Chapter 2417 “You can cook?” Leonel reacted with mild surprise.
Alexis took off her jacket, letting it casually drape over the sofa.
She retorted, “I have to. How else can | cater to your needs, Mr. Douglas?” With that, a hushed silence descended upon the two of them.

“Let me handle this." “No need,” Alexis dismissed the offer with a wry smile.
“If you injure your hand again, will | have to be your lifelong caretaker?” Undeterred, Leonel followed Alexis into the kitchen. Her lithe figure moved gracefully as she prepared their midnight snack, her back a testament to its elegance.

Perhaps they would occasionally work late, and then unwind together in front of the television when they had free time.

Alexis paused in her task, taken aback.
Before she could muster a response, he gently swiveled her around.
Her face was nestled against the side of his shoulder.
Her senses were inundated with the scent of his crisp, white shirt and the faint stubble of his newly grown beard. It sent a shiver down her spine.
“Leonel, what are you up to?” she asked, her voice betraying a hint of excitement.
