Speaking softly, Leonel remarked in a decisive tone, “I just ran into Marcus and Melissa at the entrance of the Waston Group.

They seemed really in love.

Melissa couldn’t take her eyes off Marcus as he spoke.

And when Marcus said something, she laughed happily.

Alexis relaxed her hold on the car door, mirroring Leonel’s posture as she sat upright and gazed ahead.

She then spoke casually.

“If you’re not content with our marriage as it stands, we can consider divorce.

Leonel… There are plenty of other women out there.

Surely, there’s someone who could bring you happiness.

Why stay with me?”

Suddenly, Leonel pivoted towards her, his gaze ablaze with horror and resentment.

He interrogated, enunciating each word with intensity.

“Mrs.

Douglas, do you believe I desire other women? Do you not understand what I need? It’s been years.

How much longer will you stay distant? Are you waiting for me to cheat and seek happiness elsewhere? Do you think you can’t handle this marriage anymore? Is it just to avoid disappointing your parents that you endure this every day? Have you stopped loving me completely?”

Compared to his agitation, Alexis remained remarkably composed.

She lowered her gaze and smiled gently.

“Leonel, what answer are you hoping for?”

Leonel took his time before responding, just gazing at Alexis.

When he finally spoke, his voice was rough.

“I want you to say… that you love me.

Alexis stayed quiet for a bit.

Then, she replied coolly, “Leonel, you’re pretty much on par with the Fowler family in Duefron now.

With everything at your feet, I figured love wasn’t on your wish list anymore.

Yet, Leonel wouldn’t back down.

He insisted, “Maybe it’s you who doesn’t care anymore, not me.

Alexis… It’s been three years since Calvin’s death.

Despite my mistake in sending him away and hiding his death, I’ve been devoted to you, the kids, and your folks, haven’t I? Say all that means something.

Instead of feeling touched, Alexis stared at him, a swirl of turmoil within her.

Years ago, she’d laid everything on the line for him.

Yet, all he wanted was his freedom.

Then, he realized his heart was with her and was looking to reconcile.

Despite their long separation, she was open to giving them another shot.

ALL she yearned for was simplicity in life.

In the past, she’d have scorned herself for having such low self-esteem.

But Leonel desired something beyond simplicity.

That was why Leonel harbored jealousy towards Calvin, and he wanted Calvin out of Alexis’ life.

However, To her family, Calvin had been much like Marcus.

But Leonel had decided to send Calvin away.

Tragically, Calvin ended up dying alone abroad.

She didn’t even get the chance to attend his funeral!

This thought tormented Alexis, but her hands were tied.

She and Leonel shared two kids, their parents, and even ran the family business together.

Their lives were deeply intertwined.

Cutting ties with him was out of the question, unless Leonel opted for a divorce.

Alexis never made a formal request, but facing Leonel, she realized she just couldn’t bring herself to love him again.

She fixed her gaze on Leonel and started gravely, “If you’re truly at your limit with this, maybe it’s time we…”
