Chapter 2544 He felt a chill break out at the thought of it so he refrained from probing further.
Without another word, he drove straight to his apartment.
“It's not the weekend,” Alexis pointed out.
“Does that mean | can't spend the night with you unless it's a weekend?” Leonel said in an unnervingly calm tone.
She cast a sideways glance at him.
Their relationship this time was different. They spoke little and felt a distance between them.
The intensity of Leonel's feelings overwhelmed Alexis.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlexis wondered if his need to flee in the past stemmed from similar feelings.
When they arrived at his apartment, he lifted her and carried her to the bedroom.
As evening approached, the room was bathed in the golden hues of the setting sun, both bright and soft.
Alexis resisted his advances.
She nudged him. “The curtains.” Leonel pressed a button to close the curtains. Then his breath turned seductive in the darkness... Alexis burrowed her face in the pillow and asked him to use protection.
Leonel whispered against her lips, “Alexis, let's have a child." “Huh! You wish.
‘Why would | as an unmarried woman, bear your child?” His response was a passionate kiss. His lips eventually trailed to her ear.
“Then why do you have sex with me?” She kicked him. “Isn't it because you're aroused?” Leonel’s gaze deepened.
He eventually complied with her request and wore a condom.
His passion waned after he orgasmed twice. His mind was clearly somewhere else. He was not so excited, but he didn’t want to let her go. She just buried her head in the pillow and soon fell asleep.
Leonel tenderly kissed her damp hair when he saw this.
The night fell.
He glanced at the clock and noted it was already eight. Alexis was asleep beneath him.
He swallowed.
He wondered if she thought it was boring to have sex with him.
He stood up and went to take a shower. When he was done, he went to the kitchen to prepare a simple but nutritious dinner. He then returned to the bedroom to wake her up when dinner was set.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe found Alexis awake.
She was sitting on the bedside, confused.
Leonel walked up to her and softly stroked her hair. “You fell asleep.” Alexis smiled and said, “I fell asleep during sex. Isn't that the sign you're being looking for? Leonel, this is pointless and we should let go of each other go as soon as we can.” He looked at her and didn't reply.
Silently, they had dinner. Alexis didn’t inquire about his situation with Serenity. It was his concern, not hers.
Even though Alexis didn’t ask, Leonel was likely to share eventually.
Their relationship was functional yet hollow. They shared meals, a bed, intimacy, but the spark was gone. Leonel wondered what happened to the old Alexis.
She once desired him so deeply.
Now, she was calm and detached. It was a stark contrast to her previous longing.
Leonel felt unsettling knowing he couldn't fully really have Alexis.
He was trapped by his own emotions. The more he couldn't get Alexis, the more he yearned for control over her. Even knowing she resented it, he couldn't help himself...
