Hester knew Alexis was a lawyer, so there was no way she’d win an argument with her.
still, she sneered.
“If Leonel wanted to see you, he'd be in the drawing room with us.
But he’s not, so it’s clear he’s moved on.

Love fades-it doesn’t last forever.

No one stays in love forever.
But Miss Molina, if Leonel really cared about you, you two would be married by now, wouldn't you? And if he held

Hester felt the burn from Alexis’ words and couldn't think of a comeback.

Meanwhile, the servant almost cracked up.
She thought Hester got exactly what she deserved.
Alexis didn’t stick around much longer.
She took a towel from the servant to dry her face.
Then she said gently, “Tell Leonel | cby.

Hearing this, Alexis paused.
After a brief silence, she asked in a steady voice, “How much is Leonel paying you?”
Hester's face went white as a sheet when she heard that.

around.
You should change the guards and the household staff so she can’t just waltz in here.
She felt a twinge of nerves after saying that.
But then she composed herself and went on, “I mean, I'm more suited for you than she is.
I'm single, and | don’t have kids.
That was when Leonel finally spoke up.
