Chapter 389 I See You as My Lover
Thalia’s parents became shocked instantly. As for Raymond and Melody, they were lost for words all at once.
“Great,” Melody sneered harshly. “Thalia, you’ve surprised me a lot! It turns out that you have long messed around with guys outside!”
Thalia became sulky immediately.
“Don’t make me show no respect for you!”
Thalia shocked everyone present since she suddenly lost her temper like this.
Among them, Melody was stunned the most.
“It’s okay if it’s me that you humiliate. But him as well? Can you show some respect?”
Finley did not expect that Thalia would be so angry.
Therefore, he held Thalia’s hand silently, signaling to her to stay calm.
“Your son is a criminal.”
Thalia sneered and retorted, each word sounding like a knife that had stabbed into Melody’s heart.
“Did you hear me clearly? If not, I’ll say it again!” Thalia enunciated each word solemnly,
“Your son, Rayan Biddell, is a damned criminal. Do you understand?”
“You… You…”
Melody trembled in anger as she pointed at Thalia while trying to retort a bit, which turned out to be a vain attempt. At last, she fainted from anger.
The reception room was reduced to a mess.
Finley wanted to go up and check on Melody, but Raymond pushed him away sulkily.
Noticing that, Thalia held Finley’s hand and took him away without any explanation.
Alexa had people send Melody to the hospital and left the room as well.
But to Alexa’s surprise, Terrence showed up at that moment.
Seeing that Thalia and Finley walked out hand in hand, Terrence was perplexed, with a touch of astonishment flashing across his eyes.
Alexa nodded to him a bit. Right now, Alexa was a bit vexed as well.
“Let’s go,” Terrence held Alexa’s hand and said.
All Terrence cared about was Alexa.
Meanwhile, Thalia felt exhilarated right now.
She followed Finley wherever he went.
Then Finley said helplessly, “Are you going to sit in the driver’s seat with me as well?”
“Um… Ah! No, no…”
“Now seat yourself.”
Thalia did as he said before looking at him expectantly.
“Dr. McMillan, can you repeat what you said just now?” Thalia said pitifully.
“I didn’t hear you clearly then.”
“No, I can’t.” Finley was insistent.
“Ah! What a pity!”
There was a hint of regret in Thalia’s tone.
“I think I’ve missed your confession of love! May I ask what … is our relationship then?”
Hearing this, Finley stopped the car right away.
Thalia, shocked, thought that she had pissed him off.
Just as she was about to apologize, Finley raised his hand to prop himself against the back of the chair while leaning over in a bossy manner.
“What do you think? What kind of relationship do you think we should have?”
“I… I… I…”
Thalia blushed and felt at a loss for words for the first time.
“I feel like I’m in a dream.”
Finley tapped her forehead slightly with his finger. There was a reproachful look on his face.
“I’ll give you time to get to know me. And if you think I am not the one you want or you’ve been tired of me, tell me at any time.”
“You haven’t answered my question yet. What is our relationship now?”
Thalia was patient, trying to make Finley call her “girlfriend”.
“Before Finley’s parents passed away, they asked me to take care of Finley. Due to that, I treat Finley as my son rather than a student.”
Alexa stirred the sugar in the cup and listened silently.
No wonder Finley was reserved like that, who was cold to everyone except for his patients.
“As long as you have the wish to get married, I will make sure he doesn’t let you down.” Christina nodded kindly. “After all, a girl can only be young for a few years!”
“Christina…”
“Dr. McMillan is sincere to you,” Alexa said with a smile. “This is the first time I’ve seen him behave like that.”
“Finley is a member of the Duran family. Therefore, your wedding will be handled by the Duran family as well.” Christina tried to reassure Thalia in subtle ways. “Don’t worry. We won’t let you suffer any grievances. As for those who gossip, they will soon find out the consequences of it.” Actually, Christina looked down on Thalia’s parents, but she managed to make them look good when mentioning them.
“Thank you, Christina. Thank you, Alexa.”
Thalia was so moved that her eyes turned red. In the end, she couldn’t help but burst into tears.
After Thalia left, Alexa felt relieved.
At that moment, Christina’s voice slowly sounded.
“Alexa, what do Terrence and you plan to do next?”
“Ah? We…”
“I’ve heard that you want to have a daughter, right?”
“Mom.”
Alexa held Christina’s arm like a spoiled child, feeling quite embarrassed.
“I didn’t mean to actually have a…” Alexa felt her cheeks burning. “Moreover, he doesn’t want me to burden me with another baby.”
Christina took the hint and stopped talking. Then she smiled and patted the back of Alexa’s hand a bit.
As soon as they walked out of the café, Christina’s assistant rushed over and whispered something to her.
Christina’s expression changed all at once.
Then she said solemnly, “Alexa, I need to go back now.”
“What happened?”
“He’s awake.”
