Terrance and Alexia

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 had come 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 explain 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 nonchalant.

“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 a laugh, 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?” This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

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 flashed. “That is all because you are Mrs. Ramsey!”

Alexa thought, Terrence, how kind of you!

Then as Alexa laughed, 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 while later. Then she picked up the

broken glass 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 incomparably sharp gaze.

Aron was so frightened that he almost lost his balance.

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, coming 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, come 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 flattering smile, saying, “Dear Alexa, Terrence is drunk. Can you come here now?

We’re in the same place.”

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.

“What did she say?”

“She said none of her business.”

Aron knew that he was gonna be alarmed 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.
