Chapter 132 It’s Strange to Hold Withered Flowers.
Being absent-minded for a while, Terrence held the knife more tightly.
With a clang, the fork cut into the plate, making a clanging 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 plate 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 explained calmly. “Besides, if the food is not finished, it
is disrespectful to the chef. Be careful that he blacklists you and never lets you come
again.”
“If he wants to blacklist me, just do it. Anyway, I won’t come to this kind of place for the second
time in my life.” Alexa joked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTerrence didn’t comment, but there was a slight emotional fluctuation in his eyes.
Has Alexa been completely 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 played with her fingers in boredom.
The waiter suddenly returned and offered her a large 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 explained in a deep voice. “It
makes me uncomfortable.”
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 becomes 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 but laugh.
When Alexa came to her senses, she noticed the gentle smile on Terrence’s face at a glance.
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 to come
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 doctor come 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 relax.”

“Huh? I didn’t say it.”
Just as Alexa finished speaking, Maeve called.
She hurriedly answered the call, but accidentally touched the speaker.
“Alexa, are you free recently? I have an appointment with Carissa. Let’s play around!”
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’t come, 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 particularly 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 play. It should be because she recently fell in love.” Alexa guessed in an
orderly manner.
“They are all in pairs. Do you plan to go alone?”
