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 place.
“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.
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. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
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.
The last 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 umbrella. 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 glass. 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 uncomfortable 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 flare 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 become 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, then come 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
blame her.
“Let’s go.” Terrence pinched the space between his eyebrows tiredly.
Terrence sent Alexa back to Duckdale Villa. After entering the villa, 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.
