Chapter 3838
Alexis planted a gentle ki*s on his cheek and said, “You’ll have plenty more surprises ahead.
Life’s like a journey, isn’t it? Besides our love, we’ve got the kids to raise and responsibilities to those we care about.
”
After planting a ki*s on his cheek, Alexis moved to get out of bed.
However, Leonel gently pinched her chin, pulling her back into a lingering ki*s that lasted for quite some time.
He held onto her tightly until he himself was burning with lust.
“Time for bed! I’m off on a business trip tomorrow.
You know, I have to contribute to the family,” Alexis said resignedly.
Since it was a legal aid case, she didn’t charge any fees for her services.
She was expected to remain in Tashkao for three days.
The following morning, Alexis rose early, knowing she had to dash to the airport after breakfast.
Yet, upon entering the cloakroom, she discovered her luggage neatly packed, containing all the essentials for the upcoming three-day trip.
Gazing at the luggage, tears welled up in her eyes.
Despite their intimacy the previous night, part of her remained uncertain if it was real or just a dream.
However, now she was sure that Leonel really was back in her life.
Meanwhile, Leonel had approached and leaned against the doorway.
He looked incredibly alluring in his light gray turtle-neck sweater.
Holding a glass of milk, he inquired gently, “Take a look and see if you need anything else.
If not, I’ll take you to the airport later.
”
Securing her suitcase, Alexis wrapped her arms around his neck and praised, “You’re so considerate, Mr.
Douglas!”
Leonel frowned, teasingly objecting, “You weren’t so formal when we were in the car last night… Do you need me to refresh your memory, Miss Fowler?”
Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment upon hearing his remark.
Playfully nibbling his chin, she retorted, “I’ll deal with you when I return from my trip.
”
After uttering those words, she made her way to the bathroom.
Leonel’s gaze lingered on her retreating form as Alexis walked away.
Sunlight streamed through the window, casting a halo-like glow around her.
Witnessing this scene, Leonel couldn’t resist asking, “When will we be getting the paperwork?”
After a brief pause, Alexis asked, “What paperwork?”
“The marriage certificate!” Leonel exclaimed, his tone tinged with urgency.
“Well, don’t you think it’s rather nice just living together Like this?”
Leonel was dumbfounded to hear that.
