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 flashed 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 Villa?”
“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 necklace 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 necklace like the last one.
The crowd gathered to see the necklace 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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtstyle at all.
How could he not know that?
Could it be that he bought it for Alexa in the first place?
“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 become his lawfully 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 flashed 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 umbrella appeared in her sight, and a hand grabbed her arm.
Alexa glanced at the hand that was grabbing her arm.
A tall man with broad shoulders was standing quietly in front of her. Under the black
umbrella, 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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBoth 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 flash of
irritation.
“Get in,” Terrence said.
“I don’t want to…” Alexa said in embarrassment.
“Are you planning 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 umbrella 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 blanket over and turned up
the heat.
Alexa took the blanket and placed 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 relax?”
Alexa sobbed, and tears filled her eyes.
“Don’t worry about me.”
