When he picked up, Evelyns sweet voice greeted him. Daddy, I cant sleep. Can you tell me a story? Upon hearing his little girls voice, Leonels tension eased, and his heart melted.
He settled onto the bed with a fairy tale book and asked gently, Whyre you still up, sweetheart? Its late.
Evelyn persisted, saying she couldnt sleep without a bedtime story.
While Leonel read, his voice was soothing and deep. Occasionally, he stole glances at Alexis, almost flirting.
Ignoring him, Alexis headed to the bathroom. Since the servants were off duty, she took care of chores. Leonels clothes were strewn on the floor. She gathered them for laundry, spotting a lipstick stain on his shirt collar.
It wasnt hers.
It was as if another woman had left her mark Gripping the clothes, Alexis pondered what was going on.
She no longer felt love for Leonel but she didnt expect him to be with someone else right after their intimacy.
With a heavy heart, Alexis glanced at the bedroom.
Perhaps Leonel had finally reached his limit and wanted to end things Putting away the dirty laundry, Alexis rinsed her hands. When she returned to the bedroom, Leonel had put Evelyn to sleep. Turning to her, he murmured, I promised Evelyn Id drop her off at school in the morning. Then, lll drive you to work.
Alexis simply nodded.
She climbed into bed, lying beside Leonel. He was about to make a move, enticed by her scent Glancing at him, Alexis asked softly, Did James arrange some company for you tonight? Her words caught Leonel off guard.
Alexis wasnt one to beat around the bush. I found Lipstick mark on your shirt when I put it into the washing machine. It doesnt seem accidental ora prank, she said plainly.
After all, no one could approach Leonel without his consent.
In essence, hed been with another woman.
Leonel knew Alexis too well.
If she discovered Anika and what happened at the apartment, shed ask for a divorce without hesitation.
So, he chose to lie.
Facing Alexis inquiry, he switched off the light, lay down, and replied casually, Nah, James didnt set anything up. Probably just a prank. You know those guys. Ill deal with it next time. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
