Chapter 174


    Chapter 174 Why Does She Always Want to Leave?


    Terrence was walking in front of Alexa. Then, he suddenly


    turned back to grab her hand.


    Alexa subconsciously wanted to shake it off, but Terrence


    grabbed it even tighter.


    Jason and Rebekah were relieved to see them like this


    “That’s right,” Rebekah smiled in delight. “Terrence, take


    good care of Alexa.”


    “Got it.”


    Terrence responded indifferently and carefully pulled up a


    chair for Alexa.


    Alexa thought there must be something wrong with him.


    She didn’t know what he was going to do. Suspicion filled her


    heart.


    “You should prepare well for tomorrow’s dinner.”


    “Got it.”


    Rebekah looked at Terrence’s calm appearance and was not at


    ease at all.


    “Terrence, don’t cause any trouble.”


    “Mom,” Terrence said impatiently.


    Alexa silently ate her food and observed them.


    Weird silence took the ce of the intense atmosphere.


    Feeling a bit unpleasant, Terrence answered a call and then left


    in a hurry.


    Alexa had long been ustomed to it, but Terrence’s parents


    were quite dissatisfied.


    Rebekah sneered and said in a dignified tone.


    “Since Terrence does not cherish this opportunity, then let us


    teach him a lesson.”


    After Terrence left, Alexa felt a lot more rxed.


    Inspiration struck her. Alexa focused on her new design in a good mood.


    It was midnight when Alexa received a call from Edwin.


    Edwin said nervously, “I’m sorry to bother you, Mrs. Ramsey. Mr. Ramsey drank a little too much


    tonight. He’s at the door now. Could youe out and pick him up?”


    Alexa immediately ran to the window and saw Terrence’s


    Rolls-Royce parked down there.


    She had no choice but to go downstairs and help Terrence out.


    Edwin looked at them curiously.


    Terrence did drink a lot today. His smell of alcohol almost


    made Alexa throw up.


    Terrence leaned on Alexa’s thin body, but it seemed like he was


    holding her into the room.


    “Alexa…”


    “Keep your voice down. Jason and Rebekah already went to


    bed,” Alexa nervously med him.


    “OK.”


    Terrence responded in a low voice and stopped yelling.


    Alexa was holding him and moved forward step by step. Soon,


    she felt exhausted.


    “How much did you drink?”


    “Are you worrying about me?”


    Terrence teased her. Then he stopped leaning on her with all


    his weight.


    Alexa frowned and said in a bad mood.


    “I don’t care about you. It’s none of my business.”


    “Keep your voice down,” Terrence mischievously said. “They


    will hear it.”


    Alexa was suddenly speechless and almost burst into anger.


    She wondered, is he really drunk or is he just pretending?


    Alexa wanted to send Terrence to his room, but Terrence didn’t


    want to.


    “What are you doing?” he asked unhappily. “You don’t want to be responsible?”


    “What am I responsible for?” Alexa said angrily. “Terrence,


    don’t talk nonsense.”


    “Well.”


    Terrence snorted softly and walked into Alexa’s room by


    himself.


    “Terrence?”


    Alexa immediately followed in. But Terrencey on her bed


    without even hesitating.


    “What exactly do you want?”


    “Alexa, take care of me.”


    Alexa went speechless.


    She really wanted to pick up a pillow and smash it on him.


    She thought, how can he create trouble for me so tantly?


    “I can’t do that,” Alexa said nonchntly. “But I can help you


    call Brynlee.”


    “Alexa!”


    Terrence spoke with dissatisfaction, and he got up and stared


    at her.


    A momentter, he suddenly softened.


    “Can you not give me such a headache?”


    “OK.” Alexa nodded. “Do you need me to get you some painkillers?”


    Terrence frowned deeply. He was really angry.


    But Alexa didn’t know how to drive him away, so she stood in


    the corner and looked at him.


    She was wearing a set of close-fitting lingerie under her loose sleeping robe.


    Terrence boldly looked down and fixed his gaze on her slightly bulging lower abdomen.


    He was doing the calction and concluded that Alexa was


    more than 3 months pregnant.


    His gaze suddenly darkened, as if it was the rain that was about


    to pour down.


    Only then did Alexa realize that something was wrong and hurriedly tied up the straps of her sleeping


    robe.


    Terrence suddenly sobered up and put on a straight face.


    “Alexa, I’ll say it first.” He stared straight at Alexa’s guilty expression. “You better not regret it.”


    “What do I have to regret?”


    “So what if you still have feelings for Brenton?” Terrence sneered cruelly. “Aren’t you still unable to


    escape now?”


    Alexa knew that he was making a fuss about her child again.


    The glimmer of hope in her heart was extinguished.


    “Terrence, you won’t even let an innocent life live?”


    There was no trace of warmth in Terrence’s cold eyes.


    It had been so long that Alexa thought that this matter had


    been over.


    Unexpectedly, Terrence was still scheming against her baby in


    secret.


    “Terrence, how can you be so ruthless!”


    Terrence said coldly, “Alexa, I said it before. As long as you


    give up on him, I can let bygones be bygones. You will still be my wife.”


    Alexa burst intoughter.


    She sneered disdainfully with tears in her eyes.


    Alexa thought, Terrence, why are you so cold-hearted?


    “How is it?” Terrence pressed on step by step. “You should know how to choose, right?”


    “Terrence, how generous of you to offer me a choice.” Alexa stared at him coldly. “Do you really think I


    want to be your puppet?”


    “You don’t want to? I think you don’t know what’s good for


    you.”


    Terrence stood up. His drunkenness vanished.


    “I’ll give you time. Think about it again.”


    Alexa stood there motionlessly. Terrence left coldly and angrily


    mmed the door shut.


    The sheets of paper she had ced on the table were blown to the ground by the cold wind.


    Alexa squatted down and spent a long time picking them up.


    Then she shredded them.


    She thought she was not worthy of having any hope in her


    miserable life.


    Terrence sat in the study, holding an old bronze ring in his


    hand.


    This was given to him by Alexa when they got married.


    But Terrence had never worn it once.


    The cold wind with the night rain poured into the room. He


    fiddled with the ring several times and sincerely put the ring


    on the ring finger of his left hand.


    The ring was nothing fancy, but it was very good.


    Terrence tried to numb himself with alcohol again. But Alexa’s


    stubborn and cold face became clearer and clearer in front of

    his eyes.


    He had been forced to give up a lot of things and always wanted


    to catch something.


    He wondered why Alexa always wanted to run away from him.


    The lights in the study were on all night.


    The next morning, Alexa did not see Terrence in the living


    room.


    Did he leavest night?


    When Alexa was wondering, Rebekah casually said.


    “What is Terrence doing? Why hasn’t he gone downstairs yet?”


    Alexa understood and nodded lightly.


    “Rebekah, I’ll wake him up.”
