The ordeal was finally behind them.
After picking up the baby from the hospital, Leonel drove them directly back to the villa where they used to live
together.
As they prepared to get out of the car, Alexis cradled the baby in her arms and said, “She can stay in the baby’s
room where Daniel used to stay.
Leonel stepped out of the car and made his way to her side.
As the servant handled the luggage, Leonel gently took the baby into his arms, ensuring to shield her from the
wind while simultaneously draping a shawl over Alexis.
He said softly, “I've arranged a new room for her.
Head upstairs and see if it suits your liking.
Alexis was taken aback momentarily but swiftly comprehended his intention.

She acquiesced with a simple “Okay.
Leonel felt a twinge of gratification.
He led the way with baby Cordelia cradled in his arms, while a servant helped Alexis upstairs.
Situated on the second floor’'s western side was the new nursery.
The atmosphere was cozy in the autumn evening.
The room, adorned in pink hues, exuded a lovely charm, perfectly suited for a baby girl like Cordelia.
As Leonel gently placed Cordelia in the crib and prepared to cover her with a thin blanket, she stirred awake, her
face flushing red as she kicked her legs in excitement.
Leonel checked her body and said, “She’s wet.
I'll attend to her diaper.
The servant helped Alexis settle onto the sofa, ensuring her comfort.
With Alexis settled, the servant then proceeded downstairs to attend to the remaining luggage.
Seeing Leonel’s swift diaper change, memories of Daniel's infancy flooded Alexis’ mind.
She recalled how Leonel had cared for Daniel in a similar manner.
Avoiding Leonel’s gaze, Alexis refrained from allowing her mind to dwell on additional thoughts.
She made her way to the French window and drew back the curtains, revealing a view of a quaint maple forest
outside.
The autumn season had painted the maple trees in vibrant shades of red.
Alexis’ eyes flickered with intensity as she pressed her head against the window, her tone gentle as she spoke to
Leonel.
“Why must you be so obstinate, Leonel? Settingfree would benefit us both, and the children would grow up
without the burden.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Leonel attended to Cordelia’s diaper change.

Alexis’ words halted Leonel’s hands mid-task, prompting him to look up.
Outside, the red maple leaves blazed like flames.
Separated by the glass window, Alexis stood by it, her bare face reminiscent of her appearance in the past,
catching Leonel’s attention.
Leonel stared at her for a while.
As the baby in the crib began to cry again, indicating hunger, Leonel’s thoughts ceased as he swiftly lifted the
baby into his arms.
He leaned in close to Alexis and whispered, “She’s probably hungry.
You feed her first.
I'll go downstairs to cook for you.
Despite the lingering estrangement between the former couple, the cries of the baby demanded their immediate
attention.
In that moment, they had to set aside their differences and prioritize the needs of their child.
