Evelyn whispered in awe, “She’s so cute! Her skin is softer than Daniel's was, but her hair is so thin.
At her words, Daniel blushed.
“Humph, | don’t want to be compared to girls.
Though he tried to sound indifferent, Daniel was eager to get closer to his sister.
He assured Alexis, “I washed my hands and brushed my teeth,” seeking her approval.
With a nod from Alexis, Daniel gently ki*sed Cordelia on the cheek and lovingly sniffed her clothes, mimicking
the affectionate gestures of a puppy.
His baby sibling smelled delightful!
Evelyn, supporting her head with her hands, gazed at her sister with a mix of excitement and worry.
She longed for the day they could play together but fretted over the baby growing up too quickly.
Meanwhile, Alexis watched her children with a complex swirl of emotions.

Initially, she hadn't felt much affection for this baby at the beginning of her pregnancy.
She had felt compelled to go through with the birth.
Yet, as the pregnancy progressed... her feelings changed; bonding with the unborn child csurprisingly easily.
Despite her issues with Leonel, she couldn't harbor any resentment toward her own flesh and blood.
Seeing Evelyn and Daniel embrace their sister brought a sense of relief that welled up into tears.
Leonel placed a gentle hand on her shoulder, his voice soft.
“The kids are thrilled to meet their sister.
What's got you so emotional?”
“Don’t be silly.
I'm not crying,” Alexis said, her voice breaking despite her protests.
Leonel gave a faint smile in response.
Even the nanny dabbed at her eyes, moved by the scene.
She wondered if Leonel and Alexis had reconciled.
The common saying held that no couple was without disputes; perhaps Alexis had forgiven Leonel following the
birth?
Alexis knew what the servant might be thinking.
But she remained silent.
Given that she would be staying with Leonel for a while here, she chose not to clarify their temporary
arrangement or her plans to leave once recovered from the delivery.
Thus, when the servants organized her belongings and filled the cloakroom with her clothes, Alexis offered no
objections...
After dinner, the children retired to their rooms and soon fell asleep.
Having fed Cordelia, Alexis was about to take a shower when Leonel reached for her hand, his voice hoarse.
“Lethelp you with the shower.
Alexis was taken aback by Leonel’s words.

Leonel whispered in her ear again, “You've just given birth, so you're still delicate.
Lethelp you wash up.
| promise, | don’t have any other intentions.
Would you liketo swear to God on this?”
Alexis murmured nonchalantly, “Save it.
A man’s promise is the least valuable thing in this world.
Leonel drew nearer and spoke in a low, husky voice.
“Alright, tellyour plan then.
I'm listening, Alexis.
Outside, the night was dark and quiet, while inside, the room was brightly lit and beautiful.
Alexis, dressed in a white nightdress, had her long, dark brown hair flowing down her back.
Though he had never entertained thoughts of intimacy with her at this moment, Leonel still felt drawn to her.
