Terrance and Alexia novel 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 placed her on his lap.

“Ah…”

Alexa exclaimed 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 happened last night.”

Terrence paused, and the smile in his eyes faded a little.

“Did he come here with you tonight? Well, I will settle the score now.”

“What are you talking about?” Alexa snapped. “I have no obligation to explain to you.”

Terrence chuckled and wanted to tease Alexa again.

“I slept with you last 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, in comparison, 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 this lady,” the man in the lead said coldly.

“May I ask if your name is on the guest list?”

“I…”

“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 explanation later. I have some work at hand now.”

Watching Alexa hurry away, Terrence curled his lips. Then, he exchanged one glance 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 relaxed a bit. A few moments later, a young man in a suit appeared on the stage not far away.

“Good evening, ladies 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 hour later, the best perfume of the Moss

Group will be displayed here. I am looking forward to your comments. Now, enjoy the ball!”

Then, the orchestra began to play 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?”
