Female NovelChapter 2426 “What's the matter? Am I that inept for you?” Alexis scoffed icily.
“How would I know your level of competence?” Leonel gazed at her for a brief moment, opting not to respond. He shifted his focus ahead in silence.

Alexis, full of thorns, occasionally pricked him painfully.
Yet, no matter the pain, he had to endure.
The atmosphere in the car grew somewhat somber. Alexis decided to play some music to lighten the mood. The soothing tunes worked wonders, bringing relief to both of them.
After a half-hour drive, Alexis halted the car.
Following a brief pause, she spoke softly.
“Let's refrain from bringing up those things from the past!” Her words held a touch of ambiguity.
Yet, Leonel grasped her sentiment; the past held no beauty for Alexis.
She preferred not to dwell on it.
His heart ached, and he nodded in understanding.
The two stepped out of the car and strolled together in silence.
After a while, Leonel brought over a small cart. They walked side by side, resembling a couple, almost like a young married pair, conspicuous and harmonious.
Unexpectedly, they encountered an old high school teacher.
It was Carlos Gibson, their physics instructor.
Both Leonel and Alexis was top students.
Carlos naturally had a lasting impression of them.
After not crossing paths for many years, his hair had turned gray.
He gazed at Leonel for a while and remarked, “You're Leonel Douglas, aren't you?" With a sharp memory, Leonel recognized him immediately.
