Chapter 2534 She tenderly caressed his face and smiled. “I do enjoy thepany of a man like you, and I feel good being intimate with you. However, when ites to marriage, I can only say that you can bring a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.” “What if I want to marry you?” Wearing a subtle smile, Alexis remarked, “Leonel, you''vepelled me toe around and ept you. We''re already sharing the same bed. What? If I choose not to marry you, will you resort to threats or force me into marriage?” She doubted he was ready to go to such extremes.


    ANGELA''SLIBRARY Leonel fixed his gaze on her, offering a smile.


    Indeed, this was the essence of Alexis.


    Her nature didn''t incline her to marry obediently.


    She gently pushed him aside and headed for the bathroom. “I have othermitments this afternoon. Moreover, I have work to attend to, and I can’t always be by your side.

    However, she declined, not only because she didn''t want to have a child with him but also because she wasn''t particrly enthusiastic about the responsibilities of childcare.


    Yet now a hint of envy crept into her thoughts as she observed these couples.


    She spected that these expectant women were likely in blissful rtionships, evident in their joyous pregnancies.
