Chapter 233 No Obligation to Spoil Her
"Mrs. Ramsey, are you and Mr. Ramsey well? You have white hair."
Alexa did not want to lose her composure, but Mrs. and Mr. Ramsey had treated her like their own daughter for so many years. She really could not control her emotions.
"We are both very well." Jason smiled kindly and said, "Hurry up and take a seat. You should be hungry too."
Alexa nodded and looked around.
Rebekah knew what she was thinking and quickly explained.
"Alexa, if you don't want to see him, I will tell him not to come."
"Mrs. Ramsey, it's okay."
Alexa nodded gently and took a seat with Rebekah.
Not long after, some of the close relatives of the Ramsey family arrived, and the atmosphere began to become lively.
However, Terrence still did not appear.
Alexa calmly took a sip of hot tea. Alice Wood, who was sitting opposite her, glanced at her with disdain, her eyes fierce.
As a side branch of the Ramsey family, the Wood family held a lot of power, but it had never been valued by Jason.
However, the obscure Alexa could not only marry Terrence but also get shares in Hudson Group.
Just thinking about that, Alice was so angry that she wanted to strangle Alexa.
After a few minutes, a cold and tall man walked in from the door.
Alice's eyes instantly lit up as she looked at Terrence with great anticipation.
The atmosphere in the room inexplicably turned cold for a moment. Everyone's gaze fell on Terrence at the same time, except Alexa.
"Terrence, sit here," Alice politely invited.
But Terrence did not even look at her. Instead, he walked straight to Alexa.
Rebekah was still sitting next to her. Alexa did not show her rejection of Terrence.
"You are here," he said in a low voice.
"Yes." Alexa nodded lightly. "Rebekah invited me."
"Why are you calling her Mrs. Ramsey?" Terrence said without hesitation, "Call her mom."
In an instant, the room was completely silent.
Everyone tacitly looked away, pretending that they did not hear what Terrence had just said.
"Terrence!" Rebekah said in a warning tone, intending to ease Alexa's embarrassment.
Alexa smiled lightly and said calmly.
"There is no seat here. You can sit somewhere else."
Then the person sitting next to Alexa instantly got up and went away.
Terrence raised his eyebrows slightly. Under Alexa's stiff gaze, he calmly pulled the chair closer and sat down next to her.
"Since everyone is here, let's start the feast," Jason said as he raised his glass.
"You came alone? Where is my son?"
"Why are you asking about him?" Alexa frowned and whispered in a voice that only they could hear, "Don't play tricks on me."
Terrence was not annoyed but instead leaned closer to her with interest.
"You are very beautiful tonight."
The normal sentence became weird when Terrence said it.
The disgust in Alexa's eyes deepened as she coldly glanced at him.
"Shut up.
Terrence did shut up, but the next second, Alexa looked down at the table.
His slightly calloused hand was naturally holding her hand. Feeling the warmth, Alexa froze for a moment.
"Terrence..."
"I heard you have been very close to Mr. Powell recently?"
Hearing that, Wendy glared at Alice and shouted.
"Alice, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Rebekah's eyes turned cold, and her imposing aura frightened
