Thirty minutes later, they reached Carlos’ house. Leonel picked some fruits and a bouquet from their shopping and climbed the stairs, with Alexis trailing behind.
Upon entering, Leonel took out his coat and volunteered to assist Connie in the kitchen.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtConnie chuckled and said, “Better to keep your girlfriend company!” But when Leonel turned around, he noticed that Alexis was already deep in a lively discussion with Carlos.
