Alexis and Leonel locked eyes, their eyes revealing a mix of complex emotions.
It was the first tthey had experienced such close contact since Leonel announced he had a girlfriend.
After a moment, Alexis regained composure and asked, “Why didn’t you bring your girlfriend?”
Leonel inquired, “Would you prefer if | brought her along?”
Alexis remained silent.
She believed speaking too much would reveal her inability to move on, especially with so many people present.

Leonel’s fingers tightened as he felt the warmth lingering in his hand.

He certainly wasn't talking about you.
Leonel frowned, feeling a sense of helplessness wash over him.

serve dinner.
The atmosphere during dinner was somewhat awkward, with everyone lost in their own thoughts.
After dinner, as Leonel prepared to leave, Evelyn couldn't resist running over to him and handing him a pink hot

Leonel accepted it, his eyes brimming with emotion.
Wanting to avoid disappointing his child, he replied, “Alright, thank you.
