Chapter 3807
Inside the warm car, Alexis removed her wool overcoat, revealing a black wool dress inside.
She glanced up at him and corrected, “Oh, he’s actually 33.
Not much younger than me.
Leonel remained silent, turning to gaze out the window.
From Alexis‘ perspective, the profile of his face-the sharp jawline and pronounced nose-was clearly visible,
signaling his irritation.
Alexis retrieved a thermos from the compartment and unscrewed the Lid to take a sip.
Leonel caught a glimpse and remarked with a hint of annoyance, “That's my cup.
Yours is the light pink one.

She paused, looking down at the thermos in her hands, and replied, “It’s chicken soup.
Leonel, you've really started taking care of yourself.
What's the matter? Afraid you can’t keep up with a younger woman?”
The driver blushed at her words.
Leonel glared at her.
“Nonsense! What younger woman are you talking about?”
Ignoring his reaction, Alexis took a sip from the thermos, her actions fluid and unconcerned.

It doesn’t hurt as much anymore, but it still looks terrible.
Alexis watched him intently.
Just as he thought she would remain silent, she murmured, “Those who truly love you won't be scared away by
sscars.
Leonel trembled slightly.
He turned to speak to her, but she had already straightened up and was typing a message.
The profile picture of the person she was messaging appeared to be of a young man.
A twinge of jealousy surged through Leonel.
Their conversation stalled as the black limousine glided along the city streets.
After a while, Alexis noticed the driver had slowed down and seemed to take a scenic detour along the river.
She found it tedious.
Tapping on the partition, she said, “If you keep taking detours, we won't be eating until midnight.
