He placed the Christmas gift he had brought on the bedside table and then left.

After Leonel exited, Alexis slowly opened her eyes.

In the dim light, she noticed his slight limp as he walked out with difficulty, trying his best to keep quiet- he

didn’t want to wake her.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

She watched him leave the room and heard the door close softly behind him.

Sitting up in the dark, Alexis reached for the gift.

It was a red apple.

Bringing it to her nose, she inhaled its fresh fruity scent.

It was a Christmas gift from Leonel.

With a bittersweet feeling, Alexis took a cautious bite.

The apple was both sweet and tart, delicious.

She slept well after that episode, dreaming of her younger days.

Waking up, she saw daylight streaming through the windows.

Glancing at the clock, it was already seven.

She hurried to get up, knowing she needed to take Evelyn and Daniel to school.

But as she descended the stairs, the maid informed her, “Mr.

Douglas rose early this morning.

The kids wanted to see the snow scene.

He's already taken them to school.

and gentle.

He responded softly, “I will be careful.

If there's nothing more, I'll hang up now.

Alexis was unsure what more to say.

Anything further might sound too intimate.

They didn’t bring up the apple from the previous night, nor did they discuss his late visit to her room.

These moments remained their unspoken secret.

Lost in her thoughts, Alexis was brought back to the present as Olivia yawned and descended the stairs, sitting

across from her and cheerily saying, “Good morning, Alexis! Oh, why did everyone wake up so early today? Uncle

Waylen and Aunt Rena went off to the mountains to see the snow scenery early in the morning, and they even

took Cordelia with them.

Leonel dropped Evelyn and Daniel at school.

Why is there no one to taketo see the snow?”

Alexis took a sip of her milk.
