We Will Collide Someday by Scarlett Sanchez novel 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?”

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.
