《We Will Collide Someday》 Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Chapter 1 A Mistress-Like Wife In New York, Duckdale Vi. The sky above the mountains was gloomy. Suddenly, thunder appeared and a big rain poured out. The woman on the bed woke up with a frown. Her ck hair fell down to her waist, making her skin even fairer. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey.¡± Mina Collins knocked on the door. ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey is back.¡± Hearing this, Alexa Duran was shocked. ¡°Alright, I¡®ll be right out.¡± She did not dare dy in the slightest and immediately freshened up and put on the set of jewelry that Terrence had given her. Ten minutester, Alexa nervously held a report and anxiously appeared in front of Terrence. Terrence wore a high¨Cend custom¨Cmade ck suit and sat upright at the dining table, elegantly cutting a piece of Philippe steak ¡°You just woke up?¡± He spoke in a deep voice, his voice maic and charming. Even if he just said four simple words, Alexa was fascinated. ¡°Sorry for making you wait so long.¡± ¡°It¡®s fine.¡± Terrence looked up at her with a deep gaze. ¡°Didn¡®t you go on a business trip for three days? Why are you back today?¡± ¡°I have something to say.¡± Alexa suddenly clenched her hands and tightly gripped the corner of her clothes. Her hands were sweating. ¡°Actually... I have something to tell you...¡± She stood far away, so her voice was low like a mosquito. Terrence did not seem to hear what she was saying. Terrence did not answer. His slender finger pointed at the document at the side, indicating for Alexa to take it. A little closer, the words on the cover suddenly burst into her eyes. This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Divorce agreement? Terrence treated her well over the past two years. He loved her and doted on her. They were a loving couple. Alexa even felt that such a peaceful and happy day would never be affected. But now, Terrence suddenly proposed to divorce her. Alexa desperately controlled her emotions so that she would not lose herposure. At this moment, she was right in front of Terrence, but she did not have the courage to reach out and pick up the document. ¡°The contract says it¡®s three years, right?¡± Alexa managed to calin down and forced a bitter smile. ¡°Brynlee is back. I promised her.¡± Terrence said coldly and indifferently. ¡°It will end one day. The earlier the better maybe.¡± This was the reason why he agreed to marry a girl from the Duran family. I look Alexa a long time to calm down. Her palm was already red since she pinched her palm so hard. Everyone felt that she was merely a tool from the two families to unite, but Alexa knew what this marriage meant to her. Resisting the bitterness in her heart, she quietly swallowed what she was about to say Soon, the disappointment on her face disappeared and was reced by a forced smile. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, congratte you.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± He responded in a calm voice, without any emotional ups and downs. Alexa did not leave immediately, but sat opposite him and asked Mina to serve her a bowl of porridge. Actually, she had no appetite at all, but she still wanted to stay here. Perhaps, it would be thest time she would eat with him. Alexa absentmindedly stirred the hot porridge with her spoon, her expression sluggish. Terrence sized her up with his cold eyes. ¡°What are you thinking about?¡± ng! The spoon that was suddenly released hit the wall of the bowl and made a crisp sound, immediately pulling Alexa back to her senses. ¡°Nothing...¡± ¡°Don¡®t lie.¡± Alexa looked up in slight horror. Terrence was staring at her with his dark and deep eyes. ¡°Can... Can we wait another half a year?¡± she asked softly. ¡°What?¡± Alexa almost buried her head in the bowl. ¡°For the past two years, your parents have been very good to me. They may not know that we are going to divorce.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± ¡®Terrence nodded thoughtfully. ¡°Then let¡®s wait until Dad¡®s 60¨Cyear¨Cold birthday.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Alexa could not wait to reply. After she said that, an exclusive ringtone sounded. Terrence answered the call with Alexa right in front of him. Terrence just said a few words, but Alexa saw his softest and gentlest side. Alexa looked at him nkly, her heart aching as if it was bleeding It was obvious who the person on the other side of the line was. The one in Tertence¡®s heart was someone she could never match. I wasughable that she was able to witness his gentleness because of some other woman. ¡°I still have something to do. I¡®ll leave first.¡± Alexa got up and wanted to help him take the coat. Her lungs suddenly ached and her face turned pale. But Terrence found nothing abnormal about her. He left without looking back. After he left, Alexa quickly rallied into the toilet and crouched in front of the washstand. The blood she coughed out quickly dyed the white ceramic red. After the pain was relieved, she took out the report in her bag with trembling hands and fell to the ground against the wall. Her illness was worsening at an uncontroble rate. Even if she was treated in the most advanced hospital, St. Paolo Hospital, she would live one year more at most. Alexa closed her eyes and panted heavily. If she could properly deal with all the post¨Cmatters within this year, then she would have nothing to worry about. Alexa¡®s misty eyes suddenly lit up. She swallowed a pill in pain and forced herself to leave the bathroom. After taking the medicine, she was sleepy again, but suddenly there was a call. Terrence Ramsey. When she saw the name, Alexa instantly sobered up a lot. ¡°Hello?¡± Alexa had just coughed, so her voice was a little hoarse. Terrence could tell that something was wrong with her voice. ¡°What¡®s wrong?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine. I just caught a cold.¡± Alexa bitterly replied. ¡°Put on more clothes. It¡®s getting cold.¡± Was he saying it casually, or was he really concerned about her? Alexa cautiously said, ¡°What¡®s the matter?¡± ¡°There¡®s a banquet tonight. Come with me.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Alexa was astonished, but Terrence had already hung up the phone. Did she hear correctly just now? Brynlee Walton had returned but Terrence had actually still asked her to go to the banquet with him! Alexa¡¯s heart beat faster and faster. She held her phone in her hands, but couldn¡®t sit down calmly at all. Not long after, Terrence¡¯s assistant, Edwin Bradshaw, came to the door with the top makeup team. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, Mr. Ramsey is dealing with thepany¡®s affairs. He wille to pick you upter.¡± Every word that Edwin said made Alexa feel very unreal. ¡°He really said that?¡± Hearing this, Edwin smiled. ¡°Of course, you are Mrs. Ramsey.¡± What was Terrence thinking? Alexa couldn¡®t understand him. He loved Brynlee so much. Wouldn¡®t Brynlee mind him appearing with another woman in public as a loving couple? Thinking of this, Alexa suddenly felt a touch of pain in her heart. She was the real ¡°Mrs. Ramsey¡°. But why did she seem like a mistress? Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Terrence, I Mind It Very Much The stylist prepared Alexa a champagne-colored fishtail dress. The dress was a backless one, so her beautiful sphenoid bone was exposed Alexa sat in front of the dressing iable. Even the stylist eximed about her beauty after dressing her up. It was the first time he had met such a stunning model in his many years of career. Alexa¡®s facial features were very delicate. Aller slightly applying makeup, more charrn was added to her beauty, making people unable to move their eyes away from her. Being watched by so many people, Alexa was also a little embarrassed and subconsciously bowed her head to tidy the hem. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, Mr. Ramsey will arrive five minutester.¡± Hearing this, Alexa immediately got up and impatiently walked to the door. ¡°I¡®m going to wait for him.¡± This might be thest time she attended a banquet with Terrence, and she did not want to leave a bad impression on him. Standing in the cold wind for a moment, a limited edition Maybach finally stopped in front of her. The driver got out of the car and opened the door of the back seat for her. Alexa looked down and saw a man in ck. Terrence had indeede! Alexa could no longer stay calm and she carefully sat down next to him. This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. The stunning man was sitting there with his legs crossed. He looked elegant and noble. He slightly raised his head and his deep eyes fell on her for a while. ¡°This dress is good. It suits you very well.¡± Alexa smiled charmingly. ¡°Thank you.¡± Since then, Terrence had no more words to say. Alexa seemed a little reserved. She moved her hands out of nervousness continuously. ¡°Are you cold?¡± ¡°No, not cold...¡± Terrence turned on the heater suddenly and held her hand very naturally in the next second. Feeling the warmth, Alexa was stunned and looked at his palm in disbelief. However, Terrence looked calm as he turned around to look at Alexa. ¡°Your hands are cold!¡± Terrence seemed domineering, so he always brought people pressure. Alexa lowered her head and didn¡¯t dare to look into his eyes. After that, Terrence took out a shawl from a gift box and wrapped it tightly around Alexa¡¯s exposed shoulder and neck. ¡°I will be less beautiful then,¡± Alexa muttered in a low voice. ¡°Still beautiful as just now.¡± Terrence said domineeringly, ¡°As long as I said it. You are still beautiful.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Alexa smiled faintly. ¡°Why have you be so thin recently? Have you eaten on time?¡± She chuckled with a hint of sadness in her eyes ¡°I have no appetite.¡± What he did just now made him still look like a caring husband, making her unable to forget about him resolutely. If she could live a little longer and stay by his side a little longer, was there still hope? Alexa bit her lips and was about to reveal the truth. ¡°Don¡®t be too thin, lest anyone think I am abusing you.¡± Terrence¡®s words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Alexa. Alexa felt cold all over, It turned out that he was doing these things for others to see. ¡°I understand.¡± Alexa looked out of the window and ended the conversation. The banquet was held in the most luxurious hotel in New York, Regal Hotel. There were a lot of rich and powerful people here. It could be seen how rich and powerful the host was. The driver slowly stopped the car in front of the red carpet. The media present recognized that it was the car of the Ramsey family and they turned their cameras toward the car. When the car door opened, Alexa immediately put on an elegant smile and slowly ced her hand on Terrence¡®s palm. The moment she appeared, all the people at the scene froze for a moment. What a gorgeous beauty! No... No... Someone at the scene quickly recognized her. It was the daughter of a fallen family who married Terrence two years ago! It was so shocking! Everyone was shocked. The clicking sounds appeared one after another. They were all focusing on Alexa. For the past two years, the outside world had been specting about her current situation. No one had expected that she would attend this party as ¡°Mrs. Ramsey¡± tonight. Alexa had attended many banquets with her brother before, so she was not frightened by the scene in front of her. Instead, she calmly held Terrence¡®s arm and entered the venue in a dignified manner. Terrence was also surprised that she was so calm. It seemed that his wife was not as simple as he thought. ¡°Terrence.¡± A gentle and intellectual female voice sounded behind them. Terrence immediately let go of Alexa and looked back Alexa looked over and her expression turned tense. The self confidence she had put up instantly copsed. Brynlee wore a resplendent starry sky¨Cblue dress. She elegantly lifted her hem and slowly walked towards them. Then, she took the opportunity to hold Terrence¡®s arin. ¡°You didn¡®t wait for me.¡± Sheined coquettishly Terrence¡®s expression was very gentle. He said with a smile, ¡°You were too tiredst night. I wanted you to rest a little longer.¡± The two of them talked about such a private topic in front of Alexa without any concerns, just like a loving couple. When Alexa heard this, she was stunned and she couldn¡®t say anything for a long time. After chatting with Terrence for a while, Brynlee seemed to notice that there was another person beside her. She eximed in surprise and leaned close against Alexa intimately. ¡°Oh my goodness. You are Alexa, right?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Terrence said indifferently. ¡°We haven¡®t seen each other for so many years. You are getting more and more beautiful.¡± . With that, Brynlee mysteriously leaned closer. ¡°There must be a lot of boys pursuing you, right?¡± Terrence heard this as well and he inadvertently nced at Alexa. Alexa tensed up. Her face was red as she refuted, ¡°No, no.¡± ¡°I was joking. You¡®re already a big girl, yet you¡®re still so shy,¡± Brynlee said. The more she spoke, the more embarrassed Alexa became. Her face seemed to burn. Brynlee smiled, turned around, and wrapped her arm around Terrence¡®s arm, standing intimately beside him, as if she was dering her sovereignty over him. ¡°Alexa, I still have something to do with Terrence. We can¡®t be with you.¡± ¡°It doesn¡®t matter. I understand,¡± Alexa said weakly. ¡°Alright.¡± Brynlee said warmly, ¡°Come to me if you need anything.¡± ¡°Take care of yourself,¡± Terrence said very formally. Alexa looked at their backs. She felt as if someone had grabbed her neck and she could not breathe. It seemed that she was the extra one. Not knowing what Terrence had gone to do, Alexa did not dare to go far and had to wait for him in the same ce. Not long after, the live orchestra changed its tune and a conspicuous light shone on the center of the dance floor. Chapter 2 Terrence, I Mind It Very Much The opening dance was about to begin. ¡°Wee, guests. We would like to invite Ms. Walton and Mr. Ramsey to bring us the opening dance¡± Hearing the host¡®s announcement, Alexa felt her mind go nk. She totally froze there still. In the midst of the warm apuse, she personally saw Terrence and Brynlee enter the dancing floor together and dance to the music. It was really romantic. Alexa could only mock herself. She didn¡®t know what other words could describe her emotions. As Terrence¡®s wife, she was really magnanimous. ¡°I understand.¡± Alexa recalled these words over and over again in her heart. She felt that her heart was broken into pieces. Terrence, I mind it very much. ¡°Ms. Duran.¡°Behind Alexa, a calm and gentle male voice sounded. Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Are You Cheating? Alesa instantly changed her expression and turned around in a reserved manner The man stood tall and straight not far way, dressed in an elegant silver gray suit, said with a refined temperament The moment Alexa turned around, Kirtan Powell¡®s calm res suddenly were filled with astonishment I was Terrence¡®s wife, who came with Terrence However... Kieran nced at the two people in the middle of the dance floor The rtionship between these three people was really interesting ¡°Mrs Ramsey,¡± Kieran immediately changed his words and handed over an exquisite hair ornament, ¡°I picked it up from the side.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Alexa politely thanked him and took the hair ornament from his hand. She put it in her handbag and never wore it again Although Alexa had put on makeup, as a professional surgeon, Kieran could tell at a nce that Alexa was not in a good condition. ¡°There¡®s a lounge on the second floor. If you need to have a rest, you can contact the waiter.¡± Hearing this, Alexa was stunned, as if someone had pped her twice on the spot. It was a joke for her to be alone here. But no matter what happened, she was still known as ¡°Mrs. Ramsey¡°, and she could not be defeated miserably in public. ¡°Thank you, sir,¡± Alexa said with a dignified and generous smile. ¡°I¡®m going to wait for my husband. Excuse me.¡± Since Alexa said so, Kieran would not meddle in other people¡®s business. However, looking at her stubborn and aloof back, he always felt he had been somehow familiar with Alexa. At this time, at the other end, someone saw their interaction. Terrence¡®s gaze had long be sharp and cold, faint mes were burning in his eyes, and his entire body was filled with a murderous aura. How dare Kieran seduce his woman? Thinking of Alexa¡®s smile in front of Kieran, Terrence couldn¡®t help but be even angrier. When Terrence wasn¡®t around, she was really good at having fun with others. At the end of the party, Alexa finally saw Brynlee and Terrence again. Brynlee looked like she was enjoying herself and leaned intimately beside Terrence, having a lot to talk to him about. Alexa numbly watched them approach and forced herself to squeeze out a smile. Terrence took Brynlee by the waist and let her stay in his arms. This scene was too dazzling. Alexa pretended not to see them and lowered her eyes to leave. ¡°Alexa.¡± Brynlee called her. ¡°It¡¯s sote. It¡®s not safe for you to go back alone.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± ¡°I¡®ll get Terrence to send you off.¡± It sounded like she was already ¡®Terrence¡¯s wife. Alexa felt very ufortable and did not reply for a long time. Terrence¡¯s cold gaze fixed on her body. Alexa felt a wave of hostility, but she pretended not to know about it. Brynlee realized what had happened, and she smiled more dly. ¡°No need.¡± ¡°Then I¡®ll take you home.¡± Alexa repeatedly refused, not wanting to ruin their mood. ¡°Let¡®s go.¡± Brynlee stepped forward and took her arm. ¡°We can have a chat.¡± Being pushed into the car by her, Alexa just happened to receive a call from Rebekah. ¡°Mom.¡± ¡°Alexa,e back tonight. I have something to tell you.¡± Brynlee was happier than Alexa when she learned that Alexa was going to the Ramsey¡®s house. ¡°That¡®s good. I¡®m going to visit the Ramsey family, too. I¡®ve been abroad for so long and I really miss them.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± ¡°Alexa, did Terrence make things difficult for you when he returned this time?¡± ¡°No.¡± The emotions in her heart made Alexa not want to discuss Terrence with Brynlee at all. ¡°That¡®s good,¡± Brynlee said in high spirits, ¡°It looks like he took my words in.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°Terrence told me everything. You told him to divorce in half a year.¡± Brynlee¡¯s words sounded so harsh. Alexa felt sad. Terrence was clearly the one who wanted to end this marriage. ¡°I¡®m really sorry. He spent the past two years on me,¡± Brynlee said gently. ¡°So I will let him treat you well in thest half year. He won¡¯t make things difficult for you again.¡± Alexa finally understood. For the first time ever, Terrence publicly acknowledged her as his wife. And it turned out that it was Brynlee who forced him to do it. Alexa felt that she was really the stupidest fool in the world. ¡°Brynlee, you don¡®t have to do this,¡± Alexa said lightly, ¡°We don¡®t have any affection for each other from the beginning.¡± Hearing Alexa say this, Brynlee became less wary. They soon arrived at the Ramsey¡®s home. Hearing the noise outside the door, the butler immediately brought people out. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey.¡± The butler, Brady Chace, greeted Alexa kindly, but the moment he saw Brynlee, his expression immediately became indifferent and serious. ¡°Mr. Chace,¡± Brynlee said sweetly as she walked forward. ¡°I¡®m here to visit Terrence¡®s parents.¡± Brady was indifferent and politely chased Brynlee away. ¡°Ms. Walton, please leave. They don¡®t want to see you.¡± In front of so many servants and Alexa, Brady was so straightforward that Brynlee could not bear it. ¡°They may have misunderstood me. Mr. Chace, you should let me exin it to them personally.¡± ¡°No need.¡± ¡°At least, let me personally hand these gifts over to them.¡± ¡°Ms. Walton, you don¡®t have to do these useless things. You should know what they want.¡± Hearing those words, Brynlee felt like she had been ruthlessly pped twice, so she had to leave with an ashamed and annoyed face. Alexa wanted to say something but stopped. The butler¡®s face immediately softened. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, pleasee in.¡± Following the butler into the living room, Alexa found that Rebekah and Jason Ramsey were actually there, and they looked a little annoyed. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Mrs. Ramsey.¡± ¡°Alexa.¡± Rebekah got up. ¡°Why are you alone? Didn¡®t Terrencee back with you?¡± ¡°Madam, Ms. Walton came just now. I have already asked her to leave.¡± Hearing the butler¡¯s words, Rebekah became annoyed. Alexa was the granddaughter¨Cinw that Jason¡®s parents had personally chosen, so Rebekah and Jason had always followed the wishes of the two elders and treated Alexa as their own daughter. They had thought that Terrence could understand their intentions, but they had not expected that after Brynlee returned to the country, he would actually abandon his wife and fool around with a mistress all day long. ¡°How dare shee to visit?¡± ¡°Mrs. Rainsey¡­¡± ¡°How dare she be so shameless? she even wants to visit us. I didn¡®t expect that the daughter of the Walton family would be so rude.¡± Rebekah said coldly and held Alexa¡®s hand tightly. ¡°Jason, what do you think?¡± ¡°I¡®ll tell Terrence toe back right away.¡± Jason¡®s face was dark, and he looked really angry. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Mrs. Ramsey, calm down.¡± Alexa quickly got up and poured a cup of coffee for each of them. ¡°Terrence didn¡®t bully me. Now that he¡®s handling affairs in thepany, he didn¡®te back with me.¡± ¡°Alexa, don¡®t speak up for him. We know very well what he did.¡± Not long after, Alexa saw Terrencee in with a gloomy face, and his cold and powerful aura made people feel fear. Alexa¡®s hands on his legs suddenly trembled. The moment she met his eyes, her gaze dodged a little. Terrence¡®s lips curled up slightly, and there was a hint of darkness in his eyes. ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°What a rare guest.¡± Rebekah smiled kindly. ¡°I almost forgot that I still have a son.¡± Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org. ¡°Mom...¡± Terrence asked wearily. ¡°What are you doing now?¡± ¡°What am I doing? Why don¡®t you tell me what you are doing outside?¡± ¡°I¡®m dealing with the business of thepany overseas.¡± ¡°Are you dealing with the business or cheating?¡± Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Chapter 4 You Really Hate Brynlee This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Isn¡®t Brynlee¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough!¡± Jason shouted, ¡°If you still regard yourself as one of the Ramsey family, you should remember your grandparents¡¯st words.¡± ¡°Now that things havee to this, what do you want?¡± ¡°What do we want?¡± Rebekah asked slowly and smiled sweetly. Two minutester, Terrence and Alexa were locked in the same room, ¡°If you don¡®t get Alexa¡®s forgiveness, don¡®t even think of leaving the house!¡± Rebekah said through the door and let the servant lock the door of the house, Terrence secretly gritted his teeth, and anger surged in his heart. His face was extremely gloomy. ¡°I¡®m sorry. 1 exined it to your parents, but...¡± ¡°Amazing.¡± ¡°What?¡± Terrence turned around and approached her. Alexa was about to dodge him, but her jaw was mped by him, and she had to meet his murderous gaze. ¡°I really didn¡®t expect Mrs. Ramsey to be full of tricks.¡± ¡°I didn¡®t...¡± ¡°Didn¡®t you?¡± Terrence gritted his teeth, his words full of ridicule. ¡°Don¡®t you believe me?¡± ¡°Are you worth believing?¡± Hearing him say such words, Alexa felt extremely frustrated. ¡°It looks like I have nothing to exin.¡± Alexa attempted to break free of his hand, but Terrence¡®s eyes turned cold, and he pressed her against the wall. ¡°Let me go!¡± ¡°You really hate Brynlee, don¡®t you?¡± Every word he said hurt her a lot, and Alexa¡®s eyes were filled with tears as she looked at him. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, I know you like Brynlee a lot, and you don¡®t need my allowance. It doesn¡®t matter if I hate her or not.¡± Alexa spoke each word in a low and broken voice. Terrence¡¯s expression froze, and he unconsciously loosened his hand. Alexa seized the opportunity and directly pushed him away. ¡°Go away!¡± Alexa cried. ¡°I don¡®t want to see you.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t want to see the?¡± Terrence¡®s anger, which had been extinguished, was once again ignited by Alexa. He couldn¡®t be rational anyrnare ¡°Then who do you want to see? Kietan?¡± ¡°What?¡± Alexa frowned,pletely not understanding what he was saying ¡°I have seen everything,¡± Terrence coldly smiled, ¡°What do you mean by that expression? Am I right?¡± Alexa was annoyed. She wondered, Terrence is clearly the one who cheated in puble, so why should he nder me? Alexa was so angry that her face became pale, and her lips trembled slightly. ¡°You can dance with Brynlee. Why can¡®t I talk to others?¡± Alexa growled, her eyes red. ¡°Terrence, what are you doing?¡± ¡°Good.¡± Terrence was clearly infuriated by her words. His expression had never been so dark and terrifying Although Alexa was afraid, she still refused to give in. ¡°I¡®ll tell you what I am doing.¡± ¡°What?¡± With her body suddenly losing weight, Alexa was so frightened that she eximed. Terrence was furious and threw her on the bed, and then he took the opportunity toe over. Alexa felt extreme pain in her body, and she gasped in pain. Terrence¡®s movements were extremely rough, and he did not notice Alexa¡®s abnormality at all. ¡°Terrence...¡± Alexa asked weakly. ¡°What are you doing? Are you betraying Brynlee?¡± In an instant, Terrence¡®s movements stopped. Feeling the pressure on her body disappear, Alexa looked at the other side of the bed with tearful eyes. Terrence quickly put on his clothes and left with a gloomy face, not looking at her again. Alexa copsed on the bed weakly, clutching her abdomen in pain and rolling to the ground with a bang. After enduring for ten minutes, Alexa felt the pain bing more intense. She began to rummage through her handbag in panic for the medicine but found nothing. Alexa suddenly realized something. The medicine was at the Duckdale Vi, Alexa did not know the way back at all, and at this time, she would definitely disturb others. Alexa picked up the phone helplessly. The only person she could contact was... He should be back, right? Alex began to convince herself in her heart In the past, they had argued so many times, but they had quickly reconciler Alexa hesitated for a while she was absent minded and identally pressed the button. The phone was connected, Alexa immediately threw her phone aside and hid in the romer, looking forward to the response from the other side of the line As long as Tertence answered the call, Alexa would definitely exin it properly and would no longer deliberately anger him Alexa bit her lips and had already thought of the words to apologize, ¡°Hello? Alexa.¡± Alexa heard a mature voice from a woman. Alexa¡®s expression froze and became deeply frustrated She was familiar with Brynlee¡®s voice. But... Why was it Brynlee? ¡°Brynlee,¡± Alexa asked tentatively, ¡°Is Terrence here?¡± Brynlee was about to answer when a hand suddenly reached over from the side and hung up the phone, throwing the phone away. Terrence¡®s face was gloomy, and the knuckles of his hand holding the steering wheel turned pale. ¡°It¡®s a call from Alexa,¡± Brynlee said deliberately. ¡°She should be worried about you.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Terrence sneered. ¡°How could I believe such a clumsy trick?¡± Brynlee looked helpless, but in her heart, she was very proud. It seemed that her worry was unnecessary, and no matter how Alexa tried, it was impossible for Terrence to fall in love with her. Alexa stared nkly at the phone screen, unable to speak for a long time. It seemed that he couldn¡®t wait to let Brynlee be his wife. Alexa endured the pain until dawn. Alexa took a taxi to the vi and got her medicine back. She quickly re¨Cmade a divorce agreement. She rushed to Terrence¡®spany. Terrence was on his way to the meeting when he heard the receptionist say that Alexa hade. His indifferent face immediately became cold. ¡°What is she doing here?¡± Hearing the displeasure in Terrence¡®s words, Edwin roughly understood what he meant. ¡°Mr. Ramsey...¡± ¡°Bring her up.¡± Edwin was shocked. ¡°Also, postpone the meeting.¡± After that, Terrence turned around and walked towards the office. Edwin looked surprised. He couldn¡®t believe what he heard. ¡°Yes.¡± Five minutester, Terrence saw a small crack appear in the door. Alexa wrapped herself rightly and quietly squeezed in from outside the door. She still didn¡®t know that Terrence had noticed her long ago, und his deep eyes saw her every move, Terrence originally wanted to argue with her about what happenedst night, but when he really saw her, all his anger instantly disappeared. Alexa obediently sat on the sofa at the side and looked at Terrence innocently. Her hands subconsciously grabbed the corner of his clothes. ¡°Are you busy?¡± Alexa spoke carefully. Terrence looked at the document in his hand and did not even look at her. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Alexa lowered her voice and said, ¡°Then you go ahead.¡± However, Terrence¡®s mind had always been on her, and he knew every slight move of Alexa. ¡°Why are you wearing so much today?¡± Terrence asked casually. ¡°Is it cold?¡± ¡°I caught a cold,¡± Alexa told a lie. ¡°That¡®s why I¡®m afraid of cold.¡± She could not tell Terrence that this was actually a side effect of the medicine. However, Alexa did not expect that Terrence would suddenly pay attention to her words. Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Passenger Seat Belongs to Mrs. Ramsey ¡°Why didn¡®t you tell me?¡± He asked with slight displeasure. Thinking about what happenedst night, Alexa could not help but feel wronged. ¡°I wanted to,¡± she said softly, ¡°but my phone was hung up.¡± Terrence was the one who hung up her call. ¡°It¡®s not a big problem.¡± Alexa had to continue her lies, ¡°I have already taken the medicine.¡± ¡°No.¡± Terrence said persistently, ¡°Every time you just make your condition more and more serious. I¡¯ll take you to the hospital.¡± Upon hearing the word ¡°hospital¡°, Alexa was shocked. Her face immediately turned pale. If she went to the hospital for a check-up, her secret would be exposed. ¡°No need!¡± Alexa hurriedly said. ¡°What¡®s up?¡± He frowned. ¡°Why not go to the hospital when you¡®re sick?¡± ¡°I just don¡®t want to.¡± Terrence smiled helplessly, got up, and walked to her. Alexa immediately grabbed his hand and ced it on her forehead. ¡°Look, I don¡¯t have a fever. I feel quite well.¡± But this was not enough to convince Terrence. He acted as if coaxing a child, his gaze bing gentle. ¡°There¡®s a new restaurant in the east of the city. I¡®ll take you there after seeing the doctor.¡± At this moment, he was apletely different person from who he wasst night. Alexa almost indulged in his tenderness. ¡°I don¡®t want to bother you.¡± ¡°Be good.¡± This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Terrence pinched her face. They suddenly became so intimate like real lovers. Alexa agreed, got up, and followed him to the garage, even forgetting the divorce agreement in her bag. Terrence helped her open the door like a gentleman. Alexa saw the exquisite gift box on the passenger seat at a nce. ¡°I¡®ll sit in the back seat.¡± Alexa¡¯s eyes dimmed and she consciously walked back. ¡°The passenger seat belongs to Mrs. Ramsey. What¡¯s more, this gift is for you,¡± Terrence said as he pulled her arm. ¡°Gift for me?¡± ¡°I thought it suited you and bought it.¡± Set Berlino He bought itst night. Although he was angry, when he saw it, he immediately guessed that Alexa would like it. He had someone bid it down and sent it to him in air delivery. At this time, Alexa expectantly opened the gift box. A delicately¨Cmade white Jade bracelet appeared in front of her like moonlight. Seeing the smile on her face, Terrence also became happy. ¡°You like it?¡± ¡°I so.¡± ¡°How are you going to thank me?¡± ¡°How much is it? I¡®ll transfer the money to you.¡± Terrence¡¯s smile froze. ¡°What do I need that money for?¡± ¡°Then...¡± Alexa looked at Terrence with a puzzled expression. Terrence tapped his thin lips with his finger. ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°What do you think?¡± ¡°Well...¡± Alexa¡¯s face flushed. Although they had been married for so long, Alexa would still be shy when facing Terrence. Terrence was very happy to see her expression. Alexa hesitated. He suddenly stretched out his arm and forcefully wrapped them around her waist. His sudden embrace scared her into immediately closing her eyes. Her wrist was grabbed, and soon she felt a cool touch. Alexa opened her eyes and saw the jade bracelet in her hand. ¡°Why were you nervous?¡± Terrence deliberately asked her. ¡°I ... I wasn¡®t.¡± Alexa stammered and tidied up her clothes lowering her head. She sat upright. Terrence drove quietly and soon received a call. Alexa heard the special ringtone and subconsciously looked out the window. Despite Terrence¡¯s brief words, he was worried in his tone. After hanging up the phone, he obviously sped up the driving speed. ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°Brynlee fainted and is now in the hospital.¡± Hearing this, Alexa did not know how to react for moment she blinked as she replied in a low voice ¡°then go and see her.¡± ¡°Go see the doctor first. I¡®lle back to you after checking on her.¡± Terrence paroled the cat at the entrance of the hospital and quickly opened the door to get off Would Terrence reallye back to her? Alexa suddenly became stubborn. She didn¡®t want to give in at all. Anyway, she was about to die. Why would she worry so much? ¡°I¡®ll go with you.¡± ¡°What? Alexa immediately followed him and held his arm tightly. ¡°Let¡®s go.¡± ¡°You really want to see her?¡± ¡°Am I not allowed? Or does Brynlee not want to see me?¡± Alexa asked innocently. Alexa seldom spoke to him in this tone. Terrence couldn¡®t bear to refuse her at all. ¡°Let¡®s go together.¡± She nodded happily and lowered her hat. A cold light shed in her eyes. She followed Terrence to Brynlee¡®s ward. Brynlee was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, looking extremely weak Terrencepletely ignored Alexa and quickly sat down beside Brynlee¡®s bed, affectionately holding her hand, Alexa stood still in her ce, her calm eyes fixed on Brynlee. The servants at the side of the bed ignored Alexa and did their best to earn Terrence¡®s sympathy ¡°Mr. Ramsey, the doctor said Ms. Walton passed out due to fatigue.¡± ¡°What happened?¡± Terrence¡®s eyes darkened, and his face immediately became extremely cold. Brynlee, who was on the bed, coughed a bit and whispered, ¡°Terrence...¡± ¡°I¡®m here. Brynlee, don¡®t be afraid.¡± Hearing his response, Brynlee immediately began to sob. Hearing his soft and gentle voice when he tried to soothe Brynlee, Alexa could no longer bear it and almost wanted to escape from here immediately. ¡°Alexa.¡± Alexa suddenly stopped. Turning around, she saw Brynlee fall into Terrence¡®s aun, Brynlee looked as if the could ckout af any rime ¡°Sorry. I¡®ve troubled you again,¡± Brynlee said pitifully Brynlee had an aggrieved expression as she cried sadly in Terrence¡®s arms. Alexa wasn¡¯t moved at all. Seeing that Alexa walked to the door, Brynlee desperately wanted Alexa to immediately disappear, ¡°Alexa, are you leaving?¡± Alexa was not stupid. She could hear that Brynlee wanted her to go away. But Terrence had promised Alexa to stay with her today. Alexa wouldn¡®t give in. ¡°I will wait for Terrence toe with me.¡± Brynlee¡®s face immediately sank. ¡°Terrence...¡± Brynlee clutched the corner of Terrence¡®s clothes tightly. ¡°Then go with Alexa. I¡®m fine.¡± Terrence didn¡®t answer her, and his indifferent gaze lingered on Alexa for a moment. ¡°Ms. Walton, you have fainted three times this month. The first two times, you asked us to hide it from Mr. Ramsey...¡± ¡°Daisy!¡± Brynlee immediately frowned and interrupted her, ¡°Please make two cups of coffee.¡± ¡°Yes, Ms. Walton.¡± ¡°Why didn¡®t you tell me that you¡®re not feeling well?¡± Terrence asked seriously. ¡°You¡®ve been so busytely. I don¡®t want you to worry. It¡®s not a big deal.¡± ¡°Promise me there won¡®t be the next time! Your things matter to me.¡± Alexa heard every word Terrence said clearly. Her smile froze. Terrence was really affectionate now. But as his wife, she couldn¡®t get a share of his affection. Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Chapter 6 He Just Pretends to Love You ¡°Are you hungry? What would you like to eat? I¡®ll get someone to bring food over.¡± Brynlee shook her head and acted like a spoiled child in his arms. ¡°I want to eat the porridge cooked by you.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Terrence pinched her face lovingly ¡°Wait for me, I¡®ll make it for you right now¡± He got up when he walked past Alexa, his gentle smile faded and was reced by a sense of alienation. ¡°Go see the doctor by yourself. I¡®ll ask Edwin to send you back.¡± ¡°It¡®s fine, ¡± Alexa said decisively, ¡°I will wait for you.¡± Since Alexa was so persistent, Brynlee¡®s eyes suddenly turned cold. Her hands hidden under the quilt tightly pinched the sheets ¡°Okay.¡± Terrence replied indifferently, pushed open the door, and left. Alexa found a seat in the corner and sat down. She lowered her head and stared at the jade bracelet on her wrist. ¡°Terrence is still the same.¡± Brynlee¡®s voice suddenly drifted into Alexa¡®s ears. Alexa looked up warily and saw that Brynlee was walking over. ¡°Alexa, help me persuade him. He¡®s busy withpany work. How can he spend so much time on me every day?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa was not interested in Brynlee and Terrence¡®s love story. She forced herself to put on an invulnerable appearance and responded indifferently. ¡°This bracelet...¡± Brynlee whispered in surprise, covering her mouth and chuckling. ¡°What?¡± Brynlee said, ¡°Nothing. It¡®s just a bit like the one Terrence bought for me a few days ago. I thought it looked somehow ancient and didn¡®t ept it.¡± Alexa blinked her eyes as she lowered her head without speaking. ¡°Alexa, I didn¡®t expect you to like such bracelets.¡± Brynlee pretended unaware and continued to ask, ¡°Where did you buy it? If I knew your liking, I would have given it to you.¡± ¡°Don¡®t bother, Brynlee,¡± Alexa politely said, ¡°When the person sending the gift is different, the meaning is different.¡± ¡°Oh...¡± Brynlee raised her voice and her tone became ambiguous. ¡°Did Terrence give it to you?¡± Brynlee did not say it directly, but Alexa felt that she had been pped, and her cheeks burned with pain. The cold jade bracelet on her hand was like a heavy shackle, depriving her of self¨Cesteem. Alexa thought, Terrence, I wonder what you were thinking. ¡°Alexa.¡± Brynlee said with ake smile, ¡°Sometimes, what you like is not necessarily suitable for you.¡± ¡°11 doesn¡®t matter, as long as I¡®m happy.¡± The atmosphere in the ward was extremely awkward. Alexa stood up and didn¡®t want to stay here for a moment. ¡°Alexa!¡± Brynlee suddenly grabbed her wrist. ¡°Do you know why I suddenly went abroad?¡± ¡°l¡®in not interested.¡± ¡°Why did Terrence agree to marry you? Did anyone tell you the truth?¡± Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. Alexa¡®s face was pale. She was on the verge of copse. ¡°Of course, you wouldn¡®t know.¡± Brynlee¡®s eyes were red, and her tone was full of unwillingness and ridicule ¡°He can only protect me by pretending to love you.¡± ¡°Stop joking.¡± Alexa forced herself to answer, and that familiar pain seemed to flood back again. ¡°You think I am joking?¡± Brynlee sneered, ¡°You simply wouldn¡®t understand how difficult it has been for me and Terrence to love each other. Now, I just want to take back what I deserve.¡± ¡°It¡®s meaningless for you to tell me this.¡± ¡°Why are you still staying by his side? You should have left the Ramsey¡®s home long ago!¡± Brynlee was extremely agitated. Alexa¡®s patience had beenpletely exhausted. She suddenly broke free of Brynlee¡®s grip ¡°Ah!¡± With a scream, Brynlee fell backward uncontrobly. Alexa subconsciously wanted to help her, but she was caught off guard and pulled to the side by someone holding her wrist. She hit her head against the wall, and it took a full minute for her to recover from the pain. Terrence had carried Brynlee back to the bed and called for the doctor nervously. Alexa looked up and met his gaze. It was cold and deep. ¡°Wait for me outside.¡± Terrence ordered impatiently. Alexa¡®s heart twitched. She pushed the door open and left with sore eyes. The corridor of the hospital was empty. Alexa sat on the cold seat. Her thin body was vulnerable to coldness. After waiting for nearly an hour, Terrence finally came out of the ward. ¡°Is she alright?¡± ¡°Brynlee will be discharged tomorrow. Come with me to the Walton¡®s home to apologize.¡± What? Alexa looked up in surprise and was stunned for a long time. Terrence didn¡®t even listen to her exnation before believing that it was her fault. ¡°Brynlee is a patient now. Don¡®t irritate her again.¡± ¡°Who isn¡®t?¡± Alexa whispered. Alexa had always been obedient in front of him. Terrence had never expected that she would talk back to him. His imposing aura immediately added a bit of chill. ¡°You just caught a cold. Brynlee¡®s condition is much more serious than yours.¡± Hearing him say this, Alexa imperceptibly pursed her lips. ¡°I understand.¡± Alexa¡®s indifferent attitude made Terrence feel as if she didn¡®t care about her anger. He had a sore throat out of anger. ¡°I still have things to do. I¡®ll go back first.¡± Terrence did not speak and allowed her to leave the hospital alone. After a while, Edwin brought a document and carefully approached him. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, this is the document that Mrs. Ramsey asked me to give you.¡± Sweeping a cold nce over the cover, Terrence inexplicably recalled how Alexa appeared in front of Kieran that night. Thest time Alexa said she would divorce him after half a year, but today she went back on his word. Did she decide on her next husband? The anger in Terrence¡®s heart immediately surged. He tore the document into pieces with a gloomy face. ¡°Where is she?¡± Alexa went back to the Duckdale Vi and hid in the room without eating dinner. Mina and Brady were pacing back and forth in worry at the door. They did not expect Terrence toe tonight as well. As soon as Terrence entered the door, everyone shut up. The servants immediately held their breath and stood to the side with rapt attention, nervously guessing his intentions. ¡°Where is Alexa?¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, Mrs. Ramsey is resting in her room.¡± Mina said, ¡°We called her several times, but...¡± Terrence frowned slightly. For the first time, he felt that Alexa was such a headache. ¡°Give me the spare key. I¡®ll call her personally.¡± He opened the door with a face filled with displeasure. The room was so dark and quiet that not even a trace of a human being could be detected. ¡°Alexa?¡± Terrence lowered his voice and approached the bed. Seeing the petite figure quietly sleeping, he felt a lot more at ease. But after turning on the bedsidemp, he noticed Alexa¡®s abnormality. She curled up in the thick quilt. That was why her moving couldn¡®t be noticed. At that moment, her face was pale and covered by cold sweat. Her hair was soaked. Terrence reached out and touched her forehead. Alexa¡®s temperature was extremely higher than normal. ¡°Alexa?¡± Terrence called out her name a few times, but she did not respond. ¡°Let¡®s go to the hospital now.¡± Terrence was about to change her clothes when his sleeve was suddenly firmly grasped. Alexa opened her misty eyes slightly. ¡°No...¡± Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Chapter 7 A Pumpkin With No Power or Influence ¡°Be good, OK?¡± Terrence said softly, ¡°I¡®ll stay with you.¡± But Alexa was still very resistant and even cried, ¡°I¡®m not going!¡± ¡°Alright Alright OK. I won¡®t let you go. Don¡®t cry. OK?¡± Terrencepromised. Except for Brynlee, Terrence had never taken care of others so meticulously. Therefore, Terrence seemed to be at a loss and didn¡®t know what to do now. But Alexa justy quietly on the bed. Now she was like a cal that had put away its sharp paws. ¡°I¡®ll get you some medicine.¡± ¡°Why did youe back...¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Alexa asked weakly, ¡°Are you here to ask me to apologize to her?¡± ¡°Do you think I¡®m a person who takes advantage of another¡®s perilous state like that?¡± ¡°Then why didn¡®t you listen to my exnation?¡± Hearing this, Terrence suddenly didn¡®t know how to reply. After a while, Terrence said, ¡°I¡®ll get the medicine first.¡± After Terrence walked out of the room and closed the door, the glimmer of light in Alexa¡®s eyes instantly disappeared. Later, Mina came in with the medicine. Alexa did not ask anything because she thought she had already understood something. But Mina looked very happy. Mina said, ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, Mr. Ramsey is cooking porridge for you in the kitchen.¡± ¡°What?¡± Alexa was very surprised. ¡°He didn¡®t leave?¡± ¡°Of course not. Mr. Ramsey has always cared about you,¡± Mina said with a smile. Alexa suddenly felt a stream of warmth flowing through her body, and she was touched. Not long after, Terrence came in with the freshly cooked porridge. Mina got out of the room with a knowing smile. Alexa sat on the bed and watched Terrence slowly approach, and her heart beat faster ¡°You...¡± Alexa wanted to say something. But Terrence interrupted and asked, ¡°Have you taken the medicine?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Then have some more porridge.¡± Terrence naturally sat down next to Alexa¡®s bed, scooped a spoonful of hot porridge, and blew on it gently. Then, he raised liis hand and brought the spoon of porridge to Alexa¡®s mouth. But Alexa did not open her mouth ¡°What¡®s wrong?¡± Terrence asked. Alexa lowered her eyes to look at the bowl of red bean porridge expressionlessly. Alexa said, ¡°I¡®m allergic to red beans.¡± Right after hearing Alexa¡®s words, Terrence silently withdrew his hand, Terrence said apologetically, ¡°I should have asked you first.¡± ¡°It¡®s fine,¡± Alexa said in a low voice. ¡°I am not hungry. But still, thank you.¡± Alexa was not surprised to see this scene, So. Alexa did not feel much disappointed in her heart now. Alexa and Terrence had been married for two years. But Terrence forgot these details about Alexa in less than two days. Terrence came with a bowl of red bean porridge that imed to be cooked by him. It was hard for Alexa not to suspect that Terrence did all this because someone else asked him to do so. ¡°If she sent you here...¡± ¡°She? Do you mean Brynlee? Why do you think so?¡± Terrence asked suspiciously. At this moment, Alexa felt that Terrence was really good at acting. Terrence still wanted to pretend and hide everything from her. ¡°Did Edwin give you the divorce agreement?¡± ¡°He did.¡± ¡°Then...¡± ¡°I destroyed it,¡± Terrence said calmly. Alexa was shocked. She did not expect Terrence¡®s attitude to be so bad. ¡°Since we¡®ve agreed to divorce in half a year, we¡®d better not change the contents. It¡®s troublesome.¡± Speaking of this topic, Terrence felt very ufortable in his heart. Now, Terrence suddenly felt that Alexa seemed to want to leave him eagerly, Alexa still wanted to say something, but she suddenly found that Terrence was standing by the bed taking off his clothes. Alexa asked, ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, don¡®t forget that we are still a couple now.¡± Terrence bent over, and the corners of his mouth raised and formed a casual smile. Alexa seemed to be frightened, and she hid in the quilt with a guarded face.. But Alexa couldn¡®t avoid Terrence, could she? Terrence raised his hand and easily grabbed Alexa¡¯s chin. Chapter 7 A Bumpkin With No Power or Influence Regardless of Alexa¡®s will, Terrence instantly closed the distance between them. Terrence said in a low and hoarse volce, ¡°What if I want you to fulfill your duties as my wife now? Do you think you can escape?¡± Alexa almost could not believe that Terrence, who had always been cold and noble, would achially say such words! What was wrong with Tertence? Terrence asked, ¡°Why is your face so flushed? Your fever lvasn¡®t subsided yet?¡± While Terrence was speaking, Alexa immediately broke free of his restraints and wrapped herself rightly. ¡°I¡®m going to sleep. Get out of here,¡± Alexa said. Terrence did not listen to Alexa. Instead, be lifted a corner of the quilt andy down beside Alexa This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Terrence!¡± Alexa immediately sat up in shock ¡°I¡®m here.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Alexa was speechless for a moment and didn¡®t know what to do all of a sudden. She said to Terrence, ¡°If you want to sleep, you can go to the master bedroom.¡± ¡°Fine. But you have to go with me.¡± ¡°No. We can¡¯t sleep together.¡± ¡°Why? What if I insist?¡± Terrence asked with a smile. Alexa grabbed the corner of the quilt tightly. Even though Alexa was shy and anxious now, she did not want to use Brynlee to drive Terrence away. Alexa just didn¡®t want to do that. Terrence and Alexa both didn¡®t mention Brynlee at this moment. Suddenly, Terrence said, ¡°Mina must be telling what happened tonight to my mom now.¡± Terrence leisurely bent his arins to support his body and looked at Alexa with a faint smile. ¡°If I dare to leave this ce even half a step, we will all be in trouble tomorrow.¡± Terrence said so sincerely, which sessfully convinced Alexa. Alexa carefullyid back down and gently turned her back to Terrence. But not long after, an abrupt ringtone broke the silence of the room. Alexa kept her eyes closed, pretending not to hear the movement behind her. It was only a few minutes from the time ¡®Terrence picked up the phone to the time he left. Alexa thought Terrence was not reluctant to part with her at all. Terrence didn¡®t even care if his parents would find trouble with him. Cantori 1. ni. Alexa stayed awake until dawn. Suddenly, Rebekah¡¯s call came. Alexa had already thought of an excuse for Terrence in her heart, but... Rebekah said, ¡°Alexa, get ready. I will take you to the Walton¡®s ce in ten minutes.¡± Alexa still had to go to meet the Walton family. Alexa was disappointed. But since it was requested by her mother¨Cinw, Alexa could not refuse. After changing into a decent outfit, Alexa was waiting at the door for Rebekah toe. Not long after, a Rolls¨CRoyce slowly stopped in front of Alexa, Alexa immediately stepped forward. She greeted politely, ¡°Mom.¡± ¡°Alexa. Get in the car,¡± Rebekah said warmly. Alexa sat properly by Rebekah¡®s side in the car, concealing all the emotions that should not be shown at this moment, ¡°Mom, I¡®m sorry. Sorry to trouble you,¡± Alexa said guiltily. ¡°I didn¡®t want to interfere in your matters.¡± Rebekah sat upright and said so with an invisible sense of nobility in her tone. ¡°But my son is really useless. I¡¯m really disappointed.¡± ¡°Mom, it¡®s my fault...¡± ¡°Alexa.¡± Rebekah interrupted Alexa, and her tone became a little serious. ¡°Do you know why I will take you to the Walton¡®s ce today?¡± ¡°I know,¡± Alexa whispered. Rebekah raised the corners of her lips and nodded gracefully. ¡°You will be the female head of the Ramsey family. You will have to take care of everything inside and outside of the family. You have to be confident.¡± ¡°Mom...¡± Rebekah patted the back of Alexa¡¯s hand, and her gaze became meaningful. The Walton family had long known that Rebekah woulde with Alexa today, so they started to prepare early this morning. Brynlee dressed herself up, feeling very proud of herself. In Brynlee¡¯s heart, Alexa was just a bumpkin with no power or influence. How could the Ramsey family go against the Walton family because of Alexa? Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Is Brynlee not ready yet? ¡°Ms. Walton, Mrs. Ramsey and Alexa have arrived.¡± Brynilee nced at the door and put on the jewelry unhurriedly. ¡°Let them wait.¡± In the living room downstairs, Alexa sat beside Rebekah upright and gracefully. There was no trace of fright on her face at all. Obviously, Rebekah¡®s exhortation worked. After all, Rebekah had been the female head of the Ramsey family for many years, and her every move revealed absolute authority. Emely Walton was sitting opposite Rebekah, and hier momentum weakened a lot. Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. ¡°Is Brynlee not ready yet?¡± Rebekah smiled and asked. ¡°Brynlee is weak. In addition, she was pushed down by Alexa and got injured in the hospital yesterday. I hope you can understand her difficulties.¡± As Emely spoke, she red at Alexa. If Rebekah were not present, Emely would definitely teach Alexa a good lesson! After a long time, Brynlee finally showed up. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey. Alexa. Sorry to keep you waiting,¡± Rebekah said weakly. When Rebekah saw Brynlee¡®s dress, her eyes were full of ridicule. ¡°I heard that you are here to apologize?¡± Brynlee¡¯s sharp eyes stopped on Alexa. ¡°Brynlee,e over here.¡± Emely took Brynlee¡®s hand and deliberately removed the bracelet, revealing the bruise on Brynlee¡®s wrist. ¡°Terrence personally helped you apply for medicinest night. Why is it still not cured?¡± Emely said deliberately. Alexa could not help but nce at Brynlee. No wonder Terrence left in a hurry after answering the phonest night. ¡°Alexa, even if you dislike Brynlee, you shouldn¡®t beat her.¡± Emely pointed at Alexa and said so with a mean face. Emely added, ¡°If you don¡®t apologize to us today, I believe that Terrence will never forgive you.¡± Hearing this, Alexa was about to get up, but Rebekah suddenly stretched out and held her hand firmly. Rebekah sneered, ¡°Mrs. Walton, it seems that you think it is a very glorious thing to be a home wrecker.¡± ¡°What?¡± Emely¡¯s expression froze. Rebekah said, ¡°I came here with Alexa to hear Ms. Walton¡¯s apology.¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey...¡± Brynlee chuckled twice awkwardly. ¡°Are you mistaken? I was the one who got injured yesterday.¡± ¡°You know clearly how you got injured. Alexa disdains using such a despicable method to deal with you,¡± Rebekah said forcefully ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, please don¡¯t say that.¡± Emely¡®s face turned gloomy ¡°Ti was Alexa who pushed Brynler yesterday. Terrence can also testify.¡± Rebekah shorted and said, ¡°Don¡®t think that everything will be fine just because you have let Terrence get involverl. He is not the head of the Ramsey family yet.¡± Seeing this scene, Alexa was stunned, she had never expected that Rebekah would personally bring her here to help vent her anger. Rebekah continued, ¡°Who was the one who seduced a married man? Who was the one who scherned against Terrence¡®s wife? Brynlee, how dirty is your heart under your skin?¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, how can you say that? Terrence and I ... have already been in love for many years.¡± Brynlee began to cry with grievance. ¡°I¡®ve already given you the chance to apologize, but you didn¡®t grasp it,¡± Rebekah sneered. ¡°I will be happy to tell the media what kind of daughter the Walton family has raised.¡± ¡°Mom.¡± At this time, a calm male voice came from the door. Alexa turned her head and was surprised. It was Terrence who suddenly appeared at the door. Terrence was slowly approaching with a calm face and a domineering and cold aura. ¡°Terrence! Terrence, you have to help Brynlee!¡± Emely immediately grabbed Terrence¡®s arm as if she was holding onto a life¨Csaving straw. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Terrence stood by Brynlee¡®s side, looking at Alexa with his cold eyes. ¡°Terrence, have I warned you to cut off all ties with this woman?¡± Rebekah asked with disappointment in her tone. But Terrence just said, ¡°Let¡®s talk about it when we get home, Don¡®t make trouble here.¡± ¡°Terrence, I¡®m sorry. It¡®s my fault...¡± Brynlee sobbed. Half of Brynlee¡®s body was hiding behind Terrence. She looked like she had been greatly wronged. ¡°Of course, it¡®s your fault!¡± Rebekah snapped. ¡°It looks like you still have some self¨Cawareness.¡± But Terrence did not respond to Rebekah. Instead, he looked at Alexa. ¡°Have you apologized to Brynlee?¡± ¡°1...¡± Hearing Terrence¡¯s words, Alexa suddenly looked up at him. At this moment, Alexa felt like her heart had been stabbed by some sharp instrument, and it hurt so much. ¡°Apologize to Brynlee now,¡± Terrence said to Alexa. ¡°I think you are out of your mind.¡± Rebekah red at Terrence fiercely and pulled Alexa¡¯s hand. ¡°Alexa. Let¡¯s go.¡± Alexa suddenly made a sound and said, ¡°Mom.¡± Alexa¡¯s voice wasn¡®t loud, but it revealed a trace of determination. Rebekah understood what Alexa meant and let go of her hand, allowing Alexa to handle the situation ¡°I¡®m sorry for what I did in the hospital yesterday, I apologize to you,¡± Alexa sald word by word Emely snorted, and her eyes were filled with pride. Terrence¡®s face was tense, and he stared at Alexa with a gloomy face. Even it unyielding was apologizing to someone, she still looked unyielding. Terrence saw this scene and felt slightly displeased. ¡°It¡®s OK. I forgive you,¡± Brynlee said weakly. Alexa lightly curved her lips, and her eyes were cold. Alexa thought she wouldn¡®t live for long anyway. So why should she be so humble in front of others? ¡°But...¡°Alexa lowered her voice and slowly moved toward Brynlee. Terrence was very guarded against Alexa. But he had never expected that Alexa would directly push Brynlee away! ¡°Ah!¡°Brynlee cried out in shock, and her entire body fell onto the sofa beside her. ¡°Alexa!¡°Terrence roared in a low voice, and his expression changed greatly because of anger. ¡°Before we officially divorce, she is no doubt a home wrecker. She has no right to unt in front of me!¡°Alexa quietly stood in front of Terrence and spoke in a firm tone. Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Rebekah raised the corners of her mouth with satisfaction. Before Terrence could do anything, Rebekah immediately stepped forward and sheltered Alexa behind her. ¡°This is what Mrs. Rainsey should be like,¡± Rebekah said with a smile. Alexa blinked as she recalled the shocking words she had just said As expected, Terrence¡®s expression at this moment was very terrifying it looked like he wanted to tear Alexa alive. ¡°Well Mrs. Ramsey is really amazing.¡± Terience said coldly. Alexa pursed her thin lips and didn¡®t say anything Even though Alexa had already shown her displeasure, Terrence still chose to help Brynlee. It was indeed not surprising to Alexa. Alexa kept silent at this moment. Rebekah looked at Terrence casually and then left with Alexa, After getting into the car, Alexa seemed to have fallen into an icehouse, and her face instantly turned pale. Seeing Alexa¡®s pale face, Rebekah quickly guessed what Alexa was thinking. ¡°Alexa, you did well.¡± Rebekah patted the back of Alexa¡®s hand. ¡°As for Terrence, you don¡®t have to mind what he said and did today.¡± ¡°He must hate or even detest me.¡± ¡°I¡®m his biological mother, and I know him well,¡± Rebekah said confidently. ¡°One day, he will understand how good you are.¡± ¡°Mom, why...¡± Alexa¡®s mind was in turmoil. ¡°Why does it have to be me? The person he loves is Brynlee, and the Walton family also has the capital to match the Ramsey family.¡± ¡°No. Alexa, you must not think that way.¡± ¡°Why?¡± ¡°Terrence¡®s grandfather and grandmother personally chose you as the Ramsey family¡®s granddaughter¨Cinw. Naturally, they have their intentions, and I believe them. They didn¡®t misjudge you.¡± Alexa clenched her fists. The questions in her heart still had not been answered. Alexa thought everything was like a dream. When the disaster fell on the Duran family, Terrence came to Alexa and helped her. This was also why Alexa could put down all her dignity to love Terrence. Terrence saved Alexa and brought her a new life. But now, Alexa knew that everything Terrence had done for her was forced by others. ¡°Alright, Alexa.¡± Rebekah held Alexa¡®s hand gently. ¡°What you need to do now is to improve yourself as soon as possible.¡± ¡°Thank you, Mom. I got it.¡± Then Rebekah said, ¡°Tonight, the Powell family will hold a party. You and Terrence will go together.¡± Alexa widened her eyes in surprise and waspletely stunned, Rebekah said, ¡°Don¡®t be afraid, with me supporting you, he won¡®t dare to make things difficult for you.¡± ¡°As for those who should not appear, I will handle them for you.¡± Although Rebekah was an elegant woman, her means were definitely not gentle Rebekah snorted in her heart, how dare the Walton family want to ruin my son and daughter¨Cinw¡®s marriage Well. They will never seed! Alexa returned home and nervously paced back and forth in the room, not knowing how to face Terrence After thinking for a while, Alexa decided to call Terrence. But this time, no one answered the phone. Alexa threw away her phone and sat on the bed very frustrated. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey.¡± Mina knocked on the door and said, ¡°Your dress has arrived.¡± Suddenly, Alexa thought of Edwin! Alexa thought maybe she could contact Terrence through Edwin. Alexa immediately pushed the door open and went out. But then, she saw some strangers in the living room. ¡°Hello, Mrs. Ramsey. We are the styling team invited by Ms. Bernard.¡± ¡°Oh... Okay.¡± Apparently, Alexa was a little disappointed right now. She felt a little ufortable in her heart. Terrence did not care about this at all. Alexa guessed it correctly. Terrence did not show up even after Alexa had gotten into the car. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, should we wait for Mr. Ramsey?¡± the driver asked tentatively. But Alexa thought Terrence was probably still with Brynlee now. Alexa said coldly, ¡°No need.¡± The party was held by the second young daughter of the Powell family, ra Powell, who was 20 years old. It was a birthday party, and it invited almost all the famous and noble big shots in New York. As the head of the rich and powerful families in New York, the Ramsey family was the center of attention no matter where they were. But when Alexa entered the party venue, she was low¨Ckey and silently walked to a corner where no one noticed. Alexa was really tired today and had no mood to interact with others. But soon, someone came to break the peace. ¡°Why are you here? Don¡®t you even feel ashamed?¡± A harsh female voice sounded. Alexa looked over and saw several young women approaching her with unfriendly expressions. ¡°Aren¡®t you the daughter of the Duran family? Do you really deserve to attend the Powell family¡®s party?¡± the woman on the left said disdainfully. ¡°s, she is now Mrs. Ramscy.¡± The woman on the right said so with sarcasm in her tone ¡°What Mrs. Ramsey?¡± Maggie Taylor sized Alexa up with a mocking gaze. ¡°My cousin is the one who was admitted by Mr. Ramsey to be his wife.¡± Cousin Alexa repeated in her heart But she quickly reacted. ¡°You¡®re Brynlee¡®s cousin?¡± ¡°You¡®re not qualified to mention my cousin¡®s name!¡± Maggie became more and more arrogant. She shouted at Alexa, ¡°Hurry up and get out before I get Ms. Powell to drive you out.¡± ¡°Oh? Then go ahead,¡± Alexa said calmly. ¡°You!¡± Unexpectedly, Alexa was not frightened at all. Seeing this, Maggie was so angry. Harriet Cochran, who was beside Maggie, saw this and directly sshed the red wine in the ss on Alexa¡®s skirt. Alexa didn¡®t react in time and failed to dodge it. Then, her waist was instantly dyed with dark red liquid. Maggie and the other two women sneered, and Maggie was even morecent. ¡°I think you should leave quickly,¡± Maggie said arrogantly. ¡°A woman like you will only disgrace the Ramsey family.¡± ¡°What are you doing?¡± Suddenly, a bright female voice came from behind them. Alexa looked up. But she first saw a cold and handsome face. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. It was Kieran! Kieran also noticed Alexa¡®s situation, but he just quietly curved his lips and stood aside elegantly with a ss of wine in his hand. He gave others a feeling that he didn¡®t know Alexa. ¡°Ms. Powell, Mr. Powell, why are you here?¡± Maggie asked in a sweet voice. ¡°Did you hear my question? What are you doing?¡± ra repeated her question unhappily, obviously not intending to let this matter go so easily. What ra hated the most in her life were some viins who used their power to bully others. Moreover, this was her 20¨Cyear¨Cold birthday party! ¡°Ms. Powell, she identally knocked over the ss. We just reminded her of a few words.¡± Hearing this, Kieran nced at Alexa. Alexa was not in a sorry state as Kieran had imagined. Even though Alexa was facing such an embarrassing situation, she still did not show any trace of anxiety or panic. Instead, Alexa stood at the side, indifferently and patiently listening to Maggie¡®s ¡°exnation¡°. ¡°Is that so?¡± ra sneered, ¡°Do you think I am blind or stupid?¡± ¡°Ms Powell¡­¡± Maggie and her two friends were so frightened that their faces turned pale They suddenly didn¡®t know what to do or say in front of ra. ra said, ¡°I don¡®t care how you get in here. Get out now, or I will ask the security guards to throw you out.¡± Peing driven out in such a high end banquet in front of so many people was a very humiliating thing. After tonight, Maggie would no longer be able to stay in the upper ss circle of New York It was not easy for Maggie to get into this rtionship with Brynlee. But now she thought it was all ruined by Alexa! Maggie cursed in her heart, that bitch! Maggie gritted her teeth angrily, and her face was full of rage. ¡°Did you not understand what ra said?¡± kieran¡®s voice was gentle, but his smiling eyes gradually turned dark. Maggie and the other two didn¡®t dare to say anything more and could only leave in embarrassment. ¡°Kieran. I still have to greet my friend. I¡®ll leave this youngdy to you!¡± ra smiled and patted Kieran¡®s shoulder meaningfully. Looking at ra¡®s back, Kieran shook his head helplessly and sighed softly. Kieran exined to Alexa, ¡°I¡®m sorry. ra misunderstood something.¡± ¡°It¡®s fine.¡± Alexa raised her head slightly. ¡°Thank you for helping me out. I¡®m fine.¡± ¡°You don¡®t seem to be fine.¡± Hearing this, Alexa followed Kieran¡®s gaze and lowered her head to look at herself. Alexa saw the wine stain on her dress. It looked a little embarrassing. Kieran said, ¡°There¡®s a break room upstairs. I¡®ll take you there.¡± Strictly speaking, Kieran was just a stranger who had only met Alexa twice. But at this moment, Alexa chose to believe Kieran and subconsciously followed him. After reaching the door, Kieran asked the waiter to give Alexa a room card. ¡°There are some spare dresses in the wardrobe. If you don¡®t mind, you can take whichever you like. Excuse me. I have to leave now.¡± ¡°Thank you, Mr. Powell.¡± Alexa never expected that a stranger would be willing to help her to this point, but Terrence... Realizing that her thoughts were gradually getting messy, Alexa quickly stopped thinking. After entering the room, Alexa quickly picked a low¨Ckey dress, simply fixed her makeup, and returned to the hall. Alexa searched the crowd very seriously. After seeing Kieran, she changed into a grateful smile and quickly walked towards him. Alexa did not notice a figure not far away. Terrence was standing there with a terrifying expression. Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Change Into It Now When Alexa was still several feet away from Kieran, Terrence went up and stood in front of Alexa!Alexa¡¯s wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone. Alexa raised her head and suddenly met Terrence¡¯s cold and malicious gaze. ¡°You¡­¡± Seeing Alexa¡¯s surprised look, Terrence was so angry that he chuckled and pulled Alexa to the back garden without saying anything. Get Bon Alexa struggled but failed to break free. After Terrence threw Alexa¡¯s wrist away without pity, Alexa¡¯s wrist was alreadypletely red. ¡°Terrence, what are you doing?¡± ¡°What am I doing?¡± Terrence tried his best to suppress his anger. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you exin to me what you¡¯re doing?¡± ¡°Mom asked me toe to the party.¡± ¡°If I remember correctly, she wants us toe together, right?¡± Terrence said coldly. ¡°Looks like I shouldn¡¯t havee here and disturbed Mrs. Ramsey and Mr. Powell.¡± But Alexa thought it was Terrence who did not want toe together. Why was he mocking her now? Alexa felt very aggrieved in her heart. But she still kept a calm face. ¡°I¡¯ve already caught you twice. What else do you have to say? Hmm?¡± ¡°What did you catch?¡± Alexa was puzzled and did not understand what Terrence was talking about. Terrence sized Alexa up with his deep eyes, and the anger in his eyes became more and more obvious. ¡°If my memory serves me right, this dress is not the one I prepared for you, right?¡± Hearing this, Alexa was surprised. Alexa had never thought that it was Terrence who had asked others to prepare that dress for her. Alexa looked at Terrence in disbelief,pletely unable to believe that Terrence would still care about her after she made things difficult for Brynlee. However, in Terrence¡¯s eyes, Alexa¡¯s expression right now was full of guilt. ¡°Speak to me,¡± Terrence said with a little anger in his tone. The atmosphere between the two gradually became tense. Alexa kept silent, and the expression on Terrence¡¯s face became increasingly cold and oppressive. At this time, there was a slight sound at the side of the road. Alexa and Terrence looked over at the same time, and Kieran was also stunned. ¡°What a coincidence.¡± Soon, Terrence reacted and revealed a warm smile. ¡°I came out to have some fresh air. Please continue.¡± This scene was very strange and awkward. Alexa nced at Terrence nervously. Terrence had indeed held a very aggressive attitude towards Kieran. Chapter 10 Change Into It Now Get Born Mr. Powell.¡± Alexa withstood the pressure and was the first to speak. Terrence nced at Alexa with a gloomy face. ¡°Yeah?¡± Kieran replied. ¡°Thank you for letting me change into this dress,¡± Alexa said to Kieran sincerely. ¡°I will transfer you the money for this dresster.¡± Alexa¡¯s exnation didn¡¯t make Terrence feel better. Instead, his expression became colder and colder as Alexa spoke. Kieran sensed Terrence¡¯s change, but he only smiled and did not care about what Terrence was thinking. ¡°It¡¯s nothing,¡± Kieran said in a gentlemanly manner. ¡°I¡¯?n d that I¡¯ve helped you.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll treat you to a mealter if you have the time,¡± Alexa said with a smile politely. When Terrence heard this, all his rationality evaporated in an instant. Terrence wondered, does Alexa still remember that I¡®m here? ¡°Mr. Powell!¡± Terrence said slowly. The smile on Alexa¡¯s face froze when she heard Terrence¡¯s voice. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. Alexa had a sinking feeling right now! Would Terrence do something horrible to Kieran? Alexa nervously clenched her hands and watched Terrence walk towards Kieran. Suddenly, Alexa said, ¡°Hubby¡­¡± Terrence suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked at Alexa, who made this charming sound. Alexa braced herself and held onto Terrence¡¯s arm, trying her best to squeeze out a hint of coquetry. ¡°It¡¯s cold outside. Let¡¯s go in.¡± Terrence¡¯s thin lips were tightly closed. Alexa met his deep gaze, and ayer of cold sweat had already exuded on her palm. Alexa clearly knew that her action was challenging Terrence¡¯s bottom line. But¡­ ¡°Alright.¡± Terrence¡¯s reply surprised Alexa. ¡°Mr. Powell, we¡¯ll be leaving first¡­¡± Before Alexa finished speaking, Terrence suddenly exerted force and pulled her closer. Alexa red at Terrence coquettishly, but Terrence didn¡¯t even look at her. Then, Terrence took Alexa back to the car. The space in the car was not spacious at all, and the distance between Alexa and Terrence was very close. Alexa could even smell the cold scent of Terrence¡¯s body, and her heart beat faster and faster. Chapter 10 Change Into It Now Terrence took out a new dress and threw it to Alexa with a face full of displeasure, but Alexa did not understand what he meant. ¡°I¡¯ll wear this next time.¡± ¡°Change into it now.¡± ¡°What¡­¡± Alexa did not understand why Terrence was so unreasonable. Terrence had no love for Alexa at all, but he could pretend to be possessive and force Alexa to love him with all her heart Alexa thought Terrence was really a cold creature. No matter what Alexa did, she wouldn¡¯t make Terrence have any feelings for her. Terrence saw that Alexa was not willing to move, and his expression became colder, ¡°You can¡¯t wear the dress he gave you but not the one I gave you?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant,¡± Alexa exined and felt a little exhausted in her heart, ¡°Is he your second husband now?¡± Terrence sneered. ¡°How can you say that?¡± Terrence snorted coldly, and his meaning was obvious. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you don¡¯t think so.¡± Every time Terrence talked about simr topics, he would feel very annoyed. The atmosphere froze. Suddenly, the familiar ringtone sounded again. Alexa put her hand on her chest and heaved a sigh of relief. Alexa thought if nothing unexpected happened, Terrence would immediately abandon her and rush to Brynlee¡¯s side. ¡°Be good at home,¡± Terrence said coolly. ¡°You are not allowed to make friends with those guys.¡± ¡°What about you?¡± ¡°I still have something to do.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± Alexa asked stubbornly. Terrence frowned slightly and seemed to be displeased. ¡°I let go of what happened in the Walton¡¯s house today.¡± ¡°So?¡± Alexa felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife right now. ¡°Are you threatening me?¡± Terrence pulled his tie. He said in a cold voice, ¡°I¡¯ll ask the driver to send you home.¡± Alexa did not say anything more. Instead, she quickly pushed the door open and got out of the car. Terrence looked at Alexa¡¯s figure outside the window and became irritated again. Perhaps it was because of Alexa¡¯s behavior of challenging Terrence¡¯s authority repeatedly in the past few days. Terrence had never turned his head back for Alexa. Terrence pinched his eyebrows and let the driver drive to Brynlee¡¯s vi. Alexa heard the sound of the engine behind her. She turned her head slightly and saw the ck Maybach passing by her. ¡°Ms. Duran.¡± Alexa walked absent-mindedly for a moment. Suddenly, a Maserati passed by her in a high-profile manner, slowly stopping not far away. ¡°Ms. Powell.¡± 1 Alexa looked in the direction of the sound, only to see the window slowly draw down, and the person in the car waved at her very enthusiastically. ¡°Where are you going? I can give you a ride.¡± Get Bon ¡°No need, Ms. Powell. My car is not far in front.¡± ¡°Ms. Duran! Ms. Duran!¡± After Alexa finished speaking, a wave of dizziness struck her. Alexa¡¯s sight suddenly became blurry. She held her head and unconsciously staggered a few steps before finally falling onto the ground heavily. Chapter 11 Chapter 11 Chapter 11 What the Hell Is Wrong With You? When Alexa woke up again, she first smelled a pungent smell of disinfectant. Alexa¡®s whole body was in great pain. Alexa closed her eyes and kept silent to adapt to this feeling. Then, she slowly opened her eyes Alexa¡®s condition was getting more serious, ¡°Ms. Duran, you¡®re finally awake.¡± A kind¨Clooking middle¨Caged woman was guarding Alexa¡®s bedside Except for the pain in her body, everything around Alexa was very strange to her ¡°I¡®m Amelia Bonner, a servant of the Powell family. You can call me Amelia,¡± Amelia said softly. ¡°You fainted. It was Mr. Powell and Ms. Powell who sent you to the hospital.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Just as Alexa finished speaking, someone pushed the door open and entered. ra and Kieran entered the room one after another. Alexa forced herself to put on a smile. Alexa said, ¡°Thank you for sending me to the hospital. Sorry for causing trouble for you two. I¡®m very sorry.¡± ¡°You need to lie down and rest.¡± ra stepped forward with concern and helped Alexa lie down. Then, ra said, ¡°We have already informed Terrence.¡± What? Alexa was first stunned after she heard ra¡®s words! Then, she panicked. Alexa wondered if they had told Terrence about her illness. ¡°The doctor hasn¡®t said anything yet, but Mrs. Ramsey should be here soon.¡± Kieran said so casually. This should not be bad news. Alexa heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. ¡°Ms. Duran, why did you leave alone? Did something happen between you and Mr. Ramsey?¡± ra asked curiously. ¡°ra. Go to the kitchen with Amelia to make some porridge, Kieran said slowly. ¡°Oh. Okay.¡± After Amelia and ra left, Kieran got up and approached Alexa. ¡°Mr. Powell?¡± ¡°I asked the doctor to keep the medical record a secret.¡± ¡°You already know that... Thank you,¡± Alexa said weakly with a pale face. But as a doctor. I still suggest that you discuss it with your family as soon as possible. It may be difficult for you to persist in the follow up treatment alone¡± ¡°I understand. Thank you, Mr. Powell.¡± ¡°Have a good rest.¡± Alter Kieran left, the ward became quirt again T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Alexa held het phone, not intending to discuss it with Terrence at all No matter how hard the follow up treatment woull be, Alexa chose to face it alone. Just as Alexa was about to leave the hospital, she suddenly heard some noise outside the room. Alexa quickly adjusted her expression. The next second, the door was pushed open. ¡°Mom.¡± ¡°Alexa!¡± Rebekah held a tissue in her hand. When she saw Alexa, she felt very d and wiped away her tears. ¡°Alexa, what happened? Are you alright? How do you feel?¡± Rebekah asked worriedly as she sat beside Alexa. Alexa was about to answer when she caught a glimpse of a figure at the door. Terrence stood indifferently at the door as if he didn¡®t care about any of this at all. ¡°Did Terrence make you angry again?¡± Rebekah shot an angry nce at Terrence fiercely. ¡°I¡®ll talk to him after we get back!¡± ¡°No. Mom.¡± Alexa immediately held Rebekah¡®s hand. ¡°I am fine.¡± ¡°You¡®ve fainted. You are not fine! What did the doctor say?¡± Just as Rebekah finished speaking, a doctor appeared at the door. ¡°Hello, who is the patient¡®s family?¡± ¡°We are. We are all,¡± Rebekah said. ¡°This is the patient¡®s medical record.¡± As soon as the doctor finished speaking, Terrence silently took the record over. Alexa saw Terrence¡®s actions and felt a little nervous somehow. ¡°Hypoglycemia?¡± Terrence looked at Alexa suspiciously. ¡°Maybe it¡®s because I didn¡®t eat anything.¡± Alexa casually found an excuse. Her palms were covered in a cold sweat because of nervousness. ¡°You can leave the hospital now,¡± Terrence said indifferently. ¡°What are you thinking?¡± Rebekah said with a frown. ¡°Your wife is sick. You should take good care of her in the hospital.¡± ¡°How can she be taken good care of at this ce?¡± Terrence replied. ¡°After we get home, I¡¯ll take care of her myself.¡± Rebekah thought for a moment and suddenly smiled meaningfully ¡°Alexa, I think what Terrence said makes sense. You two can go home together,¡± Rebekah said. ¡°Alright¡± Actually, Alexa had long wanted to go home. But Alexa did not expect to go home with Terrence. ¡°You two should support each other for the rest of your lives. I still have some things to do, so I¡¯ll be leaving first.¡± Rebekah patted the back of Alexa¡¯s hand earnestly Then, she left, leaving only Alexa and Terrence here. Terrence suddenly said to Alexa, ¡°What are you waiting for?¡± Alexa looked up and bit her lips subconsciously. Terrence¡¯s date with Brynlee had been messed up by Alexa. Alexa thought Terrence must be very unhappy now. Alexa plucked up her courage and said, ¡°You may go first. I can go back by myself.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t pretend to be strong when you are actually sick.¡± ¡°You should have something important to do.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go home first.¡± Alexa had no choice but to hesitate to get off her sickbed. Unexpectedly, Terrence directly strode over, took off his suit jacket, and wrapped Alexa tightly. Then, Terrence held Alexa and lifted her. Alexa eximed in a low voice and hugged Terrence¡¯s neck with lingering fear. ¡°Alexa¡­¡± When ra came over with the hot porridge, she saw such a surprising scene. ¡°Ms. Powell.¡± Alexa was a little embarrassed, and her pale face suddenly became a little flushed. ¡°Thank you and Mr. Powell for your help tonight. I will definitely go to thank you personally another day.¡± Just as Alexa finished speaking, Terrence¡¯s deep eyes moved and fell on Alexa. ¡°You¡¯re wee. I¡¯ll pack up the porridge, and you can bring it back to have it at home,¡± ra said considerately. ¡°No need,¡± Terrence said in a cold voice. ra frowned slightly. But Terrence had already left with Alexa in his arms with a cold expression. Alexa was carried all the way to the car, and her whole body seemed to be frozen. She sat in the passenger seat, stiff. ¡°What are you thinking about?¡± Terrence¡¯s aura was too oppressive. Alexa even felt that Terrence could read her mind. ¡°I was thinking about how to thank Ms. Powell.¡± ¡°I will give the development right of thend in the east of the city to the Powell Group.¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, you are really generous. I¡®m not worth the price.¡± ¡°Alexa, are you angry with me?¡± ¡°No.¡± Alexa turned her head to look at the street scene outside the window and replied so lightly. Alexa thought she might not be able to see such scenery again. Terrence noticed Alexa¡®s loneliness. But in Terrence¡®s eyes, that became solid proof that Alexa was two faced. Terrence put on a long face and pulled over. Alexa turned her head in surprise, and she just happened to meet Terrence¡®s cold and deep eyes. ¡°What¡®s wrong?¡± Alexa asked. ¡°What are you angry about?¡± ¡°Haven¡®t you already asked this question? I told you, I¡®m not angry,¡± Alexa replied. Terrence said, ¡°If you still have some opinions about the divorce agreement, I will draw up another one for you tomorrow.¡± Alexa just couldn¡®t understand what Terrence was thinking. No matter what it was, Terrence would shift the topic to their divorce matter. ¡°What if I want it now?¡± Alexa said so coldly. A strange emotion was growing in her heart. ¡°Now?¡± ¡°Yes. Now!¡± Alexa said. Terrence gritted his teeth, and his eyes became colder! Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Countless Ways to Harm Her Terrence gritted his teeth, and his eyes became colder. But soon, he changed into an expressionless face and called Edwin. Alexa saw Terrence¡®s actions and unconsciously burst into tears because of anger ¡°I¡®ll take a taxi back myself.¡°After saying that, Alexa reachell out to pull the lock. But Terrence locked the door before Alexa could do anything. ¡°We will talk about it after we get back.¡± Then, neither of them spoke again. Alexa just let the tears wet her eyes and face, and she didn¡®t do anything to it at all, What had happened today exhausted all of her energy. Alexa leaned her head against the backrest and soon felt sleepy. Before long, the car slowly stopped at the entrance of the vi. Terrence wanted to call her, but when he saw the figure sitting in the chair quietly out of theer of his eye, he immediately lightened his movements. Because the medicine had taken effect, Alexa slept soundly. However, she was still able to catch the slight soundsing from her side. Terrence had just reached out his hand to hug her when Alexa immediately opened her eyes vigntly and kept her distance from him without saying a word. ¡°You¡®re here.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Make way, I¡®ll go in myself.¡± Alexa finished, but Terrence did not move. ¡°If you are not feeling well, don¡®t try to be brave.¡± He said in a low voice, bending down to pick her up. ¡°Why are you lighter again?¡± ¡°Put me down.¡± ¡°This isn¡®t the first time I have picked you up!¡± Terrence made light of it, iming his possessiveness. ¡°I am your husband. Let alone hugging you, even if it is something more intimate, it is only natural.¡± Alexa pursed her lips tightly and was speechless to reply to his nonsense. Although she and Terrence had been married for many years, they had never... Thinking of this, Alexa felt a sense of loneliness in her heart. He had never been stingy with sending her jewelry, but when he stayed with her, he never acted excessively. The rtionship between them was more like friends living under the same roof. ¡°Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I¡®ll tell the nanny to make it.¡± ¡°I am not hungry. I don¡¯t want to eat anything,¡± Alexa replied. ¡°No,¡± Terrence tly refused, ¡°rest for a while, I¡¯ll do it.¡± Terrence was simply too gentle and considerate, and Alexa even felt that she was dreaming. After carrying her into the room, Terrence took off his suit jacket and neatly put on the apron before going to the kitchen. Alexa remembered that he had never cooked before. At least, he had never cooked for her. ¡°What are you going to do?¡± Alexa quietly appeared at the door. ¡°Beef curry and spaghetti,¡± Terrence said skillfully, ¡°and chicken soup.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to go through so much trouble. I can just eat some oatmeal.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t even care if I¡¯m hungry, right?¡± He smiled, ¡°I¡¯ll eat with you.¡± ¡°When did you learn to cook?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you hate to eat bread recently?¡± Terrence said seriously, ¡°I only learned to make a few dishes.¡± Hearing his answer, Alexa was suddenly hit hard by something. ¡°You¡­ learned it specially, right?¡± ¡°Of course, I asked Andrew¡­ He said that these are the dishes you often eat.¡± Terrence, what are you doing¡­ Why do you give me hope when I am trying to give up on you? wondered she. ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± Terrence was standing with his back facing her, and his tone suddenly became colder. ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t say thank you to me.¡± He stubbornly emphasized, ¡°Am I an outsider?¡± Outsider? Could it be that we are very close? wondered Alexa. Alexa¡¯s eyes turned red, and her heart throbbed. ¡°Got it. I¡¯ll wait for you outside.¡± Terrence did not notice Alexa¡¯s abnormality and was even in a good mood. ¡°Heartless.¡± He bantered in a low voice, a light smile appearing at the corners of his mouth. It was not until Terrence brought the food to the table that Alexa felt hungry. The food he made looked extremely good as if it were made by a professional chef.

The moment he witnessed another man appearing in Alexa¡®s lite, he felt very ufortable Aller divorcing him, Alexa would soon build a new home with others This should be a matter of course, but his heart was filled with hatred and jealousy that were madly breeding Realizing that his thoughts were so unreasonable, Terrence immediately cut off his thoughts and became entirely dull. ¡°Come to thepany with me tomorrow.¡± ¡°Ah? ¡°You will be bored at home and get sick.¡± Alexa silently thought about it for a long time before she understood his words clearly. ¡°Can I go to thepany?¡± ¡°This is what my parents want,¡± Terrence said in a businesslike manner. ¡°After we divorce, you can continue to work in thepany. I will give you 160 thousand dors for living expenses every month. The Ramsey family will not treat you badly.¡± Terrence really had countless ways to hurt her. Alexa put down the bowl in her hand with a sad face. ¡°Do you think I proposed a divorce for money?¡± ¡°You¡®re a girl, and you don¡®t have a family...¡± When it came to the word ¡°family¡°, Terrence immediately stopped. The atmosphere between the two immediately became obscure and awkward. He subconsciously nced at Alexa. She was not hysterical, but she looked very gloomy. Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. ¡°In short, I will do my best to help you.¡± Alexa suddenly stood up, her hands hanging by her side clenching into fists. Terrence was stunnel for a moment. He obviously did not expect her reaction to be so intense ¡°You.¡± ¡°My brother is not dead!¡± Alexa¡®s voice was low and cold, and there was even a cry that was desperately suppressed ¡°Sorry, I shouldn¡®t have mentioned this.¡± Realizing that she was too excited, Alexa immediately controlled her emotions and returned to that indifferent expression. Terrence watched her change, and his deep eyes were suddenly filled with an unknown emotion. Alexa learned to lie to me, he wondered. ¡°Wait a minute...¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to rest first. You can leaveter.¡± With that, Alexa then left without looking back, not giving him another look. Terrence¡®s tall figure stood motionless in ce, and he was unable to recover for a long time. Why did Alexa suddenly seem to have been so different? Was it because of Brynlee? But before they got married, Alexa knew the importance of Brynlee in his heart. Terrence was puzzled and scanned the dishes on the table. Alexa only took a few sips of the soup and didn¡®t eat the dishes he put into her bowl at all. For the first time, he felt frustrated. Standing on the balcony and puffing on a cigarette, Terrence softly walked to the bedroom. The door was locked, and she was indeed angry. ¡°Rest early. I¡®ll be leaving first.¡± Terrence stood at the door and left the vi as she wished. Alexa, who was in the room, swallowed a handful of pills with trembling hands and did not even have the strength to go to the balcony to look at him. Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Chapter 13 Alexa¡¯s Condition Gets Worse In the garage, Terrence picked up a sports car and sped all the way in frustration. Finally, he stopped at Brynlee¡¯s vi. Brynlee was throwing a tantrum because of Terrence¡¯s departure. When she learned that he had returned, her anger instantly vanished. ¡°Ms. Walton, Mr. Ramsey is back again.¡± Sofia said happily, ¡°In my opinion, you are the one who has been ced at the top of his heart.¡± ¡°He should dare toe back.¡± Brynlee said deliberately, ¡°How dare he leave me behind for someone else?¡± ¡°Ms. Walton, could it be that the Ramsey family do something to force Mr. Ramsey to leave in a hurry?¡± Hearing this, Brynlee frowned and sneered. ¡°They only know that trick. Terrence doesn¡¯t love Alexa. Doing this will only make him suffer.¡± ¡°In my opinion, you will soon be Mrs. Ramsey. As for his parents¡­¡± ¡°I understand.¡± Brynlee said arrogantly, ¡°In this world, there is no one I can¡¯t take down.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, there was amotion at the door. Sofia understood and immediately retreated. Brynlee leisurely sat on the sofa, her charming eyes gently ncing at the door. Terrence entered the house with ease, and the exhaustion between his brows grew. ¡°Not sleep yet? Are you still feeling unwell?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not feeling well.¡± Brynlee said, throwing herself into his arms, ¡°I feel sad.¡± ¡°Brynlee¡­¡± Terrence gave in with a doting and helpless expression. Originally, Brynlee wanted to argue with him about Alexa, but seeing that he was in a bad mood, Brynlee very cleverly changed her strategy. ¡°You must be tired.¡± Brynlee looked at him gently. ¡°Hurry up and take a bath. I¡¯ve prepared bath water for you.¡± Terrence had always been happy to indulge in Brynlee¡¯s warmth. In contrast, Alexa was much duller, although she would asionally ept his gifts, most of the time she looked cautious and humble. Realizing that his thoughts had been upied by Alexa again, Terrence gritted his teeth, and his eyes turned cold. Sensing his strangeness, Brynlee tiptoed and kissed the side of his neck. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Brynlee¡¯s tone was inexplicably tinged with nervousness. She was afraid that he had someone else in his heart and even more afraid that the person was Alexa. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Terrence held her hand and smiled slightly, brushing away her worries. Brynlee still wanted to continue asking, but Terrence had already released her and gone to the bathroom without a Chapter 13 Alexa¡¯s Condition Gets Worse ¡°Alexa, son of bitch!¡± She cursed unwillingly, and her ince Pametremely terrifying Hrynier was an angry that she picked up her phone and sent a picture of her and Terrence to Alexa and proudly put on the posture of a winner ¡°TYTTNOT Was very happy when he was with me.¡± At this moment, Alexa was being tormented to death Ny the side effects of the medicine, and when she saw the photo, het bead was in so much pain that it was about to explode. The two in the photo were passionately Idssing each other, like a pair of intimate lovers. Terrence looked so affectionate He wanted to let the world know that he loved Brynlee. So what it she saw it? What could she do? Alexa gritted her teeth and torcefully endured the bitterness in her heart and deleted all the chat records. Out of sight, out of mind. But Alexa had clearly lost this time, After forcing herself to close her eyes, the scene became clearer and clearer in her mind, making it impossible for her to ignore it. Alexa had a tantrum in her heart that urgently needed to be thrown. She suddenly sat up from the bed, found the ck card that Terrence gave her, went to the garage to pick a limited edition Bugatti Veyron, and drove to the bar like mad. Alexa never spent his money before, but she was not being polite at all tonight. With a wave of her hand, she bought several bottles of wine that were worth about 1 million dors. Anyway, Terrence was extremely generous to her. Alexa did not know how to drink. She raised her head and took a big mouthful. The stimting and burning sensation made her reich. She immediately felt extremely afflicted. However, the burning pain of alcohol still could not suppress the slightest bit of heartache. ¡°You shouldn¡¯t drink wine like that.¡± A steady male voice sounded beside her. Alexa looked up with misty eyes. It turned out to be Kieran. ¡°Mr. Powell¡­¡± Kieran always had that gentle smile on his face, but at this time, he reached out and took the bottle of wine from her hand. ¡°What a waste of wine.¡± Kieran ordered the waiter, ¡°Get a cup of hot milk.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want milk.¡± Alexa said with a frown, ¡°Give the wine to me.¡± Chapter 13 Alexa¡¯s Condition Gets Worse She was so drink that she had no idea what she would do ¡°That is.¡± Alexa sald vaguely. ¡°My husband paid for it!¡± Hearing het say this proudly, Kieran curled his lips and smileil gently ¡°Give me the wine, and I¡¯ll give you the money.¡± Alexa suddenly covered her chest with a bitter look, ¡°It hurts!¡± Keran¡¯s face changed, and he immediately picked her up and rushed out the door In Bellevue Hospital, the situation in the emergency room was not optimistic. heran was waiting outside the door, looking serious. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. If there was anything wrong with Alexa, he could not escape the me. two hourster, John Smith, a doctor, finally came out. ¡°Dr. Powell, Ms. Duran¡¯s condition has deteriorated. She needs immediate surgery. ¡°But Dr. White, who is in charge of Ms. Duran, can only return tomorrow, and her family¡­¡± John looked embarrassed. His meaning was very obvious, The risk of this operation was quite high. If something went wrong, how could they exin it to the Ramsey family? ¡°I¡¯l handle her family.¡± Kieran said as he pulled at his sleeves, ¡°Prepare the surgery immediately.¡± The next morning, Terrence went to thepany with a gloomy face. Alexa had been angry with him for the whole night. He looked extremely cold. Even Edwin did not dare to approach him. ¡°Mr. Ramsey.¡± Edwin said, ¡°The jewelry you ordered has already been delivered. Who do you want to give it to? I¡¯ll go and handle it immediately.¡± It is obvious that it is for Mr. Ramsey. Edwin secretly guessed. Terrence, who was in front of him, suddenly stopped and gave him a big fright. ¡°Give it to me,¡± He said word by word. ¡°Yes.¡± What happened to Mr. Ramsey today wondered Edwin. Edwin thought about it and suddenly had a bold idea. Could it be because ... Mrs. Ramsey? he thought. ¡°Where is Alexa?¡± ¡°Eh? Mrs. Ramsey?¡± Edwin was confused. ¡°She should be at Duckdale Vi.¡± Terrence¡¯s expression became increasingly gloomy. ¡°Didn¡¯t I ask her toe to thepany today?¡± Good! It seemed that Alexa would no longer take what he said to heart. Terrence suppressed his anger and dialed Alexa¡¯s number. Without waiting for her to answer, he took the initiative to question her. ¡°Alexa, did you not understand what I said yesterday?¡± After a moment of silence, the person on the other end of the line said slowly. ¡°I am Kieran.¡± Something immediately exploded in Terrence¡¯s heart. Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Pretend to Be Pluiful ¡°Why is she with you?¡± Terrence did not hide the hostility in his tone at all. If not for the fact that they were talking over the phone, Kieran would definitely not stand whilelking to him. Even it Alexa did not love him, Terrence would never allow other men to get their hands on her! Kieran calmly told Terrence an address, then he casually hung up the phone. So noisy. His eyes fell slightly, not taking Terrence to heart at all. Troublesome. Kieran walked gently to the door of the ward. After a second thought, he ultimately did not push the door open and . enter ¡°Dr. Powell.¡± ¡°Good morning, Dr. White!¡± Kieran greeted him politely. ¡°I have heard about what happenedst night.¡± Dave White looked at Kieran with admiration. ¡°You are indeed a top-level figure in this field. If it weren¡¯t for youst night, her condition would have been really bad.¡± ¡°I only did my best.¡± Kieran said seriously, ¡°Ms. Duran is not in a good condition. It seems that we have to gather the experts as soon as possible ande up with a new treatment n.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± Dave said, nodding, ¡°That¡¯s exactly what I am thinking. With you here, there will definitely be no problem.¡± Kieran looked calm, but his heart was surging. His research had been going on for more than ten years, and no matter what, he must rely on his own to cure Alexa! Alexa, who was in the ward, had woken up, and with a slight movement, she immediately gasped in pain. I¡®m simply a fool! I shouldn¡®t have done such a childish thing, wondered she. Sensing the abnormality in her chest, Alexa carefully undid the buttons of her cor and saw the inch- long scar that had been sewn in her heart, Last night, she was too drunk She only remembered that she fainted from the pain and did not know what happened after that. How did I get this wound?she thought. Alexa could not help but feel a lingering fear, and at this time, someone knocked on the door. ¡°Come in.¡± The door was opened, and arge bunch of fresh sunflowers came into her view first. Kieran was wearing a white coat and looked more elite and mature than he used to be. ¡°Mr. Powell?¡± Alexa suddenly remembered. Thank you for sending me to the hospitalst night. I have troubled you again. I am really sorry.¡± ¡°Last night, your condition was terrible, so I did the surgery for you unasked.¡± Kieran exined seriously.¡± contacted your family member just now.¡± ¡°Family member?¡± Alexa immediately became nervous. ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Kieran smiled and said, ¡°I helped you to keep it a secret. I even specially performed a minimally invasive operation. The wound will heal soon.¡± ¡°Thank you, Dr. Powell. I don¡¯t know how to thank you.¡± ¡°Cooperate with the treatment. If we can cure the illness together, it will be the best gift for me.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°After all, you just underwent an operation. You should eat something light.¡± As Kieran spoke, he neatly ced the breakfast he had brought on the table, ¡°I¡¯ve prepared some oatineal for you and some snacks.¡± Seeing that she was in good condition, Kieran put the food away and politely left. Alexa looked at the food he sent, and a warm feeling filled her heart. There were still many people in this world who cared about her, and she absolutely could not give up the possibility of living easily Before breakfast, Alexa was full of energy as she arranged the flowers he sent into a vase. There was a slight sound at the door. Alexa smiled, ¡°Dr. Powell, is there anything else?¡± With a click, the door was locked. The person behind her did not make a sound, but Alexa had already sensed that extremely powerful oppressive feeling. Could it be.. Her face immediately turned pale, her eyes filled with shock as she turned around and immediately saw Terrence standing behind her like an iceberg, his face gloomy. Today, he seemed to be unprecedentedly angry. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Alexa held her cor and spoke with a guilty conscience, afraid that he would know her secret. ¡°Where were youst night?¡± Terrence questioned indifferently. ¡°Why do you ask me this question?¡± ¡°Where were youst night? who were you with?¡± Terrence¡¯s tone became colder and colder, even carrying a deep hostility. Alexa had never heard him speak in this tone, and her eyes unconsciously reddened. ¡°Do you think you can control where I go?¡± Alexa¡¯s tone was suddenly filled with wrath as she shed with Terrence in displeasure. As she was too agitated, the sunflowers in her hand snapped in half with a ¡°crack¡±. Terrence became angry when he saw the flower. ¡°Who gave it to you?¡± he asked with a sneer. ¡°It¡¯s none of your business,¡± Alexa retorted angrily. ¡°Good, Alexa.¡± Terrence was so angry that heughed instead, ¡°You¡¯re cool. You spent my money hooking up with other men, right?¡± Terrence¡¯s mocking words immediately ignited the feelings in Alexa¡¯s heart. ¡°Isn¡¯t Mr. Ramsey very generous?¡± Alexa imitated his manner. ¡°You can¡¯t afford to y like this, can you?¡± ¡°Alexa, say that again!¡± ¡°You said that I seduced other men. Do you have any evidence?¡± She became more and more unable to control her emotions. ¡°It¡¯s totally nder!¡± Terrence¡¯s deep eyes became sharp and cold, and he pressed her against the wall. His movements were extremely rude, his terrifying vibe wrapped around Alexa who was so scared that her body trembled slightly. ¡°You want evidence, right?¡± Terrenceughed mockingly. In the blink of an eye, he reached out and loosened her cor. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Alexa cried out in fear, her tone filled with a guilty broken voice. She reached out and grabbed her cor while pushing Terrence. ¡°Why are you afraid?¡± The anger in Terrence¡¯s eyes grew stronger and stronger. ¡°Alexa, are you feeling guilty?¡± ¡°No!¡± ¡°Do you want to loosen your cor yourself, or do you want me to do it?¡± ¡°Let me go!¡± Terrence was furious and pushed the vase off the table with a cold face. The ss bottle shattered, and the sunflowers scattered all over the ground. ¡°Terrence, how could you do that?¡± ¡°How could I do that?¡± Terrence advanced upon her. ¡°Youe to the hospital often. What are you here for?¡± Alexa seemed to have suddenly been grabbed by the neck, and her breathing became rapid. When the airflow entered her chest, it was as sharp as a knife, forcing her heart to ache. Alexa leaned against the wall and fell to the ground, retching. Terrence looked down at her from high above, unmoved. Alexa was heartless. Maybe she was pretending to be pitiful again. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. ¡°Go back with me immediately.¡± He ordered mercilessly, ¡°If you do it again, you¡¯re doomed.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t¡­¡± Get Bo ¡°From today onwards, without my permission, you are not allowed to step out of the vi. Pretend to Be Pitiful ¡°Whether or not you can see Keyon depends on whether you listen to me or not. Do you understand?¡± Terrence¡¯s casual words were like a sharp sword that stabbed into her heart. ¡°What did you say?¡± Alexa cried out in a daze. Her heart seemed to be bleeding. ¡°Do you know where my brother is?¡± Terrence¡¯s smile was cruel, and his tone was indifferent. ¡°Yes, I do.¡± Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Be Good He should not be so bad as to lie to her Alexa didn¡®t even think about it and immediately chased after Terrence in pain However, Terrence did not give her the chance to ask further. Just as Alexa reached the door, it closed with a ¡°bang¡°. and she almost hit her head. Alexa was terrified, and her legs went soft as she fell to the ground, She had just undergone the surgery and did not have the confidence to argue with Terrence. But Terrence did not leave the hospital After leaving the ward, he went to the garden downstairs and lit a cigarette. He just held it in his hand and didn¡®t pull on it. He had never felt so agitated. Ever since Terrence took over Hudson Group, he had not rxed a single day. He became more and more powerful, but he also became more indifferent and ruthless... Right now, he had the power to control the future of the business world. With a few words, he could turn it into a bloody battlefield However, in Alexa¡®s heart, he was nothing. How frustrating! Terrence gave a self¨Cmocking sneer, and the darkness in his eyes spread. If she admitted defeat and was more obedient... The money and power that others needed to work for their entire lives could all go to her with a wave of his hand. But she did not. Alexa always obediently epted his charity, not making a fuss, not caring about anything, just like ... a doll. No one had ever dared to ignore him like that. Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. Other than her brother whose life was unknown, there was nothing else that could enter her heart. Terrence was very displeased with Alexa¡®s unique feelings for her brother. He was indeed as bad as Alexa had said as he lied to her. After the cigarette was burnt out, Edwin hurried over. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, I¡®ve investigated the whole thing. Mrs. Ramsey drank at a bar and happened to meet Mr. Powell. Later, she was sent to the hospital by him. This is the bill fromst night,¡± Edwin exined. Terrence didn¡®t even look at the long roll of bills that Edwin handed over. Instead, he became even angrier. Going to a bar and coincidentally meeting Kieran? Every word was enough to make the mes burn higher and higher in his heart. Terrence silently stubbed out the cigarette, smelling of smoke, and turned to the ward. Alexay sideways on the bed, motionless, more like a puppet. Terrence threw the door frame against the wall and deliberately made a big noise. Then he said grumpily, ¡°Why are you still here? Are you waiting for me to invite you back?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t dare.¡± When Terrence heard these three words, he sensed a tinge of mockery. ¡°Alexa!¡± Terrence shouted in a low voice. He couldn¡¯t bear it anymore and walked to the bedside. He grabbed her thin arms and pulled her up with force. ¡°Who do you think you are? How can you talk to me like that? Huh?¡± He asked repeatedly, ¡°Who do you think you are?¡± Alexa opened her mouth but hesitated. Terrence red at her coldly and shook off her hands with a disgusted look. Then, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands over and over again. There seemed to be something dirty. ¡°Dr. Powell asked me to stay in the hospital for observation for two days.¡± Alexa exined patiently, ¡°I am not feeling well.¡± ¡°Are you unwell?¡± Terrence asked sarcastically, ¡°You feel better when you see Kieran, right?¡± Alexa frowned slightly and was speechless. What happened to Terrence today? ¡°Where is my brother?¡± ¡°Come back with me immediately.¡± Terrence ordered coldly, ¡°You have three minutes.¡± Alexa wasn¡¯t his rival. Get Boni In front of Terrence, she never had a saying. ¡°I want to get changed. Go out.¡± ¡°Well.¡± He gave an inexplicable sneer and finally went out. It was a little warmer today, but Alexa still put on the scarf fromst night. After checking several times in front of the mirror to ensure that the wound could be covered tightly, she pushed open the door and went out. ¡°Why are you so slow?¡± Terrence said and saw the scarf on her neck at a nce. Why does she wear a scarf on such a hot day? Could it be a gift from other men?he wondered. Terrence immediately became vignt, his eyes filled with coldness. ¡°Sorry, let¡¯s go.¡± She had thought it was the chauffeur who sent her back, but it turned out to be Terrence who sat in the driver¡®s seat. Alexa sat in the passenger seat and subconsciously leaned against the car door. Noticing her movements, Terrence became even coldet. Was he that terrifying? After a distance, Alexa found that they were in themercial district in the city center, But this was not the way home. Alexa was puzzled, but Terrence kept a long face, and she did not dare to ask more. Not long after, Terrence parked the car by the side of the road. ¡°Get off.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Alexa asked in surprise. ¡°Get out of the car and go to the mall,¡± Terrence exined patiently. Alexa was puzzled and pushed the car door open. Terrence walked around the front of the car to her side. He subconsciously raised his hand to hold her as he had done before, but at the thought that they were still quarreling, Terrence restrained the thoughts in his mind. It had only been a while since they got married, but he couldn¡®t live without her. Alexa looked back at him and found that Terrence¡®s face had be colder than before, and she immediately turned her head back What was wrong with him? He was really strange. Terrence¡®s purpose was very clear. He took her directly to the scarf counter. Themercial district was under Hudson Group, so only well¨Cknown luxury brands could open a store here. Alexa looked at him at the counter and wondered what he was going to do again. ¡°Try these.¡± ¡°Ah, but I¡®ve already had these.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Terrence¡¯s expression darkened. ¡°I told you to try these. Just do as I asked.¡± Alexa had no choice as she was afraid that he would re up in public, so she had to try these scarves ording to his request. ¡°Does it fit me?¡± Alexa asked. In fact, the ones he picked just happened to be the style she liked, and they were made of top¨Cquality silk, so they were naturally not bad. But Terrence¡¯s eyes shed as he said proudly, ¡°I don¡®t know why you like these scarves. You look like an olddy.¡± olddy! Chanter 15 Be Good Alexa was petrified. Did Terrence know what fashion incant Alexa silently took off the scart, bul Terrence stopped her. ¡°Put it on.¡± Alexa was speechless. ¡°You can only wear the scarves I bought.¡± Terrence turned to the counterdy and said, ¡°Wrap up all the ones she tried just now.¡± It was an unexpected big order, and the counterdy was more enthusiastic and spoke many ttering words in rapid session. Terrence did not listen to anything else except one sentence. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Mrs. Ramsey, you¡®re really loving and happy.¡± When Alexa heard this, the smile on her face stiffened, and she carefully turned her head to look at Terrence¡®s face, Surprisingly, he didn¡®t seem unhappy! She really didn¡®t understand what he was thinking. But as long as he was happy, he would tell her about her brother¡®s whereabouts, right? Taking the silk scarves that the clerk had packed, Terrence began to size up her dress again. ¡°What are you wearing? Change your clothes too.¡± Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Watch Your Manners, Mrs. Ramsey Alexa was tired and did not understand what Terrence was doing The operation consumed too much of licr encrgy, and Alexa was not in the mood to let him arrance But even though she was very tired, slie did not reject him. Terrence rarely took the initiative to go shopping with her. ¡°What do you want to buy?¡± Terrence asked. ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± In fact, Alexa had never been interested in dressing! Before the Duran family copsed, her daily life was taken care of by someone, and she didn¡¯t need to worry at all. Hearing her answer, Terrence frowned slightly and looked disgusted with her. ¡°Why don¡¯t you even know how to shop?¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Alexa said softly, ¡°I never went shopping before.¡± They could notmunicate at all. Terrence sighed and naturally held her hand, pulling her whole body over. ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll teach you.¡± Terrence said this confidently. Alexa was slightly surprised. A supreme being like him who stood at the peak did not seem to have any emotion or desire at all. let alone shopping However, very quickly, Alexa felt that his words were not convincing. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. Terrence didn¡¯t know what she needed, so he simply took Alexa to every shop for shopping. Halfway through, Terrence made a call to Edwin. When Edwin rushed over with a group of bodyguards, he only asked uliem to carry the shopping bags. However, why did everyone have to take dozens of bags? A dozen bodyguards walked side by side behind them and immediately attracted the attention of all the passers-by. Alexa felt the envy or contempt of others and wished she could escape immediately. Her current image was no different from those girls who tried their best to get a sugar daddy. Anyone who saw this scene would definitely feel that she was eye candy. Terrence acted as if nothing had happened and did not feel that it had troubled her at all. ¡°The clothes are enough. Let¡¯s go back.¡± ¡°Enough?¡± After Terrence finished speaking, they stopped in front of a lingerie shop. Alexa suddenly had a bad feeling. ¡°I don¡¯t think so,¡± Terrence said. As expected¡­. Terrence immediately brought her in. Alexa was simply embarrassed. Although she was not a conservative woman, the one who apanied her to buy underwear was Terrence! What could he know about it? As soon as the two entered the shop, the salesperson weed them enthusiastically. Alexa couldn¡¯t hear anything at all. Her cheeks were flushed, and her ears were red. Terrence¡¯s eyes swept her back and forth like a scanner. He finally said, ¡°36B, pack all the warm colors.¡± Puff! Alexa almost spat out a mouthful of blood. She thought, is he joking? How does he know my cup? The salesperson did not expect Terrence to have such a strange way of thinking, but since he had spoken, they would do as he said. This time, Terrence did not let Edwin and the others carry the shopping bags but personally carried them. Looking at his arrogant appearance, Alexa hadpletely speechless. ¡°Are you hungry?¡± ¡°A little,¡± Alexa replied honestly. ¡°Then let¡¯s have lunch outside.¡± Alexa was only thinking about eating,pletely unaware that Terrence was talking about ¡°Let¡¯s¡±. Edwin¡¯s efficiency was very high. After Terrence finished speaking, he quickly contacted the best. restaurant in the city and asked them to prepare for the reception. After arriving at the restaurant, Alexa finally found herself hungry. After the dishes were served, she did not mind that Terrence was still present and immediately started eating without caring about her image. Terrence was still very angry in the morning, but now he was actually in a good mood. Probably it was because Alexa was still his, and no one took her away from him. ¡°Are you that hungry? Haven¡¯t you eaten for hundreds of years? Watch your manners, Mrs. Ramsey.¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t eaten this morning.¡± Alexa vaguely said and took a mouthful of soup. She did not notice at all that Terrence¡¯s face suddenly turned a little cold. He thought, did she refer to the mess on the table in the morning? It was not delicious. She mentioned it because Kieran gave it to her? Terrence was faintly angry now, and he even felt some regret. He should not have taken her to the party that day, then those messy people would not have suddenly intruded into her life. He thought, I was clearly the one who arrived first, so why was there no ce for me in Alexa¡¯s heart at all? ¡°There is a chef at home. Why do you want to eat those things?¡± Terrence raised his head and nced at her coldly. His tone was unpleasant, and even if Alexa was insensitive, she could tell that he was talking about the thing that happened in the hospital. Unexpectedly, he aimed at Kieran again. This time, Alexa nned to exin it to him thoroughly. ¡°Give me a little more trust, okay? There¡¯s really nothing going on between Kieran and me. He¡¯s a doctor, and I¡¯m a patient. That¡¯s all,¡± Alexa said sincerely. ¡°Yes, so?¡± He asked, ¡°What does this have to do with me?¡± She was speechless. She could not understand him clearly. Obviously, he was the one wlio inexplicably brought up this topic, and she exined it to him. The one who didn¡¯t care was also him.. Alexa felt like a clown being toyed with in the palm of his hand. Terrence¡¯s attitude was like pping her face. Thinking that this topic ended like this, Alexa pretended to calmly pick up the tableware again, but she found that she had no appetite at all. However, Terrence sat opposite her, and Alexa did not want to make a fool of herself. Terrence elegantly held his wine ss, a sneer on his face. ¡°¡®There are so many doctors in the hospital. Why him?¡± Alexa became absent-minded and pressed the knild and sork on the ceramic te, making an abrupt and ear-piercing noise. Terrence already had an answer in his heart. Waiting for her to exin? What else could she exin? ¡°¡­.¡± ¡°Terrence!! A fainiliar female voice sounded! Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Not Qualified to Disobey Me! Terrence¡¯s gaze shifted to the door, and his eyes instantly softened. Alexa immediately guessed who the person was. ¡°I just came back from the show and saw your car parked on the side of the road, so I came up.¡± Brynlee walked over with a smile and cast a furtive nce at Alexa. ¡°Alexa is here too?¡± Brynlee smiled. She was confident and generous. ¡°It seems that I came at the wrong time. Terrence, I¡¯d better leave first. Let¡¯s contactter.¡± Hearing this, Alexa suppressed the nervousness in her heart and looked at Terrence with slight anticipation. What would he do? ¡°You came at the right time.¡± Terrence smiled amiably and personally got up to pull out the chair closest to him. ¡°What do you want to eat?¡± He extended his right hand and intertwined his fingers with Brynlee¡¯s left hand. Brynlee said gently and thoughtfully, ¡°I don¡¯t want to disturb you. I just want to stay with you.¡± After Brynlee finished speaking, Terrence swept a nce at Alexa. Alexa sneered and looked at them like she was watching a show. She was really worthy of him personally driving her away. Brynlee gracefully raised her wine ss. From the angle Alexa was standing, she could clearly see the smug smile on Brynlee¡¯s face. How disgusting. Without saying a word, Alexa consciously lifted her handbag and left without looking back. It was not a big deal. If she didn¡¯t care, she wouldn¡¯t get hurt. Walking to a ce where Terrence could not see, Alexa became sad and fiercely pulled off the scarf Terrence had bought for her. She had nowhere to go and could only go home. But she was in the city center. If she walked back, it would take at least four to five hours, and the only one who could send her back was¡­ Forget it. She immediately dismissed the idea of counting on Terrence. It was a shame to say that her husband was clearly the most powerful and wealthy person in the world, but she had no money in her pocket. Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org. Her condition became worse. Alexa sighed and wandered aimlessly on the street. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, Mrs. Ramsey!¡± A high-profile Maybach stopped steadily beside her, and Alexa turned to look and saw the person in the car at a nce. ¡°Edwin?¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, where are you going?¡± ¡°I¡­ intend to go to the Duran¡¯s house.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll send you there.¡± Alexa politely said, ¡°Don¡¯t bother. You go do your work. I will go back myself.¡± Alexa¡¯s words shocked Edwin. This was Mrs. Ramsey, one of his bosses! If Terrence knew that he had left Alexa on the streets, then his career could be ended in advance.. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, get in the car.¡± Edwin got out of the car and respectfully opened the door of the backseat for her. Alexa thought about it for a while and got in. ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°You are too polite. It is my duty.¡± Edwin¡¯s efficiency was extremely high, and it didn¡¯t take long for him to send Alexa to the entrance of the Duran¡¯s house. After Alexa got off the car, she bowed to him very politely. ¡°Thank you, Edwin.¡± Edwin was so scared that he almost fainted. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, you don¡¯t have to be so polite with me. If you need anything, just call me at any time.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa smiled sweetly. ¡°Thank you.¡± Seeing her smile in the rearview mirror, Edwin couldn¡¯t help but feel liis heart skipa beat. It was as if he suddenly realized lier charm. After Edwin, Alexa turned and walked to the gate, each step extremely heavy. After two years of marriage with Terrence, this was the first time she liad returned to the Duran¡¯s liouse. Alter the Duran family¡¯s incident, all the assets of the Duran family were seized, but their home was still as usual, and it was said to be waiting for the auction. Alexa found the key from the bag and opened the door smoothly. Everything there was the same as before, and there was not a single speck of dust on the furniture covered by the white cloth. Alexa suddenly wanted to cry. Her house was still there, but she didn¡¯t have a home. All of a sudden, Alexa felt annoyed. She did not want to go back to the Duckdale Vi at all! She thought, what right does Terrence have to be able to have fun outside while flirting with girls? Why do I have to be like an abandoned woman, staying alone at home? Alexa then entered her room. Perhaps only when she was there could her parentse to her dream. The sky gradually darkened, and Terrence returned to the vi for the first time today. Mina was very surprised and immediately sent more maids to the kitchen. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, you are back! What do you want to eat for dinner?¡± Mina asked cheerfully. ¡°Up to you.¡± Terrence replied absent-mindedly and then turned to look around. He didn¡¯t see that person. ¡°Where is she?¡± Chantor 17 Mon findin ¡°Mrs. Ramsey? Maybe something happened. Mrs. Ramsey hasn¡¯te back yet,¡± Mina replied awkwardly. Not back yet? Terrence silently looked at the clock on the wall. It was already eight. He thought, it is impossible for her to note back after such a long time, or does she not intend toe back at all? She is getting more and more disobedient. Terrence sat down on the sofa with a cold face. Anger gradually rose in his heart. An hourter, Terrence¡¯s patiencepletely ran out. He couldn¡¯t bear it any longer and took out his phone, quickly finding Alexa¡¯s phone number. When his finger was about to touch the screen, he suddenly stopped. He thought, she was clearly the one who lost her temple first, and now I have to take the initiative to call her? Terrence gritted his teeth, and his face darkened. ¡°Edwin!¡± ¡°Yes, Mr. Ramsey.¡± ¡°Immediately check Alexa¡¯s location, and bring her back.¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey? Mrs. Ramsey went to the Duran¡¯s house.¡± Edwin was puzzled. ¡°The Duran¡¯s house?¡± The anger in Terrence¡¯s heart was clearly disyed on his face. ¡°Yes, it was me who sent Mrs. Ramsey over.¡± ¡°You did?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Very good.¡± Terrence silently hung up and went straight to the garage. Edwin was stunned. He did not quite understand it. Chanter 17 Na Ousled However, he suddenly had a bad feeling. Back at her home, Alexa had an unusually good sleep. It had been a long time since she had slept so well since she was sick. When Terrence came in a hurry, the Duran¡¯s house was so deserted that no one seemed to be there. He rubbed his eyebrows in frustration and pushed the door open with ease. Alexa was indeed in her room and was sleeping soundly, not even noticing his arrival, Terrence subconsciously became quiet and skillfully turned on the night lights at the bedside. Under the dim light, Terrence could clearly see her harmless and quiet sleeping face. At that moment, all her aggression and indifference were gone, and shey obediently on the bed like a newborn baby. Terrence sat down at the edge of the bed and no longer suppressed his thoughts. He wanted to caress her, wanted her to quarrel with him, and wanted her to care about him. Terrence was lost in thought, and his slightly rough fingertips hadnded on her cheek. Her skin was fair and warm. Not enough, he wanted more¡­ However, the next moment, Alexa¡¯s body shook, and she suddenly woke up. Terrence saw the look in her eyes. She was obviously sleepy, but soon she was full of vignce and aloofness. Was she afraid of him? Terrence suddenly found that he hated this feeling. He immediately withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened. He stood up with a cold face and looked down at her. ¡°How long are you going to sleep?¡± ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°Go back with me.¡± He still had this tone, never having any patience or understanding and always controlling the shackles on her. ¡°This is my home. There is now that states that I can¡¯t live here.¡± She was a little infuriated. ¡°Why are you angry at me?¡± ¡°I will live here today.¡± ¡°Alexa!¡± Terrence suddenly raised his voice, and there was anger in his eyes. ¡°You have to be clear that I am not discussing with you. You are not qualified to disobey me.¡± Chapter 18 Chapter 18 Chapter 18 Stop Beating Then there was nothing to talk about. The tiny light in Alexa¡¯s eyes dimmed in an instant. She suddenly put away all her defenses and looked at him nkly as if her soul had been suddenly extracted. Terrence pursed his thin lips tightly, and the anger in his heart surged. ¡°Who allowed you toe here?¡± He asked coldly. His words were like an icicle, stabbing straight into her heart. Alexa¡¯s dark eyes quietly looked forward. After a long silence, tears appeared in her eyes. ¡°But¡­ this is my home.¡± Terrence was stunned and suddenly did not react. She was crying. Was it because of what he just said? But he was clearly just dissatisfied with her not going back home. Terrence stood still without a word, and he wanted to exin and apologize to her. However, his inexplicable and tangled thoughts tore his apology. He even wanted to wait for Alexa to give in. She should not have left without saying goodbye, should not have faced him with this attitude, and should not have ignored him. However, Alexa did not. She got out of bed calmly and meticulously arranged the bed. Then, she stood in front of him expressionlessly. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes seemed to have been frozen. There was no warmth at all. They then walked out of the house, and it suddenly rained heavily. ¡°I¡¯ll go get an umbre in the car.¡± Terrence had just finished speaking when Alexa suddenly let go of his hand and rushed into therain. ¡°Ale¡­¡± Before he finished speaking, she had already opened the car door and got in. The anger in his heart surged even more. His entire body trembled. Terrence went around the front of the car and sat in the driver¡¯s seat with a gust of cold rain. Then, he mmed the car door, making a loud noise. Alexa felt the cold, and her thin body unconsciously shrank. He nced at her with a gloomy face and pressed the heating button heavily as if he was venting all his anger on it. After calming down a little, Terrence found that the scarf around her neck was gone, reced by at turtleneck sweater. ¡°Where is the thing I gave you?¡± ¡°The scarf? Just now, I was changing clothes at home. I don¡¯t know where I left it,¡± Alexa exined indifferently. With every word she said, Terrence¡¯s expression got even colder. She said she didn¡¯t know where she left it. Alexa leaned against the seat absent-mindedly, and she didn¡¯t feel much warmer. She just looked at the rain in front of her, and soon they arrived at the Duckdale Vi. After Terrence parked the car, he grabbed her wrist, pulled her out of the car, and quickly pulled. her to the living room. The two of them did not hold an umbre and entered the house in the rain, their bodiespletely. drenched. Mina had been waiting for them toe back, but at that moment, she was shocked. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Mrs. Ramsey?¡± Terrence¡¯s face was sullen. Alexa forced a smile and went upstairs. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, do you still need to have dinner?¡± Mina asked carefully. Terrence nced coldly at the food on the table, which he had instructed Mina to make when he went out, and until then, it was unknown how many times it had been heated up. He took off his wet suit, got himself some food, and ate it slowly. Before long, the dishes on the table had been consumed by him. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, shall I ask the chief to make some more for Mrs. Ramsey?! Terrence mercilessly said, ¡°No need.¡± He then sat on the sofa and picked up a book to read gracelully. Not long after, Alexa took a slower and went downstairs, But the food on the dining table was gone. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey. I¡¯m really sorry. The che has already left,¡± Mina said with a guilty look on her face. ¡°It¡¯s alright¡­¡± Alexa responded gently and immediately understood, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± She said politely, ¡°Mina, you should go and rest. I¡¯ll just make a little myself.¡± After Mina lest, Alexa quietly stood at the table for a while. Although Terrence was holding the book, his mind had long dristed away. Alexa went to the kitchen, and she was walking back and forth in the kitchen. He heard the sound of pots colliding with each otlie It was messy, sharp, and ear-piercing In the two years of marriage, she had never cooked. After all, she was the most beloved little princess of the Duran family. Before she met him, she was shining like a star. She was gorgeous, free, and lively. How could she be imprisoned in the kitchen? Terrence was right. Alexa was in the kitchen for a long time, and the chopped vegetables were horrible. She wanted to fry an egg, but the hot oil in the pot suddenly exploded, causing several blisters on the back of her hand, ¡°Ah¡­¡± Hearing the involuntary cry, Terrence could no longer sit still. Alexa was holding the slice in fear when she saw Terrence suddenlye in. ¡°Are you gonna blow up the kitchen?¡± Terrence said grumpily. ¡°Sorry.¡± ¡°Get out.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll do it.¡± With that said, Terrence very aggressively snatched the slice from her hand and lectured her. ¡°You are not allowed to enter the kitchen from now on,¡± Terrence said coldly. ¡°Okay¡­¡± Alexa reflexively sat at the dining table and waited for him. Not long after, a dish appeared in front of her. It was the same as before, but this time, Terrence was not in a good mood. ¡°Thank you.¡± Terrence¡¯s expression did not ease at all. Alexa was really hungry, so she didn¡¯t argue with him about this much. Just as she was about to eat, her phone rang. Alexa was just about to get up, but Terrence was one step ahead of her and snatched the phone. away. Then, a mocking smile appeared on his cold face. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Alexa asked in confusion. Terrence walked toward her with a gloomy face. He seemed to gradually realize something, and his eyes were cold without the slightest warmth. He stopped beside her and flipped over the dish in front of her. The porcin dish broke into pieces, the food scattered all over the ground, and a lot of soup. sshed on her feet. It was oily and hot, but Alexa did not cry out in pain at all and forcibly suppressed her grievance. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± She repeated it patiently, not even noticing that her voice was trembling. Now, Terrence was really terrifying as if he wanted to kill her. ¡°Kieran called. Do you want to take it?¡± Without waiting for Alexa to answer, he put her phone on the table and pressed the hands-free button. ¡°It¡¯s me, Kieran.¡± The calm and gentle voice sounded, and the anger and cruelty in Terrence¡¯s eyes suddenly magnified. He saw her face instantly be pale. Terrence thought, why? Thest barrier in Terrence¡¯s heart suddenly fell, and the anger and jealousy overwhelmed him. Alexa¡¯s legs were weak, and her clear eyes were full of fear for him. There was no way to escape. Terrence fiercely held her lower jaw, and his cold hand got under her clothes and pinched her waist with a threatening intention. Alexa trembled in fear while Terrence got close to her neck and whispered to her, destroying her self-esteem. His voice was so low that only she could hear. ¡°Alexa, let him listen.¡± Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. Terrence was crazy! Alexa was in a dilemma. Kieran on the other side of the line had already noticed something strange. ¡°Ms. Duran, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes darkened, and he suddenly pressed her down on the table. Alexa clearly felt the pain of flesh tearing, and the wound on her chest gradually became wet. Terrence forcefully pressed against her, and he lost his mind. ¡°Please¡­¡± She spoke weakly, pushing his hands and gradually losing the strength of resistance. Terrence suddenly realized that something was wrong. He looked down and saw that there was actually blood on Alexa¡¯s chest! ¡°Alexa?¡± He immediately panicked. Alexa spat out a mouthful of blood with a painful expression. She then fell into the darkness. without consciousness, and her heart gradually stopped beating¡­ Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Fragile Rtionship ¡°Alexa? Alexa!¡± Terrence shouted, but Alexa still had no reaction. The blood welled up from her chest. Terrence had never been so flustered. lle immediately carried her in his arms and rushed out. Late at night, there was a growing hubbub in Bellevue Hospital. Many experts and professors gathered at the first moment to hold a consultation. Kieran put on his surgical gown with a sullen face and listened to the nurse¡¯s report about the patient. Terrence stood outside the operating room in a daze. The blood on his shirt had dried up, and it was imaginable how badly Alexa had been hurt. He thought, why? Why did it be like this? With tears in his eyes, he punched the wall, and his hands immediately started bleeding. The pain was nothingpared to the pain Alexa suffered. He knew that Alexa kept him in the dark about something. ¡°Terrence!¡± Someone called him not far away. Brynlee ran over with a worried look. When Terrence saw her, he did not feel much better. ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Brynlee grabbed his arm and looked at the operating room. ¡°I heard from a friend that you came to the hospital,¡± Brynlee said with tears streaming down her face. ¡°So I rushed over from the film set immediately. Terrence, are you alright?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± Terrence replied coldly. Brynlec held his hand, and she didn¡¯t expect that her hands would be stained with blood. ¡°Terrence, you¡¯re injured!¡± Brynlee eximed. Terrence¡¯s face was still cold as he stared at the operating room. It was obvious that there was a very important person inside. ¡°Terrence, let them bind up the wound.¡± Brynlee lowered her voice and begged him, trying her best to pull him away. She knew who was inside the operating room, and that was why she could not let Terrence stay there. ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± Terrence said indifferently. He didn¡¯t even care about what Brynlee was saying. When Alexa woke up, she caught the smell of medicine. She subconsciously raised her arm, but it was immediately held down by someone. ¡°Don¡¯t move. You are still on a drip.¡± Alexa turned her head with a surprised look, and as she expected, it was Terrence who was staying by her bedside. ¡°Why are you still here?¡± she asked. Terrence seemed to have not heard her words and was surprisingly gentle and patient. ¡°What would you like to eat? Oatmeal porridge?¡± Terrence gently held her finger. ¡°I¡¯ll get the cook to make some dishes you like.¡± ¡°What did the doctor say?¡± ¡°You should eat something first.¡± Terrence¡¯s attitude made Alexa depressed. She thought, does he know that? ¡°I¡­¡± ¡°Terrence!¡± Someone suddenly barged into the ward. Brynlee came in with a few assistants and ced all the dishes on the table. Seeing that Alexa had woken up, she remained collected and acted natural. ¡°That¡¯s great! Alexa, you woke up!¡± Alexa started at her coldly, and she was very calm. ¡°I brought you lunch. Let¡¯s eat together.¡± ¡°No,¡± Alexa refused coldly. She still felt a great deal of pain after the operation, and she didn¡¯t want to do something to satisfy Brynlee. ¡°Are you hungry?¡± Terrence asked. ¡°No.¡± Alexa turned his back to him. ¡°You guys should leave quickly after you have lunch here. I won¡¯t see you out.¡± Terrence still wanted to say something, but looking at her in a stubborn and cold manner, he held. back words that sprang to his lips. He thought, Alexa, Alexa¡­. Why does our rtionship end like this? ¡°Terrence,¡± Brynlee said in a sweet voice. ¡°Alexa just had an operation. It¡¯s normal for her to have no appetite. I¡¯ll get someone to make lunch again. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Alexa thought, you¡¯re so considerate. Alexa sneered silently with disgust. ¡°Ms. Walton, why do you say that? Who do you think you are?¡± Alexa said. She sat up, and she was emaciated with a sneer on her sickly face. ¡°What?¡± Alexa raised his eyebrows and looked straight at her. ¡°I¡­¡± Brynlee stammered and looked at Terrence with a deep sense of grievance. Terrence at this time was staring at Alexa, his eyes full of curiosity. ¡°Terrence and I care about you. I treat you as my sister, Alexa.¡± ¡°I see. What should I treat you as? Mrs. Ramsey? After all, you might marry him at any time,¡± Alexal answered indifferently and tilted her head. As soon as she finished speaking, Terrence and Brynlee froze. Alexa was extremely calm, but her words were quite cutting. Brynlee also did not expect that Alexa would say it openly. Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. Brynlee thought, you¡¯re right. I might marry him at any time. I don¡¯t care about whether you know it or not. ¡°Alexa, you misunderstood me. That¡¯s not what I want,¡± Brynlee said. ¡°Really?¡± Alexa asked. ¡°Don¡¯t you want to be his wife?¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough. Brynlee, go back home first.¡± Terrence interrupted her with a sullen face. ¡°L.¡± ¡°Bye. Show yourself the door,¡± Alexa said. Brynlee had originallye to show off, but she had never expected that she would be embarrassed. ¡°Terrence,¡± Brynlee said in a gentle and sweet voice. Then Brynlee wrapped her arms around his waist in an altempt to sosten him up. She was extremely confident that she could manipte Terrence by doing this. However, he pushed her away with an indifferent look. ¡°I will ask Edwin to send you back to the film set.¡± ¡°Terrence?¡± Brynlee said in disbelief. However, Terrence frowned slightly and his eyes turned cold. She was good at gauging people¡¯s minds and knew that Terrence was angry. Brynlec did not say anything else and obediently turned around to leave. The ward quickly quicted down. Alexa turned around and found that Terrence was still standing in ce. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you leaving?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll make you some porridge.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to do it.¡± Terrence walked to the door. Then he suddenly turned around and stood still. ¡°Alexa!¡± ¡°What?¡±She replied softly as if she had expected that he would be angry. Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Don¡¯t Disappoint Me Again After he saw her lying on the bed, and she was so thin, the inexplicable anger in Terrence¡¯s heart immediately disappeared without a trace. ¡°Be good, okay?¡± His voice softened in an instant. Alexa snorted and said in a huff, ¡°No.¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t feel well. Why did you hide it from me?¡± ¡°Hide it from you?¡± Alexa sighed tiredly. ¡°You won¡¯t believe it even if I told you!¡± ¡°Kieran said that you got hurt before,¡± Terrence asked seriously. ¡°Why didn¡¯t I know that you were injured?¡± ¡°I got drunkst time and identally got hurt.¡± ¡°Really?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Alexa said calmly. ¡°You don¡¯t believe me?¡± ¡°I believe you,¡± Terrence said. ¡°Have a rest. I¡¯ll be back soon.¡± Then he went out quietly and closed the door. Alexa covered her wound and walked a fewps in the ward. Then she walked to the table. Suddenly, her face darkened, and she overturned the dishes on the table. The originally clean and tidy ward was instantly in a mess, but she didn¡¯t feel better at all. When Kieran entered the ward, a te fell beside him and smashed on the floor. Alexa gritted her teeth. She seemed to be a person of strong character, but it was actually her mask. Now the mask was stripped off, and her eyes were filled with tears. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± ¡°After the painkillers wear off, your wound might hurt,¡± Kieran said gently, ¡°I¡¯ll prescribe you some painkillers. Don¡¯t be sad. You must be in a good mood.¡± ¡°I¡¯m really sorry. I¡¯ve caused you trouble again,¡± Alexa said. ¡°I¡¯m the one who caused you trouble. I shouldn¡¯t have called youst night,¡± Kieran said with a meaningful look. Alexa pursed his lips, without saying a word. ¡°But you must be more careful. You¡¯re not immortal. Take care of yourself.¡± Dr. Powell, how long can I live?¡± Alexa suddenly asked this question. Kieran stopped writing the medical record. ¡°You can live to be a hundred.¡± Hearing this, Alexa suddenly smiled. She was amused, and the smile was bright and beautiful on her fair face. Terrence, who had just returned, saw Alexa¡¯s smile and he suddenly froze. She smiled so cheerfully in front of Kieran, but she had never put on such a broad smile in front of Terrence. Terrence tightly pursed his thin lips, and his handsome face was as cold as ice. ¡°Come here,¡± Terrence said coldly. He narrowed his eyes. Alexa nervously grasped the hem of her clothes, and her smile froze. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Ms. Duran has notpletely recovered. You must take care of her.¡± Terrencepletely ignored Kieran, and his eyes were fixed on Alexa. ¡°I see. Thank you, Dr. Powell,¡± Alexa said softly.Terrence thought, she¡¯s so patient with a stranger.It seemed that he got jealous.. ¡°I¡¯ll have someone clean up the ward.¡± ¡°Mr. Powell, you don¡¯t have to worry about these things,¡± Terrence said snappily. Then he pushed Kieran away and grabbed Alexa¡¯s wrist. Suddenly, thinking of something, he released his grip on her hand. Then he forcefully held her hand together, pulling her closer to him. Alexa¡¯s face turned red with rage as he was very rude. She thought, how could he be so rude to Mr. Powell? ¡°I will take care of my wife myself.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll take my leave,¡± Kieran said and looked at Alexa. ¡°Alright, goodbye, Mr. Powell,¡± Alexa said with an apologetic smile. Even though Terrence didn¡¯t say anything, Alexacould clearly feel the growing conflicts between them. After Kieran les, the smile on Alexa¡¯s face instantly disappeared. ¡°Terrence, what are you doing?¡± ¡°What am I doing?¡± Terrence said patiently. ¡°Why were you smiling, so happily in front of him? Are you on good terms with him?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to talk to you,¡± she said. Then she looked at her hand. The warmth in the palm of his ringlitnd sucklenly disappeared. Terrence looked at the mess in the Ward, and his face darkened. Thien le carried Alexa in his arms and left the ward. ¡°Let go of me!¡± ¡°Here?¡± Terrence raised his eyebrows. ¡°Are you sure?¡± After saying that, he pretended to loosen his grip. Alexa was so scared that she immediately put her arms around his neck. ¡°You!¡± Seeing her poutingce, Terrence let much better. ¡°What?¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t you go to see your superstar?¡± ¡°Superstar?¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes suddenly became icy. When Alexa saw his reaction, she thought that slie guessed riglit. ¡°I know what happened between you and her. You don¡¯t have to react like this,¡± she said. ¡°What do you know?¡± Terrence¡¯s tone was sharp. ¡°I know she¡¯ll be your wise,¡±Alexa said will a smile and narrowed her eyes. ¡°She is your ardent lover and your virtuous wise.¡± ¡°What about you?¡± he asked. ¡°Me?¡± Alexa smiled. ¡°I¡¯m nothing.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, the remaining tenderness on Terrence¡¯s face waspletely gone. ¡°Great, you know your position well,¡± he said coldly with a sneer. ¡°Of course,¡± Alexa replied fearlessly. ¡°After all, she ys tricks very well. I can¡¯t make you love me devotedly. If I spend my time on other men, I might seed.¡± ¡°Other men? Who? Kieran?¡± A sneer crept over Terrence¡¯s lips.She thought, as I expected, he says it again.He¡¯s really narrow-minded.¡± She had no choice but to fob him off and thenpsed into silence. The bodyguard standing outside respectfully opened the VIP ward door. Terrence put her on the sickbed with a darkened face and then left. He stood in front of the mirror and straightened his suit meticulously. ¡°Alright, you can leave now.¡± ¡°Of course, I¡¯m leaving. Do you think I will stay with you?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t deserve it.¡± ¡°Yeah, you don¡¯t deserve it,¡± Terrence said coldly. ¡°Remember that you¡¯re Mrs. Ramsey. Don¡¯t disappoint me again.¡± After he gave the order coldly, he called someone in front of her. He didn¡¯t think he should avoid Alexa. ¡°Yes, yes, I know¡­ The candlelight dinner is ready.¡± Alexa hid under the quilt and could not say a word. He seemed to really believe her words and no longer asked about the wound, but Alexa was not happy at all. She thought, Terrence, look at me. Why don¡¯t you question me? Do you really believe such an obvious lie? She stayed alone in the hospital, but her husband would have a candlelight dinner with another Woman. Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org. It was quite ironic. Alexa slept soundly for a while, and after she woke up, a servant came to ask her what she wanted to have for dinner. She had no appetite at all now, but she thought about it seriously. ¡°What will Terrence have for dinner?¡± Alexa asked. ¡°Mr. Ramsey? He is having dinner with Ms. Walton right now.¡± ¡°I know.¡± Alexa fluttered her eyshes. ¡°I¡¯ll eat whatever he eats.¡± ¡°Okay, Mrs. Ramsey.¡± Soon, borate dishes were served. Alexa wanted to start eating, but as soon as she smelled the taste of those dishes, she felt queasy. In the end, there was nothing for her to throw up. Alexa weakly leaned against the wall and slowly walked out of the bathroom. ¡°Take these dishes away. Just give me a bowl of porridge,¡± she said weakly. After the candlelight dinner, Terrence sent Brynlee back to the film set. Then he drove to the Duckdale Vi. He didn¡¯t even know why he would go to this ce. Seeing that the chefs were busy in the kitchen, Terrence even thought that Alexa had returned, and he did not know why he was happy. ¡°Sir, you are back,¡± Mina greeted him. ¡°They¡¯re still making porridge for Mrs. Ramsey. We just sent her many dishes, but she didn¡¯t even taste them.¡± ¡°She can¡¯t just have porridge. Make a bowl of chicken soup. I¡¯ll send them to the hospital myself,¡± Terrence said with a frown. ¡°Alright,¡± Mina answered happily. After a while, Edwin suddenly arrived at the Duckdale Vi. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, a nurse said that Mrs. Ramsey left the hospital. She hasn¡¯te back yet!¡± ¡°Where did she go?¡± Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Chapter 21 Get Married ¡°I¡¯m searching for her.¡± Edwin called his subordinates under the pressure and noticed that the atmosphere was rather tense. Terrence stood in front of him coldly without saying anything like an iceberg. ¡°She is in the cemetery¡­¡± Edwin trembled with fear and looked up, but he found that Terrence had left. He let out a sigh of relief and found that his palm was actually covered in a cold sweat. Terrence drove out of the garage, and the car whirled away along the empty road. The roar of the engine tore through the silent night. Why did she go to the cemetery now? Terrence¡¯s face was extremely grave, and his deep-set eyes were quite cold. At this moment, Alexa slowly walked out of the cemetery, and her clothes identally touched the wound. She had to squat by the roadside and stood up after a long while. After getting up, she staggered a few steps before she could stand firm. A Maybach roared down the street and stopped less than 3 feet away from her. Terrence rolled down the car window. A few shadows were cast on Terrence¡¯s handsome face under the dim light. ¡°Get in the car,¡± he said icily. Alexa bent down and looked in through the window. She saw the gift box in the front passenger seat. The expression in Terrence¡¯s eyes became unnatural. He wanted to apologize to her, but he never had the chance to give her the gift. Perhaps, this was the time. Terrence moved his lips. ¡°You have something to doter?¡± Alexa said. Her eyes were shining. ¡°I¡¯ll leave you to it. I¡¯m going to the crossroads ahead and take a taxi.¡± He held back words that sprang to his lips. ¡°Get in the car.¡± ¡°No, no,¡± Alexa politely said and waved her hand. ¡°You should go now.¡± Terrence gritted his teeth and sighed with a resigned look. "Ale¡­¡± Before he could scold her, Alexa¡¯s phone rang. ¡°Sorry.¡± Alexa unhurriedly took out her phone and answered the call in front of him. ¡°Hello, Dr. Powell?¡± she said. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Now?¡± Her face grew grave. ¡°Now?¡± When Terrence heard this, his face immediately darkened. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± he asked directly. Alexa exchanged a few words of greeting with Kieran and then hung up, while Terrence looked quite gloomy. ¡°You should go now. I won¡¯t take up any more of your time.¡± Alexa didn¡¯t answer his question. ¡°What did he say?¡± ¡°There¡¯s something I need to deal with in the hospital. Dr. Powell wille to pick me up.¡± ¡°To pick you up?¡± Terrence said in anger. ¡°Why does he want toe to pick you up?¡± ¡°Some business in the hospital,¡± Alexa exined indifferently. ¡°It should be very urgent. He has She would rather let Kieran pick her Terrence could give her everything she wanted, but Kieran was just a doctor. Terrence¡¯s face was grave, and he wound up the car window without saying anything. With the roar of the engine, the car whizzed past Alexa. Alexa was choked by a cloud of dust that was stirred up by the car, and she coughed violently. When she opened her eyes, Terrence¡¯s car had disappeared without a trace. Kieran¡¯s car soon arrived. He changed his formal suit and was wearing a set of beige casual clothes, which made him look very gentle. He opened the car door for Alexa in a gentlemanly manner, smiling brightly. ¡°Ms. Duran, please.¡± After both of them got into the car, Alexa finally asked curiously. ¡°Where are we heading?¡± she said. ¡°We¡¯re not going to the hospital, aren¡¯t we?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Kieran answered. The car was traveling at an appropriate speed. ¡°I told my teacher¡¯s research team about your condition. They are now in New York.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± she answered. Alexa was nervous somehow. After arriving at the hotel, she thought that it was reasonable for her to be nervous. In a luxurious room, more than ten heavyweights in medicine sat in a circle, and they were dignified in their bearing. Kieran stood beside her. The man sitting in the main seat was his teacher, Harper Barston. Then he introduced the white-haired man to her. ¡°This is my teacher, Mr. Barston.¡± Though Alexa did not know much about the medical cycle, she knew that Harper was the foremost. doctor in the country. She had her heart in her mouth. She held her breath and greeted Harper. The doctors present were all amiable. Kieran was talking about her illness with them, and Alexa did not understand some of those terms, so she silently drank coffee. From Harper¡¯s words, she knew that she could be saved. She had been depressed for a long time, and now that was a weight off her mind. ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± Kieran said to her and tilted his head. ¡°We will make a detailed treatment n soon. You should eat something now.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Alexa replied with a smile. Suddenly, the phone in her pocket vibrated. Alexa immediately went to a quiet ce and saw the caller¡¯s name on the screen. She subconsciously bit her lip. Terrence was sitting in the car and stared at the entrance of the hotel. ¡°Where are you?¡± Hearing his unfriendly tone, Alexa put on a resigned look. ¡°I¡¯m with Dr. Powell.¡± ¡°Where are you?¡± ¡°We¡­¡± Alexa hesitated. ¡°We¡¯re discussing the treatment n with other doctors.¡± ¡°You¡¯re not suffering from a hopeless disease. Why do you need to discuss it?¡± Terrence raised his voice and said in a gloomy voice. ¡°What kind of treatment n needs to be discussed in the hotel?¡± Terrence had just questioned her, and then one of the doctors asked, ¡°Kieran, when will you get married?¡± Terrence heard it. He thought, get married? Alexa, well done! The blue veins stood out on his temples. He was in a burning fury. He mocked, ¡°Have you met his parents?¡± ¡°What are you talking about?¡± Alexa said in a low voice. ¡°Come downstairs now,¡± Terrence said in amanding tone. ¡°Or I will go to find you.¡± ¡°We¡¯re not finished yet¡­¡± ¡°Alexa Duran, I won¡¯t tolerate you and your lover!¡± Terrence¡¯s heart sank. ¡°You do whatever I wish. Do you understand?¡± Alexapsed into silence, and Terrence pinched the space between his eyebrows in frustration. ¡°Alexa, did you hear that?¡± ¡°I understand,¡± Alexa said in a low voice. ¡°I will go downstairs immediately. You don¡¯t have to get in.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Terrence hung up. Terrence angrily threw his phone away and banged the steering wheel to vent his anger. Why was he so angry? Terrence thought, Alexa is just a normal woman. Why could she make me so angry? I don¡¯t love her. Perhaps I just don¡¯t want to be humiliated by her doings. When he thought of this, Terrence held back his anger. But when he saw the two people walking side by side towards him, he found that his anger was aroused once more, and it was even intense. Kieran had noticed the Maybach parked by the side of the road, but he moved his eyes away calmly and came out with Alexa as if nothing had happened. Terrence mmed the door shut and leaned against the car. His slender figure burst out with an unprecedented sense of oppression. Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. Alexa called out to Kieran from a distance away, her face somewhat unnatural. ¡°Mr. Powell, there we are. Thank you,¡± Alexa said with difficulty. ¡°If you need it, I can send you back.¡± ¡°No need. Thank you. I¡¯ll go back with my husband,¡± Alexa said politely. Hearing Alexa call Terrence like this, Kieran no longer tried to persuade her. ¡°Okay.¡± Terrence wondered, what on earth are they talking about? They are so reluctant to part. Don¡¯t they see me? Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Chapter 22 Doesn¡¯t Brynlee Mind It? Terrence gritted his teeth and walked towards Alexa. When Kieran saw Terrence, coldness suddenly appeared in Kieran¡¯s eyes. ¡°Bye, Mr. Powell.¡± Alexa turned back and found that Kieran was standing straight in ce. ¡°Bye.¡± Kieran walked away indifferently, with no intention of confronting Terrence at all. Terrence had a sense of helplessness, feeling so upset. ¡°Alexa, you have bad taste.¡± Terrence appeared next to Alexa and ridiculed her. ¡°If you can¡¯t find any better man, I can introduce some to you. Do you like this type of person?¡± Terrence sneered. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Alexa frowned. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Why did Terrence always say something strange? ¡°I didn¡¯t say anything about Kieran. You don¡¯t have to be so protective of him.¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing going on between me and Mr. Powell. Don¡¯t think too much.¡± ¡°You keep mentioning ¡®Mr. Powell¡¯. Do you think that is convincing?¡± Terrence was so unreasonable that Alexa was a little angry. ¡°Then what should I call him? Honey?¡± Alexa retorted. Just as Alexa finished, Terrence¡¯s face immediately darkened. Terrence turned and left. Alexa curled her lips and jogged to catch up with him. Before her hand could touch the car door, the roar of the engine suddenly sounded, and the car brushed past her. If Alexa took a step forward, the wheels would roll over her feet. The noise was fleeting, and in just a few seconds, slie was the only one left standing there. Alexa was left alone. She was a little pitiful. Alexa sniffed and walked slowly to the bus stop in silence. Thest bus had gone, and Alexa was sitting alone in the cold seat, silently watching the traffic. There were so many people and cars in the world, but no one could take her home. The autumn night in New York was extremely cold and wet. Soon after, it started raining. When Alexa went out, she did not bring an umbre. Now, she was confined in this seat and could not move an inch. Terrence drove aimlessly on the road. The dense rain fell on the wind-blocking ss. He cursed in a low voice and immediately turned around. He thought he was crazy. Why would he argue with Alexa, who was sick? The rain outside the window drifted in and immediately evaporated into mist. The rainy night became hazier and hazier. Terrence made a lot of effort to find Alexa at the bus stop. Alexa sat in a daze, failing to notice that Terrence had found her. Terrence pressed the horn a few times, but it did not work. He then dialed Alexa. ¡°Hello?¡± Alexa sobbed. ¡°Get in the car!¡± Terrence said impatiently. ¡°You¡­¡± Alexa pondered for a moment. ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa did not get angry with Terrence anymore and obediently got into the car. But Alexa did not sit in the front passenger seat. She opened the door of the back seat. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Terrence asked in displeasure. ¡°I¡¯ll sit in the back.¡± Alexa said with a pale face, ¡°Won¡¯t Brynlee mind me sitting in the passenger seat?¡± Alexa lightly asked, and Terrence got stuck on the question. ¡°It¡¯s up to you,¡± Terrence then replied in an unfriendly tone. Alexa was ufortable from the cold rain, and she was not in the mood to care about Terrence. ¡°Your doctor is so busy. He doesn¡¯t even have time to send you off.¡± Alexa listlessly leaned against the window, feeling dizzy. ¡°Yes¡­¡± Alexa answered absent-mindedly. Terrence pulled his bow tie in frustration and opened the window wider. The cold raindrops drifted in through the window with the cold wind. Terrence nearly lost control, but his last bit of senses calmed him down. ¡°I told you not to mess around. If you want a doctor, I can give you one.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa¡¯s eyes were tightly closed, and her delicate white skin was slightly red. It was a cold night, but Alexa felt her body temperature rising rapidly. ¡°Alexa, what kind of attitude is that? Are you listening to me seriously?¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯m¡­¡± Alexa replied with a frown. She suffered a more splitting headache because of Terrence¡¯s noise. ¡°Can you stop talking?¡± Terrence thought, what? She has guts now. ¡°You¡­¡± Terrence was about to re up, but suddenly he realized something. He immediately checked the situation in the back seat through the rearview mirror. Alexa was listless. If Terrence had not forced her to talk to him, she would have fallen asleep. ¡°Hold on. We¡¯re going to the hospital now.¡± ¡°No need! I¡¯m fine,¡± Alexa declined. Terrence pursed his thin lips tightly. Anger choked his words. ¡°You think you are fine? Alexa, are you a child? You have to tell me if you feel unwell. Do you want to die?¡± Terrence asked. ¡°Alright.¡± Alexa felt like her head was about to explode. Since when did Terrence be so long-winded? ¡°I know. Can you stop talking about me?¡± Terrence snorted and did not say anything more. When they arrived at the hospital, Alexa refused all the checks and asked the doctor to give her an injection to bring down the fever and prescribe some medicine before begging Terrence to go home. ¡°Is anywhere else sick?¡± ¡°No. I cherish my life,¡± Alexa said sweetly. ¡°You better be.¡± Terrence continued, ¡°If your fever can¡¯t subside tomorrow morning, thene to the hospital for a check-up.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Looking at Alexa¡¯s innocent face, no matter how angry Terrence was, he could not bring himself to me her. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Terrence pinched the space between his eyebrows tiredly. Terrence sent Alexa back to Duckdale Vi. After entering the vi, Alexa found that he followed in. ¡°Are you going to stay here tonight?¡± Hearing her reluctant voice, Terrence felt displeased. ¡°Cannot I? I bought this house, so this is my home, Terrence said. Realizing that his words seemed to be full of aggressiveness, Terrence was a little regretful. But Alexa was not hurt by his words. ¡°Oh, alright. Did Brynlee know that you came here? Doesn¡¯t she mind it?¡± Alexa asked. Alexa¡¯s words were like an icicle, instantly extinguishing Terrence¡¯s enthusiasm. Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Chapter 23 I Have No Interest in You ¡°This is my home. Whether Ie or go, it¡¯s all up to me. It¡¯s none of your business,¡± Terrence said in a cold tone. ¡°Alright.¡± Alexa nodded and turned into her room indifferently. She had never felt that her illness was so serious. Everything made her feel a deep sense of powerlessness and exhaustion. Terrence walked behind her and did not know that Alexa had such a heavy heart. It had just been a few days. Terrence felt that Alexa seemed to have many more secrets. Alexa became harder, and she targeted him. At the thought of this, Terrence was annoyed. He stubbornly took off his wet coat and threw it on the sofa. Then he coldly ordered. ¡°Run a bath for me.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Alexa said without looking back. ¡°Wait a moment.¡± ¡°What kind of attitude is that? Are you a servant?¡± Terrence frowned. Alexa sighed heavily and stopped on the stairs. Alexa found that Terrence was a strange person. Alexa did whatever he said, but in the end, it was her fault. Alexa was sick, and she needed people to take care of her, but instead, she had to show consideration for Terrence¡¯s mood. ¡°Whatever you say,¡± Alexa said. ¡°Alexa!¡± ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°Do you think you can do whatever you want just because I tolerate you?¡± ¡°No, I don¡¯t.¡± Alexa chuckled, ¡°Why would I think so? You helped me when the Duran Group fell. I should be grateful for your kindness for the rest of my life.¡± Terrence had never heard anything more sarcastic than this! ¡°Does it mean that no matter who it is, as long as one gives you hundreds of thousands of dors, you will sell yourself?¡± Alexa fell silent¡­ It was a long silence¡­ Alexa was stunned. She stared at Terrence¡¯s handsome and angry face woodenly for a long time. ¡°It will be only two years.¡± With that, Alexa went upstairs without looking back. Rage surged through Terrence. His eyes turned grim. He waved away the bottles on the table. With a loud ¡°whoosh¡±, the exquisite living room was filled with wine, and the ss exploded all over. It would just be two years¡­. Yes, no matter how powerful Terrence was, Alexa only belonged to him for two years. Terrence didn¡¯t want to end this marriage, but ¡°Mrs. Ramsey¡± would dump him. When Alexa went downstairs, the living room was a mess. Terrence sat next to the wine cab and gulped down a bottle of whiskey. There were seven or eight empty bottles by his feet. ¡°Why did you drink so much?¡± As Alexa spoke, she cleaned up the mess. ¡°Strong liquor will hurt your stomach. Do you want to die?¡± ¡°What has it got to do with you?¡± Terrence said in a bad mood. When he got up, he staggered. ¡°Eh!¡± Alexa cried out in panic and immediately went up to help him. ¡°I¡¯ll get the chef to make your some soup to help you sober up.¡± ¡°No need for the chef.¡± Terrence pushed Alexa away and pointed to the kitchen. ¡°Go and cook for me.¡± ¡°I cannot.¡± ¡°Learn it.¡± ¡°Are you drunk?¡± ¡°Help me to the bathroom.¡± It seemed that Alexa could not get rid of the hot potato. Alexa had no choice but to support Terrence and slowly walked to the bathroom. Terrence didn¡¯t stand on ceremony at all and leaned on Alexa. Alexa had to bear Terrence¡¯s weight with her thin shoulder and back. In this way, they were closer and more intimate, leaving no gap. Fortunately, Terrence did not cause any more trouble for Alexa. After cing him in the bathroom, Alexa immediately left. ¡°Be careful.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± A dull sound came from the bathroom, and Alexa rxed a lot. ¡°I¡­ will go and learn how to make the soup.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa slowly came to the kitchen. Facing the tableware in front of her, she sighed heavily. ¡°But I don¡¯t know anything.¡± Alexa read through the tutorial on her phone and finally had the courage to start. Terrence took a cold shower and became much more clear-headed. Terrence remembered that Alexa had just said that she would make him some soup to help him sober up. He was doubtful, so he went to the kitchen. Alexa was busy processing the ingredients when Terrence silently appeared at the door. She was shocked. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Alexa red at Terrence coquettishly, and Terrence¡¯s expression inexplicably eased a lot. He said disdainfully, ¡°What are you doing? There is such a strong smell.¡± ¡°Ah? Is it burned?¡± Alexa immediately lifted the lid, but Terrence stopped her. ¡°You were born with a silver spoon. Get out. I¡¯ll do it,¡± Terrenceined as he put on his apron. ¡°Oh.¡± Alexa responded, stuck out her tongue, and quickly went out. Terrence was irritable and fickle, and he always had some strange requirements. Alexa didn¡¯t know how to handle such a hard man. Alexa walked quickly, afraid that Terrence would ask her to do something. Terrence, lid. *** who was in the kitchen, saw the finished product made by Alexa and calmly closed the pot It was just as Terrence expected. After drinking a cup of honey water, Terrence slowly went to the bedroom where Alexa was. Alexa was just about to change into her pajamas when Terrence suddenly barged in. Alexa immediately stopped taking off her clothes in horror. ¡°Get out of here!¡± Terrence leaned against the door in a calm andposed manner, without the slightest awareness of being guarded against. ¡°Go back to the master bedroom.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Alexa said defensively, ¡°I feel good staying here.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not about your feelings, but mine.¡± Terrence pointed at himself. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Although Alexa had no experience in a certain aspect, Rebekah had told her a lot about the sexual life between husband and wife. Now that Terrence made such a strange request, Alexa couldn¡¯t help but think in that direction. Color flooded her pale face. ¡°Alexa, what are you thinking about? You think I will do something to you, don¡¯t you?¡± Terrence looked at Alexa curiously. ¡°What? I¡¯m not interested in you,¡± Alexa said weakly. Hearing this, Terrence chuckled and closed the door. Alexa saw him walking over leisurely and fell into silence. ¡°Whether you are interested or not, we will know that after we try. Why are you acting like this? Are you experienced?¡± Terrence whispered like a demon. Terrence was certain that as pure as Alexa was, she would not say such words. So, someone must have taught Alexa. Terrence¡¯s eyes turned grim, and he took a step forward. Alexa tripped over the edge of the bed and before she could sit up straight, Terrence came over and Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Chapter 24 Mrs. Ramsey Will Pick You Up Terrence did not seem to take her words seriously. After Alexa finished, he did not let go of her. Instead, he got them closer. Alexa tried to struggle, but the difference in strength between men and women was too great. Her wrist was in Terrence¡¯s hand. ¡°You can do whatever you want.¡± Alexa said in despair and closed her eyes as if she was ready to die. ¡°You said that I can do whatever I want?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Alexa thought that this would make Terrence lose interest, but unexpectedly, Terrence undid her cor. Alexa¡¯s delicate skin was exposed to the air, and from time to time, Terrence¡¯s thin and cold. fingertips would touch it. It was as if there were thousands of electric currents running through Alexa¡¯s body, numbing her. ¡°Terrence, you¡­¡± Alexa felt that Terrence was touching her wound. ¡°You didn¡¯t change your medicine after getting wet. Do you want it to get infected?¡± Terrence lectured Alexa and fetched the medicine box to handle her wound. ¡°You are troublesome.¡± Hearing him nagging, Alexa asked tentatively. ¡°I can do it myself. I won¡¯t trouble you anymore.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Terrence was even more displeased. ¡°Alexa, you have caused a lot of trouble. for me. And I had to clean the mess.¡± ¡°I am sorry. I won¡¯t do it again,¡± Alexa said sincerely. ¡°Really?¡± Terrence snorted, ¡°Don¡¯t make it sound so nice. I¡¯ll be d if you don¡¯t bother me for the rest of my life.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t¡­¡± Alexa¡¯s heart, which was about to jump out of her chest, returned to its original position. ¡°I won¡¯t stay in the Ramsey family forever,¡± Alexa said calmly. ¡°I need to move on alone.¡± ¡°Boring.¡± Terrence said in a slightly annoyed tone. After bandaging Alexa¡¯s wounds, he left the room. Alexay on the bed and slowed her breathing. Soon, she heard the roar of the engine from downstairs. Alexa walked barefoot to the balcony, just in time to see Terrence¡¯s car drive out of the garage arrogantly. The effects of the alcohol hadpletely faded away, but Terrence felt that he was in an extremely chaotic madness. The mountains ovepped, and the night was ridiculously dark. When Terrence truly found the light, Alexa stood at the end of the mountain. Alexa¡­ The thin and sickly girl was like a golden hairpin, deeply embedded in Terrence¡¯s flesh and blood. In Gn Bar¡­ In the most luxurious private room, the general manager, Aron Lambert, was standing in front of the table, trembling with fear. He carefully nodded and smiled. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, what brings you here?¡± Although Aron and Terrence grew up together, after twenty years, Aron hadn¡¯t seen through Terrence. Moreover, it was well known in the circle that Terrence didn¡¯t smoke, drink, gamble, or fool around. This was the first time that Terrence came here without drinking or talking about business. Aron guessed that something had happened. ¡°Terrence, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Aron patted his chest and said. ¡°Tell me. I will try my best to help you.¡± ¡°Do you have any soup for a hangover?¡± Terrence asked while rubbing his forehead. Aron heard Terrence clearly, but Aron could not understand what Terrence meant at all. What was wrong with Terrence? ¡°Mr. Ramsey¡­¡± Aronughed dryly. ¡°This is a bar, a ce to sell wine. No one has ordered such a thing.¡± Terrence cast a cold stare at Aron, and Aron shuddered. ¡°If you don¡¯t have it, then go and learn how to cook it.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Aron nodded repeatedly. ¡°I¡¯ll go and learn right away. Mr. Ramsey, how much do you need?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want it now.¡± Aron was speechless. Aron did not dare to ask for trouble and immediately retreated. In therge private room, only Terrence was left sitting quietly on the sofa.. Terrence thought, she may have slept soundly at home. Without me, she will be free! Terrence opened a bottle of wine in frustration, and his eyebrows did not rx at all. Not long after, Aron returned and opened the door a crack. He stood at the door and looked inside. ¡°Terrence, I feel ill at ease while you are left alone. So, I called Mrs. Ramsey over.¡± Mrs. Ramsey? Terrence was filled with ¡°nervousness¡±. He didn¡¯t even bat an eyelid as he handled orders worth tens of billions of dors. But now, as Aron mentioned Mrs. Ramsey, Terrence was nervous and uneasy. It was sote. Was Alexa willing toe over? ¡°Let her in.¡± ¡°Got it.¡± As expected, someone could handle Terrence! Aron was delighted as he respectfully invited the one in. ¡°Terrence.¡± Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. When Terrence heard the soft and tender voice, his expression immediately froze. ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°I received a call from Mr. Lambert. So, I rushed over from the set.¡± Brynlee¡¯s tone was flustered, and it was obvious that she came in a hurry. ¡°What happened to you? Why are you here?¡± Terrence¡¯s face eased, but there was a touch of alienation. ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Hearing his casual words, Brynlee was unhappy. Terrence was hiding something from Brynlee. ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Brynlee lowered her voice and crouched down in front of Terrence, reaching out to hold his palm. ¡°Terrence, let¡¯s go home. Okay?¡± Terrence held the wine bottle with his other hand and had no intention of letting go. ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to send you back.¡± ¡°No. Let¡¯s go back together. Did I do something wrong that made you angry?¡± Brynlee clenched her grasp on Terrence¡¯s hand. ¡°No.¡± Brynlee turned her face and rubbed against the back of Terrence¡¯s hand. She sobbed, ¡°You are angry with me.¡± Brynlee was confident that she could take Terrence down. After all, this trick never failed to work on him. ¡°Alright¡­ It¡¯s my fault. Let¡¯s go,¡± Terrence had to say so. ¡°Okay.¡± Brynlee gave a big smile. She couldn¡¯t wait to leave while holding Terrence¡¯s arm. Aron stood guard by the door. When he saw theme out, he immediately went up to them with a bright smile. But Aron felt that Terrence¡¯s face seemed even gloomier. Aron thought he didn¡¯t do anything wrong. ¡°Mr. Lambert, thank you for calling me.¡± Brynlee didn¡¯t bother to hide the joy on her face. ¡°I will take Terrence back now.¡± ¡°Oh, okay! Mrs. Ramsey, thank you for your hard work,¡± Aron smiled. What are you talking about?¡± Brynlee nced at Terrence bashfully. Even though there was no smile on his face, she was not embarrassed because of it. As long as the people around Terrence acknowledged Brynlee, she was not worried that others would snatch away the title of ¡°Mrs. Ramsey¡±. Brynlee was confident that the only person in Terrence¡¯s heart would always be her! ¡°Aron. Call Alexa,¡± Terrence said with a gloomy face. Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Do You Fall in Love With Her? What? Brynlee and Aron were shocked. Brynlee¡¯s face turned ashen as if she had been pped on the spot. ¡°Terrence ¡­ what did you say?¡± Terrence ignored her and ordered Aron coldly, ¡°Hurry up.¡± ¡°Oh¡­ Okay.¡± Aron was regretful and immediately called Alexa. Aron thought, I¡¯m doomed. I did such a stupid thing! Brynlee didn¡¯t give up and asked, ¡°Terrence, cannot I send you Terrence lowered his eyes and slowly pushed her hand away. ¡°I haven¡¯t divorced Alexa yet. She is Mrs. Ramsey.¡± ¡°Terrence, what do you mean?¡± Brynlee burst into tears. ¡°You fell in love with her, right? You don¡¯t want me anymore, right? Terrence, you promised me before.¡± Terrence¡¯s expression was grim, and Brynlee could not guess what he was thinking at all. ¡°Can you wait a little longer? She and I¡­¡± Terrence whispered. ¡°I see!¡± Brynlee interrupted Terrence resolutely, ¡°I will wait for you. As long as you love me, I will not be afraid of anything.¡± Brynlee was afraid that Terrence would say something she could not ept. Brynlee had waited for Terrence for six years, but in the end, she had to give in to Alexa. Brynlee thought, I¡¯m from the powerful Walton family. Alexa doesn¡¯t deserve Terrence. ¡°Terrence, I love you. I fell in love with you since I saved you that year.¡± Brynlee kissed Terrence affectionately. As Brynlee mentioned this matter, Terrence¡¯s cold eyes instantly softened. ¡°I will marry you. This is my promise to you.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± back?¡± No matter how unhappy Brynlee was, she could only let go of Terrence¡¯s hand and leave alone. Brynlee knew she could not anger Terrence. She knew Terrence well. Chanter 24 N? V?.. Call Brynlee was Intelligent, and Alexa was not her opponent. Aron finally got in touch with Alexa and begged her toe over. Terrence sat quietly, and Aron stood aside in frustration. Aron did not even have the courage to speak. ¡°Terrence, Mrs. Ramsey hase.¡± ¡°Shees? Alright.¡± Terrence¡¯s slender index finger tapped on the table. His emotions could not be seen. Terrence put people around him under inexplicable pressure. Aron swallowed and felt his back constantly sweating cold sweat. ¡°Do you know who Mrs. Ramsey is now?¡± ¡°I do.¡± Aron¡¯s smile froze. ¡°I¡¯m inconsiderate. Mrs. Ramsey ising. I¡¯ll go out and pick her up.¡± It was said that it was dangerous to be with great men. Aron finally experienced it today. Although Aron knew that Terrence was married, the legendary ¡°Mrs. Ramsey¡± never showed up during their private gathering. Everyone in the circle knew that the one in Terrence¡¯s heart was Brynlee. But what was the situation now? Aron came out with a sad face, and the car from Duckdale Vi just stopped at the door. After Alexa received the call, she simply dressed up and left. When Aron, who had seen countless women, saw Alexa, he stopped in his tracks. In a simple ck woolen coat, Alexa wore her long hair loose. Her fair face had no makeup, but she was beautiful like a goddess. It had been two years. Alexa became even more graceful and beautiful and even had a bit of mature charm.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey!¡± ¡°Nice to meet you. I¡¯m here to pick up my husband, Alexa said politely. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, my name is Aron Lambert.¡± Aron handed over his business card with a smile. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, wee.¡± Terrence came out of the private room and saw Alexa taking Aron¡¯s business card and talking to him with a smile. ¡°Ahem¡­¡± Terrence clenched his hand and covered his mouth while coughing lightly. He stared coldly at Aron. Aron understood and immediately dodged. Terrence looked at Alexa and leaned aside. He said sternly, ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°Oh, Mr. Lambert asked me toe.¡± Afraid that Terrence would misunderstand, Alexa exined. ¡°I just called Brynlee, but she didn¡¯t answer.¡± Alexa¡¯s eyes were clear. ¡°So, I came..¡± ¡°Your tone shows that you are unwilling toe.¡± ¡°No.¡± ¡°Even if I die by the side of the road, you will not care.¡± Alexa was lost for words. Alexa did not dare to talk to Terrence. No matter what she said, Terrence would use her. Aron was surprised to hear Terrence¡¯s ¡°magical¡± speech. The dignified president of Hudson Group came to Aron in the middle of the night to cause a ruckus just because he quarreled with his wife. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey. Hurry up and bring Terrence back. The hangover soup that we made is not as good. as yours.¡± Alexa did not understand what Aron meant. Alexa only felt that these men from aristocratic families did not understand how hard life was. She was a patient, but they asked her to clean up the mess. Alexa thought, Mr. Ramsey, what are you thinking? ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Alexa said sweetly. Terrence arrogantly and coldly left. Alexa followed behind him, looking very much like his follower. They remained silent on the way. When they got into the car, Terrence inexplicably ordered. ¡°Go drive.¡± ¡°There¡¯s a driver.¡± It¡¯s not working time. I¡¯m not an evil boss,¡± Terrence said righteously. ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°I used to be your driver. Can¡¯t you drive me home for once?¡± What a weird and unreasonable request! But at the thought that Terrence drank, Alexa felt that all of this became reasonable. Before she agreed, Terrence had sat in the passenger seat. ¡°Hurry up.¡± Alexa did not dare to say ¡°no¡± to Terrence¡¯s order and could only sit in the driver¡¯s seat of his limited luxury car in fear. ¡°Ask me when you don¡¯t know.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Alexa replied briefly, but there was a sense of nervousness in her tone. Terrence didn¡¯t show anything on his face, but he ruthlessly ridiculed himself. Alexa was his legitimate wife, but he had to use this method when he wanted to talk to her. ¡°Terrence, the lights were red ahead.¡± ¡°Terrence, should I slow down?¡± ¡°Terrence, can I turn the steering wheel?¡± ¡°Terrence¡­¡¯ ¡°Alexa,¡± Terrence called out slowly. ¡°Ah?¡± ¡°What kind of attitude is this? Is this how you consult others? What did you call me?¡± ¡°How should I address you?¡± Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Chapter 26 You¡¯re Annoying ¡°What do you think?¡± ¡°I think¡­¡± Alexa thought about it seriously for a long time and said more respectfully, ¡°Mr. Ramsey?¡± Terrence thought, what a stupid woman. Terrence rubbed his eyebrows in frustration. He had never felt so tired before. ¡°Idiot!¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you an idiot? I can¡¯t find anyone more stupid than you,¡± Terrence said coldly. ¡°I am not stupid,¡± Alexa said bitterly. ¡°Can you be a little smarter?¡± ¡°I am not stupid.¡± ¡°Come on,¡± Terrence retorted and could not help but say, ¡°I know you well.¡± ¡°Terrence, are you bored? I¡¯m driving. Don¡¯t disturb me.¡± Alexa frowned. ¡°What?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you feel that you are annoying?¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± Terrence¡¯s brows furrowed. Alexa realized that she had provoked him and softened her tone. ¡°You should be self-aware.¡± ¡°Nobody thinks I¡¯m annoying,¡± Terrence said with a cold snort. Alexa was speechless. She never thought that Terrence could actually be so childish. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you let Brynleee pick you up?¡± ¡°What?¡± Alexa pouted and immediately changed the topic. ¡°Exin it yourself. I¡¯ve never thought about breaking the rtionship between you two.¡± ¡°Are you worried about me?¡± Terrence had a mocking expression on his face, and there was faint anger in his deep eyes. ¡°We¡¯re here.¡± Alexa parked the car and got out of the car, avoiding the topic. Terrence sat in the passenger seat and looked at her back. His face was gloomy. It seemed as if he knew nothing about Alexa. She silently followed everything he requested, but Terrence could feel that Alexa had an extremely rebellious heart. He followed her into the vi, and Alexa walked around in the kitchen, soon bringing him a ss of warm water. ¡°I only know how to make honey water. Do you want to drink it?¡± Terrence gave her a look, and Alexa suddenly said with emotion. ¡°In the past, when my brother came back drunk, I would make him honey water.¡± Hearing this, Terrence frowned in an instant. Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org. Did she say that on purpose? ¡°Don¡¯t you know that I hate sweet things the most?¡± He coldly refused and left with a disgusted expression. Alexa was stunned as she stayed in ce and did note back to her senses for a long time. Why did Terrence suddenly get angry? She did not ask further and drank the ss of cold honey water in her hand. Alexa used to like it very much, but now she felt it was too sweet. Alexa felt a little nauseous and quietly went back to her room. The next morning, when Alexa came downstairs, Terrence was leisurely eating breakfast. Thinking that Terrence was disgusted with her asking for his whereabouts, Alexa sat on the other side of the table as if nothing had happened and did not say a word to him. Terrence¡¯s gaze seemed to be fixed on her, but he just enjoyed breakfast as if no one else was around and had no intention of speaking. The two of them sat opposite each other, like two strangers who had never met before. Mina instructed the servants in the kitchen to bring Alexa¡¯s breakfast over. Today¡¯s breakfast was a beef sandwich with fried eggs and sd. Smelling the oil, Alexa forced a smile. ¡°Mina, do you have oatmeal?¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, you can¡¯t eat oatmeal. You¡¯ve lost a lot of weight recently,¡± Mina said in worry. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. I feel good.¡± Hearing Alexa say this, Mina shook her head. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, this is the recipe that Mr. Ramsey specially invited nutritionists to customize for you.¡± Since Mina said so, Alexa understood. Terrence¡¯s words were the final decision here, so how could anyone dare to disobey him? Alexa did not want to make things difficult for Mina, so she forced herself to eat a few mouthfuls of sd. ¡°I¡¯m done eating.¡± Terrence nced at the food that had not been eaten and frowned. Seeing that she was dressed very delicately today, Terrence hesitated, but he still pretended to ask casually. ¡°Are you going out?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa seemed to suddenly remember something. ¡°Oh! Should I report it to you?¡± No matter how normal it was, when she said it simply, it would always be a little weird. Terrence patiently asked, ¡°Where do you want to go?¡± ¡°I have two friends who came to New York. I¡¯m going to meet them.¡± ¡°Are they all girls?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± He nodded and looked like he did not care about it. ¡°Where are you going?¡± Alexa said a few ce. and Terrence listened silently, not immediately expressing his attitude. Then, he put down the tableware and elegantly picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth. ¡°These ces can¡¯t be finished in a day.¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes were silent and calm, but there was a strong sense of oppression. ¡°Or are you not nning toe back today?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± ¡°Contact the driver yourself. You muste back tonight,¡± Terrence said. ¡°Oh, okay,¡± Alexa said obediently. Terrence originally intended to continue asking, but he found that he had no reason to ask her at all. Was he qualified to ask about her life? ¡°I will call you if there is anything.¡± ¡°I am busy. I don¡¯t have time to answer the phone,¡± Terrence said with a gloomy face. ¡°OK¡­¡± Alexa stuck out her tongue. She slipped away and happily went out. Terrence looked at her back and instantly felt that he seemed a little pitiful. What a ridiculous idea! Other than Brynlee, there was no other woman in the world that deserved his attention. Terrence quickly dispelled those strange thoughts and returned to being cold. Alexa took a taxi to the airport, and the two people she was waiting for just came out of the hall. ¡°Maeve! Carissa!¡± ¡°Alexa!¡± The two girls not far away eximed in unison and walked toward Alexa with bright smiles. After so many years, Alexa was in a good mood for a long time after meeting with her two best friends at the university. ¡°Alexa, are youing alone?¡± Carissa Barrell took off her sunsses and teased, ¡°Where¡¯s the CEO?¡± ¡°What CEO?¡± ¡°No matter what, the two of us are considered your family. He¡¯s not evening to see us?¡± Maeve Atley asked. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not talk about that.¡± Alexa changed the topic at the right time. ¡°It¡¯s been a long time.¡± ¡°Alexa, do you know who we met in France?¡± Carissa asked mysteriously. ¡°Who is it?¡± ¡°Brenton.¡± When this name was mentioned, Alexa¡¯s face instantly became somewhat flushed red. ¡°How is he?¡± Alexa asked, pretending to be surprised. Carissa said honestly, ¡°Brenton is a singer now. I heard that he has already written a lot of songs, but he has been staying abroad. I don¡¯t know if he wille back.¡± Chapter 27 Chapter 27 Chapter 27 I Miss You Very Much ¡°That¡¯s good. He finally realized his dream,¡± Alexa said with a faint smile. Maeve immediately noticed that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing. Even if Brenton and Alexa used to love each other deeply, Alexa was now ¡°Mrs. Ramsey.¡± ¡°I¡¯m so hungry. Let¡¯s go have dinner.¡± Maeve warmly held Alexa¡¯s arm, and the three of them took a taxi and left the airport. In Hudson Group. Terrence ended a meeting, and Edwin reported the itinerary behind him. The entire day was as busy as usual, but Terrence suddenly spoke. ¡°I¡¯m free tonight. I have something to do and need to go home.¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, tonight¡¯s arrangement is to have dinner with Ms. Walton. Do you need to cancel it?¡± Hearing this, Terrence paused. ¡°Forget it.¡± he turned around and said, ¡°Make the arrangements as usual.¡± still need to go home?¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, do you ¡°Call Alexa and tell her toe back early.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Was that why Terrence wanted to go back? Edwin realized that he couldn¡¯t understand Terrence¡¯s thoughts. Recently, Terrence often mentioned Alexa. The three of them wandered around, and the sky gradually darkened. Obviously, Carissa still wanted to have some fun. ¡°My brother just opened a bar. Let¡¯s go and drink.¡± N?velDrama.Org owns all content. Maeve immediately agreed, but Alexa held her phone and stood to the side without making a sound. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Alexa?¡± Carissa realized something was wrong. ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°I have something to do at home. I might have to go back early today.¡± ¡°Why is it so sudden?¡± Maeve was also very surprised. They had known Alexa or so many years, and they all knew very well what kind of character she had. On this whole day, Alexa rarely mentioned Terrence in front of them. Carissa immediately guessed that the problem might be with Terrence. ¡°Did Terrence make things difficult for you?¡± Carissa asked seriously. ¡°Come on. I can¡¯t believe he¡¯s still so old-fashioned.¡± ¡°Carissa.¡± Alexa gently grabbed her hand. ¡°He did not make things difficult for me. He protected the Duran family for me at that time. It is right for me to do these things.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t we make a bet?¡± Maeve hooked her neck. ¡°What do you want to bet on?¡± ¡°We can bet on whether he wille to you,¡± Maeve said confidently. ¡°What if hees? It means that he might really have some feelings about you in his heart.¡± ¡°What if he does note?¡± Carissa said, ¡°If he doesn¡¯t show up, you¡¯ll have to pack your things and sign a divorce when the marriage contract expires. Then, you can start a magnificent and dazzling independent life. Even if he is Terrence, he is not qualified to trap you for the rest of your life.¡± What Carissa said was also what Alexa had once thought. However, she could only stall time day by day. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about it. Maybe he¡¯s having fun with some other girls right now.¡± Maeve hit the nail on the head. Alexa came back to her senses. ¡°Let¡¯s go drink!¡± On the other hand, Edwin hung up the phone with a poker face and stood beside Terrence to report in a low voice. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, I still can¡¯t get through to Mrs. Ramsey¡­¡± ¡°Can¡¯t get through?¡± Terrence gloomily asked. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Go and investigate,¡± Terrence gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Bring her back to me now!¡± ¡°Understood.¡± Edwin left nervously, and Brynlee just came out of the locker room. ¡°Terrence, does this dress look good?¡± Terrence¡¯s expression in ¡®antly softened, and he absent-mindedly praised, ¡°It looks good.¡± ¡°I have a friend who opened a music bar. I¡¯ve asked a few friends. Can we go there tonight? It¡¯ll be fun.¡± This was a good opportunity for her to meet Terrence¡¯s friends, and Brynlee had specially prepared a lot for this. Terrence originally hated these noisy ces, but Brynlee proposed to go, and he had topromise unconditionally. At this time, Alexa happened to choose a booth. Carissa ordered some low-alcohol beverages and enthusiastically introduced tonight¡¯s singers. ¡°He¡¯s Finnegan Brickley. I really like him!¡± Carissa said excitedly. ¡°Not only is he talented, but he is also charming. I made my brother spend a lot of effort inviting him here.¡± The three of them sat in the most eye-catching ce and were extremely beautiful. Not long after, a lot of handsome men went straight over and tried to chat them up. Terrence stepped into the hall under the escort of the crowd. At a nce, he saw Alexa surrounded by many men, and she did not drive them away. Did she enjoy this feeling very much? Terrence walked over to them with a cold expression. When Brynlee saw Alexa, she instantly felt very upset. ¡°Terrence, let¡¯s go.¡± The few people behind them also noticed Alexa, but no one spoke out. Terrence stood where he was. He narrowed his eyes dangerously, and his entire body exuded a chilly aura. Alexa noticed the people at the door. She inadvertently looked up and happened to meet Terrence¡¯s malicious gaze. Alexa immediately froze, turned around, and went to the bathroom with a pale face. Was Alexa afraid of him? Terrence frowned. Terrence sneered, grabbed Brynlee¡¯s hand, and went to the other booth. Alexa walked far away, and when she turned back to confirm that Terrence had not caught up, she calmed down a little. What was there to be a raid of? Why was she afraid? Alexa realized that she was really timid. She didn¡¯t openly flirt with the other men outside, but how about Terrence? It was as if she had cheated on him. Alexa rummaged in her handbag for a long time, but her hand was shaking so much that she could not even hold the lipstick steadily. She sighed in frustration and walked back with a haggard face. When she was passing by the corner, a figure suddenly rushed out and pulled her over. Alexa was caught off guard and was thrown to the wall. Then, the strong body pressed over. Alexa smelled the scent on his body and confirmed that the person who came was Terrence. ¡°Hey!¡± Terrence smelled her neck, and his lips almost touched her skin. Alexa was so frightened that she could not help but flinch, and every nerve was conveying fear. ¡°Terrence, let me go first.¡± Her voice was already trembling slightly. From beginning to end, Terrence didn¡¯t listen to her at all. Terrence did not say a word. His gaze seemed to be carrying out a final judgment on her. The atmosphere between them gradually turned cold, and Alexa did not dare to say a word. At that moment, the singing in the front hall suddenly stopped and was reced by an affectionate voice. ¡°The next song is a song that my good friend, Brenton, dedicated to his love in this life. He hopes that one day he can personally say to that girl, ¡®I miss you very much. Alexa, I¡¯m sorry.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, cheers and apuse came, but Alexa was stunned. Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Chapter 28 Her Ex Terrence smiled instead. There was a sharp look hidden under the gentleness. ¡°Is it you? Alexa?¡± he asked lightly. ¡°Yes¡­¡± Alexa murmured, and she felt that her neck seemed to be tightly grabbed. ¡°Is it Brenton? The son of the Darrell family?¡± Terrence smiled yfully, ¡°What¡¯s his rtionship with you?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± ¡°Lovers?¡± Terrence hit the nail on the head. The veins on the back of his hand showed how furious he was at this moment. He was like a fool, tricked by her for two whole years. The night that the Duran Group dered bankruptcy was just when he needed a wife. Alexa begged him to save the Duran Group, and he made use of this opportunity to marry her. Terrence had always thought that this was a matter of mutual consent, but Alexa¡¯s past was not as clear and simple as he thought. Brenton was clearly obsessed with her, but she hid everything and never told him about these things. Terrence felt that he was really just a puppet who was only worthy of being yed by her in the hand. ¡°Do you enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by men?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t.¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t?¡± Terrence looked down at her with a fierce smile. ¡°Kieran is not enough, and you still can¡¯t forget Brenton, right?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not what you think!¡± Terrence gritted his teeth and was silent for a long time. ¡°Alexa, aren¡¯t you being too shameless?¡± After experiencing these things tonight, she also did not know what was going on. ¡®Terrence had naturally regarded her as a guilty person. Alexa tried her best to hold back her tears as her eyes turned red. ¡°Alexa!¡± Not far away, Carissa¡¯s voice was heard. Alexa was shocked to the point of pushing Terrence. ¡°Get out of the way!¡± Carissa lowered her voice and said. Terrence did not move, and his malicious gaze did not move away from Alexa. Carissa¡¯s voice was getting closer and closer, and Alexa was so scared that she panicked in her heart and lowered herself to dignity in a humble manner. ¡°Terrence, I beg you. I¡¯ll exin it to you when we get back,¡± Alexa panted. ¡°Do you think I¡¯ll give you the chance to miss your ex? Alexa, don¡¯t you feel ashamed?¡± Terrence sneered. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. It seemed that Terrence was not going to let her go. Alexa was desperate as she let go and silently shed tears. ¡°Alexa, are you there?¡± The moment Carissa was about toe over, Terrence suddenly grabbed Alexa¡¯s wrist and led her out the back door. Tonight¡¯s New York suddenly cooled down significantly, and Alexa was taken away by him without having the time to take her coat. A cold wind swept over and she immediately felt nauseous. Terrence strode forward without a word and suddenly felt the strength in his hand be heavier. He turned back. Alexa squatted down and retched for a while. Terrence handed over a handkerchief in disgust and stood to the side. ¡°Why are you dressed like this? Who do you want to seduce?¡± Alexa was forced to cry about the ufortable feeling. The red eyes and the pale face contrasted, forming a morbid beauty. Terrence had a poker face and looked away. He was so angry that he did not want to care about her at all. Alexa retched for a long time. Her stomach was empty, but the difort had not subsided for a long time. She got up weakly and stumbled. One of the heels was broken and the foot was stained with blood. Alexa thought, these heels are so expensive. How could I be so unlucky? Alexa felt a burst of irritation in her heart and even wanted to cry. She didn¡¯t do anything wrong. Why did it feel like the whole world was going against her? Terrence waited for her at the side for a long time, watching as she took off her heels and limped forward barefooted. ¡°Alexa! What are you doing?¡± ¡°My heels are broken. I¡¯ll take it back and find someone to fix it,¡± Alexa said calmly. ¡°Is this what I¡¯m asking?¡± After he finished speaking, he stepped forward, grabbed the heels she was carrying, and threw them into the trash can beside her. Alexa frowned and was a little angry, but before she could say anything, Terrence picked her up by the waist. ¡°You can beg me to help you.¡± ¡°Put me down. I can walk.¡± ¡°You are very skilled at begging others. You won¡¯t beg me, will you?¡± The two of them did not talk about the same thing at all, but Terrence chattered on and on, seemingly having a lot of words to tell her. ¡°Sorry.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t know Brenton would¡­¡± ¡°I have no interest in your past. I don¡¯t care who you meet or what you have to do with him.¡± Terrence interrupted her coldly. Terrence¡¯s attitude changed too quickly, and Alexa could not recover for a while. She didn¡¯t say anything and obediently leaned against his chest. Terrence¡¯s embrace was especially warm. This bit of warmth caused countless greed to arise in Alexa¡¯s heart, but she knew it was impossible. 2.5 There was a gap between her and Terrence that she could never cross. It wasn¡¯t that she couldn¡¯t do it, but that she was unworthy. He was a son from a rich family, and he was destined to be a man with great power, dazzling like the sun. She only relied on him to be able to survive in this world. ¡°Terrence!¡± Brynlee shouted behind them and instantly shocked Terrence. Brynlee came over vigntly and saw them, and her heart immediately burned with jealousy. She knew that Alexa would not let go of any chance to seduce Terrence. Suddenly, she covered her mouth and eximed, ¡°What happened to Alexa? I¡¯ll get someone to send her to the hospital immediately.¡± ¡°Her foot is injured. It¡¯s inconvenient for her to walk. I¡¯ll send her to the car,¡± Terrence exined patiently. ¡°Alright,¡± Brynlee said worriedly, ¡°Edwin, hurry up and send Alexa to the hospital. Alexa¡¯s injury is very serious.¡± Edwin didn¡¯t know what to do. Edwin looked at Terrence awkwardly. Terrence carefully ced Alexa on the seat and stood by the door, asking. ¡°Do you want me to go with you?¡± Seeing Brynlee¡¯s gloomy face, Alexa suddenly felt pleased in her heart. ¡°No. Thanks. I just don¡¯t like the smell of the hospital. You don¡¯t have to stay for me. Besides, Brynlee will be upset,¡± Alexa said. ¡°Alexa, don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t,¡± Brynlee forced out a smile. ¡°Of course, Brynlee. I¡¯ve always been generous.¡± Alexa said and looked at Terrence. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, you can stay here with Brynlee. I¡¯m used to being alone and don¡¯t care about that,¡± Alexa said drily. She mocked both Terrence and Brynlee in a casual way. Alexa was inexplicably happy. She did not expect Terrence to say. ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Chapter 29 Chapter 29 Chapter 29 Start Over Again Alexa was quite surprised and casually moved a little inside. Brynlee never expected that Terrence would say this, and she was furious. ¡°Alexa, I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Brynlee got in the car and sat beside Terrence in a huff. The atmosphere in the car became very strange. Brynlee chatted with Terrence in a soft voice, and Alexa leaned against the window, feeling uneasy. Her right eyelid twitched, and she had a bad feeling. The phone in her pocket vibrated a few times. There were a few messages from Maeve and Carissa. In addition, there was also a strange call. Alexa silently moved a little inside until she was no longer far away from them before she answered the call. Terrence saw her actions, and he frowned. His eyes were full of gloom. ¡°Hello?¡± Alexa spoke in an extremely low voice. ¡°Alexa.¡± Hearing that maic low voice, Alexa trembled a little. The man on the other side of the line caressed the photo on the table affectionately. His gentle eyes were clear, taking away the heavy haze that had umted over the past few years. He kept asking for news about Alexa all the time, wanting to know if she was doing well. Now that he finally heard her voice again, Brenton felt that his mind was in chaos. He had a lot to say to her. However, he just thought about calling her name over and over again. ¡°Alexa¡­¡± He slowed down his tone, and Alexa¡¯s head buzzed. It was hard to believe this. It was Brenton. Terrence gritted his teeth, and he looked annoyed. At that moment, Brynlee clung to his neck and kissed his lips passionately. The two of them kissed in front of Alexa. Alexa was extremely upset and did not dare to let Brenton hear the sound here. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Finnegan told me that he saw you. In the bar, he sang that song.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°How are you now? Are you happy? Is he good to you?¡± He knew Alexa married Terrence. Brenton gripped the photo tightly, but he had to ask her about it in an extremely peaceful tone. Why was Terrence the one who married her? ¡°You already know that.¡± ¡°Yes. Is he good to you?¡± Brenton asked with a chuckle. After he asked, there was a long silence on the other side of the line. Brenton felt delighted. ¡°Alexa, do you love him?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no point in asking this.¡± ¡°Does he love you?¡± Love? Did she deserve to mention this word? ¡°I did it willingly.¡± ¡°Alexa, don¡¯t be angry with me, okay?¡± Brenton begged her, ¡°Wait for me toe back. Let¡¯s start over again, okay?¡± Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org. Before Alexa could answer, her phone was suddenly pulled by Terrence. Alexa only noticed the mocking and fierce smile on Terrence¡¯s face, not knowing when he had been so close to her. Terrence heard the conversation just now. ¡°Start again? Are you worth it?¡± Terrence held her phone and spoke lightly. Alexa was stunned, and her heart seemed to have been cut alive by a knife. She didn¡¯t know how Brenton would react after hearing this. Terrence looked very angry. After hanging up the phone, he threw the phone to the side with a gloomy face ¡°Terrence!¡± Brynlee wanted to say something but stopped. With a worried expression, Brynlee grabbed Terrence¡¯s arm. ¡°Terrence, don¡¯t give Alexa a hard time,¡± Brynl¨¦e patiently advised, ¡°We should also think about the happiness of Alexa. If Brenton is sincere about Alexa, it is a good thing.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Terrence sneered, and a sense of oppression followed. ¡°Alexa, what do you think? If he is sincere with you, I can help you. For the sake of you serving me for two years,¡± Terrence said word by word. Alexa pursed her lips tightly, unable to say a word. ¡°Speak.¡± Terrence¡¯s voice was ruthless. ¡°I didn¡¯t force you. I respect your decision. You can promise him now.¡± ¡°I never thought that way.¡± ¡°Are you sure?¡± Terrence¡¯s tone was filled with distrust toward her. Brynlee silently revealed a proud smile. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go to the hospital first,¡± Brynlee teased with a smile, ¡°Alexa¡¯s foot was injured. If he knew about it, he would feel bad, right?¡± As soon as Brynlee said this, Alexa saw Terrence¡¯s face be even more gloomy. ¡°She doesn¡¯t need to. Let¡¯s go back.¡± His tone was filled with anger. Alexa¡¯s silence made Terrence even more uneasy. If it wasn¡¯t for her guilty conscience, how could she not defend herself? No one had ever dared to betray Terrence, and Terrence could never have imagined that Alexa actually had the guts to challenge his bottom line. He really had a bad temper, and Alexa quietly sat beside him, as if there was a deep gap between the two. ¡°Brenton and I have long lost contact. ¡°I don¡¯t know why he suddenly contacted me either. ¡°Terrence, give me some time. I also want to find out about this matter.¡± Alexa mustered the courage to speak out her thoughts, but Terrence ignored her. He spoke to Brynlee at the side, and his tone and attitude seemed to have changed. ¡°Come home with me tonight.¡± ¡°Terrence. Is it really okay?¡± Brynlee was ttered. ¡°Of course.¡± Terrence held the back of Brynlee¡¯s head lovingly. ¡°You will be my wife sooner orter. Are you not willing?¡± ¡°Terrence, I can do anything for you,¡± Brynlee said in joy. ¡°Very good.¡± Terrence smiled. His gentle gaze was like a dangerous swamp. Alexa lowered her head in loneliness. Tears were continuously flowing down her cheeks. She bit her lips hard and did not dare to make a sound. Brady parked the car at the entrance of Duckdale Vi. The two of them got out of the car and entered the house intimately, and no one cared about Alexa. Alexa wiped away her tears and bent down to find the mobile phone that was thrown away by Terrence. The screen waspletely broken, and it could not even be turned on normally. She clearly didn¡¯t want to cry, but she couldn¡¯t control her emotions at all and suddenly cried out. Her hair was wet with tears, sticking to her face in a mess, and the makeup that she had meticulously applied had also been ruined. Her entire face was simply too horrible to look at. Brady couldn¡¯t take it anymore and handed over a tissue. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, I¡¯ve been working for the Ramsey family for many years. I¡¯m very clear about Mr. Ramsey¡¯s temper. Don¡¯t be angry with Mr. Ramsey,¡± Brady said. Really? The person who asked her to exin was Terrence. She had done it well and abandoned all her self- esteem, but in the end, the person who humiliated her was also Terrence. Chapter 30 Chapter 30 Chapter 30 Like a Clown Alexa stayed in the car for a long time before entering the vi. Terrence and Brynlee were having a romantic candlelight dinner. She did not even look at them and went straight to the stairs. ¡°Alexa, let¡¯s have dinner together.¡± Brynlee slowly shook the red wine ss and nced at Alexa with a charming look, just like a winner. Alexa now felt very ufortable in her stomach. After seeing the food on the table, she was so disgusted that she almost vomited. ¡°No, thank you.¡± She lowered her eyes in disgust and tightened her grip on her dress. It was not easy for Brynlee to find an opportunity to humiliate Alexa, so Brynlee naturally would not let her go easily. ¡°Alexa, what happened to your face?¡± Alexa saw that Brynlee could not wait to get up, walk towards her, and grab her arm. ¡°Terrence, look,¡± Brynlee smiled and turned Alexa¡¯s body to Terrence. ¡°Is there something wrong with Alexa¡¯s face?¡± Terrence cut the steak on his te without looking up andmented coldly. ¡°It¡¯s ugly.¡± Alexa adjusted her messy hair and felt she was like a clown. She pushed Brynlee¡¯s hand away in frustration and fled back to her room. The wound on her foot had not been treated for a long time, and now it had probably scabbed. The scar was striking. Alexa removed her makeup and stood in front of the mirror, looking at her face. ¡°Is it ugly?¡± she said to herself with a poker face. Wearing a thick set of pajamas, Alexa finally felt a bit warmer on her body. She only drank a bit of wine tonight and didn¡¯t eat anything else. With the two of them downstairs, Alexa instantly had no appetite. Swallowing the pills, shey on the bed, waiting for sleepiness to strike. Forcing herself to forget what Terrence had just said, Alexa discovered that this was a very difficult matter. Terrence was clearly a very gentle person before, but why would he say such hurtful words to her today? Alexa hid in the nket with grievances, and she soon feli asleep in a daze. Late at night, the door opened slightly, and a person sneaked in. Alexa was sleeping soundly. Terrence nced at her through the light at the head of the bed and did not disturb her. He sat at the end of the bed and gently lifted the corner of her nket. He skillfully grabbed her cold feet with his warm big hands. When Alexa woke up the next morning, she immediately felt the difference in her feet. There was a band-aid on her heel. Did she apply this band-aid herselfst night? Alexa thought for a long time and found that her memory was getting worse. However, after a night¡¯s sleep, the unhappiness in her heart disappeared without a trace. S Alexa opened the door full of energy and happened to see Brynlee wearing a sexy nightdress as she passed by Alexa. Alexa¡¯s rare good mood instantly disappeared. ¡°Morning.¡± Brynlee smiled sweetly as she greeted Alexa. Brynlee even flirtatiously ran her fingers through her hair. Alexa clearly saw that there were several hickeys on Brynlee¡¯s neck. ¡°Did you sleep herest night?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Brynlee said arrogantly. ¡°Terrence is my fianc¨¦. Shouldn¡¯t I live in his house?¡± ¡°Oh.¡± ¡°Why do you still stay here?¡± Brynlee nced at Alexa. ¡°Is there any difference between you and a home wrecker? Oh, the difference is that Terrence does not love you.¡± After Brynlee finished speaking, sheughed and did not care about Alexa¡¯s feelings. Alexa said calmly, ¡°The name on the marriage certificate is mine and his. From beginning to end, your name was not written. I said before, you are a home wrecker.¡± ¡°The woman Terrence loves is clearly me. It was you who asked his grandfather to force him to marry you. That¡¯s why we can¡¯t be together!¡± What Brynlee couldn¡¯t stand the most were the words ¡°home wrecker¡±. She was clearly the one who came first, and she was clearly the one who saved Terrence, but the Ramsey family still let Terrence marry Alexa. ¡°Do you think I can change the decisions of the Ramsey family?¡± Alexaughed. ¡°He loves you so much that he has to lie to you over and over again about marrying you?¡± ¡°Say that again, and I¡¯ll p you.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you don¡¯t know about this.¡± ¡°Why should I lose to someone like you? What¡¯s so great about the Duran family?¡± Brynlee narrowed her eyes coldly and cursed Alexa without hesitation. remember Keyon? He should have died a long time ago, right?¡± ¡°Brynlee.¡± Alexa¡¯s eyes were red. She was totally furious. ¡°I can kill you now.¡± ¡°You still dare to threaten me, don¡¯t you?¡± Brynlee widened her eyes. ¡°Alexa, don¡¯t think I¡¯m afraid of you!¡± ¡°Do you Seeing that something was wrong with Alexa, Brynlee was going to find Terrence, but she did not expect that Alexa would grab her wrist and then p her. Pa. A crisp sound suddenly rang out, and Brynlee was pped. A clear palm print immediately appeared on her beautiful face. ¡°I warned you not to mention my family. You bitch.¡± Although Alexa was thin, when she stood in front of Brynlee at that moment, she revealed a sense of oppression, like Terrence. Brynlee did not even dare to say anything. ¡°Terrence!¡± Brynlee cried out, and not long after, Terrence appeared in front of Alexa with a gloomy face. He looked at Brynlee¡¯s injury and then turned to look at Alexa. ¡°Did you hit her?¡± ¡°Regardless of whether I say it or not, don¡¯t you always think that I hit her?¡± ¡°Why?¡± ¡°I just wanted to.¡± Alexa looked at him fearlessly. ¡°Can¡¯t you just hit me back?¡± ¡°You go downstairs first.¡± ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Brynlee said pitifully. ¡°Go downstairs!¡± Terrence frowned, and his tone was impatient. ¡°Alright.¡± Brynlee immediately agreed. Although she couldn¡¯t see Terrence cursing Alexa with her own eyes, after this, Terrence could surely understand that Alexa was a bitch. ¡°Alexa, how did you be like this?¡± N?velDrama.Org owns all content. ¡°Can¡¯t I?¡± Alexa forced herself to say. ¡°No matter what I look like, isn¡¯t it wrong in your eyes?¡± ¡°What nonsense are you talking about?¡± ¡°If you hate me so much, why did you agree to my request to postpone the divorce? ¡°If you love her, just drive me away. I don¡¯t care about being your wife. ¡°Terrence, are you not tired?¡± Alexa said all her thoughts and forced herself to hold back her tears. She would definitely not cry in front of him. Terrence was not worth it! Her love was simply in vain. This man could not love her. ¡°Alexa!¡± Terrence was instantly enraged, and his livid face turned red with anger. ¡°You disgust me!¡± ¡°Yes, I am disgusting. I just hate her. I can¡¯t stand it!¡± Alexa clenched her fists. Chapter 31 Chapter 31 Chapter 31 Risky Operation Terrence thought that Terrence would even be out of his mind, but in the end, he just nced at her meaningfully and went downstairs unhappily. Alexa returned to the room with a weak body and closed the door with a backhand, feeling as if all the blood in her body was firing. She just felt dizzy. Alexa was to go downstairs to have some soup for dinner, but now she had no appetite at all. Alexa reluctantly swallowed the pills and hid in the quilt, hoping to fall asleep before the side effects took ce. But soon, her phone rang. Was it Terrence? Perhaps Brynlee was crying in front of him, making him realize that he had let her go too easily just now. Alexa bitterly smiled. She even expected to receive a call from Terrence. He might scold her, curse at her, or even take revenge for Brynlee¡­ Alexa was not afraid of it. Alexa found that she was weird because she was only afraid that Terrence would ignore her and completely treat her as nothing, letting her die alone in the end. Alexa grabbed the phone on the table next to the bed, but she was immediately disappointed. It wasn¡¯t Terrence, but Kieran. She forced herself to pretend to be well and spoke calmly. ¡°Mr. Powell?¡± ¡°Good morning, Ms. Duran,¡± Kieran stood in front of the window and gently put his gold-rimmed sses on his delicate nose, ¡°are you free today? I have arranged some examinations for you.¡± ¡°Thank you, Dr. Powell,¡±Alexa replied gratefully, ¡°I wille over now.¡± ¡°Good,¡± he did not forget to remind her, ¡°it¡¯s colder today. Put on more clothes.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Kieran, such a gentleman, as well as a polite elite, was indeed very popr among girls. Even if Alexa was talking to him in a few minutes, she was in a much better mood. Kieran was as warm as a spring sun. He was sincere and gentle to others, but from his words and actions, it was not difficult to tell that he was very powerful. Alexa got prepared before leaving, and when she walked out of the room again, Brynlee seemed to be gone. Terrence wore a casual suit and sat quietly on the sofa. He flipped the pages from time to time with his slender fingers. Why didn¡¯t he go to thepany? Alexa was puzzled, but she did not ask him about it. Instead, she silently walked past him.¡± ¡°Stop!¡± Terrence still fixed his eyes on the book, but Alexa felt that he had already looked through her entire body. ¡°Are you going out now?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Today is Saturday.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± They spoke in a business-like manner, like a superior and subordinate who were on a mission. They didn¡¯t seem to be husband and wife at all. But it was nothing surprising. After all, Alexa had just pped his sweetheart. Terrence would be thinking about how to take revenge on her now. ¡°Where are you going?¡± Terrence asked with a fake smile. ¡°Are you going to visit your two good friends and talk about your ex-lover?¡± ¡°No. I¡¯m going to the hospital,¡± Alexa exined seriously. ¡°Hospital? I¡¯ll go along with you,¡± Terrence said as he tapped the bookzily. ¡°No, thanks.¡± ¡°They arranged some examinations for us. Do you think I am willing to go along with you?¡± Alexa knew that they were his parents. ¡°Alright,¡± she had no other choice, ¡°but you can¡¯t bother me.¡± Terrence snorted coldly and consciously got up to walk to the door. After arriving at the hospital, Alexa understood that it turned out to be a pre-pregnancy examination! She followed Terrence, her face flushed. But he did not seem to be any different, as if it was not a big deal. ¡°You don¡¯t have to stay with me. I know what to do,¡± Alexa said with difficulty. ¡°We just have tofort my parents. You don¡¯t have to worry about anything else,¡± Terrence said calmly. Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org. ¡°I¡­ I got it.¡± Alexa got extremely blushed. Terrence nced at her without a change of expression and finally left the examination room. Half an hourter, Alexa came out. ¡°You can leave now. I still have to visit Dr. Powell,¡± she said with a blushed face. Hearing the name of another man, Terrence was annoyed. His face darkened. ¡°I will go along with you.¡¯ Alexa was shocked and subconsciously asked. ¡°Aren¡¯t you busy today?¡± ¡°I indeed have something very important to do,¡± Terrence said meaningfully. ¡°Then let¡¯s go,¡± Alexa quickly said, ¡°or I may dy you.¡± Why was Alexa still like a spoiled and innocent child? Most of the time, she was too na?ve. Or did Alexa think that he would never be interested in her? They were silent until Alexa stopped in front of Kieran¡¯s office. ¡°I¡¯ll go in for a while. Wait for me outside.¡± Before Terrence could reply, Alexa had already pushed the door open and entered, not forgetting to close the door tightly. ¡°Dr. Powell.¡± Alexa immediately rxed a lot because she had to act in front of Terrence. So she looked a little bit exhausted. Kieran considerately raised the heater by a few degrees and asked casually. ¡°Is there any family membering with you?¡± Terrence? Alexa immediately thought of him, but quickly she gave it up. ¡°Just tell me directly. No matter what the situation is, I am already prepared.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t intend to hide it from you.¡± Kieran then opened an electronic inspection report. ¡°You indeed have a big problem with your heart. You are much weaker than normal people,¡± Kieran very seriously exined the condition to her. ¡°After the expert consultation, we all agree that you should carry out the heart transnt operation as soon as possible.¡± ¡°Dr. Powell, how possible would the operation be sessful?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a highly risky operation.¡± Kieran held the frame with a serious face. He added, ¡°Not only the heart itself, but other organs also have someplicated risks. ording to your condition now, you may have a blood illness.¡± Alexa subconsciously clenched her hands, as if she could not find her breath. She felt that she would fall immediately. ¡°Do not be afraid,¡± Kieran found Alexa scared and immediatelyforted her, ¡°because you can be hopeful at modern medical skills. I have already contacted many experts and would of coursee up with effective treatment ns.¡± ¡°Dr. Powell, I want to throw up.¡± Alexa said in a trembling voice and was not able to control herself. The reality was right in front of her. She didn¡¯t even dare to imagine that she might never wake up again once she fell asleep. Kieran immediately prepared a bottle of medicine for her. Alexa was shivering so heavily that she failed to graspit several times. ¡°Trust me.¡± Kieran held her hand firmly and was determined. Heforted Alexa, ¡°No problem.¡± At that moment, the door of the office was opened. Terrence stood at the door and became extremely angry. He shouted with deep hatred. ¡°Alexa!¡± Chapter 32 Chapter 32 Chapter 32 She Is Like Poison Kieran bent over and stood in front of Alexa. Seeing Terrence appear at the door, he calmly withdraw his hand and silently stood in front of Alexa. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, this is the consulting room. You are not allowed to enter.¡± Terrence slowly stepped forward. He stepped on the marble floor with his expensive high-speed leather shoes and made a dull noise step by step, making Alexa heartbroken. In the end, he stood in front of Kieran arrogantly and aggressively, forcing Alexa to even feel pain when she took a breath. ¡°Get away.¡± Terrence sounded cold-hearted, and Alexa¡¯s face waspletely pale. Would he even threaten Kieran? ¡°This is the consulting room. Please leave.¡± Kieran was still polite and stood in front of Alexa closely to block Terrence. ¡°Do you think that you are qualified to teach me a lesson as a member of the Powell family?¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, don¡¯t forget that before this generation, our two families are old friends.¡± ¡°Well, so what?¡± Terrence said unfriendly, ¡°as long as I want, I can make your whole family disappear from the world at any time. Do you want to have a try?¡± ¡°Mr. Powell.¡± Alexa suddenly spoke and immediately got up in a panic. Terrence sneered. Everything was within his expectations. ¡°I¡¯m sorry to trouble you for this period,¡± Alexa immediately became the tough girl before. ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°Come here,¡± Terrence ordered domineeringly. -At that moment, he was the winner, and he felt irrationally happy because he had won the battle against Kieran. Terrence felt extremely disgusted at himself at such a moment, especially when he found Alexa obedient. He got angrier and angrier and was even out of his mind. He only cared about his ridiculous desire for victory. Alexa slightly walked away from Kieran¡¯s side. Terrence became more and more gloomy. He indifferently grabbed her wrist and pulled her over. Because he put in much strength, Alexa did not even hold the bottle in her hand. The ss bottle fell and was broken apart. Alexa lowered her head in embarrassment,pletely not daring to look at Kieran. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mr. Powell. I¡¯ll clean it up immediately.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter,¡± Kieran¡¯s tone was still gentle. ¡°It¡¯s just that you haven¡¯t recovered yet. You still have to take good care of yourself. If you have any problems, contact me.¡± ¡°Okay, thank you.¡± Terrence did not have the patience to appreciate their conversation. He directly pulled Alexa and rudely took her out of the consulting room. Alexa did not say a word all the way, not even burst into tears. No matter how tightly Terrence held her, she did not have a single word ofint. Terrence angrily opened the car door and forced her in. He stood outside the car and blocked the door so rudely as if she was his prey. He was watching her like a monster. ¡°Do you think it¡¯s fun?¡± ¡°He and I are just¡­¡± ¡°Stop it!¡± Terrence roared with a dark face, not intending to listen to her exnation at all. Alexa looked at him sadly and spoke as if she was begging him. ¡°Terrence, can you listen to me? I can exin it.¡± ¡°Why? Do you think I¡¯m so easy to be cheated on?¡± ¡°No, I¡­¡± Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org. ¡°I gave you countless chances, but what did you do?¡± Terrence struggled and tried his best to hold back his anger. Even at this point, he still had not completely gotten enraged. ¡°If we have reached the point where we have to break up, then I will not force you,¡± Alexa said sadly. ¡°I can sign the divorce agreement now.¡± ¡°Divorce?¡± Terrence was so angry that heughed instead, ¡°Alexa, did you say divorce me?¡± that you would ¡°You always mean il, don¡¯t you?¡± Alexa sobbed. ¡°I¡¯ll suggest it instead of you. Isn¡¯t it good?¡± It would also free her from such a miserable rtionship. They would only hurt each other if they failed to be in a love rtionship. ¡°Impossible! Alexa, let me tell you, it¡¯s impossible!¡± What? Alexa suspected that she had mistaken it. Wasn¡¯t it Terrence who proposed a divorce in the beginning? ¡°Before I can no longer benefit from you, I would never let you go!¡± ¡°Is it the case? What if I am dead?¡± Alexa sneered at him. ¡°Dead?¡± Terrence sneered, ¡°before you pay off your debt, your life is mine. Without my permission, you are not qualified to die.¡± A tit-for-tat conversation ended hastily. Alexa sat in the front passenger seat in silence, her soft ck hair blocking half of her face. The tears on her face hadpletely dried up, and she felt great pain in her eyes. She had been with Terrence for the past few days and cried out every day. Terrence drove the car so fast that it was almost flying, and the roar of the engine gradually challenged Alexa who felt Terrence crazy. He was simply out of his mind! ¡°Slow down¡­¡± Terrence turned a deaf ear to her. He held the steering wheel so tightly that he was in extreme anger. ¡°Alexa, will you regret it? Tell me, will you regret it?¡± Terrence put on a vicious expression. ¡°Lindeed regret it now. I shouldn¡¯t have gotten in your car. I shouldn¡¯t have risked my life to go crazy with you!¡± Alexa was angry. Terrence put on a faint smile and stepped on the brakes. He tried to stop the car so suddenly that Alexa almost hit the window. ¡°I hope you can remember what you said today,¡± Terrence threatened Alexa in a low voice. ¡°Alexa, ! can¡¯t tolerance you more.¡± Alexa was still in shock and did not know what he was saying. Then, he picked up a phone call, and his tone was quite normal. After a few simple responses, Terrence hung it up and threw away his phone. He nced at her ¡°Mom and Dad asked us to go back for dinner tonight.¡± ¡°What is it for?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. You know what you should do, right?¡± Terrence said in a bad mood. ¡°I know it.¡± Alexa sighed and went home to dress up elegantly, especially asking Terrence to check it. Alexa was wearing an old-fashioned velvet dress and set a good-looking hairstyle with her waist-length ck hair. She put on a set of diamond jewelry. Terrence watched her seriously. Alexa stood in front of him like a red rose in dark. She was shockingly beautiful and charming. She was a treasure that was bound to be demanded by others. ¡°No,¡± Terrence frowned seriously, ¡°it¡¯s just a family dinner, not a blind date. Why are you dressed up like this?¡± ¡°Does it look good?¡± Alexa asked doubtfully. ¡°Mom likes me wearing a red dress.¡± Since it was Terrence¡¯s mother who liked it, Terrence could not refuse it despite Alexa would be noticed by others as a shocking beauty. ¡°Up to you.¡± He said a little unhappily and got into the car without waiting for her. Alexa was like poison to him. Once he came into contact with her, even if it was just a nce from afar, he would feel out of control like he had been trapped by a demon, unable to fight back. Alexa didn¡¯t know why. When she got in the car, she consciously kept a distance from Terrence. Unexpectedly, he got angry. Chapter 33 Chapter 33 Chapter 33 Someone Rich Backs Me Up ¡°Why are you avoiding me? Are you afraid of me?¡± Terrence asked unhappily. ¡°No.¡± ¡°Sit down here.¡± Alexa had to obediently do as she was told. Terrence would always easily lose his temper. Alexa did not know how she had angered him. Was it because they were not so close to each other? Alexa was puzzled, but she still quietly kept a distance from him. Terrence quietly watched Alexa beside him carefully adjusting her seat and silently calmed down. ¡°This dress suits you very well. You have good taste,¡± Terrence said, taking the initiative to start a conversation. Terrence praised her for no apparent reason, and Alexa was simply too happy. ¡°No, Mom has good taste. What¡¯s more, this dress was bought by you,¡± Alexa gave a perfect answer. ¡°If you like it, just buy more.¡± When Terrence suggested, Alexa did not know how to respond for a while. ¡°No, thank you,¡± Alexa politely said. She continued, ¡°I have enough clothes, and some are still new.¡± This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . Hearing what Alexa said, Terrence recalled something. For the past two years, Alexa had been wearing the clothes that she had brought to the Ramsey family. They were already outdated, but she had never thrown them away. How could the little Princess of the Duran family lead such a life? ¡°Why not? Are you saving money for me?¡± Terrence sneered at Alexa. ¡°No, I¡¯m not,¡± Alexa said honestly, ¡°because I don¡¯t like being too remarkable, I¡¯m not used to it.¡± ¡°What? Not used to it?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa lowered her head and yed with the corner of her clothes as usual. ¡°I¡¯d better behave myself now,¡± Alexa said indifferently. ¡°After all, I had nothing when we got married. If I was too arrogant and remarkable, others would gossip that¡­¡± ¡°What?¡± Alexa did not notice that Terrence¡¯s face had gradually darkened. ¡°Won¡¯t they think that I have someone rich to back me up?¡± So was it indeed Alex¡¯s thought? In her mind, Terrence was someone who could not be found out in public. Right? Alexa heard Terrence sneering like a yboy. ¡°Isn¡¯t it true?¡± She didn¡¯t know what to say, but if they fought against each other in the Ramsey family, his parents would doubt it. Alexa hesitated for a moment and smartly changed the topic. ¡°When do you n to bring Brynlee to meet your parents?¡± Alexa asked sincerely. ¡°There seems to be a misunderstanding between them and Brynlee, how about I exin it?¡± ¡°Why?¡± Terrence was extremely indifferent, ¡°Alexa, didn¡¯t you think too highly of yourself?¡± Terrence¡¯s words hurt Alexa as if she was stabbed by a knife. Alexa murmured and found that she was not qualified to suggest. ¡°Just mind your own business. You don¡¯t need to intervene between me and Brynlee.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Alexa answered briefly and never mentioned Brynlee again. Alexa acted as if she wanted to help them. Terrence just didn¡¯t believe it. How was it possible for Alexa to be so calm and indifferent? Terrence had only known Alexa for two years, but when he helped the Duran family who was in danger at the critical moment, Alexa immediately felt that she was destined to spend her whole life along with Terrence. Alexa thought she was so silly. Alexa cursed at herself secretly and then looked out of the window with a lonely expression. The driver stopped the car at the entrance of the Ramsey¡¯s old residence. Terrence immediately reached out for her hand. Alexa was startled by Terrence, but he held her so tightly that she could never free herself. The two elders were in the room, and Alexa greeted them politely. ¡°You guys, nice to meet you. Alexa, how have you been?¡± Jason asked happily. ¡°Alright, everything is fine.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s have dinner first. I specially asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite dish.¡± Rebekah greeted kindly and took Alexa¡¯s hand from Terrence. Alexa used the rose hand cream today, and he felt Alexa¡¯s hands delicate and gentle. He remembered the feelings when Alexa was held in his hands. But Terrence didn¡¯te to her senses until Alexa was taken away. In front of Terrence¡¯s parents, Alexa was always very smart and lovely. Terrence saw her smile and was unconsciously touched. He was slowly relieved and stopped putting on a poker face. As dinner began, Rebekah finally mentioned the examination. Alexa instantly paused when she was enjoying her dinner. ¡°Mom, have a try.¡± Terrence picked up arge piece of fish and put it into Rebekah¡¯s bowl. He asked with a fake smile, ¡°What is the result?¡± ¡°Everything is normal. Why hasn¡¯t Alexa gotten pregnant?¡± Rebekah asked doubtfully. Hearing her question, Alexa was relieved a lot. Terrence saw the changes in Alexa¡¯s expression and smartly helped her get rid of trouble. ¡°Don¡¯t urge us anymore.¡± ¡°I wasn¡¯t anxious before.¡± Rebekah put down her folks. She asked seriously, ¡°But now? It¡¯s been two years. Terrence, are you making trouble for the matter?¡± ¡°Me?¡± ¡°Stop it, they have their ns. Forget about them. Don¡¯t worry,¡± Jason tried tofort Rebekah peacefully. ¡°I¡¯m not worried. I¡¯m just envious, Hubby,¡± Rebekah turned to Jason, ¡°do you know that most of my friends who are close to me have grandchildren early? I indeed admire them.¡± ¡°Do you want a pet?¡± As soon as Terrence spoke, Jason and Rebekah gave a dirty look at him. ¡°Alexa is weak. I don¡¯t want her to take the risk.¡± Alexa heard him speak word by word and nced at him slightly surprised. Terrence¡¯s expression was very serious, not like pretending at all. ¡°What¡¯s more, whether she wants a child or not is up to her. I won¡¯t force her.¡± ¡°Right,¡± Jason agreed and became satisfied. Terrence, this brat, finally knew how to spoil his wife! ¡°Terrence is right. Alexa, I was just kidding just now. Your father and I are the same as Terrence. Do not feel pressured,¡± Rebekah smiled. ¡°Yes. We are not so old-fashioned. Young people have different ways of living. We can still try to ept it,¡± Jason said with a smile. ¡°Thank you, Mom and Dad.¡± Alexa spoke gratefully, and her lovely face quickly blushed. ¡°But, Alexa,¡± Rebekah looked at Terrence mysteriously, ¡°If he has anything to do with other girls¡­¡± ¡°Mom, no, he won¡¯t,¡± Alexa immediately defended him. ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Rebekah nodded meaningfully and ended the topic. She knew Terrence most well. Rebekah was not worried that he would have affairs with other girls, but she was worried about Brynlee! Everyone present knew whom Rebekah had meant, but they all chose to skip it over. Terrence kept silent, and Alexa quietly nced at him. She found his face indeed darkened slightly. Chapter 34 Chapter 34 Chapter 34 You Are Not Allowed to Refuse Fortunately, the dinner ended peacefully. Alexa took the initiative to chat with Rebekah for a while. As expected, Rebekah asked them to stay there overnight. Alexa did not mind it. When she entered the room, she found Terrence already sitting on the sofa. He had already taken shower and changed into a ck sleeping robe. He sat on the sofa leisurely and was elegantly tasting a bottle of red wine. Terrence wore a casual sleeping robe. Alexa could see his sexy body when she gave him a simple glimpse. He was simply born sexy! Alexa gave him another glimpse and felt her entire body hot. ¡°Do you have anything else to do tonight?¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°Well, nothing.¡± After an embarrassing conversation ended, Alexa found that she could not find another topic when facing Terrence. ¡°Why are you standing here?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± ¡°Go take a shower.¡± Alexa¡¯s face got blushed at once. Although there was nothing wrong with it, Terrence spoke in such a low and deep voice that Alexa felt him indeed sexy. Alexa immediately took her nightgown and hid in the bathroom. Although it was not the first time she had shared a room with Terrence, she still had other feelings, which always made her feel a great burden. A man like Terrence was perfect in all aspects, and he would be loved by all girls. Alexa was a poor daughter of a rich family that had gone bad and turned to be Mrs. Ramsey for no reason. But when talking about her husband, perhaps anyone else knew about him better than Alexa T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. She knew nothing about him¡­ Alexa stayed in the bathroom for a long time until the water in the bathtub began to cool down. Then she covered her body tightly and came out of the bathroom. However, Terrence was already lying on the bed. ¡°How shall we sleep tonight?¡± Alexa asked doubtfully. She had no intention of sharing a bed with him. Terrence put down the book in his hand and elegantly pointed at the position beside him. ¡°Please don¡¯t¡­ It¡¯s better not,¡± Alexa said with difficulty. ¡°Don¡¯t?¡± Terrence slowly repeated the word and chuckled. ¡°But you are not allowed to refuse me.¡± Would it be a little too dangerous to be so close to him? However, Alexa also felt that Terrence, as a gentleman, would not do anything impolite. After secretlyforting herself, Alexa carefully picked up the quilt and gentlyy down on the bed. She tried her best to keep a distance from him, lying stiffly on her side. If she moved a little farther, she would roll to the floor. It was so quiet in the room that she could only hear the sound of Terrence¡¯s fingers rubbing against the pages. If it was quiet for a bit longer, Terrence would probably hear her fast heartbeat! ¡°I heard from your parents just now. They want you to have a child, right?¡± she whispered. Hearing it, Terrence immediately stopped flipping through the book. His deep eyes were filled with darkness. ¡°So?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t misunderstand it,¡± Alexa immediately replied. ¡°What I mean is that you and Brynlee should consider it. After all, I¡­¡± ¡°Alexa. You don¡¯t seem to have a good memory. Didn¡¯t I just say not to interfere with the matter between me and Brynlee?¡± Terrence stopped her unhappily. ¡°Yes, I know. But don¡¯t make your parents disappointed because of me.¡± Alexa¡¯s voice weakened. ¡°I don¡¯t need you to remind me about it.¡± Terrence finally calmed down, but now he was not calm again. Alexa was not smart, not at all! ¡°There is one more thing.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°Are you serious about what you just said in front of your parents?¡± After Alexa asked, they both kept silent. ¡°It¡¯s not the key point if I was serious or not. It¡¯s that you have to do as I suggested, understand it? No matter if you are by my side or by another man¡¯s side, don¡¯t be stupid enough to give birth to a baby just because he told you to. It¡¯s meaningless,¡± Terrence said with a headache. He was serious. Terrence¡¯s angry words sounded like a golden bell ringing in her ears. In the world, there were no other words that were more deafening than the sentence. ¡°I¡¯m not that stupid.¡± Alexa was suddenly quite unhappy. But she got another feeling, and her whole body became warm. ¡°You¡¯d better be,¡± Terrence replied expressionlessly, ¡°and don¡¯t embarrass me.¡± ¡°After the divorce, we would have no rtionship.¡± Alexa¡¯s words instantly made him angry again. ¡°What do you mean? Alexa, don¡¯t be heartless. Strictly speaking, I am your creditor. Don¡¯t forget about it.¡± Terrence was unhappy and lost his temper. ¡°Alright.¡± Alexa gave up and did not want to talk to him about it anymore. Even though Terrence was by her side, she still fell asleep quickly. Not long after, Alexa was sleeping well. Terrence put down the book andy down in frustration, deliberately making much noise. But Alexa still ignored him. Even if he was trying to annoy Alexa, she had no response. Terrence could not fall asleep, and some ideas came into his mind. He had not told anyone that Alexa seemed to be always familiar to him from time to time. It was as if they had a particrly unforgettable meeting a long, long time ago. Terrence couldn¡¯t understand where such a feeling came from. Al the same time, Terrence also told himself that perhaps it was because of it, he had extra feelings for Alexa. Ile would be normal if they separated. After separating, he would slowly forget about her, and his life would return to normal. As Terrence thought it over, he did not sleep the entire night. Early the next morning, as soon as Alexa opened her eyes, she saw Terrence quietly standing by her bed, motionless like a ghost¡­ ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°You finally woke up.¡± Terrence¡¯s tone carried a touch of yfulness, making Alexa feel that he was ying a trick again. ¡°I have something to tell you.¡± Then, he pulled over a chair and sat down, elegantly crossing his slender legs. ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°From today on,e to thepany and be my assistant.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t look like I am taking advantage of you. Do you think you can be in the same post as Edwin?¡± ¡°Then what shall I do in my job?¡± ¡°Follow me all day. You do whatever I tell you to. At the same time, don¡¯t let anyone else know about our rtionship, understand?¡± Terrence ordered. ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°You can¡¯t refuse me.¡± Terrence proudly revealed his true thought. ¡°Do you want to leave the debt behind for the rest of your life?¡± But ¡­ but it was Hudson Group! Alexa could not even ept it in a few seconds. It was breaking news to her. Did Terrence want her to be his private secretary? Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Chapter 35 Terrence Doesn¡¯t Care ¡°Have you recovered?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Then follow me to thepanyter.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± In front of him, Alexa didn¡¯t have the right to refuse. Knowing that she was going to work in thepany with Terrence, Terrence¡¯s parents looked very happy. Rebekah deliberately held Terrence¡¯s hand and reminded him, ¡°Terrence, teach Alexa patiently, and don¡¯t ask her to work too hard.¡± ¡°I got it.¡¯ Terrence agreed, and Alexa felt that they still did not know that she was going to be Terrence¡¯s secretary. Today, Terrence drove to thepany on his own, and Alexa was forced to sit in the front passenger seat by him, feeling uneasy. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that we couldn¡¯t let others know about our rtionship? Wouldn¡¯t it be too remarkable?¡± she whispered. Terrence kept a poker face. He did not even look at her. ¡°Is it something I should worry about? Aren¡¯t you my secretary?¡± Terrence asked. Alexa didn¡¯t reply. Why? Alexa was at a loss for words, simply not knowing what to say. ¡°Then I¡¯ll get off at the bus stop in front.¡± Terrence¡¯s face suddenly darkened a bit, but he did not refuse her. Terrence turned the steering wheel all of a sudden with his delicate hand and stepped on the brake. The luxury and expensive car was stopped in front of the bus stop in a remarkable manner. ¡°Get out of the car,¡± he squeezed out the words unhappily. ¡°Okay, thank you.¡± Alexa did not notice that Terrence was angry at all. After getting out of the car, she stood by the window and waved at him. ¡°Goodbye.¡± Terrence ignored her and turned his eyes away. He quickly closed the car window and drove the car passed by her at a high speed with anger. Alexa took a bite of her toast and felt that Terrence¡¯s driving skills were not good! As soon as Edwin arrived at the president¡¯s office today, he saw Mr. Ramsey sitting in his seat silently, staring at the clock on the wall seriously. ¡°Good morning, Mr. Ramsey.¡± Edwin greeted Terrence warmly, but Terrence, who put on a poker face, instantly sneered at Edwin. ¡°It¡¯s gettingte.¡± Terrence said meaningfully. When it was nine o¡¯clock, he immediately got up and walked out. ¡°What?¡± Edwin hurriedly adjusted his sses and immediately followed Terrence. Alexa arrived at the HR department on time, but everyone was busy with their work, and no one paid any attention to her. Alexa thought, should I call Terrence? But¡­ Alexa held the phone and hesitated for a long time, not daring to dial the number. She could already imagine how Terrence would scold her. At that moment, someone tall walked over from behind her. ¡°Mr. Ramsey!¡± Nathan immediately called for all the staff toe forward and stand respectfully in front of Terrence. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, do you have any arrangements for our department?¡± Edwin saw Alexa behind Terrence, and his eyes under the sses lit up. He immediately understood everything. Nathan was not smart at all, even daring to ignore Alexa, Terrence¡¯s wife. ¡°Everyone in the HR department will have your wages deducted as a penalty.¡± Terrence indifferently ordered. He gave them great pressure and no one dared to argue back. ¡°Yes, sir.¡± Nathan was immediately frustrated, but he could only smile politely in front of Terrence. ¡°But Mr. Ramsey, it seems that our HR department has not done anything wrong recently¡­¡± Terrence was extremely unhappy after hearing what Nathan said. ¡°Are you questioning me?¡± ¡°No, I am not!¡± It was the first time Alexa had seen Terrence in thepany. Although he was also as indifferent as at home, he was now more cold-hearted and ruthless. It was no wonder that Terrence was able to create a business legend that others could not reach in just a few months after he took over the Hudson Group. ¡°Come here.¡± Terrence seemed to case a little, and Alexa subconsciously went over. Only then did Nathan notice that someone was standing there. So was it because of her that Terrence suddenly got so angry? What was her background? All the employees of Hudson Group knew Terrence well. He had always picked up his staff relying on talent, and he would never care about personal affairs. So, despite Brynlee having a close rtionship with Terrence, she was still unable to join the Hudson Group. ¡°Edwin, you¡¯ll be her teacher.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± After making the arrangements, Terrence left without hesitation. Only then the staff in the HR department rxed a little. Nathan took the opportunity to size Alexa up, but he failed to find anything extraordinary about her. She was skinny and did not look particrly beautiful. She was not of the same style as Brynlee, and far less attractive than Brynlee. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey¡­ ¡± just as Edwin was about to call Alexa, he immediately changed his words, ¡°Ms. Duran,e with me.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Alexa politely nodded at Nathan and immediately followed Edwin to leave¡­ ¡°Mr. Bradshaw, sorry to trouble you.¡± ¡°No, Madam, it¡¯s my job.¡± Edwin did not dare to ignore Alexa and patiently exined to her how thepany worked. In the end, he brought Alexa to an office. ¡°This is the Secretariat Office. Your job is to handle some daily affairs. If you have any problems, feel free to ask me or Ms. Duffy.¡±! After that, Edwin called over a capable and elegant middle-ageddy. ¡°This is Alexa. And this is Ms. Duffy. You can continue your conversationter,¡± Edwin introduced them to each other briefly. ¡°No problem.¡± Tiana kindly held Alexa¡¯s hand as she agreed. After working for a whole morning, Alexa waspletely used to her job at the Secretariat Office. She thought that Terrence woulde to find her, but he had not appeared at all. So Alexa was much relieved. She was experienced in working in the Duran Group before, so the job waspletely a piece of cake for her, and even Tiana, who was always strict, was in favor of her. When it was close to noon, Tiana specially invited all staff in the office to dinner. Alexa agreed happily,pletely leaving Terrence behind. At that moment in the president¡¯s office, Terrence finished reading Edwin¡¯s work report and was off work at an unprecedented early time.N?velDrama.Org owns all content. He was a little impatient. It was Alexa¡¯s first day at Hudson Group, and he had specially booked seats in the foreign restaurant she liked, looking forward to seeing Alexa sharing what she had seen and heard in her office. But Terrence covered his feelings perfectly. When he walked to the door, Edwin suddenly spoke from behind him. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Mrs. Ramsey has already left.¡± ¡°What?¡± Terrence failed to keep the same expression, ¡°where did she go?¡± ¡°I heard it was a department gathering dinner. Mr. Ramsey, do you need to call her back?¡± Edwin asked. ¡°Of course not,¡± Terrence¡¯s face turned dark, and he instantly became indifferent about it. ¡°Sorry, Mr. Ramsey.¡± Edwin was very upset. He had mistaken Terrence¡¯s thoughts. It never happened before. When Terrence passed by the Secretariat Office, he specially nced at Alexa¡¯s seat, and it was indeed empty. Chapter 36 Chapter 36 Chapter 36 Terrence Doesn¡¯t Trust Her For the first time, he experienced the feeling of being disliked. Terrence didn¡¯t look for her but called Brynlee instead. Brynlee was overjoyed and rescheduled her work to meet Terrence. Terrence had prepared lunch in a top-notch restaurant, so Brynlee certainly wouldn¡¯t miss the chance to do a public disy of affection. She took a photo and posted it on Twitter with the text, ¡°Every meal with him is worth remembering.¡± Her tweet caused a stir. The rtionship between her and Terrence had been a hot topic, but Terrence was aloof, and no media dared to report gossip about him. The tweet Brynlee posted was already able to confirm that she and Terrence were in a rtionship! As the most famous A-list star, Brynlee¡¯s tweet was soon a trending topic. Terrence knew it at the first moment, but he didn¡¯t care at all. Alexa also saw Brynlee¡¯s tweet. Everyone was guessing if Brynlee was talking about Terrence. Only Alexa knew there could not be anyone else other than Terrence Alexa put down her phone with a dull face, not wanting to pay heed to the news. But colleagues around her all started to talk about the topic. ¡°Why are they suddenly so high-profile? Do Mr. Ramsey and Brynlee already n to get married?¡± Be Watson asked. ¡°I do not think so.¡± Kaya Ponce shook her head. ¡°A big star like Brynlee will not post news about her if they are only nning.¡± ¡°You mean, they might have already gotten married?¡± Amira Beasley was shocked by her thoughts. ¡°Mr. Ramsey got married too early!¡± ¡°All right, guys,¡± Tiana said. ¡°How dare you gossip about the private life of our president? If it gets out, we will all be in trouble.¡± Alexa suddenly felt nauseous again. ¡°Excuse me, I need to go to the restroom.¡± After that, she put down her fork and left. Alexa was taken aback by her gloomy face in the mirror. She told herself not to let Terrence affect her again, but she still failed to control her emotions. After returning to thepany, she avoided Terrence, but she didn¡¯t expect Edwin to suddenly ask her to bring the files to the president¡¯s office. Alexa thought, he was busy at noon, so he should not be in the office now, right? Alexa was mentally prepared and knocked on the door to enter, only to see Terrence sitting in his seat. He was reading a file. Something must have gone wrong. He furrowed slightly, looking focused and charming ¡°¡®The files.¡± Alexa spoke softly and ced the files on the table. ¡°Okay.¡± Terrence nodded slightly and replied without looking up. Alexa let out a sigh of relief, feeling much more rxed. ¡°I¡¯ll leave you to it.¡± ¡°Where did you go for lunch?¡± Alexa was surprised by his sudden question. ¡°I had a meal with Tiana and other colleagues.¡± ¡°All right.¡± Doesn¡¯t Terrence trust me? Alexa felt a little ufortable at that thought. ¡°Were you with Brynlee at noon?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Terrence looked up at her. ¡°So? Do you have any problems with that?¡± ¡°No. How dare I.¡± It had only been a morning since theyst saw each other, and her sour attitude irked Terrence. ¡°You have a chance to tell me if you feel ufortable.¡± ¡°No, I don¡¯t feel ufortable.¡± Alexa straightened her body and said, ¡°I don¡¯t care what you have with Brynlee.¡± You remember it clearly.¡± Terrence said coldly. There was no smile in his eyes. ¡°Yes,¡± Alexa replied coolly. ¡°I should go back to work.¡± ¡°Wait for me here after work. Go home with me.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Terrence frowned, his patiencepletely running out. ¡°Why should I exin it to you?¡± Alexa pursed her lips and left without a word. Terrence knew she was unhappy, but so what? He was selfish. He would rather Alexa be unhappy than not have any emotions. Without any reason, he could not stand Alexa¡¯s attitude of not caring about anything. Alexa didn¡¯t want to wait for him, not at all. She couldn¡¯t understand how Terrence was able to be with Brynlee and pretended nothing had happened in front of her. Alexa was ready to leave work on time, but before she could, the president¡¯s office suddenly arranged a lot of tasks for her and required her to finish them today. Be cast a sympathetic look and came over to her. She reminded Alexa, ¡°Mr. Ramsey is a workaholic. You must finish tasks today, or the consequences will be serious.¡± Alexa had no choice but to resign to her fate and work overtime. At 9p.m., she finally finished all her work and was ready to go home. At that time, Terrence texted her. ¡°Have you done the tasks?¡± Alexa was about to reply when she received a push notification. It was Brynlee¡¯s tweet. The location was at the Hudson Group building. There were exquisite snacks in the picture with the words, ¡°Wait for him toe home.¡± Alexa immediately recognized that they were in the caf¨¦ in the rest area. She thought, good for you, Terrence. Are you asking me to go and admire your touching true love? ¡°Come down. I¡¯ve been waiting for you for a long time.¡± Terrence sent another message, and Alexa¡¯s eyshes fluttered as she blocked his number. Then, she left through the back door. The cook at home was already off work. Passing by a roadside stall selling pasta, Alexa sat down and ordered one. While eating, Alexa spent time on her phone out of boredom. News about Brynlee and Terrence spread all over the Inte. She chose not to read it and put the phone into her pocket. Out of sight, out of mind. Alexa had only eaten several mouthfuls of pasta and had lost her appetite. Kieran called her and asked about her condition. Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org. When Terrence drove the car angrily to find her, he saw her sitting by the roadside stall with her phone, talking andughing. Alexa saw Terrenceing over from afar and said goodbye to Kieran before hanging up the phone. Terrence walked to her, not even willing to sit on the stool of the stall, and stared at her from above. ¡°Come home with me.¡± ¡°Have you finished chatting with Brynlee? Didn¡¯t shee with you?¡± Alexa tilted her head and asked him, but Terrence was quiet with a straight face. She sighed softly, pretended nothing had happened, and picked up the fork again. ¡°But I haven¡¯t finished my pasta.¡± Terrence darted a nce at the pasta, looking disgusted with it. ¡°Don¡¯t we have it at home?¡± ¡°I want to eat it here.¡± Alexa asked, ¡°Can¡¯t I?¡± She had never been so bold as now, going against Terrence. Chapter 37 Chapter 37 Chapter 37 Is He Giving Her Hope? Terrence stood quietly by her side for a while, and in the end, he dragged a stool and sat down. Alexa ignored him and picked up the fork again. She was now not feeling well. The more she ate, the more nauseous she felt, but she didn¡¯t put down the fork. Alexa¡¯s face was wet and cold. She wiped it with her hand and realized her tears had unconsciously flowed down her face. She wanted to vomit, but there was still more than half a te of pasta. Alexa had no worse feeling than that. Terrence pulled out a tissue and wiped it on her face. When she wanted to eat again, Terrence snatched the te away. He took a fork and ate the pasta with a cold face. ¡°I thought you didn¡¯t want to eat,¡± Alexa said in a broken voice. Terrence ignored her and finished the pasta quickly. He casually but elegantly pulled out a tissue to wipe the corner of his mouth. ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Terrence spoke in a deep voice. His tall and muscr figure stood in front of Alexa, looking overwhelming. His words seemed to have magic, and Alexa instantly gave in and got up to follow him. Terrence didn¡¯t reveal his true face until they both got in the car. Alexa had sat down in the front passenger seat when he leaned over and forcefully clutched her jaw. Terrence¡¯s eyes gradually darkened as he saw the tear stain on her face. ¡°Why did you cry?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t,¡± Alexa said stubbornly. ¡°It was the wind.¡± ¡°Alexa, are you lying to a child?¡± He kept asking while turning on the heater. ¡°Do you think I don¡¯t know you?¡± ¡°What do you know?¡± ¡°That¡¯s why I¡¯m asking you.¡± Alexa¡¯s mood was inexplicably better. ¡°Nothing.¡± Terrence didn¡¯t get an answer, so he was still in a bad mood. He drove home in silence, and when Alexa got out of the car, she habitually turned back to wait for him. However, Terrence didn¡¯t follow. He didn¡¯t even intend to enter the house with her. Alexa understood and instantly put away the expectation that should not be on her face. ¡°Go in,¡± Terrence exined to her. ¡°I still have something to do, but I¡¯lle home as early as possible.¡± ¡°Oh, okay.¡± Alexa answered, pretending not to care as she whirled around. What else could it be? Did he need to hide it from her? He and Brynlee were the perfect match in the public¡¯s eyes. In Terrence¡¯s eyes, his wife should be Brynlee, of course. Alexa found herself ridiculous. She brought that on herself, and Terrence didn¡¯t care at all. After entering the room, Alexa saw Mina instructing the maids to serve the dishes. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, wee home,¡± Mina said kindly. ¡°Come and eat. These are all the light appetizers Mr. Ramsey asked us to make.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Alexa thought of the pasta she had eaten at the roadside stall. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, have a taste.¡± As she spoke, Mina served Alexa a bowl of soup. Alexa had no appetite, but she still sat by the table. These dishes were her favorites, and Alexa chewed silently. The hole of emptiness in Alexa¡¯s heart grew bigger. There seemed to be wind through it. ¡°They¡¯re tasty,¡± Alexa praised with a smile. ¡°I¡¯m d you like them,¡±Mina also smiled. ¡°Mr. Ramsey knows you don¡¯t have much appetite these past few days, so he hired your previous cook.¡± ¡°What?¡± Alexa dropped the spoon, which collided with the bowl, making a crisp sound. ¡°What is it, Mrs. Ramsey? Are you unhappy?¡± ¡°No, no.¡± Alexa didn¡¯t know what to say and returned to her room. Her tears had dried, and her eyes were stinging. That table of dishes was like a of vines, entangling her tightly, suffocating her. What was he doing? Was he giving her hope? Alexa didn¡¯t think so. After meeting the client, Terrence immediately drove his car home. He acknowledged the ce as his home now and thought he belonged there. Perhaps it was because he had invested a lot in the ce that he felt he should care about it more. Also, he hadn¡¯t finished talking to Alexa about what had happened. Thinking of that, Terrence was more eager to return home. It was as if something was pulling him along, not allowing him to resist. Brynlee called, and Terrence picked it up right away. ¡°Terrence, are you going home tonight?¡± Brynlee asked tenderly. ¡°I haven¡¯t been with you for the past few days, so I came back from the crew.¡± ¡°Are you back?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Brynlee lit a scented candle. ¡°Are you done?¡± Terrence thought and blurted out, ¡°I¡¯m doing business.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll wait for you at home. Come home early.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t wait up. Go to rest.¡± Brynlee slipped her mind and knocked over the scented candle. ¡°Terrence, what did you say?¡± Brynlee forced a smile and suppressed her temper, asking. ¡°Aren¡¯t you coming back to stay with me?¡± ¡°I still have something to do,¡± Terrence answered briefly. ¡°That¡¯s it. I have to go.¡± The call ended abruptly. Brynlee¡¯s delicate face instantly became distorted as she heard the busy signal. She vented her anger and pushed all the dishes on the table to the ground, cursing wildly. Alexa was going to steal Terrence from her! What should she do? This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . Brynlee paced back and forth uneasily, and in the end, she called Gavyn in anger. When Terrence arrived home, the entire vi was dark. He went upstairs discreetly and subconsciously went to Alexa¡¯s room. There was no light inside. Terrence saw the small figure on the bed with the corridor light Alexa was already asleep. Terrence didn¡¯t disturb her and sat down by the bed. His warm hands reached into the bed and grabbed her foot. The wound on her heel had scabbed, and Terrence was relieved. Before he could let go of her right foot, Alexa¡¯s left foot suddenly kicked on his leg. Terrence couldn¡¯t help but chuckle. She was so vignt even when she was asleep. After tucking her in, Terrence quietly left the room. It waste at night, but he didn¡¯t fall asleep. Terrence was standing on the balcony, fiddling with a precious wedding ring with his well-defined fingers. Just a moment ago, all the men he sent to investigate Keyon had lost contact, and not a single bit of information was sent back. Terrence didn¡¯t even know if the news was good or bad for Alexa. It was likely that Keyon was still alive. However, judging from the matter, a greater conspiracy must be hiding behind it. Terrence stood there until the second half of the night. He finally turned and entered the room. But Alexa stood behind him. ¡°You¡¯re home?¡± she asked hoarsely. Although she only vaguely saw a figure, she was sure it was Terrence. ¡°Why are you up?¡± Terrence frowned when he saw her disarranged clothes and bare feet. ¡°Why are you dressed like this?¡± Chapter 38 Chapter 38 Chapter 38 Your Husband Can Do It ¡°I just¡­ feel a little hot.¡± Alexa said intermittently, ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± But Alexa didn¡¯t seem to be ¡°fine¡± at all from her state. ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°I came out to drink some water.¡± After Alexa finished speaking, she gasped and raised her hand to touch her forehead. Alexa obviously staggered. ¡°Alexa?¡± Terrence stepped forward. As soon as he touched her arm, Alexa waved him away. Even through the silk clothes, Terrence could feel that Alexa¡¯s temperature was very high. Terrence just left for a little while. Why did Alexa suddenly have a fever? ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Alexa was still trying to be strong. Terrence didn¡¯t think about it and immediately picked Alexa up to get in the car. ¡°I just need to take some medicine. I don¡¯t need to go to the hospital¡­¡± Alexay ufortably on the seat. She was semiconscious due to the fever, and she did not even know what she was saying or doing. ¡°Flower¡­¡± Alexa murmured weakly, ¡°February¡­ Medicine¡­ So hot.¡± Alexa said that word by word. Terrence listened carefully and finally found that she was talking about the medicine at home. ¡°Hold on a little longer. We¡¯re almost to the hospital.¡± ¡°Terrence? You are Terrence ¡­ right?¡± Alexa¡¯s eyes were filled with tears. ¡°If I were to die, would you cry?¡± Terrence knew that he shouldn¡¯t argue with a patient, but what Alexa said made him very ufortable. ¡°What nonsense are you talking about?¡± Terrence said angrily, ¡°You won¡¯t die.¡± ¡°What if I really die?¡± ¡°Alexa.¡± Terrence was serious. ¡°If you continue to talk nonsense, I will¡­¡± ¡°What are you going to do? Huh?¡± Alexa asked, tilting her head, ¡°Will you kill me?¡± It became more and more ridiculous. Terrence ignored Alexa. When he sent her to the hospital, the doctor he contacted arrived. David Cooper heard that the patient just had a fever and did not want toe over, but when he heard that it was Alexa, he immediately rushed to the hospital from home. Terrence usually kept a low profile and wouldn¡¯t ¡°call¡± hinn unless there was a need. Since it was Alexa, everything was reasonable. However, after knowing Alexa¡¯s situation, David was shocked. He instantly became very serious. ¡°High fever,¡± David simply said and called the nurse over. ¡°Hurry up and send the patient to the emergency room.¡± Terrence did not expect it to be so serious. He waited outside the emergency room for three hours before the door finally opened. ¡°How is she?¡± Tired, David took off his mask and sighed. ¡°The fever has been brought down.¡± David frowned and could not help but sigh. ¡°I¡¯ve been a doctor for so long and rarely seen such a situation. What exactly happened?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Terrence said as he walked towards the emergency room, ¡°She has always been weak.¡± Alexa had woken up, and she was drenched in sweat from the fever. ¡°How do you feel?¡± Terrence asked, ¡°Are you still feeling unwell?¡± Alexa was stunned for a moment and said, ¡°I want to take a bath.¡± ¡°Hello, Alexa. I am David.¡± David followed Terrence in and said, ¡°Your fever has just been brought down. It¡¯s easy to catch a cold while bathing. You¡¯d better change your clothes.¡± Alexa looked at the tube in her hand and let out a resigned sigh. ¡°Forget it.¡± ¡°Your husband can do it.¡± After David finished speaking, he looked at Terrence naturally. Unexpectedly, Terrence and Alexa didn¡¯t recover from the shock. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± David asked in confusion, ¡°It¡¯s more convenient for your husband to do it.¡± Terrence clenched his fist and coughed, awkwardly turning his back to Alexa. ¡°I¡¯ll go get some clothes,¡± he said through his teeth. Obviously, Terrence reluctantly epted David¡¯s advice. ¡°Dr. Cooper¡­ May I ask if there are any nurses on duty now?¡± ¡°Yes, of course,¡± David said eagerly. But at the same time, David felt a chill down his spine¡­ Terrence had walked to the door when Alexa suddenly spoke. He immediately stopped and looked back. ¡°Is the nurse here?¡± Terrence asked indifferently, ¡°You don¡¯t need me to do that?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not very convenient¡­¡± Alexa said, her face red. David was stunned. He wondered if Terrence and Alexa really just got married. ¡°Alright.¡± David still chose to respect Alexa¡¯s idea. ¡°I¡¯ll call the nurse over.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡± The two went out for a while, and not long after, David returned in a quandary. ¡°Sorry, Alexa.¡± David said with guilt, ¡°The nurse on duty has been transferred away. Terrence has gotten your clothes. Why don¡¯t you just let him help you change?¡± Alexa seemed helpless. She forced a bitter smile. ¡°Thank you so much.¡± Terrence returned with a bag. Alexa saw him take the clothes out one by one, and there was actually ¡­ underwear. ¡°Maybe it¡¯s better that I do it myself.¡± Alexa blushed and felt that she was burning again. ¡°Don¡¯t force yourself.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Terrence leaned forward and untied Alexa¡¯s nightgown belt. Alexa was so nervous, and her heartbeat elerated a lot. Terrence was supposed to be her intimate husband, but¡­ Alexa was even embarrassed to say it and tried to block herself with her hand. ¡°Do not move.¡± Terrence immediately touched her hand which was on a drip. He looked serious and not distracted at all. However, when Terrence saw the scar on Alexa¡¯s chest, Terrence¡¯s face turned a little gloomy. Terrence just helped Alexa wear two dresses, but the processsted twenty minutes. When Terrence identally touched her skin, Alexa would reflexively tremble a little, and she felt this buzz throughout her body. After dressing Alexa, Terrence did not say a word and left the ward with his back to her. ¡°Call me if you need anything.¡± ¡°Alright¡­¡± Alexa¡¯s face was still red. After calming down, she felt that her heartbeat just now was too fast. This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . Terrence had just walked out of the ward when David immediately leaned in. ¡°What happened to you?¡± David said in a reasonable tone, ¡°I remember that you¡¯ve been married for more than two years.¡± Terrence didn¡¯t say a word as he stared daggers at David. David immediately stopped asking all the questions he shouldn¡¯t have asked. ¡°Terrence, I have to remind you.¡± David approached Terrence mysteriously. ¡°If you can¡¯t satisfy your desire for a long time¡­¡± ¡°David, I think you want to treat yourself, right?¡± Terrence¡¯s face turned sullen as he spoke through gritted teeth. ¡°No. Come on. I was wrong.¡± Terrence changed the topic. He said, ¡°She was suddenly so weak. Although she didn¡¯t tell me, I could feel it.¡± Chapter 39 Chapter 39 Chapter 39 Have a Child for the Ramsey Family ¡°What does that mean?¡± David immediately became alert. ¡°You mean that Alexa had a fever this time because she¡¯s weak?¡± ¡± Terrence calmly thought back. ¡°She had a fever more than once during this period, but this time it was the most serious.¡± ¡°Repeated high fever?¡± David muttered, ¡°There might be a lot of diseases involved. She needs a full body check.¡± ¡°Yes, as soon as possible.¡± In the ward, Alexa knew nothing about their conversation. She felt dizzy and was half asleep until dawn. But Alexa forced himself up and prepared to go home and change clothes before going to work. Terrence happened toe in with breakfast. ¡°Eat something.¡± Terrence took out the porridge and snacks while sizing her up. ¡°Where are you going?¡± ¡°My fever has gone down.¡± Alexa said in a low voice, ¡°I n to go home now.¡± ¡°Take your time.¡± Terrence immediately stopped Alexa. ¡°I asked David to give you a full body check. You can leave after that.¡± Alexa pretended to be calm and asked, ¡°Check? Why do I need to get checked?¡± But actually, she was already panicking. Could it be that Terrence already knew something? But Alexa never intended to pester him with this. Subconsciously, Alexa was more willing to believe Kieran than Terrence. Kieran was the one who understood her condition the most, and he was capable enough to help her. What would happen if Terrence knew? Alexa did not dare to imagine, as Terrence¡¯s attitude was always unknown to her. She could not afford to gamble. ¡°There¡¯s no need. I will feel ufortable if I get checked.¡± Alexa found an excuse, ¡°I had a fever because I caught a coldst night. I will pay attention and won¡¯t bother you anymore.¡± ¡°Do you think I feel bothered?¡± Terrence¡¯s gaze was meaningful. ¡°I¡¯d rather go to thepany than get a body check.¡± Alexa said calmly, ¡°I¡¯ve been idle for too long. and I¡¯m depressed.¡± Terrence nodded thoughtfully and weighed the matter. ¡°Well, postpone the body check until the weekend. If you want to go to thepany, go ahead.¡± ¡°OK.¡± Alexa gratefully thanked him, but Terrence was unmoved and forced her to eat breakfast before leaving Terrence had something to do and went out. Not long after, Brynlee suddenly appeared in front of Alexa. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Alexa showed disgust directly and stared at Brynlee coldly. ¡°I heard from Terrence that you were sick. I came to see you.¡± Brynlee stood in front of Alexa¡¯s bed with an evil smile. ¡°It¡¯s not necessary.¡± ¡°I heard that Terrence wanted to get you a full-body check?¡± Alexa ignored her. Then Brynlee ced a report in front of Alexa. ¡°I asked for it. I also went to have a check, but unfortunately, it is difficult for me to have children.¡± ¡°What are you trying to say?¡± ¡°You are still Mrs. Ramsey. You should have a child for the Ramsey family.¡± Alexa¡¯s eyes went red, and she clenched her hands tighter and tighter. ¡°After you divorce Terrence, it is impossible for you to take custody of the child.¡± ¡°Do you mean that I just work as a womb?¡± ¡°If you love him, it is your honor to have a child for him.¡± Alexa trembled with anger, picked up the porridge on the table, and smashed it at Brynlee. ¡°Ah¡­¡± Brynlee screamed in panic and was instantly covered in porridge. She was in a sorry state. ¡°Alexa! You slut!¡± ¡°You? You are not worthy of using me.¡± Alexa sneered. ¡°As long as I want, I can always be Mrs. Ramsey. If you love him, just be a home wrecker for a lifetime.¡± ¡°Shut up! I¡¯ll teach you a lesson.¡± Brynlee swung her fists at Alexa,pletely losing her mind. Alexa subconsciously waved her hand. Brynlee staggered, and her heel suddenly broke. She fell to the ground awkwardly. The bed shook, and Alexa sat on the bed and stared at Brynlee coldly without any pity. ¡°Why should a person like you be Mrs. Ramsey? You are not worthy!¡± ¡°Well, I am not worthy.¡± Alexa responded causally, ¡°But so what?¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Brynlee wanted to continue swearing, but she immediately noticed the noise at the door. Then Brynlee sobbed instantly. ¡°Stop acting!¡± Alexa said impatiently. The moment Terrence entered the ward, everything was a mess. Brynleey on the ground humbly, tears streaming down her face. ¡°Terrence, help me!¡± ¡°What happened?¡± Terrence tried his best to restrain his anger, and he stared at Alexa coldly. ¡°I was here to visit Alexa. However, Alexa seemed to be unhappy and suddenly hit me.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Terrence looked at Alexa, his tone very cold. Alexa did not speak and just looked at them quietly. She wore a mocking smile. Terrence was shocked by Alexa¡¯s gaze. Did Alexa look disappointed? ¡°Terrence, help me exin.¡± Brynlee grabbed his trousers and said with grievance, ¡°If I did something wrong, I would change. Alexa, please don¡¯t hate me anymore, okay?¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Alexa said with a smile, ¡°Don¡¯t appear in front of me again, and I won¡¯t hate you anymore.¡± ¡°Alexa.¡± Terrence said indifferently, ¡°Don¡¯t go overboard.¡± ¡°Go overboard? Well, Mr. Ramsey, can you apologize to me?¡± ¡°You did something wrong.¡± Terrence exined with hisst bit of patience, ¡°You shouldn¡¯t have attacked Brynlee.¡± ¡°You believe whatever she says, don¡¯t you?¡± ¡°The porridge is¡­¡± After Terrence said that, he found that his logic was ridiculous. ¡°Well.¡± Alexa chuckled, ¡°If I said that she was the one who hit herself, Terrence, would you believe me?¡± ¡°No, Terrence!¡± Brynlee panicked, and her face turned pale. ¡°Alexa, how could you do this? It was clearly you¡­¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Alexa shouted with a gloomy face and then looked at Terrence firmly. ¡°Do you believe me?¡± Terrence was silent for a moment, and Alexa¡¯s smile became meaningful. ¡°I won¡¯t malign anyone.¡± Alexa found his words ridiculous. Alexa felt hurt and a chill down her spine. She was very disappointed. ¡°I hit her. I admit it. Is that enough?¡± Alexa sounded very sincere, and Terrence felt furious for no reason. But after seeing that Alexa looked ill, Terrence suddenly began to be angry with himself. Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org. Terrence picked Brynlee up and walked out with a cold face. Meanwhile, he stared at Alexa with a threatening look. Alexa was not afraid and patiently waited for him to get even with her. After a long time, Terrence dide in, but he was not as angry as Alexa imagined. On the contrary, Terrence slowly walked over with a cold smile. Chapter 40 Chapter 40 Chapter 40 You¡¯re Nothing in My Heart ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, you¡¯re so arrogant.¡± Terrence sneered. ¡°Do you think that no matter what you do. I will indulge you?¡± Terrence stood by Alexa¡¯s bedside and leaned forward. He looked indifferent. ¡°Do you think too highly of yourself? Huh?¡± ¡°Terrence, what exactly am I in your heart?¡± ¡°What are you?¡± Terrence said with a faint smile, ¡°You¡¯re nothing in my heart.¡± Alexaughed out loud. What an incredible answer! Just now Terrence showed his deep affection for Brynlee. ¡°I really don¡¯t understand why you love Brynlee so much.¡± Furthermore, it was at the expense of hurting Alexa. Alexa felt very hurt, and she had no courage to finish her speech. ¡°Do you want to know?¡± Terrence raised his eyebrows. Then he said, ¡°Do you deserve it?¡± ¡°Yes, I don¡¯t deserve it.¡± Terrence rolled his eyes and looked very indifferent. In just a few months, Alexa had crossed his bottom line again and again. ¡°Have you been nice to me from the bottom of your heart?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you know?¡± After that, Terrence turned to leave. Alexa was stunned and already used to being ignored by him. Alexa did not even tell Terrence that she went through the discharge procedures. When David came to make rounds, there was no one in the ward. At that time, Terrence and Brynlee came over together, and David immediately stopped them. ¡°Terrence, where¡¯s your wife Alexa?¡± Hearing David¡¯s words, Brynlee immediately became a little displeased. ¡°Wife? Who¡¯s my wife?¡± Terrence said with anger. David was very upset. Terrence had quarreled with Alexa. Why would David be med? ¡°Dr. Cooper, Alexa hurt me just now.¡± Brynlee said, ¡°Maybe she was afraid that Terrence would make her apologize, so she left on her own.¡± ¡°Is that so¡­¡± David replied perfunctorily. Brynlee didn¡¯t make a good impression on him. Bynlee was said to have a bad character, but Terrence was obsessed with her for no reason. ¡°Terrence, let¡¯s go.¡± After that, Terrence indeed followed Brynlee and left. David stood in ce and thought for a long time. He felt increasing that Terrence should also see the doctor. At that moment, Alexa got on the bus. However, it was rush hour in the morning, and it was crowded. Alexa¡¯s fever had just been brought down, and she was still very ufortable. She managed to reach thepany, but she was stillte. Nathan stood at the door of the office fiercely. The moment he saw Alexa, he immediately cursed her. ¡°It¡¯s only been a day, and you are alreadyte. Don¡¯t you know the rules of thepany?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mr. Mann. I will pay more attention next time.¡± ¡°Next time? Stop saying that.¡± Nathan lectured Alexa arrogantly. ¡°You arete today. It¡¯s very bad. Your sry will be deducted 80 dors.¡± ¡°Yes, I will correct it.¡± Alexa wore delicate makeup, and her clothes were fancy and expensive. Nathan sized her up and sneered. ¡°For your record, the Hudson Group ys fair.¡± Nathan raised his voice. ¡°If you think you¡¯re safe with someone backing you, don¡¯t me me for being merciless. Mr. Ramsey can¡¯t tolerate such cheap tricks.¡± Nathan¡¯s words were very harsh as if Alexa was pped in public. Alexa was about to argue, but on second thought, didn¡¯t she have a supporter? But her supporter didn¡¯t love her. ¡°Yes, I understand,¡± Alexa lowered her head and replied humbly. Alexa could even feel the contempt her colleagues showed toward her. ¡°Go clean up the toilet of the president¡¯s office,¡± Nathan ordered casually. ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°But what?¡± Nathan immediately shouted in anger, ¡°Are you here to have fun?¡± ¡°I understand. I will go now,¡± Alexa said in a low voice. Since she was young, Alexa had never done such a thing, let alone been humiliated like this. Alexa thought if only Keyon were here¡­ The moment Alexa thought of Keyon, tears immediately filled her eyes. Alexa wondered, Keyon, where exactly are you? There were always people in the toilet, and Alexa kept her head down, unwilling to let others see her like that. Alexa thought that it was just her punishment because Nathan took it out on her, but all her tasks that day were trivial and tiring, and she didn¡¯t even have time to rest. At noon, Alexa went to the bakery downstairs to buy bread. She was so tired and almost fell asleep, but the whispers of the two women behind her made her very sober. ¡°Do you know the new girl? The one targeted by Mr. Mann.¡± ¡°I know her. I heard that she had a privilege, and Mr. Mann couldn¡¯t stand it.¡± ¡°No, that¡¯s not the case. I heard that she offended the president¡¯s wife. That¡¯s why Mr. Ramsey asked Mr. Mann to do that.¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey? Brynlee?¡± The woman was shocked. ¡°Goodness! Amazing!¡± ¡°I think she overestirnated herself and provoked Mr. Ramsey. Well, how could a good man like Mr. Ramsey fall for her?¡±. Alexa could no longer listen to their conversation and ran away in a sorry state. Sure enough, Nathan had been torturing her for the entire day and kept assigning her unreasonable tasks. Her work in the secretariat had all been piled up, and Alexa had to work overtime. But even so, she did not go soft on Terrence. Terrence was well aware of Alexa¡¯s movements on this day. At the moment, Terrence was in the president¡¯s office, but he was torturing Edwin. Poor Edwin stood in front of Terrence¡¯s desk with a cold sweat, quietly waiting for Terrence to deny all the reports. Edwin watched Terrence¡¯s face be gloomier and gloomier. In the end, Terrence directly waved his hand and threw all the documents. ¡°What are they?¡± Terrence stood up and scolded, ¡°What is the secretariat doing? How dare you hand over this stuff?¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, I¡¯ll make them change immediately!¡± ¡°Is there anyone else in the secretariat?¡± Edwin had a long face. At this point¡­ But Edwin suddenly remembered! ¡°Yes.¡± Not long after, Edwin asked Alexa over and kindly reminded her to be prepared. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. Alexa felt that she was unlucky enough today. She was secretly targeted by Terrence, but now he directly made things difficult for her. Terrence sat seriously on the chair. When he looked up, he was overbearing. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Alexa asked with a cold tone. Alexa stood in front of his desk, indifferent. Well, it seemed that Alexa was still not going to admit her mistake. Terrence was very furious, but he managed to hold back his anger. ¡°Is this what you call hard work?¡± Terrence mocked, He seemed to have many reasons to vent his anger. ¡°Alexa, I think you really don¡¯t know your own ce.¡± Chapter 41 Chapter 41 Chapter 41 Mr. Ramsey Returns Alexa calmly picked up the documents on the ground and took a look. It wasn¡¯t done by her, but the person in charge signed her name. Now that Alexa was a neer, she had no right to defend herself even if she was set up. ¡°Can I change it right now?¡± ¡°Just do it here.¡± Terrence pointed at the table and sent Edwin away with a nce. Now Terrence and Alexa were alone in the huge office, and he stared at her more and more meaningfully However, Alexa ignored him and focused on her work. She seriously corrected the mistakes in the documents. Not long after, Edwin brought in Terrence¡¯s dinner. Alexa still sat on the sofa to modify the documents and was indifferent. Terrence did not care about her and asked Edwin to put the te on the coffee table. Terrence strode over and sat directly beside Alexa. Alexa tilted her head slightly and nced at Terrence from the corner of her eye. ¡°Go on,¡± Terrence said. Alexa had indeed continued, and Terrence was a little upset. He took a bite of food. Alexa didn¡¯t eat well that day, and she was starving. But she had just taken the medicine, and she had no appetite at all. Terrence ate elegantly as he paid attention to Alexa¡¯s work. Terrence sat next to her, while Alexa was a little absent-minded. But at that moment, Terrence suddenly opened his mouth. ¡°Aren¡¯t there only a few mistakes? Why did you correct them for so long?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Alexa said guiltily. ¡°It¡¯s almost done.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t Keyon teach you these things when you were in the Duran¡¯s house?¡± Hearing him say Keyon¡¯s name, Alexa felt as if her heart skipped a beat. Alexa¡¯s family was her weakness, but now ¡­ she only had her brother. Alexa could suffer for the Duran family, but she would not allow others to insult her family. ¡°Terrence, please don¡¯t mention my brother,¡± Alexa said coldly. She tried to be strong. ¡°What? I can¡¯t bring him up?¡± Terrence sneered. ¡°Logically speaking, I¡¯m his brother-inw. We are a family.¡± ¡°No.¡± Alexa said stubbornly, ¡°It won¡¯t be that case very soon.¡± Hearing her say so word by word, Terrence was instantly pissed off. He stood up in anger. ¡°Alexa. Try to say it again?¡± Terrence¡¯s tone was cold. ¡°Have I saved your face?¡± Alexa sat nkly in ce, unable to say a word. ¡°If I hear those words again, I promise you will never see Keyon.¡± Terrence ruthlessly warned her, not saving her any face at all. Alexa found that she was really weak. Other than shedding tears, she could do nothing. ¡°Terrence.¡± Alexa felt very hurt, but she held back her tears and calmly said, ¡°Many people around you love you and care about you, but I¡­ Other than my brother, I have nothing else.¡± Terrence wore a gloomy expression and suddenly saw her tearful eyes. At that moment, he felt disturbed. The person in front of Terrence was Alexa¡­ She used to be the most precious of the Duran Group, but now she was very humble in front of him. However, Alexa would never beg Terrence. ¡°Alexa, good for you,¡± Terrence said through his teeth. After that, Terrence picked up his coat, mmed the door, and left. Alexa stayed alone in the president¡¯s office and burst into tears regardless of anything. She cried out loud, but she still felt bitter. The phone rang. Alexa guessed who it was and immediately kept calm to answer the phone. Kieran exined the results of the report to her, but Alexa could not listen at all. ¡°Dr. Powell,¡± She interrupted Kieran. ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°Are you still in the hospital?¡± Alexa said weakly, ¡°I feel a little ufortable.¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯m.¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll be right there.¡± After the call ended. Kieran immediately rejected the dinner with ra and turned around to go to the hospital. After Alexa came to the hospital, Kieran got her a body check. After half an hour, there was finally a result. ¡°Keep in a good mood. Don¡¯t get emotional.¡± Kieran told Alexa seriously and clearly saw her teary eyes. ¡°In fact, I suggest that you stay in the hospital. In all aspects, the treatment will be much better.¡± Alexa shook her head and was very grateful to Kieran. ¡°Thank you, Dr. Powell.¡± Alexa said helplessly, ¡°My condition is a littleplicated, but I will deal with it soon. After that, I¡¯ll focus on treatment.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Kieran nodded and suddenly remembered. ¡°By the way, it¡¯s veryte. Is it convenient for you to go back? Why don¡¯t I drive you?¡± Alexa did not want to go back, but she agreed to Kieran for no reason. ¡°Alright, wait a moment,¡± Kieran replied gently. This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . He took off his white coat. Kieran was dressed in a dark blue suit, and he looked calm and mature against that suit. Alexa had seen many men in suits, but she rarely saw someone as gentle as Kieran. After knowing each other for so long, they had be much more familiar, and they were no longer as restrained as before. Alexa naturally followed Kieran into the car and suddenly felt she was a little hungry. ¡°Have you had dinner, Dr. Powell?¡± ¡°Not yet.¡± ¡°Shall we grab a bite together?¡± Alexa smiled. ¡°I¡¯ll buy you dinner.¡± Kieran smiled gently and asked, ¡°What do you want?¡± ¡°There¡¯s a small restaurant in the east of the city. Have you been there!¡±. The moment Alexa finished speaking, she immediately regretted it. How could someone like Kieran go to that small restaurant to eat? ¡°No, I haven¡¯t.¡± Kieran replied, ¡°But I can give it a try.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Alexa said in relief, ¡°You will definitely be satisfied.¡± Just as Alexa happily talked to Kieran, he suddenly made an emergency stop. It was not because of the red light in front, but because the car next to him stopped and almost hit the front of Kieran¡¯s car. Kieran¡¯s face suddenly turned a little gloomy. He pressed down the window silently, and Alexa followed his gaze. With just a nce, Alexa was shocked. Didn¡¯t Terrence leave? Terrence ced a hand on the car window and stared daggers at Alexa. After a moment of silence, Terrence¡¯s face grew gloomier. ¡°Do you want toe over yourself, or do you want me to pick you up?¡± There were only twenty or so seconds left before the light turned green. Given Terrence¡¯s personality, if Alexa didn¡¯t do as he said, the consequences would be terrifying. Alexa felt her face burning hot. In front of Kieran, she lost her self-esteem. ¡°I am sorry, Dr. Powell.¡± Alexa looked at Kieran apologetically. ¡°I might have to go first¡­¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Kieran looked at her gently. ¡°If you need help, you can call me anytime.¡± Chapter 42 Chapter 42 Chapter 42 She Cares a Lot About Kieran ¡°Thank you,¡± Alexa spoke out in gratitude, Then, she immediately pushed the door open and got out of the car, walking towards Terrence¡¯s car. Terrence continued to stare at Kieran, putting on a provocative and mocking face. Kieran paid no attention to Terrence at all, let alone take him seriously. As soon as the light turned green, Kieran took the lead and drove away. Alexa sat in the passenger seat of Terrence¡¯s car but was not as happy as she had been in Kieran¡¯s car Terrence closed the window tightly, and the smile on his face instantly disappeared. ¡°Give me your phone.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Alexa asked in confusion. ¡°Give it to me.¡± Terrence raised his voice. Alexa had to take out her phone and hand it to Terrence. Terrence gave her a cold look, snatched it, and directly found Kieran¡¯s number. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Is she nervous? Why does she care so much about Kieran? Terrence thought. Terrence shouted fiercely, ¡°Shut up!¡± Then, he dialed Kieran¡¯s number. Kieran quickly picked up the call, and Terrence¡¯s face was even colder. ¡°Ms. Duran, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Kieran asked in a normal tone. ¡°Mr. Powell,¡± Terrence ridiculed, ¡°I heard that your father hasn¡¯t been feeling very well. Why are you still in the mood to see my wife so often?¡± Since it was Terrence on the phone, Kieran did not need to be gentle. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about my father, Mr. Ramsey. The Powell family can solve its own problems.¡± ¡°Then why would you get yourself involved in my family¡¯s business? Huh?¡± ¡°No matter what you say or do, it won¡¯t affect my decision.¡± ¡°Kieran Powell, I think you are courting your own death.¡± Terrence¡¯s fierce words instantly made Alexa¡¯s face turn pale. She wanted to take back her phone, but the car was going faster. Kieran said something to Terrence and further angered him. After hanging up the phone, Terrence directly threw Alexa¡¯s phone into the back seat. Hearing a piercing shattering sound, Alexa closed her eyes and tried to ept everything calmly. ¡°Alexa, you really know how to test my limits.¡± After Terrence said this, he pressed down the gas pedal, and the top-end Maybach instantly rushed out at the highest speed. ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Alexa held the seat belt tightly, her heart beating extremely fast. ¡°Please don¡¯t do this. I was wrong. I¡¯ve really learned my lesson..¡± ¡°Really?¡± Terrence¡¯s thin lips parted slightly as he stepped on the brakes. Alexa trembled all over as if she had just escaped death. Her heartbeat still made her feel extremely ufortable. ¡°Why would you be wrong?¡± Terrence looked straight at Alexa. ¡°When you were together, were you happy?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not like that.¡± ¡°Do you feel sad to be stuck with me?¡± ¡°I never thought that way.¡± ¡°Since you like him so much, I will take you to the Powell¡¯s house to get engaged now, okay?¡± ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Alexa suddenly felt deeply helpless. However, no matter what she did or said, Terrence would not believe her, but he had to keep on guessing. ¡°Alexa, you¡¯d better remember this, ¡°Terrence ordered, ¡°I have limited patience. It¡¯s not your lucky day.¡± ¡°What do you want?¡± Alexa shuddered and subconsciously wanted to stay away from Terrence. But Terrence fiercely grabbed Alexa¡¯s wrist and pulled her over. ¡°What should I do to make you learn your lesson for good? ¡°I¡¯ve already made a lot of concessions. I didn¡¯t even do anything to the Powell family. ¡°Alexa, tell me, what do you think I should do?¡± Terrence uttered these words in a low voice near Alexa¡¯s neck. Alexa could feel his breath on her tender skin as she trembled incessantly in Terrence¡¯s arms. ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Alexa called out to him uncontrobly, her voice trembling. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. She was afraid. Alexa wondered, what is this exactly? Terrence refused to let Alexa go, and she was entirely at his mercy. Terrence¡¯s thin, cold lips brushed past her neck, earlobe, temple, and the corner of her eye.. Alexa could even feel that he wanted to go down¡­ Just as Terrence was about to touch the corner of Alexa¡¯s mouth, he suddenly raised his eyes, his eyes cold. Alexa nervously closed her eyes, and before she came back to her senses, Terrence suddenly pushed her away. Alexa instantly gasped in pain as her thin back bumped against the car door. Terrence, on the other hand, seemed to have nothing to do with it as he sat down neatly in his clothes and made a call. His words were very short, but Alexa could feel that he was very gentle at the moment. Needless to say, the person on the other side of the line must be Brynlee. Alexa tidied up her clothes quickly and consciously chose to be silent. Terrence responded a few times as if he had promised Brynlee something. After hanging up the phone, he nced at Alexa indifferently. ¡°Brynlee wille to visit tonight. Don¡¯t show yourself in front of her.¡± What? Alexa thought. She found that she actually could not understand Terrence¡¯s words now. ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°But what?¡± Terrence frowned. ¡°I am not asking for your opinion.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Alexa nodded and just agreed. Sure enough, just as Terrence said, as soon as they entered the living room, Brynlee was already waiting on the sofa in her sleeping robe, looking like the hostess. ¡°Alexa, you guys are back!¡± Brynlee¡¯s bottom wiggled as she walked up to them. Then she stepped on Terrence¡¯s foot without any hesitation. Brynlee wrapped her arms around his waist and kissed him on the lips. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, you¡¯ve worked hard today.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine as long as you are here.¡± ¡°I got you hot wine.¡± Brynlee raised her eyes. ¡°Alexa, are you joining us?¡± ¡°No, thanks.¡± Alexa replied indifferently and went straight upstairs. However, Brynlee did not intend to let her off so easily. She immediately caught up with Alexa and held her arm. ¡°Alexa, are you still worried about what happened in the morning?¡± Brynlee said obligingly, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. I have already forgiven you.¡± ¡°Forgive me?¡± Brynlee¡¯s words immediately irritated Alexa. ¡°I feel disgusted just by looking at you.¡± Alexa said coldly and shook off Brynlee¡¯s arm in front of Terrence. ¡°Ah¡­.¡± Brynlee moaned, taking advantage of the situation and falling into Terrence¡¯s arms. ¡°Alexa, stop.¡± ¡°I¡¯d better not.¡± Alexa mocked, ¡°Cherish your time together, Mr. Ramsey.¡± ¡°Alexa, don¡¯t take this the wrong way. I¡¯m not here to sleep with him.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to exin it to me,¡± Alexa immediately interrupted, ¡°what does it have to do with me whether youe or not?¡± I know you hate me, but now, I¡¯m willing to let you be Mrs. Ramsey.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t,¡± Alexa enunciated, ¡°and I don¡¯t care.¡± Hearing her say this, Terrence immediately looked very upset. Chapter 43 Chapter 43 Chapter 43 Saving Yourself for Him ¡°Alexa! Stop right there!¡± Terrence spoke with a gloomy face, and tension suddenly built up in the room. Brynlee leaned proudly in Terrence¡¯s arms, a smile on her pretty face. A woman like Alexa did not call for cleverer methods. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Aloud female voice sounded at the door, attracting everyone¡¯s attention, N?velDrama.Org owns all content. Terrence immediately looked much less angry. Rebekah strode in and red at Terrence fiercely. Then, she looked at Brynlee in a very unfriendly manner. ¡°This is the home of my daughter-inw and son. What are you doing here?¡± Brynlee immediately put on a pitiful face again and nudged against Terrence¡¯s chest timidly. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey¡­ I¡¯m just here to visit Alexa.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Rebekah asked with a disgusted look in her eyes. ¡°Do you need to dress like this?¡± Brynlee looked down at the slightly revealing nightgown on her, and her entire face flushed. ¡°A lowly person like you is indeed not seen often.¡± ¡°Mom, aren¡¯t you going too far?¡± Terrence¡¯s face was dark, and he immediately stood up for Brynlee. ¡°I asked Brynlee here.¡± ¡°I am going too far?¡± Rebekah smiled. ¡°Who is going too far? I raised you better than this!¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, please do not me Terrence. It¡¯s all my fault.¡± ¡°What right do you have to tell me what to do? Get out of here immediately.¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, it¡¯s already sote. How could you ask me to leave?¡± Brynlee tried her best to hold back her hatred. She thought, this damn old woman is really hard to deal with. Can¡¯t she understand humannguage? Rebekah¡¯s patience ran outpletely, and she smacked Brynlee¡¯s face hard. Even Alexa was stunned. In her impression, although her mother-inw was sometimes very strict, she would definitely not lose her mind, but Alexa really did not expect that Brynlee could actually force Rebekah into doing this. ¡°Mom!¡± Terrence tried hard to suppress the anger. ¡°If you want to hit somebody, just hit me. Don¡¯t vent your anger towards Brynlee.¡± ¡°Do you think I won¡¯t hit you?¡± Rebekah sneered. ¡°Brynlee, get out of here immediately. Otherwise, I will take a picture of you and post it online. Your fans and investors probably don¡¯t want to know that you are a homewrecker, right?¡± ¡°Terrence¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s useless for you to beg him. If you beg Alexa, it might be helpful, but only if she forgives you.¡± Brynlee would rather be killed than beg Alexa. With a red mark on her face, Brynlee wrapped herself in the coat. Before she left, she did not forget to maintain the little dignity left with her. ¡°Terrence, I¡¯m going home. See you next time.¡± Terrence said apologetically, ¡°Sorry.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Rebekah waved her hand. ¡°Quit your acting here. If she doesn¡¯t disappear in front of me forever, Terrence, you can get out with her.¡± Brynlee gritted her teeth and left ignominiously. ¡°Mom, what are you doing?¡± ¡°Alexa,e here.¡± Seeing Alexae over, Terrence took a step to the side with a disgusted expression and immediately kept his distance from her. His movements were extremely obvious, and it was impossible for Alexa not to see. However, Alexa wasn¡¯t affected and just looked at Rebekah with clear eyes. Rebekah took out an envelope from her handbag and handed it to Terrence. ¡°What is this?¡± ¡°Gavyn came to me today.¡± Rebekah¡¯s face darkened. ¡°He gave me 300 thousand dors in exchange for you two getting divorced.¡± When Alexa heard this, her face instantly paled. ¡°Rebekah¡­¡± She bit her lips, not knowing what to say. ¡°Terrence, what the hell are you doing?¡± Rebekah berated Terrence. Terrence opened the envelope. It was indeed a check signed by Gavyn. Although his expression did not change, a strange emotion surged in his heart in an instant. Terrence even felt like killing someone. Gavyn¡­ How dare he?Terrence thought. He narrowed his eyes slightly and quietly balled up the check. ¡°I got it.¡± ¡°!ust got it? I want you to take action.¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Terrence agreed very readily, and Alexa and Rebekah were both surprised. ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. I¡¯ll ask the driver to send you back.¡± ¡°You better not disappoint me.¡± ¡°Got it.¡± After sending Rebekah off, Alexa heaved a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to walk back, Terrence grabbed her forcefully. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Alexa trembled in shock. ¡°Come with me.¡± Terrence grabbed her wrist instead, drawing her all the way to the bedroom. ¡°Was it you?¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°Did you send Gavyn?¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± Alexa asked in disbelief. ¡°Why do you think it was me?¡± ¡°Since you met Kieran, haven¡¯t you always wanted to divorce?¡± ¡°Who am I to use Mr. Walton?¡± ¡°You just said that you don¡¯t care to be Mrs. Ramsey, didn¡¯t you?¡± Alexa thought, so this is what he¡¯s thinking. Is it not that he wants to divorce and let me take the me? ¡°Terrence, what¡¯s the point?¡± Alexa spoke word by word. ¡°If you can never believe me, then why don¡¯t we just divorce now?¡± ¡°Alexa!¡± Terrence snapped. ¡°Say it again if you dare!¡± ¡°Did I say anything wrong?¡± Alexa asked. ¡°Isn¡¯t that what you¡¯ve been thinking?¡± ¡°Yes, yes.¡± Terrence smiled maliciously. ¡°Can¡¯t you hold your horses before being with another man?¡± ¡°Sure, and I will invite you to the wedding. After all, you are my ex-husband.¡± Alexa¡¯s wordspletely enraged Terrence. He directly pushed her down on the bed. ¡°So, are you saving yourself for him?¡± Terrence sounded cruel and mean. Alexa was so scared that she wanted to dodge, but her struggle was futile. Terrence pressed her under him tightly. His muscr body suddenly weighed on Alexa, and the pain of the wound spread all over her body. Alexa cried out in a low voice, almost crying out in pain. ¡°Get off me. You¡¯re pressing my wound. It hurts!¡± ¡°Drop the act.¡± Terrence coldly pulled open Alexa¡¯s shirt. Seeing the bloodstain on her chest, he immediately stopped his crazy actions. Alexa heard him curse in a low voice as Terrence immediately left her. ¡°Wait here. I¡¯ll go find the medical kit.¡± Alexa was in so much pain that she could not make a sound. She justy there quietly and felt the warmth gradually spread. It was not the first time she had experienced such a thing, but now Alexa hoped that the situation would be worse and more irreparable¡­ Alexa wondered what would happen if she lost her life now. Would anyone cry for her? Would anyone remember her? What about Terrence? Alexa¡¯s imagination ran wild until Terrence returned to her side. ¡°Sorry,¡± he said in a low voice, ¡°don¡¯t cry. It¡¯s my fault.¡± Terrence¡¯s words turned the pressure and uneasiness in Alexa¡¯s heart into tears, which quickly wet her clothes. At that moment, Terrence was actually a little flustered. Chapter 44 Chapter 44 Chapter 44 Can You Treat Me Humanely? ¡°Alexa, I¡¯m sorry. Can you stop crying now?¡± Terrence¡¯s tone, no longer overbearing, sounded as if he was making a request uneasily. He thought, her wound must be very painful now. He, who hade back to his senses now, regretted ever treating Alexa like that. ¡°I¡¯ll apply medicine for you.¡± ¡°Terrence, why are you always like this?¡± Alexa wept. ¡°I try to exin and prove myself every time you question me. But it turns out that all my efforts were in vain. ¡°I never get in the way of you loving Brynlee. ¡°And I was resigned to it when you divorced me. ¡°But what did I get in exchange? Terrence, I wonder why I stoop this low.¡± Alexa seemed to have calmed down a bit after all the words poured out. Meanwhile, Terrence just listened quietly as he applied medicine for her. Then, he wrapped up the wound. All the while, Terrence acted as if there wasn¡¯t a note of hysteria in Alexa¡¯s voice at all. That made Alexa¡¯s heart sink. ¡°What do you want from me then?¡± Terrence asked her. Alexa thought, what do I want from him? Alexa pondered over the sentence and thought, I feel a fool now, with him appearing that nonchnt. ¡°All I want is to be treated humanely. Am I asking too much?¡± Terrence pondered over her words, be treated humanely¡­ Terrence was pierced to the heart with anger. Then he retorted. ¡°You haven¡¯t been treated humanely during the two years in the Ramsey family?¡± But Alexa didn¡¯t reply. Instead, she lowered her head to tidy up her clothes a bit. There was no answer to his question. Communication with him was just useless. ¡°If you agree to divorce after Dad¡¯s sixtieth birthday, then we separate until then,¡± Alexa said rationally. ¡°But if you don¡¯t agree, I will sign the divorce paper now.¡± Terrence heard every word she said clearly, during which he let out augh, which sounded rather mocking ¡°I am serious. That¡¯s a solution to the problem.¡± Alexa said solemnly. ¡°Solution? That is not a solution. It can¡¯t solve any problems at all.¡± ¡°Then what do you have in mind?¡± Terrence sorted out the medicine box, and his eyes were deep. ¡°What do you mean by separating? Where do you wanna go?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Alexa was frank. ¡°But don¡¯t worry. I will get back to you and sign the divorce paper as arranged.¡± ¡°Alexa, the world out there is cruel.¡± Terrence couldn¡¯t bear it anymore. Therefore, he stopped acting frivolously. Looking at him, Alexa felt like she had mishandled something at work and was thus scolded by her employer. ¡°Why do you think those enemies, creditors, and shareholders of your family didn¡¯t reach out to you after your family¡¯s bankruptcy?¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes shed. ¡°That is all because you are Mrs. Ramsey!¡± Alexa thought, Terrence, how kind of you! Then as Alexaughed, tears welled up in her eyes. ¡°Therefore, I should admire you and be obedient to you like a pet, right?¡± ¡°A pet knows how to please its owner. And you?¡± Terrence leaned over and pinched her chin forcefully, resisting the temptation of wanting to crush her bones. He thought, maybe I need to hurt her a bit so as to make her more agreeable. ¡°Obey me without question, and maybe I will consider finding Keyon for you.¡± Right now, they were just like enemies, torturing each other harshly while hurting themselves as well. ¡°Just stay here.¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes were full of anger. ¡°And I will go since staying here with you will only make me sick.¡± ¡°Alexa closed his eyes, feeling worn out. Noticing that, Terrence threw her to the side fiercely. And when he left the room. he flung the medicine box in his hand, which he just sorted out, away as if he was venting his anger. Alexa shuddered at that and didn¡¯t get out of bed until quite a whileter. Then she picked up the broken ss pieces expressionlessly before throwing them away. Alexa felt deeply hurt. But there was nothing she could do. Therefore, she squatted on the ground, crying. Her body was trembling from the cry. Meanwhile, Aron was dealing with something that he found very tricky. It was Terrence, who was sitting in front of him while drinking nonstop. Looking at all the dozen or so empty wine bottles, Aron was worried. ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Aron mustered up his courage and asked cautiously, ¡°What upset you? Let me solve it for you.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Terrence cast him an iparably sharp gaze. Aron was so frightened that he almost lost his bnce. However, he did know that ¡°Alexa¡± was taboo when talking to Terrence now. ¡°Terrence, drinking is harmful to your health.¡± Aron decided to talk Terrence out of it regardless. ¡°How about I have people drive you back now?¡± ¡°Get out!¡± ¡°All right.¡± Aron hurried to run out of the room as Terrence asked. Noticing that Aron was devastated,ing out of the room, all the waiters knew something was off. Aron thought, could it be that Terrence had a row with Alexa again? Aron shivered at the thought of this. Then Aron thought, but¡­ That seems unlikely since Terrence wouldn¡¯t have been so childish. Meanwhile, inside the room, Terrence had just finished another bottle of whiskey. He rubbed his forehead a bit, but still felt very frustrated. ¡°Aron,e in,¡± He shouted loudly. Hearing that, Aron rushed back into the room right off. ¡°Call Alexa now.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Aron thought Alexa would be able to rid him of Terrence. In Aron¡¯s eyes, Alexa was the only one Terrence would listen to. Soon, Aron got through to Alexa. He then put on a ttering smile, saying, ¡°Dear Alexa, Terrence is drunk. Can youe here now? We¡¯re in the same ce.¡± But soon, Aron¡¯s expression changed. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Terrence frowned. ¡°Alexa has hung up the phone.¡± Hearing this, Terrence looked gloomy right away. This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . ¡°What did she say?¡± ¡°She said none of her business.¡± Aron knew that he was gonna be rmed by Terrence¡¯s violent outburst right away. ¡°Was that really what she said?¡± Terrence asked, displeased. ¡°How can you fail to understand what she said?¡± ¡°That was exactly what she said.¡± ¡°Call her again.¡± ¡°Terrence, I don¡¯t think I¡¯m in the position to make the call. Will it be better if you are the one who calls? Terrence¡¯s face was gloomy. Then he took Aron¡¯s phone. The phone was picked up again. Terrence said in a deep voice, ¡°Alexa.¡± The next thing Terrence knew, a busy tone sounded. Alexa had hung up his phone. Chapter 45 Chapter 45 Chapter 45 He Doesn¡¯t Need My Concern Aron did not know what the person on the other side of the line said, but it looked like the man in front of him must have been rejected. ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Aron rubbed his hands and wanted to say something but stopped. Terrence threw his phone back with a sinister expression and then opened a bottle of wine. ¡°Call Brynlee.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Ever since Alexa hung up Terrence¡¯s call, she tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. Alexa wondered, Terrence is an adult, but why is he still so childish? Thest time I went to the clubhouse to pick him up, he also drank a lot of wine. Did he want to die? Thinking about it, Alexa sat up, simply cleaned up, and prepared to pick Terrence up. However, her phone rang, and she got a message. It was a picture from Brynlee, and the main character was Terrence. Terrence was sleeping peacefully on a strange big bed. There was a mess of men¡¯s and women¡¯s clothes on the ground. Brynlee texted, ¡°Terrence drank so much, but why didn¡¯t you pick him up?¡± Brynlee asked Alexa with anger. Seeing this message, Alexa threw away the coat she had just picked up in frustration and replied to Brynlee. Alexa replied, ¡°He doesn¡¯t need my concern at all.¡± When Brynlee saw Alexa¡¯s reply, she immediately revealed a charming smile and rushed to Terrence. ¡°Terrence, I contacted Alexa, but she was unwilling toe.¡± Terrence, who was resting, opened his eyes slowly. His eyes were filled with indifference and alienation. ¡°I didn¡¯t need her toe.¡± ¡°Okay, I will stay with you.¡± After throwing away the phone, Alexay in bed wearily and had a nightmare for the whole night. When she got up the next morning, she looked as haggard as if she hadn¡¯t slept for a few days and nights. However, she unexpectedly received a call from Tiana, ¡°Alexa, It was you who corrected all the wrong documentsst night, right? I¡¯m really sorry. It was the fault of the other employees,¡± Tiana said kindly. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, Tiana. At that time, Mr. Ramsey called me, so I went over.¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey is very satisfied. I have already applied to the finance department to raise your sry this month.¡± The negative emotions in Alexa¡¯s heart were instantly swept away when she was praised again at work after so many years. ¡°Thank you, Ms. Duffy.¡± After talking to Tiana on the phone, Alexa was full of energy to put on delicate light makeup. Seeing she was different from her usual self in the mirror, Alexa had a faint smile on her face. She felt that the once high-spirited princess of the Duran Group seemed to have returned. Alexa went downstairs full of spirit and saw Terrence sitting at the table. She was stunned for a moment. She thought, when did hee back? ¡°Good morning, Mrs. Ramsey,¡± Mina smiled and greeted her. ¡°Come and have breakfast. There are fresh shrimps today.¡± ¡°Okay, thank you, Mina.¡± Alexa replied politely and then sat down on the other end of the table with a smile. Terrence had been eating the food on the te seriously and was still angry with Alexa in his heart, but he waited for a long time, and Alexa did not take the initiative to talk to him. He thought, she seemed to be in a good mood today. Why is she happy? Terrence narrowed his eyes and looked at her smiling face with his cold gaze. ¡°Why are youughing?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I have disturbed you.¡± Alexa raised her hand to block the lower half of her face. Terrence never expected that Alexa would not reply to his question directly. He wanted to say something but stopped. In the end, he returned to his cold appearance and did not speak again. Alexa was not affected by him at all. While eating the food on the te, she took her phone and sent a message. Terrence had been secretly observing Alexa all this time. He put down the knife and fork and took the cup, but Alexa did not pay attention to his movements at all. Terrence thought, who is she chatting with? Is she sharing her joy with others? But I remember that she doesn¡¯t have any friends. Terrence analyzed it silently, and then he was depressed. Alexa made an appointment for a physical examination with Kieran and chatted. She had no idea that Terrence had already gotten up and walked toward her. ¡°Eat your meal. Don¡¯t y on your phone,¡± Terrence said as he snatched the phone from her hand. Alexa was startled and looked up at him in shock. Terrence didn¡¯t flip through her phone, but a moment before the screen went out, he identally nced at the screen. It was a chat page with Kieran. He thought, my guess is correct. Terrence secretly gritted his teeth, and anger immediately rose from the bottom of his heart. He wanted to smash the phone immediately, but he endured it and suppressed his anger. He pretended that nothing had happened and put her phone aside. Seeing Terrence, Alexa immediately remembered that there was no result for what they had talked aboutst night. ¡°Have you thought about what I said?¡± ¡°Do you think that your matter is worth my attention?¡± Alexa was not angry and said calmly again. Terrence¡¯s face darkened when he heard Alexa¡¯s words. Alexa reached out to get the milk cup, but Terrence knocked it over. The harmonious atmosphere immediately froze. The warm milk sshed all over Alexa¡¯s body. The ss smashed into the wall, and debris flew everywhere. Mina and the others were all shocked. Seeing that something was wrong, they immediately stepped forward to mediate. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Mrs. Ramsey, please calm down.¡± Terrence turned a deaf ear and stared at Alexa. ¡°Alexa, please behave yourself. Don¡¯t make me angry.¡± The milk flowed down her hair, and Alexa clenched her fists, wishing she could p Terrence in the face. Alexa thought, but I can¡¯t do that now. I knew Terrence¡¯s power and means. What if he makes a move against Keyon¡­ Alexa clenched her teeth and put down all her dignity. ¡°Sorry,¡± she lowered her head and said weakly. ¡°It¡¯s my fault for not thinking carefully. Don¡¯t be angry.¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey¡­¡± Mina said nkly. She sympathized with Alexa. She thought, Mr. Ramsey is really going too far this time! Terrence personally witnessed Alexa¡¯s reaction, and something seemed to suddenly copse in his heart. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. He thought, what was Alexa saying? Was she apologizing? I had obtained the dominance that I wanted, but why did I feel I was like a loser and my flesh and blood as if being eaten by thousands of insects? He sneered, grabbed his suit jacket, and left the room in the blink of an eye. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, Mr. Ramsey has gone too far by treating you like this! I¡¯ll tell his parents right away!¡± Mina said indignantly. Alexa immediately pulled her and said with a wry smile, ¡°Mina, it is just a small matter. Don¡¯t tell his parents. Don¡¯t cause any trouble.¡± ¡°Silly child¡­¡± Mina tenderly touched Alexa¡¯s face and could not help but shed tears Chapter 46 Chapter 46 Chapter 46 Make Fun of Her ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. This conflict is nothing to me.¡± After all, she had experienced the despair of family destruction. Except for death, other things were simply insignificant to her. ¡°If your parents know that you came to the Ramsey family to suffer, they must be very sad.¡± As she heard Mina mention her parents, Alexa¡¯s heart throbbed fiercely, but in the end, she returned to calm. ¡°As long as the Duran family is still alive, my home is still there.¡± Alexa sighed and went back to her room to freshen up. Finally, she changed into her old clothes and went to thepany without makeup. Although she wasn¡¯tte today, Nathan was still making things difficult for her. ¡°I heard that you were left behind by Mr. Ramseyst night.¡± Nathan squinted insidiously. ¡°What did you do there?¡± Alexa cleaned the floor silently and didn¡¯t even look at him. ¡°If you want to know, you can ask Mr. Ramsey in person.¡± ¡°You¡­ Don¡¯t be so mean.¡± Nathan threatened. ¡°Let me tell you. Don¡¯t try to y tricks. Otherwise, if you offend someone, you¡¯ll be fired!¡± ¡°Okay, I know.¡± Alexa¡¯s calm attitude made Nathan angry. He was annoyed, so he secretly added more work to Alexa. Alexa epted all the tasks without any objection. Only when she was busy could she feel that she was still alive. Nathan, who was standing aside, took pleasure in her misfortune. He didn¡¯t expect that Edwin would suddenlye. ¡°Edwin,¡± Nathan said with a ttering smile. ¡°What can I do for you? I¡¯ll arrange for someone to handle it right away.¡± Edwin casually assigned several tasks and then turned to look at Alexa. A cold light suddenly shed across Edwin¡¯s calm eyes behind the sses. Out of the corner of his eye, he nced at the person beside him. ¡°Isn¡¯t this new girl from the CEO¡¯s office? Why is she here? ¡°Edwin, she wanted to do all these things herself,¡± Nathan exined tactfully. ¡°Really?¡± Edwin said in a cold voice. ¡°All she needs to do is to do her job well. Haven¡¯t you told her?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not like that.¡± Nathan approached him mysteriously. ¡°In fact, Ms. Walton asked me to do so.¡± ¡°Ms. Walton?¡± Edwin¡¯s eyes suddenly turned cold, and the pressure around him immediately increased. Nathan didn¡¯t dare to lie to him. ¡°Yes. This new girl always wants to seduce Mr. Ramsey. That¡¯s why Ms. Walton asked me to teach her a lesson.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Edwin sneered, ¡°You seem to have misunderstood something, Nathan.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°Is Ms. Walton your boss?¡± ¡°No, but she and Mr. Ramsey¡­¡± ¡°As the director of the human resources department, your performance is indeed very disappointing,¡± Edwin said word by word. ¡°Mr. Ramsey asked me to tell you that you have been fired.¡± What¡­ What?! Nathan was immediately stunned. Obviously, he was following Brynlee¡¯s order. How could Terrence fire him?! Edwin didn¡¯t give him a chance to exin but walked up to Alexa. ¡°Ms. Duran, could you please make a cup of coffee for Mr. Ramsey?¡± Alexa raised her head in surprise and saw the man with bright eyes. She smiled gently. ¡°Edwin, the Hudson Group has a professional barista. Why do you want me to do that for him?¡± Alexa was so smart that Edwin was afraid that she would find something wrong. But he didn¡¯t know that he was not good at lying in front of Alexa. ¡°Mr. Ramsey is not satisfied with the coffee they made. I have no choice but toe to you.¡± Thinking of Terrence¡¯s bad attitude this morning, Alexa didn¡¯t want to talk to him at all. Under Edwin¡¯s expectant gaze, she said four words slowly ¡°I can¡¯t make coffee.¡± Edwin was rendered speechless. Looking at Edwin¡¯s expression as if he was facing a formidable enemy, Alexa chuckled. ¡°I have an unfinished ss of milk on my desk. If he wants it, you can take it to him, Edwin.¡± Edwin said ¡°thank you to them and rushed there. Not long after, a ss of cold milk appeared on Terrence¡¯s desk ¡°Where is Alexa?¡± Terrence asked ¡°Mr. Ramsey. Mrs. Ramsey is busy now, so she asked me to bring this here * ¡°What¡¯s this? ¡°Milk.¡± Edwin lied, ¡°It was Mrs. Ramsey who asked me to bring it here¡± Terrence didn¡¯t say a word, with a meaningful look in his eyes. So, was she reminding him of what happened this morning? Terrence rubbed the ss with his cold fingers and drank up the milk without saying anything T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. When Alexa returned to her seat, there was a box of exquisitely packaged chocte and a bouquet of red roses on the table. All her colleagues around her were ¡°observing¡± her. ¡°Amira, who sent it here?¡± Alexa asked her colleague in confusion. With a subtle smile on her face, Amira replied, ¡°Edwin brought it for you.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Be asked curiously. ¡°Alexa, do you have a boyfriend?¡± ¡°No, no, no,¡± Alexa exined with a blush. ¡°Maybe someone sent it to the wrong person.¡± ¡°That¡¯s impossible. Edwin said it himself. This is for you,¡± Amira said with certainty. ¡°Alexa, don¡¯t be shy,¡± said Kaya. ¡°Who is he? How long have you been together?¡± Alexa found a random excuse to change the topic. Then she gave the chocte and roses to her colleagues. At this time, Tiana came in and announced ¡°An investment meeting will be held in twenty minutes. Alexa,e with me to take notes.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa immediately took the tools and went to the meeting room with Tiana. But Alexa didn¡¯t expect that she was on the back side of Terrence¡¯s right hand. When she was struggling, Terrence and many senior executives came in. As they passed by, Terrence greeted her warmly. ¡°Have a seat.¡± Alexa sat down immediately, feeling nervous all over. From her point of view, she could see Terrence clearly. Alexa was absorbed in the video. Suddenly, her phone vibrated. It was a message from Terrence! The message read, ¡°Have you received chocte and flowers?¡± She knew every word, but when they were together, she was stunned. Alexa was wondering how to reply when no one spoke at the meeting table in front of her. Tiana tried her best to remind her. Alexa looked up and met Terrence¡¯s smiling eyes. Everyone was looking at her! Alexa¡¯s breath stopped, and her head was buzzing. ¡°Ms. Duran, were you mind-absented just now?¡± Terrence¡¯s tone was gentle and even a little pleased. Alexa frowned. It turned out that he made a fool of her on purpose! Chapter 47 Chapter 47 Chapter 47 Who¡¯s the President¡¯s Wife? ¡°I¡¯m sorry. Mr. Ramsey.¡± Alexa held her breath and said, ¡°I¡¯ll be careful.¡± Terrence tapped the table with his slender fingers from time to time. The atmosphere in the huge meeting room was terribly quiet. Even Tiana couldn¡¯t help but feel nervous. Alexa closed herptop and was ready to be kicked out. ¡°Be careful next time,¡± Terrence said indifferently. All of a sudden, everyone looked at Alexa as if she was a monster. They all thought, who is this girl? How can Mr. Ramsey forgive her? ¡°I will.¡± Obviously, Alexa was also frightened. She almost lost her pen when she was writing Terrence never picked up his phone again, and she didn¡¯t reply to his message. Alexa stood behind him and watched him in silence. Her heart was still beating fast. Terrence, wherever he went, was always the focus of attention. The meeting ended soon. Alexa stood up and was about to leave Terrence. But Tiana took her directly to Terrence. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, I¡¯m sorry. It¡¯s our fault,¡± Tiana said in neither a humble nor pushy tone. ¡°It¡¯s my fault that I didn¡¯t tell her what she should do. Please punish us.¡± Terrence didn¡¯t say a word. He just looked at Alexa behind Tiana. She lowered her head and refused to look at him. Although Alexa was not angry, Terrence could feel that she was secretly resisting him. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. One mistake is tolerable for neers,¡± Terrence said gently. He didn¡¯t mean to me them. ¡°Thank you, Mr Ramsey.¡± Tiana reminded Alexa in a calm voice. Alexa said reluctantly, Thank you, Mr. Ramsey.¡± ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡± The crisis was finally solved. After leaving the meeting room, Tiana lectured Alexa all the way. Alexa looked at her innocently, which softened Tiana¡¯s heart immediately. ¡°You¡­¡± Tiana said helplessly. ¡°Fortunately, Mr. Ramsey didn¡¯t me you. You¡¯re lucky. Send the meeting report to Mr. Ramsey.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa especially touched up on her makeup to encourage herself. Then she went to Terrence¡¯s office with some documents. Unfortunately, Terrence was not busy with work now, but leisurely sitting on the sofa and drinking coffee. Alexa tensed up and walked toward his desk stiffly. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, I¡¯ll put the files on the table for you.¡± Alexa tried her best to make her words emotionless, but Terrence kept staring at her, which made her feel guilty. There was a rustling sound behind her. Alexa turned around in fear. Terrence appeared at the door, and it was closed. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Alexa realized something was wrong and stepped back subconsciously. ¡°You haven¡¯t answered my question yet.¡± Terrence approached her slowly. ¡°Chocte and flowers, do you like them?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t know?¡± Terrence frowned and chuckled. ¡°Why don¡¯t you know?¡± ¡°I have given them to my colleague. Do you want some, Mr. Ramsey?¡± Alexa asked deliberately with a smile on her face. Terrence¡¯s eyes twinkled, and he easily grabbed her wrist. ¡°Can you give me what I want ¡°Let me go ¡°Alexa frowned, ¡°I have to go back to work.¡± ¡°Work?¡± Terrence pulled hard, and Alexa staggered a few steps. Then she fell into his arms and was held from behind. Looking at the arms around her waist, Alexa felt her whole body burning. ¡°Terrence¡­¡± She shouted at him angrily. She resisted for a while and soon gave up struggling. ¡°Don¡¯t do that.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t.¡± Terrence agreed readily. Then he lowered his head and rubbed it against her neck. He missed her so much just because he hadn¡¯t touched her for one night. ¡°What kind of perfume are you wearing?¡± ¡°Stop it. Let go of me.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s have lunch together.¡± ¡°I¡¯m busy,¡± Alexa said directly. ¡°I have to work overtime.¡± ¡°Do you need me to tell them who my wife is?¡± ¡°It¡¯s unnecessary. Everyone knows that it¡¯s Brynlee. Aren¡¯t you afraid of hurting her heart?¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes suddenly turned cold, and he instantly released her.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . After Alexa steadied herself, he tidied up his clothes and stood aside coldly. ¡°Of course, I won¡¯t hurt her,¡± Terrence said coldly. ¡°So if she is unhappy, I¡¯ll kick you out of the Hudson Group at any time.¡± ¡°No problem,¡± Alexa shrugged her shoulders and spoke. ¡°Do you need me to write my resignation. now? Mr. Ramsey, you don¡¯t even need to drive me away in person.¡± Terrence squinted his eyes coldly. ¡°Get out!¡± ¡°Okay¡± Alexa obeyed him and ran away quickly. For her, Terrence was like a time bomb. Therefore, it was normal for him to be moody After work, Alexa went to the hospital immediately. Terrence tried his best to be patient and came to her, but she was gone. ¡°Mr Ramsey¡­¡± Edwin was not surprised at all. He asked, ¡°Do you need to contact Mrs. Ramsey?¡± ¡°Check her position. I¡¯ll go to find her myself.¡± Terrence rubbed between his eyebrows irritably. He couldn¡¯t understand why Alexa was busier than him all day long Terrence understood immediately when he heard that Edwin told him the location. Well, it was indeed the hospital. One or two times could be a coincidence, but how many times had he caught her there? Terrence would like to see how charming Kieran was that Alexa was willing to challenge his bottom line for him. Alexa had just arrived at the hospital but failed to meet Kieran. The nurse told her that Kieran had to leave now. When Alexa was about to contact him, she received a message from Kieran. It read, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Ms. Duran. I have something urgent to deal with at home. I have to go back now. Can you have the examination another day?¡± Alexa replied calmly and left the hospital. She suddenly wanted to eat something She took a taxi to a restaurant. She ordered a burger. It tasted so good. It was rare for Alexa to have such an appetite. She didn¡¯t even check her phone while eating. It was not until Terrence sat down in front of her with a gloomy face that Alexa realized that there were five missed calls. ¡°Sorry, I muted my phone by ident,¡± she said nicely. ¡°Excuse me, what can I do for you?¡± Why did she sound like that? Terrence nced coldly at the food she was eating and felt even angrier He looked for her all over the city He called her several times, but she didn¡¯t answer. And now she was eating a burger? ¡°Alexa, have you forgotten something?¡± Chapter 48 Chapter 48 Chapter 48 Rtionship ¡°Oh? I don¡¯t think so,¡± Alexa said in a daze. ¡°I have finished my work.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t I say that you would have lunch with me?¡± ¡°Oh, you mean that,¡± Alexa said innocently. ¡°I thought you were joking. Besides, I only like eating these things, Mr. Ramsey won¡¯t like them.¡± Terrence hated Alexa for talking to him with such an attitude, which was like an invisible knife that could mess up his emotions. ¡°Are you sure you want to eat this?¡± ¡°Yes, it¡¯s delicious. Do you want to have a try?¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Terrence called the waiter over and ordered the same set meal as hers. ¡°You want to have the same?¡± Alexa asked in surprise. Terrence didn¡¯t even look at her. He pulled out a few tissues and wiped the table over and over. ¡°It¡¯s none of your business,¡± he said crossly. It could be seen that he didn¡¯t like this ce. Seeing that she was eating as if nothing had happened, Terrence¡¯s dark eyes narrowed slightly. ¡°Didn¡¯t your Dr. Powelle with you?¡± ¡°My Dr. Powell?¡± Alexa frowned and asked. ¡°What are you thinking about?¡± ¡°I¡¯m just asking. Why are you so overreacting?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t overreact. Don¡¯t you think there is something between me and him?¡± ¡°Alexa.¡± Terrence¡¯s face darkened and his voice immediately turned cold, mixed with a sense of threat. At this time, the female boss brought what Terrence ordered. Noticing him and Alexa, she asked curiously. ¡°Miss, this is¡­¡± ¡°He is my boss.¡± Alexa blurted out without hesitation. Hearing what she said, Terrence couldn¡¯t help but pause.. Alexa exchanged a few simple greetings with thedy, and then they suddenly talked about Brenton ¡°The boy who used toe with you is called ¡­ Brenton, right?¡± The female boss said proudly. ¡°Now he has be a pop star Are you still in touch now? When can you get me an autograph?¡± Alexa pretended to be calm and prevaricated, and finally sent the woman away. However, Terrence¡¯s question came again. She thought he would overturn the table on the spot, but he just looked at her quietly, with a touch of disgust in his eyes. ¡°I have lost contact with Brenton.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Terrence didn¡¯t say anything else. Even if he ate burgers in such a small restaurant, he was still very elegant, and every move of him revealed his high status. Alexa narrowed her eyes and thought to herself. The proprietress was too blind. The man in front of her was the president of the Hudson Group, who was richer than tens of thousands of pop starsbined. However, no one would have thought that the CEO of the Hudson Group woulde to such a ce. ¡°Is it delicious?¡± Alexa asked. ¡°It¡¯s not yummy,¡± Terrence said straightforwardly. The atmosphere between them suddenly became a little embarrassing. Alexa curled her lips and ate up quickly. ¡°Do you want me to wait for you?¡± ¡°Sit down.¡± Terrence ordered coldly. ¡°Okay.¡± Sitting in front of him, Alexa felt a little embarrassed, so she plucked up the courage to find a topic, ¡°Where did you want to take me for dinner?¡± ¡°I have booked a ce with several foreign businessmen.¡± What¡­ What?! Alexa was dumbfounded, What kind of big shot could talk with Terrence about business? ¡°So, did I screw up the meeting?¡± Alexa said, ¡°What do you think?¡± Terrence said. ¡°So¡­ Is it a great loss? ¡°Don¡¯t you have any idea about the strength of the Hudson Group?¡± ¡°What¡­ What should we do?¡± Alexa panicked. ¡°Is it toote to go now?¡± ¡°Are you an idiot?¡± Terrence said with disgust. ¡°Don¡¯t forget to wait for me next time.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Alexa replied with guilt. But Terrence should also be responsible for this matter. He always gave Alexa some empty checks. Every time he made a promise to her, he would then immediately flirt with Brynlee, Terrence finally finished eating Alexa stood at the door, waiting for him toe out, Seeing her waiting for him expectantly, in a trance, Terrence really had an illusion for a moment. They seemed to be a real couple. Alexa hadn¡¯t had dinner like this for a long time, so she was happy and was even in the mood to talk totum. ¡°¡®This ce is really good. I used toe here a lot.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°In fact, other types of food here are very delicious. Let¡¯s have a try next time.¡± As soon as she finished her words, Alexa seemed to be strangled by something and stopped abruptly. She was a fool. It was just that she often came with Brenton in the past. After so many years, her memory had not completely disappeared. So when she faced Terrence, she said something like that subconsciously. However, there was no sign of anger on Terrence¡¯s face. He even had a slight smile on her face, ¡°Okay ¡± He replied shortly For a moment, Alexa was slightly absent minded. This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . The sun was shining brightly in the afternoon. Terrence¡¯s suit seemed to have lost its usual coldness and sternness He was like a holy knight. But soon, Alexa calmed herself down. Was it too long for her to be not loved by anyone? She was so moved by this promise and couldn¡¯te back to her senses for a long time. At this time, Terrence had opened the door of the passenger seat for her and waited for her. The car he drove today was a limited edition of Rolls-Royce. Even if it was parked on the road, it was extremely eye-catching. This ce was very close to thepany, and it was hard to guarantee that colleagues wouldn¡¯t see Alexa didn¡¯t intend to get in the car at all. ¡°Thank you.¡± She politely disassociated herself from him. ¡°I can take a taxi home.¡± ¡°¡®Taxi?¡± Terrence repeated it as if she had heard a big joke. ¡°Yes, I don¡¯t want to cause you any trouble.¡± Hearing her words, Terrence pursed his thin lips and nodded, as if he was deeply convinced. ¡°You are right.¡± He closed the door and walked to her. ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Terrence said in a normal tone. ¡°I¡¯ll take a taxi with you.¡± The way he thought was really different from ordinary people. Alexa took two steps aside to keep a distance from him. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that others will guess our rtionship?¡± ¡°Why should I be afraid?¡± Terrence asked. ¡°Am I not good enough for you?¡± They couldn¡¯tmunicate with each other. Alexa gave up decisively. When she was about topromise, a Mercedes stopped in front of them in a high profile way. As the window was rolled down, Brynlee took off her sunsses in the car. ¡°Terrence!¡± she said. Chapter 49 Chapter 49 Chapter 49 Afraid That He Knows Terrence looked up and saw Brynilee. The light in his eyes dimmed inexplicably. ¡°Why are you here?¡± he asked with a smile. ¡°Edwin told me that you might be here, so I came back to see you.¡± Brynlee had a special identity and could be photographed by paparazzi if they were not careful enough In order to avoid any trouble, she got out of the car in a hurry and urged Terrence to leave with her. ¡°Terrence, I¡¯m so hungry,¡± Brynlee held his arm pitifully and said. ¡°Let¡¯s have dinner together, okay?¡± Terrence didn¡¯t reply. He looked at Alexa subconsciously. But now she had gone far and had no intention of waiting for him toe with her. ¡°Alexa,¡± Terrence called her. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Alexa turned around impatiently, without looking at the two of them. ¡°You go back first. I have something to deal with, and I¡¯?n leaving now.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa replied indifferently in a low voice and turned away without hesitation. So, what was Terrence doing? Tell her the schedule. Well, why was it necessary? She had been used to the feeling of being abandoned. Terrence was like this, and even her brother was like this. Noticing Terrence¡¯s attitude towards Alexa, Brynlee became vignt at once, and she held Terrence¡¯s arm more tightly. Terrence¡­¡± Brynlee said in an aggrieved tone. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Terrenceughed and gently stroked her head. ¡°You were fine just now, weren¡¯t you? ¡°I¡¯m afraid. I¡¯m afraid that you will leave me one day¡± ¡°How is it possible? I don¡¯t want you. Who else do I want?¡± ¡°Recently, I have been wondering if I have really bothered you. I don¡¯t want you to be upset because of me.¡± ¡°Brynlee, I have promised you, so I won¡¯t break my promise.¡± ¡°Now that you don¡¯t love Alexa, please prove it to me as soon as possible. When will you divorce. her?¡± Brynlee threatened him. As soon as he heard ¡°divorce¡±, the tenderness in Terrence¡¯s eyes instantly disappeared, and a chill gushed out. ¡°I have my own n. Don¡¯t get involved.¡± ¡°I see,¡± seeing that he was pissed off, Brynlee immediately gave in and said. ¡°Don¡¯t look at me like that, okay?¡± Realizing that he was out of control, Terrence looked away. ¡°Terrence, let¡¯s have dinner first.¡± ¡°No, thanks,¡± Terrence pushed her away with no interest and said coldly. ¡°I have something to deal with in thepany. I¡¯ll go back first.¡± ¡°Terrence, Terrence¡­¡± Brynlee panicked and grabbed his hand. ¡°I know I was wrong. Don¡¯t be angry. I won¡¯t do that again.¡± Her action immediately reminded Terrence of what Gavyn had done, and his face couldn¡¯t help but be a little cold. ¡°Divorce is between Alexa and me. I don¡¯t want anyone else to get involved in it.¡± ¡°Yes, I understand,¡± Brynlee said cautiously. Then Terrence left without looking back. Brynlee stood there awkwardly as if she had been pped in the street. It seemed that she was too careless. Few men were reliable! Brynlee gritted her teeth in anger, put on her sunsses, and left in a hurry. Alexa, Alexa, do you have to do this to me?! Alexa was in a taxi and received a call from Kieran. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Ms. Duran. I¡¯ve heard from the nurse that you¡¯vee here for nothing. I¡¯m really sorry.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter,¡± Alexa said. ¡°Dr. Powell, have you solved your family¡¯s problem? ¡°s¡­¡± Kieran sighed slightly. ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal. I¡¯m sorry¡± The two of them chatted casually and made an appointment for the examination. Alexa leaned against the seat and looked out of the window. The scenery outside was in the warm sunshine She suddenly felt that life was so wonderful. She hadn¡¯t recovered yet, but she had a lot of things to do. After recovery, she might be able to realize all her goals. If she could find her brother, she wouldn¡¯t be homeless. When she arrived at thepany, she saw Terrence¡¯s car driving into the garage. Stunned, Alexa quickened her pace. She didn¡¯t want to meet Terrence. But what a coincidence! When she walked to the elevator, she saw Terrence. He was tall and straight, with one hand put in his pocket, looking very unrestrained. ¡°What a coincidence!¡± he greeted her with a faint smile. ¡°I don¡¯t think so!¡± Alexa said coldly and turned to the stairs. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Terrence immediately pulled her back. ¡°The elevator hasn¡¯t arrived yet. I¡¯ll take the stairs.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, the doors of the VIP elevator opened. Terrence grabbed her wrist and turned around. ¡°Come here.¡± Feeling that the person behind him didn¡¯t move, Terrence frowned and said. ¡°Hurry up.¡± ¡°No.¡± Alexa replied in a soft voice. ¡°Do you want to be seen by others?¡± Terrence looked at the hand holding Alexa¡¯s. Alexa¡¯s face turned red. She bit her lips awkwardly. Finally, she couldn¡¯t resist Terrence, so she had to follow him obediently Even in the elevator, Alexa tried her best to keep a distance between them. As soon as Terrence pressed the button, she hid in a corner. Feeling her fear of him, Terrence calmly took a step forward and distanced himself from her Alexa lowered her head and stared at the back of her feet. Shouldn¡¯t he be with Brynlee?she thought. ¡°The weather is good today.¡± Terrence¡¯s sudden voice startled Alexa. ¡°Oh¡­ Yes.¡± This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . ¡°We can go out for a walk.¡± ¡°Oh¡­Yes.¡± ¡°Alexa, can¡¯t you speak?¡± Terrence turned around and looked at her with a gloomy face. ¡°What?¡± Alexa asked in confusion. She looked at him innocently like a frightened deer. ¡°What should I say?¡± she asked. Terrence lost the desire toinunicate in an instant and immediately returned to his cold expression. The atmosphere suddenly became quiet. Alexa yed with her fingers, suffering every second beside him. The elevator was running slowly. Alexa¡¯s phone in her bag vibrated a few times, and someone called her Terrence didn¡¯t respond, but his attention had already been focused on Alexa. She whispered to someone behind him as if she was afraid that he would know something. Alexa replied briefly and ended the call soon. She put her phone away and found that Terrence had walked out of the elevator. But Alexa still heard him ask. ¡°Who¡¯s that?¡± ¡°No one,¡± Alexa replied casually, but when she met his cold eyes, she changed her tone. ¡°It¡¯s a delivery.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°Who do you think it is?¡± Alexa teased him with a smile. Alexa was just joking, but this made Terrence think a lot. Chapter 50 Chapter 50 Chapter 50 What Alexa Wants ¡°What do you think?¡± Terrence sneered. ¡°Is there someone you¡¯re expecting?¡± What the hell? Alexa had no idea why Terrence was angry again. Terrence went straight to the president¡¯s office without looking back and did not say anything more to Alexa. Alexa looked out of the window helplessly. She did not expect that the sunny sky would suddenly be covered with dark clouds. There was even a p of thunder. It was going to rain. Alexa¡¯s good mood was ruined. Now she felt kind of depressed. Unexpectedly, Nathan no longer picked on her this afternoon. Alexapleted the work efficiently and was finally able to get off work on time. However, just as Alexa happily picked up her bag and was about to leave, she saw Terrence standing at the door. Alexa pretended not to see him and kept walking without looking around. Terrence¡¯s face darkened. He was very unhappy with her attitude. ¡°Where are you going?¡± Alexa pretended she had just seen him and said, ¡°Is there anything else you need, Mr. Ramsey?¡± ¡°Go to a party with me.¡± ¡°A party¡­¡± Alexa grimaced instantly. ¡°Can¡¯t Brynlee go with you?¡± After he heard this, Terrence¡¯s eyes suddenly turned cold, which made Alexa shudder in fear. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Cut the crap.¡± Terrence said fiercely, ¡°Come.¡± There was nothing worse than this in the world. Alexa reluctantly followed Terrence and let him stuff her into the car and make a bunch of stylists doll her up. ¡°We are going to a charity party tonight. You can follow me or find a ce to rest.¡± ¡°Is this party very important?¡± Terrence stole a look at the gorgeously dressed-up Alexa and couldn¡¯t help but nod. ¡°Yes, very important.¡± Originally, Terrene was not going. But he heard from the stylist that this dress was very Alexa, so for the first time, Terrence let Alexa go to a party with him. Alexa was not a people person. Hearing that she could hide somewhere and rest, she instantly felt no pressure. After entering the party, Terrence soon got busy socializing. Alexa met a few big shots with Terrence and soon got drunk. ¡°I think I am a little drunk, ¡± Alexa whispered to Terrence. ¡°I¡¯m going out for a while.¡± Terrence nodded gentlemanly, his voice deep and charming ¡°Go, I¡¯lle to youter.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± With Terrence¡¯s permission, Alexa quickly walked through the crowded hall and went all the way to the quiet garden in the back. There was a slender figure standing next to the fountain, and with the help of the silver light, Alexa recognized him at once. ¡°Mr. Powell.¡± Hearing the voice behind him, Kieran turned around. ¡°Ms. Duran.¡± ¡°What a coincidence.¡± Alexa asked with a smile, ¡°Why are you here alone?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t like noisy ces,¡± Kieran exined unhurriedly. ¡°What¡¯s more, I¡¯m here for the auction. ra is interested in a few items.¡± ¡°So there is an auction?¡± ¡°Yes, it is on the second floor,¡± Kieran said. ¡°The final item is an emerald ne.¡± An emerald ne. Alexa chewed on these two words and suddenly remembered the ne that her mother lost when the Duran¡¯s house was seized. Since it showed up at the auction, it definitely wasn¡¯t ordinary. Alexa hurriedly pulled up the picture of the ne on her phone and showed it to Kieran. ¡°Dr. Powell, please take a look. Is it this one?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± ¡°As expected¡­¡± Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org. Alexa muttered to herself and hurriedly called Terrence. All the while, Terrence, who was standing not far away, looked coldly at the caller ID and rejected the call. Alexa kept calling, but Terrence ignored all the calls. Alexa didn¡¯t give up until she got a message from Brynlee¡­ ¡°Terrence¡¯s date is me tonight. Don¡¯t show up in front of everyone again.¡± What? How did it be like this¡­. Alexa waspletely flustered. Compared to her pride, she cared more about her mother¡¯s ne. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Kieran asked with concern. ¡°You don¡¯t look well.¡± ¡°He rejected my call, and¡­¡± Alexa said with difficulty, ¡°His date is not me anymore.¡± Alexa didn¡¯t want to talk about her private matters in front of Kieran, but she was too frustrated to care about these things. ¡°That ne is very valuable.¡± ¡°Is it very important to you?¡± ¡°Yes¡­¡± Alexa said in a low voice. ¡°It is my mother¡¯s stuff.¡± Hearing this, Kieran was surprised. ¡°I thought he would take you there,¡± Kieran said gently. ¡°But don¡¯t worry. If you want to, I will take you there.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Alexa looked at Kieran gratefully, her eyes sparkling with tears. ¡°Thank you.¡± The auction hall was not very big. After all, only the best-known and richest people coulde here Therefore, Alexa saw Terrence and Brynlee sitting in the first row as soon as she entered. Kieran was very considerate and took Alexa to seats a bit far from them. However, Brynlee saw them at once. After all, a person like Terrence was too visible. ¡°Terrence.¡± Brynlee¡¯s red lips parted slightly as she leaned over to Terrence. ¡°Alexa and Mr. Powell are here too.¡± When Terrence heard Alexa¡¯s name, coldness shed across his eyes. ¡°What does it have to do with us?¡± Terrence replied in a cold tone. ¡°There is probably something she wants,¡± Brynlee said, fanning the mes. ¡°If Mr. Powell can¡¯t get it for her, I will.¡± Terrence clearly heard every word that Brynlee said, and his gloomy face gradually became even colder. There was something Alexa wanted? Great. After the auction began, Brynlee instantly stole the show. Terrence bought her everything that she wanted for unbeatable prices. Alexa, sitting there, became more and more nervous. Finally, it was thest item. When the host solemnly took the red cloth off the ss cover, Alexa immediately saw the resplendent and luxurious emerald ne. In the light, it was reflecting a quiet green light. It was that ne! Alexa clutched at her handbag and even held her breath. Thest item, the most precious emerald ne in history. The starting price is 1.6 million dors.¡± 16 million dors¡­ Alexa¡¯s heart instantly sank. She couldn¡¯t even get a tenth of that now. ¡°3.2 million dors.¡± The inan next to her suddenly spoke. his voice gentle and firm. Alexa turned to look at Kieran with a surprised expression. ¡°6.4 million dors.¡± A cold and low voice cut in, and Alexa¡¯s heart jumped to her throat. It was Terrence¡­ ¡°11.2 million dors.¡± Kieran calmly raised the price. Chapter 51 Chapter 51 Chapter 51 Throwing Her Ne Away Although this ne was important, it was worth far less than 11.2 million dors. Alexa clenched her hands. She wasn¡¯t expecting this at all. As soon as Kieran bid, Terrence bid again without hesitation. ¡°20 million dors.¡± ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Brynlee turned around in shock. Jealousy washed over her. In the beginning, Brynlee only wanted to take things that Alexa cherished away from her, but Brynlee didn¡¯t expect this piece of trash to reach such a high price. That was fucking 20 million dors! Terrence actually said it out without blinking! ¡°Mr. Powell, forget it,¡± Alexa said nervously. ¡°This ne is not worth this much.¡± Kieran smiled and said gently, ¡°Money is only paper, but things that are worth protecting are priceless.¡± Alexa was stunned, and Kieran bid a higher price. ¡°25 million dors.¡± The coldness on Terrence¡¯s face grew thicker, and he wished he could drag that hateful woman over and teach her to be grateful. She indeed got something. She actually was able to persuade the young master of the Powell family to help her. But what of it? The more Alexa cherished something, the more he wanted to take it away and then destroy it to her face! Terrence gritted his teeth, and the hostility around him gradually increased. ¡°38 million dors.¡± The price got increasingly ridiculous, and the hall became quieter and quieter. From beginning to end, no one dared to join the battle. In the public¡¯s eyes, the Ramsey family and the Powell family were old friends. And they had been helping and supporting each other to get where they were now. However, what Terrence and Kieran were doing right now was not what friends would do. Although they sounded calm, everyone could feel the tension in the air. Terrence would not give up, and Kieran also would not take a step back. Brynlee was frightened by Terrence¡¯s look and put her hand on his arm, feeling both jealous and scared. ¡°Terrence, forget it,¡± Brynlee said weakly. ¡°Actually, I don¡¯t really want this ne.¡± ¡°Why not?¡± Terrence said with a cold smile. ¡°56 million dors.¡± Kieran behind him continued to bid. Terrence felt he was losing control of his emotions and even his cruelty. Alexa, you are so arrogant and ungrateful He gave Alexa all the valuable things, but Alexa did not even look at them. And she turned to T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. someone else. ¡°165 million dors.¡± It instantly caused an uproar. No one expected this to happen. Was this about a woman? People spontaneously turned to look at Alexa, who was beside Kieran, with either surprise or disdain in their eyes. This woman was only moderately pretty. Was she Kieran¡¯s new girlfriend? ¡°165 million dors first!¡± ¡°165 million dors second!¡± Kieran turned to look at Alexa, whose expression was surprisingly calm. And Alexa nodded at him very gratefully ¡°Mr. Powell, thank you.¡± ¡°165 million dors third!¡± the host said emotionally. ¡°Mr. Terrence has got this unique emerald ne for a price of 165 million dors!¡± The audience broke into loud apuse Although Brynlee was very unhappy, she nodded at people very proudly Terrence actually spent 165 million dors to get this ne for her. Alexa, you¡¯re no match for me. Brynlee¡¯s heart was filled withcency. But Terrence looked emotionless, and the coldness on his face didn¡¯t clear at all. ¡°Terrence, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Brynlee forced a smile. ¡°Are you unhappy?¡± ¡°I have something to do. I have to go now.¡± After saying this, Terrence got up without hesitation and went after Alexa. Outside the door, Alexa slowly stopped. ¡°Mr. Powell, thank you for what you said just now.¡± Alexa smiled in relief. ¡°If my mother heard it, she would be very happy.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry,¡± Kieran said apologetically. ¡°I hope what I did just now didn¡¯t bother you.¡± ¡°It didn¡¯t.¡± Alexa immediately shook her head. ¡°Anyway, thank you very much.¡± ¡°Do you need me to send you back?¡± As soon as Kieran finished, Alexa saw Terrence slowly appear at the door. Was Terrence here to settle ounts with her? Alexa didn¡¯t want to get Kieran into trouble. ¡°Mr. Powell, don¡¯t mind me. I will wait for the driver to pick me up.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Kieran nodded. ¡°See you then.¡± After Kieran¡¯s car left, Alexa turned back, and Terrence happened to have walked up to her. With a long face, Terrence stood near her and said sarcastically. ¡°Kieran can¡¯t buy you that ne and can¡¯t even send you home?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t take it wrong.¡± ¡°Alexa, is that all you can say?¡± Terrence tilted his head and looked at her expression with cold eyes. ¡°Do you think you can get away with everything with that sentence?¡± ¡°165 million dors. Mr Ramsey is so generous.¡± ¡°So what? It is not for you.¡± ¡°Terrence, do you know that is my mother¡¯s ne?¡± Alexa said weakly and clenched her hands nervously. ¡°Do you want me to give it to you?¡± Terrence chuckled. ¡°Alexa, are you crazy? I¡¯ve paid a lot for it.¡± ¡°Yes, I know,¡± Alexa said softly. ¡°So did you give it to Brynlee?¡± ¡°That¡¯s mine. It¡¯s none of your business how I will deal with it.¡± ¡°Please give the ne back to me. And I¡¯ll pay for it no matter how much it costs.¡± Before Alexa could finish, Terrence could not help but sneer and interrupt her. ¡°Alexa, do you think you are worth 165 million dors? How are you going to get the money? Who the hell do you think you are?¡± Alexa bit her lower lip and stood there with a pale face as if she would fall any minute. Terrence¡¯s pupils shrank as he looked at her red-rimmed eyes as if he was looking at a delicate and fragile piece of art. ¡°I¡¯ve thrown it away.¡± ¡°Thrown it away?¡± Alexa murmured these words and looked up at him in disbelief. Tears came out of her dry eyes. Alexa kept wiping them off, but in the end, she broke down. Terrence had just thrown away the only thing her mother had left behind. Terrence looked coldly at her actions and was not moved at all. ¡°Go home,¡± Terrence ordered indifferently before he raised his head and walked away. After walking some distance, Terrence turned around impatiently. As expected, Alexa was still standing there and getting farther and farther away from him. ¡°Alexa, are you deaf?¡± Alexa wiped her face gracelessly and then walked in another direction. ¡°Where are you going?¡± ¡°None of your business,¡± Alexa growled in a low voice. Terrence¡¯s body tensed up, and he walked toward Alexa in anger. Alexa subconsciously ducked aside. But Terrence did not say anything more to her. He simply bent over and lifted her into his arms. Chapter 52 Chapter 52 Chapter 52 Anything for Her ¡°Hey¡­¡± Alexa eximed in surprise and red at Terrence awkwardly. ¡°Put me down.¡± ¡°Are you sure you want to finish your tantrum?¡± Terrence was threatening her. Although Alexa extremely disliked him, she only bit her lip timidly After all, Terrence was the crazy guy who used 165 million dors to buy a ne. It was very likely that he would do something even crazier! ¡°Terrence, I will never forgive you.¡± As Alexa spoke, tears came out again. ¡°Never¡­¡± ¡°Why should I care what you think?¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes darkened as he stared unnaturally ahead. This stupid woman had no idea how charming her unconscious behaviors were. After what happened just now, Alexa¡¯s makeup was smeared, but it made her look even more attractive. Terrence realized that his feelings for Alexa made him unable to think straight. What had she done to him? The driver opened the car door, and Terrence shoved Alexa into the seat. However, Terrence did not get into the car right away. Instead, he stood by the car and let the cold wind cool him down. He couldn¡¯t think straight at all. Her tender lips, tearful eyes, and her warm breath that brushed against his neck¡­ Alexa wiped her tears and looked out the window. And she happened to meet Terrence¡¯s cold and fierce gaze. ¡°Don¡¯t move.¡± Terrence scolded her out of the blue. After getting into the car, he kept away from Alexa. There was al?nost a gxy between them. Alexa was tired from crying. She leaned back in her seat and looked at the dazzling nightscape outside the window nkly, ¡°Terrence, let me go, please¡± Terrence had been resting with his eyes closed. When he heard Alexa¡¯s nonsense, his eyes flew open Alexa let out a small sigh. And suddenly, Terrence leaned over to her. ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°Let you go?¡± Terrence asked in a cold voice. ¡°Where are you going?¡± Alexa did not dare to reply. And Terrence gently stroked Alexa¡¯s lips with his rough fingers. As Terrence wished, his fingers traced the shape of Alexa¡¯s lips. Then Terrence slowly moved down to grab Alexa¡¯s chin and slowly tightened the grip. Alexa was in pain. She frowned ufortably and shivered uncontrobly. But to Alexa¡¯s surprise, when she raised her eyes, she met Terrence¡¯s eyes with affection and destion in them. Terrence¡­ Alexa was stunned. It was the first time that Alexa had seen this look on Terrence¡¯s face. But in the next second, the warmth in Terrence¡¯s eyes disappeared and was reced by a cold glint. ¡°Have you ever kissed?¡± Terrence asked carelessly. In Terrence¡¯s eyes, Alexa was like a stupid rabbit who would walk into his trap without him doing anything ¡°No¡­¡± Without waiting for her to ask questions, Terrence grabbed the back of her head and seized her sexy and tender lips with his. Alexa was dumbfounded. One hand was pressed down on the seat by Terrence while the other clutched at his tie in a panic. This sudden kiss was as transient as a shooting star. After Terrence released her, the cold light fragrance still lingered in her nose, and Alexa couldn¡¯t stop her reverie. Terrence sat up and looked down at Alexa¡¯s hand. ¡°When will you let go?¡± he asked coldly and mercilessly. Alexa immediately came back to her senses and let go of the tie as if it was a hot potato. ¡°Sorry. Sorry,¡± she panicked and said. Terrence nced at her expressionlessly and straightened his clothes. Then, he crossed his legs in N?velDrama.Org owns all content. his seat After Alexa calmed down, she finally realized that she had apologized to Terrence just now. What the fuck? It was Terrence who should apologize! Thinking of this, Alexa wiped her mouth hard and in disgust. Terrence saw her actions, and his cold expression did not change much. Both of them chose to forget about this matter. And they didn¡¯t talk again for the rest of the time in the car. When they got home, the dinner was ready. Terrence sat down at the dining table first and then nced at Alexa. Mina took the hint and helped Alexa get food onto her te. But Alexa only nced at them from afar before she went straight upstairs without looking back once. Alexa was angry right now. Plus, apart from this, Terrence had done so many awful things to her, so she had millions of reasons not to talk to him. ¡°Mr. Ramsey¡­¡± ¡°Leave it there. She will eat when she¡¯s hungry.¡± Terrence simply ignored her. He finished all the food on the table and only left a te of lettuce for Alexa. Alexa ate the medicine on an empty stomach, and she felt so unhappy that she hoped she could sleep for three days and three nights. Her phone received a few messages. In addition to a few spam messages, there was a message from Kieran. It was sent fifteen minutes ago. Kieran asked if she was home. Alexa immediately replied to his message. And just then, she got a message from Terrence. Alexa frowned slightly at themand Terrence sent. Terrence: ¡°Open the door.¡± Alexa: ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Terrence: ¡°If you don¡¯t open the door, I will break in.¡± Alexa was so annoyed by his harassment and opened the door reluctantly. Terrence noticed her extremely childish clothes instantly. A pair of nnel pajamas and a pair of pink and fluffy slippers. He withdrew his gaze imperceptibly and threw a box at her casually. ¡°What is it? Alexa looked at it. It was a nicely wrapped box. ¡°Someone found it in the trash can and returned it to us,¡± Terrence casually exined. Hearing this, Alexa instantly knew what was inside the box. She opened the box excitedly. It was the emerald ne as expected. When Terrence saw her eyes light up, his expression finally softened a bit. ¡°Isn¡¯t this yours? You don¡¯t want it anymore?¡± Alexa asked warily. ¡°Cut the crap.¡± Terrence frowned. ¡°If you don¡¯t want it, I¡¯ll throw it away.¡± ¡°No, no, no.¡± Alexa immediately held the ne in her arms protectively. ¡°I want it. In addition, i will try to pay you for it.¡± Terrence sneered and went to the study room. ¡°Stop talking big.¡± Terrence said slowly. ¡°You¡¯ll not leave the Ramsey family until you pay off the money.¡± After she closed the door, Alexa took a long time to calm her breathing Alexa carefully wrapped up the ne and put it into the jewelry box she brought here. All the suffering that had not crushed her would be the fuel that kept her going. As long as she was breathing, she would keep doing her best to save the Duran family! Dad, Mom, Keyon¡­ Just wait for me a little longer. Meanwhile, Terrence pot acall from Rebekah right after he entered the study. ra about it. They say you spent millions of dors to make a woman smile.¡± teased Rebekah. Terrence paused and replied without thinking ¡°Anything for her.¡± Chapter 53 Chapter 53 Chapter 53 You Are Very Unhappy ¡°You¡¯ve finally grown up, kid!¡± Rebekal smiled happily on the other side of the line. Terrence, on the other hand, was very rational and decided to bring up a thing at this time. ¡°Did you hide something from me about the Duran Group¡¯s bankruptcy?¡± ¡°It¡¯s been so long. Why do you suddenly want to know?¡± Rebekah replied in a normal tone, but the smile on her face suddenly became heavy. ¡°When the Duran Group went bankrupt, it told the public that it was because of the broken capital chain. But the Duran family should be able to survive it instead of being destroyed so badly.¡± Terrence narrowed his eyes slightly, which had already seen through everything. Terrence was still abroad at that time and had never paid attention to the Duran Group. But Terrence didn¡¯t expect that they would shove Alexa to him right after he came back. ¡°The business world is veryplicated,¡± Rebekah answered vaguely. ¡°So Terrence, that¡¯s why your father and I want you to be careful.¡± ¡°Got it.¡± Terrence asked no more questions. However, this made him even more curious. What had the Duran family gone through? The Duran family was taken down in a single night. And when the sun rose again, there was nothing left. Terrence pondered when a cautious knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. ¡°Enter.¡± Hearing the indifferent voice, Alexa nervously pursed her lips and gently pushed the door open. Because the side effects of the medicine made her feel a little hot, Alexa had changed into a thinner lace nightdress, with her body peering through it. Alexa was carrying a te of fruit and suddenly met Terrence¡¯s eyes. And she froze at the door. Terrence looked like he was going to eat her. ¡°Did I disturb you?¡± Alexa asked nervously. Terrence¡¯s body tensed up. He felt very aroused, so he had to take his eyes off Alexa. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Terrence said surfly. ¡°Mom called me just now,¡± Alexa exined. ¡°She has heard about the ne.¡± Alexa put the fruit on his desk. Then she stood in front of Terrence a bit awkwardly. twisting her fingers together. Was she nervous? Terrence leaned back in his chair and crossed his legs and armszily, like a king. It was very hard for Terrence not to overthink when Alexa was suddenly nice to him and wearing such a sexy dress. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. ¡°What did you talk about?¡± Terrence said slowly. ¡°Just the ne.¡± ¡°Nothing else?¡± ¡°No.¡± Alexa shook her head and was even more hesitant. The words of thanks were already at the tip of her tongue, but Alexa just couldn¡¯t get them out in front of Terrence. Hearing her reply, Terrence smiled., They didn¡¯t talk about anything else¡­ Wasn¡¯t that even more suspicious? However, it was not Alexa¡¯s intention to put on this show in front of Terrence. ¡°You have something else to tell me, don¡¯t you?¡± Terrence said helplessly andzily. ¡°She didn¡¯t ask you to do anything else?¡± ¡°No, she didn¡¯t.¡± Alexa shook her head and finally made up her mind, ¡°In fact, I came to¡­¡± Alexa¡¯s feet suddenly left the ground, and the distance between her and Terrence was closed. Alexa looked up at Terrence in horror. ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°So you are here because you want to be nice to me, right?¡± What the fuck? Alexa simply could not understand what made Terrence think so! ¡°There is no such thing!¡± ¡°No?¡± Terrence smiled. ¡°In the middle of the night, you suddenlye to me, wearing that. Mrs. Ramsey, every action of yours is screaming¡¯an ulterior motive¡¯.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not like that!¡± Alexa sputtered. ¡°I just want to thank you¡­¡± ¡°Since you want to thank me, shouldn¡¯t you do it the way I want you to?¡± Terrence interrupted. ¡°Let me see your sincerity.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°For example¡­¡± Terrence pondered for a moment and carried Alexa to her room. Alexa didn¡¯t know what was going on, and Terrence kicked open the door. ¡°Don¡¯t shut me out.¡± ¡°What?¡± As soon as Alexa finished speaking, she was thrown onto the bed and couldn¡¯t think straight for a long time. Terrence put one hand next to Alexa¡¯s ear to keep himself up and wrapped the other around Alexa¡¯s hands tightly. Feeling Terrence put his knee between her legs, Alexa was on high alert. ¡°Terrence, don¡¯t you go overboard!¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you want to thank me?¡± Terrence asked calmly. ¡°With this attitude?¡± ¡°Let me go first.¡± Alexa struggled. ¡°Why are you suddenly like this? What are you doing?¡± Terrence snorted coldly, then turned over and sat on the edge of the bed. He casually took the quilt and threw it on Alexa. Alexa grasped the quilt like a drowning person grasping the driftwood and instantly wrapped it around hersell tightly. ¡°Either you move to my bedroom, or I move in here,¡± Terrence said, tilting his head. ¡°Choose.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Alexa frowned. ¡°I don¡¯t want to share the room with you.¡± ¡°I call the shots here. If you don¡¯t want to share rooms with me, you can go sleep on the streets.¡± ¡°I will,¡± Alexa said angrily. ¡°Then people will talk,¡± Terrence babbled. ¡°They will think we are separated and will soon get a divorce. Do you want the others to gossip about you?¡± ¨C ¡°I don¡¯t care about those things. Besides, I don¡¯t want to cause you any trouble.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Terrence said crisply. ¡°Move to my room. Then I don¡¯t have to take the trouble to move in liere.¡± Why couldn¡¯t he think like a normal person? Alexa was extremely speechless, but she did not dare to piss off Terrence. ¡°If we sleep in the same room, aren¡¯t you afraid¡­¡± ¡°Afraid of what?¡± Terrence interrupted her unhappily, his eyes cold. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry so much. I know what I¡¯m doing.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Alexa had no choice but topromise. Then she helplessly watched Terrence get into her bed with his quilt. Alexa¡¯s room was decorated by herself. It was the same as her room at home. It was a very girly room. Terrence kind of looked like a beast in this room. Alexa touched the tip of her nose and only dared to keep this thought to herself. ¡°You are very unhappy, aren¡¯t you?¡± Terrencey down beside her and threw a teddy bear to the end of the bed. Alexa dared not voice her anger. She turned her back to Terrence and said dryly. ¡°No.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Terrence wouldn¡¯ty her off. ¡°I think you are.¡± ¡°No.¡± Alexa pritted her teeth and wanted to yell in Terrence¡¯s ear, ¡°I hate you. Stop pestering me!¡± Chapter 54 Chapter 54 Chapter 54 Hate Is Deeper Than Love However, Terrence¡¯s action made Alexa feel that he never cared whether others hated him or not. ¡°Tomorrow is your birthday, right?¡± A shudder coursed through Alexa as she heard Terre ¡°Why are you asking?¡± Alexa replied in disgust. Ever since the incident, she hated her birthday. Alexa¡¯s parents passed away on her birthday. Pain squeezed her heart, and she felt it was hard to breathe. Did he inention her birthday because she had just refused to move in with him? ¡°How old are you? 22?23?¡± ¡°23,¡±Alexa answered coldly. Maybe she will die at 23. Alexa sighed silently. Sometimes it was hard to ept. For many people, twenty-three was just the beginning of their wonderful life. Alexa¡¯s mood shifted in seconds. She coughed a few times and forced herself to stop thinking about Terrence reached out, patted her back, and tucked her in. Alexa grasped her cor and dodged from his touch without a trace. Terrence did not notice her unusual reaction. He seemed he had something in his mind. ¡°Every birthday is important,¡± Terrence murmured. Alexa was not in the mood to listen to him anymore. The drug she took started to ease her pain, and she drifted off to sleep. ¡°What do you want for your birthday this year?¡± Terrence asked, However, Alexa didn¡¯t answer. He sat up and saw Alexa had already fallen asleep. Why didn¡¯t she care about her birthday? Alexa woke up andpletely forgot what Terrence had saidst night the next morning. She went downstairs for breakfast after freshening up. Unlike the toast and milk Alexa usually had, there was a bowl of hot soup in front of her. ¡°Happy birthday, Mrs. Ramsey,¡± Mina said warmly ¡°Thank you, Mina,¡± Alexa smiled and asked, ¡°Where is Terrence?¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey went out early in the morning.¡± ¡°I see.¡± Alexa nodded and did not ask other questions, Alexa had some soup and left the house in a hurry. She asked Tiana for a leave today and did not go to the office. Alexa found all the documents she needed and took a taxi to the old site of the Duran Group¡¯s factory. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Today was her birthday and also the day when the factory reopened. Even after three years, she still remembered the path to the factory clearly. The Duran Group¡¯s factory was located in the suburbs of New York. The road was not too remote, but it was drizzling today, and the path was muddy. Alexa walked along the path and saw an operating factory. How was this possible? She thought the workers had already left. Alexa had a bad feeling about it. She walked to the front gate and found a security guard on the way. ¡°Excuse me, sir. Isn¡¯t this ce reopening today? How did they start working this soon?¡± ¡°Reopen? What are you talking about? This ce has always been open. My boss even sent an inspection team to check it out yesterday.¡± ¡°Your boss? Who¡¯s your boss?¡± ¡°Brenton Darrell from the Darrell family.¡± Alexa was stunned. She looked at the factory gate with red eyes. ¡°How is this possible?¡± ¡°He seems to have taken over from the previous Owner. Even the production line has not changed.¡± The security guard¡¯s words echoed in her ears. Alexa¡¯s mind went nk. She felt like she had just been struck by lightning without warning, Her heart was shaking to the point of bursting, How could it be possible? Alexa suddenly got the courage to ask Brenton herself. She took out her plione and found Brenton¡¯s number. She didn¡¯t know how to put it if it was really Brenton. Thoughts were churning in her head, but she didn¡¯t flinch. She dialed his number. Brenton picked up after a few seconds. ¡°Hey,¡± Alexa tried to speak in a calm voice, but her hands were trembling. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Alexa?¡± Brenton¡¯s voice was unusually calm as if he was still her boyfriend. Alexa could picture Brenton¡¯s handsome and bright face even through the phone. ¡°Brenton?¡± ¡°Yeah?¡± ¡°I have something to ask you.¡± ¡°Although I don¡¯t know what you are going to say, I will definitely help you if I can.¡± Brenton¡¯s voice was very gentle and made Alexa wonder if this was her imagination. Brenton was such a proud man, and she dumped him. She couldn¡¯t even find a trace of anger or a sneer in his tone. Brenton was still a decent guy! Alexa felt so guilty that she wanted to cry. She forced herself to hold back the tears that were about to fall. ¡°You bought my family¡¯s factory?¡± Brenton didn¡¯t respond for a while from the other side of the line as he heard Alexa¡¯s words. ¡°Brenton?¡± Alexa called out his name with mixed feelings. ¡°Do you hate me, Alexa?¡± Brenton asked in a low voice. ¡°What? ¡°I took away the thing you love. Do you hate me for that?¡± We need to talk this through, Brenton.¡± ¡°I hope you hate me,¡± Brenton chuckled and replied, ¡°I want you to hate me. Hate is deeper than love, and it¡¯s better than forgetting me. I want you to remember me.¡± ¡°You know it¡¯s over between us,¡± Alexa said weakly. ¡°Yeah, I remember. I have to call you Mrs. Ramsey now.¡±. ¡°I¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m not that generous, Alexa. I don¡¯t want you to live happily ever after by his side. You can ask Terrence toe and talk to me. I want to see if he is qualified to be your husband.¡± ¡°Brenton. Brenton?¡± Alexa tried to say something, but Brenton had already hung up. The rain seemed to be heavier, smashing against the umbre and making a crackling sound. Alexa did not know someone behind her was walking away from her. Terrence held up a ck umbre, and a chill swirled around him. His expression was thunderous. His face was cold as the winter wind under the umbre. Terrence could not hear how noisy the world in the rain was. All he thought about at the moment was Alexa¡¯s voice as she called Brenton¡¯s name. That humble and low voice. Why was Brenton still in the picture? Terrence gritted his teeth, eyes filling with cold and harshness. How could she swallow her pride and beg her ex-boyfriend for a factory? Terrence could not understand or tolerate it! After getting in the car, Terrence nced out the window as usual. Then he realized how stupid his action was and immediately stepped on the gas. The limited edition Bugatti Veyron roared and disappeared in the rain. Alexa had no choice but to leave the factory after Brenton refused to talk and hung up. Alexa remembered something all of a sudden and walked along the path to the cemetery on the mountain Terrence had sent her a text ten minutes ago and asked where she was. Alexa pondered for a while. Outside. Taking a rxing walk,¡± she replied. Chapter 55 Chapter 55 Chapter 55 Feel Embarrassed When Terrence got her text, his face darkened, and a sneer appeared on his face. Not only did she hide something from him, but she also lied to him. Irritation shed through Terrence¡¯s eyes, and he headed to the set where Brynlee was. Edwin called right at that moment. ¡°The jewelry you prepared for Mrs. Ramsey is here, Mr. Ramsey. Should I bring it to the Duckdale Vi?¡± ¡°When did I say it was for Alexa? Who allowed you to assume it was for her?¡± Terrence¡¯s tone was spine-chilling ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mr. Ramsey,¡± Edwin answered nervously. After a moment of silence, Terrence changed his mind. ¡°Bring it to the set.¡± ¡°OK, Mr. Ramsey.¡± Didn¡¯t Mr. Ramsey say he wanted to prepare a birthday present for Mrs. Ramsey this morning? Edwin wondered. Terrence went to the set and did not tell Brynlee in advance. Brynlee chirped with joy as she saw Terrence on the set, and a proud smile broke across her beautiful face. ¡°Terrence? Why are you here? There are too many cameras here,¡± Brynlee reminded Terrence. ¡°To see you.¡± Terrence took out the gift box with a smile. ¡°That ne is not good enough. I bought another one for you.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Brynlee smiled in surprise and said coquettishly. ¡°You didn¡¯t have to.I am not angry at you or something.¡± Even though she said this, Brynlee couldn¡¯t wait to open the box and show the jewelry to everyone. It was an emerald ne like thest one. The crowd gathered to see the ne and was awed by it. However, Brynlee¡¯s smile froze as she saw it. She put on a forced smile as if a mask was fixed on her face. Terrence had never given her that jewelry before, not to mention that this was not her style at all. How could he not know that? Could it be that he bought it for Alexa in the first ce? ¡°You didn¡¯t go to work today, Terrence?¡± Brynlee asked. ¡°I have some errands to run.¡± Brynlee could feel that Terrence didn¡¯t love her as he used to after she came back. Brynlee¡¯s expression was calm, but she was already panicking inside. She had done so much so that one day she could be hiswfully wedded wife. But now, Brynlee realized things were getting out of her control. Did Terrence really think that she was someone to be trifled with? Brynlee gritted her teeth and remembered something. She asked others to leave the room and approached Terrence with an enigmatic expression on her face. ¡°Terrence! I remember today is Alexa¡¯s birthday.¡± Anger stirred within Terrence again as Brynlee mentioned Alexa¡¯s birthday. ¡°It¡¯s not that important. I wouldn¡¯t even remember if you didn¡¯t tell me,¡± Terrence said coldly. Brynlee smirked and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. ¡°I see Alexa as my sister. Since it¡¯s her birthday, let me hold a birthday party for her.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to.¡± ¡°Terrence,¡± Brynlee gently shook his arm and added, ¡°let me do that for her. You and she will get separated soon. Who knows how many times we can get together again!¡± A hint of coldness shed through Terrence¡¯s eyes as he heard Brynlee¡¯s words. Maybe Alexa didn¡¯t care to tell him where she went or who she met because she thought she was about to leave the Ramsey family. What was the use of being nice to Alexa? She had already prepared to sign the divorcing papers and leave at any moment. Maybe she wouldn¡¯t remember who he was after the divorce. He had done so many things tocatch her attention over the past three years, but he failed. ¡°Terrence?Terrence?¡± When Terrence came back to his senses, he saw Brynlee¡¯s delicate face right in front of him. ¡°Let¡¯s hold a birthday party for Alexa, okay?¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Terrence was absent-minded for a second and replied in a hioarse voice. The warmth in Brynlee¡¯s eyes instantly turned to ice. Alexa was standing in the cemetery at the moment. She put the flowers on her parents¡¯ graves and sat in front of them without moving for a while. She wanted to say something but didn¡¯t know where to start as she opened her mouth. ¡°Dad, Mom. I¡¯m sorry that I couldn¡¯t protect the Duran family. I couldn¡¯t protect anything,¡± Alexa said and grasped the hem of her clothes. ¡°I haven¡¯t found Keyon either. ¡°Dr. Powell is very serious about treating me, but I know I don¡¯t have much time left.¡± Her tone was peaceful when she predicted her life would end soon. Her body went cold all of a sudden, and she wrapped her liands around her knees. ¡°You guys know I am a coward. So why did you leave me alone in this world?¡± Alexa choked. ¡°But I suppose a depraved and useless person like me shouldn¡¯t be able to go to heaven with you.¡± The worsening weather wasn¡¯t doing her a favor. Her shoes had been soaked in the muddy water and making her feet cramp. She was cold and stiffened with pain. She didn¡¯t care much about how miserable she looked at the moment and tried to get up. But her feet were weak, and she could not stand steadily. She staggered and fell to the ground. An umbre appeared in her sight, and a hand grabbed her arm. Alexa nced at the hand that was grabbing her arm. A tall man with broad shoulders was standing quietly in front of her. Under the ck umbre, Terrence was holding a bunch of flowers and looking down at her arrogantly. Alexa was sitting on the ground as if she was kneeling in front of a mighty and begging for his forgiveness and mercy. Terrence let go of her arm as she wobbly tried to get up and stood firm. Then Terrence turned to Alexa¡¯s parents¡¯ graves, put the flowers in front of them, and took a bow. Both of them remained silent until he stood up and said in a deep voice, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Terrence walked in front of lier, and Alexa did not oppose him. She followed him from a safe distance. She had fallen to the ground and was covered in tnud. Thus, slie didn¡¯t have the courage to sit in Terrence¡¯s car. Seeing Alexa pondering about something in front of the car door, Terrence felt a sh of irritation. ¡°Get in,¡± Terrence said. ¡°I don¡¯t want to¡­¡± Alexa said in embarrassment. ¡°Are you nning to walk home? Haven¡¯t you been embarrassed enough today?¡± Terrence cut her off with a gloomy face. Alexa¡¯s eyes reddened. She squeezed the umbre in her hands and didn¡¯t know what to say in response. She was already in a bad mood, and Terrence¡¯s words made it worse. ¡°Get in the car,¡± Terrence asked in a displeased tone. Alexa didn¡¯t have a choice but to listen to him. She got in the car and sat beside him. Her clothes were tightly pressed against her body. But Alexa did not have time to think about it. She shifted slightly to get away from him, His suit was not cheap. Alexa would not dare to imagine how much she would have to pay if she stained it. Terrence¡¯s expression did not ease at all. But he still handed a nket over and turned up the heat. This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . Alexa took the nket and ced it on the seat. Terrence went silent for a while. He looked at her coldly, and anger flooded in his veins. ¡°Is this how you rx?¡± Alexa sobbed, and tears filled her eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me.¡± Chapter 56 Chapter 56 Chapter 56 Hysterical Alexa Terrence was infuriated by her, but when he noticed she was in sucli a sorry state, he couldn¡¯t say what he wanted to say. ¡°Looking for a fight every day?¡± Terrence suppressed his anger and said word by word, ¡°I don¡¯t care who cares about you. In the legal sense, I am still your husband.¡± Alexa lowered her head and did not speak to him. She was already tired of those words. What was the point of always emphasizing her identity? She was no different from a shell. Alexa felt that the thing she regretted the most was falling in love with Terrence. She met the most unreachable inan at the wrong time, and in the end, she was disillusioned and had no way out. He should be reluctant to marry her. And a little charity from him made her sacrifice her dignity and love him for three years. ¡°Brynlee has prepared a birthday party for you. You should go,¡± Terrence said in a matter-of-fact tone. ¡°Why did she hold a birthday party for me? Does my birthday have anything to do with her?¡± Those words were extremely harsh, but Terrence only moved his fingers slightly and was not angry. ¡°You should really go. Brynlee has been preparing for a long time,¡± he said. ¡°For your sake?¡± Alexa asked with a wry smile. ¡°Yes, for my sake.¡± Terrence felt it was not enough and added, ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Alexa didn¡¯t want to have anything to do with Brynlee. But when she heard Terrence would go with her, Alexa slightly curved her lips and agreed. Alexa was curious as to what Brynlee would do in front of her. After taking a shower at home, Alexa picked something nice to wear and went to the hotel with Terrence. Alexa was meritally prepared, but when she saw Brynlee walking leisurely toward them liolding the hern of her skirt, Alexa wanted to run away. Brynlee and Terrence¡¯s clothes were of the same brand. They were dressed like a couple. Alexa stood at the side, like an unwanted ¡°country bumpkin¡±. ¡°Happy birthday, Alexa.¡± Brynlee walked towards lier with a smile. Alcxa averted her faze with a cold face. ¡°My parents wille, and I also invited a few friends.¡± Brynlee stood beside Terrence and said in a generous and proper manner, ¡°They are all people I know.¡± Alexa randomly found a seat and sat down, gradually surrounded by a group of strangers. As for Terrence and Brynlee, they naturally took the main seats. Alexa had expected this oue. How could Brynlee be so kind as to hold Alexa a birthday banquet? Terrence chatted with Brynlee¡¯s parents. Alexa was not interested in their conversation and ate. Brynlee had been paying attention to Alexa and reminded her elegantly, ¡°Alexa, eat slowly.¡± Terrence nced at Alexa. Noticing she had a good appetite, he did not care. When Gavyn noticed it, he immediately concluded that Alexa was not favored by Terrence. So, Gavyn naturally would not miss the opportunity to avenge his daughter. ¡°Brynlee, Ms. Duran is hungry. It is understandable.¡± Gavyn teased, ¡°But the banquet hasn¡¯t started yet. Haven¡¯t your parents taught you not to eat now?¡± Acrisp sound came. Alexa pressed her fork on the table with a p, and her indifferent face suddenly became cold. She was hostile now. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Gavyn said angrily, ¡°I was just joking.¡± Terrence took a sip of tea and looked at Alexa with indulgence, even looking forward to seeing what she would do next. ¡°Am I too kind to you? Who do you think you are to teach me a lesson?¡± Alexa¡¯s cold eyes were like a bottomless abyss. ¡°You¡­¡± Gavyn¡¯s face was livid, and he wanted to immediately Dip the table. However, Terrence sat beside him and did not say a word, making Gavyn a little confused. Why didn¡¯t Terrence stop Alexa? She was over the line. Gavyn couldn¡¯t help but feel somewhat displeased with Terrence. Emely sat at the side and rolled her eyes at Alexa. ¡°How can say that, Ms. Duran? We are your elders!¡± Emely shrieked. Terrence rubbed a cup with an indifferent expression. His eyes narrowed, and his aura gradually turned cold, faintly murderous, He gave Alexa a chance to vent her anger, but it did not mean that she could be bullied by others. ¡°Calm down, everyone. Today is Alexa¡¯s birthday. Let¡¯s not be rude. Let¡¯s cut the cake.¡± Brynlee was perceptive. Alexa stood up straight and did not give in to them. Brynlee opened the lid of the cake, and an exquisite and attractive strawberry cake appeared in front of everyone. Alexa only took a nce at it before clenching her fists at her sides, and her whole body trembled with anger. Alexa would never forget that her family had prepared such a cake for her birthday two years ago. However, after the birthday party, Alexa¡¯s father had fallen from the tall building, and her mother had been hospitalized before dying. Now, Brynlee prepared an identical cake for her. Did Brynlee want to ridicule Alexa? What right did Brynlee have to do that? Alexa picked up the tes in front of her with red eyes and smashed the cake with them. Brynlee screamed and immediately hid behind Terrence. ¡°Alexa, what are you doing?¡± Alexa forced herself to hold back her tears. She had never been as brave as she was now. ¡°You¡­ Are you going too far?¡± ¡°Alexa¡­,¡± Brynlee said insincerely, feeling extremely happy. ¡°Am I not doing well enough? I will change immediately.¡± Alexa nced at Brynlee resolutely and gritted her teeth. ¡°Brynlee, one day, I will pay you back thousand times over!¡± Terrence¡¯s gaze had been fixed on Alexa. He had never seen her like this. Alexa was being hysterical. In Terrence¡¯s heart, there was only endless pain and self-me. ¡°Terrence, she is going overboard!¡± Gavin scolded Alexa self-righteously, and in the next second, lie was frightened by Terrence¡¯s cold eyes. Terrence didn¡¯t even look at Brynlee. He immediately got up and cliased after Alexa. Feeling someone holding her hand behind her, Alexa paid no attention to it and immediately shook Terrence¡¯s hand off. ¡°Alexa, Alexa¡­ Wait for me,¡± Terrence said nervously. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. Alexa suddenly turned and stood in front of him with a determined face. ¡°Terrence, do you think it¡¯s fun?¡± ¡°You think it¡¯s interesting to insult me?¡± ¡°You have power, so you can trample on my life to your heart¡¯s content. I have never resisted, Terrence. I have never resisted!¡± Alexained in a intive voice. ¡°Isn¡¯t that enough? Do you want me to die for you?¡± Terrence was stupefied and felt a sharp pang in his heart. Chapter 57 Chapter 57 Chapter 57 Don¡¯t Mention Divorce Again ¡°Why do you think so? I never thought so.¡± Alexa sneered in disapproval and silently walked forward. Terrence followed behind her and grabbedlier wrist in an attempt to cheer her up. ¡°I¡¯ll drive you back.¡± ¡°No need,¡± Alexa said coldly, looking at his wrist in disgust. Terrence was hurt by her gaze and suddenly loosened his grip a little. ¡°You don¡¯t have to follow me. You can go back to her,¡± Alexa said. ¡°Can you asionally listen to me? I said I would drive you back,¡± Terrence said helplessly. Alexa no longer said anything, but the haze in her eyes still had not dissipated. Terrence sighed silently. His warm left hand went all the way down to hold hers firmly and gently. Alexa was passively led to the car by him. Brynlee rushed out and pulled Terrence to stand outside the car, exining what had just happened incoherently. ¡°Terrence, I really didn¡¯t expect Alexa to be so angry. I just wanted to make her happy.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Terrence replied indifferently, and the coldness in his eyes instantly surged out. ¡°Don¡¯t go, okay?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve already made it clear.¡± Terrence pushed her hand away coldly, his tone warning as he said, ¡°Alexa is still my wife. If there is anything, we can talk about itter.¡± ¡°But Terrence¡­ Didn¡¯t she already propose a divorce to you?¡± Tears shed in Brynlee¡¯s eyes, and she instantly felt her world crumbling around her. ¡°Don¡¯t mention divorce again!¡± Terrence¡¯s tone was cold, and there was a faint me in his eyes. For the first time, Brynlee felt this man was so strange toler. Il Bryntee couldn¡¯t marry into such a wealthy family, how could Alexa do it? After he finishiedspeakine. Terrenice¡¯s face did not solteratall. much less return to his usual gentleness toward Brynlee, Terrence¡­,¡± Brynlee softly murmured, looking at him with tears in her eyes. Terrence wasn¡¯t moved in the slightest. He turned around and left with a cold expression Alexa sat in the front passenger seat and saw it all. However, she was not moved at all. Terrence kept saying that Brynlee was his true love, but he could also be so ruthless to Brynlee. The door lock beside Alexa rang, and a chill breeze came in. When Terrence got into the car, his expression actually softened a lot. Alexa tilted hier head and casually looked out the window. Thinking about how she had been eating non-stop, Terrence asked. ¡°What do you want to eat? I¡¯ll ask the cook to make it for you.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to eat anything,¡± Alexa replied annoyingly. Terrence acted as if he hadn¡¯t heard her and continued to ask. ¡°I noticed you enjoyed fish just now. How about I ask the cook to make more?¡± ¡°No need.¡± Alexa refused with a straight face and never talked to him again. Terrence also remained silent and drove all the way home. Mina saw the two return together, and before she could be happy, she wore a worried expression. ¡°Have you had dinner?¡± Mina quickly said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, sir. The chef just left. I¡¯ll call him back now.¡± ¡°There is no need for that,¡± Terrence smiled and said gently, ¡°Mina, it¡¯s okay. You can go back now.¡± With that, Terrence took off his coat, picked up his apron, and skillfully wore it. Mina understood, replied, and immediately left. This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . Alexa took a ss of water and saw Terrence standing in front of a chopping board, handling a fresh fish seriously. Everything else aside, Terrence was indeed an ideal husband. He was savvy and could cook. Ile also remembered all the significant dates, never stingy with gifts. ¡°You can take a rest first. Dinner will be ready soon.¡± After returning home, the anger in Alexa¡¯s heart faded a lot. When replying to Terrence, she used more words than just now. ¡°There¡¯s no need for such trouble. I¡¯m not hungry.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not troublesome.¡± Since he felt it was not troublesome, Alexa did not say anything more. She had been drenched in the rain in the cemetery today, feeling a little dizzy. Alexa took a bath and fell asleep after taking the medicine. Dr. Powell seemed to have changed her medicine. Recently, she had been sleeping a lot more. Alexa only nned to take a nap for ten minutes, but she overslept. Dreams were on and off. She felt like she had been drowning. ¡°What is your name?¡± ¡°Alexa. My name is Alexa.¡± The person in her dream was asking for her name, but he only left her a vague back. Alexa cried out hysterically in her dream and reached out, but she could not touch the person. ¡°Alexa? Alexa?¡± A familiar voice barged into her dream. Alexa woke up with cold sweat, as if he had been fiercely stabbed by someone. Terrence sat by her bed, half raised his right hand, and looked at her questioningly. Alexa was still in a daze from her dream, and when she looked at him, it was as if he had been a stranger. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?¡± Terrence asked as he raised his hand to feel her forehead. ¡°I¡¯m fine. I don¡¯t have a fever,¡± he smiled faintly. ¡°Dinner is ready. Let¡¯s go downstairs to eat.¡± Alexa was absent-minded for a long time, and in the end, she weakly nodded. ¡°Alright.¡± They were alone at home, and Alexa did not feel ufortable. She went downstairs in her pajamas. There were sumptuous dishes on the dining table, as well as an unopened cake. Alexa instantly stopped and frowned slightly. Terrence did not notice her displeasure and took the lead to walk to the dining table, pulling out a chair for her. ¡°Why ¡­ is it so grand?¡± She spoke in a low voice with an awkward expression as she sat down in front of him. ¡°I¡¯m sorry for your unpleasant birthday. In the future, I will hold birthday parties for you personally,¡± Terrence said in a deep voice. Terrence said he would personally celebrate her birthday. Alexa felt a lump in her throat. She was touched. ¡°Actually, there¡¯s no need,¡± she said in a low voice. ¡°It¡¯s not a major festival.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Terrence changed the topic, ¡°Make a wish first.¡± Watching him unwrapping the cakeyer byyer, Alexa was actually very nervous. Finally, an extremely delicate chocte cake was revealed,pletely different from the one Brynlee had prepared for her. Before Terrence lit the candles for her, he noticed Alexa had a nk expression and immediately exined. ¡°Edwin told me desserts could cheer a person up.¡± ¡°I will eat with you. Don¡¯t worry about getting fat.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it. People who truly love you will not care about your appearance. The free soul is precious and unique.¡± His tone was gentle and calm. Alexa listened and suddenly burst into tears. Chapter 58 Chapter 58 Chapter 58 What Is Your Birthday Wish? Terrence suddenly became nervous and quickly handed her a tissue. ¡°Sorry,¡± he said apologetically. ¡°Don¡¯t cry.¡± He remembered Alexa rarely cried. However, she would never tell him her emotions. But ever since he proposed a divorce, Alexa had been emotionally unstable. Although he did not love her, Terrence¡¯s original intention of marrying her was not to hurt her. Alexa cried softly but did not say anything. The tissue Terrence had given her was soaked. ¡°I will give you an exnation for today. ¡°I saw my father jump down from the rooftop of thepany. My mother had a heart attack and died in the emergency room just after she was sent there. Later, my brother was taken away by the creditor and never came back.¡± Alexa¡¯s tone was extremely calm. ¡°I watched them leave me, but I couldn¡¯t do anything. ¡°I was haunted by nightmares, and it made me wish I were dead. ¡°I really ¡­ hate birthdays.¡± Alexa had just calmed down, but now she felt excited again. But her eyes hurt so much that not a single tear could form. Terrence opened his mouth, but in the end, he hugged her tightly without saying a word. ¡°I am sorry.¡± ¡°I often wonder why I am the only one who lives a life of ignominy.¡± ¡°Alexa,¡± Terrence interrupted her in a firm tone. ¡°You¡¯re a member of the Ramsey family now. No matter what happens, we will never abandon you.¡± When she heard him mention the Ramsey family, the sorrow in Alexa¡¯s eyes quickly subsided. The pain in her heart instantly formed a scab, and it was harder than invulnerable armor. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± ¡°Hurry up and make your wish,¡± Terrence lit the candles and said. ¡°What is your birthday wish?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t tell you. It won¡¯t work if I tell you,¡± Alexa said seriously. ¡°Alright.¡± Terrence chuckled and watched her slowly close her eyes. This was the most harmonious and pleasant dinner ever. Alexa said a lot to ¡®Terrence. The subjects were diversified, and she wasn¡¯t ufortable telling him about them. When she was excited, Terrence¡¯s phone rang Alexa immediately stopped talking and said ¡°sensibly¡±, ¡°Take it.¡± Terrence nced at the caller ID and immediately hung up. ¡°Continue,¡± he said softly. ¡°Is it really okay?¡± ¡°She should be calling to apologize.¡± As Terrence spoke, the phone rang again. Noticing Alexa seemed to mind, Terrence handed her the phone. ¡°Do you want to answer it?¡± ¡°Me? ¡°Yes.¡± Terrence nodded. ¡°If you want to answer it, just do it. If you don¡¯t want to do it, just hang up.¡± Alexa would not miss the chance to disgust Brynlee. Alexa smiled innocently and answered the phone. ¡°Terrence, are you still angry?¡± Brynlee said impatiently. ¡°Can youe and see me? I apologize to you.¡± ¡°It is me.¡± Recognizing Alexa¡¯s voice, Brynlee was instantly enraged. ¡°How could it be you?¡± Brynlee asked with a ferocious expression. ¡°You took Terrence¡¯s call behind his back?¡± ¡°He asked me to answer it,¡± Alexa said in a t tone. ¡°You¡¯re calling to apologize, aren¡¯t you?¡±T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Return the phone to ¡®Terrence first. I have something to tell him.¡± ¡°If you want to apologize, do it to me.¡± ¡°Apologize? Why should I apologize to you?¡± Brynlee said arrogantly. ¡°I was kind enough to hold a birthday party for you, but you don¡¯t appreciate it?¡± Alexa did not reply and put the phone on the table, putting Brynlee on speaker ¡°Hello? Alexa, are you listening to me?¡± ¡°Just apologize. We don¡¯t have anything else to talk about.¡± Alexa finished and raised her ss at Terrence with a smile. Terrence did not care what Brynlee was saying. He gracefully raised his ss and gently clinked it with Alexa. ¡°As I said, you are not qualified!¡± Brynlee growled fiercely. ¡°Where is Terrence?¡± ¡°It seems she does not intend to apologize.¡± Alexa spoke slowly, holding her chin as she looked innocently at Terrence. ¡°What should we do?¡± ¡°What are you talking about?¡± Brynlee realized that something was wrong, but it was toote. Terrence put down his fork and took the phone. Alexa gently smiled. The pleasure of revenge was simply wonderful. She cut a piece of cake and gently walked to Terrence, scooping a spoonful into his mouth. Terrence didn¡¯t like sweet food, but he didn¡¯t refuse when Alexa wanted to feed him. ¡°Is it delicious?¡± Alexa asked with a smile, then scooped another spoonful, and handed it over. On the other side of the line, Brynlee realized something was wrong. Terrence helplessly exined. ¡°Nothing.¡± Alexa chuckled and deliberately asked. ¡°Do you want more? I¡¯ll feed you again.¡± Terrence frowned slightly and hield her wrist with proper force. Alexa deliberately groaned softly for Brynlee to hear. Terrence¡¯s gaze became subtle, and he curtly replied before hanging up the phone. Meeting his gaze, Alexa instantly felt that something was not right. She quickly withdrew her hand, but Terrence did not have any intention of letting go. ¡°The cake is finished¡­ Let go,¡± she said with a guilty conscience. ¡°If you¡¯re done, eat a little more.¡± Terrence gave a clever pull, and Alexa immediately lost her bnce and fell toward him. He reached out at the right time to hold her waist, and when Alexa came to her senses, she was already sitting sideways on hisp. They were in an intimate position. Alexa¡¯s heart seemed to be about to jump out. ¡°. Just now¡­¡± ¡°What happened just now?¡± Terrence raised her hand, and Alexa suddenly realized¡­ The cream on her hand was on his clothes. ¡°Sorry, sorry.¡± Alexa turned pale in an instant and raised her hand in a panic to wipe his clothes. When her hand was about to touch Terrence¡¯s chest, she was immediately pulled back by him. Terrence¡¯s face slightly darkened, and his voice was a little strange. ¡°Don¡¯t move.¡± ¡°What? What was even stranger was that Terrence did not make things difficult for her anymore and immediately released her. Before Alexa could figure things out, Terrence got up and returned to his room without looking back What was wrong with him? Was it because Alexa dirtied his clothes? Alexa touched the tip of her nose and immediately walked to the door of his room ¡°Take off your clothes and give them to me.¡± Alexa said bluntly ¡°I will help you wash them clean.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, the door was opened. Looking at Terrence in front of her, Alexa instantly froze in ce. Terrence took off his shirt and had it in his hand. His upper body was bare, exposed to her without reservation Chapter 59 Chapter 59 Chapter 59 I Won¡¯t Like Them As Much ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°What about me!¡± Alexa simply did not expect that Terrence would take advantage of her. With just a nce, Alexa couldn¡¯t think about anything else. Terrence¡¯s figure was simply perfect. His muscles were extremely sexy, and his perfect inverted triangr figure made him look thin with clothes on. However, when he was shirtless, he was so muscr Alexa turned around with a red face and was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and get in. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you wearing clothes?¡± she said in a slightly ming tone. ¡°Didn¡¯t you ask me to take it off?¡± ¡°But, but you cannot¡­¡± ¡°What? I¡¯m at home,¡± Terrence said slowly. ¡°Alright.¡± Alexa held out her hand. ¡°Give me the clothes.¡± ¡°My clothes are taken care of by a specially-assigned person. You don¡¯t need to worry about it, darling,¡± When he said the word ¡°darling¡± in a low voice, it was inexplicably seductive. ¡°Alright, then I¡¯m leaving.¡± Alexa only wanted to escape from there quickly, but her wrist was caught by him again. Before she could regret it, Terrence pulled her into the room. ¡°Let go of me!¡± Alexa waved her other hand in vain and pped on the switch of the light, and the room instantly darkened. But by the moonlight outside the window, Alexa felt she was going to be pressed into the wall by The imaginary pain did not happen Terrence reached out in time and ced his palun behind her back Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. Alexa raised her hands and propped them on his shoulders, slightly moving away from him. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Her voice trembled. Terrence suppressed her with an absolute advantage. Alexa¡¯s face flushed all the way to her ears. That special male aura made her unable to focus at all. ¡°This is very strange.¡± Alexa tilted her head, looked down guiltily, and pushed him in vain. ¡°Alexa. There are some things that you should understand,¡± Terrence said meaningfully. ¡°Understand what?¡± As soon as Alexa finished speaking, her thin body tensed up. Terrence¡¯s knuckles gently stroked her face, and in the end, he held her chin suggestively. ¡°Do you want me to tell you?¡± Alexa¡¯s delicate lips slightly opened, but she could not say a word. Terrence lowered his head, and it felt so intimate. They had yet to kiss each other, but Alexa felt all the bones in her body go soft. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid.¡± Terrence spoke in an iparably gentle voice, gently cing a kiss on the corner of her mouth. ¡°No¡­¡± Alexa murmured, and the warmth that covered her body gradually left her. Terrence stood in front of her, his eyes clear, and he stopped. Thinking of the unfinished kiss, Alexa was dazed for a moment. However, the excitement in her eyes quickly dissipated. ¡°I¡¯m sorry I just drank some wine. I did something unexpected. Don¡¯t take it to heart,¡± Alexa said in a low voice, never daring to look at him. In Terrence¡¯s heart, something seemed to have suddenly broken. There was a gap between them. He and Alexa stood on each side. Terrence calmed himself down and took two steps back in defeat. ¡°You can po¡± **Thank you¡± After Alexa finished speaking, she did not dare to linger and left the room. It was like she was fleeing Thank you? She just said thank you? Terrence chuckled, his eyes bloodshot. What exactly did Alexa take him for? A savage beast? Terrence entered the bathroom in frustration. The sound of water rang for a long time. That night, they both couldn¡¯t fall asleep. Early the next morning, Terrence went downstairs as usual, but he did not see Alexa. Where was she? Could it be that she had really leftst night? Terrence pretended to be calm and went to her room. The door was not locked, and the room was tidy, but she was not inside. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, the breakfast is ready. Mrs. Ramsey is in the backyard,¡± Mina reminded him. ¡°What is she doing in the backyard?¡± Terrence asked and went to look for her. She really was here. The moment he saw Alexa, the light in Terrence¡¯s eyes softened a lot. Alexa was sitting on the swing in front of the flowerbed. When she saw himing over, she gently smiled at him. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Terrence walked up to her and, as if coaxing a child, said. ¡°Let¡¯s have breakfast.¡± ¡°Take a look,¡± Alexa said with a smile. ¡°Those red roses are blossoming.¡± Terrence followed her gaze and saw that it was indeed so. Clusters of red roses bloomed passionately, ¡°Do you like them? ¡°Yes¡± Alexa nodded with a faint smile ¡°Since you like them, I¡¯ll ask them to cut a bunch and put them in your room every day.¡± He thought she would dly ept it, but Alexa shook her head with an indifferent expression. ¡°This kind of flower is better to be watched from r. ¡°Once it is too close, it will be less attractive. ¡°And I wouldn¡¯t like them as much.¡± Alexa looked up at him calmly. Terrence didn¡¯t think too much about it. Instead, he extended his hand toward her naturally. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Alexa did not refuse and obediently ced her hand on his palm. Terrence rubbed the back of her hand with his rough fingertips and said. ¡°You are too thin. Even the wind can blow you away.¡± ¡°If I am blown away, will youe to find me?¡± Alexa asked half-jokingly. ¡°Don¡¯t be silly. Let¡¯s eat first.¡± Terrence avoided the topic. After they returned, Mina asked the cook to bring out a bowl of chicken soup. ¡°This is fresh. I have instructed the cook to make a bowl of it for Mrs. Ramsey every day,¡± Mina said kindly. ¡°It¡¯s good for the body.¡± Alexa immediately understood and carefully nced at Terrence. And he just ate the food on his te without a change in expression. He did not feel that there was any problem with it. Forget it. No matter how his parents urged him, he should have a way to deal with it. After breakfast, they went to thepany as usual. Alexa was dyed for a little while, and when she rushed to the door, Terrence was actually still standing in ce waiting for her. He was carrying her bag, ¡°No hurry.¡± Terrence said calmly. Alexa quickly changed her shoes and immediately took the bag from his hand trembling ¡°Sorry, sorry¡± Hearing her repeated polite apologies, Terrence was upset. ¡°Let¡¯s go¡± He said and turned to get in the car Terrence calcted the time, and to not bete, Alexa had to take the same elevator as him upstairs. Alexa left the elevator like a thief, and when she got to her desk just in time, the colleague next to her could no longer hold back her curiosity. ¡°Alexa, why are you so punctual every day?¡± Be asked nosily. ¡°Did your boyfriend drive you here?¡± Chapter 60 Chapter 60 Chapter 60 Just Care About You ¡°No!¡± Alexa was startled. ¡°I don¡¯t have a boyfriend! ¡°That¡¯s great!¡± Be pped her hands together and said, ¡°Let¡¯s have fun tonight. Today is my birthday Everyone on our team ising. You can¡¯t be absent.¡± ¡°Is it tonight?¡± Since it was Be¡¯s birthday, Alexa agreed to it. When she brought documents to the president¡¯s office, Alexa nned to tell Terrence Seeing Alexa, Terrence immediately ended a pleading call from Gavyn and casually put the n against the Walton Group aside. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, thank you for your hard work,¡± he teased with a faint smile, his eyes glued to Alexa. Alexa ignored his joke and reported to him seriously. ¡°I have something to do tonight. I¡¯ll go homete.¡± ¡±What is it?¡± ¡°It¡¯s my colleague¡¯s birthday.¡± Terrence¡¯s gaze was deep as he casually sized her up. ¡°What is fun about that? Must you go?¡± ¡°Everyone is going. It¡¯s not good if I don¡¯t go.¡± Terrence thought about it carefully and then said. ¡°Then I want to go, too.¡± ¡±What?¡± Alexa¡¯s expression instantly became awkward, and she bluntly refused, ¡°They did not invite you. Why do you want to go?¡± Terrence¡¯s eyelids twitched violently, and his eyes darkened. He had never experienced something so outrageous! He didn¡¯t evenke celebrity banquets seriously. He reluctantly proposed going to her colleague¡¯s birthday party with her she actually rejected him so mercilessly Terrence couldn¡¯t help but have a little doubt Was he that annoying? ¡°If I tell her, she will definitely invite me,¡± Terrence said patiently ¡°Well.¡± Alexa frowned. ¡°Isn¡¯t this too embarrassing? You are not familiar with her.¡± ¡°How am I not familiar with her? I am your superior.¡± Terrence gritted his teeth and gave a solution, ¡°Besides, I will go there just for you.¡± ¡°No.¡± Alexa rejected curtly. ¡°What did you say?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want it.¡± Terrence waspletely defeated and had nothing to say. ¡°Then you shoulde back early.¡± Terrence said. ¡°I¡¯ll pick you up at 8:30 at thetest.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± ¡°Why are you so unwilling?¡± Terrence¡¯s forehead was faintly bulging with veins. ¡°I don¡¯t think so.¡± Alexa shed a fake smile and quickly went out. Terrence thought about it. There was something he could not figure out. Just as Edwin entered, Terrence¡¯s deep gaze immediately fell on him. ¡°Mr. Ramsey!¡± Edwin was startled. ¡°Would you invite me to your birthday party?¡± ¡°Excuse me?¡± ¡°Why are you hesitating?¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes immediately became dangerous. ¡°As the special assistant of the president, you have actually fallen like this?¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey¡­¡± After getting off work in the afternoon, Alexa went to the KTV room that Be had booked with her colleagues. The atmosphere was lively. Alexa¡¯s colleagues were all dressed up sexily. Even Tiana, who had always been strict, only looked like an intellectual and elegant woman now. Tiana fit in. Alexa sat alone and ate the fruit silently. Alexa¡¯s figure was curvaceous, and her face was beautiful. She was an outstanding beauty However, Alexa did not dare to let loose As soon as she thought of Terrence¡¯s coldce, her heart trembled with fear He would eat people, right? Not long after, Be brought in a few more handsome men ¡°These are all my friends.¡± Be emphasized, ¡°They are all single.¡± The atmosphere in the private room instantly became lively. Alexa nced at the men indifferently, not taking it to heart. If she had been a few years younger, maybe she would have dated a handsome man passionately, However, she was already married, and she was even about to get a divorce. However, Alexa¡¯s appearance was too outstanding, making it difficult for her to not get attention. Not long after, a handsome man came over to strike up a conversation ¡°Hello.¡± Alexa looked up and saw a nice guy standing in front of her. His bright eyes were wreathed in smiles. ¡°There¡¯s no seat left. Can I sit here?¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Alexa responded and moved to the side. ¡°My name is Kevin Evans. I just came back from studying abroad in the UK. Now I am ready to take over my parents¡¯pany.¡± ¡°Hello.¡± In a few words, Kevin knew Alexa¡¯s attitude. She was shy. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to y with them? ¡°I can¡¯t hold my liquor.¡± Kevinchuckled and approached her. ¡°I am quite envious of people who can drink. Many men should be good at drinking now.¡± Kevin Sald softly, ¡°I also want to drown my sorrows, but I just don¡¯t like the spicy and choking feeling¡± Alexa frowned slightly she didn¡¯t like this ce ¡°I heard from Be that you were also single Why don¡¯t we exchange numbers and get to know each other ¡°No, thank you.¡± Alexa got up and left the noisy room. It was already past eight, and Alexa stood outside in the wind, waiting for Terrence to pick her up. A figure came closer and closer to her. Alexa frowned slightly. It was Kevin. ¡°Are you going home? I¡¯ll drive you home.¡± Kevin asked, pretending to be familiar with her, ¡°Did I say something to make you angry?¡± ¡°Please don¡¯t follow me. Thank you.¡± Alexa acted uninterested. Kevin cursed inwardly with disdain He couldn¡¯t be bothered to pretend to be a gentleman anymore, Heughed evilly and said in a low voice. ¡°Speak properly, or I¡¯ll get you drunk and sleep with you.¡± Alexa did not expect that he would actually say such vile words, and her cold face immediately became filled with disgust. ¡°Why are you so shameless? Did your parents not teach you how to respect others?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not like I don¡¯t have money.¡± Kevin didn¡¯t give up. ¡°You¡¯d better behave. Otherwise, I¡¯ll make you a mother today.¡± Alexa could not find the words to describe that trash. When she raised her hand with a cold face, her slender wrist was grabbed by someone. The familiar cold fragrance suddenly lingered around her. Alexa turned around in surprise. Terrence¡¯s tall body shielded her. ¡°Who are you? She is my girlfriend. Don¡¯t meddle in other people¡¯s business.¡± Terrence¡¯s malicious eyes instantly surged with boundless coldness. He directly grabbed Kevin by the neck and ruthlessly smashed him out. With a loud bang, Kevin fell to the ground with his body bent and screamed, but no one dared to go forward to help hun. Terrence elegantly threw away a handkerchief after wiping his hands and gave Edwin a cold look Then he tightly held Alexa and walked out the door Alexa desperately suppressed her tears and pretended to be calm. This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . ¡°¡®You came.¡± Chapter 61 Chapter 61 Chapter 61 Leave the Light On for Him There was panic, anger, and worry in Terrence¡¯s heart. All kinds of emotions were mixed. When he saw her still shocked little face, there was the only relief in an instant. Fortunately, he came. ¡°You are not allowed to go out alone. ¡°You need to protect yourself, understand? ¡°What if I hadn¡¯te?¡± Terrence became angry and suddenly spoke more. Alexa quietly took the scolding and, for the first time, did not quarrel with him. ¡°I understand,¡± she said wearily. Terrence instantly couldn¡¯t say anything to me her, but it was not her fault at all. He just cared about her too much. ¡°I ignored him, but he pestered me,¡±Alexa, like a wronged child, told him what she was thinking in full detail. ¡°I told him to go away directly, but he still said those disgusting words.¡± In the end, Alexa¡¯s tone was harsh. ¡°If my brother were here, he would be dead!¡± Wasn¡¯t it the same with Terrence around? Terrence narrowed his eyes and pulled her into his embrace, hugging her tightly. ¡°This will never happen again. I promise.¡± Alexa was in his arms, and the cold scent became clearer and clearer. It was elegant and warm. ¡°I¡¯m hungry¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s go home ¡°Terrence took the opportunity to hold her hand. ¡°Do you want to eat the food made by the cook or me? ¡°Anything is fine¡± In fact, she wanted him to cook for her more, but Alexa did not say it out loud. She had been troubling him, so Terrence would soon get sick of her if she asked for more. Alexa did not wish for that to happen. She finally managed to catch a glimmer of hope and did not want it to be extinguished by him. However, even though she did not say it, Terrence still put on an apron and went to the kitchen. Alexa sat on the sofa and looked at him with interest. Unexpectedly, her peeking was caught red-handed by Terrence. ¡°Why are you staring at me?¡± ¡°I am looking at the fish in your hand,¡± Alexa said without blushing or panicking. ¡°Do you like to eat fish that much? I heard people who enjoy fish are all very smart,¡± Terrence said slowly ¡°Really?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so.¡± ¡°Why?¡± ¡°Otherwise, why didn¡¯t you look at me but the fish?¡± Terrence neatly shed the fish a few times, instantly cutting it into thin slices of even thickness. ¡°What¡¯s there to see about the fish?¡± Alexa¡¯s fair face instantly turned red. ¡°Why should I look at you?¡± She muttered with ack of confidence and immediately walked away. Terrence made a few simple dishes she liked, and Alexa ate a lot. It was unusual. ¡°Eat slowly. No one is fighting over the food with you.¡± He sat beside her and watched her eat with a smile. Alexa was really hungry and did not care what Terrence would think of her. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to eat?¡± she asked. ¡°You¡¯ve finally asked me, ¡°Terrence said proudly. ¡°So, I¡¯m not invisible to you.¡± Alexa blinked and looked extremely innocent Terrence did not intend to pick up his fork. Instead, he leaned toward her ¡°Feed me.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°Hurry up.¡± Terrence urged her, grabbed her wrist, and put the fish that Alexa had just forked into his mouth. ¡°Not bad.¡± Alexa looked at his actions and was so shocked that she did not dare to speak. Wasn¡¯t Terrence a neat freak? He never ate the food that others put on his te. So, what was he doing? ¡°Eat slowly,¡± Terrence said naturally. ¡°I still have some work to do.¡± After that, he got up and went to the study. Alexa froze on the spot, and the delicacies in front of her instantly became tasteless. What on earth was Terrence doing? These two days had been too harmonious with him. Alexa could not help but reflect on it. Was Terrence pitying her? Would he actually be soft-hearted toward her? Alexa got a call from Tiana before she finished eating, Sure enough, Tiana wanted to ask her about what had just happened. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m fine. Thank you, Ms. Duffy. My family came to pick me up,¡± Alexa exined seriously. Terrence was standing not far behind her and heard everything she said. His cold and handsome face finally had a smile that came from the bottom of his heart. Alexa did not notice that someone was quietly approaching her from behind. Terrence suddenly rest his head on her shoulder, scaring her to the point that her face turned pale and she cried out in rm. ¡°It¡¯s nothing, Ms. Dully,¡±Alexa replied in a trembling voice and nced at him in shock. Several red marks were on Terrence¡¯s neck. She had identally scratched himn just now¡­ Alexa randomly said a few words and hunt up the phone, tremblin.is she looked at Terrence. ¡°I am sorry.¡± Alexa carefully exined. ¡°I did not do it on purpose. I just¡­¡± Terrence carefully sized her up with liis dark and deep eyes. He raised hisnd and stroked the red marks on his neck with a faint smile. ¡°Your ws are so sharp?¡± ¡°Sorry,¡± Alexa said helplessly. Terrence took a step closer to her, and his phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, Terrence couldn¡¯t help but frown, and his face became serious. Alexa tacitly chose to ignore it and turned to clean up the dishes on the table. Terrence took his phone and went to the courtyard mysteriously. It didn¡¯t take long for him to hurry into the house to get his coat. It looked like he was going out. Alexa inadvertently looked up and exchanged a nce with him. Terrence actually hesitated for a moment. ¡°I have something to do at thepany. I will go there now.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa smiled and was unexpectedly meek. She even trotted forward and tip-toed to tidy up Terrence¡¯s tie. ¡°Are youing back tonight?¡± ¡°Well, it depends. But I will try my best,¡± Terrence added. With that, he rushed into the thick darkness without looking back. Alexa stood alone at the door until Terrence¡¯s carpletely disappeared from her sight. Why did he lie to her? How could Terrence panic like this because of thepany? 11 he wanted to see Brynlee, he could tell Alexa. Why did he lie to Alexa? Alexa (elt suffocated and somehow had tears in her eyes. She suppressed her bitter emotions and silently cleaned up the dishes on the table. The gentleness that Terrence had given her was still warmi, Although Alexa knew he would note back tonight, before she fell asleep, she still left a light on for him. She had nightmares for the whole night. The next morning. Alexa was jolted awake covered in sweat and looked beside her. The quilt was folded neatly, and even thic sheets were t. Terrence had not returned. This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . Alexa looked down and turned off the nightmp that had been lit all night. How silly! Alexa gathered herself up and washed. When she went downstairs, Mina came over. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, Mr. Ramsey is on a business trip and will be back in three days.¡± Chapter 62 Chapter 62 Chapter 62 What Did I Do Wrong Again? After Alexa heard that, a polite smile appeared on her face. ¡°Mina, you don¡¯t need to report his affairs to me.¡± Mrs. Ramsey, he asked me to tell you.¡± Mina said with a knowing sinile, ¡°He saw you asleep this morning and didn¡¯t disturb you.¡± ¡°Mina, don¡¯t put in a good word for him.¡± Alexa was still angry and turned on the TV, intending to divert her attention. Unexpectedly, the news was about Brynlee¡¯s scandal. ¡°A famous female celebrity is suspected of getting married recently, and she is going on a honeymoon with her newly-wed husband.¡± Who else could the husband be? Alexa tugged at the corner of her mouth and continued to watch. Sure enough, Terrence and Brynlee appeared at the airport together. The picture was clear. Terrence imed he was on a business trip, Liar. A big liar! Alexa watched the news seriously and even put breakfast aside. Mina walked over and saw the news. She said indignantly. ¡°These media are so annoying. How dare they spread rumors about Mr. Ramsey!¡± T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Mina, I¡¯m not angry.¡± Alexa held her chin. ¡°I sincerely wish them a happy time.¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, I will immediately inform old Mrs. Ramsey and ask her to resolve this matter.¡± ¡°No, no need. Mina, think about it. If the media dare to report so, it only means that Terrence and Brynlee have acquiesced,¡± Alexa smiled. Alexa finished speaking, quickly finished breakfast, and went out to catch the subway, But when she arrived at the office today, Be¡¯s desk was empty. Alexa immediately wondered if it was because ofst night. Although Kevin was really dispusting, Alexa did not me Be Tiana walked over, and Alexa was about to ask, but Tiana spoke first. ¡°Be has resigned and got a new job.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°Alexa, are you alrightst night?¡± Tiana asked worriedly, ¡°I felt your tone was a little strange.¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Alexa immediately exined, ¡°I was just ¡­ startled by my cat.¡± ¡°Well, it¡¯s good that nothing happened.¡± The sudden concern from Tiana made Alexa a little scared. Had Alexa acted weirdst night? Sitting down in fear, Alexa cursed Terrence inwardly over and over again! At this time, on a private ne to the other side of the ocean. Terrence flipped through a document and suddenly sneezed. Edwin promptly handed over a cup of steaming ck coffee and worriedly said. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, you haven¡¯t slept for the whole night. Have a rest.¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Terrence said seriously, ¡°Give me the new n.¡± An affiliate of Hudson Group in South Korea was seriously short of funds. Not only that, even the newly bid project disappeared, and the senior management staff was collectively resigning. Terrence suspected that someone was causing trouble. Therefore, he immediately left the work of the mainpany and went to the affiliate in person. When Edwin brought the documents over, Terrence pulled the cor of his shirt in frustration. The red marks were revealed. ¡°Mr. Ramsey¡­¡± Edwin was shocked. ¡°Your neck¡­¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Haven¡¯t you been scratched by a cat before?¡± Terrence asked with a frown. Cat? Edwin thought about it seriously and found that lie hadn¡¯t experienced that. However, since when was Terrence interested in furry animals? Before Edwin could think of anything, he was quickly sent by Terrence to grind coffee. Terrence looked at the documents with a myriad of thoughts in his mind. He rarely could not concentrate, After thinking for a while, he still took out his phone. In fact, he really wanted to make a call. Had she slept wellst night? Did she like today¡¯s breakfast? Did her work go smoothly? Terrence wanted to know. However, he felt that such a sudden call would cause her trouble. Terrence believed everything was under his control, but when facing Alexa, he actually began to doubt. He struggled inwardly for a long time and finally sent her a message. Alexa was busy, and when she saw the message, she instantly felt cold all over. Terrence: ¡°?¡± What was that? Why did he send a question mark? Alexa thought for a moment and sent two question marks. A few secondster, Terrence¡¯s message came again. ¡°I am on the ne.¡± Noticing Alexa had a worried expression, Amira, who was at the side, leaned over curiously. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Alexa?¡± ¡°I¡¯m thinking about how to reply to a text message.¡± ¡°Who sent the message?¡± Amira said with an intrigued smile, ¡°Is it the one who gave you flowers?¡± Alexa did not reply and acquiesced. ¡°He said he was on the ne.¡± Alexa said word by word, ¡°I don¡¯t know how to reply to him.¡± Amiraughed. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What¡¯s so funny?¡± ¡°How do you two usuallymunicate?¡± ¡°We usually¡­¡± They did notmunicate much ¡°But his telling you what he is doing is a good thing.¡± Was it good? He had kept secrets from her. But now he was going on a honeymoon with Brynlee and couldn¡¯t bother to hide it from her, right? Alexa silently sneered and coldly typed a few words. ¡°Is this the first time you¡¯ve taken a ne?¡± Terrence was cheerfully waiting for her reply, but when he saw her message, he froze instantly. What did she say? Terrence repeated those words over and over again. He was going so far away, but she didn¡¯t even show her concern. It was not easy for him to talk to her, but she said such strange words. The more Terrence thought about it, the more confused he became. He immediately picked up his phone and made a call. Alexa answered the phone, and Terrence asked coldly. ¡°Alexa, what did you say just now?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t say anything.¡± Alexa said coldly and distantly, ¡°But Mr. Ramsey, what do you want to say?¡± ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°Hiding in the corridor to talk to you.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t you ask me where I¡¯m going?¡± ¡°Someone is responsible for your schedule. I shouldn¡¯t know.¡± Alexa said in a matter-of-fact tone, ¡°If you have nothing to say, I¡¯ll continue to work.¡± Terrence was enraged and didn¡¯t know what to say for a moment. ¡°I¡¯in going on a business trip for three days. You better behave and don¡¯t cause trouble for me.¡± ¡°Got it.¡± Alexa replied and hung up. For the first time, Terrence was hunc upon. He threw the phone away with a livid face. Edwin nervously held a cup of coffee and stood to the side, quietly waiting for his boss to vent his anger. ¡°What did I do wrong again? What is she angry about?¡± Terrence gritted his teeth and asked. What? Edwin asked inwardly. Chapter 63 Chapter 63 Chapter 63 Why Are You in the Hospital? Why did Terrence suddenly ask such questions? Although Edwin was brilliant, he still could not answer the questions. Terrence angrily pinched the spot between his eyebrows and suddenly mmed the documents in his hand on the table. ¡°What are those people doing? Do they need me to personallye for such a small matter?¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey¡­¡± Edwin stood to the side with a bitter face. Terrence gave him a deep look but didn¡¯t speak. On the other side, after Alexa hung up the phone, she did not take it to heart. During the lunch break, she heard her colleagues talk about the Powell family¡¯s eldest young master. Wasn¡¯t it Kieran? Alexa asked curiously. The colleague next to her nced at her and said. ¡°I heard from a friend that the Powell family has been targeted. Bart is in the hospital.¡± ¡°My goodness, why haven¡¯t the media reported it? It¡¯s so serious!¡± ¡°The news has been ckened out.¡± She continued, ¡°It¡¯s really strange. Kieran is a famous surgeon and a good man. How could he suddenly be targeted?¡± ¡°Maybe someone is jealous of him.¡±Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. When she heard the word ¡°jealous¡±, Alexa¡¯s heart fiercely lurched. Could it be that Terrence did it? It just so happened that there was a check-up at night. Alexa arrived at the hospital after work and saw Kieran in the office. She felt inexplicably rxed. It was evening. The afterglow of the setting sun nted through the window and touched Kieran¡¯s shoulder. His clean and tidy white coat seemed to emit a holy light. The twilight was as gentle as him. ¡°Dr. Powell,¡± Alexa stood at the door and called out to him softly. Kieran looked up and put down the medical record in his hand. ¡°You came,¡± Kieran smiled and said in a low voice. ¡°Sit down. I¡¯ll get the nurse to arrange the examination immediately.¡± He was still as gentle and considerate as ever. Alexa stood at the side and struggled for a long time before finally asking. ¡°Dr. Powell, how is your family doing?¡± Hearing her sudden question, Kieran was surprised for a moment before smiling. ¡°You already know?¡± Kieran turned around. ¡°In fact, my father is not in good health. Every time this seasones, his old illness will re up. There is no other reason.¡± When he said that, Alexa was more certain that there was more to it. ¡°Is it because of me?¡± Alexa said directly. ¡°I will talk to him¡­¡± ¡°No,¡± Kieran retorted firmly. ¡°As arge enterprise, it is normal for it to get unwanted attention. Ms. Duran, don¡¯t feel guilty about it.¡±. ¡°Dr. Powell, she can go over now.¡± The nurse came over and cut in, and the topic was stopped. Kieran did not tell her about the results of the examination, but he arranged a bed for her and prescribed several bottles of IV. ¡°Stay in the hospital for the night,¡± Kieran discussed with her. ¡°The amount of medicine is rtively large. Is it convenient for you?¡± ¡°No problem. Thank you, Dr. Powell.¡± After talking to him about her illness, Alexa went to the ward and called Mina. It was a good thing that Terrence was not at home today, otherwise, it would be difficult to deal with him. At two in the morning, the private ne belonging to the Ramsey family slowlynded in New York. Terrence did not dy and drove directly to the Duckdale Vi. They had not seen each other just for a day, but it felt like three years had passed. The farther Terrence went, the more he missed Alexa. Terrence rubbed the spot between his eyebrows, looking a little tired. His phone vibrated a few times. It was Brynlee calling. Brynlee knew his whereabouts. Although Terrence was somewhat unhappy about it, he did not say anything. ¡°Terrence, did you return to New York?¡± ¡°Yes. I¡¯ll go back to the headquarters,¡± Terrence exined. ¡°You didn¡¯t wait for me¡­¡± Brynlee frowned unhappily. Terrence felt a bit of a headache, but he still patientlyforted her. ¡°I¡¯ll go abroad with you next time. I have a meeting. I have to go.¡± Terrence rushed home, but there was no one in the house. Terrence searched the whole house but still could not find Alexa. It was early in the morning. Where could she go? Terrence suppressed his anger and called Mina. Mina said Alexa was at her friend¡¯s house. ¡°Get her location immediately!¡± In less than five minutes, Edwin replied. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Mrs. Ramsey is in the hospital.¡± In the hospital? It seemed she hadpletely let down her guard. She forgot about her past mistake. She actually dared to meet Kieran behind Terrence¡¯s back while he was on a business trip. The anticipation and longing in Terrence¡¯s heart instantly disappeared. His face was as cold as ice, but his heart was filled with rage. Not long after, more than a dozen luxury cars were grandly parked before the hospital. The well-trained bodyguards stood quietly and solemnly, and the atmosphere was oppressive to the point of being terrifying. Alexa had finished the few bottles of IV, and the nurse helped her remove the needle. Before Alexa could fall asleep, her phone suddenly rang. It was Terrence. After Alexa answered the call, before she could ask about his situation, she heard Terrence¡¯s cold voice. ¡°I¡¯m downstairs at the hospital. Come down immediately.¡± She thought, He came back? Alexa¡¯s eyelids fiercely jumped, and a bad premonition instantly touched her heart. Carefully looking down from the window, she saw many fancy ck cars. Terrence stood tall and straight in front of the luxury car at the front, and Alexa was shocked. It really was Terrence! Alexa did not dare to dy and immediately changed her clothes before going downstairs. She trotted to him, but Terrence¡¯s expression did not soften in the slightest. Instead, it became colder. Alexa forced a smile, but Terrence ignored it and directly grabbed her wrist as if catching a thief. The hand he grabbed had just been pricked. Terrence¡¯s force was suddenly vented on her hand, and the back of Alexa¡¯s hand instantly turned green and purple. ¡°It hurts¡­¡± she whispered, and her eyes soon became wet. She had been lying in the hospital and suffering until now. Terrence had forced her out of the hospital without asking her. Now, he was mad. Alexa was extremely aggrieved but did not dare toin. ¡°Why does it hurt?¡± Terrence shouted impatiently and turned to stand in front of her. He grabbed her hand forcefully. Alexa¡¯s bony hand was now swollen, and she could even see a few red needle holes. ¡°What were you doing in the hospital?¡± Terrence asked in a cold voice. ¡°I came to see a doctor.¡± Alexa pulled her hand back and even took a step back vigntly. ¡°What is the illness?¡± Terrence frowned hard. His patience was about to run out. ¡°Tell me now!¡± ¡°I caught a cold and came to the hospital for treatment.¡± Alexa exined word by word, but Terrence suspiciously narrowed his eyes, a strange emotion shing through them. ¡°Come and do a full body check tomorrow,¡± he ordered strongly. Chapter 64 Chapter 64 Chapter 64 I Can Let You Get Away ¡°Why do I need a general checkup? I don¡¯t have any other illnesses.¡± Alexa rejected him. She felt restless with her face turning pale. She thought, is Terrence suspecting something? ¡°How do you know without getting checked?¡± Terrence said coldly, grabbed her other hand, and took her into the car. Alexa was still groggy, and she had not rested well, so she leaned against the seat and almost fell asleep. Terrence sat next to her, like an iceberg. ¡°Was the cold so serious that you had to go to the hospital?¡± She was fine when he left, and it had only been a day since theyst met. ¡°I must have caught a coldst night,¡± Alexa said calmly. ¡°I¡¯m not strong.¡± Terrence calmly looked at her right hand, feeling ufortable. He asked her these simply because he cared about her, but Alexa behaved like she was reporting to her superior. ¡°Don¡¯t you have a lot of supplements? Remember to eat some.¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Alexa¡¯s voice was so small that he almost failed to hear her. Terrence wanted to say something, but finally, he gave up. Toe back to see her as soon as possible, he worked non-stop like a machine for a day. He had traveled thousands of miles from abroad, only resulting in this awkward situation. Terrence felt so upset about it and had to hold back his feelings. Especially when he saw Alexa avoiding him, he found it harder to suppress his depression. ¡°What have you done today?¡± ¡°Nothing.¡± She thought she could answer him, only in a careless way. She knew she was clearly grateful to him not long ago, but now she wanted to be away from him immediately. Alexa thought it was ridiculous, and sheughed at herself. Terrence happened to catch the change on her face and got down instantly. ¡°Why are youughing?¡± ¡°I¡¯m happy with what you are happy with.¡± Alexa tilted her head and looked at him with a smile. ¡°Everyone said you guys went out for a honeymoon. Hey, I haven¡¯t had a honeymoon.¡± She expressed a little yearning, but it was not sincere in fact. Terrence heard these words and became more and more confused. He wondered, what is the honeymoon? Didn¡¯t I say it would be a business trip? ¡°I¡¯m curious about why you are back now.¡± ¡°But as long as you¡¯re happy, I will be happy too. After all, a wife should be like that, right?¡± ¡°Alexa.¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes were gloomy and constantly filled with anger. ¡°Do you know what you are saying?¡± ¡°I know, don¡¯t tell me you Alexa smiled more sarcastically, teasing him and Brynlee. Terrence red at her with his sharp eyes, suppressing the urge to yell at her. ¡°Who told you I went for a honeymoon?¡± ¡°It didn¡¯t need you to tell me personally. After all, you are so busy.¡± Terrence thought he couldn¡¯t outargue her. Terrence couldn¡¯t bear it any longer and directly leaned over, kissing her lips. The sudden kiss stunned Alexa. She endured that rude kiss but still pushed him with all her strength. She could feel that Terrence was very angry, but Alexa did not want to give in. Terrence was so good at kissing that he dissolved her resistance and even bit her delicate lips lightly. don¡¯t know.¡± Alexa was breathing quickly and her face turned red fromck of oxygen. Terrence felt her inexperience and released her reluctantly. The oxygen was once again poured into his lungs. Alexa panted in pain for a long time. She covered her cor and coughed. Terrence patted her back and said with a hoarse and low voice. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. ¡°Don¡¯t you know how to breathe?¡± Alexa¡¯s ears were hot, and she retorted. ¡°I¡¯m not as experienced as you.¡± The driver stopped the car at the vi. Alexa finally calmed herself down. Her eyes blurred with tears, making her so pretty. Terrence held her hand carefully and took her all the way back to the room. His pillow and quilt were still on her bed, and Alexa instantly recalled thest night. ¡°I¡¯ll move your things over.¡± ¡°Why?¡± There were some unknown emotions behind Terrence¡¯s calm eyes. He easily pushed her down on the bed. Alexa tried to get up, but Terrence leaned and pressed one knee between her legs, looking down at her. From this angle, he looked more muscr and dignified. Alexa was totally under his control. Alexa felt a little scared. She was thinking, if Terrence gets serious, how can I get away from him? ¡°Will you hate me?¡± he asked in a low voice. Alexa propped herself up, not knowing how to answer him. It was not that she had not thought of this moment, but she had no idea what to do at all. Terrence¡¯s actions all indicated his proficiency and control. The feeling of being controlled made her ufortable. ¡°If¡­ if you request me to do so, I have nothing to say.¡± ¡°Request?¡± Terrence thoughtfully repeated the word, bent down on her neck, and slowly said. ¡°What if I say no?¡± ¡°Do I have a choice?¡± ¡°I can let you get away if you don¡¯t want it.¡± Alexa took a deep breath and pretended to be calm as she closed his eyes. Terrence smiled slightly as he kissed her neck. Alexa thought, he probably has expected this. Terrence yed a trick with me? Is this an impulse or love? The more Alexa thought about it, the more she felt she was cheap. She couldn¡¯t believe that she was willing to do that. When Terrence kissed the corner of her lips, Alexa suddenly opened her eyes and boldly pushed him away. He was obviously stunned for a moment, but very quickly, Terrence was calm as if nothing had happened. ¡°It seems that you have already made a decision,¡± he said slowly. ¡°You can go ask Brynlee or other women¡­¡± Alexa¡¯s chest heaved greatly as if she was crying. ¡°But please don¡¯t treat me as a tool. I don¡¯t want to.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t treat you as a tool,¡± Terrence exined seriously with a strange look. Alexa looked up in surprise, but he had already dressed up. ¡°But since you think so, I have nothing to say.¡± The mes in Terrence¡¯s eyes were instantly extinguished and he nced at her calmly. ¡°I¡¯ll sleep in the study tonight.¡± He attempted to dispel Alexa¡¯s worries. ¡°Rest early. I won¡¯t bother you again.¡± Alexa bit her lips and gripped the sheets tightly. She didn¡¯t know what she was feeling right now, but she knew she wasn¡¯t happy. She thought, does Terrence even consider him a gentleman? The whole thing is ridiculous! Alexa stubbornly got the quilt to cover herself. Her tone was cold. ¡°You can go.¡± Chapter 65 Chapter 65 Chapter 65 None of Them Moves Terrence said nothing and left the room as she wished. Alexa was depressed. Her stomach was ufortable, and a feeling of nausea came over her. She casually wrapped her clothes around her and stepped into the bathroom barefooted. After soaking herself in the hot water entirely, Alexa finally truly felt that she was still alive. Alexa sank under the water. She didn¡¯t raise her head from the water until the oxygen in her lungs was completely exhausted. The moist air poured into her body, but she became more and more ufortable. Alexa grabbed the edge of the bathtub and coughed violently for a while. Her lungs were getting more and more painful, so she had to slow her breathing. She panted. Alexa regained her senses. She looked down tiredly and suddenly realized that the clean hot water turned red. The ring red of the blood gradually spread out in the water. Alexa felt her heart gradually throb with pain. She immediately struggled out of the bathtub. With the mirror on the wall, she finally saw her face clearly. His mouth was stained with blood, and she got swollen all over. She was not even like a human. Alexa endured the fear and woodenly dried the water in the bathtub. Then, she got the sleeping robe on the side. It was just a simple action, but her hands were shaking violently. It took her a long time to put on the clothes. In the face of such a situation, Alexa thought of Terrence immediately. However, she picked up her phone and dialed Kieran¡¯s number. ¡°Is there any pain in your lungs? Do you feel your heartbeat increasing?¡± Kieran said in a serious tone, ¡°Can youe to the hospital now? I¡¯ll be there soon.¡± Alexa looked at the clock on the wall. It was already half past five. It was going to be dawn soon. ¡°Dr. Powell, I¡¯ll go to the hospital during the day,¡± Alexa said calmly. ¡°I don¡¯t feel very ufortable now.¡± ¡°Yes, I understand. Thank you, Dr. Powell,¡± Alexa said softly. Considering her special situation, Kieran hesitated. But he still could not rx. ¡°You muste to me as soon as possible. Cherish your life. You must not give up.¡± Kieran had met many patients with serious conditions since he became a doctor. He often encouraged his patients. However, Alexa was different. This was the first time he had encouraged his patient in a pleading way. In his eyes, it seemed that she had always been unhappy, and she had no interest in anything. She had never shown any strong emotions in front of him. Alexa must know her own situation better than him, but it seemed that she had never been afraid. There had never been someone taking her to the hospital. And he thought Terrence perhaps still didn¡¯t know about this. As a doctor, this was the situation that Kieran hated the most.. Thepany of families could greatly reduce the pain of patients, but Alexa didn¡¯t have that. Because Terrence was two-timing her, Kieran did not have a good impression of him. Coupled with this matter, he considered Terrence extremely terrible. After Alexa hung up the phone, she took a short nap. The rm clock rang just after a while. After that busy night, Alexa felt extremely bad. In order to not let people find she was sick, she deliberately put on thicker makeup today. Alexa pushed the door open and went downstairs. She happened to see Terrenceing out of the study. He wore a deep blue suit today and looked dignified and more aloof. Alexa exchanged a look with him, but Terrence did not show any emotion, as if he had seen nothing. He just walked away. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. She hadn¡¯t said anything yet. Alexa silently sneered and quietly followed him downstairs. He casually got himself a newspaper and silently browsed it, but from time to time he nced at Alexa. Instead of following him to sit down, she quietly went to the door. Terrence¡¯s deep gaze focused on her back, and before he could say anything, Mina stopped Alexa. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, aren¡¯t you eating breakfast?¡± Alexa smiled tenderly. ¡°No, I have something to do. I¡¯ll go now.¡± Just as Alexa finished speaking, Mina cast a meaningful nce at Terrence. He put the newspaper aside and continued to eat the food on the te. ¡°You¡¯re not going to thepany?¡± Terrence asked with no emotion. ¡°I am. I won¡¯t bete.¡± Alexa put on her shoes, hurriedly picked up her handbag, and left. The hospital was far from thepany, and to save time, she took a taxi. As soon as she closed the door, there was a Bentley behind them, following them at a proper distance. As he expected, her destination was the hospital. Terrence parked the car at the entrance of the hospital with a displeased look. Then, he picked up his phone and found her number. Alexa ran all the way in and did not notice the phone in her purse. Terrence called her several times in a row, but no one answered. He wondered, what is she hiding from me? Does she deliberately not answer my call? Terrence immediately got out of the car and followed her with a gloomy face. When Alexa arrived at Kieran¡¯s office, he was waiting for her. ¡°Do a CT scan and a blood test. It will be quick,¡± Kieran said. ¡°You can have breakfast after you¡¯re done. I guess it won¡¯t affect your work.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± ¡°Okay,e with me.¡± When Terrence came over, he saw Alexa taking off her coat and handing it to Kieran. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Terrence shouted in a low voice, walking to them in an imposing manner. The moment Alexa saw him, her face turned pale. Kieran calmly talked to her in a low voice. ¡°Go, or it will be toote.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa responded. Her feet became too heavy, and it was difficult for her to move a step. ¡°I arranged a CT scan. If you find it unreasonable, you canin to the hospital,¡± Kieran said to Terrence. ¡°Didn¡¯t I arrange a checkup for you? Why didn¡¯t you go?¡± Terrence stood in front of her and asked her word by word. Alexa¡¯s eyes were red. She even felt a faint pain when breathing. ¡°Excuse me,¡± Alexa politely said. ¡°Thank you.¡± Terrence was immediately getting furious. He grabbed her hand fiercely. Kieran saw this and immediately grabbed Terrence¡¯s wrist. None of them moved. The atmosphere was terrible. ¡°Let her go.¡± Kieran looked serious and unchallengeable. ¡°You don¡¯t even have this little bit ofmon sense! You are making a fuss!¡±, Terrence nced at him and gave a cruel sneer. Chapter 66 Chapter 66 Chapter 66 Last Warning ¡°Do you think you can challenge me just because you have some shares of your family?¡± Terrence was not furious, but he was threatening Kieran. This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . Alexa panicked and gave a worried look at Kieran. She thought, that¡¯s enough. If this goes on, it will definitely implicate Kieran¡¯s family. However, Kieran had no intention of giving in. He grabbed Terrence with more power. He didn¡¯t give any face to Terrence at all. ¡°This is the hospital. The doctor has the say.¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes were dark and cold, and he red at Alexa. Finding that she was staring at Kieran and she looked not worried, Terrence was even angrier. He fiercely threw Kieran¡¯s hand away and stepped forward to grab the clothes that Kieran was holding in his arms. His eyes focused on Alexa greatly. ¡°Go quickly,¡± Terrence shouted at her impatiently. Alexa was stunned by his fierce look and did not forget to look at Kieran before leaving. Kieran gave a firm smile at her. Then she turned and entered. Terrence still looked angry. At this moment, he was trying hard to hold back his feelings. He couldn¡¯t remember how many times he had seen such a scene. He thought, could it be that Alexa¡¯s health was so terrible that she had to rely on Kieran so much? Kieran ignored him and turned to walk toward the operating room. ¡°Dr. Powell,¡± Terrence suddenly stopped him, speaking with hostility. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t we have a talk?¡± ¡°I only talk to patients,¡± Kieran said coldly and distantly. ¡°What do you want to know? Go ask her.¡± ¡°She always defends you and doesn¡¯t allow me to say something bad about you.¡± Terrence sneered. ¡°I don¡¯t know what kind of magic you have that obsesses my wife.¡± Hearing this, Kieran narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gentle look disappeared. ¡°I thought highly of you,¡± Kieran said disdainfully. ¡°I can¡¯t believe the president of Hudson Group is so petty.¡± ¡°Kieran, I have already given your face.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to. I am just doing my job.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll give you onest warning. Stay away from her.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to consider me a threat to you. You and I are different.¡± Kieran did not hide his sarcasm. He did not even want to look at him. He thought a person like Terrence had nothing worthy of his respect. Just as Kieran finished speaking, Alexa came out of the CT room. Almost at the same time, Kieran and Terrence both restrained their hostility toward each other. However, Terrence still didn¡¯t look good. Alexa carefully took her clothes from him. Terrence raised his hand slightly and wanted to grab her again. Alexa dodged without a trace, and after putting on her clothes, she subconsciously took a few steps away. ¡°I need to get my blood drawn,¡± she said. Terrence stood still and did not say anything. Alexa did not have so much time to think about his emotions. She followed Kieran immediately. Watching her trotting and catching up to Kieran, Terrence was getting much angrier. But he still followed them. ¡°How do you feel? Do you want to eat something first?¡± Kieran gently leaned to her and asked. Before Alexa answered, Terrence got between them and forcefully pushed the two away. ¡°I have some in my car. Don¡¯t take his.¡± Kieran looked away coldly and did not argue with him. Alexa was also not in the mood, and she said indifferently. ¡°I¡¯m not hungry. I don¡¯t need that. Thank you.¡± Terrence¡¯s face darkened slightly. The polite words sounded extremely ear-piercing to him. After drawing her blood, Kieran prescribed her some medicine. Terrence coldly looked at them talking freely as if no one else was around. He couldn¡¯t bear it anymore. Before Alexa finished speaking, Terrence grabbed her wrist and pulled her away. Alexa chose to be silent when she stayed with him. The more silent she became, the more furious Terrence was. Terrence pulled her into the car silently and shouted in anger. ¡°Alexa, do you have shame?¡± ¡°What?¡± Alexa asked calmly. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t people go to the hospital if they¡¯re sick?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t think I don¡¯t know. Everyone can tell the thing between you and Kieran.¡± ¡°There is nothing between him and me. How could you say that?¡± Terrence silently sneered and pped on the steering wheel. ¡°Get out,¡± He shouted in a low and unfriendly voice. Alexa was stunned as if she did not understand his words. Terrence indifferently looked into her eyes and said in a cold tone. ¡°I haven¡¯t said I would take you to thepany. You promised you wouldn¡¯t bete, right? Show me.¡± Since he was so ruthless, Alexa had some courage. She immediately got her scattered hair behind her ear, pushed the door open, and got out of the car. Alexa had just stood firm on the ground when the car quickly started and left. She checked the time. She only had ten minutes left. If it wasn¡¯t for the fact that Terrence had just argued with her for a long time, she would not have been in such a situation. Anyway, she couldn¡¯t get in time. So Alexa didn¡¯t panic at all. She went to the store next door and bought two pieces of bread. After taking a few bites, she felt so ufortable that she wanted to vomit. Alexa tried her best to endure nausea and swallowed the pills with the soy milk. After Terrence arrived at thepany, he did not immediately go to the office but stayed at the coffee shop in the hall. He didn¡¯t drink the coffee on the table at all. Edwin stood beside him, waiting for him to read the documents. Noticing his boss looking at the gate frequently, Edwin felt that he was waiting for someone. After dealing with the fifth document, Terrence raised his wrist to look at his watch. It had been twenty minutes. ¡°Is there no e today?¡± Terrence asked unpleasantly. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey waste. We haven¡¯t reported it to the administrative department yet.¡± Edwin said in a low voice. ¡°You don¡¯t follow the rules? You dared to favor her!¡± Terrence said with a dark face. ¡°You don¡¯t want the job either, do you?¡± Edwin got shocked. He waspletely dumbfounded by the sudden scolding from his boss. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, I¡¯ll deal with it now.¡± Terrence pursed his thin lips and silently looked at his phone. His patience was almost exhausted. Not long after Edwin left, Terrence saw a thin figure appearing at the door in a calm andposed manner. Alexa who was still holding the two pieces of bread walked to the elevator. She obviously didn¡¯t notice Terrence sitting in the distance.. Terrence gritted his teeth and could no longer hold back his feelings. He immediately got up and followed. Realizing that someone was following behind him, Alexa moved a few steps in. When she turned around and saw that it was Terrence, her friendly look immediately turned into a cold one. Chapter 67 Chapter 67 Chapter 67 When Are You Coming Back? He entered the elevator in an imposing manner. Alexa took steps back again, almost sticking to the wall. ¡°You¡¯re cool,¡± Terrence said in a strange tone. ¡°What?¡± Alexa was confused, not understanding what he was saying. Standing around Terrence was like staying with ice. ¡°Are you faking it in front of me?¡± T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Alexa chuckled and said politely. ¡°What do you mean? Could you please say it clearly?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t get it?¡± Terrence said unhappily. The elevator door opened and he walked straight out, leaving only a cold back. Alexa really found it funny. She thought, it is him who wanted to follow me to the hospital, and it is also him who got me out of the car. And he behaves like all is my fault? It wasn¡¯t until Terrencepletely disappeared that Alexa walked out of the elevator. Just as she reached the office, Tiana caught her. ¡°Tiana, I¡¯m sorry. Something happened on the way,¡± Alexa instantly apologized. ¡°I understand. But the excuse is useless.¡± Tiana handed her a document with a serious expression. It was a punishment notice issued by the administrative department. ¡°You¡¯re not lucky. Mr. Ramsey just found it. You know he hates people beingte.¡± ¡°I got it. Thank you, Tiana,¡± Alexa said calmly. ¡°I won¡¯t bete again.¡± ¡°Alright, go to work.¡± Alexa returned to her position and put the notice aside without giving it a look. Then Alexa knew what Tiana meant by ¡°not lucky¡±. Just this morning, she had received tasks that might take the president¡¯s office a whole day to complete. The colleague beside her gave her a sympathetic look and reminded her in a low voice. ¡°Don¡¯t get in trouble with Mr. Ramsey. It¡¯s very scary.¡± Alexa smiled bitterly. She had experienced it. However, she still received the roses and chocte from Edwin. The other colleagues were whispering again. Alexa felt annoyed. ¡°Edwin, please return to him,¡± Alexa said with a fake smile. ¡°I don¡¯t need it.¡± ¡°Ms. Duran¡­¡± Edwin looked troubled. If he dared to take these things back, Mr. Ramsey would definitely kill him. Alexa saw his reaction and hesitated. times. Although Terrence always got her into trouble, Edwin had helped her many So, Alexa still epted it, but she said to him. ¡°I won¡¯t take it next time. Thank you, Edwin.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± A smile instantly appeared on Edwin¡¯s face. He had just left the office when the other colleagues instantly surrounded Alexa. ¡°Wow! Alexa, who is pursuing you? He can even have Edwin help him!¡± Amira asked enviously. Alexa distributed the chocte and flowers to them as usual and sighed lightly. She thought, in thispany, only one person could have Edwin do anything he wants. ¡°Nothing. Just a very boring person.¡± ¡°He likes you. Aren¡¯t you interested in him at all?¡± Kaya asked. ¡°No I¡¯m not,¡± Alexa said directly. ¡°I only care about my work. I¡¯m not interested in men.¡± ¡°What a pity.¡± Kaya was interested in him. ¡°Why don¡¯t you set him up with me?¡± ¡°Everyone, go to work,¡± said Tiana at a proper time, The way that Tiana managed her people had always been strict. The so-called ¡°pursuer¡± of Alexa often sent things here, which somewhat displeased her. ¡°Alexa, tell him not to send things to thepany,¡± Tiana said. ¡°Mr. Ramsey¡¯s office is right next to us. If he sees it, we¡¯ll be in big trouble.¡± ¡°Alright, Tiana. I got it.¡± Alexa who blushed in embarrassment found Terrence¡¯s contact. After hesitating for a long time, she finally sent him a message. Alexa: ¡°Don¡¯t send things over again.¡± Terrence received her message as he wished and calmly asked back. Terrence: ¡°Are you afraid of others knowing someone is pursuing you?¡± Alexa: ¡°What are you talking about? Don¡¯t joke with me.¡± Terrence: ¡°I dispel your potential pursuers. Are you unhappy?¡± Alexa thought, what does he mean by ¡°dispel your potential pursuers¡± Alexa didn¡¯t know what to say. She felt hard tomunicate with him. Terrence held the phone and waited for a long time. But she didn¡¯t send a message. Edwin just came in and reported thetest news. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, there are a lot of rumors about you and Ms. Walton online. Do you need to clear them?¡± ¡°What kind of rumors?¡± Terrence asked with a cold look. ¡°It¡¯s about you going abroadst time. The media released news that you and Ms. Walton had a honeymoon.¡± Terrence rarely showed up in public, and of course, no media dared to gossip about him. There were just a few unimportant posts. And Edwin had to ask about that. Without thinking, Terrence knew who was behind it. ¡°Why clean it?¡± Terrence sneered with his eyes lighting up. When receiving Terrence¡¯s call, Brynlee was exceptionally happy. After all, after the banquet, Terrence never talked to her again. ¡°Terrence, I thought you are still mad at me.¡± ¡°Of course not,¡± Terrence said tenderly. ¡°How could I be angry with you?¡± Hearing this, Brynlee felt more relieved. After they had a romantic and extravagant candlelight dinner, the overwhelming news instantly spread on the Inte. There were even photos of them taken from various angles, indicating their identities. However, Terrence had not done anything at all. This made Brynlee¡¯s agent a little worried. ¡°Ms. Walton, is this really okay?¡± ¡°Why not?¡± Brynlee typed some words with a displeased expression, ¡°Terrence is my fianc¨¦.¡± ¡°But Mrs. Ramsey¡­¡± ¡°What Mrs. Ramsey? Who told you she was Mrs. Ramsey?¡± Brynlee¡¯s face was extremely distorted, instantly turning ghastly pale. She thought, now that things have been like that, why is she still shamelessly upying the position of ¡°Mrs. Ramsey¡±? Brynlee indignantly stuffed her phone into her bag, and then she gently leaned against Terrence¡¯s back. ¡°Terrence, May I go home with you tonight?¡± Terrence didn¡¯t have any look, and she couldn¡¯t know whether he was happy or not. He checked his mobile phone with one hand as if he was waiting for a message from someone. ¡°Terrence, May I?¡± Brynlee urged. When Terrence heard this, he felt a little irritated unexpectedly. To his surprise, the call he was secretly waiting for got in unbelievably. Brynlee hugged him willfully, but Terrence removed her hands off and subconsciously pushed her away. ¡°I have a call.¡± Terrence calmly exined and then walked for a distance. After he picked up the phone, the person on the other side could not wait to ask. ¡°When are youing back?¡± Chapter 68 Chapter 68 Chapter 68 elerated Promotion Terrence chuckled and did not realize that his face lit up. ¡°You finally want to talk to me?¡± ¡°What are you saying?¡± Alexa asked confusedly. ¡°I mean, if you are avable, can youe back. and check the mistakes in the document?¡± Alexa said in a business-like manner, and Terrence¡¯s heart suddenly sank. He thought, she called not for anything else, just to ask me to work overtime together. ¡°Is there anything else?¡± ¡°Do you have any?¡± Alexa asked. ¡°Alexa, you¡¯re really good at killing the mood.¡± Terrence gritted his teeth and forced out a sentence. He suddenly hung up the phone. Alexa was confused, thinking, I¡¯m just talking about work. Why is he angry? After dealing with a few documents, it was already past eight. After Mina reminded her several times at the door, she finally was ready to get out of the room and eat something. She asked the cook to get her some oatmeal, and she made some simple dishes herself. Alexa sat at the table silently eating dinner.. Mina stood to the side and said sympathetically. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, are you alright?¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. I¡¯m happy when I work.¡± Alexa smiled. Mina sighed silently. She thought Alexa obviously did not know what had happened on the Inte. She also realized that perhaps Alexa was pretending to be rxed. The huge living room was silent again. After a while, a sound came from the door. ¡°Mr. Ramsey?¡± Mina said in surprise and quickly took over Terrence¡¯s coat. Terrence entered the room with no look. Mina quietly nced outside the door. Fortunately, he didn¡¯t bring anyone back. He was slowly walking towards Alexa, and Alexa silently put down her fork and looked at him. ¡°You only eat these things?¡± Terrence said calmly. ¡°Yes,¡± Alexa exined. ¡°I don¡¯t have much appetite, and I don¡¯t want to eat something greasy.¡± Without responding, Terrence sat down at the table with his cold gaze focusing on Alexa. Alexa ignored him and concentrated on her own food. Mina got it and said it immediately. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, I¡¯ll get you some oatmeal.¡± ¡°No thanks,¡± Terrence refused. He gave Alexa a look and slightly raised his head. ¡°Alexa, you go.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Alexa answered obediently. She soondled a bowl of oatmeal and ced it in front of him. She also moved the dishes on the table towards him. Terrence nced at the hot oatmeal in front of him, elegantly picking up the fork and tasting all three dishes. They not only looked bad but also tasted terrible. Terrence could not help but frown. But he did not say anything and silently ate a lot. ¡°Are you free after the meal?¡± Alexa asked. ¡°Can we talk about work?¡± ¡°Alexa!¡± Terrence got angry. He mmed his fork on the table. ¡°Don¡¯t think you¡¯re smart. I¡¯m noting back for you. I have something to do.¡± Alexa bit her lips, unable to say anything. Terrence stood up and went upstairs to the study with a gloomy face. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey¡­¡± Mina wanted to say something but stopped. ¡°It¡¯s okay, Mina.¡± Alexa forced a smile and continued to eat. In order to hide her sense of loss and fear, Alexa pretended to be okay as she focused on her phone. It was only now that she saw the news. She realized that he had left Brynlee behind and returned. She thought, no wonder Terrence got so angry with just a few words. Alexa finished eating and silently returned to her room. Looking at the pile of documents on the dressing table, she felt troubled. She thought Terrence was really good at torturing people. Just as she cursed, the door was pushed open with a bang. She looked towards the door in a little horror. Terrence stood at the door as if he had just been caught in the rain, looking solemn and cold. ¡°What?¡± Alexa held back her anger and asked calmly. Terrence walked over without saying a word and took away all the documents on her desk. Before he left, he said impatiently. ¡°I need it. Why are you taking it?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± She thought, didn¡¯t you throw it to me? Alexa frowned, cursing Terrence in her mind. She thought, I really want to beat him up! What a horrible boss! The work burden was suddenly reduced, and Alexa took a bath and rxed. She was propped up in the bed, reading. However, she could not read any of the words in the book. Her mind was filled with the news she Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. had just seen. This was clearly not the first time she acted like that, but she still felt upset because of these things. Alexa did not understand why. She knew that Terrence did not love her, but when he openly showed his love to others, she would still feel ufortable. Alexa picked up the phone in frustration and clicked the news again, seriously looking through the comments. As she expected, everyone was giving goodments, and some even guessed that they had married secretly. Terrence who had always acted like a good man had never been involved in any scandals or gossip. Therefore, everyone trusted him very much. They even made up romantic love stories for him. Alexa clutched her cor, suddenly threw away his phone, and rushed into the bathroom, spitting out everything she had just eaten. Leaning weakly against the wall, Alexa rested for a long time before she figured the whole thing out. She thought, isn¡¯t Terrence doing this to chase me away? Alexa thought she was not a shameless person, and since he was clearly chasing her away, she decided not to fake it. She contacted thewyer overnight to draft a divorce agreement again, preparing to hand it to Terrence the next day. But Terrence left home very early, and Alexa did not have the chance to meet him. She had to take the divorce agreement to thepany again. But she had too much work to do, and she was busy all morning and forgot about it. ¡°Alexa, good news.¡± Tiana called out to her, and then pped her hands. ¡°Everyone, calm down. I have something to announce.¡± Then, Tiana took out a document from the folder. ¡°After the recent assessment of everyone¡¯s working efficiency, the higher-ups have already decided on the position of chief secretary.¡± The entire office fell silent in an instant. The chief secretary of the president¡¯s secretary office was a very high position! It not only meant the promotion and higher sry but also the opportunity to directly work with Mr. Ramsey. If working hard, the chief secretary might be one of the higher-ups. Everyone was thinking about this, and only Alexa stood alone on the side, panicking. She was thinking, why did Tiana ¡­ say to me just now? ¡°Congrattions to our new member, Alexa. She got an elerated promotion!¡± This came as a shock. Everyone paled with astonishment at the news. Alexa was so stiff that she could not even force a smile. Chapter 69 Chapter 69 Chapter 69 Targeted by Colleagues Alexa wondered, why would they break the rules and promote me? Who made the decision? Alexa had many doubts in her heart, and in the end, she thought it was done by Terrence. The other colleagues were unconvinced, and they kept whispering. Not only did the chief secretary have to be outstanding in business ability, but more importantly, they must have more than three years of working experience. No one had clearly understood the level of Alexa¡¯s business ability. More importantly, she was a neer! Tiana took the lead to apud, and the others reluctantly gave perfunctory apuse. Other than that, no one congratted Alexa. Even Alexa did not think this was a good thing. The previous conflict appeared strangely, and now the promotion was so unbelievable. She took the document from Tiana and went straight to Terrence¡¯s office. After Alexa left, the others couldn¡¯t restrain their anger anymore. ¡°Tiana, regarding this matter, we hope that you can give us a reasonable exnation,¡± Amira tried hard to suppress her anger and said word by word. ¡°Judging from qualifications or ability, I don¡¯t think that Alexa can reach the standard of a secretary general.¡± ¡°I will definitely give everyone a reasonable exnation,¡± Tiana adjusted her sses and said shrewdly. ¡°In addition, if anyone has any objections, you can submit it to the personnel department.¡± Tiana made this matter clear, but in the end, the others were still not satisfied. At this time, Alexa had arrived at Terrence¡¯s office. ¡°What is it?¡± Terrence asked calmly. ¡°Why did you break the rules and promote me? Why didn¡¯t you follow the rules?¡± Alexa said slightly anxiously. ¡°In all aspects, Amira is morepetent than me.¡± When the Duran family¡¯spany still existed, her parents and brother had always hated such things. Therefore, Alexa also hated a despicable method. However, Terrence had suddenly made her be such a ¡°despicable woman¡±. Alexa suddenly felt that she was humiliated badly. When Terrence heard her words, he just shifted the main point. ¡°Are you questioning me?¡± ¡°Of course, I am questioning you,¡± Alexa said. ¡°Because it goes against the rule.¡± ¡°Alexa!¡± Terrence raised his voice and said in an unquestionable tone. ¡°Just ept whatever I give you. There is no need to talk so much nonsense.¡± ¡°But this is unfair to others.¡± ¡°There are many unfair things in this world.¡± Terrence frowned and added firmly, ¡°Besides, I don¡¯t think there¡¯s anything unfair about this matter.¡± Terrence, of course, knew what Alexa was thinking, but Alexa did not know what he was thinking. She was always thinking about others and always looking down on herself. She used to be the little daughter of the Duran Group, but now she was anxious because of such an inconspicuous position. Terrence didn¡¯t expect that she would lose all her arrogance during the three years in the Ramsey family. ¡°This matter will end here. If you say anything more, I will fire them all,¡± Terrence said coldly. ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°What?¡± Terrence leaned back in the chair and looked at her with a cold smile. Alexa did not have such great power as he did, so she had to keep silent. ¡°Then I¡¯m going out,¡± Alexa said lightly. ¡°Wait for me at the garage after work tonight.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa obediently responded and went out without looking back. Terrence did not have the joy of a winner. Instead, he was annoyed in his heart. He was so good to Alexa, but why was she still wearing a cold face in front of him? Alexa had just walked out of Terrence¡¯s office when she happened to meet Amira, who was passing by with a cup of coffee. Alexa immediately revealed a smile and called out intimately. ¡°Amira.¡± Amira stopped with a poker face and looked at Alexa with her sharp eyes. ¡°Hi, chief secretary,¡± Amira said in a mocking tone, ¡°What can I do for you?¡± ¡°No¡­¡± The smile on Alexa¡¯s face immediately froze, and she gave an embarrassed reply. Amira, on the other hand, seemed to have caught hold of her weakness as she mocked. ¡°You just went to see Mr. Ramsey. How did you thank him?¡± ¡°Amira, listen to me. This is not the case. I didn¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°No need,¡± Amira smiled. ¡°I don¡¯t need you to give me any exnation. I will absolutely obey all of the company¡¯s arrangements.¡± With those words, Amira gave Alexa a look of contempt and left arrogantly on her high heels. Alexa was stunned on the spot, and she didn¡¯t react for a long time. The rtionship between Amira and her used to be very good, and they all knew that there was a problem with this arrangement, but why was no one willing to believe her? T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Alexa returned to the office and was about to exin the situation to everyone. When Kaya saw Alexa, she immediately said indignantly. ¡°We didn¡¯t say anything when you entered thepany through connections, but how could you steal the fruits of others¡¯bor so casually?¡± ¡°Yeah, that¡¯s too much,¡± another colleague agreed. ¡°Do you know how hard Amira has worked for this? Do you know that Mr. Ramsey hates these dirty things the most?¡± ¡°There are already colleagues who are asking for an exnation. When the higher-ups know about it, you can¡¯t even get rid of the results.¡± ¡°Besides, our department is in the charge of the president. Maybe Mr. Ramsey will personally handle this matter.¡± Hearing their words, Alexa thought that they must have absolute trust in Terrence. After all, he was a symbol of absolute authority in thispany. Alexa felt that there was no need to exin. If she were to say that it was Terrence¡¯s decision, perhaps no one would believe it at all. Alexa simply kept silent and sat on the seat to deal with affairs. However, if one was targeted, everything he did would be med. Not only the secretariat, Alexa felt as if she had been hated by the entirepany. Alexa ran among various departments for an entire day to deal with some affairs that could have been handled in two hours. Not only did they deliberately affect her efficiency, but they even mocked her. However, what Alexa had experienced had made her psychological endurance strong enough to go through a lot of tempering. She did not take these experiences to heart. Instead, she worked more carefully. Everyone was staring at her, hoping that she would leave thepany by herself. However, the more others let her be in a storm, the more Alexa dared to face the difficulties. Before getting off work, Terrence temporarily dealt with a contract and sent a message to Alexa, asking her to wait for him. However, Alexa did not reply to him. An hour had passed when Terrence finished his work. He was about to go to the garage. But when he passed by the secretariat, he caught a figure from the corner of his eye. It was Alexa, and only she was still in the office. Terrence stood at the door with a deep gaze, took a look, and then went straight downstairs. Chapter 70 Chapter 70 Chapter 70 Make Advances to Mr. Ramsey Alexa did not notice the movement at the door and was concentrating on her work. Not long after, Terrence returned with an exquisite food box in his hand. Alexa smelled it and looked up in surprise. Terrence walked past her and sat down beside her. ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°The entirepany is mine. Why can¡¯t Ie?¡± ¡°Alright¡­¡± Alexa was slightly speechless. She did not care about him anymore, continuing to deal with the work. Terrence did not mind and ced the food he brought on the table. When Alexa saw this, she said in surprise. ¡°What are you doing? We can¡¯t eat in the office.¡± Terrence paused, and he smiled in silence. ¡°But I¡¯m the boss.¡± Alexa was speechless. Seeing his smile, she was somewhat distracted for a moment. In the blink of an eye, Terrence turned off herputer. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Alexa frowned in displeasure. Terrence did not take this seriously. ¡°They¡¯re not something you should do,¡± he added, ¡°Let¡¯s eat first.¡± If it was any other time, Alexa would just listen to him. However, what Terrence had just done destroyed her fruits of work! The suppressed emotions in Alexa¡¯s heart suddenly exploded. ¡°If I shouldn¡¯t do it, who should do it?¡± Alexained, ¡°It¡¯s all the fault of the position of secretary general. It messed up my rtionship with the other colleagues.¡± Terrence listened quietly with no anger on his face. After Alexa finished, she wiped her tears and turned on theputer again. For the first time, Terrence felt that his kindness had been used in the wrong ce. ¡°What¡¯s there to be angry about such a small thing?¡± ¡°Of course, you think it¡¯s nothing. You are the boss, and no one dares to me you.¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± Terrence could not help butugh. Alexa could not smile at all. The fruits of her hard work had been ruined, and she had to start again. Terrence was indeed her bad luck. Alexa kept a poker face and deliberately ignored him. However, Terrence directly pulled her chair over. Then, he sat in front of theputer. The rest of Alexa¡¯s work was to do a few nning cases. This was a very difficult task for her, but in Terrence¡¯s eyes, it was just a piece of cake. The dishes he brought were all packed in a five-star restaurant, including her favorite fish and other appetizers. Although Alexa was still angry with her in her heart, she did not refuse the food Terrence brought. Seeing that Alexa finished all the food, Terrence was happy. Alexa was packing up the food box while paying attention to Terrence. Terrence¡¯s serious appearance was charming. And his concentration highlighted his perfect face. From her angle, she could just appreciate his perfect profile. It seemed that he was so blessed. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. Sensing that Alexa was looking at him, Terrence pointed at the table with his finger. ¡°Sit here,¡± he said seriously, ¡°These cases are typical. Let me give you some advice.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± It was the dream of many people to have Terrence personally teach them business skills. But at that moment, Alexa was holding her head, and she was so sleepy. She hoped that she could understand, but she couldn¡¯t keep up with Terrence¡¯s profound thoughts. ¡°The market analysis here has to be written like this. Have I exined it clearly?¡± ¡°Yeah¡­¡± Hearing her blurred response, Terrence could not bear it any longer and tapped her forehead with his finger. ¡°How dare you be distracted!¡± Terrence was puzzled. Was he so unattractive? ¡°Just continue. I¡¯m listening.¡± ¡°I will continue. You must listen carefully. If you don¡¯t study hard, you will only be cheated in managing the Duran Group.¡± Terrence was strict. ¡°What?¡± Alexa was instantly awakened. Why would Terrence suddenly mention this? ¡°Do you want me to help you again?¡± Terrence asked with a deep gaze. ¡°No,¡± Alexa immediately exined, ¡°I just¡­¡± She just felt that it was incredible. Terrence used to threaten her with the Duran Group whenever he wanted, and now he was considering the matters after the divorce. After that, Alexa listened carefully. She had to admit that Terrence¡¯s idea was ingenious. Alexa could grasp everything he taught with a little understanding. On the way home, Alexa casually said. ¡°Why are you so powerful? Even my brother doesn¡¯t know these things.¡± Why was sheparing him with Keyon again? Terrence secretly felt jealous for no reason and answered her with a little pride. ¡°I¡¯m talented, and I can learn fast.¡± ¡°Then your teacher is amazing,¡± Alexa sighed. As Alexa mentioned, Terrence could not help but think about it carefully. But just as he was about to recall which teacher it was, his head suddenly hurt. It was so painful, as if his head was split. Terrence instantly stopped recalling and forced himself to wait for the pain to gradually disappear. ¡°Are you going back to the vi too?¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you go on a holiday with her abroad? Doesn¡¯t she mind it?¡± Alexa teased, pretending not to care. When having a normal exchange with Alexa, Terrence suddenly did not want to ruin the peaceful atmosphere. ¡°It was a business trip.¡± ¡°Well, then that¡¯s a rumor.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to deal with it right away.¡± Realizing that he was too nervous about it, Terrence added. ¡°Otherwise, when my parents know it, they will cause me trouble again.¡± Alexa pursed her lips and smiled slightly. She had been in a blue mood because of this matter, and now she suddenly felt better. At the same time, when Brynlee learned that all the reports she arranged had been processed, she instantly flew into a rage out of humiliation. The news had been released for so long, but he had never stood up to exin, and now he suddenly withdrew the news. Wasn¡¯t Terrence trying to embarrass her? Brynlee roared as she paced back and forth. Suddenly, she received a message from a stranger. ¡°Hudson Group goes against the rules and the promotion aroused public outrage.¡± Brynlee read the contents of the text message in confusion, and then she saw the photo of Alexa. ¡°Ms. Walton, this woman became the secretary general based on her rtionship. I¡¯m afraid she will try to make advances to Mr. Ramsey.¡± Brynlee couldn¡¯t help but think, Alexa, you bitch, it¡¯s you again! Brynlee was burning with fire, but her face suddenly revealed a vicious and arrogant smile. This time, she must kick Alexa out. ¡°Really? I trust Terrence very much. Don¡¯t talk nonsense without evidence.¡± ¡°I have evidence. I¡¯ll see you at West Cafe at three o¡¯clock tomorrow afternoon.¡± When she received the message from the stranger, Brynlee became more pleased. Then she confidently called her manager. ¡°You must have a lot of connections in the media. I want to expose something sensational.¡± Chapter 71 Chapter 71 Chapter 71 Expose Real Identity ¡°Ms. Walton, please don¡¯t,¡± Aaron Terry was hesitant. ¡°We haven¡¯t solved the problem this time. Many cooperative brands havee to trouble us.¡± ¡°This news is about the second daughter of the Duran family. Are you sure you don¡¯t want it?¡± ¡°The Duran family?¡± Aaron was excited. ¡°Could it be that she is still in New York?¡± ¡°Of course, not only is she in New York, but she has be the secretary general of Hudson Group by some connections. It seems that she is nning to seduce my fianc¨¦.¡± ¡°Do you have any evidence?¡± ¡°Of course. I can give it to you tomorrow,¡± Brynlee ordered arrogantly, ¡°Tell them to arrange everything. I must take care of this bitch.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Aaron readily agreed in a good mood. If they could dig up news about Brynlee, everyone¡¯s attention would definitely be diverted. The next day, Brynlee came to West Cafe as promised and recognized the person who was waiting. for her at a nce. She had been to Hudson Group several times and remembered all the women who were closer to Terrence. Brynlee gracefully sat in front of the woman, holding the sunsses on the bridge of her nose arrogantly. ¡°You are Amira, right? I remember you,¡± Brynlee said softly. ¡°Yes, Ms. Walton.¡± Amira pretends to stir her coffee elegantly. In front of a superstar like Brynlee, she felt inferior. ¡°Where did you get my contact information?¡± Brynlee chuckled, concealing the vignce in her heart. ¡°I have a friend who is your assistant.¡± ¡°Well.¡± Brynlee nodded. ¡°Then you have to ensure that no one knows the content of our conversation today. Otherwise, you and your friend will be affected.¡± ¡°Yes, I understand.¡± Amira¡¯s face stiffened, and she subconsciously pressed down on her hat. ¡°Then, tell me in detail. What does Alexa want to do to my Amira immediately took out a few photos from her bag and tried to provoke Brynlee. ¡°She entered thepany through connections. I suspect that the person behind her is the one who has been sending her flowers. ¡°And perhaps the person helped her to get promoted this time. ¡°But I¡¯m sure her target is Mr. Ramsey because she has never agreed to that man¡¯s pursuit. In addition, she often goes to Mr. Ramsey¡¯s office.¡± Brynlee was wondering, a person keeps sending flowers to Alexa? Isn¡¯t Alexa working with Terrence? How can he not know about this? The only exnation was that Terrence did not care at all. A hint of joy shed across Brynlee¡¯s eyes, but she didn¡¯t reveal any expression. ¡°Is that so?¡± ¡°But Ms. Walton, Mr. Ramsey only loves you,¡± Amira says fiercely, ¡°But that bitch is so cheap. She has harassed Mr. Ramsey several times. I can¡¯t stand it, so I came to tell you.¡± ¡°Amira, thank you very much.¡± Brynlee gratefully held her hand. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will not treat you unfairly. From now on, you will be my friend.¡± Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. Being able to make friends with Terrence¡¯s future wife, Amira felt that the worry in her heart instantly disappeared. ¡°Leave these photos to me. I will go talk to Terrence. If necessary, I can ask him to drive that woman out of thepany.¡± ¡°Thank you, Ms. Walton.¡± Amira could not suppress her joy and handed all the evidence to Brynlee. In less than an hour, the news that Brynlee had sent people to release instantly became a sensational one. ¡°A bankruptdy tries to be a mistress to get a position.¡± Edwin found out that the protagonist of this news was Alexa and immediately sent the public rtions department to deal with it. However, it became so sensational that in less than ten minutes, there were about 1.5 million comments. ¡°The situation is not good.¡± Ayer of cold sweat appeared on Edwin¡¯s palm as he reported it to Terrence. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Terrence was immediately enraged. ¡°Hurry up and send someone to deal with them. Clean them up!¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, they are faster than us. Someone has already revealed Mrs. Ramsey¡¯s true identity.¡± ¡°Go investigate the mastermind immediately. I want to see who dares to target her. Do it now!¡± Terrence roared with a gloomy face and subconsciously went to find Alexa. But going to her now would only bring her more trouble. Terrence instantly stopped and called Edwin. ¡°Take her to the garage and wait for me.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa still did not know what had happened. Edwin called her out with a serious face, and she wondered if something had happened to Terrence. ¡°What happened?¡± Alexa asked with a confused look. After entering the elevator, Edwin immediately turned into a gentle expression and said politely. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, Mr. Ramsey will exin to you.¡¯ What would he do? She still had work to do. Alexa was reluctantly brought to the garage by Edwin, and Terrence was standing by the car and waiting for her. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Alexa asked. Terrence directly snatched the bag from her hand and pushed her into the car. ¡°Let¡¯s talk about it when we get home.¡± ¡°My phone is still in my bag.¡± Alexa reached out to take it, but Terrence dodged her. ¡°I have something to tell you. Don¡¯t y with your phone.¡± Terrence found an excuse without a change in expression, and Alexa had topromise. ¡®My dad has not been in good health recently. He is living in a quiet vi now. I am too busy to see him. Can you go over to take a look for me?¡± ¡°What happened to him? Is it serious?¡± Alexa immediately became nervous. Terrence¡¯s parents were nice to her, and Alexa had long regarded them as her parents. She did not want anything to happen to them. ¡°It¡¯s an old illness of the lumbar vertebra. He had a small operation.¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me such an important thing in advance?¡± Alexa was extremely worried and hurriedly said, ¡°I will go and take care of him for a few days.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes dodged, feeling relieved. As long as she could avoid the rumors for a few days, he would be able to deal with the situation on the Inte as soon as possible. Back when they were secretly married, many people ridiculed and cursed her on the Inte because of the Duran family. Terrence knew how vicious those words were, and he showed no mercy when dealing with them. After so many years, she had once again been pushed to the edge of a storm, and all the insults had been caused because of him. Terrence clenched the steering wheel tightly, and he was furious. Alexa quietly looked at his cold face, and she frowned. For some reason, she always felt that Terrence seemed to have been very angry since just now. Was it because he was too worried about his family? Alexa wanted to ask him, but she was worried that Terrence would be more upset about it. ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± she said. ¡°What?¡± Terrence quickly turned his head and nced at her, instantly restraining his anger. A gentle and warm smile appeared on Alexa¡¯s pretty face. Then sheforted him, ¡°Your dad will be fine. If anything happens, I will tell you. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Chapter 72 Chapter 72 Chapter 72 Daren¡¯t Share a Bed It turned out that Alexa was worried about Terrence¡¯s emotions. Terrence was silent, and his heart seemed to be hit by something in an instant. He felt soplicated. ¡°With you here, I¡¯m not worried.¡± Terrence¡¯s tone softened. ¡°It¡¯ll be long before we arrive. You should sleep for a while. I¡¯ll call you when we arrive.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sleepy.¡± After that, they did not speak again. Not long after, Alexa fell asleep quietly on the seat. Terrence smiled and slowed down the car. The journey that originally took less than two hours was driven for three hours. When Alexa was sleeping, she felt it gradually jolt. Then she suddenly woke up, only to find that she was lying in Terrence¡¯s arms at that moment. Terrence¡¯s strong arms held her tightly. Alexa leaned against his chest, and she could easily smell the fragranceing from his body. ¡°Alexa, Terrence.¡± Hearing Rebekah¡¯s voice, Alexa was shocked, and she immediately struggled in Terrence¡¯s arms to signal him to let go. However, Terrence seemed to have no intention of letting go, and he just hugged her and began to chat with Rebekah. ¡°She fell asleep just now,¡± Terrence said in a doting tone. Alexa was uneasy when she heard this. She maintained an extremely strange posture and said in embarrassment. ¡°Rebekah, I¡¯m awake¡­¡± Seeing the interaction between the two of them, Rebekah and the maid called Sonia Cain smiled tacitly. ¡°It¡¯s a long journey. Thank you foring to visit us.¡± Rebekah held Alexa¡¯s hand lovingly. ¡°Terrence, hurry and carry Alexa upstairs to rest.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Terrence didn¡¯t even give Alexa a chance to make a sound and immediately hugged her tightly and quickly went upstairs. Rebekah looked at their backs and burst intoughter. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, are you satisfied with it?¡± Sonia asked with a smile. ¡°Well¡­¡± Rebekah sighed with her hands on her waist. ¡°I¡¯m so happy today.¡± ¡°Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Mr. Ramsey loves Alexa.¡± Rebekah was delighted by Sonia¡¯s words, and sheughed again. ¡°Sonia, hurry up and tell the chef to prepare a few more dishes. Remember to prepare the biggest fish!¡± ¡°Okay.¡± In the room upstairs¡­. After entering the room, Terrence finally put Alexa down. Alexa stumbled a few steps and fell to the side of the bed. She frowned and looked at him. ¡°This is too embarrassing. How can you¡­¡± ¡°You should be happy for me to carry you all the way here.¡± Terrence stood not far from her and. looked at her calmly. ¡°It¡¯s gettingte today. I should go back tomorrow.¡± ¡°Okay, then return the phone to me first.¡± ¡°No,¡± Terrence immediately refused. ¡°The situation of our family has not been revealed to the public, so during this period in the vi, you cannote into contact with any electronic products, or the news will definitely be leaked. I¡¯m serious about it.¡± Really¡­ Alexa was confused when she heard that, and she finally agreed. ¡°It¡¯s about time. Let¡¯s go for dinner,¡± Terrence said. ¡°How is your dad? Don¡¯t we have to go take a look first?¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Only then did Terrence remember what they were here for. Terrence took her all the way to the house where his father lived, and Alexa kept looking around at the scenery. ¡°The scenery is so different after some distance. The designer is so amazing,¡± she said happily. ¡°Not bad. It was designed casually,¡± Terrence said coolly. ¡°Wow¡­¡± Alexa admired him so much. ¡°You are so awesome.¡± It was not the first time that Terrence had received praise from others. But he was happier to hear it from Alexa. He couldn¡¯t even hide the smile on his face. Finally, they arrived at the house. They looked in through the window in the corridor and found that Terrence¡¯s father was still asleep, so they did not go in to disturb him. When returning to the main hall, they saw that Rebekah was happily arranging dinner. Seeing that they hade, she immediately stepped forward and intimately held Alexa¡¯s hand. ¡°Alexa,e take a look. Do you need any other dishes?¡± ¡°No, these dishes are good enough. Thank you,¡± Alexa said softly. This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . ¡°It¡¯s okay,¡± Rebekah giggled. Then she turned around and nced at Terrence. ¡°What are you standing there for? Hurry up and make a few more dishes that your wife likes!¡± ¡°Rebekah¡­¡± Alexa was about to say something, but she did not expect that Terrence would enter the kitchen. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Rebekah knew what Alexa wanted to say and patted the back of Alexa¡¯s hand kindly. ¡°Terrence is not good at this aspect, so we have to give him more guidance.¡± More guidance¡­ Alexa did not even dare to think about it. She didn¡¯t dare to guide him! Under the spur of Rebekah, Terrence soon cooked three dishes. And they included roastedmb, lobsters, and steak. Terrence had grasped her preferences to an extremely precise point. Alexa immediately concluded that Rebekah must have told him about it. He should have remembered Brynlee¡¯s preferences, How could he know her so well? Alexa did not think much about it and ate silently. The dishes that Terrence cooked were so delicious, and she couldn¡¯t stop. Seeing Alexa enjoying the food, Terrence felt a sense of aplishment in his heart. He consciously helped her block the topic that Rebekah mentioned. ¡°There¡¯s nothing to do tonight. Your father has a doctor watching over him. So you can go and rest early,¡± Rebekah smiled. It waste at night. Alexa and Terrence looked at the quilt on the bed and were both worried. This meant that they could no longer¡­ sleep separately. ¡°Why don¡¯t we ask Sonia to give me another quilt?¡± Alexa came up with a solution with embarrassment. Terrence could do nothing but say indifferently. ¡°You¡¯ll sleep here.¡± ¡°What about you?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going out for a walk.¡± ¡°Oh, alright.¡± Alexa did not persuade him anymore and justy down stiffly on the bed. It was such a big room and such a big bed¡­. She felt lonely in the room¡­. When Terrence walked to the door, he saw that she had covered the quilt. ¡°I¡¯ll turn off the lights,¡± he said casually. Originally, Alexa thought that it was okay, but in the new environment, she felt somehow uneasy, and couldn¡¯t help speaking ¡°Terrence¡­¡± ¡°What?¡± In the darkness, his deep voice gave her a sense of security. ¡°Are youing back?¡± Alexa could not see his face, so she didn¡¯t know howplicated Terrence¡¯s expression was. ¡°I¡¯ll just take a walk.¡± He didn¡¯t answer her directly, but Alexa felt a lot more at ease. ¡°Then I¡¯m going to sleep,¡± she whispered. ¡°Okay.¡± Terrence pushed open the door and walked out, but he stopped at the door and did not leave after a long time. When he looked up, he saw a sneaky figure not far away. Chapter 73 Chapter 73 Chapter 73 I Can¡¯t Bear Your Behavior ¡°Mom. What are you doing here?¡± Terrence frowned and asked. Rebekah leaned against the wall casually. Her sharp eyes seemed to have already seen through everything. She reached out and waved at him. ¡°Terrence,e here.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± Terrence stood in front of her. Then Rebekah grabbed his arm and looked at him up and down. ¡°Tell me the truth. Did something happen in New York?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not as serious as you think. It can be solved soon.¡± ¡°Do you think you can trick me? Do you think I won¡¯t see the news on the Inte?¡± Rebekah threatened him in a low voice, ¡°Fortunately, your father doesn¡¯t know it. Otherwise, he would have taught you a good lesson!¡± ¡°I was worried that she would be psychologically hurt, so I sent her here,¡± Terrence told Rebekah his thoughts in detail. Only then did a smile appear on Rebekah¡¯s face, and her eyes lit up. ¡°Good, you finally acted like a man.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want her to know about this.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Rebekah nodded. ¡°So, have you found out the mastermind of all this? You should at least have some clues about it, right?¡± When Rebekah was young, she was the chairman of Hudson Group. This matter was not a challenge to her at all. She knew it must be some unscrupulous employee colluding with outsiders to nder Alexa. ¡°It must be some staff from the same department as Alexa, especially those who have had conflicts with Alexa recently.¡± Rebekah proudly raised her chin.¡±But there should be many people who are jealous of Alexa since she is so outstanding, ¡°As for the person who could manipte so many reporters, I think you can find him out soon.¡± Rebekah had given him so many clues, and she suddenly stopped. She believed that Terrence must have thought about it. Rebekal even thought that Terrence had already found out who it was. ¡°Alright, I¡¯m going to sleep. You must settle this matter as soon as possible.¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Terrence nodded respectfully at her. The next day, in the headquarters of Hudson Group¡­ When Amira walked into the office and noticed Alexa was not there, she was in a good mood. She thought, it seems that Brynlee is so powerful. She dealt with Alexa in such a short time. ¡°Isn¡¯t Alexaing today?¡± Tiana asked doubtfully.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . ¡°Tiana, how could she still dare toe?¡± Amira raised her voice in ridicule, feeling delighted, then she added, ¡°She has done something like that. How dare shee here? Maybe she is still pretending to be pitiful in front of her sugar daddy.¡± Tiana frowned but did not express her opinion. The others were all echoing Amira, but it was not long before the office fell into a deathly silence. ¡°Mr. Ramsey¡­¡± Seeing Terrence standing at the door, Amira immediately froze. After being in the office for so many years, this was the first time she had stood so close to Terrence! He was not just handsome. He was tall, with an innate sense of oppression, and he exuded a cool aura as if he was born to be a nobleman. However, Terrence¡¯s eyes looked so cold and sharp. Sensing that Terrence was looking at her, Amira was even more overjoyed, revealing a fawning simile. ¡°You,e with me.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Amira hurriedly responded and immediately followed him. ¡°May I ask Mr. Ramsey¡­ ¡°Shut up,¡± Edwin shouted. Amira was embarrassed and upset. ¡°Yes¡­¡± Arriving at the central office, Terrence calmly sal on the main scat, while Amira stood awkwardly in the middle of the office, staring at other people. What was going on? Why were there so many people here? And they didn¡¯t seem to be ordinary people. As Amira helplessly looked into Terrence¡¯s eyes, she was immediately frightened by his cold gaze. ¡°Everyone should know the sensational news on the Inte, right?¡± Terrence said indifferently, ncing at the people sitting on both sides of the table. ¡°You¡¯re the board of directors. Today, I gathered everyone here to listen to your opinions.¡± Hearing Terrence¡¯s words, no one dared to make a sound. All of them present knew who was the one that was criticized. It was Alexa, the second daughter of the Duran family! They didn¡¯t know Terrence¡¯s attitude toward Alexa, and they didn¡¯t dare to rashly anger him. Amira realized that something was wrong and immediately cried out pitifully. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, is Alexa absent from her work because of this matter? I have a good rtionship with her. So just let mefort her.¡± Terrence nced at her coldly, his eyes full of disgust. ¡°Did I allow you to speak?¡± Amira was overwhelmed by his powerful pressure, and her eyes were suddenly full of tears. She didn¡¯t even dare to make a sound. After these words, Terrence looked at those directors with a smile. ¡°Have you alle up with a n? How should we deal with this matter?¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, the impact of this matter is terrible. Not only did it make the employee feel wronged, but it also discredited the reputation of ourpany. I think the mastermind should be punished severely!¡± ¡°Well.. What about the other directors?¡± Terrence muttered to himself for a moment before looking up with a frown. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, this behavior goes against thew. Why don¡¯t we contact thewyers to deal with it?¡± Hearing the consequences, Amira could no longer hold on, and her entire body trembled violently. ¡°Mr. Ramsey¡­ I have nothing to do with this matter.¡± She looked up with tears in her eyes and choked, ¡°It¡¯s none of my business.¡± Terrence stared at her indifferently. ¡°Why are you lying?¡± ¡°No! I am not lying. I¡¯m just telling the truth!¡± ¡°Are you questioning me?¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes darkened slightly, and there was a sense of coldness in his eyes. His voice was not that loud, but the atmosphere in the conference room instantly became tense because of his words. Amira was hesitant, summoning up all her courage. ¡°No, Mr. Ramsey. I didn¡¯t question you¡­¡± Terrence pped the evidence in his hand onto the table and suddenly stood up, looking down at her from above. ¡°Why should I listen to your excuses? Since you¡¯ve done something wrong, you should be punished. Why should you be forgiven?¡± Terrence¡¯s tone was frighteningly gloomy. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, she took the position of secretary general through connections. My performance was better than hers. The contributions I made to thepany are beyond her reach in this life!¡± ¡°What a shameless woman you are.¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey¡­¡± Terrence walked up to her slowly with a sneer on his face. ¡°I signed her promotion personally. Is there any problem?¡± What? Amira widened her eyes in shock, her brain buzzing. She couldn¡¯t help wondering, how could this be ¡­ possible¡­ How could Terrence notice such a woman? ¡°You don¡¯t need to question my decision. My standard is the standard of Hudson Group.¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, please give me another chance. I know I was wrong, Mr. Ramsey!¡± Ainira fell to the ground, humbly raising her head to beg Terrence. But Terrence¡¯s face was so cold. What you have done will not have any effect on her and Hudson Group,¡± Terrence said without mercy, ¡°But unfortunately, I can¡¯t bear your behavior.¡± Chapter 74 Chapter 74 Chapter 74 Increase the Amount of Medicine Amira couldn¡¯t ept it and immediately copsed on the spot, crying. Seeing this, Edwin immediately sent someone to bring her out. Within five minutes, what happened in the conference room immediately spread throughout the company Amira walked towards the gate with her head lowered in humiliation under the eyes of everyone, and everywhere she went was filled with whispers. She bit her lips tightly, not knowing how things had be like this. Didn¡¯t Brynlee tell her that she would deal with it? Thinking of this, Ainira immediately acted like she was crazy and immediately called Brynlee. She exined what happened in thepany in detail, but Brynlee just sneered. ¡°Sorry, but I don¡¯t know you.¡± Amira was in disbelief and she wanted to say something, but Brynlee directly hung up the phone. It was over¡­ In an instant, she felt so desperate. After dealing with Amira, Terrence immediately held a press conference. But now that things hade to such an extent, it didn¡¯t matter who was the mastermind.N?velDrama.Org owns all content. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, there are reports that you and Ms. Duran have been secretly married for three years. Can you respond to this matter directly?¡± When the reporter asked this question, Edwin could feel that Terrence suddenly became gloomy. They might not know that Terrence cherished Alexa so deeply! Just as Edwin was about to chase the reporter away, Terrence looked at the reporter who had just asked the question, ¡°Ms. Duran and I botl? have a lover. Why would there be such a question?¡± When Terrence said this, Edwin realized something Terrence was not answering the question. He was tryin to turn their attention to him. As expected, the focus of the reporters was immediately diverted and they began to pay attention to the matter between Terrence and Brynlee. ¡°At the end of the press conference, the discussion about Alexa was reduced. Terrence returned to the office and saw Brynlee standing at the door at a nce. ¡°Terrence.¡± Brynlee immediately went forward. ¡°I saw the news on the Inte, so I immediately rushed over to take a look. Is Alexa okay?¡± Terrence wore a poker face. He looked at her meaningfully and asked. ¡°There are so many reporters downstairs. Aren¡¯t you afraid of being noticed?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care what those people say.¡± Terrence casually nodded, not showing his attitude. Brynlee looked calm, but actually, she was panicking. Why was Terrence¡¯s attitude towards her so strange? Could it be that Amira had said something to him? ¡°Terrence, where is Alexa?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t need to know where she is.¡± Terrence stopped her and stared at her calmly. ¡°Terrence, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Brynlee asked pitifully, ¡°Why are you looking at me like that? Did I do anything wrong?¡± ¡°I won¡¯t investigate this matter anymore.¡± ¡°I respect your decision,¡± Brynlee said sincerely. However, Terrence¡¯s attitude did not soften in the slightest, and he became more indifferent. Brynlee felt uneasy in front of him, and she even tried to get rid of him. ¡°Terrence, I will go back to the crew first.¡± Brynlee had just turned around when she heard Terrence¡¯s voice. ¡°You saved me five years ago. I will not forget your kindness.¡± ¡°Terrence, why are you suddenly talking about this¡­¡± Brynlee¡¯s face turned pale instantly. ¡°I have many ways to repay you. It may not be a marriage.¡± ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Don¡¯t go too far. I¡¯m not a good-tempered man,¡± Terrence said indifferently, ¡°You may leave now.¡± Hearing his words, Brynlee had no other emotions other than fear. ¡°Terrence, I was wrong this time. You can me me. It was because I didn¡¯t pay attention to the media in time that they had the chance to expose it,¡± Brynlee said as she tried to maintain her dignity. At this point, she still did not admit her mistake. Terrence¡¯s face darkened, and he did not say anything to her. He hated lying the most. ¡°Get out.¡± Brynlee stopped when she heard his cold and indifferent voice. Even though she had lost all dignity in front of Terrence, she still forced up her self-esteem and walked past the crowd arrogantly when she left the office. How could she feel that Terrence did not care about Alexa? How could she have such a stupid idea? Brynlee mmed the car door in anger, her face looking gloomy. ¡°Ms. Walton¡­¡± Litzy Potter, her assistant, carefully nced at her from the side, which made Brynlee even angrier. She grabbed Litzy¡¯s face angrily and roared sharply. ¡°How dare you collude with others to harm me! Idiot! You can¡¯t do anything but ruin things!¡± ¡°Ms. Walton, I know I was wrong.¡± Litzy cried helplessly, making Brynlee even more annoyed. She pushed Litzy away in disgust. ¡°Get out! You¡¯re fired!¡± After driving away the assistant, the car quieted down again. The driver in the front seat was covered inacold sweat. He asked nervously. ¡°Ms. Walton, where are we going?¡± Brynlee thought about it with a dark face and suddenly said, ¡°Go find my father.¡± At this time, Alexa, who was far away in the vi, did not know what happened in New York. She slept in a daze and dreamed of some old friends and Terrence, It seemed that they had known each other for a long time. At that time, they had not been so estranged Realizing that this was a dream, Alexa immediately forced herself to wake up. Her lungs felt painful as if they had been filled with water, and she couched violently with just a slight breath. ¡°Alexa, are you okay?¡± When Rebekah heard the sound, she rushed over and patted Alexa¡¯s back lovingly. ¡°Why are you coughing so badly?¡± Alexa shook her head as she breathed with difficulty, and forcefully restrained the smell of blood that surged up her throat. ¡°Rebekah, I¡¯m fine. I just caught a cold at night,¡± she tried tofort Rebekah. ¡°Alexa, you look terrible. I¡¯ll call the doctor right away.¡± ¡°Rebekah¡­.¡± Alexa grabbed her hand in a panic. ¡°There is no need to be so troublesome. I will be fine after taking some medicine.¡± ¡°You are so thin, and how can you resist it?¡± Rebekah patted her hand worriedly. ¡°I¡¯ll get the chef to make some medicinal food to nourish your body.¡± ¡°Thank you, Rebekah.¡± When Rebekah left, Alexa immediately rushed into the bathroom and retched terribly. There was nothing in her stomach, but the white washstand was covered in blood. Alexa increased the amount of medicine without authorization, and half of the palm-sized pills were eaten. It was a good day today. The cool mountain wind blew into the room, and the room was full of bamboo fragrance. However, Alexa closed the window tightly and also closed the curtains,pletely isting the outside world. Her body was so weak that she couldn¡¯t take a bit of cold. Alexa had just stepped out of the room when Terrence happened to walk up to her. The two of them looked at each other. Alexa then said. ¡°Why are you here? Chapter 75 Chapter 75 Chapter 75 Just Want to Leave Him Hearing her question, Terrence could not help but let out a chuckle. ¡°Why can¡¯t I be here?¡± ¡°Well, you¡¯re right. This is your home.¡± Alexa muttered, tightened her clothes, and walked downstairs. In fact, what she wanted to ask in her heart was how Terrence had time to return. Suddenly, Terrence directly reached into her pocket and grabbed the hand she had hidden. ¡°Why is your hand so cold? Do you feel cold?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not cold.¡± Alexa lied without blushing, but the coat she wore revealed her true state. She originally thought that Terrence would be suspicious, but he directly took her arm and brought Alexa back to the room. ¡°Find another set of clothes to wear. Let¡¯s go to my dad¡¯s ce to take a look,¡± Terrence said, waiting for her. ¡°I¡¯m not cold anymore.¡± If she wore thicker clothes, she would look awkward. ¡°Aren¡¯t you cold?¡± Terrence¡¯s face was full of disbelief, and he said in a tough tone, ¡°When you catch a cold, you will know how ufortable it is. Hurry up and change clothes.¡± He personally stood guard here, and Alexa couldn¡¯t change his mind, so she had to find a thin sweater in the wardrobe. Seeing here in front of the mirror and look at him, Terrence understood her meaning. He said, ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you at the door.¡± T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. After Alexa changed her clothes, they walked towards the residence of Terrence¡¯s father, ¡°The doctor came in the morning and said that Dad is fine,¡±Alexa reported to him in detail, ¡°Tliere is no need to use painkillers now, but it will still take a few months to walk normally. In addition, there is no sign of inmmation again.¡± The doctor would, of course, tell him all these at once. However, there were always some things that he did not know. ¡°What about you?¡± ¡°What?¡± Alexa looked back in surprise. Terrence continued to ask, ¡°Are you used to living here?¡± ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m used to it,¡± she replied, ¡°I¡¯m just a little worried about thepany. I haven¡¯t been back for so long, so there should be a lot of work to deal with, right?¡± Terrence didn¡¯t expect that the most important thing in her heart would be thepany. He was so speechless. ¡°Edwin will help you deal with it.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it proper? Edwin should be quite busy too, right?¡± ¡°It was my order.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s it.¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes darkened and he quickened his pace. Alexa would run two steps from time to time to catch up to him,pletely unaware that Terrence¡¯s mood had changed. After walking a distance, Terrence felt that Alexa was far away from him. He slowed down quietly, and Alexa lowered her head, almost bumping into his back. ¡°In a few days, I will take you back.¡± ¡°Oh, okay.¡± Wouldn¡¯t she ask the reason? Terrence was so annoyed, and he didn¡¯t even know what Alexa was thinking about. That was a long way, and they walked quietly one after another, but Terrence felt that he had walked for a long time. Perhaps it was because the environment here was so good. Every time he came here, it was difficult for him to be angry with Alexa. ¡°Or if you like it here, you can just live here.¡± Hearing Terrence¡¯s words, Alexa almost froze on the spot. ¡°No,¡± Alexa refused hurriedly, ¡°When your dad recovers, I still have to go home. There isn¡¯t even a subway here. How can I go to work?¡± There was no subway, but there was a husband. It seemed that Alexa didn¡¯t even think of him. Terrence didn¡¯t want to think about it too much. When he heard her subconsciously say ¡°go home¡±. the coldness in his deep eyes instantly faded away, and lie felt better. ¡°Let¡¯s go home then,¡± Terrence smiled. When they arrived, Jason was awake. Seeing them, Jason was in a good mood and hepletely forgot the pain in his body. When Alexa and Terrence returned, it was hot. A thinyer of sweat appeared on Alexa¡¯s back. ¡°There is an excellent doctor nearby. I will take you to see him tonight.¡± Alexa was stunned, but she still agreed. Terrence had been caring about her, and if she always refused him, it would seem like she had a guilty conscience. ¡°I¡¯ll go take a shower first,¡± Alexa said. Terrence did not leave the room but sat down on the sofa in the room. He was a person who was swift and decisive in everything, but he liked to wait for her. Whether Alexa was putting on makeup or eating, waiting for her during this process was a kind of pastime. Terrence wondered if it was normal. But they were just a ¡°partner couple¡±. How could they have feelings for each other? After a while, Edwin called to report that the news online had beenpletely dealt with. At that time, Alexa came out after changing her clothes. Terrence walked in from the balcony and handed her phone over. ¡°Is there no problem?¡± Alexa asked doubtfully. Terrence nodded slightly and replied, ¡°Everything has been dealt with.¡± Alexa couldn¡¯t wait to turn on the phone. She thought she would miss some important messages, but she didn¡¯t expect that there would be no message or a phone call. That was so frustrating, She put her phone into her bag with a little disappointment Terrence watched from the side and happened to notice a suspicious document. ¡°What is that?¡± Terrence suddenly asked. ¡°What?¡± ¡°What is that document in your bag?¡± Shit! It was the divorce agreement that she did not have time to give him that day. Should she give it to him now? Alexa was stunned for a moment, feeling hesitant. ¡°Is it a document from thepany?¡± Terrence asked. Alexa was not good at lying, so seeing her strange and stiff look, Terrence knew that she was hiding something from him. She did not answer for a long time, so Terrence personally took Alexa¡¯s handbag and took out thie document. It was indeed the divorce agreement. He had expected it, and he did not know how he should react at the moment. Alexa froze, unable to say a word. Terrence wore a gloomy face and sneered. There was anger, ridicule, and even more coldness in the smile. The atmosphere in the room was quiet, and only the sound of pages turning was heard. She didn¡¯t ask for a single cent in the 16 pages of content, and she even directly stated that she would get nothing. Terrence exuded a terrifying aura, staring at the divorce agreement quietly. He nced at the date, which showed that it was printed two days ago. What was he doing two days ago? At that time, he was worried that she would be bullied after taking charge of the Duran family, and he even personally taught her the experience and methods he had umted. However, what Alexa thought was to leave him as soon as possible. ¡°You were too busy these days, so I didn¡¯t give it to you.¡± After Alexa finished, Terrence red at her and then tore the agreement into pieces. ¡°Give me a reasonable exnation after wee back.¡± Chapter 76 Chapter 76 Chapter 76 Refuse to Let Go Terrence did not understand low lie had let lier down. He did not use Brynlee as an excuse to drive lier away. As long as the marriage had not ended, Terrence was urging himself to seriously fulfill the obligations of a husband every second. However, Alexa was so cold, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not get into her heart. On the way to the clinic, both of them were silent. Alexa looked at him many times and wanted to talk to him, but when she saw Terrence¡¯s cold face, she immediately stopped. She just wanted to fulfill his wish of being with Brynlee as soon as possible, but why was Terrence so angry? Was it because she stained their rtionship? Alexa was puzzled and she felt extremely tired. Terrence was so hard to get along with. After arriving at the clinic, Terrence introduced her to an old doctor and then ignored her. ¡°Please have a seat. My name is Cyrus Maxwell, and I am the doctor of this clinic.¡± The old man stroked his beard and said cheerfully, ¡°Let me check you first.¡± ¡°Doctor Maxwell, I feel good,¡± Alexa tried to exin. ¡°I understand. Mr. Ramsey has already told me about your condition. Your body is weak, and it¡¯s easy for you to catch a cold, right?¡± Cyrus asked as he gazed at her. ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa nodded and said frankly, ¡°Usually, there are doctors to treat me. Now, I¡¯m still taking Inedicine and it works.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Cyrus nodded and checked Alexa carefully. A momentter, he frowned slightly. ¡°Do you often feel that your heart and lungs are weak? And you usually feel flustered and short of breath, right?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Cyrus crossed his hands for a moment. In the end, he wrote down a prescription with a serious face. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, please take the medicine ording to this list in the next forty-nine days, and then we will see the effect.¡± This prescription contained three types of ingredients, including ginseng, storesin, and lily. When Alexa came out with three packs of medicinal ingredients, Terrence was a little surprised. He looked straight at the prescription in Alexa¡¯s hand for a while, and finally said nothing and took the lead to get in the car. ¡°My heart is born to be weak. Doctor Maxwell said it was because of the heart.¡± Terrence was originally angry because of the divorce agreement. When he heard Alexa¡¯s words, he instantly calmed down and even slowed down the car. And the anger on his face disappeared, though he was still wearing a poker face. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me before?¡± Terrence was finally willing to speak. ¡°My parents took me to see a doctor before, but there was no serious reaction at home.¡± So did she mean that it deteriorated after she came to the Ramsey¡¯s house? But he immediately threw away the thought that Alexa was ming him. ¡°I will contact Davidter and ask him to arrange for the best professional doctor.¡± ¡°No need. It¡¯s not that serious,¡± Alexa immediately exined, ¡°Besides, Dr. Maxwell should be quite excellent. Let¡¯s see the effect first.¡± ¡°The heart problem is not a small matter,¡± Terrence replied seriously, ¡°You should be serious about your health.¡± Alexa tugged at her sleeves, not daring to tell Terrence that she was not just having a heart problem. In fact, there were not many normal ces on her body¡­ ¡°You should take some time to recover before going to work.¡± ¡°No My body isn¡¯t so delicate,¡±Alexa said firmly. ¡°What¡¯s so good about working? Can¡¯t you just enjoy the holiday?¡± Alexa smiled with her eyes lit up. ¡°Because you gave such a high sry. No boss is more generous than you.¡± Hearing her ttery, Terrence did not feel the slightest bit of disrust. Instead, there was a bit of a sinile on his face. ¡°T¡¯ll give you everything you want.¡± ¡°I want to work.¡± It seemed that she was much more quick-witted. ¡°Alright.¡± ¡®Terrence nodded. ¡°If you want to work, then go.¡± After returning to the room, they found that the pieces of paper that Terrence had just torn had been swept away, and the room was tidy as if nothing had happened. However, Terrence did not skip the matter. Instead, he sat on the sofa and looked at her calmly. Alexa sat by the bed with a guilty conscience and put on a bold expression. ¡°Alright, what do you want me to say?¡± Terrence leaned back against the sofa and crossed his legs leisurely. ¡°Tell me why you want to give me this agreement.¡± He didn¡¯t even want to mention the word ¡°divorce¡±, and every time he mentioned it, he felt upset for no reason. ¡°I just want to settle the matter between us. Don¡¯t you want to get married to Brynlee? You can¡¯t just postpone it.¡± Alexa said softly, feeling that she was so kind and warm. She didn¡¯t care if she would bebeled as ¡°Terrence¡¯s ex-wife,¡± but cared about whether he was happy. But she didn¡¯t need to be so ¡°generous ¡°What do you mean?¡± Terrence suppressed the emotions in his heart for the first time and asked with a faint smile, ¡°Have you already arranged a way out? Where can you go after leaving the Ramsey family?¡± ¡°There must be a ce for me to stay in the world.¡± Alexa finished with expectation, but Terrence sneered. ¡°An unrealistic fantasy thinker.¡± ¡°When you deal with these thinys, you can talk to me,¡± Terrence said coldly, ¡°It doesn¡¯t mean that you have nothing to do with me after the divorce. Do you understand?¡± When it came to the topic of ¡°divorce¡±, this was the first time that he had been so gentle. Terrence¡¯s request had always been changing, but there had never been a time that Alexa could achieve it easily. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. What she could do was leave without taking anything, but Terrence would never let her off so casily. Terrence also felt that he was quite strange. In the beginning, it was he who proposed the divorce. When Alexa agreed, he refused to let go. It was probably because he was used to her existence at home that he felt pain in his heart when she suddenly wanted to leave. ¡°I¡¯ll ask the maid to prepare the medicine. Wait a minute.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Their conversation ended. Alexa leaned on the bed and yed with her phone casually. There had been a lot more entertainment news these days, and she subconsciously felt that it was about Terrence. But when she searched for more details, even the names of Terrence and Brynlee did not appear. Suddenly, Alexa received a message from Brynlee. ¡°Is Terrence with you?¡± ¡°Please ask him to call me back.¡± Alexa frowned slightly when she saw it. Did Terrence and Brynlee have a conflict? ¡°Contact him yourself,¡± Alexa replied indifferently. But Brynlee¡¯s attitude was surprisingly polite, and she didn¡¯t even fly into a rage out of humiliation or curse Alexa. ¡°Please ask Terrence to give me a call. Thank you.¡± Chapter 77 Chapter 77 Chapter 77 Even Sadness Is Unreasonable Alexa instinctively disliked Brynlee and no longer paid attention to her. It didn¡¯t take long for Terrence to bring in the medicine. Alexa quietly looked at his face, attempting to see a clue. Did hee over so frequently because he quarreled with Brynlee? ¡°Why are you looking at me?¡± Terrence and Alexa exchanged a look. Alexa immediately sat up and attentively scooped up the medicine, put the scoop to her mouth, and blew it. Alexa pretended to say casually, ¡°By the way, Brynlee contacted me just now.¡± ¡°She contacted you?¡± Terrence¡¯s mood did not change, but a cold light shed through his eyes. ¡°Why did she contact you?¡± he asked. Alexa immediately felt a little ufortable. Terrence was so nervous. Was hie afraid that she had said something to Brynlee? ¡°We didn¡¯t say much,¡± Alexa said, ¡°She asked you to call her back.¡± ¡°Got it.¡± The vignce in Terrence¡¯s eyes immediately faded. He stood up and walked to the balcony. Alexa looked at his back and immediately stopped taking the medicine. Alexa thought, Terrence cares about Brynlee, so why did he refuse to divorce me? He says one thing and does the other. This only makes everyone very tired. Alexa silentlyined in her heart for a while. The medicine was very bitter, but it was sour in her mouth. He stood on the balcony holding his phone for a long time, and Alexa could even guess how happy his expression was. Terrence warned Brynlee without any emotion. When he entered the room again, Alexa¡¯s medicine was still in the bowl. ¡°The medicine is getting cold,¡± Terrence said, ¡°I¡¯ll heat it.¡± Terrence had just bent down to pick up the bowl of medicine when Alexa sobbed, and tears kept falling from her eyes. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Terrence frowned slightly. What was there to say? Even her sadness was unreasonable. The bitterness in Alexa¡¯s heart surged like a tide. She sadly bit her lip and said in a choked voice, ¡°Because¡­ the medicine is too bitter, I can¡¯t bear it.¡± ¡°Is it that bitter?¡± Terrence asked. ¡°Then I¡¯ll have the servant prepare some sweet fruit. Don¡¯t cry.¡± ¡°Hmmm¡­¡± Alexa only heard thest two words and desperately pulled tissues to dry her tears, forcefully holding them back and not daring to make any more sounds. Terrence came in again with the medicine bowl and fruit. Alexa seemed to havepletely calmed down. ¡°If you have anything to say, just tell me,¡± Terrence said gently, ¡°Don¡¯t be angryor cry.¡± After returning from the clinic, Terrence had always been very obedient to hier. Alexa could even confidently tell herself that Terrence could be so gentle to her. ¡°Sorry to trouble you,¡± she said politely. Terrence lowered his eyes and did not say anything else. Meanwhile, the Walton family was restless. Brynlee made a scene in the living room and smashed things crazily until she was exhausted. ¡°Brynlee, stop messing around. If your fatheres back and sees¡­¡± Emely said in fear. Yet Brynlee picked up a vase and threw it over. The vase broke at Emely¡¯s feet. ¡°How could Terrence say something like that to me?¡± Brynlee screamed sharply. ¡°He said that I shouldn¡¯t force him to divorce. It sounds like I¡¯m a homewrecker. It was our family who saved Hearing this, Emely averted her gaze and immediately sent the servants away, ¡°Brynlee, that¡¯s enough!¡± Emely said sternly with a straisht face. It¡¯s normal for you to have some conflicts. Don¡¯t mention that.¡± ¡°Why can¡¯t I mention it? I just want him to remember my kindness to him. Otherwise, the women outside would have stolen him.¡± ¡°A noble family like the Ramsey family values good manners and virtues. Look at yourself. How can Terrence like you?¡± ¡°How can you me me? It¡¯s all your fault for making me angry every day!¡± Brynlee gritted her teeth in anger. ¡°Even the Duran family, a family that is not worth mentioning, can have a rtionship with the Ramsey family, and what have you done for me?¡± ¡°Brynlee!¡± Gavyn suddenly roared at the door, and the living room immediately fell silent. Emely stood weakly at the side, not daring to make a sound. Brynlee, on the other hand, red at Gavyn with a livid face and looked away with contempt. Gavyn stepped on the mess on the ground, aggressively stepped forward, and fiercely pped Brynlee. Both Emely and Brynlee screamed at the same time. Emely immediately stepped forward to stop Gavyn. This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . ¡°Gavyn, if you have something to say, just say it. Why did you have to hit Emely?¡± Gavyn snorted and cursed in a bad mood. ¡°How did I raise such an idiot like you?¡± ¡°Dad¡­ What did you say?¡± Brynlee covered her face and stared at Gavyn with hatred, her voice trembling with anger. ¡°Last time, you bullied Alexa. In the end, thepany got in big trouble.¡± ¡°Did it have anything to do with me? Alexa is just a bitch. Is she qualified to cause trouble for you?¡± Brynlee sneered. Gavyn could not bear it anymore and raised his hand again. Emely stopped the two of them, crying ¡°Brynlee, don¡¯t anger your father.¡± Gavyn¡¯s face was livid, and he was extremely angry. ¡°Do you know that Terrence was behind the scenes?¡± What? Brynlee froze, unable to believe what she had heard. Gavyn had already spent all of his patience on Brynlec. He coldly ordered, ¡°From today onwards, you are not allowed to contact the Ramsey family. Stay at home and reflect on your behavior.¡± The Walton family¡¯s situation calmed down slightly, and at that moment, Alexa was already packing up her things and preparing to return to Duckdale Vi. Terrence had been leaning against the wall behind her, staring at her thoughtfully. Perhaps he was afraid that there was something hidden in her bag. After Alexa packed up the clothes she had brought over, the phone in her pocket suddenly rang. Seeing the caller ID, Alexa went to the balcony without a change of expression like Terrence. ¡°Dr. Powell?¡± ¡°Ms. Duran.¡± Hearing Kieran¡¯s extremely serious voice, Alexa instantly felt strange. ¡°You can call me Alexa.¡± ¡°Okay, Alexa.¡± What a serious elite doctor! ¡°It has been getting colder recently. I changed some prescriptions. Can youe to the hospital tomorrow?¡± ¡°Sure, thank you.¡± ¡°There is one more thing. Let¡¯s talk about it in detail tomorrow.¡± Kieran¡¯s tone didn¡¯t change, but Alexa was a little flustered. It was inconvenient to say on the phone, so it must be very important. However, her body might not be able to withstand the possible bad things. Alexa stood in the cold wind for a while, and then her lungs ached again. She immediately gathered her clothes and turned into the room, As for Terrence, he was standing quietly beliind her at that moment. Chapter 78 Chapter 78 Chapter 78 How Can You Be So Heartless? Alexa was shocked, but Terrence did not say anytliing and directly turned into the room. The suitcase on the ground, lowever, was neatly packed. ¡°What else do you need? Put them in the suitcase yourself.¡± Terrence sat back on the sofa, waiting for her unhurriedly. Alexa pretended to be calm as she packed her things, but her mind was wandering. How much had Terrence heard of her conversation with Kieran? Alexa quietly paid attention to his movements, but Terrence just sat on the sofa, quietly turning the pages. Alexa thought, forget it. It¡¯s better not to exin it. Alexa finished packing up and went to Rebekah to say goodbye to her. Alexa had just left the room when Terrence got up and hastily followed her. Feeling that Terrence was following behind, Alexa deliberately slowed down until Terrence stepped forward. They walked side by side. ¡°Where are you going?¡± Terrence asked indifferently. ¡°I¡¯m going to say goodbye to your parents.¡± ¡°Me too.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go together,¡± Alexa said with a smile. There was a shallow dimple near her lips, and her expression was lively. ¡°OK¡± Terrence nodded slightly and secretly got closer to her. Alexa had just taken a bath, and she had a light rose fragrance that was elegant and pure. It smelt like roses in the silver moonlight, They quietly walked side by side, not making conversation, but the atmosphere was very harmonious. Alexa was about to speak when the phone in her pocket rang again Alexa originally thought that it was Brynlee who was callin and was about to hand it directly to Terrence, but the moment Alexa saw the note on the phone, she immediately stopped. Seeing her quickly hang up the phone, Terrence looked puzzled. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why didn¡¯t you answer?¡± ¡°It¡¯s just advertising.¡± Alexa¡¯s calm voice was slightly stiff. She was silently praying that the person would not call again. However, the other party was very persistent. Not long after, another call came in. ¡°No¡­¡± Alexa was quickly thinking of an excuse, but Terrence ignored her and directly snatched the phone away. She stood in front of Terrence, unable to say a word. The note was ¡°BD¡±, which was the abbreviation of a name. Terrence¡¯s name in Alexa¡¯s address book was ¡°Terrence Ramsey¡±, but this person¡¯s name was an abbreviation. She must be trying to hide something. Terrence thought, how important is that person to her? She even keeps it a secret. Terrence¡¯s memory was extraordinary, and he immediately guessed the full name of that person. ¡°Brenton Darrell.¡± There was no doubt in his tone. He was sure that this was the right answer. Alexa lowered her head, her voice low. ¡°Yes.¡± Terrence¡¯s face instantly darkened, and he picked up the phone in front of her with cold eyes. However, Terrence took two steps away with the phone and did not put Brenton on speaker in front of Alexa. Without waiting for Terrence to speak, the other party could not wait to speak. ¡°Alexa, why didn¡¯t you answer my call? Don¡¯t you miss me at all?¡± Brenton said, his voice extremely gentle. ¡°I have already dealt with the branchpany¡¯s business. I will be returning soon.¡± Alter Brenton said this, Terrence¡¯s expression was even more stly, and he emitted a scary aura that was sufficient to devour everything ¡°Alexa, why are you silent? I¡¯ll continue chasing you after I return, okay? This time, you must ept my proposal. ¡°I know that you are in some trouble now, but I have already asked someone to solve it. No one will dare to speak ill of you anymore. ¡°Alexa, please understand that I will always love you unconditionally.¡± As if he had heard a huge joke, Terrence let out a mockingugh. Alexa was inexplicably flustered, and she heard Terrence speak from a distance. ¡°Mr. Darrell, you don¡¯t care about your reputation anymore.¡± Brenton did not feel surprised when he heard Terrence¡¯s voice. Instead, a hint of hostility crept into Brenton¡¯s tone, ¡°It¡¯s you,¡± Brenton said nonchntly. ¡°You¡¯re with Alexa?¡± Hearing Brenton mention Alexa so intimately, Terrence was even more furious. ¡°I am her husband, and it is only natural for me to be with her,¡± Terrence sneered and retorted in a high and mighty manner. ¡°Mr. Darrell, what are you trying to do by harassing my wife so shamelessly?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not interested in talking to you, and we have nothing to talk about,¡± Brenton said sarcastically. ¡°This is a matter between me and Alexa. I don¡¯t need an outsider like you to intervene.¡± ¡°Why do you think I¡¯m the one answering the call?¡± The two of them tried their best to hurt each other, and they quarreled on the phone. Alexapletely believed that if they were sitting face-to-face now, they would have already started fighting ¡°Now, stop arguing.¡± Alexa grabbed Terrence¡¯s sleeve in a fawning manner. Brenton heard Alexa¡¯s voice on the other side of the line, and lie instantly became excited. Terrence deliberately did not hang up the phone and looked at Alexa with a sneer. ¡°If you beg me, I can consider sparing him.¡± ¡°Terrence, you bastard! Come at me. Don¡¯t hurt her!¡± The more hysterical Brenton became, the more pleased Terrence felt. ¡°Your old lover cares a lot about you.¡± Terrence cruelly conveyed Brenton¡¯s feelings to Alexa, but she couldn¡¯t even force a smile. Alexa stood in front of him with a pale face. Terrence ruthlessly wrapped his arm around her waist, forcing lier into his arms. Terrence hadpletely lost his mind. Although Alexa was afraid in her heart, Brenton liad helped the Duran family before, so Alexa had to plead for Brenton. ¡°I beg you. Please let him go.¡± She showed her weakness as Terrence wished, but Terrence became more furious. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. She dared to do something so stupid for Brenton. Terrence angrily smashed her phone to the side, his eyes bloodshot. Alexa¡¯s tears were swirling in her eyes, but she held them back. Her pitiful look had angered Terrence as if Alexa had suffered greatly by staying by his side. ¡°When have I ever been bad to you?¡± Terrence pinched her chin, his eyes icy. ¡°Calm down. Let go of me first.¡± ¡°What do you value?¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes were cold, but his fingers tenderly lingered on her cheeks. ¡°Alexa, how can you be so heartless?¡± Alexa¡¯s heart ached, but Terrence had no patience to listen to her answer. He directly grabbed her wrist and took her back to the room. The door had just closed, and Alexa had not turned on the light. In the dark room, Terrence¡¯s kiss of punishment suddenlynded on Alexa. Chapter 79 Chapter 79 Chapter 79 He Suddenly Regrets It Alexa was unable to resist and could only passively endure his anger. Terrence¡¯s hand left one mark after another on her waist. Alexa was in pain and cried out in a trembling voice. ¡°It hurts!¡± Terrence suddenly came back to his senses, and the strength in his hands disappeared in an instant. Alexa copsed in his arms, breathing heavily without rhythm. The fragrance from her was sweet, lingering around him like honey. Terrence raised his hand to caress Alexa¡¯s long thick hair, his gaze intense and calm. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to, I will stop.¡± His voice was low and deep, full of charm. Terrence¡¯s situation was no better than hers. At that moment, he was quietly adjusting his disordered breathing. But Alexa stuck to him, which made him burn with desire. Her pale little face was covered with sweat. A few strands of hair were clinging to her face. She looked so attractive that he uncontrobly wanted to caress her. Terrence was facing such a temptation at the moment, but he did not dare to do anything. He was angry, but he didn¡¯t lose his mind. Alexa silently leaned in his arms for a while with mixed feelings. Having sex was not an absolute joy to her but an attempt full of panic and fear. Terrence was terrifying just now, and she had not regained herposure yet. ¡°I don¡¯t want to¡­¡± Alexa¡¯s voice was soft and low, and there was even some fear in it. ¡°Terrence, I don¡¯t want to do that.¡± As he heard her voice, the light in Terrence¡¯s eyes faded, and he immediately released her. There was a distance between the two of them, and they each straightened their clothes, not saying a word. The anger in Terrence¡¯s eyes alsopletely disappeared. As if he had suffered a blow, his eyes turned gloomny. ¡°I will find a driver. When you are done,e to the gate.¡± ¡®OK !! Their tones were extremely normal as if nothing had happened just now. After Terrence left, Alexa found another set of clothes. The clothes she was wearing were ravaged beyond recognition by Terrence. When Alexa took off her clothes, her entire waist and back burned with pain, and her skin was filled with red marks. Terrence was crazy! Alexa held back her tears and cursed Terrence. She immediately changed her clothes and went out to find her phone. Terrence was already sitting in the car. Seeing Alexae out, he subconsciously leaned to the side, but he did not expect that she would walk to the garden. Terrence pursed his lips and immediately opened the door to get out. Alexa followed the original path and soon found her cell phone. Unfortunately, Terrence was too ruthless just now. Her cell phone waspletely shattered, and the screen was broken into pieces. When Terrence came over, Alexa was squatting on the ground, quietly assembling her phone. The parts had already been smashed to pieces. No matter how she assembled it, this phone could no longer be used. Terrence suddenly regretted it. ¡°Stop picking them up,¡± Terrence said as if he were coaxing a child. ¡°I¡¯ll buy you another one.¡± Alexa acted as if she had not heard Terrence and continued working on her phone. Terrence opened his mouth again and subconsciously wanted to order her. But he suddenly thought of what Cyrus had said, and Terrence¡¯s attitude immediately softened again. ¡°Alexa, did you hear that? Stop picking them up.¡± ¡°My phone was broken because of its poor quality. I don¡¯t need you topensate me.¡± Alexa¡¯s tone was very calm, but when Terrence heard this, he felt it was sarcastic. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. She was ming him in her heart. Terrence understood it ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to bring a new one.¡± ¡°No need, I have a lot of important data on this phone.¡± Alexa used an old smartphone. Once the SDcard was lost, the data couldn¡¯t be restored. ¡°If I let Edwin restore it, there won¡¯t be any probleins.¡± ¡°No need. I¡­¡± ¡°Alexa.¡± Terrence seemed to be running out of patience, and his attitude became a little tough. ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± Alexa raised her head to look at Terrence with pure eyes. Terrence suddenly found it hard to vent his anger, feeling very upset. Without saying anything, he squatted and picked up the broken parts of the phone. Half an hourter, they found the extremely small SD card in the grass. Alexaughed, putting it away carefully. Terrence¡¯s face did not soften at all as he got into the car. His assistant was very efficient. After Alexa got in the car, Terrence took out a new mobile phone. Then he picked up a high-endptop. ¡°Give me the SD card,¡± Terrence said concisely. Alexa obediently handed it over. Terrence took it, looking like he had vented all his anger on them. He tapped hard on the keyboard. He couldn¡¯t understand why she had insisted on wasting time on a broken phone. It was such a simple matter. But Terrence only said that in his heart and did not directly say it to her. He was a fearless person, and now he was afraid that Alexa was going to quarrel with him again. In less than five minutes, Terrence transferred the data that Alexa needed to her new phone. However, it couldn¡¯t be said that all the data was transferred. Terrence liad deleted all the information about Brenton. Terrence handed the phone to Alexa, She politely said, ¡°How much is it? I¡¯ll pay you.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you know that one has topensate for the damage he caused?¡± Terrence apologized in an unusual way. Alexa Was stunned for a while before she understood Terrence¡¯s words. ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to thank me,¡± Terrence said stiffly. ¡°Why did you thank me?¡± It was impossible tomunicate with him smoothly. After Alexa put the phone into her bag, she sat up straight and stopped talking to him. She habitually turned to look at the night scene outside the window while Terrence boldly tilted his head and stared straight at her. Could it be that Alexa had nothing to say to him? Terrence pulled his cor, silently trying to make his presence felt. The good thing was that Alexa finally noticed him. She turned around with a puzzled look. ¡°Are you hot?¡± ¡°No,¡± Terrence said coldly. ¡°If you¡¯re hot, turn off the heater. I¡¯m not cold.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t feel hot.¡± ¡°How about I open the window for you?¡± Terrence frowned and emphasized, ¡°Alexa, I¡¯m not hot.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not cold,¡± Alexa said stubbornly. ¡°Are you really OK?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± he answered firmly. ¡°You must be very cold. Don¡¯t be stubborn.¡± It was a very boring topic, but the two of them chatted until they reached home. However, an uninvited guest was standing at the gate. Chapter 80 Chapter 80 Chapter 80 Then I Will Move Out Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. Why did someone have to block the door at night? There must be something very important. Alexa¡¯s eyes dimmed, but she stubbornly got closer to Terrence. Seeing Terrence, Brynlee immediately threw the two suitcases she had brought with her, crying and throwing herself into Terrence¡¯s arms. ¡°Terrence, save me. You must save me!¡± ¡°What happened?¡± Terrence asked with a serious expression. After seeing the suitcases behind Brynlee, he was even more certain of his guess. ¡°My dad locked me at home,¡± Brynlee sobbed. ¡°He didn¡¯t let me go out and even said that he wanted me to marry a rich businessman. Terrence, I was so scared, so I found a chance to escape.¡± Alexa looked at the two suitcases that Brynlee had brought with her. Alexa couldn¡¯t believe that Brynlee had escaped with great difficulty. Brynlee looked like she had moved here. ¡°Did he really do that?¡± ¡°Yes. I don¡¯t agree. He even pped me.¡± As Brynlee spoke, she turned her face. There was indeed a palm print that could not be covered by makeup on her fair face. After all, after being together for so many years, Terrence had special feelings for Brynlee. His heart softened as he reached out to touch the palm print on her face, his eyes filled with distress. ¡°I¡¯ll talk to him.¡± Terrence did not have a good opinion of Brynlee¡¯s parents, but for her sake, he had to be polite to them. Since Terrence would help her, Brynlee¡¯s mood was much better, and she no longer feared Gavyn¡¯s threats. Now, all Brynlee needed to do was confirm her rtionship with ¡®Terrence in front of the media. Thinking of this, Brynlee pitifully shook Terrence¡¯s arm. ¡°Terrence, before the malter is settled, can you let me stay at your house for the time being! I¡¯m very afraid of other ces.¡± As she spoke, Brynlee was about to cry again. Terrence wanted to agree, but Alexa spoke first. ¡°You want to live here?¡± Alexa¡¯s gaze was cold and hostile. ¡°Terrence, can¡¯t?¡± Terrence didn¡¯t immediately reply. Instead, he subconsciously looked at Alexa. He seemed to be asking for the opinion of his wife. Alexa exchanged a look with him and then looked away without changing her expression. It was as if as long as Alexa refused, Brynlee would be immediately driven away. Alexa took two steps aside and took her suitcase from the servant. Terrence saw a faint smile on Alexa¡¯s face. And then Alexa pointed at Brynlee and said slowly. ¡°If she wants to live here, then I will move out for the time being.¡± Alexa paused. She then added with a smile, ¡°Of course, I may note back forever.¡± ¡°Alexa, I know you haven¡¯t forgiven me, but I will behave myself and not appear in front of you.¡± Hearing this, Alexa smiled politely, her eyes full of irony. ¡°You don¡¯t need to appear in front of me. Your scent is already enough to disgust me.¡± ¡°Alexa¡­¡± Terrence frowned slightly and seemed to be dissatisfied with Alexa¡¯s attitude. ¡°I won¡¯t disturb you two. I will move out now.¡± With that, Alexa pulled out her suitcase and walked past them in a carefree manner. Brynlee curled her lips proudly and weakly hid in Terrence¡¯s arms as if she had been deeply hurt. ¡°Terrence, I¡¯m so cold.¡± Hearing Brynlee¡¯s weak voice, Terrence retracted his gaze from Alexa and brought retract into the house with a calm face. Alexa walked to the bus stop near the vi area and subconsciously looked behind her. Sure enough, Terrence did not chase after her. But it was normal. He was probably busyforting Brynlee right now. Alexa immediately dispelled the disappointment in her heart, got a taxi, and found a hotel to stay The weather in New York was changeable, and it didn¡¯t take long for the night rain to fall. The cold wind carried the raindrops and hit the window. Alexa hid in the quilt, and her heart ached. She was not used to unfamiliar ces, and the rain was too heavy, which made her even more upset. After tossing and turning for an hour, Alexa was still not sleepy. In the early morning, she finally couldn¡¯t bear it anymore. Alexa swallowed the pills and drank a ss of warm water. She pressed her chest and quietly sat for a while. At that moment, there was suddenly a knock on the door. Alexa looked over with a pale face. The damp air squeezed in through the cracks of the window, like a ghost. She became afraid for no reason. ¡°Who is it?¡± Alexa asked warily. There was no sound of knocking for a long while. And then someone whispered at the door, ¡°It is me.¡± Alexa immediately recognized this low and mellow voice. The frightened look on her face disappeared, but soon, her face turned cold. ¡°If you want to talk, we can talk tomorrow. I need to rest.¡± ¡°Alexa, open the door first.¡± ¡°No, Mr. Ramsey. Please go back.¡± Hearing her words, Terrence, who was outside the door, was stunned. Then he meticulously gave an ultimatum. ¡°If you don¡¯t open the door, I¡¯ll get someone to pry it open.¡± How could this person be so unreasonable? He wanted to bring Brynlee home. Alexa didn¡¯t have any objections, and she even moved out. Now Terrence came to pester ber. What exactly did he want? Alexa was extremely ufortable in her heart, but she still got out of bed and opened the door. Terrence couldn¡¯t wait to push the door open, and the next second, he locked the door. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Alexa asked in a panic. Terrence lowered his head. When he saw her bare feet, he immediately picked up Alexa with a serious expression and ced her on the bed. Alexa immediately pulled over the quilt and wrapped herself in it, guarding against him. ¡°Don¡¯t touch me,¡± she said word by word, her eyes full of alienation. Terrence¡¯s gaze was calm as he crouched beside her bed. ¡°Go back with ine.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to.¡± Alexa refused. Terrence was not in a hurry. He said patiently, ¡°It¡¯s not safe for you to live outside alone.¡± Hearing this, Alexaughed in a low voice. ¡°Do you want to live outside with me?¡± ¡°As long as you want to, it¡¯s not impossible.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Alexa lowered her eyes. ¡°I can¡¯t afford it. Please go back, Mr. Ramsey.¡± Hearing her say this, Terrence was not angry at all. Instead, his lips curved into a smile. Every time Alexa was angry with him, she would call him Mr. Ramsey. Terrence did not feel distant. Instead, he felt that she was flirting with him. As Alexa saw his smile, her expression became even colder. ¡°What are youughing at?¡± ¡°I¡¯mughing at you.¡± Alexa did not find it fun at all. She sincerely hoped that Terrence would quickly disappear from her sight. ¡°It¡¯s not impossible to change a ce to live asionally,¡± Terrence said as he got up and approached her. ¡°But living in such a ce is uneptable.¡± After saying that, he skillfully bent down to pick up Alexa and walked to the door. ¡°Let go of me!¡± Alexa pped his arm and struggled violently. Chapter 81 Chapter 81 Chapter 81 Terrence Stays With Me Terrence opened the door, and the light immediately came in from the corridor. Alexa still refused to go with him, struggling. Terrence stopped at the door. He said, ¡°If you don¡¯t want to be seen by others, you¡¯d better hide well.¡± His threat was indeed very useful. Alexa thought about it for a moment and reluctantly stopped struggling. She buried her head in his arms. Terrence still had that pleasant fragrance, but Alexa was stubborn and refused to let him affect her mood. Not long after, Terrence carried her out of the elevator and walked to the most high-end presidential suite. ¡°I don¡¯t want to stay here. Let go of me.¡± Could it be that Terrence deliberately tricked her? She could go bankrupt if she stayed in this ce for a night. ¡°This hotel is owned by Hudson Group.¡± Terrence¡¯s words dispelled her worries. ¡°If you want to live outside, live here.¡± Terrence finished speaking and gently ced her on the bed. Alexa was like a cat that had been abandoned in a strange environment. She was full of vignce. against her surroundings. Terrence did not leave immediately. Instead, he took off his coat and hung it on the hanger. He didn¡¯t look like he was nning to leave. Alexa looked him up and down warily. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you leaving?¡± she asked with a frown. ¡°I¡¯m so tired. I want to take a break.¡± Terrence sat down, opened a bottle of wine, and slowly sipped it. Alexa was so angry with him that she was speechless. She hid on the bed without changing her posture. ¡°You should rest early,¡± Terrence said, ncing at her. ¡°I¡¯ll leave once you¡¯re asleep.¡± Given what had happened the previous few times, Alexa did not believe him at all. What if Terrence did something to her after she fell asleep? Alexa lowered her head in deep thought, not noticing that Terrence had already gotten up and walked toward her. Noticing the shadow in front of her, Alexa came out of her trance. Terrence raised his hand to pinch her face. The strength he used was neither small nor big, but Alexa could feel the warmth of his fingertips. Terrence leaned over and asked, ¡°What are you thinking about?¡± As she looked into his deep and quiet eyes, Alexa was almost obsessed with them. She immediately shifted her attention andy down. She pulled the quilt to cover her face, only revealing her eyes. ¡°I¡¯m going to sleep. Hurry up and leave.¡± Terrence curled the corners of his lips imperceptibly, turned around, and walked far away from her. He turned off the lights but habitually left a dim light on. Alexa felt the warm dim light and knew that he had not left yet. Terrence sat under themp and was still tasting the bottle of wine. Alexa could hear slight soundsing from the other side from time to time. The sounds of the bottle colliding with the goblet and the table were like pearls falling into a ss. The windows were made of top-quality sound-proof ss, but Alexa could still hear the faint sound of rain. The rain must be heavy. Would Terrence go backter? However, Alexa was already exhausted and did not have the energy to care about Terrence¡¯s ns. Alexa curled up in the quilt and soon fell asleep. The bottle of wine in front of Terrence was finished. He put down his ss and silently walked to Alexa¡¯s bedside. She hadpletely rxed. Her breathing was light. Her long eyshes quietly covered her cold eyes. Terrence had never been fascinated by someone like this. Terrence couldn¡¯t help but raise his hand. He gently touched her delicate features with the back of his hand that was not so rough. Finally, his hand stopped at the corner of her lips for a moment. Realizing that his thoughts had be wild, Terrence withdrew his hand as if he had got an electric shock. He quickly grabbed his coat and fled the room. Terrence always felt that Alexa had known him for more than three years. He knew that his thoughts were very crazy, but the feeling was very strong. After getting in the car, he did not return to Duckdale Vi. He asked the driver to drive to thepany. Brynlee called him more than a dozen times, but Terrence did not answer any of them. After a simple shower, he fell asleep in the lounge of the office. When Edwin brought Terrence clothes the next morning, he found that Alexa and Brynlee were both in Terrence¡¯s office. Seeing Edwin¡¯s expression, Alexa immediately knew that he must have misunderstood. Alexa came to the office to deliver the document, but she had not expected to meet Brynlee instead of Terrence.T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Not only that, Brynlee brought a delicate lunchbox, repeatedly emphasizing that she was there to deliver breakfast to Terrence. ¡°It must have rained heavilyst night. Alexa, did you have a good sleep?¡± Brynlee nced at Alexa arrogantly and puffed out her chest. ¡°Terrence stayed with me. Where did you sleep?¡± Alexa stood there with a cold face, ignoring Brynlee. ¡°Terrence is busy. He doesn¡¯t have time to talk to you right now. Come hereter,¡± Brynlee said with contempt. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but you don¡¯t have a say here,¡± Alexa said politely. In Alexa¡¯s heart, people like Brynlee were pitiful. To prove her value, Brynlee had only relied on bing Terrence¡¯s woman. Edwin couldn¡¯t stand it anymore and greeted them with a smile. When facing Alexa, Edwin became more respectful. He called Alexa Mrs. Ramsey meticulously. Feeling the difference in Edwin¡¯s attitudes toward them, Brynlee was very unhappy in her heart and red at him. However, Edwin did not care about her feelings at all. Instead, he walked to the door of the lounge. and knocked on the door respectfully. Not long after, the door opened, and Terrence appeared at the door in a robe. Alexa and Brynlee were both somewhat surprised. They had not expected Terrence to be here. Brynlee¡¯s face turned pale, looking funny. The words that Brynlee had just said in front of Alexa instantly became a joke. Seeing Alexa here, Terrence did not even change his clothes and directly walked up to her. ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± he asked in a serious tone. Seeing that Terrence was so concerned about Alexa, Brynlee, not to be outdone, immediately took the lunchbox and stuck to Terrence. ¡°Terrence, I made breakfast for you. Come and eat it. ¡°Let¡¯s talk about itter.¡± Terrence pushed Brynlee aside with a straight face and then looked at Alexa. Alexa did not waste any time. She directly handed over the document and concisely exined the matter. ¡°I see,¡± Terrence responded. He elegantly signed the document and handed it to her. Alexa took the document and saw Brynlee standing at the side, winking like a clown. The smile on Alexa¡¯s face became sarcastic. Alexa didn¡¯t say anything. Her calm gaze fell on Brynlee and then on Terrence before she nonchntly turned around and left with Edwin. After Alexa left, Brynlee finally attracted Terrence¡¯s attention. She used the same trick and clung to him, but the smile on Terrence¡¯s face faded. Chapter 82 Chapter 82 Chapter 82 Can¡¯t Just ept It ¡°Terrence, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Brynlee pouted. ¡°I¡¯m here to take care of you. Why are you unhappy?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not unhappy,¡± Terrence exined in a t tone and then asked, ¡°Haven¡¯t you been filming recently? You haven¡¯t been on the set for so long?¡± ¡°Terrence, I prefer to stay with you,¡± Brynlee said coquettishly. ¡°Besides, I was really worried that my dad would forcefully take me back.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll send some people to protect you. He won¡¯t dare do that.¡± ¡°Filming is very hard. I want to take a few days off.¡± ¡°Will the producer have any objections?¡± ¡°With you here, they don¡¯t dare object.¡± With that, Terrence also did not say anything more. He found an excuse to send Brynlee away and then began to work seriously. Terrence reluctantly took a bite of the breakfast that Brynlee had delivered and then made a call to let Alexa in. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, what¡¯s the matter?¡± After seeing Alexa, Terrence inexplicably rxed. ¡°Are you busy?¡± Terrence asked her with a smile. Alexa thought, people in love are indeed different. After seeing Brynlee, he is willing to smile. Alexaughed at herself in her heart. She ttered Terrence casually, ¡°Of course, the task you gave me is very important.¡± Terrence thought, it has only been a few days, and Alexa has already learned this. ¡°Please make me a cup of coffee.¡± ¡°Please wait a moment,¡± Alexa said. She then turned and went out. However, Terrence suddenly stopped her. ¡°Alexa.¡± ¡°Is there anything else, Mr. Ramsey?¡± Terrence looked at her. He asked confidentially, ¡°Have you had breakfast?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa answered crisply and a little impatiently. She hadn¡¯t seen the things in front of Terrence just now. Now Terrence asked this question out of the blue. He must be looking for a chance to ridicule her. Alexa was so busy today that she did not have the time to fawn over him. After making the coffee that Terrence wanted, Alexa hurriedly brought it to him. But this difficult man did not drink it. He directly pulled her to the conference room. In addition to Terrence, there were other senior leaders in thepany. Alexa followed him and nervously stayed away from him. But when she moved away, Terrence moved toward her. The distance between them was strangely short. He even turned his head and asked, ¡°Did you have a good sleepst night?¡± The smile on Alexa¡¯s face suddenly became weak. She could even feel that the atmosphere around her immediately became strange. The other leaders were shocked, but all of them silently shifted their gaze away as if they were deaf. Even so, Terrence maintained his previous posture, stubbornly waiting for her answer. Alexa wondered, is he crazy? She gritted her teeth. Alexa then said with a fake smile, ¡°Of course. After all, my sry has been paid.¡± ¡°Good.¡± Terrence nodded seriously and encouraged her. ¡°Keep working hard.¡± What did he mean by teasing her as if she were a pet? If Terrence had not always caused trouble for her, Alexa would have been happier. Alexa followed Terrence with a flushed face, feeling embarrassed. After the meeting, Terrence summoned her more frequently. Alexa spent the whole morning with him. What was worse, she was wearing high heels today.. Terrence found the abnormality in her heels. When he looked at the documents, he asked Alexa to sit on the sofa. Alexa was still thinking about work very seriously, but Terrence had already got up and taken the medicine box. Before she could figure out the situation, Terrence was squatting in front of her and grabbed her ankle. ¡°Ouch.¡± The wound on her heel was suddenly touched. Alexa gasped in pain. ¡°I¡¯ll deal with it myself.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Terrence raised his hand and threw her shoes into the trash can. ¡°Don¡¯t do that.¡± This pair of shoes were so beautiful and expensive. Although they chafed her heels, Alexa still cherished them so much that she rarely wore them. Terrence threw them just like that. He didn¡¯t cherish anything. Before Alexa could finish speaking, Terrence interrupted her. ¡°Since they don¡¯t fit, there is no need to keep them.¡± Her heels were rubbed to the point that blood flowed out, and when Alexa saw this, she sighed with annoyance. This was the price of beauty. Terrence skillfully helped her treat her wounds and put two Band-Aids on them. ¡°Wait a minute.¡± With that, Terrence got up and walked to the lounge. Not long after, he took out a new shoe box. Alexa looked at the low-key and luxurious logo. Without thinking, she knew how expensive this pair of shoes was. Terrence took out a pair of delicate champagne high heels with diamonds and personally helped her put them on. ¡°No, I can¡¯t wear them,¡± Alexa said anxiously and immediately reached out to take off the shoes. But Terrence caught her hands. He asked in confusion, ¡°Why? Do you not like this style?¡± Terrence did not tell Alexa that this pair of shoes was bought ording to her preferences. Furthermore, he had bought more than one pair of shoes for her. As long as he felt that the shoes were suitable for Alexa, he would buy them and put them away, only hoping that they would be useful one day. At that moment, Alexa was extremely hesitant. ¡°They are too expensive. I don¡¯t need to wear such expensive shoes. Others will think a lot.¡± ¡°Then you should openly admit that your husband bought them.¡± Terrence casually gave a solution, and then he said with a serious face, ¡°If you don¡¯t wear these shoes, should I wear them?¡± Hearing him say this, Alexa finally could not help butugh. The size of this pair of shoes was very suitable for her as if they were custom-made. Therefore, he couldn¡¯t prepare the shoes for Brynlee. But Alexa also did not believe that they were prepared by Terrence for her. Perhaps it was because he had dealt with countless women and umted experience. Alexa could not ept his gift, and she was immediately anxious to draw a clear line between them. But Terrence had already guessed what she wanted to say.

Was Terrence already beginning to openly mock her? ¡°Yes, I know.¡± Alexa became more determined. ¡°But I will persist until I repay all the money.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Terrence said very supportively. ¡°I look forward to the day you be a director.¡± It was a kind sentence. How did Terrence make it so strange when he said it? Alexa curled her lips slightly and left thoughtfully. At noon, Alexa went to the hospital. Terrence was busy, but he wrote a recipe and had people make lunch and deliver it to Alexa. But Alexa was not in her office. Terrence sat in her seat with the documents and worked while waiting for her toe back. Chapter 83 Chapter 83 Chapter 83 Kieran Has Never Had a Girlfriend At that moment, Alexa was on the bus and did not know that Terrence was still waiting for her. Alexa didn¡¯t eat any food as she thought Kieran would ask her to undergo a medical checkup. After arriving at the hospital with a hungry stomach, Alexa unexpectedly saw ra, the second. daughter of the Powell Family, outside Kieran¡¯s office. ra had noticed Alexa seconds ago. Therefore, ra took Alexa¡¯s arm closely as soon as Alexa walked to her. ¡°Alexa, are you looking for my brother? He¡¯s in the office right now.¡± ra smiled sweetly. ¡°Hi, Ms. Powell. What a coincidence.¡± ¡°I¡¯m free today, so I came to have a meal with my brother.¡± At the same time, ra opened the door of Kieran¡¯s office for Alexa. ¡°Kieran, Alexa is here.¡± ¡°Hello, Dr. Powell.¡± Alexa greeted Kieran with a smile. ¡°Ms. Duran¡­¡± A secondter, Kieran realized that he had addressed Alexa too formally and immediately changed his words. ¡°Alexa, can I call you like this?¡± Kieran¡¯s tone is full of doubt, in stark contrast to his elitist image. ¡°Sure.¡± Alexa wore a wider smile. ¡°OK. Let¡¯s talk about thetest situation.¡± Kieran said as he took out her medical records. Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. ¡°First of all, it¡¯s about your heart. Based on the specialist consultation, the treatment rate of medicine is not high.¡± After listening to Kieran, Alexa instantly tightened her hands on her legs. Kieran pushed up his sses and continued. ¡°The treatment n we put forward is a heart transnt. I¡¯ve already applied for it. And we¡¯ll find a suitable heart source soon.¡± Alexa said in her mind, heart transnt¡­ That sounds so bad. Alexa¡¯s thoughts were in a whirl, and she did not know where to start for a moment. ¡°Dr. Powell, what is the sess rate of the operation?¡± Alexa asked, already preparing to entrust her life to someone else. Kieran looked serious and said in a low voice. ¡°It¡¯s probably less than 50.¡± Hearing those words was a devastating moment for Alexa. Alexa thought that death would surelye to her after getting the answer from Kieran, such a top doctor. ¡°Dr. Powell, let me think about it.¡± ¡°If you¡¯re OK with it, we n to schedule the operation in two months, and I suggest you family about it as soon as possible.¡± After some appointments with Alexa recently, Kieran was full of admiration and sympathy for her, a young and strongdy. tell your Alexa suffered from illness and kept it a secret from her family and friends. However, she still had great courage and vitality. Alexa might be the most extraordinary patient Kieran had encountered since he had been a doctor for many years. ¡°Dr. Powell, I¡¯ve had pain in my waist recently. Can you prescribe me some painkillers?¡± After those words, Alexa immediately felt pain in her waist, which also caused a stomachache to her. Alexa even covered her mouth and had a retch in front of Kieran. ¡°Sorry¡­¡± Alexa didn¡¯t forget to be polite even though she felt ufortable. Seeing the situation, Kieran immediately poured Alexa a ss of warm water and reached out to pat her back to alleviate her pain. Alexa took a sip of the warm water and felt the sickness slowly fade away. Kieran rubbed the acupuncture points on Alexa¡¯s hand with warm fingertips and handed her a tube of glucose. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Dr. Powell.¡± Alexa forced out a voice with a pale face. ¡°Sorry for the trouble I gave you.¡¯ ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± After collecting her breath, Alexa slowly got up with the help of Kieran. It seemed that Alexa had broken her bones because she could barely stand. Seeing Alexa and Kieran walk out of the office together, ra immediately came toward them. ¡°Alexa, you didn¡¯t have lunch, right? Come with us for a meal!¡± After saying that, ra turned her head and gave Kieran a wink, waiting for his response. ¡°Yes.¡± Kieran nodded lightly with a soft light in his eyes under his sses. Alexa had no appetite. However, recalling how ill-mannered she had been in front of Kieran, she immediately said. ¡°Thank you both. I¡¯ll pay for the meal.¡± The three chatted as they left the hospital and went to a western restaurant that ra liked. Alexa nervously calcted the price every time the waiter served a dish. However, Kieran had paid for the meal before Alexa went to pay the bill. The bill was 5,000 dors. Alexa took a lot of nerve to transfer the money for the meal to Kieran. Kieran left his meal unfinished because he had to return to the hospital for an operation. ra had been ustomed to a situation like that. And she whispered to Alexa. ¡°My brother is always busy with work and has no time to date a girl. He¡¯s 28 years old this year. And he has never had a girlfriend.¡± ¡°Mr. Powell is such an outstanding gentleman. It¡¯s not a big matter to him.¡± ¡°Maybe not.¡± ra joked with a gaze at Alexa purposefully. ¡°But my brother is indeed a warm-hearted man. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have helped solve your trouble a few days ago.¡± ¡°What?¡± Alexa asked doubtfully and couldn¡¯t understand what ra was saying. ¡°My brother was worried that public opinion would have a negative impact on you when it was at its peak, so he suppressed the news overnight.¡± Alexa put down the tableware dully, a mixture of emotions spreading over her face. Does Ms. Powell mean that Dr. Powell helped me without me knowing it? Alexa thought. ra said sincerely, ¡°My brother didn¡¯t allow me to tell you about it. But I¡¯m afraid you might think too much, so I decided to tell you. Although my brother always looks gentle, he doesn¡¯t often solve problems for others.¡± Alexa did not understand what ra meant. Alexa only remembered that she had been living at the mountain vi a few days ago. In addition, Terrence had taken Alexa¡¯s phone away, so she couldn¡¯t have any contact with the outside world. Alexa became in her trance but still couldn¡¯t have a clue about ra¡¯s words. ¡°Alexa, let me send you back.¡± ¡°No, thanks. I¡¯ll take a taxi,¡± Alexa replied absent-mindedly. ¡°Don¡¯t treat me like a stranger. You can regard me as your sister!¡± ra held Alexa quickly. ra was a born socializer, and her enthusiasm even overwhelmed Alexa. ¡°OK. Anyway, thank you, Ms. Powell.¡± ra asked the driver to drive Kieran¡¯s favorite Porsche. Driving a luxurious car on the street could make many pedestrians jealous. Furthermore, ra even parked the car at the gate of Hudson Group! ¡°Alexa, we¡¯re here.¡± ra looked out curiously. ¡°Our office building is as prominent as this one. You can learn about it if you¡¯re interested in ourpany.¡± ra was tantly poaching talents. However, Alexa didn¡¯t care about ra¡¯s words. Through the window, Alexa saw Terrenceing over aggressively. Terrence was alone. However, he had a powerful aura as if he were bringing a troop. At the same time, ra also noticed Terrence. She smiled peacefully and then opened the car door to get out of the car with Alexa. Seeing Alexa get out of the Porsche, Terrence instantly became sulky. And the rage in his eyes soon reached a critical point. Terrence immediately pulled Alexa over and held her firmly in his arms. Meanwhile, Terrence was not worried that others would watch them. Terrence was possessive and prevented Alexa from getting along with anyone else. ra was standing in front of Terrence generously and smiled sweetly. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, it¡¯s been a long time.¡± Chapter 84 Chapter 84 Chapter 84 Mr. Ramsey Let Me Stay With You Terrence was not friendly to ra because of her rtionship with Kieran. There was a coldness gleaming in Terrence¡¯s eyes when he nced at ra with hostility. ra did not care about his attitude. Instead, she looked at Alexa with a smile. ¡°Alexa, I¡¯m so happy about the lunch with you today. See you next time.¡± ¡°Thank you, Ms. Powell. Goodbye,¡± Alexa said sincerely. ¡°How much did you spend, Ms. Powell? I¡¯ll give you the money now,¡± Terrence said. After hearing Terrence¡¯s words, Alexa instantly felt embarrassed. ra was not affected by Terrence¡¯s words at all. Instead, she straightened her back. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, money cannot always talk. Goodbye, Alexa. See you next time.¡± ra waved at Alexa after those words. ¡°Goodbye, Ms. Powell.¡± ra drove the eye-catching Porsche away in the envious sights of others. While Terrence was not paying attention, Alexa immediately struggled out of his arms and quickly turned to leave. Terrence followed her with a cold expression, like a moving iceberg. ¡°Why were you with ra?¡± Terrence asked. Hearing Terrence¡¯s cold voice, Alexa replied without turning her head. ¡°I happened to meet her, so we had a meal together.¡± ¡°Do you have a good rtionship with her?¡± ¡°Not bad.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Alexa became impatient about Terrence¡¯s endless questions. Terrence questioned Alexa as if he were interrogating a criminal, making Alexa feel a little repulsed. ¡°No reason,¡± Alexa replied coldly and quickened her pace. Alexa pressed the button of the staff elevator. Terrence followed Alexa closely and pressed the VIP-exclusive elevator next to the staff elevator. Terrence turned his body to block the door of the staff elevator and ordered. ¡°Come here.¡± Alexa nced at Terrence and stood further away instead. ¡°No, no. Thank you, Mr. Ramsey,¡± Alexa said. In Alexa¡¯s opinion, it was dangerous that Terrence had hugged her at the gate of thepany. minutes ago. Therefore, she couldn¡¯t take the elevator with Terrence. After all, Alexa didn¡¯t want her colleagues to doubt her rtionship with Terrence. Terrence didn¡¯t waste any time talking to Alexa. The next second, he quickly reached out and grabbed Alexa¡¯s wrist. ¡°Hurry up,¡± Terrence urged. Alexa looked around timidly. As they had a stand-off for quite a long time, the elevator door made an abrupt and ear-piercing rm. Alexa was immediately frightened out of her wits. At the same time, Terrence took Alexa into the elevator adroitly and unhurriedly. The elevator doors finally closed. Alexa was standing behind Terrence like a dumbbell. Terrence turned his back to Alexa and asked without rhyme or reason. ¡°Are you full?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± After Alexa finished speaking, Terrence said with a bit of loneliness. ¡°I haven¡¯t had lunch yet.¡± Alexa didn¡¯t echo butined in her mind, why did you tell me that? What can I do? Could it be that you want me to feed you? And I remember that Brynlee prepared breakfast for you. Didn¡¯t she make lunch for you? Suddenly, what ra had said a few moments ago popped into Alexa¡¯s head. Alexa thought, ra said there was some public opinion about me. Moreover, Kieran has solved the problem for me. I guess Terrence already knew the story. But Terrence didn¡¯t mention anything rted to that at all. Alexa bit her lower lip and asked tentatively. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. ¡°Was there any news about me on the Inte a few days ago?¡± Alexa had mentally prepared for what Terrence would say. After all, Alexa believed the news was nothing more than something about the Duran family. Terrence¡¯s vibe, however, went cold for a moment, as if Alexa had offended him. ¡°I don¡¯t know. Why are you suddenly talking about such a strange thing? Did someone say something bad to you?¡± he asked in a cold and suffocating tone. Get Horus ¡°No,¡± Alexa immediately denied, ¡°Ms. Walton appears in public more frequently. I¡¯m worried that the media will make an issue of it.¡± ¡°No. They don¡¯t dare to,¡± Terrence said firmly as if he strongly defended Brynlee. ¡°OK.¡± Alexa immediately stopped the topic. Alexa didn¡¯t want to irritate Terrence as she talked about Brynlee. After returning to her office, Alexa saw the food on the table. The food had gone cold and looked untouched. Alexa thought, did Mina ask someone to bring me the food? Thinking Terrence hadn¡¯t had lunch, Alexa heated the food with a microwave and sent it to Terrence. Meanwhile, Terrence sat down on a chair and was about to ask Edwin to order lunch for him when Alexa entered his office. She considerately ced the dishes on the table one by one and said in a ttering voice. ¡°You didn¡¯t have lunch. I have some dishes, and I¡¯ve heated them.¡± Terrence silently moved the corner of his mouth, picking up a fork to taste the fish. However, Terrence had heated dishes many times. Therefore, the vor was greatly diminished as Alexa had heated them again minutes ago. Terrence didn¡¯t mind at all. Instead, he silently ate up all the food. Unexpectedly, Terrence would ept such a charity on an asion like that. ¡°Let me clean it up,¡± Alexa volunteered. Terrence, however, did not agree. Instead, he changed the topic. ¡°Tell me why were you with ra?¡± Alexa had to get her meal with ra over to Terrence again. Therefore, Alexa repeated what she had said to Terrence. Nevertheless, Terrence did not believe a word from Alexa. ¡°Alexa, do you think you can easily fool me?¡± Terrence stared at Alexa with his sharp eye as if he could see through her. ¡°Kieran is never a gentleman. And how could his sister be gorgeous?¡± Alexa felt annoyed because of Terrence¡¯s words. Terrence was always full of hostility towards Kieran, which also bothered Alexa sometimes. Alexa understood Terrence refused to believe her. Meanwhile, Alexa pursed her lips, looking at Terrence calmly. ¡°I just need a friend.¡± ¡°A friend?¡± Terrence widened his eyes a bit. ¡°I just need a friend to talk with.¡± ¡°I understand.¡± Terrence frowned slightly and nodded thoughtfully. Alexa wasn¡¯t sure whether Terrence could understand what she meant and then left his office half-heartedly. After work, Alexa went to the hotel as usual. However, Alexa saw a tall figure when she reached the door of the room in the hotel. ¡°Carissa!¡± Alexa shouted in delight and trotted to the woman. Carissa took off her sunsses and opened her arms to Alexa. Alexa threw herself into Carissa¡¯s arms and believed what was happening was real. ¡°How did you know I was here?¡± ¡°Your Mr. Ramsey asked me toe here.¡± Carissa touched her hair. ¡°He said it was not safe for you to live outside alone and let me stay with you.¡± ¡°Terrence is too reckless. How could he shamelessly bother you?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t want to reply to him. But I cared about you, so I came to you by ne as quickly as possible.¡± ¡°Come in. I¡¯ll order someone to serve dinner now.¡± Carissa followed behind Alexa and entered the room. After looking around, Carissa could not help frowning. ¡°Alexa, why are you living in such a bad room? Did you quarrel with Terrence?¡± ¡°No, we didn¡¯t. It¡¯s because Brynlee is living in Terrence¡¯s house,¡± Alexa exined. After hearing Alexa¡¯s answer, Carissa instantly looked at Alexa with a grimace. Chapter 85 Chapter 85 Chapter 85 Aren¡¯t You a Home Wrecker Now? ¡°Alexa, what did you say?¡± Carissa screamed and put her hands on her hips angrily. ¡°Were you kicked out by that mistress?¡± Carissa was so angry that she wanted to rush to Brynlee and teach her a lesson right now! ¡°No, no.¡± Alexaughed embarrassedly and held Carissa¡¯s hand. ¡°I move out, because I don¡¯t want to see her.¡± Carissa cursed them angrily, ¡°How can that be? What will others think of you? Terrence is not even a man. He is simply a scumbag!¡± ¡°Carissa, Carissa, don¡¯t be angry. I don¡¯t care so much.¡± ¡°If I knew that the Ramsey family made you suffer so much, I wouldn¡¯t have been so polite to Terrence.¡± ¡°What they do is their business. I just need to live a good life.¡± Alexa was busy in thepany today and took the lead to the bathroom. Carissa sat quietly on the sofa and told Maeve everything that had happened. Maeve was currently running a famous entertainmentpany. When she heard that Brynlee and Terrence were bullying Alexa, she became furious and mmed the table. ¡°I heard that Brynlee took on the role of a famous director. Since she wants to be famous, let¡¯s help her out,¡± Maeve sneered. At this moment, Brynlee was shopping in a luxury store. Just as she handed the ck card Terrence gave her to the shop assistant, the producer called her. ¡°Mr. Bailey, how have you been?¡± Brynlee asked coquettishly. Gerardo Bailey didn¡¯t bother to greet her and directly said. ¡°Ms. Walton, ording to the investor¡¯s request, we decided to change the role you y.¡± Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Brynlee¡¯s expression suddenly changed, instantly bing aggressive. ¡°Am I not the heroine?¡± ¡°You haven¡¯te to the crew for such a long time. Your shooting progress has already been dyed a lot¡­¡± ¡°Stop talking to me about that!¡± Brynlee said arrogantly, ¡°If it weren¡¯t for me, how could people know this drama? The investors don¡¯t even understand it. Who asked you to change me?¡± ¡°It¡¯s¡­ it¡¯s Aelview Entertainment.¡± Gerardo¡¯s tone changed, and he said a little fawningly, ¡°The internal information I heard is that you have offended someone. If there is anything I can help you. with, I will definitely help you.¡± ¡°Stop being so funny,¡± Brynlee asked in disdain, ¡°What did I do wrong to make Mr. Atley angry?¡± The rtionship between Brynlee and Terrence was well known and she went smoothly in showbiz. Brynlee did not expect that someone dared to provoke her. However, Jaron Atley¡¯s Aelview Entertainment was one of the toppanies in showbiz. As long as Jaron wanted to support someone, he or she would be famous sooner orter. While Brynlee was thinking with a gloomy face, the assistant beside her suddenly came up and said. ¡°Ms. Walton, I remember that Jaron¡¯s daughter, Maeve Atley, is in charge of Aelview Entertainment now.¡± Maeve Atley? Brynlee immediately remembered. Wasn¡¯t Maeve very close to Alexa? Brynlee thought, sure enough, Alexa pretends to be good on the surface, but secretly urges people to target me! I can¡¯t deal with Maeve, but can¡¯t I ask trouble for Alexa? ¡°Check where Alexa is right now. I¡¯ll go find her right now!¡± At this time, Alexa was enjoying a peaceful and harmonious candlelight dinner with Carissa. ¡°Alexa, how long do you n to stay here? You can¡¯t live here all the time, right?¡± Carissa asked doubtfully. ¡°Yes, when I divorce him, I¡¯ll move away.¡± Such an important thing, but Alexa said it in a very calm tone. Carissa felt heartbroken. ¡°You must let him make it up to you. You wasted three years of youth on him. How many three years does a girl have?¡± ¡°Even without him, I can still live well,¡± Alexa said confidently, ¡°Life is still very beautiful.¡± ¡°When you are divorced, I will do my best to retaliate against them with you. This pair of scum will not have a good ending!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, the doorbell rang. Carissa raised her voice and shouted. ¡°Who is it?¡± The person outside the door did not respond, and Alexa put down her fork. ¡°I¡¯ll go take a look.¡± Does Terrencee again? She guessed in her heart and opened the door. The person outside the door took the opportunity to push the door open. Alexa was caught off guard and was hit by the door. Her head instantly felt dizzy and painful. But the person outside then grabbed Alexa¡¯s hair and spared no effort to p her. Alexa¡¯s face instantly swelled up in pain. Hearing that crisp sound, Carissa, who was in the house, roared and immediately rushed over. Alexa staggered back a few steps, and the back of her waist mmed into the corner of the table, instantly hurting so much that she felt as if she could not breathe. ¡°Alexa, you dare to scheme against me? Are you tired of living?¡± Brynlee roared crazily and then began to scream. Carissa directly grabbed her hair and returned two ps to Brynlee. ¡°How dare you hit her! Ah? How dare you!¡± ¡°You bitch, don¡¯t touch me!¡± ¡°It seems that you really don¡¯t know about your position!¡± Carissa red at Brynlee and sneered, ¡°I heard that your role has been changed. Are you going to act as a home wrecker? Tsk. Then need to act. Aren¡¯t you a home wrecker now?¡± you don¡¯t ¡°Bitch! Bitch!¡± Brynlee was furious, crazily hitting and scolding Carissa. When the assistants behind her saw this, they stepped forward to help her. Even though Carissa had practiced fighting skills, it was difficult for her to fight against several people. They quickly took advantage. Alexa wiped her face with her blurred vision. It was sticky and her hand was red. When she heard the noiseing from the door, Alexa immediately picked up the wine bottle on the table and rushed over in a distraught manner. After she threw the bottle, a dull shattering sound rang out, and the noise stopped abruptly. A few secondster, Brynlee¡¯s assistants all screamed. ¡°Ms. Walton! Ms. Walton!¡± ¡°Hurry up and call the ambnce!¡± Alexa did not know what was happening in front of her. Her consciousness was getting more and more blurred, and even her breathing was heavy. She suddenly fell straight backward. ¡°Alexa!¡± An hourter, at the hospital. Alexa woke up again and saw the white environment. Suddenly, she felt as if it had been a long time. Her nose was filled with the smell of disinfectant, and her head was still dizzy and painful. Alexa raised her hand and touched it. Her head was wrapped in thick bandages. ¡°Alexa, Alexa, you finally woke up.¡± Carissa immediately rushed to her bedside and asked with concern, ¡°Are you thirsty? I¡¯ll get you a ss of water.¡± ¡°Carissa¡­¡± Alexa said with a husky voice and found that Carissa also had a band-aid on her face. ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°The doctor said you¡¯re fine. It¡¯s just a small injury.¡± Carissa helped her up and said softly, ¡°I called Terrence. He should be here soon.¡± Chapter 86 Chapter 86 Chapter 86 Has He Ever Been on Her Side? Speak of the devil. Just as Carissa finished speaking, someone pushed open the door and entered the ward. Terrence wore a dark blue suit, and his temperament looked cold. Even the eyes he looked at Alexa were cold. ¡°It¡¯s really rare for Mr. Ramsey toe here.¡± Carissa¡¯s impression of Terrence was extremely bad. ¡°Your mistress injured Alexa to such an extent, but Mr. Ramsey didn¡¯t let here and apologize?¡± Carissa asked. Terrence nced at the bandage on Alexa¡¯s forehead and nced at Carissa with his dark eyes. ¡°Get out.¡± ¡°What right do you have to order me? Alexa may listen to you, but I won¡¯t.¡± Carissa¡¯s tone became more and more excited, and Terrence¡¯s face became colder and colder. Alexa was anxious, and she pressed down on the back of Carissa¡¯s hand. Carissa looked at her and immediately understood what Alexa meant. ¡°Alexa, if he dares to bully you, call me in immediately.¡± Terrence stood at the side like an iceberg, his eyes gradually turning cold. The moment Carissa closed the door, he immediately made a move. Alexa had just turned around when Terrence leaned down and pinched her chin. ¡°Bully you?¡± He pondered over these two words and asked curiously, ¡°What is considered bullying you? Like this?¡± After Terrence finished speaking, he leaned closer and bit her delicate lips. ¡°Is it?¡± He lowered his head and buried it in her neck. Everywhere he touched, there was a red mark. Alexa¡¯s hand was cold, and even her face was pale. Even though Terrence kissed her, Alexa could still feel that he was extremely angry. The warmth and itchiness on her neck were instantly removed. Terrence stood in front of her and tidied his clothes. His expression was as indifferent as ice. It was as if he had never known her. Alexa expressionlessly raised her hand to pull at her loose clothes and silently buttoned up the loose buttons. She propped her hands on the bed and looked up at him like an abandoned cat waiting for its master to pamper her. ¡°Brynlee¡¯s condition is much more serious than yours. She almost hurt her eyes, not to mention that she is a star.¡± ¡°She was the one who hit Carissa. She even asked the others to attack Carissa together.¡± ¡°Even so, you can¡¯t hurt her like this,¡± Terrence said coldly and mercilessly, ¡°This time, I can¡¯t be on your side. Alexa, you¡¯ve gone too far.¡± On her side? Alexa smiled silently, her eyes full of tears. When had Terrence been on her side? Had it ever happened once? Alexa lowered her head, not letting Terrence see the look on her face. ¡°Sorry.¡± Hearing it, Terrence lowered his head in surprise, simply unable to believe that this was something Alexa could say. ¡°You shouldn¡¯t have said it to me. You should apologize to Brynlee.¡± ¡°OK.¡± Alexa immediately agreed. There was a bright smile on her face as she raised her head. Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. Terrence did not think she was happy. Alexa¡¯s hidden emotions were as dark as a storm. Carissa and Alexa followed him to Brynlee¡¯s ward. Alexa immediately saw the bandage wrap around Brynlee¡¯s head. Brynlee¡¯s injury looked simr to Alexa¡¯s. Alexa gently stroked her hair and the wound on her forehead was still hurting. When Brynlee saw Alexa and Carissa, Brynlee immediately became excited. She picked up the thing at hand and threw it to Alexa without caring about her image. Terrence immediately stepped forward and protected Brynlee in his arms, gentlyforting her. Brynlee grabbed his arm and wailed. She sobbed. ¡°Terrence, I don¡¯t want to see them. Hurry and chase them out!¡± Carissa stood in front of Alexa and red at Brynlee with a gloomy face. ¡°What are you doing? Do you think we want toe here?¡± Seeing the situation be tense again, Terrence secretly gave Alexa a look. Alexa bitterly understood what he meant. She quietly walked in front of Carissa and bowed respectfully to Brynlee. ¡°Sorry, I should not have hurt you.¡± Brynlee did not want to ept her apology at all and continued to cry. She just made a scene in Terrence¡¯s arms. ¡°Terrence, the doctor said it will leave a scar. What should I do? I don¡¯t want to be disfigured. This is not something an apology can solve!¡± ¡°I will contact the best stic surgeon. I won¡¯t let you leave a scar.¡± Terrence really loved Brynlee. He would even personally arrange such a small matter for Brynlee. Alexa¡¯s delicate neck seemed to have been gently touched by an electric current and she began to itch again. The warmth of Terrence¡¯s thin lips seemed to still linger on her neck. ¡°You hit me, and now want to ruin my face? Do you want to ruin my life?¡± Brynlee roared emotionally. If Terrence had not been present, she would have jumped off the bed and torn Alexa to pieces right now! ¡°Don¡¯t push your luck.¡± Carissa grabbed Alexa and nced at Brynlee with a strong temper. ¡°By the way, let the doctor make you a face. Everyone has a face. Why don¡¯t you have it?¡± ¡°Ms. Barrell, watch your words.¡± Terrence spoke word by word. His tone was full of threat, and his face was as cold as ice. ¡°You asked me to stay with Alexa. Alexa was bullied. Can¡¯t I retaliate?¡± Carissa was extremely angry as she scolded Terrence without any fear, ¡°You are really apetent husband. No one can do better than you.¡± ¡°Husband? Make it clear. Terrence is my fianc¨¦!¡± Brynlee bared her teeth and red at Carissa, clenching her fists. Seeing that Brynlee was going to quarrel with them again, Terrence nced at Alexa and Carissa irritably. ¡°You go back now.¡± Carissa immediately grabbed Alexa¡¯s hand and took her away without hesitation. Before Carissa went out, she cursed. ¡°Damn it!¡± Half an hourter, the ward quieted down again. Brynlee fell weakly into Terrence¡¯s arms, her heart filled with the joy of victory. She didn¡¯t believe that Terrence still couldn¡¯t see Alexa¡¯s true face even in this situation! However, Terrence silently let go of her and stood in front of the hospital bed slightly alienated. ¡°Terrence?¡± ¡°What exactly happened? Was it really Alexa who took the initiative to hit you?¡± Terrence asked. ¡°Terrence, I know I was a little agitated just now.¡± Brynlee grabbed his hand in panic. ¡°But¡­ but how can you not believe me?¡± ¡°If I didn¡¯t believe you, why would I let her apologize to you?¡± After Terrence finished speaking, he slowly pushed her hand away. ¡°I still have something to deal with. I wille to see youter.¡± ¡°Terrence, Terrence!¡± Terrence pushed the door open and walked out. He thought of the red mark on Alexa¡¯s face. But when he walked to Alexa¡¯s ward, it was empty. Terrence immediately nced at the bodyguard at the door and asked with a displeased expression. ¡°Where is she?¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Mrs. Ramsey has left with Ms. Barrell.¡± Left? Terrence immediately panicked. Chapter 87 Chapter 87 Chapter 87 I Save the Duran Family ¡°Hurry up and send someone to chase them!¡± With that, Terrence personally drove to Carissa¡¯s apartment. At this time, Carissa had already helped Alexa clean a room and said enthusiastically. ¡°Alexa, you can stay as long as you want in my house.¡± ¡°Thank you, Carissa. I may be staying for a few days, but I will pay you the rent.¡± ¡°What are you saying? We¡¯re friends. You don¡¯t have to be so polite.¡± Carissa frowned. ¡°Carissa, thank you.¡± ¡°Alright, it¡¯s gettingte. Go get some rest.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa changed into a set of pajamas when she was in the room that Carissa had prepared for her. Not long after lying down, Terrence called. ¡°Is there anything else?¡± Alexa spoke in a business-like manner, her tone full of exhaustion. ¡°I know you are at Carissa¡¯s house. Go downstairs immediately. I¡¯m waiting for you downstairs.¡± Hearing Terrence¡¯s words, Alexa instantly became awake. She hid by the window and nced out. Sure enough, many bodyguards were standing downstairs, and Terrence was standing at the front. No one could ignore his domineering aura. It was exactly the same as the time in the hospital. Besides panic, Alexa also felt nervous. It didn¡¯t matter how Terrence tortured her, but would he do something to Carissa? ¡°Go back. I have already rested.¡± ¡°How can you live in another¡¯s home? You have your home.¡± Terrence¡¯s words were like a sharp de stabbing straight at her, hurting her heart badly. Where was the home he was talking about? Duckdale Vi? The household in the household register was clearly his name, and now Brynlee had naturally moved in. There was no ce for her to stay. ¡°I just want to stay for one night. I will find another ce to stay tomorrow.¡± 174 Hearing Alexa say such words, Terrence was furious. What did she mean by this? Leaving Duckdale Vi forever? ¡°Alexa, don¡¯t challenge my patience. If you don¡¯te down, I will immediately bring people up.¡± Alexa sighed heavily and finallypromised. ¡°I see.¡± She went downstairs to make things clear to Terrence. Alexa left in a hurry and only put on a coat before rushing out. Terrence saw her clothes and immediately dismissed the bodyguards around him and opened the car door for her. ¡°Get in the car.¡± Alexa saw this and hurriedly said. ¡°I won¡¯t go with you.¡± ¡°You won¡¯t go with me?¡± Terrence narrowed his eyes, and his gaze instantly became cold. ¡°Looks like you still don¡¯t understand what I¡¯m saying. Don¡¯t tell me you still don¡¯t know the consequences of making me angry?¡± Terrence said slowly, his tone bing more and more dangerous. Alexa¡¯s hands were cold, and she was vignt as she took a step back. ¡°Not to mention Carissa, even Kieran, as long as I want, he¡¯ll be like you three years ago, disappearing.¡± Hearing Terrence personally say such words, Alexa panicked and froze for a moment, and then she was so angry that her whole body was trembling slightly. ¡°What did you say?¡± Alexa¡¯s voice was as light as a gust of wind. ¡°Why do you say something like that? Do you think it¡¯s fun?¡± Seeing her angry expression, Terrence restrained himself and tried to suppress his emotions. ¡°Then listen to me and don¡¯t make me angry. Understand?¡± When Terrence finished speaking, Alexa suddenly raised her head. Her eyes were slightly red, but her big eyes were mixed with anger and disappointment. ¡°I am not your pet. If you want an obedient woman, don¡¯te to me. I can¡¯t do it!¡± Hearing her words, Terrence sneered. ¡°So what? I was the one who saved the Duran family. How much is your stubbornness worth?¡± Yes, he¡¯s right. That¡¯s the truth. Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. Alexa suddenly smiled bitterly, and her skinny face was full of tears. Just because Terrence protected the empty shell of the Duran family, she could never raise her head in front of him and always had to obey hismands. Because he bought this marriage with money. The remaining warmth in Alexa¡¯s heart disappearedpletely. She looked at him with a pale face and said word by word. ¡°I¡¯ll go with you. I beg you to let them go.¡± Terrence had his back on her and couldn¡¯t say a word. He suddenly regretted it, and his heart became cold and painful. After Alexa got in the car, Terrence silently took off his coat and put it on her, and then turned the heater to the warmest level. Even though the warm flow wasing at her, Alexa did not feel any signs of warmth. ¡°I¡¯ve already asked Brynlee to go back. No one will disturb you.¡± Terrence¡¯s attitude softened, and he seemed to be begging for peace. However, Alexa kept turning her head to look out the window, her gaze never stopping on him for a moment. ¡°You don¡¯t have to go to thepany tomorrow. You can go after you recover.¡± Alexa still did not speak. Terrence shut his mouth and did not speak either. Even though he was the powerful one, when Alexa was angry, he had no idea what to do. He didn¡¯t know what to say about Carissa. The reason he had found Carissa was to make Alexa happy, but now it had turned into a terrible situation. Before long, the car stopped at the entrance of Duckdale Vi. Alexa endured the pain in her waist and walked in. Terrence followed Alexa all the way to her room. Even though she had not returned for the past two days, her room was still neat and clean, without a trace of clutter. ¡°Only a few servants came in. Other than them, no one else came in.¡± ¡°Thank you, Mr. Ramsey,¡± Alexa said in a very alienated manner. Terrence¡¯s heart suddenly felt a stabbing pain, as if it had been pricked by something. Then, Alexa turned around and ced a hand on the door. ¡°I¡¯m going to sleep. Isn¡¯t Mr. Ramsey leaving?¡± It seemed that as long as he wanted toe in, Alexa wouldn¡¯t have any resistance at all. Terrence¡¯s eyes shed and he immediately left. ¡°Then you can go to bed now.¡± Alexa did not seem to listen to him at all. As soon as he finished speaking, she closed the door with a ¡°bang¡±. Terrence¡¯s eyes were covered with ayer of gloom. He was not sleepy at all and drove to Aron¡¯s ce in frustration. Knowing that he was there, Aron immediately climbed out of bed and went to the door. Looking at the clock, it was already two in the morning. Terrence was like a child who had run away from home, sitting alone. No one knew about his intentions. Aron thought about it and felt that he should contact his ¡°parents¡± immediately. ¡°Terrence.¡± Aron rubbed his hands and greeted him with a smile, ¡°It¡¯ste at night. Do you have any important task for me?¡± ¡°I was hated by her. What do you think I should do?¡± Terrence said in detail as if he was asking a doctor. Chapter 88 Chapter 88 Chapter 88 She Doesn¡¯t Care About Me When Aron heard this, he almost lost his cool. Aron thought, so Terrence asked me here to give him some suggestions on rtionships? Aron cleared his throat and said enigmatically. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, it¡¯s no use asking me about such things.¡± Terrence¡¯s deep gaze quietly rested on Aron, and Aron could not help but shiver. ¡°It is not good for an outsider like me to interfere in the affairs between you two.¡± Aron exined in detail, ¡°Besides, there is no real conflict between couples. Just make everything clear to each other.¡± ¡°How am I going to make it clear to Alexa?¡± Terrence continued to ask, ¡°She doesn¡¯t want to talk to me at all.¡± Aron scratched his head and then asked. ¡°Then why did you two quarrel?¡± ¡°No, we didn¡¯t quarrel.¡± Terrence paused for a moment and went on, ¡°I don¡¯t think Alexa cares about me.¡± ¡°What?¡± Hearing what Terrence said, Aron was instantly choked by the wine in his mouth. Aron thought, there must be something wrong with the wine, or why am I dreaming? How could Terrence say something like that? However, Terrence did not feel anything wrong. He asked again with a serious expression. ¡°What do you think I should do?¡± ¡°You want Alexa to care about you?¡± Aron asked. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Then why don¡¯t you do something romantic and then be gentler? That will definitely work.¡± Aron said casually, ¡°Then, try to touch the depths of Alexa¡¯s soul.¡± Terrence nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that he had grasped the key points. Then he got up and directly left. Aron took a sip and suddenly realized that something was wrong. Terrence¡­ Why did Terrence suddenly fall for Alexa? Aron thought. The next morning, Alexa woke up early in the morning and called Tiana to ask for sick leave. Then, Alexa called Carissa and said she would go over to pack her things up. Alexa simply dressed up and went downstairs. Hearing there was some crackling in the kitchen, Alexa turned to see and found that it was Terrence. Alexa was stunned and immediately looked away, but Terrence looked up and saw her. ¡°Where are you going?¡± Terrence asked. Alexa walked to the door and said indifferently. ¡°I¡¯m going out.¡± Terrence got the fruit ready and then brought the sandwiches to the table. Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. ¡°Come and have some breakfast. Don¡¯t eat outside.¡± Terrence was like a serious and nagging parent, serving Alexa a bowl of porridge as he spoke. Seeing that Alexa was still standing at the door, Terrence reached out and tapped the table. ¡°Come here.¡± ¡°OK.¡± Alexa sat down obediently at the table. The breakfast prepared by Terrence was very sumptuous, and there were five or six dishes. Terrence sat to the side and carefully peeled a soft-boiled egg and ced it on Alexa¡¯s te. ¡°Where are you going?¡± Alexa did not eat the egg Terrence had peeled and only took a small sip of the hot porridge. ¡°I am going to get my things at Carissa¡¯s ce,¡± Alexa replied. ¡°I¡¯ll send someone to get it. You can stay at home.¡± ¡°No, thanks.¡± Alexa rejected coldly, ¡°I don¡¯t like people touching my things.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Terrence then said, ¡°I¡¯ll send you there.¡± Alexa shook her head, picked up the napkin, and wiped her mouth. ¡°No, I¡¯ll take the subway.¡± After that, Alexa got up and walked to the door, without looking back. Terrence looked at the bowl and te before Alexa and found there was a lot of porridge left, and she didn¡¯t eat anything else. Mina, who was standing aside, asked with concern. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, do I need to get you some porridge?¡± ¡°No need.¡± With that, Terrence brought Alexa¡¯s te over. When Alexa arrived at Carissa¡¯s ce, the door was wide open, and there were several tall and strong men in ck standing outside. Carissa blocked the door and made a big fuss not to let those guys in. Alexa hurried over, and the few people immediately bowed respectfully when they saw her. ¡°Good morning, Mrs. Ramsey!¡± ¡°Carissa, don¡¯t be afraid. These guys should have been sent by Terrence.¡± ¡°Alexa, why did you leavest night? I was so worried!¡± Carissa immediately grabbed Alexa¡¯s hand and carefully looked at Alexa. ¡°You didn¡¯t get hurt, right?¡± Alexa shook her head and did not want Carissa to continue worrying about her. ¡°Terrence just took me back and didn¡¯t do anything to me,¡± Alexa said. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to go back with Terrence, why don¡¯t you stay at my house? I will never let him take you away!¡± ¡°Thank you, Carissa. You have done a lot for me. I don¡¯t even know how to repay you.¡± With that, Alexa went into the house with Carissa. Carissa was a carefree person, but when Carissa saw Alexa packing her things, Carissa was actually silently shedding tears aside. ¡°Carissa¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m really worried about you, Alexa.¡± Carissa said bluntly, ¡°Terrence is really not a good guy.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about me. Take care of yourself.¡± Alexa hugged Carissa gently and said softly, ¡°I will divorce Terrence soon, and I will be free then.¡± Carissa hugged Alexa tightly and said with indignation. ¡°You really are a very gentle and nice person. Why would Terrence betray you?¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter anymore. In the future, Terrence and I will go our separate ways.¡± Alexa packed her luggage and did not allow the bodyguards to take it for her. Instead, she carried it. back by herself. Carissa didn¡¯t want to get involved with anything about Terrence at all. Alexa took a taxi, but the driver could only stop at the foot of the mountain. As a result, Alexa walked back to Duckdale Vi. Her waist, which was already faintly aching, hurt. even more. It was even difficult for her to walk. What a price to pay for being stubborn! Alexa thought. Alexa sighed in annoyance, lying stiffly on the bed for a day without going out to eat anything. After Terrence got off work and went home, Mina immediately came over anxiously. ¡°Mr. Terrence, Mrs. Terrence has been cooped up in her room for an entire day and hasn¡¯t even eaten anything.¡± Hearing this, Terrence directly went upstairs to Alexa¡¯s room without changing his clothes. ¡°I heard that you hadn¡¯t eaten anything?¡± Just as Terrence spoke, he suddenly paused. The heater in Alexa¡¯s room was on at a rather high temperature. Alexa was wearing a thin white silk nightgown, lying face down on the bed, looking at Terrence with a puzzled and innocent face. The dress Alexa was wearing was not exposed at all. But Terrence instantly shifted his gaze away unnaturally after a nce at the dress. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Terrence frowned and asked. ¡°I am sleeping.¡± ¡°Why are you lying on the bed like that?¡± ¡°My waist hurts, and it won¡¯t hurt so much if I lie on my stomach.¡± ¡°How can your waist hurt all of a sudden?¡± Terrence said as if he was lecturing a child. ¡°I already told you to watch out for your injuries. But you just don¡¯t listen!¡± Alexa was already in so much pain that she was irritated. Now that Terrence was still nagging, she felt even more annoyed. Before Terrence could finish speaking, Alexa had already buried her head in her pillow, not wanting to hear him speak at all. ¡°Wait a moment.¡± After Terrence finished speaking, he pursed his thin lips and left. Chapter 89 Chapter 89 Chapter 89 Show Me How You Feel Alexa listened vigntly to the sound outside the door, and not long after, Terrence returned as expected. ¡°Stay where you are.¡± ¡°What are you¡­¡± ¡°Hiss¡­¡± Before Alexa could finish her words, something beyond her expectations happened. Terrence cut Alexa¡¯s dress open. Alexa felt cold on her back. Soon, there was a trace of numbness and Terrence seemed to be massaging her after applying some unguent on her back. ¡°Are you massaging me?¡± Alexa asked nervously, ¡°Do you know how to do that?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t move!¡± Terrence gave a warning and pped her buttocks with his palm. Alexa subconsciously let out a low cry, her little face instantly flushed red, and an unspeakable. sense of shame instantly flooded her heart. How could Terrence p me on my¡­ Alexa thought. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Alexa questioned Terrence, embarrassed and annoyed. ¡°Massaging,¡± Terrence replied in a serious manner. Not long after, Alexa felt her waist didn¡¯t hurt as much as before. ¡°How are you feeling now?¡± Terrence asked, ¡°Are you feeling better?¡± ¡°Much better.¡± Alexa said in a deep voice, ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°Stay still for ten minutes.¡± With that, Terrence pulled over a chair and sat down beside Alexa¡¯s bed casually. Alexa was stunned, not knowing what to say. Alexa thought, so why is Terrence still here? Alexa was so nervous that she did not dare to move, and Terrence did not do anything else, staring at her back all the time. In the end, Alexa could not help but feel a little embarrassed to be stared at by Terrence like that. ¡°You don¡¯t have to stay with me.¡± Alexa said cautiously, ¡°Go and have dinner.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you.¡± Alexaid back down and felt that Terrence was odd. Alexa thought, how could this guy clearly be torturing me a second ago, but the next second, be as gentle as this? After Alexa hadin still for so long, her whole body was numb. And when Alexa sat up again to pick up her phone, her feet were trembling. Terrence put away the unguent and smoothly took off his suit jacket to wrap Alexa up. Then he gently picked her up in his arms. ¡°Put me down!¡± Alexa cried out in horror and subconsciously wrapped her arms around Terrence¡¯s neck. Terrence pretended to be calm, but he was actually nervous. Alexa stuck tightly in Terrence¡¯s arms, instantly making Terrence feelplete. ¡°Let¡¯s go have dinner,¡± Terrence said indifferently. Terrence carried Alexa all the way to the dining table, and when Mina and the others saw it, they immediately retreated consciously. After putting Alexa down, Terrence went to the kitchen. Alexa did not have much of an appetite, so she sat at the table, ying with her phone. When Terrence came out with the food, he happened to see Alexa¡¯s phone. Tiana sent a picture of a dish to the chatting group and said, ¡°Look at what my honey has made for me.¡± Alexa smiled sweetly and her eyes were full of light. ¡°Wow! I¡¯m so envious that you have such a wonderful husband!¡± Alexa replied. Terrence only took a nce and just happened to see the words that Alexa sent out. Terrence suddenly felt envious for no reason. Terrence thought, isn¡¯t that just a few crabs? Is there anything special? I can also cook it for her. Terrence ced the food in front of Alexa. Alexa seemed to be startled and immediately put away her phone. ¡°Well, thank you,¡± Alexa said politely. Terrence silently walked over to sit opposite Alexa and began to eat the meal. Terrence was like a bad child abandoned by the world, and the light on Alexa could never shine on him. ¡°Do you want a crab?¡± Hearing Terrence ask such a question, Alexa was shocked, and even stopped eating. ¡°Now is the season for crabs. Let¡¯s go out to y, OK?¡± Terrence originally thought that Alexa would not agree, but Alexa seriously thought about it and finally nodded. ¡°OK.¡± The smile on Alexa¡¯s face grew brighter and brighter. Terrence did what he said. Early the next morning, Alexa saw Edwin directing some people to run the luggage into the car. Sensing that Alexa was behind him, Edwin immediately had the people stop what they were doing. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mrs. Ramsey. Did we wake you up?¡± ¡°No.¡± Alexa waved her hand and asked doubtfully, ¡°Edwin, what are you guys doing?¡± ¡°We are moving the luggage to Mirror Lake Manor.¡± Edwin said word by word, ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, when you are ready, I¡¯will inform the driver to send you there.¡± Alexa silently took a sip of warm water and said in a low voice. ¡°Terrence really has a lot of manors.¡± ¡°Yes, Mrs. Ramsey.¡± Edwin pushed his sses a little and said with a serious look, ¡°Mr. Ramsey likes to design manors.¡± ¡°¡­ Alright.¡± Alexa packed up and got into the car with Edwin. It was a total of three hours¡¯ ride from Duckdale Vi to Mirror Lake Manor. Alexa leaned against the seat and was drowsy. As soon as the car stopped, Alexa slowly opened her eyes and saw arge group of people walking toward her. The one in the lead was Terrence. The car door was opened from the outside. Alexa looked over, frightened. The servants lined up neatly in two rows in front of the car door and greeted in unison. ¡°Good morning, Mrs. Ramsey!¡± Alexa blushed. Then Terrence reached out to her and said in a gentle voice. ¡°Let¡¯s go in.¡± After collecting her thoughts, Alexa avoided Terrence¡¯s hand without a trace and got out of the car by herself. Terrence walked side by side with Alexa. Alexa sensed that Terrence was too close to her and subconsciously moved away a little. However, Terrence also quickly followed and grabbed Alexa¡¯s hand, leaving her no chance to refuse. Alexa struggled quietly, but Terrence held her hand tightly, not giving her any chance to break free. ¡°Do you like this ce?¡± Terrence tilted his head and asked in a low voice. ¡°Not bad.¡± Alexa squeezed out two words. ¡°Do you want to call a few friends over for a meal?¡± Terrence continued, ¡°You like to be friends, right?¡± Hearing this, Alexa paused. Alexa used to like being with a group of people, but that was only in the past. Now, Alexa was alone outside, and it was ridiculous for her to be in a lively ce. Alexa¡¯s face turned cold in an instant and Terrence immediately noticed something was bothering her. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to call anyone over.¡± When Terrence heard Alexa say that in a cold voice, his calm eyes flickered slightly. ¡°You can do as you like.¡± Terrence said calmly, ¡°There¡¯s no point in getting angry about something like that.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not angry,¡± Alexa muttered. Terrence changed his attitude too fast, and Alexa still remembered what happened yesterday and felt it was impossible to see through Terrence at all. It was much colder in Mirror Lake Manor than in New York, and Terrence felt Alexa¡¯s hand as cold as ice. ¡°Why is your hand so cold?¡± Terrence said in a low voice and put Alexa¡¯s hand in his pocket. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. Alexa was like a puppet, following Terrence obediently. ¡°It¡¯s fine if you smile, cry, or get angry¡­¡± Terrence suddenly said, his eyes full of worry. ¡°But can you just show me how you feel?¡± Chapter 90 Chapter 90 Chapter 90 Who Does She Want to Impress? Alexa found Terrence in a state of great agitation for the first time, so a trace of surprise shed past her pale face. Alexa collected herself quickly. ¡°What kind of emotion do you want?¡± Alexa asked seriously. Never had Terrence felt so helpless. In his eyes, Alexa was trying her best to please her buyer. Terrence instantly cooled off and felt frustrated. ¡°Nothing. Time for lunch,¡± Terrence said coldly. As Alexa wished, Terrence had prepared a feast with crabs. Those amazing dishes were made by first- ss chefs. However, Terrence suddenly had most of the dishes taken away from the table and told the servants to bring over a pot. Alexa was mad at Terrence but wouldn¡¯t punish herself with food. She looked at the soup boiling in the pot with excitement and sent one slice of beef in it. With the warm food in her stomach, Alexa instantly cheered up and found Terrence not as disgusting as before. Noticing that Alexa loved meat, Terrence told the servants to bring more meat over. Suddenly, Alexa stopped eating because she noticed that Terrence ate nothing. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Terrence asked. ¡°Is the food not good?¡± ¡°No.¡± Alexa shook her head. ¡°Do you have no appetite?¡± Weirdly, why do you stare at me all the way¡­ Alexa wondered. ¡°Delicious?¡± Terrence asked. ¡°Yes.¡± Then, Terrence got up, took away the te with sauce from Alexa, and ate one slice of beef casually. ¡°Well, not bad.¡± Alexa was taken by surprise. ¡°Do you want some new sauce?¡± Alexa asked in a low voice. ¡°Sure.¡± Terrence agreed without hesitation but didn¡¯t give the sauce back to Alexa. Alexa had an upset stomach, so she didn¡¯t eat much. Terrence gave Alexa one crab and then silently ate up all the remaining food on her te. ¡°What do you want to do in the afternoon?¡± Terrence asked. ¡°I want to sleep,¡± Alexa said without thinking. ¡°Alright.¡± Terrence nodded. ¡°I¡¯ll take you to your room.¡± As long as Alexa was happy, Terrence didn¡¯t mind that she didn¡¯t follow his steps. Alexa¡¯s room was Terrence¡¯s only design work. Terrence conceived the design based on what Alexa liked, and the decoration was of a warm tone. There was the piano Alexa had yed in the Duran¡¯s ce. ¡°Oh my¡­¡± Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. Alexa eximed with her hands on her cheeks because she found what she saw incredible. ¡°May I y this?¡± Alexa looked at Terrence. ¡°May I?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± Terrence nodded. Alexa instantly sat down, held her breath, and put her fingertips on the keys of the piano. The piano tickled gently in the background. Alexa stopped ying soon. She didn¡¯t y well because of ack of practice. Alexanded her palms on the keys in frustration, and a reverberation appeared. ¡°Forget it.¡± Alexa lowered her head to cool down. ¡°I¡­¡± Alexa instantly shut up, constricted her eyes, and froze. Terrence leaned over on Alexa from behind, and his fragrance lingered near her nose. ¡°Take it slow,¡± Terrence said in a gentle voice. Then, Terrence gently held Alexa by the finger and knocked out the note one after another. With her fingers in therge male palms, Alexa had to follow Terrence. The familiar melody resounded in the room slowly. It was ¡°Lyphard Melodie¡±, the first song Alexa had learned. Alexa withdrew her hands as if she had an electric shock. Then, she stood up with agitation. ¡°I¡­ can¡¯t y piano.¡± Terrence sat down and gently stroked the piano keys. Silence pervaded the room. Alexa looked at Terrence, who wore a dark blue suit and sat before the piano when the autumn sun prated through the window and quietly shone on him. Terrence raised his hand and pressed a key. His voice was as maic as a cello. ¡°I watched a video about your 20-year-old birthday party. Back then, you yed this song on this piano, right?¡± The beautiful melody echoed in the room, and Alexa seemed to see a bright river of stars. The stars shone above the waves¡­ Alexa looked at Terrence in a trance, bewitched. What else does Terrence keep from me? Alexa wondered. When thest bar of melody disappeared, Alexa came up with an idea. ¡°Do you know my past?¡± ¡°I should since you are my wife.¡± ¡°But I¡­¡± ¡°I know that you don¡¯t want to talk about your past.¡± Terrence got up with a soft expression. ¡°I will keep it for your sake.¡± Terrence didn¡¯t have a glib tongue, so he was candid with Alexa most of the time. Alexa considered it unnecessary to lie because he knew that the truth wouldn¡¯t hurt Alexa. Alexa stood quietly before Terrence and finally rxed after days of anxiety. ¡°Thank you.¡± Alexa sounded sincere as if she was talking to a good friend. ¡°You may go to sleep.¡± Terrence got up and walked to the door. ¡°I have something to do.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Terrence didn¡¯t leave the room till Alexa tucked herself in. Terrence was determined to give himself two days off, so he didn¡¯t go to work. It was sunny. Terrence got changed and then went to theke with his fishing gear. Alexa saw Terrence sitting by theke motionlessly like a fisherman when she arrived. ¡°Terrence!¡± Hearing the shout, Terrence was softened. He raised his index finger to his thin lips. Then, Terrence said in an indifferent tone, ¡°Quiet. You will scare the fish away.¡± Alexa trotted to Terrence and panted slightly. Alexa wore a white dress and aced shawl with pearls on it, and her hair was gracefully and meticulously coiled up with a hairpin. It was rare for Terrence to see Alexa in such exquisite attire. His eyes lit up. ¡°Why did you dress up like this?¡± Terrence fixed his gaze on Alexa like a strict father. ¡°Don¡¯t you feel cold? What if you catch a cold?¡± ¡°I am fine.¡± With starry eyes, Alexa turned around before Terrence. She was satisfied with her attire. ¡°Do I look good?¡± Alexa murmured. Terrence stared at Alexa and did not answer. Then, Alexa asked Terrence to do her a favor. ¡°Do you have time? Could you please take a picture of me?¡± Terrence thought without displeasure, she is anxious to show off her beautiful attire. Who does she want to impress with the photos? Chapter 91 Chapter 91 Chapter 91 He Is Unromantic ¡°No.¡± Terrence refused directly. ¡°Just one photo, please!¡± Alexa wasn¡¯t vengeful. After lunch, she forgot that Terrence was a bad guy to her. ¡°No,¡± Terrence picked up his fishing rod and said indifferently. ¡°You should go to put on more. clothes.¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± Alexa snorted angrily and turned around to leave. ¡°I¡¯ll take selfies.¡± When Alexa took two steps away, Terrence put down his fishing rod, got up, and took out his phone. ¡°I¡¯ll take a photo for you.¡± Terrence stopped Alexa. ¡°Use my phone. Who do you want to send the photo to?¡± ¡°To post online.¡± Alexa looked at Terrence as she did an antique. ¡°Haven¡¯t you shared photos online?¡± Terrence impressed Alexa that his socialmunications were all about business events. ¡°No,¡± Terrence replied with a straight face. Alexa had foreseen this answer. ¡°Alright.¡± Alexa did not delve into this topic and immediately led Terrence to find the background for her photos. Never had Terrence taken photos for others, but he had good taste. His photos weren¡¯t inferior to the works of a good photographer. Thanks to the tips from Terrence, Alexa behaved naturally and showed her good figure in the photos. Terrence threw his phone to Alexa after the shooting. ¡°Which photo do you like? Choose yourself.¡± After that, Terrence turned to get his fishing rod by theke. Alexa held Terrence¡¯s cell phone as if it was a hot potato. He gave me his phone! Isn¡¯t he afraid that I will check his phone and find something I shouldn¡¯t know? Alexa wondered. Alexa remembered that some women checked the phones of their boyfriends or husbands skeptically. In herst rtionship, Brenton had given her his phone. However, Alexa valued the privacy of her and others, so she had never checked the phone of others. There was no photo but the ones Terrence had just taken on his phone. Doesn¡¯t this mean that he doesn¡¯t want me to check his phone? Alexa thought. Alexa quickly chose several photos to make a grid and then deleted the rest. When Terrence came over with his fishing gear, Alexa quickly returned the phone to him. ¡°Wow, fish!¡± ¡°What should we do with it? I will tell the cook.¡± ¡°I want some fish soup,¡± Alexa said without thinking ¡°Alright.¡± Terrence nodded. ¡°There is time before dinner. What should we do?¡± ¡°Is there a mall nearby?¡± Alexa casually asked. ¡°Today is Saturday, so there will be a discount in the shops.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Terrence agreed to go shopping without hesitation. It took the couple half an hour to arrive in the downtown area. Never had Terrence thought of discounts when he went shopping. To be precise, Terrence seldom went shopping in the mall. Therefore, he was surprised that his wife went after petty advantages. Terrence didn¡¯t look down on Alexa for this discovery and considered it the sunshine in his life. On the way to the mall, Alexa edited her post in the car. After long deliberation, Alexa muttered to herself, ¡°What shall I write?¡± Terrence silently yed with his phone. He calmly restored all the photos Alexa had just deleted. Terrence asked casually, ¡°What do you have in your mind?¡± This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . ¡°Unforgettable.¡± ¡°Not good.¡± Terrence pulled a long face. ¡°What if it causes a misunderstanding? Alexa, you are married now.¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± Terrence offered a suggestion when Alexa was pondering. ¡°Can¡¯t you just say a happy day?¡± Alexa felt speechless. Then, she asked with doubt, ¡°Are you serious¡­¡± ¡°What¡¯s the problem?¡± Terrence narrowed his eyes. ¡°Do you mean that you are not happy with me?¡± ¡°No.¡± ¡°Then, what is the problem?¡± ¡°I think it¡¯s a little¡­ uh¡­¡± Terrence extended his hand toward Alexa. ¡°Give me your phone.¡± Alexa obediently handed her phone to Terrence as if Terrence had cast a spell on her. Terrence typed on Alexa¡¯s phone, picked up his phone, and then yed with it for a while. Alexa was taken aback when she got her phone back. Terrence had uploaded the photos with the line he had suggested. Then, he gave that post a liking with his ount. Moreover, that post was open to Terrence only. ¡°Ah¡­ You¡¯re the only viewer who has ess to the post!¡± Alexa muttered with dissatisfaction. ¡°Yes, only I can read that post.¡± Terrence nodded. ¡°What is the problem?¡± ¡°It is a grave problem.¡± Alexa made that post avable to the public. ¡°My friends won¡¯t know how beautiful I am.¡± ¡°So what?¡± Terrence stared at Alexa and raised his hand. When Terrence intended to hold Alexa around her slender waist, the driver stopped the car at the entrance of the mall. Terrence had to withdraw his hand immediately. Alexa looked back at Terrence and found his expression weird. Alexa wondered, what is wrong with him? Why does he look angry all of a sudden? Does he dislike this ce full of people? ¡°You can wait for me in the car if you like,¡± Alexa suggested considerately. ¡°Why can¡¯t I go shopping with you?¡± Terrence asked awkwardly. ¡°There are many people in the mall. Do you want your name in the headlines tomorrow?¡± Without hesitation, Terrence pushed the car door open, got out of the car, and stood next to Alexa with a straight back. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Terrence calmly urged Alexa. He is weird! Alexa thought. Alexa took a few steps away to distance herself from Terrence. However, Terrence came over and ced his hand on Alexa¡¯s shoulder. Too close! Alexa thought. Alexa walked awkwardly, but Terrence was at ease. ¡°What do you want to buy?¡± Terrence asked. ¡°I want a walk and will buy what is necessary.¡± ¡°You can tell me what you want, and I will get them sent to our ce.¡± He, the owner of Hudson Group, is unromantic! Alexa concluded. ¡°That isn¡¯t funny at all!¡± Terrence missed the old days. ¡°I was happy when I went shopping with my brother in the supermarket. He bought me my first lipstick.¡± Alexa sounded proud at the mention of Keyon as if he was the best brother in the world. Terrence grew up alone because his parents were busy with their business all over the world. Heter went abroad to study and had little time to be with his family. The acquaintance with Brynlee brought some colors to his world. Therefore, Terrence couldn¡¯t understand the kinship Alexa missed. Never had Terrence been out of money. ¡°What do you want? I¡¯ll buy them for you.¡± Chapter 92 Chapter 92 Chapter 92 Son-in-Law Terrence still believed in the power of money. Alexa skipped this topic and walked to the mall with Terrence Today was Saturday, so there were a lot of people in the mall. Terrence hated this noisy ce. He didn¡¯tin today because Alexa was by his side. ¡°What do you need?¡± Alexa asked. ¡°What do you think Ick?¡± ¡°Nothing.¡± Alexa nodded and remembered one thing. ¡°If you don¡¯t like this ce, wait for me outside.¡± Terrence looked around and frowned. ¡°Not that bad.¡± Terrence was handsome and noble while Alexa was beautiful. This outstanding couple was eye- catching and caught the attention of others whenever they went. Terrence shot a nce at those onlookers with a long face and concluded that they were attracted by Alexa. Why doesn¡¯t Alexa do something? Doesn¡¯t she know that those people have something bad in their minds?Terrence thought. Without hesitation, Terrence took off his suit jacket and wrapped it around Alexa. Before Alexa protested, Terrence pulled her into his arms by the shoulders. ¡°What is wrong?¡± Alexa said in a panic. ¡°People are looking at us.¡± ¡°They cannot believe that you dressed up like this in this season.¡± ¡°What is the problem? It¡¯s not cold today.¡± ¡°You are sick when you feel cold.¡± Speaking, Terrence led Alexa to a fancy clothing shop not far away. Alexa felt at ease in this shop. He took a white coat and handed it to Terrence. ¡°This coat is not bad. Put it on,¡± Terrence said coolly. Alexa nced at the price tag and thought, two, three, four, five zeros¡­ Alexa felt dizzy and thought, with so much money, I could buy apany like the Duran Group, However, Terrence spent thisrge sum of money on a coat. A saleswoman was eagle-eyed. She immediately came over and praised Alexa enthusiastically. The saleswoman introduced that this coat was an exclusive product of a famous designer and that this design had appeared in a runway show. I don¡¯t give a damn! I just know that this coat costs 500 thousand dors but looks no different from those ordinary ones! Alexa thought. After the saleswoman helped Alexa put on the coat, Terrence nodded slightly and handed over his bank card without hesitation. Alexa was ill at ease. She felt like amodity being judged when Terrence looked her up and down. In the end, Terrence gave Alexa short praise. ¡°You look good in this coat.¡± Terrence revealed a rare smile. After a while, he asked, ¡°Did Keyon buy a coat for you?¡± ¡°No, he didn¡¯t,¡± Alexa said honestly. ¡°However, he will if I want one.¡± ¡°Really?¡± The smile in Terrence¡¯s eyes faded. Terrence thought, I will win Keyon. ¡°You are quite protective of him,¡± Terrence said indifferently. Then, Terrence led the way out of the shop. Alexa jogged to catch up with Terrence without noticing his jealousy. ¡°Of course. He is my brother. He is one of the only two men who love me.¡± Alexa was afraid that there would be a misunderstanding. Therefore, she added, ¡°The other one is my Terrence still looked bad as if he hadn¡¯t heard this exnation. father.¡± ¡°You love your family very much,¡± Terrence said ndly. ¡°Of course,¡± Alexa looked Terrence in the face and said in a decisive tone. ¡°Isn¡¯t it the right thing?¡± ¡°ording to thew, I am the son-inw of the Duran family,¡± Terrence said calmly. ¡°I am a member of your family.¡± Son-inw¡­ Alexa thought. This address frightened Alexa. Isn¡¯t this marriage a deal for him? He seldom mentions his family! Alexa thought. All of a sudden, Alexa did not know how to respond. Right then, Terrence¡¯s phone rang. Alexa walked away sensibly. Terrence answered the call without scruples. His tone during the conversation did not change much. He ended the call after some short responses. ¡°Do you have something to do?¡± Alexa straightened her clothes with fake calmness. ¡°Ruben came back from abroad. He will hold a ball tonight. Do you want to go?¡± Keyon had introduced a lot of people to Alexa, so she knew Ruben, a ssmate of her brother at university. ¡°My name isn¡¯t on his guest list,¡± Alexa said in a low voice. Terrence pulled a long face and looked gloomy. ¡°You may go as Mrs. Ramsey.¡± ¡°Oh¡­ Do you want me to go?¡± Alexa asked cautiously. What is she talking about? Terrence thought. Terrence frowned. Then, he said, ¡°Go if you want to. Forget it if you don¡¯t want to.¡± ¡°Are you going with me?¡± It was a stupid question, so Terrence couldn¡¯t help ring up. ¡°Who else will go with you?¡± Terrence asked in a low voice, and there was a cold light in his eyes. ¡°Who do you want to go with?¡± ¡°I just want to make sure.¡± Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! I have attended the parties as your date several times. Alexa thought. After Alexa agreed to go to the ball, Terrence invited a team of stylists to his manor. One stylist had brought Alexa a golden velvet dress with a fishtail. This dress perfectly disyed Alexa¡¯s good figure. Against her fair and delicate skin, Alexa in this dress looked like white chocte that was about to melt under the autumn sun. Terrence sat on a sofa and smiled at Alexa, whom the stylists helped put on makeup. He seemed satisfied. Alexa felt nervous because she hadn¡¯t attended a ball for a long time. After the car stopped, Alexa carefully got out of the car with the fishtail of the dress in her hand. She was so nervous that she didn¡¯t notice Terrence¡¯s outstretched hand. The high heels Alexa wore were three inches high, so Alexa became cautious in fear that she would fall. Terrence will kill me if I make a fool of myself here. Alexa thought. Terrence did not push Alexa. He held her hand tightly and slowed down his pace. Alexa felt ufortable in her hand, shot a nce at it, and found a ring on Terrence¡¯s hand. That ring was their wedding ring. Alexa saw Terrence wear that ring for the first time. I thought he had thrown the ring away. Alexa thought. Alexa was lost for words when a strange feeling crossed her heart. There was amotion not far away when the couple arrived at the doorway. A group of young men and women surrounded the couple, and the person in the lead was Ruben. Ruben ignored Terrence, who was cold, and looked at Alexa with enthusiasm. ¡°Isn¡¯t this my dear little princess, Alexa!¡± Ruben teased Alexa as before. Then, he asked, ¡°Where¡¯s your brother?¡± Chapter 93 Chapter 93 Chapter 93 Your Breathing Is Chaotic Alexa¡¯s expression instantly became somewhat awkward at the words. The smile on his face. In fact, it was not Ruben¡¯s fault. He had been abroad for five or six years and was suppressed by his father to improve himself seriously. He hadn¡¯t been allowed to return to the country after he had made achievements in the branchpany. In addition, the news about the Duran family had beenpletely blocked, so it was impossible for him to know about the great changes. Ruben didn¡¯t notice anything strange at all and continued his displeasing questions. ¡°Why are you with Terrence? Did your brother allow you to be in a rtionship?¡± Ruben asked. nosily. Alexa was awkward. The remaining smile was pretty mechanical. Terrence¡¯s cold expression was even more terrifying. He wished that he could kill this idiot Ruben right now. Aron, who had arrivedte, only heard thest sentence of Ruben and immediately sensed that. something was wrong. He squeezed his way out of the crowd. Aron greeted them to break the embarrassment, ¡°Guys, move, move. Let¡¯s go in.¡± Ruben still wanted to say something, but Aron immediately interrupted him and mysteriously moved closer to Alexa and Terrence. ¡°Wow! Alexa, you¡¯re so beautiful today!¡± Aron praised, ¡°Your man Terrence must have spent a lot of time and effort, right?¡± Aron¡¯s words got Alexa¡¯s pale face blushing uncontrobly. ¡°Go in,¡± Terrence said with a deep voice. People around him immediately opened up a path and watched Alexa leave with him. Ruben was struck dumb by Aron¡¯s words just now. He hadn¡¯te back to his senses. ¡°Idiot!¡± Aron punched him in the face and pulled Ruben away. ¡°What the hell is going on?¡± Ruben did not give up and asked. ¡°Why did you provoke him?¡± Aron clicked his tongue and told him everything that happened in the Duran family. Ruben was stunned, simply unable to believe that this thing would actually happen to the Duran family. ¡°Then where is Keyon now?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± Aron said, ¡°Even Terrence could find him nowhere as if he had vanished.¡± ¡°It can¡¯t be.¡± Ruben shook his head and said with certainty, ¡°He wouldn¡¯t do that. As long as Alexa is in New York, Keyon wouldn¡¯t leave her alone.¡± ¡°Anyway, she is now Terrence¡¯s wife. No one else including Keyon can take her away.¡± Aron patted him on the shoulder and walked over to Terrence. Terrence and Alexa sat in the booth. Even if they did not do anything, they could still be the focus of the crowd. Alexa did not take what had just happened to her heart and sat quietly there. She was gentle and elegant. They perfectly matched each other. Aron said that in his heart. Just as he sat down, Ruben came over with a wine ss. ¡°Sorry for what I said. I hope you do not take my nonsense seriously. Well, shall we have a drink?¡± Terrence swept his cold gaze over the people in front of him, and his cold gaze did not fluctuate in the slightest. Ruben stood in front of them, ayer of cold sweat appearing on his back for no reason. If his father knew that he had offended Terrence, he would definitely be sent abroad again. Seeing Terrence had no reaction at all, Alexa reached for the drink on the table. Terrence saw her action and pushed away the wine in front of Alexa. He picked up the juice that the waiter had just brought over and gave it to her. He did all of this smoothly, without the slightest hesitation. Not only Alexa, but the people beside them were all dumbfounded. Aron opened his eyes wide and immediately understood what was going on. If Terrence really didn¡¯t feel anything for her, it was impossible for Terrence to do this. Alexa said ¡°thanks¡± in a low voice and politely clinked sses with Ruben. After drinking the wine, Ruben announced the start of the ball. Then he invited Alexa and Terrence to show a dance. Alexa did not dare to make the decision for Terrence. Moreover, she did not dare to look back at Terrence¡¯s expression. If he refused coldly, then she would be very embarrassed. Besides, she didn¡¯t believe that Terrence would like to dance with her. Alexa smiled and wanted to refuse, but her slender hand was suddenly covered. Terrence stood up elegantly, looking her into her eyes. ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± he said simply. She walked to the center of the stage, her hand in his. On the way, Alexa could not help but say, ¡°But I can¡¯t dance well.¡± Terrence seemed to chuckle faintly. She heard Terrence calmly reply, ¡°It¡¯s fine, I¡¯m here.¡± The two reached the center of the stage. The lights around them suddenly dimmed, leaving only a light focused on them. Terrence bowed slightly and extended his hand towards her gently. His gentle gaze was impressive and enchanting. ¡°Shall we dance?¡± His voice was charming. Alexa¡¯s eyes were starry. Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. ¡°My pleasure.¡± Terrence elegantly wrapped his arm around her waist and guided her to dance to the music. It was a miracle that Alexa could stay awake while being so close to him. Although Terrence very patiently guided her movements, Alexa still stepped on him a few times in a panic. ¡°Sorry,¡± she cried out in horror and nervousness. Terrence took a step forward and led her to dance. When Alexa came to her senses, Terrence had blocked the audience for her. The dance music was slow and elegant. Terrence¡¯s fascinating voice sounded. ¡°Your breathing is chaotic.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± Alexa silently took a deep breath and straightened her body. Terrence leaned towards her. Heforted, ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± The two simple words were enough for Alexa to calm down. She subconsciously trusted him. unconditionally. She even felt that Terrence could handle everything. ¡°Are you ready?¡± Terrence smiled warmly, and his eyes were bright. His facial features cast a few shadows against the light, making him look sexier and more mysterious. ¡°Alright¡­¡± Alexa responded softly and slowed her breathing. She threw herself into the dance. The pleasant dizziness hit her. The music gradually reached its peak, and as thest rotation waspleted, the song ended. They stopped in the middle of the stage. Terrence bowed and thanked her. Alexa¡¯s were soft and bright, like the moonlight. After a brief silence, a burst of warm apuse suddenly broke out all around. Chapter 94 Chapter 94 Chapter 94 Gentleman¡¯s Wine Terrence held her hand again, never letting go. The lights in the hall lit up again. Alexa looked at the people walking toward them as if it was a lifetime ago. Aron couldn¡¯t help but p. He said loudly, ¡°This is wonderful! It is amazing!¡± ¡°Thank you,¡± Alexa said humbly. Just now, all of them only felt that it was strange. Terrence married secretly, and his wife was the Duran family¡¯s third daughter. Just now, they had seen a dance that was enough to shake the entire world, and they were all amazed. ¡°You guys go have fun,¡± Terrence said indifferently. As soon as he spoke, more than half of the surrounding people immediately dispersed. Ruben and a few young masters who were close didn¡¯t leave. Alexa immediately guessed that they had something to talk about. ¡°There¡¯s a private room on the second floor. Pleasee upstairs with us.¡± Ruben respectfully raised his hand to invite him. The smile on his face deepened. Terrence turned back to look at Alexa. Alexa gently raised her eyes, indicating that she was fine. ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Terrence said. Walking up the spiral staircase, it immediately became quiet. The second floor was decorated in an elegant, retro medieval style. Two waiters pushed open the wooden door, and the luxurious interior immediately showed. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. Under the luxurious crystal ceiling was a precious marble table. Everywhere in the room was decorated with gold and different kinds of gemstones. It was luxurious but without a trace of vulgarity. Every detail was amazing. Even though the Duran family was considered a wealthy family in New York back then, Alexa had never seen such a scene. Terrence calmly led her to sit down at the side. Even though they did not sit on the main seat, they still exuded the charisma of the protagonist. Some people were born to be the brightest existence in the crowd. Aron picked up the menu and immediately handed it to Alexa. ¡°Alexa, you order first.¡± As soon as he finished, everyone¡¯s eyes immediately focused on Alexa. Alexa felt pressured and subconsciously turned to look at Terrence. She heard that on this asion, there was a secret rule about ordering food and so on. Alexa wasn¡¯t familiar with it, and she didn¡¯t want to offend the others. Thinking of this, Alexa immediately handed the menu to Terrence. ¡°How about you do it?¡± She whispered. ¡°I have no idea.¡± Terrence did not refuse. He raised his hand and took the menu Alexa handed over. Alexa heaved a sigh of relief for not having to deal with it. However, Terrence didn¡¯t even flip through the menu before he opened his mouth and skillfully ordered a few dishes. ¡°Beluga caviar, white truffle, smoked salmon¡­.¡± He paused and turned to look at Ruben. ¡°Do you have these?¡± ¡°Yes, yes!¡± Ruben nodded and smiled coyly. ¡°As long as you order, even if you want the moon, I will find a way to make it for you.¡± Alexa was speechless. Terrence nodded slightly and ordered a few more dishes that Alexa liked to eat. He then handed the menu over. Aron was excited. He immediately blurted out, ¡°I brought my father¡¯s wine. It¡¯s called gentleman¡¯s wine.¡± Hearing this, Alexa was curious. ¡°What¡¯s the gentleman¡¯s wine?¡± Hearing her question, Terrence took a sip of water and coughed lightly with an unnatural expression. He stared at Aron meaningfully. Aronpletely ignored Terrence¡¯s warning and exined. ¡°It¡¯s called gentleman¡¯s wine because it is made with the best brandy added with cinnamon.¡± Alexa nodded her head with confusion. It sounded like something very good. However, Aron mysteriously paused. His crafty gaze locked onto Terrence as he spoke word by word with a low voice that was just enough for everyone to hear. ¡°It can strengthen a man¡¯s kidney and man¡¯s power!¡± Hearing this, Alexa was shy and her face instantly became red and hot, and the temperature around Terrence dropped several dozen degrees. His face darkened. Intentionally or unintentionally, Terrence rubbed the ss and looked at Aron with a strange look. It could be expected that Aron would disappear for some time. It really made people sad. Alexa had yet toe back to her senses when Terrence pursed his thin lips and peeled a few prawns for her. ¡°Ignore him. Let¡¯s eat.¡± Aron had never seen Terrence be so meticulous with any woman in his life. Even Brynlee did not have such kind of treatment. Alexa looked shy. Could she be pretending? But Alexa did not know about this. She only felt thating out with Terrence to socialize was the easiest thing in the world. She did not need to do anything and just needed to eat. Alexa did not know that the others had been staring at her as if they had seen a unique spectacle. If it weren¡¯t for Terrence sitting here, they would have asked many questions. ¡°Are you going to take a bath in the hot spring after dinner?¡± Terrence tilted his head and asked. Alexa was shocked by this sudden close distance. After calming down, she asked in a low voice, ¡°You want to go?¡± Alexa was always like this. No matter what she did, she had to first ask Terrence¡¯s opinion first. She alwayscked a sense of security. Terrence knew she wanted to go, so he nodded patiently. ¡°If you want to go, we¡¯ll stay here for the night.¡± ¡°Oh, okay.¡± Alexa nodded obediently and continued to eat. Seeing the interaction between Terrence and Alexa was so intimate, Aron was jealous. However, he was also very curious about what kind of charm Alexa had that could make Terrence like this. After the meal, a female waiter immediately took Alexa to the hot spring. Since she was the only female guest, she could enjoy therge hot spring by herself. After Alexa changed her clothes, she stepped out barefooted. The pool she was in was called ¡°Rose Pool.¡± The pool water was natural hot spring water drawn from the mountain and had many additional spices. The foggy pool water faintly suffused with a high-ss rose fragrance. Alexa slowly took off her clothes and carefully stretched out her foot to test the water temperature. Her tender and fair foot was surrounded by warm water. Alexa smiled and immersed herself in it. There were a few delicate petal-shaped jellies on the tray on the side, and Alexa tried one curiously. Besides the sweet taste, there was also a slight bitterness. This taste was a bit strange, and Alexa ate another one¡­. On the other hand, after Terrence, Ruben, and the others finished talking, they left the conference room one after another. Aron suddenly moved closer mysteriously. Terrence¡¯s eyelids jumped fiercely. He looked at Aron coldly. ¡°Terrence, don¡¯t follow us anymore. Hurry up to be with Alexa.¡± Chapter 95 Chapter 95 Chapter 95 I Don¡¯t Know That You Can¡¯t Swim Hearing Aron say this, Terrence immediately knew that something had happened. Thinking of the gentleman¡¯s wine that Aron had brought, Terrence immediately realized it would not be a good thing. He did not even waste time dealing with Aron and directly walked towards the hot spring house where Alexa was. ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Aron shouted from behind him. ¡°I told them to take good care of Alexa. Besides, I also asked them to send some fresh flower cocktail jelly made of that wine.¡± Wine¡­ Terrence¡¯s face darkened, and he wished he could immediately teach Aron a lesson. However, he quickened his pace and soon disappeared in front of the others. At that moment, Alexa was soaking in the water. Her head was a little dizzy, and the temperature of her body had increased a lot. It seemed that the healing effect of this hot spring was really good. Alexa yawnedzily, feeling like she was about to fall asleep. However, the noise from the door woke her up a lot. ¡°Who is it?¡± Alexa cried out warily and gradually moved toward the edge of the pool behind her. Hearing the sound of water, Terrence said in a deep voice. ¡°It¡¯s me.¡± Hearing his voice, Alexa dodged even faster. After she leaned on the edge of the pool on the other side with extreme vignce, Terrence slowly passed through the hazy mist and stood quietly in front of her. Feeling his serene gaze locked on her, Alexa sank into the water subconsciously. ¡°What¡­ what are you doing here?¡± With a red face, she asked. ¡°This is fordies only.¡± ¡°Are you alright?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Alexa was confused and did not understand what Terrence meant. Terrence nced indifferently at the tray on the side, and the jelly inside was only left with an empty shell. ¡°You ate all of them?¡± Terrence frowned. It was just a few jellies. Was there a need to be so nervous? Alexa thought. She came back to her senses and asked tentatively. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t I eat them?¡± It seemed that she had no idea of what was going on! Terrence didn¡¯t know how to exin it. He said helplessly. He could only say, ¡°Go back to the room with me.¡± After saying that, Terrence consciously turned around. Immediately, there was the sound of water sshing behind him. Alexa immediately pulled the bath towel over herself, afraid that Terrence would suddenly turn around. As for Terrence, who had his back on Alexa, he had a very strange feeling. He didn¡¯t know if it was because of his psychological effect, but he felt his body heat up. Terrence tried his best to regain consciousness, but his mind was filled with images of Alexa soaking in the water. She was wearing a light-colored swimsuit. Her fair skin was even more beautiful when soaked in the misty water. Her waist-length ck hair was gently swaying in the water like seaweed. ¡°I¡¯m done.¡± The clear voice suddenly sounded beside him, and Terrence instantly came back to his senses and nced at Alexa in a slight trance. Her ck hair was wet behind her back, and her fair little face became ruddy due to this warm and humid air. Terrence¡¯s body tensed up, and he coughed lightly. His expression was somewhat unnatural. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± His voice was deep and even slightly hoarse. Alexa wrapped the bath towel around her body and obediently followed Terrence out of the hot spring house. ¡°Did you enjoy it?¡± Terrence suddenly said. Alexa had just finished enjoying thefortable hot spring and was now in an extremely excited mood. Then, Alexa changed the topic. She asked, ¡°Where are Mr. Lambert and the others?¡± ¡°Why are you concerned about them?¡± Terrence said indifferently and then continued. ¡°The Hudson Group still has a lot ofnd. I¡¯ll get them to make a proposalter.¡± ¡°Oh, okay. You¡¯re really good at business,¡± Alexa praised without thinking. Terrence was instantly speechless. He suddenly became gloomy and then didn¡¯t say anything. After entering the room with Terrence, Alexa was stunned. The configuration of this presidential suite was beyond her imagination. There was not only all kinds of furniture but also a luxurious private swimming pool. Terrence pressed the switch on the side and put in a pool of warm water. Then, he looked at Alexa, who was standing behind him. Her face was flushed, but she was unbelievably quiet. She stood silently behind Terrence like a very obedient girl. ¡°Alexa?¡± Terrence asked with a serious look on his face. ¡°Are you alright? Are you really not feeling ufortable?¡± Alexa touched her forehead. Her eyes were a little blurred, but she shook her head firmly. ¡°No,¡± she said innocently, ¡°I don¡¯t feel ufortable.¡± ¡°Then take a shower.¡± After Terrence finished, he turned around and walked towards the door. Alexa took a step, but her legs were weak. She tried to sit by the pool, but all she saw ovepped. Crap, how could this be? Alexa immediately felt that her illness had red up, but Terrence had not left yet, so she must not let him know. So, she sat down while panting slightly, but her foot missed¡­ ¡°Ah¡­¡± Hearing this sudden scream, Terrence immediately turned back and saw Alexa fall straight down. ¡°Alexa!¡± Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. He shouted in a low voice and immediately went into the water to scoop her up. Although this pool was not big, it had some depth. Alexa could not swim at all, and with the influence of alcohol, she was now flustered and lost her mind. The light in front of her was gradually covered, and Alexa felt her waist being held by someone. In an instant, it was as if she had grabbed onto a life-saving straw and grabbed Terrence without any exnation. Terrence¡¯s movements were instantly disrupted. Alexa tightly tightened her lips and did not breathe at all. Terrence grabbed the back of her head and pulled Alexa into his arms. Then his thin lips forcefully pried open her lips and transferred all the air in his lungs to her. A few secondster, both of them emerged from the water. Terrence released Alexa, but his hand was still holding her waist. Alexa¡¯s heart was not good. Shey on the edge of the pool with a painful expression on her face and gasped. ¡°It¡¯s my fault. I¡¯m sorry,¡± Terrence apologized in a low voice. ¡°I didn¡¯t know you couldn¡¯t swim.¡± Alexa coughed a few times violently, shook her head without a word, and walked out of the pool. Terrence grabbed a towel and tightly wrapped her up. Then, he carried Alexa back to the room. Alexa¡¯s breathing gradually stabilized. Terrence found a thick sleeping robe and ced it in front of her before leaving the room. Alexa looked at the robe and was instantly stunned. It was actually her favorite nnel girl-style robe. Terrence had mocked her several times for it, but he prepared such a robe for her this time. Chapter 96 Chapter 96 Chapter 96 Type of Thousands of Girls Alexa changed her clothes and walked out of the room. Did Terrence go to another room? Thinking of his wet pants, Alexa suddenly felt a little guilty. Terrence would not have been implicated if she had not been so clumsy. Alexa remained silent and suddenly remembered that kiss just now. In that case, Terrence had no choice but to do it, right? Alexa raised her hand and touched her lips, as if there was still Terrence¡¯s warmth and smell. The color suddenly flooded her cheeks. Alexa felt like there was a slight electric running through her fingertips, numb and a little painful. Walking to the hall, she suddenly caught a sweet smell. Terrence stood in the kitchen. The soup was boiling in the casserole in front of him. He had taken off his wet shirt and wore an apron. Terrence¡¯s figure was not inferior to that of top male models. Besides, his muscles were sexy charming. He was really the type of thousands of girls. Alexa only stole a nce at him, and her ears immediately became hot and red. Terrence was giving full y to his authentic charm. Alexa stood there in a daze for a while,pletely unaware that Terrence had looked up nced at her. ¡°What are you doing? Are you scared silly?¡± Terrence asked in a straight way. As soon as he spoke, Alexa¡¯s dream instantly shattered. ¡°No.¡± She touched the tip of her nose guiltily, mustered up her courage, and walked over. Terrence picked up a spoon and scooped up some soup. He lifted it and blew it gently. Alexa had thought Terrence was going to have a taste. But Terrence naturally handed the spoon to her. Looking at the light soup in front of her, Alexa hesitated and reached out her hand. However, Terrence held the spoon so hard and had no intention of giving it to her. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Alexa asked in confusion. Terrence¡¯s expression did not change as he said in a low voice, ¡°Drink it directly.¡± Alexa suspected that she had misheard. But she still held his wrist slightly and took a small sip. The soup was light and sweet. ¡°Is it good?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± ¡°I know you have a sweet tooth. So, I added more sugar,¡± Terrence said. Then, he served arge bowl for Alexa. ¡°Drink it. Be careful. It¡¯s hot.¡± After saying this, Terrence took off his apron. ¡°I¡¯m going to take a shower. You should rest early after you drink.¡¯ ¡°Yes, thank you.¡± When he heard Alexa say thank you to him, Terrence paused for a moment. A few secondster, he became cold and serious again. Alexa sat alone at the table and sipped the soup Terrence made. She felt less cold than before, and her heart was also warm. Thinking of something, Alexa suddenly stopped. Terrence might have made soup for Brynlee many times. However, even if it was such a trifle, she had waited for three years. Alexa¡¯s eyes were bright with sad tears. Right now, she couldn¡¯tst long¡­ Terrence¡¯s softness to her came toote. Alexa endured her sadness and gulped the remaining soup. Then, she got up and went to the room. Aron had only prepared for them a master bedroom, but Alexa was certain that Terrence would not stay there. The sound of water in the bathroom finally stopped, and Terrence came out in a ck nightgown. He wiped his wet hair while looking at Alexa who was on the bed. Alexa could feel that Terrence had been staring at her. But she still asked, ¡°Are you going to sleep here tonight?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Terrence replied indifferently. Alexa quickly epted the fact and obediently moved to the side. After Terrence dried his hair, he turned off the light andy down beside Alexa. The bed was big. But when the two of them shared it, Alexa felt that it became small. Shey with her back to Terrence and held her breath all the time, not daring to make any noise. On this cloudy night, this was one of the few times that they shared the same bed. Terrence suddenly said, ¡°Are you very nervous?¡± Alexa¡¯s thin body obviously trembled. ¡°No. I¡¯m just not sleepy,¡± Alexa exined. They had been living together for so many years after all. Terrence knew what Alexa was thinking in her heart. In the silent night, Terrence¡¯s eyes were as cold as stars, revealing a faint softness. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. But Aron has been watching us all this time. If he finds that we sleep in separate rooms, he will definitely tell my parents,¡± Terrence said calmly. Alexa had never thought about this reason, and had not rejected him because of it. There was movement beside her. Alexa immediately panicked. Was Terrence leaving? ¡°Don¡¯t get me wrong!¡± Alexa cried out anxiously, subconsciously grabbing his hand. Feeling her delicate and cold hands, Terrence paused for a moment. He just wanted to turn over¡­ ¡°I¡­ I don¡¯t hate you,¡± Alexa stammered. She hated him? Terrence did not speak, quietly listening to her. ¡°I¡¯m not trying to chase you away. I just¡­¡± This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . ¡°Just what?¡± ¡°I just¡­¡± What was Alexa hiding from him? Terrence quickly turned over. In the blink of an eye, he trapped Alexa between his knees. He propped himself up and looked down at Alexa from above. ¡°Just what? Tell me.¡± Terrence¡¯s attitude hardened, and he even threatened Alexa. Alexa was even more guilty¡­ ¡°I just don¡¯t want to drag you down.¡±. As soon as Alexa finished speaking, Terrence suddenly chuckled, his eyes shing. ¡°How did you drag me down?¡± They were so close that Alexa could even smell faint alcohol on his body. Thinking of the wine that Aron had brought, Alexa¡¯s expression instantly became a little strange. It was all Aron¡¯s fault for saying that the wine could improve men¡¯s sexual ability. Now, those words, which made her shy and awkward, upied her mind. ¡°Did you drink?¡± Alexa¡¯s voice trembled slightly, and she wished she could escape from there immediately. After a moment of silence, Terrence raised his hand and patted her forehead. ¡°What are you thinking? Idiot!¡± Terrence said with a slight smile, ¡°I didn¡¯t drink Aron¡¯s wine.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t think about that,¡± Alexa argued stubbornly. ¡°Alright.¡± Terrence got up and left her body, saying softly, ¡°Go to sleep.¡± Theyy down again, but Alexa could not fall asleep. Terrencey beside her, which made her heartbeat unable to steady. ¡°Terrence¡­ are you asleep?¡± Alexa asked carefully. Chapter 97 Chapter 97 Chapter 97 You Want Me to Try It Again? ¡°What is wrong?¡± ¡°I am a little cold. So, I¡­¡± Before Alexa finished speaking, there was a sudden rustle behind her. A few secondster, she froze. Feeling the arm around her waist and the warm chest on her back, Alexa went nk. Terrence¡­ hugged her? She had just intended to get out of bed and drink a cup of hot water. However, Terrence did not let go of her, even buried his head in her neck, and rubbed against it. ¡°Are you still cold?¡± ¡°No¡­¡± Alexa thought anxiously in her heart, that is not what I meant! But she was extremely greedy for Terrence¡¯s embrace. Alexa pleaded inside, Terrence, just hug me like this. Whether it¡¯s one minute or five minutes¡­ Before I leave this world, can you hug me well? Alexa silently opened her mouth, and her eyes were misted with tears. She ced her hand on Terrence¡¯s arm and spoke in a hoarse voice. ¡°I feel much better. Thank you.¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Terrence answered gently, ¡°go to sleep.¡± With such a close distance between them, Alexa was at ease and felt sleepy soon. Early the next morning, she maintained her posturest night when she woke up, but Terrence was not by her side. Alexa immediately sobered up and turned to look around. Azy ck figure leaned beside her and stared at her with a faint smile. Terrence had just taken a shower, and his unique smell became clearer. He looked soft and gentle in the morning. Alexa instantly came back to her senses and hid her surprise just now. However, Terrence had already seen all of her emotions. ¡°Who are you looking for?¡± He deliberately teased. ¡°No one.¡± Seeing her ears redden, Terrence continued in a good mood, ¡°Someone sleeps sprawled all over the bed, like a moving hamster.¡± A moving hamster¡­ What kind of description was this? ¡°Sorry.¡± Alexa blushed and did not dare to look up at him. Terrence got up and took a suit from the wardrobe. ¡°Be careful next time,¡± he said lightly. Alexa just felt that these words were more alluring than any love words in the world. While she was in a daze, Terrence had already taken off his nightgown as if no one else was there. Alexa nced at his brown skin from the corner of her eyes and immediately blushed. She quickly lowered her head and jogged to the bathroom. Terrence saw her actions and couldn¡¯t help butugh. After getting along with Alexa for two days, Terrence found that Alexa was elegant and dignified in front of outsiders, but was very cute in private. Whether she was angry or shy, she was very cute. Realizing that his thoughts were wandering, Terrence immediately came to his senses. After changing his clothes, he sat on the sofa and waited for Alexa to dress up. Just as Alexa washed up and came out, she noticed Terrence at a nce.. He was wearing a dark grey striped suit made to order today, which set his noble and mature temperament off to the extreme. Terrence put down the coffee and gave her a look. ¡°The clothes are ready.¡± He arranged it in an orderly way. ¡°The essories are on the makeup table, and the shoes are at the door.¡± Being especially concerned by him, Alexa was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor. She walked to the bed and saw the dress that Terrence had prepared for her. There was steel gray coat and other matching clothes. As soon as Alexa nced at them, she had a question in her mind. Was this a couple¡¯s outfit for them? But she didn¡¯t dare to ask Terrence. So, she could only change her clothes as he requested. After dressing up, Alexa stood in front of Terrence with a new look. Terrence took a closer look and nodded. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go.¡± Although Terrence didn¡¯t show it on his face, he felt happy in his heart. If he had a daughter in his life, he would dress her up so patiently and carefully. After opening the door, Terrence became indifferent and cold again. Ruben led a group of attendants and respectfully guarded the door. Seeing theme out, Ruben immediately greeted them. ¡°The car is ready. Please.¡± Seeing that there seemed to be a few fewer people, Alexa was curious. She asked, ¡°Where is Mr. Lambert?¡± Hearing this, ¡®Ruben forced a fake smile. No one knew which remote area Aron was on his way to¡­ ¡°He¡­¡± Before Ruben could finish his words, Terrence had pulled Alexa over with a sullen face. ¡°He has his own matters to attend to.¡± Terrence asked coldly, ¡°Why are you concerned about him?¡± Alexa looked up at him, feeling strange. At that moment, Terrence gave Ruben a cold look. Ruben immediately understood what he meant andughed in embarrassment. ¡°Yes, Alexa. Don¡¯t worry about him.¡± Hearing Ruben call Alexa so intimately, Terrence gave him another look of anger. Ruben immediately shut up. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. This was the end of the matter. Alexa knew that it was Terrence¡¯s intention, but she did not ask any more questions. After they got in the car, the driver drove to Mirror Lake Manor. The road twisted and turned. Besides, she had gotten up early. So, Alexa was soon sleepy. However, Terrence sat upright beside her. Alexa only dared to sneak a nap. A momentter, Alexa felt that she was covered in something. She suddenly woke up, and Terrence¡¯s hand paused in the air. Then, as if nothing had happened, he covered Alexa with the nket in his hand. ¡°Sleep,¡± Terrence said softly. Alexa felt embarrassed when Terrence caught her dozing. She immediately sat up straight and said firmly, ¡°I¡¯m not sleepy.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Terrence¡¯s eyes shed. He opened his mouth. ¡°Liar.¡± Alexa was at a loss for words. She grabbed the nket. It was so soft and made her sleepier. Terrence turned the heat up and asked, ¡°Did I disturb youst night?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the car jerked to a halt. Alexa instantly sobered up. Terrence frowned, and his face darkened. The driver was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He trembled and said, ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Mrs. Ramsey, the traffic lights are on red.¡± Alexa understood why the driver was so scared. After all, what Terrence had just said was indeed terrifying. ¡°You did not disturb me,¡± Alexa said primly and looked calm, ¡°not at all.¡± The more she tried to exin, the more she was exposed. ¡°I think so too. You slept very well.¡± Terrence nodded. Alexa felt that she couldn¡¯tmunicate with him normally! ¡°You don¡¯t seem to believe me. Do you want me to try it again?¡± Terrence asked. Chapter 98 Chapter 98 Chapter 98 I Might As Well Just Die ¡°No! I don¡¯t have any objections!¡± Alexa hurriedly shook her head and sat upright. Terrence snorted and leaned back in his seat, closing his eyes to rest.. Seeing that he was asleep, Alexa soon closed her eyes quietly as well. When Alexa woke up again, the driver just stopped the car at the entrance of the manor. The door was open. Terrence stood outside the car and seemed to try to bend over and take something. When he saw Alexa open her eyes in a daze, a trace of pity shed through his eyes. Why did she wake up now? Alexa looked at Terrence in confusion. Terrence immediately got up and walked away. ¡°Let¡¯s go in,¡± he said lightly. Alexa suddenly felt a sense of joy in her heart. She got out of the car in a good mood. After knowing that she had nothing to do, she happily went to her room to catch up on sleep. Terrence had caught a fish for her before and kept it in the pond. When he cooked at noon, he picked it up and made soup. At the mountainside, a luxurious Bentley scorched off down the road. Brynlee sat in the back seat with a gloomy face and looked coldly at the scenery outside the window. She was not in the mood to appreciate it at all. The anger in her heart was getting stronger. Two days had passed! She had tried her best to inquire about Terrence and only found out today that he hade for a vacation with Alexa! It was interesting that Terrence hid this from her. Since Terrence was interested in Alexa, why didn¡¯t he dare to tell her? The more Brynlee thought about it, the angrier she became. She directly roared, ¡°Drive faster! I must catch them today!¡± When Alexa woke up, Terrence had served thest dish. She was about to sit down when someone knocked on the door. Terrence nced coldly at the door. Alexa immediately put down the tableware and trotted over. As soon as she slightly opened the door, Alexa saw the beautiful figure. Brynlee also saw Alexa and kicked the door. Alexa could not dodge in time, and the door hit her face. However, from a different perspective, it was as if she had identally bumped into it. Brynlee walked into the room. She looked at Terrence with a bright smile andined tenderly, ¡°Terrence, you came on vacation without me!¡± Terrence calmly put down his fork and stared at Alexa. Alexa was hit just now, and her forehead was swollen. But she didn¡¯t say anything and just silently stood aside, watching them chatting. Brynlee didn¡¯t pay any attention to Alexa and threw herself into Terrence¡¯s arms. ¡°Terrence, I miss you so much!¡± Brynlee said aggrievedly, ¡°My father came to see me these days when you were away.¡± ¡°Did he still want to take you back?¡± Terrence casually asked. He pushed Brynlee away indifferently and walked towards Alexa. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. When Brynlee saw this, she immediately followed behind him. Brynlee even held Terrence¡¯s arm, silently unting her status. Terrence walked to Alexa¡¯s side. He nced at the servant and said in a displeased tone, ¡°What are you doing? Hurry up and get the medical kit!¡± Hearing his words, Alexa said in a cold tone, ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Seeing the interaction between the two with her own eyes, Brynlee hated Alexa very much in her heart. But she pretended to care about Alexa and asked, ¡°Oh my! Alexa, how did you get injured? You are too careless.¡± Alexa nced at Brynlee with cold eyes, her face full of hostility. Even Terrence¡¯s expression became somewhat cold. After the servant brought the medical kit, Brynlee hurriedly took it. ¡°Let me apply the medicine for you.¡± It was obvious that Brynlee was not with the best of intentions. ¡°No need.¡± Alexa coldly refused. Brynlee acted as if she hadn¡¯t heard what Alexa said and stabbed the cotton swab dipped in medicine on Alexa¡¯s face. ¡°How is it? Are you feeling better?¡± Brynlee secretly pressed hard as she softly instructed the servant, ¡°Alexa¡¯s face is swollen. Hurry up and get the ice bag.¡± The servant did not dare to disobey Brynlee and immediately took the things she wanted. Terrence looked at them and kept frowning. ¡°Wait¡­¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Brynlee pressed the ice bag in her hand tightly onto Alexa¡¯s forehead. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Terrence?¡± Brynlee asked innocently. Terrence ignored her but looked at Alexa. ¡°How do you feel?¡± Alexa had a poor constitution. She would have a severe reaction if she got cold. What was more, Brynlee pressed the ice bag on her forehead rudely. Alexa was now extremely dizzy. ¡°I¡¯m fine¡­¡± Alexa pretended to be strong and waved her hand in a daze. ¡°I¡¯m d that you¡¯re fine.¡± Brynlee silently sneered, threw the ice bag away, and weakly threw herself into Terrence¡¯s arms. ¡°Terrence, my hands are so cold. Can you warm them up for me?¡± Terrence looked at Alexa hesitantly and finally held Brynlee¡¯s hand. ¡°Alexa¡­¡± Before he could finish his words, Alexa got up with a cold face and walked towards the second floor. She wasn¡¯t in the mood to see them acting here. As she stepped on the stairs, Alexa staggered. But she stubbornly grabbed the handrail and moved up step by step. She straightened her back and didn¡¯t show any weakness in front of them. Terrence looked at Alexa¡¯s stubborn figure, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart. Brynlee was still making a fuss in front of him. Terrence suddenly became a little angry. ¡°Stop arguing. You haven¡¯t told me why you¡¯re here,¡± he said with a dark face. ¡°Why can¡¯t Ie here?¡± Brynlee was also unhappy and asked, ¡°Are you trying to hide something from me?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t bully her. She is very weak.¡± When she heard Terrence personally say this, Brynlee felt that it was inconceivable. Sheughed in her exasperation and looked ferocious. ¡°So, you don¡¯t care about me, right?¡±! ¡°Why are you saying this?¡± Terrence walked towards the stairs. He had clearly run out of patience on this topic. ¡°Ms. Walton!¡± The servant cried out in horror. Terrence immediately turned around. When he saw what happened, he panicked. Brynlee pressed the knife against her neck, her face full of tears. ¡°Terrence, do you want me to die in front of you?¡± ¡°What are you saying?¡± Terrence¡¯s attitude instantly changed, and he became gentle. ¡°Put down the knife first. Calm down and let¡¯s talk about it.¡± ¡°Nobody in the world loves me except you. Since that¡¯s the case, I might as well just die!¡± Brynlee was a smart woman. She knew Terrence must have seen that she had just targeted Alexa. If she didn¡¯t make the situation worse, Terrence¡¯s attention would still be on that bitch. ¡°Put the knife down!¡± Terrence repeated with an ashen face. Brynlee¡¯s eyes hardened. She gritted her teeth and raised her hand, waving the knife. Her delicate neck was immediately covered in dark red blood. Terrence could not care about Alexa anymore and directly rushed over to hug Brynlee. ¡°Brynlee!¡± Chapter 99 Chapter 99 Chapter 99 What Is the Matter? Terrence hurriedly pulled out the cotton ball from the medicine box and pressed it on Brynlee¡¯s neck. The entire hall was a mess. The driver had prepared a car. Terrence immediately rushed out with Brynlee in his arms. Alexa hid in the room upstairs and had no idea what was going on downstairs. Her thin body waspletely wrapped in the quilt, and her temperature was frighteningly high. She had taken quite a few of the pills that Kieran had given her, but this time, they were not effective. Alexa trembled as she took out the thermometer from her bag and put it under her armpit. However, she tried more than a dozen times to finish such a simple action. Her temperature was high. Besides, even her breathing became difficult. Alexa couldn¡¯t endure it anymore. She turned over and fell from the bed. She bent down and moved to the door. ¡°Excuse me, is anyone here?¡± The servants who were cleaning happened to pass by her room, and they all heard Alexa¡¯s voice, but no one paid her any attention. The woman in the lead looked at Alexa with disdain and mocked Alexa mercilessly. ¡°You shamelessly begged Mr. Ramsey to marry you. Do you think you are Mrs. Ramsey?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. How can you be so unashamed?¡± the other echoed. ¡°Mr. Ramsey loves Ms. Walton, but you dared to hurt her like that. Just wait to be taught a lesson!¡± Alexa wondered, what did I do to Brynlee? Alexapletely did not understand what they were talking about, and her current situation was very bad, so she was unable to argue with them. ¡°Please tell Terrence toe over.¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey isn¡¯t home. What¡¯s the matter this time? You Jinx!¡± The woman in front of Alexa gnashed her teeth and cursed. Without waiting for Alexa to answer, she asked everyone to leave. Alexa had no choice but to manage to return to her room and call Terrence. Alexa thought, please answer my call even if you are having a romantic time with Brynlee. The only person she could rely on was Terrence. Alexa was extremely expectant in her heart, and at the same time, she was extremely terrified. After the phone rang for more than ten seconds, it was picked up. ¡°Terrence.¡± ¡°I¡¯m busy right now. If there¡¯s anything you need help with, you can ask the servants to help you.¡± Terrence seemed to be talking about business. As soon as he finished speaking, he hung up the phone and did not give Alexa a chance to speak. Hearing the busy tone from the other side of the line, Alexa was stunned. She could only call that man. At this moment, Kieran was giving an academic lecture at New York University. After receiving Alexa¡¯s call, he immediately stopped his lecture, leaving behind a group of experts and hurriedly walking out of the venue. Seeing this, Brayan Costa, Kieran¡¯s assistant, quickly followed behind. It was the first time he saw Kieran have such a serious expression. Did something happen to his family? Kieran hung up the phone. Brayan immediately asked, ¡°Mr. Powell, what¡¯s going on?¡± This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . Kieran quickly walked into the elevator to the rooftop and ordered in a clear voice. ¡°Immediately arrange for a helicopter to take me to Mirror Lake Manor!¡± Alexa took some first aid measures ording to Kieran¡¯s words. She tried hard to control her breathing and shrank in the quilt with extreme insecurity, silently enduring the torture of illness. It would be good if she could make it through this. Alexa clenched her teeth and closed her eyes. Not long after, she heard the rumble of the propeller stirring the air. Was she dreaming? Was Terrence back? The rumble was getting closer and closer to her, and Alexa was even certain that Terrence was at the entrance of the manor. Soon, the door to her room suddenly opened. Even at that moment, Alexa didn¡¯t want to show her weakness. She used all her strength to prop herself up, but her vision became more and more blurred, and finally, she fell heavily again. In the chaos, Alexa saw a figure rushing toward her. Then she was picked up and fell into a warm embrace. Although Alexa was about to faint, she still remembered Terrence¡¯s characteristics. There was no unique fragrance from this embrace, so this person was not Terrence. Seeing that Alexa was in an extremely terrible state, Kieran was angry and distressed. Alexa was his patient, and Kieran was confident that he could cure her, but now, he could only watch Alexa¡¯s condition deteriorate day by day. She was a living person. How could Terrence be so cruel to her? ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. It¡¯s fine¡­¡± ¡°You¡¯re here.¡± Alexa forced a bitter smile and then passed out in Kieran¡¯s arms. Kieran immediately carried her out the door, but the servants just now blocked the door. ¡°Where are you taking her?¡± The woman said arrogantly, ¡°Without Mr. Ramsey¡¯s order, she can¡¯t go anywhere.¡± Although it was absurd for Kieran to rush over from far away and carry this married woman away, as Kieran¡¯s assistant, Brayan would help Kieran do what he wanted to do. ¡°We¡¯re from the hospital,¡± Brayan said as he showed the certificate to them. ¡°What¡¯s more, thisdy is in critical condition and needs immediate rescue.¡± ¡°This has nothing to do with us. We can¡¯t let her run away with another man!¡± ¡°I¡¯m Kieran, a cardiovascr surgeon at St. Paolo Hospital. Let Mr. Ramsey contact me.¡± Kieran¡¯s eyes were calm and icy. The smile at the corner of his mouth was mocking and cold. ¡°I¡¯ll say it onest time. Move aside.¡± At that moment, Kieran was managing to suppress his anger. He was gentle and humble to everyone, but that did not mean that he was weak. Pa Harvey and the other servants realized that this person did not seem to be easy to deal with. Everyone looked at each other and dodged aside in unison without speaking. Kieran immediately carried Alexa into the helicopter and went directly to St. Paolo Hospital. As soon as they left, Pa¡¯s arrogance immediately came back. ¡°Isn¡¯t he just the other man? Why is he so cocky?¡± With a livid face, she cursed and indignantly dialed Terrence¡¯s number. At that moment, Terrence had just sent Brynlee into the operating room and happened to be free. When he saw that it was another call from the manor, he immediately felt that it was from Alexa, and his attitude instantly became much more patient. Unexpectedly, after the phone was connected, he found it was Pa. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, that¡¯s outrageous! Mrs. Ramsey ran away with a man in front of everyone!¡± ¡°We can¡¯t stop them. That man is very arrogant. He went straight into the house to pick up Mrs. Ramsey and even wanted to beat us!¡± Pa exaggerated the details, and Terrence¡¯s face became sullen. ¡°Who is he?¡± he asked coldly. ¡°He said he was Kieran.¡± When he heard this name, Terrence was burning with hatred. His expression was fierce and cold. He had only left for a short while, and Alexa dared to openly hang out with Kieran. Terrence¡¯s rationality was instantly devoured, and he drove to the Powell family in a rage. Chapter 100 Chapter 100 Chapter 100 Be Part of the Powell Family Bart had been resting at home since the surgeryst month. When Terrence angrily came to the Powell¡¯s house, they happened to meet. ¡°Terrence? Is there something urgent I can help with?¡± Bart asked. This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . ¡°It¡¯s urgent, but I came looking for Kieran.¡± Kieran was Bart¡¯s eldest son. Terrence¡¯s reply confused Bart even more. Kieran devoted himself to the studies of medicine so much that he even refused to take over the company when he returned home. Bart wondered, how could he have time to see Terrence, let alone upset him? Terrence sat down in front of Bart with a cold expression and poured himself a cup of coffee. ¡°Kieran spent quite arge sum. Haven¡¯t you heard of that, Mr. Powell?¡± Bart was sophisticated. When he heard Terrence¡¯s angry words, he still maintained calm as usual. ¡°Terrence, why don¡¯t you just enlighten me? If anything is troubling you, we can talk.¡± ¡°Your son came to my ce and took my wife away. How do you think this matter should be handled, Mr. Powell?¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes were cold, and he gave a frightening sneer. Bart¡¯s face darkened. He instantly pped the table and jumped to his feet. ¡°Ron, call Kieran back immediately!¡± ¡°Yes, Mr. Powell,¡± Ron Dunn said. ¡°For your sake, I will forgive him as long as he brings my wife back to me,¡± Terrence said coldly. He was born with this overpowering aura, and now the atmosphere was very tense. Bart was livid as he called Kieran. He had thought that Kieran was more mature than his siblings and already outgrew such folly. Kieran brought disgrace to the family with this! ¡°What did you say? In the hospital?¡± Terrence immediately stood up and left when he heard Bart snap. ¡°Damn it! You went too far!¡± Bart roared hysterically. Then he panted and gritted his teeth. ¡°Get your ass back here right now!¡± A few minutester, Terrence stepped on the elerator and sped down the mountain road, gripping the steering wheel tightly, with his face livid. He had sent people all over the city to look for Alexa, and Alexa was actually in the hospital. Terrence was so mad that he was getting out of control. His Bugatti La Voiture Noire swooshed downtown and grabbed everyone¡¯s attention. Terrence¡¯s sharp eyes spotted the iing silver-gray Aston Martin. When the two cars passed by each other in the middle of the intersection, Terrence shot Kieran a fierce nce, and in the blink of an eye, Terrence¡¯s Bugatti turned away. Kieran reacted quickly and turned to the side. A soul-stirring screech rang out, and the two cars pulled over in the middle of the intersection. The traffic lights turned green, but none of the other cars moved. Terrence pushed open the car door and got off to confront him. Kieran was not to be outdone. He calmly stood by the car and looked into Terrence¡¯s eyes. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, if you don¡¯t know the rules, I can teach you.¡± Terrence gritted his teeth and grabbed Kieran by the cor. ¡°Kieran, you are risking your neck by doing this.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not,¡± Kieran said. Kieran looked at him calmly, as he held Terrence¡¯s wrist. Although Kieran looked like a refined and noble man, his strength was greater than many strong men. Terrence did not have any physical advantage during the conflict. ¡°I took her away. You are a man. Come at me when you¡¯re mad. Don¡¯t hurt her,¡± Kieran said word by word, looking at Terrence with disgust and disdain in his eyes. ¡°Mr. Powell, save this hypocritical talk for someone else.¡± Terrence narrowed his eyes with killing intent and added, ¡°She¡¯s my wife. She doesn¡¯t need care from another man.¡± After saying that, Terrence shook off Kieran¡¯s hand in disgust and took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands. Kieran wasn¡¯t bothered by this extremely provocative action. ¡°Fine,¡± Kieran said indifferently. Then he turned around, got into the car, and left. When Terrence arrived at the hospital, Alexa was already out of the intensive care unit. At the moment, she was sitting on the bed and having the oatmeal porridge that the nurse had just brought over. It was not as delicious as the food at home, but she was exhausted and had not eaten for a whole day. Alexa wondered if Terrence knew that she was in the hospital now. ¡°He might still be with Brynlee now, right,¡± Alexa mumbled. The soft and sweet oatmeal porridge became tasteless when she thought of that. Alexa was about to put the bowl down when the door was suddenly kicked open. When Alexa saw the tall and gloomy figure, her face turned pale. It was Terrence! She wondered, how could he know that I¡¯m in the hospital? Alexa opened her mouth, but she was too shocked to ask. Clearly, she was very sick, but in front of Terrence, she had to try her best to pretend that nothing had happened. Seeing the bandage on her forehead, Terrence frowned with an unfathomable look in his eyes. Alexa looked up and forced a smile. ¡°How did you know that I¡¯m here?¡± she asked softly. She thought that Terrence would respond to her in a gentle and soft voice as he did a few days ago. Alexa even recalled his surprisingly gentle smile at that time. But Terrence did not smile. He had a cold and terrifying look on his face. He suddenly knocked over the bowl in her hand. The oatmeal sshed a little on the back of her hand. Alexa¡¯s fair and tender skin instantly became red and swollen. The ss bowl smashed into the wall and made a terrible mess. Terrence stared fixedly at her, without the slightest bit of emotion in his eyes. ¡°Why are you doing this?¡± Alexa asked patiently, suppressing her anger. ¡°Your injury is so serious that you need toe to the hospital. But didn¡¯t you tell you it was okay?¡± Terrence responded to her with an indifferent question. Now, he was about to explode. He might say something worse to Alexa when he was that angry. He thought he was very nice to Alexa. Terrence always gave whatever she wanted and followed her wishes. Even if they were to divorce, he was willing to spend time teaching her how to gain a foothold in this. world. Terrence even decided to help her for the rest of her life. But in his opinion, Alexa never showed any gratitude to him. ¡°What did you say?¡± Alexa asked in a daze, and the smile on her face faded. ¡°I met Kieran on the way.¡± Terrence sneered and stared at Alexa. ¡°What do you give me that look? Did I know that I shouldn¡¯t?¡± ¡°I called him, so he came and picked me up,¡± Alexa said honestly. Terrence became livid with rage, and then he red at her. ¡°Alexa, you are really amazing. You¡¯re not content with being Mrs. Ramsey. Are you thinking about bing part of the Powell family behind my back?¡± Terrence mocked. ¡°No, never!¡± Alexa replied. Terrence pulled over a chair and sat down. He looked at her calmly. ¡°He cares about you. He told me not to me you.¡± Terrence suddenly chuckled, as if he had just told a very funny joke. ¡°It¡¯s not his ce to tell me that, you know.¡± Chapter 101 Chapter 101 Chapter 101 The Sleepless Crabapple Flowers Terrence finished speaking, and Alexa¡¯s face was terribly pale. ¡°That¡¯s impossible. He couldn¡¯t have said that!¡± Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. ¡°Impossible?¡± Terrence said ruthlessly and suddenly pinched her jaw. ¡°Kieran said it word by word. What reason do you have not to believe me? Continue to smile for him! There¡¯s no need to act in front of me!¡± Alexa was forced to lift her head and look at him. Her eyes were constantly red, but she refused to let her tears fall. Terrence never believed her every time they quarreled. No matter how she argued, he stood firm, unwilling to believe a word she said! ¡°OK then. Suit yourself.¡± Alexa said in exhaustion, obviously not wanting to continue the meaningless conversation. Neither of them was calm. They would both be hurt and hate each other more if this continued. ¡°I have to recuperate in the hospital recently, so I won¡¯t go back.¡± Alexay down on the bed with her back to Terrence, forcing herself to control her breathing. She felt so unwell right now, but she had been enduring. Terrence was getting more furious. He stood by Alexa¡¯s bed and spoke in an extremely cold voice. ¡°Come again?¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, you may either tie me up or drag me back. Do as you please.¡± ¡°Do you think that you can stand up to me just because you have interacted with Kieran a few times?¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes were utterly cold. ¡°Alexa, I warned you long ago.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need for me to argue with you. Whatever you think. That¡¯s it.¡± As soon as Alexa finished speaking, Terrence immediately walked toward the door without looking back and mmed the door shut. She heard a loud bang, and her thin body trembled slightly. She thought of these peaceful days together with Terrence and felt like it was nothing but a dream. She couldn¡¯t keep any of it. Alexay quietly on the bed and soon fell asleep. When she woke up, she happened to see a nurse taking off the IV drip on the iron bar. ¡°How do you feel?¡± the nurse asked gently. ¡°My waist hurts a bit.¡± Alexa held her forehead in a daze. ¡°Excuse me, what time is it now?¡± ¡°It¡¯s four in the morning. Do you need a painkiller injection from Dr. Powell?¡± the nurse asked softly. ¡°No need.¡± Alexa shook her head and gradually became less sleepy. ¡°Thank you.¡± After the nurse left, the ward fell even quieter. All around her was empty as if a nightmare had taken hold. Alexa turned on the night light and walked to the window under the soft light. The courtyard downstairs of the hospital was nted with a brilliant field of crabapple flowers. The distant horizon had already revealed a ray of morning light, gently spreading across the sky. The crabapple flowers had yet to fall asleep, and a new day was about to begin. Alexa silently sighed and returned to bed. It seemed that Terrence didn¡¯te back. Not long after, the nufse from before came back in again. ¡°Ms. Duran, you haven¡¯t slept yet?¡± ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°Dr. Powell prescribed a painkiller injection for you. I¡¯ll help you inject it now.¡± ¡°Dr. Powell is still in the hospital?¡± After asking, Alexa lifted her clothes. ¡°Yes. I think it¡¯s because of you,¡± the nurse smiled slightly and meaningfully. ¡°When Dr. Powell sent you to the hospital, it was the first time I saw him so nervous.¡± After that, the nurse stuck a sharp needle into Alexa¡¯s back. The pain spiked in an instant as the cold fluid poured into her veins. Alexa nearly copsed on the bed. She tried her best to endure the pain. ¡°Rest well. Dr. Powell wille for rounds in two hours.¡± ¡°OK. Thank you.¡± Alexay down again, while her heart was a mess. For the first time, she doubted Terrence¡¯s words. Kieran had no reason to do this for her. Alexa tossed and turned, and finally, it was dawn. It was 6 o¡¯clock after she finished washing up. The door was immediately knocked on. ¡°Come in.¡± Kieran and a few doctors came in together. ¡°Did you have a good sleepst night? How do you feel?¡± Kieran asked with a smile. ¡°Much better now. Thank you, Dr. Powell.¡± As soon as Kieran walked to her bedside, Alexa immediately smelt the male perfume from him. And there was more¡­ Alexa was very sensitive to smell. Soon enough, she smelt medicine from him as well. Before she came back to her senses, Kieran had already put his palm on the back of Alexa¡¯s waist, massaging her orderly. It was the first time she had ever had such intimate contact with a man other than Terrence. Alexa¡¯s body tightened, and even her breathing became nervous. Kieran was a top doctor, and he sensed her nervousness in an instant. ¡°Rx. Don¡¯t be nervous,¡± he said gently. ¡°Oh¡­ OK.¡± Alexa finally managed to calm her breathing. Kieran suddenly pressed his fingers on the back of her waist with force. ¡°It hurts¡­¡± She subconsciously frowned, her voice soft. Terrence happened to enter the room, and he heard her voice clearly. Seeing the man standing in front of her bed, Terrence pulled a long face. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Terrence shouted in a low voice, extremely displeased. Hearing his voice, Kieran closed his eyes deeply, his eyes obscure. ¡°Routine check,¡± Kieran said coldly. Alexa adjusted her clothes and did not say anything. Terrence thought, you two have a great connection indeed. Terrence sneered coldly, and he was overwhelmed by rage again. ¡°What did you check? Tell me.¡± Hearing Terrence¡¯s words, Kieran calmly looked at Alexa. ¡°I¡¯ll get the results back to youter. No one else will know.¡± ¡°Thank you, Dr. Powell.¡± Terrence thought, why is Alexa smiling at Kieran? I¡¯m standing right here. How dare she? Terrence was furious. Seeing Alexa¡¯s smile, he had the urge to pounce at Kieran and tear Kieran¡¯s hypocritical smile into pieces. ¡°We¡¯ll go to the next patient now. Have a good rest. If anything happens, contact me at once.¡± ¡°OK.¡± Alexa insisted on getting out of bed and sent Kieran and the others to the door. The door was closed again, and her smile immediately faded. Terrence was still standing in situ. When Alexa walked past him, he immediately grabbed her wrist without a word. She only used a second to collect herself. Then she looked down and saw the white roses in his other hand. ¡°Oh, are you here to see Brynlee?¡± Alexa nced at him with clear eyes. ¡°I¡¯m afraid you are in the wrong ce. She is not here.¡± Terrence looked at her coldly. There was no smile in his eyes. ¡°I¡¯ve said that Brynlee is not here,¡± Alexa smiled and repeated it word by word. Chapter 102 Chapter 102 Chapter 102 You Want More Money, Right? Hearing that, Terrence suddenly threw the flowers in his hand into the trash can. He grabbed her with extra force and pulled her over in a ruthless manner. ¡°Isn¡¯t it natural for a doctor to exin the patient¡¯s situation to her family? Why did he What was wrong with him?¡± Terrence¡¯s tone was very aggressive. Hearing him talk about Kieran using such a tone, Alexa was a little unhappy. ¡°I told him not to tell you. Is there a problem?¡± She defended another man in front of him as if she was protecting that man. Seeing that, Terrence was so angered that he grinned. ¡°Why did you do that?¡± Thest bit of patience that Terrence had was gone. ¡°Why should he tell my family?¡± Alexa tilted her head, looking innocent. ¡°My family is long gone, including my brother.¡± Her voice was not loud, but every word she said stabbed Terrence¡¯s heart. He thought, Alexa, though you have no one to rely on, you can be as annoying as you want! Terrence was furious, and his heart kept beating faster. He thought, I have been so powerful for so many years. I pretty much rule the world. I can decide one¡¯s life and death without blinking. Alexa is the only one that can affect my mood. I skipped the transnational meeting to customize the nutritional recipes for her and even stayed up all night, trying to figure out what she likes. Why? Just to torture myself? Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! ¡°One night in a ce like this is enough. Come back with me.¡± The more maniptive Terrence was, the more Alexa had to fight it. She frowned and said in a distant voice. ¡°Let go. I won¡¯t go with you.¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to stay in the hospital until I recover.¡± Terrence gritted his teeth. Seeing her cold expression, he finally agreed. ¡°How long exactly will that be?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know. It¡¯s up to the doctor.¡± ¡°I told you. Don¡¯t use Kieran as your excuse.¡± Terrence¡¯s tone instantly became tough, and rage was flickering in his eyes. ¡°I¡¯m not,¡± Alexa said calmly. Her attitude made him feel like she had sshed his face with cold water. The rage Terrence had was instantly gone. ¡°Alright. Fine.¡± Terrence nodded slightly with a sullen face. Then he suddenly asked, ¡°Have you eaten?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not hungry.¡¯ As soon as Alexa finished speaking, Terrence let go of her hand and walked out. Like a frightened hamster, she hid under her cover again. Not long after, someone knocked on the door again. She thought, what is Terrence up to now? Alexa snapped. ¡°What do you want now?¡± The door lock rang, and the person outside the door poked her head in. ¡°Alexa, it¡¯s me.¡± Hearing the familiar voice, Alexa immediately got up in surprise. ¡°Maeve!¡± Maeve entered enthusiastically and ced the gift boxes in various sizes on the cab at the side. ¡°Why are you hospitalized again? How did you get the wound on your head?¡± Maeve asked with concern. ¡°It was just an ident.¡± Alexa brushed it off. Then she asked with a little doubt, ¡°Maeve, haven¡¯t you been busy recently? Did Terrence ask you toe here?¡± ¡°A friend in the hospital told me. I was just finishing up, so I came to see you.¡± Maeve saw the delicate white roses in the trash can. Her eyes gleamed, and she asked tentatively. ¡°You¡¯re looking at it,¡± Alexa said self-mockingly, pointing at her forehead. ¡°I mean you and Terrence.¡± Maeve¡¯s face turned serious. ¡°I heard Carissa say that you are about to divorce.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a long story, but yes, we¡¯re getting a divorce.¡± ¡°Well, I guess that¡¯s a good thing anyway.¡± Maeve nodded thoughtfully. ¡°You don¡¯t have to suffer in the Ramsey family anymore.¡± They were about to continue chatting when the door to the ward was pushed open again. Terrence came in with some luxurious lunchboxes and looked at the stranger who appeared in the ward in a lukewarm manner. Alexa was about to introduce Maeve, while he had already looked away, unconcerned. Terrence ced the lunchboxes on the table one by one and ced the tableware in front of Alexa. ¡°Eat.¡± Maeve had been sizing Terrence up openly. Maeve had been in showbiz for so many years. She had seen countless top male models and superstars. But when she saw Terrence, Maeve¡¯s eyes lit up, which hadn¡¯t happened for a long time. Terrence¡¯s facial features and body proportions were simply surprisingly perfect. In addition, he was wearing a high-end, custom-made dark gray suit, which made him extremely distant and noble. She thought, what a shame. Such a wless man is in fact a scumbag. Alexa was on a drip, so she couldn¡¯t move around and eat easily. Terrence¡¯s eyes were deep. Just as he was about to raise his hand, Maeve suddenly picked up the tableware. She didn¡¯t want him to have a chance to get close to Alexa. ¡°I¡¯ve got Alexa. Mr. Ramsey, you may go and do your work,¡± Maeve said, trying to drive him away with a fake smile. Terrence withdrew his hand without a trace and calmly tidied up his suit. ¡°Alright. I¡¯lle and see youter,¡± he said to Alexa calmly. ¡°No need. Mr. Ramsey, you don¡¯t have toe here anymore. The two of us will be fine.¡± Maeve immediately refused him. Hearing herst sentence, Terrence frowned. Alexa was eating vegetables like a bunny, not even ncing at him. Terrence knew that he was hated, but when he left, he was still arrogant and cold. ¡°Arrogant and only doing things his own way,¡± Maevemented on Terrence with displeasure. ¡°Other than being good-looking, he has no other merits at all.¡± With Maeve apanying her, Alexa did not take Terrence seriously at all. Alexa took out her phone and skillfully transferred Terrence 30 dors. Terrence quickly replied. Alexa could even picture Terrence¡¯s sullen face. Terrence: ¡°What do you mean?¡± Alexa¡¯s expression did not change. She replied calmly: ¡°I won¡¯t eat your food for free.¡± Terrence: ¡°The servants at home insisted on me bringing it to you. Do you think I did that for you?¡± She thought, really? The servants? Alexa thought for a while and transferred another 30 dors to him. Alexa: ¡°I see. You want more money, right?¡± Seeing the message she sent, Terrence gritted his teeth and threw his phone to the side, no longer replying. Alexa always had countless ways to anger him. Terrence parked the car in the garage of the Hudson Group building and just happened to receive a call from the head of the HR department. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, the chief secretary of the CEO¡¯s office, Alexa, has note to work for a week. Mr. Bradshaw sent me to ask for your opinion.¡± When Jerry Lawson said this, he was very nervous. Jerry thought, Terrence is the spokesperson of ruthlessness in Hudson Group. How dare Alexa, a neer, mess with Terrence? Chapter 103 Chapter 103 Chapter 103 Love Is Never a Necessity to Me ¡°You need to bother me with something like that? Don¡¯t we have rules and regtions?¡± Terrence¡¯s voice was so harsh and cold. Hearing that, Jerry panicked. ¡°I see. I¡¯ll get someone to deal with it immediately.¡± After the call ended, Terrence went to his office with a gloomy face. After he reprimanded Jerry, the HR department became surprisingly efficient. Terrence had just passed by the Secretariat Office, and there was only a cardboard box left on Alexa¡¯s desk. ¡°Take her things to my office. Let here and get them herself.¡± He stood at the door and spoke coldly. Tiana immediately followed his order and carried the box. over. Terrence found it difficult to calm down and do things for an entire morning. When Edwin came in to report, he was so frightened by Terrence¡¯s face that he dared not look up. Edwin thought, s! The couple is quarreling, and we, the workers, are the ones who suffer! Terrence handed the document to Edwin and suddenly asked coldly. ¡°Anything else?¡± Edwin¡¯s back instantly broke out in a cold sweat. He nervously straightened his body. ¡°No, Mr. Ramsey. Mrs. Ramsey did not contact me!¡± Terrence¡¯s face was even more livid. ¡°I¡¯m not asking about her!¡± Terrence gritted his teeth. He shouted coldly, ¡°Get out!¡± ¡°Yes, Mr. Ramsey.¡± Edwin walked quickly to the door. In front of him was not just an exquisite and luxurious door, but a door to freedom! Terrence took the phone and opened the chat interface with Alexa skillfully. There was nothing. She did not text him again. Terrence frowned and provoked her. He texted: ¡°Come and get your things now. I don¡¯t have time to take them home.¡± Terrence believed that he had already shown her a way out clearly. If Alexa relented a little, het would let things slide and even allow her to work in the HR department again. But Alexa didn¡¯t. She was sitting in the hospital¡¯s caf¨¦ with Maeve. When she received Terrence¡¯s message, Alexa did not think about it at all. She directly replied: ¡°Throw them away. I don¡¯t want them.¡± Alexa was already so disappointed in Terrence because of the phone call at the manor, let alone. going to see him at work. She thought, he doesn¡¯t like me anyway. Why should I humiliate myself and be so humble? Seeing Alexa¡¯s reply, Terrence was about to flip out. He thought, how dare she? Terrence texted back: ¡°Do you think I give a shit about your things? You¡¯d bettere now!¡± Alexa thought, it seems that we have reached a consensus. Alexa put her phone down and never texted him back. Maeve stirred her coffee at the side. She saw Kieran walking towards the caf¨¦ from afar. ¡°Dr. Powell!¡± Maeve suddenly spoke up and waved enthusiastically at him. ¡°Come and sit here.¡± Alexa hadn¡¯te back to her senses. She nced at Maeve, a bit frightened, while Kieran had already sat down next to them. ¡°Dr. Powell, what a coincidence.¡± For the first time in her life, Alexa felt a little nervous. She greeted Kieran with an awkward smile. ¡°Indeed. I¡¯m free this afternoon, so I¡¯m here for some coffee.¡± Kieran was as gentle and calm as usual. Maeve¡¯s eyes were very meaningful. It was like they were glued to Kieran. Maeve thought, he is so good-looking! His character is wless! He has a promising career! In short, he is Mr. Perfect! Maeve showed a loving smile on her face, and she nced at Alexa meaningfully. ¡°Dr. Powell, I heard that you are Alexa¡¯s attending doctor.¡± Hearing Maeve¡¯s words, Alexa was stunned. She immediately had a bad feeling. Alexa coughed meaningfully and exined officially, ¡°Yes. I have to thank Dr. Powell for taking care of me these days.¡± ¡°It¡¯s my job. Don¡¯t mention it.¡± Alexa thought, I¡¯m sure Maeve must have misunderstood something again. Feeling helpless, Alexa wished she could drag Maeve out right now. Maeve had been chatting with Kieran for just two minutes, and she had already figured out about Kieran¡¯s family background, hobbies, and social rtionships. Alexa¡¯s fair face was flushed, and she did not dare to look Kieran in the eyes. Kieran patiently answered Maeve¡¯s questions without a trace of dissatisfaction. Not long after, the waiter brought up the drinks they ordered. Kieran subtly nced at the warm milk in front of Alexa, and then the worry in his eyes was gone. Maeve went quiet for a while, which was a rare thing, and Alexa put her guard down. Yet soon after, Maeve suddenly dropped a bomb. ¡°Dr. Powell, do you have a girlfriend?¡± Kieran¡¯s hand that was holding the coffee froze for a second, and in the next second, he calmly replied. ¡°No.¡± ¡°How about I fix you up with someone?¡± Maeve looked very determined. ¡°Maeve¡­¡± Alexa nced at Maeve with embarrassment. However, it seemed that Maeve didn¡¯t understand the meaning of Alexa¡¯s gaze at all. As they continued to chat, there was a sudden burst of noise at the door. Several nurses rushed forward hurriedly pushing a hospital bed. Meanwhile, someone kept shouting to drive the crowd away. ¡°Make way! Doctor!¡± The atmosphere in the hall was instantly filled with panic and helplessness. Alexa subconsciously turned around, and a figure quickly ran past her. Kieran¡¯s figure appeared at the bedside at once. Seeing that, Alexa was no longer flustered. Whenever he took action, it always made her feel a sense of security. ¡°It will be fine. Everything will be fine. Dr. Powell is there. Nothing is going to happen,¡± Alexa murmured. ¡°Alexa, what do you think of Dr. Powell? Not bad, right?¡± Maeve said meaningfully. ¡°Stop fantasizing. Nothing is going to happen between him and me,¡± Alexa said, stopping Maeve from having unrealistic ideas. ¡°How so? Are you two done with love?¡± Maeve said righteously. Then her tone suddenly became domineering. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you still have feelings for Terrence. Has he gotten into you?¡± ¡°Of course not.¡± Alexa denied it and said nothing more. Maeve had been friends with Alexa for enough years to know what Alexa was thinking. Maeve casually stirred her coffee and said slowly without raising her head. ¡°Alexa, don¡¯t be stupid. A man like Terrence doesn¡¯t deserve to stand in your way.¡± ¡°Maeve, don¡¯t worry. I know what to do. Love is never a necessity to me.¡± Alexa¡¯s eyes were utterly calm. She had never dreamed of being loved by Terrence or others. No one would love a dying person unreservedly. After the coffee, Alexa and Maeve chatted for a while. Not long after, Alexa went to the ward alone. The corridor in the afternoon was quiet. When Alexa passed by the nurse station, she identally heard the nurses talking. This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org . ¡°I heard that our hospital is going to be acquired by Hudson Group.¡¯ ¡°The board of directors seemed to have decided to transfer Dr. Powell abroad.¡± ¡°Ah? What does this have to do with Dr. Powell?¡± Chapter 104 Chapter 104 Chapter 104 Something Is Going On Between Them ¡°Maybe he offended someone. After all, we don¡¯t know about the things between the higher-ups.¡± The other lowered her voice mysteriously. ¡°It¡¯s such a pity. Dr. Powell is such a wonderful person. He has a promising future in the country.¡± ¡°If I know who did this to Dr. Powell, I¡¯ll swear at him!¡± Meanwhile, Alexa¡¯s right eyelid twitched violently. She sighed and thought, miseries just keep piling up. She walked over to the nurses with a guilty conscience. Seeing her, they immediately stopped talking and looked at her warmly. ¡°Ms. Duran, did you go out for a walk?¡± ¡°Yes. It¡¯s a fine day,¡± Alexa said while forcing a smile. ¡°Dr. Powell said that you should rx and breathe some fresh air. It¡¯ll help you keep a good mood,¡± the head nurse said gently. ¡°Thank you.¡± Alexa smiled sweetly while feeling more guilty. She thought, sure enough, Terrence has decided to deal with Kieran. No matter what, I won¡¯t let Kieran get implicated because of me. After returning to the ward, Alexa immediately called Terrence. He did not pick up. She tried to call him many times, yet all her calls were cut off by Terrence. Alexa knew Terrence well. The decisions he made could seldom be overturned. She suddenly felt frustrated and began to pack her things quietly. Alexa was about to go get herself discharged when the door was suddenly opened without warning. Brynlee, who was also wearing a hospital gown, came from outside the door. She was without makeup, and her soft ck hair reached her waist. She looked sickly pretty. However, the hatred in Brynlee¡¯s eyes was so obvious. It was like she wished she could kill Alexa right now. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Alexa frowned, and she was cold and indifferent. ¡°Get out.¡± Alexa saw the bandage on Brynlee¡¯s neck, and her eyes flickered slightly. ¡°I heard that you are hospitalized, too. I came to see you.¡± With a face full of disdain and ridicule, Brynlee fixed her cold eyes on Alexa. ¡°Just like that? You think that makes you qualified topete with me? Alexa, you are not ruthless to yourself enough,¡± Brynlee sneered. Alexa suddenly realized something. ¡°Did you do that to yourself?¡± ¡°Yes. Do you know how anxious Terrence was that day? I fell in his arms, and his heart was beating so fast. Well, it was just a superficial wound.¡± Alexa did not care at all about how Brynlee pictured the situation at that time. Alexa suddenly remembered the day. When she called Terrence that day, he should have been by Brynlee¡¯s side. If Kieran had not arrived in time, Alexa might have been dead in the room before anyone noticed. Terrence did not give her a chance to ask for help at all. What was more, he did not ask about it after all the things that happened. ¡°Does life mean nothing to you?¡± Alexa¡¯s voice suddenly became gloomy and cold. Brynlee was startled by her. ¡°What has it got to do with you?¡± Brynlee puffed out her chest. Then she sneered, ¡°I see. Terrence cares about me, and you have no idea how that feels, right? He won¡¯t ask about it even if you die someday.¡± Brynlee said with ridicule, and she happened to hit Alexa¡¯s sore spot. Alexa suddenly stepped forward quickly and raised her hand to p Brynlee without a word. ¡°Ah!¡± Brynlee eximed, covering half of her face in disbelief. ¡°Alexa! Bitch¡­ You bitch!¡± Alexa stood in situ in front of Brynlee, which made Brynlee even more furious. ¡°I¡¯ll warn you onest time. Divorce Terrence now! Or there will be consequences!¡± ¡°Oh? Are you going to kill me?¡± Alexa said, tilting her head indifferently. ¡°Then why don¡¯t you give it a try?¡± Brynlee immediately came close to Alexa and grabbed Alexa¡¯s arm with a ferocious expression. To Brynlee¡¯s surprise, Alexa pushed her away using great force without warning. Brynlee bumped into the cab hard. All kinds of bottles and jars scattered on the ground, and one after another, they emitted a piercing. sound. Brynlee waspletely shocked. Her beautiful face turned pale as she looked at Alexa, who was in front of her. ¡°Don¡¯t you know how to respect others? Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. ¡°Don¡¯t go too far, OK? ¡°Can you understand what I¡¯m saying?¡± Alexa said slowly. Finally, she gave a soft ¡°hmm¡± and waited for Brynlee¡¯s response with great interest. ¡°Piss off! Don¡¯t get close to me!¡± Brynlee shouted hysterically. Brynlee thought, is she really the usual Alexa, the pushover? I need to give Alexa the answer she wants, or she will attack me! I¡¯m sure of that! ¡°Let go of me first, and then we¡¯ll talk.¡± Brynlee was shocked. She was here to show off, yet now she was suffering losses because of Alexa. She thought, Alexa, you bitch! I¡¯ll let Terrence teach you a lesson that you¡¯ll never forget! ¡°Oh, now we can talk?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± Brynlee became hopeful. ¡°I can give you money, as long as you leave Terrence.¡± ¡°How much?¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± Brynlee thought, Alexa is just a bitch. She is worthless! ¡°Tell me. How much are you going to give me?¡± Alexa asked calmly. ¡°160 thousand dors! I¡¯ll give you 160 thousand dors!¡± Brynlee gritted her teeth. Brynlee thought that Alexa would be more than happy to ept the money. However, Alexa chuckled with disdain. ¡°Terrence agreed to pay me 5 million dors ording to the agreement.¡± ¡°5 million dors?¡± Brynlee¡¯s face instantly turned livid. ¡°Don¡¯t go too far!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. You don¡¯t have to give me 5 million dors,¡± Alexa smiled brightly. ¡°I just need you to stop Terrence from buying this hospital. After that, I will sign and divorce him.¡± Hearing such a strange request from Alexa, Brynlee was a little hesitant. Brynlee thought, what¡¯s she up to? Why does Alexa protect this hospital? As if seeing through Brynlee, Alexa calmly continued. ¡°Feel free to record it if you think I¡¯m lying to you.¡± Brynlee narrowed her eyes and finally agreed. ¡°Alexa, I will believe you for thest time. You have to keep your word.¡± After the matter was settled, Alexa let go of Brynlee while calming down. Looking at the mess in front of her, Alexa was a little absent-minded. She was bing more and more unlike herself. After opening the door, several nurses walked in. When they saw Brynlee walking out, they were all stunned. They thought, oh my! Isn¡¯t that Brynlee, the popr star? Why is she here? Something must have been going on between Brynlee and Alexa! After the head nurse came back to her senses, she eximed in surprise in a low voice. ¡°What happened here?¡± Alexa picked up the bunch of white roses that were battered and whispered. ¡°Please contact Dr. Powell for me.¡± Chapter 105 Chapter 105 Chapter 105 Her Means of Seducing Men The nurses were all confused and had no idea what was going on there. But their intuition told them something bad had happened. When Kieran came, Alexa had finished packing her things. She had changed into her clothes and was sitting by the bed quietly like a doll. ¡°What happened? The nurse came to call me in a hurry,¡± Kieran asked gently. ¡°Dr. Powell, I have caused you a lot of trouble all this time.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Kieran immediately realized Alexa meant more than that. He turned around and closed the door. When he turned back to face Alexa, his expression was much more serious. ¡°Why did you suddenly say that?¡± Alexa blinked. Her eyes were clear and bright. ¡°I know that Terrence will buy the hospital.¡± After saying that, the atmosphere in the room was silent for a moment. Kieranughed resignedly. time as ¡°Is this what you are worried about? I am not just a doctor. I also studied finance during my a second major. Moreover, my family has umted some wealth over ten decades,¡± Kieran said. gently. ¡°Dr. Powell, Terrence is not the only reason:¡± Alexa paused and then said those terrible words in an unusually calm tone, ¡°I know that there is no possibility of curing my illness. After all, this is a congenital problem.¡± From the moment she was born, her body was weakening at a speed faster than ordinary people. Once a famous doctor said that Alexa could not survive the age of 24, and now she was already 23. She had lived her life for 23 years. ¡°I am ready to be discharged.¡± It was not a discussion but a decision. ¡°Discharged? You haven¡¯t reached the standard.¡± Kieran frowned. ¡°Dr. Powell, as my life is counting down, I intend to do something that I have always wanted to do.¡± There was light in Alexa¡¯s eyes. This was the first time Kieran had seen Alexa look so lively since he knew her. ¡°Have you thought it over?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa nodded firmly in response, revealing a smile without concern. ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Kieran¡¯s feelings wereplicated. He looked back with a slightly depressed expression. ¡°Come with me. I¡¯ll finish the procedure for you.¡± It was four o¡¯clock in the afternoon after she was discharged. Alexa found a diner near the hospital and ate a te of spaghetti. She checked the bnce of her bank ount on her phone, only to find less than 100 dors. Alexa let out a sigh. She was such a poor thing. She would definitely not return to Terrence¡¯s ce. Alexa suddenly remembered that she still had something to do. After eating the spaghetti, she immediately found a ce to print some papers. By the time everything was settled, it waspletely dark. At night, there were more people in the shopping mall downtown. Unfortunately, before she reached the bus stop, it suddenly started raining again. Alexa had to run. Since she was in a hurry, she bumped into a strange man. ¡°Be careful while walking. Are you blind?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry! I¡¯m really sorry!¡± The man cursed and walked away. Alexa didn¡¯t care about herself and quickly went to pick up the papers scattered on the ground. In an instant, the rain seemed to stop. Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. Alexa looked up in surprise and saw arge ck umbre over her head. The man holding the umbre was wearing an elegant, high-end dark grey suit. His tall and straight figure stood quietly beside her. A momentter, Kieran squatted down and helped her pick up things on the ground. There was the divorce agreement, the will¡­ Kieran identally saw these words. He blinked slightly and quietly hid the two documents under others. Alexa was in a panic at the moment and naturally did not notice Kieran¡¯s action. Kieran handed the documents to her, and Alexa hurriedly bowed to thank him. ¡°Thank you, Dr. Powell. Thank you so much.¡± ¡°You¡¯re wee. Where are you going? I¡¯ll give you a lift,¡± Kieran said in a calm voice. ¡°I won¡¯t bother you, Dr. Powell. I¡¯ll wait for the bus,¡± Alexa said in embarrassment. Hearing this, Kieran calmly checked his watch. ¡°Thest bus left twenty minutes ago. You have to wait until seven in the morning.¡± Alexa was stunned. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Alexa pondered for a while and followed him into the car. Her clothes were all wet. In Kieran¡¯s expensive car, Alexa felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. However, Kieran did not mind at all. He even took off his suit and handed it to her. ¡°Wear this. Don¡¯t catch a cold.¡± Kieran then asked, ¡°Where are you going?¡± Alexa was about to locate a cheap hotel. But just as she reached out for her phone, she found her pocket was empty. Damn! Alexa immediately searched everywhere over her body, yet there was no sign of her cell phone. Did that man just now take her cell phone away? Alexa was anxious, angry, and at a loss as well. Kieran looked at her with slight confusion. Alexa felt awkward and disappointed. ¡°Dr. Powell, I think I¡¯ve lost my phone¡­¡± ¡°Is there anything important? You can use my phone.¡± ¡°No need,¡± Alexa said awkwardly. ¡°Can you send me to a nearby inn? I¡¯ll stay for the night.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Kieran answered softly and nced in the rearview mirror. A ck Bentley followed his car. It was obvious that they were stalked. In the car, Terrence called Alexa time and time again. But every time he dialed her number, Alexa¡¯s phone was turned off. Did she be so bold now? Terrence remembered how Kieran helped Alexa just now. He was more furious than ever. He followed the car in front all the way and saw Kieran drive the car into a private house. It seemed that Alexa had some tricks up her sleeve. Kieran even took her home. As her husband, Terrence had never experienced her means of seducing men. The jealousy in Terrence¡¯s heart swelled. He wished he could immediately rush up and tie her up. However, he couldn¡¯t. Even if he was Alexa¡¯s legal husband, Alexa had never admitted it. From the first day she married him, Alexa wanted to escape, right? At this time, Alexa was very surprised. Kieran understood what she meant and calmly exined. ¡°It is not safe for a girl to live outside alone. Stay at my house for one night. There are many guest rooms.¡± ¡°How can I?¡± Alexa stammered. ¡°I have bothered you enough.¡± ¡°Not at all. ra wille overter.¡± Hearing this, Alexa instantly felt a lot more relieved. She didn¡¯t doubt Kieran¡¯s character, but it felt strange to be alone with him. Alexa stood at the door and saw a car stop behind her out of the corner of her eye. Chapter 106 Chapter 106 Chapter 106 Trick Her Into Going Home Kieran saw Terrence¡¯s car clearly, but he turned a blind eye to it and opened the door for Alexa. ¡°Pleasee in.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Alexa instantly came back to her senses. She entered Kieran¡¯s home at his invitation. Terrence saw them talking andughing. Kieran seemed to have entered the room with Alexa in his arms. He saw it with his own eyes. Alexa couldn¡¯t deny it. Terrence didn¡¯t continue to contact Alexa. Instead, he called Edwin¡­ ¡°Immediately draw up the n to purchase the Powell Group. I want to see the result tomorrow!¡± ¡°Yes, Mr. Ramsey!¡± The Hudson Group and the Powell Group were equally matched in strength. There would be no benefit in recklessly starting a business fight. However, Terrence didn¡¯t care. Since he took over the Hudson Group, he had never lost. He would never lose. Alexa followed Kieran into the room and was shocked by the furnishings. She had long known that Kieran was a serious man preferring the simple style, but the decoration was very delicate. It didn¡¯t feel like his character. Although the style remained simplified, there were all kinds of fine ornaments. On the wall facing south, there were pots of sulents. Kieran took her to walk through the living room and took away the tall doll bear on the sofa. ¡°I¡¯ll take you to the guest room.¡± Kieran pushed open the door of a room. Although it was a guest room, it was like the master bedroom. ¡°ra¡¯s clothes are in the wardrobe. If you need anything, just take it.¡± ¡°Thank you, Dr. Powell.¡± Alexa stood at the side a little stiffly, aimlessly looking around the room. This was another man¡¯s home. No matter what, she could not be at ease. ¡°Take a shower and change your clothes. I will go to the kitchen to make dinner.¡± ¡°Okay. Thank you, Dr. Powell.¡± Alexa nodded and thanked him. Kieran immediately left the room. He did not go to the kitchen immediately. Instead, he went to the gate. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. As soon as he opened the door, Terrence stood in front of him with a sullen face. Kieran stood calmly as if nothing had happened. He asked indifferently. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Terrence¡¯s cold gaze moved away from him and fell on the inside room. ¡°Where is Alexa?¡± Terrence asked directly, wishing he could immediately tear Kieran to shreds. ¡°Oh, you are looking for her,¡± Kieran said indifferently. ¡°Please go back. She doesn¡¯t want to see you.¡± As the door closed, Terrence¡¯s face became more and more gloomy. He pped the door. ¡°Hand her over to me,¡± Terrence said word by word. Kieran¡¯s expression did not change at all. His tone was not even emotional. ¡°I¡¯ve said that she doesn¡¯t want to see you.¡± ¡°Kieran, do you think you have the right to go against me?¡± Terrence asked fiercely and cruelly. ¡°If the Powell Group copsed in your hands, will Bart be able to take it?¡± ¡°Terrence, can¡¯t you be a man?¡± Kieran¡¯s cold eyes blinked and became dark. ¡°Say it again.¡± The atmosphere between them instantly became tense as if they could fight at any time. ¡°She¡¯s taking a shower now. I¡¯ll ask her for her opinionter,¡± Kieran said like a winner. ¡°If she wants to, I will personally send her back.¡± ¡°Now, ask her toe out!¡± Terrence¡¯s patience had run out. ¡°Kieran, I have no interest in talking to you!¡± ¡°Oh, then please go back.¡± After Kieran finished speaking, he used all his strength to m the door shut. Terrence had never encountered such a thing. No one dared to treat him with such an attitude, let alone refuse his request. However, Alexa¡­ and her adulterer had done it! They were cooperating. Were they happy tricking him? Terrence¡¯s feelings were extremely twisted, but he stood in front of the door with a stiff body, his hands hanging by his side so tight that his knuckles looked pale. He was now the president of the Hudson Group. Only primary school students would do something like picking up stones and smashing windows. Of course, he would not do it. Inside the room, Kieran was in the kitchen dealing with the ingredients. After Alexa took a bath, Kieran made five exquisite dishes and soup. Seeing the pink nightgown Alexa was wearing, Kieran softened his determined eyes. ¡°ra¡¯s clothes are suitable for you. Hearing him suddenly say so, Alexa suddenly felt shy. Her face became a little rosy. ¡°Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Powell. I will wash the gown and return it to Ms. Powell.¡± ¡°No need for that. Just wear it,¡± Kieran said with a bright smile in his eyes. ¡°Let¡¯s have dinner.¡± There was a sudden p of thunder outside the window. Alexa was shocked. To hide her panic, she asked in a low voice. ¡°Is Ms. Powell still noting?¡± Kieran handed a te to her and exined without looking up. ¡°ra is still in thepany for a meeting. She wille overter.¡± ¡°Oh, okay.¡± ¡°I Alexa nodded and quietly nced at the rain outside the window. The night rain was heavier than before, and it sounded loud. How many people in the world were homeless on such a rainy night? ¡°Let¡¯s eat.¡± Kieran¡¯s gentle voice sounded. Alexa immediately came back to her senses and took the te he handed over. At that moment, Terrence was still standing straight in the courtyard outside the door. Edwin arrivedte and hurried over with an umbre in his hand. ¡°Mr. Ramsey¡­ Your clothes are wet. Please go back,¡± Edwin said hesitantly. ¡°No, I¡¯ll wait here until shees out. You can leave,¡± Terrence said briefly. ¡°Have you contacted Mrs. Ramsey?¡± ¡°No.¡± At this moment, Terrence was like a seriously injured prodigal son in a love game. Even Edwin couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. Although he had never fallen in love, Edwin also understood that there was a problem in Terrence and Alexa¡¯s rtionship. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, let me contact Mrs. Ramsey.¡± Although Terrence did not want others to interfere in the matter between him and Alexa, he still acquiesced in this situation. Edwin immediately started to call Alexa, yet after a few seconds, he asked in confusion. ¡°It¡¯s so strange. Why is her phone turned off?¡± Terrence was unmoved. He said lightly, ¡°She has already cklisted us.¡± Hearing this, Edwin murmured. ¡°It is impossible to cklist all of us, right?¡± Terrence¡¯s heart felt like it had been stabbed with a knife. Alexa couldn¡¯t cklist them all. She treated everyone with a warm and gentle attitude, but not him. The jealousy in Terrence¡¯s heart rapidly fermented. He snatched Edwin¡¯s phone with extreme anger and dialed a number again. ¡°Contact Kieran and tell him that I had a car ident. Tell Alexa toe out quickly.¡± Chapter 107 Chapter 107 Chapter 107 Ask Terrence to Give Her Money How ruthless he was! Edwin swallowed helplessly and looked at Terrence with a pale face. There was doubt, confusion, and even deep sympathy in his eyes. Every deed had its consequences. Now that things had be like this, what could Terrence do except admit his mistake? Edwin couldn¡¯t resist Terrence, but it seemed that Terrence wouldn¡¯t contact Kieran himself. Thinking of giving it a try, Edwin dialed Alexa¡¯s number again. Surprisingly, this time, he reached Alexa. Alexa held the phone Kieran had just given her and said softly. ¡°Edwin, what¡¯s up?¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, you finally picked up the phone!¡± Edwin seemed to have finally seen hope and almost burst into tears. ¨C Terrence fixedly his dark eyes on him, unwilling to miss any word. Understanding Terrence¡¯s gaze, Edwin continued. ¡°Mr. Ramsey has been looking for you. We are now at the door of Mr. Powell¡¯s house.¡± Hearing thest two words, Alexa suddenly changed her expression. Kieran calmly ate the food on his te. He had expected such a thing to happen sooner orter. ¡°Well¡­¡± Alexa suddenly stopped talking and exined awkwardly, ¡°I lost my phone and couldn¡¯t get a call.¡± Edwin turned on the speaker, so Terrence clearly heard her exnation. The moment the rain poured down, the ice in his eyes showed signs of melting. ¡°Let here out now,¡± Terrence said in a calm and deep voice. His voice was so unique that Alexa immediately recognized it. Her face was a little sullen and she did not look particrly happy. Kieran, who was sitting opposite her, had put down his te and fork and gracefully wiped the corner of his mouth with the tissue. ¡°I got it,¡± Alexa whispered with a pale face. After hanging up the phone, she looked at Kieran and hesitated. ¡°He came to pick you up?¡± ¡°Yes, at the door.¡± ¡°Do you want to go back?¡± Kieran stared at her with deep and gentle eyes. The gentler he was, the more Alexa wanted to cry. She and Kieran were not rted, but Kieran had helped her so many times. He didn¡¯t care if he would get into trouble because of her¡­ Perhaps there was true love in this world. It was just that she was not worthy of it. Alexa thought for a moment and nodded firmly. ¡°Actually, it doesn¡¯t matter. He won¡¯t do anything to me.¡± Kieran pursed his thin lips, silently hiding his emotions. ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Alexa¡¯s heartbeat slowed down. She immediately went to her room to bring out her things. ¡°Dr. Powell, I will transfer the money for the clothes and mobile phone to youter.¡± ¡°No need.¡± ¡°I will talk to Terrence and beg him not to target the Powell Group again.¡± ¡°How can you beg him?¡± Kieran asked calmly, ¡°He is a businessman. He will not do anything without benefits.¡± This question was too sharp. Alexa even had nothing to say. That was right. How could she beg Terrence¡­? Kieran blinked his eyes, stopped talking, and personally opened the door for her. Terrence impatiently walked to the door and saw Alexa who was hiding behind Kieran. He was simply an outsider standing outside the door. ¡°What are you still standing there for? Hurry up ande out,¡± Terrence said coldly. The gloom in Kieran¡¯s eyes welled up. He looked at Terrence without the slightest warmth in his eyes. Alexa, like a marite, walked around Kieran without the slightest hesitation. Terrence quietly tilted the umbre to cover Alexa. He locked his eyes on her pale face. When she got closer to him, Terrence immediately pulled her over. ¡°Dr. Powell¡­¡± A terrible anger suddenly shed through Terrence¡¯s eyes. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± Terrence coldly ordered her and forced her to turn around. Even though his warm chest was right in front of her, Alexa still felt terrifyingly cold. Terrence stuffed her into the car. Before Alexa could sit properly, Terrence reached his hand over and loosened her belt. She would have dodged in horror. But now, Alexa was sitting quietly and letting him do as he pleased. Terrence immediately noticed that something was wrong. Then he pulled a nket and put it on her. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Terrence asked with a displeased expression. However, the fury that Alexa had imagined didn¡¯t arrive. ¡°Can you lend me some money?¡± Alexa lowered her head and asked awkwardly. Terrence¡¯s eyes shed as he saw her ears turnpletely red in an instant. This was the first time Alexa had said something like this. It was rare that she was so obedient in front of him. ¡°What is it?¡± Terrence asked impatiently, ¡°What happened again? How much do you want?¡± ¡°Mr. Powell bought me a new mobile phone. I want to return the money to him.¡± After a long time, a mocking sneer suddenly sounded in the quiet car. Alexa was willing to ept it and did not argue with him at all. Terrence angrily tapped the phone screen a few times and transferred 160 thousand dors to the Powell Group¡¯s ount without hesitation. Then Terrence put away his phone and looked at Alexa beside him calmly. ¡°Why must I lend you money?¡± Terrence was so angry that he was about to lose his temper. He sneered. ¡°Didn¡¯t you go home with him? Why do you care about the money?¡± Alexa pursed her lips tightly and could not say a word. Terrence saw her like this and eased his attitude a lot. ¡°You have to at least let me know what benefits it is for me to lend you money?¡± He was about to speak out his heart, but he still couldn¡¯t. As long as Alexa could act like a spoiled child in front of him like before, he would give her anything she wanted. But Alexa still did not. She seemed to be dumb and sat with her head down in a daze. Terrence instantly lost interest and no longer cared about her. After returning to the Duckdale Vi, Alexa instantly went to the kitchen. Everything that happened today was unusual, including Alexa¡¯s cooking. Terrence did not return to the room but sat on the sofa to watch Alexa working in the kitchen. Not long after, the sound of pots and pans colliding rang out in the kitchen. He quietly looked at Alexa, feeling isted by a nameless loneliness. Alexa¡¯s cooking did not improve much, but she was really hungry. Besides, she had to take medicine later, so she had to eat something before that. After being busy for a while, she improvised on a bowl of noodle soup. Alexa cheerfully and carefully carried the bowl out, but as she was distracted, the bowl fell to the ground and got broken. Terrence heard the crisp sound, got up, and walked toward her. Alexa squatted down with a calm expression and picked up the broken pieces one by one with his hand. Chapter 108 Chapter 108 Chapter 108 What Nonsense Are You Talking? The current atmosphere was simply as strange as it could be. A strange look suddenly shed through Terrence¡¯s deep eyes, but in the end, he gave up on the idea of going up to help and sat back down on the sofa. The noodles that had just been cooked were steaming. Alexa directly reached out and grabbed it. The sticky and hot feeling made her frown. After cleaning up this mess, Alexa boiled the water again and cooked the second bowl of noodles. Terrence silently looked at the figure who was busy in the kitchen in an orderly manner, and his confused heart calmed down again. It was better to ignore him than to leave him. Alexa stood by the stove and looked at the noodles rolling in the pot. She was still hungry, yet now she was very sleepy. Her eyelids began to fight, and she seemed to be able to fall asleep while standing. Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. Alexa absent-mindedly reached out to hold the pot, inadvertently touching its edge, and she immediately withdrew her hands due to the heat. The next second, the pot titled, the noodles were poured out without any warning. The hot soup, mixed with noodles, instantly stuck to her feet. Alexa was wearing a pair of sandals, and this time she was simply scalded badly. She cried out in horror and realized that Terrence was still in the living room. She forcefully suppressed the pain and panic. Why was there no end to her bad luck? Alexa suddenly felt an inexplicable anger in her heart. The angrier she was, the more she wanted to cry. With tears in her eyes, she bit the back of her hand and wished she could p herself twice hard. Simply trash! Before the mess under her feet could be dealt with, a figure suddenly popped up and grabbed her arm. Terrence grabbed her all the way upstairs. Alexa walked in a hurry and didn¡¯t know where her shoes had fallen. Looking at the cold and stiff back in front of her, she clearly felt Terrence¡¯s anger. When Terrence was angry, he was simply like Satan! Alexa instinctively wanted to escape and pulled her hand back in vain as Terrence tightened his grip. In the end, he kicked open the bathroom door and directly dragged Alexa in. Alexa staggered a few steps before barely holding onto the wall and looking up, but Terrence was already blocking the door. ¡°What are you doing?¡± she cried out with some displeasure. Anyway, there were not many days left to live. Alexa did not care whether she would anger him or not. Terrence seemed to be low-spirited because of the rain and looked terrifying. ¡°Wash yourself clean,¡± he ordered coldly. ¡°Move aside. I want to go back to the kitchen.¡± ¡°Who told you to go back? This is my home. I am the boss, understand?¡± ¡°Sure,¡± Alexa said in anger. ¡°Then I will go. I will definitely not stand on your expensive floor again.¡± After saying that, Alexa walked past him to open the door and did not notice how gloomy and terrible Terrence¡¯s face looked. ¡°Alexa, you are awesome. You dare to say anything stupid!¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, since you do not want to see me, I can just scram immediately. Even if I die outside, you don¡¯t need to care about me,¡± Alexa said indifferently. ¡°What did you say?¡± Terrence frowned, and the anger that umted in his heart reached its peak in an instant. ¡°Alexa, say it again!¡± Alexa ignored him, took a deep breath, and silently pulled the door handle. Terrence was so angry that he directly picked her up and strode to the bathtub.. ¡°Let go of me!¡± Alexa broke down crying. Terrence turned a deaf ear and stepped into the bathtub with her in his arms. Her drowning in the poolst time was still fresh in Alexa¡¯s memory. Soaking in the water, Alexa frantically pushed him a few times with her elbow, trying to crawl out. Terrence tightly circled her and could not bear it any longer. ¡°Can you stop and listen to me?¡± ¡°No,¡± Alexa said angrily. Terrence gritted his teeth and said threateningly. ¡°You haven¡¯t exined the matter between you and Kieran.¡± ¡°Then what else do you want?¡± Seeing her reaction, Terrence forcefully suppressed the anger. ¡°Nothing,¡± he said in a deep voice, his tone ironic. ¡°Even if you want to protect an outsider, you don¡¯t need to act so obviously in front of me.¡± ¡°If you have something to say, just say it,¡± Alexa said impatiently. ¡°If we really can¡¯te to an agreement, let¡¯s divorce.¡± ¡°Divorce?¡± Terrence¡¯s attitude instantly became cold again. ¡°The agreed time limit is not up yet. Do not mention it again.¡± After Alexa calmed down, Terrence reluctantly let her go. Alexa instantly left the bathtub and kept a distance from him, her body dripping with water. ¡°What are you afraid of? Will I eat you?¡± ¡°If you have something to say, we can say it like this.¡± Seeing Alexa being so guarded against him, Terrence felt very ufortable in his heart, mixed with a strange unwillingness. After the air became quiet, he asked. ¡°Do you really like Kieran?¡± When Alexa heard Terrence¡¯s inexplicable question, she was speechless. ¡°He is not a virtuous man,¡± Terrence said disdainfully. ¡°His family background, education, and appearance are average.¡± He had never looked down on a certain person in such aprehensive way, yet Kieran was worth Kieran was not as outstanding as him at all! Terrence couldn¡¯t understand what was wrong with Alexa. No matter how good he was, he was not as good as other men. Terrence was like a resentful wife at that moment. He did not notice that his thoughts gradually became strange. And Alexa really could not bear to listen to him ndering Kieran. She gathered her courage and said, ¡°He is not like what you thought of him. Why do you belittle him like that?¡± ¡°If he is not like what I said, then what is he like?¡± Terrence instantly flew into a rage. ¡°You¡¯re way too much! How can you stand up for him?¡± Alexa thought, forget it. There is nothing else to say. Alexa chose to be silent, but Terrence was still muttering on the side. Outsiders couldn¡¯t know that the president of the Hudson Group, who was silent and unapproachable, was shrewish. ¡°Alright, I¡¯m going to sleep.¡± Alexa said lightly and silently left the bathroom. ¡°This isn¡¯t over!¡± Terrence frowned and immediately chased after her. Both of them were drenched, and their bodies were dripping with water when they came out. Alexa wrapped a towel around herself and rummaged through her nightgown in the wardrobe. As soon as Terrence came out, he took off his clothes in front of her without hesitation. Alexa could bear to see him taking off his shirt, but he took off his pants! What the fuck? ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°How can you change your clothes here?¡± ¡°If you mind it, you can close your eyes for the time being.¡± What a hooligan! Alexa blushed and immediately ran to the bathroom. By the time she changed her clothes and came out, Terrence was already lying on her bed. Chapter 109 Chapter 109 Chapter 109 She Wants to Elope With Kieran Alexa had long been used to his shamelessness. After all, the head of the household was called. ¡°Terrence¡±. No matter what she wanted to say, he did not care at all. Terrence leaned on the bed and patted the position beside him in an extremely unrestrained. manner. Alexa walked over expressionlessly and pulled the quilt, keeping a distance from him. Why had she not discovered that Terrence was so annoying? However, the man who Alexa silently criticized did not understand what she meant at all. She had never been like this before. To be specific¡­ She had never shown such an obvious dislike for him! Something seemed to split open in Terrence¡¯s heart. With a gloomy face, he quietly tugged at the corner of the quilt. Alexa sensed his movements and immediately grabbed the quilt back, wrapping herself even tighter. Terrence pursed his lips and said in a very conflicted mindset. ¡°I promised you that I would treat you well during this period.¡± In the middle of the night, what did he want to do this time? Alexa was drowsy and really did not want to talk to him. ¡°No need. Thank you.¡± When Terrence heard her indifferent voice, his tightly knitted eyebrows did not rx for a moment. The two suddenly fell silent. He pped themp holder, and the room instantly darkened. Alexa fell asleep very quickly, but Terrence could not fall asleep no matter what. Her breathing gradually became slow and steady, and Terrence quietly got up. He silently left the room and quickly returned with the medicine box. He silently knelt down in front of Alexa. Not wanting to disturb her, Terrence switched on the shlight and grabbed her ankle. Being stained with water, her instep was even more swollen, bulging like a hamburger. In Terrence¡¯s calm eyes, there was a rare trace of pity. Whose daughter was not the apple of their parent¡¯s eyes? Yet in the Ramsey family, she was either injured or sick. She seemed to have very, very few happy days. After carefully applying medicine to her ankle, Terrence pulled the quilt for her. He inadvertently saw the needle spot on the back of Alexa¡¯s hand. As if he was suddenly stabbed by something, Terrence hurriedly pushed her sleeve aside. The backs of her hands were covered with needle spots. Not only that, even her forearms weren¡¯t spared. These spots were covered with bruises that had notpletely dissipated. One could tell that they had only appeared recently at a nce. Was Alexa really being treated in the hospital? But what was wrong with her? Why had he never heard her say it? Terrence¡¯s heart was full of doubts, and he unconsciously increased the strength of his hand. Alexa felt strange and woke up in a daze, only to see Terrence close and even grabbing her hand in a daze. Alexa was shocked and cried out in horror. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes were calm as he calmly ced her hand back into the quilt. ¡°Nothing. Go to sleep.¡± After that, he carried the medicine box and left the room thoughtfully. How could Alexa still fall asleep? She looked at her hands, which were full of needle spots, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed tightly. Why did Terrence observe her while she was asleep? Did he already know something? Alexa was flustered and quickly got out of bed and locked the door inside. She had never been so afraid and nervous. Her legs were soft as she leaned against the bed and fell to the ground. Alexa covered her mouth and choked. If Terrence knew about this, would he immediately chase her out? She was thinking in a panic when there was a sudden knock on the door. ¡°Why did you lock the door?¡± Alexa walked a few steps away and tried to calm down. ¡°I¡¯m ready to sleep. Don¡¯te in.¡± Terrence resignedly retracted his hand and sighed softly. ¡°Then be careful of the wound on your foot. I¡¯ll go to the guest bedroom.¡± Alexa ignored him and slipped into the quilt worriedly. That night, both of them didn¡¯t sleep. Early the next morning, Alexa received a call from the head of HR department. Jerry smiled fawningly on the other side of the line and said in a fawning manner. ¡°Ms. Duran, HR department made a mistakest time. Actually, it was so serious that you expelled.¡± ¡°Oh? Is there anything else, Mr. Lawson?¡± Alexa asked lightly. ¡°Mr. Ramsey specially asked me to invite you back to work. Otherwise, all the personnel in HR department will be expelled¡­¡± Jerry was pleading, yet Alexa¡¯s heart did not fluctuate at all, and she even wanted tough. Terrence would not be crazy to this extent, right? At that time, it was he who personally sent her the notice of expulsion, and now the HR Department was going to take the me. Alexa smiled lightly and said politely. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mr. Lawson. I don¡¯t intend to work at the Hudson Group anymore. What? Jerry felt as if he had been struck by lightning. His face was covered in a cold sweat as he thought about Terrence¡¯s terrifying expression. He simply wanted to kneel before Alexa. ¡°Ms. Duran, this is the Hudson Group¡­¡± This was the Hudson Group, the No.1pany in the world. She, an unimpressive employee without any background, actually dared to refuse Terrence¡¯s offer! Which powerful family was she born into? ¡°Yes, I know,¡± Alexa said calmly. ¡°But I¡¯m out of the Hudson Group¡¯s league. Mr. Lawson, goodbye.¡± After hanging up the phone, Alexa went to the living room. A fresh and exquisite breakfast was ced on the dining table. All the food was still steaming, and it seemed that someone had calcted the time for her to get up. Thinking that it was made by Bryson in the kitchen, Alexa did not even think before sitting down to eat. Mina stood to the side and asked with concern. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, what do you want to eat for lunch? Mr. Ramsey wille back to dine with you.¡± Hearing thest sentence, Alexa lost her appetite for food instantly. ¡°No need. I won¡¯t eat at home at noon.¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, are you going out?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°What exactly do you want to do?¡± Mina asked in too much detail. Alexa knew that she would tell Terrence as soon as she heard it. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! ¡°I just want to walk around,¡± Alexa said casually. Five minutester, Terrence, who was in the middle of a meeting, received Alexa¡¯s schedule. He thought, let her do it. Maybe she¡¯ll feel better after breathing in the fresh air. Half an hourter, Terrence learned that Alexa had gone to the outskirts of the city. When she crossed the suburbs, she would see a highway, and once she passed the highway, she would arrive at an airport¡­ Considering Alexa¡¯s attitude towards himst night¡­ Terrence was afraid that she would elope with Kieran! Terrence was shocked and immediately left the meeting and headed for the garage. Alexa walked along the mountain road to the foot of the mountain when it was already noon. She didn¡¯t have much change, yet it should be enough for her to have a bowl of noodles and buy a ticket. There was a Porsche parked on the side of the road. Alexa nced at it indifferently and continued to walk. Terrence immediately started the car and followed her. He rolled down the car window and shouted. ¡°Alexa!¡± ¡°What do you want to do?¡± Alexa asked calmly. He wondered, what do I want to do? She asked this in such a tone! Chapter 110 Chapter 110 Chapter 110 Want to Be Recognized ¡°Why did youe here? Didn¡¯t I ask you to go to thepany?¡± Terrence asked angrily. Alexa¡¯s eyes shed, and her heart didn¡¯t fluctuate at all. ¡°I have already clearly refused you. Do you have any questions?¡± ¡°What do you want to do here?¡± Terrence asked again patiently. Alexa lowered her head and adjusted her skirt. She whispered, ¡°There is a church on this mountain. I want to walk around.¡± Terrence silently searched for the church on his phone. There was indeed one here. ¡°Is Kieran not with you?¡± Hearing this, Alexa seemed to have heard a funny joke and immediately retorted. ¡°Of course not.¡± Terrence gave her a meaningful look and finally said nothing. Alexa still wanted to walk down the mountain road, but the car door in front of her made a noise, and Terrence got out of the car and walked directly to her. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to visit the church? Why are you going down?¡± ¡°Well¡­ I¡­¡± Alexa faltered for a long time and did not tell Terrence that she was going to have lunch, yet she suddenly felt that she was not hungry. She did not walk to the church just now. As soon as she reached halfway up the peak, she was exhausted and had to slowly walk down the mountain. ¡°Come here.¡± Terrence said gently and stretched out his hand to her. Alexa felt that she was useless. As long as Terrence gave in a little, she would be impatient to stick to him. ¡°Do you want to go there too?¡± she asked casually. Terrence did not like her being vignt, but now he was strangely patient. ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡± These few simple words were more tempting than any other temptations. Alexa reached out to him and was led up a step by Terrence. She immediately withdrew her hand shyly. Terrence did not force her either. The two walked side by side and slowly walked up. ¡°It is more than five hundred steps.¡± Alexa looked down at the steps covered with moss and felt that her body was much lighter. ¡°It will take a long time.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. If you are tired, we will go back,¡± Terrence said calmly. ¡°I¡¯m not tired.¡± ! Alexa said indifferently and turned to look at the surrounding scenery. The church was surrounded by mountains. The further up they went, the denser the clouds became. The lush greenness was so pervasive that it almost dyed their clothes. The mountain wind blew gently, and it was so cold that it made Alexa feeble. Alexa¡¯s pace gradually slowed down. Realizing that the woman was gradually falling behind, Terrence simply stopped and waited for her. ¡°What is so fun about this ce?¡± Terrence raised his leg and walked down, trying to bribe her. ¡°Let¡¯s go back. I¡¯ll take you to get something to eat.¡± ¡°I saw the gate.¡± Alexa pointed and then said, ¡°Why don¡¯t you go back first?¡± Terrence hade here specifically to pick her up, so how could he leave her alone? ¡°Let¡¯s go up.¡± Like an angry cat, he grabbed her hand forcefully. Terrence deliberately slowed down and would stop from time to time to let her rest. The journey that could have beenpleted in ten minutes had taken them half an hour. After they covered thest step, the exquisitely designed church appeared in front of them. A sage-like elder quietly walked past them and bowed politely. ¡°Pleasee in.¡± ¡°Thank you,¡± Alexa smiled and returned the greeting. She elegantly lifted her skirt¡¯s hemline and entered. Terrence followed beside her and did not let go of her hand from beginning to end. Alexa looked left and right very seriously, yet she did not directly enter the church like ordinary people. ¡°What are you looking at?¡± Terrence asked. Alexa was in a good mood and exined to him honestly. ¡°Look at theyout.¡± ¡°You know this?¡± Terrence was surprised. ¡°I learned a little,¡± Alexa slowly said. ¡°It was designed symmetrically. Even the wood and design of the wall are very learned.¡± ¡°You know quite a lot.¡± Terrence praised her. Alexa nodded, and a light shed through her eyes. ¡°Of course. After all, I was taught by my brother.¡± As soon as Terrence heard Keyon, the smile in his eyes immediately faded. For some reason, when Alexa wholeheartedly praised Keyon in front of him, Terrence would always feel a little ufortable. ¡°If there¡¯s a chance, I would like to learn design.¡± Alexa said casually and continued to walk forward. The speaker was unintentional, but the listener wasn¡¯t. Terrence took his phone and silently contacted a friend of his in the circle. When the two of them went down the mountain, it was already two in the afternoon. Alexa sat in the passenger seat and silently checked her phone. Terrence stole a few nces at her. He suddenly said, ¡°You can submit a draft to Elvish Corp¡­¡± Elvish Corp¡­ ¡± Hearing him talk about this brand, Alexa widened her eyes in surprise. This was the world¡¯s number one luxury brand, famous for its unique jewelry design for a hundred years, and also the best in the hearts of countless photographers. She was a nobody, but Terrence asked her to submit a draft to Elvish Corp. ¡°Are you kidding me?¡± Alexa asked in a daze. ¡°How could Elvish Corp. take a fancy to my work?¡± ¡°How will you know if you don¡¯t try? Are you worse than others?¡± Terrence said earnestly. ¡°No.¡± ¡°Can I¡­¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Terrence nodded and then said in an imposing manner, ¡°In three days, I want to see your certificate of honor.¡± Terrence said it so confidently that Alexa could not help feeling itchy. ¡°Then I¡¯ll give it a try.¡± ¡°OK.¡± shone brightly. The corner of Terrence¡¯s thin lips curved up slightly, and his eyes His girl, of course, was great. When he finished speaking, Terrence¡¯s phone rang. Alexa looked out of the window and heard Terrence talk to the person on the other side of the line in a concise manner. It should not be Brynlee. Otherwise, his tone would not be so calm. However, after the call ended, Terrence still maintained his tone. ¡°Let¡¯s take another road. I¡¯m going to pick up Brynlee on the way.¡± Oh, so Brynlee was still in Alexa¡¯s life. Alexa nearly forgot her.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! Terrence¡¯s car stopped at the right time, and Alexa immediately understood what he meant. ¡°Then you can go. I¡¯ll take a taxi back.¡± ¡°Hey, where are you going¡­¡± Terrence nced at the red light ahead and turned to look at Alexa, who was crossing the road. Seeing her get on the bus, Terrence frowned even harder. It seemed that in Alexa¡¯s heart, she still had not recognized Brynlee. But at that moment, Alexa did not think so much at all. Her mind was upied with the idea of submitting a draft to Elvish Corp. She waspletely immersed in the joy ofposing. If she could win Elvish Corp.¡¯s favor, then she would definitely be a recognized jewelry designer. Thinking of this, Alexa immediately took out the notebook in her bag to design the first draft. The car suddenly jolted, and the coffee the person in front of her was holding spilled all over her body. Chapter 111 Chapter 111 Chapter 111 Make a Clean Break With Him ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m sorry.¡± The woman in front of her apologized repeatedly and hurriedly handed Alexa a piece of tissue. Alexa rarely got angry. In addition, the person in front of her was even more nervous than her. Alexa instantly lost her temper. ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Alexa waved her hand and wiped off the stains on the notebook. The woman standing in front of her carefully looked at the drawing in Alexa¡¯s hand, and a smile suddenly appeared on her delicate face. ¡°Hello, are you a designer? Can we have a chat?¡± the woman asked briskly. ¡°Eh?¡± Alexa looked up in surprise and saw her face. She was about forty years old. Her makeup was exquisite and gorgeous. She was wearing a delicate, rose-colored long dress, bright and dazzling. She waspletely ipatible with the cramped bus. Before Alexa understood the situation, the woman handed over a simple and elegant business card. She was Kimora Hampton from Elvish Corp. Good heavens! Alexa looked up in shock. She had never been so nervous and excited. Who would have thought that the mysterious top designer, Kimora, was now on the same bus as her? If the media were present, she would hit the hot search. ¡°Can we talk?¡± Kimora curled her lips into a smile, showing her generous aura. ¡°Me?¡± Alexa pointed at herself in disbelief. ¡°Of course!¡± Kimora smiled even broader and reached out to her intimately. ¡°Let¡¯s get off.¡± Alexa¡¯s mind was about to be knocked silly as she got off the bus with her confusedly. The Maserati that was following behind the bus stopped right in front of them. Kimora warmly invited her to the car. Alexa was in a trance and felt that everything was like a dream. ¡°What¡¯s your name?¡± Kimora took out a document and looked at Alexa. The girl in front of her was fair and thin, and her slender figure revealed a touch of pathological beauty that others couldn¡¯t help but pity her. In addition, she had extremely ssical facial features, which made her look superior. Kimora was very happy. It seemed that she had picked up a treasure today. ¡°My name is Alexa Duran.¡± ¡°Alexa¡­¡± Kimora whispered a few words and nodded thoughtfully. ¡°Ms. Hampton, is there a problem?¡± ¡°No.¡± The smile on Kimora¡¯s face had an unfathomable meaning. ¡°I just think your name is very pleasant to hear.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± After bringing Alexa to Elvish Corp.¡¯s design department, Kimora made some time to call someone. ¡°Terrence, what are you doing?¡± ¡°Kimora. I haven¡¯t been doing anything bad in front of you recently.¡± Terrence¡¯s tone was full of respect. ¡°Huh¡­¡± Kimora had also grown up in a family of intrigue, so how could she not see through Terrence¡¯s thoughts? ¡°How do you n to beg me if you want Alexa to enter Elvish Corp.?¡± ¡°Beg you?¡± Terrence could not help butugh. He really did not expect such a coincidence, much less that Kimora would take a fancy to Alexa at a nce. Terrence did not intend to let Alexa ¡°pull some strings¡± at all, not to mention that this was definitely not something Alexa hoped for. ¡°I have no intention of begging you to be generous,¡± Terrence smiled and said in a doting tone, ¡°There is no doubt about her strength. If you don¡¯t want her, I will create a brand for her alone.¡± ¡°You brat!¡± Kimora also smiled unconsciously. It seemed that Terrence had really grown a lot. Back in the office, Alexa had alreadypleted the first draft. She designed a ring with a ssic multi-ring design. She used the beauty of geometry to the extreme and decorated it with diamonds, making it look even more luxurious. ¡°Great!¡± Kimora praised from the bottom of her heart and instantly understood what Terrence meant. ¡°Is there a name for this work?¡± ¡°Monologue,¡± Alexa said without thinking. The repetitious road of hardship was her life¡¯s monologue that she couldn¡¯t escape from. ¡°I will report your work to Publicity Department,¡± Kimora said confidently. ¡°We will definitely give you a dazzling stage. You just need to shine.¡± Kimora was very good at judging people. When she first saw Alexa¡¯s work, she immediately understood that this young designer must be famous. ¡°If there are no problems, let¡¯s sign the contract.¡± Kimora immediately arranged the contract, afraid that Alexa would be poached by others. ¡°Thank you, Ms. Hampton. Can I give you an answer tomorrow?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± Kimora nodded kindly. ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. I¡¯ll arrange a car to send you home.¡± Otherwise, Terrence would bombard her with calls. After a rxed and happy chat, Alexa left Elvish Corp. in a good mood. She really did not expect to meet Kimora in such a dramatic way, nor did she expect that Elvish Corp. would offer her a job voluntarily. After returning to Duckdale Vi, Alexa saw Terrence sitting at the dining table at a nce. He sat alone at the table and looked a little lonely. Alexa walked briskly towards the dining table and sat down in front of him with a face full of joy. ¡°What happened? Why are you so happy? You¡¯re beaming with a smile,¡± Terrence said as if he knew nothing. ¡°Am I?¡± Alexa immediately blushed and touched her face nervously. Her smile instantly faded. ¡°Let¡¯s eat.¡± Terrence changed the topic and personally served her a bowl of vegetable soup. ¡°Even taking a bus makes you so happy, right?¡± Alexa¡¯s smile was very infectious, and Terrence could not help but be a little happy. In his lonely heart, something seemed to be graduallying to life. ¡°You might not believe me if I say it,¡± Alexa said in surprise. ¡°I met Kimora, the creative director of Elvish on the bus.¡± ¡°Really? Didn¡¯t you want to be a designer? Did you introduce yourself to her?¡± Terrence hid his emotions in his eyes. ¡°How did you know? She took a fancy to my work and said she wanted to sign a contract with me. What do you think?¡± Alexa sighed. Alexa subconsciously asked thest question. In the past, when she encountered important decisions, she would seriously ask her parents and brother for their opinions, but now the one sitting in front of her was Terrence. Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. Her creditor and former boss. Alexa suddenly regretted that she always had such a bad memory! She always showed an excessive passion for this cold man! However, Terrence thought for a while and finally said slowly. ¡°If you like Elvish, of course, you can go, but don¡¯t have a psychological burden. Even if there is something, the Hudson Group is your backer.¡± Hearing his words, Alexa took a sip of the vegetable soup with an unnatural expression. ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa nodded firmly. ¡°I will definitely make a lot of money, and then pay the money back to you as soon as possible.¡± When Terrence heard that, his eyes instantly sank. So Alexa didn¡¯t make so much effort to pursue her dream, but to make a clean break with him! Chapter 112 Chapter 112 Chapter 112 The Feeling of Home Terrence restrained the joy on his face and quickly returned to his cold and indifferent expression. Alexa noticed his change and immediately swallowed the words she had not yet said. She firmly promised. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will pay you back.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t need to say that to me,¡± Terrence said coldly. ¡°This is not what I care about.¡± ¡°Oh, okay.¡± Alexa nodded since she found that he wasn¡¯t happy. Then she continued to eat the food in her bowl quietly. Terrence looked at the vegetable soup in the bowl and suddenly lost his appetite. With a displeased expression, he put down his spoon and got up to walk upstairs. Seeing Terrence leave coldly, Alexa had no idea why he was unhappy. Did what she said provoke him again? Alexa quickly finished her dinner and put away the tableware. She could not wait to go back to her room and began drawing. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. With Kimora¡¯s encouragement, Alexa now had countless inspirations. She wanted to draw them down! Alexa was always invested in work. After finishing thest drawing, it was alreadyte at night. She got up and walked to the kitchen. Terrence just passed by her in a hurry. Alexa immediately stopped. Terrence was dressed neatly. It was obvious that he was going to go out. ¡°It¡¯s sote. Are you going out?¡± Alexa asked casually. Terrence looked sideways at her, the worry on his face obvious. ¡°Mom fell in the bathroom. She¡¯s not in a good situation. I¡¯m going to the hospital right now.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. You should rest first. I¡¯ll try my best toe back early.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go with you!¡± Not long after, they arrived at the hospital together. Jason stood alone at the door of the operation room. He seemed to have aged a lot. ¡°Jason, how is Rebekah?¡± Alexa said nervously. ¡°No idea. But the doctor said that the fall might lead to a stroke.¡± Alexa¡¯s face was pale, and she opened her mouth in horror. ¡°Why does this happen suddenly?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Terrence calmly held her shoulder and let Alexa fall into his arms. ¡°She will be fine.¡± Although Terrence¡¯s tone was very calm, Alexa could still sense that he was very worried. The operationsted for an entire night. Terrence stood in front of the door and did not say a word. Finally, the door of the operating room opened, and they immediately went to surround the doctor. The doctor did not sleep for the whole night and was also exhausted. ¡°She is basically out of danger. We will arrange a detailed examinationter. One of you three can stay.¡± ¡°Jason, you should go back and rest,¡± Alexa said with concern. ¡°No, I¡¯m not tired, but you two¡­¡± ¡°Both of you, go back. I¡¯ll stay,¡± Terrence said calmly. Jason couldn¡¯t persuade them, and his waist injury had not fully recovered, so he had to go back first. However, Alexa sat down by the bed in the ward and looked at Terrence with a determined gaze. ¡°You have a lot of things to deal with in thepany. You can go back first. I will take care of Rebekah.¡± A few hours ago, there was a small grudge between them, but now¡­ Terrence felt that Alexa gave him the feeling of home. ¡°Okay. I will go and deal with some important things.¡± Terrence promised sincerely, ¡°I¡¯ll be back soon.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± In fact, the Ramsey family was rich enough to invite a carer. Alexa didn¡¯t need to take care of Rebekah on her own. But during the years of Alexa¡¯s marriage with Terrence, Jason and Rebekah were kind and nice to her. She just wanted to do something she could for them. After the effect of the anesthetic wore off, Rebekah woke up in a daze. Seeing Alexa by her bedside, Rebekah f¨¦lt tears in her eyes. She was so moved that she held Alexa¡¯s hand. ¡°Kid, sorry for bringing you trouble.¡± ¡°Rebekah¡­¡± Alexa froze. Then she smiled with relief, ¡°You are awake. I will get you some water.¡± Alexa served Rebekah a ss of water and then called the doctor over. But the doctor, Joseph Yates, stood at the door and waved at her. He said with a deep meaning. ¡°Ms. Duran, let me take you to get the CT results first.¡± ¡°Oh, okay. Rebekah, wait here for me.¡± Alexa hurriedly got up. ¡°Okay, just go.¡± Alexa followed Joseph out of the ward and found that his expression was serious. Her heart skipped a beat, and she instantly had a bad feeling. ¡°Ms. Duran, I invited you out alone because there are some things that I can¡¯t tell the patient for now. ¡°Dr. Yates¡­¡± Alexa murmured, and her face instantly turned pale. ¡°When analyzing the CT results, we found that there is a cyst in her head. ording to my clinical experience, it should be a brain tumor. And the possibility for me to make a mistake is almost zero,¡± Joseph said slowly and seriously. Alexa¡¯s legs went limp. She almost couldn¡¯t stand still, but she tried to keep her rationality. ¡°Dr. Yates, the possibility of curing it is high, right?¡± ¡°It¡¯s hard to say now. ording to its clinical feature, it should be a malignant one.¡± Joseph sighed. ¡°Malignant one¡­¡± Alexa could not ept the result and staggered back two steps. ¡°However, we have to confirm the results with other tests. There is also a high possibility that it¡¯s a bening one. But you have to be mentally prepared.¡± After Joseph left, Alexa sat alone in the chair in the corridor for a long time. She held the phone in her hand, but her mind was a mess. Alexa thought that she was mentally prepared. However, the moment she called Terrence, she couldn¡¯t control her mood but burst into tears. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Terrence asked in a calm tone. ¡°Terrence,e to the hospital.¡± Alexa kept wiping her tears. ¡°Immediately.¡± Hearing Alexa crying so hard, Terrence felt distressed. He immediately turned the car around and rushed to the hospital. ¡°Don¡¯t cry. Don¡¯t cry.¡± Terrence asked patiently and gently, ¡°What happened?¡± Alexa told Terrence everything the doctor said in detail. She really felt sad. ¡°Alexa.¡± Terrence called Alexa calmly and gently on the other end of the call. Hearing his voice, Alexa stopped crying. Why did Terrence suddenly call her so gently? ¡°I¡¯m here,¡± Alexa replied in a low voice. She was choked with sobs. ¡°Did you tell Mom?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t,¡± Alexa said word by word. ¡°I dare not tell her.¡± Alexa was always a stubborn girl. She seldom cried like this. Seeing her like this, Terrence felt heartbroken. ¡°You have already done very well.¡± There was a gentle smile on Terrence¡¯s handsome face. ¡°Thank you. I¡¯ll be at the hospital soon.¡± After telling Terrence about the situation, Alexa felt that the pressure in her heart was reduced a little. She returned to the ward, but Rebekah asked with a rxed face. ¡°Alexa, what did the doctor say to you? Is my condition very serious?¡± Chapter 113 Chapter 113 Chapter 113 You Belong to Me Alexa squeezed out a smile. ¡°Nothing. It¡¯s just some daily nuisances. I¡¯ll pass it to Terrenceter.¡± ¡°There is much more to that, isn¡¯t it?¡± Rebekah smiled, nudging Alexa to tell the truth. Alexa intentionally kept some distance from her, as she was worried that Rebekah would spot that she had almost cried. ¡°Nothing. It¡¯s all in your head. Have some rest,¡± Alexa said determinedly. ¡°Is it cancer or something? I¡¯m not afraid of death. Alexa. Tell me.¡± Rebekah smiled calmly. ¡°Rebekah¡­¡± Alexa couldn¡¯t resist the urge to cry. She squatted down beside the bed, nervously holding Rebekah¡¯s left hand. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! ¡°Rebekah, please don¡¯t say that. You¡¯re scaring me,¡± Alexa said in a tough tone. ¡°Alright, I won¡¯t say that again.¡± Rebekah nodded. Alexa just wiped her tears away when someone pushed the door open. Terrence walked towards Alexa and helped her up. With Terrence around, Alexa felt much more at ease. As Terrence exchanged a look with Rebekah, a frown marring his features, Alexa knew that he had something to tell his mom. ¡°Rebekah, I¡¯m going for a walk.¡± Rebekah said in a concerned tone, ¡°Go ahead. It¡¯s too stuffy here.¡± ¡°I will.¡± Alexa forced a smile and silently pushed open the door. As soon as she was out, Alexa copsed in the corridor, as if all the strength in her body had been drained. She was diagnosed with a terminal illness and had long been ustomed to the torture. But when the same tragedy happened to her loved ones, Alexa suddenly realized she was not as brave as she thought to be. Terrence was sitting upright on the chair next to the bed, expressionless. Rebekah was still wearing a kind smile, but there was something more in her gaze. ¡°Terrence, I won¡¯t beat around the bush. I want you to cut off your rtionship with Brynlee now,¡± Rebekah said bluntly. Terrence was not surprised. He knew Rebekah was going to say that. ¡°Your father and I are not going to ept her. After so many years, it¡¯s time to stop and go back on track.¡± ¡°I have my own ns. Plus, I am on track.¡± Terrence hid his emotions so well that even Rebekah could not see through him. ¡°Are you still going to divorce Alexa? What do you want me to do for you to change your mind? We asked you to break up with Brynlee for your own good!¡± Rebekah said in disbelief and disappointment. ¡°When I was in danger abroad, she saved me.¡± Sensing his determination, Rebekah could not help but cry. ¡°Why can¡¯t you see the truth after so many years? You know that she was not the one who saved you.¡± ¡°Mom.¡± Terrence suddenly stood up gloomily. ¡°Brynlee saved me. There is no doubt about it. The Ramsey family is not strong enough to deal with all of the rivals. ¡°As long as I can protect the family, I can sacrifice anything, even my marriage.¡± Rebekah felt distressed by how callous her son had be. Just as she was about to say something, there was a knock on the door. Alexa¡¯s voice sounded. ¡°Rebekah, the doctor is here to examine you.¡¯ ¡°Okay.¡± Then Rebekah gazed at Terrence gently. ¡°Spend some time with Alexa. She is exhausted.¡± ¡°I will.¡± Terrence¡¯s cold gaze was disappearing. The moment he went out, he was bombarded by questions from Alexa. ¡°How is Rebekah? Is she feeling better?¡± ¡°With you here, how can she not be better?¡± Terrence held her hand, chuckling. ¡°Let¡¯s go have breakfast.¡± Alexa didn¡¯t move. ¡°Wait. But what about Rebekah?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll have the maids take care of her. Don¡¯t worry,¡± Terrence said gently. Relieved, Alexa followed him. It was already nine o¡¯clock. Alexa was burned out. When she passed by the breakfast restaurant at the entrance of the hospital, she hurried over as if she hadn¡¯t had anything for three days. Terrence paused and looked at her, puzzled. ¡°Where are we going?¡± Alexa¡¯s eyes lightened up, as she shook his arm expectantly. ¡°Can we have breakfast there?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not¡­¡± Before Terrence could finish, Alexa had let go of him and walked over briskly. Alexa was just like a child seeing a lollipop. Terrence could only follow up. Alexa got into the restaurant and ordered many dishes as if she had done it a thousand times. Seeing Terrence at the door, Alexa teased him with a grin. ¡°I thought you had left.¡± ¡°I need to be with you. Otherwise, you would get lost,¡± Terrence said stubbornly. ¡°What do you want? I ordered a sandwich and a cup of coffee. Do you want the same? I¡¯ll get the same for you.¡± Alexa was particrly enthusiastic about food. Terrence rubbed her head with a faint smile. ¡°I don¡¯t hate it. Order whatever you want.¡± Alexa smoothed her tousled hair while ordering the same meal for him, a bit pissed off. Terrence was cleaning the table over and over again with a towel. Alexa twitched her mouth, regretful for bringing him to such a ce. After all, for someone as Terrence as him, dining out in such a humble restaurant was a challenge. As expected, Terrence began to speak ill of the ce, ¡°Why do you like this restaurant? It¡¯s noisy and greasy. There isn¡¯t a five-star chef here.¡± ¡°Having breakfast here makes me feel alive. Don¡¯t you think that it is very lively here? It¡¯s filled with aroma and chatter,¡± Alexa exined, perked up. ¡°There is not where I belong.¡± Alexa was disappointed. Alexa didn¡¯t bother to argue with him and lost interest in chatting with him. She and Terrence were never on the same page. Alexa thought the sea was beautiful, whereas Terrence regarded it as a horrible thing that drowned many people. Alexa fell silent, and Terrence didn¡¯t say anything, either. Then he began to stare straight at her. ¡°When are you going to be back at Hudson Group?¡± Terrence asked, a bit dominantly. ¡°I¡¯m not going back. I belong to Elvish Corp.¡± Alexa cut to the chase. ¡°You belong to Elvish Corp.?¡± Nonsense. Alexa belonged to him. When Terrence was thinking hard about the next move, their breakfast was served. ¡°The boiled eggs are gifts for you. Doe back,¡± thedy said warmly. ¡°Definitely,¡± Alexa replied with a smile. Terrence turned a deaf ear. When he looked up, he saw Alexa¡¯s hand with a peeled egg in it. Chapter 114 Chapter 114 Chapter 114 To Steal Her Work Terrence did not take it immediately, making Alexa a bit embarrassed. She wanted to take her hand back. However, Terrence suddenly grabbed her wrist and took a bite of the egg. The medium well egg was tender. After Terrence took a bite, the yolk flowed out. Terrence took the egg from Alexa, but Alexa¡¯s fingertips were stained with the yolk. He carefully wiped her hand with a handkerchief. Alexa was so blushed that her mind went nk. Finally, she muttered, ¡°Do you like it?¡± ¡°I do.¡± Terrence nodded and folded the handkerchief and put it back into his pocket. ¡°I¡¯ll peel the egg for you, in case it stains your hand.¡± Alexa nodded, looked down, and ate her breakfast. The food was mediocre, but the vibe was great. After they finished breakfast, Alexa rushed to the hospital. ¡°I¡¯ll take you home first. Leave it to me,¡± Terrence said, holding her hand. ¡°You can go back to your work. I¡¯m not tired. Besides, I want to spend more time with Rebekah,¡± Alexa said energetically. Before Terrence could say anything, a bodyguard came forward and reported to him. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Ms. Walton went to Duckdale Vi and said she wanted to see you.¡± Alexa pulled her hand back, still wearing a faint smile. ¡°Go ahead. I will be looking after Rebekah.¡± With that, Alexa left without looking back. As long as it had something to do with Brynlee, Alexa would never hesitate. Alexa knew that Brynlee meant a lot to Terrence. If Brynlee was upset, Alexa would be the one to me. Terrence got in the car and left his expression freezing. Meanwhile, Brynlee was making a fuss in the Duckdale Vi. ¡°Have you found Terrence¡¯s whereabouts? Why are you so slow? Or are you bullying me because Terrence and I are not married yet?¡± Brynlee asked gloomily. Mina stood by the side calmly. ¡°Ms. Walton, this is not a ce where you can throw a tantrum.¡± ¡°Throw a tantrum? Who are you to point a finger at me? How dare you talk to me like that!¡± Brynlee shouted. As Brynlee was getting more agitated, the butler signaled Mina to stop. ¡°Ms. Walton, we have called Mr. Ramsey as you requested. Please wait a moment.¡± ¡°Now you are talking.¡± Brynlee snorted arrogantly. She suddenly got up and walked upstairs. ¡°Ms. Walton, you are not allowed to go up!¡± Mina stepped forward to stop her. Alexa had said that she kept important things in her room. When Alexa was not around, Mina did not even allow the maids to go in and clean it. ¡°I am Terrence¡¯s fianc¨¦e. What is there that I can¡¯t see!¡± Brynlee screamed arrogantly, pushed Mina away, and rushed upstairs. Alexa¡¯s room was very neat. The only thing that stood out was the neatly stacked drawings on the table. Brynlee grabbed one. When she saw the jewelry design drawing, Brynlee squinted suspiciously. Alexa was doing design? Having worked in the fashion industry for so many years, Brynlee recognized the value of these designs at a nce. So, she took photos of these manuscripts and sent them to a designer. By the time Terrence returned, Brynlee had finished. She was sitting gracefully on the sofa. ¡°Terrence, you seem to be very busy these days. You haven¡¯te back for a long time.¡± Mina stood by the side and turned away in disdain. Despite being charming, Brynlee was the most vicious woman that Mina had seen. Mina saw what the woman had done in Alexa¡¯s room! ¡°There is a lot to handle in thepany. I will spend more time with you when I get these things done.¡± Terrence wrapped his arm around her waist coolly. ¡°I asked you so many times that you should let me help you out. But you always refused me,¡± Brynlee said coquettishly. ¡°You don¡¯t have to. I¡¯m fine on my own.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great. Since you have time today, let me cook for you.¡± Brynlee wrapped her arm around his neck. ¡°As you wish.¡± Terrence¡¯s tone was t. Although he wore a gentle smile, his eyes were cold. Getting his approval, Brynlee ran to the kitchen. Terrence reclined on the sofa exhaustedly and rubbed his eyebrows. Mina stammered as she prepared to tell him everything that had happened just now. However, Terrence opened his mouth. ¡°Mina, I don¡¯t want others to know about what happened today,¡± Terrence said coldly. He meant his parents and Alexa. Mina broke out in a cold sweat when she looked into his eyes. Terrence had never been so cold to them. ¡°No one will know it, sir.¡± Terrence¡¯s gaze softened, as he said meaningfully, ¡°I trust you.¡± After having dinner with Brynlee, Terrence went to the hospital. Alexa was helping Rebekah have dinner. Looking at the table, Terrence saw that Alexa had not touched her food at all. ¡°Are you finished? Have you had anything?¡± Alexa asked cheerfully. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! ¡°Yeah.¡± Terrence took the bowl and spoon from Alexa. ¡°Morn, are you feeling better?¡± ¡°With so many doctors taking care of me, how can I not get better? You should be more concerned about Alexa.¡± Rebekah tried to teach Terrence how to be a good husband. Alexa didn¡¯t expect Rebekah to say that. ¡°Rebekah, I¡­¡± Before Alexa could finish, Terrence came forward, grabbed her hand, and led her to the table. ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t¡­¡± Alexa flustered, her cheeks turning red. After Terrence took out the food for her, Alexa started eating while scrolling on her phone. Her favorite designer, Amanda Wilson, posted new designs on Twitter. Alexa clicked the page. Her smile froze when Alexa saw the drawings. She got up and almost dropped her phone. This was impossible. How could Amanda¡¯s works be so simr to hers? ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Terrence asked. ¡°Nothing¡­¡± Alexa said absent-mindedly and then rushed away. Terrence followed her and saw her squatting in the corridor and looking defeated. ¡°What happened?¡± Terrence asked softly. ¡°You might not believe it, but someone stole my designs,¡± Alexa said gloomily. ¡°Who is it?¡± Terrence got much more serious, although his tone was still gentle. ¡°It¡¯s a famous designer, but I have no evidence to prove it.¡± Chapter 115 Chapter 115 Chapter 115 Thinly Disguised Without evidence, Alexa could not do anything. Alexa stood up, refusing to let emotions get the better of her. ¡°Forget it. I¡¯ll redesign it,¡± Alexa said gloomily. In front of a business tycoon like Terrence, Alexa was thinly disguised. Terrence held her face in his slightly rough palms. ¡°Show me. We can solve it together.¡± Alexa could only trust him now. So, without further ado, she found the two designs. ¡°Her color match, cutting, and even details are the same as mine. How could this be a coincidence? But the thing is I don¡¯t even know her,¡± Alexa told Terrence all her grievances. Terrence smoothed the stranded hair on her temples and said with a smile, ¡°Leave it to me. Don¡¯t cry.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not crying,¡± Alexa whispered, pursing her lips tightly. Her eyes turned red, but she still refused to admit that she was crying. ¡°Liar.¡± Terrence exposed her lie, as he took a step closer to her. A bit frightened, Alexa took a step back and leaned against the wall. Terrence straightened up her cor. When he looked up, he saw Alexa closing her eyes and breathing rapidly. Terrence chuckled. His smile was contagious. He flicked Alexa¡¯s forehead and teased her. ¡°Why are you so nervous? What are you thinking about?¡± Terrence¡¯s voice was so charming that Alexa could not hide her thoughts. ¡°Nothing. Let¡¯s go.¡± Alexa didn¡¯t want to talk about it, but Terrence got something on her and stood still. ¡°There is one remaining issue.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± Alexa asked seriously. Terrence leaned over and covered her tender lips with the warm, thin ones of his. Being pushed against the wall, Alexa ced her palms on Terrence¡¯s chest in an attempt to stop him. His warmth spread to her body, setting her on fire. For such an innocent girl like Alexa, she just stood no chance in front of Terrence. Alexa went weak at her legs under Terrence¡¯s passionate kiss and fell into his arms. She could smell the fragrance on his high-end customized dark gray striped suit. The fresh, light scent was just like Terrence himself, making her crazy and want more. Alexa was short of breath after the long, passionate kiss. Terrence held her up. She immediately realized what had happened and got up. Either of them could breathe properly. Alexa cast a profound nce at Terrence, straightened up her clothes in a slightly flustered manner, and hurried out. Having sorted things out, Alexa left the hospital and returned to Duckdale Vi, half-mindedly. As Alexa was so concerned about the design, she didn¡¯t notice Mina was not her usual self. She walked straight to her room. Her design drafts were neatly stacked on the table. Alexa quickly found something strange. This wasn¡¯t supposed to be. The drawings were in the wrong order. Someone had touched her things. Anxious and angry, Alexa found Mina. ¡°Mina, who came to my room?¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, no one entered your room.¡± Mina lowered her head, not daring to look into Alexa¡¯s eyes. ¡°It can¡¯t be. Are you sure, Mina?¡± Alexa asked. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, no one got into your room. You and Mr. Ramsey are both in the hospital. Who else would be here?¡± Mina forced a smile. After that, Mina hid in the kitchen, feeling guilty. Alexa leaned against the railing in a heavy mood for a long time. Mina lied to her. Terrence had told her that no one knew that Rebekah was in the hospital. Even the maids didn¡¯t know that. But Mina said that they were in the hospital and emphasized that no one woulde at this time. Her emphasis made her very suspicious. Alexa stayed in the room for a while, and soon someone knocked on the door. ¡°Come in.¡± It was Mina carrying some soup. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, you must be exhausted. I asked the chef to make some chicken soup.¡± ¡°Thank you, Mina.¡± Mina walked into the room. Alexa moved to the doorstep and locked it without being noticed. ¡°The soup tastes better when it is hot.¡± Mina turned around, only to see Alexa standing at the door and staring at her with a profound expression. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Mina, how many years have you been in the Ramsey family?¡± Her words made Mina let her guard down. ¡°It has been thirty years. I¡¯ve been with Mr. Ramsey as he grew up,¡± Mina said. ¡°If it¡¯s the case, then is it Terrence who asked you to lie to me?¡± After all, the only person in the family who could give Mina orders was Terrence. This caught Mina off guard. She didn¡¯t expect Alexa to be so straightforward. She opened her mouth nervously. Apparently, she had note up with an excuse. ¡°What is he hiding from me? Does it have something to do with his fianc¨¦e?¡± Alexa asked leisurely. For the first time, Mina felt that this seemingly frail and quiet woman was a real personality. ¡°Mr. Ramsey is treating you well. Why do you have to get everything straight?¡± Why couldn¡¯t Alexa learn to turn a blind eye to her husband¡¯s affairs, just like the wives of most rich men? But Alexa just couldn¡¯t do it. ¡°Mina, there are some things that you don¡¯t understand. I don¡¯t want to make things difficult for you. Off you go. Forget about the question.¡± Alexa found Brynlee¡¯s phone number with a long face. Due to the pressure from Terrence, Mina could only make do. When Mina left the room, she bumped into Terrence. The man stood at the top of the stairs, gazing at Mina sharply. Mina¡¯s face turned pale as she opened her mouth. ¡°Mr. Ramsey¡­¡± Terrence did not say anything. Instead, he darted an indifferent look at Mina and walked into Alexa¡¯s room, exuding dominance. Alexa did not hesitate at all. She had already called Brynlee. ¡°You stole my design.¡± Alexa was not asking her but telling Brynlee that she knew it. After her wrongdoing was exposed, Brynlee was not embarrassed at all. Instead, she chuckled. ¡°Sorry, I don¡¯t know what you are talking about.¡± ¡°Brynlee, you are a bitch. Do you think you can take me down this way?¡± Alexa sneered. ¡°Are you nning to fight back? If you dare, I will ask my father to clean up all the remnants of the Duran family, including you,¡± Brynlee threatened her. Chapter 116 Chapter 116 Chapter 116 Is Everything OK? ¡°You?¡± Alexa smiled with contempt, e and try ¡°If you have guts, then expose this matter,¡± Brynlee said in a patronizing tone. ¡°See if anyone will believe you.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s wait and see.¡± Brynlee hung up the phone triumphantly after she heard Alexa¡¯s promise. As long as Alexa dared to expose this matter, Brynlee could directly ruin Alexa. It was not enough to drive Alexa out of the Ramsey family. Brynlee wanted to ruin Alexapletely so that thetter could no longer get involved with Terrence. Alexa angrily opened the door. Unexpectedly, she saw Terrence standing at her door. ¡°When did youe back?¡± Alexa said with less confidence, ¡°How is Rebekah going?¡± Terrence¡¯s face was gloomy and covered with deep exhaustion. He bypassed Alexa and slowly entered the room, sitting by the bed. ¡°David is there. I came back to get the documents.¡± ¡°Oh, okay.¡± Alexa stood at the door and answered weakly. She did not understand why he was sitting by her bed. ¡°Come here,¡± Terrence said in a deep voice and patted the seat beside him. Alexa suddenly could not control her feet and walked toward him. Before she sat down, Terrence suddenly grabbed her waist. Alexa was shocked and fell onto hisp in a panic. She looked up and met his deep and smiling eyes. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Alexa avoided his gaze because of shyness. ¡°Let me go.¡± ¡°Can we just sit here like this for a while?¡± Terrence gently buried his head into her neck like a resting lion. His powerful aura and gentle touch were close at hand. Alexa tightened her body and did not dare to move. Terrence, however, did not stop hugging. Soon, he started to work up. Alexa clearly felt Terrence¡¯s warm lips gently press on her skin. His strong arms tightly wrapped around Alexa¡¯s slender waist, and she could not escape at all. The air seemed to warm up, but Alexa was getting more and more nervous. She was still thinking of dealing with Brynlee. If Terrence knew about it, he might get into an argument with her again. Alexa instantly woke up. She gently pushed Terrence¡¯s arm and boldly changed the topic. ¡°Did Rebekah exin anything to youter? I will go to the hospitalter to take care of her.¡± Hearing this, Terrence betrayed an incredible emotion. ¡°Do you want to know?¡± Terrence asked in a charming voice. ¡°If you want to say it, you can¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing more than that old stuff.¡± Terrence chuckled. ¡°She won¡¯t allow us to divorce, and she wants us to have a child.¡± No divorce and a child¡­. Alexa¡¯s face was pale. She did not expect Terrence to say such a thing. ¡°What did you say to her?¡± ¡°Hmm¡­¡± Terrence pondered for a moment. He suddenly paused before finishing hisst words, ¡°I won¡¯t tell you.¡± Alexa blushed and said angrily, ¡°Childish.¡± ¡°Childish?¡± Terrence chuckled. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, do you mean that you want to talk to me in detail?¡± ¡°Of course not!¡± In front of Terrence, Alexa was always subservient. The more Alexa thought about it, the angrier she became. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. ¡°I¡¯m not interested in you!¡± Alexa retorted boldly. In an instant, the atmosphere in the room seemed to suddenly freeze. Not interested¡­ Terrence silently chewed on these words, his face full of disbelief. Alexa struggled against his embrace, but Terrence didn¡¯t let her go. Instead, a momentter, she was pressed under Terrence tightly. Alexa suddenly copsed. She frowned and asked, ¡°What are you doing?¡± Terrence skillfully sat on her legs. He said in a yful and evil voice, ¡°What if I ask you to fulfill your obligations as my wife now?¡± ¡°No,¡± Alexa said firmly. ¡°Are you not interested in me?¡± ¡°No.¡± ¡°You have to prove it.¡± The current posture of the two was hard to describe. Alexa was so afraid that she did not respond at all. In Terrence¡¯s view, this meant that Alexa was not interested in him. ¡°Why do you hate me so much?¡± Alexa suddenly opened her tightly shut eyes and really did not know what to say. In the past, when she and Brenton were in a rtionship, she would only drink coffee and hold hands with Brenton because of Keyon¡¯s warning. It waspletely immature and youthful campus love. Moreover, Brenton also knew the boundary. He had never done anything beyond Alexa¡¯s permission. Therefore, facing Terrence now, Alexa was very afraid. Terrence stood up in frustration and quietly dressed up. ¡°Goodnight,¡± Terrence said coldly to her. Alexa didn¡¯t expect his attitude to change so quickly. She couldn¡¯t utter a word. Her heart ached very much. ¡°Okay¡­¡± Just by saying one word, she was so nervous that her voice trembled. After all, Terrence was not Brenton. He could not be as tender as Brenton who could always indulge her and pay attention to her emotions. Terrence¡¯s kindness always depended on his mood. When he was happy, he would flirt with her. When he was unhappy, he would treat her as a stranger. Who did he think he was? Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. Alexa was furious, but Terrence knew nothing about it. After the two of them separated in silence, Terrence quickly walked into the bathroom and took a cold shower for more than half an hour. He never dared to face Alexa. He did not dare to hug her or kiss her for a long while. As long as he lost control, what would bring Alexa would only be endless harm. Late at night, Alexa tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Her heart was a mess. The phone beside her suddenly rang, and she immediately picked it up to check. It was a private Twitter message. She had not used this function for a long time. ¡°How are you going? Is everything alright? Winter ising in New York.¡± Alexa looked at the sender¡¯s ID. The familiar name stimted her eyes. Brenton. Well, speak of the devil. Alexa clicked on the dialog box and replied somehow. ¡°Everything is fine.¡± As soon as the message was sent, the other party quickly replied. ¡°Well, I¡¯m fine too. It¡¯s still raining in London. Time goes on slowly.¡± Alexa did not want to get involved with him anymore, so she did not reply to this message and immediately dropped out. ¡°Alexa, I miss you.¡± This message was not received. The system prompted that the other party had logged out of Twitter. Brenton stared at Alexa¡¯s response, ¡°Everything is fine.¡± He stood on the balcony and exposed himself to the cold wind all night. These people really knew how to pick the time to torture her. Alexa threw away her phone and pulled the quilt to wrap herself tightly. Design drafts, Terrence, and Brenton. These thoughts lingered in her heart like vipers. Alexa stayed awake for the whole night. The next day, when she opened her eyes, she immediately sent an email to Kimora, intending to deal with this matter herself. Chapter 117 Chapter 117 Chapter 117 You Don¡¯t Deserve to See Him As soon as Kimora heard about this, she asked people to investigate without saying much. Alexa sighed and felt upset. Mina must know something. Should she go and ask her again? However, when Alexa walked to the dining table, Mina was not the one waiting for her. ¡°Hello, Mrs. Ramsey.¡± The middle-aged woman showed her working ID. ¡°I am the newly appointed housekeeper, Angelica Klein. From today onwards, I will be taking care of you.¡± Alexa lightly frowned and subconsciously asked. ¡°Where is Mina?¡± Angelica replied calmly. ¡°She had a family affair, and she probably won¡¯t being back for a long time.¡± Did it happen at such a time? Alexa was not a fool. She could sense that something was wrong. She did not ask any more questions but packed up her things and went out without eating breakfast. Angelica paid attention to her every move. As soon as Alexa went out, she called Terrence. Alexa walked to the bus stop and watched the carsing and going in silence. The bus she was going to take would arrive every 30 minutes. There were dozens of expensive and luxury cars in Terrence¡¯s garage, but Alexa never drove any of them, let alone ask the driver to send her. Her nominal husband was a billionaire with great power, but she couldn¡¯t even share any bit of the benefits. Alexa sighed and moved her sore legs. A whistle sounded in front of Alexa. She looked over in shock and hid away. Not long after, the car window rolled down, and the person in it waved at her warmly. ¡°Alexa. Where are you going? I¡¯ll give you a ride,¡± As if Alexa could not hear the voices around her, she stared at the woman¡¯s delicate face in a daze. It was Brenton¡¯s mother, Tania Darrell. Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. ¡°Hello, Mrs. Darrell,¡± Alexa greeted Tania and subconsciously took a step back. ¡°I¡¯ll take the bus. You don¡¯t have to do this.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay!¡± Tania immediately got out of the car and held Alexa¡¯s hand in a high-profile manner. ¡°Can you please chat with me?¡± ¡°Alright¡­¡± Alexa¡¯s voice was low as if she couldn¡¯t be confident in front of Tania. It was the truth. This was the mother of her ex-boyfriend! As soon as Alexa got in the car, she felt as if torture was waiting for her. Alexa sat in the passenger seat in a daze, unable to say a word. Tania adjusted her gold-rimmed sses and meant harshness even though her tone was soft. ¡°Alexa, I heard that you are married.¡± ¡°I am.¡± ¡°So, women prefer reputation and wealth instead of love.¡± Alexa pursed her lips and did not dare to answer. Tania chuckled and said tly. ¡°I told Brenton many times that everyone has their ambitions, but my son is born stubborn. No matter what I say, he won¡¯t listen.¡± Thinking of what Brenton said to her yesterday, Alexa had mixed feelings. How could Brenton still not let go? She was such a cruel and heartless person. She was not worth him at all. ¡°Mrs. Darrell¡­¡± ¡°Alexa. I find some things funny when I think about them now,¡± Tania smiled more brightly as she spoke indifferently. ¡°On the day of your marriage, I locked Brenton in the house, but he cut his wrist and said that he wouldn¡¯t recognize me as his mother.¡± Alexa¡¯s breathing gradually became heavy, and her hands that were ced on her knees gradually clenched. Tania tilted her head, nced at Alexa, and saw her loneliness. This wasn¡¯t enough. Alexa just shed tears, but the torture that Brenton suffered was much more painful! Tania chuckled a few times in a row, but the emotions in her eyes were fading. ¡°Alexa, do you think it¡¯s funny?¡± What was so funny¡­. Alexa lowered her head as if she was in a cold winter. ¡°Mrs. Darrell, I¡¯m sorry.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t need to apologize.¡± Tania waved her hand. ¡°I failed to discipline my son. He caused so much trouble for you.¡± ¡°No¡­¡± Alexa muttered. Her voice was so low that even she could not hear it. ¡°Oh right, Alexa. How are your parents doing? Where¡¯s Keyon? I haven¡¯t seen him for a long time.¡± Tania¡¯s clear voice was like a sharp knife stabbing Alexa¡¯s body. ¡°We¡¯ve chatted for so long, but I haven¡¯t asked where you¡¯re going.¡± ¡°Mrs. Darrell, just drop me here.¡± Alexa forced herself to hold back her emotions. ¡°Sorry to trouble you.¡± Tania parked the car, and Alexa got out of the car with her back facing Tania. From beginning to end, Alexa did not dare to look Tania in the eye. Looking at that thin silhouette, Tania did not feel any pity or softness in her heart. ¡°Alexa,¡± Tania spoke again. ¡°Brenton will be returning in a few days. If you have time,e to my ce to talk about the old days.¡± ¡°Mrs. Darrell, as you said back then¡­¡± Alexa¡¯s eyes were red as she tried to hold back her tears. ¡°I won¡¯t see him again.¡± ¡°Yes, indeed.¡± Tania¡¯s expression turned utterly cold. ¡°You don¡¯t deserve to see him.¡± With such harsh words spoken, Alexa took a breath with difficulty, and Tania immediately drove away. In the end, Alexa walked step by step toward the bus stop. When she arrived at the hospital, Kieran just came back from the check-in. Seeing that Alexa look upset, he immediately showed a soft smile. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Kieran asked in a low voice. ¡°Did you not rest well?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Alexa wrapped herself tighter with the clothes and followed Kieran to the CT scan room. ¡°You¡¯ll have a CT scan today. I¡¯ll arrange for other treatments.¡± ¡°Hmm.¡± Alexa replied weakly. She took off the ring and handed it to Kieran. ¡°Go. I¡¯ll wait for you outside.¡± After she entered, Kieran fiddled with the ring in his hand. It was a diamond ring, and Kieran had never seen Alexa wear it before. When Kieran was lost in his thoughts, the nurse in the CT room ran out in horror. ¡°Dr. Powell, the patient fainted!¡± ¡°First aid!¡± Kieran rushed in, carried Alexa, and ran to the emergency room. This was not the first time he carried her. This time, he felt that Alexa was much lighter. This was not a good sign for a patient with serious illnesses. An hourter, Alexa was sent out of the emergency room. Kieran stood in front of her bed with a serious expression. The nurse who came to deliver the nutritious meal could not help but feel shocked. Was the rumor that Alexa was Kieran¡¯s sweetheart true? When Alexa woke up, she seemed to smell the scent of food. She looked aside, and a spoonful of congee was handed to her. Kieran saw her astonished expression and gently exined. ¡°It¡¯s not hot.¡± ¡°Oh, thank you, Dr. Powell.¡± Alexa reached out. ¡°I¡¯ll do it myself.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t move.¡± Kieran stopped her. ¡°You¡¯re now on a drip. The needle may not be in the right ce if you move.¡¯ Kieran had been holding the spoon. Alexa felt sorry for him and took a sip. The smile on Kieran¡¯s face became much brighter. Chapter 118 Chapter 118 Chapter 118 Go to Kieran The congee was well made, and the taste of the ingredients was maintained. Alexa liked its softness and stickiness. Seeing that Alexa liked the congee, Kieran continued to serve her. Alexa ate silently and inadvertently looked at his hand. Kieran¡¯s fingers were slender. Although they were much fairer than ordinary people, they were warm and strong enough to give her a sense of security. ¡°Dr. Powell, you don¡¯t have to worry about me,¡± Alexa whispered. ¡°Go do your job.¡± ¡°Are you full?¡± Kieran looked up. The congee was all that Alexa had eaten this morning, but she did not feel hungry. After eating just a little more, she lost her appetite. ¡°I¡¯m stuffed.¡± Alexa nodded and thanked Kieran. ¡°Thank you, Dr. Powell.¡± Kieran got up to take away the tableware and said gently. ¡°I was afraid that you wouldn¡¯t like the hospital¡¯s food, so I asked my chef to cook it. I¡¯m afraid it doesn¡¯t fit your preference.¡± ¡°No. Dr. Powell, it¡¯s delicious.¡± ¡°Since you like it, I¡¯ll ask them to cook some other food and then send it over.¡± Kieran¡¯s eyes were dark, but they were shining. ¡°How could I let you do that? I¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t always worry about causing me trouble,¡± Kieran said as he tilted his head. ¡°I never thought you are trouble.¡± Alexa¡¯s speech was stopped as if she had been hit hard by something. Kieran calmly packed up the utensils and quietly left the ward. Alexa looked at the needle on the back of her hand in a daze. The potion was injected into her body, and she felt warm. Alexa was absent-mindedly holding her phone and chatting about the design drafts with Kimora when she received a text message from a strange number. ¡°Alexa, I¡¯ming back from Ennd. What gift do you want?¡± Brenton was indeeding back. Alexa blinked and did not reply. She was like a bug hiding in darkness at the end of the world, silently peeking at Brenton¡¯s light. But she and Brenton were impossible to be together. Alexa had just put away her phone when Brenton sent another message. ¡°If you don¡¯t reply to me, I¡¯ll decide on the gift on my own.¡± Not long ago, she promised Tania that she would no longer have any rtionship with Brenton. But what was she doing now? ¡°No need.¡± Alexa answered with two words and then blocked the number. It was not long before noon. Bottles of liquid were yet to be injected, but the servants of the Powell family brought lunch over. ¡°Ms. Duran,¡± the woman leading the servants said kindly. ¡°We will put the food on the table. Please take your time.¡± Alexa was not used to such an address, but she did not say anything. ¡°Thank you,¡± Alexa said gently. ¡°Say thank you to Dr. Powell on my behalf.¡± ¡°Mr. Powell is now treating patients,¡± the woman said proudly with a smile. ¡°He wille over to eat with you after he is done.¡± ¡°No need to do that.¡± Alexa waved her hand. ¡°He doesn¡¯t need to stay with me.¡± The woman did not say anything and bowed together with the servants behind her. ¡°Enjoy the meal.¡± Alexa picked up the spoon nervously, but Terrence called her. ¡°Where are you?¡± the person on the phone said calmly. ¡°Come back to eat.¡± ¡°I¡­¡± ¡°Where are you now?¡± Terrence¡¯s tone became gloomier as if this was an important question. ¡°I have things to do now.¡± After Alexa said this, she added, ¡°But don¡¯t worry, I will go to the hospital to take care of your mother as soon as possible.¡± ¡°Hmm,¡± Terrence responded tly and continued to ask, ¡°what are you doing?¡± ¡°Just a small matter.¡± Alexa promised, ¡°I will be back soon.¡± ¡°Whose car did you take when you went out?¡± Terrence suddenly asked this question, and Alexa¡¯s face immediately paled. It seemed that there was no need to lie to him. ¡°It was Brenton¡¯s mother. She gave me a ride.¡± ¡°Brenton¡¯s mother¡­¡± When Terrence mentioned the word ¡°Brenton¡±, he seemed to have gritted his teeth. ¡°You have a good rtionship with her,¡± Terrence spoke slowly. Then he asked patiently, ¡°Where are you now?¡± ¡°I¡¯m at St. Paolo Hospital. I¡¯ll be back after I get some medicine.¡± These words instantly angered Terrence. ¡°You went to Kieran again? Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! ¡°There are so many doctors in New York. Why always Kieran? ¡°Alexa, you are challenging my patience, aren¡¯t you? ¡°Come back, or I will send someone to take you back! ¡°You¡¯re so bold! How dare you go to him behind my back?¡± Terrence roared repeatedly. Alexa was stunned by his fierceness and did note back to her senses for a long time. ¡°I see.¡± She said these words indifferently, and Terrence seemed to have problems venting his anger. How could Alexa be so hateful? He had told her that Kieran was up to no good, but Alexa not only refused to listen but also kept getting closer to Kieran. Since she liked Kieran so much, then he would not let it happen. As long as his signature wasn¡¯t on the divorce agreement, other men couldn¡¯t be with her! Terrence¡¯s mind became more and more twisted, and he wished he could get Kieran over and tear him to pieces right now. Under Terrence¡¯s pressure, Alexa had to end the treatment ahead of time. She bought some medicine for the flu and took a taxi back. Kieran was not surprised when he learned that Alexa had been discharged from the hospital. He did not even raise his head as he wrote the medical record and instructed the servant in an orderly manner. ¡°Make another meal and send it to her ce. Make your purpose clear and don¡¯t let others. misunderstand.¡± ¡°Yes, Mr. Powell.¡± Half an hourter, Terrence, who was sitting at the dining table, watched with a gloomy face as Alexa showed up at the door. Alexa changed her shoes and went upstairs. She ignored Terrence. Terrence could not bear it any longer and stood up to walk toward her. His tall shadow covered Alexa. ¡°Please get out of my way, thank you.¡± Terrence did not say a word and simply snatched the bag from her hand. There was just some medicine for the flu inside. Terrence¡¯s face turned gloomier. He threw the bag aside and grabbed Alexa¡¯s wrist. ¡°You have to make it clear today. Why did you go to Kieran?¡± Alexa was pulled upstairs by Terrence. When she realized that Terrence was going to take her to the room, she broke down. ¡°Let go of me! Let go!!¡± Alexa fell to the ground and desperately pulled Terrence. But the gap between their strength was great, so Alexa couldn¡¯t break free from his grasp. Suddenly, Terrence felt a heart-wrenching pain in his palm. Chapter 119 Chapter 119 Chapter 119 Throwing the Ring Away Terrence¡¯s sullen and quiet eyes gleamed fiercely. He looked icily down at the woman kneeling at his feet. Alexa bit the back of his hand with tears all over her face. She bit him so hard that blood kepting out. The salty tears dripped into his wound, and the pain became even more severe. But Terrence seemed to feel nothing, staring at her movements. Angelica, who came after hearing the noise, saw this scene and was almost scared out of her mind. ¡°Mr. Ramsey ¡­ Mr. Ramsey is injured!¡± She hurriedly ordered the servants at the side, ¡°Hurry up and call the doctor over.¡± The hall was instantly a mess, and the rest of the servants rushed up, savagely pulling Alexa aside. Terrence calmly and elegantly took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood on his hand, looking cold. In the chaos, he met Alexa¡¯s gaze without a word. She fell to the side in a sorry state, like a defeated beast, yet her gaze was still arrogant and sinister. Alexa did not feel guilty at all. All the nerves in her body were tense. As long as Terrence dared to touch her again, she did not mind using an even more desperate method to deal with him. How could she not see that Terrence was such a nasty person before? He not only depreciated and threatened her but also restricted her freedom. Yet she was not a doll. She was a living person! Alexa stubbornly raised her hand to wipe away her tears, yet the situation became out of control. The more tears she had, the blurrier her vision was, Several doctors surrounded Terrence and nervously treated the wound on the back of his hand. Angelica silently made a gesture, and immediately, servants came forward, held Alexa¡¯s arms, pulled her back to the room. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey is so rude,¡± Angelica scolded. ¡°How dare she treat Mr. Ramsey like this? I must tell his parents to drive Alexa out.¡± As soon as Angelica finished speaking, she suddenly felt a chill run down her back. She silently turned around and saw Terrence¡¯s cold and frightening gaze. ¡°Get out,¡± he said indifferently. ¡°Mr. Ramsey¡­¡± Angelica immediately looked innocent. ¡°How can you say such words?¡± Terrence¡¯s patience disappeared in an instant, and his eyes became red. ¡°I told you guys to get out. Can¡¯t you hear me?¡± A furious roar sounded, and the pressure in the living room instantly made all the people not dare to make a sound. Angelica tacitly gave the people around her a look and quickly led everyone out. The huge vi suddenly quieted down. Terrence had never noticed that the house was so big and empty. The two people were separated. Alexa had been sitting by the window like a silent tree. There was noise at the door, but she did not move at all. Terrence slowly walked in with a ss of hot medicine and gracefully sat on the sofa. ¡°Come here,¡± he said in a low voice. Alexa gave him a look of disgust and then casually shifted her gaze outside the window. ¡°Alexa, my patience is limited. You better not anger me.¡± She had clearly seen the bandage wrapped around Terrence¡¯s hand just now. It was indeed very conspicuous, making her upset. Alexa finally dragged her tired body toward him. However, she had been sitting for too long, so her numb legs made her suddenly fall in front of Terrence. Terrence looked at her sorry state and had no intention of helping her. The atmosphere between the two people became awkward and frosty, but neither of them had any intention of admitting defeat. Terrence stretched out his hand and tapped the table, speaking indifferently. ¡°You bought the cold medicine. Take it.¡± The bruises on Alexa¡¯s body were faintly painful. She was not in the mood to please Terrence now. Following his words, Alexa took the ss of medicine and immediately turned to walk toward the window sill. Yet Terrence suddenly grabbed her left hand. ¡°What are you doing? Let go!¡± Alexa responded violently, but Terrence¡¯s grip became tighter and tighter, and his face was ghastly pale. ¡°Where is your ring?¡± Her ring finger was empty. There was only a mark left by the ring. ¡°Where is the ring?¡± Terrence asked with faint anger. Alexa frowned slightly, but her tone was light. ¡°I don¡¯t know. Maybe I dropped it somewhere.¡± ¡°You dropped it?¡± Terrence narrowed his eyes dangerously. ¡°Are you sure you didn¡¯t throw it away?¡± ¡°It¡¯s possible.¡± Alexa shrugged nonchntly. ¡°Maybe I threw it away with something else.¡± ¡°Alexa!¡± Terrence couldn¡¯t bear it anymore and roared. ¡°You must find it immediately!¡± His strength was so big that it seemed like he was going to crush her bones. Alexa had a pained look on her face and was getting more and more annoyed with him. Wasn¡¯t it just a ring? He had never cared about it, but now he was making a fuss! ¡°Isn¡¯t it just a ring? What¡¯s there to be angry about?¡± Alexa said unhappily. ¡°I willpensate you.¡±Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. ¡°I don¡¯t need you topensate me. Besides, you can¡¯t afford it,¡± Terrence sneered with a livid face. As she heard this, Alexa instantly got nervous. She was no longer the beloved daughter of the Duran family. Alexa bit her lip. She said desperately, ¡°Anyway, I can¡¯t find it. You can divorce me. I¡¯ll sign the agreement now!¡± ¡°As the daughter of the Duran family and my wife, you are like a shrew. Aren¡¯t you ashamed?¡± Terrence said with a gloomy face. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, don¡¯t say that. I don¡¯t deserve to be your wife.¡± As he heard this, Terrence¡¯s eyes darkened. He threw away Alexa¡¯s hand and ordered coldly. ¡°Quickly think back and find it.¡± Alexa pondered for a long time with a tense face. Suddenly, she took her phone and called someone. Terrence leaned close to her, afraid that he would miss any word. However, when he saw the words ¡°Dr. Powell¡± disyed on the screen, the anger in his heart once again surged out of control. Terrence grabbed the phone and put Kieran on speaker in the blink of an eye. A secondter, the call connected. ¡°Dr. Powell¡­ Are you free now? I want to ask you something,¡± Alexa said in a trembling voice. ¡°Well, I also have something to tell you,¡± Kieran replied gently. ¡°I asked my family¡¯s chef to make you a nutritious meal. It must have been delivered to you by now. Eat it while it¡¯s hot.¡± As soon as Kieran finished his words, the room instantly fell into a dead silence. The corners of Terrence¡¯s mouth curled into a sneer, and he took the phone closer to him in front of Alexa. ¡°Kieran, you¡¯re so cheeky. Return my wife¡¯s ring right now, or I will make your family unable to stay in New York,¡± Terrence said ruthlessly. Chapter 120 Chapter 120 Chapter 120 You Are Not Loved by Your Husband Hearing Terrence¡¯s threatening words, Kieran only felt that Terrence was extremely childish. Just as Kieran was about to speak, he suddenly heard Alexa, who was on the phone, apologizing very humbly. ¡°Dr. Powell, I forgot to bring the ring back this morning after I gave it to you. Sorry.¡± Hearing her voice, Kieran suddenly calmed down, because he cared about her feelings. In the end, Kieran held back his anger. ¡°Yes, you forgot it,¡± Kieran said indifferently. ¡°I¡¯ll get my assistant to send it over.¡± After hearing Kieran¡¯s words, Terrence got angrier. As soon as Alexa hung up the phone, Terrence angrily snatched her phone away. She did not even intend to struggle and let Terrence lose his temper. Terrence ran into Alexa¡¯s eyes when she stared at him without any feelings. Then he suddenly stopped and tried to hold back his anger. Terrence fixed his eyes on her face angrily. ¡°Why was your ring with Kieran? Why?¡± ¡°I just identally forgot to bring it back. The ring is still there.¡± They did not focus on the same topic at all. Terrence was angry and kept silent, but Alexa treated him particrly indifferently. In the end, he could not squeeze out a word and sat on the sofa in anger. Alexa did not even give a glimpse at him and walked directly to the door. Terrence was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He instantly stood up in shock. ¡°Where are you going? Do you dare to take those damned things that he asked someone to send over?¡± Terrence roared in exasperation. He continued, ¡°Alexa, do you think I¡¯m blind?¡± Alexa was almost dizzy from his roaring for such a long time. ¡°I¡¯m going to drink a cup of water. Can¡¯t I?¡± Alexa said weakly. Hearing her words, Terrence said in an unnatural tone. ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Alexa pursed her lips and took the lead to walk out. She took a cup of cold water on her own, and in the blink of an eye, she saw those people guarding the door. Alexa did not care what Terrence was thinking about. She directly walked towards the door. When the servants saw her, they all had warm smiles on their faces and shouted together. ¡°Hello, Ms. Duran. This is the nutritious meal prepared by us ording to Mr. Powell¡¯s order.¡± Terrence walked behind Alexa with a poker face and just heard the word ¡°Ms. Duran¡±, which seemed extremely sarcastic to him at that moment. Terrence had managed to calm down, and in an instant, he felt mad again. ¡°What? Ms. Duran?¡± Terrence frowned with a terrible expression. ¡°Why are you calling her that way? Call her Mrs. Ramsey!¡± Hearing Terrence¡¯s voice, the servants immediately got paled and lowered their heads. No one dared to speak again. Alexa silently sighed and felt very helpless. However, before she could do anything, Terrence firmly grabbed her wrist and forced her into the house. ¡°Wait a minute.¡± Alexa boldly grabbed his sleeve. ¡°Let me deal with the matters here before I go in.¡± Terrence stared deeply at her and subconsciously stopped. Alexa returned to the servants and said gently. ¡°Please thank Mr. Powell on my behalf. I appreciate his kindness, but I don¡¯t need the things that you sent here.¡± ¡°But Ms. Duran¡­ Mrs. Ramsey, Mr. Powell told us to send it to you.¡± Alexa felt it extremely annoying¡­ If she indeed brought these things into the house, Terrence would no doubt go crazy. After refusing it several times, Alexa finally saw those people off. When Alexa turned around, she found Terrence¡¯s face simply too dark. At that moment, it became dead silent again. Alexa ignored Terrence and went straight to her room. Terrence continued to pester her, and this time, he directly held her hand. A disgusting expression shed across Alexa¡¯s face, and she immediately pulled her hand back. ¡°Where are you going? You haven¡¯t exined what happened just now.¡± ¡°What else do you want me to exin? Didn¡¯t Kieran ask someone to send the ring back? You can wait in here,¡± Alexa replied impatiently. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Terrence seemed to be angry. ¡°You lost the ring.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t I get it back for you?¡± Alexa was extremely angry. ¡°Take itter. I don¡¯t want it!¡± Alexa took the opportunity to shake off his hand when Terrence was not paying attention to it. Terrence did not even look at the back of Alexa who escaped away, but he was shocked and stayed unmoved for a long time. What did Alexa mean? Didn¡¯t Alexa want the wedding ring anymore? What did she mean? Terrence didn¡¯t go to Alexa¡¯s room again and went to the garage in anger. Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. Not long after, he stepped on the elerator and drove away in an earth-shattering way. Alexa saw it, but she had no other emotions. She was calm. After changing her mood, Alexa got dressed up and went to the hospital. Only Jason was apanying Rebekah in the ward where she was in. They were chatting peacefully when they saw Alexaing. Alexa just drew their attention. ¡°Alexa! Why are you here alone?¡± Rebekah asked in confusion. Alexa sat on the sofa by the side and answered elegantly. ¡°Terrence is working overtime at thepany. He wille backter.¡± Rebekah nodded thoughtfully and patted the bedside. ¡°Alexa, sit over here and let me take a good look at you.¡± After that, Rebekah turned her head aside to look at Jason. ¡°Jason, do you find her looking so weak again?¡± Jason pushed his eyesses and sized Alexa up with care. ¡°You are indeed too thin now. Did Terrence annoy you?¡± ¡°No¡­ Look, guys, you have always been so concerned about me. I¡¯m so embarrassed.¡± Alexa touched her face in a lovely way. ¡°Why?¡± Rebekahughed at Alexa and held her hand affectionately, ¡°we are always a family. Don¡¯t worry about it. ¡°You two enjoy yourselves first. I¡¯ll call Terrence toe over.¡± After Jason finished speaking, he immediately dialed the numbers to call Terrence. ¡°Alexa, sometimes, you have to use some methods to trap him in your love. Don¡¯t keep a distance. from him,¡± Rebekah whispered. ¡°Rebekah¡­¡± Alexa blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment. ¡°Do you know what I mean? I can give you some suggestions.¡± Hearing what Rebekah said, Alexa did not know how to respond to her. Rebekah even talked about the ¡°love trap¡±. ¡°Terrence¡­ Well, he is quite good. We are in a good rtionship,¡± Alexa said in embarrassment. ¡°He has been back home every night, right? Is he still in contact with Brynlee?¡± Rebekah asked earnestly. ¡°Yes, of course. They have no contact now!¡± Alexa exined repeatedly. Rebekah kept silent. She had a bad impression of Terrence secretly. Alexa was speaking for him again! ¡°You don¡¯t look like being loved by your husband,¡± Rebekah said earnestly. She worried about Alexa. ¡°Terrence just has not realized how good you are.¡± Chapter 121 Chapter 121 Chapter 121 As If You Are by My Side It was not the first time that Alexa lied because of Terrence, but no matter what she said, Rebekah would always see through her lies at a nce. ¡°Alexa, I know you are in a difficult position between us.¡± Rebekah patted Alexa¡¯s hand tofort her. Rebekah added, ¡°In the future, you don¡¯t have to speak for Terrence in front of me. Terrence just needs to be taught a lesson.¡± ¡°Rebekah, I got it,¡± Alexa smiled sweetly. ¡°Let me serve you an apple.¡± They chatted happily, and not long after, Jason returned. ¡°I¡¯ve already called Terrence and asked him toe over immediately.¡± After that, Jason, who had always had a good temper, said with a regretful tone. ¡°Nonsense! He just messed everything up regardless of such a peaceful life¡­¡± ¡°Jason, Rebekah, it¡¯s okay¡­¡± Before Alexa finished, the phone in her pocket suddenly rang. Alexa saw the phone call from Terrence. Her expression changed slightly, and she immediately went outside to answer it. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Are you heading here?¡± Alexa asked indifferently. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey,¡± Alexa heard an unfamiliar male voice on the phone, ¡°it¡¯s about Mr. Ramsey. He ran into a car ident and is now in the New York Hospital. Pleasee over immediately.¡± Alexa waspletely shocked as if she had suddenly lost her mind. Terrence had a car ident?! Alexa didn¡¯t even have time to ask about details before she immediately ran outside. It was raining heavily in New York at night. Alexa did not take an umbre, and her whole body was soon wet. Her clothes were tightly attached to her body, but she could not feel it. Alexa was still arguing with Terrence a moment ago, but when she heard the news, Alexa still felt like a disaster. After all, they had spent three years together day and night. How could Alexa not care about. Terrence at all? Alexa ran to the VIP treatment room of the hospital as fast as she could. Alexa saw Terrence sitting inside. At that moment, Alexa was so anxious that she felt heartbroken. Terrence¡¯s left hand was wrapped in a piece of ster. In addition, his clothes were neatly worn, and he did not look like a person who ran into a car ident at all. ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Alexa opened her mouth and silently called his name. Terrence saw Alexa and was shocked for a moment. Alexa waspletely drenched. Her dark gray coat waspletely wet, on which water was dripping down bit by bit. Her long ck hair was about to reach her waist. But it now formed several strands, which made her look extremely miserable. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Terrence frowned with a gloomy look. ¡°Why did they call you? Who told you to come here?¡± Alexa stood alone by the side, and no one even handed her a towel to wipe her face. Terrence was now so impolite to her. Alexa had mixed feelings, and she instantly lost her temper. ¡°Terrence, watch out for your words!¡± Alexa shouted with tears in her eyes. ¡°The doctor said you ran into a car ident, and I was scared to death. It was raining so heavily outside, and I ran for so long to be here!¡± Terrence had never seen Alexa lose her temper. He turned to the bodyguards by the side and struggled. ¡°What are you looking at? Get out!¡± Alexa stood in front of Terrence with a gloomy face and stared at him silently. After everyone left, Terrence sighed helplessly. ¡°I didn¡¯t mean it. Don¡¯t be so angry.¡± After that, Terrence held Alexa¡¯s hand to beg for her forgiveness. However, Alexa ignored him. She shook his hand away impatiently. ¡°Get away! Don¡¯t touch me!¡± Alexa was like a barrel of gunpowder that could explode at any time. ¡°It¡¯s none of my business. I have to go back.¡± ¡°Edwin!¡± Terrence shouted with much strength. And a few secondster, Edwin, who was so busy that he had no time to pause, came in with a few high-end bags. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, all the things that you wanted have been prepared.¡± ¡°Good.¡± After seeing Edwin off, Terrence brought the bags in front of Alexa, as if he was presenting some treasure. ¡°Get dressed up first. You are already wet.¡± ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll leave now. Mr. Ramsey, please don¡¯t be rude, and don¡¯t touch me.¡± Alexa pushed Terrence¡¯s hand away with a poker face. Terrence was shocked, thinking, gosh, Alexa got angry. And he realized it was very difficult tofort Alexa. Terrence regretted it, but he was patient enough. He didn¡¯t hesitate and blocked the door. Alexa pushed him away unhappily. ¡°Get out of my way.¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, please don¡¯t be so rude.¡± Terrence deliberately imitated Alexa¡¯s tone. He continued, ¡°Don¡¯t touch me.¡± Alexa was annoyed, and she struggled to beat Terrence. She suddenly hit Terrence¡¯s wound covered with ster, and they both didn¡¯t expect it. Terrence immediately got pale and looked like he was in great pain. ¡°How¡­ how are you? Do you have great pain now? I¡¯ll call a doctor for you.¡± Alexa was in a panic. ¡°Are you going to go outside to call a doctor like this?¡± Terrence said calmly. ¡°You would be another patient in my ward since the wind is blowing so heavily.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense!¡± ¡°Then hurry up and get dressed up.¡± Terrence raised his eyebrows slightly. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! Alexa was persuaded by him. In the end, she still reluctantly picked up what Terrence had given her. Alexa got dressed up and went out of the bathroom. Terrence was lying leisurely on the bed, sizing her up. ¡°Have you finished it? Go ahead,¡± Terrence said calmly. What did Terrence mean by giving orders to Alexa in that way as if she was a servant? Alexa was indeed angry and said indifferently. ¡°I won¡¯t take care of you like a nurse. I will leave after I call a doctor for you.¡± ¡°Sure,¡± Terrence slowly agreed and said. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, before you call the doctor, can you serve me a tangerine?¡± ¡°No.¡± ¡°But I can¡¯t move my hand.¡± Terrence was like a big lovely cat. ¡°You don¡¯t even know how dangerous the car ident was. I¡­¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll peel it for you. Okay?¡± Terrence stopped and quietly watched Alexa peeling the tangerine. Her slender and fair hands were like top-notch works of art, making Terrence unable to forget. However, Terrence stayed unmoved now, and he just quietly looked at her ring finger. She still hadn¡¯t put on the ring. There was nothing on her slender finger, and Terrence seemed to lose his mind. ¡°I don¡¯t want that ring anymore,¡± Terrence spoke word by word, seeming to be angry. He said unhappily, ¡°Throw it away!¡± Alexa handed him the peeled tangerine. She didn¡¯t respond to his words. ¡°Up to you.¡± Just as Alexa finished speaking, arge group of people came in carrying things from outside the door. They moved a wardrobe, sofa, and something else in. Alexa took a closer look and found that it was all that she used in the Duckdale Vi. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Alexa asked in confusion. ¡°Don¡¯t misunderstand it. I¡¯m not forcing you to stay.¡± Terrence seemed to be innocent. ¡°If I miss you, I can sit on the sofa that you sat on, or read the books that you flipped over, even sleep on the bed that you slept on¡­ It would be as if you were by my side.¡± Chapter 122 Chapter 122 Chapter 122 He Has to Give up Did he hurt his head in the car ident? But Alexa didn¡¯t want to specte about him with the worst malice, but Terrence was indeed annoying. She was about to show her mercy when the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open. A beautiful figure rushed in. ¡°Terrence? Terrence.¡± Brynlee¡¯s voice sounded, and Alexa¡¯s heart instantly felt a chill. Brynlee threw herself into Terrence¡¯s arms with tears streaming down her face. She was unable to suppress her emotions any longer. ¡°That¡¯s good. You¡¯re fine,¡± Brynlee sobbed. ¡°When the doctor called me, I was almost scared.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯m all right.¡± Terrence gently raised his hand to hold Brynlee with a smile. Alexa looked at this scene with disinterest and happened to see Terrence¡¯s deep eyes and smiling face. ¡°It seems that someone hase to take care of you.¡± Alexa shrugged nonchntly. ¡°You guys continue this. I¡¯ll be leaving.¡± ¡°Alexa. Thank you for taking care of Terrence for me,¡± Brynlee said sincerely. ¡°It¡¯s raining heavily outside. I¡¯ll let my driver send you back.¡± ¡°No need,¡± Alexa directly refused. Brynlee did not give up just like that. She said in a strange tone. ¡°Why? Could it be that Mr. Powell is picking you up?¡± After hearing this, Alexa red at Brynlee. Terrence threw away the tangerine in his hand without a word, and he looked angry. Alexa said, ¡°Ms. Walton, you like to cook up a story and spread it around. Aren¡¯t you afraid that you¡¯ll be punished someday?¡± ¡°I just thought that something good was about to happen to you.¡± Although Brynlee was smiling, her words didn¡¯t sound friendly. ¡°I heard from my friends in the medical field that Mr. Powell could have gone to the top medical schools abroad to further his studies. But in the end, he chose to stay in New York. Of course, it was for the sake of you.¡± ¡°What nonsense are you talking about?¡± Alexa frowned and growled with a displeased expression. She would not believe a word of what Brynlee said. As for what Terrence thought, Alexa did not care. After all, no matter how she argued, Terrence would not believe her. After Alexa finished speaking, she left the ward without looking back. Before Brynlee could feel good, Terrence red at her. Brynlee was instantly shocked and showed a depressed expression. ¡°Terrence, why are you looking at me like that? I didn¡¯t do anything wrong.¡± ¡°Do you know a lot about Kieran and her?¡± Terrence asked with a hidden meaning in his words. ¡°ra¡¯s friend told me that the Powell family seems to have thoughts about Alexa.¡± When Brynlee said this, her gaze was intentionally or unintentionally fixed on Terrence¡¯s face. She wasn¡¯t sure Terrence was angry. ¡°Terrence, it¡¯s a good thing for Alexa to have a good husband,¡± Brynlee said innocently. ¡°Even if you treat her as your sister, there will be a day when you let go.¡± Terrence did not listen to Brynlee. He was silent for a while with a gloomy face. And he suddenly asked, ¡°Kieran doesn¡¯t intend to go abroad, does he?¡± ¡°No.¡± Brynlee was also a little unhappy. ¡°He stayed in New York for the sake of Alexa. How could he bear to leave Alexa?¡± Terrence seemed to understand something. His deep eyes were covered with ayer of gloom. No wonder Alexa would give the ring to Kieran. Terrence wondered what Alexa had done. Did she give Kieran some ridiculous promise, or was she ready to leave the Ramsey family? But Alexa was still too na?ve. Terrence had not yed enough, so how could he give up on Alexa? At that time, Alexa had already walked out of the inpatient building. Rebekah thought that Alexa had been taken away by Terrence and sent a message to tell Alexa that she did not need to go back. Alexa hid under the eaves and looked at the rain in front of her with a miserable expression. The night rain was even heavier than before. Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. But she had to go to the gate to get a taxi. Alexa gritted her teeth and took a step forward. But after a moment, she felt that the rain had suddenly lessened. She looked up and saw that there was a piece of ck umbre cloth over her head. Kieran stood and held an umbre by her side while keeping a distance from her. Alexa turned around and noticed Kieran¡¯s elegant and noble light brown suit at first nce. Kieran chuckled and stood beside her gently. ¡°Dr. Powell? Why are you here?¡± Alexa was shocked. ¡°I¡¯m here as a specially invited specialist to make a diagnosis. It just ended,¡± Kieran said slowly. ¡°Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Powell. Sure enough, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.¡± ¡°I will just do my best. Shall we go? I¡¯ll send you off.¡± Kieran turned his head around. ¡°Can I trouble you to take me to the gate? I¡¯ll just take a taxi.¡± ¡°There¡¯s a rainstorm tonight. I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be easy to take a taxi.¡± When Kieran finished speaking, Alexa had already followed him to his car. ¡°Get in the car. I¡¯ll send you back.¡± After seeing Alexa hesitating, Kieran subconsciously asked. ¡°Are you afraid that he will misunderstand?¡± ¡°Sorry¡­¡± Alexa said in a tangled voice. Kieran gently smiled. ¡°He doesn¡¯t have to misunderstand. If something happens between us, will it be his turn to have you?¡± After hearing Kieran¡¯s words, Alexa felt even more embarrassed. But before she could refuse, Kieran had already opened the door of the passenger seat for her. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Kieran pressed Alexa¡¯s shoulder. Alexa finally got in the car. As soon as Kieran got in the car, he turned on the heater, and the cold rain was blocked outside the window. Alexa unhappily looked at the rain on the window, and her heart seemed to also be experiencing heavy rain. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Kieran calmly picked up the topic and said very seriously. ¡°Did you encounter something unhappy? Do you want to tell me?¡± ¡°Dr. Powell, how long can I live?¡± Alexa asked calmly as if she was asking an insignificant question. Kieran, who had a calm temperament, almost stepped on the brake. His eyes were wide open, and he managed to stabilize his thoughts. ¡°Don¡¯t say such silly things.¡± Kieran slightly increased his tone. ¡°It¡¯s no problem for you to live a long life.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t lie to me. You haven¡¯t told me about the progress of my illness for so long. I can feel it myself.¡± ¡°I will never lie to you. And I am a doctor. I will cure you. You only need to believe me.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa nodded lightly. Her thoughts gradually went wild. It was already early in the morning when she returned to Duckdale Vi. Alexa didn¡¯t even eat and fell asleep on the sofa. When Terrence returned, he saw the curled figure on the sofa. Alexa didn¡¯t even cover herself with a quilt and slept with her clothes on. Terrence approached softly and quietly took out a brand-new ring from his pocket. He had also reced the original one, and the one in his hand was for Alexa. But when Terrence approached, Alexa, who was sleeping, suddenly opened her eyes. She didn¡¯t sleep soundly, and she had long felt Terrence wasing. ¡°Don¡¯te over.¡± Alexa cried out in rm and quickly dodged. There was a hint of disbelief in Terrence¡¯s eyes, and Terrence subconsciously lowered his tone. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. It¡¯s me.¡± ¡°I know it¡¯s you. That¡¯s why I had to dodge.¡± Chapter 123 Chapter 123 Chapter 123 The Reunion As soon as Alexa finished speaking, Terrence¡¯s face immediately revealed a monstrous expression. Terrence immediately hid the ring in his palm and withdrew his hand. A momentter, the warmth in Terrence¡¯s eyespletely faded away. Instead, his eyes were full of dark and deep suspicion. ¡°Who sent you back?¡± Terrence asked coldly. ¡°It¡¯s Kieran again, right? Do you think I didn¡¯t see it?¡± ¡°How can I take a taxi in such heavy rain?¡± ¡°Look at what you did with Kieran openly. Do you feel it is okay?¡± ¡°Whatever you think.¡± Alexa was not interested in arguing with Terrence, but Terrence stepped in front of her and blocked her way. ¡°Go and make me something to eat,¡± Terrence spoke up high. ¡°Why are you hiding?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll help you call the chef.¡± ¡°Who told you to call the chef? You go and cook for me.¡± Terrence was like an angry hooligan. Alexa nced at the ster in his hand and reluctantly walked to the kitchen. Terrence sat down at the dining table and silently watched the busy figure. Terrence could feel Alexa¡¯s reluctance by just looking at her back. After half an hour of busy work, Alexa finally brought a te of chips, scrambled eggs, and several pieces of bread to the table. The chips seemed crisp. The eggs seemed tender. And the bread seemed soft. Everything seemed yummy. Terrence tasted it and couldn¡¯t help but show a look of praise. ¡°You have improved a lot,¡± he said lightly. Alexa had never been in the kitchen before. How could she cook these? After thinking of the deeper reason, Terrence narrowed his eyes. ¡°Who taught you? Kieran?¡± Alexa wondered why Terrence kept talking about Kieran. She felt a little annoyed and tried hard to suppress her emotions. And she exined, ¡°No, I learned it myself.¡± ¡°Who do you want to cook for?¡± Terrence asked indifferently. ¡°It can¡¯t be me.¡± ¡°Of course, it¡¯s not you. I¡¯ll cook for my brother.¡± The person Alexa missed was Keyon rather than Kieran. Even though Terrence knew this, he was still not very happy. There were so many other people in Alexa¡¯s heart. How could Alexa take care of Terrence? There was no telling whether Keyon was dead or alive, but Alexa had already begun to look forward to the future of their reunion. Terrence mmed his fork on the table without warning, and his cold aura was too obvious to be ignored. Before Alexa could figure out what was going on, Terrence turned around and left with a cold. attitude. It had nothing to do with Kieran. Alexa wondered why Terrence behaved like this. Alexa ignored Terrence and put the te of food into the refrigerator. She found a quilt in the room and went back to the sofa to sleep. Early in the morning the next day, Alexa was woken up by Angelica. Angelica arrogantly stood in front of her and sneered with a fierce expression. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, there are so many rooms to live in. Why did you choose to sleep here? If somebody else sees it, what will they think of Mr. Ramsey?¡± Alexa was inexplicably scolded and had not rested wellst night, so she was not in a good mood at all. She directly got up and kicked something. Angelica was shocked and fell to the sofa in a panic. ¡°I don¡¯t care what you think.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Angelica was speechless for a moment. She nced at the figure on the stairs and immediately stopped talking. Alexa walked past Terrence without any emotions. When she finished making up herself and went downstairs, Terrence was eating breakfast at the table. She opened the refrigerator door, and the food fromst night unexpectedly disappeared. ¡°You saw¡­¡± ¡°I threw them away,¡± Terrence said indifferently. ¡°What?!¡± Alexa¡¯s blood instantly surged, and she wished she could immediately flip the table. But Terrence did not seem to feel that he was wrong at all. ¡°Why do you keep these disgusting foods?¡± Terrence asked coldly. Alexa took a few deep breaths to calm down. If she was more fragile, she would have been pissed off by Terrence. ¡°Can you be full just by looking at me? Sit down and eat,¡± Terrence ordered. Alexa sat down with a sullen face, and the surrounding atmosphere became embarrassing again. At that time, the chef entered with an empty te. If the chef hadn¡¯t seen how Terrence ate up this te of food with his own eyes, he would have believed what Terrence had just said. After a rather unpleasant breakfast, Alexa did not even say goodbye to Terrence and quickly left with her bag. She was going to Elvish Corp. today, and there should be progress on Kimora¡¯s side. But just as Alexa walked to the door, Kimora sent a message. ¡°Alexa? Last night, a decision was made during the board meeting. The impact of this matter is not very good. After multiple considerations, we decided to suspend our cooperation with you.¡± What?! Alexa was stunned. So, it seemed that she was fired by Elvish Corp. ¡°Kimora. It was Amanda who giarized my work.¡± ¡°I believe you. But Amanda is an internationally renowned designer. If Elvish Corp. gets into a conflict with her, it will not be good for thepany¡¯s image.¡± Since things hade to this point, Alexa did not have a choice. She sighed helplessly and epted the reality in panic. She seemed to have been experiencing her worst luck. Why was there no good luck? Alexa stood at the door for a while, and Terrence suddenly appeared next to her. ¡°Aren¡¯t you in such a hurry? Aren¡¯t you going out?¡± ¡°No.¡± Alexa coldly said one word, and her thoughts were a mess as she walked back. Terrence grabbed her thin wrist in time, and a powerful pressure hit her face. ¡°Alexa, what kind of attitude is this?¡± Terrence said word by word. ¡°What do you seem to be indifferent to me?¡± Alexa said, ¡°What obligation do I have to greet you with a smile? Let go. I still have other things to do.¡± Terrence nced at Edwin, who was standing by the car. There were still many important things to deal with in thepany. Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. So he said, ¡°We¡¯ll talk about this when I get back.¡± As soon as Terrence finished speaking, Alexa could not wait to take back her hand and seemed to be very disgusted to be touched by Terrence. Last time at the hospital, Terrence said that he would deal with this matter. But Elvish Corp. abandoned Alexa. Alexa finally understood that Terrence was helping Brynlee vent her anger openly. She didn¡¯t think that Terrence should pretend to be kind to her. After staying at home for the whole morning, Alexa went to the hospital listlessly. Coincidentally, ra was also here. ¡°Alexa, let¡¯s go to the coffee shop to have a chat. My brother is still in surgery, so I¡¯ll have to trouble. you longer,¡± ra said warmly. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, Ms. Powell. I¡¯m not in a hurry.¡± Alexa nodded. ¡°I haven¡¯t seen you in a long time.¡± ra suddenly changed the topic. ¡°I have been busy with the design exhibition recently. To find those excellent designers, I have put in a lot of effort.¡± Chapter 124 Chapter 124 Chapter 124 It Has Nothing to Do With You ¡°Design exhibition?¡± Alexa asked with a curious look on her face. ¡°Yeah,¡± ra chuckled and handed Alexa a business card. ¡°It¡¯s a jewelry design exhibition. If you have a suitable candidate, please rmend him or her to me.¡± Alexa stroked the low-key and luxurious business card in her hand and finally mustered up the courage to ask. ¡°Ms. Powell, may I¡­¡± ¡°Yes?¡± ¡°May I try?¡± ¡°So you are also a designer?¡± ra eximed with a shocked expression. She said happily, ¡°I¡¯ll be happy if you cane!¡± Alexa seemed to see the light of hope at this moment. ra continued, ¡°Although we are familiar with each other, you need to pass the director¡¯s interview. This is the rule of the Powell Group.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa nodded gratefully. ¡°Thank you, Ms. Powell, for giving me this opportunity.¡± ¡°I will arrange for her to meet you tomorrow if you have time. I still have something to do in the company, so I have to go now.¡± After sending ra away, Alexa couldn¡¯t calm herself down. She was too excited. As long as the Powell Group was willing to give her a chance, Alexa could definitely grab it with her strength! After ra got in the car, she unhurriedly picked up the phone. ¡°Have you settled everything? Why did you insist on bringing her to the Powell Group?¡± the person on the other end of the conversation said calmly. ¡°To get the upper hand, of course! I believe that they will soon get a divorce,¡± ra said proudly. ¡°ra, you should restrain yourself. It¡¯s too obvious. Aren¡¯t you afraid that she will find out that it¡¯s you who let Elvish Corp. break the contract with her?¡± Kieran said with a slight smile. ¡°The daughter of the chairman likes you. I just added fuel to the fire. Kieran, we are the same kind of person,¡± ra said slowly. After Kieran hung up the phone, the coldness on Kieran¡¯s face quickly faded and was reced by a gentle smile. It seemed that Terrence, such a smart man, had lost to Kieran this time. Terrence probably did not think that it was Kieran and ra who stirred up Amanda¡¯s giarism scandal and put pressure on Elvish. And Alexa would me all these things on Terrence. Kieran opened the door and invited Alexa into the office like a gentleman. At this time, in the president¡¯s office of Hudson Group, Terrence was checking the documents. Edwin stood respectfully beside him and reported Alexa¡¯s recent situation to him in detail. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey¡¯s works caused a great sensation in the fashion industry. However, we have hidden her true identity as you said, but Mrs. Ramsey has broken off the contract with Elvish,¡± Edwin said. ¡°She has broken off the contract with Elvish? When?¡± Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org. ¡°This morning. Elvish sent a termination letter to her. It was because of Amanda¡¯s giarism.¡± ¡°Why is it her? Didn¡¯t I tell you to deal with this matter?¡± Terrence threw away the document with a cold expression and looked at Edwin with cold. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, we have already dealt with it, but the Powell Group seems to have been involved recently¡­¡± Terrence¡¯s face darkened even more as he said, ¡°So what? Are you scared by the Powell Group?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mr. Ramsey.¡± Terrence pursed his lips tightly and said snappily. ¡°Go and bring Alexa over.¡± So, this was also why she was unhappy this morning?Terrence thought. But why didn¡¯t Alexa tell him? Terrence was a bit depressed. He could not see through Alexa all the more. Not long after, Edwin returned. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Mrs. Ramsey is not at home. She is in the hospital now. And ording to the investigation, she is now with Kieran,¡± Edwin said nervously. Edwin felt that Alexa had gone too far. So Edwin could not help but worry that Terrence would get angry. However, Terrence didn¡¯t get angry.¡± Terrence clenched his fists and finally let go. ¡°Then leave her alone,¡± Terrence said angrily. ¡°If she is willing to believe Kieran, then let her go.¡± ¡°Yes, Mr. Ramsey.¡± Edwin quickly understood that Terrence just pretended to be cool. Today, the entire Hudson Group building was shrouded in a depressing atmosphere. Anyone who was called into the office by Terrence would either be demoted or transferred out of the office. Anyway, every one of them suffered. In the evening, when Terrence returned to Duckdale Vi after work, Alexa had just stepped into the house. Seeing that she was dressed to the nines, Terrence asked in a gloomy tone. ¡°Where have you been all day today?¡± Alexa poured a cup of warm water for herself and said in detail. ¡°I went to the hospital for a follow-up in the morning and talked to Ms. Powell about the design. Then I went to the art exhibition in the afternoon.¡± ¡°You can¡¯t leave Kieran for a single day.¡± Alexa ignored the sarcasm in Terrence¡¯s words and said indifferently. ¡°Not everyone will care about me.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not interested in your business. I just can¡¯t tolerate you making me lose face.¡± Terrence was thinking too highly of himself again. Alexa smiled indifferently. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Mr. Ramsey. I have nothing to do with you.¡± Terrence gave her a cold and warning re. ¡°If you dare to have any contact with him again, I don¡¯t mind letting everyone know what my rtionship with you is.¡± His voice was low and maic, but Alexa felt disgusted. ¡°Don¡¯t you care about Brynlee¡¯s feelings?¡± After saying this, she did not give Terrence any chance to retort and went upstairs without looking back. Terrence was so angry with her that he raised his head and drank half a bottle of whiskey. In the middle of the night, Alexa was woken up by a loud noise. She wrapped herself in clothes tightly and angrily rushed to Terrence¡¯s room, knocking hard on the door. The door opened, and the person who came out was Brynlee. Brynlee was wearing a very sexy silk nightgown and stood in front of her gracefully. Alexa was like a vige girl under her morous contrast. ¡°Can you guys keep your voices down?¡± Alexa said unhappily. As soon as she finished speaking, Terrence wrapped Brynlee¡¯s waist and pulled her into his arms. Brynlee leaned against Terrence¡¯s chest and proudly nced at Alexa. ¡°Oh? Are we too loud?¡± Brynlee said in a coquettish voice. Her fair eyes were filled with pride. ¡°I¡¯m really sorry.¡± ¡°What does our business have to do with you?¡± Terrence saidzily, his deep eyes staring straight at Alexa. Alexa couldn¡¯t stand their shame, but she couldn¡¯t do anything, so she left discouragingly. Terrence narrowed his eyes with a trace of indifference. A momentter, he pushed Brynlee away and walked straight to Alexa¡¯s room. At this time, she was packing her clothes into the luggage bag. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Terrence¡¯s face instantly darkened. Chapter 125 Chapter 125 Chapter 125 Brynlee Offers to Get Engaged ¡°I¡¯m going to move out. This way, I won¡¯t disturb you,¡± Alexa said in a rxed tone. Alexa admitted that she hadpromised and given in. If Terrence stopped her, it would be a disgrace. ¡°When did 1 allow you to go out?¡± Terrence¡¯s tone was cold and even had a trace of irony. ¡°You want to move out so that you can be able to stay with Kieran? Alexa, don¡¯t dream about it.¡± ¡°I have said it many times. I have nothing to do with Kieran.¡± ¡°Oh, is that so?¡± Terrence obviously did not believe her. ¡°Then why did you go to see him every few days and get involved with the Powell Group?¡± ¡°Because they value me. I just want to realize my dream. I don¡¯t care what you think of me,¡± Alexa said calmly. ¡°In order to realize your dream, you can chat with him, hang out with him, and even sleep with him?¡± ¡°Terrence, don¡¯t nder me!¡± Alexa trembled in anger and tried her best to suppress her tears as she stared at Terrence. Terrence indifferently mmed the door and locked the door. In the cramped room, Terrence sneered as he slowly walked toward Alexa. ¡°Don¡¯te over!¡± Alexa said helplessly. Terrence¡¯s movements were ruthless, and he easily pushed Alexa to the bed. ¡°Go away!¡± ¡°Alexa, you really don¡¯t know what¡¯s good for you.¡± Terrence stared at her coldly and pinched her chin. ¡°Didn¡¯t I give you enough money? Why do you have to hook up with others?¡± Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. ¡°I don¡¯t need your money. You¡­¡± Before Alexa finished speaking, the strength in Terrence¡¯s hand suddenly increased. The pain in the chin made Alexa swallow all the words that she had not finished. In fact, Terrence was afraid, so afraid that he had to force Alexa to swallow her words. He didn¡¯t want Alexa to cut off all rtions with him, and he didn¡¯t want to hear her ungrateful words. Was Kieran worthy of her being so partial? Terrence had suppressed his depression for too long. As long as Alexa kindled his anger, the depression would drive him mad. ¡°Alexa, what do you think I should do?¡± Terrence¡¯s dark eyes were bloodthirsty. ¡°Can I lock you up so that those people will never find you?¡± ¡°No!¡± Alexa shook her head in horror and cried helplessly, ¡°Terrence, let go of me! Go away!¡± Alexa had been spoiled by the Duran family and grew up under the great care of all her family members, so she had never been in contact with any bad things. Even after experiencing so many blows, she was still not very strong. Now being threatened and bullied by Terrence, Alexa could not think of any other way besides crying. If nothing happened to the Duran family, Alexa should still be studying. She was only 23 and should have a brighter future, get to know someone better, and enjoy a greater time. But she had been married for three years now, and she had to pay attention to Terrence¡¯s joys and sorrows. If she was not careful, she would get into trouble. Terrence had let the copsed Duran Group survive, so the Duran Group owed him a favor, and he seemed to have a justified reason to do whatever he wanted to Alexa. The more Alexa thought about it, the more sorrowful she felt. She felt that her life was a living hell. ¡°Terrence, I hate you so much!¡± Alexa cried out. ¡°I will never forgive you!¡± ¡°What nonsense are you saying!¡± Terrence shouted in a low voice and was so angry that he was about to explode. Ignoring Alexa¡¯s sobs, he leaned down and fiercely bit her lips. The kiss was aggressive, without any tenderness or pity, and it was filled with hatred and anger.. Alexa was in great pain. Her delicate lips were bitten, and the smell of blood filled her mouth. As soon as she smelled this, Alexa wanted to vomit. She struggled to break free from Terrence¡¯s embrace, but before she could rush into the bathroom, she vomited on the ground with a painful expression. Terrence stood to the side. He wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand indifferently. When he saw Alexa¡¯s reaction, his face darkened, ¡°You must get my permission to go out starting tomorrow.¡± Alexa leaned against the wall with a pale face, and she felt extremely cold. ¡°So cold¡­¡± She murmured silently, but Terrence ignored her. He went straight to the door, and as soon as he opened the door, Brynlee impatiently poked her head in. ¡°Terrence, you haven¡¯te back for so long. I thought something had happened.¡± When she said this, Brynlee had been looking into the room. Terrence caught her timely and blocked Brynlee¡¯s line of sight. The door was closed again. Alexa weakly took a few steps holding onto the wall. She endured the difort and cleaned up the filth on the ground alone. However, her condition did not improve. Her temperature was too low, and she even began to feel dizzy. As soon as Alexay on the bed, she immediately fell asleep. The next day, Terrence and Brynlee went downstairs for breakfast, but Alexa had note out of her room. Angelica was particrly attentive today and waited on Brynlee with a smile. Terrence did not even move the tableware. Holding the newspaper, he pretended to ask casually. ¡°Where¡¯s Alexa?¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, she hasn¡¯t woken up yet.¡± Angelica thought, she¡¯s such azy woman, yet Mr. Ramsey still cares about her. ¡°Go and have a check,¡± Terrence coldly ordered. Angelica politely responded. But her face darkened when she turned around. She reluctantly walked to Alexa¡¯s room and knocked on the door. There was no response in the room, and Angelica immediately returned to Terrence¡¯s side. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, she is still sleeping. Don¡¯t worry about her.¡± When he heard this, Terrence¡¯s deep eyes shed with a cold light, and he nced at Angelica with a sense of oppression. Brynlee sensed Terrence¡¯s displeasure and immediately spoke up to change the topic. ¡°Terrence, the branchpany of the Walton Group in South Korea has begun to bid. I told my dad to take care of Hudson Group.¡± Terrence said in a low voice. ¡°I look forward to the sess of the cooperation.¡± The project was extremely important to Hudson Group. If he could win the bid, nopanies in the world could pose a threat to Hudson Group. More importantly, he needed to find something in South Korea. Brynlee felt proud and said. ¡°Terrence, after the bid, let¡¯s get engaged.¡± Hearing her talk about the engagement, Terrence looked a bit cold. ¡°Let¡¯s talk about it after the matter is settled. There¡¯s no hurry.¡± ¡°My parents have already fixed the date,¡± Brynlee said expectantly. ¡°It¡¯s on the next night of the bidding. Many celebrities will be there.¡± Chapter 126 Chapter 126 Chapter 126 Alexa Is Sent to the Hospital Terrence knew what Brynlee meant. If he did not agree to her request, Hudson Group might not be able to get that important bid. Terrence¡¯s calm eyes shed, and his thoughts became deeper. No one had ever dared to threaten him like this. What was more, being with her was just to make the cooperation with the Walton Group go more smoothly. ¡°Can you give me some time?¡± Terrence gently stroked Brynlee¡¯s long hair. ¡°Brynlee, you that I still have some things that I have not taken care of.¡± Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. Seeing Terrence¡¯s attitude, Brynlee could not help but be softhearted. ¡°Alright. We both need time to prepare for this.¡± Brynlee gave Terrence a way out. know ¡°Yes.¡± Terrence smiled and nodded. ¡°After breakfast, I will ask the driver to send you back.¡± ¡°Why, Terrence?¡± Brynlee immediately changed her expression and said unwillingly, ¡°Isn¡¯t it perfectly justifiable for me to live in my fianc¨¦¡¯s house?¡± Besides, Alexa was still here. Brynlee didn¡¯t want anything to happen before the engagement. ¡°Brynlee, you have to believe that I love you. I just don¡¯t want others to gossip about you behind. your back,¡± Terrence said firmly. ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Since Terrence had said so, the servants of the Ramsey family would definitely gossip about her if Brynlee did not agree. Terrence knew Brynlee¡¯s pain spot. The matter of her being Terrence¡¯s mistress would ruin her reputation in the upper ss, which was why she cared so much about her dignity. After thinking it over and over again, Brynlee still reluctantly epted his idea. After breakfast, Terrence went upstairs to get the documents. When he passed by Alexa¡¯s room, he subconsciously stopped for a moment. But the door shut him out coldly. The warmth on Terrence¡¯s face quickly disappeared, and he walked away with a cold face. At this moment, Alexa¡¯s room was silent. She was lying on the bed and had no sign of waking up. And she was in a terrifyingly abnormal state. Alexa¡¯s face was red, and she was panting heavily. If she did not catch her breath, she seemed to die at any time. At this moment, her hands tightly grasped the sheets, and she was enduring great pain. Alexa was in pain all over, so painful that she wanted to cry, but as long as her breathing was a little disordered, she would be in such great pain that she dared not cry. Was there anyoneing to save her? Would Terrencee? When Alexa thought of him, the hope in her heart was immediately shattered. Terrence had Brynlee with him. How could he think of Alexa? Alexa hunched her back and curled up, feeling like she was about to break down. There was amotion at the door. A group of people followed behind Edwin and tiptoed upstairs with a new mattress. Just now, Terrence suddenly asked Edwin to send a soft mattress to Alexa. Edwin did not dare to dy. After trying hundreds of mattresses, he picked the best one and sent it to Alexa. But when they sent the mattress to the door, they found that the door was locked. It was already noon. ording to Edwin¡¯s knowledge of Alexa¡¯s personality, he didn¡¯t think she would sleep in. Edwin was puzzled and was about to knock on the door when Angelica, who was standing at the entrance of the stairs, suddenly sneered. ¡°When Mr. Ramsey went out, she was still asleep. She didn¡¯t even get up to greet him. But that¡¯s normal. People from the humble family are rude,zy, and arrogant,¡± Angelica said sarcastically. Hearing this, Edwin looked gloomy. He adjusted the frame of his sses, and his shrewd eyes shed with extreme coldness and ruthlessness. ¡°Is it your turn to criticize her? From whom did you learn the rules? Just mind your own business!¡± Edwin shouted in a low voice. Angelica turned pale when Edwin scolded her. ¡°I didn¡¯t say anything wrong,¡± Angelica retorted, unconvinced. ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, the door. She won¡¯t even bother with you.¡± Hearing this, Edwin dropped his idea of knocking on the door. knock on ¡®Don¡¯t disturb Mrs. Ramsey when she is having a rest,¡± Edwin fiercely warned. After he had someone ce the mattress aside, Edwin left with his people. Terrence could not focus on work wholeheartedly this morning and always called Edwin into his office to ask about Alexa. Terrence flipped his phone, but he didn¡¯t call Alexa. Edwin knew that Terrence was waiting for Alexa¡¯s call. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, why don¡¯t you just call Mrs. Ramsey?¡± Edwin boldly suggested. Terrence was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on and got agitated. ¡°Who said I wanted to call her?¡± Terrence said angrily, ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense!¡± ¡°OK, Mr. Ramsey.¡± When he finished speaking, Terrence¡¯s phone suddenly rang. He couldn¡¯t wait to look at his phone and even quickly organize his words. But it was not Alexa who called, but Kieran. ¡°Is Alexa with you?¡± Kieran went straight to the point. Hearing that he was asking about Alexa again, Terrence was immediately furious. ¡°She is my wife. Shouldn¡¯t she be with me?¡± ¡°Hurry up and send her to the hospital. I can¡¯t contact her. I thought something had happened to her.¡± When he heard that, Terrence¡¯s heart fiercely twisted. Terrence forgot that Alexa needed to go to the hospital. He immediately hung up Kieran¡¯s phone and ran to the garage. Edwin had never seen Terrence so anxious and hurriedly followed him in confusion. Terrence gripped the steering wheel tightly and almost never let off the elerator. He rushed to the door of Alexa¡¯s room. He didn¡¯t even have time to adjust his breathing and directly smashed the door. ¡°Alexa! Alexa! Are you there? Open the door!¡± Alexa vaguely heard the movement at the door, but she couldn¡¯t respond. Terrence became more and more flustered. When the servant came to pick the lock, he still shouted Alexa¡¯s name. But no matter how much he shouted, Alexa did not respond. Ten minutester, the door lock was finally pried open. Terrence pushed the crowd aside and rushed in quickly. When he saw the trembling figure on the bed, he finally understood why he felt very uneasy in the morning. ¡°Alexa¡­ Alexa!¡± He shouted twice and immediately went forward to carry Alexa out of the bed. Alexa¡¯s back was wet and sticky with cold sweat. Terrence nced at the sleeping pills on the cab and rushed out with her anxiously and angrily. After Alexa was sent to the hospital, several doctors quickly sent Alexa into the emergency room. When Kieran heard the news, he rushed over and grabbed Terrence¡¯s cor angrily. The two strong men confronted each other, and the nurse at the side cried out with fright. ¡°Dr. Powell¡­¡± Kieran, who was usually gentle and humble to everyone, suddenly became so angry that his colleagues could not help but be shocked. However, both men were powerful, so no one dared toe forward to mediate between them. Chapter 127 Chapter 127 Chapter 127 Brenton Is Coming Back ¡°Since you don¡¯t care about her, why did you hurt her like this?¡± Kieran¡¯s expression was extremely gloomy, and the movements of his hands were very rough. ¡°Terrence, are you a human?¡± Terrence turned a deaf ear and pushed Kieran away with a look of disgust. ¡°What does our business have to do with you?¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Kieran wanted to rush up, but he was stopped by his colleagues who were rushing over. ¡°Dr. Powell, calm down!¡± The president of the hospital, Will Goldberg, scolded Kieran, ¡°How can you treat the patient¡¯s family like this?¡± Terrence stood coldly to the side. His malicious eyes were locked on Kieran, and the corners of his mouth curled into a sneer. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, I¡¯m really sorry.¡± Will stepped forward, trembling as if he was facing a demon who could eat people alive. ¡°We have arranged for the best doctor for Ms. Duran¡­¡± Before Will finished his words, Terrence¡¯s eyes suddenly turned sharp. Ms. Duran? What did Will mean? Will did not understand what was going on and blindly put on an even more respectful attitude. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, don¡¯t worry. Ms. Duran will be fine.¡± Such a firm guarantee did not ease the atmosphere. When Will raised his head to look, Terrence¡¯s face waspletely gloomy instead. Terrence looked at Kieran¡¯s gloomy face, and the smile on his face became colder and eviler. Terrence didn¡¯t know why Kieran was so annoyed. Kieran didn¡¯t know the situation, but he was judging Terrence from a moral high ground. ¡°Dr. Powell, since you are so good at treating illnesses, why don¡¯t you treat yourself first? You seem to catch an illness of interfering with other people¡¯s business.¡± Terrence sneered, ¡°I showed enough respect to you every time I meet you. Why don¡¯t you cherish it?¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, you should keep thatment to yourself.¡± Kieran retorted, unwilling to be outdone. ¡°That¡¯s a lot of nerve.¡± Sure enough, when Kieran said these words, Terrence clenched his teeth. Although Terrence was silent and forbearing, Kieran could still clearly feel the overflowing anger around Terrence. Angry? That was what Kieran wanted to see. Kieran felt inexplicable pleasure in his heart. Seeing Terrence being so defeated, Kieran felt very good in his heart. Will was afraid that things would get out of hand, so he immediately asked other doctors to bring Kieran away. Terrence sat on a chair in the corridor with his hands crossed. Will stood to the side with his hands crossed. Will didn¡¯t know what to do. After all, Kieran had been so rude to Terrence just now. As long as Terrence wanted, the hospital would be immediately demolished. However, Terrence sat calmly with his legs crossed, like a quiet lion crouching patiently. ¡°What¡¯s going on with Kieran?¡± Terrence narrowed his eyes dangerously. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t he be going abroad? Why is he still here?¡± Suddenly questioned by Terrence, Will instantly broke out in a cold sweat. ¡°Mr. Ramsey¡­¡± Will muttered, ¡°The opportunity to study abroad was voluntarily given up by Dr. Powell.¡± ¡°He gave up?¡± Terrence pondered over the first half of the sentence and suddenly asked, ¡°Why?¡± The more he asked, the more Will felt nervous. ¡°Rumors said that Dr. Powell did it for a girl, but Dr. Powell himself did not exin the reason.¡± For a girl. Just hearing these three words, Terrence turned gloomy, and a sharp cold light shed in his eyes. Will was not clear about the rivalry between Kieran and Terrence. Terrence did not continue to ask, and the atmosphere instantly became a little awkward. Will pursed his lips and did not dare to say anything more. He silently prayed in his heart for a long time, and the door of the emergency room finally opened. Terrence immediately marched to the door and leaned forward to check on Alexa. As the doctor filled in the medical records, he reported the situation. ¡°Fortunately, she did not take much medicine. We cleaned her stomach. During this period of time, let her rest well and eat nutritious food.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Terrence was finally relieved. ¡°Thank you, doctor.¡± After the doctor gave the instructions, Terrence and the nurse sent Alexa to the ward. Terrence and Kieran made quite a fuss this time. Terrence waspletely panicked and did not think about anything else at all. Therefore, most people in the hospital were discussing what happened among him, Alexa, and Kieran. Terrence sat by Alexa¡¯s bedside and stared at her pale with deep eyes. There were two dark circles under her eyes. It seemed that she hadn¡¯t slept for a long time. Terrence raised his hand in a daze and probed her delicate skin. But before he could touch Alexa, the door was knocked twice symbolically. Then, someone pushed the door open and came in rudely. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Come out. I have something to talk to you about,¡± Kieran said coldly. Terrence was a little annoyed and wanted to tear Kieran apart immediately. He got up with a cold face and looked at Kieran, approaching the door. The two walked out of the door one after the other. Kieran got straight to the point and said. ¡°If you divorce her, I will give you any amount of money you want.¡± After hearing what Kieran said clearly, Terrence could not help but sneer. ¡°Kieran, you use money to lure me?¡± This was the funniest joke in the world. ¡°Is there something wrong with your brain?¡± Terrence sneered without any scruples, ¡°Who do you think you are to challenge me?¡± Kieran did not even lift his eyelids. He only said unhurriedly. ¡°Brenton ising back.¡± This sentence was like a knife that stabbed Terrence¡¯s heart without warning. ¡°So what? Does it have anything to do with me?¡± Terrence¡¯s tone was unbelievably cold, but only he knew that his heart was in a mess. ¡°I thought she would tell you these things.¡± Kieran casually said this sentence with strong irony. Alexa would rather tell Kieran, the ¡°outsider¡±, than Terrence, her ¡°husband¡±. ¡°Alexa said yes to Brenton¡¯s confession. And the Darrell family is rich enough.¡± What he said was a p in the face to Terrence. It meant that when Brenton returned, Alexa would choose her true love. And Terrence? Who cared about Terrence? Kieran¡¯s tone was full of sarcasm. Terrence¡¯s face was extremely gloomy. But what could Kieran get from this situation? ¡°So what?.¡± Terrence retorted, ¡°Even if I can¡¯t keep her, she won¡¯t be yours.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Kieran chuckled and left a confident sentence before he left. ¡°I was the one who performed the operation when Mrs. Darrell was on the verge of death from a heart attack.¡± The Darrell family would never forget this favor. As for Terrence, yes, Alexa was his wife for three years. But he was still nothing. Chapter 128 Chapter 128 Chapter 128 I Said Leave Me Alone Terrence¡¯s expression was frightening, but Kieran did not mind and leisurely added. ¡°Cherish thisst moment. As long as you officially divorce, she will soon be Mrs. Powell.¡± Every word Kieran said stabbed into Terrence¡¯s heart like a knife. After personally witnessing the effect he wanted, Kieran left in a calm and unhurried manner. Terrence stood in the corridor with his fists clenched for a long time, but he couldn¡¯t calm down for a long time. Since Kieran dared to show off like this, it meant that he had full confidence in his heart. Terrence gritted his teeth gloomily, and a terrible idea arose in his heart. As long as Terrence never let go, who dared to take Alexa away? Five minutester, Terrence entered the ward again. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. The effects of the medicine had passed and Alexa gradually woke up. Seeing Terrence silently walking toward her, Alexa was shocked. Terrence, who was originally in a bad mood, saw her face like this and the anger in his heart. instantly surged up. ¡°Why am I here?¡± Alexa asked with a trembling voice, ¡°You are¡­¡± Terrence pulled the chair over and sat down. He folded his long legs and stared at her sick face with deep eyes. ¡°Have you lost your memory? You don¡¯t even know me?¡± Terrence spoke with anger, ¡°Who gave you the courage tomit suicide? Do you think I will let you go if you pretend to be pitiful?¡± Alexa silently patted her head, apparently still not recovered from her ck state. Terrence inexplicably roared at her, and Alexa was even more confused. ¡°I am talking to you. Why are you so distracted?¡± Alexa stared at him for a while with a frown, and her eyes finally became clear. ¡°You are Terrence. I know,¡± she said weakly. Just now, she really forgot his name and her brain was empty, unable to remember many things. ¡°You just know me?¡± Terrence was so angry that heughed instead. ¡°Alexa, are you really stupid, or are you not clear-headed? Or is it that the first person you saw after waking up was not Kieran, and you are very unhappy about it?¡± ¡°Can you stop talking?¡± Alexa uttered in difort, and her head began to ache again. Terrence¡¯s face turned cold, and his eyes became as cold as ice. ¡°Are you getting impatient?¡± He got up and looked down at her from high above. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to listen to me, don¡¯t be so stupid in the future.¡± Alexa looked ahead with a pale face and was lost in thought. Terrence didn¡¯t know whether she had heard it or not, but he didn¡¯t say anything more. Alexa seemed to be in a daze enough, and she forced herself to sit up, nning to get out of bed from the other side of the bed. However, she overestimated her physical condition. Just as her left foot touched the floor, she suddenly lost her bnce and fell down in a very sorry state. ¡°Alexa!¡± Terrence shouted in a deep voice. His tone was tinged with worry that even he did not notice. He quickly went around to help her, but Alexa frowned coldly and avoided his hand with a pale face. ¡°Leave me alone. I can stand up by myself.¡± Terrence was stunned. Apparently, he did not expect Alexa to say this. ¡°I¡¯m your husband.¡± Terrence asked with a tense face, ¡°Am 1 an outsider in your heart?¡± Alexa stood up on the edge of the bed and gasped with difficulty. ¡°You will be soon.¡± Alexa did not know if she should feel happy that Terrence had found out that she had fainted, but if he had not found out, she would have died without pain. Alexa endured the pain all over her body and walked towards the bathroom without looking back. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Terrence asked coldly. ¡°Change my clothes and leave the hospital,¡± Alexa exined without emotion. ¡°Leave the hospital?¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes shed. He had no idea what she was going to do. ¡°In your current condition, which doctor dares to let you leave the hospital?¡± Alexa heard Terrence¡¯s voice and her ears buzzed. ¡°I know.¡± She frowned slightly. ¡°It¡¯s none of your business.¡± Terrence looked at the stubborn but thin figure and his eyebrows began to ache. None of his business? It seemed that Alexa had already regarded him as an outsider. At this time, in the bathroom, Alexa was lying limp in front of the washstand, trying to suppress her voice and vomiting blood in the sink. She had clearly eaten two pills from that bottle of sleeping pills, but in the end, she fainted because of theck of blood in her brain. When the pain in her stomachpletely disappeared, Alexa began to wash the blood calmly. She changed her clothes and pushed open the door to go out, not expecting Terrence to be standing in front of the door. He took off his coat and threw it to the side, then raised his hand to untie his bow tie. Alexa froze for a while. Terrence took the opportunity to take her onto the bed. ¡°It¡¯s useless for you to go down. No one dares to let you go.¡± Terrence said fiercely, ¡°Lie down.¡± ¡°I¡­¡± ¡°You think you are tough?¡± Terrence whispered, ¡°Why are you running around when you¡¯re not feeling well? If something happens again, who can save you?¡± ¡°I told you to¡­¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Terrence forcefully cut off her words and directly carried her to the bed. ¡°I will stay here.¡± He sat on a chair at the side. ¡°Try running again?¡± Terrence was so fierce that he looked like he was going to eat someone. Alexa looked at him innocently and did not understand the situation at all. Alexa had already said that it had nothing to do with him, so why did he still care about her? Alexa silently pulled the quilt over andy down with her back facing him. But before she fell asleep, she heard some noise behind her, and soon, she smelt the food. Terrence carefully scooped a bowl of soup for her and ced it on the table. Seeing Alexa move slightly, he brought the bowl of soup in front of her. ¡°Get up and drink it,¡± Terrence said coldly. Alexa slightly moved and suddenly had no appetite. She maintained the posture of lying on the bed and weakly said. ¡°No, thank you.¡± ¡°You have two choices.¡± Terrence said seriously, ¡°Either you drink it yourself or I feed you.¡± Alexa was lost for words. Alexa was unable to imagine the terrifying scene when he fed her the soup, so she could only sit up reluctantly. However, Terrence sat directly beside her bed and scooped a spoonful of warm soup into Alexa¡¯s mouth. ¡°It¡¯s toote. You don¡¯t have a chance to choose.¡± He said briskly, ¡°I¡¯ll feed you.¡± Alexa mustered up her courage and took a small sip. Terrence¡¯s gaze became hotter and hotter, firmly fixed on her like glue. ¡°Alexa, are you hiding something from me?¡± ¡°What?¡± Alexa was clearly a little flustered. Terrence got another spoonful of soup and said slowly. ¡°Are youing to Kieran just to treat your illness?¡± Chapter 129 Chapter 129 Chapter 129 Call Your Lover Whether it was true or not, Alexa could not answer him. When Alexa was nervous, she would subconsciously purse her lips. Terrence was well aware of it. But now he was very patient and looked at her. He must get an answer. ¡°I¡­¡± Alexa muttered. At this time, someone suddenly knocked on the door. ¡°Oh, a doctor?¡± Alexa could not wait to change the topic. ¡°Pleasee in.¡± When the words fell, a beautiful girl impatiently walked in. ¡°Ms. Powell?¡± ¡°Alexa!¡± ra said cheerfully and waved at the servants behind her. Then, the servants stepped forward one by one and ced the tes they had brought on the table. ra smiled as she stepped forward. As if she had just seen Terrence, ra greeted him in a neutral tone. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, you are here too. What a coincidence.¡± ¡°I¡¯m here to take care of my wife. That¡¯s natural.¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes were gloomy and he stared at ra coldly. ¡°Ms. Powell, why are you here?¡± He always brought people pressure. Even Alexa didn¡¯t dare to say anything when she felt the coldness on Terrence. However, the smile on ra¡¯s face did not fade. She even boldly met Terrence¡¯s gaze and looked at him. ¡°I am here to visit Alexa.¡± After saying that, ra hurriedly removed the cover of the tes and disyed eight sumptuous dishes. ¡°Alexa, this is the nutritious meal my family¡¯s chef made after I asked my brother for advice. Please try it.¡± This familiar and irritating plot yed out again, and Terrence¡¯s face instantly darkened to the extreme. The two siblings of the Powell family were really scheming. However, ra did not care about Terrence¡¯s opinion at all. She personally scooped a spoonful of congee and sent it to Alexa. ¡°Alexa, have a try. Since ra was so enthusiastic, Alexa couldn¡¯t refuse. She smiled gently and held ra¡¯s hand to taste the congee. ra immediately scooped another spoonful and suddenly changed the topic. ¡°Actually, my brother is the best at making congee. Next time, I will let him make it for you.¡± ¡°Bang!¡± Terrence mmed the bowl in his hand heavily on the table and took out a handkerchief to wipe the hand that had just taken the spoon. Alexa carefully looked at him from the side, and Terrence¡¯s cold face startled her. ra followed Alexa¡¯s gaze and immediately said innocently. ¡°Did I say something wrong? Mr. Ramsey, don¡¯t misunderstand me.¡± Terrence narrowed his eyes maliciously and said without any trace of politeness. ¡°My wife does not need outsiders to care about her. Get out!¡± ra gently curved her lips and calmly stood up, not showing any embarrassment. ¡°Alexa, since Mr. Ramsey does not wee me, then I will leave first. We will talk another day when youe to the Powell Group.¡± Alexa squeezed out an apologetic smile. ra nodded slightly and left without looking back. After ra left the ward, Alexa immediately picked up her phone, intending to exin what had just happened to ra. But Terrence, who had been silent all the time, suddenly grabbed her phone and aggressively pressed down. Alexa was forced to the corner of the bed by him, motionless and restrained under his body. ¡°What do you want to do?¡± Terrence asked warily and irritably, ¡°Call your lover and ask him to save you?¡± ¡°No¡­¡± ¡°No?¡± Terrence interrupted her words with iparable ridicule and sneered, ¡°How do you prove it?¡±Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. Alexa was anxious to exin, but at the thought that Terrence just wanted to embarrass her, Alexa immediately forced herself to calm down. ¡°Why should I ask you to believe me?¡± Alexa mustered up her courage and asked, ¡°What obligation do I have to exin to you? Have you exined to me about you and Brynlee?¡± Brynlee was the sensitive spot in Terrence¡¯s heart, and Alexa was very clear about this. That was why she had used Brynlee as an excuse, and this method had always worked. As soon as she finished speaking, Terrence¡¯s deep pupils shrank sharply, and his thin lips pursed. into a straight line. ¡°What did you say?¡± His tone was extremely cold. ¡°What did you say just now? Say it again.¡± When Terrence turned angry, he would always do some crazy things. Alexa did not want to experience it again. ¡°Go away.¡± She reached out and pushed Terrence¡¯s shoulder. ¡°If you don¡¯t go, I will call for help!¡± Looking at her silly and angry appearance, Terrence was somehow relieved a little. He chuckled yfully and said. ¡°Do it.¡± Alexa looked at him with misty eyes and her ears were red with anger. Seeing that she did not respond, Terrence raised his finger and rubbed her face. ¡°Hurry up and call for help. Do you need me to help you?¡± Alexa felt like her entire body was on fire, and her body temperature instantly rose. Taking advantage of the moment Terrence let go, she suddenly leaned toward the back of his hand. However, Terrence already had experience. Before Alexa bit him, he quickly raised his hand. ¡°Biting me again?¡± Terrence looked up and chuckled. ¡°It¡¯s fine. If you want to bite me, call me darling.¡± Alexa suddenly became absent-minded. Terrence suddenly propped his strong arms on both sides of her ears and leaned over to bite Alexa¡¯s delicate lips. This aggressive kiss came too suddenly. Alexa was unprepared and got goosebumps all over. ¡°Oh¡­ No¡­¡± Alexa tried her best to make a sound, and her lungs began tock oxygen. She beat Terrence¡¯s chest with all her might, but she did not expect that he would grab her hands and press them on top of her head. Alexa waspletely unable to struggle, and her eyes were hot. Tears came out without a struggle. Terrence bit her lips like he was crazy andpletely lost his mind. To Terrence, Alexa was like poison that would lure him when he got close. After a long time, Terrence reluctantly let go of her. Alexa did not even care about him. She immediately got out of bed and ran to the bathroom. Terrence was very frustrated. Did Alexa hate him so much? At this time, Alexa was standing in front of the washstand, trembling as she poured water on her face. Just now, she suddenly felt a strong smell of blood. She calmed down and checked, only to find that it was her mouth that had been worn out. Alexa tidied herself up and went out. Terrence was standing on the side wearing a coat. He, who had just been a hooligan to the extreme, had now returned to his refined appearance. The wound on Alexa¡¯s mouth was still faintly painful. She cursed in her heart. What a scumbag! Terrence looked at her as if he was looking at a little frightened deer. Not only would Alexa be vicious, but she would also even bite people. ¡°I have something to do in the office. I¡¯ll go there.¡± Terrence exined, ¡°Do you need a servant to take care of you?¡± ¡°No need.¡± ¡°I wille over at night.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Alexa was as cold as an iceberg and was obviously still angry with him. Terrence pursed his lips and said lightly. ¡°Okay, then I won¡¯te.¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Alexa could not wait to reply. Chapter 130 Chapter 130 Chapter 130 I¡¯m Not Living to Please You Alexa indeed looked very happy. Terrence was speechless and walked away with a gloomy face. Alexa obedientlyy back on the bed and slept. In the afternoon, she sneaked out of the hospital for a stroll. Today in New York, the wind was warm. Alexa called for a taxi and went to the market in the east of the city. The ce was still the same. It was crowded and lively. As New Year wasing, many shops also prepared some New Year goods, which exhibited a trace of warmth. Alexa was in a good mood, bought a piece of cake, and ate while walking. Terrence made a call while Alexa ignored him and skillfully cklisted him. Alexa finally stopped in front of a flower shop and picked a bunch of white roses. A tall figure suddenly appeared behind her. Without noticing him, Alexa was hit by him unexpectedly. She lost her bnce and almost fell to the ground. Alexa stood still and red in that direction. Wait, this person¡­ thought Alexa. ¡°Please wait a moment!¡± Alexa chased after the man in a panic. That person seemed to have sensed her purpose and suddenly quickened his pace to enter the crowd. ¡°Wait!¡± Alexa felt that something dead in her heart was slowly waking up. Her heart tightened as if she was walking on thin ice with anxiety. She squeezed into the crowd regardless of her image, hoping to get closer to that person! Finally, Alexa reached out and put her hand on his shoulder from behind. ¡°Sir, have we met before?¡± After staying together for so many years, how could Alexa not recognize him¡­ This was her brother! She thought about such a tall and mighty figure over and over again in her dreams every night. She couldn¡¯t mistake him. Alexa choked out, but she tried her best to remain calm. Since they hadn¡¯t met each other for such a long time, she wanted to behave well in front of her brother. ¡°We have met before, right?¡± Alexa confirmed it again and asked carefully. ¡°Where are you After Alexa asked three times, the man¡¯s body seemed to move a little imperceptibly. He lowered the brim of his hat and looked back slightly. ¡°Miss, have we met before?¡± Alexa¡¯s breathing stopped when she saw him at first nce. It seemed that what she hoped came to nothing. from?¡± The left side of the man¡¯s face was covered with a scar that went all the way to his ears. He looked so ferocious with that scar. Alexa quickly withdrew her hand as if she was suddenly electrocuted. This was not her brother. The scar on the man¡¯s face and his coldness did not look like her brother at all. ¡°Sorry, I seem to have recognized the wrong person,¡± Alexa said resentfully. The man nodded slightly and nced at the shoulder that she had just touched. He turned around and disappeared into the sea of people again without words. After the man walked far away, he lifted his hat with his slender fingers, revealing his amber tender, and deep eyes. His eyes were as soft as water, which seemed ipatible with the hideous scar on the side of his face. I didn¡¯t expect to see you again, on the old street where we had walked countless times. The little girl from back then has grown into a maturedy. In these years, how are you doing in the Ramsey family? Alexa, long time no see, thought that man. A meaningful look shed through the man¡¯s eyes as he walked into an ordinary room. The moment he pushed the door open, his expression changed instantly. He swept his cold and ruthless gaze across everyone in the room. ¡°Mr. Duran, we have dealt with them.¡± The man nodded steadily and said, ¡°The n has changed. We will return at eight o¡¯clock tonight.¡± Meanwhile, Alexa was absent-mindedly walking back with flowers. The emotions that had been suppressed for so long exploded. She calmly looked up at the distant sun, feeling bone-chilling. How could it be? How could it not be her brother? They looked so much alike. Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. She walked to the end of the street in a trance and suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar Maybach. Alexa was in a bad mood. The moment she saw Terrence, she avoided him. However, Alexa took a few steps to the side and Terrence actually drove over and even honked the horn very harshly behind her. Alexa¡¯s hair stood on end as she looked back and angrily walked to the car window. Terrence rolled down the window and stared at her with deep eyes. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Alexa was so angry. ¡°There are so many people on the street. What if¡­¡± ¡°What if so many people see your stupidity?¡± Terrence said coldly. ¡°How long do you want me to wait? I¡¯m not your driver.¡± Alexa couldn¡¯t do anything to him and hid in the passenger seat like a thief. Terrence looked at the withered white roses in her hand and gritted his teeth in anger. ¡°You deliberately escaped from the hospital and went to buy this damn bunch of flowers after hanging around half of New York.¡± Hearing this, Alexa looked down at the rose in her hand. She did not like being scolded by him at all. ¡°I just want to. What does it have to do with you?¡± she asked coldly. ¡°Are you done? If you are done, I will get out of the car.¡± Terrence darkened his face and suddenly locked the car. Alexa remained calm in the face of danger. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, sorry to trouble you by sending me to the bus station. I¡­ Ah!¡± Alexa suddenly let out a frightening scream. Before she could finish her words, Terrence suddenly put the seat down. Before Alexa could realize what had happened, Terrence suddenly leaned forward and kissed her with a slight ruthlessness. Alexa had specially put on light makeup when she went out today. The lipstick she used had a sweet smell of peach, making Terrence reluctant to let go of her. His kiss was always warm and sudden. Alexa was pressed under his body without any precautions, and she even had no time to push him. Terrence urately grasped her patience limit. Before Alexa became extremely furious, he finally let her go reluctantly. Alexa fell limp on his body, and the remaining lipstick on her lips rubbed against his shirt, leaving an extremely ambiguous mark. Before her breathing could calm down, Terrence suddenly buried his head in Alexa¡¯s neck and slowly rubbed against her skin. ¡°I¡¯ve taught you so many times, but you still don¡¯t know it. Alexa, why are you so stupid?¡± He was like a strict and true teacher. What? Alexa didn¡¯t know how to describe this bastard. He was the dignified president of Hudson Group and pretended to be gentle in public. In private, he was no different from a rogue! ¡°Why should I learn it?¡± Alexa wiped her lips fiercely. ¡°I¡¯m not living to please you!¡± Chapter 131 Chapter 131 Chapter 131 Everyone Has a Few Lovers Terrence sneered. ¡°No one needs a person like you to please them,¡± said Terrence. ¡°You¡­ Shut up!¡± After being insulted by him for no reason, Alexa blushed and reached out to pull the lock. However, Terrence had already locked the car. No matter how hard she tried, she could not open it. ¡°You better think about it before you open the door. Do you want to take a ride, or topensate me?¡± Terrence¡¯s cold voice came faintly. Alexa immediately let go of her hand in embarrassment. She suddenly regretted it now. Why did she believe that Terrence was good and choose to get in his car? At this time, the ¡°beast in human form¡± silently tidied up his clothes and returned to his gentle appearance. Alexa leaned against the seat in grief, the clothes all over her body were messy, which was a sharp contrast to him. Thinking of the tender and sweet scene, Terrence pursed his lips, feeling a little unsatisfied. ¡°Go eat,¡± he said briskly. ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa hadn¡¯t recovered from the shock. ¡°Then I¡¯ll get out of the car now.¡± When she finished speaking, Terrence turned his head and red at her darkly. Alexa felt baffled, straightened her back, and said righteously. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why are you ring at me? It¡¯s funny. Do you have to take your wife with you on a date with your lover?¡± Alexained for a while, and Terrence was so speechless. He did not understand what this stupid woman was thinking all day long. ¡°When did I mention Brynlee?¡± Terrence frowned and asked. ¡°Why are you so excited?¡± They were so straightforward that they often quarreled with each other and ended up in discord. Then Alexa bit her lips and did not know what to say. She was slow, but she was not that stupid. What did Terrence think of her? Now he even lied to her in such a careless manner? ¡°Got it,¡± Alexa smiled and waved her hand. ¡°Isn¡¯t it just a lover? Everyone has¡­¡± Did she seem to have said something strange? Alexa immediately stopped talking, but Terrence heard what she said clearly. ¡°Everyone has a few lovers,¡± Terrence sneered. ¡°Right? Mrs. Ramsey.¡± ¡°No,¡± Alexa sat upright and said guiltily. ¡°I just identally said something wrong.¡± ¡°You know clearly whether you said it wrong or you slipped up.¡± Now it seemed that Terrence was not willing to believe her at all. Alexa shrugged nonchntly. ¡°Believe it or not, I can¡¯t do anything about it,¡± she said. Terrence was a little angry, but he had no choice but to step on the elerator and drive away gloomily. Not long after, he stopped the car at the entrance of a high-end restaurant. Seeing that Alexa was still sitting in the car, Terrence gritted his teeth, pushed the door open, got out of the car, and strode to the passenger door. Alexa heard a noise, and then Terrence¡¯s handsome face appeared next to her. ¡°Please get out of the car, Mrs. Ramsey.¡± Terrence teased her, smirking imperceptibly. Alexa was so nervous that she didn¡¯t want to pay attention to him as if she was nailed to the seat. ¡°Terrence, I don¡¯t want to go,¡± Alexa said earnestly. ¡°Can I go home now?¡± ¡°Why?¡± Terrence ordered lightly. ¡°You¡¯ll go back after eating.¡± ¡°No need. I¡¯m not hungry.¡± Hearing this, Terrence raised his eyes slightly and asked in confusion. ¡°Is there someone who wants to eat you or what?¡± ¡°You won¡¯t ask me to pay, will you? I can¡¯t afford a meal in a ce like this,¡± Alexa asked warily. The smile in Terrence¡¯s eyes suddenly turned cold. He gritted his teeth and burst intoughter. ¡°Alexa, is there something wrong with you?¡± Terrence could not bear it any longer and knocked her on the forehead with his finger. ¡°Why do you think I care about your money? What do you think of Hudson Group?¡± ¡°Anyway, it is always good to be careful.¡± Seeing that she said such nonsense with absolute honesty, Terrence could not understand why Alexa had such a strange idea! Terrence tilted his head with a bright smile on his handsome face. ¡°You should be sitting in the restaurant with me now. As of now, you have wasted three minutes.¡± Alexa gnashed her teeth and clenched the flowers in her hand. In the end, she got out of the car and went in with him. She had not been to such a high-end ce for a long time. All the furnishings here were expensive and morous, making Alexa feel guilty. Terrence walked in front of her and suddenly reached out to grab her shoulder. Alexa was shocked. Like a bunny caught by a beast, she was held in his arms and walked forward stiffly. This restaurant specialized in French cuisine. From the chef to the waiter, they were all French. Alexa sat in the chair and pretended to be reading the menu. Without paying much attention to the name of the French dishes, Alexa only noticed those amazing numbers. This meal would cost at least several thousand dors. Would there be a suckering here to have a meal? Just as this thought emerged in her mind, she suddenly heard a maic and low voice from the opposite side. Terrence ordered the dishes in French with ease and then naturally looked at her. ¡°Have you decided? What do you want to eat?¡± Alexa was still a patient row, so she had no appetite at all in the face of these delicious delicacies. She put down the menu and carefully leaned over to Terrence. ¡°I¡¯d like to have some pasta and barbecue,¡± Alexa said with disappointment. ¡°But I can¡¯t find them on the menu, so I¡­¡± ¡°You¡¯ll have them,¡± Terrence said and tranted her words to the waiter in detail. Alexa saw the young French man chuckle, but in the end, he did not refuse! It didn¡¯t take long for the chef to bring up the pasta and barbecue she wanted with exquisite enamel tableware. Alexa was ttered and even felt guilty at first sight. She was a blockhead! Howe she ate this in such a high-end restaurant? How expensive! Thinking of this, Alexa suddenly asked in a trembling voice. ¡°How much will that cost?¡± While nobly cutting the steak, Terrence said in a casual tone. ¡°What do you think?¡± What? Alexa turned pale and put down her fork as if it was hot. Terrence saw her reaction and felt a little ufortable for some reason. Alexa always ignored him when he interacted with her. However, once Terrence mentioned money, she would immediately show extraordinary curiosity and execution. She was a heartless fool! Previous ChapterExclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. Next Chapter Chapter 132 Chapter 132 Chapter 132 It¡¯s Strange to Hold Withered Flowers. Being absent-minded for a while, Terrence held the knife more tightly. With a ng, the fork cut into the te, making a nging sound. He stared at Alexa without emotion. ¡°Just eat,¡± said Terrence. The atmosphere was always depressing when they had dinner together. Without saying anything, they just focused on eating. Alexa wanted to eat spaghetti and barbecue just now, but after two shallow bites, she stopped. Terrence ate the food on the te in a gentle manner and then silently brought the leftovers in front of Alexa over. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Alexa said in surprise. ¡°Eat.¡± While speaking, Terrence had already taken a bite of spaghetti. Alexa liked spicy food. And Terrence was used to light food, so he naturally would not be used to her taste. After tasting a mouthful, Terrence frowned slightly and drank half a cup of water. But even so, he still did not say much. Alexa remembered his diet preferences, so she hurriedly said. ¡°If you don¡¯t like it, don¡¯t eat it. You can¡¯t eat spicy food.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine if it happens once in a while,¡± Terrence exined calmly. ¡°Besides, if the food is not finished, it is disrespectful to the chef. Be careful that he cklists you and never lets youe again.¡± ¡°If he wants to cklist me, just do it. Anyway, I won¡¯te to this kind of ce for the second time in my life.¡± Alexa joked. Terrence didn¡¯tment, but there was a slight emotional fluctuation in his eyes. Has Alexa beenpletely used to this kind of life? Does she feel that she would never be able to return to how she was before? Terrence silently guessed in his heart and finally swallowed these words together with the hot and spicy food. Alexa lowered her head and yed with her fingers in boredom. The waiter suddenly returned and offered her arge bouquet of white roses. Alexa was dumbfounded. She did not dare to reach out to receive it immediately but instead looked at Terrence in surprise. He wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin and slowly nodded at Alexa. Alexa took it excitedly and nervously, feeling that the emotions hidden in her heart were about to explode at this moment. How could Terrence suddenly give her flowers? These were her favorite white roses. ¡°Thank you,¡± Alexa said politely as if she was holding a handful of moonlight. ¡°It¡¯s strange to hold such a bunch of withered flowers,¡± Terrence exined in a deep voice. ¡°It makes me ufortable.¡± Without paying attention to what Terrence said, Alexa was now happy. ¡°Terrence, you are so good,¡± Alexa repeated in disbelief. ¡°You gave me flowers. These roses are so beautiful. It¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve received flowers from you.¡± This was the first time Terrence had seen Alexa so happy. Is it so easy for her to be satisfied? She bes so joyed with just a bunch of flowers, thought Terrence. Terrence calmly looked up and took the withered flowers from the side. However, Terrence did not throw them away. Instead, he quietly put them away while Alexa was not paying attention. He just took it as the first time Alexa gave him the flowers. Realizing how childish his idea was, Terrence could not help butugh. When Alexa came to her senses, she noticed the gentle smile on Terrence¡¯s face at a nce. Unlike the usual coldness, Alexa could feel that his smile came from the bottom of his heart at this moment. It turned out that he looked better when he smiled than when he didn¡¯t smile! No wonder Brynlee was so loyal to him. She must have seen Terrence smile many times. Realizing that her thoughts were gradually drifting away, Alexa immediately forced herself toe 9/1 back to her senses and left the restaurant with Terrence. After getting in the car, he suddenly changed his words. ¡°The doctor didn¡¯t allow you to go home, so we went to the hospital.¡± Well, it turns out that you should be polite before resorting to force! thought Alexa. However, still lost in the joy of receiving the bouquet, Alexa had to agree. She did not have a good impression of the hospital. Every time she was in the hospital, she felt that she was not far from death. The more Alexa thought about it, the more silent she became. Then she immediately shifted her attention. ¡°How is Mom? Has the doctore to a conclusion?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Terrence nodded as his expression became a lot more serious. ¡°The tumor is benign and not serious. However, she is already old, so we can¡¯t take it lightly.¡± ¡°It¡¯s good that there is no serious problem. What are you going to do next?¡± ¡°Dad and Mom have already told me that in two weeks, after Dad¡¯s 60th birthday, they will go abroad for treatment and travel around the country.¡± Terrence¡¯s expression eased a little. ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Alexa smiled from the bottom of her heart. ¡°They can go out to rx.¡± ¡°You want to go abroad too?¡± ¡°Huh? I didn¡¯t say it.¡± Just as Alexa finished speaking, Maeve called. She hurriedly answered the call, but identally touched the speaker. ¡°Alexa, are you free recently? I have an appointment with Carissa. Let¡¯s y around!¡± Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. Maeve¡¯s voice was very exciting as if she had found something amazing in the world. Afraid that Maeve would say something wrong, Alexa immediately turned off the speaker. ¡°Besides Carissa, there are many other friends. Anyway, I have a few designer friends, so I want to introduce them to you.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Alexa lowered her voice. ¡°I might not be free recently. I¡­¡± ¡°Ms. Duran! Let me tell you first. I tried a lot to get this opportunity for you. If you don¡¯te, there won¡¯t be next time,¡± said Maeve. ¡°Maeve, thank you,¡± Alexa said gratefully. ¡°I will not let you down.¡± ¡°Fine, let¡¯s do it this way then.¡± Maeve sweetly pinched her throat. ¡°Dear, we will wait for you.¡± It was difficult for Terrence to not hear Maeve¡¯s particrly strange ¡°Dear¡±. However, he did not speak. Instead, he remained silent and waited for Alexa to speak. However, Alexa acted as if nothing had happened and had no intention of speaking to him at all. Terrence tightened his hand on the steering wheel and gritted his teeth. ¡°Who called you? What did you say?¡± he asked tentatively. Alexa didn¡¯t like Terrence¡¯s aggressive posture. She fiddled with the petals. ¡°No one. Just a friend,¡± said Alexa softly. ¡°Friend?¡± Terrence slowly asked. ¡°Well, what did you say?¡± ¡°It was to ask me out to y. It should be because she recently fell in love.¡± Alexa guessed in an orderly manner. ¡°They are all in pairs. Do you n to go alone?¡± Chapter 133 Chapter 133 Chapter 133 I Don¡¯t Intend to Invite You Alexa thought for a moment and did not feel that there was anything wrong with it. Then she said, ¡°Yes. I don¡¯t have a boyfriend.¡± Terrence did not want to talk to her. If he talked to this idiot again, he would definitely be pissed off. Alexa sounded like she felt pity for not having a boyfriend. She was Terrence¡¯s wife now. How could she have a boyfriend? Terrence felt so angry that his face darkened. Alexa did not notice his change at all and only cared about the flowers in her hands. Terrence gritted his teeth and stepped on the brakes with anger. His Maybach suddenly stopped in front of the zebra line. Alexa finally reacted, but she just turned her head and nced at him. It seemed that Terrence was just her driver who was showing clumsy driving skills. Alexa did not even ask anything. She lowered her head a momentter. Terrence was so angry about her indifferent attitude, but he was determined to fight with all his strength to attract her attention and win this game. ¡°Of course, I won¡¯t waste time apanying you to that kind of boring party.¡± Terrence suddenly spoke with hostility. Alexa stared at him for no reason, and only after a few seconds did she realize that he was talking about Maeve¡¯s party. ¡°Huh?¡± Alexa smiled politely. ¡°I didn¡¯t intend to invite you to go.¡± Alexa thought that Terrence was a different personpared to her friends because he was the president of Hudson Group. She felt that it was inappropriate to introduce him to her friends. Terrence¡¯s face instantly turned dark. He repeated what Alexa had just said over and over again in his heart. She had never nned to invite him to go. Terrence silently showed a smile. When the green light lit up, he stepped on the elerator, and the car immediately ran away. Alexa was frightened by his driving skills and hugged the bouquet. What was wrong with him? Alexa could feel that Terrence was angry, but she did not know what he was angry about. She was trying her best to force her to not think highly of this marriage. Was there anything that Terrence was not satisfied with? The two of them did not speak until Terrence parked the car at the entrance of the house. After Alexa got out of the car, she stood beside the car and waited for Terrence. However, Terrence walked past her like an iceberg with a poker face and did not even look at her. Alexa did not feel anything. After all, she had long been used to Terrence¡¯s strange temple. She adjusted her emotions, held the bouquet, and went into the house. Terrence was standing at the door and changing his shoes. The servant, ire, respectfully took Terrence¡¯s coat and put it on the coat rack. Alexa stood outside the door and untied her shoces, but she didn¡¯t enter the house. When ire saw this, she walked over to Alexa considerately. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, let me help you bring the flowers in.¡± ¡°Oh, thank you, ire.¡± Alexa was ttered and nodded repeatedly. ¡°I¡¯ll do it myself. I don¡¯t want to trouble you.¡± Terrence noticed her reaction and nced at her secretly. Alexa held the flower in one hand and held the wall in the other to keep the bnce. She was trying. to take off her shoes. However, the boots Alexa wore today seemed to be locked on her feet, and she could not take them off no matter how hard she tried. In a daze, her hand that was holding the wall instantly slid.. Terrence quietly moved a step, and Alexa¡¯s hand pressed down on his shoulder. Feeling the unfamiliar touch, Alexa subconsciously wanted to let go. Terrence did not give her the chance. He directly picked her up and put her on the sofa. Alexa was stunned and apparently had note to her senses yet. Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. Terrencended on one knee in front of her and held her feet without any disdain. ¡°I can¡­¡± Before Alexa finished speaking, Terrence frowned. He said, ¡°Is it so hard to take off your shoes?¡± At this point, Alexa was still stubborn. ¡°I can do it myself.¡± Terrence ignored her. Although he had said some mean words, his movements were extremely gentle when he took off her shoes. When ire saw this, she smiled subtly and immediately went to the kitchen to serve the dishes. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Mrs. Ramsey, dinner is ready.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Terrence nodded, got up, picked up the cotton slippers, and threw them to Alexa. ¡°Oh¡­¡± Although today¡¯s dinner was light, it was very sumptuous. There were steaming shrimp congee, steak, and three fried dishes. Terrence silently served her a bowl of congee. Alexa casually took a piece of corn and hurried upstairs. He looked at Alexa with a face full of resentment. He suddenly pulled a long face. Did Alexa not care about him at all? Terrence looked at her and then at the food. Finally, he sat down at the table, upset. When ire saw this, she was curious. She asked, ¡°Mr. Ramsey, shall I send the dinner to Mrs. Ramsey¡¯s room?¡± Terrence said meaningfully, ¡°Don¡¯t worry about her. She doesn¡¯t care about it.¡± But even though he said so, in a few minutes, Terrence quietly went upstairs. The door was tightly closed, but it was not locked. Terrence knocked twice. Then he said in a deep voice, ¡°Alexa.¡± What was she up to this time? ¡°What is it?¡± Terrence did not answer her as he opened the door and entered. Seeing her sitting on the floor with arge suitcase on the side, Terrence frowned. ¡°I am packing up. Maeve wille to pick me up.¡± ¡°When?¡± Terrence asked coldly. ¡°The day after tomorrow.¡± Terrence leaned against the wall with his arms crossed and stared at her with his dark eyes. Terrence asked with concern, ¡°Are you looking forward to it? How long are you going? You have to come back at night, right?¡± ¡°Of course not. If Ie back at night, why should I pack my things?¡± Alexa smiled. When Terrence heard that she would not return home at night, Terrence suddenly changed his expression. He refused coldly. ¡°No!¡± ¡°Ah? Why?¡± Alexa asked strangely. ¡°I¡¯m not a child anymore. I won¡¯t get lost.¡± ¡°Who can guarantee that? Even if you don¡¯t get lost, it¡¯s not impossible for someone to kidnap and kill you.¡± Alexa was speechless. Why did Terrence suddenly be like an old man who chattered on and on? ¡°Why do you think the outside world is so bad? Who is so bold in reality?¡± ¡°The old man¡± snorted disdainfully and looked at her as if he was looking at a child who was rebellious. ¡°Are you an angel who came to save the world? Do you really think that the world is full of love and peace?¡± ¡°Anyway, I¡¯m just going to hang out for a long time.¡± ¡°No. There is no room for negotiation on this matter.¡± Terrence¡¯s face darkened. ¡°Either I go with. you, or youe home before nine o¡¯clock in the evening. Take your pick.¡± Chapter 134 Chapter 134 Chapter 134 Gentle and Magnanimous She hadn¡¯t seen these good friends for a long time. It wasn¡¯t easy to meet them, so of course, she had to have a good chat with them. She thought that Terrence was talking nonsense. ¡°I told them I would hang out with them for two days. I can¡¯t break my promise now.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Terrence nodded. ¡°So, I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Alexa said a little awkwardly, ¡°But you¡¯re not familiar with them.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to be too familiar with them.¡± Terrence finished his words and quietly turned around to leave. He couldn¡¯t understand why Alexa was so stubborn. He chose to stop his work and apanied her to y thousands of feet away, but she didn¡¯t seem to be happy. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! Terrence was angry, but he still let ire heat up the food and bring it to Alexa. When Alexa packed up her luggage, ire brought in the food. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, Mr. Ramsey asked me to bring you dinner.¡± ire had stayed in the Ramsey¡¯s home for more than ten years and had witnessed the love of Terrence¡¯s parents. Therefore, now that she hade to serve Terrence, she also tried her best to match Terrence and Alexa. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, Mr. Ramsey is in the study now. Do you want to talk to him?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Alexa was confused. She did not understand why ire said such strange words. What could she and Terrence talk about? They could start a quarrel in less than three sentences. However, ire did not know what happened to them. She smiled kindly. Then she said, ¡°Themunication between husband and wife is very important. The two must understand each other so that their rtionship will get better and better.¡± Alexa did not have the desire tomunicate with Terrence at all. She ate a mouthful of food in silence and suddenly thought of an important thing. ire came from the old house, so did that mean that ire had a secret rtionship with Terrence¡¯s parents? Alexa instantly changed her mind and nodded obediently. ¡°Okay, ire, I will go down and talk to himter.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± ire smiled in relief and added, ¡°I¡¯ve washed some fruits. Mrs. Ramsey, please bring it in with you when you go to the study.¡± Alexa agreed. But when she walked to the door of the study, she found that it seemed a little scary. At this moment, wasn¡¯t she just trying to please Terrence? Before she raised her hand to knock on the door, the door was suddenly opened. Terrence, who was originally walking out, was stunned. He looked at the woman in front of him. with a puzzled face. ¡°What are you doing?¡± He asked straight to the point. When Alexa saw him, her mind instantly went nk. ¡°Ie to please you¡­¡± Suddenly realizing what nonsense she was saying, Alexa was shocked. Her face immediately turned pale. She tried to exin, ¡°No, no. ire asked me to¡­¡± Terrence frowned. Without waiting for Alexa to finish speaking, he grabbed her wrist and took her into the room. The fruit in Alexa¡¯s hand almost scattered all over the ground. She barely managed to keep her bnce. Before she got angry, she suddenly found herself pressed against the door by Terrence. Terrence was tall and strong. He approached her ambiguously. Alexa waspletely surrounded by him, and she felt in danger. Terrence¡¯s cold and handsome face revealed a trace of yfulness. Alexa tried to be brave and calmly picked up a tomato. Her voice was trembling. ¡°Do you want to eat some fruit?¡± ¡°What?¡± Terrence chuckled. The next moment, Alexa became nervous. He was actually kissing her! Terrence¡¯s warm lips lingered down from her earlobe to her neck and finally. Then he finally bit the small tomato in Alexa¡¯s hand. His warmth was left on the tip of her finger as if there was a subtle electric current flowing through her whole body. Alexa felt a kind of strange feeling. Terrence skillfully held her waist and brought her into his arms. Alexa punched him on the shoulder, but she could not exert any strength. ¡°You¡­ Let go of me!¡± ¡°Not professional at all.¡± Terrence sneered and added, ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, is this called pleasing?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense. I don¡¯t want to please you.¡± ¡°You said it word by word just now. Do you want to turn against your words?¡± Alexa flushed because of his dirty words, but she did not want Terrence to take advantage of her. ¡°As long as you say a word, there are lots of girls who want to please you.¡± She then roared indignantly, ¡°Don¡¯t provoke me!¡± ¡°What if I insist?¡± Terrence replied with a single sentence. Alexa flipped over the fruit te in a panic. But Terrence did not care about it at all. He directly carried her to the desk. Theyout of the study was just like Terrence¡¯s personality, neat, strict, and meticulous. However, the current scene gave off an extremely strong impact. Alexa was pressed on the table by Terrence. Because the two of them had made too much noise, the originally neat desk was in a mess. Terrence kissed her neck like a madman. He didn¡¯t seem to kiss her. It seemed that he was biting her. ¡°Alexa, Alexa¡­¡± He whispered her name in a slightly disordered breath. He was gentle at this time. Alexa concluded that this was an illusion. Terrence was apletely different person from her. How could he call her name so gently and magnanimously? Alexa¡¯s heart began to hurt again. She tried to suppress the pain, but her face quickly turned pale. However, Terrence still had no intention of letting go of her. Alexa gritted her teeth and had to say those hurtful words. ¡°Terrence, I don¡¯t like you. Is it interesting for you to do this?¡± Sure enough, just as Alexa finished speaking, Terrence¡¯s movements stopped. The light in his eyes instantly dissipated. He got up without hesitation and tidied up his messy clothes. Alexa was still lying on the table in the same position as before. Her robe looked messy, but she didn¡¯t tidy it up immediately. Terrence looked at her and suddenly let out a mockingugh. ¡°I was just ying with you. Do you think I am really interested in you?¡± Alexa was already heartbroken, but when she heard such words, Alexa could not help but feel pain. Did Terrence feel happy when he hurt her? Her situation did not improve at all. Terrence saw that Alexa¡¯s face had turned pale, and he felt even more ufortable. In her heart, he was like a dreadful monster. Terrence said coldly, ¡°Get out. You don¡¯t need to do this in the future.¡± ¡°Got it.¡± Alexa supported herself and quietly tidied up her clothes. Terrence saw the red mark on her neck, and he suddenly had some feelings. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something. Alexa did not pay any attention to him. She silently grabbed the cor of her robe and walked out of the room in a terrible state. Chapter 135 Chapter 135 Chapter 135 Do You Miss Him? Terrence was so annoying, so annoying! Alexa kept repeating this sentence in her mind and returned to her room with a miserable face. Terrence, who was in the study, did not ask the maid for help but personally squatted down to tidy up the mess on the ground. There seemed to be a sweet smell of Alexa¡¯s lipstick in Terrence¡¯s nose. Terrence subconsciously pursed his lips and then suddenly realized how stupid his actions were. Am I thinking about Alexa? How funny is that? How can it be? Terrence immediately threw away the documents in his hand and mmed the door of the study room. Terrence rushed to the garage and drove away. Late at night, people were still having fun at Royal Noble Club. Terrence walked all the way to the VIP room on the top floor and sat down in a booth on the side, like an iceberg that had suddenly descended. Aron saw that Terrence looked as if he had eaten someone, smacked his lips, and immediately drove the random people out. The noises instantly disappeared, and the bright and luxurious booth quieted down again. Aron had several waiters bring a dozen bottles of whiskey over, personally opened a bottle for Terrence, and handed it over with iparable ttery. ¡°Terrence, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Aron circled around to the back of the seat and ced a hand on Terrence¡¯s shoulder. ¡°How do you want to y? I will arrange it for you.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t bother me,¡± Terrence said in a dangerous tone. Aron broke out in a cold sweat at Terrence¡¯s attitude. As if Aron had been burned, Aron quickly pulled his hand back. Even though Aron had been around Terrence for so many years, Aron still had not figured out Terrence¡¯s character. Terrence was cold, arrogant, fickle, and depressed¡­ Terrence was like a fog, never showing his true self to anyone. At that moment, Terrence raised his head and drank a mouthful of whisky. Terrence did not seem to be angry anymore. Aron wanted to say something, but he suddenly remembered something important. ¡°Terrence, do you know that boy of the Darrell family ising back?¡± Terrence¡¯s body instantly stiffened when he heard that. However, Aron still did not realize that something was wrong. Aron continued to say, ¡°I heard that Brenton came back to get married.¡± Terrence smiled faintly. Terrence asked, ¡°With whom?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sure. The Darrell family did not leak any information.¡± Terrence shook the whisky bottle slightly and chuckled yfully. Aron did not understand what Terrence meant. Terrence¡¯s expression suddenly turned fierce, and Terrence suddenly smashed the whisky bottle on the ground. Terrence¡¯s marriage with Alexa just happened to have a month left. Brenton just had toe back at this time, and no one knew who would be his bride. Heh, who else can it be other than Alexa? These two must have secretly colluded with each other long ago, treating me as a fool! Terrence suddenly stood up with a terrifying aura. Terrence stared straight at Aron with his cold eyes. ¡°Is Brenton really willing to let go of the person he once loved so deeply?¡± Aron said, ¡°What?¡± Terrence shifted his gaze away. And Terrence said in a self-deprecating manner, ¡°Brenton can¡¯t bear to let Alexa go.¡± Hearing that, Aron finally understood what Terrence meant. Isn¡¯t Brenton Alexa¡¯s ex-boyfriend? Terrence¡¯s aura was unbelievably cold, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged. Terrence hated Brenton. How can Alexa do this? ¡°Terrence, Alexa is not that kind of person.¡± Aron earnestly said, ¡°You guys should talk. Trust her.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it funny?¡± Terrence gnashed his teeth, said these words, and then left the room without looking back. Aron was afraid that Terrence would do something stupid, so Aron quickly found a few bodyguards to go with Terrence and apany him in the car. ¡°Terrence, go home now. Don¡¯t make Alexa worried,¡± Aron said nervously. As soon as these words came out, Terrence looked even more serious. Aron bent over and stood by the window, thinking that he should p himself right now. What kind of bullshit was I talking about tonight? ¡°Terrence, take care. I won¡¯t disturb you anymore. I¡¯ll get lost right now!¡± Terrence nced at Aron without batting an eyelid. After closing the window, Terrence rubbed the space between his eyebrows in frustration. Terrence wouldn¡¯t go back to Duckdale Vi. ¡°To the crew.¡± The next morning, Alexa received the headline immediately. It read, ¡°Mr. Ramsey visits Brynleete at night. The sweet couple spends time together.¡± After reading the title, Alexa also looked at the picture on the side. It was obviously a candid photo from the angle of the photo, but it was clear that they were holding hands, even¡­ It hurt her eyes. Terrence provoked Alexa for some unknown reasonst night, and in the blink of an eye, he ran off to get intimate with Brynlee. How incredible it was! Alexa¡¯s eyshes fluttered as she kneaded the newspaper into a ball with one hand and threw it into the trash can at the side. Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. ire, who came out with breakfast, saw that scene. ire was about to say something when the knife and fork in Alexa¡¯s hand suddenly hit the te. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey¡­¡± Alexa sat upright and deliberately put on an all-conquering posture. ¡°Don¡¯t let Mom and Dad know about this kind of dirty thing.¡± ire looked at Alexa with pity in her eyes and nodded sadly. ¡°I understand, Mrs. Ramsey.¡± Alexa suddenly had no appetite at all. Alexa forced herself to eat some fruit and Alexa suddenly felt a sharp pain in her lungs. Alexa did not even have time to move. Alexa just covered her mouth and started coughing at the table. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ire immediately panicked and said, ¡°I¡¯ll call the doctor right away.¡± ¡°No need!¡± Alexa said with difficulty, ¡°I¡¯m fine¡­ Ahem¡­¡± Terrence, who had juste in, saw this scene and immediately took a cup of warm water and handed it to Alexa. ¡°Are you okay?¡± Terrence asked with a frown. ¡°I¡­¡± Alexa gasped in pain, and she sounded like she was about to cough out blood. ¡°I caught a cold Terrence looked grim as he sized Alexa up with a probing gaze. ¡°I¡¯ll take you to the hospital.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Alexa pushed Terrence¡¯s hand away in a panic and got up in fear to avoid him. Alexa said, ¡°I¡¯ve taken medicine. I¡¯ll be fine.¡± ¡°Alexa!¡± Terrence suddenly raised his voice and stopped Alexa. ¡°What?¡± Alexa covered her mouth and did not look back. L Terrence¡¯s thin lips parted slightly as he said something with an unknown meaning. Terrence said, ¡°Brenton ising back.¡± Alexa¡¯s thin body suddenly froze, as if Terrence had gripped her throat tightly. ¡°Do you miss him?¡± Terrence did not ask that question. However, Terrence¡¯s sharp gaze had always been fixed on Alexa¡¯s back, wishing he could see through her. Alexa¡¯s hand was already soaked in blood. Threads of blood flowed out from between her fingers, and the hem of her clothes instantly blossomed with red blood. ¡°Oh.¡± Alexa replied coldly and patiently, and then she immediately ran back to her room. Alexa only got her prescription not long ago. There were now only three left. Alexa finished all the remaining pills, but it was still painful. Alexa¡¯s hand was shaking so much that she could not hold her phone. The moment the call was connected, Alexa cried out in an instant. ¡°Dr. Powell, it hurts¡­¡± Chapter 136 Chapter 136 Chapter 136 Wait for Three Years Kieran had just finished an operation. After receiving a call from Alexa, Kieran immediately changed his coat and went to the garage without caring about the exhaustion all over his body. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, I¡¯lle to pick you up right away,¡± Kieran said calmly and keptforting Alexa. ¡°Tell me what symptoms you have first.¡± Alexa had a breakdown, and at this moment, she could not care less about anything. ¡°Dr. Powell, I don¡¯t want to live anymore.¡± Hearing this, Kieran suddenly became very serious. ¡°Don¡¯t say that. Don¡¯t fall asleep.¡± ¡°Dr. Powell¡­¡± Alexa choked and panted with difficulty. ¡°Why is it so painful to be alive¡­¡± ¡°I brought the medicine. I¡¯ll be there in fifteen minutes. You¡­¡± Before Kieran could finish his words, the call was suddenly hung up. Kieran called back without thinking, but no one answered. Alexa! Kieran clenched the steering wheel and stepped on the elerator to the end. The cold wind whistled by the window, but Kieran¡¯s throbbing heart could not calm down. After working for so many years, there were many patients who came for Kieran because of Kieran¡¯s reputation. Being taken over by Kieran was equivalent to grasping thest straw. But Alexa was not like that. From the beginning to the end, her desire to live had never been truly disyed. That was also what Kieran was really worried about. Kieran was confident enough to cure Alexa, and once Alexa was cured, there would be countless honor titles for Kieran. But it turned out to be different. Kieran gradually did not understand what he was doing. Terrence was sitting on the sofa in the living room in anger and lost in thought. It was terribly quiet, and no one dared to be lost in thought. There was a sudden noise at the door, and ire ran in with a slight panic. Before ire could speak, Terrence immediately stood up silently and walked out domineeringly. At the door, a group of bodyguards surrounded a man, but the identity of the man was too special, and no one dared to act rashly. When his gaze met that person¡¯s face, Terrence narrowed his eyes maliciously, a terrifying killing intent engraved on his cold and handsome face. ¡°Kieran¡­¡± Terrence squeezed out these words one by one. Terrence said sternly, ¡°How dare you ¡°Terrence!¡± Kieranpletely lost his usual calmness and shouted anxiously, ¡°I want to see Alexa. Hurry up and let me in. Otherwise, it will be toote!¡± Terrence sneered mockingly and said, ¡°Kieran, what do you think you are? Who are you to challenge me?¡± ¡°Terrence, you are a cold-blooded bastard!¡± Kieran¡¯s heart tightened. The truth was right in his throat, but Kieran could not say it out loud. Even Terrence did not know about Alexa¡¯s serious situation. Presumably, she must still be hiding it from Terrence. Kieran gritted his teeth and angrily met Terrence¡¯s light gaze. ¡°Brenton ising back. Are you panicking too?¡± Seeing Kieran¡¯s stunned expression, Terrence seemed to be satisfied with a chuckle. ¡°I¡¯m very curious. Who will she choose, you or Brenton?¡± Just as Terrence finished speaking, Kieran suddenly looked away and looked behind him. ¡°Dr. Powell.¡± Hearing the clear but weak voice, Terrence sneered and turned around unhurriedly. Alexa¡¯s face was as pale as paper, and Terrence felt even more amused. Terrence wondered why Alexa was still putting the act while he had personally bumped into them. ¡°A small separation is better than a honeymoon.¡± Terrence spoke loudly as if he was watching a comedy, ¡°What are the two of you waiting for?¡± Every word Terrence said was like a needle that absorbed Alexa¡¯s blood. Alexa seemed to have suffered a lot in an instant, and a gentle breeze could blow her down. Kieran didn¡¯t care about Terrence¡¯s sarcasm at all. In just a few seconds, he seriously looked at Alexa several times. Kieran watched Alexa grow weak. Every day was worse than the one before. Every time was worse than the one before as if only the skeleton was left. ¡°Alexa¡­¡± Kieran murmured and suddenly struggled to break free from the bodyguards¡¯ bindings and rushed towards Alexa. Terrence noticed his movement and quickly raised his leg to block in front of Alexa, mercilessly knocking Kieran down. Kieran was a doctor, so he was not as good as Terrence, who had been strictly trained since childhood. Alexa watched as Kieran¡¯s wrist was twisted and hit the ground at a very shocking angle. Alexa was so panicked that she almost screamed out. How can Terrence attack Kieran? Kieran¡¯s hand was used to perform surgeries and save people. How could Kieran be injured? ¡°Dr. Powell!¡± Alexa let out a low cry and ran towards Kieran regardless of everything. But before Alexa could take two steps, Terrence suddenly picked her up by the waist and red at her viciously. ¡°Do you feel bad for him?¡± Terrence¡¯s voice was low and powerful, with obvious anger, and he wished he could tear Alexa up. Alexa, this stupid woman, is simply too ignorant and ungrateful. But at this moment, Alexa did not fight with Terrence hysterically. Alexa looked dull, but her eyes were getting redder and redder. Alexa bit her lips and stubbornly looked away. Alexa resisted looking at Terrence. Terrence was gloomy, and Terrence grabbed Alexa tighter and tighter. If I let her go, would Alexa leave with Kieran? Content held by N?velDrama.Org. Terrence looked tense, and a persistent voice suddenly came behind him. ¡°Alexa¡­¡± Alexa? Terrence looked cold instantly. He turned around with Alexa in his arms and stared at the reckless. man. Kieran took out a bottle from his bag and handed it to Alexa. Terrence quickly nced at it. It seemed to be sugar. Alexa and Kieran openly looked at each other in front of Terrence, and Terrence was even more annoyed. Without waiting for Kieran to say anything, Terrence went into the house with Alexa in his arms. After handing the thing to her, Kieran was relieved. Kieran took a look at the living room, but Terrence timely came out of the door and mmed the door. Alexa was sitting on the sofa like a puppet doll, holding the bottle Kieran gave her tightly. Terrence approached dangerously, looking at her from high above. ¡°Alexa, I didn¡¯t see it.¡± Terrence mocked, ¡°You got some moves. You can joggle between two men so easily.¡± Alexa¡¯s eyshes, which were as thick as a fan, moved slightly. Alexa was not saying a word. ¡°Kieran or Brenton, who do you like the most, huh?¡± Terrence suddenly leaned over and closed in, grabbing Alexa¡¯s jaw with all his strength and forcing Alexa to lift her face full of tears. ¡°Alexa, tell me!¡± ¡°I¡­¡± ¡°I guess it¡¯s Brenton, right?¡± Terrence chuckled. ¡°After all, you have beenpromising for three years. Haven¡¯t you been waiting for this day?¡± Chapter 137 Chapter 137 Chapter 137 The Ridiculous Mrs. Ramsey Under Terrence¡¯s cold and ruthless interrogation, Alexa¡¯s heart seemed to be bleeding. It had been three years. Terrence was still not willing to believe Alexa at all. Alexa endured the pain in her lower jaw and suddenly put away the sadness in her eyes. Alexa¡¯s face was bleak as she said, ¡°Well, I waited for Brenton for three years.¡± ¡°You really¡­¡± Terrence angrily increased his strength, wishing he could crush Alexa. ¡°Since you like Brenton so much, why do you have to shamelessly beg me to marry you?¡± ¡°We will soon be cut off. What right do you have to tell me what to do?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t forget whose woman you are now.¡± Terrence¡¯s tone sounded extremely dangerous. The nonsense that Alexa said had clearly exceeded Terrence¡¯s tolerance limit. ¡°Of course, I know.¡± Alexa nced at him coldly and said, ¡°I¡¯m the ridiculous Mrs. Ramsey, am I nat?¡± Ridiculous? Terrence frowned with a pale face. The tense atmosphere between the two instantly became worse, and something was dying quickly. Terrence¡¯s malicious gaze moved all the way down, and he grabbed the bottle from Alexa without warning. Sensing that his aura was gradually turning cold, Alexa immediately became alert and hid her hand behind her back. Terrence sneered helplessly and shook Alexa off with a disgusted expression. ¡°You are amazing.¡± Alexa watched Terrence disappear at the corner of the stairs. A momentter, the door of the study room was mmed shut. The farce was inexplicably settled. Alexa covered her chest and moved back to the room. Alexa poured out a handful of pills with her trembling hands and swallowed them. The phone rang at the right time. Kieran sent a message. It read, ¡°I¡¯m fine. Don¡¯t worry. Remember to take the medicine on time.¡± Kieran was a very gentle person. Alexa witnessed Terrence hurt Kieran like that. How could Kieran be fine? Alexaughed bitterly, half self-mocking and half sad. Alexa wrote a long text, but Alexa quickly deleted it. Alexa hesitated for a long time, and finally returned two words with extreme guilt and helplessness. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± The absurd night soon ushered in the dawn. Alexa almost did not sleep for the whole night, but she received the interview notice sent by ra in the morning. Last night, Kieran was injured because of her, and today ra could still invite Alexa to the interview without regard for the past. Inparison, Terrence was simply a selfish and cold-blooded bastard! Alexa felt very apologetic, so she immediately began to dress up and forced herself to go to the appointment. When Alexa went downstairs, Terrence was sitting at the dining table and eating breakfast. Alexa lifted her skirt and met his silent but sharp gaze suddenly. Alexa¡¯s fragile heart fiercely twisted, and the dull pain made Alexa go weak and almost fall down the stairs. But Terrence did not say anything as if he had seen an insignificant stranger, and soon Terrence looked away. Alexa breathed a sigh of relief and quickened her pace to pass the table, taking a boiled egg like a thief. However, Alexa¡¯s worry seemed to be unnecessary. Terrence had been eating the food on his te the entire time and did not care about her movements at all. After Alexa disappeared from the door, the bodyguard outside the door immediately entered the room. And the bodyguard asked, ¡°Mr. Ramsey, do you want us to follow Mrs. Ramsey as usual?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Terrence stared fiercely at him. ¡°Follow? What does it have to do with you?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry!¡± The tall and mighty bodyguard was instantly frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. Terrence looked more and more gloomy, and in the end, Terrence directly threw away the tableware in frustration. ¡°Get out!¡± Alexa! Alexa! Why is Alexa everywhere? How can there be traces of this kind of woman in my world? Alexa is ignorant, stupid, and always with an unreasonable sense of dullness. How can such a woman be worthy of being associated with me? Terrence wished he could immediately chase away Alexa, who did not know what was good for her, but there was always a dark and crazy thought in Terrence¡¯s mind¡­ Terrence wanted to tie Alexa firmly to his side until he tamed her! Terrence was angry again, but Alexa waspletely uninvolved. Alexa finished the simple breakfast on the crowded bus and then began to think about creative ideas. The Powell Group had developed very quickly in recent years and was quite famous in the high-end fashion industry. The designers who were chosen by this kind ofpany did not need to worry for the rest of their lives. Alexa did not think so. Alexa lowered her head and yed with her fingers. Alexa did not feel well. Alexa could feel that she did not have much time left. If Alexa could let others remember her at the Not long after, Alexa got off the bus and walked to the Powell Group¡¯s Building not far away. ¡°Get out of the way. Get out of the way!¡± A few hysterical shouts came from above. Alexa looked up and saw that the bricks on the wall of the tall building suddenly loosened and copsed. And there was a child standing at the bottom of the building. ¡°Little girl, it¡¯s dangerous!¡± Alexa shouted anxiously and rushed up to protect the little girl in her arms without thinking. The bricks all hit Alexa¡¯s body, and the air was quickly filled with a strong smell of blood. Alexa became unconscious intermittently, and only the cries of the girl and the screams of a woman could be heard. ¡°Honey, are you okay? Let me take a look.¡± ¡°Mom, thisdy has a lot of blood on her forehead. Is she okay?¡± Hearing this, the woman instantly turned her attention to Alexa. Alexa forced a smile and tried to stand up straight, but the world was still shaking. Alexa was so painful that she could not speak. Alexa raised her hand to her forehead helplessly, but Alexa did not know where the wound was. Scarlet blood quickly covered her entire face. It¡¯s just a little blood, so she should be fine. The womanforted herself and immediately held the child in her arms. ¡°Madam, I¡¯ll call an ambnce for you. Go to the hospital and bandage yourself. I¡­ I don¡¯t have money. Don¡¯t im on me¡­¡± The woman looked pale and looked around vigntly. Fortunately, no one saw that and the woman immediately fled with the child in her arms. Alexa staggered a few steps and finally copsed heavily on the ground. When Alexa woke up, it was already evening. The familiar smell of disinfectant mixed into her breath again. Alexa coughed lightly and opened her eyes in pain. ¡°Alexa, you finally woke up.¡± Content held by N?velDrama.Org. ra held Alexa¡¯s hand with concern. Alexa had a nk look on her face, obviously not knowing what had happened. ¡°Ms. Powell, I¡¯m sorry. The interview¡­¡± ra said, ¡°Alexa, don¡¯t think about the interview. It was such a dangerous situation. Fortunately, I drove by. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.¡± ra smiled helplessly. Chapter 138 Chapter 138 Chapter 138 ything ra said something, and Alexa remembered what had happened just now. ¡°Those two women are shameless. I have sent people for them.¡± ra snorted with indignation, ¡°They will have a good exnation to do.¡± ¡°Ms. Powell, you don¡¯t have to do that. If they¡¯re gone, then so be it.¡± Alexa sighed. ¡°Alexa, there¡¯s one more thing¡­ Seeing ra¡¯s expression change, Alexa¡¯s eyshes fluttered as she softly asked. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°I called Mr. Ramsey, but it seemed he didn¡¯t want to go here.¡± Alexa rxed her nervous expression when she heard this. ¡°Ms. Powell, I have to be honest with you. In fact, he and I¡­¡± Before Alexa could say something, someone walked in from outside the door. It was Kieran in a white coat. He fell his gentle gaze on Alexa, who was lying on the bed the moment he walked in, and smiled at her. ¡°You are awake!¡± Kieran walked to Alexa¡¯s bedside and began to check her forehead. ¡°It has been properly treated. Take a rest for a month.¡± As he spoke, Alexa stared at his wrist, lost in thought. The bruise looked particrly dazzling under the gentle sunlight of the setting sun. the However, Kieran did not seem to feel pain at all. He picked up pen and wrote something on Alexa¡¯s medical records. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± B A deep and powerful voice sounded. Alexa was caught on the spot, and she looked away in panic. She was crazy! Alexa was stunned, and a flush went over her pale face. ¡°Are you unwell?¡± Kieran asked. ra became nervous too. They looked at Alexa at the same time. ¡°No¡­ It¡¯s not¡­¡± Seeing that Alexa¡¯s ears turned red, ra gave out a knowing smile and nced at Kieran. ¡°Well, I have a party tonight, so I will leave you two here.¡± ra managed to break this awkward situation. Alexa looked at her with great gratitude and shifted the attention. ¡°Okay. Have fun.¡± Watching ra leave, Alexa breathed a sigh of relief. But when Alexa turned around, she found that Kieran was looking at her more seriously than before. ¡°Dr. Powell.¡± Oh, crap. Kieran was still thinking about what had just happened. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡­¡± Kieran leaned over, which startled Alexa, and she did not even dare to speak. ¡°What are you sorry about?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry about your hand.¡± Alexa panicked as she organized her words. ¡°That day¡­¡± ¡°Lying.¡± Kieran chuckled. The setting sun seemed to melt in his eyes. ¡°I am a doctor. No lie could Content held by N?velDrama.Org. escape my eyes.¡¯ ¡°Alright, I am just concerned about your hand. I am very sorry about that day. If you didn¡¯te, things wouldn¡¯t have turned out this way.¡± Kieran looked down for a moment, and he thought about some past memories. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I have done this before.¡± ¡°What?¡± Alexa¡¯s curiosity pulled Kieran back to his senses. ¡°You wouldn¡¯t remember even if I told you.¡± Kieran sounded joking, but Alexa took it seriously. What did he mean by ¡°wouldn¡¯t remember¡±? Had something happened between Kieran and her in the past? Alexa was about to ask when Kieran stood up and took a few steps back. ¡°Alright, you need a good rest. Don¡¯t overthink.¡± Once Kieran left, the room fell silent. Alexa did not like this ce at all. She got down from the bed and walked out of the door. Before she could open the door, the door opened, and then a tall and dark figure came behind the door. Alexa almost bumped into him. She looked up at him in confusion and dodged as if she had seen a ghost. ¡°Are youing in?¡± She fixed her clothes and said, ¡°I¡¯ll make way for you.¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes were cold, and his face was cold too, like ink. From the moment he walked in the door, he had been staring at Alexa as if he could swallow her alive. When he heard the news of Alexa¡¯s incident, he canceled the flight and rushed back to see her, but so what? ¡°You were with Kieran just now, weren¡¯t you?¡± Terrence squeezed out these words through gritted teeth. Alexa silently tied her shoces and walked out the door as if nothing had happened. Terrence was so angry that he forced Alexa to get back. Alexa knew he would do this. He would treat her like a docilemb underplete control under him. The narrow hospital bed couldn¡¯t bear the weight of two people at once, and it squeaked. There was a hint of impatience in Alexa¡¯s eyes as she narrowed her eyes and nced at Terrence¡¯s cor. There was a lip print on his cor, which was such a sexual area. ¡°You got a stain on your cor.¡± Alexa kindly reminded him. Terrence¡¯s face turned fierce, and he pressed Alexa¡¯s hands on top of her head. ¡°Alexa, are you silly?¡± Terrence sneered coldly, ¡°I have another woman. What does it have to do with you?¡± ¡°Of course, it has nothing to do with me. I just¡­¡± ¡°Were you with Kieran just now? I am asking you!¡± Seeing Terrence so furious, Alexa smiled sweetly and said fearlessly. ¡°Why are you so afraid? ording to your logic, it has nothing to do with you if I¡¯m seeing another man.¡± Alexa was aware that she was provoking Terrence on purpose, and Terrence reacted just as she thought. ¡°Alexa!¡± Terrence growled angrily, and his eyes turned red. ¡°How dare you!¡± ¡°Why wouldn¡¯t I?¡± Alexa was bold. A cold smile appeared on Terrence¡¯s tense face. It looked cruel and heartless. ¡°Do you think you can beat me by doing this? ¡°Who gave you the courage to speak like this in front of me? ¡°You think you are something, huh?¡± When she heard Terrence¡¯s words, Alexa¡¯s eyes flickered with tears, but she still pressed her lips together. Alexa was afraid that she would cry out when she was not trying. ¡°What¡¯s the point in doing this?¡± Alexa asked with a sob, ¡°I am not your ything.¡± ¡°You are not? Alexa, remember this. I bought you back. You are nothing but a ything for me.¡± Terrence put his hands around Alexa¡¯s chin. ¡°I want a divorce, Terrence. I want a divorce now!¡± Alexa¡¯s tears fell like beads, but Terrence did not show any pity, and his face became just colder. ¡°Divorce? That¡¯s impossible.¡± Chapter 139 Chapter 139 Chapter 139 You Can Only Fool Stupid Men The two of them were in a stalemate. The nurse suddenly pushed open the door and entered. She was immediately shocked. ¡°Ms. Duran¡­¡± Terrence instantly darted a fierce nce over, scaring the people at the door so much that they did. not dare to move at all. With weak legs, Alexa beat Terrence¡¯s arm in embarrassment and fluster. ¡°Let go of me!¡± Terrence seemed to be stunned for a long time. Finally, he stood up with aplicated expression. The chill on his face still did not fade away. He stood beside Alexa with an imposing air and stared at the nurse who came over with the medicine tray. ¡°Ms. Duran, Dr. Powell asked me to change the dressing for you.¡± The nurse¡¯s voice was obviously trembling. She did not dare to look at Terrence at all. However, she could clearly feel that this man was getting gloomy as if he were about to eat her alive. Somehow¡­ She felt she had seen him somewhere. Alexa was paying attention to the nurse¡¯s reaction nervously and striving to ignore Terrence. The bandage on his head was removed again, and the smell of blood mixed with the medicine. suddenly burst out. The wound that was as big as half a palm was clearly disyed in front of Terrence. His cold. expression instantly becamepletely dark. Alexa was extremely sensitive to pain. The nurse carefully dealt with her wound with the cold medicine, but the mangled wound hurt badly. Yet, Terrence was still here. Alexa gritted her lips. Even though he was in a cold sweat from the pain, he refused to make a sound of fear. A momentter, her hand that clutched at the bed sheet was suddenly prized open and then gently held by that warmrge palm. Alexa nced at him in surprise. Terrence leaned over to stand by her side. He said coldly, ¡°If you feel pain, scream out.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt¡­¡± Alexa said. ¡°Why did you lie to me?¡± Terrence asked. ¡°I didn¡¯t lie to you.¡± Alexa was not in the mood to y this kind of boring trick with him now, so she pulled her hand. away. Terrence, however, gripped her hand even tighter and threatened her without any humanity. ¡°Don¡¯t move. If the suture ruptures, you will have to go to the emergency room.¡± Alexa red at him indignantly and obediently let him hold her hand. Terrence turned his gaze away from Alexa and restored an indifferent expression. The nurse acted even more gently, afraid of offending this terrifying man. Half an hourter, the nurse finally finished handling Alexa¡¯s wound. ¡°Ms. Duran, Dr. Powell wille to check on your situation at 2 am. You should rest early.¡± ¡°Okay¡­¡± ¡°He doesn¡¯t need toe anymore,¡± Terrence said solemnly, ¡°I want to change the doctor.¡± When the nurse heard Terrence say this, she looked at Alexa in confusion. Alexa was extremely awkward and smiled dryly at the nurse. What was wrong with Terrence? ¡°Don¡¯t bother. Dr. Powell¡­¡± ¡°Just get me a new doctor as you¡¯re told,¡± Terrence said coldly and his patience was running out. ¡°Otherwise, I will immediately shut down this hospital.¡± Alexa bit her tongue at once. She lowered her head and silently grabbed the corner of the quilt. Terrence stared at the nurse who was stupefied in situ and frowned slightly in disgust. ¡°Don¡¯t you understand what I¡¯m saying?¡± ¡°Yes¡­¡± The nurse looked at Alexa with difficulty and immediately trotted out. The room became quiet again. Alexa silently sighed andy down despite the pain. ¡°Are you going to sleep?¡± Terrence looked down at her from high above. ¡°Or else?¡± Alexa said grumpily, ¡°Do you think I should try my best to please you like your lover?¡± Terrence sneered casually. ¡°Given your skills, you can only fool those stupid men.¡± Alexa knew that he was mocking Kieran implicitly again and her impression of Terrence became bad to the core instantly. She turned to the side and closed her eyes, no longer answering his words. Terrence was like a cat that became mad and didn¡¯t getforted. He snorted arrogantly, pulled a chair over, folded his legs, and sat down. Alexa was lying motionless. Clearly, she was pretending to be asleep. Terrence sat aside with a long face and looked rather terrifying. He was about to say something to provoke Alexa when someone suddenly knocked on the door. Alexa was obviously shocked and turned back to re at him. Terrence turned his head to the side and ridiculed her with schadenfreude. ¡°The debtor ising for you.¡± Alexa subconsciously believed what Terrence said. She was just about to go over and open the door when the person outside suddenly opened the door by himself. Aron, dressed in a white suit, solemnly held a banner and came in with nine handsome young men. Alexa turned to look at Terrence, but he just sat on the chair and darted a cold nce at them. Aron did not care about Terrence¡¯s reaction at all. Instead, he walked towards Alexa with the young men. ¡°Alexa, I heard that you were injured in order to save someone!¡± ¡°Oh right¡­¡± Alexa waspletely dumbfounded and nodded dully. ¡°It¡¯s too touching!¡± Aron sighed emotionally and solemnly presented the banner in his hand to Alexa. ¡°I specially made a silk banner. Please ept it.¡± Not far away, Terrence¡¯s expression was dark as he pinched the space between his eyebrows and sighed heavily. What went around came around. In addition, Aron moved closer mysteriously and whispered in a voice that everyone could hear. ¡°I also brought you a few top male models for fun¡­¡± Before Aron finished his words, a vase rushed straight at him. If it weren¡¯t for Aron¡¯s rich experience of hiding quickly, his head would be smashed. Terrence flew into a rage. He said sulkily, ¡°Do you wanna die?¡± Aron joked with a grin. Then, he summoned the courage to say, ¡°Are you jealous now? I am doing this utterly for the sake of Alexa.¡± ¡°Get out!¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Aron answered quickly. Then, he immediately took his male models and retreated. Before leaving, Aron did not forget to gossip in front of Alexa. ¡°His temper is not good at all. Alexa, you should discipline him well.¡± ¡°Hub, huh¡­¡± Alexa¡¯s smile was fake, but she was embarrassed for real. After sending Aron away, she silently returned to the bed andy down. Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. Terrence¡¯s face seemed to be frozen. He stared at her coldly. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Alexa asked in confusion, ¡°Did I do anything wrong again?¡± ¡°Why did you save her at that time?¡± Terrence changed the topic too quickly, and Alexa did note back to his senses for a while. After thinking for a moment, she said weakly. ¡°In that situation, anyone would have done it.¡± ¡°No,¡± Terrence replied firmly. ¡°Not everyone is as cold-blooded as you.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve asked a psychological expert to analyze it. Your way was literally suicidal.¡± Chapter 140 Chapter 140 Chapter 140 She Should¡¯ve Been Mrs. Powell When Terrence said this, Alexa was suddenly stunned. She indeed had such an idea at that time. If Alexa couldmit suicide, all the grudges would be wiped out. But Alexa did not expect herself to be so lucky, and she was saved by ra. So, what was Terrence doing? She wasn¡¯t dead, so Terrence was very disappointed? Alexa casually scratched her hair and suddenly cracked a smile. ¡°Because I¡¯m stupid. Don¡¯t you think so?¡± Terrence was astonished for a moment, and then he became indifferent again. Alexa was lying to him. Terrence looked more and more serious. He suddenly said calmly, ¡°Don¡¯t dream of escaping from me in this way. No way.¡± Content held by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°What if I really die?¡± ¡°Die?¡± Terrence smiled. ¡°Try it? As long as you¡¯re still alive, I can bring you back at all costs.¡± ¡°So funny.¡± Alexa forced a bitter smile and looked very sad. She put the banner away and theny down to sleep. She was too tired and did not care what Terrence would do to her. Alexa curled up in bed and soon fell asleep. Terrence had been standing by her bedside all the time, and he looked overbearing. He wanted to spend the night with her in the hospital, but not long after, Terrence received a call from Brynlee. Without any hesitation, Terrence picked up his coat and left. However, he did not expect to meet Kieran at the door. Instantly, Terrence grabbed Kieran by the cor and pressed him against the wall. ¡°Fuck off!¡± Terrence growled, ¡°Don¡¯t force me to kill you.¡± 1/4 Kieran didn¡¯t panic at all. He slightly tilted his head and looked at Terrence mockingly. ¡°If she wakes up and sees this, what will she think of you?¡± In an instant, Terrence¡¯s face turned gloomy. He said coldly, ¡°You used her?¡± Kieran pursed his lips and could not help but chuckle. ¡°Terrence, she should have been with me. Do you understand?¡± Terrence¡¯s face turned gloomier, and he grabbed Kieran¡¯s cor more tightly. ¡°What nonsense are you talking about?¡± ¡°We had already been engaged. Without you, she should¡¯ve been Mrs. Powell.¡± ¡°Are you crazy?¡± Terrence waspletely out of patience. He then directly threw Kieran to the side. ¡°Do you deserve to marry her? How dare you?¡± Kieran calmly tidied up his cor. Though he wore a smile, he looked very indifferent. ¡°Instead of threatening me, why don¡¯t you ask her?¡± Kieran looked as gentle as ever, but he sounded arrogant as if he was the winner. ¡°Terrence, she can¡¯t leave me.¡± 1/ Kieran didn¡¯t bother to talk with Terrence and directly pushed open the door and walked into the ward. Given that, regardless of what he promised to Alexa, Terrence angrily chased after Kieran. Alexa had a light sleep. Hearing the noise by the bedside, she immediately opened her eyes. Seeing Kieran and Terrence in front of her, Alexa bit her lips and subconsciously said, ¡°Dr. Powell.¡± When Terrence heard Alexa¡¯s soft voice, he instantly lost his temper. Didn¡¯t Alexa see Terrence stand there? Terrence knew that Kieran, the bastard, did not dare to do anything to Alexa, but even so, Terrence was still angry. But when he saw Alexa¡¯s silly but pitiful expression, Terrence forced himself to hold back his anger and silently went around the other side of the bed. GARROUG 1. Alexa seemed to be very tired and kept her eyes closed all the time. Kieran gently checked for her injuries, and then they began to talk happily. ¡°Cut the crap.¡± Terrence suddenly growled. He red at Kieran with a gloomy face. Hearing Terrence¡¯s voice, Alexa instantly stopped talking and looked at Kieran apologetically. Meanwhile, Kieran just smiled. This made Alexa feel very safe andfortable. ¡°It¡¯s okay. You¡¯d better not quarrel.¡± Kieran patted Alexa on the shoulder tofort her. He nced at Terrence with some provocation. ¡°I think Mr. Ramsey just doesn¡¯t understand us. That¡¯s it.¡± Kieran did not say that in front of Terrence just now, but Terrence disdained arguing with such a disgusting man. ¡°Get out. I don¡¯t want to see you again,¡± Terrence said coldly. But Kieran was not frightened by him at all. Instead, Kieran turned to nod at Alexa. ¡°Alexa, have a good rest. See you tomorrow.¡± ¡°Thank you, Dr. Powell.¡± Alexa quietly watched Kieran leave. After Kieran left, she immediately closed her eyes. Terrence, however, snorted and tucked Alexa in with a long face. ¡°Didn¡¯t youugh happily just now? Now you fall asleep?¡± ¡°Terrence, can you stop making a scene?¡± Alexa frowned. ¡°He is a doctor, but you are not.¡± ¡°Talking back to me?¡± ¡°I am going to sleep.¡± Alexa continued, ¡°You won¡¯t leave?¡± ¡°None of your business.¡± Terrence¡¯s words were harsh, and he turned to lie down on another bed with indignation. It wasn¡¯t good at all in the hospital, and everything was not as good as at home. However, Terrence slept very deeply. Early the next day, he didn¡¯t wake up until Alexa got up. She was dressed very delicately today. Even though her forehead was wrapped in a bandage, Alexa still looked gorgeous. Alexa happened to walk past Terrence. Before he could say something, he subconsciously grabbed her hand. ¡°Where are you going?¡± Terrence¡¯s voice was slightly hoarse, and it was maic. ¡°I¡¯ll go to Maeve.¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± Terrence didn¡¯t realize what Alexa said. ¡°Where are you going?¡± ¡°I have an appointment.¡± Alexa patiently exined, ¡°I¡¯m fine now. Dr. Powell will go with me.¡± ¡°How dare you!¡± Terrence suddenly got up. ¡°Go back to bed and lie down. Your head is hurt, and you still want to go out with him?¡± After that, Terrence¡¯s face changed strangely. ¡°Wait for me. I¡¯ll go with you. Tell him to fuck off.¡± Terrence would always make a scene wherever he was. Alexa stared at him with mixed feelings. She was not very willing to let him meddle in her life. ¡°Why do you look like that?¡± Terrence said with displeasure, ¡°Do you think I want to go with you? If you didn¡¯t always cause me trouble, why would I care about you?¡± 87 17 Chapter 141 Chapter 141 Chapter 141 Measure Her Waist With Hand Alexa said softly, ¡°You got it wrong. I didn¡¯t want you to care about me. If you do mind, I can¡­¡± Terrence interrupted her angrily, ¡°What can you do? Can you run away from home? Or can you ask Kieran to amodate you?¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t done that.¡± ¡°Haven¡¯t you? Alexa, you might have a perfect n, but I won¡¯t allow it toe true.¡± Alexa didn¡¯t want to argue with Terrence, so she casually shrugged. ¡°I don¡¯t mind what you think.¡± ¡°It¡¯s like I owe you.¡± Terrence med Alexa in an irritable tone for a long time before taking the clothes sent by his assistant to the bathroom. Alexa finally breathed a sigh of relief. She could hardly bear Terrence. After a few minutes, Alexa suddenly realized Kieran was waiting for her at the door, so she felt apologetic and went toward the door.. Unexpectedly, Terrence came out of the bathroom at that moment and saw Alexa¡¯s behavior. ¡°Where are you going?¡± Terrence said coldly and fixed his cold eyes on Alexa. ¡°Do you want to abandon me?¡± Alexa thought she was unlucky and stood back obediently. Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. Alexa was the patient who needed to be cared for, but Terrence had exchanged their identities. naturally. Terrence restrained his anger and took over Alexa¡¯s suitcase. Alexa wanted to reject but failed. Therefore, Terrence opened the suitcase arrogantly. C Seeing the colorful skirts, Terrence became disdainful. ¡°Are you sure there is nothing wrong with your mind?¡± ¡°What?¡± Before Alexa understood what Terrence meant, he sighed irritably and took out his phone to make a call. ¡°Winter clothes for ady who is 65 inches.¡± Suddenly, Terrence became hesitant and nced at Alexa with a subtle expression. ¡°The measurements are 32, 22, and 34 inches. Prepare from underwear to overcoat and send them to Mount Desert Ind.¡± Hearing Terrence telling others her measurements calmly, Alexa blushed. Terrence hung up the phone. Alexa said through her clenched teeth, ¡°Terrence, you¡­¡± ¡°Why?¡± Terrence was provoked by Alexa and began to teach her another lesson. ¡°Have you never had a trip? Don¡¯t you know that you need to check the weather forecast? How could you be so stupid?¡± Alexa felt ufortable because Terrence always treated her as a loser. She tugged at her sleeves and said softly, ¡°All that was done by servants in the past. ¡°Moreover, I have checked the weather forecast. Mount Desert Ind has warmed up.¡± ¡°Do you treat me as your servant?¡± Terrence¡¯s words made Alexa speechless. They left the ward after a long time. Alexa was as sullen as an angry child. Kieran smiled and silently went close to Alexa. When Terrence saw Kieran, anger simmered inside him. He grabbed Alexa¡¯s shoulder and pulled her close to him. Alexa let out a low cry, and her wound almost hit Terrence¡¯s chest. Kieran was so worried he couldn¡¯t help but look at Alexa solemnly. ¡°Your wound hasn¡¯t healed yet. Be careful.¡± Before Alexa said anything, Terrence¡¯s face turned dark. He said unhappily, ¡°You don¡¯t have to say that. Stop talking nonsense.¡± Kieran did not confront Terrence. He nodded politely and said calmly, ¡°Mr. Ramsey, it¡¯s good you know that. ¡°After all, Ms. Duran¡¯s health is the most important.¡± Terrence ignored Kieran¡¯s nonsense. When he heard the way Kieran called Alexa, he red at Kieran. ¡°She is Mrs. Ramsey instead of Ms. Duran.¡± Terrence targeted Kieran. Seeing that, Alexa could notpress her anger and wanted to say something. At that moment, Terrence silently drew his hand down and pinched her waist hard. With a shudder of horror, Alexa dared not move anymore. Terrence was satisfied with Alexa¡¯s reaction and snorted. ¡°I just don¡¯t want to put her in trouble,¡± Kieran said peacefully. He tried not to look into Terrence¡¯s eyes. Alexa was pulled away by Terrence like a puppet, and the scent lingered around her, but she did not feel at ease. At that moment, Terrence was like a madman who would do anything to achieve his goal. As long as he could humiliate Kieran, he could even take advantage of Alexa. ¡°How annoying!¡± Alexa murmured in a low voice. She tried to shake off Terrence¡¯s hand. However, Terrence held her back even more ruthlessly. Being unprepared, Alexa banged into his chest and felt dizzy from the pain. ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Terrence reached out and mped Alexa¡¯s face, forcing her to look up at him. red at by the gloomy and warning gaze, Alexa was frightened in a cold sweat and became obedient. Terrence pinched Alexa¡¯s waist by chance but found her figure perfect. Alexa was not used to being held by Terrence as she walked, so she tried to keep her distance from him. However, Terrence got a chance. His warm andrge palm measured Alexa¡¯s waist even more urately when she struggled. ÎÒ ¡°Actually, it¡¯s not 22 feet. It should be 21 feet, right?¡± Terrence got closer to Alexa and whispered in her ear in a nasty tone. Alexa blushed. She gritted her teeth and stomped on Terrence¡¯s foot. ¡°Crazy!¡± Alexa cursed in a low voice, afraid that Kieran would hear that. Terrence groaned and pulled her closer. When they walked to the hospital¡¯s entrance, Kieran¡¯s car was waiting for them. ¡°Get into the car, please. I¡¯ve prepared your favorite cake for you.¡± Kieran kindly opened the car door for Alexa and stood aside, waiting for her to get in. Terrence did not intend to let go of Alexa. He gritted his teeth and cursed, ¡°How shameless!¡± Kieran said calmly, like a stable and mature man, ¡°Mr. Ramsey, you must have misunderstood me again. As a doctor, I should be responsible for Ms. Duran¡¯s nutritious meals.¡± ¡°I have never misunderstood your shamelessness.¡± When Terrence finished his words, several Rolls-Royces parked before them. The cars were so eye- catching that many passers-by stopped to watch. The well-trained bodyguards lined up to block the strangers, taking photos of Alexa. Terrence sneered with disdain, ¡°Kieran, I have no interest in dealing with you. However, Alexa is my wife. I have to teach you a lesson. Just wait and see.¡± Chapter 142 Chapter 142 Chapter 142 Girls¡¯ Topic Alexa never thought that Terrence would hate Kieran so much. Kieran must have harmed Terrence¡¯s interests. After all, Terrence was an extremely shrewd businessman. Terrence turned back to look at Alexa¡¯s expression. Seeing that she was distracted again, he felt angry. She dared to so brazenly miss Kieran in front of him. ¡°Dr. Powell is a coward.¡± Terrence sneered triumphantly, ¡°Why do you like him?¡± Alexa stared at Terrence and said. ¡°Beauty is the eyes of the beholder.¡± Hearing this, Terrence put on a poker face. ¡°Nonsense.¡± Alexa rarely heard Terrence say such words in a fit of rage, but Terrence did not give her a chance to reply at all and directly carried her up in public. ¡°Put me down!¡± Terrence nced at her coldly, his eyes on fire. ¡°Alexa, did I spoil you? I don¡¯t have a good temper.¡± ¡°So many people are here. Put me down!¡± ¡°Just now, you were about to stick to him. Don¡¯t you feel very embarrassed?¡± Terrence¡¯s voice became louder and louder, and Alexa didn¡¯t dare to talk to him anymore, in case she got embarrassed again. ¡°Say something. Weren¡¯t you very good at talking just now?¡± They boarded the ne in silence. Alexa sat down and soon fell asleep. Terrence couldn¡¯t do anything to her, so he took a nket and covered her with it. ¡°You¡¯re so stupid.¡± Terrence said hatefully, ¡°It¡¯s easy to trust others. You will definitely be cheated!¡± ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Alexa¡¯s eyshes, as thick as a fan, gently moved, and her delicate lips quietly moved. ¡°Huh?¡± Hearing this soft raving, Terrence subconsciously responded, and his calm handsome face revealed a rare gentleness and restraint. After Alexa shouted out in a nonsensical manner, there was no more movement. Perhaps this girl was arguing with him in her dreams. Terrence gently raised his hand and touched her face like a cool breeze in the mountains. It was as gentle as the moon, not startling her into sleeping peacefully. Edwin, who hade to report the situation, saw this scene and was instantly scared stiff. What was that? What was Mr. Ramsey doing? His actions were even more terrifying than the usual harsh ¡°workaholic¡± image. Sensing Edwin¡¯s movements, Terrence immediately retracted his hand and said coldly as if nothing had happened. ¡°Come in.¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey!¡± Edwin immediately adjusted his expression, ¡°Kieran¡¯s ne is following behind.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Terrence¡¯s gaze was gentle as if he was ying with a ything in the palm of his hand, ¡°Let hime, I want to see what he wants to do.¡± ¡°Yes, Mr. Ramsey.¡± After Edwin left, Terrence¡¯s gaze slowly got back to Alexa. Perhaps she would only be so obedient when she fell asleep. Shepletely put away her fierce stubbornness and was as docile as a kitty dumpling who was taking a nap. Alexa was as white as a piece of paper. What could she hide? In front of Alexa, Terrence would always think about many things. He always felt as if he had seen this delicate and nimble face somewhere before, and it was a long time ago¡­ An hourter, the nended on an ind in the early snow. Feeling the vibration of the array with the sense of weightlessness, Alexa immediately woke up. Terrence withdrew his hand without a trace and sat down on the side with a distant aura. Alexa picked up the nket on her body in a daze and nced at Terrence. ¡°This is¡­¡± ¡°No.¡± Terrence coldly interrupted, ¡°Don¡¯t think that I will do these stupid things.¡± ¡°Well.¡± Alexa rubbed her eyes and yawned weakly. ¡°Did we arrive? Then let¡¯s go.¡± Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! After Alexa stood up, she stretched out her hand in Terrence¡¯s direction. But after a moment, she immediately realized how terrible her actions were. She recognized the wrong person again. And her panic had already been taken in by Terrence, and his deep eyes immediately turned cold. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Terrence asked patiently. ¡°Nothing.¡± Alexa brushed her hair and walked around Terrence guiltily. But he did not intend to let this matter go. Alexa had not taken a few steps when her thin wrist was firmly grabbed by him. Terrence strode forward and nced at her calmly. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Maeve had spent a lot of money on renting the entire ind. As soon as they walked out of the cabin, the scene in front of them immediately shocked Alexa to the extreme. Everyndscape here was developed very well. There were dense coconut forests on the road, and the sea wind blew. The sky was gentle. Seeing the peopleing in front of her, Alexa immediately threw away Terrence¡¯s hand and trotted over briskly. ¡°Alexa,¡± Maeve shouted and ran to Alexa. Terrence was feeling rxed. A familiar figure came up and walked side by side with him. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, you are in a good mood.¡± ¡°Before I saw you, it was really good.¡± ¡°This is not the only surprise on this ind.¡± Kieran said and quickened his pace towards Alexa. Before Terrence could understand what he meant, the crowd in front of him suddenly burst into a warm cheer. ¡°Everyone has to attend tonight¡¯s bonfire party!¡± Maeve shouted loudly. Beside her, Alexa was enlightened like a child. Terrence immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Kieran, standing side by side with Alexa. However, the people present did not care too much about the rtionship between them, and no one mentioned the relevant topics. Terrence was not suitable for this noisy scene. He stood in the midst of the bustle, as cold as the clouds in the distant mountains. Maeve snuck a nce at him, leaned over to Alexa, and whispered in her ear. ¡°A guest will be hereter, and you must meet him.¡¯ ¡°Since you requested it, then I will obey.¡± Terrence overheard their conversation openly, and his handsome eyebrows slightly furrowed. What were they talking about? Why were they hiding it from him? Terrence moved his lips and was about to ask when Alexa was pulled away. It seemed that she was quite popr. Terrence smiled and immediately followed her. Maeve stared at him warily, not wanting to have too much to do with him. She was very clear about the ¡°glorious deeds¡± that Terrence and Brynlee had done. What kind of good man was he pretending to be now? ¡°Do you also want to participate in our girls¡¯ topic?¡± ¡°It¡¯s my honor.¡± Chapter 143 Chapter 143 Chapter 143 I Come Back to Marry You As expected of a shrewd businessman, he was so shameless. Maeve did not have a good impression of Terrence, and now it was even lower to negative. Alexa held Maeve¡¯s hand quietly, indicating that she should not be impulsive. But when Maeve saw the bandage wrapped around Alexa¡¯s head, the anger that she had suppressed now rose again. She shielded Alexa behind her and fearlessly shouted angrily in front of Terrence. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, don¡¯t follow us. Alexa will always be bullied and injured by your side. She needs some space.¡± ¡°Maeve¡­¡± Alexa secretly whispered and pulled Maeve¡¯s sleeve weakly. In fact, she did not me Terrence now. After all, Terrence married her because of the pressure of the family, not to mention that he fell in love with another before. Alexa pursed her lips, and her clear eyes were inexplicably stained with a touch of sadness. From the day she married him, she deserved it. And no matter how agitated Maeve was, Terrence¡¯s eyes remained indifferent and he was not angry because of it. Alexa did not want to make it a big deal and tried to pull Maeve away. From the beginning to the end, Terrence seemed to be just an insignificant stranger in her eyes. He stood silently in ce, and under his cold and frosty face was a turbulent dark tide. Whether Alexa was bullied or injured, she had never told him. Even if she was injured that day, and it was even the Powell family that informed him to go to the hospital. Seeing that something was wrong, Edwin immediately quietly came to Terrence¡¯s side, waiting for his instructions as usual. However, after a strange silence, his boss suddenly sighed deeply. ¡°Ask thewyer to get a divorce agreement. Everything else will be ording to Alexa. However, 1 will give her the money and the vi in the south of the city.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± After leaving the bustling crowd, Maeve walked in a lonely coconut forest with Alexa. There were faint sounds of waves surging around, bringing Alexa¡¯s heart up and down. ¡°Alexa, I really did not expect Terrence to be with you. Could it be that you¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s not like that. He and I are about to get divorced. What else can happen?¡± Alexa said, shaking her head in frustration. ¡°Congrattions! I am happy for you from the bottom of my heart.¡± Maeve stopped in her tracks. It was obvious that there was a hidden meaning in her words. ¡°It¡¯s time for you to start a new life. After all, so many people love you.¡± ¡°Well, I don¡¯t want to talk about this now.¡± Alexa seemed to be a little dispirited. Whenever Terrence was mentioned, the bitterness in her. heart would always suddenly break through the gate andpletely drown her. As the days slowly passed, the sky of the ind gradually darkened. Alexa sat at the table and watched them set up the grill. The kebabs creaked as the warm aroma carried the sea wind and blew over. The chill was gradually burned dry. However, Alexa was not thinking about this worldly liveliness. She drank hot tea and quietly looked around. Where did Terrence go? Before Alexa figured it out, there was a sudden movement behind her. ¡°Alexa, this is n.¡± Maeve¡¯s voice sounded. Alexa looked back and noticed the tall and noble man next to Maeve. The facial features had an innate nobility and beauty. Herke-blue eyes were like crystals, making people unable to move their eyes away from her. ¡°Hello, Ms. Duran.¡± The man said politely and greeted her. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! ¡°Nice to meet you.¡± Alexa suppressed her excitement as she spoke softly. Her clear eyes were filled with a pure smile. Maeve knew her well. This girl was simply obsessed with jewelry design. In her heart, there were many great deities that she admired. ¡°I have seen your work. You are such a genius!¡± Being praised by his idol, Alexa¡¯s heart immediately floated up and instantly threw Terrence to the back of her mind. ¡°n is with a friend.¡± Maeve slowly exined, but Alexa didn¡¯t take it to heart. A momentter, the noisy party suddenly quieted down. A light came straight at Alexa, who was shocked to realize that she had be the focus of the crowd. In the dark night, someone stood not far away looking at her with eyes full of tenderness, slowly strumming the guitar string. ¡°Don¡¯t mention the past anymore. Life is full of storms¡­¡± This was¡­ Alexa turned around in surprise. That person who hade to her dreams countless times¡­ ¡°Because I still have dreams, and I still put you in my heart.¡± His voice was as if it had been washed away. When everyone listened silently, there was only one sentence left in Alexa¡¯s mind. He was still the same as before, not changing at all. The time of a song quickly passed, and the young man in a white suit nodded to the audience with deep affection. The lights lit up again, and he walked slowly toward her with a handsome smile. Behind him was a starry night dyed with dreams. Alexa murmured, silently and powerlessly piecing together his name. ¡°Brenton¡­¡± At this time, the private ne in the distance suddenly made a roar before taking off. Alexa subconsciously looked in that direction. That was the direction in which Terrence stopped the ne. Terrence left? However, Alexa did not have time to think about it because Brenton had already walked over. They were just inches away, and he came against the light like a bright star. Alexa lowered her head to look at her toes. Her face was so stiff that she could not make any other expressions. ¡°Long time no see.¡± Brenton greeted first with a gentle smile on his face. This was the little girl he was thinking about. Every day and night abroad, he was thinking about her. Was she fat or thin, tall? Her hair should be long, right? Was she crying orughing¡­ All of Brenton¡¯s fantasies were shattered at this moment. All the feelings were instantly enriched. ¡°You look just like the first time we met. Do you still remember?¡± Brenton said seriously and lowered his head carefully. Alexa was shocked by Brenton¡¯s affectionate tone and immediately raised her head to look at him. The youth from back then hadpletely changed. His eyes were even deeper, and there was a hint of maturity in them. ¡°You¡¯re finally willing to look at me.¡± Brenton spoke with satisfaction and very greedily saw her clearly. Even her hair was so beautiful. ¡°Please don¡¯t¡­¡± Alexa lowered her voice in a slight panic, looking like she was about to cry. 1 How could Terrence leave her alone? ¡°Alexa, I came back to marry you.¡± Brenton said word by word with an invisible pressure, ¡°I couldn¡¯t give it to you in the past, but now I can give you whatever you want!¡± Chapter 144 Chapter 144 Chapter 144 How Can He Not Hate Her? ¡°No¡­¡± Alexa uttered with difficulty, and her face was pale as she shook her head. Brenton seemed to not understand what she meant. He took a step forward with an even stronger sense of oppression. ¡°Are you and him happy?¡± This question was like a whip that fiercely whipped Alexa. She suddenly looked up with tears in her eyes. Brenton¡¯s hands that hung by his sides moved slightly, and his deep brown eyes quickly shed with unknown ruthlessness. The more Alexa hesitated, the more Brenton was furious. Brenton thought, how could I not hate her? I was ready to propose, but the Duran family went bankrupt overnight. When I met Alexa again, she had be Terrence¡¯s wife. However, Terrence didn¡¯t give her a grand wedding, flowers, and everything that she ever wanted to have. So I asked her if she was happy in the past three years. Alexa stood in front of him with a pale face, lowering her eyebrows. But Brenton knew that she was not like this at all. Alexa was even more heartless than he had imagined¡­ The distance between them was too close, but their expressions were not good. Maeve noticed that something was wrong. She was about to step forward to break the embarrassment when a tall figure walked over before her. ¡°Mr. Darrell.¡± A deep and powerful voice sounded. Alexa¡¯s stiff face loosened a little and she looked back as if she had grasped onto a life-saving straw. Brenton saw Kieran standing by Alexa¡¯s side naturally, and the smile on his face became more and more brilliant. Alexa looked gratefully at Kieran and rxed. ¡°If you have something to say to Alexa, you can talk about itter.¡± As if he had not heard Kieran¡¯s words, Brenton suddenly turned his eyes to Alexa¡¯s forehead. ¡°Alexa, how did you get an injury? Who bullied you?¡± Brenton¡¯s affectionate tone made Alexa very ufortable. Alexa thought, we have already broken up for so many years. Why did Brenton still speak to me in this tone openly? ¡°It¡¯s fine. Mr. Darrell, you don¡¯t have to worry.¡± Kieran interrupted Brenton¡¯s words and stood in front of Alexa to protect her. ¡°How can I not worry? Alexa is my fianc¨¦e,¡± Brenton said possessively. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! Kieran¡¯s gentle face instantly became gloomy when he heard these words. Without waiting for Alexa to speak, the people behind her came over promptly. n didn¡¯t notice the awkwardness in the crowd. He joked, ¡°Didn¡¯t youe with me? Where did you go just now?¡± Brenton curved his lips slightly, and his smiling eyes never left Alexa. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not talk about this anymore.¡± Brenton¡¯s words made Alexa even more embarrassed. At this moment, n also noticed something strange. ¡°So you know each other?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± 5. Brenton looked at Alexa with a gentle gaze. He looked at her with interest and her expression. became more and more awkward. In the end, Brenton suddenly said. ¡°We¡¯ve known each other for many years. You haven¡¯t changed at all.¡± ¡°Alexa¡­¡± Maeve said weakly. Now, she suddenly felt regretful. Without waiting for her to say anything, Kieran suddenly reached out and grabbed Alexa on the shoulder. ¡°It¡¯s time to change the medicine. I¡¯m sorry, everyone. We have to leave now.¡± Alexa¡¯s feet seemed to have been enchanted as she involuntarily followed Kieran. In this case, the only one she could trust was him. Brenton watched Alexa walk further and further away with Kieran, the gloom in his eyes didn¡¯t dissipate. When they reached a ce where no one was around, Kieran immediately released his hand and distanced himself from Alexa. ¡°Sorry, I had no choice but to do this just now.¡± ¡°Dr. Powell, thank you.¡± Alexa tidied her clothes and sighed in relief. ¡°You and Brenton¡­¡± ¡°Oh, he is my ex-boyfriend.¡± Alexa tried her best to calm down, and her tone seemed a little deliberate. Even though she had rehearsed it many times in her heart, when she said the words ¡°ex-boyfriend¡±, her heart still felt a dull pain. Alexa thought, I loved Brenton vigorously in the past. How could it be so easy to forget him? Kieran did not ask more and changed the topic at the right time. Alexa and Kieran walked to the hotel. Kieran went to the front desk to get the room card and took her upstairs. Alexa stood behind him and clearly saw that the eyes of the front deskdy were a little subtle. Alexa thought, perhaps a bleak person like me is ipatible with Kieran. The room that Maeve had left for her was a sea view room with excellent lighting, but Alexa didn¡¯t have the mood to enjoy the scenery. She was so sleepy that she could not open her eyes. She sat down on the sofa and wanted to sleep. The person next to her was Kieran, and Alexa did not have any vignce. ¡°Dr. Powell, I am going to sleep first. You should go back to rest early.¡± ¡°I have to change the medicine for you before leaving.¡± Kieran said gently and made her a cup of honey water from the side. ¡°Actually, I am very surprised to meet Brenton here.¡± Alexa held her face and murmured thoughtfully, looking like an obedient child. ¡°I have imagined countless scenes of reuniting with him, but I didn¡¯t expect it to be like this.¡± Alexa heard that Brenton made a career abroad, and his family raised their prestige. But Alexa didn¡¯t expect that Brenton would sing for her in front of everyone like his previous confession. Kieran¡¯s eyes dimmed slightly and he interrupted Alexa¡¯s train of thought at the right time. ¡°It¡¯s all in the past. There¡¯s no need to think too much about it.¡± ¡°Yes, Dr. Powell, you are right.¡± ¡°Actually, I have dealt with Brenton before. He has many simrities with Terrence.¡± Kieran suddenly changed the topic. Speaking of Terrence, Alexa suddenly thought of something. She found her phone in her handbag, and there were 20 missed calls from Terrence. Alexa thought, damn it! Terrence must be very angry now. ¡°My assistant sent the medicine over. I¡¯ll go to the door to get it.¡± After Kieran left, Alexa immediately sent a message to Terrence. She texted: ¡°Sorry, my phone was on silent just now. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± After the message was sessfully sent out, Alexa breathed a sigh of relief. However, Terrence did not reply to her. Kieran had helped her change the medicine, but there was still no message from Terrence. Alexa fell on the bed alone, tangled for a long time, and finally called him. The phone was quickly picked up, but it was a proud and charming female voice. ¡°Terrence is taking a shower. If there is anything, you can tell me.¡± It was Brynlee! Alexa did not say a word and directly hung up the phone. Hearing the busy signal, Brynlee sneered, but Terrence reached out from behind her and immediately snatched the phone away. Chapter 145 Chapter 145 Chapter 145 I Really Don¡¯t Want to Hate You Noticing Terrence¡¯s vignce, Brynlee was unhappy. ¡°Terrence, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Brynlee said pitifully, ¡°I just answered a phone call for you.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t need it.¡± Terrence said aloofly, focusing on the call records. Seeing the familiar words on the screen, he got a little stunned and walked out of the room in an imposing manner. Brynlee bit her lips which turned red. She mmed her hand on the table with rage and hatred. She thought, it¡¯s that bitch Alexa again! I¡¯m going to be engaged to Terrence, and I want Alexa to die! Brynlee clenched her fists, and there was a vicious smile on her beautiful face. After Alexa took the medicine, she didn¡¯t check her phone. The phone rang again, like a bell from hell, causing her heart to wrench with pain. She pressed the answer button calmly and heard Terrence¡¯s ruthless questions immediately. ¡°Alexa, you¡¯re quite cool, huh? You¡¯re very happy to see Brentone for you, right?¡± She didn¡¯t expect him to talk about this first. Alexa did not even dare to ask him why he left. Her pale lips trembled, and she choked out words. ¡°I¡­ I¡¯m not¡­¡± Before Alexa could finish, Terrence suddenly interrupted her impatiently. ¡°I don¡¯t have time to listen to your bullshit. Come back tomorrow morning!¡± ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been very busy recently. I¡¯ll deal with you when I have time!¡± Terrence shouted in a low and ruthless voice and quickly hung up. Terrence thought, damn it! Brenton! Why did hee back at this time? Terrence¡¯s face darkened. He suddenly punched the wall out of anger. The clean white wall rustled and dust fell to the ground. The red blood dripped down from Terrence¡¯s fingertips, tainting the floor. The ring on his hand had been taken off, only leaving a ring mark that was barely noticeable. Terrence remained silent for a minute before hepletely calmed himself down. Brynlee secretly hid at the door and watched him. Terrence¡¯s heart melted, and he went up to wrap her waist with his arms. He said, ¡°It¡¯s cold outside. Come in.¡± At this time, Alexa held back her tears and hid in the quilt, trembling slightly. It was very difficult to spend the night alone in a foreign country. Alexa booked the return ticket and stayed awake for the whole night. Early the next morning, Alexa sent a text message to Maeve and then opened the door to set off. ¡°Good morning.¡± The man at the door gave her a shock. Seeing the familiar face, Alexa subconsciously wanted to dodge. But Brenton stood firmly at the door with no intention of stepping back. Alexa had no choice but to close the door. Brenton quickly leaned to block the door and handed the breakfast to Alexa, staring at her sincerely. ¡°I¡¯m not here to bother you. I just want you to try the breakfast I made,¡± Brenton said with a smile. ¡°Three years ago, you said you wanted me to cook for you. I¡¯m really sorry that I can only fulfill my promise now.¡± Hearing this, Alexa looked down at the exquisite food boxes. There was no smile on her face, and the memories of the past were bitter and sad. Brenton, a rich young man, had never cooked, and they didn¡¯t end in happiness. To her surprise, he remembered what she said three years ago. ¡°You don¡¯t have to do this.¡± Alexa had no courage to look up. ¡°It¡¯s over. We should forget it.¡± Before Alexa finished speaking, the smile on Brenton¡¯s face darkened visibly. ¡°Alexa, how can I forget?¡± He seemed to be a little angry, and his tone became a little anxious. ¡°I have only loved you in my life. How can you ask me to forget?¡± ¡°Brenton¡­¡± Alexa mustered the courage to call his name again. Her dry eyes were suddenly filled with tears and turned red. ¡°Why? You¡­ You don¡¯t have to.¡± She thought if he let her go, he could be a better person. This applied to the current situation. Brenton came closer to her. The woman he was missing all day was right in front of him, but he was not allowed to touch her. ¡°If you want, I can immediately take you out of the Ramsey family. We can go wherever you want to ¡êo,¡± After speaking, he suddenlyughed, and his tone became somewhat ruthless. ¡°Of course, I can also gradually destroy everything he has and make him kneel before you.¡± ¡°Brenton!¡± Alexa looked serious and said in a low voice, ¡°Don¡¯t be like this, you¡­¡± ¡°What? You feel sad for him?¡± Alexa didn¡¯t know what to say. The Brenton standing in front of her had indeed changed, making her feel terrible. ¡°Go back. We have nothing to talk about.¡± Alexa said and turned to leave. But Brenton grabbed her wrist and squeezed into the room, pressing her down on the wall. It was quiet for a moment, and there was only the sound of waves outside the window. Seeing the anger on Alexa¡¯s face, Brenton only felt it was harsh. ¡°Why do you pretend to be unfamiliar with me? Why did you forget?¡± Alexa, who was thin, trembled slightly in his arms with rage and fear. Brenton was very handsome, and his pretty features made him elegant. When they were dating, Brenton had never been angry in front of her. His current emotions had indeed frightened Alexa. ¡°Let me go.¡± Alexa pleaded with tears in her eyes. The door was still open, and someone coulde over at any time. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. If this scene was seen, then she would definitely be med by the whole world. ¡°If I let you go, I can¡¯t get you anymore.¡± Brenton was like a madman who had lost his mind and always said something weird. Alexa begged him in fear, but she was too powerless to struggle out of Brenton¡¯s arms. ¡°Brenton, I don¡¯t want to hate you. I really don¡¯t want to hate you¡­ Hearing the word ¡°hate¡±, Brenton suddenly loosened his grip. He looked sad. Alexa seized the opportunity to push him away with all her strength and escape from the room without looking back. Her push caused Brenton to stagger. Looking at the hand that had just touched her, he seemed to laugh with satisfaction. He thought, Alexa, you cannot escape from me. Alexa rushed to the airport, and when she boarded the ne, someone suddenly put a hand on her shoulder. She wondered, does Brenton catch up so quickly? ¡°Let me go.¡± Alexa let out a low growl in panic. She turned around and saw someone in an elegant ck suit. Kieran nodded politely and took his hand away. Alexa looked apologetic about him and said in a low voice. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Dr. Powell¡­¡± Kieran did not ask why. He said gently. ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Chapter 146 Chapter 146 Chapter 146 Ridiculous Self-Esteem Alexa understood and smiled gratefully at him. ¡°Thank you, Dr. Powell. I¡¯ve caused you a lot of trouble recently.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter,¡± Kieran said gently. ¡°You haven¡¯t recovered yet. I should be with you to take care of you.¡± Although Kieran did not say it, Alexa was not stupid. She knew there were no free things in the world, and no one was born to do anything for her. After the nended in New York, Alexa took a taxi straight back to Duckdale Vi. However, what was waiting for her was not Terrence, but Brynlee and her mother. ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this Mrs. Ramsey?¡± Emely sneered sarcastically and red at her fiercely. ¡°How dare you come back? You have been married to Terrence for three years and haven¡¯t even had a baby.¡± ¡°Why are you here? Where is Terrence?¡± Alexa frowned. ¡°I want to see him!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think he will see you again.¡± Brynlee said with a smile and stroked her belly pleasantly. ¡°Because I am pregnant with his baby.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Alexa felt dizzy and hard to stand still. ¡°What did you say?¡± ¡°Alexa, you are no longer qualified to stay here!¡± Emely shouted at Alexa with a ferocious look and then ordered the servants to throw her luggage out. ¡°From today, my daughter will stay here and take care of the baby. You get out!¡± ¡°How is this possible? How could you be pregnant¡­¡± Alexa moved her lips and her throat hurt so much. Brynlee got up and walked towards her gracefully. Looking at Alexa, who had been cherished by Terrence for so many years, Brynlee only had a deep hatred for her. ¡°You bitch. I won¡¯t let you have Terrence!¡± Brynlee¡¯s eyes were red, and she clenched her teeth and pped Alexa. Alexa did not intend to dodge at all. This big p made her head buzz. She even became more conscious at that moment. ¡°You want to be Mrs. Ramsey, right?¡± Alexa smiled bitterly. ¡°I¡¯ve already prepared the divorce agreement. Ask Terrence to sign it.¡± ¡°Where is it? Give me now!¡± ¡°On the bedside table in the first room upstairs. As long as he signs it, my marriage with him will be over.¡± Alexa said coldly. She picked up her luggage and turned to leave. She never expected that it would end so quickly and inexplicably. It was like the day she married Terrence. Now that Brynlee was pregnant, Terrence had called her back so angrily. She thought he must have wanted to drive her away personally. She thought, it¡¯s not bad. At least I keep some ridiculous self-esteem. In the vi, Emely rushed to Alexa¡¯s room to rummage through the boxes and cabs and indeed found the divorce agreement. Alexa had even signed it. ¡°She didn¡¯t ask for money?¡± Emely asked doubtfully, ¡°Is she ying a trick?¡± Brynlee sneered viciously and sarcastically. La ¡°She doesn¡¯t deserve Terrence¡¯s money either. These things should have been mine!¡± Alexa walked down the mountain with the luggage. After looking for a couple of hours, she finally rented an apartment at a reasonable price. It was an old apartment without any furniture. She even had to get the hot water from the public water stove downstairs. Other than a wooden bed and a narrow toilet, the rest were all cement walls. Alexa did notin at all. It was herself that got her into this situation. The remaining money she got from selling her design drafts was less than 320 dors. And today was thest day of her treatment. What she faced was arge sum of medical expenses and an uncertain death. Alexa really hoped that she could fall asleep in a beautiful dream. There would be no pain and no cost. There was still a week before spring came to New York, and it got dark early. She went downstairs to buy some instant food. After eating, shey on the bed in a daze. The bed was very hard, making her hurt so much. But her nerves were numb as if something was quietly dying. For some reason, Alexa picked up her phone and checked it, and she didn¡¯t receive anyone¡¯s phone call or text message. For her, the winter in New York had just begun. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. At this time, Terrence, who was abroad, finally finished his work. On the way back to the hotel, he took out his phone and found the familiar number. His finger lingered on the screen for a long time without pressing it. He thought she must still be angry at his threatening tone today. At the thought of Alexa being furious but not daring to vent her anger in front of him, a faint smile appeared on Terrence¡¯s cold face. Not long after, Terrence received an anonymous text message. It was a picture, and the angle of the shot was very tricky. But he could easily recognize the figures. It was Brenton, and the woman he held down was Alexa! Terrence instantly froze, and there was a murderous look on his face that he had never shown before. He was most afraid that his fear would be reality, and now it had done! At this moment, Terrence pressed the number without hesitation. But no matter how many times he tried, he was always told that the phone number didn¡¯t exist. He wondered, could it be that Alexa had never returned? Terrence angrily threw his phone out. His face darkened. He thought, how could she dare to escape with other men? We have not divorced yet! The night in New York was peaceful. Alexa tossed and turned for a long time before finally falling asleep. She didn¡¯t know something would happen. After receiving news from Terrence, Kieran also began to look for her. He thought, she was clearly fine this morning. Why is she not here at night? Could it be that she left the city? The entire New York was under the control of several wealthy families. If Alexa wanted to escape from Terrence or Brenton, she could only secretly run out of the city. Kieran could not wait at all and immediately ran into the garage to get his car. Unexpectedly, just as he drove away from his ce, he suddenly ran into a Bentley car. Brenton rushed out of the car and asked Kieran with a gloomy face. ¡°Is Alexa here with you? Where did you hide her?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to pretend to be good now!¡± Kieran replied furiously and pushed open the door to get out of the car. Brenton didn¡¯t like Terrence, and he disliked Kieran either. As they didn¡¯t get along, they suddenly started to fight. ¡°Stop interfering with us!¡± Brenton roared hysterically and punched Kieran fiercely. ¡°Brenton, you have no right to say the word, us!¡± Kieran, who was always gentle, became fierce when he fought. They fought for a long time and both got injured. No one seeded. ¡°Kieran, aren¡¯t you the same as Terrence?¡± Brenton directly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and sneered. ¡°You two are jerks!¡± Chapter 147 Chapter 147 Chapter 147 A Pet and Her Owner ¡°Brenton, do you think it¡¯s your ce to lecture me?¡± Kieran asked with a rare harsh tone. ¡°Do you really know her and care about her? Who do you think you are topete with me?¡± Brenton and Kieran were aggressive toward each other like a pair of trapped beasts. Despite their slightly pulling apart from each other, the tension between them kept building up. ¡°Kieran, if you were able to deal with Terrence, you would not have said such nonsense in front of me.¡± Brenton thought he had seen things through, hence his disdain for Kieran, a character that was too humble to take seriously. Terrence, however, was not like Kieran. Terrence said that he did not love Alexa, and yet he kept Alexa around him for three years. How despicable of Terrence! Then Brenton brushed aside Kieran and returned to his car gloomily. Soon, his luxury car, a Bentley, roared loudly and left in an instant. This night was not a peaceful night in New York. The street where Alexa lived didn¡¯t belong to a high-end residential area. Due to that, it was usually quite chaotic at night. Alexa thought, it must be some lush who is causing chaos now. By thinking that way, Alexa tried to make herself get used to living where she was. However, after a brief pause, a noise sounded again. But this time, it wasn¡¯t from downstairs, from her door. Someone had kicked open her door bluntly. but Hearing the loud bang, Alexa was so scared that she was almost reduced to tears, with her heart jolting. And before she could turn on the light, a tall figure brushed past the house in the dark to her and grabbed her neck urately. Sensing the familiar coldness, Alexa became pale all at once, looking even more frightened. ¡°You¡­ Let go¡­ The figure sneered coldly while tightening his grip. ¡°I thought you had seen thising before you ran away!¡± 1/4 ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Alexa pped his wrist in panic, thinking, he¡¯s so furious now. That means he might really strangle me to death. ¡°Well, why don¡¯t you tell me who you want to elope with?¡± Terrence enunciated each word with intense hatred, ¡°Is it Kieran, Brenton, or someone else that I don¡¯t know?¡± ¡°None¡­¡± Hearing her voice, which suggested she was in pain, Terrence curved his lips gently and revealed a cruel and cold smile. ¡°Finally, you¡¯re afraid. But what¡¯s the use of being afraid?¡± Since the light was off, Alexa failed to see how terrible Terrence looked at the moment. Then after a pause, Terrence pressed Alexa onto the bed decisively before slumping on top of Alexa¡¯s slender body. Noticing that Terrence had loosened his grip, Alexa, with tears on her face, said in horror with a lump in her throat. ¡°Didn¡¯t I already sign the paper? What else do you want from me?¡± Hearing her retort, Terrence got even angrier. ¡°Signing the paper? Do you think you¡¯ve got a say in our marriage?¡± ¡°Terrence, you bastard! I don¡¯t want to see you. Get lost!¡± ¡°Heh¡­¡± Content held by N?velDrama.Org. Terrence pulled off his tie violently and tied Alexa¡¯s hands to the bed as if he had lost his mind. ¡°Alexa, am I being too lenient with you? How dare you talk to me this way! Huh?¡± ¡°Get lost!¡± Alexa was so angry that her pale little face flushed. She scoured for words to curse Terrence as fiercely as she could, but secondster, Terrence¡¯s warm lips had been pressed against hers. Just like that, Terrence started toe to Alexa like crazy until dawn. After a long night, Alexa copsed weakly on the bed. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Terrence wearing clothes with his back to her. Feeling that her entire body was about to fall apart, Alexa had no strength to speak at all. Terrence, on the other hand, tidied himself up, got up, and looked down at Alexa, who was lying on the bed. ¡°When are youing back?¡± But Alexa didn¡¯t reply. Instead, she pulled the thin quilt to wrap herself up before turning aside and continuing to lie quietly. The sheets on which she was lying were blood-stained. Terrence nced at them a bit before looking away stiffly, his eyes sluggish. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, you must be mistaken.¡± Alexa tried hard to retain herposure and said, aloof, ¡°We¡¯d already divorced yesterday. Why should I go back with you?¡± ¡°Alexa¡­¡± ¡°We are adults. What happenedst night didn¡¯t mean anything.¡± Terrence thought, didn¡¯t mean anything? That is so disgusting! Then he got worked up again and sneered angrily. ¡°Are you saying that you could do such a thing with just any random guy?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Alexa replied calmly without any retorts. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, if you feel apologetic about it, you can pay. Broken like a tattered doll, Alexa did not even care about herself, not to mention how Terrence was feeling now. The air in the room became even stiller and more terrifying now. Terrence gritted his teeth and sneered, with his face gloomy beyond measure. ¡°Alexa, way to go!¡± He made a check out with a whoosh and threw it to Alexa contemptuously. ¡°Being that awful in bed and equally unpleasant and unattractive, you really aren¡¯t worth that much.¡± Terrence¡¯s words, which were cold and snide, came at Alexa as if they were knives. Alexa pped her eyshes slightly, her eyes stinging but tearless as if she had run out of tears. ¡°Come back to Duckdale Vi today, or you will bear the consequences.¡± Terrence threatened her maliciously and walked to the door in a quick step. Alexa moved her lips. A bloody smell soon filled her mouth. ¡°Terrence, you really disgust me¡­¡¯ Hearing Alexa¡¯s voice, which was hoarse and dry, Terrence smiled coldly and turned around. nonchntly. ¡°Oh, so what?¡± He was certain that Alexa had no one else to rely on. Therefore, he was not afraid of her escaping at all. It was impossible for her to escape from his grasp whatsoever. In Terrence¡¯s eyes, their rtionship was just like one between a pet and her owner. After Terrence left, Alexay on the bed for a long time. Then she got up from the bed slowly after having built up her strength a bit. Every movement she made, she ached so much that tears welled up in her eyes as if her body was to explode. Then she picked up the check. Noticing that it was a check for 16 thousand dors, she sneered and crushed it before throwing it into the trash can. Alexa thought, how generous of him! Terrence must think he is very powerful due to all the money he owns. Then Alexa, with her hand covering her heart, moved into the bathroom, washed herself up briefly, changed her clothes, and went out. But she wasn¡¯t going back to Duckdale Vi. Instead, she was heading toward somewhere nearby. Now that she was still able to take care of herself, she had to find a job and make a living. That way, she could at least survive. The moment Alexa left the building where she lived, a professional bodyguard followed her right. away while giving a real-time report to Terrence. Terrence had just returned to Duckdale Vi. Knowing that Alexa was looking for a job in her community now, he sneered indifferently. He thought, it seems that Alexa doesn¡¯t take me seriously. How na?ve! After talking to the bodyguard, Terrence entered the living room. Brynlee and Emely did not expect him toe back now, hence a state of shock. But Terrence brushed them aside. Then he noticed the linen bags on the ground. ¡°What is this?¡± Chapter 148 Chapter 148 Chapter 148 Don¡¯t Appear in Front of Me Again Noticing that Terrence cared about the bag but not her, Brynlee, displeased, covered her lower abdomen and curled her lips. Meanwhile, Emely smiled proudly while saying, ¡°Terrence, I have invited an expert over. ¡°The expert said that there is something sinister in the house and that it will do Brynlee harm.¡± ¡°Something sinister?¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes turned cold as he went forward to open the bag. It turned out that the bag was full of Alexa¡¯s clothes. Moreover, the other stuff that Alexa had used was taken away as well. Terrence fixed the stuff in front of him with a cold stare while sending a chill all around. Emely did not realize that she had provoked Terrence. Instead, she kept speaking ill of Alexa. ¡°Despite knowing that Brynlee was pregnant, she hit Brynlee. What a shameless bitch!¡± ¡°Put all the stuff back,¡± Terrence said lightly. ire, who was standing at the side, hurried to take all the servants forward and put Alexa¡¯s things back as fast as they could. In their eyes, only Alexa was Mrs. Ramsey. Moreover, Alexa outstripped Brynlee greatly in terms of personality. It perplexed them a lot that Terrence should choose Brynlee over Alexa. Meanwhile, Emely didn¡¯t expect that Terrence would go against her like this in front of all the servants! ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Emely¡¯s face turned from smug to awful. ¡°What do you mean? Do you mean that we just sit back and watch that bitch do harm to Brynlee?¡± Hearing Emely call Alexa a bitch, Terrence got worked up. ¡°The matter between her and me is none of your business.¡± ¡°Terrence, Brynlee is pregnant with your child. How is it that it¡¯s none of my business?¡± Emely kept pressing Terrence, but Terrence did not intend to pay attention to her. Instead, he turned around and walked right upstairs. ¡°Terrence.¡± Obtenga bonos Brynlee spoke in a delicate voice, stood up, and stuck out her belly deliberately, trying to remind Terrence that she was pregnant. ¡°My mother is just defending me. Don¡¯t be angry. I apologize for what she did.¡± ¡°Why did you move in?¡± Terrence asked coldly. ¡°And why did Alexa leave?¡± Brynlee thought, Alexa! Alexa! Why is the bitch still alive! Brynlee, looking nearly in tears, threw her arms around his arm weakly. ¡°My doctor told me that I need to be more cautious during pregnancy so as to protect the baby. And I know this is the safest ce I could be. That¡¯s why I¡¯m here.¡± But despite Brynlee mentioning the child again, Terrence remained calm. Then he looked quietly at Brynlee¡¯s belly, which was not bulging at all. Sensing his gaze, which was deep and enigmatic, Brynlee felt afraid for no reason. But she knew there was no way out. ¡°I can feel fetal movement in two months. Terrence, I really feel so happy about that.¡± Brynlee stroked her belly gently with a smile. Terrence pursed his lips tightly but soon his face softened. Two days ago, Brynlee sent him a report, telling him that she was pregnant. Due to that, that night, Terrence left without telling Alexa. Worse still, the offshore branchpany reported a serious business crisis to him as well. Terrence was so caught up that he failed to exin to Alexa what had happened between Brynlee and him. Plus, his rtionship with Alexa was in such a stalemate now. There was no way Alexa would listen. to Terrence. At the thought of Alexa, Terrence felt his heart aching again. Meanwhile, Brynlee leaned obediently beside him and said softly, ¡°Terrence, Alexa has signed the divorce paper. ¡°As long as you sign it as well, what between you two will stop haunting you.¡¯ ¡°Well, about that¡­¡± ¡°Terrence.¡± Emely interrupted in dissatisfaction. ¡°You can¡¯t postpone the divorce anymore. People will talk if they know about Brynlee having your child while you¡¯re still married to someone else. I mean, she just started out in her career¡­¡± ¡°Mom¡­¡± Brynlee stopped her with a serious face before looking at Terrence with a wronged expression. ¡°Terrence, I don¡¯t care about that. As long as I am with you, I will be satisfied.¡± Noticing that Terrence was unmoved, Brynlee continued, trying to humble Alexa with her generosity. Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. ¡°If you love her, I don¡¯t minding second to her.¡± ¡°It¡¯s all in your mind. I would never love her.¡± Terrence¡¯s tone was cold. ¡°Just stay here and take care of the child. As for her, I won¡¯t let her appear in front of you. ¡°Terrence, I¡¯m so lucky to have you.¡± And as Brynlee leaned in his arms with tears in her eyes, looking rather pitiful, a cold light shed across her face. Brynlee thought, he won¡¯t let Alexa show up in front of me, but that doesn¡¯t mean that the bitch will not seduce Terrence. I have worked so hard to make Terrence divorce her. Therefore, I would never allow the bitch to get in my way again! Then Terrence returned to his study, where he called Edwin. ¡°Any update on the investigation?¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Ms. Walton¡¯s medical record in St. Paolo Hospital did show that she is eight-week pregnant now. It fits since you stayed with her at the Caiden Hotel two months ago.¡± But Terrence, seemingly distracted, asked bluntly after Edwin¡¯s words. ¡°What is Alexa doing now?¡± Edwin took a deep breath, thinking, I didn¡¯t see thating. Then Edwin answered carefully, ¡°Mrs. Ramsey is still looking for a job.¡± *Heh¡­¡± Terrence sneered gloomily, which shocked Edwin greatly. Edwin thought, were they still lovey-dovey a while before? Howe they are hostile toward each other now? ¡°Go find her,¡± Terrence ordered coldly. ¡°But don¡¯t say it¡¯s my idea.¡± ¡°Okay, Mr. Ramsey.¡± + ¡°It¡¯s fine if she doesn¡¯t want toe back. It has nothing to do with me anyway.¡± ¡°Okay, Mr. Ramsey.¡± Then Terrence pondered for a moment and added through gritted teeth. ¡°If she really doesn¡¯t feel likeing back, just tie her up.¡± ¡°Okay, Mr. Ramsey¡­¡± After hanging up the phone, Terrence, still angry, shoved the neatly folded documents aside. What Alexa did perplexed him. Terrence thought, obviously, I am the master, the leader of the game. But howe it¡¯s me who needs to be subservient now? Edwin, on the other hand, was weighed down by Terrence¡¯s anger. After taking the order, Edwin led some people to Alexa¡¯s ce right away and waited there for her. Not long after, Alexa was back in a good mood with a few bags of vegetables she had just bought.¡± Edwin rushed forward right off as if he had seen a savior. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey.¡± Alexa¡¯s face turned pale instantly. She even took two steps back vigntly. ¡°Edwin, why are you here?¡± Noticing that Alexa was wary, Edwin hurried to sound more friendly. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, it has been cold recently. You will catch a cold living here¡­¡± ¡°No,¡± Alexa said firmly in a faint voice. ¡°Terrence and I have already divorced. There is no way I¡¯ll go back.¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey¡­¡± C ¡°Please send a message to him. Don¡¯t appear before me again unnecessarily.¡± Chapter 149 Chapter 149 Chapter 149 Use Keyon to Trick Her Edwin gasped. Even if he had a lot of guts, he dared not speak to Terrence like this. However, Edwin could not afford to offend Alexa even more. Seeing Edwin standing in a daze, looking torn, Alexa still did not soften up a little. Even if Alexa had mercy on Terrence, no one would pity her. ¡°That¡¯s it. Goodbye.¡± With that, Alexa walked briskly upstairs. Edwin did not dare to really ask someone to tie Alexa up, so he could only stand downstairs with a large group of bodyguards. Alexa nced downstairs at the stairwell and finally turned to leave without a care. No matter how reckless Terrence was, Alexa had to totally cut herself out of his life. From now on, it was best for them to just be strangers. After returning to the apartment she rented, Alexa swallowed a bag of pain relief powder. This medicine was simply useless to her, but there was no other choice at the moment. And Alexa did not intend to continue receiving treatment. The medicine was very sleep-inducing. Alexay in bed for a while, and when she opened her eyes again, it was already early in the evening. The mobile phone, which had been quiet for a long time, vibrated again. All 12 missed calls were from Terrence. ¡°Hello?¡± ¡°Alexa, are you deaf?¡± The person on the other side of the line asked in a displeased tone, whose yelling was earsplitting. ¡°What do you want?¡± Alexa spoke in a calm tone, not taking Terrence seriously at all. ¡°How long has it been since west saw each other? You sound like you¡¯ve got a lot more nerve.¡± Terrence sneered, wishing he could go through the screen and kidnap Alexa right now. ¡°Haven¡¯t you been looking for Keyon? I have thetest information. Do you want to see it?¡± ¡°Terrence, don¡¯t joke with me!¡± Alexa¡¯s heart was in her mouth, and she sounded so nervous that it seemed like she could be out of breath at any time. Terrence sneered indifferently and faintly replied. ¡°Caiden Hotel, Room 1099. Eight o¡¯clock tonight. If you don¡¯te, don¡¯te to beg me in the future.¡± Terrence didn¡¯t give Alexa a chance to react at all. After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Alexa was stunned for a long time. Something in her heart suddenly came to life, emitting a faint light. Seeing that it was already 7:30, Alexa immediately ran out. No matter how terrible Terrence was, this was too low even for him to deceive Alexa using her brother. Alexa did not even take a taxi but rushed all the way to Caiden Hotel. When she arrived in front of the room Terrence said to be, Alexa took a few deep breaths and pressed the doorbell nervously. Alexa wondered if she was about to meet her brother, where he had been these past few years, how he had been, and whether they were really getting reunited as each other¡¯s only family in the world. The door cracked open. Terrence was wearing a ck nightgown. His smiling eyes sized Alexa up in an instant. ¡°Come in,¡± he said slowly. When Alexa saw Terrence, her excited face instantly turned a little defensive. Alexa gripped the canvas bag on her shoulder and carefully walked into the luxurious presidential suite under Terrence¡¯s gaze. Alexa felt strange meeting someone in such a ce. ¡°Have you signed the divorce agreement? When will we go get the divorce final?¡± Alexa asked emotionlessly, bracing herself up, ¡°You said you have news of my brother. What does that mean?¡± Terrence closed the door behind him andughed softly for no reason behind Alexa. ¡°Why should I tell you? What good does it do me?¡± ¡°Terrence, you¡­¡± Alexa choked on her words and looked at Terrence indignantly. ¡°You want me to sign the paper and do my best to find Keyon for you. This isn¡¯t fair, is it, Alexa?¡± Alexa sneered in her heart, so it really is a scam. Terrence, you bastard, you actually used my brother to trick me! The glimmer of hope that Alexa had managed to seize with great difficulty was gone, and there was nothing she could do to help. ¡°Then we have nothing to talk about.¡± Alexa tried hard to restrain her emotions. ¡°When it¡¯s convenient for you, Mr. Ramsey, we will go make the divorce final¡­¡± Before Alexa finished speaking, Terrence suddenly leaned forward and fiercely kissed her soft lips. Alexa had long lost her patience, with only endless disgust left. ¡°Go away¡­ ¡± Terrence turned a deaf ear and nibbled the side of Alexa¡¯s neck. ¡°Alexa, I have only been gone for a while, and you are already causing trouble for me?¡± ¡°Go away, don¡¯t touch me¡­¡± Alexa¡¯s voice became weaker and weaker, the salty tears flowed down her face as she felt desperate. When Terrence kissed the tears, he suddenly seemed toe back to his senses, and he gradually became gentle. But in the end, he just stood up indifferently and raised his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you could be with anyone as long as they gave you money?¡± ¡°Terrence¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s not good to go back on your word.¡± Alexa lowered her head with tears in her eyes as if the sky had fallen down. ¡°Then what do you want? You can kill me if you want.¡± Hearing her say such extreme words, Terrence frowned in disgust and pointed to the kraft bag on the coffee table. ¡°What¡¯s inside is the information I just got. If you want to take a look, you can at any time.¡± After the lesson just now, Alexa was no longer willing to believe Terrence. Alexa tidied herself up with trembling hands, and she was utterly dissipated as she lowered her head and stared at the ground. ¡°No, thanks.¡± Alexa slowly spoke up with thest of her self-esteem, ¡°I will just regard him¡­ as already¡­¡± Terrence looked at Alexa¡¯s determined look and sneered with a gloomy face. ¡°Alexa, you are really good. I have never seen anyone more disgusting than you.¡± ¡°Well, you are right.¡± Alexa said lightly and walked to the door in a daze. Terrence gritted his teeth and strode forward in an instant. He directly grabbed Alexa¡¯s slender waist and threw her onto the bed. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! Alexa subconsciously raised her hand to block the dazzling light and vaguely saw Terrence pulling off his clothes. In the blink of an eye, his hot and strong body pressed down on Alexa fiercely. After the night¡­ When she woke up the next morning, Alexa could not believe that she was still alive. She was still in the presidential suite, but Terrence had disappeared. Alexa did not even feel like crying. After a quick shower, Alexa put on the clothes fromst night and quietly left the room. Along the way, everyone looked at her strangely and disdainfully. Alexa felt the pain in her neck and raised her hand to cover it. She didn¡¯t need anyone to remind her. Alexa also felt that she was quite cheap. She walked to the bus stop not far away. A Maybach suddenly stopped in front of her. Edwin respectfully got out of the car and opened the door. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, Mr. Ramsey asked me to drive you home,¡± said Edwin politely. This time, Alexa did not refuse and just got in the car. ¡°Edwin, please take me back to my ce.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Edwin agreed, but there was guilt in his eyes. Not long after, the car stopped in front of a brand-new vi. Chapter 150 Chapter 150 Chapter 150 You Are Not Qualified to Comment ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, Mr. Ramsey asked me to¡­¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa calmly said and pushed the door open to get out of the car. She did not want to make things difficult for Edwin, not to mention that Edwin just did what Terrence wanted him to do. Alexa took a few steps forward, and the servants immediately came out in a line and stood in front of her. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, please.¡± ¡°I am not your Mrs. Ramsey.¡± Alexa smiled faintly. ¡°What is Mr. Ramsey doing again?¡± ¡°Nice to meet you, Mrs. Ramsey. I am the butler here, Bryson Warner.¡± An old man bowed to Alexa politely. ¡°This house is the gift Mr. Ramsey gave to you.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t need it,¡± Alexa put on a fake smile and said, ¡°Please contact Terrence for me, Mr. Warner. I will tell him personally.¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, Mr. Ramsey went to a subsidiarypany abroad for a business trip. He will return in three days.¡± In this wild suburb, Alexa could escape to nowhere even if she wanted to. After weighing the pros and cons, Alexa followed the butler into the house. However, when Alexa entered the room, the butler suddenly added. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, ording to Mr. Ramsey, you will live here from now on. You cannot go to other ces.¡± Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! ¡°What?¡± Alexa was so scared that her face turned pale. She rushed to the door recklessly. Wasn¡¯t this imprisonment? However, before she could reach the door, a row of well-trained bodyguards quietly appeared and blocked her way. ¡°Let me out. I want to go back to my own home.¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, this is your home.¡± . ¡°No!¡± Alexa shouted emotionally, ¡°Terrence is illegally detaining me. I want to go to court to sue Bryson ignored Alexa and calmly ordered. ¡°Take Mrs. Ramsey back to her room to rest.¡± Alexa looked at the people in front of her and immediately understood the current situation. Did Terrence want her to be grounded here? ¡°I want to see Terrence. I want to see him now.¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, I will convey your orders urately.¡± Bryson spoke calmly and waved his hand slightly. The servants immediately took Alexa away. Alexa wondered if Terrence had any special perverted hobbies. The decoration of this room was exactly the same as that of Duckdale Vi. In the blink of an eye, Alexa had an illusion that she was living as usual. However, the fact was that Brynlee was pregnant, and Terrence secretly imprisoned her there. Time passed, and when Terrence returned, the butler had just taken away the cold lunch at the door. of the room. ¡°How is she?¡± Terrence asked straight to the point, threw away his coat, and went upstairs. His pace was obviously fast, but he hid his emotions very well. 1 ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Mrs. Ramsey has already stopped eating for two days. She only drank a little water.¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± Terrence sneered and directly opened the door with the key. Since Alexa wanted to see him, Terrence worked hard for two days and nights sleeplessly, and he boarded the ne without closing his eyes. Unexpectedly, Alexa was waiting for him with such a surprise. The light in the room was very dim, and it was quiet as if no one had been living there. The curtains were tightly closed, and the gloomy light faintly prated through, making the figure on the bed appear even more lonely. Alexa held his knees and sat motionless in the corner of the big bed like a puppet. 3 Terrence stood at the foot of the bed and looked at her. His deep eyes could not help but be filled with softness. ¡°I heard that you don¡¯t want to eat.¡± Alexa seemed as if she hadn¡¯t heard him at all. Her long hair fell down gently, fully covering her silent side profile. Terrence leisurely crossed his long legs and sat on the sofa at the side. He said calmly. ¡°It¡¯s not a good way to threaten me by seeking death. After all, Keyon¡¯s situation is not better than yours.¡± Seeing Alexa¡¯s thin arm move slightly, Terrence casually put on a cold smile. ¡°Kieran and Brenton are still looking for you. They are really reckless.¡± ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Alexa¡¯s lungs seemed to be leaking air. Her voice was hoarse. ¡°Why are you so disgusting?¡± ¡°Am I disgusting?¡± Terrence secretly gritted his teeth and cruelly ridiculed, ¡°Don¡¯t you feel disgusted that Kieran hooked up with a married woman? Brenton still can¡¯t forget you, and are you still grateful to him?¡± Terrence aggressively mentioned the past, forcing Alexa to be speechless. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to listen to me after I talk to you politely, then I don¡¯t mind using other methods. to make you remember my my words.¡± Alexa instantly understood Terrence¡¯s meaning and hugged herself tighter in fear. The injuries on her body were still hurting, showing Terrence¡¯s crimes all the time. ¡°Come out. Let¡¯s eat.¡± Terrence impatiently ordered, and Alexa slowly made a move. However, she was not in good health. Just as her feet touched the ground, Alexa¡¯s body suddenly went soft, and she fell to the ground in a very embarrassing state. Terrence slowly approached indifferently, looking at how Alexa held the edge of the bed and climbed up. ¡°Do you admit your mistake?¡± Alexa clenched his teeth and stubbornly lowered her head to stare at the ground. Terrence bent down in a noble manner and suddenly grabbed her hair, forcing Alexa to raise her head. ¡°I¡¯m talking to you. Can¡¯t you hear me?¡± ¡°When are you going to divorce me?¡± Alexa asked without fear. ¡°Today, or tomorrow?¡± There was a faint flicker of fire in Terrence¡¯s gloomy eyes, and it was obvious that he was extremely angry with Alexa. ¡°No way.¡± Alexa let out a softugh. There was no light in her dark eyes. ¡°Brynlee is already pregnant. Why don¡¯t you let her be Mrs. Ramsey? I really look down on you.¡± ¡°You are not qualified toment on us.¡± ¡°Terrence¡­¡± ¡°If you say one more word, I will cut off your tongue.¡± Terrence said coldly, smiling extremely sickly. Alexa knew that whatever she said would be useless, and she did not speak again. ¡°Can¡¯t you just be a little more obedient?¡± Terrence teased her yfully, then carried her and walked all the way to the living room. The dining table was already prepared with a sumptuous meal, and all the servants had already left, leaving only them. Alexa looked at the various dishes. Not only did she have no appetite, she even felt a little nauseous. However, Terrence sat down directly next to her, scooped up a spoonful of vegetable soup, and handed it to her mouth. Alexa did not open her mouth for a long time, and she could clearly feel that Terrence¡¯s aura had be colder and colder. ¡°I¡¯m not hungry,¡± Alexa said softly. ¡°Do you really want to die?¡± Terrence retorted rudely, ¡°You haven¡¯t eaten for so many days. Do you think I will give in?¡± ¡°No.¡± Alexa weakly exined, ¡°I just¡­¡± ng¡­ Terrence pressed the bowl on the table with a cold face. More than half of the hot soup sshed out, and Alexa¡¯s heart became even colder. She trembled slightly, obviously frightened. Terrence did not say a word and directly got up and left. 880 4 Chapter 151 Chapter 151 Chapter 151 You Hide a Lot From Me A momentter, Terrence mmed the door upstairs. Alexa felt as if a piece of flesh had been cut off from her heart, and it hurt so much. She looked at the bowl of vegetable soup that had been spilled by Terrence and tried her best to endure the ufortable feeling of nausea. She picked up the bowl and drank it all. To her, eating was simply torturing. Every time Alexa ate something, her stomach would instantly feel a dull pain that made Alexa break out in a cold sweat. But even so, Alexa still held her fork tightly and carefully ate the cold dishes. Alexa did not know how many more days she could live, but she did not want to die in this kind of ce. Not long after, there was another movement in the corridor behind her. Before Alexa put down her fork, Terrence stood behind her and handed his phone over without saying a word. Seeing that the call was from his mom, Alexa immediately adjusted her mood and picked up the phone. Even if Terrence stood behind her coldly, Alexa still let out a sweet smile and chatted with Rebekah as if no one else was around. Hearing Alexa¡¯s sweet and gentle voice, Terrence suddenly felt a slight tingling pain in his heart. Alexa could act like this in front of anyone, but in front of him, she always looked frustrated. When Alexa was talking on the phone, the smile on her face suddenly paused, and her tone became. a little stiff. ¡°Terrence¡­ and ¡­ We have been pretty good recently.¡± Forced to say those words intimately, Alexa felt disgusted, and she could not imagine what kind of expression Terrence would have. Ten minutester, Alexa carefully returned the phone to Terrence. ¡°Your parents are nning to go abroad,¡± Alexa said in a stiff tone, ¡°They wille back in two years.¡± Terrence pursed his thin lips, and his face was extremely gloomy. He wondered, so, what is she going to say? My parents will be abroad for two years. Does she want to seize the opportunity to divorce? Thinking of the divorce, Terrence looked extremely cold with a sullen look. ¡°What does it have to do with you?¡± Terrence asked coldly and mercilessly, ¡°It¡¯s none of your business.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Alexa said indifferently, ¡°I just want to tell you about it.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t need to say it.¡± Terrence seemed to be annoyed. Every time Alexa said a word, his tone would be more impatient. ¡°While mom and dad are abroad for these two years, don¡¯t have any evil ideas.¡± ¡°What evil ideas do I have?¡± Content held by N?velDrama.Org. Alexa was confused, but Terrence just nced at her with great disdain. ¡°Don¡¯t let me know about your secret lovers.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t exin if you want to think this way.¡± Alexa shrugged nonchntly, not caring about the tension in the air. Terrence gritted his teeth and the hostility around him grew stronger. He was just about to retort when Alexa suddenly covered her mouth and ran to the bathroom with a pale face. Terrence quickly followed and immediately saw Alexa standing in front of the washstand, vomiting all the food she had just eaten. ¡°Alexa, are you okay?¡± Terrence asked with a serious face. He was about to go forward to help her smooth her breath, but Alexa stubbornly waved her hand. ¡°Don¡¯t get close to me¡­¡± Alexa hadn¡¯t eaten anything for a long time, and there was only gastric juice left when she retched. She was so weak that she couldn¡¯t stand steadily with her legs. Terrence left for a while and soon came back with a cup of warm water. He gently patted Alexa¡¯s back. After her breathing calmed down, he held the cup and let her drink a few mouthfuls of warm water. ¡°I told you to take care of your stomach. Why didn¡¯t you listen to me?¡± Terrence frowned and muttered, but he had no intention of ming her. ¡°David will be here soon. Drink some warm water.¡± Terrence busied himself with dealing with the mess for Alexa. The person who usually treated her badly now showed patience and gentleness that he had never had before. Alexa even suspected that she had an illusion after vomiting. She sipped the warm water. Terrence suddenly stood behind her and asked coldly. ¡°Are you pregnant?¡± Hearing his words, Alexa coughed violently. Alexa put down the cup in a panic, covered her mouth, and coughed violently again. After she calmed down, Terrence still stood behind her, his eyes locked on her with mixed feelings. ¡°No,¡± Alexa said firmly, her expression bing strange. ¡°That¡¯s absolutely impossible.¡± ¡°Fine¡­¡± Terrence chuckled in a calm tone with an unclear meaning and said lightly, ¡°I hope so. Don¡¯t cause trouble for me.¡± Every word he said was extremely harsh, and Alexa¡¯s heart had long been numb with pain. ¡°Don¡¯t think too much about it.¡± Alexa forced out an indifferent smile. ¡°My child definitely has nothing to do with you, Mr. Ramsey.¡± When Terrence heard this, his eyes suddenly became cold, and the aura around him instantly became tense. Alexa turned a blind eye and forced herself to leave the bathroom. Half an hourter, David rushed into the living room. ¡°Alexa, I haven¡¯t seen you for a long time.¡± David greeted Alexa with a smile. Terrence¡¯s deep gaze pierced David over with a strong warning. ¡°Hello, Dr. Cooper.¡± Alexa smiled calmly and nodded at David in a friendly manner. Seeing that Alexa and Terrence were far away from each other, David immediately guessed that they must have had some kind of disagreement. ¡°What happened, Alexa? Did Terrence not take good care of you?¡± ¡°David,¡± Terrence said darkly with a cold face. ¡°Hurry up and see what medicine she should take.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± David looked at Alexa with a subtle expression and skillfully observed her. ¡°Alexa, have you been taking medicine recently?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Alexa said calmly. ¡°I¡¯m recuperating.¡± ¡°I see.¡± David nodded in understanding, but Terrence became more suspicious. ¡°What medicine are you taking to recuperate?¡± Terrence asked coldly. ¡°Why haven¡¯t you told me?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not a big problem,¡± Alexa said indifferently. ¡°You don¡¯t need to know.¡± ¡°What do you mean by saying ¡®I don¡¯t need to know¡¯?¡± Terrence asked in an annoying tone. ¡°You hide a lot from me.¡± Seeing that something was wrong, David quickly mediated the dispute. ¡°I¡¯m still checking. Please quiet down.¡± Alexa had always been quiet. Terrence gritted his teeth with a livid expression and was so angry that he did not say another word. David already knew about Alexa¡¯s disance. He confidently wrote down the medical record and p Alexa some medicine for a cold. When he left, David said with a deeper meaning. gave ¡°In fact, the most important thing is to maintain a happy mood. Happiness is the best medicine.¡± ¡°I understand, Dr. Cooper.¡± After David left, Terrence immediately brought a cup of warm water and said with a cold face. ¡°Take the medicine.¡± Alexa swallowed the pills in front of him. Terrence suddenly received a message from David. ¡°I remember that Kieran specializes in cardiovascr treatment, right?¡± Chapter 152 Chapter 152 Chapter 152 There Are Many Romantic Secrets Terrence looked at the short message. His deep gaze sank without a trace. Alexa was drinking water and didn¡¯t notice anything strange. ¡°I¡¯ll take you to the hospital to have a checkup.¡± Terrence grabbed Alexa¡¯s wrist to pull her. ¡°I¡¯m not going.¡± Alexa resisted subconsciously. ¡°Let me go!¡± Terrence said, ¡°Alexa, have you been lying to me?¡± ¡°What?¡± Terrence asked, ¡°Why did you go to see Kieran?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Alexa choked her words and did not know how to answer him. The atmosphere gradually froze. When they were in a stalemate, Terrence¡¯s phone on the table suddenly rang. He nced at the screen and immediately picked up his phone and walked into the yard. Alexa looked at Terrence¡¯s back. All her strength was instantly exhausted. Her legs went weak, and she fell onto the sofa. Alexa thought, Terrence already knew it? Would he go and check? Terrence soon came back and hurriedly took off the coat on the clothes rack. ¡°Are you going out?¡± Alexa asked in a hoarse voice. ¡°Yes,¡± Terrence replied indifferently. ¡°Stay here. Don¡¯t go anywhere.¡± The person on the sofa did not respond at all. Terrence instantly knitted his beautiful brows. ¡°Alexa, I am talking to you. Can¡¯t you hear me?¡± ¡°I heard you.¡± Alexa grunted in a low voice, not wanting to look at him at all. ¡°Eat your meals on time. If I find you fasting again¡­¡± ¡°I know.¡± Alexa clenched her sleeves and lowered her voice. ¡°Don¡¯t appear in front of me again. After all, we are going to get divorced¡­¡± Before Alexa finished speaking, the heavy door was suddenly mmed with a ¡°bang¡±. Terrence had completely disappeared from her sight. Alexa thought, is he too indifferent now to pay attention to me? Alexa returned to the room disappointedly. Terrence was annoyed and pressed the elerator hard, driving all the way back to Duckdale Vi. The hall was in a mess. All the servants stood quietly in the living room, silently enduring Emely¡¯s shouting. ¡°How can you let my daughter eat that!¡± Emely smashed the chicken soup on the table with a ferocious expression. ¡°Who asked you to do this?¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Terrence stood at the door and frowned. Brynlee, who was crying, immediately threw herself into his arms. ¡°Terrence, the doctor said that the baby¡¯s condition is unstable.¡± Brynlee said in a choked voice, ¡°There¡¯s oxytocin in the chicken soup. Who would harm me with that?¡± ¡°I have sent someone to investigate. Don¡¯t be afraid.¡± As soon as Terrence finished speaking, a group of bodyguards brought the chef over. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, we have investigated thoroughly. It was Mrs. Ramsey who asked the chef to add something to Ms. Walton¡¯s food.¡± Terrence stared at the chef, whose face was extremely pale. Terrence said in a very cold tone, ¡°Leave it to the police.¡± ¡°Terrence, how could Alexa do this?¡± Brynlee became even more agitated. ¡°I can change myself if she doesn¡¯t like me.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be bothered.¡± Terrence pulled Brynlee into his arms without emotion. ¡°I will deal with her.¡± ¡°Terrence, let her go. OK?¡± Brynlee was giving him a hint. ¡°I don¡¯t me her.¡± ¡°How can I do that?¡± Terrence smiled faintly, his tone carrying a hint of yfulness. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t she be punished for what she did?¡± Brynlee was scared by Terrence. But since he had said that, Brynlee did not dare to say anything more. She thought, I haven¡¯t heard about that slut for a long time. Has she left New York? Humph. She is lucky. Terrence¡¯s expression was very serious. Brynlee did not dare to ask anything else. ¡°Terrence, I have booked a table in the restaurant that you like. Will you have dinner with me. tonight?¡± Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! Brynlee wanted to change the topic. But Terrence let go of her hand coldly.. ¡°There are still many things to do in thepany. I have to go there. You don¡¯t have to wait for me for dinner.¡± ¡°Terrence, Terrence¡­¡± Brynlee followed Terrence in a panic and unwillingly watched him walk further and further away. ¡°Does he know something?¡± Emely whispered nervously. Brynlee¡¯s hand holding the door suddenly tightened, and her delicate little face was full of killing intent. ¡°It must be Alexa! She must haven¡¯t given up on Terrence!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, I¡¯ve asked someone to deal with her.¡± Emely sneered sinisterly. She was a thousand times more vicious than Brynlee. At this time, Terrence had arrived at the foot of the mountain. An Aston Martin quickly rushed over and forced him to stop in the middle of the road. Brenton got out of the car in a high-profile manner. He casually leaned against the front door to the passenger seat and looked at the Bugatti Veyron with a disdainful smile. The car window was slowly rolled down, and Terrence¡¯s already cold and handsome face seemed to be even more fierce. ¡°Tsk. It¡¯s really Mr. Ramsey.¡± Brenton said with a smirk, ¡°Anyway, you¡¯re my fianc¨¦e¡¯s ex-husband. I shoulde to say hello.¡± Terrence thought, fianc¨¦e. Hechee. Terrence¡¯s cold gaze did not dodge in the slightest, and it even seemed strange. The ¡°fianc¨¦e¡± that Brenton yearned for was currently under Terrence¡¯s control. He had been exhausting her for countless nights. Brenton obviously did not know about that. Terrence thought, it doesn¡¯t matter that Brenton and Alexa were once in love and now still have feelings for each other. Anyway, Alexa can¡¯t leave me at all. ¡°Mr. Darrell, if you have a delusional disorder, go to see a doctor. I can also pay for your treatment fee.¡± ¡°Ha.¡± Brenton sneered nonchntly. He wasn¡¯t angered by Terrence at all. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, do your want to know how much I love Alexa?¡± Terrence did not speak, trying to suppress the hostility in his heart. ¡°We were in love for three years when our parents knew about it. I took her hand, kissed her on the side of her neck, and called her ¡®sweetheart¡¯. We even thought about our future daughter¡¯s name. And I nned to propose to her at her twenty- second birthday party after she finished her studies¡­¡± Brenton said each word clearly. His big eyes slightly narrowed. He had truly fallen into the memories of the past. The iceberg in Terrence¡¯s heart suddenly copsed, crushing all his rationality and arrogance. Terrence was Alexa¡¯s husband, but in her heart, he was an insignificant stranger. Brenton paused slightly and looked at Terrence with a smile. ¡°Alexa probably didn¡¯t tell you these things.¡± Brenton said gently, ¡°After all, there are many romantic secrets between her and me.¡± The cold aura around Terrence suddenly became murderous. He pressed the elerator with a cold face. The quiet Bugatti Veyron roared and galloped away in an instant. Terrence clenched his hands, which were holding the steering wheel. He wished he could hold Alexa¡¯s neck right now and torture her until she cried and begged.. Terrence thought, why does she still love Brenton? Why is she so cold to me? Chapter 153 Chapter 153 Chapter 153 How Dare You Behave Like This? Terrence was going to go to thepany for a meeting, but now he left all the executives behind without informing them and drove to Seafair Vi as fast as he could. The medicine David gave Alexa contained sedatives. Alexa fell asleep after a long while of insomnia. But the door was suddenly smashed by someone with a heavy sound. ¡°Alexa, open the door!¡± Hearing Terrence¡¯s angry voice, Alexa suddenly became nervous. She forced herself to get up and slowly moved to the door barefoot. Just as the door opened ajar, the person outside could not wait to push the door open and instantly squeezed in. Before Alexa could react, Terrence suddenly grabbed her waist forcefully and pressed her against the wall violently. ¡°Did you order someone to tamper with Brynlee¡¯s meal?¡± Terrence bit Alexa¡¯s neck and asked vaguely. Alexa weakly patted his shoulder, and tears came out of his eyes. ¡°I didn¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t?¡± Terrence chuckled yfully. ¡°Are you lying? Are you lying to me?¡± ¡°Go away¡­ Don¡¯t touch me!¡± Alexa cried desperately. Terrence pretended not to hear that and put his warm hand inside Alexa¡¯s clothes. Alexa lowered her head in despair, her tears soaking her clothes. ¡°Do you still dare to love him?¡± Terrence asked somewhat maniacally, ¡°Alexa, answer me!¡± ¡°Let go of me¡­¡± Alexa struggled in his arms in fear, her face ghastly pale, ¡°Terrence, you are crazy!¡± ¡°Yes, I am crazy.¡± Terrenceughed cruelly. Thest glimmer of hope in Alexa¡¯s eyes was extinguished. Alexa was tortured by him for the whole night. As soon as Terrence left the room, Alexa immediately stumbled into the bathroom. The blood that she coughed out dyed the white porcin sink red, which looked terrifying. Like a guilty thief, Alexa immediately cleaned up the bathroom sink in a flurry. Then she stared somewhere nkly for a long while, grabbing her cor. Terrence took her phone andpletely cut off her contact with the outside world. Alexa could not contact Kieran, and she had no money to buy those exorbitant medicines. She swallowed a piece of painkillers without water and suddenly thought of something even more terrifying. Terrence seemed to have cum inside her¡­ Alexa recalled for a moment, and her face immediately turned pale with fright. She quickly changed her clothes and ran to the living room. Terrence was eating breakfast at the moment. ¡°Come here,¡± he ordered briefly. ¡°I need to go out!¡± Hearing this, Terrence calmly took the napkin to wipe the corner of his mouth, not even looking at Alexa. ¡°Why are you going out?¡± ¡°It¡¯s just half an hour. I have something urgent to do.¡± ¡°Why are you going out?¡± Terrence repeated it indifferently, his patience running out. ¡°Please give my phone back to me.¡± ¡°Alexa!¡± Terrence suddenly got up and stared at her. ¡°How dare you behave like this?¡± Alexa stood by the door, obviously frightened by him, clutching her sleeve and not daring to say a word. Terrence pursed his thin lips and shouted in the end. ¡°Brady, prepare the car!¡± Alexa couldn¡¯t wait to go out and get in the car. In a few minutes, Terrence also came up. She immediately moved to the corner of the car until there was no way to retreat. Terrence furrowed his brows, his face intimidating. Alexa borrowed the driver¡¯s phone to check the map and decided to go to a high street in the end. ¡°I will be done as soon as possible,¡± Alexa smiled ingratiatingly. Terrence did not change his cold expression at all and even ignored her. Alexa sat anxiously for ten minutes until the driver parked the car at the entrance of the high street. ¡°There are so many people.¡± Alexa sighed lightly. The person beside her had already gotten out of the car and walked in front. ¡°Are youing with me?¡± Alexa trotted up to Terrence. Terrence said somewhat distantly, ¡°No¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t think that you are so important. I¡¯m just here to inspect my employees. This street is under Hudson Group, understand?¡± Terrence interrupted her coldly. ¡°Oh, OK. Then I¡¯ll be leaving now,¡± Alexa replied without changing her expression. After she finished speaking, she turned around and left immediately. Terrence¡¯s hand moved slightly, but in the end, he did not make any unnecessary movements. Alexa didn¡¯t pay attention to how prosperous this street was. She searched for a long time in the crowd and finally found a pharmacy. After Alexa came out with a medicine box, she stood on the street and took out the pills inside. A figure suddenly passed the corner. Alexa became absent-minded and the medicine box in her hand dropped to the ground because the person passed her. Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Alexa said immediately and bent down to pick up the medicine box. The man in front of Alexa was one step faster than her. He picked up the box and handed it to her. ¡°Thank you¡­¡± He was wearing a ck mask that covered most of his face. The brim of his hat was very low, and his light gray coat made him look mysterious and gentle. ¡°Sir, have we met somewhere before?¡± ¡°What?¡± The man spoke in a voice that was neither light nor heavy. ¡°Alexa!¡± Terrence stood not far away and called out to her through the crowd. However, the mysterious man nced sideways before Alexa could react. A strange emotion shed through the man¡¯s eyes. ¡°Goodbye.¡± Alexa didn¡¯t have time to reply to the man. She caught a glimpse of Terrence walking over with ant intimidating expression. She immediately took two steps back. ¡°Who is that man?¡± Terrence suppressed his anger and asked. Alexa lowered her head, put a pill into her mouth, and carelessly threw away the box. ¡°I don¡¯t know him.¡± ¡°What are you eating?¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes were cold and deep. Alexa¡¯s eyshes fluttered lightly as she said lightly. ¡°Birth control pills.¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± Terrence lost his patience and suddenly grabbed Alexa¡¯s thin wrist, almost crushing her bones. ¡°Alexa, did I allow you to eat it?¡± Terrence gritted his teeth and said, ¡°You insist on going out just to buy this?¡± ¡°Of course. Or do you want me to have your child?¡± Alexa said every word clearly, and her heart ached as if it was torn apart. ¡°I don¡¯t want to get into such trouble, so please let me go.¡± Terrence and Alexa looked attractive and now that they made a scene on the street, the pedestrians. around them gathered and looked at them strangely. Terrence¡¯s face was as cold as ice and there was a surging wave of immense hatred under his cold expression. ¡°How could I let a person like you have my child?¡± Terrence shook off her hand in disgust and responded cruelly, ¡°If you are really pregnant, of course, I will let the baby.¡± you abo Alexa smiled lightly and her entire body was suffering from a bone-chilling coldness. Terrence was so heartless Chapter 154 Chapter 154 Chapter 154 I¡¯m Sitting Right Here ¡°You are awesome.¡± Alexa chuckled stiffly. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Terrence grabbed Alexa by the wrist and pulled her into the car as if Alexa was a criminal. The dark car window isted Alexa from the bustling life on the street. Alexa looked out of the window with a hint of reluctance in her eyes, and her body was as cold as ice. Terrence loosened his tie irritably, pinched Alexa on the face with his calloused fingers, and made Alexa face him. ¡°I¡¯m sitting right here, but you are still distracted!¡± Terrence whispered unhappily. ¡°What are your thinking about? That man just now?¡± ¡°No.¡± Terrence snorted with doubt and then sneered coldly. ¡°You will miss every man you meet, won¡¯t you?¡± Alexa didn¡¯t refute. With a pale face, she was confined in Terrence¡¯s arms like a dead fish. Terrence suddenly lost interest in Alexa. He pushed Alexa away, took out a handkerchief, and wiped. his palms. ¡°You didn¡¯t make any progress,¡± Terrence arrogantly and indifferentlymented. Soon, Terrence straightened his clothes and looked like a gentleman again.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! ¡°You are right.¡± This sentence was self-mocking and metaphorical. Alexa forced a smile. After Alexabed her ruffled hair, the driver stopped the car in front of a French restaurant. ¡°Get out of the car for some food.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not hungry.) ¡°I didn¡¯t ask if you were hungry,¡± Terrence replied fiercely. Alexa pursed her lips and then obediently followed Terrence into the restaurant. Terrence was a VIP wherever he went. Alexa silently and humbly followed behind Terrence. Alexa¡¯s situation was worse than that of a pet. Alexa followed Terrence to sit at a long table. The waiter brought the menu. Alexa saw those terrifying prices and did not dare order a single dish. ¡°I want a ss of water, thank you.¡± Terrence looked at the discreet Alexa and couldn¡¯t help getting angry. Terrence casually made a few marks on the menu. Soon, the waiter pushed a food cart over and. ced various dishes in front of Alexa. ¡°I didn¡¯t order these things¡­¡± Terrence, who was cutting the steak, shot a warning nce at Alexa. Intimidated, Alexa swallowed back the rest of her words. ¡°Just eat. Why do you keep talking nonsense?¡± Terrence muttered. Then, he focused on the food on his te. Alexa hesitated for a long time before reluctantly eating a strawberry. ¡°Are you a child? Do you want me to feed you?¡± Terrence suddenly asked. Alexa shuddered in fear. ¡°No.¡± She answered honestly. I loved to stay around Terrence, but now I just want to escape. Alexa thought. Terrence brought Alexa a strong sense of oppression like an iceberg. Alexa was tense in fear that she would infuriate Terrence again. ¡°I have a bad stomach. I can¡¯t eat too much at night.¡± ¡°Take half a bowl of congee.¡± Terrence¡¯s voice was calm. ¡°I¡¯ll tell you somethingter.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°Take the congee first.¡± Terrence felt frustrated and thought, Alexa is indeed a child. Alexa obediently finished half a bowl of congee as requested. There was curiosity on her face. Terrence slightly shook his goblet. Then, he said indifferently, ¡°What I can tell you is that Keyon is still alive.¡± Alexa was stunned at first and then could not help but cry with joy. ¡°I knew it. I just knew that he would survive.¡± ¡°Thest ce where he appeared was Boston. I haven¡¯t gotten the details yet.¡± ¡°Thank you, thank you¡­¡± With her head down, Alexa wiped her tears with the backs of her hands. I still have a home as long as Keyon is alive. Alexa thought. ¡°I have been waiting for him to take me home.¡± Alexa choked. ¡°I have been waiting for him over the past three years¡­¡± Hearing the sobs, Terrence felt like being bitten by something in his heart. It was difficult for Terrence to describe his feelings. He didn¡¯t feel hatred or joy. ¡°We will talk about the futureter,¡± Terrence said indifferently. ¡°It seems that he failed to escape.¡± The bad emotions grew and entangled with each other like vines inside Terrence. In the end, an absurd idea popped up, and it took Terrence by surprise¡­ Why will Keyone back?Terrence wondered. Alexa had been shrouded in worry all this time, and Terrence had finally done something to make her rx. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I won¡¯t stop looking for my brother. Alexa thought. After dinner, Terrence drove Alexa back to the vi by the sea. Under the dim yellow light on the road, Alexa looked back, and her waist-length hair became a bit. messy because of the sea breeze. ¡°Then¡­ Goodbye.¡± Alexa waved her hand. ¡°I will go to sleep now.¡± Terrence hid his handsome face in the car, adding a touch of mystery. ¡°There will be a party tomorrow night. Go with me.¡± ¡°May I?¡± Alexa smiled faintly andbed the hair around her temple. ¡°Ms. Walton, won¡¯t she mind?¡± The light in Terrence¡¯s eyes dimmed. Then, Terrence said in a business-like tone, ¡°Get ready. I will pick you up at seven o¡¯clock tomorrow night.¡± Then, Terrence closed the car window, and the expensive Maybach drove away along the coastal road. Silence pervaded again. Alexa walked to the vi, and her lonely shadow stretched on the sand because of the light. The past 23 years were like a dream for Alexa. Alexa recalled her past life with her family, and a gentle smile appeared on her little face. Gradually, her head ached. There seemed to be a checkpoint that prevented Alexa from searching for the old memories. Alexa felt a chill down her spine and then quickened her pace to the vi. Perhaps I am too tired. Alexa thought. In the bathtub, Alexa held her forehead in distress. Then, she soaked her whole body in the hot water. Alexa could not help but think of the past after calming down. No matter how hard Alexa tried, there was always something weird in her mind. It seems I have lived in another city for a long time beforeing to New York. Alexa thought. Instantly, Alexa felt a faint pain in her head again. She quickly collected her thoughts and went back to her room tiredly. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, Mrs. Ramsey?¡± Yareli Benton boldly pushed the woman onto the bed and finally woke her up. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Alexa said. ¡°The stylists Mr. Ramsey sent are here. They are waiting for you downstairs.¡± Instantly, Alexa forced herself to sit up. ¡°What time is it now?¡± ¡°It¡¯s six in the afternoon.¡± Yareli frowned with concern. ¡°Mr. Ramsey wille to pick you up in one hour.¡± ¡°Sorry, sorry, I overslept.¡± Chapter 155 Chapter 155 Chapter 155 Jealousy Alexa lifted the quilt and got off the bed in frustration. She then quickly tidied up and ran to the living room. Around eight staff members sat quietly on the sofa, none of them showing any impatience. ¡°Sorry to keep you waiting, everyone.¡± Alexa acted sincerely. Lisa Oxley, the stylist, could not wait to go forward and stared at Alexa. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, you look stunning. And your body is so perfect.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Alexa chuckled and felt embarrassed, which made her look even more charming. ¡°Just rest assured and leave this to us,¡± Lisa said confidently. Nearly an hourter, Alexa appeared in a light green dress which was decorated with printed flowers. She looked graceful in front of everyone. The dress well matched her smooth skin and added charm to Alexa, together with her waist-length hair. Even the jade hairpin on her hair was shouting out her sexiness. Alexa was elegant and otherworldly, and now she seemed like a gentle and quiet fairy. Lisa admired Alexa proudly and praised Alexa. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, you are definitely the sexiest customer I have ever met.¡± Alexa looked at herself in the mirror, and her lips were slightly curved. ¡°Thank you.¡± Lisa smiled and joked, ¡°I understand now why Terrence has cherished you so much. He does know how to pick the right girl.¡± As soon as Lisa finished speaking, a noble figure was reflected in the mirror. Alexa held her breath and felt so nervous. Lisa was always perceptive, and she immediately left the room with others. Alexa, meanwhile, was quiet as she sat in front of the dressing table, watching as Terrence got closer and closer to her. Terrence wore a ssic dark gray suit and looked dominant as if he were a king. Alexa sat upright like a bride waiting for the groom. In the next second, Terrence ced his hand on Alexa¡¯s shoulder and put on aplicated expression as he gently leaned over to Alexa. He whispered, ¡°You are very beautiful today, baby.¡± Hearing him calmly say those words, Alexa was shocked. She wondered why Terrence would say so. However, before Alexa could react, Terrence straightened his back, standing behind her without a change in expression. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Alexa nodded lightly. She gracefully lifted her skirt and got up. Terrence immediately reached over his hands and held her hands. Alexa nced down and became nervous again. After getting in the car, Terrence kept on answering phone calls. Hudson Group was recently facing a business transformation, and Terrence was so busy recently. Alexa sneaked a peek at him. Seeing that Terrence¡¯s attention was not on her, Alexa immediately seized the opportunity to move aside slightly. With some distance between them, Alexa admired the scenery outside the window with a guilty. look and did not dare to look back at Terrence at all. Not long after, Terrence hung up the phone, and the car quieted down again. As Alexa absent-mindedly thought of something, Terrence suddenly held her slender waist and pulled her over without any hesitation. ¡°What are you¡­¡± Alexa eximed and crashed into a warm embrace without preparation. Terrence looked down at Alexa, who looked panicky in his arms, and his depressed mood suddenly eased up. ¡°Don¡¯t¡­¡± Alexa weakly pushed him a few times, timidly trembling. ¡°My hair will get messy.¡± ¡°Then why did you move aside just now? I¡¯m not going to eat you,¡± Terrence teased. Alexa was worried that her clothes would be messed up by Terrence. After struggling a few times, she did not dare to move anymore. Terrence knew that as well, so he unreasonably wrapped her tightly in his arms, making Alexa unable to move. The perfume Alexa was wearing had a fresh and faint gardenia fragrance. It interested Terrence, and he moved his hands up and down on Alexa. He seemed to love her so much. Terrence felt like Alexa was a drug that made him addicted and fell into the endless fairnd. He gently kissed her ears. Feeling the ufortable sweetness, Alexa shrank her shoulders. ¡°Stop it.¡± Terrence¡¯s breathing sank and moved slightly to the side reluctantly. His strong arm was still fixed on her waist. Alexa frowned and pushed his hand. ¡°Let go. There were so many people outside. What if they see us and take pictures?¡± she said nervously. ¡°What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that others will know that you are Mrs. Ramsey?¡± Terrence mocked in a very wicked manner. ¡°In fact, I don¡¯t care. Instead, you should worry because Brynlee will make trouble if she sees us.¡± Alexa curled her lips, and her eyes turned cold.. Somehow Alexa found it amusing. She was considered Terrence¡¯s wife, but in fact, she knew she was nothingpared with Brynlee. Alexa felt a burst of disgust in her heart and pulled back her hand coldly. She thought that Terrence would be furious, but she did not expect him to smile instead of being angry ¡°You keep talking about Brynlee every day. Tell me. Are you jealous of her? Or are you just trying to grasp my attention?¡± Terrence flirted. Unexpectedly, Terrence was so dirty, and Alexa could not squeeze out a word with her face flushing red. Just as she was having a hard time, the driver finally parked the car at the entrance of the magnificent hotel. Alexa and Terrence appeared in front of the cameras and immediately caused a great stir. This time, Alexa had apletely different style and gave a refreshing vibe. She gracefully took Terrence¡¯s arm and confidently waved her hand toward the cameras. ¡°May I ask if you are Ms. Duran from the Duran Group?¡± A microphone was suddenly handed in front of Alexa, followed by a straightforward question. After all, the Duran Group was quite well-known in New York. How could someone not recognize Alexa? Terrence¡¯s face instantly darkened, and his deep and cold stares were like knives, suddenly stabbing toward the reporter who asked the question. He knew someone must send this reporter to embarrass Alexa. As Terrence was just about to ask the bodyguard to drive the reporter out, he did not expect Alexa to nod gently and smile calmly. ¡°Yes.¡± Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. When she finished speaking, Alexa instantly felt her waist tightening. She turned and met Terrence¡¯s indifferent gaze. ¡°Regarding the questions for my wife, I will answer them for her.¡± Terrence¡¯s words were like a bomb. It made everyone present explode. They were all shocked to find out that Terrence¡¯s wife was Alexa. Some thought, how could Alexa, who was nearly broke, marry Terrence? Of course, the media knew that there must be a big secret behind it, but none of them dared to go up against Terrence. A strange silence spread among the crowd, and the reporters who had been extremely talkative just now instantly fell silent. ¡°No more questions? Good!¡± Terrence smiled faintly as his gaze slowly swept over everyone present. Chapter 156 Chapter 156 Chapter 156 You Seem to Be Busy Tonight Terrence never cared about people unrted to him or how they thought of him. Even now in front of the camera, he held Alexa¡¯s hand as if nobody were around and walked in with her. Alexa was about to ask who the host was when Brenton appeared in front of them with a smile. Thinking of what happened on Mount Desert Ind that day, Alexa looked a little embarrassed. But Brenton didn¡¯t feel embarrassed at all, his eyes fixed on her. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you toe to the banquet, Mr. Ramsey. I feel very honored.¡± Hearing Brenton¡¯s words, Alexa subconsciously nced at Terrence. She wondered if he insisted on bringing her to the banquet to know that Brenton was also there. Seeing Brenton, Terrence pulled a long face. ¡°You¡¯re also here, Alexa. I thought you would never see me again,¡± Brenton said affectionately. ¡°You don¡¯t have to tter yourself.¡± Terrence directly held Alexa in his arms and said arrogantly, ¡°There is nothing between my wife and you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s between me and Alexa. I think you shouldn¡¯t interfere, Mr. Ramsey.¡± The two men began to engage in a battle of words, and there was a strained atmosphere. Alexa was worried that it was hard to wind this matter up and immediately interrupted. ¡°Mr. Darrell, there¡¯s nothing between the two of us. I hope you won¡¯t have my husband Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org. misunderstand our rtionship.¡± Terrence¡¯s lips curved slightly, and he looked at Brenton with a vague smile. ¡°Did you hear that, Mr. Darrell? Mind your own business,¡± Terrence sneered. Brenton was soon overwhelmed by anger, but he concealed his emotions and still looked like a gentleman. ¡°Alexa, I don¡¯t want to put you in a difficult position, so I will do as you said.¡± Brenton found an excuse. Terrence sneered with contempt. He then walked away with Alexa in his arms. ¡°It seems he¡¯s still in love with you,¡± Terrence whispered unconcernedly. Alexa knew that Terrence was testing her again and took a sip of champagne. ¡°So what?¡± Alexa said indifferently, ¡°How can there be fairy tales in the adult world?¡± She said this to Terrence, but she was also warning herself. Once she fell in love with someone in show business, she would definitely be heartbroken. Terrence¡¯s cold face was expressionless, and Alexa didn¡¯t know his feelings at all. Terrence took Alexa to meet a few clients, but she soon found an excuse and went to the bathroom. Alexa couldn¡¯t drink much and felt a headache after a few sips of champagne. She got touch-ups for her makeup, gathered her energy, and then walked to the venue. A figure seemed to be standing at the corner. Alexa approached cautiously and saw the elegant silver- gray suit. She froze for a moment. Alexa had been calm, but now she became nervous and somehow felt guilty. ¡°Dr. Powell¡­¡± Hearing her voice, Kieran did not reply as politely as he usually did. His eyes were bloodshot with a worn-out face. Alexa had a mix of feelings and did not know what to say. Kieran grabbed her wrist directly and walked out of the back door. Just as they walked out of the splendid front hall, the cold wind instantly blew. Alexa shuddered, but Kieran suddenly let go of her hand and got close to her quietly. His lips moved as if he wanted to say her name, but he said a different thing in the end. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you answer my call?¡± ¡°What?¡± Alexa immediately took out her phone to check. It turned out that she had blocked Kieran¡¯s number. ¡°Sorry, I forgot to pay my bill.¡± ¡°Is Terrence making things difficult for you? Why hasn¡¯t there been any news about you for so long?¡± Kieran didn¡¯t sound as calm and rational as usual. On the contrary, he seemed to be ming Alexa after a shock. ¡°You know¡­¡± ¡°Dr. Powell, you don¡¯t have to worry about me. I don¡¯t intend to continue the treatment,¡± Alexa looked down and said in a low voice. ¡°What?¡± Kieran¡¯s gentle voice instantly became cold, and he revealed a disappointed look. ¡°Didn¡¯t you want to wait for your brother toe back? Why would you give up?¡± Kieran frowned. Alexa calmly met his surprised gaze, ¡°Because it is so painful. Even if I¡¯m cured, it is meaningless.¡± ¡°Alexa!¡± Kieran couldn¡¯t help but shout in a low voice. He suddenly stepped forward and held her tightly in his arms. Alexa was shocked with a nk mind. She stood still and leaned on his arms. ¡°There are still people who love you in the world. You don¡¯t care at all, do you?¡± ¡°Dr. Powell¡­ I have long known that it¡¯ll get to this point, so I am not afraid of death.¡± ¡°What are you talking about!¡± ¡°I¡¯m serious.¡± ¡°It seems that you haven¡¯t remembered it. You really forgot everything.¡± ¡°What?¡± Alexa replied in confusion and suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure not far away. Brenton stood straight beside the rose garden and stared at them with a half smile. Alexa was stunned, paid no attention to Kieran¡¯s words, and struggled to break free from his arms. Kieran had wanted to say something when Brenton strode forward with a sullen face and pulled Alexa over directly. ¡°Alexa, I¡¯mte.¡± ¡°Let go of me,¡± Alexa cried out nervously. But Brenton held her wrist tightly and looked at Kieran with hostility. ¡°Mr. Powell, it¡¯s inappropriate for you to do this, is it? I don¡¯t think that¡¯s how your parents teach you,¡± Brenton gritted his teeth and sneered. ¡°I can¡¯tpare with you in terms of your persistence in pestering Alexa.¡± The two men taunted each other deliberately as if they didn¡¯t know each other at all. Alexa was helpless and anxiously pulled her hand. ¡°Let me go!¡± Kieran¡¯s eyes turned cold, and he immediately stepped forward to grab Brenton¡¯s wrist. ¡°Can¡¯t you hear it? Let her go!¡± ¡°This is between me and Alexa. An outsider like you can¡¯t interfere.¡± The three of them were in a deadlock until Terrence silently appeared at the back door. In the dim light, he looked calm and reserved in a ck suit, and his handsome face couldn¡¯t be clearly seen. Terrence did not make a sound, but Alexa was the first to notice him. He had a strong aura, and Alexa even felt his hostility toward the other two men. Brenton turned to look where she was staring, and a sly smile instantly appeared on his handsome face. ¡°It seems that you are busy tonight.¡± Alexa¡¯s delicate little face was pale. She held her breath as she watched Terrence walk towards her. Chapter 157 Chapter 157 Chapter 157 Can¡¯t Afford to Mess With Your Kieran immediately got the point. Kieran coldly shook off Brenton¡¯s hand and turned to leave with a solemn face. Alexa felt very guilty. However, Terrence had already stood in front of her with a cold face, and his vibe was too strong for her to breathe. Brenton waved at Terrence with a bright smile and said sarcastically. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, what a small world! We meet again so soon.¡± Terrence did not even nce at Brenton but stared at Alexa with a murderous look. ¡°Come over here.¡± Alexa¡¯s expression was stiff, and she pursed her lips tightly. Alexa wished that she could immediately escape this ce and never see these guys again for the rest of her life. But Brenton did not let go of her hand. Not only that, he gripped Alexa¡¯s hand even tighter and deliberately asked her in front of Terrence. ¡°Alexa, would you like to go with him?¡± ¡°Alexa, look, this is not about whether you¡¯d like to do it or not. You¡¯d better think clearly about the consequences.¡± Terrence¡¯s tone became colder. Alexa¡¯s delicate makeup had been messed up. She pulled off the hairpin with one hand and let the messy hair strands fall. The light elegant fragrance smelled fresher. On thete spring night, the owner of the fragrance was just like a fairy. Alexa¡¯s face was a little blushed. It was unknown whether it was because of the cold wind or the unbearable te¨¢rs. ¡°Mr. Darrell, please let me go.¡± Alexa tried hard to restrain her emotions as if she would cry in the next second. ¡°I¡¯ve said that I have nothing to do with you.¡± ¡°Alexa, you don¡¯t have topromise yourself.¡± ¡± Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDra/ma.O(r)g! Alexa wanted to swear at Brenton, ¡°What the hell are you doing?!¡± But she just said, ¡°Let go.¡± ¡°Just say the word, and I¡¯ll get you away from here at once.¡± Terrence sneered in his mind, take her away? Huh! This was the most ridiculous joke that Terrence had ever heard. Terrence doubted where Brenton got his confidence from. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that we were going to be together forever?¡± Brenton asked in a very serious tone. Alexa was so shocked that her mind went nk. Terrence was not patient to watch them ¡°renew their old rtionship¡±. He directly strode forward and pulled Alexa¡¯s other wrist. The atmosphere was already tense, and now it became even weird. ¡°You wanna go with him? Try it.¡± Terrence had never been so angry before. However, Alexa was challenging his bottom line again. and again. First, it was Kieran. Then, it was Brenton, and now¡­ As Alexa¡¯s husband, Terrence had to personally witness Alexa¡¯s two lovers fighting for her favor. Terrence thought, she feels happy about that, doesn¡¯t she? Terrence¡¯s eyes became dimmer, and he nced at Brenton coldly. ¡°Mr. Darrell, you just take over thepany. You should know clearly whether you want to talk business or fight for awsuit.¡± Upon hearing this, Brenton¡¯s fake smile froze on his face. Brenton subconsciously reduced the strength of his hand. Alexa seized the opportunity to retract her hand. But on her other side, Terrence did not let go of her. Instead, he even directly carried her up in his arms and walked toward the hotel entrance without looking back. ¡°Don¡¯t!¡± Alexa cried out in panic, ¡°There are many people in the lobby. The media will take pictures. of us¡­¡± Terrence faintly smiled. He said casually, ¡°So you know it well. Mrs. Ramsey, Thank you for being considerate to me so much.¡± Alexa understood that Terrence was talking about what happened just now with sarcasm. She curled her lips and did not say a word. ¡°Say something¡± Terrence lowered his voice somewhat unhappily. ¡°Why are you silent now?¡± Alexa said strictly, ¡°I have nothing to say, and I can¡¯t afford to mess with you guys either.¡± Terrence angrily fixed his eyes on her face. Alexa¡¯s eyes were still red. Her hair was messy. One of her earrings was lost. Her lipstick smudged slightly as if she had been fiercely kissed. When Terrence saw this, the rage all over him became gloomier and stronger, and his eyes were as cold as ice. Alexa¡¯s clear eyes looked a little innocent, but Terrence sneered inexplicably. Terrence thought, is she pretending to be good for me to see? Does she also have such an obedient side? ¡°Look at you,¡± Terrence mercilessly criticized in a deep voice, ¡°So ugly.¡± Alexa had never heard anyone say that she was ¡°ugly¡± since she was a child! Terrence said it so naturally that Alexa could not bear it. ¡°Then don¡¯t look at me,¡± Alexa said boldly, ¡°I didn¡¯t beg you to look.¡± ¡°So, did Kieran praise you? And Brenton? Do they know that your husband designed this for you?¡± Terrence asked yfully. ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense!¡± ¡°Oh, what did I say?¡± Terrence asked with a fake smile. The next second, he pushed Alexa into the passenger seat with a livid face. Alexa couldn¡¯t wait to pull her long hair to cover her face, afraid that she would be recognized by others. Does this silly girl really think that someone dares to take photos of us? Terrence thought. Terrence felt angry and funny. He couldn¡¯t bear it any longer and tapped Alexa on her head with his finger. ¡°It¡¯s useless to cover your face. Don¡¯t cover it.¡± Alexa didn¡¯t listen to him at all. She silently buried her head even lower. Terrence was so angry just now that he wanted to teach her a good lesson, but now the anger in his heart had gone more than half. He thought, this heartless silly girl is a little cute. After Terrence got in the car, Alexa suddenly asked carefully. ¡°Can you let me go to a convenience store to get something to eat first?¡± ¡°Haven¡¯t you eaten yet?¡± Terrence frowned. Alexa lightly shook her head with a simple expression. ¡°It¡¯ste to go back now. The chef in the vi has been off work.¡± Alexa did not use the word ¡°home¡±, which sounded very ear-piercing for Terrence. Terrence silently concealed his subtle emotions and said like a strict parent. ¡°What¡¯s so good about the things in the convenience store?¡± Alexa chuckled with shallow dimples appearing on her cheeks. ¡°I¡¯m just a little craving.¡± For some unknown reason, Terrence unconsciously clicked on the navigation, found the nearest convenience store, and then silently drove over. Alexa was starving, so she did not have the mind to care about what Terrence was thinking. When Terrence pulled over at the entrance of the convenience store, Alexa¡¯s dim eyes suddenly lit up. She was about to get out of the car, but Terrence grabbed her arm. ¡°Are you going to go in wearing this?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Alexa didn¡¯t get the point. Terrence took off his coat and handed it to her. ¡°Put it on and go back quickly.¡± Terrence said indifferently. Alexa was a little conflicted. It looks even weirder with this coat on. However, she did not dare to argue with Terrence, so she had to maintain this appearance and walk toward the convenience store. The clerk was going to pack up and close the shop. The hot food had already been sold out. Alexa took a loaf of bread. When she saw the pregnancy test kit on the shelf next to her, she looked a little hesitant. When she paid the bill, Alexa could feel the clerk¡¯s subtle gaze on her. Well, she looked very strange in such a dress-up. Alexa hid the pregnancy test kit well. Then she walked back as if nothing had happened. After Alexa got back into the passenger seat, Terrence fixed his cold eyes on her. Alexa covered her handbag with a guilty conscience, pretended to be calm, and took a look at Terrence. Chapter 158 Chapter 158 Chapter 158 Interested in the Duran Group Terrence withdrew his gaze calmly. Then he asked in a casual way, ¡°You only eat this?¡± Hearing his question, Alexa tore open the bread in her hand and took a bite. She replied with her mouth full, ¡°Yes, I¡¯m not particr about food.¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you taking medicine? Can your body stand it?¡± Terrence gripped the steering wheel tightly. Dazzling neon lights constantly shed through the window. He felt kind of annoyed. ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Alexa shook her head. ¡°I¡¯m used to it.¡± ¡°You¡¯re used to it? You never stop taking medicine?¡± Terrence¡¯s face suddenly became grim. He never knew her body was so weak. Alexa did not care about it as much as Terrence did. She finished the bread quickly and looked up at Terrence. ¡°Yes, my body is weak, so I¡¯ve been taking medicine intermittently since I was a child.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the problem?¡± ¡°No exact problem.¡± Alexa did not want to continue this topic. ¡°It¡¯s just that my body is weak.¡± Terrence¡¯s brow furrowed tightly. He felt so upset. He did not say anything else. Alexa also lowered her head, lost in thought. She felt her stomach was stuffy because of the bread. Unexpectedly, Terrence sped up the car. Right now, Alexa felt like she was being tortured. When they finally returned to the Seafair Vi, Alexa could not wait to push the door open and get out of the car as soon as possible. The salty sea breeze freshened her up. Terrence ced the car at the gate and followed behind her quietly. Alexa looked back and slowed down her pace warily. ¡°You¡¯re not leaving?¡± ¡°Leave?¡± Terrence chuckled. ¡°You haven¡¯t told me what happened between you and those two- people. Why should I leave?¡± Alexa knew that Terrence would not let her go so easily, so she followed him silently. However, Terrence did not continue to question her. Instead, he tied up his apron and went to the kitchen. Alexa carefully hung her coat on the rack and then looked at Terrence nervously. ¡°Do you want to eat something? How about I call the chef over?¡± ¡°No need.¡± Terrence gave a brief answer. Then he skillfully prepared the ingredients. Alexa left him in the kitchen and returned to her room. Half an hourter, Terrence knocked on her door. Alexa had just taken a bath and was wearing a thick cotton skirt. Her wet long hair was casually ced behind her back. Her skin was so delicate and untainted. Terrence¡¯s eyes could not help but darken, and then he unnaturally shifted his gaze away. ¡°What is it?¡± Alexa asked in confusion. ¡°Come to eat.¡± Terrence did not wait for her reply. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and went downstairs. Alexa looked confused. She muttered, ¡°Eat?¡± She followed Terrence to the dining room and saw that there were two bowls of congee on the table, as well as some other dishes. ¡°Did you make all of this on your own?¡± Alexa was surprised at what she saw. Then she said, Content held by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Thank you.¡± Terrence¡¯s expression did not change as he pulled out a chair and seated himself. ¡°Eat.¡± The congee and other dishes he made were indeed very tempting. Only then did Alexa feel that she was not full yet after eating the bread. It was rare for her to have an appetite, so she began to dine. Seeing that Alexa was eating very well, Terrence could not help but slow down his eating. He silently sized up Alexa with his calm and deep eyes. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you were not hungry?¡± ¡°I was not hungry, but now I am.¡± Interesting. Terrence silently curved his lips, and he suddenly felt rxed a lot. ¡°Take it easy. No one will snatch it from you.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Alexa suddenly lowered her head and put down the spoon. She grabbed two pieces of tissue in a panic. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Alexa tried to restrain her tears, but her sniffs were still very obvious. Terrence instantly became serious, and there was worry written in his eyes. Concre ¡°My father used to make for me¡­¡± When Alexa finished speaking, her voice was already hoarse. The salty tears flowed into her lips, and she was even more choked. Terrence walked behind Alexa. He lifted his left hand but did not put it on her back. Terrence was a decisive man, but now he hesitated.. Alexa hated him very much, right? Terrence¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly, but in the end, he still retracted his hand. He could only console Alexa, ¡°Everything will be fine.¡± Alexa lost both of her parents. How could everything be fine? Alexa was so distressed that she felt like her heart was ripped open. She had been waiting for news about Keyon anxiously. Terrence might not know that she could not hold on until the day Keyon came back. Alexa held her sorrow and slowly rose like a soulless puppet. ¡°Thank you.¡± She expressed her gratitude slightly and left without looking back. Terrence looked at her lonely back and quietly stood in ce for a long time. He could clearly feel that Alexa and he were going different ways. She was further away from him. Terrence had mixed feelings. Suddenly, the screen of his phone lit up. He nced at the message and immediately left the house. That night, Alexa couldn¡¯t fall asleep. Her body temperature was unstable, and her stomach hurt so much that she vomited several times. Even though she had been fighting against the disease for a long time, Alexa was still very afraid. She was trembling violently in the quilt. The painkiller she had just taken didn¡¯t work at all. She coughed violently. Alexa covered her mouth with a handkerchief. Suddenly, her mouth was filled with a warm, rusty taste. She took a closer look and saw that the white handkerchief was covered in blood. She was stunned and slid to the ground. Her tears once again covered her dry eyes, which were so sore. The next morning, the Hudson Group. Terrence rubbed the space between his eyebrows and took a sip of coffee. Edwin carried arge pile of documents into Terrence¡¯s office. Like Terrence, Edwin was up all night. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, I¡¯ve collected all the info you asked for.¡± ¡°Thanks.¡± Terrence immediately put down the unfinished coffee and began to flip through the documents. Edwin stood at the side. Then he asked in confusion, ¡°Mr. Ramsey, the Duran Group went bankrupt three years ago. Why are you¡­¡± Before Edwin finished his words, Terrence nced at him indifferently. ¡°Nothing.¡± Edwin knew Terrence was lying. Edwin had been in Hudson Group for ten years, and he had never seen Terrence make any invalid investments. He suddenly took interest in the Duran Group. It must be because of Alexa. Edwin was very happy but also felt worried. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, then the Walton family¡­¡± ¡°Do you need me to teach you what to do?¡± Terrence¡¯s tone sounded ruthless. ¡°Before they give us what we want, they are still of use.¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, we have been investigating that matter for eight years. Do you still want to continue?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes turned cold. ¡°I¡¯ve been looking for her for eight years. How could I give up?¡± Chapter 159 Chapter 159 Chapter 159 You Throw Yourself at Me Edwin really did not understand why Terrence was doing this. But Edwin absolutely obeyed Terrence¡¯s arrangements and immediately sent more people to help with the investigation. Terrence looked at the time and stopped dealing with thepany¡¯s affairs, taking time to go to Seafair Vi. Alexa had gotten up. She was wearing a white home cotton dress today and was sitting at the table eating breakfast. She was rarely this silent and obedient like a child. Terrence walked over from the door. Alexa nced at him and continued to eat the food on the te. ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°I came back to change my clothes.¡± Terrence looked at the food on tomatoes. her te. There was an intact egg, a few strawberries, and cherry ¡°What do you want to eat? Let the chef make something else for you.¡± As soon as Alexa finished speaking, Terrence suddenly grabbed her wrist and leaned over to bite the cherry tomato she was holding. Terrence¡¯s warm lips seemed to inadvertently touch her fingertips. Alexa¡¯s fair little face quickly warmed up and turned crimson in the blink of an eye. ¡°Sweet.¡± That simple word was casually said by Terrence and became suggestive. Alexa was absent-minded for a moment. Terrence finished all the fruits on her te, leaving a smooth andplete egg. ¡°Eat a little more with me?¡± Terrence smiled. ¡°But¡­¡± Alexa did not have any room to refuse. After she ate the egg under Terrence¡¯s supervision, the servants put more food on the table. Terrence sat beside her and handed a cake to her. Alexa hesitated for a moment, but Terrence had no intention of stopping, so she had to take a small 1/5 bite. ¡°Is it delicious?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Terrence nodded with satisfaction and pushed the cake to her. ¡°Eat more.¡± The eggs and fruits had made Alexa feel full. She took two more bites of the cake and felt she couldn¡¯t eat more. ¡°I can¡¯t eat anymore.¡± Alexa put the cake to the side and said awkwardly, ¡°I¡¯ll eat more at noon¡­¡± Terrence didn¡¯t say anything. After eating the food on his te, he took Alexa¡¯s cake. ¡°Breakfast should be eaten in the morning.¡± He then quickly finished the cake. Alexa was stupefied and couldn¡¯t help but feel a little nervous. ¡°You¡­ Do you have something to tell me?¡± ¡°What do you want to hear?¡± Terrence asked. Alexa suddenly stopped talking. Terrence looked at her with a faint smile, and his handsome face suddenly went closer to Alexa¡¯s. She was spooked and stared at him sheepishly, unable to say a single word. ¡°Why are you suddenly being so shy?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not.¡± Alexa walked away with her red face and did not believe Terrence said that. However, he had no intention of being serious. Instead, he was getting more insatiable. ¡°What are you hiding for? Do you think I will eat you?¡± Terrence hooked his finger at her and orderedmandingly. ¡°Come here.¡± ¡°If you have something to say, just say it.¡± Alexa clutched the hem of her clothes like a frightened deer. ¡°I¡¯ll tell you when youe over.¡± Terrence¡¯s tone was serious, and Alexa naively believed him. But just as she took two steps closer, Terrence immediately grabbed her waist like a hungry wolf. Alexa didn¡¯t even have time to struggle and fell on hisp with a pale face. Terrence let go of her and chuckled meaningfully. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, you threw yourself at me.¡± Alexa¡¯s face turned red instantly. She lowered her head and got up, punching Terrence in the chest with just the right force. ¡°You are really annoying!¡± Terrence shamelessly grabbed her slender wrist and said in a frivolous voice. ¡°You should eat more, or you won¡¯t even have the strength to hit people.¡± ¡°You!¡± Alexa was agitated, and her chest suddenly heaved. The familiar smell of rust once again shot up to her throat. She immediately gritted r teeth and ran back to her room. Terrence curled his lips slightly, thinking that Alexa was just provoked. He was just about to follow when an assistant suddenly appeared at the door with a conflicted expression. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Ms. Walton is making a fuss again. She just went to thepany.¡± Terrence hid the warmth in his eyes, but his tone was full of helplessness and indulgence. ¡°Got it. I will go over now.¡± Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. When Terrence arrived at thepany, Brynlee was throwing a tantrum in his office. More than a dozen secretaries stood in front of her in fear and silently endured Brynlee¡¯s insults. No one dared to offend the future ¡°Mrs. Ramsey¡±. ¡°All of you, stay away from Terrence!¡± Brynlee cursed with a ferocious expression, ¡°If I find out which vixen tries to seduce Terrence, I will have plenty of ways to deal with you.¡± Brynlee¡¯s words became meaner, and she did not have the elegance of an ¡°A-lister¡± at all. Terrence quietly walked to the door and shouted in a gentle tone. ¡°Brynlee.¡± Brynlee was shocked and immediately put on an elegant and noble appearance. She held her waist. and walked in front of Terrence. ¡°Terrence, you are finally here.¡± Brynlee said coquettishly, ¡°I have been waiting for you for a long time.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I was very busy with work.¡± Terrence took the opportunity to hold her hand and asked gently, ¡°What did these people do?¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey¡­¡± The secretary was about to speak when Brynlee red at him, and he immediately stopped talking. ¡°Terrence, I want to know your employees, so I let theme.¡± Brynlee whispered, ¡°You won¡¯t be angry with me, will you? If you don¡¯t like it, I won¡¯t do it again.¡± ¡°Of course, I don¡¯t mind.¡± Terrence¡¯s attitude made Brynlee feel great. She smiled triumphantly and then sent those people away. ¡°Terrence, you seem to be very busy recently?¡± Brynlee carefully sounded out. ¡°Yes.¡± Terrence nodded calmly. ¡°I don¡¯t have time for you now. I will make it up to you in the future.¡± ¡°Terrence, you know how I feel about you, and I know your feelings for me, too. That¡¯s enough.¡± Brynlee was good at sensing his emotions and knew Terrence was hiding something. ¡°Terrence, how has Alexa been recently?¡± As soon as he heard Alexa¡¯s name, Terrence¡¯s eyes became a little dull. ¡°Why do you still mention that woman?¡± ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect that she would actually order someone to tamper with my food and drink. She is really ruthless,¡± ¡°Alright, don¡¯t think about her anymore.¡± Terrence casually retracted his hand. ¡°I will have a meeting later. Ask Edwin to drive you home.¡± Brynlee wanted to say something, but in the end, she could only suppress this resentment in her heart. ¡°Terrence¡­ Then I¡¯m leaving. You have to remember to go home early,¡± Brynlee said stiffly. ¡°I will.¡± Brynlee had just turned around when her pitiful expression immediately turned cold. Terrence must have someone else in his heart! Chapter 160 Chapter 160 Chapter 160 I Love You Very Much Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. However, Terrence did not seem to care about her opinion. This was also what Brynlee was worried about. Brynlee was very afraid that Terrence knew something. Brynlee gritted her teeth and dialed a number with a livid face. ¡°Find Alexa for me, immediately!¡± Not long after, Brynlee received an address. Brynlee revealed a sinister smile as she personally drove over. Alexa had been lying on the bed in a muddled state. She had just taken half a sleeping pill and was now extremely sleepy. Someone suddenly knocked on the door. Alexa did not have time to reply before Yareli pushed open the door and barged in. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, Ms. Walton is here. Hurry up and go downstairs.¡± ¡°What?¡± Didn¡¯t Terrence secretly lock her here? How did Brynlee find her? Alexa gasped heavily. She casually found a dress to change into and followed Yareli downstairs before she could even put on makeup. Brynlee leisurely sat on the sofa and drank tea. The luxury clothes gave off a gorgeous nobility. Inparison, Alexa¡¯s already sickly face looked even more haggard. It was like the difference between clouds and mud. ¡°Ms. Walton, Mrs. Ramsey is here,¡± Yareli reported in neither a humble nor pushy manner. When Brynlee heard those three words, her proud face immediately became gloomy. Brynlee silently threw the teacup in her hand onto the coffee table. The expensive porcin cup instantly shattered into pieces. ¡°Watch your words. Who allowed you to be so rude?¡± Brynlee warned with a fierce voice. Yareli was angry but did not dare to say anything. Alexa quietly gave Yareli aforting look and calmly walked to the side and sat down. Alexa knew very well that what Brynlee had just said was to her. Alexa did not have any fear in her heart and lightly nced at Brynlee. ¡°Do you have something to say?¡± Get Bopti Brynlee hated Alexa, who was pretending to be innocent and weak, and her heart seemed to be burning with anger. ¡°How long has it been since west met? Why do you look so bad?¡± Brynlee sneered and said sarcastically, ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you are sick.¡± As soon as Brynlee finished speaking, Alexa suddenly covered her mouth and coughed several times with a painful expression, looking very ufortable. ¡°It has nothing to do with you,¡± Alexa retorted in a hoarse voice. ¡°You¡¯re wrong!¡± Brynlee shouted in a low voice, wishing she could give Alexa a few tight ps. ¡°What you use is all Terrence¡¯s money. As his wife, of course, I have the right to ask.¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± Alexa ¡°uckled disdainfully and coughed badly. ¡°Dov think I¡¯m Terrence¡¯s mistress?¡± Brynlee red at Alexa, her hands on her knees tightening. Alexa coughed violently. ¡°Shut up! Shut up!¡± Brynlee screamed madly and pped Alexa with a ferocious expression. ¡°Alexa, you don¡¯t deserve to say that!¡± A mistress? To Brynlee, the word was like a p to her face. Alexa fell to the side weakly, and a clear palm print appeared on her face. Brynlee looked at Alexa¡¯s red and swollen face. Brynlee had never felt so happy. Brynlee grabbed Alexa¡¯s hair and raised her hand to p Alexa again. However, Yareli rushed up and protected Alexa with her body. Brynlee was angry and pushed Yareli aside. ¡°Damn old woman, get out of the way!¡± Yareli fell to the ground without any preparation, but she did not care about herself and shouted at the top of her lungs. ¡°Someone! Please help!¡± But the servants and bodyguards at the door seemed to not hear it. No one rushed in to protect Alexa. Brynlee grabbed Alexa¡¯s cor and pped her several times. Brynlee even deliberately scratched Alexa¡¯s face with her sharp nails. Anyway, Alexa looked dead and did nothing. Alexa just felt that the more pain she felt, the more awake she became. Brynlee had better be more ruthless and just beat her to death. Alexa¡¯s blood-red eyes hurt so much that she could no longer shed tears. This bit of pain was not worth her tears. ¡°Bitch!¡± Brynlee shouted at the top of her lungs. ¡°Your dead parents taught you to be a mistress, right? Then I will teach you a lesson today!¡± Hearing Brynlee insult her parents, Alexa, who was silent just now, suddenly opened her eyes and pushed Brynlee away. Brynlee crashed into the coffee table, and the situation instantly reversed. Brynlee fell to the ground, covering her stomach in pain and crying. ¡°My stomach¡­ My stomach hurts so much¡­¡± The assistant at the side was stunned and immediately rushed forward to check Brynlee¡¯s condition. ¡°Take Ms. Walton to the hospital!¡± ¡°Ms. Walton, you have to hold on!¡± ¡°My child will be fine, right?¡± Brynlee cried out in a trembling voice. ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Alexa stood at the side so awkwardly that it was as if she had experienced harsh winter snow. Alexa¡¯s entire face was burning with pain, her ears buzzing, and even her breathing was stained with the smell of blood. The group of people sent Brynlee to the hospital in fear. Yareli endured the pain and got up ground. Yareli held Alexa¡¯s hand with tears in her eyes. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, this is a terrible mistake¡­¡± ¡°This is a terrible mistake¡­¡± from the Alexa silently repeated these words. Suddenly, her eyes turned ck, and she copsed to the ground unconsciously. When Alexa woke up again, she saw a white wall. Alexa saw the infusion tube hanging on the side, and there was finally a glimmer of light in her blurred eyes. There was a figure lying on the bed. Alexa saw that he was wearing a silver suit, and her pale face instantly showed a visible fear. Sensing her movement, the man slowly woke up. When Alexa saw his face, she was shocked. ¡°Brenton?¡± ¡°Good morning, Alexa.¡± Brenton naturally turned his head to reveal a bright smile and stretched. ¡°I came to see you from New Yorkst night. I didn¡¯t expect to oversleep. I¡¯m sorry.¡± Hearing him say this, Alexa immediately frowned. ¡°Where is this? What¡¯s the situation here?¡± Brenton said, ¡°This is Cretton Hospital. Ms. Duran, you¡¯ve been in aa for three days.¡± ¡°Three days?¡± Alexa held her forehead, feeling that her memory was lost again. ¡°I¡¯m clearly in New York. Why¡­¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Brenton casually exined, ¡°I stopped the car to take you to the hospital and brought you here.¡± Alexa was suddenly agitated. ¡°Brenton, are you crazy? How do you know where I am?¡± ¡°I waited there as long as you lived there.¡± Brenton looked at her calmly. ¡°Alexa, I¡¯m not crazy. I just love you very much.¡± Alexa hung her hand weakly, almost breaking the tube. Her thoughts were a mess for a long time, but she still could not ept the current situation. ¡°I have to go back. I can¡¯t stay here with you!¡± Alexa pulled off the needle with a panicked expression. Chapter 161 Chapter 161 Chapter 161 Why Is It Your Fault? ¡°Why!¡± Brenton immediately grabbed her, refusing to let go. ¡°Brynlee had a miscarriage!¡± Brenton roared in a low voice, feeling helpless. ¡°If you go back now, how will that bastard Terrence treat you? Why do you have to leave me!¡± Alexa looked at him quietly, her withered eyes like a pool of stagnant water. ¡°It¡¯s all my fault, so I have to go back. I shouldn¡¯t escape¡­¡± ¡°Why is it your fault!¡± Brenton extinguished her hope. ¡°I can¡¯t let you go. Besides, you can¡¯t escape Boston. How can I let you go back and suffer?¡± ¡°Brenton¡­ Why are you doing this? I am not worth it,¡± Alexa choked. ¡°I¡¯ve already contacted the doctor. You¡¯ll have chemotherapy from tomorrow on. It¡¯s not toote.¡± ¡°You know everything?¡± Alexa instantly fell weakly onto the bed, losing all her strength. The back of her right hand, where she got the drip, was still bleeding. Brenton¡¯s eyes were filled with deep pity. ¡°I¡¯ll call the nurse to take care of it.¡± ¡°How much do you know?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no point talking about that. What you need to do now is throw everything out of your mind. and let the doctors treat you.¡± Brenton tried his best to remain calm. ¡°I asked the doctor. He said you can be cured. And I will be with you all the time.¡± ¡°Brenton, I have heart problems and now I have lung cancer. Now the cancer cells are all over my body¡­¡± ¡°Stop!¡± Brenton¡¯s face was gloomy. ¡°I will find you the best doctor. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Alexa had long held no hope for her damaged body. She did not want to bother others. But now the rtionship between Brenton and her was still very awkward. Alexa did not know what to say to him. Brenton left the ward with a slightly heavy aura. Not long after, the nurse rushed over. Alexa watched as her wounds were treated numbly, her mood very heavy. She had done such a disgraceful thing. Terrence must want to kill her. And now she was hiding in Boston, blocking all news. Half an hourter, Brenton came back again. Alexa sensitively smelled the faint smell of tobo on him. She remembered the past very clearly. Brenton had never smoked before. Noticing Alexa¡¯s gaze, Brenton smiled gently. ¡°I won¡¯t smoke again.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Alexa looked away. ¡°Actually¡­¡± ¡°I have to go to thepany. After the drip is done, the nurse will take you out for a walk so you won¡¯t be too bored.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa wasn¡¯t passionate, nor did she sound cold. This type of attitude didn¡¯t ruin Brenton¡¯s interest. Before he left, he turned back. And he reminded her, ¡°Goodbye for now. Call me if you need anything.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Walking out of the ward, Brenton immediately seemed to have changed into a different person. His face was cold and indifferent as he listened to the report from his subordinates. ¡°Mr. Darrell, Hudson Group increased the acquisitionst night. There are problems with the capital flow of our several branches.¡± ¡°He overestimates himself,¡± Brenton ordered coldly. ¡°I need to meet with ra. Arrange it. Keep everything that happened in New York from Ms. Duran.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Three years had made Brenton apletely different person. The current him was decisive and ruthless. He had no fear even facing the Hudson Group. He had finally got Alexa back. This time, he must not lose! At this time, New York city was under heavy rain. Terrence stood in front of the wide French window, staring at the city being washed by the storm. Set Rinus Edwin quietly came in and reported the news to him carefully. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, we have found where Mrs. Ramsey is.¡± ¡°Where is she?¡± Terrence asked indifferently. ¡°For the time being¡­¡± ¡°She hasn¡¯t been brought back yet?¡± Terrence¡¯s sharp eyes suddenly pierced over. Even someone as experienced as Edwin was unable to raise his head due to this cold aura. ¡°Looks like I need to go personally?¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, I am sorry to let you down.¡± Terrenceughed coldly and gently picked up the pregnancy test sticks on the table. His deep eyes were filled with unknown emotions. Alexa, how dare she? ¡°She actually hid for three days. Amazing!¡± Terrence gloomily mocked. Edwin broke out in a cold sweat. It was hard to imagine how Terrence would treat Alexa after she was back. Terrence hid his true feelings and coldly threw the box in his hand into the trash can. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, are you going to see Ms. Walton? Now is the opportunity¡­¡± ¡°Bring Alexa back first!¡± Terrence gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Bring her back to me intact!¡± Alexa, who was far away in Boston, had left the ward and walked gloomily to the chemotherapy room. Through the ss on the door, she could clearly see the patient who was undergoing chemotherapy, with all kinds of tubes inserted into the body, lying on the bed like a corpse. Even standing outside the door, Alexa could still feel the pain. ¡°Ms. Duran.¡± The head nurse shouted and quickly ran to Alexa. ¡°Don¡¯t stand here. Mr. Darrell said we should take a walk outside.¡± Alexa moved two steps with her and suddenly asked calmly. ¡°Madame, for patients like me, what is the chance of surviving?¡± The head nurse was stunned by her words. ¡°Ms. Duran, don¡¯t think too much. Mr. Darrell has invited the best doctors for you. You will be fine.¡± Alexa silently lowered her eyes and did not ask any more questions. When they passed by the nurse station, a few nurses were whispering. ¡°Have you heard? The new girl with serious lung cancer¡­¡± ¡°The one that Mr. Darrell brought here? Of course.¡® ¡°What a pity. She¡¯s not even 24 years old yet. She¡¯s so young.¡± ¡°Ahem¡­¡± The head nurse coughed a few times and red at them, forcefully ending the topic. Alexa heard every word clearly. She released the head nurse¡¯s hand and silently returned to the ward. It turned out that everyone knew that she didn¡¯t have much time left. Alexa felt guilty and suddenly retched. When the head nurse came over, Alexa was leaning over the washstand, vomiting violently. ¡°Ms. Duran, I will call the doctor over immediately.¡± Alexa was so ufortable that she could not speak. Not long after the head nurse left, she suddenly felt dizzy. After staggering a few steps, she lost consciousness and fell down. ¡°She is having low blood sugar. Recently, she needs to have a careful diet.¡± ¡°And the chemotherapy¡­¡± ¡°I respect her choice.¡± When Alexa heard these voices, she slowly opened her eyes and woke up. Brenton immediately leaned over and held her hand, his face full of worry. ¡°Alexa? How do you feel? Do you feel ufortable anywhere?¡± Alexa was stunned for a while. Then she shook her head lightly. The head nurse handed the report to Brenton, leaving only the two of them in the ward. Sensing that he was a little hesitant, Alexa said. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Has my condition worsened again?¡±This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Chapter 162 Chapter 162 Chapter 162 She Won¡¯t Carry His Child Brenton clenched the report, his heart surging with hatred. He restrained himself for a long time. Then he slowly said, ¡°You had another check just now. Alexa, you are pregnant. It has been a month¡­¡± ¡°What?¡± Alexa cried out in shock, and her breathing became heavy in an instant. ¡°Brenton, what did you say?¡± Just telling her about this matter consumed all of Brenton¡¯s energy. He felt that the sky was falling before him. ¡°Alexa¡­ Is it Terrence¡¯s child?¡± If she was pregnant, she must have an abortion. Alexa remembered clearly what Terrence once said. She covered her lower abdomen with her numb hand. Tears welled up in her eyes in an instant. It was simply inconceivable. A baby was now inside her body. However, she and this unborn child wouldn¡¯t be together for long. She couldn¡¯t raise it up. Nor would Terrence ept it. ¡°The chemotherapy will affect your body.¡± Brenton advised tactfully, ¡°So this child¡­¡± ¡°I need an abortion, of course.¡± Alexa said lightly as she raised her head, her silent eyes dyed with coldness. ¡°How could I carry his child?¡± ¡°Alexa¡­¡± Brenton was a little surprised, but he agreed with her deep inside. ¡°Have you made up your mind?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Brenton tightened his grip on her hand, a trace of happiness shing through the depths of his heart. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I will forever be here for you.¡± Alexa looked indifferent, emotionless. Brenton had been observing Alexa¡¯s expression the entire time. Seeing her so calm, he immediately understood that Alexa was hiding something. After all, they had been in close contact for so many years. He couldn¡¯t understand Alexa better. ¡°Alexa. Don¡¯t dwell on the past.¡± Brenton said in a heavy tone, ¡°After your illness is cured, let¡¯s start a new life.¡± Alexa did not answer him immediately. She was as quiet as a porcin doll, with only her thick and long eyshes lightly fluttering. Brenton didn¡¯t say anything else and quietly left the ward. ¡°Mr. Darrell, the people from the Ramsey family are gathered downstairs.¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± ¡°Terrence came in person.¡± Brenton¡¯s body immediately burst out with a monstrous chill. He sneered disdainfully as he went downstairs. More than a dozen Rolls¨CRoyce were quietly parked below the inpatient building. Terrence sat in the hall with arrogance and pride. The atmosphere was deathly silent. ¡°Tsk, I was wondering who it was,¡± Brenton said darkly. ¡°So it¡¯s my fianc¨¦e¡¯s ex¨Chusband.¡± Terrence gave him a cold nce and gently opened his thin lips. ¡°Where is Alexa?¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, I suppose you don¡¯t know it yet. But Alexa is now pregnant with my child. Of course, I have to send her to a quiet ce to take care of the baby.¡± As soon as Brenton finished speaking, the already silent atmosphere instantly burst out with sharp killing intent. Terrence slowly got up with the vibe of heavy oppression, and his gloomy face added a sense of death. ¡°What did you say?¡± He gritted his teeth and spoke word by word, restraining his emotions that were about to lose control. ¡°Brenton, do you want to die?¡± ¡°We were going to get married,¡± Brenton chuckled nonchntly. ¡°Isn¡¯t shotgun marriage a normal thing?¡± Terrencepletely lost his mind. He suddenly strode forward and grabbed Brenton by the cor and punched him hard. A bruise instantly appeared on Brenton¡¯s face. He raised his hand to wipe away the blood at the corner of his mouth and his cynical expression suddenly became sharp and shrill. ¡°Terrence, who do you think you are?¡± Brenton was like a trapped beast, sparing no effort to vent the hatred in his heart. Both of them had been ruthless, and neither of them had gained any advantage. Terrence¡¯s meticulously dressed attire waspletely messy, and his face was also stained, but his ruthless eyes swept coldly at the figure on the side. Alexa came forward with a worried expression and stood in front of Brenton without a word. Terrence was obviously a little stunned, but he quickly came back to his senses and sneered with a cold smile. ¡°Terrence,¡± Alexa spoke calmly, while her tone was extremely firm. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± ¡°What do you think?¡± Terrence became gloomier. ¡°Do you think you can escape?¡± ¡°Alexa, I will protect you.¡± Brenton held Alexa in his arms. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid.¡± Terrence watched as Brenton clung tightly to her body, his face dark without a trace of warmth. What a joke! ¡°Brenton, don¡¯t think that you can act rashly in front of me just because you have some money.¡± Terrence looked up slightly. ¡°Do you want to give it a try?¡± When he heard about the money, Brenton¡¯s eyes clearly shed a little. He had just returned to the country. Now he needed a business breakthrough. If Terrence deliberately targeted him, then it would be impossible for the Darrell Group to thrive in New York. However, there was no way out for him. For Alexa, he could only give it his all! ¡°No matter what you want, Mr. Ramsey, I won¡¯t retreat.¡± ¡°Heh.¡± Terrence smiled for an unknown reason as he casually looked at Alexa¡¯s pale little face. ¡°Come here.¡± Brenton¡¯s expression was extremely ugly when he heard Terrence¡¯s domineering order. He protected Alexa even tighter, but the person in his arms took the initiative to leave his embrace. ¡°Alexa?¡± Brenton looked at her in disbelief. Alexa squeezed out a pure smile from the bottom of her heart and nodded at him gratefully. ¡°Thank you for taking care of me for the past three days. We will meet again if we are meant to.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Brenton subconsciously grabbed Alexa¡¯s wrist. ¡°Don¡¯t go.¡± Alexa shook her head weakly. She had already seen through everything. ¡°It¡¯s all destined.¡± ¡°What about the child? How are you going to deal with it?¡± Brenton¡¯s voice was very low, and he immediately caught the evasive look in Alexa¡¯s eyes. Did she change her mind? Brenton suddenly felt very afraid, but Alexa once again pushed his hand away and walked towards Terrence without looking back. ¡°Alexa, don¡¯t go!¡± This was the first time Brenton had begged someone in such a low voice, but Alexa seemed to not hear him. Her steps were extremely firm as she left. He had managed to save her from the fire with great difficulty, and now he had to watch her and suffer. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. go back Terrence nced at him with a warning gaze, and with a victorious posture, he rudely pulled Alexa over. Alexa staggered a few steps, and Brenton subconsciously wanted to go forward to help her, but he was restrained by Terrence¡¯s bodyguards. ¡°Alexa, I wille and save you!¡± Hearing Brenton¡¯s heart¨Cwrenching scream, Alexa sighed silently and lowered her head to stare at the ground, thinking of something. ¡°He ising to save you,¡± Terrence sarcastically sneered. ¡°How romantic! But he is a loser.¡± The person beside him did not say a word. Terrence became even angrier. ¡°What? Are you feeling sorry for him?¡± He sneered, ¡°If you love him, then go with him.¡± Chapter 163 Chapter 163 Chapter 163 Not Qualified to Survive Alexa stiffly pursed her bloodless lips and whispered patiently. ¡°Terrence, stop before you go too far.¡± ¡°Stop before I go too far?¡± Terrence was like a barrel of gunpowder that had suddenly been ignited. He grabbed Alexa and pulled her into the car. Alexa crashed into the seat. Before she coulde back to her senses, Terrence¡¯s strong and hot body recklessly covered her. ¡°Get up!¡± Alexa sobbed in fear and subconsciously protected her lower abdomen. This action enraged Terrence even more. He lifted Alexa¡¯s hands and violently tore her coat. Her t lower abdomen was instantly exposed to the air, which was particrly dazzling. Terrence¡¯s face was as dark as ink. He stared quietly for a moment and reached out to it with his rough palm. Alexa trembled in fear and pushed Terrence¡¯s strong arm in fear. ¡°Don¡¯t touch me! Terrence, I beg you¡­ Don¡¯t touch me¡­¡± The embryo in her belly was only a month old and was not yet visible. Terrence¡¯s deep and angry eyes locked on her for a long time, as if he wanted to pierce through her lower abdomen. He turned a deaf ear to Alexa¡¯s crying and said coldly. ¡°Will you take the medicine yourself, or should I take you to the hospital?¡± ¡°Terrence, how can you¡­¡± She coughed. Alexa suddenly covered her mouth and retched with a pained expression. Terrence looked at her coldly and mercilessly. He gripped her lower jaw with overflowing hatred. ¡°Alexa, how dare you hide it from me?¡± Terrence was terribly scary at the moment. Alexa felt that he was so strange. She endured double torture mentally and physically, wishing to die. ¡°Kill me¡­¡± Hearing her gasping in pain, Terrence released his hand in disgust. ¡°Why should I kill you?¡± He sneered cruelly, ¡°You killed Brynlee and my child. I will let you atone for your sins for the rest of your life.¡± Alexa leaned on the side with heavy breathing, her messy long hair covering the side of her sick face. ¡°This bastard has no right to live.¡± Bastard? Hearing that, Alexa felt a heart¨Cwrenching pain. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. Terrence called her child a bastard. ¡°I won¡¯t abort it!¡± Alexa suddenly stubbornly hid to the side. ¡°It is my child, and you have no right to tell me what to do.¡± ¡°It seems that you want me to take you to the hospital.¡± Terrence¡¯s tone was casual as if aborting a child was just like throwing away a flower on the road. It was a new life! Alexa bit her lips tightly. Her eyes turned red. ¡°No!¡± she roared back. ¡°Terrence, we have already divorced! You have no right to control me. Terrence¡¯s silent face suddenly turned cold when he heard this. His calloused palmnded on her delicate neck. ¡°Alexa, what did you say?¡± Terrence was so angry that heughed, and his face was very frightening. ¡°Say it again?¡± ¡°I said, you have no right¡­¡± Bang! Terrence suddenly rushed over and pressed Alexa on the car door without any mercy. ¡°Alexa, do you want to die?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa¡¯s eyes were red, meeting his ruthless eyes indifferently. ¡°Just kill me, do it!¡± Her whisper was like a bell ringing in Terrence¡¯s ear. He suddenly released his hand and nced at Alexa with a strange look. Chapter 163 Not Qualified to Survive The way she desperately protected her belly made Terrence extremely furious. But at the same time, his heart was suffused with a twisted bitterness. Alexa was pregnant with someone else¡¯s child. How dare she? How could she be so ruthless? Terrence gritted his teeth. He took off his coat in anger and threw it on Alexa. However, she avoided it like it was evil. She lowered her eyes and said softly, her expression indifferent, ¡°Terrence, since you can¡¯t ept it, then sign it.¡± He was irritated. When the matter of the child was mentioned, Terrence frowned again. She forced him to divorce with an embryo that had yet to form in her abdomen. Terrence felt extremely disgusted. He didn¡¯t care about a lot of things. But the fact that Alexa was having another guy¡¯s child made him sick. ¡°Alexa. Don¡¯t be too optimistic yet.¡± Terrence shouted irritably. ¡°I won¡¯t divorce.¡± When he finished speaking, Terrence added. ¡°If you insist on giving birth to this child, it can only take my surname.¡± Alexa froze for a long time, repeating Terrence¡¯s words over and over again in her mind. A momentter, she frowned and said in disbelief. ¡°Terrence, are you sick?¡± ¡°Yes, I am sick,¡± Terrence mocked himself, ¡°What does it have to do with you?¡± Alexa frowned. She felt that she had nomonnguage with Terrence at all. His logic seemed to be different from that of ordinary people. ¡°This child will not have anything to do with you.¡± Terrence casually sneered, then he said something really creepy. ¡°That will be discussed if you can give birth smoothly.¡± Alexa grabbed the cloth that had been torn by him. Even if she was very afraid, she would never lower her head in front of Terrence. How could he be so ruthless? It took three hours to drive from Boston to New York, and not long after, Alexa held her heart tightly. She did not eat anything just now, but now her stomach was in a mess. Nausea invaded her like a tide, forcing her to copse. Alexa coughed but didn¡¯t feel better after that. Terrence noticed it. His already cold aura added a bit of chill. Wow! Incredible. Is she vomiting in front of me? Terrence was extremely unhappy and was about to re up when Alexa suddenly retched brazenly. She did not want that, but it was out of her control. Alexa coughed a few times with a pale face. A bitter and uncontroble feeling rushed to her throat. Then she felt dizzy. Watching her vomit on the seat, Terrence felt extremely unhappy. ¡°Alexa¡­¡± He was so angry that he could not speak. The person in front of him obviously did not pay attention to him. Before Terrence¡¯s patience ran out, Alexa sat up straight with a pale face. Seeing the stains on the seat, she blushed even more and could not speak a word. The cleaning fee for this luxury car should be very expensive¡­ Just as she was deep in thought with a conflicted expression, the person beside her handed over a handkerchief with extreme displeasure. ¡°Wipe it.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°Alexa nodded obediently, and her lips were bloodless. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± When she finished speaking, Alexa took the expensive handkerchief and wiped the seat very seriously. Terrence caught a glimpse of her movement, and the fire in his heart burned brighter and brighter. He snatched the handkerchief back in anger and shouted fiercely. ¡°I will die of anger because of you sooner orter!¡± Chapter 164 Chapter 164 Chapter 164 I¡¯ll Repay What She Owes You Hearing Terrence¡¯s words, Alexa felt a little wronged in her heart. She was clearly doing things ording to Terrence¡¯s request, but what was he angry about? Terrence threw away the handkerchief directly, took out a stack of tissues, and pressed them against the corner of Alexa¡¯s mouth. ¡°Wipe your mouth clean!¡± Terrence¡¯s actions could not be considered gentle, but Alexa did not say anything and endured it silently. It was not until he slowly wiped away the filth from her mouth that Alexa quietly distanced herself from him. There was nothing in her stomach, and she just vomited some gastric acid. But Terrence had severe mysophobia, and Alexa was clear about it. She was just about to dispose of the dirty tissue, but Terrence had already tidied up the tissue patiently, not showing any dislike on his face. Alexa was depressed and had a fewplicated feelings in her heart. She wondered, why can¡¯t I see through Terrence? Alexa looked at Terrence in a daze, so she did not have time to avoid Terrence¡¯s gaze. ¡°Why are you staring at me?¡± Terrence said grumpily. ¡°Who allows you to do so?¡± Terrence was so stubborn, and even though he was smug in his heart, what he said scared Alexa. Alexa immediately turned his head and stared at her knees in a daze. Terrence let out an ambiguous snort as he sized up her lower abdomen intentionally. He felt a trace of irritation in his heart again. ¡°About two hours are needed. Can you hold on? Or do you want to take a ne?¡± ¡°No need,¡± Alexa refused without thinking, ¡°I won¡¯t trouble you.¡± Terrence ridiculed in his heart, trouble me? ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, don¡¯t you think it¡¯s ridiculous for you to say this?¡± Terrence looked at Alexa coldly. ¡°You have troubled me a lot before.¡± Alexa was even more speechless and wished she could bury her head in the ground. Chapter 164 I¡¯ll Repay What She Owes You 1/5 She endured the two hours of driving as if it was a dream. After getting out of the car, she found that Terrence had sent her to a new ce. The vi in front of her was elegant and beautiful. There was no sea in the distance but a quiet forest. Alexa narrowed her eyes and asked indifferently. ¡°What is this ce?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t need to know.¡± Terrence exined and walked into the living room on his own. All the furnishings there were exactly the same as those of the Duckdale Vi, and the difference was that there were no servants. Alexa was sure that Terrence must have some strange special hobbies. ¡°From now on, live here. No one else knows about this.¡± Terrence ordered coldly, ¡°If you run around again, I won¡¯t be sure that nothing will happen.¡± Alexa shivered slightly and stepped forward silently, not saying a word. The atmosphere was a little awkward. Terrence stared at her angrily and hesitated to speak. ¡°How long are you going to lock me up?¡± Alexa said as if she was a prisoner. In fact, that was exactly the case. ¡°It¡¯s none of your business.¡± After Terrence finished speaking in a displeased tone, he turned around and left. Alexa sat on the sofa with ridicule on her face. ¡°Terrence, how long do you think you can lock me up?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll do it until you die,¡± Terrence said without looking back. ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa¡¯s tone was gentle, causing the emotions in Terrence¡¯s heart to be even stranger. Terrence mmed the door, and soon the sound of a car starting came from outside. Alexa got up slowly and walked to the kitchen. She had eaten nothing for a day and could faint at any time. Alexa cooked a bowl of spaghetti that was not so delicious and forced herself to eat it. Chapter 164 I¡¯ll Repay What She Owes You Now she was not alone, and there was a child in her belly. Alexa touched her belly withplex emotions, and a crazy idea suddenly appeared in her heart. What if this child was born? The child can apany Keyon in my ce¡­ As Alexa thought, her gaze became more meaningful. She had to find a way to escape! Terrence drove to St. Paolo Hospital. Brynleey on the bed with a pale face. When she saw Terrence, she immediately cried miserably. ¡°Terrence, have you found Alexa?¡± ¡°No.¡± Terrence responded and sat down beside the bed to pull Brynlee into his arms. Although his movements were gentle, there was no trace of tenderness in his eyes. ¡°Terrence, I am really worried about Alexa.¡± Brynlee pretended to cry in sympathy, ¡°Where can she go alone?¡± ¡°Brynlee.¡± Terrence kissed the corner of her eyes gently. ¡°I¡¯ll repay what she owes you.¡± After Brynlee heard this, the hatred in her heart grew wildly. She thought, Terrence will repay it for her? On what basis? What right does that slut Alexa have? Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. ¡°Terrence, I am scared. I may not be able to conceive your child again.¡± ¡°No.¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes were deep and calm, and he hid his true emotions very well. ¡°Brynlee, why did she push you that day?¡± Brynlee was shocked by Terrence¡¯s words. She frowned guiltily and exined nervously. ¡°Terrence, Alexa didn¡¯t like me for having your child, so she¡­¡± ¡°Oh, is that so?¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes narrowed as he was lost in thoughts. Would that woman care about this? Brynlee didn¡¯t dare to talk about this topic anymore. After saying a few perfunctory words, she changed the topic. ¡°Terrence, I am about to recover, and I can participate in the cruise party in two months.¡± Brynlee¡¯s intention was clear. She thought, since that slut ran away, I have to let Terrence propose to me as soon as possible in case anything bad happens again. Brynlee tugged at Terrence¡¯s sleeve and said shyly. ¡°Wedding dress¡­ is ready.¡± ¡°Alright. Brynlee, I promise you happiness,¡± Terrence responded ambiguously. After talking about the proposal ceremony, Terrence left the hospital with a certain excuse. After he left, Brynlee¡¯s face soon became gloomy, and she overturned the vase indignantly. She had said so much just now, but she did not know if Terrence had taken it seriously or not. Moreover, his attitude clearly showed that he did not care about it. Brynlee gritted her teeth with a ferocious expression as an idea appeared in her heart. Could it be that Alexa had returned? Humph! As long as she dares toe back, I will definitely kill her this time! Brynlee contacted someone and said resentfully. ¡°3.2 million dors. Find Alexa and kill her. Is that okay?¡± At that time, Alexa did not know that she was in danger again. She took a quick shower and was ready to take a nap in her thick sleeping robe. Just as shey down on the bed, the door was suddenly pushed open. Terrence did not have the slightest awareness of respecting Alexa¡¯s privacy, and he appeared beside the bed eerily. ¡°Come out.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± Terrence did not repeat it a second time. He directly turned around and left. Alexa quickened her pace and followed him to the living room. Terrence suddenly turned around and grabbed her wrist to take her out. Until she was stuffed into the passenger seat, Alexa still did not understand Terrence¡¯s intention. Terrence locked the car door quietly and drove off with an indifferent expression. Chapter 165 Chapter 165 Chapter 165 He Doesn¡¯t Hate the Child That Much ¡°Where are you taking me?¡± Alexa asked nervously. Terrence had a poker face, was tense, and he said word by word. ¡°To the hospital.¡± ¡°What?¡± Alexa¡¯s face changed, and she subconsciously protected her belly. Thinking of what Terrence had said to her not long ago, Alexa was even more terrified. ¡°Terrence, I¡¯m not going to the hospital! Don¡¯t even think about hurting my child!¡± Alexa said with a trembling voice. Terrence focused on driving and did not answer a single word. Alexa was even more determined in her heart. ¡°Terrence, you have no conscience! This child is my only reliance. What right do you have¡­¡± ¡°How long are you going to mess around?¡± Terrence said somewhat impatiently, ¡°When did I say I would take you to have an abortion?¡± When Terrence finished speaking, Alexa fell silent in an instant. ¡°Then you¡­ ¡°For a check-up,¡± Terrence said with a dark face. At the thought of the child in Alexa¡¯s belly, Terrence¡¯s hostility instantly increased a lot. Alexa was still vignt and protecting her belly, which made Terrence even more displeased in his heart. They had lived together for three years, and Alexa actually thought that he would hurt a fetus. An hourter, they arrived at Montefiore Hospital. Terrence looked unhappy, and Alexa didn¡¯t intend to irritate him again. They walked all the way to the gynecology and obstetrics department in silence. The one who received Alexa was a kind middle-aged female doctor. ¡°Let¡¯s do an ultrasound check first.¡± Alexa followed the doctor inside. Seeing Terrence standing motionless at the door, both Alexa and the doctor were stunned. ¡°By the way, you can alsoe together.¡± The doctor warmly invited Terrence. Before Alexa could say a word, Terrence took a few steps and walked to her side. The atmosphere suddenly became strange. As Alexa was lying on the bed, Terrence¡¯s gaze rested on her lower abdomen. The doctor did not notice the awkward atmosphere between Alexa and Terrence. She sat in front of the screen and said happily. ¡°The baby is well developed. You two can rest assured.¡± When Terrence heard this, his eyes seemed to fill with unknown emotions in an instant. ¡°Thank you, doctor.¡± Hearing his calm voice, Alexa was surprised. It turned out that Terrence would also be normal at the topic of the child. After a lot of checks, Alexa was so tired that her waist hurt. She sat down on a chair in the corridor, and Terrence stood in front of her expressionlessly. There were peopleing and going around. Alexa and Terrence had outstanding appearances, and it didn¡¯t take long for them to attract many curious gazes. Alexa felt a little ashamed, and she was afraid of being recognized. ¡°Go deal with your work. I will go backter and won¡¯t run around,¡± Alexa said carefully. Terrence did not refuse her and said naturally. ¡°I will go get the reports. Wait for me here.¡± ¡°Oh¡­ Okay.¡± Other people probably did not expect that the powerful president of the Hudson Group would actually appear here. Alexa was puzzled. What did Terrence mean? Didn¡¯t he hate the child? There were gradually more people, and Alexa felt it a little stifling. She got up and walked aside. Not far away was a nursery. Through the ss, Alexa could see the nurse taking care of the babies. who had just been born. Seeing such a cozy scene, Alexa subconsciously smiled. ¡°Alexa?¡± A familiar voice sounded behind Alexa. She turned around in surprise. It was actually Kieran. ¡°Dr. Powell?¡± Kieran left the apanying doctors behind and quickly walked forward, holding Alexa¡¯s shoulder in surprise. ¡°Alexa, I didn¡¯t expect to see you here.¡± ¡°I¡¯m here for a checkup. Dr. Powell, why are you here?¡± Alexa said with a gentle smile. Kieran¡¯s expression was a little subtle when he saw the words ¡°gynecology and obstetrics department¡± on the sign. ¡°I came here to exchange and study.¡± Kieran changed the topic. ¡°Alexa, I hope you can reconsider the treatment.¡± ¡°Dr. Powell¡­¡± Facing Kieran, Alexa felt a little guilty. After all, Kieran was sincerely helping her, but she failed to live up to his good intentions. ¡°Kieran!¡± Terrence returned and saw Kieran, letting out a low growl with a sinister expression on his face. He stepped forward and pulled Alexa into his arms overbearingly, forcing her to distance herself from Kieran. When Kieran saw Terrence, he showed no fear at all and stood straight in front of Terrence. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, long time no see.¡± Kieran greeted Terrence with a meaningful smile. ¡°Get lost.¡± Terrence ignored Kieran¡¯s actpletely, and his tone was cold, intending to expose Kieran¡¯s hypocrisy. ¡°You haven¡¯t improved at all.¡± Terrence sneered, ¡°How dare you harass my wife openly?¡± ¡°It¡¯s just a greeting between friends,¡± Alexa said in a low voice. ¡°Friends?¡± Terrence stared at Kieran¡¯s hypocritical face. ¡°Honey, your standard for choosing a friend might as well be stricter.¡± Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. Kieran did not say a word, but his gentle face seemed to have changed a little. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, it seems that you have misunderstood me.¡± Kieran looked at Alexa and said calmly, ¡°Alexa, then I will go to work.¡± Terrence tightened his grip on Alexa¡¯s arms, but Alexa did not care at all. She nodded politely at Kieran with an apologetic smile. ¡°Dr. Powell, I¡¯m sorry.¡± After Kieran left, Alexa looked down at Terrence¡¯s arm that was holding her. She said, ¡°Terrence, please let go of me.¡± Terrence sneered and threw away the reports in his hand unhappily. ¡°If you can¡¯t bear it, then go find him.¡± Alexa sighed weakly and squatted down to pick up the reports. Terrence stood in front of her with a gloomy face. ¡°Alexa, I don¡¯t understand.¡± Alexa¡¯s movements paused slightly. ¡°How can you be so cheap?¡± Terrence¡¯s every word carried a strong hatred. Alexa was almost squatting down to the ground, but he did not feel any pity in his heart. ¡°Yes, you are right.¡± Terrence clenched his fists. In the end, he held back all the unfinished words and walked away without looking back. Alexa tidied up the reports on the ground and walked out of the hospital silently. Terrence¡¯s car had left, and Alexa did not intend to give in to Terrence. After Terrence stepped on the elerator and drove for a while, he suddenly remembered that Alexa did not know the address of the vi. Without any hesitation, he turned around and drove back. However, when Terrence arrived at the hospital, Alexa was getting into a bright silver gray Aston Martin at the roadside. Alexa did not know that Terrence had returned. After sitting in the passenger seat, she did not notice anything strange. Kieran nced at the rearview mirror casually. When he saw the Maybach that appeared like a ghost behind him, he sneered. Chapter 166 Chapter 166 Chapter 166 I¡¯m Not His Toy ¡°Alexa, where are you going?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Alexa was about to answer when she suddenly realized that she did not know where Terrence lived now. ¡°Dr. Powell, can you send me to the nearest hotel?¡± Hearing this, Kieran immediately realized that Alexa was avoiding Terrence. ¡°No,¡± Kieran refused. ¡°It¡¯s not safe for you to live outside alone. You can stay at my house.¡± ©¦Kieran was afraid that Alexa would be embarrassed when she heard this, so he added. ¡°Today, ra is at home. She can apany you.¡± Alexa knew Kieran was good to her, but she was worried that Terrence would hurt Kieran. ¡°Dr. Powell, thank you. But I¡¯d better stay in a hotel.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about me,¡± Kieran chuckled. ¡°I¡¯m not as weak as you think.¡± Alexa looked down worriedly. Her thoughts were all jumbled up and she felt sleepy. Terrence had been following Alexa and Kieran closely. Terrence had a strong personality. He should have elerated Kieran¡¯s car directly, but he didn¡¯t do that. Because Alexa was in Kieran¡¯s car. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. When Terrence thought that Alexa was so ufortable in the car that she kept vomiting, he slowed down spontaneously and followed Kieran¡¯s car. It was alreadypletely dark, and the street lights were on. Terrence held the steering wheel more and more tightly as if it was Alexa¡¯s slender wrist. Her wrist was so tender that it would be livid if it was pinched hard. Terrence followed Kieran for a long time until Kieran drove the car into the private garage. Terrence couldn¡¯t follow Kieran anymore. Then he walked to the door of Kieran¡¯s vi with a long face and rang the doorbell. After a long time, someone finally came out, but it was ra. ¡°Ah, Mr. Ramsey.¡± ra pretended not to know why Terrence ¡°Call Alexa toe to see me.¡± ¡°Alexa? I heard that she has divorced you. You have no right to restrict her liberty.¡± Terrencepletely ignored what ra said. Then he threatened in a cold voice. ¡°If you don¡¯t do this, you can¡¯t afford the consequences. ra smiled, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and said confidently. ¡°Alexa is not in very good condition. If she gets excited, she may bleed heavily.¡± When Terrence heard this, he was distressed. ¡°If you don¡¯t care about her, you can break in and take her.¡± Terrence never cared about Alexa before. But when he heard ra¡¯s words, he was very worried about Alexa and was scared. Alexa was too weak to be stimted again and again. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, just think about it. We are going to have dinner.¡± Although ra said this, she did not intend to give Terrence time to react at all. When she closed the door, she added with a mischievous smile. ¡°By the way, you should leave quickly. Brynlee will be angry you are photographed here by paparazzi.¡± When Terrence heard this, he was furious and clenched his fists. He didn¡¯t expect him to be so concerned about Alexa. After ra closed the door, she walked to Alexa with an innocent smile. ¡°The person who knocked at the door just now was a salesperson. He pestered me for a long time,¡± ra teased. Alexa gave a smile and politely said. ¡°Thank you for taking me here for the night. I will leave tomorrow.¡± ¡°Please don¡¯t say that.¡± ra held Alexa¡¯s hand intimately. ¡°You can stay here as long as you want.¡± Kieran brought the food to the table and then picked up Alexa¡¯s inspection report and scrutinized it. ¡°Things may be harder.¡± Kieran frowned and said, ¡°Being pregnant is risky for you and your condition is very bad.¡± ¡°Dr. Powell, I understand,¡± Alexa said in a low voice. ¡°If I can¡¯t be cured, I¡¯ll give up.¡± ¡°I have already contacted foreign experts. They are now doing their best to develop special drugs. But you may have to wait for some time,¡± Kieran said. ¡°Stop.¡± ra broke the ice. ¡°Let¡¯s eat first. Alexa, you ought to eat more.¡± Alexa ate very little food. She had no appetite and she had been thinking about Terrence. Does Terrence know I¡¯m at Kieran¡¯s house now? If he knew, he would be very angry. ¡°Alexa?¡± Hearing ra¡¯s call, Alexa recovered suddenly. At this time, the doorbell suddenly rang. ¡°It¡¯s veryte now. Who is it?¡± ra muttered and walked over with a cold face. When she opened the door, she saw Terrence. Before ra spoke, Terrence pushed her away and directly walked to Alexa. ¡°Terrence, what are you doing?¡± Kieran growled and immediately walked up to Terrence. Terrencepletely ignored Kieran and ra. He stared at Alexa coldly. ¡°Come back with me.¡± Alexa did not want to reply to Terrence. Terrence is very capricious. What¡¯s wrong with him? He treats me well when he is happy and ignores me when he is unhappy. But I¡¯m not his toy! Alexa was just about to refuse when Terrence suddenly said. ¡°Mom and Dad want to see you.¡± Hearing this, Alexa couldn¡¯t refuse Terrence anymore. ¡°Alright.¡± Then Alexa got up and looked back at Kieran and ra. Terrence nced at the food on the table. When Terrence saw that the te in front of Alexa was heaped with food, he was distressed. ¡°Dr. Powell, Ms. Powell,¡± Alexa said calmly, ¡°thank you for taking care of me. I will go back.¡± Then she supported herself to get up. Terrence immediately held Alexa¡¯s hand tightly. He did it deliberately in front of Kieran and ra. Kieran and ra did not say a word but just watched Alexa and Terrence leave. After a long time, ra chuckled. ¡°Kieran, it seems that you are not easy to deal with Terrence.¡± Kieran took a deep breath and sat down to eat the food on Alexa¡¯s te. On the other side. Just as Alexa sat on the passenger seat, Terrence immediately leaned towards her. She obediently closed her eyes and nned to silently endure his anger. However, Terrence just fastened Alexa¡¯s seat belt and then did nothing. I was thinking too much. Alexa brushed her hair at the temples and said awkwardly. ¡°Why did mom and dad suddenlye back? How are they?¡± Terrence drove seriously without turning to look at Alexa. ¡°They didn¡¯te back,¡± Terrence replied. ¡°They are in good health.¡¯ ¡°You lied to me.¡± ¡°I had to lie to get you home.¡± Terrence¡¯s words didn¡¯t sound like sarcasm, but more like flirting. But Alexa was not happy at all. ¡°Please don¡¯t cheat me with such words in the future,¡± Alexa said word by word. Chapter 167 Chapter 167 Chapter 167 Are You Unhappy? Terrence¡¯s eyes turned cold and he suddenly stepped on the brakes. Alexa almost cried out in rm. ¡°You are very unhappy, aren¡¯t you?¡± The dim yellow street lights spilled in, and Terrence¡¯s face appeared cold and gloomy in the dark, adding a trace of hostility. There were only the two of them in the carriage, and the streets outside were extremely cold. Alexa¡¯s righteous indignation soon weakened. She was somewhat afraid. Terrence stared at her face, making Alexa feel ufortable all over. ¡°Well, not happy.¡± Alexa nodded honestly, ¡°Do you want to drive me out of the car?¡± Alexa¡¯s self-deprecating look pricked Terrence¡¯s heart like a needle. ¡°You are quite proud.¡± As soon as Terrence spoke, the atmosphere was immediately frozen. He was even more upset. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you would go home? So you and Kieran are a family.¡± Alexa was indeed unable to refute it. She lowered her eyebrows without saying anything, her eyshes fluttering. ¡°Say something.¡± Terrence endured his anger and felt irritated. ¡°Are you feeling guilty?¡± ¡°I have nothing to say. It¡¯s all my fault.¡± Terrence was so angry with her, but in the end, he did not say anything. The car started again, and Alexa was so sleepy that she was about to fall asleep. Suddenly, Terrence¡¯s voice came from the side. ¡°What do you want to eat?¡± Alexa was stunned for a moment and turned to look out the window. Terrence must be talking to himself. How could he still be in the mood to talk to her? Not long after, Alexa heard him pull his cor impatiently. ¡°I¡¯m asking you what you want to eat.¡± Alexa instantly came back to her senses and looked at him timidly, her eyes red from the wind. ¡°Oh, me? I¡¯m not hungry.¡± She seemed to wake up from a dream. Terrence grasped the direction te, and his face seemed more solemn. When passing by a western restaurant, Terrence stopped the car. ¡°Get off.¡± Alexa was very obedient. She did whatever Terrence asked her to do. In public, he did not hold her hand. Alexa followed behind Terrence and stared at his broad and solid back, lost in thought. She felt that she was now like a well-trained cat, waiting for her master¡¯s orders at any time. Unexpectedly, he suddenly stopped. Alexa suddenly hit his back and instantly interrupted Terrence. Terrence and the waiter both looked over. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Alexa said weakly, trying her best to hide. Terrence nced at her quickly and casually ordered a few dishes before the waiter left. ¡°Are you peeping at me?¡± ¡°No!¡± Alexa replied firmly, ¡°I just¡­¡± ¡°Just what? Are you thinking about someone else?¡± Terrence asked. ¡°No.¡± Alexa said a few words and then ignored him. Terrence did not mind and ate his food. He ate quickly, but he was elegant enough. Alexa was not hungry, but when she watched Terrence eat, she suddenly gained a little appetite. Before she spoke, he handed over a te of cut steak. ¡°Eat it.¡± Alexa did not stand at the ceremony with him. After all, after getting scolded so many times, she deserved a steak. Knowing that she was timid, Terrence did not say much. Thinking of the table he saw at the Powell family, Terrence called the waiter and ordered a few dishes that Alexa might love to eat based on his impression. ¡°Don¡¯t go back until you are full.¡± Terrence said simply. Alexa timely put down her forks and drank half a ss of coconut milk. ¡°I¡¯m full. Can I go back?¡± Alexa¡¯s positive attitude was abnormal, and Terrence couldn¡¯t help but retort. ¡°We are not going back to the Duran family. It¡¯s the vi you live in now. You have to make it clear.¡± ¡°Yes, I know.¡± Alexa changed three ces of residence, and the concept of home in Terrence¡¯s heart had long been blurred. Now hearing Alexa¡¯s simple response, Terrence put down his knife and fork and was stunned for a moment. After the meal, his mood seemed to have improved a lot. Alexa just got up, and Terrence skillfully wrapped his arm around her waist and left the restaurant in high spirits. ¡°Do you need to take a walk? Will your stomach be ufortable?¡± Terrence asked for the first time. = Alexa shook her head and leaned weakly against the back of the chair. ¡°I¡¯m so sleepy.¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s go home now.¡± The sky was getting darker. When Terrence parked the car at the door of the house, the person beside him had already fallen asleep. He was not impatient at all. Instead, he walked around and gently carried Alexa away. Alexa was very thin. Looking at her thin and peaceful face, Terrence frowned slightly. She did not seem to pay attention to her health at all. The person in his arms trusted his embrace very much. Her face rxed as she leaned against the crook of his arm, hiding her stubbornness and determination. Compared to when she was awake, Terrence preferred the sleeping Alexa. He carried her back to the room and then began to clean Alexa¡¯s body. When he saw the set of neat sleeping robes by the bed, Terrence¡¯s eyes darkened. After thinking for a long time, Terrence began to untie her buttons. He looked very serious. When he saw Alexa¡¯s t belly, Terrence could not move his eyes away. It was hard to imagine that this thin body would give birth to a brand new life. Terrence involuntarily covered his hand on her lower abdomen. The slightly hot touch made Alexa shrink unconsciously. The child in her womb had yet to mature. However, his heart was filled with fear and confusion about this unborn life. Even now, Terrence still did not ept this fact. How could Alexa be¡­ How could she be pregnant with someone else¡¯s child? What was even more unsolvable was that he did not hate her, nor did he have the determination to sever ties with her. She was truly in front of him right now, but he felt so powerless. Terrence hardened his heart and got up, then his wrist was grabbed. He turned around in surprise. Alexa was still sleeping smoothly, but her hand was gripping him tightly. ¡°Alexa?¡± The person on the bed did not react at all. Terrence crouched down and heard Alexa¡¯s soft murmur. ¡°Don¡¯t go¡­¡± ¡°Okay, I won¡¯t go.¡± Terrence responded softly, but Alexa held him even tighter. ¡°Don¡¯t leave me. Don¡¯t leave me¡­¡¯ Alexa¡¯s crying became more and more obvious, and Terrence¡¯s hand was even scratched with blood. But he had no intention of letting go at all. He crouched down beside Alexa¡¯s bed and patiently responded to her ravings. ¡°Alexa, don¡¯t worry. I won¡¯t leave.¡± She seemed to have heard his words, and her voice gradually became lower. Terrence helped her cover the corner of her quilt and suddenly found that Alexa¡¯s face was very red. He immediately put his hand on her forehead, and the temperature there was indeed frighteningly high. ¡°You have a fever. I¡¯ll get the antipyretic.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Terrence touched the hair on her forehead. ¡°I¡¯ll be back soon.¡± Alexa suddenly released her hand and vaguely said some nonsense. Terrence quickly went out to find the antipyretic, and when he returned to the room, Alexa had already fallen under the bed.This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Chapter 168 Chapter 168 Chapter 168 I Am Not Your Servant She bent her legs and hugged her knees, pitifully cowering in the corner. ¡°Take the medicine.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t eat it!¡± Alexa suddenly hid to the side with anxiety. ¡°Are you trying to harm my child? Go away!¡± ¡°I won¡¯t harm you.¡± Terrence grabbed her wrist. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Alexa trembled so much that her panicked little face was covered in tears. ¡°Who are you?¡± She cried, ¡°I don¡¯t know you.¡± Terrence became nervous. He took a few steps back and opened up a distance between him and her. Alexa felt a little safe and looked up at him while sobbing. ¡°Look. It¡¯s me.¡± She indeed looked at him carefully. After a long time, Alexa said in a daze. ¡°Terrence?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± He answered in an unclear mood, and the tension in his heart had vanished. ¡°You have a fever,¡± Terrence exined, ¡°Take the medicine.¡± Alexa sobered up a lot and no longer panicked. She even quickly hid her emotions. Terrence saw the change in her face, and his heart suddenly twisted. As she took the medicine and drank it up, her delicate eyebrows slightly wrinkled. ¡°Have a good rest.¡± Alexa was now dizzy and had a severe headache. She subconsciously followed what Terrence said. After lying down on the bed again, Alexa heard a rustling sound behind her. A momentter, Alexa realized that she had fallen into a firm and warm embrace, and her waist was tightly hugged. ¡°Don¡¯t be like this.¡± Alexa nudged him with her elbow, her voice trembling slightly. ¡°I sweated a lot.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. It means that the fever is gone.¡± Terrence¡¯s low voice sounded in her ears. Alexa felt that her face was burning hot. ¡°Don¡¯t hold me.¡± Alexa was still a little ufortable. ¡°I¡¯m very dirty.¡± ¡°You are not dirty.¡± Alexa did not understand why Terrence suddenly became like this. She was forced to stay in his arms, but her body was stiff and she dared not move. ¡°How much longer do you want to hug me?¡± The words that looked so intimate were spoken seriously by Alexa. But she did not expect Terrence to be angry at all and even tightened his arms around her. ¡°I¡¯ll just hug you. I¡¯ll leave if you fall asleep,¡± he said calmly. Terrence must have deliberatelye to make fun of her. Alexa did not dare to voice her anger and forced herself to close her eyes. Terrence¡¯s hand moved restlessly and he quietly put his hand on her lower abdomen. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Alexa was shocked. ¡°Nothing.¡± Terrence replied calmly, ¡°Are you that afraid of me?¡± Alexa breathed deeply a few times, and her eyes turned red. Terrence moved his wrist, and he rubbed back and forth on her clothes with his warm fingers. ¡°Be good, okay? I promise you and the baby will be fine,¡± he whispered. Alexa ignored him. The medicine soon began to work and she fell asleep quietly. Terrence felt the light and steady breath in his arms and sighed. For the first time in his life, his dark and deep eyes were dyed with a touch of guilt. That night, both of them slept very soundly. Early the next morning, Alexa woke up feeling weak all over. Feeling the warmth on her back, she immediately broke away from Terrence¡¯s embrace as if she was facing a great enemy. Terrence slowly opened his eyes. His gentle eyes returned to their usual coldness. ¡°You didn¡¯t leavest night?¡± A cold question came beside him. Terrence nced over at her unhurriedly, and there was a smile on his face. ¡°Of course.¡± Alexa watched him get up and get dressed vigntly, her head buzzing. Terrence turned his back to her and said thoughtfully. ¡°Don¡¯t stare at me with hatred. It was you who didn¡¯t let me go.¡± ¡°How is this possible?¡± Alexa eximed in surprise. ¡°Don¡¯t you want to deny what you did?¡± Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. Terrence spoke indifferently, and Alexa felt a sense of guilt in her heart. She curled her lips and walked away as if she admitted that she was in the wrong. However, Terrence caught up and grabbed her wrist. ¡°I¡¯ming back tonight. Make dinner and wait for me.¡± Alexa frowned slightly and pulled her hand out forcefully. ¡°Brynlee will wait for you. I¡¯m not your servant.¡± ¡°Are you jealous?¡± ¡°No.¡± Alexa frowned and walked away quickly. Terrence smiled with interest, apparently very satisfied with her reaction. When Alexa tidied herself up and walked to the living room, Terrence just brought the bread. ¡°Come and have breakfast.¡± It was rare for the two to sit together so calmly, but Alexa was indeed hungry. She quietly ate breakfast and didn¡¯t notice that Terrence was secretly sizing her up. ¡°You are alone at home. Do you need someone to apany you?¡± ¡°No need. What¡¯s more, I¡¯m not alone.¡± Alexa said lightly. Realizing that Alexa was talking about the fetus in her belly, Terrence fell into silence. The atmosphere instantly froze. However, Alexa remained unmoved and silently put down the tableware. ¡°I¡¯m full.¡± ¡°You better not have too much hope for Brenton.¡± The cold words came over lightly, forcing Alexa to freeze on the spot. ¡°Don¡¯t think that I¡¯m patient.¡± Alexa murmured and clenched her sleeves. ¡°I know.¡± Unexpectedly, Terrence became even angrier and mmed his fork on the table with a crispy sound. ¡°Alexa, can you speak properly?¡± She trembled slightly, and her face was still stubborn. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, what do you think is speaking properly?¡± ¡°Alexa, how dare you.¡± He sneered sarcastically and suddenly got up to leave. Alexa seemed to have been defeated and did note back to her senses for a long time. After Terrence arrived at thepany, Edwin hurriedly invited him to the reception room. Brenton was sitting on the sofa with a proud look and staring at Terrence with a sinister smile. When enemies met, the atmosphere was frozen. Terrence mmed the door and stared at him coldly. Brenton slowly got up and tilted his head frivolously. ¡°I have nothing to say to you. I will pick up Alexa tomorrow and leave.¡± Terrence sneered, but his voice was extremely aggressive. ¡°Brenton, you¡¯re talking nonsense.¡± ¡°It¡¯s my baby in Alexa¡¯s womb. Even so, don¡¯t you mind it at all?¡± Brenton sneered confidently. Terrence¡¯s eyes were deep, and his face was terrifying. ¡°So what? Do you think I will let her give birth to that child?¡± ¡°Terrence, are you crazy? Do you know that she¡­¡± Just as the truth was about to be blurted out, Brenton suddenly stopped talking with a strange look on his face. Terrence¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly, and he red at Brenton with a cold and gloomy gaze. ¡°If you don¡¯t want her to die, you better return her to me.¡± Chapter 169 Chapter 169 Chapter 169 The Hospital ¡°What do you mean?¡± Terrence was angry, his fists were clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white. Brenton sneered proudly, obviously grasping his weakness. ¡°That¡¯s all I want to say. Mr. Ramsey, make your choice.¡± Brenton swung his hand and left in a carefree manner. Terrence stood where he was like an iceberg, and it took him a full two minutes to calm down. Alexa was lying to him! He walked away gloomily, but he did not expect Brynlee toe straight at him. ¡°Terrence.¡± Brynlee called out softly in front of everyone and stepped forward to hold Terrence¡¯s arm. She wore a long white dress today, ingeniously showing a delicate and sickly beauty. ¡°I have almost recovered. I came to thepany to see you.¡± Terrence nced at her lightly and pursed his thin lips in F anger. ¡°Terrence, I just met Brenton¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to a meeting now.¡± Terrence pushed her hand away indifferently. ¡°Go to the office and wait for me.¡± Brynlee¡¯s sickly face silently shed with a trace of ruthlessness. But in the end, she still smiled sweetly and nodded obediently and sensibly. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll wait for you.¡± Terrence did not seem to care about her words and walked away very indifferently. After Brynlee hid in the office, her delicate face instantly changed. She angrily dialed the phone and immediately cursed. ¡°What the hell are you doing? Why is Alexa not dead yet!¡± ¡°Ms. Walton,¡± the person on the line said with sinister, ¡°in addition to Terrence, she is still being watched by the Darrell family and the Powell family. It¡¯s too difficult to finish her.¡± ¡°Even if it is not easy, you have to do it. Otherwise, you know the consequence.¡± The man sneered, ¡°Then I need another 5 million dors.¡± ¡°5 million dors? Are you crazy?¡± Brynlee eximed with a ferocious face. The man did not give her a chance to bargain and hung up the phone directly. Brynlee fell to the sofa with a pale face, her lips trembling with anger. Where was she going to get 5 million dors for them? Her parents wouldn¡¯t be willing to spend the money¡­ Brynlee thought for a while and looked at the desk not far away. At this moment, in the main meeting room. Edwin stood behind Terrence and finally mustered up the courage to ask. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Ms. Walton is not pregnant. Why are you¡­¡± Terrence red at him suddenly. Edwin was shocked and immediately shut up. ¡°Investigate all the hospitals that Alexa has been to. I want to see the result this afternoon.¡± Alexa lied to him for so long in secret! After Terrence finished the meeting, Brynlee could not wait to catch up. ¡°Terrence, Mr. Lambert is throwing a party today. Can I go with you?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Terrence responded absent-mindedly, and he had long been distracted. The party at night was held at the same ce as before. When Aron knew that Terrence wasing, he made a big show of extravagance. ¡°Terrence,¡± Aron greeted with familiarity, ¡°it¡¯s been a long time since west met, but you are still so handsome.¡± Terrence had always been cold and indifferent, and he did not intend to reply to this polite greeting. However, Brynlee smiled sweetly and responded with ease. ¡°Mr. Lambert, you looked good. I heard that you have got some big orders recently.¡± Aron did not like Brynlee, especially whenpared with Alexa. Aron didn¡¯t know why Terrence always stayed with this filthy model for so many years. ¡°No, no.¡± Aron¡¯s response was perfunctory. ¡°Ms. Walton, thank you for your concern.¡± Brynlee became solemn. ¡°Please go upstairs. Everyone is here.¡± Aron had practically invited all of the noble young men in New York, and the most prestigious person among them was Howard Sterling. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, it¡¯s a pleasure to meet you.¡± Howard handed over the business card. Terrence nced at it and did not take it. Aron was used to it and said. ¡°Howard, never mind. We all know each other.¡± Howard didn¡¯t mind and quietly retracted his hand. After looking around, Howard inadvertently asked. ¡°Why isn¡¯t Brenton here? I remember that he has already returned from abroad.¡± The atmosphere at the scene froze. Aron felt that an iceberg was emitting a monstrous chill. Aronughed dryly, ¡°Are you familiar with him?¡± Brynlee quietly sized up Terrence and wanted to watch the show. Howard did not notice that something was wrong at all. ¡°Mr. Darrell,¡± Howard said proudly. ¡°We have even cooperated before. It is also rare to see such an affectionate person.¡± ¡°Affectionate?¡± Aron said with a fake smile. Interesting. ¡°He loves his first girlfriend very much and has been writing for her. I heard that he is going to get married now.¡± songs ¡°Boom.¡± Terrence mmed the wine bottle on the table to the ground. His face turned gloomy as he stood up and his malicious gaze fixed on Howard. ¡°Who did you hear it from?¡± ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Brynlee hugged his arm nervously. Aron suddenly had a breakdown in his brain, and then he remembered something important. Wasn¡¯t Brenton¡¯s first girlfriend Alexa? Howard was stunned in ce with a nk mind, and the others didn¡¯t dare to say anything to mediate. ¡°Mr. Sterling, we all hope that Alexa can marry a good guy. But there is no conclusion to this matter now. Please don¡¯t say that.¡± ¡°Ms. Walton, what do you mean by this?¡± ¡°What I mean is Alexa¡­¡± Brynlee deliberately paused in embarrassment, ¡°Alexa is a very good friend of ours.¡± Friend? Terrence¡¯s reaction didn¡¯t indicate he was just Alexa¡¯s friend. ¡°It¡¯s a small misunderstanding.¡± Aron tried to warm the vibe and followed Terrence out of the private room. ¡°Terrence, don¡¯t be angry, okay?¡± Brynlee clutched the corner of his clothes tightly. ¡°I don¡¯t mind. Even if you still love her, I don¡¯t mind.¡± Terrence suddenly stopped and turned back with a solemn look in his eyes. ¡°You can leave. I¡¯ll get someone to send you back.¡± ¡°Terrence, why do you always push me away?¡± Brynlee sobbed in pain, ¡°I love you so much. She is the one who cheated!¡± ¡°Ms. Walton, there is a lot of paparazzi here. To avoid trouble, I¡¯ll get someone to send you back first.¡± ¡°Terrence¡­¡± ¡°Let¡¯s talk about itter.¡± Terrence said coldly and went straight to another room. After Aron dealt with the matter, he rushed back sweating profusely. And in just ten minutes, Terrence had finished six bottles of whiskey. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Terrence, are you alright?¡± Aron quickly took the other bottles away. ¡°Are you crazy?¡± Terrence leaned on the sofa and pinched the space between his eyebrows in difort. ¡°Where is Alexa?¡± Chapter 170 Chapter 170 Chapter 170 Take My Fianc¨¦e Away ¡°Alexa?¡± Aron probed. Seeing that Terrence¡¯s expression was not unhappy, Aron immediately rxed. ¡°I¡¯ll go and invite Alexa right away.¡± Not long after, Alexa came to the clubhouse alone. She was almost asleep when Aron¡¯s phone woke her up. Alexa was gloomy, but when she saw Aron standing at the door with a smile, she instantly softened a little. ¡°Where is he?¡± ¡°Alexa, I¡¯ll take you there now.¡± Aron led the way in a ttering manner. In Aron¡¯s eyes, Alexa was like a savior. Aron always suffered when Terrence and Alexa quarreled. A momentter, Aron opened the door for her. ¡°Alexa, Terrence is inside. He was a little drunk.¡± Alexa frowned slightly, and a strange emotion shed in her clear eyes. ¡°The car has been arranged outside the door. I will go.¡± Aron gave a few simple instructions and then slipped away. Alexa sighed silently and entered the room nervously. The door suddenly closed, and she immediately took a few steps back in fear. Terrence leanedzily against the door, with a hint of danger in his blurred eyes. ¡°Why are you here?¡± His tone was very arrogant. So, the sympathy in Alexa¡¯s heart instantly disappeared. ¡°Do you think I want to meddle in your affairs? It was Mr. Lambert who asked me toe.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Terrence¡¯s lips curved up slightly, and a yful smile appeared on his face. Alexa froze on the spot, feeling like a clown being fooled. Her heart had long been numb from the pain. ¡°He said that you were drunk.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± k Terrence casually replied and suddenly changed the topic. ¡°But what does this have to do with you?¡± ¡°Of course, it has nothing to do with me.¡± Alexa stubbornly looked down and walked towards the door. ¡°So, I will go back now,¡± she said word by word. ¡°If there is anything in the future, just let him contact Brynlee.¡± Terrence stood by the door, and his dark eyes were fixed on Alexa. She frowned in disgust. She said in a muffled voice, ¡°Please get out of the way.¡± ¡°Alexa, do you know that you look like you¡¯re jealous right now?¡± ¡°No,¡± Alexa retorted unhappily and repeated. ¡°Get out of the way.¡± ¡°Interesting,¡± Terrence frivolously whispered. Then he suddenly caught Alexa by her shoulders. In the blink of an eye, Alexa was pressed against the wall by him. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Alexa grunted, and her eyes immediately turned red. Terrence took a step closer and raised his hand to hold Alexa¡¯s angry face. ¡°Why are you so stubborn?¡± Terrence seemed to be muttering to himself, ¡°Why don¡¯t you admit it?¡± ¡°What do I have to admit? Terrence, let go of me!¡± Terrence paused for a moment and suddenly gritted his teeth with a slightly fierce expression. ¡°You smiled so happily in front of those people. What about in front of me?¡± ¡°Terrence, you¡­¡± Alexa was so angry that she choked her words, and the tears in her eyes were looming. The tensionsted for a long time. In the end, Terrence sighed helplessly. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Terrence tidied up his clothes and pulled open the door. Alexa nervously followed behind him, her gaze somewhat evasive. Terrence walked in the dazzling light, still maintaining his usual gentle and cold appearance. Everything just now was like a dream. Aron immediately came to them. When he saw the red marks on Alexa¡¯s face, there was some surprise in his eyes. ¡°Terrence, Alexa,¡± Aron smiled and rubbed his hands. ¡°The car is ready. Pleasee in.¡± When Alexa followed them out, a silver-gray Koenigsegg stopped at the door in a high-profile manner. Terrence¡¯s face instantly turned cold, and he stared at the person who came out of the car with hostility. Brenton was dressed in a tailored silver-gray suit, and his handsome face added a bit of mature and noble charm. He walked up to Alexa casually and said with a smile in his charming eyes. ¡°Alexa.¡± ¡°Mr. Darrell, long time no see. Are you free toe and y today?¡± Aron interrupted loudly. ¡°Not ying.¡± Brenton nodded politely. ¡°I came specifically for Alexa.¡± Hearing this, Terrence could no longer suppress his anger and directly pulled Alexa into his arms. Seeing that, Brenton gritted his teeth with a fake smile on his face. ¡°Get lost.¡± Terrence frowned gloomily, and his cold eyes were filled with killing intent. ¡°I¡¯m here to take my fianc¨¦e away. What does it have to do with you, Mr. Ramsey?¡± ¡°Brenton¡­¡± Alexa silently read out his name, and a look of disbelief shed across her face. She wondered what Brenton was doing. Before she could think about it, Terrence¡¯s hand on her waist suddenly tightened, and Alexa¡¯s face immediately turned pale from the pain. ¡°Let her go!¡± Brenton¡¯s face immediately clouded over. ¡°Heh,¡± Terrence sneered disdainfully. ¡°How dare you order Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. me?¡± Aron noticed that the atmosphere was getting more and more strange, so he hurriedly spoke up. ¡°Everyone, calm down. If there¡¯s anything, let¡¯s talk about it.¡± ¡°Terrence, I have nothing to talk about with you.¡± Brenton looked up casually. ¡°You are just the ex- husband of Alexa. Why are you still pretending?¡± Alexa¡¯s throbbing heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously bit her lip. Terrence didn¡¯t seem to have signed the divorce agreement yet. ¡°Do you have the right to care about it?¡± Terrence nced sideways indifferently. ¡°Ridiculous.¡± Brenton ignored Terrence. He turned to Alexa and extended his hand affectionately to her. ¡°Alexa. Can you give me two minutes?¡± Terrence was silent, obviously not intending to let her go. Alexa¡¯s gaze lingered awkwardly. Then she said, ¡°If there is anything, just say it here.¡± ¡°I think you don¡¯t want others to know.¡± Hearing this, Alexa immediately understood what Brenton wanted to say. She subconsciously moved her feet, clearly bing nervous. But Alexa¡¯s actions in Terrence¡¯s eyes were simply disgusting. He pulled his hand away in disgust and arrogantly squeezed out a few words. ¡°Go if you want to.¡± Brenton¡¯s smile deepened, and Alexa believed Terrence¡¯s words. ¡°Just two minutes.¡± After saying this, she hurriedly walked towards Brenton. Terrence red at Alexa from behind with his sharp eyes, and his anger kept growing. He thought, well, good job! She believed it! Brenton and Alexa had already walked several feet away. ¡°If you have anything to say, just say it. I don¡¯t want to cause trouble for you.¡± ¡°Alexa! Do you know why I say that this child is rted to me?¡± Before Alexa replied, Brenton casually exined. ¡°Because I want to test whether Terrence treats you sincerely or not.¡¯ ¡± Alexa thought, is that necessary? Alexa felt bitter in her heart. She and Terrence were obviously at loggerheads. Their rtionship was terrible. ¡°Is it worth it? You are sacrificing so much for him.¡± Chapter 171 Chapter 171 Chapter 171 The Only Chance Brenton¡¯s question hurt Alexa. Alexa lowered her head guiltily, unable to say a word. Why did she do so much for Terrence? Alexa didn¡¯t know the reason. Knowing that she would get nothing and hurt herself, she still went all out. Alexa thought, maybe I¡¯m just so stupid. Before Alexa could answer, the person not far away suddenly shouted gloomily. ¡°Alexa!¡± She turned her head in fear and thest glimmer of hope in her heart instantly disappeared. ¡°I¡¯m going over. You should go back too.¡± ¡°Alexa¡­¡± Brenton took a big step forward and held her hand without hesitation. His eyes were full of concern and humility. ¡°Go with me, okay?¡± Alexa nced at Terrence, who was walking towards them, when she turned back to look at Brenton, there was no emotion in her eyes. ¡°No.¡± Hearing her brief rejection, Brenton felt that his heart instantly shattered to pieces. ¡°Alexa, this is the only chance.¡± As soon as Brenton finished speaking, Terrence had already walked up to them and held Alexa in his arms. ¡°Finished talking?¡± Terrence said, suppressing his anger. ¡°Yes, we¡¯re done talking.¡± Alexa weakly looked down, obediently staying in Terrence¡¯s arms. and Seeing this scene, Brenton was so jealous that he was about to go crazy. ¡°If you¡¯re done talking, then scram.¡± Terrence stared at Brenton with dark eyes. If Alexa wasn¡¯t present, he couldn¡¯t guarantee what he would do. Brenton¡¯s face was pale, but a momentter, his hands hanging by his side slowly rxed, and his expression returned to normal. ¡°Don¡¯t becent. The days are still long,¡± Brenton said with a faint smile. ¡°But what can you change?¡± Brenton didn¡¯t reply to him and turned to look at Alexa. ¡°Alexa, I hope that you will be happy every day. See your again.¡± After that, Brenton turned around and got into the car without looking back. He soon disappeared into the bright night. Terrence¡¯s face instantly turned cold, and he grabbed Alexa¡¯s hand. Alexa ran to catch up with his footsteps, and her eyes were still a little red. Aron smiled and said goodbye to them. Before Alexa could respond to him, Terrence pressed her into the car. After the door closed, his cold aura became obvious. Alexa did not dare to meet his cold eyes and stubbornly leaned to the side, closing her eyes. Terrence was about to explode from anger, but Alexa was so cold to him. He felt worse. ¡°Speak,¡± he said in a low and impatient voice. ¡°Can¡¯t you say anything in front of me?¡± Alexa did not answer, and Terrence did not give her time. ¡°What did you talk to Brenton about? ¡°Want him to take you out? How is that possible?¡± Terrence kept talking and found that his anger was out of control. He hated Alexa for having an affair with another man, for throwing herself at another man, and for secretly nning to escape him! The hatred in Terrence¡¯s heart was like an executioner, about to kill all of the hope of Alexa. But before he could do anything else, Alexa suddenly sobbed weakly. Terrence¡¯s mind, which was about to copse, returned in an instant, and he immediately sat up. Alexa leaned against the seat and curled up tightly. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Terrence felt nervous somehow. ¡°My belly hurts¡­¡± Terrence¡¯s expression changed, and he quickly started the car. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the hospital now. Don¡¯t be afraid.¡± Alexa breathed weakly and felt a wave of warmth slowly flow out of her body. Terrence sped up all the way to the hospital, and when he got out of the car to pick Alexa up, he touched something wet and warm. A terrible idea urred to him. Terrence did not have time to hesitate. He picked her up and ran to the emergency room. When Alexa woke up, it was already noon the next day. The familiar smell of disinfectant greeted her again, and Alexa felt a little nauseous. Someone sat by the bed. Noticing her movements, he immediately got up. When Alexa saw Terrence, her sickly face showed a trace of fear. But she soon discovered Terrence¡¯s strangeness. His originally neat suit was a little messy at the moment, and there were dark circles around his eyes. Alexa immediately knew that he didn¡¯t have a good rest. Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°You have been here all this time?¡± Alexa asked tentatively. Terrence did not answer this question but poured a cup of warm water for her. ¡°The doctor said there were signs of miscarriage, but it¡¯s fine now. Take care of yourself during this period of time,¡± he calmly exined the situation. Hearing this, Alexa unconsciously covered her lower abdomen with her hand under the quilt. So this child was still in her belly. Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Terrence did not say anything more. ¡°We¡¯ll see after the inspection report is out. I will go to thepany to have a meeting.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa nodded. Feeling the existence of the baby, she felt much better. After Terrence took care of everything, he left the ward reluctantly. Soon, he came back with an exquisite lunch box. ¡°I know you are not used to the food in the hospital. I asked the chef at home to make it.¡± While speaking, he ced a few bowls and tes on the table. in the ward. Then he pulled a chair and sat down on it beside the bed. ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you to finish eating before leaving. Alexa gave a taste of the congee. It was indeed the taste of Duckdale Vi. Her stomach was not feeling well, so she ate very slowly. But Terrence was not impatient at all. Instead, he patiently sat there and watched her eat. Alexa was a little perturbed. She put down the tableware and asked. ¡°Have you eaten?¡± ¡°No.¡± Terrence shook his head lightly, ¡°I¡¯m not in a hurry.¡± Alexa knew that it was impossible for him to eat the food she had eaten, so she picked up the egg on the side. After carefully peeling it, she tentatively handed it to Terrence. He was obviously stunned. Looking at the egg in her delicate hand in front of him, he was somewhat at a loss. Alexa thought that he was unwilling to take it and was about to take her hand back, but Terrence took the egg away to her surprise. ¡°You still care about me?¡± Terrence said happily. He was in a good mood. Alexa blushed at his words. She hurriedly shifted her attention and continued to eat the food in her bowl. After the simple but warm lunch, Terrence picked up several calls and hurried to thepany. Alexa stood on the balcony and walked slowly. The door of the ward was suddenly pushed open. She turned around. She did not expect it to be Brynlee. ¡°Alexa, it¡¯s so difficult to find you.¡± Brynlee entered the room with a sneer and approached Alexa with a gloomy face. ¡°I heard you are pregnant?¡± Brynlee gritted her teeth and squeezed out a few words, ¡°Is it Terrence¡¯s child?¡± ¡°What does it have to do with you?¡± Alexa subconsciously took a step back. ¡°Terrence is not here, and I won¡¯t be polite to you.¡± ¡°Heh, how can Terrence let you give birth to this bastard?¡± Brynlee smiled smugly and suddenly changed the topic. ¡°Let me take care of you for him.¡± Previous Chapter Next Chapter Chapter 172 Chapter 172 Chapter 172 On Purpose ¡°Brynlee¡­¡± Alexa eximed in a low voice when Brynlee pounced on her viciously. ¡°Alexa, why don¡¯t you die!¡± Brynlee hysterically screamed and reached out to scratch Alexa with her sharp nails without hesitation. Alexa tried her best to resist Brynlee. When they were in a deadlock, Brynlee suddenly kicked Alexa. The sharp heel of Brynlee¡¯s shoe hit Alexa¡¯s leg. Alexa felt pain and then immediately fell to the ground. Brynlee took the opportunity to grab Alexa¡¯s hair and violently dragged Alexa from the ground. ¡°Alexa! Go to hell!¡± ¡°Alexa.¡± 1 A familiar voice came from the door. Brynlee was frightened and instantly threw Alexa away. Alexa hit the side of the bed squarely and broke out in a cold sweat from the pain. Rebekah and Jason saw a mess when they entered the ward together. ¡°Alexa!¡± Rebekah eximed. She immediately ran to help Alexa up and asked, ¡°Are you alright?¡± ¡°Rebekah, Jason¡­¡± ¡°What was going on?¡± Jason asked seriously. Brynlee, having fallen to the ground, suddenly choked with sobs. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Mrs. Ramsey, I need your help!¡± ¡°Brynlee, why are you here?!¡± Rebekah appeared unkind and red at Brynlee. ¡°I came to see Alexa. I didn¡¯t expect her to fight me!¡± Alexa hadpletely calmed down. Although she heard Brynlee¡¯sint, she was very calm. ¡°Brynlee, it was you who attacked me.¡± ¡°Alexa, you lied!¡± Rebekah felt heartbroken when she saw the scratches on Alexa¡¯s wrist. Rebekah swore angrily, ¡°How could you say such nonsense! If we had not arrived in time, what would you have done to Alexa?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± ¡°Ms. Walton, Terrence is deceived by you. But we will not believe you.¡± Although Jason did not show his emotions, he looked so authoritative that Brynlee felt guilty and unable to speak. ¡°Ms. Walton, if you do not apologize, you will be in court.¡± ¡°Alexa, Terrence won¡¯t forgive you for harming me like this.¡± Hearing Brynlee talk about Terrence, Alexa unconsciously wore a smile. Jason was furious and asked, ¡°How dare you talk about Terrence? Haven¡¯t you broken up yet?¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Terrence loves me very much. We will not be separated.¡¯ ¡°You are so stubborn!¡± Tension was built up in the ward. Brynlee smiled proudly as if she would be certain to win. Alexa whispered, ¡°Jason, Rebekah. It¡¯s my fault. Please don¡¯t Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. be angry anymore.¡± ¡°Alexa. Don¡¯t say that. This is not your fault.¡± Rebekah defended Alexa. Alexa nced at Brynlee calmly, not taking her seriously at all. ¡°Actually, I am pregnant¡­¡± ¡°Alexa, what did you say?¡± Rebekah stood up in surprise and looked at Jason with tears of joy. Rebekah and Jason were so happy. Jason, who had always been calm, even looked very pleased. ¡°Alexa, is that true? That¡¯s great!¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Alexa smiled happily and nced at Brynlee carefully. Brynlee¡¯s expression altered as if she had been pped in the face by Alexa. ¡°Ms. Walton, are you very unhappy?¡± ¡°Alexa, you¡­¡± Brynlee choked and felt herself looking disgraceful. ¡°Even if you are pregnant, Terrence will not admit it!¡± Alexa froze and felt her heart being stabbed. Rebekah pointed at Brynlee and cursed, ¡°The matter of the Ramsey family is none of your business! Get out of here. Or I will call others to drive you out!¡± Brynlee was so ashamed by Rebekah¡¯s words to lower her head and leave. Alexa sat quietly, feeling very sorry for these two elders. ¡°Rebekah, your condition¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me. I have already been cured. Your Jason and I are very well. Why didn¡¯t you tell us such a big thing?¡± Rebekah kindly held Alexa¡¯s hand. ¡°Jason, Rebekah, I¡¯m really sorry.¡± ¡°We¡¯re a family. Don¡¯t regard us as outsiders. You don¡¯t have to worry about Terrence. We¡¯ll be with you.¡± Jason knew Alexa¡¯s worry. ¡°That heartless guy!¡± Rebekah cursed angrily and immediately phoned Terrence. ¡°Alexa, don¡¯t be afraid. We will support you.¡± The call was then answered. ¡°Terrence! Get the hell back here!¡± In the meeting room of Hudson Group on the other end of the line, the executives were all holding their breath and looking at Terrence¡¯s changing expression. Terrence could not say a word until being scolded by his mother for three minutes. He looked gloomy. In the end, he answered, ¡°Got it.¡± When Terrence arrived at the hospital, the three people in the ward were chatting andughing. Alexa often answered with a bright smile. Terrence quietly stood at the door and watched for a while. Finally, he had to break the harmony. He asked in a business-like manner, ¡°What is it?¡± Hearing Terrence¡¯s words, Alexa immediately stopped smiling and subconsciously looked down. Alexa thought Terrence would be furious if Terrence knew that she chased away Brynlee with the child. ¡°What is it? Terrence, what were you saying? You are simply the greatest shame of the Ramsey family!¡± Jason pped the table in anger. Terrence had long since been immune to these meaningless words and indifferently turned to look at Alexa. Terrence thought, is she feeling guilty? Terrence concealed his true emotions and silently listened to his nagging parents. Rebekah shouted, ¡°I have never met such a thing! Brynlee, a mistress, even dared toe to bully your wife!¡± Terrence moved a chair and sat in front of Alexa. He looked straight at Alexa¡¯s face. ¡°Why did Brynlee attack you?¡± ¡°Terrence!¡± Rebekah secretly threatened Terrence. However, Terrence did not care. He was determined to get an answer from Alexa. ¡°Alexa,¡± Terrence said in a low voice. ¡°Alexa is in a bad mood right now. Don¡¯t provoke her.¡± Jason tried to persuade Terrence. Terrence turned angry. ¡°Alexa, why don¡¯t you tell me? Why don¡¯t you say that you are bullied or unhappy?¡± At Terrence¡¯s constant questions, Alexa finally gave her reply. ¡°Fortunately, Rebekah and Jason arrived in time. I¡¯m all right now.¡± Hearing Alexa¡¯s nonsense, Terrence couldn¡¯t help but chuckle. He said coldly, ¡°I believe Brynlee didn¡¯t do it on purpose. You should just be a little more careful.¡± ¡°Terrence, what nonsense are you saying!¡± Rebekah instantly pped the table and stood up, her chest heaving violently. Only Alexa was calm throughout the whole process. She seemed to care about nothing. ¡°Alexa, did you hear what I said?¡± Chapter 173 Chapter 173 Chapter 173 Stop Crying Alexa seemed to be unable to feel the noises. She calmly met Terrence¡¯s cold gaze, and the pain in her heart had already be numb. ¡°Ok, sorry to trouble you.¡± After speaking, she saw Terrence¡¯s face get sullener. The two elders were extremely angered by him, so they sermonized Terrence for a while. In the end, Rebekah forcefully said, ¡°We will hold a dinner party tomorrow. You and Alexa have to attend.¡± ¡°Mom, what do you want to do?¡± Terrence asked resignedly. ¡°What do I want? It is certainly to announce this happy event,¡± Rebekah said firmly. She also wanted Terrence to give up his wishful thinking. Then, the two elders were busy learning the pieces of knowledge of nutritionists, childminders, and so on. Terrence¡¯s face was extremely sullen. Alexa looked away indifferently, and the ends of her eyes were faintly red. After an intravenous drip, they went home together. Under the supervision of his parents, Terrence did not speak to Alexa all the way. Alexa sat in the front passenger seat, looking like a fragile porcin doll. ¡°We have decided to give 15 percent of Hudson Group¡¯s shares to Alexa. What do you think?¡± Jason asked casually. Terrence was expressionless as he replied indifferently. ¡°You can decide.¡± Alexa was in horror. She said nervously, ¡°Jason, Rebekah, I don¡¯t need shares. I¡­¡± ¡°Alexa, this is what you deserve.¡± Rebekah nodded kindly, ¡°After we pass away, Hudson Group will belong to Terrence and you.¡± Alexa knew they did this for the sake of her baby, so she felt even more guilty. Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. My baby cannot even be admitted by its father¡­ Alexa refused in every possible way and did not notice Terrence¡¯s face was getting more and more sullen. On returning to the vi, Rebekah took Alexa to the room. ¡°Alexa, I have something to speak to you about privately.¡± Alexa looked up and gazed at her in surprise. Rebekah took out a delicate agarwood box from her handbag. There is an elegant white jade bracelet inside the ck box. ¡°Rebekah¡­¡± ¡°This bracelet was given to me by my mother-inw.¡± As Rebekah spoke, she held Alexa¡¯s hand and put the bracelet on her wrist. ¡°Now I have passed it to you. It¡¯s pretty suitable for you,¡± Rebekah smiled happily. ¡°Rebekah, I can¡¯t ept such a precious thing.¡± ¡°Alexa, I want you to understand only you can be Mrs. Ramsey, the next hostess of the Ramsey family.¡± Alexa felt speechless as if a huge rock was pressing down on her heart. ¡°Your father and I promise you, no matter when, you are the daughter-inw of the Ramsey family. You have suffered so much over the years.¡± Alexa looked down and suddenly wanted to shed tears. She certainly felt wronged. I used to be an apple of my parents¡¯ and brother¡¯s eyes, but now I¡¯m in such a poor state. ¡°Rebekah, it¡¯s all in the past.¡± ¡°I understand your thinking.¡± Rebekah suddenly changed the topic, and a shrewd twinkle shed in her eyes. ¡°I promise you when this child is born, Terrence will definitely pay attention to your child and you.¡± Hearing this, Alexa felt bitterly disappointed. Although she said so much, her final intention was still to use my baby to threaten Terrence. After telling everything necessary, Rebekah finally left at ease. Alexay on the bed, and the waves of panic made it difficult for her to fall asleep. Not long after, the door lock softly rang, and Terrence surprisingly came in and stood at the foot of the bed. It was sunset, and the afterglow gently sprinkled into the room, and the coldness on him seemed to vanish. Terrence saw the jade bracelet ced on the cab, and an unknown twinkle shed in his deep eyes. ¡°Has mom given you this bracelet?¡± Alexa turned her back to him. ¡°I won¡¯t ept it. You can take it away,¡± she said in a deep voice. ¡°Alexa, do you hate me so much?¡± ¡°Terrence, you are so strange!¡± Alexa couldn¡¯t bear it anymore, so she sat up and looked like an angry little deer. ¡°From the beginning, you are always doing whatever you want! Why are you ming me now?¡± she shouted in a low voice. Terrence was surprised for seconds and took a few steps closer. ¡°I can do whatever I want? I asked you to have an abortion, but you didn¡¯t do that.¡± He said in a cold and evil voice. ¡°No way!¡± Alexa was so angry that she grabbed a pillow and threw it at Terrence. Terrence did not dodge and took the chance to pounce on her. Alexa was confined in a corner by him, and her tears dropped on her clothes. Terrence sneered. ¡°You were very forceful just now! Why are you crying now?¡± he said in a half-joking manner. ¡°Go away!¡± Alexa hit him with her palm and grabbed his tie angrily. Terrence lowered his head. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, what are you trying to do?¡± He teased her intimately. ¡°Terrence, I am not joking with you! If you don¡¯t go away, I will¡­¡± Alexa threatened strictly. ¡°Strangle me?¡± Terrence looked up calmly. ¡°Alexa, you are murdering your husband.¡± Alexa was disgusted by him and shook off his tie with a cold face. Terrence¡¯s yful face returned to normal quickly. He sat at the bedside and dressed up, ncing sideways at Alexa. Alexa¡¯s eyes are still full of tears, and her pale face makes her look wronged and pitiful. ¡°Stop crying,¡± he said a little awkwardly. Terrence knew he should please her, but he didn¡¯t know how. ¡°It¡¯s my fault. Don¡¯t cry.¡± Alexa wiped away her tears, then covered her mouth and ran into the bathroom. When Terrence went over, he heard several painful vomiting sounds. ¡°I¡¯ll get you some water.¡± ¡°No need¡­¡± When Terrence came back, Alexa was leaning against the bed and swallowing a few pills. ¡°What are you eating?¡± He suddenly asked. Alexa put away the medicine bottle indifferently. ¡°Medicine.¡± Terrence quickly walked over and stretched out his hand. Alexa coldly refused, ¡°No need, it¡¯s just the abortion prevention medicine prescribed by my doctor.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Terrence was still persistent. ¡°Let me have a look.¡± Obviously, he did not believe her. Alexa was silent as she was in a deadlock with him. Suddenly, she boldly said, ¡°Terrence, you don¡¯t have to care so much.¡± After that, someone knocked on the door. ¡°Alexa, Terrence, it¡¯s time for dinner.¡± Rebekah¡¯s voice stopped Terrence¡¯s anger. He nced at Alexa coldly and turned to leave without a word. Alexa followed behind him with a faint smile on her face. No matter how apart we couples are, in front of the two elders, I must pretend to be a perfect daughter- inw. Chapter 174 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!¡± This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. 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.¡± Chapter 175 Chapter 175 Chapter 175 How Can You Be Bullied? Having said that, Alexa was not willing to call Terrence. Alexa knocked on the door of the study and waited for a long time, but there was no response. It seemed that there was no need to call Terrence. Alexa was about to leave when the door suddenly opened slightly. A strong arm immediately pulled her in. ¡°Terrence!¡± Alexa grunted in anger. ¡°What are you making noise about?¡± The man¡¯s voice was hoarse, with a hint of morbid exhaustion. Alexa sensed that something was wrong and looked at Terrence awkwardly. ¡°What happened to you?¡± ¡°Nothing.¡± Terrence frowned and turned away somewhat impatiently. ¡°Are you sick?¡± ¡°No.¡± Terrence casually tidied up the desk as if he was looking for something. ¡°Don¡¯t dy if you are not feeling well.¡± Alexa paused and said, ¡°Mom and Dad will worry about you.¡± Terrence threw away the document in his hand carelessly, and a strange look shed in his eyes. ¡°You don¡¯t care about me, do you?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Alexa pursed her lips, ¡°I just want you to see a doctor.¡± Terrence chuckled and pulled a chair over to sit down in front of Alexa. ¡°Who are you to make me go to a doctor?¡± Alexa was speechless. It was simply ¡­ impossible tomunicate with him! Alexa turned around and left. She hadn¡¯t gone far when Terrence caught up and grabbed her hand. ¡°Did I give you permission to go?¡± Feeling his hot body temperature, Alexa was startled. ¡°What are you trying to do?¡± Alexa asked, puzzled. ¡°I want to take medicine.¡± Alexa waspletely speechless. Why was Terrence like a willful child? ¡°What is ailing you?¡± Alexa asked patiently. Terrence did not answer. He directly grabbed Alexa¡¯s hand and pressed it on his forehead. ¡°I¡¯m not feeling well all over.¡± Alexa quickly retracted her hand and muttered in shock. ¡°Got it.¡± Terrence clenched his hand tightly as if he could still feel the cool scent of bellflower. Not long after, Alexa returned with the medicine. ¡°Hurry up and take the medicine.¡± ¡°My hands are weak. Feed me.¡± Alexa did not expect Terrence to be so insatiable. Wasn¡¯t he very strong when he grabbed her just now? Alexa was about to simply leave, but Terrence came forward to hold her wrist, and he made her feed him the medicine in this way. ¡°Thank you, Mrs. Ramsey,¡± Terrence said half-jokingly and half-honestly. ¡°I¡¯m leaving.¡± Like a satisfied cat, Terrence was finally willing to let Alexa go. Alexa immediately left without looking back, the suspicious blush on her face simply trying to cover up the obvious. ¡°Alexa, how is Terrence?¡± Rebekah asked. Alexa was like a thief who had been caught on the spot and suddenly became nervous. ¡°He¡­ is much better.¡± ¡°Yes, she is right.¡± The warm palm suddenly pressed on top of Alexa¡¯s head, and Alexa immediately froze. Terrence looked at Alexa with a smile and said in a cool and ambiguous tone. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, thank you for taking such good care of me.¡± ¡°You¡¯re wee,¡± Alexa mumbled. Rebekah and Jason looked at each other and smiled. The air was suddenly filled with sweetness. Alexa was angry but did not dare to say anything. Terrence was totallyying a trap for her by doing this! ¡°Alexa, how do you feel about it?¡± Terrence leaned close to Alexa¡¯s ear and said in a lowered voice. ¡°Not so good. 11 Alexa replied unhappily and boldly pushed Terrence away. ¡°Boring.¡± When Terrence heard her evaluation, he smiled brighter and brighter. After breakfast, Terrence went to thepany with Jason. Alexa apanied Rebekah to the coffee shop together. Rebekah lived a very delicate life. Alexa was ashamed of herself in front of her. ¡°Alexa, for tonight¡¯s banquet, I sent invitations to the Walton family.¡± Alexa was calm as she gently curved her lips. ¡°I will follow your arrangements.¡± ¡°Alexa, I will only teach you once. You have to watch carefully.¡± After drinking the coffee, Rebekah took Alexa to the top-level Haute Couture Club. Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. Alexa wanted to keep a low profile, but Rebekah picked a slim fishtail dress for her, which could show the curve of Alexa¡¯s lower abdomen. ¡°You must make Alexa the most amazing person at the banquet.¡± ¡°Got it.¡± The designer responded confidently. Not long after, more than ten assistants carefully carried out a set of jewelry. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, this is Mr. Ramsey¡¯s custom-made ¡®Kiss of Rose¡¯ for you, worth 32 million dors.¡± Alexa knew that Rebekah did it instead of Terrence. However, Rebekah only nodded and smiled faintly. She did not feel that there was anything wrong with it. After the design was done, the luxurious Rolls-Royce fleet slowly started and set off for the brightly lit Caiden Hotel. Terrence was already prepared, but when he saw Alexa, he was a little surprised. The delicate fishtail dress made Alexa¡¯s figure and temperament very fantastic. Alexa walked over from the bright red carpet like a deity descending to the world. The shing lights around were so bright that it was like daylight, but Alexa was not shy at all and walked to Terrence¡¯s side in a natural and graceful manner. Terrence quietly hid his emotions and entered the hall with Alexa in a noble and cold manner. As soon as she entered the hall, Alexa felt a calm gaze. Alexa slightly tilted her head and met Kieran¡¯s smiling eyes without any precautions. Terrence felt that Alexa was in a daze, so he gritted his teeth and said. ¡°Alexa?¡± Alexa calmly retracted her gaze with an indifferent smile. ¡°You better not think about anything else,¡± Terrence threatened coldly. ¡°Otherwise, I will deal with Kieran in person.¡± Alexa lowered her eyes and a beautiful figure suddenly stood in front of them. Brynlee wore a purple gold dress and looked pitifully at Terrence. Alexa nced at Brynlee lightly and stared at the jewelry that she was wearing. There was actually a second set of ¡°Kiss of Rose¡± that was worth 32 million dors. ¡°Terrence, I received an invitation from Mrs. Ramsey. She has already epted me, right?¡± Terrence¡¯s face was as cold as ice, without a trace of emotion. ¡°Why are you still with Alexa tonight?¡± Brynlee was about to cry. ¡°Did I do something wrong to make you angry?¡± ¡°Brynlee, why do you have such a shameless nature?¡± Terrence listened with great interest when he heard a cold question from his side. ¡°Alexa, what are you saying? I don¡¯t understand what you mean.¡± ¡°You are a shameless home wrecker, understand?¡± Alexa said word by word clearly, without the slightest timidity of backing down. Brynlee almost killed her child! ¡°Are you mistaken?¡± Brynlee looked at the people around her awkwardly. ¡°Terrence, we are about to get engaged. How can I be a home wrecker?¡± The more Brynlee spoke, the more aggrieved she became. In the end, she directly cried. Alexa coldly looked at Brynlee and did not feel that she was pitiful at all. ¡°Brynlee!¡± The Walton couple aggressively stepped forward to protect Brynlee. ¡°Brynlee, you are the apple of our eye. How can you be bullied here!¡± Emely hinted, staring meanly at Alexa. Chapter 176 Chapter 176 Chapter 176 Who Are You to Lecture Her? ¡°Ms. Duran, how can you be so cruel?¡± Emely whispered sadly ¡°Brynlee just lost her child with Terrence, and now you can¡¯t wait to show off Alexa smiled disdainfully She looked ruthless ¡°Terrence,¡± Alexa said intimately, ¡°what do you think: Terrence looked down at Alexa¡¯s brilliant smile One became who he spent his time with ¡°What¡¯s going on over here?¡± There came a clear voice. Rebekah held Jason¡¯s hand and walked over in a high profile manner, attracting almost all the attention ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this Emely?¡± Rebekah greeted Emely familiarly With that, Brynlee stepped forward She nodded obediently ¡°Hello, Rebekah Hello, Jasoli.¡± Jason kept looking at Rebekah fondly, ignoring Brynlee Rebekah smiled at Emely and said sarcastically. ¡°You¡¯re a different person these days. You are the legal wife You¡¯re talking to us with such confidence.¡± Emely looked down sullenly. She felt hatred and anger, but she didn¡¯t dare to burst out. Emely lived in the shadow of Rebekah because she didn¡¯t seed in seducing Jason before. Then, she became Gavyn¡¯s lover! ¡°You owe it all to your parents. Brynlee swallowed the anger indignantly. Tears ran down her cheeks. Rebekah looked on coldly and sneered. ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Brynlee said carefully, ¡°Why don¡¯t you talk?¡± ¡°Terrence, she is talking to you.¡± Alexa looked innocently at Terrence. ¡°Today, you must give me an exnation!¡± Gavyn suddenly shouted in a threatening manner. ¡°You dare to bully the Walton family!¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes became a bit colder. He stared at Gavyn in a threatening manner. ¡°Alexa, how can you be so shameless!¡± ¡°Who do you think you dre?¡± Terrence asked coldly. Gavyn did not expect that Terrence would pull the rug out from under. He was speechless for a long time. ¡°Are you lecturing her?¡± ¡°Terrence Emely smiled obsequiously and was frightened by Terrence¡¯s cold eyes ¡°You think you are somebody?¡± Terrence¡¯s coolness was overwhelming, and he was furious Gavyn stubbornly put on airs, but his tone was much softer ¡°You proposed the engagement, and now you regret it?¡± Rebekah smiled, and her tone became subtle. ¡°Of course, we will repay you for your kindness. Let¡¯s make it clear on the spot about the engagement.¡± Alexa¡¯s eyelids gave a sharp jerk. ¡°Ms. Walton, this way, please.¡± Suddenly called by Rebekah, Brynlee was happy In front of so many people, they would not dare to break the marriage! Thinking that Alexa would have an egg on her face, Brynlee smirked Rebekah hield her hand and brought Brynlee to Alexa and Terrence. ¡°From today on, we are a family¡± ¡°Rebekah .¡± Brynlee was a little surprised She did not expect Rebekali to be so straightforward. But Rebekah calmly looked up and smiled From now on, you are our foster daughter. Terrence and Alexa are your brother and sister inw¡± Content held by N?velDrama.Org. What? Brynlee was taken aback and broke down People around started gossiping Emely was furious. ¡°How can you go back on your word?¡± Gavyn cursed ¡°You said Brynlee was Terrence¡¯s fiancee, and now she is your foster daughter!¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Jason nodded slightly ¡°It¡¯s high for you ¡°Terrence!¡± Brynlee grabbed Terrence¡¯s arm in exasperation Terrence tell me That¡¯s not true!¡± Terrence coldly tilted his head and pushed Brynlee¡¯s hand away ¡°We¡¯ll settle it like this. That¡¯s it,¡± Terrence said coldly. Brynlee red at Alexa angrily. The guests around couldn¡¯t stand it either ¡°You are too unreasonable! How can you have the cheek to go on for so long? ¡°That¡¯s right Mr Ramsey and Mrs Ramsey live a good life. Why do you want to be hus fianc¨¦e?¡± ¡°What do you know?¡± Brynlee screamed in anger. ¡°Terrence, I have once been pregnant with your baby. But Alexa killed our baby!¡± With that, all around was miffed. Those who were speaking up for justice just now were shocked and speechless. In the awkward silence, Rebekah suddenlyughed loudly ¡°Brynlee, how long are you going to y?¡± ¡°Rebekah, how can you say that¡­¡± ¡°Oh, I was afraid you¡¯d forget the truth, so I brought your diagnosis report ¡°Impossible.¡± Brynlee weakly took a few steps back. She did not dare to look at Terrence. ¡°Impossible?¡± Terrence smiled faintly. Rebekah frowned and handed over the report in her hand. The minute Terrence looked at the report, everyone was very nervous. Alexa nced at it inadvertently and happened to see the conclusion ¡°Not pregnant Terrence casually read out these words Gavyn and Emely were shocked. ¡°What can you say now that it¡¯s done?¡± ¡°Terrence, it¡¯s not like this! The hospital must have made a mistake Terrence, you have to believe me!¡± ¡°You probably don¡¯t know ¡°Terrence smiled faintly, that night, I wasn¡¯t drunk at all. ¡°Tertence You You lied to me. Brynlee fell to the ground with a trembling voice All the ns in her mind fell apart. ¡°How shameless you are!¡± With that, the bodyguards on standby rushed forward to chase them out After the farce ended, the surrounding guests also dispersed, as if nothing had happened just now Alexa looked on indifferently Alexa did not pity Brynlee, but she was even more afraid of Terrence Brynlee boasted that she was Terrence¡¯s beauty, but in the end, Terrence could cleanly give up her From the way he reacted, it was clear Terrence knew about it When Alexa came back to her senses, she was alone with Terrence ¡°What are you thinking about? Terrence asked calmly Terrence Lam thinking Alexa uttered with difficulty and looked up at Terrence ¡°Did you love her Terrence did not answer and just took a sip of champagne Alexa, you shouldn t ask that question ¡± Chapter 177 Chapter 177 Chapter 177 Old Sweetheart There was no disappointment on Alexa¡¯s face but the loneliness that she hid silently. Terrence suddenly grabbed Alexa¡¯s hand and saw a middle aged man in a white suit ¡°Mr. Winston.¡± ¡°Terrence.¡± Mike Winston patted Terrence on the shoulder and then looked at Alexa briskly. ¡°This is your wife, right? Terrence, you are lucky Terrence nodded faintly and did not answer anything else As Terrence was not going to introduce Alexa, she felt very helpless. Mike had a strong background and was on a different level from the other guests Even if Terrence did not want to cooperate with Mike, it was bad to offend him With that, Alexa lit up her courage and calmly said ¡°Hello, Mr. Winston. I am Alexa Duran.¡±¡® ¡°Alexa,¡± ¡°Mike said in a subtle tone and nodded happily ¡°Good name However, Terrence looked cold. He took Alexa into his arms possessively Before Alexa could react, she heard Terrence coldly say. ¡°We have to go Excuse me.¡± Mike was not angry. He remained calm Alexa was taken to the lounge by Terrence in fear. ¡°Terrence, what are you doing?¡± Alexained. ¡°That¡¯s Mr. Winston. You¡­¡± ¡°Idiot!¡± Terrence gritted his teeth and looked at Alexa sullenly. ¡°You are the idiot!¡± Alexa retorted. ¡°Brynlee was driven away, so you vented your anger on me, right?¡± What the hell was this? Terrence sighed helplessly and pressed Alexa against the wall. ¡°What are you thinking?¡± ¡°What am I thinking about?¡± Alexa looked away ¡°thit the nail on the head, right? If you dare to do anything to me here¡­¡± Before Alexa finished, Terrence sneered. She fell silent. After a moment of silence, Terrence tapped Alexa¡¯s forehead with his finger ¡°Stop talking nonsense. You don¡¯t even know when people are plotting against you ¡°I¡¯m not that stupid.¡¯ Alexa gave a blunt exnation and understood that Terrence was talking about Mike just now Terrence was very serious. ¡°Mike is not a good person. Don¡¯t get involved with him.¡± ¡°What is his background?¡± ¡°Want to know?¡± Terrence looked at Alexa¡¯s curious expression and did not know how to answer her Alexa was protected very well, and she always thought about things so simply. ¡°You don¡¯t need to know so much. Just listen to me ¡± Alexa hummed andpromised. When they pushed open the door and came out, they happened to meet Kieran standing at the door. Terrence calmly looked at Alexa with a yful smile on his face Alexa silently looked at Kieran for a few seconds. ¡°Kieran.¡± There came a gentle female voice. Rita Bailey quickly walked over to Kieran and held onto his arm ¡°Hello, my name is Rita Bailey.¡± With that, Rita looked back at Kieran. ¡°Kieran, let¡¯s go.¡± Kieran did not say anything and left with Rita indifferently Until Kieran and Rita disappeared around the corner, Alexa still did not know what was going on. ¡°You are loath to part with him?¡± Terrence sneered sarcastically. Alexa calmly withdrew her gaze and nced at Terrence indifferently. ¡°Do you know that girl?¡± Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Alexa!¡± Terrence said in a dissatisfied voice. ¡°Is it my duty to know your old sweetheart?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not what you say,¡± Alexa exined calmly ¡°Can¡¯t you give me some trust?¡± ¡°Trust? You are pregnant with Brenton¡¯s child, and you want to talk about trust with me?¡± As soon as Terrence mentioned it, Alexa felt a burst of nausea. Alexa covered her mouth and retched in panic. Terrence suddenly became cold ¡°Since this baby is none of your business, you have no control over my decisions.¡± ¡°Alexa, don¡¯t forget that we have not divorced yet.¡± Alexa choked and did not say anything more. She left gloomily Terrence followed behind Alexa gloomily. After they came out, the banquet was close to the end ¡°Mrs. Ramsey.¡± The waiter hurried over. ¡°Someone is looking for you outside.¡± ¡°Chase him out,¡± Terrence ordered coldly. ¡°We don¡¯t want to see him.¡± Alexa pursed her lips in embarrassment and quietly nced outside the door. After they got in the car, Alexa noticed a voice in the distance. Terrence stood in front of Alexa coldly. ¡°Get in the car.¡± ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Alexa muttered. Her eyes fixed on the figure in the distance. It was that man¡­ ¡°Alexa, get in the car.¡± Terrence became a little urgent. He was always in Alexa¡¯s way and refused to let her see that person ¡°Terrence, let me go over Alexa¡¯s voice was trembling. She pushed Terrence away with all her strength and ran over with hurried steps. ¡°Stop her!¡± Terrence gave the order, and arge group of bodyguards blocked Alexa Alexa finally saw Keyon¡¯s face across the crowd Keyon was wearing a deep ck trench coat, which looked particrly lonely in the bright night scene. The wide brim of his hat was slightly raised, and his hideous scar looked even more terrifying. Alexa looked at Keyon, but she was very nervous. Alexa had confirmed many times that it must be Keyon Keyon stood alone in the light, slowly looking up in this direction Keyon The name came back to life now, but it stuck in Alexa¡¯s throat like thorns ¡°Keyon, is that you?¡± Alexa steadied herself and shouted. With that, Alexa fell into Terrence¡¯s arms and was carried back by him. ¡°He has nothing to do with you. You are mistaken.¡± ¡°Terrence, let me go!¡± ¡°He is Keyon, my brother, right?¡± Asking this question, Alexa didn¡¯t believe it very much. If that was Keyon, how could he be indifferent? ¡°No.¡± Terrence answered decisively. The dark car window blocked the scene outside. Alexa trembled coldly, and her heart ached. ¡°Of course, I will tell you when I find Koyon.¡± Terrere¡¯s words made Alexa even more frantic ¡°Sorry, I was impulsive just now.¡± Keyon did not have a scar on his face. Terrence¡¯s face seemed dull and unclear in the dim carriage. He took off his coat and put it on Alexa The car suddenly shook violently. ¡°Sorry, Mr. Ramsey,¡± the driver said nervously. ¡°There¡¯s a car following us.¡± Chapter 178 Chapter 178 Chapter 178 It¡¯s All Like a Dream Terrence frowned and he was furious. ¡°Take the back roads,¡± Terrence ordered coldly. ¡°Have Edwin send more people ¡°Yes.¡± Cold sweat was seeping out of the driver¡¯s forehead. Although he looked calm, he was nervous For so many years, this was the first time they had encountered such a troublesome situation! In the rearview mirror, there were more and more ghost like ck cars, closely following behind them. They pretty much got rid of all of Terrence¡¯s guys So silent! How powerful he was! The driver pressed the elerator to the floor with feignedposure. The atmosphere in the car was oppressive Terrence, however, did not let go of Alexa for a moment. His deep eyes were fixed on her hand. ¡°Are you afraid?¡± ¡°Life and death are decreed by fate.¡± Alexa¡¯s pale little face was suffused with a light smile. ¡°I have nothing to be afraid of.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you care about your baby either?¡± Alexa smiled helplessly and sorrowfully. It had exhausted all of her strength. ¡°It was a misfortune that I brought it to the world¡± This child was destined to have no parents¡¯ love in its life. Alexa suddenly felt that she was stupid. Why did she want this innocent child to be her spiritual sustenance? But¡­ Why was Alexa reluctant? Alexa was cold all over her body, but her eyes watered. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid,¡± Terrence said softly but firmly. ¡°You¡¯re gonna be fine ¡± The rar shook for a long time Alexa did not know what was going on outside until the driver stopped the car smoothly. ¡°Mr Ramsey, we have gotten rid of them¡± 2 The driver got out of the rat and opened the door, but this was not the entrance of the vi Alexa got out of the car with Terrence and looked around tentatively There were dense forests everywhere The trees were tightly grown. There was no road in front There was a loud explosion in the distance as if the two forces were fighting ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid.¡± Terrence clenched Alexa¡¯s hand and subconsciously blurted out Alexa had never experienced such a situation. She was afraid ¡°Mr. Ramsey, you and Mrs. Ramsey leave first I will cover the rear Terrence did not hesitate and calmly brought Alexa into the jungle In the quiet dark forest, there were only their footsteps, which sounded eerier and eerier ¡°Terrence¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m here.¡± ¡°Who sent those people?¡± When Alexa finished, Terrence was silent for a long time ¡°If you can¡¯t tell me, then forget it.¡± ¡°There are many people who want to kill me,¡± Terrence teased. ¡°Do I need to know who it is?¡± ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°In any case, I will take revenge indiscriminately.¡± That was right¡­ This was Terrence. Alexa endured the difort and followed Terrence¡¯s footsteps, stopping her words in time. Terrence suddenly stopped and squatted down, not allowing Alexa to refuse. ¡°Come up, I¡¯ll carry you.¡± ¡°No need,¡± Alexa refused stubbornly. ¡°I can do it myself.¡± ¡°In a big forest, there are all sorts of birds,¡± Terrence whispered. ¡°There may be mice, poisonous Snakes ¡± There was a rustling sound behind them Alexa obediently got on Terrence¡¯s back ¡°Don¡¯t scare me,¡± Alexa grunted Terrence snickered and took a quick step ¡°Let¡¯s talk about it when we get home ¡°Go home?¡± Alexa was very surprised ¡°Go back from here? ¡°Our home is over there¡± ¡°OK.¡± Alexa replied softly, feeling, a sense of security The world was so big, and there was a ce called ¡°home¡± waiting for Alexa Terrence¡¯s pace was not fast, but steady After a long time, there was a glimmer of light in the forest ¡°Is it going to be dawn?¡± Alexa asked. ¡°It¡¯s still early ¡® ¡°Someone ising!¡± Alexa cried out in a panic. A roar hysterically tore through the silence of the night. The white light hit them. Terrence reacted and quickly dodged it Alexa¡¯s stomach was in turmoil. She was so ufortable that she almost vomited. But the chill on Terrence¡¯s body made Alexa shiver. A heavy motorcycle was arrogantly stopped in front of them. The man straddled the motorcycle, and the ck mask of his helmet made him look dangerous and mysterious. ¡°It¡¯s you!¡± Alexa was nervous. ¡°You were the man¡­ ¡°What do Content held by N?velDrama.Org. you want?¡± Terrence faced the man and asked coldly, blocking in front of Alexa. ¡°What?¡± The man chuckled and tore off his helmet. The man¡¯s pale face was engraved with a ferocious scar that ran from his temple to his jaw. However, the man looked gentle. If he had changed into a suit, he would have been a gentleman ¡°Terrence, you tell me what I want to do!¡± Seeing Keyon, Terrence restrained the surprise in his eyes. Alexa couldn¡¯t control herself and staggered back a few steps in shock ¡°You¡­¡± Alexa¡¯s voice trembled. She was speechless. Tears welled up in her eyes ¡°Keyon!¡± Alexa called the name through her gritted teeth and sobbed weakly. Keyon restrained his hostility, and his firm eyes were filled with a touch of heartache ¡°Alexa. ¡± Keyon called Alexa like before. Between them stood Terrence, and everything had changed. Seeing Alexa¡¯s slightly swollen belly, Keyon wanted to rush up and kill Terrence This bastard¡¯ ¡°I came back to pick you up.¡± Keyon looked at Alexa dotingly ¡°From now on, I won¡¯t let you suffer anymore.¡± ¡°Who allowed you to take her away?¡± Terrence said coldly. ¡°Terrence, you have no business getting involved in our family affairs.¡± ¡°We are legally married,¡± Terrence sneered. ¡°You have no right to take care of our affairs, right?¡± ¡°You¡­¡± In an instant, the atmosphere was tense. There was a timely movement in the depths of the forest. Keyon instantly changed his attitude and looked at the person with cold arrogance and dignity. ¡°Mr. Duran, we have cleared out those people.¡± ¡°Well.¡± Keyon slowly nodded. ¡°Retreat.¡± Alexa subconsciously took a step forward, seemingly wanting to call Keyon, but Terrence stopped her. Dozens of people silently disappeared into the dense forest, like a fading night. ¡°It¡¯s all like a dream¡­¡± Alexa murmured in a low voice and hugged herself with her arms crossed. Alexa had imagined her reunion with Keyon many times. But Alexa never expected to meet Keyon in this way, and to leave in this way. Alexa didn¡¯t even have the time to call Keyon. ¡°Terrence.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Terrence stepped forward to press Alexa¡¯s shoulder, but Alexa quietly dodged and stood opposite him. ¡°I hope you can tell me the truth¡± ¡°Is the truth important to you?¡± Attention Avoid other websites because I am the only one who worked hard and providing Many websites are copying this novel.. if you don¡¯t bookmark my site, i will stop uploading this book.

As time went by, Terrence couldn¡¯t help feeling increasingly disappointed. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°When will you let me go?¡± Terrence didn¡¯t expect that Alexa would say these words in the end. In an instant, he became irritated. He turned around and gave a mocking smile He sneered, ¡°Do you think he is able to beat me now?¡± Alexa lowered her head and did not make a sound. Terrence squinted at her. Then, he said in a cold voice, ¡°Alexa, are you kidding me?¡± Alexa was confused by Terrence¡¯s reaction. She wanted to say something, but Terrence ignored her and turned around to leave directly. Being at the edge of the forest, it would take about another ten minutes to go back to the vi Instead of following Terrence, Alexa stood barefoot on the ground with shors in her hand Keyon¡¯s reappearance was like a dream for Alexa. She failed to regain herposure for a while She felt alternately hot and cold, and she was so dizzy that she wanted to vomit. Soon, Terrence disappeared into the forest, and the morning light dripped through the leaves Alexa stood in ce. After waiting for a long time, she heard the roar again. Not long after, Keyon appeared alone in front of her ¡°Why don¡¯t you go with him?¡± Alexa looked at the person in front of her with red eyes. She could hardly hold back her tears. anymore ¡°Keyon¡­ As soon as Keyon heard Alexa¡¯s voice, he failed to keep cold He had no time to care about the subordinates behind him and got out of the car to put Alexa in his Arms ¡°Alexa¡­¡± Being in Keyon¡¯s warm embrace and hearing lus hurried call, Alexa could no longer suppress her sorrow. She burst into tears. ¡°Where did you go? Why did youe back sote?¡± Keyon felt bitter for her and whispered, ¡°It¡¯s my fault. Many things have happened over the years. I¡¯ll tell you slowly in the future.¡± Alexa looked up at the scar on Keyon¡¯s face with pity. Keyon subconsciously lowered his head to avoid Alexa¡¯s gaze He said in a low voice, ¡°Alexa, let¡¯s leave here.¡± Alexa silently shed tears and nodded sadly. Without hesitation, Keyon gently picked Alexa up and walked out of the forest. He made up his mind not to let go of Alexa¡¯s hand anymore. When Terrence reached the vi, he didn¡¯t enter it. As he paced around the entrance of the forest, his face turned gloomy. He wondered, it has been a long time Why hasn¡¯t Alexa caught up yet? It¡¯s a short distance, isn¡¯t it? Will she get lost? The more Terrence thought about it, the more worried he became However, he was still angry at Alexa It was she who did not understand his kindness and had been wanting to escape Terrence was so furious that he decided to leave her alone for a while to calm herself down He wished that she could realize how stupid she was Surprisingly, half an hour had passed, but Alexa did not appear Terrence dialed Edwin¡¯s number in anger He ordered with a serious expression, ¡°Go and ask someone to find Alexa Bring her back to me right now!¡± Edwin immediately did as Terrence said. However, no matter how hard he and others tried, they were unable to find Alexa. As the sun went down, he came to report to Terrence Edwin said in a trembling voice, ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Mrs. Ramsey has been taken away. ¡°What did you say?¡± Terrence asked through his gritted teeth. Hearing his words, Edwin felt under huge pressure and could hardly breathe. He said in a flurry, ¡°We discovered many tire tracks in the forest¡± Edwin wondered who exactly took Alexa away How dared the person offend Terrence? Alexa woke up and found herself lying in bed. She was in a strange room, but she had a good rest. Just as she washed up and got changed, Alexa heard someone in the kitchen. When Alexa went into the kitchen, she saw Keyon, who was dressed in casual clothes and an apron, cooking frantically. There came nks now and then. Alexa could tell that his cooking skills had not improved at all. ¡°Keyon ..¡± Hearing Alexa¡¯s voice, Keyon turned around and smiled apologetically. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡­¡± Whenever he had mood swings, the scar on his face would twist. Whenever Alexa looked at it, she felt heart wrenching. Keyon whispered apologetically, ¡°I just bought the house, and I haven¡¯t prepared anything yet. I¡¯m sorry.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Alexa held his arm and put on a tender smile. ¡°What are you talking about? I am truly satisfied that we can meet again Keyon was pleased to hear what Alexa had said. He broadened into a smile. ¡°How about we eat out? The restaurant you like should still be ¡°Alright.¡± ¡°Wait for me for a second.¡± After he finished speaking, Keyon quickly returned to his room. open¡± When he came out again, he got changed into a suit. His handsome face was covered with a ck. mask. Keyon said with a smile, ¡°Alexa, I covered the scar. In this way, I won¡¯t bring you any trouble.¡± ¡°Keyon, don¡¯t say that anymore. In my mind, you are as good looking as before Alexa stepped forward and held his hand. She said with her tearful eyes, ¡°I¡¯ll never feel embarrassed because of you. ¡± Keyon patted the back of her hand to soothe her, but he didn¡¯t take off his mask. By the time he drove to the restaurant from memory, he saw a mall. Alexa eximed, ¡°It has changed into a mall. There are great changes in the city.¡± ¡°You have been in New York for three years, haven¡¯t youe here?¡± } Alexa didn¡¯t get his unspoken message and replied, ¡°No, Terrence didn¡¯t allow me to go out.¡± In an instant, Keyon put on a long face. ¡°Alexa, it was all my fault. I didn¡¯t protect you well.¡± Alexa pushed open the car door and said casually, ¡°Let bygones be bygones. We can go to the mall to buy some food I haven¡¯t eaten at home for a long time.¡± Mond behind her. He exined timely, ¡°I ammunicating with the court. We can move back to our vi soon.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± As she spoke, Alexa held his hand. ¡°Keyon, I¡¯m so happy that you came back. Wherever you are, it¡¯s my home.¡± Just then, Terrence¡¯s luxury car stopped at the side of the road. When he saw Alexa and Keyon, his face was dark with rage. He wondered, Alexa, how dare you! How could you flirt with another man in public? Chapter 180 Chapter 180 Chapter 180 I Can Hardly Breathe Alexa and Keyon on the opposite side of the road didn¡¯t notice Terrence¡¯s gaze. It didn¡¯t take long before they disappeared into the crowd. Alexa hadn¡¯t been shopping in the mall for a long time, let alone with Keyon She walked carefully and her attention was always focused on Keyon. ¡°Alexa, I suppose you didn¡¯t have a happy life these years.¡± Keyon raised the topic, his expressionplicated as he looked at Alexa¡¯s lower abdomen. Alexa noticed his gaze and inadvertently forced a smile. ¡°It¡¯s Terrence¡¯s child.¡± Hearing this, Keyon stopped. The darkness in his eyes deepened. ¡°But I didn¡¯t tell him. I think he has always thought that it¡¯s Brenton¡¯s child.¡± ¡°Alexa, Terrence is not your Mr. Right.¡± ¡°I understand, so I don¡¯t have too many expectations.¡± Keyon frowned, obviously unable to ept this situation. Alexa put on an easy smile and held Keyon¡¯s hand tightly. ¡°Keyon, I am hungry. Let¡¯s go to the mall quickly.¡± Alexa acted cute. Keyon sighed helplessly and reluctantly stopped talking. After entering the mall, Alexa began to be in a good mood. She carefully selected a lot of ingredients. Because she just moved into a new house, she picked up some daily necessities. ¡°Keyon, you did not take good care of yourself.¡± Alexa tried her best to keep calm, but tears welled up in her eyes. In thest three years, they had all changed a lot. Keyon followed by her side. He was tall and he became mature and calm. ¡°From now on, we will never be separated again.¡± ¡°I want to give birth to this child¡­¡± Alexa knew that it was too irrational for her to do this. Now that Keyon had returned, she hoped this child couldfort him. Keyon was surprised, but he quickly rxed. ¡°I respect your decision.¡± As long as Alexa was happy, no matter what, Keyon would do his best to satisfy her. ¡°Nothing is going on between Terrence and my child,¡± Alexa said firmly. ¡°It is my child.¡¯ ¡°Yes.¡± Keyon smiled with indulgence and soon epted the child. When passing by a maternal and infant store, Keyon took the initiative to walk in. ¡°Keyon¡­¡± Alexa blushed and said in a low voice, ¡°It¡¯s too early.¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to be an uncle. I have to get ready early.¡± ¡°We don¡¯t know if it¡¯s a girl or a boy.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± After Keyon finished speaking, an enthusiastic saleswoman came up to greet them. Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. The two distinguished customers were a beautiful couple, and the young saleswoman couldn¡¯t help but admire them. ¡°Mr. and Madam, are you preparing for your baby girl or baby boy?¡± ¡°Baby girl.¡± Keyon blurted out without thinking. ¡°She is as smart and beautiful as my sister.¡± When Terrence caught up with them, he happened to see Alexa pick up a baby suit with a smile. He gritted his teeth and quickly stepped forward with anger. ¡°Alexa!¡± Hearing this low shout, Alexa and Keyon looked over at the same time. Keyon instantly became gloomy. The bodyguards brought by Terrence immediately surrounded the store, and the atmosphere was deathly silent. The saleswoman was frightened by this scene and looked at Alexa and Keyon in confusion. ¡°Get out!¡± Terrence ordered in a cold voice. The others in the store immediately ran out in silence, and the mall was quickly clear. Alexa was still holding the cute baby suit, and she looked at Terrence calmly. ¡°What do you want to do?¡± Keyon asked coldly, standing in front of Alexa firmly. ¡°Get out.¡± Terrence said coldly, ring at Keyon with hostility ¡°Keyon.¡± Alexa whispered worriedly and subconsciously grabbed Keyon¡¯s arm. This actionpletely drove Terrence out of his mind. ¡°Alexa,e here.¡± ¡°Terrence, I won¡¯t go with you anymore.¡± Alexa said those decisive words, but her tone was a bit weak. Terrence sneered, his eyes dark with ruthlessness. ¡°It seems that you have someone protecting you. How dare you talk to me like this?¡± ¡°Terrence, pay attention to your words!¡± Keyon growled in anger, his eyes red. After being tortured for all these years, Keyon had been rough and tough. As long as Alexa asked, he could rush up and knock down Terrence at any time. ¡°My words?¡± Terrence sneered, ¡°You are not qualified to challenge me. You can¡¯t stop my taking her away.¡± ¡°Alexa, don¡¯t be afraid. I won¡¯t let him take you away.¡± Alexa took a step back and looked at Terrence in despair and indifference. Terrence was sick! It was he who had abandoned me as though I am nothing, and now he is forcing me back in public. Terrence¡¯s bodyguards were all well-trained mercenaries. If Terrence waspletely angered, then Keyon would be in danger. Alexa quietly groped around the table. When she touched something, her eyes were suddenly filled with hate. Terrence noticed her movements, but he did not have the time to stop her. The next second, a sharp knife was held to Alexa¡¯s throat. ¡°Alexa!¡± ¡°Alexa!¡± Terrence and Keyon shouted at the same time, but Alexa took a few steps back and pulled away from them. ¡°Alexa, put down the knife.¡± Keyon begged nervously, ¡°We can talk.¡± ¡°Alexa, put down the knife.¡± Terrence took a tentative step forward, but Alexa roared emotionally. ¡°Terrence, don¡¯te over!¡± ¡°Put the knife down. It¡¯s very dangerous.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t force me!¡± Alexa felt a dull pain in her lower abdomen and some warm liquid was slowly seeping out of her lower body. However, she could not care about so much but be on guard against Terrence. ¡°Let my brother go.¡± ¡°Alexa¡­¡± Keyon was worried. Looking at the interaction between the siblings, Terrence felt like he was an unpardonable sinner. However, Terrence was getting more furious. ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Alexa repeated in a threatening manner. The knife was pressed closer to her throat, and her delicate neck was hurt. ¡°Let my brother go!¡± ¡°Alexa, don¡¯t be silly!¡± Terrence¡¯s face was livid, and he clenched his hands so tightly that their knuckles were white. ¡°Don¡¯t force me¡­ Otherwise¡­¡± ¡°What else?¡± ¡°Otherwise, I¡¯ll die in front of you!¡± ¡°Alexa!¡± Keyon became more and more worried. ¡°There will be a way. Don¡¯t be like this.¡± ¡°Keyon¡­¡± Alexa closed her eyes, tears streamed down her face. ¡°I can¡¯t stand it anymore. I can hardly breathe¡­¡± ¡°Keyon,¡± Terrence said to Keyon with hatred, ¡°Get away, don¡¯t you understand?¡± ¡°Terrence! You have no right¡­¡± Keyon got closed unwillingly, his eyes filled with rage. Keyon hated himself for not being strong enough to protect his sister! ¡°Keyon, hurry up and go away.¡± Alexa calmly said, ¡°We will meet again, we will!! Chapter 181 Chapter 181 Chapter 181 Stay Away From My nc¨¦e The atmosphere at the scene was cold. Keyon looked back at Alexa and finally left angrily It was not until his figurepletely disappeared from her sight that Alexa was slightly relieved. and silently choked. Terrence seized the moment and immediately stepped forward to grab the knife from Alexa¡¯s hand and threw it to the side. He clenched her wrist with a stern expression. Alexa did not resist. She knew that resistance was useless. ¡°All of you, get out.¡± Terrence ordered gloomily, and the bodyguards immediately left. There were only the two of them left in the mall, and the tension in the air was terrifying Alexa calmly met Terrence¡¯s gaze, and there was no trace of expectation in her eyes. ¡°Now that things havee to this, what do you want?¡± Alexa asked. Terrence did not answer her but looked at the shopping cart beside Alexa. It was filled with all kinds of daily necessities. Terrence could even imagine how happy Alexa¡¯s life would be in the future. But, so what? Terrence smirked darkly and suddenly kicked the shopping cart away with a ruthless expression. The things inside fell to the ground with a crash, and then he immediately snatched the baby clothes in Alexa¡¯s hand. ¡°Do you think you can get rid of me?¡± Terrence¡¯s face was dark and malicious, and he held Alexa¡¯s chin. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you not to have such fantasies?¡± Alexa frowned and could hardly breathe. Terrence grabbed harder, wishing he could destroy her. ¡°Why are you always disobedient?¡± ¡°Terrence¡­ I don¡¯t love you at all!¡± Alexa desperately gritted her teeth and whispered. What she said was no different from pouring oil on the mes of Terrence¡¯s fury. ¡°I don¡¯t care if you love me or not.¡± ¡°I want to leave¡­¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes darkened, and he released his hand in disgust. Alexa was caught off guard and fell to the ground in a sorry state. Alexa gasped for air and it cut her lungs like razor des. Soon, Alexa felt a bloody smell rush up her throat. ¡°Come back with me.¡± Terrence coldly ordered, watching Alexa slowly get up. ¡°What¡¯s the point of you doing this?¡± Alexa said weakly with a pale face, ¡°How long can you lock me up?¡± Terrence grabbed her wrist and pulled her forward without mercy. When Alexa was in his arms, Terrence¡¯s expression eased a little. However, in just an instant, Alexa left his arms and stood still. Terrence put on a cold face as usual and pulled Alexa away without saying a word. After getting in the car, Terrence discovered Alexa¡¯s abnormality, Alexa had been covering her lower abdomen, enduring the pain with a pale face. When Terrence was about to say something, he saw dazzling blood spread to Alexa¡¯s skirt. ¡°Drive to the hospital!¡± This time, Alexa did not faint. She was awake till she was carried into the emergency room by Terrence. When Doctor White saw the two of them, she immediately scolded them with a serious expression. ¡°What¡¯s going on? What happened to you two?¡± Terrence was silent and watched them push Alexa into the treatment room, his face gloomy. He sat in a chair and thought for a long time before finally giving Brenton a call. Not long after, Brenton rushed to the hospital. When Brenton saw Terrence, he went up and punched Terrence before saying something. ¡°Terrence, you bastard!¡± A bruise immediately appeared on Terrence¡¯s face, but he did not fight back. He just stared at ¡°Alexa is a pregnant woman. She is not your ything, you bastard!¡± ¡°I call you here to inform you that the rtionship between me and Alexa is none of your business ¡± Brenton was enraged by what Terrence said! ¡°None of my business? Don¡¯t forget, she is pregnant with my child. Who do you think you are?¡± ¡°You are not qualified to take her away.¡± Terrence¡¯s aura was cold. ¡°I will not allow you to get what you want.¡± ¡°Terrence, you will kill her!¡± ¡°How could I kill her?¡± Terrence sneered sinisterly, ¡°I love her so much¡­ Brenton sneered, ¡°Heh.¡± They argued endlessly and were about to fight when the door to the ward suddenly opened. As soon as Dr. White came out, Brenton immediately stepped forward to stop her ¡°Doctor, Alexa is my fianc¨¦e. How is she now?¡± Dr. White was a little confused. She suddenly looked at Terrence, whose aura was extraordinary What was going on? ¡°Oh, this gentleman has nothing to do with her,¡± Brenton exined politely. ¡°You¡¯re so outrageous as her fianc¨¦! The patient¡¯s condition is unstable. It hasn¡¯t been long since she was sent to the hospital. Now she is tortured like this!¡± Dr. White shouted indignantly. ¡°Sorry,¡± Brenton made an apology, ¡°it¡¯s my fault.¡± ¡°After being injured so many times, the patient is very sick. Her condition doesn¡¯t allow her to keep the baby, so you have to think about it carefully,¡± Dr. White said in a quandary. ¡°Okay, thank you, doctor.¡± Soon, the nurse pushed Alexa out. Alexa was unconscious. Terrence immediately went forward to check the situation, but Brenton quickly stepped forward and pushed him away. Brenton said with a gloomy face, ¡°Go away! You don¡¯t need to care about my wife.¡± Terrence gritted his teeth and helplessly released his tightly clenched hands. Terrence followed them to the ward and watched them ce all kinds of tubes on Alexa. Brenton was disgusted with Terrence¡¯s affectionate appearance, and he was so angry that he wanted to kill Terrence ¡°You are the one who hurt Alexa like this. How can you stay here so shameless? ¡°Silence.¡± Terrence whispered impatiently, ¡°Let her rest well ¡°Stop acting in this way!¡± Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. Brenton stood by Alexa¡¯s bedside, tantly dering his sovereignty Terrence sat at the side, feeling more and more jealous of Brenton Brenton was Alexa¡¯s first love and she had been loving him Moreover, Brenton was the father of her child. Terrence had arrogantly pestered her for such a long time However, in the end, he was nothing A momentter, a man pushed open the door and entered When he saw the two men in the room, he froze. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Kieran said indifferently, ¡°It¡¯s really surprising Terrence was already very unhappy. He hadn¡¯t dealt with Brenton, and now he had to deal with Kieran too. Brenton got up very unhappily and shouted in a self-righteous manner. ¡°Stay away from my fianc¨¦e. It is none of your business.¡± ¡°Fianc¨¦e?¡± Kieran asked slowly. ¡°She is Mrs. Ramsey. What nonsense are you talking about? I think you are risking your neck!¡± Terrence said harshly. ¡°If you have hypochondriasis, hurry up and see the doctor, Mr. Ramsey. Stop daydreaming!¡± Brenton retorted. Chapter 182 Chapter 182 Chapter 182 You Are Never Wrong Just as the three of them were arguing, Alexa, who was on the bed, slowly woke up Brenton immediately rushed to Alexa¡¯s bed and asked in a gentle voice. ¡°Alexa, you¡¯re awake? Do you want to drink water? Does it hurt anywhere?¡± ¡°Brenton¡­¡± Alexa called out to Brenton with a slightly broken voice. Terrence was so jealous Moreover, Brenton grabbed Alexa¡¯s hard! ¡°Everything¡¯s all right now,¡± Brenton said softly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Alexa paused for a long time and finally asked slowly. ¡°Is the child still there?¡± Brenton paused and deliberately said. ¡°Our child is alright.¡± When Terrence heard Brenton say this, his expression became much grimmer. Kieran stepped forward and said with concern. ¡°The best doctors areing here. Don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa felt unwell all over and did not have much energy to talk. Terrence stood by the end of the bed and stared at Alexa quietly. ¡°Why is Mr. Ramsey still here?¡± Brenton¡¯s face was gloomy. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to go?¡± ¡°Brenton, what the hell are you saying?¡± Terrence was exuding so much boss energy that no one could pretend he wasn¡¯t there. ¡°Alexa is mine. You guys keep away from her.¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, don¡¯t make meugh,¡± Brenton retorted fearlessly. ¡°The Darrell family will not sit back and watch after the harm you¡¯ve done to Alexa,¡± Seeing that they were to quarrel again, Alexa couldn¡¯t help but say weakly. ¡°No arguing, please¡­¡± Hearing her voice, Brenton immediately sat down nervously beside Alexa¡¯s bed and mocked Terrence implicitly. ¡°Alexa, let¡¯s not waste time on unimportant people.¡± ¡°My head hurts. Leave, all of you.¡¯ Alexa was in so much pain that she was covered in a cold sweat and looked very weak. Kieran called in some other doctors and immediately arranged for people to prepare the medicine. The ward was once again in a mess, and when it quieted down, it was already dawn. Alexa¡¯s fever kepting back and going away. When she came around, Brenton was the only one left in the ward. ¡°They are gone?¡± Brenton only smiled and turned to pull open the curtains. The soft and tranquil dawn light entered the ward. The smile on Brenton¡¯s face faded, and he had his back to Alexa the whole time. ¡°Yes, gone.¡± Alexa sighed tiredly behind him and closed her eyes. ¡°Did you dreamst night?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Brenton pursed his lips and said, seemingly jealous. ¡°You kept saying his namest night.¡± ¡°I see.¡± Alexa¡¯s eyshes fluttered. Clearly, she didn¡¯t think it was a big deal. ¡°It seems that I was so sick that I was even delirious.¡± Hearing this, Brenton went forward helplessly. ¡°Alexa, the doctors I get you are standing by. Your illness must be treated immediately.¡± ¡°Brenton, thank you.¡± A smile appeared on Alexa¡¯s thin face. ¡°But I don¡¯t need it. I won¡¯t ept any treatment.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Brenton said somewhat emotionally, ¡°It can be cured. Be optimistic.¡± ¡°No need. I¡¯m content with things as they are now.¡± Brentonpletely had no idea what Alexa had on her mind. She was simplymitting suicide by doing this. ¡°Alexa, let¡¯s give it another try, okay?¡± Alexa gently shook her head, still smiling. The doctor said that she could not make it through 20 years old. But now, she had already lived three more years. It was enough. Brenton tried to change her mind. Then he got a call and left in a hurry. Alexay in bed quietly for a while, and someone came in. ¡°Brenton?¡± She said uncertainly, but a deep and familiar voice sounded at the door. ¡°It¡¯s me.¡± Alexa was stunned. She watched Terrence walk over stupidly. Terrence ced the lunch boxes in his hand on the table one by one and then handed a spoonful of food to Alexa. Terrence was very calm as if nothing had happened. ¡°Eat.¡± He ordered curtly, but Alexa did not react. ¡°Alexa?¡± ¡°Terrence, why are you back?¡± Alexa looked up at him, her eyes red. ¡°You don¡¯t want me toe?¡± Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. Terrence nced at her indifferently, wearing the same expression. ¡°If I don¡¯te, who will take care of you?¡± These casual words were like a sharp sword that ruthlessly stabbed into Alexa¡¯s heart. Alexa opened her mouth, but it was very difficult for her to say a word. ¡°I¡¯ll take you home after you recover.¡± ¡°Why do you have to keep me by your side?¡± Alexa said with a trembling voice ¡°Let me go ¡± ¡°They won¡¯t be able to take you away.¡± The calmer Terrence was, the more scared Alexa was. A few minutester, Terrence still stood by the bed with the same cold expression, while Alexa had a face full of tears. She pushed away Terrence¡¯s hand, and the spoon fell to the ground. For a moment, one could cut the air with a knife. But soon, it was disturbed by Alexa¡¯s crying ¡°What have I done to you to deserve this?¡± Hearing Terrence¡¯s words, Alexa sneered with tears in her eyes. All the misery she had gone through was because of him, and now Terrence was asking her on his high horse what he had done wrong to her. ¡°You¡¯ve done nothing wrong,¡± Alexa replied sarcastically ¡°You are never wrong ¡°I have been as tolerant as I can to you and Brenton.¡± ¡°Well, so?¡± Alexa struggled to hold herself together. ¡°How does Mr. Ramsey n to get back at us?¡± Terrence stared at her quietly, and his eyes became colder and colder. ¡°You don¡¯t like Brynlee. So I got rid of her. ¡°You want to keep this child, and I agreed. ¡°Alexa, you have never moved on from Brenton.¡± ¡°If you think this is unfair, just sign the divorce papers,¡± Alexa replied coldly. ¡°You can sign at any time.¡± ¡°Alexa!¡± Terrence asked angrily, ¡°Did you understand what I said?¡± ¡°Why do I have to do what you want me to?¡± Alexa growled. ¡°Who do you think you are?¡± Things be ugly again. Neither of them could be honest with the other. ¡°Alexa, good for you,¡± Terrence sneered gloomily. ¡°I hope that you can be this stubborn forever.¡± Alexa was too emotional, and she suddenly mped a hand over her chest and coughed violently. Terrence subconsciously raised his hand, but he stopped as he realized something. Brenton entered the ward and rushed over to take Alexa into his arms. Brenton turned his head angrily and red at Terrence. ¡°Let go of her!¡± ¡°Terrence, leave us alone!¡± Neither of the two wanted to be the first to step back. Brenton gnashed his teeth in hatred. He really didn¡¯t understand what Alexa saw in this scumbag. ¡°You don¡¯t want anything to happen to Alexa, right?¡± Brenton arrogantly tilted his head. ¡°You think I don¡¯t know how the Ramsey family took advantage of Alexa? As soon as Alexa heard this, the color remaining on her face drained from it. Chapter 183 Chapter 183 Chapter 183 Tears of Joy ¡°What do you know?¡± Terrence spoke unhurriedly as his gaze became less malicious. ¡°Alexa, if you want to know, go ask your brother.¡± Brenton¡¯s words made Alexa more and more panicked. ¡°What is it?¡± Alexa asked anxiously. ¡°What are you hiding from me?¡± ¡°You would rather believe him than me?¡± Terrence asked coldly. ¡°You believe whatever he says?¡± ¡°Tsk,¡± Brenton sneered. ¡°You are already scared, Mr. Ramsey?¡± Terrence ignored him and looked straight into Alexa¡¯s eyes. ¡°I didn¡¯t lie to you, and I didn¡¯t need to lie to you,¡± Terrence said slowly and clearly. ¡°No one can make me do or say things against my own will.¡± ¡°Stop pretending.¡± Brenton continued to fan the mes. ¡°It¡¯s easy to say. What¡¯s the point of fake sincerity?¡± ¡°Brenton, since you dare to mess with me,¡± Terrence sneered, ¡°then you¡¯d be able to bear the consequences.¡± ¡°Just wait and see.¡± Brenton had cards up his sleeve and was not worried at all. After Terrence finished speaking, he left right away. And the ward immediately fell silent. ¡°Don¡¯t make things difficult for yourself,¡± Alexa said worriedly. ¡°There¡¯s nothing Terrence wouldn¡¯t do when he decides to go crazy.¡± ¡°Alexa, I will never back down,¡± Brenton said firmly. ¡°I¡¯m willing to do anything for you.¡± Alexa looked embarrassed and didn¡¯t know what to say. T Now the situation was aplete mess, but there was nothing she could do. Brenton didn¡¯t leave, but not long after, an uninvited guest came. Tania entered the ward with a straight back. She fixed her eyes on Alexa with a faint smile. ¡°I¡¯ve been wondering why Brenton rarelyes hometely,¡± Tania said arrogantly as she adjusted the ornament in her hair. ¡°So he¡¯s with Ms. Duran.¡± Brenton stood next to Alexa and said in a t tone. ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°Why? Can I note?¡± Tania¡¯s eyes darkened. She scolded, ¡°Brenton, have you forgotten what you¡¯ve promised your father?¡± Brenton frowned, looking a little impatient. ¡°Let¡¯s talk about this at home. Don¡¯t make a scene in the hospital.¡± ¡°You think I¡¯m making a scene?¡± Tania suddenly raised her voice. ¡°I have never interfered in your affairs. But now you¡¯ve gone too far!¡± Alexa silently listened. She knew that Tania wasining about her. As expected, Tania spoke to Alexa the next second. ¡°Ms. Duran, help me talk some sense into Brenton. He doesn¡¯t listen to me now.¡± ¡°Mom¡­¡± Brenton called in a low voice. He simply didn¡¯t know what to do with his mom. ¡°You¡¯re our family¡¯s only hope now. Stop going down the wrong path, or what should I do?¡± ¡°What are you saying?¡± Brenton said unhappily. ¡°What do you mean by the wrong path?¡± Tania snorted and nced at Alexa. ¡°Ms. Duran.¡± ¡°Mrs. Darrell.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve always been against Brenton dating you. If you truly care about him, let go of him. Otherwise, you won¡¯t want Mrs. Ramsey to know about this,¡± Tania threatened arrogantly. ¡°Alexa and Terrence are divorced. What¡¯s this to do with the Ramseys?¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Tania growled angrily. Then she continued, ¡°I don¡¯t want you to hate me, but I absolutely won¡¯t allow such a thing to happen.¡± ¡°Mom, what do you know?¡± Tania red at Brenton fiercely. Then she took out a jewelry box from her bag and threw it onto Alexa¡¯s bed. Brenton¡¯s expression immediately darkened. He stared at the box. ¡°Ms. Duran, open it and take a look,¡± Tania said sarcastically. ¡°See if you like it.¡± Alexa stiffly picked up the box and slowly opened it. There was a shining diamond ring inside. ¡°Who allowed you to take it?¡± Brenton red at Tania spitefully ¡°This is my own business. It has nothing to do with you!¡± ¡°How can it have nothing to do with me?¡± Tania was livid with anger ¡°Are you going to propose to her behind my back?¡± Hearing this, Alexa immediately closed the box and put it quietly next to Brenton. Brenton pursed his thin lips and did not say another word. ¡°I¡¯m telling you, it¡¯s impossible!¡± ¡°Get out.¡± ¡°We will never allow such a woman to be our daughter inw!¡± ¡°I told you to leave!¡± Brenton growled angrily, and the ward immediately quieted down Tania was so shocked that her lips trembled. Then she stormed out of the door resolutely. Alexa looked at Brenton quietly for a while and finally asked softly ¡°Are you okay?¡± Brenton subconsciously turned around to avoid Alexa¡¯s eyes. ¡°So funny, isn¡¯t it?¡± ¡°No.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t mind her,¡± Brenton said coldly. ¡°I don¡¯t.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s talk.¡± Brenton was stunned for a moment and turned to look at the ring box on the table. ¡°I bought this ring three years ago. ¡°I wanted to give you a surprise on your birthday¡­.. ¡°It should be out of fashion now.¡± ¡°It¡¯s all over,¡± Alexa said emotionlessly. ¡°We should move on.¡± Move on? How could he just move on like this? ¡°If I had begged you to stay with me that day, would you have left with me?¡± The ward fell silent after Brenton¡¯s words. Alexa looked at him with bright eyes and didn¡¯t know how to answer that Brentonughed and changed the topic. ¡°You can answer meter. We have plenty of time.¡± Brenton straightened his clothes and walked to the door calmly. T ¡°I am going to thepany for a meeting now. I wille back as soon as possible.¡± Alexa was like a puppet. She kept her head down and yed with her fingers ¡°Keep that ring. That day left me with regrets, and I want to make up for them.¡± Brenton paused and said, ¡°I actually have something to tell you that day.¡± ¡°What did you want to tell me?¡± Alexa looked up at him calmly. Her waist length hair was gently hanging down behind her. Brenton¡¯s smile became wider as he tightly gripped the door handle ¡°Happy birthday.¡± After saying that, he pushed the door open and left with slight hesitation. He soon disappeared. Hearing the sound of the door lock clicking, Alexa finally felt herself again. She clutched at the quilt and sobbed like a child. Brenton¡­ Why was he so tolerant? Content held by N?velDrama.Org. When Terrence came in, Alexa had stopped crying. But when he saw Alexa, her eyes were still red. ¡°You cried?¡± Alexa raised her hand and wiped her eyes hard. She denied it in a deep voice. ¡°No. Why are you back?¡± Terrence did not answer her. Instead, he walked straight to the cab and picked up the ring box. When he saw what was inside, Terrence smiled indifferently. ¡°So they are tears of joy.¡± Chapter 184 Chapter 184 Chapter 184 You¡¯ll Have a Child Again The ring looked extremely dazzling, and Terrence immediately tightened his palm. His gloomy face showed that he was enduring his anger. ¡°Alexa, speak.¡± ¡°What else do you want me to say?¡± Alexa said impatiently, ¡°You can think whatever you want.¡± ¡°Good, very good!¡± Terrence angrily spat out a few words, and in the blink of an eye, he smashed the thing in his hand to the ground. ¡°Alexa, you are shameless!¡± he spoke fiercely with a darkened face. ¡°Alexa, do you think I¡¯m dead!¡± ¡°Now that things havee to this point, there is no need to say anything more.¡± Alexa struggled to get out of bed and slowly moved to the window. The setting sun emitted a gentle afterglow that embraced the world, but Alexa¡¯s heart was ¡°If I had known this would happen, why would I¡­..¡± Alexa coughed weakly a few times, and she seemed to fall down. ¡°Terrence, do you know how much I hate you?¡± ¡°So what if you hate me or not?¡± Terrence replied in a loud voice, ¡°Is it you who has the final say?¡± ¡°Well, I don¡¯t have the final say.¡± Themunication between the two was in a deadlock again. After a long time, Alexa finally broke the silence. ¡°So you have to sign the divorce agreement quickly. I will never appear in front of you again.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to talk to you so much.¡± Terrence forcefully changed the topic, and there was an imperceptible panic in the depths of his heart. ¡°Transfer now. This hospital isn¡¯t good.¡± Terrence nced at the ring on the ground, and the disgust in his eyes deepened. Alexa lightly stroked her lower abdomen,pletely ignoring Terrence who was angry in front of her ¡°I want to give birth to this child,¡± Alexa smiled softly. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, don¡¯t you feel disgusted watching me every day?¡± Her casual words instantly infuriated Terrence. He secretly clenched his hands but finally, let go helplessly. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Alexa walked slowly behind Terrence, and the bodyguards in the corridor stood solemnly. She felt more and more like a prisoner who was about to go to the execution ground. Not long after, Terrence suddenly stopped. Alexa had not fully recovered yet, so she couldn¡¯t walk a long distance. Terrence stepped back and lifted her, and this group of people went to the garage. The heater was on in the car, and Alexa did not feel very cold. After Terrence got in the car, he simply pulled Alexa into his arms. The fragrance seemed to linger in the warm space, and Alexa was even a little sleepy. Terrence lowered his head slightly, and his warm lips touched her hair. They seemed to be a couple in love. ¡°What do you want to eat tonight?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have an appetite. I miss my brother.¡± Alexa replied briefly, not grateful at all. Terrence¡¯s eyes dimmed slightly. He said patiently, ¡°You can think about something else.¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing more to think about.¡± The driver heard the conversation between the two and was holding back hisughter. In all these years, the driver had never seen Terrence being choked by a woman. ¡°Is vegetable soup okay? I remember that you liked stewed beef before. Would you like it tonight?¡± Terrence asked in session. Alexa was disturbed by his questions and began to get impatient. She sat straight in Terrence¡¯s arins. She said a little impatiently, ¡°I said I have no appetite ¡°Okay.¡± Terrence took the opportunity to respond, ¡°Then I¡¯ll cook for you when you are hungry Alexa didn¡¯t know what to say. Terrence must be mad. Otherwise, he could change his attitude dramatically and quickly A momentter, Alexa felt that the hand on her waist was quietly tightening. She struggled a few times in difort and frowned. ¡°Don¡¯t touch me!¡± ¡°You have put on some weight recently,¡± Terrence said with relief ¡°Your waist is not as slender as before.¡± ¡°Let go of me!¡± Alexa was anxious and annoyed, and she directly went to pull his fingers Unexpectedly, Terrence took advantage of this opportunity to pull her into his arms In the blink of an eye, Alexa felt her back pressing against his chest. ¡°Terrence, you¡­¡± The next second, Alexa swallowed the words she had not finished and could no longer make a sound. Terrence¡¯s hand reached into the hem of her clothes and covered her bulging abdomen. The rough and warm touch made Alexa instantly hold her breath. She didn¡¯t dare to move about in his arms. Terrence did not do anything else, so Alexa was much more relieved. Gradually, Alexa realized that her abdomen was not so ufortable. Terrence was stunned, and there was no other movement. He seemed to be thinking about something in his heart. ¡°You are not in good condition. Why are you suffering like this?¡± Alexa was caught off guard and did not understand what Terrence was talking about. ¡°This is my business¡­¡± ¡°I know,¡± Terrence said helplessly. ¡°I just hope that you can take care of your body. Everything is not as important as your own life.¡± ¡°If the father of this child was you, would you still say such things?¡± Terrence suddenly held his tongue, as if this was a very difficult problem. The more Terrence felt embarrassed, the more Alexa wanted to ask. ¡°Would you?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Terrence¡¯s attitude was rational. ¡°You will have a child again¡­¡± ¡°This child¡¯s arrival was an ident. I didn¡¯t take the medicine that time,¡± Alexa said nonchntly. When she finished speaking, she saw Terrence¡¯s face darken. Terrence was irritated. He released his hand in disgust and let go of her. He was simply a different person from before. Alexa smirked, but there was sadness in her eyes. Terrence would never believe in other things she said, but he believed in this matter. Alexa did not continue to speak. She leaned forward to the window and looked out of the window. Terrence looked at her thin body, and the mes in his heart burned. If he hadn¡¯t left that day, everything would have been different. Terrence brought Alexa to the high end hospital belonging to Hudson Group. David and a group of assistants waited respectfully at the door. The atmosphere was very solemn. Seeing Alexa again, David was no longer as enthusiastic as before. ¡°Terrence. Long time no see,¡± David greeted Terrence. The two exchanged a few simple words, and David automatically ignored Alexa. David really didn¡¯t know what Terrence was thinking. Alexa was already pregnant with another man¡¯s child, but Terrence still didn¡¯t let go. ¡°The ward has been arranged. Let¡¯s go up. Ms. Duran, pleasee with me. I¡¯ve arranged a check-up for you,¡± David said. ?????? go with you.¡± ¡°No need. I can handle it myself,¡± Alexa inly said. ¡°Yes. It will be over soon,¡± David said with a smile. With that, Alexa and David went to the examination room tacitly. As soon as the door was closed, their expressions changed instantly. ¡°What exactly are you trying to do? I heard that you and Brenton are going to be engaged. Why are you still pestering Terrence?¡± David questioned coldly. Alexa sat down on her own. She said lightly, ¡°The father of this child is Terrence.¡± ¡°What?¡±T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Chapter 185 Chapter 185 Chapter 185 Alexa Has Signed It David¡¯s face showed shock. He obviously could not believe this answer. Alexa smiled, ¡°You are a doctor. There should be a way to confirm it. But I hope that Dr. Cooper will keep it a secret. Or it will not do you any good.¡± ¡°But, why?¡± Alexa said indifferently, as if this was something unrted to her, ¡°Because he doesn¡¯t want to have this baby. In that case, why should I ask for trouble?¡± ¡°Terrence is not that kind of person. Perhaps you should have a good talk with him,¡± David said seriously. ¡°No, but thanks.¡± Alexa walked to the door without care and did not take David¡¯s words seriously. The moment she opened the door, she saw Terrence. ¡°Done here?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa replied softly and walked to the side. Terrence immediately followed behind her. David walked behind and watched the interaction between the two. David felt veryplicated. After returning to the ward, Terrence finally asked what was on his mind. ¡°David didn¡¯t make things difficult for you, did he?¡± ¡°No.¡± Alexa said without thinking, which made Terrence feel a little strange. He continued, ¡°Really? If you are unhappy and ufortable, you have to tell me.¡± Alexa was not used to Terrence being so concerned about her, so she casually found a topic. ¡°How are you and Brynlee now?¡± Hearing this, Terrence did not change much. ¡°We haven¡¯t contacted each other. We broke up for good.¡± ¡°You forgot her so easily?¡± ¡°Should I keep her in my mind?¡± Terrence ended the topic. Alexa knew that he was taking insinuating remarks, so she didn¡¯t say anything more. ¡°I need to go abroad. You stay here for the time being. Call me if you need anything.¡± Alexa took the phone back from him but found that everything was deleted. Other than Terrence¡¯s contact information, there was nothing else. He was really careful. ¡°I¡¯m fine. You can go.¡± Terrence knew that Alexa hated him very much now. But he was not angry. Terrence smiled, ¡°You can call me whenever you want.¡± Alexa stared straight at him and asked in confusion. ¡°You have nothing to do, right?¡± Terrence was speechless. He left the ward with a half-smile. After the Walton Group went bankrupt, Gavyn told a lot of things. Terrence didn¡¯t want to hand this matter over to others, so he had to personallye to confirm it. He could tell that the truth about what happened that year was getting closer and closer. After Terrence left, Alexa tried to contact Keyon. Terrence knew clearly what she was going to do, but he did not send anyone to stop her. Alexa tried more than ten times, but she failed. She clenched her cell phone angrily and called Terrence. Terrence answered the phone as if he was waiting for her to take the bait. Terrence said proudly, ¡°What can I do for you? Didn¡¯t you say you wouldn¡¯t contact me?¡± ¡°Terrence! Of course, I don¡¯t want to contact you. I want to contact my brother!¡±This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. He smiled yfully, ¡°Your brother? I could be your brother.¡± ¡°You¡­ are shameless!¡± Alexa gave a low shout on the other side of the line and suddenly hung up the phone in anger. Terrence did not feel like he was being scolded. Instead, he felt happy, and a smile even appeared on his face Edwin nced at Terrence through the rearview mirror. Edwin never saw Terrence behave like that. Terrence should not be happy right now, right? ¡°Mr. Ramsey, how are we going to deal with Keyon?¡± Hearing this, Terrence stoppedughing and said with a serious face. ¡°Alexa now has aplicated background. Before everything is thoroughly investigated, you absolutely cannot let Alexae into contact with Keyon.¡± ¡°But Mrs. Ramsey¡­¡± Terrence¡¯s voice gradually became low, ¡°She has me. She won¡¯t go to the extreme because of Keyon.¡¯ They had lived together for three years. With Terrence¡¯s ability to read people, he knew Alexa. And Alexa, who was in the ward, was indeed very quiet. She was bored, so she painted on a piece of paper. She was inadvertently attracted by the TV. Brynlee was wearing a custom-made dress and standing gracefully in front of the camera, talking. ¡°The rtionship between me and Terrence doesn¡¯t change. I hope that everyone can remain rational.¡± Alexa¡¯s eyes turned cold, and she immediately turned off the TV. After that, she found that she could no longer calm down. Five minutester, David looked at the person in front of him and asked in shock. ¡°You don¡¯t want this baby?¡± ¡°Yes. I don¡¯t want it,¡± Alexa said calmly. David had received many patients, but at this moment, he was deeply worried. ¡°You mean¡­ ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Does Terrence know about this? What did he say?¡± David felt it was so tricky. ¡°I don¡¯t care what he thinks.¡± Hearing her words, David did not dare to say yes to Alexa. If Terrence knew, David would be toast. ¡°In our hospital, if you want to have abortion surgery, your family has to sign the paper. Go and discuss it with Terrence first,¡± David said tactfully. Alexa nodded as if she understood. She went out without a word. Just as David felt relieved, Alexa returned with a paper. The signatures were her and Keyon¡¯s names, and the signatures were the same. ¡°Now?¡± ¡°Ms. Duran, don¡¯t make things difficult for me. I can¡¯t make a decision on this¡­¡± David revealed a bitter expression. Alexa¡¯s expression was calm as she looked down. Her calm aura perfectly concealed the madness in her heart. ¡°Can I first ask the management team in the hospital?¡± ¡°Yes. As soon as possible,¡± Alexa said neatly. David hid outside the office and dialed Terrence¡¯s number. At this time, Terrence was on his way to the airport. ¡°Terrence, Alexa signed the abortion agreement on her own. Hurry up ande back to persuade her,¡± David urged seriously. The person on the other side of the line was silent for a long time and asked in an unclear mood. ¡°Has she decided?¡± ¡°What are you talking about? If you don¡¯te back, you will regret it.¡± ¡°I respect her decision. I will arrange for someone to take care of her,¡± Terrence said word by word. David let out a long sigh of disappointment. The truth was about to be blurted out. However, when David thought of the way Alexa had warned him, he felt that there must be something more behind this. David was about to say something, but Terrence hung up the phone. He returned to the office awkwardly, but Alexa said lightly. ¡°What did Terrence say?¡± ¡°He¡¯s busy, maybe¡­¡± ¡°I see. So, Mr. Cooper, can you sign now?¡± Alexa asked with a smile. David was stunned and raised his hand with difficulty holding the pen. At the same time, the Maybach, which was originally heading to the airport, suddenly turned around and drove in the opposite direction. Chapter 186 Chapter 186 Chapter 186 Escape In the hospital, David hesitated for a long time but still did not write. ¡°Do you really not need to think about it? This is important,¡± he said. ¡°No need. I have already thought it through.¡± ¡°Did you have a conflict with Terrence? Don¡¯t be impulsive,¡± David said tactfully. David¡¯s earnest words did not work on Alexa because she knew that everything he said was to please Terrence. No one cared about her feelings and would not think from her perspective. She was already in her twenties, and this was the first time she had felt so clear-headed. ¡°Mr. Cooper, can I use your phone? I want to make a call.¡± After Alexa took the phone, she skillfully dialed a number. She sat on the sofa, and David could clearly capture her actions. After the call was connected, Alexa was still very calm. ¡°I¡¯m going to abort the child. ¡°Yes, I¡¯ve decided. ¡°I won¡¯t regret it.¡± After a few simple words, Alexa returned the phone to him and then walked to the operating room. The operating room of the gynecology department was always busier than other departments. Many pregnant women waited in the corridor and stared at the door of the examination room with their family members. Alexa found a seat and sat down quietly, waiting for the nurse to arrange the operation. Not long after, a pregnant woman with a big belly sat beside her. ¡°You are alone here for a pregnancy checkup?¡± As the woman spoke, she looked at Alexa¡¯s belly curiously. ¡°You¡¯re so thin. You need more nutritional supplements during your pregnancy.¡± ¡°Well¡­ Yes.¡± Alexa gave a stiff reply, feeling that her answer was strange. ¡°Where¡¯s your husband?¡± ¡°I am here for an abortion operation. I don¡¯t need anyone to apany me,¡± Alexa said. As soon as she finished speaking, a young girl holding her belly was helped out of the operation room by her boyfriend. She was so weak as they moved far away. Those who coulde to this hospital were basically all rich and noble, so such a thing was very The woman looked at her with a strange and probing gaze. The woman mocked in her heart, she must have been dumped by an old man. Young girls now are really¡­ After a long time, it wasn¡¯t Alexa¡¯s turn yet. She gently covered her belly with mixed feelings. This innocent little life was going to be destroyed by her. Alexa weakly coughed a few times, and the people around her all felt ill at her. Everyone thought tacitly, she might be sick. They dodged her one after another. ¡°Alexa!¡± Hearing this shout, Alexa was brought back to her senses and almost fell to the ground. ¡°Are you alright?¡± Brenton quickly walked forward and naturally hugged Alexa. ¡°Why are you here¡­¡± Alexa coughed. ¡°Can I be absent? It¡¯s fine. It¡¯s fine. I¡¯m here,¡± Brentonforted, worried. Everyone quietly sized up this well-dressed man and instantly understood the rtionship between the two. Finally, a warm-hearted pregnant woman spoke with indignation. ¡°You are too ipetent as a husband. How can you ask your wife to have a prenatal checkup alone?¡± ¡°It¡¯s my fault.¡± Brenton said gently, ¡°I won¡¯t do this again.¡± The nurse pushed the door open and shouted. ¡°No. 28, Alexa.¡± F Brenton held her even more tightly in his arms and said in a soft voice. ¡°Alexa, perhaps we should have a good talk.¡± When Terrence arrived at the hospital, Brenton just left the hospital with Alexa. When he saw the interactions between the two in the surveince, Terrence instantly became monstrously cold with killing intent. ¡°Immediately send someone to stop them!¡± Brenton drove away from the hospital and hit the highway. ¡°Alexa, do you believe me?¡± Alexa curled up in the front passenger seat, seeking a trace of warmth under the nket. ¡°Where are we going?¡± ¡°To a ce that Terrence can¡¯t find.¡± Hearing this, Alexa forced out a smile on her pale face. There was a faint fragrance in Brenton¡¯s car, and Alexa finally fell asleep as the car slightly jolted. At that moment, Terrence sat in Alexa¡¯s ward with a stern face and watched thetest surveince video. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, we have already spected where they might go.¡± Edwin reported shrewdly, ¡°I have sent more people everywhere, and they can definitely bring Mrs. Ramsey back.¡± Terrence fiddled with Alexa¡¯s pencil and suddenly smashed it against the table, snapping the pencil into two. The manuscript that Alexa had drawn just now was still on the table. Terrence nced at it coldly, and his face was extremely dark. Edwin constantly ran into the ward to report thetest situation. Every time he said it, Terrence¡¯s vibe would get colder. ¡°Mr. Ramsey¡­ Brenton has already left the highway. He has already left New York. As for the specific location, it is still¡­ unclear.¡± Terrence knocked lightly on the table, and Edwin dared not to utter a word because of his pressure. At this time, Brenton took Alexa to an old mansion. ¡°This is my family¡¯s mansion.¡± Brenton introduced, ¡°It is still being cleaned as usual, and you can move in at any time.¡± The mansion was surrounded by forests, and the sun was blocked by the dense forests, but it was not gloomy. The wind blew, and fragrance filled the room, making people feelfortable. ¡°Let¡¯s go in,¡± Brenton said cheerfully. The two entered the room one after another, and a faint sound of footsteps sounded at the right time. ¡°Mr. Darrell? Mr. Darrell, you¡¯re back?¡± As soon as the question was finished, a grey-haired, kind nanny appeared in front of them. ¡°You brought a guest back!¡± T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Lucy, this is Alexa.¡± ¡°Hello, Lucy.¡± Alexa politely greeted. Lucy kindly held Alexa¡¯s hands and carefully sized her up. ¡°There is such a beautiful girl in the world. It makes my heart melt,¡± Lucy said happily. ¡°Lucy, you ttered me. I¡¯m ordinary,¡± Alexa smiled shyly. ¡°Ms. Duran, are you pregnant?¡± Lucy eximed and subconsciously looked at Brenton. He just smiled subtly and did not exin much. Lucy understood, and the joy on her face increased. ¡°What do you want to eat? I will prepare it now.¡± ¡°Of course, we came here specifically for your shrimp pasta.¡± ¡°Good, good, good.¡± Lucy nodded repeatedly and said lovingly, ¡°I¡¯ll do it now.¡± After Lucy went to the kitchen, Brenton took Alexa to the main hall. ¡°Lucy had taken care of me since I was born. After she retired, I asked her to stay here with Michael,¡± Brenton exined slowly. ¡°Lucy must love you very much.¡± Alexa sighed with emotion, and Brenton nodded in agreement. ¡°I rarely met my parents. Everything will be handled by Lucy.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa responded, and her words stopped abruptly. This was a scar deep in Brenton¡¯s heart, and she should not ask more. Unexpectedly, he said easily. ¡°So I have always been envious of you. You have your family, and they care about you all the time.¡± Alexa pursed her lips. She clearly did not want to continue this topic. The topic concerning her family had always been a restricted area in her heart, and it was a scar that could not be erased for the rest of her life. Brenton came back to his senses, and the atmosphere was a little stagnant. Chapter 187 Chapter 187 Chapter 187 Live Once Only The two sat silently for a moment, and a warm voice broke the ice. ¡°Pasta is ready. Come eat it.¡± Lucy ced tworge tes of steaming shrimp pasta in front of them and sat at the side, watching them with a smile. Brenton eagerly took a bite and immediately praised. ¡°It tastes the same as before. Lucy, your cooking has always been so good ¡± Lucy nodded happily and said warmly. ¡°Ms. Duran, quickly taste it too. Be careful, it¡¯s hot.¡± ¡± Alexa immediately took a bite of the pasta. Her eyes immediately turned red, and her tears kept surging. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Why are you suddenly crying? Is it not delicious?¡± Brenton also became nervous and handed her a handkerchief. ¡°Don¡¯t cry. Can you tell me what you want to say?¡± Alexa tried her best to calm herself down and said emotionally. ¡°It¡¯s very delicious. I just¡­ suddenly remembered my mother.¡± Lucy¡¯s eyes were immediately filled with a touch of deep pity. She got up and hugged Alexa. ¡°Good girl, I can cook all the dishes your mother made for you.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Brenton said gently, ¡°Let¡¯s stay here, okay?¡± ¡°I will cause trouble for you, and¡­¡± ¡°You are not a trouble to me. If you want to leave, I¡¯ll go with you,¡± Brenton said seriously. ¡°You can talk about itter.¡± Lucy changed the topic naturally. ¡°Let¡¯s eat first. Michael caught a big fish. We have fish soup to drink tonight.¡± ¡°Thank you, Lucy.¡± Alexa finally calmed down, and she was temporarily away from the storm in New York. Terrence almost flipped the entire New York. The news about Alexa became less and less, and he could not control the anger in his heart more and more. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, about the acquisition¡­¡± Before Edwin could finish speaking, Terrence suddenly shot a re at him, scaring him to shut up immediately. ¡°Haven¡¯t found Alexa yet?¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, not yet¡­ ¡°Then go to find her!¡± ¡°I Terrence shouted angrily, and the entire Hudson Group was shrouded in darkness. A group of people left his office with sullen faces, but no one was able to bring news about Alexa. Terrence gritted his teeth and shouted. He mmed the table and stood up, brutally pushing everything off the table. He found that he had be blunt. Alexa, a woman with no background or power, could actually fool him around. This woman kept saying in front of him that she had cut off all ties with Brenton, but in the blink of an eye, Alexa dared to elope with Brenton openly! Good, amazing! The hatred in Terrence¡¯s heart was like a poison that was madly breeding, wishing he could cut Brenton into pieces right now! Late at night, Edwin finally found some clues. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, there is a mansion in the area. Brenton is likely to be there.¡± The anger on Terrence¡¯s gloomy face deepened. He directly went to the garage and drove to the mansion personally. He wondered, Alexa, better wait obediently! Edwin immediately sent people to monitor the checkpoints nearby and ordered everyone to rush to the mansion immediately. It was an hourter when Brenton received the news. It was only a one-and-a-half-hour drive, and Terrence should be here soon. He didn¡¯t have time to hesitate and immediately called Alexa, who was in a light sleep. ¡°Alexa, let¡¯s leave here quickly.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Alexa immediately sobered up. ¡°Terrence has found here, right?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Brenton said nervously, ¡°It¡¯ll be toote If we don¡¯t leave now.¡± ¡°Let him take me away. I don¡¯t want to be your burden.¡± ¡°Alexa, we have no way back. Hurry up and go with me.¡± The two caused quite amotion, waking up Lucy and Michael. The dogs in the courtyard kept barking, and someone wasing from afar! ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you leaving?¡± Lucy asked in a panic. ¡°Lucy, Michael, I will exin it to you someday. Now we must leave quickly!¡± The couple immediately understood what Brenton meant, and the atmosphere instantly became tense. Lucy immediately locked the door and led the dog to the inner room. Michael turned on the shlight and whispered cautiously. ¡°Come with me and take the shortcut from the back mountain.¡± Less than five minutes after Alexa and Brenton left, a sudden and gloomy knock sounded in the dark night. ¡°Who is it?¡± Lucy opened the door as usual. When she saw the tall figure standing in the middle of the door, her face immediately turned pale with fright. Terrence was dressed in a dark gray suit. The cold moonlight shone on him, making him seem even colder and more terrifying. ¡°Where is Alexa?¡± He went straight to the point and asked coldly. The coldness around him immediately swept over. Lucy was stunned and asked in confusion. ¡°Alexa? I don¡¯t know her.¡± Terrence slightly curved his lips, and his eyes were cold. ¡°Maybe you know her.¡± Lucy could not help but shiver and back away with a guilty conscience. Although this man was about the same age as Brendon, he exuded a cold and murderous aura, which made people fearful. ¡°Sorry, Madam.¡± Edwin reminded her in a business-like manner and immediately led his people in. Terrence stepped into the house, his sharp eyes searching every inch of the room. ¡°Hey¡­ What are you doing¡­ How can you do this?¡± Lucy shouted, but no one listened to her. Not long after, a group of people nervously rushed out of the main hall. The leader respectfully presented a t shoe in front of Terrence. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, this is Mrs. Ramsey¡¯s shoe.¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes instantly became colder, and sharp killing intent filled his body. ¡°What else do you want to say?¡± Hearing this cold question, Lucy was so scared that she could not even raise her head. ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Terrence narrowed his eyes dangerously, his hands clenched so tightly that the knuckles turned pale. ¡°This ce is called the Darrell Mansion. You said you don¡¯t know!¡± As soon as he finished speaking, a voice pierced the stiff atmosphere. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, there are traces of people at the back mountain.¡± ¡°Follow them!¡± The team instantly disappeared into the courtyard, leaving not a trace behind. Lucy sat on the stone bench with lingering fear. A white light came from behind her. ¡°Gone?¡± Lucy asked nervously. ¡°Yes. I¡¯m afraid this is not a small matter. Should we inform Mrs. Darrell?¡± Michael nodded happily. Lucy rolled her eyes and frowned. ¡°Why should we tell her? She¡¯s a crazy woman.¡± ¡°But Mr. Michael¡­¡± ¡°Mr. Michael was brought up by me. I have only seen him live like this once.¡± Michael sighed deeply, lit a cigarette, and smoked silently. Not long after, he said worriedly. ¡°Are they going to keep running?¡± At this time, Brenton¡¯s car was galloping on the highway, and music was on. Alexa didn¡¯t feel sleepy at all as she watched the lights fly past the window. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. She whispered, ¡°It¡¯s foggy.¡± A smile appeared on Brenton¡¯s face as he replied in a clear voice. ¡°When the fog disperses, it will be sunny.¡± Chapter 188 Chapter 188 Chapter 188 The Consequences of Provoking Terrence Terrence once again found traces of them in the surveince video, but he couldn¡¯t get the woman in the video back to him no matter what. A few dozen people stood silently beside him, no one daring to tickle his feather. After a long time, Terrence finally made a sound. ¡°Keep chasing after them until we catch her,¡± he said lightly. However, at this moment, Brenton had already parked his car by the seaside roadside to enjoy the sunrise with Alexa. The bright sun gradually rose from the sea level, and the light gradually dyed the distant horizon, vast and abundant. Alexa leaned against the car, unaware that her eyes were gradually getting wet. ¡°There are many ces in this world that are worth going to ¡± Brenton gently handed over a cup of hot milk to her. ¡°I will apany you to see the world.¡± ¡°Then what are you going to do? Do you know what the consequences will be if you provoke Terrence?¡± Alexa asked very realistically. ¡°Of course, I know, but I won¡¯t be afraid.¡± ¡°Why?¡± ¡°Because the person I cherish the most is by my side.¡± Brenton tilted his head to look at her, his eyes full of love. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter how the future will be or how the road ahead will be.¡± ¡°Brenton¡­¡± ¡°As long as you are by my side, I will do my best to protect you.¡¯ Alexa clenched the cup. After a long time, the milk was cold. The sun hung quietly above the blue sea, and the salty sea breeze was still gentle. ¡°If you don¡¯t regret it, we will go north.¡± Alexa¡¯s voice was not loud, but it was very firm. ¡°In fact, I have wanted to go north for a long time.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Brenton nodded without hesitation. Alexa couldn¡¯t help but raise her hand to cover her belly as if she could feel the child¡¯s heartbeat. Her belly was getting bigger and bigger day by day, and there wasn¡¯t a way out to dy it. Brenton didn¡¯t ask much. Instead, he pulled strings and found a hospital to arrange a prenatal checkup. When Alexa came out of the examination room, Brenton was making a phone call on the balcony Content held by N?velDrama.Org. with a sad face. There were several cigarette butts scattered under his feet. Alexa recalled that Brenton had already said that he wanted to quit smoking. ¡°You have to find a way to get the medicine. I need it urgently. ¡°I am willing to pay any price¡­¡¯ Alexa pretended not to hear him and silently took two steps back. ¡°Brenton.¡± ¡°Well, have you finished the checkup?¡± He immediately hung up the phone and turned around, subconsciously straightening his clothes. The smell of smoke had notpletely dissipated, and Brenton did not dare to get too close to her. ¡°Everything is normal for the time being. Nothing serious,¡± Alexa replied sinctly. ¡°Okay.¡± Brenton naturally held her hand, and the two were like a loving couple. ¡°I bought a house nearby. Let¡¯s stay for two days before leaving.¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Alexa was as gentle as a flower in full bloom. After seeing so much scenery, she was in a much better mood. When they left the hospital, she and Brenton sat on the roadside stall and ordered two bowls of congee. ¡°Terrence seems to be still dogging us. Are you afraid?¡± Brenton asked with a smile. ¡°I¡¯m not afraid. It¡¯s useless to be afraid,¡± Alexa answered crisply. The camera hidden in the dark took a clear picture of the two, and the photo was quickly sent back to New York. The president¡¯s office was once again in a mess. The moment Terrence thought of how they were talking andughing, the anger in his heart instantly swallowed up all his rationality. Not long after, a top-notch helicopter roared and hovered on the roof of Hudson Group. Alexa and Brenton had already finished their lunch and were walking side by side toward their residence. The people around them suddenly increased, and all of them walked toward the two at the same time. Brenton immediately sensed that something was wrong and quietly brought Alexa to the car. Alexa also noticed Brenton¡¯s abnormality, and her eyes became alert. When Brenton opened the door, the people around him immediately ran over. He didn¡¯t dare to dy for a moment. After letting Alexa get in the car, Brenton immediately sat in the driver¡¯s seat and started the engine. The moment those people were about to pounce on him, the silver-gray Mercedes-Benz immediately galloped away. ¡°Don¡¯t let them run away, go catch them!¡± However, Brenton was more familiar with the road conditions here than they were. The car turned left and right at big and small intersections and soon disappeared. When Terrence arrived, his people ran around aimlessly, not even seeing the shadow of Alexa. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, I¡¯m very sorry. Mrs. Ramsey was taken away by Brenton again.¡± He looked at the old street scenery here, and a sinister smile gradually appeared on his cold face. ¡°No need to chase.¡± Terrence said coldly, ¡°I will let here back to me by herself.¡± At this moment, Brenton¡¯s car had already hit the national highway and was rushing to the next city. Alexa was depressed. She leaned against the back of the seat and said in a low voice. ¡°Were they Terrence¡¯s men?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Brenton answered without hesitation. Alexa curled her lips in disdain and said resentfully. ¡°Then he is really amazing¡± Brenton did not take Terrence seriously and even got out of the car to buy some cherries for Alexa The further north they went, theter spring came. After Alexa ate the cherries, Brenton had already entered Chicago. ¡°Are you hungry? Let¡¯s go eat something.¡±¡± Alexa was scared out of her mind by Terrence and did not dare to wander on the street. However, Brenton was not worried at all and even said with interest. ¡°I have a friend who runs a private restaurant here. I will take you there¡± After saying that, Brenton drove there. His phone kept ringing, but Brenton ignored it. ¡°Is there something urgent? You can deal with it first,¡± Alexa said. ¡°What urgent matter can I have?¡± Brenton smiled calmly, ¡°I shouldn¡¯t be in charge of the ¡°Your family will worry about you.¡± ¡°That¡¯s impossible.¡± Brenton¡¯s eyebrows instantly furrowed, and his zing eyes became cold. ¡°Even if I die outside, she won¡¯t care.¡± Hearing this, Alexa remembered something. Brenton had told her before that his rtionship with his mother was very poor. ¡°Sorry.¡± ¡°Those aren¡¯t important. Let¡¯s eat first,¡± Brenton said nonchntly. After getting out of the car, they saw an elegantly decorated room in front of them. A young man in navy blue hemp clothes stood at the door and waved warmly at them. ¡°Brenton, how are you? This is Ms. Duran you talked about, right? Hello.¡± ¡°This is Jimmy Osborn, my best friend for many years.¡± ¡°Hello, Mr. Osborn.¡± Alexa greeted him gracefully but found that Jimmy had been staring at her. Jimmy was born into a rich family, and he had seen all kinds of socialites before. He thought he wouldn¡¯t have any emotions in his heart when he saw pretty girls. But when he saw Alexa today, he knew he was wrong. ¡°I have been around for so many years, but I have never seen this fairy-like youngdy.¡± ¡°Mr. Osborn, you ttered me. When Brenton heard this, he couldn¡¯t help but clench Alexa¡¯s hand and secretly dere his rtionship with her. Chapter 189 Chapter 189 Chapter 189 Want to See You Get Married Jimmy smiled and turned to lead the way. ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to serve the dishes since you¡¯ve arrived. Have a seat.¡± Brenton pulled out a chair for Alexa. His gaze was so gentle as he looked at her. Jimmy saw Brenton like this and couldn¡¯t take his affection. In a few minutes, the neatly dressed waiters served the dishes one after another. ¡°The dishes are all designed by me,¡± Jimmy said proudly. ¡°Ms. Duran, please enjoy them.¡± ¡°Thank you, Mr. Osborn.¡± Alexa politely replied. Brenton had piled up some food on her te. Brenton didn¡¯t serve himself and asked straightforwardly. ¡°Where is the thing I asked you to bring here?¡± ¡°Give me some time. I think it will be here soon. The conversation between the two was mysterious. Alexa didn¡¯t know what they were talking about and just ate silently. Then, someone knocked on the door. Jimmy¡¯s assistant brought in a safe and ced it respectfully on the table. ¡°Is it that fast?¡± Jimmy was overjoyed and couldn¡¯t wait to open the safe in front of them. A burst of cold air was released, and Jimmy¡¯s eyes darkened. He carefully took out the things inside. ¡°This is it.¡± Jimmy said, and a light blue potion appeared in front of them. Alexa instantly became nervous and held her breath. Could this be the potion that Brenton asked someone to look for at the hospital that day? ¡°The research institute asked for 5 million dors for each of them. But Brenton agreed without thinking.¡± Jirnmy teased, and his words were like a boulder pressing against Alexa¡¯s heart. Brenton didn¡¯t show any emotion. He sucked the medicine into the syringe and looked at Alexa. ¡°Do I need to use this potion?¡± ¡°This is a special medicine that I entrusted the drug research institute in South Korea to develop for you,¡± Brenton exined. ¡°It has passed the experiment and will be totally safe.¡± ¡°But I don¡¯t have 5 million dors¡­¡± Brenton didn¡¯t intend to talk about money with Alexa. He grabbed Alexa¡¯s wrist and gently put the needle under her skin. The cold liquid was slowly injected into her skin. Alexa frowned in difort. ¡°Hold on. It will end soon.¡± Brenton finished the injection meticulously and immediately looked up at Alexa. ¡°How do you feel? Tell me if you feel ufortable.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not ufortable.¡± Alexa said weakly and raised her hand weakly to her forehead. ¡°I¡¯m fine. I just have a headache. I might have caught a cold.¡± Brenton raised his hand nervously to touch her forehead with a serious expression. ¡°No fever.¡± Brenton took the opportunity to hold her hand. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the hospital now.¡± Alexa walked a few steps after him, but in the end, her legs went limp. Cold sweat appeared on her forehead, and her head began to ache. Strange memories suddenly broke through her memory and flooded her mind. She felt a heart-wrenching pain! When Brenton saw her like this, he was so anxious that he almost went crazy. ¡°How could this be?¡± Jimmy frowned. ¡°There shouldn¡¯t be such a side effect. Let¡¯s go to the hospital.¡± Brenton couldn¡¯t care less. He immediately picked up Alexa and ran out. When Alexa woke up, she found herself in a strange ce. Brenton stood by her bed. When he noticed Alexa¡¯s reaction, he came over nervously. ¡°Alexa, how do you feel? I will call the doctor over.¡± Alexa shook her head weakly. After sitting up straight, she raised her hand to cover her forehead in exhaustion. ¡°I seem to have had a long dream,¡± she said slowly, word by word. ¡°A very sad dream¡± ¡°Alexa, don¡¯t think so much. Have a good rest.¡± Brenton brought a cup of warm water to her. Alexa paused for a long time and continued. ¡°This dream is real. I even feel like it happened a long time ago.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°It happened when I was young. I saved a person by the sea by myself.¡± ¡°Save someone?¡± ¡°That person was seriously injured, but I seemed to know medicine at that time, so I cured him. ¡°But my parents wanted to take me away from that ce. I can¡¯t remember what happened after that. ¡°I can¡¯t see that person¡¯s face, but¡­¡± Alexa suddenly stopped talking as if she was recalling a painful memory. Brenton didn¡¯t want anything to happen to her again, so he helped Alexa lie down. ¡°The doctor said that you have been exhaustedtely. You have to rest well.¡± ¡°Hmm.¡± ¡°I have contacted the research team. They will analyze the results of the examination soon.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Seeing that Alexa seemed to be drained, Brenton did not say much. After tucking Alexa in, he went out. He thought, she will be fine. When Brenton turned around to face Alexa with his back, his face was full of worry. Alexa closed her eyes and recalled that person¡¯s face over and over again in her mind. How could it be Terrence? T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Did they have something to do with each other before? Alexa thought back to the time when she was 16 years old, but it was strange. It was as if she missed that year, and she couldn¡¯t remember anything. Brenton went out and answered a phone call with a gloomy face. ¡°What is it?¡± After hearing Brenton¡¯s voice, the caller exploded. ¡°Brenton! Why didn¡¯t you pick up my call? Won¡¯t you feel guilty? Do you know that I¡­¡± The sharp roar suddenly stopped, and the woman covered her chest and cried. ¡°Do you know how much trouble you have caused for our family? Terrence almost acquired our company!¡± ¡°Oh, is that so? That¡¯s good, and you will be free.¡± ¡°What will our rtives and outsiders think of us? Do you want me to never live with confidence again? ¡°How can I have such a selfish son like you? ¡°I order you toe back, or I will do something to that woman.¡± Brenton frowned as he became impatient. He had long since been immune to Tania¡¯s words, but when Tania mentioned Alexa, the anger in Brenton¡¯s heart immediately surged. ¡°I already said that I won¡¯te back.¡± Hearing Brenton¡¯s indifference, Tania was no longer fierce. She sobbed and condescended herself to beg. ¡°Brenton, I beg you. You¡¯re my only son. If you want to leave with that woman, how will I live?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been living alone all these years, haven¡¯t I?¡¯ Brenton replied indifferently, making Tania speechless. She choked for a long time before giving in unhappily. ¡°At the very least, you can¡¯t just ignore everything Thepany is the work of my painstaking effort¡± Tania pointed out her purpose. ¡°And in my lifetime, I want to see you get married to a good girl and have children with her.¡± Chapter 190 Chapter 190 Chapter 190 Terrence Catches Up Tania talked a lot, but what really concerned her was the old stuff. Brentonpletely lost his patience and directly hung up the phone. Tania was stunned for a long time. She pounded her chest and stamped her feet in pain. ¡°Life is hard on me. Why would I be punished like this?¡± ¦£ Athena Golding sensibly poured a cup of hot coffee for Tania and gentlyforted her. ¡°Tania, Mr. Darrell just likes having fun. When he gets tired of it, he wille around.¡± ¡°I really don¡¯t know what he is thinking!¡± Tania red up instantly. ¡°He said that the woman was pregnant with his child!¡± ¡°What?¡± Athena pretended to be surprised, but there was a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes. The Golding family and the Darrell family were on good terms. Athena believed she was destined to be Brenton¡¯s wife since she was born. Brenton could flirt with other women, but he wasn¡¯t allowed to cause trouble. Tania mmed the table and stood up, gnashing her teeth in hatred. ¡°Who knows the identity of the father? I think it must be Terrence!¡± ¡°She wants to make use of this excuse to marry Brenton, but it is not such a good thing.¡± Athena fueled the oil. ¡°As long as the child is not born, there is always a solution.¡± ¡°How do we resolve this?¡± Tania mumbled in a low voice, ¡°She is now a treasure in Brenton¡¯s heart.¡± ¡°Tania, leave this matter to me.¡± Tania thought about it and nodded with a deep gaze. ¡°That¡¯s good. Soon you will be the daughter-inw of the Darrell Family. You have the right to take care of these things.¡± Athena smiled softly, and her delicate face was filled with killing intent. Athena wouldn¡¯t have mercy on such a woman as Alexa. At this time, Brenton had already returned to the ward to apany Alexa. Alexa was already asleep, but she was frowning. She should have a nightmare. Brenton held her hand tightly, his heart full of mixed feelings. What if¡­ he couldn¡¯t protect her? In fact, Brenton had some doubts about his ability, but he had no way out. If Alexa fell back into Terrence¡¯s hands, she would definitely be tortured again. Why are you so stubborn? Brenton sighed helplessly. Why do you have to stay with him? Not long after, Brenton¡¯s subordinates gathered outside the door in secret. When Brenton went out, he immediately resumed his deep expression. ¡°Mr. Darrell, we have already found traces of Keyon.¡± ¡°Tell me.¡± ¡°He has been hanging around everywhere for the past few days as if he is looking for something.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°And ording to his whereabouts, there must be a huge special organization behind Keyon.¡± ¡°Is there any evidence?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± The person in the lead simply replied and handed a stack of information to Brenton. ¡°We investigated his transaction records and the location of his activities. Several suspicious transaction records were hidden, and the corresponding locations could not be found.¡± Brenton frowned deeply, increasingly feeling that Keyon was suspicious. First, Keyon suddenly returned to New York, and then he suddenly disappeared. This was strange. If it was just to meet Alexa, why didn¡¯t Keyon take her away? ¡°Keep track of him. If you find anything new, report it to me immediately.¡± Not long after this group of people left, another group of people ran over. ¡°Mr. Darrell, Terrence hase. He will probably arrive at the hospital in ten minutes.¡± ¡°It¡¯s really a haunting soul.¡± Brenton gritted his teeth and immediately rushed into the ward to take Alexa away. This time, Terrence was well prepared. He even kept an eye on the garage. When Terrence barged in from the main entrance, he happened to see Brenton running over from the tform on the third floor. ¡°Stop them!¡± Terrence shouted angrily and personally led his men to chase after Brenton. When he saw Alexa in Brenton¡¯s arms, Terrence wished he could cut Brenton into pieces right now! Alexa was Terrence¡¯s woman, so how dare Brenton touch her! Brenton carried Alexa all the way to a ce where no one was around. Some sleeping pills had been injected into Alexa¡¯s body. When she woke up, she was confused about what was going on. ¡°Brenton, Brenton!¡± ¡°I am here.¡± Brenton joked, ¡°We have to run again.¡± ¡°Put me down. Don¡¯t run anymore.¡± Hearing Brenton¡¯s increasingly heavy breath, Alexa felt very sorry. ¡°There¡¯s no need. Thank you.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t say this now.¡± Brenton never thought of letting her go. He even hugged her even tighter. ¡°I¡¯m afraid that once I let you go, I won¡¯t be able to hold you anymore.¡± ¡°Brenton¡­¡± ¡°Alexa, let¡¯s bet.¡± Brenton tried hard to adjust his breath, but he never stopped. ¡°If Terrence doesn¡¯t catch you, juste with me forever, okay?¡± Alexa was silent and did not answer him immediately. In her opinion, she was not qualified to make a promise to others. Not long after, Brenton carried her to the rooftop. He immediately locked the door and pressed his whole body against the door. Not far away, there was the roar of a helicopter. Brenton saw the ¡°P¡± printed on it and immediately understood that it was the Powell family¡¯s machine. ¡°Damn it. What is he doing here?¡± Brenton muttered in dissatisfaction, but he did not hesitate to wave at the helicopter The helicopter was suspended on the roof. Kieran leaned out of the door and reached out to Alexa. Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Alexa,e here.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Alexa looked at Brenton worriedly and did not move a single step. ¡°What about you?¡± Someone was frantically knocking on the door, and Brenton felt the pressure on his back increase As soon as Brenton left, the people behind him would immediately rush in. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me. Hurry up and leave!¡± Terrence, who was at the door, heard this shout. He immediately ordered with a gloomy face, ¡°Cut the door open ¡°Alexa, just go!¡± Brenton roared hysterically, ¡°Hurry up and leave. Don¡¯t worry about me.¡± Alexa finally broke the deadlock and ran to Kieran without looking back. Seeing the helicopter fly into the distance, Brenton suppressed his emotions and retreated to the side fearlessly. As expected, the thin wooden boards were immediately knocked away. Terrence led a few dozen people and swarmed over, covering the entire rooftop. Brenton adjusted his messy clothes in a cynical manner. The fragrance of lily still lingered around him as if Alexa had never left. Terrence stood in front of Brenton coldly, his deep eyes filled with solemn killing intent. ¡°It¡¯s been a long time.¡± Brenton sneered lightly, ¡°You finally caught up with me.¡± ¡°What did you do to her?¡± Hearing this, Brenton instantly broke out intoughter. ¡°Terrence, who do you think you are? What right do you have to question me like this?¡± Terrence did not reply. He stepped forward and grabbed Brenton¡¯s cor, and in the blink of an eye, he threw a solid punch at Brenton. Brenton was hit to the side, and blood immediately emerged from the corner of his mouth. The left side of his face was also printed with a shocking bruise. ¡°Damn you.¡± Terrence appeared calm on the surface, but his heart had long since gone mad. Chapter 191 Chapter 191 Chapter 191 You Still Have Not Repented ¡°Brenton, I¡¯m asking you a question.¡± Terrence said in a low voice and suddenly kicked Brenton. ¡°You want to know?¡± Brenton replied in a sarcastic tone, ¡°Terrence, do you really want to know?¡± Brenton¡¯s sarcastic tone immediately angered Terrence, who clenched his teeth tightly and hit Brenton more ruthlessly. Brenton was almostpletely covered in injuries. He soony on the ground and could no longer get up. However, the more pain he felt, the more clear headed he became. Brenton raised his hand to support half of his body. He lowered his head. Then Brenton whispered, ¡°I love her¡­¡± Hearing Brenton say these words, Terrence instantly lost control of himself and punched Brenton again and again. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Shut up!¡± ¡°Terrence, you can¡¯t change anything.¡± Brenton earnestly and piously repeated, ¡°I love her.¡± These three words added to Terrence¡¯s fury, making him want to destroy something even more urgently. The more furious Terrence was, the better Brenton felt. All of this could only prove that Terrence wasplete trash! ¡°You have always minded that child, haven¡¯t you?¡± Brenton was beaten to the point that he was coughing up blood. In the end, he cked out and fell unconscious to the ground. Terrence¡¯s neat suit was messy. He used a handkerchief to wipe the blood off his hands and finally left. The sky was gloomy. It rained heavily. Alexa, who had already left, felt her heart beat faster and faster. She pressed her chest softly, but there was no relief. Kieran handed over a dry hot towel and looked at her with resignation. ¡°If I¡¯m not by your side and keeping an eye on you, you never know how to take care of yourself.¡±¡® He said a few words seriously, but still handed the pill to her. ¡°I have adjusted the healing pills ording to your situation. This new medicine will be more effective.¡± Alexa ate the medicine quietly and then took the warm milk he handed over. After a rest, Alexa was finally willing to speak. ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°If Terrence cane, why can¡¯t Ie?¡± ¡°In that case, can you ask someone to go back and check up on Brenton?¡± Seeing that she was so concerned about Brenton, Kieran was stunned. ¡°He will be fine. There are many people secretly protecting him. What about you? Are you not afraid?¡± ¡°No,¡± Alexa said in an easy tone, ¡°Anyway, I won¡¯t live long. Other than death, there is nothing worthy of my concern.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense.¡± Kieran calmly interrupted her. His handsome face seemed to be covered with ayer of gloom. ¡°Go to my recuperation center. At least, Terrence can¡¯t take you away so brazenly.¡± ¡°Thank you, Dr. Powell, but there is no need.¡± ¡°Why?¡± ¡°I want to find my brother and leave New York with him.¡± ¡°Then where would you go?¡± ¡°Anywhere is fine.¡± Alexa said calmly, ¡°As long as we leave this ce.¡± Kieran understood her n, so he did not n to talk her out of this idea. ¡°Before Terrencees, I will find a way to send you away.¡± ¡°Terrence?¡± Alexa was stunned for a long time. It seemed that Terrence was already very strange to her. ¡°In a few days, I willpletely forget him.¡± Kieran was very surprised by Alexa¡¯s change in attitude, but he did not say anything in the end. It was a good thing that she could take the initiative to start a new life After the helicopternded in New York, Kieran personally sent Alexa to the apartment Alexa stood alone under the dim yellow streetmp and leaned over his window ¡°Dr. Powell, thank you.¡± Kieran smiled helplessly. He said loudly, ¡°Don¡¯t call me Dr. Powell. Just call me Kieran.¡± When Alexa heard this, the smile on her face became brighter ¡°You may excuse yourself. I can go up alone.¡± ¡°I will send you up.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Alexa said in a deep tone, ¡°I have to walk the rest of the road by myself¡± After that, she turned and walked into the corridor. Kieran saw her slowly disappearing down the stairs, and his heart seemed to be pressed by a huge stone. ¡°Alexa.¡± He suddenly called out to her. Alexa turned around. She asked in a very normal manner, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Nothing. You can go home.¡± Kieran said very stiffly. When he saw herpletely walk out of his line of sight, he drove away. That night, Kieran went to the bar for the first time. Alexa was focused on walking home. She was also worried about Brenton, so she was in a trance. Therefore, shepletely did not notice the figure in front of her. Just as she was about to walk past him, the person in front of her suddenly moved. He grabbed her by the neck and pressed her against the wall. Alexa was so scared that her face turned pale. When she saw who this person was, she felt as if she was facing a great enemy. ¡°Terrence¡­¡¯ Alexa found it more and more difficult to breathe She could not even squeeze out aplete sentence. Terrence¡¯s hostility was abnormally heightened, and it was even mixed with monstrous hatred ¡°Are you very cool?¡± He gritted his teeth. ¡°Let me go¡­¡± Alexa wanted to shout, but she couldn¡¯t. Terrence grabbed her neck more tightly as if he meant to break her neck. Alexa put her hands on his wrist, but it was useless. ¡°I spoil you and you dare to elope with a wild man?¡± The coldness in his eyes gradually condensed into ice. There was no warmth in his eyes as he looked at Alexa. Alexa¡¯s eyes gradually reddened. The salty and warm tears continued to soak into the back of his hand. Terrence suddenly swung his hand. Alexa was caught off guard and fell weakly against the wall. Alexa immediately ran upstairs, but before she took a few steps, Terrence ruthlessly grabbed her back. ¡°You still want to run?¡± ¡°Let me go!¡± ¡°Do you know what bes of Brenton?¡± Terrence whispered sinisterly, instantly suppressing Alexa to the point that she did not dare move. ¡°What did you do?¡± Alexa asked in a trembling voice, her tone mixed with deep panic and uneasiness. ¡°Terrence, what did you do?¡± Alexa nearly broke down, her heart continuously aching. ¡°You want to know?¡± Terrence¡¯s smile became colder and colder, and his fingers gently stroked the side of her face. ¡°Thest time David called me back was because you were going to have a miscarriage operation.¡± He spoke coldly without any warmth and looked down at her lower abdomen. ¡°Looks like you didn¡¯t do it. I¡¯ll go with you right now.¡± ¡°Terrence, let go of me!¡± ¡°I will do everything you want. Don¡¯t tell me I don¡¯t love you enough.¡± Alexa tried her best to extract her hand, but she failed. She suddenly lowered her head and bit his palm. The salty and rusty smell of blood quickly filled her mouth, but Terrence had no intention of letting her go. In the end, it was Alexa who couldn¡¯t hold on and fell to the ground, retching weakly. Terrence looked down at her thin body and sneered at the blood on the back of his hand. ¡°It seems that you still haven¡¯t repented. Alexa, I am very disappointed in you.¡± Alexa pressed her chest in pain. The acid in her stomach had already been vomited out, and she even coughed out blood in the end. In an instant, Terrence also panicked. Chapter 192 Chapter 192 Chapter 192 You Will Run Away With Another Man ¡°Alexa, you¡­¡± Alexa pushed his hand away in disgust and staggered to the door. She opened the door and entered the house, but the house was dark and empty Keyon is not home? Alexa could barely conceal her disappointment, but she still walked in. After all, this was her home. But before she could close the door, Terrence reached out and held the door ¡°What are you doing? Go away!¡± Alexa growled hoarsely. ¡°Let me in.¡± ¡°Go away! This is my home. You can¡¯t get in ¡± Terrence sneered, ¡°Believe it or not, I can buy this building. If so, you can only sleep on the street.¡± What a ck day! Alexa rolled her eyes and reluctantly stepped aside. Terrence entered the room and looked around at the furnishing and decoration in this house. Keyon designed this house ording to Alexa¡¯s preferences. It was warm and furnished with many photos and old things about their family. This was also the reason why Alexa did not want Terrence to get in. This was the purest ce in her heart, and Terrence was not qualified to set foot in this ce! Terrence also saw Keyon¡¯s items, and his unhappy face darkened more. He went straight to the sofa and sat down, asking in a domineering tone. ¡°What have you been busy with these days?¡± But Alexa ignored him, changed her shoes, and went to her bedroom. Terrence was getting even angrier and growled in displeasure. ¡°Alexa,e here! Who tells you that you can leave?¡± Alexa walked back to him and said indifferently. ¡°You should leave now. This is my home, and you are not wee here.¡± ¡°Your home?¡± Terrence sneered contemptuously, ¡°It¡¯s not even your parent¡¯s home.¡± Alexa¡¯s eyes were red as if she had just stopped crying. ¡°Come over here,¡± Terrence ordered. Alexa hadn¡¯t had a good rest for the past few days. In addition, she still didn¡¯t know what happened to Brenton and where he was now. Now she saw Terrence, she only felt resentful and disgusted. Alexa did not say a word and turned to leave with a face of disgust. Terrence was already angry, and now he was irritated and furious. ¡°Alexa, don¡¯t you hear me?¡± He got up and chased after her, and Alexa just entered the bathroom. Terrence broke through and pressed Alexa to the tiled wall. In an aggressive manner, Terrence fiercely grabbed and pinned Alexa¡¯s hands above her head and then pressed her closer. ¡°Go away¡­¡± Alexa cried in fear. But Terrence did not let her go at all. Instead, he felt a twisted desire for possessiveness rose in his heart. ¡°Do you think your tears can stop me?¡± Terrence whispered harshly, ¡°I won¡¯t let you off so easily!¡± Alexa desperately turned her head to avoid his gaze. Her vision got blurred because of her tears. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. What exactly did she do wrong? Why did she have to take this torture? Suddenly, Terrence noticed something on her finger. There was a dazzling diamond ring on the middle finger of Alexa¡¯s left hand. Brenton had worn it on her hand when she was in the hospital to save her a lot of trouble. But now, it had attracted the biggest trouble for Alexa. Terrence violently took off the ring from her finger and smashed it to the ground, his face darkened. ¡°He has already proposed to you?¡± Terrence was trying to suppress his anger, but his reason was gone bit by bit. Alexa pursed her lips in disdain. She disdained him badly when he acted like this. He acted as if he was an affectionate and loyal husband. ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa nodded calmly. ¡°You still don¡¯t understand? I have already epted his proposal and we will hold a wedding after I give birth to this child.¡± Terrence suddenly loosened the grip on her hands and gritted his teeth, managing to restrain his anger. But Alexa did not care about his anger anymore and even wanted the storm to get bigger. ¡°Will youe? I¡¯m generous enough to invite my ex husband to my next wedding.¡± Terrence was angered and speechless by her words. He opened his mouth but found it hard to say another word. Alexa had already signed the divorce agreement. From beginning to end, it was he who always pestered her. Terrence certainly understood it, but he still couldn¡¯t let go. ¡°Did I allow it?¡± Terrence was furious and grabbed her left shoulder with one hand ¡°Even if you want to marry him, he should be alive first, right? ?? Alexa¡¯s gaunt face turned as pale as a sheet in an instant. She tried hard to hold back her tears, ring at Terrence stubbornly. ¡°Terrence, we already got divorced. What exactly do you want?¡± ¡°What do I want? Don¡¯t you know? I want you toe back with me.¡± ¡°No way,¡± Alexa immediately refused him in a cold tone. Terrence could do nothing about it. Then, suddenly, he let go of her and left the bathroom. Alexa thought that he had left and returned to her bedroom after taking a shower. However, when she got into the room, Terrence was still sitting on the sofa with a gloomy face. He looked quite lonely. Alexa was shocked and said with dissatisfaction. ¡°Why haven¡¯t you left yet?¡± ¡°Are you done washing? Where are my clothes?¡± Terrence asked. Alexa retorted impatiently, ¡°What clothes? Leave here right now. I¡¯m not your servant.¡± But Terrence raised his eyes and looked at her with a faint smile and had no intention of leaving at all. ¡°I am your husband. Of course, I have to stay with you and keep an eye on you. Otherwise, you will run away with another man again.¡± After saying that, Terrence suddenly got up, startling Alexa so much that she quickly stepped back. Looking at Alexa¡¯s reaction as if she was facing an enemy, Terrence couldn¡¯t help but sneer. The anger he showed in front of Alexa was less than one in ten thousand in his heart. If she knew what happened to Brenton, she would probably cry to faint. Terrence looked away indifferently and walked straight to her room. ¡°Go away!¡± Alexa urged anxiously behind him, but Terrence turned a deaf ear. Her room looked even warmer than the living room, which showed how gentle and passionate the owner of this room was. But Terrence ignored it and directly opened her wardrobe. Her clothes were neatly ced inside, and he didn¡¯t see any clothing for men. Terrence was satisfied and immediately called Edwin to take his belongings over. Expressionless, Alexa watched him make a call and order his assistant, and finally, she lifted the quilt andy down. Terrence stood at the bed and took off his clothes with no intent to avoid Alexa¡¯s gaze. Then he picked up his bathrobe and went to the bathroom. Alexa was so angry that she threw his clothes out and locked the door. When Terrence came out of the bathroom and saw his clothes scattered on the floor, he smiled. Awesome. He picked up his clothes and walked to the living room. In the middle of the night, he easily opened the door of Alexa¡¯s bedroom and quietly slipped in. Alexa¡¯s security awareness was so weak. She should have known that the door lock could not shut him out at all. Terrence walked to the bedside. Alexa had already fallen asleep and did not notice himing at all. He lifted the quilt andy down on another side of the bed, holding Alexa in his arms. Alexa seemed to be not used to this Intimate contact and moaned in difort. Terrence greedily held her left hand and intertwined his fingers with hers. But then, he felt something sharp on her finger. Alexa was still wearing the ring. Chapter 193 Chapter 193 Chapter 193 Alexa Gets Attacked With Acid Feeling like something was suddenly broken in his heart as if he couldn¡¯t fix it again no matter how hard he tried, Terrence was at a loss. He had thought that Alexa was just acting with Brenton because she still got mad at him. Unexpectedly, her feelings for Brenton were actually real. It was the first time Terrence had felt jealousy and a lump in his throat. Alexa seemed to feel uneasy in her sleep. Her thin body curled up in difort as if she was very insecure. Then, Alexa frowned deeply and blurted out urgently. ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Terrence behind her was stunned, and then he listened carefully for a while. He felt his heart in his throat. ¡°Alexa?¡± Terrence said tentatively, but Alexa did not respond to him. Soon, her breathing became even again. Terrence breathed a sigh of relief and fell asleep with her in his arms. Early the next morning, Alexa let out a scream when she woke up. When she saw the man sleeping next to her, Alexa was scared half to death. ¡°Terrence! How could you be here!¡± Terrence got up and prepared to change his clothes in aposed manner. When he took off his robe, Alexa ran out in embarrassment and annoyance. However, just as she walked into the living room, she heard a sound at the door. Keyon suddenly pushed open the door and walked into the house. Seeing him, Alexa stiffened on the spot. ¡°Keyon¡­¡± ¡°Alexa?¡± Keyon was also very surprised. ¡°When did youe back?¡± Just as Keyon finished speaking, Terrence walked over and stood behind Alexa, fixing his eyes on Keyon coldly. ¡°¡±¡±Terrence!¡± Keyon instantly became angry. ¡°Why are you here? Get out!¡± But Terrence mocked, ¡°Sorry, you can¡¯t ask me to leave 1 am here to take care of my wifey¡± Hearing his shameless words, Keyon was so angry that his face turned red. ¡°Alexa doesn¡¯t need you to take care of her. Get out!¡± Terrence calmly smiled and ignored him. Alexa didn¡¯t want to cause trouble for Keyon, so she took the initiative to y the peacemaker ¡°Keyon, it¡¯s fine.¡± Keyon nced at Terrence indifferently. He didn¡¯t want to waste his time on this guy at all ¡°Alexa, you haven¡¯t had breakfast yet, right? Let me cook something to eat for you,¡± Keyon kindly said. ¡°Sure.¡± This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Alexa nodded happily, but Terrence was one step ahead. He put on the apron and went to the kitchen. ¡°I will take care of it in terms of this kind of important thing. Stay out of it.¡± Terrence¡¯s disgusting speech annoyed Keyon badly as he cast a malicious stare at Terrence, wishing that he could teach Terrence a good lesson right now. But Alexa stopped him by his arm and said with a smile. ¡°Keyon, let¡¯s get out for a walk.¡± Seeing that Alexa only talked to Keyon nicely, Terrence was also annoyed and wished he could take Alexa away right now. But Alexa didn¡¯t care about Terrence¡¯s reaction at all and went out with Keyon without saying a word to Terrence. Terrence had no choice but to get into the kitchen. But soon he found that the refrigerator was empty. Instantly, Terrence sensed that something was wrong. At this time, Alexa was in the garden downstairs with Keyon. They walked side by side, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. ¡°Keyon, you should know about what happened to Brenton, right? How is he now?¡± ¡°I knew I couldn¡¯t keep it from you for long. Brenton was sent to Butterness Hospitalst night. He was seriously injured and broke four of his ribs,¡± Keyon solemnly said. Hearing this, Alexa couldn¡¯t stop crying. Her eyes immediately turned red. ¡°It was all my fault¡­ ¡°Terrence is still targeting the Darrell group. I asked several friends of mine to help, but I didn¡¯t know if they could offer any help. up ¡°I shouldn¡¯t have been so willful and left with Brenton that day, otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t end like this.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t me yourself, Alexa. It was Terrence. He is a heartless and cruel man.¡± Keyon angrily gritted his teeth and changed the topic. ¡°Alexa, I just want you to know who is truly sincere to you and who is trying to hurt you.¡± Hearing this, Alexa didn¡¯t know what to say. Keyon had already made it clear, telling her not to contact Terrence again. However, how could it be so simple and easy for her to let go? Seeing that she frowned with worries, Keyon added something big. ¡°I have already sold some property and gathered 500 thousand dors. We can repay his debt now.¡± ¡°But Keyon, where can we go?¡± Alexa and Brenton had hidden for so many days, but Terrence could still find them. It seemed that wherever there were people, there would be Terrence¡¯s ears and eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Alexa. I have purchased a house in France. We can move there.¡± Keyon nced at Alexa and continued, ¡°If it doesn¡¯t work, there is actually another way.¡± ¡°What way?¡± ¡°You can marry Kieran and force Terrence to give upon you.¡± ¡°What¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Alexa. The Powell family are old friends of our family. Mr. Powell will definitely agree with it. After we leave, your marriage with Kieran will be void.¡± Keyon had nned everything, but Alexa still didn¡¯t dare to agree immediately. Why did it have to be the Powell family? And why did it have to be Kieran¡­ While Alexa was lost in thought, someone suddenly pounced on her and shouted hysterically. ¡°Alexa, go to hell!¡± Before Alexa could react, a light yellow liquid suddenly sshed over. ¡°Alexa! Watch out!¡± Alexa did not have time to dodge and subconsciously closed her eyes. But she did not feel anything for a few seconds. Someone held her in his arms tightly¡­ Keyon blocked the attack on her. His expression did not change as he said calmly. ¡°Fortunately, you are not injured.¡± Alexa soon smelled something strange. When Keyon turned around and had his back to her, Alexa saw that the clothes on his back had already been corroded, and the liquid also corroded his skin in ces. It was¡­ It was sulfuric acid! Alexa immediately felt fear in her heart. Keyon had already subdued the female attacker. His eyes were filled with the ruthlessness that he had never had before. Walking with death was amon thing for Keyon for the past few years, but he had never been as afraid as just now. Alexa was his life! ¡°Brynlee, what are you doing here!¡± Alexa eximed. Not far away, Terrence also heard the sound and rushed over. ¡°Alexa¡­ You fucking¡­¡± Keyon pinched her wrists harder, causing Brynlee to let out a scream in pain. She dared not to speak again. But when Brynlee saw Terrence, her eyes were instantly filled with tears. ¡°Terrence, help me!¡± Terrence saw the bottle on the ground and tried to figure out what happened just now. But Alexa sneered and red at Terrence with hatred in her eyes. ¡°Look what your fianc¨¦e did! How dare she hurt my brother! Terrence, I will not let you off this time!¡± ¡°Terrence! Alexa tried to hurt me¡­¡± Alexa ignored them and quickly went forward to help Keyon take off his coat. Seeing that his back was corroded by sulfuric acid, Alexa couldn¡¯t help but cry in pain. Chapter 194 Chapter 194 Chapter 194 The Wedding ¡°Keyon, I¡¯ll call the ambnce right now. Hold on!¡± The scene instantly turned into chaos. Brynlee took the opportunity and crawled to Terrence on her hands and knees. ¡°Terrence, you have to trust me. It¡¯s not my fault¡­¡± Content held by N?velDrama.Org. When Terrence saw Brynlee, his face was full of disgust as he walked away indifferently. ¡°Take my¡­¡± Before Terrence could finish speaking, a Bentley stopped steadily in front of them. ¡°What happened?¡± Kieran immediately got out of the car and asked. ¡°Dr. Powell! Hurry up! Help Keyon! He was sshed with sulfuric acid¡­¡± Alexa anxiously said, as if she had seen thest hope. Kieran did not dare to dy. He immediately helped Keyon into the car with Alexa and rushed toward the hospital. Terrence drove behind them, feeling very depressed. At such a critical moment, Alexa would rather ask someone else for help than turn to him. When he arrived at the hospital, he saw Alexa sitting alone at the door of the operating room. ¡°Is he okay?¡± Terrence asked, but Alexa didn¡¯t even look at him. She sat there in a daze and didn¡¯t speak. ¡°Alexa, I¡¯m asking you.¡± Alexa put on a long face and moved aside, saying indifferently. ¡°It¡¯s none of your business.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know what happened just now, but I will definitely investigate it and give you an exnation.¡± ¡°How could I dare to expect an exnation from you, Mr. Ramsey?¡± Alexa sneered, ¡°If it weren¡¯t for Keyon, it would be me who was attacked by the sulfuric acid. If so, would you still care, Mr. Ramsey?¡± Terrence suddenly stopped talking and looked at her with a gloomy face. Alexa didn¡¯t care about how he felt and sneered again. ¡°This is my fault. I shouldn¡¯t have said that.¡± ¡°Alexa, you don¡¯t have to talk to me like this.¡± ¡°Like what?¡± Alexa tried her best to conceal her anger. A cold smile showed on her pale little face as she continued, ¡°She is the true love in your life, Mr. Ramsey. How can I me her?¡± Hearing this, Terrence was rendered speechless by her words. Not long after, Edwin rushed over to report what he got. ¡°Tell me!¡± Terrence shouted coldly. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Ms. Walton bought a bottle of sulfuric acid from a private seller three days ago. She must have nned to attack Mrs. Ramsey and Mr. Duran today.¡± Alexa stared at the door of the operation room as if she hadn¡¯t heard what Edwin said. After quite a while, the nurse finally opened the door. Alexa immediately stood up and stopped the surgeon who walked out. She asked worriedly. ¡°Doctor, how is my brother?¡± ¡°He is fine, but he will need to rest for a while.¡± ¡°Okay, okay. Thank you, doctor!¡± Alexa stepped back in relief, tears already welling up in her eyes. She felt sore and pain in her eyes. Terrence subconsciously wanted to support her, but Alexa had already adjusted her emotions and followed Keyon into the ward. Kieran was also here. Terrence¡¯s heart was filled with jealousy again when he saw Alexa and Kieran talking. ¡°Alexa.¡± Terrence stood at the door and called Alexa¡¯s name. The atmosphere in the room instantly froze. Kieran and Alexa looked at Terrence at the same time. The expression on their faces was very indifferent as if they were looking at an unimportant stranger. ¡°What?¡± Alexa asked lightly. ¡°How is Keyon?¡± ¡°You should ask Brynlee about that, Mr. Ramsey. She should be clearer than me, right?¡± Alexa asked back with a smile. ¡°I need a word with you outside for a moment.¡± Alexa looked away and said, ¡°I have nothing to say to you. Please go out and don¡¯t disturb my brother¡¯s resting.¡± Terrence pursed his lips. No matter how unwilling he was, there was nothing he could do at this moment. ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you at home.¡± For the first time, Terrencepromised and said, ¡°We can talk about itter.¡± But Alexa ignored him and fixed her eyes on Keyon all the time. Not long after, Keyon woke up. ¡°Keyon¡­¡± Keyon helplessly sighed when he saw her eyes get red. ¡°Did you cry because of him again?¡± ¡°Keyon, it was Brynlee who caused you to be like this¡­¡± Before Alexa finished speaking, Keyon shook his head and gave her a meaningful look. ¡°Do you really think that Brynlee nned this alone, Alexa?¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°Why did Brynlee get to you just after Terrence appeared? She is the daughter of the Walton family. How dared shemit a crime in public?¡± Keyon asked her questions one after another. But Alexa lowered her head and did not say a word. She understood what Keyon meant. Finally, Keyon¡¯s facepletely darkened. ¡°Can¡¯t you see, Alexa? Who would have the motive to hurt you other than Terrence?¡± ¡°Keyon¡­ ¡°He pretended to be nice to you and tried to please you, and now you really forgive him for what he did to you before?¡± Just as Keyon finished speaking, he suddenly changed the topic. ¡°Brenton is still in the hospital, Alexa.¡± Every word that Keyon said pierced Alexa¡¯s heart exactly. Alexa felt a lump in her throat and difficulty breathing ¡°Alexa. Let¡¯s go ¡± Alexa closed her eyes, tears streamed down her cheeks. ¡°Kieran will look after you. When I settle down in France, I wille to pick you up ¡°Keyon¡­¡± Alexa¡¯s voice trailed off until even she herself could not hear it ¡°Is there¡­ Is there no other way?¡± ¡°Alexa, your condition can¡¯t be dyed any longer ¡°Keyon held her hand and said worriedly, ¡°Let¡¯s hold your wedding the day after tomorrow I will be able toe back to pick you up before next month.¡± Alexa lowered her head and cried for a while until she felt that her tears had already dried up. ¡°Okay¡­¡± Keyon finally settled the most important thing in his mind, and there was a light crossing his eyes when he thought of it. After Alexa left, Keyon called Kieran over ¡°Did you persuade her?¡± Kieran asked lightly. Keyon returned to his usual indifferent expression and faintly nodded. ¡°Take care of Alexa for me until the first day of next month. The engagement between our two families will be over on that day as well.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Kieran simply responded. The look on his face was hard to read. Keyon sneered, ¡°My father will fulfill the conditions I agreed with you. I should congratte you in advance, Mr. Powell. The Powell family will witness its glory days very soon.¡± But Kieran didn¡¯t look happy when he heard this. Instead, he silently left the ward. Yesterday, he was still trying to drink down all his sadness and worries, but the day after tomorrow. he was actually going to marry Alexa. Even though it was just a fake marriage, Kieran still felt unreal. How could he be worthy of Alexa? ? At this time, Alexa had left the hospital and went to a print shop. Terrence did not sign the previous divorce agreement. So she nned to give him another copy. This marriage that was like a farce was finally going to be over. However, what should she do about her unborn child¡­ Alexa prepared all the materials, absent-minded. Then, she took a taxi to the Hudson Group building. She came here at this time because she knew that Terrence was not in thepany now. Chapter 195 Chapter 195 Chapter 195 Who Asks You to Do It? All the employees of Hudson Group knew her identity at the same time, so the front deskdy did not stop Alexa. She did not fear those gazes and went all the way to Terrence¡¯s office without obstruction After putting all the documents on his desk, Alexa did not hesitate to turn around and leave Next, she was going to take another road. When Edwin called him, Terrence had made a table of food with his own hands, waiting for Alexa to come and ¡°get even with him¡±. But the next second, Terrence was shocked by what Edwin said. He said bluntly, ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Mrs. Ramsey has sent the Divorce Agreement to thepany ¡°What did you say? Where is she?¡± ¡°After Mrs. Ramsey left thepany, a car took her away. I don¡¯t know where she is.¡± ¡°Find her!¡± Terrence did not believe that there was anyone else who would dare to be the next Brenton! Arge group of people searched New York. Finally, they found that Alexa was actually in the apartment and had no intention of hiding. When Terrence broke through the door, he was obviously furious. But when he saw her sitting by the table and sincerely guarding a cake, Terrence instantly suppressed his anger. It was reced with a wave of doubts and shock. ¡°Alexa, what are you doing?¡± There were only the two of them in the living room, which was not big. But Terrence felt that Alexa was so far away from him. ¡°Celebrating my birthday,¡± Alexa said calmly. ¡°Birthday?¡± Terrence was stunned, and then he said seriously, ¡°Your birthday is April 15th, the day after tomorrow.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa nodded casually. ¡°I¡¯m celebrating my birthday in advance. I¡¯m going to be 24 years old.¡± ¡°Why do you want to celebrate your birthday in advance?¡± Terrence sat down beside Alexa and nced at the cake. Twenty-four candles were ced on the cream cake. The mes were like stars in the sky. Alexa seemed to be in endless loneliness amid the liveliness. ¡°Because I want to.¡± Alexa gave a simple answer. Then she put her palms together and silently made a wish. After that, Alexa blew out the 24 candles with great anticipation. ¡°What wish did you make?¡± Terrence asked curiously as he watched Alexa scrape a bit of cream with a fork. She did not like the sweetness of cream, but at that moment, she found that it was unusually bitter. Alexa pushed the cake away in boredom and looked at Terrence with her clear eyes. ¡°I hope that I can celebrate my birthday every year from now on.¡± Terrence frowned slightly. He said, ¡°What kind of wish is this? I¡¯ll light a candle for you. You should make another wish.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Alexa said with difficulty, ¡°I don¡¯t like celebrating birthdays.¡± ¡°The day after tomorrow, we will hold a banquet in Kanelo Manor. And you will invite your friends toe.¡± Terrence continued, ¡°My parents must have prepared gifts for you.¡± ¡°OK. Thank you.¡± ¡°So can you not talk about divorce during this period of time?¡± As Terrence said that, Alexa¡¯s eyes instantly became cold again. ¡°You came here just to talk about this matter?¡± Alexa raised her hair beside her temples. ¡°It¡¯s fine if you don¡¯t want to sign it. I can sue for a divorce.¡± ¡°Why are you in such a hurry to get a divorce?¡± Terrence got up. His face was grim. ¡°You can¡¯t wait to leave me. Right? How did Brenton charm you?¡± ¡°It has nothing to do with him.¡± ¡°Alexa, stop pretending. Why are you still lying to me?¡± Terrence¡¯s handsome eyebrows were full of gloom. He kicked the table in anger. Unexpectedly, he knocked over the cake. ¡°I¡¯ll get you a new one.¡± Terrence¡¯s face was cold. ¡°You can¡¯t be unhappy on your birthday ¡± ¡°No need.¡± Alexa refused softly, picked up the cake, and threw it into the trash can. ¡°Anyway, I made it myself. It¡¯s not worth anything.¡± Hearing that, Terrence instantly regretted it. He couldn¡¯t say anything and turned to leave with heavy steps. Not long after that, someone knocked on the door. Alexa opened the door expressionless. Standing in front of her was a team of staff from a high-end dessert shop. ¡°Hello, Mrs. Ramsey. This is a custom made cake that Mr. Ramsey ordered for you. Please sign for it.¡± After that, they smiled. The staff said together, ¡°Happy birthday to you, Mrs. Ramsey¡± There was no smile on Alexa¡¯s face. She even looked haggard. Alexa pursed her thin lips. She said weakly, ¡°Thank you. I don¡¯t need the cake. Please take it back.¡± ¡°But Mrs. Ramsey¡­¡¯ ¡°You can report it to him truthfully. It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Alexa smiled politely and closed the door without hesitation. Then, she put on a lc dress and went out to buy groceries. Terrence had been following her in a car. Alexa knew that, but she ignored it. Alexa went home to make a few specialty dishes. Then she went to the hospital with a meal box. Unexpectedly, just as Alexa arrived downstairs, Terrence stopped the car in front of her. As Terrence saw the lunch box in Alexa¡¯s hand, his cold eyes quickly shed a touch of jealousy. Terrence spoke in a deep voice, ¡°Get in the car.¡± But Alexa ignored him and walked away. Terrence immediately got out of the car and grabbed her wrist. Alexa frowned and struggled, but Terrence grabbed her tighter and tighter ¡°What are you doing?! Let go!¡± ¡°Sure, I will let go if you get in the car.¡± ¡°If you have something to say, just say it here¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t you take that cake?¡± ¡°Is it important?¡± Alexa replied nonchntly. Terrence¡¯s face darkened slightly. He said, ¡°I specially ordered it topensate you ¡°It¡¯s so funny.¡± Alexa sneered, ¡°Should I take it and reserve it carefully ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant ¡°Your intention is not within my scope of consideration I still have something to do Please let go of me.¡± Terrence looked at her cold expression and was worried that Alexa would get sick again In the end, he hesitantly let go. Alexa immediately walked away without looking back. Terrence stood at the side of the car and was silent for a long time. A strong sense of emptiness was crazily breeding in his heart. Terrence thought, what¡¯s wrong with Alexa? She wasn¡¯t like this before. Terrence could not figure it out. He could only drive away indignantly. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. Ten minutester, Terrence showed up at the police station. After a night of interrogation, Brynlee sat in the interrogation room in a trance. Her eyes were ck- ringed. Brynlee was in a daze,pletely different from the arrogant socialite she used to be. When Terrence came in, her withered little face immediately revealed a smile. ¡°Terrence, have youe to bail me out? I can go out soon. Right?¡± ¡°Who asked you to kill her?¡± Terrence went straight to the point, which immediately shattered Brynlee¡¯s expectations. ¡°Terrence, you¡­ Why don¡¯t you believe me?¡± ¡°The evidence is very solid.¡± Terrence said coldly, ¡°What else do you have to say?¡± ¡°But Alexa provoked me first!¡± Brynlee immediately raised her voice agitatedly. ¡°If she hadn¡¯t been pestering you all the time, I wouldn¡¯t have be like this!¡± ¡°Who asked you to do it?¡± Terrence looked into Brynlee¡¯s eyes and asked again with a straight face. Chapter 196 Chapter 196 Chapter 196 You Look Really Good in This Brynlee did not speak again but sobbed in fear ¡°Terrence, I saved you before¡­¡± When Terrence heard her mention this matter, his face instantly darkened. ¡°Is it really you?¡± Terrence whispered coldly, ¡°Gavyn didn¡¯t say it. But it doesn¡¯t mean that I don¡¯t know.¡± ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Brynlee choked on her words. She no longer dared to look at Terrence ¡°I have nothing to say.¡± Her tone changed, and she became silent abruptly Terrence¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly He left the interrogation room coldly Not long after that, Terrence received a call from Aron ¡°Terrence, are you free tonight? Can youe to my ce?¡± Aron asked carefully Terrence had nned to go to Alexa¡¯s home. But when he thought of Alexa¡¯s disgusted expression, he silently dismissed the idea. Aron¡¯s club was crowded every night. Terrence walked to the Emperor Private Room with a cold aura, which instantly froze the atmosphere. People fell into silence. Even Aron, who had always been a carefree person, restrained himself quite a bit today. ¡°Hi, Terrence.¡± Aron forced a smile and said, ¡°Please take a seat.¡± Terrence followed him over, and his cold eyes suddenly fell on the woman beside him. He wasn¡¯t interested in other women, but she looked a little familiar. Without waiting for Aron to speak, she gracefully curved her lips into a smile. ¡°Hello, Mr. Ramsey. I am Rita Bailey.¡± As she said that, Terrence¡¯s expression turnedpletely cold. He thought, So, she is Kieran¡¯s person. ¡°Terrence, Ms. Bailey has something to tell you. That¡¯s why I called you over.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Terrence responded indifferently. He scanned Rita¡¯s delicate face a few times with hiszy and deep eyes as if he could see through her. ¡°Say it.¡± Although Rita had seen many powerful people, she was still stunned by Terrence¡¯s aura. This man¡¯s arrogance and indifference made her feel a sense of crisis. A momentter, Rita calmly took out an invitation from her bag and ced it on the table. ¡°I¡¯m here to inform Mr. Ramsey that Mr. Powell is getting married.¡± ¡°What?¡± Aron shouted in shock, ¡°Why are you two so fast?¡± ¡°Mr. Lambert, you misunderstood.¡± Rita exined calmly, ¡°The bride isn¡¯t me.¡± In an instant, Aron¡¯s expression was as awkward as if he had eaten something disgusting. Rita was still smiling, but her gaze was distant. She even looked at Terrence with a hint of ridicule. ¡°Mr. Ramsey should want to know who the bride is.¡± ¡°Why should I know?¡± Terrence replied bluntly. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Rita opened the invitation patiently. She said word by word, ¡°Because she is your ex-wife.¡± Bang. Terrence was shocked and smashed the wine ss in his hand to the ground. The wine was mixed with the fragments of ss and sshed all over the ground. The atmosphere in the room instantly became gloomy and dark, as if the storm wasing. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, you didn¡¯t know, did you?¡± Rita asked gleefully, ¡°Didn¡¯t Ms. Duran tell you?¡± ¡°Ms. Bailey, who told you about this?¡± Aron asked in a serious tone, ¡°Why didn¡¯t we hear anything about it before?¡± ¡°Because this matter can¡¯t be exposed to the public.¡± Rita asked with a vicious smile, ¡°What do you think, Mr. Ramsey?¡± Terrence did not respond. He immediately stepped out of the room and mmed the door fiercely. Rita curled her lips. She knew that her n had worked. And anger in her heart surged. Rita thought, I¡¯m the daughter of a wealthy family, yet Kieran did not take me seriously. He suddenly decided to marry a cheap woman! He is humiliating the Bailey family! However, Terrence did not care about these things. He just wanted to find Alexa and ask her face to face! He rushed all the way to Alexa¡¯s apartment building and knocked hard for a long time, but no one opened the door. ¡°Alexa, open the door!¡± Ten minutes passed, but there was still no movement from inside. At this time, Edwin called. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Keyon is no longer in the hospital.¡± ¡°Where is Alexa?¡± ¡°There is no trace of Mrs. Ramsey ¡­ for the time being.¡± Terrence thought, I knew it! He punched the door angrily. Terrence immediately felt a sharp pain in the back of his hand, but he did not care about it at all. Alexa, she actually ran away with someone again! At the thought of the invitation that Rita mentioned, Terrence finally got a clue. The day after tomorrow, he would get Alexa¡¯s news. Terrence sent people to search for her. After a whole day, they finally found the location of Alexa. At that moment, Alexa was dressing up in the hotel. The styling designers that Kieran hired were carefully helping her dress up. Alexa was sitting in front of the dressing mirror, like a quiet wooden beauty. ¡°Mrs. Powell, this wedding dress suits your figure very well.¡± The assistant stood behind Alexa and praised her. Alexa looked down at the wedding dress. She was thin. Although she had been pregnant for more than four months, her belly hadn¡¯t bulged. The exquisitely designed wedding dress covered the curve of her waist. Alexa looked like an ordinary bride. However, her stunning appearance impressed everyone. Under the soft light, Alexa looked at herself carefully. This was the second time she was wearing a wedding dress, but she did not feel very happy. Alexa sat alone in therge room. She looked gentle and beautiful. Alexa looked down at the shining diamond ring on her hand, quietly waiting for Kieran. A few minutester, someone came to the door. Alexa suddenly became nervous. She uneasily clenched her fists. ¡°Mr. Powell¡­¡± ¡°Mr. Powell?¡± The man teased her, ¡°How intimate.¡± Hearing the familiar voice, Alexa immediately looked up in horror. When Alexa saw the person in the mirror, she turned around with a panicked expression. ¡°Terrence, why are you here?¡± ¡°You¡¯re very disappointed, aren¡¯t you?¡± Terrence had worn a ck suit that was expensive and appropriate. Even though he was walking under the soft light, Terrence¡¯s eyes still revealed a sense of viciousness. ¡°Don¡¯t make a scene here.¡± Alexa said nervously, ¡°Get out.¡¯ Terrence didn¡¯t listen to Alexa and got even closer to her. Seeing her wearing a pure white wedding dress, Terrence lost his mind. ¡°Who asked you to wear it?¡± He raised his hand and pressed it on Alexa¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Take it off.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t¡­¡± Alexa instantly became flustered and cried. Her body was so weak that she did not have the strength to dodge Terrence¡¯s touch. He was entranced. Terrence suddenly muttered, ¡°You look really good in this, but¡­¡± ¡°Terrence!¡± A voice with hidden anger came from the door. Kieran was in a white suit, but his face was gloomy. ¡°Why are you with my wife?¡± ¡°Your wife?¡± Terrence was so angry that heughed. ¡°Who is your wife?¡± ¡°There are numerous reporters outside. You don¡¯t want to be photographed, do you?¡± Terrence said, ¡°I am with my wife. What¡¯s wrong with that?¡± He did not back down and confronted Kieran. The hatred in his heart made him angrier. Chapter 197 Chapter 197 Chapter 197 It¡¯s Pine if You Can¡¯t Forget Him Kieran silently clenched his left hand that was hanging by his side. His right hand held a bouquet of white roses as he walked firmly toward Alexa. ¡°Alexa, we have to go now.¡± Kieran smiled and said, ¡°Everyone is waiting.¡± Alexa lightly bit her delicate red lips. Her clear eyes seemed to be filled with tears. ¡°Terrence, I¡¯m leaving.¡± She said gently, ¡°Please let go of me.¡± ¡°I¡¯m here to take you home. Where are you going?¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, today is the wedding day of me and Alexa. You¡¯ve be the past. Every word Kieran said hurt Terrence. He gritted his teeth and suddenly pulled Alexa into his arms. ¡°What wedding?¡± He sneered, ¡°It¡¯s just a joke.¡± ¡°Terrence, don¡¯t mess around.¡± Alexa¡¯s face sank. She struggled restlessly in his arms. Seeing this, Kieran immediately stepped forward to hold Alexa¡¯s hand and pulled her over. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. The warmth in his arms disappeared in an instant. Terrence¡¯s eyes quickly shed with a touch of loneliness, and then there was a chill. ¡°Are you sure you want to go with him?¡± Terrence asked in a deep voice. He was already a distance away from Alexa. They were like strangers. ¡°You are not on the invitation list. Mr. Ramsey, please leave.¡± Alexa said emotionlessly. Then she turned and left with Kieran. Terrence looked at her back. The smile on his face became more and more sinister. Terrence thought, Alexa, you¡¯d better be able to bear the consequences. Humph. Edwin thought that Terrence would be furious, but he just got into the car calmly. Terrence said lightly, ¡°Go back to thepany.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a burst of fireworks at the entrance of the hotel not far away. The Rolls-Royce fleet slowly started up and dazzlingly passed by the street. The luxury of the rich and powerful family was evident. However, Terrence leaned against the seat and closed his eyes to rest. He did not pay any attention to what was happening outside the window. Edwin was relieved, but he soon found that it wasn¡¯t that simple. Terrence stayed in the office for one day and one night. When he finally came out, he gave Edwin a detailed n to purchase the Duran Group. ¡°Mr. Ramsey¡­¡± Edwin hesitantly took it. The pressure was so great that he broke out in cold sweat. ¡°What¡¯s the problem?¡± Terrence lowered his eyes and asked. ¡°Nothing.¡± ¡°Then execute it immediately.¡± Although Terrence¡¯s tone was in, Edwin knew that he must be very angry now. Terrence didn¡¯t stay there for long. He left in secret. At this time, in a vi in the western suburbs. Alexa had worn a casual dress of Scottish style. She was nting flowers in the garden excitedly. A few young women followed behind her, chatting andughing. The atmosphere was very pleasant. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, you are really brilliant.¡± Susan praised with a smile, ¡°This garden became really beautiful after Mrs. Ramsey decorated it.¡± Alexa held her waist for support and got up to rest. Her little face became red because of the sweat. She looked good. ¡°It won¡¯t be long before the gardenias bloom.¡± A middle-aged woman hurriedly ran over from the corridor. ¡°Mrs. Powell, Mr. Powell called. He ising home for lunch.¡± ¡°OK.¡± Alexa responded lightly and walked to the living room. People were busy preparing lunch in the kitchen. Alexa sat in the living room and silently flipped through a book. After the wedding, she had been living here,pletely isting herself from the outside world. But Alexa had been counting the days. After all, her brother said that he would pick her up next month After a while, the phone rang again. The butler immediately answered it. A momentter, he looked at Alexa. ¡°Mrs. Powell, it¡¯s not Mr. Powell. Someone else wants to talk to you.¡± Terrence vaguely heard this sentence and his already angry expression instantly turnedpletely cold. He thought, someone else? In less than two days, he has be an outsider? He waited in annoyance for a moment. Then Alexa¡¯s voice sounded on the phone. ¡°Hello, who is this?¡± ¡°Alexa, it¡¯s me.¡± Terrence said coldly, ¡°Come to the door now. I want to see you.¡¯ Alexa¡¯s face immediately turned pale as soon as she heard his voice. But she was afraid that Terrence would do something crazier, so she had to agree. When Alexa tentatively walked to the door, he saw Terrence¡¯s silver Maybach parked outside the iron gate. Terrence stood by the car and fixed his eyes on her face. ¡°Alexa,e here.¡± Terrence ordered indifferently. He sounded a little unhappy. Even though they were separated by a sturdy iron gate, Alexa still subconsciously kept her distance from him. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°What have you and Kieran done?¡± Hearing this, Alexa was stunned for a moment. Then she sneered sarcastically. Terrence came all the way here to see her just to make a joke. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Kieran and I are husband and wife. What do you think we should do?¡± Alexa said that deliberately. Terrence was so angry that his expression suddenly changed. ¡°Alexa, you are¡­ shameless!¡± ¡°Shameless?¡± Alexa was amused and asked, ¡°Mr. Ramsey, have you forgotten that Kieran and I are now married?¡± ¡°Go home with me now. I can let bygones be bygones.¡± ¡°How?¡± Alexa said, ¡°I¡¯ve been with another man. Don¡¯t you mind it?¡± Hearing that, Terrence was shocked. The only trust he had for Alexa immediately vanished. ¡°Alexa, don¡¯t regret it.¡± ¡°I no longer have anything to regret in my life.¡± Alexazily raised her eyelids. ¡°I don¡¯t care about you.¡± ¡°Then y your role as Mrs. Powell well.¡± Terrence sneered and cursed her, ¡°You¡¯d better be able to be so arrogant forever.¡± Alexa ignored him and looked away. ¡°My husband ising back soon. Please leave now. I don¡¯t want him to misunderstand.¡± Alexa thought, Humph. We¡¯d better say all the harsh words today and finally turn against each other! From now on, whether she was alive or dead¡­ In Terrence¡¯s heart, she will always be Mrs. Powell. That was what she wanted. Alexa¡¯s heart kept throbbing. She staggered. Suddenly, someone reached out a powerful hand to hold her. ¡°I saw it all,¡± Kieran said gently. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Alexa instantly let down her guard. ¡°I¡­¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Kieran smiled gently, took a shawl from the servant, and put it on Alexa. From other angles, it looked like they were hugging each other affectionately. All the servants beside smiled at the same time. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if you can¡¯t forget him.¡± Hearing Kieran¡¯s words, Alexa felt even more ashamed. ¡°After all, I am only your husband in name. I hope you can be happy.¡± Kieran looked at her gently. Alexa could not help but avoid his steady eyes. ¡°Lunch is ready ¡°Alexa said softly, ¡°Let¡¯s get in there.¡± Alexa¡¯s gentleness made her look like a good wife. Chapter 198 Chapter 198 Chapter 198 You¡¯re the Light of My Life With a brighter smile, Kieran held Alexa¡¯s shoulder and went to the living room with her. The servants brought all the dishes to the table. Alexa only ate a little, looking a little uneasy. Kieran soon put down her fork and ordered the servants. ¡°All of you go out.¡± Soon, only the two of them were left in the living room. Kieran looked at her intently and gently. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Can you tell me?¡±.. ¡°It¡¯s fine. It¡¯s just that the gardenia in the backyard is about to bloom,¡± Alexa said as she continued to eat the food on the te. ¡°Is that so? That¡¯s good. ¡°In summer, the air will be heavy with the scent of flowers,¡± Kieran said, full of interest. Kieran would respond to every word she said. It was precisely because of this that Alexa felt more and more guilty. But in Kieran¡¯s mind, Alexa could not hide anything from him. ¡°There is no need to worry about Terrence,¡± he said firmly. ¡°With me here, nothing will happen to you.¡± ¡°I just live on with a weak body, but Mr. Powell¡­ Ugh¡­¡± Alexa hid to the side and coughed violently a few times. Kieran immediately took out the medicine. ¡°After trying so much medicine, you still haven¡¯t recovered. I think it¡¯s better to do chemotherapy as soon as possible.¡± Alexa weakly held his arm and gasped for a long time. ¡°I¡¯m waiting¡­ for my brother,¡± said Alexa in a weak tone. Kieran sighed helplessly and finally helped her back to her room. Alexa quickly fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow. Kieran saw that she was very tired and did not bother her anymore. Instead, he called Alexa¡¯s servant Susan. ¡°Mrs. Powell seems to be unhappy these days,¡± Susan reported truthfully. ¡°She always draws in the afternoon, but she will be lost in thought for a long time.¡± ¡°Unhappy¡­¡± Kieran pondered for a moment and walked away with a frown. Meanwhile, the VIP ward in the hospital was a mess. Brenton was pinned to the bed by several doctors in a disheveled state. He was shouting hysterically. ¡°Let me go! I want to find her!¡± ¡°Brenton¡­¡± Tania cried with tears all over her face. She really couldn¡¯t do anything to him. ¡°Brenton, calm down.¡± ¡°You are all lying to me, right? You are all lying to me!¡± ¡°Mr. Darrell, you need a good rest¡­¡± ¡°Let me go!¡± Brenton had never been so angry! He had been in aa in the hospital for several days. The first thing he heard after waking up was that Alexa and Kieran were married! This is not her intention, thought Brenton. ¡°I¡¯m going to save her.¡± ¡°Brenton, don¡¯t you understand? She doesn¡¯t love you at all,¡± Tania persuaded earnestly. ¡°No¡­ It¡¯s not like that¡­¡± Brenton was stunned for a moment while a delicate figure pushed the door open and entered. Tania immediately pulled the person into her arms with a smile on her face. ¡°Brenton, this is Athena.¡± Athena stood shyly in front of Brenton. ¡°Hello, Brenton,¡± said Athena delicately. Brenton narrowed his eyes and stared at her for a while. Athena deliberately put on delicate makeup as a copy of Alexa. She didn¡¯t believe that Brenton would be so disgusted with her! However, Brenton¡¯s face suddenly turned cold and gloomy. He pushed away the vase on the cab. The vase smashed in front of her, and Athena could no longer pretend to be shy and graceful, screaming and avoiding it. Brenton sat up and growled in a hoarse voice. ¡°Get out!¡± ¡°Tania¡­¡± Tania red at her and smiled cautiously. ¡°Brenton, I¡¯m doing this for your good. You should get to know Athena.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Brenton red at her fiercely. ¡°Get out!¡± Seeing that he was really angry, Tania didn¡¯t dare to say anything more, so she had to leave ignominiously with Athena. The ward soon quieted down. Brenton grabbed his cor and panted heavily, and his body was covered inyers of cold sweat. However, he struggled to get off the bed and go out. He watched the video of the wedding day again and again. But Brenton still could not believe that Alexa would agree to the marriage What a ridiculous thing! If it were Terrence, then he would ept it. But why did it have to be Kieran? Brenton thought about Alexa over and over again. As soon as he reached the entrance of the hospital, his eyes darkened, and he fell heavily Alexa did not know what happened in the hospital. When she woke up from bed, it was already dusk. Alexa kept coughing, and blood suddenly stained her palm. Her face instantly turned pale, and she didn¡¯t even dare to face reality. The death was sad, but what was sadder was that she was powerless to do anything. Alexa went to the bathroom to clean up the blood on her hands before she dared to go to the living room She hadn¡¯t expected Kieran to be here as well. She suddenly wanted to return ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡± Kieran stopped her and then Alexa walked forward weakly. ¡°What are you doing?¡± she asked curiously. Kieran smiled gently and continued to work. ¡°I¡¯m arranging the design drafts of our designer.¡± Alexa recognized at a nce that it was drawn by herself and was instantly embarrassed. ¡°I drew it casually.¡± She shook her head. ¡°It can¡¯t be considered a designer.¡± ¡°ra has already seen these paintings,¡± said Kieran proudly. ¡°Even the most outstanding designer in the Powell Group¡¯s Design Department isn¡¯t as good as you.¡± It had been a long time since she had been praised like this. Alexa grinned at him. ¡°The restaurant you like hasunched a new dish. Let¡¯s go out and eat tonight,¡± Kieran said gently. ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa readily agreed in a good mood. In the past, when she stayed with Terrence, she had always been on guard against all kinds of people and things, and Terrence had never stood in her court. Thinking of this, Alexa smiled silently. Kieran chose a dress for her and even prepared jewelry for her. He was so thoughtful. ¡°Mr. Powell, you don¡¯t have to treat me so well. I don¡¯t want to trouble you so much,¡± Alexa whispered. However, Kieran did not think so. He stood in front of the mirror and gently put his hands on her shoulders. ¡°What do you mean by trouble? Silly girl, you are my wife. I need to try my best to protect and love Content held by N?velDrama.Org. you.¡± The atmosphere in the room became a little subtle. Alexa could not take his words, so she had to rub her ear ornaments. Kieran noticed her embarrassment and took the initiative to stand to the side. ¡°I contacted Keyon. He should be here soon,¡± said Kieran. At the mention of her brother, Alexa felt delighted. ¡°Mr. Powell, thank you very much.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to thank me. It¡¯s me who wants to thank you. You¡¯re the light of my life,¡± Kieran said. Chapter 199 Chapter 199 Chapter 199 Why Do You Hurt Me? ¡°You don¡¯t have to thank me,¡± Alexa smiled knowingly, ¡°I am just a speck of dust in the big world.¡± Hearing this, Kieran did not dare to continue, so he immediately changed the topic. ¡°There will be a fashion show in France in two weeks. I¡¯ll go with you to watch it.¡± ¡°Thank you for your care.¡± Alexa responded with a smile. After dressing up, she naturally held Kieran¡¯s arm. Looking at the spot on his arm where they touched, Kieran felt for an instant that everything in his life had been worth it. When they sat at the restaurant, Kieran ordered a few of Alexa¡¯s favorite dishes, as well as a bottle of red wine. The atmosphere in the restaurant tonight was cozy and romantic. The candlelight on the table was faintly flickering, quietly enveloping Kieran and Alexa. Alexa hadn¡¯t had an appetite, but under the supervision of Kieran, she ate more than ever. ¡°Eat more.¡± Kieran kept serving her dishes. ¡°They taste better than before, I think.¡± ¡°Thank you¡­¡± Alexa had not finished speaking when she suddenly met the sharp eyes. Alexa raised her head in panic and looked at Kieran¡¯s side, with her eyes a little dull. Terrence, dressed in a set of silver-gray personal-customized suits, slowly walked over while fixing his cold and fierce eyes on Alexa. To Alexa¡¯s surprise, the woman next to him was Brynlee. Alexa wondered, what the hell is Terrence trying to do? Alexa frowned slightly and looked away in disgust. Terrence happened to capture Alexa¡¯s expression changes, and a cold smile appeared on his face. When Brynlee noticed Alexa, she immediately cast a nce at Alexa with disdain. And Alexa paid no more attention to them. She continued to chat with Kieran. Terrence¡¯s face turned cold suddenly. He went to a table on the other side with Brynlee with a malicious aura. Kieran pretended not to see Terrence and stared at Alexa as calmly as usual. ¡°What¡¯s the matter, Alexa?¡± Kieran asked with concern. ¡°Are the dishes not to your Alexa was in no mood. She found an excuse to go to the restroom. taste?¡± When Alexa passed by the corner, she was suddenly grabbed by a strong hand and pulled to the backyard. Alexa subconsciously protected her belly, but Terrence directly pressed her against the wall and red at her hysterically. ¡°Terrence, what are you doing? Let go!¡± Alexa struggled hard, but Terrence did not let go of her. Instead, he even moved a step closer. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Alexa, what are you doing?¡± ¡°Are you questioning me?¡± Alexa fearlessly met his gaze. Her clear eyes were full of anger. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you give me an exnation?¡± Terrence became even more furious. ¡°Why are you with Kieran? And you are doing such a thing in public!¡± Alexa narrowed her eyes and looked deeply at Terrence for a moment. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, are you mistaken?¡± She asked with a smile. ¡°Kieran is my husband.¡± ¡°Kieran? Huh, you call him so intimately.¡± ¡°Terrence, there is nothing to say between us. Let go!¡± Alexa growled. In contrast, Terrence sneered and directly carried Alexa up in his arms. ¡°Ah¡­¡± Alexa cried out in fear, ¡°put me down. Or I will call for help.¡± ¡°Go ahead!¡± Terrence smiled fearlessly and said, ¡°call for help now.¡± Alexa choked on her words, and her eyes instantly turned red. ¡°Let go¡­¡± She choked with sobs in vain. Terrenceughed even more mockingly instead. ¡°Alexa, stop acting,¡± He mocked in a faint voice, ¡°if you can¡¯t win, just cry, right?¡± Alexa was so ashamed that her tears continuously streamed down like a broken string of beads. Some strange emotions welled up in Terrence¡¯s heart, but he did not reveal them on his face. Alexa beat Terrence on his chest crazily. However, Terrence stuffed her into the car in public. The atmosphere in the car instantly became dull. Alexa curled in the corner and whimpered Her body was trembling slightly. Terrence sat quietly next to her for a long time and finally handed a handkerchief to Alexa without a word. Alexapletely ignored him, not even casting a nce at him. Terrence did not care at all. He retracted his hand and turned to the driver. ¡°Go to Seafair Vi.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t go there,¡± Alexa refused coldly. ¡°Terrence, hurry up and let me go Otherwise, my husband¡¯s family will give you trouble!¡± ¡°Your husband¡¯s family?¡± Terrence approached dangerously and grabbed her jaw. ¡°Mom and Dad have been abroad. They won¡¯t give me any trouble ¡± ¡°Go away.¡± Alexa pushed his hand away with a frown and hid closer by the car door. Terrencezily straightened his sleeves. He looked like a lion eyeing its prey, deep and cold. ¡°Where do you think you can hide?¡± Alexa lowered her head and did not answer. ¡°The thing in your belly has not been aborted, right?¡± Terrence seemed to be talking about something that did not matter, and his attitude appeared to be calm. Alexa took a deep breath. She felt like dying the next second. ¡°What does it have to do with you?¡± ¡°Alexa, I am your husband.¡± Terrence frowned tightly, and his face was terribly gloomy. ¡°I have been tolerant enough to let you mess around for so long.¡± ¡°Haha¡­¡± Alexaughed in disdain, her eyes shing with tears. ¡°Kieran is my husband, and you have nothing to do with me!¡± ¡°Say it again!¡± Terrence shouted angrily and instantly seized her by the throat. Alexa was not surprised at all that Terrence would have such a movement. Alexa wished that Terrence would be a little more ruthless to her so that she couldpletely dispel those ridiculous ideas. The next moment, Terrence pressed the button and the partition in front of him slowly rose, separating the space between the front and back of the car. Terrence loosened his cor with a gloomy face and then ruthlessly clutched Alexa into his arms. ¡°Alexa, you¡¯d better keep in mind who your husband is!¡± Alexa could do nothing but close her eyes, silently enduring what wasing to her Shortly after, the driver pulled over in the garage and then left in a hurry. An hourter, Terrence and Alexa, who stayed in the car, showed up one after another Terrence dressed neatly and walked toward the outside, asionally turning back to urge Alexa, who was left about 6 feet behind. Alexa¡¯s clothes were in a mess. Tear stains remained on her face. Her tears had dried up, and her red and swollen eyes hurt when she met the wind. Terrence walked back guiltily. He was about to carry Alexa up, but Alexa dodged in panic. ¡°I told you not to get close to me!¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes were deep, and his face was gloomy. ¡°Whatever you say.¡± As Alexa wished, Terrence walked away without looking back. Alexa tried her best to hold back her tears and shouted at Terrence hysterically. ¡°You already have Brynlee, but why do you hurt me?¡± Terrence¡¯s figure not far away was visibly paused, but soon, he quickly continued to walk away. Alexa moved a few steps with difficulty, and she had to squat down and breathe for a long time because of the pain all over her body. After a while, a group of maids came over in an orderly manner. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, are you alright?¡± The maids hurriedly helped her up, and the scene instantly was in chaos. Alexa gritted her teeth and stubbornly retorted. ¡°I am not Mrs. Ramsey. Let me go!¡± Chapter 200 Chapter 200 Chapter 200 Everything Is Late But those people didn¡¯t listen to her, and all of them forced her to walk to the living room. Terrence changed into a casual outfit and was leisurely leaning on the sofa, staring at her. Alexa stood at the door with a displeased look, and the servants behind her immediately avoided her. ¡°Come here.¡± Terrence crooked his finger at her and nced at her frivolously. ¡°I want to go back.¡± ¡°Come here, I don¡¯t want to say it again.¡± Alexa bit her lips as if she was going to cry the next second. Terrence¡¯s face turned cold and he was a little impatient. ¡°I asked you toe over. What? Do you still want to go out?¡± ¡°Terrence¡­¡± He did not say much to Alexa anymore and directly got up to pull her over. Alexa lost her bnce and fell into Terrence¡¯s arms. Her face instantly turned pale with fright. ¡°Am I that terrifying?¡± Terrence whispered unhappily, ¡°Don¡¯t cry!¡± Alexa bit her lips tightly, her heart beating faster and faster. A momentter, Terrence directly picked her up and carried her to the bathroom. ¡°What are you doing? Put me down!¡± ¡°Take you to bathe. You are dirty,¡± Terrence said. The words that Terrence said with a deep meaning, and Alexa blushed. ¡°It¡¯s none of your business.¡± Hearing this, Terrence was angry. He said in a suffocating tone, ¡°Alexa, you better know what this ce is.¡± Alexa was forced to keep quiet and red at him angrily. No matter how much you mess around, no one wille.¡± ¡°You only know how to y these tricks, right?¡± Alexa gritted her teeth in hatred. ¡°Terrence, you can¡¯t lock me.¡± Terrence sneered, ¡°Really? Then let¡¯s try.¡± ¡°I will never forgive you! You bastard!¡± Terrence did not even lift his eyelids. He kicked open the bathroom door and put Alexa in the bathtub directly. The hot water immediately covered her neck. Alexa was like a frightened deer, immediately curling herself up and lying beside the bathtub in fear. Her skirt was already soaked, and a little movement was enough to expose her body. Terrence stood coldly in front of her and quietly looked away. ¡°Take that shower immediately.¡± ¡°Get out!¡± Alexa grunted in anger. This was the first time that Terrence followed her wishes and silently walked away. She was the only one left in therge bathroom. Alexa was alone in the bathtub, allowing the soaked clothes to stick to her body. The hot water was very warm, but Alexa¡¯s body was gradually turning cold. ¡°s¡­¡± She sighed lightly, and her red eyes were dazzling. In just a few minutes, the bathroom door was knocked repeatedly. ¡°Alexa, have you not finished the shower yet?¡± Alexa frowned slightly and replied unhappily. ¡°No, don¡¯te in.¡± However, Terrence didn¡¯t listen to her. After Alexa finished speaking, he directly broke in. To him, the door lock was just a decoration. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Alexa eximed in a low voice and hid in a corner in fright, ¡°Who let you in?¡± ¡°I came in to see you.¡± Terrence said calmly, ¡°Why are you so slow?¡± ¡°I only have taken a shower for a few minutes.¡± ¡°No, you have already bathed for a long time.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to talk to you so much.¡± Alexained in disgust and suddenly stopped the topic. Terrence took a bath towel and handed it to her. J He said casually, ¡°Come out.¡± Alexa moved a little under Terrence¡¯s gaze with a face full of displeasure. Seeing her dilemma, Terrence took the initiative to go out. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Alexa quickly tidied herself up. After covering her entire body with the nightgown, she finally dawdled out. Terrence leisurely leaned on the bed, his calm gaze boldly sizing her up. ¡°Are you guarding against thieves?¡± ¡°To guard against you,¡± Alexa replied. ¡°Come here.¡± After Terrence finished speaking, he took the initiative to hold her hand and walked to the dressing table. Then, he naturally picked up the hairdryer. ¡°What do you want to do?¡± Alexa subconsciously dodged. Terrence sighed helplessly and pressed her down on the chair. ¡°Help you dry your hair.¡± Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°I¡¯ll do it myself.¡± ¡°Let me do it.¡± Terrence¡¯s tone could not be resisted, and then he gently stroked her wet hair, drying it seriously. However, his movements seemed a little rusty, and there was even a hint of tentative that he tried to hide. ¡°How about I do it myself?¡± ¡°I can do it.¡± Terrence insisted and then changed the topic, ¡°Did you feel pain when I dry your hair?¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt.¡± Alexa looked at Terrence¡¯s expression through the mirror, puzzled. She thought, Terrence, no matter what he said, always had a cold appearance But Alexa was now only left with endless bitterness and disappointment in her heart towards Terrence. Everything was toote. Whether it was to start over again or to love him again, everything was just an illusion. Alexa was in a daze when someone suddenly knocked on the door Alexa said loudly, ¡°Come in.¡± Terrencepletely ignored the person who came and focused his attention on Alexa ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, Mr. Powell ising to you.¡± In an instant, the room fell into silence. Terrence threw the hairdryer aside without a word and sat down by the bed, staring straight at Alexa. The maid at the door lowered her head, not daring to say another word. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you talking?¡± Terrence asked with a smile. Alexa looked in the mirror and tidied her hair, and then asked the maid. ¡°Where is he?¡± ¡°At ¡­ the gate¡­¡± ¡°Bang¡­¡± Terrence directly waved away the hairdryer not far away, and the oppressive atmosphere immediately froze. Alexa¡¯s thin shoulders trembled slightly, but she continued saying. ¡°I¡¯ll go down immediately. Terrence did not listen to her anymore, directly got up, and left the room. Alexa nced at him and went to the gate. Sure enough, Kieran was waiting for her in front of the gate. When he saw her, he could not wait to take a few steps forward. ¡°Alexa, are you okay? I¡¯ll take you back immediately,¡± Kieran said anxiously. When Alexa saw him, she immediately broke down. ¡°I¡¯m fine¡­¡± Alexa looked at Kieran with tears in her eyes. ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°I know you were taken away by Terrence. Alexa, I¡¯m here to pick you up.¡± ¡°He is still here now. Don¡¯t worry about me. You should leave quickly.¡± Alexa raised her hand to wipe her tears. ¡°No¡­¡± Alexa knew Terrence¡¯s temper very well. The way he looked just now was very angry. Alexa thought, what if he does something to Kieran¡­ ¡°You should leave quickly,¡± Alexa urged. ¡°I will think of a way to leave.¡± ¡°Alexa¡­¡± ¡°Why are you chatting at my door?¡± Hearing Terrence¡¯s voice, Alexa immediately turned around in panic. She found that he was standing on the tform on the second floor looking down at them. ¡°Terrence, hurry up and let go of Alexa. Otherwise¡­¡± Hearing this, Terrence sneered. He said to Kieran, ¡°What can you do?¡± Chapter 201 Chapter 201 Chapter 201 Stop Thinking About Him Kieran was so furious that he mmed his palm on the iron bar. Terrence did so many things just to humiliate him to his face! Now, the Powell Group was in a financial crisis and had been suppressed by Hudson Group without any chance to turn the tables. ¡°Kieran, just go,¡± Alexa said again. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me.¡± ¡°Alexa, you are now my wife¡­¡± Terrence watched as they whispered in each other¡¯s ears, the anger in his heart rising. ¡°Alexa, don¡¯t you understand my words? I asked you toe back,¡± he said coldly. Alexapletely ignored Terrence and continued to say to Kieran. ¡°My brother will be back soon, and I will be fine ¡± Kieran looked at the ring on her hand and still narrowed his eyebrows. ¡°Alexa, I¡¯ll go check on thepany and thene back to save you.¡¯ Hearing this, Alexa immediately guessed what Terrence had done to Kieran. ¡°Terrence!¡± ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°I cane back to you, but you can¡¯t do anything to the Powell Group again.¡± ¡°Businesspetition is just like this. It is them who are too useless.¡± Seeing Alexa face full of hostility, Terrence secretly nced at Kieran with a warning look and said unhappily. ¡°OK.¡± Kieran breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Alexa again. ¡°Alexa, remember to take the medicine. I will definitelye and pick you up in a few days.¡± ¡°OK.¡± Alexa responded with relief, turned around, and left without looking back. After watching her enter the room, Kieran silently left. But upstairs, Terrence was not calm. He chased all the way down and saw Alexa go to the room coldly ¡°Alexa, stop!¡± Terrence shouted gloomily. ¡°Did I ask you to go back?¡± ¡°Do you have anything else to say?¡± ¡°What medicine did Kieran ask you to take? I heard it clearly just now Don¡¯t try to quibble,¡± he questioned. Alexa sighed helplessly, wanting to ignore him. ¡°What does it have to do with you?¡± ¡°How does it have nothing to do with me? It¡¯s in your bag, right? Show it to me immediately¡± ¡°Terrence, can you stop pestering me? I¡¯m really tired¡± ¡°You chatted so well with him,¡± Terrence sneered. ¡°I just said a few words, and you think that I¡¯m pestering you?¡± ¡°You can think whatever you want,¡± Alexa said impatiently. ¡°I want to rest.¡± After that, Alexa felt a sharp pain in her heart. She did not dare to waste any more time and quickly returned to her room. The moment she took out the bottle with trembling hands, Terrence suddenly pushed open the door and entered. ¡°Give it to me,¡± he ordered again. ¡°No¡­¡± Alexa frowned and her breathing became rapid. Terrence quickly approached, staring at the medicine in her hand with his deep eyes. ¡°Show me.¡± ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Alexa gasped for breath. ¡°This is the medicine to protect the baby. Why do you wanna see¡­¡± When she finished speaking, Terrence¡¯s movements instantly stopped. ¡°It has nothing to do with you, so you don¡¯t need to be so curious,¡± Alexa added coldly. ¡°Okay.¡± Terrence¡¯s face turned purple with rage, and he walked away. The door was closed again, and Alexa leaned weakly against the wall, sitting on the ground with exhaustion. Does Terrence know something? But so what? Alexa raised her hand to cover her face in grief, sobbing till midnight. Many things had been deprived of, and she had never taken them back. Early the next morning, the maid came to greet Alexa as usual. However, no matter how much she knocked on the door, the person in the room never responded ¡°Mr. Ramsey, there is no sound in Mrs. Ramsey¡¯s room!¡± Terrence immediately stopped working and found the spare key to open Alexa¡¯s room. However, the room behind the door was very quiet. A thin figurey quietly on the bed, breathing steadily. Terrence stood by the bed and looked at her quietly for a while. His eyes were very gentle. Alexa was not aggressive at all at this time. It was quite rare. Terrence quietly sat down beside her bed and took theptop to deal with thepany¡¯s affairs. Not long after, Alexa slowly woke up. Sensing someone beside her, she almost instinctively avoided him. After seeing Terrence¡¯s face clearly, Alexa kept her distance from him. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± ¡°This house is mine. Do I need to ask you for instructions to go wherever I want?¡± Alexa was rendered speechless and went to the bathroom. Terrence quickly caught up and grabbed her shoulder, asking seriously. ¡°What happened to your eyes? They are so red.¡± Content held by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Nothing. Allergy.¡± Alexa coldly pushed his hand away. ¡°What are you allergic to? Let¡¯s go to the hospital now.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Alexa helplessly took out her hand and quickly retreated a little. ¡°Can you not care about me? It¡¯s really annoying. Terrence silently retracted his hand and did not say anything else to her. Alexa entered the bathroom to wash up. Aftering out, Terrence was still standing at the door She pursed her thin lips and ignored him. Alexa returned to the room and Terrence spoke again. ¡°Let¡¯s go downstairs to eat. Alexay with her back to him and said gloomily. ¡°I have no appetite. I don¡¯t want to eat anything.¡± ¡°Even if you don¡¯t want to eat, you have to eat.¡± Alexa fiercely pulled the quilt and silently expressed her dissatisfaction to him. Terrence understood and went out. Just when Alexa thought that this matter was over, Terrence personally pushed the dining cart in, and there was even a delicate strawberry cake inside. ¡°Have breakfast first, and then I¡¯ll give you a birthday party, okay?¡± Terrence was quite capricious, and Alexa didn¡¯t dare to believe him. ¡°My birthday has already passed,¡± Alexa murmured word by word. ¡°I don¡¯t wanna have a birthday party now.¡± ¡°Alright, then we¡¯ll do it properly next time.¡± Alexa¡¯s eyshes fluttered, and she didn¡¯t show any emotional changes. ¡°I have already canceled the acquisition n. You don¡¯t have to worry anymore.¡± ¡°OK.¡± Only when it came to Kieran, Alexa would say something, which made him very dissatisfied. However, Terrence only narrowed his eyes and did not say anything. He peeled an egg for Alexa, but Alexa did not take it. Instead, she picked up the milk and took a sip. ¡°Whether you let go or not, he will deal with this matter well.¡± Hearing her mention Kieran again, Terrence immediately put his hand back with a sullen face. However, there was no pride in Alexa¡¯s eyes. Her gaze was still calm as if she was just narrating a fact. However, Terrence was very unhappy. ¡°What¡¯s the point of mentioning him? Do you still think that he wille to pick you up?¡± ¡°Terrence, the more you value something, the more totally it might be destroyed.¡± ¡°All right.¡± Terrence ended the topic with a displeased face. ¡°You eat it yourself. I¡¯m leaving.¡± Alexa lightly pursed her lips. After Terrence left, she forced herself to eat something. But soon, Alexa covered her mouth and ran into the bathroom, vomiting. She was dizzy. Chapter 202 Chapter 202 Chapter 202 Shame on You Alexa¡¯s attitude made it difficult for Terrence to calm down. He lingered at the door for a long time and more than once wanted to push the door open to take a look, but when he thought of Alexa¡¯s reaction, Terrence immediately dismissed the idea. However, not long after, the door opened. Alexa¡¯s figure appeared in front of him, and Terrence immediately walked to her. Seeing that she was dressed up beautifully, Terrence asked with a deep gaze. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Where are you going?¡± ¡°The hospital.¡± He nced coldly at Alexa¡¯s slightly protruding belly and instantly understood what she meant. ¡°I¡¯ll send you there.¡± Alexa did not refuse and followed behind him. After a while, Terrence took her hand. ¡°Why is your hand so cold? Is it very cold?¡± Terrence asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t sleep well at night?¡± ¡°Pretty good.¡± Alexa was indifferent and did not seem to want tomunicate with him. Terrence did not mind and even held her hand tighter. After getting into the car, Alexa looked at her phone and had no intention of talking to him. Seeing her so serious, Terrence felt a little jealous. Alexa used to pay all her attention to him. ¡°You have a phone?¡± Alexa silently raised her head and nced at him. She seemed to be very curious as to why he would ask such a stupid question. ¡°I called you. Why didn¡¯t you answer?¡± She was slightly startled for a moment, then lowered her head, and said nonchntly. ¡°I deleted your number. It might have been cklisted.¡± Terrence choked on her words and stared straight at her for a long time. ¡°Get it back.¡± ¡°No need. My husband will misunderstand me,¡± Alexa said awkwardly. ¡°Husband? Heh.¡± Terrence sneered and snatched her phone away. When his gaze stopped on her phone screen, Terrence was in a rage. She had just been chatting with Kieran. He had sent ¡°good morning¡±, and clearly it was not enough for him. He had actually chatted with her for so long! ¡°What¡¯s there to talk about?¡± Terrence growled with a displeased face and quickly cklisted Kieran. Alexa watched him input the number into her mobile phone, and her heart throbbed fiercely. However, Terrence did not say much. After a short while, he returned the phone to her. ¡°Don¡¯t look at your phone so often,¡± he said in a deep voice, ¡°It¡¯s not good for your eyes.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Terrence leaned quietly toward her. The elegant fragrance of the lily lingered on her breath, making him slowly calm down. Alexa noticed Terrence¡¯s movements but did not avoid him. The more dangerous it was, the more she became obsessed with it. It felt great to just sit quietly like this. Terrence looked at her fair and slender hands and had all kinds of ideas. But before he could do anything, the driver stopped the car at the entrance of the hospital. Alexa immediately got out of the car, leaving a wisp of lingering fragrance. Terrence paused for a moment with interest, then got out of the car, and stood next to Alexa. But before he could take a few steps, a beautiful figure came up to them. ¡°Alexa.¡± Hearing this, Terrence¡¯s face instantly darkenedpletely. ¡°ra.¡± Alexa responded with a smile. ra immediately grabbed her arm and kept her distance from Terrence. ¡°My brother still has surgery to do, so let me take care of you.¡± ¡°ra, there¡¯s no need to trouble you. I can do it myself. ¡°Alexa, this isn¡¯t troublesome at all!¡± ra chuckled softly and deliberately nced at Terrence. ¡°He can¡¯t help but worry about you. In his heart, you are a treasure. He¡¯s afraid that anything will happen to you.¡¯ She deliberately said it for Terrence to hear, and his face indeed became very gloomy. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, thank you for sending my sister inw to the hospital.¡± ¡°You have recognized the wrong person,¡± Terrence said in a threatening tone. He held Alexa¡¯s waist and took her into his arms. ¡°She is my wife. It has nothing to do with you.¡± ra was not afraid of him at all, and she even unhurriedly said. ¡°I canpletely understand Mr. Ramsey¡¯s mood. After all, my sister inw is so good, and there are so many people who love her.¡± ¡°The Powell family is also qualified to say such words?¡± Terrence¡¯s words became sharper, and Alexa lightly frowned and broke free from his arms. ¡°I can solve it myself. You don¡¯t have to follow me.¡± ¡°Alexa, are you really going to go with her?¡± In the face of Terrence¡¯s question, Alexa was already numb in her heart. ¡°Stop messing around.¡± She slightly increased her tone. ra¡¯s eyes were filled with joy as she proudly nced at Terrence. ¡°Alexa, let¡¯s go.¡± She intimately took Alexa¡¯s arm and left, appearing particrly proud in front of Terrence. She thought, you stupid man didn¡¯t cherish Alexa. What¡¯s the use of regretting now? After entering the hospital with Alexa, ra directly took Alexa to the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics. But in the office, it was another doctor, not Kieran. ¡°Mrs. Powell, hello. My name is Mason Strd.¡± ¡°Alexa, this is the doctor who will take care of you today.¡± ¡°Mrs. Powell, Dr. Powell has changed some new medicine for you. Please give it a try. ¡°Alright.¡± Alexa agreed obediently, but the door was pushed open at this moment. ¡°Who is it? You can¡¯te in now.¡± Mason reminded him with a bit of anger. ra turned around and said in a t tone. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, you¡¯re still here?¡± Alexa¡¯s expression changed a bit with a hint of guilt. Terrence nced at Mason without a word, and his eyes were cold. ¡°A male doctor?¡± ¡°Yes, a male doctor.¡± Alexa nodded. Terrence could no longer tolerate it and directly asked. ¡°You¡¯re such a slut, huh?¡± Alexa was so shocked by his words that she almost couldn¡¯t breathe. Her face was pale, and she didn¡¯t speak. ¡°You¡¯re dirty, so everything you see is dirty,¡± ra sarcastically said. But in Terrence¡¯s eyes, she was just a clown. ¡°Everything in the Powell family is dirty.¡± ra was afraid that Terrence might get the goods on her, so she immediately fell silent. His deep gaze coldly swept over everyone present. He had never been so angry. ¡°Come back with me.¡± ¡°Terrence, don¡¯t do anything to the Powell family¡­¡± When Alexa finished speaking, Terrence became more furious. ¡°You should worry about yourself first.¡± Terrence sneered coldly and immediately pulled her away. After leaving the doctor¡¯s office, Terrence immediately shouted. ¡°Alexa, shame on you!¡± A faint smile appeared on Alexa¡¯s face as she deliberately asked him. ¡°Why?¡± ¡°Do you want me to tell you?¡± Terrence¡¯s tone became more and more dangerous. ¡°I think you don¡¯t know your position at all.¡± ¡°Terrence, I don¡¯t have any position. I will go with whoever pays for me,¡± Alexa didn¡¯t care about anything anymore and shouted. ¡°Say it again!¡± Terrence shouted angrily. ¡°Kieran paid for it.¡± Alexa met his gaze fearlessly. ¡°I gotta keep my word.¡± Chapter 203 Chapter 203 Chapter 203 Afraid of His Touch When she finished speaking. Alexa clearly felt that there was anger in Terrence¡¯s eyes. She gasped for breath in exhaustion, but Terrence directly grabbed her wrist and sneered coldly. ¡°He gave you money, right?¡± ¡°I have said everything I need to say. Let me go!¡± ¡°Alexa, you¡¯d better remember your words!¡± Terrence growled angrily and directly pulled her into the car. The driver tactfully hid to the side, and the car was instantly enveloped by a gloomy hostility. Alexa was unable to dodge, and her eyes turned red At this moment, Terrence was like a beast that had lost its mind, ready to tear her apart at any time. He did not say anything else and directly pressed the back of Alexa¡¯s head toward him, forcefully kissing her. In the end, it was a mess inside Alexa stayed at the side and sobbed in a low voice, slightly trembling as she adjusted her clothes. The gloomy expression on Terrence¡¯s face still did not ease up in the slightest Instead, his face darkened His cor was slightly open and there were several sharp scratches on his neck Seeing the tears on Alexa¡¯s face, Terrence felt a surge of irritation in his heart. He signed a check with cold eyes and lightly threw it over ¡°Don¡¯t you want money? 16 thousand dors once is that enough?¡± Alexa lowered her head and quickened her movements. Terrence sneered for no reason. He wrote a new one and threw it over ¡°You¡¯re needy, but you¡¯re only worth 32 thousand dors.¡± Alexa buttoned up thest button and said weakly. ¡°Thank you, Mr. Ramsey, for being so generous.¡± Terrence gritted his teeth with a darkened face and suddenly pulled her shoulder ruthlessly. ¡°Alexa, you are really cheap.¡± ¡°Yes, I am.¡± Alexa squeezed out a smile indifferently. ¡°Aren¡¯t you also cheap like me?¡± Terrence suddenly released her and grabbed her handbag. Alexa was shocked and immediately rushed over to snatch it away. ¡°Give it back to me!¡± Terrence took out a bottle of medicine from her bag and immediately held it in his hand to study it carefully. ¡°Alexa, tell me honestly. What kind of medicine is this?¡± ¡°What does it have to do with you? Are you sick?¡± Seeing that she was so nervous, Terrence immediately understood that Alexa was lying to him. ¡°It is not for protecting the baby, right?¡± ¡°It is!¡± ¡°Lying.¡± Terrence sneered lightly. The more worried Alexa was, the more he would not let it go. ¡°I¡¯ll ask David.¡± After that, Terrence picked up his phone and was ready to take a photo. Alexa was out of her mind, and she rushed forward regardless of anything. ¡°Give it back to me!¡± ¡°No.¡± ¡°I asked you to give it back to me. Don¡¯t you understand?¡± Alexa became more and more impatient, but she was crying. Terrence suddenly let go. She then threw herself into his arms all of a sudden. ¡°You¡­¡± Terrence spread out his hands nonchntly and lowered his head to mock her.This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°You threw yourself into my arms.¡± Alexa quickly sat up and distanced herself from him. Terrence immediately stopped smiling and returned the bottle to her. ¡°You have to answer my call. Otherwise, you should understand the consequences,¡± Terrence ordered. Alexa didn¡¯t want to listen to him at all, but Terrence locked the car, leaving her no way to escape. ¡°Where else do you want to go?¡± Terrence said coldly. ¡°Go back with me.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to see you,¡± Alexa said honestly. ¡°Terrence, I really hate you.¡± ¡°So what? Sit tight,¡± Terrence replied coldly. 2/4 Alexa had no choice but topromise obediently. Not long after, the driver parked the car at the entrance of Duckdale Vi. She wanted to give ra a call, but Terrence kept staring at her. It seemed like he wanted to stick his eyes on her. ¡°You¡¯d better give up those thoughts that you shouldn¡¯t have,¡± Terrence warned in a low voice. ¡°No one dares toe and take you away.¡± Alexa silently moved a step, and Terrence immediately stepped forward and grabbed her hand. ¡°Where are you going now?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going back to my room. Can you not go too far?¡± Alexa frowned helplessly. ¡°I¡¯m going too far?¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes instantly turned cold again. ¡°What about you?¡± Alexa felt she was unable tomunicate with him, so she had to silently return to her room. Since she still had the phone, Alexa immediately called ra back. ¡°Alexa, are you OK?¡± Kieran said anxiously. ¡°Where are you? I¡¯lle to you now.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me, ra,¡± Alexa replied calmly. ¡°I¡¯ll be fine for the time being, and I¡¯ll take the medicine on time.¡± ¡°Alexa¡­¡± ra immediately cried out with guilt, and Alexa was also very distressed. ¡°It¡¯s all my fault. If I protected you well¡­¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, ra. I will be back soon,¡± Alexaforted her. ¡°Alexa, I told everything to my brother. He¡¯ll find a way!¡± After ending the call, Alexa sighed helplessly. After so many things, she still returned to this ce. Momentster, someone knocked on the door. Alexa immediately became on guard, but the one who came in was Hry. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, Mr. Ramsey asked me to bring some vegetable soup.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t need it, but thank you.¡± ¡°You are now pregnant. You should at least eat a little.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not feeling well. I don¡¯t want to eat it. Please go. Seeing that Alexa¡¯splexion was not so good, Hry did not dare to provoke her, so she quickly left. After Terrence heard Hry¡¯s report, he personally brought a bowl of vegetable soup to her room. Alexa leaned weakly against the bed, and his face was pale. ¡°Why don¡¯t you eat it?¡± Terrence asked lightly and sat down beside her bed. Alexa saw him and her mood became even worse. ¡°I don¡¯t want to see you.¡± Terrence turned a deaf ear and scooped a spoonful of vegetable soup into her mouth. ¡°Open your mouth.¡± Alexa frowned slightly and dodged. Unexpectedly, she dropped the spoon. Terrence looked at her without any expression, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little cold. The vegetable soup soaked the bedding, and Alexa silently pursed her lips with guilt. Terrence directly put the bowl to the side, lifted the quilt, and picked her up. Alexa was particrly afraid of his touch and kept struggling in Terrence¡¯s arms. ¡°Terrence, what are you doing?¡± Hearing her hoarse voice, Terrence was faintly angry. ¡°I was wrong. I was wrong, okay?¡± She sobbed in his arms, and then she seemed to have a lump in her throat. Terrence¡¯s heart beat fast and he looked at Alexa with an incredulous expression. ¡°You¡­ What are you crying for?¡± he said unnaturally. However, Alexa had already cried her heart out andpletely ignored what he said. Terrence immediately quickened his pace, walked into his room, and ced her on the light gray bed. ¡°Why are you crying again?¡± Terrence tentatively handed over a piece of tissue. ¡°Don¡¯t cry, okay?¡± ¡°Terrence¡­ You¡­ Do you want me to die¡­¡± Chapter 204 Chapter 204 Chapter 204 He Never Comes Again ¡°How could I want you to die?¡± Terrence said lightly, and the sorrow in his eyes disappeared in an instant. In the end, it was he who had created today¡¯s situation. Alexa was still slightly choked up, and Terrence subconsciously distanced himself from her. Terrence wanted to tuck her in, but he was worried that Alexa would cry. ¡°Have a good rest.¡± ¡°Terrence, let me go¡­¡± Alexa said weakly, ¡°I want¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t think so much now.¡± Terrence interrupted Alexa with an unnatural expression. ¡°You just need to rest here.¡± Alexa leaned against the pillow and didn¡¯t want to continue talking to him. ¡°What do you want to eat for dinner? I¡¯ll make it.¡± Alexa shook her head slightly, and tears streaked down her cheeks. Terrence specially ordered an aromatherapy product. Not long after, Alexa fell asleep steadily. Time passed very slowly, and it was creating a silent and strange dream for her. Soon, Alexa suddenly woke up. She sat on the bed for a long time. When she realized that she was still on Terrence¡¯s bed, the fear in her eyes subconsciously faded a lot. Alexa looked at the time. It had only been less than ten minutes. However, she had just seen everything about how she had met Terrence in the dream. Alexa wondered, could it be that¡­ Alexa was so scared that she panicked and went to the bathroom uneasily. Alexa did not dare to look up at herself in the mirror. After hurriedly washing her face, she changed her clothes and went out. Terrence was in the kitchen dealing with ingredients, and there was a fragranceing from the pot. Alexa had no appetite and silently went to the backyard. The roses were still blooming, and the swing was empty. No one had been here for a long time. Alexa sat on it, shaking slightly, looking aimlessly into the distance. A long time ago, she was with Terrence, avoiding the pursuit of her enemies in this wood. In fact, Alexa had long known that the person behind the scenes was Mike, but she did not tell Terrence because he was so smart that he must be well aware of it. After that, she also met Keyon in this wood. Of course, she knew Keyon also had other powerful people behind him. However, now Keyon was Alexa¡¯s only rtive. Inadvertently, Alexa¡¯s eyes became moist again. She always felt that her memory was getting worse and worse recently. Sometimes, she even had to think about Terrence¡¯s name for a long time. Alexa diligently tried to recall everyone¡¯s name and appearance in her mind. She had never been so serious before. A shawl was draped over her body. Alexa subconsciously blurted out. ¡°Kieran¡­ Huh?¡± She looked back in surprise, but it was Terrence who stood behind her. His hands were still on Alexa¡¯s shoulders, but his face quickly became cold. ¡°Do you miss him so much?¡± Terrence smiled and said coldly, ¡°However, he never came to you again.¡± ¡°I know,¡± Alexa replied in a low voice, ¡°He is very busy. He has to save many patients every day.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Terrence¡¯s smile deepened, and his eyes were extremely cold. Alexa was not afraid. She continued to recall. She was really afraid that she would forget everything. ¡°I remember the night of our wedding¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough!¡± Terrence shouted in a low voice, and his face darkened as he stopped Alexa. ¡°I told you not to think about this. Don¡¯t you understand?¡± Faced with Terrence¡¯s anger, Alexa coldly raised her clear eyes. ¡°Excuse me, did I provoke you again?¡± Terrence was so angry that he could not speak and directly turned to leave. Alexa followed him for a few steps, and not long after, the silver Maybach left with a roar. Hry immediately chased after him and felt injustice for Alexa. ¡°Mr. Ramsey shouldn¡¯t be so rude. After all, he should think about your health.¡± Alexa shook her head helplessly. The tears that she had suppressed with great difficulty had once again gone out of control. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, dinner is ready.¡± The servant hurriedly brought the food tray to the table, and the atmosphere was very cheerful. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, Mr. Ramsey has been busy all afternoon with this table of dishes.¡± The servant, Sarah ir,pletely ignored Hry¡¯s wink and continued to say good words for Terrence in front of Alexa. ¡°In the past, Mr. Ramsey has never done this for anyone.¡± Alexa wondered, really? What about Brynlee¡­ Alexa immediately got up and said numbly. ¡°Leave them for him to eat. I don¡¯t need it.¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, you should at least eat something. After all, you are pregnant with the baby of the Ramsey family.¡± Hearing this, Alexa was extremely annoyed. She suddenly turned around and red at Sarah with anger in her eyes. ¡°My child has nothing to do with Terrence. We will not im ties of kinship with the Ramsey family.¡± Sarah knew she was in the wrong and lowered her head in fear, not daring to say a word. However, Alexa¡¯s annoyance was directly ignited. She wished that she could pour out all the resentment and humiliation she had endured during this period of time at that moment. ¡°Terrence is a bastard, I don¡¯t care about him at all.¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey¡­¡± Hry was terrified and tried to calm Alexa down. ¡°Don¡¯t be angry. It¡¯s not good for your health.¡± ¡°He has the guts to harm the people around me. Why didn¡¯t hee and harm me directly?¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, don¡¯t cry. Don¡¯t be sad anymore.¡± ¡°What is the meaning of me living¡­¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, please calm down¡­ Mrs. Ramsey¡­¡± Hry sobbed in sadness, and Alexa stubbornly wiped away her tears and ran to the gate. However, before she could take a few steps, a firm and broad shoulder blocked her way. Terrence lowered his head, his eyes deep and serene. ¡°Where are you going?¡± ¡°Get out of the way. It¡¯s none of your business.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good,¡± Terrence said, ¡°I¡¯ll run away from home with you.¡± Alexa was originally like a barrel of gunpowder that was about to explode, but now it was instantly sshed with cold water by Terrence. ¡°I won¡¯t go anywhere.¡± Alexa walked back impatiently. Terrence smiled gently and followed her. Hry finally breathed a sigh of relief, and she wisely had someone serve the dishes. Alexa was now angry. Seeing Terrence simply made her more annoyed. Without waiting for Alexa to speak, Terrence said first. ¡°You said you didn¡¯t care about me at all.¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Alexa said unhappily, ¡°There are people outside who care about you. Why are you bothering me?¡± ¡°You are my wife,¡± Terrence replied concisely. ¡°No.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°No!¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°No¡­¡± Terrence suddenly shifted his attention and casually picked up the dish sent by the servant. ¡°You can quarrel with me after you eat,¡± He said with a face full of displeasure, ¡°I am afraid of making you faint from anger.¡± Alexa really did not want Terrence to feed her, so she picked up the knife and fork on her own and had some food numbly. ¡°Have you been vomiting often recently? Are you feeling ufortable?¡± ¡°I feel ufortable when I see you.¡±This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Is that so?¡± Terrence asked calmly, ¡°Tell David toe.¡± Upon hearing ¡°David¡±, Alexa was afraid that Terrence would keep talking about her medicine. ¡°I¡¯m not feeling ufortable.¡± Chapter 205 Chapter 205 Chapter 205 Why Do You Hide Everything From Me? ¡°Okay.¡± Terrence readily agreed, but in the end, he still called David over. When Alexa faced David, she was so embarrassed that she wanted to make a hole to escape. Yet David waspletely devoid of his previous indifference. Instead, he looked at Alexa with a smile. ¡°You¡¯re back again.¡± Alexa was silent. Alexa lowered her head, too ashamed to face him.. ¡°Tell him if you feel ufortable.¡± Terrence suddenly reminded her, but Alexa still stubbornly said. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± ¡°She always coughs at night, and she looks unwell. She has no appetite these days.¡± Terrence spoke with ease at the side for a long time. David smiled and looked at Terrence meaningfully. ¡°I¡¯m asking the patient. Are you a patient?¡± Terrence gave him a warning look, and the two of them immediately reached a tacit understanding. ¡°Terrence, please bring me the prescription I gave youst time.¡± After sending Terrence away, David looked at Alexa. ¡°Can I take a look at the medicine you¡¯re taking now?¡± ¡°What medicine? I was taking medicine before to protect my baby, but not anymore.¡± Alexa subconsciously concealed it. ¡°Oh?¡± David¡¯s tone was calm, and he did not express his opinion. ¡°Why is Kieran with you? What kind of deal do you have with him?¡± David had known Terrence for a long time, so he was clear about these things. ¡°What did he give you?¡± ¡°Mr. Cooper, you think too much. ¡°I am just an ordinary person who is alone. What value can I have?¡± Alexa replied calmly. ¡°Where is your brother? Is Terrence also looking for him?¡± David continued to ask. 1/4 Hearing this, Alexa immediately looked more guarded. ¡°I don¡¯t know. I don¡¯t care where he is,¡± she answered firmly. David did not say anything more. He skillfully stuck the needle into her skin. Alexa watched coldly as the dark red blood was poured into the tube, and her head began to feel dizzy again. David saw that she was not in a good state and immediately began to find a topic to talk about. ¡°Terrence is very good to you. I have never seen him really care about anyone before.¡± ¡°Dr. Cooper. It has nothing to do with me.¡± Alexa ended the subject with a pale face. ¡°If he wants to make a clean break with you, he won¡¯t look for you without rest during that period.¡± After David finished speaking, he began to pack up his toolbox. Alexa was stunned as she pressed the cotton on the pinhole and started to panic again. ¡°I was the one who wanted to leave. He is not qualified to hurt Brenton.¡± Alexa said coldly, and the affection in her heart disappeared. David knew he was in the wrong and did not continue. At this time, Terrence came back. He naturally walked to Alexa, but she avoided his touch with an indifferent expression. ¡°How is it?¡± Terrence asked. ¡°I collected her blood. I will reply as soon as possible.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Terrence nodded seriously. ¡°She should be in a good mood and can¡¯t have too much emotional fluctuation.¡± ¡°Got it.¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes darkened in an instant, and he looked away unnaturally. ¡°Terrence,e to my car and get something.¡± T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. After David finished speaking, he walked in front solemnly. Alexa watched them leave without any change in her expression. She already understood what David was going to say. After all, how could a top doctor like him not see anything? After walking out of the vi, David became even more serious. ¡°Terrence, with my many years of experience, it is very likely that she has cancer.¡± ¡°What?¡± Terrence immediately stopped, and the expression on his face was cold. ¡°Kieran should have kept her medical records a secret. Otherwise, how could we have not found them? What¡¯s more, if there is no problem, there is no need to cover them up,¡± David said rationally. ¡°She said that she would not lie to me with Kieran.¡± Hearing Terrence say this seriously, David was immediately petrified. ¡°Do you really believe it?¡± ¡°Why not?¡± ¡°Alright.¡± David sighed heavily and could not argue. ¡°She would not dare to lie to me,¡± Terrence added with confidence. ¡°As long as she still owes me money, she won¡¯t dare to escape my control.¡± David really didn¡¯t know what to say to him. Alexa was forced to be with Terrence. They would only hurt each other. In the end, no one had any benefits. ¡°By the way, regarding the child in her belly, you can use blood to identify its biological father¡­¡± ¡°No need.¡± Terrence nced at him calmly. ¡°Tell me what exactly is wrong with her body.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± After watching David leave, Terrence slowly walked back. It was only a few minutes, but the gloom in Terrence¡¯s heart suddenly deepened a lot. Was it still the same? Nothing could be left¡­ However, when he reached the door of Alexa¡¯s room, Terrence immediately changed his expression as if nothing had happened. He knocked on the door and entered the room. Alexa was leaning against the bed,pletely absorbed in drawing patterns on the sketch. ¡°You¡¯re back.¡± Alexa looked up gently. ¡°Yes,¡± Terrence said indifferently, ¡°Are you hungry? I¡¯ll make dinner.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t we just have dinner?¡± Hearing Alexa¡¯s voice, Terrence came out of his trance. ¡°Well, I¡¯ll go downstairs with you for a walk.¡± Alexa looked at his absent-minded appearance and immediately understood everything. ¡°What did Dr. Cooper say to you?¡± Terrence looked at her indifferent expression and suddenly felt a pain in his heart. He sat down numbly by the bed and stared straight at her. ¡°Are you hiding something from me?¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Alexa shed a smile. ¡°I¡¯m not a doctor.¡± ¡°Alexa, tell me,¡± Terrence said persistently, ¡°Why did you hide it from me?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t make it sound like I cheated on you and hurt your feelings, okay?¡± Alexa smiled even more brightly and did not take Terrence¡¯s nervousness seriously at all. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Alexa threw away the sketch in her hand. ¡°Life is short.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be silly,¡± Terrence retorted in a deep voice. ¡°No matter what disease it is, I have the ability to invite the best expert to treat you.¡± ¡°Terrence, this is the first time you are so generous to me.¡± ¡°Nonsense.¡± Terrence replied simperingly and took away the food that Alexa had not finished. Immediately after leaving her room, Terrence seemed to have be a different person, and no one dared to appear in front of him. He, who had never smoked, lit a cigarette in his hand and quietly burned it. When the fire reached the cigarette butt, Terrence ruthlessly crushed the cigarette butt on the ground. What should he do with Alexa? In the end, Terrence dialed Kieran¡¯s number. In the top private room at one o¡¯clock in the morning, the atmosphere was terrible. Kieran calmly sat opposite him with a proud look like a winner. ¡°I want you to tell me the truth about Alexa.¡± Chapter 206 Chapter 206 Chapter 206 I Don¡¯t Need Gifts ¡°Tell you the truth? Who are you to say so?¡± Kieran asked, amused. Terrence¡¯s eyes were dark. When he faced Kieran, he always showed undisguised cruelty. ¡°Do you think I don¡¯t know why you used Alexa?¡± Even though Terrence was right, Kieran still confronted him calmly with a straight face. ¡°She agreed to the wedding.¡± Kieran secretly rubbed the wedding ring on his finger. ¡°You don¡¯t admit it? Huh, who do you think you are?¡± Terrence stared at Kieranposedly,pletely unaffected by his words. On the negotiation table, Terrence was forever the winner. ¡°The Powell Group received 8 million dors three days ago. Who gave it?¡± Terrence slowly revealed a sneer, his eyes deep and cold. ¡°I don¡¯t care what method you used. In short, the internal operations of the Powell Group have nothing to do with you.¡± ¡°Alexa is my woman, so this matter is rted to me,¡± Terrence said icily. ¡°If I¡¯m not wrong, there should be more money.¡± ¡°I said¡­¡± ¡°Keyon is secretly runningpanies in several countries. Alexa must not know that her good brother sold. her.¡± ¡°What do you know?¡± Kieran suddenly got up, and his wless expression disappeared. ¡°If you talk nonsense in front of her, you will only harm her!¡± ¡°You worry too much.¡± Terrence looked up at him frostily. ¡°I have enough ability to protect her.¡± ¡°Ha, do you know that the person she hates the most is you?¡± Kieran sneered. Half of Terrence¡¯s face was hidden in the darkness, and the vibe around him silently worsened, immediately making the atmosphere tense. ¡°I might as well tell you. The person who chased you that day was sent by Keyon.¡± After saying that, Kieran turned around and left nonchntly. Terrence sat alone at the table, the protruding blue veins on his forehead looming. He was furious and rushed out of the door, but he was stopped by Brenton, who came with a bunch of people. The bodyguards on both sides were instantly at loggerheads and could start a fierce battle at any time. Terrence nced at Brenton casually and did not take Brenton seriously at all. Brenton was dressed in a light gray suit, and his right hand was wrapped in heavy ster. ¡°Terrence, I knew you were here!¡± Brenton growled and red at Terrence with hatred in his eyes. ¡°Where¡¯s Alexa? Give me back Alexa!¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes immediately darkened. He was like an iceberg standing in front of Brenton. ¡°She is in poor health and can¡¯t stand your torment. Come at me!¡± Hearing Brenton¡¯s words, Terrence instantly reacted. He grabbed Brenton¡¯s cor without hesitation and gritted his teeth with a terrible expression. ¡°What do you know? What did Kieran say to you?¡± Brenton was stunned and suddenly smiled sinisterly. ¡°Terrence, what are you pretending for? You tied her to your side. How can you not know?¡± ¡°Say it!¡± Terrence¡¯s action was violent. He pulled Brenton¡¯s wound, but Brenton acted as if he did not sense any pain and fearlessly met Terrence¡¯s gaze. ¡°If you kill her, I will make you pay with your life.¡± ¡°You are all lying to me, aren¡¯t you?¡± Terrence pushed him away ruthlessly. He walked to the garage in a huff. This time, hepletely could not control the anger in his heart. He stepped on the elerator to the end and headed straight for Duckdale Vi. It was already dawn. Terrence looked at the time. It was half past five. When the car drove to the road in front of Duckdale Vi, Terrence subconsciously slowed down and quietly drove into the garage. The servants in the kitchen had already started working and were processing today¡¯s ingredients. Hry happily carried a gift bag upstairs. When she saw Terrence, she stopped in surprise. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, you are back.¡± ¡°What is this?¡± Hry was stunned and immediately exined, ¡°This is a gift brought by Edwin just now. He said that you had bought a gift for Mrs. Ramsey.¡± Terrence thought about it and immediately understood. It must be that olddy who told Edwin to do so. ¡°Mr. Ramsey,¡± Hry smiled meaningfully. ¡°Are you taking it to Mrs. Ramsey?¡± When he met Hry¡¯s expectant gaze, Terrence did not refuse. He took the bag and briskly went upstairs, his anger disappearing without a trace. Thinking that Alexa might be sleeping now, Terrence directly pushed open the door and entered the room. He did not expect to see Alexa trying on the dress in front of the dressing mirror. She turned pale and eximed, ¡°Ah! Terrence? Why are you here?¡± Terrencepletely ignored her panic, his gentle eyes admiring her beauty. Alexa wore a maroon dress. She was slender, and she looked even more beautiful and tender now. ¡°This dress is nice.¡± Terrence praised her. ¡°It suits your temperament very well.¡± Alexa stood in front of him cautiously, unable to avoid him as if her feet were filled with lead. ¡°Don¡¯t look anymore. I¡¯m not wearing this. I¡¯m going to change it now,¡± Alexa said a little shyly. Thinking of the clothes that she had been wearing for several years, Terrence immediately held Alexa¡¯s hand. ¡°No,¡± he said in a gentle tone. ¡°Are you leaving these beautiful clothes for me if you don¡¯t wear them?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t mess around.¡± Alexa¡¯s little face immediately turned red. Terrence pulled her over and personally adjusted her belt. ¡°Don¡¯t tie it so tightly,¡± Terrence mumbled, standing behind her. ¡°Do you think you are still a little girl?¡± Alexa felt ashamed at once, flushing. Terrence gently ced his palms on her waist and moved them to her round belly. As he recalled David¡¯s words yesterday, Terrence¡¯s eyes flickered. Alexa froze Terrence put his hands on her belly, and his intense eyes were filled with softness and surprise. In Alexa¡¯s body, there was a baby. ¡°It¡¯s already so big¡­¡± He muttered to himself. Alexa lowered her head in his arms and murmured. ¡°Today, it is five months old.¡± ¡°Time really flies.¡± Terrence was somewhat lost in thought. By the time he reacted, Alexa had already left his embrace and was sitting in front of the dressing table, combing her hair. ¡°A gift for you.¡± Terrence went forward and handed her the gift bag. Alexa took it and put it aside as if she was not very interested in what was inside. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to open it?¡± ¡°You have already given me a lot of gifts. Thank you,¡± Alexa said indifferently. Even so, she did not wear the jewelry he had given her. She only wore her mother¡¯s emerald bangle. ¡°You don¡¯t like it?¡± Terrence immediately asked. ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to buy another gift.¡± Alexa paused and shook her head slightly. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°No need. I don¡¯t need any gifts.¡± Chapter 207 Chapter 207 Chapter 207 I¡¯d Rather Talk to Others Alexa applied a little lipstick. She felt a little strange when she saw Terrence standing there. ¡°Do you have anything else to say?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you.¡± ¡°Just say it.¡± Terrence closed his eyes silently and said casually. ¡°I met Kieran and Brentonst night.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Alexa was not in the mood to dress up. She stared at Terrence in the mirror with a dull look in her eyes. ¡°What did you talk about?¡± ¡°Of course, we talked,¡± Terrence said in a low voice, ¡°I told them not to have any more illusions about you. No one can take you away from me.¡± He seemed to be ying with Alexa¡¯s hair, with an unpredictable look in his eyes. ¡°Well, anything else?¡± ¡°Of course, but why should I tell you?¡± Terrence¡¯s face didn¡¯t change much, but there was a strong sense of pressure around him, which made Alexa unable to escape. ¡°You have kept a lot of things from me, haven¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Terrence, there is no need for us to have anything else to do with each other.¡± Alexa¡¯s tone suddenly became cold and her eyes dodged. ¡°I¡¯ve already applied for divorce. We¡¯re no longer husband and wife.¡± ¡°Alexa, I haven¡¯t signed it yet.¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes were gloomy. ¡°We are still legal couples. I haven¡¯t held you ountable for what happened between you and Kieran.¡± ¡°I love him.¡± Alexa said firmly word by word, which surprised Terrence. ¡°What did you say?¡± he said through gritted teeth. ¡°If I didn¡¯t love him, I wouldn¡¯t have agreed to marry him,¡± Alexa said calmly, ¡°As long as you sign it, I can get the marriage certificate with him immediately.¡± ¡°Alexa, dream on!¡± Terrence suddenly became agitated. ¡°I will never allow you and that man to be together!¡± After a few words, the two of them quarreled again. Alexa had no choice but to keep silent again. Terrence was already very angry, and now she added fuel to the fire. ¡°You would rather tell your story to an outsider than let me know a little, wouldn¡¯t you?¡± ¡°An outsider?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t they outsiders? Terrence replied unhappily. ¡°What¡¯s the point of saying that?¡± Embarrassed, Alexa changed the topic and moved aside. However, Terrence caught up with her and forcefully grabbed Alexa¡¯s wrist. ¡°You think I¡¯m an outsider, don¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Terrence, I don¡¯t want to talk about this with you. What you think is your business.¡± Terrence continued, ¡°Again? You always disassociate yourself from me.¡± ¡°Let me go¡­¡± Alexa frowned ufortably when someone knocked on the door. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Mrs. Ramsey, Mr. Cooper has arrived.¡± Hearing this, Terrence looked back at Alexa with a subtle look in his eyes. ¡°You don¡¯t have to tell me. I can know by myself.¡± Hearing Terrence¡¯s words, Alexa felt a sharp pain in her heart. She didn¡¯t follow up, and not long after, Terrence rushed back. ¡°Go to the hospital with me!¡± ¡°Okay¡­¡± When they were in the car, Terrence was so cold that she almost froze. He held several reports tightly in his hands, and the coldness around him became more and more intense. Alexa was still wearing that dress. Her red lips made her skin look fair. But Terrence ignored herpletely. His gloomy face showed that he was extremely angry at the moment. ¡°Alexa, great!¡± He tried his best to force himself not to say anything he shouldn¡¯t, but Alexa¡¯s indifferent attitude made him angry again. ¡°You¡¯ve been hiding it from me for so long. You¡¯re awesome.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not a serious problem. There¡¯s no need¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s not very serious? Then when is it serious? When your organs die?¡± Thinking of David¡¯s frightened reaction just now, Terrence began to break down. After a moment of silence, he immediately held Alexa¡¯s hand. ¡°Does it hurt? Why don¡¯t you tell me?¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt. I¡¯ve been taking medicine for a long time.¡± Alexa looked straight at him calmly. Terrence was so depressed that he couldn¡¯t breathe. ¡°I have contacted the doctor. Everything will be fine,¡± Terrence said confidently, ¡°It¡¯s just a minor illness. You will recover soon.¡± ¡°Terrence, don¡¯t worry too much.¡± As soon as Alexa finished her words, the driver suddenly stepped on the brake. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, the road ahead is blocked by the reporters.¡± ¡°Send someone to drive them away,¡± Terrence ordered coldly. Alexa looked through the car window at the scene not far away. Those people swarmed towards her. The well-trained bodyguards of Terrence looked a little weak in front of such a scene. Obviously, this was deliberately organized. When Alexa was thinking about it, several luxury cars came. Brenton rolled down the window and walked towards Terrence¡¯s car without hesitation. He knocked on the mirror, and the surrounding press immediately rushed up and surrounded the car. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, can you talk about your marriage with Mr. Powell?¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, why are you with Mr. Ramsey?¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, Mrs. Ramsey¡­¡± This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Get out of my way!¡± Brenton roared angrily. The window was rolled down. When Brenton saw Alexa in Terrence¡¯s arms, he froze. ¡°Alexa,e with me!¡± ¡°Brenton¡­ Why are you here?¡± ¡°Come with me.¡± Brenton¡¯s tone was very urgent. Just as he was speaking, the crowd behind him had begun to fight against the bodyguards. Terrence immediately understood that the purpose of this group of people was not that simple, and subconsciously protected Alexa more tightly. ¡°Go!¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, but¡­¡± ¡°Hurry up!¡± ¡°Yes¡­¡± The driver stepped on the elerator gingerly, and the car immediately drove towards the crowd. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, we¡¯re about to bump into them.¡± ¡°Keep going. Don¡¯t stop.¡± Those people seemed to find that the car did not intend to stop, and atst, they scattered. Alexa trembled in Terrence¡¯s arms and said in a low voice ¡°Brenton¡­¡± ¡°My men are there. He will be fine.¡± ¡°Why did those people do this?¡± ¡°Easy,¡± Terrence gently stroked her hair and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Everything will be fine.¡± The driver drove the car into the garage of the hospital, and more than a hundred bodyguards followed closely to protect them. ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Alexa looked a little restless, and Terrence was worried about her, so he entered the examination room with her. Just then, Edwin rushed over. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, someone is hyping what happened just now. Now everyone is talking about this online.¡± Terrence calmly took the documents from Edwin and didn¡¯t take them seriously. ¡°The CEO of Hudson Group hit someone by car and ran away.¡± ¡°Ask the public rtions department to deal with it in two hours.¡± Terrence didn¡¯t take these things seriously at all. ¡°Don¡¯t let Alexa know anything about it.¡± Chapter 208 Chapter 208 Chapter 208 I Will nt Flowers for You If anyone hurt Alexa, Terrence would get angry. Edwin had already seen through this, but he didn¡¯t say anything. Not long after, Alexa came out of the examination room. The doctor was so busy that he immediately went through the admission procedures for her. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, your body may have rejection during the treatment. We will follow up. Don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Alexa looked calm. However, Terrence had always been worried about her andforted her. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. You will be fine soon.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not afraid,¡± said Alexa calmly, ¡°It¡¯s not the first time that I¡¯vee to the hospital.¡± ¡°I have contacted the top research team. They will soon develop a specific medicine for you.¡± Alexa blinked her eyes and thought for a long time. Finally, she said, ¡°If anything happens, please tell Kieran not to forget to water my flowers.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t think too much.¡± Terrence immediately changed the topic. ¡°There is also an open space in our backyard. When you recover, I will nt flowers for you.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Alexa was lying on the bed, looking out of the window with dull eyes. ¡°I¡¯m fine. You don¡¯t have to stay with me.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll stay here with you,¡± Terrence sat down beside her bed. ¡°We¡¯ll leave the hospital together when you recover.¡± ¡°When you recover, when you recover¡­¡± Unconsciously, Terrence was used to saying that. Alexa felt her eyes swelling and something was moving up. ¡°Terrence, I¡¯m hungry.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll cook for you now.¡± Alexa shook her head and said in a low voice. ¡°Do you know that a chestnut cake shop in the north of the city is still there?¡± Terrence knew that Alexa was asking him to leave with an excuse, but he didn¡¯t expose it and left the ward as she said. Before long, someone knocked on the door. Alexa immediately suppressed herplex emotions and put on a faint smile again. ¡°Come in, please.¡± The door was pushed open, revealing a beautiful figure in a mint green dress. ¡°Are you¡­ Ms. Bailey?¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, long time no see.¡± Rita sat down not far away and looked at Alexa gently and demurely. It took Alexa a long time to connect Rita with the person she met at the partyst time. Ritapletely changed. Her luxurious jewelry was gone, and her soft ck hair was gently resting on her shoulder. ¡°I heard that Mrs. Ramsey is not in good health recently, so I especiallye to see you.¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Alexa calmly changed the topic. ¡°How are Ms. Bailey and Mr. Powell doing recently?¡± Hearing this, Rita was slightly stunned. She didn¡¯t expect that Alexa would say so. The so-called ¡°Mrs. Powell¡± shouldn¡¯t say that at all. ¡°It seems that Mrs. Ramsey doesn¡¯t know it yet.¡± This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Alexa¡¯s heart skipped a beat. ¡°Kieran had a car ident after he met Mr. Ramsey that night.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°His right hand is injured. I don¡¯t know if he will fully recover.¡± Rita said with tears in her eyes. ¡°The police have checked the footage and found that someone deliberately ran into his car.¡± ¡°Ms. Bailey¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m taking care of him now. Kieran is a doctor. I don¡¯t know who wants to hurt him!¡± ¡°What did the police say?¡± Rita shook her head and wiped her tears with a handkerchief. ¡°They still haven¡¯t found the murderer.¡± ¡°Howe? How is Mr. Powell now?¡± Alexa clenched her sleeves and felt like throwing up. When Rita saw that she began to care about Kieran, a hint of jealousy quickly shed across Rita¡¯s cold eyes. ¡°I¡¯ll take care of him. He¡¯ll be fine.¡± Alexa nodded with relief, and she began to think. The night he met Terrence¡­ Was it¡­ Alexa was frightened by her thoughts and immediately stopped thinking. No matter how ruthless Terrence was, it was impossible for him to do this. Rita seemed to have read Alexa¡¯s mind. She smiled carelessly and hinted. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Mrs. Ramsey. Mr. Ramsey won¡¯t hurt you.¡± ¡°He?¡± Alexa asked back. Then her face turned pale and she didn¡¯t say anything more. Rita sneered proudly and took the opportunity to say. ¡°After all, he did everything for you, Mrs. Ramsey. If I were you, I would have been moved.¡± At the end of her words, Rita had no patience to pretend anymore. She directly said. ¡°I don¡¯t care what¡¯s going on between you and Terrence, but please don¡¯t bother Kieran again, or I won¡¯t let you go.¡± Alexa had expected this, so she didn¡¯t feel surprised. ¡°Okay, I know,¡± she said in a low voice, ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± ¡°It¡¯s all because of you that Kieran was hurt!¡± Rita shouted fiercely. ¡°You fucked all over New York. Shame on you!¡± Alexa silently endured her insults. Atst, the door was pushed open. Terrence appeared at the door, staring at Rita coldly. Rita, who had been arrogant just now, was now scared. ¡°Mr. Ramsey¡­¡± ¡°Get out!¡± ¡°I just¡­¡± ¡°Do you want me to ask someone to invite you out?¡± 3/4 Terrence said word by word clearly, and Rita immediately went out with a pale face. Seeing the cake box in his hand, Alexa felt more and more bitter. Just as she thought Terrence would be angry again, he calmly sat beside her bed and opened the cake box. The cakes inside had a sweet smell of chestnuts. ¡°Is it the one you want?¡± Terrence said gently, ¡°Have a taste first. I¡¯ll buy more if it tastes good.¡± Alexa cautiously picked up one and took a sip. The tears that she had held back for a long time finally fell at that moment. ¡°Terrence¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t cry.¡± Terrence wiped her tears carefully and gently. ¡°Doesn¡¯t it taste good?¡± He took a bite of the cake in Alexa¡¯s hand and nodded approvingly. ¡°Yummy.¡± Seeing Alexa¡¯s tearful eyes staring at the cake in her hand, Terrence subconsciously said what he had hidden in his heart for many years. ¡°When we were in high school, I often saw Keyon take you to buy things to eat.¡± At that time, Terrence wasn¡¯t that cold, and he still had feelings for the warmth of the world. ¡°I envied you very much at that time.¡± Every word Terrence said was true. He felt that Alexa¡¯s breath gradually calmed down, and he was relieved. ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°For what?¡± Terrence held her in her arms and said, ¡°This is what I should do.¡± Alexa temporarily forgot the unhappiness just now and ate two cakes in a row for the first time. She didn¡¯t know how much he had heard from Rita, but Alexa couldn¡¯t believe that Terrence would send someone to hurt Kieran. ¡°Terrence¡­¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°I want to ask you something.¡± Chapter 209 Chapter 209 Chapter 209 You Question Me for Him ¡°Okay, go ahead.¡± Terrence gently touched her hair with his fingertips, and his eyes were full of tenderness. ¡°Dr. Powell was injured, just on the night he met you.¡± Hearing this. Terrence immediately stopped and kept a distance from her. The tenderness in his eyes faded away in an instant and then turned to be as cold as before. Alexa looked at him in surprise. ¡°Do you think I did something to him?¡± ¡°I just¡­¡± ¡°No need to say anything more.¡± Terrence stood up decisively and stood in front of her coldly. ¡°Am I such a bad person in your eyes?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t get me wrong. I just want to ask you.¡± ¡°Are you questioning me for him?¡± Alexa was getting more and more anxious, but Terrence¡¯s face was as dark as ink, so she didn¡¯t dare to say anything more. The two of them chose to be silent at the same time, and the temperature in the ward instantly seemed to drop. Alexa lowered her head with tears in her eyes. The cake in her hands was getting cold and greasy. A few minutester, Terrence sighed helplessly, with deep disappointment and anger. ¡°I know you care about Kieran,¡± he said coldly, ¡°But do you have to show it in front of me?¡± Alexa didn¡¯t know how to retort and even med herself for what she had done. ¡°It¡¯s my fault,¡± Alexa coughed heavily and said weakly, ¡°I won¡¯t do that again.¡± Terrence bit his lips and left the ward with a long face. Before long, a group of doctors rushed over and began to check Alexa. The ward was once again busy. Terrence stood at the door with cold eyes and stared at her. Alexa tried hard to hold back her tears and looked at the doctors with a stubborn look. Without saying anything more, Terrence turned around and left without hesitation. Two hourster, the doctors left. Alexay on the bed weakly and began to feel sleepy. But the smell of medicine in the ward made her want to vomit. After thinking for a while, Alexa managed to get up. She slowly walked to the door of the ward, and suddenly there was a burst of footsteps outside. Before Alexa could dodge, Terrence appeared in front of her again. With a bunch of white lilies in his hand, the ck suit on him looked more and more decent and gracious. Alexa was amazed, but Terrence was still cold to her. He gave the flowers to her and walked into the ward. ¡°Where do you want to escape?¡± As soon as Terrence spoke, Alexa gave up her ns. ¡°I just want to go downstairs for a walk. Where did you buy such beautiful flowers?¡± ¡°You think too much. I didn¡¯t buy them,¡± Terrence said calmly, ¡°It¡¯s from someone else.¡± ¡°Others? Who?¡± ¡°Why do you ask so many questions?¡± The fresh and elegant lily fragrance soon filled the ward. The smell of medicine dispelled a lot, and Alexa felt much better. ¡°Hey, I¡¯ve brought you flowers,¡± Terrence said meaningfully. Alexa replied without hesitation. ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°Thank you?¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°Just thank you?¡± ¡°Then¡­ Or what?¡± Terrence didn¡¯t expect that Alexa was such a blockhead. He moved closer to her and pointed to his face carelessly. ¡°How can I know whether you are sincere or not?¡± Alexa blushed at once as if he was flirting with her. ¡°How?¡± ¡°What do you think?¡± Terrence asked. Alexa understood what he meant, but she was unwilling to admit it. ¡°I don¡¯t understand.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Terrence stood up and walked towards her, holding her shoulder. Alexa looked at him, her heart beating faster than before. ¡°We have been married for a long time. Why are you still so shy?¡± ¡°What long time?¡± Alexa mumbled, feeling that Terrence¡¯s hand was holding her more tightly. He leaned slightly and raised her chin. Alexa passively raised her head and felt Terrence¡¯s warm thin lips gently pressing on her. He wasn¡¯t as forceful as he used to be. Instead, he was as gentle as a feather. Alexa¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief. She pushed him away and hid aside. Terrence licked his lips and looked at her with satisfaction. Alexa raised her hand to wipe her lips and said defensively. ¡°Don¡¯t do that!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t do what?¡± Alexa grabbed her clothes awkwardly and immediately changed the topic. ¡°Thank you. I don¡¯t want to take a walk. I need to have a rest.¡± ¡°You just ate cakes. Can you sleep now?¡± Terrence knew her so well that he reached out his hand to her. ¡°I¡¯ll go for a walk with you.¡± Alexa looked at him hesitantly. Obviously, she didn¡¯t want to ept his request. They would talk when they were together. Once they started to talk, they would fight again within three sentences. Alexa was so scared that she didn¡¯t dare to give it another try. Unexpectedly, Terrence sat down on the edge of her bed. The distance between the two was instantly shortened, and Alexa closed her eyes and began to pretend to be asleep. Terrence got close to her in a low voice, so close that her long and thick eyshes could be seen clearly. ¡°You look much better recently. ¡°In my opinion, you can be discharged in less than two days.¡± Alexa couldn¡¯t help interrupting him when he mentioned her illness. ¡°I just started to be hospitalized today. How could it be so soon?¡± You are young, so of course, you will recover soon.¡± His warm breath fell on Alexa¡¯s ears, making her feel like being grilled by a fire. She didn¡¯t dare to take a deep breath. However, she fell asleep in the end. After she fell asleeppletely, Terrence left the ward and called Edwin in coldly. ¡°Have you checked the Duran family and those people?¡± ¡°All the servants in the past have lost contact. There is an old woman named Mary Hansom who is in her sixties. She used to be Mrs. Ramsey¡¯s personal housekeeper.¡± ¡°Where is she?¡± ¡°We¡¯ve brought her to New York. Mr. Ramsey can see her at any time.¡± Without any hesitation, Terrence went to the meeting ce in person. Not long after, he met the old man Edwin had mentioned in a caf¨¦. She wore an ancient rose-purple dress, and her silver hair was neatly coiled around the hairpin. Although she was already sixty years old, her body was still like a beautiful girl. ¡°Mrs. Hansom,¡± Terrence said politely, ¡°sorry to trouble you.¡± Seeing Terrence, Mary smiled happily. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s Mr. Ramsey. How has Mrs. Ramsey been recently?¡± This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Terrence replied politely, ¡°Good, she has been in the Ramsey family for three years.¡± ¡°Oh!¡± Mary nodded repeatedly and said with relief, ¡°I¡¯m sure she must love you very much.¡± ¡°Not bad.¡± ¡°At that time, her parents didn¡¯t agree with you being together.¡± Mary said vaguely, but Terrence still caught the point. Chapter 210 Chapter 210 Chapter 210 I¡¯m Here to Bring You Home ¡°Mrs. Hansom, what do you mean¡­¡± Terrence asked carefully, ¡°Do you mean Alexa used to be¡­¡± Mary smiled. Then she replied kindly, ¡°Alexa is a girl. It¡¯s normal that she has her own secret.¡± Terrence instantly had strange feelings, and he suddenly felt hope. ¡°However, Mr. Duran and Mrs. Duran did not agree. Even Alexa¡¯s brother who always doted on her didn¡¯t agree.¡± Terrence frowned and looked puzzled. ¡°I don¡¯t know about these things.¡± Mary said slowly, ¡°Mr. Ramsey, there is no need to know. Because Alexa and Mr. Powell are already engaged.¡± Hearing this, Terrence immediately stood up with a cold face and red at Mary. ¡°How much did Kieran give you?¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, I didn¡¯t lie to you,¡± Mary said firmly and took out an old document from her pocket. ¡°This is the document signed by the two families at that time. You can have a look.¡± Terrence pulled the document over and tore the paper into pieces without even looking at it. ¡°What the hell? What¡¯s the use of this kind of thing!¡± Mary was not frightened by Terrence. She was still sitting in a dignified manner. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, are you afraid?¡± ¡°Are you kidding me? She is my wife now. And no one can take her away!¡± Terrence said in a gloomy tone. Mary was unconcerned. She sighed without changing her expression. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, you won¡¯t have a happy ending with Alexa.¡± After all, Alexa would never forgive Terrence. Mary recalled the past, and her eyes once again were full of grief. However, Terrence waspletely angered by the engagement. He did not even think about what Mary had said. Alexa had married him for three years. How could she have an engagement with Kieran? ¡°That¡¯s all I can say. I hope that Mr. Ramsey can think about it carefully.¡± Mary stood up and suddenly remembered something. ¡°Hasn¡¯t Mr. Keyon returned yet?¡± There was no response. Mary was amiable, and she had a kind smile on her face. Then she left without looking back. Terrence clenched his fists, and the veins on his forearm bulged. He did not immediately return to the hospital but drove to the Powell¡¯s house. The solemn building was brightly lit, and there were many people in the living room. Before the servant could report, Terrence directly stepped into the house. He stood at the gate, which made people in the house stunned. It became quiet. Bart, who was sitting opposite Kieran, immediately stopped his speech and nced at Terrence with an unhappy expression. ¡°Solve it yourself.¡± Bart ordered Kieran with a dark face. ¡°Mr. Powell¡­¡± Rita tried to say something, but Bart didn¡¯t respond. She looked worriedly at Kieran, but Kieran did not even look at her. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Kieran is injured. Can youe another day¡­¡± ¡°Kieran, what did you say to Alexa?¡± In the face of Terrence¡¯s question, Kieran was silent for a long time. The blood on his body became more dazzling. Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°What did I tell her?¡± Kieran red at Terrence. There was hatred in Kieran¡¯s eyes. ¡°Terrence, you don¡¯t admit that you did a bad thing. But now youe to my house to question me. You bastard!¡± ¡°Kieran, don¡¯t be arrogant in front of me.¡± Terrence was indifferent. There was no sign of guilt on his face. Kieran was so angry that his hands trembled. He covered his chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Rita was shocked. She immediately supported Kieran. She shouted, ¡°Enough! Stop saying!¡± She held Kieran in her arms and looked at Terrence with tears in her eyes. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Kieran is a doctor. His hands are so important!¡± ¡°It has nothing to do with me. The person who harmed you is not me.¡± ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Kieran added weakly, ¡°You took my beloved wife and ruined my future¡­ You¡­¡± Terrence stood to the side with a cold face. He had no intention to exin. Seeing Kieran like this. Terrence also knew that it was useless to talk to Kieran. A momentter, Terrence left in silence. Edwin led the people to wait for Terrence at the door. Terrence tiredly pinched the space between his eyebrows and gave an order that could not be resisted. He said, ¡°Investigate the car ident that night. I want to know what happened!¡± ¡°Yes, Mr. Ramsey.¡± After Edwin left, Terrence drove to the hospital. However, halfway, he received a call from the hospital. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Ms. Duran¡¯s heartbeat stopped for a while. She is now being rescued!¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± Terrence¡¯s expression changed, and he almost lost his control. ¡°Send the best expert over. I will go to the hospital immediately!¡± Terrence waspletely panicked. When he hung up the phone, his phone slipped out of his hand. It was raining at night. The water mist clung to the car window. Terrence suddenly remembered Mary¡¯s words. He panicked. He stepped on the gas pedal and drove all the way to the hospital. At this moment, the atmosphere in the operating room was very tense. Alexa¡¯s heartbeat stopped for a moment. Even the experienced doctors were panicking at this moment. ¡°We have to operate as soon as possible. Has the family member signed yet?¡± ¡°They should be arriving soon!¡± The doctor was anxious and angry, constantly thinking of ways to maintain Alexa¡¯s heartbeat. At this time, Alexa had already entered a semi-conscious state. She almost lost her vision, but she could hear the voice beside her clearly. ¡°Ms. Duran, you can¡¯t give up!¡± ¡°Rx. Rx!¡± It was difficult for Alexa to respond, but she tried her best to clench her fists as if she wanted to say something. The nurse crept in front of Alexa and listened carefully, vaguely hearing a few words. Te¡­ rrence¡­¡± At this time, the medical instrument beside her issued a sharp rm. ¡°It¡¯s toote. Start the operation immediately!¡± ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°If we keep waiting, the sess rate of rescue will only get lower and lower.¡± After a struggle, they sent Alexa into the operating room. Not long after, a fully equipped man entered the operating room with the doctors. ¡°Mr. Duran.¡± Everyone nodded in unison. The man slowly stepped forward and leaned over to hold Alexa¡¯s thin hand. Alexa, who was in the operating room, had already fallen into aa. The situation was getting worse and worse. But the man was confident. He said affectionately, ¡°Alexa, don¡¯t be afraid. I¡¯m here to bring you home.¡± When Terrence arrived at the hospital, the operation was already in progress. He waited restlessly for a while. Kieran, Brenton, and others also arrived. Carissa excitedly stepped forward and grabbed Terrence¡¯s cor, shouting. ¡°What the hell are you trying to do to Alexa?¡± Terrence did not respond, and his face darkened as he lowered his head. Kieran wished he could rush into the room right now. But when he saw the ster in his hand, he could only stop unwillingly. ¡°If Alexa left with me at that time, she wouldn¡¯t be like this¡­¡± Brenton murmured and fell to a chair. Chapter 211 Chapter 211 Chapter 211 Why Don¡¯t You Look at Her? Two hourster, there was still no news. Terrence stood by the door, and his nerves were already numb. Inside the room, there was a tense operation. The nurse carefully opened a safe and took out the light blue medicine inside. Keyon¡¯s gaze grew deeper as he closely stared at their movements. The special medicine that he had spent twenty years researching could be useful now. Keyon half-knelt beside Alexa, and his voice was gentle. He softly whispered into her ear. ¡°Alexa, our family and the Ramsey family are enemies. From now on, forget about him.¡± On the bed, Alexa moved her fingers slightly. It seemed that she responded to him. Seeing this, Keyon continued his words. ¡°I have already found out that our foster parents were killed by Terrence!¡± Beep¡­ The instruments on the side suddenly issued a sharp rm. The doctors¡¯ expressions changed. They nervously reported, ¡°The patient¡¯s heartbeat is starting to speed up, and her blood pressure is rising sharply¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s time.¡± Keyon was calm, and then he covered Alexa¡¯s eyes. A few minutester, the door to the operating room opened. The people outside the door immediately rushed over. Terrence directly went forward to stop the doctor. ¡°How is my wife? Is everything going well? Where is she?¡± The doctor in front of Terrence sighed regretfully. Then he said in a heavy voice, ¡°Mr. Ramsey, we have tried our best to save her.¡± After saying that, the nurses pushed the bed out. Seeing that the white cloth hadpletely covered the person on the bed, Brenton instantly rushed over. ¡°No¡­ Alexa! Alexa, don¡¯t y jokes with me¡­¡± Terrence stood stiffly to the side, never looking back at the bed. The crowd on the side was in a mess, but Terrence felt that the world was so silent. It was so quiet that he could even hear his own heartbeat. Brentonpletely lost his mind and madly rushed forward, punching at Terrence. Terrence did not dodge, and his expression did not change at all. ¡°Terrence, look at her! Why don¡¯t you look at her? Don¡¯t you dare?¡± Brenton¡¯s eyes were swollen, and there were even tears in his eyes. Brenton thought that Alexa was dead because of Terrence! ¡°You bastard! If it weren¡¯t for you, she wouldn¡¯t have been so weak!¡± Brenton roared hysterically. The hatred in Terrence¡¯s heart grew crazily. He raised his hand to wipe away the blood at the corner of his mouth. Then he sneered, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me about it before? Didn¡¯t she tell you everything?¡± ¡°Bastard!¡± Brenton cursed angrily and waved his hand to punch Terrence again. ¡°Enough!¡± Carissa shouted. She was choking. Then she said, ¡°Alexa is still here. Don¡¯t argue in front of her!¡± At this time, the nurse also brought a few documents. ¡°The family member can take her body away after signing the documents.¡± Hearing this, Terrence suddenly pushed Brenton away and looked firmly at the bed. ¡°I want to take her back.¡± However, Kieran timely stood in front of Terrence. ¡°Alexa is my legal wife. You are not qualified to take her away.¡± Terrence¡¯s gloomy face turned even darker. He stood in front of Kieran and didn¡¯t leave. Terrence had made up his mind. ¡°You can¡¯t stop me from taking away the person I love.¡± ¡°Alexa just died. Just let her rest in peace, okay?¡± Kieran¡¯s voice was low, but it instantly made Terrence heartbroken. Terrence took a few steps back and watched as Kieran left with Alexa. The moment they disappeared from his sight, Terrence¡¯s heart ached painfully. He staggered a few steps. ¡°Alexa¡­¡± Terrence murmured, but there was no response. Brenton walked towards Terrence with hatred. When he saw Terrence¡¯s lonely expression, he showed a vengeful grin. ¡°Terrence, for you, it doesn¡¯t matter what kind of person she is, right?¡± Brenton resisted the surging hatred with all his might. He tried to control himself. Brenton said in a low voice, ¡°Terrence, she probably hasn¡¯t told you yet. That child is yours.¡± ¡°What?¡± Terrence¡¯s voice was hoarse, and there was a hint of disbelief. ¡°What did you say?¡± ¡°But there¡¯s no point in saying all this now.¡± Brenton¡¯s face darkened. ¡°Terrence, you killed her with your own hands!¡± After saying that, Brenton stumbled out of the corridor. After Kieran took Alexa away, he immediately took her out of the hospital. When Terrence came to his senses, it was toote. ¡°Terrence!¡± David arrived. He helped Terrence up before Terrence fell. ¡°I already know what happened.¡± David frowned. ¡°The dead cannot be revived. Don¡¯t be so sad.¡± ¡°No! She is not dead!¡± Terrence suddenly roared. ¡°She is such a stubborn person. How can she die so easily?¡± ¡°Terrence¡­¡± David sighed helplessly and added, ¡°I can contact a forensic doctor.¡± ¡°No.¡± Terrence immediately refused. ¡°She¡­¡± Before he finished his words, Terrence¡¯s mind went nk before he fell down heavily. The whole city was in a mess that night. Terrencey in the sick room all night. But he woke up before six o¡¯clock. The moment he opened his eyes, Terrence subconsciously looked to his side. But there was no one. What happenedst night was like a dream to him. Terrence irritably pulled out the infusion tube and immediately went to the garage. He was about to start the car. David suddenly appeared. ¡°Where are you going?¡± ¡°I want to bring Alexa back.¡± David paused for a moment. He told Terrence directly, ¡°At four o¡¯clock today, the Powell family has already held a funeral at Powell¡¯s Cemetery.¡± ¡°I want to see her onest time¡­¡± Terrence said these words with difficulty, and his breathing became very heavy. ¡°There is still her luggage in Duckdale Vi, right? Go back and tidy it up. Don¡¯t throw it away. Remember that, David suggested. Terrence loosened the steering wheel desperately and followed David like a walking corpse. In Duckdale Vi. Things were as usual. The servants were doing what they were supposed to do. The cook was preparing food in the kitchen. Hry warmly weed Terrence. ¡°Mr. Ramsey. Mr. Cooper. Where¡¯s Mrs. Ramsey?¡± Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. Terrence¡¯s breathing stopped, and he walked into the living room in a heavy mood. David quietly gave Hry a look. Then Hry left. It was quiet in the living room. Terrence ran straight to Alexa¡¯s bedroom and locked the door the moment he entered. Good¡­ Everything here was the same as before. He aimlessly wandered around the room a few times, picked up the eyebrow brush that Alexa had used, and put it down¡­ However, Terrence was careless and knocked over the papers on the table. The papers fell, and Terrence quickly went to pick them up as if Alexa would immediately enter the room to scold him. Chapter 212 Chapter 212 Chapter 212 Can I Hug You Again? But she didn¡¯t show up¡­ When Terrence saw the contents of the manuscript, his movements suddenly stopped. Other than some exquisitely designed jewelry, the rest of the manuscripts were all about children¡¯s clothes Terrence picked up the manuscripts, his hands trembling. Alexa had been eager for the future, right? But what did Terrence do¡­ He kept using other women to irritate Alexa, forcing her to care about him Terrence even hurt the people she cared about in front of her Terrence felt his heart begin to ache again. He reached out his hand, but he could not catch anything Alexa would nevere back. And she would never forgive him. Terrence fell heavily onto the bed and stared nkly at the draft in his hand. He had suffered before, and he had almost died But Terrence never felt so desperate He raised his hand to wipe his cheek. There were tears ¡°Alexa, don¡¯t forget the way home Terrence whispered. ¡®I will definitelye to pick you up At the same time, someone knocked on the door excitedly. ¡°Terrence,e out!¡± Hearing Rebekah¡¯s voice, Terrence came to his senses. He put down the things and went out But as soon as he opened the door, Rebekah pped him. Terrence did not dodge, and a red mark immediately appeared on his face. Rebekah leaned on Jason. She was gasping in anger. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Terrence, how can I raise such an ungrateful person like you!¡± Terrence lowered his head silently and did not say anything. ¡°Did we tell you to take good care of Alexa? Why didn¡¯t you listen to us?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± Terrence said with difficulty. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the use of apologizing now? Do we need your apology?¡± Rebekah grew even angrier. Terrence stood silently in front of them. He was in a low mood. Jason¡¯s expression became even more terrifying. But in front of his wife, he tried his best to maintain his rationality. ¡°We have already gone to visit Alexa. You¡­¡± Jason let out a long sigh in disappointment, his heart aching as he said, ¡°When that child was aborted, we could see his shape Rebekah became angry again. She trembled as she pointed at Terrence, choking with sobs ¡°It was Alexa who saved your life. How can you forget it all?¡± Terrence was stunned. He suddenly held his forehead and leaned against the door in pain. Terrence, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Rebekah eximed in surprise. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Terrence continued to ask, ¡°When did Alexa save my life?¡± ¡°When you were 17 years old, you were attacked on an ind. The person who saved you was Alexa. We have figured it out.¡± Jason said it clearly, word by word. Terrence¡¯s mind went nk, and he fell down again. When he woke up at the hospital, David was standing by his bedside ¡°Terrence, I think it¡¯s necessary for you to do a memory check Terrence sat up with a headache. After a while, he said in a low voice ¡°Let Edwine to see me.¡± ¡°Terrence, do you still want to continue to investigate what happened in the past?¡± Terrence did not answer and kept silent. David did not say anything and immediately asked the nurse to prepare for the examination After the report came out, David came with a serious face. ¡°Terrence, the data is a little strange.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°For a normal person, it is impossible to forget things that are rted to life and death. But you can¡¯t remember it at all. The data testifies to my guess. Your memory has been tampered with.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°To tamper with the memories of certain matters, it must be done by a very skilled psychologist.¡± Terrence was about to recall when Edwin appeared at the right time. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Gavyn has confessed.¡± Edwin handed a stack of documents to Terrence and added, ¡°Brynlee bought a ticket to Mexico, but we stopped her.¡± Terrence looked through the documents, and his gaze became colder and colder. ¡°Check all the assets under their names and intercept them all.¡± ¡°Yes After Edwin left, David asked with interest. ¡°The Walton family wants to escape, right?¡± ¡°They won¡¯t seed,¡± Terrence said lightly and closed the document, ¡°Can the tampered memories be restored?¡± ¡°I can only try.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Terrence agreed. He wanted to get out of bed. ¡°Where are you going? You must have a good rest now.¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to see Alexa.¡± The ward instantly became silent. David did not stop Terrence. Looking at Terrence¡¯s lonely back, David felt that it was difficult to see through Terrence¡¯s heart. Terrence did not shed single tear for Alexa¡¯s death, but David could feel the sorrow in Terrence¡¯s heart that could not be released. From the city center to the Powell¡¯s Cemetery, it took a full half hour of drive. As soon as Terrence arrived at the entrance of the cemetery, it began to rain. He did not take an umbre. Under the guidance of the grave keeper, he found Alexa¡¯s grave. ¡°The grave of my wife, Alexa.¡± Terrence¡¯s heart seemed to have been crushed. He felt pain Alexa, who had been angry with him not long ago, was now lying alone on the ground. They couldn¡¯t see each other again¡­. Terrence ced his hand on the stone tablet. He couldn¡¯t believe it. ¡°What are you doing?¡± A shout came from not far away Terrence looked over in a daze and saw ra running over with an umbre She stood in front of Terrence with a face full of anger. *Alexa does not want to see you Please stay away from her, or I will call for security!¡± Terrence¡¯s vision gradually blurred by the rain. He stood firmly in front of the grave and said weakly for a long time. ¡°She is my wife ¡°Your wife? This world is not up to you to decide. If you miss some people, it¡¯s useless to regret it!¡± ra sneered. 7. ¡°Do you know how many times Alexa cried because of you? Do you know she almost went crazy because of the women by your side?¡± When seeing Terrence, ra really wanted to p him hard. However, Kieran coldly came to her side and handed an envelope to Terrence. ¡°She gave this to me personally on the day we got married.¡± Kieran added coldly, ¡°It¡¯s what she wanted to say to you.¡± Terrence couldn¡¯t wait to take it and hide it. He was afraid that it would be taken away. The siblings stared at him coldly, without any sympathy in their eyes. ¡°Please leave immediately. Alexa doesn¡¯t want you to disturb her,¡± Kieran ordered. Terrence pursed his thin lips andpromised. They were surprised. After returning to the car, Terrence¡¯s clothes werepletely soaked. But Terrence didn¡¯t care about it. He couldn¡¯t wait to take out the envelope and held it tightly in his arms. It was like he was holding Alexa in his arms. Chapter 213 Chapter 213 Chapter 213 Please Come to My Dream Terrence didn¡¯t want to read the letter in the car, so he had to concentrate on driving back. After arriving at Duckdale Vi, Terrence did not say a word and directly locked himself in Alexa¡¯s room. Terrence carefully opened the envelope and took out the letter. There were a few short lines of words written in the letter. ¡°Terrence. ¡°When you read this letter, I should no longer be in this world. ¡°I haven¡¯t been happy for the past three years, and I have forgotten many things. ¡°I often dream during this period of time. ¡°I dreamed that our child was a beautiful girl. ¡°However, she will also leave this world with me. ¡®I am very sorry to have kept it from you for so long. ¡°Goodbye.¡± When Terrence saw thest word, he did not realize that the letter was crumpled by his grip. Those only memories suddenly became like a sharp knife, stabbing into Terrence¡¯s heart. Terrence felt that he was already numb to the point that he could not even feel any pain. ¡°Alexa¡­¡± Terrence whispered sorrowfully. ¡°Why did you lie to me.. Thest line of defense in Terrence¡¯s heart also fell apart. The used things around Terrence almost suffocated him. Terrence thought, if I had known it earlier would there have been a glimmer of hope¡­. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m sorry,¡± Terrence murmured. Two hourster, Terrence finally came out of Alexa¡¯s room Rebekah immediately walked up to Terrence. Seeing Terrence¡¯s red eyes and pale face, Rebekah felt very worried Rebekah said, ¡°She¡¯s already gone. What¡¯s the point of torturing yourself now?¡± ¡®It¡¯s all my fault. If I had discovered her illness in time, she wouldn¡¯t have¡­¡± ¡°If you really want to atone for your sins, then investigate what happened back then properly. It¡¯s also what Alexa wanted.¡± After Terrence heard Rebekah¡¯s words, his eyes moved slightly. He soon had a n in mind. But that night, Kieran held a press conference. Facing the cameras and media, Kieran tried to restrain his emotions But when he spoke, he was slightly Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. choked ¡°I hope she knew that I loved her very much¡­¡± Terrence saw Kieran¡¯s speech on TV, and his face became more and more gloomy In the end, he tore off the wire madly. Then, Terrence immediately went out and drove away Half an hourter, Terrence strode directly into Royal Noble Club When Aron saw Terrence, the smile on his face immediately disappeared Terrence, did Alexa¡­¡± Aron asked carefully. Before Aron could finish his sentence, Terrence shot a sharp re at him. Aron immediately shut his mouth and silently took Terrence to the private room As soon as Terrence sat down, he began to drink wine Aron sat next to Terrence, neither stopping nor persuading him. ¡°Terrence¡­ You¡¯d better drink less. Aron said softly ¡°Otherwise, Ale Well it¡¯s not Arog immediately stopped talking and gulped down arge mouthful of ice water However, it was toote. Terrence¡¯s face was so gloomy, and it looked like he would explode in the next second. Aron sighed, ¡°Why did this happen to her¡­¡± Terrence said to Aron, ¡°You are well informed. Please lend me some of your people.¡± ¡°Terrence, you don¡¯t have to say that!¡± Aron patted his chest ¡°As long as you need my help, I will definitely do my best!¡± Terrence threw the bottle away casually and gulped down arge mouthful of ice water. Terrence thought, how can I forget that Alexa disliked me drinking the most? A momentter, a beautiful figure rushed in. ¡°Terrence!¡± Terrence heard Brynlee¡¯s voice, and a touch of disgust suddenly rose in his eyes. ¡°Terrence, I heard that you took my parents away. Really?¡± Brynlee asked so tactfully. She no longer dared to act like a spoiled child in front of Terrence like before. Now, Terrence was so cold, and he even shot a nce at Brynlee with killing intent in his eyes. ¡°How did you find this ce?¡± *I* Brynlee said guiltily I saw that your car was parked outside, so I came in Terrence kept an indifferent face He leaned on the gray seat and looked at Brynlee silently Brynlee¡¯s attire was obviously much inferior to before, and she no longer had her former arrogance and confidence Seeing that Terrence did not speak, Brynlee thought of something and took the initiative to speak ¡°I heard that¡­ Alexa passed away ¡°Get out!¡± Terrence suddenly became furious, and Brynlee was immediately frightened ¡°Terrence, I am just telling the truth¡± ¡°Get out!¡± Aron was afraid that Terrence would lose control, so he immediately found someone to take Brynlee away However, Terrence suddenly got up, pushed the door open, and walked out without looking back ¡°Terrence! Terrence, where are you going?¡± Aron hurriedly followed Terrence out. But Terrence had already opened the door of the driver¡¯s seat and got in the car ¡°Terrence, please say something! Aron immediately rushed up to stop Terrence ¡°Where are you going? I¡¯ll drive you there.¡± ¡°Go to Alexa¡¯s ce.¡± Aron knew that there was something hidden in Terrence¡¯s heart. He didn¡¯t dare to leave Terrence alone at this time. ¡°OK. I¡¯ll send you there.¡± Terrence sat in the back seat and felt a headache. Many things appeared in his mind chaotically. Terrence remembered Alexa¡¯s smile and her tears. He remembered the scene of him holding Alexa¡¯s hand and hugging her in his arms¡­ Many scenes squeezed into Terrence¡¯s brain one after another, giving him a splitting headache. ¡°Alexa¡­ Alexa¡­¡± Hearing the low voice from the back seat, Aron frowned and felt very worried. Aron sighed in his heart, if he had known it woulde to this, would he have acted differently? Not long after, Aron parked the car in front of an old vi. ¡°Terrence, we are at Alexa¡¯s home.¡± ¡°What?¡± Terrence instantly came back to his senses. He rolled down the window slowly. After Terrence saw the scene outside, the light in his eyes suddenly disappeared. It was the Duran¡¯s old house. ¡°Thank you.¡± After getting out of the car, Terrence impatiently pushed the door open and went into the vi Terrence bought this house a long time ago, but he rarely came here. At this time, the servants had already gotten off work. It was empty and quiet in this big house. Aron followed Terrence in and turned on the light. He was worried. Aron asked, ¡°Are you staying here tonight?¡± ¡°Let Edwin move my things over.¡± Terrence¡¯s voice was hoarse ¡°From now on, I will live here.¡± ¡°Alright. Alright.¡± Aron sighed helplessly. Then, he turned to leave silently. Terrence walked through every corner of the vi and finally stopped in front of Alexa¡¯s room. Terrence put his hand on the door handle and didn¡¯t open the door because he felt struggling in his heart Terrence stood straight in front of the door for a long time and finally went to the sofa. Terrence thought, Alexa must hate me very much. After all, I didn¡¯t even get the chance to see her before she died. But can shee to my dream? After all, I still have many things to say to her. Terrence sat there with a stoop for a long time. In the end, he fell asleep on the sofa. The next morning, Terrence was awakened by a burst of noise. Terrence thought it was the noise made by a servant. However, it turned out to be Brenton who came in. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Brenton shouted angrily and disgustedly. ¡°Get out!¡± ¡°This is my house,¡± Terrence exined unhurriedly. ¡°This is my home.¡± ¡°This is clearly Alexa¡¯s house. Since when has this be your house?¡± Chapter 214 Chapter 214 Chapter 2141 No Longer Have a Home Even though Brenton¡¯s tone was so aggressive, Terrence was still not angry Instead, Terrence took out a property ownership certificate from his coat pocket ¡°I have already bought this vi,¡± Terrence exined indifferently ¡°So, it¡¯s mine¡± Brenton thought, what¡¯s wrong with this man? Brenton nced at Terrence with disdain, not caring about the property ownership certificate in Terrence¡¯s hand at all. Terrence, you are really shameless,¡± Brenton said with a snort ¡°You indirectly caused Alexa¡¯s death, yet you still dare to live in her house shamelessly!¡± ¡°This is my home. Please leave,¡± Terrence said Brenton turned a deaf ear to Terrence¡¯s words. He went directly upstairs ¡°I¡¯m here to take Alexa¡¯s thing today. I don¡¯t want to waste my time with you,¡± Brenton said ¡°Get out!¡± Terrence immediately chased after Brenton But Brenton pushed Terrence away and strode into Alexa¡¯s room This room still looked like a young girl¡¯s room Judging from the variousmemorative photos and gifts in this room, this girl¡¯s family must love her very much. However, those things also reminded Brenton and Terrence that no one hade to this ce for a long time Brenton¡¯s eyes immediately softened, and he looked around with affection in his eyes. Terrence¡¯s eyes were bloodshot. He took a big step forward and blocked Brenton¡¯s way. ¡°You are not allowed to touch her things. Get out!¡± ¡°It was Alexa who asked me toe. She didn¡¯t want our memories to fall into your hands, so she asked me to take our things away.¡± Brenton said ¡°That¡¯s impossible!¡± Terrence said so coldly, but Brenton ignored him. Then, Brenton took out a photo album from the drawer beside him. ¡°Do you know how many times I¡¯ve been to her room? She didn¡¯t bring you here, right? Of course, I won¡¯t tell you about these things.¡± Brenton looked through the photo album and said to Terrence mockingly. Terrence clenched his hands and looked coldly at the photos in Brenton¡¯s hands. Every one of them was a photo of Alexa and Brenton. Alexa always smiled happily when she was beside Brenton ¡°I have never made her angry, nor would I try to hurt her,¡± Brenton said angrily. ¡°Terrence, you ruined all of this!¡± ¡°She should have been my woman.¡± Terrence¡¯s tone was firm. ¡°When the Duran family was in trouble, it was me who helped her. It was only right for her to repay me with her marriage.¡± ¡®Terrence, you bastard!¡± Brenton was instantly irritated and suddenly grabbed Terrence¡¯s cor. ¡°How did you hurt her? Tell me! I will make you pay double the price!¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Terrence said coldly. ¡°Then why would she choose Kieran, not you?¡± ¡°What do you know? You are just a bastard¡¯ You don¡¯t have the right to know that!¡± Brenton pushed Terrence away in anger, held the album in his arms, and rushed out of the room Terrence squatted down silently, intending to pick up the paper that had fallen to the ground However, just as Terrence reached out his hand, a sudden headache suddenly hit him Some fragmented memories swarmed over They were all about Alexa ¡°Thank you for saving me. What¡¯s your name?¡± ¡°Alexa.¡± The beautiful young girl drew strokes in Terrence¡¯s palm. Terrence seemed to be able to remember the numb feeling in his palm. ¡°I will remember you. I will definitelye to you again in the future¡± ¡°But I¡¯m going to a faraway ce. You don¡¯t have to look for me. Bye.¡± Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Alexa¡­¡± ¡°Terrence. Terrence?¡± When Terrence heard these calls, he immediately came back to his senses. Terrence suddenly woke up and found that he was indeed in the hospital now. David stood by Terrence¡¯s bed with a frown, writing down the medical record. David said, ¡°I applied for hospitalization for you. You should rest well in the hospital for a period of time.¡± Terrence looked at the ceiling nkly. David did not know if Terrence had heard him. ¡°David, I was wrong from the beginning.¡± ¡°I will contact the experts to think of a way,¡± David said seriously ¡°We will try to help you regain that memory as much as possible.¡± Terrence slowly closed his eyes and shook his head weakly There were some things that Terrence was already very clear about in his heart The person Terrence had been caring about would nevere back again That kind of regret and bitterness would never disappear for the rest of Terrence¡¯s life After the infusion, Terrence left the hospital When David anxiously brought people to the Ramsey family¡¯s cemetery to find Terrence, Terrence was sitting alone in front of a newly erected tomb, holding a cigarette that was quietly burning in his hand ¡°Terrence.¡± David called out to Terrence in a low voice, not knowing what to say next David dismissed the bodyguards behind him and squatted down beside Terrence ¡°Terrence,¡± David sighed ¡°Alexa has already left this world. This is a fact You will have to ept it sooner orter Terrence silently extinguished the cigarette Then, he said in a low voice, ¡°I know ¡°She must be very free right now and has obtained the happiness she has always wanted ¡°I understand¡­¡± Terrence lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the words on the tombstone ¡°But I still miss her very much. It¡¯s fine if shees back to hit me, scold me, or ask me to pay with my life But why is there no news of her at all?¡± Terrence¡¯s voice became more and more hoarse There was no firmness or calmness in his tone. David even felt like Terrence was sobbing ¡°We didn¡¯t even get the chance to say goodbye to each other She hated pain so much¡­ How painful was it when she died? I know nothing about that ¡°Terrence, the best constion for the deceased is to live well,¡± David said gently. ¡°As long as you don¡¯t forget her, she will always exist.¡± ¡°Alexa¡­ Alexa¡­¡± Terrence called Alexa¡¯s name again and again in front of the tomb. The moonlight shone down on Terrence and the tomb silently. It was not untilte at night that David apanied Terrence back to the hospital. In the hospital, they happened to meet Edwining to report. Tell me everything you know,¡± Terrence said to Edwin in a deep voice. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, we investigated ording to the information given by Gavyn. At that time, it was indeed Mrs. Ramsey who saved you. The first capital you had after returning to the country was also invested by Mrs. Ramsey.¡± Edwin was so cautious that he didn¡¯t dare to breathe heavily. ¡°But we can¡¯t find Mrs. Ramsey¡¯s family information. However, we can be sure that Caleb Duran and Evelyn Tillman are not Mrs. Ramsey¡¯s biological parents.¡± ¡°So, it is possible that her rtives are still alive, right?¡± A touch of liveliness finally appeared in Terrence¡¯s deathly still eyes. ¡°We can¡¯t rule out this possibility.¡± ¡°Find it out at all costs. We must find it out!¡± ¡°Yes, Mr. Ramsey!¡± Terrence seemed to have grasped a glimmer of hope. But this was only a small thing that he could do for Alexa. Alexa would nevere back. Terrence violently coughed a few times. In just a few days, he looked haggard as if he had aged ten years. Yesterday, the media was still trying to report Alexa¡¯s death. But the public opinions had been completely cleaned up by Terrence in less than a day. ¡°Alexa¡­¡± Terrence murmured. ¡°I won¡¯t let the rumors disturb you.¡± Terrence said in his heart, I will never forget you. Terrence stood alone by the window, looking at the bright lights outside. Terrence thought, the world is so big. But I no longer have a home. Chapter 215 Chapter 215 Chapter 215 Demarion Duran This time. Terrence did not go crazy. David found it strange However, Terrence did nothing more than tidy up Alexa¡¯s relics After staying in bed in the hospital for more than half a month, he left the hospital The results of the medical check-up showed that Terrence¡¯s memories had been restored, but he looked very calm. David wondered whether he remembered that memory or not All this, however, no longer mattered. The past would go with the wind Terrence seemed to have moved on from that memory and plunged into work Hudson Group advanced at an astonishing speed and became the top 500 in just one year. No one mentioned Alexa in front of Terrence again Perhaps time would smooth the scar Seasons changed In the blink of an eye, two years passed On a beautiful southern ind, a young woman in a vintage Tiffany blue dress was looking tenderly at a little boy, who was squatting in a sand pit and ying not far away ¡°Damar.¡± The woman called out in a clear low voice. The little boy, Damarion Duran, immediately threw away the toy in his hand, ran to her staggeringly, and threw himself into her arms. ¡°Your hands are dirty. I will wipe them for you.¡± ¡°Mom¡­¡± The little boy imitated the woman¡¯s tone and called out to her in a childish voice. His bright ck eyes were filled with curiosity. ¡°We should go back to have dinner. Grandpa, Grandma, and Uncle are waiting for us. ¡°Alexa.¡± Hearing the man¡¯s voice, she wrapped her arm around Damarion and looked in direction of the voice with a smile. Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Keyon.¡± Keyon was in a set of suits. It was obvious that he had just finished a business meeting. Seeing Keyon, Damarion was so excited that he babbled in Alexa¡¯s arms and waved his hand at Keyon, ¡°Damar,e here.¡± Keyon couldn¡¯t wait to pick up Damarion in his arms and nted a kiss on his delicate tender cheek. ¡®Damar has grown up a lot recently.¡± In the blink of an eye, he¡¯s already one and a half years old,¡± Alexa sighed with emotion. Then she naturally changed the topic. ¡°Keyon, how¡¯s the business meeting going?¡± ¡°Alexa, don¡¯t worry about me,¡± Keyon said, and his heart ached for her. ¡°But you¡­ How¡¯s your backache these days? Are your hands and feet still cold at night? You look like losing weight again. ¡°Much better.¡± Alexa nodded gently, but Keyon could not be at ease. ¡°After dinner, I will ask the doctor to check you out.¡± Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the three of them walked into the dining room of the vi. The two elders were already sitting at the dining table. Even though Keyon had exined the ins and outs of the matter to Alexa in detail, Alexa still had a barrier inside when facing her own parents. ¡°Dad, Mom.¡± Hearing Alexa¡¯s voice, Scott Duran immediately put down the newspaper in his hand and looked at Alexa kindly. ¡°Keyon, Alexa,e and take a seat Christina Fleming, who was by Scott¡¯s side, got up gracefully and tenderly took Damarion from Keyon¡¯s arms. ¡°Everyone is here, so we are ready for dinner. I specially asked the chef to cook the vegetable soup of Alexa¡¯s favorite.¡± Scott busied himself with serving the dishes. After serving Alexa a bowl of vegetable soup, he and Christinal went to have fun with Damarion. Alexa ate silently and inadvertently thought back to the past. After she recovered consciousness, Alexa found herself not in the operating room but on a private jet. Keyon and the two elders were Beside her. Back then, Keyon directly did a paternity test and confirmed that Scott and Christina were their biological parents. After that, Alexa and Keyon recognized their parents. In the blink of an eye, they had lived on this ind for two years. Scott operated a tradingpany. Although Alexa did not join, she knew that the strength of this company was powerful. Otherwise, how could this huge ice Floral Ind only belong to the Duran family? *Alexa, Damar is growing up gradually now. Your mother and are going to let you join the management of thepany What do you think?¡± Alexa¡¯s thoughts were immediately pulled back by Scott¡¯s words She thought for a while and said rationally ¡°Thank you, Dad. But I am far inferior to Keyon ¡°Hey!¡± Scott waved his hand cheerfully and said freely, ¡°Your mother and I have reached the age of retirement for a long time, and thepany was meant for you and Keyon ¡°Over these years, we have been looking for you.¡± Christina¡¯s eyes reddened in an instant ¡°Keyon, you and Alexa are the only thoughts we have had for this world¡± ¡°Everything is gone. Now we can finally reunite,¡± Keyon said in a low voice ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Christina smiled through tears and said delightedly. ¡°Now, we have Damar in our family What a happy thing!¡± Damarion had no idea what they were talking about and just ate the baby food in front of him From the expressions of her parents, Alexa could tell that they sincerely loved Damarion Thank you, Mom and Dad. I will do my best,¡± Alexa said firmly ¡°You still need to experience more, Scott said meaningfully Then he changed the topic ¡°Ourpany has a few business corporations to discuss in New York. Alexa, you go With Scott¡¯s words, the harmonious atmosphere instantly froze ¡°Dad, let me go,¡± Keyon said quickly. ¡°Alexa is still weak. She cannot overwork herself ¡°I¡¯ll assign someone to help Alexa. You have your business to do,¡± Scott said unhurriedly Seeing that Scott was so persistent, Alexa did not say much, and she did not retreat from it, either. ¡°Dad, no problem.¡± After saying that, Alexa gave Keyon a calm and firm look. Now, she hadpletely changed. The Alexa who was easily trampled on by others before had been dead. After dinner, Alexa went to have a walk with Christina and Damarion, and Keyon stood by Scott¡¯s side with a serious face. ¡°Dad¡­¡± Scott knew what Keyon was about to say, so he interrupted him. ¡°Keyon, I know what you are worried about. This is a good opportunity for Alexa to clean up the past.¡± ¡°Terrence will be very difficult to deal with,¡± Keyon remained ¡°That¡¯s why I asked Alexa to go.¡± Scott stood with his hands behind his back. ¡°We can take care of Alexa for a lifetime, but she can¡¯t live without means and experience.¡± ¡°Got it,¡± Keyon replied sullenly. One dayter, Alexa and Damarion took a private jet to New York. Alexa was very clear about what this meant. However, she would leave New York right afterpleting her job. As for Damarion, he was just weaned not long ago, and Alexa was reluctant to part with him. Damarion had been asleep quietly during the flight. After the jet slowlynded at the airport in New York, Alexa put on her sunsses, pushed the stroller, and walked toward the Rolls-Royce at the exit, with a cold proud expression. After they got in the car, a ck Aston Martin immediately followed closely. The driver quickly noticed that and reported to Alexa calmly. ¡°Ms. Duran, it is the Powell family¡¯s car behind us.¡± ¡°The Powell family¡­¡± Alexa muttered lightly. Suddenly, she ordered, ¡°Never mind. Let them follow.¡± Chapter 216 Chapter 216 Chapter 216 I Have Had an Abortion When Alexa saw Terrence, her heart jolted violently, but she calmed down quickly as if Terrence was a stranger. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Alexa came here with my husband. She is trying to approach him.¡± ¡°That¡¯s impossible. My wife couldn¡¯t like Kieran.¡± Terrence¡¯s emotions changed rapidly. He wished he could drive everyone out. Then, he could stay with Alexa alone. Terrence had been missing Alexa for two years. He wondered why she appeared there. Rita wanted to scream, but Terrence held her hand so tightly that she felt her bones were about to break. ¡°Apologize to my wife.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not my fault¡­¡± ¡°You have ndered her.¡± Terrence¡¯s voice became more and more frightful. Rita couldn¡¯t bear the pain and burst into tears. ¡°Let go of me¡¯ ¡°Apologize.¡± Alexa watched the scene with interest. She wondered what Terrence was going to do in front of her. Rita¡¯s cry attracted more and more people, but Kieran did not appear. ¡°Ms. Bailey, what needs to be rified is I have not approached your husband¡± Hearing the pleasant voice, Terrence was shocked and excited. He knew it was Alexa. ¡°Apologize,¡± Terrence repeated impatiently. Driven by fear, Rita managed to speak. ¡°I am¡­¡± Alexa ignored Rita and walked aside to answer the phone. After a few words, Alexa turned solemn and walked toward the door. Alexa was about to leave. Seeing that, Terrence let go of Rita and followed Alexa. Terrence asked, ¡°Alexa, why are you here?¡± Alexa said nothing, but her bodyguard stepped forward and stopped Terrence ¡°Sir, please step back ¡°Alexa * Terrence became agitated and even med Alexa angrily. ¡°You are not dead. Why have you lied to me?¡± Alexa did not pay attention to Terrence but called the vi. ¡°Yareli, how is Damar now? I aming back soon.¡± Alexa held her phone tightly and couldn¡¯t calm down. Damarion was born five weeks early, which made Alexa more worried. She hoped Damarion would be fine. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Alexa was about to cry. The medical treatment in the past few years made her emotional, and she could hardly breathe. When the driver stopped the car at the gate of the vi, Terrence¡¯s Maybach stopped there too Terrence saw Alexa run into the house anxiously, and his gloomy face was cold. Terrence was about to argue with Alexa, but Alexa ran out again with a child in her arms. Terrence followed Alexa without hesitation. He said solemnly, ¡°Give him to me¡± Alexa was at the point of copsing Seeing Terrence, she couldn¡¯t hold on any longer. ¡°Go away,¡± she roared. Damarion, who had a fever, burst into tears. ¡°Damar, don¡¯t cry Mom is here¡± Hearing Alexa call herself Mom, Terrence was stunned. Alexa carried Damarion into the car, and Terrence took the opportunity to get into it too Damarion kept crying, so Alexa had no time to pay attention to Terrence. Terrence saw the sweat on Alexa¡¯s forehead and gave her a handkerchief. Alexa didn¡¯t take the handkerchief She asked angrily. ¡°What are you going to do?¡± *Alexa. ¡± Terrence called her name but did not know what to say. Alexa, who had died, was sitting alive in front of Terrence. Terrence wanted to touch her, but he did not have the courage to do that Terrence knew Alexa must hate him ¡°Who is he?¡± Alexa said, ¡°It¡¯s none of your business Why did you follow me?¡± ¡°He has a fever.¡± Terrence looked at Damarion solemnly ¡°I¡¯ll go to the hospital with you ¡°It has nothing to do with you.¡± Alexa carried Damarion and tried to avoid Terrence, fearing he would do something like before. Terrence was silent for a while and remembered Alexa used to be pregnant However, her situation had been so critical that she might have had a miscarriage Terrence did not say anything but sent a message to Edwin. When they arrived at the hospital, the pediatrician was in the emergency room ¡°Doctor, please save my son. He has a fever Alexa¡¯s voice was trembling She had never been so afraid even when her life was at stake. ¡°Please fill out the information¡± The nurse handed a form to Terrence. Terrence didn¡¯te to his senses until Alexa took it away Terrence watched Alexa write ¡°Damarion Duran¡± in the name column. ¡°Wait here for a moment.¡± ¡°OK.¡± Terrence responded. The nurse followed the doctor to the treatment room. In the corridor, only Terrence and Alexa were left. Terrence looked at Alexa and could not help but want to hug her. However, Alexa ignored Terrence and sat on a chair nervously. Alexa looked tired, and Terrence stood in front of her. After a long time, Terrence tentatively asked, ¡°Is Damar my¡­¡± ¡°I have said he has nothing to do with you.¡± Alexa became excited. ¡°Terrence, I don¡¯t want to see you.¡± ¡°You haven¡¯t told me what happened back then.¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes became cold. ¡°When will you and Damar go back with me?¡± ¡°Go back with you?¡± Alexa forced a smile and looked at Terrence coldly. She sneered, ¡°Terrence, are you daydreaming? To be honest, you are not my son¡¯s father.¡± Terrence said coldly, ¡°Alexa, stop lying. I know you carried my child.¡± ¡°Yes, that¡¯s true.¡± Alexa nodded frankly and arrogantly brushed the hair beside her ear. ¡°I had an abortion.¡± ¡°What?¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes turned red. He stared at Alexa in disbelief. ¡°When did you have an abortion?¡± ¡°During the operation,¡± Alexa said coldly. She seemed to talk about something that had nothing to do with her. ¡°Alexa, how dare you?¡± ¡°Are you joking? Why don¡¯t I dare?¡± Alexa asked indifferently. Then, she said emotionally. ¡°After leaving New York, I married a businessman. He passed away before our child was born.¡± ¡°Alexa, you¡­¡± Terrence stopped abruptly and clenched his fists tightly. Alexa smiled disdainfully, ¡°Terrence, I didn¡¯te back because of you. To me, you are nothing at all. I¡¯m no longer the coward I used to be.¡± Chapter 217 Chapter 217 Chapter 217 His Name Is Damarion Duran ¡°Alexa,e back with me!¡± Alexa frowned impatiently. She said in a businesslike manner, ¡°I will transfer the money you invested into the Duran Group into your ount. Other than that, there is no need for us to meet.¡± ¡°You have to at least exin to me what happened back then ¡± ¡°Sorry, I have no obligation to exin it to you.¡± After Alexa finished speaking, the nurse came out with Damarion in her arms She quickly went forward to take Damarion and listened to the doctor¡¯s advice Terrence stood beside them, just like an outsider ¡°I¡¯ll go get the medicine for the child, Terrence said ¡°No need, my servant is downstairs.¡± Alexa refused coldly and left with Damarion without looking back. *His name is Damarion Duran?¡± Hearing Terrence¡¯s voice, Alexa felt a burst of anger ¡°He is my son. I can call him whatever I want.¡± ¡°I see ¡± Terrence nodded calmly. Alexa felt that she was really unlucky to have rushed into Terrence as soon as she returned. She hadn¡¯t seen Terrence in two years, and he had be so stubborn. ¡°Terrence, I have a lot of things to deal with. Please don¡¯t pester me.¡± Alexa restrained and politely said. Terrence, however, turned a deaf ear and kept his eyes on her. ¡°When did youe back?¡± Alexa carried Damarion and walked out,pletely ignoring him. ¡°We have to make things clear about what happened back then.¡± ¡°Make it clear, right? Please sign the divorce agreement as soon as possible.¡± Alexa suddenly stopped and nced at him nonchntly. ¡°Don¡¯t think about it.¡± Terrence¡¯s face immediately darkened. ¡°I won¡¯t sign it.¡± His tone was a little gloomy, and Damarion muttered a few times in Alexa¡¯s arms ufortably, as if he was about to cry ¡°Damar, don¡¯t be afraid.¡± Alexaforted him and red at Terrence angrily ¡°Stay away from mel Terrence did not reply but silently kept a distance from her. Alexa was like a fragile porcin doll to him, and Terrence did not dare to provoke her. ¡°As long as you are willing to go back, I can regard Damar as my own kid¡¯ Alexa was stunned. If Damarion wasn¡¯t in her arms, she would have pped Terrence ¡°Terrence, where did you get the courage to say such nonsense?¡± ¡°Alexa, what other conditions do you have? Just say it.¡± Seeing his arrogant face, Alexa felt sick. ¡°Damar and I don¡¯t need you to raise us. Besides, you are not worthy¡± ¡°Alexa, I am already very lenient to you,¡± Terrence said coldly. ¡°I have not pursued the matter of you escaping without me knowing.¡± ¡°Are you serious?¡± Alexa snorted arrogantly. ¡°Who do you think you are?¡± After saying that, Alexa didn¡¯t want to talk nonsense with Terrence and turned around to leave with Damarion in her arms Terrence was still reluctant to leave and was finally stopped when Alexa got in the car ¡°Sir, please leave,¡± the bodyguard said in a warning tone. The car in front of him slowly started and finally galloped away in front of him. There had never been anyone who dared to put on such airs in front of him. However, Terrence did not mind. At that moment, he was like a child who had received candy, so greedy that he wanted to obtain more sweetness. Since Alexa had returned, then this time, he would definitely not let go. After returning home, Alexa settled Damarion down before she went to wash up in exhaustion. Her cold body was soaked in hot water, but Alexa felt the coldnessing from her bone. Since she hade to New York, she would definitely meet Terrence. Alexa had long been mentally prepared. But Terrence was very different from before. Alexa thought about it and began to have a headache. She seemed to hear Damarion crying, so she immediately changed her clothes and went out. However, Damarion was still sleeping peacefully, and her breathing also stabilized. Alexa was a little relieved, and there was a smile on her face. *Ms Duran, I¡¯ve put the hot milk on the table You can drink some before you rest Yareli stood at the door, and Alexa walked over with a smile ¡°How is Damar?¡± ¡°His fever has already subsided. It should be fine After drinking the milk, Keyon called again ¡°Alexa, have you seen Terrence today?¡± Alexa looked out the window at the night scene, her eyes dull ¡°New York is so small. We will meet sooner orter ¡°I¡¯ll handle it for you¡± ¡°No need. I can handle it Alexa was firm ¡°If you need me, you have to tell me Do you hear me?¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Alexa responded The feeling of being doted on by her family was really blissful Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. Alexa stood on the balcony for a while before returning to her room to sleep beside Damarion Recently, it was the autumn rainy season again in New York As the rain continued to fall, the doorbell suddenly rang downstairs. The housekeeper immediately brought people over. When he saw that the person at the door was Terrence, he immediately became gloomy ¡°Mr. Ramsey, what¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°I want to see Alexa.¡± ¡°Ms. Duran has gone to sleep. Please go back.¡± ¡°Listen, I want to see Mrs. Ramsey.¡± Terrence corrected him word by word, and the housekeeper ignored him and went back in the blink of an eye. The next day, the rain stopped. It was the weekend, and Alexa wanted to take Damarion out for a walk and buy some clothes. Damarion knew that he was going out, so he seemed very happy andughed all the way. However, when Alexa saw the person standing at the door, her smile instantly froze on her face. ¡°Terrence?¡± He peered at them through a gap in the iron bars. Terrence¡¯s face had some stubble. ¡°Are you going out?¡± Terrence¡¯s voice was hoarse. Alexa immediately became alert and took two steps back with Damarion in her arms. ¡°Go away.¡± Damarion did not understand Alexa¡¯s worry at all and still kept reaching out to Terrence. In Damarion¡¯s eyes, Terrence was the same as Keyon. ¡°Hug¡­¡± Hearing Damarion babble, Terrence was moved and even smiled at Damarion. ¡°Terrence, what are you trying to do now?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been waiting for you here. Have you had breakfast yet? Shall we go together?¡± Terrence asked earnestly. Alexa frowned and was not moved at all. ¡°Damar, let¡¯s go.¡± Seeing that Terrence did not reach out his hand like his uncle, Damarion was a little unhappy. ¡°Hug¡­¡± Damarion shouted anxiously and expectantly. ¡°Hug¡­¡± Alexa felt helpless. It seemed that Damarion¡¯s enthusiasm for people was not a good thing. ¡°Damar,e here.¡± Terrence had been looking at Damarion, and his mood had be lighter. But Alexa did not want Damarion to speak with Terrence, so she quickened her pace and went to the garage. Terrence immediately drove to catch up with them, and he only felt some kind of emotion arising inside him. Chapter 218 Chapter 218 Chapter 218 What a Jerk He! Even though he stood in front of the vi all night, Terrence still felt full of energy now He thought, Damar is not annoying at all. He is even lovable instead Especially his smiling eyes, they were the spitting image of Alexa The more Terrence thought about it, the happier he became, and his upsets were instantly swept away Alexa parked the car in the garage of the shopping mall When she came out with Damarion, Terrence immediately caught up with them. ¡°Where are you going?¡± Terrence asked. Alexa ignored him and concentrated on holding Damarion. When they entered the shopping mall, the lively crowd instantly dispersed, leaving only the shopping guide on standby. At once, Alexa realized who arranged this Terrence curled his lips in satisfaction and pretended to be innocent ¡°Take your time, Damar¡± Hearing Terrence called out his name, Damarion moved up and down happily in Alexa¡¯s arms He wanted Terrence to hold him. ¡°Damar, don¡¯t move,¡± Alexa said discontentedly. ¡°Otherwise, the bad guys will take you away.¡± Terrence raised his eyebrows slightly and said thoughtfully. ¡°There will be no bad guys. I¡¯ve sent extra men to keep you safe.¡± Alexa was speechless. She did not know what Terrence was thinking. Alexa wondered, isn¡¯t he the worst guy here? ¡°If you need anything next time, just let me know.¡± ¡°Who do you think you are?¡± Alexa replied coldly. Terrence¡¯s enthusiasm was not extinguished, and he was even more excited instead. ¡°Your husband.¡± Alexa curled her lips in disdain and corrected in a cold voice. ¡°Ex-husband.¡± Terrence did not answer her but quietly moved closer to Damarion. ¡°Damar, are you hungry? I brought you snacks.¡± As soon as he finished speaking. Alexa retorted with a word. ¡°Don¡¯t give my kid those things to eat!¡± ¡°Okay.. ¡°Terrence gave in weakly Alexa strolled around several maternal and child shops and bought many things in total. The bodyguards on the side were all carrying big or small bags. Alexa had been holding Damarion for so long. Her arms could hardly support him. However, Damarion was clingy. He would cry if he left Alexa¡¯s arms a little. Moreover, Terrence was still here, so Alexa did not dare to take it lightly. Terrence had noticed earlier that Alexa tried hard to hold Damarion. ¡°What you bought is all for Damar. Go and take a look for yourself.¡± ¡°It¡¯s none of your business.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll carry him.¡± ¡°Terrence, what are you scheming again?¡± Alexa questioned with full hostility Terrence chuckled helplessly, but he was a little sad at the same time. ¡°I¡¯m not so bad as to do something to a child, am I?¡± ¡°Who knows¡­¡± Alexa muttered meaningfully. When she was in hesitation, Terrence had set his mind on Damarion ¡°Damar, Damar.¡± ¡°Uncle''¡± Damarion cheerfully addressed Terrence as his uncle. Terrence¡¯s eyes became gloomy slightly. He said implicitly, ¡°I am not your uncle.¡± Alexa was stunned as if she had been waiting for Terrence to reply. A momentter, she suddenly realized how humble she was to have such a reaction. Back then, when she and Brenton escaped, it was Terrence who caught her and pressed her to the operation table for an abortion Now he was pretending to curry favor with Damarion, but could the resentment from before be written off? Alexa¡¯s eyes suddenly became cold She held Damarion in her arms tightly and dodged to the side. ¡°Terrence, stay away from my son!¡± The bodyguards by her side immediately surrounded Terrence at the same time. However, Alexa did not give the order, and they did not attack Terrence either ¡°I¡¯ve started over. Please don¡¯t disturb my new life.¡± ¡°Alexa¡­¡± Terrence murmured her name wearily as if he had been hit hard in the heart Terrence, our rtionship was over a long time ago.¡± Damarion seemed to realize that they were quarreling and suddenly cried. Alexa immediately softened her tone and gentlyforted Damarion ¡°Damar, don¡¯t cry. I am not angry.¡± Terrence did not leave. Instead, he stepped forward and grabbed Alexa¡¯s wrist. Alexa subconsciously dodged. It was obvious that she recalled the fear from before ¡°Alexa, we need to talk.¡± ¡°Let go!¡± ¡°Talk to me,¡± Terrence still spoke gently and elegantly. Yareli heard the noise and hurried over, taking Damarion who was crying from Alexa¡¯s arms ¡°Mom!¡± Damarion cried so hard that he was out of breath. Alexa¡¯s heart was broken. ¡°Terrence, I told you to let go!¡± Alexa growled with tears in her eyes. ¡°Just five minutes,¡± he insisted. Alexa took a deep breath, held back her tears, and looked toward Damarion. ¡°Yareli, please take Damarion back now.¡± ¡°Ms. Duran¡­¡± Yareli called out with concern. She saw the confrontation between their bodyguards and Terrence¡¯s men. Yareli thought, everything was fine, but now it¡¯s like this again. What a jerk Mr. Ramsey is! Yareli red at Terrence anxiously and angrily and had to leave with Damarion first. Damarion¡¯s cries were getting farther and farther away. Alexa could not hold back her emotions anymore. Her tears dropped like a broken string of pearls, scattering all over the ground. ¡°Come with me.¡± Terrence took the opportunity to hold Alexa¡¯s hand and brought her into his car They sat in the back seats at the same time Alexa thought of the disgraceful things that Terrence had done to her here before, and her face instantly turned pale Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Terrence, if you dare.¡± Before Alexa finished speaking. Terrence had forcefully grabbed the back of her head and fiercely kissed her The long-lost ruthless breath swept over Alexa Alexa helplessly pushed Terrence¡¯s chest with her hand, but it was of no use In the end, she resolutely bit Terrence¡¯s lip, and the smell of blood instantly pervaded the air It was not until then that Terrence reluctantly let go of Alexa, looking like he was not satisfied yet Alexa¡¯s charming lips were tinged with a bit of blood, looking even more seduced Her hair was in a mess, and her eyes were misty She squinted at Terrence with grievance and hatred Alexa was not afraid. She raised her hand and pped Terrence loudly Immediately, a red p mark appeared on Terrence¡¯s left face ¡°Terrence, I am so sick of you!¡± Alexa said through her teeth Without even tidying up her clothes, she directly clutched her cor and got out of the car. Terrence pulled the bow tie in frustration and froze in the car for a long time. He did it wrong again. After Alexa got out of the car, she immediately sat in her car and went back Terrence did not follow her anymore, but Alexa¡¯s anger could not be quelled Alexa tidied up her clothes in the back seat, pretended that nothing had happened, and looked out of the window. Alexa¡¯s lips still faintly hurt, and she wiped them hard with the back of her hand. She felt depressed. She thought, Terrence went crazy! When the driver dropped her home, Alexa couldn¡¯t wait to run back to the living room. Yareli still held Damarion in her arms. Damarion had stopped crying. He was looking at Alexa with tears in his eyes. ¡°Mom.¡± When Alexa heard Damarion¡¯s childish voice, the grievance and displeasure in her heart instantly vanished. ¡°Thank you, Yareli¡¯ ¡°Ms. Duran, he didn¡¯t make things difficult for you, did he?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± Alexa said lightly. With Damarion in her arms, Alexa¡¯s restlessness immediately calmed down. Chapter 219 Chapter 219 Chapter 219 Won¡¯t You Talk Business With Me? Damarion was tired after ying for a day Alexa wanted to take a break, but many issues in thepany were waiting for her to deal with Aubrey called Alexa, telling her about the meal with the Hudson Group at night ¡°Hudson..¡± Alexa tapped the table casually and was lost in thought ¡°Ms. Duran?¡± Hearing Aubrey¡¯s voice, Alexa came to her senses ¡®Ms. Duran, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Nothing.¡± Alexa shook her head calmly and said nothing more about the dinner It was the first business since Alexa took over thepany She did not want to mess it up After arranging everything, Alexa walked to Damarion. There were still tears on Damarion¡¯s face When Alexa fixed her eyes on Damarion, she found he was like Terrence The affection in Alexa¡¯s eyes froze into ice She would not allow Terrence to hurt Damarion. Alexa stood up and picked a long red velvet dress. Then, she put on some make-up and left by car Alexa saw Terrence standing in the crowd when the car stopped at the hotel entrance. Her heart skipped a beat, and she tried to calm down and got out of the car peacefully. Terrence left the executives behind and walked towards Alexa. He blocked herpletely ¡°What are you wearing?¡± Terrence said in a low voice. Alexa looked up indifferently. She said, ¡°Excuse me, I¡¯m here to talk business.¡± ¡°Is this how you talk about business?¡± Terrence looked at her with interest and said meaningfully, ¡°Hadn¡¯t I taught you? Hadn¡¯t you learned that?¡± Alexa frowned and subconsciously took a step back. Terrence held Alexa¡¯s hand. He said, ¡°I¡¯ll teach you how to talk business with me.¡± Alexa could not refuse and was pushed into the passenger seat by Terrence Terrence found a piece of clothing from the trunk and threw it to her He said angrily, ¡°Put it on.¡± Alexa picked up the clothing and recognized it was the new product of Vision Group for the fall It seemed that Terrence always had apanion in his passenger seat Alexa smiled coldly, and her eyes were filled with disgust ¡°It has been worn by others I won¡¯t wear it¡± Terrence nced at Alexa emotionlessly ¡°It¡¯s new. No one has worn it¡± However, Alexa did not put the clothing on Her fair skin was exposed in front of Terrence Seeing that, Terrence pulled his tie and felt inexplicably restless ¡°Where are we going?¡± Terrence focused on driving and didn¡¯t answer Alexapressed her lips, and her eyes turned cold ¡°Terrence, my men are following me If you dare do anything to me, you know what will happen A momentter, Terrence stopped the car at a red light ¡°I haven¡¯t eaten anything since this morning.¡± he said in a deep voice Alexa was more dissatisfied when she remembered what had happened in the morning. ¡°Is there no food in the hotel?¡± she asked ¡°It¡¯s different Soon, Alexa was brought to Duckdale Vi by Terrence. There were no servants, but the lilies in the courtyard were elegant. ¡°In the past two years, I lived here alone¡± Terrence moved sideways to make way ¡°Come in.¡± After taking out some materials from the refrigerator, he went to the kitchen. ¡°How about stewed beef? Fish is also fresh¡± Alexa was not in the mood to discuss that with Terrence. She said solemnly, ¡°Let¡¯s sign the contract as soon as possible. Vision Group can offer three percent of profit Think about it ¡± This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Alright¡± Terrence agreed but said nothing more. Not long after, there came the sound of cooking from the kitchen Alexa sat on the sofa anxiously and fiddled with her phone. At that moment, Kieran called her Alexa went to the yard and answered the phone mysteriously ¡°Mr. Powell.¡± ¡°Alexa, I¡¯m sorry about what happened that day¡± ¡°It¡¯s OK. What¡¯s the matter?¡± Alexa asked patiently. ¡°Something important. Ms. Duran, I hope you can have dinner with me and allow me to apologize, Kieran said softly. ¡°Mr. Powell, don¡¯t stand on ceremony. Are you messing with me?¡± Alexa teased ¡°Where are you? I¡¯ll pick you up.¡± ¡°I¡¯m¡­¡± Before Alexa finished her words, the phone was taken away by someone behind her Terrence¡¯s smile was wicked. He took the phone and said possessively, ¡°My wife is with me.¡± Hearing Terrence¡¯s voice, Kieran was stunned. He said nothing more and hung up the phone. Terrence smiled proudly, looking like a winner Alexa blushed and snatched the phone. She red at Terrence. ¡°Why did you talk nonsense?¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t talked nonsense. Aren¡¯t you here with me?¡± Terrence pretended to be innocent. ¡°I¡¯m not your wife.¡± Terrence held Alexa¡¯s hand and pulled her into the house as if he hadn¡¯t heard her words. ¡°Time for dinner.¡± Terrence prepared a sumptuous meal of three dishes and a soup in twenty minutes. Alexa reluctantly sat down and began to talk about work again. ¡®Let¡¯s talk after dinner * Terrence interrupted Alexa and kept adding food to her te ¡°You don¡¯t have to do that.¡± ¡°I couldn¡¯t help to do so,¡± Terrence exined casually. Alexa didn¡¯t know what to say. She ate quietly, daring not to look up at Terrence. ¡°Is it delicious?¡± ¡°Just so-so,¡± Alexamented. ¡°Well, I¡¯ll have the chef cook next time.¡± ¡°There won¡¯t be next time.¡± ¡°Won¡¯t you talk business with me?¡± Terrence made Alexa speechless. Alexa ate indignantly and organized her words in her mind for the next round of negotiation ¡°Our maximum concession is five percent. ¡°Give me the contract, and I will sign it.¡± Alexa wondered whether Terrence knew how to do business Alexa looked at Terrence as if he was a monster, but she did not trust Terrence easily ¡°If you sign the contract, you can¡¯t go back on your word. Do you need to think about it?¡± ¡°Are you free tomorrow?¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go to visit Damar¡¯s kindergarten. I have chosen one,¡± Terrence said calmly. ¡°Damar is my son. Why are you concerned about him?¡± Alexa said warily with displeasure. ¡°Can¡¯t I be concerned about your son?¡± ¡°No.¡± The unharmonious atmosphere became tense. Alexa put down the fork and picked up her handbag to leave. Terrence signed the contract and handed it to Alexa. ¡°Think about it. You can call me any time,¡± Terrence said as if he was pleading with Alexa. Chapter 220 Chapter 220 Chapter 220 You Meen Nothing to Me ¡°No need to think about it I can reply right now¡± Alexa said with a cold face and turned around with disdain ¡°You don¡¯t need to be concerned about my son and me¡± ¡°Alexa, I just want to Alexa sneered, ¡°What do you want to do? Do you want to bribe me? Do you want Damar to treat you as his father?¡± Terrencepressed his lips and couldn¡¯t say anything ¡°You¡¯d better stop daydreaming ¡°Alexa, I was wrong in the past Would you please give me a chance to restart?¡± ¡°Why should I give you a chance? Do you think I am a phnthropist? ¡°I have known Brynlee had hurt you She deserves to be punished ¡°Really? Won¡¯t you feel sorry for her?¡± ¡°Alexa¡¯ Terrence was solemn Alexa did not want to continue talking nonsense with Terrence and walked out the door coldly Suddenly, she felt a dull pain in her lower abdomen Alexa¡¯s face turned pale. She had to bend down to ease the pain However, Alexa was in high heels She stubbornly stood straight and moved a few steps Finally, she lost her bnce and held the door frame. Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Alexa? What¡¯s wrong?¡± Terrence ran to her and carried her up. He did not mind the dispute and strode to the garage with Alexa in his arms. ¡°I¡¯m fine. Put me down.¡± Remembering Alexa¡¯s illness, Terrence became nervous. ¡°I¡¯ll take you to the hospital.¡± ¡°I¡¯m just on my period.¡± Each time Alexa spoke, her lower abdomen felt a sharp pain. She subconsciously grabbed Terrence¡¯s cor, and sweat glistened on her forehead ¡°Put me down. I need a rest instead of going to the hospital,¡± Alexa said. Terrence knew Alexa hated going to the hospital, so he carried her back to the room. Lying in the soft gray bedding, Alexa became sober and tried to get off the bed. ¡°Lie down and don¡¯t move.¡± ¡°My skirt is dirty. I am afraid¡­¡± ¡°Lie down.¡± After saying that, Terrence turned around and left. Before long, he brought a female robe. Alexa recognized the robe. It was hers. Terrence said, ¡°Change your clothes first. Sanitary pad is in the bathroom.¡± Alexa went to the bathroom immediately. When she came out, Terrence came in with a cup of water ¡°Have some water¡± ¡°Thank you. ¡°I¡¯ve called a doctor over Don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°I have to go back. Damarion is waiting for me,¡± Alexa said in a daze. Terrence said nothing and sat down by the bed. He reached into the quilt to hold Alexa¡¯s feet. ¡°They will be here soon. Terrence did not lie to Alexa. A kind doctor came with her team shortly afterward. The doctor treated Alexa. ¡°Do you have any children?¡± ¡°Yes. My son is one and a half years old * ¡°Do you have any sequ?¡± ¡°I had a massive hemorrhage when I gave birth to my son. After that, I had a backache and always felt cold¡± Terrence listened and felt sorry for Alexa. When Alexa was in trouble, he was not by her side and could not share her pain. The doctor made out a prescription and handed it to Terrence. Then, she began to scold Terrence. Terrence nodded as if he was a student who had made a mistake. After Terrence saw the doctor off, Alexa leaned on the bed and breathed unevenly. Terrence took off his coat and threw it away. He seemed to be agitated. Realizing Terrence was about to get on the bed, Alexa became vignt and afraid. ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°Alexa, how did you survive in the past two years?¡± ¡°Kept breathing.¡± Terrence ignored Alexa¡¯s indifference and frowned ¡°What are you hiding from me?¡± ¡°It has nothing to do with you¡± ¡°Alexa.¡± Terrence lowered his voice. Alexa threw back the covers and wanted to get out of bed again. Terrence hugged Alexa and easily held her back to where she was ¡°Just stay here and don¡¯t leave.¡± ¡°Terrence, let me go.¡± Alexa curled up, and her voice trembled in pain. Terrence did not do what Alexa said. His hands kept fondling her back and finally massaged her waist. ¡°Don¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°Do you feel better?¡± Terrence¡¯s deep and gentle voice made Alexa fascinating. She was enduring great pain, but she greedily needed more affection. ¡°Has Kieran done this to you?¡± Terrence did not know why he said that. It might be because of jealousy or possessiveness. Terrence felt ufortable at the thought that Kieran could be kind to Alexa. Knowing Terrence¡¯s thoughts, Alexa was no longer in ecstasies and came to her senses. ¡°How could he have not? He knows my body better than myself,¡± Alexa said. Hearing that, Terrence was stunned. He remained unmoved for a long time. Alexa smiled and was pleased with her revenge. Terrence said childishly, ¡°Ms Bailey is by his side. Youe backte.¡± ¡°So what? He loves me,¡± Alexa retorted. Terrence withdrew his hands. Alexa was not curious about his feelings. ¡°it¡¯ste. I have to go.¡± Alexa threw back the covers and got out of bed. Aubrey was waiting outside with Alexa¡¯s clothes ¡°Can¡¯t you forget Kieran?¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, what you said is funny. Kieran is my husband. Why should I forget him?¡± Terrence¡¯s expression was delicate. He felt frustrated but could only say peacefully, ¡°What do I mean to you?¡± ¡°Well, nothing¡± After Alexa said that, she turned around painfully and put a few one-hundred-dor bills on the table ¡°Thank you, and goodbye.¡± Alexa walked out of the vi without looking back She changed into a different person soon. Terrence looked at the bills and wanted tough and weep all at once. After Alexa got into the car, Aubrey cautiously paid attention to Alexa¡¯s emotions. Aubrey said tentatively, ¡°Ms. Duran?¡± Alexa said peacefully, ¡°The contract has been signed. The cooperation with the Hudson Group will be carried out as usual.¡± Aubrey nodded and dared not ask anymore. She wondered why Alexa was in a robe and negotiated with Terrence in his vi instead of the hotel. Aubrey had a bold idea but dared not say it. However, Alexa smoothed her hair expressionlessly and did not take the matter seriously. Chapter 221 Chapter 221 Chapter 221 A Meeting ¡°What¡¯s tomorrow¡¯s schedule? Get branch managers to give me thest quarter¡¯s financial reports. Oh, there¡¯s also an afternoon dinner party. Prepare a gift.¡± Alexa was like a constantly revolving snail, rushing about for work at every moment. ¡°Ms. Duran, it¡¯s gettingte. You should rest early today. After all, your health¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine. I just need to take two painkillers.¡± Alexa shook her head calmly. ¡°You won¡¯t be able to take it if this goes on. No matter how busy you are at work, your healthes first.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± She was still calm. When she got home, Damarion had already fallen asleep, and only Yareli was waiting for her ¡°Ms. Duran, there is some soup in the kitchen. I¡¯ll get it for you.¡± ¡°Thank you, Yareli,¡± Alexa said softly, and a hint of exhaustion appeared on her face. ¡°Is everything okay?¡± ¡°Damar insisted that I take him out to find you He finally got tired of ying and fell asleep not long ago. ¡°Thank you, Yareli.¡± Alexa drank a little soup and began to work again. Yareli knew Alexa was exhausted and was also distressed at that moment ¡°Ms. Duran, please leave your work for tomorrow.¡± ¡°Yareli, I¡¯m fine. I¡¯m not sleepy anyway.¡± Alexa was not a robot, so how could she not be sleepy? Yareli sighed silently and watched Alexa from the side Not long after, Alexa changed her clothes and hurried to the door. ¡°Ms. Duran?¡± ¡°Yareli, I have something to deal with at thepany. Before Ie back, please take care of Damar,¡± Alexa instructed ¡°Ms. Duran¡­ You should get some rest,¡± Yareli said, her eyes red. At one o¡¯clock in the morning, the office of the President of Vision Group was brightly lit. Alexa sat in front of theputer, taking care of the affairs. Her brother did not take care of Vision Group, so the task of managing thepany naturally became her responsibility Alexa did not dare to ck off at all, staring at theputer screen. Not long after, a figure appeared outside the door. Hearing the knock on the door, Alexa thought that it was the financial director. ¡°Come in. Seamus, is the data okay?¡± Alexa asked. She still stared at theputer screen. ¡°Ms. Duran.¡± Hearing this familiar voice, Alexa immediately looked up in surprise. ¡°Terrence?¡± She whispered. ¡°Why are you here? Who allows you toe up?¡± Terrence calmly put the lunch box on the table. ¡°I was just passing by.¡± ¡°Hurry up and leave. If someone else sees¡­ Alexa urged. ¡°See what? See your husband?¡± he sat down on the sofa and said, ¡°I made some soup¡± Alexa was not in the mood to argue with him now, so she could only helplessly hold her forehead. ¡°Terrence, can you not cause trouble for me?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t cause trouble for you.¡± He spoke very seriously, but it made Alexa¡¯s icy attitude immediately soften ¡°What are you doing here? I¡¯m very busy.¡± ¡°Have a rest. I¡¯ll do it.¡± After saying that, Terrence took off his suit jacket and put it aside, walking briskly toward her ¡°Don¡¯t joke around.¡± Alexa¡¯s face was pale, and her constantly painful abdomen made it impossible for her to concentrate on talking to Terrence. Terrence picked her up and carried her to the lounge. After putting Alexa on the bed, he slowly turned and left. ¡°Terrence¡­¡± ¡°I will be back soon.¡± After saying that, Terrence walked to her desk and sat down, meticulously handling the affairs He had been through a lot in business, and these things were a piece of cake to him. When the finance department head came to report, he was shocked by the person in the seat. ¡°Mr Ramsey?¡± ¡°I am Ms. Duran¡¯s husband,¡± Terrence said clearly and orderly. ¡®Husband Seamus stuttered as if his tongue was tied, unable toplete a sentence. ¡°Is there a problem?¡± ¡°No, no, no problem!¡± Seamus thought of it quickly, and he immediately knew that he seemed to have discovered something incredible. Terrence flipped through the report. Just as Seamus stood there until his soles were numb, Terrence asked him a question. ¡°Have there been any other mening to harass her recently?¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± Seamus racked his brains for a long time. His forehead was covered with sweat ¡°Of course not!¡± Seamusughed awkwardly There was no joy or anger on Terrence¡¯s face, and he just casually looked away Seamus couldn¡¯t wait to leave. He didn¡¯t expect to bump into Kieran who wasing towards him. ¡°Mr. Powell.¡± *Seamus.¡± Kieran nodded politely. ¡°Is Alexa in there?¡± ¡°Mr. Powell, actually¡­¡± Seamus looked troubled, not knowing what to say. What the hell was this? Was this a meeting between the ex-husband and the current boyfriend? However, before Seamus could finish speaking, Kieran had already pushed the door open and entered, just in time to meet Terrence¡¯s deep gaze. The atmosphere instantly became awkward and terrifying. Terrence looked at Kieran, his eyes cold. Kieran was not afraid of Terrence and confronted him with a cold face. ¡®Why are you here? Where is Alexa?¡± Kieran asked coldly. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Kieran, it seems that you are still not clear about your position.¡± ¡°Where is Alexa?¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes turned cold, and he leaned on the chair casually. He nced at Kieran with disdain. At that moment, the door of the lounge gently opened and a thin figure slowly walked out. ¡°What happened? What are you doing?¡± Alexa asked weakly. ¡°Nothing,¡± Terrence said calmly. ¡°Mr. Powell should have gone to the wrong ce, right?¡± Alexa was speechless. Terrence was indeed strong enough to tell lies without a change in expression. A gentle smile immediately appeared on Alexa¡¯s face. What is it? Terrence stared straight at her, silently hiding his displeasure. I know you are not feeling well these days, so I came to send you somemedicine.I¡¯m fine. Alexis smiled sweetly and seemed to be tender.We can talk about it tomorrow.Why are you here so? Late.It¡¯s fine.I¡¯m free anyway.Why aren¡¯t you leaving yet? Terrence¡¯s angry voice suddenly sounded.Are you waiting for me to drive you? Alexa frowned and gave Terrence a look. However, Terence was now like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.He was furious. Kieran, you go back first?I will send you off.I will go to Chapter 222 Chapter 222 Chapter 222 No Obligation Hearing Terrence¡¯s words, Alexa and Kieran fell silent. Both of their faces looked a little strange, but Terrence did not feel anything wrong ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Terrence said. ¡°Alexa, you don¡¯t have to send me off. I¡¯ll go to the hospital. You should go back and rest early,¡± Kieran said softly. ¡°Okay, be careful on the way.¡± Terrence silently took a few steps closer and stared at the two of them. After Kieran left, the smile on Alexa¡¯s face immediately disappeared ¡°Terrence, what are you doing?¡± Alexa asked in a low voice. Terrence raised his hand and pointed at the documents on the table. He still looked cold ¡°It¡¯s done. Let¡¯s go home.¡± The first thing Alexa did was not to think about the words ¡°go home¡±, but to pick up the documents impatiently. Terrence unexpectedly finished the work that she could not finish overnight. He stood at the side in a calm andposed manner. There seemed to be a hint of a smile in his calm eyes. ¡°Are you done? Let¡¯s go. ¡°I¡¯ll drive back by myself¡± ¡°It¡¯s not safe,¡± Terrence tly refused. Alexa was just about to exin when Terrence seized the opportunity to grab her hand and took her into the elevator. The cab was slowly running, and Alexa bit her lips. She was upset. Terrence stood beside her. His powerful aura made her unable to ignore him. Alexa was so nervous that she didn¡¯t dare to look up. It was only when the elevator made a sound that she walked out of the door and heaved a breath. ¡°Are you hungry?¡± ¡°No.¡± Alexa replied straightforwardly. ¡°The soup is already cold. I¡¯ll heat it up for you when I go back.¡± Go back? Alexa subconsciously pursed her lips Terrence drove the car absorbedly The dim yellow light cast a few shadows on the side of his face, making him seem more noble and distant Alexa sneaked a nce at him, and Terrence stared ahead as if he had not noticed her movements She did not think clearly. He was the President of Hudson Group and had all kinds of women around him What exactly was he trying to do with her? However, Terrence quickly saw through Alexa¡¯s thoughts. ¡°Are you peeking at me?¡± Terrence asked without changing his expression ¡°I didn¡¯t.¡± ¡°Why are you looking at me?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t look at you.¡± ¡°I feel like I¡¯m being looked at by you. He was so childish. Alexa had nothing to say, so she had to acquiesce ¡°Mom and Dad wille to New York next week Terrence said this appropriately, and he didn¡¯t have to exin it Alexa¡¯s eyes flickered as she understood what Terrence wanted to do She looked out the window, and her eyes gradually became cold. Too much had happened on this trip to New York. ¡°Does your stomach hurt again?¡± Terrence¡¯s voice instantly pulled her back to reality. ¡°It¡¯s okay,¡± Alexa said coldly. Terrence pursed his thin lips, and his expression was very serious. When he sent Alexa home, it was already three o¡¯clock in the morning. Alexa immediately pushed the door open and got out of the car. She seemed afraid of being seen and kept her distance from him silently. ¡°Thank you,¡± Alexa said politely. Terrerice looked at her through the window, his face revealing a faint cunning. ¡°It¡¯s already sote. If I go back now, it will be morning.¡± ¡°You can find a hotel nearby ¡°I don¡¯t like those ces¡± Terrence refused immediately and stared at her with his zing eyes. ¡°Then you can¡­¡± Without waiting for Alexa to finish speaking, Terrence quickly pushed open the door and got out of the car, standing in front of her. ¡°Do you have any extra rooms in your house? I can reluctantly stay for a night ¡± Alexa snorted and immediately turned around. ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it ¡± Terrence did not leave but followed closely behind her. Alexa sensed it and chose to acquiesce for the first time It was just one night. She would ask him to leave tomorrow, and there would be no contact between them. ¡°If you don¡¯t want the servants to see me, then I can stay silent.¡± He was dressed in a suit, and his aura was cold and proud as he followed behind her and said such words. The expression on Alexa¡¯s face was cold. ¡°Just one night. You can leave at dawn tomorrow morning. I don¡¯t want my son to see you,¡± Alexa said. ¡°Okay,¡± Terrence readily agreed. Fortunately, the servants were already off work now, so Alexa didn¡¯t have to worry about others discovering them But after entering the door, Terrence felt as if he had returned to his own home, and he looked like the host more than she did. ¡°Where do I live?¡± ¡°The second room, at the corner of the second floor. It¡¯s a guest room.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Terrence did not leave immediately. Instead, he watched Alexa eat the medicine Kieran gave her. ¡°Have you been taking medicine all this time?¡± This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°It has nothing to do with you.¡± Alexa didn¡¯t want to answer him. They had once argued over the matter of ¡°medicine¡±, so Terrence did not want to make her angry anymore. Alexa walked past him, but Terrence subconsciously grabbed her wrist. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Alexa was a little displeased. ¡°I will go to the hospital with you tomorrow, okay?¡± Terrence¡¯s tone was full of pleading ¡°No¡± Alexa frowned and impatiently shook off his hand ¡°Ms Duran?¡± Hearing Yareli¡¯s voice, Alexa immediately retracted her hand and looked at the stairs with uncertainty Terrence calmly stood still and did not feel embarrassed at all ¡°Damarion is already asleep¡± ¡°Okay, Yareli, thank you¡± ¡°Ms. Duran, you should rest early too¡± When Yareli went downstairs, her probing gaze had been focusing on Terrence the entire time However, his expression did not change at all Instead, he nodded politely ¡°Hello, Yareli.¡± However, Yareli did not give him a look. She did not even reply before she turned around and left Alexa¡¯s face was burning as if she had been caught stealing ¡°Why aren¡¯t you talking¡± Terrence teased, ¡°Does Ms Duran think that we are now in a shady rtionship?* ¡°I don¡¯t understand what you are talking about!¡± Alexa replied in a low voice and quickly went upstairs. Terrence also followed her and reluctantly entered the guest room. He was Alexa¡¯s legitimate husband, and now he wanted to live in the guest room! Terrence casually opened the wardrobe, and there was a row of men¡¯s shirts hanging in a neat row inside. and there were even other men¡¯s clothes. He tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and it suddenly surged up. ¡°Alexa!¡± Hearing his voice, Alexa came over from the next room, puzzled. What¡¯s up? Hush. My son is sleeping. What is this? Terrence grabbed a few shirts with a livid face and red at her and gritted his teeth. Why are there men¡¯s clothes in here? Did Kierane here before, or did Brendane? Or did other men? Alexis silently stroked her hair. She exined patiently. This is my brother¡¯s room, but he hasn¡¯te yet. Hearing this, Terence immediately walked to the door.I¡¯m not sleeping here.I want to change to another room. Alexa hurriedly followed him and grabbed his sleeve in a panic. Terrence make it clear that I have. No obligation to take you in. If you can¡¯t ept it, you can leave now.I won¡¯t go. After Terrence finished speaking, he picked her up and slowly walked to her room. Chapter 223 Chapter 223 Chapter 223 They Are Obviously Targeting Us As Damarion was asleep, Alexa didn¡¯t dare to shout out and had to beat Terrence¡¯s chest with all her might. ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Terrence directly pressed Alexa to the bed with pride. ¡°Shh.¡± Terrence gracefully raised his index finger. Then he said with a sly smile, ¡°Damar¡¯s asleep. Be quiet.¡± In the crib on the side, Damarion was sleeping peacefully. In order not to wake her son up, Alexa had to keep quiet. Terrence hugged her. Their breaths were so close ¡°Get some sleep.¡± The night passed by. Soon, it was dawn. Alexa was awakened by her biological clock on time. She had only slept for three hours, and now she had a terrible headache. The person beside her was gone, and Damarion was still asleep. Alexa finished freshening up sleepily and then went to the living room. However, it was not the chef who was busy in the kitchen, but Terrence. When he saw Alexa, he revealed a gentle smile. ¡°Why don¡¯t you sleep for a while longer? You didn¡¯t sleep wellst night.¡± Alexa was stunned for a while. She asked, ¡°Why are you still here?¡± ¡°Today is Saturday.¡± That was not an answer Alexa anticipated, so she had to shut up. Not long after, Terrence swiftly put the breakfast on the table. ¡°You can eat it now.¡± Terrence said, ¡°When Damar is up, I¡¯ll make some for him.¡± ¡°Damar¡¯s meals have been prepared by a professional nutritionist,¡± Alexa said lightly. Instantly. Terrence felt awkward. He sat at the dining table and watched Alexa eat the food on the te. ¡°My cooking has improved, right?¡± ¡®Yes¡¯ Even though Alexa only gave a simple response, Terrence was so proud of himself. He was just about to say something else when Alexa suddenly put down the fork and went upstairs. She had heard a subtle cry. When Terrence came upstairs, Alexa was changing Damarion¡¯s clothes. When Damarion saw Terrence, he opened his arms and giggled ¡°Damar, behave yourself.¡± Alexa deliberately lowered her voice. However, her secret deterrence worked little on Damarion, and he was still struggling in her arms. Changing the child would only take three minutes, but Alexa had spent a lot of time. Seeing that, Terrence silently stepped forward and carefully held Damarion. Although Alexa felt a little ufortable at Terrence¡¯s sudden move, she did not say anything as the child was there In Terrence¡¯s arms, Damarion finally became much more obedient. Alexa¡¯s eyes narrowed. She taught Terrence how to hold the child though she felt ufortable. Apart from carrying Damarion in his arms, Terrence had never been this nervous before. This little fellow was soft and delicate. He even carried a sweet milk fragrance Terrence was so careful with his movements. Not long after, Damarion began to struggle in Terrence¡¯s arms, his small hands clutching Terrence¡¯s cor. Alexa was afraid that Terrence would be angry. She hurriedly said, ¡°Let me hold him. Damar is very naughty. He might mess up your clothes. But soon, it turned out that Alexa¡¯s worry was unnecessary. Terrence was not angry at all. Instead, his eyes were even softer. ¡°Damar is very cute,¡± he said happily. ¡°Both his eyebrows and eyes are like yours, and he is so good- looking.¡± Alexa was stunned by his remarks for a long time. Damarion had not noticed that the atmosphere became weird. He kept ying with Terrence¡¯s cor. Alexa¡¯s face turned cold. Then she took Damarion back without saying a word. ¡°I gave birth to him Of course, he looks like me.¡± Terrence noticed the change in Alexa¡¯s mood, but he didn¡¯t know what he had done wrong. Damarion muttered in Alexa¡¯s arms again At this time, Terrence¡¯s phone rang. He quickly went out to answer the phone, but Damarion cried out as soon as Terrence left ¡°Damar, don¡¯t cry. Mommy¡¯s here,¡± Alexaforted the baby. But Damarion did not listen to her. It was not until Terrence returned that Damarion finally stopped crying. He looked at Terrence with tearful eyes, looking extremely pitiful. ¡°What happened to Damar?¡± Terrence asked. ¡°Nothing,¡± Alexa said calmly. ¡°I guess he thought of his dead father.¡± In an instant, Terrence¡¯s look changed dramatically. ¡°I got something to do at thepany. I have to go now.¡± ¡°See yourself out,¡± Alexa said without looking up. ¡°See you.¡± ¡®Don¡¯t have to ¡± Edwin, who was waiting at the door, saw Terrence walk out of Alexa¡¯s apartment with his clothes in a mess. Edwin was so confused This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Mr. Ramsey¡­ Edwin ventured to ask, ¡°What happened?¡± Terrence seemed to be in a good mood. He said proudly, ¡°Alexa¡¯s son did it.¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, I haven¡¯t found any information about the father of the child.¡± ¡°He¡¯s dead. Why bother to check him out?¡± When Terrence said that, his deep eyes were filled with excitement. It seemed that he would soon be promoted. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, could it be that child from back then?¡± ¡°No.¡± Terrence was very certain. ¡°She wouldn¡¯t lie to me.¡± Edwin sighed in his heart. He really did not know what to say. If Alexa would not lie to Mr. Ramsey, how could she leave him without saying goodbye and be gone for two years? Twenty minutester, Terrence arrived at Hudson Group. At work, he resumed his grim look, and his vibe was so powerful that it made people consciously submit to him Arge group of managers followed behind him, reporting the situation with terror. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Vision Group has already taken five orders from us this month.¡± ¡°Not only that, many customers who have worked with us for many years have also turned to Vision Group.¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, this Vision Group suddenly came to New York and caused us so much trouble. They are obviously targeting us!¡± As Terrence listened silently, a faint smile appeared on his cold face. He seemed pleased. ¡°Never mind,¡± Terrence said softly. ¡°Let it be.¡± Huh. Everyone was dumbfounded. Mr Ramsey ispromising. But, Mr Ramsey, if this continues. Edwin, go check on the schedule of the President of Vision Group. Everyone was overjoyed. It turned out that Terence was going to handle it on his own. At 8:00 o¡¯clock in the evening, St Paulo hotel. Alexa wore a champagne colored long dress and sat upright opposite JovanClough. It has been many years since west met. Miss Duran has not changed at all. Alexa first saw Joven at the dinner banquet that year, and then the pursuit thatnight. But now Jovan was triumphantly tasting the red wine, fixing his eyes on Alexisface. Jovan, about the cooperation proposed by yourpany. No hurry, let¡¯s eat first, Jovan interrupted her with a smile. Alexa was forced to stop talking. She looked coldly at the waiter, pouring red wine into her ss. Ms Duran, I propose a toast to you. Looking at the ss of dark red wine, Alexa was hesitant. She frowned imperceptibly, but Jovan held up his wine ss and the smile on his face faded a lot. Chapter 224 Chapter 224 Chapter 224 He Still Comes ¡°Not at all.¡± Alexa gracefully raised her ss. However, her heart was already a mess. Her assistant team had not arrived yet. They were already ten minuteste. Seeing Jovan¡¯s evil smile, Alexa realized that something might be wrong. She only pursed her lips against the ss and did not drink the alcohol inside. ¡°Ms. Duran, your father should be the one who came to talk to me about this deal. Can you handle it on your own?¡± Jovan said with a hint of disdain, Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°I have already known the situation. Mr. Clough, you can name a price.¡± Looking at the woman in front of him who pretended to be lofty, Jovan was thinking something else ¡°ording to the contract¡­¡± ¡°Ms. Duran, you are more charming than before,¡± Jovan said suddenly. ¡°I like you.¡± Alexa was wearing a slim fishtail dress. It was exquisite, but it did not make her seductive at all. Alexa pursed her lips slightly and tried her best to endure Jovan¡¯s words. ¡°Mr. Clough, let¡¯s focus on the contract.¡± ¡°Does Ms. Duran have a boyfriend?¡± ¡°Mr. Clough.¡± Alexa warned him. The waiters around her all took a step toward her. ¡°Please show some respect.¡± ¡°Respect?¡± Jovan sneered. His smile was sinister. In the past few years, Terrence had been targeting Jovan like a mad dog. He had even destroyed Jovan¡¯s order which was worth tens of billions. Jovan had connections both in the business industry and the political world. No one had ever dared to mess with him like Terrence. He had to take revenge! ¡°Ms. Duran, I respect you. You are so beautiful. I thought you knew the rules in business.¡± Jovan tapped on the table Alexa¡¯s remaining patience was instantly exhausted She mmed the table and stood up She said, ¡°It seems that we have to stop here today¡± ¡°Ms. Duran, if you don¡¯t listen to me, you may not be able to leave this room¡± Jovan leisurely yed with the ring on his thumb Then he casually said, ¡°The people you are waiting for will nevere Alexa¡¯s hands instantly clenched into fists on both sides of her body. At the same time, the waiters around her were approaching her. As long as Jovan gave the order, they could immediately put their hands on her ¡°Are you going to do it yourself, or do you need my help?¡± Jovan looked up, his evil eyes frivolously sizing up Alexa. ¡°Drink that ss of wine.¡± Alexa stared at him vigntly and did not move. ¡°I don¡¯t want to repeat it. Are you sure you want to provoke me?¡± Alexa knew very well that there must be something added to the ss of wine But she had no choice After Alexa drank half of that ss, someone broke in. ¡°Who is it?¡± The bodyguards roared and immediately became ready to fight. A team of well-trained men in ck rushed in and had the bodyguards under control in a few moves Jovan¡¯s face was so dark as he watched Terrence enter the room and walk to Alexa¡¯s side. Alexa did not expect Terrence woulde. She was stunned and stood stiffly in front of him with the wine ss in her hand. ¡°I made reservations in the restaurant. Why didn¡¯t youe?¡± Terrence said in a low voice, but he didn¡¯t sound like he was angry. At the moment, it was weird that Alexa wanted to cry. Terrence took the wine ss from her hand. Then he said gently, ¡°Wait outside. I¡¯ll be with you in a minute.¡± ¡°Terrence¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay just want to talk to him.¡± Terrence lowered his eyes and chuckled, showing no signs of anger. ¡°Go¡± Alexa had to follow Edwin out of the room. After the door was closed, Terrence lost his smile in an instant, which was then reced by a deep chill ¡°Mr. Ramsey, long time no see,¡± Jovan said in a gloomy voice. Terrence didn¡¯t say a word. Instead, he directly smashed the wine ss in front of Jovan. The ss broke on the ground, and the dark red wine instantly stained Jovan¡¯s clothes. But in front of Terrence, Jovan still did not show any panic. ¡°I¡¯m discussing business with Ms. Duran. Mr. Ramsey, what are you doing?¡± ¡°What am I doing?¡± Terrence sneered. His eyes instantly turned cold. He tore off the tablecloth with one hand, and all the cups and tes on the table fell to pieces. ¡°Jovan, you are not smart Terrence pulled a chair and sat down, arrogantly looking at Jovan. ¡°You put your hands on my wife.¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey.¡± Jovan was a little panicked. ¡°This is a misunderstanding.¡± ¡°Misunderstanding?¡± Terrence smiled lightly. ¡°I made you lose millions of assets. That is not a misunderstanding.¡± Jovan was furious, but he did not show his fury right now. ¡°Apologize to her.¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey¡­¡± ¡°Apologize to her!¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Jovan walked out the door with a sullen face. When he saw Alexa, he could not even raise his head. ¡®Ms. Duran, I¡¯m sorry¡­ I was drunk and I said something inappropriate to you.¡± ¡°Inappropriate?¡± Alexa asked, ¡°If he didn¡¯te, what would you do to me? Huh?¡± ¡°I won¡¯t do anything.¡± ¡°Oh, is that so?¡± Alexa chuckled. ¡°It seems that Mr. Clough is really an upright man.¡± Alexa looked at Jovan in disgust, and in the blink of an eye, she looked away. Jovan had nothing to say and left dejectedly. After Terrence wiped the stains off his hands, he slowly walked out of the room Seeing that Alexa was wearing Edwin¡¯s coat, Terrence was annoyed. He directly went forward, grabbing Edwin¡¯s coat from Alexa¡¯s shoulders and throwing it back to Edwin. Edwin immediately withdrew with his people, leaving Alexa and Terrence at the scene ¡°Thank you,¡± Alexa said weakly. ¡°Why are you here alone? Where is your assistant?¡± Terrence asked seriously Alexa shook her head, obviously unwilling to talk about it. Terence naturally took off his coat and put it on her body. Then he leaned over toward her and picked her up. Alexa was carried in Terrence¡¯s arms, and she didn¡¯t have to step on high heelsanymore. She immediately. Felt relieved a lot. Suddenly, she still panicked. Put me down.I can walk by myself.Have you eaten?Are you hungry? Not yet. They were too close and Alexa felt ufortable. Terence had the smell of alcohol and also a hint of cold pine fragrance. Her eyes were wet, but she did not dare to cry out. Terrence carefully carried Alexa into the driver¡¯s seat and then squatted besidethe car, taking off her high. Heels. Alexa gasped in surprise, only to find that her heels had blood marks. Terence frowned, and directly through her high heels into the trash can. Don¡¯t throw them away.Do you want the shoes or your heels? Then Terrence sat in the driver¡¯s seat and started the car. It was sote. Alexa did not know where Terence was taking her to. Chapter 225 Chapter 225 Chapter 225 Get a Higher Position Through Beauty Not long after, Terrence stopped the car at the entrance of a luxurious hotel ¡°I have an exclusive room here¡± Alexa¡¯s expression changed when she heard this. She looked at Terrence warily Terrence seemed to understand what Alexa wanted to say. He exined helplessly ¡°Are you nning to go back to see Damar like this?¡± Alexa looked down and found that her skirt was very dirty. Terrence held her hand without a change in his expression and walked past the front desk. Terrence¡¯s room was a presidential suite with all kinds of facilities ¡°Go take a shower.¡± Terrence spoke casually. He rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen. Alexa was so nervous that she quickly hid in the bathroom She dawdled for half an hour beforeing out of the bathroom Unexpectedly, Terrence had already prepared food and was sitting at the dining table reading a book. ¡°Are you done?¡± Terrence got up and pulled out a chair for her. ¡°Let¡¯s eat¡± ¡°Oh¡­ Okay.¡± Alexa sat down stiffly. Before she ate, Terrence walked to the side to get the medicine box ¡°Why were you with Jovan?¡± ¡®Me? I was talking business with him.¡± Alexa exined unhurriedly. Terrence¡¯s eyes became a little strange instantly. He confirmed word by word. ¡°You were talking business with Jovan?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa nodded naturally ¡°He is our biggest partner in Mexico.¡± Terrence did not care who Jovan was because he would make Jovan lose everything. Terrence said with some displeasure, ¡°So what? If I hadn¡¯te today, what do you think is going to happen?¡± Alexa did not speak because Terrence was now kneeling on one knee in front of her and holding her foot gently. ¡°How did this happen?¡± Terrence said this in an indifferent tone, but his movements were still gentle. When the ointment touched the wound, Alexa frowned slightly. Terrence noticed that Alexa was dodging, so he handled it lightly After helping her treat the wound, Terrence began eating. The food he made was still the same as before. Alexa tasted a little. The old memories began toe back. ¡°No matter what, I still have to thank you today.¡± Terrence did not have much of a reaction and asked indifferently. ¡°Are you very short of business now?¡± ¡°Will business peoplein that they have too much business?¡± Alexa did not want Terrence to look down on her, so she tried not to be inferior in words. However, Terrence did not have the intention ofughing at her ¡°Anyway, I am a businessman. Why can¡¯t you cooperate with me?¡± ¡°What business do you want to do?¡± Alexa asked Terrence with a smile. Terrence was clearly aware that there was a trick in Alexa¡¯s words, but he still said it without hesitation ¡°Everything you want. I promise you.¡± Alexa said lightly, ¡°No. I think we should keep our distance. Otherwise, others will gossip. *Alexa?¡± As soon as Terrence said this, Alexa¡¯s cell phone rang. Terrence subconsciously looked over and saw ¡°Mr. Powell¡± on the screen. They were very normal words, but Terrence felt jealousy. So intimacy, Terrence thought. Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Are you going to the balcony to pick it up?¡± Terrence asked while suppressing his emotions. Terrence thought he was sick, or else he would not have said such words. ¡°It should not be a big deal.¡± Alexa said lightly and answered the phone in front of Terrence. ¡°Hello?¡± Terrence saw that Alexa¡¯s expression became very gentle. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m back ¡°It¡¯s nothing. ¡®Don¡¯t worry about me¡± When Terrence heard what Alexa said, he instantly lost his appetite. He put down his fork and concentrated on listening to her call. ¡°I know. You should rest early too. Good night.¡± When Terrence heard Alexa say thest sentence, he couldn¡¯t hold his jealousy After Alexa hung up the phone, Terrence couldn¡¯t wait to say. ¡°You do care about him.¡± Alexa didn¡¯t exin and nodded. Terrence pursed his lips tightly, and the jealousy in his heart began to distort ¡°He has been very close to Rita all these years ¡°I know. So what?¡± Alexa looked at him firmly. Under the warm yellow light, Terrence actually felt guilty ¡°I just hope that you won¡¯t be cheated* ¡°Cheated?¡± Alexa said softly. ¡°Have I not been cheated enough in the past?¡± Terrence paused. Then he changed the topic somewhat unnaturally. ¡°Let¡¯s eat first.¡± At the end of the meal, the atmosphere became more and more silent When Terrence went to the bathroom, Alexa changed her clothes and left. However, the scene of her rushing out of the door was caught by the camera not far away. That night, the news in New York exploded. ¡°Vision Group¡¯s president is using her beauty to get a higher position. Her whereabouts are suspicious. She escaped from the presidential suitete at night!¡± After the news spread, the Public Rtions Department of Vision Group immediately began to deal with it. However, no matter how they handled it, the news didn¡¯t calm down but spread like wildfire. As for Hudson Group, there was no response. Not long after, Alexa¡¯s identity was exposed, and the onlinements were all one-sided. ¡°So it¡¯s her. Wasn¡¯t she dumped by Mr. Darrell a few years ago?¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid that she got her position as the president of Vision Group by sleeping with other guys too.¡± ¡®Does she want to seduce Mr. Ramsey? Doesn¡¯t she know what she looks like?¡± There were more and more curses like this. Very soon, Aubrey knew that this was a premeditated farce. ¡°Clean up the negative information first. Make the Legal Department contact thewyer and the Public Rtions Department release a public notice as soon as possible!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Aubrey intentionally made Alexa avoid these things, but the news was on fire on the Inte When Alexa saw the news online, she was dissolving milk powder in water for Damarion Even though Alexa had tempered her temper enough in the past few years, when she saw these things, she still panicked. But Alexa immediately controlled her emotions and handed the milk bottle to Damarion without a change in expression. Then, she hid in the study room and called Aubrey. ¡°How is the situation?¡± ¡°Ms. Duran, I¡¯ve already got it under control. There are no problems¡± ¡°Is there any information about Damar?¡± No. That¡¯s good. Alexa heaved a sigh of relief. This matter suddenly became unimportant. Damarion was now her spiritual pir. As long as he was fine, nothing in the world could threaten her. Aubrey said. But Miss Duran, the rumours online are all about you and MrRamsey. This will be detrimental to your reputation. The best way is to hold a press conference together with Hudson Group torify it. No need.I don¡¯t want to have too much contact with Terrence, Alexis said calmly.On the other side of the line, Aubrey didn¡¯t expect this, but she did not ask too much. Not long after, Kayon called. Alexa already expected that, so she didn¡¯t panic. Key on.I have already boarded the ne.I will be in New York in three hours. Kayon, I made you worry again. That bastard Terrance dared to bully you. This time I will teach him a lesson. Chapter 226 Chapter 226 Chapter 226 I Just Want an Exnation ¡°In fact, it wasn¡¯t him who did it. It should be Jovan.¡± ¡°Humph, I say they¡¯re on the same team. They are both not good,¡± Keyon said confidently. ¡°If those media didn¡¯t receive Terrence¡¯s signal, how could they dare to target you like this?¡± Of course, Alexa was clear about what Keyon said. ¡°Alexa, you can¡¯t believe Terrence after all this, right?¡± ¡°Of course not. I won¡¯t believe him anymore,¡± Alexa denied immediately. ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Keyon¡¯s voice gradually became low. ¡°Alexa. I hope you don¡¯t forget who caused us to be destitute and homeless and caused our foster parents to die. I will definitely not let the Ramsey family get away from this.¡± ¡°Hmm.¡± Alexa¡¯s expression was dark and gloomy as she left the study. Keyon wanted toe to New York to support her, but she was not happy at all. Damarion was ying with the walkers happily in the living room. Alexa barely squeezed out a smile and went forward to hold Damarion in her arms. ¡°Dad¡­ Dad¡­¡± Hearing a few tender shouts, Alexa was stunned as her face instantly turned pale. Was this her illusion? Just now, Damarion¡­ was saying ¡°Dad¡±? T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Alexa felt a lump in her throat. She didn¡¯t say much and then handed Damarion over to Yareli. ¡°Yareli, I¡¯m going to thepany. I¡¯ll have to trouble you to look after Damar.¡± ¡°Hmm, okay.¡± When Damarion saw that Alexa was nning to go out, he immediately threw away his interest in the walkers and fixed her bright eyes on Alexa. ¡°Mom¡­¡± After Alexa heard Damarion¡¯s soft voice, Alexa¡¯s heart immediately softened. ¡°Damar, be good. Mom will be back soon.¡± After saying that, Alexa turned around and left without looking back to have changed into a different person and handled theplicated affairs of silver-gray Maybach slowly parked at walked to the door without hesitation. The housekeeper immediately asks me is this possible?¡± The butler said in disbelief, ¡°Ms. not reply. Suddenly, his eyes caught a glimpse of ¡°Damar!¡± Damarion happy smile. He followed behind Damar someone to open crouched down when Damar could not wait ¡°Hug¡­¡± this was what Terrence was supposed to a professional caretaker for a long time before he dared to hug and there was a his temper so carried Damarion to the living room, and Mr. Damarion seems to like you personality and finished speaking, Damarion had already begun to bite his her words and went to Damarion and did not want to let what Yareli had just said, Terrence looked down silently at child had always been Damarion before, he always had at this age supposed to get along with heard Damarion ¡°Dad¡­ Dad¡­¡± He looked at Damarion very deliberately, but Damarion could not understand what he with coffee slightly and walked Is seen his biological father. Ms. Duran should is going Was there was a fatherly love, ¡°What?!¡± Terrence¡¯s expression changed, and the disbelief in his eyes instantly turned gloomy. Sensing the change in Terrence¡¯s mood, Damarion looked at him curiously for a moment and continued to shout like before. ¡°Dad¡­¡± Damarion¡¯s clear voice entered his ears, and Terrence only felt that it was extremely ironic. ¡°Terrence!¡± An angry low shout sounded, and Alexa suddenly appeared at the door and strode toward them. Terrence suddenly became absent-minded, and Alexa had already snatched Damarion away. However, her flustered actions were excessive, and Damarion was instantly frightened to tears. ¡°Yareli, take Damar back to his room,¡± Alexa ordered in a cold voice, her displeased eyes locked straight on Terrence. ¡°Alexa, let¡¯s talk,¡± Terrence said without any confidence. ¡°Just in time, I have something to talk to you about.¡± After Yareli carried Damarion back to her room, Alexa removed her deliberate forbearance, and her chest heaved violently with anger. ¡°Why did you let the media secretly take photos and even write out these things to publicize!¡± ¡°When did I get people to take photos?¡± Terrence calmly eased her anger. ¡°Hudson Group Public Rtions Department will do its best to deal with this matter. It will definitely not affect you at all.¡± Alexa threw away her handbag with a sullen face and would not easily buy that. ¡°Then let me ask you, why did they take a picture of meing out of your room?¡± ¡°I will definitely investigate this matter as soon as possible. If there is anything, you mustmunicate with me.¡± ¡°What is the use ofmunicating with you?¡± Alexa was getting more and more emotional. ¡°What else do you know besides these methods to take revenge on me?¡± ¡°What do I take revenge on you for?¡± Alexa grunted coldly and looked away indifferently. Vision Group¡¯s public rtions department has already investigated clearly. Hudson Group released the news. Otherwise, the media would not be so unscrupulous. Terrence paused for a moment and changed the topic. ¡°I heard that you intend to let Kieran be Damar¡¯s stepfather?¡± After Alexa heard this, Alexa¡¯s pupils shrank and she asked with a cold expression. ¡°That¡¯s my business. What does it have to do with you?¡± Alexa always used this sentence to stop Terrence! Terrence faintly gritted his teeth and stubbornly replied. ¡°Why does it have nothing to do with me? Why does it have to be Kieran?¡± ¡°You want to exin, don¡¯t you? Alright, I¡¯ll tell you,¡± Alexa sneered. Chapter 227 Chapter 227 Chapter 227 I Miss You Very Much ¡°That¡¯s good. He finally realized his dream,¡± Alexa said with a faint smile. Maeve immediately noticed that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing. Even if Brenton and Alexa used to love each other deeply, Alexa was now ¡°Mrs.Ramsey.¡± ¡°I¡¯m so hungry. Let¡¯s go have dinner.¡± Maeve warmly held Alexa¡¯s arm, and the three of them took a taxi and left the airport. In Hudson Group. Terrence ended a meeting, and Edwin reported the itinerary behind him. The entire day was as busy as usual, but Terrence suddenly spoke. ¡°I¡¯m free tonight. I have something to do and need to go home.¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, tonight¡¯s arrangement is to have dinner with Ms. Walton. Do you need to cancel it?¡± Hearing this, Terrence paused. ¡°Forget it.¡± he turned around and said, ¡°Make the arrangements as usual.¡± still need to go home?¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, do you ¡°Call Alexa and tell her toe back early.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Was that why Terrence wanted to go back? Edwin realized that he couldn¡¯t understand Terrence¡¯s thoughts. Recently, Terrence often mentioned Alexa. The three of them wandered around, and the sky gradually darkened. Obviously, Carissa still wanted to have some fun. ¡°My brother just opened a bar. Let¡¯s go and drink.¡± Maeve immediately agreed, but Alexa held her phone and stood to the side without making a sound. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Alexa?¡± Carissa realized something was wrong. ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°I have something to do at home. I might have to go back early today.¡± ¡°Why is it so sudden?¡± Maeve was also very surprised. They had known Alexa or so many years, and they all knew very well what kind of character she had. On this whole day, Alexa rarely mentioned Terrence in front of them. Carissa immediately guessed that the problem might be with Terrence. ¡°Did Terrence make things difficult for you?¡± Carissa asked seriously. ¡°Come on. I can¡¯t believe he¡¯s still so old-fashioned.¡± ¡°Carissa.¡± Alexa gently grabbed her hand. ¡°He did not make things difficult for me. He protected the Duran family for me at that time. It is right for me to do these things.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t we make a bet?¡± Maeve hooked her neck. ¡°What do you want to bet on?¡± ¡°We can bet on whether he wille to you,¡± Maeve said confidently. ¡°What if hees? It means that he might really have some feelings about you in his heart.¡± ¡°What if he does note?¡± Carissa said, ¡°If he doesn¡¯t show up, you¡¯ll have to pack your things and sign a divorce when the marriage contract expires. Then, you can start a magnificent and dazzling independent life. Even if he is Terrence, he is not qualified to trap you for the rest of your life.¡± What Carissa said was also what Alexa had once thought. However, she could only stall time day by day. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about it. Maybe he¡¯s having fun with some other girls right now.¡± Maeve hit the nail on the head. Alexa came back to her senses. ¡°Let¡¯s go drink!¡± On the other hand, Edwin hung up the phone with a poker face and stood beside Terrence to report in a low voice. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, I still can¡¯t get through to Mrs. Ramsey¡­¡± ¡°Can¡¯t get through?¡± Terrence gloomily asked. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Go and investigate,¡± Terrence gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Bring her back to me now!¡± ¡°Understood.¡± Edwin left nervously, and Brynlee just came out of the locker room. ¡°Terrence, does this dress look good?¡± Terrence¡¯s expression in ¡®antly softened, and he absent-mindedly praised, ¡°It looks good.¡± ¡°I have a friend who opened a music bar. I¡¯ve asked a few friends. Can we go there tonight? It¡¯ll be fun.¡± This was a good opportunity for her to meet Terrence¡¯s friends, and Brynlee had specially prepared a lot for this. Terrence originally hated these noisy ces, but Brynlee proposed to go, and he had topromise unconditionally. At this time, Alexa happened to choose a booth. Carissa ordered some low alcohol beverages and enthusiastically introduced tonight¡¯s singers. ¡°He¡¯s Finnegan Brickley. I really like him!¡± Carissa said excitedly. ¡°Not only is he talented, but he is also charming. I made my brother spend a lot of effort inviting him here.¡± The three of them sat in the most eye-catching ce and were extremely beautiful. Not long after, a lot of handsome men went straight over and tried to chat them up. Terrence stepped into the hall under the escort of the crowd. At a nce, he saw Alexa surrounded by many men, and she did not drive them away. Did she enjoy this feeling very much? Terrence walked over to them with a cold expression. When Brynlee saw Alexa, she instantly felt very upset. ¡°Terrence, let¡¯s go.¡± The few people behind them also noticed Alexa, but no one spoke out. Terrence stood where he was. He narrowed his eyes dangerously, and his entire body exuded a chilly aura. Alexa noticed the people at the door. She inadvertently looked up and happened to meet Terrence¡¯s malicious gaze. Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. Alexa immediately froze, turned around, and went to the bathroom with a pale face. Was Alexa afraid of him? Terrence frowned. Terrence sneered, grabbed Brynlee¡¯s hand, and went to the other booth. Alexa walked far away, and when she turned back to confirm that Terrence had not caught up, she calmed down a little. What was there to be a raid of? Why was she afraid? Alexa realized that she was really timid. She didn¡¯t openly flirt with the other men outside, but how about Terrence? It was as if she had cheated on him. Alexa rummaged in her handbag for a long time, but her hand was shaking so much that she could not even hold the lipstick steadily. She sighed in frustration and walked back with a haggard face. When she was passing by the corner, a figure suddenly rushed out and pulled her over. Alexa was caught off guard and was thrown to the wall. Then, the strong body pressed over. Alexa smelled the scent on his body and confirmed that the person who came was Terrence. ¡°Hey!¡± Terrence smelled her neck, and his lips almost touched her skin. Alexa was so frightened that she could not help but flinch, and every nerve was ¡°That¡¯s good. He finally realized his dream,¡± Alexa said with a faint smile. Maeve immediately noticed that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing. Even if Brenton and Alexa used to love each other deeply, Alexa was now ¡°Mrs.Ramsey.¡± ¡°I¡¯m so hungry.

Alexa was so frightened that she could not help but flinch, and every nerve was conveying fear. ¡°Terrence, let me go first.¡± Her voice was already trembling slightly. From beginning to end, Terrence didn¡¯t listen to her at all. Terrence did not say a word. His gaze seemed to be carrying out a final judgment on her. The atmosphere between them gradually turned cold, and Alexa did not dare to say a word. At that moment, the singing in the front hall suddenly stopped and was reced by an affectionate voice. ¡°The next song is a song that my good friend, Brenton, dedicated to his love in this life. He hopes that one day he can personally say to that girl, ¡®I miss you very much. Alexa, I¡¯m sorry.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, cheers and apuse came, but Alexa was stunned ear. ¡°Terrence, let me go first.¡± Her voice was already trembling slightly.

In the entire New York City, who doesn¡¯t know that Alexa can sleep with any man and is a hypocrite?¡± Athena criticized Alexa on the moral high ground. ¡°Athena!¡± Kieran instantly pped the table and stood up. The veins on his forehead were faintly visible, and he red at Athena angrily. Alexa originally did not take Athena seriously, but seeing Kieran so angry, she could not stand by and do nothing. ¡°Apologize to her.¡± Kieran¡¯s tone was gloomy. ¡°Why should I apologize to her?¡± Athena rolled her eyes in disdain. ¡°Am I not telling the truth?¡± ¡°Athena, I¡¯ll give you onest chance. Are you going to apologize or not?¡± Athena did not expect Kieran to be so hostile to her. Athena thought, this man really deserves to be cheated by Alexa! She gritted her teeth and red at Alexa before tugging at Brenton¡¯s sleeve. Brenton frowned and shook her hand off in disgust. ¡°Apologize to Alexa!¡± ¡°Brenton, I am your fianc¨¦e. How can you treat me like this?¡± Brenton was choked by Athena. His face turned ashen and cold. Marrying Athena was not his own will, and Brenton only had hatred for this woman. Watching this farce get more and more exciting, Alexa was about to settle down the conflict, but she didn¡¯t expect Terrence toe over. The atmosphere at the scene was instantly cold to the extreme. Before this Brenton in front of her could be resolved, another man, Terrence, came. Kieran stood in front of Alexa with a cold face and looked at the people in front of him with a serious expression. Athena, who had been pestering just now, was now afraid. She had seen what Terrence was capable of in the past two years. Those who bullied Alexa in the past ended up only worse. Athena curled her lips in dissatisfaction and prepared to endure humiliation and apologize. However, Terrence did not pay them any attention at all. He just nced at Alexa and then left without care. Alexa looked up slightly and did not understand what he meant. ¡°Alexa. I apologize for her. Sorry to trouble you,¡± Brenton said sincerely. ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Alexa didn¡¯t give them any extra looks. Instead, she looked at Kieran gently. ¡°Kieran, don¡¯t be angry. Let¡¯s go.¡± Hearing her words, Brenton felt a little jealous. But so what? What could Brenton do about it? Brenton didn¡¯t deserve Alexa¡¯s attention at all. Brenton subconsciously lowered his head, deliberately avoiding her gaze. ¡°Alexa, you!¡± ¡°Ms. Golding, don¡¯t be agitated. Vision Group¡¯s offer to you still stands. After all, you have used so many resources. It is not easy,¡± Alexa said slowly. Athena¡¯s proud self-esteem was instantly torn to pieces, but she did not dare to say anything more, so she could only leave with Brenton with a sullen face. After leaving the restaurant with Kieran, they slowly walked on the street with dim street lights. Alexabed her hair that had been messed up by the sea breeze and looked thoughtfully at the sea surface, which was humming under the waves. ¡°Sorry, I just¡­¡± Kieran looked down slightly. ¡°I was impulsive.¡± ¡°Thank you. I haven¡¯t experienced the feeling of having someone to back me up for a long time, so, thank you,¡± Alexa smiled faintly. Kieran paused and looked down at her fair and slender hand. The road at night was empty and there were few pedestrians on the street. They walked together quietly and naturally, like a couple walking. Kieran thought silently and was suddenly shocked by this idea. He instantly collected his thoughts and found that Alexa had stopped. ¡°What did Ms. Bailey say?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°After all, I¡¯m such a shady person. I even brought a child. The Bailey family should be unhappy that you¡¯re so close to me, right?¡± Alexa mocked herself. ¡°Whether they are happy or not has nothing to do with me. Plus,there is no messy rtionship between me and Rita,¡± Kieran exined. Kieran¡¯s meaning was very obvious, and he was even a little nervous. He was eager to prove himself in front of Alexa. ¡°Hmm.¡± Alexa nodded with a smile, and light dimples appeared on her cheeks. ¡°But it¡¯s time for you to get married. Didn¡¯t Mr. Bart urge you?¡± Kieran understood what Alexa meant, but he knew he had to pretend he knew nothing about Alexa¡¯s implication. ¡°Two years ago, my brother asked me to fake marriage with you. I¡¯m really sorry.¡± ¡°Why apologize? ¡°If it bothers your future wife, I can exin.¡± Alexa¡¯s eyes were clear, and she was not joking at all. ¡°Alexa,¡± Kieran lowered his head and spoke carefully. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Alexa looked up into his eyes. For the first time, she found a trace of panic in Kieran¡¯s eyes. ¡°What if I didn¡¯t treat the marriage certificate as a bluff?¡± When he finished his words, the atmosphere instantly froze. ¡°Sorry, I¡­ Sorry,¡± Kieran said in vain. ¡°Really?¡± Alexa simply asked these words, but Kieran could not answer. ¡°But, why? I have divorced, and I have a child,¡± Alexa said as she walked forward. ¡°Alexa, I don¡¯t care about that, and I will treat Damarion as my own child.¡± ¡°What about your future? Don¡¯t you want it? Mr. Bart won¡¯t agree either,¡± Alexa asked jokingly. ¡°I have ways to solve all these problems.¡± However, Alexa shook her head indifferently. ¡°I can¡¯t be so selfish. I can¡¯t stop you from meeting better people.¡± The sea breeze was getting colder, and Alexa was getting colder. She tidied up her clothes and continued walking forward. Suddenly, she fell into a warm embrace. Kieran hugged her tightly from behind. Alexa was dazed for a moment. Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°I¡¯m not asking you for a rtionship. I just want to tell you my feelings.¡± ¡°Kieran¡­¡± Alexa murmured his name softly. His entire brain waspletely empty. She had never thought that after being tortured by Terrence, she would actually have such feelings for a man. ¡°Give me a little more time, okay? I really am not a person worthy of being loved, so¡­ give me a little more time.¡± The dim yellow light shone on them, and the world seemed to be so small. In this small world, Alexa heard Kieran¡¯s voice. ¡°You are worth it,¡± Kieran said firmly. ¡°All my waiting is because you are worth it.¡± A momentter, a dazzling white light suddenly hit them. Alexa nearly subconsciously left Kieran¡¯s arms and looked over guiltily. Sure enough, it was Terrence¡¯s car. Didn¡¯t he leave just now? Why did hee back now? ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Alexa took the initiative to hold Kieran¡¯s hand. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about him.¡± In the car not far away, Terrence silently gripped the steering wheel, and his malicious eyes were fixed into their hands. Without any hesitation, Terrence immediately picked up his phone and called Alexa Chapter 229 Chapter 229 Chapter 229 Don¡¯t Mention Her But Alexa didn¡¯t answer the phone at all. Terrence narrowed his cold eyes and stared at the two people in front of him. Alexa and Kieran were still holding hands and even getting closer and closer. Theypletely ignored him. A hint of ruthlessness shed through Terrence¡¯s eyes. In the next second, he stepped on the elerator and arrogantly passed them. Finally, he stopped the car in the middle of the road. ¡°Alexa,e here.¡± Terrence¡¯s cold face was half hidden in the dark interior of the car. His hostility was still increasing. ¡°What do you want?¡± Alexa asked indifferently. ¡°I want you toe over.¡± Kieran¡¯s gaze was cold. And he directly pulled Alexa into his arms in front of Terrence. ¡°Terrence, what¡¯s the matter? You should talk to me.¡± ¡°You?¡± Terrence nced at him gloomily and sneered disdainfully, ¡°Who are you?¡± Seeing Terrence¡¯s rudeness in person, Alexa felt that something in her heart was vanishing. Terrence was indeed pretending two days ago. Fortunately, she wasn¡¯t fooled. ¡°It seems that Mr. Ramsey has nothing to talk about.¡± Alexa looked away indifferently. ¡°Then we¡¯ll go now.¡± ¡°Where are you going?¡± Terrence asked in annoyance, ¡°Are you going home with him?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Alexa ran her fingers through her hair pleasantly and looked up at Kieran with a smile. The jealousy and hatred in Terrence¡¯s heart were increasing crazily. ¡°Kieran and I are a legitimate couple.¡± Alexa added, ¡°We are not divorced, so¡­ Well.¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, do you have any other questions?¡± Kieran said. Terrence was obviously angered by them. In the blink of an eye, he stepped on the elerator with a gloomy face and sped away. After Terrence disappearedpletely at the corner of the street, Alexa got out of Kieran¡¯s arms. ¡°Kaff¡­¡± Kieran immediately changed the topic. ¡°I¡¯ll drive you home.¡± ¡°Um. Thank you.¡± Ten minutester, Terrence arrived at Siren Bar. Aron was attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the bar today. Aron thought that Terrence came for him. Unexpectedly, he started drinking the moment he entered the private room. No one around dared to stop Terrence. Aron sat down carefully next to him. Aron asked boldly, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Terrence ignored him and threw away the empty bottle in his hand. Then he picked up another bottle of Louis XIII. ¡°Strong alcoholic drinks will hurt your throat and health.¡± Aron tried his best to stop Terrence. But Terrence soon finished half of the bottle. ¡°Alexa will be worried if she knows.¡± Terrence¡¯s dark eyes immediately shed with a cold light. ¡°Alexa? What?¡± Aron said, ¡°I mean¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t mention her to me!¡± Terrence angrily interrupted Aron. ¡°OK. OK. OK.¡± Aron immediately figured out the problem. ¡°I¡¯ll drive you home to rest now.¡± ¡°Let Edwine here.¡± ¡°OK.¡± Aron was about to call Edwin when Terrence suddenly stopped him. ¡°Forget it. There¡¯s no need for him toe.¡± Terrence pinched the area between his eyebrows in difort, pursed his thin lips tightly, and sat quietly in the seat with a cold expression on his face. As Terrence¡¯s old friend, Aron already knew who to call. But judging from the current situation, it should not be easy to handle. ¡°You go out.¡± Terrence¡¯s voice was hoarse, and his gaze implied that he was angry. ¡°I¡¯ll sleep here tonight.¡± ¡°OK.¡± Aron immediately got out of the room and called Alexa. She quickly answered the phone, but Aron, who had always been good at chatting, suddenly felt nervous. ¡°Is this Ms. Duran?¡± He ventured. Alexa was silent for a moment. Then she answered in her cold voice. ¡°Mr. Lambert, Terrence has nothing to do with me. You don¡¯t need to call me anymore.¡± Aron¡¯s n was seen through in an instant. He felt a little embarrassed. ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°There are many women¡¯s numbers in his phone. Right? If no one answers the phone, you can call Brynlee. She won¡¯t refuse.¡± ¡°I promise this will be thest time,¡± Aron said shamelessly. ¡°It won¡¯t happen again.¡± ¡°I still have other things to do. Goodbye.¡± After saying that, Alexa directly hung up the phone. She turned around and entered the room from the balcony. After tucking Damarion up, Alexa picked up her phone and called Edwin. When poor Edwin rushed to the bar, Terrence had be sober. However, when he saw a group of men standing in front of him, he couldn¡¯t help but frown. A trace of disbelief shed through his eyes. ¡°Edwin, did youe alone?¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, do you want me to call Ivy?¡± Before Edwin finished, Terrence red at him. Terrence braced himself up and stood up. Then he slowly walked out. Edwin knew who Terrence was waiting for, but that person would note. ¡°Did Aron ask you toe here?¡± Terrence asked casually. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, it was Ms. Duran who called me. She said that you were drunk. And she asked me to pick you up.¡± Terrence¡¯s misty eyes instantly lit up, but he quietly concealed his true emotions. ¡°She asked you toe here, so you came.¡± Terrence whispered, ¡°Is she your boss?¡± Edwin¡¯s expression changed. He immediately bowed and apologized. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mr. Ramsey.¡± Terrence turned his back to Edwin and blinked his eyes. ¡°Call her and let here here herself.¡± Edwin was speechless. He thought, did Mr. Ramsey know how childish and unreasonable he is now? Ms. Duran had done all she could. She called me over. Why could shee here personally? ¡°She will definitelye.¡± Terrence was very confident. ¡°Call her.¡± Edwin had no choice but to do as Terrence said. The call did get through. Terrence was pondering. He managed to prevent himself from taking the phone. Alexa wanted to break off with him. Terrence would not have her wish fulfilled. Edwin soon hung up the phone. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Ms. Duran asked you to wait.¡± ¡°Then I will wait.¡± Edwin thought, uh¡­ I think they mean different things. However, Edwin did not say much. Instead, he supported Terrence unconditionally. Unexpectedly, not long after Edwin left, Alexa came. She drove a low-key ck Mercedes-Benz. Alexa looked at Terrence, who was standing on the side of the road. He naturally sat in the front passenger seat, but neither of them spoke. Alexa directly started the car and didn¡¯t look at him. Terrence nced at her indifferent side face and felt even more disappointed. ¡°Where were you?¡± Terrence asked in a muffled voice. ¡°You were not with Kieran?¡± Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°I was not with him.¡± ¡°It seems that I have disturbed you two.¡± Alexa did not know what he was up to, but it didn¡¯t feel good to be called out at midnight. Alexa said, ¡°Edwin told me that you have something to tell me.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Terrence quickly replied, ¡°But I forgot what I wanted to say. What were you and Kieran talking about just now?¡± Chapter 230 Chapter 230 Chapter 230 The Paternity Test Alexa frowned as Terrence kept asking about Kieran. Enter title¡­ ¡°Why are you asking so many questions?¡± Terrence said, ¡°You want to say that it has nothing to do with me again?¡± Alexa replied, ¡°It¡¯s between me and Kieran.¡± ¡°Doesn¡¯t that still mean it has nothing to do with me?¡± said Terrence. Alexa¡¯s expression did not change. Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. She replied leisurely, ¡°It¡¯s good that you know that.¡± Terrence was bored as he leaned on the chair. The strong alcohol was giving him a headache over and over again. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you would note?¡± Terrence asked in a hoarse voice. ¡°After all, you think I am just your ex-husband.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true, so we should not see each other so often. I am afraid that my husband will misunderstand.¡± ¡°Your husband?¡± Terrence sneered sinisterly. His eyes were full of hostility. ¡°Alexa¡­¡± ¡°Where are you going?¡± Alexa interrupted him at the right time, ¡°Duckdale Vi?¡± Terrence thought about it and chose the nearest residence. In less than ten minutes, Alexa got to the vi. Terrence didn¡¯t dy and directly got out of the car. As a cold wind blew, he stumbled. ¡°Are you alright?¡± Alexa asked in a t tone. Terrence subconsciously waved his hand and walked to the door. Alexa didn¡¯t want to help him. But in the end, she could only get out of the car and hold his arm. The elegant fragrance of bellflower instantly filled his nose. Terrence turned his head in surprise and saw Alexa¡¯s cold face. ¡°You can go now,¡± he hesitated and said. ¡°You are so close to me. Aren¡¯t you afraid that he will find out?¡± Alexa had a sullen look on her face. ¡°You are already an adult. Don¡¯t you know how much you can drink?¡± ¡°I know.¡± Terrence said solemnly, ¡°It won¡¯t happen again.¡± Alexa said, ¡°Don¡¯t ask me to pick you up again.¡± ¡°OK.¡± Terrence answered word by word very seriously. But Alexa did not believe him. Terrence promised a few days ago that he would nevere to disturb her again. But he broke his word. Alexa pondered. The weight Terrence ced on her suddenly increased, and she almost fell to the ground. But Terrence managed to pull her back. When Alexa came back to her senses, she was leaning against Terrence in a very intimate posture. ¡°Are you alright?¡± Terrence asked as if nothing had happened and politely let go of her waist. Alexa¡¯s fair face became flushed. She immediately stepped back and looked away awkwardly. ¡°Sorry.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Terrence opened the door. Alexa stood behind him in a reserved manner. It seemed that she wanted to leave. ¡°Do you want toe in?¡± ¡°No. I have to go.¡± Terrence said, ¡°I want to give you something.¡± Alexa hesitated for a moment, but still did not intend to enter the vi with Terrence. ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you here.¡± ¡°Come in. If people pass and see you here, they will gossip.¡± ¡­ Alexa took a moment to weigh the pros and cons. Atst, she went in with Terrence. The decoration inside the vi was very simple. From all the details, it could be seen that there was onlyone person living here. Alexa sat on the sofa and waited. After a while, Terrence walked up to her with an exquisite ring box. ¡°This is¡­¡± ¡°Yours.¡± Terrence replied briefly and opened the box. In the ck velvet, there was a shining diamond ring. And it was the wedding ring Alexa threw away before. ¡°I know you don¡¯t like it,¡± Terrence said coldly. ¡°I just want to return it to you and let you deal with it.¡± Only then did Alexa notice that there was a wedding ring on the ring finger of Terrence¡¯s left hand. ¡°You can keep it.¡± She forced a smile, ¡°You bought this.¡± Terrence was silent and did not speak. Alexa looked at him nervously and finally noticed that something was wrong with Terrence. ¡°Why is your face so red?¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine¡­ Kaff¡­ Kaff¡­¡± Terrence couldn¡¯t help coughing. Alexa subconsciously held his hand. Terrence looked at her in surprise, but Alexa¡¯s face was very serious. ¡°Your body temperature is so high. You must have a fever.¡± ¡°Well,¡± Terrence nodded and said. ¡°I will be fine after taking some medicine.¡± ¡°You drank so much just now. You should go to the hospital.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Terrence directly refused and turned to go to the room. Now Alexa could not leave. She went to the medicine cab on the side. She found some antipyretics and brought them to Terrence¡¯s room. He was lying on the bed, looking very unwell. ¡°Why haven¡¯t you left yet?¡± Terrence was still focusing on her. ¡°It¡¯s sote, I¡¯ll let Edwin drive you home.¡± ¡°Take the medicine.¡± Terrence did not say anything else. Like a child who had received candy, he carefully listened to what Alexa said. ¡°You are leavingter. Right?¡± ¡°Take the medicine first,¡± Alexa said in a low voice. ¡°I won¡¯t leave for the time being.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Terrence looked happy. Alexa wondered what Terrence was doing. He did not care about his health at all. ¡°Have a good rest.¡± Terrencey down obediently, but his gaze was still fixed on Alexa. This face, this person, this scene¡­ He had thought about these for a long, long time over countless nights. ¡°Take that ring.¡± Terrence suddenly had an inexplicable sense of superiority. In any case, Alexa¡¯s first wedding ring was given by him. ¡°You should rest now. Don¡¯t worry about other things.¡± Alexa changed the topic and sat to the side to send a message to Yareli. After she returned to New York, she had been busy and thus neglected Damarion. Every time Alexa returned home, Damarion had fallen asleep. And when she left home, Damarion hadn¡¯t woken up yet. Alexa suddenly felt lonely, and her eyes became misty. But the next second, Yareli sent a photo of Damarion sleeping. Looking at the cute little guy on the phone, Alexa felt that her tiredness was all gone. There was even a sincere smile on her face. Terrence saw her expression. He kept silent, but sadness was growing in his heart. Terrence thought, in fact, it¡¯s meaningless to keep her and make up for it. Right? Alexa and I were destined to be strangers after she left back then. From the beginning to the end, he directed all the farce. And he was the only one that felt touched. Terrence closed his eyes solemnly. And in a sh, it was already dawn. The person sitting next to himst night had disappeared, but there was a check and a note on the cab beside the bed. ¡°1.5 million dors for the ring. I¡¯ve paid off the money that I owed you.¡± Terrence stroked the note with interest. His expression was subtle. At this moment, Edwin called. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, the medical center reported the results of the paternity test¡­¡± Edwin took a deep breath and told the truth under pressure. Twenty minutester, the Ramsey family¡¯s convoy of cars stopped at the entrance of the Duran¡¯s house in public. And at this time, Keyon also arrived Chapter 231 Chapter 231 Chapter 231 She Won¡¯t Forgive You ¡°Terrence?¡± Keyon narrowed his eyes warily. ¡°What are you doing here? Are you here to harass my sister again?¡± ¡°Your sister?¡± Terrence smiled sinisterly. He was already aware of certain things. ¡°Keyon, Alexa is my wife.¡± ¡°She isn¡¯t now.¡± Keyon walked towards the door with a serious face. But Terrence caught up with Keyon and grabbed his cor. The atmosphere at the scene instantly became tense. ¡°Terrence, what are you doing?¡± Keyon nced at him coldly. There was killing intent in his cold eyes. ¡°Keyon, do you really think I don¡¯t know what you are hiding?¡± Terrence¡¯s gaze was sharp. And there was a faint sneer on his face. ¡°What?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve got the results of the DNA test. Damar is my son.¡± Keyon instantly froze. The darkness in his eyes burst out without any concealment, implying destructive anger. ¡°So?¡± Keyon suddenlyughed. ¡°What¡¯s the point of you saying all this? What do you want to do to them?¡± ¡°Alexa is my wife and Damar is my son, so I came to take them home.¡± ¡°No way!¡± Keyon angrily shook off Terrence¡¯s hand. The bodyguards behind him immediately rushed up to catch Terrence. However, Terrence¡¯s bodyguards were not people to be trifled with either. The two sides instantly fell into a stalemate. A war could start at any time. At this moment, Alexa came out with Damarion in her arms. Seeing this scene, she and Damarion were stunned. Alexa though, what¡­ What¡¯s going on¡­ ¡°Alexa, go back in there,¡± Keyon restrained his emotions and said gently. Terrence¡¯s face darkened. He said in a tone ofmand, ¡°Alexa, go home with me.¡± ¡°Terrence, why are you here again?¡± Alexa took two steps back vigntly. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Terrence did not reply. Edwin, who was on the side, took out a document under pressure and walked to the door. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, this is the DNA test result given by the hospital,¡± Edwin said nervously. ¡°The report shows that Mr. Damarion and Mr. Terrence are rted by blood.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Alexa replied lightly. She wasn¡¯t surprised at all. Terrence looked at her through the iron door. There was guilt, regret, and even some anger in his gaze. Alexa did not seem to have any intention of telling him. Terrence had expected this¡­ ¡°So what?¡± Alexa said with a cold smile, ¡°I won¡¯t let you take Damar away.¡± ¡°Mom.¡± Damarion noticed that Alexa was strange, so he called her softly and rubbed against her chest. ¡°Damar, don¡¯t be afraid.¡± ¡°I think her answer is very clear.¡± Keyon drove Terrence away impatiently. ¡°Leave here!¡± Terrence¡¯s hands, hanging by his side, were clenched into fists. Alexa hugged Damarion so tenderly that Terrence felt heartbroken. ¡°Alexa, I only want to remind you that I didn¡¯t sign it, so our marriage hadn¡¯t ended yet.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Alexa nonchntly tilted her head. ¡°Our separation will soon reach the required period of two years. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Terrence was so angry that he suddenly coughed a few times. He could only leave with his people. Alexa didn¡¯t put down her guard until the whole high-profile Rolls-Royce fleet left. She looked at Keyon helplessly. His face softened a little, but it was still as cold as ice. Obviously, Keyon was still angry about the matter that just happened. ¡°Why is that bastard still pestering you?¡± Keyon¡¯s tone was a little fierce. Damarion curled his lips in grievance and suddenly cried in Alexa¡¯s arms. ¡°Damar, it¡¯s alright. I wasn¡¯t talking about you.¡± Keyon felt sorry and went forward to pick Damarion up. But Damarion suddenly resisted him and cried even harder in his arms. Alexa had to take Damarion back. She patiently coaxed him for a long time. ¡°We should do something.¡± ¡°No matter what, I won¡¯t give Damar to him,¡± Alexa said firmly. ¡°Damar is my child.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Keyon promised her, ¡°I will definitely protect you.¡± At this moment, Terrence was sitting in the car with an angry face, and his vibe was so cold that the air around him seemed to freeze. ¡°Will the result of the DNA test be wrong?¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, it won¡¯t be wrong,¡± Edwin promised nervously. Edwin had been working for Terrence for many years, but he found that it had be harder to understand Terrence. His wife and children were right in front of him, but Terrence turned around and left. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Mrs. Ramsey¡­¡± Before Edwin finished, Terrence cast a sharp gaze at him. ¡°Damar will be two years old in two months.¡± Because Terrence¡¯s tone was too gentle, Edwin was not sure if Terrence was talking to him. The next second, Terrence suddenly changed the topic. He ordered, ¡°Contact thewyers. I want to prepare a birthday present for my son.¡± ¡°OK.¡± After leaving the Duran¡¯s house, Terrence remained restless. Thinking of Damarion hiding in Alexa¡¯s arms, Terrence felt agitated again. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, your parents will arrive in New York in an hour.¡± Terrence tiredly pinched the area between his eyebrows. He looked exhausted. ¡°Go to the airport.¡± Rebekah and Jason had stayed abroad for two years. If they hadn¡¯t heard the news about Alexa, they wouldn¡¯t have returned home with great fanfare. An hourter, at New York Airport. Terrence and his people waited respectfully in the waiting room. Rebekah held Jason intimately with one hand and gracefully held the broad brim of her hat with the other. She strode into the room in high heels. ¡°Dad, Mom.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t call me.¡± Rebekah passed Terrence and sat down on the central seat in an imposing manner. ¡°Where¡¯s Alexa?¡± ¡°In the Duran¡¯s house.¡± ¡°What?!¡± Rebekah cried out in surprise. She took off her sunsses in disbelief and looked at Terrence up and down. ¡°Alexa has been home for so long, but you haven¡¯t made her forgive you?¡± ¡°Rebekah, don¡¯t be angry.¡± Jasonforted her. ¡°Although Alexa doesn¡¯t want to see him, it doesn¡¯t mean she will refuse to see us.¡± Terrence was speechless. Rebekah red at Terrence disappointedly. She couldn¡¯t understand why her son would be so incapable. ¡°Back then, you said that Alexa had passed away. But now she is still alive.What exactly happened?¡± T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°I am also investigating. What happened back then was definitely not that simple.¡± David once said that Alexa¡¯s heart was failing, and it was unlikely to be cured. But now, she was still fine. Terrence was very d, but at the same time, he was still a little scared of what happened at that time. ¡°I don¡¯t care what your problem is.¡± Rebekah¡¯s face sank. ¡°This Saturday we will invite Alexa to join us for dinner. You should apologize to her properly.¡± ¡°Mom, she won¡¯t forgive me.¡± ¡°Of course, she won¡¯t forgive you.¡± Rebekah was not surprised. ¡°Think about what you have done. ¡°Terrence, not everyone who apologizes is worth forgiving.¡± Chapter 232 Chapter 232 Chapter 232 The Truth Is Often Cruel Jason said emotionally and sighed helplessly. ¡°No matter what, the Ramsey family has let her down.¡± ¡°Back then, if not for you fooling around with other women, how could Alexa be hurt like this by you!¡± Rebekah was still angry, and her cold eyes were locked on Terrence. ¡°I will try my best,¡± Terrence spoke lightly and powerlessly. After exining things to his parents, Terrence went to thepany. When the receptionist saw him, she immediately stepped forward respectfully. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Ms. Barrell, the president of Constan Group is here. She is waiting for you in the reception room.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Terrence walked into the reception room but did not expect that the person sitting in front of him was Carissa. She wore an elegant and simple custom-made long dress and exquisite makeup. She didn¡¯t look like she was in a tearing hurry anymore. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, long time no see,¡± Carissa smiled, her every move elegant. Because of Alexa, Terrence¡¯s attitude towards Carissa was not so cold. He nodded slowly in response but still sat far away opposite her. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, I am in charge of my familypany now.¡± Carissa said confidently, ¡°I¡¯m very happy to cooperate with Hudson Group.¡± Terrence didn¡¯t say many civilities and flipped through the contract. Because she was Alexa¡¯s friend, Terrence rxed the conditions and soon came to an agreement with Carissa. However, she was not in a hurry to leave but talked about something else with Terrence. ¡°Alexa is back.¡± Carissa pointed out, ¡°How are things between you two?¡± Terrence nced at her casually and did not intend to talk about it. ¡°I am disappointed she didn¡¯t tell me these things. I¡¯ve been friends with her for so many years.¡± Realizing Terrence was ignoring her, Carissa calmly said. ¡°I know everything about her and Mr. Powell.¡± When he heard that, Terrence¡¯s eyes flickered slightly. ¡°You know?¡± He said in a deep voicemandingly. ¡°It¡¯s all in the past. There¡¯s no point in mentioning that anymore.¡± Carissa avoided his gaze. ¡°It¡¯s just that Alexa has feelings for Mr. Powell. It¡¯s better if you don¡¯t disturb her.¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes turned cold, and darkness rose in his eyes. ¡°Moreover, they were only faking their marriage to make you give up.¡± ¡°What you said is true?¡± ¡°The truth is often cruel. Mr. Ramsey, you should be very clear about that, right?¡± Carissa looked down and whispered calmly. ¡°Back then, Mr. Darrell was deceived like this. I just hope you will not make the same mistake. Alexa is really good at using feelings.¡± Terrence¡¯s face was sour, and Carissa tactfully picked up the contract. ¡°That¡¯s all I can say. Goodbye.¡± After Carissa left, Terrence sat alone in the conference room for a long time. Alexa¡­ Not long after, Carissa met Alexa and Kieran at the entrance of the hospital. ¡°Alexa!¡± Hearing the enthusiastic call, Alexa looked up in shock. The moment she saw Carissa, her eyes were instantly filled with tears. ¡°Carissa?¡± Carissa gracefully got out of the car and looked at the two with a subtle gaze. ¡°Ms. Barrell,¡± Kieran said politely. Carissa clicked her tongue and moved closer to Alexa, saying mysteriously. ¡°Alexa, not bad.¡± ¡°Carissa, it¡¯s not what you think,¡± Alexa exined in embarrassment. Kieran did not mind and looked at Alexa. ¡°Do you want to talk to Ms. Barrell? Then I won¡¯t disturb you.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa nodded. She and Kieran were like a loving couple. Carissa smiled and did not speak. This confirmed her theory. ¡°Alexa. Let¡¯s have a cup of coffee.¡± ¡°Alright!¡± Alexa was overjoyed and intimately held Carissa¡¯s hand. ¡°Carissa, it¡¯s been a long time.¡± ¡°Yeah, you left without saying goodbye. You made me worry for a long time.¡± Carissa said angrily, ¡°Today, you have to exin it to me clearly.¡± ¡°I¡¯m really sorry about what happened back then, but I have no other way.¡± After the two sat down in the caf¨¦, Alexa began to exin what had happened that year. ¡°At that time, I was in a critical condition on the operation tform and fell into aa. When I woke up, I was no longer in New York.¡± ¡°Alexa, then your illness¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s all cured.¡± Alexa said with relief, ¡°My brother contacted a medical team abroad. They developed special drugs for me.¡± ¡°Well, that¡¯s good.¡± Carissa just nodded thoughtfully, not very happy. ¡°You havepletely given up on Terrence now? Don¡¯t you have any feelings for him?¡± Alexa paused. ¡°Of course.¡± There was no warmth or affection in Alexa¡¯s eyes. ¡°Not only do I not love him, but I want to return all the harm he has done to me.¡± ¡°Okay, Alexa. I support you!¡± Alexa did not want to say more about Terrence, but the next second, she received a call from Rebekah. Alexa was a little hesitant when she answered the call, but she still called out. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey.¡± Hearing that, Carissa silently stirred the sugar in her coffee cup, and a strange look shed across her eyes. Alexa simply responded a few times before ending the call. Carissa sipped her coffee and sounded out. ¡°Alexa, was that Terrence¡¯s mother just now?¡± ¡°Yes, she asked me out for dinner tonight.¡± ¡°They must be on Terrence¡¯s side,Alexa. Are you really going?¡± ¡°The grudge between me and Terrence is unnecessary to involve others.¡± Alexa nodded, fully at ease. ¡°What¡¯s more, it¡¯s a good opportunity to make things clear.¡± After bidding farewell to Carissa, Alexa went to the styling room to do a good hairstyle and then calmly attended the appointment. Alexa knew Terrence woulde, so she put on a new diamond ring. The banquet was at the most luxurious hotel in New York. There were many bodyguards around, who were on high alert. It suggested important guests woulde tonight. Alexa calmly tidied up her hair, walked into the elevator, and went straight to the top floor. In the luxurious room, there were only Jason and Rebekah. Both of them were dressed solemnly. Obviously, they attached great importance to tonight¡¯s dinner. Hearing the knock on the door, Rebekah could not wait toe forward to wee him. When Rebekah saw Alexa standing gracefully at the door, her eyes were instantly filled with tears, and she immediately hugged Alexa. ¡°Alexa, you are here¡­¡± Alexa¡¯s hands stopped in the air for a moment and finally slowly fell on Rebekah¡¯s back. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, I¡¯m back.¡± ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re back. I am happy!¡± Rebekah released Alexa. Rebekah¡¯s eyes were red. After that, she carefully sized her up a few times. ¡°Alexa, you¡¯ve lost a lot of weight. You¡¯ve suffered a lot these years.¡±Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. Chapter 233 Chapter 233 Chapter 233 No Obligation to Spoil Her ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, are you and Mr. Ramsey well? You have white hair.¡± Alexa did not want to lose herposure, but Mrs. and Mr. Ramsey had treated her like their own daughter for so many years. She really could not control her emotions. ¡°We are both very well.¡± Jason smiled kindly and said, ¡°Hurry up and take a seat. You should be hungry too.¡± Alexa nodded and looked around. Rebekah knew what she was thinking and quickly exined. ¡°Alexa, if you don¡¯t want to see him, I will tell him not toe.¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, it¡¯s okay.¡± Alexa nodded gently and took a seat with Rebekah. Not long after, some of the close rtives of the Ramsey family arrived, and the atmosphere began to be lively. However, Terrence still did not appear. Alexa calmly took a sip of hot tea. Alice Wood, who was sitting opposite her, nced at her with disdain, her eyes fierce. As a side branch of the Ramsey family, the Wood family held a lot of power, but it had never been valued by Jason. However, the obscure Alexa could not only marry Terrence but also get shares in Hudson Group. Just thinking about that, Alice was so angry that she wanted to strangle Alexa. After a few minutes, a cold and tall man walked in from the door. Alice¡¯s eyes instantly lit up as she looked at Terrence with great anticipation. The atmosphere in the room inexplicably turned cold for a moment. Everyone¡¯s gaze fell on Terrence at the same time, except Alexa. ¡°Terrence, sit here,¡± Alice politely invited. But Terrence did not even look at her. Instead, he walked straight to Alexa. Rebekah was still sitting next to her. Alexa did not show her rejection of Terrence. ¡°You are here,¡± he said in a low voice. ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa nodded lightly. ¡°Rebekah invited me.¡± ¡°Why are you calling her Mrs. Ramsey?¡± Terrence said without hesitation, ¡°Call her mom.¡± In an instant, the room waspletely silent. Everyone tacitly looked away, pretending that they did not hear what Terrence had just said. ¡°Terrence!¡± Rebekah said in a warning tone, intending to ease Alexa¡¯s embarrassment. Alexa smiled lightly and said calmly. ¡°There is no seat here. You can sit somewhere else.¡± Then the person sitting next to Alexa instantly got up and went away. Terrence raised his eyebrows slightly. Under Alexa¡¯s stiff gaze, he calmly pulled the chair closer and sat down next to her. ¡°Since everyone is here, let¡¯s start the feast,¡± Jason said as he raised his ss. ¡°You came alone? Where is my son?¡± ¡°Why are you asking about him?¡± Alexa frowned and whispered in a voice that only they could hear, ¡°Don¡¯t y tricks on me.¡± Terrence was not annoyed but instead leaned closer to her with interest. ¡°You are very beautiful tonight.¡± The normal sentence became weird when Terrence said it. The disgust in Alexa¡¯s eyes deepened as she coldly nced at him. ¡°Shut up. Terrence did shut up, but the next second, Alexa looked down at the table. His slightly calloused hand was naturally holding her hand. Feeling the warmth, Alexa froze for a moment. ¡°Terrence¡­¡± ¡°I heard you have been very close to Mr. Powell recently?¡± Hearing that, Wendy red at Alice and shouted. ¡°Alice, what nonsense are you talking about!¡± Rebekah¡¯s eyes turned cold, and her imposing aura frightened Wendy quite a bit. ¡°Alice, apologize to them.¡± ¡°But I saw everything.¡± Alice pouted innocently. ¡°Alice!¡± Wendy reprimanded Alice but hoped Alice could tell the truth. ¡°Yesterday, I saw Ms. Duran and Mr. Powell holding hands shopping.¡± As soon as she said that, the expressions of everyone present became strange. They already thought Alexa was not a good woman and only Terrence treated her like a treasure. Alexa did not panic or intend to argue. She looked at Terrence calmly, but he did not turn his head to look at her. It seemed he was about to let go of her hand under the table. ¡°You saw it wrongly,¡± Rebekah said unhappily, ¡°Who taught you to say such inappropriate words? What a disgrace!¡± Being criticized by Rebekah, Alice instantly became embarrassed but didn¡¯t want to lose to Alexa. ¡°Auntie, I didn¡¯t see wrongly.¡± Alice¡¯s eyes were red, and she argued in a wronged manner, ¡°It was indeed her.¡± ¡°Ms. Wood is so concerned about me?¡± Alexa said in a low voice, ¡°I really couldn¡¯t tell.¡± ¡°You¡¯re juggling between Kieran and Terrence. What do you want?¡± ¡°Alice!¡± Jason mmed the table angrily. ¡°This is my family dinner. If you want to sow discord, please leave now!¡± ¡°Alice is a child who doesn¡¯t know any better. Please don¡¯t mind her.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t mind her?¡± Rebekah was even more displeased. ¡°You don¡¯t teach her well as a mother. What obligation do we have to spoil her?¡± ¡°Well¡­ Terrence¡­¡± Alice cried as she looked at Terrence, but she didn¡¯t expect him to say this. ¡°Get out.¡± ¡°I really saw it.¡± Terrence¡¯s face was so gloomy, and the gray fog in his eyes became denser. ¡°Get out!¡± His tone was filled with anger, and it seemed he was really angry. No one dared to speak up for Alice, so Wendy had to leave with Alice, embarrassed. ¡°Alexa, I¡¯m really sorry.¡± Rebekah exined with a gentle expression on her face, ¡°It is not easy for you to have a meal with us, but they caused a scene.¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, it¡¯s okay.¡± Alexa smiled sweetly and got up, filling a bowl of vegetable soup for Rebekah, just like the perfect daughter-inw she used to be. Rebekah felt even more upset when she saw Alexa¡¯s calm expression. Alexapletely changed. Alexa sat down again, and Terrence also brought her a bowl of vegetable soup. She ignored it and talked to Rebekah. Terrence did not mind and continued to serve her dishes, filling up her bowls and tes. This content is ? N?velDrama.Org. Although he did not ask, Alexa knew Terrence believed Alice. But the next second, the door was knocked, and the person who came in was Kieran. A self-mocking sneer touched Terrence¡¯s face, and he mmed his fork on the table with a p. ¡°Sorry to disturb everyone.¡± Kieran smiled gently and walked toward Alexa under everyone¡¯s gaze. ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°Something happened.¡± Kieran reached out to Alexa. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Alexa felt like she had been pped hard. She wanted to exin but could not. ¡°Alexa¡­¡± Rebekah looked at her in confusion. ¡°Mr. and Mrs. Ramsey, I¡¯m sorry.¡± Alexa quickly exined and left with Kieran without any exnation. Chapter 234 Chapter 234 Chapter 234 If I Don¡¯t Want to Pretend ¡°Why are you here all of a sudden?¡± Alexa asked quickly, ¡°What happened?¡± The expression on Kieran¡¯s face wasplicated, and he said indifferently. ¡°Someone told me the Ramsey family was making things difficult for you.¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s just a meal.¡± ¡°You can¡¯t really know someone. They might be nning something.¡± Sensing that Kieran was a little angry, Alexa softened her attitude. ¡°I know what I¡¯m doing.¡± ¡°But what if?¡± ¡°There is no ¡®what if¡¯.¡± Kieran turned his head to look at Alexa with a smile, not knowing what to say. ¡°Keyon asked me to take care of you, so I can¡¯t let anything happen to you.¡± Kieran pursed his thin lips and took off his coat to wrap it around her tightly. ¡°What if you catch a cold in such cold weather?¡± ¡°Dr. Powell, got it.¡± Alexa answered seriously. Kieran felt happy and was patient. However, Terrence happened to see that as he quickly caught up with Alexa. Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. His aura was cold as he approached Alexa with a gloomy expression. ¡°Come here,¡± Terrence coldly ordered. Kieran guarded him icily and held Alexa tighter. ¡°Are you really going with him?¡± ¡°Terrence, I said¡­¡± ¡°Come here.¡± Alexa frowned in displeasure, clearly not fond of Terrence¡¯s attitude. She was not a pet that he could summon whenever he wanted. ¡°Kieran, let¡¯s go.¡± Alexa held Kieran¡¯s hand. Terrence¡¯s eyes were cold, and his hands hanging by his sides were clenched. ¡°Alexa, if you want him to be my son¡¯s stepfather, I will definitely not agree.¡± As soon as those words were said, Alexa instantly stopped in her tracks. Kieran gritted his teeth and nced at Terrence. Kieran immediately tightened his grip on Alexa¡¯s hand. ¡°Alexa¡­¡± He spoke in a low voice, but Alexa¡¯s eyes were slightly red. She looked at Terrence with a determined face, and her thin body was firm. ¡°Terrence, anyone can be his father but not you.¡± The atmosphere instantly became cold. Terrence¡¯s eyes were bloodshot, and it was obvious he was about to flip out. ¡°Alexa!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve made it perfectly clear.¡± Alexa coldly withdrew his gaze. ¡°If you cross the line again, don¡¯t me me for being ruthless.¡± Terrence did not chase after her in the end, as if he was nailed to the spot, watching her and Kieran leave. A supposedly good dinner party turned out to be a disaster. Alexa sat in Kieran¡¯s car and leaned tiredly in the seat. He was as quiet as a cat. Kieran opened the door and handed him a ss of hot milk. ¡°Are you hungry?¡± He asked thoughtfully, ¡°Let¡¯s eat somewhere else? The restaurant in the west of the city is still open.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa nodded slightly. Kieran suddenly leaned into the carriage, and they were only inches away from each other. Kieran¡¯s cold scent lingered around her. Alexa felt her heart beating faster and faster and held her breath, afraid he would notice something strange. But Alexa forgot ¡­ Kieran was a doctor. He smiled thoughtfully, and with a light p, he helped her buckle her seat belt. Alexa gradually calmed down but did not dare to look up at Kieran. ¡°If you are worried that they will misunderstand you, I can exin.¡± ¡°No need to exin.¡± Alexa said unnaturally, ¡°I am not afraid of them misunderstanding.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true.¡± Kieran chuckled and casually teased, ¡°We¡¯ve known each other for many years. If we wanted to, we should have been together a long ago.¡± Alexa suddenly felt the little deer in her heart that had been silent for a long time now seem to show signs of recovery. But Kieran stopped the topic and concentrated on driving to the restaurant. It was already nine o¡¯clock in the evening, and there were few customers in the restaurant, so it was about to close. ¡°One serving of fresh shrimp soup, two servings of sd, and a te of roasted pigeon.¡± After Kieran finished speaking, he turned back to look at her. ¡°Do you want anything else?¡± After so many years, he actually still remembered her preferences. ¡°No, it¡¯s enough,¡± Alexa said softly. They chose a table by the window and sat down. The heater was turned on, and Alexa took off Kieran¡¯s coat. She wore a V-neck long dress, and the ingenious design perfectly outlined her curvaceous figure. Kieran suddenly felt a little hot and looked away unnaturally. In front of him, Alexa was not shy. She gulped down the soup as if she had been hungry for days. ¡°Take your time. No one is snatching it.¡± ¡°I am hungry.¡± Alexa said in a fuzzy voice and soon finished a bowl of shrimp soup. Kieran stared at her and didn¡¯t eat. ¡°Why are you looking at me?¡± ¡°Because you are beautiful.¡± ¡°The soup is almost cold.¡± Alexa stared at the bowl of soup in front of him and focused on ¡°eating¡±. ¡°It was hot but not anymore.¡± After Kieran finished speaking, he moved the soup in front of him to her. ¡°Thank you.¡± Perhaps it had been exhausting dealing with Terrence, so Alexa felt she was starving. ¡°How is Damarion recently?¡± ¡°He¡¯s pretty good.¡± Alexa said calmly, ¡°With my brother taking care of him, he must have forgotten about me, his mother.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been busy at the hospital recently. When I have time, I will definitely go to see him.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. It¡¯s easy to cheer him up. He won¡¯t mind,¡± Alexa said casually. Kieran smiled helplessly. After Alexa had her fill, they walked leisurely on the street to go home. ¡°I haven¡¯t answered your question that day.¡± ¡°It¡¯s all in the past. Just pretend it never happened,¡± Kieran said. ¡°But what if I take it seriously?¡± In an instant, Kieran¡¯s eyes shed with a touch of disbelief. ¡°Alexa?¡± Kieran touched her forehead with the back of his hand. ¡°You didn¡¯t drink wine just now, right? Are you feeling unwell?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t!¡± Alexa said resolutely, ¡°Mr. Powell, I am very sure I am sober now!¡± ¡°Okay¡­¡± Kieran could not react for a while and stared at her, but he could not say anything. ¡°I have never properly confessed to anyone before.¡± ¡°Yes¡­¡± ¡°You are the first.¡± Alexa looked up at him, her gaze gentle and affectionate. ¡°So¡­ do you want to try?¡± Her warm, soft, and sweet lips were right in front of him. Kieran pursed his thin lips slightly, and a warm feeling spread all over his body again. ¡°Alexa¡­¡± Kieran¡¯s eyes were dark as he spoiled the mood. ¡°If you want to use this to make Terrence angry, we can pretend¡­¡± Alexa¡¯s eyes shed, and she suddenly grabbed his tie and pulled it hard. ¡°What if I don¡¯t want to pretend?¡± Chapter 235 Chapter 235 Chapter 235 I Am Your Man Kieran was always rational and calm, but at this moment, his mind was a mess.He looked at Alexa with intense affection. ¡°Alexa,¡± Kieran said in a deep voice, stroking the light-colored hair on her temples. ¡°I have been waiting for an answer. Fortunately, today I finally have it.¡± ¡°Then don¡¯t throw it away.¡± Alexa smiled brightly, ¡°Don¡¯t let go.¡± ¡°Yes,¡± It was still under the yellow light, but this time, Alexa stood on tiptoe and gently kissed the corner of Kieran¡¯s lips. ¡°It¡¯ste. Let¡¯s go home.¡± Alexa gracefully adjusted her cor. Kieran turned his head and grabbed her shoulder. The light cast a dark shadow on his face. She did not care about what others thought, and of course, she did not mind the cameras hidden in the dark. A momentter, the picture the camera took was shown to another person. Kieran politely walked Alexa back home. Before he left, Alexa leaned on the bed, charming like a red rose in the night. ¡°I¡¯m very happy today. See you tomorrow,¡± she whispered. ¡°See you tomorrow.¡± Kieran pinched her face lovingly. ¡°Rest early.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa nodded and walked briskly toward the gate. Kieran, who had been sitting in the car and looking at her, suddenly said. Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Alexa.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°I live alone in the vi on the east side of the city. Do you and Damarion want to move there?¡± Kieran made his intention clear, and Alexa understood. ¡°I have to ask for Damarion¡¯s opinion. Good night.¡± Watching her figure gradually disappear into the courtyard, Kieran still felt happy. The salty sea wind blew through the window, but he felt a wave of sweetness. Kieran was about to send a message to Alexa, but Keyon called, and his face instantly became serious. ¡°It seems you and my sister are getting along pretty well.¡± Keyon said leisurely, ¡°You finally look like a couple.¡± ¡°Of course, I will do what I promised you.¡± ¡°I believe that but¡­¡± Keyon paused and seemed tough lightly. ¡°Mr. Powell, is it getting real?¡± ¡°No.¡± Kieran said without thinking, ¡°The person I like is not her.¡± ¡°Oh, that¡¯s good.¡± Keyon saidzily, ¡°As you know, I won¡¯t let Alexa get hurt again.¡± The light in Kieran¡¯s eyes gradually dimmed. After ending the call with Keyon, he drove away without a word. Alexa walked to the living room. It waste at night, and all the servants were not there. She took off her high heels as if she was freed and went to the room with a smile on her face. However, the moment she pushed open the door of the room, Alexa was instantly stupefied and gaped at the person in front of her. Terrence sat quietly on the sofa, holding Damarion who was already asleep in his arms. However, the scene that should have been warm and harmonious was extremely horrifying in Alexa¡¯s eyes. ¡°Terrence¡­¡± ¡°Be quiet.¡± Terrence looked at Damarion with eyes full of tenderness. ¡°My son just fell asleep.¡± ¡°Why are you here? Hurry up and leave!¡± Alexa whispered warily. Terrence ced Damarion into the baby bed and carefully tucked him in. Alexa stood at the door and silently watched Terrence walk towards her. She took a step back, but Damarion was still here, and she could not go. ¡°Terrence!¡± Alexa¡¯s eyes were red. ¡°What did you do to my son!¡± Terrence did not respond, but reached out, and lifted her chin. Her lipstick was a little messy. Terrence¡¯s eyes gradually darkened, and a touch of hostility spread all over his body. ¡°Who touched you?¡± Alexa pushed his hand away in disgust and avoided his gaze with a guilty conscience. But Terrence could not give up. He mped Alexa¡¯s shoulder with one hand and pressed her to the door. The thumb of his other hand was pressed against her lips. ¡°Kieran?¡± When he said those words, the chill in the depths of Terrence¡¯s heart burst out in an instant, swallowing Alexa. She was resistant to Terrence¡¯s touch, and with his constant pestering, her lipstick messily stained her face. ¡°Alexa!¡± Terrence gritted his teeth and growled angrily, kissing her lips in a furious manner. It was not a gentle kiss. Instead, it was a fierce and cruel possession and invasion. Alexa was suffocated by him until her lungs were out of oxygen. In the end, he hardened her heart and bit him with force. A salty smell of blood instantly pervaded the air. Terrence had no choice but to let go of her. He lifted his hand and wiped away the blood on his thin lips. Alexa¡¯s red lips were ravaged by him, and she forcibly suppressed the grievance and fear in her heart. She coldly bypassed Terrence and walked to the side. ¡°What did you and Kieran do just now?¡± Alexa ignored him. Terrence stared straight at the male coat on her body and pulled it off and threw it away. ¡°Who let you wear it!¡± ¡°Terrence, if you don¡¯t leave now, I will call the police.¡± ¡°Alexa, after you leave the hospital today, I have terminated the cooperation with the Powell family.¡± Terrence smiled sinisterly, ¡°Not only that, but they also have to give me 160 million dors as compensation.¡± Alexa gritted her teeth, and her hands hanging by her sides were clenched and loosened. However, Terrence instantly saw through her thoughts. ¡°You want to help him, don¡¯t you?¡± Terrence sneered with interest. ¡°You can try it.¡± ¡°Terrence, do you think this is fun?¡± ¡°How could that be? Don¡¯t you know what I¡¯m thinking?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to waste my time with you.¡± Alexa wanted to walk to Damarion¡¯s bedside, but Terrence directly picked her up and strode into the bathroom. Before she could react, Terrence threw her into the bathtub with a cold face. The soundproofing of the bathroom was good enough, and Terrence did not show any mercy like before. ¡°Wash yourself clean,¡± he ordered coldly. ¡°Terrence, what is wrong with you?¡± Alexa awkwardly held onto the edge of the bathtub and sat up, and her face turned purple with anger. ¡°What right do you have to order me!¡± ¡°I am your husband.¡± Terrence was also furious. ¡°You went out to hang out with other men. Why should I not be qualified to order you?¡± ¡°Only you are allowed to fool around. Why can¡¯t I find myself another man?¡± ¡°I am your man!¡± Terrence leaned over and pinched her face, demanding no resistance. ¡°Look at you now.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t touch me!¡± Alexa stubbornly turned her head to avoid his touch, her chest heaving violently. ¡°Terrence, I told you to leave me alone. Don¡¯t you understand?¡± ¡°Take a shower first.¡± Terrence coldly said, then got up, and left the bathroom. Unexpectedly, Damarion, who had been sleeping soundly, suddenly choked up and cried. When Alexa heard Damarion crying, she forgot about her sorry state and rushed over without any hesitation. Chapter 236 Chapter 236 Chapter 236 It Is Just a Minor Injury But she ran too fast and did not pay attention to her feet at all. Alexa lost her bnce, and her ankle suddenly twisted into an ugly arc. ¡°Ah...¡± She growled, and her face turned pale from the pain. ¡°Terrence, stay away from Damarion!" Terrence gently patted Damarion''s back. The little baby who had been crying non-stop just now quickly calmed down and fell asleep again. The water on Alexa''s body dripped down, and her ankle was swollen, but she did not say anything. Terrence looked at her with pity and helplessness. After putting down Damarion, he walked back to her. Alexa automatically dodged, which made Terrence feel even guiltier. "Sit tight," he said in a low voice. Alexa stubbornly pulled out her hand, not wanting him to touch it. "If you don''t want your foot to break, then hurry up and sit down.¡± Terrence¡¯s gloomy voice sounded, and Alexa could only sit down on the sofa. He knelt down on one knee and gently lifted Alexa''s left foot. "It hurts..." Alexa frowned and ayer of cold sweat appeared on her forehead. "Now you know the pain?" Terrence said a little seriously and carefully checked her injury. "It''s not too serious. Where is the medicine chest?" It was as if he had been in his own house, and some strange emotions were crazily growing in Alexa''s heart. "In the coffee table cab." After Terrence went out, he quickly came back with the medicine chest. Alexa had changed into a clean set of clothes and was sitting by Damarion''s bedside drying her hair. Terrence naturally bent over to her side, skillfully handling the sprain on her ankle. Damarion was sleeping beside her, and Alexa could only silently endure the pain, not daring to make a sound. After the injury was dealt with, Alexa''s face was pale. "Does it hurt?¡± Terrence asked with concern, "I''ll help you massage it.¡± "No need.¡± Alexa dodged him with a cold face and limped away. "You should go.¡± Terrence did not say much to her and silently put away the medicine chest before leaving the room. Alexa breathed a sigh of relief in shock, but not long after, Terrence actually came back. "Why are you still not leaving!" Alexa let out a low, angry, and impatient shout. However, Terrence did not mind. Instead, he sat down beside her bed. "Go to sleep." Terrence said gently, "You must be tired." With him around, it would be strange if Alexa could sleep. "Get out!" Alexa warily pulled her quilt to cover herself and asked, "What are you trying to do?¡± "I''m not doing anything.¡± Terrence spread out his hands innocently. "I''ll watch you fall asleep before leaving.¡± "No." Alexa tly refused, "Hurry up and leave." ¡°Okay.¡± Terrence stood up and looked deeply at Damarion. "How did you get in?¡± Alexa asked worriedly, "What did you do?" ¡°I''m leaving.¡± Alexa didn''t reply and could only re at him. ¡°I''m leaving.¡± Terrence said lightly, "Good night.¡± "Okay," Alexa replied indifferently. After leaving the Duran''s house, Terrence drove down the street for a long time. Only then did he find that he did not seem to have a ce to stay. Duckdale Vi was too spacious and empty, and he did not like it there. What about Aron¡¯s house? But he had just promised Alexa that he would not drink again. After some struggle, Terrence went to Hudson Group. Only when he was busy could he temporarily forget some things. The next day, Alexa was woken up by Damarion''s babble. "Mom..." Hearing a few tender calls, Alexa drowsily opened her eyes. "Yes, Damarion.¡± Getting her response, Damarion was even more delighted, leaning on the edge of the bed as he cried out to her. Alexa was so annoyed that she had no choice but to get upnguidly. Text content ? N?velDrama.Org. Just as she was about to hug Damarion like she usually did, Alexa¡¯s face suddenly turned stiff from the pain. Only then did she remember what had happenedst night, and she could only force out a smile at Damarion in annoyance. "I''m sorry, Damarion. Mom has a situation." Damarion innocently blinked his big, lustrous eyes and sensibly quieted down. "Are you hungry?" Alexa struggled to pinch Damarion''s cheek. "Do you want to drink soup?" As soon as she finished speaking, someone immediately knocked on the door. ¡°Alexa, it''s me.¡± Hearing the familiar voice, Alexa immediately smiled and said. "Kieran,e in." Kieran just came back from the hospital. In order to see her, he had not slept a winkst night. "Good morning.¡± Kieran sincerely held a bunch of red roses to her. "Today''s flowers are very beautiful. | thought you would like them, so | bought them." "I like them." Alexa happily took the roses, but Kieran asked about the smell of disinfectant, and his expression became serious. "Alexa, are you hurt?" "It is just a small injury. It was an ident." Alexa wanted to brush it off, but Kieran lifted the corner of the quilt and saw her ankle wrapped in bandages. "How did it happen?" "It''s nothing. | just identally tripped and fell." "Why didn''t you call me?" Kieran squatted down and loosened the bandagesyer byyer. Although it was just a sprain, to him, it was serious. "I''ll take care of it again." Damarion saw their interaction and reached out to Alexa. "Mom, mom hurts." "Good child, mom doesn''t hurt.¡± Even so, when Kieran helped her change the medicine, Alexa was still in so much pain that she clenched the sheets tightly. "Alexa, you have to tell me about things like this in the future.¡± Kieran said seriously, "| don''t want anything to happen to you, and | am willing to share your difort." "Yes." Alexa nodded quietly. ¡°I will pay attention to protect myself in the future.¡± "You can''t go in!" Hearing the noise outside, Alexa looked towards the door. Terrence did not say a word and directly pushed the door open to enter. ¡°Alexa...¡± When Terrence saw what was happening, he instantly stopped talking and reced it with a mocking sneer. "It seems you are busy.¡± "What''s the matter?¡± Alexa asked calmly. Kieran ignored Terrence and continued to treat Alexa''s sprain. "Yes, there is something.¡± Terrence smiled cruelly. "Mr. Powell, you are quite free. It seems you have found a way topensate for the breach of contract?" Kieran stopped applying ointment to Alexa for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal. "Dad..." Damarion''s innocent voice suddenly broke the deadlock in the room. Without waiting for Alexa to speak, Terrence went forward to pick up Damarion and gently replied. "Daddy is here." Alexa felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her expression turned extremely sour. Chapter 237 Chapter 237 Chapter 237 How Dare You Say That? "Damar." Alexa said angrily, "How dare you say that?¡± Alexa had never med Damarion like that. He instantly cried and rubbed against Terrence''s chest. Kieran helped Alexa deal with the sprain and stepped forward immediately. "Terrence, put Damar down." "Is it an order?¡± Terrence sneered. "Kieran, who do you think you are?" Kieran was slightly stunned. This time, he did not let it go. "Do you really want to know?" Kieran wasn''t angry, but he looked overbearing. "This matter is between me and Alexa. Who are you to know about it?" As Kieran said that, Terrence''s face turned gloomier. In the end, Terrence couldn''t say anything and directly turned away with Damarion in his arms. Given that Alexa did not follow them, Damarion panicked. "Mom..." "Damar!" Alexa hurriedly got up to chase, but she fell on the bed after two steps. Kieran immediately caught up, but Damarion was tightly held by Terrence, and Kieran did not dare to make a move. ¡°Terrence, return Damar to me." Kieran shouted sternly, "What kind of man are you?" Kieran took someone to follow them all the way, but they were blocked by the bodyguards brought by Terrence. ¡°Mom, mom!" Damarion immediately sensed something wrong and began to cry out in Terrence''s arms. However, Terrence calmly carried Damarion into the car, and then the driver drove off. Alexa stood on the second-floor balcony and saw the scene downstairs. She instantly sobbed in despair. "Damar!" Alexa did not care about her sprain and stumbled out of the room. She did not expect to run into Kieran''s arms. "Damar was taken away by him!" Alexa grabbed Kieran''s sleeve anxiously. "I am going to find him. I''m going to bring Damar back." "Alexa, don''t worry." Kieran held her in his arms and felt distressed.He said gently, "Terrence will not hurt Damar. He might bring Damar to his parents." Hearing Kieran''s words, Alexa suddenly recovered and calmed down. ¡°Damar...¡± Alexa was still very worried, but when she thought of Rebekah and Jason, Alexa suddenly stopped talking. "You take a rest first. I''ll go and bring Damar back.¡± Kieran was about to leave when Alexa suddenly grabbed his hand uneasily. "I''m afraid that Terrence will do you harm. Let''s forget it." Alexa said worriedly, "Damar will be fine." "Don''t worry.¡± Kieran patted the back of her hand with a smile and finally went out. Not long after, Terrence brought Damarion back to the Ramsey''s house. Rebekah and Jason did not know that Terrence wasing back. When they heard the sound of a childing from outside, they thought they had heard something wrong. At that time, Terrence carried the crying Damarion into the living room... ¡°Terrence?¡± Rebekah eximed in shock, "This is..." "This child is..." Jason looked at Terrence in disbelief. Terrence was about to exin, but Damarion, who had been sobbing, suddenly stopped crying. Damarion opened his eyes wide and stared at the two elders in front of him with curiosity. Not long after, Damarion felt safe andfortable. Since he was still being carried by Terrence, Damarion behaved himself for the first time and did not dare to do anything else. "This is Damar, right?¡± Rebekah smiled happily. "Damar, good boy. I''m your grandma." Jason, who had always been serious, was also very happy, but he soon felt something weird. "Where''s Alexa?" Terrence looked calm.He said inly, ¡°She didn''te with me.¡± "How could Alexa let you bring Damar back? Did you annoy her?" "I know how to deal with it.¡± Rebekah and Jason looked at each other in dismay, feeling that it was not so simple. ¡°I''m hungry," Damarion suddenly said. Rebekah instantly became nervous. "Damar, are you hungry?¡± She immediately called the servant over. "Ask the nutritionist to prepare food." Rebekah loved Damarion so much, and she took Damarion with her wherever she went. Not only did Terrence not feel at ease, but he was very sullen. He went to the yard and called Alexa. "Terrence!" Alexa was very emotional and even wanted to p him. "Where did you take Damar?" "The old residence.¡± Terrence calmly exined, "Do you want toe over?" Alexa was immediately angered by his words. She took a deep breath, and her heart beat fast. "If anything happens to Damar, I will definitely not let you go!" "You are not with Kieran?" "It doesn''t matter who I am with, Terrence..." "I will send Damar back tonight.¡± Terrence said casually, "After all,I am Damar''s father and have the obligation to raise him.¡± Given that, Terrence had shown great respect and been humble enough. He was the president of the toppany in the world, while the Powell Group couldn''t bepared with hispany at all. But now, Terrence constantlypromised in front of Alexa and Kieran. ¡°Terrence, Damar ising. Hurry to pick him up." Hearing Rebekah¡¯s voice, Terrence immediately came back to his senses. Damarion stumbled over and fell into Terrence''s arms. "Dad." ¡°Damar...¡± This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Terrence turned his head in surprise and met Damarion''s clear eyes. "Damar, what did you call me?" "Dad," Damarion said clearly. And Terrence suddenly smiled in relief. "Damar, did you call me dad?" Rebekah beamed with a smile but suddenly turned around to wipe out her tears. "Terrence, hurry to send Damar back. Alexa must be anxious." Not long after she finished speaking, there was a noise outside the door. Jason was feeding Damarion food when Rebekah looked at them affectionately. She felt hurt again. However, the person who came was Kieran. Terrence¡¯s face turned gloomy and he did not let the servant open the door. ¡°Terrence, you know that Alexa is not in good health, right?¡± Kieran said calmly, "Don''t you know how important Damar is to her?" "Kieran, why do you keep pestering her?" Terrence sneered, catching Kieran off guard. ¡°Terrence, you have never truly loved her. How can you understand?" Kieran stood in the flush of the evening sun and looked lonely. "Kieran, do you really love her?" "Anyway, Alexa has promised me." When Terrence heard these words, he was instantly pissed off. "Kieran!" Chapter 238 Chapter 238 Chapter 238 So Generous to Her Lover Kieran ignored Terrence and looked at Damarion with a gentle smile. Rebekah came out with Damarion in her arms and stood by Terrence with mixed feelings. "Mr. Powell.¡± Rebekah looked calm and didn''t show any emotions. "Mrs. Ramsey, long time no see.¡± "Mr. Powell, we just met the day before yesterday." Rebekah remained calm. She took a few steps forward with Damarion. "Please send Damar back. He is too young to leave his mother." Although she was very reluctant, Rebekah still handed Damarion to Kieran.Damarion did not realize what happened and could only look at them in confusion. "I will naturally send Damarion back.¡± Kieran chuckled and fixed his eyes on Terrence. "Please behave yourself, Mr. Ramsey. Donot go too far again.¡± Terrence''s face was very gloomy, but in front of Damarion, he didn''t lose his temper. "Kieran, listen carefully.¡± Terrence whispered calmly, "You''ll pay for all of this one day." ¡°Really? Let''s wait and see." Kieran still wore a smile, and he didn''t panic at all in front of Terrence.Kieran did not hesitate to turn around and leave with Damarion in his arms. Terrence fixed his eyes on Damarion and became more and more serious. "Stop looking at that.¡± Rebekah said helplessly, "Let''s go in.¡± Terrence''s face turned gloomy, and he went to the garage without a word. Not long after, a luxurious Aston Martin galloped away. Soon, Kieran took Damarion back to the Duran¡¯s house. "Mom." Hearing Damarion¡¯s voice, Alexa immediately lifted the quilt and stumbled off the bed. "Damar!" Once the door opened, Damarion returned to Alexa''s embrace.Alexa looked Damarion up and down.She asked with great concern, "Are you hurt?¡± "He''s fine,¡± Kieranforted Alexa. "Damarion is fine." "Mom, where''s dad?" Kieran gave a little cough.He tried to attack their attention. Alexa pursed her lips and changed the topic with embarrassment. "Damar, let''s have breakfast, OK?" ¡°Grandma has fed me food.¡± Damarion pouted unhappily. "I want daddy." "No." Alexa replied firmly, "You don''t want him.¡± ¡°Damar, would you like to y with me?¡± "No." Damarion refused without thinking, and this stunned Alexa.She wondered why Damarion was suddenly addicted to Terrence. Alexa yed with Damarion for the whole morning. After lunch, she forced herself to go to the company. Kieran could only use the wheelchair to push her out, but he was still worried. "You can work at home. Why do you have to work so hard?" "I haven''t been to thepany these days. The board of directors must beining.¡± "Keyon will handle it.¡± Alexa smiled.She suddenly asked, "Kieran, how do you know my brother?" Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. "Due to business, we got to know each other." "So that exins it." Just as they were about to get into the car, a Bugatti Veyron suddenly stopped in front of them. Kieran immediately pulled Alexa behind him as he watched Rita get out of the car. Rita was dressed in fancy clothes as she took off her sunsses and walked toward them arrogantly. "Kieran, you are indeed with this woman.¡± Rita pointed at Alexa as she gritted her teeth. "She is not a good person. Sooner orter, she will make you suffer!" Kieran ignored Rita and carefully carried Alexa into the car. Rita was even angrier, and she wanted to p Alexa in the face. "Wait for me," Kieran said gently to Alexa. "Ms. Bailey probably has something urgent to talk with you about.I''m not in a hurry." After closing the car door, Kieran stood in front of Rita coldly. The previously arrogant Rita suddenly turned pitiful. "Kieran, can you go back with me?" "Did grandpa ask you toe?" ¡°Grandpa was very angry when he found out about thepany." "Got it." Kieran was very indifferent. After that, he turned around to leave. Rita could no longer control herself. She stepped forward and held Kieran''s arm. "Kieran, I know you hate me. I shouldn''t have disturbed you." "Since you know, let go.¡± "I told myself that I can''t love you, but I can''t make it..." "You can see the psychologist,¡± Kieran said coldly as he shook off Rita''s hand. "I''m a surgeon." "Kieran, don''t you care that grandpa is sick?¡± "What did you say?¡± Alexa waited for a long time before Kieran got into the car. His face was gloomy, and he looked very upset. "What''s wrong?¡± ¡°Nothing.¡± Kieran deliberately forced a smile. "Grandpa has not been in good health recently.¡± "Is it because of business?" Alexa immediately guessed it. "No, Alexa. Don''t worry." "The investment department of Vision Group has a project with a value of 250 million dors. If you want to, you can bid at any time.¡± ¡°Alexa, I don''t want to bother you, and obviously, Terrence''s target is me.¡± "In that case, we have to face it together.¡± Alexa teased, ¡°Do you still think I''m an outsider?¡± "No, of course not!" Kieran honestly exined.But Alexa''s smile was more meaningful.She was no longer the little girl who did not know anything. How could she not know these things? Not long after, Terrence learned of the news that the Powell Group had won the bid. "Alexa is so generous to her lover.¡± Terrence sneered. "Is she that addicted to Kieran?" "Mr. Ramsey, we...¡± Edwin said tentatively, not daring toe to a conclusion. "Why should I do as they wish?" Terrence tapped the table from time to time, and he looked very ruthless. After Alexa arrived at thepany, she was busy untilte at night. There was a noise outside the door. Alexa was alert, but it was stillte. Terrence pushed the door into the room, and he could easily dodge security. "Terrence!" Alexa shouted angrily. She immediately picked up the folder and threw it over. "How dare youe?" Terrence calmly caught the folder.He said with a faint smile, "Why wouldn''t I dare toe?" "Get out!" "Did you help the Powell group win the bid?" "Well, are you questioning me?¡± ¡°Of course not.¡± Terrence said with a smile, "How dare I question you, Ms. Duran? It''s none of my business." "It''s good that you know. "Kieran doesn''t love you at all. He is just using you. Can''t you see that?" Chapter 239 Chapter 239 Chapter 239 It''s Okay If He Lies to Me "It is my business. It''s okay if he lied to me. Don''t try to gossip about him." "What? Why do you believe him so much?" "Why not?" Alexa replied indifferently and continued to work.However, she could not understand what was wrong with Terrence and why he insisted on doing the silly thing in front of her. "It''s already veryte. How long would you stay here?" Terrence waspletely different from what he was like this morning. Alexa pursed her lips and ignored him. "Alexa, are you still angry with me?" Alexa couldn''t bear it anymore and wanted to smash the keyboard on Terrence''s face. ¡°Terrence, can''t you shut up?¡± ¡°Come back with me." "Forget about it! Get out of here. I don''t want to see you.¡± Alexa touched her hair angrily. "Have you had dinner yet?" Alexa gave Terrence a dirty look impatiently and tried her best to focus on her work. Terrence sat on the sofa by the side and served himself a cup of coffee. Seeing that Terrence was not going to leave, Alexa frowned. "Why are you still here?" "Mom and Dad saw Damarion today,¡± Terrence said in a normal tone. ¡°They all like Damarion very much." Alexa suddenly stopped and turned her eyes away in embarrassment.She sighed deeply and asked him indifferently. "So what? Do you think I should leave Damarion to you?" "I just hope you cane back together,¡± Terrence spoke gently. He added, "But if you still wanted to enjoy your happy life outside, I would also wait for you." "What do you mean?" Alexa was so angry that she burst intoughter. She put on a poker face and sneered at Terrence. Alexa said, "Terrence, you just think too highly of yourself!¡± ¡°Alexa, I''ve tried my best to satisfy you.¡± Looking at Terrence''s serious face, Alexa suddenly felt disgusted and enraged. ¡°Terrence, wouldn''t you feel you are disgusting when you said so?" Alexa was serious, and she insisted on supporting herself by the table to stand up.Alexa immediately felt a terrible pain in her injured left foot. She was ufortable and frowned. But she kept silent.But Terrence immediately got up and picked her up by the waist. "What are you doing? Let me go!¡± Alexa beat his chest with all her might, but Terrence seemed to feel no pain and walked out firmly. "You can deal with your work tomorrow. I''ll send you back for a rest." Terrence smiled as if he won the battle. At that moment, he held Alexa in his arms as if he was holding the whole world. Alexa was afraid that others would see it, so she pulled Terrence''s clothes in vain to cover her face.It was not until they entered the garage that Terrence said meaningfully. "There has been no one in thepany for a long time. You don''t have to be afraid of being recognized." "I don''t want to have anything to do with you. Put me down quickly.¡± Alexa shouted angrily. But Terrence directly turned a deaf ear to it and then put her into the passenger seat. Alexa looked out of the window gloomily, and she didn''t want to say a single word to him. "Have you finished your dinner?¡± Terrence asked again. Alexa was now tired and sleepy, as well as hungry. Even so, she still did not want to show off her weakness in front of Terrence.But Terrence was very patient and did not feel upset at all. "Do you still feel your hands and feet cold when you sleep at night?Do you feel pain in your foot?" "Don''t talk to me. I don''t want to chat with you.¡± Alexa leaned against the seat as she got exhausted. By the time Terrence stopped the car at the door of the house, she had already fallen asleep peacefully leaning against the seat. Terrence gently lightened his movements and carefully held Alexa in his arms. When Brady who was waiting at the door saw it, he immediately called all the servants away.Alexa seemed to not sleep well and kept rubbing against Terrence''s arms. "We''re home." After hearing his voice, Alexa calmed down finally. After carrying Alexa back to her room, Terrence went to the kitchen to prepare supper. He then sent the dishes into Alexa''s room. Unexpectedly, she had already woken up. Terrence subconsciously moved his concerned eyes away and pretended to speak as if nothing had happened.He asked, "Did you wake up? I casually prepared some dishes for supper." ¡°I''m not hungry." Alexa slowly sat up and rubbed her forehead. She seemed extremely exhausted. ¡°I''m not hungry." "Your hands and feet almost freeze,e and drink some soup.¡± "No..." Alexa was not aware of anything and raised her hand, but she didn''t expect to just make the soupdle that Terrence handed over to her fall on the ground. "Sorry..." Alexa apologized subconsciously and seemed to be in fear. Terrence saw it and immediately held her hand to show his concern. "It doesn''t matter, forget it if you don''t want the soup.¡± Unexpectedly, Alexa pulled her hand back in fear. Terrence realized that Alexa was afraid of him. "Alexa, what''s the matter?" Terrence frowned and found Alexa quite abnormal.Her face was red and her temperature was frighteningly high. "Do you have a fever?" Terrence instantly bent down and picked her up. ¡°Let''s go to the hospital now.¡± Alexa gradually lost her mind, and she did be more and more abnormal.She suddenly grabbed Terrence''s cor tightly, as if she had grabbed a life-saving boat in the water. ¡°Terrence...¡± "Alexa. We''ll be in the hospital soon. Don''t be afraid, I''ll stay with you,¡± Terrenceforted Alexa gently. "You... you still came in the end." Her helpless tone instantly made Terrence heartbroken. He felt as if someone stabbed him with a sharp knife. "Alexa..." Before Terrence could finish speaking, the doctor and the nurse were already waiting at the door together. And then they hurried to send Alexa into the emergency room. Terrence sat alone in the empty corridor, suddenly feeling extremely guilty. In the past two years, he didn''t know what Alexa had experienced. Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. "The patient needs to be under treatment in our hospital. Please sign the file to agree." The nurse came out in a hurry. Terrence signed the file and asked. "How is my wife?" "It looks like a high fever caused by basic diseases. We are still waiting for the testing results to find the specific reason!" Before Terrence could ask more, the nurse quickly ran back into the emergency room.He held his phone tightly and did not know whom to call for a moment. After a long time, the doctor finally came out. "Mr. Ramsey, Mrs. Ramsey would be in danger tonight. If she failed to lose the fever, she would be likely to get hurt in her brain nerves." "What?" Terrence frowned and immediately panicked. "Mrs. Ramsey''s body has always been overloaded. If she was unlucky, she would run into a heartbeat disorder which may cause her to faint and lose consciousness.¡± ¡°Hurry up and send an expert group over. Don''t let anything bad happen to her!" Terrence ordered seriously. "Mr. Ramsey, Dr. Cooper will be here soon." Alexa was not in an ordinary condition. The doctors who had just rescued her were all very nervous. "Mr. Ramsey, it is also necessary for her to be apanied by her family members.¡± Chapter 240 Chapter 240 Chapter 240 She Only Trusts You Terrence pursed his thin lips tightly and struggled. He finally called Kieran. Alexa was sent to the top patient''s room and did not wake up for the whole night. Terrence had been apanying her by the bed, not daring to be bothered at all.It was not until dawn that Kieran finally arrived. "Why did youe sote?" Terrence subconsciously got up to give Kieran the seat, but Kieran just ignored him. "What on earth do you want to do with Alexa? Would you like to kill her?¡± Kieran leaned over to check on Alexa''s condition. Her high temperature made Kieran frown. "Didn''t I tell you before that Alexa was weak? Why did you annoy her and make her so excited?" "What is the problem with her body?" "What if I tell you about it? Would it be more convenient for you to hurt her?¡± Kieran argued back, and Alexa, who was lying on the bed, made a slight movement. ¡°Alexa is to wake up. She doesn''t want to see you. Get out of here,¡± Kieran said with a poker face. "Since she trusts you, please take good care of her,¡± Terrence suddenly nced at Kieran, "and don''t let her down." "I know it,¡± Kieran sneered, "you don''t love her, but there will always be someone who loves her.¡± Terrence had no way to argue back. He could only silently push the door open and leave. A momentter, Alexa slowly woke up on the bed. Kieran immediately bent over by her bed and gently held Alexa''s hand. ¡°Alexa, did you wake up?" Alexa stared at Kieran for a long time, as if she was confirming something. "Kieran?" "It''s me,¡± Kieran held her hand even more tightly, "Alexa. It''s good that you''re fine.¡± "Have you been guarding me all this time? I''m sorry that I made you worry about me again,¡± Alexa felt guilty about it. ¡°Alexa, don''t be silly.¡± Kieran fed her some warm water with a spoon and then went to open the curtains.The early morning sunlight gently came in, and a good-sounding male voice suddenly came from the door. "Dr. Powell, nice to meet you here." Kieran looked at the man who spoke arrogantly. "Dr. Cooper, why are you here?" "I was entrusted by Terrence, so I especiallye to check on Ms. Duran¡¯s condition.¡± "No, thank you. I am responsible for it now." However, Davidpletely ignored Kieran. Instead, David walked directly to Alexa''s bed and checked her examination report. Facing David, Alexa also suddenly felt a little embarrassed. "Dr. Cooper, I''m fine," Alexa said weakly. "Ms. Duran, even if you tell me that, I can''t leave easily. Terrence thought that you were unwell. Even if you didn¡¯t ept his kindness, I would not make him worry about it," David kidded on Alexa. Hearing what David said, Alexa instantly became extremely embarrassed.Kieran stepped forward to stand in front of Alexa without any exnation and guarded her against David in an alert. "Alexa needs to take a rest now. I''m here. So you can leave." "Dr. Powell, you are an expert in surgery. Why didn''t you figure out the cause of her illness since you had spent so much time on it?" ¡°I am the attending physician for Alexa. Of course, I will do my best to cure her and protect her." "Ms. Duran, you heard it." David smiled as if he was telling a joke. "He cares so much about you, so don''t try to hook up with Terrence at the same time. It''s meaningless.¡± David then turned around and left with a poker face. "Alexa, never mind. The most important thing is to take care of your body,¡± Kieranforted Alexa gently. "I know it.¡± Alexa''s voice was hoarse, and she struggled to stand up and rub the space between her eyebrows. "I have to go back.¡± ¡°Alexa. If you want to see Damarion, I''ll go and pick him up.¡± "Damarion doesn''t like to be in the hospital. I''ll go back and see him. Or he will lose his temper again.¡± However, the medicine in Alexa''s body was still working. She tried to get out of bed. But she felt as if she had stepped on cotton. "Watch out!" Kieran immediately stepped forward to support Alexa and carried her back to the bed. "Have a good rest. I''ll go back to see Damarion, okay?" Alexa knew that she was not in a good condition. She thought it over and shook her head in the end. "No, thanks. It''s not a big deal. I''ll call Keyon." "I still have an operation to do. I''ll see youter." Kieran bent over and rubbed her hair. He added, "I have already sent someone to deliver the breakfast. Remember to enjoy your meal.¡± "Okay." Alexa smiled and nodded. Kieran was gentle and kissed her on the forehead. "See you. I''m leaving now.¡± "Wait a minute.¡± Alexa stopped Kieran. Kieran looked back in surprise. "What''s wrong?¡± Alexa did not reply but helped Kieran with his cor. ¡°Alright, go ahead.¡± Kieran couldn''t help but hold her hand and reluctantly left in the end. Alexa supported her waist and slowly wandered here and there in the room for a while. The morning light was shining on her body, but she didn''t feel warm enough. She first called her assistant and then contacted Keyon on the phone. "Keyon..." Hearing that Alexa sounded abnormal, Keyon immediately stopped his work. "Alexa! You feel unwell again, right?" "No, I have been well for these two years." "I''lle to New York right now." "Keyon, it''s okay. I''m fine. I just missed you and gave you a call," Alexa''s voice became more and more muffled. ¡°Alexa, after I''m done with this matter, I''lle back to stay with you immediately." Alexa was in a bad mood and chatted with Keyon for a while, then she felt happier. But Alexa always felt something was wrong as if she had lost something. Terrence pushed the door open and entered the room. Alexa instantly became excited despite her bad mood. "Why are you here?" ¡°David said that your fever had gone. Ie to check if you are well." As Terrence spoke, he ced the breakfast he brought on the table. "There are bodyguards at the door. How can you stille in?" When Alexa finished speaking, she suddenly felt that she was very stupid to raise the question. ¡°How could they stop me? Come and have breakfast. I asked someone to prepare vegetable soup for you,¡± Terrence changed to another topic seriously. "No, thank you. Kieran has prepared breakfast for me." "Do you think his men cane in?¡± Terrence''s casual words instantly made Alexa speechless. "Do you want to enjoy it by yourself, or do you need me to feed you?" "No!" "Good." T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Terrence stood by the side and looked at Alexa with satisfaction. "I''ll watch you enjoy your breakfast." "Why are you here? Are you very free?" Alexa murmured. "I have no arrangement today. I can take care of you for the whole day." "No. I don''t need you to take care of me,¡± Alexa refused him immediately. ¡°Then take good care of your body and I won''t bother you anymore.¡± Alexa silently curled her lips and sat down at the dining table very unhappily. These delicacies were all made by five-star chefs, but Alexa didn''t enjoy the food and was not in a good mood. "Would you like to go out today?¡± Terrence asked patiently. ¡°Shall I go on a trip with you?" Chapter 241 Chapter 241 Chapter 241 She Doesn¡¯t Love Kieran ¡°If you kept a distance from me, I would be fine.¡± Alexa was indifferent, but Terrence was still passionate. ¡°The flowers in the Chrysanthemum Manor are blooming well. When you are better, I would like to take you and Damarion with me to pay a visit there.¡± ¡°No. Thanks.¡± ¡°Are you still feeling unwell?¡± ¡°No.¡± ¡°Have a good rest then.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa would try her best to answer with a single word. Terrence was smart enough to stop the topic and did not bother Alexa anymore. Seeing Terrence sitting down without permission, Alexa immediately put down the forks and looked up at him nervously. ¡°Why are you still here?¡± ¡°I¡¯m here especially to stay with you.¡± Alexa felt embarrassed and frowned unhappily. ¡°I don¡¯t need you to say with me. Kieran would misunderstand it if he knew it.¡± ¡°Kieran?¡± Terrence was so angry that heughed instead, ¡°who is Kieran? You seem to be so close to him.¡± ¡°He is my lover.¡± Terrence, who had always been tough and decisive, was instantly speechless because of what Alexa said. It became quiet in the patient¡¯s room. Alexa was about to go out for a walk when Jack Brown, Kieran¡¯s assistant, suddenly sent arge bouquet of roses over. ¡°Mrs. Powell, this is the flower Dr. Powell gave you,¡± Jack said sincerely. He added, ¡°If you felt bored, I would call the nurse to go with you for a walk downstairs. ¡°Thankyou,¡± Alexa smiled cheerfully, ¡°sorry to trouble him.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Mr. Ramsey.¡± Jack looked at Terrence seriously. However, Terrence ignored Jack. Moreover, Terrence directly snatched the flower from Alexa¡¯s hand and smashed it at the door. ¡°Son of bitch,¡± Terrence said angrily, ¡°it¡¯s so disgusting.¡± ¡°Terrence!¡± Alexa shouted in anger, and she was very dissatisfied with Terrence. ¡°Jack, you can go to work now,¡± Alexa tried hard to calm down. After Jack left, she put on a very unhappy expression again and silently nced at the roses in the corner. ¡°You broke them all,¡± Alexa med Terrence unhappily. ¡°Terrence, what are you doing?¡± ¡°Alexa, what the hell are you doing?¡± Terrence¡¯s voice sounded very calm, but there was a faint me flickering in his eyes. Terrence was enraged. ¡°Don¡¯t you know what I am doing?¡± Alexa picked up the broken rose and held it in her arms as if it was a treasure. Seeing her carefully arranging the petals, Terrence was more jealous. Terrence kept silent and directly pushed open the door to leave. ¡°Nonsense.¡± Alexa muttered unhappily. Not long after, Terrence returned. She didn¡¯t expect it. ¡°Do you have anything else to do?¡± ¡°I¡¯llpensate you.¡± Terrence opened the gift box in a business-like manner, and inside was a delicate bouquet of roses. However, Alexa was not moved at all, and she was even very angry. ¡°Do you think it¡¯s funny?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you like roses?¡± ¡°No, I don¡¯t like them.¡± Terrence was speechless and wanted to continue tofort her, but he received calls from the company several times. ¡°I have something urgent to deal with in thepany. I¡¯ll leave now.¡± Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. Alexa read the book expressionlessly,pletely pretending that Terrence was not in the room. After the drip, Alexa felt much better. It just so happened that there was a dinner party tonight, and Alexa quietly left the hospital. At night, on Glory Street. As the most popr area in New York, Glory Street had always been the most focused area for countless famous big shots. The luxurious Aston Martin was stopped in front of the red carpet, and it was remarkable. The crowd was instantly attracted, and everyone was holding their breath as they waited for the distinguished guest to appear. The bodyguard respectfully opened the car door. Alexa was dressed in a ck deep V-shaped dress and elegantly appeared in front of the camera. Alexa had long since faded from her original childlike appearance. Her morous and beautiful makeupplemented her priceless diamond jewelry, making her noble and arrogant. ¡°Alexa!¡± ra passed through the crowd, intimately holding Alexa¡¯s arm and acting like a spoiled child. ¡°I finally get you here. Let¡¯s go in quickly.¡± ¡°Kieran still has things to do in the hospital. He may not be here soon.¡± ¡°With you here, it doesn¡¯t matter whether Kieranes or not.¡± They walked side by side towards the venue. They did not expect to meet a group of well-dressed girls. The person in the lead turned out to be Athena. ¡°Well, isn¡¯t it Ms. Duran? What? Didn¡¯t you hook up with a man today?¡± Athena mocked on purpose. ¡°Athena, can¡¯t you shut up?¡± ra argued back directly. ¡°Ms. Powell, don¡¯t you know what kind of person she is?¡± Athena looked at Alexa meaningfully, then she turned to the girls around her and they smiled. ¡°Ms. Powell, you are so warm and kind. Of course, you won¡¯t know how bad she is. She is a bitch.¡± ¡°Athena, if you still don¡¯t seriously apologize to Alexa, then don¡¯t me me for calling the security guards to drive you out.¡± Athenaughed at her, ¡°What? Mr. Powell is not the one Alexa loves. As far as I know, Alexa is still hooking up with Mr. Ramsey.¡± ¡°As the dignified director of Vision Group, you are always ying such dirty tricks. How shameless you are.¡± ¡°You have slept with so many men, you must be a bitch.¡± One by one, the girls cursed at Alexa with dirty words. ra was so angry that she wanted to p them on the spot. However, Alexa was not angry at all. Instead, she gave them an indifferent look. ¡°Ms. Golding, thank you for paying so much attention to me.¡± Why was Alexa so calm? Athena was still arrogant, but she was not confident to beat Alexa now. Athena could not see through a slut like Alexa. Alexa smiled and calmly sized up the girls next to her with her deep eyes. ¡°You are all rich youngdies growing up in good families. Why were you so rude? You were no different from some local shrew.¡± The girls all immediately got angry, but no one dared to argue back. ¡°Ms. Golding, I have been too busy these days.¡± Alexa handed over a business card. She continued, ¡°If you have something to gossip about, you can directlye to Vision Group Building to chat with me.¡± ¡°Alexa!¡± ¡°I give you a chance to have a direct conversation with me. Please take the opportunity, okay?¡± Alexa smiled brightly, but Athena was scared and in a panic. If Athena dared to start the fight with Alexa officially, how would she encourage others to help her humiliating Alexa? ¡°Alexa, you are so hypocritical, I won¡¯te to you.¡± ¡°Do you think I am hypocritical?¡± Alexa slightly smiled with a poker face. ¡°What does it have to do with me?¡± ¡°Alexa, why are you so shameless¡­¡± ¡°Athena, it has be cold, take care, and don¡¯t catch a cold,¡± ra said with a face full of concern. ¡°After all, you should spend more time taking care of yourself. You are so busy gossiping about others behind their backs all day long. So you should save your time and take good care of yourself.¡± Athena¡¯s expression was extremely remarkable, but she did not dare to do anything to Alexa. Alexa and ra walked passing by Athena. Not long after, a surprising cry came from behind. ¡°Ms. Golding!¡± Chapter 242 Chapter 242 Chapter 242 Kieran Is Jealous The crowd was instantly attracted. ra and Alexa looked back at the same time and saw that Athena, who had been so aggressive just now, was now unconscious on the ground. ¡°Ah¡­¡± ra turned pale and hid behind Alexa. ra was scared, ¡°Alexa, what happened to her?¡± The medical staff had not arrived yet, and the others did not dare to take any move. Alexa was very calm and walked forward in the next second. ¡°What are you doing?¡± A girl gave a dirty look at Alexa. ¡°Save her.¡± Alexa then kept silent and directly knelt on one knee to check on Athena¡¯s situation. ¡°You are always vicious. Do you want to take the opportunity to harm Ms. Golding?¡± ¡°Shut up,¡± ra rolled her eyes unhappily at the girl, ¡°Alexa is saving her.¡± After ra finished speaking, Alexa took out some tools and skillfully started to carry out treatment for Athena. ¡°Nonsense,¡± the girl sneered at Alexa. ¡°Athena! Gosh!¡± Athena¡¯s parents heard the news and came. Diana immediately went crazy and shouted. ¡°Athena, what happened to you?¡± ¡°If you want her to survive, don¡¯t touch her.¡± Hearing it, Daniel immediately became angry. ¡°Alexa, what did you say? How dare you curse at my daughter!¡± ¡°I am just telling the truth.¡± Alexa was at thest step of her treatment for Athena. But Diana pushed Alexa away at once. ¡°Get away, don¡¯t touch my daughter!¡± Alexa didn¡¯t expect it, and she instantly got hurt on her delicate arm. A bloodstain appeared. ¡°Alexa!¡± ra worriedly stepped forward to support Alexa. Diana had already stopped Alexa¡¯s treatment for Athena. ¡°Don¡¯t¡­¡± Before Alexa finished, Daniel suddenly pped her heavily. ¡°You bullied my daughter in public. Wait for thewyer¡¯s letter!¡± ¡°Daniel, you are crazy!¡± ra was so angry that she cursed at Daniel, ¡°you are indeed a son of bitch!¡± The situation instantly became out of control. Daniel wanted to make another move, but his wrist was ruthlessly grabbed by someone. Daniel tilted his head and happened to see Terrence¡¯s extremely gloomy poker face. Daniel was so scared that his face turned pale. His right hand was still raised in the air and he was no more aggressive. Terrence was angry and fixed his eyes on Alexa¡¯s red and swollen left face. He was so furious and put on so much strength that he could directly break Daniel¡¯s bones. ¡°Did you hit her?¡± Daniel scowled miserably, not daring to answer. Diana suddenly started to beg someone behind Terrence. ¡°Mr. Powell, please save my daughter!¡± At that moment, the medical staff also arrived one after another, quickly carrying Athena on the stretcher. Only then did the crowd find that the ce where Athena had just been lying was covered in blood. ¡°It seems to be a miscarriage. In addition, the patient¡¯s heart rate was too fast, causing her to faint. She has almost lost all consciousness,¡± Kieran told the first aid doctor carefully. ¡°Got it.¡± The ambnce quickly left. Only then did Kierane back to his senses and try to check on Alexa¡¯s injury. Terrence pushed Daniel away and held Alexa¡¯s hand to check it carefully. ¡°It¡¯s fine now. I¡¯ll take you to the hospital to take care of your wound,¡± Terrenceforted Alexa gently. ¡°Alexa.¡± Kieran¡¯s voice suddenly sounded, and Terrence put on a poker face. ¡°Kieran, is Athena all right?¡± Alexa replied gently. ¡°She¡¯s fine. Let¡¯s go to the hospital now,¡± Kieran said, focusing all his attention on Alexa. ¡°Okay.¡± When Alexa finished speaking, she automatically pulled out the hand that was held by Terrence and left with Kieran without a word. ¡°Alexa.¡± ¡°What?¡± Alexa had no expression, but Terrence directly stepped forward to pick her up by the waist and walked toward the Maserati. ¡°Terrence, let go of me!¡± ¡°No.¡± Alexa did not dare to struggle too fiercely, so she had to look at Kieran with a troubled expression. ¡°Terrence! Put Alexa down,¡± Kieran held Terrence¡¯s wrist and said, ¡°I will take her to the hospital.¡± ¡°What?¡± Terrence sneered for no reason, and they both kept silent. Kieran did not want to embarrass Alexa. He held back his anger and silently moved to the side. ¡°Kieran, then let¡¯s meet in the hospital.¡± Terrence was very dissatisfied when Alexa still cared about how Kieran felt regardless of being held by him, so Terrence put more strength in his hand to make Alexa stick closer to his chest. After getting in the car, Alexa tried to keep away from Terrence and leaned against the car door. She could not feel a sense of security. ¡°Idiot.¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± Alexa couldn¡¯t wait to argue back. ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± ¡°Nonsense.¡± Alexa awkwardly ended the topic, but Terrence spoke again. ¡°You were kind enough to save her, but you were hurt like this in the end.¡± ¡°It was urgent. I had to do it by the way.¡± Alexa hid to the side again, and if she went a little further, she would be able to be out of the car. ¡°You look quite charming today,¡± Terrence praised Alexa in a t tone. ¡°It¡¯s already autumn, aren¡¯t you feeling cold?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not cold.¡± Alexa said as she adjusted her shawl unnaturally. After arriving at the hospital, Terrence did not immediately push the door open and get out of the car. Instead, he found a coat and put it on Alexa. ¡°Put it on.¡± ¡°Get out of the car,¡± Alexa immediately changed the topic, ¡°Kieran and the others should have arrived.¡± ¡°Do you only care about Kieran?¡± Terrence said unhappily. ¡°Are you so that into him?¡± Alexa put on a strange expression as she tilted her head and nodded very seriously. ¡°Yes.¡± Terrence felt quite upset, and he unhappily followed Alexa to get out of the car. Just then, Kieran came to them. Terrence got very jealous suddenly at that moment. He was almost out of control. ¡°Alexa, let¡¯s hurry in. The injury on your arm looks very serious.¡± Seeing Alexa being so close to ra, Terrence could not cover his feelings. He silently followed behind Alexa. When Kieran approached Alexa slightly, he immediately pulled Alexa over. ¡°Terrence.¡± Alexa shouted in a low voice and red at him with a warning. Kieran saw all that happened, but he did not dare to do anything to stop it. Even if Kieran was Alexa¡¯s boyfriend in name, in Kieran¡¯s mind, he seemed to have never reced Terrence. They finally arrived at the treatment room. Kieran finally seized the opportunity to iste Terrence outside. Kieran and Alexa were in the room alone. Looking at Kieran seriously treating the wound on her hand, Alexa was sure that Kieran was unhappy. ¡°Mr. Powell¡­¡± Before she finished, Kieran stared at her with resentment. Alexa immediately called Kieran again. ¡°Kieran.¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Kieran answered. ¡°Are you unhappy?¡± Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. Kieran carefully bandaged her wound and then turned back to avoid her eyes. ¡°My girlfriend and her ex-husband are still close to each other. Is it something that I should be happy about?¡± Chapter 243 Chapter 243 Chapter 243 You Have Changed Alexa did not expect Kieran to get mad because of this. After he finished speaking, he picked up the medicine cab and avoided her. ¡°Don¡¯t take it personally. I overthought,¡± Kieran said gloomily. Lowering her head and seeing the neat badges, Alexa put on a light smile. Kieran refused to look at her until he was hugged from behind. ¡°Mr. Powell?¡± Alexa¡¯s voice was soft. Then, she changed the way she addressed Kieran. ¡°Kieran.¡± Kieran cleared his throat. Kieran got tense. His voice turned hoarse. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be mad at me, please.¡± Feeling her curves, Kieran was turned on. ¡°I¡¯m not mad at you.¡± ¡°Then smile at me,¡± Alexa teased. ¡°Stop messing around.¡± Kieran let go of her and finally cracked a smile. Alexa sat down, covered her arm, and groaned. This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org. ¡°Are you alright? Does it hurt?¡± Kieran went over nervously to see whether she was fine. ¡°Dr. Powell, your smile is the best cure.¡± Breathing a sigh of relief, Kieran gently pinched her cheek. ¡°Don¡¯t y such a trick on me, silly girl.¡± ¡°Are you asking me as my boyfriend?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a doctor¡¯s advice,¡± Kieran said, grinning. They went out when Alexa¡¯s injury was treated. Seeing Alexa straightening her clothes, Terrence pulled her over unhappily. ¡°What were you doing inside? Why did it take so long?¡± ¡°Bandaging my wound. Let go,¡± Alexa¡¯s answer was curt, stained. Alexa cheered up a bit when she saw Brenton, the only one in the ward apart from Athena. ¡°It¡¯s been a while. How is she? Is it serious?¡± Alexa asked softly. Brenton nced at her with his t voice. ¡°Athena is pregnant. But it is too dangerous for her because of her congenital heart disease.¡± ¡°Well, get some treatment. She will get better.¡± Alexa had good intentions. Unexpectedly, Brenton got up and looked crossed. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that you don¡¯t know.¡± Alexa was puzzled when she heard the question. ¡°Know what?¡± ¡°Everyone in New York knows that Athena is pregnant. Why did you argue with her in public?¡± Brenton was trying to restrain himself. Alexa could not wrap her head around it. ¡°There must be some misunderstanding. I did not argue with her,¡± Alexa smiled politely. ¡°You changed so much. Why are you¡­¡± Brenton bottled up the rest of the sentence in disappointment. ¡°Athena almost fainted from crying. She said that you bullied her. Everyone saw that.¡± ¡°Brenton, are you crazy? I thought you knew better,¡± ra shouted with indignation. The smile on Alexa¡¯s face disappeared. She gave Brenton the cold shoulder. ¡°I didn¡¯t make things difficult for her. She is an adult who can make well informed decisions and be responsible for herself.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you know how she egged on others to insult Alexa?¡± ra said boldly. ¡°I only know¡­¡± ¡°What? You know the truth?¡± Alexa sneered. Diana and Daniel pushed open the door and got in. Diana¡¯s face fell when she saw Alexa. She pounced on Alexa without any hesitation. Diana screamed, ¡°You are such a bitch! You are a pathetic woman. No one wants you. How dare you flirt with Brenton!¡± ¡°What are you doing!¡± It was the right timing. Terrence¡¯s shout sounded at the doorstep. He and Kieran entered the room and stood in front of Alexa and ra to protect them. The atmosphere got tense. Alexa was smoothing her hair that was tousled from her physical encounters with Diana, self- possessed. ¡°Daniel, how dare you!¡± Terrence was outraged. Emotions got the better of him. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, my daughter was still unconscious because of her. All we want is an exnation.¡± ¡°Exnation? Come off it. We¡¯re not here to give you an exnation. I¡¯m asking you to apologize.¡± Terrence¡¯s voice was icy. ¡°Alexa is a Powell. No one can hurt her.¡± Kieran¡¯s face darkened as he red at Brenton. ¡°There is surveince footage and the witnesses. If you are still unconvinced, we will see you in court.¡± Kieran was clear-headed. ¡°If that was the case, why would Alexa prick my daughter with needles? You¡¯re not a good doctor. You don¡¯t know better,¡± Diana retorted. Alexa listened without giving any exnation. ¡°Is she a witch?¡± Daniel narrowed his eyes. Brenton wanted to say something, but he bottled it up as he avoided Alexa¡¯s gaze. All the evidence showed that Alexa was the culprit. Brenton just didn¡¯t know whether he should believe Alexa or not. ¡°I was left with no choice. If I had not done that, she would have died,¡± Alexa said casually. ¡°Bullshit! Do you know anything about medicine? You don¡¯t!¡± Daniel snapped. ¡°Believe it or not. It is up to you.¡± Alexa shrugged nonchntly. Kieran remained silent because her treatment was not conventional and he had not seen it before. However, Terrence trusted Alexa. Terrence nced at them impatiently. ¡°Don¡¯t you understand? My wife saved her.¡± The fact that Terrence spoke up for her surprised Alexa, who was a bit touched. ¡°Mr. Ramsey¡­¡± Terrence interrupted Daniel, ¡°Alright. You either apologize or I will take you to court. You have two hours to think about it.¡± With that, he wrapped his arm around Alexa¡¯s shoulder and walked out with her. Kieran¡¯s gaze flickered, but he did not follow them. Alexa was very awkward. ¡°Why do you trust me so much? No one believes me.¡± Alexa pretended not to be unconcerned. ¡°Why not?¡± Terrence stopped, pushed her against the wall, and lifted her chin. ¡°Alexa, remember. You mean a lot to me.¡± Chapter 244 Chapter 244 Chapter 244 Go to the Hotel Alexa pursed her lips, embarrassed. She pushed Terrence away and hurried into the elevator. They were the only ones in the cramped elevator. Terrence followed closely behind her. Alexa pretended to look at the disy screen as if nothing had happened. ¡°Alexa, are you free tonight?¡± Terrence was careful, like a kid asking for praise from his parents. ¡°I still have work to do.¡± ¡°You can do it tomorrow. You should have some rest now.¡± Alexa pushed away strands of hair on her temples and knew that her makeup was smudged without looking at the mirror. This made Alexa even more insecure and unconfident to confront Terrence. She said dully, ¡°I know. Do not lecture me.¡± Terrence got a bit anxious. ¡°I care about you, Alexa. Look at you now. How can I leave you alone?¡± Alexa looked down to examine herself, only to find that her neckline was very low. As she had an allergy, red marks were visible on her neck. ¡°It is not what you think.¡± Alexa blushed, her voice trembling. ¡°What did I think?¡± Terrence got closer and put his arm around her shoulder. Alexa felt that the air got much hotter. Caught off guard, Alexa stayed in his arms. Terrence¡¯s profound gaze went all the way down and settled on her red marks. He knew they were not hickeys, but inexplicably, Terrence felt jealous. Terrence elongated the word a bit. ¡°Tell me.¡± Alexa was just about to speak when her phone buzzed and a notification popped up. She heaved a sigh of relief and hurried out of the door. ¡°Alexa, go to my ce tonight.¡± ¡°No way. I have a son and a boyfriend. Who gives you the right to take me home?¡± Alexa refused. ¡°Well, if you don¡¯t want to go to my home, let¡¯s go to the hotel.¡± Alexa was so pissed off that she stopped. ¡°You are such a jerk!¡± ¡°You are so beautiful when you are swearing. I like it.¡± Terrence took Alexa¡¯s hand and kissed the back of it. Alexa¡¯s face fell, but Terrence became even bolder. ¡°Your beloved boyfriend is not here. You can only go with me.¡± ¡°I have my car.¡± ¡°I insist on driving you home.¡± With that, Terrence picked up Alexa and put her down on the passenger seat. ¡°We used to be a couple. Don¡¯t you want to talk about those old times?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to talk. I don¡¯t like you,¡± Alexa said stubbornly. ¡°It does not matter. I like you.¡± Terrence did not flinch. Alexa still found thetter part of the sentence confusing. She even suspected that she had misheard. Terrence said he liked her? Terrence liked her? ¡°Is that so? I am so down on my luck,¡± Alexa said coolly. Terrence chuckled and then remained silent.He brought Alexa back to the vi in the city center. ¡°Take a shower.¡± Terrence found a sleeping robe, threw it to her, leaned against the door framezily, and sized Alexa up. ¡°The high heels don¡¯t chafe this time, do they? Who made this dress? It doesn¡¯t look good on you,¡± Terrence said casually. Alexa¡¯s dress was custom-made by a renowned designer. Terrence looked down on it just out of pure jealousy. He did not want other men to know how beautiful she was or to chase her. Plus, Terrence was sure that Alexa chose the dress for Kieran. This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°I like it. It is none of your business.¡± Alexa was grumpy, went around him, and got into the bathroom. Terrence chuckled and decided to make some soup for her. When Alexa was done, Terrence brought in hot soup for her. ¡°Drink it while it¡¯s hot. I¡¯ll dry your hair,¡± Terrence said. ¡°No, I can do it myself.¡± Alexa avoided Terrence¡¯s touch, but he scooped up some soup and put it in her mouth. ¡°I know you have trouble sleeping and your hands are often icy. So I visited a senior doctor, who told me to make these medicinal dishes for you.¡± Instead of refusing, Alexa took a sip. Although it was a medicinal dish, the soup tasted good. She liked it very much. ¡°Does it taste good?¡± Alexa nodded. Terrence spoon-fed her. After eating half a bowl, Alexa was too full to take any. But she did not want to waste it. ¡°I will drink the rest tomorrow morning.¡± Terrence drank the rest of the soup, without saying anything. ¡°I will make you fresh soup tomorrow.¡± There was a trace of disbelief in Alexa¡¯s eyes, but nothing came out of her mouth. After her hair was dry, she went to sleep. Terrence got in her bed very soon. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Alexa said nervously. He wrapped around Alexa¡¯s slender waist with his strong arm and buried his head into her neck. The body wash was customized by a senior perfumer. Having used the body wash, Alexa now carried a faint orchid scent. ¡°I can¡¯t fall asleep. I need to hug you.¡± ¡°Stupid excuses. I can¡¯t sleep if you are here?¡± Alexa pushed him with her elbow. ¡°I haven¡¯t slept for a few nights.¡± Alexa sensed a hint of deep exhaustion in his hoarse voice. ¡°Many women want to sleep with you. Unfortunately, I am not one of them.¡± Terrence let out augh. ¡°Are you jealous?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not. I was just stating a fact,¡± Alexa denied. ¡°I haven¡¯t had any women. You are the only one.¡± Terrence promised seriously. ¡°Come off it. You are never short of women. Models or celebrities.You pick whoever you want.¡± Alexa had a straight face, but Terrence felt much better. ¡°You still won¡¯t admit it?¡± He became bolder. Alexa pursed her lips. ¡°Admit what?¡± ¡°You¡¯re jealous.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not jealous. Why should I?¡± Alexa emphasized thatst part. ¡°You should ask yourself. You don¡¯t like me, do you? Why are you paying so much attention to me?¡± Terrence said with great interest. She said with an undertone, ¡°Forget it. I don¡¯t have time for you.¡± ¡°Are you mad? Then I won¡¯t say anything. Is that okay?¡± Terrence asked. Chapter 245 Chapter 245 Chapter 245 Breakup With Him The two of them stopped talking at the same time, and the room immediately became quiet. Terrence had been holding Alexa all the time. Alexa felt awkward, but in the end, she still fell asleep. The next morning, there was no one by her side. Alexa got up to change her clothes feebly. She did not expect that, just after she took off her robe, Terrence would appear in front of her without any warning. ¡°Ah¡­¡± Alexa cried out in panic. She immediately pulled over the quilt to cover herself. Terrence calmly sized her up. The sunlight shone through the window gauze on his body, diluting his calmness for no reason. It seemed that he looked more human. This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org. Alexa couldn¡¯t help but think of that. In the next second, panic swept through her heart again. She was naked now. Terrence¡¯s gaze on her was strangely bold and passionate. Alexa felt that the current situation was very bad. ¡°What are you looking at?¡± Alexa said awkwardly. ¡°Turn around. I am changing my clothes.¡± ¡°Your hand is injured. It¡¯s not convenient to get changed.¡± ¡°It¡¯s even more inconvenient with you here.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll help you,¡± Terrence said out of kindness. ¡°Don¡¯te over!¡± Alexa was like an angry cat. If Terrence got a little closer, she would definitely bite him without hesitation. However, Terrence stopped 3 feet away from her. ¡°Get changed and go downstairs to eat,¡± Terrence said simply, ¡°Be careful not to hurt your hand.¡± ¡°Got it,¡± Alexa said grumpily. Due to the injury in her hand, it took Alexa half an hour to appear downstairs. Terrence sat patiently on the sofa and read the financial morning report. He silently looked up and nced at her. ¡°Go eat breakfast.¡± Terrence was not used to the servants here, so all the dishes were made by himself. After Alexa sat down, she took a small bite of the dumplings indifferently, and Terrence immediately watched her expression quietly. Seeing that Alexa did not have anyments, he coughed lightly. He pretended to ask casually, ¡°Does it taste not good?¡± ¡°Yup,¡± Alexa said in a t tone. ¡°Alexa, you¡¯re lying.¡± Terrence was speechless. Alexa paused a bit and looked at Terrence in confusion. What did his aggrieved tone mean? Terrence walked to her side and sat down like a wronged child. ¡°They are all made by me,¡± he said with a grievance, ¡°If you don¡¯t like them, I¡¯ll ask the chef to make food for you.¡± What? Why would he be so serious about such a small matter? ¡°I don¡¯t dislike them,¡± Alexa replied honestly, ¡°They¡¯re delicious.¡± ¡°Then give me a chance to cook for you every day?¡± ¡°I prefer no.¡± Alexa immediately refused, ¡°I have a chef.¡± Who was Terrence? He was a top big shot in the business circle. Faced with his shameless look, Alexa had nothing to say. ¡°You don¡¯t have to care so much about me,¡± Alexa said in a low voice sincerely. ¡°You have your life, and I have mine. We don¡¯t have to be tied together.¡± ¡°What do you mean by this?¡± Terrence stood up and looked a little angry. ¡°It means what it literally means.¡± ¡°Do you think you can send me away by saying a few words? Then, you can be with Kieran without any worries?¡± Well, it seemed that he got it wrong. ¡°I mean¡­¡± ¡°Alexa, I don¡¯t care what you mean,¡± Terrence unreasonably asserted. ¡°Anyway, I am willing to be good to you. You either ept it or suck it. It has nothing to do with me.¡± A good breakfast became a total mess again. Alexa silently drank a big mouthful of warm milk, and Terrence stormed out of the door in a sh. After she cleaned up the mess, she also went to thepany. However, Terrence, who had gone out of the door ten minutes ago, was now waiting at the door in his car. Alexa did not dare to provoke him again. She just quickened her pace and walked past him as if not seeing him. However, she had only taken a few steps when Terrence immediately drove the car to catch up with her. ¡°Alexa, get in the car.¡± Terrence leaned against the window and stared at her, his face turning purple. ¡°No,¡± Alexa said. ¡°People areing and going here. It¡¯ll be bad if others see us being together.¡± ¡°Who saw it?¡± Terrence was so angry that he sneered. ¡°Who dares to see it?¡± ¡°Just leave.¡± She was now at the center of controversy. If she got involved with Terrence again, it would be harder to exin then. However, Terrence suddenly stepped on the elerator and with a whoosh, his car stopped in front of her. ¡°Get in the car,¡± he said through gritted teeth. Alexa had no choice but to obediently push the door open and get in the car. Terrence seemed to be in a very bad mood. Alexa looked at her mobile phone and tried not to communicate with him. Terrence looked at her from time to time, some unknown emotion hidden in his deep eyes. The car drove into the garage of Vision Group, and Alexa suddenly received a phone call. ¡°Kieran?¡± Her tone and face instantly softened, which just pissed off Terrence. ¡°I¡¯ve already arrived at thepany. OK. See you tonight.¡± They were about to go on a date at night? Terrence pursed his thin lips tightly, directly grabbed the back of Alexa¡¯s head, and ruthlessly bit her soft red lips. ¡°Umm¡­¡± A groan escaped Alexa uncontrobly. Kieran on the other side of the line immediately understood what was going on here. ¡°Alexa¡­¡± However, no matter how many times he shouted, Alexa did not respond at all. Instead, he just heard more and more rapid breathing. Terrence suddenly grabbed Alexa¡¯s phone and smashed it into the back seat. Then, he put the seat down. With Terrence above her, Alexa tried to struggle but in vain. The atmosphere in the carriage became more and more ambiguous. ¡°Break up with Kieran.¡± Terrence bit her earlobe neither lightly nor heavily. ¡°Alexa, don¡¯t challenge my bottom line.¡± Alexa¡¯s eyes were red as she panted heavily beneath him. She wanted to p him, but she found that she had no strength at all. ¡°Go away¡­¡± Alexa ordered in a hoarse voice. ¡°I¡¯ll pick you up after work tonight. Don¡¯t run around.¡± The implication of Terrence¡¯s words was self-evident. Alexa was furious and then pushed the door open to get out of the car. Her dress and hair were in a mess. Alexa quickly tidied herself up and then walked into the exclusive elevator with a normal face as if nothing had happened. Terrence sat in the car for a long time before driving away. He didn¡¯t expect a Bugatti Veyron toe right in front of him. He immediately recognized that it was Kieran¡¯s car and went over there without thinking. The two luxury cars passed by very dangerously. Kieran¡¯s face got unprecedentedly cold. After parking the car, Kieran couldn¡¯t wait to go to Alexa¡¯s office. Although she looked no different from usual, Kieran could still feel that something was wrong with her. ¡°Alexa.¡± ¡°Kieran?¡± Alexa suddenly came back to her senses and seemed to be a little guilty. ¡°You¡¯re here? Why didn¡¯t you tell me beforehand?¡± Chapter 246 Chapter 246 Chapter 246 But You Are My Wife ¡°Never mind.¡± Kieran smiled gently. ¡°You didn¡¯t answer my call afterward. I was very worried, so I came over to take a look.¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Alexa replied, and then realized that the phone was thrown away by Terrence. This bastard! She cursed in her heart and forced an apologetic smile at Kieran. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I had a situation just now.¡± Alexa went forward to hold his hand and took Kieran to the sofa. ¡°Have a seat. I¡¯ll go get some coffee. Still ck coffee?¡± Kieran silently nodded. After thinking for a long time, he still said with difficulty, ¡°Alexa, you were at his cest night?¡± Alexa was stunned. The hot coffee was sshed over her hand, and she subconsciously screamed in pain. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Kieran stepped forward to hold her hand and took the hot coffee cup. ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± Alexa said with self-usation, ¡°It¡¯s just that I¡¯m too stupid.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine,¡± Kieran said to her dotingly. ¡°Let me see if it¡¯s serious.¡± After saying that, Kieran skillfully took out the medicine cab from the side and patiently treated her wound. Alexa¡¯s eyes were watery as if there were tears again. ¡°I think¡­ I¡¯m very useless.¡± ¡°Alexa.¡± Kieran frowned slightly. ¡°Don¡¯t say that. You are very good.¡± ¡°Last night, I was at Terrence¡¯s ce.¡± Alexa¡¯s voice was deep and low-spirited. Kieran suddenly regretted asking such a question. ¡°Alexa, I don¡¯t mean to me you.¡± Kieran lowered his voice, and his facial expression was not very clear. ¡°I am just worried that you will be bullied.¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Alexa did not even dare to meet Kieran¡¯s eyes. She was afraid that she would involuntarily fall into his eyes and then get out of control. However, before she could avoid him, Kieran suddenly got up and hugged her. There was a faint scent in his warm embrace. The gentle and indifferent scent made him appear more reserved. ¡°Kieran¡­¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me?¡± Kieran¡¯s voice was very gentle, like an intoxicating autumn sun. ¡°I knew you would be afraid and tangled.¡± He buried his head deeply into her neck. ¡°Tell me, we¡¯ll face it together, okay?¡± ¡°But a person like me is not worth doing so.¡± Alexa silently raised his hand to wipe away his tears, but her sobbing voice was so clear. ¡°You should meet a better person. How can you fall with me?¡± ¡°Alexa¡­¡± Alexa felt Kierannd a warm and soft kiss on the side of her neck as if he was whispering. ¡°I am very grateful that you chose me in the vast sea of people, so I am often uneasy. I am afraid of losing you.¡± Alexa choked so hard that tears had already been over her face. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m really sorry,¡± she apologized helplessly. ¡°Alexa. You¡¯ve never done anything wrong to me.¡± After Kieran finished speaking, he held her shoulder and looked at her with utmost sincerity. ¡°You are very good. You deserve to be loved,¡± he said slowly, ¡°This is also why I have waited for you for so many years.¡± ¡°Kieran,¡± Alexa asked in astonishment. ¡°You have been waiting for me all this time?¡± ¡°I knew you woulde.¡± After a long time, Kieran smiled with satisfaction. ¡°It seems that my waiting is so worth it.¡± Alexa realized that the matter that had troubled her for many years finally had an answer. Terrence was no big deal. It wouldn¡¯t be hard to forget him. After she calmed down, she continued to deal with thepany¡¯s affairs. Kieran still had something to do in the hospital, so he left first. After that, Terrence called her several times in a row. Alexa refused to answer all of them and cklisted him. Shortly, a strange person called her. Alexa helplessly picked up the call and wanted to talk it through with Terrence. Unexpectedly, he took the lead to speak. ¡°Come downstairs,¡± Terrence ordered in a cold voice. ¡°I have no time.¡± Alexa frowned, ¡°If you have something to say, just say it.¡± ¡°I know Kieran went up just now.¡± Terrence¡¯s tone was gloomy and cold. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you not to contact him?¡± ¡°He is my boyfriend. What does our matter have to do with you?¡± Terrence was obviously choked with anger, and his attitude was much colder. ¡°Alexa, I asked you toe down.¡± ¡°You are so unreasonable.¡± Alexa swore through gritted teeth. After hanging up the phone, she just left it alone. However, a few minutester, Aubrey rushed into the room. ¡°Ms. Duran, Mr. Ramsey is downstairs,¡± she said. ¡°Just ignore him.¡± Alexa did not even raise her head. ¡°But he scared away all our customers.¡± ¡°What did you say?!¡± Alexa immediately rushed downstairs. Terrence, as expected, was upying the rest area in an imposing manner. At the moment, he was leisurely watching her. ¡°Terrence, what are you doing?¡± ¡°Nothing,¡± he said lightly, ¡°I¡¯llpensate you ten times the damage this morning.¡± The surrounding people all gasped. They had never seen such a generous person. Only Alexa remainedposed and looked fiercely cold. ¡°Can you go with me now?¡± Terrence smiled lightly and stretched out his right hand to her like a gentleman. ¡°Where are you going?¡± ¡°You¡¯ll know when we get there.¡± Terrence did not give Alexa any chance to consider. As soon as he finished speaking, he held her hand without any exnation. In front of so many people, Alexa did not want to make things too ugly, so she had to compromise. ¡°Don¡¯t y tricks with me,¡± she said in a low voice. However, Terrence¡¯s fake smile had disappeared and was reced by coldness. Alexa opened the door of the back seat. Just as she sat in, Terrence grabbed her hand and squeezed in impatiently. ¡°Terr¡­¡± Alexa cried out in panic, but the next moment, the unfinished word was blocked by Terrence. His kiss was so violent that it was almost biting, but Terrence wanted to make her feel pain so that she would learn a lesson. ¡°Umm¡­¡± Alexa desperately struggled, and the wound on his lips that had not yet healed was bitten by Terrence again, and the smell of blood gushed out again. However, before this matter could be resolved, Terrence began to move freely around her waist and then reached into her clothes. ¡°Don¡¯t! Don¡¯t¡­¡± Alexa begged him in despair. Terrence suddenly let go of her and kissed the side of her neck. He muttered in a muffled voice, ¡°Alexa, are you afraid of us being seen?¡± What did he mean¡­ ¡°Terrence, you¡¯re crazy¡­¡± Alexa¡¯s voice was trembling with anger. Terrence¡¯s smile was a little morbid. He stroked her face frantically as if he was talking to a child. ¡°You just never listen.¡± ¡°I am not your ything.¡± ¡°But you are my wife.¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes were full of affection, but he did not dare to show it in front of Alexa. His love would only scare her away. ¡°Alexa, Alexa¡­¡± Terrence only called her name over and over again and did not make the next move. Chapter 247 Chapter 247 Chapter 247 Terrence, You¡¯re So Shameless! Alexa seized the opportunity and suddenly pushed Terrence away. She panted and covered her cor. She looked at Terrence with fear and hatred in her eyes. Terrence, you¡¯re so shameless! Terrence calmly got up and tidied up his clothes, bing the polite man he used to be. Beast! Alexa gritted her teeth and cursed in her heart, but she didn¡¯t dare to do anything to him. The space in the car was too small. If Terrence really wanted to do anything to her, she couldn¡¯t escape at all. Alexa pondered for a moment. Then, she had to huddle up in a corner obediently. Her men had been following Terrence¡¯s car all the way, which made Alexa feel a little more at ease. Terrence, where exactly are you taking me?¡± Alexa said with a calm and indifferent face, ¡°I don¡¯t have much time. I can only give you at most ten minutes.¡±What a coincidence! I don¡¯t have much time either,¡± Terrence replied gently. Alexa had no option but to just sit aside in anger. Not long after, the driver stopped the car in front of a factory. Alexa recognized at a nce that this was the old factory. She looked at Terrence in astonishment, but he was still expressionless and calm. Get out of the car. Alexa followed behind Terrence and looked at the factory. She felt so familiar with everything here, but she also felt a bit strange when standing here now. Alexa. Hearing Terrence calling her, Alexa immediately stopped. Unexpectedly, she just bumped into his broad back. Alexa heard Terrence sigh helplessly, and then she was pulled to the front by him. What are you doing? Just as Alexa finished her words, she saw an old but elegant figure walking toward them.Mrs. Hansom Alexa eximed in disbelief. After confirming that the person was really Mary, she immediately ran over. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Ms. Duran.Mary stood in the sunlight with a smile and opened her arms to Alexa in anticipation. Alexa didn¡¯t stop at all and directly hugged Mary tightly in her arms. Mrs. Hansom, I¡¯ve never thought I would meet you again¡­ Me either, Ms. Duran.¡± Mary¡¯s clear eyes were filled with emotions. ¡°It has been ten years.¡± Terrence stood at the side and looked at them. Alexa was clearly very happy at the moment, but he was a bit upset. After all, Alexa had never been so sincerely happy by his side.Mr. Ramsey.Mrs. Hansom.¡± Terrence nodded politely.Alexa nced at him meaningfully and subconsciously held Mary¡¯s hand.Mrs. Hansom, why are you here?¡± Alexa asked curiously.I have to thank Mr. Ramsey for all of this.¡± Mary smiled and raised her other hand to hold Terrence. ¡°The factory re-opened some time ago. Ms. Duran, you were too busy, so Mr. Ramsey asked me to help take care of it.¡± I see. Alexa had mixed feelings in her heart, but she was still happy that the factory could open again. Let¡¯s go inside now. I¡¯ve already prepared the coffee for you, Mary said and led them into the house, ¡°and thesnacks that you used to like.¡± Alexa responded as she quietly observed Terrence¡¯s reaction. He was not as gloomy and cold as he used to be. Instead, he was talking andughing with Mary, who was obviously in a very good mood now. After sitting down in the VIP room, Mary personally went to the kitchen to prepare some food. Terrence seized the opportunity and sat down next to Alexa. She subconsciously wanted to leave, but Terrence directly grabbed her by the waist, so Alexa was unable to move away. How are you going to thank me?¡± he asked with interest. No matter how much you¡¯ve spent, I¡¯ll pay you back ten times. Now let go of me!¡± Alexa deliberately replied to Terrence with the same words he had said. However, Terrence wasn¡¯t angry at all. Instead, he looked very happy.Money? I don¡¯t need money at all!Hurry up and let go of me. Mrs. Hansom wille back soon.Let¡¯s have dinner together tonight. Remember to bring Damar over.¡± Terrence¡­ Alexa warned him in a cold voice. Terrence put his hand on her waist gently, as if he was plotting something bad. Mrs. Hansom ising back. Do you want her to see it? Damn it! Alexa red at him fiercely. Finally, she gritted her teeth and agreed with Terrence¡¯s proposal. The moment Terrence released her, Mary pushed open the door and entered the room. Alexa breathed a sigh of relief and pretended that nothing had happened as she talked to Mary. It turned out that not only had the factory resumed production long ago, but Terrence even helped to get a few more new businesses. After leaving the factory, Alexa followed behind Terrence slowly without saying a word.Do you have anything to say?¡±Terrence suddenly spoke, and Alexa looked a bit flustered as if her secret was found by someone.No,¡± Alexa firmly denied. ¡°But why did you help to handle the problems of the factory?¡± Well, I wanted to do so.How did you contact Mrs. Hansom? For so many years, I have never heard anything about her.¡± Terrence¡¯s face changed a bit when he heard that. Fortunately, Alexa was now standing behind his back, so she didn¡¯t find Are you questioning my ability? I don¡¯t dare,¡± Alexa said perfunctorily. Terrence pushed her into the passenger seat and finally started the car himself. Let¡¯s go pick up our son now. Terrence, Damar doesn¡¯t like strangers. Alexa looked unhappy. Obviously, she didn¡¯t want Terrence to see Damarion.Ms. Duran, you¡¯re a businesswoman,¡± Terrence said unhurriedly. ¡°How can you not keep your word? Besides, I¡¯m not a stranger to Damar.¡± Terrence paused and gently smiled. ¡°I¡¯m his father.You¡¯re just a sperm donor, or I can also give you money for your sperm donation.¡± Alexa looked at him calmly. The car suddenly stopped by the roadside. Blue veins stood out on Terrence¡¯s hand, which was holding the steering wheel tightly. He stiffly turned his head with a gloomy face. Alexa, what did you say? ¡°What? I¡¯m just telling the truth,¡± Alexa said, unafraid of what would happen next. Is this also how you exin to Damar Of course not. I just told him that his father died a long time ago, Alexa said as she lightly smoothed her hair. Not only did she not feel that there was anything wrong with it, but the smile on her face also became even brighter. It could be seen that she was really happy. Terrence¡¯s face was dark with rage at this time. Rage bubbled just below the surface of his mind. He parked the car in the vi garage and then hurriedly pulled Alexa into the house. Terrence, what are you doing? Alexa had to trot to catch up with him, and here was totally a strange ce for her, so Alexa really felt a bit insecure. Terrence kicked open the door of the room, pushed her down on the bed, and then pressed his whole body against her directly. ¡°Alexa, I don¡¯t mind telling you how to teach our son about his birth correctly.¡± After saying that, he kissed the back of her hand with affection, but there was a bad smile hidden in his eyes. Maybe we should just continue what happened in the car. Alexa¡¯s face changed greatly. She was angry and flustered as she leaned to the side to avoid his touch. Terrence, are you crazy? Chapter 248 Chapter 248 Chapter 248 You¡¯d Better Hate Me Awfully ¡°Alexa, what exactly are you thinking?¡± Terrence suddenly stopped his actions and asked her in a very upset manner. Alexa was disgusted as she raised her hand and ruthlessly wiped her lips. She answered angrily. ¡°What do I think? Shouldn¡¯t you be very clear? Terrence, it¡¯s impossible for us to be together anymore!¡± She originally thought that Terrence would give up, but he held her wrist even more firmly. ¡°We will know only after trying.¡± ¡°Hey!¡± This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org. Alexa subconsciously screamed, her waist felt cold, as her clothes were instantly torn apart by Terrence. When the pain reached its peak, Alexa¡¯s nails dug deep into Terrence¡¯s solid shoulder and scratched out several shocking scars. ¡°Alexa, open your eyes and look at me!¡± He gripped her hands and ordered fiercely. The wildness hidden in the depths of his heart was surging out uncontrobly. Alexa had tears in her eyes. Even though she was in great pain, she did not let out a trace of weakness and beg for mercy. ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Alexa squeezed out a few words with difficulty. ¡°I hate¡­ I hate you¡­¡± Terrence¡¯s face instantly became gloomy. He kissed her red and swollen lips in an evil way, and his breath was unstable as he murmured. ¡°It¡¯s good that you hate me. You¡¯d better hate me awfully.¡± It was not until evening that Terrence finally walked away from the weak Alexa and slowly walked to the bathroom. She was so tired that she could not open her eyes, and the ck and blue marks on her body all indicated the madness and plunder just now. Alexa silently pulled the quilt over her scarred body. She forced herself to close her eyes, but her mind was full of feelings of humiliation and unwillingness. Everything just now was simply in a fog!She had just promised Kieran in the morning that she would get over Terrencepletely. But just now¡­ Alexa slowly moved her painful body to take the phone. Kieran called her more than a dozen times. It was as if she had been strangled by the neck, and she could not speak. Alexa struggled for a long time, but before she could make up her mind to call Kieran back, Terrence came out of the bathroom. He wrapped a bath towel from around his waist, and his neat short hair was dripping with water. Drops of water flowed down his perfect curves, adding a bit of irresistible tension and temptation. ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Alexa weakly called out to him, her voice hoarse. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to sleep for a while?¡± Terrence looked at her with a greedy gaze and a lot of elusive emotions. ¡°Get out,¡± Alexa ordered hatefully. ¡°There is medicine outside. I will bring it in for you.¡± Hearing him say this seriously, Alexa was so angry that she wanted to p him. There was medicine outside. So he did this with other women, didn¡¯t he? Alexa not only hated him now but also felt disgusted. She changed her clothes and suddenly thought of something. She immediately took the backpack and rummaged for something. When Terrence came in with the medicine, Alexa just swallowed a few pills. Seeing the medicine box in her hand, Terrence immediately stepped forward nervously. ¡°Alexa, what are you taking?¡± His tone was obviously flustered. Alexa did not have the time to put the things back. Terrence quickly snatched the medicine box. When he saw the words ¡°morning-after pills¡±, his eyes immediately burst with a monstrous chill. ¡°Alexa, did you take birth control medicine?¡± She did not panic at all and looked up at him without fear. ¡°Isn¡¯t it obvious? Don¡¯t you know those words?¡± After saying that, she sneered. ¡°Or do think I want to have your child?¡± ¡°Alexa, if you dare say it again.¡± Terrence instantly ravaged the medicine box until it was beyond recognition. His palm was cut by the aluminum te, but his cold expression still did not change at all. ¡°I don¡¯t want to be pregnant with your child. Is it not clear enough?¡± Alexa clenched the sheets tightly. She was obviously afraid but more angry than afraid.She saw the veins on the back of Terrence¡¯s hand burst out. He was clearly enduring the mounting anger. Alexa hardened her heart and directly pushed him out of the door. Unexpectedly, Yareli wasing over with Damarion in her arms. Edwin followed behind them and smiled politely at Alexa. ¡°Damarion, Yareli, why are you here?¡± ¡°Ms. Duran, Edwin told me that you wanted to see Damarion. I thought Damarion also missed you, so I brought him here.¡± Damarion had been quiet in Yareli¡¯s arms. But when he saw Alexa, the little fellow¡¯s eyes turned red and he curled his lips with a grievance. ¡°Mommy, I miss you so much.¡± Damarion said this in a childish voice. Alexa was touched and she hugged Damarion immediately. ¡°Sweetheart, Mommy misses you too, but I have been very busy these days.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, Mommy.¡± Damarion leaned in Alexa¡¯s arms reluctant to leave. ¡°I¡¯m very good at home¡­¡± ¡°Mommy knows. Damarion is the best child.¡± Before Alexa could say more words to Damarion, Terrence¡¯s voice came from behind her. ¡°Dinner is ready. Come in and eat.¡± He had a shawl in his hand and was about to put it on Alexa, but Alexa brushed past him with Damarion in her arms. Terrence smiled helplessly and followed behind the mother and son with a gentle expression. Alexa was really hungry. As soon as she sat down, she began to eat. Damarion was not hungry at all, so he sat quietly beside Alexa and watched her eat. ¡°Mommy.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Hearing Alexa¡¯s response, Damarion smiled and continued to look at her with bright eyes. Terrence carefully half-squatted next to Damarion and stretched out his hand to Damarion tentatively. ¡°Damarion, what about Daddy carry you to eat?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Alexa reached out to stop Terrence. ¡°Terrence, don¡¯t touch my son.¡± Terrence was embarrassed. He had no choice but to get up and look at Damarion, unwilling to leave. Damarion¡¯s big clear eyes looked back and forth between the two of them. Finally, he gently pulled Alexa¡¯s ¡°Mommy, don¡¯t be angry.¡± ¡°Damarion, you are good.¡± Alexa naturally revealed a gentle smile. ¡°Why would Mommy be angry? Mommy is not angry.¡± Seeing this, Terrence picked up a chicken wing and ced it on Alexa¡¯s te. The next second, Alexa smiled and picked out the chicken wing. ¡°Damarion, look. Mommy is not angry at all.¡± Terrence was speechless. Not long after, the chef brought over a te of delicate and nutritious baby food. Terrence took it as an opportunity and reappeared in front of Damarion. ¡°Damarion, let me carry you to eat.¡± Damarion didn¡¯t move. After a long time, he hid in Alexa¡¯s direction with a face full of anxiety. ¡°Mommy, this man is so strange.¡± Terrence was so sad to hear that, and his face fell in an instant. ¡°I am not ¡®this man.¡±¡± He tried to remain calm. ¡°My little friend, I am your daddy.¡± ¡°You¡¯re lying,¡± Damarion concluded. Chapter 249 Chapter 249 Chapter 249 I¡¯ve Just Tasted a Little Sweetness ¡°Why did you say so?¡± Terrence asked curiously. ¡°Mommy said that you are not my daddy.¡± Hearing this, Terrence helplessly looked at Alexa and he smiled with embarrassment. ¡°Damarion, it¡¯s not like that. I am your father,¡± he patiently exined. Damarion did not reply but looked at Alexa for help. Alexa unhurriedly put down her spoon and smiled at Damarion. ¡°Damarion, how did I teach you?¡± She pinched Damarion¡¯s chubby face. ¡°Don¡¯t talk to strangers casually.¡± Terrence was embarrassed and he silently returned to his seat. Damarion quietly looked at him, but Alexa was present, and neither of them dared to make the next move. Five minutester, Alexa finally put down her spoon. ¡°Are you full? Do you want some more?¡± Terrence asked. Alexa nced at him and then carried Damarion in her arms. ¡°Damarion, let¡¯s go home.¡± ¡°Go home?¡± Damarion and Terrence spoke at the same time. ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa nodded and suddenly asked, ¡°Do you want to stay here alone?¡± Damarion was stunned and his big eyes were full of doubts. Terrence looked at him gently, but there seemed to be serious meaning in Alexa¡¯s smile. ¡°Mommy, I will be with you,¡± Damarion said in a low voice. Alexa¡¯s smile deepened, and there was a hint of pride in her eyes as she looked at Terrence. Terrence did not lose his enthusiasm because of this. Instead, he was more enthusiastic. ¡°Then I¡¯ll send you off.¡± ¡°No need. It¡¯s easy for others to misunderstand,¡± Alexa rejected coldly. After dinner, Alexa couldn¡¯t wait to leave with Damarion. She had to deal with the business in the afternoon, but Damarion kept sticking to her. Alexa had no choice but to take Damarion to thepany. Terrence followed them, and Alexa had been paying attention to his actions. But under the watchful eyes of the people around her, it was not good for her to re up on the spot. But in the eyes of others, this scene was simply enviable! Not only were Alexa and Terrence a good match, but even their child was so cute. This was a beautiful family. However, when she noticed the gazesing from the surroundings, Alexa walked even she was hiding from a Scourge. It was not until she entered the office that Alexa let out a sigh of relief. ¡°Damarion, Mommy is going to be busy. Can you wait for Mommy in the office?¡± Alexa gently asked Damarion¡¯s opinion, but he was now staring at Terrence with a smile,pletely not listening to Alexa¡¯s words. ¡°I will take care of Damarion. You can go to work.¡± Alexa was very clear about what Terrence was thinking in his heart. But she could not be so ruthless and not let Damarion get in touch with his father at all. ¡°I¡¯ll be back soon.¡± Alexa was a bit worried. She warned, ¡°If anything happens to Damarion, I will definitely not let you go!¡± ¡°I know.¡± Terrence responded to her. Before Alexa went out, he could not wait to carry up Damarion. ¡°My son, say goodbye to Mommy.¡± Alexa was speechless. As soon as she closed the door, Terrence froze. What should he do next? Terrence sat on the sofa with Damarion in his arms and looked at the little fellow. It suddenly fell silent. ¡°Kid, are you hungry? Do you want to drink water?¡± Terrence asked seriously. ¡°Not hungry, not thirsty.¡± Damarion rejected him seriously, theny on Terrence¡¯s body and began to gnaw on his tie. Terrence allowed Damarion to mess up his neat clothes, and the smile on Terrence¡¯s face became brighter like he was plotting something. ¡°Damarion, how do you call me?¡± Damarion was stunned. He did not know what to do when Alexa was not present. ¡°How do you call me?¡± Terrence gently pinched his face and waited patiently for Damarion¡¯s answer. ¡°Daddy¡­¡± ¡°Good boy.¡± Terrence smiled with satisfaction and liked Damarion very much. ¡°Does Kieran oftene to find your mother?¡± This question was somewhat beyond Damarion¡¯s knowledge, but after hearing Kieran¡¯s name, he still called out ¡°Kieran¡± familiarly. ¡°Don¡¯t call him. Don¡¯t talk to strangers,¡± Terrence said seriously. ¡°Okay¡­¡± In just a few hours, the father and son became very familiar with each other. When Alexa came back, it was already eight o¡¯clock in the evening. Terrence was tidying up his clothes in front of the mirror, while Damarion was already lying in the baby carriage and asleep. ¡°Damarion was tired from ying and just fell asleep. I¡¯ve booked a table. Let¡¯s go have dinner,¡± Terrence said in a low voice. Alexa looked at the calendar and realized that Halloween wasing. ¡°No need.¡± She quickly changed into a thick coat. ¡°I made an appointment with my client to have dinner together tonight.¡± Today, they strangely got on the bed, and now she said such a thing so naturally. Alexa felt that was quite strange. ¡°Alexa, what do you think I am? In front of me, you said you were going to date Kieran,¡± Terrence said in a gloomy voice. ¡°What Kieran?¡± Alexa frowned. ¡°It¡¯s a client.¡± Terrence sneered, apparently not believing her words. ¡°Who else do you care so much about except Kieran?¡± ¡°What are you thinking about?¡± ¡°Go ahead. I¡¯m looking after Damarion.¡± Terrence suddenly agreed. ¡°I¡¯ve already called Yareli. She wille over to pick Damarion up soon.¡± ¡°No.¡± Terrence tly refused, ¡°I will personally look after Damarion.¡± Alexa had no choice but topromise. ¡°Then send Damarion back early.¡± She arranged in an orderly manner, ¡°I will be back soon.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Terrence nodded. The moment Alexa turned around, Terrence suddenly grabbed her shoulder and easily pulled her into his arms. Alexa lost her bnce and subconsciously grabbed his tie to steady herself. She stole a nce at the mirror. This scene was so intimate. She immediately looked away with a red face. ¡°Terrence, what are you doing?¡± Alexa clenched her fist and smashed it on his chest. ¡°Let go of me quickly.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t let go.¡± Terrence slowly leaned closer, his gaze lingering on her delicate lips. ¡°Unless¡­¡± ¡°Unless what?¡± T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Terrence did not speak. He held her waist with one hand and pressed his other hand against her lips seductively. ¡°Alexa, I just tasted a little sweetness. What should I do?¡± ¡°Terrence, this is the office. You are crazy!¡± Terrence did not respond. Alexa immediately felt a warm and numb feelinging from her neck. Terrence kissed her slender neck affectionately and then went all the way up, slowly approaching her lips. Just as Alexa¡¯s body could not help but soften, a shallow murmur came from the baby carriage not far away. ¡°Mommy¡­¡± Chapter 250 Chapter 250 Chapter 250 He Still Has Feelings for You Alexa¡¯s expression changed. In an instant, she pushed Terrence away and tidied up her clothes in a flurry. ¡°Damarion, I am here.¡± Terrence took a step forward and picked Damarion up, looking as if he was confident. ¡°Damarion, Mommy is going to be busy. I will stay with you. Is that okay?¡± Damarion drowsily grabbed Terrence¡¯s cor and nodded in a daze. ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go home.¡± ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Alexa pursed her lips and hesitated to speak. This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Terrence seemed to be asking for apromise. ¡°Go and do your work. Remember toe back early.¡± ¡°Goodbye, Mommy.¡± Damarion waved at her very reluctantly. It was gettingte, and Alexa had to meet her client. Terrence directly took Damarion home. Suddenly, he received a call from Keyon. ¡°Is my son with you?¡± Keyon gritted his teeth and said in a gloomy voice, ¡°Terrence, I¡¯ll pick Damarion up right away.¡± ¡°Your son?¡± Terrence sneered proudly. ¡°This is the son of me and Alexa.¡± ¡°Terrence, was it not enough for you to make Alexa so miserable back then? And now you want to harm Damarion too?¡± Keyon was very angry. ¡°If you don¡¯t want anything to happen to them, send Damarion back immediately.¡± ¡°With me, there won¡¯t be any problems for them.¡± ¡°Terrence, you will pay the price sooner orter.¡± After Keyon finished speaking, he threw the phone on the table with a livid face. ¡°Gary, prepare to return to the country immediately.¡± Seeing his boss¡¯ gloomy expression, Gary Welch couldn¡¯t help but shiver. What kind of person was so bold! At this time, Alexa was on her way to the hotel. Aubrey looked at Alexa¡¯s expression through the rearview mirror. Alexa was quietly hidden in the dark carriage, looking a little dispirited. ¡°Ms. Duran, Mr. Ramsey seems to be very close to you recently.¡± ¡°Yes. We are business partners,¡± Alexa replied vaguely. Aubrey was worried. ¡°But he seems to have other ns for Damarion. Ms. Duran, if you don¡¯t cut off ties with him in time, things might be very tricky.¡± When this topic was brought up, Alexa felt a little annoyed. In fact, she had her own selfish motives. Damarion was actually her and Terrence¡¯s child. Alexa did not want Damarion to not have a father involved in the process of growing up. But ording to the results of their investigation, Terrence did not seem to be suitable to be Damarion¡¯s father. A cold light shed in Alexa¡¯s eyes. She suddenly became indifferent. There were too many things that Terrence had hidden from her. Alexa closed her eyes for a while, and the limited-edition Maserati soon stopped at the entrance of the hotel. She quickly adjusted her state and still looked impable. A young man dressed in a blue suit stood at the entrance of the hotel. His facial features were exquisite and pretty. His mixed- blood appearance indicated that he was extraordinary. ¡°Conley.¡± ¡°Alexa, it¡¯s been a long time. I missed you so much abroad.¡± The man greeted her warmly and gave her a hug. Alexa gave a polite response and quickly stood aside. ¡°New York has made you a cold person in such a short time! Did someone make you angry, Ms. Duran?¡± Conley joked. ¡°It¡¯s just life. Where is the person I want to see?¡± Alexa exined ¡°He is already in there.¡± Conley smiled mysteriously and personally pushed open the door for her. In the magnificent inner hall sat a man who was over 50 years old with a shocking scar on his face. ¡°Derick Clough. This is Alexa Duran,¡± Conley introduced simply. ¡°What do you want to know? I don¡¯t know anything.¡± Derick looked up gloomily. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Mr. Clough. Let¡¯s eat first,¡± Conley smiled gently. The waiters served the dishes one after another, but none of the people by the table came for food. Derick did not eat. His old face was full of vignce against them. ¡°As far as I know, Mr. Clough, you were released three days ago.¡¯ Alexa took a sip of tea, ncing around. ¡°Manughter?¡± A hint of pain immediately appeared in Derick¡¯s dull eyes. However, not long after, his concealed emotionspletely disappeared. ¡°I am a murderer. Aren¡¯t you afraid?¡± ¡°If we are afraid, we won¡¯te to see you today.¡± As Conley spoke, he picked some food for Alexa. ¡°We just want to know why you killed your father at that time.¡± ¡°I forgot. There is nothing I can tell.¡± ¡°In fact, you are taking the me for your younger brother Jovan, right?¡± Alexa made it clear. Derick¡¯s blue lips could not help but tremble. The horror on his face was extremely ferocious. ¡°You¡­ You¡­¡± ¡°The scar on your face was also caused by him, right?¡± Conley said coldly. Derick¡¯s hand trembled violently and suddenly knocked over the te and spoon, as if he was about to faint. ¡°I still have something to do. I¡¯ll be leaving first.¡± With a pale face, he got up and rushed to the door, trying his best to stabilize his body, and not long after, he disappeared from the door. Alexa and Conley looked at each other. He was not very surprised. ¡°Let¡¯s eat. I specially asked the chef toe to New York to make this chicken dish for you.¡± ¡°Things are getting more and moreplicated now. It¡¯s like going into a dead end.¡± Alexa held her forehead helplessly. ¡°There¡¯s always hope. We have more and more clues now,¡± Conley consoled optimistically. ¡°Alright.¡± Alexa sighed and began to eat. However, Conley stopped his actions and looked at her with a faint smile. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Alexa did not change her expression. ¡°If you have something to say, just say it.¡± ¡°Alexa, how is the matter with Terrence?¡± ¡°Just the same.¡± ¡°I think he still has feelings for you.¡± Although Conley said this with a smile, there was obviously some regret in his eyes. He was Keyon¡¯s good friend. When he first saw Alexa on the ind, he had a deep impression of this cold girl. Later, when he found out that she had a child, Conley understood the past events between her and Terrence. ¡°How could you have taken a fancy to him at that time? He¡¯s strict and cold,¡± Conley said in a low voice. ¡°This kind of rich guy has no true feelings.¡± ¡°Of course, I know. Otherwise, how could I have been hurt so badly?¡± Alexaughed at herself. ¡°There are so many outstanding men in the world. Why do you have to waste your time on this hypocritical and cold man?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s eat. The dishes are going to get cold,¡± Alexa said, instantly changing the topic. When he saw her reaction with his own eyes, Conley¡¯s heart turned cold. After they finished eating, they left the private room together. However, not long after they left the room, Alexa suddenly stopped in her tracks and looked forward shocked. Chapter 251 Chapter 251 Chapter 251 What Do You Think I Am? Terrence suddenly appeared at the end of the corridor, and Alexa was startled by him. However, she and Conley were not in a shady rtionship. Thinking of this, Alexa inexplicably had confidence. ¡°Alexa.¡± Terrence called her coldly, and his tone seemed to be covered with ice. Alexa could clearly feel how deep Terrence¡¯s hostility towards Conley was. But at this moment, Conley ced his hand around her shoulder in a high-profile manner. ¡°Is this your ex-husband?¡± This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. His frivolous and yful tone filled with ridicule reached Terrence¡¯s ears. Terrence¡¯s body instantly burst out much chill, and he approached them immediately. Conley could tell his intentions and immediately moved sideways to block Alexa. ¡°How can you as a man bully a woman?¡± Conley¡¯s eyes were gloomy. ¡°Alexa doesn¡¯t want to go with you.¡± Terrence curled his lips into a cruel sneer. ¡°Alexa,e with me.¡± She did not run away, but stood still away from Conley¡¯s arms and introduced Conley to Terrence in a natural and graceful manner. ¡°This is¡­¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care who he is.¡± Terrence interrupted her with displeasure and immediately brought her into his arms. Before Terrence left, he stared at Conley for a few seconds, his eyes full of hostility and rejection. ¡°Alexa, Keyon ising back to New York.¡± Alexa froze, but she forced herself to calm down. ¡°Got it. You can go back first.¡± When she finished speaking, Alexa clearly felt that Terrence¡¯s hand that was holding her tightened. ¡°Where¡¯s Damarion? Did you send him home?¡± ¡°Now you remember your son.¡¯ Terrenceined resentfully. In his heart, he was actually very worried that those people outside would steal Alexa away. She nced at him speechlessly and struggled out of his arms. ¡°Terrence, you are so annoying.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, I¡¯m annoying.¡± Terrence once again held her. ¡°Who was that person just now?¡± ¡°Did you say that you don¡¯t care?¡± ¡°Of course, I don¡¯t care, but he approached you.¡± ¡°I can contact whoever I like. What are you to me? Do you have the right to restrain me?¡± ¡°What do you think I am to you?¡± Terrence whispered, and his tone was very dangerous. Alexa not only shivered, but she could not escape even if she wanted to. ¡°I don¡¯t care what you are.¡± ¡°Alexa, don¡¯t let me see you in contact with those men again.¡± ¡°Terrence.¡± A warm greeting suddenly sounded not far away. Alexa subconsciously looked over and saw Aron standing at the door greeting them. ¡°I¡¯ll leave,¡± Alexa said knowingly. But Terrence did not intend to let go. Instead, he took her over without any exnation. Aron smiled subtly and greeted her warmly as well. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey is here too.¡± ¡°Mr. Lambert, just call me Alexa.¡± Terrence did not object, and Aron did not say much. This matter passed just like that. The atmosphere in the room was very lively. All of them were young rich men in New York, and a few of them had pretty femalepanions. Alexa suddenly felt that she was no different from those women. In Terrence¡¯s eyes, she was just a ything like them. Thinking of this, Alexa walked a little further away from Terrence with a cold and indifferent attitude, but the hand that Terrence ced on her waist was particrly eye-catching. Their matter was well known in New York, and everyone present was Terrence¡¯s trusted friend, so no one dared to say anything. ¡°Terrence, let me go.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Terrence let go of her and pulled a chair for her like a gentleman the next second. Alexa was forced to sit down next to him, and Terrence could not wait to grab her hand and y with it. However, on the surface, he still had that cold and rational appearance. They soon began to talk about business. Alexa listened silently, roughly knowing that it was about the recruitment of the southern development zone. In recent years, Hudson Group has been doing well in all the countries in the world. Small things like bidding, as long as Terrence wanted, would be solved.But after Simon Herrera finished speaking, Terrence did not immediately express his position but calmly filled a bowl of hot soup for Alexa. ¡°It is useless to ask me about business.¡± Terrence suddenly said this, and Simon¡¯s heart instantly cooled. If Terrence couldn¡¯t decide, then who could? ¡°Ask Mrs. Ramsey.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of everyone in front of him instantly focused on Alexa. ¡°Me?¡± ¡°What do you think?¡± Terrence asked her with eyes full of love, ¡°I remember that Vision Group also joined the bidding.¡± ¡°Although Vision Group participated in the bidding, the focus of its business is not in New York. If you want it, you can take it, Mr. Herrera,¡± Alexa said calmly. Hearing this, Simon immediately smiled. ¡°Thank you, Mrs. Ramsey.¡± Terrence cast a meaningful smile at her. Alexa did not change her expression and did not think it was a big deal. When dinner ended, Terrence personally drove her off. ¡°Alexa, you are really awesome now. You are simply a business genius,¡± he said proudly. ¡°You are not sincere at all.¡± Alexa¡¯s tone was t, and she did not buy it. ¡°I am sincere.¡± Terrence smiled and said, ¡°Simon is a good person. If you give him this business service, Vision Group will be able to cooperate more with the Herrera Group in the future.¡± Everyone could understand such a simple truth. Moreover, Alexa knew that Terrence deliberately gave her this opportunity. Inte autumn, the weather in New York changed so soon. Halfway through the way, it suddenly began to rain heavily. Alexa looked worriedly at the raindrops that fell on the window, and her heart felt as stuffy as before. The doctor said that this was a psychological problem. Alexa had tried many treatments, but they still had no effect. The rain was getting heavier. Alexa¡¯s phone in her bag suddenly rang. When she saw that it was a call from Kieran, she hesitated for a moment and finally rejected it. Terrence noticed her actions and a sharp light shed in his eyes. Before Alexa could breathe a sigh of relief, the phone called again. This time, she answered it. ¡°Kieran?¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯m off work. I¡¯m on my way home now.¡± When Alexa spoke to Kieran, she was as gentle as a young girl who had just fallen in love. Terrence¡¯s thin lips were tightly pursed as if the rain outside the window had hit him. ¡°Are youing to pick me up? Actually¡­¡± There was a ¡°click¡± sound. Terrence pressed a button, and the sound of music immediately rang out in the car. When Alexa heard this voice, she subconsciously clutched her phone. After a few simple words with Kieran, she could not wait to hang up the phone, afraid that he would hear something else. At the same time, Terrence turned off the music with a straight face. ¡°Sorry, I pressed the wrong button.¡± Alexa had a face full of disbelief, but Terrence was calm as if nothing had happened just now. Chapter 252 Chapter 252 Chapter 252 Leave Us Alone Alexa calmed down and stared at him. ¡°Terrence, you did it on purpose, didn¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Are you full? Do you want something more?¡± ¡°I¡¯m full of anger.¡± Alexa sat down and looked at her phone in boredom. Alexa¡¯s phone was reflected in the ss, and Terrence clearly saw Alexa was looking at the chat. A call with Kieran was not enough for her, and she had to text chat with him now? Terrence pulled his cor in irritation, and the knuckles of his hand that was holding the steering wheel turned white. ¡°Alexa.¡± ¡°Yeah?¡± she answered absent-mindedly, her eyes not moving away from the screen. Terrence¡¯s face was even more sullen. He didn¡¯t want to give up so easily and asked sternly. ¡°Why do you like Kieran?¡± For quite a long time, Alexa did not reply. Terrence felt part of him was dying, and he could do nothing but watch helplessly. ¡°Terrence, do we really need a reason to like or love someone?¡± Alexa asked slowly, and Terrence was stunned for a long time. ¡°We do,¡± Terrence answered honestly. ¡°We even need reasons to hate.¡± ¡°But I don¡¯t need it. I just follow my heart.¡± Outside the window, the rain was bing heavier and heavier. In the distance, there was a p of thunder, as if the world was weeping loudly. ¡°It¡¯s gettingte.¡± Terrence changed the topic. ¡°Let¡¯s go home.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go back to my home.¡± This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org. ¡°Okay.¡± When she arrived at the Duran¡¯s house, the lights in the living room were still on. Alexa knew that Keyon must havee back, and she instantly had very mixed feelings. ¡°Bye.¡± ¡°Alexa, wait a moment.¡± Terrence got out of the car with an umbre and quickly walked to her side. ¡°Let me walk you in.¡± The two each held an umbre, and there seemed to be a wall between them. ¡°No need, I¡¯ll go in myself,¡± Alexa refused coldly. ¡°You can go now.¡± Terrence turned around silently. But after only a few seconds, he suddenly walked back to her. ¡°It¡¯s almost winter. Do you still cough in your sleep at night? Do you still have cold hands and feet?¡± ¡°I¡¯m alright.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Terrence smiled happily. ¡°Then I¡¯ll make some soup and bring it to you tomorrow morning.¡± ¡°Thanks, but no.¡± Alexa talked as if she was talking to a stranger. ¡°We¡¯ve got a doctor in the house.¡± ¡°Go in now. The rain is getting heavier.¡± After Terrence finished speaking, Alexa walked to the door without looking back. Once she disappeared behind the door, Terrence reluctantly withdrew his gaze and turned to leave. After Alexa entered the house, she stayed in the living room. Keyon was ying with Damarion on the sofa. After seeing her, Damarion happily called, ¡°Mom.¡± ¡°Yareli, take Damarion upstairs to sleep.¡± ¡°Uncle, I¡¯m not leaving.¡± ¡°Damarion, do as your mom says.¡± Keyon rubbed Damarion¡¯s head and talked to him patiently for a while before Damarion reluctantly left with Yareli. Alexa threw her handbag aside and sat down on the sofa, exhausted. Keyon had no choice but to stop talking and go to fetch a ss of drink for Alexa. ¡°You seem tired from worktely. Do you want to take a break?¡± Keyon asked with concern. ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Alexa shook her head. ¡°Actually, I don¡¯t feel tired when I¡¯m busy.¡± Keyon watched her finish the drink and finally asked. ¡°Was it Terrence who sent you back just now? I saw his car.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa did not intend to hide it from Keyon. ¡°I met him at the hotel.¡± ¡°Alexa, if you feel bothered by him, we can go back.¡± ¡°Keyon, it¡¯s alright.¡± Hearing this, Keyon paused and suddenly asked. ¡°Alexa, it¡¯s been many years but you¡¯re still not over him, right?¡± ¡°Keyon, since we are in New York, he is unavoidable.¡± Alexa was very calm and did not seem bothered by Terrence. ¡°And it is impossible for me to like him again.¡± Keyon smiled with satisfaction and put his hand on Alexa¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Alexa, as long as you don¡¯t like him, I have no problem with you meeting him.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°How is it going with Kieran?¡± ¡°Just okay.¡± Alexa was not in high spirits and did not want to talk about this matter. ¡°No problem. Take your time.¡± Alexa was just about to go upstairs when Keyon suddenly added. ¡°Alexa, let¡¯s go back after this year. The second phase of the treatment is about to begin.¡± Alexa¡¯s body froze as if she had been nailed to the ground. ¡°Got it.¡± After Alexa went upstairs, Keyon rubbed the ce between his eyebrows somewhat tiredly. Of course, he wanted Alexa to be happy, but there were many hardships in real life to ovee. Not long after, a ck figure quietly appeared at the door. ¡°Is it all done?¡± Keyon lit a cigarette and held it. ¡°Mr. Duran, we have found out,¡± the man reported firmly. ¡°Terrence indeed had a part in bankrupting the Duran Group.¡± ¡°Got it.¡± After that person left, Keyon also went upstairs to return to his room. Unexpectedly, he saw someone in a skirt disappear around the corner. He didn¡¯t say anything, nor did he try to catch her. Instead, he silently returned to his room. All the while, Alexa fled to the balcony in panic. She had heard clearly what the man had just said. Her brother had been investigating the Duran Group¡¯s bankruptcy all these years, but she did not expect that Terrence was actually involved. If they dug deeper, they might find a bigger conspiracy. The night rain showed no signs of stopping. Alexa sat on the sofa, letting the cold wind along with the cold rain hit her body. Though cold air kepting in, Alexa felt suffocated, as if a hand was tightly around her neck. ¡°Why¡­¡± Her words were dispersed by the cold night. After a long time, dawn finally arrived. The next morning, Alexa got up and found Damarion had caught a fever. Keyon had left for a business trip. Alexa wasted no time and hurriedly took Damarion to the hospital. Terrence happened to be inspecting a nearby mall. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw Alexa¡¯s car drive into the hospital. Despite the executives who hade with him, he drove away and chased Alexa¡¯s car. After Alexa pulled up the car, she immediately carried Damarion to the Pediatrics Department. And she ran into Terrence. ¡°What happened to Damarion?¡± he asked with a frown. ¡°Fever.¡± Alexa said curtly. Then she impatiently walked past Terrence. ¡°Let me carry him.¡± Terrence quickly followed. ¡°Have you got a doctor?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, a figure in a white coat showed up. Kieran took Damarion away from Alexa while saying to Alexa unhurriedly. ¡°The doctor is waiting. Let¡¯s hurry over.¡± ¡°Good!¡± Alexa nodded madly and followed Kieran without hesitation. Frowning, Terrence red at Kieran and followed Alexa. ¡°Terrence, don¡¯te,¡± Alexa suddenly said to him emotionally. ¡°Can you leave us alone?¡± Chapter 253 Chapter 253 Chapter 253 Keep Staring at Him ¡°Leave you alone?¡± Before Terrence could understand what she meant, Alexa pushed him away impatiently and ran to the treatment room. An hourter, Damarion¡¯s fever was finally down. With tearful eyes, he was carried out of the treatment room by Alexa. Every time he came to the hospital, he would suffer a lot. The little fellow was now sulking and refused to let go of Alexa¡¯s cor. Even Kieran didn¡¯t know what to do to make Damarion happier. The three walked forward and saw Terrence standing in the corridor. ¡°Why are you still here?¡± Alexa asked in surprise. ¡°Is Damarion alright?¡± Hearing Terrence¡¯s voice, Damarion suddenly perked up and couldn¡¯t wait to hold out his arms to hug Terrence. ¡°Damarion, you can¡¯t do this.¡± Alexa frowned awkwardly. ¡°What did mother say to you?¡± ¡°Damarion is sick.¡± Terrence immediately went forward to take Damarion. ¡°Why do you have to be angry with him?¡± In Terrence¡¯s arms, Damarion, who had been groaning and crying just now, stopped crying gradually, as if he was tired of it. Now, he was resting his head on Terrence¡¯s shoulder quietly and staring off into the distance. Seeing this, Kieran patted Alexa¡¯s shoulder as if tofort her. Terrence nced at Kieran gloomily, his eyes full of coldness. ¡°Damarion doesn¡¯t like hospitals.¡± Terrence reached out and took Alexa into his arms. ¡°Let¡¯s go home. I¡¯ve got you a professional medical team who will be on standby for 24 hours a day.¡± Alexa looked at Kieran embarrassedly. With the current situation, she really didn¡¯t know what to do. And at this time, Damarion was very aggrieved and hugged Terrence¡¯s neck tightly. ¡°Dad, I want to go home.¡± ¡°Damarion, honey. We are going home.¡± After saying that, Terrence looked at Alexa triumphantly. ¡°Kieran, thank you. We will go home now.¡± This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org. ¡°Sure.¡± Kieran nodded calmly. ¡°I will go to see Damarionter. Call me if you need anything.¡± ¡°Dr. Powell, the patient on the sixth bed is getting worse. He needs immediate surgery.¡± The nurse¡¯s anxious voice helped them out of the awkwardness. Kieran nodded to Alexa and rushed over to check on the patient. Terrence stood still, waiting for Alexa. Seeing that Alexa did not look away for a long time, he gloomily said. ¡°Can you dial it down a little? When will you stop staring at him?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t stare at him¡­¡± Terrence stared straight into her eyes, obviously not believing a word of hers. ¡°I have something to do. I have to go to thepany first.¡± ¡°Damarion will stay with me,¡± Terrence hurriedly said. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about him.¡± ¡°Damarion has separation issues, so let me take him back.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t leave his side.¡± At this point, Alexa did not know what else to say. ¡°Damarion, do you want to go with me?¡± Alexa held Damarion¡¯s hand and asked gently, but Damarion only nced at herzily and then buried his face in Terrence¡¯s neck. ¡°No.¡± Alexa did not expect Damarion to reject her tly. She felt very frustrated. ¡°Then you go with him.¡± Alexapromised and said, ¡°I wille to pick you up after work.¡± Terrence, who had his back to her, smiled with satisfaction. Alexa respected Damarion¡¯s decision, so she had to let Terrence take him away. Ten minutester, all the executives of Hudson Group were stunned as they watched Terrence enter the conference room with a child in his arms. What¡­ What was going on? Everyone¡¯s curiosity was piqued, but no one dared to ask anything. Wearing a serious expression, Terrence sat down at the head of the table with Damarion in his arms,pletely unaffected by the others¡¯ gazes. Edwin stood nearby and watched Damarion tearing and pulling Terrence¡¯s clothes. Soon, Terrence¡¯s sharp suit was ruined beyond recognition. Even so, Terrence was not irritated at all. Instead, there was a faint smile on his face. The director of the Finance Department, who was reporting on his work, could not help but pause. Terrence¡¯s eyes at this moment were as soft as water, and he found it unbelievable. The atmosphere of the meeting became very strange but eptable until Damarion shouted. ¡°Dad.¡± The chief secretary, who was taking notes, suddenly broke the tip of his pen. What did this child call Terrence? ¡°Yes?¡± Terrence responded with satisfaction. Damarion¡¯s fever hadpletely gone away, and he had returned to his usual lively and active self. He moved restlessly in Terrence¡¯s arms and finally turned to look at the people sitting in front of him. ¡°Hi, everyone.¡± Hearing Damarion¡¯s words, everyone answered happily. Terrence¡¯s forever cold face, for the first time, had a bright smile on it. ¡°That¡¯s all for today. Dismissed.¡± After saying that, Terrence could not wait to carry Damarion back to his office. Unexpectedly, Carissa was here. ¡°Terrence.¡± After she called Terrence, she looked at the child in his arms. ¡°Ah, this is Damarion, right?¡± Carissa suddenly put on a smile. ¡°Damarion,e and let me hug you.¡± Damarion was not excited about it at all. The moment Carissa was about to touch him, Damarion hid in Terrence¡¯s arms without hesitation. ¡°No.¡± Hearing this, Carissa looked a bit embarrassed. ¡°He¡¯s shy of strangers. So cute, haha.¡± Terrence ignored her and sat down with Damarion in his arms. Carissa didn¡¯t know whether to sit or stand. In the end, she tried to start a conversation very unnaturally. ¡°Terrence, that deal is going very well. I¡¯m here to thank you.¡± ¡°You¡¯re wee,¡± Terrence said calmly without a smile. ¡°I don¡¯t mind helping out a friend of my wife¡¯s.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been too busy these days and haven¡¯t hung out with Alexa,¡± Carissa said jokingly. ¡°Let¡¯s hang out and have a meal together when you have time.¡± ¡°You can just ask her.¡± Seeing Terrence and Carissa talking so much, Damarion was a little unhappy and quietly grabbed Terrence¡¯s finger and bit it. This little fellow was still growing teeth, so it didn¡¯t hurt at all. Terrence only felt itchy. Carissa quietly observed Terrence, only to see him gently pull his hand out and keep holding Damarion. She could not help but feel somewhat unhappy. After all, Terrence had said that he would have no more feelings for Alexa. But what was this? Just as Carissa was deep in thought, Edwin suddenly rushed in and whispered a few words in Terrence¡¯s ear. A momentter, Terrence¡¯s face sank. ¡°Find someone to look after Damarion.¡± Hearing this, Carissa stepped forward without hesitation. ¡°Don¡¯t bother. Just let me look after Damarion.¡± ¡°No need, I¡¯ll do it.¡± A vigorous female voice came from outside the door, and then Rebekah showed up with an imposing aura. ¡°Terrence, your father is waiting for you downstairs. Go to him.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Terrence then left with Edwin. Rebekah sat down with Damarion in her arms as if no one else was there, keeping their distance from Carissa Chapter 254 Chapter 254 Chapter 254 Let Bygones Be Bygones ¡°Mrs. Ramsey.¡± Carissa brushed her hair and greeted Rebekah politely. However, Carissa¡¯s actions were particrly rigid. ¡°Ms. Barrell, you are really a rare guest. I heard that the Barrell family has been working with Hudson Group recently. Congrattions,¡± Rebekah said. ¡°I¡¯ll have to thank Mr. Ramsey for giving me this opportunity.¡± ¡°However, I heard that you also work with the Powell family.¡± ¡°It is just about business.¡± Seeing that the atmosphere had be somewhat serious, Rebekah did not keep asking more about this but suddenly changed the topic. ¡°Alexa regards you as her friend. If you are free, I¡¯ll be d if you can visit us more.¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, thank you for your invitation.¡± After a few words, Carissa found an excuse and left the office. Walking out of the Hudson Group building, Carissa made a call expressionlessly. ¡°They seem to have discovered it. You guys should think of a way as soon as possible.¡± Carissa ruffled her hair in frustration. ¡°Yes, I got it,¡± the one on the other end of the phone replied calmly. Carissa panicked a little. She said, ¡°You have to do what you promised me. Otherwise, I will¡­¡± ¡°We know. The money has been transferred to your ount. Check it.¡± Carissa couldn¡¯t wait to check the transfer message. Sure enough, the money had been transferred to her ount. ¡°You have got the money. I will tell you what to do next.¡± ¡°Alright¡­¡± Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. At the same time, Alexa entered St. Paolo Hotel and was heading to the reserved room. Unexpectedly, Alexa happened to meet Terrence. ¡°Terrence, why are you here? Where is Damarion?¡± Terrence did not answer Alexa¡¯s question but turned to Edwin. Terrence said, ¡°Send her back.¡± ¡°Terrence, what are you doing?¡± Alexa asked discontentedly, ¡°Why are you sending me back?¡± ¡°I booked this hotel today,¡± Terrence said. ¡°I have an appointment with my client. Terrence, don¡¯t stop me.¡± ¡°The top floor, right? I¡¯ll go.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Alexa didn¡¯t understand what was going on. Edwin reminded her politely and then asked someone to send her out of the hotel. After confirming that Alexa was safely in the car, Terrence went upstairs. In the luxurious private room on the top floor, Jovan was already waiting impatiently. Jovan saw that the person who came was Terrence, and a hint of doubt shed through his eyes. ¡°Mr. Clough,¡± Terrence spoke in neither servile nor overbearing manner. ¡°Why is it you?¡± Jovan narrowed his eyes viciously, crossed his legs arrogantly, and leaned against the back of the chair. ¡°The person I want to see today is not you.¡± ¡°Of course, I know.¡± Terrence sat down in front of Jovan calmly. ¡°But the only person you can see today is me.¡± ¡°Heh.¡± Jovanughed coldly, and without any etiquette, he picked up his coffee cup and took a big sip. ¡°You young people are really interesting.¡± Jovan pped his hands repeatedly and said, ¡°Alexa and Kieran cheated on you, and you actually let bygones be bygones. You are reallyrge¨Cminded.¡± Terrence was not affected by Jovan¡¯s provocation at all. He still had a faint smile on his face as he stared at Jovan intently. A hint of ruthlessness shed through Jovan¡¯s eyes, and it was obvious that he was more on guard against Terrence. ¡°I came to New York today for no other reason. I have a nephew named Conley. He is the treasure of his parents. He came to New York a while ago to meet Alexa, but there is no news from him now,¡± Jovan said smilingly. Hearing the words, Terrence silently gripped the handle of the chair, his eyes filled with coldness. ¡°His parents were also worried, so I came to look for him. I wonder if you know about this.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know, I haven¡¯t seen Conley.¡± ¡°Well¡­ There¡¯s no need for such polite words between us.¡± Jovan burst intoughter. ¡°You should call the police if he is missing. We¡¯re not the police,¡± Terrence replied unhurriedly. ¡°In New York, the only person I can trust is you.¡± ¡°Speaking of which, there is something else I also want to ask.¡± Terrence shook his wine ss in a noble manner and looked coldly at the dark red wine in the ss. ¡°Since my wife came back to the country, there have been people who keep inquiring about her schedule and even frequently interfering with herpany¡¯s business¡­¡± Jovan¡¯s face gradually darkened, and his dark face was filled with a strong hostility. ¡°Oh? How could there be such a thing? Who did that?¡± Jovan asked despite knowing the answer. ¡°I¡¯m also very curious.¡± Terrence chuckled. ¡°Moreover, I¡¯m a narrow¨Cminded person. I won¡¯t bear to see such a thing.¡± ¡°Yes, yes.¡± Jovan nodded with a fake smile. In less than half an hour, Terrence ended his conversation with Jovan. Not long after Terrence left, Jovan was so furious that he flipped through the table. ¡°Mr. Clough!¡± The subordinates all lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound. ¡°Mr. Clough, I¡¯ll bring some people to kill him,¡± Kendrick Barker, Jovan¡¯s assistant, said through gritted teeth. ¡°Stop!¡± Jovan roared furiously, and his lungs were about to explode from anger. ¡°Terrence, this bastard, dares to shout in front of me!¡± ¡°Mr. Clough, in my opinion, he must know Conley¡¯s whereabouts.¡± ¡°I knew it before you told me!¡± Jovan stood in front of the window and took a sip of the coffee that was about to go cold. Suddenly, he thought of something. In the blink of an eye, he smashed the priceless coffee cup into pieces. ¡°Terrence, Alexa¡­¡± Jovan sneered cruelly, ¡°I¡¯ll spare your lives for now. Sooner orter, I¡¯ll make you pay the price!¡± At this time, Edwin had sent Alexa downstairs of the Hudson Group building. He did not expect to see a white BMW. ¡°Stop the car.¡± Alexa ordered as she hurriedly pushed open the door and got out of the car. ¡°Carissa!¡± A momentter, the driver¡¯s window of the BMW slowly rolled down. Carissa had cried just now. Although she had put on makeup, her eyes were still red and swollen. After seeing Alexa, Carissa felt even more guilty. ¡°Alexa, you¡¯re here too?¡± Carissa subconsciously exined, ¡°I just came to a business talk. I didn¡¯t expect to meet Damar.¡± Seeing that Alexa did not speak, Carissa forced a smile. Carissa added, ¡°Your son is very cute, and he looks like you.¡± ¡°Carissa, why do you look so haggard? Did you run into some trouble recently? Do you want to tell me?¡± Alexa said gently and patiently. ¡°No, what trouble can I encounter?¡± Carissa waved her hand and changed the topic in the blink of an eye. ¡°Maeve has recently gained the title of the best actress. Do you know about this?¡± ¡°Yes, she told me on the phone.¡± ¡°It turned out that she called you.¡± The smile on Carissa¡¯s face faded, and she could barely keep the faint smile. ¡°She didn¡¯t even call me. Maybe she has been too busy recently.¡± Chapter 255 Chapter 255 Chapter 255 We Are Good Friends, Right? ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. I¡¯m here.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Carissa paused and suddenly asked her, ¡°Alexa, we are good friends, right?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± Even at this point, Carissa still did not say all the words in her heart. When she chose to do this, there was no turning back, and she was not worthy of turning back. Alexa seemed to be waiting for Carissa to continue, but Carissa subconsciously avoided Alexa¡¯s gaze and forced herself to be ruthless. ¡°Alexa, I have something to deal with, and I have to go now.¡± ¡°Okay, I got it.¡± Alexa took a few steps back and watched Carissa¡¯s car disappear into the distance thoughtfully. After standing on the spot for a long time, Alexa went upstairs on her own. Rebekah and Damarion were still waiting for Alexa in the office. When Alexa pushed the door open and entered, she was still worried. Last time at the banquet, Kieran took her away in public. Alexa guessed that Terrence¡¯s parents must be mad at her. However, the moment Rebekah saw Alexa, she still greeted Alexa happily as usual. Rebekah said, ¡°Alexa, take a seat.¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey¡­¡± The light in Rebekah¡¯s eyes immediately extinguished when she heard Alexa¡¯s call. ¡°Alexa, why did you call me Mrs. Ramsey?¡± Damarion noticed the change in Rebekah¡¯s mood and held her fingers. ¡°Can you still call me mother like before? I can treat you as my daughter.¡± Alexa did not want to hurt Rebekah¡¯s heart. In addition, Rebekah had always treated her well. Therefore, Alexa had no reason to refuse. ¡°Mom.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Rebekah immediately smiled happily, even happier than Damarion. ¡°Jason and Terrence went out to do something and will be back soon. I have booked a hotel. Let¡¯s have a good family dinner tonight,¡± Rebekah said warmly. The smile on Alexa¡¯s face was a little stiff. She now wanted to drag Terrence over and give him a good beating. Who asked him to ruin her talk just now? At this time, Terrence and Jason had arrived at a coffee shop. ¡°Wee to see a few important guests,¡± Jason said mysteriously. Terrence entered the coffee shop with Jason and saw a middle aged couple. Although the two were dressed in refined clothes, the righteousness around them was not to be ignored. Sure enough, Jason introduced in the next second. ¡°Asher and Sha, this is my son Terrence.¡± Terrence nodded politely, and Asher and Sha¡¯s eyes immediately shed with praise. ¡°This is my oldrade in arms, Asher Figueroa. This is his wife, Sha Figueroa.¡± ¡°Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Figueroa.¡± ¡°We¡¯ve heard long ago that you are an excellent young man. You have lived up to your reputation,¡± Asher praised generously. Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Mr. Figueroa, you tter me.¡± ¡°Have some coffee.¡± Sha nodded gracefully, and then called out to the back room, ¡°Sadie,e out and serve the guests.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± A delicate female voice rang out, and then a graceful figure appeared in front of everyone. ¡°This is my daughter, Sadie. She¡¯s 23 years old this year. She has got a doctoral degree in finance from New York University,¡± Asher introduced proudly. As the world¡¯s top university, New York University was an academy that countless top students wanted to go to. Thest person who was able to get a doctoral degree at such a young age from New York University was still Terrence. However, Terrence did not feel very surprised, nor did he touch the coffee cup. Sadie had been sizing him up. Seeing that Terrence was not interested in the coffee she brewed, she pursed her lips. She said earnestly, ¡°The water used to make coffee is spring water from the mountain. It tastes fresh and sweet. In addition, the coffee beans are top¨Cquality. Thus, the coffee tastes mellow.¡± ¡°Ms. Figueroa, you are really proficient in coffee,¡± Jason showed approval. However, Sadie¡¯s focus was still on Terrence. Seeing that Terrence did not do anything, Sadie was somewhat puzzled. ¡°Terrence, you don¡¯t like coffee?¡± ¡°No, I have no preferences for drinks,¡± Terrence replied calmly. Sadie looked at the untouched coffee cup and quickly gave up on the intention of continuing to communicate with Terrence. Sadie silentlymented in her heart, this is really a strange person. ¡°Terrence, from today onwards, Sadie is going to intern at thepany.¡± Jason smiled and looked at him. ¡°As a senior, you have to help her.¡± ¡°You can just contact the HR department.¡± Terrence did not seem very enthusiastic, but he still handed over his business card. ¡°This is my phone number. If you need anything, you can call me.¡± ¡°Sadie, hurry up and thank Terrence.¡± Sha hinted. ¡°Thank you, Terrence,¡± Sadie politely said. ¡°It happens to be Monday tomorrow. Sadie,e back with us,¡± Jason warmly said. ¡°Tomorrow we can go to thepany with Terrence.¡± Sadie couldn¡¯t make up her mind and subconsciously looked at her parents. ¡°Sadie, are you willing to go with them?¡± Asher asked gently. Sadie thought about it and nodded at the end. Jason smiled very happily. Terrence did not speak and guessed what Jason wanted to do. The three of them returned to New York together, and the driver drove directly to the hotel. Alexa and the other two had been waiting in the private room. Even if she did not want to see Terrence, she still dressed up simply out of respect for the two elders. Alexa wore an elegant white custom¨Cmade suit, and her soft hair hung around her neck. The dazzling jewelry contrasted with the bright makeup. She was remarkably like an elegant princess. There was a sound outside the door, and Alexa immediately knew that it was Terrence and his father. Alexa subconsciously stopped her gaze on Damarion. The moment the door opened, Alexa caught a glimpse of a slender female figure. Alexa immediately sized up the girl as if she had been possessed. The girl was also wearing a white long dress. Her waist¨Clength hair was elegantly hanging behind her, and she put on light makeup, making her look even more attractive. At that moment, Alexa suddenly thought of Brynlee. Alexa was lost in deep thought. It seemed that Terrence¡¯s preferences have never changed for so many years. Alexa did not realize how strange her expression had be. Until the moment she looked at Terrence, she instantly felt like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. Alexa immediately retracted her gaze. She greeted, ¡°Hello, Mr. Ramsey.¡± ¡°Alexa, Damar, I am sorry to keep you waiting for a long time.¡± Jason greeted them with a smile and tenderly carried Damarion over. ¡°Damar, did you miss me?¡± ¡°Yes, Grandpa,¡± Damarion said in a childish voice. ¡°Hey! Good boy!¡± Jason and Rebekah immediatelyughed heartily. Terrence also had a smile on his face and subconsciously turned to look at Alexa. However, Alexa was very focused on Damarion and did not notice Terrence at all. The waiters began to serve the dishes one after another. Jason officially began to introduce, ¡°This is the daughter of my oldrade, Sadie Figueroa. From tomorrow on, she will be working in Hudson Group, so she has to move to our house and live with us.¡± Chapter 256 Chapter 256 Chapter 256 Who Do You Think You Are? ¡°Okay, wee.¡± Rebekah nodded enthusiastically. ¡°Thank you, Mrs. Ramsey.¡± Sadie replied shyly. In such a circumstance, she was obviously a little reserved. Sensing that Alexa was looking at her, Sadie politely asked. ¡°Who are you¡­¡± ¡°Alexa Duran.¡± Terrence had just finished speaking and was about to introduce Alexa, but Alexa couldn¡¯t wait to reply. ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous. I¡¯m only here to have a meal with your parents.¡± Alexa calmly finished and brushed the light hair on her temples, not taking Terrence seriously. Sadie looked at Damarion at the side and guessed their rtionship. Presumably, Alexa was Terrence¡¯s ex-wife. Sadie did not want to dig out other people¡¯s privacy too much, so she did not ask any more questions and kept talking to Jason and the others. However, in Alexa¡¯s eyes, Sadie wanted to marry Terrence. Terrence directly brought Sadie to see his parents. There was no need to exin it. Alexa had silently sorted out the entire matter, but she did not care too much. Alexa thought that no matter whom Terrence liked and whom he wanted to marry, it had nothing to do with her. After the meal, Alexa left with Damarion early. Terrence did not say anything and chased after them. Damarion saw Terrence who followed him and immediately told Alexa happily. ¡°Mom, Dad is here.¡± Alexa frowned and instantly quickened her pace. ¡°Alexa, why are you running so fast in your high heels? Aren¡¯t you afraid of falling?¡± Hearing Terrence¡¯s voice, Alexa worried that Damarion would be injured, so she slowed down. Terrence easily caught up with them and held Alexa¡¯s shoulder without any sense of security. ¡°Why are you avoiding me? Am I so horrible?¡± Alexa was silent for a moment and then suddenly gave a reluctant smile. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, how could I dare to disturb your life? There is a beautiful girl in your house. How can you bear to neglect her?¡± ¡°You misunderstood¡­¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to hear your exnation. It¡¯s meaningless.¡± Alexa interrupted Terrence unhappily, ¡°Please let me go. I¡¯m going to take Damarion back to rest.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll send you back and exin it to you slowly.¡± ¡°You just need to exin to me what happened at the hotel today. I¡¯m not interested in your privacy.¡± Just as Alexa finished speaking, Kieran appeared. Kieran was wearing a British overcoat, and his every move was gentlemanly. It seemed that he and Alexa were in his-and-her clothes. Jealousy was revealed on Terrence¡¯s face in the blink of an eye, almost overwhelming him. ¡°Alexa¡­¡± Terrence said in a low voice. His thoughts were self- evident. ¡°Alexa, I have finished my work. I can stay with you and Damarion.¡± ¡°Kieran, you are shameless.¡± Terrence replied with hostility, ¡°What qualifications do you have to take care of my wife and son? Who do you think you are?¡± Terrence¡¯s face was so gloomy. It was obvious that he was furious. Kieran, however, calmly stepped forward to hold Alexa. His gaze was firm as he stood in front of Terrence. ¡°What do you think? Terrence, who do you think you are?¡± Kieran asked. ¡°Kieran!¡± Terrence desperately suppressed his anger, not wanting to scare Damarion. Alexa did not want things to get out of hand, and Sadie also came over. Alexa wanted to leave this ce quickly. ¡°Kieran, let¡¯s go. It¡¯s gettingte,¡± Alexa advised softly. As soon as Alexa said this, Kieran immediately gave up and no longer paid attention to Terrence. The three walked to the door together. Alexa nced back and saw that Terrence had not caught up. Only then did she feel much more at ease. ¡°Alexa, let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa responded softly and followed Kieran without looking back. Terrence was standing in front of the window watching their movements. Seeing how close Alexa and Kieran were, Terrence gradually tightened his hands on both sides. His face did not have a trace of gentleness. Sadie secretly came over. ¡°Mr. Ramsey.¡± Sadie called out softly and stood upright not far away, looking at Terrence. ¡°Your parents are looking for you.¡± Terrence suddenly turned around. His face was full of anger, and Sadie could not help but be shocked. ¡°You¡­¡± Sadie was so scared that her eyes turned red, and she could not help but take a step back. ¡°Did I make you angry? I¡¯m sorry.¡± Terrence ignored Sadie. His indifference discouraged Sadie to look at him. By the time Sadie got prepared with great difficulty, Terrence had passed by her coldly. The dinner that should have been happy dissolved in ill humor. Rebekah felt guilty and red at Jason with a face full of displeasure. ¡°Why did you call an outsider over? Aren¡¯t you afraid Alexa will misunderstand?¡± Jason smiled without saying anything and took a sip of hot coffee. As soon as Rebekah finished speaking, she quickly realized what was going on. ¡°Jason, could it be¡­¡± ¡°Let them go.¡± Jason was not worried at all. ¡°Let¡¯s see if Terrence can seize the opportunity.¡± The next morning, Terrence, for the first time, let Sadie take his car. ¡°You know what to do when you get to thepany.¡± ¡°Understood.¡± Sadie nodded lightly and subconsciously tightened her grip on her handbag. Sadie was only an intern now. As the president of Hudson Group, Terrence personally gave her a ride. Wasn¡¯t he afraid that others would misunderstand? After arriving at thepany, Edwin immediately followed Terrence and exined the work schedule for today in an orderly manner. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Vision Group will send someone to participate in the business negotiations in an hour.¡± ¡°Got it.¡± After that, Terrence turned back to look at Sadie. ¡°Send the financial report to my officeter.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Sadie immediately went to prepare carefully. Half an hourter, she sent the documents to Terrence¡¯s office on time. Unexpectedly, Alexa was also there. Alexa sat on the sofa, and Terrence stood behind her. The distance between them was so close. Alexa adjusted her slightly messy hair and sat upright as if nothing had happened just now. Sadie approached and saw the erotic red mark on Alexa¡¯s neck at a nce. Alexa was arranging the scarf in an attempt to cover the mark. Sadie pretended not to see it and respectfully handed the document to Terrence. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, this is the document you wanted.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± After Terrence received it, he casually flipped through a few pages. Sadie was ready to leave when she suddenly heard Terrence say. ¡°Wait for me at the garage after work tonight. Let¡¯s go back together.¡± ¡°Eh?¡± Sadie was surprised. Even Alexa gave Terrence a curious look. However, Alexa quickly withdrew her gaze and smiled with composure Chapter 257 Chapter 257 Chapter 257 The Same as Alexa ¡°Alright.¡± Sadie obediently agreed and stood by Terrence like her wife. It was so unbearable. Alexa coldly looked down,pletely ignoring them. After saying that, Terrence didn¡¯t stop. He even continued to show concern about Sadie. ¡°It¡¯s your first day here today. Are you used to it?¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯m.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Terrence smiled with satisfaction, his warm gazending on Alexa. But Alexa had her back to them and did not express any opinion. After Sadie left, Terrence did not exin anything. He just continued to talk about business matters with Alexa. Alexa¡¯s face was cold, and she constantly pulled out wet tissues to wipe her neck. The area around the mark was now red and swollen from Alexa¡¯s wipe. ¡°Don¡¯t wipe it. It can¡¯t be wiped away.¡± Terrence spoke rationally as if this matter had nothing to do with him at all. Alexa red at Terrence and said in disgust. ¡°Terrence, you are so disgusting.¡± ¡°I have kissed you before. Or are you afraid that Mr. Powell will see the mark?¡± Terrence said unhurriedly. ¡°It¡¯s fine if Mr. Powell sees it.¡± Alexa put on a fake smile and said, ¡°But if your lovers see it, it will be a big deal.¡± Terrence was slightly stunned and then could not help but smile. ¡°Alexa, are you jealous?¡± ¡°Jealous? What am I jealous of?¡± ¡°Then what do you mean by mentioning lovers?¡± Terrence was sure he would win, just like a victor who had returned from a rewarding journey. However, Alexa looked up slightly and coldly parted her red lips. ¡°Mr. Powell will never make me jealous.¡± ¡°You keep mentioning Mr. Powell. You do like him.¡± Terrence¡¯s smile gradually turned cold, and his eyes seemed to be heavy with coldness. ¡°Of course, I like him.¡± After that, Alexa pushed a contract toward Terrence. ¡°If there is no problem, Mr. Ramsey, you can sign it.¡± ¡°Yourpany is not sincere enough. I have to think about it again.¡± ¡°Well.¡± Alexa took back the contract indifferently and had no intention of begging Terrence. Terrence¡¯s expression was wless, but his face slightly twisted in annoyance. He wondered, she is so straightforward that she doesn¡¯t even try to persuade me to stay. No one does business like this. ¡°Alexa, you have to know that with just a word from me, the Powell Group will go bankrupt.¡± ¡°Oh. So what?¡± Alexa asked nonchntly with a mocking expression on her face. ¡°I only need one word to easily protect the Powell Group.¡± ¡°Are you sure you want to turn against me for Kieran?¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, if you don¡¯t know your ce, he can try to activate the GPS.¡± Alexa unhurriedly got up and walked out. ¡°My time is precious. I don¡¯t have the time to y with you.¡± Terrence was so angry with Alexa that he did not chase after her for the first time. The moment Alexa pushed the door open, she saw Sadie at the door. Sadie smiled sweetly and said boldly. ¡°Mr. Ramsey is angry. Just coax him now.¡± ¡°Ms. Duran¡­¡± Sadie was about to exin when Alexa waved her hand, indicating that Sadie did not need to say anything more. Sadie had to go in to check on Terrence. ¡°I am sorry, Mr. Ramsey. Because of me, Ms. Duran misunderstands you.¡± Terrence did notment. He tugged at his bow tie in frustration. ¡°Go to the banquet tonight with me.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Sadie did not know what was going on with Terrence and Alexa, so she could only vaguely agree. It just so happened that the Powell family held the charity banquet tonight, for Bart was officially discharged from the hospital. Terrence was not interested in these things, but he knew that Alexa would go. At the thought that Alexa would appear with Kieran magnificently, Terrence felt so depressed. Terrence picked Sadie¡¯s dress. When Alexa came to the party with Terrence for the first time, she was also wearing this dress. Even Sadie¡¯s makeup and jewelry were the same as Alexa¡¯s at that time. When Sadie put on makeup, Terrence stood behind her and watched her. Sadie looked like Alexa, but shecked the hateful stubbornness and coldness of Alexa. Realizing that he thought of Alexa again, Terrence drank more than half a ss of iced Americano with a calm face, and the strong bitterness made him slightly divert his attention. ¡°Does it look good?¡± Sadie asked gingerly. ¡°Yes,¡± Terrence replied with rare gentleness. The designer, Eaton, paused. He had long discovered something. Coincidentally, Eaton was Alexa¡¯s stylist back then. What was the situation now? Terrence¡¯s gazended on Sadie¡¯s face as if he were looking at his lover. Although Sadie had told herself that all of this was fake, she could not help but fall for it. This was Terrence! Almost all women would be attracted to him. Eaton did not dare to be sluggish and quickly finished Sadie¡¯s makeup. Sadie lifted her skirt and stood up, naturally, holding onto Terrence¡¯s arm. ¡°I¡¯m ready.¡± Sadie turned to look at Terrence, her gaze exposing her feelings. Terrence hid his emotions very well. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± The five-star hotel that held the banquet was lively now, but the ones responsible for receiving the guests were ra and Alexa. ¡°Alexa, Terrence¡¯s car arrives. In case something happens, why don¡¯t you go and hide?¡± ra said methodically. After what happened today, Alexa did not want to see Terrence now ¡­ and his girlfriend. Alexa did not hesitate and went directly to the bathroom. However, in the blink of an eye, someone gripped her wrist. ¡°You¡­¡± Before Alexa finished, she was brought to a secluded corridor. The man was wearing a customized Italian suit. It was not until the moment he turned around that Alexa recognized him. This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org. ¡°Brenton?¡± It had only been a short while since theyst met, but Brenton was so haggard that he looked like a different person. ¡°Alexa.¡± Brenton forced out a bitter smile as if he was about to cry. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Alexa asked in a business-like manner. ¡°Alexa, I knew you woulde today.¡± Alexa had long been immune to these hypocritical words and gazed at Brenton¡¯s eyes with a straight face. ¡°What exactly do you want?¡± ¡°Actually, I have been wanting to find an opportunity to apologize to you about what happened that day.¡± ¡°Oh. I almost forget if you didn¡¯t mention it. No need to thank me. It was just a hand lift.¡± Alexa withdrew her hand and took a few steps back. ¡°I misunderstood you that day. You are not that kind of person,¡± Brenton said sincerely. ¡°What kind of person?¡± ¡°I mean¡­ um¡­ you are a kind person.¡± Hearing this, Alexa could not help but smile. ¡°Brenton, what you said is quite funny.¡± ¡°Athena¡¯s pregnancy ispletely out of my expectations. I was drunk, so¡­¡± Alexa¡¯s eyes were cold. ¡°Brenton, there is no point in shirking responsibilities.¡± Chapter 258 Chapter 258 Chapter 258 A Hypocritical and Flirtatious Woman ¡°Yes, I know, but¡­¡± Brenton looked a little depressed. He had a lot to say to her, but now he could say nothing. After Alexa turned around, they seemed to be strangers. This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org. Alexa had a touch-up and walked out gracefully. She didn¡¯t expect to meet so many ¡°old friends¡± tonight. Athena put her hands on her waist, stood in front of Alexa arrogantly, and deliberately showed her baby bump at less than three months to Alexa. ¡°Alexa, you were with Brenton just now, weren¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Athena, don¡¯t be angry. Even if she tries her best to seduce Mr. Darrell, it¡¯ll be useless now,¡± Rita comforted Athena gently. ¡°That¡¯s right. After all, I am pregnant with the first child of the Darrell family. Brenton¡¯s wife can only be me,¡± Athena sneered proudly. Looking at Athena¡¯s fierce yet nervous expression, Alexa suddenly felt pity for her. ¡°Alexa, stop thinking about the man who doesn¡¯t belong to you. Do you understand?¡± Rita warned in a t voice. Alexa smiled fearlessly and nced at their faces with deep eyes. She couldn¡¯t helpughing, ¡°Do you think I am the same as you? Sorry, I never get what I want by relying on a man.¡± ¡°Alexa, drop the act. There is something surprising for you tonight.¡± Athena gritted her teeth viciously. Alexa did not understand what Athena meant, but seeing their evil smiles, she knew that it wouldn¡¯t be a good thing. She slowly walked to the hall, which was already filled with many people. Terrence showed up with his young date in public, which would naturally attract everyone¡¯s attention. ¡°Alexa,e here.¡± ra could not wait to hold Alexa¡¯s hand, and they walked to the side of the hall. ¡°Look at that woman, she¡¯s dressed exactly the same way as you back then.¡± Alexa nced at the woman and was convinced of that. Besides the clothes, Sadie even behaved the same way as her. ra said in a deep voice, ¡°What does Terrence mean, Alexa? He did this deliberately.¡± Alexa shook her head nonchntly with a bright and confident smile on her face. ¡°I don¡¯t care about how others wear and behave. I¡¯ll just be myself,¡± Alexa said word by word. ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± ra nodded in agreement and suddenly shook Alexa¡¯s arm excitedly. ¡°Alexa, my brother is here. Let¡¯s go down quickly.¡± Kieran had just entered the hall when everyone¡¯s eyes immediately fell on him. Terrence calmly shook the goblet and did not care about what was happening. But Alexa, who elegantly lifted her skirt and slowly walked downstairs on the side, caught his attention. She wore a ssic ck dress tonight. The carefully designed fishtail made her incredibly sexy. With fair skin, she was quite pretty and attractive. Seeing Terrence in the crowd, Alexa was clearly a little nervous. But he did nothing when she walked past him. Alexa was a little surprised, but she immediately quickened her pace and walked toward Kieran. ¡°Sorry to keep you waiting.¡± ¡°That¡¯s okay. I have ra with me.¡± Kieran smiled gently and entwined his fingers with hers affectionately, which happened to be seen by Terrence. He remained silent, but tightened his grip on Sadie¡¯s wrist, causing her to cry out in pain. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, it hurts¡­¡± Only then did Terrencee back to his senses and look down at Sadie indifferently. There was a red and swollen mark on her fair and slender wrist. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Terrence apologized unconcernedly and left absent-mindedly. The hall was soon filled with noises again. Bart, followed by a group of servants, slowly entered the hall and sat in the main seat with an aura of authority. ¡°Grandpa.¡± ra called sweetly and immediately ran over to sit beside Bart. ¡°ra.¡± Bart patted the back of her hand lovingly and then looked up at the two young people in front of him. ¡°Alexa and Kieran are also here. That¡¯s good.¡± ¡°Grandpa, you¡¯ll announce something tonight, so everyone is here,¡± ra said thoughtfully. Bart cleared his throat, stood up, and said in a loud voice. ¡°I am honored to have all of you attend the banquet today. I also want to take this opportunity to announce an important thing.¡± Kieran and Alexa looked at each other, knowing what Bart would say. ¡°My eldest grandson Kieran and the second daughter of the Duran family Alexa are in love. Today, I just want to say that¡­¡± Bart paused, and everyone present became nervous. Sadie even felt that the man beside her was about to explode with anger. ¡°I only recognize Alexa as Kieran¡¯s future wife.¡± Everyone was surprised to hear that. Alexa was a divorced woman, and her ex-husband Terrence was also there! A sneer suddenly broke the silence. People looked over and saw that Terrence gently held Sadie in his arms as if he didn¡¯t care about Alexa at all. After all, everyone in New York knew that Terrence just considered Alexa a puppet and had never loved her. However, although with Sadie in his arms, Terrence still gazed at Alexa with cold eyes. He became crazily possessive at this moment and was desperate to be on top of Alexa, doing whatever he wanted. ¡°How can a person with bad character deserve to marry into the Powell family?¡± A loud female voice suddenly sounded in the crowd. Everyone looked over, only to see Athena walking out confidently with her hands on her waist. ¡°Athena,e back!¡± Brenton warned in a low voice, but Athena ignored his words. ¡°Mrs. Darrell, what do you mean?¡± Bart calmly took a sip of coffee, looking sophisticated with sharp eyes. ¡°Alexa is a hypocritical and flirtatious woman. What she did is so disgusting.¡± Kieran¡¯s face instantly fell. He gritted his teeth and stared at Athena. ¡°She even tried to seduce my husband while I¡¯m pregnant.¡± ¡°Athena, what are you talking about!¡± Brenton shouted angrily. ¡°What I said is true. How long do you want to keep that from me? Even before me, Alexa also sabotaged someone else¡¯s rtionship,¡± Athena roared hysterically. Sadie silently nced at Terrence¡¯s expression, but he wore a mocking smile as if he didn¡¯t n to do anything. Alexa was not afraid of the nder because she had never done those things. But Athena called Athena here. At that moment, Alexa felt as if someone stabbed her heart ruthlessly. Chapter 259 Chapter 259 Chapter 259 I Love You More Than Love Myself ¡°Ms. Barrell, why are you here?¡± ra asked coldly. ¡°Ms. Duran, I came today because there are some things I want to tell you clearly in person.¡± Hearing ra called her ¡°Ms. Duran¡±, Alexa instantly put away all the emotions she should not have and personally extinguished the glimmer of hope in her heart. ¡°What is it?¡± Brenton seemed to have suddenly realized something and was a little agitated. ¡°Carissa, what are you doing?¡± Carissa¡¯s lifeless eyes quietly shed with a touch of sadness. When she looked at Brenton, her heart was madly breeding an unattainable regret. Carissa said, ¡°Brenton, I like the poem and lyrics you wrote. So I wrote you a love letter.¡± Brenton¡¯s face was livid, and there was no love or pity in his eyes. ¡°But no matter how hard I try, you are always so far away from me, so I began to understand your socialmunications and get close to you with many identities.¡± Alexa¡¯s eyes shed and she smiled as she listened to Carissa¡¯s story. ¡°You epted my confession on one Valentine¡¯s Day,¡± As Carissa spoke, there was a glimmer in her eyes. ¡°Every word you wrote and every song you sang, there are traces of me.¡± ¡°Carissa¡­¡± Brenton was so angry that his body trembled slightly, and he wanted to immediately rush up and shut her mouth. ¡°I came to see you from another city that day, but what about you?¡± Carissa raised her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Alexa knew what Brenton was doing that day¡­ ¡°That day, you held your first concert in your life and sang the song I wrote to you in front of so many people. In the end¡­ You wish Alexa a happy 18th birthday.¡± After Carissa finished speaking, the atmosphere at the scene was terribly quiet. Brenton¡¯s face was extremely gloomy. Sadie didn¡¯t know what Terrence was thinking at this moment, but she clearly felt the hostility around Terrence bing more and more terrifying. Athena smiled smugly and said, ¡°Alexa, what else do you want to say? This is the truth that you are in the name of Ms. Barrell to be a home wrecker.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t know your rtionship with Brenton back then. I apologize to you,¡± Alexa said word by word. ¡°Apologizing is useless now. Alexa, my happiness has been ruined by you.¡± Carissa¡¯s eyes were full of hate. Facing Carissa¡¯s tears, Alexa felt powerless. ¡°I have always treated you as a friend. What do you think of me?¡± Carissa asked in a low voice. All the pain she had endured for so many years poured out at this moment. ¡°Alexa, is what she said true?¡± Bart asked sternly. ¡°Carissa, don¡¯t nder Ms. Duran here. If I knew it was you back then, I would never have agreed to be with you. Alexa is the only one I loved,¡± Brenton gritted his teeth and shouted. ¡°But¡­ I loved you first.¡± Carissa¡¯s voice was trembling. The three of them disputed, and the situation at the scene became more and moreplicated. Athena looked on coldly and was extremely happy. She thought, Alexa had fallen into such a dispute, and she would never be able to escape unscathed. From now on, her reputation would bepletely ruined. ¡°Alexa, what have I done wrong to you that you want to harm me like this?¡± Alexa stood at the side, the only bit of affection in her heart was torn apart by Carissa. ¡°Are you sure that every word you say is the truth?¡± Carissa was stunned. She did not expect Alexa to be so calm. ¡°Of course¡­ All the harm you have done to me is real.¡± ¡°Well, how do you prove that I am a home wrecker?¡± ¡°Since you love Brenton so much, of course, you will be with him by any means.¡± Alexazily nced at Brenton and thought, why did I not feel that Brenton was so hateful before? ¡°Sorry, the man I love has never been him.¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± Athena shouted angrily, ¡°Alexa, you lied. How could you not love him? I saw all the letters you wrote to him.¡± Hearing this, Alexa suddenly looked up and stared at Athena with a pale face. ¡°What did you see?¡± ¡°I will show you the evidence.¡± Athena sneered and took out the ¡°evidence¡± from her bag. There was a Mexican stamp on each envelope, but there was no specific address or recipient¡¯s name in the letters. However, anyone who read the letters would know that these were all love letters. Seeing these envelopes, Brenton nced at Alexa guiltily and then immediately went to grab them from Athena. ¡°Give me!¡± He found these envelopes in Alexa¡¯s study at that time. He thought these letters were specially written to him by Alexa, so Brenton secretly took them away. In fact, he already knew that these letters were not written to him. Because at that time the ce he was going to was not Mexico but France. However, Brenton would rather believe that Alexa was mistaken. At this time, Athena was still aggressive. ¡°Alexa, this is the evidence you want!¡± Athena waved her hand and threw the letters over. Kieran immediately moved sideways to block Alexa. This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°These letters were indeed written by me, but they were not for Brenton. Don¡¯t you know?¡± Alexa looked at Brenton with strange eyes. Brenton pursed his lips and his face turned pale. None of the people present remembered that during those three years, there was only one person in Mexico¡­ ¡°You can¡¯t exin it, right? So you are a home wrecker. How shameful!¡± Rita said sternly. After seeing these letters, Alexa was like a puppet whose soul had been taken away. Her eyes were dull. These things should have been an unknown secret in the depths of her heart. ¡°What exnation do you want? I will answer.¡± Hearing this cold male voice, the crowd automatically opened up a path. Terrence appeared in front of everyone with a sense of oppression. Without a word, he directly grabbed Alexa over and pressed her head. ¡°Mr. Ramsey¡­ Do you have anything to say?¡± Rita asked with embarrassment. ¡°She is my wife. It is perfectly justifiable for her to like me.¡¯ ¡°What?¡± ¡°I am the person she loved in Mexico. Is there a problem?¡± ¡°It is impossible. The person that Alexa likes is Brenton.¡± Carissa was still stubborn. ¡°You?¡± Terrence nced at Brenton with contempt, his face full of disdain. ¡°You didn¡¯t have simrity to me. How could she like you? Who do you think you are?¡± Terrence said ruthlessly to Brenton. In his eyes, it was effortless to deal with Brenton. Carissa stood there embarrassed. Terrence approached her slowly and sized her up with a gloomy gaze. ¡°Ms. Barrell, this is not what a person should do, not to mention a friend.¡± ¡°I just¡­¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to listen to your exnation. Thewyer of Hudson Group will contact you.¡± After saying that, Terrence took Alexa away in public. On thete autumn night, the sea breeze was cold. Terrence quickly brought Alexa to the side of the car and then stuffed her into the passenger seat. Before Alexa could sit properly, Terrence stood by the door and leaned in, mped her jaw, and kissed her with a bit of greed and wildness Chapter 260 Chapter 260 Chapter 260 I Want to Kiss You Now ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Alexa patted his chest helplessly. After Terrence was satisfied, he reluctantly let go of her. ¡°Go home,¡± he said hoarsely. After taking care of the scene, Kieran came out, but he did not expect to see Terrence driving away. He cursed in his heart and had a touch of hatred toward Terrence. Alexa was sitting in the passenger seat, and she was so dizzy that she almost fell asleep. ¡°Is there anything to drink?¡± She was not in a good mood and did not care so much. Without waiting for Terrence to speak, Alexa found a bottle of wine on her own. She skillfully pried open the bottle cap and a choking aroma of strong liquor immediately sprang out. The aroma of strong liquor brought Alexa to cough repeatedly. Terrence reached out to grab the wine, and she immediately nimbly dodged. ¡°Alexa, you are not allowed to drink.¡± ¡°How much is it? I willpensate you.¡± ¡°Give it to me.¡± Terrence drove and did not dare to pay too much attention to her. Because of Terrence¡¯s moment of carelessness, Alexa drank half a bottle of wine. The strong liquor burned her throat. After feeling the searing pain, she knew that she was still alive. ¡°Terrence, I first dere that those letters were not written to you. I am not so bored,¡± Alexa said solemnly. ¡°I know.¡± Terrence nodded along with her meaning, a soft emotion hidden in his eyes. ¡°I am not a home wrecker.¡± Alexa continued, ¡°I didn¡¯t know that he was with Carissa, but no one believed me.¡± ¡°I believe you.¡± ¡°What? What did you say?¡± Alexa was shocked. ¡°As long as you are willing to tell me, I will believe you.¡± Alexa was stunned and suddenly stopped. Just as Terrence thought that Alexa was asleep, she suddenly whispered. ¡°Terrence, I want to vomit.¡± Terrence was speechless. He stopped the car by the side of the road and prepared a cup of warm water for her. Alexa didn¡¯t care about her image as she sat on the step on the side of the road, like a quiet mushroom. Terrence¡¯s coat was wide and warm, but there was a touch of perfume that did not belong to her. Alexa suddenly got sober. The next second, she tore off the coat and threw it to Terrence. ¡°I don¡¯t want it. Someone must have worn it before.¡± Alexa was still angry. Terrence didn¡¯t know whether tough or cry and tentatively put the coat back on her. ¡°No one wore it. Hurry up and wear it. Be careful not to catch a cold.¡± Alexa was rarely so quiet and obedient and allowed Terrence to carry her back into the car. ¡°How can I see Damarion like this?¡± She held her forehead in annoyance and felt a headache that was about to explode because of drinking the wine. ¡°Don¡¯t worry,¡± Terrence said, ¡°I got someone to make a hangover soup. ¡°Thank you¡­¡± Alexa¡¯s voice gradually weakened. She put down her guard and sat down in the seat, soon falling into a deep sleep. Terrence drove the car to the nearby the Ramsey¡¯s old residence and carried Alexa into the house in front of everyone. ¡°Why did Alexa drink so much? Is she alright?¡± Rebekah asked worriedly. ¡°She¡¯s fine. I¡¯ll call the doctor over.¡± After Terrence ced Alexa on the bed, she lightly snorted and pulled the quilt over herself to cover herself. Rebekah went to the kitchen to get the soup, and Terrence wiped Alexa with a towel. Seeing the wine stains on her clothes, Terrence paused.He whispered to Alexa. ¡°Your clothes are dirty. You have to change them.¡± Alexa heard the voice in her ear and did not think about what it was. She just responded vaguely. Terrence¡¯s eyes darkened and he silently unbuttoned her clothes. At that moment, Rebekah came back with the hangover soup. Terrence was startled and instantly sat down obediently to the side. ¡°How is Alexa?¡± ¡°She is alright,¡± Terrence answered in a muffled voice. Rebekah looked at the two of them and felt extremely happy. ¡°Then hurry up and feed her the hangover soup. I will return to my room first.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Terrence nodded. After Rebekah left, he continued to unbutton the second button. He didn¡¯t know why he always felt that he was like a pervert who had an ulterior motive. When he began to unbutton thest button, Terrence was a little absent-minded and Alexa suddenly grabbed his wrist. ¡°Are you awake?¡± Terrence quickly got up, pretending nothing had happened. ¡°Hurry up and change your clothes, then drink the hangover soup.¡± After a long while, Alexa behind him did not respond. Terrence lowered his head in confusion. Alexa¡¯s hand had quietly slipped and was currently tightly gripping his finger. ¡°Where are you going?¡± She spoke softly, her tone carrying a deep sense of grievance. Terrence suddenly became absent-minded, and he even had the illusion that he was still in the past. At that time, Alexa was his legitimate wife. ¡°I will go and bring the hangover soup over,¡± he exined softly. ¡°Okay¡­¡± Alexa pondered for a moment, but she still did not let go. ¡°Can¡¯t you stay with me?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll be with you.¡± Alexa did not seem to believe it and muttered with some dissatisfaction. Terrence was about to let go when Alexa suddenly pulled hard. He immediately fell onto the bed without any precautions. ¡°Alexa¡­¡± The person who had been very weak a moment ago now boldly sat on Terrence¡¯sp and arrogantly pulled on his tie. Alexa whispered, ¡°Where do you want to go?¡± The blush on her face had not yet dissipated, and it made her look even more charming at this moment. ¡°Stop messing around.¡± Terrence¡¯s voice was hoarse, and he unconsciously lowered his voice. ¡°The hangover soup is going to get cold.¡± Alexazily looked up, not showing any intention of letting go. ¡°You don¡¯t like me, do you?¡± she suddenly asked. Hearing this, Terrence was caught off guard. Seeing him hesitate, Alexa pulled his tie in dissatisfaction. ¡°Answer me.¡± ¡°No. I like you¡­¡± Terrence replied honestly. ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Alexa smiled with satisfaction, and her soft body pressed tightly against him. ¡°I want to kiss you now.¡± Alexa announced solemnly while Terrence suddenly became nervous. Her soft lips wandered around the side of his neck, leaving behind lipstick marks. Just as Terrence was waiting expectantly for her to kiss him, Alexa stopped. ¡°I¡¯m so tired, Kieran¡­¡± Kieran? Kieran Powell? Terrence was so angry that he could not believe that Alexa was shouting Kieran¡¯s name at this time. ¡°Alexa, say it again.¡± Terrence said in a warning tone, but Alexa did not respond at that moment. He looked back in disbelief and saw that Alexa had fallen asleep on the bed. The anger in Terrence¡¯s heart instantly disappeared without a trace. T¨ºxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org. He took a shower andy down on the bed to hug Alexa. Over the years, this was one of his few deep sleeps. However, the next morning,Terrence was woken up by a frightened scream Chapter 261 Chapter 261 Chapter 261 You Must Be Exhausted Last Night Terrence slowly woke up and saw Alexa holding the quilt and hiding in the corner, staring at him with a guarded look. ¡°Terrence!¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Terrence responded in a low voice and stood up unhurriedly to lift the quilt. ¡°Don¡¯t move!¡± Alexa asked anxiously and shyly, ¡°Last night, did you¡­ did you¡­¡± ¡°What?¡± Terrence asked despite knowing what Alexa was asking about. ¡°Were you the one who changed my clothes?¡± ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . ¡°Sure, who else do you think it should be? Kieran?¡± When Terrence thought of the name that Alexa had called outst night, Terrence¡¯s heart was instantly filled with anxiety. Alexa was a stupid woman who did not know what was good for her! ¡°Then have you ¡­ done anything to me?¡± Alexa struggled and asked the question, but Terrence did not say a word. A momentter, Terrence chuckled yfully. ¡°Alexa, do you feel anything?¡± ¡°Feeling? What feeling?¡± Alexa understood Terrence¡¯s words and immediately nced at him with a sullen expression. ¡°Nonsense, of course, I don¡¯t feel anything!¡± As soon as Alexa finished speaking, the man who was still in bed just now directly walked up to her. Alexa subconsciously retreated and mmed into the wall. This time, there was no way out. ¡°Terrence, stay there. What are you doing¡­¡± Terrence pressed his hand against the wall, forcing Alexa to fall into his encirclement. ¡°It¡¯s right that you don¡¯t feel anything. Or do you need me to help you recall what you should feel?¡± Alexa knew that the current situation was very dangerous. ¡°No, thanks! I¡¯m not interested.¡± Alexa put her hand over Terrence¡¯s chest with a cold face. ¡°You were the one who wanted to sleep with mest night. Now you have the nerve to say that you¡¯re not interested?¡± Terrence¡¯s gaze was resentful, and Alexa immediately lost her voice. It was just like a bolt from the blue. ¡°What did you say?!¡± ¡°You don¡¯t remember?¡± Terrence¡¯s face quickly darkened. ¡°Have you forgotten all the things you said and did after getting drunk?¡± ¡°Terrence, are you kidding me? Why would I say that I wanted to sleep¡­ with you?¡± Alexa¡¯s voice was getting weaker and weaker, and she even began to doubt herself. Looking at this bastard¡¯s appearance, Alexa felt that she was a heinous sinner. ¡°I knew you didn¡¯t want to take responsibility.¡±Alexa didn¡¯t know what to say. ¡°If I hadn¡¯t stopped you, you would have stripped me of my clothes long ago.¡± ¡°This is impossible.¡± Both of them didn¡¯t speak. They were silent for a moment. Alexa¡¯s expression changed. Alexa drankst night. She wouldn¡¯t have really done something to Terrence, right? However, Terrence did not continue to argue with Alexa. Soon, he left without a word. Alexa looked at his back nkly and always felt that Terrence seemed to be very angry. ¡°Terrence.¡± ¡°What?¡± Terrence turned his back to her. ¡°What else do you want to say?¡± ¡°If I really have done something to you, don¡¯t take it to heart.¡± As soon as these words came out, Terrence¡¯s cold and indifferent aura suddenly became deep and vicious. What did she say? Terrence turned his head to the side with a dark face, only to see that Alexa was still standing there like a frightened deer. ¡°I was drunk. No matter what I say or do, don¡¯t take it seriously.¡± ¡°You are also like this in front of Kieran?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Terrence did not reply. Alexa rushed out of the door without looking back and never came back. ¡°Strange¡­¡± Alexa muttered softly, but she had long been ustomed to Terrence¡¯s cloudiness and uncertainty, so she did not take this matter to heart. After taking care of it, Alexa went to the living room on her own. ¡°Alexa,e and eat breakfast.¡± Jason warmly greeted Alexa, and Rebekah personally got up and poured a cup of hot milk for Alexa. The two words ¡°Dad¡± and ¡°Mom¡± were about to be blurted out. However, when Alexa saw Sadie at the side, she instantly changed her words. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Mrs. Ramsey, good morning.¡± ¡°Alexa, why are you being so polite to us?¡± Rebekah smiled. Alexa smiled indifferently. When she sat at the dining table, Sadie took the initiative to speak up. ¡°Alexa, did you sleep tightst night?¡± Alexa looked up and politely said. ¡°Not bad.¡± ¡°Okay, that¡¯s good.¡± After Sadie asked this question, she continued to eat the food on the te in a refined manner. Alexa smiled. She already understood why Sadie asked so.Sadie already had the temperament of the head of the family. Sadie didn¡¯t argue about it, she was magnanimous and calm. She was simply a standard daughter-in- law of a wealthy family. At that moment, Terrence quietly came out of the stairs. ¡°Terrence, sit down, or breakfast will be cold.¡± Hearing Sadie¡¯s voice, Terrence¡¯s eyes immediately fell gently on her. ¡°Got it, thank you.¡± After Terrence finished speaking, he naturally sat in front of Sadie. He even personally peeled an egg and put it on Sadie¡¯s te. ¡°Make yourself feel at home. You must be exhausted fromst night, right?¡± ¡°Thank you, Terrence.¡± Sadie smiled gently and her face immediately turned red. Hearing the conversation between the two of them, Rebekah gave Terrence a look of dissatisfaction. Terrence saw it, but he did not take any action. And Alexa did not have the slightest reaction. She had been eating the food on her te very seriously as if the two people opposite her did not exist at all. ¡°Alexa. Let Terrence send you to thepanyter. You drank so muchst night. I think you will be ufortable today,¡± Rebekah said in concern. Before Alexa could answer, Terrence interrupted coldly. ¡°I¡¯m going out with Sadie. I don¡¯t have time to send her off.¡± The smile on Rebekah¡¯s face immediately faded and she nced at Terrence with anger in her eyes. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, Terrence. I can go by myself.¡± ¡°No, you are not safe alone. I am worried.¡± Seeing that Terrence was so rebellious, Rebekah would never allow such a situation to happen. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, Mrs. Ramsey.¡± Alexa timely said. Her gentle smile immediately cooled Rebekah¡¯s anger by half. ¡°My family wille to pick me up. Don¡¯t worry. Sadie is younger and needs someone to stay with her.¡± At this point, Rebekah could not say anything more and had to let them go. After breakfast, Alexa said goodbye to the two elders and went out. Terrence and Sadie followed closely behind, but neither of them said a word to Alexa. Alexa didn¡¯t want to talk to them either and walked to the door on her own. Not long after, Terrence¡¯s Rolls-Royce Phantom sped past her in a high-profile manner, blowing the dust on her face. Alexa silently retracted her gaze. She really did not know what was wrong with Terrence. Alexa was waiting for the Duran family¡¯s driver toe over, but two minutester, a silvery-gray Porsche slowly stopped in front of her. The car window rolled down, revealing Kieran¡¯s smiling handsome face. ¡°Alexa. Get in the car.¡¯ ¡°Kieran, why are you here?¡± Alexa did not hesitate and immediately opened the door and sat in the passenger seat. ¡°I know you are here, so I came here.¡± Chapter 262 Chapter 262 Chapter 262 Don¡¯t Waste My Time ¡°Thank you.¡± The smile on Alexa¡¯s face unconsciously widened. Kieran took out a paper bag and handed it to her. ¡°There is hot coffee and sandwiches inside. I made them.¡± ¡°Kieran, thank you so much.¡± ¡°It¡¯s my pleasure.¡± Kieran smiled gently, and Alexa¡¯s smile became sweeter. ¡°Did you sleep wellst night? I didn¡¯t think it through properly. Sorry I made you suffer,¡± Kieran said apologetically. ¡°No, I am the one who caused trouble for you. Grandpa must be very angry.¡± ¡°Mrs. Powell of the Powell family was bullied like this. He is indeed angry. At least the Golding family can¡¯t be so arrogant anymore.¡± Kieran said calmly. Alexa pursed her lips. She obviously did not want to bring so much trouble to the old man. ¡°Alexa, those letters¡­¡± ¡°Those letters were written by me. When I was young, I was stupid. I always liked to dream about illusions,¡± Alexa smiled. ¡°No matter what, I want you to be happy.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Sensing that Alexa¡¯s mood was not quite right, Kieran stopped talking. Moreover, Kieran did not want to mention that person¡¯s name in front of Alexa at all. But a momentter, a Rolls-Royce Phantom suddenly stopped in front of their car and forced Kieran to stop. The gentle smile on Kieran¡¯s face immediately froze into ice. He quickly unfastened his seat belt and pushed open the door to get out of the car. ¡°I¡¯ll deal with it.¡± ¡°Kieran¡­¡± Alexa hurriedly called out to him, a trace of fear hidden in her tone. Didn¡¯t Terrence leave just now? Why did hee back now? However, Terrence didn¡¯t go around the front passenger seat at all. Instead, he walked directly to Kieran. Alexa saw him sneer as he handed something to Kieran. The two of them left without saying many words. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . After Kieran got in the car, he showed the thing in his palm to Alexa. ¡°He said that this is the ring you droppedst night.¡± Alexa saw the custom-made diamond ring and did not intend to reach out to take it. Alexa did not wear any ringsst night, and this ring was bought by herself when they got married. Alexa¡¯s eyshes fluttered. A long time ago, she threw away the ring. What did Terrence mean? ¡°Alexa, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Kieran¡¯s voice made her suddenlye back to her senses. There was no smile on Alexa¡¯s face. She threw the ring out of the window with a cold face. ¡°It¡¯s not my ring.¡± Alexa said nonchntly, ¡°It¡¯s just trash.¡± Kieran smiled helplessly, as if nothing had happened, and continued to drive her to thepany. ¡°ra has a boyfriend.¡± Kieran suddenly said, ¡°They are going to have dinner with us tonight. Are you free?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± Alexa nodded with a smile. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll pick you up after work tonight.¡± After watching Alexa enter Vision Group Building, Kieran reluctantly drove away. At this time, Alexa had already heard the whispers of the surrounding employees. Someone even boldly stepped forward. The guy asked. ¡°Ms. Duran, is that your husband?¡± Alexa was stunned and smiled generously. ¡°No.¡± ¡°Sorry, Ms. Duran¡­¡± The man immediately apologized in a panic, only to hear Alexa say. ¡°He¡¯s my boyfriend.¡± The guy was stunned. Alexa briskly took the exclusive elevator to the office, but Terrence sent a text message. ¡°I¡¯m in the garage,e down.¡± Alexa instantly rolled her eyes impatiently and then threw her phone aside, not wanting to pay attention to him at all. However, a minuteter, Terrence sent another message. ¡°Come down.¡± Alexa was worried that Terrence woulde to her office directly, so she had to pick up her phone and call him. ¡°If you have something to say, just say it. I don¡¯t have time toe down.¡± ¡°You actually took the initiative to call me?¡± Terrence chuckled. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll hang up.¡± ¡°What are you in a hurry for? Afraid of me?¡± Terrence asked calmly. ¡°Don¡¯t waste my time.¡± ¡°Alexa, you don¡¯t want me to like someone else?¡± Alexa was shocked by this inexplicable question and her face instantly got gloomy. ¡°Are you crazy?¡± Alexa hung up the phone in an instant. Terrence was stunned and did not speak for a long time. She had a bad temper. Terrence called again. This time, Alexa hung up the phone directly. Terrence didn¡¯t know what to do, but he didn¡¯t want to make Alexa angry, so he left thepany. Alexa stood in front of the window and saw Terrence¡¯s car slowly drive away from Vision Group building. He really came? It¡¯s so funny! Alexa put down her coffee. She didn¡¯t expect Keyon to bring Damarion here. ¡°Have you been busytely?¡± ¡°Keyon, why did you bring Damarion here?¡± Alexa cried out in surprise and immediately carried Damarion over. ¡°Mom, I miss you so much.¡± ¡°Baby, I miss you too.¡± ¡°I wanted toe to thepany to help so that you and your son could have a chance to rx.¡± Keyon said as if he suddenly thought of something unimportant. ¡°Oh right, the Golding Group has already gone bankrupt. Brenton should have been very busy recently.¡± ¡°Keyon, you ¡­ know?¡± ¡°Those people who bullied my sister, I will remember them clearly. Moreover, I have already shown enough mercy.¡± Keyon said emotionlessly. Since things had alreadye to this point, Alexa did not want to say anything more. ¡°Then Carissa ¡­ Ms. Barrell, what happened afterward?¡± Keyon¡¯s eyes became colder, and his tone was cold as he said. ¡°I don¡¯t care what happened to her.¡± For so many years, Alexa had always been thinking about these good friends. Alexa never thought that Carissa would set her up. ¡°Could it be Terrence who ordered it?¡± Keyon analyzed in anger, ¡°Use this to ruin your reputation, and then he can contact thewyer to take Damarion back.¡± Hearing this, Alexa subconsciously hugged Damarion tighter. ¡°He can¡¯t be so bad, right?¡± ¡°Mom¡­¡± Damarion mumbled and put his arms around Alexa¡¯s neck because he didn¡¯t feel secure. Alexa immediately changed the topic and kissed Damarion¡¯s chubby face. ¡°Damarion has grown taller recently. It¡¯s so good.¡± Looking at the mother and son, Keyon sighed helplessly in his heart. And at this time, Terrence had already returned to the Hudson Group building. Sadie put the coffee she had personally brewed on Terrence¡¯s table and then naturally stood at his table to wait. Hearing the sound of the door opening, Sadie delicately brushed the hair on her temples. ¡°Mr. Ramsey.¡± Hearing Sadie¡¯s voice, Terrence¡¯s face immediately became a little more guarded. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Terrence asked casually, and his cold attitude made Sadie somewhat puzzled. Sadie shook her head, and her tone softened a bit. ¡°Edwin said that you are going to Das to inspect the market. Can I go with you?¡± Terrence flipped open the document and did not even look at Sadie. ¡°What are you going to do?¡± ¡°I ¡­ just want to go to the field to investigate and prepare for the future work.¡± Terrence was silent for a long time before he finally slowly raised his eyes. ¡°Vision Group will also send people here.¡± Chapter 263 Chapter 263 Chapter 263 Have You Never Seen a Man? Sadie¡¯s expression changed slightly as she heard that. ¡°Will Alexa also go there? Then I¡¯d better not go, Mr. Ramsey. What if she misunderstands us¡­¡± ¡°How is that possible?¡± Hearing Terrence¡¯s sneer, Sadie immediately looked at him expectantly. ¡°You go with me. Don¡¯t worry,¡± he said indifferently. ¡°Thank you, Mr. Ramsey.¡± Sadie smiled brightly and ignored Alexapletely. Sadie thought, anyway, she¡¯s Mr. Ramsey¡¯s ex-wife and shouldn¡¯t interfere in his private affairs. After Sadie left, Terrence picked up his phone and started to read Alexa¡¯s Twitter. She would share her daily life there almost every day, and Terrence would read all of her posts every day. It was as if her life was still closely rted to him. Terrence read until he looked at thetest photo posted by her. It was taken in the dim street lights with the shadows of two people holding their hands. Alexa wrote, ¡°One is my shadow, and the other is also mine.¡± She was straightforward without concealing her feelings. Terrence instantly clenched his fists. He remained calm, but the veins on his forehead were bulging. He read thements, and everyone was blessing Alexa. Terrence knew who the man holding her hand was. No one mentioned what had happened at the banquet that day. They all felt that Alexa and Kieran were supposed to be with each other. Terrence was furious, but he didn¡¯t send a message to Alexa until he was about to get off work. ¡°Are you getting off work? I will go pick you up.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to do that. I have to do something.¡± Terrence did not give up after being given the cold shoulder. ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to have dinner with Kieran.¡± Seeing this, Terrence immediately left the office. ¡°Wait for me downstairs at yourpany. I¡¯ll be there right now. ¡°You¡¯re not allowed to go with him. ¡°Understood, Alexa? Reply to me!¡± Alexa looked coldly at these messages and gradually lost her patience. ¡°Terrence, I¡¯ll eat with Kieran. What does that have to do with you?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll immediately let you know.¡± After sending the message, Terrence rushed to the garage and drove to herpany directly. Alexa didn¡¯t know what to say. After a touch-up, she was ready to meet Kieran. However, five minutester, Terrence called her. ¡°Come down.¡± Alexa frowned at the two words. ¡°I¡¯ve said I¡­¡± Before she finished it, the office door was pushed open. Alexa turned to look in surprise, only to see Terrence¡¯s gloomy face at the door. This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Why are you here? Others will see you.¡± Terrence ignored her and closed the door. The atmosphere in the room instantly became frosty. Alexa stood still as she was unable to move at all. ¡°Alexa, you don¡¯t really want to see me, do you?¡± Terrence stared at her coldly with deep eyes. As he walked towards her, he unbuttoned his jacket, threw it away, and then loosened his tie. ¡°Terrence¡­¡± ¡°Why are you hiding from me?¡± As soon as Terrence finished speaking, he picked up Alexa and put her on the desk. Her knees were against his lower abdomen. Alexa blush instantly when finding that they were so close to each other. ¡°Or do you think you can hide from me?¡± ¡°Terrence, stop it. Let me go!¡± He did not reply and easily stopped her from moving her legs with his hands. Alexa could not move, but she did not dare to look him in the eye. ¡°What¡¯s so good about that Kieran? Have you never seen a man?¡± ¡°Terrence, you don¡¯t deserve to talk about him like that!¡± Terrence sighed with a cold face, ¡°I can¡¯t believe that now you¡¯re so protective of him.¡± ¡°Terrence, if you don¡¯t let me go, I will call for help!¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Terrence raised his eyebrows slightly and whispered in a calm voice. ¡°Up to you.¡± Alexa had wanted to scare him, but he didn¡¯t care about it at all. She could only turn to avoid his eyes, but Terrence held her jaw tightly in his hand and kissed her regardless of her resistance. Alexa was shocked with her eyes wide open, but Terrence became ruder and bit her lips crazily as if he was venting his anger. ¡°No¡­¡± Alexa kept hitting him on the chest. Terrence ended the kiss reluctantly and looked at her with unsatisfied desire. Alexa¡¯s tender lips instantly became red and swollen. She red at Terrence and raised her hand to wipe her lips. ¡°You¡¯re a crazy man! How could you do this?¡± she shouted hysterically. ¡°Are you afraid that Kieran will find it?¡± Alexa¡¯s eyes grew misty because of Terrence¡¯s provocative remarks. She held back her tears and said stubbornly in a choked voice. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m afraid that he¡¯ll see it.¡± Terrence gritted his teeth and revealed an evil smile. He narrowed his eyes spitefully. ¡°Alexa, do you think you can escape? Since you are not obedient, what should I do?¡± Seeing his look, Alexa broke out in a cold sweat. She was desperate to get out of the ce right now, but she failed no matter what she did. Terrence¡¯s neat shirt was now disarranged, and the slightly open neck vaguely revealed his strong muscles. But now Alexa was not in the mood to look, and she grew scared. ¡°Terrence, for thest time, we have divorced.¡± She looked serious, but Terrence was unconcerned. ¡°So?¡± ¡°If you continue to harass me like this, I can call the police at any time.¡± ¡°I have never stopped you.¡± Terrence said this lightly, which frustrated Alexa. With his power, he could do whatever he wanted in the whole world, let alone in a city like New York. ¡°Terrence, what exactly do you want?¡± ¡°I just have a simple request from beginning to end. Break up with Kieran ande back to me with Damarion,¡± Terrence repeated patiently. ¡°That¡¯s impossible.¡± ¡°Alexa, you wrote those letters to me, right? Why didn¡¯t you show them to me? You have been secretly in love with me for a long time, haven¡¯t you?¡± Terrence smiled confidently. ¡°What are you talking about? How could I have a crush on you!¡± Alexa hurried to exin, but she was too emotional, which caused Terrence to feel more suspicious. ¡°When did you fall in love with me?¡± ¡°Believe it or not, I¡¯ve never loved you!¡± Alexa raised her hand to push him again, but someone suddenly knocked at the door. She instantly grew nervous and looked at Terrence in panic. ¡°Let go of me!¡± Terrence did not say anything, but he obviously did not intend to let her go. He looked at the door with a mocking smile and knew who was there. The knock soon stopped, and a minuteter, Alexa¡¯s phone rang. Terrence looked down and saw the name at a nce. ¡°Kieran.¡± He said it in a sarcastic tone and started to develop hatred. ¡°Let me pick it up for you. What do you think?¡± Chapter 264 Chapter 264 Chapter 264 Think About Me ¡°No!¡± Looking at Alexa¡¯s panicked expression, the nameless anger in Terrence¡¯s heart burned even more fiercely. The phone rang for a long time. Terrence stared at Alexa¡¯s watery eyes silently and finally let go of her. ¡°Alexa, you¡¯re gonna drive me crazy for anger.¡± Terrence stood to the side with a sullen expression and tidied up his clothes, no longer giving Alexa an extra look. Think about it, where could he, Terrence, suffer a loss, and who dared to make him suffer a loss? The woman behind him made a rustling sound, and Terrence slightly turned his head, only to see Alexa running out of the office in a panic with her handbag without looking back. Three minutester, Terrence watched coldly as Kieran¡¯s car drove into the traffic. At this time, Edwin called. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Jovan hase to New York again. For the time being, there is no action.¡± Terrence¡¯s mood was already on the verge of rage, and Jovan¡¯s arrival was undoubtedly rubbing it in. But even so, Terrence still rationally and coldly lowered his voice to give an order. ¡°Send someone to keep an eye on him. Don¡¯t give him the chance to hurt Alexa.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± After leaving Vision Group, Terrence drove to the restaurant. Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. At this time, Kieran had already entered the private room with Alexa. Tonight, not only were there ra and her boyfriend, even Conley, and the others were sitting there. Seeing Alexa and Kieran, Conley nodded at them quietly. Alexa naturally walked to the seat next to Conley and sat down. Kieran followed her and walked over, never letting go of her hand from beginning to end. Kieran went to greet the other friends, and Alexa went over to whisper with Conley. ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°As a qualified knight, shouldn¡¯t I protect my princess anytime and anywhere?¡± ¡°You¡¯re making fun of me again.¡± ¡°I wanted to see you, so I came.¡± Conley said seriously, his amber eyes glimmering. ¡°A man¡¯s words are most likely untrustworthy.¡± Kieran had a gentle smile on his face as he pulled Alexa to his side. ¡°What are you talking about? Why are you smiling so happily?¡± Kieran looked at Alexa with a smile in his eyes. ¡°It¡¯s nothing. Mr. Powell, you¡¯re finally free today?¡± Conley didn¡¯t mention what they were talking about just now. ¡°Apanying Alexa is a very important thing.¡± Alexa¡¯s face was slightly red. She subconsciously avoided Kieran¡¯s gentle gaze and picked up the water in front of her to take a sip. Conley smiled lightly. The emotions in his heart were a littleplicated. After everyone arrived, ra, who was sitting on the other side, got up with a young man. ¡°Today, I will formally introduce you to everyone. This is Ross, my boyfriend.¡± After saying that, ra smiled sweetly and leaned into Ross¡¯s arms. The man held her hand tightly. Ross said, ¡°Hello everyone, my name is Ross Johnson.¡± Alexa looked at the young couple with envy. When she turned to look at Kieran, there was no happy smile on his face. After all, ra was Kieran¡¯s most beloved sister. How could an older brother allow another man to take care of her so easily? Sensing Alexa¡¯s gaze, Kieran quietly held her hand under the table. ¡°Are you unhappy?¡± Alexa asked quietly. ¡°No.¡± Kieran tightened his grip on her hand, indicating her to be at ease. ¡°It¡¯s good as long as ra likes him.¡± Alexa had just learned about Ross in advance. Ross was the second young master of the Johnson family, which was also rich and powerful. He had grown up abroad since he was a child. Ross had not entered the Johnson family¡¯spany yet but had chosen to be a photographer. However, this meal was quite harmonious. Kieran kept smiling and did not make things difficult for Ross. Alexa silently ate her food and listened to them, but her phone kept receiving messages. ¡°Is there an urgent matter?¡± Kieran asked sincerely. ¡°No. It should be thepany¡¯s business. It doesn¡¯t matter if we deal with itter.¡± Alexa replied without hesitation. After that, Alexa secretly nced at her phone.Her face instantly turned pale, and she got up with an unnatural expression. ¡°Sorry, I need to go to the bathroom.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Kieran got up and followed her without any exnation. As soon as Kieran closed the door, he asked gently. ¡°Is it Terrence?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Kieran. I promised you that I would break up with him, but¡­¡± ¡°I can understand.¡± Kieran put his hand on her shoulder and said, ¡°No matter what happens, I will face it with you.¡± The promise was too heavy, and Alexa¡¯s eyes were fixed elsewhere, not knowing how to respond to him. ¡°I¡¯ll go to repair my makeup.¡± After that, Alexa quickly hid in the bathroom. Kieran sat in a seat not far away, waiting for her. His eyes were cold as he looked at the night scene of the traffic downstairs. The night in this city was always bright, but whichmp was left for Kieran? In a daze, Kieran saw a figure from the corner of his eyes. Kieran looked sideways and saw Terrence at the corner. The two looked at each other through the air and did not say a word. Terrence¡¯s footsteps only paused for two seconds before he quickly left. At this time, Alexa came out of the bathroom. Kieran¡¯s smile deepened and he directly hugged her by the waist. ¡°Kieran, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Alexa sat on Kieran¡¯sp and subconsciously hooked her arms around Kieran¡¯s neck. ¡°The belt is loose.¡± Hearing this, Alexa looked down at her waist. As expected, the belt on her trench coat was loose. ¡°I¡¯ll do it myself.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll do it.¡± After saying that, Kieran gently wrapped her arms around her waist and casually looked up at her. Alexa was caught off guard and her heart skipped a beat. The two of them were acting intimately at that moment. Kieran put his hands around her waist as if he was tightly holding her in his arms. Kieran had always been gentle, but at this moment, Alexa saw the burning desire in his eyes. ¡°Alright.¡± Kieran¡¯s voice pulled Alexa back to reality. Alexa came back to her senses and looked at Kieran stiffly. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Don¡¯t you want to let go?¡± Kieran¡¯s voice was full of affection and yfulness, and his hands spread to the side without any resistance. Alexa saw that she had not released her hand, and her face instantly turned red as if she was on fire. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry!¡± Alexa withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted, but Kieran took the opportunity to hold her hand. Alexa lowered her head in embarrassment, not daring to look up at Kieran. Damn it, why was she so distracted that she hugged Kieran and refused to let go! ¡°What are you thinking about?¡± ¡°Well, nothing.¡± After Alexa finished speaking, she heard Kieran chuckle in a low voice. ¡°Think about me, okay?¡± Why is he ¡­ acting like a spoiled child? Alexa looked sideways at Kieran, but he still looked like a gentle and elegant young man without any hint of a joke. ¡°Watch the road, be careful.¡± Chapter 265 Chapter 265 Chapter 265 Does He Hug You Like This? Alexa immediately came back to her senses and guiltily averted her gaze like a thief who had been caught on the spot. Kieran took her into the room, and they sat down as if nothing had happened. However, Conley soon discovered the clue. He mysteriously approached Alexa and asked as if nothing had happened. ¡°Where did you guys go just now?¡± ¡°We didn¡¯t go anywhere.¡± Alexabed the hair around her temple subconsciously. ¡°Look at how adorable you are,¡± Conley teased her. ¡°You must fall in love.¡± Alexa was speechless. After dinner, Kieran went to talk to Ross. ra and Alexa were sitting at the side, chatting about irrelevant topics. ¡°Alexa, what do you think of Ross?¡± ¡°Pretty good. Besides, you two are in love with each other.¡± Alexa said it so seriously while ra was very embarrassed. ¡°It was me who asked him out.¡± ra was shilly-shallying. ¡°He epted my love yesterday.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter as long as you guys love each other,¡± Alexa smiled brightly. ¡°Yes.¡± A smile finally appeared on ra¡¯s delicate little face. Suddenly, she turned to look at the two men walking towards them. Kieran naturally walked to Alexa and held her hand. ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble you to send ra home,¡± said Kieran to Ross. ¡°Okay, don¡¯t worry,¡± Ross happily replied. ra stood beside Ross with her loving eyes fixed on him. ¡°We have to go,¡± Kieran said softly. After they walked out of the hotel, a cold night wind suddenly blew, blowing the fragrance on Kieran¡¯s body into the distance. Alexa adjusted her cor and fell into a warm embrace the next moment. ¡°Are you cold?¡± Kieran held her hand carefully and frowned slightly. ¡°Why is your hand so cold?¡± ¡°It¡¯s just the wind. I¡¯m not cold.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go home.¡± After saying that, Kieran took her hand and put it into his pocket. They got closer and closer, just like a couple in love. However, Alexa suddenly noticed a cold light that seemed to pierce her. She subconsciously turned her head, just in time to meet Terrence¡¯s deep and cold eyes. Kieran casually nced at him, ignored him, and continued to lead Alexa forward. ¡°He followed us,¡± Alexa whispered to Kieran. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. I am here.¡± ¡°Alexa, stop!¡± Terrence ordered with a gloomy face, but Alexa did not stop. ¡°Alexa, can¡¯t you hear me?¡± His tone became colder and colder. Terrence directly quickened his pace to catch up with them. Alexa suffered pain and turned back with a pale face. Terrence grabbed the wrist of her other hand so tightly that it seemed as if he wanted to crush her hand. ¡°Terrence, let her go.¡± Kieran darkened his face. ¡°You bastard. How dare you order me?¡± Terrence was furious as even a wisp of sinister killing intent shed quickly across his face. He arrogantly looked at Alexa¡¯s face, and his tone was as cold as ice. ¡°Come with me.¡± ¡°Let go of her.¡± Kieran strode forward to protect Alexa without the intention of backing down at all. At the entrance of the hotel, they pushed and shoved, which immediately attracted the attention of passersby. Alexa didn¡¯t want to make a scene, so shepromised. ¡°Terrence, let me go. I will go with you.¡± ¡°Alexa,¡± Kieran said with a serious expression, ¡°don¡¯t go with him.¡± ¡°What right do you have to stop me?¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes became more and more dangerous. ¡°Terrence, what right do you have to take her away?¡± ¡°Because she is my wife.¡± Terrence said it firmly, and the scene suddenly became quiet for a moment. Kieran gritted his teeth with anger. ¡°You divorced a long time ago,¡± Kieran sneered. ¡°She is my girlfriend now.¡± ¡°So?¡± Terrence made nothing of him. ¡°From now on, she is not your girlfriend.¡± After saying that, Terrence took Alexa away without looking back. She silently gave Kieran a look, signaling him to hurry back. But Kieran stood still and finally punched the stone pir at the entrance. Why can¡¯t I protect her every time? Why? thought Kieran. Meanwhile, Alexa had been stuffed into the back seat of the car by Terrence. He followed closely and came in wrapped in a cold wind. Alexa quickly dodged to the side in an attempt to distance herself from him. Terrence, however, effortlessly pulled her over and tore off her coat. ¡°What¡­¡± Alexa¡¯s expression changed as she cried out in fear. And Terrence only tore off her coat and then easily carried her into his arms. ¡°Did he hug you like this just now?¡± Hearing Terrence¡¯s question, Alexa finally recovered from the shock. He had seen everything that had happened in the hotel just now. Alexa did not answer while Terrence pulled out his handkerchief in the blink of an eye and ruthlessly wiped her hand. ¡°Did he hold your hand just now?¡± ¡°Terrence, have you had enough?¡± Alexa wanted to withdraw her hand, but Terrence held her hand tightly without any exnation and kissed the back of her hand affectionately. ¡°How can you remember what I said to you? How about I chop off your hand?¡± he said quietly. Alexa was lost for words. Seeing that she sat still, Terrence thought she seemed to be frightened. Terrence then yed with her slender fingers without words. The carriage quickly quieted down, and Alexa could even hear her heartbeat. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you talking?¡± Terrence smiled slightly. ¡°Are you afraid of me?¡± ¡°Boring.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, a loud bang suddenly came from behind the car. Thinking of that night many years ago, Alexa still had lingering fears. She looked at Terrence uneasily. ¡°What¡¯s the sound behind?¡± she asked tentatively. ¡°What sound? I didn¡¯t hear it.¡± It was so loud that it couldn¡¯t be her hallucination! Alexa still wanted to argue, but Terrence suddenly pressed her down on the seat and kissed her delicate lips possessively. ¡°Oh¡­¡± Alexa was suffocated by him and was forced to endure Terrence¡¯s plunder. It seemed that she was drowning in the deep sea. She only knew that she was quickly sinking and could not grasp a life-saving straw. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . Realizing that she was distracted, Terrence bit her neither lightly nor heavily. ¡°Concentrate.¡± Alexa bent her knees to his waist, but Terrence did not take her resistance seriously at all. An ambiguous kiss ended after a long time. Alexa copsed weakly on the seat and gasped, her clear eyes filled with tears. ¡°Terrence¡­¡± ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°I hate you. I will never forgive you!¡± Chapter 266 Chapter 266 Chapter 266 I¡¯ve Warned You ¡°So what?¡± Terrence sat down on the side in a noble manner, her clothes tidy. Inparison, Alexa was in a terrible state. ¡°I am the president of Vision Group,¡± Alexa said coldly. ¡°As long as I want to, I can make you go bankrupt at any time!¡± ¡°Girl, as long as you want to y, I will y it with you at any time.¡± Terrence gently curved his lips and kissed the back of her hand. Alexa frowned and immediately withdrew her hand with disgust. The driver drove the car in an orderly manner. Terrence tapped his slender index finger and a deep dark light shed across his eyes without a trace. ¡°Terrence, just wait.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯m waiting.¡± Looking at Alexa¡¯s angry face, Terrence was inexplicably in a good mood. ¡°Then tell me why you went to eat with Kieran.¡± Hearing this, Alexa sneered. ¡°I am not your subordinate. Do I need to report to you why I eat with my boyfriend?¡± Terrence did not fly into a rage out of humiliation as she had imagined. Instead, he chuckled in his heart. ¡°Alexa, you are just ying with him, right?¡± Hearing his low voice, Alexa raised her eyebrows slightly. ¡°Terrence, I think you are not awake?¡± ¡°Even if you lie to the whole world, you can¡¯t lie to me,¡± Terrence said confidently. ¡°You said that you loved him. But I don¡¯t believe it.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t you believe it?¡± Alexa fearlessly met his gaze. ¡°We have done everything you and I have done. Why don¡¯t you believe me?¡± When she finished speaking, Alexa felt Terrence tense up with coldness. However, a momentter, Terrence sneered without warning. ¡°You love him, but does he love you?¡± The car fell into a moment of silence. Terrence¡¯s thoughts became distorted. He even wished that a storm would fall right now. ¡°If he loves you, will he let me take you away every time?¡± Terrence darkened his face with coldness. ¡°Alexa, you kept shouting my name that night.¡± How was this possible? Alexa suddenly stopped and grabbed the hem of her clothes tightly without words. ¡°What? You don¡¯t want to admit it?¡± Terrence¡¯s tone became colder and harsher. He even showed the pleasure of ying with his prey in the palm of his hand. He was a natural superior. ¡°If you forget, I don¡¯t mind helping you recall it personally.¡± Hearing this, Alexa subconsciously hid to the side. ¡°Don¡¯te over.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you want me to go bankrupt? Now you don¡¯t even have nerves?¡± ¡°Terrence, aren¡¯t you bored?¡± Alexa didn¡¯t want to talk to him, but Terrence was still chattering. ¡°Kieran today, Conley tomorrow¡­¡± He paused a little with icy eyes. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, you¡¯re so busy.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to act like this.¡± Alexa looked away coldly and arrogantly. ¡°No matter who I choose, you won¡¯t get a chance.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not the same as them.¡± ¡°Of course, you aren¡¯t.¡± Alexa did not point it out directly. However, Terrence did not understand what she meant at all. Instead, Terrence said proudly, ¡°I am your legitimate husband.¡± ¡°You are funny.¡± There was no smile on Alexa¡¯s face. ¡°Alexa, don¡¯t forget that I have not signed the divorce agreement.¡± ¡°So what?¡± Alexa read his tone. ¡°Do you think I am still the same girl that was trampled on by others?¡± Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. The driver suddenly stopped the car, and the conversation between the two stopped abruptly. Terrence got out of the car and stretched out his hand to her. ¡°Get out of the car.¡± ¡°This is not my house. I won¡¯t get out of the car,¡± Alexa said coldly. ¡°If you want to sleep in the car for a night, it¡¯s OK.¡± ¡°Terrence, I want to go back.¡± ¡°I will send you back tomorrow.¡± After that, Terrence turned around and walked into the house. It was still sote in the night in the wild suburbs. Alexa weighed the pros and cons and had to go in with him. ¡°Are you full just now?¡± Terrence took off his coat and looked back at her. ¡°Do you want me to cook for you?¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m not hungry.¡± ¡°Then go to bed early,¡± he said simply. ¡°Turn left on the second floor and go to the first room. ¡°Where is this?¡± ¡°It¡¯s one of the properties under my name.¡± Alexa rolled her eyes Alexa thought, good answer! Since I¡¯m here, then I should be at ease. Alexa entered the room, took a shower, and then fell asleep. She was too tired today and soon fell asleep on the bed. Meanwhile, Terrence had quietly taken the car to another ce. The biggest entertainment club in New York was Nighty Club. The private room was brightly lit, but the atmosphere inside was very depressing. Jovan leisurely lit a cigar and stared at the man in front of him with a smile. ¡°What happened, Mr. Ramsey? Youe to see me in the middle of the night.¡± Terrence was as cold as ice. ¡°Were you the one who followed the car just now?¡± he slowly asked. ¡°Was the one who fired the gun also your people?¡± ¡°I was wondering what was going on. It was just a small matter.¡± Jovan waved his hand nonchntly and puffed out a smoke ring with great enjoyment. ¡°New York is not big. It¡¯s inevitable for a gun to go off the fire.¡± ¡°Jovan.¡± Terrence tilted his head slightly and his malicious eyes fixed on him. ¡°I think you are digging your own grave.¡± Jovan¡¯s hypocritical smile instantly disappeared after he heard this. ¡°What did you say?¡± Jovan asked calmly, a hint of ruthlessness appearing on his calcting face. The bodyguards from both sides immediately picked up the gun and knife at the same time. ¡°Jovan, I have given you many opportunities,¡± Terrence sneered calmly. ¡°But you insist on stepping on my restricted area?¡± ¡°You want to fall out with me for a woman?¡± Jovan narrowed his eyes in disdain. ¡°Don¡¯t forget the Ramsey family¡¯s business in Russia¡­¡± ¡°The present is different from the past.¡± ¡°Killing that woman is easier than killing an ant for me.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Terrence spoke lightly, his deep eyes quietly turning red. Then he was filled with monstrous killing intent. ¡°I can guarantee that you won¡¯t be able to kill her.¡± ¡°What do you think you can threaten me with? What do I have to be afraid of?¡± ¡°I heard that Derick is out of prison. It is a pity that you have not found him yet, right?¡± Then Jovan¡¯s fierce face immediately softened up. ¡°Before you attack her, you better think about whether you can bear the consequences.¡± Terrence said lightly, giving off a powerful and dangerous vibe. ¡°Don¡¯t say that I didn¡¯t warn you.¡± Jovan was so angry that his face was ferocious, but he did not dare to re up in front of Terrence. It was simply a great humiliation! He could be controlled by a little brat. After he finished speaking, Terrence cleanly left. Not long after, Jovan¡¯s subordinates came to report. ¡°Mr. Clough, the cargo ships in Russia have sunk.¡± Chapter 267 Chapter 267 Chapter 267 Priceless Love ¡°It must be Terrence!¡± Jovan was so angry that he mmed the table and stood up with a ferocious expression. ¡°Mr. Clough, before he goes far, we might as well kill him to prevent future troubles!¡± an assistant suggested. ¡°Stupid!¡± Jovan shouted angrily with a gloomy face and gradually calmed down. ¡°Now it seems that Derick must be under Terrence¡¯s control. ¡°If they make any moves, it will be a big problem.¡± After weighing the matter over and over again, Jovan still did not think of any way to take revenge, so he could only swallow his resentment. At that time, Terrence was already on his way home. It was a peaceful night. But all of a sudden, there was a sudden sh of lightning, and heavy rain swept over in an instant. The driver calmly drove the car, but Terrence slowly opened his eyes as he was resting in the back seat, a hint of worry shing through his eyes. ¡°Please drive faster.¡± The driver suddenly became absent-minded and thought that he had heard something wrong. But he still replied, ¡°Yes.¡± With such heavy rain, Terrence was worried that Alexa would be so afraid that she would lose sleep. Terrence looked down at the ring on his finger. His face darkened, and he seemed rather concerned. Thanks to the driver, the half-an-hour drive took less than 20 minutes at that time. Terrence could not wait to hold the umbre into the yard and went straight to the room on the second floor. When he reached the door, he subconsciously slowed down. After opening the door, Terrence found the room was in darkness. Terrence finally calmed down. Meanwhile, Alexa, who was lying on the bed, was tightly wrapped in the quilt and seemed to be uneasy. Terrence quietly sat by the bed with his cold fingers gently lifting aside Alexa¡¯s hair. As Alexa slept, she slightly frowned, and sweat covered her forehead. Terrence thought, are you having a nightmare again? Terrence narrowed his eyes slightly as he patted Alexa¡¯s palm as if she were a baby. ¡°Alexa. Don¡¯t be afraid. I¡¯m here.¡± At the same time, Alexa seemed to have sensed Terrence¡¯s presence and grabbed his hand without any hesitation, breathing steadily. Terrence stayed by her side, admiring Alexa¡¯s gentle sleeping face through the dim lighting outside the window. ¡°Damarion looks exactly like you. My Alexa.¡± Terrence said with a soft tone and a smile. After a while, Alexa¡¯s phone on the bedside table suddenly rang. The gentleness in Terrence¡¯s eyes instantly disappeared and was reced with a strong coldness. He hung up the phone without thinking. Then Terrence used his phone and took a photo of him and Alexa holding hands. In the blink of an eye, Terrence sent the photo to Kieran. And then Terrence wrote in the message, ¡°My wife is already asleep. If there is anything, just tell me.¡± After sending the message, Terrence had never received any reply from Kieran. Terrence coldly curled the corners of his mouth as if he were a predator who got his target. At that moment, Kieran was standing in the corridor of the hospital. He had just finished an operation and saw the heavy rain outside, so he called Alexa. Unexpectedly, it was Terrence who noticed the call. Kieran, who had always acted gently, suddenly punched the wall, but the pain still did not make him feel much better. He seemed to have fallen into an endless abyss, powerless to escape. ¡°Dr. Powell, what happened to your hand?¡± The nurse who passed by eximed. When she looked at Kieran, she was even more shocked. Kieran had never had such an expression. And he acted as if he wanted to kill someone at that moment. ¡°Dr. Powell¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine. Sorry for scaring you,¡± Kieran smiled gently. ¡°OK. You should take care of your hand. Hurry up and bandage it,¡± the nurse said, blushing slightly. ¡°Thank you.¡± Kieran nodded and turned to his office. In the huge hospital, there was barely anyone. However, when Kieran pushed open the door to the office, he saw a young woman sitting inside. Kieran was stunned but still acted politely. ¡°Dr. Bisley.¡± Lh Bisley, Kieran¡¯s colleague, turned around with a frown. When she saw the blood on Kieran¡¯s hand, she instantly became worried. ¡°Dr. Powell, what happened to your hand? Let me bandage it for you.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. I can do it myself.¡± ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . Even so, Lh still took out the medicine box without any exnation and skillfully helped Kieran treat his wound. ¡°It¡¯s sote. Why are you here? Any emergency?¡± Kieran asked reservedly. Lh mocked, ¡°Nothing. I know you have not gotten off work yet, so I came to see you. ¡°How¡¯s work in the psychiatry department? You must be very busy recently.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. As usual.¡± The two of them had some random chat for a while, and Lh nced at Kieran, trying to change the topic. ¡°By the way, Dr. Powell, how are you now?¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± Kieran smiled casually. ¡°Your manic depression.¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine. After all, it¡¯s been so many years,¡± Kieran said confidently. ¡°Actually, I know that you still miss Olivia Fender.¡± When Kieran heard the name, he felt theplicated emotions hidden deep in his heart instantly sweep over him and take hold forcefully. ¡°After all, how can you forget someone who loves you so deeply?¡± As soon as Lh finished speaking, Kieran withdrew his hand with a cold face and tied the bandage himself. ¡°I still have something to do. Excuse me. Goodbye.¡± After saying that, Kieran left the office without looking back. Lh watched him leave, and a strange expression appeared on her face. The rain gradually stopped, and the sun finally chased the night away and appeared. Alexa woke up in a daze. She had a good sleepst night for the first time. ¡°Why did you wake up so early?¡± Hearing the familiar voice, Alexa immediately looked in the direction of the voice vigntly. She saw Terrence standing near the bedside in dark gray sportswear. He lookedpletely different compared to his usual noble and cold demeanor in a suit. ¡°Terrence? Why are you in my room?¡± ¡°I am just back from running. Ie to see you,¡± Terrence answered with certainty. Alexa said nothing. ¡°What do you mean by that giving me that disdainful look?¡± asked Terrence. ¡°Nothing. Get out. I¡¯m going to change my clothes,¡± Alexa said as she pulled the nket over herself. ¡°Do as you please!¡± Terrence replied gently and then personally found a few clothes for Alexa from the wardrobe. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Alexa was puzzled. ¡°I brought these clothes for you. Are you not satisfied?¡± ¡°What happened to my clothes?¡± Alexa asked. ¡°I threw them away.¡± Hearing Terrence¡¯s light exnation, Alexa was silent and nced at him with a darkened face. ¡°How much are all these? I¡¯ll give you a check.¡± It¡¯s priceless. Have you heard about priceless love? You can only choose to repay with other priceless items, such as your love.¡± ¡°You¡¯re sick,¡± Alexa said. Hearing Alexa scold him, Terrence nodded with great satisfaction and left the room quickly. It was not until breakfast that Alexa understood Terrence¡¯s evil intention. Their clothes matched and made them look like a couple. ¡°You are also going to Das for a business trip today, right?¡± ¡°I advise you to give up your fantasy as soon as possible. I won¡¯t be going with you.¡± Chapter 268 Chapter 268 Chapter 268 His Punishment ¡°I was just asking you a question. Who said I was going toe with you?¡± Alexa¡¯s face turned pale. It was extremely awkward. Terrence made her feel that it was just her wishful thinking. ¡°Well, that¡¯s the best.¡± Alexa said grumpily, and then Terrence answered a phone call in front of her. ¡°Hi, Sadie. ¡°Yes, I am eating breakfast. ¡°I will pick you up soon.¡± After chatting for a short while, Terrence hung up the phone as if nothing had happened. And Alexa sneered without any reason. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, you are really having the best time in your life. Even girls like Sadie want to be with you.¡± ¡°Why? Are you jealous?¡± Terrence asked with a smile. ¡°You misunderstood. I never get jealous,¡± Alexa replied immediately. After that, Alexa quickly finished breakfast, picked up her handbag, and prepared to go out. ¡°What are you panicking for? I am not going to eat you.¡±This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Terrence spoke slowly, but Alexa was not in a good mood. ¡°My driver has already arrived.¡± ¡°What does that have to do with you?¡± Alexa was speechless. She frowned as she couldn¡¯t figure out why Terrence kept asking nonsense questions. At that time, Terrence had also finished his breakfast and packed everything as he walked toward her. ¡°Let¡¯s go. My private ne is on standby.¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that your cute girlfriend will be jealous when you are with me?¡± A cold light silently appeared in Terrence¡¯s eyes, and Alexa could not help but avoid his gaze. However, Terrence did not let her go but slowly approached her instead. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Alexa helplessly took a few steps back, but it just happened to give Terrence a chance, and he pushed Alexa firmly against the wall. ¡°You care so much about my girlfriend. And yet you dare to say that you are not jealous.¡± ¡°Well, I don¡¯t,¡± Alexa answered without fear. Terrence smiled softly and said in a gentle voice. ¡°Do you know how many women want to marry me? You really don¡¯t know what¡¯s good for you.¡± ¡°Who gave you all that confidence?¡± Alexa pushed Terrence away and walked toward the door. Terrence quickly caught up and took her hand in his warm and firm sp. Alexa tried to pull out her hand, but it was useless. ¡°Why is your hand so cold? Did you properly cover yourself with a quiltst night?¡± ¡°I did.¡± ¡°It is getting colder and colder. Don¡¯t catch a cold.¡± ¡°I know.¡± Facing such an indifferent answer from Alexa, however, Terrence felt warm in his heart. No matter what, it was good that Alexa didn¡¯t just ignore him. After the two boarded the ne, Terrence immediately had the flight attendant bring over some vegetable soup. ¡°Enjoy!¡± Terrence said directly as he went through some documents. ¡°I don¡¯t want it. Leave it to your girlfriend.¡± Alexa inly refused. When the words were said, Terrence suddenly held Alexa¡¯s jaw forcefully, and a tender kiss fell on her lips. ¡°If you dare to say something I don¡¯t like to hear, I will have other punishments for you. Just finish it.¡± Terrence chuckled lightly. Alexa had no choice but to silently eat the vegetable soup. Recently, she had been busy withpany matters and did not see Damarion for a while. Alexa thought Damarion must have missed her very much. Alexa had a worried expression as she stared at her phone, lost in thought. Her eyes were filled with sadness. ¡°What are you thinking about? Other men?¡± Terrence asked without raising his head. Alexa instantly came back to her senses and said in a bad mood. ¡°It¡¯s none of your business.¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes darkened slightly, but he quietly hid some of his emotions. ¡°Fine.¡± After an hour of flight, the ne slowlynded at Das airport. Alexa had already asked Aubrey to book a hotel. As soon as she got off the ne, she quickened her pace, wishing to get rid of Terrence immediately. Unexpectedly, Terrence still followed closely behind her. ¡°What are you following me for?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not following you. I¡¯m just going to the hotel.¡± Alexa looked at Terrence a few times and had to give up. Until Terrence was about to enter the room next to hers, Alexa could no longer bear it. ¡°You live here too?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you the same? We are truly meant for each other.¡± Terrence curled his lips in satisfaction. Alexa had no words. Without hesitation, she immediately contacted the lobby manager to change rooms. At that time, Edwin rushed over. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, ording to your instructions, all the other rooms in the hotel have been booked.¡± ¡°Good job.¡± Terrence nodded calmly and turned to look at Alexa with a sincere expression. ¡°Sorry.¡± Alexa forced out a fake smile and quickly opened the door to enter the room. Meanwhile, Aubrey called. ¡°Ms. Duran, Terrence lives next door to you. Do you need to change your room?¡± Aubrey asked cleverly. Alexa thought for a moment and calmly replied. ¡°There is no need to do so. I don¡¯t want to attract attention.¡± ¡°Ms. Duran, Mr. Riley has started to take action.¡± ¡°Okay. ording to the n, I will meet him at Caesar Club at seven o¡¯clock tonight.¡± Alexa was very calm. After finishing the call, Alexa began to work on thepany¡¯s affairs in the room. Fortunately, Terrence did not visit, and Alexa did not have to deal with him. In the afternoon, Alexa began to seriously prepare for tonight¡¯s meeting. In order to put on a disguise, she deliberately changed into a sexy velvet red dress, and then she chose charming and moving smoky makeup with expensive sets of jewelry. She looked like a foxy princess. That night, Caesar Club was very lively. Alexa gracefully walked in her high-heels and noticed her target as soon as she entered. Conley was wearing a brown custom suit. He let his cor slightly open as he held a ss of well-made whiskey in his hand. Total yboy of the year. Alexa walked straight to him under the gaze of many. Conley looked at her sideways, and he eximed with amazement while noticing her. ¡°So beautiful.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Conley held Alexa by her neck. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going to treat me to a drink?¡± ¡°What kind of wine do you like, Miss?¡± Conley pushed away the strong liquor in front of him and asked the bartender to serve a cup of Martin, whose alcohol content was not high. ¡°They have arrived. Let¡¯s go in.¡± Conley stood up and naturally wrapped his arms around Alexa¡¯s thin shoulder. ¡°There are many people here. You must stay by my side.¡± However, just as Conley finished warning, the two of them met an uninvited guest. A group of young masters dressed in luxurious clothes crowded around, and undoubtedly, it must be Terrence in the center. However, Terrence was standing next to Sadie. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, what a coincidence!¡± Conley greeted Terrence with a smile. Terrence ignored Conley, and his cold gaze fixed on Conley¡¯s hand as Conley was holding Alexa. Alexa still had something to do and did not want to pay attention to Terrence at all. However, Sadie acted gracefully. ¡°Since we are all here, why not y a game?¡± ¡°y what?¡± Alexa said clearly, and a smile appeared on her bright face. Chapter 269 Chapter 269 Chapter 269 Kiss the Person on Your Left Hearing this, Conley suddenly had a bad feeling. Alexa gracefully turned around and asked with a smile. ¡°Sure, what do you want to y?¡± Aron, who stood aside, had his eyelids suddenly twitching. He wondered, what is this about? So Terrence always keeps a low profile. Turns out that he is actually a secret yboy. Conley forced a smile. It was obvious that he didn¡¯t want Alexa toe into contact with these people. However, Alexa gave him a look unhurriedly with a yful smile in her eyes. Seeing the mischievous look on her face, Conley suddenly became interested. In front of everyone, Conley gradually moved his hand down to Alexa¡¯s waist. The atmosphere was instantly getting tense. Aron carefully nced at someone who was about to outburst. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and said. ¡°Then let¡¯s get in and y games together.¡± ¡°Great!¡± Sadie nodded and went forward, trying to hold Alexa¡¯s arm. However, Alexa did not even look at her and avoided her. Terrence, who had been silent all this time, suddenly walked up and pulled Sadie over without saying anything. The disdain in Alexa¡¯s eyes became even thicker when she saw this. All of them entered the room and sat down, but the atmosphere was not electric at all. Conley and Alexa shared a sofa. He leaned against the sofa in a reserved manner, letting Alexa lean against him in his arms. The way they treated each other was just like a princess and a knight. Sadie sat at the side and cast a nce at Terrence tentatively. She was a little regretful. She should not have yed cool just now. Aron suggested, ¡°Shall we y Truth or Dare? As usual, no cheating and no tricks.¡± Everyone echoed in session, but Terrence still did not speak. Instead, he just sipped and tasted the whiskey in his hand. Alexa did not look at him, but she could clearly feel that Terrence was firmly fixing his gaze on her. It just so happened that Conley was tapping on her waist with his finger from time to time, which showed a sign of provocation. All the others had already started the game. Conley raised his head slightly from her neck and fearlessly met Terrence¡¯s gaze. The turntable began to rotate. Just as Alexa was distracted, the pointer stopped and pointed right toward her. ¡°Ms. Duran, truth or dare?¡± Aron asked in a meaningful tone. ¡°Truth,¡± Alexa said without thinking. Hearing this, Sadie immediately drew a card. ¡°What part of your boyfriend do you like the most?¡± Hearing this, everyone suddenly fell into silence for some reason. Terrence still kept a straight face and sat quietly, as if he had not heard anything. ¡°His hands,¡± Alexa said naturally. Sadie smiled and asked. ¡°Why?¡± ¡°Sorry, this is the second question.¡± ¡°Oh, fine.¡± Sadie had no choice but to give up. Terrence, who was at the side, secretlynded his gaze on his hands. Hands? The game continued, and this time, the pointer pointed at Sadie. ¡°Ah¡­¡± Sadie eximed and said awkwardly with a smile. ¡°Well¡­ I will choose Dare.¡± Aron drew a card with interest. However, when he saw the content on the card, he immediately said. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . ¡°No, wrong card. We should change to another one.¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that no cheating and no tricks?¡± Sadie teased and took the card away with a smile. However, the next moment, she blushed. ¡°Kiss¡­ Kiss the person on your left.¡± Alexa raised her eyebrows and watched Sadie, as if she was watching a show. Sadie gave a shy look at Terrence, who was on her left, but then she looked quite embarrassed. ¡°Mr. Ramsey¡­¡± The smile in Alexa¡¯s eyes grew wider, as if she was looking forward to seeing what would happen next. But soon, she was disappointed. Terrence did not look at Sadie at all. Instead, he picked up the ss in front of him. ¡°She is not going to carry out this task. I will finish this ss of wine for her.¡± Hearing this, everyone present exchanged a look with each other at the same time. They seemed to sense the chemistry between the two. It was rare for Terrence, who never got close to any women, to take the initiative to drink up a ss of wine for ady today. However, there was a thick disappointment in Sadie¡¯s eyes when she heard this. On the other side, Alexa stood up. Boring. She withdrew her gaze with an indifferent look on her face. Conley obediently followed behind her with a yful smile on his handsome face. ¡°Ms. Duran, are you leaving now?¡± Aron asked curiously. ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa said lightly, ¡°We have something else to deal with. Excuse us.¡± As soon as they left, Terrence got up and followed them out. ¡°Send her back to the hotel.¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey¡­¡± ¡°Ms. Figueroa, this way, please,¡± Aron said politely. At this time, Alexa and Conley were walking toward the private room they booked in advance. ¡°What happened? Why did you have trouble with him? What did he do to make you angry, Ms. Duran?¡± Conley was interested. ¡°Nothing. It was just a game,¡± Alexa said indifferently. ¡°It is not your style.¡± As soon as Conley finished speaking, a tall figure rushed up and grabbed Alexa¡¯s ¡°Ah!¡± Alexa subconsciously let out a scream. A fierce look came into Conley¡¯s eyes as he instinctively grabbed the attacker¡¯s wrist. Terrence looked sullen as he coldly cast a nce at Conley. ¡°Terrence?¡± Conley narrowed his eyes slightly. ¡°Let her go.¡± ¡°Alexa,e with me,¡± Terrence ordered coldly. ¡°How dare you, Terrence!¡± Conley raised his voice in an instant like a wolf about to attack. ¡°Do you think I¡¯m Kieran? You have to kill me first if you want to take her away today,¡± Conley sneered sarcastically. The vibe between the two seemed more and more dangerous as if they would start a fight at any time. Standing between them, Alexa was getting a little anxious. ¡°Calm down, both of you. Can you have a talk?¡± she said helplessly. The passer-by not far away started to gather around and size them up. ¡°Have a talk?¡± Terrence repeated her words with a fierce look on his face, feeling the anger in his heart rise again. ¡°What do you want me to talk about when you cuddled with him in public?¡± Terrence¡¯s face darkened more. ¡°Do you want me to talk about how to give him a lesson?¡± Conley retorted, ¡°You are not good enough to fight me yet. But for the sake of my Alexa, I will y with you.¡± ¡°Your Alexa?¡± Anger flickered in Terrence¡¯s eyes. It seemed that he was already on the verge of rage. Alexa felt a sharp pain in her wrist and she looked down. There were blue veins standing out on Terrence¡¯s hand that was holding her wrist. It looked extremely terrifying. ¡°Terrence, let go,¡± Alexa said with a frown. ¡°So you can escape from me?¡± ¡°She never belonged to you!¡± ¡°Alexa, I¡¯ll give you onest chance. Will youe with me?¡± Chapter 270 Chapter 270 Chapter 270 You Are Not Qualified to Thank Me Alexa subconsciously shifted her gaze away without answering his question. Just as the three of them were in a deadlock, the sound of ss shattering suddenly came from the corner not far away. ¡°Crap!¡± As Conley¡¯s expression changed, he immediately flung Terrence away and ran over in that direction. Soon after, chaotic footsteps began to ring out. It was obvious that the group of people was chasing something. ¡°Terrence, let me go!¡± Alexa frowned anxiously and wanted to rush to Conley immediately. However, Terrence tightened his grip and stopped her without any exnation. ¡°Terrence, what are you doing? I told you to let go!¡± She didn¡¯t know how Conley was doing, but it was not a good thing since a bigmotion was caused. Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. After a while, Terrence suddenly brought her to a dark room. ¡°Stay here and don¡¯t run around!¡± Seeing this, Alexa finally realized something. ¡°Terrence, do you know something?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t ask what you shouldn¡¯t ask. Anyway, I won¡¯t tell you.¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to find Conley!¡± ¡°Can you listen to me?¡± Terrence growled in anger. ¡°Just protect yourself.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the noise outside the door suddenly grew bigger as if more people were running over. ¡°Terrence, are you also looking for Derick?¡± He did not respond. At that moment, the door was kicked hard. Alexa¡¯s heart pounded fast and then she was held by Terrence in his arms. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid.¡± Terrence¡¯s calm voice sounded above her head. Alexa felt his heartbeat, and the panic just now faded away. However, the noise outside the door was getting louder and louder, and the people outside seemed to break in very soon. In the dark room, Terrence¡¯s eyes were so cold. He stared at the door tightly with killing intent. It seemed that some people were risking their necks. After a few more minutes, the footsteps outside the door gradually subsided. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, it has been dealt with.¡± As Edwin¡¯s calm voice sounded, Alexa came back to her senses as if he had been through a lifetime and she couldn¡¯t believe that what had just happened was real. ¡°How long do you want to hold me?¡± Hearing Terrence¡¯s teasing voice, Alexa immediately released her hands with a red face. Terrence casually adjusted his tie, and his deep eyes returned to usual indifference. As the door opened, the warm lights in the corridor came in. Edwin and a dozen well-trained bodyguards guarded the door. After seeing Terrence, they all bowed respectfully. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, those people just now have been identified. They were sent by Jovan.¡± ¡°Sure enough, it¡¯s him.¡± Alexa whispered, and Terrence grabbed her hand then. ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯ll send you back.¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to find Conley!¡± Alexa immediately recovered from the shock. Terrence did not stop her and went with her. Alexa easily found their original meeting ce. In the luxurious room, a tall figure was leaning against the window and checking the situation. ¡°Conley!¡± Hearing Alexa¡¯s voice, Conley immediately turned back. ¡°Are you okay?¡± Alexa asked. ¡°I¡¯m fine. What about you? Are you hurt?¡± ¡°No.¡± But Conley was still worried. He immediately stopped his work and held Alexa¡¯s hand to look her up and down. ¡°What are you looking at?¡± ¡°Traces here.¡± Conley narrowed his eyes and calmly analyzed. ¡°There is blood. Judging from it, he must have been stabbed by a sharp object and jumped out from here.¡± ¡°But this is the third floor!¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Conley frowned slightly. ¡°I asked someone to go downstairs to take a look. I didn¡¯t find anyone.¡± ¡°That¡¯s strange.¡± Alexa pondered for a moment. Terrence came over and held her, instantly pulling her attention back. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, thank you for protecting Alexa for me.¡± ¡°You are not qualified to thank me,¡± Terrence replied coldly. ¡°Protecting her is my responsibility as a husband. It has nothing to do with you.¡± ¡°The police are about to arrive here.¡± Conley turned his gaze back to Alexa. ¡°Alexa, I¡¯ll stay and cooperate with them to investigate. Let someone send you back first, okay?¡± ¡°This matter is also rted to me. I¡¯ll stay with you.¡± Hearing this, Terrence frowned with some dissatisfaction. ¡°Since you want to wait, then I will wait with you.¡± Alexa nced at Terrence out of the blue, and the situation became a little awkward again. What was more, Derick¡¯s whereabouts were currently unknown. So Alexa couldn¡¯t feel relieved. The police quickly arrived at the scene. After surveying the scene, they took a statement. After all the procedures werepleted, it was already three o¡¯clock in the morning. Alexa spent the whole day without sleep or rest. Now she was so tired that she could not open her eyes. Terrence saw her exhaustion and took her to his car without any exnation. Seeing this, Conley immediately followed. Conley smiled and said, ¡°Alexa, go to my car. If your parents call meter, I don¡¯t know how to exin to them.¡± Hearing this, Alexa immediately sobered up and nned to get out of the car. With a thud, Terrence calmly locked the car door. ¡°I won¡¯t be at ease if she isn¡¯t by my side,¡± Terrence said coldly. ¡°If you mind, you can get in my car.¡± Conley was silent for a moment, opened the door of the back seat, and got in the car. Terrence sneered indifferently and drove the car to the hotel with a cold face. Alexa was uneasy all the way. When Conley received a call, Conley felt as if her heart was about to jump out. ¡°Hello, Scott and Christina.¡± A polite greeting came from the back seat. In the dim car, Conley¡¯s expression couldn¡¯t be seen clearly. ¡°Alexa is with me now. Everything is fine.¡± After the simple call ended, Conley sighed in relief. ¡°It¡¯s okay. Nothing happened.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa¡¯s voice was muffled as she was so exhausted. Terrence saw the changes in her emotions and had doubts in his heart. It seemed that there seemed to be a big gap between Alexa and her biological parents. Terrence did not ask more and steadily drove the car into the underground garage of the hotel. Alexa followed him and her high heels made a crisp sound on the ground. When the three of them walked to the door of the room together, unexpectedly, Sadie was waiting alone in front of Terrence¡¯s door with red eyes. It seemed that she had cried before. ¡°Mr. Ramsey¡­¡± She said in a wronged voice, looking like she was about to cry again. Conley looked at this scene coldly and said in a strange tone. ¡°It seems that Mr. Ramsey has something to do. Alexa, quickly go back and rest.¡± Alexa nodded and directly took out the room card to swipe open the door. When Terrence saw Conley enter the room with her, his eyes turned icy. Chapter 271 Chapter 271 Chapter 271 Looks Like It Is My Fault Sadie did not even have time to speak before Terrence let go of her and walked over to Alexa¡¯s room. ¡°Mr. Ramsey¡­¡± Sadie called his name weakly and followed Terrence behind. She had long noticed the man beside Alexa. It seemed that they were particrly close to each other. Sadie smiled proudly in her heart and looked at the firm set of side- face of Terrence with a naive expression. At this moment, Conley was sitting on the sofa and pouring himself a ss of champagne. The sound of water came from the bathroom. Terrence clenched his fists so hard that the blue veins on his hands stood out. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Hearing Terrence¡¯s question, Conley calmly shook the wine ss in his hand. ¡°It should be me who asked you about this question, right?¡± ¡°Mr. Riley, we were worried about Alexa, so we came to take a look.¡± ¡°Worried? No need to worry. With me here, nothing will happen to Ms. Duran,¡± Conley said confidently. ¡°Conley.¡± Terrence said word by word. He was unable to stand it any longer. ¡°Get out!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll leave when Alexa finishes bathing. Thanks for your concern, Mr. Ramsey.¡± Conley ignored Terrence¡¯s gloomy face and even raised his ss at Terrence provocatively. ¡°The wine is good. Mr. Ramsey, would you like to give it a try?¡± Terrence stood in front of Conley without a word and couldn¡¯t conceal the killing intent on his face. ¡°Alright then. I¡¯ll wait for Alexa to join me,¡± Conley said casually with a smile. In an instant, the temperature in the room was getting tenser. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, let¡¯s go back.¡± Sadie said pitifully, ¡°I¡¯m really scared after what we encountered.¡± However, no matter how hard she tried to persuade him, Terrence remained still, not having the slightest intention of leaving. More than ten minutes passed. Conley finally finished the wine in his hand, and the sound of water in the bathroom came to stop. Not long after, Alexa in a ck silk bathrobe walked out of the bathroom, barefooted. Her wet waist-length long hair hung down on her back. Her delicate and beautiful face was like a lily that had just been watered. She was so stunning. The mole at the corner of her eye made her look more charming. Even Conley, who had seen many beauties before, was stunned when he saw Alexa like this. Alexa nced at them coldly. Suddenly, Terrence strode forward and took her back to the bathroom without a word. Conley immediately chased after them, but Terrence kicked the door close and locked the door with a click. Conley was not surprised. The next second, he turned to look at Sadie with a yful and fierce smile. ¡°Mr. Riley¡­¡± ¡°Are you still not going to leave, Ms. Figueroa?¡± Conley said with a cold smile. ¡°He is not someone you can touch. You¡¯d better leave him as soon as possible.¡± Hearing this, Sadie became angry and serious. ¡°Mr. Riley, do you think I am that kind of woman who is cheap?¡± Conley ignored her wiles and said lightly. ¡°Their kid is almost two years old.¡± Sadie suddenly froze. Her eyes quickly turned red, as if his words came as a terrible blow to her. ¡°But didn¡¯t you just¡­¡± Although Conley was still smiling, the smile in his eyes had disappeared. Was he willing to let go? It seemed that the answer was no. Conley did not say anything else. He kept a straight face and took Sadie out of the room. At this moment, the atmosphere in the bathroom was quite oppressive Alexa was cornered by Terrence, who was tall and strong, and could not move at all. The bathrobe that she had just put on was wet from the steam in the bathroom. ¡°Terrence, let go of me.¡± However, facing her resistance, Terrence said fiercely. ¡°Is that only what you can say, Alexa?¡± ¡°Go away!¡± Alexa struggled so hard that her face got red. Her fair skin also became rosy because of the heat, which made her look like a delicious ripe peach. ¡°What is it you are wearing?¡± Terrence bent his head and kissed her neck. ¡°Who did you wear it for?¡± But Terrence didn¡¯t hear her answer for quite a while. He narrowed his eyes and took a bite of her earlobe as a punishment. ¡°Humph?¡± Alexa felt her legs go weak as she fell into his arms, gasping for breath. ¡°I¡­ I did not¡­¡± ¡°You did not what?¡± Terrence lured her with ease. His warm palm stroked from her back down to her slender waist before he grabbed her waist. ¡°Terrence, you can¡¯t¡­¡± Before Alexa could finish her words, Terrence suddenly pinched her harder, shocking Alexa a little bit. ¡°When will you stay away from other men?¡± Terrence whispered with dissatisfaction. Alexa felt that she was about to fall to the ground because her legs were so weak that she couldn¡¯t stand still. Instinctively, she wanted to open her mouth to beg for mercy, but Terrence took off his tie and tied her hands with it. ¡°Don¡¯t escape. Don¡¯t avoid me.¡± Alexa couldn¡¯t remember what happened that night, but when she woke up again, she felt so sore all over that she was almost unable to get up. She managed to fumble and reached for her phone on the bedside table. It was only five minutes past five. Alexa was stunned. Suddenly, a strong arm pulled her into a warm embrace. She clearly felt her back against Terrence¡¯s muscr chest. ¡°It¡¯s still early. Why are you awake?¡± Terrence¡¯s low voice was a little hoarse, but it sounded quite sexy. ¡°I slept enough.¡± Alexa spoke softly, like a cute bunny. Terrence, who was behind her, seemed to vaguely respond to her and began to stroke around her waist with his calloused fingers again. ¡°It seems that it is my fault to fail you, Mrs. Ramsey.¡± Alexa was still thinking about what he meant when Terrence suddenly leaned forward and pressed her down. ¡°Then let¡¯s do it again.¡± ¡°Wait¡­¡± This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org. Two hourster, Alexa got up from Terrence¡¯s arms with her hand on her waist. She slowly walked to the bathroom. Today was the market research day of Vision Group. As the CEO, she had to attend it. Alexa skillfully put on chic and light makeup and chose a ssic ck trench coat for her outfit today. Her cool and elegant charisma was vividly set off. With this look, she looked exactly like ady from a rich family. She sat in front of the dressing table and put on her earrings. Terrence also put on a suit in front of the dressing mirror. Alexa looked aside and saw the tie that was left on the groundst night. She blushed instantly. Terrence had already picked up another tie. ¡°Come over.¡± Hearing his gentle and low voice, Alexa walked over and took the tie that Terrence handed to her. ¡°Help me wear it.¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you do it yourself?¡± ¡°No,¡± Terrence said naturally. Alexa had no choice but topromise. Soon, she skillfully helped him wear his tie. Looking at the two people in the mirror, Terrence smiled and held her waist, easily pulling Alexa into his arm Chapter 272 Chapter 272 Chapter 272 We Are Very Familiar With Each Other ¡°You are so skillful. Do you often practice it?¡± Terrence stared at Alexa with a faint smile. But Alexa pursed her lips and pushed him away. ¡°What does it have to do with you?¡± ¡°You tell me. What does it have to do with me?¡± Terrence did not let go and pulled her back into his arms. Alexa felt a slight chill on her neck and subconsciously shrank back. His fingertips slowly wandered around her neck. When he saw the hickey on her skin, Terrence chuckled. ¡°Are you going to go out like this?¡± Realizing what Terrence was talking about, Alexa was embarrassed. The blush on her face, which had finally subsided, came back again. Terrence let go of her and chose a silk scarf for her to cover the hickey on her neck. ¡°It¡¯s better now.¡± Terrence curled up his lips into a grin in satisfaction. ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to be so polite to me, Mrs. Ramsey.¡± ¡°Who is Mrs. Ramsey?¡± Alexa reminded him seriously. She tidied up her cor to ensure that the hickey would not be discovered. Then, she left the room first. Vision Group staff were already waiting downstairs. When Alexa appeared, all the media turned their cameras on her at the same time. ¡°Ms. Duran, what is your schedule next?¡± ¡°It is said that you came to Das to meet Mr. Ramsey. Can you tell us something about it, Ms. Duran?¡± Hearing their ridiculous questions, Alexa narrowed her eyes slightly. She was obviously a little unhappy. Just as Aubrey was about to ask the bodyguards to clear the crowd, Alexa suddenly faced the media camera. ¡°I came to Das for business. As for other questions, noment.¡± ¡°Ms. Duran, have you met Mr. Ramsey?¡± The reporters didn¡¯t give up. Alexa directly ignored them and got into the car. There was a fraught and ufortable silence in the car Aubrey immediately said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Ms. Duran. It was my fault. I¡¯ll disperse them immediately.¡± They didn¡¯te before but appeared now and tried to block her at the entrance of the hotel. This was not only annoying but also very stupid. ¡°I want to know who sent them here.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± After answering, Aubrey cautiously nced at the rear-view mirror. ¡°Ms. Duran, Hudson Group¡¯s car has been following us.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Alexa fixed her eyes on the screen of herptop all the time. She seemed not interested in Terrence at all. However, Aubrey had been paying attention to the car that kept following them. She said calmly, ¡°Ms. Duran, how about we take another path?¡± Hearing this, Alexa stopped what she was doing and looked at Aubrey calmly. When Aubrey met her gaze, she shrank with a guilty look on her face. ¡°You seem to be very concerned about Terrence¡¯s movements.¡± ¡°No, I just don¡¯t want him to disturb you, Ms. Duran.¡± ¡°You should know what happenedst night, right? What did he say?¡± Alexa smiled. ¡°He knows that Terrence is in your room.¡± ¡°I mean what happened at the clubst night.¡± Alexa¡¯s voice stopped abruptly, and the car fell into a few seconds of silence again. Aubrey was a little stiff. Soon, she heard Alexa continue. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to report it to them so clearly.¡± ¡°Ms. Duran, he just hopes that you will choose Mr. Powell¡­¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to exin. You did the right thing.¡± Alexa finished the conversation with a smile and continued to scan through the documents on the laptop. When Alexa arrived at the mall, she saw Conley standing at the door. ¡°Good morning, Ms. Duran.¡± Conley walked towards her with a bright smile and led her into the mall. ¡°I heard that you are nning to cooperate with the luxury brand ¡®Knighthelm¡¯ recently. Their chief designer came to Das today. I will take you to meet himter.¡± Conley said it casually, but Alexa had already known what was going on. ¡°Thank you, Mr. Riley.¡± Alexa smiled and teased, ¡°For making theme here from abroad. I¡¯m really ttered.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you today?¡± Conley frowned slightly and touched her forehead curiously. ¡°You don¡¯t have a fever.¡± The two of them were just teasing each other, but Terrence saw this scene when he entered. Why is Conley still here? This brat! Terrence gritted his teeth silently, there was a storm brewing in his eyes. All the executives had no idea what had happened. They were confused when they saw Terrence walking toward Alexa. ¡°What a coincidence.¡± Hearing Terrence¡¯s voice, Alexa turned around and looked at him calmly. Coincidence¡­ What coincidence? Although Conley had already reluctantly withdrawn his hand, Terrence still coldly fixed his gaze on Conley¡¯s hand. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to meet you here.¡± ¡°Me, too,¡± Conley casually interrupted. Terrence looked at Alexa and said meaningfully and viciously. ¡°It¡¯s so inappropriate for you to cuddle in public like this.¡± ¡°It¡¯s appropriate. Perfectly appropriate.¡± Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. Hearing Conley¡¯s words, Terrence slightly raised his eyebrows. A fierce look came into his eyes. ¡°You probably don¡¯t know my rtionship with Alexa, Mr. Ramsey.¡± ¡°Oh? Is that so?¡± In the blink of an eye, Alexa felt the atmosphere getting tense again. Conley curled up his lips and wrapped his arm around Alexa¡¯s shoulder as he confidently said. ¡°We are very familiar with each other.¡± Hearing this, Terrence did not argue with Conley. Alexa was a little surprised. When the three of them were in a deadlock, Sadie trotted over. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, your coffee.¡± After handing a cup of warm Americano to Terrence, Sadie seemed to suddenly realize that there were also two people aside. ¡°Ms. Duran, Mr. Riley, do you need coffee too?¡± ¡°No, thank you.¡± Alexa refused coldly and did not care about what look Terrence had on his face. She turned and left without a word. Seeing this, Conley immediately followed Alexa. However, when Terrence saw Alexa fleeing away, he did not panic. Instead, he was in quite a good mood. The corner of his lips curled up in a faint smile for a moment. He did not drink the coffee in his hand at all. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, don¡¯t you like American coffee?¡± ¡°No.¡± ¡°Then I¡­¡¯ Terrence indifferently looked at her and did not care about her expectations. ¡°You don¡¯t have to do these things again. I have assistants to do it for me.¡± ¡°Oh¡­ Sure.¡± Sadie seemed to have suffered a great blow and instantly looked like in a low spirit. After the inspection, Edwin stepped forward and reported to Terrence. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, the lunch banquet has been arranged. Christopher Moir, the chief designer of Knighthelm, will also be present.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have time for this. I have something else to deal with.¡± Edwin understood when he saw that Terrence was about to hurriedly leave. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Ms. Duran¡­¡± Realizing that he had said something wrong, Edwin immediately corrected himself. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey will also attend.¡± As soon as Edwin finished speaking, Terrence immediately turned around. ¡°Let¡¯s go now.¡± Chapter 273 Chapter 273 Chapter 273 Watch the Sunset With Her Looking at Terrence, who changed his attitude so fast, Edwin chuckled and followed. Alexa thought that she would just eat with her business partner this noon, but after she entered the room, she saw Terrence at a nce. And the only avable seat was beside Terrence. Alexa nced at Conley and was to leave. However, Conley grabbed a chair and ced it next to the empty seat. Then, he invited Alexa to sit down like a gentleman. Terrence paid attention to the interaction between them. He nced at Conley coldly. However, Conley did not take Terrence¡¯s displeasure to heart. Instead, he replied with a polite smile. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, what a coincidence.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not,¡± Terrence replied with a cold face. ¡°I¡¯m just waiting for my wife.¡± ¡°Your wife?¡± Conley pondered over these words, and the smile on his face became brighter. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. Who is that woman?¡± Alexa was immune to their argument. In any case, every time they met, they would not talk to each other for more than three sentences. After retorting to Conley, Terrence seemed to realize that such a response was childish. ¡°Do you want to go out for a walk after you are done?¡± Terrence took the initiative to talk to Conley. ¡°There are many famous tourist attractions in Das. You gotta like them.¡± ¡°I can go by myself. Thank you.¡± ¡°I happen to be free and can be your free tour guide.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t believe in a free lunch.¡± This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org. Terrence paused and replied with a smile. ¡°That makes sense.¡± The lunch went smoothly. Alexa guessed that it was probably because of Terrence¡¯s presence. After some talks with her, her business partners left the private room one after another. In the end, only the three were left. Terrence nced at Conley with a fake smile. ¡°Mr. Riley, why are you still here?¡± ¡°Why should I go?¡± Conley said confidently, ¡°I have to watch the sunset with Alexa.¡± Terrence¡¯s smile froze on his face after he heard this. Alexa sensed Terrence¡¯s gloominess and immediately put down her spoon. ¡°I have something to do in the afternoon. I¡¯ll be leaving. ¡°Bye, Mr. Ramsey,¡± Conley added. Terrence did not say a word, and it seemed that something in his heart suddenly shattered. ¡°Alexa, when you are finished, I will pick you up.¡± ¡°No need,¡± Alexa said politely. ¡°Just now, I saw that Ms. Figueroa seemed to be in a bad mood. Mr. Ramsey, go and take a look.¡± Terrence was speechless and didn¡¯t know how to reply. If he had known earlier, he would not have epted the coffee. However, Alexa didn¡¯t give him the chance to exin. After she finished speaking, she turned around and left. After walking out of the private room, Conley said with a serious expression. ¡°Alexa. Your father¡¯s birthday is around the corner. Will you go back?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± After Alexa answered, it took a long time before she added. ¡°But it is not just because of the birthday, but because I have to go back and receive treatment.¡± ¡°That soon?¡± Conley was quite shocked, and his eyes were full of seriousness. ¡°Alexa, your health¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine now,¡± Alexa said calmly. ¡°However, as the effect of the medicine gradually fades away, I need special treatment every year. It¡¯s simr to dialysis.¡± ¡°Has Keyon not developed a special medicine yet?¡± Alexa shook her head, her eyes full of relief. ¡°In fact, there were a lot of treatment ns, but because of my physique, there is currently no medicine that works well.¡± ¡°You will be fine.¡± Conley held her hand, and his warmth gave her faith. ¡°Nothing will happen to you. We¡¯ll go through this together.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Alexa nodded with relief, and her heart gradually filled with warmth. Her previous life had always been lonely. She didn¡¯t know when it started, but her life gradually changed. There was warmth¡­ So many people were in the world, but now, she had a mutual concern with another person. ¡°When are you going back?¡± ¡°After New Year¡¯s Eve.¡± ¡°Then¡­ when are youing back?¡± Conley smiled gently. ¡°I¡¯ll pick you up.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sure. After all, treatment is full of risks.¡± In other words, it was likely that a bad situation would happen. ¡°Don¡¯t think too much. Everything will get better and better.¡± After leaving the hotel, Alexa made time to attend a video conference. There was a lot of time left. In fact, she wanted to hang out. However, she had not been with Damarion for a long time. Alexa wanted to go back and hug the boy. However, just as she walked out of the door, a bouquet of red roses appeared in front of her eyes. Terrence propped one hand on the door frame and looked down at her with a warm smile. ¡°Looks like you¡¯re done with your work.¡± Alexa was startled by him. After a moment, she did not intend to take the flowers. ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°The flowers are for you. I hope they can bring you joy.¡± After saying that, Terrence gave a meticulous n for the day. ¡°It happens that today is a good day, so I made a good sightseeing n.¡± Perfect. How over-confident he was. ¡°Can I see it as you asking me out?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°I refuse.¡± Alexa replied simply and was about to close the door. However, instead of leaving, Terrence got into the room. ¡°Didn¡¯t you want to see the sunset?¡± Terrence changed the topic. ¡°Or, you just don¡¯t want to do it with me?¡± ¡°It seems that you are quite self-aware.¡± ¡°Impossible.¡± His certainty surprised Alexa. ¡°Alexa, it¡¯s impossible that you don¡¯t like me.¡± ¡°Terrence, what happened to you?¡± Before Terrence could reply, a person appeared at the door. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, this is the market analysis you wanted. I¡­¡± Sadie walked forward without raising her head, and her voice stopped abruptly. ¡°Sorry, I walked in the wrong direction.¡± She turned around and was about to leave but then turned back in confusion. ¡°Huh¡­¡± Seeing that Sadie was going to say something stupid again, Alexa could not bear it anymore and took the roses from Terrence¡¯s arms and stuffed them into Sadie¡¯s hand. ¡°Ms. Figueroa, Mr. Ramsey prepared this for you.¡± ¡°For me¡­¡± Sadie cried out in disbelief, but Terrence¡¯s eyes were fixed on Alexa. It was as if there was an invisible chain between them. Sensing that the atmosphere between the two became a little strange, Sadie got disappointed. It seemed that Alexa did not want the flowers. Terrence was still thinking about Alexa. ¡°I wish you a good afternoon. I¡¯ll leave you alone then. Goodbye.¡± Alexa smiled and waved at them. However, Terrence stood where he was and had no intention of leaving. ¡°Anything else, Mr. Ramsey?¡± Chapter 274 Chapter 274 Chapter 274 How Dare He Snatch You away? After Sadie left, Terrence closed the door. Alexa was flustered for no reason and subconsciously avoided eye contact with Terrence. Terrence was like an angry cat. He sat on the sofa with a sullen face. ¡°Alexa, why do you always leave me to others?¡± Hearing this, Alexa forced a smile. ¡°Do you need me to do that?¡± Alexa asked with interest. ¡°Weren¡¯t you at her ce?¡± ¡°You are the only one I care about.¡± Alexa tasted the champagne without caring. ¡°There are many people I care about,¡± She replied apologetically. ¡°But you are not among them. Terrence, we¡¯re done.¡± ¡°No,¡± Terrence talked back firmly. ¡°As long as I don¡¯t sign the agreement, we won¡¯t get a divorce.¡± ¡°Then I can have to file awsuit.¡± Alexa¡¯s indifference surprised Terrence. She was not like thisst night. As if Alexa had seen through what Terrence was thinking, she said. ¡°Don¡¯t take what happenedst night to heart. We are both adults, there is no need to brood over some things.¡± ¡°What if I insist?¡± Alexa became absent-minded, and the scent of pines got close to her. Terrence sneered in a low voice, and in the blink of an eye, he pressed Alexa against the wall. ¡°It seems that you have forgotten what happenedst night. I don¡¯t mind reminding you of it.¡± After the words were finished, the curtains were drawn and blocked the amorous scene in the room. Alexa was pressed down on the bed by Terrence and could not move. The old injuries were yet to heal, but new ones wereing. However, she clenched her teeth and didn¡¯t make a sound. Her silence and forbearance made Terrence even more presumptuous. ¡°Has Kieran touched you like this before?¡± Terrence¡¯s cool fingertips wandered around her body. ¡°How about this?¡± ¡°Terrence, you are disgusting¡­¡± ¡°How dare he snatch you away from me?¡± Alexa could not bear it any longer and bit Terrence on the shoulder.She bit him with all her might, and soon, there was a smell of blood. But even so, Alexa¡¯s pain did not ease much. The absurd and painful punishment soon ended. Terrence looked down at the bite mark on his shoulder that was still oozing blood and said nothing. When the private doctor treated his wound, the doctor lookedplicated. But Terrence¡¯s face was dark, and his coldness seemed to be able to freeze the air. It was obvious that he had just been provoked. Edwin thought that Terrence and Alexa had a romantic date tonight, but just as he walked to the door, Terrence¡¯s unhappy voice sounded. ¡°Arrange a ne and return to New York tonight.¡± ¡°Yes, Mr. Ramsey.¡± Edwin did not dare to ask more, but he was sure that Terrence and Alexa must have had a conflict again. The night soon fell and Terrence sat on the ne back to New York. He stared at the screen of his phone with a gloomy face. This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org. Alexa just twitted. It was a picture of French cuisine under the setting sun. And she wrote, ¡°Only love and delicacies can¡¯t be missed.¡± What a good sentence. Irritation rose in Terrence¡¯s heart somehow. He suddenly threw his phone on the table, and a sh of joy shed across Sadie¡¯s eyes. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, don¡¯t be angry.¡± Sadie boldly stepped forward and considerately served Terrence a ss of warm milk. Terrence looked at her actions coldly and did not intend to respond. ¡°You have been busy for so many days. Why don¡¯t you take this opportunity to have a good rest?¡± Terrence rubbed between his eyebrows and instantly collected himself. For a moment, he actually felt that Sadie was somewhat simr to Alexa. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Sadie asked. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me.¡± Terrence coldly looked away. ¡°I have something to do. I¡¯ll have Edwin send you back when we arrive in New York.¡± Seeing that Terrence wanted to avoid her, Sadie was unhappy. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, I don¡¯t want to go back, or my parents will let me go on blind dates again.¡± Terrence was not a fool. Of course, he knew why Asher sent Sadie to him. But other than Alexa, he wouldn¡¯t have feelings for another woman. ¡°Go back,¡± Terrence repeated. Although Sadie was willful, she was afraid of Terrence in her heart. She did not dare to say anything more. The atmosphere in the cabin was depressing. Terrence picked up his phone from time to time and swiped the screen. Obviously, he was waiting for someone¡¯s reply. As soon as he got off the ne, Terrence soon disappeared. At ten o¡¯clock in the evening, he arrived in front of the apartment where Alexa often stayed alone. Terrence knew that she should be having a good time with Conley now, but he still came here. Alexa did not pick up his call. Terrence put away the phone and stood in front of the door for a while. Looking out from the corridor, Terrence could see a couple hugging each other under the streetmp. Not far away was a peddler making roasted chestnuts. The sweet scent mixed with the autumn wind made the entire street warm. Terrence tidied up his windbreaker and was to leave. However, the door opened at this moment. Alexa did not expect Terrence to be here. Her tired face was full of doubts. ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°You¡¯re back?¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes dimmed. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you pick up my call?¡± Alexa came back to her senses and exined in a t tone. ¡°My phone is out of battery.¡± Terrence sighed and could not help asking. ¡°Conley is not with you?¡± ¡°Nope.¡± Alexa took out the trash and when she turned around, Terrence was still standing in front of her door. It seemed that he had no intention of leaving. Alexa pursed her lips and said softly. ¡°Do you want to¡­¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Terrence immediately agreed and walked in.He looked to be familiar with this ce as if he had returned to his home. As soon as Terrence entered the room, he began to look around as if he was looking for something. After confirming that there were no other men, he let his guard down. ¡°When did youe back?¡± ¡°Just now,¡± Alexa said calmly. ¡°Didn¡¯t you just arrive as well?¡± ¡°Indeed.¡± After saying that, the living room fell into silence. Terrence sat for a while, and there was a faint aroma of vegetable souping from the kitchen. ¡°You still want to eat now?¡± ¡°I¡¯m hungry.¡± Alexa replied and continued to cook. But after so many years, her cooking skills had not improved much. Alexa made a mistake, and the back of her hand was scalded by the steam. Hearing a cry from the kitchen, Terrence immediately got up and rushed over. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Alexa put her hand under flowing cold water, and Terrence, who was beside her, had put on the apron. ¡°Go out. I¡¯ll cook.¡± ¡°I can do it myself.¡± ¡°Does the wound on your hand not hurt?¡± Terrence¡¯s words made Alexa speechless. Before she went out,Terrence had skillfully handled the ingredients. Chapter 275 Chapter 275 Chapter 275 She Has No Choice Seeing that Alexa was still standing in ce, Terrence smiled and teased. ¡°Are you looking at me? Am I handsome?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not looking at you but my fish.¡± Alexa shifted her gaze to the chopping board in embarrassment. Terrence did not expose her. He just methodically cooked. Not long after, Terrence made three exquisite dishes and a bowl of soup. Enter title¡­ Alexa consciously sat at the dining table. When Terrence came out, he saw an extra te and a fork on the table, and his eyes instantly became gentle. However, the Twitter post that Alexa just posted upset Terrence. ¡°Didn¡¯t you eat French food with Conley?¡± ¡°I¡¯m hungry,¡± Alexa replied concisely. ¡°Oh.¡± Terrence nodded, and they fell into a brief silence. Alexa looked hungry. She focused on the food without being distracted at all. The dishes Terrence cooked were the same as before, which inadvertently reminded Alexa of the past. ¡°I heard that Vision Group is going to hold an autumn-and-winter fashion show?¡± Terrence suddenly brought up this topic, and Alexa instinctively became vignt. ¡°This is a business secret.¡± ¡°I just want to ask if you need a designer.¡± Terrence said rather sincerely, ¡°Is there any designer under Hudson Group that you like?¡± As the world¡¯s number one group, Hudson Group had many luxury brands, which could be considered pacesetters in the industry. It was like the arena where big shots gathered. Although Vision Group¡¯s main business was the development of fashion products, it had few top designers. ¡°So what if I like some designers in Hudson Group? Are you going to give them to me directly?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Terrence nodded, ¡°I¡¯ll satisfy all your requests.¡± Alexa didn¡¯t say whether it was okay or not and continued to eat. Someone knocked on the door. ¡°Don¡¯t move.¡± Terrence said and then went to the door. As soon as he opened the door, he found the man in front of him was Kieran. When enemies came face to face, their eyes zed with hatred. Terrence and Kieran looked at each other silently, and the atmosphere instantly ¡°Kieran, there you are.¡± ame tense. Alexa timely spoke, interrupting their thoughts. ¡°Yes.¡± Kieran smiled gently and entered the room. ¡°I rushed over after the operation. You¡¯ve been busy for so long. Are you feeling unwell?¡± Terrence stood beside Alexa and stared at Kieran with hostility. Terrence thought, stay away from my wife. Do you hear me? However, Terrence only dared to think so, for he was worried that Alexa would get angry. ¡°I¡¯m fine. I¡¯m having dinner. Do you want to join me?¡± Terrence wondered, Alexa invited Kieran to eat the food I cooked. What¡¯s wrong with this world? Terrence was about to refuse, but Kieran had no intention of eating at all.He stood in front of Alexa and said in a gentle voice. ¡°Give me your hand.¡± Seeing that Alexa put her hand on Kieran¡¯s, Terrence was so jealous. ¡°Kieran, what are you doing?¡± Terrence asked through gritted teeth, his entire body emitting a monstrous chill. ¡°Please calm down.¡± Kieran said without changing his expression and then professionally gave Alexa a health check. This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org. Even so, the rejection around Terrence did not lessen at all. ¡°By the way, I haven¡¯t asked yet.¡± Kieran looked at Terrence coldly and asked politely, ¡°Why is Mr. Ramsey here?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that what I should do?¡± Terrence said word by word and deliberately straightened the apron around his waist. ¡°What do you think I¡¯m here for?¡± Kieran maintained a gentle and polite attitude, but the warmth in his eyes had faded. However, Alexa did not seem to panic at all, and she did not even intend to exin anything. Kieran seemed to be about to say something when he suddenly received a call. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Alexa. I need to go to the hospital.¡± ¡°Okay, be careful on the way.¡± ¡°It¡¯s veryte. You should rest early.¡± Kieran and Alexa naturally gave each other a few words. Alexa sent Kieran to the door, and Terrence didn¡¯t bother to hide the jealousy on his face. ¡°He¡¯s gone. Why are you still looking?¡± Hearing Terrence¡¯s voice, Alexa closed the door behind her. ¡°Then you should leave as soon as you finish eating.¡± Terrence did not answer Terrence. Instead, she curved her lips into a faint smile. ¡°Mr. Powell has a good temper. I was so rude, but he wasn¡¯t angry.¡± Alexa nced at Terrence speechlessly and walked aside to clean up the dishes. Terrence¡¯s arms suddenly appeared at Alexa¡¯s waist, and Alexa fell into his arms without any precautions. ¡°Alexa, I can see that you don¡¯t like him at all.¡± Alexa¡¯s eyshes fluttered, and she was not in a hurry to exin. ¡°He doesn¡¯t seem to like you very much either. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have allowed other men to approach you.¡± Terrence was like a child who had received arge bunch of candy, happy and pure. ¡°What¡¯s the use of saying this?¡± Alexa said coldly, ¡°In any case, I will marry him sooner orter.¡± ¡°Impossible.¡± Terrence concluded firmly, ¡°How can you marry someone you don¡¯t love?¡± ¡°Terrence, this is me.¡± With that, Alexa withdrew from Terrence¡¯s embrace and hid in the room, never toe out again. Yareli had been sending Damarion¡¯s videos to Alexa. Alexa hid in the quilt and quietly watched her son on the screen. Her dry eyes could not help but be wet. In this life, it seemed Alexa could not be herself. Previously, she had to part with Terrence, and now she had to marry Kieran. Alexa didn¡¯t like them, but she couldn¡¯t let go. That night, Alexa had insomnia. Until the next morning, she only slept for two hours. With no one around her, it was always hard for her to fall asleep, and she didn¡¯t know when she started to have such a bad habit. Alexa walked to the living room in low spirits and unexpectedly smelled the aroma of food. Alexa thought she had an illusion, but when she rubbed her eyes, Terrence¡¯s figure was indeed in the living room. ¡°Didn¡¯t you leavest night?¡± ¡°No, I asked Edwin to send the daily necessities. I will stay with you for as long as you live here.¡± Alexa was lost for words. Alexa used a few seconds to digest the shocking news. ¡°But this is my home.¡± ¡°Just now, I bought this building.¡± Terrence¡¯s tone was t as he shrugged. ¡°So¡­¡± Words failed Alexa. Alexa was unable to change Terrence¡¯s mind.She said with great exhaustion, ¡°Terrence, why are you doing this?¡± ¡°Just because you are my wife and my son¡¯s mother.¡± Terrence¡¯s attitude was firm, and he did not seem to intend to leave. It just so happened that today was the weekend, and Alexa was going to pick up Damarion. ¡°I am going to pick up Damarion. You¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m ready. After you have breakfast, we¡¯ll set off.¡± Terrence was so active¡­ After breakfast, Alexa packed up and went out with Terrence. Keyon went abroad for business, so usually, only Yareli and some others took care of Damarion. Alexa felt guilty. Damarion was not even two years old, but his parents were often not around. Chapter 276 Chapter 276 Chapter 276 Regret Is All Rted to You On the way home, Terrence seemed to be more nervous than Alexa was. Alexa stole a nce at Terrence but was caught by him. Alexa immediately averted her gaze guiltily, but Terrence held her hand without any exnation. Terrence¡¯s palm, which was covered with a thinyer of callus, actually exuded some sweat. Alexa¡¯s eyshes fluttered.She asked tentatively, ¡® ¡°Are you alright?¡± ¡°I am okay.¡± Terrence looked straight ahead and tugged at his tie. ¡°I¡¯m just going to pick up Damarion. Why are you so nervous?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t understand.¡± Terrence awkwardly squeezed out these words. Alexa was confused. When they arrived at the vi, Yareli was already waiting at the door with Damarion in her arms. After seeing the two of them, Damarion shouted happily. ¡°Mom and Dad.¡± Alexa could clearly feel that the man beside her quickly rxed. Terrence quickly stepped forward and held Damarion in his arms. His eyes were full of joy. ¡°Damar, did you miss me?¡± Alexa pinched his chubby face and smiled happily. All the tiredness umted in Alexa¡¯s heart was swept away. ¡°I miss you, Mom,¡± Damarion answered tedly and suddenly kissed Terrence on the face. ¡°I miss Dad too.¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes, which were hiding his joy, shrank in surprise, and then he looked at Alexa. Alexa just smiled and didn¡¯t correct Damarion. ¡°Where do you want to go today?¡± Alexa patiently asked for Damarion¡¯s opinion. Terrence calmly gave Edwin a look, and thetter immediately stepped forward. Edwin said, ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, Mr. Ramsey has personally formted 20 sightseeing ns. Everything has been arranged properly.¡± ¡°20 ns¡­ It¡¯s just an ordinary weekend. There¡¯s no need to be so grand.¡± Alexa held her forehead. ¡°No,¡± Terrence said methodically, ¡°this is the first time our family has spent a wonderful weekend together, so it is very memorable. I will also make ns for trips every time we take.¡± In the blink of an eye, Damarion had begun to gnaw on Terrence¡¯s cor clip. The saliva flowing out of the little fellow had soaked arge part of hispel. It was not good for the child to do that. ¡°Damarion, you can¡¯t do this,¡± Alexa subconsciously blurted out. ¡°Dad¡¯s¡­¡± Terrence raised his eyebrows slightly, looking forward to her finishing this sentence. Alexa realized that she said something wrong and fell silent in an instant, but Damarion was looking at her curiously at this time. Thinking about it, Alexa still finished with a calm face. ¡°Dad¡¯s clothes will be stained by you.¡± Terrence just held Alexa¡¯s hand when she finished her words. The warm touch tightly wrapped around her slender hand and gave her an inexplicable feeling of peace. ¡°No,¡± Terrence smiled gently. ¡°Let¡¯s go. Let¡¯s go.¡± Half an hourter, their car stopped in front of a quiet courtyard. It was a small vige far away from the center of the city. There was awn, a running stream, and a forest, forming a beautiful picture. Terrence knocked on the wooden door unhurriedly, and soon a kind old granny came to open the door. ¡°Mrs. rke.¡± ¡°Hey, Terrence!¡± Mallory cried out in surprise and immediately turned to wee them in. ¡°This is my wife, Alexa. This is my son, Damarion,¡± Terrence introduced seriously. ¡°Nice to meet you.¡± Mallory bowed slightly and said, ¡°Please take a seat. Colten is making coffee. Can the child drink milk?¡± ¡°Yes, thank you.¡± Terrence nodded slightly and ced Damarion on the ground, allowing him to have fun in the courtyard. Not long after, Mallory brought over a pot of fragrant and mellow coffee. ¡°Terrence, this is the first time that you bring your wife and child here.¡± Mallory smiled happily, ¡°You look happy.¡± Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. Alexa smiled politely and nodded. It was rare for her to be so rxed. Not long after, an old man with a fishing rod came into the courtyard. ¡°Will you have lunch here? There is fresh bass today.¡± ¡°Thank you, Mr. rke.¡± After a simple chat with them, Mallory and Colten went to cook. Alexa took a sip of the coffee and found that Terrence was looking at her. ¡°You¡­ Why are you looking at me?¡± ¡°You are good-looking,¡± Terrence praised. ¡°I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s hard to find a second person as perfect as you in this world.¡± ¡°It¡¯s too exaggerated¡­¡± Alexa¡¯s ears were red, and she changed the topic. ¡°You seem to be very familiar with Mrs. rke and Mr. rke.¡± ¡°Yes. Do you want to know why?¡± Terrence deliberately asked. ¡°Yes, go ahead.¡± ¡°This is my secret. I can¡¯t tell you so easily.¡± ¡°Forget it if you don¡¯t want to tell me.¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you ask me one more time?¡± A hint of a smile shed through Terrence¡¯s eyes. He said, ¡°I found this ce a year ago when I went out to rx.This is the most unique restaurant in this vige. Only when the owner is in a good mood will it open.¡± ¡°So you just happened to run into it?¡± ¡°It just so happened that Mr. rke came back from fishing, and I was fortunate enough to have a good meal.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great.¡± Alexa sincerely sighed that such a life was really very happy. However, the light in Terrence¡¯s eyes was a little dim when he heard Alexa¡¯s words. A year ago, it was the time when he searched the world for her butpletely lost hope. Even if the doctor had personally said that Alexa had left, he had never epted this fact. The days of searching for her were always slow and difficult to bear. Even when he closed his eyes, he could see the scene in which Alexa was lying in the hospital covered in blood. Terrence¡¯s thin lips were tightly pursed, and his fingers were firmly pressed against the hot cup, but he did not feel any pain. Alexa sensed Terrence¡¯s strangeness.She asked curiously, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Terrence did not intend to reveal his true intentions, but he had other questions he wanted to ask. ¡°Alexa, how did youe over these two years?¡± Alexa suddenly became absent-minded and caught a touch of emotion called ¡°pity¡± in Terrence¡¯s eyes. ¡°I¡­¡± Before Alexa could plot her words, Damarion happily ran over and threw herself into her arms. Then she put a piece of golden ginkgo leaf into Alexa¡¯s palm. ¡°Mom, here you are.¡± Alexa smiled brightly.She asked gently, ¡°Is this a gift from Damarion?¡± ¡°Yes, a gift.¡± Damarion clearly repeated this word. ¡°Thank you, Damar.¡± Alexa was quite moved and held Damarion in her arms. Terrence watched the interaction between the mother and son, and he felt warmth and tenderness. However, the more it was like this, the more Terrence felt guilty. He was absent for two years when Alexa needed him the most. Terrence was thinking about the past when he suddenly felt his sleeve being pulled. He immediately came back to his senses. ¡°Dad, I¡¯m hungry.¡± ¡°Hungry?¡± ¡°Herees the bass.¡± Mallory spoke at the right time and brought a te of steamed bass and other dishes onto the table. ¡°Come on.¡± Chapter 277 Chapter 277 Chapter 277 Ask for a Return Gift Alexa nned to feed Damarion first, but Terrence had picked him up and was patiently removing the fish bones in the bowl. After careful processing, Terrence fed Damarion a small spoon of fish soup. ¡°Delicious.¡± Damarion praised in a childish voice, and Terrence smiled more happily. ¡°Then do you want to eat a little more?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± The interaction between the father and son was warm. Alexa looked at them silently. The sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, and Alexa felt so cozy. After a harmonious lunch, Damarion was tired of ying. Terrence¡¯s hand never loosened, and he could not bear to let go of Damarion for a moment. ¡°Give him to me,¡± Alexa said. ¡°Damarion is heavy.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not tired at all,¡± Terrence answered concisely. ¡°Fine, if you say so.¡± Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. The three walked out of the courtyard together. Just as they got into the car, Terrence received a call. It seemed to be a very urgent matter. Alexa consciously carried Damarion over and tried not to disturb him. ¡°I need to go abroad now?¡± Terrence frowned. ¡°Alright. I understand.¡± After Terrence hung up, Alexa beat him to it and said. ¡°Are you going on a business trip? I¡¯ll take Damarion back.¡± ¡°No hurry. I¡¯ll send you back first.¡± Terrence did not show the slightest hint of anxiety. Instead, he calmly pulled Alexa into his arms. Damarion was now asleep in her arms. Terrence smiled gently and kissed the back of Alexa¡¯s ear. ¡°I¡¯ll be away for a week. Will you miss me?¡± ¡°No.¡± Alexa frowned slightly. ¡°Damarion is still here. You¡­¡± Instead of letting her go, Terrence became more and more presumptuous. Terrence¡¯s warm big hand suddenly pinched Alexa¡¯s waist. Alexa was caught off guard, and her voice was soft. ¡°Terrence!¡± Alexa lowered her voice and nced at Terrence, but Terrence boldly stuck to her body. ¡°You have to admit that you will miss me, or I won¡¯t let go.¡± It was ¡­ boring. Alexa had nothing to say, but she was worried that Terrence would wake Damarion up, so she could only say out of the corner of her mouth with red ears. ¡°I will miss you, okay?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t hear it. Say it again.¡± ¡°If you didn¡¯t hear it, then forget it.¡± Terrenceughed softly. The warm breath sprinkled on the back of Alexa¡¯s neck. Alexa shrank because of the titition. It was just a very reluctant answer, but it made Terrence so happy. Alexa was unable to see through Terrence. ¡°I will miss you too,¡± Terrence said earnestly. ¡°I will miss you very much.¡± Alexa¡¯s expression was unnatural as she pursed her lips. ¡°Oh.¡± After sending them home safe and sound, Terrence rushed to the airport. Alexa entered the room with Damarion in her arms and suddenly noticed that there was a figure in the living room. Kieran, dressed in a British casual suit, was sitting on the sofa and drinking coffee. Seeing theme back, Kieran immediately smiled and walked toward them. ¡°Kieran, are you free today?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t need to work in shift in the hospital today. So, Ie to see you and Damarion.¡± Kieran took Damarion and walked upstairs to the room with ease. Alexa followed behind Kieran, and they were silent for a moment. ¡°The car that sent you back just now did not seem to belong to the Duran family.¡± ¡°No.¡± ¡°Was it Terrence?¡± ¡°Yes, it was him.¡± ¡°It seems that you had a good time.¡± Alexa opened her mouth, but she held her tongue in the end. Kieran put Damarion on the baby bed, and there was an apologetic look in his eyes. ¡°Sorry, I shouldn¡¯t ask so much.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. You are my boyfriend. You have the right to know this,¡± Alexa said with a calm face. ¡°I¡¯m just a little jealous.¡± Alexa thought about it and exined everything to Kieran in detail. ¡°We met on the way, so I let Damarion see him.¡± ¡°After all, Terrence is Damarion¡¯s biological father. I can understand,¡± Kieran said. ¡°It¡¯s the weekend. Take the time to have a good rest.¡± Alexa changed the topic, only to find that Kieran was looking at her seriously. ¡°After seeing you, I will feel much more rxed, so I want to stay with you for a while longer, okay?¡± No matter what Kieran did, he appeared to be so polite. Alexa thought it was improper to refuse him. ¡°Of course.¡± ¡°A lot of things have happened in the hospital recently. I have been looking for an opportunity to go out and rx.¡± Kieran paused and gave a bitter smile. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that I woulde at the wrong time.¡± Kieran¡¯s gentle voice seemed to have magic, as if no matter what he said, Alexa was unable to refuse. ¡°Can we go out for a cup of coffee? It won¡¯t take up too much of your time.¡± Damarion had fallen asleep. Alexa thought about it and agreed. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the Left Cafe. We went therest time.¡± Kieran personally drove while Alexa sat in the passenger seat. She noticed the gift box next to her. ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± ¡°It¡¯s for you.¡± Kieran said lightly, looking straight ahead at the road. ¡°For me? It looks so expensive. I¡­¡± Alexa said politely. ¡°Open it and take a look.¡± Kieran¡¯s resolute wordspletely dispelled Alexa¡¯s thoughts of refusing. Alexa silently opened the box. There was a pair of ruby earrings init. ¡°My friend gave me a ruby. I thought it would suit you, so I made it into earrings.¡± Alexa admired the earrings and could not help but exim. ¡°The design is unique. Even a top designer would not be able to make such a perfect piece of work.¡± Alexa¡¯s attention was all on the earrings, and she did not even notice that the gloom in Kieran¡¯s eyes faded. ¡°You influenced me.¡± ¡°Huh? What?¡± ¡°Because I often interact with you, my sense of aesthetics has improved.¡± ¡°Did you design this?¡± ¡°It¡¯s the first time I designed earrings. There are lots of things that I need to improve.¡± ¡°Heavens! You know everything.¡± Alexa sincerely praised. In her eyes, Kieran was like a deity. ¡°Thank you for your gift. I like it very much.¡± ¡°Can I ask for a gift in return?¡± Kieran had a smile on his face, and the emotions in his eyes were obvious. ¡°A gift in return¡­ Of course, you can, but you need to give me some time to prepare.¡± Alexa pondered seriously. ¡°Okay. I¡¯ll wait.¡± After they arrived at the cafe, Kieran ordered two cups of Mhiato ording to Alexa¡¯s preferences, and then asked for a few new sweets. ¡°I hope that time can stop at this moment forever,¡± Alexa eximed with satisfaction. ¡°Well.¡± Kieran nodded and looked at Alexa meaningfully. ¡°I feel the same.¡± ¡°You just said that a lot of things happened in the hospital. Do you want to tell me?¡± Even though Alexa only treated Kieran as a friend, Kieran nodded and shared the interesting things that had happened in the hospital with her in detail. Chapter 278 Chapter 278 Chapter 278 Let Me Hear Your Voice Alexa had already noticed that the atmosphere between them was very strange, but she just quietly listened to Kieran and did not say anything else. In a corner not far away, a camera was aimed at them, and many photos were taken. ¡°There is a dinner party on Staten Ind tomorrow. If you have time, could you go with me?¡± ¡°Staten Ind?¡± ¡°Do you remember the Moss family from New York?¡± ¡°The family that sells perfume?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right,¡± Kieran said unhurriedly. ¡°The Moss family will hold an art exhibition on Staten Ind tomorrow. The main point is that the eldest son of the family, Caspian Moss, will be there.¡± ¡°Caspian?¡± ¡°He was aw student. He used to be Sean Hond¡¯s assistant, butter he left the industry and went abroad to learn perfume making.¡± Alexa understood when he brought up Sean. Sean was one of Derick¡¯s defensewyers. However, they were investigating it secretly. How did Kieran know so much? As if he had read Alexa¡¯s mind, Kieran smiled. ¡°Conley has said a few words about it. I want to be helpful.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Alexa smiled with relief. ¡°You¡¯ve already helped me a lot.¡± ¡°We¡¯ve finished the coffee. Let¡¯s go.¡± Only then did Alexa realize that they had spent so much time in the coffee house. When they were out on the street, it was already dark, and the neon lights wereing on. ¡°New York at night is really beautiful.¡± Alexa heard Kieran say. And the next moment, Kieran took her hand, and the faint fir fragrance on him was just inches away. Alexa lost her head for a moment. She looked up at Kieran in surprise. Kieran¡¯s eyes, with the street lights reflected in them, were sparking like ake that was rippled by the night breeze. ¡°Dr. Powell¡­¡± Alexa blurted out, but Kieran leaned over and took her into his arms, as gently as the moon. ¡°Don¡¯t say no to me, and don¡¯t push me away,¡± he said smilingly. ¡°They are at six o¡¯clock.¡± Hearing this, Alexa immediately understood what he meant. She discreetly nced over from the corner of her eye and saw a few lurking in the shadows. It must be her parents¡¯ men again. Alexa sighed helplessly and smiled at Kieran apologetically. ¡°Once again, sorry for the trouble.¡± ¡°No big deal.¡± Kieran said politely. After those people left, he let go of Alexa unhurriedly. And very thoughtfully, he helped her straighten her cor. ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll send you home.¡± On the way back, the two did not talk anymore. Alexa had a stronger feeling that her confession that night was like a dream. He must have felt it. But why was he so cooperative? Kieran deserved a better person. But why did he waste so much time on her when he had so many other choices? Alexa had just gotten out of Kieran¡¯s car when Terrence called. Hearing the ceaseless ringtone, Kieran had mixed emotions in his eyes. ¡°Then have a good rest. I will pick you up at five o¡¯clock tomorrow afternoon.¡± It wasn¡¯t until Kieran¡¯s car completely disappeared from her sight that Alexa unhurriedly answered the phone. ¡°What?¡± ¡°What?¡± Terrence gritted his teeth and said. ¡°You didn¡¯t answer my messages or calls. You must be having a great time with him.¡± ¡±I was in the car just now and missed the messages.¡± Alexa was very calm. ¡°If you have things to say, just say it.¡± She always took care to keep her distance from him. Terrence felt bitter, but he couldn¡¯t find a good reason to re up. ¡°Do you give Kieran the same attitude?¡± Terrence suddenly asked. ¡°You must enjoy being with him, right?¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°Not long after I left, you couldn¡¯t wait to go to meet him.¡± Terrence¡¯s tone was very strange. His tone sounded sulky and even a bit usatory. ¡°Alexa, what am I to you?¡± ¡°My son¡¯s biological father,¡± Alexa said matter-of-factly. Terrence wasn¡¯t expecting this answer at all. ¡°I just had three meetings. I¡¯m exhausted,¡± he continued. ¡°Can you not talk to me like this?¡± ¡°How do you want me to talk to you?¡± ¡°Different than this.¡± Alexa¡¯s eyshes fluttered, and she looked more approachable in the moonlight. ¡°I need to sleep. Whatever it is, let¡¯s talk about it tomorrow.¡± With that, she hung up the phone without hesitation. Terrence held the phone to his ear and stood by the window in the same position for a long time. Alexa¡­ Good for you! He was so upset that he couldn¡¯t think of anything to say. And his face was livid. Terrence¡¯s chest rose and fell slightly, showing that he was very angry now. He was very possessive and was never as tolerant as Alexa thought. Kieran, right? And other men? Sooner orter, he would kick them out of Alexa¡¯s life! Alexa lost sleep the same night. She didn¡¯t know if it was because of the call with Terrence. She was not sleepy at all even when it was after midnight. Damarion was sleeping soundly in his bed. Alexa quietly got up and left the room to take a sleeping pill. Unexpectedly, Terrence texted her again. He talked about his life to her as he liked and seemed to not care whether Alexa would reply. And now, he sent her a picture of a desk. And the message was only two words: ¡°Working overtime.¡± Alexa thought for a while and sent a question mark. Unexpectedly, she got an instant reply. ¡°Why are you still up?¡± She was thinking about how to reply when Terrence gave her a call. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Belonging to N?velDrama.Org. He asked. His gentle voice somehow made Alexa¡¯s heart skip a beat. For some reason, Alexa replied truthfully. ¡°I can¡¯t sleep. I¡¯m looking for pills.¡± ¡°You want to take sleeping pills again?¡± Terrence¡¯s voice immediately became serious. ¡°No pills. Drink a ss of warm milk.¡± ¡°The pills work faster.¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t drink milk, I wille home right away and force you to drink it.¡± Alexa was speechless for a moment. And she knew that Terrence would do such a thing. ¡°Alright. I will.¡± Alexa did as he said and had a ss of warm milk. ¡°I¡¯m hanging up.¡± ¡°Not yet.¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to sleep.¡± ¡°Let me hear your voice,¡± Terrence said affectionately. ¡± I¡¯ll hang up when you fall asleep.¡± ¡°What¡¯s so good about my voice?¡± ¡°I just like it.¡± It was such a weird request, but Alexa did not turn him down. She put her phone next to her head. It was unknown whether it was psychological, but Alexa soon fell asleep after the milk. Half an hourter, Terrence finally finished his work and closed theptop. There was no sounding from the other end of the line. He guessed that Alexa must have fallen asleep. ¡°Good night, my girl.¡± Chapter 279 Chapter 279 Chapter 279 I Am Not Happy Alexa had a sound sleep. She didn¡¯t wake up until it was morning. Damariony obediently on the baby bed, not making a sound at all. ¡°Baby, are you hungry? Let¡¯s go eat breakfast.¡± Alexa hugged Damarion gently. After washing up, Alexa carried Damarion down the stairs. Unexpectedly, Conley came. ¡°Conley, you are really a rare guest.¡± Alexa joked, ¡°Why are you so free toe today?¡± ¡°I heard that you are going to Staten Ind. I¡¯m here to escort you,¡± Conley said mysteriously. After that, Conley took Damarion over. ¡°Did you miss me, Damar?¡± Alexa didn¡¯t know what to say. However, Damarion didn¡¯t hate Conley, giggling in Conley¡¯s arms. ¡°I have brought the dress and jewelry,¡± Conley said proudly,¡± and I designed all of them myself, so you can definitely amaze all the people at the banquet.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a pity that I am not going to amaze all the people. Is there something I need to investigate?¡± ¡°Caspian, right?¡± Conley¡¯s eyes shed, and his face suddenly became serious. ¡°Then we must seize the opportunity to capture him first, in case something unexpected happens.¡± ¡°Yes, I understand.¡± After learning all the information in advance, at five o¡¯clock in the afternoon, Kieran arrived at the Duran¡¯s vi on time. Alexa had finished putting on makeup and was preparing to wear a pair of high heels. ¡°You are very beautiful tonight.¡± Hearing Conley¡¯s praise, Alexa smiled at the mirror. ¡°You¡¯re here.¡± After a simple greeting, Kieran took the high heels from the stylist and knelt down in front of her on one knee. Alexa¡¯s eyes could not help but sh with a touch of surprise, while Kieran gently held her right foot. This pair of high heels was designed with a belt. Alexa looked down and saw Kieran¡¯s well-maintained hands gradually move up and down. His warm fingertips touched her calf gently. As if there was electricity flowing all over her body, Alexa subconsciously shrank her legs. ¡°Did I hurt you? Sorry.¡± Kieran¡¯s eyes were filled with a touch of worry, but Alexa shook her head with an unnatural expression. ¡°No, thank you.¡± After everything was done, the two set off from the vi. Kieran personally drove the car and soon arrived at the private airport. At night on Staten Ind, the bright lights illuminated arge area of the sea. Alexa¡¯s and Kieran¡¯s appearances caused quite a stir. However, they were all wearing diamond masks like the other guests, so everyone could only guess their identities. Alexa elegantly carried her skirt and walked over. Kieran, dressed in a ck tuxedo, followed closely. They looked like the best match in the world. Not long after entering the venue, several guests came to talk to them. However, due to Kieran¡¯s presence, they did not dare to show too much interest in Alexa. Alexa looked at the luxurious hall quietly, and her eyes suddenly noticed the corridor on the second floor. A waiter walked around the rooms with a wine tray, indicating that there must be an honored guest inside. ¡°Everyone, please take your time. I have to leave now.¡± ¡°Call me if you need anything. I¡¯ll wait for you here,¡± Kieran quietly whispered beside her. ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa nodded gently and went to the restroom on the second floor. Alexa ran into a figure just as she took out her lipstick. ¡°Sorry¡­¡± As soon as she finished speaking, the person in front of her grabbed her wrist and firmly caught the lipstick that she had dropped with the other hand. Sensing the familiar aura, Alexa suddenly looked up and immediately met Terrence¡¯s deep eyes. When he met her startled eyes, Terrence wore a faint smile, but his eyes were very serious. ¡°Give it back to me.¡± Alexa was about to take back her lipstick, but Terrence avoided her touch and brought her to the side without saying a word. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± ¡°Of course, it¡¯s for the exhibition.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Terrence narrowed his eyes, obviously not believing her exnation. ¡°Do you think this clumsy excuse can send me away?¡± ¡°Believe it or not, it¡¯s up to you. Then why are you here again?¡± Alexa asked. Terrence brought her to a dim corner and stopped to look at Alexa¡¯s outfit tonight. No matter when, Alexa was always so dazzling. Terrence automatically skipped the question she had just asked and raised his hand to wrap around Alexa¡¯s slender waist. Her dress was a backless one, and the appropriate and exquisite cut perfectly outlined her fair figure. Terrence rubbed her delicate skin and felt somewhat jealous. ¡°Who chose this dress for you?¡± ¡°What? Doesn¡¯t it look good?¡± ¡°You look good, but everyone else is looking at you. I¡¯m not happy,¡± Terrence said awkwardly. ¡°You haven¡¯t told me what you are doing here.¡± Seeing that Alexa was so persistent, Terrence changed his tone. ¡°Caspian, the eldest son of the Moss family, will appear here tonight. If I am not wrong, you should havee for him, right?¡± ¡°Yes¡­¡± Terrence chuckled and lifted her chin mysteriously. ¡°It¡¯s such a simple matter. Why don¡¯t you just tell me? Why do you have toe here yourself?¡± ¡°Then you take me there now, right?¡± Seeing Alexa¡¯s eyes light up instantly, Terrence was not happy. She was so happy because of other men. ¡°Yes, but you have to apany me to change clothes first.¡± ¡°Change clothes? Your clothes are not dirty.¡± Terrence did not say a word and directly used the lipstick to draw a line on his shirt. ¡°It¡¯s dirty now. Let¡¯s go.¡± Alexa was stunned. Seeing that Terrence wanted to bring her to see Caspian, Alexa had topromise. Not long after, Terrence brought her to the lounge on the sixth floor. ¡°This is the VIP lounge. No one wille up to disturb us. This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org. Terrence said and locked the door with a backhand. Alexa stood by Terrence a little awkwardly. Alexa said directly, ¡°Then hurry up and change.¡± Terrence took off his coat and threw it on the sofa, casually pouring a ss of champagne. ¡°Sit.¡± This simple word suddenly hit her heart. Alexa did not even notice that a thinyer of sweat had appeared on her palm. Seeing that she was standing still, Terrence chuckled in a teasing manner. ¡°Why are you so silly?¡± ¡°I won¡¯t take a seat. Hurry up and change your clothes. Let¡¯s go down quickly.¡± As soon as Alexa finished speaking, there was indeed a series of rustling sounds. ¡°Come here.¡± Alexa thought that Terrence had changed his clothes, so she turned around without any precautions. Unexpectedly, Terrence was leisurely leaning on the sofa. His shirt was half-open, and the lines of his strong chest were faintly discernible. The red mark he had drawn just now even seemed a little erotic. Alexa was instantly frightened that her face turned pale, and she hurriedly averted her gaze and turned her back. ¡°Terrence, you¡­¡± ¡°What are you shy about?¡± Terrence whispered with interest, ¡°Haven¡¯t you seen more?¡± Chapter 280 Chapter 280 Chapter 280 Shouldn¡¯t You Thank Me? Alexa¡¯s face was burning hot. Alexa pursed her red lips anxiously and angrily.She shouted in a low voice, ¡°Terrence, shut up!¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, I was just stating the truth.¡± Then, Terrence teased, ¡°Well, I would love to prove it if you want.¡± ¡°No, I don¡¯t.¡± ¡°Okay, then let¡¯s talk about my condition.¡± When Alexa was absent-minded, Terrence picked her up by the waist and ced her on hisp. ¡°Ah¡­¡± Alexa eximed in a low voice and held Terrence by the neck in a panic. Terrence looked at the flustered Alexa. ¡°It seems that you are anxious to throw yourself on me.¡± ¡°I am not!¡± Alexa immediately straightened her back and gave Terrence a hard punch in the chest. Terrence grabbed that hand on his chest.He said with pleasure, ¡°You try to show your love to me with both punches and curses. Got you.¡± ¡°Terrence, you are a pervert, aren¡¯t you?¡± Alexa pulled back her hand with contempt but couldn¡¯t break free from Terrence, who held her waist tightly. In the blink of an eye, Terrence pinned Alexa to his chest. They were so close to each other that Alexa could feel Terrence¡¯s steady and powerful heartbeat. ¡°We haven¡¯t talked about what happenedst night.¡± Terrence paused, and the smile in his eyes faded a little. ¡°Did hee here with you tonight? Well, I will settle the score now.¡± ¡°What are you talking about?¡± Alexa snapped. ¡°I have no obligation to exin to you.¡± Terrence chuckled and wanted to tease Alexa again. ¡°I slept with youst night, but you turned against me today!¡± ¡°It¡­¡± ¡°I am sure that you must have dreamed of me,¡± Terrence said confidently. ¡°Don¡¯t be shy. Just tell me.¡± ¡°Well, I had a nightmare.¡± ¡°I was your savior in that dream.¡± Alexa finally lost her patience and wanted to break free from Terrence¡¯s embrace. Terrence was reluctant to let go of Alexa, and his face darkened. ¡°What exactly is going on between you and him? Didn¡¯t I tell you to break up with him a long time ago?¡± ¡°Terrence, don¡¯t interfere in my affairs.¡± ¡°What if I insist?¡± Terrence drawled. There was a touch of danger in the romantic atmosphere. However, Terrence nodded in the blink of an eye. ¡°I know. A mission from your family, isn¡¯t it?¡± Alexa blinked because Terrence got the right answer. ¡°However, inparison, I am a better candidate than him. Don¡¯t you think so?¡± Terrence frowned and chuckled. ¡°In terms of family background, ability, and intimacy, he is far inferior to me, isn¡¯t he?¡± ¡°Terrence, don¡¯t mess around.¡± ¡°I am not.¡± Terrence held Alexa¡¯s hand with rare grievances in his eyes. ¡°I just don¡¯t like him,¡± Terrence said word by word. ¡°Tell him to stay away from you.¡± ¡°Alright. I¡¯m going downstairs.¡± Alexa stood up and left the room without looking back. On the second floor, a group of men suddenly blocked Alexa¡¯s way. ¡°I don¡¯t think I know thisdy,¡± the man in the lead said coldly. ¡°May I ask if your name is on the guest list?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Alexa blinked and didn¡¯t know how to answer this question. This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°If not, sorry that I have to get you out.¡± The man took a few steps close to Alexa. His cold and overbearing aura made Alexa subconsciously hold the diamond mask on her face. ¡°Speak.¡± The man frowned and was about to pull off Alexa¡¯s mask. When he raised his hand, a tall figure appeared at the corner of the stairs. ¡°I know her.¡± The group of men looked in the direction of the voice. The hostility in their eyes faded a little after they recognized the speaker. ¡°Mr. Ramsey! It is a misunderstanding. Sorry.¡± Terrence stood beside Alexa. Then, he made an introduction. ¡°This is Caspian from the Moss family.¡± Caspian nodded slightly and then heard Terrence increase the volume. ¡°This is my wife, Alexa.¡± ¡°Nice to meet you.¡± Alexa took advantage of this opportunity. ¡°May I have a word with you, Mr. Moss?¡± ¡°We may talkter because I have to go start the ball now. Excuse me.¡± Before Alexa opened her mouth, Caspian nodded politely and quickly disappeared around the corner. Looking at Caspian¡¯s back, Alexa sighed helplessly. ¡°There will be another chance. What¡¯s the hurry?¡± Terrence said calmly. ¡°I hope so¡­¡± Alexa said absent-mindedly. Suddenly, something came to her mind. ¡°I have to go now.¡± When Alexa turned around, Terrence grabbed her wrist. ¡°I just helped you out, so shouldn¡¯t you thank me?¡± Speaking, Terrence noticed a figure downstairs.He chuckled mockingly, and there was a hint of displeasure in his tone. ¡°Or, is he more important than me in your eyes?¡± ¡°People are watching,¡± Alexa whispered. ¡°Let go now.¡± ¡°No, ¡°Terrence said stubbornly. ¡°After I let go, you will go find him, right?¡± Kieran will look in this direction soon, Alexa thought. Agitated, she shook off Terrence¡¯s hand. ¡°I¡¯ll give you an exnationter. I have some work at hand now.¡± Watching Alexa hurry away, Terrence curled his lips. Then, he exchanged one nce with Kieran who was downstairs. Terrence had the pride and arrogance of the noble in his eyes. Kieran looked away expressionlessly. He gently smiled as if nothing had happened when Alexa appeared. ¡°What took you so long? What can I do for you?¡± ¡°I saw Caspian,¡± Alexa whispered to Kieran. ¡°Oh?¡± Kieran became interested. Then, he asked, ¡°What did he say?¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t talked with him yet. It seemed he didn¡¯t like me.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. We will wait for another chance.¡± Hearing this, Alexa rxed a bit. A few momentster, a young man in a suit appeared on the stage not far away. ¡°Good evening,dies and gentlemen. I am Caspian. It is my honor to have you at the ball tonight.¡± Caspian¡¯s gaze swept over the crowd in the hall calmly. Then, Caspian said, ¡°One hourter, the best perfume of the Moss Group will be disyed here. I am looking forward to yourments. Now, enjoy the ball!¡± Then, the orchestra began to y pleasant dance music. The colors swirled around the hall, and the atmosphere gradually became lively. Kieran fixed his eager gaze on Alexa and bowed as a gentleman did. ¡°May I?¡± Chapter 281 Chapter 281 Chapter 281 You Can Hold My Hand Alexa¡¯s eyes shed. Just as she was about to put her hand on Kieran¡¯s, a figure suddenly got between them. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mr. Powell.¡± Very unusually, Terrence was smiling. ¡°My wife doesn¡¯t need to dance with other men.¡± Kieran calmly met Terrence¡¯s gaze and clearly saw the derision in his eyes. They were in a standoff for a while, which kept attracting other people¡¯s attention. ¡°It¡¯s really a small world.¡± A cheerful voice sounded. Surprised, Alexa saw Conley walking towards them. In a split second, the atmosphere became even stranger. ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°I have nothing to do anyway, so I came to you.¡± As soon as these words came out, the faces of Kieran and Terrence sank at the same time. Seeing the two in a standoff, Conley teased. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Are you having a tiny party?¡± As soon as Conley finished speaking, the two had even colder expressions. A party? They were almost into a fight. Alexa was speechless. She nced at the three men with mixed emotions in her eyes. ¡°I won¡¯t dance, okay?¡± ¡°No, you will dance.¡± Terrence replied hurriedly and looked at her firmly. ¡°It¡¯s not easy to have a chance to dance with my wife. How can I let others get between us?¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey seems to have forgotten that Alexa is my girlfriend and also my date tonight.¡± ¡°Oh? Is that so?¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes darkened as he sneered, ¡°It¡¯s all pretending. Not real.¡± Kieran secretly gritted his teeth. There was no obvious change in his expression, but Alexa could tell that Kieran was on the verge of exploding. ¡°It seems that you two gentlemen need some time to talk things through. Alexa,e with me.¡± ¡°No!¡± Terrence and Kieran shouted at the same time. Then the two nced at each other, and the air was full of tension. Alexa felt that she was with three gunpowder barrels that would explode at any time. In the blink of an eye, the music was over, but the three were still arguing. Alexa was tired of listening to it, and she took a ss of red wine from the waiter. However, she had only taken half a sip when Terrence snatched the ss away. ¡°Drink less, or you will feel unwell again.¡± He gently told Alexa. Then, as if to show off, he drank the rest of the wine in the ss in front of the other two men. ¡°Alexa, I brought you somemonly used medicine. If you feel unwell, you can tell me at any time.¡± ¡°Mr. Powell is so thoughtful.¡± Terrence said sarcastically, and Alexa red at him. ¡°She got me. You don¡¯t need to worry about her.¡± The tension between Terrence and Kieran continued. Conley stood nearby and enjoyed the drama, the smile on his face widening. So interesting. They stood there for quite a while, and then Caspian walked towards them. ¡°Guys, please follow me.¡± He didn¡¯t say where he was taking them, but Alexa followed him without hesitation. When the other three saw this, they immediately followed closely behind her. Not long after, they walked past the luxurious clubhouse and arrived at the quiet and private back garden. Alexa looked at the colorful flowers and suddenly smelled a special fragrance. ¡°It smells so good,¡± Alexa said. Caspian, who was walking in front of her, silently smiled. Then he neatly picked a white flower and handed it to Alexa. Alexa reached out to ept it without thinking, but Terrence stopped her in time. His deep and calm gaze fell on Caspian. ¡°What kind of flower is this?¡± ¡°Moon¡¯s Shadow,¡± Caspian said briefly. ¡°Moon¡¯s Shadow, what a beautiful name,¡± Alexa continued to praise. ¡°Unfortunately, beautiful flowers are usually with thorns,¡± Kieran said gently. ¡°Alexa, watch where you are going.¡± ¡°Mr. Powell indeed knows a lot about that sort of thing,¡± Conley said sarcastically. Kieran just fell silent and did not respond to him. The already strange atmosphere now became even stranger. After they finally quieted down, Terrence suddenly spoke. ¡°If you are afraid, you can hold my hand.¡± ¡°I am not afraid.¡± Being tly rejected by Alexa, Terrence could only pretend he wasn¡¯t hurt and forced a smile. A momentter, Caspian led them to an old house. ¡°This is the Moss family¡¯s heirloom, a ce for us to make perfume. It is very quiet. We won¡¯t be disturbed.¡± Caspian smiled with satisfaction and made a ¡°please¡± gesture. The door slowly opened, and the lights in the dim corridor started toe on. Although this ce had been deserted for a long time, there was still a faint fragrance. ¡°Mr. Moss, I came to you today mainly to learn about that thing¡­¡± ¡°Shh.¡± Caspian raised his index finger and softly shushed Alexa. ¡°It¡¯s not the right time yet.¡± Ugh. What a weirdo. Conley thought to himself. Then all the lights in the corridor suddenly went out. Alexa was shocked and subconsciously moved closer to Terrence. A warm and powerful hand grabbed hers firmly. That familiar feeling calmed Alexa a lot. ¡°What is going on¡­¡± she asked in a low voice. In the dark, someone was walking away from them. Kieran suddenly frowned. He stretched out his hand to grope for Caspian, but there was no one there. ¡°Are these machinery noises?¡± Conley said in a low voice. The gear sounds were instantly reced by much louder noises. The entire castle actually began to reassemble like a pile of blocks. ¡°Terrence, protect Alexa!¡± Conley eximed. ¡°I don¡¯t need you to tell me that.¡± As if to legitimate Conley¡¯s worries, the mechanisms in the corridor were triggered one after another and split them instantly. In the dark, Terrence¡¯s strong hand pulled Alexa into his arms. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . Even though she did not say a word, Terrence could feel her horror. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid.¡± Terrence¡¯s voice was as calm as just now. ¡°You got me. Nothing will happen to you.¡± As he spoke, his chest was trembling slightly. Alexa felt Terrence¡¯s heartbeat clearly, and it actually calmed her down. ¡°Well, I¡¯m not afraid¡­¡± Alexa was too nervous and did not even notice that the fragrance in the air was getting stronger. The strength in her body was gradually drained. And she suddenly cked out and copsed into Terrence¡¯s arms. When she woke up, Alexa found herself lying on a vintage and luxurious bed. Though she felt unwell, she sat bolt upright worriedly. ¡°Terrence!¡± ¡°Here¡­¡± The man sitting on the sofa respondedzily with a smile in his eyes. ¡°Do you miss me?¡± Alexa pushed her messy hair back, and most of the worry on her face disappeared. ¡°No.¡± ¡°No? Then¡­ You are worried about me?¡± Chapter 282 Chapter 282 Chapter 282 Impossible Fantasy Alexa rubbed her dizzy head and said weakly with a frown. ¡°Why are you still in the mood to be kidding?¡± ¡°I promised you that nothing would happen to you.¡± Terrence was determined. ¡°Rx yourself to sleep. When you wake up, we should be on the flight back home.¡± ¡°Weren¡¯t we in the corridor just now? Why are we here now?¡± ¡°I identally found this room.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°Since we cane in, it must have been specially prepared for us.¡± After Terrence finished speaking, Alexa asked in a t tone. ¡°Why are you sitting there so far away from me?¡± ¡°Kaff, kaff¡­¡± Terrence coughed unnaturally as if he had something difficult to tell. ¡°I¡¯d like to stay here.¡± Alexa didn¡¯t believe it and got out of bed to walk toward him. Terrence immediately stood up and moved further away, trying to avoid her. ¡°Don¡¯te over.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°It¡¯s ¡­ it¡¯s not the right time.¡± Alexa looked at Terrence doubtfully, and only then did she find out what had happened to Terrence. ¡°Why did you get blushed?¡± ¡°Nothing,¡± Terrence casually told a lie. ¡°It¡¯s hot.¡± Hearing it, Alexa also felt a little hot. She looked down to check her body and was immediately shocked. Alexa didn¡¯t know when it started, but her body even became hot. It was as if a fire was burning in her body, and she couldn¡¯t stand it. Seeing that Terrence was avoiding her eyes, Alexa had already realized what happened. ¡°Have you already known it?¡± ¡°I know it,¡± Terrence replied seriously. ¡°But please don¡¯te over. I may hurt you.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°The wine we drank just now and the flowers on the road were all traps set for us.¡± ¡°What ¡­ what do you mean?¡± ¡°It should be a medicine that can elerate the flow of blood. The effect should be rted to the absorption rate.¡± Alexa remembered the ss of red wine just now. She was ufortable with just a small sip, but Terrence drank the remaining half of the ss¡­ ¡°Are you okay now?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Terrence pinched the space between his eyebrows and loosened his shirt cor. ¡°I¡¯ll be fine after feeling the cool breeze. Don¡¯t worry about me.¡± ¡°If I had known it earlier, I wouldn¡¯t have drunk that wine¡­¡± ¡°It was not your fault.¡± Instead, Terrence smiled very happily. ¡°Why are you ming yourself for it?¡± He looked very ufortable, but he still had to be calm to make her feel at ease. For some reason, Alexa suddenly felt a little upset. ¡°In short, we have to think of a way to get out first.¡± ¡°I have just checked it. The structure of this room is very strange. Something should be set on purpose.¡± ¡°But, how are we going to find our way?¡± In front of Alexa, Terrence did not panic and even gossiped about someone who was not present quite unhappily. ¡°How could he act in that way? It was a ridiculous trick for children. It was so funny.¡± At this time, a few men were silent in another dark room. The man in the lead sat on the table. The electronic screens in front of him constantly showed him different recordings. The dim light reflected on his face, making him look mysterious and serious. ¡°Mr. Moss, why did you capture all of them?¡± The subordinate asked in confusion. Caspian suddenly stopped tapping the table and put on a yful smile. This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org. ¡°Of course, because it was interesting,¡± he smiled. ¡°There should be many people looking for me right now, right? ¡°Jovan¡¯s men were already involved, but they have yet not found out by us. ¡°Send more men. We must capture them alive!¡± Although Caspian still maintained calm, he seemed ruthless when he gave his order. It was said that there would be a thunderstorm tonight, but the real storm had already begun. ¡°Moon¡¯s Shadow¡­¡± Caspian sighed as he muttered to himself. The bright moonlight shone silently on the white flower in his palm. ¡°It would make you lost in your fantasy. It would be your impossible dream.¡± From his eyes, one could never tell that Caspian was warm. He turned the flower petals into powder with a single move of his hand. Caspian then turned off the screen and left the room directly. An hour had passed since Terrence and Alexa were trapped in the room. Terrence¡¯s blushed face kept the same. Alexa could even feel that he made more effort to breathe than before. ¡°Don¡¯t be in the wind.¡± Alexa cared about Terrence. ¡°You may catch a cold.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine¡­¡± As soon as Terrence finished speaking, he immediately raised his hand and pressed it against his chest. Because of the rushing up blood, Terrence felt dizzy. He had no choice but to close his eyes heavily, and it took a long time for him to calm down. Alexa had no way to ignore Terrence and went forward to support him. His body temperature was frighteningly high, but the moment Terrence was touched by Alexa, he feltfortable and enjoyed it. ¡°Do you want to lie down for a while?¡± Alexa helped him to the bed and sat down. Terrence nodded silently and listened to her. He was so obedient. ¡°You stay here for a rest first. I¡¯ll go look for clues.¡± After saying that, Alexa stood up and stayed still, but Terrence grabbed her wrist. Before she could recover, Terrence pulled her back with more strength without any exnation, and Alexa fell into his arms out of her expectation. ¡°Don¡¯t leave me¡­¡± His voice was so hoarse. He hugged her tightly with both arms as if he had finally caught someone that he loved with great difficulty. Alexa felt that she had got a too faster heartbeat. ¡°I won¡¯t leave. Don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Terrence answered vaguely and buried his head in her neck. Terrence kept silent again. After a long time, Alexa thought that he had fallen asleep. However, he began to kiss her neck gently. ¡°Alexa, have you recovered?¡± Alexa was astonished. She opened her red lips slightly to answer, but Terrence kissed her deeply and wiped away all her words. At that moment, he was so sincere, carefully kissing his lover who was cherished by him so much. Alexa could not help but raise her neck, and Terrence kissed her neck affectionately. They were both enjoying the moment. ¡°You are already fine, right?¡± Terrence was so childlike. Alexa calmed down and decided to check his temperature by touching his forehead. ¡°Gosh, it¡¯s so hot.¡± Alexa was shocked. ¡°Terrence, you have a fever.¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Terrence shook his head and fixed his eyes on Alexa. ¡°How about you? How do you feel?¡± If they continued, they would be out of control. Alexa silently looked down at the ring on her finger. Her brother had once told her that the reason the special medicine could be developed so quickly was that her blood carried a born gene for purifying poison. In the past two years, the doctor had been constantly extracting her blood to conduct research and development of the antidote. In that case¡­ Alexa did not hesitate at all. She directly took the hair ornament and cut her index finger. The bright red blood quickly came out. Alexa begged secretly, please! It has to be effective! Alexa made up her mind and pressed her index finger on Terrence¡¯s thin lips. Chapter 283 Chapter 283 Chapter 283 How Shall I Comfort You? ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°I hope it will work.¡± The sweet blood soon flew into Terrence¡¯s mouth, and he unexpectedly came to his senses. Terrence was surprised, but Alexa calmly pulled out a handkerchief to wipe away the blood on her hand, as if nothing had happened. ¡°What the hell was going on?¡± ¡°I saw this method in the book. It just happened to work.¡± After that, Alexa immediately changed the topic. ¡°Let¡¯s think of a way to get out.¡± Terrence recovered, but he felt more anxious now. Alexa kept a secret from him. The secret was so important, but he only knew little about it. Not long after, they discovered the secret of the lock. ¡°We need the password,¡± Terrence calmly analyzed. ¡°Fortunately, it is not difficult.¡± Since Terrence had recovered, in less than ten minutes, he unlocked the door. However, the moment they opened the door, they found a crowd standing outside the door. Caspian slowly apuded, and his face was extremely gloomy. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that Moon¡¯s Shadow would not work on you.¡± Terrence did not hesitate to hold Alexa in his arms, his angry eyes piercing Caspian. ¡°For the sake of my wife, I gave you a chance,¡± Terrence faintly sneered. ¡°But you don¡¯t seem to care about it.¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, are you threatening me? Don¡¯t forget that I can kill you at any time,¡± Caspian gritted his teeth. ¡°Why are you so hostile to us?¡± Alexa suddenly asked indifferently. Caspian paused for a moment and thenughed arrogantly. ¡°It was not easy for me to get rid of that trouble. How could I allow you to get me involved again?¡± Caspian looked like he had lost his mind. At the same time, Alexa also felt Terrence hold her even more tightly. It was serious. But she still unconsciously remembered what Terrence had said before. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, I¡¯m here.¡± Caspian was silent for a moment and then put on a meaningful smile suddenly regardless of his gloomy face. ¡°I was wondering how you solved the problem of Moon¡¯s Shadow. It turned out that it was because of you.¡± Caspian fixed his deep eyes on Alexa without hesitation. He was cruel and angry. Terrence felt it and was about to lose his temper in a minute. ¡°Mr. Moss, I don¡¯t know what you are talking about,¡± Alexa said indifferently. ¡°Stop it. Is it because of your genes? No wonder they are all looking for you.¡± ¡°Caspian, you should know the result if you try to hurt her.¡± ¡°You won¡¯t be able to leave today. Jovan¡¯s men are also on the ind. If you allow her to go with me, I can consider leading you a way out,¡± Caspian sneered without fear. ¡°It seems that you can¡¯t wait to see your end.¡± Just as Terrence finished speaking, a loud noise came from outside the door. The well-trained bodyguards filed in and quickly surrounded them. ¡°Have you prepared for it?¡± Caspian raised his eyebrows. He seemed to care little about such an ident. ¡°From the moment you tried to hurt her, you should have expected it.¡± Terrence¡¯s shining eyes told his anger. He took off his coat and wrapped Alexa in it before carrying her out of the castle. The luxurious helicopter was floating on thewn. Alexa subconsciously grabbed Terrence¡¯s sleeve, and tears seemed to fill in her eyes. ¡°Wait¡­ We have to rescue Conley and the others¡­¡± ¡°I have already arranged for someone else to rescue them, don¡¯t worry.¡± Terrence was extremely gentle, and Alexa leaned in his arms, silently enjoying his hug. After entering the cabin, he immediately found a soft nket and covered Alexa up. Then, he brought her a ss of warm milk. Seeing that he was busy, Alexa faintly smiled. ¡°I¡¯m fine. I¡¯m not so weak.¡± ¡°I¡¯m used to caring about all your matters.¡± Terrence then took the medicine box and held Alexa¡¯s hand seriously. Just now, Alexa did not pay attention to her strength to cut herself at all. Now she found that the wound was deeply cut and the blood was still seeping out. ¡°It¡¯s fine. I will be fine in a while,¡± Alexa said as usual. ¡°You are always used to hurting yourself. In front of me, please don¡¯t do it. And you don¡¯t need to do it,¡± Terrence said word by word. ¡°I¡­¡± Alexa had indeed been injured more seriously, but no one ever asked her if she felt pain. Now that Terrence was so worried about such a wound, Alexa pursed her lips and tried to hold back her tears. She was easily touched. Hearing Alexa sobbing, Terrence looked up in surprise and thought it was his illusion. However, when Terrence saw Alexa wiping away her tears in a panic, he became even more serious. ¡°Okay, stop crying,¡± he gently wiped away the tears on Alexa¡¯s face with his finger, ¡°you would make me helpless.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to cry¡­¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter,¡± Terrence fixed his eyes on Alexa and added, ¡°don¡¯t feel embarrassed, it¡¯s just¡­¡± This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org. ¡°Just what?¡± ¡°It¡¯s just that when you cry, how shall Ifort you?¡± Terrence asked very seriously. In his mind, it was very important to him. ¡°You were so lovely like a kitten when you cried.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t lie to me. I know I¡¯m very ugly right now.¡± ¡°Not at all,¡± Terrence smiled with his shining eyes, ¡°it¡¯s my answer.¡± Alexa gradually stopped crying after beingforted by Terrence. Terrence also dealt with her wound and then carefully ced Alexa¡¯s hand in his palm. ¡°I¡¯ll help you look after your wound so that you won¡¯t get hurt again.¡± Alexa agreed and silently looked at her hand. Now that her secret was known by Terrence, Alexa didn¡¯t know if it was good or not. However, Alexa did not think so much. Not long after, she gradually fell asleep. When Alexa woke up again, she was shocked to find herself lying in a familiar room. It was an apartment. Outside the window, Alexa found it was already the next morning. Last night¡­ When did shee back? Alexa subconsciously went to the bathroom to take a bath. After tidying herself up, she slowly went downstairs. Alexa suddenly heard Damarionughing in the living room. Alexa thought she had mistaken it. However, when Alexa looked closer, she found Damarion indeed sitting on the baby chair by the side, looking at Terrence who was preparing the milk with a face full of expectation. Terrence was dressed in a high-end suit, and he looked elegant as ever. But he was preparing the milk in such a practiced way. ¡°Terrence?¡± Hearing Alexa¡¯s voice, Terrence looked up at her gently. ¡°Did you wake up? There is breakfast that I just made on the table.¡± ¡°Mom!¡± Damarion greeted her in a childish voice, and in the next moment, he received the milk bottle that Terrence handed over with satisfaction. ¡°Excuse me.¡± Alexa walked to Damarion and gently rubbed his head with a smile. ¡°When did Damarione?¡± ¡°He just arrived here,¡± Terrence exined with ease. ¡°Yareli said that Damarion refused to have dinner.¡± ¡°So today, Damarion failed to be a good baby, right?¡± Chapter 284 Chapter 284 Chapter 284 Terrence Is Jealous Hearing Alexa¡¯s tease, Terrence actually felt a little jealous. After Damarion finished the milk, Terrence immediately asked the nanny to take him to the backyard to y. Alexa sat at the table and ate breakfast. Terrence stayed by her side and did not intend to go to work. ¡°Don¡¯t you have to go to work today?¡± Alexa asked doubtfully. ¡°You finally noticed me.¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°I just want you to think more about me,¡± Terrence said with innocence. ¡°It seems that I have made things difficult for you.¡± ¡°Why are you so strange?¡± Alexa frowned slightly, and she was guessing what Terrence wanted to do. However, Terrence suddenly changed the topic and picked up her hand. ¡°Let me see the injury.¡± ¡°It was just a minor injury. I¡¯m fine now.¡± ¡°That won¡¯t do.¡± Alexa looked at the wound that was almost healed and wondered why Terrence was so nervous. ¡°Just in case, I will be by your side 24 hours a day.¡± ¡°No¡­¡± Before Alexa refused, Terrence interrupted. ¡°After you finish breakfast, I will send you to thepany.¡± Today was Monday, and there were too many things to do in thepany. Alexa did not dare to dy. When she was ready to go out with her handbag, Terrence had already waited for her at the door. ¡°Get in the car, Mrs. Ramsey.¡± His car was high-profile and stood out in the crowd, and Alexa had to sit in the passenger seat. ¡°Actually, you don¡¯t have to do this. I have a professional driver.¡± ¡°Professional?¡± Terrence raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡°No one is more professional than me in terms of protecting you.¡± Alexa was speechless. ¡°Or is it that you are not in a hurry to reveal our rtionship to the public?¡± ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . Before Alexa could reply, Terrence began to speak for himself. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. We have time.¡± ¡°I will get off at the front intersection of Vision Group.¡± ¡°No,¡± Terrence emphasized. Ten minutester, he drove into the underground garage of Vision Group with ease. Alexa pressed the elevator button and did not expect Terrence to still follow her. ¡°Why haven¡¯t you left yet?¡± ¡°I said I would stay with you for 24 hours. How could I leave?¡± Soon, Alexa understood what Terrence meant. Edwin stood at the door of her office with tworge bags of folders. After seeing them, he respectfully greeted them and said. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, I have brought all the documents you want.¡± ¡°Well, I will work here today.¡± Hearing this, Alexa quickly pulled Terrence into the office. ¡°Just go. I don¡¯t want others to see us together.¡± ¡°I have already signed the shares transfer agreement. As long as you agree, Hudson Group will immediately be yours.¡± Alexa was stunned. She never thought that Terrence would say this. ¡°Do you know what you are saying?¡± Alexa didn¡¯t know that Terrence was crazier than her¡­ ¡°Of course, you can choose a day to buy Hudson Group.¡± ¡°What do I want Hudson Group for?¡± ¡°Oh, I see.¡± Terrence smiled mysteriously and said with a smile, ¡°You want something else, right? You don¡¯t care about mypany but me, right?¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you today?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine, but I love you more today than yesterday.¡± Alexa did not want to talk nonsense with him and immediately sat at the desk to deal with the affairs. Although Terrence was also reading the documents, his mind had always been on Alexa. The morning autumn sun sprinkled on her face. Alexa was really charming when she focused on her work. Terrence could not help but pick up his mobile phone to take a few photos of her, but he happened to be caught by Alexa. ¡°Why did you take sneak photos of me?¡± Alexa was confused. Terrence tapped on the screen and said proudly. ¡°I have already set your photo as my wallpaper. In return, you can also set mine as your wallpaper.¡± ¡°Boring.¡± However, Alexa was absent-minded because of what Terrence said. She forced herself to read the documents, but she could not focus on them. Her thoughts had drifted far away. Wallpaper? Alexa thought. Alexa quietly checked her photo album on her phone. The only encrypted photo was their wedding picture. However, it was just that they didn¡¯t look like a perfect match at that time. Only young girls would look forward to love. Alexa signed her name on the document. And her phone beside her suddenly rang. It was from ra. Alexa immediately went to the window of the office to answer the phone. ¡°What? Kieran is sick? How is he?¡± Alexa frowned and looked worried. ¡°Yes, I see.¡± After a simple chat, Alexa hung up the phone. However, as soon as she turned around, she was startled to meet Terrence¡¯s inquiring eyes. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Alexa gasped, ¡°It¡¯s rude to eavesdrop on other people¡¯s calls.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t eavesdrop.¡± Terrence shrugged and said, ¡°I just happened to pass by.¡± He was eavesdropping openly. Alexa nced at him with mixed feelings and walked around Terrence into the office. Although he did not hear what ra was saying, ording to Alexa¡¯s answer, Terrence had roughly guessed what it was. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you don¡¯t see it¡¯s just an excuse.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°About Kieran. It¡¯s just an excuse.¡± Terrence was against Kieran. Alexa exined resignedly. ¡°He is really not feeling well.¡± ¡°Oh? So?¡± ¡°So I need to find time to see him.¡± ¡°What?¡± Terrence could understand every word that Alexa said, but he didn¡¯t know what she meant. ¡°Nothing.¡± ¡°There¡¯s something,¡± Terrence pressed her. ¡°You are hiding something.¡± Alexa did not want to quarrel with him because of this matter, so she casually found an excuse to brush it off. However, when Terrence went out to meet the client, Alexa secretly went to the hospital. Terrence knew Alexa well and knew that she would go to the hospital. But when he heard that she had specially brought food for Kieran, Terrence suddenly felt jealous. ¡°Why is she so nice to an outsider?¡± Hearing Terrence¡¯sint, Edwin braced up and asked. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, shall I take her back?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have the qualifications to take her back.¡± Terrence¡¯s face became more darkened, and he looked cold. ¡°Kieran is more important.¡± Edwin did not know how to respond. When he looked at Terrence again, Terrence pretended to be indifferent and stared at theputer screen. At this time, Alexa had already arrived at the hospital. Kieran was alone in the VIP room. Unlike his usual state when he wore a delicate suit, he was only wearing white casual clothes now and looked pale and cold. Chapter 285 Chapter 285 Chapter 284 Terrence Is Jealous Hearing Alexa¡¯s tease, Terrence actually felt a little jealous. After Damarion finished the milk, Terrence immediately asked the nanny to take him to the backyard to y. Alexa sat at the table and ate breakfast.

Unlike his usual state when he wore a delicate suit, he was only wearing white casual clothes now and looked pale and cold. Chapter 286 Chapter 286 Chapter 286 Terrence Feels Disappointed Terrence said it proudly. Alexa didn¡¯t understand what he meant. Terrence smiled and added. ¡°It seems that Mr. Powell is pretty amorous.¡± Alexa just wanted to say that Kieran might be interested in Lh,but Terrence just misinterpreted her meaning. Not long after, Terrence stopped the car in front of a newly opened dessert shop. ¡°Why did youe here?¡± ¡°You¡¯ve been too busytely. You need to rx.¡± After that, Terrence held her hand and entered the hall. The soothing music resounded in the hall, creating a warm atmosphere. The special decorations added a bit of warmth to the shop. Although it was open for business, there were no guests in the hall. The barbers stood respectfully at the side, and Alexa knew what had happened. ¡°Can we make the desserts ourselves?¡± Alexa was immediately attracted by the rich baking materials, and a sweet smile appeared on her face. ¡°Terrence, can we do it ourselves?¡± ¡°Do it ourselves?¡± Terrence was a bit surprised to hear that and looked at Alexa doubtfully. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Can¡¯t I?¡± Alexa asked with a puzzled look. ¡°Yes, of course,¡± Terrence said happily. ¡°I couldn¡¯t ask for more.¡± Alexa was in a good mood, and it didn¡¯t take long for her to make a crepe cake, but she still needed to do some decoration. Terrence sat at the side and stared at her with a warm smile on his handsome face. ¡°Will it be too sweet?¡± Alexa whispered to herself and concentrated on making the cream. Terrence nodded and said lightly. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s very sweet.¡± ¡°How do you know? You haven¡¯t tasted it yet,¡± Alexa said in surprise. Terrence leaned forward slightly and ate the spoonful of cake that Alexa scooped up. And he took the opportunity to kiss the back of her hand. ¡°I have tasted it. It is indeed very sweet. I like it very much.¡± Alexa blinked her eyes, quickly concealing her restless guilty conscience. She immediately looked away, but Terrence raised his hand to hold her jaw. ¡°What are you hiding for? Little girl, why is your face so red?¡± Terrence looked at her face. Alexa blushed even more. She shyly pushed away Terrence¡¯s hand and muttered in a low voice. ¡°I¡¯m not a little girl.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t like this title? Then I¡¯ll change to another one¡­¡± Terrence seriously thought about it and mysteriously leaned closer. ¡°Darling?¡± Hearing this, Alexa was horrified. ¡°Shut up!¡± Terrence caressed Alexa¡¯s waist from time to time and watched her put the cake into a box. ¡°Why did you make so much?¡± Terrence pretended to be calm and did not say it directly, but he was alreadycent in his heart. Alexa really cares about me. She actually made so many cakes for me, Terrence thought. ¡°I have to let the guys taste them.¡± ¡°What?¡± Terrence pretended to be calm, but his eyes began to look cold. ¡°Who are you going to give them to?¡± ¡°You know, the colleagues of the president¡¯s office.¡± Alexa did not find anything wrong. ¡°There is still something to do in thepany. Let¡¯s go.¡± Terrence held her hand without any exnation and let the bodyguard pick up the box. Alexa followed him out of the baking store. When she sat in the car, she clearly felt that there was something wrong with Terrence. She didn¡¯t know why he was angry. ¡°What happened?¡± Alexa asked doubtfully. ¡°Nothing.¡± Terrence awkwardly squeezed out these words. ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal anyway.¡± Terrence thought that she would continue to ask, and he could bargain, but Alexa didn¡¯t pursue it. ¡°Alright.¡± Terrence was shocked. Alexa didn¡¯t care about him. Terrence felt so disappointed, and his disappointment might turn into anger at any time. Alexa looked at her cell phone and suddenly said in surprise. ¡°It will snow tomorrow?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Terrence replied. ¡°It will be Christmas soon.¡± ¡°Time flies.¡± C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. Alexa looked out the window and seemed to be thinking about something. Alexa only came back to her senses when she smelled the cold wooden fragrance. She did not know when Terrence was so close to her, so close that as long as she moved slightly, her delicate lips would touch his face. ¡°What are you doing?¡± Alexa tried to dodge him. ¡°Looking at you.¡± Terrence stared at her curiously. ¡°What are you thinking about?¡± ¡°Nothing.¡± Alexa shook her head. ¡°Nothing serious.¡± ¡°Speaking of this, where are you nning to spend Christmas?¡± Terrence lowered his eyes and stroked her palm, intentionally or unintentionally, with his calloused fingertips. ¡°How about youe back to the Ramsey¡¯s house with me?¡± he asked sincerely. ¡°My parents miss you very much.¡± Alexa paused, hesitating. But after a while, she said. ¡°We¡¯ll see when the timees.¡± Alexa did not directly refuse, but she would not agree. Terrence¡¯s heart instantly sank. ¡°How about you take Damarion with you?¡± Alexa came up with such a proposal after a struggle, but Terrence directly refused. ¡°If you don¡¯t go with us, it¡¯s not a reunion.¡± ¡°At least your parents can see him,¡± Alexa chuckled. Terrence felt that Alexa was right, but the disappointment in his eyes had already exposed his thoughts. When they returned to thepany, Alexa was nning to distribute the cakes to everyone, but the bodyguard was nowhere to be seen. ¡°Terrence, where are my cakes?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know,¡± Terrence replied calmly. ¡°Maybe they got lost.¡± Half an hourter, Terrence returned to Hudson Group. The cakes that had ¡°disappeared¡± were ced on his table. Terrence was so happy that he was like a child who had received a lot of candy, and more importantly, no one shared Alexa¡¯s cakes with him. Edwin came in to report on his work and was surprised to see that Terrence was eating cakes. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, I remember that you don¡¯t like desserts.¡± Terrence raised his eyes slightly and asked casually. ¡°Is that so? I don¡¯t think so.¡± Edwin knew who gave him the cakes. As expected, Mrs. Ramsey can always change his mind, Edwin thought. ¡°How is the matter going?¡± Terrence changed the topic, and Edwin immediately became very serious. ¡°Caspian is now under our control. The Moss family has now asked for 3.2 million dors.¡± ¡°3.2 million dors.¡± A cynical smile appeared on Terrence¡¯s face. ¡°The life of the Moss family¡¯s eldest son is only worth 3.2 million dors?¡± ¡°Many people want to buy his life now. If not for you, Caspian would have been killed by others.¡± Hearing this, Terrence closed his eyes and nodded. He was enduring his anger. Terrence had never intended to save Caspian, and he was even very jealous of Caspian. It was just a stranger, yet Alexa cared so much about him. Chapter 287 Chapter 287 Chapter 287 Giselle Comes to the Duran¡¯s House However, Caspian was still of some value to Alexa. Terrence had to be kind to him. They didn¡¯t talk much before someone knocked on the office door. Terrence immediately returned to his usual coldness and indifferently said, ¡°Come in.¡± However, when Terrence saw theer, his eyes lit up. ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°I have something to ask of you.¡± Alexa sat on the sofa in a somewhat reserved manner. Edwin immediately left. Seeing the cakes on the desk, Alexa looked at Terrence with aplicated gaze. She knew why the cakes were missing. ¡°I don¡¯t know why they are here,¡± Terrence insisted. ¡°It was definitely an ident.¡± Alexa did not care about it but coldly changed the topic. ¡°Caspian is missing.¡± ¡°Oh? So?¡± ¡°I just wanted to ask you if you have any news about him.¡± ¡°Why do I have news of him?¡± Catching the mischievous smile in Terrence¡¯s eyes, Alexa confirmed her thoughts even more. ¡°Did you take him away?¡± ¡°Am I so kind in your heart?¡± Terrence teased. ¡°I am happy that you think of me like that. So how are you going to reward me?¡± ¡°Is he really in your hands?¡± Alexa took the opportunity to say, ¡°Name a price.¡± ¡°Name a price?¡± Terrence smiled. He had never heard such funny things. ¡°Do you think this is a market to buy groceries?¡± he smiled and asked. ¡°You should know what I want, or do you need me to give you a hint?¡± ¡°What?¡± Alexa frowned slightly and looked like she really did not know what Terrence wanted. ¡°Idiot.¡± Terrence couldn¡¯t help but smile as he approached her and easily surrounded her in a corner of the sofa. Terrence rested one of his knees on the sofa, revealing a meaningful smile on his face. Alexa instinctively avoided his gaze and was too nervous to speak. The atmosphere was too intimate now, and Alexa felt panicked. ¡°What are you doing? We¡¯re in the office.¡± Alexa breathed in a panic. ¡°I know. No one wille in.¡± As she realized that things seemed to be really strange, Alexa¡¯s pupils contracted, and she was a little wary. ¡°Terrence, don¡¯t mess around.¡± ¡°What do you mean by messing around?¡± Terrence slowly reached out to her. Alexa was so scared that she immediately turned her head to avoid him, but what she imagined did not happen. ¡°What are you afraid of? Your eyes are tightly closed.¡± Alexa opened her eyes, just in time to see Terrence¡¯s perfect profile. His slightly cool fingertips gently touched her hair and quickly sorted out the hair ornament that was about to fall. ¡°It¡¯s done.¡± After he finished speaking, Terrence pulled Alexa up and sat down by her side. ¡°Are you doing this just to help me tidy up my hair essories?¡± ¡°What else? What else are you thinking about?¡± Meeting his meaningful gaze, Alexa instantly stopped talking, not wanting to dwell on the matter. ¡°Why don¡¯t you let me help you investigate Caspian?¡± asked Terrence. ¡°This is my own business. I don¡¯t want to trouble someone else.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not someone else.¡± Alexa seemed to have not heard this and changed the topic. ¡°In short, he is very important to me now.¡± With that, she got up. ¡°Damarion is still waiting for me at home. I have to go back now.¡± ¡°Wait.¡± Terrence took her hand, and Alexa looked at him doubtfully. ¡°Forget it. It¡¯s fine. I¡¯ll send you back.¡± ¡°No. My driver is waiting for me downstairs.¡± After leaving Hudson Group, Alexa went straight back in the car. ¡°Ms. Duran, Mr. Duran is back today,¡± Linda Farley, Alexa¡¯s new assistant, said. Alexa paused for a moment and then looked at Linda. ¡°Alright. Let the cook make some dishes that my brother loves. I¡¯ll go back now.¡± ¡°In addition, he also brought a guest back.¡± ¡°A guest?¡± Just as Alexa walked to the door of the vi, she heard a strange female voiceing from the living room. ¡°I want Romanee-Conti. This is not the one. It tastes bad. I won¡¯t drink it.¡± The woman spoke slowly, with a trace of dissatisfaction in her tone. ¡°Ms. Niebergall, the Romanee-Conti you want is Ms. Duran¡¯s collection. Without her permission, we do not have the right to open it.¡± The servant had already made it clear, but Giselle was prouder and colder when she heard that, and she became even more displeased. ¡°Ms. Duran?¡± Giselle murmured it with great interest and suddenly chuckled. ¡°I remember that she even gave birth to a child. Why does she still stay in the family?¡± Giselle paused for a moment and thenughed disdainfully. ¡°Is it because no man wants her?¡± Alexa listened to every word Giselle said and sneered. When Alexa entered the living room, Giselle immediately stopped talking. ¡°We have a guest? Why didn¡¯t anyone tell me in advance?¡± Alexa said gracefully. ¡°Ms. Duran, this is Ms. Niebergall, Mr. Duran¡¯s guest,¡± the housekeeper said. ¡°So you are Ms. Duran.¡± The smile on Giselle¡¯s face deepened as she deliberately emphasized the words. ¡°Nice to meet you.¡± Alexa stretched out her hand in a friendly manner, but Giselle just sat proudly on the side and sorted her shawl, ignoring Alexa. ¡°Ms. Duran, sit down.¡±This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org. Giselle said proudly, just like she was the mistress of the house. The housekeeper gave Alexa a look awkwardly, but she didn¡¯t seem to be angry. ¡°Hasn¡¯t Keyone back yet?¡± ¡°Oh, Keyon went out to deal with something. He will be back soon,¡± Giselle said. ¡°I see.¡± Alexa nodded and shifted her gaze to the wine ss on the table. ¡°Ms. Niebergall likes wine?¡± Alexa smiled and said to the housekeeper, ¡°Could you bring a bottle of Romanee-Conti over here?¡± As she heard this, Giselle¡¯s face finally eased up a little. Alexa had just sat down on the sofa when Yareli carried Damarion over. When she saw the child, Giselle was a bit surprised. ¡°Ms. Duran, Damarion is awake.¡± ¡°Damarion,e to me.¡± Alexa warmly opened her arms to Damarion, and the little guy immediately staggered over and threw himself into her arms. It was winter, and Damarion was wearing much, looking like a meatball. But even when she saw such a warm scene, Giselle didn¡¯t show any interest. However, Damarion was interested in her. ¡°Madam,¡± Damarion said seriously. ¡°Madam? Am I that old?¡± Giselle frowned. ¡°Damarion, this is Ms. Niebergall.¡± Alexa gently corrected him, but Damarion did not listen to her and even looked away without a care. ¡°He is really smart.¡± Giselle nced at them, and Alexa knew that she was saying the opposite. ¡°But I have never heard Keyon mention this child¡¯s father?¡± ¡°It seems that Ms. Niebergall is very concerned about us.¡± Alexa spoke unhurriedly. Although she maintained a polite smile on her face, Alexa¡¯s aura was cold and strong. Chapter 288 Chapter 288 Chapter 288 After All, They Are a Family Beside her, Yareli red at Giselle with hostility. Yareli was very dissatisfied in her heart. Alexa and Damarion were like family to her. Yareli just couldn¡¯t bear to see others bully them. ¡°Ms. Niebergall is just a guest. Why are you so interested in the Duran family¡¯s affairs? What do Ms. Duran and Mr. Ramsey have to do with you?¡± Yareli sneered. ¡°You¡­¡± Giselle¡¯s face suddenly turned gloomy. She was furious. ¡°You are just a servant. How dare you speak to me like this!¡± ¡°Ms. Niebergall.¡± Alexa still smiled, but the sense of oppression became more and more intense. ¡°This is the Duran¡¯s house. You can¡¯t be so presumptuous.¡± Seeing that something was wrong, Damarion hurriedly hid in Alexa¡¯s arms and quietly sized up Giselle. ¡°Yes, this is the Duran¡¯s house. I didn¡¯t expect this is how you treat your guest,¡± Giselle retorted. ¡°Ms. Niebergall, you are joking. I am just doing my job. You are a guest, and you are also a guest invited by my brother.¡± Alexa nodded slightly, looking as cold and calm as ever. Giselle shook the wine in the ss with a cold face, and a trace of imperceptible viciousness shed in her eyes. ¡°I am the third miss of the Niebergall family. How can you talk to me like that?¡± ¡°We are not your parents. We have no obligation to spoil you,¡± Yareli calmly added. Giselle was so angry that she stood up and rushed out of the door with a pale face. Alexa just yed with Damarion and did not even nce at her. ¡°I wonder what Mr. Duran is thinking. He actually took a fancy to this kind of woman.¡± Yareli said. Alexa silently listened, not saying a word. When Keyon returned, Damarion was eating auxiliary food. He couldn¡¯t care less about Giselle, who was angry next to him, and directly bent over to pick up Damarion. ¡°Damarion, did you miss uncle?¡± ¡°Uncle.¡± Damarion called out to him in a cute voice. Keyon immediately kissed this little fellow. ¡°What did Damar eat today?¡± ¡°It was made by a nutritionist. Damar has always liked it,¡± Alexa said gently. ¡°OK.¡± Keyon nodded with gratification, and then personally called the nutritionist to remind him, ¡°Damar¡¯s meals must be strictly regted every day. You must use the freshest ingredients. No mistakes are allowed.¡± Seeing this, Giselle forced out a smile. ¡°Keyon really cares about Damarion.¡± ¡°Damar is the child of my younger sister. Of course, I¡¯m concerned.¡± In front of Damarion, Keyon¡¯s tone and expression were both very gentle. Giselle¡¯s smile was slightly stiff, and the jealousy in her heart grew deeper and deeper. ¡°Yes, if you have your child in the future, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll care about him a thousand times more.¡± Keyon didn¡¯t reply, and he reached out to pinch Alexa¡¯s arm. ¡°Why are you only wearing these clothes on such a cold day? Why don¡¯t you add a coat?¡± Keyon¡¯s eyes were full of worries. ¡°You¡¯re weak. It won¡¯t be good if you catch a cold.¡± ¡°I see.¡± Alexa nodded and looked at Giselle. ¡°I forgot when I thought about talking to Ms. Niebergall.¡± Keyon slightly tilted his head. Only then did he notice Giselle. ¡°Giselle, this is my sister Alexa. You have already seen her, right?¡± ¡°Yes, I have. I had a very good chat with Alexa.¡± ¡°It¡¯s good that you get along well with each other.¡± Alexa wlessly talked to her. Even though Giselle hid her emotions very well, Alexa could still detect a trace of hostility. ¡°Let¡¯s eat and talkter.¡± Keyon said, and everyone walked towards the dining room at the same time. However, just as Alexa sat down, an uninvited guest appeared at the door. When Keyon saw the person who came, his face instantly became as cold as ice, and even a monstrous killing intent rose silently. Terrence stood at the door in a suit, calmly confronting Keyon. The atmosphere at the scene became more and more shocking. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . ¡°Why are you here?¡± As soon as Alexa finished speaking, Damarion broke free from her embrace and impatiently ran towards Terrence. But Keyon pressed down his fork with a light sound and hugged Damarion with a dark face. ¡°Don¡¯t go over.¡± His serious and cold tone not only scared Damarion, but even Alexa was a bit shocked. ¡°I haven¡¯te back in a few days, and the security guard is already weak like this? Can everybody come in?¡± Giselle said gently, ¡°Keyon, don¡¯t be angry. Is this Mr. Ramsey? He must have something important to deal with when he came to find Alexa.¡± ¡°Mr. Duran, how have you been?¡± Terrence greeted him calmly. His innate powerful aura made people impossible to ignore his existence. ¡°Terrence, you still dare toe, very good¡­¡± ¡°Keyon,¡± Alexa helplessly said, with a trace of imperceptible pleading in her tone. ¡°Don¡¯t quarrel in front of the child. If there is anything, I will go out and talk to him.¡± Although Keyon was angry now, he still did not continue to say anything after hearing Alexa. Damarion cried in his arms in a low voice and felt wronged. Keyon also felt a little guilty. Terrence stood not far away and watched this scene. His knuckles were white and his heart had long been filled with killing intent. But Alexa timely stepped forward to block in front of him. ¡°Let¡¯s go out and talk.¡± ¡°You and Damar, I want to take you both.¡± ¡°What?¡± Alexa and Keyon spoke in unison, and the atmosphere suddenly became strange. If Damarion was not still in his arms, Keyon would have already started fighting with Terrence. ¡°Terrence, can you say it again?¡± ¡°Keyon, it seems that you haven¡¯t heard it clearly?¡± Terrence repeated it patiently, ¡°I want to take Alexa and Damar away.¡± ¡°Terrence, what is it?¡± Alexa asked in a low voice. Giselle sat calmly on the side, looking like she was watching a y. ¡°About what you are interested in.¡± Terrence said it very vaguely, but Alexa instantly understood what he meant. ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡± ¡°Take Damar with you. Let¡¯s go together.¡± ¡°Terrence, it¡¯s impossible!¡± Keyon gritted his teeth and refused. Keyon did not control his emotions, and Damarion was immediately scared to tears by him. Alexa was anxious to maintain stability on both sides, but the scene was like a barrel of gunpowder that had suddenly been ignited, gradually bing out of control. ¡°Keyon, let them go. After all, they are a family,¡± Giselle said considerately. ¡°Giselle, shut up! What does our family matter have to do with an outsider like you?¡± Alexa roared. The originally tense atmosphere suddenly paused for a moment. Keyon¡¯s face was tense, and he was currently in a fit of anger. ¡°Alexa, Terrence is also an outsider.¡± Alexa suddenly paused. Keyon made her feel a little strange. Damarion was still choking with sobs just now, but suddenly his voice faded. ¡°Damar¡­ Damar!¡± Alexa instantly panicked. Chapter 289 Chapter 289 Chapter 289 Keyon Is Partial ¡°Why are you waiting?¡± After that, Terrence immediately stepped forward to hold Damarion from Keyon¡¯s arms. Damarion was burning hot all over, and his face was smeared with tears. He looked very pitiful. ¡°Mom¡­ Dad¡­¡± Hearing Damarion¡¯s hoarse voice, Alexa was very tortured. She was distressed to hear that. Keyon was stunned for a long time. When he recovered from the shock, Terrence and Alexa sent Damarion to the hospital. Giselle stepped forward to hold Keyon, and she wore a sly smile. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . ¡°Keyon, they are gone.¡± ¡°I know,¡± Keyon replied angrily. ¡°We¡­¡± Giselle wanted to make a show and asked Keyon to follow them to take a look. But Keyon suddenly nced at Giselle fiercely. Giselle was shocked and bit back the words. Keyon did not say more and turned to go upstairs with a gloomy face. Ten minutester, Terrence rushed into the hospital with Damarion in his arms. The most powerful experts in the department were all waiting, and it was tense. Damarion was tired from crying, and he sobbed in Terrence¡¯s arms from time to time. Terrence felt distressed and frowned. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Damarion has a very high fever.¡± The doctor said nervously, ¡°Let¡¯s see how it goes after he has IVs.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Terrence did not hesitate at all and carried Damarion to the ward. Alexa followed behind them, her eyes red. ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Terrence looked at herfortingly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m here.¡± Alexa was not only worried about Damarion but also thinking about Keyon. Those things were crushing her and almost overwhelmed her. The nurse soon brought the drip and needle. At the sight of the long needle, Terrence became more serious. ¡°Be gentle.¡± Terrence said, ¡°Don¡¯t make any mistakes.¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, I understand.¡± The nurse was skillful, and Terrence silently hugged Damarion even tighter, looking more nervous than Alexa. ¡°Damarion, don¡¯t be afraid. Daddy and mommy will be with you.¡± Although Terrence tried his best to remain calm, Alexa could still feel he was nervous. Her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and Alexa was at sixes and sevens. It was the first time for Terrence to be a father¡­ When his skin was stuck by the needle, Damarion subconsciously trembled, but he was already unconscious and did not cry. Terrence lowered his head and fixed his eyes on Damarion. Alexa did not know what Terrence was thinking. ¡°It¡¯ste. Just go to sleep.¡± Terrence forced a smile. ¡°I¡¯ll stay here.¡± Alexa knew that Terrence wanted her not to worry, but she felt even more guilty. ¡°It was my fault just now. I shouldn¡¯t have¡­¡± ¡°It was my fault.¡± Terrence immediately interrupted, ¡°If I knew that Keyon was also here, I would not havee to you.¡± ¡°Keyon just returned home today,¡± Alexa said calmly, ¡°He¡¯s been abroad these days.¡± They didn¡¯t know what to talk about. Alexa sat absent-mindedly for a while. Then a few notifications suddenly came from the phone. Keyon sent some messages. Keyon: ¡°In the hospital?¡± Keyon: ¡°I¡¯ll be right there.¡± Alexa stared at the screen for a long time and did not know what to reply. She was unhappy not because of the confrontation between Keyon and Terrence, but because Keyon was staying on Giselle¡¯s side. Alexa noticed that Keyon was partial. ¡°Who is she?¡± Alexa unwillingly muttered. Terrence was puzzled. ¡°What?¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Although Alexa did not exin it, Terrence knew what had happened. Terrence knew that Alexa and Keyon were growing apart. ¡°Is there something bothering you?¡± Terrence asked gently, ¡°If possible, I hope that I can help you.¡± With Damarion in his arms, Terrence looked patient and considerate, and Alexa felt very guilty. Alexa thought she was making a mess. ¡°It¡¯s really fine. Don¡¯t worry.¡± After that, Alexa walked out of the ward and received a call. Not long after she left, Edwin quietly entered the ward. ¡°Mr. Ramsey.¡± Terrence was cold and serious, not as gentle as just now. ¡°Send someone to protect her in secret. Report to me immediately if anything happens.¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, what about Giselle?¡± ¡°Send someone to keep an eye on her. She¡¯s not allowed to get close to Mrs. Ramsey and Damarion.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Terrence patted Damarion on the back and focused all his attention on his son. But Terrence¡¯s tone was even colder. ¡°I don¡¯t want to see it happen again.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Edwin paused for a moment. After hesitation, he still spoke his mind. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, it¡¯s not just Kieran. There are some other men beside Mrs. Ramsey. Is it¡­¡± ¡°She said that she only treated them as friends.¡± Terrence did not even raise his head, but his face turned gloomier. ¡°ording to the source, the Riley family wants to connect the Duran family by marriage.¡± ¡°So what?¡± Terrence replied calmly. He suddenly forced a sly smile. ¡°She said that she didn¡¯t have a thing for Conley. I¡¯m not worried.¡± Edwin thought, but it doesn¡¯t mean that Conley doesn¡¯t have a thing for Mrs. Ramsey¡­ Edwin didn¡¯t dare to say this directly, but he was sure that Terrence must have thought of this. ¡°Let the investment department handle this.¡± Terrence said casually, ¡°If he still doesn¡¯t know what¡¯s good for him, just teach him a lesson.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°By the way, let Davide over.¡± After that, Terrence pressed his fingers to his temples. Edwin wanted to leave, but he did not expect Alexa toe back at this time. ¡°Hello, Mrs. Ramsey.¡± ¡°Hi, Edwin. Is there something about thepany?¡± ¡°No.¡± Terrence took the first to answer. Edwin quietly nced at Terrence and was shocked by his expression. Terrence wasn¡¯t as overbearing as just now. Instead, he looked very gentle as a good father. ¡°Oh¡­ OK.¡± Alexa nodded in confusion. Terrence smiled and changed the topic. ¡°Well, did you solve your problem?¡± ¡°Keyon came to the hospital.¡± Alexa looked unhappy. ¡°I have something to talk to him about.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Alexa refused almost without hesitation. ¡°I can solve it myself.¡± Five minutester, Alexa met Keyon in the caf¨¦ opposite the hospital. Keyon seemed to have be a lot more haggard. Keyon pulled his cor in frustration. He asked agitatedly, ¡°Is Damarion alright?¡± ¡°He¡¯s fine. He¡¯s on a drip.¡± ¡°OK..¡± Chapter 290 Chapter 290 Chapter 290 Develop Intimacy After Getting Married Keyon nodded thoughtfully, stirring the sugar cubes in his coffee cup casually. ¡°Keyon, what are you thinking?¡± Alexa asked directly. But Keyon kept silent for a long time. ¡°I just can¡¯t forgive Terrence.¡± ¡°You know I¡¯m not talking about him.¡± Alexa asked persistently, ¡°What happened between you and Giselle? How did you get involved with the Niebergall family?¡± The Niebergall family was not an ordinary rich family. It did regr business, but it was also rted to gangs. This was also why many families dared not provoke them. The Duran Group was having a transition of power. The elders in the family had beenining about Alexa and Keyon. Now that Keyon suddenly got involved in Giselle¡¯s matters, if people found something and made a fuss, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble. ¡°Alexa, do you trust me?¡± The atmosphere was a little tense. Alexa looked into Keyon¡¯s eyes. For the first time, she found that she couldn¡¯t see through him. ¡°Keyon, why don¡¯t you tell me?¡± ¡°This matter is very risky. I don¡¯t want to implicate you.¡± Keyon¡¯s tone was firm. ¡°Just leave everything to me.¡± ¡°Although the Duran family needs to transform, it doesn¡¯t need you to do this.¡± ¡°Everything is for the family. Alexa, as the eldest son, I must make the necessary sacrifices.¡± After a long time, Alexa sighed resignedly. ¡°Then what do you n to do?¡± Keyon replied, ¡°I¡¯ll get married for business.¡± In fact, Alexa already expected this answer. But when Keyon personally said it, she still found it somewhat difficult to ept. ¡°Alexa, for people like us, marriage is not just about love.¡± Alexa looked at him. ¡°But if there is not even love¡­¡± Keyon avoided her gaze uneasily. ¡°Intimacy can be cultivated, just like you and Kieran.¡± Keyon brought up this topic again, but somehow, Alexa didn¡¯t want to talk about it. ¡°In fact, he likes someone else. And¡­¡± Keyon said, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Hearing Keyon¡¯s quick reply, Alexa was instantly stunned. ¡°What?¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter,¡± Keyon repeated. ¡°No matter who she is, she can¡¯tpare to you, Ms. Duran.¡± Alexa nodded stiffly. She didn¡¯t know how she left the caf¨¦ in the end. By the time Alexa came back to her senses, she was already back in the ward. Damarion was lying alone on the bed. His breathing had gradually be steady. And it seemed that he was having a sound sleep. Someone showed up beside Alexa. She smelt the scent of wood. Then a warm nket was ced on her. ¡°It¡¯ste at night. It¡¯s very cold outside, isn¡¯t it?¡± As Terrence spoke, he held Alexa¡¯s hands. ¡°Your hands are indeed very cold. I have asked the chef to prepare the vegetable soup. Have some before sleeping?¡± After saying that, Terrence filled a bowl with soup and then handed it to Alexa. ¡°I¡¯m fine. Thank you.¡± Alexa shook her head wearily. ¡°I have no appetite. I don¡¯t want to drink it.¡± Terrence said, ¡°You haven¡¯t eaten much today.¡± He lowered his voice, scooped a small spoonful of soup, and put it beside her mouth. ¡°Come on. Open your mouth.¡± Alexa reluctantly took a small sip. The soup was indeed very delicious. Terrence fed her half a bowl, and Alexa suddenly remembered something. ¡°You didn¡¯t eat much today either, did you?¡± As Alexa remembered, Terrence had been busy today. ¡°I am not hungry.¡± Terrence chuckled. ¡°When you are full, I will eat what you have left.¡± Alexa said, ¡°Sorry. I have troubled you again.¡± ¡°You are not troublesome.¡± C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. Alexa said, ¡°The rtionships between the family members are very chaotic, so we need some time to deal with it.¡± ¡°OK. I understand.¡± Every famous family had a secret. The Ramsey family had one, and so did the Duran family. ¡°If you feel tired, let me deal with it.¡± It sounded casual, but Terrence meant it. He could spare no effort to solve all her troubles as long as Alexa let him help. While the two were talking, Alexa¡¯s phone on the table suddenly lit up. Terrence saw the message sent by Keyon clearly. Keyon: ¡°Dr. Powell is a very good person. Don¡¯t let him down.¡± The few words were dazzling. Alexa didn¡¯t reply to it, but Terrence couldn¡¯t pretend not to care. ¡°You haven¡¯t given up on Kieran?¡± Alexa replied, ¡°It¡¯s not like what you think.¡± Alexa wanted to exin, but she didn¡¯t know where to start. ¡°I understand.¡± Terrence chuckled. ¡°I don¡¯t want to force you. I¡¯ll listen to you when you want to tell me.¡± After that, Terrence returned to Damarion¡¯s bedside. The bowl of hot soup just now was very delicious, but Alexa felt bitter in her heart. Not long after that, she got news from thepany again. Alexa immediately changed her clothes and prepared to go out. ¡°I have something to deal with at thepany. I¡¯m leaving now.¡± Terrence said, ¡°It¡¯s already sote. Are you sure you need to go now?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Alexa said hurriedly. ¡°Yareli wille to take care of Damarion.¡± Before Terrence could reply, Alexa got out of the ward. He looked sideways at Damarion, who was sleeping soundly. Terrence sighed silently. The night was very long. The meeting didn¡¯t end until the next morning. Then Alexa returned to the hotel. She was in the UK, a country on the other side of the ocean. It was the most beautiful country in the world, but Alexa had no interest in enjoying the sight. She just wanted to finish her work quickly and return to Damarion¡¯s side. Just as Alexa was thinking, she got a message from Yareli. ¡°Ms. Duran, Mr. Ramsey¡¯s fever is gone. The doctor said that he is fine. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Alexa smiled happily. The exhaustion was swept away. And she stopped frowning. ¡°OK. Thank you, Yareli.¡± ¡°Actually, we didn¡¯t do much. Mr. Ramsey did everything. He didn¡¯t sleep at allst night.¡± Terrence? Alexa was a little absent-minded. Just as she was about to reply, the doorbell of her room rang. ¡°Who is it?¡± ¡°It¡¯s me, Rory Wingerson.¡± Hearing this familiar name, Alexa immediately came back to her senses. She immediately opened the door. A young man was outside. Rory was dressed in very stylish light tan clothes. There was a warm smile on his face with sharp facial features. And he was holding a delicate gift box in his hand. ¡°Surprise!¡± ¡°Rory!¡± Alexa asked in surprise, ¡°Why are you here? Are you working here?¡± ¡°Yes. There are a few shows here recently. I heard that you came to the UK, so I rushed over,¡± Rory chattered. ¡°How could you not contact me after you came to the UK?¡± Alexa replied, ¡°It¡¯s a business trip. I have just finished my work.¡± ¡°Fine. I was just joking.¡± As Rory spoke, he stuffed the gift in her hands. ¡°Are you free now? A few old ssmates are also here. Shall we have a meal together?¡± Alexa happened to be free at the moment. And she wanted to get some fresh air, so she agreed. ¡°Take my car. There will be the first snow tonight. We must not miss it.¡± Alexa followed Rory into the car, but as soon as she sat in the passenger seat, she received a message from Terrence. Terrence: ¡°Why didn¡¯t you answer the phone? You didn¡¯t reply on Line either.¡± Chapter 291 Chapter 291 Chapter 291 The First Snow Alexa¡¯s pupils shrank and she felt guilty for some reason. Rory noticed her strangeness and asked curiously. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Nothing, it¡¯s fine.¡± Alexa shook her head stiffly and deleted a line of text in the dialog box. If Terrence knew that she was now with another man, he would definitely fly to the UK immediately. That scene¡­ Just thinking about it sent a chill down her spine. After deliberating for a long time, Alexa decided to send a message. ¡°I¡¯m busy.¡± At this time, Terrence was holding a milk bottle to feed Damarion. Seeing these words, he even imagined a great show that he had been abandoned. Edwin stood in front of him without a word, not even daring to breathe heavily. If not for Terrence breaking the pen just now, he would believe that Terrence was not angry! ¡°Go and check,¡± Terrence ordered with a cold face. ¡°Give me all the information about that man immediately.¡± ¡°Yes, Mr. Ramsey.¡± Damarion sensed that the atmosphere was not right and looked up curiously at Terrence. The man who was still jealous just now had a gentle smile on his face. ¡°It¡¯s fine, Damar. Continue eating.¡± ¡°Dad, where¡¯s mom?¡± ¡°Mom? Mom is busy,¡± Terrence said softly. The smile in Terrence¡¯s eyes faded, and the light in his eyes gradually cooled down. At this time, Alexa had already arrived at a hotel with Rory. When they learned that they were going to have a meal tonight, all their friends from back then rushed over. When Alexa and Rory arrived at the private room, everyone eximed in unison. ¡°We are all here.¡± Everyone sat down one after another and casually chatted happily. ¡°By the way, what are your ns foring to the UK, Alexa?¡± The person who said this was Talia Henson, and now she was an internationally renowned photographer. ¡°Vision Group participated in the winter show this time. I came here to check it out.¡± ¡°So you are the legendary Ms. Duran of Vision Group. It only took two months for Vision Group to secure its position as the world¡¯s number-one luxury brand. That¡¯s amazing,¡± Renee Escobar said enviously. Rory was full of interest as he shared the information, ¡°Oh right! Niebergall Fashion will join in this show, and their boss Morgan Hardy wille here too. Many brands want to cooperate with them. What about you, Alexa?¡± Although Niebergall Fashion was a rising star, its status couldn¡¯t be underestimated. It was a brand of the Niebergall Group, so its financial resources and connections were extremely rich. Many people tried their best to cooperate with Niebergall Fashion, but they did not reach their standard. Alexa pondered for a moment and said rationally. ¡°Vision Group¡¯s Marketing Department will analyze it reasonably. If it is possible, I will try my best to fight for it.¡± ¡°Morgan will arrive in the UK tomorrow night. The otherpanies should not know about this news.¡± ¡°Rory, where did you get so much information?¡± Alissa Burch asked in surprise. ¡°I¡¯ve been a model for so many years. Of course, I have some connections.¡± ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . After that, he smiled mysteriously at Alexa. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. The news is absolutely reliable.¡± Everyone continued to tease each other, and they werepletely excited. Finally, it was Alexa and the waiter who helped them into the car one by one. The phone in the bag rang again. Alexa slightly lowered her eyes and did not answer. Rory, who was supported by her, stopped and leaned to the side in a gentlemanly manner. ¡°Take it. I¡¯m fine. I¡¯m not drunk¡­¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he staggered. If he hadn¡¯t grabbed the railing in front of him, this supermodel would have definitely fallen to the ground. ¡°Be careful. I¡¯ll take you to the car first.¡± ¡°No, no need. I¡¯m really not drunk.¡± Rory waved his hand. ¡°Alright. You¡¯re not drunk.¡± Alexa nodded her head and helped Rory into the car. After watching his car leave, Alexa took out her phone from her bag. The call was from Terrence, and she was just about to call back when she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of her eye. Impossible, this must be an illusion. How can Terrence be here? Alexa suspected that she was drunk, but when Terrence came over and grabbed her hand with a sullen expression, Alexa was very clear that this was reality! ¡°You¡­ Why are you here?¡± She murmured, looking like she had a guilty conscience. But that wasn¡¯t right. Why did she have a guilty conscience? Before Alexa could figure out this question clearly, Terrence was even more displeased as he leaned closer. He narrowed his eyes. His aura was very dangerous. ¡°Why can¡¯t Ie?¡± ¡°Ah¡­ I¡¯m just surprised.¡± ¡°Who was that man just now?¡± ¡°You mean Rory? That¡¯s a friend of mine.¡± ¡°Male friend?¡± ¡°Yes¡­ Yes.¡± Alexa nodded innocently, not understanding why Terrence would emphasize this again. ¡°Isn¡¯t it normal to have a few friends of the opposite sex?¡± ¡°A few!¡± Terrence couldn¡¯t help but raise his voice, his face full of disbelief. ¡°Who are the others?¡± ¡°I mean friends of the opposite sex. Don¡¯t you have friends of the opposite sex?¡± Alexa exined patiently. ¡°No.¡± ¡°Eh?¡± ¡°And I don¡¯t think there will be pure friendship between men and women.¡± Alexa frowned and retorted, ¡°How can you say that? Rory and I are really good friends. We have known each other for eight years. He is really good.¡± Alexa¡¯s every word was stimting Terrence. Terrence¡¯s face was getting colder and colder, but Alexa did not notice it at all. She had only drunk a few sses of sweet fruit wine just now. Why did she feel dizzy now? The person behind him was so quiet that Terrence was a little worried and turned back to look. ¡°What did you eat just now? Why is your face so red?¡± ¡°Ah? Is it very red?¡± Looking at Alexa¡¯s confused expression, Terrence suddenly did not know what to say. ¡°You drank?¡± ¡°It¡¯s just a little fruit wine. It should be¡­¡± Alexa¡¯s voice had not yet fallen when something cool spread to the tip of her nose. She looked up in surprise. Under the warm yellow streetmp, there were snowkes. ¡°This is the first snow this year¡­ The first snow here came a littlete.¡± After saying this, Alexa pulled Terrence¡¯s sleeve with a face full of expectation. ¡°Terrence, it¡¯s snowing.¡± ¡°Got it.¡± Although he still wanted to seriously talk about what had just happened, Terrence could not help but show a gentle smile on his face. ¡°It is very beautiful.¡± Seeing that Alexa was as happy as a child, Terrence stopped and carefully adjusted the scarf on her neck. ¡°It is not the first time we have seen snow. Why are you so happy?¡± ¡°The first three years are not counted.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Hearing her firm words, Terrence did not react for a while. Alexa was clearly a little tipsy at the moment, but the light in her eyes looked so clear. ¡°The past can¡¯t be changed, but we can do better in the future,¡± she said softly. ¡°The snow you watched with others is not considered my romance.¡± Terrence was stunned. Chapter 292 Chapter 292 Chapter 292 Winter Is Gone for Good His hand was still on Alexa¡¯s scarf, and his heart was beating faster and faster. ¡°Alexa, you¡­¡± Alexa was speechless and cracked a brilliant smile. ¡°Actually, I really like to enjoy the snow, but at that time, I was in bad health, and my brother was not by my side either. It was Brynlee who was by your side¡­¡± Alexa said with a simple smile. It was clearly a knife stabbing into her heart, but she seemed to not feel pain. ¡°Every night was cold, and winter was so hard to bear. I often wondered what the result would be if my brother didn¡¯te¡­¡± Alexa had not finished speaking when she was suddenly pulled into Terrence¡¯s arms. He hugged her tightly, not knowing whether it was because of the cold wind, but his eyes were a little red and moist. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Alexa. I¡¯m sorry.¡± Terrence stressed these words. But no matter what he said, he could not share the slightest bit of pain she had endured. ¡°I think I¡¯m really drunk.¡± Alexa pinched the part between her eyebrows tiredly. The blush on her face was much deeper. ¡°Don¡¯t take what I just said to heart. It¡¯s nothing.¡± Alexa left his embrace and continued to walk forward. But Terrence pulled her back, lowering his head to kiss her rosy lips. This kiss came too suddenly, and Alexa widened her eyes in shock and endured his kiss. She did not respond, but Terrence was willing to endure it. This city was called the ¡°Romantic Capital¡±. Alexa thought to herself, I finally understood why. The snow gradually became heavy, and the two finally returned to the hotel. Alexa wanted Terrence to rest early, but as soon as he entered the room, he went to the kitchen to cook some soup for her to sober up. ¡°Go take a shower. Do you still feel dizzy? Remember to raise the temperature of the water a little higher.¡± Terrence cautioned carefully. Alexa nodded and teased. ¡°Why are you more like a housekeeper than Brady?¡± ¡°I will only be your personal housekeeper 24 hours a day.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t buy it.¡± After Alexa went to the kitchen, the phone on the table beeped. It was a message from Rory. Rory, ¡°Alexa, are you in the hotel? Do you need some medicine to alleviate your hangover?¡± He doesn¡¯t have good intentions, wondered Terrence. Terrence unlocked the fingerprint lock with ease and tried his best to suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart. ¡°No need.¡± ¡°Mr. Wingerson, you should take more yourself. I think you are drunk.¡± ¡°You are not Alexa. Who are you?¡± Terrence was toozy to type and directly sent a voice message. ¡°I am her legitimate husband, Terrence. I was the one who took her back to the hotel just now. Is there a problem, Mr. Wingerson?¡± ¡°As her good friend, I am just worried that she will be hurt by someone with bad intentions.¡± ¡°Your worries are unnecessary. With me here, no one will harm her.¡± ¡°However, Alexa is actually married. This is very surprising. Is it a business marriage?¡± ¡°We are very happy.¡± ¡°Well, it¡¯s just that she never mentioned you in front of us. I am very surprised.¡± ¡°No matter how good a friend is, they are not rtives, right?¡± A long time after the message was sent, there was no reply. Terrence put on a victorious posture and silently deleted the chat record as if nothing had happened. At this time, Alexa came out of the bathroom. ¡°The soup is ready. Drink it while it¡¯s hot.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Alexa scooped up a spoonful of soup and tasted it. The warm and sweet taste conveyed warmth and happiness. Terrence subconsciously picked up the hair dryer and helped her dry her hair. He was skillful and gentle as if he was taking care of a piece of art. ¡°I remembered someone saying that a careful and gentle man is very suitable for raising a daughter.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly froze. Alexa realizedter that she had just said something stupid, but there was no chance to regret it. Her cheeks were a little hot as if they were burning again. Alexa tentatively tilted her head and was greeted by Terrence¡¯s ambiguous half-smile. Alexa cleared her throat and stiffly looked away. ¡°Why are you looking at me? I just heard that¡­¡± ¡°Careful and gentle? Don¡¯t worry, darling. I will definitely take this as a standard and strictly perform it.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s what I meant.¡± Terrence gently curved his lips and revealed a pure smile. When Alexa came back to her senses, the waistband on her dressing gown had already loosened up. Terrence easily picked her up and walked to the bedroom. There was only a dim nightmp in the room. There was the smell of roses in the air. Alexa was thrown onto the soft big bed and raised her hand to cover her blushing face. ¡°Don¡¯t push me away.¡± Terrence kissed the side of her neck and whispered. Alexa slowly and nervously closed her eyes, and his stiff body gradually rxed. This time, she did not refuse. It was not until noon the next day that Alexa woke up in a daze. The messages on her phone had umted a lot, and the progress of the show was more important. Alexa immediately got up from the bed and rubbed pinched the part between her eyebrows to force herself to be clear-headed. A strong arm was still around her waist. Alexa turned around, and Terrence was still asleep. Alexa subconsciously lightened her movement, but Terrence quietly opened his eyes and easily brought her back into his arms. ¡°What are you in a hurry for?¡± His voice was low and sexy. ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt anymore, right?¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Alexa whispered fiercely, ¡°Don¡¯t ask this question!¡± ¡°Okay, I won¡¯t.¡± Terrence chuckled, and his warm palm wandered around her waist. The aching part was suddenly pressed down. Alexa gasped in pain and immediately avoided his touch. ¡°It hurts!¡± She pulled the quilt and wrapped herself tightly, her vignt eyes locked on Terrence.He was like a satisfied cat,zily raising his eyes as if he was plotting his next hunt. ¡°I asked my assistant to send over the ointment.¡± Alexa instantly felt shameful, not even daring to look at him. But Terrence was the culprit, causing her to miss out on so much important work and ache all over. The more Alexa thought about it, the angrier she became. She raised her hand and punched him in the chest. ¡°It¡¯s all your fault!¡± She mumbled, ¡°I ¡­ I already said that you should¡­ restrain yourself.¡± ¡°What? I didn¡¯t hear you clearly.¡± Terrence took the opportunity to hold her hand and bring her into his arms. Alexa dodged in fear, but he circled her even tighter. ¡°You were the one who provoked me first. Why are you hiding?¡± ¡°Terrence, stop messing around. I still have work to do.¡± He calmly checked the time and said with ease. ¡°There are still three hours before the final rehearsal of the show. That¡¯s enough.¡± Alexa was stunned. In the end, she was tortured to the point that she had no strength left Chapter 293 Chapter 293 Chapter 293 He Really Intends to Marry Her After it was over, Terrence carried Alexa to the bathroom. When she came out, he had put on a well-tailored ck, custom- made suit. Terrence had a refined and noble appearance, but he was like a beast when in bed! Alexa nced at Terrence curiously. To her surprise, he noticed it. ¡°Darling, are you looking at me?¡± Terrence raised his eyebrows slightly and narrowed his eyes. ¡°I think it¡¯s inconvenient for you to change clothes. Right? Let me help you.¡± Enter title¡­ ¡°Don¡¯te over!¡± Alexa said firmly, ¡°I can do it myself.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be stubborn. I¡¯m at your service.¡± Hearing that, Alexa neglected the pain in her body and immediately took the dress to the bathroom. When she came out, the professional makeup artists were already waiting in the dressing area. When they arrived at the venue of the show, it was already around eight o¡¯clock. Alexa had her hand over Terrence¡¯s arm and walked straight to the main hall. ¡°What are you rushing for? No one is racing with you.¡± Terrence looked puzzled. This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. He thought, what exactly is Alexa thinking about all day long? Terrence frowned. Somehow, he felt jealous. ¡°We should hurry up. The show is about to start.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine,¡± Terrence said calmly. ¡°The show will not start before we arrive and take our seats.¡± Alexa was speechless. They entered the main hall with great difficulty, and a tall person suddenly appeared in front of Alexa. Rory hadn¡¯t changed his clothes. It seemed that he was waiting for Alexa. As Terrence saw Rory, a touch of hostility was added to his cold vibe. ¡°Dear, you finally showed up. I¡¯ve been waiting anxiously for you!¡± Terrence thought, dear? When he heard that, his face instantly sank. ¡°I think I need to introduce myself,¡± Terrence gritted his teeth and said. He squeezed out a fake smile and said, ¡°I am Alexa¡¯s husband, Terrence Ramsey.¡± He deliberately emphasized the word ¡°husband¡±, but Rory did not pay attention to it at all. ¡°Oh. Hello. I am Rory, Alexa¡¯s friend.¡± If they continued to chat, this ce might be a battlefield. ¡°The show is about to start. Go backstage, and change your clothes,¡± Alexa urged. ¡°We will take our seats now.¡± ¡°OK.¡± Before leaving, Rory deliberately kept them in suspense. ¡°I have got that thing done. Someone will contact youter.¡± Alexa replied, ¡°OK. Thank you.¡± Terrence held Alexa¡¯s hand and quickly walked to the VIP seats as soon as Rory turned around. ¡°Why did he call you Dear?¡± Terrence asked in a muffled voice without looking back. ¡°Rory is an open-minded person. He doesn¡¯t care about trivial rules.¡± Alexa exined in embarrassment, ¡°Don¡¯t mind it.¡± ¡°How could I not mind it?¡± Terrence was still very angry. ¡°It made me ufortable. How did you call him in private?¡± ¡°I just call him by his name.¡± Terrence snorted proudly. Obviously, he was not very satisfied with this answer. He thought, I knew that she often interacted with this man in private. Otherwise, Rory would not have said ¡°I have got that thing done.¡± ¡°What is that thing?¡± ¡°Business negotiations.¡± ¡°You could spend time discussing business with others. Then why can¡¯t you discuss it with me?¡± Alexa thought, he seems to have strange triggers for jealousy. Alexa silentlyined. She continued to exin, ¡°Because the development directions of ourpanies are different.¡± ¡°I can make it develop in whatever direction you want now.¡± Alexa did not answer and pulled Terrence to his seat. Apanied by the passionate performance of the band, the curtain of the show rose. But Terrence¡¯s attention was not on the models dressed in gorgeous clothes. His eyes never moved away from Alexa. Finally, she couldn¡¯t help it anymore. ¡°Why are you looking at me? I¡¯m not a model.¡± Terrence said, ¡°You are my unique Muse.¡± ¡°What exactly do you want to say¡­¡± ¡°Business negotiations. I want to go with you.¡± Terrence sounded jealous again. ¡°I want to see who is so charming.¡± Alexa had no choice but to agree. After the show ended, someone did contact them. ¡°Excuse me. Are you Ms. Duran?¡± A waiter asked respectfully. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Our president wants to see you. Pleasee with me.¡± After saying that, the waiter looked at the man beside Alexa. ¡°This gentleman is?¡± Terrence was about to tell his identity. But Alexa said naturally, ¡°He¡¯s my husband.¡± There were absolutely no better words than these in the world. Terrence curled his lips and nced at the waiter with a hint of pride in his eyes. A few minutester, they followed the waiter into a gorgeous private room. In the central seat was a young and elegant gentleman with long brown slightly curly hair, carrying a touch of unruliness and nobility. ¡°You two are here.¡± His deep and mellow voice seemed to be a natural charm. ¡°Sit down.¡± Alexa noticed his faint smile. She could not help but be alert. Terrence, however, was very calm. Since he entered and sat down, he hadn¡¯t said a word. The expression on his face was not clear. Alexa did not know what he was thinking. ¡°I don¡¯t know your tastes. Please help yourselves.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Terrence said faintly, ¡°If there is anything, just say it, Mr. Niebergall.¡± ¡°Sure enough. Nothing can be hidden from Mr. Ramsey.¡± Irvin Niebergall narrowed his eyes, and the smile on his face deepened. ¡°My younger sister, Giselle, went to New York recently. I heard that she caused some trouble for Ms. Duran?¡± ¡°Actually, it¡¯s not trouble.¡± Alexa inly said, ¡°I am not a petty person. I didn¡¯t me Ms. Niebergall.¡± In spite of what she said, Alexa¡¯s tone was full of displeasure. ¡°Unfortunately, it did bother me.¡± Terrence sneered and continued, ¡°Ms. Niebergall¡¯s words and deeds offended my wife, which also caused me to be very unhappy.¡± ¡°Yes. I know.¡± Irvin nodded politely. ¡°So tonight, I specially came to apologize to you two.¡± After saying that, Irvin winked at his assistant beside him. A momentter, they presented a heavy safe box. ¡°You should need the things in it.¡± After opening several locks, they finally lifted the lid. What was inside was not cash, but a yellowed and old file. ¡°This is the full record of Derick¡¯s case. It¡¯s the only one in the world.¡± Alexa put on gloves and looked at the record carefully for a long time. It was indeed real. Terrence met her gaze and looked at Irvin calmly. ¡°Quote a price.¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey.¡± Irvin smiled. ¡°You should know that money doesn¡¯t mean much to me.¡± Terrence said, ¡°Tell me whatever you want.¡± ¡°My sister will be staying in New York for a while. As her brother, I hope that she will be happy. That¡¯s all.¡± The implication was already very clear. Giselle would move into the Duran¡¯s house. Alexa thought, it seems that Keyon really intends to marry her. There was a trace of coldness in Alexa¡¯s eyes, but she did not object in the end. Chapter 294 Chapter 294 Chapter 294 She Volunteers to Quit Her Job After leaving the hotel, Alexa immediately got someone to change her flight reservation. Terrence¡¯s expression did not change, and he asked patiently. ¡°Why are you going to leave tonight?¡± She walked forward with a cold face, her vibe so strong that she looked unapproachable. ¡°I don¡¯t like this ce.¡± Terrence was not in a hurry and looked at her face curiously. ¡°Are you angry?¡± Alexa did not reply. ¡°Are you really angry?¡± Terrence leaned closer. ¡°Your expression is colder than the winter here, but it¡¯s still so good-looking.¡± ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Alexa was speechless and stared at him helplessly. ¡°You only know how to tease me.¡± ¡°You smiled.¡± Terrence also smiled. ¡°You look so good when you smile.¡± ¡°Are you going back? I have to go.¡± ¡°Of course, I have to go back. As an excellent protector, of course, I will be wherever you are,¡± Terrence said. ¡°What if I die one day?¡± Alexa was joking, but it wasn¡¯t a pure joke. However, Terrence instantly became serious. ¡°Don¡¯t say such stupid words. You won¡¯t die. I will always grab your hand.¡± ¡°Always?¡± Alexa repeated this word in a daze and suddenlyughed it off. ¡°Not bad.¡± Terrence did not hear clearly what Alexa was saying, but he kept holding her hand tightly. The two returned to New York overnight. Early in the morning the next day, Terrence rushed to thepany. Edwin held arge pile of documents and followed behind him to report the ident. Obviously, such a thing rarely happened. ¡°The Niebergall Group suddenly pulled strings and came topete with Hudson Group for this new batch of chips. As of now, the market value of Hudson Group has evaporated more than 300 billion dors.¡± When the executives heard this news, they were immediately scared to the point that their faces turned pale. This was the first time that such a major ident had happened since Terrence took over Hudson Group as its president. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, do we need to consult the board of directors?¡± ¡°No need,¡± Terrence said coldly. ¡°Bid against them. We must win this batch of chips.¡± ¡°But Mr. Ramsey, the Niebergall Group invests 100 times more than us. They even said that they wanted to secure the lifelong sole agency.¡± ¡°100 times? You¡¯re scared to such an extent by that!¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey¡­¡± ¡°300 times, if they are unwilling to hand the lifelong sole agency to Hudson Group¡­¡± Terrence paused, and Edwin had already guessed what he was going to do. ¡°Then I¡¯ll acquire it directly.¡± This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Obviously, for a businessman with a well-thought-out n, it was not a wise choice topete and end up failing in the business world. But it could be seen that what Terrence cared about was not the lifelong sole agency, but fighting with the Niebergall Group to the end. After arranging everything, Terrence and Edwin returned to the office. Terrence sat in the chair with a gloomy face and threw the financial statements in his hand into the trash can. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Irvin is obviously provoking us¡­¡± ¡°He didn¡¯t attack Vision Group, did he?¡± ¡°Not yet.¡± ¡°Since he wants to y, then I will keep himpany to the end.¡± Terrence just thumbed his nose at Irvin. ¡°As long as he doesn¡¯t attack Vision Group, I can make him lose less badly.¡± Irvin wanted to deal him a head-on blow at the first encounter, but he would end up destroying himself. At this time, Giselle had already been at the president¡¯s office of Vision Group. ¡°Ms. Duran seems really busy.¡± Giselle nced at her coldly and sat down on the sofa arrogantly. ¡°Your future sister-inwes to see you, but you don¡¯t even serve her a cup of coffee!¡± Hearing this, Linda, who was beside Alexa, immediately went forward to make her a cup of coffee. ¡°Ms. Niebergall, I am sorry. Please enjoy the coffee.¡± ¡°Who do you think you are? I am talking to her.¡± Giselle roared in a low voice. She picked up the cup and smashed it at Linda¡¯s feet unhappily. The hot coffee mixed with porcin fragments sshed everywhere. Linda¡¯s foot was immediately scalded red. ¡°Ah¡­¡± Linda cried out in pain, but Giselle rolled her eyes at her. ¡°This is your most capable assistant, Ms. Duran. She doesn¡¯t look capable.¡± Alexa ignored Giselle and went straight to Linda to support her. ¡°Are you okay? Go to the infirmary and deal with your wound.¡± ¡°Ms. Duran¡­¡± Linda¡¯s eyes were red, and she was about to cry. She was a young girl who had just started working and had never experienced such treatment. At this moment, not only was she afraid of Giselle, but she was also more worried about Alexa. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. I will deal with this.¡± After Linda left the office, Alexa¡¯s cold eyes locked on Giselle. ¡°What can I do for you, Ms. Niebergall?¡± ¡°I found that Ms. Duran is too tired. So I came to share your burden.¡± Giselle pretended to be innocent and mmed a document on the table. ¡°Sign it, and you don¡¯t need to be here tomorrow.¡± It was a ¡°Voluntary Form of Severance Agreement¡±. Seeing these big words, Alexa snorted disdainfully. ¡°It seems that Ms. Niebergall is already the president of Vision Group.¡± ¡°As Keyon¡¯s fianc¨¦e, this is my duty.¡± After saying that, Giselle looked back and forth at her with disgust. ¡°I heard that Ms. Duran is not in good health. Now you can retire and go home to take care of yourself.¡± Alexa¡¯s pupils shrank. She did not expect Keyon to tell Giselle this. ¡°What are you in a daze for? I¡¯m talking to you. Why are you pretending to be dead?¡± ¡°Giselle, what are you trying to do?¡± Alexa¡¯s tone suddenly became threatening. Giselle could not help but be scared by her. ¡°What? You dare to turn up your nose at me!¡± ¡°Why did you choose the Duran family?¡± ¡°Alexa, you better be obedient. If it were not for the fact that you are Keyon¡¯s sister, I would have already been impolite to you.¡± Alexa looked at the agreement and knew very well that she had no way out. Giselle dared to do this, which meant that the Duran family and even Keyon had already acquiesced. How¡­ how could it be that¡­ ¡°If you don¡¯t sign it, you and your son might have a hard time.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll sign it.¡± Alexa slowly spoke, and Giselle beamed with joy. ¡°Good, you are more obedient than I thought.¡± Alexa had already mentally prepared herself, but when she signed it, her movements were still very stiff. ¡°After signing, you can leave Vision Group. I don¡¯t want to talk nonsense. I have only one requirement for you. You can never appear at the Duran family.¡± Giselle did not even give her a look. Alexa gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. ¡°Then please honor what you say, Ms. Niebergall. Don¡¯t hurt my son.¡± ¡°Of course.¡± When Alexa left thepany, almost everyone was looking at her, but no one dared to go forward and ask about the situation. Linda ignored the burns on her foot and chased after her. ¡°Ms. Duran. I will contact the president now,¡± she said worriedly. ¡°No need.¡± Alexa patted the back of her hand to reassure her. ¡°You just have to work hard. Don¡¯t worry about me.¡± Chapter 295 Chapter 295 Chapter 295 Fight Against the Entire Family for You ¡°But Ms. Duran¡­¡± ¡°Go back quickly. Don¡¯t get in touch with me too much. They will target you.¡± Afterforting Linda, Alexa left thepany. It was ridiculous.She turned around and looked at the magnificent skyscraper behind her.She had struggled for three years, but she ended up like this. It was like a dream. This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Enter title¡­She wanted to take a taxi back to pick up Damarion, but a silver- white Shelby stopped in front of her. Conley rolled down the window and put on a serious expression for the first time. ¡°Get in the car.¡± Alexa did not stand on ceremony with him and sat on the passenger seat. There was a moment of silence in the car. Conley thought for a while and asked tentatively. ¡°Are you ¡­ okay?¡± ¡°Alright, why am I not okay?¡± Alexa¡¯s expression was the same as ever. ¡°I¡¯ve heard about it. Giselle asked you to quit your job,¡± Conley said with some dissatisfaction. ¡°Why didn¡¯t Keyon stop her? He allowed her to be so impudent!¡± Speaking of Keyon, there was a slight fluctuation in Alexa¡¯s mood. ¡°He has been busy with the affairs in the foreign branch offices recently. Maybe he has no time to care about it.¡± But when it came to the recement of the president of Vision Group, if there was no acquiescence from the board of directors, Giselle would not have such great power. She understood this logic, and Conley naturally understood it better. However, the two tacitly chose to blur things out. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve already sent someone to pick up Damarion. Where do you n to go next?¡± Conley asked. ¡°Thank you. Can I trouble you to send me to Tiant Apartment?¡± Alexa finally showed a relieved smile. ¡°Of course.¡± Ten minutester, Yareli came out of Tiant Apartment with Damarion in her arms. ¡°Yareli? Why are you here?¡± Alexa asked in surprise. ¡°Ms. Duran¡­¡± Yareli sobbed with red eyes and said in a choked voice. ¡°Ms. Duran, Giselle moved to the vi. I knew that you and Damarion were going to live there, so I followed her.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°Ms. Duran, Damarion was also brought up by me. I will go wherever you go.¡± ¡°Yareli, my house is rtively simple. You may not have a good life here,¡± Alexa said guiltily. ¡°No. I don¡¯t feel hard at all!¡± Conley asked someone to help them pack the luggage and suddenly said. ¡°It¡¯s a little small. Why don¡¯t you move to my house?¡± Damarion didn¡¯t quite understand. He blinked at Conley and looked very happy. Conley hugged him with a smile and asked in a seemingly teasing manner. ¡°Damarion, do you want toe with me?¡± ¡°Okay.¡± As she heard Damarion¡¯s clean-cut answer, Alexa¡¯s eyes darkened, and she helplessly carried him back. ¡°Damarion, from today on, we will live here.¡± Conley smiled and quietly looked at the mother and son. ¡°I have to go back to thepany to deal with something. Call me if you need anything.¡± ¡°I troubled you too much today. Conley, thank you,¡± Alexa said sincerely. ¡°Why do you thank me? I don¡¯t need your thanks at all,¡± Conley smiled. ¡°Or do you want to treat me to a meal when you are free?¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Conley went downstairs in satisfaction, but he did not expect to see Terrence getting out of the car. The smile that was on his face immediately froze. Both of them were hostile to each other, and they looked at each other with dislike. Terrence¡¯s expression was unbelievably cold, and Conley¡¯s expression was not much better. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, you¡¯re really well-informed. I just sent her here, and you cameter.¡± ¡°You can ask my assistant to pay the fee for your ride. Get out of the way.¡± Conley refused to move and blocked his way. ¡°Do you want to know why Giselle suddenly targeted Alexa?¡± Conley sneered and looked at Terrence disdainfully. However, Terrence¡¯s face was so cold that there was no change at all. He indifferently repeated. ¡°Get out of the way.¡± ¡°To be with you, she is almost fighting against the entire family.¡± As Conley spoke, his eyes could not help but darken a little. ¡°I really don¡¯t understand. She clearly has a better choice, so why must it be you?¡± At that moment, a hint of astonishment shed through Terrence¡¯s eyes. ¡°What do you know?¡± ¡°What do I know had nothing to do with you! If you want to know, you can ask yourself.¡± Conley brushed past him indifferently. Terrence did not hesitate at all and went upstairs without any exnation. Alexa was packing up in the living room. After hearing the knock on the door, she thought that Conley had returned. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? What did you leave behind¡­¡± Before Alexa could finish speaking, her voice stopped abruptly. ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me?¡± Terrence¡¯s tone was serious as he squeezed into the living room. ¡°Where¡¯s Damarion?¡± ¡°Yareli is apanying him. He¡¯s sleeping in the room.¡± Terrence sighed silently and stood in the living room, looking around. ¡°Come back with me.¡± Without waiting for Alexa to answer, Terrence took the initiative to block her way out. ¡°Are you going to say that this is your own business and has nothing to do with me?¡± Alexa choked, and it was obvious that Terrence was right. Terrence sighed helplessly, not knowing how many strange thoughts were in Alexa¡¯s brain. ¡°You have to give me a reason.¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Alexa said awkwardly, her tightly knitted brows not rxing in the slightest. ¡°I really don¡¯t want to involve more people in this matter.¡± The conversation between the two suddenly fell into a stalemate. The atmosphere in the living room was very heavy, and Terrence¡¯s expression was like covered with a layer of thin ice. At this time, Yareli came out of the room. ¡°Ms. Duran, Mr. Ramsey,¡± she said kindly, ¡°Damarion has fallen asleep.¡± ¡°Okay, thank you, Yareli. You should go home and rest early. You don¡¯t have toe over tonight.¡± Alexa looked calm as usual. Yareli was stunned at first, but when she thought of Terrence being here, she immediately understood. ¡°Okay.¡± After Yareli left, they did not continue the previous topic. Alexa silently nced at Terrence. He still kept a stern face and looked angry. ¡°Well, I should have told you in advance.¡± Terrence pursed his lips and did not answer. Alexa felt ashamed and probed. ¡°If there is anything in the future, I will tell you.¡± ¡°This is not a question of whether to tell me or not.¡± ¡°Eh¡­?¡± Alexa turned her head and was even more puzzled. ¡°It is¡­¡± Terrence could not bear it anymore and took a few steps closer to her. Alexa subconsciously retreated, but she did not expect that he would just hold her waist and press her down on the sofa. ¡°How is it enough just to tell me?¡± His voice was low and soothing. ¡°What I want is your unconditional trust. I want you to think of me when you encounter difficulties and never push me immediately away.¡± Alexa¡¯s clear eyes seemed to be misty. She did not dare to look at Terrence, but at this moment, she was inexplicably at ease. It was as if everything would be fine with him around. ¡°I will destroy all the people who make you unhappy.¡± Chapter 296 Chapter 296 Chapter 296 Always a Child When Alexa heard this, her look became a bit firmer and decisive.She took the opportunity to grasp Terrence¡¯s tie and smiled flirtatiously. ¡°I will deal with them.¡± ¡°That¡¯s my girl.¡± Terrence smiled affectionately and kissed Alexa on the side of her neck. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t go back. It¡¯s good to change your style asionally.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Before Terrence could exin, the doorbell rang. Alexa¡¯s expression changed. She immediately pushed Terrence away and got up in a panic to tidy up her clothes. ¡°Who¡¯s here?¡± Terrence did not panic at all and gently nodded to signal her to open the door. Alexa did not expect that the person who came to be Edwin¡­ ¡°Hello, Mrs. Ramsey.¡± Edwin smiled shyly at Alexa and then looked at the bodyguards behind him. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, all the daily necessities you want have been bought.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Terrence nodded with satisfaction and said, ¡°Send them in and set them up.¡¯ ¡°Yes.¡± Then, Alexa was shocked to see the well-trained bodyguards move lots of boxes into the house. ¡°Terrence¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be touched. This is my duty as a husband. In this way, this ce is more like home.¡± Terrence was quite proud. Terrence¡¯s intention was so obvious that it was difficult for Alexa to not find out. However, they had finally arranged the house, and an uninvited guest came. Kieran, dressed in beige casual clothes, came out of the door. When he saw Terrence in the living room, a trace of surprise shed through his calm eyes. ¡°Mr. Ramsey is also here?¡± Kieran smiled and greeted Terrence, but Terrence did not buy it. Not only did Terrence ignore Kieran, but Terrence¡¯s eyes were also full of hostility. Alexa sensed that the atmosphere was not right and instantly became nervous. ¡°Why don¡¯t you go to the room to look after Damar?¡± Alexa looked at Terrence tentatively. Terrence¡¯s face was full of reluctance, but hepromised for the first time. Kieran looked at her with a faint smile and said nothing. ¡°Have a seat. What brings you here today?¡± Alexa asked gently. ¡°I¡¯m off work now, so I came to see you.¡± Just as Kieran finished his words, footsteps came from the corner of the corridor. Alexa remained silent. ¡°I heard that the Niebergall family intends to develop their business in New York. I already know about Vision Group.¡± ¡°Well, it¡¯s not a big deal.¡± Alexa was just polite, making Kieran clearly feel the distance between them. Terrence had been making some noise inside, and Alexa was inexplicably tired. Alexa thought, why does Terrence act like a child? ¡°If you want, the Powell Group will always open the door to you.¡± Before Alexa could answer, a ¡°no need¡± suddenly sounded. Terrence appeared in front of them with a cold face, his entire body filled with rejection. ¡°She is my girl. You don¡¯t need to care about her.¡± ¡°I just want to provide some help to Alexa as a friend.¡± ¡°Then, keep this good friendship between you two. Don¡¯t cross it.¡± Terrence whispered with a fake smile. ¡°Mr. Ramsey might not know. Alexa is an excellent marketing analyst. I¡¯m sure lots of toppanies will give her offers.¡± ¡°No need for Mr. Powell to remind me.¡± Alexa silently gave Terrence a look, indicating that he should stop arguing with Kieran. Terrence gently curved his lips, indicating that she should be at ease. The next second, he misinterpreted her meaning. ¡°But the Powell Group may not be included in the so-called toppanies.¡± Kieran pursed his thin lips lightly, apparently annoyed by Terrence¡¯s words. ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. I still have to go back to see the old man.¡± Kieran was still smiling warmly at Alexa. ¡°Alexa, you should have a rest. Don¡¯t care about those irrelevant people.¡± Kieran seemed to emphasize the words ¡°irrelevant people¡±, and the darkness in Terrence¡¯s eyes deepened. Just as Kieran left, Terrence grabbed Alexa and impatiently asked. ¡°Who is he talking about?¡± Alexa hesitated for a while and then said, ¡°Shut up.¡± ¡°What do you want to eat tonight?¡± Terrence immediately changed his words. Alexa knew that Terrence wanted to make her happy, but she could not be happy after experiencing so many things today. ¡°I¡¯m a little tired. I want to sleep.¡± Alexa walked gloomily to the room, but a pair of powerful arms wrapped around her from behind and brought her into Terrence¡¯s arms. ¡°Today is such a rare day. And you are not busy now. Shall we go out for a walk?¡± Terrence rubbed her neck affectionately. ¡°A special day that only belongs to the two of us.¡± ¡°But Damar¡­¡± ¡°There will be professional caretakers and bodyguards to look out for Damar. Don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°Thank you, but I¡¯m not in the mood. I don¡¯t want to go out.¡± ¡°Are you thinking about thepany?¡± Terrence¡¯s maic voice became gentler. ¡°With your ability, this matter is not enough to drain your energy. Moreover, I am here.¡± Alexa¡¯s eyshes fluttered, and there was a ray of sunlight shining through the blinds on the floor of the room. It was bright, and there seemed to be a warmth flowing through her entire body. ¡°Going out for a walk¡­ seems kinda good. Then where are we going?¡± Alexa asked curiously. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll make the arrangements.¡± Ten minutester, Terrence parked the car at the entrance of the mall. ¡°Shall we buy something?¡± ¡°We haven¡¯t been to the supermarket for a long time,¡± Terrence naturally held her hand and said, ¡°Just about time to buy some ingredients.¡± In fact, all these things were taken care of by specialized people, but Terrence liked to spend time with her. When Alexa was seriously picking out goods, Terrence always felt the warmth of home. Terrence was a little lost. He couldn¡¯t help but grip her hand tighter when he thought of this. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Alexa looked sideways at Terrence. ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Terrence smiled gently, and his eyes were full of love. ¡°I just feel that it would be better if we could have more time like this.¡± ¡°Sure, we can oftene out to buy groceries.¡± ¡°Well, what do you want to eat at night?¡± ¡°Some cakes.¡± Alexa blurted out without thinking. Alexa¡¯s clear eyes were filled with anticipation. Seeing that she was finally a little happy, Terrence¡¯s smile deepened. ¡°Okay, then let¡¯s go and buy some.¡± The end of the year wasing, and there were many people in the supermarket. Terrence pushed the shopping cart with one hand and held Alexa firmly with the other hand. He had no intention of letting go at all. Alexa¡¯s hand was originally very cold, but now it was covered with a thinyer of sweat.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org. ¡°Don¡¯t be so nervous. I¡¯m not a child. I won¡¯t get lost.¡± ¡°How is it not a child?¡± Terrence said unhurriedly, ¡°You are always a child to me, always.¡± Alexa did not say anything, but her face was flushed with a smile. After they bought the things, they left the supermarket. Unexpectedly, they met an ¡°acquaintance¡±. Giselle intimately held Keyon¡¯s arm, and the two walked out of the maternity shop on the side, talking andughing. Chapter 297 Chapter 297 Chapter 297 He Wants a Daughter In an instant, it was getting awkward. Terrence instinctively grabbed Alexa and protected her in his arms. His malicious eyes were locked on Keyon. And Keyon¡¯s face was not much better, and his eyes were full of hostility toward Terrence. Giselle deliberately supported her waist, forcing people to shift their eyes to her lower abdomen. ¡°What a coincidence,¡± Giselle greeted Alexa in a delicate voice, ¡°Alexa, you were in such a hurry to leave Vision Group this morning that I didn¡¯t even have time to treat you to a meal.¡± ¡°Ms. Niebergall, you don¡¯t have to worry.¡± Terrence¡¯s cold gaze instantly pierced her. ¡°I will be responsible for her meal today.¡± ¡°Alexa, it¡¯s gettingte. Why don¡¯t I ask Milton to send you home?¡± Keyon spoke in a gentle voice, but he didn¡¯t dare to look at Alexa. ¡°There is no need. It looks like you¡¯re also very busy,¡± Alexa tly refused. ¡°It¡¯s not time to be busy yet.¡± Giselle couldn¡¯t wait to answer, leaning against Keyon with a blessed smile on her face. ¡°It¡¯s only two months.¡± Terrence clearly felt Alexa¡¯s figure stiffen. Keyon moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he still didn¡¯t say anything. ¡°Alexa. It¡¯s gettingte. I¡¯ll send you back. You live outside. I¡¯m worried,¡± Keyon said. ¡°Keyon, You should be more worried if I go back.¡± Alexa smiled and looked at Giselle innocently. ¡°What do you think, Ms. Niebergall?¡± ¡°How could that be? We are family,¡± Giselle replied. ¡°You are too polite.¡± Alexa perfunctorily said two or three sentences, and then looked up at Terrence. ¡°Let¡¯s go back.¡± Seeing that Alexa trusted Terrence so much, Keyon felt a little sad.But before Keyon could say anything, Alexa went far away with Terrence. Giselle pulled Keyon¡¯s sleeve like a spoiled child and muttered with dissatisfaction. ¡°Keyon, don¡¯t look, let¡¯s go back.¡± Keyon suddenly nced at her coldly. Giselle was startled. ¡°You¡­ Why are you looking at me like that? The doctor said that I can¡¯t have emotional fluctuations in the early stage of pregnancy.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Keyon said helplessly, ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± On the other side, Alexa had already returned to the car with Terrence. There was a dull sound of thunder in the distance. It seemed that it was going to rain again tonight. There was obviously a heater in the car, but Alexa still felt cold. She turned on the radio casually, but she did not expect it to be the topic of child care. Alexa¡¯s face instantly fell, and she pressed the closing button. Terrence did not speak. He found a soft nket and ced it on her body. He took the opportunity to hold Alexa¡¯s hand and frowned slightly. ¡°Why is your hand so cold? Is it still very cold?¡± ¡°No, not cold.¡± ¡°Sorry, I was nning to bring you out to rx, but I didn¡¯t expect to encounter them.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. New York is small. It¡¯s hard to avoid them.¡± Alexa shook her head. Alexa was still tense, but the bitterness in her heart was out of control. Not only did Keyon not tell her anything, he even had a child with Giselle. ¡°How could Giselle be pregnant¡­¡± Although Alexa said it very quietly, Terrence still heard it. ¡°Why didn¡¯t Keyon tell me?¡± ¡°Alexa,¡± Terrence probed, ¡°Are you alright?¡± ¡°Not well¡­¡± Alexa made a muffled sound and suddenly felt her eyes turn sour. Before she could control her emotions, warm tears burst out of her eyes. ¡°Not good at all!¡± Alexa was like a crying child, her face full of grievance. However, Alexa was still very stubborn. She raised her hand to wipe her tears. However, in the next second, Terrence gently held her hand. Alexa suddenly became absent-minded and was suddenly carried into Terrence¡¯s embrace with the cold fragrance from him. ¡°In front of me, you can cry,¡± Terrence said word by word seriously, ¡°Whether it is happiness, grievance, or other emotions, tell me.¡± ¡°I just think¡­ I just feel that I don¡¯t seem to be that important anymore.¡± Alexa choked and hurriedly wiped away her tears. ¡°No,¡± Terrence replied without thinking, ¡°You are very important and irreceable.¡± ¡°But he hides something from me¡­¡± ¡°It may be a secret that is hard to say.¡± ¡°But Giselle is pregnant, which means that Keyon has been hiding it from me before.¡± Terrence sighed softly and said a few good words for Keyon calmly. ¡°He has to deal with the entire family. There are many things that he has no choice but to do.¡± ¡°What about me? Will there be a day when I will also¡­¡± ¡°No.¡± ¡°Why are you so sure?¡± The tears in Alexa¡¯s eyes were still faintly shing, but Terrence¡¯s determined eyes inexplicably filled her with a sense of security. ¡°Because I can¡¯t let go. You are the person I love. I won¡¯t let you get hurt.¡± Terrence gently wiped away the tears on Alexa¡¯s face with his fingertips. Seeing her pitiful appearance with tears in her eyes, he couldn¡¯t help but chuckle. ¡°I just don¡¯t know what to do when you cry.¡± ¡°I know that I look very ugly right now¡­¡± Alexa¡¯s voice was pretty soft, and she deliberately turned her body to avoid Terrence¡¯s gaze. However, Terrence pursued relentlessly and hurriedly said. ¡°Not ugly. Who said you were ugly?¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t look good anyway.¡± ¡°No one looks good when they cry.¡± Terrence¡¯s deep eyes were filled with a bright smile. ¡°Except my dear Alexa.¡± When the words fell, there was another dull thunder in the sky. Terrence sat up straight and drove the car. ¡°Alright, we have to go back.¡± ¡°Are you hungry?¡± Terrence asked patiently. ¡°A little.¡± ¡°Hmm, let¡¯s go home.¡± Alexa finally calmed down. The phone screen suddenly lit up. It was a text message from Keyon. Keyon: ¡°Did you go home with him?¡± Alexa¡¯s eyshes fluttered as she silently nced at her phone before putting her phone into his bag. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you replying?¡± Terrence suddenly asked, instantly seeing through her thoughts. ¡°You don¡¯t want to reply?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to. He can just fully focus on Giselle,¡± Alexa said truthfully. Terrence didn¡¯t say anything and casually turned on the radio station. Unfortunately, the program about child care just now was still going on, but the topic had be ¡°daughter¡±. Alexa pursed his lips. She did not want to hear about such a topic. Terrence chuckled softly. He said, ¡°I want to listen carefully.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Alexa looked puzzled. ¡°What if we have a daughter in the future?¡± His words did not sound like a joke. Alexa blinked unnaturally. Her face was hot as if it was going to burn up. C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. ¡°What¡­ Daughter¡­ I don¡¯t understand what you are saying.¡± ¡°Oh? Is that so?¡± Terrence¡¯s tone was light. ¡°This is easy. I¡¯ll find some time to exin it to you slowly.¡± ¡°This¡­ is not necessary.¡± Chapter 298 Chapter 298 Chapter 298 Happiness Is All Rted to You When Alexa and Terrence arrived home, it began raining. Alexa stood at the door and changed her shoes. She was like wrapped in water vapor. The heater in the room had already been turned on, and Terrence began to get busy as soon as he entered the room. He thoughtfully handed over a warm handbag, then took her cold coat and carefully wrapped the soft nket around Alexa. ¡°Don¡¯t be so nervous. I can still take care of myself.¡± ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be cold,¡± Terrence nodded with relief and said, ¡°You go to rest first. I¡¯ll call you when the meal is ready.¡± Alexa looked at the pile of rich ingredients and thought that Terrence had also been busy for a day. She rolled up her sleeves and was ready to help. ¡°I¡¯ll help you.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Terrence did not say too much and carried Alexa into the room. ¡°You¡¯re fine, which is the greatest help to me.¡± Damarion had already woken up and was currently sitting in the baby bed ying with toys. Seeing Terrence carry Alexa into the room, his big, grape-like eyes were filled with curiosity. ¡°Daddy, hug!¡± Damarion held out his hand to Terrence in anticipation and smiled very happily. Alexa couldn¡¯t help butugh, but her face was still flushed. Terrence helped Alexa tuck in and gently picked up Damarion. ¡°Damar, be good. Don¡¯t disturb Mommy,¡± Terrence walked out with Damarion in his arms and said, ¡°y with Daddy.¡± ¡°I can be very noisy and will cause trouble for you.¡± ¡°No, you won¡¯t.¡± Terrence had no intention of letting go and was even in a good mood. ¡°I like it no matter what.¡± After Terrence and Damarion left the room, the originally lively atmosphere gradually calmed down. Alexa hid in the quilt and thought of Giselle as soon as she closed her eyes. Terrence was right, Keyon was indeed carrying the burden of the family. But Alexa was Keyon¡¯s sister, so why didn¡¯t he let her share the burden with her? Alexa picked up the phone. Keyon had just sent her more than a dozen messages, but she didn¡¯t look at them, let alone reply. The phone screen lit up with a cold light. Alexa peacefully listened to all the voice messages. Keyon was not angry. Instead, he was concerned about her life and her feelings. ¡°It¡¯s getting cold. You have to take good care of yourself.¡± After listening to thest sentence, Alexa discovered that the pillow was actually soaked in arge area with tears. She quickly wiped away her tears, but instead, the more she wiped, the more tears came out. When Alexa came back to her senses, she had already dialed Keyon¡¯s number. She clearly had a lot to say, but the moment the call connected, Alexa held her breath and did not dare to speak. Until a proud female voice sounded. ¡°What¡¯s the matter? Keyon is busy.¡± Hearing Giselle¡¯s voice, Alexa instantly stopped talking. However, although Alexa concealed it well, Giselle still caught the slight sobbing. ¡°Are you crying? Looks like it¡¯s an important matter. Do you need me to help you find Keyon?¡± Giselle chuckled nonchntly. Alexa¡¯s eyes turned cold, and she instantly suppressed all her emotions. This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org. ¡°Giselle, why is Keyon¡¯s phone with you?¡± ¡°What? Why not?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t go too far!¡± ¡°If it¡¯s something I want, Keyon will find a way to give it to me, not to mention his phone.¡± ¡°Giselle, I don¡¯t care what you want to do in the Duran family, but if you hurt Keyon, I will never let you go.¡± ¡°Oh, thene on,¡± Giselle rolled her eyes and provoked Alexa without fear. ¡°Isn¡¯t it just Terrence that you can rely on? What¡¯s so great about it? He doesn¡¯t dare to offend the Niebergall family for you.¡± Alexa did not reply and directly hung up the phone. At this time, the door was gently knocked. ¡°Alexa, are you still sleeping? Dinner is ready.¡± Hearing Terrence¡¯s voice, Alexa immediately adjusted her mood and tried to pretend that nothing had happened. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll get dressed and go down immediately.¡± Alexa changed into a light-colored home dress. When she went downstairs, Terrence just happened to carry Damarion into the baby chair. The hot aroma came, and Alexa¡¯s taste buds were instantly awakened. On the table were two different kinds of cake, and in front of Damar was a delicate and cute baby meal. ¡°Let¡¯s eat.¡± After Terrence said that, he pulled out the chair for her. ¡°Be careful.¡± After he reminded her, Alexa carefully took a bit. The chocte fruit cake was sweet but not too greasy. With the light vor provided by the fruit, it was a perfect match. ¡°Is it delicious?¡± Terrence asked expectantly. ¡°Yes!¡± Alexa nodded repeatedly, a satisfied smile on her face. ¡°Little greedy, eat slowly.¡± Terrence smiled. ¡°No one will snatch it from you.¡± ¡°This kind of chocte cake has to be eaten while it is warm, and one bite will bring the whole body warmth.¡± After Alexa finished speaking, she found that the cake on Terrence¡¯s te did not move at all. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you eating?¡± ¡°No hurry.¡± After Terrence finished speaking, he carefully fed Damarion a spoonful of egg soup. ¡°I¡¯ll eat after taking care of Damar.¡± ¡°You know how to take care of Damar better than I do.¡± Alexa could not help but sigh. ¡°This is what I should have done.¡± Terrence¡¯s calm eyes suddenly shed with a sense of loss. ¡°What¡¯s more, I have never done my duty as a father.¡± Hearing this, Alexa didn¡¯t say anything back for quite a while. In fact, in those two years¡­ Alexa did not hate Terrence.But Alexa herself might not even dare to believe it.But that was indeed the case. From almost dead to being reborn, life was more like a gift to her. ¡°There is still a lot of time¡­¡± Alexa softly muttered, and Terrence¡¯s face was immediately filled with surprise. ¡°What¡­ did you just say, Alexa?¡± ¡°I said we have a long way to go.¡± Alexa said it clearly, with a relieved smile on her pure little face. Damarion could not understand what they were saying, but he could feel a pleasant atmosphere. The family of three had a very warm dinner. After dinner, Alexa and Terrence cleaned up the dishes together. Although Terrence agreed to let Alexa help, most of the things were actually done by him. Alexa stood at the side wiping the dishes. His eyes suddenly noticed the night rain outside the window. ¡°The rain outside is heavy. It should be snowing tomorrow.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Sensing the joy in his words, Alexa looked at him curiously. Terrence was indeed smiling very happily. ¡°What are you so happy about?¡± ¡°About many happy things in life.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Terrence smiled gently. When he looked at her, his eyes seemed to contain a pool of stars. ¡°For example, someone just had a lot of chocte cake tonight.¡± ¡°That¡¯s because your cooking is really good.¡± ¡°Another example is that you just said that we have plenty of time in the future.¡± It was clearly not some profound love words, but when it was repeated by Terrence, Alexa could not help but throb. ¡°I will remember this sentence. I will definitely remember it clearly.¡± Terrence took the opportunity to pull Alexa into his arms and greedily took the warmth of Alexa¡¯s embrace. ¡°I will remember it. I will definitely not go back on my word.¡± Chapter 299 Chapter 299 Chapter 299 Have a Fight With Mr. Duran? That night, Alexa had a rare good sleep.She woke up at nine o¡¯clock the next day. However, Terrence had not yet set off to work.He was standing in front of her in a neat ck suit. Unlike usual, he was also wearing a baby strap on his chest, and Damarion was now lying in his arms comfortably. Alexa rubbed her eyes to make sure that the unusual scene in front of her was real, and then she laughed. ¡°You¡¯re like Mr. Kangaroo. Hahaha.¡± Terrence¡¯s lips curved slightly, but his ears were flushed for the first time. ¡°I will take Damar to thepany so that you can take some rest.¡± After that, Terrence changed the topic. ¡°Did you sleep wellst night?¡± Alexa stretched her body like a furry kitten. ¡°Very well.¡± ¡°Good.¡± Terrence nodded and asked gently, ¡°What¡¯s your n for today? I¡¯ll stay with you after I handle the work in thepany.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me.¡± Alexa thought about it. Then she said, ¡°Tom said that my family¡¯s old house is going to be renovated, so I will go back to pack some stuff.¡± ¡°Your family¡¯s old house¡­¡± Terrence repeated those words.His eyes gradually became vignt. ¡°Let me go with you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯m fine. Your work is more important.¡± ¡°Then let Ted send you there.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°Damar and I are leaving.¡± ¡°This little fellow is going to make trouble. He will wear you out.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll be fine.¡± Terrence answered firmly and looked down at Damarion in his arms tenderly. ¡°My son will behave himself.¡± After saying that, Terrence carried Damarion in his arms and set off. However, he went back to Alexa before he left. ¡°Your period wille soon. I made some hot soup for you. It¡¯s on the table.Remember to drink it while it is hot.¡± Alexa¡¯s eyshes fluttered. She never expected that Terrence would be so thoughtful. ¡°Okay.¡± The smile on her face could not be hidden at all. It was bright like the warm sun in winter. Terrence looked at her and smiled. He gently carried Damarion away. However, when he got into the car, his expression immediately turned serious. ¡°Send more people to protect Alexa, but don¡¯t let her notice them.¡± ¡°Yes, Mr. Ramsey.¡± Edwin nodded swiftly and said, ¡°Mr. Ramsey, I have found out the Niebergall Group¡¯s n in New York. Irvin intends to enter the technology industry, and he has already made several big deals.¡± ¡°It seems that he intends to run businesses in New York.¡± There was no emotion in Terrence¡¯s eyes. He did not care about Irvin at all. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, then we¡­¡± Hudson Group was a high-techpany. It was obvious that Irvin¡¯s target was Hudson Group. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it. Just stick to our n.¡± When Terrence finished speaking, Damarion, who had been quiet all this time, began to toss and turn. The serious expression on Terrence¡¯s face instantly disappeared and was reced by pure gentleness. Damarion stepped on Terrence¡¯s thigh and yed Terrence¡¯s tie. Edwin was shocked as he saw this scene from the rearview mirror. The people on the outside would never have thought that Terrence, a serious man, would actually look like this in private. Not long after, Damarion made Terrence¡¯s neat suit a little messy. Terrence was not angry at all. Instead, he held Damarion patiently to make sure the child was safe. ¡°Daddy.¡± ¡°Huh? What¡¯s wrong, babe?¡± Terrence lovingly pinched his soft and delicate face. ¡°Daddy is unhappy.¡± Damarion held Terrence¡¯s face and pouted. There was actually a trace of curiosity in his bright eyes. ¡°Dad is not unhappy,¡± Terrence exined gently, ¡°Dad is very happy with Damar here.¡± It was unknown whether Damarion understood it or not, but Terrence smiled in a rxed mood. ¡°So cute, just like your mother.¡± And at this time, Alexa was ready to go out. Because she only nned to go home to pack up some old books, Alexa only called Tom and did not even send a message to Keyon. However, just as she got in the car, Keyon called. ¡°Alexa, Tom said you would go back to the old house today. When will you leave your house? I can pick you up.¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright. It¡¯s not a big deal.¡± Alexa lowered her eyes. ¡°I¡¯ming from thepany now. Wait for me.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Detecting Alexa¡¯s weird mood, Keyon frowned slightly. ¡°Alexa, you¡¯re not in a good mood today?¡± ¡°No. This is normal for me.¡± Keyon still wanted to say something, but Alexa had already hung up. Giselle, who was on Keyon¡¯s side, was so happy. But she pretended to put on a worried face. ¡°Keyon, did Terrence make Alexa angry?¡± After a while, Keyon did not reply but stared straight at her. Giselle curled her lips, feeling wronged. She was scared by Keyon¡¯s cold eyes. ¡°Keyon, did I¡­ say something wrong?¡± She retorted stubbornly, ¡°I have long heard that Terrence is temperamental and has a bad temper. He even sent his first girlfriend to prison.¡± ¡°Brynlee deserved it,¡± Keyon squeezed out a few words with a gloomy face. ¡°Even so, Terrence is still very scary. Alexa should stay away from him.¡± Giselle said so many words against Terrence, and Keyon suddenly grabbed her wrist. ¡°Ah, Keyon, what are you doing?¡± she eximed in shock. ¡°I¡¯ve already warned you not to interfere in our family¡¯s affairs.¡± ¡°Your family? Am I an outsider?¡± ¡°We are not married yet.¡± Keyon flung her hand away, expressionlessly withdrawing his gaze. ¡°Even if you really be Mrs. Duran, it¡¯s still not your business.¡± Giselle didn¡¯t dare to speak, but a ruthless look silently shed across her innocent eyes. I must get rid of Alexa! After that, Keyon did not mention picking up Alexa anymore. Instead, he directly took Giselle back home. In the eastern part of New York. Alexa walked into the old house alone. This house had been vacant for a long time. Usually, there were only Tom and a dozen servants taking care of it. After seeing Alexa, they all greeted her kindly. ¡°Ms. Duran, where is Mr. Duran? He did note back with you?¡± Tom asked curiously. Alexa¡¯s expression did not change. She looked calm. ¡°He must be busy.¡± After saying that, Alexa went straight to her room. ¡°This ce is still the same¡­¡± She sighed softly and stood in the room for a moment. Not long after, Lindsay came up with a cup of tea. ¡°Ms. Duran, Mr. Duran said that the renovation will start the day after tomorrow.¡± Alexa nodded. ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . ¡°Ms. Duran, did you and Mr. Duran have a fight?¡± Lindsay asked carefully. Alexa did not know how to answer. ¡°No, we¡¯re fine.¡± Chapter 300 Chapter 300 Chapter 300 As Long As You¡¯re Happy As soon as Alexa finished speaking, some noises were heard from downstairs. Lindsay looked down through the window to check it out. Then she said, ¡°Ms. Duran, Mr. Duran and Ms. Niebergall are here.¡± Alexa became grim. She packed up her things and intended to leave immediately. ¡°Ms. Duran, Ms. Duran¡­¡± Lindsay hurriedly chased after her, but Alexa didn¡¯t stop. A momentter, both of them stood still. Lindsay¡¯s gaze moved back and forth between Keyon and Alexa. Then she respectfully said, ¡°Mr. Duran.¡± Keyon looked indifferent, and his ck suit added to his coldness. ¡°Lindsay, leave us alone.¡± ¡°Yes, sir.¡± Lindsay hurriedly left. Alexa coldly lowered her eyes, about to leave with Lindsay. However, Keyon suddenly grabbed her wrist. ¡°Let go.¡± Hearing her cold words, Keyon was surprised. She has such a long face, yet she still said that she wasn¡¯t angry. For a moment, Keyon lost all of his anger. His eyes were filled with helplessness and indulgence. ¡°Come with me.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to.¡± Alexa shifted her gaze away, not even bothering to say another word. ¡°Won¡¯t your wife be angry?¡± Hearing Alexa mention ¡°your wife¡±, Keyon was helpless. ¡°Alexa¡­¡± ¡°Anyway, it doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Alexa suddenly realized something. ¡°I don¡¯t care that much.¡± Alexa deliberately emphasized the three words ¡°it doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Keyon was helpless at Alexa¡¯s words. ¡°Alexa, I just need five minutes to talk to you.¡± Her eyshes fluttered, and she caught a glimpse of Keyon¡¯s serious expression from the corner of her eyes. Alexa had softened her heart, but she still raised her hand and looked at her watch seriously. ¡°Alright, five minutes.¡± ¡°Come here.¡± Then Keyon pulled her to the study. This was the ce they used toe to y. After entering the room, Alexa instinctively sat on the chair she liked the most. Keyon turned on the heater, and the cold and damp room quickly warmed up. ¡°What do you want to drink? I¡¯ll get someone to bring it up.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not in the mood.¡± Keyon sighed softly and sat down opposite her. ¡°Alexa, I know you¡¯re mad at me. I shouldn¡¯t have taken Giselle home.¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing wrong.¡± ¡°She has always been arrogant and willful. I know.¡± Keyon¡¯s tone was very gentle, but Alexa felt bitter. He knew. He knew it all. ¡°So you can tolerate anything she does, right?¡± ¡°Alexa, it¡¯s all my fault,¡± Keyon said with his heart broken. ¡°But the other forces in the family are watching us. I can not let you take the risk again.¡± ¡°What¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ve always known that you don¡¯t like Kieran. The reason you¡¯re getting close to him is all your act, right?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa¡¯s reply was crystal clear. ¡°This is enough.¡¯ She unexpectedly met Keyon¡¯s gaze. His dark brown eyes were so calm. ¡°You only need to love what you love. Leave the rest to me.¡± ¡°Keyon¡­¡± ¡°Business marriage is just what I need right now. I have to do this.¡± After Keyon finished speaking, he curved up his lips into a faint smile. ¡°Alexa, I don¡¯t love anybody, so it doesn¡¯t matter to me who I marry.¡± Keyon looked at his younger sister standing in front of him. He thought of that summer many years ago, when they were ying happily. Alexa was his only sister. As long as she was happy, he would have no regrets to marry a woman he didn¡¯t love. ¡°Keyon, I don¡¯t want you to sacrifice your own happiness to help me. Is the socalled business really that important?¡± ¡°I have to be stronger so that I can protect the people I care about.¡± Keyon¡¯s slender fingers gently held the teacup. He sat in the quiet winter sun, and his cold face softened a bit. ¡°I¡¯ll be happy if you are.¡± After that, someone knocked on the door lightly. ¡°Mr. Duran, Ms. Duran, lunch is ready.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Keyon responded. He then looked at Alexa with a smile. ¡°You¡¯ve been busy all morning. Are you hungry?¡± Alexa came back to her senses and looked a little absent-minded. ¡°Keyon.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°Have you ever had a time when you couldn¡¯t bear it? I mean¡­¡± ¡°No.¡± She hadn¡¯t finished her sentence when she heard Keyon¡¯s firm reply. ¡°Why are you so sure?¡± ¡°Because I know why I did all this.¡± Keyon pinched her shoulderfortingly. His eyes were gentle and sharp. ¡°After everything¡¯s done, I¡¯ll let you go back to Vision Group.¡± ¡°The Niebergall family is not so easy to handle,¡± Alexa warned her brother with concern. She had been investigating the Niebergall family these days. Their background was not clean, and there were many shady deals involved. Terrence reminded her many times to stay away from this family. ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Keyon blinked at her. ¡°You just have to believe me. I won¡¯t let you get hurt.¡± Hearing her brother¡¯s words, Alexa had no choice but to follow him to the dining room. She didn¡¯t expect that Irvin would be there. When Irvin saw them, he instantly put on a fake smile and fixed his mischievous eyes on Alexa. ¡°Ms. Duran, d to see you again.¡± ¡°Mr. Niebergall, what a coincidence.¡± Alexa smiled slightly. She was not frightened at all. On the side, Giselle couldn¡¯t wait to grab Keyon¡¯s arm. ¡°What took you so long?¡± She muttered in dissatisfaction and even nced at Alexa with hostility. Keyon stopped the topic at the right time. He replied with a grim face, ¡°Something important.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Giselle responded doubtfully. The servants hurriedly served the exquisite dishes up, but Alexa did not have any appetite at all. This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Ms. Duran, looking at the food can fill your stomach?¡± Hearing Irvin¡¯s teasing, Alexa looked at him with a straight face. ¡°Mr. Niebergall, you can mind your own business.¡± At this time, Keyon ced a bowl of gravy in front of Alexa. ¡°Drink it while it¡¯s hot. It can warm up your body.¡± Giselle noticed Keyon¡¯s actions and instantly smashed the spoon down with a cold face. ¡°Keyon, I don¡¯t want to drink this. The baby wants something sour,¡± Giselle said softly, pressing her chest. Alexa was shocked at Giselle¡¯s words and then became calm quietly. ¡°You want something sour? That¡¯s a good thing,¡± Irvin teased her. ¡°Ms. Duran should know what it means, right?¡± While Giselle looked expectantly at her, Alexa remained calm. ¡°Lindsay.¡± Keyon interrupted Giselle, ¡°Get Ms. Niebergall a bowl of sour soup.¡± ¡°Keyon, people say that if a baby wants sour food, it must be a boy.¡± Giselle hinted at Keyon, a trace of pride shing through her eyes. Alexa must be so mad right now. Chapter 301 Chapter 301 Chapter 301 Make the Niebergall Group Go Bankrupt However, to Giselle¡¯s surprise, Alexa did not have any reaction, as if she had not heard what Giselle had said at all. Giselle still wanted to say something. Suddenly, there was the sound of a caring from outside the door. ¡°Who¡¯s here?¡± Keyon asked. ¡°Mr. Duran, it¡¯s Mr. Ramsey¡¯s car.¡± Hearing the housekeeper¡¯s answer, Alexa immediately put down her fork and was about to get up. Enter title¡­ However, Keyon nced at her silently, and she had no choice but to stay put. A dozen luxurious Rolls-Royces were parked in front of the door. The formation was vast and imposing. Dozens of well-trained bodyguards quickly cleared the way, and the servants of the Duran family could not stop them at all. Not long after, Terrence showed up. He had changed into a dark blue suit, and his noble temperament was iparable. He did nothing but stand there, yet his charisma was oppressive enough to make people hold their breaths. Alexa took a sip of coffee and rxed a lot. A trace of ruthlessness shed through Irvin¡¯s eyes, and he quickly put on a bright smile. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, what a nice surprise.¡± Terrence ignored him and went straight to Alexa. Keyon subconsciously reached out, wanting to stop Terrence. However, he then thought of something and stopped. ¡°You¡¯re here.¡± Alexa¡¯s eyes were filled with a pure smile. She was not surprised by Terrence¡¯s arrival. ¡°I¡¯m here to take you back for dinner,¡± Terrence said softly. Seeing Terrence¡¯s attitude towards Alexa, Giselle was utterly jealous. ¡°She will eat here. She doesn¡¯t need to go back,¡± Keyon calmly refused. Terrence calmly nced at the dishes on the table, his face full of disdain. ¡°Alexa likes none of these.¡± For a time, Keyon looked quite awkward. Then, Terrence took away the bowl of soup in front of Alexa. ¡°Alexa doesn¡¯t like the soup either.¡± After that, Terrence withdrew his scrutinizing gaze and held Alexa¡¯s hand naturally. ¡°So useless.¡± Keyon choked on Terrence¡¯s words. ¡°Alexa, let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, you have just arrived. And you¡¯re leaving already?¡± Irvin said in time, ¡°Why don¡¯t you grab a seat and chat with us?¡± ¡°There is something filthy here.¡± Terrence slowly opened his mouth, not even ncing at Irvin. ¡°The Niebergall Group will cooperate with Hudson Group sooner orter. Why don¡¯t we take today to get familiar with each other?¡± ¡°Cooperate? Who made you so confident?¡± Terrence rarely spoke so bluntly. This time, not only Keyon, but even Alexa was shocked. Terrence kept a poker face. In a split second, Alexa felt enhanced strength from the hand that was holding hers. A firm, warm hand wrapped hers, making her feel extremely at ease. ¡°If what you want is an answer, I can give it to you right now,¡± Terrence said coldly, ¡°Hudson Group has never considered cooperating with the Niebergall Group.¡± Irvin was a little awkward, and the veins on his forehead were slightly bulging. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, you seem so sure. Nothing is certain before it happens. Maybe you should think twice.¡± ¡°Mr. Niebergall, it¡¯s my advice to you to eat less, or your brain might be affected easily.¡± Terrence paused, and his eyes were full of coldness. ¡°If you insist on testing out my limits, there is only one consequence¡­¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, there is no need to be so tense. I was just joking.¡± ¡°Mr. Niebergall, will it take a day or two to make the Niebergall Group go bankrupt?¡± The second Terrence finished speaking, the hall instantly went silent. Irvin remained silent for a long time with a livid face. He didn¡¯t know how to answer. Keyon calmly put down his fork and quietly watched the excellent show. Terrence obviously didn¡¯t intend to waste any more of his time on them. He left with Alexa. After getting in the car, he was instantly no longer indifferent or aloof. He just looked a bit serious. ¡°What are you thinking about?¡± Alexa was still thinking about the grudge against Irvin. ¡°How to deal with Irvin?¡± ¡°No.¡± Terrence curled his lips slightly, and the coldness in his eyes slowly disappeared. ¡°I was just thinking that I should havee with you this morning.¡± ¡°You are here anyway.¡± ¡°Yes. I was worried.¡± Alexa was no longer vignt. She rubbed against his chest intimately. ¡°Where is Damar?¡± ¡°Dad and Mom came to thepany and took him to y.¡± ¡°I see,¡± Alexa smiled more gently, ¡°Then shall we go over and join them as well?¡± ¡°No hurry.¡± Terrence changed the topic and kept her in suspense. ¡°I prefer spending time with you alone.¡± ¡°Eh?¡± ¡°Edwin, go to Rose Garden.¡± ¡°Yes, Mr. Ramsey.¡± Not long after, their car steadily stopped in front of a restaurant. It snowedst night in the eastern suburbs, and now some workers were clearing the snow outside. Terrence got out of the car first and then reached out to hold Alexa. ¡°Watch your step.¡± ¡°What is this ce?¡± Alexa asked curiously, and then she smelled the heavy fragrance of flowers. ¡°It smells so good.¡± ¡°It¡¯s roses.¡± After Terrence finished speaking, a gentle and polite middle-aged man came in front of them. ¡°Terrence.¡± ¡°Beckett.¡± Beckett Wace patted Terrence on the shoulder and then smiled at Alexa. ¡°I¡¯m sure this is Mrs. Ramsey.¡± ¡°Yes. This is my wife, Alexa,¡± Terrence introduced Alexa to Beckett seriously. ¡°Hello, Beckett.¡± Alexa greeted Beckett gracefully, making him delighted. ¡°Nice to meet you. The meal is ready. Come in and have a seat.¡± Entering the door, Alexa saw the roses. The snow that had yet to melt was still on the branches, making the dark rose petals look colder and lonelier. ¡°Beckett, you are as good at growing roses as ever,¡± Terrence sighed. ¡°You¡¯re ttering me. I don¡¯t have many things to do, so I like spending time with nts.¡± C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. After saying that, Beckett stood in front of an elegant room. ¡°Please.¡± There was a stove in the room, and the windows were slightly open. A faint fragrance floated over, and the room was warm. ¡°What a nice ce.¡± ¡°The roses here this year are the best,¡± Terrence said gently, ¡°I figure that you¡¯ll like them. It¡¯ll be nice to take a break here.¡± ¡°I feel so much better already.¡± ¡°I¡¯m d to hear that.¡± Terrence looked at Alexa¡¯s rxed smile and was very pleased. Not long after, Beckett called the waiter to serve the dishes. ¡°They are all mytest designs. You are the first ones to try out.¡± After saying that, Beckett solemnly presented a delicate te to Alexa. ¡°Alexa, Terrence said that you feel cold easily. I made it for you.¡± The moment the te was ced in front of Alexa, she smelt something sweet and soft, mixed with rose fragrance. ¡°Its name is ¡®Fragrance From the Past¡¯. The rose pedals you are looking at are freshly picked.¡± ¡°Thank you, Beckett.¡± ¡°Enjoy yourself.¡± After saying that, Beckett called the others out, leaving only Alexa and Terrence in the elegant room. Chapter 302 Chapter 302 Chapter 302 It¡¯s Good to Have a Home Alexa tasted the soup. The soft, sweet warmth instantly flowed through her entire body. ¡°It¡¯s delicious.¡± She revealed a look of approval. Only then did she realize that Terrence was looking at her seriously. Alexa¡¯s cheeks were slightly red, and she was a little embarrassed to be stared at by him. ¡°Would you want some?¡± Enter title¡­ As she said this, she nned to grab another spoon. Terrence, however, grabbed Alexa¡¯s wrist in time and leaned over to finish the rest of the soup on her spoon. ¡°We are a couple for long enough now. There¡¯s no need for that.¡± He said casually, yet she felt that her cheeks were burning. ¡°What¡­ couple¡­¡± It was as if these words were hard to pronounce. Alexa said in a very low voice, and even she did not hear what she had said clearly. Terrence deliberately leaned closer and asked her. ¡°What?¡± ¡°Nothing!¡± Alexa dodged his gaze in a panic. Yet she had nowhere to escape. ¡°I heard what you said anyway.¡± ¡°Then I won¡¯t repeat it.¡± Alexa said firmly. Then she immediately picked up a shrimp and fed him. ¡°Eat.¡± Terrence nodded with satisfaction as if he was tasting some top- notch delicacies. ¡°The shrimp that my wife fed me herself has a unique vor indeed.¡± ¡°What vor?¡± ¡°The vor of love.¡± Alexa was speechless. The meal was a novel experience utterly. Also, it inarguably made Alexa rx a lot. When Alexa and Terrence left Rose Garden, Beckett sent her a gift. ¡°This is the lipstick I developed myself. The color matches you.¡± ¡°Thank you, Beckett.¡± After getting in the car, Alexa was still carefully studying the gift box in her hand. Terrence watched her quietly. Alexa remained still. ¡°Why don¡¯t you wear it?¡± Hearing his voice, Alexa came back to her senses. ¡°I didn¡¯t wear makeup today. I wouldn¡¯t look good.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not true.¡± Terrence replied seriously and then took out the lipstick for her. Before Alexa realized what Terrence was going to do, he had already leaned his handsome face closer to her. Then she smelt a slightly cold fragrance, and her lips felt something cold. Terrence was very professional at applying lipstick. Alexa even wondered if he had some special training. ¡°Done.¡± He put the lipstick away and naturally adjusted the hair on her temples. Alexa looked at her lips carefully through the camera on her phone. She had fair skin and exquisite facial features. She was beautiful and elegant even without makeup. Moreover, Terrence¡¯s ¡°work¡± was not inferior to a professional stylist at all. However, Alexa thought of something. She pursed her lips, and a look of inquiry shed through her eyes. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, you are so skilled at this. Do you often practice it?¡± she asked tentatively. Terrence instantly tensed up and sensed Alexa¡¯s intention. ¡°Yes.¡± He nodded honestly. ¡°Really?¡± Alexa couldn¡¯t help but exim in surprise. Her tone changed instantly. ¡°I knew it!¡± She angrily turned her face away, the jealousy in her heart wildly growing. ¡°Know what?¡± Terrence asked despite knowing the answer. ¡°You know what I¡¯m talking about.¡± Alexa said impatiently and took her hand back from his grumpily. Looking at the woman in front of him, who was like an angry kitten, Terrence chuckled. ¡°You are so fond of these kinds of things. Of course, I need to get to know them,¡± he exined slowly, a smile hidden in his eyes. ¡°So, I specifically learned from professional makeup artists and am always ready to be at your service.¡± Alexa could no longer remain her pretense. She was trying her best to pretend that nothing had happened. Yet Terrence quietly approached and carefully sized up her expression. ¡°Given your reaction, is it safe to say that you were jealous?¡± ¡°Nonsense. How is that¡­¡± ¡°You are blushing.¡± ¡°It¡¯s hot in here.¡± Alexa replied firmly and looked out the window with a rosy face. Terrence looked at theptop screen quietly and seriously. Suddenly, he felt pressure on his right shoulder. He tilted his head slightly. Alexa had already fallen asleep peacefully leaning against his shoulder. She looked calm when she was asleep. Her thick and long eyshes fluttered from time to time, and she looked just like a cat that had just enjoyed a meal. Terrence carefully put a nket on her body. Then he adjusted his sitting position so that she could sleep morefortably. When Alexa woke up, the car happened to stop at the entrance of the Ramsey¡¯s old mansion. ¡°Lazy kitten. You are awake.¡± Hearing Terrence¡¯s teasing voice, Alexa waspletely awake. ¡°Huh? How long have I been asleep?¡± ¡°Half an hour.¡± Terrence said and deliberately twisted his arm. ¡°My shoulder is so sore from your head. It hurts¡­¡± As he spoke, he gasped.This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org. Alexa came back to her senses and asked in a serious tone. ¡°How are you feeling? Are you OK?¡± ¡°Not at all.¡± ¡°Let me see.¡± ¡°Just think about how you can make it up to me.¡± Terrence¡¯s deep eyes suddenly shed with a sly smile. ¡°Or, I¡¯ll let you know as soon as I figure it out.¡± Meeting his meaningful gaze, Alexa suddenly realized something. ¡°I see. You are teasing me.¡± ¡°No. I don¡¯t dare.¡± Alexa ignored his rney and pounded his shoulder. ¡°Liar!¡± Terrence smiled even more happily and followed her inside. Knowing that Terrence and Alexa wereing back, Rebekah had already told the staff in the kitchen. The servants were all busy working in an orderly manner. The elegantly decorated mansion was filled with a lively atmosphere, ready to celebrate the New Year. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Mrs. Ramsey.¡± Quinten Carter, the housekeeper, nodded respectfully. ¡°Your parents are in the backyard together with your son.¡± ¡°No need to inform them. We¡¯ll go to them,¡± Alexa said in a gentle voice. Terrence nodded and kept holding her hand. Terrence and Alexa walked to the corridor together and saw the three. Damarion was wearing a lovely red winter coat, looking like a delicate doll. Right now, he was sitting in the baby chair, apanying Jason to read seriously. Rebekah was sitting in front of a small red y stove, brewing coffee quietly. The scene was so harmonious and quiet that no one could bear to intrude. Alexa looked at them, and she suddenly had the urge to cry. Although she quickly collected herself, Terrence still noticed that something was wrong. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± he asked in a low voice. She could maintainposed at first, yet she lost control the moment she heard his question. ¡°Nothing. I just suddenly feel that it¡¯s good to have a home.¡± Terrence¡¯s gentle gaze immediately was filled with tenderness. He pulled her into his embrace. The slightly cold but familiar fragranceing from him made her feel a lot more at ease. ¡°We will never be separated again.¡± ¡°We will not.¡± Alexa nodded and silently coveted his embrace. The phone in her bag suddenly rang. Alexa nced at the caller ID and smiled at Terrence. ¡°Go ahead. I¡¯ll be right back.¡± Chapter 303 Chapter 303 Chapter 303 A Shotgun Marriage After Terrence left, Alexa immediately walked away and answered the phone with a slightly sullen face. ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°Ms. Duran, the new treatment n has been made. When can youe over?¡± The man sounded emotionless, yet his voice made Alexa extremely uneasy. ¡°As soon as possible.¡± Enter title¡­ ¡°OK. If you feel dizzy, find it hard to breathe, or even faint, pleasee to us right away.¡± ¡°I see. Thank you, Dr. McMin.¡± They ended the call shortly after. Alexa stared at the phone screen for a while and suddenly felt depressed. When she went back to Terrence and the others, he instinctively held her hand. ¡°What dragged you so long? Do you need my help?¡± ¡°Nothing serious.¡± Alexa shook her head leisurely. ¡°It was just some work handover.¡± ¡°OK.¡± Terrence nodded, and they skipped the topic naturally. ¡°Alexa looks better now.¡± Rebekah caressed Alexa¡¯s cheek lovingly. ¡°Terrence, take care of Alexa.¡± ¡°I will.¡± ¡°If you are busy, let Damar stay with Jason and me.¡± Rebekah was kind of joking, yet Terrence took it seriously. ¡°No need. I have a lot to deal with in thepany, but I always have time to take care of Alexa and Damar.¡± Rebekah chuckled. Everything went without saying. ¡°Someone is so clingy,¡± she teased meaningfully. ¡°I¡¯m afraid that Jason and I won¡¯t be allowed to spend time with Alexa for even just ten minutes.¡± ¡°Rebekah¡­¡± Alexa¡¯s voice was so soft, and she blushed. Even Terrence¡¯s palm was a bit hot. Alexa subconsciously looked sideways at him, and Terrence looked away, which was a first. ¡°Lunch is ready. Let¡¯s go,¡± Jason greeted happily. In such an environment, Alexa soon forgot the phone call. However, Finley¡¯s words were still lingering in her mind. She couldn¡¯t make them go away. After lunch, Terrence went back to the office to work. Jason and Rebekah were ying with Damarion. Seeing that they were enjoying themselves, Alexa did not disturb them. ¡°Jason, Rebekah, I¡¯ll leave Damar with you. I need to take care of some work,¡± Alexa said. ¡°Alright!¡± Rebekah agreed at once. She and Jason were more than happy to take care of Damarion. Damarion perfectly inherited Alexa and Terrence¡¯s merits. He was cute and honey-tongued. However, Rebekah then thought of something and warmly took Alexa to the side. ¡°Alexa, is this too much for you?¡± Seeing Alexa a little surprised, Rebekah smiled briskly. ¡°If you feel tired, you might as well have a good rest. Nothing is more important than your own health.¡± ¡°Rebekah, I¡¯m fine.¡± Alexa held Rebekah¡¯s hand, indicating that Rebekah didn¡¯t have to be worried. ¡°You know what? There are some things that Terrence can handle perfectly,¡± Rebekah reminded subtly. ¡°I know you are a kind woman, but there is no need to put up with it when others are out of the line.¡± ¡°Thank you, Rebekah. I understand.¡± With that, Alexa left thoughtfully. Rebekah walked back in silence. She bumped into Jason, who happened to walk out of Damarion¡¯s room. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Who messed with you?¡± Jason lovingly pulled her into his arms. C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. Rebekah frowned in dissatisfaction. She was no longer dignified or elegant. ¡°Jason, someone bullied your daughter-inw. Shall we step in?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± Jason snorted, his eyes full of disdain. ¡°Who gave the Niebergall family the nerve to trifle with us? ¡°It¡¯s outrageous. They don¡¯t think Alexa is alone out there, do they?¡± Rebekah arrogantly straightened her sleeves and put on an air of domineering nobility. ¡°I¡¯ll meet that formidable Mrs. Duran.¡± When Rebekah and Jason arrived at the Duran¡¯s vi, Giselle was throwing a tantrum in the living room. ¡°I already said I don¡¯t want to see her things. Why are they still here?¡± ¡°Ms. Niebergall, these are very important to Ms. Duran. We have no right to deal with them.¡± The maid exined in a trembling voice. A hot mug filled with coffee suddenly hit her and fell apart right at her feet. ¡°Ah¡­¡± She screamed in horror, and in the next second, she stopped abruptly. Every time she got scared, Giselle would act worse. ¡°Stop crying! You are so annoying!¡± Giselle picked up a pillow and threw it at the maid. Giselle¡¯s delicate face was twisted and terrifying. ¡°Get out!¡± The maid covered her face and stumbled out. Giselle was still angry. To her surprise, she saw Rebekah and Jason at the door the next second. ¡°Well, well. What¡¯s going on?¡± Rebekah spoke slowly, calmly looking at the scene in front of her. Giselle¡¯s expression suddenly changed, and she instantly put on a gentle smile. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Mrs. Ramsey, hi. Sorry that you have to see that. Please have a seat.¡± ¡°Rebekah, we seem to havee at a bad time. Looks like Ms. Niebergall is busy,¡± Jason said with a kind smile. ¡°Not at all.¡± Giselle¡¯s expression was slightly stiff. ¡°The maid knocked over a coffee mug. I scolded her a bit.¡± Rebekah smiled and asked her assistant to put the gift on the table. When Giselle saw the precious jewelry, her eyes lit up instantly. ¡°Actually, we should have paid a visit earlier.¡± Rebekah spoke slowly. Giselle sensed that something was wrong. ¡°However, Alexa had some unpleasant experiences here, so we are here a few dayste.¡± ¡°Unpleasant experiences?¡± Giselle forced a smile. ¡°Why didn¡¯t she tell me?¡± ¡°Ms. Niebergall, you haven¡¯t been here for a long time, so there¡¯s something you don¡¯t know.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± ¡°Alexa is very independent. She won¡¯t easily tell strangers what she is thinking.¡± Hearing the word ¡°strangers¡±, Giselle curled her lips. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mrs. Ramsey, I¡¯m afraid there has been some misunderstanding.¡± Giselle held her waist, and the fake smile on her face became brighter. ¡°Keyon and I share a shotgun marriage, and that makes me his legitimate wife.¡± ¡°Well, that¡¯s great.¡± Rebekah was not hysterical, but Giselle was getting angrier. Meanwhile, there was a noise outside the door. ¡°Jason? Rebekah? Why are you here?¡± Alexa asked in surprise. ¡°Alexa, we are here to pay a visit to your brother and sister-in-w.¡± Keyon stood beside Alexa and respectfully nodded. ¡°Hello, Jason, Rebekah.¡± ¡°Hi,¡± Jason responded without a smile on his face. Alexa had a faint idea of what was going on. She silently walked to Jason and Rebekah. ¡°Jason, Rebekah, shall I sit with you for a while?¡± ¡°No need, Alexa. We are here to take you home.¡± Chapter 304 Chapter 304 Chapter 304 He Has Been Missing for a Week For a moment, the atmosphere was awkward. Rebekah and Jason pulled long faces. Alexa could tell that they were angry. However, Giselle was not frightened at all. Instead, she sat on the side with an unhappy face. Atst, Keyon broke the deadlock. ¡°Rebekah, Jason, it¡¯s rare to see you here. Why don¡¯t we take the opportunity to get together?¡± Enter title¡­ ¡°Thanks, Mr. Duran. But I don¡¯t think Mrs. Duran is happy to see us here,¡± Rebekah politely refused. Rebekah mocked Giselle subtly several times in just a few minutes, humiliating Giselle more each time. ¡°I think there might be some misunderstanding.¡± Keyon was still polite. ¡°I wonder if you can give me and Giselle a chance to apologize to you.¡± ¡°Keyon¡­¡± Giselle said angrily. Just as she was about to say something, she stopped, as she met Keyon¡¯s cold eyes. ¡°No need. Goodbye.¡± Rebekah held Alexa¡¯s hand. After that, she and Jason left with Alexa without looking back. After getting in the car, Alexa said to them tentatively. ¡°Dad, Mom, I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m putting you out again.¡¯ ¡°Alexa, why do you say that?¡± Jason¡¯s gaze immediately became warm. ¡°Rebekah and I wanted to meet that arrogant Ms. Niebergall in person in the first ce.¡± ¡°She is nothing but a joke.¡± Rebekah was full of disdain. Alexa wanted to say something, but in the end, she just shook her head. ¡°In fact, I don¡¯t care about her at all. She can¡¯t do anything.¡± ¡°She needs to know that there are certain people that she can¡¯t afford to mess with.¡± Rebekah narrowed her eyes. ¡°Otherwise, she will bepletely out of control sooner orter.¡± ¡°Sure, Mom.¡± Alexa nodded. Her heart was warm. When they got home, Terrence immediately called Alexa. ¡°Are you home yet?¡± ¡°Yes. I came back with Rebekah and Jason.¡± ¡°I always feel that your hands and feet are very cold. Why don¡¯t we go to the hot spring tonight?¡± Terrence asked in anticipation, his tone even carrying a cautious probing tone. He was like a boy who had just fallen in love. Alexa chuckled, and the exhaustion deep down vanished. ¡°Great. Shall I wait for you at home?¡± ¡°OK. I¡¯lle back as soon as possible.¡± They lived happily and peacefully, just like a normal couple. However, the truth might say otherwise. Alexa stared at her phone screen for a long time, sitting alone on the swing in the backyard garden. She just talked to Keyon. She had to leave this time. It was just a matter of time. And when would she be back? Alexa looked at the withered red roses not far away. His eyes were a little sore, dry, and painful. Finley told her that the treatment this time was full of uncertainties, so the consequences were unpredictable. However, she had no choice. It was her only hope. When Alexa returned to the country this time, she wanted a clean break from everything, yet things went contrary to her wishes. She couldn¡¯t stick to the end, after all. Alexa looked helplessly at the foggy sky. Her phone rang again. It was Lh this time. ¡°Dr. Bisley?¡± ¡°Ms. Duran, have you heard from Dr. Powell?¡± Lh sounded hasty. Alexa did not react for a while. ¡°What? We haven¡¯t talked in a while.¡± ¡°Do you have any idea where he might have gone? He has been missing for a week. Yesterday was supposed to be his check-up for his manic depression, but he still didn¡¯t show up,¡± Lh continued. Missing¡­ Manic depression¡­ These words kept lingering in Alexa¡¯s mind. Somehow, she felt a bit dizzy. ¡°How could this be?¡± Lh was about to cry, and she pleaded hastily. ¡°Ms. Duran, I don¡¯t know where he lives. Could you please help me look for him¡­¡± Alexa thought for a moment and suddenly recalled an address. ¡°OK. I will go and find him now.¡± After hanging up the phone, Alexa drove to Kieran¡¯s apartment at once. Nights in New York arrived fast. It seemed to snow again. When Alexa arrived at the door of Kieran¡¯s apartment, the street lights had already lit up. She pressed the doorbell and asked worriedly. ¡°Dr. Powell, are you home?¡± No one responded. ¡°Kieran? Kieran?¡± Alexa knocked on the door. She was utterly nervous. ¡°If you¡¯re at home, can you say something to me?¡¯ As soon as she finished speaking, Alexa heard some soundsing from inside. ¡¯I heard something. Open the door.¡± A momentter, the lock snapped, and the door opened a crack. Alexa pushed the door and went inside immediately. In the next second, she was shocked by the scene in front of her. The living room, once simple and clean, was a mess. A strong smell of alcohol filled the room, the curtains were tightly closed, and the lights weren¡¯t on. Only a faint light shone in the room. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Hearing the hoarse and weak voice, Alexa turned around. There was a figure in the corner. He was dressed in a white house suit, his hair was disheveled over his eyes, and his jaw was covered with stubble. If not for his slender and well-defined hands, Alexa wouldn¡¯t have recognized that the person in front of her was Kieran. He lowered his head and did not look her in the eye. Alexa was not afraid. She slowly squatted down in front of him without any defense. After a moment of silence, she asked. ¡®Why did you drink so much?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± ¡°Have you been like this for the past few days?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Dr. Bisley couldn¡¯t reach you. She has been worried sick. So, I¡¯m here.¡± ¡°OK.¡± No matter what Alexa said, Kieran would respond softly, but that was all. She stared at him quietly and realized that Kieran was trembling slightly. ¡°The floor is cold. Get up, OK?¡± ¡°Are you here to pity me?¡± ¡°No. I was just worried about you,¡± Alexa answered truthfully. Kieran was always a reliable, polite elite in front of Alexa. He made her think that he was so powerful to the point that¡­ he would never get hurt. Yet now, he looked so hurt. ¡°Have you eaten? Are you hungry?¡± ¡®What¡¯s the date today?¡± ¡°Today is the 24th.¡± Alexa replied as she picked up the shopping bag and went to the kitchen. This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org. ¡°I bought some ingredients. Dinner will be ready soon.¡± Kieran was still sitting in the corner, quiet as if he would vanish at any second. ¡°Today is the 24th already¡­¡± Only then did Alexa notice that there was a scar on his arm. After fixing something, she found the first aid kit. His wound had not scabbed yet. It looked fresh. ¡°It might hurt a little. Bear with it.¡± Hearing herself, Alexa pursed her lips helplessly. The person in front of her was the most excellent medical expert in New York, but now it seemed that she was the doctor. ¡°How did you get the wound? Chapter 305 Chapter 305 Chapter 305 Make Up for Her With Me Kieran did not answer her question. Instead, he said to himself, ¡°Today is exactly eight years since she died.¡± She? Before Alexa could react, Kieran picked up the bottle next to him. She quickly snatched the bottle away, only to find that the ss shards on the side were stained with dried blood. In the blink of an eye, Alexa could not help but frown. Enter title¡­ ¡°Don¡¯t drink anymore. What do you want to do to yourself?¡± ¡°She was doing just fine. Suddenly, somehow, her body began to fail rapidly.¡± Alexa was stunned and listened to him speak. ¡°At that time, I chose to learn medicine to treat her, but I still failed to save her.¡± Kieran slowly raised his head, his bloodshot eyes full of pain and regret. ¡®When I pick up the scalpel, I¡¯m omnipotent in many people¡¯s eyes, but I¡¯m nothing¡­¡± His voice gradually weakened. ¡°That night, she was lying in the bed in the ICU, and she was so skinny. I held her in my arms, feeling her body turn cold bit by bit¡­¡± The room was silent for a long time. Finally, Alexa moved her lips with some difficulty. ¡°Are you¡­ OK?¡± She carefully raised her hand and ced it on Kieran¡¯s shoulder, her heart filled with mixed feelings. ¡°You have already tried your best.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Kieran met her gaze guiltily. ¡°From approaching you till sending you out of New York¡­ It was all because¡­¡± ¡°It was all because you wanted to make up for her with me?¡± Alexa said every word he wanted to say urately, and Kieran stopped talking in an instant. However, there was no displeasure in her eyes. ¡°I know. I know it all.¡± Alexa¡¯s tone was utterly gentle. ¡°So, thank you.¡± ¡°I have nothing to be thankful for. People like me¡­¡± ¡°Enough.¡± Alexa interrupted him in time, stood up, and reached out to him. ¡°Get up. I¡¯m going to the kitchen to cook.¡± Kieran was a little stunned, and he gawked at her. ¡°You ¡­ are not afraid of me?¡± ¡°Why should I?¡± ¡°I have never dared to tell you that I¡¯m suffering from manic depression. I¡¯m sorry.¡± ¡®Why should you be sorry?¡± Alexa asked rhetorically in session,pletely confusing Kieran. ¡®Everyone has their own secrets. You are allowed to have secrets.¡± Kieran curled his lips slightly, held her hand, and stood up. Seeing that he was fine, Alexa was a little relieved. ¡°Take a rest. I will call you when the food is ready.¡± ¡°Let me,¡± Kieran said instinctively. ¡°You probably aren¡¯t used to cooking. I¡¯m worried that you¡¯ll get hurt.¡± ¡®I won¡¯t,¡¯ Alexa subconsciously blurted out. ¡°I learned a few things from Terrence. I¡¯ll be fine.¡± In an instant, the glimmer in Kieran¡¯s eyes disappeared. He forced out a bitter smile and said, ¡°Alright then. I¡¯m going to take a shower.¡± Soon, the sound of water came from the bathroom. Kieran stood under the shower, allowing the cold water to overwhelm him. His body was almost covered in wounds. The blood trickled down his body until it was thin. It was a shocking scene to see in the dim bathroom. In the past few days, he had been suffering from manic depression, and he hated the light. Therefore, the lights had been basically off. Yet when Kieran changed his clothes and went out, the living room was bright. Alexa put thest dish on the table and then filled two tes of pasta. ¡°Perfect timing. Dig in. See whether I can be a cook or not,¡± Alexa greeted him warmly. Kieran sat down in front of her and looked at the dishes in front of him carefully. ¡®They look great. Thank you.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t mention it,¡± Alexa said with a smile. His thin lips, which had been tightly pursed, finally curved up slightly. ¡°I have already told ra and Dr. Bisley so that they won¡¯t worry about you.¡± ¡°OK.¡± Kieran nodded, looking no different from a well-behaved child. He ate very politely and elegantly, but he never stopped eating. It seemed that he was really hungry. ¡°You haven¡¯t been eating properly these days, have you?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have an appetite.¡± ¡°Still, you¡¯ve got to eat. You need to be responsible for your body,¡± Alexa said earnestly. ¡°OK. I will remember.¡± Alexa tried her best to persuade him for a long time, and then she suddenly caught a glimpse of the clock on the wall. ¡°It¡¯s already eight o¡¯clock?¡± She eximed in a low voice and immediately put down the fork. Then she picked up her phone. In the next second, Alexa almost cked out. Terrence called her twenty times. Other than that, there were fifty unread messages. Seeing that she was a little flustered, Kieran asked sincerely. ¡°Did something happen? Is there anything I can help you with?¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine¡­¡± Alexa replied stiffly. She braced herself, took her phone, and went to the Balcony. ¡°I¡¯m going to take this.¡± After going to the empty yard, Alexa finally picked up the phone. ¡®Where are you?¡± This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org. Terrence sounded a little unhappy, while at the same time, his anxiety was also obvious. ¡°I¡­ am outside. I have something to attend to.¡± ¡°Oh? What is it?¡± ¡°I¡¯m meeting up with a friend from college.¡± Alexa thought that her answer was wless, yet Terrence chuckled. ¡°Silly,¡± he said with a sigh. ¡°Has anyone ever told you that you¡¯re really bad at lying?¡± She didn¡¯t say anything. ¡°I know you¡¯re at Kieran¡¯s ce. Come out. I¡¯m at the door.¡± ¡°You ¡­ are at the door?¡± ¡®What is it? Are you surprised? Or are you saying that I can¡¯t be here?¡± ¡°Of course, you can.¡± Alexa smiled awkwardly and answered tentatively. ¡°Wait for me. I¡¯ll be there in a second.¡± ¡°I have been waiting for you for an hour anyway. A while longer doesn¡¯t make any difference.¡± Terrence deliberately emphasized hisst sentence. Alexa was startled and felt a chill down her spine. She returned to the living room. Kieran seemed to have known her intention. ¡°Are you leaving?¡± ¡°Yes. He is waiting for me outside.¡± ¡°OK.¡± He nodded and walked to the door with her. ¡°I¡¯ll send you off.¡± ¡®Thanks, but no. Go back and eat. I¡¯ll go out myself.¡± Kieran¡¯s golden-brown eyes suddenly dimmed a little. ¡°I have caused you so much trouble today. I just want to do something that is within my power.¡± Seeing how fragile he was, Alexa felt bitter. ¡°You did not cause me any trouble. We are friends. This is what friends do. Besides, you have helped me so many times,¡± she smiled brightly. Kieran sent her to the door as he wished just in time to see Terrence get out of the car. ¡°It¡¯s cold outside. Go inside. Bye.¡± As soon as Alexa finished speaking, Terrence pulled her into his arms firmly, his entire body filled with hostility. Kieran met Terrence¡¯s gaze. There seemed to be a smile in Kieran¡¯s eyes. Chapter 306 Chapter 306 Chapter 306 You Will Always Be My Priority Sensing the hostility that Terrence revealed, Alexa immediately grabbed his hand even tighter. There was nothing she needed to say. She could only use this method for the time being to calm him down. Unexpectedly, Terrence was getting morecent and even deliberately raised his hand to show Kieran that his hand was held by Alexa. As expected, Kieran¡¯s expression changed slightly. The corners of Kieran¡¯s mouth curled into a sneer, and he said in a sarcastic manner, ¡°Goodbye, Mr. Powell.¡¯ Enter title¡­ After getting in the car, Alexa immediately said. ¡°He is a patient. Why are you targeting him?¡± Her unintentional reminder made Terrence feel more jealous instantly. His expression immediately became serious, as if he wouldn¡¯t listen no matter what she said. ¡°He is conscious and can move freely. What a patient he is?¡± Terrence gritted his teeth. ¡°He is more like a liar.¡± Alexa didn¡¯t have time to say anything because Terrence continued. ¡°He is one of those who will deceive naive and kind people.¡± Alexa was speechless. After a few seconds, Terrence asked with an unnatural tone. ¡°What did you do at his ce? If I didn¡¯te here, would you spend the whole night chatting with him?¡± ¡°How could that be possible? I just went to make dinner,¡± Alexa exined immediately. ¡°Dinner?¡± Terrence was even more furious. He held her hands and looked at them carefully. ¡°I never let you into the kitchen when you were at home. You have such delicate and smooth hands. What if they were burned and left scars? Someone would cry and feel sad for quite a while.¡± Alexa did not say anything and stared at him. After confirming that she was not injured, Terrence was relieved, but he did not feel better. But you rushed over to be his cook.¡± Seeing that Alexa did not answer him, Terrence was a little flustered and softened his tone the next second. ¡°What dishes have you cooked?¡± ¡°Those you usually cook for me,¡± Alexa answered truthfully, ¡°I have also learned a few.¡± Hearing this, Terrence smiled with satisfaction. ¡°So the dishes you cook for him also have connections with me.¡± For a moment, Terrence¡¯s anger vanished and he even felt sweet in his heart. Alexa could not understand why Terrence would have such a strange desire to win. He turned to look out the window. She turned her head and looked out the window. ¡°It¡¯s sote. We can¡¯t go to the hot spring now, right? Sorry¡­¡± Alexa¡¯s spirit was a little low. ¡°We have made an appointment.¡± ¡°Who said that?¡± Terrence exined, ¡°We are now on the way to Sapphire Hill. How can I fail you? I have promised you.¡± ¡°Really? That¡¯s great!¡± ¡°Do you love me more now?¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°Those men outside can¡¯tpare to the man at home, right?¡± Alexa could not help but chuckle and subconsciously gave him a hug. ¡°Yes, you are the best!¡± ¡°Not sincere enough.¡± Seeing the confused look on Alexa¡¯s face, Terrence seriously suggested. ¡°What did you call me?¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey.¡± ¡°What?¡± His gaze began to be dangerous. ¡°Then¡­ Honey¡­¡± Alexa blushedpletely. ¡°Speak louder. I didn¡¯t hear you.¡± Well, he was teasing her, right? Alexa curled up her lips into a sly smile with a cunning look on her face. She leaned close to Terrence and whispered in his ears. ¡°Terrence.¡± After saying that, Alexa quickly sat back on the seat and didn¡¯t see Terrence¡¯s red ear. Terrence got stiff, but very soon, he suppressed the emotion that was about to lose control in his heart. Obviously, Alexa did not know how dangerous the consequences would be when she teased him just now. He cleared his throat in an unnatural way, and his voice was a bit hoarse. ¡°We¡¯re almost there. What do you want to eat?¡± Alexa was enjoying teasing him and still wanted to see the look on his face when he restrained himself. ¡¯You.¡± Hearing this, Terrence slightly gritted his teeth and looked at her with a halfsmile. ¡°Are you sure?¡± Alexa was certain that he would not dare to do anything to her right now. Anyway, there was still time before they reached Sapphire Hill, and they could end this topic very soon. However, before Alexa could continue to tease him, the car stopped suddenly. Terrence¡¯s smile grew wider, which made him look like a cunning fox. Alexa noticed that something was wrong and immediately said. ¡°Actually, I want to have mutton stew.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Terrence got out of the car first and reached out to her. When he held Alexa¡¯s hand, he felt like holding amb. ¡°It seems that you are not hungry now.¡± As he spoke, Terrence took her to the room they were going to stay in tonight. ¡°We should do something more interesting.¡± ¡°What¡­ What?¡± Alexa started to y dumb. ¡°Who turned me on just now?¡± Terrence approached her with an evil smile. ¡°What? Are you going to deny what you just did?¡± ¡°Actually¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay if you don¡¯t remember. I will help you recall.¡± ¡°Terrence¡­¡± ¡°Of course, I will do my best to meet Mrs. Ramsey¡¯s requirements.¡± Alexa pursed her lips and suddenly said. ¡°Are you okay now?¡± ¡°You tell me,¡± Terrence replied word by word. The light in the room didn¡¯t light up. Before Alexa could see the furnishings in the room, Terrence had already pressed her down. When she woke up again, she felt weak all over. Alexa also felt sore all over, and suddenly, she heard Terrence chuckle. The more she thought about it, the angrier Alexa became. She picked up the pillow from the side, but she did not have the strength to throw it at him. ¡°I¡¯m hungry,¡± Alexa said, letting go of the pillow. ¡°Dinner is ready,¡± Terrence considerately said, ¡°Do you want to have them bring it here?¡± ¡¯No need. I can¡­¡± Before Alexa could finish her words, she knew that she was wrong.Shey back on the bed again and sighed heavily. ¡°I can¡¯t.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t force yourself. You should have a good rest.¡± Terrence lovingly caressed her hair. Soon, the food was sent over. The warm and mellow mutton stew smelled so good. Alexa had a good appetite as she smelled the fragrance of it. Terrence took out a te and sat by the bed, scooping up the mutton to feed Alexa. Alexa did not refuse and ate silently. C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. She was actually hungry. ¡°Eat more,¡± Terrence suddenly said gently, ¡°Only when you are full will you have enough strength.¡± Hearing this, Alexa choked. For some reason, she blushed. A mischievous smile appeared on Terrence¡¯s face. He pretended to be puzzled and asked. ¡°What are you thinking about? Can you tell me?¡± ¡°No¡­ I didn¡¯t think about anything.¡± ¡°I see.¡± Terrence nodded and gave her a meaningful look. After dinner, Alexa had her energy back. She wanted to go to the hot spring, but Terrence was still sitting at the desk and dealing with business affairs. ¡°You want to go out? Let¡¯s go, then.¡± Terrence closed the pen lid and was about to get up. ¡°I¡¯m not in a hurry. You can work on your business.¡± You are always my priority. Chapter 307 Chapter 307 Chapter 307 Son-in-Law Terrence got up and held Alexa¡¯s hand without a word. The indoor hot springs here were all designed by him, so he didn¡¯t need to worry that Alexa would be cold. However, Alexa was confused when she got the bathrobe. ¡°How¡­ How am I going to wear it?¡± Alexa studied it for a moment. The whitece swimsuit in her hand was so sexy that Alexa couldn¡¯t help but blush when she held it in her hands. In the end, she looked at Terrence, who kept silent aside. ¡°Terrence, did you choose this?¡± Terrence cleared his throat. His ears were a little red. ¡°I didn¡¯t know.¡± Alexa smiled and teased, ¡°Mr. Ramsey actually likes this style.¡± ¡°Which style?¡± ¡°You tell me,¡± Alexa imitated his tone and repeated what he said. Terrence stiffly lowered his head and looked at Alexa, who had a big bright smile on her face. ¡°I just think you will look good in it.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Alexa had her own ns and effortlessly had him under control. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go change it.¡± Even so, Alexa still blushed when she put the swimsuit on. She stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself. The design of this swimsuit was very exquisite. The lines perfectly framed her body figure, and thece covered her private areas vaguely. Alexa stepped out barefoot and smiled as she stood in front of Terrence and bent over. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, I¡¯m ready.¡± He looked back in surprise and saw Alexa. But the next second, he looked away. ¡°What? Don¡¯t I look good?¡± Alexa asked deliberately. ¡°No, not at all.¡± ¡°Then why don¡¯t you look at me?¡± Alexa pushed her luck and teased, ¡°Or you don¡¯t like it?¡± ¡°I like it very much.¡± Terrence said word by word, looking like he was about to sweat. ¡°Why is your face so red?¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Terrence pretended to be calm as he raised his hand to pull his tie. But then, he suddenly realized that he was in casual clothes now. Terrence¡¯s hand stopped in mid-air, and he was so embarrassed that he did not make the next move. Alexa picked up the phone and waved it in front of him. ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± She said calmly, ¡°I need you to take a few photos of me. I¡¯m going to Instagram them.¡± ¡°Instagram?¡± Terrence repeated what she said as if he had heard something terrifying. Suddenly, he grabbed her wrist and walked to the dressing room. ¡°Wait? What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Nothing. I just realized that this swimsuit doesn¡¯t suit you.¡± ¡°Really? You didn¡¯t say that just now!¡± ¡°I changed my mind.¡± In the end, Terrence and Alexa picked a rtively conservative swimsuit together.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org. But even so, Terrence could not help but still stay alert. Alexa was born an attractive creature. Even an ordinary style of clothing would look extremely charming on her. Terrence wrapped his arm around her waist, and the line of her waist almost made him lose control. Alexa happily picked a pond with rose petals and pushed open the wooden door. Then, she immediately smelled the warm water vapor with the fragrance of roses. ¡°Be careful.¡± Terrence held her hand and slowly let Alexa step into the pond. When Terrence entered the pond with her, Alexa did not dare to move around again. ¡°Why don¡¯t you say something?¡± Alexa was in a daze as she said, ¡°What do you want me to say?¡± Terrence chuckled and pulled Alexa into his arms. ¡°What you said just now, say it again.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t remember what I just said.¡± Alexa quickly flinched and did not have the courage to tease him as she did just now. After all, Terrence looked really dangerous now. ¡°Then sit tight,¡± Terrence let go of her and said, ¡°There are also some medicinal herbs in this hot spring. It will warm you up.¡± ¡°I feel so weak,¡± Alexa said slowly, ¡°Just like ice cream. I¡¯m going to melt.¡± Alexa said it casually. However, Terrence seemed strange and said stiffly. ¡°Don¡¯t say that¡­¡± ¡°What?¡± Alexa had a puzzled look on her face. Terrence looked away awkwardly and seemed to be blushing again. Did she say something wrong just now? Alexa was puzzled and changed the topic. ¡°This ce is amazing. If only Damar is also here.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you want to be with me alone?¡± Terrence quickly replied, but Alexa could tell that there was a trace of grievance and jealousy in his tone. How can he even be jealous of his own son? Alexa did not know whether tough or cry. She had never known that Terrence would be so childish sometimes. ¡°Damar cane with us next time,¡± he exined. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°But this time, we are going to be alone. I just want to be the only one in your eyes,¡± Terrence said in a serious tone. Alexa blinked and did not know how to respond for a moment. This hot spring is really effective¡­ My face has already burned in such a short time. ¡°What do you think?¡± Terrence persistently asked, eager to get an answer. ¡°What do you mean by putting on this aggrieved look on your face?¡± Alexa couldn¡¯t bear it anymore and touched her waist. ¡°My injury¡­ It still hurts!¡± ¡°Let me give you a massage.¡± ¡°No¡­¡± Before Alexa could say no, Terrence reached out and massaged her waist gently. A momentter, Alexa felt much better. The soreness in her waist disappeared a lot. ¡°How do you know it would work?¡± Alexa was a little surprised. ¡°Because I often put my hands on it.¡± ¡°Shut up.¡± Terrence apanied her to enjoy the hot spring for quite a while. When they returned to the room, it was almost the middle of the night. ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°What for? It is my honor to spend such a beautiful night with you,¡± Terrence said sincerely. ¡°Well, it is also my honor.¡± Alexa smiled, rxed. She had not been able to be so rxed for a long time. After returning to the room, Alexa was sleepy. But suddenly, she received a call. ¡°Alexa, haven¡¯t you slept yet?¡± Alexa¡¯s face changed dramatically when she heard this voice. She immediately stood up and went to the balcony. Terrence cast a nce at her, but he did not follow her out. Half an hourter, Alexa came back and looked preupied. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Terrence was alert. ¡°Is it Kieran?¡± ¡°No.¡± Alexa shook her head tiredly and rubbed her eyebrows. ¡°My parents areing to New York.¡± Alexa had a serious look as she said so. ¡°They want to see you.¡± For a moment, the room was terribly quiet. A few secondster, Terrence seemed to have understood what she meant. ¡°They¡­ They want to see me?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa nodded. The roots of her ears were red as she continued, ¡°Because you are their son-inw, so they want to see you.¡± Terrence breathed heavily and looked more nervous than she was. ¡°You don¡¯t want to see them?¡± Alexa quickly said, ¡°In fact¡­¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m willing to. Of course, I want to see them as well.¡± Terrence held her hand, and his palm was sweaty. ¡°But what should I do?¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°They are my parents too. I don¡¯t want to leave them with a bad impression. So,what should I do?¡± he asked resolutely. Chapter 308 Chapter 308 Chapter 308 Meet Her Parents ¡°Are you nervous?¡± Alexa asked. ¡°No, I¡¯m fine. I¡¯m not nervous.¡± Terrence didn¡¯t want to admit it. Alexa saw through him and said, ¡°I know you are. Don¡¯t be too nervous, because I am also nervous.¡± Terrence was lost for words. Alexa actually felt distant from her biological parents. The Duran family was a big family. Both her father and her mother would take care of all the family affairs, and they often looked dignified and serious. Alexa was always careful when she was home because she was afraid that she would cause any trouble. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I will do my best.¡± Terrence hugged Alexa in his arms and gently patted her back tofort her. However, both of them didn¡¯t fall asleep until the middle of the night. The next day at dawn, Alexa heard a rustling sound in the room when she woke up. She subconsciously fumbled beside her but touched nothing. Alexa immediately sobered up and picked up her phone to check the time. It was only five o¡¯clock now. ¡°Did I wake you up?¡± A gentle male voice sounded. Terrence came out of the bathroom in a towel. Alexa breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still puzzled. ¡°Why are you up so early?¡± Terrence didn¡¯t sleep wellst night. He only slept for one or two hours at best. ¡°Two hours of sleep is enough for me,¡± Terrence said calmly. ¡°We have important things to do today. I have to prepare in advance. We can¡¯t make any mistakes in today¡¯s meeting.¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± Alexa was still sleepy and answered vaguely. Then she heard Terrence continue to say. ¡°I have already arranged everything after they arrived, including the vi your parents are going to check in, our dinner, their sightseeing n, and so on.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°Considering that your parents might have problems with food here, I have arranged a medical team, including nutritionists and family doctors.¡± Terrence reported to her in high spirits. Alexa heard him talking and did not ¡°Do you think there is anything else needed to improve, Alexa?¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey,e here.¡± ¡°What?¡± Even though Terrence was puzzled, he still immediately walked over. Alexa wrapped her arms around his neck, looking like she was his homie. ¡°Don¡¯t be so nervous. You need a good rest.¡± Terrence repeated, ¡°I¡¯m not tired. Really. I¡¯m not tired at all.¡± ¡°You¡¯re not a robot. How can you not be tired?¡± Alexa felt sorry for him and continued to say. ¡°People will get dumb if they don¡¯t rest well.¡± ¡°I will not.¡± ¡°Giselle is pregnant. Their focus will definitely be on Keyon. We have nothing to worry about at all.¡± Terrence was speechless. But he nodded and agreed. ¡°Okay. You have the final say.¡± After arranging everything, Terrence took a nap with Alexa. There were still two hours before the flight arrived. They set off to the private airport of the Duran family. Alexa wore a set of ssic white and gold dresses today, and Terrence especially picked a suit that matched her dress with the same color. When they showed up together, they attracted a lot of attention at once. In people¡¯s eyes, they were a perfect match. Alexa took Terrence¡¯s hand and walked into the airport hall. She did not expect that Keyon and Giselle had already arrived. It was cold, but Giselle wore a thinyer today. The design of her dress perfectly outlined her waist. Her stomach looked a lot rounder. When they met, all of them didn¡¯t know what to say for a moment. Alexa turned her gaze to Keyon and greeted him with a smile. ¡°Keyon, you guys came so early.¡± ¡°I just arrived. I have some hot milk. Would you like some?¡± Keyon replied in an easy tone. Before Alexa said anything, Terrence refused him. ¡°Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Duran. But I will take care of Alexa. I don¡¯t think it¡¯s safe for her to eat something from others.¡± When Terrence said this, he deliberately held Alexa¡¯s hand tighter so that Keyon could see their hands clearly. Terrence wanted to show off, and he had already achieved his goal. A brother would never like his brother-inw. The more Keyon looked at Terrence, the more he disliked him. Keyon did not say a word. He turned his head and looked away, not wanting to have any more eye contact with Terrence. Sensing that Keyon was unhappy, Giselle held his arm. ¡°Keyon, let¡¯s get over there to take a seat. I¡¯m so tired.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa watched them leave, expressionless and distracted. At this time, Terrence walked in front of her and carefully adjusted her hairpin. ¡°There are a few locks of hair.¡± As he spoke, he had already deftly tidied her hair up. ¡°Do you feelfortable in this pair of high heels? Did they rub your foot?¡± Terrence continued, ¡°I also brought a few pairs of shoes when we came out. Do you want to change them?¡± Hearing this, Alexa gave him a big smile. ¡°No, they didn¡¯t rub my foot. There is no need to change them.¡± ¡°Are you tired?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not tired. Don¡¯t worry about me. I¡¯m not a porcin doll,¡± Alexa whispered. ¡°You are my wife. If I¡¯m not worried about you, who else should I be worried about?¡± Alexa smiled happily, but Giselle, who was not far away from them, was extremely jealous. Giselle thought, Alexa was kicked out of Vision Group. She has no money, no power. Why exactly does Terrence still love her so much? That woman is not as gorgeous as a fairy! Giselle¡¯s face was terribly twisted with jealousy, and she didn¡¯t even notice Alexa looking at her. Alexa caught the hatred on Giselle¡¯s face, but then, she just looked away with a smile. Soon, they heard the roaring of the ne. They all stood up and walked towards the waiting room at the same time. Alexa silently nced at Terrence, who waspletely different fromst night. His every movement was gentle andposed, without a trace of tension at all. Christina held Scott¡¯s arm and showed up at the airport hall together. Behind them were dozens of people, including their assistants and bodyguards. However, when they saw Alexa and Keyon, they acted very amiably. Alexa and Keyon greeted Christina and Scott at the same time, ¡°Dad, mom.¡± ¡°Keyon, Alexa. Long time no see.¡± Christina could not wait to hold their hands. ¡°How are you doing in New York?¡± ¡°Everything is fine.¡± After exchanging a few words, Scott looked at Terrence with a half-smile. ¡°Alexa, who is this?¡± ¡°Dad, mom, this is Terrence.¡± Christina sized Terrence up and down before she finally nodded at Scott. ¡°Dad, mom.¡± Terrence politely nodded at them. ¡°Nice to meet you. It¡¯s the first time we meet, and please forgive me if I do anything wrong.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be so formal.¡± Scott said, ¡°Alexa had mentioned you a lot of times before. Now I know what she said about you was right.¡± This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org. Scott chatted with Terrence for a while, and he seemed to be in a good mood. Keyon wanted to introduce Giselle to them, but he didn¡¯t even have a chance to interject. Chapter 309 Chapter 309 Chapter 309 We Are Here to Take You Back ¡°The residence has been arranged. This way, please,¡± Terrence suggested appropriately. ¡°Thank you so much.¡± Scott was quite satisfied with Terrence and patted him on the shoulder in a meaningful manner. Keyon, who was standing aside all the time, had his smile faded a bit. Giselle deliberately showed her belly, but no one cared about her at all. Her face darkened. After thinking for a moment, she said fawningly. ¡°Dad, mom, Keyon and I have also prepared a residence for you as well.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly cooled down. Christina casually nced at Giselle¡¯s belly, a hint of disdain shing through her eyes. Christina had seen a lot of women who tried to marry the rich by getting pregnant. Giselle thought she was smart, but everything she did had ws. ¡°Ms. Niebergall,¡± Christina spoke politely as if she was trying to maintain Giselle¡¯s image. ¡°You and Keyon are not married yet. There is no need to call me mom so soon. It will do no good for your reputation if people know about it.¡± ¡°I see¡­¡± Giselle¡¯s face turned pale, and she did not dare to be rash again. It was Keyon who came out to be a peacemaker. ¡°We are a family. There is no need to argue about where mom and dad are going to stay.¡± ¡°You are right, Mr. Duran,¡± Terrence responded with a faint smile. ¡°Can you give me a detailed address, Mr. Ramsey? So I can visit my parents.¡± Keyon¡¯s words instantly revealed the estrangement between him and Terrence. ¡°Of course.¡± Terrence retorted, not willing to be outdone, ¡°You are always wee, Mr. Duran.¡± Sensing that the two of them were secretlypeting against each other again, Alexa immediately spoke up. ¡°Mom, dad, let¡¯s go back first. It¡¯s been a long trip. You guys must get tired.¡± ¡°Sure, let¡¯s go.¡± Scott nodded and looked at Alexa dotingly. Not long after, the news of Mr. Duran and Mrs. Duran visiting New York spread. Almost all of the rich and powerful families were eager to see them and frequently came to visit them. Alexa and Terrence had been busy apanying them to meet guests all day long. In the evening, they finally had a chance to rest. Alexa entered the room wearily and did not want to move as soon as she copsed on the sofa. ¡°I am so tired.¡± ¡°You have worked so hard today, honey.¡± Terrence knelt in front of Alexa on one knee and carefully helped Alexa take off her high heels. ¡°I can do it myself. You don¡¯t have to¡­¡± Alexa hurriedly got up, but Terrence insisted. The way he held her feet was as if he was treating a precious work of art. ¡°Your ankles are red. Does it hurt? Let me apply some medicine for you,¡± he asked, feeling sorry for her. ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt.¡± Alexa replied, ¡°I just feel my legs are weak.¡± ¡°You should let me know if you feel ufortable next time. Don¡¯t try to be strong.¡± Terrence still maintained the same posture and rubbed her legs carefully. ¡°They will get better after you massage them.¡± ¡°We still have a family dinner tonight. Are we going to set off now?¡± ¡°No need to rush.¡± Terrence carried her to the bed. ¡°It¡¯s just a family dinner. Don¡¯t be so nervous.¡± Then, he threw away the pair of shoes. ¡°Hey, I still have to wear them tonight!¡± Alexa eximed in surprise. ¡°I will get you a pair of ts. If those shoes make you ufortable, then they shouldn¡¯t exist.¡± Alexa smiled and did not say anything else. Terrence was still the same as before. After resting for a while, Alexa felt much better. Before dinner, Terrence prepared a morefortable outfit for her. ¡°You got me.¡± He carefully adjusted Alexa¡¯s cor and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°I know.¡± Alexa smiled sweetly. With Terrence around, she was always at ease. Terrence¡¯s parents would also be attending dinner tonight. By the way, this was the first time that their parents had officially met. Alexa and Terrence thought that their parents would have a good talk when they met, but the truth was the opposite. Alexa and Terrence greeted them before taking their seats. However, the atmosphere in the room did not ease much. Scott and Christina sipped their coffee and asionally muttered with each other as if they had no intention of chatting with Terrence¡¯s parents. Rebekah gave Jason a look. Only then did Jason speak slowly. ¡°Mr. and Mrs. Duran, it¡¯s really our honor that you have traveled far to be here and meet us.¡± ¡°Please don¡¯t say that, Mr. Ramsey.¡± Christina replied with ease, ¡°We haven¡¯t seen Alexa for long. We also wanted toe here to meet our son-inw.¡± Alexa, who had finally rxed, instantly got nervous again. ¡°We watch Alexa grow.¡± Rebekah sounded quite protective of Alexa. ¡°Jason and I always treat Alexa as our own. You can rest assured, Mrs. Duran.¡± Unexpectedly, Christina shook her head. She said meaningfully, ¡°No matter how close she is to her mother-inw, she will always love her biological parents more.¡± ¡°Mom¡­¡± Alexa frowned slightly and instantly realized that there was something wrong with Christina¡¯s words. ¡°I¡¯m fine here. Don¡¯t worry about me.¡± ¡°You are my daughter. How can I not be worried about you?¡± After Christina finished speaking, Scott continued. ¡°Alexa, your mom and I always feel guilty because we owe you so much. Now that we are getting older and older, we don¡¯t know how to make it up to you at all.¡± In an instant, Terrence¡¯s vignce suddenly turned into anger in his heart. He held the knife hard until his knuckles whitened, but he still looked calm. ¡°We came here this time to pick you and Damar back.¡± nk! Alexa cut the te with her knife as she felt dizzy. ¡°Take me back?¡± Her voice was trembling. ¡°Where?¡± ¡°Ice Floral Ind.¡± Christina still maintained her elegance, but her eyes were filled with determination. ¡°You know the condition of your body¡­¡± ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . ¡°I know.¡± Alexa was eager to cover it up, but she answered too quickly. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with your body?¡± Terrence asked instantly. ¡°Alexa isn¡¯t well all the time. You should know about that, Terrence.¡± Christina¡¯s face suddenly darkened and her tone was slightly displeased. Back then, it was Terrence¡¯s fault that Alexa was seriously ill and her life was at stake. Christina had always held a grudge against the Ramsey family because of this matter, so she had never trusted the Ramsey family at all. If it weren¡¯t for Alexa and Damarion still here, they would have already destroyed Hudson Group. ¡°Mrs. Duran, we are capable of providing the best medical treatment for Alexa.¡± Rebekah tried her best to restrain her calmness. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry at all.¡± Alexa listened to them and her mind was a mess. She couldn¡¯t think straight at mall. She clearly felt that Terrence was furious. He should be very angry now. After all, she had never mentioned her illness to him, and Terrence might think that she had already recovered. But her parents hade to pick her up themselves, and there was no room for her to refuse. ¡°Alexa, Dr. McMin is urging us to bring you back. Pack up your luggage and we¡¯ll set out as soon as possible,¡± Scott said. Scott¡¯s words blocked off all of the excuses she could use. Chapter 310 Chapter 310 Chapter 310 I Can¡¯t Let Scott Take Her Away Alexa felt her eyes gradually be wet, and then her vision began to blur. She did not know how she left the hotel with Terrence. By the time she reacted, she was already lying on the bed at home. There was a ss of warm milk on the bedside table. Alexa stared at the ceiling nkly, and it took her a long time to sit up. She felt weak all over and her head ached badly. She pushed open the door and went out. When she reached the stairs, she heard a discussioning from the study not far away. One of them was David, and Alexa heard his voice very clearly. The others chimed in from time to time. All of them sounded very serious. Alexa stood there for a while before she realized that they were discussing her condition. ¡°Although we can¡¯t be one hundred percent sure to cure her, with the current medical treatment, there should be no problem in slowing down her illness.¡± ¡°I need a definite answer.¡± Terrence said firmly, ¡°She has to be fine.¡± ¡°Follow-up treatment has to be based on her recovery situation. If her prognosis is good, then the survival rate will be greatly increased.¡± ¡°You have to continue with the research and development of the new medicine. Hudson Group will provide the funds.¡± ¡°Terrence¡­¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to slow down her illness. I want her to be cured.¡± Terrence slowly spoke, sounding a little tired. David wanted to persuade him, but he did not know how to start. Alexa¡¯s illness was very rare in the world, and it was very tricky to solve. Even if they wanted to create the new medicine, they would have to invest in immeasurable human and financial resources. What was more, they also needed to consider a more critical factor, time. Alexa might not be able to wait until the new medicine was made. David knew that Terrence had thought of it as well, but at this time, they all tacitly chose to remain silent. The other experts still wanted to say something, but Terrence signaled them to take a break and walked out of the study alone. This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org. The moment he opened the door, he met Alexa¡¯s surprised gaze. The two looked at each other without a word. Terrence walked to Alexa and picked her up. ¡°Where are your shoes? You will get cold by stepping on the ground barefooted.¡± ¡°I forgot.¡± Alexa exined in a low voice and shrank into Terrence¡¯s arms, hearing his strong heartbeat. It was some kind of tranquilizer and made her feel extremely at ease. ¡°How much time do I have?¡± Terrence paused and quickly hid the emotions in his eyes. ¡°What are you talking about?¡± He pretended to be calm and whispered, ¡°You will live a hundred years.¡± ¡°I heard what they said just now.¡± Alexa said apologetically and even felt guilty. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I should have told you in the first ce.¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes were full of pity when he looked at her. ¡°You always say sorry, Alexa. But you didn¡¯t do anything wrong. It was me. I didn¡¯t do enough.¡± ¡°I did have my own ns when I returned to New York this time.¡± Alexa held his hand and sobbed. ¡°I wanted Damar to meet you. That¡¯s all.¡± ¡°I know.¡± Terrence nodded and gently tucked her into the quilt. ¡°Well, don¡¯t think too much.¡± He gentlyforted her, ¡°Have a good sleep. I will always be with you.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Terrence lit a scented candle to help Alexa fall asleep and then sat down beside her. But Alexa did not feel sleepy and just stared at him for a long time. As Alexa stared at Terrence, her eyes became wet again. ¡°What are you thinking about?¡± Terrence wiped away her tears with his finger, feeling sad in his heart. ¡°I¡¯m thinking about Damar.¡± ¡°He is with mom and dad. He will be fine.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Alexa¡¯s relieved appearance scared Terrence a little bit. ¡°Get good sleep. I will bring Damar back tomorrow.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t sleep.¡± Alexa sighed heavily and rested her head on hisp. She rarely took the initiative to be so intimate with him. Terrence gently stroked her hair and brushed a lock of hair behind her ear. ¡°I¡¯m flustered.¡± ¡°Do you want me to ask David to prescribe some medicine for you?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to take medicine.¡± Alexa was acting more and more like a child. Now that she would instinctively resist when she heard the word ¡°medicine¡±. ¡°Fine. Then don¡¯t take medicine.¡± Terrence immediately changed the topic. ¡°Then I will lie down with you, okay?¡± Alexa nodded and let Terrence lie down. She was extremely sober right now, and she clearly remembered what she had just heard outside the study. Although Terrence told her not to worry, Alexa knew that the person who was most worried now was actually him. Silence fell into the room, and then, she heard quiet breathinging from beside her. Terrence was tired during this period of time, and he indeed needed a good rest. Alexa silently and affectionately stared at his face, as if she was going to imprint his face in her memory. These years of treatment had made her forget a lot of things, but what she wanted to remember was actually not much. She closed her eyes in Terrence¡¯s arms, but a momentter, her phone suddenly rang. Alexa didn¡¯t want to wake Terrence, so she immediately got up and took the phone to the balcony. ¡°Mom¡­¡± Alexa mustered all her courage to speak. The night wind seemed to shatter her voice to pieces. ¡°Why did you retort to your father and me in front of them tonight, Alexa? Your father and I are doing this for your own good. Don¡¯t you understand?¡± Christina asked sternly. ¡°I¡¯m sorry to trouble you.¡± Alexa said humbly, but there was no emotion in her eyes. She could not be a coward who would only cry when encountering difficulty. Christina paused. Alexa was ready to be scolded by her. But suddenly, someone took the phone from Alexa¡¯s hand. Terrence draped the nket over her and then calmly replied. ¡°Mrs. Duran, it¡¯s me, Terrence.¡± Christina obviously did not expect Terrence to be with Alexa. After a moment of silence, Christina suddenly hung up the phone. Alexa peeked at Terrence with a guilty look, but Terrence¡¯s face didn¡¯t change at all. ¡°Let me handle it if you encounter such a thing next time.¡± ¡°You were asleep. I didn¡¯t want to wake you up.¡± ¡°You wouldn¡¯t. On the contrary, I am honored to be trusted and relied on by you.¡± Terrence wrapped his arms around her shoulder. It was not until before dawn that Alexa fell asleep. Terrence quietly left the room. The moment he went out, his face darkened terribly. ¡°Did the Duran family make any moves?¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Jovan has already started working with the Duran family. I was informed tonight,¡± Edwin said worriedly. ¡°It seems that Scott is in a hurry.¡± ¡°Their target is probably the Hudson Group. Mr. Ramsey, what should we do next?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care if they are going to target Hudson Group or not.¡± Terrence said coldly, ¡°I can¡¯t let Scott take her away.¡± Chapter 311 Chapter 311 Chapter 311 Why Do I Suddenly Like Sour Food? Because Scott was Alexa¡¯s father, Terrence didn¡¯t want to go against him. However, the moment Scott and Jovan colluded, Scott had already stepped on Terrence¡¯s bottom line. After dealing with the matters here, Terrence sat alone on the sofa for a while. He wanted to have a drink now, but alcohol would only make his brain go numb. A momentter, a Rolls-Royce slowly drove into the vi. Terrence immediately got up and went out when he saw Rebekah get out of the car with Damarion in her arms, and Jason stood aside. It was sote, yet Damarion was still awake and his eyes were red. It was obvious that he had just cried. The moment Damarion saw Terrence, he pouted and immediately reached out to Terrence with a grievance. Terrence took Damarion into his arms and patted him gently on the back. ¡°You and Alexa are not at home. Damar is always crying.¡± Rebekah said with worry. ¡°He didn¡¯t even eat much tonight. Jason and I were worried, so we sent him over.¡± ¡°Alexa is already asleep. I¡¯ll take care of Damar,¡± Terrence said softly. ¡°How are her parents?¡± Jason asked. ¡°I¡¯ll talk to them tomorrow.¡± ¡°We can¡¯t let them take Alexa away.¡± Jason said firmly, ¡°The Duran family is constantly in conflict. If they really cared about Alexa, they wouldn¡¯t have found her after so many years.¡± Scott waspletely capable of tracking down the clues of Alexa¡¯s background. Terrence was lost in his thoughts and did not reply. He made some baby food for Damarion. Damarion didn¡¯t fall asleep contentedly untilte at night. Terrence did not sleep for almost a night, but the next day, he still went out for his appointment. When Alexa woke up, she did not see Terrence. However, she inexplicably felt sick when she got up. Perhaps she had caught a coldst night. Alexa did not want Terrence to worry about her, so she went to the hospital alone. After the examination, she finally came to the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics. The doctor took the diagnosis results and congratted her. ¡°Ms. Duran, congrattions. You have been pregnant for a month.¡± Alexa¡¯s face turned pale instantly. The news shocked her so badly. Alexa forced a smile and asked weakly. ¡°Is there a possibility of misdiagnosis?¡± ¡°All the indicators are very clear. It is impossible for us to misdiagnosis.¡± Seeing the hesitation in Alexa¡¯s eyes, the doctor immediately put away her smile. ¡°Do you not intend to keep this baby?¡± Alexa lowered her eyes and said nothing. The doctor said earnestly. ¡°You should discuss it with your husband first. This is a baby, after all.¡± ¡°Okay, thank you, doctor.¡± Alexa replied and left, absent-minded. It was still early, so she sat on the bench in front of the hospital for a while. Alexa was still holding the report in her hand, but she did not have the courage to read it. There was a new life growing in her body right now. It would be a lie if she said that she was not happy. But¡­ Alexa knew that her body condition could not breed the child at all. She had already owed Damarion and Terrence so much. How could she drag an innocent life into this mess? At this time, Giselle happened toe out of the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics. She had her hand on her waist and deliberately propped her belly in an exaggerated manner. ¡°Mrs. Duran, isn¡¯t that Alexa?¡± Hearing the servant¡¯s voice, Giselle looked over with hostility. And then, she saw Alexa sitting alone on the bench. What is Alexa doing here? Giselle suspiciously narrowed her eyes. Just as she was about to go over and check out what was going on, Keyon walked over. ¡°What are you looking at?¡± ¡°Keyon, I saw¡­¡± Before Giselle finished speaking, she looked over again and found that Alexa was gone. It was strange. ¡°Nothing.¡± Giselle immediately said, ¡°I might see it wrong. Let¡¯s go.¡± Soon, Alexa walked into a nearby pharmacy and got some mifepristone. Before she could take the pills, Terrence called and he sounded very worried. ¡°Where are you, Alexa?¡± Hearing his voice, Alexa felt like crying and sobbing, as if someone had choked her neck and she could not speak. ¡°I¡­¡± Alexa squeezed out a word, but she couldn¡¯t continue. But even so, Terrence still noticed her sobbing. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid.¡± Heforted her gently and said patiently, ¡°I¡¯ll be there very soon.¡± Alexa held back her emotions and gave him the address of the street. ¡°Wait for me for ten minutes. I will be there as soon as possible.¡± Terrence did not hang up and kept talking to her. Alexa also responded to him and gradually calmed down. ¡°I¡¯m here.¡± Hearing this, Alexa saw a silver Maybach steadily stop beside her. Terrence got out of the car and walked up to her with a coat. He still looked worried. ¡°You came out alone? Why didn¡¯t you call me?¡± Alexa looked strangely cute since she was wrapped inyers andyers. ¡°The weather is good today, so I was thinking about taking a walk.¡± Hearing this, Terrence looked up at the sky. It was a cloudy day today, and it looked like it was going to snow at any time. ¡°It will get very cold at night. You should put moreyers on.¡± Terrence said as he adjusted her scarf. Finally, he held Alexa¡¯s hands and was slightly relieved when he felt the warmth from her hands. ¡°Actually, I don¡¯t want to go back so early.¡± Alexa said slowly, looking at him expectantly. ¡°Shall we go to the night market to take a look?¡± ¡°Sure,¡± Terrence agreed without hesitation. The night market in New York was very crowded. There were many types of snacks and some street vendors selling small interesting things. Alexa was not hungry, but when she smelled the food, she suddenly had an appetite. But Terrence never allowed her to eat street snacks at all. ¡°Look at that lollipop, it¡¯s so beautiful¡­¡± Alexa subconsciously tugged at his sleeve. Her meaning was obvious. ¡°You can¡¯t eat too many street snacks.¡± Terrence reminded her like he used to do, but he still went to buy her a lemon-vored lollipop and handed it to her. Alexa took it and happily took a bite. The sweet and crispy lollipop with a sour taste burst out in her mouth. The taste was very appetizing for her. ¡°Why do I suddenly like sour food so much?¡± She teased meaningfully, ¡°Could it be¡­¡± This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org. ¡°Impossible,¡± Terrence answered quickly. ¡°What?¡± Alexa was a little surprised. ¡°Why are you so sure?¡± ¡°Giving birth is very harmful to your body. I can¡¯t let you take the risk again.¡± Alexa suffered a lot when she gave birth to Damarion. Terrence couldn¡¯t help but me himself every time he thought about it. ¡°Let nature take its course.¡± Alexa sighed and never brought up this topic again. She was tired from shopping, so Terrence took her to a French restaurant nearby. Chapter 312 Chapter 312 Chapter 312 Sacrifice for the Family Terrence ordered a few dishes Alexa loved, but when Alexa saw the greasy food, she lost her appetite. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . She forced herself to eat some fruit sd and then did not eat anything else. Seeing that she didn¡¯t have a good appetite, Terrence asked with worry. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Don¡¯t you like the good?¡± Alexa shook her head and even yawned. ¡°I¡¯m just not hungry.¡± ¡°Are you tired from shopping just now? Let¡¯s go back and have a rest.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Alexa sat down and supported her head with great interest. ¡°I will wait for you to finish eating.¡± She knew that Terrence had been very busy recently, so he should not have had a good meal. ¡°I know that you are busy, but you have to take good care of yourself.¡± ¡°Yes, Madam,¡± Terrence said with a smile. ¡°I¡¯m serious,¡± Alexa grumbled. Terrence nodded seriously. ¡°So am I.¡± Alexa¡¯s hand that was under the table quietly reached into her handbag. When she touched something, her face turned slightly pale. She hesitated for a long time, and her hand holding the report was covered in sweat. But in the end, Alexa still did not tell Terrence about this matter. Just hang on a second. Maybe I should wait for a few more days, thought Alexa. She barely managed to convince herself and restrained her restless mood, not telling Terrence what had happened. Terrence did not notice Alexa¡¯s actions. He quickly finished dinner and then sent her back. When he got home, Alexa immediately went to Damarion. Rebekah had just finished feeding him, and now the little guy was excitedly pulling Jason¡¯s paper. ¡°Damarion, don¡¯t do this. It will break grandpa¡¯s expensive paper.¡± Alexa immediately stopped him. Jasonughed happily and hugged Damarion in his arms lovingly. ¡°Damarion is practicing handwriting with me. He will definitely be a great artist in the future.¡± Rebekah alsoughed at the side. Then she patted Alexa¡¯s hand. ¡°Alexa, you must be tired. Go and rest. We will take care of Damarion.¡± ¡°Mom, sorry to trouble you these days.¡± ¡°Never mind. We are a family.¡± Alexa bit her lips and suddenly felt like crying. ¡°Everything will be fine. Don¡¯t worry. We¡¯re with you.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Alexa chatted with Rebekah for a while and then returned to her room. Terrence was taking a bath in the bathroom, and Alexa was sitting by the bed sorting things out. The medicine box was in her palm, and Alexa felt like she was holding something precious. She struggled to get a pill from it but did not bear to swallow it. Alexa¡¯s hands trembled as she covered her lower abdomen. Her eyes were sore, and she could not shed tears. It was life. Innocent life¡­ It was the child who belonged to her and Terrence. If Alexa was in good health, then the child was undoubtedly a blessing gift, and she would definitely not hesitate to give birth to this child. But¡­ Alexa powerlessly lowered her eyes, feeling increasingly guilty in her heart. She was unfortunate, so she didn¡¯t want to create more tragedies. After she was lost in thought for a moment, the sound of a door unlocking came from the bathroom. Alexa panicked and immediately hid the medicine box in her handbag. When Terrence came out in his sleeping robe, he saw Alexa sitting by the bed with a look of shock on her face. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± He chuckled, ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°No¡­ Nothing.¡± Alexa shook her head and forced a smile. ¡°Maybe I¡¯m a little tired.¡± ¡°Wait a minute.¡± After Terrence finished speaking, he left the room. Then he came back with a bowl of nutritious soup in his hand. ¡°This is prescribed by an experienced doctor. I have tried it, and it worked.¡± Alexa wanted to take it, but Terrence did not give it to her. ¡°It¡¯s hot. Let me hold it.¡± As he spoke, he sat down next to Alexa. Then, he fed her carefully. ¡°Terrence, what if I am not here?¡± Alexa suddenly asked curiously. ng¡­ In an instant, the spoon in Terrence¡¯s hand mmed the bowl. Realizing that he had lost hisposure, Terrence hurriedly exined. ¡°Sorry, I¡­¡± ¡°I mean what if I¡¯m not with you.¡± Alexa immediately changed her words. Why did I make it worse? Alexa thought. Alexa stopped speaking in embarrassment. ¡°No matter where you go, I can find you.¡± Alexa was stunned. She did not expect Terrence to answer like this. But his expression was really serious. ¡°I promise, and I will definitely not go back on my word.¡± ¡°Actually¡­¡± ¡°You only need to trust me. I can handle anything else.¡± As the world¡¯s wealthiest family, the Ramsey family was powerful. Besides, Terrence had a wide circle of friends and acquaintances. Terrence was surely able to seed in doing anything that he wanted to do. ¡°I will definitely ensure your safety. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Alexa was originally a little flustered, but now she felt much better. She leaned against Terrence¡¯s chest and fell asleep with great ease. At this time, Giselle received a diagnosis report. ¡°Alexa is pregnant.¡± Shezily lifted her eyelids and said angrily. ¡°Mrs. Duran, we can¡¯t let her stand in our way. Why don¡¯t we get rid of her as soon as possible?¡± Giselle¡¯s assistant said ruthlessly. ¡°No, I want her to give birth to the child.¡± Giselle smiled very proudly, and her arrogant eyes shed with cold killing intent. Thanks to the information Irvin found. Otherwise, Giselle would not have known so many secrets in the Duran family. ¡°The seniors of the Duran family will not let her abort the child. But Alexa¡¯s health doesn¡¯t allow her to give birth to the child. Sooner orter, she will die with the child,¡± Giselle said slowly. ¡°Mrs. Duran, you mean¡­¡± ¡°As long as the Duran family takes her away as soon as possible, they will definitely try to protect this child.¡± At that time, whether Alexa was alive was not important at all. ¡°But how could the Duran family not care about Alexa¡¯s life?¡± ¡°Because she is very disobedient.¡± Giselle¡¯s eyes suddenly turned cold, and she crumpled the report in her hand. ¡°The Duran family and the Ramsey family are enemies. But she still stands with Terrence. She¡¯s indeed bold.¡± Giselle thought, as long as Alexa was gone, I would have a chance to inherit the property of the Duran family. ¡°Send the news to Christina and Scott. Just wait for a good show,¡± Giselle said with a sneer. When Christina learned of the news, she instantly became furious. ¡°Scott, for the sake of the family, we have to keep this child,¡± Christina said angrily, her face darkened. ¡°But what about Alexa?¡± They were silent. A cold light suddenly shed across Christina¡¯s face. ¡°It¡¯s her honor to sacrifice for the family.¡± Chapter 313 Chapter 313 Chapter 313 Christina Comes to Alexa Scott couldn¡¯t bear it, but he didn¡¯t say much in the end. At four o¡¯clock the next morning, Alexa quietly got up. Terrence held her hand. Alexa was afraid of waking him up, so she released her hand lightly and went to the bathroom quietly. There was a bottle of unopened pills in her bag. Finley told her that she should take it when she was sick again. This was the first time Alexa had picked up this medicine bottle in so many years. Last night, her entire body was in so much pain that she couldn¡¯t sleep. She had managed to endure it until now, but she suddenly didn¡¯t want to take the medicine. There were a lot of side effects of this medicine. She wasn¡¯t even sure what the consequences would be after she took the medicine. Alexa lowered her head, not even daring to look at herself in the mirror. She must look terrible now. While she was deep in thought, someone knocked on the door. ¡°Alexa, are you in there?¡± It was Terrence¡¯s voice. Alexa immediately pulled herself together, trying to calm down. ¡°I¡¯m here.¡± ¡°Well, is there anything I can help you with?¡± Terrence asked very tactfully. In fact, he woke up when Alexa got out of bed just now, but he did not want her to worry, so he had been pretending to sleep. But five minutes had passed, and Alexa still didn¡¯te back. Terrence was worried. ¡°Nothing.¡± Alexa hid the medicine bottle and then opened the door with a calm look. ¡°It¡¯s just that there¡¯s a pimple here. I¡¯m not happy.¡± She pointed at the red dot on her face and was acting like a spoiled child. Terrence looked at it seriously and smiled. ¡°It¡¯s not ugly at all. Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll help you put on the medicine.¡± ¡°Did I wake you up?¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m used to getting up early.¡± After Terrence finished speaking, he found the ointment. Alexa was carried back to the bed by him. Terrence sat next to her and carefully applied the cool ointment to her face. The gentler he was, the guiltier Alexa felt. After applying for the medicine, Terrence never slept again. ¡°It¡¯s still early. Don¡¯t you want to sleep a little longer?¡± Alexa held the corner of his clothes. ¡°You didn¡¯t have a good rest.¡± Hearing this, Terrence knelt down on one knee in front of her with a smile in his eyes. ¡°Well, that¡¯s easy to solve.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± He raised his hand and tapped the side of his face, saying expectantly. ¡°Give me a kiss, and I won¡¯t be sleepy.¡± Alexa was a little surprised. A momentter, she smiled and asked. ¡°Is that all?¡± ¡°Are there any additional rewards?¡± Terrence asked politely. As soon as he finished speaking, Alexa held his neck intimately and kissed him gently behind his ear. She deliberately left a lip print and said intimately and proudly. ¡°Oh no, I left a lip print on your face. What would you do?¡± Terrence¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He didn¡¯t expect Alexa to be so good at flirting. ¡°I¡­¡± He said in a daze, ¡°I won¡¯t hide it.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Alexa deliberately asked, ¡°What if the paparazzi catch it? You¡¯ll be in the news headlines.¡± ¡°It¡¯s my honor to be in the news headlines with you.¡± After saying that, Terrence tucked her in and let her continue to rest. Damarion had already woken up and was having fun in the living room. After seeing Terrence, Damarion came over to him. As soon as he hugged Terrence, Damarion refused to let go. Even Jason, who had always been serious, smiled when he saw the scene. ¡°Just take Damarion to thepany.¡± ¡°OK.¡± Terrence readily agreed and brought Damarion to thepany. After they left, Alexa quietly went out. Twenty minutester, she came to the hospital alone. It was the same doctor who received her. The doctor sighed resignedly after learning that Alexa did not change her mind. ¡°The child is still in its stage, so you can use medicine to have a miscarriage.¡± The doctor looked through the other examination reports with a serious expression. ¡°In fact, your health doesn¡¯t allow you to have another child. Otherwise, you will face great risk.¡± Alexa wanted to ask the doctor if there was a way to turn the tide. But there seemed to be no hope at all. Alexa, being fidgety, took the medicine and walked out of the outpatient department. She booked a room in a nearby hotel and nned to deal with it there. However, just as Alexa took out her identity card, a figure appeared behind her and snatched the medicine away. Alexa turned around in surprise, only to meet Christina¡¯s sharp gaze. ¡°Mom¡­¡± She called out to Christina guiltily, her voice trembling. Christina gave her assistant a look. Within two minutes, only the people she had brought were left in the originally lively hotel. ¡°What medicine is this?¡± Christina asked coldly. Those people quietly surrounded Alexa and blocked her way out. Christina did not wait for Alexa to answer and took out the medicine on her own. When she saw the descriptions, Christina sneered coldly. ¡°Your father and I came to pick you up, but you were not willing to go back with us. So you wanted to hide in New York to get rid of the child? That¡¯s the bloodline of the Duran family.¡± Alexa quickly hid the panic in her eyes and replied fearlessly. ¡°This is the child of our enemy. It doesn¡¯t deserve to live in this world.¡± Christina sneered.Her expression was cold, and she clearly did not believe Alexa¡¯s words. ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . ¡°Alexa, have you gotten too caught up in that show? How could I believe your words?¡± She took a step forward and looked at Alexa. Then she gazed at Alexa¡¯s belly. ¡°We will never allow the family bloodline to stay with others,¡± Christina said aggressively. ¡°Damarion and this child must return to the Duran family in the future.¡± ¡°No¡­¡± ¡°Alexa, why are you so insensible?¡± Christina frowned, very dissatisfied. ¡°You really let me down.¡± ¡°I can go back with you, but you have to let my child and family go.¡± ¡°Your child is the Duran family¡¯s child.¡± Christina paused and smiled, ¡°And your family are us.¡± ¡°No, the Duran family has nothing to do with me,¡± Alexa denied decisively. ¡°You!¡± Christina was angered by Alexa¡¯s rebellious attitude. After taking a deep breath, Christina managed to calm herself down. ¡°Finley.¡± ¡°Yes, Madam.¡± Finley responded calmly and walked to Christina¡¯s side. When Alexa saw him, her heart sank. ¡°From today onward, you will be in charge of taking care of Alexa. Don¡¯t let anything go wrong.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Since everything has been dealt with, let¡¯s return to Ice Floral Ind.¡± Christina gracefully tugged at her shoulder, as if she was talking about an insignificant matter. Alexa had never had the right to decide on her life. Alexa gritted her teeth and silently took a step back. But just as she was about to crash onto the cab, the bodyguards on both sides immediately rushed up to stop her. Finley took out a needle from the medicine box he carried with him and approached Alexa. ¡°Sorry, Ms. Duran.¡± Alexa heard his emotionless voice and felt a stinging pain in her arm. Then she fainted without any consciousness. Chapter 314 Chapter 314 Chapter 314 Christina Takes Alexa Away When Alexa woke up, she found herself lying on a soft bed.She moved slightly, only to find that she had no strength. After a while, Alexa forced herself to sit up and noticed that she was in a room. The sky outside the window was very dark, and she heard a faint roar.She should be on the ne right now. Everything in New York had gone far away from her. Are Terrence and the others looking for me now? Alexa wondered. Alexa wanted to use thisst bit of time to have a farewell with them, but she did not even have the chance to say goodbye. Her eyes were sore, and tears streamed down. The sound of a door lock suddenly broke the silence in the room. Alexa was shocked. She quickly raised her hand to wipe away her tears and stared at the door warily. The person who entered the room was Finley. He was wearing a cold beige uniform, and he was holding a te full of food in his hand expressionlessly. ¡°You¡¯re awake, Ms. Duran,¡± Finley greeted politely. Alexa looked sullen. She ignored him, but she grabbed a pillow next to her and threw it at him. ¡°Get out! I don¡¯t want to see you,¡± she said coldly. Finley didn¡¯t show any emotion. He dodged the pillow and put the te on the table. ¡°The nutritionist has prepared the meal for you. I¡¯ve checked it. You can have it without worry.¡± ¡°I told you to get out. Don¡¯t you hear it?¡± ¡°Ms. Duran, your current physical condition is not stable. You¡¯d better not be excited. Otherwise, I am not sure whether something worse will happen.¡± ¡°Where¡¯s my phone?¡± Finley didn¡¯t answer and directly handed her phone over. Alexa was a little surprised. ¡°You can use your phone, but your call will be monitored.¡± As if she had not heard anything, Alexa directly found Terrence¡¯s phone number. At this time, Christina appeared at the door. ¡°We haven¡¯t reached Ice Floral Ind yet. Don¡¯t rush to call him,¡± Christina said with a faint smile. ¡°What exactly do you want?¡± ¡°My good daughter, we want the child of the Duran family to be born safe and sound.¡± ¡°What do you want!¡± Alexa was very excited, and her eyes were blood red. Christina wanted Alexa to give birth to the child sincerely. The Duran family had been conducting medical research in recent years. Alexa really did not know their true purpose. Seeing her so agitated, Christina became cold. ¡°In short, you have to listen to me.¡± Christina ordered in a dark voice, ¡°If anything happens to this child, I will destroy everything you care about.¡± Alexa looked pale. She knew that Christina was not joking. In the past few years, Christina had dealt with many of the Duran Group¡¯s branches. She was so cruel that it made one shudder. At this time, Alexa¡¯s phone rang. Her pupils contracted, and she was clearly afraid. But Christina sneered and took a few steps closer. ¡°Why not answer the phone?¡± She said in a gentle voice, ¡°Do you need me to pick it up for you?¡± ¡°Don¡¯te over¡­¡± Alexa stopped her and then answered the phone with trembling hands. ¡°Alexa, where are you? Mom and Dad said you went out this morning. It¡¯s gettingte, so I came to pick you up,¡± Terrence said anxiously. Hearing his voice, Alexa felt that her heart tightened and wanted to cry. But Christina was in front of her. So Alexa could only pretend that nothing had happened. ¡°I am at a friend¡¯s house.¡± ¡°Which friend?¡± ¡°My ssmate in college. You don¡¯t know her.¡± Alexa cried silently, but she still had to force a smile. ¡°I n to stay with my friend for a few more days. Don¡¯t worry about me.¡± Terrence did not answer for a long time. Alexa could not help but clench her hands, afraid that he would notice something. But a momentter, he just chuckled. ¡°Good, enjoy your time.¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± Alexa nodded, and the tears gradually blurred her sight. Before she could react, Christina snatched her phone away and hung up. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Dr. McMin, stay and take care of Ms. Duran,¡± Christina said coldly. ¡°Yes, Madam.¡± After the group of people left, only Alexa and Finley were left in the room. He sat on a chair by the door and did not intend to talk to her. Alexa did not want to see him and said very unhappily. ¡°Go out. I want to sleep.¡± ¡°I was here when you were sleeping. If you close your eyes, you won¡¯t see me,¡± Finley replied without looking up from his book. ¡°I can feel your presence. It makes me feel ufortable,¡± Alexa retorted. ¡°I can give you another tranquilizer.¡± Alexa was afraid that he would do something to her. Therefore, she had to give up. At this time, Edwin had already gathered a hundred data-tracking experts. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, the IP address has been analyzed. Mrs. Ramsey is not in New York.¡± When Edwin reported, he lowered his head with guilt. Terrence stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window without answering, and his face was gloomy. ¡°Keep an eye on them.¡± His voice was t as he said so, and Terrence clenched his hands so tightly that his knuckles turned white. Alexa left me again, Terrence thought. Terrence repeated it over and over again in his heart. She must have been forced. The Duran family trod on my bottom line again and again. It waste at night. Terrence still stood still with a strong aura that no one dared toe close to him. It¡¯s sote at night now. Will she be too scared to fall asleep? Will she still be in pain? Terrence wondered. Terrence was furious just at the thought of this. He hoped that he could immediately destroy the family on the other side of the ocean. After a long period of time, his phone rang again. Terrence thought it was a call from Alexa, but it was from Scott. His eyes were cold, but he tried his best to restrain his anger. ¡°Haven¡¯t you slept yet, my good son-inw?¡± Scott said in a strange tone and sneered in a low voice. ¡°Did you miss my daughter?¡± ¡°What are you going to do to her?¡± ¡°As her parents, we just take her home. After all, it is not safe to let her stay with you.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t push your luck. You should know the consequences of hurting her,¡± Terrence said angrily. ¡°Do you really think that the Duran family is still easy to bully?¡± Scott sneered, ¡°Terrence, I will let the Ramsey family pay the double price.¡± ¡°Name a price.¡± Hearing these words, Scott instantly smiled contemptuously. ¡°Do you think Ick money?¡± ¡°I can give you 320 million dors, but you have to ensure her safety,¡± Terrence said in a low and oppressive voice. ¡°Make sure that she won¡¯t get hurt.¡± ¡°Do you think this is a fairy tale?¡± Chapter 315 Chapter 315 Chapter 315 Go to Ice Floral Ind Scott thought that Terrence would be difficult to deal with, but thetter didn¡¯t seem very smart. ¡°You are not as vicious as your grandfather is.¡± Hearing this, Terrence frowned slightly. However, before Terrence could ask anything, Scott hung up the phone. Alexa should be fine for the time being, Terrence thought. Terrence felt a bit relieved. He wanted to investigate the matter overnight, but Edwin came in with ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . Damarion with a sad face. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Mr. Duran has been crying.¡± Damarion cried very sadly. When Terrence reached out to hug him, Damarion didn¡¯t respond to his hug merrily. ¡°Mom¡­ I want Mommy¡­¡± ¡°Mom will be back soon. Damarion, be good.¡± Terrence coaxed him patiently and instantly put away his sharpness and hostility. In the bright office, only the father and son were left. ¡°Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not hungry.¡± Damarion replied in a childish voice. His bright eyes were still filled with tears, looking very pitiful. Terrence¡¯s heart suddenly felt a stab of pain. He rubbed Damarion¡¯s head guiltily, his eyes full of loneliness. In front of outsiders, Terrence was the omnipotent president of Hudson Group. But the truth was that he could not even protect his own family. ¡°Damarion, I promise that I will bring Mom back safely,¡± Terrence said firmly. He asked the chef to make some food for Damarion. After Damarion ate his fill, he quickly fell asleep. The way Damarion slept was the same as Alexa¡¯s. Terrence smiled slightly and pinched Damarion¡¯s face gently. After sending Damarion home, Terrence saw Rebekah in the living room. She held her phone and looked uneasy. ¡°Mom?¡± ¡°Keyon just called me,¡± Rebekah said with a serious look. ¡°He is looking for Alexa.¡± Terrence was expressionless and faintly replied. ¡°If he wants to know where she is, he can check it himself.¡± ¡°It seems that the Duran family is deeply divided.¡± Rebekah sighed and felt suspicious. If Christina had secretly taken Alexa away from New York, it meant that there must be untold secrets in between. ¡°Terrence, I am very worried about Alexa.¡± Terrence handed Damarion over to Yareli and then wrapped a nket over Rebekah. ¡°Don¡¯t worry and have a rest. I¡¯ll handle this.¡± Rebekah patted the back of Terrence¡¯s hand with guilt. ¡°Your father and I have never cared about these things, but we didn¡¯t expect that the previous hate would get you involved.¡± ¡°Mom, don¡¯t think too much.¡± Terrence was calm and did not vent his anger on Rebekah. ¡°I can solve these things.¡± Rebekah still wanted to say something, but she didn¡¯t want to put pressure on Terrence, so she finally said nothing. ¡°Your father and I to take care of Damarion. Don¡¯t worry about him.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± After smoothing Rebekah¡¯s mood, Terrence did not return to his room to rest but went straight out. It was a sleepless night for Terrence. At Royal Noble Club, Conley had just finished his business and was walking out of the club with a pretty youngdy in his arms. A ck Maybach suddenly stopped right in front of him, scaring Conley out of his drunken state. Before he could react, a figure pushed open the door and got out of the car. Without any exnation, Terrence stepped forward and grabbed Conley¡¯s cor. The girl next to them screamed in fear. Conley was pressed to the side of the car and was stunned for a moment. Conley finally saw theer. Seeing that Terrence was livid, Conley immediately understood that something had happened. ¡°Go away, all of you.¡± Conley said calmly and dismissed the bodyguards who were on guard against Terrence. In less than a minute, Conley¡¯s bodyguards had gone. Conley chuckled and asked jokingly. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Mr. Ramsey? Have I provoked you recently?¡± Terrence, however, did not have the mood to joke with him. ¡°Why are you looking for Derick?¡± Terrence asked in a ruthless voice, ¡°Why did you involve Alexa?¡± Conley instantly put away his dandiacal expression and said seriously. ¡°What do you want to know?¡± ¡°Answer whatever I ask you.¡± Terrence released him and turned to walk into the quiet Royal Noble Club. Conley told him the truth, ¡°I am an intelligence detective. My main task is to collect evidence for my employer. Alexa and I met on Ice Floral Ind, and I have already been employed to check Derick. When she found out about that, Alexa offered to work with me.¡± ¡°What are the conditions?¡± ¡°Send Jovan to prison. Keyon and I are old friends, so for his sake, I agree.¡± ¡°Alexa didn¡¯t have grudges against Jovan. Don¡¯t fool around me!¡± Unexpectedly, Conley only shrugged nonchntly. ¡°She didn¡¯t, but you did.¡± Conley said with a hint of envy in his tone. ¡°Sometimes, I really envy you. You hurt her so badly, but she still loves you.¡± Terrence did not reply, but the coldness in his eyes revealed his current mood. ¡°After she gave birth to Damarion, she has been in bad health. There was a time when she had a fever for three days, and she called your name even when she fainted.¡± Conley recalled what happened back then. ¡°She refused to take medicine when she was sick. Finley was furious back then.¡± ¡°Scott brought her back to Ice Floral Ind.¡± ¡°What?¡± Conley stood up in shock and couldn¡¯t believe it. ¡°No, I have to save Alexa. Does Keyon know about this?¡± Conley anxiously paced back and forth. ¡°He should know now.¡± ¡°Ice Floral Ind is a private ind of the Duran family. Without the permission of the Duran family, ordinary people cannot enter.¡± ¡°I have a n.¡± After that, Terrence left the stunned Conley alone and directly left. Not long after, Edwin got a message. Keyon had already set off for Ice Floral Ind. Terrence drove alone on the coastal road, and he felt so cold. Alexa, you have to wait for me, thought Terrence. At this time, Alexa just woke up from her sleep. ¡°Terrence¡­¡± She murmured his name silently, and her back was covered in a cold sweat. Alexa looked down at the wedding ring on her fingers and calmed herself down. At this time, a t voice came from the door. ¡°Did you have a nightmare?¡± It was Finley! He was actually still here. Alexa looked over with horror and vignce. ¡°I was just sleeping. You don¡¯t have to stay by my side.¡± ¡°This is Madam¡¯s order. What¡¯s more, I¡¯m afraid of anything happening to you,¡± Finley said indifferently. ¡°I won¡¯t do anything stupid.¡± Finley didn¡¯t reply to her. Instead, he got up and lit the aroma oil. ¡°I developed this for you. It will soothe your nerves.¡± ¡°Stop being so hypocritical!¡± Chapter 316 Chapter 316 Chapter 316 Jarrett Appears Finley¡¯s movements paused lightly, but he didn¡¯t say anything in the end. Alexa was like a hedgehog and was defensive. ¡°I¡¯ve improved your treatment medicine. I¡¯ll do my best to protect you and your child.¡± ¡°Humph.¡± Alexa snorted, her eyes full of determination. ¡°How can I let you have your way?¡± Her tone was cold. ¡°I won¡¯t give birth to the child.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t believe that you will do this.¡± Enter title¡­ ¡°How much do you think you know me?¡± ¡°You can¡¯t bear to do that.¡± Finley¡¯s words made Alexa a little stunned. For some reason, Alexa felt that this silent weirdo seemed to know her very well. However, Alexa did not think she had known him. They were on the way to Ice Floral Ind, and it was still early in the morning. Alexa was not sleepy at all, and she felt so dizzy that she wanted to vomit. ¡°Give me your phone.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Ms. Duran¡­¡± ¡°Forget it,¡± Alexa interrupted him very impatiently. However, a momentter, Finley silently handed over his phone. ¡°You can use mine first, five minutes.¡± Alexa nced at it but did not take it. Then sheid down despairingly. ¡°If you¡¯re tired, you can take a nap. I will always be at the door. If you need anything, call me at any time,¡± Finley said. ¡°Can you go out?¡± ¡°Sorry, I can¡¯t.¡± Alexa shut up.She must be crazy to talk to a nerd. There was still a long time to go before morning, but Alexa was sober. Anyway, Finley had just said that if she needed anything, she could call him. ¡°Dr. McMin, please give me a notebook and a pen.¡± ¡°OK.¡± Finley was not angry at all and quickly brought the things that Alexa wanted.She sat under themp and wrote. In fact, all she could see along the way was clouds and starlight. Alexa wrote down whatever she could remember. In the end, Alexa didn¡¯t know what else she could write, so she repeated writing Terrence¡¯s name. She missed him, and the further they were, the more she missed him.It was not until the nended smoothly that Alexa put down the pen. At this time, Alexa heard a slight movement behind her.She turned around warily and saw that Finley had already gotten up. The next moment, a few maids pushed the door open and entered the room. ¡°Ms. Duran, please change your clothes. Madam will be attending the banquet with you,¡± said the person in the lead. ¡°A banquet?¡± Even if Alexa asked, they would not answer her. Each and every one of them was like a robot, including Finley. Alexa could only take the dress and go to the locker room. The dress didn¡¯t show her waistline, so others couldn¡¯t see that she was pregnant. Before she left, Alexa quietly hid the pen she had just used on her. Christina was already waiting at the door. She was dressed very luxuriously today. It could be seen that she attached great importance to this banquet. Alexa walked to her side with an indifferent look. ¡°Alexa, are you not happy today? Why aren¡¯t you smiling when you attend the banquet with your mother?¡± Christina asked with a gentle smile. Her taunt words made Alexa feel disgusted, but under pressure, Alexa could barely force a smile. Walking out of the airport, Alexa saw dozens of limited-edition Rolls-Royce waiting for them. Alexa followed Christina into the car and quickly arrived at the main hall of the banquet. Everything was arranged in a very luxurious manner, indicating that there would be honored guests coming. ¡°I will take you to see a guestter. You should know the basic etiquette, right?¡± ¡°I know.¡± Christina nodded in satisfaction. She did not reveal the other¡¯s identity. However, when Alexa saw Jarrett get out of the car, her face turned pale. He was the youngest jewelry merchant in France and also the partner of the Duran Group. Two years ago, Scott and Christina had intended to marry Alexa to Jarrett. But Alexa had refused at the time, so they had set their sights on Kieran. But now it seemed that the honored guest Christina was talking about was Jarrett. Jarrett was wearing a navy suit, and his gentlemanly aura was particrly outstanding in the crowd. Alexa was still in a daze when someone suddenly grabbed her arm. By the time Alexa came to her senses, Christina had already led her to Jarrett. ¡°Alexa, greet Mr. Sheldon.¡± ¡°Nice to meet you again, Christina,¡± Jarrett greeted politely. Seeing his deep smiling eyes, Alexa just wanted to escape. However, Jarrett had already shifted his attention to her.He stretched out his right hand toward her and smiled more brightly. ¡°Ms. Duran, nice to meet you again.¡± ¡°So do I.¡± Content held by N?velDrama.Org. Alexa only nodded slightly and did not intend to shake hands with him. However, Jarrett did not mind. Instead, he joked. ¡°I said that we are destined to be together, so we will definitely meet again.¡± ¡°Really? I didn¡¯t remember you saying that,¡± Alexa smiled distantly. Alexa was not interested in staying here any longer, so she found an excuse to hide in the lounge. Alexa felt like vomiting, but Finley was not by her side at this moment. She endured nausea and washed her hands several times on the washstand. Even though she had not contacted Jarrett, Alexa felt that her hand was stained with his breath. However, when she looked up, she saw Jarrett in the mirror. He stood behind her calmly, looking like he was watching a show. ¡°Are you dodging me?¡± ¡°Mr. Sheldon, you thought too much. I¡¯m not familiar with you,¡± Alexa said as she dodged to the side warily. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. We¡¯ll be familiar with each other soon.¡± Jarrett said slowly, a cold light shing across his shrewd eyes. ¡°When I learned that you were back, I flew over from France to see you.¡± As he spoke, he approached her. Alexa was forced into a corner by Jarrett, unable to retreat. ¡°I proposed to you three years ago because I really like you.¡± As Jarrett spoke, he frivolously traced the outline of her cheeks with his fingertips. ¡°But it doesn¡¯t matter. I am still in love with you now.¡± Alexa patted his hand away and looked angry. ¡°Mr. Sheldon, please behave yourself!¡± ¡°No one wille up to this floor. If I wanted to do something to you, would you still have the chance to talk to me like this?¡± Jarrett said in a threatening tone. Alexa curled her lips and said calmly. ¡°I am still pregnant with my husband¡¯s child. You may have misunderstood something.¡± Alexa thought that Jarrett would shrink back from difficulties. Unexpectedly, heughed sinisterly. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. We can get married until you give birth to the child.¡± ¡°Are you crazy?¡± Alexa widened her eyes in disbelief. She did not expect Jarrett to say such a thing. ¡°Because you are from the Duran family, I can be more patient with you.¡± Jarrett was getting closer and closer to her as if he was about to kiss her on her neck. Alexa wanted to resist, but she did not dare. Chapter 317 Chapter 317 Chapter 317 Alexa Feels Aggrieved Jarrett had a satisfied smile on his face. He was not interested in Alexa, but getting her was equivalent to getting half of the Duran family. Jarrett didn¡¯t mind being with a second-hand woman if he could get such a generous reward. Alexa was very resistant to him. The atmosphere was getting extremely intimate, and at the same time, things were getting dangerous for her. ¡°Ms. Duran.¡± Enter title¡­ Hearing this calm voice, Alexa immediately opened her eyes and looked over, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw. Jarrett looked at theer with a displeased expression. Finley slowly walked over. He ignored Jarrett¡¯s gaze and was indifferent to his displeasure. ¡°Dr. McMin, you came at the right time,¡± Jarrett said sarcastically. ¡°Mr. Sheldon, Ms. Duran is going to take the medicine,¡± Finley said calmly. Alexa walked quickly to Finley¡¯s side without the slightest hesitation. ¡°Dr. McMin, let¡¯s go,¡± she urged. Finley moved sideways to make way. After Alexa left, he slowly followed. When she returned to her room, Alexa¡¯s face was still pale. If Finley hadn¡¯te just now, she couldn¡¯t imagine what would have happened. ¡°Finley, thank you.¡± Alexa pretended to be calm and thanked him. However, Finley did not reply and prepared the medicine for her. Then he handed the pill and warm water over, but Alexa was still sitting by the bed in a daze, not taking the medicine. ¡°Are you feeling unwell?¡± Finley frowned and immediately put down the medicine. He turned to check her pulse. ¡°Your heart is beating a little fast. Try to rx,¡± he said professionally and coldly. ¡°Take a deep breath ording to my instructions.¡± Before he finished speaking, Finley was stunned. Alexa¡¯s fair face was full of tear marks, and her eyes were red and swollen, looking extremely aggrieved. ¡°I don¡¯t want to be here. I want to go back to New York,¡± she choked with sobs. Alexa was brought here for no reason, and she was sold as if she were amodity. Just thinking about it made Alexa¡¯s mind a mess. And more tears streamed down her face. She really wanted Terrence to be here right now. She could hug him, kiss him, or even speak to him. But no one was here but Finley, who was like an emotionless robot. But a momentter, a cell phone was handed to Alexa, followed by a neatly folded handkerchief. ¡°You can contact him on my phone.¡± Alexa looked up in shock. A few strands of hair were stuck to her face with tears. Her current look was a bit messy. ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°Five minutes.¡± Alexa did not waste any time and immediately took it. Finley¡¯s mobile phone was so simple that Alexa could only make a phone call or send a message. He did not save Terrence¡¯s contact information, so Alexa entered Terrence¡¯s phone number. However, life seemed to have joked with her. For a moment, she could not remember anything. ¡°It¡¯s impossible¡­¡± Alexa silently muttered, trying to recall Terrence¡¯s number. However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn¡¯t remember Terrence¡¯s phone number. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Finley spoke softly, interrupting her thoughts. Alexa looked up in horror and muttered in disbelief. ¡°Finley, I¡­ I don¡¯t remember his phone number.¡± However, she had only left New York for less than two days. ¡°Ms. Duran, perhaps you are too tired. You need to have a good rest,¡± Finley said objectively. Alexa was lost in thought. At this time, someone knocked on the door. Without waiting for her to respond, the person opened the door and entered the room. Christina looked suspiciously at them before her gaze became colder. ¡°Why don¡¯t you apany Mr. Sheldon?¡± Christina¡¯s question made Alexa feel sick. ¡°When I see him, I feel nauseous,¡± Alexa said with a cold expression. ¡°You don¡¯t want me to throw up on him, do you?¡± Hearing this, Christina looked furious. ¡°He is an important customer of the Duran family and your future husband.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think so. You can marry anyone to him. I don¡¯t want to get involved,¡± Alexa refused. ¡°You¡­¡± Christina was so angry that she didn¡¯t know how to answer. ¡°Don¡¯t forget that your medical fees are paid by me and your father.¡± ¡°Oh, you can withdraw your investment at any time. I don¡¯t mind.¡± Alexa nodded calmly. They did not get along well. In the end, they ended their conversation unhappily. When Christina left, an assistant hurriedly ran over and said a few words in her ear. Christina¡¯s expression changed, and she immediately took her people away. After they left, the atmosphere in the room eased a little. Finley handed over the medicine. Alexa nced at it and directly swallowed the bitter pills. ¡°Finley, how much time do I have?¡± ¡°Why are you asking? Did I do something wrong?¡± Finley was a little surprised. He looked like a good woman who was afraid to be dismissed. Alexa couldn¡¯t bear to make things difficult for him. ¡°I just think that your medical skills are superb, so you don¡¯t have to waste your time on me. Curing me will make you feel frustrated.¡± ¡°Why will I feel frustrated?¡± Content held by N?velDrama.Org. He looked so pure that he did not have any evil thoughts. Alright, he and I don¡¯t think alike, Alexa thought. Not long after, Alexa yawnedzily. ¡°I want to sleep.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Finley nodded slightly and sat down on the sofa not far away. Anyway, he could not go out. Alexa pretended that Finley did not exist and slept as usual. After confirming that Alexa had fallen asleep, Finley silently got up. He quietly walked to the bedside and took out the silver needle bag he carried with him. Then he inserted the slender silver needle into the back of her hand. Alexa reflexively frowned but did not wake up. Finley looked calm and did not panic at all. He specially added some tranquilizers to the medicine. Alexa should have a good sleep. After that, Finley took out his phone and sent a message to an unknown number. ¡°She¡¯s fine.¡± After the message was sent, Finley blocked the number and cleared all the traces. In the quiet room, everything went as usual. At this time, Terrence left the conference room with a sullen look. Edwin quickly asked someone to track down the number, but he got nothing. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, the other party has deleted all the information. We can¡¯t trace it.¡± Terrence did not reply and frowned slightly, looking sullen.He knew that that person must be beside Alexa. Who would be able to contact the outside world under Christina¡¯s control? ¡°Mr. Ramsey¡­¡± Edwin¡¯s whisper immediately dragged Terrence back to reality. ¡°Go on with the check, but don¡¯t alert them.¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, the Duran Group has already filed awsuit against us, hoping to take back the custody of Mr. Damarion.¡± ¡°Let them try.¡± Terrence¡¯s voice was extremely cold.His patience had worn out. Chapter 318 Chapter 318 Chapter 318 There Is Nothing Between Us ¡°Contact mywyers to deal with them,¡± Terrence said coldly. ¡°Their methods are too boring, and I don¡¯t want to waste my time on them.¡± ¡°Yes, Mr. Ramsey.¡± Terrence¡¯s face was gloomy. His only wish now was to save Alexa and get her back. When Terrence returned to his office in a daze, he immediately saw Damarion, who was being carried by Yareli. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, have you finished your work?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Enter title¡­ Terrence instantly revealed a smile, and his cold expression disappeared. Terrence took Damarion into his arms, and the exhaustion in his body seemed to have instantly vanished. ¡°Damar, did you miss me?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Damarion grasped Terrence¡¯s cor firmly. ¡°I don¡¯t want daddy to go¡­¡± C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. ¡°I wille to apany you after I¡¯m done with work.¡± ¡°I want mommy.¡± Hearing Damarion¡¯s tender and innocent voice, Terrence suddenly felt very sorry for Damarion. Terrence was about to say something, but Yareli spoke first. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, before you came back, Mr. Damarion asked me to call Mrs. Ramsey several times with my phone.¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey suddenly left, and Mr. Damarion was the most hurt one. He is still a kid¡­¡± Yareli could not bear it, and her eyes turned red as she spoke. Terrence said, ¡°Damarion, your mommy has something to do during this period of time. I will spend more time apanying you.¡± Terrence was not very good at coaxing children, so he could only try to soften his voice and patiently exin this matter to Damarion. Damarion did not cry or make a fuss. He just quietly leaned his head against Terrence¡¯s shoulder. Damarion¡¯s voice was muffled.He asked, ¡°When will mommye back?¡± ¡°Soon,¡± Terrence replied in a natural tone. ¡°Perhaps tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow¡­¡± After Damarion heard Terrence¡¯s answer, his eyes clearly lit up with a trace of anticipation in them. Although Damarion still could not quite understand the meaning of separation, he could understand the concept of time. Damarion thought that tomorrow should being soon. Terrence didn¡¯t want to break Damarion¡¯s expectations, so he could only tell this white lie to Damarion. Not long after, Aron appeared at the Hudson Group building. When Aron saw Terrence sitting at the table with Damarion in his arms and reading documents, he was stunned. After three seconds, Aron finally epted this scene. ¡°Kaff kaff¡­ Terrence.¡± Aron coughed lightly. Then, he said in a teasing tone, ¡°You¡¯re quite skilled at being a man babysitter.¡± Terrence did not say anything. He only shot a re at Aron, which scared Aron. When Damarion saw Aron, he immediately climbed up the table as if he had done the same thing many times before. Terrence did not stop Damarion. He just indulged Damarion. Aron was afraid that Damarion would fall, so he immediately stepped forward to protect Damarion. Damarion was very cute and good-looking. Aron thought Damarion¡¯s beautiful eyes might attract many girls in the future. ¡°Terrence, your son is really cute. Can you lend him to me to y with for a few days?¡± Aron said boldly. As soon as Aron finished speaking, Terrence carried Damarion back without hesitation. ¡°If you want a son, have one yourself,¡± Terrence said coldly. Aron was speechless. Damarion looked very happy, and Terrence¡¯s expression softened a lot. Terrence asked Aron, ¡°How is the investigation?¡± ¡°With me personally taking action, of course, I found something.¡± After Aron finished speaking, he ced a folder on Terrence¡¯s table. ¡°It¡¯s all in here.¡± Terrence immediately took out a document from inside the folder and carefully read it. Aron exined, ¡°Derick and Jovan are half-brothers. ording to the previous servants of the Clough family, the rtionship between Derick and Jovan has never been good.¡± Aron paused. Then, he said, ¡°Jovan even personally sent Derick to jail.¡± ¡°Killing his father and mother?¡± Terrence could not help but frown. ¡°Derick even confessed to this.¡± Aron said, ¡°But in fact, Derick was framed. The real murderer is Jovan.¡± ¡°The reason is rted to the family dispute?¡± ¡°Yeah. After all, there are always people who die for money.¡± Aron clicked his tongue. ¡°Jovan is a madman. He can do anything in order to get money and power.¡± ¡°Derick has the evidence. Is this why he was hunted by Jovan?¡± ¡°Yes. But now, Derick is missing again. Jovan and the Duran Group have formed a united front. Jovan should be relying on the Duran Group topletely clear his name and finally gain a foothold in the Clough family,¡± Aron analyzed. Jovan and the Duran family were a group of capitalists who had already lost their conscience. Terrence found that something was wrong. ¡°But why did the Duran Group choose Jovan? Is the Duran Group doing some shady business?¡± It seemed that Terrence had entered a dead end. But Terrence always felt that there were still some clues that he hadn¡¯t found. Terrence was about to say something. However, he suddenly felt dizzy and felt like all the furnishings in front of him were spinning. At thest moment when Terrence¡¯s sight turned dark, he instinctively hugged Damarion tightly. ¡°Terrence!¡± When Terrence woke up again, he found that he was lying in the VIP ward of the hospital. There was a bowl of steaming vegetable soup on the bedside table. There was also a bunch of fresh flowers. At this moment, Terrence even felt like Alexa hade back. However, there were only a few servants in the ward. ¡°How long have I been asleep?¡± Terrence asked. Terrence¡¯s voice was very hoarse. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, you¡¯re awake! You have only slept for less than six hours,¡± One of the servants said. Six hours¡­ Terrence touched his forehead and lowered his head, trying to get rid of that chaotic feeling. ¡°Why did I sleep for so long?¡± Terrence thought he must have missed a lot of news about Alexa. Terrence impatiently picked up his phone, but a serious voice interrupted his movements. ¡°You fainted because of blood supply insufficiency. You need a good rest.¡± Kieran took the medical records into the room and walked to Terrence¡¯s bed with a solemn expression. After asking Terrence some basic questions, Kieran still did not intend to leave. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Terrence asked so in a low voice. He was a little down at this moment. ¡°This is my workce. It is not strange that you see me.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t protect her well.¡± Terrence seemed to be muttering to himself. ¡°Are you here tough at me?¡± ¡°Is there any point inughing at you? I¡¯m not interested in wasting my time doing this thing.¡± Now, when Kieran mentioned Alexa again, there was only pure relief left in his heart. Kieran said, ¡°She has always been a very kind person. Even if she doesn¡¯t like someone, she won¡¯t say harsh words to refuse that person.¡± Terrence pursed his thin lips and quietly listened to Kieran. Kieran continued, ¡°Have you always thought that there was something between her and me before?¡± Kieran chuckled as if he was entertaining himself. ¡°Terrence, I can tell you very clearly that there is nothing between me and her. There is nothing between us.¡± The thing that Alexa took the initiative to confess her ¡°love¡± to Kieran. It was fake. Kieran always knew it. ¡°I have been using her. I used her identity as the second young daughter of the Duran family to let the Duran Group save the Powell Group.¡± ¡°Kieran, I don¡¯t believe it.¡± Terrence said these words slowly, and his calm eyes locked on Kieran. ¡°I don¡¯t believe that you have no feelings for her at all¡­¡± ¡°No,¡± Kieran immediately replied. ¡°Never.¡± Chapter 319 Chapter 319 Chapter 319 You Have to Find Your Own Happiness Kieran¡¯s eyes became colder. But the more Kieran was like this, the more Terrence knew what Kieran was hiding in his heart. ¡°You don¡¯t have to deliberately hide it.¡± The corners of Terrence¡¯s mouth rose. ¡°I have many rivals in love. You are not the only one.¡± Kieran thought Terrence¡¯s way of thinking was really funny. Kieran skipped the topic and handed a report to Terrence. ¡°This is the result of her pathological analysis.¡± It seemed that Kieran worried that Terrence would misunderstand something, so he exined on purpose, ¡°Terrence. ¡°I am not helping you. I¡¯m helping her.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°I treat her as a friend. A very good friend,¡± Kieran said with aplicated look in his eyes. Kieran understood that this medical report would definitely be a powerful chess piece to overthrow the Duran Group. Because of this, Kieran felt very guilty and didn¡¯t even know how to face Alexa in the future. ¡°Tomorrow, I will resign from my position in the hospital and leave New York. When you see her, remember to tell her about this.¡± After saying that, Kieran turned and left directly. In fact, what Terrence said was right. Kieran indeed had some feelings for Alexa. But in fact, Alexa was more like a beam of light that shone in Kieran¡¯s gloomy life. Alexa found her own happiness, but she had also lit a candle for Kieran. Now, Kieran was going to take this candle to explore his life and find his own happiness. Kieran took a silent deep breath. He had never felt so rxed like this before. But Terrence, who was in the ward, frowned. His expression became more and more serious. Alexa would be sent to Aton Medical Research Center every month to collect her blood samples¡­ Was Aton Medical Research Center rted to the Duran Group? Terrence immediately informed Edwin to investigate this thing. Somehow, Terrence had a sinking feeling. At this time, Rebekah and Jason entered the ward together. ¡°Terrence, we heard from the nurse that you were awake. How are you feeling now?¡± Rebekah asked. She was still in a state of shock. ¡°Much better.¡± ¡°Terrence, you¡¯ve been working continuously all this time, haven¡¯t you?¡± Jason was also very worried. ¡°You are under a lot of pressure, but you¡¯re not a robot. You should rest for a while.¡± ¡°Dad, Mom.¡± Terrence shook his head. ¡°I¡¯m not tired. Alexa is still waiting for me.¡± ¡°They are Alexa¡¯s biological parents after all. They probably won¡¯t intentionally hurt her,¡± Rebekah said. ¡°No¡­¡± Terrence shook his head. Then, he turned his head and looked out the window. ¡°There are many people in this world who are born without a conscience. They are just demons in human skin,¡± Terrence said in a low voice. Terrence originally did not want to believe this fact. But now, he could only think that the thing might go in the worst direction. ¡°If anything happens to her, I will never forgive myself,¡± Terrence said in a low voice. There was a sudden p of thunder. But Terrence didn¡¯t care about the sudden rainstorm and immediately rushed back to the vi. Every thunderstorm, Alexa would be so afraid that she couldn¡¯t sleep, and Damarion was the same. Just as the car stopped at the entrance of the vi, Terrence immediately rushed back to the house in the rain without an umbre. As expected, Damarion was crying. Although Yareli had been holding Damarion in her arms and coaxing him, Damarion was still crying. ¡°Mr. Ramsey¡­¡± Yareli looked at Terrence and hesitated to speak. ¡°Your clothes are wet.¡± After hearing Yareli¡¯s reminder, Terrence finally reacted. Terrence hurriedly changed into a new coat and then took Damarion in his arms. Magically, Damarion gradually stopped crying after being held in Terrence¡¯s arms. Seeing this, Yareli said, ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Mr. Damarion is asleep. Let me take care of him.¡± ¡°No need, Yareli. You should have some rest too.¡± Terrence said so gently with a faint smile. But he didn¡¯t intend to let go of Damarion. Damarion had fallen asleep in Terrence¡¯s arms, and there were still some tears on Damarion¡¯s thick and long eyshes. Damarion¡¯s body twitched twice from time to time. It seemed that he was not sleeping well. Terrence tightened his embrace, allowing Damarion to sleep more peacefully. Damarion was very dependent on Terrence. Even if Terrence only moved his arms a little, Damarion would instinctively grab Terrence¡¯s cor and didn¡¯t let go. Damarion chuckled and said in a low voice, ¡°You are really like your mother.¡± At the thought of Alexa, Terrence subconsciously revealed a smile. Terrence held Damarion in his arms and sat down until dawn. When Rebekah came to see Terrence and Damarion in the morning, she was really shocked. Rebekah asked, ¡°Terrence, you haven¡¯t slept all night?¡± ¡°It¡¯s OK. I¡¯m not tired.¡± Terrence carefully put the sleeping Damarion back on the bed and then lifted the curtain to look out. The wind and rain had stopped, and the sun was shining brightly outside the window. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. Terrence said, ¡°I still have a meeting to attend. I will go to thepany first.¡± After saying that, Terrence went back to his room. Terrence quickly changed his suit and went out after eating breakfast. Edwin handed Terrence an invitation letter. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, this is an invitation from Jarrett, the new president of the Sheldon Group.¡± It was a charity party at eight o¡¯clock tonight. Normally, the invitation to this kind ofrge-scale party had to be sent out a week in advance, not to mention that Terrence¡¯s status was very high. In this case, it looked like Jarrett didn¡¯t invite Terrence sincerely. Terrence casually closed the invitation letter and did not seem to care about it. Besides, Terrence had no impression of the Sheldon Group. ¡°The Sheldon Group has always been focusing on their business in France. Only after Jarrett took office did they have the trend of developing in New York. Mr. Ramsey, I have already checked. The Sheldon Group has had some cooperation with the Duran Group recently,¡± Edwin said slowly. The Sheldon Group had just had cooperation with the Duran Group first. Then, they came to New York. The president of the Sheldon Group even sent an invitation to Terrence at this time. It was hard to not doubt Jarrett¡¯s intention of doing this. ¡°Tell him that I will be there on time,¡± Terrence said expressionlessly. The Sheldon Group¡¯s party tonight was very lively. There were many big shots present. All of this showed that the organizer of this party was extraordinary. However, Terrence¡¯s focus was not on business. As soon as he entered the venue, he began to look for someone. However, Jarrett did not seem to have shown up here. At this time, a waiter holding a wine tray appeared in front of Terrence. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, this is Margarita that Mr. Sheldon ordered for you.¡± Terrence nced coldly at the ss of blue wine. He suddenly noticed the ring at the bottom of the ss. Terrence narrowed his eyes. He immediately poured out the wine and took the ring. It was Alexa¡¯s wedding ring, and it was an exclusive one. Why was it here? ¡°Where is Jarrett?¡± Terrence asked the waiter. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Mr. Sheldon is on the second floor.¡± Terrence directly went upstairs without saying anything. Terrence arrived at the silent corridor on the second floor. The doors to the rooms on both sides were locked. Terrence took two steps forward and noticed the footsteps behind him. ¡°Show yourself,¡± Terrence said coldly. The person behind Terrence clicked his tongue and went to Terrence¡¯s front calmly. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, nice to meet you for the first time.¡± Terrence looked at the sloppy man in front of him with a frown. Terrence grabbed Jarrett¡¯s cor, and his tone was as cold as ice. ¡°Have you met Alexa before?¡± Jarrett calmly sized Terrence up and down. Then, he said fearlessly, ¡°You are Ms. Duran¡¯s beloved man? You don¡¯t look that handsome and charming.¡± Chapter 320 Chapter 320 Chapter 320 End This Dream Terrence ignored Jarrett¡¯s provocation and repeatedly asked that question. ¡°Have you met Alexa before?¡± ¡°Let me go first.¡± ¡°You have met her?¡± Terrence narrowed his eyes dangerously. ¡°Did you take this ring from her?¡± Jarrett raised the corner of his mouth and kept a casual look on his face. ¡°Not only have I met her before¡­¡± Terrence¡¯s face immediately darkened. Jarrett continued, ¡°I also hugged her, kissed her, and flirted with her. Otherwise, how did I get this ring?¡± As soon as Jarrett finished speaking, Terrence punched Jarrett in the face. ¡°How dare you?¡± Terrence said these words word by word, and a trace of danger appeared in his eyes. Jarrett failed to dodge it, and he hit heavily onto the wall. Even though Jarrett was in such a sorry state, he still maintained that casual look. ¡°What¡¯s the use of beating me?¡± ¡°Where is she?¡± ¡°Where you can¡¯t find her.¡± Jarrett tilted his head as if he had found something very interesting. ¡°Do you want to see her? I can take you there.¡± ¡°If you dare to hurt her, I will make you regret that you havee to this world.¡± Terrence¡¯s threat was nothing in Jarrett¡¯s ears. The noise made by Terrence and Jarrett soon attracted the bodyguards from both sides. At the same time, some guests heard the noise here and came. But after seeing the two sides of the conflict, no one dared to open their mouths to say anything. One was the new president of the Sheldon Group, and the other was the president of the Hudson Group. No one present could afford to offend them. A momentter, Aron rushed over with a few of his friends. ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Aron wanted to say something but stopped. Terrence pursed his lips and stared at Jarrett with his malicious eyes. But Jarrett did not care about it at all. He didn¡¯t mind blowing up the matter at all. Jarrett curled up his lips provocatively and narrowed his eyes. More and more people came. Finally, Terrence threw Jarrett away like he was throwing the trash. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, why don¡¯t you keep beating me?¡± ¡°Jarrett, I don¡¯t have much patience. You better understand what¡¯s good for you,¡± Terrence said coldly. ¡°I understand it very well. You don¡¯t have to remind me, Mr. Ramsey.¡± Jarrett slowly approached Terrence and whispered a few words in Terrence¡¯s ear with a smile. ¡°One day, I will put a ring on her finger. Remember to attend our wedding.¡± In an instant, Terrence¡¯s hands, which were hanging by his sides, clenched again. Aron was worried that things would really be worse, so he quickly asked a few friends to persuade Terrence to leave. Terrence acted as if he could not hear the movements around him. After leaving the venue, he went straight to the garage. Aron had just caught up, and Terrence had already driven his car out. Seeing Terrence like this, Aron was worried that something might really happen to him, so he immediately called Rebekah. Not long after, Terrence parked the car in front of the apartment where Alexa used to live. Then, Terrence entered the apartment and went upstairs silently. Unexpectedly, he happened to meet an upant upstairs. It was a white-haired olddy. After she saw Terrence, she greeted him nicely. ¡°You are the young man who lives on the third floor, right?¡± Terrence stopped and slightly restrained his cold temperament. ¡°I haven¡¯t seen you for a long time. How are your wife and children?¡± the olddy asked. Terrence paused for a moment. Then, he replied, ¡°We are alright. Thank you for your concern.¡± After bidding farewell to the olddy, Terrence took out the key and opened the door. The room was still the same, but Terrence was the only one here now. Terrence did not want to go back to the vi now. That vi was big, empty, and quiet, making Terrence panic. Terrence thought that things would be better after he came here. However, those traces left by Alexa would only make Terrence hurt. Terrence suddenly wanted to drink. But when Terrence remembered that he had promised Alexa that he wouldn¡¯t drink anymore, he immediately dismissed this thought. Alcohol could not dilute the pain. It could only dy one¡¯s perception. Terrence drank a ss of icy water to wake himself up a little. Then, Terrence went to Alexa¡¯s room. Terrence felt that he was now like a puppy and was extremely eager for Alexa¡¯s smell. Sometimes, Terrence even had the same thoughts as Damarion. Terrence thought perhaps the dream would end as soon as he woke up.He thought all of this was a dream, and Alexa actually had never left¡­ At the same time, far away on the other side of the ocean, Alexa was sitting in front of the window. It was still noon here, and the servant sent Alexa lunch as usual. But the servant was surprised because she found that Alexa had not even eaten breakfast. ¡°Ms. Duran, please don¡¯t make things difficult for us¡­ If Mrs. Duran knows about this¡­¡± the servant said with a trembling voice. ¡°I didn¡¯t make things difficult for you. I was just making things difficult for myself,¡± Alexa said emotionlessly. ¡°Your body won¡¯t be able to take it.¡± ¡°Let me leave here. Otherwise, I will kill myself directly.¡± It was not a threat. Alexa would really do what she said. The servant was indeed scared by Alexa and ran out in a hurry immediately. Alexa sat in front of the window like a puppet doll. Not long after, a person came. However, it was not Finley, nor was it Christina¡­ ¡°Liar!¡± Alexa¡¯s emotions were instantly stimted. She picked up the cup next to her and smashed it at Keyon. Keyon did not dodge. As a result, Keyon was sshed with milk, and the cup fell to the ground and broke. But Alexa was still angry. She then smashed the tes at Keyon. The originally neat room soon became a mess. When there was nothing else that Alexa could smash, she finally stopped. She powerlessly dropped her hand and fell onto the chair in a daze. Keyon waved his hand, indicating for the others to go out. Then, Keyon locked the door of this room. ¡°Have you had enough?¡± Keyon opened his mouth and said such a cold sentence. ¡°Get out.¡± Alexa didn¡¯t look at Keyon. Right now, Alexa didn¡¯t want to see Keyon at all. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°There has been some progress at the research center. The new medicine will soon get into clinical experiments.¡± ¡°Get out.¡± Alexa said so with emphasis. A hint of impatience appeared on her face. ¡°As long as you don¡¯t leave Ice Floral Ind, I¡¯ll be with you no matter what you want to do.¡± As soon as Keyon finished speaking, Alexa turned her head and looked at him. Under the sunlight, Alexa¡¯s cold and pale face slowly revealed a bleak and sad smile. ¡°You want me to die¡­¡± Alexa muttered in a trembling voice. ¡°You all want me dead, right?¡± ¡°No. It¡¯s not like that.¡± Keyon was eager to prove something, so he took two steps forward immediately. At this time, Alexa suddenly pulled out a pen from her pocket and pointed the sharp tip of the pen at her neck. ¡°Don¡¯te over!¡± Keyon immediately stopped, and his eyes were filled with disbelief and anger. ¡°Are you done with it?¡± Keyon met Alexa¡¯s resolute eyes and had a serious expression on his face Chapter 321 Chapter 321 Chapter 321 I Must Go to See Him ¡°What did I do?¡± Alexa asked back with a sneer. ¡°Haven¡¯t I always been very obedient? You can control me however you want.¡± ¡°Alexa. We are trying to save you.¡± ¡°Save me?¡± Even though Keyon said it sincerely, Alexa still didn¡¯t believe it. Alexa would not believe any of the people here. She said, ¡°Then tell me what my happiness, my lover, and my children are in your eyes?¡± ¡°Alexa, I just want to save your life first.¡± ¡°So¡­ They are nothing in your eyes, right?¡± Alexa said. ¡°Terrence is not suitable for you. He is the Duran family¡¯s enemy.¡± Keyon said reluctantly. ¡°Where is the evidence? Why should I hate him?¡± ¡°You are a part of the Duran family¡­¡± ¡°I am not!¡± Alexa would feel disgusted every time they emphasized that she was a part of the Duran family. ¡°That is your grudge, and it has nothing to do with me. I belong to myself. I don¡¯t represent any family or force,¡± Alexa said firmly. Keyon wanted to snatch the pen in Alexa¡¯s hand, but Alexa had seen through Keyon¡¯s intentions. Then, Keyon even pressed the tip of the pen to her neck. Blood soon appeared on Alexa¡¯s delicate neck, and Keyon was even more worried. ¡°Alexa, listen to me. Put the pen down.¡± ¡°I want to see Terrence,¡± Alexa said firmly. ¡°Now!¡± ¡°This is the Duran family¡¯s private ind. He can¡¯t get in.¡± ¡°I want to see him.¡± Alexa¡¯s voice was much louder. It was clear that she was already on the verge of losing control of her emotions. Keyon kept silent, not daring to make any move. However, the next second, someone suddenly opened the door. Christina and Scott came here together, and their faces looked gloomy. ¡°Alexa, what are you doing? Don¡¯t do anything stupid.¡± Christina said so as if she was making amand. Alexa nced coldly at the three people in front of her indifferently. ¡°I only give you two choices. Either let me see him, or I will kill myself¡­¡± ¡°Alexa, what are you saying? Let¡¯s have a talk,¡± Scott said with a deep frown. ¡°I don¡¯t have anything to talk about with you.¡± Alexa¡¯s tone was very calm. As a result, when she suddenly cut her neck, the three people in front of her all failed to react in time. Alexa felt that the smell of blood on her neck was getting stronger and stronger, and her whole body fell down powerlessly. Alexa said in her heart, goodbye, Terrence¡­ Alexa felt very tired and couldn¡¯t even squeeze out a smile. She soon closed her eyes. Alexa thought that she would definitely die this time. However, her consciousness quickly returned. Alexa thought, I¡¯m not dreaming, am I? Alexa opened her eyes and found that she was in a ward. Her neck was wrapped in a thick bandage, and she couldn¡¯t move her head. Alexa didn¡¯t die. Alexa was puzzled. Later, a figure in a white robe appeared in front of Alexa. Finley wrote the medical record on his own and checked the data on the monitor. ¡°It looks like you¡¯re awake.¡± Finley was not surprised at all. ¡°Finley?¡± Alexa was even more puzzled. ¡°Why didn¡¯t I¡­¡± ¡°Although the tip of a pen is sharp, it is not enough to cut off the carotid artery. It¡¯s just that it might leave a scar. It will be a very ugly scar,¡± Finley replied with a serious face. Finley¡¯sst two sentences made Alexa confused. Alexa said, ¡°I don¡¯t care if the scar will be ugly or not.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± After Finley finished speaking, he bent down to remove the bandage on Alexa¡¯s neck. Then, he seriously changed the medicine for her. ¡°You have to have a nd diet in the next few days. In addition, you need to keep a happy mood and don¡¯t move too much.¡± Finley was indeed a verypetent doctor. Alexa looked at Finley¡¯s face and suddenly asked a question. ¡°Dr. McMin, have we met before?¡± ¡°Indeed. I¡¯ve always been your attending physician,¡± Finley said calmly. ¡°I¡¯m not talking about that. I mean, we seem to have known each other a long time ago,¡± Alexa said earnestly. Alexa had thought that Finley would answer her questions as patiently as usual. However, Finley¡¯s gaze turned colder instead. ¡°Will you say this to everyone?¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Alexa was still confused, but Finley had already finished his words and didn¡¯t want to say anything more. After Finley changed the medicine for Alexa, he packed up his things and went out. Not long after, Keyon walked in alone. Unlike this afternoon, Keyon automatically stood a distance away from Alexa. Alexa suddenly nced over and found that Keyon¡¯s eyes were a little red. Keyon had cried? Or maybe this was just some kind of disguise. Alexa kept a cold face and didn¡¯t want to pay attention to Keyon. But Keyon said calmly, ¡°Terrence wille to this ind this weekend.¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± ¡°Our father invited him over for a business negotiation. But the guards at the venue will be very strict. You may¡­¡± ¡°So, you still won¡¯t let me see him?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll try my best to help you.¡± ¡°No need,¡± Alexa said coldly. ¡°If you don¡¯t want to help me, then don¡¯t. Anyway, I don¡¯t care that much.¡± Keyon knew that Alexa was talking in anger. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something. But in the end, he gave up on that thought. ¡°Have a good rest.¡± After saying that, Keyon quietly left the ward. Alexay down with her back to the door. But her tears quietly soaked the pillow. Alexa said in her heart, yes. I just don¡¯t care. She repeated so to herself over and over again in her heart. Alexa thought if she acted willfully now, she would only bring more trouble to Terrence. However, Alexa wondered, will Terrencee to find me? Alexa did not feel sleepy. She was still awake in the evening. In the dark night, a figure quietly slipped into Alexa¡¯s ward. ¡°Alexa.¡± Hearing this charming voice, Alexa immediately sat up from the bed vigntly. Although this person was wearing a mask, Alexa recognized her immediately. It was Giselle. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous,¡± Giselle chuckled. ¡°Keyon has something to tell you. I¡¯m just passing his message to you.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± Giselle did not answer. She just calmly handed an envelope to Alexa. ¡°This is what Keyon asked me to give you.¡± Alexa noticed that there was Keyon¡¯s personal seal on the envelope. ¡°Terrence wille to Ice Floral Ind tomorrow. This may be your only chance.¡± C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. After Giselle finished speaking, she secretly pursed her lips. Giselle did not waste time talking to Alexa. After giving Alexa the envelope, Giselle left. Alexa couldn¡¯t wait to open the envelope. There was only a row of neat words in the letter. ¡°Tomorrow night, eight o¡¯clock, northeast of Central Garden.¡± Alexa grabbed the letter tightly, and a hint of determination shed through her eyes. No matter whether this information was true or not, Alexa had no other choice. If Alexa did not try, she might never see Terrence again. After thinking for a moment, Alexa made up her mind. Alexa did not close her eyes the whole night. When Alexa thought that Terrence woulde to Ice Floral Ind tomorrow, her heart throbbed as if it was going to jump out of her chest. Chapter 322 Chapter 322 Chapter 322 Save Her Child The next morning, Alexa had breakfast on time. After yesterday¡¯s incident, Scott sent the guards around Alexa away, leaving only Finley to follow her. C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. Finley seemed to be very busy today. Even the medicine was sent by his assistant this morning. Alexa did not see Finley. But she did not ask where he was. Finley was not around, and Alexa took this chance and went downstairs alone. Although Alexa had lived here for a few years, she still felt a little unfamiliar when she came back. The sun was very bright today, and it was good weather that had not been seen for a long time. Alexa sat under the tree, silently praying that Terrence coulde smoothly. ¡°Tsk, isn¡¯t this Ms. Alexa?¡± Hearing a sharp and unkind female voice, Alexa put away her gentleness and looked over with a cold face. It was Tina Duran. ording to seniority, Tina was Alexa¡¯s cousin. But Alexa was not familiar with Tina, so she did not intend to pay attention to Tina. Tina snorted and walked to Alexa with a long face. ¡°I was talking to you. Why didn¡¯t you respond?¡± Tina narrowed her eyes. She said coldly, ¡°Is this the attitude you use to treat others? Where is your etiquette?¡± It was obvious that Tina was making a fuss. Alexa frowned. ¡°Excuse me. You¡¯re blocking me from the sun,¡± Alexa said. Tina realized that Alexa didn¡¯t listen to her at all. She felt very embarrassed and angry. ¡°Hey! What do you mean by that?¡± ¡°Nothing. I just don¡¯t want to talk to you,¡± Alexa replied patiently. Tina nced at the bandage on Alexa¡¯s neck and sneered with disdain. ¡°Since you want to threaten people with suicide, why don¡¯t you do it? What is this?¡± Hearing this, Alexa slowly closed the book. Tina was only talking to herself and did not notice how chilling Alexa¡¯s expression was at this moment. Tina continued, ¡°Your baby is just a bastard, and you don¡¯t even know whether it¡¯s a boy or a girl. How dare you openly oppose the family for a bastard? You really don¡¯t know what¡¯s good for you.¡± As soon as Tina finished speaking, a shiny scalpel was ced on her neck. Tina was scared by the cold touch on her neck and even forgot to scream. Alexazily stood beside Tina. She said casually, ¡°Tina, this is my first time ying this kind of thing. If I identally cut your neck, I can only say sorry in advance.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Tina was so scared that her legs went soft. But she didn¡¯t dare to act rashly. Thus, she could only force herself to be calm and strong. ¡°Alexa, you are insane! If you dare to kill me¡­ You¡­¡± ¡°What?¡± Alexa asked lightly. ¡°You will definitely be punished by thew!¡± ¡°Oh? Really?¡± Alexa smiled sinisterly. Then, Alexa said jokingly, ¡°How many sins on this ind can be known by others in the world?¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°What do I mean?¡± Alexa curled her lips. ¡°Make a guess.¡± ¡°Alexa, there¡¯s an important banquet tonight. All the members of the Duran family will be present. If anything happens to me, they will definitely not let you get off.¡± Alexa said in her heart, oh. So there really will be a banquet tonight. It seems that Giselle was not lying to me. ¡°Who is the guest invited to the banquet?¡± ¡°I¡­ I don¡¯t know¡­¡± Tina was so frightened that she was about to cry. ¡°I only heard that the guest came from New York.¡± Alexa blinked her eyes. She already had a n in her heart. ¡°Don¡¯t kill me¡­¡± Tina begged humbly. Alexa silently put away the scalpel. Only then did Tina let out a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, the next moment, Alexa directly pinched the back of Tina¡¯s neck. ¡°Ah!¡± Tina screamed and directly copsed to the ground. Alexa looked down at Tina, and there was nopassion in her eyes at all. ¡°My baby is not a bastard.¡± ¡°Ms. Alexa, it was all my fault just now. I was talking nonsense.¡± ¡°Get out of my sight.¡± ¡°Yes. Yes. I¡¯ll leave now¡­¡± Tina nodded her head and then ran away. Alexa returned to her chair. Although the sunlight was warm, she still felt that her body was cold. At this time, a calm male voice came from behind Alexa. ¡°Don¡¯t y with the scalpel. It¡¯s very dangerous.¡± Alexa did not panic because of being caught. Instead, she handed the scalpel over calmly. ¡°Here. I¡¯ll return it to you.¡± After Finley took the scalpel, he threw it into the trash can beside him without a change in expression. Alexa reached out her hand to block the sunlightzily. ¡°Dr. McMin, if I n to escape from here, will you help me?¡± Alexa asked truthfully. ¡°This is not within my scope of duty.¡± ¡°Then, will you inform against me?¡± Alexa¡¯s voice was very light when she asked so. ¡°I can¡¯t answer this question.¡± ¡°Forget it.¡± Alexa stood up directly. ¡°I¡¯m hungry.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll get the servants to send food to your room.¡± Alexa slowly returned to the room. There were already many delicacies on the table. Alexa originally wanted to eat something to replenish her strength. But when she smelled the greasy smell, she immediately went to the bathroom with a pale face. It was because of morning sickness. Although Finley had already prescribed Alexa medicine, it was not of much use. Apart from that, there was also some other pain spreading through Alexa¡¯s body. Every time the pain surged in Alexa¡¯s body, it wouldst for a long time. Half an hourter, Alexa finally felt better. Alexay weakly on the bed with her back covered in a cold sweat. At this time, someone knocked on the door. But Alexa only heard the buzz, and she didn¡¯t hear the knock. When Keyon pushed the door open and entered the room, he was shocked by the scene in front of him. ¡°Alexa?¡± Keyon immediately rushed to Alexa¡¯s bedside and held her up. ¡°Finley!¡± Keyon called out loudly. Finley immediately rushed over with his assistant physician. ¡°She is running a fever,¡± Finley said with a serious face. ¡°Let¡¯s bring down her fever first and then arrange other treatment ns.¡± ¡°Dr. McMin, we can¡¯t keep this child anymore,¡± Keyon said coldly. ¡°We have to get rid of it as soon as possible. I¡¯m afraid that¡­¡± Before Keyon¡¯s voice fell, he felt someone grab his wrist. ¡°No¡­ No¡­¡± Alexa¡¯s voice was very weak. Hearing Alexa¡¯s voice, Keyon was so angry. ¡°Alexa, do you know what you¡¯re saying?¡± ¡°I know.¡± ¡°Can you stop risking your own life? This child is not as important as you!¡± Keyon roared furiously. ¡°Keyon, I beg you. Let me keep this child,¡± Alexa said in a choked voice with tears on her face. But Keyon thought Alexa was crazy! Keyon really couldn¡¯t understand what Alexa was thinking. Keyon said, ¡°Now that things havee to this point, why do you still want to insist?¡± But Alexa was unable to think clearly at this moment, so she couldn¡¯t answer Keyon¡¯s question. At this time, Christina hurried over. ¡°You must save this child. It¡¯s the child of the Duran family. No ident is allowed to happen to this child,¡± Christina ordered. ¡°Alexa is my sister. It is enough for me to save her alone! Everything else is not that important!¡± Keyon could not bear it any longer, and he exploded. ¡°Only by saving this child will the possibility of her survival be greater.¡± Christina did not speak harshly. She just stated the fact calmly. ¡°What¡­¡± Keyon found it hard to believe. ¡°What does this mean?¡± ¡°I am the person in charge of the development of new medicine. Of course, I know this fact best.¡± At this time, Finley spoke. He looked at Christina and said respectfully, ¡°Mrs. Duran. ¡°Ms. Duran has a high fever and is in aa. We need to take immediate preventive measures.¡± ¡°Then do your job as a doctor.¡± After saying this to Finley, Christina looked at Keyon and said, ¡°Come with me.¡± Chapter 323 Chapter 323 Chapter 323 They Are All Lying Keyon hesitated for a moment. But then, he still followed Christina. Christina brought Keyon to the centralboratory. Then, she showed him a secret passage. ¡°This is the most confidential research and development center.¡± As Christina introduced it, Keyon saw those closedboratories. ¡°Those ces are used to analyze Alexa¡¯s data.¡± Keyon knew that the Duran family established this medical center to study Alexa¡¯s disease. Keyon¡¯s mother, Christina, was the famous doctor, Ivy. However, because of an ident, Ivy disappeared from public view. But for so many years, Christina had been continuously studying Alexa¡¯s disease. ¡°It was I who did not give her a perfect gene,¡± Christina said somewhat guiltily. ¡°That¡¯s why she has suffered so many disasters in her life.¡± ¡°Since that is the case, why did you force her to keep that child?¡± Keyon asked. ¡°Because the treatment requires fresh hemopoietic stem cells,¡± Christina said seriously. ¡°And this is ourst chance.¡± Hearing this, Keyon finally understood Christina¡¯s intention. ¡°She is my biological daughter. How can I bear to let her die?¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t you tell her the truth?¡± ¡°For the patient, the uncertain future is not only filled with hope. It is also more of a torture with many uncertainties.¡± After saying this, Christina sighed, and her face was full of exhaustion. ¡°She has suffered a lot. It is good for her to know less.¡± ¡°I got it.¡± Keyon nodded slightly. ¡°I will do my best to cooperate with you.¡± ¡°Keyon, thank you.¡± Christina hugged Keyon in relief. ¡°You are the same as Alexa. You are both my good children.¡± ¡°What do you need me to do?¡± Keyon asked. ¡°No mistake is allowed in the treatment.¡± Christina raised her eyes filled with determination. ¡°Just in case, try to let Alexa avoid contact with irrelevant people,¡± Christina said slowly. ¡°If necessary, eliminate those unnecessary memories, just like before.¡± When this matter was mentioned, Keyon somehow looked away guiltily. Keyon heard from Finley that Alexa had been a little forgetful recently. She couldn¡¯t remember many things. Perhaps Alexa thought it was normal when she was pregnant. But Keyon knew that¡­ It was the side effect of drug hypnosis. Keyon said in his heart, I¡¯m sorry, Alexa¡­ Keyon¡¯s hands that hung by his sides quietly clenched, and his eyes became a little red. Keyon continued in his heart, I don¡¯t want anything to happen to you. It¡¯s fine if you will hate me in the future. After ending the conversation with Christina, Keyon returned to the treatment room. Finley had already injected antipyretic medicine into Alexa¡¯s body. Alexa finally looked better now. ¡°She is getting better slowly. She should wake up soon,¡± Finley said earnestly. While Finley was speaking, Keyon opened a medicine box at the side. After recognizing the medicine in that box, Finley quietly stood in front of Alexa¡¯s bed. Keyon picked up a syringe, and his expression was resolute. ¡°Mr. Duran, may I ask what you are going to do?¡± ¡°Dr. McMin, you should understand. I¡¯m also a psychologist,¡± Keyon said lightly. But Finley said, ¡°She is now my patient. That is a treatment method that has not been thoroughly examined. Forgive me for being unable to allow you to do that.¡± ¡°I am doing this for her own good.¡± ¡°But this may not be in line with the patient¡¯s own wishes.¡± ¡°Alexa won¡¯t know about this. And she also doesn¡¯t need to know about this.¡± Keyon¡¯s tone was unquestionable. ¡°I will talk to her after she wakes up. ¡°Dr. McMin.¡± Keyon wanted to say something, and his tone became a bit dangerous. Finley was openly challenging Keyon¡¯s authority. But Finley also didn¡¯t show any signs of panic. ¡°Mr. Duran, thank you for your cooperation.¡± ¡°Forget it. I¡¯m not in a hurry.¡± Keyon didn¡¯t continue to confront Finley. He walked away with a gloomy face. Finley turned around and looked at the person who was still in aa on the bed. Then, he also quietly walked out. Finley thought he had to keep an eye on Keyon at all times. No one else could do this job. Finley was like Alexa, and there were few people he trusted here. After Finley and Keyon left, Alexa slowly opened her eyes. Alexa¡¯s eyes were very calm. It looked like she had no emotional fluctuations at all. Even if Alexa had heard such a big lie, she was still not surprised at all. Alexaughed bitterly in her heart, haha¡­ She chuckled and shed tears silently. Alexa thought, so, they are all lying to me, right? They all wish that I could forget everything so that they could fabricate a brand new past for me. Terrence, I don¡¯t want to forget you. Alexa looked at the clock on the wall. It was already seven o¡¯clock in the ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . evening. There was still an hour before Terrence would arrive at Ice Floral Ind. Alexa couldn¡¯t sit still and do nothing like this. At this time, the Ramsey family¡¯s private ne was flying smoothly in the sky. Terrence sat in his seat and stared intently at the invitation letter in his hand. Of course, Terrence knew that this was not an ordinary business negotiation. After all, Terrence had already fallen out with the Duran family, so there was nothing they could talk about. Terrence¡¯s goal was to save Alexa and take her away. At this time, Terrence received another message from a strange number. ¡°She is waiting for you. Ice Floral Ind.¡± A light shed through Terrence¡¯s eyes. He subconsciously frowned. Terrence thought, this person has been keeping ¡°informing¡± me of something. Who is this person? ¡°Mr. Ramsey, it is estimated that we will arrive at Ice Floral Ind in thirty minutes.¡± ¡°OK.¡± Terrence nodded. ¡°I have called ten times more elite forces to ensure the safety of you and Mrs. Ramsey.¡± ¡°Confirm her location right afternding.¡± ¡°Yes, Mr. Ramsey.¡± This was a carefully nned rescue, and Terrence could not fail. Alexa rested in the ward for a while. Suddenly, she heard a burst of fireworks. It seemed that the ¡°distinguished guest¡± had arrived. Alexa immediately perked up and sneaked out of the ward as nned. However, Alexa did not know that there was a slender figure standing in a corner behind her. This person had been watching Alexa for a long time. He watched Alexa until Alexa¡¯s figurepletely disappeared. The residence was very quiet tonight. There weren¡¯t even any bodyguards to guard Alexa. Alexa easily got to Central Garden. She looked from afar and saw that the main hall was brightly lit at the moment. Alexa wondered, how can I let Terrence know that I¡¯m here¡­ Alexa pondered for a moment. She suddenly noticed the movement in the forest. There were people here. But by the time Alexa reacted, it was already toote. A group of well-trained bodyguards rushed out from all around the garden. One of them ordered, ¡°Don¡¯t let her run away. We must capture her alive.¡± It was¡­ Irvin¡¯s voice! Giselle lied to Alexa! Alexa did not have time to care about her regretful feelings. She hurriedly ran to the exit of the garden. Unexpectedly, Alexa identally bumped into a man. The man let out an imperceptible groan and then steadily supported Alexa. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey!¡± Hearing the man¡¯s voice, Alexa looked up and met Edwin¡¯s delighted eyes. ¡°Oh, dear. We¡¯ve finally found you!¡± Edwin said happily. ¡°Where are you going?¡± At this time, a vicious male voice sounded, which instantly broke this cheerful situation. Edwin immediately sheltered Alexa behind him and stared at the man in front of him with vignce. Irvin said, ¡°This is not a ce where you can mess around.¡± Chapter 324 Chapter 324 Chapter 324 Are You Coming With Me? Irvin walked out of the crowd, staring viciously at them. ¡°Ms. Duran, you won¡¯t do anything stupid, will you?¡± ¡°Irvin, what are you doing here?¡± Alexa frowned in disgust. ¡°Mr. Duran asked me to send more people to guard Ice Floral Ind. I did not expect there to be a thief.¡± ¡°Mr. Niebergall, this has nothing to do with you. You¡¯d better stay out of this,¡± Edwin calmly warned. ¡°Ms. Duran, if youe now, I will pretend that nothing happened.¡± ¡°No way!¡± Alexa swore, ¡°Irvin, fuck off.¡± They were in a deadlock for a moment as the people Edwin brought gradually gathered together. The two groups of people were on high alert, and the conflict was imminent. Themotion here quickly raised the attention of people in the hall. When Scott came out with his men, his expression changed in an instant. ¡°Get them all!¡± Here, the best way to confront each other was by force. Edwin protected Alexa and took a few steps back. He turned his head to remind Alexa. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, please hide in a safe ce. I may not be able to protect you.¡± ¡°Come to me.¡± A gentle and steady voice sounded beside Alexa. Her heart skipped a beat. When Alexa came back to her senses, Terrence was already in front of her. His hand, which was covered in a thinyer of callus, was now intertwined with Alexa¡¯s fingers. There was no power that could separate them anymore. Alexa smiled sincerely. ¡°You are here.¡± ¡°I amte, sorry.¡± Terrence looked back at Alexa, his eyes full of regret and dness. ¡°Come with me.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa agreed without hesitation. ¡°Alexa, you can¡¯t go with him!¡± Keyon rushed over to fight with Terrence, but Terrence protected Alexa behind him the whole time, not giving Keyon any chance to touch Alexa. ¡°Alexa,e to us,¡± Scottmanded. Alexa nced at the people standing on the high tform, dead inside. They imed to be Alexa¡¯s nsmen, but they had always been harming her. ¡°Keyon, I won¡¯t go back with you,¡± Alexa said firmly, ¡°I won¡¯t¡­ walk on another path that I will regret.¡± Keyon was distracted for a moment, and soon he was at a disadvantage. Although Alexa hated them, deep down, she did not want Keyon to be hurt. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Hearing Alexa¡¯s hesitant words, Terrence immediately stopped and protected her from the crowd of people in the melee. ¡°Hold on tight. Don¡¯t let go of my hand.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa would not let go of Terrence¡¯s hand for the rest of her life! Seeing this, Irvin gave the order to his trusted aide beside him in a low voice. ¡°Get rid of all the people who stand in our way. We must not let Terrence escape.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± For a moment, Irvin¡¯s men all took out the knives hidden at their waists and started to kill. ¡°Stop, all of you!¡± Scott shouted, ¡°Stop!¡± Even though the guards of Ice Floral Ind were trying their best to gain control, the situation was still getting out of hand. ¡°Irvin, you bastard, it will hurt Alexa!¡± ¡°Scott, this is a great opportunity to get rid of Terrence.¡± Jovan appeared beside Scott at some point in time and watched the chaos with cold eyes. ¡°Although there is a risk of harming your daughter, it is worth a try.¡± ¡°Are you kidding me?¡± Scott tried his best to stop it, but it was already toote. And under the cover of Edwin and others, Terrence had already escaped the crowd with Alexa. ¡°Are youing with me?¡± Terrence stopped to ask Alexa. Alexa did not let go of Terrence¡¯s hand and nodded without the slightest hesitation. Her life had always been bitter, and Terrence was the only one who had helped Alexa escape from misery again and again. The n went smoothly. Not long after, Terrence took Alexa onto the ne. ¡°What about Edwin and the others¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Terrence nodded. ¡°It¡¯s all lined up.¡± They were all top talents who had been professionally trained. Alexa understood this very well. Escaping from the chaos was like a dream. The ne began to move slowly, and Alexa¡¯s heart was still beating wildly. ¡°It¡¯s all right.¡± Terrence hugged Alexa, and the warmth of his body wrapped around her gently. ¡°I¡¯m not afraid,¡± Alexa smiled. ¡°With you by my side, I have nothing to be afraid of.¡± Terrence frowned and looked at the bandage on Alexa¡¯s neck. ¡°How did you get hurt in your neck?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal.¡± Alexa downyed it. ¡°I knew what I was doing. I wouldn¡¯t really die in their hands.¡± Terrence had mixed feelings and did not know what to say for a moment. ¡°Silly girl.¡± Alexa was slightly startled and felt that Terrence had held her even tighter. ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Alexa said weakly, ¡°Actually, there¡¯s something I haven¡¯t told you yet.¡± ¡°Yeah?¡± ¡°I¡¯m pregnant,¡± Alexa said clearly. ¡°It¡¯s been more than a month.¡± She clearly felt that Terrence froze a little. However, there was joy in his eyes, but more of it was deeper emotions that Alexa could not see through. ¡°This is indeed a surprise.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa lowered her head and tightened her grip on her clothes. ¡°But the doctor said that I shouldn¡¯t get pregnant.¡± He thought that Terrence would hesitate, but Alexa did not expect him to blurt it out immediately. ¡°Alexa, your healthes first,¡± Terrence said seriously, ¡°I can¡¯t let you gamble with your life.¡± ¡°But this is our child¡­¡± Alexa was actually a little reluctant. After all, the bond between her and the baby could not be broken at all. ¡°No,¡± Terrence directly refused. ¡°I won¡¯t allow anything to happen to you. I have already asked David to contact the experts toe up with a treatment n. The most important thing now is to cure you.¡± Alexa listened, but she was too tired. After talking with Terrence for a while, she fell asleep in his arms. It was only now that Terrence could reveal all the sorrow in his heart. His gentle gaze lingered on Alexa¡¯s face, his heart aching. ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­¡± Terrence¡¯s voice was very soft, but he choked up a little. He had incredible wealth and enviable power, but in the end, Terrence was unable to resist a storm for Alexa. ¡°Alexa, you will be fine, I promise.¡± The words might be meant for Alexa, but Terrence was actually saying them to himself. Terrence sighed in a low voice, and the corners of his mouth curled up bitterly. The ne gradually left the territory of Ice Floral Ind, and those people did not catch up. Only then did Terrence rx a little. It was already three o¡¯clock in the morning when they arrived in New York. Alexa still had not woken up. When Terrence went to carry her, he suddenly noticed there was blood oozing from the bandage on Alexa¡¯s neck. And her face was pale, her body terrifyingly cold. The wound had already opened up when Terrence didn¡¯t notice it. Chapter 325 Chapter 325 Chapter 325 Don¡¯t me Me for Being Harsh Terrence panicked in an instant and rushed out of the cabin with Alexa in his arms. It was tense and depressing in the operating room of Butterness Hospital in the middle of the night. Terrence stood alone outside the operating room and uneasily took over a dozen documents handed over by the nurse. When he signed, Terrence¡¯s hands were as cold as ice. ¡°Please do your best.¡± Terrence rarely said something like this. ¡°You must not let anything happen to her.¡± Under Terrence¡¯s firm tone, there was great uneasiness and fear. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Mr. Ramsey. Dr. Cooper and the other experts are trying their best.¡± After the nurse finished speaking, she hurried into the operating room. In the empty corridor, there was only the lonely figure of Terrence. It was not until daybreak that the indicator light of the operating room went out. Terrence could not wait to go up. When David came out of the operating room, his entire body was drenched in sweat. ¡°The wound was so deep that the carotid artery was almost cut,¡± David said with a serious face. ¡°Fortunately, you took her here in time, otherwise we could not be able to save her.¡± ¡°How is she now?¡± ¡°She¡¯s okay for now. She should wake up in three or four hours.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Terrence breathed a sigh of temporary relief and rubbed his forehead in exhaustion. David was also very worried when he saw Terrence like this. ¡°You have to take care of yourself. Don¡¯t get too tired.¡± David frowned in worry. ¡°I heard from your mother that you haven¡¯t been sleeping more than two hours a day.¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Terrence patted David on the shoulder and followed the nurses who were sending Alexa to the ward. Alexa was not in a stable condition yet. Terrence did not call his parents for the time being. Terrence was handling thepany¡¯s paperwork in the ward. When he reced the bouquet in the vase on the nightstand with fresh red roses, Alexa slowly woke up. ¡°Alexa?¡± Terrence immediately leaned over the bed and held her hand. ¡°You¡¯re awake!¡± Alexa looked at him, a trace of confusion shing across her eyes. ¡°I¡¯m¡­ What happened?¡± The wound on her neck was painful. Alexa frowned ufortably and paused for a moment. ¡°It¡¯s okay now.¡± Terrence carefully wiped off the sweat on Alexa¡¯s forehead with a handkerchief, but the confusion in Alexa¡¯s eyes made him feel a little strange. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Hearing this, Alexa stared at Terrence for a long time and even spoke somewhat uncertainly. ¡°Terrence?¡± ¡°It¡¯s me.¡± Terrence nodded and smiled gently. ¡°We are back in New York.¡± After a long time, Alexa nodded slowly and spoke as if she was talking to herself. ¡°Yes, we have returned to New York, but¡­ Why can¡¯t I remember what happened before?¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Terrence¡¯s tone was very gentle, gradually soothing Alexa. ¡°You are just too tired.¡± He smoothed the light hair on the side of Alexa¡¯s face and said, ¡°You¡¯ll get better after a good sleep.¡± Alexa did not doubt this and closed her eyes again. The warm winter sunlight poured through the blinds. Soon, Alexa felt sleepy again. After she fell asleep, Terrence¡¯s face was no longer as calm as before, but cold and solemn. He immediately found David. ¡°She can¡¯t remember things. What is going on?¡± David pulled out a set of data and analyzed it with a frown. ¡°Memorypses may also be one of the symptoms.¡± ¡°Is there any way to alleviate it?¡± Terrence blurted out almost without C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. thinking, ¡°She will be scared because it happens too suddenly.¡± ¡°For now, there is no effective medicine.¡± David thought for a moment. ¡°But you can try psychotherapy. Other than that, thepany of people close to her is also necessary.¡± ¡°I understand.¡± Terrence walked worriedly towards the ward. At that time, he received a call from Christina. ¡°We need to talk.¡± Christina¡¯s tone was very calm, but there was a stateliness that could not be resisted. ¡°About what?¡± ¡°Since things havee to this, it seems that she is determined to choose you.¡± Christina sighed helplessly. ¡°My only request is that you save the baby.¡± ¡°Impossible.¡± Terrence directly turned down. ¡°I won¡¯t let her take any risk again.¡± ¡°Risk?¡± Christina chuckled and did not care about what Terrence said. ¡°I can only say that this is to save her, and this is the only chance.¡± Christina told Terrence everything. There was a long silence on the other side of the line. Christina added. ¡°This is indeed risking her life, but there is no other choice.¡± ¡°I will discuss it with her.¡± Terrence replied with a heavy tone. Christina suddenly choked, close to tears. ¡°I know you think I push things too hard, but I have no choice.¡± Terrence was not moved at all. After saying a few words, he hung up the phone. When Terrence returned to the ward, he purposefully adjusted his expression. He did not expect that Alexa had already woken up. She was taking off her hospital gown. When Alexa saw Terrence, her hands unbuttoning the gown suddenly stopped. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Terrence seemed to be even more nervous than her. Alexa¡¯s eyes were clear, and she narrowed her eyeszily to look out of the window. ¡°The weather is great today.¡± Alexa looked at Terrence sideways as if she was asking for approval. ¡°I want to go out for a walk.¡± ¡°Of course, I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Terrence went forward and carefully helped Alexa undo her patient gown and change into a set of clothes that she liked. ¡°I asked Dr. Cooper. He said that the wound healed well.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°I told you so.¡± Alexa smiled sweetly. ¡°I won¡¯t die so easily.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t say anything like that again.¡± Terrence suddenly became a little serious. ¡°You can¡¯t hurt yourself in the future.¡± ¡°Got it.¡± Alexa nodded obediently and subconsciously held Terrence¡¯s arm. Terrence always liked it when she did this. The corners of his mouth curved up slightly. Terrence chose a private garden and asked Yareli to bring Damarion over. He took care of Alexa and Damarion at the same time with ease. Damarion hadn¡¯t seen Alexa for days, so he couldn¡¯t move a step from her. This little guy clearly wanted to y, but now he just held Alexa¡¯s hand and followed her step by step. ¡°Damarion, did you miss Mommy?¡± Alexa asked with a smile. ¡°Yes!¡± Damarion¡¯s answer was very clear, and it suddenly made Alexa feel like crying. ¡°Then I will never leave you again, okay?¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Damarion was at an age that needed his parent¡¯s indulgence the most, but he seemed to be much quieter than his peers. Alexa suddenly felt that Damarion might be hiding a lot of emotions in his heart, but he did not cry or make a fuss. Instead, he showed his emotions with pure and genuine smiles. The more it was like this, the guiltier Alexa felt. While she was distracted, Terrence tightened his grip on Alexa¡¯s hand. ¡°What are you thinking?¡± ¡°I¡¯m thinking¡­¡± Alexa muttered as a warm smile broke across her face, ¡°Winter seems to be over soon.¡± Chapter 326 Chapter 326 Chapter 326 You Are Cuter Like This ¡°Indeed.¡± Terrence held her hand even tighter. ¡°Spring is about toe, and everything will grow. Everything will be fine.¡± ¡°In a few days, Damar will be three years old. Time flies,¡± Alexa said emotionally. ¡°I¡¯ve already arranged everything.¡± ¡°What?¡± Terrence said, ¡°Although this is the first time I have held a birthday banquet for our son, I will do my best in every aspect.¡± Alexa smiled happily. She was looking forward to the birthday banquet Terrence prepared for Damarion. ¡°We didn¡¯t celebrate Damar¡¯s birthday seriously before he was three years old.¡± Alexa said this fact calmly. ¡°At that time, Damar and I were very weak. We took a lot of medicine in those two years.¡± Terrence listened quietly while feeling sorry. But in the end, Alexa revealed a relieved smile. ¡°But it won¡¯t happen again. We have to slowly recover the past we lost.¡± Terrence added slowly, ¡°Not only the past but also the future.¡± And there was much more than a hint of expectation in his eyes. ¡°The future will get better.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa gently held Terrence¡¯s arm, and her smile looked very pure. Terrence invited a top nutritionist team to treat Alexa. Although Alexa¡¯s reaction to morning sickness was not so strong, Alexa always got sleepy easily. After strolling around for a while, Terrence knew that Alexa might be a little tired. ¡°Let¡¯s go rest for a while. The heating in the room has been turned on. I¡¯ll get someone to prepare lunch. You can eat it when you wake up.¡± Terrence was so sweet to get everything ready. ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa wanted to ask Damarion to go together, but Terrence directly held Damarion in his arms. ¡°This little guy is very naughty and will disturb you.¡± Terrence pinched Damarion¡¯s chubby face. ¡°I will take care of him.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa couldn¡¯t help butugh. No matter how much Damarion looked at Terrence expectantly, thetter didn¡¯t allow Damarion to go together with Alexa. ¡°He can even throw flirtatious nces at a young age,¡± Alexa deliberately joked. ¡°So likable. I don¡¯t know why he can do that.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Terrence said seriously. ¡°Then I have to teach him well.¡± Then he turned to look at Damarion. ¡°Other than the person you love, you can¡¯t throw flirtatious nces at others. Do you hear me?¡± Damarionpletely did not understand what Terrence was saying, but he still smiled very happily. ¡°What a boy.¡± Alexa rubbed Damarion¡¯s head. And Damarion behaved obediently with a hint of expectation in his big eyes. After ying with Damarion for a while, Alexa went upstairs. Although she felt very tired, when shey on the bed, Alexa did not feel sleepy at all. She wanted to prepare lunch with Terrence, but thetter did not allow her to enter the kitchen at all. ¡°Be good. Go and rest.¡± Terrence took the chance to kiss Alexa¡¯s forehead, and then he looked very satisfied. ¡°Is this enough?¡± Alexa held Terrence¡¯s waist and deliberately looked straight at Terrence. Terrence¡¯s body tightened, and his eyes suddenly became a bit dark. He coughed a few times with an unnatural expression on his face. And for the first time, his ears were flushed. ¡°Don¡¯t do that.¡± ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . Terrence sounded serious, but his words were not convincing at all. Alexa lowered her head and skillfully bit away the freshly washed strawberry in Terrence¡¯s hand. ¡°It tastes sour.¡± Alexa frowned. ¡°Then don¡¯t eat,¡± Terrence immediately said with nervousness. ¡°Hurry up and spit it out.¡± Alexa smiled mysteriously and tiptoed to kiss slightly on Terrence¡¯s lips. ¡°It bes sweet like this.¡± Her soft, boneless body softly pressed against Terrence¡¯s body. Every nerve in Terrence¡¯s body was excited, but Terrence did not dare take the next step. ¡°Are you testing my self-control?¡± he asked half-jokingly. ¡°Sort of. Don¡¯t you like it?¡± Alexa had a simple expression, but there was a sly look in her eyes. As she spoke, she pinched Terrence¡¯s strong waist with her slender fingers. Terrence let out a stifled groan as a thinyer of sweat appeared on his palm. ¡°I suddenly realized that you look even more attractive like this.¡± Alexa felt good teasing Terrence, so she fearlessly continued doing that. Terrence¡¯s breathing became fast, and he could no longer endure it. He held Alexa¡¯s hands which were touching his body everywhere. ¡°You¡¯re bad¡­¡± Terrence lowered his head and gently bit Alexa¡¯s earlobe. Alexa even felt that Terrence¡¯s voice was trembling when Terrence spoke. She decided to stop teasing Terrence, so she sent a delicate kiss to Terrence¡¯s lips. ¡°All right, I won¡¯t disturb you anymore.¡± She patted Terrence¡¯s chest and even took the strawberries from the table. ¡°You¡­¡± Terrence pursed his lips and was speechless for a moment. ¡°What?¡± Terrence was about to continue when a small figure quietly appeared by the door. Damarion looked at them innocently without knowing what had happened. Alexa coughed. She pretended as if nothing had happened and pulled away from Terrence with a serious expression. ¡°Damar, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Alexa asked with a smile. ¡°Dad, Mom. I¡¯m hungry.¡± Damarion said pitifully and shook the empty milk bottle in his hand. ¡°I¡¯ll do it.¡± After Terrence finished speaking, he skillfully made a cup of milk with the milk powder for Damarion. After sensing that Alexa was stillughing at the side, Terrence leaned over to Alexa¡¯s ear. And he whispered, ¡°You owe it to me. You¡¯ll repay it together someday in the future.¡± ¡°What?¡± Alexa had a nk look on her face. ¡°Repay what?¡± Terrence smiled. And he said word by word, ¡°What do you think?¡± Alexa suddenly understood it and blushedpletely. ¡°Well, I¡¯ll leave.¡± While looking at Alexa¡¯s guilty expression, Terrence smiled with a rxed expression. Terrence made a few dishes that Alexa loved to eat for lunch. During this period, Alexa had always been tortured by morning sickness and had lost a lot of weight. After seeing that she finally ate a little more at noon today, Terrence felt a lot more at ease. ¡°Are we going back in the afternoon?¡± Alexa asked casually. ¡°No,¡± Terrence replied without hesitation. ¡°Since you like it here, then we will stay a little longer.¡± ¡°What about thepany?¡± Alexa knew that Terrence should be under a lot of pressure recently. After all, Hudson Group was so big that it would always attract enemies. And with the pressure from the Duran Group, Terrence must have a lot of pressure to deal with the tricky matters. Alexa was a little upset that she couldn¡¯t help Terrence at the key moment. But Terrence looked very rxed. ¡°Worried about me?¡± Without waiting for Alexa to reply, Terrence continued, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. ¡°In any case, I am also a tyrant in their hearts. It is only confirmed now.¡± After hearing this, Alexa red at Terrence with red ears. ¡°I am worried about you seriously, but you are joking.¡± ¡°My dear wife, I am wrong,¡± Terrence apologized very seriously. ¡°But you don¡¯t have to worry about the company. I¡¯ll handle it.¡± ¡°You need a helper. Is there anyone in thepany who can help you?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Terrence nodded, looked at Damarion, and then looked at Alexa¡¯s belly. ¡°Hurry up and train our two babies. Then we can retire.¡± Chapter 327 Chapter 327 Chapter 327 An Expected Daughter After realizing what Terrence was saying, Alexa blushed again. ¡°It¡¯s still early,¡± she stammered. ¡°Why did you think of this so early?¡± ¡°Not early enough for me,¡± Terrence said very seriously. ¡°These important things need to be considered in advance.¡± Damarion blinked his big eyes. He only knew to sit at the side and concentrate on eating. He did not understand what the two adults were talking about at all. Terrence pinched his cheek and smiled more gently. And he said, ¡°Damar resembles you in personality and eyebrows. He will be a warm gentleman in the future.¡± Alexa suddenly raised her hand to cover her lower abdomen with expectation in her eyes. ¡°I had a dreamst night. I feel we will have a daughter.¡± After hearing this, Terrence became joyful. He could not wait to reply, ¡°It must be a daughter, a little princess like you.¡± ¡°Why do both our children resemble me?¡± Alexa was a little embarrassed. But Terrence was already thinking about life after having a daughter. ¡°Can I braid her hair? Just like how I helped you tie your hair,¡± he said with great anticipation. ¡°I¡¯m not sure yet. It¡¯s only been two months.¡± Alexa could not help but pull Terrence back to reality. ¡°All right¡­¡± Terrence was so excited that he was a little incoherent. Finally, he kissed Alexa¡¯s hand back with tears. ¡°Alexa. I made you suffer again. I¡¯m sorry.¡± ¡°Why should you say sorry?¡± Alexa said in a gentle tone, and she seemed calm. The fact was that she should be the one who should be sorry. Because she wanted to escape from the Duran family too much, she had always regarded Terrence as a redemption. This love might not be easy. While thinking about this, Alexa pulled Terrence¡¯s sleeve. ¡°Will you be tired?¡± ¡°Why do you ask?¡± A trace of surprise shed through Terrence¡¯s eyes. ¡°I just feel that you should be tired of loving me,¡± Alexa said in a low voice. ¡°All along, I have been troubling you.¡± ¡°No,¡± Terrence answered firmly without allowing a trace of doubt. ¡°You have never been my burden.¡± Alexa gently curved the corners of his mouth, and she felt what was called happiness. It was enough for her. Terrence chatted with her for a while. And not long after, Alexa felt sleepy. She took a nap for a moment. And when she woke up again, there was a Yareli was bringing her dessert. Alexa asked curiously, ¡°Who is downstairs?¡± ¡°It¡¯s Ms. Powell. Mr. Ramsey is worried that you¡¯ll be bored, so he specially invites Ms. Powell toe here,¡± Yareli exined with a smile. After hearing that ra was here, Alexa immediately got herself clean and went downstairs. After seeing Alexa, ra went forward and gave her a warm hug. ¡°Alexa, long time no see.¡± ¡°ra, howe you have time toe over today?¡± ra blinked her eyes and revealed a smile that contained a deep meaning. ¡°It¡¯s because of the man in your family.¡± ¡°What?¡± ra had a subtle smile on her face as she reached out to touch Alexa¡¯s lower abdomen. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Mr. Ramsey is so distressed that he wants to make you happy every day, so he called me over.¡± ¡°He doesn¡¯t have to do that. It¡¯s not easy for us to meet. Of course, I wee you at any time,¡± Alexa said with an embarrassed expression. When Alexa finished speaking, ra tried to talk about something with Alexa. ¡°My brother has already left the hospital.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Alexa was quite surprised. ¡°Then his manic depression¡­¡± ¡°The doctor has already evaluated it. It won¡¯t be a big problem.¡± ra breathed a sigh of relief. She seemed to be very happy about Kieran. ¡°He finally has time to do what he likes.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± A hint of relief appeared on Alexa¡¯s expression, but there was also a hint of regret. ¡°It¡¯s a pity that I couldn¡¯t personally extend my gratitude to him.¡± After hearing this, ra mysteriously leaned closer. ¡°Alexa, did you ¡­ really like my brother?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Without waiting for Alexa¡¯s reply, ra waved her hand nonchntly. ¡°Forget it, you both have your own lives now. There is no point in asking this.¡± ¡°ra, thank you. In my most difficult period, you and Dr. Powell helped me. I don¡¯t dare imagine the days without your help¡­¡± As Alexa said this, her finger suddenly touched a ring. She lowered her head in surprise and found that ra was wearing a shining diamond ring. ra smiled. And she began to exin, ¡°I¡¯m engaged.¡± ¡°What? When did this happen?¡± Alexa asked with surprise. ¡°Who¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s the Golding family¡¯s second son, Cullen Golding.¡± ra introduced her fianc¨¦, but her smile gradually disappeared. It was not the photographer from before. Alexa suddenly understood that this was probably a marriage that was beneficial to both families. She stopped her words at the right time and did not mention this matter again. But ra smiled casually while concealing the regret in her eyes. ¡°I have to admit that he is very good to me.¡± ra wanted to say that she didn¡¯t like her fianc¨¦. She did not say the second half of the sentence. Forced marriage was inevitable for ra, who was born into such a family. ¡°So, I envy you.¡± ra said slowly with envy in her eyes. ¡°The person you love is also the person who loves you.¡± ¡°You can do it too.¡± After they chatted for a while, Edwin suddenly brought a group of bodyguards into the room. They held heavy boxes in their hands, and soon the room was full. ¡°These are¡­¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey.¡± Edwin nodded respectfully. ¡°These are baby items that Mr. Ramsey specially prepared for your expected daughter. And the room in Duckdale Vi has also been prepared.¡± ¡°Expected daughter?¡± Alexa stood up and looked at the things in the boxes. The things turned out to be pink and tender baby girl clothes. ¡°What? What is he doing?¡± Alexained helplessly. But the smile on her face did not decrease but increased. ¡°It seems that your husband is ready to wee your little princess,¡± ra understood the scene and joked. ¡°It was just a joke.¡± Alexa looked at a small piece of clothing lovingly. ¡°He took it seriously¡­¡± ¡°Well. If he had a daughter, he would definitely pamper her to no end,¡± ra said with great emotion. ¡°Damar is naughty enough. How do we dare get another one?¡± Alexa said while pretending to be helpless. Although she said that, she felt very happy. In the evening, Terrence returned from thepany with Damarion. After seeing Alexa read a book on the sofa with great interest, Terrence felt better. Terrence leaned over and kissed Alexa¡¯s lips. Then he asked gently, ¡°Has Ms. Powell been here? Have you had fun with Her?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± Alexa nodded. ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°Thank me?¡± Terrence raised an eyebrow. ¡°How do you thank me?¡± Chapter 328 Chapter 328 Chapter 328 It Is My Responsibility ¡°How do you want me to thank you?¡± Alexa asked. Terrence did not say much. He leaned down and pointed to the side of his face. Alexa understood and held his face, kissing the side of his face gently. ¡°Is this okay?¡± she asked. ¡°Maybe not enough.¡± ¡°Not enough?¡± Alexa looked away. ¡°Then I owe you first, and I will return it to you in the future.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Terrence pinched her face. ¡°I remember all of it.¡± Alexa smiled and nodded, calling Damarion back. ¡°Is Damar naughty in thepany?¡± Alexa said patiently. ¡°Damar, baby, no messing around.¡± ¡°Baby?¡± Terrence suddenly interrupted her, and Alexa was stunned for a moment. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± He sat down beside her. Terrenceined awkwardly, ¡°You never called me baby.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Alexa had a puzzled look on her face as she chuckled. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, do you know what you are talking about?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Was he reallypeting with a child for a favor? ¡°Damar is watching.¡± Alexa poked Terrence¡¯s arm. ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡± ¡°I want to hear it now.¡± Sometimes, Alexa really felt that Terrence was like a child. ¡°OK. Baby¡­¡± She stammered for a moment and suddenly realized that she couldn¡¯t call him that. ¡°Alright,¡± Terrence signed. ¡°It seems that I am not that important to you. It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± ¡°Hey, Terrence.¡± Alexa immediately grabbed his hand. She said with a red face, ¡°Baby.¡± Terrence smiled as if he had seeded, a trace of cunning shing through his eyes. ¡°This is not enough. You¡¯re going to keep saying that word tonight.¡± What? Alexa cleared her throat unnaturally and asked Terrence to leave. After dinner, the three of them chatted with each other in the garden. Rebekah and Jason suddenly came. Alexa was extremely happy and couldn¡¯t wait to go out to wee them. Rebekah immediately helped Alexa into the room and sat down. Rebekah instructed, ¡°Alexa, you must take care of yourself. I¡¯ve already arranged a professional medical team. I¡¯lle to stay with you more often.¡± ¡°Mom, it¡¯s okay. It¡¯s not that hard.¡± Jason said, ¡°Pregnant is secondary, and the most important thing is your body. Rebekah and I have always been worried.¡± To be able to receive such warm concern, Alexa felt touched. She didn¡¯t want them to worry, so she forcefully held back her tears. ¡°Terrence, you must take good care of Alexa. A medical team is necessary. In any case, even if we spend all the money, we have to keep Alexa healthy.¡± Jason was also worried. ¡°Mom, Dad, I will.¡± Although Alexa was already trying her best to restrain her emotions, when she spoke, she could not help but shed tears. Terrence immediately became nervous and carefully wiped away her tears. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t cry. Everything is fine,¡± Terrence said gently. ¡°Okay¡­¡± Feeling that this topic made Alexa sad, Rebekah looked at Jason with annoyance and then immediately changed the topic. She called for her assistant, and then a dozen servants brought the exquisite bags into the room. ¡°These are the gifts we prepared for Damar and the little Princess yet to be born.¡± Rebekah was so happy that she could not hold back her happiness. She and Jason prepared some priceless gold and silver jewelry. In addition, Rebekah solemnly took out an exquisite box. Inside was a pair of exquisite crystal pendants, and one was for Damarion. As for the other, Rebekah cheerfully introduced it. ¡°This is for our little Princess.¡± Not only that, most of the other gifts were prepared for a girl. Alexa was simply shocked. She never thought that the Ramsey family¡¯s expectations had reached an unimaginable level. ¡°Our family has never had a girl born for several generations.¡± When Rebekah said this, a trace of disappointment shed through her eyes. ¡°When I was pregnant with Terrence, I thought it was a girl.¡± ¡°Eh-hem¡­¡± Terrence, who was at the side, suddenly coughed a few times with an awkward expression. ¡°Mom, let¡¯s not talk about that matter.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± Alexa instantly became curious. Alright¡­ Terrence knew that he would have to tell her now. Terrence¡¯s expression was very strange. It seemed that the matter was a secret that he could not tell. Rebekah, on the other hand, couldn¡¯t help but look at him and smile at Jason. ¡°Terrence was very pretty when he was young. Before he was three years old, we had always raised him as a girl.¡± Jason held Rebekah in his arms. ¡°Really?¡± ¡°I still have a picture of Terrence wearing a small skirt here. At that time, I really hoped to have a daughter,¡± Rebekah smiled. ¡°Mom¡­¡± Terrence wanted to say something, but he could not say a word. However, seeing that Alexa was smiling so happily, he did not care about it anymore. However, Alexa was stillughing when she was resting at night. Terrence passed by her and suddenly had a bad premonition. ¡°What are youughing about?¡± he asked nervously. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, what would you look like in a skirt?¡± Alexa asked. Terrence was speechless. Terrence thought about it. He said with some difficulty, ¡°I can¡¯t answer this question.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Alexa blinked. ¡°But Rebekah told me that you look very cute in a skirt.¡± Terrence answered, ¡°It¡¯s fake. It¡¯s just a rumor.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± There was a bit of inquiry in Alexa¡¯s tone. Terrence couldn¡¯t stand it, and his ears turned red. Alexa thought that he would avoid it, but Terrence took the massage oil. He was beside her bed, meticulously massaging Alexa¡¯s legs. ¡°It seems to be less swollen in the past two days,¡± Terrence said, his tone C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. full of distress. ¡°Is it still that painful usually?¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt.¡± Alexa shook her head. ¡°Actually, you don¡¯t have to worry so much. I¡¯m fine.¡± ¡°It¡¯s my responsibility to take care of you.¡± Terrence finished speaking and continued to massage her. Alexa yawned and was a little sleepy, but she still talked to Terrence about what happened today. They tacitly blocked their experiences from the previous two days, and no one mentioned the days that were full of depression. ¡°It¡¯s gettingte.¡± Terrence carefully ced a pillow under her waist so that Alexa could sleep more peacefully. ¡°It¡¯s time for bed.¡± Seeing that Terrence was going to leave, Alexa felt a little insecure and pulled Terrence¡¯s sleeve. ¡°Where are you going?¡± ¡°The study. I¡¯m going to take care of something, and I¡¯ll be back soon.¡± ¡°Oh, okay. Then you have toe back early.¡± Alexa was relieved. Chapter 329 Chapter 329 Chapter 329 Be Happy Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. ¡°OK. Go to sleep.¡± Terrence carefully covered the corner of theforter for her. He left a night light for Alexa. Then he left the room softly. Inside the study room, David was sitting opposite a group of experts. ¡°Everyone, is there a result?¡± Terrence was very calm, so calm that he seemed to be able to bear whatever the result was. David took out an experimental report and exined the situation in detail. ¡°The clinical effect of the new medicine is indeed better than our expectations. If we can maintain this trend, there will be no big problem.¡± ¡°In other words, it can bepletely cured, right?¡± Terrence asked. David paused. ¡°Ten years. We have the confidence to reach this target.¡± Terrence frowned imperceptibly. The bright light reflected on his face, but it made his expression gloomy. For the first time, he took out the only cigarette box from the drawer. Terrence lit a cigarette, but just held it in his hand and didn¡¯t smoke it. David saw that his heart was heavy and wanted to say a few words offort, but Terrence nodded to them very sincerely. ¡°Thank you for your hard work. In the next few days, I will have to trouble you all,¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Mr. Ramsey,¡± they responded. When David went out, he patted Terrence on the shoulder thoughtfully. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, a miracle will definitely happen.¡± ¡°Compared to a miracle, I am more willing to believe in modern medicine.¡± Terrence smiled and seemed to be calm. David¡¯s heart was much heavier. ¡°My mentor has tried his best to contact the experts in the industry, including Dr. Fleming who has retired from public life.¡± Although the medicalmunity had a different opinion of this doctor, David still believed that it was worth a try. ¡°Thank you a lot.¡± Terrence did not say much and personally sent David away. Then, he stood alone in the court until the smell of the cigarette waspletely blown away by the night snow. However, when Terrence returned to his room, Alexa was still not asleep. ¡°Sorry,¡± Alexa smiled. ¡°I can¡¯t sleep, so I wanted to wait for you toe back.¡± ¡°What are you thinking about?¡± Terrence took the opportunity to sit down beside her bed. ¡°Nothing.¡± Alexa¡¯s fingertips poked out of the bed and gently tugged at Terrence¡¯s sleeve. ¡°You don¡¯t look good. Are you tired?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Alexa tilted her head and looked at the clock by the bed. It was already midnight. She sighed and didn¡¯t know what to say. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, at this point in time, it doesn¡¯t seem suitable to tell such a lie.¡± Terrence smiled helplessly and immediately gave up. ¡°Alright,¡± Terrence exined honestly. ¡°I just dealt with some matters in the Not wanting to make Alexa worry, Terrence quickly added. ¡°But it doesn¡¯t matter. I¡¯ll go take a bath.¡± ¡°OK.¡± Terrence kissed her eyes. ¡°I hope that when Ie out, you¡¯re already asleep.¡± He went to the bathroom. The water temperature was lower than usual. On this quiet winter night, the cool water stimted his senses. But only in this way, the emptiness and panic in his heart that had no origin would be suppressed. Terrence had been trying his best to endure. He could not show any uneasiness in front of Alexa. He could not be afraid, let alone surrender. In just five minutes, Terrence changed into a bathrobe and went out. The bed was empty. Terrence looked around in surprise. At that moment, the lock of the door behind him made a slight rattle. Alexa was wearing a cute bunny nightgown. She was carefully carrying a cup of warm milk into the room. Seeing Terrence standing in ce and staring at her, Alexa said out of curiosity. ¡°You are so fast.¡± ¡°If you want milk, just let me know. Are you cold?¡± Terrence asked. ¡°I¡¯m not that delicate. Don¡¯t think of me as fragile porcin, okay?¡± Alexa muttered. Terrence continued, ¡°OK. But you always don¡¯t know how to take care of yourself. How can I not worry?¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Alexa handed the milk to him. ¡°This is prepared for you.¡± ¡°Me?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa calmly returned to bed. She said, ¡°I will supervise you to finish this milk and then rest early. You can get up early tomorrow to work.¡± ¡°Yes, Madam.¡± Alexa couldn¡¯t help butugh, ¡°You only remember to take care of others, but you don¡¯t know how to take care of yourself.¡± She only served him a ss of milk, and he was so happy. Alexa felt touched. However, she immediatelyy down on her side to keep Terrence from noticing. This was the only night Terrence slept soundly in the past half a month. Even the next morning, he woke up one hourter than usual. Terrence instinctively reached out to his side, but there was no one there. He opened his eyes and sat up from the bed without any reluctance. ¡°Alexa?¡± Terrence called out tentatively. Alexa by the door responded, ¡°Did I wake you up?¡± When he finished speaking, Alexa appeared in front of him. Alexa had just gone downstairs to chat with her parents for a while. She had wanted to go upstairs to sleep, but Terrence had already woken up. Alexa was a little disappointed. After all, with such a handsome man sleeping next to her, she had been sleeping well. Now, Terrence might have to go to thepany to work for a whole day. However, he was not as eager as usual to change his clothes and go out. Instead, he walked up, embraced her without saying a word, and kissed her gently on the forehead. ¡°You didn¡¯t wake me up.¡± Terrence¡¯s maic voice was still a little hoarse. ¡°What are you going to do today?¡± ¡°I want to sleep all day.¡± Alexa held Terrence¡¯s waist and leaned her body into his arms. ¡°Are you going to thepany?¡± ¡°No,¡± Terrence answered neatly. ¡°I¡¯ll stay with you at home.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Alexa asked out of curiosity. ¡°Are you sure? Those board members must be gossiping about you behind your back again.¡± ¡°The work can be done at home.¡± Terrence was like a big cat, rubbing his head against the side of her neck greedily. ¡°As for the board members¡­¡± Terrence paused for a moment. He said unhurriedly, ¡°They are busy scheming and plotting all day long. They probably won¡¯t be able to experience the happiness of apanying their family.¡± Alexa chuckled. Suddenly, she was no longer so worried about him. ¡°Then can you let me cook today? I¡¯ve learned a few new dishes recently.¡± ¡°Of course, you can,¡± Terrence responded. ¡°I just want you to be happy.¡± Chapter 330 Chapter 330 Chapter 330 Don¡¯t Be Jealous Although Terrence promised to let Alexa cook, how could he bear to let her into the kitchen? Thus, in the end, Alexa was ¡°guiding¡± on the side, and Terrence helped her do all the work. When dinner was served, Damarion was already starving. But Terrence did not let the little fellow eat these dishes. He prepared some baby food for Damarion. Alexa had a rare good appetite and ate more food than usual. Finally, she did not forget to boast. ¡°I¡¯m good at cooking, right?¡± Terrence nodded approvingly. ¡°Yes, you are. I¡¯m already looking forward to cooking with you next time.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa nodded happily. Rebekah and Jason watched the two of them from the side and smiled at each other with tacit understanding. ¡°What a lovely couple! It¡¯s as sweet as honey,¡± Rebekah said meaningfully. Hearing this, Alexa immediately blushed with embarrassment. Terrence took her hand under the table. The warm hand immediately calmed Alexa. ¡°Taste this.¡± Jason immediately picked up some food for his wife and said. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you wanted to see a new set of jewelryst night? I¡¯ll go with you ¡°Thank you, darling.¡± After Rebekah finished speaking, she did not forget to remind Terrence. ¡°Terrence, learn from your father.¡± Terrence nodded obediently. ¡°Okay.¡± After dinner, the two elders went outside to enjoy themselves. Alexa yed with Damarion in the garden. After a while, Terrence carried Damarion to Yareli. ¡°Damarion has been sticking to you for a day.¡± Terrence spoke in a neutral tone, but Alexa could hear something wrong. Alexa stretched out a finger and poked his chest. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, why are you jealous of the child? You are a grown-up.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not jealous.¡± Terrence replied very seriously and held her fingers that were secretly messing around. ¡°I¡¯ll take you somewhere.¡± ¡°Oh? Where are we going?¡± Alexa asked curiously. Terrence smiled gently, ¡°To go out and have some fun. Otherwise, a certainzy cat will have insomnia again tonight because she ate too much.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Alexa nodded and went to the garage with Terrence. The snow had stopped. The road was cleaned up, and Terrence drove the car very slowly, afraid that she would feel any difort. Alexa sat in the passenger seat and looked at the twilight outside the window, lost in thought for a moment. She whispered, ¡°It¡¯s so beautiful. If only I could always see such a view.¡± Terrence replied, ¡°Okay. In the future, we will go out for a walk every night.¡± Alexa smiled gently, ¡°Deal. Then where are we going tonight?¡± ¡°You¡¯ll know in a while.¡± Terrence kept it a secret, causing Alexa to have a wild imagination. And the ce where they went was a newly opened night market. Unlike usual, there were all kinds of Christmas trees here, and the light on the trees was as bright as the stars. ¡°It will be Christmas in a few days. There will be a celebration here, and it has basically been arranged,¡± Terrence said. ¡°Shall we go in and take a look?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Terrence nodded and held her hand a little tighter. Although there were not many people here, Terrence still remained rmed. Alexa did not care about the peopleing and going and soon stopped in front of a small stall selling beautiful stones. ¡°If the two of you are interested, take your time and choose the one you like,¡± the stall owner said enthusiastically. Alexa nodded her head and carefully selected the shiny stones. ¡°Which one do you like?¡± Terrence asked. Alexa¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She instantly understood that he was going to buy whatever she liked. ¡°These stones are really beautiful. Interesting. Is there anyone you like?¡± she asked slowly. ¡°If it¡¯s something you like, I like it all.¡± Terrence said and moved closer to her,pletely protecting Alexa in his arms. Alexa gave a knowing smile and finally chose two stones, which looked like the moon. Alexa said in a serious tone, ¡°There is a legend. Wearing a stone on one¡¯s body is like being apanied by one¡¯s lover. No matter how far away we are, we will feel each other¡¯s existence.¡± Hearing this, Terrence was dazed for a moment. However, Alexa did not change her smile and asked with great anticipation. ¡°Can I make them into essories with my own hands?¡± Terrence nodded in agreement. ¡°Of course. Moreover, I am looking forward to it.¡± After buying the two stones, Alexa took a fancy to all kinds of snacks. But this time, Terrence didn¡¯t let her eat. ¡°I could make it for you when I go back.¡± ¡°It¡¯s different. Mr. Ramsey, haven¡¯t you heard that the wildflowers are always better than the flowers at home?¡± Alexa said straightforwardly. As soon as she finished speaking, Alexa felt that something was wrong. When she reacted, it was toote. ¡°Well¡­ I didn¡¯t mean that¡­¡± Alexa quickly exined, but Terrence reached out to grab her shoulder and pulled her into his arms. Terrence asked with a smile, ¡°The flower at home? The wildflower? Huh?¡± ¡°The flower at home refers to you. Oh no¡­¡± ¡°No?¡± ¡°What I mean is, there are no wildflowers! Absolutely not!¡± Alexa said resolutely. ¡°Then, that Dr. McMin is just an ordinary friend, right?¡± Doctor? What doctor? Alexa did not expect Terrence would think of Finley. However, his expression at the moment was very serious. He frowned. ¡°Why are you hesitating? He¡¯s not an ordinary friend?¡± Alexa could not help but be nervous. Just as she was about to exin, Terrence added to himself. ¡°Presumably, he¡¯s not even an ordinary friend, right?¡± His tone was quitecent, even mixed with a bit of pride. ¡°Uh. Probably he is,¡± Alexa said in a conflicted tone. Terrence pursed his lips, and he felt a little surprised. ¡°What? What do you mean?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not acquainted with him. I asionally met him a few times.¡± After Alexa replied, she suddenly changed the topic. ¡°Why are you suddenly interested in him? I remember that you haven¡¯t seen him before.¡± ¡°I heard Keyon mention him a few times. Dr. McMin is your attending doctor. It is my duty to get all the information about him.¡± Terrence¡¯s answer was very official, but Alexa could detect the hostility hidden in his words. Terrence never showed his real intention! ¡°Mr. Ramsey, you can speak whatever you want, but you can¡¯t be jealous out of nowhere.¡± Content held by N?velDrama.Org. Terrence subconsciously replied, ¡°I am not jealous. I am just investigating his background.¡± ¡°Oh? Really?¡± Terrence was slightly relieved. ¡°He is close to you and may be a potential threat. After all, my wife is so good, and there will always be some irrelevant people thinking about getting you.¡± Chapter 331 Chapter 331 Chapter 331 You Have Me Alexa squeezed out a word, but she suddenly thought of something and chose to end the topic. However, Terrence gently curved the corners of his mouth. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. You can say it.¡± Alexa tightened her back and asked tentatively. ¡°Can I?¡± Terrence nodded. ¡±Of course. You can share information about ordinary friends with me. I¡¯m all ears.¡± ¡°Alright. He is a very capable doctor. Although I am not very familiar with his background, he has already been by my side since I arrived at Ice Floral Ind.¡± ¡°By your side?¡± Terrence frowned. He was clearly not happy with this description. ¡°What does he usually do?¡± ¡°Probably preparing the medicine and making some treatment ns. Other times, he is like a block of wood,¡± Alexa said truthfully. Terrence said indifferently, and an unknown light shed through his eyes, ¡°I see. Like wood, this is best.¡± ¡°He was not interested in me.¡± ¡°What? Mrs. Ramsey feels disappointed?¡± Terrence emphasized the word ¡°Mrs. Ramsey¡±. Alexa suddenly realized that he was on the verge of jealousy. Alexa smiled dryly, ¡°Not at all. Of course not.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Terrence pulled her closer as if he was afraid that others would take her away. ¡°I will never let anyone take you away from me.¡± ¡°I will not choose anyone else either.¡± ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org . Terrence smiled with satisfaction, and the emotion in his eyes was softer than the moonlight. ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. Let¡¯s go home.¡± After he finished speaking, he firmly held her hand and walked to the side of the car. However, when his hand was about to open the car door, Terrence seemed to have noticed something and turned around without warning. Alexa followed his gaze and looked over, but she did not find anything strange. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± She tugged at his hand, and Terrence immediately came back to his senses. He replied in a rxed tone, ¡°Oh, it¡¯s fine. I was wrong. Let¡¯s go.¡± After sending Alexa in the car, Terrence quietly nced to the side of the road. The inclothes bodyguards hidden in the crowd all walked toward the ce where he had just looked at. Alexa had a great time tonight. After returning home, Terrence quickly coaxed her to sleep. Late at night, he quietly walked out of the room. The security leader was waiting quietly in front of the study. After seeing Terrence, he bowed respectfully. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, we have already sent people to check. There is nothing wrong.¡± ¡°There is no one suspicious?¡± Terrence narrowed his eyes dangerously. ¡°We did not find anything either.¡± Terrence nodded and motioned for the man to leave. ¡°OK. I understand.¡± The room was very quiet. Terrence sat alone in the chair, his expression somewhat grave. A momentter, he pinched the space between his eyebrows somewhat tiredly. He always felt as if someone was secretly monitoring them. However, the people under him were all excellent, so there was nothing wrong with the investigation. Perhaps, he was really too sensitive. It was snowing again tonight. Terrence lowered his gaze and quietly went to Damarion¡¯s room. The nanny on duty was very serious as she stood guard by the bed. When she saw Terrencee in, she smiled and nodded. She then went outside. Damarion had grown up a lot, and the way he slept was getting quieter, unlike before when he often cried. After Terrence warmed his hand, he gently held Damarion¡¯s small hand. The little fellow whispered a few words. But he seemed to sense Terrence, Damarion quickly fell asleep again. At that moment, Terrencepletely removed the cold hostility in front of outsiders and gently traced his son¡¯s eyebrows with his gaze. Alexa said that Damarion was adorable. Indeed. Terrence smiled quietly and lovingly. This little fellow was usually full of energy and looked exactly the same as Alexa. Now that he was asleep, he looked very much like Terrence. Terrence helped Damarion cover the corner of the quilt and then adjusted the indoor heating to a suitable temperature. He wanted to take another look at Damarion and leave, but he inexplicably fell asleep by Damarion¡¯s bedside. Early the next morning, Terrence woke up on time. He moved his body and opened his eyes to see the nket draped over him. A slender figure slowly passed by him and quietly closed the window to prevent the sunlight from entering and disturbing the two of them. ¡°Alexa?¡± Hearing Terrence¡¯s voice, Alexa looked back with some surprise. ¡°Are you awake? It¡¯s still early. Do you want to go back to your room to sleep?¡± she asked softly. ¡°No, I¡¯m good.¡± Terrence¡¯s focus fell on her. ¡°Why are you up so early?¡± ¡®I am here to find you.¡± Alexa said as her expression suddenly became a little serious. She was worried about something. ¡®Seeing that you are sleeping soundly, I did not wake you up. Although the temperature is fine, it is still very easy to catch a cold without a quilt.¡± Terrence said apologetically, ¡°I am fine. Sorry to make you worry.¡± Alexa shook her head and held Terrence¡¯s neck intimately, kissing his lower jaw. ¡°Breakfast is ready. I¡¯ll wait for you downstairs.¡± ¡°Littlezy cat, you are a busy bee today!¡± Terrence took the opportunity to hold Alexa¡¯s waist and noticed that her waist seemed to have changed a little. He immediately restrained his movements and covered her lower abdomen with iparable devotion. ¡°It seems to have grown up a little today.¡± ¡°It¡¯s still early. The baby is still small. No one will notice I¡¯m pregnant when I wear winter clothes,¡± Alexa said with a smile. After saying that, Alexa suddenly asked. ¡¯I want to go to thepany with you today. Is that okay?¡± ¡°Why do you want to go to thepany?¡± Terrence paused and began to think about it. And then he smiled. ¡°Of course, I wee you toe and check on me at any time.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going to check on you.¡± Alexa changed the topic. ¡°I want to help you deal with thepany¡¯s affairs, and as the saying goes, a pregnant woman will be stupid for three years. If I don¡¯t use my brain, I may really be stupid.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t deny yourself like this. You are outstanding. How can you be stupid?¡± Terrence did not refuse and readily agreed to her request to go to thepany. ¡°You are the hostess of Hudson Group. You have the right to make decisions for all the affairs in the company.¡± Alexa was really surprised that Terrence was so supportive of her going to thepany. After all, many of her friends had been pregnant, and their husbands had asked them to resign and stay at home. Knowing her doubts, Terrence exined seriously. ¡°I am very supportive of you realizing your own value, and I never thought that women should be imprisoned in the territory of the family. You only need to be at ease and boldly do what you want to do. You have the right to feel happiness in your life.¡± Alexa imperceptibly froze, and her heart felt warm. ¡°There is no need to worry. You have me. I will take care of everything. Chapter 332 Chapter 332 Chapter 332 This Is My Lover Alexa didn¡¯t know if she could express her emotions in words. In the end, she could only say in a very serious tone. ¡°Terrence, thank you.¡± ¡°My pleasure.¡± Terrence touched her cheek softly. ¡°You are not only the love of my life but also my eternal faith. Because it is you, I am not afraid of the difficulty of life and can walk step by step to your side,¡± Terrence said firmly. C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. This was not a carefully nned confession. It was the sincerest thought in Terrence¡¯s heart. Alexa¡¯s eyes were filled with tears. Although she had tried her best to restrain her emotions, tears fell down her cheeks. Her voice was a little choked up. ¡®Then, from now on, we will have a happier life, right?¡± ¡°Sure,¡± Terrence replied without thinking, ¡°I will never let go of your hand.¡± After Alexa calmed down, they went downstairs together. Rebekah and Jason did not notice Alexa¡¯splicated feelings. Moreover, they were looking forward to Alexa¡¯s trip today. ¡°Alexa, is there something you need to do today?¡± Rebekah asked with concern. ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa nodded and smiled, ¡°I n to go to thepany with Terrence today.¡± ¡°I see. That¡¯s good,¡± Jason happily praised and reminded Terrence, ¡®Terrence, then you have to take good care of Alexa.¡± ¡°I will.¡± After breakfast, Alexa said goodbye to Damarion and then went out with Terrence. She had not been to thepany for a long time. Now, besides excitement, she felt a little nervous. ¡°Terrence, I will work hard and won¡¯t cause trouble for you.¡± Hearing this, Terrence closed the tablet and looked at her gently. ¡°You won¡¯t cause any trouble for me, and that¡¯s not trouble for me,¡± he said in a deep voice. ¡°But I haven¡¯t dealt withpany affairs for a long time after all. If I make a mistake¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Terrence smiled warmly andforted her. ¡®I can teach you if you are not familiar with work. Even if there is a mistake, just modify it in time. It is not a big deal,¡± said Terrence seriously. Terrence had always been serious and decisive in his work and did not allow any mistakes. This was why Hudson Group could be a toppany around the world in just a few years. But now he had given her enough tolerance and patience, guiding her to adapt to society step by step. Alexa could not help but clench Terrence¡¯s hand until the driver parked the car in the garage of the Hudson Group building. She then subconsciously let go of Terrence, but after he got out of the car, he stood by the door and extended his hand to her again without thinking. ¡°Be careful. Just take your time.¡± After holding her hand, Terrence did not let go again. Alexa walked side by side with him. However, Terrence did not take her up from the garage elevator but went toward the hall. At that time, there were already many employees passing by. Although most of them were neers, Alexa still recognized a few of them. The moment they saw Terrence and Alexa, they still felt more or less a little embarrassed. However, because of Terrence¡¯s strong aura, no one dared to gossip around them. Alexa greeted the girls next to her amiably. Unexpectedly, they seemed to be frightened and stood still. ¡°Well, okay¡­¡± Alexa¡¯s voice was so low that only Terrence could hear it. ¡®I seem to have scared them.¡± Although Terrence did not speak, he silently held her hand even tighter. A momentter, Alexa heard a gentle greeting from beside her. ¡°Good morning, everyone,¡± said Terrence. Alexa looked over, and Terrence had a gentle smile on his face. At that moment, he was looking at the girls. As soon as he finished speaking, the girls said resolutely. ¡°Hello, Mr. Ramsey.¡± ¡°This is my love.¡± Hearing his introduction, Alexa suddenly flushed. It was the first time that Terrence had introduced Alexa to them officially. At that moment, not only the girls, but even the other employees also smiled. ¡°Hello, Mrs. Ramsey.¡± Everyone soon greeted Alexa. Alexa nodded politely in return, appearing friendly and enthusiastic. It wasn¡¯t until Terrence brought her into the president¡¯s elevator that the lively scene finally stopped. ¡°Well¡­¡± Alexa breathed a sigh of relief and asked, ¡°Do you usually encounter this kind of situation when you go to work?¡± ¡°No,¡± Terrence said concisely. ¡°But why¡­¡± ¡°I wanted everyone to know that I have a very outstanding wife, so I took you there.¡± Seeing him exin so strictly, Alexa couldn¡¯t help butugh. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, it seems that you love me so much.¡± ¡°Do I?¡± Terrence looked at her and smiled. ¡°Yes.¡± While they were chatting, Terrence brought Alexa to his office. He had already asked Edwin to arrange a new office area in advance. The tables and chairs were all suitable for pregnant women. The white roses she liked were also trimmed and ced in the vase. Compared to Terrence¡¯s office area, this area seemed like a ce for vacation. As for work, Terrence gave Alexa a simple task that could be used to kill time, and it was not tiring. Alexa was very efficient, and it did not take long for her to finish. Terrence did not allow her to contact electronic products too much, so she silently looked through the paper. Soon, Alexa looked at Terrence inexplicably. He was reviewing documents in his office, a pair of gold-rimmed sses on his delicate nose, adding a bit of rigorous and calm temperament. The winter sun gently sprinkled into the room, and Terrence just happened to be in the sunlight, looking so charming. Alexa was attracted by the scene. The scene in front of her was more pleasing to the eyes than any famous painting in the world. However, she did not notice that Terrence had already put down his pen and looked over. ¡°Are you satisfied with what you have seen?¡± Hearing Terrence¡¯s voice, Alexa suddenly came back to her senses. ¡°What?¡± she answered. Terrence chuckled, got up, walked to her desk, and gracefully bent over to stare at Alexa closely. ¡°It seems that you can¡¯t take your eyes off me.¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± Sure enough, he had noticed it. Alexa¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up with a bright smile. She raised her hand and put it on her lower abdomen, saying to him. ¡°It was your daughter who wanted to see you. I did it on her behalf.¡± ¡°Well, so that¡¯s how it is.¡± Terrence nodded. He leaned over the desk and reached out to lift Alexa¡¯s jaw. ¡°Then, is it close enough for you to see clearly? Do I need to get a little closer?¡± Chapter 333 Chapter 333 Chapter 333 Looking at You Makes Me Happy ¡®That¡¯s enough, of course¡­¡± Alexa blushed as she stammered, while Terrence teased her. ¡°I¡¯m your husband. Why do you blush so easily?¡± ¡°Blush?¡± Alexa said subconsciously, ¡°I blushed because it¡¯s just a little hot.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Terrence took her hand and felt the warmth of Alexa¡¯s palm. He was slightly relieved. ¡°The temperature is just right. It¡¯s not hot,¡± he said in a low voice. Alexa looked at him and was stunned for a moment. At that time, someone knocked on the door of the office. Before Terrence could react, Alexa quickly took back her hand and pretended that nothing had happened. ¡®Alright, go back to work.¡± Terrence looked at his palm in frustration. The hand frost she used today smelled like roses, and the fragrance seemed to linger in his heart. What a pity. He could have held her hand longer¡­ Terrence tidied his tie and let the person outside the doore in with a serious face. Aron walked into the office casually and the smile on his face became brighter when he saw Alexa. But¡­ Why did he feel that there was something awkward with Terrence¡¯s expression? Aron didn¡¯t think he had offended Terrence recently. Terrence looked at his palm again. Obviously, he was annoyed with Aron, who ruined the atmosphere just now. ¡°Hello, Alexa,¡± Aron smiled and greeted Alexa. ¡°Why did youe to thepany today? Don¡¯t worry, Terrence has always been a good man and will never flirt outside. Besides, I¡¯m here to keep an eye on him for you.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Terrence said indifferently. ¡°If you have nothing to say, you can just leave now.¡± ¡®Wait a minute,¡± Aron said firmly, ¡°I came here to see Alexa today.¡± Seeing that Terrence was about to be annoyed by Aron again, Alexa immediately said. ¡®I wanted toe to thepany to help, so I came.¡± ¡°Help?¡± Aron nced at Terrence without fear. ¡°Well, I didn¡¯t expect that Terrence would let you be so tired.¡± ¡°Aron!¡± Terrence called out his name as a warning. Aron was shocked and turned to look at Terrence¡¯s cold smile. ¡°Alright.¡± Aron immediately became serious and then handed a document bag to Alexa. ¡°This is what Keyon asked me to transfer to you.¡± When it came to Keyon, Alexa¡¯s smile disappeared. Terrence immediately walked up to her and asked Aron with vignce. ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°He showed it to me. It¡¯s a real estate transaction contract,¡± Aron said casually. Alexa took out the document inside. It was a contract. ¡°He transferred the building property right of the Duran¡¯s house to me.¡± ¡°It seems that he will not return to New York for a long time,¡± Aron added. Terrence nced over and Aron immediately stopped talking. Alexa understood that Terrence was worried about her. She silently held Terrence¡¯s hand and showed a relieved smile. In fact, Alexa herself did not know what she was feeling right now. In short, she felt somehowplicated. To some extent, this was perhaps Keyon¡¯spromise. He could not openly wish them happiness, so he chose this method to show it. Was there such a big gap between the Duran family and the Ramsey family? But Terrence and his elders had never mentioned these things in front of her. Seeing that Alexa was at a loss, Terrence tried to make here to her senses. ¡®If you want, I can go to take a look at the Duran¡¯s house with you.¡± However, Alexa just shook her head. ¡°No need,¡± she said slowly, ¡°There is nothing left to pack there.¡± Alexa just wanted to let those memories leave there. ¡°Okay.¡± Aron agreed and sat down on the sofa. Alexa put away the document and calmed down before walking over to him. ¡°Mr. Lambert, sorry to trouble you. Thank you,¡¯ Alexa said sincerely. C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. When she finished speaking, she was about to make some coffee for Aron. When Aron saw this, he instantly got up in fright. ¡°Alexa¡­¡± Aron suddenly stopped her, rushing to snatch the ss. ¡°I¡¯ll do it myself¡­¡± He smiled apologetically and turned to look at Terrence¡¯s expression¡­ Sure enough, Terrence was wearing a cold and gloomy face. Aron felt a chill down his back, and he instantly became nervous. Although Terrence always had a cold expression on his face, he was especially soft to someone¡­ Alexa was his beloved woman, so he was very concerned about her. Fortunately, he found her in time, otherwise, the Duran family would not have had such a good ending. When Aron thought of this, he immediately put down the ss and said under the pressure. ¡°I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do. Alexa, I¡¯ll leave first ande out to see you next time. Bye.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa nodded, and then she realized that Aron¡¯s expression was strange. She turned to look at Terrence, who had a gentle smile on his face. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Terrence asked softly. ¡°No, maybe it¡¯s just my illusion. I feel like Mr. Lambert is afraid of something,¡± Alexa said thoughtfully. ¡°Is he? Maybe today¡¯s coffee doesn¡¯t suit his taste.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Alexa did not ask for much and skipped the topic. Terrence returned to his desk and continued to deal with today¡¯s work. But he was not busy for long and even finished his work two hours earlier than usual. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± ¡®What? Where are we going?¡± Alexa was led out of the office by him with confusion. ¡°Don¡¯t we need to work?¡± ¡°The work of thepany has been dealt with in advance,¡± Terrence replied in an orderly manner, ¡°The task for me now is to make you happy.¡± ¡°But, I am happy now,¡± Alexa said bluntly, ¡°Just looking at you makes me happy.¡± ¡°Then I will make you happier.¡± Terrence kept her in suspense and left thepany with her. Christmas was around the corner, and the city became bustling. Alexa was enjoying the atmosphere when Terrence stopped the car in front of the flower market. At the same time, Yareli also brought Damarion there. ¡°Are we going to shop here today?¡± Alexa asked expectantly. ¡°There will often be some flowers of good quality. Why don¡¯t we choose some to decorate the garden?¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Alexa readily agreed. Actually, there were professional people responsible for these things, but Alexa said that she wanted to choose the flowers herself some time ago, so Terrence took her here today. He did not like such a bustling ce before, but now that he was holding Damarion in one hand and Alexa in the other, Terrence felt so warm in his heart. Chapter 334 Chapter 334 Chapter 334 Not a Big Deal Alexa picked a bunch of white roses, and Damarion was attracted by the stall on the other side selling small animals and chose a few goldfish. Damarion had nevere into contact with such interesting creatures. Even when eating, he was unwilling to let go of the fish box. Terrence could not do anything but lovingly fed him. After lunch, Terrence went back to thepany, and Alexa took Damarion to the coastal road. It was winter now, and the sea in New York had also turned cold. Alexa held Damarion¡¯s hand and slowly walked along the road. The sea was very quiet, and Alexa was lost in thought. The people who had been around her were almost gone. This city had given her a lot of valuable memories, but at the same time, it had also seen a lot of her separation from the ones she loved. Perhaps there had been some people that she would never meet again. It was only when Damarion tugged at her finger that Alexa came back from her thought. ¡°Damarion, what¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Mom, uncle,¡± Damarion said while pointing to the front. ¡°Uncle hase to pick us up.¡± ¡°Uncle?¡± Alexa was dazed for a moment. But how could Keyon be in New York now? ¡°Damarion, uncle is not here. You must have been mistaken.¡± Alexa exined patiently. ¡°But, it really is uncle.¡± Damarion insisted. Alexa looked in the direction of his finger and saw the familiar figure. There was Keyon dressed in a ck suit leaning against a car. He was quietly looking at them. ¡°Damarion, let¡¯s go back.¡± Alexa immediately wanted to turn around. ¡°Mom, are we not going to greet uncle?¡± Damarion asked in confusion. He didn¡¯t understand why Alexa was acting like this. ¡°Damarion, you¡¯ve mistaken uncle for someone else.¡± Alexa smiled reluctantly, wanting to take Damarion away. But Damarion suddenly became stubborn, refusing to leave. ¡°Damarion!¡± Alexa had a rare serious expression as she called out Damarion¡¯s name. The little fellow looked a little frightened. Damarion looked at Alexa with tears in his eyes. He pouted but did not cry. Alexa felt a sharp pain in her heart, and a sense of guilt immediately surged upMeanwhile, Keyon had already walked over to them. ¡°Alexa.¡± Hearing his voice, Alexa¡¯s movements slowed down involuntarily. But when she turned around, Alexa acted indifferent.She did not reply. ¡°Uncle!¡± Damarion¡¯s crisp voice rang out. He already opened his arms, waiting for Keyon to hug him like before. But Keyon stood still. He looked at Alexa as if asking for permission. ¡°Can I¡­¡± Staring at Keyon, Alexa released Damarion¡¯s hand before he finished the sentence. Damarion immediately threw himself into Keyon¡¯s arms. Keyon also instinctively rxed his movements. He smiled sincerely at Damarion. ¡°Damarion, did you miss me?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Damarion responded instantly. Alexa¡¯s eyes were dry because of the sea breeze. At the same time, the inclothes bodyguards arranged by Terrence also quietly came over to her side. She shook her head and motioned for them to leave.But Alexa did not put away her guard against Keyon. ¡°Why are you here in New York?¡± ¡°Something on business,¡± Keyon was as gentle as before, ¡°Did you receive the pack I asked Aron to give you?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Alexa nodded, ¡°But I don¡¯t need it. I won¡¯t go back.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Keyon responded softly. He was not surprised by her answer. ¡°How are you recently? Do you cough at night? Are your hands and feet still cold?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Alexa answered Keyon mechanically. Keyon suddenly stopped talking. Silence filled the air. Damarion presented the little goldfish in front of Keyon like presenting a treasure and babbled sharing the recent interesting things. Keyon listened intently, talking back and forth with Damarion.Alexa stood at the side and watched them like an outsider. ¡°When are you going back?¡± Alexa suddenly asked. The light in Keyon¡¯s eyes dimmed. Keyon had prepared a lot to say, but at this moment, he couldn¡¯t utter a word. ¡°After finishing the work,¡± he finally said lightly, ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be longer than two days.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Alexa responded coldly. It seemed that she was not interested in the purpose of his trip at all. After all, she did not have a good memory of Ice Floral Ind. ¡°Alexa, are you free tonight?¡± ¡°Why?¡± She was on guard against him. Keyon¡¯s eyes quickly shed with sadness, but he soon concealed his emotions.He maintained a smile on his face. ¡°We haven¡¯t met for a while. How about having dinner together?¡± Alexa thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. When Alexa got into Keyon¡¯s car, her phone suddenly rang. She didn¡¯t need to look to know it was Terrence, but she felt a little embarrassed to answer it in front of Keyon. Alexa hung up the phone and replied to Terrence with a message, but soon, the phone rang again. She frowned slightly and pursed her lips in embarrassment. A momentter, Keyon, who had been concentrating on driving, suddenly spoke up. ¡°Take it,¡± he said calmly, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Keyon waspromising. Alexa felt sad. Nheless, when Terrence called again, she picked it up. ¡°Where are you now?¡± Terrence asked straightly. His voice was full of anxiety. ¡°We¡­,¡± Alexa subconsciously paused, ¡°We are with my brother.¡± No one spoke a word. It was so quiet that Keyon could even feel the silence on the other side of the phone. Keyon could have turned the car around and sent Alexa and Damarion back, but his desire of seeing her surpassed his reason. It was not easy for the two of them to sit down and talk peacefully. Keyon did not want anyone to disturb them. C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. Let alone that the person was Terrence. Alexa carefully exined the situation to Terrence. Hearing her words, Keyon felt like a shady stranger. The callsted five full minutes. Keyon chuckled. He pretended to be indifferent. ¡°He is very concerned about you. Is he afraid that I will kidnap you?¡± Unexpectedly, Alexa seriously defended Terrence. ¡°That¡¯s not what he meant. He¡¯s just worried. He has always been like this.¡± The more Alexa exined, the more painful Keyon felt. Realizing that Alexa was cautiously alienating him, Keyon was heartbroken. ¡°You don¡¯t have to be so nervous,¡± Keyon forced a smile, ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal.¡± ¡°It¡¯s better to exin it clearly,¡± Alexa said word by word, ¡°To avoid misunderstanding.¡± ¡°Alexa, you are different now.¡± Keyon smiled bitterly. He felt his heart was torn up. Chapter 335 Chapter 335 Chapter 335 I¡¯ll Protect Her From Now On ¡°It¡¯s okay. After so many things, there will finally be some changes.¡± Alexa did not seem to have any emotional fluctuations. ¡°After you left, Dr. McMin went to the medical center to do research,¡± Keyon said in a calm tone. ¡°Because of his dereliction of duty, dad gets very angry. Considering that he¡¯s a specially hired doctor, dad doesn¡¯t make things difficult for him in the end.¡± Alexa remembered that on the night she nned to leave Ice Floral Ind, Finley didn¡¯t stay with her. At first, she thought that it was Finley¡¯s negligence, butter, it did not seem to be the case. Finley was a meticulous man and followed Christina¡¯s orders to the extreme. How could he disappear that night? Alexa pursed her lips and felt that she was unbelievably naive. ¡°Keyon, tell me the truth¡­ What exactly is Finley¡¯s identity?¡± Alexa asked indifferently. As Keyon paused, Alexa seemed to have guessed right. She felt very familiar with Finley, but she couldn¡¯t recall who he was. The only possibility was¡­ ¡°Keyon, have you changed my memory?¡± This topic was so burdensome that Alexa did not want to mention it at this time. But she still could not easily let go of these things. Ever since she was young, Keyon had always been the person she trusted the most. Alexa couldn¡¯t understand why Keyon had lied to her. After a short silence, Damarion in the back row pouted prettily. ¡°Mom, uncle, I¡¯m hungry¡­¡± Content held by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Damar, are you hungry?¡± Keyon chuckled, his tone instantly bing very gentle. ¡°Then let¡¯s go eat now.¡± A momentter, Keyon parked the car in front of a restaurant. Alexa recognized the ce where he used to bring her. After so many years, the owner of the restaurant, Emily Thomas, still remembered them. ¡°You guys haven¡¯t been here for a long time. Time flies. Is this your child? So cute,¡± thedy boss smiled and greeted them. Alexa held Damarion¡¯s hand and smiled gently, but there was hidden darkness in her eyes. She kept a little distance from Keyon while he acted as if he didn¡¯t notice at all, still ordering like before. Finally, he asked carefully. ¡°Excuse me, Emily. Can you make baby food?¡± ¡°Yes, of course!¡± Keyon nodded and ordered a few of Damarion¡¯s favorite dishes. Alexa was somewhat surprised. He knew more about Damarion than Alexa did. After Emily took away the menu, Alexa turned to look out the window. It was Damarion¡¯s first timeing to this kind of ce to eat. Thus, he was very curious about everything around him. He leaned in Keyon¡¯s arms and babbled, not affected by the awkward atmosphere between them at all. ¡°Alexa, I will find an opportunity to exin what you care about in the future.¡± ¡°I will listen to it at any time,¡± Alexa asked very rationally. ¡°When are you going to say it?¡± Hearing her tone, Keyon felt that they had drifted apart. ¡°At least, wait until the recent matters are settled,¡± Keyon patiently exined. ¡°The Niebergall family¡­¡± ¡°Sorry, I camete.¡± A steady male voice suddenly sounded. In the blink of an eye, Terrence leisurely walked to Alexa. He was wearing a dark gray suit with a tailored suit. It seemed that he had juste from the company. Terrence showed a polite smile. ¡°Mr. Duran, long time no see.¡± Terrence¡¯s polite tone sounded a little strange. Keyon chuckled and held Damarion in her arms. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, you seem to be very interested in our family¡¯s chat.¡± It looked like they were going to quarrel again. Alexa was about to mediate the dispute when Terrence grabbed her shoulder and got closer to her. ¡°Aren¡¯t we family?¡± Terrence replied with ease. ¡°Mr. Duran, you¡¯re my wife¡¯s Keyon. I have never treated you as an outsider.¡± In their conversation, Keyon did not have the upper hand. He pursed his thin lips and simply ignored Terrence. However, Terrence did not let him go easily. ¡°Damar,e here.¡± Damarion was stunned, looked at Keyon, and then looked at Terrence. It seemed difficult for Damarion to choose between them. However, a momentter, Terrence smiled even more gently, but his tone was a bit more irresistible. ¡°Damar?¡± Hearing Terrence¡¯s call again, Damarion did not hesitate at all, directly broke free from Keyon¡¯s embrace, and walked towards him. ¡°Good baby.¡± Terrence touched his head and praised him from the bottom of his heart. Damarion grinned at him, but the smile on Keyon¡¯s face faded. ¡°When we were on Ice Floral Ind, Damar liked me very much,¡± Keyon said emotionally. ¡°Now since he knows many people, he doesn¡¯t focus on me.¡¯ ¡°He¡¯s still young. Of course, he is more attached to his parents,¡± Terrence said. ¡°So what if you¡¯re his uncle?¡± The atmosphere, which had been somewhat relieved with great difficulty, became somewhat tense at this moment. Fortunately, at this time, the waiter came to serve the dishes. It was not a very high-end restaurant, which at least was far from Terrence¡¯s standard. Alexa was very worried that Terrence would not like this ce, but he ate the food on the te so carefully. ¡°This is the restaurant you used to go to?¡± he asked curiously. ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa nodded. ¡°This ce is close to home, so Ie here often.¡± ¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡± Terrence nodded while Alexa asked worriedly. ¡°Do you like it?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Terrence beamed gently. ¡°It¡¯s very delicious. I was just thinking that it would be good if I could meet you earlier.¡± At that moment, Keyon quietly put down the tableware and rolled his eyes at Terrence. ¡°It¡¯s useless for you to appear earlier,¡± he said very impolitely. ¡°All those years, I have been apanying Alexa. I will never allow anyone with ill intentions to get close to her.¡± Alexa took a sip of water and thought about what to say. Keyon was always full of hostility towards Terrence. She was a little tired. Terrence, however, nodded deeply and showed a grateful look. ¡°Thank you very much for your protection of my wife, Mr. Duran,¡± he said in a firm tone. ¡°From now on, I will protect her well. Don¡¯t worry.¡± When he said thest half of his sentence, Terrence deliberately lengthened histone. Hearing it, Keyon only felt that this sentence was full of provocation. Keyon thought, I¡¯ve already said that Terrence is unreliable. I don¡¯t know why Alexa has taken a fancy to him. Keyon tried to maintain a calm expression, not even showing a little dissatisfaction. The mealtime was quite frightening. When they finished the meal, Alexa said a few words to Keyon, and then couldn¡¯t wait to leave with Terrence. Chapter 336 Chapter 336 Chapter 336 Love Will Eventually Come Watching their car pass by him, Keyon didn¡¯te back to his senses in the street for a long time. He made Alexa unhappy again¡­ Keyon felt a little guilty, but at the same time, he was also very agitated. As a result, when he received Giselle¡¯s electric call, Keyon¡¯s tone was not very good. Giselle was frightened and said in a wronged voice. ¡°Keyon, I feel a little ufortable. When will youe back to apany me?¡± ¡°Find a family doctor. I wille back after I finish dealing with things.¡± ¡°An hour ago, you also said that. What are you busy with? Don¡¯t tell me you forgot about me?¡± Giselle was a little dissatisfied. ¡°It¡¯s a private matter. You don¡¯t have to ask so much.¡± ¡°Okay, I got it.¡± Giselle swallowed her anger in dissatisfaction and hung up the phone reluctantly. She walked back and forth in the living room with a bump. After getting angry, she wanted to smash things again. But because Laura Miller, Giselle¡¯s mother, was also present, Giselle forcibly suppressed her anger so that her eyes turned red. Giselle called a servant and ordered fiercely. ¡°Go and find out who Keyon has seen today.¡± ¡°Mrs. Duran, Mr. Duran said that we are not allowed to investigate his whereabouts.¡± The servant spoke carefully, but she did not expect to anger Giselle in an instant. Without a word, Giselle pped her directly. ¡°Do it as I say. Do you take my words seriously?¡± ¡°Yes, Mrs. Duran. I will go now.¡± The servant covered her face and ran out crying. However, the more Giselle thought about it, the angrier she became. She picked up a vase at the side and smashed it out. Due to her growing belly, the servants did not dare to make a sound and could only silently endure. ¡°All of youe to lie to me, right? He has an affair, right?¡± Giselle shouted hysterically. ¡°Giselle!¡± A stern middle-aged woman¡¯s voice sounded. Then, as if Giselle had been pressed to a stop, she threw away the pillow in her hand with a pale face. ¡°Mom,¡± she shouted, still furious. Laura nced at her angrily and asked all the servants to leave. ¡°Look at you. What are you saying? You are a member of the Niebergall family. What¡¯s the difference between you and a shrew now?¡± Laura scolded unhappily. ¡°Mom, I just want him to care more about me.¡± Giselle sat on the sofa angrily and pointed at her belly. ¡°I am still carrying his baby!¡± She thought that Laura would give up, but Laura darkened her face more. ¡°You are not officially married yet. You are pregnant before marriage.¡± ¡°So what¡­¡± ¡°Pregnancy before marriage is already very degrading. Why are you so shameless to publicize it?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think I am ashamed of our child. I am willing to do this,¡± Giselle emphasized. ¡°Forget it.¡± Laura sighed helplessly without patience. ¡°If not for the fact that the Duran family is wealthy, your father and I would never agree.¡± Content held by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter whether you agree or not. I love him.¡± ¡°Love?¡± Laura only felt that it was funny. ¡°Giselle, you are about to be Mrs. Duran. It is not a good thing to be so innocent.¡± Giselle felt a little guilty and dared not look straight into her eyes. ¡°You added something to his wine that night, right?¡± Giselle was speechless. ¡°You should know very well how you got pregnant.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°You can seek power and wealth with this baby, but you should never dream of seeking his love.¡± After Laura finished speaking, Giselle¡¯s face was already pale beyond words. At this time, the sound of a car engine came from outside the door. Laura nced at the door calmly and said indifferently. ¡°He¡¯s back. Go ahead.¡± After saying this, Laura went upstairs. Keyon stepped into the room, holding a gift box in his hand. He had been ready tofort her, but Giselle hugged him to his surprise. ¡°Keyon, you¡¯re back¡­¡± Giselle said without a sense of security, and could not help but hug him closer. It seemed that no one could snatch him away in this way. Sensing that she had a lump in her throat, Keyon immediately slowed down histone. ¡°Sorry, it was my fault just now. I didn¡¯t consider your emotions.¡± Hearing Keyon say this, Giselle was quite surprised. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± She then grinned at him, gently holding his hand and walking to the table. ¡°The dishes are cold. I¡¯ll heat them.¡± ¡°No need. Just let the servants do these things. Have you and your mom eaten it?¡± Keyon stopped her. ¡°Mom has already eaten. I¡¯m waiting for you,¡± Giselle said obediently. ¡°Sorry for your long wait.¡± Keyon had just returned from the restaurant, so he wasn¡¯t hungry. But he sat down at the table somehow. Giselle was continuously looking for topics to talk about. Keyon did not end up in a hurry like he usually did. Instead, he was very patient to talk to her about what happened today. It was just like an ordinary couple. Giselle was a bit absent-minded and found it hard to believe. Love will eventuallye, which isn¡¯t a fantasy, wondered Giselle. She suddenly wanted to cry, but in front of Keyon, she still maintained her smile. Her mother was right. She could not threaten him with the baby. Instead, she had to make him truly fall in love with her. As Giselle thought this, Keyon¡¯s phone suddenly rang. She immediately got up and was about to help him get it, but Keyon took it away warily. He nced at the phone and then hurriedly went to the balcony. Who called him? Giselle felt a little bit heartbroken. Meanwhile, Keyon¡¯s tone became so gentle. ¡°Alexa, what¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Keyon.¡± After he heard Alexa¡¯s voice, Keyon¡¯s cold face immediately lit up with a smile. ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°It just urred to me that the day after tomorrow is your birthday.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°So I want to tell you a happy birthday in advance.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it still early? Why did you say it today?¡± Keyon asked patiently. ¡°Aren¡¯t you going back to Ice Floral Ind in two days? Maybe I won¡¯t be able to contact you,¡± Alexa said softly. Then the smile on Keyon¡¯s face froze in an instant. ¡°Alexa¡­¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ve said everything I need to say. Have a safe journey.¡± With that, Alexa paused for two seconds and finally hung up without a word. The entire callsted for less than two minutes. It was as if she waspleting a certain task. In the past, she and Keyon would never be like this. Alexa was absent-minded for a moment as she held her phone. A pair of strong arms slowly wrapped around her waist from behind. ¡°You said happy birthday to him?¡± Terrence rubbed her neck. ¡°What about me?¡± Chapter 337 Chapter 337 Chapter 337 A Gift in Return ¡°You?¡± Alexa even considered the date very seriously. ¡°Isn¡¯t your birthday still early?¡± she said seriously. ¡°March 21. I didn¡¯t remember wrongly, right?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Terrence nodded, not intending to let it go. ¡°But you said happy birthday to him in advance.¡± ¡°So, you want it too?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want it.¡± Terrence suddenly changed the topic. ¡°A birthday blessing is still more meaningful on the day of a birthday.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa nodded, thinking that this topic was over. Unexpectedly, Terrence still held her in his arms and refused to let go. ¡°But I didn¡¯t get your birthday blessing. Can I ask for some otherpensation?¡± Alexa was stunned and found that he meant it. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, are you serious? You¡¯re even jealous of my brother?¡± she asked with great interest. ¡°What? I can¡¯t? I don¡¯t want any man to be too close to you,¡± he answered as he took it for granted. ¡°How about I make arrangements for dinner tonight?¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Although he was still the one to cook in the end, Terrence was still very happy. ¡°I have to go to the study to finish my work. It will be done soon.¡± ¡°Fine.¡± Alexa looked up and caught his kiss. ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you.¡± Terrence kissed from her delicate lips to her eyes. It was only when Alexa was breathing quickly that he reluctantly let go of her. After watching him leave the room, Alexa suddenly turned pale and hurriedly went to the bathroom. She thought it was just an ordinary morning sickness during pregnancy, but when she felt the blood in her throat, Alexa panicked a little. She quickly suppressed her panic and looked at herself in the mirror with a guilty conscience. Although there was no change in her appearance, Alexa still noticed the panic in her eyes that had not yet faded. Was she getting worse¡­ Although she had already realized this fact, when it happened, Alexa still found it hard to ept. She hurriedly washed her face, trying to be clear-minded a little. After dealing with it, Alexa found the bottle of medicine hidden in her bag and swallowed one in a hurry. Just then, someone knocked on the door. ¡°Who is it?¡± Alexa¡¯s voice was very hoarse. The person outside obviously paused and then slowed down his voice. ¡°Alexa, are you ready?¡± Hearing Terrence¡¯s voice, Alexa immediately put away her guard. ¡°Alright, I¡¯lle up right away.¡± Alexa changed into a set of loose clothes and put on light makeup in thenick of time. Ten minutester, she opened the door. Terrence was still waiting at the door. When he saw her, his eyes lit up. ¡°We¡¯re just going out to buy groceries. There¡¯s no need for you to dress so normally.¡± Alexabed her hair with her hand and directly met his gaze with a faint smile. ¡°Don¡¯t you like it?¡± ¡°I like it!¡± Terrence replied without thinking. ¡°Of course, I like it.¡± ¡°It¡¯s good that you like it. Let¡¯s go.¡± Alexa naturally held Terrence¡¯s arm. Damarion also wanted to follow them, but Terrence left him at home. ¡°I won¡¯t take you this time.¡± Terrence sped his fingers together with Alexa¡¯s as if he was showing off. ¡°I want to go on a date with my wife.¡± Although it was not strange that such words came out of his mouth, Alexa still blushed. ¡°Why are you saying this in front of a child?¡± She pouted. ¡°This is a necessary education.¡± After saying that, Terrence went out with her. Alexa repressed her sadness so perfectly and talked nicely with him all the way. Just as they passed by Vision Group¡¯s counter, Alexa walked in with interest because she heard that some capable designers were poached from New Designice. Terrence suddenly received a call. Seeing that it was a call from thepany¡¯s manager, Alexa nodded. ¡°Go ahead with your work. I¡¯ll just stroll around.¡± ¡°I¡¯lle over when I call back.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa nodded and continued to look at the new jewelry under the leadership of the saleswoman. Everyone knew her identity, so everyone respected her so much. Alexa walked around and finally took a fancy to a set of ruby jewelry. Just as she was about to pay by card, a few figures suddenly walked over. ¡°When did Vision Group¡¯s service be like this? Can anyone be allowed in?¡± Hearing this sharp and arrogant voice, Alexa slightly tilted her head and indeed saw Giselle standing in front of her. ¡°Oh, I was wondering who it was,¡± Giselle snorted coldly. ¡°So it¡¯s the former president. Why do you still have the face toe to Vision Group¡¯s counter? Don¡¯t you feel ashamed?¡± ¡°Vision Group is one of the many brands under the Duran Group, and I have poured a lot of effort into it. Why can¡¯t Ie?¡± Alexa fought back with a gentle and polite smile. ¡°Your effort?¡± Giselle said these words in a mocking tone. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but I¡¯ve already gotten rid of all your unrated ideas. The current president of Vision Group is me.¡± Unwilling to waste time arguing with her, Alexa looked down and nced at the set of ruby jewelry. Now, she had no interest in buying that anymore. Seeing that she was about to leave, Giselle immediately stood in front of her with her back straight. ¡°But since we¡¯re a family in the future, I¡¯m quite willing to live in peace with you.¡± Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. ¡°A family?¡± Alexa pondered over what Giselle said as if she had heard a joke. ¡°You?¡± Her voice was not loud, but it was a p in Giselle¡¯s face. There was a faint crack in Giselle¡¯s arrogant expression, but she still maintained her posture. ¡°You can take whatever you like directly. Just treat it as a gift from me, your sister-inw.¡± ¡°Thank you, but I don¡¯t need it.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be in a hurry to leave.¡± Giselle proudly lengthened her tone and then walked to Alexa with a provocative expression. ¡°I might as well tell you that the Duran family has decided to give up on you.¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± Alexa narrowed her eyes dangerously. ¡°Do you find it hard to ept? But you¡¯re a traitor,¡± Giselle sneered. Alexa was about to speak when someone suddenly pulled her into his strong arms. The cold fragrance that belonged only to Terrence instantly became clear. ¡°Ms. Niebergall, do you like to take care of other people¡¯s private affairs?¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, I was just reminding her out of good intentions.¡± ¡°In that case, I should indeed send you a gift in return.¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes were cold, and Giselle was frightened by his stare. ¡°What ¡­ gift?¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t you ask the Niebergall Group¡¯s board of directors?¡± As he said that, Giselle¡¯s face turned pale. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, do you want to make things difficult for the Niebergall family because of this woman?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be anxious,¡± Terrence sneered. ¡°You will know the answer soon. She is my girl who you should not provoke.¡± Chapter 338 Chapter 338 Chapter 338 I Don¡¯t Intend to Know Her After that, Terrence did not give her any chance to retort and immediately left the counter with Alexa. Giselle red at Alexa¡¯s back with disgust, gnashing her teeth in hatred. Why hasn¡¯t the bastard in her belly taken her life yet? thought Giselle. Meanwhile, Alexa didn¡¯t care about Giselle. ¡°I¡¯m fine. I just feel that she is very childish and it is a waste of time to argue with this kind of person.¡± Alexa made light of what happened just now. ¡°Well, darling, you don¡¯t have to worry about it.¡± Terrence nodded. ¡°Let me deal with it.¡± ¡°You really ¡­ want to deal with the Niebergall Group?¡± Alexa was very clear about Terrence¡¯s unyielding character. It was because of this that she was a little worried. The Niebergall family had finally developed a rtionship with the Duran family. They must have made a lot of transactions. If Terrence were to go against Irvin, the Duran family would probably take advantage of this opportunity to make a move. However, he wasn¡¯t worried at all. ¡°Worried about me?¡± Terrence smiled. ¡°Or don¡¯t you have confidence in me?¡± ¡°Of course, I¡¯m worried about you. The business world is like a battlefield and danger lurks everywhere,¡± Alexa said very seriously. ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Terrence held her even tighter as if she was imperceptibly transmitting some kind of power. ¡°With you by my side, it¡¯s impossible for me to lose.¡± ¡°But I can¡¯t help you with anything.¡± ¡°You are very useful, my Lady Luck,¡± Terrence said confidently. Hearing him say this, Alexa felt a little relieved. ¡°Your Lady Luck is hungry.¡± Then Terrence immediately ended the topic and led her to the mall. Later, they went back after choosing the ingredients. This time, Terrence still did not let her cook for him. Alexa had to sit at the side and read the recipe for him very seriously. ¡°I got it,¡± he smiled dotingly. ¡°Just wait to see the results.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Alexa nodded when the doorbell suddenly rang. ¡°Is there a guesting?¡± she muttered, then got up and walked to the door. ¡°I¡¯ll go take a look.¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, it¡¯s Mr. Lambert,¡± Brady reported. Before the housekeeper finished the words, Aron immediately leaned in and greeted her with a smile. ¡°Alexa, it¡¯s me.¡± ¡°Mr. Lambert?¡± Alexa was a little surprised. ¡°It¡¯s sote. What can I do for you?¡± Aron entered the house and waved the gift box in his hand. ¡°I¡¯m here to send an invitation.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± ¡°Put it on the coffee table,¡± Terrence suddenly interrupted. Alexa didn¡¯t know when Terrence had already stood at the kitchen door and the apron around his waist had not been taken off. When Aron saw Terrence like this, he was stunned for a while and then burst outughing. Aron wouldn¡¯t have thought that Terrence, who could dominate the business world outside, would personally cook with an apron for his wife when he returned home. Looking at how skilled he was, Aron realized that probably Terrence had done so many times. Aron forcefully resisted the urge to take photos and deliberately asked. ¡°Terrence, what kind of dishes are you cooking tonight? It smells so good.¡± ¡°The dishes you can¡¯t eat,¡± Terrence refused. Come on! Aron¡¯s eyes shed as he stared at Alexa thoughtfully. Without waiting for him to speak, Alexa opened her mouth. ¡°It just so happens to be time for dinner. Mr. Lambert, why don¡¯t you stay for a meal?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not convenient,¡± Terrence interrupted with a darkened face. It was a candlelight dinner for the couple, so how could someone disturb them? But Aron didn¡¯t realize that he was the third wheel. After exchanging pleasantries with Alexa, he sat down at the dining table. Terrence was cooking the soup while the phone in his pocket kept ringing. In front of Alexa, he calmly took out his phone and nced at it. A certain Line group had been in a hot discussion where the topic was ¡°how to be a good man in the kitchen¡±. Seeing that his expression changed, Alexa asked curiously. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°Nothing,¡± Terrence smiled calmly. When his eyes swept over Aron at the table, he darkened his face even more. Aron was still chatting with delight in the group, but a secondter, Terrence directly left the group. Aron was lost for his words. Terrence made a very sumptuous dinner and all the dishes were Alexa¡¯s favorite. Aron turned a blind eye to their lovey-dovey behavior and inadvertently mentioned something. ¡°I have already prepared the party dress you ordered.¡± ¡°OK.¡± Terrence nodded and skipped the topic. When Alexa saw this, she became a little interested. In the past, whenever she was going to attend a banquet, Terrence would tell her in advance and personally apany her to choose a dress. Why did he be so mysterious this time? ¡°Tomorrow night¡¯s banquet?¡± she asked curiously. ¡°Who organized that?¡± ¡°Someone you don¡¯t know,¡± Terrence patiently exined. ¡°It¡¯s the dinner party for the daughter of the Gillund family, Selina, who just returned from abroad.¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Aron continued. ¡°It¡¯s strange that this invitation was specially requested by Ms. Gillund to pass it to Terrence.¡± With a thud, Alexa shed a knife across the te. Realizing that she was in a daze, she immediately shifted her attention to eating. Terrence noticed that Alexa was in a bad mood and gave Aron a ¡°good¡± look. ¡°I¡¯m not familiar with her,¡± Terrence calmly exined to her. ¡°I don¡¯t intend to know her.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. It¡¯s just a normal interaction.¡± Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Alexa nodded generously and stuffed a small tomato into her mouth, feeling that it was not as sweet as before. At the thought of Aron¡¯s words just now, Alexa did not fall asleep the whole night and pondered about the dinner. The next day, the assistant sent the party dress. It was a very exquisite fishtail design, and the lines were very ingenious. It was obvious that it was designed by a master. But the only drawback was that this dress was not her size at all. Alexa¡¯s heart instantly sank. Terrence couldn¡¯t remember her size wrong. The only exnation was that this dress was not prepared for her at all. Seeing that Alexa looked a little unhappy, Yareli stepped forward and asked with concern. However, Alexa shook her head in low spirits and turned to walk into the room. ¡°Yareli, I¡¯m fine. If hees back, tell him that I¡¯m sleeping,¡± Alexa ordered in depression. Yareli looked at the clock on the wall. It was only seven in the evening and it was still early. What¡¯s wrong with Mrs. Ramsey? wondered Yareli. Realizing that something was wrong, Yareli immediately called Terrence. Terrence came back in a hurry. As soon as he entered the house, he went straight to the bedroom, but before he opened the bedroom door, he lightened his footsteps. Under the dim light in the room, Alexa on the bed was lying with her back facing him, which could be seen that she was unhappy. ¡°Are you back?¡± Alexa did not look back and muffled. Chapter 339 Chapter 339 Chapter 339 She Must Die Terrence said, ¡°Yes. It¡¯s me.¡± He sat by Alexa¡¯s bedside as usual. He couldn¡¯t help holding her hand, but she immediately dodged. Terrence was a little flustered and did not know what was going on. ¡°Yareli told me that you went to bed very early today. Are you feeling unwell?¡± ¡°No.¡± Alexa sounded gloomy and even a little annoyed. Terrence was more confused. ¡°So¡­¡± He said gently, ¡°Did someone make you angry?¡± ¡°No.¡± Although Alexa was denying it, she raised her voice. Terrence immediately understood. ¡°My kitten is about to explode.¡± He chuckled. ¡°Who angered you? I¡¯ll go and teach the person a lesson!¡± Hearing this, Alexa could not stand it anymore and sat up.She took the gift box on the bedside table and stuffed it into Terrence¡¯s hand. ¡°See what¡¯s in it.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± said Terrence. He opened it to take a look. Before he could speak, Alexa began toin. ¡°This dress is not my size. It¡¯s not prepared for me. Right?¡± ¡°You are very smart.¡± Terrence smiled calmly and even nodded. ¡°This dress is indeed not prepared for you.¡± Alexa thought, I knew it! Alexa gritted her teeth, and her face darkened. ¡°I think that woman must be very beautiful. Otherwise, Mr. Ramsey won¡¯t be interested in her!¡± When Alexa was angry, her voice was a little cold. And she showed her pride as Terrence¡¯s wedded wife. It gave Terrence an itch. And he was delighted to hear that. He didn¡¯t expect himself to enjoy listening to Alexa¡¯s scolding. ¡°Why aren¡¯t you saying anything?¡± Alexa blinked her eyes. ¡°Are you feeling guilty? Looks like I was right.¡± ¡°I¡¯m thinking about how to deal with an angry kitten,¡± said Terrence. Then he directly held Alexa¡¯s hand. ¡°What beautiful woman?¡± He said word by word slowly, ¡°Who is more beautiful than you? I know no beauty but you.¡± ¡°You know her.¡± Alexa asked, ¡°Do you want me to say her name?¡± Seeing that Alexa was getting angrier, Terrence could only exin. ¡°Edwin asked me to prepare this dress, but Aron misunderstood and sent it to our house.¡± ¡°Edwin?¡± ¡°Fortunately, a new gift was delivered in time. There should be no problem.¡± Alexa was stunned and suddenly realized that she was wrong. Sensing the ridicule in Terrence¡¯s eyes, she felt that she had misunderstood. ¡°I didn¡¯t attend the banquet tonight. Edwin did.¡± ¡°But that invitation¡­¡± ¡°Ms. Gillund asked me to give it to Edwin,¡± Terrence said patiently. ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, you can call her now.¡± ¡°So, Ms. Gillund and Edwin¡­¡± Alexa¡¯s face was full of shock, but she didn¡¯t continue speaking. Seeing her expression, Terrence understood what she meant. He nodded. ¡°When they were studying abroad, they were ssmates. They¡¯ve known each other for a long time.¡± ¡°So, is Edwin her boyfriend now?¡± ¡°Why are you so concerned about them?¡± Terrence smiled and pinched Alexa¡¯s face. ¡°Edwin is very good at keeping secrets. He didn¡¯t even tell me.¡± ¡°Because you always put on a cold face and look very serious.¡± ¡°Do I?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa nodded seriously. ¡°However, you won¡¯t do that in front of me.¡± ¡°Then it doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Terrence finally made things clear. He breathed a sigh of relief. In the silent room, they suddenly heard a rumbling. Alexa looked down at her belly in embarrassment, but Terrence had no intention ofughing at her at all. ¡°Hungry?¡± Terrence asked softly. ¡°Dinner is ready. I¡¯ll bring it up for you.¡± ¡°No need. I¡¯ll go downstairs with you.¡± After saying that, Alexa threw back the quilt and got out of the bed. Although Terrence held her arm, the moment her feet touched the ground, Alexa felt her heart suddenly tighten. It onlysted for a second, but then Alexa felt pains all over her body. Compared to the previous times, this time it was obviously worse. If not for Terrence¡¯s help, Alexa felt that she would directly fall to the ground. However, she tried her best to conceal her pain. Terrence did not notice that something was wrong. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Alexa smiled lightly. After they left, Alexa¡¯s phone, which she had left on the bedside table, suddenly lit up. It was a call from Finley. After a few rings, it was hung up. At this moment, Finley was standing on a balcony in the cold night wind. He locked the phone with a serious expression. No matter how many times Finley called, no one answered the phone. Was she still angry with him? Finley had always been calm, but now he suddenly frowned. Just as he was pondering, he heard footsteps from behind. ¡°Dr. McMin, you seem to be at your leisure.¡± The man¡¯s voice was arrogant and evil. Finley turned around and saw Irvin. He was smiling sinisterly. ¡°Mr. Niebergall, why did youe to the research center? What¡¯s the matter?¡± Finley immediately restrained his emotions and put on a cold face. Irvin nced at the phone Finley was holding and gave a mocking smile. ¡°Seems that I¡¯m lucky today. I finally caught you in the act.¡± Finley said, ¡°I don¡¯t understand what you¡¯re talking about.¡± Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. ¡°You are the one who has been sending messages to Terrence. Right?¡± Irvin remained calm as he stated the facts. ¡°It¡¯s you who let her escape from the medical center that night.¡± Finley did not respond. ¡°Dr. McMin, my sister and I set up a simple trap. But we didn¡¯t expect that you would really jump in.¡± Finley said, ¡°You have no right to ask about the medical center.¡± ¡°Sorry. Mr. Duran hasmanded me to find the traitor in the Duran family.¡± ¡°You?¡± Finley squeezed out this word, his tone cold and aloof. ¡°ording to the investigation, Alexa once studied medicine, and her mentor is you, Finley.¡± The secret that had been sealed for many years was suddenly revealed by an outsider. Finley¡¯s eyes were suddenly filled with a bone-chilling coldness. ¡°How many things have you hidden? We can have a good chatter.¡± Irvin smirked. Hemanded, ¡°Take him away.¡± The bodyguards he brought were all well-trained special forces soldiers. Finley was alone and had no ability to resist. ¡°Irvin, what are you trying to do?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have many good days left.¡± Irvin approached him. ¡°I can tell you. Alexa won¡¯t be able to see your new medicine. She has to die.¡± ¡°Irvin¡­¡± Before Finley finished, he groaned in pain. Irvin punched him in the abdomen with a yful look on his face. ¡°However, you will soon see her.¡± Chapter 340 Chapter 340 Chapter 340 I Can Let You See It Finley said, ¡°Don¡¯t you dare!¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t believe it, I can let you see it.¡± Irvin clicked his tongue lightly. ¡°Will shee back to save you? Her former mentor suddenly goes missing. She should be very worried. Right?¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid your n is going to fail.¡± The corners of Finley¡¯s mouth twitched, and he gave a mocking smile. In fact, Alexa would never think of the past at all. After all, Keyon had erased all her memories of Finley long ago. ¡°Then let¡¯s wait and see.¡± Irvinughed darkly. He silently took out a syringe from his pocket and stabbed the needle into Finley¡¯s neck without any change in expression. After a while, Finley fainted. The scene was quickly cleaned up. No trace was left. When Christina came with people, there was no trace of Finley. ¡°Mrs. Duran, it seems that someone has taken action ahead of us.¡± The assistant had a grave expression. ¡°It¡¯s Irvin,¡± Christina said calmly. ¡°He is literally everywhere.¡± ¡°Should we think of a way to take Dr. McMin back?¡± Christina thought for a moment and finally shook her head. ¡°Do not act rashly.¡± ¡°But Dr. McMin is the person that is most familiar with the data, and Ms. Duran¡­¡± Before the assistant could finish speaking, Christina suddenly red at her. She was shocked and paused. In the end, Christina did not say anything. She pretended that nothing had happened and silently left the scene. Christina hoped that her daughter could return to her side, but she did not want to leave a bad impression on Alexa. Christina lowered her eyes. She nned to use Finley¡¯s matter as an excuse to let Alexa return. And at this moment, Alexa had finished her dinner and returned to her room. Terrence went to the old house to pick up Damarion. Alexa was bored and rested on the bed. When Alexa saw the missed calls on the phone, she was a little surprised. She knew that it was from Finley, so she called back immediately. However, he didn¡¯t answer the call. Alexa thought, is there something urgent? She suddenly had a bad premonition. Alexa didn¡¯t know what to do, so she called Keyon. He picked up the phone very quickly, but the environment was very noisy. The noisy metal music made her eardrums hurt. ¡°Keyon¡­¡± ¡°Alexa, what¡¯s the matter?¡± Keyon¡¯s tone was as usual. His steady voice was ipatible with the surroundings. ¡°Keyon, where are you?¡± Keyon was surprised and slightly deliberated over his words. ¡°I¡¯m outside with a friend. What¡¯s the matter?¡± Alexa hesitated over and over again. Atst, she told Keyon. ¡°I can¡¯t reach Finley. I want to know if you have any ways to find him.¡± ¡°Finley?¡± Keyon paused for a long time. Alexa was very worried. ¡°Is anything wrong?¡± She asked nervously. ¡°Oh. It¡¯s fine.¡± Keyon chuckled. ¡°It¡¯s just that Dr. McMin has been doing research in the medical center recently. Nobody should disturb him.¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± said Alexa. ¡°But since you want to contact him, I can help you figure out a way,¡± Keyon said patiently. ¡°You can come to see me. We will discuss it.¡± Alexa thought for a moment and finally agreed. Keyon gave her an address. It was a bar. She was a little surprised. After all, Keyon had never liked this kind of ce. After changing her clothes, Alexa went out quietly. The bar was very noisy. The deafening music mixed with the dazzling lights. Everyone was indulging in alcohol and music. As for Keyon, he sat alone at the bar counter. He looked a little lonely. When Alexa walked over, he immediately extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand. ¡°Sorry¡­¡± Keyon drank the whiskey in front of him embarrassedly and said, ¡°I quit smoking long ago. But I couldn¡¯t help it today.¡± Alexa looked at the several empty sses in front of Keyon. She felt worried. Alexa had worn a ssic ck wind coat tonight of British style. It covered her belly which was not very bulging yet. Her skin, which had no makeup on, was fair and clean. Her ck hair hung down on the back. One could tell that she was an elegant youngdy from a rich family. It was precisely because Alexa had an outstanding temperament that, since she entered the bar, many men had been looking at her. They were like poisonous insects thaty dormant in the dark. Keyon noticed those evil gazes. He was annoyed and red at the men to warn them. When he turned back to look at Alexa, his gaze instantly softened. ¡°It¡¯s very noisy here. Let¡¯s go to another ce.¡± ¡°Keyon, why are you here alone?¡± Alexa pointed out the problem. ¡°And you drank so much wine. Your health doesn¡¯t allow you to drink.¡± ¡°Um, I know. Tonight is an exception.¡± After saying this, Keyon looked up at her, his gaze a bitplicated. Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. ¡°Alexa, I will return to Ice Floral Ind tomorrow.¡± Alexa muttered for a long time. And finally, she asked, ¡°You can see Dr. McMin then. Right?¡± ¡°Why are you so concerned about him?¡± Keyon mocked himself. ¡°I thought he is too cold to attract girls.¡± ¡°I just feel that Dr. McMin is a little special,¡± Alexa said honestly. ¡°And he has been taking care of my health.¡± ¡°If you want to know his condition, why don¡¯t you go back with me to see him?¡± Hearing that, Alexa fell silent. ¡°Keyon, I won¡¯t go back.¡± He didn¡¯t speak and just rubbed her hair like before. ¡°Alright. I know you very well. I understand.¡± Keyon could onlypromise. Then he called someone to give an order. ¡°There is a private room upstairs.¡± Alexa nodded and went up with Keyon. However, just as they reached the door, a strange man in uniform whispered a few words in Keyon¡¯s ear. Alexa saw that his expression instantly became serious. ¡°They can¡¯t reach Finley.¡± Keyon did not intend to hide it from her. ¡°But he should still be on the ind.¡± The entire Ice Floral Ind is the Duran Family¡¯s territory. Now that Finley went missing on the ind, the cause could only be¡­ ¡°He was imprisoned?¡± Alexa asked bluntly. ¡°I don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on yet.¡± Keyon shook his head. ¡°Even my people can¡¯t get any information now.¡± Her bad premonition had actuallye true. Alexa frowned and suddenly felt like vomiting. ¡°I¡¯ll send you home first.¡± ¡°No. I¡¯m fine.¡± Alexa waved her hand. And she saw someoneing from the other end of the corridor. Terrence rushed to Alexa and pulled her into his arms. ¡°Why did youe to such a messy ce alone?¡± After saying that, Terrence casually looked at the man in front of him. ¡°Oh? Mr. Duran is also here.¡± Terrence¡¯s embrace made Alexa feel secure, but tears suddenly filled her eyes. ¡°Terrence, Finley is missing. What should I do¡­¡± Hearing this, Terrence frowned. ¡°Is he a very important person to you?¡± ¡°He is Alexa¡¯s mentor in medicine,¡± Keyon replied. Chapter 341 Chapter 341 Chapter 341 I¡¯m So Lucky to Meet You Hearing Keyon¡¯s answer, both Alexa and Terrence were very surprised. ¡°Our mother is a great doctor of medicine, so when you were young, our family intended to cultivate you as a doctor,¡± Keyon exined in a t tone. ¡°Finley is our mother¡¯s student. Naturally, he is the most qualified person to teach you.¡± ¡°Why have I never heard about these things before?¡± Alexa looked into Keyon¡¯s eyes, trying to find a trace of a lie. However, in just a moment, she smiled. Because she realized something. ¡°Because you are an excellent psychiatrist. Right?¡± Keyon twitched the corner of his mouth but did not say anything. Alexa was very smart. There were some things that could not be hidden from her. ¡°Yes.¡± Keyon directly admitted it. ¡°After that incident, I erased your memories so that you won¡¯t get hurt again.¡± When he said this, Keyon looked at Terrence. His gaze implied helplessness and anger. Keyon had tried his best to stop Alexa. But in the end, she still chose to stand by Terrence¡¯s side. Almost at the same time, Alexa noticed that Terrence put on a cold face. She smiled and looked at him gently. Then Alexa held Terrence¡¯s hand with their fingers intertwined. ¡°I will always stand by his side.¡± Her voice was not loud, but she sounded firm. ¡°It¡¯s true now, and it will be the same in the future.¡± Keyon¡¯s face sank. It seemed that he was in a bad mood. ¡°I understand,¡± Keyon said in a low voice. ¡°You can go home now. I will let people search for Finley.¡± Alexa pursed her lips and then nodded. ¡°Thank you.¡± It was not until Alexa and Terrence left the bar that the assistant came back to see Keyon. ¡°Mr. Duran, Dr. McMin was taken away by Irvin.¡± Hearing that, Keyon instantly frowned. And his face darkened. It was frighteningly gloomy. ¡°Bastard!¡± Keyon couldn¡¯t bear it any longer and growled, smashing his fist against the wall. The smell of blood quickly permeated the air, but Keyon didn¡¯t seem to feel any pain. He let the blood flow down his fingers. ¡°Don¡¯t tell Alexa.¡± ¡°OK,¡± said the assistant. ¡°I will personally deal with Irvin.¡± Keyon had thought that Irvin was just a profiteer. Unexpectedly, his ambition seemed to berger. More importantly, Irvin wanted to hurt Alexa. Keyon cursed in his heart, what a jerk! At this moment, Alexa got into the car with Terrence. He knew that she felt the cold a lot, so he turned up the heat. But even though her whole body was surrounded by warmth, Alexa still felt cold. ¡°Are you OK?¡± Terrence asked in a deep voice. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Alexa shook her head and wrapped the nket he gave her. ¡°I just need a bit of time to process what he told me. It¡¯s a lot.¡± ¡°Everyone will have secrets from the past.¡± Terrence gently hugged her. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, I will be with you.¡± Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. ¡°Thank you¡­¡± Alexa¡¯s voice was very soft as if it would be blown away by the wind. Suddenly, she felt a warm and gentle touch on her forehead. Terrence kissed Alexa¡¯s hair, then her eyes, ears, lips¡­ And he went all the way down. Terrence didn¡¯t stop until he tasted salty moisture. ¡°Don¡¯t cry.¡± It was dim in the car. Terrence¡¯s voice was husky and fascinating. ¡°I don¡¯t want you to cry.¡± Alexa lowered her head and did not speak. Terrence wiped away her tears with his fingertips patiently. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. I¡¯m here. I will solve it.¡± Every time Alexa encountered a problem, Terrence would say that. That was also why Alexa felt very guilty. ¡°Terrence, I¡¯m useless. Right?¡± Alexa choked. ¡°Those who are rted to me all get into trouble. It¡¯s like they are infected with bad luck, and I can¡¯t protect any of them.¡± ¡°No.¡± Terrence looked at her seriously and said word by word, ¡°It¡¯s my greatest fortune to be able to meet you and love you in this life.¡± Alexa held her head, but she just kept quiet and did not speak. ¡°Alright. Don¡¯t cry. The matter will be settled. I promise.¡± When they got home, Terrence went to the room with Alexa to sleep. It was not untilte at night that he took his phone to the balcony and read the strange message. ¡°I saw you in the bar.¡± It was a short sentence, and the person did not state any intentions. However, Terrence¡¯s gaze was as cold as ice. He was thinking about something. ¡°Name a price.¡± The message was sent, but the person did not respond. A few secondster, Terrence received a call. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, you yed quite well in business. In less than a day, the Niebergall Group¡¯s value was reduced by 50 billion dors,¡± Irvin said slowly. It was like he was talking about a joke. ¡°Name a price. I want you to let Finley go.¡± ¡°I know that Finley is very important to you.¡± Irvin then corrected himself. ¡°No. No. It should be that he is very important to your wife.¡± Hearing this, Terrence faintly gritted his teeth, and the vibe around him became colder. ¡°I am in a good mood now. Why don¡¯t we change the way we y?¡± Terrence asked, ¡°What are your conditions?¡± ¡°I¡¯m quite interested in Alexa. If you give her to me, I¡¯ll make sure that Finley will be fine, and she will be fine as well.¡± ¡°Irvin, you should cherish the opportunity to negotiate with me as a living person.¡± Terrence silently curled the corner of his mouth, revealing a killing intent. ¡°Who do you think you are?¡± ¡°Terrence, I can give you time to think about it.¡± Irvin sneered, ¡°Anyway, I will soon destroy everything you are proud of.¡± Terrence said, ¡°Just try it.¡± The conversation didn¡¯t end well. Everything Irvin said was no different from a deration of war. The grudges between the rich and powerful families never ended, and some people had no bottom line when pursuing profit. Terrence thought about it and finally contacted Edwin to entrust a few things to him. The long night finally ended. And dawn broke. Early the next morning, Alexa packed up something. She thought that Terrence had gone to thepany, but when Alexa entered the living room with her handbag, she saw Terrence sitting on the sofa. ¡°Kaff¡­¡± Alexa panicked. ¡°Do you have any special arrangements today?¡± ¡°No.¡± Terrence stared straight at her and narrowed his eyes. ¡°As for you, you are nning to go out.¡± ¡°Um¡­ Yes.¡± As Alexa spoke, she subconsciously hid her handbag behind her back. Terrence pinched the space between her eyebrows. He did not want to nail Alexa¡¯s lie directly. ¡°Where are you going?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going shopping with ra.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Terrence answered with ease, ¡°But Ms. Powell had gone abroad the day before yesterday.¡± The lie was instantly nailed, and Alexa stood nervously in ce. And she didn¡¯t dare to go out. In the end, Terrence sighed. ¡°Girl, you are really not a good liar.¡± Alexa stammered, ¡°I¡­¡± ¡°You want to go back with Keyon. Right?¡± Terrence said bluntly Chapter 342 Chapter 342 Chapter 342 My Daughter Has Been Corrupted Terrence knew her thoughts very well. Alexa couldn¡¯t hide anything from him. Terrence closed the book in his hands unhurriedly. He got up and walked towards Alexa. She pursed her lips. Alexa said in a low voice, ¡°I know you don¡¯t want me to go, but¡­¡± ¡°But I won¡¯t be able to stop you. Right?¡± Terrence chuckled and did not seem to be angry. ¡°Huh?¡± Alexa was dazed for a moment. ¡°It means that you agree?¡± ¡°But I won¡¯t let you go alone.¡± Terrence took her handbag and sighed. ¡°I will go with you.¡± ¡°No!¡± Alexa declined without hesitation. ¡°Their target is you. If you go with me, you¡¯re walking into their trap.¡± Terrence patiently exined, ¡°Because their target is me, so you will be in danger.¡± He bent down and pinched Alexa¡¯s face. ¡°Do you understand, littlemb?¡± Alexa blushed because of his actions. She mumbled a few words vaguely. She could onlypromise. However, they did not travel with Keyon. Instead, they took the Ramsey family¡¯s private ne. After boarding the ne, Terrence handled thepany¡¯s affairs leisurely, as if it was a very ordinary trip. On the contrary, Alexa was very nervous. She wanted to clear her thoughts through sleep, but her mind was a mess. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°I suddenly remembered that Damar¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Terrence looked up at her. ¡°I have asked my parents to take care of him.¡± ¡°Oh. OK.¡± Alexa nodded. After that, she didn¡¯t disturb Terrence¡¯s work. Alexa looked sideways at the clouds outside the window and forced herself to close her eyes. But the moment Alexa felt sleepy, those painful memories would rush toward her like a tide. It was a great sunny day, but she felt very cold all over. Alexa saw a shadow beside her. She turned around in a sh. It was Terrence standing by her side. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Alexa asked after realizing it and forced out a smile. Terrence said, ¡°I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll feel cold.¡± Then he gently put a nket on her. ¡°Thank you.¡± Alexa held her forehead and wanted to clear her thoughts. ¡°I¡¯m not sleepy. I don¡¯t want to sleep yet.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Terrence sat next to her and pulled Alexa into his arms. ¡°You cane to my arms anytime you want.¡± Alexa smiled and rubbed against his shoulder like a kitten. ¡°I was just worried that they will harm you.¡± The destination of this journey was destined to be unknown. ¡°They won¡¯t.¡± Terrence¡¯s voice was very gentle, revealing a quiet power. Alexa nodded. Naturally, she believed his words. With Terrence by her side, Alexa quickly fell asleep. Terrence picked up his phone and silently looked at the new message he received. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to reallye here. Aren¡¯t you afraid of death?¡± He did not respond and directly deleted the message. Two hourster, the nended at the airport of Ice Floral Ind. Alexa woke up. Her palms were covered in a cold sweat. She calmed down when she sensed the warmth of Terrence¡¯s embrace. ¡°We¡¯ve arrived?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Terrence nodded, and his tone was still light. ¡°My arms are numb due to your weight. I may not be able to hold your handter.¡± Hearing this, Alexa immediately blushed and intended to get up. Terrence held Alexa¡¯s waist and pulled her even closer. ¡°Don¡¯t go away. Get closer to me.¡± ¡°OK¡­¡± Alexa did not refuse. She got out of the ne with Terrence wrapping his arms around her waist. The moment the cabin door opened they saw arge group of bodyguards standing outside. Alexa also saw Christina and Scott in the crowd. This time, Alexa did not have a smile on her face. Seeing their intimate interactions, Scott and Christina did not seem very happy. Then a tall man walked toward them. ¡°Father, Mother.¡± Keyon changed into an ironed ck suit and greeted them solemnly. ¡°I heard that there are important things to discuss in the family, so my sister and¡­ her husband all came back.¡± When he called the word ¡°her husband¡±, Keyon seemed to have used all his strength. However, just as he finished, Scott snorted. His face was rather gloomy. Terrence always had a rxed smile on his face, as if the person in front of him was not a very important character. ¡°We need a room,¡± Alexa said crisply. ¡°And no unrted people are allowed to disturb us.¡± ¡°Alexa, you shoulde back to the manor with us.¡± Christina reminded her with a fake smile. ¡°After all, you didn¡¯t have a wedding in front of the family. It¡¯s not good to stay out.¡± Alexa said, ¡°As I said, I don¡¯t care about the family.¡± ¡°Pay attention to your words in public.¡± Scott reminded her with an angry face. ¡°What are you talking about?¡± Alexa replied, ¡°I don¡¯t like to listen to nonsense.¡± Alexa smiled faintly and grabbed Terrence¡¯s arm. ¡°Since we can¡¯te to an agreement, there is no need to talk about it. Let¡¯s go.¡± Terrence replied, ¡°Yes, Madam.¡± He nodded obediently and even enjoyed the feeling of being protected by Alexa. Terrence had reached his current position step by step, and no one had ever supported him in such a simple and direct way. ¡°Stop.¡± Scott couldn¡¯t take it anymore and said to his assistant. ¡°Take them to the other courtyard.¡± ¡°Yes, Mr. Duran.¡± Hearing this, Keyon winked at the person beside him. Then Keyon¡¯s driver came over. Alexa held Terrence¡¯s arm and got into the car without a word, not even bothering to look at her parents. When the carpletely disappeared, the anger in Scott¡¯s heart instantly exploded. ¡°Not even a word of thanks.¡± He gritted his teeth in disbelief. ¡°My daughter has been corrupted by that brat!¡± ¡°Scott, forget it.¡± Christina tried to persuade him. ¡°Alexa finally came home. This time, we should not scare her away.¡± ¡°She actually brought Terrence here!¡± The more Scott thought about it, the angrier he became. ¡°Is this family so unbearable to her?¡± Christina said, ¡°Anyway, he was the person she personally chose.¡± When she heard Terrence¡¯s name, Christina¡¯s tone became colder. It was clear that they did not have a good impression of their daughter¡¯s husband. ¡°I¡¯ll send someone over to take a look,¡± Keyon said. ¡°No need.¡± Scott turned around with his hands behind his back. ¡°Anyway, they are on the ind. They can¡¯t go anywhere. Keyon, invite Irvin to our home.¡± ¡°OK.¡± At this moment, the driver had taken Alexa and Terrence to the gate of the other courtyard. Alexa got out of the car with ease. She seemed to be very familiar with this ce. ¡°This is where I used to live.¡± Alexa introduced. ¡°It¡¯s very quiet. Let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Tsk. Hi, you two. What a coincidence.¡± They suddenly heard a strange male voice. ¡°Ms. Duran, what a small world.¡± ¡°Irvin?¡± Terrence subconsciously pulled Alexa behind him and stared at the man in front of him with hostility. Chapter 343 Chapter 343 Chapter 343 Don¡¯t Look Back ¡°Great. You still remember me.¡± Irvin smiled very sinisterly and stared at Alexa as if looking at the prey. ¡°I said we would meet again, but I didn¡¯t expect it toe true so soon. It¡¯s really good.¡± He said affectedly and pretended to be affectionate, paying no heed to Terrence aside at all. Alexa felt nauseous and did not intend to waste her time talking with him. Enter title¡­ ¡°Get out of my way.¡± ¡°Oh, so you want to live here too?¡± Irvin said deliberately, ¡°What a coincidence! I didn¡¯t expect to be so close to you.¡± Irvin teased Alexa without restraint until a cold and piercing voice rang out. ¡°Irvin, are you courting death?¡± Terrence looked indifferent, but his eyes were as cold as ice. However, Irvin did not take that to heart. ¡°It was just a joke. Why are you so angry?¡± ¡°Mr. Niebergall.¡± Alexa smiled perfunctorily. ¡°Your joke is not funny.¡± ¡°Really? I think it is quite funny.¡± The atmosphere instantly became cold. Feeling Terrence¡¯s tenseness, Alexa silently suppressed her emotions. ¡°Let¡¯s go inside,¡± she whispered to him. She hated being looked up and down by Irvin, but they were on Ice Floral Ind. Alexa did not want to cause any other trouble. Terrence forcefully suppressed his anger and walked past Irvin with a cold face, holding Alexa¡¯s hand. Yet, shortly after they took two steps, Irvin stopped them. Irvin said mischievously behind them, ¡°Ms. Duran, if you need help, you can call me at any time. Although I am very busy, I am willing to help a beautiful woman like you.¡± ¡°Is this the upbringing of the Niebergall family?¡± Terrence said through gnashed teeth, ¡°Do you like harassing other people¡¯s wives so much?¡± ¡°You said it too early. Who knows whose wife she is?¡± Instantly, the surrounding air seemed to be drained in an instant, and it was suffocating. Alexa sensed that Terrence had released her hand. ¡°Go inside and wait for me.¡± Terrence gently brushed the light hair on her temples. ¡°Don¡¯t look back.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Alexa did not know what was going on. The next second, Terrence turned around and walked toward Irvin. He grabbed Irvin¡¯s cor and punched thetter. The dull sounds of fighting suddenly rang out, and Irvin had bruises on his handsome face at once. Terrence¡¯s clothes were still tidy and neatly elegant. Irvin wiped the blood from the corner of his lips with his finger and slowly stood up, the veins on his forehead bulging. ¡°Alright, you have guts,¡± he whispered sinisterly, ¡°Terrence, you better pray that there won¡¯t be a day when you have to beg me.¡± Terrence did not reply to him, but leisurely took two steps towards him. They were about to make a move again. ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Alexa subconsciously blurted out. Terrence was stunned and did not move anymore. ¡°Go over quickly,¡± Irvin sneered. ¡°Your woman loves you dearly.¡± ¡°Irvin, I have stated my bottom line. As long as you dare to cross the line, I will definitely make you suffer.¡± Terrence¡¯s voice was so cold that it made Alexa feel strange. He seemed to be gloomy all over. ¡°Terrence,¡± Alexa called him in a firm tone again. Only then did Terrence dispel the hostility around him and slowly walk to her. ¡°Be careful!¡± She was shocked and ran over to stand in front of Terrence without any exnation. However, a momentter, Alexa was held tightly in a warm but cold embrace. The pain she imagined did note. However, the person who was holding her let out a subtle groan. She panicked in her heart and hurriedly wanted to confirm his injury, but Terrence refused to let go. A few secondster, a team of guards rushed into the quiet courtyard. The bloody dagger fell to the ground, and Keyon tightly grabbed Irvin¡¯s wrist. His deep eyes were faintly murderous. He slightly turned his head to look at Alexa, who was held in Terrence¡¯s arms, and felt relieved. However, the cloth on Terrence¡¯s shoulder was pierced, and blood quickly seeped outpletely. ¡°Mr. Niebergall.¡± Keyon remained polite against his will. ¡°You hurt people with a weapon. If the head of the Niebergall family knows about this, I¡¯m afraid¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s just a slip of the hand. I didn¡¯t hold it firmly.¡± Irvin withdrew his hand with a gloomy face, not taking this matter to heart. ¡°Don¡¯t bother about such a trifle.¡± ¡°Alright,¡± Keyon replied. ¡°Then I hope you won¡¯t slip your hand anymore. Afterall, this kind of thing can easily injure people.¡± While speaking, Keyon kicked the dagger on the ground out of the door. ¡°The head of the family is still waiting in the main hall. Please go there.¡± Irvin smiled proudly and acted like a noble person. Keyon looked away coldly, and when he looked at Terrence, his expression softened a little. ¡°When I am not here, please take good care of my sister.¡± After he finished speaking, he left with his subordinates. Alexa could not wait to get out of Terrence¡¯s arms and hurriedly wanted to check the injury on his back. ¡°Let me see if the injury is serious.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Content held by N?velDrama.Org. Terrence took her to the room and did not show his back to Alexa. ¡°He is too weak to hurt me.¡± ¡°Irvin, that damn bastard!¡± Alexa swore angrily, ¡°He is so despicable.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be angry.¡± Instead, Terrence patiently said, ¡°He can¡¯t make any waves.¡± Alexa nced at Terrence worriedly and then took him to the door of a room. ¡°Here we are.¡± She took out the key to open the door, and the furnishings inside were still as usual. With a ce to stay, Alexa felt much more at ease. ¡°Wait for me. I¡¯ll go find the medicine box.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa went into the inner room with familiarity, and Terrence looked around the living room alone. The decoration style here was exactly the same as their home in New York. There was a smile in his eyes, but when he saw the photos of Damarion on the wall, Terrence felt guilty. All the evidence reminded him that he was absent from the two most difficult years of Alexa¡¯s life. When Alexa found the medicine box and came out, she didn¡¯t find Terrence in the living room. She immediately searched the room in a fluster and finally found that the bathroom door was ajar. There was the sound of clothes rubbing from inside. Alexa could not care so much. She directly pushed the door open and entered. ¡°I¡­¡± Before she could finish her words, she froze in ce. Terrence¡¯s shirt, which had not yet been taken off, was drooping down to his waist. He turned his back to her and his perfect profile became more charming under the light. Alexa looked along his neck and shoulders and saw the shocking wound on his back Chapter 344 Chapter 344 Chapter 344 You Should Have Long Been in Prison Terrence wanted to put his clothes back on, but it was toote. Alexa walked behind him without any exnation, her eyes glistening with tears. ¡°Don¡¯t cry.¡± Terrence said with some self-me, ¡°Sorry¡­¡± ¡°Does it hurt?¡± Alexa asked softly. She gently stroked the wound and tears flowed out of her eyes. Enter title¡­ ¡°Are you crying?¡± Terrenceughed softly instead and raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Alexa¡¯s face. ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt. It¡¯s just a small injury.¡± ¡°You are not a robot. How can it not hurt?¡± Alexa was so distressed that he wanted to return this knife to Irvin right now. ¡°I¡¯ll help you apply for the medicine.¡± After saying that, she skillfully fiddled with the medicine bottles. ¡°Although I can¡¯t remember the medical knowledge I have learned before, it is not a problem to deal with the wound.¡± Alexa said firmly without a trace of fear in her eyes. In the end, Terrence did not refuse and obediently sat on the sink so that Alexa could be a little closer to him. ¡°If it hurts, just tell me.¡± After saying that, Alexa began to carefully apply medicine to his wound. Terrence had been looking at her with gentle eyes. It was like Alexa wasn¡¯t dealing with Terrence¡¯s wound but having a romantic date. Sensing Terrence¡¯s gaze, Alexa paused slightly. ¡°Did I hurt you?¡± ¡°No.¡± Terrence shook his head and reached out to grab her waist. Alexa was now wearing a close-fitting undershirt. Her graceful body was tightly attached to his body, and her slight belly bump was rubbing against Terrence¡¯s waist once in a while. She almost lost her grip on the medicine bottle in her hand. ¡°Don¡¯t move,¡± she said coquettishly. ¡°OK, Ms. Nightingale.¡± Terrencezily responded and kissed her neck affectionately. ¡°I feel so happy to be loved by you.¡± ¡°Now is not the time to talk about this¡­¡± Alexa rubbed her head against his chest and felt as if the heat from her face turned her on. ¡°I¡¯ll fix your wound first.¡± ¡°OK.¡± Terrence nodded obediently and did not disturb her again. After a few minutes, Alexa wrapped up the bandage. ¡°Be careful to keep your wound from water for the next few days. Change the dressing on time, or the wound might be inmed.¡± After that¡­ she added seriously, ¡°I will supervise you.¡± Terrence smiled and pecked her lips lightly like a child who had just gotten some candy. ¡°I suddenly feel that this wound was quite worth it.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Alexa immediately frowned. ¡°Nonsense!¡± Her tone was very serious, ¡°Are you an idiot, Terrence!¡± ¡°I was wrong. I was wrong,¡± Terrence immediately said. ¡°My dear wife, it was my fault.¡± ¡°In the future, you must protect yourself and don¡¯t get hurt again.¡± Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Okay, I promise you.¡± After handling the wound, Terrence put on another suit topletely cover up the traces of injury. ¡°Do you want to take a rest?¡± Alexa asked. ¡°It¡¯s dangerous on this ind all the time.¡± Just as Terrence finished speaking, someone knocked on the door. He cast a look of understanding at Alexa and got up to open the door. A servant stood at the door. The servant said respectfully, ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Ms. Duran, Mr. Duran wants to meet you at the main hall.¡± ¡°Got it. We will be there soon,¡± Alexa replied. When she went out, she deliberately helped Terrence tten his tie. The servant watched their intimate actions from the side and turned a blind eye to them quietly. By the time she and Terrence arrived at the magnificent main hall, almost all the people who should havee had already arrived. Scott and Christina sat on the main seat with dignified expressions, symbolizing the supreme authority of the family head. Keyon stood next to Scott. Ever since Alexa and Terrence entered the main hall, he had been quietly looking at them. Terrence seemed to be able to move freely, unlike someone who had been injured. Terrence¡¯s performance was good. Keyon narrowed his eyes and no longer paid attention to him. Alexa held Terrence¡¯s arm with a polite and distant smile on her face. ¡°Oh my,¡± she suddenly eximed in surprise. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Terrence immediately asked. ¡°There is a rat here. Didn¡¯t you see them?¡± ¡°A rat?¡± Keyon looked puzzled and immediately called over the servants on both sides. ¡°Where is it?¡± ¡°It¡¯s here.¡± Alexa said innocently, looking at Irvin with a smile. ¡°Mr. Niebergall, did you see it?¡± For a moment, the originally somewhat chaotic atmosphere suddenly became grim. Irvin still had a hypocritical smile on his face, as if not knowing that Alexa was acting against him. ¡°How could there be a rat here? I think you must be mistaken.¡± ¡°Oh yeah?¡± Alexa did not intend to pretend anymore. She directly said to the servant with a cold face, ¡°Bring Mr. Niebergall a mirror. Then, you may be able to see it.¡± Irvin didn¡¯t expect that Alexa would be so direct. His smile froze and blue veins faintly appeared on his forehead. Terrence nced at him calmly, and his powerful momentum instantly shocked Irvin. Hearing Alexa¡¯s response, even Christina, who had always been serious, could not help but smile. Her daughter was impressive indeed. ¡°It seems that I have been disliked by you. Is there a misunderstanding?¡± Irvin tried to get back his dignity. ¡°It¡¯s probably because I have a weird temper after I got pregnant.¡± Alexa nced at him casually. ¡°If you don¡¯t like hearing it, just suck it.¡± Seeing that Irvin¡¯s face got purple, Scott slowly stepped forward to ease the situation. ¡°Alright, Alexa,¡± Scott said, ¡°Mr. Niebergall is our guest. How can you say that?¡± ¡°Oh, yeah?¡± Alexa nodded and sat down with Terrence. Scott silently looked at Terrence several times, but he was not satisfied with thetter regardless. Not a random man deserved to be with Alexa! ¡°Today, I gathered everyone here to discuss the distribution of the Duran Group¡¯s assets.¡± Hearing this, Irvin curled his lips sinisterly with a hint of a determined smile in his eyes. ¡°We only have one son and one daughter. Supposedly, it should be divided equally.¡± Scott paused and faintly nced at Terrence. ¡°But the Duran family has problems with this decision.¡± ¡°Your worries are not unreasonable.¡± Irvin couldn¡¯t wait to target Terrence. ¡°After all, Mr. Ramsey ¡­ has a special identity.¡± ¡°Mr. Niebergall, how special do you think it is?¡± Terrence raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, did you forget what you did back then?¡± Irvin got up and took a portfolio from the assistant. ¡°To fight for power, you didn¡¯t hesitate to kill your nsmen. A person like you should have been in prison a long time ago!¡± Chapter 345 Chapter 345 Chapter 345 Do You Love Me? ¡°What nonsense are you talking about?¡± Alexa was so angry. She mmed the table and stood up. Obviously, she did not believe Irvin. ¡°Ms. Duran, you can prove it if what I said is true.¡± Irvin calmly handed the file to Alexa, looking very confident. ¡°Here¡¯s the truth.¡± Enter title¡­ Alexa stared at the envelope for a long time and couldn¡¯t even lift her hand. There was a slight noise behind her, and then Alexa felt someone holding her shoulders. Terrence held her shoulders, and his tone was still gentle. ¡°Have a seat.¡± Terrence said in a deep voice, ¡°I¡¯ll open it.¡± Irvin put on a mocking smile and wondered how Terrence would clean it up. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, you¡¯re very calm.¡± ¡°Mr. Niebergall, this is a good show you¡¯ve carefully prepared.¡± Terrence retorted. ¡°How can I upset you?¡± ¡°Why did the negotiation eight years ago end up in a bloody manner? Why did the head of the Duran family suddenly get into trouble?¡± Irvin said coldly, ¡°Mr. Ramsey, you must be clearer about the truth of these things than me, right?¡± The moment Irvin finished speaking, it became very tense in the hall. Scott had a murderous look, and his face turned very gloomy. Scott hadn¡¯t known how to handle his father¡¯s death, and he had wanted Terrence to disappear on that rainy night, but Scott never expected that something would happen in the end. Scott¡¯s biological daughter saved his enemy who killed his father¡­ ¡°Impossible!¡± Alexa became a little emotional. ¡°Is your so-called truth justice? If it is true, why don¡¯t you solve it by thew?¡± Hearing this, Irvin smiled disapprovingly. ¡°Ms. Duran, you are so na?ve, and I can¡¯t even believe it.¡± Irvin added, ¡°Or, you¡¯ve already made a judgment, but you don¡¯t dare to admit it.¡± ¡°Irvin!¡± ¡°Enough!¡± Scott couldn¡¯t bear it anymore, interrupted Alexa, and shouted, ¡°Terrence, open it and take a look.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Terrence seemed very calm and was not affected by them at all. ¡°That night, the head of the Duran family was identally injured. It was indeed beyond my expectations.¡± Alexa listened silently, and she felt cold all over gradually. ¡°But how can you prove that I did it?¡± ¡°That night, only your family members were present. Who else could it be other than you?¡± ¡°If you thought I was the killer just because of a failed negotiation, you must have misunderstood me as a fool.¡± Terrence kept a straight face, weighed the envelope, and then threw it on the ground indifferently. ¡°It is as stupid as this so-called truth.¡± The hidden meaning in Terrence¡¯s words seemed to humiliate Scott invisibly. Scott¡¯s face was pale, and he did not speak for a long time. Christina rubbed her forehead in frustration, looking a little tired. She didn¡¯t want to care about these things at all. Christina just wanted to keep her daughter by her side. ¡°That¡¯s nonsense! ¡°Irvin, shut up!¡± Alexa lost her patience. She directly mmed the table and interrupted Irvin. She was so angry, and her lower abdomen ached. ¡°Alexa.¡± Keyon reminded her tactfully. ¡°Don¡¯t get emotional.¡± ¡°I told you I¡¯m not interested in your unclear past.¡± Alexa said decisively, ¡°I only know that he is my love and my child¡¯s father. That¡¯s all.¡± ¡°The Duran family is very dissatisfied that you two are dating. If not for me, do you think you would be standing next to him today?¡± Scott was angry, but he sounded overbearing. However, Alexa did not take these things to heart. ¡°Bullshit family. What does it have to do with me?¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Probably not expecting Alexa to say such dirty words, Scott was dumbfounded. ¡°Mr. Duran, if you want to investigate, I will unconditionally cooperate in this matter.¡± Terrence said firmly, ¡°But if the Duran family just wants to make me leave Alexa by this means, sorry, I can¡¯t do it.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t seem like a good talk today.¡± Scott looked bad. ¡°That¡¯s it. Let¡¯s talk about it next time.¡± Irvin was not surprised. After all, it was not easy to topple Terrence. Christina left the hall with Scott. Alexa took a deep breath and silently held Terrence¡¯s hand. Sensing that her body temperature was very low, Terrence held Alexa¡¯s hand with guilt. ¡°Sorry to have you worried. I will give you an exnation.¡± Alexa breathed lightly and looked exhausted. ¡°Go back first. It¡¯s okay.¡± ¡°Terrence, you are lucky this time. You won¡¯t be so lucky next time,¡± Irvin said fiercely. Alexa red at Irvin, and her face turned a little paler. ¡°You¡­¡± As soon as she spoke, Alexa felt pain in her lower abdomen. Alexa did not even have the strength to finish her words, and she lost consciousness. Finally, she cked out. Later, there seemed to be a lot of noise, and many people were calling her name. But Alexa couldn¡¯t respond. She only felt something hot flowing out of her body continuously. When she woke up again, Alexa couldn¡¯t feel anything all over. Above her was a white ceiling, and there was the sound of various electronic instruments around her. She could not hear the voice of someone in the corner. ¡°Based on her physical condition, it is normal that this child can¡¯t be saved¡­¡± It was Christina¡¯s voice. Alexa had a lump in her throat, bursting into tears. Alexa thought, it turned out that this child was still unable to be saved. Baby, I¡¯m sorry¡­ Alexa felt nauseous and wanted to vomit, but she stubbornly bit her lips, not letting herself make a sound. ¡°Next, I will think of another way.¡± Christina¡¯s tone was very calm as if this was what she had expected. ¡°Okay.¡± Terrence only responded simply, but Alexa could hear that he sounded depressed. After the two finished their conversation, Terrence returned to Alexa¡¯s bed. However, as soon as he turned around, Terrence saw Alexa¡¯s teary eyes. Terrence stopped his footsteps, and he did not even dare to look straight at Alexa. ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡± Terrence tried his best to restrain his emotions and sat down beside Alexa as if nothing had happened. ¡°When did you wake up?¡± ¡°Just now¡­¡± Terrence covered her hand in the quilt, then took out a folded handkerchief, and wiped away the tears on Alexa¡¯s face little by little. ¡°Don¡¯t cry.¡± Terrence had mixed feelings. Even if his words were simple, he seemed to try his best to make it. ¡°We¡­¡± Alexa did not speak, just quietly looking at Terrence as if she wanted to see through him. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Do you love me?¡± Alexa whispered. Her voice was very light, especially in this quiet ward. Chapter 346 Chapter 346 Chapter 346 I Beg You to Take Him Away ¡°Yes.¡± Terrence held her hand tightly, not daring to let go. ¡°But as for this answer, I need to exin it with my entire life, so you have to listen carefully.¡± ¡°I¡¯m listening.¡± Alexa slowly closed her eyes and kept silent for a while. Enter title¡­ ¡°I just felt a little tired recently.¡± ¡°It will get better soon.¡± Terrence leaned over to her and said with expectation, ¡°The winter on Ice Floral Ind will be over soon.¡± ¡°Yes, it¡¯s the same case with our winter.¡± As Alexa spoke, her eyes turned a little red. ¡°Without this child, they probably wouldn¡¯t have allowed it to live for so long.¡± In fact, Alexa knew everything. ¡°Terrence, I really think I¡¯m so pathetic.¡± ¡°Our child wille to this world in love and expectation, but before that, I want you to be well.¡± ¡°Yes, I will try hard.¡± Alexa nodded and felt that she almost broke down. ¡°Have a good rest. I¡¯ll be there for you forever.¡± Terrence tucked her in and got up to close the curtains. Outside the window, it was dark. C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. And Terrence¡¯s face turned very gloomy. There were sedatives in Alexa¡¯s medicine, so she soon fell asleep. Terrence collected his thoughts and calmly pushed open the door. Outside the door stood a person quietly by the wall. He looked lonely. They looked at each other, and neither of them seemed to rx. ¡°Is she awake?¡± Keyon asked simply. ¡°Yes.¡± Terrence distanced himself a little from Keyon. ¡°But she doesn¡¯t want to be disturbed now.¡± Keyon¡¯s face was gloomy, and he clenched his fist. ¡°Terrence, you are really a bastard.¡± Keyon sounded very rational, but his voice was full of unwillingness and hatred. ¡°I have never had Alexa suffer by my side. Howe she met you?¡± ¡°I also think that I am quite a bastard.¡± Terrence put on a self-mocking smile and felt very guilty. Terrence could not protect Alexa because he was not capable enough. ¡°She needs you very much now. I will not me you for now.¡± Keyon said coldly, ¡°But I don¡¯t intend to let Irvin go.¡± ¡°What are you going to do?¡± ¡°Are you asking me? Don¡¯t you have any ns?¡± After that, they exchanged a nce. Although Terrence didn¡¯t say anything, Keyon already understood what Terrence was thinking. Even if Irvin didn¡¯t die, he would have suffered a lot. ¡°You just need to stay with Alexa. I will do this.¡± ¡°I will tell you in advance.¡± Terrence said coldly, ¡°Even if he is Giselle¡¯s brother, I will not let him go.¡± ¡°Up to you.¡± After that, Keyon took a deep look at the ward and finally left without a word. Keyon walked out of the medical department, and all hisckeys gathered around him. ¡°Mr. Duran, we can¡¯t let that scum Irvin go.¡± Karl Loyce said indignantly, ¡°He made Ms. Duran that. Damned it!¡± ¡°He can¡¯t die yet,¡± Keyon coldly said. ¡°We have to teach him a lesson!¡± Someone in the crowd echoed, ¡°We absolutely cannot let him go.¡± They had followed Keyon for many years, and everyone was clear that Alexa was Keyon¡¯s treasure. In their eyes, anyone who bullied Alexa was risking his neck. ¡°I remember you made something new.¡± When Keyon finished speaking, the tall man at the side proudly opened his mouth. ¡°It¡¯s a colorless and odorless anesthetic gas. If one sucks too much in, it will damage the lungs and cause anaphctic shock.¡± ¡°You haven¡¯t tested it yet?¡± Keyon asked casually. ¡°Not yet.¡± ¡°Have a try tonight. Report the result to me tomorrow.¡± Hearing this, everyone looked at each other and smiled. The next morning, Alexa woke up very early. The efficacy of the anesthetic had passed, and her wound was still a little painful, but Alexa did not want to lie on the bed anymore. Alexa slowly tried her best to get up, but she almost lost her bnce when her feet touched the ground. Alexa suddenly trembled. She was scared and eximed in a low voice. She didn¡¯t feel pain. Alexa was slightly absent-minded and got into a warm embrace the next second. ¡°Do you want to take something?¡± Terrence asked gently. ¡°Sorry, I woke you up.¡± Alexa¡¯s face was pale. Terrence saw it and felt greatly hurt. ¡°You didn¡¯t wake me up.¡± Terrence gently carried Alexa back to the bed. ¡°Are you hungry? I¡¯ll get someone to bring breakfast over.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to eat what they made.¡± Alexa was very picky. ¡°I want to eat the congee you made.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go to the kitchen now. You lie down first. I¡¯ll be back soon.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll wait for you.¡± Alexa watched him leave the ward, and then she called Edwin. Edwin did not expect to receive a call from Alexa. He was very surprised. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey?¡± ¡°Edwin, I hope you can do me a favor.¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, please go ahead.¡± ¡°The situation of Ice Floral Ind will be veryplex. I hope you can gather reliable people and take Terrence away.¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± Edwin hesitated, not daring to agree with Alexa. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, what happened?¡± It seemed that the news of her miscarriage had not spread out yet, and even Edwin did not know about it. Alexa narrowed her eyes slightly, but she remained calm. ¡°I hope he can be safe. Moreover, I don¡¯t want him to know about this.¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, I¡¯m very sorry.¡± Edwin said apologetically, ¡°Without Mr. Ramsey¡¯s order, I can¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°Edwin, I didn¡¯t ask you to help me with anything.¡± Alexa said earnestly, ¡°This is the only thing I want you to do. I hope you can agree. I won¡¯t harm him.¡± After a short silence¡­ Edwin replied seriously, ¡°Okay.¡± After hanging up the phone, Alexa immediately deleted the call sheet, hiding what had just happened. At that moment, the doctor entered the room. The moment he pushed the door open, Alexa heard the noise outside. ¡°Who is outside?¡± ¡°Ms. Duran, it¡¯s Ms. Niebergall.¡± The doctor said calmly, ¡°I heard that Mr. Niebergall suddenly fell ill.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Alexa sneered. ¡°He suddenly fell ill?¡± ¡°Yes¡­¡± ¡°He¡¯s not dead yet?¡± Alexa changed the topic, which frightened the nurse. ¡°Not yet.¡± ¡°OK,¡± Alexa replied indifferently. It seemed that she was not very interested in this matter. After the nurse changed the dressing, she hurriedly left the ward. on the bed, waiting for Terr She felt bored. At this time, an uninvited person suddenly came into the room. ¡°So you¡¯re hiding here?¡± Chapter 347 Chapter 347 Chapter 347 I¡¯ve Never Trusted You Giselle entered the room arrogantly without any hesitation.She deliberately straightened her back, and Alexa immediately found that Giselle did it on purpose. ¡°I heard that you lost your child?¡± Giselle asked. She looked very arrogant. Alexa knew that Giselle wanted to make her angry and break down, so Enter title¡­ Alexa remained calm and pretended not to hear her. But Giselle was clearly mocking her, and Alexa still felt hurt. ¡°It¡¯s none of your business.¡± ¡°Howe?¡± Giselle smiled as if she had gotten her revenge. ¡°Your child is gone, but my child is still there.¡± Giselle gritted her teeth, and she was as vicious as Irvin. ¡°Alexa, this is retribution.¡± Giselle did not notice that when she said this, Alexa clenched her fist under the quilt. Though she felt pain in her palm, Alexa felt more tortured in her mind. ¡°Get out!¡± Alexa had a sullen face, and her tone was cold. But she was too weak, so Alexa didn¡¯t look overbearing. They all said that this was her home, but anyone could bully her there. ¡°Alexa, the doctor said that I¡¯ll have a boy.¡± Giselle hurt Alexa again. ¡°Do you know what this means? It means that I can marry Keyon and then naturally get your right of inheritance.¡± ¡°I told you to get out of here. Don¡¯t you understand?¡± Alexa¡¯s voice was much lower. At that moment, the sky had be overcast. Just as Alexa finished speaking, there was a thunderous sound. The curtains were drawn, and the light made the room dazzling. Alexa pulled off the needle in her hand and slowly walked to Giselle. ¡°Do you think I don¡¯t know what you are thinking?¡± Alexa sounded very cold. Giselle, who had been so arrogant just now, suddenly felt frightened. But Alexa was weak. What could Alexa do to her? Thinking of this, Giselle rolled her eyes at Alexa and curled her lips in disdain. ¡°You know? So what?¡± ¡°It¡¯s just because I don¡¯t want to put in so much effort to deal with you for now, but it doesn¡¯t mean that you can get whatever you want and escape unscathed.¡± ¡°You are about to die, and you still want to threaten me?¡± At that moment, it began to pour outside the window. Alexa tilted her head and stared outside for a moment. Then, she put on a faint smile.It looked very horrifying. ¡°Am I going to die?¡± Alexa said to herself lightly. Giselle¡¯s breathing became heavy, and it was very tense in the room. She only wanted to escape now. But only the two of them were in the ward. Alexa was close to Giselle and looked domineering. ¡°Well, I can¡¯t let go of you who murdered my child.¡± Alexa narrowed her eyes and seemed to hold them ountable. ¡°Giselle, your child is still alive. That¡¯s great.¡± Alexa looked down, and her eyes fell on Giselle¡¯s belly. Alexa raised her hand and pressed her fingertips on Giselle¡¯s abdomen. Giselle was so scared. She panicked and stepped back.She said with a trembling voice, ¡°You¡­ Don¡¯t come over¡­¡± ¡°I seem to be a little jealous of you now.¡± Alexa tilted her head innocently. ¡°What should I do?¡± When she met Alexa¡¯s gaze, Giselle was instantly frightened and cried out hopelessly. ¡°Alexa, what are you trying to do?¡± ¡°Me? I don¡¯t know either.¡± Alexa was a little absent-minded, and her left shoulder was pushed by someone. She staggered back and lost her bnce. Her lower back hit the corner of the table, and it hurt her wound. Alexa was in so much pain, that she broke out in a cold sweat. However, only this kind of pain could sober Alexa up a little and remind her that she was still alive. ¡°Alexa, why don¡¯t you go to hell? Why are you still alive?¡± Giselle cursed at Alexa. She madly picked up a vase at the side and smashed it at Alexa. Alexa was a little hesitant when she dodged, but fortunately, Giselle missed. The vase shattered not far away from Alexa, and the fragments sshed onto Alexa¡¯s ankle, making it bloody instantly. Giselle calmed down a little and suddenly found a mobile phone on the shelf next to Alexa. Moreover ¡­ someone was on a call. ¡°Who are you calling?¡± Giselle asked sternly, ¡°Alexa, who did you call?¡± ¡°Hush.¡± Alexa calmly pressed her finger against her lips. She was very dissatisfied with Giselle¡¯s noise. ¡°Don¡¯t be noisy.¡± After that, Alexa slowly moved to the door and opened the door when Giselle was frightened. At the door stood a tall person. After seeing what happened in the room, the man became very serious. Giselle sat on the ground with a pale face. Her face was filled with tears. ¡°Keyon¡­ You¡­ When did youe¡­¡± Keyon nced at Giselle with a long face. He said with gritted teeth, ¡°When you entered the room¡­¡± It meant that Keyon heard the conversation between Giselle and Alexa¡­ Alexa stood by and cracked a smile at Keyon. ¡°Keyon, do you want toe in and sit?¡± After that, Alexa did not even forget to hang up the phone. The room instantly fell into silence. Giselle bit her lips, not daring to cry in front of Keyon. ¡°Giselle.¡± Keyon¡¯s tone was extremely cold, and he was pissed off. ¡°Get out!¡± ¡°Keyon, listen to me¡­¡± ¡°Do you want Irvin to take you back, or do you want me to ask someone to drive you out? It¡¯s up to you.¡± ¡°I¡¯m still pregnant with your child.¡± Giselle desperately shook her head. ¡°How can you be so heartless? I love you so much¡­¡± ¡°My child?¡± Keyon sneered and didn¡¯t even look at Giselle. ¡°Giselle, can you prove it now? Do you dare?¡± Hearing this, Giselle was stunned. She wasn¡¯t as arrogant as just now. ¡°You want me to prove it?¡± Giselle forced a bitter smile. ¡°Keyon, do you not trust me? Do you think I need to use this child to threaten you?¡± ¡°Of course, I don¡¯t trust you.¡± Keyon was very ruthless. ¡°I¡¯ve never trusted you.¡± Giselle broke down. Her face turned gloomy, and she wanted to rush toward Alexa again. Keyon quickly picked up Alexa and turned sideways to protect her. Giselle didn¡¯t even have the chance to touch Alexa before she was taken away by Keyon¡¯s bodyguard. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. The drama suddenly ended, and Keyon looked at Alexa with guilt. Unexpectedly, Alexa grabbed Keyon¡¯s cor and cried out loud. Chapter 348 Chapter 348 Chapter 348 The Purpose Is to Kill Him ¡°Alexa, Alexa!¡± Keyon panicked and rushed out of the ward with her in his arms. ¡°Go find the doctor!¡± he ordered his men resolutely. Alexa¡¯s lower back and wound hurt¡­ She cried in Keyon¡¯s arms and trembled in great pain. She said in a choked voice, ¡°Keyon, it hurts. It really hurts¡­¡± Enter title¡­ ¡°I¡¯m with you. I¡¯ll stay by your side! Don¡¯t be afraid, Alexa. The doctor wille soon,¡± Keyon said anxiously and ran fast. As soon as he said that, another man rushed over and stopped him. Terrence reached out to take Alexa away. Keyon suddenly felt nothing in his arms and forgot to put his hands down. ¡°Alexa, I¡¯m here.¡± Terrence said in a calm voice and quickened his pace to take her to the operating room. ¡°Terrence, you are here¡­¡± Alexa was too weak to speak. She reached out unconsciously, wanting to put her arms around his neck as she usually did. But she failed in the end. Just as Terrence ced her on the emergency bed, Christina arrived with her assistants. ¡°There is a sign of heavy bleeding. We need immediate surgery. Leave her to us.¡± As Alexa¡¯s mother, Christina was very worried. But at the critical moment, she must calm down. Many years ago, a patient¡¯s surgery failed because of her mistake. Over the past few years, she had been trying to use the scalpel again, but still failed to ovee her mental problem. But now the person lying in the operating room was her daughter Alexa. Christina calmly walked into the sterilizing room and prepared for the surgery in an orderly way. This time, she didn¡¯t trust anyone else except herself. The door of the operating room was slowly closed, leaving Terrence alone outside. Terrence watched as the anxious medical staff disappeared behind the door. He fell silent and stood alone against the wall. Keyon walked over and suddenly wanted to smoke. ¡°Where is Irvin?¡± Terrence asked in a cold voice. Keyon answered indifferently, ¡°In the sick room. They used a high dosage, so I think he should be unconscious for a few days.¡± Terrence and Irvin suddenly reached a consensus at the same time. Although it might be disgraceful to do anything to Irvin when he was unconscious, Terrence did not care for the sake of Alexa. ¡°Do you know the whereabouts of Finley?¡± ¡°Just a little bit.¡± Keyon kicked the chair in frustration. ¡°The family head deliberately covered up the news. It seems that he doesn¡¯t want to let Finley go.¡±. Keyon was confused about it. He didn¡¯t know why his father trusted an outsider like Irvin so much. Scott didn¡¯t even care about Alexa¡¯s life. The affairs of the Duran family were tooplicated, and Terrence did not intend to get involved. He turned around and stared at the indicator light in the operating room, feeling extremely upset. ¡°I¡¯ll go out and have a cigarette.¡± Keyon said in a deep voice and turned to leave. When he passed by Irvin¡¯s ward, he happened to meet the nurses who came to change Irvin¡¯s dressing. ¡°How is he today?¡± ¡°Mr. Duran, the drug in Mr. Niebergall¡¯s body has not beenpletely metabolized. He will probably wake up in two days.¡± Keyon thought, two days? He was expressionless and left the inpatient building without a word. Alexa suffered so much for Irvin¡¯s sake, but he just needed to be in aa for two days. Keyon thought it was unfair. He then made a phone call and directly ordered. ¡°Increase the dosage and let him stay in bed for a month.¡± Just as he hung up, he saw Scott walking toward him. Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. He put out the cigarette in his hand and respectfully called to Scott, ¡°Father.¡± ¡°I heard that you n to send Giselle back?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Keyon said indifferently. ¡°She made a mistake, and I can¡¯t forgive her.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal. You got married for the two families. Just turn a blind eye to it.¡± ¡°My sister is still lying in the operating room.¡± Keyon raised his voice, his face stamped with hostility. ¡°I don¡¯t even know if she can survive!¡± When saying these words, he felt brokenhearted. ¡°I know that. Your mother will save her. She¡¯ll be okay. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Scott remained very calm. ¡°Father, you know the whereabouts of Finley.¡± Keyon asked directly, ¡°Why can¡¯t you hand him over to me?¡± Speaking of this, Scott showed an ambiguous attitude. ¡°He is just an ordinary doctor. There are many more outstanding people than him. You can find someone else to rece him.¡± Scott¡¯s face darkened a little. ¡°Do you hate Finley?¡± Scott felt more dissatisfied when hearing this sharp question. ¡°Alright, that¡¯s enough. I don¡¯t want to mention the Finley thing anymore.¡± After Scott left, Keyon clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white. Suddenly, he received a call. ¡°Mr. Duran, we found Finley!¡± Keyon immediately rushed to the old attic on the west side with no hesitation. At the door of the dark basement, the iron chains as thick as wrists were forcibly cut. A musty smell permeated the air, and the cracking of insects was heard when Keyon and his men stepped on them. The ancestors of the Duran family used the ce to imprison the traitors to the family. The ce had been closed for over a hundred years. The group of people walked to the inner room and saw the figure curling up on the ground. Finley had passed out without eating and drinking for three whole days as if he had no vital signs. He was bound by many chains, with wounds covering his body, some of which even started to be inmed. ¡°He was whipped,¡± a follower said. Keyon felt Finley¡¯s pulse and was relieved. ¡°He¡¯s not dead yet. Take him out,¡± he ordered calmly. ¡°It might be inappropriate for you to do that, Mr. Duran?¡± An eerie male voice sounded. Keyon looked back and instantly recognized the man in front of him. He was Owen Jefferson, who worked for Jovan. The elite mercenaries Owen brought filled the narrow aisle, not giving Keyon and his men any chance of escaping. Keyon thought, it seems we fell into a trap! Owen took a few steps forward. ¡°The man is now under our control. No one is allowed to take him away. Mr. Duran, you should think carefully whether you want to be enemies with Mr. Clough.¡± Keyon thought, this is the Duran¡¯s ce. How dare Jovan do that? ¡°I had wanted to let you go, but you¡¯ve found out that Finley is here.¡± Owen pretended to be in a difficult situation. ¡°I¡¯m afraid you can¡¯t leave here easily.¡± ¡°I must take him away.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Owen casually nced at Keyon and made eye contact with the person beside him. ¡°Do it.¡± With the order, a chaotic fight broke out. Keyon was the best among the elite, so he knocked Owen¡¯s men out easily. But Owen suddenly took out a dagger and evilly approached Finley. He raised his hand to kill Finley, and the dull stabbing sound made by the dagger was heard. Owen frowned and looked at the person in front of him in shock. Chapter 349 Chapter 349 Chapter 349 My Beloved Daughter Keyon stood in front of Finley and suffered the cutting for him. Blood flowed out from the wound and quickly soaked his shirt. ¡°So you asked for it. I¡¯ll be ruthless.¡± Owen said through gritted teeth and stabbed the knife deeper. Keyon couldn¡¯t help but let out a groan. His face became paler. Seeing Owen¡¯s men gradually gain the upper hand, Keyon looked more ferocious. He tried to counterattack. But he ran out of strength. In the end, he fell to his knees. ¡°Clean them all up,¡± Owen said with a gloomy face. The thunder and rain outside became more and more chaotic. At the same time, there came a burst of hurried footsteps. ¡°Someone ising. Retreat!¡± After that, Owen left Keyon and the others, disappearing at the end of the corridor. ¡°Mr. Duran, are you alright?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine. Don¡¯t worry. Take him out.¡± Keyon looked at Finley. ¡°Mr. Duran!¡± Hearing this, Keyon raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him. Edwin stood in front of him with many bodyguards and politely nodded at him. With a sharp metallic sound, the people behind Keyon instantly became alert against Edwin and the others. ¡°Put away your weapons. They are not here to fight,¡± Keyon said. ¡°Mr. Ramsey was worried that you would be in danger, so he sent me over to check.¡± ¡°So, you followed us,¡± Keyon sneered. Edwin¡¯s expression did not change as he meticulously went forward to bandage Keyon. ¡°We can¡¯t stay here for too long. It¡¯s better to leave this ce as soon as possible.¡± Edwin looked at his subordinates, and the ck-clothed bodyguards immediately went forward to carry the wounded and quickly left. ¡°What did you find out?¡± Keyon suddenly asked. ¡°There is indeed some progress, but I need to first write a report and hand it over to Mr. Ramsey.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Keyon nodded and agreed. Although he and Terrence sometimes hated each other, Keyon still trusted Edwin. ¡°We can¡¯t go to the medical center now.¡± Keyon said vigntly and asked the driver to drive to his private vi. As soon as Finley was settled down, the medical center sent news that Alexa¡¯s operation was over. Keyon treated his wound casually and rushed to the medical center instantly. Alexa was in stable condition, so Christina had someone send her back to the intensive care unit. Seeing Terrence still standing in the corridor, Christina reproached. ¡°What are you standing there for? Go and be with Alexa.¡± Terrence looked at Christina quietly for a while before bowing respectfully to her. ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to thank me.¡± Christina sat down on a chair in the corridor and wiped the sweat off her forehead with a handkerchief. At this time, she was not a serious doctor, but a kind mother. ¡°She is not only your treasure but also my beloved daughter,¡± Christina said. She thought, even though I am not a good mother. There was a bit of loneliness in her eyes. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Alright, you can stay with her. I still have things to do.¡± Then, although Christina was exhausted, she still hurriedly went to theboratory. Terrence returned to the ward and stayed by Alexa¡¯s bed. Alexa seemed to have fallen asleep and was lying quietly. There were many instruments constantly monitoring her vital signs. Those regr ticking sounds made Terrence feel at ease for no reason. The door of the ward was suddenly opened. Terrence frowned and saw Keyon. As soon as Keyon entered the room, there was a faint smell of blood in the air. Terrence¡¯s eyes darkened. A touch of disdain silently shed through his eyes. ¡°Jovan made his move. His target is Finley,¡± Keyon whispered. ¡°Finley is hard to deal with.¡± Terrence gave a concise evaluation. Initially, he thought that Finley had ulterior motives for approaching Alexa. Now, things were getting more and more interesting. ¡°Finley¡¯s mother died ofbor. As for his father¡­¡± Terrence sneered and said slowly. ¡°I think you might as well go ask Mr. Duran.¡± Keyon¡¯s pupils suddenly shrank. He instantly thought of some of the truth. But Terrence did not say anything more. He looked back indifferently, and his gaze fixed on Alexa¡¯s thin face again. ¡°I only want her to be safe and sound. I don¡¯t intend to participate in the internal affairs of the Duran family.¡± Keyon said nothing and quietly left the ward. He was going to ask Scott what had happened. However, not long after Keyon left, the door of the ward was knocked again. A sense of vignce instantly rose in Terrence¡¯s heart. The moment he opened the door, he became hostile. Jovan stood at the door in a suit, holding a bunch of fresh sunflowers in his arms. He casually adjusted his cor, just like a gentleman. Terrence gritted his teeth and immediately moved out through the crack in the door. Then, he quickly closed the door. Jovan did not seem to mind, still wearing a proper smile on his face. ¡°Terrence, it¡¯s been a long time.¡± Jovan greeted Terrence, a sharp light shing across his eyes. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Terrence¡¯s voice was terrifyingly cold. ¡°I heard that Ms. Duran is ill. Her father and I have been good friends for many years, so I came to see her.¡± ¡°She doesn¡¯t need anyone to visit her.¡± Knowing what Terrence was thinking about, Jovan asked, ¡°Are you afraid? What can I do to a patient?¡± ¡°You dare not do anything.¡± Terrence retorted directly. ¡°Is that so?¡± Jovanughed sinisterly. He knew how to provoke and irritate Terrence. ¡°Killing her now is easier than killing an ant.¡± ¡°Bang!¡± Unexpectedly, Terrence punched Jovan. The flowers in his hand fell to the ground and were kicked away by Terrence. ¡°Are you risking your neck?¡± Terrence spoke one word at a time. There were mes of fury in his eyes. Anything bad for Alexa could easily ignite his anger. Although Jovan had learned self-defense skills, Terrence was good at fighting. He punched Jovan with all his strength. Jovan gathered hisposure, but Terrence grabbed him by the cor and lifted him, throwing another punch. ¡°I warned you before. You don¡¯t understand, do you?¡± ¡°Terrence, only children use their fists to solve the problem.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Terrence nodded lightly, and his sneer became somewhat ruthless. ¡°Then I might as well kill you?¡± Chapter 350 Chapter 350 Chapter 350 Regrets They made amotion in the corridor. The nurse was stunned and ran to ask for help. Jovan¡¯s bodyguards rushed over, but Terrence¡¯s men also came to help Terrence. The two groups of people were tangled together, and neither had the upper hand. Terrence¡¯s every punchnded on Jovan¡¯s abdomen. Soon, Jovan was beaten to the brink of death. He lay on the ground and spat out blood. ¡°Terrence¡­¡± Jovan¡¯s voice was hoarse. He couldn¡¯t even finish his words. As for Terrence, he seemed to havepletely lost his mind. He did not care about Jovan¡¯s condition, and his attacks became more ruthless each time. Terrence hated it when people threatened him with Alexa. However, Jovan dared to do it again and again, so he had to pay the price. When Christina knew about their fight and came over, Terrence still held onto Jovan and refused to let go. She immediately rushed up and forcefully pulled Terrence away. ¡°Alright!¡± Christina said sternly. ¡°Look what you have done! This is a hospital. You need to be quiet.¡± Terrence calmed down a little, but he still red at Jovan with hostility and fury. If not for Christina¡¯s persuasion, he would probably attack Jovan again. Christina nced coldly at Jovan on the ground and casually ordered someone to carry him away. ¡°You are so¡­¡± Christina frowned, her words choked, ¡°So impulsive.¡± ¡°He deserves it,¡± Terrence said coldly. ¡°Alright.¡± Christina interrupted him and looked down at Terrence¡¯s hand. Jovan did not have the upper hand, but Terrence was not unharmed. After the conflict just now, the back of Terrence¡¯s hands was bleeding. ¡°Troublemakers.¡± Christina sighed and took Terrence to the treatment room. As soon as she bandaged him, the nurse rushed over and said. ¡°Mrs. Duran, Mr. Ramsey, Ms. Duran woke up!¡± Before Christina could speak, Terrence could not wait to get up and disappear in the blink of an eye. In the ward, Alexa slowly opened her eyes and vaguely saw Terrence. Terrence could not wait to hold her hand gently. Alexa still felt the pain in the wound, but she immediately noticed the bandage on Terrence¡¯s hands. ¡°What happened to your hands?¡± Alexa asked in a hoarse voice. Terrence¡¯s expression did not change. He showed no trace of panic. ¡°They just get identally cut. It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Alexa frowned and wanted to say something. However, Christina entered the room. Alexa immediately stopped talking. ¡°You woke up earlier than I thought.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa responded softly and had nothing to talk about with her. Christina asked some questions as usual and then left the ward after giving Terrence a few words of advice. ¡°Does it still hurt?¡± Terrence¡¯s heart tightened. ¡°Of course, it hurts.¡± Alexa said half-jokingly and raised her hand in front of him stubbornly. Alexa¡¯s hand was originally fair and tender. But because of the infusion, her palm was swollen, and the back of her hand was blue. Terrence knew that Alexa disliked pain very much. But at this time, she managed to smile lightly. ¡°If you blow on it for me, it won¡¯t hurt.¡±Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. Terrence held her hand as if he was holding the most precious treasure in the world. He rubbed his face against Alexa¡¯s palm and then kissed her entire palm little by little. ¡°You will get better, Alexa.¡± Terrence forced out a smile. ¡°We have already thought of a way, which has a high chance to seed.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa nodded, her eyes as clear as stars. ¡°I believe in you.¡± ¡°When you have recovered, we will meet Damarion.¡± Terrence leaned against her bed and whispered, saying whatever he thought. ¡°We haven¡¯t gone back for such a long time. He must miss us very much.¡± ¡°Are dad and mom okay?¡± ¡°They are all good.¡± Terrence nodded. ¡°Everything is good.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Alexa felt a lot more at ease and slowly closed her eyes. Terrence was scared and even panicked, but he did not show it on his face. ¡°Alexa, are you tired?¡± ¡°Yes, a little.¡± Alexa endured the dizzy spells and forced herself to focus. ¡°I want to sleep for a while.¡± ¡°Okay, I will stay by your side.¡± Alexa felt that tears were about to burst out from her eyes. She closed her eyes, but she did not completely cover up the wet eyshes. ¡°It¡¯s a pity,¡± Alexa sighed heavily and said regretfully. ¡°I¡¯m afraid the oatmeal you made just now is cold.¡± ¡°No. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Terrence leaned over to kiss Alexa¡¯s tears and said softly. ¡°It will always be hot for you.¡± Alexa nodded. Her throat was in great pain. The operation was undoubtedly a huge test for her body. Although her whole body could not bear the pain, Alexa was too tired to open her eyes. She thought it might signify the loss of life in her body. Alexa was afraid that she would never wake up again once she fell asleep.She still had many things to tell Terrence. Terrence stayed by Alexa¡¯s bedside and did not intend to leave. However, Alexa suddenly grabbed his sleeve weakly. She tried her best to hold back the blood in her throat. ¡°Terrence, I want to listen to a song¡­¡± ¡°Listen to a song?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa¡¯s voice was very light as if she was requesting Terrence. ¡°The song your mother sang for you.¡± Terrence was stunned. He didn¡¯t say anything for a while. He had almost forgotten about those nursery rhymes, but Alexa looked at him expectantly. The memories that had been sealed in Terrence¡¯s heart woke up. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll sing it for you. ¡°Edelweiss, edelweiss, every morning you greet me. Small and white. Clean and bright. You look happy to meet me¡­¡± Terrence¡¯s singing seemed to have magic. Alexa was smiling, but her eyes were gradually blurred by the tears. ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°Alexa¡­¡± ¡°My mother has never sung such a song for me.¡± ¡°I¡¯m here with you. I¡¯ll sing it for you every time you want to listen to it.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± The sedative in the drip finally worked. Alexa closed her eyes to rest for a while and then fell asleep. There was a sounding from the door. Terrence stood up and followed unhurriedly. Christina stood by the door with her back to him and quickly wiped away her tears. ¡°She slept?¡± ¡°Yes, she slept.¡± Terrence handed her a handkerchief, but Christina did not take it. She did not even turn around and face Terrence. ¡°I will do my best topensate. I owe her,¡± Christina said in a deep voice. ¡°But she does not hate you.¡± Just as Terrence finished speaking, Christina powerlessly sat down on the chair at the side, her sobs gradually getting louder. Christina was on the verge of copse. ¡°I don¡¯t know what I should do!¡± Christina cried helplessly, which was different from her usual look. ¡°My daughter left me for ten years. I had a hard time looking for her, but I had to cut her chest with a scalpel¡­¡± Chapter 351 Chapter 351 Chapter 351 Just an Illegitimate Child ¡°Thank you.¡± Terrence nodded, his words full of respect for Christina. When they were almost at a dead end, Christina gave them a glimmer of hope. Terrence could not forget such kindness. After a short sob, Christina gradually sorted out her emotions. ¡°Sorry, I lost myposure.¡± She wiped her tears clean. Christina always paid attention to herposure. In front of others, she always had a cold expression. She got up and walked to the end of the corridor. When she reached the garden, she took out a cigarette from her bag. ¡°Do you have a lighter?¡± Christina asked calmly. ¡°No.¡± Terrence¡¯s voice was cold. ¡°I don¡¯t smoke.¡± ¡°Oh, forget it.¡± Christina casually said it and threw the cigarette into the trash can. ¡°More than twenty years ago, I gave up my profession as a doctor,¡± she spoke slowly as if she was telling a story, ¡°When I was giving emergency treatment to a bleeding pregnant woman, I made a mistake. She died on the operating table.¡± ¡°Doctors are humans, not deities.¡± ¡°If I did not manage to save Alexa this time, would you me me?¡± Christina looked at Terrence and wore a bitter smile. ¡°You will, right?¡± Before Terrence¡¯s reply, she continued. ¡°Although I saved the baby, the family of the pregnant woman wants to kill me. ¡°I bear this ¡®sin¡¯ for twenty years. When I dreamed, I would always remember that woman¡¯s eyes of unwillingness¡­¡± In the end, Christina¡¯s voice lowered. ¡°But a few days ago, that child returned.¡± Before she could finish speaking, Terrence had guessed who that person was. ¡°It was Irvin, right?¡± As a result, all the dots were connected. ¡°He is Scott¡¯s illegitimate son.¡± Terrence¡¯s tone showed absolute affirmation. Christina raised her head to look at the distant sky. Suddenly, her eyes stung. ¡°That woman is Jovan¡¯s younger sister. Scott even personally sent the child to the Niebergall¡¯s ce.¡± She did not want to mention the past, but now, she still went against her heart. ¡°Scott felt guilty towards Irvin and Jovan. He practically epted all of their sins. ¡°Themercial negotiation you participated in was indeed a trap. ¡°A life, whenpared with the battle for power and profit between wealthy families, is nothing.¡± Christina had a mocking expression. People all thought that she did not care about everything that was happening, but she didn¡¯t miss any of them. ¡°What do you want me to do?¡± ¡°Do you need to ask?¡± Christina frowned and her tone became much stricter. ¡°Do your best to protect Alexa and then take her away.¡± ¡°I will.¡± ¡°But I don¡¯t believe in the rich.¡± Christina picked up the conversation and asked her assistant to bring over a contract. ¡°I need you to give me a promise,¡± Christina said sternly, ¡°You must guarantee that you will not do those stupid things and will treat her well for the rest of your life. Otherwise, all the capital of the Duran Group that you got will be returned to Alexa.¡± In Christina¡¯s eyes, there was a hint of inquiry. ¡°Terrence, do you dare?¡± Unexpectedly, Terrence did not hesitate at all. After taking the contract, he signed his name. ¡°I hope you can rest assured, but at the same time, you can set up as many tests for me as you want,¡± he said calmly, ¡°I can guarantee that I will not disappoint you.¡± Christina nodded. Her attitude towards Terrence seemed to have changed a lot. ¡°Go back to the ward and stay with Alexa.¡± Christina was confident. ¡°This operation is sessful. At least, she will be safe for six months.¡± ¡°What about the follow-up?¡± ¡°You said that I am a doctor, not a deity, so I have no way to make a promise to the future.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Terrence nodded and went back to the ward. He asked Edwin to get more guards, and Keyon also sent many people over. However, when Terrence passed the corridor, he found that Keyon was sitting there. His expression was gloomy, and his eyes were dark. ¡°Have you seen him?¡± Terrence asked. ¡°Terrence, are you willing to cooperate with me?¡± ¡°Tell me.¡± ¡°Send them all to prison.¡± This was nothing to Terrence. However, the hatred in Keyon¡¯s eyes was monstrous, and it was obvious that he was ying a bigger game. ¡°I have collected enough evidence. Next, I only need Derick to be the witness,¡± Keyon said in a deep voice, ¡°You don¡¯t need to care about what I will do, but I hope that you cane to testify.¡± ¡°Sure.¡± At this time, Christina received a call from Scott and returned to the vi. Scott was sitting on the sofa with a dark face. Severalwyers and consultants were standing next to him. When he saw Christina, he waved his hand irritably to have those people leave. The atmosphere was quiet for a moment. Scott suddenly picked up the medical records on the table and threw them at Christina¡¯s feet. ¡°Don¡¯t you have the best medical team?¡± he questioned her, ¡°Irvin is just suffering from food poisoning. Why hasn¡¯t he recovered after being treated for so long?¡± Christina nced at Scott coldly and took a deep breath. ¡°It must be your son¡¯s doing!¡± Scott was so angry that he mmed the table and stood up. When he looked at Christina¡¯s reddened eyes, there was no sympathy in his eyes. In front of outsiders, he could y the role of a loving father. But in Scott¡¯s heart, Irvin was the most important person. ¡°My son? Isn¡¯t he also your son?¡± Christinaughed angrily. ¡°Don¡¯t forget who killed Paxton back then.¡± Scott looked at Christina with undisguised hatred and disgust. ¡°If not for the fact that you gave birth to two children for the Duran family, do you think you can live until now?¡± ¡°Scott, you are just a heartless bastard! ¡°A bastard! ¡°They caused Alexa¡¯s miscarriage and her life is in danger. You just turned a blind eye to it.¡± Christina sneered. ¡°But you were nervous when your illegitimate child was slightly injured like your world is gonna copse. Scott, look what you¡¯ve done. ¡°The person I love has always been Paxton. For your child, I have tried my best to put up with them. ¡°Scott, I want a divorce.¡± Christina said these words firmly, but what she received was a p. Scott stood in front of Christina with a cold expression and grabbed her neck in anger. ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it.¡± ¡°Kaff kaff¡­¡± Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. ¡°Don¡¯t you like to be Mrs. Duran? Aren¡¯t you jealous enough to kill Paxton?¡± Scott gritted his teeth and increased the strength in his hands. ¡°I will keep a vicious and lowly woman like you by my side and torture you for a lifetime.¡± After venting his anger, Scott threw Christina away in extreme disgust. ¡°You better do your best to cure Irvin. Otherwise, I can¡¯t guarantee that the medicine to cure your daughter can be developed.¡± Chapter 352 Chapter 352 Chapter 352 He Never Loves You After speaking, Scott strode out of the living room. Christinay weakly on the ground, panting heavily. If Scott had not controlled himself just now, she might have died at his hands. It was not until the sound of the car engine came from outside the door that Hadley Madden, who had been hiding in the dark, showed up to help Christina. Obviously, this was not the first time such a scene had happened. ¡°Mrs. Duran.¡± Hadley¡¯s voice was shaking, and her heart ached. ¡°Why do you have to do this, Mrs. Duran?¡± ¡°I am fine. Bring me my medicine kit.¡± Christina stubbornly stood up and slowly returned to her room. Hadley brought the medicine kit over. Christina did not even raise her head as she asked Hadley to leave. Then, she began to deal with the wound by herself while looking in the mirror. She had a special physique. Even the slightest wound would leave marks on her skin for a long time. Christina applied some special ointment to reduce the swelling and then put on arge ne. After covering the wound, she left the roomposedly. ¡°Mrs. Duran, Keyon just called. He wants to eat with you tonight.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Christina agreed and went back to change into casual clothes. When Keyon saw her, Christina had a perfect smile on her face. ¡°Just the two of us?¡± Christina asked. ¡°Just us.¡± Keyon spoke seriously, and Christina instantly noticed that something was wrong. ¡°You want to ask about me and your father, right?¡± Christina asked and didn¡¯t bother to pretend to be an elegantdy. She lit a cigarette in front of Keyon. Seeing her like this, Keyon was actually surprised. ¡°Irvin is his illegitimate child,¡± Keyon asked calmly. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me about this before?¡± ¡°What¡¯s the use of telling you?¡± Christina exhaled a smoke ring. Her dark red lips looked charming. ¡°You can¡¯t deal with him. Maybe you will attract trouble,¡± she chuckled and said in a low voice. ¡°You are just a child.¡± ¡°Their targets are Alexa and Terrence. I thought you wouldn¡¯t just watch.¡± ¡°My family has long been destroyed by the Duran Group. What¡¯s the use of saying all this now?¡± Christina asked, looking at her son with some helplessness. Keyon was too simr to Scott. Sometimes, she even suspected that Keyon would be more ruthless than him. ¡°You hate him, or do you love him?¡± Keyon asked solemnly. ¡°Keyon, in this world, love and hate may not exist, but interests are above everything.¡± ¡°I can help you take back those interests.¡± ¡°He is your biological father. Do you have the heart to be against him?¡± ¡°He hurt my sister.¡± ¡°I did everything I could to send you away to stop you from getting involved. But¡­¡± ¡°He forced your family to go bankrupt, and both my grandparentsmitted suicide by jumping off a building. Can you live with that?¡± When Christina heard this, a hint of astonishment shed through her eyes. She never thought that Keyon would discover so many things. Christina¡¯s heart throbbed, and her face froze. She extinguished the cigarette and lowered her voice. ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡± ¡°His medical records are all in the medical center. I can have them all if I want.¡± ¡°What do you want to do?¡± Christina already had an answer in her heart, but she did not dare to say it. ¡°There is no illegitimate son and disputes in interests.¡± Keyon chuckled and walked behind Christina, pressing down on her shoulder. ¡°My father is an upright person and loves his wife and son. He suddenly gets sick and dies¡­¡± Sensing that the atmosphere seemed to have frozen, Keyon did not panic at all. ¡°Mom, are you satisfied with such an exnation?¡± ¡°Keyon¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ll start this n tomorrow.¡± Keyon stood up. ¡°Alexa is awake. You should go see her.¡± After a long time, he heard Christina¡¯s reply. ¡°Okay.¡± Inside the ward, Terrence was feeding Alexa. Seeing Christinae in, they looked at each other at the same time. Terrence put down the bowl and stood up. ¡°I¡¯ll leave you alone.¡± Alexa did not reply and silently watched Terrence leave the ward. Christina sat down and silently looked at Alexa. Seeing Alexa¡¯s normal expression as she looked at her, Christina curved her lips. ¡°You¡¯re awake?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Alexa said in a hoarse voice. ¡°Are you here to check my situation or to persuade me to stay?¡± Content held by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°I just want to talk to you.¡± Alexa hadn¡¯t even spoken a few words when her eyes suddenly became hot and she guiltily avoided eye contact with Christina. ¡°Alright, what are we talking about?¡± When she finished speaking, Alexa went a bit further and asked. ¡°Can you sit a little closer to me?¡± ¡°Sure.¡± Christina responded and immediately sat down by Alexa¡¯s bed. Alexa raised her hand slightly and her fingertip stopped not far away from Christina¡¯s hair. ¡°Only a few days have passed but you have gray hair¡­¡± Hearing this, Christina subconsciously raised her hand and lifted her hair. She exined apologetically. ¡°I¡¯ve been busytely, so I didn¡¯t pay much attention to this.¡± This was the first time Alexa looked at Christina so carefully. She was indeed beautiful. Even though time had made her old, it did not erase her beauty in the slightest. For the first time in her life, Christina put on makeup. This was a style that she disliked. Alexa sensed something and her gaze gradually fixed on her ne. Noticing Alexa¡¯s gaze, Christina guiltily wanted to stand up, but Alexa pressed down on the back of her hand. Christina seemed to have been cast a spell. She was frozen in front of Alexa. Alexa lifted her ne, and the terrifying bruise was visible. ¡°Who did this?¡± Alexa¡¯s eyes were cold as she stared at Christina. Seeing that Christina was hesitant to answer, Alexa cut off Christina¡¯s way out. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that you had an ident.¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± Christina tried to cover up. ¡°This is my business. Don¡¯t worry about it.¡± Alexa paused and was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes. ¡°I¡¯m your daughter. How can I not worry?¡± ¡°Alexa¡­¡± ¡°Who did this?¡± Alexa¡¯s patience was about to run out. Before Christina replied, she spoke first. ¡°Is it my so-called father?¡± ¡°There was a dispute between us, so¡­¡± ¡°Do you still think I am a fool?¡± Alexaughed coldly in despair. ¡°From the beginning, I could see that he never loved you.¡± Facing Christina¡¯s shocked gaze, Alexa said. ¡°If he really loves you, how could he find us after ten years?¡± After all, with the Duran family¡¯s power, protecting the two children was a piece of cake to them. Chapter 353 Chapter 353 Chapter 353 Revenge on Irvin ¡°Alexa, I¡¯m sorry.¡± ¡°You shouldn¡¯t be the one to apologize.¡± Alexa¡¯s gaze had been fixed on Christina¡¯s neck, and she seemed to be in a bad mood. Christina felt a bit regretful. If she had known earlier, she would not havee to see her like this. ¡°I still have things to do. Have a good rest.¡± Christina stood up and shook Alexa¡¯s fingertips. When she walked to the door, she suddenly heard Alexa say in a low voice. ¡°I might deal with him. Don¡¯t stop me.¡± These two siblings were so¡­ Christina was helpless. Although she did hate Scott, she did not want her child to be involved. She turned and walked to Alexa. Christina stared at Alexa¡¯s thin face with tears. In the end, she made up her mind and did what she always wanted to do. She held Alexa¡¯s face and leaned over to kiss her forehead. ¡°Alexa, I¡¯m sorry.¡± Christina apologized in a choked voice. ¡°I¡¯ve never sung the nursery rhyme you want to hear.¡± Alexa patted the back of Christina¡¯s hand and smiled at her. ¡°We can do that in the future. Go and get your things done.¡± Christina had something else to say, but now, she had to leave the ward. She did not want to cry in front of Alexa, and she did not want to affect Alexa¡¯s mood because of this. Christina pushed open the door. Terrence was standing quietly there. ¡°Take good care of my daughter.¡± Christina instructed him and returned to theboratory. When Terrence entered the ward, Alexa¡¯s eyes were red. She must have cried. ¡°Damarion just called.¡± Terrence pulled her into his arms. ¡°He misses you very much.¡± ¡°How can I meet Damarion like this?¡± Alexa raised her hand and rubbed her eyes. ¡°I must be ugly.¡± ¡°You¡¯re not ugly.¡± Terrence tidied up her messy hair and let her lean in his arms. ¡°What should I do to make you happy?¡± ¡°I am not sad.¡± ¡°Okay, then let¡¯s have a chat.¡± After calming down, Alexa suddenly said. ¡°I want to take revenge on Scott.¡± ¡°Why?¡± She could just let him take care of this trivial matter. ¡°As long as we dig a little further, we will probably find a lot of things,¡± Alexa said calmly. ¡°Moreover, I didn¡¯t trust him from the beginning. I always feel that he¡¯s dangerous.¡± ¡°Alright, I will cooperate with whatever you want to do.¡± Alexa was surprised to hear Terrence agree. ¡°Aren¡¯t you worried that my judgment is wrong?¡± ¡°No,¡± Terrence said confidently. ¡°I believe you, and I will support your choice.¡± Alexa smiled and held his finger. The next day, she met with Edwin. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, these are the documents you wanted.¡± Edwin handed her a file bag. Alexa read through the documents in a hurry and memorized them all in her mind. ¡°Edwin, did Irvin take any action?¡± ¡°Irvin has woken up.¡± Edwin frowned and said, ¡°I predicted that he would be unconscious for at least two weeks, but he suddenly woke up.¡± ¡°He is lucky enough to be alive.¡± Alexa¡¯s tone was filled with hatred. Even Edwin was shocked by her hostility. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine, Edwin.¡± Alexa smiled. ¡°I hope Terrence won¡¯t know about our meeting today.¡± ¡°I understand.¡± After Alexa gave a few simple instructions, she let Edwin leave. But for some reason, Edwin always felt that Alexa would do something incredible. As expected, just as Edwin left the ward, Alexa came down from the bed. Christina chose a minimally invasive surgery, and she used some special medicine to promote Alexa¡¯s recovery. Although Alexa had not fully recovered, she could move around. This was the intensive care unit area, so no outsiders were allowed to be present. When Alexa sneaked into Irvin¡¯s ward, no one found her. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. Although Irvin had woken up, he was still lying weakly on the bed at the moment, looking tortured. Hearing the noise at the door, Irvin looked up and instantly felt that he had seen a ghost. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Irvin struggled to get up and wanted to press the call button by the window. However, Alexa walked forward and grabbed his cor. She raised her hand and gave him a loud p. ¡°Alexa, you are crazy!¡± Irvin gritted his teeth and was so angry that his veins bulged. ¡°How dare you p me? Are you courting death!¡± ¡°What? Can¡¯t I p you?¡± Alexa raised her eyebrows coldly and her strength became stronger. ¡°Irvin, I wish to kill you!¡± ¡°You¡­ slut!¡± Irvin didn¡¯t even have time to fight back before Alexa grabbed his wrist and twisted it. She dislocated Irvin¡¯s arm. ¡°Just bear with it!¡± Alexa shouted angrily. ¡°It¡¯ll be merciful of me to let you live.¡± Irvin could not exert any strength and could only be pulled off the bed by Alexa. He fell to his knees with a ¡°bang¡±. Alexa was not satisfied with just pping him. She lifted Irvin by his cor. ¡°Irvin, do you think I¡¯m a pushover?¡± Irvin was speechless and could only stare at Alexa with malicious eyes. ¡°I will make you pay with blood!¡± Alexa was furious. When Terrence brought people over, the situation in the ward was out of control. Alexa¡¯s hospital gown was stained with blood, but seeing that Alexa was not injured, Terrence was relieved. On the other hand, Irvin looked much worse. Alexa stepped on Irvin, and when Terrence took her away, she kicked Irvin. After a short silence, Alexa threw herself into Terrence¡¯s arms and cried out like mad. This farce ended hastily. With Terrence protecting her, the people of the Niebergall family did not dare to do anything to Alexa. Alexa rested for three days in peace. Keyon suddenly sent a message that Scott had fallen ill. The medical center¡¯s mission doubled, and every doctor had a serious expression. When Alexa learned of this news, she was walking in the garden. When she pped Irvin that day, she tore the wound. From then on, Terrence was with her all the time. ¡°Why is Scott suddenly sick?¡± Alexa tly said this sentence, and there was no pity in her eyes. These days, Edwin handed all the documents he found to her. The embezzlement was just a trivial matter. Besides that, the death of Elliott was also rted to him. To seize power, Scott did not hesitate to kill his father and frame Terrence. ¡°I have contacted the police,¡± Terrence said. ¡°The evidence has been handed over. ¡°His crimes are numerous. He will spend the rest of his life in prison.¡± Alexa did not have any feelings for this ¡°biological father¡± of hers, but in those two years, he indeed disguised himself as a loving father. It was rather ironic. Chapter 354 Chapter 354 Chapter 354 Alexa¡¯s Cruelty She did not want to interfere with the affairs of the Duran family.But Christina went to her and Terrence. ¡°Alexa, he wants to see you.¡± Alexa did not refuse to meet Scott. Terrence followed her to Scott¡¯s ward without saying a word. Many members of the Duran family were outside the ward. It seemed that Scott was seriously ill. Alexa twitched the corner of her mouth, and she swept over the people in front of her lightly. A momentter, the crowd started to gossip. ¡°How can she have the cheek to show up when she hurt the guest of the Duran family so much?¡± The man¡¯s words opened the floodgates to moreints. C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. ¡°That¡¯s right, Mr. Niebergall is not something whoever can afford to offend.¡± ¡°If you are smart, hurry up and scram. Mr. Duran¡¯s health is not good. His condition will get worse if he sees you.¡± Terrence¡¯s face was darkened. These people didn¡¯t mind theirnguage and did not realize what they would end up with. The Duran family only kept muddled along and had no idea of what kind of person Terrence was. Sensing Terrence¡¯s cold aura, Alexa grabbed his arm. ¡°Since everyone knows that I was the one who beat Irvin, how dare you have the guts to provoke me?¡± Alexa said. Alexa was calm as she spoke. Although her voice was not loud, she had an air of quiet authority. ¡°Don¡¯t be so shameless! This is the territory of the Duran family. You bastard has no right to speak here!¡± ¡°A bastard?¡± Alexa smiled and swept a nce at Terrence¡¯s extremely gloomy face. ¡°What do you mean by saying this in front of my father¡¯s ward? Do you want to make things worse?¡± ¡°You¡­¡± The man choked, unable to say a word again. ¡°You publicly insulted me. I don¡¯t think you are on our side,¡± Alexa looked upzily and continued, ¡°I can go in and report it to my father right now and let him drive you out of the Duran family.¡± Just as Alexa finished speaking, the door to the ward was opened. Keyon came out of the ward with a cold face and stood beside Alexa. ¡°Father is waiting for you.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Alexa nodded gracefully and entered the ward. Terrence¡¯s malicious eyes were fixed on the man just now, but he didn¡¯t say a word. ¡°Edwin.¡± ¡°Yes, Mr. Ramsey.¡± Seeing this, Keyon casually ordered his subordinates. ¡°Go deal with him,¡± Keyon mentioned the man who just insulted Alexa. The man did not know what had happened and was dragged away by the burly bodyguards. The others lowered their heads with pale faces, not daring to look up at the two men in front of them. The few people who had been arrogant just now were now trembling in fear and not as arrogant as before. Terrence pinched between his eyebrows and felt irritated. At this time, Alexa walked to Scott¡¯s bedside. ording to the doctor¡¯s diagnosis, the cause of the illness was a stroke. Alexa was stunned when she saw that Scott¡¯s body was inserted with tubes, and he was frozen, only his eyes could move. ¡°There¡­ There you are¡­¡± ¡°Yes, Dad.¡± ¡°I know that you have been investigating something behind the scenes recently.¡± ¡°Oh? What is it?¡± Alexa was calm, as if she did not understand what Scott was saying. She didn¡¯t sense Scott¡¯s guilt. He just felt unconvinced about his secret being discovered. ¡°This is the way of life. If I don¡¯t take the initiative to attack, I will be harmed.¡± ¡°Can you even harm your father?¡± Alexa¡¯s eyes became much colder. ¡°Then you shifted the me to Terrence and turned the lies into the truth.¡± ¡°I was forced to do so.¡± Scott turned his eyes with difficulty and continued. ¡°He didn¡¯t suffer any loss, did he?¡± Hearing Scott¡¯s indifferent tone, Alexa was furious again. However, she remained calm on the surface, not showing any signs of weakness in front of Scott. ¡°You are very much like your mother.¡± ¡°Thanks for yourpliment.¡± ¡°I hope you and Keyon can ept Irvin. He is your brother, in the name, and I¡¯m going to share the property of the Duran family with¡­¡± ¡°Alright. You should have some rest,¡± Alexa lowered her eyes and interrupted him. After saying that, she quietly took out a medical tool from her sleeve and urately inserted it into Scott¡¯s neck. Scott¡¯s pupils contracted, and he opened his mouth in shock, unable to speak anything. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I will just silence you for the time being.¡± Alexa smiled in satisfaction and left the ward leisurely. As soon as she went out, Terrence couldn¡¯t wait to hug her. Most of the Duran family stared at her vigntly. ¡°Ms. Duran, what did Mr. Duran say to you?¡± someone asked tentatively. ¡°It¡¯s just a chat between father and daughter. There¡¯s nothing serious. Why are you looking at me like that? If you don¡¯t believe me, go ask yourself,¡± Alexa said, raising her eyebrows. ¡°No. We believe in you.¡± The man quickly looked for a vent out. ¡°I am just worried about his health.¡± ¡°My father is in good health. Don¡¯t worry about him.¡± With Keyon and Terrence standing behind her, no one present dared to question Alexa. ¡°My mother will hold a banquet in the dance hall tonight to thank all of you for your concern for my father. Would you like to join us?¡± When she finished, none of the people present dared to reply. Keyon frowned in dissatisfaction and said threateningly. ¡°What? It seems that you are unhappy with the banquet.¡± ¡°No. We will definitely attend the banquet on time.¡± ¡°Very good.¡± Alexa nodded in satisfaction, a smile once again appearing on her face. Terrence swept indifferently over the people in front of him. For the sake of Alexa, he did not rebuke them. After leaving the medical department, Terrence stopped. ¡°You¡¯re not interested in the Duran family, are you?¡± ¡°No,¡± Alexazily replied. The warm sunshine shone on her, and Alexa narrowed her eyes like a kitten. ¡°I just think it¡¯s quite fun to embarrass them.¡± She said it casually, but Terrence chuckled. ¡°What¡¯s so fun about dealing with these irrelevant people?¡± Hearing the jealousy in his words, Alexa tiptoed and kissed Terrence¡¯s jaw. ¡°Are you jealous of these unimportant people?¡± she asked with a smile. Terrence was afraid that Alexa would hurt her wound, so he gently pulled her into his arms and prevented her from moving again. ¡°Well, a little bit,¡± Terrence replied. He brushed the hair on Alexa¡¯s temples and looked at her deeply. ¡°I don¡¯t want you to waste your time and energy on those people. Just leave them to me.¡± ¡°Actually, this is quite interesting.¡± Alexa smiled, and her calm eyes shed with a calcting light. ¡°The more he cherishes those things, the more I want to destroy them.¡± Alexa longed for family love, but she had her principles. For the sake of so-called power, Scott could be cruel enough to harm his parents and children, which was what Alexa hated the most. Irvin was just an illegitimate son, and Alexa didn¡¯t put him in the eye. ¡°In fact, if Irvin is not so greedy and does not want to plot against you, I can keep him alive.¡± Alexa smiled mockingly. ¡°Unfortunately, he is too stupid.¡± Chapter 355 Chapter 355 Chapter 355 Don¡¯t You Like Daughters? Irvin was so stupid that he thought Alexa would be trampled upon at will. ¡°He has no way out,¡± Terrence suddenly said. ¡°What do you want to do?¡± ¡°When he attacked you, he had already burnt the bridges.¡± Terrence hid the ruthlessness in his eyes very well. ¡°You have not fully recovered yet,¡± Terrence said with worry. ¡°Go back first.¡± Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. ¡°I can be discharged now,¡± Alexa said. Even if she could be discharged, she could not leave this ind. ¡°Let¡¯s go back to our house.¡± Worried that Terrence would not agree, Alexa pulled at his sleeve pitifully. ¡°My wound is almost healed. I¡¯m fine.¡± ¡°I know that you must have been tired of the food in the hospital. I have already asked Edwin to prepare some delicious food for you.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Alexa was excited, but before he could do anything, Terrence silently held her down. ¡°Don¡¯t move.¡± ¡°OK. Thank you, darling!¡± Alexa blinked her innocent eyes. ¡°What¡­ What did you call me?¡± Terrence suddenly coughed unnaturally, and his ears turned red. Alexa looked at his shy look and deliberately leaned closer to look at him carefully. ¡°We have been together for a long time. Why are you so shy, darling?¡± Alexa teased him. Terrence¡¯s body tightened, and Alexa let him go reluctantly.He always teased her in the past. ¡°I¡¯m not used to it.¡± ¡°Not used to what? Was I very fierce to you in the past?¡± Alexa immediately caught the main point. ¡°No.¡± ¡°Is that because I was not gentle enough?¡± ¡°Of course not.¡± Terrence seemed to be enjoying it. ¡°I just want to hear it a few more times.¡± ¡°Alright, darling.¡± Alexa said word by word, and Terrence instantly held her hand even tighter. Her voice was so gentle that it tickled Terrence¡¯s heart, and now it was even more touching, like honey that could relieve the bitterness Terrence felt. ¡°Aren¡¯t you hungry? I¡¯ll go back and cook for you now.¡± Terrence did not realize how much he had dwelt at this moment. He wished that time could stop at this moment. Alexa smiled. She looked more energetic now and did not look like a patient. Terrence was very sure that her condition must be improving. At this moment, he was convinced that he must be blessed. He was lucky to have Alexa by his side. Alexa looked at the two shadows on the ground and suddenly said. ¡°Terrence, when I get healed, let¡¯s have another child.¡± Terrence was so shocked that he almost lost his footing. ¡°No. There is no room for negotiation on this issue.¡± He suddenly looked serious. ¡°But I want a daughter.¡± When she thought of how Terrence raised his daughter, Alexa was excited and couldn¡¯t wait to have a daughter. Moreover, Damarion must be a great brother. ¡°Don¡¯t you like daughters?¡± she asked curiously. How could he not like daughters? Hearing this soft word, Terrence¡¯s heart went soft. He had dreamed of having a daughter before. And he wanted his daughter to be as smart and cute as Alexa. But when he thought of Alexa¡¯s physical condition and the risk of fertility, Terrence refused to have another child. ¡°Of course, I do.¡± He exined seriously, ¡°But I want you to be safe.¡± Alexa smiled and did not say much. The weather in early spring was not warm, but her heart was warm. When she returned to the house, it was just sunset. Terrence was cooking in the kitchen, and Alexa had a video call with Damarion. Even though he had not seen Alexa for so long, Damarion was still very happy and did not cry or make a fuss. Although Alexa was also smiling, she felt a bit bitter. Damarion was just two years old, and he needed his parents¡¯ love the most now, but he had been apart from them. ¡°Baby, Mom and Dad wille back as soon as possible after settling the matter, OK?¡± ¡°Great!¡± Damarion nodded and agreed in a childish voice. He trusted Alexa. After chatting with Damarion, Alexa chatted with Rebekah. ¡°Alexa, don¡¯t worry. We are all right,¡± Rebekah said gently to her. ¡°I have already told Terrence to take good care of you. My good girl, you have lost a lot of weight.¡± Alexa¡¯s eyes turned sour, and her vision gradually blurred with tears. But she was worried that Rebekah would worry about her when she cried, so Alexa held back her tears. After Alexa finished the call, Terrence brought thest dish to the table. Although all the dishes were light, they were Alexa¡¯s favorite food. She raised her hand to wipe away the tears that were about to fall and sat down in front of the dining table with anticipation. Alexa was really hungry. She didn¡¯t stop eating and soon finished most of the dishes. Ever since she fell ill, Terrence had never seen her have such a good appetite. ¡°Take it slowly. No one will snatch the dishes from you,¡± he said lightly. ¡°What¡¯s more, there will be a partyter.¡± ¡°The party won¡¯t make me full,¡± Alexa said seriously. ¡°That is the battlefield.¡± With Terrence by her side, no one would dare toe and find trouble with her. But if she wanted to be in power in the Duran family, she had to do something. After dinner, Edwin came with Alexa¡¯s dress and styling team. Because her injuries had yet to heal, Terrence did not choose a dress that was too revealing. Alexa picked up the dress and went to the bedroom, looking like she did not think so much. Terrence immediately followed her. ¡°I will help you change the dress,¡± he lowered his voice. Alexa readily agreed, but when Terrence carefully untied her buttons, she subconsciously wanted to cover her body. The stitches on her wound had yet to be removed. Deep in her heart, Alexa did not want Terrence to see her ugly side. When thest piece of clothing slipped down, Alexa subconsciously raised her hand to cover her chest. ¡°Don¡¯t look at me. I¡¯m not looking well now.¡± Alexa pursed her lips and looked very embarrassed. But Terrence did not have the slightest intention of teasing her. He kissed Alexa¡¯s eyshes seriously, then he kissed the corners of her eyes, the tip of her nose, her lips¡­ All the way down, his warm lips gently stopped around her wounds. Alexa¡¯s breathing instantly became much heavier, and her breasts rose and fell inevitably. The wounds were improving. When Terrence¡¯s gentle kisses fell on the surroundings of the wounds, Alexa felt itchy. Alexa pushed his shoulder, but Terrence held her in his arms and sat down by the bed. The dressing mirror in front of them reflected the erotic scene in the room. Alexa was too embarrassed to look at the scene in the mirror, so she had to hook her arms around Terrence¡¯s neck and bury her head in his neck shyly. ¡°Stop, Terrence¡­¡± her voice was soft and trembling. Chapter 356 Chapter 356 Chapter 356 Alexa¡¯s Announcement ¡°It¡¯s not ugly.¡± Terrence¡¯s hoarse and maic voice was as low as a cello. ¡°It¡¯s beautiful, very beautiful.¡± Alexa¡¯s skin was tender, and after Terrence¡¯s gentle kisses, a few love bites were left on the skin. However, Terrence still maintained his rationality and let her go. Alexa took a few deep breaths and could sense that Terrence seemed to have¡­ Her face turned red, and she tacitly chose to remain silent. Terrence looked away and pretended that nothing had happened. He took the dress and patiently and meticulously put it on Alexa. The clever design of the cor just so happened to cover her wound and the skin that had been kissed red. Terrence smiled and wrapped his arms around her slender waist from behind. Alexa suddenly was absent-minded and hurriedly stopped him with a red face. ¡°You have to stop.¡± Terrence held her waist and took the opportunity to kiss behind Alexa¡¯s ear. Then, he wandered his hand from her waist to her back and pulled the two straps. ¡°Is it too tight?¡± ¡°What?¡± Alexa was so shy that she couldn¡¯t speak. ¡°What are you thinking about?¡± C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org. Terrence deliberately asked, and Alexa immediately edged him with her elbow. ¡°Nothing. Don¡¯t ask!¡± ¡°OK.¡± Terrence nodded and continued to dress for her just like a professional stylist. ¡°What about this?¡± He adjusted the straps. ¡°If it hurts, tell me.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt. It¡¯s fine.¡± Realizing that she was starting to think something evil, Alexa suddenly felt guilty. Terrence looked through the mirror and met her watery eyes.He subconsciously felt that his lips were dry. ¡°Are you peeking at me?¡± ¡°No!¡± Alexa denied it firmly. But on second thought, this was her man. She felt justified to peek at him. However, before Alexa could say something, Terrence hurriedly tied the straps and went to the bathroom without looking back. Seeing that he left so urgently, Alexa asked doubtfully. ¡°Are you OK?¡± ¡°I¡­ I am very fine!¡± Terrence said through his clenched feet. When he appeared again, Terrence had changed into a ssic ck suit and wore a cold look. But the moment he saw Alexa, Terrence¡¯s calm eyes instantly got excited. Even the stylist who had always dealt with supermodels couldn¡¯t help but praise Alexa. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, you are definitely the most beautiful model I have ever seen.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Alexa smiled sweetly. Terrence liked her very much, and he suddenly didn¡¯t want others to see her so beautiful. Those jerks were not worthy of seeing Alexa, who he regarded as a treasure. ¡°I have already begun to look forward to tonight¡¯s banquet.¡± Alexa held his arm and gave a determined smile. When they arrived at the hall, all the guests had arrived. With Keyon putting pressure on them, the Duran family had toe. But the moment they saw Alexa, those sharp and unkind people all looked shocked and amazed. Alexa was very beautiful and even had a powerful aura that only the superiors had. Others couldn¡¯t ignore her at all. After seeing them, Christina ended her conversation with a man and walked over to them. ¡°Alexa, Terrence, there you are,¡± Christina smiled very gently. ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa nodded and looked at the man Christina just talked to not far away. ¡°That gentleman looks unfamiliar. He doesn¡¯t seem to be from the Duran family.¡± ¡°No.¡± Christina took a sip of champagne and revealed a shy smile that only young girls would have. ¡°He is an old friend of mine. We have known each other for many years. His name is Henry Dawson.¡± At the same time, Henry also noticed Alexa¡¯s gaze, and very gentlemanly raised his ss to signal to them. Alexa nodded slightly, and Terrence walked over. Christina seemed to be a little worried, but she was too embarrassed to show it in front of Alexa, so she could only take another sip of champagne calmly. But Alexa had seen through her thoughts. ¡°What are your ns now?¡± Hearing this, Christina did not n to hide it anymore. ¡°I have already contacted thewyer to prepare for a divorce.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa nodded. ¡°I support you.¡± this matter will definitely be blocked by many. I¡¯m afraid¡­¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing to be afraid of. We are all by your side.¡± After Alexa finished speaking, she turned the topic back to Henry. ¡°How long have you known him?¡± ¡°He is my first love.¡± Christina lowered her voice. ¡°He has been single for so many years. He is really stupid¡­¡± Even though Christina said this, her eyes were filled with smiles. This was the first time Alexa had seen her smile so happily. ¡°I don¡¯t think it¡¯s proper for a middle-aged woman to dwell on love like young girls.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not like that. People should live for love,¡± Alexa said resolutely. ¡°When I deal with the matters, I will think about it carefully.¡± Christina said, and her eyes lit up again. She had been tired of the decades of fake marriage. Now her first love, who had waited for her for twenty years, hade to her. Christina actually had expectations for marriage. ¡°Alexa, I hope you can keep this from Keyon for the time being.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Speak of the devil and the devil arrives. Alexa turned around and saw Keyon walking towards them. ¡°What are you talking about?¡± Keyon greeted them with warmth and then said, ¡°Alexa, everyone is here.¡± ¡°OK.¡± Alexa nodded mysteriously, and Terrence followed. They walked side by side to the front of the hall and immediately attracted everyone¡¯s attention. ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, now the head of the Duran family is seriously ill, and in order to maintain the normal operation of the Duran Group, I will officially take over the position of CEO of the Duran Group from now on.¡± ¡°What?¡± The announcement caused an uproar in the crowd. Alexa calmly swept her eyes over the people below and added with a smile. ¡°In addition, the Duran Group will cooperate with the Hudson Group. I will do my best to seek more benefits for the family.¡± ¡°Ms. Duran, is this the arrangement of the head of the Duran family? We have never heard of such a decision?¡± someone questioned. ¡°This is indeed my husband¡¯s decision,¡± Christina spoke with a cold face, looking unquestionable, ¡°He is currently bedridden and cannot act normally. ording to the rules of the Duran family, I am in charge of the Duran Group.¡± Alexa and Christina¡¯s words instantly left the crowd speechless. ¡°Even so, it should be Mr. Duran who takes office. You have married, and you shouldn¡¯t interfere in the affairs of the Duran family,¡± someone said with disdain. Chapter 357 Chapter 357 Chapter 357 The Kiss Is Not Perfect ¡°The Duran family has never had the precedent that the married members couldn¡¯t interfere in the affairs of the family.¡± Christina was very sharp and did not look gentle as she used to be. ¡°As long as she has the blood of the Duran family, Alexa will always be a member of the Duran family.¡± ¡°It¡­¡± ¡°It seems that you still haven¡¯t thought it through.¡± Terrence whispered, ¡°Do you need me to teach you?¡± ¡°No.¡± The man quickly lowered his head. ¡°I see.¡± The struggle for power did not convince the old foxes of the Duran family. But Alexa was not in a hurry. As long as she could enter the higher-ups of the Duran Group, she did not have to worry about not getting evidence of Scott¡¯s crime. ¡°Since there is no objection, why keep quiet?¡± Keyon¡¯s cold eyes swept across the crowd, and the on-site orchestra immediately understood and started ying. The originally silent hall was instantly filled with man-made liveliness. The crowd didn¡¯t look good, but they didn¡¯t dare to openly provoke Alexa and others. Alexa didn¡¯t like dancing, especially under the watchful eyes of these people. She tugged at Terrence¡¯s sleeve. ¡°Do you want to catch some fresh air?¡± In the quiet garden, only the sound of gurgling water was heard. ¡°What do you think of Mr. Dawson?¡± ¡°Not bad.¡± Terrence answered truthfully, ¡°He should be a good match with mother.¡± He said ¡°mother¡± instead of ¡°your mother¡±. The smile on Alexa¡¯s face widened. ¡°You thought the same?¡± ¡°What?¡± Sensing that she was talking about Christina and Henry, Terrence smiled helplessly. ¡°It¡¯s too obvious.¡± He patiently exined, ¡°The eyes will show everything when ones are in love.¡± ¡°So that exins it.¡± Alexa just said it casually, and she didn¡¯t expect Terrence to take it to heart.He suddenly grabbed Alexa¡¯s jaw and let her look into his eyes. ¡°Look into my eyes.¡± Terrence said slowly, ¡°Did my eyes show everything?¡± Alexa nced at his eyes and then smiled shyly. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, so do your eyes.¡± They smiled at each other. The warm yellow light beside the hot spring made the atmosphere even more intimate. ¡°So shouldn¡¯t you kiss me? Perhaps I should kiss you?¡± Alexa suddenly said. ¡°Yes.¡± After Terrence finished speaking, he leaned over and gave a light peck on her delicate lips. Alexa suddenly thought of something and hurriedly pushed him away. ¡°My lipstick¡­¡± But Terrence wouldn¡¯t allow her to push him away. Terrence wanted to take another step. Just as he was about to deepen the kiss, a strange voice came from the other end of the hot spring. ¡°What the fuck! We were tricked by those two women!¡± ¡°With Terrence¡¯s support, Alexa didn¡¯t put us in her eyes at all.¡± ¡°Look at her coquettish appearance. She might have seduced too many men.¡± Alexa could hear that these two men were the ones who had openly provoked her in the hall just now. ¡°Just as coquettish as Christina.¡± ¡°When Scott dies, many men will y with her.¡± The conversation between the two scum was getting more and more obscene. Alexa simmered with rage. Terrence walked over with a dark face. He directly picked up the back of the two men and mmed them hard against each other. Before they could react, Terrence easily threw them into the water pool. ¡°Who the hell are you? How dare you hit me!¡± One of them was so angry that he cursed, but when he saw Terrence¡¯s darkened face, he was instantly frightened to silence. ¡°Mr¡­ Mr. Ramsey¡­¡± The other person trembled and cried out, scared out of his wits. ¡°Continue. You were talkative just now,¡± Terrence said with a cruel sneer. One of the men had a ttering smile on his face. As soon as his hands touched the shore, Terrence stomped on his arm. ¡°The Duran family is so dirty!¡± Terrence whispered in disgust. ¡°It¡¯s time to clean up these people.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Terrence kicked the man in the chest. The clear hot spring pool was instantly dyed with blood. When Edwin heard the sound, he rushed over and saw two men being beaten badly by Terrence. ¡°Mr. Ramsey.¡± ¡°Clean it up,¡± Terrence ordered impatiently. In less than two minutes, the people brought by Edwin wiped away all Traces. Terrence took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands in a noble manner. Only when he thought that his hands were clean did he hold Alexa¡¯s hand again. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. Tonight¡¯s kiss is not perfect.¡± Terrence instantly put away his cold look. Alexa was stunned for a while, and Terrence was nervous. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I scared you just now.¡± Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. But Alexa did not say anything but threw herself into his arms. ¡°Are you hurt?¡± Hearing this, Terrence was a little surprised. ¡°No, of course not.¡± He rubbed Alexa¡¯s hair. ¡°Look, I¡¯m fine.¡± Even though the two men had been beaten so badly just now, Terrence didn¡¯t have slight injuries. Alexa looked him up and down. Confirming that he was right, she breathed a sigh of relief. ¡°I wasn¡¯t scared.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± ¡°But you were right.¡± Alexa said thoughtfully, ¡°There are too many jerks in the Duran family. It is time to clean them up.¡± Terrence did not want these people to affect her mood, so he took Alexa and left the venue. When she took the medicine in the evening, Alexa did not deliberately avoid Terrence. Looking at the bottles and jars in front of her, Terrence could not help but feel distressed. ¡°Have you been in so much pain recently?¡± ¡°No.¡± Alexa shook her head. ¡°I feel much better.¡± The medicine was very bitter, and even though she had taken them many times, Alexa still frowned at their bitterness. Terrence had already brought her favorite candied fruit. After Alexa endured the bitter taste with great difficulty, Terrence came over again. ¡°Come on.¡± Alexa tried to stop him, but she couldn¡¯t. There was still lipstick on her delicate lips, which smelled of chocte and medicinal fragrance and made people feel extremely at ease. However, Terrence did not go overboard. It was only when Alexa was a little out of breath that Terrence reluctantly let go of her and hugged her in his arms. ¡°Can I just hug you like this and sleep?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not your teddy bear,¡± Alexa pouted. ¡°Of course not, but you¡¯re the daring love in my life.¡± In his arms, Alexa quickly fell asleep. Terrence covered her with a quilt and then went out with his mobile phone. David called him several times. The moment Terrence answered the call, David was excited. ¡°Terrence, I have made great progress! The healing rate can reach 60%!¡± Chapter 358 Chapter 358 Chapter 358 Working for My Wife Terrence¡¯s nervousness finally eased a bit. ¡°Is it reliable?¡± ¡°It is still in the third phase of the experiment, but there should not be any problems. The research will continue, and there is hope to increase the healing rate to more than 80%.¡± ¡°Very good.¡± Terrence¡¯s tone was full of expectation. ¡°But I hope it is 100%.¡± ¡°Of course. I will work hard!¡± After talking about the treatment n, David asked casually. ¡°How is everything going on?¡± ¡°I n to send Scott to prison.¡± Terrence was concise andprehensive, which gave David a big fright. ¡°What the hell! Isn¡¯t he the biological father of your wife? Are you going to send your father-inw to prison? What crime did hemit?¡± David asked in shock. ¡°He will receive a life sentence for any of these crimes,¡± Terrence calmly exined, ¡°What¡¯s more, my wife does not intend to forgive him.¡± ¡°Her family is reallyplicated.¡± David was shocked and quickly ended this conversation. Terrence had a rare good night¡¯s sleep. Even when Alexa woke up the next day, he was still sleeping. She slowly got up andy sideways on the bed, quietly looking at Terrence¡¯s sleeping face. His eyshes fluttered, and he let out a low and sexy groan. Soon after, Alexa felt a strong arm wrapped around her waist and easily pulled her over. In less than three seconds, she firmly stuck to Terrence¡¯s chest. Although his eyes were still closed, he smiled evilly. ¡°So you were awake?¡± Alexa felt like she had fallen into a trap. ¡°No.¡± Terrence calmly opened his eyes. ¡°I just woke up now.¡± ¡°I n to go to the office today.¡± Hearing this, Terrence waspletely awake. ¡°Go to the office?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa nodded seriously. ¡°Since I have now be the CEO of the Duran Group, I should do what I have to do.¡± Terrence did not give her any feedback to fight for her career, but before that, he had to ensure that Alexa would not be hurt by others. ¡°Okay.¡± He nodded. Alexa did not expect Terrence to be so easily convinced this time. She was a bit overjoyed for a while. She quickly kissed his Adam¡¯s apple and then quickly got up to clean up. Terrence touched the ce where she had just kissed. He had nned to take the opportunity to ask for a reward, but she just ran away in a sh. When Alexa and Terrence went downstairs, Christina and Keyon were also in the living room. ¡°Mom, Keyon.¡± Alexa was a little surprised. ¡°When did you guyse?¡± ¡°Just now,¡± Christina said with a smile, ¡°I guessed that you and Terrence should still be resting, so I didn¡¯t ask the servants to wake you two up.¡± Terrence politely greeted them and then put on the apron and went to the kitchen. Christina did not understand what was going on. ¡°Just let the chef prepare it.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. Terrence often cooks at home.¡± Alexa was as shy as a young girl who had just opened her heart to love. ¡°I am not used to the dishes cooked by the chef.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Terrence nodded to echo Alexa¡¯s words. ¡°Wow.¡± Christina patted Keyon. ¡°Keyon, you also have to learn to cook from Terrence.¡± In front of Christina, Keyon had to be polite to Terrence. ¡°I will.¡± With Christina present, Terrence was twice as efficient as usual. Not long after, he prepared a perfect breakfast. Christina nodded with a look of approval. ¡°Alexa, are you nning to go to the officeter?¡± ¡°Yes, mom. This is my first time entering thepany¡¯s upper management, so I have to learn more.¡± Alexa was excited. ¡°With Terrence and your brother here, what are you afraid of?¡± The atmosphere was warm, as if there was an invisible iceberg silently turning into soft spring water. ¡°Finley has almost recovered,¡± Christina added. ¡°He will be discharged in two days.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Alexa nodded. She was finally relieved. ¡°But in this situation, I am not at ease if he continues to stay here.¡± Hearing Christina¡¯s words, Terrence lowered his eyes slightly. ¡°If he is willing, he cane back to New York with us. I can contact David for him,¡± Terrence said in a business-like manner. ¡°Thank you.¡± Christina smiled sincerely. After breakfast, they apanied Alexa to the Duran Group¡¯s headquarters. When they learned that the new president would arrive at thepany today, all the employees were ready to wait, afraid that there would be mistakes. But the focus of Alexa was not on them at all. As soon as she entered thepany, she went to the finance department. Terrence followed her with great interest. Seeing this, he teased, ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, you¡¯re very skilled.¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, it was you who taught me well.¡± In order to let her adapt to the work of thepany as soon as possible, Terrence almost gave all the experience he had gained to Alexa. Alexa read the ount book and seemed to be in a good mood. ¡°What if one day I get addicted to being the president and don¡¯t want to go back?¡± Terrence¡¯s expression immediately changed.He wrapped his arms around Alexa¡¯s waist from behind her and rubbed against her neck. ¡°That won¡¯t do. Ourpany is still waiting for you to go back.¡± ¡°Hudson Group clearly has you.¡± ¡°I have already transferred all the shares under your name. Now I am working for you.¡± Terrence¡¯s tone was even full of expectation. ¡°So, Ms. Duran, when are you free to guide my work?¡± Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. ¡°I¡¯m very busy now.¡± Alexa turned around and held his face. ¡°But it is not impossible to give an exception.¡± She gently smiled and took the opportunity to push Terrence to the office chair. He was stunned for a second and did not react to what was going on. Then, Alexa sat on hisp and continued to read the information in her hands. Terrence was afraid that he would make Alexa ufortable, so he could only hug her. ¡°Tell me, what kind of work do you want me to guide you with?¡± Alexa asked without raising her head, but Terrence did not answer.She looked up at him doubtfully, only to see that Terrence¡¯s ears were red, and he seemed to be avoiding her gaze with a guilty conscience. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, why are you blushing again?¡± Alexa asked deliberately. Terrence was speechless. He realized that Alexa was actually sexually teasing him. Just as the two of them were talking, the telephone suddenly rang. Terrence frowned slightly, dissatisfied with this ringtone. Alexa picked up the phone, and her face suddenly became serious. ¡°Let here up.¡± In less than five minutes, Giselle led a group ofwyers to the office door. ¡°Alexa, you shameless bitch!¡± Giselle scolded aggressively. Terrence¡¯s face instantly turned cold. Chapter 359 Chapter 359 Chapter 359 Are You Pretending Again? ¡°Edwin.¡± Terrence said in a gloomy tone. Edwin immediately understood and immediately called a group of bodyguards. Giselle nced at them with a guilty conscience, but then straightened her back. ¡°I¡¯m here today to seek justice for my brother! Thispany belongs to my brother,¡± Giselle said arrogantly. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Hearing this, Alexa smiled indifferently. ¡°Do you know that thispany is the Duran family¡¯s?¡± ¡°So what? Mr. Duran said that he would leave thispany to my brother!¡± Giselle was so angry that she wished she could step on Alexa right now! If not for Alexa, Keyon wouldn¡¯t have left her. Moreover, her belly was getting bigger and bigger. Although Giselle didn¡¯t like this child, she couldn¡¯t abort it. Otherwise, the Niebergall family would definitely treat her as an abandoned child. The only thing she could do now was to take down the Duran Group and get Keyon back. ¡°Ms. Niebergall, your brother is also a member of the Niebergall family like you.¡± Alexa looked up calmly. ¡°Why would my father leave thepany to him for no reason?¡± ¡°That¡¯s because¡­¡± Before Giselle could finish her sentence, thewyer behind her coughed. Giselle stopped talking and an awkward expression appeared on her face. ¡°Because of what?¡± Alexa asked calmly. She and Terrence looked at each other, smiling. Obviously, Giselle had not improved at all. ¡°Alexa, just you wait. I will definitely make you regret it!¡± ¡°You can try.¡± There were no emotions in Terrence¡¯s voice. ¡°As long as you dare.¡± Giselle was very afraid of Terrence, but she had no way out now. ¡°Then let¡¯s wait and see.¡± She curled her lips disdainfully. The door lock made a slight noise. Terrence and Alexa looked behind Giselle unhurriedly. Giselle was stunned and suddenly sensed a familiar feeling. Keyon stepped into the room, his dark eyes locked on Giselle. ¡°What do you want to say?¡± ¡°Keyon¡­¡± Giselle murmured, her eyes suddenly turning red. ¡°Are you still angry with me?¡± She pitifully held Keyon¡¯s arm. ¡°I know I was wrong. Don¡¯t leave me¡­¡± Keyon nonchntly pulled back his arm, and his eyes were cold. ¡°What the fuck are you trying to say?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Alexa smiled, ¡°She said that thispany should belong to Irvin. I answered for you. You¡¯re wee.¡± Hearing this, Keyon instantly turned gloomy. ¡°Is that so? Where is the evidence?¡± Keyon sneered. ¡°Keyon, don¡¯t you believe me?¡± Giselle braced herself and said, ¡°The evidence has already been collected by the Niebergall family. Alexa can¡¯t hold this position for long!¡± ¡°Get out of here!¡± Keyon was so angry that his face was livid. He could not tolerate Alexa feeling uneasy. Terrence¡¯s mood was not much better, but for the sake of Giselle and Keyon having a rtionship before, he did not say anything. Alexa watched the farce in a calm andposed manner, but the next second, Giselle suddenly covered her lower abdomen and screamed. ¡°Ms. Niebergall, what happened to you?¡± Giselle¡¯s assistant immediately went forward to check on her condition, but Giselle pushed her away. She clutched Keyon¡¯s sleeve, her face pale from the pain. ¡°Keyon, my stomach hurts¡­ Can you send me to the hospital?¡± Giselle sobbed. ¡°Are you pretending again?¡± Keyon asked coldly. ¡°I didn¡¯t! I really didn¡¯t!¡± Alexa pursed his lips, somewhat unable to continue watching. ¡°Keyon.¡± She softly spoke, and Keyon frowned. Keyon silently picked up Giselle. When he touched the slimy wetness under her legs, he immediately and silently quickened his pace. ¡°Keyon, you forgive me, don¡¯t you?¡± Giselle closed her eyes with satisfaction, and a tear slowly fell from her eyes. Even though she had already fainted, she still tightly grabbed Keyon and refused to let go. They went to the hospital in a flurry. Alexa looked deeply at Terrence and sighed. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Terrence asked. Alexa looked at him quietly for a while and asked seriously. ¡°When can we go home?¡± ¡°Now,¡± Terrence answered, ¡°As long as you want, we can go home at any time.¡± Alexa believed that Terrence really had the strength to do so. However, the matter with Ice Floral Ind had not been dealt with, so she could not leave easily. Just as they continued to flip through the documents, there was a message from the hospital. ¡°Ms. Duran, Ms. Niebergall is on the roof of the building trying to jump off. Come over now!¡± ¡°What?¡± By the time Alexa and Terrence arrived at the private hospital, the situation was already a mess. Giselle stood alone on the rooftop, and it was actually full of media reporters downstairs. ¡°Where did these peoplee from?¡± Alexa looked at the assistant beside her. ¡°Ms. Duran, they were brought here by Ms. Niebergall. They were here when Ms. Niebergall started screaming that she was going to jump,¡± The assistant exined, trembling. ¡°Cut off all thework signals around,¡± Terrence coldly ordered, ¡°Delete all photos and videos taken by these people.¡± Edwin was very effective, and he took people into action in a few seconds. On the rooftop, Keyon was still in a deadlock with Giselle. ¡°Don¡¯t do this. You have to listen to the doctor.¡± ¡°Keyon, do you also want me to abort this child? But it already has a heartbeat¡­¡± Giselle was on the verge of copse. ¡°The doctor is doing this for your own good. If you don¡¯t stop the pregnancy in time, you will also die.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t believe it! They are lying to you. Keyon, they are all lying to you!¡± There were no emotions in Keyon¡¯s eyes when he looked at her, and he didn¡¯t have much patience left. ¡°Be good. Come over.¡± At this moment, Alexa and Terrence appeared. The moment Giselle saw Alexa, she suddenly burst out with monstrous hostility. ¡°Alexa, what are you doing here? Your own child is gone! Do you still want to kill my child?¡± ¡°Giselle.¡± Terrence secretly warned, the coldness in his eyes as sharp as a knife. Alexa was not angry. She took two steps closer to Giselle and fearlessly met her red eyes. ¡°Giselle, don¡¯t you think you are pathetic?¡± ¡°Am I pathetic? I have a better family background and appearance than you!¡± ¡°Is that so? Then what are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I will say that you have been living for others until now?¡± Alexa bluntly said. ¡°Shut up! You shut up! Bitch!¡± ¡°What did Irvin say to you that you would not hesitate to have someone else¡¯s child threaten my brother?¡± This was the thing that Giselle could not ept the most. ¡°You lied!¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯m lying.¡± Alexa smiled. ¡°Then do you dare to do amniocentesis? Or do you dare to do a DNA test with Irvin?¡± Chapter 360 Chapter 360 Chapter 360 The Battle Between Wives of Brothers ¡°Alexa, stop threatening me!¡± ¡°You know very well whether I am threatening you or not.¡± Alexa looked at Giselle. She was actually very sympathetic to Giselle. ¡°No matter what, you should not risk your life.¡± ¡°You are a short-lived woman, so how can you teach me how to do things?¡± In an instant, the air froze. Terrence¡¯s hands, hanging by his side, clenched into fists, and his patience had run out. ¡°Giselle, do you know what you are talking about?¡± ¡°Does Mr. Ramsey feel sorry for her? Then take her home and protect her well.Don¡¯t let her out to torture others.¡± Giselle sneered. ¡°What you have done today is enough to bankrupt the Niebergall Group. I will do what I say,¡± Terrence said coldly. ¡°That¡¯s enough!¡± Giselle suddenly lost control of her emotions and took a step back. A sharp, cold wind suddenly blew at her. She instantly lost her bnce and was on the verge of falling down. ¡°Help¡­¡± Giselle slipped, and her body immediately fell down. Almost at the same time, Keyon and Terrence stepped forward at the same time and grabbed her wrist from the left and right. Alexa was so scared that her face turned pale, and then she breathed a sigh of relief in shock. Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. They pulled Giselle up, and Giselle had already been unconscious. Terrence didn¡¯t say anything and let Keyon take Giselle away. Alexa went up to check on Terrence¡¯s situation first. His arm was scratched by the rough concrete floor with a shocking bloody mark. ¡°I¡¯ll take you to a bandage,¡± Alexa said nervously. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Terrence nonchntly raised his hand to wipe away the blood on his arm, revealing a rxed smile to Alexa. ¡°Were you scared?¡± ¡°Of course. Let¡¯s go down and take a look,¡± Alexa muttered. Giselle had already been sent to the operating room, but without a family signature, the doctor did not dare to operate on her rashly. Helpless, Keyon had no choice but to go to Irvin¡¯s ward. Irvin had lost a lot of weight during this time, and there was still a faint palm print on Irvin¡¯s face. Alexa had been ruthless at that time. ¡°Your sister is in critical condition. She needs immediate surgery.¡± Keyon put the informed consent form in front of Irvin and gave him a concise exnation of the situation. ¡°Sign it if there are no problems.¡± Hearing this, Irvin remained silent and did not have the slightest intention of signing the paper. ¡°Is there a problem?¡± ¡°Keyon, for you, she has already fallen out with the Niebergall family. They will not care about her anymore.¡± Irvin sneered. ¡°What did you say?¡± ¡°If you really want to save her, marry her. She has given you everything. Don¡¯t tell me you still don¡¯t know,¡± Irvin said casually. Keyon pursed his thin lips, clearly enduring a great deal of anger. ¡°Your family are all scum.¡± ¡°You make it sound as if you are noble.¡± Irvin retorted, and then he stopped talking. From the beginning to the end, he did not look at the paper on the table. The nurse called several times to urge. Keyon could not bear it and could only reply, ¡°Let them start the operation. Be sure to keep her life. I will bear the consequences!¡± After that, he red at Irvin with an angry expression and quickly left the ward. At this time, Terrence had just finished treating the wound with Alexa, and the two of them returned to the corridor together. Hearing that Keyon had already signed the informed consent form as a family member, Alexa understood what Keyon meant. ¡°Keyon.¡± Alexa called out softly, immediately pulling back Keyon¡¯s thoughts. ¡°You guys are here. Sit.¡± Keyon¡¯s eyes were filled with exhaustion. ¡°Have you already decided?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Keyon nodded and did not choose to escape. ¡°I can¡¯t just watch her die.¡± Moreover, Keyon did not have anyone he liked. Keyon did not let anyone down when he married Giselle. ¡°Does Mom know?¡± ¡°No.¡± Keyon shook his head. ¡°I n to tell her after the operation is over.¡± Due to the signs of premature abortion and the weak body, Giselle¡¯s child was ultimately unable to be preserved. However, the operation was very sessful, and she was not in any great danger. Keyon had been in the ward the entire time, so he entrusted Alexa to exin the situation to Christina. However, just as the two left the hospital, Edwin hurriedly ran over and handed over his phone. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, some negative news suddenly appeared on the Inte¡­¡± Terrence nced at the screen, and his face instantly became gloomy. Before he could make a sound, Alexa took the phone in surprise. ¡°The Battle Between Wives of Brothers. Mrs. Ramsey Actually Forces Her Brother¡¯s Wife to Jump off a Building!¡± There was countless news like this, but thements were all supporting Giselle. For a time, Alexa became the target of all. She calmly flipped through the information and chuckled. ¡°Are they all ming this on me?¡± Terrence took the phone away and said a few words to Edwin in a cold tone. ¡°Clean these things up.¡± ¡°Yes, Mr. Ramsey.¡± ¡°Was it done by the Niebergall family? But weren¡¯t those people driven away just now?¡± Alexa asked calmly. Terrence hugged her tightly, looking not in a good mood. ¡°I will investigate it as soon as possible. I will definitely not let go of the mastermind.¡± ¡°Actually, it doesn¡¯t matter. These things can¡¯t hurt me at all.¡± Alexa shrugged nonchntly. She had almost died several times. Nothing else mattered except life and death. Alexa and Terrence returned to their home. By the time she picked up her phone and searched for the messages, most of the news had been cleared. There were still new posts. There were even so-called ¡°insiders¡± who began to dig deep into her experience, saying that she was a ruthless and scheming material girl. Alexa smiled and did not take these words to heart. However, Terrence seemed to have been very busy all this time. After entering the study, he did not come out for a long time. Chapter 361 Chapter 361 Chapter 361 He Is Actually Quite Ambitious Terrence had never told her about these things, so after ra told her about the recent situation in New York, Alexa was stunned for a while before she understood everything clearly. ¡°I have never heard of Rayan before.¡± Alexa¡¯s thought was a mess. ¡°He has been studying art abroad. I heard that he was not interested in the family business. I don¡¯t know why he suddenly has something to do with the board of directors recently.¡± In the end, ra suddenly remembered something. ¡°Right, Kieran met him once in France.¡± ra said worriedly, ¡°Kieran said that although Rayan pretended to be an idle person, he is actually quite ambitious.¡± Hearing this, Alexa became more and more worried. Terrence always just told her the good news and hid the bad. Even if the end of the world came, he would not mention a single word to her. Because of this, Alexa was even more worried. ¡°ra, thank you. I will talk to him,¡± Alexa said sincerely. After she hung up the phone, Terrence pushed open the door and entered the room. Alexa felt a little guilty for some reason. She wanted to ask something, but she did not in the end. However, Terrence noticed her abnormality immediately. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you not feeling well?¡± he asked as he pinched her face affectionately. ¡°No.¡± Alexa leaned into his arms and clung to Terrence¡¯s neck. ¡°Why don¡¯t we go back to New York?¡± ¡°You haven¡¯t fully recovered yet. Why are you suddenly thinking of going back?¡± Terrence¡¯s gaze became much more serious. He clearly had been aware of something. ¡°Did Edwin tell you anything?¡± ¡°No.¡± Alexa met his gaze.She asked with a deeper meaning, ¡°Besides, what can he tell me?¡± Terrence was very clear about how smart his little girl was. Therefore, he did not think that what happened in New York could be hidden from her. ¡°Is it something about Rayan?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa nodded calmly, not intending to hide anything. ¡°Their target is Hudson Group, so I am very worried about you.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. He is not worth mentioning.¡± Terrence did not take Rayan seriously. Many branches coveted Hudson Group, but none of them had seeded in all these years. His methods of dealing with outsiders had always been ruthless. But Alexa was careful and always felt that this matter was not so simple. ¡°I¡¯m fine now. It will be fine to go back, and the evidence is almost collected,¡± she said resolutely. She also didn¡¯t worry about her mother since Henry was taking care of her. ¡°You don¡¯t have to force yourself. I can handle those things. No need to rush,¡± Terrence said in a rxed tone. He kissed her forehead. But just as he finished speaking, the phone on the bedside table rang again. This time, Terrence hung up the phone directly. ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. Go to sleep.¡± He was still very gentle in front of Alexa. Alexa still wanted to say something, but Terrence turned off the lights and silently forced her to stop talking. That night, neither of them fell asleep. The next day, when Alexa woke up, Terrence was already gone. Keyon said that Terrence left in a hurry and should be going to deal with the matters in New York. Alexa expressed her understanding, but she became more and more worried. Terrence had something to hide from her, which was what she did not want to see the most. Christina told her, ¡°If you are worried about him, you can go back to New York. I will ask Finley to go with you. If there is anything, remember to tell me in time.¡± ¡°Mom¡­¡± ¡°Damarion hasn¡¯t seen you for so long. He must be missing you so much. ¡°If you want to go, I will arrange the ne now.¡± Alexa had decided to go back. N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. But she did not call Terrence in advance. He should be quite busy now. Alexa did not want to distract him. When the Duran family¡¯s private ne slowlynded in New York, it was already getting dark. Finley was still recovering, so Alexa asked her assistant to send him back to the vi first. ¡°What about you?¡± ¡°I n to make a trip back to the Ramsey¡¯s home first.¡± Alexa already couldn¡¯t wait to give Damarion a surprise. However, before her surprise could be realized, someone had already given her a ¡°surprise¡±. Alexa and Finley had just walked out of the waiting room when the assistant hurriedly stopped them. ¡°Ms. Duran, the door is suddenly blocked by a lot of media. I¡¯m afraid we can¡¯t leave from there.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°Come with me.¡± Finley grabbed her wrist calmly and took Alexa to the underground garage. In less than three minutes after they left, arge number of people immediately rushed over. Not only the media but also many emotional people were shouting at Alexa. The bodyguards of the Duran family could not stop so many people. As if someone deliberately took the lead, the originally disorderly crowd suddenly ran to the underground garage tacitly. ¡°What the hell is going on?¡± ¡°Ms. Duran, I have sent people to send you back to the vi immediately. Don¡¯t go out for the time being,¡± the assistant said nervously. Their car drove away from the airport in a hurry. Alexa looked at the fanatical crowd through the rearview mirror and was speechless for a moment. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid,¡± Finley whispered beside her. The injuries on his body had not fully recovered, and he had lost a lot of weight, making him look even colder. Finley¡¯s voice was not loud, but it gave her an inexplicable sense of security. Alexa silently nodded, but there was a sense of fear in her heart.She hoped that Damarion was fine¡­ She silently prayed in her heart and sighed heavily. Alexa felt motion sickness, so she got out of the car two blocks away from home. There was almost no one in this area at night, so she could take a break for the time being. ¡°Shall I apany you for a stroll? You don¡¯t seem to be in a good mood,¡± Finley said seriously. ¡°Maybe it was too stuffy.¡± The two suddenly quieted down. Neither of them spoke. They only quietly walked along the coastal road. A few fierce-looking men suddenly came over. Finley subconsciously raised his hand to pull Alexa over to protect her. The atmosphere was inexplicably quiet for a moment. Alexa suddenly realized something. The bodyguards who should have followed them in the dark to protect them were now nowhere to be found. A chill suddenly ran up her spine, spreading all over her body. The men did not speak, but they maliciously got closer to them. ¡°What do you want?¡± Finley shouted in a low voice. ¡°Heh, what do we want?¡± The man in the lead snorted coldly. He said with a sinister smile, ¡°Don¡¯t you know that you have offended someone? Beat them up! Take this woman!¡± The man gave the order and the people behind him attacked without any exnation. Finley reacted quickly and knocked down a few thugs who rushed to them. However, he had to protect Alexa while dealing with them. It was difficult. ¡°Be careful!¡± Alexa¡¯s face changed. But it was toote. A steel pipe as thick as a wrist smashed heavily on Finley¡¯s back. Chapter 362 Chapter 362 Chapter 362 I Like This Type Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, the group left the steel pipe and ran away. Alexa quickly helped Finley up, but he staggered a few steps and did not stand firm. ¡°I¡¯m fine,¡± he said, trying to be brave. Alexa held his back, but she touched something warm and sticky. ¡°You¡¯re bleeding. We have to hurry to the hospital.¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m fine!¡± Finley pulled her towards the vi. ¡°There are people targeting you right now. Go back first. Don¡¯t go to public ces.¡± Although he was injured, Finley held her tightly. Alexa could do nothing about him, so she had to follow Finley back. When they got home, she found the medicine chest. Finley was worried that she would be afraid, so he kept emphasizing that he was fine. But when Alexa carefully cut open his shirt, she was still frightened by the wound on Finley¡¯s back. There was a sharp hook hidden on the specially-made steel pipe, not to mention that it had hit him with such a strong force. Finley¡¯s condition was serious. ¡°No big deal. It¡¯s just a superficial wound.¡± ¡°How is this a superficial wound?¡± Alexa felt so sorry for him. Her hand, which had been applying medicine to him, was shaking. ¡°I¡¯m really fine. Fortunately, they didn¡¯t hurt you,¡± Finley said with a rxed smile. Alexa¡¯s face sank. ¡°I will tell my brother about the situation tonight. No matter who¡¯s behind this, I will definitely find him!¡± After bandaging Finley, Alexa asked the servant to take him to the guest room to rest. She walked to the balcony and held her phone, lingering for a long time. But in the end, Alexa still did not call Terrence. ording to ra, the Hudson Group¡¯s recent situation was a little tricky, and he was definitely busy right now. After thinking about it, Alexa returned to her room in a mess. At this time, Terrence had just finished his dinner. He saw the so-called Rayan and met him in a meal that seemed harmonious on the surface but was actually turbulent. Rayan had a warm expression on his face, and he always wore a warm smile. Compared to Terrence¡¯s gloomy and cold look, Rayan indeed looked gentle and kind. Of course, it was more convenient to win people¡¯s hearts with Rayan¡¯s innocent appearance. Terrence was not interested in Rayan¡¯s tricks and left on his own after dinner. However, Rayan caught up with him and greeted him with a smile.

However, Rayan did not mind being enthusiastic and talking with Terrence actively. ¡°I¡¯ll visit her myself another day.¡± Terrence refused indifferently, ¡°No, thanks. I don¡¯t want her toe into contact with strangers.¡± ¡°Terrence, you don¡¯t have to be so hostile to me.¡± Rayan smiled and lowered his voice. ¡°I¡¯m not interested in business. It¡¯s the board of directors who want to mess with you.¡± This time, Terrence simply ignored him and went straight to the garage.He was in a bad mood tonight and always felt a little restless. However, just as Terrence got into the car, a pretty figure suddenly scuttled to the side of the car. Edwin immediately stepped on the brake. The car almost hit that figure. However, the woman outside the car mmed the window. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, it¡¯s Ms. Crompton.¡± Edwin had seen her at the banquet just now. She was Rayan¡¯s girlfriend.He lowered the window a little, and Thalia could not wait to get close. She knocked on the body of the car. ¡°Mr. Ramsey. Can you send me back?¡± If it was any other time, Terrence would not have bothered with such ridiculous nonsense. But the woman was Rosse¡¯s granddaughter. For the sake of Rosse, he couldn¡¯t refuse Thalia so quickly. ¡°Where is Rayan?¡± ¡°He is busy.¡± Thalia tidied up the clothes on her body. But the design of her skirt was too bold, and even a little movement could make people see her chest. But Terrence never looked at her and did not want to. It was really strange. Thalia silently puffed out her chest, her proud eyes lingering on Terrence¡¯s cold side face for a second. How could there be a man who would not like this style? ¡°Mr. Ramsey, can I?¡± she softened her voice. ¡°Edwin, arrange a car for her.¡± Terrence gave the order, but the next second, the car window closed tightly. Under Thalia¡¯s astonished expression, the car drove far away in the blink of an eye. ¡°Hey¡­ hey!¡± She had never been rejected by a man in her entire life. ¡°He never knows how to take care of a woman, does he?¡± Thalia pouted indignantly. A Bugatti Veyron stopped right in front of her. The car window rolled down, and Rayan¡¯s expression was as cold as ice. ¡°You even dare to provoke Terrence?¡± he said coldly. Although he was very dissatisfied with Thalia¡¯s actions, Rayan did not say much. Thalia did not feel guilty at all and opened the door to get in the car. ¡°Are you jealous? Don¡¯t worry. I have no interest in him for the time being, but I might change my mind in the future,¡± she said frivolously. She took out her lipstick to fix her makeup. ¡°He¡¯s mature. I like that very much. But it¡¯s just that he¡¯s cold.¡± ¡°Thalia!¡± Rayan gritted his teeth as he spoke. It was obvious that he could not take it anymore. ¡°Can you stop fooling around with other men? I¡¯m your boyfriend!¡± ¡°I know. But you are only with me because my dad promised to help you, right?¡± Thalia said lightly. Thalia said evenly, but her eyes were very clear. ¡°Terrence is not an ordinary man. He is not so easy to deal with.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have to care so much. This is my business,¡± Rayan said with a long face. Thalia pursed her lips and didn¡¯t want to say more. At this time, Terrence had returned home. Damarion had not slept yet, and the moment he saw Terrence, he mored to find his mother. No matter how Terrence coaxed him, Damarion refused to stop. ¡°Call my mommy,¡± Damarion said stubbornly. Terrence patiently exined, ¡°Baby, it¡¯s already veryte. Mom has already rested. Shall we call her tomorrow?¡± Damarion pouted angrily. ¡°No. I know you are lying.¡± ¡°Damarion.¡± Seeing Terrence frown, Damarion knew that he was getting serious. Damarion had no choice but to shut up, but there were tears in the corners of his eyes, looking very aggrieved. Terrence was also distressed. He wanted to bring Alexa back as soon as possible. But now that the situation in New York wasplicated. Perhaps it would be safer for her to stay on Ice Floral Ind. Damarion grabbed him and refused to let go. Terrence was very patient to coax the child to sleep. Even when Edwin came to report the situation, Terrence was still holding Damarion. Terrence seldom showed the way of being a father. Edwin was so shocked that he did not dare to look up at Terrence. Edwin deliberately lowered his voice. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, we have already found out. Rayan sent people to release all the news on the Inte.¡± ¡°OK.¡± Terrence sneered, a dark shadow covering his face. ¡°Damn it!¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, he has already sent an invitation to the banquet tomorrow night.¡± And at this time, Alexa also received the same invitation. Chapter 363 Chapter 363 Chapter 363 Terrence Is Afraid of His Wife Alexa told Finley about this matter. Finley saw a silent smile on her face and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. ¡°You want to go?¡± ¡°He sincerely invited me. Why shouldn¡¯t I go?¡± Alexa yed with the invitation card, smiling, but her eyes didn¡¯t reveal any emotions. ¡°I¡¯m afraid he is noting with good intentions.¡± ¡°I am not a good person either.¡± ¡°Be careful. I¡¯ll go with you,¡± Finley said. ¡°You should rest well at home. I can handle it. Nothing big deal.¡± After Alexa said that, she asked her assistant to prepare a dress for her. It seemed that Rayan already knew that Alexa had arrived in New York. Otherwise, the invitation would not have been sent to her. Alexa was suddenly very curious about what Terrence would look like when he saw her. The next night, she went to the appointment on time. The assistant prepared a ssic ck dress for her. Alexa¡¯s skin was fair enough, and the strong color vividly outlined her cold temperament. Because the ointment that Christina gave her was specially made, the wound on Alexa¡¯s chest was already healed. There was no difference from normal skin. The design of this dress was slightly bold, and the deep V-cut perfectly outlined her charming lines. Alexa elegantly fixed her lipstick in the mirror, and the corners of her mouth curved up slightly, revealing a determined smile. This so-called fame and wealth banquet was only the ce where she and her loved one reunited. Alexa went there only for Terrence. ¡°Ms. Duran, the car is ready,¡± the assistant said. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Alexa held up her skirt gracefully, her figure swaying. For the past three years, this was the first time she had dressed up like this. Tonight, there were many big shots in the venue. With the help of the Crompton family, Rayan almost invited all the distinguished guests in the circle. The meaning could not be more obvious. He was in such a hurry to gain connections. He aimed to be the president of the Hudson Group. When Alexa came to the scene, she was thest one. When she appeared on the red carpet, she instantly attracted all the cameras on the scene. She was elegant and gorgeous, like a fairy. Every time Alexa showed up, it would cause a big sensation. However, she hade alone and did not have a malepanion with her. This also caused people¡¯s curiosity. However, Alexa did not respond in a hurry. Instead, she leisurely walked to the hall. The gazes of those men had long been locked on her. Alexa¡¯s figure was graceful and delicate. Now, there was a touch of mature charm. She was in her best state. But when they saw the jewelry on her body, those who were eyeing her covetously instantly guessed that her background was not that easy. Therefore, this stunning flower, Alexa, was still in the focus of the crowd, and no one dared toe forward to strike up a conversation. At this moment, Terrence was in the VIP room on the second floor. In front of him were all the ¡°old foxes¡± in the business field, and the conversation was full of traps. Terrence¡¯s aura had always been very oppressive, and he obviously did not have much patience for this group of people in front of him. ¡°Mr. Ramsey.¡± A sweet female voice sounded, which eased the tension of the scene. When the group of old bastards saw the woman in front of them, they all smiled even more fawningly. Thalia let the waiter behind her serve the champagne and then sat down next to Terrence without any reservations, sticking to his arm like a well- behaved little girl. ¡°Rayan asked me to invite everyone downstairs. The banquet is about to start.¡± Everyone nodded in response and politely asked Terrence to leave first. His expression did not change, and when he got up, he pushed away the hand that Thalia had ced on his body. Thalia did not mind. She instead kept moving closer to him. ¡°You don¡¯t like me?¡± Terrence walked forward without looking back and did not pay attention to her words. ¡°Don¡¯t misunderstand. I¡¯m talking about the kind of love you have for family.¡± ¡°Ms. Crompton, don¡¯t tter yourself. I barely knew you before, and there is no need to know you in the future.¡± ¡°But I will marry Rayan in the future, and we will be a family sooner orter.¡± ¡°He is not me.¡± Thalia nodded in agreement. ¡°Oh! Are you afraid that Mrs. Ramsey will misunderstand? I didn¡¯t expect that Mr. Ramsey would be afraid of your wife.¡± ¡°It has nothing to do with you.¡± However, he did not refute it. Thalia¡¯s smile deepened, and she became more and more interested in him. Before Terrencepletely lost his patience and got angry, Thalia walked away in time. She knew where Alexa was. At this time, Alexa had already walked to the rest area outside the crowd and was tasting the champagne on her own. ¡°Hello.¡± Hearing the girl¡¯s voice, Alexa turned around curiously. ¡°Oh, hello,¡± Alexa greeted her politely. ¡°Miss, you are so beautiful.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Thalia saw Alexa¡¯s dress and said bluntly. ¡°Our style is really simr. Is it fated? My name is Thalia.¡± ¡°I¡¯m Alexa.¡± Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Hearing Thalia say this, Alexa noticed that Thalia¡¯s dress was also a deep-V style. However,pared to Alexa¡¯s maturity, Thalia was livelier, like a little girl. ¡°I just went to flirt with a handsome guy, but he doesn¡¯t seem to like me very much. What should I do?¡± Thalia sighed sadly. Alexa didn¡¯t want to meddle in these affairs, but Thalia talked to herself very vigorously. ¡°Here, it¡¯s the one over there.¡± Alexa followed her gaze, and the polite smile on her face stopped. Through the crowd, Terrence obviously did not notice Alexa looking at him. Of course, he would not know that Alexa also attended the banquet tonight. She gently curved her lips and let Thalia continue. ¡°Then what did he say?¡± Alexa asked curiously. ¡°Him? He didn¡¯t explicitly reject me. Do you think I still have a chance?¡± Thalia smiled. Alexa nodded. ¡°I guess so. Maybe he likes your style.¡± ¡°I think so too.¡± Hearing Thalia agree with great confidence, Alexa did not change her expression, and her thick eyshes gently fluttered. ¡°Don¡¯t all men like younger women?¡± Thalia said proudly. ¡°Maybe,¡± Alexa replied ambiguously. After chatting for a while, Thalia took the opportunity to leave. Alexa stood in the dark and stared at Terrence. After a while, Thalia appeared next to him. They seemed to be talking about something. In short, Terrence was not as indifferent as he usually treated strangers. Alexa¡¯s eyes became much colder. She put the champagne in her hand to the side. She then lifted her dress and quietly approached him. Thalia nced at Alexa from the corner of her eyes. Thalia prepared enough. She randomly found an excuse and left Terrence without trace. Just as he was in a fog, a familiar but cold voice suddenly sounded from behind him. ¡°It seems that I came at the wrong time. Sorry to disturb Mr. Ramsey and that youngdy.¡± Terrence was stunned for a moment and turned to see the person in front of him. The surprise in his eyes quickly turned gray. Chapter 364 Chapter 364 Chapter 364 Why Are You Getting Angry? ¡°Why are you here?¡± Terrence frowned and looked very serious. Seeing the peopleing not far away, Terrence could not wait to take a step forward and take Alexa away from there. However, she was one step ahead of Terrence to avoid his touch. ¡°I don¡¯t want to go with you right now.¡± She clearly saw a sh of resistance in Terrence¡¯s eyes just now. What did that mean? Thinking of Thalia¡¯s words just now, Alexa was even more ufortable. Terrence looked like he was deliberately hiding something in his mind. ¡°Youe with me first.¡± Terrence¡¯s expression still showed no signs of easing up. ¡°This is not a ce you shoulde to.¡± ¡°Is that so? I received an invitation. Why can¡¯t Ie?¡± Alexa said with a little bit of anger. At this moment, Rayan had already approached. ¡°Hello, Mrs. Ramsey.¡± Hearing this cool and gentle voice, Alexa turned to look at him curiously. Terrence had originally grabbed her hand and also moved it to Alexa¡¯s shoulder, pulling her into his arms. Alexa was in a fit of anger, and she hid without a trace. ¡°My name is Rayan. Nice to meet you,¡± the man in front of her said politely. Hearing this name, the smile in Alexa¡¯s eyes became even more subtle. She smiled generously, ¡°So you are Mr. Biddell. No wonder the elders often mention you. Seeing you today, I admit that you are indeed young and promising.¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, you¡¯re ttering me.¡± Rayan¡¯s gaze fell on Alexa. ¡°There are many celebrities present at tonight¡¯s banquet. If you¡¯re interested, I can introduce them to you.¡± ¡°You¡¯re such a busy person. How can I bother you? But, if Mr. Biddell wants to know the shareholders of the Hudson Group, you don¡¯t have to take so many detours. Terrence and I can introduce them to you,¡± Alexa said in a graceful manner. As soon as Alexa finished her words, Rayan felt so embarrassed.But Alexa was in a bad mood tonight and did not intend to let him go so easily. ¡°Mr. Biddell, you don¡¯t have to plot against me behind my back. If you have any tricks, show me. We are familiar with that.¡± ¡°Terrence, Mrs. Ramsey must have misunderstood something. I know you are not interested in the Hudson Group,¡± Rayan said with a polite smile. ¡°The Hudson Group is in my hand, and it has nothing to do with whether I am interested or not.¡± Hearing those words, Rayan felt a little awkward.He casually said a few words and left. Just now, Rayan was rude to Alexa, which made Terrence very unhappy. When they stood here, the gazes around them were even more malicious as they wandered around Alexa. He really wanted to dig out the eyes of those people. Sensing that Terrence¡¯s gaze fell on her skirt, Alexa deliberately straightened her waist and rubbed her soft body against his arm. ¡°Is it good?¡± In Terrence¡¯s dark eyes, there was a faint me dancing. He could no longer bear it. He directly grabbed Alexa by the wrist and took her to the backyard. There was no one here, and the lights were dimmed. Alexa had just stood still when Terrence pushed her to the corner of the wall. ¡°Why did you suddenlye back? Why didn¡¯t you tell me?¡± Before Alexa could ask him about Thalia, Terrence questioned her like this. She was angry and aggrieved in her heart, and her eyes turned red. ¡°What? Can¡¯t Ie back? Did I dy you from having sex with other women?¡± ¡°What other woman? Who?¡± Terrence gritted his teeth. ¡°Who? The one who just came to please you.¡± Alexa did not want to look at him. ¡°She hade to me to ask how she could get you. What do you think, Mr. Ramsey?¡± she asked, pretending to be rxed. ¡°What are you talking about? I have nothing to do with her.¡± ¡°What are you hiding? I haven¡¯t asked anything yet.¡± ¡°Alexa.¡± His tone seemed to be covered in ice. ¡°Oh, good, very good.¡± Alexa nodded, but she still had a mocking smile. ¡°You¡¯re starting to yell at me, aren¡¯t you?¡± Hearing this, Terrence instantly panicked. ¡°I didn¡¯t. I didn¡¯t mean it that way.¡± His imposing manner immediately weakened, and the questions he wanted to ask at the beginning were thrown to the back of his mind. Terrence tried to please her by pulling her hand, but Alexa shed away. ¡°You can talk andugh with other women. Then I¡¯ll go find another man to chat with now!¡± ¡°Come back!¡± Terrence grabbed her shoulder and directly held Alexa¡¯s jaw, kissing her bright and beautiful lips. The lipstick Alexa used today had a touch of clear and sweet fragrance, and he wanted to deepen the kiss. She was still angry and tried her best to push him away. But the punishment of this kiss gradually dissipated and was reced by a lingering love¡­ Alexa gradually gave up resisting and responded to him cooperatively. It was not until Terrence caressed her lower back that Alexa instantly regained her senses and pped him on the hand. ¡°Behave yourself!¡± Terrence did not have the slightest awareness of being caught on the spot, but he was instead very confident. Terrence then warned, ¡°This dress is very beautiful. But you can only wear it at home.¡± ¡°Beautiful dress should be worn, otherwise how can others see it?¡± Alexa said with a smile. Each word was enough to make Terrence angry. ¡°There are many mening to ask me for my number tonight.¡± Terrence¡¯s expression became colder. ¡°Oh? Is there anyone you like? Take me to get to know him?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to tell you.¡± After Alexa said this, she still wanted to go back to the banquet. However, Terrence directly took off his coat and wrapped her up tightly. Then, he swiftly picked her up and left through the back door. ¡°Terrence, what are you doing? Put me down!¡± ¡°You still want to go back? Who are you going to see?¡± ¡°It¡¯s none of your business! I want to see Rayan.¡± Alexa struggled. ¡°No.¡± Terrence¡¯s face was gloomy to the extreme. ¡°What right do you have to restrict my freedom!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go home first and talk about what happened tonight.¡± Alexa could feel that Terrence was trying his best to restrain his anger, but she did not care why he was angry. Was he not happy to see her? Thinking of this, Alexa could no longer control her emotions, and tears flowed out of her eyes. ¡°Terrence, you think I¡¯m troublesome, right?¡± ¡°No.¡± ¡°If you think I¡¯m troublesome, I¡¯ll go back to Ice Floral Ind right now.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t say you were trouble.¡± ¡°Then why are you getting angry!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Terrence stuffed her into the back seat and then bent down to get in the car. The atmosphere in the car instantly became silent. Terrence handed over a handkerchief, wanting to wipe away Alexa¡¯s tears. Content held by N?velDrama.Org. However, she avoided it without any exnation and stubbornly raised her hand to wipe her face. ¡°I indeed do not wish you toe back. As you can see, it¡¯s not easy to get rid of Rayan,¡± Terrence said coldly. Chapter 365 Chapter 365 Chapter 365 Why Didn¡¯t You Look at Me? ¡°Before the matter is resolved, I do not want you to be involved.¡± After that, Edwin reported. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Rayan went to meet several major shareholders.¡± ¡°Got it.¡± Terrence rubbed between his eyebrows and didn¡¯t brood over this matter. But Alexa felt apologetic. If she had not disturbed the situation, perhaps she would not have messed with Terrence¡¯s n. Her dominance instantly faded, but when she met Terrence¡¯s tense face, Alexa suddenly did not dare to speak. This atmosphere continued until the car stopped at the door of the old house. No one knew that Alexa woulde back. So, when she and Terrence showed up at the door, the housekeeper could no longer care about his elegant image and ran straight into the room. ¡°Mr. and Mrs. Ramsey, Alexa, and Terrence are back together!¡± the butler eximed. Just as the butler finished speaking, Alexa heard a call. ¡°Mommy!¡± When Alexa heard Damarion¡¯s voice, her eyes immediately turned red. She crouched down and opened her arms to meet the boy who was running toward her. It had only been a short time since theyst met, but Damarion had grown a lot taller. Rebekah and Jason followed closely behind. Alexa calmed down and greeted the couple. ¡°Mr. and Mrs. Ramsey.¡± ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re back!¡± Rebekah held Alexa in her arms with heartache The two women were crying hard. Seeing his grandmother and mother crying, Damarion curled his lips, and tears welled up in his eyes. Jason hugged Damarion andforted him. ¡°Damarion, your mommy is back. Are you happy?¡± ¡°I am.¡± Damarion nodded seriously. ¡°If you are happy, go to your mom and make her happy, okay?¡± After being reminded by Jason, Damarion stopped crying and threw himself into Alexa¡¯s arms. When Elena held her son in her arms, she thought of the baby who had not been born. If everything went well, the baby would have been more than five months old and hade into a human shape. Alexa¡¯s eyes were red, and her thoughts drifted. At this time, a cup of warm milk was handed to her. Alexa hesitated for a moment and took it. Terrence squatted down and said a few words to Damarion, then let the nanny carry Damarion back to his room. When Rebekah saw this, she left with Jason. In the huge living room, only Alexa and Terrence were left. Alexa sipped the milk and did not dare to look at Terrence. His coat was still wrapped around her, and there was his scent on it. Alexa did not cry anymore, but her eyes were still red. Terrence sat patiently away, staring at her as she finished the milk. ¡°Are you feeling better?¡± he asked. ¡°Hmm¡­¡± ¡°Tomorrow, we will move back to Duckdale Vi.¡± Terrence methodically arranged everything. ¡°Damarion will go back with us.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± After a moment of silence, Alexa asked cautiously. ¡°Are you still angry with me?¡± ¡°No,¡± Terrence answered without thinking. ¡°You are angry, aren¡¯t you?¡± ¡°No.¡± His tone was certain. It wasn¡¯t until Alexa put down the cup that Terrence got up to hold her hand and brought her back to the room without a word. At this moment, Alexa actually had a hint of nervousness that only appeared on her wedding night. While she was distracted, Terrence found a sleeping robe from the wardrobe and handed them to her. ¡°Go take a shower.¡± He tugged at his cor and pursed his lips hard. After Alexa took the robe, she quickly went to the bathroom. Her wounds left no mark on her body. She looked as if she had been reborn. Alexa did not know what her current situation was, but after Christina¡¯s treatment, she was not as sick as she had been. After taking a shower, Alexa deliberately tied her robe loosely. Her lithe and graceful figure was hidden under the smooth silk, swaying. Terrence was sitting on the sofa flipping through a book. Alexa boldly sat on hisp and kissed his Adam¡¯s apple. She could feel that Terrence instantly tensed up. ¡°Why?¡± His sexy voice was a little hoarse. No men could withstand Alexa¡¯s seduction. She then kissed him on the lips while exhaling good- smelling breaths. ¡°Don¡¯t be angry, okay?¡± ¡°I told you I am not angry.¡± Terrence held Alexa¡¯s waist and stopped her from moving. ¡°But you can¡¯t do it again.¡± ¡°Okay, I promise.¡± Terrence sighed resignedly. He wanted Alexa to get off, but he found that she had no intention of letting go. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, sex can be worth a great fortune.¡± Alexa stretched out her index finger and moved it down his chest, and finally, she hooked his tie. With a skillful tug, Terrence was closer to Alexa. ¡°I want¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it.¡± Terrence carried Alexa back to the bed, pulled the quilt over, and tucked her in. ¡°Don¡¯t move.¡± He was on one knee on the bed, warning her, ¡°Go to sleep.¡± After that, he got up and was about to leave. Alexa stubbornly lifted the quilt and sat up. Her voice was so tender. ¡°Terrence! You are not interested in me anymore, are you?¡± Terrence was speechless. Terrence did not even dare to turn to look at her. ¡°No, don¡¯t think too much. Just go to sleep.¡± ¡°Then, why didn¡¯t you look at me?¡± He was at a loss. Terrence pinched between his eyebrows and endured it until his body tensed up. ¡°It¡¯s not the time yet. We¡¯ll talk about it after you recover.¡± Because of Alexa¡¯s health, he had been insisting on his bottom line. However, he did not expect that Alexa was much more daring than he thought. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. ¡°I don¡¯t want to cross the line now. That will hurt you, Alexa.¡± So it was because of this¡­ The sweetness in Alexa¡¯s heart was stronger than bitterness. She smiled gently and got out of bed, hugging Terrence from behind him. ¡°No.¡± She pressed her face against Terrence¡¯s back and felt his steady and strong heartbeat. ¡°I said that I would get better day by day. This is my promise to you.¡± The tension in Terrence¡¯s heart faded. This time, he did not refuse Alexa. But when Alexa got up the next morning, she was regretful. She was too impulsivest night¡­ Alexa moved a little, and a strong arm was extended to hold her waist. ¡°It¡¯s still early. Where are you going?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to see Finley. He was injured because of me that night. His wound was quite serious.¡± After Alexa finished speaking, she suddenly thought of something. ¡°I¡¯ll go to my adoptive parents¡¯ grave to pay them respect.¡± This was the first time she had said this. Once she said it, she felt ufortable. Terrence was sobered up. He sat up and kissed Alexa¡¯s left shoulder. ¡°I¡¯ll go with you,¡± Terrence said gently. ¡°After you see Finley, we¡¯ll pay respect to your parents together, okay?¡± Chapter 366 Chapter 366 Chapter 366 A One-Sided Family Even though they were only Alexa¡¯s adoptive parents, Terrence had no intention of changing his words. He knew better than anyone else how important the couple was to Alexa. Alexa and Terrence returned to the Duran¡¯s ce first. Finley woke up early. He changed into a white shirt and looked even thinner and colder. Probably not expecting Terrence to return, Finley seemed a little surprised. But soon, his eyes were filled with a touch of coldness. Only when he looked at Alexa did Finley¡¯s eyes light up. ¡°You¡¯re back?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa nodded and asked, ¡°Have you eaten breakfast? Does it still hurt? Let¡¯s go to the hospital.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Finley shook his head. ¡°You handled it wellst night. It doesn¡¯t hurt.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go to the hospital. After all, I¡¯m not a doctor.¡± ¡°You¡¯re my student,¡± Finley suddenly said. ¡°I believe you.¡± Alexa pursed her lips and subconsciously avoided Finley¡¯s gaze. ¡°Sit here for a while.¡± Alexa changed the topic. ¡°I¡¯m going to the bathroom.¡± After Alexa left, Terrence took the opportunity to sit next to Finley. The atmosphere froze for a few seconds, and in the end, Terrence spoke first. ¡°How long have you liked her? When did it start?¡± ¡°No,¡± Finley answered simply. ¡°I just treat her as a student. That¡¯s all.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not what your eyes showed.¡± As a man, Terrence could guess what Finley was thinking. Although he hid it well, he still gave himself away in the end. ¡°She is just an ordinary friend to me. That¡¯s all,¡± Finley replied expressionlessly. ¡°It¡¯s just that because of her mother, I care more about her than ordinary people.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Terrence¡¯s mood wasplicated. Why were there love rivals everywhere? ¡°What¡¯s more, didn¡¯t she already choose you?¡± Terrence was sure that this was what Finley wanted to say. N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. ¡°Love is not about firste, first served.¡± After saying that, Alexa came downstairs again. ¡°What are you talking about?¡± She asked curiously. ¡°Nothing.¡± Terrence made light of it and stood up, interlocking his fingers with Alexa¡¯s. Finley did not look at them and sipped his tea. ¡°We are going to the cemetery,¡± Alexa told Finley her n. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t run around.¡± ¡°With him by your side, I won¡¯t be worried.¡± Finley curved his lips, revealing a rare smile. ¡°Go.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s have lunch together. I¡¯ve asked David out. He is interested in your research field and hopes to cooperate with you,¡± said Terrence. ¡°Alright.¡± Finley nodded and did not refuse. Then, he got up and sent them to the door. Terrence was meticulous and noticed the change in Alexa¡¯s mood. ¡°You worried about him?¡± ¡°Of course, I¡¯m worried,¡± answered she. ¡°After all, if not for me, he wouldn¡¯t have been injured.¡± ¡°Other than worrying, is there nothing else?¡± ¡°What?¡± Alexa was stunned and did not react for a while. Realizing that Terrence was always jealous, she became serious. ¡°Don¡¯t think about it. I have no other feelings for him.¡± Terrence did notment and held Alexa¡¯s hand. ¡°I¡¯m not thinking about anything.¡± ¡°I just treat him as an elder.¡± What was more, Finley was like a serious elder to her. He was always cold. Other than medicine, he did not seem to be interested in anything else. ¡°He said that you used to be his student.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa nodded, ¡°But I can¡¯t remember. I have almost forgotten all about the past.¡± Terrence stroked Alexa¡¯s waist, and he turned the page. He did not like to talk about other men in front of Alexa. When they arrived at the cemetery, Terrence went to buy white ca lilies with Alexa. Although they had not been here for a long time, the cemetery was still clean. There were even two bunches of fresh ca lilies in front of the grave. Alexa could tell that Terrence put the flowers there with just a nce. ¡°There are cleaners taking care of the graves,¡± Terrence exined. ¡°I came here yesterday.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°They¡¯re also like my parents. Why are you thanking me?¡± Terrence devoutly presented the flowers to Alexa and then stood with her for a while. Just as they were about to leave, they saw a person that was quite unfamiliar. Rayan was dressed in a ck and white suit with a bunch of white ca lilies in his hand. Thalia was with him. Today, she was dressed like a dignified girl. After seeing them, Thalia waved and greeted them warmly. ¡°Alexa, Mr. Ramsey.¡± Alexa did not respond to her. Terrence even turned sideways to protect Alexa behind him. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Terrence wanted to drive them away with a cold face. ¡°This is not a ce for you.¡± ¡°My grandmother asked me toe here,¡± Thalia exined with a smile. ¡°Since it is Alexa¡¯s adoptive parents, then Rayan and I shoulde to pay them respect.¡± ¡°Leave.¡± Rayan turned a deaf ear to Terrence¡¯s warning. He slowly ced the white ca lilies in front of the grave and then sincerely put his palms together to mourn. Throughout the entire process, Rayan¡¯s movements were so perfect that there was not a single w, but Alexa felt ufortable. She always found Rayan a man of danger and hostility. His performance was disrespectful to her adoptive parents. ¡°Rayan, I don¡¯t know what you mean by your actions. But I advise you not to y these tricks. It¡¯s boring.¡± Alexa¡¯s eyes were cold. ¡°Why do you always think so badly of people? I told you I mean no harm,¡± Rayan saidposedly. ¡°We know very well whether you have any malice. Unfortunately, you can¡¯t outdo us.¡± Terrence sneered. ¡°It¡¯s not good for a family to make a scene like this.¡± Rayan looked a little disappointed. ¡°A family?¡± Alexa was colder than Terrence. ¡°A one-sided family?¡± She leaned over and removed the flowers Rayan had just put down. ¡°If you want to game, we will be there until the end. But you¡¯d better be able to afford to lose.¡± Alexa smiled brightly. ¡°Alexa is so fierce. Rayan, what should we do now? Alexa is angry.¡± Thalia fanned the mes. After criticizing Rayan, Alexa nced at Thalia. ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m angry. What should I do? Why don¡¯t I let you disappear from my sight?¡± Alexa smiled coldly. ¡°This is not a formal greeting. If there is a chance in the future, I will entertain you two well.¡± Rayan hid his emotions and left with Thalia. Alexa picked up the white ca lilies that she had moved away and twisted their stems. ¡°Don¡¯t be angry.¡± Terrence¡¯s tone was gentle. ¡°I will make them disappear forever as you wished.¡± Chapter 367 Chapter 367 Chapter 367 Rosse Makes Insinuating Remarks Terrence used an extremely calm tone to say such terrifying words. Alexa only lightly curved her lips and smiled at him. That bouquet of white ca lilies had been ravaged by her. In fact, Alexa also hated these intrigues, but those people were blind enough to provoke her. After returning from the cemetery, they received a dinner invitation from Rosse. Alexa did not refuse and asked Terrence to ept it. Rosse had a deep rtionship with the Ramsey family. As a junior, Terrence had to show some respect for her. The dinner was set up in Sunbeam Restaurant in New York, and Thalia and Rayan were also present. Rosse had been a strict senior. With her around, Thaliapletely restrained her ostentatious attitude. When they met, the atmosphere was inexplicably peaceful.It seemed that the scene in the cemetery just now had not happened at all. ¡°Thalia, go and invite your parents over.¡± ¡°Okay, Grandma.¡± Alexa politely sent the gift, but Rosse only nced at it indifferently and then asked the servant to take it. Before Alexa could speak, Terrence pulled her closer and introduced her to Rosse voluntarily. ¡°This is my wife, Alexa.¡± ¡°Yes, I know.¡± Rosse nodded perfunctorily and sized Alexa up as if she was looking at amodity. ¡°I can sense illness in her body. I¡¯m afraid she can¡¯t give birth to any children.¡± Alexa saw the disgust in Rosse¡¯s eyes, but she did not take it to heart. However, Alexa sensed the change in Terrence¡¯s aura. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about it.¡± Terrence gave a fake smile, ¡°I haven¡¯t seen you for a long time. How are you? I heard that you just had an operation some time ago. After all, you are an olddy now. You have to take extra care.¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Rosse nodded and impatiently pushed Rayan out. ¡°You two should have a good chat.¡± ¡°Mrs. Crompton, you are very concerned about the Ramsey family.¡± ¡°Thalia will marry into the Ramsey family sooner orter. I naturally have to be extra careful.¡± ¡°Thank you, Grandma.¡± Rayan smiled gently and took the initiative to pour coffee for them. Rosse was very satisfied with Rayan and there was praise in her tone. ¡°I have been teaching Thalia how to do her job as a good wife. I believe she will definitely be a very good wife.¡± Rosse was making insinuating remarks. Alexa smiled without saying a word and took a sip of hot coffee. Sure enough, Rosse¡¯s spearhead soon aimed at her again. ¡°Ms. Duran, your behavior seems to be very casual. After all, you¡¯re Terrence¡¯s wife. This won¡¯t do.¡± Under the table, Alexa silently pressed down on Terrence with her hand. ¡°Excuse me?¡± Content held by N?velDrama.Org. ¡°I heard that your son took your surname?¡± Rosse scoffed, ¡°What will others think of Terrence since you did that?¡± When Terrence heard this, his face sank even more. Alexa could even feel that his patience had reached its limit. ¡°Don¡¯t think that I am too direct. I only said these words because our families are old friends. I was being honest with you.¡± ¡°Well, I believe that you said it for our good.¡± Alexa smiled politely. ¡°But we hope that you can stay away from others¡¯ business.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°Damar is the child of me and Terrence. We can let him take the surname from anyone of us as we like. No matter what, it can¡¯t change the fact that we love him.¡± ¡°It is simply sophistry. It is really a misfortune for the Ramsey family to have a daughter-inw like you.¡± ¡°I am only married to the love in my heart. I am not a vassal of a certain family.¡± Alexa answered perfectly, but Rosse looked embarrassed. ¡°I really did not expect that you would have a sharp tongue.¡± ¡°I just treat myself as a normal person.¡± Alexa nced at Thalia, who was walking over from a distance. ¡°I think your granddaughter will definitely do better.¡± After her son and daughter-inw came, Rosse did not say anything more. However, the atmosphere of this meal was indeed strange. Terrence¡¯s face was cold and he almost did not eat anything. And these dishes did not suit Alexa¡¯s taste, so she seldom ate anything. Terrence certainly did not want Alexa to be bullied here. Several times, he wanted to take her away, but Alexa signaled him no with her eyes. Noticing that something was wrong, Thalia¡¯s parents did not dare to move their forks. Rosse, however, did not mind and kept putting food on Terrence¡¯s te. ¡°Terrence, Rayan will rely on you to promote him. Thank you.¡± Terrence smiled without saying a word and nced coldly at Rayan. There was already a w in his cold expression. ¡°Mrs. Crompton cares so much about you.¡± Terrence said indifferently, ¡°You must not fail to live up to her expectations.¡± ¡°Thank you for your advice, Terrence. I still have to learn from you about running thepany.¡± ¡°I have nothing to teach you.¡± Terrence directly embarrassed him. ¡°I don¡¯t know how to y these tricks.¡± Rayan looked awkward. James Crompton, Thalia¡¯s father, immediately mediated with a smile, but Terrence did not buy it. After dinner, Rosse could not wait to call Terrence to the garden. Alexa stayed in the living room, and Thalia also stayed there. ¡°If there is anything to make you unhappy today, I shall apologize here first.¡± There was a sly smile on Thalia¡¯s pure face. ¡°After all, my grandmother cares about Terrence very much, and she sees him as her real grandson.¡± Alexa was sitting at the side in a dignified and generous manner,pletely ignoring Thalia¡¯s words. ¡°Alexa, do you know why Hudson Group¡¯s board of directors is so dissatisfied with Terrence?¡± ¡°Heh.¡± Alexa gave a meaningless sneer, and Thalia kept saying. ¡°It¡¯s actually because of you. Terrence wasted so much time on you that Hudson Group suffered a huge loss.¡± Thalia said seriously, but what she got in return was a sneer from Alexa. ¡°Thalia, you are so na?ve that I find it funny.¡± Alexa¡¯s aura was so strong that it could not be ignored. Even Thalia was a little dumbfounded. ¡°What do you mean by wasting too much time on me? We are husband and wife, and no one else is qualified to judge us.¡± ¡°But Hudson Group is the property of the Ramsey family after all¡­¡± ¡°Business is a coexistence of risks and opportunities.¡± Alexa raised her chin coldly. ¡°It¡¯s just a short- term fluctuation. We have plenty of ways to win more opportunities.¡± Thalia did not expect that her provocation would not affect Alexa at all. ¡°Alexa, you have a good state of mind.¡± ¡°Ms. Crompton, so do you.¡± Alexa retorted, and her cold eyes suddenly locked on Thalia, ¡°You can openly interfere in other people¡¯s marriages and pretend to be innocent in front of me. You are the real master.¡± Thalia felt embarrassed and dodged in panic. And at the same time, Rosse directly said to Terrence. ¡°Terrence, I heard that she was sick and did not have much time left. You are still young and should not waste your life on this woman.¡± Chapter 368 Chapter 368 Chapter 368 I Just Suddenly Want to Hug You ¡°Mrs. Crompton.¡± Terrence stopped and looked at Rosse with a cold gaze. ¡°I think I have shown enough respect to you.¡± ¡°Terrence, what do you mean?¡± ¡°It¡¯s just a rumor that she doesn¡¯t have much time left.¡± Terrence said indifferently, ¡°But I¡¯m cruel and merciless. This is not a rumor.¡± Rosse¡¯s face suddenly shed with embarrassment, and she was a little awkward. And Terrence did not intend to make her feel better at all. ¡°How many times have you hurt my wife today? What is your purpose?¡± Terrence stared at Rosse. ¡°Or do you think you are qualified to control my thoughts?¡± ¡°Of course, I don¡¯t mean that. It¡¯s just for your own good.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Terrence sneered, ¡°Neither she nor I need this kind of concern.¡± Because of Rosse¡¯s status, Terrence had been kind enough. Rosse¡¯s face was pale, and she could not squeeze out a word. Terrence turned around and left, heading straight to the living room to find Alexa. In front of Alexa, Terrence retracted his sharp edge. ¡°Are you guys done?¡± Alexa asked gently. ¡°Yes, we are done.¡± ¡°How was it?¡± ¡°It was quite pleasant,¡± Terrence replied indifferently. Rosse did not appear in front of them again. Alexa smiled and did not ask about her. When they reached the main entrance, they happened to meet Rayan. N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. Although they had a very unpleasant dinner just now, Rayan still looked very kind when he saw them now. ¡°Terrence, Alexa,¡± Rayan said leisurely, ¡°Bon voyage.¡± Terrence had only nced at him lightly, but when he saw Rayan staring at Alexa with malicious intent, his face sank and he grabbed Rayan by the cor. This happened so suddenly that even the well-trained bodyguards around them did not react. But since it was Terrence, they did not dare to act rashly. ¡°Stay away from her.¡± Terrence faintly gritted his teeth. ¡°If you dare to harm her, I definitely won¡¯t let you go.¡± ¡°Terrence, I didn¡¯t do anything.¡± Rayan smiled and said his grievances, making people somehow feel disgusted. Alexa was worried that the situation would worsen and quietly pressed down on Terrence¡¯s arm. In the end, Terrence put away his overwhelming coldness and shook Rayan off. Rayan was forced to take a few steps back by Terrence¡¯s strength and looked a little embarrassed. ¡°Goodbye, Mr. Biddell.¡± Alexa nodded politely. After getting in the car, Terrence had been holding Alexa¡¯s hand. Sensing that Terrence was a little abnormal, Alexa carefully asked. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? My hand is filled with sweat because of you.¡± But Terrence still looked very serious, without the slightest hint of joking. ¡°Alexa, Alexa.¡± Terrence lifted her hand to his lips and kissed her passionately. ¡°I¡¯m here.¡± ¡°Can you hug me?¡± Alexa was somewhat surprised. After all, Terrence had never made such a request to her before. However, before she could answer, Terrence could not wait to pull her into his arms. His embrace was very solid, and he did not even have the intention of letting go of her. It was as if he wanted to knead her into his body. Alexa patted his back like she was coaxing a child. ¡°What happened? Can you tell me?¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing. I just suddenly want to hug you.¡± Terrence buried his head in her neck and greedily felt her breath. Only when Alexa really stayed in his arms did Terrence feel that he was still alive. What Rosse said just now actually hit his pain spot. Terrence could refute all the people who cursed Alexa without being hurt, but it was difficult for him to deceive himself. Alexa¡¯s illness was like a poisonous thorn in his heart, torturing him until he was about to go crazy. ¡°Alexa, let¡¯s take some time to go to the hospital.¡± Terrence¡¯s voice was hoarse. ¡°David said he had a way. He told me that there was major progress in the research.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa showed a rxed smile. But she did not see the blood red in Terrence¡¯s eyes. Terrence found that his love for Alexa seemed to have developed in an unpredictable direction. Terrence did not know what was hidden in the abyss. It was already five o¡¯clock in the afternoon when they arrived at Duckdale Vi. Everything had been sorted out, and Yareli was ying with Damarion in the courtyard. Seeing Alexa and Terrence show up at the gate, Damarion immediately rushed over happily. Alexa bumped into her son, and both of themughed happily. What was gratifying was that Damarion had grown up a lot. Even if they had not seen each other for a while, Damarion did not be distant from Alexa because of this. ¡°Sir, do you want the chef to cook dinner?¡± The butler asked in a timely manner. ¡°No need.¡± Terrence had already skillfully tied the apron. ¡°I¡¯ll take care of it.¡± The servants of Duckdale Vi had gotten off work early, which was also arranged by Terrence. Terrence hoped that most of the time would only belong to their family of three. ¡°What do you want to eat tonight?¡± Terrence prepared the ingredients. ¡°Dad, I want to eat¡­¡± ¡°I am asking your mother.¡± He smiled and interrupted Damarion¡¯s words, ¡°Little greedy cat, you are only active when it¡¯s time for meals.¡± ¡°Our Damar is growing and needs more nutrition.¡± ¡°Yes, Madam is right.¡± Terrence squatted down and asked Damarion patiently. ¡°Then what does our little baby want to eat?¡± Damarion was aplete optimist, and now he was still full of interest and said a list of a lot of dishes. And what he said was all Alexa¡¯s favorite. ¡°Good, I can see the initial results of my education. You remember what your mother likes to eat.¡± ¡°How can you teach a kid like this?¡± Alexa joked, but she felt sweet in her heart. After receiving instructions, Terrence went to the kitchen to cook. Alexa was tired from ying with Damarion, so she took him to rest on the sofa and watched Terrence¡¯s busy back in the kitchen. She suddenly remembered what Rosse had said today. ¡°Terrence.¡± ¡°Yes?¡± Terrence continued to be engaged in the kitchen work. ¡°Do you have any ideas about Damar¡¯s name?¡± When Terrence heard her question, the chopping sound in the kitchen suddenly stopped for half a second, and then it sounded in an orderly manner. ¡°Why did you suddenly ask?¡± ¡°Because strictly speaking, Damar¡¯s name was decided by me alone.¡± Moreover, there was also a hint of anger hidden in this. When Alexa gave birth to Damarion on Ice Floral Ind, she even made up her mind not to let him recognize Terrence. Alexa did not want Damarion to be snatched away, so she let Damarion share her surname. ¡°Damarion Duran.¡± Terrence read out this name very seriously, as if this name contained great weight. ¡°It¡¯s a good name. I like it very much, and I believe that my son also likes it very much.¡± ¡°But he has the surname of the Duran family. Do you really not mind?¡± When she asked this question, Alexa was actually very unsure. She even subconsciously held her breath, looking forward to Terrence¡¯s Answer Chapter 369 Chapter 369 Chapter 369 Unhappy Marriage ¡°I don¡¯t think his surname is a problem for me.¡± Terrence served thest dish on the table. ¡°Damar is our child, so I don¡¯t care what his surname is.¡± Terrence paused, and then slowly exined, ¡°I do not agree with the concept that children must use their father¡¯s surname. This is extremely unfair to their mother.¡± Alexa said, ¡°I thought you would mind.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care about the opinions of outsiders. It¡¯s nothing,¡± Terrence said lightly. They had a good meal. Alexa kept smiling, and the smile on her face never disappeared. Hudson Group would hold a shareholder meeting tomorrow. Alexa didn¡¯t allow Terrence to stay upte and forced him to go to bed early. ¡°Are you worried about me?¡± He grabbed her hand and pressed it on his chest. Alexa felt his steady heartbeat, and she calmed down. ¡°I¡¯m not worried. I believe in you. There will be no problem,¡± Alexa said in a rxed tone. Terrence chuckled and gently kissed Alexa¡¯s hair. On the second day, many people showed up in Hudson Group. Rayan had indeed called over all the major shareholders. He looked confident. When Terrence entered the meeting room, someone immediately said something. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, what do you think about the suggestion of the general shareholders meeting?¡± ¡°What is it?¡± Terrence replied calmly and casually pulled a chair over to sit down. ¡°You are the president of Hudson Group, and your wife must be someone who is beneficial to the development of the group. But now, most of the profit of Hudson Group has been used on meaningless research on medicine. I don¡¯t know why you did this.¡± When he finished speaking, the meeting room became quiet. Terrence calmly nced over the others and chuckled. ¡°What about the others? Do you have the same opinions?¡± No one dared to respond. Terrence showed a fake smile. He suddenly picked up the ss in front of him and smashed it at the person who had just spoken. The ss with hot water smashed on the man¡¯s shoulder, and the ss shards instantly cut the man¡¯s face. ¡°Bastard!¡± N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. Terrence¡¯s expression was terribly gloomy. Everyone lowered their heads at the same time,pletely not daring to have eye contact with Terrence. ¡°It seems that I treat you too well.¡± Terrence sneered and added, ¡°Don¡¯t you know who I am?¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Edwin quickly got someone to bring the man out. The venue was quickly cleaned up as if nothing had happened. Only now did the group of people understand what kind of person they had offended. Terrence didn¡¯t lose his power as the rumors had said. On the contrary, his way of solving problems was even more ruthless than before. Rayan seemed to be sitting calmly at the side, but his fingers that were ying with the pen began to tremble. ¡°Any problems?¡± Terrence raised his head slightly. This time, no one dared to speak. ¡°Then let¡¯s end the meeting.¡± With an order, he got up and left the conference room. After Terrence left, people in the meeting room were still in shock. One person said, ¡°Mr. Biddell, you shouldn¡¯t make this n. That person is always ruthless. We don¡¯t want to lose our jobs.¡± Rayan said disdainfully, ¡°If this goes on, Hudson Group will only go bankrupt. At that time, you¡¯ll also lose your jobs.¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± Rayan left with a poker face. His hatred became deeper. And at this time, Alexa also left the vi. She asked Yareli to take care of Damarion and went to a bar. Alexa had not been to such a ce for a long time, and this time, she came to meet Carissa. They hadn¡¯t seen each other for several years. Carissa had changed a lot. Carissa had a simr age as Alexa, but Carissa looked much older than Alexa. The Barrell family didn¡¯t go well in recent years. The business of Carissa¡¯s father was not as good as before. When Carissa saw Alexa, Carissa first greeted Alexa. ¡°Long time no see. You still look the same. You look quite young.¡± ¡°Maybe it¡¯s because I have a good mentality.¡± Alexa just wanted to make a joke, but Carissa¡¯s expression became much more serious. Carissa had sat at the bar counter for a while. There were already a few empty sses in front of her, and there was even half a ss of whiskey. Carissa smiled, ¡°What do you want to drink? Baileys? Your husband won¡¯t let you drink, right?¡± ¡°My alcohol tolerance is actually not bad. Have you forgotten?¡± ¡°Really?¡± Carissa suddenly recalled something. ¡°The night Brenton confessed to you, you got drunk after drinking one ss of wine. Don¡¯t you remember?¡± After she finished speaking, Carissa realized that she had said the wrong thing. ¡°Oh, sorry¡­¡± Alexa didn¡¯t mind. However, when Alexa suddenly heard this name, she was a bit stunned. ¡°Is he okay now?¡± Alexa asked casually. ¡°Marriage between rich and powerful families is always unhappy. You know that. He justpleted the ridiculous task for his family. He won¡¯t lead a happy life,¡± Carissa sneered. The two of them didn¡¯t talk much when they found the other end of the bar suddenly became noisy. Arge group of young people in gorgeous clothes entered the bar in a high profile, and the one who was surrounded by them was Thalia in sexy clothes. After they entered the bar, Thalia directly grabbed a girl¡¯s hair and pped her. ¡°How dare you provoke Rayan? Shameless bitch, I¡¯ll kill you!¡± Thalia cursed angrily. The woman did not dare to resist. After being pped twice by Thalia, she was sshed with a ss of wine. ¡°Bitch.¡± Thalia kicked her and then held the young man next to her. The two of them were very intimate, and it was obvious that they were lovers. Seeing Alexa staring at them, Carissa became curious.She asked, ¡°Do you know her?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve seen her a few times. She¡¯s the granddaughter of Mrs. Crompton.¡± Alexa withdrew her gaze. ¡°It¡¯s her.¡± Carissa showed a smile and added, ¡°She loves fooling around with men, right? She gets seven or eight male partners a week. How can she marry Rayan?¡± ¡°Rayanes from a side branch of the Ramsey family. It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± ¡°Will the Ramsey family ept this kind of woman? Who can tolerate her?¡± Rayan seemed to be quite indulgent with Thalia. Alexa also felt that their rtionship was strange, but she did not say anything. She and Carissa were chatting, and the bartender in front of them suddenly changed. Thalia calmly picked up a cup and turned it with her hands. There was a smile on her face. ¡°Alexa, I didn¡¯t expect you to be here. What do you want to drink? It¡¯s on me.¡± Sensing the dangering from the woman in front of her, Carissa subconsciously grabbed Alexa¡¯s shoulder to protect Alexa. ¡°Sorry, my friend doesn¡¯t drink.¡± ¡°How about a Dry Martini?¡± Thalia smiled Chapter 370 Chapter 370 Chapter 370 What if She Is Bullied by Others? Alexa had already noticed that the group of people had already moved closer to them. If she didn¡¯t drink the wine today, they probably wouldn¡¯t be able to leave this bar. Alexa looked up and said, ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°Alexa?¡± Carissa looked at Alexa with a puzzled expression, but Carissa found that Alexa did not panic at all. ¡°Cool. That¡¯s why I like you so much.¡± Thaliaughed and skillfully made the drink. Alexa saw the wound on Thalia¡¯s arm. It seemed that Thalia¡¯s was scalded recently. However, before Alexa could retreat her gaze, Thalia ced a ss of wine in front of Alexa. There was an olive in the ss. Alexa had a stomach illness and would never drink such hard liquor. Seeing that she was a little hesitant, Thalia showed a yful and vicious smile. ¡°Alexa, don¡¯t you like it?¡± Thalia¡¯s face darkened. Carissa could feel how terrifying Thalia was, so Carissa took the initiative to snatch the ss. ¡°I¡¯ll drink it for her.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t drink!¡± Thalia pped the table with a cold face. People who were talking and gossiping in the bar suddenly became silent. Alexa was still calm. It made Thalia feel annoyed for no reason. ¡°Alexa, you¡¯re quite lucky.¡± Thalia gritted her teeth. It seemed that she wasining. ¡°Your family loves you. You have a baby and such good friends. I really envy you.¡± ¡°If you have something to say, just say it. There is no need to be so euphemistic.¡± ¡°Rayan wants the shares of Hudson Group. Will you give it to him?¡± Alexa replied calmly, ¡°Why should I give it to him? If he wants it, go get it himself.¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± Thalia sighed regretfully. She picked up the handkerchief and wiped her long fingers gracefully. ¡°In fact, I hate these tricks. Because they will offend people.¡± Alexa suddenly looked up and saw the woman who was beaten up by Thalia just now. She was still kneeling beside the seat. Her hair and clothes were scattered and the red marks on her face were dazzling. ¡°Sorry, I shouldn¡¯t let the annoying person get in your way.¡± Thaliazily raised her hand and made an order. ¡°Hurry up and clean up. It¡¯s so dirty.¡± In less than two minutes, the messy ce was cleaned uppletely, and the woman just now was dragged out. ¡°If you don¡¯t drink now, the taste of this wine will get worse.¡± Thalia knocked on the table with her fingers and looked at Alexa as if Thalia had targeted her prey. Alexa picked up the ss with no expression. The pungent smell of alcohol instantly made her feel nauseous. Before she could drink the wine, someone suddenly snatched the ss. Then, under Alexa¡¯s slightly surprised expression, that person raised his head and drank the wine in the ss in one gulp. ¡°The wine is good, but you shouldn¡¯t use it to bully someone.¡± Finley said coldly. And the smell of medicine on his body had been covered by the strong smell of alcohol. Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. Alexa remembered that he had never drunk alcohol. However, he drank up the hard liquor without any hesitation. Seeing this, Thalia sneered. ¡°Alexa, is this also your friend?¡± ¡°Ms. Crompton, that¡¯s enough,¡± Finley warned coldly. Thalia, however, didn¡¯t care. She looked at Finley up frivolously. ¡°Which family are you from? I¡¯ve never seen you before.¡± ¡°There are many people you haven¡¯t heard of. You don¡¯t need to show off your ignorance.¡± Finley¡¯s expression didn¡¯t look good. Alexa even sensed his suppressed anger. ¡°I¡¯m done drinking. I want to take her away.¡± After saying this, he didn¡¯t wait for Thalia to respond and directly grabbed Alexa¡¯s arm. Thalia¡¯s subordinates surrounded them. But without Thalia¡¯s order, they did not dare to act rashly. Finley, Alexa, and Carissa left the bar. Someone asked, ¡°Ms. Crompton, we shouldn¡¯t let them go just like that. I can bring some people to teach them a lesson.¡± ¡°No need. That man is quite interesting.¡± Thalia raised her head arrogantly. Hearing this, the young man beside her held Thalia¡¯s waist with dissatisfaction. ¡°Do you like him? Then what about me?¡± ¡°You?¡± Thalia frowned and pushed him away, pping him in the face with disgust. ¡°You¡¯re nothing to me.¡± The man did not dare to say anything and could only lower his head. Thalia picked up the empty ss in front of her and looked at it carefully. A determined smile appeared on her delicate little face. Her smile was dangerous and charming. At this time, Finley had already brought Alexa and Carissa to the side of his car. ¡°Can you drive?¡± Alexa nodded. ¡°Yes.¡± Finley didn¡¯t say much and directly gave her the car key. ¡°Then drive the car. I only believe in you.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Alexa wanted Carissa to help Finley, but Alexa didn¡¯t expect that just as she let go of Finley, Finley sat in the passenger seat. ¡°Alexa, your friend looks very ufortable. Send him to the hospital.¡± ¡°Carissa, thank you for what you did. Should I ask the driver to send you back?¡± ¡°No need.¡± Carissa waved her hand, still looking unrestrained. ¡°I had a good time today. Let¡¯s meet again next time.¡± With that, Carissa disappeared at the corner. Alexa sent two inclothes bodyguards to protect Carissa, then drove Finley to the hospital. ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you to rest at home? Why did you suddenlye out?¡± ¡°It isn¡¯t a serious injury. Besides, I was just passing by,¡± said Finley with his eyes closed. ¡°How could you pass by a bar? You don¡¯t usually drink,¡± said Alexa. It was indeed a lie. Finley stopped talking. He was so stubborn. Alexa sent him to the hospital, and the doctor quickly arranged for him to have a gastricvage. When Terrence arrived at the hospital, Alexa was waiting alone in the corridor. ¡°Why are you here?¡± She was quite surprised. ¡°I have to deal with some business. Sorry, I¡¯mte.¡± Terrence carefully looked her over. He asked, ¡°Are you okay?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine. Dr. McMin helped me. He should be quite ufortable now.¡± Terrence did not say anything. He wasn¡¯t that worried anymore. ¡°It¡¯s good that you¡¯re fine.¡± Alexa knew that Terrence actually minded that she had close contact with other men. When Finley came out of the treatment room, Terrence specially arranged for a few professional nurses to take care of Finley. ¡°Thank you for protecting my wife,¡± Terrence said politely. However, Finley did not seem to appreciate Terrence¡¯s kindness. He remained indifferent. Finley seemed to be dissatisfied. ¡°You should look after her. What if she is bullied by others?¡± ¡°I won¡¯t let anyone hurt her,¡± Terrence said confidently. At that moment, Alexa immediately felt that Terrence was irritated. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Alexa immediately held Terrence¡¯s hand. ¡°Nothing happened to me, right?¡± ¡°Is it Thalia?¡± Chapter 371 Chapter 371 Chapter 371 Admirable Self-Control ¡°She didn¡¯t hurt me.¡± ¡°Your alcohol tolerance isn¡¯t good. You probably don¡¯t want to experience the feeling of having your stomach pumped,¡± Finley said slowly. Alexa didn¡¯t know what to say. Finley seemed to be in a rotten mood, and Alexa did not say anything more. Noticing her submissive look, Terrence hesitated to speak and finally left the hospital with Alexa. ¡°Will you make a move on Thalia?¡± Alexa suddenly asked curiously. Terrence pulled his tie and raised his eyebrows slightly. ¡°Darling, do you think I am a phnthropist?¡± Thalia dared to make a move against Alexa, which Terrence couldn¡¯t bear. In any case, it was impossible for Terrence to not teach her a lesson. ¡°Are you going to plead for her?¡± ¡°No.¡± Alexa said rationally, ¡°I just feel it¡¯s better to avoid unnecessary trouble. After all, Mrs. Crompton goes way back with the Ramsey family.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not a big deal.¡± Terrence didn¡¯t care about hypocritical rtionships. He wanted to stroll around the city with Alexa, but Edwin suddenly sent a message saying that Irvin was in New York. ¡°I can¡¯t seem to shake him off.¡± Terrence¡¯s expression turned cold. ¡°The Niebergall family deals in jewelry.¡± Alexa was well-informed. ¡°This time, they are nning to disy the Heart of Ocean in New York. I¡¯m afraid they will be in the limelight again.¡± However, Terrence did not take it to heart. ¡°David is in the hospital. Let¡¯s go and see him.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± In fact, Alexa did not like to carry out these checks. The cold instruments analyzed the data and always gave her a feeling that her life was left without secrets. However, Terrence looked more nervous than her. Ever since Alexa entered the examination room, he had been glued to her, never looking away. ¡°Ms. Duran, we need to collect the electrocardiogram data now. Please lift up your clothes,¡± the nurse said politely. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa lifted the innermostyer of her clothes and revealed her fair waist and chest. The slightly cold air touched her skin, and her ears turned a little red. She was shy when Terrence looked at her. ¡°Ms. Duran, you need to untie your bra,¡± the nurse reminded kindly. Terrence sat quietly beside her and waited, seemingly not hearing the nurse¡¯s words. Alexa was a little embarrassed. She lifted her shoulder straps, and her ears were red. ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous,¡± Terrence suddenly said. ¡°You¡­ go out¡­¡± Alexa said. ¡°You need a family with you,¡± he said seriously. Alexa couldn¡¯t refute him and closed her eyes. ¡°Then turn around! You are not allowed to look!¡± A short two-minute examination felt even longer than several hours. Although Terrence did not touch her, Alexa felt the temperature of his fingers in her body. Realizing her thoughts were getting strange, Alexa had trouble breathing, and her t belly boobed. Before the examination was over, Alexa heard a rustling sound. Terrence walked to the other side and sat down. The nurse looked at the report and whispered. ¡°Your heart rate is a little fast. Are you nervous?¡± Alexa smiled and beat around the bush. Then she quickly tidied up her clothes. The nurse took the report and went out. Only Alexa and Terrence were left in the examination room. Alexa walked in front of Terrence. He was still sitting with his back to her, looking like he had no intention of getting up. ¡°Aren¡¯t you leaving?¡± Alexa asked curiously. Terrence coughed, and his ears suddenly turned red. ¡°You go first.¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± She was confused. ¡°Don¡¯t ask.¡± Terrence firmly said that and urged Alexa to go out. Half an hourter, he came out of the examination room. His expression was not perfectly calm. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Terrence¡¯s voice was a little hoarse. Alexa suddenly realized what was going on with Terrence. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, you have admirable self-control.¡± Alexa praised with a smile and pinched his waist vindictively. ¡°Don¡¯t make a fuss.¡± He said seriously, and his body tensed up. Terrence was surprised Alexa was so bold. ¡°Is that so? Were you peeping at me just now?¡± Alexa smiled charmingly. ¡°No¡­ Cough, cough¡­¡± When David came over, he just happened to see them doing that. Terrence obediently stood beside his wife, looking like a good student, and he was no longer cold or arrogant. It was not easy for David to hold back hisughter. ¡°Terrence, your face is quite red.¡± David pretended to not know anything. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? I¡¯ll help you make an appointment with an expert.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, he felt Terrence¡¯s sharp gaze. David leaned towards Alexa as if he wanted her to protect him. ¡°Although our hospital is good at cardiovascr diseases, our Andrology Department cannot be underestimated. Mr. Ramsey¡­¡± ¡°David.¡± Terrence smiled ¡°kindly¡±, which instantly frightened David. David immediately put on the serious look of a doctor and cleared his throat. ¡°Come with me to get the report.¡± David quickly handed the reports to them and smiled sincerely. ¡°The data is optimistic. The speed of recovery is unexpected. Overall, things are going great.¡± The haze in Terrence¡¯s eyes instantly dissipated. ¡°Okay.¡± Although it was a simple reply, there was unconceble joy on Terrence¡¯s face. Alexa smiled with relief. When they left the hospital, Edwin sent an invitation. It was from the Niebergall Group. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, Mr. McMin also received an invitation.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°Ms. Crompton had it delivered.¡± ¡°Thalia? What is she trying to do?¡± Alexa frowned suspiciously. In Finley¡¯s sick room, he stood by the bed. He watched coldly as the woman in front of him ced gift boxes on the table. ¡°What is this¡± Finley said expressionlessly. Thalia casually leaned on the sofa, swinging her left leg. ¡°These are gifts. Can¡¯t you tell?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t need them.¡± ¡°No matter what, you were hospitalized after drinking my wine.¡± Thalia had a lollipop in her mouth. ¡°So I should apologize.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t dream of getting information about Alexa from me.¡± Finley gave her a meaningful look. ¡°Those little tricks of yours are worthless.¡± ¡°What little tricks?¡± Thalia smiled brightly, looking a little arrogant. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, don¡¯t you think your words are a little funny?¡± ¡°Get out.¡± ¡°I like you,¡± Thalia said honestly Chapter 372 Chapter 372 Chapter 372 Stop Pretending The disgust in Finley¡¯s eyes deepened. ¡°Boring.¡± Thalia enjoyed cold rebuffs. The more distant Finley was, the more she wanted to conquer him. ¡°Do you like me? Give me an answer. Don¡¯t be oblique.¡± Thalia stood up nonchntly, acting so frivolous that she didn¡¯t look like ady from a rich family. ¡°No.¡± ¡°Heh, don¡¯t be so sure. I¡¯ve dated many men. Maybe you¡¯ll give in to my charm, too.¡± ¡°No.¡± ¡°Oh, then let¡¯s see about it.¡± Thalia looked as if victory was in her grasp. Every man could be seduced. She had seen someone like Finley, who was pretending to be noble and virtuous. Perhaps he was more frivolous than anyone in private. However, Finley stared straight at her for a while. Thalia pursed her lips and smiled. ¡°What are you looking at?¡± ¡°Have you ever seen a psychiatrist?¡± Finley frowned and asked seriously. ¡°What?¡± ¡°Some psychological diseases need to be treated with medicine under the guidance of a doctor. I hope you can take it seriously.¡± Thalia¡¯s yful expression instantly turned sour. ¡°Are you crazy?¡± She cursed in disdain and turned to leave. ¡°Remember toe to tomorrow¡¯s party. Otherwise, Alexa won¡¯t have a good time,¡± Thalia threatened without looking back. Thalia knew Finley¡¯s weak spot. He would definitely take the bait when it involved Alexa. Although it worked like a charm every time, Thalia felt ufortable. She had just walked out of the inpatient building when Rayan rushed over with arge group of bodyguards. Thalia asked and looked impatient. Rayan grabbed her wrist and asked through gritted teeth. ¡°What are you doing here? Who are you here to see?¡± ¡°Let go. You are hurting me.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t want to tell me? Alright, I¡¯ll go and kill that man,¡± Rayan said as he narrowed his eyes dangerously. ¡°Rayan, are you crazy¡± Thalia roared at the top of her lungs. The people passing by all looked at them. Rayan felt embarrassed. He pulled Thalia back to the car. ¡°Speak!¡± ¡°What kind of tone is that? Do I need to report to you everything I have done?¡± Thalia took out her lipstick to fix her makeup with disdain. She did not take Rayan¡¯s anger to heart. However, Rayan did not dare to do anything to her. ¡°Thalia, remember this. You are my woman. I can tolerate your mistakes, but there is a limit to my patience!¡± ¡°What? It¡¯s not like you want to be with me because you really like me. Why pretend?¡± Thaliaughed mockingly. ¡°We will get married sooner orter, and you will be in the Biddell family. Please pay attention to your words and actions.¡± ¡°Rayan, I made it clear a long time ago.¡± Thalia rolled her eyes in annoyance. ¡°I am okay with marriage and acts, but you can¡¯t control me. We can be with anyone we want in private.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Rayan was so angry that he didn¡¯t know what to say. He just stepped on the elerator with a sullen face. ¡°We will attend the banquet together tomorrow night. You should make preparations.¡± ¡°Got it.¡± Thalia responded perfunctorily, but she was thinking about another person. The banquet held by the Niebergall Group was grand, and everyone present was upper-ss. It was like a vanity fair. Alexa held Terrence¡¯s hand as they walked in. Irvin immediately brought a group of guests over to greet them. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Ms. Duran, it¡¯s been a long time.¡± Irvin¡¯s smile was insincere. Alexa sized him up calmly. The palm print on Irvin¡¯s face had disappeared, but he was much thinner than before, and his eyes were gloomier. He heard the Niebergall family refused to ept him back, which was why he came to New York. Alexa smiled elegantly, not affected by his sarcasm at all. ¡°Mr. Niebergall, you look better now. I think you have just recovered from a serious illness. Congrattions.¡± When Irvin thought of the ps Alexa had given him, rage rose in his heart. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. But when he looked at Alexa, the coldness around Terrence increased. They were confronting each other with feigned harmony when amotion suddenly came from the entrance of the venue. Everyone was attracted to it. Finley was dressed in an expensive and formal custom-made suit, and there was a youngdy with him. Alexa¡¯s eyes shed with surprise and joy. At the same time, Rayan and Thalia also entered the venue. When Thalia saw the woman next to Finley, the fake smile on her face instantly disappeared. She ignored the people taking photos and shook Rayan¡¯s hand off, walking away. Alexa and Terrence saw all that. They looked at each other and walked to Finley and the others. ¡°Dr. McMin, who is this?¡± Alexa extended her hand and smiled kindly at the girl. The girl clutched her skirt, obviously a little shy, but she beat Finley to it. ¡°My name is Josina Hall. I am a colleague of Dr. McMin at the research institute. Recently, I have been studying in New York.¡± Although they were colleagues, she looked much younger than Finley, as if she was fresh out of college. Alexa looked at them with subtle inquiry, which made the young woman a little embarrassed. Noticing that, Terrence quickly found an excuse to take Alexa away. ¡°Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s not that simple?¡± Alexa¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°That girl¡¯s face is red.¡± Terrence was not dumb, so he could notice that. ¡°It¡¯s amazing. Dr. McMin actually likes someone.¡± ¡°How is that weird?¡± Terrence could not help butugh. ¡°He is outstanding, so many girls would like him.¡± Alexa kept talking about Finley. Terrence drank some champagne and said coldly. ¡°It doesn¡¯t taste good.¡± ¡°What? Let me try it.¡± Alexa naturally took his ss and took a small sip. ¡°It¡¯s delicious,¡± she said honestly. ¡°It¡¯s sour.¡± Terrencemented and quickly changed the subject so that she wouldn¡¯t talk about Finley. After Finley and Josina entered the venue, they found a rtively quiet ce to wait. Finley was not here to talk about business. He just wanted to see Alexa. ¡°Dr. McMin, I have to go to the bathroom.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll wait for you here.¡± This was the first time Josina had attended a dinner party with Finley, so she paid extra attention to her appearance. As soon as she entered the bathroom, she immediately stood in front of the mirror to fix her makeup. Unexpectedly, a woman wearing a low-cut fishtail skirt appeared behind her with a cold face. Josina sensed the danger and silently moved aside. But it seemed this woman wanted to talk to Josina. Chapter 373 Chapter 373 Chapter 373 Your Tricks Are Stupid ¡°Excuse me, what can I do for you?¡± Josina asked in a friendly manner. Looking at the woman¡¯s friendly face, Thalia curled her lips in disdain. ¡°You might be able to seduce other men. But it¡¯s impossible for you to get a man like Finley,¡± Thalia said condescendingly. Josina couldn¡¯t take her harsh words and felt wronged. Her eyes instantly turned red. ¡°Do you know Dr. McMin?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Thalia gave a proud smile. ¡°And I am telling you that you can¡¯t beat me.¡± ¡°Dr. McMin and I are not what you think¡­¡± Josina was about to cry because Thalia intimidated her. But Thalia looked powerful, so Josina didn¡¯t dare to offend her. ¡°Dr. McMin and I are just friends.¡± ¡°Come on. Your tricks are stupid. I just came to warn you not to fight with me,¡± Thalia said with contempt. A person like Josina was not worth Thalia spending too much time with. Therefore, Thalia showed little kindness for the first time and did not continue to make things difficult for her. Josina walked past her holding her skirt in a daze. Unexpectedly, she twisted her ankle and fell down unsteadily. Thalia stood upright on the side and watched Josina¡¯s skirt split open. Josina was in a sorry state and looked funny. Josina was about to leave, but the noise she caused soon attracted the guests nearby. Finley¡¯s figure quickly passed Thalia. Then he took off his coat and carefully covered Josina. ¡°Dr. McMin¡­¡± Josina choked and called out to him. She could no longer hold her emotions and cried in Finley¡¯s arms. ¡°It¡¯s okay. I¡¯m here.¡± Finley said in a gentle voice. ¡°Did you sprain your ankle? Let me take a look.¡± Thalia quietly looked at Finley¡¯s caring face and was actually a little fascinated. However, the next second, Josinained in Finley¡¯s arms. ¡°She pushed me¡­¡± When Alexa and Terrence arrived at the venue, they happened to hear that. It was clear who Josina was talking about. Thalia wasn¡¯t a pushover, so she argued back. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. ¡°What nonsense are you talking about? You tripped because you are stupid.¡± Finley nced at her quietly, his eyes cold and sharp like ice. Based on her understanding of Thalia¡¯s character, Alexa felt her words were not trustworthy. ¡°Ms. Crompton, have you not done enough?¡± ¡°What did I do? She was being unreasonable.¡± Thalia was emotional, and Terrence shielded Alexa. ¡°Let Rayan handle it,¡± he ordered coldly. Hearing themotion, Irvin and Rayan also hurried over. The moment he saw Thalia, Rayan was so angry that his temples hurt. But Thalia did not exin anything and just left. ¡°There are no surveince cameras. We can¡¯t be sure it was Ms. Crompton who did it just by the words of thisdy,¡± Irvin said rationally. ¡°In any case, this isn¡¯t over.¡± Alexa said firmly, ¡°Mr. Niebergall, please give us a fair and just exnation.¡± After that, Alexa and Terrence drove Josina to the hospital with Finley. A dinner party was ruined, and the attention of the media was attracted by them. The fake smile on Irvin¡¯s face was fading, and he was mad. Luckily, a check-up showed Josina was fine. Finley bandaged her up and insisted she stay in the hospital for a few days to rest. Josina calmed down, but her eyes were still moist. Noticing that, Alexa and Terrence went out together. Finley covered her with a quilt, but Josina grabbed the hem of his clothes shyly. ¡°Dr. McMin¡­¡± ¡°Do you feel ufortable anywhere else?¡± Finley asked seriously. ¡°My foot still hurts a lot. Can I trouble you to stay for a while longer? I don¡¯t have many friends in New York,¡± Josina said in a weak voice. ¡°Sure.¡± Finley looked like he was easy to talk to. He took the chair and sat down by Josina¡¯s bed. Josina blushed, but she still asked uncertainly. ¡°Dr. McMin, she told me¡­ she liked you quite a bit, so you¡­¡± ¡°I have nothing to do with her. I don¡¯t know her,¡± Finley replied with a cold face. ¡°Oh.¡± After Josina fell asleep, Finley quietly left the ward. Alexa and Terrence were still waiting at the door. ¡°Is she alright?¡± Alexa asked with concern. ¡°She is fine. She was just scared.¡± ¡°Then you have to be there for her.¡± Alexa said, ¡°She is just a young girl after all.¡± Finley pursed his thin lips tightly, obviously not wanting to continue this topic. However, Terrence hit the nail on the head and asked. ¡°How did you get involved with Thalia?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Finley didn¡¯t look happy when Thalia was mentioned. ¡°She has been fooling around. If you can¡¯t handle her, stop talking to her to avoid trouble.¡± Terrence had found out what kind of woman Thalia was long ago. No one expected such a thing to happen. For a moment, the atmosphere was oppressive. The next day, Alexa received Thalia¡¯s invitation. They agreed to meet at a caf¨¦. When Alexa arrived, Thalia was sitting by a bed, stirring the sugar cubes in the coffee. Thalia didn¡¯t look frivolous anymore but refined. However, Thalia couldn¡¯t hide her rebelliousnesspletely. Alexa sat down in front of her without a change in expression. ¡°What kind of deal do you want to make with me?¡± ¡°As the wife of the CEO of Hudson Group, you are true to your name.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to talk nonsense with you.¡± Alexa said coldly, ¡°I can make a bargain with you as long as you can offer enough.¡± ¡°What if I want Finley?¡± Thalia smiled, and her tone was yful. ¡°To be honest, I fell in love with him at first sight.¡± Alexa¡¯s face froze. She could not imagine how Finley would react when he heard that. ¡°Thalia, are you sure you are not joking with me? You are Rayan¡¯s fianc¨¦e.¡± Alexa concealed the surprise in her eyes. ¡°So what? What if I can help you take down Rayan?¡± Thalia¡¯s smile grew. Alexa nced at her but did not reply immediately. Thalia calmly took out a documents pouch. ¡°I know you have a grudge against Irvin. The information here is enough to send him to prison. I like dealing with smart people,¡± Thalia said calmly. ¡°Thalia, what kind of person are you?¡± Alexa¡¯s eyes were curious. ¡°I am doing this because I think it is fun.¡± Thalia shrugged indifferently. ¡°No other reason.¡± Chapter 374 Chapter 374 Chapter 374 No One Is Clear-Headed ¡°Ms. Crompton, your narration is not enough to make me believe you.¡± ¡°You can test me. They ruined my happiness and freedom, and I will not let them off.¡± Thalia did not mind. ¡°You are quite crazy.¡± ¡°No one is clear-headed.¡± Thalia drank half a cup of coffee and didn¡¯t care how she looked. ¡°Rayan will make his move on the goods in the eastern warehouse. You better make preparations early,¡± Thalia said. Now was the time for Hudson Group¡¯s directors to change. Alexa believed Rayan would use such a despicable method to backstab them. ¡°What do you want from me?¡± Alexa asked seriously, ¡°Finley is not my private property. I can¡¯t exchange him with you.¡± ¡°I will make him fall in love with me willingly.¡± Thalia was confident and changed the topic, ¡°I don¡¯t care what kind of conflict you have with Irvin, but I want you to send Rayan to prison.¡± ¡°Give me a reason.¡± ¡°Do you know why the powerful Crompton family would help a piece of trash?¡± Alexa frowned slightly and did not understand. Thalia twitched the corner of his mouth in self-mockery. His smile was extremely cold. ¡°Because they are hiding some dirty sins.¡± After saying that, Thalia got up and left with a cold face. ¡°After thinking it over, you can contact me at any time.¡± Alexa held the business card Thalia left until the coffee cooled down before leaving her seat. Alexa did not make a decision. Instead, she called her assistant. ¡°What kind of goods are stored in the warehouse in the east of the city?¡± ¡°Ms. Duran, it is the high-end fabric of Hudson Group¡¯s new elite brand Y&S. The design department is preparing for the new clothing fashion show two monthster. The board of directors attached great importance to this press conference, so someone suggested that Mr. Biddell be fully responsible for it,¡± the assistant said in an orderly fashion. ¡°He is not a professional in this field. He will ruin it.¡± Alexa went to the design department of Y&S, just in time for the regr meeting of the department. Her arrival surprised everyone, and the manager Alva stood up and gave up her seat. ¡°Ms. Duran. Is there anything you need?¡± Alva asked, neither servile nor overbearing. ¡°It¡¯s just an inspection. Everyone, please continue.¡± Alexa smiled gently and found a seat on the side. She did not try to steal the limelight. Alva nodded and continued to arrange the work. Alexa had been working in thepany for many years, so she could tell Alva was capable. Alva exined the project in an orderly manner, and Alexa nodded in agreement with a look of praise. Realizing Alexa was not as harsh as the rumors said, everyone secretly heaved a sigh of relief. After the meeting ended, Alexa ordered coffee and sweets for the office. ¡°Thank you, Ms. Duran!¡± Someone shouted enthusiastically, and the others echoed. The atmosphere suddenly became cheerful. ¡°Thank you for your hard work, everyone.¡± Alexa nodded politely with a sweet smile, winning everyone¡¯s favor. Alva knew Alexa had something to say to her, so she invited Alexa to her office. ¡°Ms. Duran, are you here for the new productunch of Y & S?¡± ¡°You¡¯ve put a lot of effort into this brand. I believe it will be a great sess.¡± ¡°Thank you, Ms. Duran. I will do my best.¡± ¡°Ms. Bloom, you are capable and experienced. The department needs a director-general. I think you are the most suitable candidate.¡± Alexa gently leaned over. ¡°Ms. Duran, you ttered me. I am only doing my best. I have no other ns for the time being.¡± ¡°Is it because of¡­ Mr. Biddell?¡± Alva smiled without saying anything. ¡°I know what the board of directors thinks, but they can¡¯t affect the final result.¡± ¡°Ms. Duran¡­¡± ¡°Hudson Group appreciates outstanding talents, not connections. Moreover, Rayan is just a neer. There are many things he needs to learn.¡± Alexa didn¡¯t intend to beat around the bush. Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. ¡°Of course, I don¡¯t mean you will have the job because of me. I will follow up on this project and have an evaluation of you two.¡± A look of joy finally appeared on Alva¡¯s calm face. Alexa meant she couldpete fairly with Rayan. How could Alva not be happy? ¡°Thank you, Ms. Duran!¡± After that, Alexa left the design department. Alexa did not expect to run into Rayan, who came to take over the affairs. After what had happened yesterday, Rayan¡¯s expression was strange when he saw her. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, I am sorry for not weing you sooner.¡± ¡°In thepany, I am your superior. You should call me Ms. Duran, Mr. Biddell,¡± Alexa said meticulously. Rayan gritted his teeth. The feeling of being inferior was ufortable. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Ms. Duran. I was abroad for a long time, so I don¡¯t know much about this.¡± ¡°So, do you understand now?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°I heard you volunteered to be in charge of the Y&S show? We are all waiting for your surprise.¡± Alexa smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Ms. Duran. I will do my best,¡± Rayan said with a fake smile. Alexa smiled lightly. After she brushed past Rayan, her smile instantly vanished. She went to Terrence¡¯s office, and he just happened toe back after a meeting. Seeing Alexa, Terrence got up and give up his seat, his eyes full of smiles. ¡°Edwin said you went to the design department just now.¡± ¡°I went to take a look. The directors actually let Rayan be in charge of the show. It¡¯s simply wishful thinking.¡± ¡°Darling, you are right.¡± Terrence nodded and looked at Alexa expectantly. ¡°Then how do you n to deal with it?¡± ¡°I n to let himpete fairly with Alva, and I can¡¯t let the board of directors take advantage of everything.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Terrence agreed with her. In fact, he would agree with everything she said. ¡°Actually, you had that thought long ago, right?¡± Alexa knew what he thought. ¡°You just gave me this opportunity to establish my prestige in thepany?¡± ¡°With your ability, why would I need to do that?¡± Terrence brushed the light hair on Alexa¡¯s temples, his eyes full of love. ¡°Mrs. Crompton has brought Thalia to apologize to Josina. They should be in the hospital now,¡± Terrence said. Alexa¡¯s eyes darkened a little at the mention of Thalia. Thalia was interesting. Rosse and Thalia entered Josina¡¯s ward together. ¡°You are Josina? Name your price,¡± said Rosse. Josina looked timid as she faced them alone. Josina pursed her lips weakly and looked like she was about to cry again. ¡°What do you mean by this? Are you using money to insult me?¡± ¡°Come on. Aren¡¯t you doing all this for money?¡± Rosse raised her voice. Chapter 375 Chapter 375 Chapter 375 That¡¯s Enough, Ms. Hall Josina was a young, inexperienced girl. Facing such a domineering nobledy, of course, she was frightened. ¡°I did not¡­¡± Rosse turned a deaf ear to her and continued to ask. ¡°80 thousand dors. Is that enough?¡± ¡°Stop insulting me with your money!¡± Josina said firmly, her eyes brilliant with unwept tears, ¡°I don¡¯t need the money. What I want is an apology. Don¡¯t think that you are superior just because you are influential and powerful.¡± Enter title¡­ Thalia clicked her tongue. Seemingly, she was a little impatient. Since Rosse was here, Thalia was not in a hurry to speak to Josina. ¡°You know that the Crompton family is powerful, but you still choose to go against us?¡± Rosse put it all on the table. ¡°We¡¯re being really nice to you. We are willing to settle the matter out of court. What else do you want? What is there to be unhappy about?¡± ¡°Anyway, Ms. Crompton pushed me. Truth is truth.¡± Josina¡¯s voice unconsciously weakened a bit. ¡°Moreover, what she said to me¡­¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough, Ms. Hall.¡± Thalia saidzily, her eyes full of sharpness. Thalia sneered, going straight to the heart of the matter, ¡°Drop the act. There¡¯s no need for theatrics now. You should know very well whether I pushed you or not, right?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± Josina did not say a few words, the rims of her eyes reddened. Josina gazed at Thalia tearfully. At this moment, she looked pitiable. Sure enough, every man would be protective upon seeing this pure girl, wouldn¡¯t they? Thalia silently scoffed at Josina with a look of disdain. ¡°You are a young girl. That¡¯s why I have shown you some respect.¡± Thalia Content held by N?velDrama.Org. flipped her hair impatiently. ¡°You know, enough is enough. Don¡¯t give me that.¡± When Thalia said that angrily, the ward suddenly quieted down. Josina looked at the door and shouted pitifully. ¡°Dr. McMin.¡± At that moment, Thalia curled her lips and sighed. His timing was so impable¡­ Thalia turned her back to Finley, but she could imagine how cold his expression was now. ¡°You are Dr. McMin?¡± Rosse sounded still domineering. ¡°Please talk with your girlfriend about how to resolve this matter.¡± Thalia was a little unhappy when she heard what Rosse called Josina. ¡°Grandma, Dr. McMin is not her boyfriend. Don¡¯t make fun of her,¡± Thalia said sarcastically. However, Finley directly stood in front of Josina and said coldly. ¡°I think of it in the same way Josina thinks of it. You need to apologize.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Finley didn¡¯t correct Rosse that Josina wasn¡¯t his girlfriend. Hearing so, Josina curved her lips imperceptibly and blushed. ¡°Thalia, let¡¯s go! It¡¯s not our fault. Why should we apologize?¡± Rosse was furious. When Thalia left, she looked at the white coat that Finley was wearing. There was a name patch on his chest. It seemed that he had started his new job in this hospital. That was good. Thalia could frequently stop by and see him here. Thalia seemed to be in a good mood and did not continue to argue with Josina. After they left, Josina reluctantly left Finley¡¯s arms. Her ears were red and she did not dare to look at him. ¡°Dr. McMin, are you¡­¡± ¡°I was rmended by Dr. Cooper. Now I work in the cardiovascr department here.¡± ¡°So you won¡¯t go back, right?¡± ¡°Right. No such agenda, for the time being,¡± Finley answered meticulously. ¡°My research is done. My director said that I could apply to stay in New York.¡± Josina made her intentions in. Since Finley stayed here, Josina didn¡¯t n to leave either. However, Finley wasn¡¯t overjoyed. He still had a very serious look on his face. ¡°It¡¯s all up to you. I have no objections.¡± ¡°Dr. McMin, what is our rtionship¡­¡± ¡°We are still colleagues, no doubt about it. What else could it be?¡± Finley chuckled. His eyes were clear without a trace of impurity. All of Josina¡¯s high hopes fell in pieces on the ground. After Finley left the ward, Josina nuzzled her face into her pillow and cried out loud. Damarion was ufortable due to the allergy season. Alexa took him to the hospital, but they just happened to meet Finley. Finley had just finished his rounds. He washed his hands three times before gently pinching Damarion¡¯s face. ¡°Why did youe to the hospital? What ails you?¡± Facing Damarion, Finley was kind and loving. Damarion was always at ease with himself in front of strangers and immediately reached out to Finley for a hug. ¡°Damar!¡± Alexa called his name. She wanted to say something else, but she faltered and changed her mind. However, Damarion turned a deaf ear to her. Finley did not refuse, and he skillfully picked Damarion up. ¡°Did you ept Dr. Cooper¡¯s invitation?¡± Alexa looked very happy. ¡°Yes. He is a very aplished expert, and we share the same research field,¡± Finley answered very seriously. Most importantly, she was here. However, Finley did not say this. ¡°How¡¯s Damarion?¡± ¡°Just a little allergic. He¡¯s fine.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Finley nodded. ¡°If you need any help, keep me informed.¡± Alexa responded and suddenly thought of something. Alexa said slowly, ¡°Edwin has already found out what exactly happened during the dinner party. A cleaningdy witnessed the whole process. Thalia did not push Ms. Hall. Instead, she just said a few words to her.¡± ¡°I know.¡± Finley¡¯s expression did not change, as if he already knew the truth of the matter. Seeing that Finley was close to Josina, Alexa was not sure if Finley was really indifferent to the truth. ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me¡­¡± ¡°I believe you. Why should I doubt that?¡± Finley answered immediately. ¡°Well, that¡¯s good.¡± Alexa nodded and saw Thalia not far away. Thalia stood in front of Finley¡¯s office with a lollipop in her mouth. When Thalia saw Alexa, she smiled and waved at her. ¡°Since you have a patient waiting, I do not wish to keep you any longer from your duties.¡± Alexa took Damarion from his arms. Finley¡¯s neat clothes had been messed up by Damarion. Alexa smiled apologetically at Finley and said guiltily. Sorry, Damarion is too naughty.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. He¡¯s very cute.¡± Finley quietly smoothed his shirt and walked towards the office. The moment he saw Thalia, his eyes dimmed a little. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Finley asked evenly. Thalia was cheeky enough, so she was not affected by his attitude. ¡°Dr. McMin, what else can I do in a hospital?¡± Thalia asked with a smile. Finley opened the door, and Thalia followed him in. ¡°Dr. McMin, I¡¯m not feeling well.¡± Thalia sat down on the bed and stared at Finley calmly. ¡°What seems to be the trouble?¡± ¡°My heart hurts.¡± Thalia pressed her cor and said invitingly. However, Finley coldly ordered tests and didn¡¯t even look at her. ¡°Do the tests ande back with the reports,¡± Finley said impersonally. Unexpectedly, Thalia directly untied her buttons. Chapter 376 Chapter 376 Chapter 376 Who Are You? Finley¡¯s face immediately sank. ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°It¡¯s for the examination.¡± Thalia answered bluntly, ¡°Other doctors would do this examination when I consult them.¡± Although Finley was well-mannered, he was so angry that his forehead was bulging at this moment. ¡°There¡¯s no such examination.¡± He asked patiently, ¡°Do you feel unwell or not N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. exactly?¡± Enter title¡­ ¡°Of course,¡± Thalia answered. ¡°Otherwise, why would Ie to see you?¡± Finley was not interested in her tricks. After handing the examination report to her, he drove Thalia away. When Alexa received Thalia¡¯s call, she was heading home with Damarion. ¡°Alexa, I don¡¯t want to be mean. But Dr. McMin¡¯s attitude was too cold,¡± Thalia said directly. ¡°But he was nice to your son just now.¡± Alexa didn¡¯t want Damarion to be gossiped about, so she didn¡¯t say much to Thalia. ¡°Dr. McMin is very serious when he works.¡± ¡°Does he have any hobbies? Or does he like anything?¡± Alexa paused and found that she really didn¡¯t know the answers. ¡°I don¡¯t know much about his private life.¡± At this moment, the car door was opened, and Terrence heard that clearly. His expression changed slightly, but Terrence did not say anything. He was holding Damarion in his arms. Alexa did not seem to notice that he had gotten into the car. She was still talking to Thalia. Terrence got closer and closer to Alexa. Finally, he took her hand and fiddled with it. Thalia was a straightforward person. She hit the nail on the head. ¡°I think he is quite gentle to you. Did he like you?¡± Terrence was very close to Alexa, so he could hear the voice on the other end of the line clearly. Alexa could even feel that Terrence¡¯s vibe got cold. Alexa couldn¡¯t imagine his expression right now. Before she could turn her head to look at him, Terrence took her phone away. ¡°My wife is so outstanding. Is it strange that someone liked her?¡± Alexa was shocked. The air seemed to be filled with jealousy. Thalia, who was on the other end of the line, was obviously surprised. Then she deliberately asked with a smile, ¡°Excuse me. Who are you?¡± ¡°Who am I?¡± Terrence narrowed his eyes. ¡°Her husband. Who do you think I am?¡± These simple words revealed Terrence¡¯s confidence as Alexa¡¯swful husband. Alexa looked at his serious face. She couldn¡¯t help butugh. After Terrence hung up the phone, he was still holding back his anger. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Alexa pulled the edge of his shirt. ¡°Why are you angry?¡± ¡°She actually asked me who I was.¡± That was all Terrence said after being silent for a while. ¡°Who else can refer to you as ¡®my wife¡¯, except me?¡± ¡°You are angry just because of that?¡± ¡°Just?¡± Terrence said earnestly, ¡°She was very rude.¡± ¡°Right. Mr. Ramsey, you¡¯re right.¡± Alexa gave a thumbs-up in agreement. ¡°Were you talking about Finley with her before I got into the car?¡± Terrence stared straight ahead, leaving only a serious side profile for Alexa. Alexa found that Terrence was easy to get jealous of and also difficult to coax. ¡°She misunderstood.¡± Alexa softened her voice, ¡°Don¡¯t be angry. OK?¡± ¡°No,¡± Terrence said in annoyance. ¡°I¡¯m very angry now. And you won¡¯t be able to fool me.¡± Despite what he said, Terrence leaned closer to Alexa and even interlocked his fingers with hers. And he showed no intention of letting go. Damarion looked at the interaction between his parents curiously. The corners of his eyes were curved as she smiled, which was very adorable. Alexa pinched his face. She teased Damarion, ¡°Baby, you know what¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°Dad is not angry.¡± ¡°You should give your dad some face.¡± Just like Damarion, when Alexa smiled, her eyes looked extremely beautiful. The jealousy in Terrence¡¯s heart immediately vanished. He could only feel sweetness at this moment. At the same time, Thalia returned to Finley¡¯s office with the examination report. Finley was very cold just now. But he was now reading the report carefully. Thalia watched him reading silently. A slight flush appeared on her face. She looked like a young girl. ¡°Dr. McMin.¡± Thalia asked softly, ¡°Are there any problems?¡± Finley didn¡¯t like Thalia¡¯s pretentious tone. But he still said honestly, ¡°Your heartbeat is irregr. How is your sleep?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t sleep at night. I won¡¯t fall asleep until eight or nine in the morning.¡± ¡°Have you ever treated it?¡± asked Finley. ¡°I drink when I can¡¯t sleep. Does that count?¡± Thalia thought for a while and said, ¡°My alcohol tolerance is pretty good. No matter how much I drink, I won¡¯t get drunk.¡± Finley lowered his head to write the medical records. He couldn¡¯t help but frown. ¡°First of all, quit drinking alcohol.¡± ¡°No, I can¡¯t,¡± Thalia said in a quandary. ¡°If I don¡¯t drink, I will never be able to sleep.¡± ¡°If you keep drinking, you will be asleep forever,¡± Finley said coldly. Thalia pursed her lips and began to tease Finley again. ¡°Dr. McMin, you¡¯re bad-tempered and mean. And you always wear a long face. No one will like you, except me.¡± Finley put down his pen and nced at Thalia. He couldn¡¯t stand it any longer. ¡°Do you think this is interesting?¡± ¡°I¡¯m just telling the truth.¡± Finley ced the prescription sheet in front of her. He said in a t tone, ¡°Go to the hall on the first floor to pay for the medicine. Don¡¯t eat greasy food, and maintain a good mood.¡± Thalia nodded as if she would do as Finley said. Before leaving, Thalia asked him something else. ¡°Dr. McMin, let¡¯s add each other on Line. Can I chat with you when I¡¯m not in a good mood?¡± ¡°No.¡± Finley refused without hesitation. ¡°You can make an appointment at the psychiatry department. There are professional psychiatrists.¡± Thaliaughed and went out. However, after she walked out, Rayan suddenly showed up in front of her with an angry face. ¡°Why do youe to the hospital so often?¡± Rayan asked coldly. ¡°Who are you here to see?¡± ¡°Let go!¡± Thalia shook off his hand. But she restrained her emotions and did not quarrel with Rayan. ¡°Of course, I came to the hospital to see a doctor. What else can I do?¡± ¡°To see a doctor? Are you unwell?¡± Rayan narr his eyes in suspicion. ¡°Why don¡¯t you tell me?¡± He snatched the prescription sheet from Thalia¡¯s hand. After he saw that it was real, the suspicion in Rayan¡¯s eyes faded. ¡°Are you having chest pain?¡± Rayan softened. ¡°I want to see your doctor. If he is not capable enough¡­¡± ¡°No need.¡± Thalia snatched the prescription sheet. She looked a little unhappy. ¡°He was rmended by my friend. He is good. You don¡¯t have to do anything.¡± ¡°I am just worried about you, Thalia,¡± Rayan said softly. ¡°I was just too anxious just now. Don¡¯t be angry.¡± Thalia didn¡¯t reply and walked away with a cold face. When Finley and his colleague came out, they saw Thalia and Rayan. ¡°Isn¡¯t she the patient that just went to see you?¡± The colleague said casually, ¡°She seems to like you. I didn¡¯t expect that she already has a boyfriend.¡± Chapter 377 Chapter 377 Chapter 377 You Can¡¯t Control Me ¡°I have nothing to do with her,¡± Finley said in a low voice. Then he walked away with a cold face. Rayan apanied Thalia to get the medicine and then took her to a luxury shop to buy purses. Thaliazily selected among thetest products of the season. Rayan bought every purse that she was interested in. After checking out, Rayan suddenly asked Thalia a question. ¡°I heard that you have been very close to Alexa recently, haven¡¯t you?¡± Enter title¡­ As soon as Rayan finished speaking, Thalia¡¯s face sank again. She immediately lost her temper. Thalia raised the purse in her hand and threw it at Rayan. ¡°I only talked to her a few times. You think that¡¯s ¡®close¡¯?¡± Thalia scolded with rage, ¡°Does it have anything to do with you?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± Rayan didn¡¯t raise his voice, but his eyes were filled with anger. Thalia became impatient when she saw his expression. ¡°I am your fianc¨¦. I should be the only one by your side,¡± Rayan lowered his voice and spoke in a serious tone. But Thalia wasn¡¯t touched at all. She sneered, ¡°Don¡¯t be silly. Stop talking nonsense.¡± Rayan said, ¡°Don¡¯t make me angry¡­¡± ¡°What? You think you control me after bing my fianc¨¦? What are you thinking?¡± Rayan was embarrassed. But he managed to suppress his anger and did not re up on the spot. Rayan didn¡¯t want to lose face and wanted to pull Thalia away. However, they bumped into Alexa and ra. When they saw each other, the atmosphere suddenly became intense. Of course, Alexa was indifferent to Rayan. But she wasn¡¯t enthusiastic about Thalia either. Alexa and Thalia acted as if they did not know each other. They did not talk much. ra curled her lips slightly and politely eased the atmosphere. ¡°Ms. Crompton, Mr. Biddell, what a coincidence.¡± Thalia replied, ¡°Yes.¡± She greeted them with a good attitude and even smiled at Rayan. ¡°Didn¡¯t you want to buy me purses? I haven¡¯t bought enough yet.¡± Rayan replied, ¡°Then let¡¯s go back to the shop. I¡¯ll pay.¡± ¡°Just give me the card directly,¡± Thalia said casually. ¡°I don¡¯t need your Rayan nced at Alexa. In fact, he didn¡¯t want Thalia to stay with Alexa. Rayan felt that Thalia was provoking him deliberately. However, in front of outsiders, Rayan put on a fake smile and pretended to be gentle. ¡°Have a good time then.¡± After handing the card to Thalia, he left. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Alexa asked casually. ¡°You¡¯ve seen it.¡± Thalia shrugged nonchntly. ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°My friend wanted to shop, and I came with her,¡± Alexa replied. ¡°We¡¯re just strolling around.¡± Seeing that Alexa and Thalia seemed to have a good rtionship, ra did not ask about it. She just looked at Thalia curiously. Although Thalia had thick makeup on. ra could tell that her facial features were actually quite delicate. Thalia looked like a rebellious girl from a rich family. However, Alexa had always been wary of Thalia and had never trusted her fully. But Thalia said casually, ¡°I¡¯ll pay the bills tonight. ¡°You can buy whatever you want.¡± Based on Alexa and ra¡¯s finance, they did not need Thalia to pay for them. They knew that Thalia just wanted to anger Rayan. Before Alexa and ra replied, Thalia asked the shop assistants to pack all the purses in a row of shelves. Alexa nced at the purses. She guessed they would cost at least 1.6 million dors. The shop assistants almost burst intoughter. They all followed behind Thalia to serve her. When Thalia saw a luxurious and low-key tie for men, she paused for a moment. ¡°Ms. Crompton, this tie was personally made by Edward, the master of fashion. It is very suitable to be given to the person you like.¡± The meaning of the shop assistant¡¯s words was very obvious. When Alexa saw Thalia¡¯s expression, she was very sure that the person the shop assistant was implying was not who Thalia was thinking about. ¡°Will he like it?¡± Thalia looked at Alexa. ¡°I think it suits his shirt.¡± Alexa felt awkward and did not know how to respond. But Thalia had already handed the tie to the shop assistant. ¡°Wrap it up carefully and put it in your best packaging.¡± ¡°OK, Ms. Crompton.¡± Alexa and ra watched Thalia buying almost all the items in the shop. But it seemed that the only thing she really liked was this tie. After seeing ra off, Alexa and Thalia stood by the street. Alexa couldn¡¯t help but ask Thalia a question. ¡°Do you really like Finley?¡± ¡°Of course. Thalia blinked with excitement. ¡°I¡¯m pursuing him right now. But he¡¯s always cold to me.¡± ¡°But you and Rayan¡­¡± ¡°Of course, I won¡¯t marry Rayan. I¡¯ve been with him just to collect evidence and send him to prison.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Alexa asked curiously, ¡°Did he do something bad to you?¡± ¡°Kind of. But I don¡¯t remember the details.¡± Thalia clicked her tongue. ¡°Anyway, I really hate him.¡± Thalia took out a women¡¯s cigarette from her purse and looked at Alexa. ¡°Do you have a lighter with you?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t smoke,¡± said Alexa. After she finished, Alexa¡¯s eyes were fixed on the two men not far away. Alexa did not know why Terrence and Finley were together. Anyway, when they came over, the atmosphere at the scene was still a little strange. Terrence stepped forward and held Alexa¡¯s arm without a word, while Finley stood not far away and nced coldly at Thalia. Her hand that was holding the cigarette froze. Then Thalia silently threw the cigarette into the trash can beside her. ¡°I picked it up from the ground.¡± She smiled fawningly. ¡°I¡¯ve never smoked. I was just curious about what cigarettes looked like. I pick it up to take a look.¡± Alexa was speechless. Terrence didn¡¯t say anything either. Finley did not speak. Alexa and Terrence didn¡¯t strange about it. Seeing that Alexa¡¯s hands were empty, Terrence frowned. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you were going to buy something? Where is it?¡± ¡°I just came to apany ra. I don¡¯t need to buy anything.¡± ¡°I saw you looking at some clothesst night,¡± Terrence remembered it very clearly. ¡°Do you want me to give you some advice? It¡¯s rare that we¡¯re alone with each other at night.¡± Alexa smiled sweetly and immediately left with Terrence. However, when she left, she nced at Finley hesitantly. Thalia was much more enthusiastic than Finley. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Alexa. With me here, Dr. McMin will be fine.¡± Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Hearing this, Finley¡¯s face immediately darkened. He turned around and walked away. Thalia immediately followed him. ¡°Dr. McMin, why are you here?¡± ¡°I was just passing by. That¡¯s all.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t say anything.¡± Thalia said patiently, ¡°Where is your home? I¡¯ll give you a ride.¡± ¡°No need.¡± As soon as Finley finished speaking, Thalia leaned against the car and cried out in pain. ¡°Dr. McMin, I think¡­ I have just twisted my ankle.¡± ¡°Your acting is quite bad.¡± Chapter 378 Chapter 378 Chapter 378 There Is Some Rtionship Between Us ¡°It¡¯s true. You can take a look if you don¡¯t believe me.¡± Although Finley didn¡¯t quite believe her words, he still turned back and squatted by her feet to examine her injuries seriously. ¡°It¡¯s not serious. Can you walk?¡± ¡°It hurts when I move. Could you please send me back,¡± Thalia said, handing him the car key. Thalia knew that Finley must have read her mind, but she was certain that Finley wouldn¡¯t refuse. Enter title¡­ ¡°I¡¯ll help you call a taxi,¡± Finley said with a cold face. ¡°No, I don¡¯t want to. It¡¯s quite dangerous for a girl like me to be alone with a stranger.¡± ¡°I¡¯m also a stranger to you.¡± ¡°You are not. You are my attending physician. And there is some rtionship between us.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just that you¡¯re my patient.¡± Finley added in an indifferent voice, denying it coldly. ¡°So can you send your patient home? I¡¯ll be grateful to you.¡± Seeing that Finley was still wearing a cold face and did not reply for a long time, Thalia pretended to be pitiful. ¡°Well, it doesn¡¯t matter.¡± In the end, Finley quietly took the car key from his hand. Thalia¡¯s car was a limited edition Porsche. It looked so conspicuous to be parked on the roadside. Finley did not like this kind of exaggerated style, but now he did not say anything. Thalia told him the address of one of her vis. Finley, who had always been calm, drove so fast tonight. Thalia couldn¡¯t help but tighten her seatbelt, her stomach feeling sick. She wondered if Finley didn¡¯t even want to stay with her for a long time. Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. Although she had cursed him in her heart, Thalia still tried to bear it. When Finley parked the car at the entrance of the vi and Thalia saw Rayan standing not far away, her face suddenly darkened. Rayan saw Finley as well and immediately walked over quickly. ¡°Hit him.¡± Thalia lifted her hair proudly. ¡°What?¡± Finley frowned. ¡°Nothing,¡± she replied, ¡°Thank you for sending me back tonight.¡± After saying that, Thalia got out of the car swiftly and stopped Rayan not far away. ¡°Who is that man?¡± Rayan asked with a gloomy face. At that moment, Rayan could no longer maintain the image of a gentleman. ¡°It¡¯s just a taxi driver,¡± Thalia exined casually. ¡°How long do you want to lie to me?¡± Rayan growled. Finley, who was not far away, had already gotten out of the car. When Rayan saw him, his expression turned gloomy. ¡°Finley!¡± He gritted his teeth tightly, and then suddenly pulled Thalia over. ¡°Thalia, how can you fool around with Finley?¡± ¡°No, we don¡¯t.¡± Hearing Finley¡¯s cold voice, Thalia smiled in ridicule. ¡°Did you hear that? He doesn¡¯t even want to be with me.¡± Rayan was so angry that his body trembled. Finally, he couldn¡¯t bear it any longer and scolded. ¡°Bitch!¡± Thalia was not a submissive woman. She cursed in her heart and threw her bag onto the ground. Finley, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped. Rayan was even angrier. He held Thalia even tighter and sneered. ¡°What? You just feel sympathetic to her, don¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Rayan, there¡¯s nothing going on between us. You shouldn¡¯t have done it to a woman.¡± ¡°Nothing?¡± Rayan¡¯s eyes turned red. ¡°Are you kidding me? You just want me to catch you in bed, right?¡± He cursed badly until he finally threatened Thalia. ¡°Thalia, have you told him¡­¡± ¡°Rayan! Shut up!¡± Thalia suddenly copsed. She could not bear it any longer and kicked Rayan. Then, she struggled desperately in his arms. Rayan tightened his grip on her hair and raised his hand to p Thalia. ¡°You shameless slut!¡± ¡°Rayan, that¡¯s enough!¡± Finley¡¯s face darkened. He stepped forward and grabbed Rayan¡¯s wrist. Although Finley looked thin, his strength surprised Rayan. Rayan refused to admit defeat. Then he showed a signal to the bodyguards in the dark secretly. However, when the bodyguards rushed out, several Rolls-Royce also arrived at the entrance. ¡°Thalia, you schemed against me!¡± Rayan used his elbow to push Finley away and hit Thalia several times. It seemed that he had done it many times as usual. When Alexa ran over, Edwin had already brought people to suppress Rayan. ¡°Bitch! I¡¯ll kill you!¡± Rayan was still swearing, but when he saw Terrence, he didn¡¯t even dare to act arrogantly. ¡°Bastard!¡± Terrence scolded him coldly and pped him in front of so many people. ¡°Is this how your father taught you?¡± Terrence gritted his teeth, feeling angry. ¡°You bastard! Ask Raymond here to deal with it.¡± ¡°I am your nominal cousin. You are not qualified to drive me away!¡± ¡°Rayan, you are indeed an asshole.¡± Terrence grabbed his cor and pulled him over, ring at him. ¡°A damn thing like you don¡¯t even worth mentioning the Ramsey family.¡± Thalia sat on the ground and could not stand up. Alexa let Thalia lean in her arms, checking her injuries. ¡°I feel cold¡­¡± Thalia murmured in a trembling voice, her forehead full of cold sweat. ¡°Hold on. I¡¯ll take you to the hospital.¡± Just as Alexa finished speaking, a suit jacket gently covered Thalia¡¯s body. Alexa looked up in surprise. Finley had already picked up Thalia from her arms. Alexa and Terrence soon followed them to the hospital. Thalia had a high fever and all the doctors were busy in the emergency room. Her situation seemed to be very urgent. Rayan stood in the corridor with a depressed expression, while Terrence sat opposite him with a darkened face. And all the relevant people had been called to the hospital. When Raymond arrived, he pped Rayan without saying anything. Melody Biddell, Rayan¡¯s mother, protected her son with concern and almost quarreled with Raymond. ¡°How can you do it to your wife like that?¡± Raymond cursed indignantly, but it was clear that he was acting in front of Terrence. ¡°Thalia is seriously hurt,¡± Alexa said coldly, ¡°This is an intentional injury, and we¡¯ll deal with it when we get the injury report.¡± Seeing Alexa¡¯s serious attitude, Melody immediately panicked. ¡°It¡¯s just a quarrel between husband and wife. There¡¯s no need to take it seriously, right? If this matter was known by everyone, the Ramsey family would also be embarrassed,¡± Melody said with a fake smile. ¡°We won¡¯t support him! He is the one who should be med for the despicable thing,¡± Terrence sneered. Melody¡¯s smile froze on her face. While the situation was tense, James and Elena came. ¡°It¡¯s just a little thing. And please don¡¯t cancel the engagement with Thalia.¡± Hearing this, Rayan curled the corners of his mouth slightly and nced at Alexa provocatively. ¡°Really? But Alexa doesn¡¯t seem to agree.¡± Rayan pretended to show an embarrassed expression. Chapter 379 Chapter 379 Chapter 379 Fall Head Over Heels in Love As soon as Rayan finished speaking, everyone looked at Alexa. Terrence nced at them indifferently, which scared James instantly. ¡°Ms. Duran, this is a matter between our family and the Biddell family. I hope that you will not interfere.¡± ¡°I did not interfere,¡± Alexa smiled politely, ¡°But how to solve this problem depends on Ms. Crompton. You have no right to make decisions for her.¡± Enter title¡­ ¡°You¡¯re right, but I have the right to cancel the engagement at any time,¡± Rayan said in a gloomy tone. When it came to the engagement, James and Elena felt anxious. Sensing their emotions, Alexa immediately understood that there was something wrong going on. At that moment, Finley came out of the emergency room. As soon as Rayan saw him, he immediately pounced over with red eyes. However, Edwin quickly stopped him. ¡°Finley, you bastard! I¡¯ll kill you!¡± Rayan cursed. ¡°You just won¡¯t stop it, right?¡± Terrence¡¯s face darkened. Raymond and Melody saw this and immediately pulled Rayan to the side with nervous faces. Finley remained calm and said slightly. ¡°The wound has been treated, but she¡¯s still having a high fever. Tonight, she¡¯ll be in a dangerous state.¡± When Elena heard this, she immediately turned around and secretly wiped her tears. However, James still insisted. ¡°No matter what, we¡¯ll never break off the engagement.¡± Alexa was speechless. She then sent Thalia back to the ward with the nurse. The others wanted toe in with them, but they were all stopped by Thalia. ¡°You go out. I don¡¯t want to see you.¡± She just grabbed Alexa¡¯s sleeve tightly and refused to let go. Alexa understood her meaning and apanied her into the ward. Then, she locked the door. Thalia was still having a fever and her movements became extremely slow. As soon as Alexa turned around, Thalia tried her best to sit up. Thalia was seriously injured. Not only was her head wrapped in bandages, but even her abdomen got hurt. ¡°I want to drink water.¡± ¡°Wait a moment. I¡¯ll pour it for you.¡± Alexa poured some water and fed Thalia patiently. At that moment, Thalia lookedpletely different from before in the bar. She was so fragile. Then, Thalia suddenly stared at Alexa nkly for a long time, her eyes gradually full of tears. ¡°How can you be so good to everyone? You will be cheated easily,¡± Thalia said in a cry. ¡°I am not good for everyone. I just think you are not a bad person,¡± Alexa said indifferently. ¡°I smoke, drink and fight. Don¡¯t you think I am a bad person?¡± Alexa turned a deaf ear and just asked. ¡°Why did you hit that woman at the bar that day?¡± ¡°She was just a person I hired,¡± Thalia said frankly. Then she smiled, ¡°Otherwise, those people wouldn¡¯t think that I had fallen head over heels in love with Rayan.¡± ¡°Your parents just said that they didn¡¯t want to cancel the engagement. If you want to say something, I can convey it to them.¡± ¡°Of course, they won¡¯t want to cancel the engagement.¡± Thalia was trying to restrain her emotions, and even when she wiped her tears, she looked proud. ¡°After all, my existence is a disgrace to them.¡± As soon as Thalia finished speaking, she lifted the hem of her clothes. Alexa then saw the scar on Thalia¡¯s lower abdomen. ¡°I stabbed myself with a knife. It was my 20-year-old birthday party that night. Rayan was drunk and entered my room¡­¡± Thalia said coldly. Alexa was shocked, and her eyes looked even colder. ¡°I found that I was pregnant two monthster, but when I told my parents, they asked me to get engaged to Rayan. ¡°They told me not to make a fuss or resist, but¡­ I was the victim.¡± ¡°Later, you stabbed yourself with a knife, right?¡± Alexa¡¯s voice was trembling, and her eyes were filled with pity. ¡°Silly girl.¡± ¡°I almost died in the operation room, and I can no longer have children, but I still failed to change their minds.¡± Thalia clenched the sheets in hatred, tears falling from the corners of her eyes. Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. ¡°Rayan said that he loved me, but I only want him to die.¡± ¡°The evidence you gave me is strong enough to send him to prison,¡± Alexa said firmly, ¡°Terrence and I will think of a way to let him get the punishment he deserves.¡± ¡°No, that¡¯s not enough¡­¡± Thalia gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice, ¡°I want him to pay a heavy price!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be agitated. You should take good care of yourself for now. I will get you the best doctor.¡± Alexa helped Thalia lie down and helped her cover the quilt before leaving. However, Alexa had just taken two steps when she heard Thalia¡¯s extremely humble voice. ¡°Am I not qualified to love Finley? I didn¡¯t tell him about it¡­¡± ¡°Love is a matter between two people. I am not qualified toe to any conclusion.¡± After that, Alexa left the ward. James and Elena were still waiting at the door, but when Alexa saw them, she looked even more gloomy. ¡°Ms. Crompton is already asleep. You can¡¯t disturb her now.¡± ¡°She is our daughter. Are we not qualified to see her?¡± Elena was instantly angry. She mmed the door and shouted. ¡°Thalia! Thalia, open the door!¡± Alexa nced at the bodyguards beside her. They immediately stepped forward and blocked the door. ¡°Alexa, what do you mean? Did you say something to her so that she doesn¡¯t want to get married?¡± Elena looked very excited. As Elena spoke, she raised her hand, but her wrist was instantly grabbed. Finley stood behind her with cold eyes. ¡°You¡¯re in the hospital, but not a ce for you to make a ruckus.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°Are you the man who fooled around with my daughter?¡± James cursed. And he still wanted to attack Finley. Alexa became impatient and asked the bodyguards to drive them away. The corridor soon quieted down. Alexa and Finley looked at each other speechlessly, and the atmosphere was quiet for a moment. Finally, Finley took the lead to sit on a chair at the side. It seemed that he did not intend to leave. ¡°Did you know everything during the examination?¡± Alexa asked uncertainly. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°If you have time, can you apany her? She¡¯s still in an unstable mood right now. I will find a professional psychologist as soon as possible,¡± Alexa exined. ¡°One of my jobs is a psychologist.¡± ¡°Then¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ll help her.¡± Although Finley still looked cold, Alexa could sense that he was no longer as resistant to Thalia as before. ¡°However, everything I do depends on myself. Please don¡¯t use me to make an exchange.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t. Dr. McMin, how would I dare?¡± Alexa immediately refuted. Finley stared at Alexa with a frown, but in the end, he did not say anything. After Terrence settled the matter, he came over to pick up Alexa. Before leaving, Alexa reminded Finley. ¡°Then hurry up and go in to apany her. She¡¯s waiting for you.¡± Finley looked at her with a helpless expression. Chapter 380 Chapter 380 Chapter 380 Please Don¡¯t Leave ¡°How are you going to deal with Rayan?¡± Alexa asked. ¡°After doing such a thing, he definitely cannot stay in thepany anymore,¡± Terrence said coldly, ¡°Of course, there must be some punishment waiting for him.¡± ¡°Thalia just told me something about Rayan.¡± Alexa recounted the matter to Terrence in detail. After he heard it, there was no longer any warmth in his eyes. ¡°Thalia has handed me the evidence. She hopes to send Rayan to prison.¡± Enter title¡­ ¡°I will ask Edwin to contact thewyer.¡± Terrence didn¡¯t expect that Rayan would have done so many despicable things. At the very least, he should pay a heavy price. N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. Alexa was in a bad mood and seemed to be affected greatly. ¡°I don¡¯t even dare to imagine that if I was the victim¡­¡± ¡°No!¡± Terrence stopped her quickly. It was getting dark and Alexa did not notice the killing intent in Terrence¡¯s eyes. When she said this just now, Terrence almost could not restrain the emotions in his heart. Right now, he was particrly cautious and alert. If anything happened to Alexa, he didn¡¯t even know what he would do. Terrence realized how terrible this emotion was, so he soon concealed it silently. Alexa was still talking about Thalia and Rayan, but Terrence could only force a smile and even changed the topic. ¡°Damar kept saying that he wanted to eat steakst night.¡± His tone was very gentle. ¡°What about you? Is there anything you want to eat?¡± ¡°You can let the cook prepare the dishes.¡± Alexa was very concerned about him. ¡°You are so tired after working for a day.¡± To her surprise, Terrence was not as happy as she expected. ¡°These things are not a burden to me,¡± he said earnestly, ¡°I just want to do my best to make up for my previous mistakes.¡± Alexa was stunned and did note back to her senses for a long time. ¡°The past is past.¡± She grabbed Terrence¡¯s hand. ¡°We¡¯re living a happy life now.¡± ¡°Well, you¡¯re right.¡± When they arrived home, Damarion was having dinner. Alexa picked up her son happily, and Terrence watched them from the side, feeling relieved. Somehow, Alexa suddenly felt that Terrence seemed to have be somewhat different. But he soon prepared the food and called her to dinner. The atmosphere was harmonious and Alexa did not ask for more. However, after dinner, Terrence hurried out again, as if he had business to deal with. Alexa told him toe back early. Two hourster, she received a call from Aron. When Alexa rushed to the hotel room, a man covered in blood was carried away by the medical staff. Aron and a few other men surrounded Terrence. It seemed that a fierce fight had just ended. When Alexa appeared at the door with a cold temperament, Aron showed a bitter smile at her. ¡°Terrence, Alexa is here.¡± ¡°What happened?¡± Alexa spoke coldly. Hearing her voice, Terrence quietly looked up at her. There was still a trace of violence in his eyes, but it was soon reced by a deep sense of guilt and self-me. Alexa saw the wine stains and blood stains on his shirt and frowned. Seeing her reaction, Terrence lowered his head slightly. He said in a low voice. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± Aron saw that everything had been solved, so he immediately dismissed the unrted people around him. ¡°That person was drunk and talking nonsense just now,¡± Aron said casually, ¡°Terrence couldn¡¯t bear it and tried to talk to him.¡± Alexa recalled that person¡¯s injury, thinking there was not just a talk. Terrence was also covered with alcohol, but Alexa knew he was not drunk. She was silent for a few seconds before epting the fact. Terrence saw that she did not speak, feeling anxious. ¡°Alexa, I¡¯m sorry. I¡­¡± ¡°Are you hurt?¡± Alexa said gently, without any anger in her tone. Terrence paused and stared straight at her. ¡°Does it hurt?¡± Alexa took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped off the stains on Terrence¡¯s hands. Then, she reached out and intertwined her fingers with his. ¡°Let¡¯s go home.¡± As soon as the cold wind blew, Terrence noticed that his eyes were full of tears. At that moment, the scorching pain of the strong liquor swept over him crazily, but it could not evenpare with the pain in his heart. Alexa asked the driver to turn on the heater. She carefully helped Terrence into the car and then found a nket to put on him. But Terrence forcibly separated himself from her. ¡°If you are tired, lean on my shoulder.¡± ¡°No, I am not tired.¡± Terrence shook his head. ¡°Liar,¡± Alexa said, and her voice was trembling. ¡°How can you not be tired?¡± She was so distressed. Terrence always looked confident. Alexa even thought that he would never lose and would never make himself in such a sorry state. But now, Terrence looked at her with guilt and caution. ¡°I¡¯m quite dirty,¡± he said. Alexa just turned a deaf ear and ordered. ¡°Come closer.¡± Terrence did not do as she said, so she took the initiative to hug him. Alexa did not mention a word about what happened tonight. ¡°Go home and have a good rest.¡± However, after Terrence took a bath andy on the bed, his body temperature was frighteningly high. Alexa was worried and quickly called for the doctor. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, don¡¯t worry. He just has a fever from a cold.¡± The doctor gave him a fever injection and then prescribed medicine. When Alexa was feeding him the medicine, Terrence suddenly grabbed her wrist firmly. ¡°Alexa, don¡¯t leave¡­ Please don¡¯t leave, okay?¡± ¡°Terrence.¡± Alexa kissed him on the back of his hand. ¡°I won¡¯t leave you.¡± She put the medicine near Terrence¡¯s mouth, but he refused to have it. ¡°Will you leave when I get better?¡± ¡°No.¡± Alexa frowned seriously. ¡°I won¡¯t leave you.¡± After getting the answer, Terrence immediately took the medicine obediently. It was not until midnight that he fell asleep again. Edwin was still waiting at the door respectfully. ¡°Edwin.¡± As soon as Alexa spoke, Edwin exined to her subconsciously. ¡°It happened because that person said something ill. Mrs. Ramsey, don¡¯t worry. I have already dealt with it. No news will be leaked.¡± Alexa knew that it was nothing more than offensive words about her. ¡°You know that this is not what I want to hear.¡± Alexa hit the nail on the head and said, ¡°I want to know something about Terrence.¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey¡­¡± ¡°Is it a psychological problem or another reason?¡± ¡°There is some change in Mr. Ramsey after returning from Ice Floral Ind,¡± Edwin lowered his voice, ¡°The psychologist said that it is a characteristic of paranoia, and it has something to do with you¡­¡± Paranoia? Alexa¡¯s mind went nk, and then she slowly lowered her head. ¡°Mr. Ramsey doesn¡¯t want you to worry, so he refused to admit it.¡± Chapter 381 Chapter 381 Chapter 381 Should I Have Any Other Feelings? To hide it from her¡­ Alexa could not imagine how Terrence had struggled in those nightmares alone. ¡°Alright, I got it.¡± She asked Edwin to go back first and then returned to the room. Terrence was still asleep, but he was already covered with cold sweat. Alexa immediately brought hot water over and carefully wiped his body. But when she touched Terrence¡¯s hand, he instinctively tightened his grip on her and never let go again. ¡°I won¡¯t go, Terrence. I won¡¯t go.¡± Alexaforted him softly. Terrence slowly opened his eyes, and the haze in his eyes quickly dissipated. ¡°Alexa¡­¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Alexa smiled. ¡°I am here.¡± ¡°I think I had a dream just now.¡± ¡°I know.¡± Terrence looked at her and forced himself to sit up, raising his hand to touch his forehead in a daze. ¡°I dreamed that you left me.¡± He muttered to himself, ¡°I clearly know that it was a dream, but¡­¡± ¡°But the reality is I have not left you, and I will never leave you.¡± Alexa¡¯s tone was very gentle, but it was extremely firm and powerful. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. ¡°You have to tell me.¡± She caressed Terrence¡¯s face, her fingertips gently tracing his outline. ¡°You should tell me not only good matters but also bad things because we are a family.¡± Terrence was very insecure. He embraced Alexa in his arms. Her warm and fragrant body was his only medicine. Only when he embraced her in his arms did Terrence feel that he was still alive. Alexa patted his back gently as if she wasforting a child. ¡°Alright, don¡¯t think so much. Go to sleep.¡± Terrence¡¯s fever came down, and Alexa was relieved a lot. He carefully carried her to the bed as if he was protecting a unique piece of art. ¡°Can we cuddle to sleep?¡± In her memory, Terrence seemed to have never made such a request. ¡°Alright!¡± The night passed quickly. When Alexa woke up the next day, there was no one beside her. She suddenly sat up and saw Terrence justing out of the cloakroom. He had already changed into a suit and was standing elegantly in front of the mirror to tie his tie. Alexa leaned on the bed and looked at him for a while. She finally couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Terrence,e over here.¡± Terrence came over very obediently. She got up and stepped on the bed, skillfully helping him tie his tie. Terrence took the opportunity to kiss her on the forehead, and his maic voice was somewhat hoarse. ¡°Thank you for the night.¡± ¡°Then how are you going to thank me?¡± Alexa pursed her lips meaningfully and looked at him from head to toe several times with a faint smile. Terrence had always been her type, and with this elegant suit, there was even more of a sense of abstinence in him. Her gaze was too straightforward, and Terrence quickly realized something. Alexa looked down and seductively hooked his tie with her fingertips. ¡°The tie cannot only be tied around the neck, Mr. Ramsey.¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, where do you think it should be tied?¡± Terrence calmly wrapped his arms around her slender waist. Alexa wouldn¡¯t blush anymore, and her ambiguous words of love were at her disposal. ¡°I order you¡­ to tie my hands.¡± Terrence¡¯s deep eyes instantly filled with unspeakable emotions, and he easily pressed her down on the bed. An hourter, Alexa weakly raised her hand and pushed him on the shoulder. ¡°If you don¡¯t leave now, you will bete for work.¡± Alexa took off his crumpled tie and returned it to him. She asked with a serious expression. ¡°I think you can¡¯t use it anymore. How to do with it?¡± ¡°How did you crumple it just now?¡± Terrence seemed to be more serious than her, making Alexa¡¯s ears feel like burning. ¡°Don¡¯t you know?¡± She smiled yfully. ¡°Or I should write a report and send it to Mr. Ramsey¡¯s office.¡± ¡°Deal.¡± Terrence got up and tidied up his clothes, returning to his gentle and abstinent appearance. ¡°You send it over personally.¡± Alexa sent Terrence to the door and then went to the hospital to see the psychologist, Nancy Baker. The psychologist was an expert introduced by Finley. After Alexa talked to her, Nancy smiled. ¡°Give him a sense of security, and let him feel you are possessive.¡± ¡°Possessive?¡± Alexa was a little surprised. Because she was not worried that Terrence would be snatched away by others, she did not show a strong sense of possessiveness. ¡°Emotional trauma needs time to be recovered. Since you two love each other, it will be easier,¡± Nancy said. ¡°Okay, thank you, Dr. Baker.¡± After Alexa left the office, she found Finley standing not far away. Finley asked, ¡°Are you done?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa nodded calmly. ¡°Aren¡¯t you busy this morning? How is Ms. Crompton?¡± ¡°I just checked her. She¡¯s fine now. She¡¯ll be discharged after a few more days of observation,¡± Finley said. After saying that, Finley subconsciously tugged at his necktie. Alexa then realized that his tie was the one Thalia had chosen that night. ¡°Rayan contacted me. He asked about my rtionship with Thalia,¡± Finley said, expressionless. ¡°Then what did you say?¡± ¡°Just doctor-patient rtionship. When she recovers, I will have nothing to do with her,¡± Finley said calmly. ¡°Do you really not have any other feelings for her?¡± Alexa asked it out of curiosity, but she did not expect Finley to be unhappy about it. ¡°Should I have any other feelings?¡± His dark eyes stared straight at Alexa. ¡°Or did you exchange something with her?¡± ¡°Of course not. How can I control your emotions?¡± Alexa replied resolutely. ¡°If I have to say that, I can give you a clear answer right now.¡± Alexa blinked as she suddenly didn¡¯t dare to look straight at Finley. His eyes were really too cold, as cold as if he had no emotions. ¡°I have never liked her. To me, she is no different from other patients.¡± Alexa was about to respond when she suddenly heard the sound of ss shattering from the corner behind her. Her expression changed, and she quickly turned around and walked over. There was only a broken ss on the ground, and Thalia ran away. With a ¡°bang¡±, she locked the door. ¡°Ms. Crompton! Ms. Crompton?¡± ¡°Go away! Leave me alone. Leave!¡± Thalia shouted at the top of her lungs. Alexa instantly noticed that Thalia was crying. ¡°If you don¡¯t let me in, at least let me know that you are fine now.¡± Alexa talked to her outside the door for a long time. A few minutester, Finley took the key and opened the door without a word. Thalia bent her knees and hid in the corner, staring at them warily. ¡°I¡¯ll handle it,¡± Finley said calmly. Alexa nced at the two of them awkwardly, not knowing what to say. Chapter 382 Chapter 382 Chapter 382 Why Shouldn¡¯t He Care? Alexa then went out and left them in the ward. Finley stood still for a while, silently looking at Thalia. She raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and she found herself ridiculous. ¡°Finley, do you think I¡¯m a bit too cheap?¡± ¡°The ground is cold. Get up.¡± Finley bent down and extended his hand to her. Thalia¡¯s eyes turned cold and instantly pped his hand away. ¡°If you don¡¯t like me, don¡¯t give me hope.¡± Thalia sniffed. ¡°There¡¯s no need to specially take care of my emotions and act in front of me. I¡¯m not that weak.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not acting in front of you.¡± Finley¡¯s gaze was very calm, showing no signs of lying. Thalia was originally quite fascinated by his otherworldly appearance, but now she was a little annoyed. She wondered, why is he able to put on a nonchnt attitude toward everything? ¡°Finley, why did you protect me that night? Why did you ept the tie I gave you?¡± Thalia stood up and grabbed his tie, causing Finley¡¯s neat and meticulous attire to be a little messy. ¡°Do you dare to say that you have no personal feelings for me?¡± Finley sighed helplessly and silently removed her hand. ¡°You don¡¯t know me, so I hope you don¡¯t be so impulsive. Girls are easy to get hurt in a rtionship.¡± ¡°That¡¯s my own business. Just tell me whether you like me or not.¡± Thalia asked bluntly and aggressively. Finley didn¡¯t know what to say. The door wasn¡¯t too soundproof, and Alexa could vaguely hear the sound inside. She couldn¡¯t help but be worried about Finley. But soon, Thalia¡¯s voice softened. She pulled his sleeve like a spoiled child and said. ¡°Dr. McMin?¡± It seemed that it had been settled. Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. Alexa did not worry anymore and nned to return to thepany. However, just as she walked out of the inpatient building, she saw Rayan walking toward her. His face was so gloomy that it was terrifying. Even when he was facing Alexa, he did not pretend to be hypocritical. ¡°Alexa. Have you just met Thalia? I want to see her!¡± Rayan said through gritted teeth. ¡°Sure. Go ahead,¡± Alexa smiled warmly. Even a fool knew that Alexa would not allow Rayan to break into the ward. Rayan sneered and took out an envelope. ¡°Her parents have forgiven me. What do you think you can change?¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa nodded without much patience, looking indifferent. ¡°You still need to go to jail yourself.¡± After Alexa mentioned this matter, Rayan¡¯s face instantly turned pale. ¡°Alexa, what the hell are you talking about? If you dare to smear me, I will never be done with you!¡± ¡°One day you¡¯ll see if I am smearing you. Mr. Biddell, just wait.¡± After saying that, Alexa was no longer in the mood to waste time with him. However, Rayan suddenly caught up to her and grabbed her wrist. ¡°Alexa, if you dare to act recklessly, I will kill you!¡± His strength was very strong, and red marks immediately appeared on Alexa¡¯s skin. The surrounding bodyguards reacted quickly and surrounded him. However, before they could make a move, Alexa was pulled into a warm embrace. Rayan¡¯s aura instantly weakened by half, and Terrence kicked him on the knee, forcing him to take a few steps back. ¡°Terrence.¡± Alexa leaned into his arms. Terrence nodded and protected her, his angry eyes staring at Rayan. Terrence didn¡¯t restrain his strength when he kicked Rayan just now. Although Rayan managed to stabilize himself, he was also in a very sorry state. ¡°Mr. Ramsey¡­¡± His face was ashen. ¡°I just¡­¡± Terrence nced at the bodyguards next to him. Those people immediately understood and escorted Rayan out. Feeling the anger rising around his body, Alexa smiled gently. ¡°I¡¯m fine, don¡¯t be nervous.¡± Sensing her movement of pulling his sleeve, Terrence immediately held her hand to check her. Alexa¡¯s skin was tender, and even a little bit of force would leave a mark on her skin. ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Terrence took her to the doctor. The injury was not serious, and the doctor allowed her to leave after the treatment. On the way back, Alexa felt that Terrence was still in a very bad mood. ¡°I¡¯ll kill him,¡± Terrence said with a cold face. ¡°He will have his own punishment.¡± Terrence held her hand, but he did not use as much force as usual. ¡°Why did you suddenlye over?¡± ¡°I came to see you.¡± The coldness in Terrence¡¯s eyes finally eased. ¡°I haven¡¯t seen you for a whole morning. I miss you, so I came.¡± Alexa smiled and leaned over to him intimately. ¡°Why are you so clingy?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you like it?¡± ¡°I do.¡± Alexa looked at him. Terrence leaned over and curled his lips. Alexa gave him a gentle kiss on his neck. However, just as she stood up, she caught a glimpse of the figures not far away. Thalia and Finley walked out of the ward together and stood at the door, looking at them. Finley subconsciously tugged at his tie and coughed with an unnatural expression. Thalia stood next to Finley and looked at them with a smile. Alexa was suddenly a little embarrassed, but Terrence held her in his arms and refused to let go. Finley walked away, but Thalia went forward to greet Alexa. ¡°Alexa, let me buy you a cup of coffee.¡± Although it was just a normal invitation, Thalia saw the rejection in Terrence¡¯s eyes. It looked like he did not want Alexa to be snatched away by others. This man¡¯s possessiveness was really strong. Thalia had seen many men, but none of them were like Terrence. After Alexa exined, Terrence agreed. ¡°I will wait for you in the garage,¡± Terrence said. As soon as Terrence left, Thalia couldn¡¯t wait to say. ¡°Alexa, how long have you been together? Why are you still the same as a young couple who just fell in love?¡± Alexa smiled. ¡°Do we? We are just a normal couple.¡± ¡°The way he looks at you is so clingy. He is quite possessive.¡± Thalia was envious. Alexa skipped the topic and asked. ¡°How is your conversation with Finley?¡± ¡°Nothing special.¡± Thalia shrugged. She was not as emotional as before. But Alexa still noticed the half-smile on her face. ¡°He is too stubborn.¡± After saying that, Thaliaughed. ¡°In fact, he might think that I am not worthy of him. After all, how can someone as outstanding as him like me?¡± ¡°You have your own brilliance. Those who like you will definitely find it out.¡± Alexa kindly advised her, but Thalia did not seem to listen. Her obsession with Finley had far exceeded Alexa¡¯s imagination. ¡°I don¡¯t care. Anyway, I just like him, the kind of love at first sight. If he can¡¯t find it out, I will put it in front of him and let him see it!¡± Thalia smiled. Chapter 383 Chapter 383 Chapter 383 I Don¡¯t Want to Quarrel Either Alexa listened silently without making anyments. She did not know what Finley had just said to Thalia. In short, she looked quite happy now. The two of them chatted for a while, and Alexa¡¯s phone rang. Thalia understood and blinked. ¡°Hurry up and go over. Don¡¯t let Mr. Ramsey wait too long.¡± When Alexa arrived at the garage, Edwin was standing in front of Terrence and reporting something. She stood still not too far away and did not walk too close. Terrence¡¯s face was a little gloomy. It seemed to be a tricky matter. But after seeing Alexa, Terrence waved his hand to let Edwin leave, and he then rxed. ¡°Are you done talking?¡± He asked gently, carefully opening the door for her. ¡°Yes, we talked a little.¡± Alexa fastened her seat belt. ¡°Did I disturb your work?¡± ¡°Now you are my work.¡± After Terrence finished speaking, he personally drove away from the hospital. His phone kept ringing, and Alexa had a bad feeling. However, Terrence did not intend to answer it at all and directly muted it. ¡°If you have something to do, go and do it first.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Terrence¡¯s expression still did not change. Alexa did not ask again, and she changed the topic. ¡°Then where are we going now?¡± ¡°Jade Bay.¡± Terrence said, ¡°We can stay there for a few days.¡± Although he said it casually, Alexa¡¯s face instantly became serious. ¡°Did something happen to thepany?¡± ¡°No,¡± He chuckled. ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous. We will just stay for a few days.¡± Jade Bay¡­ Thinking of that ce, Alexa did not have a good memory. Although Jade Bay was a high-end residential area, it was far away from the downtown area of New York. It was basically a state of istion from the outside world. That year, Terrence sent her to Jade Bay because the media was smearing her, and there were even people who directly revealed her identity information. If there wasn¡¯t such a tricky matter, it would be absolutely impossible for Terrence to suddenly send her away. But this time, he still refused to say anything. Alexa suddenly felt gloomy. ¡°Are you still going to hide it from me? You want to carry it alone again? Then what is the meaning of my existence?¡± ¡°Alexa, I didn¡¯t mean this.¡± Although Terrence¡¯s tone was very gentle, it carried an irresistible intent. ¡°Trust me. I will handle it.¡± N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. ¡°I don¡¯t want to be hidden. At least tell me what happened.¡± ¡°Thepany¡¯s matter is not a big deal to me. I just don¡¯t want those people to hurt you.¡± The shadow in Terrence¡¯s eyes deepened a little. ¡°Be good. I¡¯ll send you and Damar over.¡± Seeing that he still refused to say anything, Alexa instantly got even angrier. ¡°Stop the car! I won¡¯t dy your work. I¡¯ll go back myself,¡± Alexa said unhappily. Terrence continued to exin patiently, ¡°Alexa, I¡¯m not going to quarrel with you. I¡¯m just¡­¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to quarrel either.¡± ¡°I promised you that I would help Thalia send Rayan to prison. I will do what I say. Don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°This matter is not the main point.¡± Alexa was so anxious, but Terrence still remained calm. In the end, she did not say anything. After Terrence parked the car at the door of the house, she got off and entered without a word. Terrence originally wanted to go in and coax her, but his phone kept ringing. He was too busy to deal with both, so he had to rush to thepany first. After Alexa returned home, Damarion still rushed over like usual. She picked up her son indifferently and let Yareli pack her luggage. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, why are you suddenly packing up?¡± Yareli asked in a panic. Alexa did not say much, only leaving behind a muffled sentence. ¡°We will go back to the Duran¡¯s house.¡± Seeing that Alexa¡¯s expression was not good, Yareli did not dare to ask any further and could only pack up a few clothes. After the luggage was ready, the Duran family¡¯s car stopped outside. Just as they got into the car, Christina called. ¡°Alexa, I heard that you and Damar moved out?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa did not deny it. ¡°I don¡¯t really want to see him right now.¡± Even she herself found it ridiculous. Even now, she still had a conflict with Terrence for such an unclear reason. She thought, maybe he has never intended to tell me so much. He still doesn¡¯t trust me enough. Alexa was even angrier and asked the driver to drive directly to the Duran¡¯s house. ¡°I wille over now.¡± Christina had always been swift and decisive. She immediately had people arrange a flight. Scott¡¯s trusted aide did not allow her to leave, but Christina did not care at all. ¡°I have already submitted a divorcewsuit to the court. If he wakes up, tell him to sign it.¡± A person in the family med her and said, ¡°Why are you so ruthless? You should take care of him right now. If you leave now, and something happens to him, who will take the responsibility?¡± ¡°I will.¡± Keyon¡¯s cold voice sounded, and the whispers around him immediately disappeared. Even the people who had made things difficult for Christina just now shut their mouths. His sharp eyes swept over everyone present. Then Keyon helped Christina straighten her cor. ¡°Have a nice journey.¡± Keyon rarely smiled. He personally sent someone to escort Christina away, so the others did not dare to say anything. When Terrence received Keyon¡¯s call, he had just attended a meeting. He pinched his brow tiredly, but Keyon got straight to the point. ¡°My sister went back to the Duran¡¯s house. What happened to you? Did you Quarrel?¡± ¡°Go back?¡± Terrence was stunned, thinking about this sentence in his heart. ¡°Alright.¡± Hepromised, ¡°I will send someone to protect her. You can rest assured.¡± ¡°What about you?¡± Keyon suddenly said, ¡°I heard that Derick escaped to New York. Jovan should being over soon. When the timees, even you will get involved.¡± ¡°I know.¡± Terrence¡¯s tone was normal, not surprised at all. He was so calm that Keyon was a little shocked. ¡°Alexa didn¡¯t know it, did she?¡± Terrence did not reply, but Keyon already understood. No wonder Alexa was so angry that she went back¡­ ¡°You have to at least protect yourself. After it¡¯s over, you should exin it to her.¡± It was rare for Keyon to say it. Terrence was thinking about Alexa. He still couldn¡¯t help but call Alexa, but she didn¡¯t answer at all. It seemed that she was really angry. Terrence sighed, not knowing what to do with it, and his heart was full of guilt. Alexa watched coldly as the phone stopped ringing, and then she went to y with Damarion. Christina arrived in New York that night, and Henry drove her to the Duran¡¯s house. When Henry saw Alexa and Damarion, he greeted them gently. ¡°Let¡¯s go in.¡± Christina held his arm intimately. They were as intimate as a loving couple. Chapter 384 Chapter 384 Chapter 384 Dr. McMin Has a Crush on Someone Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Seeing that Alexa and Damarion were looking at them, Henry reluctantly let go of Christina. ¡°Let me help you with your luggage.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Christina nodded and straightened the shawl. Alexa let Yareli carry Damarion away and then went to the backyard with Christina. ¡°Mom, what is going on with you? Are you officially together?¡± Alexa asked curiously. Christina exined lightly, ¡°No, we had a fight yesterday. Can¡¯t you tell it?¡± Alexa was lost for words. Alexa thought about how intimate Henry and Christina were and did not see that they had fought. Alexa shook her head. ¡°No, I cannot.¡± ¡°A woman wanted to go on a date with Henry, and I caught them. Although he refused, I was unhappy.¡± Christina saidzily. After finishing speaking, Christina raised her hand. Alexa saw the dazzling diamond ring and was shocked. ¡°Henry bought it today to apologize. He followed me all the way to New York. What a stubborn man!¡± Christina smiled easily. Alexa quietly listened to Christina show off. Then Christina suddenly changed the topic, and her expression became serious. ¡°What happened between you and Terrence?¡± As soon as this matter was brought up, Alexa¡¯s face darkened. ¡°He has something to hide from me. This is not the first time this has happened,¡± Alexa grunted. ¡°Did he cheat on you?¡± ¡°No.¡± Alexa was certain about this. Christina said skillfully, ¡°It¡¯s no big deal. Every couple will fight. And they will make up after the misunderstanding is cleared. And I think Terrence is a good man.¡± ¡°You are so partial to him.¡± ¡°I have seen him care about you.¡± Christina smiled elegantly, and her tone was serious. ¡°Alexa, that kind of deep affection cannot be fake. I often think that if something really happens to you, then Terrence will be the most painful person.¡± Hearing Christina say this, Alexa became even more depressed. Alexa regretted moving to the Duran¡¯s home. She wanted to have a good talk with Terrence, but he guarded against her like she was a thief, afraid that she would know something. Now, Alexa could not even get through to Terrence. ¡°Forget it. We¡¯ll talk about itter.¡± Alexa gave up. In fact, she was still angry at Terrence. Alexa and Christina entered the living room together. Henry was sitting on the sofa and carefully holding Damarion. When he saw Alexa and Christina, he forced a smile at them. ¡°Sorry, I have never held a child before. Is hefortable?¡± Henry carefully adjusted his posture so that Damarion could lie in his arms. Henry¡¯s neat suit had been dreadfully ravaged by Damarion. ¡°Damar!¡± Alexa shouted anxiously and quickly went over to take Damarion. It seemed that it was not a good thing for her son to be a born socializer¡­ Alexa blushed with shame and apologized with a proper attitude. ¡°Henry, I¡¯m sorry. Damar is too naughty.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Henry calmly tidied up his clothes and smiled warmly. ¡°Damar is very cute.¡± ¡°Damar is close to you.¡± Christina casually mentioned, ¡°Damar is afraid of strangers, but he is not afraid of you.¡± ¡°It means that we are a family.¡± Alexa was perceptive and tried to set up Christina and Henry. ¡°Alexa¡­¡± Christina pouted and smiled. The night was peaceful. The next morning, the Duran¡¯s home was bustling with noise and excitement. Christina used the excuse of relieving Alexa¡¯s boredom and invited the surroundingdies over. Alexa was not of the same age as them, so she had nothing to talk about with them. But because Alexa was Terrence¡¯s wife, many nobledies wanted to make friends with her and get some resources for their husbands. Alexa was in a bad mood, so no one dared to speak rashly. However, Alexa did not object to such entertainment. After all, her mother seemed to be very happy. Christina had never had such an experience before and even felt that it was novel. She and Henry chatted andughed. Everyone was cheerful. Alexa sat aside and spent her time on her phone aimlessly. Christina took the time to nce at Alexa and said straightforwardly. ¡°If you want to call, then go ahead. Stop rubbing against your phone.¡± Alexa was speechless. She was embarrassed to be caught by her own mother on the spot. ¡°Who says I¡¯m going to make a call?¡± Alexa stood up in low spirits. ¡°I¡¯ll take Damar to the yard.¡± Damarion was having a good time with thosedies and was not willing to go with Alexa at all. Alexa had to go to the yard to bask in the sun alone. It just so happened that someone paid a visit. Finley stood at the door with a gift, looking very devout, and the person beside him¡­ Alexa¡¯s eyes lit up, and she opened the door. ¡°I heard that Christina came to New Yorkst night. I¡¯m here to see her.¡± Alexa casually answered, ¡°Yes. She¡¯s ying cards in the living room. Don¡¯t talk to her about academic issues.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa let Finley in. When Terrence wanted toe in with Finley, Alexa stepped forward to block the door. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Alexa said faintly angrily, ¡°It¡¯s not enough for me to go back to my mother¡¯s home. Do you want to lock me up in Jade Bay?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t mean that.¡± Terrence smiled, ¡°I came to see you, Damar, and Christina.¡± Terrence was in a suit, but he had dark circles under his eyes. It was obvious that he did not have a good restst night. Alexa immediately softened. ¡°Can we talk now?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Alexa.¡± Terrence changed the topic. ¡°I have to go to thepanyter, so can we talk about itter?¡± Alexa took a deep breath and suppressed her displeasure.She frowned and replied, ¡°Okay!¡± ¡°The weather has been changeable recently. Take good care of yourself.¡± There was no anger on Terrence¡¯s face, and he was gentle. ¡°It¡¯s cold, so make sure to bundle up. I¡¯ll get someone to send over the new fashionable dress.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Alexa stubbornly avoided Terrence¡¯s gaze. ¡°I¡¯m not cold.¡± ¡°Alexa¡­¡± ¡°Alright, hurry up and leave. I don¡¯t want to dy your business,¡± Alexa said impatiently. With that, Alexa closed the door and left without looking back. Terrence watched Alexa¡¯s back and knew that Alexa hadpletely disappeared from the courtyard. Only then did he drive away reluctantly. On the way, Edwin called. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, it has been arranged.¡± ¡°Well, don¡¯t make any mistakes.¡± Terrence¡¯s gaze was cold to the bone. The Duran¡¯s home was still lively. Finley attracted everyone¡¯s attention as soon as he arrived. Christina couldn¡¯t wait to call him over as if he were her son. ¡°This is my student.¡± Christina said warmly, ¡°He is a medical expert. He is both talented and handsome.¡± The richdies all looked at Finley with smiles. Alexa suddenly had a bad feeling. As expected, in the next second, Christina added. ¡°But he is unmarried.¡± ¡°It just happens that my daughter is also unmarried. Dr. McMin, do you want to get to know each other?¡± someone asked. Finley probably had never dealt with such a difficult problem. Alexa¡¯s eyelids fluttered, and she stepped forward to help him out. ¡°Mom, Dr. McMin has a crush on someone.¡± Chapter 385 Chapter 385 Chapter 385 It¡¯s Just an Ordinary Girl ¡°Is that so?¡± Christina eximed in surprise. A hint of disappointment appeared in the eyes of the other noble ladies. ¡°Who is she?¡± Christina grew even more curious. ¡°Why haven¡¯t I heard you mention it before? Why don¡¯t you bring her back tonight?¡± ¡°Mom¡­¡± Alexa said weakly, but she did not dampen Christina¡¯s enthusiasm at all. Finley replied gently, ¡°She is just an ordinary girl, not some rich young miss. Christina, if you want to see her, I will bring her over to meet you tonight.¡± ¡°Good!¡± Christina immediately beamed with joy. She did not bother with ying cards and started to prepare dinner. Alexa looked at Finley curiously and quietly moved up to him before asking. ¡°Who is it? Do I know her?¡± Finley looked at Alexa without any change in expression. There was no extra emotion in his eyes. ¡°No, you don¡¯t.¡± Alexa grasped in curiosity and did not ask any more questions. Christina meant to hold a family banquet to wee Finley¡¯s sweetheart and introduce Henry. ¡°Remember to call Terrence over tonight.¡± This was Christina¡¯s request, and Alexa did not dare to refuse. ¡°He is busy,¡± Alexa said awkwardly. Christina returned with authority, ¡°No matter how busy he is, there should be time for a meal, right? Take this opportunity to have a good chat. Lovers¡¯ quarrels are soon mended.¡± Under Christina¡¯s repeated requests, Alexa contacted Edwin. Edwin¡¯s phone was on speaker, and Terrence heard it clearly from aside. Edwin saw a bright smile appear on his boss¡¯ gloomy face. Terrence nodded and motioned for Edwin to agree. Alexa knew that Terrence was definitely around, so she rxed a lot. Christina did not seem to be worried that Alexa would have any conflict with Terrence. Ever since the banquet had been arranged, Christina no longer asked about Alexa and Terrence. Alexa was a little depressed. Damarion tugged at her sleeve and mored to go out to y. Alexa had no choice but to take Damarion to the nearby amusement park. When Alexa wasn¡¯t paying attention, Damarion broke free from Yareli¡¯s hand and ran away. ¡°Damar!¡± Yareli turned pale with fright and hurriedly chased after him. Alexa wanted to stop Damarion, but it was toote. Damarion staggered and was about to fall to the ground when he was suddenly held by warm arms. ¡°Little boy, you can¡¯t run around.¡± Irvin¡¯s gentle voice sounded, but Alexa¡¯s expression changed in fright. She pulled Damarion over with a cold face. Damarion was frightened and curled his lips. He felt wronged. However, Alexa did notfort Damarion as gently as usual. Damarion realized that something was wrong, and tears welled up in his eyes. Yareli silently carried Damarion away. Alexa was distant as she stared at Irvin vigntly. Irvin smiled indifferently and did not take the hostility Alexa showed to heart at all. ¡°There¡¯s no need, Ms. Duran. My sister and your brother are officially engaged. From now on, we are a family.¡± ¡°Mr. Niebergall, don¡¯t tter yourself.¡± Alexa was not nice to Irvin. The surrounding bodyguards had surrounded Irvin vigntly. Although there was no conflict, it attracted the attention of many passers-by. ¡°We just have to keep a distance.¡± ¡°If the Duran family cooperates with the Niebergall family, I will let go of what you have done to me before.¡± ¡°Is that so? Don¡¯t you know you from the Niebergall family or the Clough family?¡± Alexa sneered. ¡°Alexa!¡± Alexa touched Irvin¡¯s raw nerve, and his veins bulged on his forehead. Irvin hated it the most when others talked about his origin! Alexa was courting death! Seeing that Irvin had the intention to make a move, Alexa was calm. ¡°If you make a move, Mr. Niebergall, you will be famous.¡± Their identities were unusual at first nce. If they were photographed, and the video was posted online, things would blow up. Irvin¡¯s face was ashen with rage, but he did not dare to do anything. When Alexa turned around, she saw Terrenceing out of the car. Terrence was in a ck suit, looking particrly cold and proud in the evening sun. Irvin nced at Terrence provocatively and left without looking back. When Damarion saw Terrence, he couldn¡¯t wait to run toward Terrence. Terrence picked up his son and obediently followed Alexa. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Terrence didn¡¯t mention anything about Irvin. ¡°Christina just called me and urged me. The banquet will start soon.¡± Alexa gave Terrence a meaningful look and felt a little rxed. ¡°She misses you very much,¡± Alexa said indifferently. ¡°She is worried about you.¡± Damarion knew how to read the room. He was smiling and winking at Alexa. But Alexa did not fall for his trick, directly looking at Terrence with anger. ¡°Your son is too infuriating!¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Terrence nodded obediently. Then, Terrence patted Damarion¡¯s butt with a serious expression. ¡°Don¡¯t make your mom angry.¡± Damarion gingerly looked at Alexa. She did not say anything, and it seemed that her anger had not subsided. Terrence was clear that it was definitely not just because of Damarion. When Edwin opened the car door for them, Terrence casually ordered. ¡°Go and check Irvin¡¯s schedule for the past few days and whom he met.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± They went straight back to the Duran¡¯s home. The dinner was almost ready, and the living room was lively. When Alexa and the others entered the room, the people inside looked at them. ¡°Ms. Duran, Mr. Ramsey.¡± The girl next to Finley gracefully and generously got up to greet them. Alexa felt a bit reserved and smiled at her politely. This girl looked about the same age as Thalia, but she was not as lively as Thalia. She sat next to Finley in a dignified manner. Her every word and action revealed her excellent upbringing, like a delicate flower growing in a warm room since she was young. ¡°This is Abbey Sully.¡± Finley introduced. Alexa nodded in realization and asked familiarly. ¡°Are you Dr. McMin¡¯s girlfriend?¡± Hearing this, Abbey instantly blushed. She lowered her head shyly and leaned towards Finley. ¡°They haven¡¯t officially gotten together yet,¡± Christina said thoughtfully, ¡°Finley is chasing after her. Terrence, why don¡¯t you give Finley some experience?¡± Alexa smiled and looked at Terrence thoughtfully. Terrence pulled Alexa over and said with a serious face. ¡°True love is supreme.¡± Alexa felt as if her face was burning, and she embarrassedly rubbed against Terrence¡¯s chest. Christina had a sweet smile on her face, and she looked at Henry shyly. ¡°Did you hear that?¡± she asked. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Yes, I did,¡± Henry said dotingly. However, Alexa couldn¡¯t believe it. She quietly sent a message to Finley. ¡°Are you and Thalia truly over?¡± Finley looked at his phone, but he did not reply. Alexa saw Finley hold Abbey¡¯s hand. Chapter 386 Chapter 386 Chapter 386 Can I Chase You? Finley¡¯s sudden nice behavior surprised Abbey. Abbey was shy and quickly blushed. She nced at Finley bashfully. Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. Alexa understood what he meant. However, Finley made an excuse and left the banquet directly. Then, she received a message from Finley. ¡°What do you think of Thalia and me?¡± This message seemed to have a sense of me. Alexa did feel that she had crossed the line. Before she could reply, Terrence reached out and locked the phone screen. He said in a deep voice, ¡°Let it go.¡± Christina looked imperceptibly at their interaction and gave a meaningful smile. Alexa was so angry yesterday. It seems that she has been reconciled with Terrence today. Terrence was quite good atforting people. Halfway through the meal, Alexa was willing to talk to him again. Terrence felt relieved and continued to put food on Alexa¡¯s te. Everything was fine till Alexa suddenly pressed against his chest, retching. ¡°Alexa, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Christina immediately became nervous. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Just as Alexa finished speaking, she felt more nauseous. ¡°Sorry¡­¡± She ran to the bathroom in a hurry. Terrence immediately followed. Alexa leaned over the sink and kept retching ufortably for a while. Terrence handed a ss of water to her and asked Edwin to bring the car around. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the hospital now.¡± Terrence seemed a little nervous. When Alexa felt better, her face paled visibly. However, she still gave a rxing smile. ¡°What if I¡¯m pregnant?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go to the hospital first.¡± With his palms sweating, Terrence held her in his arms and walked out. Christina had been a doctor for many years, but she was also nervous right now. She didn¡¯t even check Alexa¡¯s health and urged Terrence to take Alexa to the hospital. When Finley returned, the banquet was already a mess. Abbey stepped forward and held his hand. She said worriedly, ¡°Alexa did not look good. Mr. Ramsey took her to the hospital.¡± When Finley heard this, a trace of worry shed across Finley¡¯s eyes. ¡°I¡¯m going to the hospital now.¡± He replied in a t tone and let go of Abbey¡¯s hand. With an effort, she managed to make some progress with Finley. Abbey didn¡¯t want to miss this chance and quickly chased after him. After arriving at the hospital, the doctor quickly arranged a full body check. Alexa was sitting at the examination table, with only Terrence beside her. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about me,¡± Sheforted him. ¡°I will be fine.¡± ¡°I know. Sweetie.¡± Terrence stroked her hair, his eyes full of worry and expectation. Waiting seemed long and tortured at this moment. Terrence was too nervous to sit on the chair. ¡°I might not be pregnant.¡± Alexa had regained herposure. ¡°Recently¡­ you have used condoms.¡± ¡°It is not always effective.¡± Alexa knew that Terrence cared about her health, so he would not let her take the risk of an unexpected pregnancy. When Finley and Abbey arrived, Thalia happened to pass by. She came to see a gynecologist and did not expect to see Finley here. Thalia subconsciously hid her report. Seeing Finley holding the hand of an unfamiliar girl, Thalia got jealous and walked over. ¡°Dr. McMin, what a coincidence.¡± Thalia greeted with a smile. ¡°Are youing to work overtime?¡± Christina saw the girl in front of her and looked curiously at Finley. ¡°Finley, do you know her?¡± ¡°Hello, Ma¡¯am,¡± Thalia replied politely. ¡°My name is Thalia Crompton. I¡¯m Dr. McMin¡¯s¡­¡± She deliberately paused and looked at Finley¡¯s expression. Thalia continued, ¡°Patient.¡± ¡°I see.¡± Christina nodded. ¡°Nice to meet you.¡± But Abbey felt that something was wrong. Thalia looked at Finley as if they were very familiar with each other. ¡°Dr. McMin, are you friends with Ms. Crompton?¡± Abbey asked softly. ¡°Just as she just said.¡± Finley¡¯s dark eyes stared straight at Thalia. ¡°She is my patient.¡± Abbey didn¡¯t believe that. Since Finley had already said so, she didn¡¯t ask further. ¡°d to meet you. Is this youngdy also Dr. McMin¡¯s patient?¡± ¡°No!¡± Abbey immediately denied, ¡°We¡­¡± Finley had not acknowledged their rtionship. Abbey¡¯s voice died down. Christina also noticed something wrong. At this moment, Terrence and Alexa came out of the examination room. They hurriedly went up to ask for results. ¡°What did the doctor say?¡± Christina said impatiently, ¡°Let me see.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just a cold,¡± Alexa slowly exined. ¡°Perhaps I caught a coldst night.¡± ¡°Mom, I¡¯m sorry for not taking good care of her,¡± Terrence said sincerely. ¡°I will take Alexa home tonight.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Christina let out a sigh of relief and saw them off at the entrance of the hospital. Finley did not n to leave with them. Abbey wanted to apany him, but Finley sent her away. ¡°Go home and get some rest.¡± ¡°Dr. McMin, aren¡¯t you going to give me a ride? I dare not go home alone.¡± Abbey asked sweetly, which aroused the man¡¯s desire to protect her. Thalia found that Finley really bought such a trick. He was cold and abstinent on the outside but wild on the inside. ¡°Wait for me in the car. I¡¯lle after changing my clothes.¡± ¡°OK.¡± Abbey deliberately threw herself into Finley¡¯s arms in front of Thalia. ¡°Come down quick. I will wait for you.¡± ¡°OK.¡± Thalia witnessed the whole process with a half-smile. It was not until Abbey left that she sat next to Finley. ¡°Dr. McMin, I find that you could be a good two-timer.¡± After Thalia finished speaking, her smile became colder. Finley remained unmoved as if he did not listen at all. ¡°Another girl in such a short time. Are you serious this time? You even brought her to see your parents.¡± ¡°It has nothing to do with you,¡± Finley replied coldly, ¡°This is my private matter.¡± ¡°Since it¡¯s your private matter, it has something to do with me.¡± Thalia lifted her foot and yed footsie with Finley. ¡°Finley, can I chase you?¡± ¡°No way.¡± Finley turned around and left,pletely ignoring her. ¡°Don¡¯t regret it. Maybe there will be a day when you beg me.¡± ¡°Impossible.¡± Alexa chuckled with interest.She put herself back together and left. Surprisingly, she met Christina at the corner. ¡°Hello, Ma¡¯am.¡± Christina¡¯s face remained kind and showed no signs of anger. ¡°Ms. Crompton, what happened between you and Finley? Could you tell me?¡± Thalia did not feel guilty. She gave a frank answer. ¡°I am pestering him.¡± ¡°Finley seems to have a special attitude towards you,¡± Christina asked patiently. ¡°What happened between you two?¡± ¡°Ma¡¯am, if there was anything going on between us, he would probably have married me already.¡± ¡°He has fallen for someone. It¡¯s the girl you just met.¡± Christina said straightforwardly to let Thalia abandon her thoughts. Chapter 387 Chapter 387 Chapter 387 He Is My Destiny ¡°Is that so?¡± Thalia hesitated but said nothing, just smiling innocently at Christina. Christina felt confused. What a strange girl! Thalia didn¡¯t seem like one of those young girls of wealth, much less the type that Finley liked. After getting into the car with Terrence, Alexa received a message from Thalia to tell her about what had just happened. Alexa identally turned on the speakerphone and Thalia¡¯s voice suddenly rang out. ¡°Finley is a yboy, although he covered it up well on the surface. Is Terrence the same?¡± ¡°Ahem¡­¡± Awkwardly, Alexa nced at Terrence. ¡°A yboy?¡± Terrence repeated the word. ¡°She¡¯s just gossiping!¡± Alexa said in embarrassment, ¡°Don¡¯t take it seriously!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not like him.¡± ¡°I know.¡± Alexa muttered, not intending to make things difficult for him on this matter at all.But Terrence suddenly turned to her. ¡°I don¡¯t y around even in private.¡± Exclusive content from N?velDrama.Org. ¡°I know you don¡¯t.¡± Alexa nodded and looked upzily. ¡°You are the type of man who would only have sex with the one specific woman he loves. I like that.¡± Terrence¡¯s hand that was holding the steering wheel tightened, and his knuckles turned white. Alexa smiled. ¡°What are you so nervous about? You act like a college boy!¡± ¡°We¡¯ll discuss it when we get home.¡± ¡°Discuss what?¡± Terrence¡¯s expression became even more strange. ¡°I don¡¯t want to talk about it now.¡± ¡°Fine,¡± Alexa raised her hand innocently, ¡°You¡¯re blushing, by the way.¡± Terrence¡¯s blood surged and he almost stepped on the wrong brake. Alexa went on reading the messages from Thalia toin about Finley. In just a few minutes, Thalia had sent several messages over. ¡°If he doesn¡¯t like you, why force him? There are still many good men in the world.¡± ¡°No,¡± Thalia answered simply, ¡°He is the only one I want.¡± There were a lot of people we would run into in life, but some of them were destiny. Right now, that was exactly what Thalia felt about Finley. Alexa could not understand. She did not know what to say. The reason why Finley kept changing girlfriends was partly for Thalia to see. Thalia must know it, too. But it seemed that Thalia was to continue pretending. What a perfect match the two for each other! Alexa sighed. Just then, Finley called. ¡°Is Thalia with you?¡± His tone was as sharp as ice. ¡°Ah¡­, No,¡± Alexa was puzzled, ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°Nothing,¡± Finley¡¯s attitude eased a little, ¡°I thought she ran away with you.¡± The worry in his words was not fake. ¡°Since you¡¯re worried about her, why didn¡¯t you just call her?¡± There was a moment of silence on the other side of the line. Then, Finley resolutely denied it. ¡°I¡¯m not worried about her. I just don¡¯t want to cause trouble for myself.¡± ¡°I see¡­,¡± Alexa replied meaningfully. Then, she changed the topic, ¡°Thalia contacted me just now.¡± ¡°What did she say?¡± ¡°I won¡¯t tell you,¡± Alexa chuckled, ¡°If you want to know, ask her yourself.¡± Alexa hung up the phone, not giving Finley a chance to ask questions. Terrence didn¡¯t care about Finley or Thalia, but now, Alexa was involved. ¡°What exactly happened between them?¡± ¡°What do you think?¡± Alexa threw the question back. ¡°One refused to let go and the other refused to admit it,¡± Terrence frowned, ¡°How strange!¡± ¡°You¡¯re right,¡± Alexa nodded in approval and looked at Terrence¡¯s profile with a meaningful gaze, ¡°Then can you tell me now what exactly are you hiding from me?¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes flickered. But just when he was about to speak, Terrence noticed something from the rearview mirror. There was a car following them. Alexa also noticed it, but she sneered disdainfully. ¡°What is that?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. Trust me.¡± Alexa was not nervous at all. Instead, she smiled brightly. ¡°Honey, you know I always trust you.¡± Terrence flexibly manipted the steering wheel and quickly shook off the car that was following them. Edwin sent more people, and Alexa soon heard an extremely harsh sound of frictioning from the corner behind them. ¡°It¡¯s fine,¡± Terrence said calmly. Terrence sent Alexa safely home. Soon, Edwin came to report the situation. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, we¡¯ve taken care of those people.¡± ¡°Edwin,¡± Alexa shouted out, ¡°Who are they?¡± ¡°Rayan¡¯s men,¡± Edwin replied calmly. The night passed quickly. The next day, the news broke out that Rayan had used his position to embezzle huge amounts of public funds. Now with the evidence provided by Thalia, Rayan was jailed. The Biddell family copsed overnight. Raymond and Melody came to plead with Terrence, but he did not see them at all. ¡°The best Rayan could get is life imprisonment,¡± Alexa read the document calmly, ¡°Is that what Raymond and Melody want?¡± ¡°I won¡¯t let him get away so easily,¡± Terrence said indifferently. If Rayan had not taken the riskst night and attempted to kill him and Alexa, Terrence would not have been so ruthless. ¡°Thalia has already gone to see him,¡± Alexa was rxed, ¡°It¡¯s time to end this all.¡± Rayan did not expect Thalia to see him. They sat opposite each other through the ss barrier. Rayan¡¯s haggard face already had stubble, while Thalia was smiling. ¡°Do you know how long I¡¯ve waited for this moment?¡± Thalia said calmly, ¡°It has been four years.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Rayan muttered, a look of disbelief shing across his eyes. ¡°Do you really think I would forgive you, Rayan?¡± Thalia was almost about tough, ¡°Every time I see you, I want you dead.¡± ¡°Did you collude with Terrence against me? Bitch! I will kill you when I get out!¡± Rayan got up in a rage, but he was stopped by two prison guards in an Instant. ¡°Let¡¯s talk about it if you coulde out alive,¡± Thalia sneered, ¡°Your parents wanted to force me to write a letter of understanding. How ridiculous!¡± ¡°Thalia, I have treated you well, haven¡¯t I?¡± ¡°Rayan, I will make you suffer a thousand times as much as I had. The days are still long.¡± Thalia¡¯s words chilled Rayan. But before he could scream, Rayan was taken back by the prison guards. Thalia came out of the prison and saw the clear and cloudless sky. She narrowed her eyes and looked up. Only then did she feel a trace of warmth around her. ¡°Four years¡­¡± Thalia smiled bitterly and vaguely saw a figure standing in the distance. Finley stood straight by the car and looked at her quietly. When Thalia saw him, he still had a smile on his face. ¡°Are you waiting for me?¡± Finley showed no expression, even his tone was t. ¡°She asked me to pick you up.¡± Thalia knew that the ¡°she¡± Finley was talking about was Alexa. ¡°Thank you foring.¡± Chapter 388 Chapter 388 Chapter 388 To Me, She Is Very Important ¡°There¡¯s nothing to thank me for,¡± Finley said nonchntly, ¡°I just happened to be off duty today.¡± Thalia smiled sweetly and walked quickly to his side. ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°Fine, whatever.¡± Finley fastened his seat belt and yed the driver. Thalia looked at Finley¡¯s slender fingers. She was so tempted. ¡°Finley, is it possible between us?¡± ¡°Sit tight.¡± ¡°Finley, give me a chance to date you.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll send you to the Ramsey¡¯s ce first.¡± ¡°Finley, can you understand what I¡¯m saying?¡± Finley said nothing. ¡°Finley!¡± Thalia protested coquettishly, her tone full ofint and coquetry. Her voice was soft and coy, which waspletely ipatible with her usual free and tough image. Finley gritted his teeth and frowned, unable to bear it any longer. ¡°Please act normal.¡± ¡°I was acting normal just now, but you didn¡¯t listen.¡± ¡°That¡¯s impossible. Don¡¯t do that,¡± Finely said decisively. Thalia immediately curled her lips. ¡°I don¡¯t believe your words because you are now in a passion.¡± Finley twitched the corners of his mouth carelessly, ¡°People always tend to believe what they are willing to listen to. It doesn¡¯t matter whether it is the truth or not. This is also the root of people¡¯s bad habits.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk about that crap with me.¡± Thalia was not interested in listening to Finley¡¯s lecture. ¡°Finley, I¡¯ve never been loved, so I don¡¯t know how to love someone. But please believe that I¡¯m sincere.¡± Hearing her self-proof words, Finley¡¯s eyes shed, and some strange emotions flooded his heart. ¡°You can test me too. I don¡¯t mind, but don¡¯t push me away.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t speak to me like that.¡± Finley¡¯s tone became much gentler. Thalia frowned. ¡°Why?¡± ¡°Because I am your doctor.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, the car fell into silence. Finely was even somewhat unustomed to it when Thalia stopped being noisy. Finley wanted to see Thalia¡¯s face through the rearview mirror, but just as he had this thought, he felt himself ridiculous. He murmured in his heart, am I worried about her? How could that be¡­ I will never cross the line. The two of them didn¡¯t say a word along the way. Finley left after sending Thalia to the Ramsey¡¯s ce. Alexa brought Thalia into the house. Rebekah and Jason were also kind to her. ¡°You must be hungry, little girl. I¡¯ve asked the cook to prepare the meal. Please wait for a while and have some snacks.¡± ¡°Thank you, Mrs. Bernard.¡± Thalia nodded politely, showing a good manner in every gesture. Alexa even felt that this was what Thalia truly was like. Now Thalia was finally willing to let down her tough and sharp guard. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about Rayan. We will take care of it,¡± Alexa held Thalia¡¯s hand and said. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect him to be such a scumbag!¡± Jason cursed indignantly, ¡°Damn bastard!¡± ¡°Ourwyer has almost got all the evidence.¡± Alexa¡¯s eyes were as calm as still water, but they were unfathomable. ¡°His crime is enough for him to be sentenced to life imprisonment. Of course, if you give him a letter of understanding, it will be reduced.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll never forgive him!¡± Alexa nodded and was very supportive of Thalia. She took Thalia to thew firm to see how the case was doing. Unexpectedly, Thalia¡¯s parents barged in with Rayan¡¯s parents as soon as the two of them finished the formalities. ¡°Thalia, let¡¯s talk.¡± Elena¡¯s face was dark. Thalia subconsciously looked at Alexa. She felt a little insecure. James saw through his daughter¡¯s intentions. He said in a hostile tone, ¡°Youe and talk with us. Don¡¯t bring someone irrelevant along.¡± ¡°Mr. Crompton, I am not someone irrelevant. I am also one of the intiffs,¡± Alexa smiled elegantly. Melody¡¯s and Raymond¡¯s faces instantly became extremely ugly when they heard this. They found a lounge and closed the door. Right after that, Melody said arrogantly, ¡°Thalia, as long as you give Rayan a letter of understanding, you can still marry him.¡± Thalia was stunned and then she sneered. ¡°Thalia, did you hear that?¡± Elena said urgently, ¡°Rayan is your fianc¨¦. You can¡¯t ruin his future. ¡°He was only drunk that night. He didn¡¯t mean to harm you.¡± Raymond said as if nothing was wrong, ¡°Besides, it was you who wanted to stab yourself. Rayan doesn¡¯t care about the past. You should be satisfied with it. ¡°It won¡¯t be good if this mess continues.¡± Elena even had tears falling down. She said, ¡°We all cared about you. We are doing this because we want you to be happy. We¡¯ll never hurt you.¡± Alexa sighed in amazement and even apuded for their speech. ¡°Well yed, well done,¡± She smiled and praised, ¡°How moving!¡± The expressions of the four people were hrious. They looked both embarrassed and angry and they couldn¡¯te up with even one more word. Thalia was so angry that she did not want to speak, so she did not make a sound. Elena felt awkward. She put on the airs of an elder with a cold face. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, just take care of your husband and live your life. You are not qualified to mind our business.¡± ¡°Of course, I don¡¯t want to care about your stupid family affairs,¡± Alexa raised her eyes coldly, ¡°But I can¡¯t let Rayan go. It is already my mercy that I didn¡¯t kill him.¡± ¡°You vicious bitch!¡± Melody screamed, ¡°I will kill you!¡± N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. ¡°Mrs. Biddell, this is in aw firm. Are you sure you want to do this?¡± Alexa¡¯s light words instantly made Melody freeze. ¡°Everyone, please make it clear that Thalia is not anyone¡¯s attachment. You can¡¯t decide how she lived her life.¡± ¡°Nonsense!¡± James was still reluctant to admit it. ¡°As for Rayan¡­¡± Alexa snorted disdainfully, ¡°Who the hell does he think he is? He¡¯s just a stinky, disgusting maggot.¡± ¡°Thalia Crompton!¡± Melody scolded angrily, ¡°No one will marry you except Rayan! You¡¯ve ruined all your family¡¯s reputation!¡± Alexa felt disgusted when she heard this. She was about to call someone to drive them out, but the door suddenly opened. Finley entered the room expressionlessly. He didn¡¯t get his nice on when he saw them. ¡°Who are you?¡± Raymond questioned unhappily. ¡°Finley¡­¡± Thalia murmured. She had never expected Finley to show up here. Melody was still jabbering on. ¡°Thalia, no one wants a loose woman like you.¡± Finley looked at Melody without a word. Melody felt a chill run down her spine. When Thalia saw Finley walk to her side, her heart inexplicably began to beat faster. Elena felt not right and said, ¡°Who are you? What do you want?¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter who I am to you.¡± In the next moment, Finley held Thalia¡¯s hand and looked at her with a determined gaze. ¡°But to me, she is very important.¡± Chapter 389 Chapter 389 Chapter 389 I See You as My Lover Thalia¡¯s parents became shocked instantly. As for Raymond and Melody, they were lost for words all at once. ¡°Great,¡± Melody sneered harshly. ¡°Thalia, you¡¯ve surprised me a lot! It turns out that you have long messed around with guys outside!¡± Thalia became sulky immediately. ¡°Don¡¯t make me show no respect for you!¡± Thalia shocked everyone present since she suddenly lost her temper like this. Among them, Melody was stunned the most. ¡°It¡¯s okay if it¡¯s me that you humiliate. But him as well? Can you show some respect?¡± Finley did not expect that Thalia would be so angry. Therefore, he held Thalia¡¯s hand silently, signaling to her to stay calm. ¡°Your son is a criminal.¡± Thalia sneered and retorted, each word sounding like a knife that had stabbed into Melody¡¯s heart. ¡°Did you hear me clearly? If not, I¡¯ll say it again!¡± Thalia enunciated each word solemnly, ¡°Your son, Rayan Biddell, is a damned criminal. Do you understand?¡± ¡°You¡­ You¡­¡± Melody trembled in anger as she pointed at Thalia while trying to retort a bit, which turned out to be a vain attempt. Atst, she fainted from anger. The reception room was reduced to a mess. Finley wanted to go up and check on Melody, but Raymond pushed him away sulkily. Noticing that, Thalia held Finley¡¯s hand and took him away without any exnation. Alexa had people send Melody to the hospital and left the room as well. But to Alexa¡¯s surprise, Terrence showed up at that moment. Seeing that Thalia and Finley walked out hand in hand, Terrence was perplexed, with a touch of astonishment shing across his eyes. Alexa nodded to him a bit. Right now, Alexa was a bit vexed as well. ¡°Let¡¯s go,¡± Terrence held Alexa¡¯s hand and said. All Terrence cared about was Alexa. Meanwhile, Thalia felt exhrated right now. She followed Finley wherever he went. Then Finley said helplessly, ¡°Are you going to sit in the driver¡¯s seat with me as well?¡± ¡°Um¡­ Ah! No, no¡­¡± ¡°Now seat yourself.¡± Thalia did as he said before looking at him expectantly. ¡°Dr. McMin, can you repeat what you said just now?¡± Thalia said pitifully. ¡°I didn¡¯t hear you clearly then.¡± ¡°No, I can¡¯t.¡± Finley was insistent. ¡°Ah! What a pity!¡± There was a hint of regret in Thalia¡¯s tone. ¡°I think I¡¯ve missed your confession of love! May I ask what ¡­ is our rtionship then?¡± Hearing this, Finley stopped the car right away. Thalia, shocked, thought that she had pissed him off. Just as she was about to apologize, Finley raised his hand to prop himself against the back of the chair while leaning over in a bossy manner. ¡°What do you think? What kind of rtionship do you think we should have?¡± ¡°I¡­ I¡­ I¡­¡± Thalia blushed and felt at a loss for words for the first time. ¡°I feel like I¡¯m in a dream.¡± Finley tapped her forehead slightly with his finger. There was a reproachful look on his face. ¡°I¡¯ll give you time to get to know me. And if you think I am not the one you want or you¡¯ve been tired of me, tell me at any time.¡± ¡°You haven¡¯t answered my question yet. What is our rtionship now?¡± Thalia was patient, trying to make Finley call her ¡°girlfriend¡±. Finley paused for a moment before grabbing her finger which was poking his shoulder. Then he said with a serious expression, ¡°I see you Thalia¡¯s ears turned red immediately. lover.¡± Finley calling her ¡°lover¡± solemnly like that made Thalia¡¯s heart pound with excitement. The word ¡°lover¡± was undoubtedly the sincerest word in the world that people could hear from their lovers. ¡°Finley, it seems like I like you even more now. What should I do?¡± ¡°Then like me.¡± Finley nodded. ¡°I will do my best to reciprocate your love with mine.¡± ¡°But you¡¯ve been very indifferent to me. Why did you suddenly¡­¡± ¡°You can¡¯t regret it now. It¡¯s toote.¡± Thalia was still smiling. ¡°Then shall I wait for you at my apartment tonight?¡± She tugged at Finley¡¯s sleeve meaningfully. What she did was simply alluring. ¡°Dinner?¡± Finley nodded. ¡°There¡¯s still an operation to go tonight. I¡¯ll rush over as soon as possible after it¡¯s over.¡± Thalia felt that Finley didn¡¯t understand what she meant. But deep down, she was still extremely happy, so happy that she couldn¡¯t help but keep smiling. Soon, she was home. After sorting things out a bit, she asked Alexa out for coffee. But Christina came with Alexa as well. ¡°Mom, this is Dr. McMin¡¯s girlfriend, Thalia.¡± Alexa introduced Thalia to Christina before winking at Thalia, signaling her to rx. ¡°Nice to meet you, Christina. I didn¡¯t expect to see you again so soon.¡± ¡°I am surprised as well,¡± Christina smiled lightly. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that the person Finley liked was you.¡± Since Christina had already learned about Thalia from Alexa before, she felt quite close to Thalia when she saw Thalia. Therefore, the moment Christina sat down, she asked Thalia directly. ¡°Are you two going to get married?¡± Thalia almost choked to death on the coffee upon hearing this. Then she tried to restrain her bearing and nodded with a red face. ¡°Christina, I am serious about the rtionship with him. But Dr. McMin is a rising young doctor. I don¡¯t want to pressure him into marriage.¡± ¡°Before Finley¡¯s parents passed away, they asked me to take care of Finley. Due to that, I treat Finley as my son rather than a student.¡± Alexa stirred the sugar in the cup and listened silently. No wonder Finley was reserved like that, who was cold to everyone except for his patients. ¡°As long as you have the wish to get married, I will make sure he doesn¡¯t let you down.¡± Christina nodded kindly. ¡°After all, a girl can only be young for a few years!¡± ¡°Christina¡­¡± ¡°Dr. McMin is sincere to you,¡± Alexa said with a smile. ¡°This is the first time I¡¯ve seen him behave like that.¡± ¡°Finley is a member of the Duran family. Therefore, your wedding will be handled by the Duran family as well.¡± Christina tried to reassure Thalia in subtle ways. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. We won¡¯t let you suffer any grievances. As for those who gossip, they will soon find out the consequences of it.¡± Actually, Christina looked down on Thalia¡¯s parents, but she managed to make them look good when mentioning them. ¡°Thank you, Christina. Thank you, Alexa.¡± Thalia was so moved that her eyes turned red. In the end, she couldn¡¯t help but burst into tears. After Thalia left, Alexa felt relieved. At that moment, Christina¡¯s voice slowly sounded. ¡°Alexa, what do Terrence and you n to do next?¡± ¡°Ah? We¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ve heard that you want to have a daughter, right?¡± ¡°Mom.¡± N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. Alexa held Christina¡¯s arm like a spoiled child, feeling quite embarrassed. ¡°I didn¡¯t mean to actually have a¡­¡± Alexa felt her cheeks burning. ¡°Moreover, he doesn¡¯t want me to burden me with another baby.¡± Christina took the hint and stopped talking. Then she smiled and patted the back of Alexa¡¯s hand a bit. As soon as they walked out of the caf¨¦, Christina¡¯s assistant rushed over and whispered something to her. Christina¡¯s expression changed all at once. Then she said solemnly, ¡°Alexa, I need to go back now.¡± ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°He¡¯s awake.¡± Chapter 390 Chapter 390 Chapter 390 Possessiveness Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. ¡°In that case, I¡¯ll go back with you!¡± ¡°Alexa.¡± Christina pressed her hand on Alexa¡¯s shoulder so as to stop Alexa. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I don¡¯t want you to get involved. Also, I hope you won¡¯t tell Henry about this¡­¡± ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°It will be dealt with properly soon. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Then Christina turned and left with her assistant without a backward nce. But somehow, Alexa felt worried about Christina. She decided to go find Terrence and discuss the matter with him. But much to her surprise, a dozen or so cars, all Maserati, stopped at the side of the road in unison at that moment. In its wake, a ck-d unsmiling man blocked her way. ¡°Ms. Duran, Mr. Niebergall wants to invite you in his car.¡± After the ck-d man¡¯s words, a car window, which was right in front of her, had been rolled down with a crack, through which Irvin¡¯s face was seen. And since the inside of the car was dim, Irvin¡¯s face looked quite malicious. Then the driver opened the door for Alexa while the other bodyguards formed a circle, blocking Alexa¡¯s way out. ¡°Ms. Duran¡­¡± Alexa¡¯s assistant seemed worried. ¡°It¡¯s fine. Inform the public rtions department. Tell them to be ready to get the thing out.¡± Alexa ordered her assistant calmly before bowing and getting into the car. ¡°You¡¯re quite brave.¡± Irvin whistled yfully. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that I¡¯ll tie you up or something?¡± ¡°There are a lot of people watching out there. I think what is happening now is already all over the Inte,¡± Alexa smiled casually. ¡°Unless you¡¯re not afraid of messing up the business of the Niebergall Group.¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± Irvin sneered and approached Alexa gloomily. ¡°You have offended me so many times before. And I am a very narrow- minded person. I think it¡¯s not unlikely that I would tie you up and dump you in the deep forest to feed the wolves.¡± ¡°Is that so? Then I have to say it¡¯s not a good n.¡± Alexa looked at him coldly and even exchanged a nce with him fiercely. She thought, ha! He¡¯s bluffing. ¡°Mr. Niebergall, if you have something to say, just say it. The longer I stay in the car, the greater danger the Niebergall Group might be in.¡± Irvin was displeased with Alexa threatening him like this, but he dared not say anything. ¡°Keyon promised to marry Giselle, but he hasn¡¯t made a move yet,¡± Irvin said coldly. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with the Duran family? Why don¡¯t you keep your word?¡± ¡°That is between Keyon and Giselle. I don¡¯t see it has anything to do with me!¡± ¡°Alexa, Giselle has fallen for Keyon for real. It would only be inhumane if you tried to go back on your word.¡± At the thought of Irvin being an illegitimate child, Alexa felt disgusted. However, Irvin, who seemed not to have noticed that, brought up the illegitimacy matter. ¡°Despite everything, I am still your brother, right?¡± ¡°Not really!¡± Unexpectedly, Alexa took such a negative attitude toward him, which made Irvin look even gloomier. Then the car came to a halt all at once. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Irvin growled unhappily. ¡°Mr. Niebergall, someone has blocked our way.¡± The driver was so scared that his face turned pale. Then Alexa saw an Aston Martin parked in front of them. In its wake, arge group of well-trained bodyguards came over, with Terrence walking in the middle. A hint of a smile appeared in her eyes immediately. ¡°How crazy,¡± Irvin gritted his teeth and cursed. The two cars were only inches away from each other. If the Aston Martin hadn¡¯t stopped in time just now, the two cars would¡¯ve bumped into each other already. But Alexa actually was smiling now, showing no fear at all. Irvin scolded her secretly, thinking that Alexa was an idiot. Then he got out of the car with a gloomy face, wanting to confront Terrence. But Terrence pushed him away directly, opened the door of the car casually, and pulled Alexa out of the car. ¡°You¡¯re here,¡± Alexa said with a smile. Hearing that, Terrence pulled her into his arms. ¡°I was just chatting with my sister. Do you have to do all this?¡± Irvin said in a strange tone. Then he started to provoke Terrence purposely. ¡°My brother-inw!¡± Hearing the form of address, Alexa got worked up right away. ¡°Irvin, are you courting death?¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay if you don¡¯t want to admit it. I understand.¡± Irvin smiled and nodded so as to show his understanding. He even acted as if he was making compromises. Terrence, with a warning in his eyes, nced at Irvin. Terrence¡¯s eyes were so cold that they looked murderous. ¡°Think about what I just told you.¡± Irvin leaned against the side of his car elegantly. ¡°Whether or not the Duran family will be respected in the future all depends on you now.¡± But Alexa ignored him and left with Terrence right away. After getting in the car, Alexa still looked displeased. ¡°Sorry, I amte.¡± Terrence held her hand. Then he asked in a seemingly casual way, ¡°What did he say to you just now?¡± ¡°Things about Keyon and Giselle.¡± Alexa sighed in frustration. She found all these matters torturous. ¡°I don¡¯t get to decide whether they get married or not!¡± But deep down, Alexa did find it unconvincing why Keyon wanted to marry Giselle. ¡°Keyon doesn¡¯t love Giselle at all. If he only married her to make up for something, their marriage would end up like a timebomb.¡± While she was speaking, Terrence¡¯s expression changed a bit. But Alexa didn¡¯t notice that. But Terrence managed to hide his emotions. And then he said lightly, ¡°Marry her so as to make up for something¡­¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Alexa continued. ¡°The way Giselle loves him is not healthy. That makes herself a victim too.¡± ¡°Not healthy?¡± ¡°She wants Keyon to be only hers. She treats all the women in the world as her rivals in love. She even tried to hurt herself so as to force Keyon to makepromises.¡± But after finishing speaking, Alexa sensed that the atmosphere in the carriage was tense. Terrence did not seem to be as interested as he always did. Actually, he did not even reply. Alexa thought, perhaps hecks interest because Giselle is Irvin¡¯s sister. At the thought of this, Alexa then decided to change the topic. But Terrence had been cold and sullen ever since, as if he felt hurt or something. He even took the initiative to sleep in the guest room that night. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Alexa realized that something was off and stopped him at the door. ¡°Are you avoiding me?¡± ¡°No.¡± Terrence answered concisely, which made Alexa even more suspicious. And since Alexa had always been careless and not attentive to others¡¯ feelings, she found Terrence¡¯s behavior perplexing. ¡°Is it because of Irvin?¡± Alexa couldn¡¯t think of anything else other than this. ¡°He did not hurt me nor make me scared. Don¡¯t be angry, okay?¡± She tugged at Terrence¡¯s sleeve, which Terrence found seductive and touched as he always did. Due to that, Terrence took the opportunity to hook his arm around Alexa¡¯s. While he was doing that, there was a hint of loneliness hidden in his eyes. ¡°I just think you might want some privacy. And I value it.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Despite being much taller than Alexa, Terrence looked so pitiful now, with his head lowered and his tone sad. ¡°Privacy?¡± Alexa was too insensitive to understand his meaning. ¡°Is it because I¡¯ve done something wrong and have made you unhappy recently?¡± ¡°No, Alexa. You have done nothing wrong! Actually, you¡¯re a very finedy,¡± Terrence exined right away. ¡°But also because of that, I can¡¯t help wanting you to be mine exclusively, and I can¡¯t stand othersing close to you¡­¡± Chapter 391 Chapter 391 Chapter 391 Am I Not Magnanimous Enough? Alexa didn¡¯t realize until now that she might have upset Terrence somehow today when talking about Giselle. ¡°I didn¡¯t mean any of that.¡± As she said that, she pushed Terrence back into their room before closing the door. Terrence sat on the bed without resisting and looked at her very seriously. Alexa thought she was the one who always took the initiative in the rtionship. After all, Terrence, prim and proper as he was, seemed to find a teasing manner beyond him and would blush right off the bat whenever Alexa teased him. But now that she thought about it, Alexa found that Terrence was actually pretty needy even though they were married. The way Terrence behaved made Alexa feel as if they were still a new couple and were still passionately in love. And Alexa liked it a lot. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, shall we talk a bit?¡± ¡°Yes, okay.¡± Terrence nodded obediently, letting her take control. ¡°I hope I didn¡¯t cause you any trouble.¡± ¡°Who says that you¡¯ve caused me trouble?¡± Alexa sat down on hisp and hooked her arms around his neck gently. ¡°Or is it because you feel insecure?¡± ¡°No! It¡¯s not like that¡­¡± Terrence¡¯s heart was pounding with excitement from the way she looked at him. Although he had always been the boss and the one in control in front of others, before Alexa, he was submissive to a fault. ¡°I¡¯m sorry that what I said today hurt you. I didn¡¯t mean it.¡± Alexa apologized sincerely and then kissed him lightly on his lips. Terrence blinked in surprise. But Alexa gave him another kiss regardless before continuing, ¡°I love you. ¡°And that is self-evident.¡± ¡°Alexa¡­¡± Alexa tended to be a very straightforward person who almost made no secret of what was in her mind. And Terrence liked her about that. ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Alexa brushed his eyebrows with her finger lightly while smiling brightly. ¡°Come to think of it. It seems that we haven¡¯t dated for a long time.¡± Ever since they had Damarion, Alexa had shifted all her attention to Damarion. ¡°Yes.¡± Terrence nodded and looked at her expectantly. ¡°Can we have a date tomorrow? Let me arrange it.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa nodded and agreed readily. That night, Terrence slept very soundly with Alexa in his arms. The next morning, Alexa woke up early to get dressed. ¡°I¡¯ve muted my phone already. No one can bother us today.¡± Terrence had changed his clothes and was waiting for her in the room. ¡°I see you¡¯re wearing a suit. You wear a suit on a date as well?¡± ¡°That¡¯s because it is a date with my wife. It is very important.¡± He adjusted the tie clip carefully before looking at Alexa in the mirror. ¡°Which lipstick should I use today?¡± Alexa was torn. Terrence thought a bit and chose the one she used the most usually. In fact, he had been paying attention to all these details, ones that even Alexa did not notice. Terrence remembered everything about her clearly. Jason and Rebekah were very happy, knowing that they were going to have a date. Due to that, they picked up Damarion early in the morning. Alexa wanted to focus on only the date with Terrence today. Unexpectedly, the moment they went out, she met Finley and Thalia. They were walking on the street hand in hand. But the moment Thalia saw Alexa, she shook off Finley¡¯s hand and ran over. Noticing that Finley¡¯s hand hung in mid-air awkwardly, Alexa felt a bit sorry for him. And although Terrence remained silent, his eyes were filled with resistance to Thalia. ¡°Alexa, what a coincidence! Are you two having a date too?¡± ¡°Uh. Yes.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s do it together then!¡± Thalia then wanted to pull Alexa into a luxury store, but Finley quickly came over to take her over. ¡°We still have some other things to do, so let¡¯s take a raincheck,¡± Finley exined calmly. Alexa looked at the bags in his hands, all top luxury brands and worth a fortune altogether. Alexa thought, how generous of him! I didn¡¯t expect him to be so liberal with his money. ¡°Can we do something else?¡± Thalia muttered in a low voice. ¡°Why buy all this stuff for me? My legs are sore from shopping.¡± Finley, expressionless, nodded at Alexa and Terrence. ¡°Maybe we¡¯ll go home now. See you around.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Alexa nodded. ¡°See you.¡± Alexa was left staring after them and pondering. To ence turned Alexa¡¯s face over helplessly. Then he said with jealousy, ¡°Still looking?¡± ¡°All right. I¡¯ll stop looking.¡± Alexa had a guilty conscience, which showed all over her face. But meanwhile, she was still surprised. ¡°I can¡¯t believe Dr. McMin and Ms. Crompton are a couple now.¡± ¡°They all found their love,¡± Terrence said in a t tone. ¡°It¡¯s good.¡± ¡°Yes, that¡¯s true.¡± Alexa nodded, not knowing what had happened between Terrence and Finley. After a whole day outside, Alexa and Terrence were finally home. Then Alexa contacted Christina. ¡°Alexa, everything is fine. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Christina was standing by the hospital bed in a white coat. The person on the bed had already fallen asleep. Scott had lost a lot of weight during his stay in the hospital, and the fierceness on his face had deepened as well. In front of the others, they were still a loving couple. But only Christina knew how crazy Scott was. There were two red and swollen scratches on her arm now. Those were injuries caused by Scott. When he went crazy, no one could stop him. ¡°I¡¯m fine. Tell Terrence not to worry about me as well. I will go back after I settle the matter here.¡± After hanging up the phone, Christina heard somethinging from the bed. Scott had woken up, and he was fixing her with a frightening stare. ¡°Who did you just mention?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t move,¡± Christina said coldly. ¡°Who was on the phone just now?¡± Scott pointed at her, about to get agitated again. ¡°What does it have to do with you? Mind your own business.¡± ¡°Christina!¡± Scott¡¯s voice was hoarse and terrifying. And when he screamed at the top of his lungs, his face flushed red. But Christina just stood at the end of the bed while looking coldly at him. There was no pity in her eyes whatsoever. ¡°Do you want to live or not?¡± Christina said indifferently. ¡°If yes,ply with the doctor¡¯s orders. And once you are discharged, we will go through the divorce procedures.¡± ¡°Divorce?¡± With a thud, a vase exploded at her feet. But that wasn¡¯t enough for Scott, who then continued to smash everything else on the table onto the ground. The ward was reduced to a mess instantly. By the time the nurse got there, she was shocked by the scene in the room. ¡°Dr. Fleming.¡± ¡°Get out.¡± Christina was still very calm. Whatever Scott did wouldn¡¯t make Christina get worked up. ¡°Do you really think that you can still control me like before?¡± Christina sneered. ¡°Scott, I have a daughter and a son now. As for you, you are just a good-for nothing illegitimate child. Who do you think you are to confront Me?¡± ¡°I will kill you!¡± N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. Scott shouted some words which sounded unclear. And not long after that, he began to salivate, which made him look pathetic. ¡°To be honest, I do want you to die.¡± Christina looked up elegantly. ¡°But I am a doctor. And I¡¯ve saved your life regardless. Am I not magnanimous enough?¡± ¡°Alexa¡­ Alexa is exactly the same as you.¡± Scott panted. ¡°Both are bitches!¡± Chapter 392 Chapter 392 Chapter 392 Breaking the Engagement These days when Scott was hospitalized, he was sometimes sober. Irvin would tell him about the recent events of the Duran family by the bedside. He said that Alexa had been conferred a title together with Terrence, and had gone off with all the money of the Duran Group. Scott had schemed for a lifetime of money and power, but now all of it was destroyed by Alexa. It was undoubtedly to take his life. ¡°They¡­¡± Scott wanted to curse, but he exhausted his strength and fell heavily on the bed.. Christina sneered, her eyes red as she leaned over and grabbed Scott¡¯s neck. ¡°How dare you speak of my daughter like that?¡± Christina gritted her teeth in hatred. ¡°For your illegitimate child, you can even harm my children!¡± In the beginning, when the Duran family fought, in order to protect the lives of Keyon and Alexa, Christina had no choice but to listen to Scott¡¯s scheme and send her children to a foreignnd. But after the matter settled down, Scott repeatedly refused to find Keyon and Alexa. With the Duran family¡¯s strength, they could find news of her children easily! ¡°You have lied to me for so many years.¡± Tears welled up in Christina¡¯s eyes, but they were filled with hatred and unwillingness. ¡°Your lover died inbor. How can you me me for not saving her?¡± Christina lost control of her emotions and increased the strength in her hands. ¡°Her child is the most precious treasure in your heart, so what about my child? Scott, you really deserve to die!¡± Scott had no strength to resist at all, and his face turned pale. Christina¡¯s rationality almostpletely disappeared, and if she was not careful, she could suffocate Scott to death. Scott¡¯s desire to live was especially strong. He tried hard to hold onto Christina¡¯s wrist. The instrument next to her made an ear-piercing sound. Christina suddenly came back to her senses and trembled as she released her hand. Scott had already lost consciousness, and his heart rate was dropping rapidly. Christina had someone send Scott to the emergency room and finally saved his life. When Scott was pushed back to the ward, Keyon was also at the scene. Keyon looked coldly at Scott, and there was no pity in his eyes. Christina tiredly took off her mask. Keyon carefully folded a handkerchief and wiped away the sweat on her forehead. ¡°Mom.¡± Christina¡¯s nervousness eased. She hugged Keyon tightly to get some security. Keyon gently patted her back. His determined eyes were gentle. ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯m here.¡± ¡°He probably won¡¯t be able to hold on for much longer,¡± Christina leaned against Keyon¡¯s chest and said softly. ¡°I asked someone to keep the medicine sample. Someone has tampered with his medicine.¡± Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. ¡°It¡¯s Irvin.¡± ¡°Did you know that?¡± ¡°He has always been close to the medical department. He also goes to Scott¡¯s ward very often. I always knew. I never stopped him,¡± Keyon was not surprised. ¡°Keyon¡­¡± Keyon¡¯s eyshes fluttered as he brushed Christina¡¯s hair. ¡°He has harmed us for so many years. He deserves it,¡± Keyon calmly said. ¡°If he hadn¡¯t secretly stopped us, Alexa wouldn¡¯t have dyed her illness for so long, and she wouldn¡¯t have almost¡­¡± Speaking up to this point, the pity in Christina¡¯s heart instantly disappeared. Scott had always thought that Alexa¡¯s illness was an act of revenge for her. How could he be so ruthless to his daughter? The two of them chatted for a while, and Keyon sent Christina back to her room to rest. ¡°Right.¡± Christina suddenly remembered something. ¡°Alexa is asking about your marriage with Giselle.¡± When Christina mentioned Giselle, she was actually very dissatisfied. She did not want her son¡¯s happiness to be buried by that crazy woman. ¡°Keyon, are you really going to marry her?¡± Christina forced a smile. ¡°She is pathetic, but there is no need for you to make it up to her. Do you love her?¡± Keyon did not answer. A long timeter, he said vaguely, ¡°I haven¡¯t met someone I like, so it doesn¡¯t matter to me whether I like her or not.¡± If he married Giselle, he could at least stabilize the Niebergall family. For him, this was a very cost-effective deal. ¡°What if you meet that girl in the future? I can also help you find her,¡± Christina said with a smile. ¡°I won¡¯t. After all, she became like this because of me,¡± Keyon said with a slight smile. ¡°Alright.¡± Christina did not try to persuade him anymore but reluctantly agreed. ¡°Then if you have time, you can go to New York and meet Alexa.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Keyon nodded in agreement, without any emotional ups and downs. When he returned to his residence, Giselle had just brought out thest dish from the kitchen. ¡°You¡¯re back,¡± Giselle smiled gently. ¡°Let¡¯s have dinner.¡± Keyon nced at the dishes on the table that did not look very good. ¡°Leave these to the servants.¡± ¡°It¡¯s still early after the follow-up today, so I want to cook for you.¡± After Giselle finished speaking, she handed over a fork with great anticipation. On the back of her thin hand, in addition to the spot, there were several newly added burns. Keyon held her hand. Giselle was obviously very surprised. ¡°Keyon?¡± ¡°Does it hurt?¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Seeing his serious expression, Giselle thought that she had made him angry. ¡°Keyon, did I cause you any trouble?¡± Giselle hurriedly shook her head. ¡°It doesn¡¯t hurt. It¡¯s fine.¡± Keyon didn¡¯t say a word and quickly got up to find the medicine box. When he came back with the ointment, Giselle was still standing in the same ce, feeling wronged and about to cry. ¡°You have to protect yourself.¡± Keyon¡¯s tone was very gentle. ¡°Don¡¯t let yourself get hurt again.¡± ¡°Keyon¡­ I¡¯m afraid you think I¡¯m useless. I know I¡¯m not qualified to be your wife, but I want to do my best to be better.¡± Giselle was in tears the whole time. ¡°The wedding will be held as soon as possible. I never meant to break the engagement.¡± ¡°Keyon, I¡­¡± ¡°You are my legal spouse, my wife.¡± He applied the ointment to her, and Giselle was stunned for a long time, unable to react. They looked at each other quietly for a moment, and the phone that Keyon had ced on the table suddenly rang. Giselle nced at the note, then respectfully handed the phone to him. ¡°It¡¯s your sister.¡± ¡°I have ointment in my hand. You can answer the phone.¡± After Keyon finished speaking, he took the medicine box and left. Giselle knew this meant that Keyon was willing to believe her. ¡°I am¡­ Giselle.¡± Hearing her voice, the person on the other side of the line was obviously stunned. Giselle¡¯s heart clenched. She asked in fear, ¡°Are you looking for Keyon? I¡¯ll give him the phone right away.¡± ¡°No. I¡¯m looking for you,¡± Alexa chuckled. ¡°Huh?¡± Giselle was rather surprised and did not dare tomunicate with Alexa. ¡°My mother wants you and my brother to have a wedding in New York, so I came to ask for your opinion today.¡± Alexa paused and politely called out. ¡°You¡¯re my sister-inw.¡± When Terrence heard this, he also looked over. Chapter 393 Chapter 393 Chapter 393 Just a Friend Alexa smiled and asked Giselle for her opinion patiently. However, Giselle had always been submissive and seemed to be very nervous. Alexa felt that Giselle shouldn¡¯t be pretending. At least after Giselle had just recovered from her serious illness, she was apletely different person from before. Giselle was very happy to discuss the wedding. She even proposed to invite her parents to New York, and both parents would meet each other. Alexa readily agreed. In short, as long as Keyon agreed, she had no objections. After ending the call, Terrence took the opportunity to hold Alexa in his arms. ¡°Didn¡¯t you have a bad time with Giselle in the past?¡± ¡°It was quite unpleasant.¡± When Alexa thought of what Giselle had done in the past, she always felt uneasy. ¡°My brother found her a psychologist. The doctor diagnosed that Giselle has a very serious two-way emotional disorder. Now it should be controlled.¡± Alexa was not interested in these things. After all, she would not meet Giselle often in the future. Giselle had the Niebergall family behind her, so it was hard to guarantee that they would not hide something. ¡°You don¡¯t need to care too much,¡± Terrence casually said. Terrence really had not paid attention to Giselle. Although Terrence was busy dealing with things of thepany all day long, there was only Alexa at the bottom of his heart. ¡°I know.¡± Alexa leaned in his arms. ¡°But on the surface, you must always be kind to her.¡± No matter what Alexa¡¯s attitude was, Terrence was very supportive. Alexa fiddled with his tie and suddenly remembered something. ¡°You spend so much time with me every day. Don¡¯t you have to go socialize?¡± Although Alexa liked being with him, she didn¡¯t want to be the kind of woman that those people talked about dying his career. ¡°Isn¡¯t it good to apany you?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you need to socialize?¡± Now that Hudson Group was in the middle of its promotion period, many big shots in the industry wanted to get close to them as Terrence was in charge of the power. ¡°Business engagements require the presence of my wife, Mrs. Ramsey,¡± Terrence answered very seriously. ¡°I remember that you never liked this kind of asion. So I refused all of them.¡± ¡°I can go there once in a while.¡± ¡°Okay, I got it.¡± Terrence nodded and remembered every word she said. That night, Alexa read Kieran¡¯s Line post. After such a long time, she finally saw some news about him. The location was South Korea International Airport. There was no picture of it, only a short sentence. ¡°It¡¯s been a long time.¡± Alexa pondered silently for a moment before ra sent a message. ¡°Alexa, my brother is going back home tomorrow. Want toe out for a get-together?¡± ¡°So fast?¡± ¡°Yes. My dad has not been in good health recently, so my brother ns toe back to inherit the family business.¡± ¡°Is he still a doctor?¡± After a long time, ra replied. ¡°No. When he takes over thepany, I will divorce.¡± Alexa was not actually surprised. It was a business marriage alliance. ra and the son of the Golding family had been treating each other with proper respect and concern for so many years. It was already a good ending for them to be able to get along well. ¡°Alright, then let¡¯s have dinner together tomorrow night.¡± Alexa immediately told Terrence about this matter. He was about to fall asleep, but he instantly became vignt. ¡°You want to see Kieran?¡± ¡°I want to go with you. If you don¡¯t want to, we won¡¯t go.¡± She didn¡¯t want to force him. ¡°Do you want to see him?¡± Terrence asked doubtfully. Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. ¡°Ms. Powell has already invited me. I said yes to her.¡± The anticipation in Terrence¡¯s eyes disappeared. Alexa thought that he was unwilling to go, but he agreed in the end. The venue for the dinner was a garden restaurant. Terrence was still in thepany for a meeting, so Alexa went first. There was only one person in the seat. Alexa nced at it from afar, and a familiar yet strange feeling instantly welled up in her heart. Kieran was still dressed in a refined suit, but his charisma was more mature than it had been two years ago. The gentle twilight gently sprinkled on him, and the surroundings were quiet. Kieran sensed her gaze, and he stood up to walk toward her. ¡°Dr. Powell. It¡¯s been a long time.¡± Alexa was used to calling him that. ¡°I¡¯m no longer a doctor. Just call me Kieran,¡± Kieran said with a gentle smile. ¡°OK, Kieran.¡± The two of them smiled at each other, and Kieran opened his arms to her with a warm look in his eyes. Alexa stepped forward and hugged him. Suddenly, a sour feeling welled up in her heart. ¡°You really haven¡¯t changed at all. There must be more girls who have secretly fallen in love with you,¡± Alexa joked. ¡°I have been to many ces by myself, met many people, and seen many scenes.¡± Kieran released her and paused. ¡°I am the only one walking on the road.¡± ¡°You will meet that girl one day.¡± After Alexa finished speaking, an arm grabbed her shoulder and pulled her over. ¡°Hi.¡± Terrence greeted Kieran with a half-smile, and his attitude was polite. Kieran greeted Terrence with a straight face, and the two of them did not have the award atmosphere as before. Alexa could feel that there was actually a misunderstanding between Terrence and Kieran. To Terrence, Kieran was undoubtedly his greatest threat. After all, Kieran had previously had a crush on Alexa. It was magnanimous of Terrence to be able to politely say a few words to Kieran. After they sat down, Terrence no longer spoke to Kieran. The hand Alexa ced under the table was held by Terrence. Even if she wanted to say something, she had to think twice. Kieran flipped through the menu and skillfully ordered a few dishes that Alexa liked. Terrence¡¯s face was obviously a little gloomy, and he was already starting to feel uneasy. Kieran was just an ordinary friend of hers. He, her husband, did not say anything, but Kieran had already shown excessive attention. Kieran did not seem to think so much. After ordering, he handed the menu to Alexa. ¡°Take a look. Is there anything else you would like to try?¡± Terrence nced at it and smiled at her intimately. ¡°Didn¡¯t you tell me yesterday that you were tired of eating shrimp? It¡¯s a changeover period. You will be easily allergic to mangoes.¡± Alexa silently looked at the menu. Did Terrence say that on purpose to tell Kieran that he ordered the wrong dishes? Alexa did not want to ruin Kieran¡¯s good intentions, so she did not connive Terrence¡¯s words. ¡°It¡¯s okay. I like these dishes quite a lot. Order a few more things that ra likes to eat.¡± ¡°OK.¡± Kieran nodded in agreement. At the same time, Terrence¡¯s grip on her hand tightened a lot. Alexa maintained a smile on her face and took out her phone to send Terrence a message. ¡°Don¡¯t make a fuss.¡± Terrence frowned, but Alexa only cared about chatting with Kieran and did not pay attention to him at all. Terrence dared to be angry and typed out a line of text to reply. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, you¡¯reughing so hard. Are you so happy?¡± Alexa did not reply. Terrence added, ¡°Very good.¡± Chapter 394 Chapter 394 Chapter 394 Are You Impatient With Me? Alexa was shocked and hurriedly pressed down on Terrence¡¯s leg under the table, hinting to him not to act recklessly. Terrence did stop, but he never spoke to Kieran again. Alexa and Kieran chatted very well, and Terrence looked very upset. Fortunately, ra came in time, and Alexa shifted her focus away from Kieran. ¡°He didn¡¯te with you?¡± Kieran asked. Kieran didn¡¯t care about his brother-inw at all. ¡°We now stay out of each other¡¯s lives. I¡¯ll get a divorce tomorrow,¡± ra replied indifferently. ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go with you tomorrow.¡± ¡°Father was urging me to ask when are you going to get married?¡± Hearing this question, Alexa gave Kieran a strange look. ¡°No hurry.¡± Kieran took a sip of coffee with a straight face. ¡°I haven¡¯t met anyone I like yet.¡± ¡°You shouldn¡¯t meet someone so amazing when you¡¯re young.¡± Kieran now roughly understood this sentence. Kieran did not look at Alexa, but Terrence inexplicably hid a sense of hostility toward him. ¡°Rtionship needs to be cultivated,¡± Terrence suddenly spoke up. Alexa was shocked and looked at Terrence nervously. Terrence had a smile on his face and looked calm. ¡°If you need it, I can help you keep an eye out. Your conditions are good, so you don¡¯t have to worry that no one will like you.¡± Terrence sounded as if he was implying that Kieran should not have anything to do with his wife. However, Kieran smiled and did not argue with Terrence about this. After serving the dishes, Terrence did not give Alexa a chance to chat. He kept putting food into her te, afraid that her mouth would stop eating. Once Kieran said something, Terrence would pay great attention to it and would never give Alexa a chance to say anything. The atmosphere of this meal inexplicably became strange. After the meeting, ra pulled Alexa away. Terrence could not join their conversation, so he sat alone on the side and looked at Alexa. Kieran did not leave. Kieran suddenly said, ¡°Your rtionship is better now.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it obvious?¡± Terrence¡¯s tone was calm, but it was inexplicably showing off. Kieran¡¯s eyes were much calmer. ¡°Well, then I am relieved.¡± ¡°She treats you as a friend. It¡¯s good.¡± Terrence about to leave when he finished speak Kieran held back for a long time, but in the end, he said helplessly, ¡°Since we are friends, you don¡¯t have to be jealous of me anymore, do you?¡± It was not like he did not notice Terrence¡¯s expression during the meal just now. The jealousy in Terrence¡¯s heart was almost overflowing. ¡°I was equally mindful of every male friend she had around her.¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes became colder. Kieran was right. Terrence was indeed not so generous. Moreover, Kieran had publicly pursued Alexa before. Just thinking about this, Terrence became more uneasy. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. On the way back, Terrence¡¯s expression had been tense. Alexa read her phone absent-mindedly and was secretly sizing Terrence up. ¡°If you have something to say, just say it,¡± Terrence said, looking straight ahead. ¡°What kind of tone is this?¡± Alexa looked at Terrence with interest. ¡°You are quite impatient with me, aren¡¯t you?¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Terrence was instantly defeated. ¡°No,¡± Terrence admitted. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with my tone?¡± ¡°Nothing.¡± Alexa adjusted her sitting posture and stared at Terrence deeply. ¡°I feel you are quite jealous.¡± ¡°You are wrong,¡± Terrence said. ¡°I am not.¡± ¡°Is that so? That¡¯s good.¡± Alexa nodded happily and continued to browse through the pages on her phone. Terrence waited for a few seconds and discovered that Alexa seemed to really not intend to care about him. ¡°Cough¡­¡± He coughed a few times with an awkward expression and sneaked a nce at her. ¡°What do you want to say?¡± Alexa did not even raise her head. ¡°What are you looking at?¡± Terrence tried to change the topic. But he answered anyway, ¡°Actually, I¡¯m a little jealous.¡± Alexa smiled and asked him to stop the car by the roadside. ¡°Look at a handsome guy.¡± She waved the phone screen in front of Terrence. He frowned as expected. ¡°Do you still care about Dr. Powell so much?¡± Alexa casually mentioned it, and Terrence took a deep breath. Alexa said, ¡°But I think he is quite good.¡± ¡°As long as he doesn¡¯t have other thoughts about you, he is indeed very good.¡± ¡°Our child is almost three years old. Mr. Ramsey, what are you thinking?¡± Alexa couldn¡¯t help butugh. Terrence really liked her that way. ¡°You just rely on the fact that I love you.¡± He waspletely defeated. Alexa unhurriedly raised his jaw and leaned over to kiss the corner of his lips. ¡°You sound sweet.¡± Terrence was embarrassed by her words. After pulling his cor, he restarted the car. ¡°It¡¯s still early. Shall I apany you for a walk?¡± ¡°OK.¡± ¡°Buy some more clothes. Have you bought clothestely?¡± ¡°My closet is already full. What would you like to see me wear?¡± Alexa asked without blushing. ¡°The kind that only you can see?¡± Terrence¡¯s ears were red, and he simply had nothing to say. After arriving at the shopping mall, Alexa suddenly received a call from Keyon. ¡°Critically ill?¡± She casually repeated these two words, but there was no surprise on her face. ¡°Yes, I got it,¡± Alexa replied casually. ¡°We will go back.¡± After hanging up the phone, Alexa shed a nce at Terrence and he understood her meaning tacitly. ¡°When do you n to go back?¡± Terrence asked. ¡°It should be these two days.¡± Alexa stroked her hair. She was actually very annoyed with these things. ¡°The other branches of the Duran family have arrived. The Niebergall family and Jovan have also made a move.¡± Although they said that they were going to visit, they were actually going to seize power. Christina was still on Ice Floral Ind, so Alexa couldn¡¯t ignore it. ¡°Well, then we should go as soon as possible.¡± Terrence did not care about the struggle for power. He knew that Alexa was worried about Christina, so he immediately sent people to protect Christina. When the nended on Ice Floral Ind, it waste at night. Keyon and Christina¡¯s rtives picked them up at the airport. Keyon¡¯s expression was serious as he said, ¡°His condition is not very good. He has already entered the emergency room three times. We still don¡¯t know what¡¯s going on.¡± ¡°Has Jovan arrived?¡± ¡°He¡¯s here. He¡¯s with the Niebergall family.¡± Irvin was his sister¡¯s son. When the time came, Jovan would try to help Irvin annex the Duran family¡¯s property. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the hospital first.¡± Alexa sighed. She was not very sad. When Terrence held her hand, he found that her body temperature was frighteningly cold. ¡°Have some rest first,¡± Terrence said. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter,¡± Alexa smiled reluctantly. ¡°It¡¯s just a weather effect. No big deal.¡± There were already many people standing in front of the operating room, and when they arrived, the atmosphere became solemn. ¡°Look who it is. I can¡¯t believe she¡¯s back,¡± someone said in a strange tone. Chapter 395 Chapter 395 Chapter 395 Don¡¯t Cry Terrence and Keyon red at the speaker at the same time. Instantly, silence pervaded the corridor. There came a burst of noise. Irvin came with his father, Tim Niebergall, and Jovan. The atmosphere became subtle. Terrence and Keyon took a step forward at the same time, so Alexa stood behind them. Jovan shot a nce at the three people with a half-smile. Then, he said loudly, ¡°Mr. Duran has been hospitalized for a long time. Ms. Duran finally appeared.¡± ¡°Indeed, I am not a frequent visitor like you, Mr. Clough,¡± Alexa responded. ¡°You are not a member of the Duran family but care about our family affairs.¡± ¡°I have been good friends with Mr. Duran for many years. Therefore, I care about him.¡± ¡°Oh, I see.¡± Keyon nodded. ¡°However, those outsiders may suspect that Mr. Clough is up to something bad.¡± ¡°Keyon, Mr. Clough is a distinguished friend of the Niebergall family,¡± Tim said with displeasure. ¡°You will soon be the son-inw of the Niebergall family. Don¡¯t forget yourself.¡± Seeing this, the other members of the Duran family began to murmur together. There was amotion. Right then, Christina came out of the operating room. ¡°Everyone, thanks for your concern. My husband is fine.¡± Alexa didn¡¯t miss the disappointment in Jovan¡¯s eyes. ¡°Mr. Clough, you look displeased, don¡¯t you?¡± Alexa asked the question in a loud voice, so the crowd looked at Jovan. Jovan hid his emotions. ¡°I am worried about Mr. Duran.¡± ¡°My mother is a great doctor. Mr. Clough, don¡¯t worry,¡± Keyon said with a fake smile. ¡°Even so, I think it is better to consult a few more experts about the treatment.¡± Christina hadn¡¯t opened her mouth. Jovan impatiently added, ¡°By the way, I have invited a few experts from abroad. I hope they may help Dr. Fleming.¡± Christina instantly pulled a long face. ¡°What a coincidence!¡± Terrence said without hesitation. ¡°I also invited a few experts here.¡± This speech took Jovan by surprise, and his expression changed as if he had eaten a fly. Scott was sent back to the ICU by the nurses. Keyon personally escorted Scott back and did not allow anyone to approach Scott. Terrence and Alexa left with Christina. The three people walked to Central Garden. Christina stopped, turned around, and looked at the couple with a serious expression. ¡°What¡¯s your n?¡± Christina asked, ¡°He can live for seven days at most.¡± Alexa had foreseen this result. She looked at Terrence and saw no panic in his eyes. ¡°We will protect you first,¡± Terrence said calmly. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, and we will take care of the rest.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t need the property of the Duran family. I am afraid that Jovan will hurt you.¡± ¡°He can¡¯t.¡± Terrence¡¯s tone was t but somehow soothing. ¡°Mom, Henry came with us,¡± Alexa said. ¡°I told him to go to your apartment first.¡± ¡°Did he know what happened?¡± Christina sighed helplessly. In fact, she was a bit happy. Alexa knew that Christina needed emotional support. Right then, Christina saw Henry appear at the crossroad ahead. ¡°Well, see you.¡± Sensible, Alexa left with Terrence. Christina quickly walked to Henry. Before Christina said anything, Henry pulled her into his embrace. ¡°I am d that you¡¯re fine.¡± ¡°We will be fine.¡± Christina buried her head in Henry¡¯s chest with exhaustion. Suddenly, her eyes turned sour. ¡°Henry, I can promise you nothing. Will you hate me?¡± ¡°Christina, I will give you one promise.¡± Henry tightly held Christina in his arms. ¡°After the mess is over, will you marry me?¡± ¡°What if we have to wait for a long time?¡± ¡°That won¡¯t be a problem.¡± Henry smiled. ¡°I have waited for you for 20 years.¡± Alexa didn¡¯t look back till she was far away from Christina. Alexa felt relieved at the sight of the embrace between Christina and Henry. ¡°The head of the Duran family made a lot of blunders in the past,¡± Terrence said indifferently. ¡°What happened to him recently is a kind of retribution.¡± ¡°He will probably die of anger if he knows that someone covets his property.¡± Alexa didn¡¯t love Scott anymore after what had happened. The other members of the Duran family didn¡¯t leave the hospital. Alexa did not want to go there. ¡°I have contacted David. He wille with Finley tonight.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± The couple nned to go to the ce arranged by Keyon. They heard a quarrel around a corner. Alexa instantly recognized Giselle¡¯s voice. ¡°Dad, he is a good man. I don¡¯t care what you think. I will marry him anyway!¡± ¡°Screw you!¡± Tim shouted in anger and pped Giselle. Giselle covered her face and said nothing. Tim fumed with anger. ¡°We must get the property of the Duran family after that old man dies. If you ruin our n, I will kill you right now!¡± ¡°Keyon is my husband, so I will not let you hurt him!¡± ¡°Shame on you!¡± Tim tried to p Giselle again, but Terrence appeared and firmly held Tim by the wrist. Alexa smiled brightly after one nce at Tim and Giselle. ¡°Mr. Niebergall, why do you look embarrassed? We heard nothing.¡± Tim blushed with both embarrassment and anger. He was lost for words. ¡°What do you want to do after getting the Duran Group?¡± Terrence asked with a smile. ¡°Is Hudson Group your next target?¡± ¡°This is a matter of the Niebergall family. None of your business.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Alexa teased. ¡°How stubborn!¡± Giselle stood there with her head down and made no sound. Alexa had never seen Giselle so humble. ¡°You even pped your own daughter. How awesome you are!¡± Speaking, Alexa extended her hand toward Giselle. This move took Giselle by surprise. She was stunned for a while before stretching out her hand. ¡°She is my brother¡¯s fianc¨¦e now. I won¡¯t sit by if you beat her again.¡± Alexa tightened her grip and pulled Giselle over. Tim felt embarrassed. He said with a livid face, ¡°You¡¯re on your own now!¡± Giselle shivered with fear and watched Tim leave. Alexa called Keyon and then waited for him to pick Giselle up. It was quiet. Then, Alexa heard a burst of sobbing. ¡°What are you crying for?¡± Alexa asked. Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I¡­¡± Giselle lost control of herself and burst into tears. Terrence shot a cold nce at Giselle and then stayed by Alexa. ¡°Don¡¯t cry. I didn¡¯t me you,¡± Alexa said helplessly. Chapter 396 Chapter 396 Chapter 396 You Like Those Who With Pettish Character Terrence suddenly found that Alexa really didn¡¯t seem to know how tofort people. Although Terrence did not care much about Giselle, it was not a good thing to let her cry like this. Alexa looked up at Terrence awkwardly and squeezed out an expression, not knowing whether tough or cry. Terrence caught Alexa and deliberately asked Giselle a question. ¡°Keyon should be arriving soon, right?¡± Hearing Keyon¡¯s name, Giselle¡¯s mood indeed stabilized a lot. ¡°Yes, almost there.¡± N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. ¡°That¡¯s good,¡± Terrence said with an ambiguous tone. When Keyon arrived, Giselle no longer cried, but her red and swollen right face was very eye-catching. ¡°What happened?¡± Keyon held Giselle¡¯s jaw and looked at her carefully, his face a little gloomy. ¡°I¡­¡± Giselle did not dare to say it. Alexa said, ¡°Her father did it.¡± ¡°Tim?¡± ¡°Keyon, don¡¯t be angry.¡± Giselle leaned against Keyon¡¯s chest, and Keyon did not push her away. ¡°I understand. Let¡¯s go back.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Giselle was so delicate that even Alexa was moved. Although Keyon didn¡¯t show a very gentle expression, Alexa felt that Keyon¡¯s attitude towards Giselle was really different. ¡°We¡¯ll leave first.¡± Keyon held Giselle¡¯s hand and turned. He then continued, ¡°You should also go back early.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa watched them leave. Then, she suddenly asked Terrence, ¡°Do you also like those with pettish characters?¡± ¡°What?¡± Terrence instantly became alerted. ¡°I don¡¯t.¡± ¡°A lot of men should be quite fond of this, right?¡± Alexa was simply curious, but Terrence was not very enthusiastic. ¡°I don¡¯t know. I never think about this.¡± Thinking of all the things Giselle had done before, Terrence still did not have a good face for her. Alexaughed and kissed Terrence on the side of his neck willfully. ¡°Unhappy?¡± ¡°You want me to be interested in another woman?¡± Terrence¡¯s question caught Alexa immediately. Alexa was unhappy and held Terrence¡¯s waist like a spoiled child. ¡°Don¡¯t you dare!¡± ¡°I dare not.¡± Terrence seized the opportunity to hold her, and Alexa hugged him even tighter. ¡°Is your waist thinner again?¡± She suddenly asked. ¡°Haven¡¯t I been practicing ording to your standards?¡± Alexa knew that Terrence was very strict with his figure management and would ask about her preferences. She smiled and wanted to tease him. ¡°Is that so? I¡¯ll check itter and see if it¡¯s true.¡± Terrence¡¯s expression didn¡¯t change. Instead, he said very seriously, ¡°Madam, please control yourself.¡± Alexa was speechless. She didn¡¯t know how to react or what to say. ¡°Well¡­ Alright.¡± Alexa¡¯s face was flushed, and she no longer dared to speak seductively to Terrence. Terrence silently chuckled, but Alexa caught it. She yfully pped Terrence¡¯s arm and fiercely ordered. ¡°Don¡¯tugh! I don¡¯t want to talk to you anymore!¡± ¡°My dear, I was wrong.¡± ¡°It¡¯s toote.¡± Alexa decided to try again. ¡°Think about how you can make it up to me.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Terrence smiled ambiguously and yed with Alexa¡¯s hair in silence. After Keyon took Giselle back, the atmosphere in the living room was a little dignified. Giselle sat nervously on the sofa, her hands clutching the hem of her clothes. Keyon found the ointment, and his face did not ease at all. ¡°I¡¯ll do it myself.¡± ¡°I can handle this.¡± Keyon¡¯s tone was irresistible, but his actions of applying ointment for her were very gentle. ¡°My father intends toy his hands on you,¡± Giselle said with a pained look on her face. ¡°Why don¡¯t you leave me alone?¡± What nonsense are you saying?¡± Giselle¡¯s mental status was not very stable during this period. She had somewhat forgotten what had happened in the past, but she still remembered the painful experience very clearly. ¡°Actually, I know that you don¡¯t like me, right?¡± In the end, Giselle didn¡¯t even have the courage to continue. Keyon stopped his actions and didn¡¯t say a word. ¡°I don¡¯t want you to be in such pain.¡± Giselle forced a smile. ¡°So, why don¡¯t we cancel the wedding? I can¡¯t stop you from loving what you love.¡± ¡°Your father is your father, and you are you.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°And I didn¡¯t marry you half-heartedly.¡± When Keyon said this, he himself felt surprised. ¡°No matter how you look at me, in short, these are indeed my true thoughts,¡± he said calmly and firmly, ¡°I will take responsibility for what I should do. Of course, loving and caring for my wife is one of them.¡± Giselle¡¯s face was full of tears. Keyon patiently wiped her tears away and then kissed her eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t cry.¡± ¡°Keyon, is this my dream?¡± ¡°What do you think?¡± Keyon raised her left hand, and Giselle lowered her eyes to look at the shining diamond ring. ¡°I won¡¯t vent my anger on you because of your father, but I won¡¯t let him hurt you either.¡± He looked at Giselle¡¯s red and swollen cheeks with some distress. ¡°I will try my best to stay by your side.¡± The night was still calm, but there was a hidden undercurrent that was hard to detect. Tim¡¯s side was about to explode. He thought, Terrence and the others must have heard what I said just now¡­ Just thinking about this made Tim panic. Just as Irvin came over, Tim couldn¡¯t wait to stop him. ¡°You just came back from the hospital?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Irvin looked a little tired, and there was ayer of dark circles under his eyes. ¡°But Terrence and Keyon have sent people to guard there, and I couldn¡¯t get in at all.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s not worry about this first.¡± Seeing Tim¡¯s nervousness, Irvin could not help but frown. ¡°What is it now?¡± ¡°Hurry up and find someone to marry Giselle,¡± Tim ordered with a cold face, ¡°she can¡¯t marry Keyon.¡± ¡°What?¡± Irvin¡¯s face instantly sank. ¡°Didn¡¯t we already agree before? What do you mean by changing your mind now?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t mind so much.¡± Tim was a little impatient. ¡°Her whole heart is on Keyon¡¯s side now. Maybe one day she will sell you out.¡± Irvin didn¡¯t say anything and directly turned to leave. ¡°Hey, you! Come back!¡± Tim hurriedly chased after Irvin, but Irvin ignored him. Late at night, Keyon received a message from Irvin. When the two of them met, Irvin grabbed Keyon¡¯s cor and punched him without saying anything. Blood instantly appeared at the corner of Keyon¡¯s mouth, but Irvin had no intention of stopping. ¡°Bastard!¡± Irvin cursed, ¡°didn¡¯t you promise that you would take good care of my sister?¡± Keyon calmly wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth, not nning to fight back. ¡°What do you mean now? You want to break the engagement, right?¡± ¡°Irvin, make it clear who¡¯s the one that wants to break the engagement!¡± Keyon sneered coldly and put everything on the table. ¡°How many dirty things have your family done? Don¡¯t you know?¡± ¡°My sister was harmed by you to this extent. You have to be responsible for it to the end!¡± The two of them suddenly started fighting, and this scene was directly hit by Giselle, who had secretly followed them. Chapter 397 Chapter 397 Chapter 397 Are You Pregnant? ¡°Irvin!¡± Giselle immediately rushed up to protect Keyon. Irvin¡¯s raised fist fell angrily, and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely sharp. ¡°Giselle, don¡¯t protect him,¡± Irvin was furious, ¡°this scum is not worthy of your sincerity!¡± ¡°Irvin, he¡¯s not!¡± Irvin was in a fit of anger and hated Keyon to the bone. He couldn¡¯t listen to Giselle. And Keyon didn¡¯t give him a good look. He protected Giselle in his arms and looked at Irvin with a guarded gaze. ¡°She is my fianc¨¦e now. You can¡¯t take her away!¡± ¡°Keyon, shut up!¡± Irvin waspletely stimted by him, and as he spoke, he was about to pounce on Keyon again. Giselle tightly hugged Keyon, and her gaze became a bit more unfamiliar to Irvin, who had never seen her like this before. ¡°If you attack him, I will never recognize you as my brother!¡± ¡°What did you say?¡± Irvin asked, ¡°Do you know what you are talking about?¡± ¡°I know.¡± Giselle looked at Irvin coldly, as if she was looking at a stranger. Irvin felt a dull pain in his heart, and he looked at Giselle in surprise. Giselle, who he had risked his life to protect for more than twenty years, was nowpletely on the opposite side of him because of another man. ¡°Okay, I won¡¯t stop you.¡± As soon as Irvin finished speaking, Giselle left with Keyon without another word. Irvin watched them leave unwillingly, his face livid with anger. When Alexa saw them in the hospital the next day, both Keyon and Irvin had bruises on their faces, and Giselle¡¯s expression was not too good. Before Alexa could ask about the situation, Finley and David came over together. ¡°The expert panel has arrived,¡± Terrence said. ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa went with him to the expert panel to hand over the situation, leaving Keyon and the others in ce. Giselle lowered her head and stood beside Keyon, notmunicating with Irvin at all. Not long after, Tim also came over. When Tim saw Giselle, he was obviously very dissatisfied, but because Keyon was present, Tim did not dare to say anything. Alexa and Terrence apanied Finley and the others to Christina¡¯s office. In addition, severalwyers were present. David and Finley both checked the medical records. Their expressions were very grave. Alexa already understood what they meant. Inparison, Christina seemed very calm. ¡°I have already contacted thewyer,¡± Christina said rationally. Alexa was not interested in these things and nned to call Keyon in. But as soon as she opened the door, Tim impatiently squeezed in. ¡°Let¡¯s go see Mr. Duran. I must confirm his safety with my own eyes.¡± ¡°His situation is very unstable right now. He has declined all kinds of visits.¡± Christina coldly refused, ¡°Mr. Niebergall, please cooperate.¡± ¡°Any other questions?¡± Terrence looked at Tim with a faint smile. Tim looked at thewyers in suits and was obviously suspicious. ¡°What are these people doing?¡± ¡°It¡¯s my assistant,¡± Alexa smiled, ¡°is there a problem?¡± Tim was speechless by her answer, but he obviously did not believe Alexa. The atmosphere in the room was very depressing. When everyone could not stand it, a sharp scream suddenly sounded outside the door. ¡°It hurts!¡± ¡°Giselle!¡± Keyon nervously held Giselle in his arms, his heart in his throat. Giselle trembled in his arms with a pale face, and her body curled up in pain. ¡°Hurry up and send him to the emergency room!¡± Christina ordered in an orderly manner. The doctors and nurses immediately got busy. This was the first time Alexa had faced such a sudden situation. He was inexplicably flustered. ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± Terrence stayed by her side, her tone gentle and firm. Keyon¡¯s hands were stained with a lot of blood, and his white shirt was already dyed red. Irvin was so anxious that he was about to go crazy. He grabbed Keyon¡¯s cor without any exnation. ¡°What the hell did you do to Giselle!¡± ¡°Irvin!¡± Terrence growled and grabbed his wrist to pull him away. ¡°Don¡¯t make a scene here.¡± ¡°Terrence, what do you know!¡± Irvin was getting more and more emotional, and his eyes were frighteningly red. ¡°All right!¡± Alexa couldn¡¯t bear it anymore and roared, obviously angry. ¡°Irvin, don¡¯t add to the mess, okay?¡± By the time she finished speaking, Giselle had already been pushed into the operating room by the nurse. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. ¡°Her uterus is bleeding, and she needs an emergency operation,¡± the nurse hurriedly said, ¡°family member, hurry up and sign it.¡± Tim¡¯s face was gloomy, and he had no intention of caring at all. Irvin nned to sign it, but the notice was snatched away by Keyon. ¡°I will bear the responsibility.¡± After Keyon finished speaking resolutely, Irvin stood at the side in a daze, unable to squeeze out a word. The operationsted for a long time. When Christina walked out of the operating room, her entire body was drenched. ¡°Mom¡­¡± Keyon probed, even somewhat afraid. Christina did not speak, silently pulling Keyon to the side. ¡°Her life is saved,¡± Christina said in a grave tone, ¡°but her uterus is severely damaged. She probably won¡¯t be able to give birth again.¡± ¡°As long as she is safe.¡± Keyon let out a sigh of relief and did not say anything else. After Christina gave a few simple instructions, Keyon returned to the ward to apany Giselle. After Alexa saw the blood just now, she suddenly felt like vomiting. Terrence noticed her abnormality and immediately pulled her to the side. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Alexa shook her head stubbornly, and the nausea became even worse. ¡°Maybe I caught a cold.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s find a doctor.¡± Terrence said nothing and took Alexa to David. ¡°You feel dizzy and want to vomit?¡± David pondered for a moment and looked at them with a subtle gaze. ¡°Are you pregnant?¡± ¡°What?¡± Alexa and Terrence looked at each other and seemed a little nervous. ¡°It can¡¯t be ¡­ so sudden, right?¡± David took her wrist and felt her pulse. After a long silence, he said. ¡°Let¡¯s do another check. I guess you¡¯re really pregnant.¡± Half an hourter, Alexa received the medical report. Terrence looked at her without a word. She could only cover her lower abdomen andugh. ¡°Terrence, what should we do?¡± ¡°What should we do?¡± Terrence leaned over and pinched her face, smiling warmly. ¡°I heard that a daughter¡¯s IQ follows her father,¡± Alexa nodded seriously. ¡°It¡¯s pretty good.¡± ¡°Of course, she will be as smart and cute as you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s only been two months. It¡¯s still not very stable.¡± Alexa was actually very afraid in her heart. She still remembered the pain from thest time and still could not calmly face the fact that she had lost her child. ¡°I¡¯m not afraid.¡± Terrence kissed her forehead affectionately. ¡°I will definitely not let anything happen to you.¡± Alexa hid the examination report. ¡°When the fetus is stable, we will tell mom and dad then.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa was weak. After being pregnant this time, Terrence was particrly concerned, afraid that she would be knocked down. Chapter 398 Chapter 398 Chapter 398 Not Willing to Give Up the Treatment Alexa still went to Giselle¡¯s ward. Keyon was guarding Giselle by the bed, his gaze never leaving Giselle. It was the first time Alexa had seen Keyon with such a gentle gaze. Rather than calling it gentle, it was more like sincere and clear love. But when Keyon saw Alexa, he still restrained his emotions a little. ¡°Alexa.¡± ¡°Is she alright?¡± ¡°No big problem.¡± Seeing that he had been holding Giselle¡¯s hand, Alexa smiled. ¡°Is the weddinging soon?¡± ¡°When she recovers, we will hold the wedding.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa sat for a while, feeling a little nauseous, so she wanted to leave.But when she reached the door, Keyon suddenly stopped her. ¡°Alexa, I know what she did to you before.¡± Speaking to the end, Keyon suddenly felt a little guilty. ¡°Do you¡­ hate me?¡± ¡°No.¡± Alexa smiled. ¡°I¡¯m very happy that you can find someone worthy to apany you for a lifetime.¡± ¡°I will live with her in another ce. All the property of the Duran family will be yours.¡± ¡°Keyon.¡± Alexa frowned and suddenly became a little unhappy. ¡°Why would you think so?¡± She said with a serious expression, ¡°Could it be that in your heart, I said this for the sake of money?¡± ¡°Alexa, I just feel that I owe you a lot.¡± Keyon looked a little lonely. ¡°I said that I would protect you well, but it turned out I made you suffer so much.¡± ¡°It¡¯s all in the past.¡± Alexa¡¯s face was a little pale, obviously not wanting to continue the topic. ¡°Remember to let the doctor deal with the wound on your face.¡± After speaking, Alexa left the ward. When Alexa went out, Christina happened to leave from Terrence¡¯s side. They seemed to be talking about something just now, but Terrence suddenly interrupted and Alexa forgot to ask. ¡°Are you done chatting with Keyon?¡± Terrence naturally pulled Alexa into his arms. ¡°What did he say?¡± ¡°He still ns to get married,¡± Alexa said without much emotion. ¡°It¡¯s pretty good. I feel that they will really be happy.¡± But in all fairness, she had always had a knot in her heart for Giselle. After all, the ident of that child could not be unrted to the Niebergall family. Alexa kept it hidden in her heart and did not say it out loud, but in fact, she had always cared. ¡°Terrence.¡± Alexa leaned against Terrence¡¯s shoulder without a sense of security and showed him her most vulnerable side. ¡°The arrival of this child actually makes me quite uneasy.¡± Alexa¡¯s voice was a little hoarse. ¡°But in fact, I am looking forward to it. We will be a family of four in the future. It¡¯s really good.¡± Terrence hugged her tighter, but he looked gloomier. He sent Alexa back to the room. Alexa was indeed a little tired and soon fell asleep. Terrence sat on the side and watched her, his eyes focused on Alexa. Her sleeping face was very stable and she hadpletely put down her guard. But Terrence¡¯s grave expression had never rxed. Just now, Christina had given him another report. Alexa¡¯s current physical condition was actually not very suitable for pregnancy. Although the special medicine did have a great effect on her, her body was still somewhat weakpared to normal women. This was exactly what Terrence was worried about. But he knew that Alexa had always been looking forward to this child in her heart. She had actually changed the vitamins she usually ate into medicine to prepare for pregnancy. Terrence actually knew about these things, but he could not bear to break Alexa¡¯s expectations. At this time, Christina was clearly very worried. She had been frowning ever since she learned that Alexa was pregnant. Henry had prepared the food, but Christina didn¡¯t have an appetite. ¡°What is it?¡± Henry asked nervously, ¡°Is it because tonight¡¯s dishes are not to your liking?¡± Christina shook her head and put down her fork. ¡°It¡¯s fine. I just have a headache.¡± Henry helped her massage her temples, but the anxiety in Christina¡¯s heart never lessened. ¡°Have you been too tired for the past two days?¡± Henry said gently, ¡°I¡¯ll go get the bath water ready. You can take a bath and rx.¡± Christina held his hand and rubbed her face against his palm. ¡°It¡¯s Alexa. She¡¯s pregnant.¡± Henry subconsciously revealed a happy expression, but when he saw that Christina¡¯s expression was not very good, he immediately noticed that something was wrong. ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°Alexa¡¯s body is actually not suitable for pregnancy, but I think she probably won¡¯t give up on this child.¡± Although Christina and Alexa did not spend much time together, Christina was very clear about her daughter¡¯s nature. Alexa was very stubborn. Whenever she had set her mind on something, she would always stick to it. ¡°No mother would easily give up her child. I can tell from Damar that Alexa actually likes children very much.¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± Christina sighed. ¡°Terrence is probably struggling now.¡± Just as they were busy with this matter, the news suddenly came from the Niebergall family. Irvin decided to leave Ice Floral Ind. N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. Tim was so angry that he did not even intend to attend Giselle¡¯s engagement ceremony. He directly left on a private ne. It was said that the Niebergall family and Jovan had a conflict, which eventually led to the two of them dispersing in discord. In just one night, Scott¡¯s condition worsened. Finley sent a notice of critical illness, and Christina decided to give up the treatment. After all, this was good for everyone. But when Christina held a family meeting, an unfamiliar uninvited guest suddenly came. ¡°I do not agree to give up the treatment.¡± The woman¡¯s voice was very strong. When Christina saw the woman¡¯s face which was somewhat simr to Scott, she suddenly had a bad feeling. Beside the woman was Scott¡¯s secretary, Toby, who had disappeared for a long time. ¡°Scott is my elder brother. Regarding this matter, I should have the right to speak, right?¡± The woman walked proudly in front of Christina. Her proud smile was full of provocation. ¡°This is Mr. Duran¡¯s younger sister, Isobel Duran.¡± Toby spoke calmly, and everyone present heard him clearly. ¡°Christina, do you think you¡¯re in full charge when Scott can¡¯t speak?¡± Isobel pointed at Christina and scolded angrily, ¡°You took advantage of his illness and raised your little lover in private. What a bitch!¡± When these words came out, the scene was instantly in an uproar. ¡°Christina, what exactly is going on?¡± ¡°Have you been lying to us all this time? You are so shameless!¡± ¡°You are not qualified to stop us from going to see Mr. Duran!¡± The usations on the scene rose and fell. Those people were like wild dogs that had suddenly found meat. They all rushed up and bit Christina. Finley stood in front of Christina with a cold face. He was clearly angry. ¡°Haven¡¯t you had enough?¡± He asked coldly. ¡°Is the face of the Duran family so worthless?¡± ¡°You are just colluding!¡± Isobel pressed. ¡°You want to privately annex Scott¡¯s property? No way!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she mmed a paternity test on the table. Everything was clear. Isobel was indeed Scott¡¯s half-sister. Chapter 399 Chapter 399 Chapter 399 Not Popr Christina hid the surprise in her eyes very well. But when she thought of the messy rtionship in the Duran family, she suddenly felt that it was normal. ¡°Ms. Fleming, Mr. Duran said that the ownership of the Duran Group will be handed over to Isobel,¡± Toby said confidently. Isobel arrogantly took out a few documents. She was well prepared. In an instant, the entire living room was quiet. The rtives of the Duran family wanted to share the family property. Before Christina could get things done, there came Isobel. Other people also had someints. When Alexa and the others arrived, Isobel was arrogantly sitting on the main seat with her legs crossed, looking like she was the head of the family. ¡°So this is the nephew and niece I have never met before. It¡¯s so good to see you.¡± Isobel said sarcastically and looked at Christina provocatively. ¡°Pack up quickly and leave the Duran family.¡± ¡°How dare you! You have no right to drive us away,¡± Keyon shouted with a cold face. ¡°Don¡¯t I?¡± Isobel sneered indifferently, ¡°You have to be clear that I am the legitimate heir to the Duran family.¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡± Christina looked pale as she suddenly called off the meeting. Alexa stood beside Terrence, her face pale. She had a strong pregnancy reaction and kept vomiting last night. Terrence was so distressed. He did not want her toe, but Alexa insisted oning. Although Alexa did notmunicate directly with Isobel, Isobel had noticed her long ago. Alexa was Mrs. Ramsey, a great rival for Isobel. ¡°Let¡¯s talk about this after my husband wakes up. No one is qualified to make a decision right now,¡± Christina ordered coldly. ¡°Sure. Of course, I can wait,¡± Isobel sneered fearlessly. After they left, Isobel called Toby over. ¡°I heard that her daughter gave birth to a son for the Ramsey family?¡± ¡°Yes. The child is two years old now, and the Ramsey family values her a lot,¡± Toby said meticulously. ¡°She has a son. What about my son?¡± Isobel smiled meaningfully and said. ¡°Toby, you won¡¯t let me down, right?¡± ¡°You mean¡­¡± ¡°Get rid of her and her son. Anyway, that old man won¡¯t live for long. We have to get things done as soon as possible, so as not to have any future trouble,¡± Isobel said calmly as she yed with her fingers. In fact, Toby did not agree with her risky way of doing things. Alexa was the daughter-iw of the Ramsey family. If they provoked the Ramsey family, neither Isobel nor Toby could get away with it. ¡°Is there no other way? Will it be¡­¡± ¡°Darling, can you bear to see our son live in shadow for the rest of his life? We endured it for 20 years just to wait for this day toe. Can you bear to let the chance go?¡± Isobel stroked Toby¡¯s cheek affectionately. ¡°Alright.¡± Toby finallypromised. After Alexa and Terrence returned to their room, they were exhausted. Terrence thought it over and over again, but he still tentatively said. ¡°Alexa, your health has yet to fully recover¡­¡± ¡°I know what you want to say.¡± Alexa had mixed feelings, but she did not want to escape. ¡°But Terrence, I can¡¯t bear to let it go.¡± Alexa said, her eyes turning red. ¡°I have already lost a child. I don¡¯t want to lose the child.¡± ¡°I understand,¡± he said firmly. Terrence reluctantly pulled her into his arms. ¡°No matter if it¡¯s a daughter or a son, this is thest one. You can¡¯t ask for more in the future.¡± ¡°OK.¡± Alexa fell into a deep sleep. When she woke up, it was almost dinner time. She heard that Isobel was going to hold a dinner party tonight to talk about inheritance rights. Alexa did not want her mother to suffer injustice, so she also nned to attend the party. Although her belly was not bulging, Alexa still wore a loose dress. Terrence dressed in a suit to match her dress. When they walked together, they were dazzling. When they entered the venue, Isobel smiled kindly at them. A young man was sitting next to Isobel. He looked to be in his early twenties, but his eyes were extremely malicious. Alexa subconsciously felt that he was very dangerous. After looking at him, she quickly shifted her gaze. ¡°Alexa, this is your cousin, Zeke. Zeke, hurry and greet your cousin,¡± Isobel said enthusiastically. Zeke was very obedient, just like a little boy. ¡°Nice to meet you, Alexa, Terrence.¡± But Alexa just responded indifferently, and Terrence didn¡¯t even look at him. Isobel was quite embarrassed and smiled dryly. Christina smiled faintly. Her aura was extremely strong. ¡°Christina, since we¡¯re a family, we don¡¯t have to stand on ceremony.¡± N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. ¡°Ms. Isobel, we are not that familiar,¡± Terrence replied politely. Isobel knew that Terrence was a tough nut to crack, so she did not take the initiative to provoke him. ¡°Alexa, what happened this morning was just a misunderstanding.¡± ¡°Is that so? You¡¯re not trustworthy,¡± Alexa said indifferently. ¡°I was just worried about my brother. You also have a brother, don¡¯t you?¡± Isobel chuckled. It was a tough meal for Alexa and Christina. Isobel meant topete with the Duran family¡¯s property with them. Her ambition was too obvious, and she didn¡¯t mean to conceal it at all. ¡°I know that Christina has nned to divorce. Don¡¯t worry, I will help you with this matter.¡± Christina did not answer, but her eyes were full of hostility toward Isobel. However, with Terrence here, Isobel did not dare to be too arrogant. Isobel wanted to get Zeke into the Duran Group, but Keyon just rejected her. This banquet, which seemed calm on the surface, ended unhappily. Alexa had a strong pregnancy reaction, so Terrence quickly brought her back. But just as they reached the door, Alexa saw Giselle waiting not far away. Giselle wore little and looked haggard, as if she had not recovered from her serious illness. Although Giselle didn¡¯t speak to Alexa, she saw Alexa¡¯s pregnancy reaction. Therefore, she knew Alexa was pregnant. Giselle¡¯s eyes dimmed, even tinged with a trace of bitterness. But Keyon appeared in time, blocking her line of sight. ¡°You haven¡¯t recovered yet. Why are you here?¡± He took off his coat and wrapped it around Giselle. He was distressed for her. ¡°I just wanted to see you. I¡¯ve been staying in bed for the whole day. And I want to catch some fresh air,¡± Giselle said weakly. Giselle wanted to greet Alexa, but thetter left directly. Giselle thought that she was not liked by others. Sensing that she was in a low mood, Keyon held her even tighter. ¡°Are you cold? Let¡¯s go home.¡± ¡°Keyon, I want to find an expert to cure me.¡± Giselle suddenly said. ¡°I¡­ I want to have a child.¡± Hearing this, Keyon immediately looked shocked. ¡°You¡¯re in poor health. I don¡¯t want you to suffer. We can be DINK.¡± Chapter 400 Chapter 400 Chapter 400 Aren¡¯t You Curious About My Background? ¡°DINK?¡± Hearing that, Giselle instantly wanted to cry. ¡°Keyon, let me think of another way, OK?¡± She was looking forward to having a child with Keyon. But Giselle also knew that it would be difficult for her to conceive. ¡°If I can¡¯t give birth to your child, Keyon, will you abandon me?¡± In all fairness, Keyon didn¡¯t like children. If they were to have children, they had to be responsible for them. Moreover, he didn¡¯t want Giselle to suffer again. But for the sake of Giselle¡¯s emotions, Keyon said patiently. ¡°Of course not. No matter if we have a child or not, I love you all the time.¡± Giselle was very insecure, burying her head into Keyon¡¯s arms and crying for a long time. ¡°It was my fault. I ruined our happiness.¡± ¡°No.¡± Keyon wiped away her tears and said, ¡°It¡¯s getting colder. Let¡¯s go back.¡± ¡°OK.¡± After they left, Isobel brought Zeke out of the hall. Zeke looked very sophisticated and sinister,pletely devoid of his innocence just now. ¡°Zeke, they are no match for you, right?¡± Isobel stroked Zeke¡¯s face lovingly. ¡°Mom, I will take back whatever belongs to us,¡± Zeke smiled at her. ¡°What a good child.¡± Isobel¡¯s eyes were full of ambition, and her gaze became colder. After a night of discussion, Christina decided to transfer Scott to New York for treatment. Since she had made a decision, no one dared to object. Alexa was a little unustomed to the climate of a new ce, and Christina felt distressed about her. She would not allow Alexa to stay here. In just a few days, Alexa had lost a lot of weight. After returning to New York, Terrence cooked some dishes that Alexa loved the most. But after a few bites, Alexa stopped eating and did not seem to have any appetite. When Rebekah saw this, she quickly spent a lot of money to hire a top nutritionist to customize Alexa¡¯s diet. ¡°Didn¡¯t Terrence take good care of you?¡± Terrence sat obediently beside Alexa and did not answer. Alexa smiled, unable to hide the joy in her heart. ¡°Mom, I am pregnant.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Rebekah cried out in high spirits, wishing that she could immediately tell everyone this good news. ¡°It¡¯s just that I¡¯m still in the early stage of pregnancy. Terrence and I don¡¯t intend to announce this news for the time being.¡± ¡°Yeah, for the sake of safety.¡± Rebekah smiled from ear to ear and generously ordered a set of jewelry for Alexa. She even gave Alexa a lot of money. It just so happened that Yareli carried Damarion over. This little guy had not seen them for a few days, and now he was clingy to Alexa and Terrence. ¡°Damarion, did you miss Mom and Dad?¡± Damariony on Alexa and put his arms around her neck, refusing to let go. Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. ¡°Baby,e to Dad.¡± Terrence¡¯s tone was gentle. ¡°Don¡¯t let Mom get tired.¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Alexa stroked her lower abdomen, looking forward to this new life. Seeing this, Damarion imitated her actions and pressed his little hand on Alexa¡¯s stomach. ¡°My sister is here¡­¡± Damarion said happily, smiling. Alexa felt so rxed. Hearing that Keyon nned to hold an engagement banquet today, Alexa had to attend the banquet with Terrence. Keyon almost invited all the powerful people in New York. Giselle¡¯s dress was specially made by a stylist a month ago, and even the jewelry was the only one in the world. Giselle gracefully took Keyon¡¯s hand and walked out in front of everyone, as gorgeous as a princess. But she looked around and did not see the Niebergall family. ¡°Tim Niebergall seemed to be absent,¡± Alexa said. Terrence held her waist and whispered. ¡°He doesn¡¯t have the cheek to show up.¡± Alexa silently lowered her eyes and let Terrence entertain the guests. She walked to the rest area on the side and silently watched the bustle in front of her. ¡°Alexa.¡± Hearing the gentle voice, Alexa looked up at the person. Zeke held a ss of champagne in front of her and greeted her with a smile. ¡°What a coincidence. I didn¡¯t expect to meet you here,¡± Zeke said. Alexa didn¡¯t intend to pay attention to him and just nodded politely. ¡°Yeah.¡± ¡°Why are you sitting here alone?¡± He sounded very innocent. ¡°Can I trouble you to introduce me? I¡¯m new here and don¡¯t know anyone.¡± ¡°If you can¡¯t get into the circle, don¡¯t force in.¡± Alexa interrupted him with a straight face, obviously not wanting to beat around the bush with him. ¡°Alexa, aren¡¯t you curious about my background?¡± ¡°No. I don¡¯t need to know who you are.¡± Zeke still wanted to pester her, but Alexa was a little annoyed by him. Suddenly, a tall figure appeared in front of her. ¡°Alexa.¡± Hearing Kieran¡¯s voice, Alexa felt a lot more at ease. ¡°Mr. Powell.¡± Kieran directly ignored Zeke and said to Alexa like a gentleman. ¡°The snacks over there are pretty good. Do you want to try them?¡± He reached out to help Alexa and then smiled politely at Zeke. He did not intend tomunicate deeply with him. ¡°Who is that man? He looks unfamiliar,¡± Kieran asked curiously. ¡°Zeke Duran. Hees to take away the Duran family¡¯s property,¡± Alexa said lightly. Kieran smiled and did not take that childish man to heart. ¡°Thank you for helping me out just now.¡± ¡°You¡¯re wee.¡± As soon as Kieran¡¯s voice fell, Kieran caught a glimpse of Terrence walking towards them. ¡°I¡¯m going to entertain the guests.¡± Kieran teased, ¡°In case he is jealous.¡± Alexa looked over and saw Terrence walking towards her quickly. He held her waist and pulled her into his arms, showing his possessiveness. Alexa fed him a strawberry and deliberately teased him. ¡°Are you jealous?¡± ¡°Why did hee to talk to you again?¡± In front of Alexa, Terrence tried his best to maintain his politeness towards Kieran, but he sounded unhappy. ¡°I happened to meet him, so we chatted for a while.¡± Like coaxing a child, Alexa said, ¡°Can¡¯t you be generous?¡± ¡°No.¡± Terrence said firmly and didn¡¯t let go of Alexa. Zeke watched their actions from the side and felt it was quite funny. He called the waiter and sent Alexa a ss of juice. Alexa was not on guard. She picked up the juice and took a sip. Zeke smiled with satisfaction and quietly hid in the crowd. When the banquet was close to the end, Alexa suddenly felt hot. Sensing that something was wrong with her, Terrence quickly sent her to the hospital. ¡°Terrence, my stomach hurts¡­¡± Alexa held his hand with a pale face, and she was covered in sweat. Edwin looked through the rearview mirror and was shocked by Terrence¡¯s murderous expression. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. We will go to the hospital now. It will be fine.¡± ¡°I feel cold¡­¡± Alexa¡¯s voice was shaking so much that she held herself in pain. Chapter 401 Chapter 401 Chapter 401 He Is a Kid Never had Terrence been in such a panic. With a pale face, Terrence hugged Alexa tightly. ¡°Rx.¡± Terrence repeatedlyforted Alexa. ¡°We¡¯ll be at the hospital soon. Alexa, hold on.¡± ¡°How is my child?¡± Under pressure, Alexa broke down and burst into tears. ¡°It¡¯s fine. You two will both be fine. Don¡¯t worry!¡± Terrence ran to the emergency department with Alexa in his arms and demanded the doctors start an operation immediately. Half an hourter, Edwin arrived with his investigation result. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, here is the update. The juice that Mrs. Ramsey drank is problematic.¡± Edwin looked stern. ¡°I got the sample and theboratory report. The waiters are under control.¡± ¡°Find the culprit!¡± Terrence looked intimidating. ¡°We must find the mastermind!¡± ¡°Yes!¡± One hour passed, and the door of the emergency department was finally open. The doctor came out with sweat on his forehead and excitement on his face. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, your child is fine.¡± Terrence asked without hesitation as if he hadn¡¯t heard the doctor. ¡°How is my wife?¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey is fine too,¡± the doctor patiently exined. ¡°She took a small number of stimnts, so the blood cirction in her body sped up. Fortunately, there is no stimnt anymore.¡± ¡°Okay, thank you.¡± Terrence nodded with relief and then felt a surge of hatred. Alexa was pushed into the ward by a nurse. She was in aa, and all her skin was red with ayer of cold sweat on it. Terrence knew what the stimnt was. The analysis report sent by Edwin confirmed what Terrence had thought. ¡°Who is the culprit?¡± Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. ¡°I¡¯m looking into the case.¡± After Terrence left a few instructions to Edwin, an unexpected guest arrived. Kieran hurried here because he heard that Alexa was in the hospital. Kieran had been a doctor for many years and knew what was wrong with Alexa at a nce. ¡°She ate something she shouldn¡¯t.¡± Then, Kieran asked coldly, ¡°Did you get the culprit?¡± Terrence rubbed the space between his eyebrows in frustration. ¡°Not yet.¡± ¡°Check Zeke.¡± ¡°Do you know him?¡± ¡°I got acquainted with Alexa because of him.¡± Kieran did not have a good impression of Zeke. ¡°Back then, Zeke pestered her.¡± ¡°Scoundrel! He is digging his own grave.¡± ¡°Zeke is not simple. He is ambitious at least.¡± Kieran frowned. ¡°I heard that he is connected with the Duran family.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care who he is connected with.¡± Terrence¡¯s tone was ice-cold. ¡°He hurt my wife, so he deserves his punishment.¡± Kieran was supportive of Terrence on this point. That night, Terrence personally took his men to the Duran¡¯s ce. Isobel was ying cards with arge group of rich people. Men and women gathered together, and the air smelled bad with the smoke and wine in it. The abrupt arrival of Terrence froze the lively atmosphere. After one nce at Terrence, Isobel immediately changed her expression and went over with a smile. ¡°Terrence, why did youe?¡± Isobel was enthusiastic. ¡°Hanna, please make some coffee.¡± Terrence remained cold and waved Isobel¡¯s hand away in front of the crowd. Isobel felt embarrassed, and the smile on her face froze. ¡°Where is Zeke?¡± ¡°Zeke is studying upstairs. He is still a kid anyway.¡± ¡°A kid.¡± Terrence sneered, and the light in his eyes became dangerous. Isobel sent a servant to invite Zeke downstairs. Zeke in in casual clothes did look like an innocent and harmless college student. He beamed at the sight of Terrence. ¡°Terrence, what is up?¡± Terrence threw the analysis report to Zeke without a word. ¡°Is this your work?¡± ¡°Sorry,¡± Zeke said with confusion. ¡°I don¡¯t understand what you are talking about.¡± ¡°Still ying dumb with me?¡± Patient, Terrence told his man to bring him the ss. ¡°Do you recognize this? Your masterpiece at the engagement party.¡± Seeing this, Isobel instantly defended her son. ¡°Terrence, Zeke is a kid. You will scare him.¡± ¡°Will I?¡± Terrence fixed his sinister gaze on Zeke¡¯s face. ¡°Which child will be more promising than him? Or, Ms. Isobel, you brought up your child properly.¡± Realizing that something was wrong, the guests tried to leave with excuses. Terrence winked at his men, so the guests couldn¡¯t leave. ¡°You still refuse to confess.¡± Terrence lost his patience. ¡°I will turn to the judiciary for justice. You deliberately drugged my wife, so how many years do you think you will be sentenced to?¡± Hearing this, Isobel couldn¡¯t maintain her smiling face. ¡°Terrence, what do you mean? How can you nder my son groundlessly?¡± ¡°He knows better than any of us whether it is a nder.¡± Terrence sounded calm, but his polite smile was frightening. ¡°My wife doesn¡¯t care how you fight for the property of the Duran family, so neither do I.¡± Terrence¡¯s voice was not loud, but everyone present heard it clearly. ¡°However, if you don¡¯t know what¡¯s good for you, don¡¯t me me for being ruthless.¡± This speech was like a p on the face of both Isobel and Zeke. Isobel always tried to impress others that Zeke was the favored heir of the Duran family, and what Terrence had just said ruined her scheme. Angry, Isobel pped Zeke. ¡°Stupid thing! Apologize to Terrence now!¡± Zeke immediately turned red in the eyes and looked pitiful. However, Terrence felt nothing but vexed. ¡°Alright, see you in court.¡± Terrence was kind to Zeke because he didn¡¯t use violence on the spot. Terrence drove back to the hospital after leaving the Duran¡¯s ce. Alexa was fine but still weak. When Terrence arrived at the ward, Alexa just woke up. ¡°Terrence,¡± Alexa spoke in a hoarse voice. Her eyes were still red. Obviously, she had a good cry. Terrence felt a sharp pain in his heart. ¡°Alexa.¡± Terrence held Alexa in his arms withpassion. ¡°You¡¯re fine now. Don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°Is our baby fine?¡± ¡°Yes, very.¡± Alexa nodded in a daze. Then, she asked, ¡°Who?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll deal with this case,¡± Terrence spoke calmly. He gave Alexa a small kiss on her ruffled hair. ¡°Sleep now. Good night.¡± ¡°Stay with me.¡± ¡°Okay. I won¡¯t leave.¡± Alexa couldn¡¯t fall asleep unless she was in Terrence¡¯s arms. It was early the next morning. Aron came to visit Alexa. Terrence blocked Aron at the door of the ward to stop him from disturbing Alexa in sleep. ¡°What happened? I heard that you sent Zeke to prison.¡± Chapter 402 Chapter 402 Chapter 402 Zeke Will Lose His Inheritance ¡°He deserved it.¡± Terrence answered indifferently and ruthlessly. Aron was somewhat surprised. ¡°You are much more warm-hearted now than before.¡± After all, if Terrence wanted to deal with it secretly, Zeke would no doubt be in an even worse situation. And now, Terrence only sent him to court. Therefore, Zeke was lucky enough. After all, everyone in New York knew how precious Alexa was to Terrence. Someone might still be forgiven if he annoyed Terrence, but if he annoyed Alexa, he woulde to his end. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it,¡± Terrence replied unhappily. ¡°How would I move on so easily?¡± ¡°So, do you intend to get involved in the matter of the Duran family? It¡¯s a tough task.¡± ¡°Such a simple battle is not worth wasting my time at all.¡± Terrence¡¯s deep eyes told that he was quite angry. ¡°But since they are so brave, I will give them a chance to be my rival.¡± Aron couldn¡¯t help but get sweaty for the Duran family secretly. Once Terrence joined the battle, it would not end up so easily. When Aron left, Alexa happened to wake up as well. Terrence instantly became gentle, and his eyes were filled with joy. ¡°Alexa, did you wake up?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa rubbed her eyes and felt losing her strength because she had slept for too long. ¡°I feel much better. Can we go back home now?¡± Terrence knew that she did not like staying in the hospital, so he patientlyforted her. ¡°Have breakfast first. I will ask the doctor about it. If there was no problem with your body, we would leave the hospital, okay?¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa nodded and agreed. She looked much better. Alexa did the cleaning work and found Terrence put the breakfast on the table. ¡°What would you do to Zeke?¡± ¡°What do you think, Mrs. Ramsey?¡± ¡°Would you ask for my suggestion? I¡¯m afraid I will not be able to control myself,¡± Alexa smiled sweetly and replied. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it. I¡¯m here to stop you from being too ruthless.¡± ¡°They are ambitious. They can¡¯t bear it so soon.¡± ¡°I have already asked thewyer to deal with it. The case will be started in court soon.¡± ¡°Isobel is probably going crazy when Zeke is sued at the critical moment.¡± Once Zeke¡¯s crimes were confirmed, it would be a shadow that he would never be able to get rid of in his life. ording to the rules of the Duran family, Zeke would also lose his inheritance. Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. Sure enough, as soon as they finished breakfast, Edwin came to report the matter. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Mrs. Ramsey. Mr. Duran woke up.¡± ¡°Got it,¡± Alexa was not surprised, ¡°so he managed to wake up.¡± ¡°Ms. Duran has already arrived there.¡± After Edwin left, Alexa smiled gently and looked at Terrence. ¡°Then shall we go and visit my good daddy? Hubby.¡± After that, Alexa specially picked up a customized ck dress that made her look elegant. Terrence subconsciously helped Alexa put on the dress and then took theopportunity to hug her. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°What did you just call me?¡± ¡°What?¡± Terrence buried himself in her neck and seemed to be a spoiled child. ¡°Can you call me again, baby?¡± ¡°Hubby?¡± Alexa called Terrence again and found him hugging her even more tightly. ¡°Well, that¡¯s it,¡± his ears were slightly blushed, ¡°can you call me a few more times?¡± Alexa could not help but smile. She had only casually called Terrence just now, but she did not expect Terrence to be so concerned about how she called him. But Alexa did not seem to call him hubby often since they got married. ¡°Hubby,¡± Alexa said gently, ¡°hubby, are you happy?¡± Terrence kept on smiling. Even when Alexa was putting on makeup, he had been staring at her in the mirror. Unlike being a sweet girl before, Alexa deliberately put on cool and elegant makeup today. In the ck dress, Alexa became more noble and elegant. When they arrived at the hospital where Scott was, many people had already gathered in the corridor. It was quite noisy in the patient¡¯s room, and they even heard somedy crying. Alexa recognized that it was Isobel. She and Terrence directly pushed open the door and went in, instantly attracting everyone in the room. Scott could not move as hey on the bed. He could only move his eyeballs and fixed his eyes on Alexa. Alexa¡¯s elegant appearance made Scott extremely angry, but he could only whimper and could not speak aplete sentence at all. Keyon and Giselle stood by the side, silently nodding at them. Isobel, instead, put on an unnatural expression as she stopped crying, trying her best to hide in the crowd. But Alexa did not intend to fight against Isobel at that moment. She stood upright by the bed and nced at Scott from high above. ¡°Dad.¡± Alexa spoke without any affection. Scott¡¯s eyes were filled with hatred, but Alexa put on a faint smile indifferently, not treating him seriously at all. ¡°It¡¯s great that you woke up.¡± Alexa added, ¡°I wish you can recover soon. As your daughter, I won¡¯t allow those strangers to bother you.¡± Hearing it, Isobel tried to avoid Alexa¡¯s eyes. ¡°Ms. Duran, if you have words for us, just speak them out. You don¡¯t need to hide it from anyone.¡± ¡°I just want to chat with Scott.¡± ¡°Is that the case?¡± Alexa smiled. ¡°Seeing you cry so sadly, I thought you had suffered a lot.¡± ¡°It¡¯s about Zeke.¡± Isobel said and carefully nced at Terrence a few times, looking angry but not daring to tell the truth. ¡°What? What¡¯s wrong with Zeke?¡± Alexa asked curiously, but Isobel hesitated and refused to tell them the fact. ¡°Alexa, I know that Zeke did something wrong. But please, for the sake of your father, can you let him go this time, okay?¡± Isobel showed off her weakness with a pale face. ¡°What?¡± Alexa yed with Terrence¡¯s fingers with great interest, looking innocent and harmless. ¡°Then we can allow him to take this opportunity to grow up, isn¡¯t it good?¡± ¡°But he shouldn¡¯t be sent to prison, right?¡± Isobel asked and continued to sob again. ¡°He is still so young. It will destroy his whole life!¡± Everyone present watched her performance indifferently, showing off no feelings at all. However, Scott got excited, and even his heart rate was much faster. Keyon med Isobel indifferently. ¡°Please shut up. You bothered my dad.¡± Isobel was speechless, but she refused to move on easily. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, dad. Don¡¯t worry about me. Although Zeke did y some dirty tricks, I¡¯m fine now,¡± Alexa exined as if she was tolerant. Isobel¡¯s face turned dark. ¡°Just now, in front of my dad, shall we solve the problem? What¡¯s your opinion?¡± Alexa casually argued back by telling the fact that she was trapped by Zeke. ¡°The witness¡¯s words and material evidence have already been handed over to the legal system. I believe the court will give us a fair conclusion.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°After all, Zeke is a member of the Duran family.¡± ¡°Then we have to teach him a lesson even more strictly,¡± Terrence added ruthlessly. ¡°Otherwise, do you want to ruin the Duran family¡¯s reputation?¡± Chapter 403 Chapter 403 Chapter 403 Please Have Fun Isobelpletely failed to argue back. Scott was lying half-dead on the bed and could not help her at all. At such an embarrassing moment, Toby silently entered the room. ¡°Ms. Duran, the Duran family will hold a charity party tomorrow night. If Mr. Duran was not present, I¡¯m afraid it would be difficult to exin in public.¡± Isobel thought that Alexa would still think of an excuse to disagree with Toby. But Alexa smiled as if it was nothing. ¡°Mr. Chapman, you are the one that my father trusts the most. You may easily know his intention well.¡± ¡°Thank you, Ms. Duran.¡± ¡°In that case, there is no need to mess everything up. Just let Zeke go this time.¡± Before Isobel got happy about it, Keyon added unhappily. ¡°Ms. Duran, please ask Zeke to behave himself seriously. We would not let him go so easily if he did it again.¡± ¡°He won¡¯t do it again.¡± Isobel had no choice but to bear it. Alexa skipped over her and Toby secretly. And finally, she left with Terrence silently. ¡°Isobel has never told others who Zeke¡¯s father was,¡± Terrence said indifferently. ¡°But her secret was uncovered too quickly, and she just did a lot of silly things.¡± ¡°What about Toby?¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, you are so smart. Of course, you can see through it,¡± Terrence answered quite proudly. ¡°So, they will no doubt have to make even more efforts to fight for the property. Otherwise, they would fail to make use of the child out of marriage.¡± ¡°Please have fun,¡± Terrence didn¡¯t care about them at all, ¡°if you don¡¯t want to y the trick anymore, I¡¯ll end it.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa ran into Terrence¡¯s eyes and put on a sweet smile. They just knew each other so well. Alexa didn¡¯t go home. She went to the bar that Thalia opened. Hearing someoneing at the door, Thalia looked up. ¡°Hello.¡± Thalia was not excited. After greeting Alexa, Thalia continued to clean up the bottles in her hands. Alexa found her seat at the bar counter and sized up the decoration work around curiously. The ssical style still had its special features, and it was very suitable for three or five friends to chat with each other here. It was indeed like Thalia¡¯s style. ¡°It looks very quiet.¡± ¡°It hasn¡¯t been officially opened yet,¡± Thalia replied. ¡°But it won¡¯t be very noisy here. I don¡¯t like such a noisy environment.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa nodded and looked at Thalia. Thalia did not put on any makeup today. Her long hair was casually tied up and she was dressed in a very simple fashion. ¡°You look much better.¡± When it came to that, Thalia¡¯s face secretly blushed. ¡°Dr. McMin took good care of me. I didn¡¯t expect it before,¡± Thalia said and could not help smiling. Alexa recalled the day when she met them on the street. Alexa knew Finley well. Once Finley decided to love someone, he would no doubt want to do anything he could for his lover. ¡°Would you like a drink?¡± ¡°No, I¡­¡± ¡°I know it.¡± Thalia nodded as if she knew everything and warmed a ss of milk for Alexa. ¡°Congrattions, Mrs. Ramsey!¡± ¡°Did Finley tell you about it? It¡¯s still at an early stage.¡± Alexa pursed her lips in embarrassment. ¡°You don¡¯t know how nervous Terrence is. He must be very happy, right? Are you going to give birth to a younger sister for Damar?¡± Thalia asked with much interest. ¡°I¡¯m not sure about it.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Thalia waved her hand casually and said without embarrassment. ¡°If I can give birth to one baby too, I will ask you for an engagement of our children.¡± ¡°Sure,¡± Alexa also smiled, ¡°by the way, my mom is asking if you have got prepared for your wedding.¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. Thalia instantly hesitated. ¡°Shall we get married so soon? I didn¡¯t expect it before.¡± Although Thalia was indeed trying to fall in love with someone who would marry her in the future, she hadn¡¯t been in a love rtionship with Finley for a long time. ¡°It¡¯s so troublesome to get married. I still want to continue enjoying my sweet life in a love rtionship,¡± Thalia said and got depressed. In the end, Thalia was even more embarrassed. ¡°Moreover, he hasn¡¯t officially proposed to me yet.¡± Alexa chatted with Thalia for a while, then Terrence came. ¡°Mr. Ramsey,¡± Thalia kidded him on purpose, ¡°are you still worried about her even though she was along with me?¡± ¡°You have been together for too long.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Thalia was simply speechless. Terrence was such a powerful president of the Hudson Group. However, he was so into a romantic love rtionship. He just could not live a normal life without his wife. Terrence carefully protected Alexa when she got up. He held her hand and didn¡¯t free her at any time. ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave now,¡± Alexa said to Thalia. ¡°See you.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± After getting in the car, Terrence happily handed over a bunch of white roses to Alexa. ¡°What day is it today? Why did you suddenly buy me flowers?¡± Alexa asked happily. ¡°I found white roses very fresh when I passed by the flower shop. I know you like them. So I bought them for you.¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, you are so romantic.¡± ¡°Compared to being romantic, I¡¯d rather understand you more.¡± Alexa smiled sincerely, and she forgot about her bad feelings before. At the same moment, Isobel hurried to pick Zeke up. However, in just one night, Zeke looked a lot more tired. He seemed to be in a bad mood. ¡°Zeke, are you okay? They didn¡¯t make things difficult for you, did they?¡± ¡°No.¡± Zeke waved her hand away in frustration. He impatiently took off his coat and threw it on the ground. He did not expect that Alexa would dare to fight against them. ¡°That crazy bitch!¡± Zeke cursed, ¡°she didn¡¯t seem to care about any gossip about her at all.¡± Isobel got excited and spat, ¡°She only relied on Terrence to be so arrogant. She was nothing but a bitch, like her mom!¡± ¡°I heard that Scott woke up.¡± ¡°He did, but he is useless now.¡± ¡°We can make use of him as long as he has woken up.¡± Zeke smiled like evil and began to prepare for the evening party tomorrow night. Because it was a party held by the Duran family, most of the celebrities in the business world came. Scott was sick in bed, so Christina attended the party on his behalf. Many of the guests present were secretly gossiping until Isobel brought Zeke in, and they drew everyone¡¯s attention. Isobel and Zeke walked straight to the stairs where Alexa and others were as if they were challenging Alexa. ¡°Christina.¡± Isobel called in public, and the crowd all heard it. Alexa didn¡¯t look at Isobel and fixed her eyes on Zeke who was behind Isobel. Compared to that night, Zeke seemed to behave himself better today, and he indeed looked like a childish boy. He respectfully nodded to greet them, but they ignored him. ¡°Are you still angry with me?¡± He asked pitifully, looking quite wronged. Alexa had seen it many times and did not even want to waste her time dealing with him. ¡°Angry?¡± Terrence helped Alexa slowly walk downstairs, and they stood in front of Zeke from upstairs. ¡°Zeke, you¡¯re making things too difficult for me.¡± Alexa smiled indifferently and arrogantly. ¡°Why did you take yourself so seriously?¡± Chapter 404 Chapter 404 Chapter 404 Would You Marry Me? "Alexa..." "They are watching us.¡± Alexa received the handkerchief from Terrence and wiped her palm. "You don''t have to y a trick here. I don''t believe your tears at all.¡± Alexa did not show respect for Zeke. After that, Alexa directly took care of her dress and turned around to leave. Zeke stood unmoved with astonishment and heard the gossip of the crowd. "Why did he still try to get the family property as a child born out of marriage?¡± "Ms. Duran was so tough." "That''s why she can be Mrs. Ramsey.¡± But Alexa ignored the gossip. After dealing with Zeke, she held Terrence¡¯s arm and left. Then, Keyon and Christina hosted the party. Alexa went to the lounge with Terrence. As soon as no one could see them, Terrence hurried to pick her up on the waist. "Put me down. I can walk on my own.¡± "No," Terrence refused to let Alexa go, "you are not used to wearing high heels. Today, you have been wearing it for so long. You must be very ufortable." "I''m not that weak." Alexa smiled sweetly and put her arms around Terrence''s neck. Terrence put her on the sofa and then knelt on his knee. He carefully took off Alexa''s high heels to massage her feet. "Don''t worry about me so much. I''m quite well." "Of course, I will. Did you not sleep wellst night?" Terrence asked because he cared a lot about Alexa. "When I had Damarion in my belly before, I often had insomnia. I was used to it. "The nutritionist said that I needed to recover slowly." ¡°Alright.¡± Terrence massaged her for a while. Alexa was less exhausted. After a few minutes, someone knocked on the door. "Who is it?" Alexa asked curiously. Terrence got up and opened the door. The next moment, Alexa heard someone shouting. "Daddy, Mommy!" "Damar? I didn¡¯t expect you toe,¡± Alexa said in surprise. "Mr. Ramsey, Mrs. Ramsey. Mrs. Duran asked me to bring Damarion over," Yareli said, following behind Damarion. "I see.¡± Alexa nodded thoughtfully and then hugged Damarion with a smile. It was the first time Damarion had attended such a banquet. Today, he wore a well-fitting children''s suit and looked very adorable. When they brought Damarion out of the hall, Christina even took the initiative to carry Damarion away. From Christina''s attitude, it could be seen that the Duran family valued such a lovely grandson very much. Isobel was secretly watching them, and her face turned dark with anger. Her son belonged to the Duran family, but the Ramsey family¡¯s little bastard attracted everyone. Isobel was not willing to show weakness and led Zeke to wander among the rich, but they showed respect for Isobel and Zeke just because of Alexa. In the end, when getting prepared for taking a family photo, Christina did not even invite Zeke onto the stage. The media found something wrong and surrounded Christina and her family members, as well as Isobel and Zeke. "Sorry, noment." Terrence refused calmly, and in an instant, no one dared to find trouble with them anymore. Instead, Isobel performed as if she was leading a miserable life in front of the camera. Of course, they knew what Isobel was doing, but no one cared about these tricks that could not be counted as wise. After walking out of the door, Christina finally reluctantly put Damarion down. "Damarion, you have grown a lot taller. Grandma felt difficult to carry you," Christina said with deep affection. Damarion sensibly held Christina''s hand and slowed down to follow her. "Watch out the stairs!" Giselle suddenly shouted. Before anyone could react, she threw herself in front of Damarion. Alexa was shocked. But Damarion was protected in Giselle''s arms, and nothing happened. "Are you okay?" Giselle asked Damarion gently. Damarion did note to his senses for a while and looked at Giselle who was in front of him with confusion. "Giselle." Keyon quickly went forward to help her and Damarion stand up. Damarion couldn''t wait to jump into Terrence''s arms, and Alexa asked Giselle. "Ms. Niebergall, are you okay?¡± Giselle smiled gently and answered. "I''m fine. It''s Damarion who might have been frightened by me." "It doesn''t matter. Thank you." After thanking Giselle, they did not chat anymore. They farewell to each other. After getting in the car, Terrence carefully examined Damarion. ¡°It''s fine." Only then did Alexa feel relieved. "How could Giselle be aware of it? So, has she been watching Damarion all this time?" Terrence suddenly realized something and asked. Alexa did not think too much about it. Instead, she held Damarion in her arms out of fear. At the same moment, Keyon directly asked the driver to head for the hospital. "It''s fine," Giselle smiled helplessly, "it''s just a scratching wound on the back of my hand. Don''t be so nervous." "It may be infected." "Are you worried about me?" ¡°Of course." Giselle keptughing, and Keyon sighed helplessly. "I don''t know that you care so much about Damarion." "He is a young boy," Giselle was in a good mood, "and he is indeed very cute." Keyon knew what she meant. "I have already contacted the gynecologist. Let''s visit her this weekend." "Keyon, does it mean that I should not be desperate?¡± "Everything depends on fate. Don''t make yourself under too much pressure." They arrived at the hospital and happened to meet Thalia in the corridor. "Well, nice to meet you. Are you here to visit Dr. McMin?¡± Thalia took the initiative to greet them. Keyon didn''te specifically to find Finley, but Finley had juste back from his daily work. Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. Finley checked the wound on Giselle¡¯s hand and allowed them to follow him into the consulting room. Giselle only suffered a small injury and was quickly treated. Keyon looked at Thalia, who was waiting by the side. He understood it and left with Giselle. Finley got dressed up in another suit, and he finally looked more easygoingpared with his appearance when he was at work. "Sorry," he said sincerely, "I promised you before that I would apany you to watch a movie tonight. Is it toote now?" "It doesn''t matter.¡± Thalia was not angry at all and held his arm intimately. "The patients need you very much. You have been exhausted today. We can go to the movies next time.¡± "I will make it up to you on our next date." Thalia nodded and looked down at her toes. She then kept silent. Finley knew that she must have words for him. "Do you have a secret?" "Yes," Thalia curled her lips, ¡°it is about our rtionship.¡± "Is it because I haven''t been a good boyfriend recently? You can tell me the fact directly." "No. I just think that you''ve done too well, so..." Thalia hurriedly replied. "So what?" "So can you allow me to move to the next stage?" Before Finley could understand it, Thalia hooked his ring finger with great interest. "I want to get married," Thalia said. Then she asked directly, "Finley, would you marry me?" Chapter 405 Chapter 405 Chapter 405 Are You Serious? Finley seemed to be surprised a lot that Thalia would have suddenly proposed to him so directly. ¡°I¡­¡± ¡°You just need to tell me whether you¡¯d like to marry me.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Finley nodded seriously and held her hand tightly. Thalia liked his innocent appearance. ¡°That¡¯s enough. Since you are off work tomorrow, let¡¯s go get the marriage certificate. Thalia was even more straightforward. ¡°You don¡¯t have to be in such a hurry. I haven¡¯t formally visited your family members yet,¡± said Finley rationally. Thest time they were quite unhappy in thew office. Thalia didn¡¯t want Finley to visit them because they might vent their anger on Finley. Thalia was a little unhappy about it. ¡°Do you care about their opinions?¡± ¡°These are all that I should have done. It can¡¯t be skipped over. Moreover, I don¡¯t want to make you regret it one day.¡± Finley was always able to speak her mind out calmly. Thalia was quite moved in by his words and loved him so much. ¡°Alright. I¡¯ll listen to you. Then why not invite Alexa and her family members to dinner? Shall our two families have dinner tomorrow? Then we¡¯ll make an engagement.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Finley put on a faint smile. Thalia was simply so that into Finley. She held Finley¡¯s arm tightly as if being afraid of losing him, half of her body sticking to him. ¡°No matter what my parents will say, you are mine. Finley, you won¡¯t be able to escape from me,¡± Thalia dered without Finley¡¯s permission. ¡°I won¡¯t escape from you.¡± Thalia had already moved in to live with Finley for a long time. The house used to be too quiet, but it was now piled up with Thalia¡¯s private things. One could easily figure out that the male owner of the house now had a girlfriend living together. N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. Thalia called Alexa. Of course, they were happy to be invited. But when Thalia was to contact her family members, she hesitated. She was not excited at all. Thalia held her phone and struggled for a long time, but she did not dial the number. Finley took a shower and handed her a ss of warm milk. ¡°If it¡¯s difficult for you, leave it to me.¡± ¡°No problem. I just need some time,¡± Giselle answered stubbornly. ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll apany you.¡± Finley sat next to her patiently, flipping through the books. Thalia understood that Finley was apanying her to ovee the difficulty. After thinking it over, Thalia called her Grandma. ¡°Grandma. I want to get married,¡± Thalia said gently. Rosse kept silent on the phone. Thalia pursed her lips and got extremely nervous. But a momentter, Rosse didn¡¯t me Thalia angrily as Thalia expected. ¡°Thalia, do you want to get married? Which boy? I haven¡¯t known him yet,¡± Rosse asked gently. Thalia suddenly could not hold back her tears. Her parents treated her as a shadow, and of course, they would not tell Grandma about what they had done. ¡°Come and meet him tomorrow night. He is very good. You will no doubt like him,¡± Thalia said with tears in her eyes. Rosse agreed quickly, looking like she felt indeed happy for Thalia. She chatted with Rosse for a while. Rosse was always concerned about Thalia¡¯s dowry and did not say a single word to me Thalia. ¡°Honey, don¡¯t worry,¡± Rosse smiled and said, ¡°I have already prepared a dowry for you. We will make you get married happily.¡± Before hanging up the phone, Thalia burst into tears. She bit her lips hard, avoiding Grandma to figure it out. Finley silently hugged her in his arms. Thalia hung up the phone and cried in his arms for a long time. ¡°From now on, we¡¯ll be together in our life. Don¡¯t cry, I won¡¯t let go of your hand,¡± Finleyforted Thalia gently. Christina was in charge of the engagement banquet. Keyon and Alexa were present along with their family members, which showed how much Christina cared about Thalia. Thalia¡¯s parents also came together with Rosse, but as expected, they seemed to be somewhat forced there. However, Finley did not treat anyone differently. He was always polite. Rosse liked such a grandson-inw very much and even directly proposed to ask Thalia to take over the Crompton Group directly. Seeing it, Christina directly gave 10 percent of the shares of the Duran Group to Thalia. ¡°I treat Finley as my born son. So, you are also my daughter-inw.¡± ¡°Thank you, Mrs. Duran.¡± ¡°Why did you call my mom ¡®Mrs. Duran¡¯? It seemed that you were not close. Finley, how should you call her now?¡± Alexa advised Finley. ¡°I heard that mom admitted Finley as her adopted son many years ago,¡± Keyon immediately added! ¡°That¡¯s true.¡± Christina nodded. However, Christina just fulfilled Finley¡¯s parents¡¯ wish to admit Finley as her adopted son. She had never forced Finley to call her ¡°mom¡±. At that moment, Finley raised his wine ss and called Christina seriously and respectfully. ¡°Mom.¡± Christina was a little shocked, but she was indeed quite happy. Seeing it, Thalia also followed Finley and called Christina ¡°mom.¡± Christina was overjoyed and gave them another gift. Instead, Thalia¡¯s parents seemed a little unhappy. No one cared about them, but Elena coughed slightly as if she had something to say. ¡°Mrs. Duran, Thalia is the cherished daughter of the Crompton family. We still need to discuss it before allowing them to get married.¡± Thalia stopped smiling. ¡°I just can¡¯t marry my daughter to no one.¡± Rosse sipped her tea silently. She seemed to be a little unhappy. On such an important day, someone was trying to make things difficult. ¡°Ms. Elena, if you want something else, just tell us about it.¡± ¡°We don¡¯t know Finley¡¯s family background well. If we just epted the money that the Duran family casually gave us, we would still doubt if we should marry my daughter to him,¡± Elena said arrogantly. ¡°After all, we don¡¯t know if you are serious about it.¡± At that moment, it suddenly became embarrassing at the banquet after what Elena said. Terrence silently nced at Elena. He had already seen through her thoughts. Elena simply felt that Finley was not a good match for the daughter of the Crompton family because he did not belong to a noble family. ¡°Don¡¯t I know whether he likes me or not? I call you here just to inform you that I am going to get married. I won¡¯t allow you to point fingers at me,¡± Thalia could not bear it anymore and argued back. ¡°Thalia¡­¡± James secretly warned her, but Thalia did not care about what they said at all. ¡°You always care about if you can make use of me. When have you ever cared about if I¡¯m happy? Am I your born daughter?¡± Thalia asked with a smile. James and Elena¡¯s faces turned dark at her words, but there were too many big shots present at the moment. They did not want to start a fight with Thalia. ¡°Stop it. You are more confused now. I also think Finley is a good boy. If you want to me him for no reason, I won¡¯t agree with it,¡± said Rosse unhappily. ¡°Mom.¡± James felt unhappy but gave up. In the end, he kept silent. No one cared about whether James and Elena were happy. Terrence and Finley cheered and it became joyful at the banquet again. After the banquet, James and Elena left very quickly. Christina called Finley over and talked to him for a long time. Alexa apanied Thalia to book a wedding dress. Chapter 406 Chapter 406 Chapter 406 They Intervene in My Marriage She got a top designer to customize a wedding dress for Thalia. However, after they arrived at the wedding dress shop, Thalia was not in a good mood. ¡°Are you still thinking about the dinner?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± Thalia was not happy at all. ¡°They obviously did it on purpose. Finley is such a good person. Why are they not satisfied?¡± Alexa smiled without saying a word. Although Ms. Elena said something unpleasant, from the perspective of her parents, it seemed understandable. ¡°You are the apple of the Crompton family¡¯s eye. It¡¯s normal for your parents to be worried about you,¡± Alexa said patiently. ¡°Alexa, even you are speaking up for them?¡± Thalia became even more depressed. ¡°Since I was a kid, they have never supported my decisions,¡± she said indignantly. ¡°They controlled my life, and now they even want to intervene in my marriage.¡± ¡°Well, don¡¯t be angry.¡± Alexa ordered two sses of juice andforted her. ¡°Just wait to be a beautiful bride. Dr. McMin will solve those things.¡± Hearing that, Thalia was curious. She asked, ¡°Alexa, how long have you known Dr. McMin?¡± ¡°I heard from my mother that we have known each other for a long time. But I can¡¯t remember what happened in the past,¡± Alexa smiled. ¡°I always feel that you seem to trust Dr. McMin very much.¡± ¡°Yes. So do you, right?¡± Alexa¡¯s smile impressed her. Thalia, who was just angry, could not help but smile now. ¡°Dr. McMin is very reliable,¡± Alexa said seriously. ¡°At least my subconscious tells me I should believe him.¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± Thalia nodded as if she understood. After the tailor measured her, she nned to leave. ¡°I have a date with Dr. McMin tonight,¡± Thalia said shyly. ¡°We want to see a movie.¡± ¡°Got it, Mrs. McMin. Go. Don¡¯t let Dr. McMin wait too long,¡± Alexa said jokingly. ¡°Alexa, you.. Alexa raised her phone to let Thalia not worry about her. ¡°I¡¯m waiting for Mr. Ramsey.¡± Thalia smiled and did not ask again. Terrence hadn¡¯t arrived, so Alexa continued to wait for him at the wedding gauze shop. There were many new wedding dresses that were designed by the Duran Group. She saw a few pieces and really liked them. ¡°Do you want to try it?¡± She suddenly heard Terrence s voice. Alexa turned around, and he saw her smile. However, she shook her head. ¡°No.¡± Alexa held his arm. ¡°I¡¯ve already worn it, and I don¡¯t need to wear it a second time.¡± In fact, the wedding dress she had worn was very simple, and it even didn¡¯t haverge hemlines that she favored. But at that time, Alexa did not care. She was already very happy to be able to marry Terrence. ¡°If you want, you can put on the wedding dress, and we will take photos.¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes focused on the well-made wedding dresses, and the smile on his face became tender. ¡°You will look good in it.¡± However, Alexa shook her head. ¡°No,¡± she smiled. ¡°I don¡¯t have any regrets, because the person I love is right beside me.¡± Terrence looked into her smiling eyes, and he got instant crushes on her. However, Alexa immediately stroked her belly disappointedly. ¡°My belly is gettingrger,¡± she whispered. ¡°My waist bes thicker.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Terrence held her hand. ¡°You are still very pretty. Don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°What if I were out of shape and became ugly?¡± She asked very seriously, ¡°After all, fertility is still very harmful to women¡¯s health.¡± ¡°In my eyes, you always look pretty.¡± Terrence leaned over and kissed her forehead. ¡°I only want you to be safe.¡± Alexa did not say much. She held Terrence¡¯s hand and walked out of the wedding dress store. It was a little cold outside, and the wind seemed to be mixed with rain when it blew to the face. Terrence tidied her cor and held Alexa in his arms tightly in case she caught a cold. ¡°Are you full?¡± Alexa nudged him. Terrence and she looked at each other and smiled. ¡°Are you hungry again? What do you want to eat?¡± he asked. ¡°I don¡¯t have much appetite. I want to eat something appetizing.¡± There were ordinary dishes at the banquet just now. After Alexa was pregnant, she became picky about food. She had no interest in those dishes. But she did not want to bother Terrence anymore. After all, he had also been busy for a day. ¡°I¡¯ll just order some takeout food,¡± Alexa said. ¡°Let me order once. I won¡¯t do it again.¡± Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. Terrence did not say whether it was okay or not. He got her into the car and drove to the mall. ¡°You have your husband. You would rather eat takeout food than let me cook for you!¡± he said with jealousy. ¡°No. I just don¡¯t want you to be too tired, honey,¡± Alexa said sweetly. As long as Alexa called him ¡°honey¡±, Terrence would find it hard to say no to her. ¡°Alright.¡± He said and parked the car in front of the mall. ¡°What do you want to eat?¡± Terrence got a shopping cart and carefully asked for Alexa¡¯s opinion. ¡°I want to eat something spicy.¡± Alexa said truthfully, ¡°Something sour and spicy. I have no appetite for others.¡± ¡°You like spicy food?¡± Terrence smiled lightly, and there was great joy in his eyes. ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± ¡°I have heard that pregnant women¡¯s appetite can indicate the gender of babies. But it is not scientific. Perhaps it is not correct,¡± Alexa said. ¡°No matter if it¡¯s a boy or a girl, I will love our baby.¡± ¡°He or she must be as smart and cute as Damarion.¡± When it came to her son, Alexa¡¯s tone became more gender. ¡°Damarion is a great kid.¡± Terrence was even nicer to Damarion than Alexa. ¡°But Dad should always be more serious, right?¡± Alexa said seriously. ¡°I can¡¯t be serious with him.¡± Terrence said without hesitation, ¡°And Damarion is very good. He¡¯s like you.¡± Alexa knew that Terrence doted on the children and was not willing to be angry with Damarion at all. After they bought the ingredients, they went home. Because it waste, Terrence did not cook much for Alexa. Damarion refused to go to sleep and kept talking to Alexa. Terrence directly carried Damarion away. ¡°Mom is very tired today,¡± Terrence said gently. ¡°How about Daddy telling you a bedtime story today?¡± Terrence was very good atmunicating with children, and Damarion always listened to him. After having Damarion go to bed, he came to Alexa again. ¡°Are you happy? I¡¯ll give you another massage. You might have a better sleep tonight,¡± he said carefully. Then, they got a call from the hospital. ¡°Alexa, he¡¯s getting worse. Come to the hospital,¡± said Christina calmly. Chapter 407 Chapter 407 Chapter 407 I Can¡¯t Be Away From You Alexa and Terrence immediately rushed to the hospital. Keyon and Giselle had already arrived. They stood outside the ward and looked serious. In addition, other rtives of the Duran family also arrived at the hospital. The condition was really terrible. Half an hourter, Christina came out of the sick room. ¡°ording to his will, the Duran Group will be inherited by Keyon and Alexa. Thewyer has already verified it. Does anyone have any objections?¡± Christina announced. After she said that, those people didn¡¯t dare to say anything more. ¡°So Mr. Duran has already¡­¡± ¡°The doctor has already dered death.¡± Christina¡¯s tone was very calm, but her eyes were red, and she looked like she was trying to hold back her emotions. Everyone was very quiet. No one dared to say anything. Christina was capable, and she quickly handled everything. When Isobel, who was crying, brought Zeke to the hospital, it was already toote. After reading the will, she was so shocked that she almost fainted. ¡°That¡¯s impossible! How could my brother leave the Duran Group to them!¡± she shouted, paying little attention to how she looked now. ¡°This is the truth. If you¡¯re questioning it, you can ask thewyer,¡± Christina replied coldly. ¡°It¡¯s you! You must have done something!¡± Isobel pointed at Christina and cursed, ¡°You vicious woman!¡± ¡°Isobel, are you crazy? Don¡¯t make a fuss here,¡± Keyon growled in anger. ¡°Why didn¡¯t anyone inform me when my brother was dying? You obviously did it on purpose. What are you trying to hide?¡± Isobel asked. ¡°Toby, as my father¡¯s assistant, has just informed all the family members of the Duran family. Why is it that only you didn¡¯t know?¡± Alexa said calmly. Her words instantly rendered Isobel speechless. Zeke stood next to her and fixed his eyes on Alexa as if he was staring at his prey. Sensing his hostility, Terrence vigntly stood in front of Alexa, and his eyes were terrifyingly cold. ¡°If you continue to look at her like this, your eyes will be gone.¡± Terrence said with a fake smile, instantly attracting everyone¡¯s attention. Zeke subconsciously looked away, but Terrence did not let him go. ¡°Do you have any problems with my wife?¡± ¡°I just saw that my sister doesn¡¯t look good. I want to care about her.¡± Zeke smiled. ¡°There is no need for you to be so hostile to me, right?¡± ¡°She doesn¡¯t need your care.¡± Terrence interrupted him without giving him any respect. It seemed that he was really angry. Alexa held Terrence¡¯s hand without giving Zeke a look. ¡°Alexa, you¡¯re tired. Go have a rest.¡± Christina said to Alexa. Alexa indeed felt a little tired, so Terrence took her to the lounge. ¡°Do you feel ufortable?¡± ¡°I feel a little dizzy. Maybe I caught a little cold just now. It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Alexa touched her forehead lazily. Even so, Terrence still called the doctor to give her checkups. ¡°I¡¯m okay,¡± Alexa smiled. ¡°Don¡¯t be nervous.¡± Alexa knew that even if she said so, Terrence would still not be at ease. ¡°You are always weak,¡± Terrence said with a serious face. ¡°You have to pay more attention after you get pregnant.¡± He held her hand, obviously very worried. ¡°Your hand feels so cold. Are you cold?¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± Terrence directly put her hand in his arms and did not let her go. ¡°Let¡¯s go back,¡± he said in a deep voice. ¡°This ce is too chaotic. It is not a ce where you should come.¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t you ask me whether I felt sad?¡± Alexa bantered with him, but she did not expect Terrence to take it seriously. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯m not considerate enough,¡± he said sincerely. ¡°Of course, I¡¯m not sad.¡± Alexa even smiled lightly, ¡°This may be the best oue for him. He won¡¯t go to prison.¡± Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. As she spoke, Alexa¡¯s eyes became even colder. ¡°To be honest, I won¡¯t let him go. He has done too many wrong things. He is not worthy of being forgiven.¡± Her tone was a little ruthless. ¡°Take it easy.¡± Terrence brushed Alexa¡¯s hair and said, ¡°Rx.¡± Alexa leaned in Terrence¡¯s arms and sighed with disappointment. ¡°I¡¯m a little tired.¡± ¡°Then have a good rest,¡± Terrence took her back. They met Christina at the entrance of the inpatient building, and next to her stood Henry. They were talking just now, but when they saw Alexa, Christina seemed to stop talking. ¡°Are you going back?¡± She looked at Alexa with a gentle smile. She waspletely different from just now. ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa nodded. She didn¡¯t look good, and her face was a little pale. ¡°The hospital¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it. I can handle it well.¡± Christina turned to look at Terrence and said to him. Terrence, please take good care of Alexa.¡± ¡°Mom, are you okay?¡± Alexa suddenly asked, but then she felt that she was worrying too much. As expected, Christina instantly held Henry¡¯s arm and smiled happily. ¡°I¡¯m fine. We¡¯ll get married when this thing is over,¡± said Christina cheerfully. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about the Duran family. I¡¯ll¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m not worried about them.¡± Christina shrugged indifferently. ¡°I¡¯ve never been worried about them. It¡¯s just that I have to fake it.¡± Seeing that Christina didn¡¯t care about that, Alexa was relieved. She and Terrence walked to the entrance of the hospital and just happened to see Zeke leaving by car. Just now in the hospital corridor, they had a very unpleasant quarrel. Now that they met, Terrence couldn¡¯t stand him. ¡°Well, don¡¯t waste time on him.¡± Alexa pulled his sleeve, and Terrence came back to his senses. After getting in the car, he directly hugged Alexa. ¡°I don¡¯t want those men to get close to you. You know, I¡¯m not tolerant,¡± he said in a low voice. ¡°Alright.¡± Alexa patted him on the back, as if she was stroking an angry lion. ¡°I didn¡¯t talk to him, and he didn¡¯t do anything to me. You don¡¯t have to be so nervous.¡± ¡°He seems to be up to no good. Stay away from him, and don¡¯t talk to him. I¡¯ll deal with him.¡± Terrence was still cautious of him. ¡°Okay. I got it.¡± Alexa couldn¡¯t retort, so she just listened to him. The news of Scott¡¯s death quickly spread. Christina was busy holding the funeral, while Keyon was dealing with those troublesome rtives with thewyer. Alexa was protected by Terrence. She stayed at home and did note into contact with those troubles at all. He did not even go to thepany. Instead, he took care of her at home. ¡°I am not that weak. You don¡¯t have to worry too much about me,¡± Alexa said. ¡°It¡¯s not that you can¡¯t be away from me.¡± Terrence held her in his arms and refused to let her go. ¡°I can¡¯t be away from you.¡± Chapter 408 Chapter 408 Chapter 408 She is Scheming ¡°That¡¯s mushy.¡± Alexa smiled and joked, but she did not push Terrence away. The Duran family announced to the public that she was too sad and was resting at home, so no one came to disturb her. Alexa was happy to rx and did not get involved in those things. ¡°I heard that Isobel was so sad that she fainted.¡± ¡°What she had done is useless.¡± Terrence did not care. ¡°No matter how she made a fuss, it couldn¡¯t change anything.¡± ¡°She didn¡¯t get enough shares to be in power. She might be very depressed.¡± Although she had made a scene, Christina still gave some shares to Isobel for the sake of her rtionship with Scott. Although it was not enough to make her powerful, it could cover her daily expenses for the rest of her life. On the day of the funeral, Alexa brought Damarion there. When Isobel saw them, she looked at them angrily but did not dare to say anything. She looked down and walked away. ¡°Hello, Damarion,¡± When Alexa heard Giselle¡¯s voice, her expression softened. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you feel not well? It is quite cold today. Don¡¯t catch a cold.¡± Alexa greeted her. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Giselle shook her head gently, still looking a little weak. ¡°I¡¯m much better. Damarion is a kid. You have to pay more attention.¡± She seemed to be very concerned about Damarion. Alexa knew that she might not have any hostility, but Alexa still couldn¡¯t fully trust her. ¡°I heard from my brother that you have been preparing for pregnancy recently?¡± Speaking of that, Giselle didn¡¯t look good. ¡°My health is not very good, so I can only try my best.¡± ¡°I know a few good doctors. If you need it, I will give you their contact information.¡± ¡°Okay! Thank you!¡± Giselle looked so moved that she was about to cry. Alexa gave her the doctors¡¯ name cards. Giselle took them gratefully with tears in her eyes. ¡°I am also looking forward to having a cute kid like Damarion.¡± Giselle liked Damarion very much, but Damarion, who was shy with strangers, was not close to her. After they chatted for a while, Thalia came over. ¡°Alexa, Mr. Ramsey is looking for you.¡± ¡°Got it. I¡¯ll be right there,¡± Alexa replied. Hearing that, Giselle left. Thalia nced at her back and looked at Alexa in surprise. ¡°What happened? I heard from Dr. McMin that your rtionship doesn¡¯t seem to be very good,¡± Thalia asked. ¡°He even told you this? I thought he didn¡¯t notice these things.¡± Alexa was surprised. ¡°You¡¯re wrong.¡± Thalia chuckled. ¡°He is interesting. There are many things hidden in his mind.¡± ¡°It has all passed.¡± Alexa didn¡¯t care about that. ¡°She is also a victim. She is recovering now.¡± ¡°The Niebergall family hasn¡¯t sent anyone here today.¡± Thalia lowered his voice. ¡°Giselle insisted on marrying Keyon. Irvin is supposed to be quite angry.¡± Thalia still wanted to continue gossiping, so Terrence came over to take away Alexa. Thalia had never seen such a jealous man. She had only talked to Alexa for a few minutes, but Terrence looked like she was going to snatch Alexa away. ¡°What are you thinking?¡± Hearing Finley¡¯s voice, Thalia subconsciously held his hand. ¡°I¡¯m watching that couple because my fianc¨¦ didn¡¯te to be with me,¡± Thalia said calmly. ¡°Isn¡¯t he here now? Don¡¯t look at others,¡± Finley said. He was also possessive of her. ¡°Sure.¡± Thalia was so delicate when facing him. ¡°Don¡¯t you need to go talk to the guests?¡± ¡°Mrs. Duran is over there. There¡¯s no need for me to interfere.¡± Finley was full of respect when speaking of Christina. As soon as he finished speaking, there was a noise over there. Christina, in a ssic ck dress, elegantly walked over under the crowd. Compared to her usual low-profile, today, she clearly looked impressive and gorgeous. Isobel, who followed behind her, lost her thunderpletely. ¡°My God.¡± Thalia could not help but say, ¡°This is what a hostess of a wealthy family should look like.¡± Christina smiled, and she finished the normal funeral in an imposing manner. Alexa held the ck umbre and stood side by side with Terrence. There was no expression on her face. But Zeke suddenly came over. ¡°I heard that you have been too sad these two days,¡± Zeke said with a fake smile. ¡°The dead have passed away. You need to take good care of yourself.¡± ¡°Thank you. I heard that you have been dealing with thewyer for the past few days. Did something happen?¡± Alexa whispered without a change in expression. ¡°No. Don¡¯t worry about it.¡± However, after a few words, Terrence¡¯s face already darkened. Zeke knew that he was not likable, so he did not provoke Terrence.Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. But after Alexa left, Zeke¡¯s friend said in a strange tone. ¡°Is she the heir you were talking about?¡± Zeke¡¯s eyes were cold. He was like a beast staring at its prey in the grass. ¡°Not any longer.¡± ¡°She seems to be quite difficult to deal with.¡± The man on the sideughed. ¡°She is quite scheming. She even had a thing with Terrence.¡± ¡°So what? No one cant take away what I want,¡± Zeke said in a low voice fiercely. A woman suddenly screamed not far away. ¡°What are you doing? I didn¡¯t push you. Don¡¯t me me!¡± Isobel looked at the woman in front of her with a pale face. Giselle was in so much pain that her face turned white and cold sweat quickly soaked her hair. ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°Giselle!¡± Keyon quickly stepped forward to protect Giselle and red at Isobel. ¡°What did you do?¡± ¡°I¡­ It has nothing to do with me! She fell down on her own!¡± Isobel stepped back. ¡°Blood! There is blood!¡± The woman next to them cried out in rm, instantly attracting everyone¡¯s attention. Keyon was obviously panicking, and he picked up Giselle. ¡°Giselle, don¡¯t be afraid. We¡¯ll go to the hospital immediately!¡± ¡°Isobel, where are you going? This isn¡¯t over!¡± Thalia grabbed her. ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°If you run away, we¡¯ll call the police.¡± ¡°I said it was not me!¡± Isobel was about to copse, but Thalia obviously did not intend to let her go. Just now, Giselle had lost a lot of blood, which looked scary. When Alexa rushed to the hospital, Giselle just came out of the operating room. ¡°Doctor, how is my wife?¡± Keyon couldn¡¯t wait to ask. ¡°Threatened abortion.¡± The doctor breathed a sigh of relief. ¡°But the baby is okay. She must be under good care, and she can¡¯t suffer any damage.¡± ¡°Okay, I got it¡­¡± Keyon nodded absent-mindedly, looking quite frightened. ¡°Keyon, go to the ward to be with her. I will deal with Isobel,¡± Alexa said in a low voice. When Keyon heard this, his face waspletely cold. ¡°I will deal with her myself.¡± Chapter 409 Chapter 409 Chapter 409 Not Chance Encounters Right after his words, the nurse rushed out of the ward. ¡°Mr. Duran, Mrs. Duran wakes up and wants to see you.¡± ¡°Got it. I¡¯ll be right there.¡± Before Keyon went to see Giselle, his expression somehow softened a lot. Alexa nodded and watched him go in. Giselle was still very weak. But when she saw Keyon, her eyes instantly became red. ¡°Keyon, is the baby okay?¡± She had just heard the doctor say that she was pregnant. She was so excited that she almost fainted. But at the same time, what had happened made Giselle scared. ¡°The baby is alright.¡± Keyon wiped the tears on her cheeks with his fingers. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ve got you the best doctors. I won¡¯t let anything happen to you.¡± ¡°Keyon, I¡¯m still feeling a lot of anxiety.¡± Giselle was very emotional, and she cried again. ¡°If something happens to the child, I dare not see you again.¡± ¡°No pressure,¡± Keyon said gently. ¡°As long as you are alright.¡± To get pregnant, Giselle tried many methods. Keyon knew how hard it was to get this baby, so he could understand her pain. But he never showed too much of his concern on his face, especially at a time like this. He must not show any panic in front of Giselle. ¡°At that time, Isobel suddenly pushed me.¡± Giselle grabbed his cor and said pitifully. ¡°I didn¡¯t do anything to her. Why did she do this¡­¡± ¡°I will investigate it thoroughly. Don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°She did not seed this time. Will she do it again?¡± ¡°No,¡± Keyon patiently exined. ¡°I definitely won¡¯t let anyone hurt you again.¡± Giselle was still not over her horror, so Keyon stayed to keep herpany. Alexa sat in the corridor for a while, and Terrence soon arrived. ¡°Alexa.¡± He hurriedly took her hand. Alexa yawned and asked casually. ¡°Have you found out everything?¡± ¡°I have already asked Edwin to investigate,¡± Terrence said concisely. ¡°The thing happened in a CCTV blind spot. Isobel keeps denying 1. There is not enough evidence yet to prove that she is the culprit. ¡°Fortunately, Giselle is fine.¡± Alexa breathed a sigh of relief and loosened up a little. ¡°Let¡¯s go home.¡± Terrence put an arm around her waist and said, ¡°Don¡¯t waste your time on this matter. Keyon will take care of it.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Terrence had always been very concerned about Alexa. So, he naturally did not want her to busy herself with these things. In fact, Alexa thought the same. It was not appropriate for her to interfere too much. ¡°It¡¯s been a tough day for you,¡± Terrence said softly. ¡°Go home and rest early. I¡¯ve asked Yareli to bring Damarion home.¡± ¡°He didn¡¯t act up this time?¡± ¡°No.¡± Terrence chuckled. ¡°Damarion is a reasonable kid.¡± ¡°I forgot.¡± Alexa suddenly remembered. ¡°You are better with kids than do.¡± Speaking of which, she admitted that she was not as responsible as Terrence. Terrence was busy enough with his work, but still, he had been learning parenting skills persistently. Although there were professional nannies at home, Damarion spent most of the time with Terrence. ¡°This is what I should do.¡± Terrence leaned over and fastened her seat belt. ¡°This is my duty as a father.¡± Alexa liked his answer. She grabbed Terrence¡¯s jaw and leaned forward to kiss it. Terrence paused, and his ears quickly turned red. With smiling eyes, Alexa then kissed the corner of his eyes willfully. ¡°What should I do with you?¡± she teased with ease. ¡°I like you more and more.¡± ¡°For me, it is a good thing.¡± Terrence softly kissed her lips and also smoothed Alexa¡¯s slightly messy hair. ¡°In the future, you have to take care of two children at the same time. Can you handle it, Mr. Ramsey?¡± Alexa was just joking, but Terrence thought about it very seriously. ¡°No problem,¡± he said very confidently. ¡°I am taking sses from professionals, so it won¡¯t be a problem for me.¡± ¡°It¡¯s still early.¡± Alexa was a little surprised. ¡°It¡¯s only been four months.¡± ¡°We have to prepare early. It can never be too early.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be too nervous, baby.¡± It took Alexa no effort to flirt with Terrence. And inparison, Terrence seemed to be much more ¡°amateur¡±. He was not very good at expressing his feelings, but he liked the way Alexa did it. ¡°Can you call me that a few more times?¡± Terrence sounded like an innocent teenager. ¡°What? Darling or baby?¡± Alexa asked deliberately. ¡°I want to hear both.¡± ¡°Then drive, Mr. Ramsey,¡± she smiled sweetly. ¡°I¡¯ll satisfy you at home.¡± Terrence almost never refused her anything. When they got home, Alexa was a little hungry, so Terrence made her a strawberry cake. ¡°Is there any ce you want to go?¡± Terrence suddenly asked. ¡°Shall we go to travel?¡± ¡°Where do you want to go?¡± Alexa asked with great interest. ¡°What about thepany? If I take away the president, I¡¯m afraid the shareholders won¡¯t like it.¡± She didn¡¯t want to be called toxic again. Terrence¡¯s eyes darkened slightly as a sharp glint silently shed across them. ¡°They don¡¯t dare.¡± ¡°Sure?¡± With a faint smile, Alexa put an arm around his neck and fed him a spoonful of strawberry cake. ¡°The strawberries are so sweet.¡± ¡°Indeed.¡± When Terrence looked at Alexa, his eyes were full of smiles. Although they had been married for so long, every day was still full of romance. Alexa quite liked how things were. And Terrence obviously enjoyed it too. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the beach,¡± Alexa suddenly spoke. ¡°I want to go to the sea with you.¡± ¡°Okay, I will arrange it.¡± Terrence was very efficient, and he prepared everything in just one night. But when they arrived at the airport the next day, they ran into Thalia and Finley. ¡°Alexa!¡± Thalia greeted them warmly. ¡°Ms. Crompton, Dr. McMin? Why are you here?¡± Alexa asked in surprise. ¡°Dr. McMin is going on a business trip. I¡¯ll go with him. Are you also going to Seattle?¡± Thalia asked curiously. ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa nodded and stood close to Terrence. ¡°We are going traveling for a few days to rx.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great.¡± Thalia¡¯s face was full of envy as she looked at Finley meaningfully. However, Finley¡¯s eyes remained calm, as if he was unmoved. He lifted Thalia¡¯s luggage and said in a low voice. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Alexa looked at them a few more times, and Terrence could not wait to turn sideways and block her view. ¡°Still not looking away?¡± He sounded jealous. ¡°Hehe.¡± Alexa looked away guiltily. ¡°I won¡¯t look at anyone else. I¡¯ll focus on you, okay?¡± N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. ¡°Okay.¡± Terrence nodded seriously, agreeing with her words. After boarding the ne, Finley nced at Terrence furtively. Alexa noticed that and had some guesses. How could there be so many chance encounters? Chapter 410 Chapter 410 Chapter 410 Always Have Time for You Alexa stole a nce at Terrence. He was reading the documents with a straight face, and there was nothing unusual about his expression. She did not disturb Terrence but secretly sent a message to Thalia. ¡°Where is Dr. McMin going on business?¡± After a long time, Thalia replied. ¡°A meeting for medical scientists or something. I¡¯m not sure. I pestered him to take me with him.¡± Thalia felt happy. She stared at the screen and giggled. Then Finley noticed it. ¡°What are you giggling about?¡± ¡°Nothing. I was just peeking at you,¡± Thalia said frankly. Finley was clearly struck dumb by her forthrightness. ¡°Be serious.¡± ¡°I am serious,¡± Thalia said sweetly. ¡°Go on with your work. I¡¯ll just look at you.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t focus when you look at me.¡± Finley said gently, his ears red. ¡°Why, Dr. McMin?¡± Thalia moved closer. ¡°Are you nervous?¡± Her red lips were just inches away from him. Just as Finley thought that Thalia would kiss him, she reached his waist and pinched him. ¡°Do you know how charming you are?¡± Thalia stared at him. ¡°You¡¯re especially charming when you are absorbed in work. It makes me like you more.¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t stop, I won¡¯t be able to finish the report,¡± Finley said seriously. ¡°I have to hand it inter.¡± ¡°Alright. Then give me a kiss, and I will leave you alone.¡± Thalia was very good at flirting. Although Finley was a reserved person, he didn¡¯t know what to do with her. ¡°Right here?¡± ¡°Is it not okay for you?¡± Thalia boldly grabbed his cor and willfully moved closer to him. Finley had no choice but topromise and kiss her on the forehead. Thalia smiled with satisfaction. Then she took her phone and posted something online. When Alexa used her phone, she saw the post. She smiled and liked it at once. ¡°What are you looking at? Why are you so happy?¡± Hearing Terrence¡¯s voice, Alexa realized that he had been looking at her. ¡°Nothing,¡± Alexa casually said. ¡°Just browsing the timeline.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Terrence interlocked his fingers with hers and took a photo. ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°I suddenly want to show everyone how much we are in love, can¡¯t I?¡± Terrence posted the picture and did not forget to mention Alexa. In less than half a minute, Alexa got a lot of notifications for private messages. ¡°Everyone is asking me about it,¡± she said a little embarrassedly. ¡°We¡¯ve been married for a long time. We don¡¯t need this.¡± ¡°If your eyes are tired, get off your phone.¡± Terrence put down his work. ¡°Let¡¯s chat, then you won¡¯t feel bored during the flight.¡± Alexa looked at the clouds outside the window and asked curiously. ¡°Where are we going these days?¡± ¡°I have already arranged everything. Don¡¯t worry,¡¯ Terrence said unhurriedly. ¡°I won¡¯t let my work take up too much of my time. This time, I will make sure you have a good time.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± ¡°There is a business party tonight that I need to attend,¡± Terrence said with a smile. ¡°Wait for me at home. I will be back soon, okay?¡± ¡°Who organized the party?¡± ¡°A local rich businessman,¡± he patiently exined. ¡°He is also a partner of Hudson Group.¡± ¡°Well, then I will wait for you at home.¡± Alexa was not interested in those parties. Terrence was worried that she would be tired, so he would not force her to attend. After the nended, Terrence sent Alexa to the vi. ¡°We can see the sea here.¡± Terrence put a shawl on her. ¡°Take some rest. I¡¯ll arrange dinner.¡± ¡°You can go to work now.¡± Alexa kissed him on the cor. ¡°I¡¯ll wait for you toe back.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Terrence was indeed very busy at work. He only spent ten minutes in the vi before Edwin took him away. Text property ? N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org. Alexa slept for a while. And when she woke up, it was already dusk. She was just in time for the sunset. She took a photo of it and sent it to Terrence. Terrence immediately called her. ¡°You¡¯ve woken up?¡± ¡°Yes. I was a little tired, but I feel much better now. Are you going to the party now?¡± Alexa askedzily. ¡°I¡¯m on the way. I¡¯ve specially put on the tie you gave me today.¡± After the intimate moments with Terrence, Alexa felt kind of lonely right now. But she didn¡¯t want to worry Terrence, so she did not say much. However, after the call, there was a burst of noise downstairs. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, Mrs. McMin is here.¡± As soon as the servant finished speaking, Thalia entered the living room. ¡°Why are you here? Shouldn¡¯t you be with Dr. McMin right now?¡± Alexa asked in surprise. ¡°Of course, it¡¯s because of something more important.¡± Thalia said meaningfully and put some exquisite macarons down on the coffee table. ¡°Terrence has specially called me toe,¡± Thalia smiled. ¡°He was afraid that you would be bored, so he asked me to keep youpany.¡± ¡°I am not that difficult.¡± Although Alexa said so, she was very happy. ¡°But Terrence is worried about you,¡± Thalia teased. ¡°I left Finley and hurried here. And Terrence paid some famous chefs to make these macarons.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Alexa dared not be the reason that kept Thalia apart from Finley. ¡°Hurry and go back. I¡¯m fine alone.¡± ¡°You¡¯re not alone right now.¡± Thalia smiled as she looked at Alexa¡¯s belly. ¡°Isn¡¯t there a little girl?¡± ¡°We don¡¯t know the gender yet.¡± ¡°You have a happy family. I really envy you.¡± ¡°You and Dr. McMin can also have all this if you try,¡± Alexa encouraged. ¡°He is very good at taking care of children. Damarion likes him very much.¡± ¡°Maybe it¡¯s because he isn¡¯t with kids all the time,¡± Thalia teased. ¡°If there is a really difficult kid, he will have a headache.¡± Although she said so, Thalia looked forward to it even more. She sat with Alexa for a while before Finley called. ¡°It seems that someone is worried about you,¡± Alexa teased. ¡°Hurry up and go back.¡± She wanted to ask a driver to send Thalia back, but she didn¡¯t expect that Finley would directlye in his car. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you were having dinner with some old members of the industry?¡± Thalia sat down in the passenger seat. ¡°You didn¡¯t drink?¡± ¡°I have to pick you up. So I didn¡¯t drink alcohol,¡± Finley answered truthfully. ¡°It wasn¡¯t easy for them to meet you once. How could they bear to let you leave so early?¡± ¡°I have to go home to see my fianc¨¦e.¡± He chuckled. ¡°Is this reason enough?¡± ¡°Enough for me.¡± ¡°Good then.¡± When Finley drove, Thalia had been looking out the window at the street. ¡°Do you want to go shopping?¡± Finley said. ¡°I didn¡¯t spend much time with you today.¡± ¡°No need. You¡¯ve had a long day.¡± Thalia withdrew her gaze. ¡°Let¡¯s go home and rest early.¡± Though she said so, Finley pulled up by the roadside. ¡°In front of me, you never have to makepromises,¡± he said gently. ¡°You only need to make yourself happy. You don¡¯t have to care too much.¡± ¡°But I care about you.¡± ¡°I always have time for you.¡± Chapter 411 Chapter 411 Chapter 411 My Muse Finley¡¯s words made Thalia quite happy. ¡°I suddenly feel hungry.¡± Thalia said. ¡°Shall we go to the night market?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Finley was a loner and had nevere to such crowded ces before. But now that Thalia was with him, he did not show any impatience. He even took her hand. ¡°There are many people. Let¡¯s not get separated from each other.¡± ¡°Even if we get separated, you will definitely find me.¡± Finley didn¡¯t reply. He just pulled her closer quietly. Thalia was quite interested in street food, but Finley usually didn¡¯t allow her to eat unhealthy food, so she didn¡¯t dare to buy too much. However, Finley was more enthusiastic than her. Although the two of them hadn¡¯t been together for long, Finley knew what she liked very well. He handed her the packed snacks. He was not as strict as usual. ¡°Only this time. There¡¯s no next time,¡± Finley said. Thalia smiled happily and fed him some snacks. ¡°Fill up your belly,¡± said Finley. ¡°I¡¯ll just have the rest.¡± ¡°Dr. McMin, why are you so sweet?¡± Thalia teased. Finley blushed, but he still had a serious look. The two strolled for a while and suddenly saw Terrence. He was wearing a suit and seemed to have juste out of the party. But next to him stood a young woman in a gown. She seemed to be slightly younger than Alexa. At that moment, she wasughing and talking with Terrence as if they were alone. Thalia thought she was mistaken. But when she blinked and looked over again, Terrence was still standing in front of the jewelry stall and chatting with the girl. The two didn¡¯t look like they had just met. Thalia subconsciously felt that something was wrong. But considering that Alexa was pregnant, she did not tell Alexa about it. However, Thalia was angry. She didn¡¯t expect that Terrence, who looked like a decent guy, would cheat. How could she tolerate this? She immediately put on a smiling face and walked over, holding Finley¡¯s arm. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, what a coincidence.¡± Hearing her voice, Terrence turned his attention to her at once. The girl beside him also stopped talking and politely nodded to greet them. Thalia¡¯s face had already darkened. The girl was obviously frightened and subconsciously moved closer to Terrence. Thalia nced at her and smiled. ¡°Thisdy looks unfamiliar. Could you introduce her, Mr. Ramsey?¡± However, as soon as Thalia finished speaking, a few young people walked over. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Kallie, we¡¯ve bought it.¡± As soon as the man in the lead finished speaking, he noticed that the atmosphere was a bit weird. However, Terrence¡¯s expression did not look strange. ¡°You guys go back first,¡± he said calmly. ¡°The driver will send you back.¡± ¡°Thank you, Mr. Ramsey.¡± Kallie politely nodded and thanked him. Before leaving, she did not forget to greet Thalia and Finley. But Thalia still had doubts. After they left, she asked. ¡°Who was her? Does Alexa know? ¡°It¡¯s not something important.¡± Terrence did not seem to take her question seriously. ¡°I¡¯ll go now.¡± ¡°Okay¡­¡± Thalia nodded and subconsciously looked at Finley. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Finley said gently. He didn¡¯t feel that there was anything wrong. ¡°I¡¯d better tell Alexa.¡± Thalia took out her phone. ¡°She knows how to deal with it. If there¡¯s a misunderstanding, it¡¯s better to clear it up.¡± Finley did not stop her. After Thalia sent the message, Alexa quickly replied. ¡°Got it. Thanks.¡± When Terrence arrived home, Alexa was waiting for him in the living room. She looked over with a smile, and Terrence suddenly had a bad feeling about it. ¡°Darling?¡± Alexa pursed her lips and did not say anything. ¡°Tsk.¡± Terrenceughed. ¡°Who made you unhappy?¡± ¡°No one.¡± Alexa turned away from him. ¡°Don¡¯t mind me.¡± ¡°How would I dare?¡± Terrence went over to hug her, but Alexa dodged. ¡°What was it at the market? Who is that girl?¡± Alexa asked angrily. ¡°I see. My baby is jealous. What should I do?¡± Terrence talked to her like talking to a kid. ¡°I don¡¯t know!¡± Seeing that she was really going to give him the cold treatment, Terrence immediately stopped smiling and exined seriously. ¡°It¡¯s just a student the Hudson Group has helped financially. I ran into her at the party.¡± ¡°Student?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Terrence nodded. ¡°She is one of the first students to benefit from the educational foundation established in your ¡°I didn¡¯t know about this!¡± ¡°Are you still angry now?¡± Seeing the amusement in Terrence¡¯s eyes, Alexa poked him with her elbow. ¡°I¡¯m not angry. Don¡¯tugh.¡± N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. ¡°Okay, okay. I won¡¯tugh. How can you be so cute even when you are angry?¡± he teased. ¡°Come off it¡­¡± Terrence took out an exquisite gift box the next second. ¡°This is the jade bracelet they picked for you.¡± Alexa was fond of jade, so she had a lot of knowledge about it. After taking the gift box, she could tell at a nce that this was a rare treasure. Alexa smiled, ¡°Jade of this quality is very rare.¡±name.¡± ¡°They major in design and will work in Hudson Group to create fashion items,¡± Terrence slowly exined, ¡°They repeatedly told me to personally give it to my wife.¡± ¡°Do they know me?¡± Alexa thought of something and asked. ¡°How can I not introduce you to them?¡± Terrence pulled her into his arms. ¡°My dear Muse.¡± After the misunderstanding was cleared, Alexa was no longer angry. ¡°You came back sote.¡± She looked up and said, ¡°I have already had dinner.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good,¡± he smiled gently. ¡°Take good care of yourself. And that¡¯s the best gift for me.¡± ¡°What about you?¡± Alexa was worried about him. ¡°You didn¡¯t eat anything at the party but had drunk, right?¡± ¡°I only drank half a ss of champagne. It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± ¡°I left some food for you, but the food I made might not be delicious.¡± ¡°Thank you, darling. But let me cook next time. There are fumes in the kitchen.¡± ¡°It was just a whim.¡± Even so, Terrence was still very happy. He couldn¡¯t wait to go to the kitchen and take out the dishes prepared by Alexa. ¡°I¡¯m not good at it and can only make the easiest dish,¡± Alexa said weakly. ¡°I¡¯ll keep learning, then¡­¡± ¡°This dish is enough to make me give my whole life to you.¡± ¡°I am worried that it won¡¯t be enough,¡± Alexa said. ¡°I¡¯d better learn more dishes.¡± ¡°No,¡± Terrence said firmly. ¡°As long as you¡¯re the cook, any dish can easily win my heart.¡± Just as he finished speaking, the phone he put on the table rang. Alexa saw that the caller ID was ¡°Kallie¡±, and she silently looked away. Chapter 412 Chapter 412 Chapter 412 My Husband Does Not Answer Unknown Numbers Terrence ate the food seriously and did not intend to answer the phone. Alexa was a little impatient. ¡°Are you not going to answer the phone?¡± As soon as she finished speaking, the phone stopped ringing. But a few secondster, the phone rang again. ¡°It should be an urgent matter. Do you want me to answer it for you?¡± Alexa said obligingly. Terrence did not hesitate and directly handed the phone to her. Alexa was worried that Terrence thought that she did not trust him enough,but soon, she found that she was worrying too much. ¡°It¡¯s the student I met just now. It doesn¡¯t matter if I don¡¯t answer it. She will contact Edwin,¡± Terrence exined. ¡°But she is calling you.¡± Then Alexa answered the call directly. ¡°Hello, is there anything you want to ask my husband for help?¡± Alexa¡¯s voice was high-pitched, but now it was a littlezy, which sounded her aura was powerful. The other party was stunned for a moment, and then a girl¡¯s cautious voice sounded. ¡°Hello, are you Mrs. Ramsey?¡± ¡°It¡¯s me.¡± Alexa smiled brightly and looked very kind. Terrence nced at her and did not ask more. Kallie was a student who had just entered society. In front of Alexa, he always seemed a little immature. ¡°I want to ask if Mr. Ramsey is here. I am in a spot of trouble. I might need his help.¡± ¡°My husband?¡± Alexa paused and nced at Terrence casually. ¡°He¡¯s busy right now. If there¡¯s anything, just tell me.¡± Hearing this, Kallie seemed a little disappointed. ¡°I¡¯m in the hotel right now. I have a headache. I don¡¯t have any friends around me. I¡¯m a little scared,¡± she said pitifully. Kallie¡¯s voice was very soft. People who heard her voice would want to protect her. Moreover, she specially called Terrence, so Alexa knew Kallie¡¯s thoughts clearly. Alexa thought, she is too simple. But Alexa did not get angry. Instead, she replied very gently. ¡°Can you wait for a moment? We¡¯ll go to see you now.¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, I¡¯m really sorry. I¡¯ve troubled you,¡± Kallie said tearfully. ¡°It¡¯s not troublesome.¡± After hanging up the phone, Alexa returned the phone to Terrence with a straight face. Terrence had already finished all the food on the table and elegantly wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin. ¡°Are you full?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s go out and see her, Mr. Ramsey.¡± Alexa smiled at him with interest. Alexa¡¯s tone was very serious. Hearing Alexa calls him Mr. Ramsey, Terrence had a subtle smile. ¡°I¡¯ll let Edwin handle it.¡± ¡°She is just a little girl after all. It is inconvenient for Edwin to deal with it.¡± Seeing that Alexa was not angry, Terrence was relieved. When they arrived at the hotel, Kallie opened the door. Kallie looked very pure, and she was indeed not much different from what Alexa had imagined. She was wearing a cute nightgown, and shebed her long hair with her hand, looking innocent. She covered her mouth and said with some embarrassment, ¡°Sorry. I removed my makeup, so I don¡¯t look beautiful.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Alexa did not care, and Terrence, who was beside her, did not look at Kallie from beginning to end. Kallie seemed to be a little disappointed, pouting innocently and lowering her eyes. ¡°I¡¯m really useless and can¡¯t take care of myself. It¡¯s my first time in Seattle. Fortunately, Mr. Ramsey is here,¡± Kallie said in a low voice. ¡°Is that so? It¡¯s pretty good,¡± Alexa said with a smile. Terrence stood behind her the whole time, not moving a single step. But at this moment, he had a feeling that a disaster was imminent. ¡°What¡¯s troubling you? Change your clothes and we¡¯ll send you to the hospital.¡± ¡°I just drank some wine and when I bought you a bracelet, I might have caught a cold. So I have a headache.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Alexa nodded deeply. ¡°I feel very apologetic in my heart. I¡¯ll cover the cost of your going to the hospital.¡± Hearing those words, Kallie had nothing to say. Moreover, Terrence ignored her from the beginning to the end, so she was disappointed. Fortunately, after Kallie went to the hospital for a check-up, she was fine. Alexa told Terrence to inform herpanions, and then the two of them nned to go back. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey,¡± Kallie hurriedly called out to her, ¡°Tonight¡­ Thank you very much, I¡­¡± Alexa did not say much. Instead, she handed over her name card. Alexa said calmly, ¡°I quite like you. If there is anything in the future, you can call me directly. My husband usually doesn¡¯t answer unknown numbers.¡± Kallie was stunned, obviously not understanding Alexa¡¯s meaning. But Alexa did not want to say anything more to her. After handing Kallie her business card over, she took Terrence and left. Terrence didn¡¯t dare to say anything until they entered the elevator. ¡°Darling?¡± ¡°Are you worried that I am angry?¡± Alexa asked with a calm expression. Terrence nodded. ¡°Yes. I knew what she was thinking about, so I didn¡¯t answer her call.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not a petty person.¡± Alexa teased, not taking this matter to heart. ¡°But she has found you. I can¡¯t ignore her.¡± Terrence held her hand and said, ¡°You don¡¯t need to care about the people and things you don¡¯t like. I know how to deal with them.¡± ¡°She is just a little girl. I can understand that she has fantasies about certain things at this age.¡± Alexa looked very calm and did not take Kallie to heart at all. ¡°This won¡¯t happen again in the future.¡± Terrence opened the door for her, and before Alexa could get in the car, a Maybach passed by them. ¡°That is Dr. McMin¡¯s car.¡± Alexa recognized it at once. Later, she saw Finley help Thalia get out of the car. ¡°What happened?¡± Alexa quickly went up with Terrence to check the situation. Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. Thalia¡¯s face was pale and she looked very weak. ¡°No big deal. It is just a weather effect,¡± Finley said with a serious face. Without saying too much, Finley quickly sent Thalia to the consulting room. Since Finley said Thalia was fine, Alexa was not so worried. However, just as she was about to go back with Terrence, Christina called her. ¡°Alexa, I heard Thalia is ill.¡± ¡°Mom, you got the news so fast.¡± Alexaughed dryly. ¡°Did the resulte out? Is she pregnant?¡± Christina could not wait to ask. Alexa felt embarrassed. ¡°Dr. McMin said that it was just a weather effect. He should not have misdiagnosed it.¡± ¡°I will go to see her.¡± After Christina said this seriously, Alexa suddenly had a bad feeling. ¡°Mom, are you¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯lle over tonight.¡± Chapter 413 Chapter 413 Chapter 413 Where Are You Going Secretly? Christina had always been a person of her word. Alexa knew that she could not persuade her, so she did not say much. After Terrence learned of this, his efficiency was even higher. When he learned that Christina wasing to Seattle, he personally arranged for the airport pickup. ¡°There is no need to be so anxious. What¡¯s more, my mother muste with Henry.¡± Alexa thought,ing to see Thalia is just an excuse. It must be that she wants toe here with Henry to have a holiday. Alexa knew everything clearly and Terrence also understood what she meant. Enter title¡­ ¡°An excellent son-inw naturally has to do everything perfectly. Perhaps, this is a test set by your mother,¡± Terrence insisted. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°There really aren¡¯t so many tests.¡± Alexa brought Terrence back and did not allow him to do this. He was busy all day and had not had a good rest. After arriving home, Terrence was not in a hurry to sleep. Instead, he nned to give Alexa a massage before going to bed. Terrence already knew Alexa¡¯s sleep very well. ¡°Your sleep is easy to suffer. I¡¯m afraid that you may not sleep well in an unfamiliar environment tonight.¡± Alexa gripped her hair with interest. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. I feel like I¡¯m about to be spoiled by you.¡± Terrence instinctively pulled her over and carefully ced his palm on her belly. ¡°The baby has grown up a lot,¡± Terrence subconsciously breathed lightly. ¡°The baby is small. The fetal movement is not too obvious,¡± Alexa smiled happily. ¡°It must be a good baby and he can¡¯t bear to let you be hard.¡± ¡°I indeed don¡¯t feel as tired as when I was pregnant with Damarion.¡± Alexa rubbed Terrence¡¯s chest and said emotionally. ¡°Damarion was very naughty before he was born. However, you have taught Damarion well now.¡± Not only Terrence but also Terrence¡¯s parents were concerned about Damarion. Alexa understood that Damarion, as the eldest grandson of the Ramsey family, must inherit the management power of Hudson Group in the future. ¡°If possible, I hope that they can freely choose the life they want.¡± ¡°Of course.¡± Terrence said without thinking, ¡°As long as our children are happy, I won¡¯t force them to do things they don¡¯t like.¡± ¡°It¡¯s tiring to manage thepany, isn¡¯t it?¡± Alexa gently wrapped her arm around Terrence¡¯s neck and kissed his lower jaw. ¡°This was the path I had chosen voluntarily, so I don¡¯t regret it.¡± As long as the Hudson Group belonged to the Ramsey family, then the sessor of the Ramsey family would have to take responsibility. Although Terrence had experienced many crises, he managed toe through in the end. Terrence did not want these things to affect Alexa¡¯s mood, so he did not say much. Alexa yawned in a low voice and soon fell asleep in Terrence¡¯s arms. Terrence smiled silently and gently carried Alexa back to the bed. After Alexa fell asleep, Terrence quietly got up and walked out of the room. Edwin had already sent the inspection report. Edwin calmly reported, ¡°Mr. Ramsey, five of us have been killed this month. The methods are the same. The killer used a sharp knife to cut the carotid artery and caused a hemorrhage. Obviously, the killer wanted to provoke us.¡± ¡°Have you investigated it thoroughly?¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes were filled with ayer of hostility, looking very terrifying. ¡°The current evidence shows that it was Jovan who did it.¡± Hearing this, Terrence was not surprised at all. He sneered, ¡°Damn it.¡± ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Mr. McMin wants to see you.¡± ¡°Got it.¡± Late at night, Terrence appeared downstairs in the hospital inpatient department. Finley held a report in his hand and had been waiting for Terrence for a long time. ¡°I didn¡¯t intend to intervene in the matter between you and Jovan. But the Duran Group has also had the same case, so I had to intervene.¡± Terrence nced at the portfolio but did not take it. ¡°You want to cooperate with me? But what capital do you have? I don¡¯tck excellent doctors,¡± Terrence said seriously. Finley was not angry. Instead, he slowly adjusted the frame on his nose. He said slowly, ¡°One of my direct mentors is a famous forensic doctor. Before I became a doctor, I received a doctorate in forensic medicine and had a lot of experience in the criminal investigation.¡± ¡°So you came to Seattle this time because of Jovan?¡± ¡°I found traces of his activities in Seattle, but he should have left now.¡± ¡°Irvin suddenly betrayed him. He should hold a grudge against the Ramsey family and the Duran family. Besides, he didn¡¯t get any benefit from Scott¡¯s will. So, he could not wait and took action immediately,¡± Terrence said righteously. ¡°I have no interest in these disputes. I only have one request. Protect her,¡± Finley said coldly. ¡°You don¡¯t have to tell me that. I know.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Finley did not question Terrence¡¯s ability. After he finished speaking, he slowly left. Terrence didn¡¯t return until four o¡¯clock in the morning. He was afraid that he would disturb Alexa, so he did not return to the master bedroom but went to the study room to sleep. When Alexa woke up, Terrence had already prepared breakfast as usual. ¡°Are you awake?¡± Terrence timely appeared in front of her. ¡°Breakfast is ready. I¡¯ll send it to your room.¡± ¡°No need, I¡¯ll go downstairs and eat with you.¡± Alexa had long noticed Terrence¡¯s state. He had dark circles under his eyes. It was obvious that he did not have a good restst night. ¡°Did you stay uptest night? You didn¡¯t sleep well again, did you?¡± Alexa asked directly. ¡°I dealt with some of thepany¡¯s affairsst night. It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± ¡°Come and lie down.¡± Alexa grabbed Terrence to the bed. Before he could react, Alexa pulled the quilt over and covered him. ¡°You are not allowed to go anywhere today. Go to sleep. I will watch over you,¡± Alexa warned. ¡°With you apanying me, I am reluctant to leave.¡± Terrence obediently closed his eyes to rest. He consumed too much energyst night, and it didn¡¯t take long for him to fall asleep while holding Alexa. Alexa checked her phone at the side and just happened to receive a message from Thalia. ¡°Alexa, I don¡¯t think Finley likes me that much.¡± Alexa sent a question mark with a shocked expression. She did not expect that Thalia and Finley would have a conflict. ¡°After he sent me to the hospitalst night, he never appeared again. Now, it is still the servant who is taking care of me.¡± ¡°Where did he go?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Thalia did not seem to be in a good mood and didn¡¯t send messages to Alexa anymore. It happened that Christina and Henry had already arrived in Seattle and were currently on their way to the hospital. Alexa thought for a moment and nned to go to the hospital to see Thalia together with Christina and Henry. She tried to pull her hand back, but she did not expect Terrence to slowly open his eyes. His eyes were very clear and he was not sleepy at all. ¡°Where are you nning to go secretly?¡± Chapter 414 Chapter 414 Chapter 414 Thoughts About Love ¡°Did I wake you up?¡± Alexa was slightly embarrassed. ¡°Sorry.¡± ¡°Compared to this, I prefer to know where you are going.¡± ¡°I n to go to the hospital and see Thalia.¡± ¡°Are she and Finley having problems?¡± ¡°Eh? How did you know?¡± Alexa was rather shocked. ¡°ording to the frequency of your reply, I can tell that she is probably talking about an urgent matter.¡± ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be a very serious matter.¡± Alexa understood and said, ¡°People who are in love are sensitive.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Terrencezily responded and got up to stretch himself. ¡°I feel the same way.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°It¡¯s just that I¡¯ve been hiding these little thoughts in secret and never let you know.¡± With that, Terrence naturally ended the topic. He got up and dressed up. ¡°Let¡¯s go. I¡¯ll go with you.¡± ¡°You were quite tiredst night. You can rest at home today.¡± Alexa said, ¡°I¡¯ll ask the driver to send me.¡± ¡°How can I hand you over to someone else with ease?¡± After Terrence finished speaking, he had already held her hand by himself. Before Alexa had time to eat anything, he put the breakfast into a lunchbox and took it away. ¡°Take your time. No rush.¡± Terrence deliberately drove the car slowly and even nced at her from time to time. ¡°How¡¯s the breakfast today? Does it suit your taste?¡± ¡°It¡¯s made by you. Of course, it suits my taste.¡± When the red light was on, Alexa fed him the sandwich. ¡°Is it delicious?¡± ¡°There is still room for improvement.¡± Terrence was very strict with himself. ¡°I will do better next time.¡± Alexa was in a good mood and went to the hospital with him, talking andughing. When the two entered the ward, Christina and Henry had arrived. Alexa and Terrence greeted them one after another and then looked at Thalia who was lying on the bed. Her eyes were still red. She looked like she had just cried. She seemed rather aggrieved. ¡°Where is Finley?¡± Terrence asked. ¡°I called him, but the call wasn¡¯t put through.¡± Christina said tactfully, ¡°He must be busy.¡± Worried that Thalia would be stimted, Christina did not continue speaking. Alexa silently looked at Terrence. He immediately took the hint and left the ward with Henry. ¡°What happened?¡± Alexa asked, ¡°Weren¡¯t you doing finest night?¡± ¡°Actually, before I came to the hospital, I had already fallen out with him.¡± Thalia lowered her head and twisted the sheet. ¡°He avoided my call. He obviously hides something from me.¡± Thalia said and then started to wipe tears from her eyes. ¡°I actually heard it secretly. It was a woman¡¯s voice. Finley talked to her very gently.¡± Things instantly became serious. Christina¡¯s expression was not too good. She picked up her phone and called Finley. ¡°Finley is so unbelievable. He has gone too far!¡± She muttered indignantly. Shortly, the call was put through. ¡°Finley?¡± Hearing Christina¡¯s voice, Thalia instantly stopped crying and paid attention to the call quietly. ¡°Come to Thalia¡¯s ward immediately. Did you hear me?¡± Christina suppressed her emotions and told Finley a few words. She mainly stuck up for Thalia and asked Finley to exin. After hanging up the phone, Christinaforted Thalia. ¡°Thalia, don¡¯t be sad. I have already asked Finley toe over. Talk it through if there is anything.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Thalia¡¯s voice was slightly sobbing. ¡°Thank you, Mrs. Duran.¡± ¡°Why are you still calling me Mrs. Duran?¡± Christina teased. ¡°I am Finley¡¯s godmother. What should you call me?¡± Thalia blushed. She said in a low voice, ¡°Mom¡­¡± Christina felt much happier. She assumed that Finley would arrive soon, so she and Alexa went out first. Unexpectedly, just as they walked out of the ward, they met Finley rushing over. ¡°Dr. McMin.¡± Alexa called him, and Finley stopped in front of them. ¡°Why did the two of you quarrel?¡± Alexa grinned. ¡°Your fianc¨¦e is so sad. She hasn¡¯t cooled down yet.¡± ¡°There is a little misunderstanding,¡± Finley said coldly. ¡°I will exin it to her.¡± ¡°Do your best to cheer her up. Do you hear me?¡± Christina patted his arm. ¡°After all, she is a girl. You still have to put in some thought.¡± ¡°Yes, I¡¯m wrong this time.¡± Christina did not make things difficult for him and hastened to urge Finley to meet Thalia. At the same time, Terrence and Henry also came over. ¡°It¡¯s still early. Why don¡¯t we have a cup of coffee together?¡± Christina suggested. ¡°Let¡¯s go in our car,¡± Henry said. Alexa did not refuse and took this opportunity to know more about Henry. However, she held Terrence¡¯s arm and deliberately slowed down her pace. ¡°Is there anything you are hiding from me?¡± Alexa suddenly asked. ¡°What?¡± Terrence did note to his senses for a moment, but when he met Alexa¡¯s smiling eyes, he suddenly understood. It was right. How could those things be hidden from her? ¡°Where did Finley gost night?¡± Alexa didn¡¯t keep him in suspense anymore. ¡°And you, have you met Finley before?¡± Terrence just guessed that Finley and Thalia had fallen out, so he must know some inside story. ¡°Sure enough, these things can¡¯t be hidden from you.¡± Terrence did not panic at all when he was caught. ¡°I met himst night and talked about the Duran family.¡± ¡°Some people can¡¯t hold back so soon?¡± Alexa asked calmly. ¡°Is it Isobel?¡± ¡°She has done a lot of things, but she can¡¯t make any waves,¡± Terrence talked honestly. ¡°Those who need to be careful are Jovan and the people on his side.¡± ¡°The internal situation of the Clough family is quiteplicated. He is probably impatient now.¡± ¡°No need to worry about the following things. I will take care of it.¡± After the two finished talking, they quickened their steps to follow Christina and the others. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. At the same time, the atmosphere in the ward was quite different. Thalia stared straight at Finley but did not take the initiative to talk to him. Finley stood by the bed, carefully flipping through her medical records. ¡°There¡¯s no big problem, but you have to rest well for the following time,¡± he said instinctively. Thalia became even angrier. ¡°The doctor has already said these once,¡± Thalia said word by word, ¡°Fianc¨¦e.¡± ¡°Oh, okay.¡± Seeing that Finley seemed to ignore her, Thalia really could not hold back her temper anymore. ¡°Finley!¡± ¡°I¡¯m here,¡± Finley said calmly. He showed no sign of impatience. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Thalia asked bluntly, ¡°Can you just tell me if you¡¯re happy or angry?¡± ¡°I am not angry,¡± Finley said. ¡°But I am angry,¡± Thalia replied. ¡°I know, so¡­¡± Finley said. ¡°Can¡¯t you talk sweet? Or can¡¯t you talk sweet to me only?¡± ¡°No, I am indeed not very good at it.¡± Finley slowly nudged the sses up his nose and slowly leaned over to meet her eyes. ¡°So, can you teach me?¡± ¡°Finley, I¡¯m not smart,¡± Thalia said grudgingly, ¡°How can you do this?¡± Chapter 415 Chapter 415 Chapter 415 Just Inconvenient to Wear a Ring ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°You make it hard for me to be angry.¡± Thalia scratched her head helplessly. ¡°But we haven¡¯t talked about what happenedst night yet.¡± ¡°Are you talking about the girlst night?¡± Finley wasn¡¯t flurried at all. ¡°That¡¯s my colleague. You haven¡¯t seen her before.¡± ¡°Why are your colleagues everywhere?¡± Thalia frowned and muttered. She obviously couldn¡¯t ept this reason. ¡°For work, I know a lot of people.¡± ¡°You are a famous medical expert. I know you are busy.¡± Thalia became a lot less aggressive. In fact, when Finley talked to her, she was no longer angry, except that she still felt a little ufortable. ¡°But even though she¡¯s your colleague, you didn¡¯t have to talk to her so gently, did you?¡± ¡°Did I talk gently?¡± Finley was a bit surprised. ¡°Don¡¯t I usually talk like that?¡± ¡°No!¡± Thalia said resolutely. In her heart, she was already very sure that Finley was basically inexperienced in romantic affairs. ¡°You only need to be gentle in front of me. There is no need to be gentle to everyone¡­ Hey¡­ You are too close to me.¡± ¡°Very close? Then I will leave.¡± ¡°Who asked you to leave?¡± Thalia was anxious and grabbed his tie to pull him back. Finley was unprepared, obviously waiting for her to do this. Thalia¡¯s movements were very forceful. When Finley leaned over, she directly leaned over and captured his lips. ¡°Stop it¡­¡± ¡°What if I don¡¯t stop it?¡± She looked at him coquettishly. ¡°Dr. McMin?¡± Finley didn¡¯t resist her. Thalia kissed him at will. When she left, she deliberately bit Finley¡¯s lips. The faint smell of blood instantly filled the air. Finley stood up and wiped off the blood with his finger with a serious expression. N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. ¡°I have to work.¡± ¡°What?¡± Thalia pretended to be worried. ¡°Will this affect your work? Dr. McMin? After all, the mark is quite obvious.¡± Finley did not reply and looked at her hesitantly. Thalia cooled down and was in a good mood. ¡°Go do your work. Have lunch with me at noon.¡± ¡°OK.¡± Finley nodded. ¡°Before Ie back, a servant will take care of you.¡± ¡°OK, OK, OK. I got it.¡± Thalia responded slowly, gazing at him coquettishly. Finley tidied up his clothes and left the ward. There were already several juniors waiting outside the door. Monica Yarrow, who called himst night, was also there. She immediately noticed the abnormality on Finley¡¯s lips, but she immediately shifted her gaze, pretending not to see it. However, there were a few colleagues who refused to let go of this opportunity to tease him. ¡°Dr. McMin, what happened?¡± ¡°Did you make your wife mad?¡± ¡°A cat scratched me,¡± Finley exined with a straight face. ¡°The cat is fierce and aggressive.¡± Everyone present was smart. How could they not understand the implication of Finley¡¯s words? It was merely a young couple¡¯s fun trick, so they only joked a bit and let go. However, Monica was obviously a little unhappy as she walked beside Finley. ¡°I remember that Dr. McMin isn¡¯t married yet.¡± She forced a smile. ¡°Isn¡¯t it a little inappropriate for you to joke around like this?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not married,¡± Finley replied. ¡°But I¡¯m already engaged. Because of work, it¡¯s inconvenient for me to wear a ring.¡± Monica¡¯s face instantly stiffened. She subconsciously looked at Finley¡¯s hand and immediately saw the brand-new ring. This topic didn¡¯t continue. Monica didn¡¯t talk to Finley anymore and gradually distanced herself from him. When Thalia texted Alexa, telling thetter how things went, they were chatting in the coffee shop. Christina knew the problem was solved without even looking at it. ¡°After all, they¡¯re young,¡± she said casually, ¡°How can there be no quarrel between a couple? Only those who won¡¯t be parted due to the fight canst long.¡± ¡°The things between the two of them are quiteplicated,¡± Alexa said with a sigh. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about it.¡± Christina stirred the sugar in the coffee. ¡°They can solve it themselves.¡± After chatting for a while, the topic naturally shifted to Christina and Henry. Alexa did not know Henry very well and mainly relied on Terrence to get Christina to talk. Yet, Henry acted very sincerely, his eyes fixed on Christina. ¡°We will get married this autumn.¡± Christina admitted generously, ¡°I do not want Henry to wait any longer.¡± Since Christina was so sure, Alexa did not object. She drank two mouthfuls of milk and suddenly felt a little nauseous, so she quickly went to the bathroom. Terrence followed her and handed her a ss of warm water. He slowly caressed her back. ¡°In your opinion, how is Henry?¡± ¡°He is reliable,¡± Terrence answered honestly, ¡°I have also asked Edwin to investigate him. His background is very clean. He has been running an auction house for so many years. He¡¯s a nice option in all aspects.¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Alexa replied. ¡°But this is only my judgment. If you still don¡¯t feel at once¡­¡± ¡°Of course, I¡¯m at ease.¡± Alexa chuckled. ¡°It¡¯s because of your judgment that I believe in you.¡± As Alexa felt better, the two of them walked back to their table. However, when they passed the corridor, Alexa vaguely saw a familiar figure. Zeke? Beside him was a young woman who looked very close to him. Zeke nced over. Alexa was not sure if he had seen her. However, when she wanted to see more carefully, the two figures had already disappeared at the corner. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Terrence asked. ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Alexa looked away. ¡°I was mistaken. Let¡¯s go back.¡± It was still early after they had coffee. Alexa had Terrence apany her to the nearby market. This was the most special ce in Seattle. As long as one had a good eye, he could find many good things here. When Alexa picked up a piece of jade with great interest, another woman¡¯s hand also reached over. Neither of them let go. The woman nudged the sunsses on her nose. ¡°Lady, you have good taste,¡± the woman said. The woman in front of Alexa was in her thirties. Her makeup was exquisite and her delicate skin was fair. Probably, she had been taking good care of herself and her figure was quite graceful. ¡°But I like this jade very much. Can you give it to me?¡± The woman spoke slowly with a cold and arrogant tone. Somehow, Alexa felt that this woman was a little simr to the woman beside Zeke she had met just now. ¡°Or, you name a price, and I¡¯ll give you ten times the price.¡± Alexa came back to her senses, and before he could reply, Terrence had already pulled her into his arms. ¡°Sasha Molina, don¡¯t go too far.¡± Hearing Terrence¡¯s words, Alexa realized that he clearly knew this woman. ¡°Huh?¡± The woman couldn¡¯t help butugh and was not intimidated by Terrence¡¯s attitude. ¡°I was just joking with her. Why are you so angry?¡± ¡°My wife is not happy, so your joke is not funny.¡± Terrence¡¯s face was so cold that there was no smile on his face at all. The woman took off her sunsses and looked at Alexa even more boldly Chapter 416 Chapter 416 Chapter 416 Do You Know Why I Like You? "Not bad. She does look pretty.¡± Terrence''s aura became even colder. "If you say one more word, the Molina Group will lose its business in New York this year." Seeing that Terrence was really angry, Sasha stopped teasing him. "Nice to meet you, girl." Sasha took the initiative to greet Alexa, but Sasha had no intention of shaking her hand. "This piece of jade, I''ll give it to you.¡± Sasha said lightly, then wrote a check and handed it to the stall owner. Seeing the huge digit on the check, the stall owner was about to burst outughing. He thanked Sasha a few times with a big smile. "Here you are." Sasha''s attitude towards Alexa was like teasing a child, never taking Alexa seriously. Sasha''s father and the Ramsey family had a good rtionship, but she did not have much contact with Terrence. Sasha knew about Terrence''s marriage, but at that time, Alexa had no power or background, so Sasha had always regarded Alexa as a puppet. Sasha heard that Alexa had inherited part of the Duran family''s property, but Alexa still looked like a normal girl. Sasha was an aggressive woman, so her attitude towards Alexa did not change much. In Sasha''s eyes, Alexa was just a useless decoration... However, Alexa smiled and handed the piece of jade to Sasha nonchntly. "Thank you for your kind intentions, Ms. Molina.¡± Alexa said with a smile, "But this thing is just for fun. Now that I''m not interested, it has no meaning to me." Sasha was indeed a little surprised that Alexa was not a gold digger as Sasha expected. She coldly curved her red lips, giving Alexa a meaningful look. Terrence¡¯s face was dark, and he had obviously endured to the limit. Sasha was a little worried that Terrence would fall out with her, so she did not say anything to Alexa. Sasha put on her sunsses again and waved behind them. "Zeke,e here." Hearing her call out this name, Alexa looked at her from the side out of surprise. Zeke quickly walked to her side and grabbed Sasha''s arm, obediently like a puppy. "You should know each other, so I won''t introduce him." Sasha''s aura around Zeke was very strong, and the rtionship between the two of them seemed very unusual. "Well, we know each other very well." Zeke said seriously, "My sister and brother-inw." Although Alexa and Terrence did not give him any positive response, Zeke did not care. Zeke focused all his attention on Sasha, his face full of ttery. "Have you finished shopping?" Zeke intimately tidied Sasha''s cor. "Shall I apany you to other ces?" "You are so considerate.¡± Sasha pinched his face as if no one else was around. "I didn''t waste my efforts teaching you." After that, Sasha greeted them and left with Zeke. Alexa looked at the jade that was left behind and didn''t want to continue shopping anymore. "How did Zeke get involved with Sasha?" Compared to her curiosity, Terrence was much calmer. "It''s normal.¡± Terrence said calmly, "It''s just another form of exchange." "Looks like he''s nning to curry favor with Sasha." "It doesn''t make much sense. Things between Sasha and her ex-husband are stillplicated. Zeke is just a toy for Sasha." Terrence did not care about those people at all. He carefully straightened the scarf on Alexa¡¯s neck and his face turned very gentle. "Let''s go for dinner, my girl." Hearing this address, Alexa suddenly blushed a little. "I''m not a girl anymore. I''m already 27 years old." Besides, Alexa was a mother of two kids. Alexa inexplicably thought of the word "young woman", and her expression changed even more subtly. But obviously, Terrence did not know what she was thinking. "Well..." Alexa coughed twice unnaturally to ease the awkwardness, but she did not expect Terrence to get closer. "Why is your face so red?" Terrence was like a shrewd hunter, "What are you thinking about, Mrs. Ramsey?" "No." Alexa was too stubborn to admit, "It''s just..." "So what? Even if you''re 80 years old, you''re still a little girl to me.¡± Terrence spoke slowly, and then he gently changed his words. "Or, can I call you little one? Huh?" "I''m hungry." Alexa stiffly changed the topic, "Let''s go eat." Terrence agreed immediately. On the other side, the atmosphere in Sasha''s car was not very good. She received a call from herwyer. Her ex-husband, Jeremy Lumis, was still coveting her property. This time, Jeremy was desperate.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. Sasha''s face was gloomy, and her heart was very agitated. She put her leg on Zeke''s body willfully and sighed. Zeke did not ask any questions but massaged her feet quietly. "Don''t be angry, Sasha." He seemed very obedient in front of Sasha. As a college student, Zeke was very good at pretending to be innocent. Sasha pinched his jaw and narrowed her eyes to look at him for a long time. "Do you know why I like you, boy?¡± "Can you tell me?" "You have been with me for a while. You should know what I like." Sashazily raised her head and rubbed her feet against his legs. "You are young, energetic, and very likable." Sashamented, "You''repletely different from those vulgar men." Zeke curled his lips slightly, looking very refined. "It''s good that you like me. As long as I can make you happy, mypany is meaningful,¡± he said gently. "Hug me.¡± After Sasha finished speaking, she willfully bent her knees and sat on hisp. Zeke held her waist with familiarity, allowing Sasha to bite his lips. "Ouch... Sasha, it hurts." His eyes were slightly red. "That''s good." Sasha praised him with satisfaction and then dialed Jeremy''s number. "Turn up.¡± Sasha ordered Zeke, ¡°Let him hear us clearly." A hint of ridicule shed across Zeke''s eyes before he cooperated fully. At this time, Alexa received a call from Isobel. "I heard that Zeke went to Seattle with you?" Isobel said with sharp hostility. Alexa thought of Zeke, who was beside Sasha just now. She could not help but sneer silently. "Ms. Duran, where did thate from?" Alexa retorted unhurriedly, "It''s not true at all.¡± "Seattle is not a big city. You should at least know the whereabouts of Zeke, right?" Isobel was very sure that Alexa had been in contact with Zeke. Alexa was baffled by Isobel''s question and even wanted tough. "What does your son have to do with me?" Chapter 417 Chapter 417 Chapter 417 Jeremy Shows Up With His Mother Sensing that Alexa¡¯s tone had turned cold, Isobel remained calm. "He is your nominal younger brother. If anything, it will not be good for the Duran family." Alexa sneered silently and said lightly. "He is 21 years old now. You should give him some space." "You... What do you mean by this?" "You want to know? Go ask your son." Alexa hung up the phone after she finished speaking, not giving Isobel the slightest chance to react. Terrence slowed down the car and kept an eye on her movements. "Is Isobel harassing you?" He frowned, his eyes full of hostility. ¡®Til take care of it.¡± "Not really. However, I want to investigate someone,¡± Alexa said. "Sasha?" "Yes." Alexa was unwilling to let go of any opportunity to lure Terrence. ¡°We are so interlinked." Terrence smiled. "I''ve already done it. Edwin will send you the informationter.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Edwin was very efficient. In just a few hours, he had thoroughly investigated Sasha. After Sasha inherited her family''s properties, she had a business marriage with Jeremy. However, in just three years, the two announced to the public that their marriage had ended. They had been filingwsuits for property in the past two years. As for Zeke, he was together with Sasha when he was studying abroad. "Sasha runs a concert hall under her name, and she often goes to concerts.¡± Terrence slowly exined, "Zeke studies piano, and it is normal for him to be by her side." "It''s quite romantic.¡± Alexa inlymented, not believing that their rtionship was so simple. However, the way Zeke acted in front of Sasha was not like a boyfriend, but like a pet that had been trained very well. "It seems that Isobel does not know what her good son has done recently.¡± Alexa did not want to care about this shit. But the Duran family was now in the process of the change of power. If they were careless, they would lose all their previous efforts. ¡°How about I talk to Zeke?" Alexa casually mentioned it, but Terrence seemed like he saw a ghost. ¡°Don''t.¡± He refused coldly, "Let him be." "After all, I don''t want him to embarrass our family." Alexa held her chin leisurely. "If he dares to drag the Duran family down, then he will be doomed." "We can take this opportunity to purge the family and make him an example." Terrence was able to control the people of the Ramsey family, so his methods were much more decisive. "Let''s wait and see." Alexa sighed, "In any case, I feel that he has a big ambition." Alexa just wanted to find a legitimate opportunity, but she did not expect that this opportunity would come so quickly. That night, Sasha sent an invitation to Alexa for her birthday banquet. Sasha probably wanted to use this opportunity to curry favor with Terrence, and Alexa yed the trick and agreed to attend. Sasha''s birthday banquet was grand. The banquet was held in the most luxurious hotel in Seattle. Numerous powerful people came to the banquet. When Alexa and Terrence showed up, they became the focus of the crowd. Many guests came forward to talk with them, but Alexa''s eyes were fixed on Zeke, who was next to Sasha. Zeke was wearing a well-made high-end suit today, which was exactly the same color as Sasha''s dress. Sasha took good care of herself, and coupled with her delicate makeup, she looked like a young girl. They looked at each other through the air, and Sasha took the initiative to bring Zeke over. "Babe. Come and greet your brother-inw and sister," Sasha said intimately. Zeke raised his ss and gestured to them with familiarity, saying a few pleasantries. Alexa smiled and said. "Zeke is really good at giving people a lot of surprises." "What surprise are you talking about?¡± "I just knew that Zeke is so good at ying the piano.¡± "Zeke''s piano skills are indeed very good.¡± Sasha praised him proudly, "His basic skills are good and his talent is high. It was worth it for me to hire a master to teach him." "Ms. Molina, you really have good taste." Alexa''s eyes were somehow fixed on Zeke. Zeke subconsciously wanted to hide, obviously feeling guilty. "Didn''t you just get divorced not long ago?" Terrence suddenly spoke up, "So you like young boys?" "Mr. Ramsey, your jokes have always been so sharp." Although Sasha was ridiculing him, she did not get angry. "I just like outstanding ones. Zeke is very kind to me," Sasha admitted generously. "After all, Zeke is from the Duran family. Since the two of you are truly in love, then I can exin it to my aunt." Alexa had a big smile. "Don''t worry, Alexa. I don''t want Sasha to be talked about by those chatty people, so when the time is right, I will tell my mother personally." "Oh. That''s great." Alexa nodded sincerely as if she had just realized something. Just as he finished speaking, some people appeared at the door. When Sasha saw who they were, her expression changed instantly. Jeremy showed up with his mother, Sonya Lumis. Behind them were more than a dozen cold-looking bodyguards in ck uniforms. ¡°Excuse me." Sasha''s smile froze for a moment before she quickly walked over. "Mrs. Lumis, Mr. Lumis. Why are you here?" Sasha asked with a fake smile. "We had been a couple. After all, we had a good time together.¡± Jeremy said calmly, "After all, I was the one who celebrated your birthday for you in the past. I still remember your birthday.¡± After saying that, Sonya snorted coldly and pointed her cane at Zeke majestically. "Who is he?" "New lover?" Jeremy raised his eyebrows, and his face was full of disdain. "So you like this kind of young man?" Many guests heard this, and the lively atmosphere immediately quieted down. It was extremely awkward. "We are divorced now. You are not qualified to ask who I am dating." Sonya scolded Sasha, "You still owe my son a lot of money! Shameless bitch, take your husband¡¯s money and raise a pretty boy, huh?" "Please pay attention to your words." Sasha was outraged. "Your son and I have been divorced for two years. The property issue has been settled. It is your son who keeps pestering me. He doesn''t even care about his dignity!" Sasha said. "You... How dare you!" Sonya was so angry that she hit Sasha''s waist with her cane. Her strength was not small, and this attack instantly made Sasha burst into tears. ¡°Ouch...¡± Sasha cried out in pain. If not for Zeke supporting her, she would have fallen down. "Mrs. Lumis, aren''t you going too far?" Zeke said patiently, ¡°Or did you hit Sasha like this before?" T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. "Who do you think you are? What right do you have to talk back to me?¡± Sonya was very emotional. The next moment, she covered her chest and leaned back with a pale face. Chapter 418 Chapter 418 Chapter 418 Ambition "Mom!" Jeremy eximed nervously and roared at the bodyguards behind him. "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and prepare the car. Quickly send my mother to the hospital!¡± Seeing that, Alexa immediately went forward to check Sonya¡¯s situation. Although Alexa had not fully recovered from her memory loss, she still remembered some basic first- aid knowledge. "Your mother has coronary heart disease. Did she bring her medicine with her?¡± "Who are you? Are you even a professional doctor?" Jeremy asked grumpily. "If anything bad happens to my mother, can you afford it?¡± "I can guarantee you her treatment skills.¡± Terrence spoke coldly with his indifferent gaze silently seizing Jeremy. It frightened Jeremy to the point of being a little dazed.He thought, Terrence actually guarantees for her. Who is she? ¡°I''m asking you if you have the medicine! If we don¡¯t hurry up and treat her immediately, your mother might not be able to make it to the hospital." Alexa frowned and seemed serious. Hearing that, Jeremy immediately panicked. "Medicine? What are you all standing there for?¡± He snapped at his assistant. "Yes! In Mrs. Lumis'' ne, she used to put a pill inside," Sasha answered weakly. Alexa checked immediately, and it was true. She fed the pill to Sonya, but there was no way to apply for the special treatment. At that time, a familiar figure appeared beside Alexa. ¡°Let me do it." Hearing Finley''s voice, Alexa immediately felt a lot more at ease. She quickly exined to Finley what she had done just now, and then Terrence helped Alexa to the side. Finley took out the special tools he carried with him and skillfully started the treatment. Sonya¡¯s pale face gradually regained color, and her consciousness slowly recovered. "She''s fine. I''ll go to the hospital with you and exin the situation to the doctor," Finley said calmly. Jeremy thanked Finley repeatedly and quickly ordered the assistants to send Sonya to the car. After the situation stabilized, Alexa looked at Sasha. "Ms. Molina, are you okay?¡± "It''s fine. I didn''t really get hurt. In the past, I always endured the pain and lived well till now." "Why don''t we go to the hospital to take a look? It looks quite bad. It would be troublesome if your bones were broken.¡± Thalia stepped in. ¡°Today is my birthday banquet. It was already quite messy. If I leave now, who''s going to take care of him?¡± Sasha looked at Zeke with a smile. She really cared about him. Zeke still maintained a perfect smile on his face, which was a sharp contrast to Sasha''s dispirited state. "Sasha, I''ll be fine." Sasha smiled but did not say anything. Just when Alexa thought that this matter was over, Sasha turned to Alexa. "You seem to know a lot about medicine." "No. It''s just some basicmon sense,¡± Alexa said indifferently. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. "Then please help me take a look at the wound on my waist, okay?" "Don''t you have a private doctor? If there really isn''t, I''ll find one for you.¡± Terrence interrupted Sasha at the right time. "My doctor is a male, so it''s not very convenient." Sasha dispelled Terrence''s idea with one sentence. Alexa knew that Sasha''s intention was not pure, so she gave Terrence a look to indicate that she would be careful. "It''s okay. I will help you take a look. If it is very serious, you should go to the hospital to treat it," Alexa replied. Thalia was worried and wanted to follow. However, Sasha was very guarded. ¡°l only want her toe alone. Don''t worry, it will be very quick." "I will wait for you downstairs and find you in twenty minutes if you don''t show up,¡± Terrence said without hesitation. "OK." Seeing their interaction, Sasha smiled quietly.She took Alexa to the lounge, untied the belt on her back, andy on the bed. "The medicine chest is in the cab. In fact, it really hurts. Mrs. Lumis never went easy on me," Sasha said in a low voice. Alexa checked Sasha''s injury and took out the medicine from the medicine chest. "Are the bruises in other ces all caused by Mrs. Lumis from before?¡± "You have to ask Zeke about that." Sasha''s tone was filled with obvious teasing and showing up. When Alexa realized what was going on, her face instantly heated up. So Alexa did not ask any more questions. Instead, she silently applied the medicinal wine and massaged Sasha. Alexa had recently been vomiting very badly. The smell of the medicinal wine made her feel nauseous again, but she forcefully held it in front of Sasha. Fortunately, the clothes she wore were quite loose and did not reveal much of Alexa''s figure. "You want to know Zeke''s intention of getting close to me, right?" Sasha did not hide anything and even thought it was fun. "In fact, he wants me to help him gain a foothold in the Duran family.¡± Sasha looked back at Alexa with a yful look on her face. "What about you? How do you n to deal with it?" "Why should I deal with it?" Alexa''s expression did not change. She even politely curved her lips. ¡°I am not interested in these things.¡± "Do you really want to just live your rich life and turn a blind eye to everything? No matter what, a woman must have her own career,¡± Sasha said, looking a little resentful. "I understand. But obviously, Zeke can''t pose a threat to my career, so it''s not worth mentioning.¡± Alexa acted calmly. "You are indeed a very interesting person." Sasha''s opinion of Alexa began to change. "Then should I remind Zeke to be warier of you?" "It''s a good idea. It''s good for him to be more careful, lest he is cheated." After applying the medicine to Sasha, Alexa stood up and moved to the side. "We''re done here. If the symptoms have not been alleviated, you must go to see the doctor in time." Sasha calmly got up and straightened her skirt, looking up and down at Alexa. "Are you interested in making a deal with me?" Without waiting for Alexa''s answer, Sasha said. "If you can ask Terrence to take down the Lumis family for me, then I will help you deal with Zeke." "Ms. Molina, are you joking?" "You are a smart person, and you should understand what I mean." Sasha leisurely adjusted the essories in her hands with a casual gaze. "I can support Zeke with money. But I am also a businesswoman. Offending the Duran family for a man is not a clever choice," Sasha said calmly. "Well. Asking us to take down the Lumis family for you is never a clever choice, either." ¡°It''s nothing but an acquisition. And it is also beneficial to you." Sasha was determined to persuade Alexa. "And I can feel that you have an ambition as well." Sasha thought, while sitting firmly in the position of Mrs. Ramsey she could also get a share of the Duran family.I don''t believe she''s just a good-for-nothing innocentdy. "Ms. Molina, your offer is not attractive enough. Why don''t you think about it again?" Alexa smiled lightly, not pretending to be a pure and innocentdy anymore. You know that I am a bad girl who is keen on power. I am not that good. Chapter 419 Chapter 419 Chapter 419 Unworthy Sasha obviously didn''t expect that Alexa would bargain with her. What was even more troublesome was that Sasha had already revealed her true intent, and yet Alexa still seemed mysterious. Sasha couldn''t guess what Alexa was thinking at all. "Interesting. You got me, girl," Sasha said with a chuckle. "Ms. Molina, you don''t have to be so careful. I don''t mean you any harm.¡± After Alexa finished speaking, someone knocked on the door. Alexa checked the time. It was exactly twenty minutester. "He cares about you more than I thought. Do you guys have a good rtionship?" Sasha asked in a jealous tone. "I guess so. But I don''t care about what outsiders think. Whether I am an innocentdy or have an ambition, it doesn''t matter." Alexa shed a charming look at Sasha. After saying that, Alexa pushed the door open and left. Terrence was waiting for Alexa at the door. Seeing Alexae out safe and sound, he felt a lot more at ease. "Are you tired? Let''s go back," Terrence said considerably. Alexa kept quiet about what had happened in the room and naturally changed the topic. "I saw that you were chatting with other guests just now. It must be something important. I''m not tired. Let''s wait for a while longer," Alexa smiled generously. "It was nothing. I was simply being polite with them." Terrence did not care much. Of course, Alexa understood him. No matter how important tonight was, Terrence would take Alexa away immediately once she showed any signs of unhappiness. After they returned to the hall, the atmosphere had already be lively again. It was as if the farce had never happened at all, and no one mentioned it again. Without Sasha apanying him, Zeke was still able to deal with the big shots with ease. For the sake of Sasha, no one dared to disregard Zeke as well. N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. ¡°Look at him." Alexa said with a bright smile. She looked at Zeke as if he was a joke. "Why waste your time on that kind of person? He is unworthy of your attention at all." "Yes, I know. I will look at you every second," Alexa flirted with Terrence. Terrence coughed, and his ears turned red. Then he replied somewhat unnaturally, "There¡¯s no need for you to be like this." Alexa deliberately teased him. "What? Okay, then I won''t look.¡± "No." Terrence replied firmly and seemed jealous. At that time, Zeke came over on his own initiative. ¡°Thank you, Alexa. Without you, I really don''t know what to do," Zeke said politely. "So polite. No wonder Ms. Molina likes you," Alexa said with a pretended smile. ¡°What did Ms. Molina say to you just now?" "Do you want to know?" Alexa deliberately spoke slowly. She clearly sensed the hostility in Zeke''s eyes. "Secret." She casually replied and then left with Terrence. Alexa did not dare to eat anything at the banquet. Terrence estimated that she must be hungry and left with Alexa without any exnation. After getting in the car, Alexa immediately took off her high heels. "You don''t have to force yourself like this in the future. You can do whatever you like. There''s no need to worry too much." Terrence was concerned for Alexa. "Since I want to put on a disguise, I still have to do it properly. After all, those people are smart and have sharp eyes." Alexa smiled easily. Alexa was pregnant but did not announce the news to the public. She did so in case some vicious people wanted to harm her. ¡°Aren''t you curious about what Sasha said to me just now?" "You can tell me. I believe in you." "She is questioning our marriage and thinks that I am your puppet." As soon as Alexa finished speaking, Terrence''s gaze instantly became unbelievably cold. "I can teach her a lesson. She must know what she should not say,¡± Terrence said coldly. ¡°I''m not angry either way. I don''t care what others think, really,¡± Alexa replied indifferently. "I didn''t handle it well enough. Sorry.¡± Terrence¡¯s tone was particrly sincere, and Alexa felt bad. "You don''t have to worry about it.¡± "I don''t care what they think of me, but I care about what they think of you. Alexa, you are really nice. So I can¡¯t stand them smearing you,¡± Terrence said slowly. Alexa did not expect Terrence to be so angry, coaxing him for a long time before he slightly suppressed his mood. ¡°Let''s go to the hospital. Go and check Dr. McMin." Alexa changed the topic. The power of the Lumis family in Seattle was not small, so the news of Sonya¡¯s ident instantly caused quite a stir. The entrance of the hospital was already surrounded by reporters, and they wanted to hit the headlines immediately. When Terrence''s car drove into the hospital from the side, it instantly caused another wave of commotion. If not for the bodyguards stopping them, those reporters would have already rushed over. "Jeremy is really a high-profile person. But he is indeed quite an asshole," Alexamented. Those reporters were obviously sent by someone. When Jeremy was interviewed, he would directly push the me onto Sasha. Such a method would not only put Jeremy on the innocent side but also greatly damage Sasha''s public image. Terrence obviously did not like Jeremy either. Therefore, when he saw Jeremy, Terrence¡¯s face was always indifferent. In contrast, Jeremy was much more enthusiastic. Even when he was outside the operation room, Jeremy could stille forward and fawn at Terrence with a smile. Terrence held Alexa in his arms and hid to the side. The disdain was all written on his face. And Jeremy''s smile seemed a little awkward. "Mr. Lumis, how is your mother?" Alexa asked. "The doctor said it was quite serious. She was pushed into the operating room as soon as we arrived at the hospital.¡± "Do you know about Mrs. Lumis¡¯ situation?¡± ¡°I''m quite busy with work. Sasha used to take care of my mother," Jeremy stammered. After saying that, Jeremy changed his expression. "But I didn¡¯t expect her to be so vicious. She knew that my mother was in poor health and deliberately made her angry." Alexa ignored what Jeremy said and did not take his words to heart. After that, a steady footstep came from behind them. Finley handed a medical case to Jeremy with a serious expression, looking a little angry. "As the patient''s son, you don''t even know her basic situation. It really shouldn''t happen." "I know. Thank you,¡± Jeremy smiled reluctantly. Finley nced at Alexa and Terrence. "If there''s nothing else, Ill leave now." "Dr. McMin, if you have time tonight, bring Thalia to have a meal together." "Okay." Finley never refused Alexa¡¯s invitation. "Mr. Lumis, we''ll be leaving.¡± Seeing Alexa''s and Terrence¡¯s cold attitudes toward him, Jeremy was obviously disappointed. "Mrs. Ramsey, about Sasha, she...¡± "We don''t care how she is. Goodbye,¡± Terrence coldly interrupted Jeremy. When they left the hospital, Edwin had already sent people to cast the reporters away. At the same time, Sasha posted her medical report on social media. Chapter 420 Chapter 420 Chapter 420 More Convincing Other than her injury report, Sasha also exposed the abuse she had suffered in the Lumis family all these years. Jeremy kept having affairs and had sexual rtionships with many women. Meanwhile, Sonya was so sick that she constantly beat and scolded Sasha. Alexa was right just now. The wound on Sasha''s waist was because she was beaten by Sonya all the time. Sonya hit her with the stick. However, Sasha truly cared about Zeke. Even at that point, she didn¡¯t say a word about Zeke. After returning to the vi, Terrence had the chef prepare a table of food. When Finley brought Thalia to the vi, both of them were dressed very casually. ¡°Alexa, is this what you want? It contains Mrs. Lumis¡¯ medical records for many years." Thalia handed Alexa a folder. Alexa shared a knowing smile with Thalia, then took out the paper on the inside, and carefully examined it. "Her illness was examined ten years ago, and it''s been a long time, indeed. I analyzed her medicine in the past five years and found something strange. It is not the most suitable medicine for her disease,¡± Finley said. "Yes, I have indeed never heard of this medicine as well. Is it a recent medicine?" Alexa asked doubtfully. "I have already extracted the sample and asked someone to analyze it. It is indeed a recent medicine. Because the side effects are too strong, it is not approved to enter the market yet." After Finley finished speaking, Terrence also received the information from Edwin. He spoke up calmly, ¡°It is the special team that Jeremy found. Although this medicine has a healing effect on heart disease, it will affect the brain nerves. It''s curing the heart but harming the brain at the same time.¡± "It''s Sasha who has been taking care of Mrs. Lumis for so many years. So she should be very clear about the changes in Mrs. Lumis'' physical condition,¡± Alexa analyzed and said slowly. "Mrs. Lumis'' condition is not optimistic. There were several times when she needed surgery due to the rejection of medicine, but it said her family members did not agree on the report.¡± After Finley finished speaking, he gazed at Alexa with a serious look. He had worked in the hospital for many years, so of course, Finley had seen a lot of ridiculous cases. However, the Lumis family''s situation still made him very disgusted. Sensing that Finley''s mood was not right, Thalia interrupted in a timely manner and ended the topic. ¡°Alexa, I¡¯m so hungry. Let''s talk about thister. What do we have for dinner tonight?" Thalia held Alexa''s hand. Hearing that, Terrence took the opportunity to take the paper from Alexa. ¡°Let''s dig in.¡± Terrence was not very concerned about those things. He paid attention simply because Alexa cared and asked a few more questions. However, ording to the current situation, Sasha might have her eyes on Alexa already. Terrence casually restrained the emotions on his face and continued to put food in Alexa''s bowl as usual. Seeing that Terrence had to put food in Alexa''s bowl bit by bit, Thalia was really shocked. Although the Crompton family was indeed powerful and rich, Thalia had never been served like that since she was young. However, it seemed that serving food was part of Terrence''s life. He was a powerhouse and acted indifferently all the time. But at home, Terrence still had to take care of Alexa carefully. Few people would believe such a contrast. Thalia curled her lips into a smile silently. And Finley suddenly sent a few peeled shrimps into her bowl. He had slender fingers and perfect joints. While Finley calmly wiped away the oil stains on his fingers with a napkin, he looked even more pleasing to the eye. Thalia suddenly understood the essence of a good-looking man. Alexa quietly nced at them and suddenly smiled subtly as well. As soon as they finished their meals, Thalia left in a panic. Alexa had long been used to it. Before leaving, Thalia quietly said to Alexa. ¡°Alexa, I want to get married.¡± "Good news. When are you nning to hold the wedding? I''ll let Damar be your ring bearer,¡± Alexa nodded. "I do like Damar very much. But don''t we still have to ask Finley when ites to marriage?" Thalia changed her tone. As she spoke, Thalia nced at Finley with her eyes full of joy. ¡°Although we are engaged, Finley is too busy for a wedding.¡± "Maybe you should take the initiative?" Alexa blinked. But Thalia disagreed. Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. "What if I take the initiative and he doesn''t cherish me anymore?" Alexa only smiled and didn''tment. The two chatted for a while, and Finley had already walked to the side of the car. "Go ahead. Dr. McMin has been waiting for a long time,¡± Alexa urged. After Thalia got in the car, she did not mention what she had just discussed with Alexa. She stared at Finley''s hand for a while, somewhat lost in thought. "Why are you looking at my hand? Do I have something on my hand?¡¯ Finley finally couldn''t help but ask. "Well. Your hands look sexy.¡± Thalia teased without changing her expression. Finley had long gotten used to Thalia¡¯s teasing. His ears were faintly red, but he was not as nervous as before, unable to say anything. "Do you have anything else to say to me?¡± "Have you also studied psychology? I simply can''t hide my thoughts in front of you," Thalia repeatedly wondered. Finley said calmly, "No. You''ve made it very obvious that you don''t talk as much as before." Thalia yed with her nails and said lightly. "I just want to ask if you have the time recently.¡± Finley acted seriously. ¡°There have been a lot of things recently. But if you have something to deal with, of course, I can spare some time." Seeing him so serious, Thalia smiled even harder. ¡°It''s not something urgent. I just want to ask if you have the time to get married to me,¡± Thalia said casually. As soon as she finished speaking, the originally stable car suddenly stopped in front of the sidewalk. "It''s a red light." Finley was a little stiff and awkward. Thalia smiled casually as she noticed Finley''s face turn red. ¡°Is there a need to be so nervous, Dr. McMin?" "I''m driving. Don''t talk about this now. Let''s talk when we get back.¡± Finley coughed and didn''t even dare to look at Thalia. ¡°But I want to know your answer now.¡± Thalia softened her tone. ¡°How about it, Dr. McMin? Or do you not want to marry me?¡± Thalia asked, deliberately staring at Finley. "Don''t take nonsense. I don''t have such thoughts. I definitely don''t,¡± Finley said seriously. "Then I''ll take it as a yes. Let''s pick a good day and get the marriage certificate. Otherwise, I keep feeling that someone else is going to take you away from me." "You don''t feel secure. Actually, you can tell me at any time.¡± "Yes. You have to convince me more. For example, a marriage certificate," Thalia said as shebed her hair. "Okay. I promise you," Finley nodded without hesitation. "Does this count as me proposing to you?¡± Thalia asked mockingly. Chapter 421 Chapter 421 Chapter 421 Do You Love Me or Pity Me? "Well, I think so." Even if Finley was joking, he always had a serious look on his face. The more Thalia looked at him, the more she adored him. Taking advantage of thest ten seconds of red light, she leaned towards Finley''s eyes with a smile on her lips. Finley got prepared to be kissed, and he even intended to respond to the kiss. But before Thalia touched his eyes, she suddenly returned to her seat with a serious expression. "What are you thinking about, Dr. McMin? Concentrate on driving,¡± she whispered. Finley came back to his senses and saw the green light.He cleared his throat and pretended as if nothing had happened. He forced himself to calm down and continued driving. "Don''t look at me." "Why?" Thalia asked innocently. "Don''t you want me to look at you? Then who do you want to look at you?" "I didn¡¯t mean that..." "Dr. McMin, your ears are so red. Is it hot in the car?¡± she asked despite the obvious answer. "No..." Finley gripped the steering wheel even tighter, obviously nervous, road condition. Thalia stopped teasing him and began to chat with Alexa on the phone. Alexa was sorting out the documents with Terrence in the study. When she learned that Thalia and Finley would get married, she was not surprised. "They love each other. It is only a matter of time before they get married.¡± Alexa happily told the news to Christina. Christina immediately sent 5% of the Duran Group shares to Thalia. "My mother really treats Thalia as her daughter-inw." "It''s a good thing.¡± Terrence nodded in agreement. "Finley is a good man. Thalia will be happy with him." "You have closely observed Finley, haven''t you?" Alexa suddenly came to her senses. ¡°When did you be so familiar?" "Not exactly. I just pay attention to the people around you." "Oh really?" Alexa suddenly became interested. ¡°Then how do you like me in your heart?" "I can''t say it in simple words," Terrence said sincerely. "I have to answer it slowly." "I find that you are better and better at manipting me.¡± Alexa stretched out a finger and poked his chest. "You know that I like to listen to this kind of sweet talk. Have you ever studied it?" "Study?" Terrence took the opportunity to hold her fingers. "Do I need to study how to love my wife?" "Mr. Ramsey, I''m quite satisfied.¡± Alexa looked at the pile of documents in front of Terrence. "Are there so many things to deal with in thepany?" Alexa asked in surprise. ¡°I have never seen you deal with so many documents before." "Well, these aren''t thepany¡¯s documents." Terrence brought another stack. "It''s information about the kindergartens.¡± He said slowly, ¡°In another year, Damar will go to kindergarten." "There''s still plenty of time." Alexa was even more shocked. "There are many good kindergartens in New York. Can''t we just choose one when the timees?" "We have to prepare early," Terrence said expectantly, "What''s more, this will be the first time Damar has his own social circle. I am looking forward to his growth." Alexa nodded thoughtfully. She stroked her belly and muttered. "What if we have a little daughter in the future?" Her joke caused Terrence''s expression to be even more serious. "I have drawn aplete investment n. The Hudson Group will allocate special funds for the kindergarten construction." Alexa gasped, "Actually... There''s no need to do so." "There is." Terrence said confidently and then continued to study the information about the kindergartens. Alexa was looking at the material of thewsuit sent by Sasha. She thought that Terrence would ask carefully, but he didn''t say anything at all, not worried that she would be badly affected. ¡°Aren''t you curious about what Sasha told me?" "Are you going to tell me?" Terrence looked at her with a faint smile, his eyes full of hidden meaning. "You already know it even if I don''t tell you, right?" "I only know a little about it. I want to ensure your safety." "But this matter with Sasha might be a little tricky. If I don''t handle it well, you will also be affected.¡± "Don''t worry." Terrence wasn''t flustered at all. "You only need to do what you want to do. I''ll help you whenever you need.¡± Alexa shared a knowing smile with him. She knew that Terrence would say this. "My goal is Zeke." She promised, "I''ll just teach him a lesson. I won''t go too far." "Okay." Terrence nodded and poured a cup of coffee for her. Sasha entrusted Alexa to help her find awyer. When she received Alexa''s news, Sasha was helped into the room by Zeke. Zeke secretly looked at Sasha''s phone, but Sasha carefully put the phone on the table with the screen down. Zeke immediately retracted his gaze and held her tightly from behind. "Sasha..." ¡°Don''t be naughty.¡± Sasha was as cold and proud as a queen. "I''m not in the mood tonight. My waist hurts." "Why did you deliberately make that old woman angry? She hit you so hard. My heart aches.¡± Zeke looked innocent. Zeke obediently helped Sasha take off her coat. Sasha leanedzily on the bed and watched Zeke kneel on one knee by the bed to do a massage on her legs. "If I am not ruthless to myself, how can I defeat Jeremy?" "If I could protect you, I couldn''t let you suffer so much." ¡°Be good..." Sasha rubbed his chin with her fingertips as if she was teasing a kitten. However, Zeke did not show any signs of resistance. He even obediently rubbed his head against her palm. Sasha lightly curled her lips, her eyes filled with a strong desire to control. "Zeke, are you happy to be by my side all these years?" N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. "Iam. I like you the most.¡± Zeke smiled innocently. "Your mother still doesn''t know about our rtionship, right?" Zeke twirled the ring on his hand and asked casually. "Do you n to let her know? "If you want to, I can tell her at any time.¡± "She will hate me to death, for I abducted her son,¡± Sasha said with a nonchnt smile. "I chose to be with you." "I can''t promise you anything. Maybe I can''t even protect myself. Aren''t you afraid?" They kept quiet for several seconds. Zeke leaned over and kissed her lips. "With you here, what am I afraid of?" Sasha smiled sincerely this time. Regardless of whether Zeke was sincere or not, she was still very moved. "No one has ever said such words to me.¡± Sasha held his face in her hands, her look bing very gentle. "Zeke, do you love me?" she murmured, "Do you love me ... or pity me?" "Sasha, of course I love you." Zeke carefully kissed her and moved Sasha''s heart bit by bit. "Then swear to me that you will never leave me, okay?" "Yes, I swear...¡± Sasha left a red lipstick mark on his Adam''s apple. She suddenly said, "Then let''s pick a time to get the marriage certificate." The tenderness in Zeke''s eyes immediately faded away. He even showed a faint coldness. Chapter 422 Chapter 422 Chapter 422 Go to Kingston Bar Sasha didn''t expect that Zeke would dare to push her away. The anger in her heart immediately intensified. "Zeke, what do you mean?" She shouted in a low voice and threw the shawl in her hand on Zeke. But Zeke remained unmoved and tidied up his clothes. He stood by the bed with cold eyes. "You said before that you didn''t want to get married. What do you mean now?" Zeke asked coldly as if looking at a stranger. "I just want to get a marriage certificate. I won''t cut you off. Why are you messing around here?¡± She had been with Zeke for so many years. This was the first time he talked back to her. Sasha''s face was particrly sullen. She did not have the usual teasing look. ¡°I''m not messing around. I just think you don''t respect me.¡± Zeke said it sincerely without any smile on his face. Realizing that he was really angry, Sasha sneered. "Do you not want to marry me, or do you have a guilty conscience?" Sasha said coldly, ¡°Take my money and have an affair outside? What does she look like? Bring her back and let me see her.¡± "We are talking about whether to get married. Don''t talk about anything else." "I can''t see why not.¡± Sasha stood up and threw away the vase on the table furiously. "If you can''t ept the marriage, then get lost." Sasha tidied up her clothes, her face as pale as ice. ¡°It''s not like I can''t do without you. I don''t need you.¡± Zeke was so angry that he left without saying a word. The more Sasha thought about it, the angrier she got. She chased him to the door and cursed. "You heartless bastard, get out of here!¡± Then, she heard the sound of the car engineing from the yard. Zeke went to the garage to drive his car away. Sasha paced back and forth in the room. She was so angry that her tears came out. She tried her best to suppress her fury and called her assistantn Stones. "Send someone to follow Zeke." Sasha ordered firmly, ¡°Don''t kill him. If he dares to hook up with any woman, report to me immediately.¡± She kept calling Zeke, but he didn''t pick up any of her calls. Sasha spat fiercely and then powerlessly fell onto the sofa. For so many years, this was the first time they had quarreled. Just now, Zeke''s eyes were so red as if he wanted to kill her. Sasha felt scared just thinking about it. "This isn''t over yet! Bastard, I will kill you!" She scolded. Not long after, Zeke came to thergest bar in Seattle. It was obviously not his first time going to Kingston Bar. As soon as Zeke entered the bar, the manager personally went out to wee him. "Mr. Duran, you are here. Mr. Clough is waiting for you upstairs.¡± The manager ttered him. ¡°Got it." Zeke''s eyes were filled with hostility. He was obviously in a bad mood tonight. The atmosphere was depressing in the VIP room. The unsmiling bodyguards were standing around the roomyer byyer, obviously protecting some important people. A few men in suits were sitting in the seats. There were more than ten bottles of strong liquor on the table. Zeke recognized Irvin at a nce. He was wearing a cold ck suit, much thinner than before. His aura was getting colder and colder. Jovan nced at him lightly and then turned to talk to the man beside him. Zeke chuckled, picked up his ss, and poured a ss of wine. "Mr. Niebergall, let''s have a drink?" Irvin frowned in disgust and waved his hand away. "Where did youe from? You''re like a clown." The ss in Zeke¡¯s hand smashed to the ground. The bodyguards got a lot closer to Zeke. "Don''t be so nervous. I mean no harm." Zeke smiled and raised his hands. He winked at the bodyguard closest to him. However, the next second, he suddenly attacked ruthlessly and knocked the bodyguard to the ground with a few punches. "Tsk." He slowly tilted his head and said impatiently, "Lame. So boring.¡± A murderous look shed across Irvin''s eyes. His hostility towards Zeke became more and more obvious. ¡°Risking your neck?" Irvin asked coldly. "That''s enough,¡± Jovan said slowly, "What are you arguing about? You made a fuss the moment you arrived.¡± Zeke immediately put away his previous sloppy appearance and respectfully greeted, ¡°Hello, Mr. Clough." ¡°How have you been with Sasha recently?" ¡°Still the same." Speaking of this topic, Zeke was a little impatient. "She is very vignt. For the time being, she is not willing to deal with the Duran family.¡± ¡°This woman is not that simple." Jovan chucked. "You can''t fool her with just a few words." "She is troublesome." ¡°If you want to deal with the Duran family, she can be your pawn.¡± Jovan stared straight at Zeke with cold eyes. "Get married to her. I will ask thewyer to find a way to transfer her property to you." ¡°Get married?" Zeke felt annoyed just thinking about it. ¡°No.¡± "What, you''re tempted now? You have pretended to be affectionate for a few days and even deceived yourself?" Irvin sneered. His words clearly carried a sense of sentiment. Jovan''s guard against Irvin deepened, so he the topic at the right time. Zeke drank two sses of wine. Sasha kept calling him. At this time, someone at the side teased. "It''s okay to lie to a woman to coax her. Mr. Duran, there is no need to be so stubborn." "Coax?" Zeke was quite proud. ¡°Ignore her for two days and she wille to me by herself.¡± Irvin did not speak and silently frowned. Zeke left shortly after. N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. The manager found a driver to send him off. As soon as Zeke arrived at the garage, a group of people surrounded him. ¡°Oh? Who sent you? Why are they so concerned about me?" Zeke said with a sinister smile. The group of people didn''t waste time talking to him and directly went forward to fight with him. Zeke was no match for a group of people, so he quickly fell into a disadvantage. However, they did not really want to kill him. Zeke had two ribs broken and suffered some minor injuries. ¡°Irvin, I will kill you sooner orter.¡± Zeke wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth indifferently. A few cars surrounded him in an instant. The person was wearing a mask, so Zeke could not recognize him. "Zeke." The man said coldly and threw a stack of documents at his feet. "It''s okay to y a game, but don''t cross the line.¡± Zeke didn''t say anything. "You secretly bribed the executives of the Duran Group and secretly transferred thepany funds. It''s enough for you to be held in prison for eight to ten years.¡± "Who are you?¡± Zeke questioned angrily. "You haven''t even figured out your opponent. You''re quite ridiculous." The man sneered. "We can sue you until your reputation is ruined, but our boss wants to show you some respect." Chapter 423 Chapter 423 Chapter 423 She Only Loves Herself "Are you sent by Sasha?¡± The man ignored him and left as soon as he finished speaking. Zeke punched his car angrily and asked the driver to drive to the Molina¡¯s house. Sasha didn''t expect Zeke would suddenlye back.She was just about to put on airs and lecture him, but Zeke directly kicked open the door aggressively. "What the hell are you doing?¡± Sasha screamed in a sharp voice. The anger she had suppressed with great difficulty rose again. But when she saw Zeke''s injuries, Sasha was still slightly stunned. ¡°How did you end up like this? What, you were scratched by your little lover?¡± Sasha sneered. Zeke entered the room with a malicious look in his eyes. His aura was unbelievably cold. "Shouldn''t I be asking you why, Ms. Molina?¡± he said in a deep voice. "What do you mean?" Sasha didn''t expect Zeke to be so troublesome. "You suspect that I did it?" "Didn''t you?¡± Zeke gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words, "Don¡¯t you send people to monitor me every day? Didn''t you ask them to report everything I did in detail?" Sasha''s face was gloomy, but she didn¡¯t show any guilty conscience. "Did you know my personality on the first day?" "You promised to take back the shares of the Duran Group for me. I have been with you for so many years. Have you ever helped me once?" "You deliberately quarreled with me because of this?" Sasha had been in the business world for so many years and had seen all kinds of dirty tricks. Zeke''s tricks were so childish and amusing. "I thought about it. We''d better not get married," Sasha said nonchntly, ¡°You don''t have anything valuable to me.¡± As he heard this, Zeke''s eyes shed with killing intent. He deliberately came back to argue with her so that Sasha could bargain with him and begged him to get married.But Zeke didn''t expect that Sasha was not a romantic. Although Sasha enjoyed being loved, from beginning to end, she only loved herself. Zeke was a little annoyed, and his face was full of gloom. Sasha sexily walked to the door. Suddenly, she turned back and nced at him. "If your injury is not so serious. I''ll get the family doctor to treat it for you.¡± She flicked her sleeves, her charming eyes filled with coldness. "I don''t want you to be a cripple when you leave here." "Are you really going to dump me? Other than me, who else would spoil you?" Zeke asked impatiently. "There are plenty of men." Sasha pursed her lips. "I like the sense of excitement. Don''t you think so, Zeke?" After that, she went straight back to her room. Zeke lost face and moved out of the Molina''s house that night. The next morning, Alexa woke up very early. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. Sasha replied to her and hinted that she wanted to cooperate with her. Alexa was not in a hurry to reply. She threw herself into Terrence¡¯s arms intimately. "I can''t stay with you today, darling.¡± Hearing her call him like that, Terrence held her hands and squeezed them. "What are your ns for today?" "I have an appointment with a college ssmate. I haven''t seen her for many years." "When are you going out? I''ll send you there.¡± "Okay." Alexa changed into a loose dress. Her belly was getting bigger and bigger day by day. Even if she wore a loose dress, others could faintly see the bulge on her belly. Terrence leaned towards her from behind and gently covered her belly with both hands. "Come back early." Terrence kissed her on the side of her neck. ¡°We agreed to have fun together. Stay with me more often, okay?¡± "When did I not stay with you?" Alexa smiled. "Why didn''t I find out that you were so clingy?" ¡°It''s not toote to find out now." Terrence wanted to stay with her all day long, but he still actively sent Alexa out. "Can''t you take me with you?" He looked a little wronged. "It''s a girl gathering. I''m afraid you won''t be able to enjoy yourself." ¡°Alright, I''m not ranked first in my wife''s heart today. I''m so sad,¡± Terrence said earnestly. "I wille back early." "Then you have to make it up to me,¡± Terrence said, ¡°As for thepensation, it''s up to me.¡± "Sure." Alexa agreed and got out of the car. Then she entered the cafe. Terrence watched as her figure disappeared around the corner. The tenderness on his face quickly disappeared and was reced by a murderous coldness. He contacted Edwin and asked coldly. "What happenedst night?" "Mr. Ramsey, someone made a move before usst night." When Edwin reported this, he was trembling with fear. For so many years, this was the first time he had failed such a small matter. "We went one stepter than them." "Have you found out who they are?¡± "I¡¯m sorry, Mr. Ramsey...¡± Edwin was even more nervous. "They didn¡¯t reveal any information about their identities. We couldn''t trace their whereabouts from the surveince." Edwin thought that Terrence would be furious, but he just let out a yfulugh. "A mere Zeke made you guys so miserable." "Mr. Ramsey, I will continue to investigate.¡± "Don''t rush. Wait for them to give themselves away," Terrence said unhurriedly. This game had just begun. Terrence was like a hunter whose desire to conquer had been aroused. He was patiently waiting for prey to appear. At this time, Alexa entered the VIP private room. Awoman in a ck dress stirred the sugar cubes in the coffee. When she heard Alexa''s step at the door, she looked up unhurriedly. "Hey, there you are. What do you want to drink?¡± she said warmly, "Although this is a cafe, there should still be chicken soup or something.¡± "A ss of warm water is fine. Thank you." Alexa sat down opposite her and handed her an envelope. "There is a check inside. Ms. Saville, see if you can ept the price," she said calmly. Marin Saville opened the envelope in front of her. When she saw the number on the check, Marin chuckled. "Mrs. Ramsey, I found that I really underestimated you." Alexa looked innocent but had her tricks. She was much more straightforward than Marin''s former employers. "Does your husband know that you are so powerful in private? The matterst night must have blown up a lot, right?" Alexa was unmoved. There was no emotion in her eyes. "Just help me settle this matter," Alexa said lightly. "Thoroughly investigate Zeke. I want all the evidence." "No problem. But you have to tell me what Zeke did.¡± ¡°As far as I know, one of the rules of your industry is not to know too much.¡± Seeing that Alexa was not so easy to fool, Marin winked at her with a mischievous smile. "Okay, I ept themission." Marin held the brim of her hat and got up to leave. "Oh right, I can give you a piece of news for free,¡± Marin said. "Sasha and Zeke broke up." Chapter 424 Chapter 424 Chapter 424 Take It as Me Marrying You Again Oh, I got it. Thank you.¡± Alexa replied calmly with a smile in her eyes. Marin had epted a lot ofmissions, but this was the first time she had seen someone like Alexa. Perhaps Terrence now still thought that Alexa was fragile. Just thinking about this, Marin felt that Alexa had brilliant methods.She thought that Alexa was obviously not someone to be trifled with. As long as Alexa was willing, no matter who it was, they would definitely be toyed with by her. Marin quietly curved her lips, and she quickly disappeared around the corner. Alexa added a pot of scented tea and watched the scenery outside the window with great interest. She knew how Sasha and Zeke broke up. Zeke was oversensitive, but he was too stupid.He had been targeted after a quarrel with Sasha, so he would think that it was Sasha''s deliberate revenge. However, there seemed to be a lot of people who had targeted Zeke. Alexa only asked someone to warn Zeke to find out his background. But Irvin directly asked his people to beat Zeke up. It was interesting that Irvin had personal animosity towards Zeke. Alexa sat alone for a while before Sasha called her. Alexa invited Sasha to the coffee shop. When Sasha appeared in front of her, Alexa realized that Sasha had be much more haggard. Although she still had delicate makeup, it could not hide the ck rim of her eyes. "What do you want to talk to me about?¡± Alexa asked with a smile, "About Jeremy? Thewyer is preparing the documents. The court will start soon." However, Sasha was not interested in this matter.She ignored her image and took a slug of her coffee, still hiding her anger. "I just want to ask you how to attract a man." "It is quite a private question." Alexa politely argued it off. "I can''t answer it.¡± "You can deal with a man like Terrence, so you should be quite capable." Alexa smiled and did not say anything else. "Zeke broke up with me.¡± Sasha looked gloomy as she said, "I suspect that he has a hidden lover. Last night, he came back with a body full of injuries. I don''t know who he has offended.¡± "You want to help him get revenge?" N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. "I know him well," Sasha sneered, "In the past when he stirred up trouble, he would beg me to help him settle it. This time, I have to make him suffer a little.¡± "Are you really sincere with him? Then what about our cooperation?" "I''m just enjoying hispanion.¡± Sasha''s eyes flickered, cold and emotionless. "Even if it''s a kitten or a puppy, it should know some rules after I raised it for a few years." Sasha said coldly, "His behavior is equal to betrayal. I''m quite disappointed in him.¡± However, Sasha added after she finished speaking. "But he is my man. Before Jeremy is solved, I will not help you deal with him." "It doesn''t matter." Sasha nced at the scented tea in front of Alexa and suddenly said. "You won''t suddenly turn hostile, will you?" "Only you can give me what I want,¡± Alexa said slowly, "So you can rest assured." Sasha still did not trust Alexa. Alexa did not care much about her attitude. Sasha was still worrying about Zeke when Alexa suddenly saw a top search. Zeke and Alissa entered a hotel together and were photographed by the media. This news was quickly spread on the Inte. Sasha obviously knew this matter as well, but she did not intend to solve it. "He is still young.¡± Sasha said disdainfully, "Is there any point in using this method to anger me?¡± "Zeke has officially announced the news of his love.¡± Alexa calmly said, "He and Alissa have known each other for a long time.¡± "I still have something to do, so I have to leave now.¡± Sasha changed her face in an instant, her expression extremely ugly. Alexa was not very interested in this farce. After tasting the scented tea, Terrence called her. She left the coffee shop and found that Terrence''s car was parked at the door. "I was passing by. I didn¡¯t disturb you from catching up, right?¡± "Yes. I just met Ms. Molina and chatted with her for a while." "Sasha?" Terrence was full of resistance to Sasha and had no good impression of her at all. "If she dares to make things difficult for you, I will handle her." "She did not make things difficult for me, and she has a lot of trouble now.¡± Zeke''s behavior was clearly a p in the face of Sasha in public. Sasha was such a strong-minded person. How could she tolerate Zeke being so impudent? Terrence took Alexa to have lunch.He had wanted to take Alexa to the scenic spots after a lunch break, but Christina called him. "My mother and Henry n to go see the wedding dress in the afternoon and let us go with them.¡± Alexa did not expect their progress to be so fast. They had arranged to meet at the wedding gauze shop. When Alexa and Terrence arrived at the wedding gauze shop, Christina and Henry had already measured their size and were discussing the style of the wedding dress with the designer. "Alexa, Terrence, you are here.¡± Henry kindly greeted Alexa and Terrence. He had been holding hands with Christina the entire time, and they looked extremely loving. Alexa looked at the wedding dresses around her, and her heart softened. Christina looked at Alexa and Terrence and suddenly raised a question. "I remember that you have been married for almost seven years, right? Do you want to take a set of wedding photos tomemorate your marriage?¡± "Ah?" Alexa blushed. "It is not necessary...¡± "It is very reasonable.¡± Terrence answered very seriously, and Alexa looked at him with a shocked face. ¡°Terrence?¡± "I wanted to mention this matter to you on a more formal asion,¡± Terrence said slowly, "But since mother mentioned it, we can talk to the designer first." Seeing that Terrence''s expression was very serious, Alexa realized that he was not joking. They had been married for so many years, but their wedding photos had indeed not been ced in their bedroom. After all, they were only married formercial cooperation between their families at that time. Alexa thought that Terrence had already thrown away the photos. What''s more, after those three years, she did not care too much about these superficial ceremonies. For Alexa, as long as they could still hold hands and hug each other safely, it was already great happiness.She did not respond for a long time. Terrence thought that this matter made her unhappy. He became nervous. "Okay." Alexa suddenly nodded, stepping forward to hold his arm. "Shop for the wedding dress with me." "OK." They were as loving as newlyweds. When they looked at each other, their eyes were filled with joy. "Actually, I never thought that I would be able to wear a wedding dress again in my life.¡± When this matter was brought up, Terrence felt quite guilty. But Alexa was smiling as she interlocked her fingers with his. "Just treat it as me marrying you again, okay?" Alexa only took her words as a joke and did not care about it too much.But she did not notice that there was a hidden emotion in Terrence''s eyes. Chapter 425 Chapter 425 Chapter 425 The Happiness That I Once Longed for In the end, Alexa did not choose the wedding dress she wanted. Because she was pregnant, it was inconvenient, and her waist would be a lot thicker. ¡°Let''s talk about itter," Alexa said indifferently. "There is no such thing as I want for the time being." When Alexa and Terrence went downstairs, Christina and Henry had already finished talking with the designer. They had arranged to have dinner together at night. Christina and Henry wished they could be together at every moment, and their rtionship could not be better. Alexa strolled for a long time and was a little tired. Terrence pulled her over and let Alexa lean on his shoulder to rest. He especially liked to y with her fingers today. Alexa silently felt the temperature of his fingertips and felt that Terrence had gradually grabbed her palm, his strength much stronger than usual. It did not hurt, but Alexa felt that his mood was a little abnormal.Her psychiatrist had told her before that this was typical emotional anxiety.She was a little worried about Terrence''s state. "What''s wrong with you?¡± Alexa uttered softly and leaned closer to Terrence. "What''s the matter?" "I''m fine.¡± Terrence smiled at her easily and then kissed her forehead. "I just like to stay with you.¡± "Don''t we usually stay together?" "I want to stay with you even more today." Hearing the childish conversation between them, Christina could not help but cover her mouth and smile. "Did Henry and I disturb you?" She teased. Terrence was a very bashful man. He held Alexa''s hand tightly, and his ears were red as he coughed lightly twice. However, Alexa did not care. She even teased Christina. "Mom, you and Henry are clearly more intimate. You never take your eyes off him.¡± "I would like to see him all the time.¡± Christina admitted frankly, "I haven''t seen enough before. So I have to make up for it now." Christina and Henry were both middle-aged, but they kept a positive attitude. Moreover, Henry was very good at taking care of Christina, so Alexa was not worried that Christina would be unhappy. "Where do you n to settle down in the future?" "Christina likes to watch the sea, so we n to settle down in New York and set up a perfume shop.¡± "Finley will take over the medical center. I will no longer be Dr. Fleming but his boss," Christina said with a smile. "As long as you are happy, everything will be fine." Henry smiled very lovingly. Alexa watched their interaction and felt happy. After dinner, the car Edwin arranged for them arrived. "Let''s walk back slowly." Alexa suddenly said, "Do you have an urgent job to deal with?" "No." Terrence was very happy to keep Alexapany. "I''ll take a walk with you." "Okay." N?velDrama.Org owns all content. Alexa held Terrence''s arm when they slowly walked back along the coastal road. "Time flies." Alexa suddenly sighed with emotion, "I don''t remember thest time we took a walk together like this.¡± ¡°Let''s take a walk every day. Is that okay?¡± Terrence was like a boy who was in love for the first time. He considered Alexa''s mood all the time. Only in front of Alexa could he put down his guard and disguise. "There are two meanings to having a walk.¡± Alexa said with a hidden meaning, "One is to enhance our rtionship, and the other is to talk about things that have not been said in time." Terrence already understood what she meant. Alexa didn¡¯t like to hide her concern. She would say whatever she wanted to say. "When we just came out of the wedding gauze store, I felt that something was wrong with your mood.¡± She said sincerely, ¡°But you didn''t take the initiative to tell me, so I have been worried about you.¡± "Sorry..." "You don''t need to say sorry to me.¡± Alexa hooked his index finger and asked, ¡°So what exactly is it? Can you tell me?" "I feel that I owe you.¡± Terrence''s eyes were covered with ayer of darkness. "The wound is always there. No matter how much I make up for it, I can''tpletely eliminate the injury you suffered." "Don''t torture yourself like this." Alexa smiled in relief. "Life is short, and when you are with the person you love, you have to find the beauty of life. Why do you stay in the past and torture yourself?¡± ¡°But I..." ¡°Just treat it as I have already revived once again three years ago." Alexa looked at the blue sea, her eyes a little dazed. "You know that my memory has been tampered with, although now I look no different from an ordinary person..." Alexa was silent fora moment, and Terrence suddenly felt his heart pain. "But in fact, I will gradually forget some things of the past. This is the reason why I cherish every minute and every second when I am with you." "Alexa, I am sorry." "You don''t need to say sorry." Alexa was very optimistic and did not have many regrets. "Now I have my family and my love, and our second baby is about to be born." She said slowly, "The happiness I once looked forward to is being realized step by step.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, they walked to the door of their house. Terrence looked much better. Before going to bed, he had to go to his study room to deal with some affairs. Alexa kissed him on the side of his neck and smiled gently. "Then, good night, Mr. Ramsey." "I''ll be back soon.¡± "Okay." Alexa had been gently saying goodnight to Terrence, but as soon as the door closed, she coldly answered Marin''s call. "Have you checked it out?¡± "Why are you talking to me in such a cold tone?¡± Marin teased Alexa without any fear. "You were having a sweet time with your husband on the street just now." Hearing her words, Alexa said in a colder voice. "You were following me? As far as I know...¡± "You want to mention the industry rules, right?" Marin said nonchntly, "Alright, alright, I got it. Thank you for your reminder. I will never do it again.¡± "You''d better be.¡± Alexa''s attitude was always cold, like a proud queen in front of Marin. Marin was actually a little afraid of Alexa. Alexa looked very simple and innocent, but if she cared about something, she had many tough methods. "I have checked it out.¡± Marin immediately entered a working state, and her tone became a lot more serious. "I''ll send you Zeke''s information. Oh, by the way, there are some people investigating me recently." "You want me to help you solve it?" "Yes." Marin said briskly, "After all, for the sake of your matters, I have rejected all the other commissions." ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa said rationally, ¡°How are you going to thank me?" "Why don''t I take someone to beat Zeke up again?¡± "I don''t need it for the time being. You owe me for now. I will tell you when I have thought it through.¡± "Okay." After Marin sent the message, she packed up her things and left the coffee shop. However, when she went out of the coffee shop, she almost bumped into a man. "I''m sorry, Miss." The man asked as he supported her, "Are you alright?¡± Marin did not intend to pay attention to the man, but when she looked up and saw the man''s face, a hint of interest shed across her eyes. "Ah..." Marin cried, "My foot hurts. I think I wrench it." Chapter 426 Chapter 426 Chapter 426 You Don''t Like to Laugh It was alreadyte at night, and there were no other guests in the coffee shop. Marin put her hand on the man¡¯s outstretched hand and smiled elegantly at him. "Could I ask you to help me over please?" ¡°Sure.¡± The man nodded gently and carefully helped Marin over. Marin adjusted the frame on the bridge of her nose and hid the smile in her eyes. "Let me take a look at your ankle?¡± The man knelt in front of her with one knee, his movements elegant and polite. Marin rolled up her dress and stared at him intently.Her eyes were so passionate that the man looked up at her. "Why are you looking at me?¡± "You look handsome." Marin tilted her head charmingly as she asked, "Is this your first time here for coffee?" "Yes." The man skillfully massaged her ankle and then carefully helped her tie the straps of her high heel. Marin put on her lipstick and smiled. "Then I''ll treat you to a cup of coffee.¡± Then, she instructed the shop assistant. "Make a cup of cappino for this gentleman. The same as my cup of coffee. Thank you.¡± The man quietly lowered his eyes to look at Marin, but before he could refuse, Marin paid and left. ¡°Enjoy your coffee and the night..." Marin said slightly, "Good night." The man did not like sweet coffee like cappino. He wanted to order a cup of Americano. However, when the shop assistant served the coffee, he also served a chocte cake. "Sir, please enjoy your coffee." After a moment of silence, the man picked up the coffee and took a sip. The mellow milk fragrance instantly lingered, and he was much warmer. At this time, Marin had already gotten in her car and called Alexa with great interest. "Pretty?" Marin said with interest, "I heard that your birthday banquet is approaching. Will I receive your invitation?" "My invitation?" Alexa replied calmly, "You''ve set your eyes on me again? Tell me, what do you want to do this time?" "For my work needs.¡± "Huh?" "I want to see someone, and you know that person." "Someone by my side?" "I guess so.¡± Marin said ambiguously, ¡°I''m a little interested in him." Their conversation ended very quickly. Alexa was confused,pletely not understanding what Marin meant. She thought about it for a while. Terrence took a shower and came into the room, wearing a sleeping robe. "Why haven''t you slept yet? Aren''t you sleepy?¡± Terrence asked gently. "I am waiting for you." Alexa put down her phone and changed to a morefortable position to lie down. "It''s sote. You don¡¯t have to wait for me.¡± Terrence covered the corner of her quilt for her. ¡°But I will pay attention and won''t work sote." "I disrupted your n today.¡± "You will always be first in my heart, so you did not disrupt me." Terrencey down beside her, and Alexa immediately burrowed into his arms out of instinct. "It''s a little cold.¡± Alexa''s voice was muffled. Terrence immediately held her hand to check her temperature. "I''ll turn on the heater." ¡°No need.¡± Alexa leaned against his chest and said, "I just want you to hold me. Don''t let me go." "I see.¡± Alexa had never been so clingy before. But after she got pregnant, she would often feel insecure. It was fine in the daytime, but she would feel inexplicably flustered at night. Terrence spent most of his time with her, so she could suppress this feeling most of the time. But tonight, for some reason, her mind was always in a mess. "Have a good sleep.¡± Alexa''s heart ached for Terrence as she said, "I just want to hold you. It''s nothing.¡± However, as soon as she finished speaking, Terrence kissed her forehead. "I''ll go out for a while.¡± "Oh, okay." Alexa let go of Terrence, thinking that Terrence had something urgent to do. She curled up in bed alone, her emotions fluctuating. The doctor said that this was the normal reaction to pregnancy, so Alexa did not take it seriously. However, not long after, Terrence returned with a bowl of chicken soup. "I asked the chef to boil it this afternoon.¡± He helped Alexa up and said, "It''s good to drink it now. It''s your favorite vor.¡± He helped Alexa up and then fed her spoon by spoon. "Are you happy now?" "Yes, I am happy.¡± "You don''t like tough anymore." Terrence pinched her face and said, "I should think of another way to cheer you up." "Think of what way?" Alexa waited for him to answer with interest, and Terrence said seriously. "If there is anything else you want to eat and y with, you can tell me." Alexa thought about it, and her eyes were fixed on Terrence as sweet as honey. "You..." Alexa whispered, her eyes charming. Terrence pursed her lips and replied seriously. "No. That''s not allowed." "I see.¡± Alexa blinked andy down happily. "Then let''s rest early, Mr. Ramsey." "Okay." However, although Terrence agreed, he did not fall asleep at all that night. After Alexa fell asleep, he kept getting up to check her condition. It was not until her breathing became steady that Terrencey down at ease. Alexa slept soundly that night. When she got up the next day, Terrence was no longer by her side. Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. The servant served her breakfast. After washing up, Alexa changed her clothes. "Where is Terrence?" "Sir is at the beach, Mrs. Ramsey." "At the beach?" Alexa opened the curtains in surprise. Looking out of the room, she could indeed see Terrence. He wore casual clothes today and was strolling by the sea alone. "Sir went to the sea early in the morning and didn''t even have breakfast.¡± "Prepare another breakfast.¡± Alexa said, "I''ll go find him." Terrence did not expect Alexa toe to find him. He stopped and smiled much brighter than usual. "The wind is strong by the sea. I''ll go back and find you." "This is romantic.¡± Alexa handed the lunchbox in her hand to Terrence and said, "We can have breakfast together at the beach." Not far away, there was a pic area. Alexa held his hand and walked over there. After she ced the food inside one by one, she suddenly noticed Terrence''s movements behind her. "What''s wrong...?" Before Alexa finished speaking, a ring box suddenly appeared in Terrence¡¯s palm. He smiled sincerely at Alexa and then knelt on one knee. "What are you doing?¡± Alexa was so surprised that she froze in ce. "Alexa, you said to marry me again in the wedding dress shop that day. But in fact, I should take the initiative to approach you." Terrence¡¯s eyes were always looking into her eyes, so pure that there was no impurity at all. ¡°Actually, I have already prepared this ring for you for a long time." Terrence said in a low voice, ¡°Just like the one we were engaged to at that time. This time, I want to formally propose to you." Alexa did not make a sound. Terrence''s confession was very simple. Alexa, I''m sorry... Chapter 427 Chapter 427 Chapter 427 Proposal It was quiet for a few seconds, and there was only the sound of the sea breeze blowing. His confession was not like a touching poem, yet it reached her heart word by word. It was bittersweet and bloomed like a warm flower in her heart. Alexa''s eyes sparkled with tears. Terrence did not urge Alexa to answer. Instead, he maintained his posture and knelt in front of her on one knee. Alexa smiled suddenly. "Mr. Ramsey, no one proposes as you do." Terrence looked at her, his eyes full of anticipation and nervousness. "How can you say ''1 am sorry'' when you propose?" Alexa smiled in happiness as tears rolled down, "You have to say ''1 love you''. Little fool." "I love you." There were tears in Terrence¡¯s eyes too. "I love you. I love you..." Alexa didn''t reach out her hand to let Terrence put the ring on her finger, but stretched out to Terrence. "Hold me," she said. Without hesitation, Terrence reached out to Alexa, and Alexa then gently pulled Terrence up. Before Terrence could finish speaking, Alexa held him tightly. "I haven''t put the ring on your finger yet." Terrence embraced her with a smile and said in a doting tone, "May I finish the ritual?" Alexa kissed Terrence first and then left Terrence''s embrace.She just directly reached out her hand to Terrence. "We are equal. I don''t want you to show humbleness and kneel down." Alexa said calmly, "So, just put the ring on my finger like this, okay?" Terrence nodded and put the ring on her finger very solemnly. This ring was not very stylish now, but it was carefully chosen by Alexa herself in the past. "I do have very good taste." Alexa teased, "The more I look at it, the more I like it." She then looked at the ring on Terrence¡¯s hand. Apparently, he had been wearing it for many years. "This is just the marriage proposal that I dreamed of." Alexa and Terrence crossed their fingers and strolled on the beach. No noise, no crowd. Just the two of us. That''s all I wanted." "I should have prepared it earlier," Terrence said. Sensing that Terrence was about to say "sorry" again, Alexa quickly changed the topic. "Time makes romance, so everything is just right today." After she finished speaking, she added, "By the way, today you are not allowed to say ¡®Sorry¡¯ again." Terrence smiled and lowered his head coyly. "Okay, at your disposal, Mrs. Ramsey." Today was thest day of the holiday, and they did not go out for fun tonight. Terrence stayed with Alexa, who rested in the vi, while preparing for Alexa''s birthday banquet. "There''s no need to make such a brand banquet." Alexa closed the book. "Actually, I would more like to have a meal with just our family. It''ll be noisy if we invite too many people." Alexa disliked noisy ces, and now that she was pregnant, she longed for quietness more. "Yes, I understand." Terrence knew Alexa very well. "I''m arranging the chef. I''m worried that the dishes won''t suit your taste." Terrence arranged every detail. Including what to drink and what to eat, he nned everything well. Alexa suddenly thought that Marin had expressed interest in a certain man around her. He must be an extraordinary person that even the top-tier private detective would take a fancy to him. Alexa nced at Terrence but soon abandoned the thought in her heart. Impossible, absolutely impossible... "What''s the matter?" "Nothing." Alexa said absentmindedly, "I just found you were so handsome, so I took a few more nces at you." "A few more nces?" Terrence moved closer to her. "nce at me. Keep ncing at me, will you?" He was like a clumsy child, waiting expectantly for Alexa to give him the "candy". Alexa fed Terrence a strawberry, but he grew even more "insatiable". "I''m afraid it is not enough." His fingertips wandered on the back of Alexa''s hand. "It is not sweet enough." Alexa was not affectedly bashful. She leaned over and lightly kissed him on the lips. "Is this enough?" This kind of teasing kiss was way more intoxicating than any other intimate contact. Terrence was stunned for a moment but soon regained control and deepened the kiss with ease. Alexa fell on the sofa with a soft waist and wrapped her arms around Terrence¡¯s neck. However, a few secondster, a sudden phone call interrupted them. "My phone..." Alexa took the phone from the coffee table in a hurry. Terrence pursed his lips and felt a little unsatisfied. Seeing that it was a call from Zeke, Alexa immediately turned serious. "What is it?" ¡®Alexa, my sister. I want to meet you," Zeke said casually. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. His tone seemed sloven. Thinking of how he called Sasha, Alexa was very disgusted with Zeke calling her "my sister". "What''s the matter?" "Can you not be so cold?" Zeke didn''t care about Alexa''s mood at all. "Anyway, I am your younger brother in name." "I don''t have such a brother like you." Hearing Alexa''s words, Terrence gave her a look and then took over the phone. "What is it? You can tell me." Terrence¡¯s tone was very cold, and so were his eyes. Zeke was a little afraid of Terrence in his heart, but he wouldn''t give up easily. "Who are you?" Zeke said aggressively, "I am looking for my sister Alexa." "I am her husband." "Mr. Ramsey, you should say you are my brother-inw." Zeke questioned, "Do you still care about the Duran family in your heart?" "Haven''t you suffered enough yet?" Terrence sneered and remained calm, "Your problems can''t be settled, so now you are trying to involve my wife, isn''t it? Zeke, are you tired of living?" With his true intentions being seen through by Terrence, Zeke''s face turned blue. "In short, I''m not the only one to be med." Zeke argued, "If it wasn¡¯t for her to disrupt and provoked the Lumis family, the Duran family would not have been targeted." Terrence sneered silently. No one had ever dared to speak like that to him. "Okay." Terrence said in a deep voice, "I''ll talk to you." Although Zeke was so unbridled on the phone, he was too afraid to meet Terrence. That night, only Zeke¡¯swyers came. Terrence didn''t even show up but just let thewyer team of Hudson Group send them away. Alexa sat on the swing, swinging her legs with interest. "Let me guess what trouble that idiot caused again." "It''s just what he deserves." Terrence remained gentle toward Alexa. "Don¡¯t worry. I''ll deal with him." Terrence said in a t tone. However, Alexa knew Zeke too well. If Zeke didn''t call her, things might have been all right, but now, there must be huge trouble. After sending Alexa back to the room, Terrence went downstairs and called Edwin. "No matter where Zeke is hiding, find him tonight." Terrence ordered in a cold voice, "Bring him to me." "Yes, Mr. Ramsey." It was not difficult for them to search for someone. But when Edwin broke through the door of the hotel with his subordinates, he ran into those masked men with unknown whereaboutsst time. Both sides stopped for a second, and Zeke on the bed just sneered. "It seems that there are a lot of people caring about me. Who sent you guys then?" Chapter 428 Chapter 428 Chapter 428 You Are My Only Love The current situation suddenly became awkward. Both sides were in a stalemate, and neither of them was willing to back down. "Our boss said that we have to bring Zeke back." The leader of them was the first one to speak. It was a very cold female voice. Edwin did not speak, nor did he retreat with his men. "Firste, first served. Do you understand?" "Zeke, you have toe with us." Edwin spoke seriously and didn''t mean to concede at all. Although Zeke looked calm, he was very panicky in his heart.He sent a few messages with a stiff face, and his hands trembled as he typed. A few minutester, both Edwin and the cold woman received a call. "Withdraw." Edwin spoke without any hesitation. Therge room was immediately half empty. The woman sneered and looked Zeke up and down with disdain. "Coward." After that, she quickly left with her people. Zeke did not dare to say anything. He knocked over the vase on the cab and cursed "unlucky" before leaving the room in a hurry. There was a Bugatti Veyron parked downstairs. Zeke put his hands in his pockets and stood outside the car with a conflicted expression. The rear window slowly rolled down, and Sasha''s red lips parted slightly. "What are you standing there for? Isn''t it cold standing outside?" "Sasha..." Zeke said guiltily, pretending to be pitiful. "What''s wrong?" Sasha was very patient as if she was coaxing a child. "Sasha, are you still angry with me?" Zeke said weakly, "I was really a bastard before. I even yed with those women and deliberately came to anger you." Sasha kept silent. Seeing that, Zeke continued to exin, "Well. That''s all false. I just want you to be jealous. I want to test whether you care about me..." "I rushed over after I received your news." Sasha said calmly, "Isn''t it enough?" Zeke smiled brightly in an instant. He thought, stupid woman! You are so easy to deceive.He went straight to the back row, but Sasha stopped him. "Sit in the front seat. The back seat is crowded." Zeke was puzzled, but when he got in the car, he found that a man was sitting next to Sasha. The man was wearing a high-order suit, and he was quite young. Although the man did not speak just now, he kept holding Sasha''s hand. Sasha leaned on him intimately.She saidzily, "The boy is naughty. I''m sorry to bother you today." "It''s your business. It''s not troublesome." The man obviously did not put Zeke, this "boy" in his eyes. "Are you going to my ce tonight?" His words were very straightforward, and anyone could understand what he meant. "Sure." Sasha answered frankly. Zeke could imagine Sasha''s flirtatious expression when he heard her voice. He thought, how could she criticize me? Who knows how many men she might have slept with! Awave of anger suddenly shot out of Zeke''s heart. At this time, Alexa just called. "I heard that you have a rtionship with Sasha again?" Alexa sneered, "Don¡¯t be paranoid! Even if you are sheltered by her, thepany will still hold you ountable." "What?" "Someone provided proof to thepany''s email. It provides that you are seriously corrupt and use your power for personal gain..." Alexa read those crimes with great interest and even chuckled. "You dare to be so presumptuous with such a little power. You are so brave." Sasha and the man sat in the back row. Zeke did not want to lose face. "The Duran Group''sw team has already intervened. I just came to inform you..." Alexa paused, "Remember to appear in court. After all, you are the defendant." After hanging up the phone, Zeke¡¯s face darkened again. He thought, Xhe two people in the back row are still flirting openly. They do not put me in their eyes at all. "Sasha..." He was still trying to please her as usual, but Sasha was impatient. "What''s wrong?" Her tone was very cold. "I''m a little ufortable. I''m dizzy." Sasha sighed speechlessly and asked the driver to turn around and go to the hospital. The man followed them. Zeke deliberately walked beside Sasha and nced at that man. The doctor did a series of check-ups. Sasha turned to the man beside her. She said, "Harrison ke, you go back first. Let''s contact each other next time." "Okay." Harrison did not pester her. He kissed the back of Sasha''s hand like a gentleman and left. Zeke''s face changed instantly. "What is your rtionship with him?" Zeke asked unhappily, "How long have we been apart? Is he your new lover?" "Stop talking nonsense here." Sasha urged, "Hurry up and do the medical check-ups. I have other things to do." Although he was unhappy, Zeke was indeed afraid that Sasha would be angry. After all, Alexa just spoke sharply. If Sasha did not care about him, then Alexa would be even more presumptuous. He thought, this bunch of sluts! Zeke unwillingly swallowed the anger in his heart. The examination showed that he was in good health. "The doctor said that you just don''t have enough energy. You have to rest well." After that, Sasha sneered. "It seems that you have been quite happy these days." She sneered, "There are plenty of women in your bed, right?" "No." Zeke immediately gave in and tried to curry favor with Sasha. "l only love you. Don''t you know my heart?" N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. Sasha snorted coldly and did not continue to argue with him. "When are we going to get married, Sasha?" "Get married? I talked about it to you before. Let''s forget about this matter." "I said those fucking words to youst time. That''s my fault. Don''t be angry, okay?" Sasha was indeed angry that day. However, she had dated other types of men these past few days, so she was no longer interested in Zeke. "I''m not angry." She was a little impatient. "I''ll ask the driver to send you back. You don''t have to live in my house." "What do you mean?" "You saw that person just now." Sasha said directly, "Harrison is pursuing me." "So you like him too?" "Yes, I have a feeling. Why, can''t I?" Zeke said indignantly, "Slut." Then he walked forward with a cold face. Sasha smiled and did not take him to heart at all. Early the next morning, Marin called Alexa to "spill the tea". "I heard that Sasha is going to be engaged to Mr. ke." Alexa replied lightly, "Oh." Her expression was unchanged as she mocked. "Zeke is quite ridiculous." "He hasn''t given up yet." Marinughed, "This morning, he even went to Sasha''spany to deliver flowers, but he was chased out by the security guards." "The bigger themotion, the better." Alexa didn''t care. "This kind of idiot who ruined his future doesn¡¯t need me to deal with him at all." Marin was chatting with Alexa when her eyes suddenly locked on a figure by the window. Well, let''s stop the topic." She said hurriedly, "I see a puppy." Chapter 429 Chapter 429 Chapter 429 Be Rebuffed in the First Encounter A puppy? Alexa had a puzzled look on her face, not understanding what Marin meant. At this time, Marin gracefully adjusted the frame of her sses and showed a bright smile to the person outside the window. In a few seconds, the man entered the room and sat down in front of her. "What a coincidence, we met again." Marin warmly greeted the man. Her eyes glued to his face steadily. The man was a little shy of her gaze and just focused on looking down at the menu. There were no drinks in front of Marin. Seeing that, he said, ¡°What do you want to drink? This time, I''ll treat it aspensation fromst time.¡± "You helped me when I sprained my anklest time. So you don''t have topensate me." Marin smiled, "Does the cappino taste good?" The man nodded and closed the menu.He said to the waiter, "Two cups of cappino with chocte cake. Thank you.¡± "Give me your Line ount," Marin said, "I''ll transfer the money to you.¡± He answered seriously, "No, it''s not valuable." Seeing that, Marin smiled gently. ¡°Have you never been in a rtionship?" "Why are you asking me that?" Mann''s words made his ears red. Marin found that the man was a little cute. ¡°Transferring money is just an excuse. I just want your Line ount." "Oh..." "So, can I?" Marin waved her phone. This time, the man did not refuse and quickly agreed to her friend request. His personal information was extremely concise. His Line name was just two words, "Edwin Bradshaw". "Is this your real name?" Marin asked with interest. "Yes." Edwin nodded and answered concisely. Then he saw Marin''s Line name. Edwin asked curiously, "Do you like puppies?" "Yes, that''s right.¡± Marin nodded with interest, holding her chin and watching his reaction. "Do you like puppies too?" He looked really happy. "I like them." Marin looked at him, and the smile in her eyes deepened. "I like puppies." "I also like puppies. Little kittens are also very cute.¡± "I see.¡± Marin nodded meaningfully. "That''s good. We get the same interests.¡± Marin looked at her phone screen and changed Edwin''s nickname to ¡°puppy.¡± They had a cup of coffee together. The atmosphere was very quiet, and they did not talk too much. Marin did not finish her coffee, and she had only tasted a few mouthfuls of the cake, but she looked very happy. "Where do you work?" she asked, "Looking at your outfit, are you a college student who just graduated?" Edwin looked gentle and clean, and with the casual clothes he was wearing today, he looked quite young. However, he was already 26 years old. He was surprised that Marin regarded him as a college student. "It has been a while since I graduated." He replied ambiguously, ¡°I am now an assistant.¡± N?velDrama.Org owns all content. "Well, it is good." Marin nodded. "This is a promising job.¡± Edwin felt that she was teasing him, but he didn''t know how to reply. "Sorry." He hung his eyes shy. "I haven''t had much contact with girls, so I don''t know how to talk with you.¡± "Are you nervous?" Marin asked him with a smile. Edwin felt even more pressure in his heart. "No, I''m not nervous." ¡°Little liar." Marin was very good at chatting with this kind of "little boy¡±, which made Edwin blush with just a few words. ¡°Thank you for your coffee.¡± She got up and left, standing beside Edwin for a moment. "I''m very happy to chat with you. See you next time.¡± Edwin stared at her back for a while and was a little absent-minded. When she heard that Alexa was going back to New York, Marin specially prepared a gift for her. It happened that Terrence was not at home, so they could speak freely. "Ms. Duran.¡± Marin handed the gift box to her. "Inside are the jade pendants I prepared for the two babies. Also, this is a jade bracelet for you.¡± Marin knew that Alexa liked these jades, so she specially asked someone to find a top designer to make them. However, Alexa was obviously more interested in another thing. "Who is the puppy you just told me about?" Hearing this, Marin casually fobbed Alexa off, intending to change the topic. However, Alexa was quite smart. "Or is this man my person? The people who can attract your attention will never be ordinary people." "Ms. Duran, I suddenly realized that you are also so gossipy.¡± Marin blinked. "You want to get information from me, right?¡± "It is also a kind of humanitarian concern to properly care about the emotional state of my cooperative partner.¡± Marin did not care about her mighty words. She only said, "Now everything is unknown. He is very innocent, but that is the difficulty.¡± "What do you mean?¡± Alexa was even more enthusiastic. "Are you rebuffed in the first encounter?¡± ¡°That won''t be the case.¡± Marin waved her hand. "It''s just that he is very serious. He has never been in a rtionship. If I deliberately hook him, I will look like a bad woman." Marin kept on chattering and did not notice that Alexa''s gaze had be more subtle. "I can''t say anymore." Marin added, "You are too smart. If I continue, you will know his name." "I don''t have many male friends, but there are many good boys around Terrence.¡± Marin''s attitude was very vague. After drinking half a cup of coffee, she found an excuse to leave. When she drove away, Edwin just opened the door for Terrence. They seemed to have something to talk about, and Alexa nned to go back to the room to pack up first. But she did not take a few steps before Terrence stopped her. "What''s the matter?" "It''s not me.¡± Terrence looked at Edwin and said, "It''s him." After that, Terrence pulled Alexa to sit on the sofa. Edwin stood respectfully in front of them, looking quite conflicted. ¡°Tell us about it." Terrence said with great interest, "Let my wife give you an immediate answer.¡± "Mrs. Ramsey." Edwin''s ears were red. "I just want to ask you, if I go on a date with a girl, what gift should I prepare?" Alexa was stunned for a moment. She even suspected that she had hallucinations. She thought, Edwin follows behind Terrence all day long and seems to have no desire. This is shocking! He has a girl he likes now! "What kind of girl is she?" Alexa asked seriously. "She is very good. She is generous, gentle, and beautiful." Edwin smiled unconsciously. "We have met twice.¡± ¡°Edwin, are you nning to confess?" ¡°Not yet." He shook his head. "I don''t know how she feels about me." "What''s her nickname for you?" Alexa asked casually. "Nickname?" "Yes." Alexa nodded, "From these details, we can see how she feels about you.¡± "So that exins it." Edwin suddenly realized and quickly took out his notebook to write it down. Looking at his appearance, Terrence felt a little speechless. "Be smart, otherwise how can you get a girl''s heart?" He said as if he were a rtionship coach, "Stupid boy.¡± Alexa stared at Terrence without a word. Terrence pursed his lips and immediately closed his mouth. Chapter 430 Chapter 430 Chapter 430 Well Divorce After the Baby Is Born Alexa suggested that he send some gifts such as jewelry. Edwin nodded repeatedly. After he left, Alexa was still staring at the door andughing foolishly. "Still looking?¡± Terrence¡¯s voice was full of jealousy. Alexa finally retracted her gaze. "When did Edwin fall in love?" "Quick check.¡± Terrence suddenly said, "What is my nickname?" "Ah?" Alexa came back to her senses and took out her phone. Terrence saw the nickname. He asked in disbelief, "Terrence? Is it just my name?" "This is your nickname.¡± Alexa said honestly, "It''s a very sweet tag." After that, she casually took Terrence¡¯s phone. Seeing the words "Dearest Wife¡±, Alexa silently looked at him a few times. Terrence said, "Someone is about to burst intoughter.¡± Not only the nickname, but Terrence''s mobile phone was full of her marks. The photo album was almost full of her photos. "Mr. Ramsey, is this also a kind of romance?" "More than that.¡± Terrence held her and said, "We will also have a wonderful life.¡± "It''s a deal.¡± They went back to New York after lunch. Alexa was weak and went back after getting off the ne. She didn''t expect to hear that Keyon and Giselle had broken up just as she arrived home. Alexa was stunned. Rebekah was worried about Alexa¡¯s health, so she never told her.But this was a big deal, and it was impossible to hide it from Alexa. "Isn''t Giselle about to give birth?" What''s more, Giselle and Keyon had already registered their marriage, and their rtionship had always been good. "It''s because of the child." Rebekah said calmly, "Irvin personally took Giselle away, and he also didn''t allow Keyon to meet them." "Why is Irvin interfering in this matter again?" ¡°After all, he is close with Jovan. Maybe he wants to use this matter to target Keyon." Rebekah was someone who had experienced a lot, so she was very clear about these intrigues. "People without children have no right to inheritance." Alexa was now in the Ramsey family, so those people definitely wouldn''t dare to make a move easily. "My brother never told me about this." Alexa frowned and quickly called Keyon. Keyon had just finished his meeting at thepany, and his tone seemed a little tired. Hearing Alexa ask about him and Giselle, Keyon''s mood did not seem to fluctuate. "We will divorce after the child is born.¡± He said lightly, "She mentioned it, and I agreed.¡± Alexa did not expect them to be so straightforward. "What about the child?" Keyon was silent for a long time. ¡°I''m going to smoke a cigarette.¡± He said in a low voice, "She probably doesn''t want me to see the child." Alexa was still in disbelief. After all, the rtionship between Keyon and Giselle had always been pretty good. However, Keyon probably felt sad right now, so Alexa didn''t ask any further. "Keyon, I heard that you have been in thepany recently?" "Yes, there are a lot of things.¡± "If you are tired, just go home.¡± Alexa said very gently, ¡°It just so happens that mom and Henry are back. Shall we have dinner together tonight?" "Okay." Keyon answered very readily. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. He didn''t stay in thepany tonight and went home after work. Henry personally cooked, and Christina helped him from the side. Seeing Keyon, Christina did not mention Giselle. "Ah! Keyon is here! Dinner is ready soon." She greeted him. Keyon had already rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the kitchen. ¡°I''ll help." "No. Go and have a rest." Christina hurriedly pushed him away. "Go find Alexa and Terrence to chat. Damarion is also here. That little fellow misses you." When Damarion was mentioned, Keyon''s expression changed slightly. Alexa and Terrence were ying in the courtyard with Damarion. When Keyon saw Damarion, his face immediately changed into an amiable smile. ¡°Damarion!" He crouched down and waited for the little fellow to pounce on him, but Damarion hid in Terrence''s direction. ¡°Damarion." Alexa remembered, ¡°It''s uncle." Damarion looked at her and then at Keyon, always holding Terrence''s clothes and refusing to leave. Keyon chuckled and then got up. "He hasn''t seen me for a long time. He is shy." Keyon nodded at Terrence as a greeting. "Have you been well recently?¡± Keyon looked at Alexa. "It''s pretty good." Alexa discovered that hisplexion wasn''t too good. ¡°Keyon, how about you? Have you been resting well recently?" Alexa knew that there were many things in thepany. But Keyon was worried that her body wouldn''t be able to take it, so he took the initiative to take on more matters. "It''s fine, just asionally staying upte.¡± "You also have to pay attention to your health.¡± Alexa warned, not knowing if Keyon had heard it or not. In the evening, there was a cool breeze. She first took Damarion into the house to add clothes. Terrence knew that Keyon had something to talk to him about, so he did not follow them. "You took good care of Alexa." Keyon said, ¡°At first, I don''t trust you." There was no emotion in Terrence''s eyes. "She is my wife. It is my duty to treat her well.¡± Keyon''s eyes were covered with ayer of gloom. "If you still have feelings for Giselle, fight for it yourself." ¡°I know." Keyon hastily ended this topic. He felt upset again. He wanted to bite the cigarette butt, but seeing Alexa and Damarion go downstairs, he immediately gave up the idea of smoking. This meal was enjoyable. It was just that Keyon didn''t like to talk. Most of the time, he was listening to them chat. Damarion deliberately put down the spoon. He asked, "Why is uncle unhappy?" Suddenly, the lively atmosphere instantly froze. The people at the table all looked at Keyon at the same time. Damarion''s eyes were full of worry. ¡°Damarion, I am not unhappy." Keyon squeezed out a smile, wanting Damarion to be at ease. But his heart felt very sad. After the meal, Keyon nned to return to thepany. "Don''t be busy with work tonight.¡± Christina stopped him. "No matter how busy your career is, it is not as important as your family." Keyon understood what she meant. "Find a chance to see Giselle. You are the only one who can resolve the matter between the two of you." "Mom, I know." ¡°I''m afraid you don''t understand.¡± Christina''s tone became much gentler. "Keyon, you have to listen to your heart." "Mom, thank you. My car is at the door." Keyon said and left. He didn''t go to work but drove to his and Giselle''s wedding house. This vi had not been renovated. After their child was born, he nned to hold a wedding and move in. However, everything was meaningless. Keyon walked to the door, but in the end, he still didn''t go in. He called Giselle. She answered the phone but still did not take the initiative to speak. Keyon asked, ¡°Have you eaten?" Giselle did not reply. He did not rush her and kept on talking. ¡°The weather has been cold recently. Remember to put on more clothes." "Is the baby okay? The day after tomorrow is the pregnancy test again. Should I take a leave and go with you?" In the end, he really couldn''t bear it anymore. ¡°Giselle, can you talk to me?¡± Chapter 431 Chapter 431 Chapter 431 Only I Will Not Hurt Her After a brief silence, Giselle started to talk. "I told you that we shouldn''t contact each other anymore." "What exactly happened to you?" Keyon asked humbly but with a twinge of anger. "Irvin took you away that day without any reason. Can anyone exin this to me?" "I told you I was sorry," Giselle replied. She felt helpless and turned irritated as soon as she started to talk. Keyon stopped talking about the topic in order not to stir up Giselle¡¯s emotions. However, Giselle cried even harder. "You are still pregnant now. Calm down, please!" Keyonforted. "I don''t think you love me so much,¡± Giselle cried out. She choked with tears and hung up the phone abruptly, giving Keyon no chance to exin. Keyon thought that he would have a smooth talk with Giselle, but it was a pity that their conversation ended so rashly. "Not love her so much...¡± he murmured. Keyon shook his head in frustration. He had no idea where Giselle was.N?velDrama.Org ? 2024. Irvin was full of hostility to the Duran family and stopped Giselle from getting in touch with them anymore. Alexa went to thepany the next day.She had quite a reputation in the Duran Group, and because of Terrence, basically, no shareholders dared to stir up trouble for her. Keyon didn''te to thepany that day, but many women came to the front desk to look for him. The secretary refused for all. "Who are they?" asked Alexa. "Ms. Duran,¡± the secretary replied very tactfully, ¡°they told me that they have some personal rtionship with Mr. Duran, but Mr. Duran had never mentioned them before." Of course, the secretary knew that Keyon got married. These women came to the Duran Group so frequently that it was inevitable to have some rumors about it. Alexa got confused but didn''t ask for more information. In her mind, Keyon couldn''t be such a mean person. As Alexa called Keyon, Thalia came over. "Hi, Alexa!¡± Thalia greeted. She was surprised to see Alexa there. "Is Keyon at thepany? I am delivering a document for Dr. McMin," said Thalia. "No," replied Alexa. She shook her head with a bit of worry in her eyes. "I don''t know where he is either. I can''t contact him,¡± said Alexa. "He might be quite busy recently, right?" Thalia said casually. "I already know something about Giselle.¡± "It''s hard to say what happened to their rtionship," she added. "Giselle has been affected by a very serious emotional disorder. She was treated at the psychological center, and Finley rmended the doctors for her," continued Thalia. "Huh?" asked Alexa. She was shocked. Then Thalia realized that Alexa knew nothing about it. "So you don''t know?" Thalia said in full detail. ¡°Giselle has been suffering from this psychological problem for several years. Simply speaking, she has dreadful emotional dependence. If someone is too good to her, it will make her more suspicious and Anxious." "Keyon never mentioned this to me," said Alexa. "Keyon arranged several doctors to treat Giselle, and her condition had greatly improved. I didn''t expect that she left Keyon afterward," Thalia said. "It''s due to Irvin," Alexa responded affirmatively. For sure, it had something to do with Irvin. Both Irvin and Giselle had strange personalities. Alexa and Thalia did not stay in the Duran Group for long. Alexa had an appointment for a pregnancy checkup, and Thalia nned to go with her. Terrence was busy, so Alexa didn''t ask him toe with her. She would have the checkup in the most high-end and professional maternity hospital in New York. for Alexa. Thalia followed her and looked around curiously. "It''s really troublesome to raise a child," Thalia sighed. "The pregnancy willst for ten months. How hard it is!" ¡°Actually, it''s okay,¡± said Alexa. She shed a smile as she caressed her abdomen. "I don''t feel exhausted since I was pregnant," she said in a tender voice. "It might be a baby girl," said Thalia confidently. "Someone said that if a would-be mother feels rxed and has less suffering, it is most likely that she will give birth to a baby girl.¡± "Really?" doubted Alexa. Thalia did not notice that Alexa looked at her with great concern. "You are an expert in this aspect. Something going on with you and Dr. McMin, right?" asked Alexa. "What? No, nothing..." Thalia stammered, pretending to be confused. "Are you sure?¡± suspected Alexa. Thalia blushed and lowered her eyes. Seeing this, Alexa was sure about her judgment. "So, you''re preparing for pregnancy now?" asked Alexa. "It won''t be that fast," Thalia said shyly. ¡°I''d like to get married first, but Finley is not well prepared yet." Thalia didn''t take this seriously. "Finley pays more attention to the sense of etiquette. I understand him,¡± Thalia added. "I wish you two happiness.¡± Alexa patted Thalia''s hand. As they chatted happily, Thalia suddenly saw a person standing opposite the corridor. "Is that Giselle?" Thalia asked in a low voice. Alexa looked at the person and recognized that it was Giselle. However, Giselle did note alone, and Irvin came with her. "Shall we talk to her?" asked Thalia. Alexa signaled to Thalia with a look, and then they walked toward Giselle. Irvin sensed the steps behind him and saw Alexa. He did not ask anyone to stop them. "Hello, Ms. Duran. What a coincidence!" he said with a fake smile. Then, Irvin gazed at Alexa''s swollen belly. His eyes darkened. But Alexa ignored him and looked at Giselle. "Shall we talk?¡± Alexa said sincerely. "Don''t worry, it is only between us." Giselle lowered her eyes bitterly and shied away. "Don''t be afraid,¡± Irvinforted. He talked to Giselle in a very soft voice. Thalia couldn''t stand it anymore. "You''re not her husband. It is none of your business," said Thalia. Irvin sneered disdainfully and did not reply to her. "Did you arrange for those women to bother my brother in thepany?" asked Alexa. She was very straightforward. Irvin had no expression on his face. Instead, he urged Giselle to go to the examination room first. "Keyon has an inferior personality, and he makes Giselle disappointed,¡± replied Irvin. "Are you serious?¡± Alexa didn''t want to make any concessions. "You regard Giselle as your sister, why don''t you help her live a good life?" ¡°Because she couldn''t live a good life without me!" replied Irvin. Irvin looked a little bit hysterical, and Thalia quickly blocked him in front of Alexa. "None of the men outside are good. I will never let my sister take this risk,¡± Irvin shouted. "Is this how you control her mentally?¡± Thalia said with a slightugh. "Such moral kidnapping is really disgusting." "You idiots! Only I will not hurt her," Irvin talked back. Giselle was his weak point, so he would never tolerate the slightest provocation concerning Giselle. Just when Alexa thought that she couldn''t talk with Giselle today, a figure suddenly rushed over, grabbed Irvin by the cor, and punched him hard. ¡°Irvin, I''ve had enough of you for a long time!" said Keyon. Irvin was not scared at all but fought with Keyon instantly. It was in chaos. Chapter 432 Chapter 432 Chapter 432 We Can Divorce as You Wish They tangled together and refused to let each other go. Finally, the bodyguard pulled them away with great difficulty. Alexa quickly went over and pulled Keyon so that they would not fight again. With Alexa by his side, Keyon naturally did not act out of line again. However, Giselle happened to see the scene just now, and she waspletely frightened. At this moment, she was standing next to Irvin, quietly sizing up Keyon with tears in her eyes. "Well, don''t make a scene here.¡± Alexa had a headache while speaking. She let Keyon deal with the injury on his hand first. Irvin also got injured. His face was swollen and even bleeding, which made him more pathetic. "Aren''t youing with me?" Keyon still asked with a trace of hope. Giselle didn''t dare to look at Keyon''s eyes. "You hurt my brother like this. How can I still go with you?" "He deserved it." Keyon was full of anger when he mentioned Irvin. Keyon was originally in a good rtionship with Giselle. If Irvin hadn''te to stir up trouble, things wouldn''t havee to this point. "Keyon, you used my sister just for the Duran family''s property.¡± Irvin sneered confidently. "Do you think I don''t know what you are thinking?" As an older brother, Irvin had been protecting Giselle at an early age. How could he let Giselle suffer? "Moreover, you don''t really like my sister." The more Irvin said, the uglier Giselle¡¯s expression became. Keyon was so angry that he was speechless. He just stared at Giselle. Giselle finally made up her mind and said without confidence. "I said we should not meet again, or I will abort the child." ¡®What did you say?" Keyon asked in astonishment, his face full of disbelief. Alexa was also stunned for a moment when he heard Giselle''s words. After all, Giselle had been expecting this child for a long time, and now she became so heartless because of a few words from Irvin. "How about you both calm down before the talk?" Alexa felt that if this went on, maybe they would start a fight again.She gave Keyon a look and advised him to leave first. However, Keyon stared at Giselle for a while, and the unwillingness in his eyes gradually became desperation. "If you insist on making a fuss, then I will do as you wish," Keyon said coldly, "Bring the marriage certificate with you tomorrow. Well go get a divorce." "I tore the marriage certificate long ago." Giselle''s words were surprisingly hurtful. Alexa clearly sensed that Keyon''s vibes had be very strange. However, in order to prevent any more conflict between Keyon and Irvin, Alexa personally took Keyon away. When they arrived at the medical room to treat Keyon''s wounds, Keyon''s face became iparably cold. "It''s useless to argue with Irvin," Alexa said resignedly, "You have to talk to Giselle about this matter." "She wants to abort the child. What else do I have to talk about?" Keyon mocked himself. "She wants freedom. I''ll give it to her.¡± Alexa knew that Keyon was definitely angry right now, so she did not say much. Not long after, Terrence heard the news and came over. "Did you get injured?" The first thing Terrence asked was about Alexa. "I''m fine.¡± Alexa shook her head, but Thalia was still a little scared. "Irvin is too crazy." Thalia did not have a good impression of Irvin. "Not only does he have a strong desire to control his sister, but he also has a lot of hostility towards others." Terrence didn''t like Irvin from the beginning, and now he was not very satisfied with Keyon. Fortunately, Alexa was fine, and the anger in Terrence''s heart was slightly suppressed. Keyon was in a bad mood, so he didn''t say anything and left after his injury was treated. Alexa was worried, so she called Keyon''s secretary and let the secretary take care of Keyon. Finley just happened toe over from work and pick up Thalia. Thalia kept talking with Finley about what had just happened. Finley, on the other hand, appeared very calm as he reserved a table in a restaurant. "I''ve already booked a table in the restaurant you wanted to go tost night." "Did you hear me just now?" Thalia muttered in dissatisfaction. "Yes," Finley answered honestly, "You''re talking about the child." Thalia had thought that Finley would mention Keyon and Irvin, but she didn''t expect that he would talk about the child. Thalia blushed, and she suddenly felt a little embarrassed. "Then, what do you think?" Finley concentrated on driving as if he had already thought of this question. "I respect your decision.¡± But you know my physical condition. It may be a little difficult to have a child." When Thalia said this, she was obviously a littlecking in confidence. In addition to that, she also wanted to sound out Finley''s intention. In fact, she cared a lot about Finley''s attitude. Thalia had always thought that Finley was a traditional man, so he would probably value the child very much. "From a medical point of view, gestation is indeed very harmful to your body, and it is also very dangerous." "I care more about what you thought,¡± Thalia said casually. "I am a doctor. My thoughts will inevitably be affected by medical knowledge." Thalia always felt that Finley was deliberately being so euphemistic. This meant that he was obviously not expecting her to have a child. "You don''t have to care about my feelings.¡± Thalia pretended to be rxed with a smile. ¡°Il know my physical condition well. I''m not that weak.¡± "Did my answer hurt you? Sorry." Finley looked at her worriedly, then exined. "I just don''t want you to take the risk or feel burdened by it.¡± "You... Haven''t you thought of having a child with me?" Thalia clenched her sleeves, not even daring to look at Finley. "Because of my family, I have never received love from my parents, so ... I don¡¯t care too much about these things.¡± More importantly, Finley felt that he was not good at being a father. This topic was too heavy. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. Thalia was so sorry for Finley that she quickly changed the topic. After lunch, Thalia went to find Alexa. They had an appointment for afternoon tea, but when Thalia arrived, Sasha was also there. In addition, there was another woman that Thalia did not know. That woman was tall and had the same temperament as Alexa. They were both cold and elegant. The woman stood there quietly, and her aura was so strong that it could not be ignored. "This is Marin, my friend.¡± Alexa introduced familiarly. "This is Thalia." Marin greeted Thalia with a friendly attitude. However, Sasha didn''t seem to be in a good mood and always remained silent with a cold face. However, Sasha was the one that asked Alexa to invite them today. They sat down at the table. Alexa didn''t really know how to y cards. She just sat there for fun. "Why did youe to New York?" Alexa asked casually. ¡°Isn''t your fianc¨¦ in Seattle?" "Zeke has returned to New York." Sasha replied honestly, not hiding anything. "As for Harrison, I broke up with him." Alexa paused. "I''m just dating Zeke for fun. I won''t be a threat to you." "Of course, I won''t interfere with your life." Alexa smiled politely. ¡°I have no objections if you are willing to date him for fun.¡± "He''s really quite stupid. He didn''t know how to stop at the right time." Although Sasha''s tone was very casual, there was a hint of viciousness in it. If he made extravagant ims again, I''ll personally teach him a lesson." Chapter 433 Chapter 433 Chapter 433 Don¡¯t Think About Getting Married Hearing that, Thalia was shocked. With Sasha¡¯s wealth and status, she could have any kind of man, but she had to spend all her time on trash like Zeke. Marin heard it and said with a smile. ¡°Younger men have their merits.¡± Alexa gave her a meaningful look and did not say anything. After ying a few rounds of cards, Sasha agreed to cooperate with the Duran Group. Alexa walked her to the door. Sasha suddenly asked. ¡°How many months have you been pregnant?¡± ¡°It¡¯s been almost six months.¡± ¡°I see.¡± A hint of envy inadvertently touched Sasha¡¯s eyes. ¡°I do want to have a baby, but unfortunately, the men I¡¯ve met are all unreliable.¡± ¡°One has to be careful when ites to having children.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Sasha replied indifferently, ¡°I don¡¯t want to look for trouble.¡± After Zeke returned to New York, he had been dating all kinds of women non-stop. Alexa knew about it, but Zeke was not out of line, so she let him be. On the other hand, Isobel was pissed off. She spent a lot of effort to find Zeke¡¯s residence. Last night, a model spent the night here. When Isobel brought her men in, the woman was making out with Zeke in his arms. ¡°Zeke.¡± Isobel called out to him coldly and felt mad. When the model noticed Isobel, shezily got up and called out, ¡°Hello.¡± Isobel¡¯s face was livid with rage. Isobel immediately told her to scram. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± Zeke frowned in displeasure, not in the mood to talk to Isobel. ¡°Where have you been fooling around these days?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you? I was busy looking into Alexa, in case she does anything shady behind my back.¡± ¡°Liar!¡± ¡°Why are you yelling? If you don¡¯t believe me, check it yourself.¡± Zeke got up impatiently and walked upstairs. Isobel walked over and pulled him. ¡°I am your mother. Can¡¯t I control you?¡± ¡°I will do what I promised you. You don¡¯t have to be so possessive.¡± Zeke was really annoyed by her. Isobel was intimidated by his cold and ruthless gaze.He tugged his loose shirt, and Isobel noticed the tattoo on Zeke¡¯s waist immediately. ¡°Who is Alexa?¡± Isobel instantly became alert.It was a woman¡¯s name. ¡°No one.¡± Zeke buttoned up his clothes and walked straight upstairs. ¡°You can fool around, but without my permission, you are not allowed to get married.¡± In Isobel¡¯s eyes, only rich nobledies were good enough for Zeke. Other kinds of women would only be a burden. ¡°It¡¯s none of your business.¡± Zeke snapped back and mmed the door shut. Isobel felt uneasy and quickly called Toby. ¡°Your son is dating some woman in secret.¡± ¡°He¡¯s already in his twenties, and it¡¯s time for him to be in a rtionship.¡± ¡°No! He might be cheated by those stupid women.¡± Isobel was aggressive, and Toby couldn¡¯t beat her in a fight. ¡°You must get to the bottom of this quickly. Deal with it!¡± After giving the order, Isobel began to look for a marriage partner for her son. Knowing Isobel wanted to marry off her son in the name of the Duran family, Alexa found it ridiculous. ¡°What a low move to manipte me and my brother at this time.¡± Noticing Alexa was upset, Terrence immediately expressed his position. ¡°Zeke is not husband material.¡± As long as Alexa wanted to make things difficult for them, Terrence could make sure no one would dare to get involved with Zeke. ¡°Forget it.¡± Alexa didn¡¯t care about them. ¡°They are just clowns.¡± Moreover, Sasha was also in the game. Sasha was crazy, and Isobel probably couldn¡¯t deal with her. Alexa finished eating the snacks on the table and looked up at Terrence. He could still work with Damarion in his arms, but Damarion was hyperactive and messed up Terrence¡¯s suit. ¡°We should go back as well.¡± As soon as Alexa spoke, Terrence stopped what he was doing. ¡°You¡¯re leaving so soon?¡± He held Damarion and refused to let go. ¡°Didn¡¯t you just arrive?¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been here for the whole morning.¡± Terrence was always busy. The door to the president¡¯s office had been closed for a long time, and no one else came in. Obviously, Terrence pushed aside his work to make Alexa feelfortable. ¡°I¡¯m here to check on you. Your employees are probably under a lot of pressure. They don¡¯t even dare toe to you to report their work.¡± Alexa teased him, but Terrence replied honestly. ¡°Wouldn¡¯t a man be happy to have a wife to check on him?¡± ¡°Everyone will think you are hen-pecked, Mr. Ramsey.¡± ¡°It¡¯s true.¡± Terrence smiled, ¡°They all know I have a family, and my wife is strict with me.¡± Alexa stared at him charmingly. ¡°Does everyone think I am mean?¡± She teased, ¡°Then can I change their opinions of me?¡± ¡°No one feels you are mean.¡± Terrence looked at her gently. ¡°She is great and deserves everyone¡¯s admiration, but only I can have her.¡± R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only Alexa felt sweet and knew Terrence was teasing her. After all, she was clear about Terrence¡¯s style. In front of others, he would never be so easy to talk to. And women didn¡¯t dare to approach him. ¡°I havepleted my work in advance,¡± Terrence said. ¡°Let¡¯s have dinner together.¡± Alexa found a newly opened restaurant and saw Sasha as soon as they entered. Sasha was actually with Zeke. Sasha and Zeke were talking andughing. They seemed to have patched things up. Zeke carried several shopping bags and followed Sasha. They seemed pretty tight. Terrence ignored them, and Alexa nodded at Sasha. ¡°Alexa. Terrence.¡± Zeke called them unctuously but was ignored. Their indifference did not affect Zeke. Zeke took Sasha away. ¡°He still dares to have a high profile in New York?¡± Alexa said and found Terrence looking indifferent. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± She quickly ced her focus on him. ¡°Why are you looking at him?¡± Terrence was full of hostility towards Zeke. ¡°He is a jerk.¡± Alexa could not help but chuckle. Noticing Terrence still looked annoyed, she stopped smiling. ¡°Are you jealous again?¡± ¡°Why should I be jealous of him?¡± Terrence lied arrogantly. Alexa asked with interest. ¡°Right, why would you be jealous of him?¡± Terrence didn¡¯t say anything and finally admitted defeat. He held Damarion with one arm and held Alexa¡¯s hand with his other hand. As soon as Zeke left the restaurant with Sasha, his face immediately turned sour. ¡°What? Are you unhappy with me?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not because of you.¡± ¡°Oh, then who is it about?¡± Zeke gave enough clues, but Sasha still acted like she didn¡¯t understand. He was a little annoyed. ¡°You know I don¡¯t get along well with Alexa. I have followed you for so long, but you still haven¡¯t helped me vent my anger.¡± Are you telling me what to do?¡± Sasha¡¯s face turned cold. Chapter 434 Chapter 434 Chapter 434 No One Can Rece Me ¡°No, I am not. Don¡¯t be angry, okay?¡± Zeke was good at reading her emotions. Noticing Sasha was mad, he immediately admitted defeat. Zeke ruined her mood. ¡°Alright, you don¡¯t have to follow me this afternoon.¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t we going shopping? You don¡¯t want to do it anymore?¡± It wasn¡¯t easy for Zeke to seize this chance to win Sasha back. He didn¡¯t want to let go easily. ¡°Not interested.¡± ¡°How did I piss you off?¡± Sasha was silent for a moment and suddenly looked at him seriously. ¡°I feel your attitude toward me has changed.¡± ¡°What was it like?¡± Zeke said casually, ¡°Do you want me to cater to your every need? But I really want to be with you, so we should respect each other.¡± ¡°Am I not respecting you enough?¡± There was no emotion in Sasha¡¯s eyes. ¡°I didn¡¯t bother the women you hooked up with before.¡± ¡°I wasn¡¯t serious about them. Does a woman like you need to waste your time with them?¡± Zeke did not take it to heart. ¡°Zeke, stop ying tricks on me.¡± Sasha wouldn¡¯t buckle. ¡°I am a little interested in you, so I am willing to spend some money on you.¡± Sasha said aggressively, ¡°But if you dare to use me, I will deal with you first.¡± ¡°Why are you talking about this?¡± Zeke knew he was in the wrong, but he had to protect his ridiculous self- esteem. ¡°We agreed to go shopping today. Is there a need to quarrel?¡± Sasha also felt it quite boring, so she did not say anything. However, ever since she questioned Zeke¡¯s attitude, she had doubts. She was not influential enough in New York. ¡°Your mother is also in New York?¡± ¡°You won¡¯t see her.¡± Zeke imagined the two women meeting and instantly felt a headache. ¡°I don¡¯t intend to see her,¡± Sasha said indifferently. Sasha bought a vi in New York, and Zeke was living there. That night, Sasha received an invitation to Alexa¡¯s birthday party. ¡°Terrence cares about Alexa. He has prepared such a big show for her.¡± Zeke sat next to Sasha and heard her words. Sasha casually ced her legs on hisp. ¡°What about you? Did you celebrate my birthday properly?¡± ¡°Doesn¡¯tst time count?¡± Zeke asked, ¡°I even went to the birthday party with you, although it was quite unpleasant that time.¡± ¡°Then why are you mentioning it?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t get mad easily. It can make you age faster.¡± ¡°Are you finding fault with me already?¡± ¡°No. Don¡¯t overthink it.¡± Zeke was in a bad mood. He said a few words and went back to his room. Sasha said she didn¡¯t want to let him have his way, but she transferred 32 thousand dors to him. She even told Alexa that she nned to take Zeke to attend the birthday party. ¡°His mother wille too. You don¡¯t mind?¡± Alexa casually asked. ¡°Why should I mind? Moreover, her son has caused me so much trouble. It¡¯s only right for her to thank me in person.¡± Sasha did not take Isobel seriously. Alexa was not interested in interfering with their business. Besides, there would be many important guests present at the birthday party, so they would not fall out there. After talking with Sasha, Alexa had an invitation sent to Marin. ¡°Thank you for your invitation, Ms. Duran. I will be there on time.¡± Alexa was curious about Marin¡¯s whereabouts in New York. ¡°I am drinking coffee.¡± Alexa looked at the time. ¡°Bounty detectives like to drink coffee in the middle of the night? Can you fall asleep?¡± ¡°I can. On the contrary, I can¡¯t sleep without this cup of coffee,¡± Marin said yfully. ¡°Did you go to see your puppy?¡± R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only Alexa felt the title was quite cute. After gossiping with Marin, she hung up the phone. Unexpectedly, Terrence came out of the bathroom and heard it. He quietly approached Alexa and asked curiously. ¡°What puppy?¡± No reply came. Alexa pursed her lips and did not know how to answer him for a moment. ¡°A friend¡¯s puppy.¡± Noticing Terrence was lost in thought, Alexa felt he might not understand what it meant. ¡°Do you like puppies?¡± He said, ¡°Then should we also have one?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant.¡± Alexa smiled, ¡°Why are you so cute?¡± Terrence¡¯s ears were red. ¡°My friend is in love and calls her boyfriend ¡®puppy¡¯.¡± Terrence nodded. Alexa thought this matter was over. Unexpectedly, he added. ¡°What about you? Will you treat me as your puppy?¡± Alexa bit her lips, and her eyes became a little flirtatious. ¡°What puppy?¡± She held Terrence¡¯s face and asked, ¡°Do you think you are a puppy?¡± ¡°No.¡± Terrence shook his head and thought for a moment. ¡°No one can rece me in your heart, right?¡± His eyes were too affectionate. Alexa¡¯s heart skipped a beat. ¡°Yes. Yes.¡± She nodded, and Terrence cheered up instantly. Alexa felt if he had had a tail, he would definitely have been wagging it happily now. He was like a puppy. She murmured and got into the quilt, holding Terrence tightly. At this time, Marin finished her coffee. She tapped the table lightly, but there was still no response from the message sent three hours ago. Just when she thought tonight would end, a person suddenly broke in. He was clearly in a hurry, and his cor was a little messy. Marin sat in the same ce with a smile in her eyes. ¡°I thought you wouldn¡¯te.¡± Her voice was melodious, but Edwin said seriously. ¡°Sorry, I was busy with work and didn¡¯t have time to reply to your message. Why are you in New York?¡± ¡°Why do you think I came?¡± Marin tilted her head, her smile growing. Noticing Edwin was a little nervous, Marin replied. ¡°I heard this cafe had great coffee, so I rushed over to try it. What other reason do you think it is?¡± ¡°I see.¡± Edwin smiled and nodded, not daring to look her in the eye. ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. I should go.¡± Marin smiled politely, packed up her things, and left. Edwin followed her almost instinctively. ¡°You might not know New York well. It¡¯s quitete now. Should I drive you back?¡± ¡°I¡¯m staying in a hotel. Aren¡¯t you afraid your girlfriend will suspect us?¡± ¡°Well¡­ I¡­ I don¡¯t have a girlfriend. Don¡¯t worry,¡± Edwin said honestly. ¡°No girlfriend?¡± Marin asked knowingly and nodded. Edwin walked side by side with her and even stayed a little farther away from her. The two were silent for a moment, and Marin waited for him to speak first. ¡°Do you like the ne I gave you?¡± ¡°Yes, but I haven¡¯t been to any events where I need to wear it.¡± A glimmer of hope shed through Edwin¡¯s eyes. After getting into the car, they were instantly closer to each other. Edwin was obviously nervous, so he kept driving seriously and did not dare to speak. Finally, Marin asked. ¡°Do you have something to say to me?¡¯ Chapter 435 Chapter 435 Chapter 435 Can¡¯t Have You Go to Someone Else Edwin did not even dare to look Marin in the eye, afraid of being seen through. ¡°Yes, indeed.¡± N?velDrama.Org owns all content. He nodded and paid attention to the road ahead. ¡°There will be a party tomorrow night. If you have time, I would like to invite you as my plus-one.¡± ¡°I see¡­¡± Marin drawled with interest, but she did not immediately agree. Edwin became disheartened. ¡°If it¡¯s inconvenient for you, it¡¯s fine. I can look for someone else,¡± he said honestly. ¡°Do you think I will let you do that?¡± She replied in a slightly yful manner. When Edwin reacted, his face turned red. ¡°So, you mean you agreed to my request?¡± ¡°I only promised to be your plus-one for tomorrow night, but I didn¡¯t promise you anything Else.¡± Marin¡¯s words had an undertone. But Edwin was immersed in the joy of her first sentence and didn¡¯t think about the other. Marin smiled but did not say anything. She quite liked his reaction. Edwin parked the car outside the hotel and went to the passenger seat to open the door for her. But Marin seemed to have no intention of getting out of the car at all. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is there anything else?¡± he asked seriously. ¡°When are you going to hold my hand?¡± Marin asked him with a smile. Edwin instantly blushed and froze in ce. ¡°Wh¡­ what?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t we agree I would be your plus-one tomorrow? You should at least practice it, right?¡± Marin asked. ¡°You don¡¯t have to be so nervous. I believe you can do it well.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Marin leaned closer to him with interest. ¡°It seems you are the one who is nervous.¡± Edwin did not dare to look at her at all. Marin did not want to tease him anymore. She got out of the car on her own and walked to the hotel. Unexpectedly, her right hand was grabbed by someone. ¡°Cough, cough¡­¡± Edwin pulled his cor. ¡°I¡¯ll walk you up and practice.¡± The next day, Alexa¡¯s birthday party was held. Many big shots in the circle were present, and the venue was lively. Although it was a birthday party, it was actually a vanity fair. Alexa had a big baby bump and couldn¡¯t hide it. Terrence stayed by her side all the time, and when the others saw it, they did not go forward to disturb her. ¡°You should entertain the guests.¡± Alexa tapped Terrence¡¯s palm. ¡°I think many people want to see you.¡± ¡°They want to see you.¡± Terrence said, ¡°But with me by your side, they don¡¯t dare toe forward.¡± Alexa smiled and fed him a strawberry. They were whispering to each other when Alexa suddenly caught a glimpse of Edwin. And the woman beside Edwin was Marin. They looked at each other through the crowd. Marin blinked at Alexa charmingly. ¡°Ridiculous.¡± Alexa gasped andined in a low voice. Terrence asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Alexa replied with good grace, raising her ss to Marin meaningfully. Marin and Edwin looked like a young couple who had just fallen in love. Sasha also noticed Marin and Edwin. ¡°That¡¯s Alexa¡¯s friend.¡± Sashamented indifferently, ¡°She¡¯s quite good looking. She actually got into a rtionship with Edwin.¡± Zeke followed her gaze and felt that the woman looked a little familiar. ¡°Do you know her?¡± ¡°I yed cards with her once.¡± ¡°What¡¯s her name?¡± Sasha frowned, clearly unhappy. ¡°Are you interested in her? It¡¯s a pity that you don¡¯t have a chance now. She has a boyfriend,¡± Sasha said sarcastically. The malice in Zeke¡¯s eyes deepened, and he still stared at Marin. Sasha tugged at him several times, but he did not respond. ¡°Do you have to make trouble with me on this asion?¡± Sasha lost her temper, and Zeke frowned, obviously annoyed with her. ¡°I just think she looks familiar, and I don¡¯t mean anything else. Don¡¯t make trouble.¡± ¡°Familiar?¡± Sasha snorted coldly and rolled her eyes. ¡°Which woman do you not find familiar?¡± Sasha was about to re up when she suddenly saw a well-dressed middle- aged woman appear beside Alexa. Noticing that Zeke deliberately turned around, Sasha teased. ¡°Is that your mother?¡± ¡°What are you trying to do now?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not doing anything.¡± Sasha shrugged with a faint smile. ¡°Let¡¯s go over and say hello.¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡± Zeke pushed her hand away, and his tone became a bit hurried. ¡°I¡¯m going out for a smoke.¡± Seeing him leave in a hurry, Sasha felt quite disdainful. Zeke was not boyfriend material. At this moment, Marin left Edwin¡¯s side. When she came out of the toilet with more lipstick on, she was blocked by Zeke. Marin hid the sharpness in her eyes and smiled politely. ¡°Sir, please make way.¡± ¡°Miss, have we met somewhere before?¡± Zeke looked her up and down with ill intentions. ¡°You look simr to an old friend of mine.¡± He remembered clearly that the woman who had taken the lead in attacking him in the garage was quite simr to the woman in front of him. ¡°Is that so?¡± Marin smiled. ¡°I don¡¯t know you. I¡¯m sorry.¡± Zeke took two steps forward recklessly, his eyes icy. ¡°Can¡¯t we talk and get to know each other? Let¡¯s have a drink togetherter?¡± Marin was just thinking about whether to beat him up when someone suddenly pulled her over. ¡°She already has a boyfriend. I¡¯m sorry.¡± Edwin said coldly. Although he still looked refined, his hostility was intense. ¡°Are you her boyfriend?¡± Zeke asked frivolously, still unwilling to let Marin go. ¡°Can¡¯t you tell? I remember you. You came with Ms. Molina. Can you behave yourself?¡± Marin raised his eyebrows coldly. Realizing Edwin¡¯s hostility toward him was getting stronger, Zeke did not want to start a fight. Sasha called Zeke, and he took the opportunity to leave. As soon as Zeke left, Edwin released Marin. ¡°I¡¯m sorry. I was forced to do so. Are you okay?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Marin lifted the light hair on her temples and looked up at Edwin. ¡°Did you know my identity?¡± She was still smiling at Edwin, but there was no emotion in her eyes. ¡°What?¡± ¡°You are Mr. Ramsey¡¯s most capable assistant. It¡¯s easy for you to find a person¡¯s information. I knew you,¡± Marin said in a rxed tone. Edwin did not respond. ¡°But I only want to know one thing. Did you deliberately approach me because of my identity?¡± Silence ensued. ¡°I know your identity.¡± Edwin said slowly, ¡°But meeting you at that coffee shop was unexpected.¡± ¡°Are you still my puppy?¡± Marin waved her phone in front of him. Edwin saw he was named ¡°puppy¡± on her contact list. ¡°Do you hope so?¡± Chapter 436 Chapter 436 Chapter 436 Foolish in Love ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°You know the answer, Marin.¡± Edwin bowed slightly with a smile in his bright eyes. Marin had seen many men. But this was the first time that she blushed in front of a man younger than her. ¡°I don¡¯t know what you mean.¡± She smiled, pretending to be calm. Yet her mind was in chaos. ¡°I am your puppy, right? Then I¡¯ll treat you as my sister.¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid that I approached you for a reason?¡± ¡°What do you want to know from me?¡± ¡°Not only information. I want something from you.¡± Marin stretched out her index finger and drew a circle on his chest. ¡°I want your heart. Will you give it to me?¡± ¡°Sure.¡± ¡°Are you foolish in love?¡± Marin teased with a smile and then left. Edwin pursed his lips and followed Marin. At the corner, they heard a loud p. ¡°Bitch!¡± Isobel shouted grimly, ¡°If you dare to harm my son, I¡¯ll kill you!¡± ¡°Kill me?¡± Sasha sneered and then grabbed Zeke from beside her. ¡°I¡¯ve spent millions on you in the past few years. Are you dumb now?¡± Isobel pped Sasha with all her strength. Sasha¡¯s carefully styled hair was scattered, and her face was swollen. ¡°Alright, stop arguing. Let¡¯s forget about what happened just now.¡± Zeke said with a long face, looking very impatient. ¡°Zeke, your mother pped me for no reason, and you are telling me to forget about it?¡± ¡°Zeke,e here!¡± The argument gave Zeke a headache. Yet he knew how crazy these two women could be, so he must stop them at some point. ¡°Alright,¡± he said to Sasha slowly, ¡°She is my mother after all. Would you please give in this time? I¡¯ll apologize to you when we get back.¡± ¡°Back? Where are you going with her?¡± Isobel shrieked, ¡°You¡¯ve been fooling around with her all this time, haven¡¯t you?¡± With that, Isobel pounced on Sasha again. It was Alexa¡¯s birthday party tonight. Marin didn¡¯t want these two women to mess around here. ¡°Enough!¡± She shouted and separated the two of them together with Edwin. Seeing Marin, Zeke had a weird feeling. ¡°If you want to fight, do it somewhere else. Not here!¡± Marin wouldn¡¯t let them make a fuss. Isobel wanted to talk back, but when she saw Edwin, she stopped. ¡°Zeke, this isn¡¯t over!¡± Sasha could not bear it any longer and shouted, ¡°I am unlucky to meet you and your son.¡± Zeke stood motionlessly. Sasha got even angrier upon seeing Zeke¡¯s reaction. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. ¡°You weren¡¯t like this when you begged me to fight against the Duran Group with you!¡± ¡°What the hell are you talking about?¡± Zeke roared with a strange expression. Marin raised her eyebrows, calmly ying with the ring. ¡°What? You don¡¯t dare to admit it now?¡± Sasha got his handle. ¡°I recorded everything. Do you want to listen?¡± ¡°Sasha!¡± Zeke pped her angrily. Edwin immediately grabbed him. Zeke was swift. He even fought with Edwin¡­ The effect of the alcohol made him a madman. Even with Edwin stopping him, Zeke still managed to grab Sasha¡¯s hair. Edwin and Marin were already trying their best to control the situation, yet the news still spread to the hall. Alexa and Terrence came over with the guards and controlled Zeke. ¡°Don¡¯t hurt my son!¡± Isobel pounced toward Alexa. Terrence protected Alexa behind her and red at Isobel, which freaked thetter out. ¡°There are surveince cameras,¡± Marin said lightly. ¡°We can check what happened just now.¡± She looked at Isobel while saying this. It was like a p. ¡°Zeke, did you hit ady? Good job!¡± Alexa sneered. There were many big shots in the business world watching. Zeke didn¡¯t want to lose his reputation, so he apologized to Sasha on his knees. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Sasha. I was drunk. I lost my mind¡­¡± Sasha brushed her hair back and kicked him with a cold face. She mocked him, ¡°Funny! Stop pretending. See you in court.¡± Sasha¡¯s team delivered the medicine and new dresses in time. Just as she was about to leave, she turned around and pointed at Isobel. ¡°And you. Just wait,¡± Sasha said in a threatening tone. Sasha was not a pushover. She had been tolerant of Zeke, but no more after what happened. Zeke knelt on the ground. She felt disgusted just by looking at him. ¡°Bastard.¡± ¡°He is from the Duran family.¡± Keyon suddenly said, ¡°Before going through the legal procedures, the Duran family will give you an exnation, Ms. Molina.¡± ¡°Okay, I will wait.¡± Sasha left. Alexa nced at the mother and son and suddenly chuckled. ¡°I¡¯m afraid you are not qualified to fight against the Duran family.¡± ¡°I have recorded the whole process just now.¡± Marin smiled gracefully. Then she took off the ring from her hand and handed it to Alexa. ¡°As for how to use it, it depends on you, Ms. Duran.¡± Zeke looked up in astonishment. Seeing Keyon and Terrence staring at him with cold faces, he realized that this was a trap. ¡°Alexa, it¡¯s you.¡± ¡°What?¡± Alexa shrugged innocently. ¡°Do you still have any questions?¡± ¡°Sasha is your pawn!¡± ¡°You think too highly of me,¡± she smiled gently. ¡°Why would Ms. Molina work for me? I told you that you are too stupid.¡± From Zeke¡¯s eyes, she could see his hatred. He wanted to kill her. However, Alexa did not care about his opinion at all. ¡°I don¡¯t care about the rtionship between you and Ms. Molina, but what you have done to the Duran family will be punished ording to the family rules.¡± ¡°You want to expel my son from the Duran family? Alexa, what gives you the right to do so?¡± Isobel said with a ferocious expression. ¡°He is an illegitimate child. The familyw is already extremely merciful. Toby¡¯s wife doesn¡¯t know your existence, right?¡± Alexa tilted her head. Isobel never expected Alexa to know about these things. Marin watched the drama with great interest,pletely unaware that Edwin had been secretly watching her with love and appreciation. Alright, get lost.¡± Alexazily red at them. Chapter 437 Chapter 437 Chapter 437 The Father¡¯s Signature Is Required After Alexa dealt with Zeke, the dinner was close to the end. Alexa was a little tired, so Keyon sent her back first, leaving Terrence to clean up the venue. When Terrence returned home, the first thing he did was take off his coat stained with alcohol. Alexa had taken a shower. She was ying with Damarion on the sofa. ¡°Terrence?¡± Smiling, she lookedpletely different from what she looked like at the banquet. Terrence had no intention of asking about what had just happened. ¡°Yes, I¡¯m back.¡± He responded gently and then went upstairs. ¡°I just drank a ss of wine. I smell like alcohol now. I¡¯ll go take a shower first.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Alexa watched him go upstairs, feeling a little uneasy. It was time to sleep. She asked Yareli to bring Damarion back to his room to sleep, and then she went back to the master bedroom to wait for Terrence. When Terrence came out of the bathroom, Alexa went over and put her arms around his waist. Terrence instinctively held her when he felt her soft, fragrant body. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, my love?¡± he asked gently. ¡°Are you in a bad mood?¡± ¡°No,¡± Alexa whispered. ¡°But I feel like you¡¯re in a bad mood. Did I make you angry just now?¡± ¡°Just now?¡± Terrence smiled and kissed her on the forehead. ¡°I am not angry. On the contrary, I am very happy.¡± ¡°Happy?¡± ¡°Shouldn¡¯t I be happy seeing my wife so smart and brave?¡± ¡°Won¡¯t you feel deceived? After all, I have never told you about this before.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sure you keep it from me for a reason.¡± Terrence said slowly, ¡°And I have Edwin working for me. If I wanted to know, it won¡¯t be hard to find out.¡± ¡°So, you are the one who hides the deepest?¡± Alexa pretended to be angry and wanted to get out of his embrace, but Terrence¡¯s hug became even tighter. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, darling. I¡¯m just worried about your safety. As long as you don¡¯t get hurt, I won¡¯t interfere too much.¡± Alexa believed Terrence¡¯s words. Having been dealing with insidious people for so many years, he was sure to be more astute than her. ¡°Do you find my tricks childish?¡± ¡°They were meticulous. I¡¯ll call it perfect.¡± Terrence¡¯s praise made her a little embarrassed. ¡°Would you praise me whatever I do?¡± ¡°We¡¯ll see.¡± Terrence was surprisingly patient with her, and with just a few words, he made Alexa very happy. Alexa couldn¡¯t sleep well at night, and Terrence did not rest well either. He brought her water and massaged her. Alexa could not bear to trouble him. ¡°Go to bed early.¡± Alexa held her waist and sat on the bed, not sleepy. ¡°I¡¯m not tired.¡± Terrence continued to massage her. ¡°I¡¯ll go to the hospital tomorrow.¡± Alexa propped up her head and was a little tired. ¡°It can¡¯t just go on like this.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go with you.¡± Terrence had already invited a professional medical team for Alexa. When they went to the hospital the next day, they were immediately received. With Terrence taking care of everything, Alexa just needed to be checked. Unexpectedly, when she was sitting there, she came across Sasha. Sasha was not surprised to see Alexa here.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. ¡°Hi, Alexa.¡± Sasha greeted Alexa without any emotion. She didn¡¯t put on makeup today and didn¡¯t look very well. Sasha didn¡¯t say much to Alexa. She soon turned back to talk to her assistant. ¡°Has everything been arranged?¡± ¡°Yes, Ms. Molina.¡± The assistant nodded with some paper. ¡°The operating room is being arranged. The doctor will inform us when it¡¯s ready.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Sasha nodded and casually sat down beside Alexa. Seeing her pale face, Alexa asked. ¡°Are you okay?¡± ¡°Not bad.¡± Sasha waved her hand, not caring much. She kept pressing her lower abdomen. Alexa frowned slightly. ¡°Are you feeling unwell?¡± ¡°I identally got pregnant. I¡¯m here to get rid of the trouble,¡± Sasha said nonchntly. Alexa was shocked by her indifferent attitude. ¡°Zeke¡¯s child?¡± ¡°No. Don¡¯t mention him. I have nothing to do with him,¡± Sasha said in annoyance. Before Alexa could speak, another assistant rushed over. ¡°Ms. Molina, the father needs to sign for the surgery.¡± Hearing this, Sasha looked even worse. ¡°Shit!¡± She cursed unhappily. ¡°Let the doctor arrange it. I will bear the consequences myself.¡± The assistant stood in ce with an embarrassed expression and didn¡¯t move no matter how Sasha scolded her. When Alexa saw this, she said in a normal tone. ¡°Zeke is now receiving punishment at home. If you need it, I will ask my brother to bring him here.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Sasha¡¯s face was cold, and the anger in her heart instantly rose. ¡°I have to have an abortion today,¡± she sneered, ¡°I won¡¯t give birth to a bastard!¡± Alexa did not answer. At this time, Terrence returned with all the reports. The moment he saw Sasha, his eyes were clearly more guarded. ¡°Alexa.¡± Terrence called out and pulled Alexa over in front of Sasha. Seeing this, Sasha suddenly felt bitter. Alexa nced at Terrence, and the two exchanged looks, not saying anything. Sasha was inexplicably angry and turned to leave. Alexa didn¡¯t ask Keyon to contact Zeke in the end. When they left the hospital, Sasha was still standing in the garden. The assistant stayed far away from her and did not dare to disturb her. Sasha kept on calling, but no one answered. ¡°Go to the Duran family and get Zeke!¡± she said forcefully. Alexa had just arrived home when she heard that Sasha had taken people to the Duran¡¯s house. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Let her take Zeke away,¡± Alexa said calmly. When Isobel learned that Sasha brought people to cause trouble, she angrily brought people over. However, when Sasha was angry, she was ruthless. Before Isobel did anything, Sasha pped her. ¡°Yell again? And see what I¡¯ll do!¡± Sasha asked coldly. ¡°Sasha, you¡­¡± Isobel was mad. Sasha looked over, then her people dragged Isobel aside. ¡°Go and bring Zeke here.¡± ¡°Bitch, stay away from my son!¡± Sasha turned a deaf ear. She was getting impatient. Zeke had been punished by the familyst night and his back was full of whip marks. He could not even stand up. However, Sasha asked the bodyguards to drag him out directly. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Sasha nced at him from above, her eyes emotionless. ¡°Take him away.¡± ¡°Where are you taking me?¡± ¡°Where? To feed the wild dogs,¡± Sasha said, pursing her lips Chapter 438 Chapter 438 Chapter 438 She Is My Future Wife The whip wounds on Zeke¡¯s body were all caused by Keyon. Each wound revealed his battered flesh. Zeke was still wearing the clothes fromst night. After getting in the car, he couldn¡¯t help but groan in pain. Sasha ignored him and didn¡¯t even ask a single question. Zeke looked a bit pitiful. He asked weakly, ¡°What the hell are you doing?¡± Sasha was annoyed by his question and threw the stack of reports in his face. ¡°Look for yourself!¡± Zeke took a few nces. A whileter, he asked, ¡°You are pregnant?¡± His eyes were filled with joy. Although he and Sasha had a very unpleasant quarrel, Zeke was still expectant since it was his child. However, Sasha did not say anything. Instead, she pped him. ¡°Did you do this on purpose?¡± Sasha was trembling with fury, and her eyes were even filled with killing intent. ¡°I have always asked you to take measures, and I have been taking medicine all the time.¡± Zeke remained silent with a cold face. Sasha understood everything. ¡°Did you secretly change my medicine?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you in poor health? Can you bear the side effects of taking medicine for a long time?¡± Zeke said indifferently. ¡°Zeke, I will kill you!¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡± Zeke curled his lips, looking like he was taking good control of her. ¡°Don¡¯t you know your own body?¡± Sasha wanted to throttle him. Zeke had a good look but a bad character. ¡°Do you think you can threaten me with this child? Aren¡¯t you too naive? I came to you today just to get rid of this child,¡± Sasha sneered. ¡°Didn¡¯t you want a child before?¡± Zeke said calmly, ¡°Abortion is quite harmful to your body. You probably won¡¯t be able to get pregnant anymore.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Sasha wanted to p him again, but Zeke held her wrist and even kissed her on the back of her hand affectionately. ¡°Give birth to this child, okay? I will be responsible for you,¡± he said slowly. ¡°Zeke, you deserve to die!¡± Tears welled up in Sasha¡¯s eyes. What he said just now had touched the bottom of her heart. Sasha wanted a child even in her dreams, but she could never have imagined that she would be tricked by Zeke. She did not give Zeke a reply, but when the car stopped at the entrance of the hospital, Sasha asked the driver to drive away. A trace of sess shed through Zeke¡¯s eyes. ¡°Zeke, don¡¯t think that I havepromised with you.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t.¡± ¡°I will decide whether this child will stay or not. Even if I want to keep it, I will choose only the baby but not his father.¡± ¡°Why are you so cruel, Sasha?¡± Sasha was outraged at Zeke¡¯s teasing tone. ¡°What else? What do you think you are?¡± Sasha was angry and asked him to get out of the car. After arriving at thepany, Sasha hid in the office and cried. Then she called Alexa. ¡°Don¡¯t deal with Zeke for the time being, alright?¡± Although she was asking for help, Sasha¡¯s tone was still very arrogant. Alexa had already expected Sasha to have such an idea, so she agreed. ¡°Are you being soft-hearted?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not being soft-hearted. How dare he scheme against me? I will handle him in person,¡± Sasha said with a cold face. ¡°Alright, go ahead.¡± Sasha calmed down a little after she finished talking with Alexa. Sasha had been busy recently. The case with Jeremy was about to be held in court. Although Sasha was angry, she could not get rid of Zeke for the time being. She nned to simply ignore Zeke. However, just a few minutester, a bouquet of roses was sent to thepany front desk. Zeke¡¯s signature was corny and bold as if he was afraid that no one would not know the rtionship between him and Sasha. The assistant reported this to Sasha. Sasha said coldly, ¡°Throw it to the toilet.¡± Nevertheless, however disgusted Sasha felt, her coldness did not extinguish Zeke¡¯s enthusiasm at all. Every day, Zeke would send her all sorts of gifts, and rumors soon spread around thepany. When Sasha was pregnant, the people in Zeke¡¯s circle knew about it. ¡°Mr. Duran, are you going to marry that old woman? She¡¯s ten years older than you,¡± Joey Fowler, Zeke¡¯s follower, asked. Hearing this, the crowd began to jeer. When they were doneughing, Zeke poked Joey with the cue stick. ¡°What old woman? She is going to be my wife.¡± He said yfully, ¡°All of you, be more respectful.¡± R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only ¡°With your condition, you can find a wealthy socialite. How did you get involved with a divorced woman?¡± ¡°I think Mr. Duran is the one who knows how to y. That woman¡¯s figure looks so flirtatious.¡± The entire club was filled with dirty words. Zeke did not protect Sasha at all and evenughed with them. After a while, Zeke suddenly received a call from Sasha. After a few simple words, he left. In front of Sasha¡¯s vi, there were a few cardboard boxes, which were filled with Zeke¡¯s things. Sasha leaned on the sofa like a queen,zily admiring her newly manicured fingernails. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Zeke asked in astonishment. ¡°I want you to get away. It¡¯s ufortable to have morning sickness, and it gets even worse when I see you,¡± Sasha answered leisurely. ¡°I have to stay and take care of you. I don¡¯t feel at ease letting otherse.¡± ¡°Are you kidding? What are you pretending in front of me?¡± Sasha sneered. She did not believe Zeke¡¯s tricks at all. ¡°Then let your mother serve me?¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t told her about this yet.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. You don¡¯t have to tell her.¡± Sasha nodded. ¡°After all, this is my child. It has nothing to do with you.¡± ¡°Are you still angry with me? Pregnant women can¡¯t be angry. It¡¯s not good for you and the baby,¡± Zeke said. ¡°Then hurry up and get away.¡± After that, Sasha went upstairs. ¡°Oh, by the way, don¡¯t send trash to mypany. Mypany isn¡¯t a waste recycling station.¡± Zeke didn¡¯t respond and soon asked the driver to send those things away. From then on, Zeke visited Sasha¡¯s house every day. The media had written hundreds and thousands of the news, but no one had ever denied them. That night, there was news that Zeke spent money arranging a luxurious marriage proposal ceremony. However, Zeke waited for a night, but the female lead did not appear at all. Sasha browsed through the news on the Inte and called Zeke with a smile. ¡°How about I help you find a manager in showbiz? I think you are quite good at acting.¡± ¡°Are you smiling?¡± ¡°Are you sick?¡± She responded coldly. Without waiting for Zeke to say another word, Sasha blocked his phone call. That night, the news on the Inte was cleaned up. Zeke thought that it was Sasha who did it. Unexpectedly, it was Jeremy. Not only that, Jeremy even called Zeke to threaten him. Stay away from her Chapter 439 Chapter 439 Chapter 439 Cease to Be Faithful ¡°Are you threatening me?¡± Zekeughed indifferently. He didn¡¯t take Jeremy seriously at all. ¡°You¡¯d better deal with your mess first, Jeremy.¡± ¡°Zeke, don¡¯t think that you have the capital to fight with me through her connections with several powerful people.¡± Jeremy was a wily old fox in the business world. He had seen many people like Zeke who were using women to get to the top. ¡°She just likes novelty.¡± Jeremy sneered, ¡°You are not as important as a pet dog in her heart.¡± ¡°We have a child.¡± Zeke said calmly, ¡°We will get married soon. You don¡¯t have to worry so much.¡± ¡°Child?¡± Jeremy¡¯s tone suddenly became gloomy. Zeke didn¡¯t mind at all and didn¡¯t care about his threat at all. The next day, Sasha asked Alexa toe out for coffee. Although they were talking about the contract, Sasha¡¯s mind was not on the contract at all. After the cooperation was settled, Sasha mentioned Zeke. ¡°I have made it clear to him.¡± Shezily said, ¡°When the timees, it may hurt the reputation of the Duran family.¡± ¡°It is up to you. But don¡¯t go too far.¡± Alexa did not want to get involved in their affairs, but for the sake of cooperation, she still reminded her. ¡°We have unanimously decided to expel Zeke from The Duran family. He may not have any value for you in the future.¡± ¡°Your means are powerful.¡± Sasha said bluntly, her eyes full of admiration. ¡°Your actions are always swift and resolute.¡± ¡°Well, he who gets in contact with vermilion will be red.¡± ¡°You and Terrence have a good rtionship. I have never seen amercial marriage couple who are as loving as you.¡± ¡°We are connected by marriage.¡± Alexa¡¯s tone was very cold and she did not like the words mercial marriage¡±. ¡°We are connected by love.¡± ¡°The most elusive thing in the world is love.¡± Sasha said with a sigh of emotion, ¡°Even couples who love each other will change their minds. The man ceases to be faithful. However, he mes the elusive nature of love.¡± ¡°He will not change his mind.¡± Alexa smiled confidently. ¡°Me too.¡± Sasha was envious, but she didn¡¯t show it. When they left, they happened to meet Zeke. He smiled brightly at Sasha with a bunch of holy white roses. Although he did not like Alexa, he still greeted her. Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. ¡°Hello, Alexa.¡± ¡°Are you here for business?¡± Alexa asked indifferently as if she was watching a joke. As if he did not understand her words, Zeke held the flowers and walked in front of Sasha. ¡°Baby, have you had fun?¡± ¡°Is it disgusting?¡± Sasha rolled her eyes at him,pletely ignoring Zeke. ¡°I went to many stores in New York today to buy the white roses you like.¡± Sasha nced at him indifferently. There was no joy in her eyes. ¡°I don¡¯t like them now.¡± Sasha said coldly, ¡°Because you gave them to me, I don¡¯t like them anymore.¡± However, Zeke was still not angry. ¡°Then I will wait for you. You will like it one day.¡± He said affectionately, ¡°No matter how long it takes, I am willing to wait for you.¡± There was a very heavy smell of disinfectant on his body. Alexa was stimted by this smell, so she left first. Sasha intended to go with Alexa, but Zeke was so anxious that he directly grabbed her arm. ¡°Where are you going?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going home.¡± Sasha frowned in disgust. ¡°Let go, don¡¯t touch me.¡± ¡°Jeremy called mest night.¡± Sasha paled when she heard this name. ¡°What did you talk about?¡± ¡°We do talk about something.¡± Zeke twitched his mouth. ¡°But as for what we talked about¡­ Why should I tell you?¡± ¡°Zeke!¡± ¡°We are in the street. If you mess with me here, your perfect image will be destroyed.¡± Alexa watched Sasha and Zeke argue for a while. Then Zeke went into Sasha¡¯s car. ¡°Jim Adelson, let¡¯s go.¡± Alexa said calmly, ¡°Let them go back by themselves.¡± In Sasha¡¯s car, the atmosphere was solemn. She kept looking at her phone,pletely ignoring Zeke. ¡°Who are you chatting with?¡± Zeke asked, displeased. ¡°What does it have to do with you?¡± Sasha said angrily, ¡°Don¡¯t contact Jeremy anymore.¡± ¡°He contacted me,¡± Zeke said with a hint of ridicule in his eyes. ¡°I think he still likes you. He still cares about you even after the divorce.¡± ¡°What nonsense are you talking about?¡± Sasha rolled her eyes and continued to negotiate with Jeremy on Line.She didn¡¯t know why Jeremy was so crazy. He kept asking about her pregnancy.She did not allow Zeke to go back with her. But this man kept following her and refused to leave. Zeke asked his assistant to drive his car over, and then he got into the car and waited at the door. Sasha did not expect Jeremy to suddenlye over. Not only that, even Sonya came. She had just been discharged from the hospital not long ago. However, when she saw Sasha, she still wanted to beat her. ¡°Sasha.¡± Jeremy seemed humble and fawning. ¡°Why don¡¯t you abort the child ande back with me?¡± He seemed to be coaxing a child. ¡°I know you like children. When you have recovered, we can have our baby.¡± Sonya snorted unhappily. She had always been a little unhappy with Sasha because of this. Now that her son had to bow down to this woman, Sonya was even more furious. ¡°Why are you trying to please her? Jeremy, I will find a good woman for you again.¡± ¡°Are you twoing to my house to act?¡± Sasha sneered, ¡°Unfortunately, I don¡¯t like it. Please step aside. I need to go out.¡± ¡°Sasha. Sasha!¡± Jeremy hurriedly followed her and almost kneeled in front of her. ¡°My mother always uses sharp words. Please don¡¯t mind it.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Sasha wanted to p him. ¡°The Lumis family is so awesome. I can¡¯t afford it.¡± ¡°The father of the baby in her belly is unknown.¡± Sonya spat coldly. ¡°How dare you bully me, you shameless vixen!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t curse you just now because you are an elder.¡± Sasha nced at Sonya coldly. ¡°But isn¡¯t it a little too much for you to insult me again and again?¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Seeing that Sasha was not cowardly, Sonya changed her words with a livid face. ¡°My son loves you so much, but you have an affair. How can you do that?¡± ¡°If you keep making trouble here, I will ask the bodyguards to push you out.¡± ¡°Is that child Zeke¡¯s?¡± Jeremy asked unwillingly. ¡°What else?¡± Zeke¡¯s cold voice sounded from behind them. Sasha saw this messy scene and immediately lost interest in going out. You guys can keep quarreling,¡± she said unhappily. Chapter 440 Chapter 440 Chapter 440 Why Should I Feel Sorry for You? Sonya¡¯s face darkened. Jeremy made concessions to Sasha. She was very dissatisfied with her son¡¯s behavior. She thought, they got married for three years. Not only did she not give birth to a baby for the Lumis family but she also had a child with the gigolo outside. The more Sonya thought about it, the more humiliated she felt. Therefore, she could not beg Sasha. ¡°Jeremy, if you still recognize me as your mother,e with me now!¡± ¡°Mom, can you not interrupt me?¡± Jeremy steeled his heart and asked Sasha to go back with him. He would not listen to anyone. ¡°You¡­¡± ¡°Hurry up and follow your mother back, Mr. Lumis.¡± Zeke said in a strange tone, ¡°Just take care of yourself.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t have the right to speak here!¡± Jeremy shouted angrily. ¡°Why not?¡± Zeke pointed at Sasha¡¯s belly. ¡°I am the father of the baby. I must protect Sasha.¡± Sasha stood there for a while, feeling a little nauseous. Zeke saw that she was not feeling well and quickly changed his words. ¡°Alright, hurry up and leave. No one here wants to see you.¡± Sonya had never been so angry before. She dragged Jeremy away, crying and shouting. As soon as they left, Zeke immediately changed his face and looked at Sasha with ttery eyes. ¡°Sasha,e in.¡± He said gently, ¡°It¡¯s quite cold outside.¡± ¡°Why haven¡¯t you left yet?¡± ¡°You¡¯re here. How can I leave you?¡± ¡°Stop being so glib-tongued. I won¡¯t fall for your tricks.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Zeke said obediently, ¡°Then you should go back and have a good rest. My heart aches if you hurt your body from the cold.¡± Although Sasha did not like him, she still walked into the house. ¡°Why are you acting so obsequious?¡± She said coldly, ¡°It¡¯s my child. You can¡¯t gain anything from it.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk about this every day. Think about something happy.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not happy to see you.¡± Although Sasha said so, Zeke did not intend to leave at all. He served Sasha with noints. When Sasha was angry and scolded him, he only responded with a smile and did not quarrel with her at all. ¡°I heard that Jeremy is going to have dinner with Terrence tonight,¡± Sasha asked as if she was watching a show. ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid?¡± ¡°What am I afraid of?¡± Zeke said calmly, ¡°What does their business have to do with me? Or do you feel sorry for me?¡± ¡°Doesn¡¯t it have nothing to do with you? Why should I feel sorry for you?¡± ¡°You know the answer.¡± Sasha hated him to death. Zeke was a typical scumbag. However, he was handsome and glib. Sasha liked it. ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± Sasha replied coldly and locked the door. Zeke prepared the fruits for her and then left. His assistant had been waiting outside the door. ¡°Did Jeremy go to find Terrence?¡± ¡°It is said that the Lumis Group is interested in the New York market.¡± The assistant just investigated Terrence. ¡°Mr. Duran, I¡¯m afraid he came here because of Ms. Molina.¡± Zeke did not respond to him. Half a minuteter, he drove away with a gloomy face. At this time, Jeremy and Terrence had just met. Terrence did not have a good impression of Jeremy, so other than business, he did not mention anything else. However, Jeremy was vigorous and kept talking. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, Zeke is your brother-inw. Are you going to let him do this?¡± ¡°He is a mature man with a healthy mind and can be responsible for his behavior.¡± Terrence¡¯s attitude was very indifferent and he did not care about this matter. ¡°He made my ex-wife pregnant. Isn¡¯t it for the Duran family¡¯s assets?¡± Terrence did not care about this matter. ¡°Your wife should also know about this matter, right?¡± Jeremy said very confidently, ¡°Is she willing to part with the family property?¡± ¡°Mr. Lumis, I know you want to deal with Zeke. Just do it.¡± Terrence secretly warned, ¡°There is no need to say that to me.¡± Besides his family, Terrence did not care about other people. ¡°If you really loved her, you wouldn¡¯t have used this method to plot against her.¡± At this point, Jeremy¡¯s face was gloomy. As soon as the business was finished, Terrence left. Alexa did not expect him toe back so early. ¡°I was just about to coax Damarion to sleep.¡± She softly whispered, and Terrence had already taken the storybook in her hand. ¡°I¡¯ll do it. You go back to your room and wait for me.¡± He was already very skilled at taking care of Alexa. ¡°I¡¯lle over when Damarion is asleep.¡± Alexa nodded. When Terrence returned to his room, Alexa was sitting on the bed and flipping through the pages. ¡°Didn¡¯t you drink tonight?¡± ¡°I need toe back to take care of you. Therefore, I didn¡¯t drink at all.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that serious. I can do these things myself.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not convenient for you.¡± Terrence doted on Alexa very much and wished that he could do everything on behalf of Alexa. He also spent most of his time with Alexa every day. ¡°I just talked to Sasha.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Alexa said, ¡°The conflict between her and Jeremy is not a small problem. It might influence the cooperation between the Hudson Group and the Lumis Group.¡± ¡°Then we won¡¯t cooperate.¡± Terrence immediately blurted out, ¡°I didn¡¯t promise him tonight either.¡± ¡°You trust me so much?¡± Alexa smiled, ¡°It¡¯s just my subjective guess. The cooperation will involve hundreds of millions of benefits.¡± ¡°Jeremy is not a good person. This kind of person is not a trustworthy partner.¡± Alexa did notment. But when Jeremy woke up the next morning, the Lumis Group¡¯s market value had evaporated several hundred million dors. Jeremy was so panicked. He directly came to find Sasha. But this time, Sasha directly closed her door and did not want to see him at all. That morning, Zeke took thewyer division to Jeremy¡¯spany. ¡°Acquisition?¡± Jeremyughed angrily, ¡°What are you dreaming about?¡± ¡°Mr. Lumis, I will only give you one chance.¡± Zeke¡¯s attitude was very strong, and he had no intention of backing down at all. ¡°Since you are Sasha¡¯s ex-husband, I will try to give you a reasonable price.¡± R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only ¡°You haven¡¯t even gotten much of the Duran family¡¯s property. What qualifications do you have to threaten me?¡± ¡°You can have a try.¡± Zeke¡¯s attitude was very tough. Jeremy was uncertain. ¡°Is Sasha willing to spend so much money on you?¡± ¡°She loves me so much. What do you think?¡± Zeke deliberately provoked him and thoroughly offended Jeremy. ¡°How can Terrence help you? You are simply indulging in fantasy.¡± Zeke sneered, ¡°My sister is famous for being narrow-minded. If you offend her once, she will take revenge on you.¡± ¡°I offend her?¡± Although Jeremy was still stubborn, he lost the confidence he had just now. After Zeke left, Jeremy became angrier and angrier. He directly called Sasha. ¡°Are you going to harm me together with Alexa? Sasha, why do you do this?¡± Sasha was stunned for a second. She said disdainfully, ¡°Why? Well, why not? Isn¡¯t it fun?¡± ¡°There is a philosophical saying. Couples may be the closest partners or the most hateful enemies.¡± Chapter 441 Chapter 441 Chapter 441 Kasey Landon "Don''t be ridiculous." Sasha had a mocking smile on her face, but her tone was indifferent.She said, "Jeremy, name any mistakes I have made for the past three years if you can." Jeremy said, "I know that my mother has given you a hard time.But the love between us still exists, doesn''t it?" "Have we ever had love between us?" said Sasha with contempt. "You spent more time on your lovers than on me." Jeremy continued, "You just try to irritate me by being with Zeke, don''t you?" She asked, "Jeremy, don''t you think you''re too self-centered?" Jeremy didn''t like to be refuted by Sasha.He never thought that he would be out of words in front of a woman. Jeremy said, "Don''t you give in to me and ask for my mercy? "It''s..." "Jeremy, l''ll tell you the truth.Never." Sasha had lost patience and directly hung up the phone.She suddenly threw away her phone and gave Mina, who came to deliver the soup, a fright. "Madam, are you okay?" Mina asked with concern. Sashay on the sofa, holding her head up with one hand, depressed. "Why not?" she said coldly. "I''m fine." "But you look unwell," Mina said. She spoke carefully, afraid that she would make Sasha unhappy.But just as she finished speaking, Sasha suddenly clutched her belly and cried out. "My belly hurts..." "Madam, Madam!" Alexa soon found out that Sasha had been hospitalized. Since Sasha was a partner of the Duran Group, it was proper for Alexa to deliver her concern, so she went to visit Sasha with Terrence.She asked Terrence to wait outside and went into the ward alone. Sasha was lying on the bed, still looking arrogant. "Why are you here?" asked Sasha. "To express my concern and kindness," answered Alexa. She put the bouquet on the cab and saw a bowl of cold congee. "You haven''t eaten?" Alexa asked. "No appetite." "The first three months of pregnancy are very important. You have to be extra careful," Alexa advised her kindly. "You have to take good care of yourself." Sasha looked a little annoyed. Sheined, "It''s so troublesome. I don''t want to have this baby." "That''s a major decision you need to think twice before making," said Alexa. Somehow, her ration calmed Sasha down. "I understand," replied Sasha reluctantly. "I will be more careful." "That''s good." R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only "Jeremy contacted me today," Sasha told her. "Don''t worry, my brother will handle it," answered Alexa. "I have absolute confidence in you," said Sasha. Sasha asked for nothing but mutual benefit from Alexa, which made it easier for Alexa to handle the business between them. They chatted for a while before someone broke into their conversation. After a few knocks entered Kieran.He wasn''t surprised to see Alexa here.He revealed a polite smile to her. "Dr.Powell," Alexa greeted first. Kieran said, "I just saw Mr.Ramsey outside.I guessed that you might be here." "You know each other?" Sasha asked. "Yes." Alexa nodded and smiled after a pause. "We are very good friends." Kieran also smiled without any more words about their rtionship. The door was ajar and Alexa saw the figure standing at the door. Terrence must be very concerned about what she said about her rtionship with Kieran, otherwise he would not be so nervous. Kieran changed the topic to ask Sasha about her recovery as usual. "Do you still feel anxious and short of breath now?" "asionally," answered Sasha. "But it is much milder now and doesn''t make me that ufortable." "Okay, I will contact your attending doctor and continue the follow-up treatment," said Kieran. He left after making the record. Alexa was to follow him out when Sasha spoke. "You do know a lot of handsome and good-natured men." "Dr.Powell is indeed a nice guy," Alexa admitted. "But I wouldn''t rmend pursuing him now that you still have lots of trouble to solve." "How do you know that I want to pursue him?" Sasha smiled jokingly. "If I had known you earlier, I wouldn''t have fallen for a jerk like Zeke." Alexaforted her, "Don''t worry too much about what has happened.Have a good rest." When Alexa walked out of the ward, Terrence could not wait to step forward and hold her hand. "What''s wrong?" thuy she asked with a smile. Terrence answered, "I miss you." "I was only away from you for ten minutes." "Then why does it feel like a century?" Terrence''s voice was very light as if he was deliberately avoiding something. "Dr.Powell just said a few words to me.Are you jealous again?" asked Alexa. Terrence denied, "I''m not." "Really?" Alexa nodded as if she had bought his words. "It seems that I was worried too much." Terrence silently looked down at her.She pretended to feel pitiful and said, "I had wanted to chat with him for longer.I was worried that you would be jealous, so I didn''t." "What do you want to know from him?" Terrence immediately said, "Whatever it is, I can ask Edwin to check it out for you." "There''s no need for that.I just want to talk about old anecdotes between friends." Alexa instantly sensed the jealousy that burst out from Terrence''s body.She ceased teasing him then. "Easy, easy," she held his hand and said. "I didn''t mean that." Terrence''s upset face was slightly lightened up after he heard Alexa say so. When they left the hospital, an ambnce was parked at the gate. When the patient was carried out, Alexa took a nce and found Zeke beside the patient. However, Zekepletely focused on the patient, so he did not notice Alexa. And Alexa saw that the patient was a woman. Alexa was confused. "Let''s go." Terrence said softly and led her away. That night, Keyon called.He told Alexa, "Zeke has a girlfriend he has been dating for three years." He said indifferently, "She tried to suicide by cutting her wrist today.It caused quite a fuss." "Was that girl okay after that?" asked Alexa. "Fortunately, she was sent to the hospital in time, and her life was saved." Keyon continued, "Her name is Kasey Landon, and she is Giselle''s friend.For this matter, Giselle quarreled with me for a long time." "Why is it rted to Giselle again?" said Alexa anxiously. She wanted to p Zeke in the face. Since Giselle was infuriated, Irvin gave a heavy blow to the Duran Group. In less than two hours, the Duran Group''s stock had fallen to a shocking level. "We must teach Zeke a lesson this time," Alexa said. "He has created too much trouble in such a few days.If Sasha learns about this, things may be out of our control." Terrence did not say anything and just silently went out. Half an hourter, Alexa heard that Zeke was jointly impeached by the board of the Duran Group, and all the members asked him to be removed. At this moment, Sasha just learned about Kasey cutting her wrist. Zeke behaved as if it had nothing to do with him, and even warmed Sasha a ss of milk calmly. Sasha waved her hand and knocked the ss to the ground, then gave him a loud p. Chapter 442 Chapter 442 Chapter 442 Mess With the Wrong People "Zeke, how dare you!" Sasha was trembling with anger, her face ashen.Zeke didn''t retort right away and squatted down to pick up those ss pieces instead. "What now?" he asked habitually, "What did I do to upset you?" "You can drop the act." Sasha pped Zeke across the face twice again, and thetter did not even try to dodge. When Sasha wanted to p him for the third time, he suddenly reached out and pinned her hand in the air. "I''m not your punching bag.No one can deal with your irascible temper." "Tell me, what happened between you and Kasey?" Zeke''s eyes shed with malice when he heard this. "How do you know Kasey?" He changed his expression instantly. "Did you find her fault? Sasha, you..." "Zeke, finally, you stop pretending in front of me." Sasha sneered. She had cried for this until she had no more tears to shed. "How many things have you lied to me about?" "I didn''t lie to you. I just feel that there is no need to tell you about this." Zeke said indifferently, "After all, I have already cut off all ties with her today." "Today? You dated her for three years.Are you willing to let her go?" Sasha said aggressively, "She cut her wrist for you.How is this cutting off?" "She was too impulsive.What can I do?" Zeke had been holding a cold-blooded attitude the whole time. "I tried to persuade her out of it, but she didn''t listen." "Zeke, is there anything you will not do to climb up the socialdder?" Sasha had a lot of connections, so what Zeke had been doing couldn''t be hidden from her. "If you dream of using Kasey as a stepping stone to your ambition, forget about it." Sasha satirized. It was good enough of her not to use the F word. "You don''t have to be so excited." Zeke was not scared. "You are the one who said that you do not care if I have other women." "I don''t care." Sasha retorted and turned around not to face him. To Zeke, this was the end of this matter, so in the afternoon, he went to visit Kasey secretly. Kasey just woke up. When she saw Zeke, she began to shed tears. "Zeke..." Kasey said pitifully, choking with sobs. Zeke was a little annoyed, but he did not show it. "Are you really going to break up with me?" Kasey looked painful. "We were fine before.Why did you suddenly..." "Kasey, there are many good men out there.Don''t waste your time on me." "Then what about my three years?" Kasey sounded quite weak, so her query did not show any seriousness. "You didn''t want to cause trouble for me, so you suggested hiding our rtionship, while the truth is that I don''t mind it at all." "It''s not because of this." "Then why? You treat me better after my dad invested in yourpany." T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. "Kasey, mypany is in face of some problems now.I don''t want you to suffer for me." Zeke put himself in a difficult position, which made Kasey pity him more. "I''m not afraid.We can go through this together!" "You don''t have to do this for me." Zeke had made his point clear, but Kasey still refused to let him go. "I still have 8 million dors in my ount.Is it enough?" Zeke did not say anything and looked as if he was struggling mentally. "I am your girlfriend.If you have any difficulties, just let me know." Kasey wrote a check and stuffed it into Zeke''s hand. Zeke did not refuse.He leaned over and kissed Kasey on the forehead. "Have a good rest.I wille to see youter." Although Zeke did not look ted, Kasey was much happier. "Zeke, thank you for being there for me all the time." "Don''t ever do such silly things." Zeke looked at her wrist. "I love you the most.I can''t bear to see you get hurt." "Well, I know.It won''t happen again." After she calmed down, Zeke left the ward. His assistant hurriedly came over and said. "Mr.Duran, Ms.Molina just had the baby aborted." "What did you say?" Zeke changed his expression and grabbed the assistant''s cor. "Why didn''t anyone tell me this? Where was she? Hurry up and take me there!" When Zeke rushed to Sasha''s ward, she had just woken up and looked as white as a sheet. "Sasha!" Zeke roared hysterically, his eyes bloodshot. "What did you do?" He walked angrily towards Sasha''s bed. But her bodyguards rushed in and forced him to step down. "Zeke, I have told you before.You can''t restrain me." Sasha said coldly. "Now that the baby is gone, we are even." "You wish.Sasha, how can you be so ruthless?" "Ruthless? I am still not as good as you." Sasha''s voice was low as she was too exhausted. Then Zeke was directly kicked out by her bodyguard. Somehow, Isobel heard the news and directly came to the hospital with more bodyguards. When seeing Zeke, she suppressed the anger in her heart and shouted with a livid face. "Go back with me!" "Mom." "Don''t call me mom!" Isobel was so pissed off. "Despite what you want, there are always some people you cannot afford to mess with." Now it was a critical period for them as the board of the Duran Group was thinking about the change of the person in power.thuy What Zeke did made all the higher-ups very unhappy. After getting in the car, lsobel raised her hand and her pnded on his body. "Both Sasha and Kasey are not easy to deal with." Isobel had lost her mind. "Zeke, who have you been in contact with before? How did you end up like this?" "How?" Zeke asked. "Have you ever cared about me? You gave birth to an illegitimate child for some money.But I can never get rid of that title in my life." "You are the legitimate bloodline of the Duran family.You are not an illegitimate child." "Why are you still fooling yourself?" Zeke sounded indifferent. "Then do you dare to let me call him father in public?" Isobel looked ugly, as she could not agree. "My methods are nothingpared to yours." Zeke was targeting lsobel angrily. Nothing right now could please him. Not only that, he could not get his unborn baby with Sasha off his mind. "Then what exactly happened between you and Sasha?" Isobel''s question added another fuel to Zeke''s fire. "Don''t ask about it.How would I know?" Zeke replied ina bad mood and asked the driver to pull over. Then he directly got out of the car and left. Isobel did not want to make a scene in public and did not stop him. Alexa did not know about Sasha''s surgery. When she and Terrence sent Damarion to the hospital because Damarion had a cold, she heard the nurse talking about this matter. Zeke made quite a scene in the hospital, so almost every nurse knew about what happened between him and Sasha. Alexa eavesdropped on part of their conversation and learned about the abortion that Sasha had done. At that moment, Terrence happened toe over with Damarion in his arms. Chapter 443 Chapter 443 Chapter 443 How Come I Am Your Wife? "Damarion is fine.It is not a bad cold," Terrence said slowly. "The doctor has prescribed some medicine." Damarion was not in good spirits. After being sick, he became more dependent on Alexa. "Damarion, Mom will be tired out." Terrence held Damarion in his arm and did not allow Damarion to pounce on Alexa. "How about Daddy pick you up?" "I don''t want you." Damarion suddenly became willful. Terrence frowned slightly, but he did not scold Damarion. "I want my mother." "Give him to me." Alexa wanted to take Damarion, but Terrence was surprisingly stubborn. "No." He was resolute. "It''s not convenient for you.I will carry Damarion." Although Terrence was always merciful, he could be scary to Damarion when Terrence talked in a serious tone. Alexa was standing by his side, but Damarion could not hug her.He immediately felt aggrieved and secretly shed tears. Alexa''s heart was about to break when she looked at this poor little fellow. "Damarion was in poor health when he was a child, and I have been taking care of him." Alexa stroked Damarion''s head as a way tofort him. "He feels insecure when being sick, so he wants me." "I can also take good care of him." Terrence has been trying to find a way to repair the rtionship between him and Damarion. Although Damarion got along well with Terrence, it seemed that he still did not trust Terrence very much when he needed someone. Damarion had been staying in Terrence''s arms all the time.He cried with aggrievance and then soon fell asleep with his hand grabbing Terrence¡¯s cor. "Take your time," Alexa said in a low voice. The light in the car was dark, and Alexa could not see Terrence''s expression clearly. But after she finished speaking, Terrence kissed her forehead lightly. "Alexa, thank you." "Damarion''s personality is very like yours," Alexa smiled in a rxed mood. "He takes after you." "I hope that he will be able to protect you and our daughter when he grows up, so I will be extra strict with him." "Are you sure it''s a girl?" "My intuition says so," Terrence smiled lightly. "It is always right." "Then what if it''s not?" Alexa shed a smile and looked at him seriously. "Do I have to carry another one?" "No," Terrence said without thinking. "Whether it''s a daughter or a son, this is thest one." "What if I still want one?" "No." When it came to this question, Terrence had always been very serious. "Your healthes first," he said slowly. "It is enough for us to have two children." "Okay." Alexa nodded, but when he thought of Sasha, she still felt a little suffocated. "I heard that Zeke has a financialpany himself." "Yes, he did." "What do you mean?" "Three hours ago, he did have a financialpany.But not long ago, it went bankrupt," Terrence said lightly. "Could it be..." Alexa looked at him, and everything she needed to know was in his eyes. Terrence nodded and smiled subtly. "He is quite bold." "Mr.Landon loves his daughter. I am afraid Zeke is probably in big trouble." "Will Irvin protect Zeke?" Alexa said objectively. "Maybe Zeke also knows Jovan." Jovan was sinister and liked to y foully. Terrence had been dealing with Jovan for so many years, but he still hadn''t gotten the upper hand. In a cloudy mood, Alexa felt distressed. The next day, Kasey was discharged from the hospital. Zeke personally came to pick her up, and Kasey was very happy. They had been talking andughing all the time.It wasn''t until they packed up and left the ward that Sasha suddenly showed up at the door with her men. The smile on Zeke''s face instantly froze. Kasey didn''t know what had happened and looked at the two with a nk face. Sasha stood there with an indifferent expression.She looked very aggressive. Kasey walked closer to Zeke subconsciously. "Zeke..." She said weakly. Zeke did not respond to her, while Sasha sneered. "Is she the ex-girlfriend you were talking about?" "What...What ex-girlfriend?" "Nothing," Zeke smiled stiffly. "Kasey, ignore her.Let''s go." "I don''t want to." Kasey realized something was wrong and immediately let go of Zeke''s hand. "Zeke, make it clear to me first." "Yes, make it clear to her," Sasha said with a cold face. "Whatever between you and me is notplicated." Zeke''s face darkened. Sasha knew that he would not admit it, so she smiled at Kasey insincerely. "I had an abortion yesterday.It was his baby." "What did you say?" Kasey took a step back in disbelief, her face pale with fright. "Zeke, is what she said true?" Zeke couldn''t take it anymore andpletely fell out with Sasha. "How can you be sure that it''s mine? You know how slutty you are," Zeke smiled cruelly. "You just be more and more adept at slinging mud at others." Sasha had already seen through him, so she was not hurt by his words. "You don''t even dare to do amniocentesis and keep iming it is mine. Isn''t it funny?" "Yes, it is." She looked straight at Zeke with no warmth in her heart. "I brought awyer here today," Sasha said casually. "I hope you can cooperate and return all the properties I gave to you.Otherwise, I will see you in court." Zeke was embarrassed and immediately left with Kasey with no more argument. "I''ll send you to your dad and talk with him aboutst night''s business." Kasey didn''t answer and just wiped her tears. "Stop it.Don''t cry.She''s just a crazy woman.You don''t have to care about her." "How can you know that kind of person?" "If you want to know, I will exin it to youter," Zeke promised sincerely. "But not today.It''s your discharge day from the hospital.I don''t want an irrelevant person to influence your mood." Hearing this, Kasey instantly stopped talking. Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. Zeke looked very serious.thuy He could not have lied to her. "Zeke, I believe you." Kasey really loved him deeply. Zeke was relieved. Kasey had arranged everything for tonight''s meeting. "My dad has agreed.Let''s have dinner tonight and talk about your¡± Chapter 444 Chapter 444 Chapter 444 I Don''t Have to Exin Alexa followed the sound of the voice and saw Sasha wearing an elegant and chic ck dress. "Sasha." Dale immediately smiled.It seemed that they had a good rtionship. "I haven''t seen you for days.Why do you suddenly want to treat me to a meal today?" Sasha talked to Dale and greeted Alexa as they sat down. On the other hand, Zeke''s face was stiff. "Kasey, this is Ms.Molina." "Dad, how did you meet Ms.Molina?" Sasha smiled calmly and said generously. "I have known Dale for many years and we have been working together.We are old friends." "I see..." Kasey looked more and more embarrassed and quietly sized up Zeke. Alexa sipped her tea and smiled without saying a word.She and Terrence were simply here to watch a y. Dale had a lot of prejudice against Zeke, or else he would not have specially invited Sasha here today. At the same table, the atmosphere between the people was a little awkward. "Kasey, didn''t you say that you were going to introduce your boyfriend to me? Tell me." Dale casually asked and nced at Zeke.He sat beside Kasey timidly, not even daring to raise his head. "Dad." Kasey forced a smile, "I''ve known Zeke for three years.He is starting his own business for the sake of our future." Sasha suddenlyughed. Kasey pretended not to hear and continued. "But hispany has been in a bit of trouble recently, so we want to talk to you about cooperation." "Start a business?" Sasha suddenly said, "Young people fancy starting up businesses, but many of them failed." "Zeke has the experience, so there won''t be any problems." "Mypany was in good operation at the beginning, but it was inexplicably targeted and was on the verge of bankruptcy." Zeke clenched the cup and looked at Terrence with a gloomy look. "I also want to ask my dear brother-inw, what is going on?" Terrence was helping Alexa to cut the steak and did not look at Zeke. "I don''t think I owe you an exnation." "I know Alexa has always disliked me, but there is no need to do so." Alexa silently put down the tableware and smiled gently. "Do what?" "Mypany was targeted by Hudson Group and went bankrupt.Don''t tell me you don''t know this?" Zeke looked innocent. "We are all family.Is there a need to do this?" "Is that so?" Terrence said indifferently, "Why do I remember that we don''t have a person like you in our family?" "The higher-ups of the Duran Group have signed a petition recently." Alexa continued indifferently, "You remember the details on that, right? We don''t have to remind you anymore, do we?" Alexa and Terrence''s singing immediately made Zeke very embarrassed. "You can also say that you were wronged.It doesn''t matter." Alexa added lightly, "No one believes it anyway." Sasha listened silently, a mocking smile on her face. They were all owners of giantpanies, and Zeke was not even qualified to eat at the same table. "My dear, dad is very happy you are interested in business.But first, tell me, how did the wound on your wriste about?" Dale said in a low voice. "This...This is an ident." T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. Kasey stammered, not daring to tell the truth. "I saw Ms.Landon at the hospital today.Are you feeling unwell?" Sasha asked unhurriedly. "Nothing serious." Kasey answered reluctantly, but Zeke suddenly put down the tableware and left the hall with a gloomy face. "Zeke!" "Kasey, sit down!" Dale''s attitude suddenly became very serious. Kasey was So scared that she did not dare to move. "Ah." Dale snorted and sneered, "Isobel''s good son!" The meal ended very unhappily, but Alexa and Terrence were not affected much. During the break, Alexa personally sent Sasha to the car. "Are you alright?" Alexa asked. "Pretty good." Sasha nodded as if nothing had happened. Alexa nced at Sasha''s high heels, then looked at Sasha. Sasha''s makeup was exquisite, and there was almost no trace of fatigue, but Sasha''s eyes were still weak. Alexa took the coat handed over by her assistant and carefully put it on Sasha. "Health above everything.For that kind of trash, it is not worth it." "It is not worth it." Sasha forced a smile, "But I am a narrow- minded person.I will take revenge for the smallest grievance.I can''t see him well." "He offended Dale.He''s going to be in trouble." "The doctor said that it will be difficult for me to get pregnant." Sasha sighed with emotion, her eyes full of envy. "I really envy you.You have a husband who loves you.Soon, you will have a second child." "Everyone''s happiness is different." Alexaforted, and when she turned around, she found that Terrence was still standing not far away, waiting for her. Not only that, even Edwin was standing in ce. "What''s wrong?" Edwin was embarrassed to say so, so Terrerce helped. "The young couple is quarreling." Alexa was stunned and suddenlyughed. "Edwin, you can still quarrel with Marin?" Edwin squeezed out a smile bitterly. "I was the one who made her angry," he said carefully, ¡®I said something wrong." "Marin has a good temper.Maybe you should talk to her?" "Yes, I invited her to watch a movie tonight." "Then don''t follow us." Terrence said casually, "Get ready early. Don''t make her angry again this time." "Mr.Ramsey, I know." Terrence urged him to leave. Alexa finally remembered to ask Terrence for the reason. "Yesterday, an intern confessed to Edwin." Terrence said slowly, "It just so happens that Marin came to visit and bumped into this.Edwin doesn''t know how to exin.It is simply adding fuel to the fire." "What a CEO." Alexa nodded in approval. "You know everything about thepany?" "I know you like gossip." Terrence understood her too well, so he paid extra attention to these things. "Then is there an intern who confessed to you, Mr.Ramsey?" Terrence did not speak, but his hand was already on her waist. "What do you think?" "I think it''s good that you didn''t scare others to tears." They smiled at each other. Alexa''s phone suddenly rang.thuy Sasha sent a message over. "Sasha: Keyon stopped me." Alexa then called Keyon. "Nothing," Keyon answered quickly, "Have a chat with her." Sasha sat opposite Keyon.Keyon exined a few words to Alexa and hung up the phone. "You know Kasey?" he asked coldly. "Yes," Sasha answered. "But our rtionship shouldn''t be too good." Chapter 445 Chapter 445 Chapter 445 Do You Really Not Hate Me? ¡°I want to see Kasey.¡± ¡°If I¡¯m not wrong, you should be asking me for help, right?¡± Sasha raised an eyebrow. ¡°What does this attitude mean?¡± Keyon had a cold personality, and with Giselle¡¯s matter, his face hadn¡¯t been rxed recently. Sasha was the one who bought this. The more he acted like this, the sterner she felt in her heart. ¡°Give me a condition.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t help you with Giselle¡¯s matter,¡± she said bluntly, ¡°And it¡¯s not good for me to get involved.¡± Keyon didn¡¯t want to mention the matter between him and Giselle in front of outsiders.But Sasha was an experienced lover, so she had already seen this little trick clearly. ¡°If you really want to make up with Giselle, don¡¯t make these twists and turns. Just directly talk to her.¡± ¡°She doesn¡¯t want to see me.¡± There was no emotion in Keyon¡¯s eyes. However, Sasha knew that Keyon must be so sad that he could speak such words. ¡°For the sake of you being Alexa¡¯s brother, I can teach you.¡± ¡°You teach me?¡± ¡°You two are the ones who will live together. Why do you care about her brother?¡± Sasha asked indifferently, ¡°Don¡¯t you know what kind of person Irvin has?¡± Sasha had dealt with Irvin several times before. This person was quite ambitious and scheming. She had worked with Irvin once, and in the end, it was not very pleasant. ¡°Can you find Giselle¡¯s location? Give her flowers every day. All girls like romance.¡± Keyon didn¡¯t say anything and listened very seriously. ¡°It¡¯s useless for you to love her in your heart. You have to let her know.¡± Sasha was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly covered her stomach with a pale face. ¡°Are you alright?¡± ¡°It¡¯s nothing.¡± She shook her head stubbornly, refusing to show any weakness. Sasha ate a painkiller without a change in expression and chatted with Keyon for a long time. In the end, Keyon saw that her condition wasn¡¯t too good and insisted on sending her to the hospital. Sasha had her own team of assistants, so Keyon almost didn¡¯t need to intervene. But when Keyon left the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, he happened to meet Giselle at the elevator entrance. She was still standing beside Kasey. It was just that Kasey did not know Keyon and was still chatting with Giselle. He and Giselle looked at each other, and neither of them spoke, pretending to be strangers. When the elevator door opened, Kasey calmly took Giselle in. ¡°I really didn¡¯t expect Zeke to lie to me.¡± Kasey said, still sobbing in a low voice, ¡°The things between him and Sasha have always been hidden from me.¡± ¡°Bastard! Now that you broke up with him, it¡¯s much better.¡± Giselle said in a low voice, ¡°Your father won¡¯t let him go either.¡± ¡°But he usually treats me quite well. I actually feel a little reluctant¡­¡± Giselle was a little helpless that Kasey couldn¡¯t put Zeke down even though he had hurt her so much. But there was another person standing in the elevator. Her face was unnatural and she did not say anything. ¡°Then what are you going to do?¡± Kasey changed the topic, ¡°There are still about two months before the prenatal period. You haven¡¯t exined it to your husband?¡± Giselle nced at the man in front of her and clearly felt that he became even more stiffened. She was so embarrassed that she didn¡¯t know what to say, but the elevator stopped at that moment. Keyon walked out without any reluctance as if he hadn¡¯t heard their conversation at all. Giselle sent Kasey into the car and then nned to do her own thing. As soon as she turned around, she saw Keyon standing not far away. Sure enough, she still couldn¡¯t escape. She withdrew her gaze and hailed a taxi by the side of the road. Keyon also followed. Giselle reported her apartment address. ¡°I didn¡¯t see my bodyguards. Did you do it?¡± Giselle asked without changing her expression. ¡°The people around me are very vignt. We must eliminate potential dangers.¡± Giselle ignored him. Keyon stared at her stomach for a while and said withplicated emotions. ¡°You¡¯ve lost a lot of weight.¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± When the driver stopped the car at the foot of her apartment building, Keyon took the lead to get out of the car and extended his hand toward her. Giselle didn¡¯t refuse. She put her hand on his and let Keyon help her. Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. After he held her hand, he didn¡¯t let go. The atmosphere between the two didn¡¯t seem to be tense. ¡°Do you want to go up and sit?¡± ¡°I won¡¯t let go anyway.¡± ¡°Why are you acting like a rascal?¡± Giselle pouted, but she was not angry. However, just as she opened the door, Keyon held her from behind. ¡°Don¡¯t be angry, okay?¡± Keyon said in a low voice, ¡°Don¡¯t hide from me, and don¡¯t ignore me. I don¡¯t have those messy rtionships.¡± Giselle was stunned for a moment, and the indifference that was disguised immediately fell apart. ¡°Let¡¯s talk inside.¡± Keyon felt very insecure and didn¡¯t want to let go of her at all. He followed behind Giselle, so gloomy that he was like a child who had been abandoned. ¡°I¡¯m living here alone now.¡± The space of this small apartment was very tight, and the decoration was warm and delicate. It was obvious that there were often people living here. ¡°Irvin left you here to wait for delivery?¡± Keyon¡¯s expression suddenly turned cold, and when he mentioned Irvin, there was a hidden hostility. ¡°No, I was the one who insisted on moving out.¡± Compared to that day in the hospital, Giselle was apletely different person. She sat down on the sofa and said casually. ¡°I didn¡¯t prepare any tea. You can do as you please.¡± ¡°Am I a guest?¡± Keyon familiarly walked to the kitchen and brought out two sses of honey water ording to her taste. Gisellezily leaned on the sofa and watched his movements. She suddenly asked, ¡°Do you hate me?¡± Her tone was natural as if she was joking. When Keyon turned to look at her, he could even capture the scattered smile in Giselle¡¯s eyes. ¡°Drink some water.¡± He gave her a chance to change the topic. ¡°I left without knowing why. I even tore my marriage certificate and threatened to abort the child¡­¡± Giselle looked at him, ¡°Do you really not hate me at all?¡± ¡°So you still know what you have done.¡± Keyon was clearly angry in his heart. ¡°I am not a fool. Who is truly good to me and who is just trying to use me? I know in my heart.¡± ¡°You also did not exin anything to me.¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t have that effect.¡± She blinked, ¡°Of course, I have to act properly. I just want to know what he wants to do.¡± Keyon¡¯s expression did not have any intention of easing up. ¡°I know you won¡¯t let me take the risk, but this matter is like a thorn in my heart. I can¡¯t ignore it.¡± ¡°What do you know now?¡± ¡°He was adopted by my father. Although he now takes over thepany, he has never been fully trusted by the higher-ups.¡± ¡°So he has to tie you to the side to stabilize the situation. If we divorce now, the Duran Group¡¯s stock will definitely fall greatly. To him, it is killing two birds with one stone.¡± ¡°If I don¡¯t go with him, he will only ssh more dirty water on you.¡± Giselle said coldly, ¡°He can do everything to win.¡± Keyon frowned, only concerned about one thing. ¡°Did he make things difficult for you?¡± ¡°He just tried to control me mentally,¡± she said with a rxed smile, ¡°he didn¡¯t make things difficult for me.¡± Chapter 446 Chapter 446 Chapter 446 Never Leave Me Again ¡®What do you mean just?¡± Keyon was scared just thinking about it. Giselle looked at him pitifully. Seeing her like this, Keyon was not angry anymore. ¡°I will never do that again. Don¡¯t be angry, honey.¡± Her voice was soft as she shook his sleeve and acted like a spoiled child. Keyon was speechless. ¡°How can I be angry with you?¡± ¡°Well, then you betterfort me.¡± ¡°We still have to make it clear.¡± Keyon held her hand very tightly, afraid that she would run away again. ¡°They always say that I have a psychological problem, but in fact, Irvin is the one with the real problem.¡± In Giselle¡¯s view, Irvin always tried to control her in the name of ¡°brother¡±. Not only did he keep her away from Keyon, he even wanted her to choose another husband after she had a baby. ¡°It never mattered to them what I liked or didn¡¯t like.¡± ¡°It matters to me, a lot,¡± Keyon said resolutely. ¡°Honey, you¡¯re the best.¡± ¡°What would you do if I were a jerk and didn¡¯te to you?¡± Keyon massaged her legs, putting on a serious face. ¡°What more can I do?¡± Giselle said casually. ¡°I will find a new father for your child.¡± ¡°How dare you!¡± Keyon deliberately made a harsh tone, but his strength kept light and gentle. For someone as reserved as Keyon, even if he was still immersed in the joy of regaining what he had lost, he would not show too much on his face. ¡°I missed you so much these days. I have lost a lot of weight.¡± ¡°Come back with me today.¡± ¡°I nned to go straight to the hospital and go for the admission procedure.¡± Giselle had already made an appointment with a confinement center. ¡°You go to the office every day. If anything happens to me, you might not be able to take care of me.¡± ¡°My work isn¡¯t urgent. You¡¯re more important to me,¡± Keyon said. ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry about what Irvin will do to me.¡± ¡°Then will you take action against him?¡± Giselle looked at him pitifully. ¡°After all, he is my brother¡­¡± Keyon sighed. ¡°As long as he doesn¡¯t hurt you, I won¡¯t take action against him.¡± Giselle knew that it was hard for a man like Keyon topromise so much. Keyon had a high work efficiency. He immediately had someonee to help her pack her luggage. When he got in the car, he was still holding her hand. ¡°Are you afraid that I¡¯ll run away?¡± Giselle asked. It was meant as a joke, but Keyon took it seriously. ¡°Of course, didn¡¯t you run away this time and even tear your marriage license?¡± he said lightly. ¡°You are still thinking about that, huh?¡± Seeing him so angry, Giselle didn¡¯t have the heart to lie to him anymore. ¡°I didn¡¯t. How could I bear to tear it?¡± She took out something from her handbag that she carried with her. Keyon nced at it and looked at Giselle in disbelief. ¡°Anyway¡­ Never leave me again.¡± He muttered awkwardly, looking very insecure. ¡°We made a big fuss this time,¡± Giselle said. ¡°It was my fault. I have to exin it to Mom.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, she will understand.¡± ¡°We¡¯d better exin it. Otherwise, she must feel that you had been wronged.¡± Giselle tried to persuade him. ¡°I am wronged, indeed.¡± After settling down at home, Keyon held a family banquet ording to her wishes. However, before everyone arrived, he had called them one by one to exin this matter. Therefore, no one mentioned it at the banquet again. ¡°I remember that Alexa and Giselle¡¯s expected dates were both due soon, right?¡± Christina asked. ¡°I have already prepared for it,¡± Terrence said with confidence. ¡°I will take time off during this period and take care of Giselle.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Christina nodded with satisfaction. She trusted them very much. After dinner, Giselle chatted with Christina for a while. Alexa and Terrence left first. Before getting in the car, he received a few calls. ¡°Is there something you need to do?¡± There seemed to be a lot going on in Hudson Group recently. Although Terrence did not tell her, Alexa could still learn something from other sources. ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Terrence acted as usual, and he pinched her face. ¡°My time is yours now. Even if there is something about work, I can deal with it tomorrow.¡± He didn¡¯t want to talk about it, but Alexa was still curious. ¡°Isn¡¯t everything in business supposed to be about timing?¡± After several times of questioning from her, Terrence finally revealed everything to her. ¡°It¡¯s a branchpany in France,¡± he said slowly. ¡°The head of the family nned toe to New York recently, so I have frequent contact with him.¡± ¡°The head of the family?¡± ¡°He¡¯s an uncle of my father,¡± Terrence patiently exined to her. ¡°After the family separated, he and his daughter settled down in France and ran the local branchpany from then on.¡± There was not much emotion in his tone. And she had been in the Ramsey family for so many years, but she had never heard Jason and Rebekah mention this guy. Perhaps their rtionship was not very good. ¡°Although we don¡¯t usually contact each other, he has a lot of authority in the family. Even in the headquarters of New York, many senior officials are his confidants.¡± This meant that this guy could manipte the management of thepany whenever he wanted. ¡°Is that a big problem for you?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not afraid.¡± Terrence was very calm. ¡°With you by my side, I will not lose.¡± ¡°But I might not be able to help you.¡± ¡°You are my morning star.¡± He gave her a steadfast gaze. ¡°Wherever you are is my direction.¡± Terrence talked to Alexa about other topics, but the head of the family was always on her mind. After they arrived home, Jason and Rebekah came. Alexa knew that Terrence and Jason had something to talk about, so she took Damarion to the living room to stay with Rebekah. ¡°Mom, what kind of person is that family head?¡± ¡°Are you worried about Terrence?¡± Rebekah smiled subtly on her face. However, when Rebekah mentioned the head of the family, she quickly became serious. She said, ¡°Although he is very low-key, he has a lot of prestige in the family. All the important internal decisions require his approval.¡± ¡°I have never heard Terrence mention him.¡± ¡°The rtionship between them is not very good,¡± Rebekah said frankly. ¡°Otherwise, we would not have had no contact for so many years.¡± ¡°They suddenly came to New York this time because they were interested in the head office?¡± ¡°It should be that the head of the family wants toy the foundation for his daughter, Nina.¡± They did not talk for long before Terrence and Jason came out of the book room together. Terrence was still very calm, making it impossible to see any clues. He picked up Damarion. ¡°Have you taken your medicine tonight?¡± ¡°He hasn¡¯t yet. Damarion wants you to feed him,¡± Yareli replied. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s do this.¡± Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. Terrence doted on Damarion very much, and the rtionship between them became better and better. Jason and Rebekah left first. Alexa sat on the sofa and watched Terrence and Damarion y with each other. ¡°Terrence, is there anything I can help you with?¡± ¡°Why do you suddenly ask so?¡± He smiled. ¡°Help me with what?¡± Chapter 447 Chapter 447 Chapter 447 About to Labor "Stop puzzling me." Alexa had a clear mind. "Of course, it''s about that master of the family. It''s not a good thing to find her for no reason." "He is not worthy of Mrs. Ramsey''s help, so there''s no need to worry." Terrence always had such a reliable appearance, which was exactly what Alexa was worried about. "I was afraid that you would be alone and the pressure would be too great." "It''s fine." Terrence smiled even brighter. "I feel very happy because it makes you care about me." He fed Damarion medicine and yed with him for a while as usual. Alexa even felt that Terrence was even morepetent than her as a father. "It''s gettingte. Let''s go to bed." He was very familiar with Alexa''s timetable, and he was more reliable than a professional nutritionist. "Shall we go see a psychologist tomorrow?" "Why?" "Many pregnant women have a prenatal anxiety disorder. I''m worried that I''m not helping you resolve these emotions well, so would it be better to turn to a professional doctor?" "I''m actually not anxious. Really, not at all," Alexa smiled and said. Terrence was by her side every day, and they were even more intimate than lovers in love. "If you feel ufortable, remember to tell me at any time." "Okay." The temperature had been very low recently, and Alexa was afraid of the cold, so she went to bed early. Terrence was still busy, so she secretly browsed her phone. Alexa looked for Marin to check on Nina. She did not expect that Marin would directly send a document over. "It just so happens that Edwin was also looking into her. I transferred it to you directly." "Isn''t this too tant?" Alexa felt nervous. She did not want Terrence to know. "It''s fine. He listens to me at home." Before Alexa could read the information, Marin began to gossip. "There is too much gossip in the Ramsey family. This old master of the Ramsey family is old but he doesn¡¯t think like an old man. His daughter is not easy to deal with, either." "Ms. Barrell, I don''t know anything. How can you know so many things?" "If you don''t tell me, I will ask my boyfriend." Before Alexa could ridicule her, Terrence suddenly called, "Alexa." She felt guilty like a thief who had been caught on the spot and flipped through a few pages in a panic. "What?" Terrence had no choice but toe around from the end of the bed. "Your eyes will ache if you look at your phone for too long." "But I''m bored and can''t sleep." Alexa quickly changed the topic, "Are you finished? Can we chat?" "Yes. But we can''t talk for too long," Terrence said patiently. "Is there a time limit for me to chat with my husband?" "It''s useless to act spoiled." He helped Alexa to lie down and then tucked her in. "I''m afraid that you would have me chat with you all night and not sleep." Terrencey down next to her, and his warm fingers scraped her round abdomen. "This past is not pleasant. If you don''t want to hear it, tell me." "Yes." Alexa did not expect Terrence to be so straightforward. "The internal struggle of the Ramsey family has always been fierce. The forces of various sects are fighting openly and secretly, and they are all eyeing power. My grandfather is the first winner." "I heard from Rebekah that your grandfather passed away young." "He met his opponent''s revenge and blocked a knife for his younger brother when they were talking business. His opponent is the current master of the family." Terrence narrated calmly, "But he immediately turned hostile after he took the position and tried to annex all the assets of the Ramsey family. If not for the old subordinates left by my grandfather to keep him in check, I would not have been able to reach my current position." "Then he must havee to New York to deal with you." "People in the worlde for profit. Of course, he wants to have a share." Terrence said calmly. "What''s going on with Nina?" "She thinks she has an opportunity." Terrence chuckled, clearly full of contempt. "But who is she?" "You seem to hate Nina." "Nina''s methods are very dirty." Terrence kissed Alexa lightly. "But don''t worry, I won''t let her get close to you." Alexa still wanted to continue chatting, but Terrence was unwilling to say anything more. "Well, my little girl. It''s time to sleep," he said with a smile. With Terrence holding her, Alexa was sleeping very soundly. It was just that when she woke up the next day, Terrence had already left. Yareli was preparing breakfast for Damarion. novek ebook Seeing Alexae downstairs, she asked with a smile. "Mrs. Ramsey, why are you up so early today?" "I can''t sleep." Alexa looked a little tired. "I feel panicked." Hearing this, Yareli became nervous. "Mrs. Ramsey, I''ll get the driver to take you to the hospital now." "It''s fine. I''m not feeling sick." Alexa waved her hand. After that, she sat on the sofa for a while.Terrence called her soon. "I''ll be back soon. Do you feel sick other than feeling panicked?" "No, don''t be nervous." Alexa smiled lightly. "Maybe I woke up earlier than usual. By the way, when did you leave?" "I have to meet with a client today, so I went out early. I didn''t expect to disturb you, sorry." Terrence said. "Have you finished your business?" "Yes, it''s settled, so I''ming back to see you now." Alexa didn''t usually ask too much about thepany, so she didn''t ask more. Terrence obviously came back in a hurry. "Do you feel any difort?" As he spoke, he was about to pick up Alexa. "Let''s go to the hospital." "I''m fine." Alexa quickly stopped him and even joked. "Damarion will be frightened." As he spoke, Alexa nced at Damarion. Seeing that the little fellow was staring at them curiously, Alexa waved at him. "Damarion,e." Alexa stroked Damarion''s hair and said gently. "In a while, I will definitely spend a lot of time with you, okay?" Damarion gently touched her belly. He probably understood her. That afternoon, Jason and Rebekah came to pick Damarion up. Not only that, but Christina also came. Terrence needs to deal with thepany matters. He can''t be in two ces at once," Christina said with experience. "They don''t need to be worried because I can take care of Alexa." Terrence had already contacted the nursing center and was fully prepared. When there was still a month before the due date, he stayed with Alexa. This kind of high-end service center was already very thoughtful, but regarding her matters, Terrence was still used to doing it personally. "Don''t be afraid," Terrence held her hand and said. "I am here." "Well, I am not afraid." "I have alreadymunicated with the doctor. When the timees, I will be there with you." Although Alexa was calm, she could not help but be nervous when Terrence was so anxious and prepared for everything. The night after she was transferred from the nursing center to the hospital, Alexa began to feel birth pain. Terrence followed her into the delivery room closely. Alexa could not help but cry out a few times, and his heart tightened. "Alexa, don''t be afraid." He was sweating nervously in front of the bed, but he still pretended to be calm and encouraged her. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. Alexa was in so much pain that she could not respond to him. But it was the first time she saw Terrence so nervous and flustered.She weakly patted Terrence¡¯s palm, and only then did she realize that his palm was filled with sweat. Chapter 448 Chapter 448 Chapter 448 Please Let Him Go Fortunately, the whole delivery process went well. When Alexa heard the loud cry, she finally felt rxed. The nurse held the child and said happily. "Congrattions, Mr. Ramsey, Mrs. Ramsey, she is a beautiful youngdy!" Terrence only had Alexa in his eyes and did not pay attention to what the nurse was saying. Alexa was so tired that she fainted, but Terrence had been holding her hand all the time and seemed more nervous than before. "Mr. Ramsey, don''t worry. Mrs. Ramsey is fine. They are both okay." "Okay..." Only then did Terrence rx a little, revealing a smile of relief. When Alexa slowly woke up, the first person she saw was Terrence. "Alexa!" He was overjoyed. "How do you feel now? Are you feeling unwell? I''m calling the doctor over." Alexa shook her head weakly. Her face was still pale. "Where is the child? Is it a girl?" she asked expectantly. "Yes." Terrence''s eyes were red. "A little girl as beautiful as you. Now my parents are holding her. Should I call them in?" "Wait." Alexa held his hand. "I don''t have the strength to get up now, so can youe and hold me?" As soon as she finished speaking, Terrence couldn''t wait to crouch down and hold her. "Alexa." Terrence''s voice was a little choked up. "Thank you." "Alright," Alexa smiled. "Stop crying." Terrence couldn''t help but feel bad and sorry for her and carefully kissed her on the forehead. "Call your parents in. I want to take a look at the baby." The elders of the Ramsey family and the Duran family came. Christina was holding the little girl and smiled very happily. Rebekah happily said to Damarion. "Damarion, you now have a younger sister. Are you happy?" Damarion looked expectantly at the baby in the swaddling clothes, not even daring to touch her. "Happy!" Damarion smiled very innocently. When they entered the room, they were all concerned about Alexa without exception.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. Christina and Rebekah soon gave a big red envelope and put a lot of assets under the name of the little girl. Alexa carefully held her daughter and then called Damarion to her side. "Damarion, do you want to kiss your sister?" "Can I, Mom?" "Of course." Damarion''s movements were gentle, simply treating this cute baby in front of him as a treasure. Alexa looked at this warm scene and felt contended and touched. "Right." She looked at Terrence, "Our daughter''s name has not been decided yet." "Do you have any ideas, Alexa?" Alexa knew that a person like Terrence, who was prepared, must have thought of it long ago. "Damarion''s name was given by me. How about you name our daughter?" "How about we call her Verna?" Terrence''¡¯s eyes were gentle as he drew a few strokes in her palm. "Verna symbolizes spring and green." "It''s good! Vernie, my little sister!" Damarion pped excitedly. "Yes." Alexa nodded. "I like this name too." For some time after that, Alexa stayed in the confinement center. Her body recovered very quickly. More importantly, her family took care of her, and Terrence was even more so. When Alexa was about to leave the confinement center, there was also news from Giselle. Although Keyon had alsoe to ask Terrence for his experience, when Giselle was giving birth, Keyon was also very nervous. "It''s a boy," Keyon called and said. "His name has been decided. It''s Nansen Duran." Alexa was really happy for them and asked Terrence to prepare some gifts for them. At the feast celebrating the first month of the newborn baby Vernie, it was bustling with noise and excitement. The Ramsey family and the Duran family both attached great importance to this child. As her parents, Alexa and Terrence were even more so. Sasha also arrived. "Congrattions." She gracefully congratted Alexa and gave him a pair of long-life locks made of pure gold. "The little girl is so cute." Sasha had a sincere smile in her eyes. Both Alexa and Terrence were very happy that their daughter was praised. "Do you have time to talk about the business in New York? I haven''t had tea with you for a long time. I miss you quite a lot." Sasha talked to Alexa. "Sure." Alexa held the double shares of the Hudson Group and the Duran Group in her hand, and she had great authority in both of thesepanies. There were many powerful people who wanted to get close to her, but after Alexa was pregnant, she did not get involved with these things. Now Sasha''s words were undoubtedly inviting her to return to the business world. Alexa had indeed met a few clients with Terrence. But her body had not fully recovered. She soon went to the lounge after a small talk. However, Alexa did not expect that Isobel would be waiting for her at the door. "Alexa..." Her face was full of smiles, and her attitude towards her was surprisingly kind. "What''s the matter?" Alexa frowned imperceptibly and did not want to talk to her too much. "I just want to ask you for one thing. It is not difficult for you." Alexa did not answer, and Isobel was in a hurry to continue. "Zeke has been in some trouble recently. Dale insisted on suing Zeke because of Kasey cutting her wrist." "It''s not a problem for him to take responsibility for his own mistakes. Moreover, Ms. Molina hasn''tid her hands on him yet. Now, he is afraid." Alexa was indifferent. "But he''s my only son!" Isobel instantly shed tears, but her tone sounded as if she were justified. "It was them who came to provoke my son, causing Zeke to end up like this today." Alexa was annoyed by this and did not intend to pay attention to it. "Alexa, you are now a person with a child. You should be able to understand my painstaking intention." "I can''t understand. What''s more, my child won''t be like him." Alexa pushed her hand away with a cold face. Isobel hesitated for a long time and knelt in front of her. "Alexa, I promise, as long as you are willing to let him go this time, I will take him away from the Duran family and will not cause trouble for you again!" "It''s not that I let him go. Let go of me. Don''t mess with me here." When Terrence came to find Alexa, he saw this scene. "Isobel!" Terrence growled with a cold face and stepped forward to protect Alexa. "What are you doing?" "Mr. Ramsey, Mr. Ramsey, please help me..." Isobel grabbed Terrence¡¯s clothes in a flurry, still begging him in a low voice. "Let''s go." Terrence ignored Isobel and protected Alexa back to the lounge. Not long after they left, Isobel put away her emotions and hurriedly turned into the corridor. "I have already done what you said. You have to help me solve my son''s problem." "Of course." The woman gently curled her lips, and her eyes behind the sunsses hid a meticulous scheme. "It''s not easy toe back. Of course, I have to give my nephew a big gift." The next day, when Terrence entered the Hudson Group, the atmosphere in thepany was dull. The directors were waiting for him in the conference room, and the woman sitting on the main seat proudly showed him a bright smile. Chapter 449 Chapter 449 Chapter 449 I''m Not a Pushover Terrence stood coldly at the door. He did not say a word, but people could feel strong pressure. Nina was sitting at the head of the desk. She wasn''t shocked at all. Instead, she smiled lightly. "It''s been a while. My good nephew.¡± "You arrived two days early.¡± "Yes. I couldn''t wait to see you.¡± Nina slowly walked towards Terrence and sized Terrence up. "I heard that your wife had just given birth to a girl." Nina said casually, "As your aunt, I should pay her a visit as soon as possible.¡± When she mentioned Alexa, Terrence''s face sank. "She doesn''t like to see strangers." "Strangers?" Nina lightly opened her red lips, but there was no suggestion of a smile. "But I''m a member of the Ramsey family, am I not?¡± Nina and Terrence were at loggerheads. After a short confrontation, Nina gracefully returned to her seat. "The profit for this quarter looks really bad. And the stock price has dropped sharply.¡± Nina put on a posture of denouncing Terrence. She was targeting him with her words. "The board has set up a special team as top management. It will take over your job. As for you, you will stay in a subsidiary for two years to research and study.¡± Nina narrowed her eyes sneeringly. She smiled, ¡°Of course, this is also the idea of the head of the family. He has high hopes for you. That''s why he nurtures you so attentively.¡± Terrence knew that they were trying to seize power. Since Nina dared to be so arrogant in front of him, she must have built connections with others secretly. "Is there a problem?¡± Nina smiled, "I''m your aunt. I won''t harm you." Terrence¡¯s cold gaze swept over everyone present. There was no emotion in his eyes. Terrence didn''t shed the pretense of cordiality with Nina. He thought, she should have done it when I was taking care of Alexa. After all, most of the directors have been changed. They may be Nina¡¯s trusted aides. After they arrived at the garage, Edwin still felt angry. "Mr. Ramsey, what should we do? We can''t let them act as they please." But after a while, Edwin still didn''t get any response. Terrence adjusted his tie. He said gently, "Let''s go back." Edwin was a little confused, but he did as Terrence ordered. "Mr. Ramsey, someone is following us." Edwin was keenly aware of that. "We have lost contact with two-thirds of our people.¡± "Nina is really merciless." Terrence remained calm. He wasn''t shocked at all. "Just shake them off. This is the central area. They won''t dare to make a move here.¡± Terrence had dealt with crises like this many times before. Nina''s method wasn''t wise at all, or rather, she was just scaring Terrence. The nanny had just finished feeding Verna when Terrence entered the room. "Why are you back so early today?" Alexa went forward to him. She habitually held Terrence and kissed him. Terrence held her waist. He said, "I was idle in thepany, so I came back to keep you and the childrenpany." Alexa said, "Vernie hasn''t gone to bed yet. Damar is practicing in the piano room." "You must have been tired when I was away." Terrence picked up Vernie carefully. Then he said, "I''ll go and check on Damar." "OK." The gentle smile on Alexa''s face disappeared as soon as Terrence left. Alexa called Keyon. "Keyon, how is the situation in Hudson Group? Has Nina made a move?" Keyon asked, "Did she do anything to you? Why are you so angry?" Alexa adjusted his shawl. She answered casually, "She targeted my husband, so I''m angry." Keyon didn''t expect Alexa to be so concerned about Terrence. Keyon told Alexa the situation of Hudson Group in full detail. And he reminded Alexa, ¡°You haven''t fully recovered. Don''t tire yourself. Let me handle this matter." Alexa said, "I was pregnant before, so I didn''t want to pay attention to these people.¡± Alexa didn¡¯t care about them at that time. "But I have time and energy now. They bullied my husband. I will let them pay the price.¡± Keyon already knew that he couldn''t stop Alexa. "OK. It''s expected of a member of the Duran family." Keyon gave an appreciative smile. "Just do what you want. If there is any trouble, I will help you." Alexa knew that Terrence couldn''t return to Hudson Group for the time being, but she did not mention it. Terrence spent a day with them at home. At dinner, he said seriously, "Alexa, I want to tell you something first.¡± "I know." Alexa nodded and smiled naturally, "Don''t worry. Let''s eat." Terrence didn''t look upset at all.His expression did not change. Terrence said, "Maybe I can never return to Hudson Group. I will lose my power, status, and wealth.¡± Alexa was calm. "You can earn those things back." Alexa filled a bowl of soup for Terrence. "It''s alright.¡± Terrence was surprised and looked at Alexa with appreciation. "Why are you looking at me like that?¡± Sheughed. "Because I love you very much.¡± Terrence looked at Alexa affectionately. "You''re so good, Alexa. I feel that I am the luckiest person in the world.¡± "Really? It''s news to me.¡± Alexa teased him. Terrence was amused by her words. "It doesn''t matter." Alexa wrapped her arm around Terrence''s shoulder. "I''m not a pushover. I will let the bullies pay the price.¡± Nina was smug at this moment. She did not expect that Alexa and Terrence wouldn''t be bothered by the matter. Now Terrence had more time to stay with Alexa and the two children. He didn''t care about what was going on in thepany. The next day, Terrence drove Damarion to kindergarten. All the children in this private kindergarten were from famous families. When Terrence took Damarion out of the car, they attracted a lot of attention. But today, no one came to fawn over him. The news of the matter at Hudson Group had been spread. After Nina intensified it, almost everyone knew that Terrence had been expelled from thepany. Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. People in this industry valued interests above other things. At this critical juncture, no one dared to interact with him. Terrence did not care. He only focused on Damarion now. It was Damarion¡¯s first day of school. Terrence was a self-collected person, but at this moment, he felt reluctant to leave. Damarion evenforted Terrence for a long while. However, when school was over in the afternoon, the teacher called. Hearing that Damarion had a conflict with someone in the kindergarten, Alexa rushed over with Terrence. Unexpectedly, they saw Nina at a nce as soon as they entered the office. In her arms was a chubby boy. Damarion was standing alone opposite them. Alexa''s eyes instantly turned cold. "Damar." She squatted down and said gently, "Come here.¡± At the same time, Terrence stood in front of them and locked his gaze on Nina. "What''s going on?" Chapter 450 Chapter 450 Chapter 450 No One Can Bully My Son The boy in Nina''s arms rolled his eyes at them. He pointed at Damarion and shouted, "This little bastard scolded me and hit me!" "What did you just say?" Terrence¡¯s tone was frighteningly cold. The boy was scared by his fierce gaze. Alexa sneered and looked at Nina with a sharp gaze. But even so, Alexa still smiled gently at the teacher, Chelsea Mirren. "Ms. Mirren, please excuse him.¡± Chelsea''s face was pale. It was so stiff that she couldn''t even smile. Alexa put down her handbag gracefully, rolled up her sleeves, and took two steps forward. "Child, what is your name?¡± "Why should I tell you? Who are you?¡± Nina said, "Cole Fillion.¡± Nina stopped Cole and nced at Alexa. "Sorry. Someone bullied my son in school. He is very angry now." Alexa ignored Nina. "Cole, right?" Alexa asked with a smile, "What did you just call my son?" "I called him a bastard. What''s wrong?" Cole wasn''t afraid of Alexa. And he said arrogantly, "He must be a bastard. Otherwise, why didn''t he take Mr. Ramsey''s surname? He doesn''t know who his biological father is. Right?" Achild at his age wouldn''t say such words. He must have been asked to do so by an adult. "Cole, your family education really makes me worried," Alexa said politely. "Ms. Ramsey, what do you think?¡± "You have no right to judge my son!" Alexa slowly stood up. Apparently, she didn''t intend to let Terrence get involved in this matter. "Damar,e here,¡± Alexa took Damarion''s hand and said. "Tell me. What happened?" Damar''s eyes were red. He was clearly holding back his tears. But in front of Cole, he did not shed a single tear. Damar spoke in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "He cursed you and Dad. He also scolded me, so I hit him." Hearing that, Terrence became angrier. "Cole was just joking. How could you hit him?" As a senior, Nina put on the airs and scolded, "Also, my son is different from yours. ording to their seniority in the Ramsey family, Cole is senior to him. Damarion is too rude." Seeing that Alexa and Terrence did not speak, Nina became more excited. "We are family, so I won''t make things difficult for you. Damarion hit my son. Let him apologize. And we will move on.¡± "Have you finished? You think we will give in. Right?¡± Alexa pulled over a chair. She sat down in front of Nina and crossed her long legs. Terrence stood behind her, making Alexa look even more proud and cold. Nina was shocked and couldn''t say anything. Cole was also stunned by Alexa. "Listen," Alexa said firmly. "No one can bully our son.¡± Nina said, "I''m Terrence¡¯s aunt. How dare you talk to me like this?¡± Nina looked at Terrence. She was so livid that her face turned red. "Terrence, have you heard what your wife said? She is so rude. Do something!" "I have kept everything you said today in mind," Terrence smiled coldly. "I will definitely return it to you." "Return it? How?" Nina could not help butugh, "You have been expelled from thepany.¡± Terrence asked, "So, you think that you have secured your position?" "Damar, next time you encounter such a situation, just fight back,¡± Alexa said loudly. "You did a good job this time. I hope you will win in your next fight. OK?" Nina was furious. However, the next moment, Alexa gave Chelsea a gentle smile. "Ms. Mirren, thank you for your time.¡± Chelsea smiled awkwardly. She watched the family leave with respect. After getting into the car, Damarion was still very upset. And he didn''t dare to speak. "What''s wrong, Damar?¡± Terrence changed his expression. He was so gentle in front of Damarion as if he had be another person. "Dad, I was wrong. I shouldn''t have hit him first...¡± Alexa unhurriedly interrupted, "It''s not your fault.¡± She said that with a dominating air. "Damar, you didn''t do anything wrong.¡± Although Damarion was just a child, he could tell what was going on. Just now, when Nina kept Damarion in the office, she was obviously full of hostility. But both Alexa and Terrence were protective of Damarion. It was ridiculous for Nina to think that they would give in. Sasha learned about this matter when she asked Alexa out for tea. Sasha couldn''t helpughing, but Alexa was calm andposed as if she wasn''t involved in it. "I told you that you are ruthless. You are more powerful than anyone I know.¡± Alexa asked, "Is this apliment?" "Yes. Of course.¡± Sasha elegantly poured a cup of tea for her. "Only ruthless women can secure their status.¡± "Ms. Molina, you won''t benefit much if you cooperate with me now.¡± Sasha replied, "I''m not afraid of Nina.¡± Alexa said, "Isn''t business all about profits?" "But I cared about our friendship.¡± Sasha was right. "I want to deal with Zeke. Some of the evidence is in your hands." Sasha analyzed rationally, ¡°Also, the Lumis family is our enemy. We have to work together.¡± Sasha looked at Alexa. She was curious about what Alexa would do next. "So, has your husband really left thepany?" "He is now taking care of the children at home,¡± Alexa said bluntly. "My mother suggested that the Duran Group could help him, but Terrence refused." Sasha said, "Excellent men are proud.¡± But in the past few days, Nina wasn''t targeting Terrence alone. "The video of Isobel kneeling before me that day was also posted,¡± Alexa said casually. "Everyone said that I look kind but was cold inside. They thought I ignored my family and used unscrupulous means to achieve my goal." "You and Terrence were ndered. And it has damaged your reputation.¡± And the most important thing for a businessman was his reputation. Nina''s scheme worked. "It''s pretty good," Alexa smiled nonchntly. "I didn¡¯t know that I actually had so many good qualities." During the conversation, Alexa replied to a message. In less than two minutes, Terrence entered. Terrence was dressed in casual clothes. He looked younger and more lively than usual. Although he was facing a big crisis, his demeanor was not reduced in the slightest. "You''ve been waiting for me? Why didn''t you call me?" "I missed you, so I came to pick you up.¡± Terrence''s gaze was fixed on her. "You were chatting with a friend, so I waited outside.¡± Sasha was impressed by Terrence''s gentleness. Terrence usually put on a stern and cold face. It was because he wanted to save his gentleness for the person he loved. Sasha knew she should leave now. She said, "We''ve talked a lot today. Mr. Ramsey, I''m giving your wife back to you." "See you next time.¡± N?velDrama.Org owns all content. Alexa put away the contract and walked Sasha to the car with Terrence. However, Alexa was not in a hurry to go home. "Let''s go on a date. OK?" Alexa held Terrence''¡¯s arm intimately. "We have spent a lot of time on the children recently. We need some time alone.¡± Chapter 451 Chapter 451 Chapter 451 A Man With a Family "Okay." Terrence was very obedient to her. "Where are we going?¡± "Where would I go when I was unhappy?" Alexa shed a hint, and Terrence immediately understood. It didn''t take long for them to enter the most bustling food street in New York. "The food at the confinement center is too insipid," Alexained. "The maternity matron is also very strict. I don''t dare to eat anything randomly." Not only that, but Alexa also couldn''t ask Terrence to make her delicious food. "You can''t eat too much today either,¡± Terrence gently reminded. "Otherwise, the little girl will feel ufortable again.¡± Although he said that, if it was something Alexa wanted to eat, Terrence would pay for it. After shopping for half a day, Alexa took him into a public house. It was very quiet there, and no noise could be heard. They chose a seat by the window and sat down, ordering two sses of alcohol-free drinks. "Let''s chat.¡± Alexa supported her chin and looked at him. The two were like a couple in love. She was very good at enlivening the atmosphere and did not talk about those unhappy things. "How long are you preparing to take leave this time?" Alexa asked casually and calmly. "It might take a while.¡± "That''s good." Alexa nodded with satisfaction. She had already arranged the following schedule. "Shall we find a time to take wedding photos?¡± She said in anticipation, "I was pregnant with Vernie, and I am a little out of shape. It will recover after a while." "When did my wife not look good?" "Why are you so good at praising others?" Alexa smiled. There were probably not many men who would not be moved. "There are a few men looking at me.¡± She suddenly mentioned, "I think they want to strike up a conversation.¡± "They don''t dare." Terrence frowned, feeling quite jealous. "Your husband is still sitting here." Sensing his jealousy, Alexa immediately smoothed his hair. ¡°Even if my husband wasn''t here, I wouldn''t bother with them. I''m totally faithful to you," she said with a smile. "Vernie should have woken up." Terrence checked the time and arranged the following schedule. "I will take Vernie to get vinated in the afternoon." These things were all done by Terrence himself. Before, when there was much work to do in thepany, he would spare some time to take care of Verna. Now, he even wished that he could stay by her side for 24 hours a day. "Then I will apany Damarion to the piano ss." When they got up and left, they happened to meet Zeke at the door. There was a strange girl beside him. Judging from her high-end clothes, it was estimated that she was from a rich family. However, after they met, there were no hypocritical greetings. Zeke looked them up and down several times in silence, his eyes full of pride and contempt. "Isn''t today a working day? Why do you have time toe out?" He provoked, but Alexa and Terrence were still continuing their talking, not even ncing at him. Zeke was embarrassed and added. "I know that you have encountered some trouble recently. I have a lot of customer resources here. If you need them, you cane and talk to me at anytime." His words were undoubtedly outraging a few susceptibilities. Alexa suddenly stopped and turned around. Her smile was subtle. "Weren''t you jailed? Why are you released like this?¡± The woman beside Zeke froze on the spot. "Who did you hear this from? Someone actually spread such a ridiculous rumor!" No. The day you went to the police station, the Duran Group''s Public Rtions Department was busy all night. The proposal was signed by me," Alexa said lightly. Zeke had nothing to say. She arrogantly withdrew her gaze and left with Terrence without saying more to Zeke. After getting into the car, Terrence felt that Alexa was obviously unhappy. "Are you angry?¡± "I just can''t bear to see him targeting you." Alexa inly said, "You are my husband. If I don''t protect you, who will I protect?¡± Terrence smiled. "What are youughing at?" Alexa was not so angry in her heart, but she stillined in a soft voice, "Are you stupid?¡± "I just feel that it is good to have a wife to protect me." "I am hungry." Alexa did not want to mention this topic anymore and changed the topic. Terrence did not mention thepany stuff anymore. They went to a grocery store together to buy ingredients and then went home to cook. When Aron heard that Terrence was in New York, he invited him to dinner that night. Terrence wanted to decline, but Aron said that there was an important client who wanted to see him tonight and persuaded him to go over without any exnation. Aron called a group of spoiled brats over to create momentum and then introduced the distinguished guest for tonight to Terrence. Neil Fillion,¡± he briefly introduced. "Hyman Fillion''s younger brother." Terrence knew that Hyman was Nina''s husband. Neil greeted Terrence familiarly. Although Terrence¡¯s attitude was cold, it did not affect his mood. It was always less fun for a group of men to gather together, and it was not long before someone urged them to call some women over. But with Terrence here, Aron did not dare to let them mess around. Seeing that Terrence did not even drink the wine, Aron leaned over to Terrence and joked. "Alexa is so strict with you?¡± "Yes!" Terrence admitted without a change in expression. "I have to go home and take care of my child later. No scent of alcohol should be smelled at home." When the people around heard this, they quickly asked the waiter to withdraw the wine and change it into coffee. "A man with a family is different." Aron joked with the group of friends, "Got it?¡± Terrence did not joke with them but looked at Neil by the side. To be able to get connections with Aron was enough to prove that he was not simple. Terrence looked cold, but he was not frightened at all. "My sister-inw has always been swift and decisive in doing things. She has offended many people." Neil''s attitude was still polite. "Mr. Ramsey, if you have the intention to cooperate, we can talk at any time." Neil revealed a deep hostility towards Nina and did not hide it in front of Terrence. "There''s no need." Terrence refused very simply. Neil was a little surprised and felt angry. Terrence no longer controlled Hudson Group, but he still put on a lofty and aloof appearance. What was he pretending to be for? "Mr. Ramsey, you''re a shrewd businessman. You should be able to understand that opportunities are rare. I really want to help you,¡± Neil said unhurriedly. "No need." Terrence''s eyes were very calm. "There''s no need.¡± Neil smiled and said a few irrelevant words to him. Terrence gave Aron a look and left first. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. In the corridor, he bumped into Sasha and another man. Terrence did not intend to disturb them, but Sasha sprained her ankle and fell unsteadily toward him. Terrence supported her for a moment, and the man had already pulled Sasha back. "Sasha, are you alright?¡± Hearing this address, Terrence looked at Sasha with a more subtle gaze. After Sasha stood still, she very familiarly said "thank you" to Terrence. "I heard that you met Zeke today." Chapter 452 Chapter 452 Chapter 452 Damian Peters When the man beside Sasha heard this name, he was obviously a little unhappy. But she didn''t care too much about it. "Shall we have a drink over there?" Terrence refused. Sasha did not try to persuade him. Instead, she said. "I heard from your wife that you are the one who takes care of the child. Is that true?" "Yes." "No wonder she is not afraid of getting married and being pregnant.¡± Sasha was clearly saying this to the man beside her. Terrence did not respond. But when he walked to the garage, he happened to meet the man just now. "My name is Damian Peters.¡± He took the initiative to introduce himself. He was the second son of the Peters family, and Terrence had some impression of him. "Hello." Terrence politely greeted him and did not intend to talk much. However, Damian had something to say. ¡°How was it going on between Sasha and Zeke?" Damian looked very simple as if he had never been in a rtionship. Sasha seemed to have a special love for this man. Terrence was not curious about these things, but Alexa often talked to him, so he knew a little. ¡°They have seen each other''s parents.¡± "What happened after that?" "Later, they broke up,¡± Terrence said concisely. "Otherwise, she wouldn''t have chosen you." "But she didn''t mention Zeke to me.¡± "That''s your private affairs.¡± Terrence had no intention of meddling in other people''s business. After he drove away, Sasha arrivedte. Damian opened the car door for her, and he looked a little depressed. "What''s wrong?¡± "Sasha, tell me about Zeke and you.¡± There was a hint of astonishment in Sasha''s eyes, but it quickly returned to normal. "I''m a little tired today. Can we talk about this tomorrow?¡± Although Damian was a little reluctant, he still did as she said. "Good boy,¡± Sasha praised with a smile. Damian''s ears turned red as he muttered. "I Knew you wouldn''t answer me.¡± "No, I really like you." Sasha expressed her love very bluntly. Damian was very fond of this. "I heard you sing at the bar that day. I fell in love with you at first sight. ¡°That''s why I care so much." Damian didn''t want to make her angry, but he was still very concerned. "You mentioned him in front of me without hesitation just now. Did you forget him?¡± "Or else?¡± Sasha yed with her nails, her smile unfathomable. "You want me to miss him?" Damian leaned over and kissed her on the lips. "I won''t allow you to remember him." His voice was very gentle, but his words were very cold. "Otherwise, I will find someone to kill him.¡± "So fierce?¡± "Sasha." Damian held her hand and pressed it against his chest. ¡°I am younger than you, but I''m mature.¡± Sasha nced at him calmly and teased. "Do you know what you are doing, little boy?" Although Sasha was very flirtatious, she was extremely cold and aloof. Damian had been with her for so long, and they usually only chatted and drank together. At most, they would just hold hands. R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only Other than that, there was no more intimate contact. "I know." Damian refused to give in, but he slowly let go of his hand. ¡°Let''s go back first.¡± Sasha rubbed the space between her eyebrows. She looked tired. When Terrence arrived home, she told Alexa about this matter. "What a coincidence,¡± she said in surprise. ¡°Just now, Reid sent an invitation to our house and invited us to attend the charity auction tomorrow night.¡± Reid Peters was Damian''s brother. After the Duran Group entered New York, it had always maintained cooperation with these families. "Do you want to go?" ¡°Yes,¡± Alexa said confidently. "There will be many business tycoons present tomorrow. This is an opportunity for us.¡± "Okay." Terrence nodded and agreed with her very much. The next day, when they entered the venue, they happened to meet Nina.She was present on behalf of Hudson Group, so her seat was arranged to be among the most conspicuous VIP seats. Nina tidied her tippet and did not even look at them. "This is not a small ce,¡± she said lightly. ¡°You don''t have to keep up appearances." Nina had almost frozen all of Terrence''s assets. He was nowpletely worthless. And Alexa, an eye candy, was not worth mentioning at all. "We have participated in many top auctions. Ms. Ramsey, you don''t have to worry about us." Alexa replied generously, and her aura was not inferior at all. Nina rolled her eyes at them and sat down coldly. But when she saw Alexa and Terrence also sit at the VIP seats, she called the person in charge over with a cold face. "Are the seats wrongly arranged?" she asked with a fake smile. "Shouldn¡¯t Hudson Group have the first priority? Do we need to sit with unimportant people?¡± Her words were heard clearly by the people around her.But Alexa and Terrence did not pay any attention to her at all. ¡°Arrange a new seat for them.¡± Nina frivolously pointed at Alexa and said arrogantly, "Otherwise, you won''t get a single cent tonight." Those who could make it here were all big shots. The person in charge didn''t want to offend her and was too embarrassed to say anything. "Why is it so lively?" Sasha interrupted loudly, holding Damian''s hand as they appeared.She was also a powerful woman, and she couldn''t stand a bully like Nina. "Ms. Ramsey, what are you doing?¡± she smiled. "What? You just spent millions of dors?" Nina was pretentious and did not want to talk to someone like Sasha. However, Damian did not dare to make Sasha angry. "Ms. Ramsey, seats were only arranged after careful consideration. Therefore, there is no problem." Although Damian was smiling, he looked powerful. "If this seat makes you feel ufortable, I can ask the waiter to take you to the lounge to rest first.¡± Nina pursed her red lips tightly and looked very unhappy. But the noise here gradually became louder, and she was also a little embarrassed. ¡°Forget it, I won''t bother about it this time.¡± She snorted coldly, still putting on airs. "Please forgive me for my poor hospitality." Damian said in neither servile nor overbearing manner and then sat down with Sasha. Alexa and Nina looked at each other from a distance and smiled elegantly with a hint of provocation in their eyes. ¡°How did you provoke her? Was she the one who started the trouble?" Sasha asked. "As expected.¡± "Why didn''t you embarrass her?¡± Sasha yed with Damian''s fingers and said lightly. ¡°Tonight, his brother is the host. You can¡¯t suffer here.¡± Alexa then stared at Damian. "Mr. Peters, it''s a pleasure to meet you.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately noticed that Terrence''s hand on her waist had tightened even more. As aman, Damian could of course detect Terrence''s possessiveness. He politely greeted Alexa and then did not talk anymore. Alexa shifted her attention to Terrence. "What''s wrong?¡± "Nothing." There was no obvious expression on Terrence''s face. ¡°Are you jealous?" "You want to make me happy?" Terrence asked. "What do you want me to do?¡± Chapter 453 Chapter 453 Chapter 453 You Have to Rely on Women Terrence grabbed her hand and did not speak. Sasha heard Alexa call him ¡°darling¡± in a daze. It made Sasha have goosebumps all over her body. Young people always loved romance. Sasha took a sip of champagne and suddenly met Damian¡¯s eyes. He adjusted his sitting posture and looked at her. His face was full of concentration. "Why are you staring at me?" Sasha asked indifferently. Her proud and cold appearance made Damian lose his mind. "You are beautiful.¡± "So what?" "I want to take action to show my admiration for you, but you won''t give me a chance.¡± Damian looked a little frustrated.Sasha kept a serious attitude all the time, and her face was even colder. "There¡¯s something dirty in the venue.¡± Damian nced at Nina. He understood what Sasha meant. "Sasha..." Damian held Sasha''s hand in an attempt to please her. Unexpectedly, Sasha took her hand away. "She made my friend unhappy, and I am also very unhappy.¡± Nina had caused a stir in the businessmunity when she came to New York, and the Molina Group was also affected. Sasha was a smart woman, and now, the Duran Group was her best partner. "I don''t want you to be unhappy.¡± Damian said slowly and called Reid. "It''s settled,¡± Damian said quickly, ¡°Tonight''s focus will be left to Ms. Duran.¡± After all, this was the Peters family¡¯s territory. As long as Reid spoke, everyone would follow him. For businessmen, connections were the greatest wealth. Sasha was calcting in her heart, and her expression finally eased a little. "I''ll take you back to see my parents and my brotherter, okay?¡± Damian said eagerly. "I''ve mentioned you in front of them many times." "You brought me to see your family so early. What if we break upter?" Sasha threw the question back to Damian with great interest. She had no sense of inferiority at all. "Besides, do they know that I am a divorced woman?" "So what? Divorce is not a crime," Damian said seriously. "Moreover, they all like you.¡± "I will meet your brother at the venueter. Let''s do it step by step." "Okay." There was finally some progress in the rtionship between Sasha and Damian, which made Damian very happy. Before the auction started, Sasha specifically reminded Alexa. "Perform wellter. It is a favor that I return to you." Unexpectedly, Alexa had a carefree expression. "We are just here to have fun. We don''t care about winning or losing.¡± Damian felt that Alexa was quite interesting and also chatted with her as Sasha did. Alexa held Terrence''s hand and temporarily stopped talking. "I''m sorry, but I have to take care of my husband first.¡± Sasha''s expression suddenly became subtle. Alexa said calmly, "My husband tends to be jealous. It''s hard to coax him.¡± "It''s really a wrong choice for me to sit next to you." Sasha shook her head and gulped down arge mouthful of champagne. "The air is so sweet that it even bes greasy." Not long after, the auction began. Alexa amazed everyone. She had spent a few million dors in the auction, and she was even more generous than Terrence. There was no need to deliberately draw people''s attention to them. They were already the center of attention. Nina was so angry that her face was twisted. Nina originally wanted to use this auction to gain a good reputation for herself, but Nina did not expect that Alexa, this crazy woman, would always intercept her. Alexa was really rich. After all, Alexa spent a lot of money to make things difficult for Nina. "Darling, are you happy now?" Alexa looked at Terrence with a smile and took the opportunity to touch his waist as a flirt. Seeing that Alexa''s eyes were still shining, Terrence knew that she was enjoying the auction. "Of course. How can I not be happy when my wife spends so much money on me?" Alexa put her hand on Terrence¡¯s shoulder and smiled brightly. After the party ended, Nina represented Hudson Group and donated 5 million dors. Alexa immediately donated 15 million dors in the name of Alexa and Terrence. The media''s spotlight was instantly attracted to Alexa and Terrence. They wanted to dig up the explosive news and inevitably asked about Hudson Group. ¡°Thank you, Nina," Alexa said intimately, "You gave us a chance to settle down. I believe that it won''t be long before we will bring out a result that will make you even more satisfied." Her perfect answer immediately raised Nina''s status. In front of the camera, Nina''s face was about to stiffen with a smile, not daring to show any dissatisfaction. Alexa elegantly held Terrence¡¯s arm and left the venue. The news about them became hot trending on socialwork tforms at night. However, without exception, there was all positive news about them. Many people praised Alexa and Terrence for their good rtionship. But at this time, Terrence showed up at the Ramsey''s mansion alone. After the head of the Ramsey family, Cory Ramsey, arrived in New York, he had been living here. Terrence followed the servant to the reception room and just happened to meet Ninaing out of it.Her face was cold, and her facial features looked very gloomy under the dim light of themp. "Go in." As soon as Terrence entered, the door was closed. "What''s the matter?¡± Cory, the old man, responded to him with heartyughter. "Terrence, there is no need to be so polite.¡± Cory personally pulled out a chair for Terrence. Terrence nced at Cory. Hearing Cory''s words, Terrence was still standing straight and didn''t move. "Nina has a fiery personality and has caused you a lot of trouble. I¡¯m really sorry.¡± Feeling Terrence''s wariness towards him, Cory smiled even more kindly. "Terrence, we are only here to help you. We will not deliberately make things difficult for you.¡± ¡°As far as I know, your focus has always been on the branchpany in France. Moreover, your connections are not in New York.¡± Terrence¡¯s expression was calm. "You don''t usuallye to New York so suddenly.¡± Terrence put on a smile. "Have you been nning this for a long time?¡± "As an old man, I always want to return to a familiar ce." Cory put on a sad look. ¡°What''s more, there is a misunderstanding between your father and me. I came to New York this time because I wanted to repair the rtionship between us.¡± "Why did you fire so many employees of the branchpany in France when thepany is in good condition?¡± R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only "Why do you always have to put on a questioning tone? Can''t we have a good chat?¡± "Don''t change the topic.¡± "It''s because of a few failed investments. You should know that.¡± Cory chuckled. "Reducing the staff is the best choice to maximize the benefits.You are a businessman, and you should also understand it." "It''s gettingte. I still have something to do at home.¡± "Well, I almost forgot that you already have your own family.¡± The rejection and gloom on Terrence''s face grew stronger and stronger. "Bring that girl from the Duran family out for a meal the next day, okay?¡± "Pay attention to your wording," Terrence said word by word with a dark face, ¡°She is my wife.¡± "Yes, she is your wife.¡± The smile on Cory''s face faded a little, and a dark scheme shed through his eyes. "Terrence, although you have left Hudson Group now, you should not fall to the point where you need to rely on a woman to support you, right?¡± Cory''s tone was filled with ridicule. Chapter 454 Chapter 454 Chapter 454 She Makes Me Lose Control "You don''t need to worry about it.¡± Terrence left as soon as he finished speaking. Just as Terrence walked out of the mansion, the cold rain fell down densely. Edwin quickly held an umbre to escort Terrence into the car. "Mr. Ramsey, are we going home now or...¡± Lost in his thoughts, Terrence remained silent as if he had not heard Edwin. Edwin did not disturb Terrence either. Three minutester, Terrence spoke in a deep voice. ¡°Edwin, something is wrong..." "Mr. Ramsey, what''s wrong?¡± ¡°Edwin, go and check the cooperation records of the French branch.¡± "Yes, Mr. Ramsey." Edwin immediately agreed. He suddenly found that Terrence was pinching the space between his eyebrows, and Terrence looked grim. "Mr. Ramsey, are you starting to have a headache again?¡± ¡°It''s fine." Terrence gritted his teeth and spoke. On such a cold day, his body was already dripping with sweat. "Mr. Ramsey, I''ll take you to the hospital now.¡± "No need!¡± Terrence breathed heavily as if someone had grabbed his neck. For some reason, aftering out of the Ramsey''s mansion, Terrence had a feeling that his heart had been pinched. After resting for a while, Terrence asked Edwin to drive to another residence. Alexa was still waiting for Terrence at home. The two children were already asleep, but Alexa was still not sleepy at all. Yareli brought Alexa a ss of warm milk. Yareli said, "Mrs. Ramsey, please rest first.¡± Alexa shook her head in a daze and looked at the rain outside the window. "It''s sote. What is he busy with..." Alexa had sent several messages just now, but Terrence did not reply. "Mr. Ramsey wille back," Yareli said confidently. Usually, no matter how busy Terrence was, Terrence would alwayse home at night. Alexa nodded carelessly. Her thoughts were a mess. Yareli persuaded Alexa for a long time before Alexa retracted her thoughts and rxed. When Alexa woke up again, it was already the next day. Alexa subconsciously touched the bedside, but there was still no one. When Alexa went downstairs, the maid was feeding Verna. Alexa helped Damarion pack up her bag. Alexa asked Yareli, "Has Terrence gone out?" "Mrs. Ramsey, Mr. Ramsey didn''te backst night." "I see...¡± Alexa muttered to herself and called Terrence. Before the call was not connected, Terrence showed up at the door with flowers. Terrence changed into a suit and was still smiling when he saw Alexa. "Alexa." Terrence handed the bouquet of red roses to Alexa and then kissed her intimately. "Sorry, I waste for businessst night and didn''te back in time." Then why didn''t you reply to my message? You didn''t even call me." Alexa fiddled with the petals like a little girl throwing a tantrum. Alexa said, "I worried about you all night.¡± "It''s my fault. It won''t happen again,¡± Terrence said gently. "But for the sake of the flowers, I can forgive you once." Alexa focused on Terrence again. "Why does your face look so pale? Did you not restst night?¡± "It doesn''t matter. There are some things that need to be handled." "If you are willing to tell me, I can listen to you at any time," Alexa inly said. "No matter what it is, we can think of a way to solve it together.¡± Alexa stared into Terrence''s eyes, attempting to capture a trace of deep emotion. But Terrence''s expression did not change. "I will tell you.¡± Alexa said, "Go upstairs and take a rest. I need to go to thepany. My brother has been taking care of Giselle recently. I will take over thepany." "Okay." Terrence nodded and trusted Alexa''s ability very much. Alexa stared at Terrence''s back for a while and always felt that Terrence was very concerned. When Alexa went out, she happened to meet Edwin who came to deliver some documents. "Edwin," Alexa stopped Edwin and said. "Who was Terrence discussing business withst night?" "It was a foreign businessman.¡± Edwin answered with ease, "There are otherpanies under Mr. Ramsey''s name, and the work is still going on." "Okay." Alexa nodded and didn''t talk much. But as soon as Alexa got in the car, she looked grim. Terrence definitely couldn''t have gone to talk businessst night. After all, Terrence would invite Alexa to go with him, and he would even tell her the information about his clients clearly. Alexa drove to the Duran Group, and the door was crowded. When Alexa got out of the car to check, she found that Maybach had hit a Bentley. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. Damian and Sasha stood next to the Bentley, and Zeke stood not far away. Alexa first let the security guard disperse the crowd. After everything quieted down, Sasha looked at Alexa calmly. "You''re here?" After that, Sasha helped Damian tidy up his messy cor. Seeing this, Zeke wanted to rush up again. If not for the bodyguards, Zeke would definitely be fighting Damian again. "Zeke, are you done yet?" Sasha roared and shielded Damian behind her. "Sasha, what do you mean? What do you have to do with this man?¡± Zeke was very agitated. Damian was also unwilling to admit defeat. After Zeke provoked him, Damian wanted to rush over and deal with Zeke. "Damian, that¡¯s enough.¡± Sasha grabbed Damian''s sleeve and did not let Damian mess around. The situation was aplete mess. "If there were reporters nearby, you would already be on the news headlines.¡± Alexa nced at them. Alexa asked calmly, ¡°What happened?" Zeke ignored Alexa and didn''t give her a good look at all. Alexa smelled alcohol. "He is drunk.¡± Sasha red at Zeke in disgust. "Zeke, you''ve only been out for a few days. You''re already out of control.¡± Damian''s car tail had been hit hard enough. If Zeke had been a little crazier, Damian might have died. "Call the police to deal with it. Arrange for the driver to take Ms. Molina and Damian to the hospital for a check-up,¡± Alexa said to the assistant beside her. "No need. Zeke, this is not over today,¡± Damian said slowly. Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Alexa gave Sasha a look and asked her to take Damian to thepany''s coffee shop to have a chat. When the police arrived at the scene, Zeke''s drunkenness was suddenly scared out of his mind. Zeke didn''t expect Alexa to be so serious. "I want to contact my mother,¡± Zeke said with a sullen face. '' Drunk driving is illegal. This is not something your mother can solve," Alexa said grumpily. Zeke said, ¡°Then I want to find awyer. It was Sasha who called to stimte me. She made me lose control of my emotions." "You are shameless, aren''t you?¡± Alexa coldly scolded Zeke and asked the police to take him away. Sasha and Damian also went to the police station to make a statement. Alexa and Sasha still had business to talk about, so Alexa waited for them at the police station entrance. However, Sasha said something when she saw Alexa. Sasha said, "That mad dog Zeke still likes to bite people.¡± Alexa said, "He doesn''t have a good memory. The Duran family can¡¯t control him, but they won''t let him do anything bad.¡° "I''m sorry for you." Sasha looked at Damian and took the initiative to hold his arm. However, Damian looked grim, and he did not smile at all. Chapter 455 Chapter 455 Chapter 455 Think About Yourself Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, Alexa did not rush to talk business with Sasha. Instead, Alexa drove to the hospital. Although Damian did not suffer any serious injuries, he had an ident in front of the Duran Group building. Alexa had someone arrange an examination. When Damian was getting his wound treated in the treatment room, Alexa waited in the corridor with Sasha for a while. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that Zeke would still dare to contact me.¡± Sasha was furious at the mention of Zeke. ¡°I¡¯ve checked it out. It was Nina who found awyer to bail him out.¡± Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. ¡°That day, his mother went to kneel and beg you. She was waiting to set you up.¡± Sasha saw these things very clearly. But even if Sasha knew, she couldn¡¯t do anything about it. Nina was the kind of person who would do anything to achieve her goal. There was only interest in her eyes. ¡°I can handle my own matters.¡± ¡°What about Terrence?¡± Sasha asked, ¡°I don¡¯t believe that he will be a submissive person.¡± ¡°Terrence has otherpanies under his name. Although they can¡¯tpare to Hudson Group, they won¡¯t be too bad.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Sasha nodded. ¡°Jeremy¡¯spany has recently applied for bankruptcy. It should be Terrence who did it, right? ¡°He knows that I have cooperated with you.¡± Not only was it a favor, but it also hadmercial benefits. Why not? ¡°Did you ask Terrence toe and talk to Reid?¡± Sasha said, ¡°The power of the Peters family is not bad either. I¡¯ll ask Damian to talk to them. This deal will be considered as returning your favor.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Alexa smiled politely. Alexa said, ¡°You mentioned Zeke just now. He must be unhappy.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect him to be so jealous. Who doesn¡¯t have a history?¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not as simple as being jealous.¡± Alexa had also seen Zeke¡¯s state. Damian waspletely ruthless. As soon as Alexa finished speaking, Damian came out of the treatment room. Sasha quickly went up to him, but her tone was still indifferent. ¡°What did the doctor say?¡± ¡°It¡¯s just two broken ribs. It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± ¡°Damian!¡± Sasha was so shocked that her face turned pale. Sasha wanted to yell at Damian, but she stopped abruptly. Damian was not only not flustered, but also looked at Sasha with a smile. Alexa asked the doctor to go through the hospitalization procedures. Then Alexa said, ¡°The treatment fee will be reimbursed by the Duran Group. I will arrange a nurse for youter.¡± ¡°Thank you, Ms. Duran, but there is no need for the trouble.¡± Damian pulled Sasha over. Damian said naturally, ¡°My girlfriend will take care of me.¡± Usually, Sasha should beat Damian up now. However, Sasha was afraid of hurting Damian, so she chose topromise for the first time. Alexa paid the medical fees and left. Sasha stayed in the ward with Damian for a while. After answering a call, Sasha also nned to leave. ¡°Um¡­¡± Damian grabbed Sasha¡¯s hand. ¡°Where are you going? You don¡¯t want me anymore?¡± Seeing that Damian was still in the mood to joke around, Sasha answered him. ¡°I have to go to a dinner party. I was dyed from talking about business today.¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you do that another day? It hurts,¡± Damian said pitifully. ¡°Why didn¡¯t I hear you mention it at the police station just now?¡± ¡°Zeke was there just now. If I admit defeat, would I still be a man?¡± Damian thought that Sasha would coax him, but she only responded in a t tone. ¡°Idiot.¡± Damian looked at Sasha and smiled foolishly. ¡°If the reporters took a photo of what happened just now and posted it online, your future will be ruined, Damian.¡± A rich young man fighting in the street would only be aughingstock. ¡°Zeke bullied you like that. Do you want me to endure it? Even if I don¡¯t think for myself, I should think for you.¡± Damian looked more serious. ¡°Think about yourself first. How old are you?¡± Sasha said sternly. Damian was rendered speechless by Sasha¡¯s words. ¡°Fighting can never solve a problem. It will only give you out to a person who wants to hurt you.¡± Sasha liked boys who were younger than her, but that did not mean that Sasha could really tolerate that person being like a child. Damian had never been treated like this in his entire life. Damian clearly had good intentions, but Sasha did not appreciate them. ¡°When I¡¯m not in the hospital, there will be a nurse to take care of you. You should rest well in the hospital during this period of time. Don¡¯t run around.¡± As Damian listened, he suddenly pulled out the needle in his hand. ¡°I¡¯m not staying in the hospital. It¡¯s not a big deal,¡± Damian said with a gloomy face. Sasha stood there coldly, watching Damian throw a tantrum. ¡°If you want to deal with your business, then go.¡± Damian walked past Sasha, not even looking at Sasha. ¡°I know you value your career, so I won¡¯t make things difficult for you.¡± ¡°Where are you going?¡± Sasha asked. ¡°Kill Zeke. Is that okay?¡± Damian said angrily, then mmed the door, and left. Sasha didn¡¯t chase after Damian, but after Damian left, Sasha still asked her assistant to keep an eye on him. When Sasha finally learned that Damian had gone to the bar he had sung in, Sasha couldn¡¯t help but feel angry. ¡°Ms. Molina, do you need to persuade Mr. Peters?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry about him. I¡¯m not his mother,¡± Sasha said angrily. Then, Sasha went back to work. The next day, Alexa still came to the hospital. Although the incident yesterday had already been dealt with by public rtions, it still caused some bad effects. Zeke was rted to the Duran Group. Alexa came here today to talk to Damian about other solutions. But there was no one in the ward. Alexa called Sasha to ask about the situation. ¡°I broke up with Damian.¡± Sasha¡¯s tone was calm. This matter did not seem to affect her mood very much. ¡°If Damian is so impulsive, he will only cause trouble for himself.¡± Alexa did not get involved in their private affairs. However, when Sasha and Alexa met, Sasha¡¯s phone kept ringing. Alexa didn¡¯t need to guess to know who called. Alexa didn¡¯t say anything for Damian. Alexa just asked curiously, ¡°You don¡¯t want to pick up?¡± ¡°I won¡¯t.¡± Sasha directly hung up the phone. ¡°If I want to break it off, I do it quickly. I don¡¯t like to be sloppy.¡± ¡°The higher-ups of the Duran Group jointly pleaded for Zeke and even wanted to hire Zeke to be the director.¡± ¡°Is there a mole in your group?¡± Sasha said lightly, ¡°Zeke, a good-for-nothing who can¡¯t even stand up on his feet, can pull in connections.¡± ¡°Isobel has made friends with a lot of directors secretly, but the one who gave her this opportunity can only be Nina.¡± ¡°Nina helping her like this is very bad for you.¡± ¡°No matter how bad it is, there is nothing we can do. Since things havee to this, we can only try our best to turn the situation around.¡± They sat in the coffee shop for a while. Sasha looked at a text message and decided to leave. When Alexa walked her out, she saw Damian¡¯s car parked at the door. It was obvious that Damian had come to beg for peace. ¡°I can rest assured if Damian is taking you home.¡± Alexa gave Damian a way out. Damian smiled at Alexa and then got out of the car to open the door for Sasha. When Alexa drove back, she received a call from Terrence. Terrence was going to the neighboring city for a business trip and was now on a ne. Why are you in such a hurry this time?¡¯ Chapter 456 Chapter 456 Chapter 456 My Turn to Take You Home ¡°There is an important foreign businessman.¡± Terrence quickly changed the topic. Terrence said, ¡°Is there anything you want to buy? I will bring it back for you.¡± Alexa was a little unhappy with Terrence¡¯s method of not telling her. Alexa knew that Terrence did not want her to worry. However, this behavior of deliberately hiding it from her would instead make Alexa very uneasy. Sometimes, Alexa even felt that Terrence had protected her too well and was even unwilling to let her go through a little hardship. This kind of feeling would sometimes make Alexa feel useless. ¡°When are youing back? I¡¯ll pick you up.¡± ¡°It¡¯s hard to say. It might take about a week. When I¡¯m not there, you have to take good care of yourself.¡± After Terrence sent this message, there was no other movement. Alexa felt empty in her heart. ¡°You also have to take good care of yourself.¡± After this message was sent, there was no news of Terrence for two consecutive days. At this time, Terrence released the document in his hand and rubbed the space between his eyebrows with a gloomy face. Terrence wanted to get the medicine bottle on the table. Edwin said with a worried face, ¡°Mr. Ramsey, you should go and rest. It¡¯s been two days and two nights.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Terrence responded absent-mindedly, poured two painkillers, and swallowed them. ¡°How is the investigation of the branchpany going?¡± Edwin respectfully presented a document. ¡°The few new technological projects that have been closed off are all rted to Jovan,¡± Edwin calmly reported. ¡°Due to the huge amount of investment, the board of directors has conducted an investigation, but the exnation that Nina gave is that the investment failed.¡± ¡°They areundering money.¡± Terrence said with certainty, and the gloom in his eyes only increased. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, what should we do next?¡± ¡°Collect the evidence and speed up the work. Go back to New York early.¡± Terrence had no extra emotions on his face. But Edwin had followed Terrence for so many years, so of course, Edwin could see through Terrence¡¯s inner thoughts. Terrence was clearly worrying about someone. Alexa had been busy these days, and it seemed that this was the only way to not think about Terrence. Alexa knew that Terrence¡¯s silence must be rted to Hudson Group. But Terrence refused to tell Alexa the inside story. Alexa was still a little ufortable. After the meeting, Alexa met Christina in the office. ¡°Mom, why are you here?¡± Christina nodded at the lunchbox on the table. ¡°Of course, I¡¯m here to care about my daughter.¡± After she said this, Christina¡¯s expression became serious. ¡°Yareli told me that you have been at thepany for the past few nights.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve been a little busy with work recently. I¡¯ll be fine after being busy for a while,¡± Alexa smiled. The two children were taken care of by Rebekah and Jason, so Alexa had nothing to worry about. ¡°It¡¯s a good thing to have your own career, but there¡¯s no need to risk your body.¡± ¡°I know, Mom. I know what I¡¯m doing.¡± Alexa ate the food with a heavy heart, and it was like chewing wax. ¡°I heard that Terrence went on a business trip recently?¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Alexa nodded and said. ¡°Terrence didn¡¯t say when he would be back.¡± Christina could hear the emotions hidden in Alexa¡¯s words. ¡°Terrence must have been under a lot of pressure recently.¡± Christina suddenly remembered something. She said, ¡°A friend from the psychology department asked me about his recent situation. Terrence has not gone to the doctor for a follow-up for a long time.¡± ¡°A follow-up? What medicine did he take?¡± Alexa detected that something was wrong. ¡°You don¡¯t know?¡± Christina was very surprised. Christina said, ¡°It is a medicine that suppresses anxiety. Although it is not a particrly serious mental illness, it is very painful when it res up.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never heard Terrence talk about it.¡± Alexa waspletely out of appetite now. Alexa immediately put down the te and fork, changed her clothes, and hurried out. ¡°Alexa?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go find Terrence.¡± Alexa didn¡¯t know how she was feeling right now. There was irritation and shock, but more of it was sorry. There were many things Terrence had hidden from Alexa. Alexa easily found the hotel Terrence was staying at and immediately took a ne over. When Terrence finished the dinner and went back, he found a figure wrapped tightly by the door. Terrence immediately recognized that it was Alexa. There was a sh of shock in his eyes, but soon it was filled with joy. ¡°Alexa?¡± Terrence quickly walked over, but before he could be happy, Alexa coldly stuffed a bouquet of roses over. ¡°Open the door.¡± Alexa¡¯s unhappiness was shown on her face. Terrence silently opened the door. Alexa followed Terrence into the room and locked the door behind him. Edwin stood far away and cast a sympathetic look at the door. Mrs. Ramsey seems to be very angry¡­ At this time, after Alexa entered the room, she sat down on the sofa directly, looking like she was interrogating Terrence. Terrence stood in front of Alexa with the flowers in his hands and calmly looked at Alexa¡¯s expression. ¡°Sit down.¡± Alexa forced a smile. This time, Terrence was sure that Alexa was angry. ¡°No, I¡¯ll just stand. It¡¯s sote. Why are you here?¡± Terrence asked. ¡°Are you not happy to see me?¡± Alexa had just made a sound when she broke her disguise. Tears welled up in Alexa¡¯s eyes as she looked at Terrence with aplicated expression. ¡°I¡¯m happy. Of course. I¡¯m happy.¡± Terrence wanted to go up and hold her hand, but Alexa avoided him. Alexa silently took out a bottle from her bag and ced it on the table. ¡°I went to see Joseph in the psychology department. He asked me to give you the medicine.¡± ¡°Alexa¡­¡± Alexa said, ¡°It was such a serious matter. Why didn¡¯t you tell me?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not serious.¡± Terrence smiled easily. He said, ¡°I haven¡¯t had the medicine for a long time.¡± ¡°I asked Edwin. He said that you have been taking painkillers for the past few days.¡± Alexa did not know what to say to scold Terrence. ¡°I said that if there is any problem, we can shoulder it together.¡± Alexa calmly said, ¡°Don¡¯t hide from me, and you don¡¯t need to hide it from me.¡± ¡°The matter here has ended.¡± Terrence sat down beside her. He said, ¡°I was nning to go back to see you tomorrow.¡± ¡°Then were you going to tell me about the medicine tomorrow?¡± Alexa stared straight at Terrence, and Terrence did not dare to lie in front of her. After a moment of silence, Alexa already understood what Terrence meant. N?velDrama.Org owns all content. ¡°I knew it.¡± Alexa stubbornly wiped away her tears. ¡°Terrence, I hate you.¡± Alexained coldly, ¡°I was worried about you for so long, but you didn¡¯t even give me any message.¡± ¡°I also hate him.¡± Terrence kept staring at Alexa, his tone full of self-me. ¡°He clearly promised to make his wife happy, but now, he made his wife angry.¡± Alexa refused to look at Terrence. Obviously, Alexa was not so easy to coax. ¡°Alexa, I¡¯m sorry.¡± Alexa said, ¡°Then you have to take the medicine.¡± ¡°With you here, I don¡¯t have to take medicine.¡± ¡°No¡­¡± Before Alexa finished, Terrence held her tightly. ¡°Alexa, thank you.¡± Alexa asked, ¡°Then are you happy to receive the flowers?¡± Terrence said in a rxed way, ¡°Of course, I am happy. But you¡¯re angry. I don¡¯t dare tough.¡± ¡°You took me home so many times. This time, it¡¯s my turn to take you home.¡± Chapter 457 Chapter 457 Chapter 457 You Know the Consequences of Lying ¡°Okay.¡± Terrence nodded, his eyes shining. He wanted to work overtime tonight to finish his work, but Alexa did not allow him to continue working. ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. Time to sleep.¡± She directly pressed Terrence onto the bed with determination. ¡°I heard from Edwin that you have been working for two days and two nights?¡± ¡°Why did Edwin tell you everything?¡± Terrence¡¯s tone sounded a little upset and aggrieved. ¡°Don¡¯t try to distract me!¡± ¡°OK, OK, OK.¡± Terrence nodded repeatedly and immediately admitted his mistake. ¡°I know I was wrong. I won¡¯t do such a thing again.¡± ¡°Come back with me tomorrow.¡± Alexa got under the covers and cuddled him. ¡® Nothing is more important than you.¡± ¡°OK.¡± Terrence couldpletely rx in front of her. This was also the only night when he could rx in so many days. With Alexa by his side, he quickly fell asleep. Yet, Alexa didn¡¯t feel like sleeping at all. She had to sleep on her own bed. When she got to a strange ce, it was harder for her to fall asleep. Seeing that Terrence had fallen asleep, Alexa quietly got up and left the room. Edwin was still standing outside the door. When he saw Alexa, there was no surprise in his eyes. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey.¡± ¡°I added some soothing incense to the flower. He should be able to sleep well tonight.¡± Alexa¡¯s tone was still gentle, ¡°Please help me take care of Terrence. Just call me if there is anything.¡± ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, I can deal with those things. Why do you¡­¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± She smiled politely. Ten minutester, Alexa arrived at Enigma Bar. In the dark alley, a group of bodyguards was guarding someone, and the atmosphere was very depressing. When they saw Alexa, they all respectfully nodded and called, ¡°Ms. Duran.¡± When Zeke saw her, he immediately put on a fierce look. ¡°Alexa, how dare you hit me! You¡­¡± Before he could finish speaking, a loud p directlynded on his face. Alexa nced at him coldly and grabbed his hair hard. ¡°Tell me, what are you doing here?¡± she asked with a grin. ¡°Are you following me?¡± ¡°It¡¯s none of your business!¡± ¡°Still talking tough? This is not a good habit.¡± Alexa casually moved his feet, and the sharp heel directly crushed the back of his hand. Zeke was in so much pain that his veins stood out, but he forced himself to keep silent. ¡°Am I too kind to you?¡± Alexa clicked her tongue with dissatisfaction and her expression became grimmer. For several moments, Zeke felt that the woman in front of him was much more terrible than Terrence. ¡°Are you involved in the cooperation of the French branch of the Hudson Group about illegal money laundering?¡± Before Zeke answered, Alexa said with a gloomy voice. ¡°I¡¯ll give you onest chance. You should know the consequences of lying.¡± Zeke was terrified instantly. ¡°I didn¡¯t know they would do this either.¡± ¡°You didn¡¯t know?¡± Alexa pped him with a backhand, not believing Zeke¡¯s nonsense at all. ¡°How dare you dare to earn this kind of evil money? Damn it!¡± ¡°Ms. Duran, what should we do next?¡± The person next to him asked. Zeke was no longer of any value to her. ¡°Transfer the evidence to the prosecutor and handle the legal process.¡± The next day, when Alexa went back with Terrence, the media just happened to expose Zeke¡¯s matter. The matter of moneyundering involved the Duran family and the Ramsey family. It instantly attracted public attention. However, Alexa had already cut ties with Zeke, so the Duran Group was not affected. Yet, Nina was a lot more heartless than her. She exposed what Zeke had done before. Given what he had done wrong, he would be sentenced to eight or nine years in jail. Alexa had just arrived at thepany when Isobel was waiting for her at the door of the office. She did not throw a tantrum like before. Instead, she asked with a gloomy face. ¡°You sent Zeke into prison. What¡¯s in it for you?¡± ¡°Nothing.¡± Alexa shrugged indifferently. ¡°I¡¯m happy to do it.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Isobel was so angry that she choked. She originally wanted to make a fuss of Alexa¡¯s answer, but instantly, she was rendered speechless. ¡°Don¡¯t forget you. My brother made a will. Zeke is a member of the Duran family.¡± ¡°So what?¡± Alexa slightly raised his brows. ¡°Hemitted a crime against thew. Even if he is a member of the Duran family, he cannot be covered up.¡± ¡°He was framed by someone else. Zeke is young. What does he know?¡± ¡°He is already an adult. How young can he be?¡± Alexa did not want to deal with Isobel anymore. So, she said coldly, ¡°You can try sad fishing in front of Nina. It won¡¯t work on me.¡± Isobel¡¯s face was gloomy, and she did not dare to speak. After Zeke¡¯s ident, she almost turned to all the connections around her for help. However, due to Alexa, no one dared to help her. ¡°Just wait and see!¡± Isobel cursed angrily, ¡°Alexa, you¡¯ll be doomed sooner orter!¡± ¡°You have said this many times,¡± Alexa repliednguidly. ¡°I am waiting.¡± The news of Isobel leaving Alexa¡¯s office with tears quickly spread throughout thepany. However, because Isobel had previouslyshed out at thepany and made many enemies, this time, Alexa gained a lot of support. After the board meeting, Alexa did not intend to stay in thepany to work overtime. Quin Howe teased her. ¡°Ms. Duran, are you not going to discuss the contract today?¡± ¡°No.¡± Alexa had a smile on her face as if she had just fallen in love. ¡°My husband is waiting downstairs,¡± she said. ¡°I have to go downstairs to meet him early.¡± ¡°Tsk.¡± Quin was full of envy. ¡°You¡¯re so happy. You¡¯ve been married for so many years, but you are still so intimate.¡± ¡°Marriage must be well managed.¡± After Alexa said that, a colleague passing by smiled and reminded her. ¡°Ms. Duran, Mr. Ramsey is waiting downstairs.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll go downstairs now.¡± Alexa did not expect Terrence to make such a big scene. He leaned against the car, holding a bouquet of red roses in his arms. Even if he stood there doing nothing, he would draw the crowd¡¯s attention. The new interns in thepany were already whispering. Alexa even heard the girls¡¯ envious exmation. She quickened her pace and walked over. Terrence leaned over slightly and handed the flowers to her. ¡°What¡¯s the asion today?¡± Alexa thought for a while. ¡°What anniversary is it?¡± ¡°To pick you up from work, of course, is a memorable event.¡± ¡°Haven¡¯t you been here before?¡± Terrence opened the car door for her. ¡°As long as I can make you happy, every day is worth remembering.¡± Terrence¡¯s romance was always precise and grand, and Alexa was really unable to refuse this kind of sincere and passionate love. ¡°I¡¯ve booked the restaurant for tonight,¡± he said, ¡°It¡¯s the French restaurant you like.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you need to work tonight?¡± T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Thewyers are in charge of the Hudson Group. It may take a bit of time.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa was about to enjoy the night with Terrence when Thalia suddenly called her. Alexa, Ms. Molina is drunk at my bar. Will youe and take a look?¡± Chapter 458 Chapter 458 Chapter 458 Don¡¯t Be So Magnanimous ¡°Why didn¡¯t you contact her assistant?¡± ¡°I wanted to, but she was bad-tempered and didn¡¯t let anyone get close to her.¡± Thalia and Sasha didn¡¯t know each other well, so Thalia had to call Alexa. Hearing this, Alexa looked at Terrence in embarrassment. ¡°Address,¡± Terrence said calmly. Alexa told Terrence the address of Thalia¡¯s bar. Thalia heard Terrence¡¯s voice on the phone and joked happily. ¡°Is Terrence with you?¡± It was quiet in the car. Terrence heard what Thalia said clearly. Alexa nced at Terrence carefully and saw that he was giggling. ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa nodded. ¡°He¡¯s right next to me. We nned to go on a date.¡± Terrence¡¯s smile deepened. ¡°A date?¡± Thalia teased. ¡°You can date in my bar. I learned a new cocktail some time ago. I¡¯m sure that Terrence will get drunk with a ss of it.¡± Thalia went too far. Alexa turned down the volume, but it was useless. ¡°Does Dr. McMin know that?¡± Alexa asked with a fake smile. ¡°Yes.¡± Thalia¡¯s tone became normal. ¡°He was the first one to taste the cocktail. He didn¡¯t wake up until this morning after drinking only one ss of it.¡± Alexa was speechless. Alexa did not know what to say. Thalia continued. ¡°You need passion to keep your love fresh. Let me help you. You don¡¯t have to thank me.¡± ¡°No need.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t feel embarrassed.¡± ¡°I am not.¡± Silence filled the space between Alexa and Terrence strangely. ¡°No.¡± Alexa nced at Terrence and exined, ¡°I didn¡¯t mean that.¡± ¡°I know.¡± After that, Thalia hung up. Alexa couldn¡¯t exin it. She subconsciously nced at Terrence. Terrence said very seriously. ¡°I didn¡¯t know that you wanted to get me drunk with a ss of wine.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t,¡± Alexa smiled awkwardly. ¡°What¡¯s more, you can hold your liquor. You won¡¯t get drunk with only one ss of wine.¡± ¡°That depends,¡± Terrence said seriously. ¡°I can be drunk if this is what you want.¡± Alexa knew what Terrence meant. He looked serious, and she did not want to fall into his trap. When they arrived at the bar, Thalia had asked someone to take Sasha to the break room. Generally, Sasha could hold her liquor. This was the first time Alexa had seen her so drunk. Terrence wanted to go with Alexa, but they met Reid. ¡°You can talk to Mr. Peters,¡± Alexa said. ¡°I will go upstairs to see Sasha.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± After Alexa disappeared from the door, Reid began to talk to Terrence. ¡°After working with Ms. Duran recently, I began to know something about you.¡± Terrence turned his gaze and said, ¡°Nice to meet you.¡± ¡°Recently, Ms. Molina and my brother have caused trouble for the two of you. I¡¯m sorry.¡± Terrence knew that Reid came with a purpose. ¡°If Ms. Duran has a chance, can she ask Ms. Molina to meet Damian?¡± Reid was very polite. ¡°It is my brother¡¯s fault. He indeed caused trouble for Ms. Molina.¡± ¡°My wife and I don¡¯t care much about other people¡¯s things.¡± ¡°Oh, sorry.¡± But Reid admired Terrence very much. ¡°Shall we have a drink when you have time?¡± Reid was not as rich as Terrence. But in this situation, Reid could still resist the pressure and cooperate with the Duran Group, which meant he was a man with plenty of guts. Terrence would not reject such a man. ¡°It¡¯s my honor.¡± Terrence and Reid chatted for a while before Alexa went downstairs with Sasha. When Sasha saw Reid, her expression did not change. She only greeted Reid in a t tone. ¡°Should I get someone to send you back?¡± Alexa asked. ¡°No need.¡± Sasha waved her hand. She had sobered up after taking the anti-alcoholic drug. Sasha was a proud person and would never allow herself to show weakness in public. ¡°My assistant is on the way here. Sorry to trouble you. You and your husband can go.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa nodded and asked Thalia to appoint a waiter to take care of Sasha. After that, Alexa held Terrence¡¯s hand and left. After getting in the car, Terrence asked. ¡°What happened between her and Damian?¡± Terrence felt that Damian loved Sasha dearly when they met at the auction house that day. ¡°They quarreled, but they¡¯ll make it up soon,¡± Alexa said. She knew them very well. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. As Alexa said, Damian came. Sasha was still waiting for her assistant and was unwilling to go with Damian. Damian did not urge Sasha. He sat down in front of Sasha and stayed with her. Thalia saw that there was something going on between them and asked the waiter to serve two drinks. ¡°Can you go back with me?¡± Damian waited for a long time before he spoke humbly. ¡°No.¡± Sasha refused coldly, not even looking at Damian. ¡°I heard that you just drank a lot. I brought you some anti-alcoholic drugs and hot cocoa you like.¡± ¡°Did your brother ask you toe here?¡± ¡°No. I wanted to see you, so I came.¡± Damian¡¯s ribs were not healed yet, so he did not dare to speak loudly now. ¡°Didn¡¯t you sing at the bar? Have you recovered?¡± Sasha still cared about this. ¡°Not yet.¡± Damian smiled apologetically, not daring to talk back. Damian was still wearing a formal suit. Sasha guessed that he came after meeting his client. ¡°I thought you ran away with someone else.¡± ¡°How would I dare?¡± ¡°Why not? I didn¡¯t force you to stay by my side,¡± Sasha said tly. ¡°Zeke¡¯s things involve a lot ofpanies, so I helped my brother in thepany these days.¡± ¡°What about you?¡± ¡°Me?¡± ¡°Your injury.¡± Sasha frowned. Sasha reached out and pressed Damian¡¯s chest. Damian lowered his head. ¡°It hurts!¡± Damian cried out in pain and gasped. ¡°It hurts. You don¡¯t care about me these days, so it hurts even more.¡± ¡°You ask for it.¡± Sasha moved her hand away and hit Damian on the shoulder. ¡°I don¡¯t.¡± ¡°You¡¯re smiling.¡± Damian moved closer to Sasha. ¡°You won¡¯t be angry if you smile. I know it.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t overestimate yourself.¡± Sasha proudly got up and walked out. Damian hurriedly followed her. Both of them were quite good-looking. Sasha was elegant, while Damian was handsome. When the two of them walked together, they attracted envious looks. Damian suddenly became unhappy and pulled Sasha over without saying anything. ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°Those men are looking at you. I¡¯m jealous.¡± ¡°Many girls are also looking at you, but I don¡¯t mind. I¡¯m quite magnanimous,¡± Sasha teased calmly. ¡°Leave them alone. I don¡¯t want you to be so magnanimous.¡± Damian held Sasha even tighter. Chapter 459 Chapter 459 Chapter 459 I Won''t Let You Go ¡°Are all boys like this?" Sasha asked coldly, her lips curling slightly. ¡°I''m not a boy. I''m your man," Damian said firmly. Damian wanted to personally drive Sasha back, but Sasha didn''t allow him. "You have to take care of yourself and have a good rest. Or you will hurt yourself again,¡± Sasha said worriedly. "Will you be responsible for me?" "No." T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. "It makes me sad." Damian curled his lips as he felt wronged, but he still obediently sat in the back row with Sasha. It was hard to please Sasha when she was angry. Sasha finally rxed her attitude. Damian did not want to provoke her again. After sending Sasha to the door of her home, Damian stood still sensibly and did not go in without permission. "Can you take care of yourself?" Damian asked. "Sure. Go back to sleep early. Don¡¯t go anywhere." "Will youe to see me tomorrow?" "If I''m free.¡± Damian left happily.However, Damian was not in a hurry to go back. Instead, he went to have a drink with Reid. "Sasha isn¡¯t angry? Look at you. You are smiling happily,¡± Reid teased. "Sasha has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She''s quite worried about me.¡± When mentioning Sasha, Damian always had a proud expression on his face. "When will you bring her back to meet our dad? He''s been talking about this.¡± "Maybeter. Sasha has been a little busytely," Damian said considerately. Quentin Rugg interrupted when he heard them talking about Sasha. "Are you talking about Sasha from the Molina Group?" "Yeah. Do you know my girlfriend too?" Damian nodded. As Quentin heard the word girlfriend, his face changed. "My girlfriend knows her. You know what, she has a bad reputation." Damian narrowed his eyes coldly. "We''ve been friends for so many years. Damian, your conditions are very good. Don''t date such a girl of loose morals," said Quentin. Hearing this, Reid was obviously a little unhappy. Sasha was Damian''s girlfriend. Reid chose to believe Sasha. "You know her ex-boyfriend, Zeke, right? She had an abortion before. It was Zeke''s baby." Reid''s face suddenly tightened. Damian''s face darkened. "Your family cooperates with the Duran Group. You can ask the Duran Group''s CEO, Alexa. She is Zeke''s sister. She must know this." Seeing that Damian didn''t look well, Reid winked at Quentin, asking him to stop. Although Damian did not say anything, things turned sour. "Go and have a good talk with her. Don''t be as impulsive as before.¡± Reid patted Damian''s shoulder. "OK." Damian answered with a gloomy face and left. Damian was present at the business meeting the next day.But Damian was not with Sasha, which made Alexa feel strange. "You haven''t made it up yet?" Alexa asked, but Damian''s face was cold. It seemed that he didn''t want to talk to her. Terrence stood beside Alexa. Damian left without saying anything. "What happened?" Alexa muttered in a low voice, but she was not angry. Terrence held Alexa¡¯s hand and protected her. Terrence didn''t care about other people''s things. "Shall we go outside for some fresh air?" The hall was full of the smell of alcohol. Terrence knew that Alexa didn''t want to stay here. But as soon as they walked out of the back door, they met Sasha. "So you''re here? No wonder I didn''t see you in the front hall. Why are you hiding here?" Alexa was surprised. ¡°I''m not hiding." Sasha looked a little tired. Alexa saw that Sasha was holding an unlit women''s cigarette in her hand. ¡°Damian just arrived." "Oh." When Sasha heard this name, her face became much colder. Alexa knew that there was something wrong with the two of them. However, Sasha didn''t talk too much. After chatting for a while, she left. "Reid talked to me about Damianst night," Terrence suddenly said. ¡°People who are in love need to learn to get along with each other,¡± Alexa said lightly. ¡°If they can, continue to date. If not, just part as friends." Instant love wasmon in today¡¯s society. Alexa sighed with emotion, but Terrence took it seriously. Terrence silently held Alexa from behind and asked in a somewhat disappointed tone. "Do you think so too?" "What do you mean?" "Part as friends." "I have never thought about this in our rtionship.¡± "Don''t leave me.¡± Terrence felt insecure and tightly held Alexa''s hand. "We married at the registry. We are a legitimate couple," Terrence said in a deep voice. "I won''t let you go all my life." "I know." Alexa had a way with Terrence. He would listen to whatever she said. "I know that after Vernie was born, you are under a lot of pressure." Since Alexa got pregnant and gave birth to Verna, Terrence had worked hard. Most of the time, it was Terrence who took care of Verna. Terrence did not want to see that Alexa was tired, and he would be worried if someone else took care of Terrence. "Vernie is my only daughter." When Terrence mentioned Verna, histone became much softer. "Vernie is like you. She''s the apple of my eye.¡± Alexa also liked Verna, but she had to mention Damarion. "We also have Damarion. You have to treat them equally." ¡°Sure.¡± "My mother always said that Damarion is more like you. This is good," Alexa smiled. "I always made my parents worried when I was a child." "So does Damarion. See, he¡¯s like you,¡± Alexa teased. "It takes time." When the two of them went to the front hall again, Sasha had left. Damian came over and asked Alexa. "What are you going to do with Zeke?" "It depends on thew." "I heard that Isobel hired a very skillfulwyer for him at a high price." Alexa smiled. She didn''t care. "No matter how skillful awyer is, he can''t confuse truth and falsehood.¡± "Nina is to me." Damian was obviously very unhappy. "She asked someone to introduce thewyer to Isobel." Damian thought that they would harbor Zeke. When Alexa went to the bathroom, Damian talked to Terrence. "Mr. Ramsey, I know that Nina is your aunt, but if she interferes in Zeke''s things, I will turn against you." Terrence was expressionless. "What are you going to do? Whip up public opinion to blow this thing up?" Damian did not speak, but Terrence knew that he was right. "That''s not what Nina cares about. She only focuses on interests and approval rating,¡± Terrence said lightly. "You''re in charge of the Hudson Group, aren''t you? Don''t you feel sorry?" "I have been ready to close it. She will meet her doom soon." Terrence said with ease. When he saw Alexae out, he immediately walked over to her with a smile. Chapter 460 Chapter 460 Chapter 460 You Think I''m a Drag "Damian, Sasha is waiting for you downstairs," Alexa said. However, Alexa could tell from Damian''s gloomy face that he was in a bad mood. "I just talked to Sasha about Zeke, but she refused to tell me anything about it." Damian assumed that Sasha was afraid to let him know the truth. Even so, Damian hated to believe that Sasha was a loose woman.Sasha was charming and seductive. And she had always been sweet and nice ever since Damien started dating her. "You fought with Sasha because of Zeke?" When Damian asked Alexa, Alexa had already guessed. ¡°Look. I''m not trying to put in a good word for Sasha, but I do hope you can talk to her. After all, Sasha was the one who has been in great pain. She must have suffered a lot, both mentally and physically," Alexa persuaded. "I know.¡± ¡°Anyway, thank you," Damian said and then went downstairs. "We should go home too,¡± Terrence suggested. Terrence and Alexa walked hand in hand. After a while, Terrence felt Alexa was getting slower. "What''s wrong?¡± "My feet hurt," Alexa answered. There was no one in the garage but Alexa and Terrence, so Alexa was about to take her high heels off.However, Terrence carried Alexa in his arms before she could remove her shoes. "Wait, don''t..." Alexa said in a low voice, "What if someone sees this? It''s so embarrassing.¡± "Then why are you hugging me so tight?" Terrence teased, smiling. "I''d fall to the ground if I didn''t." "Oh,e on. Have some faith in me." Terrence walked slowly, which made Alexa feel safe. "You have nothing to worry about when I''m with you." After carrying Alexa into the passenger seat, Terrence carefully helped her take off her high heels. ¡°Don''t throw them away," Alexa said hurriedly. ¡°Actually, I love the design of this shoe. Maybe it¡¯s because I''ve been gaining weight recently. That''s why it keeps rubbing against my heel." ¡°It isn''t your fault." Terrence said slowly, "There''s a problem with the design. You look great in whatever you wear. You''re too good for this pair of shoes." Even so, Terrence didn''t get rid of Alexa¡¯s shoes. Instead, he carefully put them away as Alexa expected. When they got back home, Alexa found that Edwin had sent many new shoes to the Ramsey¡¯s house as Terrence ordered. "If Nina saw this, she would definitelyin that I splurged on meaningless things again.¡± Alexa was sure that Nina would bad-mouth her. "Who does she think she is?" Terrence sneered, ¡°No one gives a damn about what she says." Hearing this, Alexa put down what she was holding and hugged Terrence lovingly. "Are you mad?" "No. I just feel that she''s been getting too carried.¡± ¡°Let''s not talk about her then.¡± "I''ll get rid of Nina as soon as possible." Though Terrence said this in a steely tone, Alexa could sense Terrence''s murderous aura. ¡°I''m 100% sure Nina was involved inundering money at the branchpany.¡± Alexa said, ¡°It''s only a matter of time before we find evidence." "You''re so smart, honey." "Save it." Alexa patted Terrence on the shoulder. "You already knew that. You''re waiting for me to say it." T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. Terrence smiled and said nothing. At the same time, Damian went to a bar with Sasha. When Damian went in, his friends greeted him warmly. They also warmly greeted Sasha. Some of them even called Sasha "Mrs. Peters". However, Damian didn''t smile, and Sasha looked indifferent. Damian''s friends felt awkward. Sasha sat by the window and nned to get a bartender to light her cigarette. Damian didn''t like Sasha smoking in front of him, so he took Sasha''s cigarette away. "What are you doing?¡± Sasha frowned. "Nothing." Damian squeezed the cigarette and threw it in the trash. After that, he sat down in front of Sasha. "Can we talk?" ¡°I''m gonna level with you, Damian. I''ll never tell you the truth if you haven''t found out." Sasha''s voice sounded distant. "After all,no woman will want to go through the pain again." "I understand that, but I think I should''ve known,¡± Damian said lightly. Sasha didn''t reply. She had already guessed that Damian would react in this way. However, Sasha''s pride would never allow her to look like a miserable woman. "I knew from the start that we''d end up breaking up.¡± Sasha pretended to smile coldly and continued, "I don''t wanna waste my time with a drag anymore." "You think I''m a drag?" Damian got angry. "I don''t wanna argue with you. I''ve made my decision." There was a slight tremor in Sasha''s voice. However, Damian was too furious to notice it. ¡°Alright, that''s what I wanna say. I still have something to do, so I gotta go." Sasha rose to her feet. Nevertheless, Damian kept asking her. "What do you mean by that?" "We''re over. Got it?¡± she said. Sasha shrugged indifferently and left. Damian was in a daze. It took Damian a long time to realize that he had been dumped. As soon as Alexa got home, Sasha sent her a message. "I broke up with Damian." "Was Damian okay with that?" In Alexa''s opinion, Damian was a stubborn man who wouldn''t easily agree to break up with Sasha. What Damian said kept reying in Alexa''s head. Alexa felt that Damian was going to give Zeke a hard time. "I think Damian will never forgive me, which is good.¡± "Don''t worry. You deserve better." Alexa tried tofort Sasha, but Sasha didn''t sound sad. When Terrence put the children to sleep and came back, Alexa and Sasha were still texting. Terrence sat down next to Alexa. Then Alexa told Terrence that Damian and Sasha had broken up. "You want me to weigh in on Sasha''s decision?" "No, but Sasha''s decision really matters." Alexa was deep in thought. ¡°What if Damian stops the Peters family from working with the Duran Group out of spite?" she continued. ¡°Damian won''t do that," Terrence said firmly. "He can separate business from his personal life." "Why are you so sure?" "Just a hunch." "Zeke should take all the me.¡± Alexa said angrily, "I can''t believe Isobel just let this spoiled brat get his way." "Zeke can''t get away this time. The evidence is overwhelming.¡± Tell me. Do you have anything to do with this?" Although Terrence didn''t answer her, Alexa already knew the answer. After all, it was Nina who got Zeke out of the police station. Terrence wouldn''t just sit around and do nothing. "Is Cory also in New York?" she asked curiously. ¡°Are we gonna meet him sooner orter?" "Don''t worry, he can''t get close to you. Not on my watch." Alexa sensed that Terrence hated Cory very much. Thus, Alexa didn''t keep asking. Later, Alexa told Sasha about what Terrence thought of Damian. However, Sasha didn''t take it too seriously. "Terrence has overestimated Damian. He''s only a fool. Can''t you believe Damian''s still calling me now?" "That means he cares about you." "So what? I don''t care about him." It broke Sasha''s heart every time she thought about the miscarriage. Sasha had never gotten over losing her stillborn baby. Moreover, Sasha was already 30, but Damian was five years younger than her. There was no denying that the Peters family would never allow Damian to be in a rtionship with a divorced woman who had a miscarriage. In fact, Sasha wasn''t as proud as she looked. On the contrary, Sasha was just a vulnerable and sensitive woman. Sasha hung up on Damian again. However, she got Damian''s text. "I wanna see you, Sasha. I''ll meet you downstairs." "We''re over. I''ve got nothing to say to you." "When will youe down to see me? I just need five minutes." Sasha didn''t want to give Damian any hope, so she didn''t text him back. Sasha turned off the lights and went to sleep. Chapter 461 Chapter 461 Chapter 461 She Didn¡¯t Pester Me Sasha tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Not long after, it began to rain and thunder outside the window.She thought that in such bad weather, Damian must have left. The Molina Group had a cooperative rtionship with the Peters family. The next day, the Peters Group sent their general manager to the Molina Group. The manager exined with a very good attitude. ¡°I¡¯m so sorry, Ms. Molina. Mr. Peters is sick. Today, thepany sent me to rece him.¡± ¡°Sick? What happened?¡± Sasha asked in a t tone. ¡°It is said that he was caught in the rainst night and had a fever. He is now in the hospital.¡± Sasha did not reply, not even showing any concern. However, after signing the contract, she sent her secretary to check Damian¡¯s ward. The secretary had followed her for many years. He immediately understood her meaning and asked. ¡°Ms. Molina, are you going to send the flower over personally or¡­¡± ¡°Let the vice president go,¡± Sasha replied without hesitation. ¡°Just send it over in the name of the company.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± The secretary agreed, but he was not in a hurry to leave. Sasha thought about it and changed her mind. ¡°I¡¯ll send it over after work.¡± After all, Damian tortured himself like this because of her. When Sasha arrived at the hospital with flowers and fruit baskets, she happened to meet Alexa and Terrenceing out of Damian¡¯s sick room. ¡°Hi, Sasha!¡± Alexa greeted and didn¡¯t feel surprised. ¡°How is he?¡± ¡°He felt better, but the doctor said that the critical period has not yet passed.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go see him.¡± Sasha was worried, but when she pushed open the door, Damian immediately turned around. She quietly put the flowers and fruit baskets on the cab, but Damian said coldly. ¡°Take them away. I don¡¯t want them.¡± ¡°You had been waiting downstairs at my house all night?¡± Damian sneered. ¡°Do you think I have to be with you? How can I do such a stupid thing like waiting downstairs for a whole night?¡± ¡°I checked the surveince. Or is that person not you?¡± Sasha hit the nail on the head. Damian fell into silence. Hey down, feeling dizzy. At the same time, he was so annoyed, and he could not stand it. But Sasha was still there. He did not want her to leave, but he was not willing to make a fool of himself in front of her. After a while, Sasha was the first to give in. ¡°I came to see you on behalf of thepany. Take good care of yourself.¡± ¡°It¡¯s none of your business.¡± Damian felt that his attitude was very bad. If it were any other time, Sasha would have taught him a lesson with a gloomy face.But she did not this time. ¡°Okay. Then see you next time,¡± Sasha said in a normal tone. As soon as she left the ward, several nurses rushed over anxiously. She asked, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Mr. Peters said he was not feeling well, so we came to take a look.¡± Sasha hesitated for a moment, but she still went back to the ward with the nurses. Damian fell unconscious on the ground. The nurses helped him up in a hurry and then sent him to the emergency room. ¡°Are you his family member? Pleasee over here.¡± Sasha followed them and contacted Reid at the same time. Damian was in aa due to a fever. He probably wanted to get out of bed just now but was out of strength, so he fell to the ground. ¡°Family members have to stay by his side,¡± the doctor said seriously. ¡°You can¡¯t leave a patient with a fever alone.¡± Sasha nodded and went back to the ward with them.She took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Damian¡¯s forehead. Unexpectedly, her wrist was held by him. Although Damian was in aa, Sasha still couldn¡¯t get rid of him. Sasha cried out in pain, but he still refused to let go. ¡°Don¡¯t go¡­¡± When Reid came in, Damian was still holding Sasha¡¯s hand. Sasha looked embarrassed. ¡°Ms. Molina, I¡¯m sorry to trouble you.¡± Reid said politely, but he was no longer as friendly as before. After all, Damian¡¯s current condition was because of Sasha. Sasha tried her best to pull Damian¡¯s hand away. ¡°Since you¡¯re here, then I¡¯ll be leaving first.¡± ¡°You can ask forpensation for dying you from the Peters Group.¡± Sasha pretended that she did not hear anything, and left without a word. Coincidentally, she met Jeremy downstairs in the in-patient department. ¡°What are you doing in the hospital? You can¡¯t get pregnant, so you¡¯re here for a physical examination again, right?¡± Jeremy asked. His words were cruel to Sasha. She was in a bad mood today, and now she just wanted to vent her anger on him. ¡°I came to see my man. What does it have to do with you?¡± In an instant, the smile on Jeremy¡¯s face disappeared. The news had long been spreading that Sasha was a y woman, who had affairs with many men when they were married. He noticed the red mark on Sasha¡¯s wrist,ughing mockingly. ¡°It seems that your man doesn¡¯t treat you so well. Why don¡¯t you break up early?¡± ¡°Get lost.¡± When Reid came out of the ward, he happened to see Sasha lose her temper. His impression of Sasha was not good, and he felt even more disgusted about her at that moment. Jeremy nced at Reid, thinking that Reid was Sasha¡¯s new boyfriend. R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only ¡°There¡¯s no point in hiding something like that. Why don¡¯t I go talk to him?¡± ¡°Jeremy, how dare you! I¡¯ll kill you,¡± Sasha said as she gritted her teeth. She just couldn¡¯t bear to see Jeremy acting so cheap in front of her, but her reaction was typical of a guilty conscience in Reid¡¯s eyes. Reid deliberately coughed and made some noise. Sasha turned back to look at him. Then she immediately stopped talking, leaving in a hurry. Jeremy red at Reid with hostility, not wanting to talk to him. ¡°Do you know Ms. Molina?¡± Reid asked. ¡°Don¡¯t you know that I am her ex-husband? Or is she saying that I am dead?¡± Jeremy teased. ¡°Do you know what happened between her and Zeke?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t the thing between her and Zeke spread everywhere long ago?¡± Jeremy was full of anger as he spoke, but when he saw Reid looking at him with a serious face, he suddenly felt a little pity for Reid. ¡°So you don¡¯t know anything, right?¡± Jeremy asked mockingly. ¡°Tell me about it?¡± ¡°She is pregnant with Zeke¡¯s child, so what¡¯s the point of talking about it? She is just a cheap woman.¡± Reid pursed his lips tightly, and his eyes darkened. When Reid turned around and walked to the ward, Jeremy added. ¡°I suggest that you break up with her early. She is quite ruthless, and she¡¯s a skillful liar.¡± The ward was not soundproof, and the door was half-closed. Damian heard everything. ¡°What about now? Can you let it go?¡± Reid asked lightly. ¡°What can I do if I don¡¯t give up?¡± Damian stared nkly at the ceiling, feeling a headache. Seeing that he still had some unrealistic fantasies, Reid advised. ¡°Just let it go. Don¡¯t make it too troublesome, or it won¡¯t be good for your reputation.¡± ¡°She didn¡¯t pester me,¡± Damian sneered, ¡°She¡¯s so cool. She was the one who proposed the breakup. No matter how hard I tried, there was no way to get her back.¡± Reid did not speak. A momentter, Damian said to himself. She¡¯s quite heartless. Chapter 462 Chapter 462 Chapter 462 Protective ¡°It¡¯s inevitable that those women in the bar¡­¡± Seeing that Damian¡¯s expression was gloomy, Reid did not finish speaking. ¡°I¡¯ll let the nurse take care of you these days. Don¡¯t think too much.¡± Although Reid had said so, Damian was still involved in the matter of Zeke. Damian had almost used all his connections to gather evidence of Zeke¡¯s crimes. Even though thewyer Nina hired was excellent, it was hard to reverse the situation. On the day of Zeke¡¯s trial, Sasha also came. Finally, Zeke got a ten-year imprisonment. After the court, she said ¡°congrattion¡± to Isobel in particr. Isobel was so excited that she wanted to attack Sasha but was stopped by Alexa. ¡°It¡¯s all media outside. Do you think this matter is not embarrassing enough?¡± Alexa threatened coldly, which instantly stopped Isobel. ¡°Alexa, my son¡¯s matter is rted to you!¡± Isobel pointed at her and scolded, ¡°You won¡¯t have a good ending.¡± ¡°Then just wait and see.¡± Terrence nced at Isobel sharply, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Nina came over to meet them arrogantly. ¡°You are much more snobbish than I thought,¡± Nina said deliberately, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that you would deal with your family ruthlessly.¡± ¡°Ms. Ramsey, how can Ipare to you when ites to dealing with our own family?¡± Alexa said with a smile. Nina sneered.She did not even take Alexa as her opponent. Terrence stood next to Alexa. His hostility towards Nina was showing on his face. Nina acted as if she did not see anything. She smiled at them and then walked away. Isobel was very dissatisfied with Nina. Nina had agreed to save her son, but Nina didn¡¯t. Isobel changed her attitude on the spot. ¡°Alexa, I knew that Zeke hurt Sasha, but we can negotiate about it, right?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not a judge. It¡¯s useless to talk to me.¡± Alexa pushed her hand away with a cold face and left with Terrence. As soon as they appeared, the media surrounded them immediately. Sasha¡¯s arrival soon attracted their attention too.She nodded silently as a greeting to Alexa Terrence. Their actions seemed confusing to others. It seemed that Alexa had a good rtionship with Sasha, and they did not break up with each other because of Zeke. The rumors that Alexa shielded Zeke proved to be fake at this time. ¡°Will Mr. Ramsey be the chairman of Hudson Group?¡± Someone suddenly asked in the crowd. Alexa smiled and blocked in front of Terrence. ¡°Sorry, noment.¡± After Alexa finished speaking calmly, she held Terrence¡¯s hand and left gracefully. After getting in the car, she received a message from Sasha. ¡°You¡¯re quite protective of your husband.¡± Terrence held Alexa¡¯s shoulder and could see her cell phone screen with a nce. Alexa even showed him the message. ¡°Of course.¡± As soon as the message was sent, she felt the hand on her shoulder tighten even more. ¡°Would my words just now bring you trouble?¡± ¡°What kind of trouble?¡± Terrence looked at her calmly, his eyes filled with possessive desire. ¡°Maybe they will report that you are a henpecked husband. Maybe it will affect your status in the company.¡± Alexa was considerate. ¡°Am I not a henpecked husband?¡± Terrence said with a proud tone. ¡°I¡¯m happy to be controlled by my wife,¡± Terrence said happily. ¡°They don¡¯t understand this feeling.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t seem to care what the media thinks of you.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t rely on my character to live.¡± Terrence¡¯s tone was rxed. ¡°As long as you know what kind of person I am, that is enough for me.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Alexa was in awe of him. ¡°You¡¯re simply a model husband.¡± ¡°Then¡­¡± Terrence¡¯s hand had moved to her waist. ¡°What reward are you going to give your model husband?¡± ¡°What reward do you want? Let¡¯s go out for dinner tonight. Is that okay?¡± Alexa pretended to be confused. ¡°Is that all?¡± His tone was full of disbelief. Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. ¡°So cruel. You want to reward me with just a meal.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t always think about that thing. Mind your manners.¡± Alexa patted him on the shoulder. Edwin sat in the front row, holding back hisughter with difficulty. However, the atmosphere in the car felt charged. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, there is news from the Ramsey¡¯s mansion. Mr. Cory Ramsey hopes that you and your wife will attend the banquet tonight.¡± When Terrence heard this, his face instantly turned cold. It was the first time Alexa had felt such a ruthless aura from him. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Alexa held his hand, and only then did Terrencee back to his senses. ¡°It¡¯s fine. I¡¯ll just refuse it.¡± ¡°Is it not good?¡± Alexa said rationally, ¡°He is the head of the Ramsey family, and is influential in the Ramsey family and Hudson Group¡­¡± Terrence paused for a moment, his eyes full ofplicated emotions. ¡°Actually, I don¡¯t want you to meet him.¡± ¡°I understand,¡± Alexa smiled faintly, ¡°But with you by my side, I¡¯m not afraid. It¡¯s fine to go see him.¡± Under Alexa¡¯s repeated persuasion, Terrence agreed. Alexa attached great importance to this meeting. She prepared their dresses carefully and even put on delicate make-up. The decoration of the Ramsey¡¯s mansion was extremely elegant and ssic. As soon as they arrived, a servant came out to wee them. ¡°Sir and Ma¡¯am, Mr. Ramsey is in the living room,¡± said Chad oy, the butler. ¡°I know.¡± Terrence responded in a neutral tone and then brought Alexa upstairs. The mysterious family head was very different from the image Alexa pictured. At least the one standing in front of her now was just a kind looking old man. ¡°Alexa? Nice to meet you.¡± Alexa greeted him with Terrence. Cory waved his hand, and Chad handed her a set of gold ornaments. ¡°It¡¯s a greeting gift. I hope you¡¯ll like it.¡± Alexa epted it happily. ¡°I just want to invite you to dine with me. You don¡¯t have to be so reserved. Just rx.¡± Alexa originally thought that it would involve thepany, but what Cory said the most was about her pregnancy. ¡°You are still young. You can have a third child.¡± ¡°We don¡¯t have a n about it,¡± Terrence coldly refused, ¡°And you don¡¯t have to worry about it.¡± The atmosphere during this meal was very depressing. Terrence¡¯s tone was friendly, and he always tried to retort Cory. And Cory always led the topic to Alexa. This feeling of being analyzed and watched made Alexa ufortable. Terrence noticed it and left with Alexa as soon as the meal was over. After getting in the car, Terrence was still feeling tense. Edwin took the gift box from Cory, and Terrence did not even look at it before saying it to Edwin. ¡°Throw it away.¡± ¡°You seem to hate him a lot.¡± ¡°He¡¯s not a good person.¡± Chapter 463 Chapter 463 Chapter 463 Someone Will Feel Distressed "I know.¡± Alexa could sense Terrence''s nervousness. Ever since he got into the car, he had been clutching her hands. "Don''t take what he just said to heart.¡± Terrence''s tone gradually softened. ¡°And there is no need to take him to heart." "I know.¡± Alexa nodded again. Terrence turned to look at her and was surprised to find that she was smiling. "Don''t be so nervous.¡± Alexa got closer to kiss him. ¡°I''m not that weak.¡± "I will soon take back control of Hudson Group.¡± "I believe in you.¡± Alexa always trusted him. After they went back, Yareli said that Sasha hade and given the two children jades as a gift. "Ms. Molina doesn''t look good. She looks very haggard as if she just cried," said Yareli. Hearing this, Alexa gave Sasha a call.Sasha picked up the call quickly, but the ce she was at was a little noisy. ¡°Are you in the bar?¡± "It''s with your friend.¡± "Is it Thalia?" "Yes." Sasha''s voice soundedzy, and Alexa could tell from her voice that she was in a bad state. "Your body hasn''t fully recovered yet. You''d better not drink.¡± ¡°It''s fine. I''m not that stupid to ruin myself,¡± Sasha said lightly. After that, Sasha hung up the phone. Alexa was still worried, asking Thalia to keep an eye on her. "She obviously has something on her mind. Every time shees, she always sits in that position. She is waiting for someone,¡± said Thalia. "Has the person she was waiting for arrived?¡± "No. Isn''t Damian still in the hospital?¡± Thalia paused and then asked Finley. "Finley, what do you think?¡± Finley stared at her and said coldly. "I don''t know about other men." Thalia was speechless, asking, "Are you jealous?" "No.¡± Finley turned around to read, ignoring Thalia. Thalia and Alexa chatted for a short while before hanging up the phone. Thalia held a ss of milk and sent it to Sasha. "I don''t want something a child drinks." "Sasha, why do you have to go through all this trouble?" Thalia took a sip and persuaded, "You''re so excellent, and there are many other childish men who want to be with you. Why are you obsessed with him?" "I¡¯m not. It''s just annoying,¡± Sasha said with a sad expression. "I heard from Alexa about your situation. Take good care of your health,¡± Thalia said softly. "I know,¡± Sasha replied. Sasha was not in a good mood. She got up after chatting for a while.However, she quickly covered her stomach as her face looked pale. "Does your stomach hurt again?" Thalia quickly called Finley over. ¡°Let''s hurry to the hospital. We can''t rule out the possibility of bleeding out," Finley said with a serious expression. Thalia''s face turned pale with fright as she quickly got Finley to carry Sasha into the car. However, when they went out, they happened to run into Damian and his people.He was even more high-spirited than before, with a young femalepanion by his side. Damian nced at Thalia and the others, but he acted like he had not seen Sasha, and quickly looked away. Finley was right. Sasha''s condition was very critical. She was sent to the operating room not long after she arrived at the hospital. Thalia contacted her assistant. When Sasha was pushed back to the ordinary ward, Thalia saw Damian again. "Damian, what a coincidence! We met again," Thalia said to him. "My friend is in trouble, and has just been sent to the hospital," Damian tried to say calmly. "Okay." Thalia nodded, nning to leave with Finley first. A few secondster, Damian returned. "Which ward is she in?¡± Thalia smiled and finally told him. After Sasha woke up, there were only nurses in the sick room.She had some monitoring devices on her, and she didn''t dare to move. "Ms. Molina, do you want some water? Your family has gone to handle the formalities, and will be back soon,¡± the nurse said. "Family?" Damian opened the door and came in as soon as Sasha finished her words.He was polite to the nurse. After a few words, he let the nurse leave first. Sasha watched him walk over to her bed, and then she closed her eyes. "Stop pretending to be asleep. I saw you awake,¡± Damian said calmly. "What are you doing here? And you even pretended to be my family,¡± Sasha said with an unfriendly attitude. "It''s not convenient for a nurse to take care of you." "We''re both women. It''s better for a nurse to take care of me." "The doctor said that you''re weak right now and can''t be angry.¡± Damian took a basin of water to help her wipe her face and arms. Although Sasha did not want to talk to him, she could only lie on the bed, and couldn''t even stop him. "You don''t have to be here. I have money to hire a nurse. You don''t need to care about me,¡± Sasha said coldly. m cheap, and I want to take care of you." After Damian finished wiping, he sat beside her bed. "I have to be with you tonight.¡± "Damian, let me remind you. We broke up,¡± Sasha said weakly. "I know." "Don''t you know how those people talk about me?¡± "I Know. But I don''t believe it,¡± Damian said. Hearing this, Sasha chuckled. "Why don''t you believe it? How much do you know about me?¡± "I would rather hear it from you instead of others,¡± Damian said seriously. Sasha couldn''t do anything to him, so she didn¡¯t say much. "If you want to stay, it''s okay, but I won''t pay you.¡± "It''s fine as long as you belong to me,¡± Damian said. "Stop joking with me.¡± ¡°Alright, don¡¯t get agitated. Have a good rest. I''m here,¡± said Damian softly. "Are you recovered?" "Yes, I''m good now.¡±Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024. Sasha did not ask more. The operation consumed too much of her energy, and she fell asleep after a few words. Damian took good care of her and did not sleep for almost the entire night. When Alexa came over the next day, Damian was feeding Sasha congee. ¡°Excuse me?¡± Sensing the smile on Alexa''s face, Sasha was a little embarrassed and avoided her gaze. "Not at all. Please take a seat,¡± Sasha said quickly. "Just stay there,¡± Alexa stopped Sasha hurriedly, "If you get hurt again, someone will feel distressed for you.¡± "Who is it?¡± Sasha pretended to be confused. "Your attending doctor,¡± Alexa replied. "I heard from the nurse that the operation was done by a doctor called Kieran. He also didn''t sleepst night." Damian interrupted. "Dr. Powell?¡± Only then did Alexa realize that she had gone too far. She was afraid that she might cause some misunderstanding. Just as Alexa was about to exin, Kieran brought some doctors to check the patients. He first greeted Alexa and then began to check Sasha''s condition. Damian had been staring at Kieran, and unconsciously revealed a little hostility. After Kieran left, Damian asked. "Are you familiar with the doctor just now?" "I have met him a few times. Don''t think too much or cause trouble for him,¡± Sasha said. Chapter 464 Chapter 464 Chapter 464 I''ll Choose a Powerful Husband "Why are you so worried about him? Or am I that bad in your eyes?¡± Damian said with a dark face. "That''s because I know you so well that I know what you''re gonna dol" Lost for words, Damian turned to peel the apple in his hands quietly without talking to her anymore. Alexa knew that the two needed a conversation now. Therefore, she left the ward. On her way, she met Kieran, who had just finished checking on his patients. Alexa then chatted away with him. "I haven''t seen you in a long time. You are getting more and more beautiful,¡± Kieran said cordially. "You are making fun of me as everyone else does.¡± Alexa exchanged a nce with him and smiled. "How about we have dinner together tonight?" Alexa asked. Hearing that, the girl next to Kieran said, "Dr. Powell.¡± "You have a consultation tonight.¡± Alexa hadn''t noticed the girl until now. "Rain check then,¡± Alexa said nonchntly. "Yes, let¡¯s take a rain check next time.¡± Kieran smiled gently and stopped saying anything more. But somehow, Alexa felt that the girl next to Kieran seemed to breathe a sigh of relief secretly. Alexa could not help but ponder over it for a bit. At that moment, Terrence walked over, whom Alexa failed to notice until he spoke. "Did you meet Kieran just now?¡± Terrence asked in a t tone. That being said, Terrence involuntarily gripped Alexa by the arm a bit. "Yes. I chatted with him a little," Alexa answered right away. "I wanted to invite him to dinner tonight.¡± ¡°Dinner?¡± Terrence paused and said in a slightly awkward tone. "All right. I can arrange that.¡± Alexa knew what was on Terrence¡¯s mind. Everything involving another man, Terrence would want to deal with it in a way that suggested he was the one for Alexa. "He isn''t avable. Forget it.¡± Hearing that, Terrence breathed a sigh of relief. Then they decided to leave the hospital. At that moment, they met Reid. "Is Damian upstairs?¡± "Yes. He is with Sasha.¡± Alexa nodded. Reid looked helpless. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. "I told him not toe,¡± Reid said. "He showing up here might cause trouble.¡± "They are all adults. Mr. Peters, you don''t have to worry about them." "My parents already know about their rtionship and are very unhappy about it.¡± Reid sighed. "My parents have decided to unite the Peters family and the Rugg family through marriage. Therefore, whoever Damian wants, he will eventually have to listen to my parents and take over our family business." At the sight of Reid outside the ward, Damian was surprised as hell. Sasha had just chased Damian out in a fit of temper. Reid nced at Damian casually. Then he said lightly, ¡°Come back with me." No," Damian said firmly. "She''s in the hospital now. Someone has to take care of her. But it''s not your ce to take care of her.¡± Reid dejected Damian indifferently. "Besides, you, of all people, know why she was hospitalized." "Yes, I know.¡± Obviously, Damian became a little impatient on the topic. "Reid, I''ve thought about it, and I don¡¯t think I mind what happened," Damian said in earnest. ¡°What''s more, it is not her fault.¡± Reid''s look became even colder. "I told you about your marriage with Ms. Rugg a long time ago.¡± ¡±But I didn''t say yes.¡± "Agree or not, it will happen." "If Ms. Rugg feels humiliated, I will let her be the one who cancels the engagement." "And what about the Peters family?¡± Reid brought up their family, which made Damian hesitate right away. ¡°Don''t forget, you are a part of the Peters family." Damian was lost for words. "I will have a business meeting with Mr. Ramsey tonight. Come and bring Ms. Rugg along." Noticing that Damian was reluctant, Reid said with a gloomy face, ¡°I haven''t told our parents about what you''ve done here yet. ¡°You''d better watch out." Damian was resigned to nodding in agreement atst.But he remained gloomy all the way to Sasha''s ward. Back in the ward, Sasha was reading thepany''s financial reports, and she looked very charming while she was at it. "Are you having a lot of fun reading those?" Damian muttered. "How about you take some sweet time on me?" "Don''t interrupt me.¡± Sasha lectured him without even raising her head as she kept drawing something on the documents. "I will be all right by myself here. It was just a small operation, and I''ll recover from it very soon." "Are you chasing me away?" "You''ve got other stuff to do, right?¡± Sasha nced at him. "I believe there must be loads to do in the Peters Group, which Reid alone can''t handle well." "You sound like Mrs. Peters, which I like a lot." Damian then approached her shamelessly and wanted to hold her hand, but Sasha avoided it. "Mrs. Peters? Don''t talk nonsense.¡± "I just want to be here with you," Damian said sweetly. But Sasha did not fall for his ndishment. "You ... really want to be with me?¡± Noticing that Sasha was serious, Damian hurried to swear, "Of course. "If I lie to you, I will suffer the consequences!¡± "But I''m quite a fan of the strong.¡± Sasha lookedposed when she talked as a gesture of her determination. "If I have to choose a husband, I will choose someone more powerful than me.¡± "I am a shareholder of the Peters Group.¡± "It''s not that,¡± Sasha said with a smile. "If it weren''t for Reid, would you still be able to take charge of everything?" Damian was lost for words. Sasha had a point. Reid was the reason for Damian''s achievements today. "I don''t need you to amodate my needs on every matter. What I am looking forward to is equality. Do you understand?" "l understand. You want me to make some achievements by myself, right? I can do that." Damian was not discouraged. Instead, he seemed even more upbeat. Then he left the ward, full of enthusiasm. Sasha was left staring after him. And after quite a long time, she smiled inadvertently. "What a fool¡± She mocked Damian a bit, but her smile was very gentle. In the business meeting that evening, Alexa showed up with Terrence. Damian was there as well, sitting next to Reid in a suit with a much more serious face than usual. "Ms. Rugg is here now.¡± Reid patted Damian on the shoulder. "Go pick her up.¡± Not long after, Alexa saw a beautiful girl follow Damian in. Alexa recalled that the girl was the one who was standing next to Kieran today. And since Alexa kept gazing at her, the girl greeted her gracefully. "Hello, Ms. Rugg.¡± Alexa nodded slightly and smiled politely. Only then did Alexa realize that Hilda Rugg was Damian''s wife-to-be. Damian was very polite to Hilda. Although the two did not talk much, Damian remained smiling. Alexa had seen too many marriages like this. Even if the couple were not in love, they could still be together. Alexa felt that Sasha might not know about this. Halfway through the dinner, Alexa received a call from Sasha.She nced at Damian subconsciously, only to find that Damian was looking over. Alexa avoided the gaze by going out. "Is Damian with you tonight at some dinner party?¡± Sasha sounded rxed and even a little happy. "Yes." "Since we''ve been working together for so long, can you help him a bit when he needs it?" Sasha said helplessly. "I''m worried that I might say something that has angered him.¡± Chapter 465 Chapter 465 Chapter 465 y Our Own Games Sasha was a typical stubborn and soft-hearted person. Although her words were often harsh, she had secretly helped Damian pave the way. Alexa suddenly felt that it was not worth it for Sasha. That was because Sasha would face the risk of being betrayed. However, thinking that Sasha was still recuperating and could not be too excited, Alexa did not mention Hilda. ¡°His brother is also here.¡± Alexa pretended to be rxed. ¡°Who can control him?¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Sasha said politely, ¡°I owe you one.¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± Alexa hung up the phone and ran into Hildaing to the bathroom. Alexa nned to avoid Hilda, but Hilda greeted her with a friendly attitude. ¡°Hello.¡± Alexa smiled and did not intend to chat with her. ¡°We met in the hospital.¡± Hilda took the initiative to mention it. ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa could probably tell that Hilda had a special feeling for Kieran. She exined, ¡°I know Dr. Powell.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± The nervousness in Hilda¡¯s eyes faded away. ¡°Are you dating Damian?¡± Alexa asked. ¡°I know Damian is with Ms. Molina,¡± Hilda said, not seeming to care, ¡°I saw her in the hospital.¡± ¡°Then you¡­¡± ¡°It was my parents who asked me toe. Damian is after all my marriage partner. We still have to contact each other before we get married.¡± ¡°Then what about Dr. Powell?¡± Alexa said it out loud, but Hilda was not surprised. ¡°I have a good impression of Dr. Powell.¡± Hilda said lightly, ¡°But that doesn¡¯t mean we have to be together.¡± ¡°Damian probably won¡¯t break up with Ms. Molina.¡± Alexa was very urate at judging people. When Sasha was hospitalized, Damian¡¯s worried look was not faked at all. ¡°It¡¯s fine if he doesn¡¯t break up with Ms. Molina. We can y our own games.¡± Alexa was also a little helpless at Hilda¡¯s words. Although Hilda didn¡¯t care, she would still be the one to be hurt in the end. When Alexa entered the house with Hilda, Damian looked at them carefully. After the banquet, Damian sent Hilda off first. When Alexa and Terrence arrived at the garage, she found Damian waiting by the car. ¡°Damian?¡± ¡°Did Sasha call just now?¡± Damian looked a little uneasy. ¡°She didn¡¯t contact me, so what did she say to you? Is she not feeling well?¡± Damian asked. ¡°No.¡± Alexa shook her head. ¡°She just talked about business.¡± Alexa hesitated for a moment, but still asked, ¡°Are you really going to marry Ms. Rugg?¡± ¡°I will find a way to refuse.¡± Damian said confidently, ¡°I won¡¯t disappoint Sasha.¡± ¡°As long as you know what¡¯s going on between the two of you.¡± Alexa nodded. Alexa didn¡¯t pay attention to Terrence until she got into the car. Terrence had been very silent today. Other than business matters, he didn¡¯t care about anything else. ¡°What do you think about the matter between Sasha and Damian?¡± Alexa asked, ¡°As a man, you should be more able to understand Damian, right?¡± ¡°How he thinks is already obvious.¡± Terrence said calmly, ¡°But I¡¯m not on his side.¡± Terrence was not optimistic about Damian. ¡°He doesn¡¯t have his own confidence. Even if he makes it this time, he will still have to deal with the same problem next time.¡± ¡°Moreover, Sasha is also quite strong.¡± Alexa agreed. ¡°Yes, so if Sasha knew the marriage agreement between the Peters family and the Rugg family, she would probably break up with Damian immediately.¡± As soon as they arrived home, Alexa read the trending topics on Twitter. The marriage between the Rugg family and the Peters family was instantly pushed to the forefront. Sasha sent Alexa a message. ¡°When you were having dinner just now, was Hilda there?¡± Alexa knew she could not hide it from Sasha anymore. However, Sasha was not angry. ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± With that said, Sasha did not speak again. Alexa was sitting on the balcony in a daze, just as Terrence came over with Verna in his arms, and Damarion followed beside them. ¡°It¡¯s windy outside. Come inside.¡± Terrence put a nket on Alexa. Alexa leaned over and picked Damarion up. She asked, ¡°Did you have a good time in kindergarten?¡± Damarion thought about it. Then he said, ¡°I¡¯m happy, but there¡¯s another way to make me happier.¡± ¡°Oh? Then why don¡¯t you tell mom and dad?¡± ¡°I want mom and dad to pick me up from school.¡± Damarion flung his arms around Alexa¡¯s neck and kissed her on the face. ¡°Cole¡¯s parents always pick him up.¡± Damarion sounded aggrieved. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, baby.¡± Alexa said patiently, ¡°Mom and Dad wille to pick you up tomorrow, okay?¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Damarion nodded and went to sleep happily. Terrence put the two children to sleep before returning. Alexa came out of the bathroom while arranging the straps of the bathrobe. Terrence took the opportunity to hold her from behind. ¡°Why are you so clingy?¡± Alexa pouted. ¡°Go to bed early, Mr. Ramsey.¡± ¡°No.¡± Terrence kissed Alexa¡¯s neck. ¡°Just for a while. You are my wife, so why can¡¯t you hold me?¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Alexa rubbed her head against Terrence¡¯s chest. Then she asked, ¡°Are you free tomorrow?¡± ¡°Of course, I¡¯m free to pick up my son.¡± Terrence¡¯s tone was gentle. ¡°We promised him just now.¡± ¡°Maybe we will see Nina.¡± Alexa looked up and kissed Terrence. ¡°I can¡¯t lose to her.¡± Seeing that she cared so much, Terrence chuckled. ¡°Why are you suddenly interested in her?¡± ¡°Not only is she looking for trouble with you, but she¡¯s also looking for trouble with my son.¡± Alexa was full of anger as she spoke. ¡°I still remember what her son said about Damarion that day.¡± The gloom in Terrence¡¯s eyes suddenly deepened. ¡°Terrence, Damarion has been wronged. Of course, I am not happy.¡± Alexa held Terrence sullenly. ¡°If Vernie is bullied by this kind of person, I am afraid I will lose my mind.¡± ¡°There won¡¯t be a next time. I promise.¡± Terrence spoke in a deep voice and carried Alexa to bed. The next day, Alexa personally sent Damarion to school. ¡°I was very busy before, but I will definitely spend more time with you as much as I can.¡± Alexa exined gently, ¡°So will Dad.¡± Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. ¡°It¡¯s okay, mom.¡± Damarion replied very sensibly, but it was difficult to hide the joy in his eyes. When Alexa held Damarion¡¯s hand and got out of the car, it got everyone¡¯s attention. When Nina came over, Alexa actually smiled. The two of them smiled and confronted each other for a moment. Nina was the first to speak. ¡°Cole, say hello to your friend.¡± Cole rolled his eyes, and Alexa pretended not to see it. She looked at Damarion gracefully. ¡°Damarion, I told you to choose a friend carefully.¡± Nina¡¯s face turned green. She snorted and left with Cole. Alexa blinked at Damarion and handed him to the teacher. She was about to drive back to thepany when she suddenly saw Kieran standing on the street. ¡°Dr. Powell, where are you going?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going back to the hospital.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t you get in the car? I¡¯ll drive you there¡± Just as Alexa finished speaking, Hilda came out of the cafe behind them. ¡°Dr. Powell,¡± Hilda said with a smile as she handed Kieran the coffee. ¡°I specially bought this for you.¡± Chapter 466 Chapter 466 Chapter 466 As long as Your Reputation Is Intact After Kieran took the coffee, he thanked Hilda politely. ¡°You don¡¯t have to do this next time.¡± He added. The smile on Hilda¡¯s face faded a little, but she still stood beside Kieran. Those who didn¡¯t know would think that they were a couple. ¡°Dr. Powell is going back to the hospital. Ms. Rugg, do you want to go together? I¡¯ll drive.¡± Alexa asked. Hearing this, Hilda looked at Kieran with a bit of disappointment. ¡°Dr. Powell, didn¡¯t you agree to go to the medical summit with me?¡± ¡°Sorry.¡± Kieran said as he adjusted the frame on his nose, ¡°The director just called and added a temporary meeting.¡± ¡°Oh, then I will go back to the hospital with you,¡± Hilda said. Hilda seemed to listen to Kieran very much. In the end, they got into Alexa¡¯s car. Kieran opened the door of the passenger seat for Hilda. Hilda did not feel embarrassed at all. Instead, she chatted very well with Alexa. When they got out of the car, Hilda suddenly said to Alexa, ¡°Sasha contacted me just now, but I ignored her.¡± Alexa nced at Kieran who was waiting at the side. Hilda noticed her gaze and subconsciously lowered her voice. ¡°Please tell her that I won¡¯t cancel the engagement with Damian.¡± ¡°Based on her personality, she won¡¯t have any contact with Damian again.¡± Alexa said lightly, ¡°You don¡¯t have to worry.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not worried.¡± Hilda said expressionlessly, ¡°I just don¡¯t want to get involved with them.¡± Hilda¡¯s attitude surprised Alexa. ¡°The Powell family and the Peters family have been close.¡± Alexa said, ¡°Is there something between you and Dr. Powell¡­¡± ¡°I have nothing to do with him.¡± Hilda interrupted. ¡°He is a well-known schr in the industry. I admire his ability and that¡¯s all.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Alexa smiled politely and drove away. When Hilda and Kieran went upstairs together, they met Damian at the door of the office. Damian said, ¡°Doctor Rugg, let¡¯s talk.¡± Kieran took another look at Damian. After confirming that Hilda did not need help, he left. Damian called Hilda to the garden of the hospital. ¡°Ms. Rugg, I don¡¯t want to hold you up.¡± Damian got straight to the point. ¡°You can break off the engagement on the grounds of my improper behavior.¡± ¡°The Rugg family has already spread the news of the engagement.¡± Hilda said lightly, ¡°No matter what reason I break off the engagement now, our two families will not be laughingstocks.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care. It¡¯s fine as long as your reputation remains intact.¡± Seeing that Damian was so considerate of her, Hilda was moved. ¡°What benefits can Sasha give you?¡± Hilda raised her eyebrows slightly. ¡°If this marriage doesn¡¯t work, the Peters family may lose tens of millions of dors.¡± ¡°This has nothing to do with her.¡± Damian was very protective of Sasha and did not want others to bad-mouth her at all. The conversation didn¡¯t go well, so Damian was a little annoyed. The two of them were in a deadlock for a while. Hilda suddenly said, ¡°Sasha is here.¡± Damian quickly followed her gaze and looked over. He saw Sasha walking towards the inpatient building with a bunch of flowers in her hands. She obviously saw them, but she raised her sunsses nonchntly. Damian said, ¡°If you change your mind, call me at any time.¡± Then he left hurriedly. When Sasha entered the elevator, Damian quickly followed her. ¡°What brought you here? Why didn¡¯t you call me to pick you up?¡± asked Damian. ¡°I have a driver.¡± ¡°I was just discussing business with Hilda. Don¡¯t think too much about it.¡± ¡°What should I think about?¡± Sasha took off her sunsses and looked at Damian with a smile. ¡°I didn¡¯t ask you to exin. Why are you in such a hurry?¡± Although her tone was rxed, Damian could tell that she was annoyed. When Sasha was angry to the extreme, she was usually indifferent. ¡°I¡¯ll talk to her about breaking off the engagement. I won¡¯t marry her.¡± Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. ¡°If you don¡¯t marry her, who do you want to marry?¡± ¡°You.¡± The elevator stopped, and Sasha walked out without looking back as if she had not heard what Damian had just said. Damian did not ask where she was going but followed her silently. Sasha came to visit an executive in thepany, Jessie Parker. She was about the same age as Sasha and had just given birth. Damian was waiting for her at the door. He caught a glimpse of Sasha holding the child in a daze. At that moment, she hadpletely let go of her guard. Damian had known her for so long, but he had never seen Sasha so gentle. Jessie caught a glimpse of Damian and teased Sasha with a smile. ¡°Ms. Molina, it seems that you¡¯ve also found the one.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not like that.¡± Sasha put down the child. When she left the ward, the smile on her face was gone. ¡°Why are you staring at me?¡± Sasha asked, ncing at Damian. ¡°Why are you smiling so strangely?¡± ¡°I think you like children quite a lot.¡± ¡°No.¡± ¡°You were smiling so happily just now.¡± ¡°That¡¯s only because the mother is my friend. I won¡¯t pay attention to other children.¡± Damian followed behind and did not say anything. ¡°If you like children, can I propose to you earlier?¡± ¡°No.¡± Sasha walked to the parking lot. Seeing Damian still following her, she finally clicked her tongue impatiently. ¡°Don¡¯t you have anything to do today? Why are you following me?¡± ¡°I just want to see you.¡± Damian had a good temper. No matter how Sasha scolded him, he was not angry. ¡°I still have to talk business with Alexa. I have no time to talk to you now.¡± ¡°You are so close to Alexa. No wonder you two are bing more and more alike.¡± ¡°Alike? How?¡± ¡°You are both admirable career women.¡± Hearing this, Sasha joked with interest. ¡°Then it¡¯s even more impossible for the two of us.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Damian was anxious. ¡°You are your family¡¯s treasure.¡± Sasha said as if she was teasing a little kid, ¡°If you fall into my hands, it won¡¯t be so easy to live.¡± ¡°I¡¯m happy to be controlled by you.¡± ¡°Why are you so shameless?¡± Sasha nced at Damian. ¡°Who¡¯s willing to control you? Get out of the way.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯lle up to youter.¡± ¡°I have to attend a dinner party tonight. I don¡¯t have time.¡± Sasha¡¯s cold face did not dispel Damian¡¯s interest. Instead, it made him even more enthusiastic. When she was discussing business with Alexa, Damian had specially sent someone to deliver two sweets. Alexa saw that he was so attentive, so she mentioned Hilda in front of Sasha. ¡°I know. The Peters family even gave me an invitation.¡± Sasha said indifferently. Alexa said, ¡°I¡¯m afraid their engagement won¡¯t change.¡± ¡°Of course, I won¡¯t get involved in their rtionship. Besides, it¡¯s not like I have to be with Damian.¡± Sasha was very open-minded. She did not reject having men around her, but there were not many people who could really walk into her heart. Hilda said, ¡°But I heard that Hilda seems to be very close to Dr. Powell.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa nodded. ¡°She does have feelings for Kieran, but it should be just for fun.¡± ¡°If it was really just for fun, would she go on a business trip with Kieran?¡± Sasha sneered. ¡°Damian doesn¡¯t know anything.¡± Chapter 467 Chapter 467 Chapter 467 Your Husband won¡¯t Let You Go? Alexa thought of how Hilda treated Kieran and was not very surprised. However, Kieran did not seem to be interested in Hilda. ¡°Dr. Powell is a good doctor. He can¡¯t risk his career for a woman.¡± Sasha said indifferently. It was obvious that she had a problem with Hilda. ¡°If you like someone, just tell them how you feel. What¡¯s the point of hiding it?¡± Sasha said with a cold face. ¡°She said that she wouldn¡¯t cancel the engagement, so she and Kieran wouldn¡¯t get together. ¡°I¡¯m gonna steal Kieran one day. They will probably be disgusted.¡± Alexa nearly choked on her coffee. ¡°It just so happens that I have friended Dr. Powell on Line.¡± ¡°Are you serious?¡± ¡°You know how men are,¡± Sasha said as shezily looked down. ¡°As long as he¡¯s still single, I¡¯ll stand a chance.¡± ¡°Dr. Powell¡­ I¡¯m afraid you won¡¯t be able to handle him.¡± Alexa knew Kieran too well. He was a ssic case of having cold hands but a warm heart. Although Kieran seemed very polite to everyone, he didn¡¯t feel much in his heart. Moreover, Kieran had to take care of both the hospital and the Powell Group, so an arranged marriage with another firm would have a bigger chance. If Sasha really wanted to date Kieran, it would not end well. In the end, she would be the one getting hurt. ¡°Why are you so sure?¡± Sasha raised her eyebrows, a hint of desire to conquer shing in her eyes. ¡°I have never met a man I can¡¯t get.¡± ¡°Dr. Powell probably only cares about his career. If he wanted to date, he would have been dating long ago.¡± ¡°I heard that you two dated before.¡± Sasha suddenly changed the topic. Alexa paused for a second. ¡°Yes,¡± she admitted directly. ¡°It happened when I just got back to the country. I asked him out first.¡± ¡°Then why did you break up?¡± Sasha teased, ¡°Your husband couldn¡¯t let you go, could he?¡± ¡°It just didn¡¯t work.¡± Just as Alexa finished speaking, Sasha nced behind her. Terrence slowly walked to Alexa and politely and distantly greeted Sasha. ¡°We are going to pick up the kids.¡± Alexa smiled at Sasha. ¡°I¡¯ll see you around.¡± Sasha watched the couple leave and subconsciously ced her hand on her belly. The surgery was micro-invasive, and the wound had already been scabbed. But the doctor had told Sasha that it would be difficult to conceive again. The assistant suddenly spoke, and Sasha came back to her senses. ¡°Ms. Molina, you have a dinner appointment with Mr. Powell of the Powell Group tonight.¡± ¡°Got it. You go and get ready. Be more formal. Make sure that Mr. Powell has a good time,¡± Sasha said, her expression unchanged. ¡°Yes.¡± At this time, Alexa and Terrence had just picked up Damarion. The family was very eye-catching at the entrance of the kindergarten. ¡°I remember that you are busy these days, Terrence.¡± Nina¡¯s voice suddenly sounded. ¡°You have time to pick up Damarion today?¡± R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only Terrence ignored her. Alexa noticed the man beside Nina. This should be her husband, Hyman. He was dressed in a high-end suit, and there was a powerful and malicious look in his eyes. Before Alexa spoke, Hyman had greeted her. Alexa said ¡°hello¡± in an indifferent tone, and then there was no other topic to talk about. However, Nina red at Hyman discontentedly. ¡°Who said you could talk to another woman?¡± Nina did not lower her voice, and Alexa could hear it clearly. Terrence¡¯s face became more and more gloomy, then he turned around and left with Alexa. Hyman said some words with a smile and suddenly called out to Terrence. ¡°We are still family. Let¡¯s have dinner together sometime, okay?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not necessary.¡± Terrence did not give him any face at all, and Hyman¡¯s fake smile froze on his face. He did not understand why Terrence would be so arrogant. ¡°I have a lot of connections. If you want to do business, I can refer you.¡± ¡°No need for that.¡± Terrence obviously did not want to waste his breath on Hyman. However, Hyman just wanted to humble Terrence. ¡°You are not in a good position now. Don¡¯t worry. This won¡¯t be a burden for me.¡± ¡°Mr. Fillion, why are you so concerned about my family?¡± Alexa said with a smile, ¡°If you have spare time, you might as well spend it on your family.¡± ¡°Of course, I will. Don¡¯t worry, Ms. Duran.¡± ¡°Great.¡± Alexa proudly raised her chin. ¡°Then we have nothing to talk about.¡± After saying that, she directly called Terrence and left. Nina looked at Alexa leaving and was furious. ¡°What¡¯s there to be smug about?¡± ¡°That woman is quite rich.¡± Hearing this, Nina became even more unhappy. ¡°What do you mean? Why are you taking her side?¡± ¡°What I said is the truth.¡± Hyman said coldly, his eyes dimming. ¡°She has the actual control of the Duran family and shares in Hudson Group,¡± Hyman sneered. ¡°You can¡¯tpete with that. She was born well. Terrence spoiled her so much that he even gave her the shares of the group.¡± ¡°So what?¡± Nina raised the corner of her mouth. ¡°My father has already talked to the board of directors. Next time they are running, she will be made a figurehead.¡± Alexa did not know what they were up to. On the way home, she and Terrence did not mention what had just happened but just patiently chatted with Damarion. Christina called and invited them to dinner. ¡°My brother¡¯s family is also there,¡± Alexa said. ¡°We will get together tonight.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Terrence bought some gifts and also took Verna over. Christina liked children. She and Henry prepared big cash gifts for all of them. Keyon was the same as Terrence, both of them holding the kids and not letting go. Alexa looked at Nansen. ¡°This little guy is growing faster than Vernie.¡± Alexa ran her finger through Nansen¡¯s face. ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to Keyon. He has been taking care of Nansen during this period. I didn¡¯t have to do much,¡± Giselle said with a happy smile. The two families were simr. Alexa was speaking with Giselle about postpartum recovery, while Terrence was sharing his parenting experience with Keyon. Keyon used to take care of Damarion all the time, so he was particrly good at taking care of his son. When Giselle and Keyon went back, she suddenly suggested. ¡°Keyon, let¡¯s have another baby.¡± ¡°Are you serious?¡± Keyon asked seriously. ¡°You already suffered a lot when you gave birth to Nansen.¡± At that time, Keyon was there when Giselle was inbor. He remembered that scene clearly. ¡°No more babies. It will be bad for your health.¡± ¡°But Vernie is so cute.¡± Giselle¡¯s heart melted when she thought about how soft and cute Verna was. ¡°We¡¯ll go and see Vernie a lot.¡± Keyon helplessly smiled at her. ¡°We don¡¯t need to have another baby.¡± ¡°Actually, my father and the others also want us to have another baby.¡± After the birth of Nansen, Giselle¡¯s rtionship with the Niebergall family improved a lot. Although they still had a lot ofints about Keyon, they valued this little grandson very much. Not only did Giselle¡¯s father give Nansen good property, he even nned to make him the heir to his company. Although Irvin did not say much, he also had given Nansen a lot of money. Keyon did not feel that it was a good thing that his son was being paid too much attention to by the Niebergall family. ¡°What are they up to now?¡± he asked coldly. Chapter 468 Chapter 468 Chapter 468 Can¡¯t You Talk to Me Nicely? Seeing that Keyon had such a great enmity towards her family, Giselle felt bad. ¡°Although they did some bad things before,¡± Giselle said lightly, ¡°they are my family. No matter what, we are rted by blood.¡± Keyon kept silent for a moment. Then Keyon said, ¡°Of course, we will invite them when we hold the wedding ceremony.¡± ¡°In fact, my parents also want to meet you in advance.¡± Giselle looked at Keyon expectantly. Then she added, T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°Nansen has been born for so long, but they haven¡¯t officially met each other yet.¡± When Nansen was just born, Giselle¡¯s parents called to care about Giselle. But Keyon was busy taking care of Giselle and Nansen, so Keyon had no time to think about other things. ¡°Let¡¯s talk about it until your body recovers.¡± Keyon frowned slightly. He was still very worried about Giselle. So he added, ¡°There¡¯s no hurry.¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Keyon took care of Giselle very carefully and invited a professional rehabilitation team. Not only did Giselle not lose weight, but she also gained a few pounds when Nansen was a month old. ¡°Then when do you want to go back?¡± ¡°Three dayster.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Keyon agreed readily. Finding that Giselle was secretlyughing, Keyon helplessly sighed. ¡°How long has the n been? You know I will nod and agree today, right?¡± ¡°I thought about the n two days ago. I was afraid you would be angry.¡± ¡°How could I be angry?¡± Keyon smiled and added, ¡°They are your parents and also my father-inw and mother-iw. No matter what happened before, I will respect them.¡± Although Keyon did not say anything more, he still attached great importance to this matter. That night, Keyon asked about Giselle¡¯s parents¡¯ preferences and personally prepared some gifts. And at the same time, Sasha also met Kieran. Sasha dressed up very grandly tonight, which made her very eye-catching in the private room. Sasha sat next to Kieran and chatted with him happily. As an experienced businessman, Sasha could deal with the situation easily. Sasha quickly persuaded Kieran to sign the contract. When the other bosses toasted, Kieran stopped it for Sasha. ¡°Thank you,¡± Sasha said in a low voice. Kieran only nodded politely and did not respond. When the party ended, Kieran drank a little too much. Sasha personally held an umbre to send Keyon to the car. Suddenly, she saw Damian standing not far away. Sasha looked away indifferently and said goodbye to ra and Keyon in the car. ra suddenly said, ¡°Ms. Molina! ¡°Mr. Peters seems to have been waiting for you for a long time.¡± ¡°Yes, I know.¡± Sasha watched them leave, but she did not intend to pay attention to Damian. Sasha turned around and walked to her car. Seeing this, Damian hurriedly chased after her. ¡°Are you avoiding me?¡± ¡°Please make things clear. I just want to go home.¡± Sasha frowned slightly and pushed Damian¡¯s hand away. Sasha was wearing a thin dress. The cold wind blew, and the chill spread all over her body. ¡°Did you drink?¡± Damian asked. ¡°Why don¡¯t I drink when I¡¯m out for business?¡± Sasha seemed to be fooling a child. ¡°Well, you¡¯d better go home now, lest your family think you have been kidnapped.¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you talk to me nicely?¡± Damian¡¯s tone was mixed with displeasure, but there was also a hint of grievance. Damian thought he did not do anything wrong, but Sasha just turned hostile. ¡°How good do you think my attitude should be?¡± Sasha¡¯s tone sounded indifferent, but she was still angry in her heart. Sasha added, ¡°The best way for us to get along is to be strangers. After all, you are already engaged.¡± Damian said, ¡°I will break off the engagement with her. Besides, isn¡¯t Hilda also rted to Kieran in private?¡± Sasha asked, ¡°So what? When the timees, both of you will have an extramarital affair! Is it a very glorious thing?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t argue with me here. Get in the car first. It¡¯s cold outside,¡± Damian said. Sasha replied, ¡°I want to get in the car, but I won¡¯t go with you.¡± Without saying a word, Damian drove his car to follow Sasha. ¡°Ms. Molina, Mr. Peters has been following us all the time,¡± the driver said. Sasha had a headache after drinking. ¡°Leave him alone.¡± Damian followed them all the way. When Sasha got out of the car at the door of the vi, Damian immediately followed her. Damian asked, ¡°Can we talk again?¡± ¡°I am tired today!¡± Sasha did not want to talk to Damian. Sasha walked so fast that she sprained her ankle and broke her shoes. ¡°Oh ¡° Damian subconsciously stepped forward to help Sasha, but Sasha stubbornly took off her shoes and threw them into the trash can. Then she entered the room barefoot. Sasha did not close the door, and Damian also went in. When Sasha finished bathing and went downstairs, Damian was still sitting on the sofa. ¡°Why haven¡¯t you left yet?¡± ¡°It¡¯s gettingte. And the rain is quite heavy,¡± Damian said, tilting to the sofa. ¡°So what? This is not a shelter,¡± Sasha said, pouring herself a ss of water. ¡°It is home. A ce with you is home,¡± Damian said suddenly. ¡°Damian, what exactly are you thinking?¡± ¡°I want to marry you and have a family. That¡¯s it.¡± ¡°What about the Rugg family?¡± ¡°I will cancel the engagement. It doesn¡¯t matter even if I break up with my family. The worst result is that I start from scratch,¡± Damian said firmly. Over the years, Damian had umted some personal savings. Although it was not a big deal, it was okay to do some small business. ¡°You can even abandon your own family for me? Idiot!¡± Sasha rebuked Damian with a cold face. After all, Damian was young. Damian didn¡¯t consider things well when he did things. He always felt as long as he was brave, he could get what he wanted. But there were many things to consider in the world of adults. It is not just love. ¡°What I need is a lover, not an idiot conducted by love!¡± Sasha said. ¡°I know, so I have been working hard for you. Can you give me a little hope?¡± ¡°If you are with me, you may bear a lot of infamies. You have to think it through.¡± There was a faint smile in Sasha¡¯s eyes. ¡°Anyway, I, Sasha, am not a good person in the eyes of others.¡± ¡°I know very well what kind of person you are.¡± Seeing that Sasha was not in a good mood, Damian did not want to talk about this matter. He added, ¡°Didn¡¯t you just say that you were tired? Go rest early.¡± ¡°What about you?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll stay on the sofa for the night. Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t go upstairs to disturb you,¡± Damian said. Sasha stood there for a while. Then she suddenly said, ¡°There is a guest room upstairs. Come with me.¡± ¡°Okay!¡± Damian happily followed Sasha. ¡°You can rest here for a night, but you must go back tomorrow.¡± After finishing her words, Sasha left. As soon as Damian entered the room, he received a call from Hilda. ¡°Where are you tonight?¡± A cold and distant female voice sounded. Damian frowned with displeasure. ¡°Ms. Rugg, it is none of your business, right?¡± ¡°I know.¡± Hilda suddenly softened her voice and added, ¡°I just¡­ I¡¯m a little afraid. I¡¯m alone in the bar.¡± Chapter 469 Chapter 469 Chapter 469 I Am Just Humiliating Myself "Call your driver." Hilda said willfully, "No. I don''t trust them. It''s okay if you don''te. I''ll stay here for the night." Damian didn''t want to meddle in it at first, but he thought it was indeed unsafe for a girl to be alone outside. In the end, Damian still went over. Hearing the sound of the engine downstairs, Sasha knew that Damian had left. Sasha was talking to Alexa on the phone.She smiled lightly and said, ¡°I told you that I wouldn''t be able to keep him." Alexa asked, "Did he leave by himself?" "Maybe he has thought it through. He has a bright future and a promising career. He shouldn''t have fallen into my trap," Sasha said happily. Alexa replied, "You are not bad.¡± Alexa was sincerely praising Sasha. Not only was Sasha not bad, but she was more excellent than most people.But in love, Sasha always put herself in a weak position. It was also torture for Sasha to put down her pride andpromise.Alexa said, "Zeke has confessed to a lot of people tomute the sentence. He also has spies in the Molina Group.¡± "Zeke is just an idiot. He can''t stir up any trouble." Sasha raised her eyes coldly and arrogantly. "It was someone else who stuffed the spies in.¡± Alexa said, "I have already found out that it has something to do with Nina. The person behind her is Jovan.¡± "Nina''s ambition is really surprising. Is she still unsatisfied with Hudson Group in her hands?" Sasha asked. "Some senior executives of Hudson Group are on Terrence¡¯s and my side. She is notpletely in power for the time being,¡± Alexa replied. "We can cooperate. But if I have to take a lot of risks, I must see enough benefits,¡± Sasha said frankly. ¡°Sure.¡± After they finished talking calmly, the seemingly calm situation had already been surging.Before hanging up the phone, Sasha asked Alexa a question. "Do you have any single friends by your side?" Alexa paused. "Oh, I forgot. You probably don''t have any male friends around you. Mr. Ramsey is jealous," Sasha teased. "He''s coaxing the child to sleep now. I''ll help you ask himter. He must have some single male friends around him,¡± Alexa said. "I usually don''t have good taste in picking men. Can you help me check?" "I may not be able to do this, but the people around him should be quite reliable." After Alexa responded with a few words, Terrence opened the door and came in. Terrence held Alexa immediately. Then Terrence heard Alexa ask, "Are there any single men around you?¡± Terrence kissed her behind her ear and smiled.He said, "Must you bring this up at this time?" "Don''t touch me." Alexa blushed and pped away the palm on her waist. Terrence pursed his lips.He suddenly said, "Yes, but there is no free lunch in the world, hon." He called her "hon" in such a sexy manner that Alexa''s ears went numb. Without further ado, Alexa knew what Terrence was thinking. "Mr. Ramsey, can you think about something serious? You are always...¡± "Always what?" Terrence deliberately asked. "Why are you always thinking about me?¡± Alexa stared at Terrence with a red face. ¡°It''s my business to miss you.¡± Alexa was simply speechless. The next day, Terrence still fulfilled his promise. "l invited some of my friends tonight. Why don''t you invite Sasha there?¡± Terrence said. Before Alexa could say anything, Terrence added, "However... "You can''t go." "Why?" Alexa asked in disappointment. "Can''t I go see your friends?¡± "Don''t pretend to be grieved,¡± Terrence said bluntly. Then Terrence pinched her face. Alexa was exposed on the spot and immediately blushed. "They are all single men. You will be bored staying with them. And they are noisy. You can''t get along with them,¡± Terrence said lightly. "I can." "Is that so? You slept quite earlyst night. You were not noisy at all.¡± "Stop!" Alexa pinched Terrence''s waist. "I''ll take you to y something else tonight, okay?" "No." Alexa was on guard and immediately refused. "Well." Terrence nodded with a slight sense of loss. Then he added, "We just got married, but you are already tired of staying with me, aren''t you?" Alexa could not bear such a big usation. "I take back what I said just now.¡± Alex immediately retorted to her words. "We must enjoy the world of two people." After dressing up, Alexa went to work with Terrence. When Reid saw them, he forced a smile. "Sorry, Damian is not feeling well today. He can''te to the scene.¡± Alexa thought of what happened to Sashast night.So Alexa asked, "Is he with Ms. Molina now?" "No, he is at Ms. Rugg¡¯s house,¡± Reid replied. Alexa felt his heart skip a beat.She thought, it turns out that Damian left Sasha''s cest night to look for Hilda. Didn''t Damian say that he didn''t want to follow the engagement before? He changed his mind so quickly. However, Reid didn''t look happy. Reid said, "Ms. Molina still doesn''t know about this matter. I don''t know what will happen if she knows it." Standing on Sasha''s side, Alexa said, "She''s quite carefree. Since Mr. Peters has already made his attitude clear, Ms. Molina will naturally let go of him in time." "That''s good." Reid took a sip of tea and looked relieved.However, at that time, Sasha had already appeared at the door of Hilda''s apartment. When Hilda opened the door, she was still wearing a nightgown. "It''s you. Pleasee in," Hilda said calmly. "No need! I''m here to return something.¡± Sasha had just finished speaking when she asked her assistant to bring her a bag. "These are the clothes Damian left at my housest night. Some of the previous things are also here." Before Hilda could say anything, a strange male voice sounded from behind. "Sasha? Why are you here?" "Don''t call me!" Sasha red at Damian coldly, her aura so oppressive that it was frightening. Hilda acted as if it had nothing to do with her. She shrugged at Damian before leaving. Damian clicked his tongue in frustration. Sasha looked at the man''s nightgown coldly without saying anything. "This is the nightgown I asked my assistant to send over. My suit was drenched by the rainst night,¡± Damian exined. "You don''t have to exin it to me. I''m not interested.¡± R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only Sasha was about to leave after giving Damian''s things back. However, Damian rushed out and grabbed her wrist. "Sasha!" Sasha flung Damian''s hand away. The two of them caused quite amotion, and some neighbors had already opened the door to check. Sasha said, "I don¡¯t want to talk to you here." "It was my faultst night. I should have told you in advance. But I sent you a message on Line. Why didn''t you reply to me?¡± Damian asked. "Why should I reply to you?¡± Sasha replied so coldly as if Damian was just a total stranger. Damian didn''t know what to say and followed Sasha downstairs. "There are so many people here. You''ll be famous if the media post our pictures on the Inte,¡± Sasha said coldly. Damian said, "I have to exin it to you clearly." "Are you trying to exin it because you are afraid that I will misunderstand, or are you feeling guilty?" Judging from Hilda''s fearless look just now, Sasha was more inclined to believe in thetter. Sasha said, "Forget it! I shouldn''t have asked you the question. I am just humiliating myself!¡± Chapter 470 Chapter 470 Chapter 470 Eavesdrop Damian was embarrassed. "She''s your fiancee in name. It''s a good thing that you dated her before marriage." Sasha brushed her sleeves nonchntly. "I have nothing to do with you, so there''s no need to hold on to me. Let''s part with each other in a peaceful way.¡± After that, Sasha got into the car and left. Damian did not chase after her. When he turned around, he found Hilda standing not far away with an umbre. "It''s raining heavily now. Don''t just stand there,¡± Hilda said as she handed over the other umbre to Damian. Damian ignored Hilda. "What''s the point of ring at me? I didn''t scold her." "Hilda, what do you mean?" Damian asked coldly,pletely losing his good temper fromst night. "Why did I fall on the sofast night? Did you add something to the scented candle?¡± Hilda studied medicine, and Damian believed that Hilda had some methods. "I have been using the scented candle. If you don''t believe it, you can take it for testing at anytime." Even so, Damian''s expression still did not show any signs of easing up. "Did you deliberately let her misunderstand?" "If you hadn''t fallen on the sofa in my house, I wouldn''t have had the chance." Hilda replied in contempt. Damian did not really want to pay attention to her. Damian stood at the intersection and called his driver. Damian was caught in the rain for a long time, and he fell ill after returning home. Reid came to the ward with a livid face. ¡°Look at the trending topics now! Damian, what the hell are you doing?¡± Reid shouted in a low voice. Damian picked up his phone in a daze, only to find that the interaction between the three of them had been taken down. Not only that, everyone was scolding Sasha as a home wrecker. "Tell me, what should we do now?" Reid looked at Damian sternly, but Damian remained indifferent. "Is it interesting for Hilda to do this? I want to break off the engagement,¡± Damian sneered. "Did she do it on purpose?" "Do you really think that my fianc¨¦e is a little girl who doesn''t know anything?" Damian ignored his poor condition, directly pulling out the needle and leaving the hospital. This matter not only pushed Sasha to the forefront but also affected the Duran Group she worked with. However, Alexa held a press conference in time to exin the situation. However, when the reporters mentioned Sasha, Alexa did not avoid the question. "The Molina Group is a trustworthy partner. For this, I am willing to believe in Ms. Molina''s character. As for other things, I do not know, and I will notment on them," Alexa said with a straight face. After the press conference ended, Alexa received a call from Sasha. "I just finished the board meeting. Sorry, I caused you trouble." Sasha sounded exhausted. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°I am fine, but I just heard that Damian left the hospital without permission." Alexa changed the topic. "He has been contacting me, but I refused." Sasha was obviously a little annoyed. However, if this matter was not exined clearly, the consequences would only be worse. The Rugg family had taken out the marriage contract signed by both families, showing others that Sasha was a home wrecker. And so far, Hilda had no intention of exining. Their rtionship was veryplicated, and Alexa could not help. It just so happened that Henry had a small operation recently. Alexa went to thepany with Terrence to visit Henry after work. Christina had hired a nurse, but most of the time, she took care of Henry by herself. Terrence was very smart. As soon as he sat down, he chatted with the two elders. Christina was extremely satisfied with this son-inw. ¡°Terrence, has the matter with yourpany been resolved?" "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be resolved soon.¡± ¡°I''m not urging you. I just don''t want you to be so tired," Christina said from the bottom of her heart. ¡°Nina might use dirty methods. It is not good for you to spend too much time with her." Terrence''s father and mother also said the same words to him. Terrence was very grateful for Christina''s concern for him. "Don''t worry." Terrence immediately expressed, ¡°Even if I am busy withpany affairs, I will put my focus on the family and won''t let Alexa down." Alexa was arranging flowers, and when she heard Terrence''s words, she blushed. The atmosphere in the ward was a little strange. ¡°Alexa is so lucky." Christina sighed and smiled at Henry. They were chatting when the doctor suddenly came in to check. Seeing Alexa, Hilda quickly looked away. Hilda exined absent-mindedly. "Dr. Powell is very busy right now. I will temporarily take over his work. I hope you understand it." Christina did not say anything. However, almost all of the questions that Hilda asked were wrong, and Hilda couldn''t answer the questions Christina asked. Christina''s face sank. "How did you get into the hospital? You seem not to be qualified to be a doctor here, do you?" Christina asked directly. "Sorry." Hilda replied in a t tone and immediately left with a gloomy face. Christina was very famous in the medical world. Almost all the top schrs in the medical world were her students. However, this was the first time Christina had met someone as arrogant as Hilda.She was about to re up when Alexa interrupted in time. "Mom, shall I go and take a look?" Alexa asked Terrence to stay in the ward with Christina and Henry, and then she went out to stop Hilda. "Ms. Rugg.¡± "What? Are you here to stand up for Sasha?" Hilda asked satirically. ¡°No. I just think your way of doing things is ridiculous," Alexa said tly. ¡°The media wants to write those articles. What can I do?" Hilda shrugged. She did not care about this matter. However, Alexa''s vibe was dominant. Hilda felt a little guilty. "Dr. Powell does not have any feelings for you, but you do not need to use these methods to find a backup for yourself," Alexa said bluntly. From the looks of it, Damian was clearly regarded as a backup by Hilda. "He is my fianc¨¦. How I treat him has nothing to do with you." "But I hope that you should stop before you go too far. Who gave you the idea to use Sasha to attack the Duran Group?" Hilda froze and did not respond. "I don''t understand what you''re talking about." "You better not believe Nina. After all, if she didn¡¯t mess up, Zeke wouldn''t have gone to jail so smoothly," Alexa said with a smile. "Are you threatening me?" ¡°No, I''m just reminding you. You are an adult, and you should learn to be responsible for your own behavior.¡± Alexa''s attitude was kind. Hilda''s face was stiff as she looked down. Then, she quickly left. As soon as Alexa turned around, she found that Terrence was standing behind her. "When did you learn to eavesdrop, Mr. Ramsey?" ¡°About a minute ago.¡± Terrence''s eyes were full of love. "Ie and admire the way my wife teaches others a lesson." "Will it damage my image?" "No. You are simply fascinating.¡± Terrence¡¯s lips curved up slightly, and the smile almost bewitched Alexa. They left after saying goodbye to Henry and Christina. At this time, the press conference held by the Molina Group was in progress. Sasha had just sat down when Damian suddenly barged into the scene. Chapter 471 Chapter 471 Chapter 471 I Just Got Married Everyone was stunned by this sudden incident. There were some media live broadcasting at the scene. Damian rushed up to hold Sasha¡¯s hand regardless of anything. He said, ¡°Come with me.¡± ¡°Damian¡­¡± Sasha hesitated for a second. Damian suddenly kissed her in front of everyone. ¡°Is this enough to show my love?¡± He looked at the cameras with a determined gaze and did not intend to let go of Sasha. ¡°We¡¯ve been in a rtionship. Sasha is my girlfriend and also my love in this life. I have nothing to do with Ms. Rugg. I hope you won¡¯t make up stories.¡± Damian said firmly and left with Sasha. When he pushed her into the passenger seat, Sasha adjusted her hair and looked at the man next to her. ¡°Do you know what you just did?¡± She questioned angrily. ¡°I know. I know exactly what I¡¯m doing. I won¡¯t regret it,¡± Damian said as he gripped the steering wheel tightly. He had disrupted the entire press conference that was supposed to be a good one. Sasha wanted to get angry, but Damian was driving so fast, which made her feel ufortable. ¡°Slow down.¡± She said subconsciously, and Damian immediately did as she said. Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. Sasha¡¯s phone kept ringing. So in the end, she simply turned it off. ¡°Where are you taking me to?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know.¡± ¡°You¡¯re crazy.¡± Although it seemed that she did not agree with what he did, Sasha was still a bit touched. ¡°Do you know what kind of consequences you will face?¡± Damian replied casually, ¡°At worst, I will be expelled from the Peters family. But I have my own career. I don¡¯t rely on them to live.¡± ¡°When I met you at the bar, I thought you were just a hipster.¡± Sasha leaned against the passenger seat and showed a smile. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be so bold.¡± ¡°You too. We are really a perfect match. Don¡¯t even think about getting rid of me,¡± Damian said. Sasha sneered. Then she deliberately scared him, saying, ¡°If I don¡¯t return to thepany safe and sound within an hour, then my assistant will call the police.¡± ¡°Will she call the police to arrest me?¡± ¡°Do you know the consequences of kidnapping the president of the Molina Group? Moreover, so many people saw what you did just now.¡± Damian thought for a moment. Then he asked, ¡°Did you bring your ID card?¡± ¡°What?¡± Sasha was a little confused. ¡°We need to get married,¡± Damian said seriously. Sasha was stunned, and then she suddenly smiled. ¡°Did you propose to me? Do you know what marriage is?¡± Damian was so nervous that his forehead was covered in sweat. ¡°I have been bringing the ring with me all this time¡­¡± ¡°Seriously?¡± Sasha was shocked. An hourter, they got married. Sasha called her assistant. ¡°I¡¯m fine. I just got married.¡± When Alexa heard about their marriage, she was shocked. She didn¡¯t expect that Sasha would marry him like this. That night, Sasha held a small party with a few friends at the mansion. When Alexa and Terrence arrived, they saw Sasha standing alone at the door to wee guests. Alexa handed the gift to Sasha. Then Alexa asked, ¡°Where¡¯s Damian?¡± Sasha said, ¡°I didn¡¯t ask him toe. It¡¯s annoying to see him.¡± Alexa and Terrence looked at each other, neither of them responding. When they entered the house, they found that some decorations had changed. There were obviously more things, and it was livelier than before. Alexa tugged at Terrence¡¯s sleeve. She said, ¡°Did Damian¡¯s family ask him to return home?¡± Terrence shook his head. ¡°No idea. Did Damian make her angry again?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t they just get married?¡± Alexa lowered her voice and added, ¡°The newlyweds should be having a sweet time, right?¡± Terrence said, ¡°That¡¯s not what the Rugg family thinks. After all, this is a matter of their reputation. The cooperation between the Rugg family and the Peters family is probably over.¡± They chatted quietly over here, and when they saw that the guests had almost arrived, they took their seats. Sasha asked the servant to bring two bottles of wine from the cer. She acted like a hostess when treating guests. However, she did not mention Damian the entire time. Alexa could feel that Sasha was a little unhappy. However, Sasha was stubborn, so it was impossible for her to say these things out loud. Damian only hurried over when the party was over. He couldn¡¯t wait to embrace Sasha as soon as he entered the room. Then, he nodded to Alexa and the others. Sasha patted the back of his hand. Then she said angrily, ¡°Why are you here?¡± With that, she walked away on her own. ¡°Is Ms. Molina angry?¡± Alexa asked. Damian adjusted the sses on his nose. It seemed to be a little tricky. He said awkwardly, ¡°I went back to my house in the afternoon to do something. It was my fault that I didn¡¯t notice her emotions.¡± Damian felt that Terrence should be quite experienced, so he asked Terrence how to deal with this situation. Alexa gave Terrence a meaningful look, also looking forward to his answer. ¡°She¡¯s your wife. Think of a way yourself.¡± Terrence held Alexa¡¯s hand and said, ¡°Apologize sincerely, and you need to coax her.¡± Damian nodded. After walking out of the door, Alexaughed. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, you seem to be quite experienced.¡± ¡°I only treat you like this.¡± Alexa looked at him and smiled. ¡°Many of my friends are jealous of me. They said that we have been married for so many years, but we¡¯re still so sweet.¡± Terrence said slowly, ¡°There are many ways to run a rtionship. We just chose the one that suits us the most.¡± Sasha stood on the balcony and watched the two leave. She was envious. There was a noise behind her. Damian went upstairs with a cup of coffee. Sasha looked at the ring on her finger. Damian had specially asked the designer to customize this ring. It took at least a month to make the ring. Damian had been nning to propose to her for a long time. ¡°I still can¡¯t believe that I got married to you this afternoon.¡± She rubbed the ring and seemed to be talking to herself. ¡°I have never done such a crazy thing in my life.¡± ¡°Are you unhappy?¡± Damian embraced her from behind, and the fragrance on his body immediately wrapped around the two of them. ¡°I can¡¯t say what it feels like now.¡± Even when Damian held her, Sasha felt that it was illusory.It seemed that as long as she let go, everything in front of her would disappear. ¡°Sasha, my parents want to see you.¡± ¡°How do they treat you when you go back to your house today?¡± ¡°Good. But don¡¯t worry. They won¡¯t make things difficult for you,¡± Damian said. It was normal for Damian¡¯s parents to lose their temper because of the incident at the press conference today. When Damian returned, Reid even helped to persuade them. So they didn¡¯t make things difficult for Damian. ¡°The Rugg family personally came to cancel the engagement and terminated the cooperation with the Peters Group.¡± ¡°Then you have suffered a great loss.¡± Damian smiled, ¡°No. I don¡¯t think I have suffered a loss. Instead, I think my parents will like you very much. Besides, I will always be here for you.¡± In fact, Sasha also wanted to meet his family. After all, she had already married Damian, so there was no way she could hide from them.She prepared a greeting gift and went to the Peters¡¯ house with Damian the next day Chapter 472 Chapter 472 Chapter 472 You Shouldn¡¯t Show Up in Public Damian told his family in advance. Although Sasha was not very excited, she was a bit nervous. ¡°Damian, let me tell you something first. If your family doesn¡¯t like me, don¡¯t be angry, and don¡¯t argue with them.¡± She pursed her lips. Damian chuckled. ¡°Am I that irrational? But if they dare to make things difficult for you, we leave.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± On the way to the Peters¡¯ house, Damian had been holding her hand. When Damian¡¯s parents learned that they wereing, they had already asked the servants to clean the house and even invited the rtives over. When Sasha entered the door, Damian¡¯s mother, Erica Browning, immediately handed Sasha a gift. ¡°Sasha, wee. We have been waiting for you for a long time.¡± Erica was happy and immediately led Sasha into the house. Damian stood at the door and was ignored by his mother. That day, Sasha had a good time. Damian¡¯s parents both liked Sasha very much. No one mentioned the engagement with the Rugg family. In the evening, Erica asked Sasha to stay the night in her house. Damian was called to the study alone. When he came back, Sasha had juste out of the bathroom. ¡°What did your dad say to you? Is it about the two of us having children?¡± she asked. Although Damian¡¯s parents did not ask this question in front of Sasha today, Sasha felt that this kind of rich and powerful family should attach great importance to babies. ¡°No, don¡¯t be so nervous.¡± Damian kissed her palm. ¡°They asked me to treat you well. They also asked where we were going to settle down in the future.¡± ¡°Mypany¡¯s headquarters is abroad. If we settle in New York, we may need to live separately.¡± Damian was not happy to hear it. ¡°That won¡¯t do.¡± He added, ¡°I will go wherever you go. I can also go abroad.¡± ¡°Am I the only one you care about?¡± Sasha smiled, touching his lower jaw with her fingers. ¡°Think more about yourself. You are my husband now. You don¡¯t need to only care about my feelings.¡± ¡°The Molina Group is your life¡¯s work. I understand how important it is to you.¡± Damian did not want her to worry. ¡°Moreover, the Peters Group has been nning to set up a branchpany abroad recently. I will learn more things and go abroad with you.¡± ¡°Okay, as long as you don¡¯t regret it.¡± The next day, Damian personally went to the Duran Group to talk business with Alexa. Seeing that he was so happy, Alexa smiled. She teased, ¡°The people who are married are different.¡± ¡°My wife taught me well.¡± Damian nodded repeatedly. Alexa smiled. Then she said, ¡°I heard from Sasha that you¡¯re nning to go abroad too?¡± ¡°Yes. I¡¯m going to take charge of the branchpany¡¯s business.¡± ¡°It¡¯s pretty good.¡± Alexa nodded. Damian was very talented in business and was not inferior to Reid at all. Alexa introduced several familiar clients to him, and he sessfully got the cooperation. ¡°We are also preparing for pregnancy recently. Sasha likes children,¡± Damian said with a happy smile. ¡°Has she fully recovered?¡± Damian replied, ¡°Yes. But it¡¯s a little difficult to get pregnant naturally. We¡¯re going to go abroad to have a test tube baby. ¡°I wish you all the best.¡± After Alexa got off work, she called Sasha to chat for a while. But just as she walked to the garage, she saw Chad. Before Alexa could speak, the bodyguards who were secretly protecting her appeared one after another. Chad smiled calmly. ¡°Ma¡¯am, Mr. Ramsey wants to talk to you alone.¡± Chad did not tell her about the topic of the conversation, but Alexa guessed that it would not be a good thing. ¡°Please lead the way. I will drive my own car.¡± Chad nodded and did not make things difficult for her. Terrence happened to be on a business trip today. Alexa did not tell him about this, but Edwin had already heard the news. ¡°Mr. Ramsey¡­¡± ¡°Go back immediately.¡± When Alexa came to the guest room of the Ramsey¡¯s mansion, Nina and her family were also there. Nina sneered and rolled her eyes at Alexa. Alexa ignored Nina and calmly sat down on the sofa. ¡°Didn¡¯t your mother teach you how to be a polite person?¡± Nina added unhappily, ¡°The elders have not asked you to sit.¡± Alexa looked directly at the man sitting in the middle. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, if you have something to say, just say it.¡± ¡°Nina, you guys go out first.¡± Nina gave Alexa a provocative look and reluctantly left. ¡°Sorry, my daughter has caused you trouble.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Alexa smiled innocently, ¡°I think she enjoys it.¡± Cory was not angry at all. Alexa only felt that although Cory seemed to be kind, he was not a simple person. ¡°In the past few months since Terrence left thepany, our turnover has indeed been affected.¡± ¡°Okay. So?¡± ¡°I heard that he has been helping the Duran Group all this time. Is that right?¡± Alexa calmly tidied her hair, ¡°Well, we have the Duran Group¡¯s shares. As a shareholder, isn¡¯t it reasonable for him to care about the development of thepany?¡± ¡°The branchpany in France has returned to normal operations. Nina and I are ready to go back. As for Terrence, he can return to his original position.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the condition?¡± ¡°I hope you can give up the shares of the Duran Group and devote yourself to Hudson Group¡¯s development.¡± ¡°Do you mean you want me to give up my career?¡± Cory said, ¡°Women should not be too powerful. As Terrence¡¯s wife, you just need to take care of your husband and teach your children at home. You shouldn¡¯t show up in public.¡± Alexa smiled coldly. ¡°Why are you telling me all this? What are you afraid of?¡± Alexa stared straight at him. Cory was a little embarrassed. ¡°Weren¡¯t you the ones who made mistakes? It should be your responsibility, right?¡± ¡°I was just reminding you out of goodwill. As for what to do, it¡¯s up to you.¡± Alexa silently showed a cold smile. She did not want to talk to him anymore. ¡°Farewell.¡± She quickly left the room and found Nina who was eavesdropping at the door. Alexa was not afraid of Nina. This was also why Nina hated Alexa the most. ¡°Be careful on your way back. Don¡¯t get into a car ident.¡± Nina smiled darkly. ¡°Thank you for the reminder, Ms. Ramsey. But you are the one who should pay more attention to it, right?¡± Alexa red at her coldly. Alexa smiled sincerely. ¡°After all, you¡¯ve done too many wrong things. Your retribution wille sooner orter.¡± ¡°That¡¯s all you can say to me.¡± ¡°For the sake of you being Terrence¡¯s aunt, I have already been kind enough to you.¡± Alexa¡¯s face suddenly darkened. Nina was shocked by her. ¡°Don¡¯t be too arrogant.¡± Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. After that, Nina turned and left. Hyman walked over and saw the look in Nina¡¯s eyes. He couldn¡¯t help butugh. ¡°Does that little girl scare you?¡± ¡°Little girl? No.¡± Nina gritted her teeth in anger as she added, ¡°It is this little girl who caused us to lose 5 billion dors in a week. Many directors are dissatisfied.¡± ¡°So what? Doesn¡¯t the board of directors listen to us?¡± ¡°We should be careful.¡± Nina rolled her eyes in disdain and angrily left in her high heels.But just as she passed by the balcony, she saw Terrence who was downstairs. Chapter 473 Chapter 473 Chapter 473 He¡¯s So Jealous Nina curled her lips indifferently, her smile provocative. Terrence quietly looked at her for a while and calmly withdrew his gaze.He held a ck umbre, and his emotions seemed to be hidden under it. When Alexa came out, Terrence immediately held the umbre and went forward. Ignoring the gazes of the people all around, Alexa jumped into Terrence¡¯s arms. ¡°Why are you back so soon? Don¡¯t you go on a business trip?¡± ¡°I missed you, so I came back.¡± Terrence gently patted her back. ¡°Why are you here?¡± ¡°Cory wanted to tell me something.¡± Alexa inly answered. She did not take Cory¡¯s threat just now to her heart at all. But after getting in the car, Terrence still did not show a happy face. The heater was on in the car, and Alexa took off her coat. Terrence reached out to hold her waist. Although he did not speak, Alexa could feel the possessiveness of his movements. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? You look unhappy.¡± ¡°What did he say to you?¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly. ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be something good.¡± ¡°Work.¡± Alexa leaned in Terrence¡¯s arms and did not take Cory¡¯s words to heart. ¡°He hopes that I give up my career and be a full-time wife.¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Alexa felt that Terrence¡¯s appearance seemed to be even colder. ¡°Then what do you think?¡± Terrence¡¯s tone was gentle. He was patiently waiting for Alexa¡¯s response. ¡°I don¡¯t want it.¡± ¡°OK.¡± Terrence kissed her on the forehead. ¡°I respect all your choices.¡± Alexa knew that Terrence would support her. She said, ¡°One of my friends has two children. She gave up her career and became a full-time wife.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not a woman¡¯s job to take care of her family.¡± Terrence said strictly, ¡°I don¡¯t want you to give up your dream, but if you feel tired, you can stop at any time and rest before setting off again.¡± ¡°Terrence, thank you.¡± ¡°Why did you thank me?¡± Terrence chuckled, and the darkness in his eyes vanished. ¡°This is your right. Everyone should be respectful.¡± Alexa leaned in Terrence¡¯s arms, and the cold and gentle fragrance on Terrence¡¯s body inexplicably made her feel at ease. ¡°You came back in such a hurry. Did you really finish your business there?¡± ¡°It has been resolved. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Terrence shook her hand to indicate Alexa was rxed. The next day, when Nina entered the conference room, she found that Terrence was sitting in the main seat. And several directors had been reced. Nina gritted her teeth and forced out a smile. ¡°What does this mean? Why didn¡¯t I receive a notification about personnel appointments?¡± In fact, Nina had noticed what Terrence was about to dost night. But she didn¡¯t expect Terrence to secretly rece a few higher-ups of the Hudson Group so fast. There was no smile on Terrence¡¯s face. Instead, he threw an investigation report on the conference table. ¡°Ms. Ramsey came at the right time. You may need to give me a reasonable exnation.¡± Terrence had thoroughly investigated the matters of the branch in France. A strange look shed across Nina¡¯s face. ¡°The branch losses have been resolved long ago. I don¡¯t understand what else to exin now.¡± ¡°You should be clear about it.¡± Terrence did not point it out and then changed the topic. ¡°In addition, lots of shareholders feedbacked that you forced them to sell their shares and manipted the board decisions¡­¡± ¡°Where is the evidence?¡± ¡°The evidence is being collected. You don¡¯t have to worry too much.¡± Terrence¡¯s attitude made Nina unhappy. But with so many people present, Nina did not dare to re up. After the meeting, Nina stopped Terrence. ¡°I was just too unlucky. Don¡¯t forget. I am the main shareholder of the Hudson Group.¡± Terrence cast over a calm nce. ¡°Your good luck depends on your attitude towards Alexa, understand?¡± Nina was suppressing her rage. ¡°Alexa will be kicked off from your family soon.¡± Nina provoked Terrence, ¡°Her existence is a threat to the Hudson Group. Many people in the family are dissatisfied with her.¡± ¡°Dissatisfied?¡± Terrence sneered, ¡°Who are you? So what if you are dissatisfied with her? Ridiculous.¡± Terrence did not mind disgracing them at all. Nina¡¯s face changed. She seemed rather awkward. When Alexa came to thepany with Verna in her arms, they were immediately noticed by everyone. Everyone liked Verna much and kept teasing the little fellow. When Alexa carried Verna upstairs, she happened to meet Aron. ¡°How are you, Alexa!¡± Aron said with a smile, ¡°Vernie also came? No wonder Terrence is in a good mood today.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t tell him.¡± Alexa asked, ¡°Is he busy?¡± ¡°No, he didn¡¯t arrange any meetings in the morning.¡± Alexa smiled more happily and carried Verna inside. Terrence had just finished reading a document. When he saw them, Terrence immediately got up and took Verna over in his arms. ¡°Vernie, you¡¯re also here.¡± Terrence was happier. ¡°I¡¯m out of the office today, so I brought Vernie to see you.¡± They spoke a few words, but Verna had already messed up Terrence¡¯s neat cor. ¡°Leave her to me.¡± Alexa sighed. ¡°Otherwise, your shirt will be so messed up that you won¡¯t be able to meet the clientter.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter.¡± Terrence allowed Verna to pull his tie and make trouble. He smiled gently. ¡°They can¡¯t understand the happiness of having a daughter.¡± ¡°Edwin told me about the board of directors.¡± Alexa asked, ¡°Nina didn¡¯t make things difficult for you, did she?¡± ¡°No, don¡¯t worry.¡± They chatted for a while. Sasha and Damian suddenly came in to send their wedding invitation. ¡°We are going to hold a wedding.¡± Sasha and Damian looked at each other and smiled. Damian wanted to discuss business with Terrence, so Sasha invited Alexa to go downstairs for coffee. She had been holding Verna. She liked children. ¡°When can I have a child?¡± ¡°It takes a lot of energy to have a child. After you deliver the baby, you will spend a lot of time recovering.¡± ¡°I have talked to Damian.¡± Sasha mentioned, ¡°I asked to learn from Mr. Ramsey. Anyway, after I give birth to a baby, he will be the one who takes care of the child.¡± ¡°What about the Peters family?¡± Alexa asked curiously, ¡°What do his parents think?¡± ¡°They didn¡¯t pressure us, but they are looking forward to it.¡± Sasha had nned to hire a professional nursing team to take good care of her during her pregnancy and recovery. Damian was willing to work hard and had long been studying professional knowledge about looking after pregnant women. ¡°Damian also sent an invitation to Jeremy.¡± Sasha mentioned in a low voice, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect him to be so jealous.¡± ¡°Jeremy must be regretting it so much.¡± ¡°His mother is scolding me all along,¡± Sasha said nonchntly. ¡°It is almost her who has been spilling dirty words on me all the time.¡± Chapter 474 Chapter 474 Chapter 474 Deal With Your Son ¡°Drag you down?¡± Nina immediatelyughed in anger.She immediately wanted to re up. Hyman frowned in frustration and said coldly. ¡°Don¡¯t make a fuss here. Someone might make a video and post it on the Inte.¡± ¡°What you did is better?¡± Nina pushed him and continued, ¡°Now that something happened to me in the company, you want to add insult to injury. Hyman, you really are something.¡± ¡°Did something happen to you? I told you not to interact with Jovan. Did you listen to me? If the things he did were exposed, do you think you can escape?¡± Hyman said unhappily. Hearing Hyman say that, Nina actually felt a little regretful. But now that things hade to this, she did not want to admit she was wrong. ¡°Don¡¯t dismiss the responsibility. Didn¡¯t you also participate when we split the money?¡± ¡°If you have the mood to quarrel with me here, why don¡¯t you find Derick and settle it as soon as possible? He has a lot of evidence,¡± Hyman said darkly. ¡°I don¡¯t need you to teach me how to do things.¡± Nina said with a livid face. Then, she stormed off in her high heels. Hyman didn¡¯t go back with her but called a few friends to drink. And at this time, Alexa and Terrence were on their way home. ¡°So Nina and Hyman have gotten to this point?¡± Alexa sighed with emotion. Just now, she and Terrence had been present, but Nina had looked angry. Nina hadn¡¯t bothered to pretend for Hyman. ¡°They have always been like this.¡± Terrence said calmly, ¡°Over the years, Hyman has had many women. Nina should know about it and has dealt with many of them.¡± ¡°Then howe they are together for so long?¡± ¡°Some people don¡¯t date because of love.¡± Terrence said lightly, ¡°They do it for interest.¡± It seemed Hyman already knew something, which was why he was in a hurry to draw a clear line with Nina. Terrence didn¡¯t want Alexa to worry, so he didn¡¯t tell them about it for the time being. When they were almost home, Sasha called and asked them to go out for dinner tomorrow. Alexa agreed. The next day, when Alexa went to the dinner party, she took Verna with her. Terrence was holding Verna all the time, and Sasha stared at the little girl for a long time without finding a chance to hold her. Noticing Sasha liked the girl so much, Damian whispered in her ear. ¡°You like the child so much. Shall we have one ourselves?¡± Alexa heard it and looked at Sasha subtly. Sasha was a little embarrassed as she lowered her head to stir up the sugar cubes in her coffee cup and nudged Damian. ¡°Shut up.¡± Damian smiled and did what Sasha told him to. ¡°Have you been busy with the weddingtely?¡± Alexa asked. ¡°He did all the work.¡± Sasha looked at Damian and said, ¡°I¡¯m still going to work every day. When the timees, I will just have to be the bride.¡± The Peters family valued Sasha. They spent millions of dors on the wedding. In the past few weeks since Sasha and Damian registered their marriage, Jeffrey and Erica had given her a lot of jewelry and even the shares of the Peters Group. Sasha looked much better and was happy every day. ¡°Vernie is so cute. The more I look at her, the more I want a daughter.¡± ¡°Okay, I will work hard for it,¡± Damian immediately said. In fact, Damian had been paying attention to Terrence. After having a daughter, Terrence seemed to have be a different person, and his gaze was so soft. His eyes never left the girl. ¡°But I will be reluctant to part with her.¡± Sasha sighed. ¡°If she finds someone she likes when she grows up, she will throw herself at him.¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes flickered slightly. Verna held Terrence¡¯s tie and yed with it, not knowing what these adults were talking about. Alexa agreed with Sasha. ¡°It is indeed easier for girls to get hurt in rtionships.¡± ¡°So, when Vernie grows up and needs to find a boyfriend, you must help her decide, in case she gets hurt,¡± Sasha said with experience. ¡°She won¡¯t get hurt.¡± Terrence suddenly said confidently, and Alexa immediately looked at him with a simper. She could imagine Verna¡¯s other half would experience a lot of trials¡­ Going home after dinner, Terrence still looked sullen. Alexa sat with Verna in the back seats, making herugh. Terrence thought of Sasha¡¯s words and felt a little more bitter. ¡°Marriage isn¡¯t a must for Vernie¡­¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa nodded. ¡°But it will be her decision to make. If she meets someone she likes, we can only let go. It¡¯s the same with Damarion.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t bear to let go. If she is hurt, I will not let that jerk off,¡± Terrence whispered. ¡°Our daughter won¡¯t be hurt. Vernie will find her own path. I believe she will grow into a brave and confident woman,¡± Alexa said firmly. ¡°Yes.¡± Terrence nodded and agreed. After sending Alexa and Verna home, Terrence drove to thepany. The board of directors had been doing a lot recently, but they were all about Nina. As soon as he arrived at the meeting room, someone handed him a report of asset investigation. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, all the illegal assets under Nina¡¯s name have been frozen.¡± A director said, ¡°She took advantage of her position to encroach on thepany¡¯s huge assets. This matter must be thoroughly investigated. Otherwise, there is no way to exin it to everyone.¡± Terrence listened silently and let them express their opinions at once. ¡°I will give everyone an exnation for this.¡± After Terrence said that, the other people were relieved. When Nina received the news, she was putting her son to bed at home. She calmly left her son¡¯s room and sneered disdainfully. vestigate me? Do they have evidence?¡± ¡°Boss, should we tell Mr. Ramsey about this first?¡± ¡°My dad doesn¡¯t care about these things.¡± Nina rolled her eyes, looking very annoyed. T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. ¡°No man is reliable.¡± She sent the secretary away, then sat on the sofa, and asked Ruth Carr to open a bottle of red wine. ¡°Mrs. Fillion, do you still need to call Mr. Fillion today?¡± ¡°Leave him be.¡± Nina said with a cold face. Ruth did not dare to answer. But Ruth nced at the time. It was almost dawn. Nina¡¯s face was extremely sour. She said snappily. ¡°Call him and tell him toe back immediately.¡± ¡°Yes, Mrs. Fillion.¡± Ruth called several times, but no one answered the phone. ¡°Mrs. Fillion, he might be busy.¡± ¡°Heh. I wonder which woman he is fooling around with,¡± Nina smiled sinisterly. Nina called Hyman personally. This time, he picked up, but his attitude was not good. ¡°Come back and deal with your son,¡± Nina said coldly. Chapter 475 Chapter 475 Chapter 475 The Only Way to Power "Just ignore them. Of course, there is no need to be afraid of them." Alexa felt that Rebekah wanted to say something more to her. "Cory is very maniptive and will do whatever it takes to get his way," Rebekah said slowly. "They must have a grudge against you this time you and Terrence investigated the branchpany thoroughly." "I understand.They have always wanted to drive me out of the Ramsey family." "It''s the only way to power." Rebekah patted the back of Alexa''s hand meaningfully. "He has arranged for someone to keep an eye on Terrence.Terrence has already dealt with most of them, yet there are still some fools." Alexa''s eyes flickered, and she had already realized what Rebekah meant. "Rebekah, are you saying that I should solve this personally?" "It''s a good chance to show them who calls the shots in the Ramsey family." After Rebekah finished speaking, she left. Alexa went to Hudson Group right when it was time to get off work. There were quite a lot of people there, and everyone addressed her as "Mrs.Ramsey" with respect. Alexa had a strong aura, but she was always gentle when dealing with people. The employees had a good impression of her. Edwin came across her face-to-face. Edwin did not expect her to suddenlye over. He was obviously surprised. "Mrs.Ramsey, do you have something to do?" "Nothing." She straightened the folds on Edwin''s sleeve casually. "Is Terrence still busy?" "Mr.Ramsey is still dealing with some documents, and he lets me leave." R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only "Marin is waiting for you downstairs," Alexa smiled subtly. "Just go down." Edwin nodded with some embarrassment and quickly left. When Alexa came to Terrence''s office, he was not inside. Not long after Alexa sat down, Lah Cecillia, the secretary, sent a cup of coffee in. Lah obviously did not expect Alexa to be here. After a brief moment of astonishment, Lah ced the coffee on Terrence''s desk. "Ms. Duran, what would you like to drink?" Hearing such an address, Alexa nced at Lah indifferently. "No need. I''m waiting for Terrence." "Mr.Ramsey is still in the conference room. I''m afraid he doesn''t have time to see you." Alexa chuckled. "Is it up to you whether my husband has time to see me or not?" Lah probably did not expect Alexa to be so tough, and she didn''t know what to say for a second. Alexa walked towards Lah and slowly picked up Lah''s name card. "Lah Cecillia, the secretary." Alexa nodded meaningfully and suddenly looked up. "A neer?" "I''m new here indeed." "You must be very talented to be the secretary of the CEO''s office given that." Lah nced at Alexa silently. "Didn''t you just say that Terrence is in the conference room? Then why did you bring his coffee here?" Alexa didn''t give Lah a chance to reply.She turned around directly. Then Alexa said, "Toss it.My husband doesn''t drink things like this." "Ms.Duran, Mr.Ramsey is my boss." "So, you mean you won''t obey my orders.Is that right?" Alexa smiled and did not take Lah seriously at all. "Is that how Nina teaches you?" "Ms.Duran, sarcasm is unnecessary, and you shouldn''t nder Ms.Ramsey." "Well." Alexa indifferently tilted her head. "So?" As soon as she finished speaking, Terrence came in. The first thing he did was look at Alexa, and the coldness in his eyes disappeared in an instant. "Mr.Ramsey..." Lah sounded very aggrieved. "Are you going to cry? I''ve got tissues here.Want some?" Alexa asked casually. Lah was so angry that she left directly. "Did she piss you off?" "No.What''s there to be angry about? I''m here to see you," Alexa said calmly. "I think Nina has put her here.I''ve been busy and haven''t got time to deal with her." "It doesn''t matter.After tonight, I will be notorious in thepany." "They won''t dare." Since Alexa was here, of course, Terrence would not continue to work overtime.He changed his coat.Then he said, "Let''s go eat." Alexa adjusted his tie for him. Terrence took the opportunity to hold her waist and took her in his arms. "Aren''t we going to eat? Why are you holding me?" Though saying so, Alexa did not resist his embrace. "To recharge," Terrence said concisely. "I booked a ce," Alexa said. "We''ll bete if we stay here any longer." "Mrs.Ramsey, it¡¯s rare to see you So active." Terrence reluctantly let go of her, but he still held her hand. "Let''s go." When they got into the car, Alexa slowly said to Terrence. "I heard that there are many women around you these days." "Is that why you are here today?" "That''s not it. I''d like to eat with you." Alexa wasn''t worried about Terrence. Yet those women were very purposeful, and they were sent by Nina. The two facts made Alexa very ufortable. "There have been some strange womentely," Terrence said seriously. "But I''ve had Edwin deal with them already.I didn''t even talk to them." "It''s not that I feel the need to control you," Alexa exined. "I can tell." Terrence nodded and yed along. When they were waiting for the red light, Terrence nced at Alexa. "Why are you snickering? What makes you so happy?" "Ah? I am not snickering." Alexa put her phone away. "Were you chatting with someone?" Terrence suddenly felt a bit envious, yet he still looked the same. "We''ve had some new interns in thepany, and they are nothing but honey-tongued," Alexa said. The interns were all freshly graduated, so Alexa did not feel anything wrong. "What did they say?" "Just some nifty. Hudson Group has interns as well, right? What do you talk to them about usually?¡¯ she said casually. "I don''t talk to them at all." Terrence paused and then continued. "Ms.Duran, you are in charge of Hudson Group as well.When are you nning oning back to manage it?" "You are there, aren''t you? Besides, if Ie back, Nina will be so pissed off," Alexa smiled. "She''s not in a position to say anything." "The board of directors of the Duran Group won''t let me go," she helplessly said. "And Keyon has been dealing with the Niebergall family these days." Tim hadn''t been doing well recently, and Irvin was nowhere to be found. Keyon had to temporarily handle the affairs of the Niebergall Group, and he also had to visit Tim often in the hospital.But even so, the Niebergall family still did not trust Keyon very much. Terrence listened to Alexa seriously without offering his opinion hastily. They came out of the restaurant after the meal and came across Thalia on the street. Thalia was alone without Finley. Alexa went forward and asked. Seeing that Thalia looked upset, Alexa had a theory. "You guys have quarreled again?" "It''s nothing serious." Thalia waved her hand, and Alexa smelled the alcohol from Thalia. "I recently took over my family''spany, and I have to attend to business at night quite a lot. Finley doesn''t seem to like it." Chapter 476 Chapter 476 Chapter 476 My Fianc¨¦ Will Get Angry The clothes that Thalia was wearing were very formal. Alexa figured that Thalia had been at a dinner banquet. But Thalia didn''t even have an assistant by her side. "Are you going back now?" Alexa asked. "I think so." Thalia sighed and suddenly changed the subject. "I rented a ce near thepany. It''s not far away from here." "You aren''t living with Finley?" Thalia''s eyes flickered. She said vaguely, "We usually live together, but I have been busy recently, and he has a lot to deal with in the hospital." "Oh." Alexa nodded doubtfully and helped Thalia into the car. Thalia sent a message to her assistant and then suddenly asked. "Mr.Ramsey, is Hudson Group nning to cooperate with Chuck as well?" "Yes." Terrence nodded. "The price is still in discussion, but it is already within our expectations." He was implying that there was still room for negotiation. Thalia said bluntly. "Then what about us? The price we offer is better than theirs." Actually, for Terrence, changing or not wouldn''t make a difference. But Thalia was Alexa''s friend, and he was more than happy to do Thalia a favor for Alexa''s sake. "You can sign the bid. Someone in charge will reach out to you tomorrow." "OK. Thank you," Thalia said with a smile. "Go back and get some rest. You drank a lot, didn''t you?" Alexa tightened the nket on Thalia. "Not a lot. I can hold my liquor." "If Finley knew about this, you were bound to suffer." "I know. So, don''t tell him, OK?" Thalia pleaded. "Did you talk after that?" "We didn''t have a chance." Thalia suddenly sounded rxed. "Besides, it wasn''t that serious." Alexa did not respond. When they arrived at Thalia''s apartment building, Alexa personally sent Thalia up. "Mr.Ramsey offered to cooperate with me.I''m very grateful for that," Thalia suddenly said. "We are now in transition, and a lot of clients don''t want to work with us anymore." "You are very capable.You can always think of something.What about the Duran Group?" Alexa asked. "The Duran family is now after you and Keyon.I can''t be part of it.Besides, now that I''ve taken over the company, I should achieve something big by myself.Right?" Alexa knew Thalia¡¯s concerns. Once Thalia cooperated with the Duran Group, the situation would be more dangerous and stressful. "Not to mention that ¡­ the wedding has been postponed." Thalia was very upset. "What does Finley say?" "He always lets me have my way, and he doesn''t tell me what he thinks." "Take it easy." Alexa chatted with Thalia for a while in Thalia¡¯s apartment. The more Thalia spoke, the more excited she became. She drank another half a bottle of wine. Alexa could not stop Thalia. She could only stay by Thalia''s side, watching Thalia talk, cry, and vent her emotions. Meanwhile, Terrence was waiting for Alexa downstairs in the car. Then Finley came here. They got out of their cars and greeted each other. "You are back from the hospital?" "Yes.Is Thalia back?" Finley asked, looking a little tired. "Alexa is upstairs with her.She''s not in a good mood." Finley was silent for a moment.It seemed like this was not the first time Finley had dealt with such an issue. "You should talk to her," Terrence suggested. "It''s up to you two to work it out after all." "The Crompton family has gotten mixed up as well." Finley lit a cigarette for the first time, but he held it in his hand and did not smoke. "Her parents met me privately, and it seems to me that they''re going back on it." "What?" "When they put her in charge of thepany, it was really a business marriage essentially."Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. Finley''s tone was as cold as ice. "The man they have chosen for her is called Chuck Wilder.They are negotiating now regarding cooperation." In name, it was cooperation, yet in fact, Thalia was sold by her parents. The Crompton Group is not doing well at the moment, and Chuck happens to be willing to give them both money and resources. Also, Chuck''s family background is much lessplicated than mine," Finley said slowly. "What are you going to do?" "If she really wants to let go, then so be it..." "She is very worried about you.She just had a drink and didn''t want Alexa to tell you, so you wouldn''t worry," Terrence said. Finley didn''t know what to say for a second. When he went upstairs, he happened to bump into Alexa at the door. Alexa was not surprised. Instead, she said in a low voice, "She was on the phone with her parents and argued with them.Talk to her nicely and make her feel better." "OK." Finley nodded, naturally took out the key to open the door, and entered the apartment. Thalia was still angry. When she heard the door open, she asked coldly. "What are you doing here?" "I''m here to see you." "No need." Thalia threw the bottle into the trash can and did not even nce at him. "Where did you get the key?" "It''s the one you left in my study." "I identally dropped it there." Thalia lowered her eyes unnaturally to avoid his gaze. "Give it back to me." "Why did you drink so much?" Finley slowly walked up to her, his gaze cold as he looked at the mess on the coffee table. "I went to see Chuck tonight." She said it loud and clear and stared at Finley, wanting to see his reaction. There was no change in his expression. Finley slowly rolled up his sleeves and began to tidy up the mess in front of him. "What did you talk to him about?" "Business stuff." Thalia propped up her head andzily swept her gaze across his face. "He asked me about my interests and asked me out." Finley suddenly knelt on one knee in front of her, reached out, grabbed her ankles, and put the slippers on for her. "Alright.What else?" His tone was still the same, but when he suddenly looked at her, there seemed to be ayer of mist in his eyes. Thalia felt the strength of his hands on her ankles increase slightly. She looked at Finley without blinking and said slowly. "He offered to give me a ride, but I said no." "Why?" "Because my fianc¨¦ will get angry." She tilted her head innocently. Finley finally let go.He got up and tidied up his clothes. "Go take a bath and then go to bed early." "What about you?" "I''m on duty at the hospital." Thalia suddenly pulled a sullen face, and she picked up a pillow next to her to smash it on him, venting her anger. "Then why are you here? To see if I have been fooling around with some other man?" "That''s not it." Thalia was extremely frustrated, but when she saw him standing in front of her so calmly, she suddenly felt stifled. "Then go ahead and save lives, you great doctor," she said in a fit of pique. "There''s no one here for you to care about." "What do you think of Chuck?" She suddenly sneered. "He has a career and connections, and he can help me a lot when ites to business.My parents like him so much," Thalia said gloomily. The aura around Finley suddenly froze. Until he opened the door and left, the atmosphere in the living room was terrifyingly cold. Thalia was so furious that she was awake the whole night. Early the next morning, she received a call from Chuck. "Are you free today?" "I''m busy. I am busy every day," Thalia said grumpily. "I''m at your parents¡¯ ce, and they asked me to call you back for lunch." Chapter 477 Chapter 477 Chapter 477 Go and Coax Her ¡°Why are you at their ce?¡± Thalia questioned unhappily. ¡°They invited me here, saying that they wanted to discuss business with me.¡± Chuck sounded innocent. Thalia was even more furious. She immediately drove back. James and Elena¡¯s ce was ceremoniously furnished. Obviously, James and Elena cared about Chuck a lot. When Thalia entered, Chuck was chatting happily with Elena. ¡°Thalia, you¡¯re back! Come and chat with Chuck. I¡¯ll go to the kitchen to take a look.¡± Elena was very happy. Thalia curled her lips with a cold face. She sat down at the edge of the sofa, sizing up Chuck with vignce and alienation. ¡°What are you up to?¡± ¡°Why are you so hostile to me? I didn¡¯t do anything, did I?¡± Chuck smiled. Thalia didn¡¯t reply. She didn¡¯t want to talk to him at all. ¡°I heard that you have a boyfriend.¡± ¡°A fianc¨¦,¡± Thalia corrected him seriously. ¡°I see.¡± Chuck did not seem to care at all. ¡°I heard that he is just a doctor. And there is something about his background,¡± he said righteously. ¡°Even though he has some connections with Christina, he has no actual inheritance right.¡± Thalia nced at him with a cold expression. Chuck said coolly. ¡°He won¡¯t be much of a help to you. Break up with him.¡± ¡°Are you nuts?¡± Thalia rolled her eyes and said in an unfriendly tone. Elena happened toe out of the kitchen and saw Thalia, so she hastily called Thalia away. ¡°What did you mean out there? How could you talk to Chuck like that?¡± Elena said with a sullen face. ¡°What is it? Have you settled the price? How much am I worth this time?¡± Thalia sneered. ¡°Chuck is very talented in business, and he wants to be nice to you. You are already twenty-five years old this year.¡± ¡°So?¡± ¡°What¡¯s so good about that doctor? So what if you like him? How is that going to help you? Besides, I don¡¯t see anything good in his personality. You¡¯re made for business. He can¡¯t be of help,¡± Elena said with disappointment and anxiety. Thalia had been quarreling with Finley recently. However, she was still very unhappy with Elena¡¯s words. ¡°I know better than anyone whether he can help me or not.¡± Seeing that Thalia was unwilling to cooperate, Elena was so angry that her face turned livid. ¡°I saw you guysughing happily at the engagement party before.¡± ¡°You¡¯ll be a sinner if you ruin the Crompton family¡¯s business. Don¡¯t be so selfish. Think more about the family.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll give it back to you.¡± Thalia shrugged indifferently. ¡°Let thewyer prepare the materials tomorrow, and I will sign it. I don¡¯t want to be in charge of the company anyway.¡± ¡°Even so, you are not allowed to marry Finley!¡± James and Elena had always been concerned about this. They hadn¡¯t met Finley many times, but he didn¡¯t leave a good overall impression on them. Finley was an aloof man, and he had no intention of being a businessman. On the contrary, Chuck¡¯s father was James¡¯ friend, and Chuck¡¯s family background was less complicated. The Wilder family and the Crompton family went way back, and for James and Elena, Chuck was much easier to control than Finley. Thalia left without even eating. Elena chased after her downstairs, pulling Chuck¡¯s sleeve and crying. ¡°I don¡¯t know how that doctor bewitched her. She doesn¡¯t even listen to me anymore.¡± ¡°Mrs. Crompton, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll go and take a look.¡± ¡°OK.¡± Thalia was about to drive away when she saw Chuck chasing after her. ¡°Mrs. Crompton is very sad. Are you really going to leave?¡± ¡°Chuck, I¡¯ll be blunt with you. I will never break up with Finley. Don¡¯t get involved,¡± she said straightforwardly. ¡°My father is friends with James. Besides, we met a few times when we were young. Also, after I came back this time, I have already turned a few blind dates down,¡± Chuck said calmly. ¡°None of this means anything. I have no feelings for you.¡± There was no smile on Thalia¡¯s face. ¡°Besides, you don¡¯t respect me at all. You know that I have a fianc¨¦, yet you still get involved no matter what I didn''t know before.¡± ¡°Then you were tricked by my parents. I suggest you leave now.¡± As soon as Thalia finished speaking, she drove away. It was time to eat. Thalia drove around the street several times, thought about it, and still went to the restaurant to order a takeout and bring it to the hospital. Finley was not in the office when she arrived. She put the food on the desk and happened to see the notice on it, appointing Finley to go on a business trip. He hadn¡¯t signed yet. When Finley pushed the door open and entered, Thalia was still staring at the paper in a trance. He took off his white coat and walked quietly to his desk. ¡°What are you looking at?¡± ¡°Are you going to go abroad? For three years?¡± Thalia asked without raising her head. ¡°There is a research project in a foreign research institute that is in line with my direction. The dean wants me to give it a go,¡± Finley said in a t tone. ¡°What do you think?¡± When Thalia put down the notice, her voice was trembling slightly. ¡°We are in the middle of a fight. Are you going to leave just like that?¡± ¡°No.¡± Finley wanted to step forward and grab her hand, but she dodged. ¡°I haven¡¯t signed it yet.¡± ¡°So, you want to?¡± Thalia looked at him. ¡°Are you asking for my opinion? Or are you just informing me?¡± ¡°Of course, I want to know your opinion.¡± R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only ¡°What if I say you may go?¡± A trace of astonishment shed across Finley¡¯s eyes. ¡°It will be three years, Finley.¡± She spoke in a low voice, her eyes already red. ¡°Three years is not short.¡± Thalia clearly sounded unwilling. ¡°I won¡¯t go.¡± Finley took the piece of paper and tore it off right in front of her. ¡°I wasn¡¯t being sarcastic.¡± Thalia sighed, not knowing what she should be feeling right now. ¡°You can go if you want, but you must take me with you.¡± ¡°What about yourpany?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care. They can give it to whoever they favor,¡± Thalia said angrily. ¡°Did you quarrel with your parents? You shouldn¡¯t have. You should talk to them nicely and work things out,¡± he said gently. ¡°I can never have a nice conversation with them!¡± Thalia was a little excited at the mention of James and Elena. ¡°They¡¯ve already invited Chuck home. How am I supposed to talk to them?¡± Finley¡¯s body froze slightly. ¡°Finley¡­¡± Thalia said helplessly. ¡°Can¡¯t you be even just a little morepetitive? Are you really not afraid that I will fall in love with others? Or you just simply don¡¯t give a damn?¡± Before Finley could reply, someone knocked on the door. Thalia immediately collected herself. The one who entered was Garry Castle, Finley¡¯s colleague. ¡°Dr. McMin, fancy eating together? The dean will be there as well.¡± As soon as he finished speaking, Garry noticed the figure beside Finley. ¡°Oh, this is¡­¡± ¡°My fianc¨¦e.¡± ¡°Great! We can have lunch together,¡± Garry warmly invited. Thalia figured that they were going to talk about the business trip. She was upset and didn¡¯t want to stay here anymore. ¡°I still have something to do. I¡¯ll get going.¡± Thalia forced a smile and quickly left. Garry nced at Finley sympathetically. ¡°Did you piss your fianc¨¦e off?¡± Finley silently pursed his lips. ¡°What are you waiting for? Go and coax her.¡± Chapter 478 Chapter 478 Chapter 478 How Dare You! Garry pushed Finley to indicate him to chase after Thalia. When Finley reached the garage, Thalia was about to drive away. ¡°What are you doing here? Aren¡¯t you afraid of annoying your superior?¡± ¡°You are angry, aren¡¯t you?¡± Finley¡¯s voice was serious, and Thalia was lost for words for a moment. Seeing that he had even brought the lunchbox just now, Thalia suddenly changed her expression. ¡°Did you mean to return it to me?¡± Finley replied, ¡°No, don¡¯t get me wrong. I don¡¯t want to irritate you.¡± Thalia let out a sigh and cursed Finley in her heart. She got out of the car and went to the passenger seat. ¡°Drive. I haven¡¯t had food yet. Let¡¯s go grab something to eat,¡± Thalia said directly. Finley had gotten into the car. ¡°What do you want to eat?¡± ¡°It¡¯s your call.¡± Thalia was not in high spirits. Finley drove to the restaurant she often went to. Since the restaurant was not far away from where Alexa worked, Thalia called Alexa and invited her over. Finley could tell Thalia¡¯s feelings. So, he remained silent to avoid bothering her. Just as Alexa and Terrence arrived at the restaurant, they could tell that Finley and Thalia had quarreled. Thalia did not say anything about her or Finley. She chatted with Alexa as if nothing had happened. Not long after, Thalia and Alexa went to the bathroom together. Terrence nced at Finley. He asked, ¡°It hasn¡¯t been resolved yet?¡± Finley replied tly, ¡°It¡¯s a little troublesome. Her family is involved.¡± ¡°Did her parents go back on their word?¡± Terrence had heard about James and Elena. It was because they often broke their promises that theirpany had a bad reputation. ¡°Her parents have talked to me a few times. They said that Thalia deserves a better man and wished me to take the initiative to cancel the engagement,¡± said Finley. ¡°You can¡¯t listen to them.¡± Although Finley was a great doctor, he sometimes was aloof and didn¡¯t know how to express his feelings. Terrence added, ¡°At least, you have to tell Thalia that you care about her. Her parents are greedy and want to trade her for money. You have to show your attitude.¡± ¡°I see.¡± Finley took a sip of red wine, seeming to consider Terrence¡¯s words. Just then, Alexa and Thalia returned. Alexa and Terrence exchanged looks. As they started to have the meal, the atmosphere was obviously much better. Although Thalia was still indifferent to Finley, she stopped speaking ironically to him. After lunch, Alexa and Terrence left. ¡°Are you going back to the hospital or¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ll send you back to thepany.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Finley held her hand without hesitation. He pulled her much closer to him. ¡°I¡¯ve thought it through. I won¡¯t stop you from going abroad again,¡± Thalia said slowly. ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about this anymore.¡± Finley paid attention to her emotions, fearing that Thalia would get angry. However, she looked calm. ¡°If you insist on going, I will go with you.¡± Finley rested his hands on the steering wheel and didn¡¯t drive. ¡°What about you? Thalia, will you be happy?¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°You¡¯re supporting me. Then, what about your dream?¡± Finley asked Seriously. ¡°I don¡¯t have any great dreams. As long as I can make money, it¡¯s fine.¡± Thalia shrugged and said casually. ¡°I can run a bar abroad. Anyway, I can do everything.¡± ¡°What if you regret it one day? What if you realize that you made the wrong decision one day?¡± Finley looked at her calmly. ¡°I am not as good as you think.¡± ¡°Finley, no matter what will happen, I can ept it. Moreover, I believe you,¡± Thalia replied with a smile. Finley¡¯s eyes suddenly lit up and were full of affection. ¡°So, the only thing you need to do is to believe in me.¡± Thalia poked him on the chest with her index finger. ¡°Don¡¯t listen to my parents¡¯ nonsense.¡± ¡°When did you know that?¡± Thalia wore a gloomy face. ¡°I knew it from Alexa. If she didn¡¯t tell me, you would hide it from me forever. Is that so?¡± Finley didn¡¯t say anything. His cautious look made Thalia feel bitter. ¡°I¡¯m not angry anymore.¡± ¡°Really?¡± R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only She nodded. ¡°Yes. I don¡¯t want your colleagues to view me as a bad tempered woman.¡± ¡°All of them know that you are a good woman.¡± Finley¡¯s eyes were filled with love. As soon as he and Thalia reached Thalia¡¯s office, they drew a lot of attention. Thalia used to be serious in thepany. It was rare for her to keep smiling. All the others in the company could see that she was in a good mood. ¡°Ms. Crompton, Mr. Wilder is waiting for you in the reception room,¡± Thalia¡¯s assistant said. Hearing this, Thalia subconsciously looked back at Finley. ¡°How about you go to my office and wait for me?¡± Finley¡¯s eyes dimmed. Then, he threw his arm around Thalia¡¯s waist possessively. ¡°I¡¯ll go with you.¡± The assistant, who stood beside them, was secretly surprised. Thalia didn¡¯t refuse Finley and put on a smile. The proud smile on Chuck¡¯s face suddenly froze when he saw Finley. ¡°This is Chuck Wilder, the president of the Wilder Group. This is Finley, my fianc¨¦,¡± Thalia briefly introduced them to each other. ¡°Nice to meet you.¡± Chuck said in a t voice, pretending to be a gentleman. Thalia adjusted her sleeves and revealed the engagement ring on her left hand. ¡°Have you been waiting here for a long time? What brings you here?¡± Thalia smiled politely. ¡°Your mother was worried about you, so she asked me toe to see you.¡± As Chuck spoke, he nced at Finley several times. He hated lofty men like Finley the most. ¡°Finley is with me. No one dares to bully me. You worry too much,¡± Thalia found it funny and said. ¡°I don¡¯t think so. You are too innocent. Don¡¯t you agree with me, Mr. McMin?¡± Chuck asked Finley with a half-smile. ¡°Thalia is my fianc¨¦e. I can take good care of her. You don¡¯t need to worry about her.¡± ¡°Thalia and I are friends. We have known each other since childhood.¡± ¡°We haven¡¯t contacted each other for a long time. Actually, I¡¯m not that familiar with you,¡± Thalia replied without changing her expression. Chuck was a little embarrassed, but he kept it from Finley. ¡°I heard that Dr. McMin works in Lenox Hill Hospital. Is there other business in his family?¡± ¡°Chuck, what makes you care so much about my fianc¨¦?¡± Chuck replied, ¡°You are mistaken. I know he is your fianc¨¦. That¡¯s why I want to know more about him. You don¡¯t know men well. I¡¯m afraid that you will be deceived by hypocritical men.¡± Thalia rolled her eyes. She wanted to leave with Finley, but thetter sat motionlessly. ¡°Mr. Wilder, I agree with what you said. Thalia indeed shouldn¡¯t get in close with men like you.¡± Thalia was shocked at Finley¡¯s direct words. Finley said with a cold smile, ¡°You im to be Thalia¡¯s friend, don¡¯t you? Then, you¡¯d better behave like a friend and not speak nonsense to destroy her peaceful life. Do you understand?¡± ¡°You can¡¯t help her in business. You¡¯d better leave her as soon as possible.¡± Chuck felt himself being above Finley. With a snort, Chuck continued, ¡°How much is your sry? You can¡¯t even provide Thalia with a wealthy life. How dare youpete with me!¡± Chapter 479 Chapter 479 Chapter 479 I Won¡¯t Risk His Life ¡°She¡¯s not a doll that can be snatched away.¡± Finley¡¯s voice was not loud, but it was particrly firm. Thalia looked at him, smiling so gently. Chuck¡¯s face was livid, and he left without a word. The smile on Thalia¡¯s face had yet to fade when she sent Finley to the garage. ¡°What makes you so happy?¡± ¡°Nothing.¡± Thalia held his index finger. She said, overjoyed, ¡°Did you see Chuck¡¯s face just now? He was so angry. It was so funny.¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t look at him.¡± ¡°Go to work.¡± Thalia took the initiative to kiss him. Finley quietly held Thalia¡¯s waist and pressed her to his chest. ¡°I¡¯ll pick you up after work.¡± ¡°Are you busy today?¡± ¡°There¡¯s always time for you.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Thalia chatted with him for a long time. When Alexa drove over, she saw her car. They walked in different directions calmly. When Alexa got out of the car, Finley nodded at her and then drove away. ¡°Ms. Crompton, I came at the wrong time.¡± Thalia pretended not to understand Alexa¡¯s words. ¡°Terrence and you are much more intimate than us.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not the same. Didn¡¯t you two get into a deadlock before? You made up so quickly?¡± Alexa said bluntly. ¡°Dr. McMin is quite smart.¡± Thalia smiled. She loved Finley¡¯s little tricks. Alexa talked to her about cooperation. Thalia mentioned Chuck. ¡°Is he still pestering you?¡± Thalia said, ¡°Chuck¡¯s attitude towards me is strange. I¡¯ve only met him a few times. I don¡¯t know what he¡¯s nning.¡± Alexa said, ¡°Don¡¯t your parents like him a lot? Maybe he has a good rtionship with your parents.¡± ¡°There must be something wrong with things.¡± Thalia seemed a lot more cautious. ¡°I just took over thepany, and he came to me. I have to find out what he is trying to do.¡± ¡°What are your ns for Dr. McMin?¡± Thalia did not answer for a while. Alexa saw through her concerns. Alexa said, ¡°My mother also knows about this. She said that she would find time to persuade Finley. After all, he doesn¡¯t have to go abroad.¡± ¡°If he really wants to go, I won¡¯t stop him.¡± Thalia squeezed out a smile, ¡°Isn¡¯t it just three years?¡± ¡°There are many things that can be changed in three years.¡± ¡°I will talk to him properly.¡± Thalia was reluctant to part with Finley. She was preparing to have a good discussion with Finley at night. However, Thalia received a call from Elena as soon as she got off work. James had a heart attack and was now transferred to the ICU of Lenox Hill Hospital. When Thalia arrived at the hospital, many rtives of the Crompton family were standing in the corridor. Her face turned slightly pale. She asked, ¡°What happened? How is my father?¡± Elena cried and held Thalia¡¯s arm. ¡°Thalia, can you think of a way? No matter how much money we have to pay, we have to cure your father. You have to find a good doctor.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll give Finley a call.¡± ¡°Him? Can he do it?¡± R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only Elena was skeptical. Thalia nced at her coldly, and she instantly became silent. After Finley received the call, he asked his assistant to get the medical record. ¡°Come to my office.¡± Thalia prepared to go over without a word. Elena said, ¡°Is he really capable? He looks quite young and probably has no experience. Why don¡¯t we let Chuck help us? He has so many connections.¡± Thalia said, ¡°Mom, that¡¯s enough. Why are you still thinking about Chuck? If Finley can¡¯t do it, then no one can.¡± Elena didn¡¯t dare to answer and kept crying. When Thalia rushed to Finley¡¯s office, he had already prepared hot tea and handed over a clean handkerchief. She was in a trance and didn¡¯t reach out to take it. Finley gently wiped her tears. He said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry.¡± ¡°Finley, I¡¯m not in a hurry. How is my father?¡± Thalia tried to calm herself down. Finley said coldly, ¡°Dr. White has already told me that your father¡¯s condition is indeed a little tricky. We have to hurry up and do the heart bypass surgery.¡± ¡°What is the probability of sess?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll make a treatment n first. I¡¯ll contact the experts¡¯ groupter.¡± Finley held Thalia¡¯s hand. It was cold. ¡°You can have a rest in my office.¡± He found a nket and put it on her, turning on the heater. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m here.¡± ¡°Finley, but I¡¯m still afraid¡­¡± Thalia had a lump in her throat. It was her father. Although their rtionship wasn¡¯t very good, she didn¡¯t want anything to happen to him. Finley sat down and pulled her into his arms, wiping away the tears on Thalia¡¯s face. ¡°I am fully responsible for your father¡¯s treatment. I won¡¯t let anything happen to him.¡± Thalia was too tired and quickly fell asleep while leaning on his shoulder. Finley tucked her in before going to the ward. Elena stood beside Chuck, her attitude extremely cold towards him. ¡°Where¡¯s my daughter?¡± ¡°She¡¯s resting in my office.¡± Finley replied politely. Elena had nowhere to vent her anger. Chuck said, ¡°How is James¡¯ condition? I have already contacted foreign experts toe over. They will come to take over tomorrow.¡± ¡°Which expert?¡± ¡°Even if I told you, you wouldn¡¯t know him.¡± Finley did not answer Chuck but briefed James¡¯ condition. ¡°The experts¡¯ group will give a treatment n tonight. The surgery must be carried out as soon as possible.¡± Chuck said, ¡°Are you so sure? James cannot afford the consequences of a failed treatment.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t risk his life.¡± Even though Finley was so sure, Elena still did not trust him very much. Finley estimated that Thalia was about to wake up, so he did not stay long. Elena sensed Finley¡¯s cold attitude and felt a burst of anger in her heart. ¡°I don¡¯t know why Thalia likes him.¡± Chuck said, ¡°Elena, it¡¯s fine. Thalia just doesn¡¯t know what kind of person he is yet. I¡¯m willing to wait.¡± ¡°Chuck, Thalia is really lucky. You are so good to her.¡± ¡°When James gets better, I will persuade my father to invest more in the Crompton Group.¡± Elena was overjoyed and appreciated Chuck even more. When Finley returned to the office, he found that Alexa and Terrence were also there. Alexa said, ¡°Mom and Henry sent dinner over. We met downstairs. They are now in the director¡¯s office.¡± Christina was very famous in the medical field. With her, this matter would not be so troublesome. Thalia ate and nced at Finley. ¡°Did you see my mother? She didn¡¯t make things difficult for you, did she?¡± Finley said, ¡°She ns to change doctors. Chuck has invited experts from abroad. They wille to take over James¡¯ treatment tomorrow.¡± Thalia was furious. She was about to argue with Elena when her legs suddenly went weak, and she fell unconscious into Finley¡¯s arms. Chapter 480 Chapter 480 Chapter 480 Pregnancy When Thalia woke up again, she found herself lying on the bed. She moved her hand slightly, and the tip of the needle immediately left a bruise on the back of her hand. ¡°Ms. Crompton, please lie down.¡± The nurse held her head. Thalia still felt dizzy. Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. ¡°Why am I here? Where is Finley?¡± ¡°Dr. McMin is having a consultation. He wants you to have a good rest here.¡± The nurse handed her a ss of hot water. Thalia took a sip and felt a little warm. She suddenly saw the physical check report. ¡°Pregnancy¡­¡± Thalia read out, and her mind went nk. ¡°It¡¯s currently the sixth week of pregnancy. Everything is normal. Congrattions.¡± Thalia did not hear what the nurse was saying at all. She waspletely dumbfounded now. ¡°Could this result be wrong? I have a poor constitution that makes it difficult for me to get pregnant¡­¡± Thalia asked. ¡°The result is correct. Don¡¯t worry.¡± Thalia felt as if she was trembling slightly. ¡°When will Finleye?¡± The nurse noticed that Thalia¡¯s expression was not quite right. ¡°Ms. Crompton, are you feeling unwell?¡± ¡°I want to see Finley, right now!¡± Hearing that she was feeling unwell, Finley immediately rushed over. When Thalia saw him, her eyes turned red. Finley sat down beside her bed and gently pulled her into his arms. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Thalia?¡± Thalia didn¡¯t speak. She held him and cried. Finley gently stroked her back. ¡°Are you afraid?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know how I feel right now.¡± Thalia released him, looking a little dazed. ¡°Should I be happy? Or what should I do? I don¡¯t know.¡± ¡°You just need to tell me the real feeling in your heart.¡± ¡°I think ¡­ I should be happy.¡± Thalia cracked a smile. ¡°But I¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Let¡¯s take it slow.¡± Finley calmed her down, and Thalia looked at him tearfully. She said, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to get pregnant either. I clearly wanted you to go abroad to further your studies.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t go abroad. Even if you didn¡¯t have this child, I wouldn¡¯t have gone abroad,¡± Finley said without hesitation. A hint of surprise appeared in Thalia¡¯s eyes. ¡°After you talked to me that day, I refused to go aboard. Besides, your father¡¯s situation is very critical now,¡± Finley said slowly. ¡°I won¡¯t let Chuck interfere. ¡°There are many top experts in Lenox Hill Hospital. It¡¯s impossible for him to have the final say. So you don¡¯t have to worry.¡± Finley¡¯s voice was not loud, but it was particrly reliable. With him here, Thalia was not so nervous. ¡°Then who else knows about my pregnancy?¡± Finley said seriously, ¡°Just you and me. Thalia, no matter what you n to do, I will respect you.¡± Thalia was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled. ¡°Do you still think I¡¯ll abort the child?¡± Finley did not reply, but his calm gaze had already made everything clear. ¡°We have to develop our rtionship in depth,¡± Thalia said. ¡°We¡¯ll register our marriage tomorrow. The wedding can also be put on the agenda.¡± Finley seemed to be more anxious than her. ¡°I want to personally n the wedding.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± They finished discussing the matter. Thalia told Alexa about this matter. She quickly came over with Christina. They had brought many gifts over, and Christina had even handed over an equity transfer letter to Thalia. ¡°Elena¡­¡± ¡°This was left to Finley by his parents.¡± Christina replied, ¡°It¡¯s just that he chose to study medicine, so thispany has always been managed by me,¡± ¡°I¡¯ve never heard him say this before.¡± ¡°He doesn¡¯t care much about these things, but from now on, this Thalia hurriedly wanted to refuse. ¡®s what I thought too.¡± She looked at Finley, who was standing at the door. ¡°I didn¡¯t tell you before because I was worried that you would feel stressed.¡± ¡°I feel stressed now.¡± Finley smiled, ¡°But you did very well. The Crompton Group has developed very well, so you only need to believe in yourself.¡± ¡°And I have already arranged everything in thepany.¡± Christina patted the back of Thalia¡¯s hand and motioned for Thalia to be at ease. ¡°You only need to take care of your child and your body.¡± ¡°My parents¡­¡± ¡°I have already contacted the experts¡¯ group. Your father¡¯s illness won¡¯t be a big problem.¡± Christina paused slightly, a hint of viciousness shing through her eyes. ¡°As for Chuck, we can just let Finley deal with this kind of person who doesn¡¯t know what¡¯s good for him.¡± Alexa also nodded, indicating for Thalia to rest assured. After Christina left, Alexa chatted with Thalia for a while. She told Thalia some things she had to pay attention to during the pregnancy. Thalia listened very seriously, but she was a little nervous. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. Leave everything to Finley. He is much more professional than me,¡± Alexa said. ¡°He is so busy every day. I don¡¯t want to trouble him with everything.¡± ¡°No matter how busy he is, he must have time for you.¡± Alexa said to Thalia. When Alexa went out, she found that Finley was chatting with Terrence. After seeing Alexa, they separated. ¡°Thalia is going to rest.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll go in and stay with her,¡± Finley said. Terrence pulled Alexa over. ¡°What were you two talking about just now?¡± Alexa asked curiously. ¡°We talked about a bit of parenting experience.¡± Alexa was even more interested. ¡°Dr. McMin has a lot of theoretical knowledge, but he was still nervous when he encountered this situation,¡± Terrence said. ¡°After all, they¡¯re his wife and child. He must be nervous.¡± Alexa tugged at Terrence¡¯s sleeve. ¡°Aren¡¯t you also very nervous?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± Terrence admitted, ¡°After Vernie was born, I had to put more effort into it.¡± ¡°Vernie is a much more docile than Damar.¡± Alexa smiled, ¡°Girls are less naughty than boys.¡± After chatting a few words about children, Terrence asked about her. ¡°Alexa, you¡¯ve had a hard time with thepanytely. How about we find some time to go out for a break?¡± ¡°Sure. But with our two children, there are not many ces we can go, right?¡± Alexa said. ¡°I won¡¯t bring them this time,¡± Terrence said. ¡°Just two of us.¡± Alexa readily agreed. Terrence was very efficient and soon made a few travel ns. ¡°Finley and Thalia should be holding a wedding soon.¡± Terrence was very considerate. ¡°We can also go on a trip after the wedding.¡± ¡°Thalia has already told me. She wants Damar to be the ring bearer,¡± Alexa said. ¡°Okay.¡± ¡°She just got pregnant and has to prepare for the wedding personally. I have to go over often to help her during this period of time.¡± When Terrence heard her talk about the wedding, he suddenly said. ¡°Chuck has been working with Hyman recently.¡± Chapter 481 Chapter 481 Chapter 481 Close Rtionship ¡°Hyman? The husband of Nina?¡± Alexa knew very little about Hyman. She had only seen Hyman twice before, but her impression of Hyman was not very good. ¡°Nina won¡¯t let it go so easily.¡± Hyman had apany under his name, and he was doing well. His strength in the industry was not to be underestimated. ¡°Several big clients of Hudson Group have been taken away by them.¡± Alexa nodded and was more guarded against Hyman. For the next period of time, everyone in the Duran family cared about Thalia. Christina treated Finley as her own son, so she valued Thalia very much. She had sent many gifts and even invited a professional team to take care of Thalia. Finley arranged a VIP ward for Thalia. When he had no work to do, he was almost always by Thalia¡¯s side. ¡°Dr. McMin, when can you let me leave the hospital? I¡¯m quite good.¡± ¡°Not now. Your attending physician did not allow it.¡± ¡°He has already allowed it. He said that you were the one who didn¡¯t allow it,¡± Thalia said. Finley didn¡¯t feel guilty at all. ¡°I was worried.¡± Finley pinched Thalia¡¯s face gently. ¡°I can see you often if you are in the hospital.¡± ¡°But I am bored.¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s go downstairs for a walk.¡± ¡°No need.¡± Thaliay back on the bed and sighed. ¡°I want to drink wine.¡± Finley didn¡¯t say anything and looked at her quietly. Thalia sensed that something was wrong and calmly changed her words. ¡°I¡¯m just thinking about it. I don¡¯t want to drink wine now.¡± ¡°What do you want to have for dinner?¡± ¡°I made an appointment with Alexa in the afternoon to choose the wedding dress. I¡¯ll eat outside tonight.¡± Finley was worried and told her to stay safe. ¡°I know. I know.¡± Thalia nodded repeatedly. ¡°You¡¯re garrulous.¡± ¡°Are youining that I am annoying?¡± There wasn¡¯t much change in Finley¡¯s tone, but it sounded a little aggrieved. It was as if the one pregnant wasn¡¯t Thalia, but him. ¡°I¡¯m not annoyed.¡± Thalia waved her hand to let Finley lean over. She hooked her arm around his neck and kissed him. ¡°I haven¡¯t told my parents about my pregnancy yet. But I don¡¯t intend to tell them,¡± Thalia said. Finley frowned. ¡°You can¡¯t hide it.¡± ¡°Wait until I can¡¯t hide it.¡± Thalia suppressed her emotions. ¡°Of course, I like this child. But my mother may not be. You know that she trusts Chuck very much,¡± Thalia said. It was because of this that Thalia felt that they could do anything. ¡°My mother trusts Chuck very much. She believes whatever Chuck says.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t think about these annoying things.¡± Finley stroked the engagement ring on her finger. ¡°I¡¯m going to meet Chuck tonight.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°I want to talk about business with him.¡± Thalia understood his intention. When Thalia went to choose the wedding dress in the afternoon, Thalia told Alexa about it. ¡°Are you worried about Dr. McMin?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not worried about him. He is quite tough,¡± Thalia replied. The pride in her tone was not fake at all. ¡°We have to ask Dr. McMin to deal with Chuck. Otherwise, he will always have some evil ideas that he should not have,¡± Alexa said slowly. ¡°Why did Chucke to me?¡± Thalia was puzzled. Thalia said, ¡°I don¡¯t have any value, do I? There are many beautiful and rich girls in New York with better conditions than me. He clearly knows that I have a fianc¨¦, but he still deliberately came to pester me.¡± ¡°Terrence said that Chuck and Hyman have cooperation. He should be on the same side as Nina.¡± ¡°So, Chuck wants to rope in the Crompton family to deal with you?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t rule out such a possibility.¡± Alexa had alreadypromised a lot. Thalia sneered, ¡°I already knew that he had bad intentions.¡± They chatted for a while, and the designer came to measure Thalia¡¯s size. ¡°I¡¯m just over a month pregnant now. It¡¯s not too obvious yet.¡± Thalia said with distress, ¡°By the time the wedding takes ce, my waist will be much thicker.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, Ms. Crompton. We can change the size at any time,¡± the designer said with a gentle smile. Thalia chatted with the designer about the wedding dress style. Alexa was waiting for her at the side, and she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of her eye. Hilda looked at her and took the initiative toe over and greet her. ¡°Ms. Rugg.¡± Alexa replied politely and saw the diamond ring on her finger. ¡°What a coincidence,¡± Hilda smiled gently. ¡°I came with a friend to choose a wedding dress.¡± Hilda nced at Thalia and had some impression of Thalia. ¡°Is this Dr. McMin¡¯s fianc¨¦e?¡± ¡°Do you know me?¡± Thalia was a little surprised. ¡°We haven¡¯t seen each other before¡­¡± ¡°Dr. McMin often mentions you in the hospital. That¡¯s why I know you.¡± Hilda was envious. ¡°Everyone is very envious of you. I didn¡¯t expect to see you today.¡± ¡°Oh, hello.¡± Thalia nodded. ¡°Is Damian married?¡± ¡°Yes. Not long ago, he got married to Ms. Molina.¡± Alexa nodded. ¡°It¡¯s pretty good. He caused quite a stir at that time,¡± Hilda said indifferently. That press conference hadpletely humiliated the Peters family. Although Jeffrey and Erica had brought Damian to apologizeter on, Hilda was still quite annoyed. ¡°I deleted his contact information. I haven¡¯t had the time to congratte them.¡± ¡°Ms. Rugg, if you need it, I can pass on a message for you.¡± As soon as Alexa finished speaking, a man came over and held Hilda. ¡°Are you done?¡± He asked. ¡°Yes. Have you arranged the wedding?¡± Hilda looked annoyed. ¡°Everything has been arranged ording to your parents¡¯ wishes.¡± ¡°OK.¡± Hilda nodded and led the way. ¡°I¡¯ve seen that man before. He¡¯s Austin Bethell, the son of the Bethell family. He worked with the Crompton Group once,¡± Thalia said. ¡°Hilda¡¯s marriage with him looks like a business marriage alliance.¡± Thalia nodded. ¡°Indeed. But she is also quite pathetic. She has always been under the control of her family and has chosen two men who she does not like.¡± Alexa looked at Hilda¡¯s back and felt a bit of sympathy for her. When they finished choosing their styles and left the wedding dress store, Finley had already followed Christina to the hotel. Chuck had not expected Finley toe back. Chuck was surprised when he sat down. ¡°Mr. McMin, are you nning to be a businessman?¡± Chuck said. Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. ¡°I don¡¯t know much about it. However, my wife is good at it.¡± Finley replied with a faint smile, his eyes sharp. Chuck had always disliked his appearance. ¡°Dr. McMin, I¡¯ll have to trouble you with James¡¯ illness. I will definitely repay you greatly after he is cured.¡± ¡°Mr. Wilder, don¡¯t be,¡± Christina smiled and said. ¡°Why do you have to thank Mr. Crompton¡¯s son-inw?¡± Chuck could not answer for a moment, and he had to smile awkwardly. Finley sessfully talked about this business. The business partner praised Finley greatly, and Chuck¡¯s face turned livid. ¡°If not for you, I would have helped her.¡± Chuck deliberately said, ¡°After all, I have a ¡®close rtionship¡¯ with her.¡± Chapter 482 Chapter 482 Chapter 482 Don¡¯t Threaten Me ¡°So what?¡± Finley asked in a t tone, but Chuck did not answer. ¡°My wife clearly rejected you, and you still repeatedly crossed the bottom line.¡± He nced coldly at Chuck. ¡°What are your intentions?¡± Chuck felt a little embarrassed after being questioned by Finley on the spot. ¡°Our family and the Crompton family are old friends. Can¡¯t I just care about her?¡± ¡°You can¡¯t.¡± Finley said coldly, not even looking at him. Chuck did not gain the upper hand, and he went to drink wine as soon as the meeting ended. In the noisy separate room, someone put his hand on Chuck¡¯s shoulder. ¡°Why did youe to Thalia? Do you want that kind of woman?¡± Chuck threw away the bottle and sneered. ¡°Do you want her?¡± That person smiled, ¡°No, I can¡¯t bear it. I heard that she dated a lot of men before. Now she married a doctor.¡± As soon as Finley was mentioned, Chuck was furious. ¡°He¡¯s nothing to me. How dare he go against me?¡± The separate room was bustling with noise when the door suddenly opened. Seeing the woman at the door, all the men who had beenughing just now were silent, leaving only the noisy music still ringing. Chuck respectfully got up and let her in. He honestly called out, ¡°Nina.¡± Nina calmly stroked her shawl and smiled. ¡°Continue. You make it seem like I¡¯m here to stir up trouble.¡± They repeatedly ttered her and continued to drink wine. Chuck sat next to her and put out the cigarette. ¡°Nina, did youe here alone?¡± ¡°I came to talk to you.¡± Nina¡¯s tone was t. Chuck said with a sad face, ¡°I failed. The doctor was not so simple. He made up for the Crompton Group¡¯s deficiency.¡± Nina did not mind his words. ¡°Finley has the support of the Duran Group behind him, and the Crompton Group has his support. How can it be so easy?¡± ¡°I¡­¡± ¡°I only asked you to investigate. Who asked you to put yourself in danger?¡± After being busy for so long, it turned out that he was just being fooled. Chuck felt ufortable. ¡°I came to find you today because I have something else to ask you.¡± Nina nced at him, her tone much colder. ¡°Has Hyman been dating other womentely?¡± A hint of surprise appeared in Chuck¡¯s eyes. ¡°Nina, how would I know?¡± Nina ignored him and ced her hand on Chuck¡¯s shoulder. ¡°I heard that Hyman introduced a few more big clients to you recently.¡± Chuck casually replied. ¡°Were you the one who introduced that woman to him?¡± ¡°Nina, how would I dare do such a thing?¡± There was no smile on Nina¡¯s face. Chuck felt that she knew something. She got up and tidied her clothes. She said coldly, ¡°Don¡¯t forget that he has a family.¡± Chuck forced a smile. After Nina left, the others came over to inquire. Chuck pushed them away with a gloomy face and called Hyman absentmindedly. Hyman obviously did not take it seriously. ¡°Did she find out?¡± ¡°Of course. Otherwise, she wouldn¡¯te to ask me,¡± Chuck said nervously. ¡°What are you afraid of?¡± Hyman smiled. When Chuck heard a woman¡¯s voice from the handset, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat. ¡°You better restrain yourself.¡± Hyman responded perfunctorily with a few words before hanging up the phone. The next night, he made a business negotiation with Terrence. Terrence and Alexa came together. When Hyman saw them, he deliberately asked. ¡°I brought my family here. You two don¡¯t mind, do you?¡± Alexa was ready to meet Nina, but the one who came in was a young woman. Hyman stepped forward to hold her by the waist and sat down. They looked intimate. ¡°Oh, this is my assistant, Irene Carew.¡± Terrence nced at them coldly and did not want to talk to them at all. Alexa forced a smile, not showing much kindness. Irene didn¡¯t care about them and kept whispering in Hyman¡¯s ear. ¡°I¡¯ll buy it for youter. Let¡¯s eat first.¡± Hyman coaxed her with an extremely gentle tone. Alexa¡¯s attitude towards him was originally not very good. She even felt a little sick to her stomach now. When the other partner came, they finally restrained themselves a little. When Alexa went to the bathroom, Irene also came over to freshen up. ¡°I heard that Mr. Fillion¡¯s wife is also from the Ramsey family, right?¡± ¡°So you know that he has a family?¡± ¡°I know.¡± Irene shrugged indifferently. ¡°But so what? They have long been separated from each other. Even without me, he would also date other women.¡± Alexa did not want to talk nonsense with her. She received a message from Terrence and learned that the meeting had ended. When Alexa went out, Terrence was waiting for her at the door of the separate room. ¡°Did Hyman leave?¡± Alexa asked in a low voice. ¡°Nina came.¡± As soon as Terrence finished speaking, Alexa saw Nina and Hyman standing at the end of the corridor. Nina looked angry as if she was arguing with Hyman. When Irene came out, Hyman immediately came over. ¡°Irene, let¡¯s go.¡± Irene grabbed his arm and looked at Nina. ¡°Ignore her.¡± Alexa and Terrence were still here, so Nina did not want to re up on the spot. Irene and Hyman had gone too far. ¡°Hyman,e here.¡± Nina said coldly, but Hyman ignored her. Nina stood still, while Irene stood beside Hyman, not daring to say anything. ¡°You go back first,¡± Hyman impatiently said to Nina. ¡°I¡¯m talking about business. What are you doing here?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you done talking?¡± Nina nced at Alexa and Terrence. Terrence did not want to get involved with them, so he left with Alexa. As soon as they left, Nina stopped pretending. ¡°Are you still holding him?¡± Nina sneered, ¡°You can¡¯t even walk without a man, right?¡± ¡°That¡¯s enough. You¡¯ll frighten her.¡± Hyman had no expression on his face, but he was deliberately saying this to anger Nina. ¡°Okay.¡± Nina nced at Irene, who was indeed frightened by her. ¡°Mr. Fillion, I¡¯d better go back first. You don¡¯t have to send me off.¡± Hyman¡¯s expression was also extremely gloomy. He casually waved his hand, imploring Irene to leave. ¡°Hyman, what do you mean?¡± ¡°That¡¯s what I meant. We can get a divorce,¡± Hyman said. ¡°Don¡¯t threaten me with divorce. Don¡¯t forget who supported thepany under your name,¡± Nina sneered. ¡°This happened more than ten years ago. Is there any point in talking R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only about this now?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be so ungrateful. If not for my dad, can you make that much money?¡± ¡°Will you and your dad be able to continue living in the Ramsey family?¡± Hyman was down.¡± Chapter 483 Chapter 483 Chapter 483 Deal With Your Son ¡°Drag you down?¡± Nina immediatelyughed in anger. She immediately wanted to re up. Hyman frowned in frustration and said coldly. ¡°Don¡¯t make a fuss here. Someone might make a video and post it on the Inte.¡± ¡°What you did is better?¡± Nina pushed him and continued, ¡°Now that something happened to me in thepany, you want to add insult to injury. Hyman, you really are something.¡± ¡°Did something happen to you? I told you not to interact with Jovan. Did you listen to me? If the things he did were exposed, do you think you can escape?¡± Hyman said unhappily. Hearing Hyman say that, Nina actually felt a little regretful. But now that things hade to this, she did not want to admit she was wrong. ¡°Don¡¯t dismiss the responsibility. Didn¡¯t you also participate when we split the money?¡± ¡°If you have the mood to quarrel with me here, why don¡¯t you find Derick and settle it as soon as possible? He has a lot of evidence,¡± Hyman said darkly. ¡°I don¡¯t need you to teach me how to do things.¡± Nina said with a livid face. Then, she stormed off in her high heels. Hyman didn¡¯t go back with her but called a few friends to drink. And at this time, Alexa and Terrence were on their way home. ¡°So Nina and Hyman have gotten to this point?¡± Alexa sighed with emotion. Just now, she and Terrence had been present, but Nina had looked angry. Nina hadn¡¯t bothered to pretend for Hyman. ¡°They have always been like this.¡± Terrence said calmly, ¡°Over the years, Hyman has had many women. Nina should know about it and has dealt with many of them.¡± ¡°Then howe they are together for so long?¡± ¡°Some people don¡¯t date because of love.¡± Terrence said lightly, ¡°They do it for interest.¡± It seemed Hyman already knew something, which was why he was in a hurry to draw R¨ºAdt??St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only a clear line with Nina. Terrence didn¡¯t want Alexa to worry, so he didn¡¯t tell them about it for the time being. When they were almost home, Sasha called and asked them to go out for dinner tomorrow. Alexa agreed. The next day, when Alexa went to the dinner party, she took Verna with her. Terrence was holding Verna all the time, and Sasha stared at the little girl for a long time without finding a chance to hold her. Noticing Sasha liked the girl so much, Damian whispered in her ear. ¡°You like the child so much. Shall we have one ourselves?¡± Alexa heard it and looked at Sasha subtly. Sasha was a little embarrassed as she lowered her head to stir up the sugar cubes in her coffee cup and nudged Damian. ¡°Shut up.¡± Damian smiled and did what Sasha told him to. ¡°Have you been busy with the weddingtely?¡± Alexa asked. ¡°He did all the work.¡± Sasha looked at Damian and said, ¡°I¡¯m still going to work every day. When the timees, I will just have to be the bride.¡± The Peters family valued Sasha. They spent millions of dors on the wedding. In the past few weeks since Sasha and Damian registered their marriage, Jeffrey and Erica had given her a lot of jewelry and even the shares of the Peters Group. Sasha looked much better and was happy every day. ¡°Vernie is so cute. The more I look at her, the more I want a daughter.¡± ¡°Okay, I will work hard for it,¡± Damian immediately said. In fact, Damian had been paying attention to Terrence. After having a daughter, Terrence seemed to have be a different person, and his gaze was so soft. His eyes never left the girl. ¡°But I will be reluctant to part with her.¡± Sasha sighed. ¡°If she finds someone she likes when she grows up, she will throw herself at him.¡± Terrence¡¯s eyes flickered slightly. Verna held Terrence¡¯s tie and yed with it, not knowing what these adults were talking about. Alexa agreed with Sasha. ¡°It is indeed easier for girls to get hurt in rtionships.¡± ¡°So, when Vernie grows up and needs to find a boyfriend, you must help her decide, in case she gets hurt,¡± Sasha said with experience. ¡°She won¡¯t get hurt.¡± Terrence suddenly said confidently, and Alexa immediately looked at him with a simper. She could imagine Verna¡¯s other half would experience a lot of trials¡­ Going home after dinner, Terrence still looked sullen. Alexa sat with Verna in the back seats, making herugh. Terrence thought of Sasha¡¯s words and felt a little more bitter. ¡°Marriage isn¡¯t a must for Vernie¡­¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Alexa nodded. ¡°But it will be her decision to make. If she meets someone she likes, we can only let go. It¡¯s the same with Damarion.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t bear to let go. If she is hurt, I will not let that jerk off,¡± Terrence whispered. ¡°Our daughter won¡¯t be hurt. Vernie will find her own path. I believe she will grow into a brave and confident woman,¡± Alexa said firmly. ¡°Yes.¡± Terrence nodded and agreed. After sending Alexa and Verna home, Terrence drove to thepany. The board of directors had been doing a lot recently, but they were all about Nina. As soon as he arrived at the meeting room, someone handed him a report of asset investigation. ¡°Mr. Ramsey, all the illegal assets under Nina¡¯s name have been frozen.¡± A director said, ¡°She took advantage of her position to encroach on the there is no way to exin it to everyone.¡± Terrence listened silently and let them express their opinions at once. ¡°I will give everyone an exnation for this.¡± After Terrence said that, the other people were relieved. When Nina received the news, she was putting her son to bed at home. She calmly left her son¡¯s room and sneered disdainfully. vestigate me? Do they have evidence?¡± ¡°Boss, should we tell Mr. Ramsey about this first?¡± ¡°My dad doesn¡¯t care about these things.¡± Nina rolled her eyes, looking very annoyed. ¡°No man is reliable.¡± She sent the secretary away, then sat on the sofa, and asked Ruth Carr to open a bottle of red wine. ¡°Mrs. Fillion, do you still need to call Mr. Fillion today?¡± ¡°Leave him be.¡± Nina said with a cold face. Ruth did not dare to answer. But Ruth nced at the time. It was almost dawn. Nina¡¯s face was extremely sour. She said snappily. ¡°Call him and tell him toe back immediately.¡± ¡°Yes, Mrs. Fillion.¡± Ruth called several times, but no one answered the phone. ¡°Mrs. Fillion, he might be busy.¡± ¡°Heh. I wonder which woman he is fooling around with,¡± Nina smiled sinisterly. Nina called Hyman personally. This time, he picked up, but his attitude was not good. ¡°Come back and deal with your son,¡± Nina said coldly. Chapter 484 Chapter 484 Chapter 484 Other Men This time, Hyman did not refuse. In less than twenty minutes, he drove back. Hyman acted as if he did not see Nina and took off his coat, throwing it on the sofa. Nina smelled a pungent fragrance and immediately got angry. She grabbed his coat and threw it outside the door. Hyman stopped at the stairs and asked gloomily. ¡°What is this?¡± Nina shrugged indifferently, not even giving him a nce. ¡°It¡¯s dirty.¡± After that, she poured herself a ss of champagne and continued to taste it. ¡°Okay, I won¡¯t bring it back again.¡± Hyman said in a strange tone and went upstairs. Nina suddenly did not want him to see his son. But when she walked to the door of the room, she found Hyman carefully tucking his son in. She had never seen that gentle expression on his face before. Hyman turned around and saw Nina. The smile on Hyman¡¯s face immediately disappeared. When he walked out and closed the door, his face was cold again. ¡°You still remember you have a son, huh?¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t I remember? I have never neglected Cole. How many times have you taken care of him?¡± Hyman asked calmly. ¡°I spent a lot of money on my son. Hyman, don¡¯t always talk about these things,¡± Nina said with dissatisfaction. ¡°I have been taking care of Cole. You rarely came home. You only took him to your side when he was four,¡± Hyman retorted. ¡°I was also busy with work. I had no choice.¡± ¡°Is that so? Did you have other men?¡± ¡°Hyman, what nonsense are you talking about?¡± ¡°Your father has been hiding everything for you. Do you really think I don¡¯t know?¡± ¡°What nonsense are you talking about?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk to me like that. Just tell me if you have other men. When I wasn¡¯t around, you fooled around, right?¡± Hyman said resolutely. ¡°I¡¯ve done nothing like that.¡± Nina replied lightly, not wanting to say anything more to him. ¡°Did you transfer your property long ago?¡± Hyman was ready to fall out with her. Nina curled her lips and said. ¡°My assets are all for my son.¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t believe me?¡± ¡°Why wouldn¡¯t I believe you?¡± Hyman replied lightly and turned to go upstairs. Nina was so angry that she repeatedly rubbed her chest. ¡°Mrs. Fillion, do you need some tea to calm your nerves?¡± ¡°No.¡± Nina¡¯s expression was sour. She sat downstairs for a while before returning to the bedroom. Hyman had just taken a shower and seemed to be preparing to go out again. ¡°Where are you going?¡± ¡°Why do you ask so many questions?¡± Nina couldn¡¯t take it anymore and said. ¡°After we divorce, I will have custody of our son.¡± ¡°Divorce? It¡¯s easy for you to say. I won¡¯t agree to divorce until the assets are clearly divided,¡± Hyman chuckled. ¡°Hyman, are you kidding me?¡± ¡°I suggest you do less shameful things.¡± Hyman said coldly, then mmed the door, and left. He had apany under his name, so he didn¡¯t need to rely on Nina. He could turn a blind eye to what Nina normally did. But she was too greedy. She was not Terrence¡¯s opponent, but she had topete with him. After Hyman left, he went to the bar. He did not call anyone and nned to drink alone. He did not expect to meet Terrence in the bar¡¯s corridor. Hyman felt Terrence was always a good man, and he did not expect to see him here. ¡°You also came out to y?¡± Hyman greeted Terrence. ¡°Let¡¯s have a drink together?¡± ¡°No.¡± Terrence¡¯s attitude towards him was cold. ¡°I¡¯m here to pick up my wife.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Hyman nodded and suddenly remembered to say. ¡°You and your wife have a good rtionship. How many years have you been married?¡± ¡°Almost ten years,¡± Terrence said lightly. ¡°You are still not sick of it?¡± ¡°No.¡± Terrence did not want to talk to him too much, so Terrence didn¡¯t start a T¨ºxt ? N?velDrama.Org. topic. Hyman could tell Terrence didn¡¯t want to chat, so Hyman stopped talking. Terrence went to a private room and found Alexa. Thalia and Sasha were also there, and their friends were present. There were no other men present. When Terrence came to the door, Thalia took the lead and said. ¡°Alexa, your husband is here.¡± Terrence took the opportunity to tie a scarf for Alexa. ¡°It¡¯s cold outside.¡± He sat quietly beside Alexa and did not urge her. However, Terrence was holding her hand and secretly ying with it. His eyes were full of desire for Alexa. Her other friends all left one after another. Sasha sat calmly, waiting for Damian to pick her up. Thalia continued to drink half a ss of juice and did not seem to intend to leave. It was gettingte. Alexa said. ¡°We¡¯ll drive you back.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to go back. Finley always told me to lie down and rest. I¡¯m bing silly because of it.¡± Thalia pouted. ¡°You are so careless. You dared toe out and y like this being pregnant,¡± Alexa said fearfully. ¡°That¡¯s why I didn¡¯t dare to tell Finley that I snuck out.¡± Alexa immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. Alexa just wanted to help Thalia relieve her boredom, but Alexa didn¡¯t expect Finley to not know about this. ¡°Thalia, if anything happens to you, Finley will probably hate my guts,¡± Alexa said helplessly. ¡°He¡¯s just too nervous.¡± Thalia waved her hand. ¡°And he¡¯s on night duty tonight. He doesn¡¯t know I am out. I will go back after I get enough fresh air.¡± ¡°You remember I am on night duty tonight.¡± Finley suddenly spoke, and they all looked at the door in surprise. Finley¡¯s eyes were dull, and he didn¡¯t seem to have any emotions. But when that calm gaze was directed at her, Thalia inexplicably felt a little guilty. She chuckled with embarrassment and looked at Alexa like she was asking for help. But Alexa indicated she wouldn¡¯t help and left with Terrence. ¡°Damian is here. I will go downstairs.¡± Once Sasha left, they were alone in the room. Thalia silently pushed a ss of fruit juice in front of Finley. ¡°Do you want to drink?¡± Finley stared at her with a faint smile. Thalia stroked her belly and said pitifully. ¡°Finley, my stomach hurts.¡± His expression instantly became nervous. ¡°Let¡¯s go to the hospital now.¡± ¡°If you talk to me, it won¡¯t hurt anymore.¡± Finley¡¯s expression immediately softened. He couldn¡¯t get mad at her. But even if Thalia hadn¡¯t said that, he still wouldn¡¯t snap at her. ¡°I¡¯m just nervous.¡± Thalia exined, ¡°With what happened to my father and my pregnancy, I have to find an emotional outlet, right?¡± Finley listened to her seriously. ¡°And I didn¡¯t drink a single drop of wine. I only drank two sses of fruit juice and chatted with them for a while.¡± ¡°If you have something bottled up again, talk to me first.¡± ¡°I want to talk to you, but you are busy.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not busy. I will always have time for you.¡± ¡°Hubby, you¡¯re the best!¡± Thalia took his arm. Finley froze. ¡°What did you call me?¡± Chapter 485 Chapter 485 Chapter 485 Be Realistic ¡°Hubby. You like it? Then should I say that again?¡± Thalia asked in a normal tone. After all, they had registered their marriage, so Thalia feltfortable saying that. However, Finley didn¡¯t reply immediately. Instead, he looked at her with an innocent and expectant face. Thalia was shocked for a moment. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re going to blush for this?¡± ¡°Why can¡¯t I?¡± Finley answered weakly, his voice not confident. Thalia willfully flung her arms around his neck and tiptoed to kiss Finley on the lips. ¡°Why are you so cute?¡± Finley took the opportunity to hold her around the waist and said. ¡°You are also cute.¡± ¡°Do you have to go back to the hospital to workter?¡± ¡°No. I came after I finished my shift,¡± said Finley as he opened the car door for her. Thalia looked at the time. It was already three o¡¯clock. ¡°It¡¯s a littlete¡­¡± She answered weakly andughed dryly at Finley. Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. He stared at her silently. They reached a tacit understanding. ¡°You can¡¯t do this again,¡± he said, unwilling to let go. Thalia was ready to listen to his nagging, but Finley only said. ¡°If you feel ufortable anywhere, tell me at any time. Don¡¯t hide it from me.¡± When he returned home today, he found the house empty. It felt like a hole had been dug into his chest. He was not in a hurry to drive and gripped Thalia¡¯s hand. ¡°Why do you look more nervous than I am after I am pregnant?¡± Thalia asked with a smile. ¡°Not really.¡± Finley kissed her on the back of her hand before starting the car. ¡°I had been nervous before you got pregnant. As long as I didn¡¯t see you, my heart lurched.¡± ¡°I¡¯m an adult. I can take good care of myself. Don¡¯t treat me like a child.¡± Although Thalia said that, she felt warm. Finley looked indifferent, but he was always patient with her. They had been together for so long, and Finley had never yelled at her once. Sometimes, when Thalia provoked him, Finley only sulked. Not long after, he would try to cheer her up. ¡°It seems I have caused you trouble.¡± Finley narrowed his eyes, looking a little disappointed. Thalia immediately felt guilty. ¡°That¡¯s not what I meant. Don¡¯t think too much about it.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go home first.¡± A smile touched Finley¡¯s eyes. Finley and Thalia¡¯s wedding was approaching. Thalia had been nning the wedding recently. She did not hire any team and did everything herself. Alexa was afraid she would be tired, so she came to see Thalia every day and asked several designers to help. When Alexa arrived at their house today, it was already afternoon. Thalia just woke up. ¡°How do you feel today? I heard from Dr. McMin that you haven¡¯t been resting well recently?¡± ¡°Maybe it is because of the early stage of pregnancy? But when Finley is by my side, I can rest well.¡± Thalia yawned. ¡°He¡¯s been busy with your father¡¯s matter recently. He will have time after that.¡± Thalia didn¡¯t say it, but she was quite worried about her father. However, after Finley took over, he told her good news every day, so Thalia was not so nervous. ¡°My father has been taken care of by my mother recently. Previously, ¡°Then do you want to go to the hospital to take a look? I will go with you,¡± Alexa said. ¡°I will go thereter.¡± Thalia bought fruits and tonics. Before Thalia came to the hospital, she didn¡¯t tell Elena, so when Thalia came to the ward, everyone was quite surprised. Chuck was sitting there, and Thalia was a little annoyed. ¡°Thalia.¡± Elena called out to her, her eyes red. Obviously, Elena had just cried not long ago. James was awake, but he looked haggard. ¡°Dad.¡± Thalia said softly and ced the things on the cab. ¡°Where have you been these past few days?¡± James didn¡¯t look happy. ¡°Thalia, where have you been? Finley said that you were not in good health recently and had been recuperating?¡± Elena asked. ¡°Yes.¡± Thalia chose the farthest seat and sat down. Chuck poured her a ss of water, and Thalia¡¯s face turned even colder. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± ¡°I¡¯m free today. I came to see James.¡± ¡°I have hired a nurse to take care of him. You don¡¯t have toe. Don¡¯t think about getting any benefits from me,¡± Thalia said bluntly. ¡°Thalia, I won¡¯t do that.¡± Chuck was still polite, which made Elena feel sorry. ¡°Thalia, how can you talk to Chuck like this? He is concerned about you, so hees to us every day to find you,¡± Elena said with a straight face. ¡°Oh, that¡¯s unfortunate. I am living with Finley,¡± Thalia said lightly. Chuck¡¯s face turned pale from her retort. James looked displeased. Sensing they had something to talk about, Chuck found an excuse to go out. As soon as the door closed, James asked. ¡°You haven¡¯t broken up with Finley yet?¡± ¡°No. Why would I do so?¡± ¡°Thalia, be realistic. You can go out with him, but you have to marry someone who can help you in your career,¡± James said. ¡°Yes, Finley is just a doctor, and he is not sophisticated,¡± Elena said. Previously, because of Chuck, Finley had only been polite to Elena and James when he saw them. Elena was always biased against Finley, so now she even thought less of him. ¡°He works in the hospital. There are many young girls around him every day¡­¡± ¡°He is a doctor. Of course, many people are around him.¡± Thalia was so protective of Finley, so Elena and James looked unhappy. ¡°Chuck is a good man. He is filial and driven. He likes you and doesn¡¯t mind your past,¡± Elena said. Thalia listened with a faint smile. ¡°I am pregnant,¡± she said. With a ng, the ss in James¡¯ hand fell to the ground and shattered. ¡°What did you say?¡± Elena and James asked in unison. ¡°I¡¯m pregnant. The child is Finley¡¯s. We are married. Now we are preparing for the wedding,¡± Thalia said in a t tone. ¡°Thalia, why didn¡¯t you tell us about this? Why didn¡¯t you discuss it with us?¡± Elena was so angry that her face turned red, and she gasped violently. ¡°Why should I discuss it with you? Haven¡¯t you decided to pick Chuck?¡± Thalia asked calmly. ¡°He helped our family a lot and even found a doctor for your father.¡± ¡°Help?¡± Thalia sneered, ¡°With his help, the Crompton Group¡¯s stock has fallen for a week. The board of directors still thought it was my problem and never doubted Chuck.¡± James was most concerned about thepany, so after Thalia finished speaking, he did not immediately retort. ¡°Investigate it first,¡± James said gloomily Chapter 486 Chapter 486 Chapter 486 You Are the Best in My Heart As soon as they finished speaking, Chuck came back. Thalia stopped talking abruptly, obviously on guard against him. Chuck pretended not to notice it and was still attentive to James and Elena. But Thalia had just confessed her pregnancy, and Elena¡¯s attitude toward Chuck suddenly became a little awkward. ¡°I have something to discuss with Finley. I¡¯ll head over first.¡± Elena nodded with a sour face and sighed helplessly. After Thalia left, Elena spoke to Chuck. Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org. ¡°Chuck, thank you for your help during this time.¡± ¡°Elena, you don¡¯t have to be so polite. This is what I should do.¡± Chuck smiled brightly, looking like he did not have any bad intentions. ¡°About you and Thalia, we are sorry. She is determined to marry Finley. I will find you a good match.¡± With that said, there was no need for Chuck to continue pleasing Elena. ¡°Elena, you are so polite. I don¡¯t have any special feelings for Thalia. I just treat her as a friend. I only want her to be happy.¡± ¡°Emm, that¡¯s good.¡± Elena nodded happily, indicating James should also say something. ¡°On the day of the wedding,e and have a few drinks.¡± ¡°Okay, thank you, James.¡± Chuck chatted with them in the sick room for a while before leaving absent-mindedly. When he closed the door, a look of annoyance shed across Chuck¡¯s eyes. He felt he should have acted earlier. Thalia must be suspecting him now. Chuck had nted a few trusted aides in the Crompton Group, but they had all been fired by Thalia a few days ago. Chuck did not expect Thalia to be waiting at the corner of the corridor. ¡°Are you waiting for Finley?¡± Chuck asked. ¡°You seem to be concerned about my matters. What did you say to my parents just now? Are you trying to sow discord again?¡± Thalia asked coldly. ¡°Am I really that bad in your eyes?¡± ¡°Oh, I¡¯m cautious. Don¡¯t mind it,¡± Thalia said unconcernedly. She imitated Chuck¡¯s tone and spoke with a cold gaze. ¡°You are hurting my self-esteem a little. After all, I really wanted to help you before,¡± Chuck said rather seriously. ¡°You know best whether you want to help me or have other motives.¡± He was shocked that Thalia only looked stupid, but she was actually quite smart. ¡°Did Finley tell you all this?¡± ¡°My husband is busy all day and doesn¡¯t have time to pay attention to you.¡± ¡°He has your favor.¡± As soon as Chuck finished speaking, he nced behind Thalia indifferently. Finley walked over and naturally embraced her. ¡°I am sorry I kept you waiting for so long. Just now, a patient suddenly looked for me.¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter. I didn¡¯t wait long.¡± Thalia¡¯s tone suddenly became gentle. Chuck stood rooted to the ground, a little embarrassed. Finley nced at him before leaving with Thalia. ¡°Is there anything else, Mr. Wilder?¡± ¡°Oh, there is nothing else. Let¡¯s go,¡± Thalia said in a t tone. Thalia did not take Chuck seriously. After getting in the car, she chose a restaurant nearby. Finley told her in detail about James¡¯ situation. ¡°With you here, of course I will be at ease.¡± After Thalia finished speaking, she added. ¡°Thepany may be a little busy recently. I have to go there often.¡± Finley warned Thalia repeatedly, and Thalia listened to him earnestly. ¡°I¡¯ll take you to and from work. I¡¯ll be responsible for your meals,¡± said Finley. ¡°You are busy in the hospital. Can you handle them?¡± ¡°I¡¯m mainly responsible for your dad recently. When I¡¯m not in the hospital, I¡¯ll find you.¡± Hearing Finley say so, Thalia was moved. After all, what her parents did was not kind. An ordinary person would have been driven away long ago. ¡°You have been in contact with them recently. Did they make things difficult for you?¡± ¡°We mainly talked about his illness.¡± Finley answered lightly, but Thalia understood it. ¡°If they talk nonsense again, tell me.¡± ¡°I am the junior. It¡¯s fine if they scold me asionally. If I don¡¯t do a good job, I will change my ways,¡± Finley said gently. ¡°What did you do wrong? You are the best in my heart. I can¡¯t stand others ndering you,¡± Thalia retorted immediately. Finley answered her with a smile and stopped talking about her parents. After lunch, Thalia received a message from her assistant. She took the time to meet Alexa in the afternoon. Thalia showed the information to Alexa. ¡°There is indeed something wrong with Chuck.¡± Alexa looked at the information and was not surprised by the result. ¡°He is cooperating with Nina, and Hyman is also involved.¡± Alexa chuckled, ¡°Earning money from both sides?¡± ¡°It should be Nina who taught him to short the Crompton Group. Otherwise, with Chuck¡¯s brain, he would not have thought of these methods.¡± ¡°As expected, profit is the most important thing in the business world. Recently, Nina has been cashing out everywhere. I¡¯m afraid she will run away with money.¡± After all, what Nina had done in the French branch was rted to Jovan. Jovan had fought with the Ramsey family for so many years and had grudges. Ever since Alexa and Terrence reconciled, Jovan had suppressed Alexa. Anyone who knew Alexa would be targeted by Jovan. ¡°I¡¯m really sorry to have implicated you in this.¡± ¡°The business world is filled with strife. Moreover, I¡¯m a tough woman now.¡± Thalia smiled lightly. ¡°Take care of yourself. Leave these things to me,¡± Alexa said without hesitation. Thalia trusted Alexa very much, so she nodded. Alexa went to Hudson Group. Terrence was in a meeting, so she waited for him in the office. When the secretary came over with the tea, she said. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey, Ms. Nina Ramsey oftenes to the office to look for Mr. Ramsey recently.¡± ¡°Oh, is that so? What did they talk about?¡± Alexa asked calmly. ¡°Probably because she was dissatisfied with the arrangement of the board of directors, so Ms. Ramsey often came to find fault with Mr. Ramsey.¡± Nina was so keen on power and influence that she would not stand it once she lost her power. Alexa chatted with the secretary for a while, and then there was amotion outside the door. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Ms. Ramsey. You can¡¯t go in¡­¡± The assistant at the door did not stop her. The door was pushed open. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Ms. Duran¡­¡± The assistant apologized in embarrassment, but Alexa was calm. ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± She smiled and looked at Nina. ¡°Ms. Ramsey, why are you in such a hurry toe over? Do you want to have a chat with me?¡± Nina smiled coldly. ¡°Don¡¯t tter yourself. Who are you? What right do you have to talk to me?¡± ¡°I have half the right to deal with Hudson Group, so¡­¡± Alexa shrugged and did not finish her sentence. Nina¡¯s expression was sour. When she had quarreled with Hyman at the hotelst time, Alexa had also been there. Nina thought maybe Alexa was behind this and made the board of directors demote her with the excuse of affecting thepany¡¯s image. Chapter 487 Chapter 487 Chapter 487 Prepare a Fallback ¡°Alexa, you are so shrewd.¡± Nina smiled coldly and defiantly. But Alexa looked very calm. ¡°Why are you so hostile to me, Ms. Ramsey?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t pretend that you don¡¯t know the answer.¡± Nina rolled her eyes arrogantly in front of Alexa. ¡°You think you can hide your ambition?¡± Nina said bluntly. ¡°No matter how hard you try, the Ramsey family¡¯s things still can¡¯t be yours.¡± Alexa did not reply. Instead, she calmly looked behind Nina. ¡°Are you done with work so quickly?¡± she asked with a smile. ¡°Edwin said you¡¯vee to thepany,¡± Terrence replied. ¡°So I ended the meeting and came to you.¡± As soon as Nina heard Terrence¡¯s voice, her face paled. The three were in the same room, and one could cut the air with a knife. Terrence looked at Nina in an unfriendly way. ¡°What are you doing here?¡± he asked coldly. Nina immediately restrained herself. ¡°I came to ask what this decision means,¡± Nina said grumpily. ¡°Why did the board of directors suddenly demote me?¡± ¡°There are still a lot of assets under your name whose sources are unclear. You should feel grateful that it¡¯s only demotion.¡± Terrence¡¯s tone was t. But when he looked over, Nina panicked a little. ¡°So you are suspecting me?¡± ¡°The board of directors has alreadymissioned amissioner to investigate. The results will be out soon.¡± ¡°You think you can make me scared by telling me all this?¡± ¡°Not really. Just want you to know.¡± Terrence never gave a damn about her, which made Nina quite unhappy. She had lost this battle, so she walked away with a gloomy expression. But Terrence suddenly brought up another thing. ¡°You have been working with Jovan in France all these years, haven¡¯t you?¡± She did not even pause in her tracks. ¡°You should know how he hates the Ramsey family,¡± Terrence said coldly. ¡°Stop before it¡¯s toote.¡± Nina ignored him. She walked like she wanted to make holes in the floor with her high heels. After she left, the atmosphere in the office was instantly better. Terrence sat down next to Alexa. He looked like a different person now. ¡°Ms. Duran, what can I do for you?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Terrence had already put his hand on her waist and taken her into his arms. ¡°I just met Thalia. We passed by a bakery, so I bought some snacks for you.¡± It was not the first time she hade to thepany to see him, but Terrence was still very happy and kissed her. ¡°Thank you, darling.¡± He said very seriously and called her darling with immense affection. ¡°What¡¯s it with Nina?¡± ¡°Just like that.¡± Nina was no different than a stranger to Terrence, and he handled her thing in a strictly businesslike manner. ¡°It is a felony to use power for personal gain. Moreover, she and Hyman have done a lot of nasty things. It is time to make them pay for it.¡± And at this time, Nina had just arrived at the underground parking lot. Terrence was obviouslying at her, so it was impossible for her to do nothing. But just as she got in the car, she got a call from an unknown number. ¡°Hello, Mrs. Fillion. Your husband is drunk in our hotel. Could you pleasee and pick him up?¡± Nina was angry when she heard this. ¡°Is there no other woman with him?¡± The hotel manager was immediately put on the spot. ¡°No, don¡¯t worry.¡± Nina silently sneered. But she went in the end. The hotel manager and a group of people were waiting for her at the door of the presidential suite. After seeing Nina, he said servilely. ¡°Mrs. Fillion, Mr. Fillion is inside.¡± ¡°Open the door.¡± After Nina walked in, she found the room reeked of alcohol. She also smelled perfume. She mmed the door shut, and the man lying on the bed opened his eyes unhappily but didn¡¯t lose his temper. ¡°Why are you here? Did they call you?¡± ¡°Hyman, is there any joy for you in doing this?¡± Nina said coldly. ¡°If you want to disgust me by doing this, there is no need.¡± ¡°Why am I disgusting you?¡± Hyman asked. ¡°Don¡¯t you only care about money? You care about these things too?¡± Nina silently suppressed the anger in her chest and pretended to be calm. ¡°Take your ID card, and let¡¯s divorce today.¡± Her tone was very light as if she was just talking about an insignificant matter. ¡°If we divorce, you will have to give half of your money to me. Are you willing to give it away?¡± ¡°I have evidence of your cheating on me, so you will not get anything from me,¡± Nina dered coldly. ¡°I will also do my best to get my son¡¯s custody.¡± Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. ¡°Nina, you are so prepared.¡± Hyman sneered. ¡°But have you prepared a fallback?¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°Derick has already been caught. Do you know about this?¡± Nina didn¡¯t reply, but her constricted pupils had exposed her nervousness at the moment. Hyman looked at her reaction and suddenly felt the pleasure of revenge. ¡°Who told you that?¡± ¡°Keyon caught him himself,¡± Hyman said gloatingly. ¡°The news was releasedst night, but you were probably busy investigating the women around me, so you didn¡¯t notice it.¡± ¡°Hyman, don¡¯t be so smug.¡± Nina¡¯s lips twitched slightly. ¡°Didn¡¯t you also participate in what Jovan did?¡± ¡°At most, I am only guilty of economic crimes.¡± Hyman paused for a moment, then looked at her and said word by word. ¡°But your father and Jovan have killed a guy.¡± Nina¡¯s face was drained of color. ¡°You should know who murdered the previous head of the Ramsey family, right?¡± ¡°Hyman, are you nning to betray me?¡± Nina was obviously a little anxious. ¡°You think that Terrence will let you off like this?¡± Nina smiled viciously. ¡°He always seeks revenge for the smallest grievance, so don¡¯t think he will let you get away with it.¡± Nina was inplete panic. She was still in a stalemate with Hyman when the door suddenly opened. A group of police officers entered the room and surrounded them. ¡°Excuse us, are you Mr. Hyman Fillion and Ms. Nina Ramsey?¡± Nina pursed her lips and said with a cold face. ¡°I am.¡± The news of her and Hyman being taken away by the police from the hotel spread like wildfire. Because Nina was a senior executive in Hudson Group, the media quickly focused their attention on thepany. But Terrence soon showed the public he had nothing to do with Nina, so there was no public rtions crisis. However, Cory couldn¡¯t stay calm. He immediately gathered the elders of the Ramsey family to pressure Terrence. ¡°Terrence, you are disgracing the Ramsey family¡¯s name by doing this!¡± ¡°If one has done nothing bad, then there is nothing to be afraid of,¡± Terrence said unhurriedly. ¡°I believe in the results of the police investigation.¡± ¡°No matter what the final result is, my daughter¡¯s reputation is ruined.¡± Cory stood up angrily. ¡°I will take her back to France now.¡± ¡°You can¡¯t take her away as you wish now,¡± Alexa said. ¡°And you are not innocent, right?¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°We have investigated for so many years. Do you really think that those things were not found out at all?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense.¡± ¡°The evidence has been given to the police. After Derick gives his testimony, you will know whether I am talking nonsense or not.¡± Chapter 488 Chapter 488 Chapter 488 Ask My Wife As soon as Alexa said this, everyone present began to question Cory. He was ashamed, so he left. Rebekah made Alexa and Terrence stay for dinner. Alexa asked, ¡°Rebekah, where is Jason?¡± ¡°He went to the police station.¡± The atmosphere was a little depressing when they had dinner. Rebekah did not seem to be in high spirits. After dinner, Alexa went to the attic to find the things with Terrence. The lock on the door was rusty, and the key in Terrence¡¯s hand also looked very old. As soon as the door was opened, the smell of old dust greeted them. ¡°This used to be my grandfather¡¯s lumber room,¡± Terrence said. ¡°But since he had that ident, this ce has been locked up.¡± This was the forbidden area of the Ramsey family, and even Terrence had nevere here. He turned on the light, and only then did Alexa realize that the furnishings in the room were still in order. There was ayer of dust, but nothing had changed ces. ¡°I spent little time with my grandfather when I was young.¡± Terrence rummaged through the things while chatting with her. ¡°He was always very serious and rarely smiled. All the kids in the family were afraid of him.¡± Alexa nced at the desk and there was a photo on the table. It was an old man with a serious face holding an infant. ¡°This is¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s my grandfather and me.¡± Terrence smiled, his expression soft. ¡°That¡¯s our only photo.¡± He recalled and said, ¡°Later, I learned to do business, and it was also him who taught me all the ABCs.¡± ¡°He must love you very much.¡± Terrence smiled without saying a word. He took a few documents from the safe and went out with Alexa. They found that Jason had returned. ¡°I just went to the police station to meet Derick,¡± Jason said slowly. ¡°He has all the evidence of Jovan¡¯s crimes and has confessed everything. ¡°We¡¯ve also found out everything Nina did. ¡°For so many years, their family has been working with Jovan, and they have done many nasty things.¡± In fact, they knew this a long time ago. But they had not gotten any evidence. Moreover, there was pressure from the elders of the family, so they didn¡¯t act. But it was different now. For Terrence, this was a great opportunity to kick the bad ones out of the family. ¡°The procuratorate has already issued a warrant. This matter wille to an end very soon.¡± Jason¡¯s expression was very grim. As far as Alexa could remember, he had been a calm person. Surely, no one would feel good when an old wound was cut open. But after he said this thing, his gaze became gentle as he looked toward Alexa. ¡°Alexa, I¡¯m really sorry,¡± Jason said sincerely. ¡°Sorry for dragging you into all this.¡± ¡°We¡¯re family. Don¡¯t say such things.¡± A smile returned to Jason¡¯s face as he patted Terrence on the arm. ¡°Be good to your wife.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Terrence nodded and went downstairs with Alexa. Rebekah wasing up with a te of fruit. She was apparently going to Jason. ¡°You are leaving?¡± Terrence nodded. ¡°Dad is in the study.¡± ¡°Every time he is in a bad mood, he hides in the study,¡± Rebekah was used to it. ¡°I¡¯ll go and see him.¡± ¡°Okay,¡± Alexa replied. It was already veryte when she and Terrence arrived home. ¡°Thalia and Finley¡¯s wedding is a week away,¡± Alexa said. ¡°Mr. Crompton will have the surgery tomorrow,¡± Terrence said. They casually chatted for a while and found that Damarion had quietlye downstairs. ¡°Damarion?¡± Alexa said in surprise. She squatted down and took Damarion into her arms. ¡°Why haven¡¯t you slept yet?¡± Damarion looked a little unhappy. ¡°What¡¯s bothering you?¡± Terrence asked with concern. ¡°Is Cole going to another school?¡± Alexa nced at Terrence and then exined tactfully. Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org. ¡°Something happened to his family, so he might have to leave New York.¡± ¡°He said that he won¡¯t have parents anymore.¡± Alexa didn¡¯t know how to reply for a while. Damarion was very kind. Even though Cole had hurt him like that before, he still chose to forgive Cole. ¡°He doesn¡¯t have many friends in kindergarten,¡± Damarion murmured. ¡°But I saw him secretly cry that day¡­¡± ¡°Damarion, it¡¯s toote. We should go to sleep.¡± Terrence changed the topic. He lifted Damarion and carried him upstairs. ¡°Dad, can you sleep by my side tonight?¡± Damarion put his arms around Terrence¡¯s neck in anticipation. But he smiled and looked at Alexa. ¡°You have to ask my wife if she allows it.¡± Alexa winked at Damarion and nodded with a smile. Before going to bed, she went to see Verna. There was a professional nursing team looking after Verna, so Alexa did not need to worry too much. ¡°Mrs. Ramsey.¡± The nanny greeted her in a soft voice. ¡°Thank you for your hard work.¡± Alexa smiled gently at her. Thetter then said in a low voice. ¡°Verna is the sweetest child I have ever looked after. She is lovely and quiet.¡± When Alexa was pregnant with Verna, she did not suffer much. Terrence was there for her from beginning to end. She had been in a good mood during her pregnancy and had encountered little problems. She sat next to Verna¡¯s cradle for a while before going back. Terrence kept his promise and slept by Damarion¡¯s side tonight. But early the next morning, he quietly came back. Alexa was just about to get up when Terrence approached her and held her from behind. ¡°Sleep a little longer¡­¡± ¡°No.¡± Alexa rubbed against his chest. ¡°I have to get up. I have something to do.¡± ¡°Just give me two minutes.¡± Terrence stroked and kissed her neck until Alexa urged him several times before he reluctantly let go of her. ¡°Isn¡¯t it the weekend? Where are you going?¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to the hospital,¡± Alexa said. ¡°Today, Thalia¡¯s father will have the operation. I have to go and visit him.¡± Without hesitation, Terrence got up and went with her. Because it was a big operation, Finley and the other experts had a meeting in the early morning to discuss it. When Alexa and Terrence arrived, Thalia¡¯s father was already sent into the operating room. Thalia and Elena were waiting outside in the corridor. Both of them looked very nervous. ¡°Alexa.¡± ¡°Why do you look so tired? Did you not sleep wellst night?¡± ¡°I couldn¡¯t sleep.¡± Thalia sighed. ¡°I asked Finley to give me some pills. He said I was just too anxious.¡± Alexa patted her back to tell her not to worry. Elena began to babble again. At first, she hoped that the operation would be sessful, and then she began to question Finley¡¯s ability. ¡°Thalia, are you sure he is good¡­¡± Hearing this, Thalia was pissed off again. ¡°Mom, what¡¯s the point in saying such things at a time like this?¡± she asked unhappily. ¡°Why are you so dissatisfied with him? Why are you so hostile towards him?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not questioning his ability. I was only asking. There¡¯s no harm in it.¡± ¡°Thetest investment that the Crompton Group received is from Finley.¡± As soon as Thalia said it, the corridor immediately became quiet. Chapter 489 Chapter 489 Chapter 489 Forever and Ever (The End) Elena looked very embarrassed. ¡°What did you say?¡± ¡°Finley has apany under his name,¡± Thalia said lightly. ¡°But he is not interested in running a company. Some time ago, he transferred thepany to me.¡± In other words, Finley had a lot more money than the Crompton family. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me such a big thing earlier?¡± ¡°Because I can¡¯t stand you using Finley.¡± Thalia interrupted her. ¡°I chose him, so I know better than anyone how good he is.¡± Elena was embarrassed and did not dare to continue speaking. She even started to avoid Alexa¡¯s eyes. But Alexa didn¡¯t mind it. ¡°Jovan¡¯s case is in court today. Terrence and I will go first.¡± ¡°Okay. What did thewyer say?¡± Thalia asked. ¡°They¡¯ve prepared for a long time for this case, and Derick has provided sufficient evidence, so we¡¯re very likely to win the case.¡± Terrence had been preparing for so many years. This time, he must make Jovan get what he deserved. Jovan was very powerful in France, but he was not only involved in murders and also in economic crimes. Moreover, a lot of families were involved in these things. The media had received the news and had been waiting at the entrance of the court. When Alexa and Terrence arrived, they immediately caused a great stir. She smiled elegantly in front of those cameras, but she was holding Terrence¡¯s hand the entire time. ¡°Are you nervous?¡± Alexa asked in a low voice. ¡°Why is your hand so cold?¡± ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Terrence forced a smile and held her hand even tighter. ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid. I¡¯ll be there for you, just like how you were there for me.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Terrence spoke sincerely, and the smile in Alexa¡¯s eyes deepened a little. The trial was very long, especially when they judged the murder case of Terrence¡¯s grandpa. This hatred that had been there for more than twenty years had finallye to an end today. Jovan had been sentenced to life imprisonment, and his aplices were also punished for several crimes. However, Nina had gotten away scot-free. When Alexa heard the final decision, she was not surprised, as if she was expecting this. Terrence and Jovan looked at each other from a distance, their eyes cold. ¡°It¡¯s over. Let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Yes,¡± Terrence withdrew his gaze and came back to his senses. They declined the requests for interviews from the media. They called the elders of the family and prepared to leave quietly. But they saw Nina in the parking lot. It seemed that she had been waiting here for a long time. She probably hadn¡¯t rested well these past few days. She didn¡¯t put on any makeup and looked very haggard. However, in front of them, Nina maintained her arrogant appearance. ¡°Why did you let me off?¡± she asked coldly. ¡°Are you pitying me?¡± ¡°That¡¯s the court¡¯s own decision,¡± Terrence said indifferently. ¡°Besides, it¡¯s not like you don¡¯t get any punishment. You have to hand over all the illegal assets.¡± He didn¡¯t seem to want to talk to Nina. Alexa asked him to get the car first. ¡°I thought you would be eager to send me to prison.¡± ¡°Those things are done by your dad. There¡¯s no need to take it out on you.¡± Nina actually hated Alexa¡¯s tone. What was more, Alexa was younger than her, happier than her¡­ She couldn¡¯t help but feel that they were pitying her. ¡°What do you know?¡± Nina sneered. ¡°To be honest, I actually don¡¯t like you at all.¡± Alexa pursed her lips. ¡°But so what? All I care about is you get the punishment you deserve.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve heard that you guys are ridiculously vengeful.¡± ¡°Who told you that? You even believed such ridiculous nonsense?¡± Alexa smiled carelessly. ¡°I have a very happy family. We don¡¯t live to hate.¡± Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. ¡°Alexa, sometimes I really envy you.¡± Nina¡¯s eyes turned red. ¡°Why can you¡­¡± ¡°Many people hate me, and you are just one of them. But I am still doing fine.¡± They chatted for a while, and Terrence had driven the car over. ¡°Your son is still little, and you are living a quite wonderful life,¡± Alexa said. ¡°We live to love, not to hate.¡± Nina¡¯s face was pale, but her eyes were getting redder and redder. After Alexa got in the car, she felt she finally got it off her chest. ¡°I¡¯ve told her everything you want to say to her.¡± Terrence smiled and asked. ¡°How do you know what I want to say to her?¡± ¡°We are all parents. Of course I know.¡± After they were done with things here, Thalia contacted them. James¡¯ operation was very sessful, and Thalia finally breathed a sigh of relief. After that, Elena and James¡¯ attitudes toward Finleypletely changed. Whether it was out of sincerity or guilt, they finally agreed to the marriage between Finley and Thalia and also gave them arge sum of money for the wedding. Considering James needed some time to recover, Finley and Thalia decided to postpone the wedding for a month. In this one month, many things happened in New York. Terrence and Alexa shook up the Hudson Group, and thepany¡¯s business had been booming. Keyon visited the Niebergall family with Giselle and was finally epted by her family. Just like this, they all had their things to do. On the day of Thalia and Finley¡¯s wedding, they were all there. The wedding venue was by the seaside. Because the wedding was personally nned by Thalia, there was none of those cheesy things. In the romantic atmosphere, the guests all enjoyed themselves. Alexa was feeding Verna strawberries when she saw Sasha holding Damian¡¯s arm and walking over. They greeted each other, and Alexa noticed that Sasha seemed to have a baby bump. ¡°It seems that something good is about to happen to you.¡± Sasha touched her belly. She and Damian looked at each other and smiled. ¡°It¡¯s early. We n to announce it to the public after some time.¡± ¡°That¡¯s great.¡± Alexa nodded with a smile. ¡°I just saw Thalia,¡± Sasha said. ¡°She¡¯s so beautiful today. Dr. McMin takes really good care of her.¡± Just as Sasha said, Thalia had been smiling the whole day, and she was almost glued to Finley. Alexa sat downstage and watched them vow and express love to each other, and tears fell from her eyes as she smiled. She couldn¡¯t help but drink a few more sses today. Terrence sent the child to the nanny and then came back to her. The sky gradually darkened, but the band was in higher spirits and kept ying dance music. Alexa drank thest half ss of champagne and sat near him. She looked at him, her head in her hand. ¡°Are you asking me to dance?¡± Terrence bowed slightly and made an inviting gesture very gentlemanly.

But she kissed him on the lips very gently. ¡°If everything has to start all over again, would you still choose me?¡± Alexa smiled and looked into his eyes, waiting for his answer. ¡°I would.¡± Alexa heard him say. ¡°My love to you is not out of impulse. And it¡¯llst forever and ever.¡± ¡°This is also my answer. I love you.¡± The Novel will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
