We Will Collide Someday

Chapter 244

Chapter 244 Go to the Hotel

Alexa pursed her lips, embarrassed. She pushed Terrence away and hurried into the elevator.

They were the only ones in the cramped elevator. Terrence followed closely behind her. Alexa pretended to look at the display screen as if nothing had happened.

“Alexa, are you free tonight?”

Terrence was careful, like a kid asking for praise from his parents.

“I still have work to do.”

“You can do it tomorrow. You should have some rest now.”

Alexa pushed away strands of hair on her temples and knew that her makeup was smudged without looking at the mirror.

This made Alexa even more insecure and unconfident to confront Terrence.

She said dully, “I know. Do not lecture me.”

Terrence got a bit anxious. “I care about you, Alexa. Look at you now. How can I leave you alone?”

Alexa looked down to examine herself, only to find that her neckline was very low.

As she had an allergy, red marks were visible on her neck.

“It is not what you think.”

Alexa blushed, her voice trembling.

“What did I think?”

Terrence got closer and put his arm around her shoulder. Alexa felt that the air got much hotter.

Caught off guard, Alexa stayed in his arms.

Terrence’s profound gaze went all the way down and settled on her red marks.

He knew they were not hickeys, but inexplicably, Terrence felt jealous.

Terrence elongated the word a bit. “Tell me.”

Alexa was just about to speak when her phone buzzed and a notification popped up.

She heaved a sigh of relief and hurried out of the door.

“Alexa, go to my place tonight.”

“No way. I have a son and a boyfriend. Who gives you the right to take me home?” Alexa refused.

“Well, if you don’t want to go to my home, let’s go to the hotel.”

Alexa was so pissed off that she stopped.

“You are such a jerk!”

“You are so beautiful when you are swearing. I like it.” Terrence took Alexa’s hand and kissed the back of it.

Alexa’s face fell, but Terrence became even bolder.

“Your beloved boyfriend is not here. You can only go with me.”

“I have my car.”

“I insist on driving you home.”

With that, Terrence picked up Alexa and put her down on the passenger seat.

“We used to be a couple. Don’t you want to talk about those old times?”

“I don’t want to talk. I don’t like you,” Alexa said stubbornly.

“It does not matter. I like you.” Terrence did not flinch.

Alexa still found the latter part of the sentence confusing. She even suspected that she had misheard.

Terrence said he liked her?

Terrence liked her?

“Is that so? I am so down on my luck,” Alexa said coolly.

Terrence chuckled and then remained silent.He brought Alexa back to the villa in the city center.

“Take a shower.”

Terrence found a sleeping robe, threw it to her, leaned against the door frame lazily, and sized Alexa up.

“The high heels don’t chafe this time, do they? Who made this dress? It doesn’t look good on you,” Terrence said casually.

Alexa’s dress was custom-made by a renowned designer. Terrence looked down on it just out of pure jealousy.

He did not want other men to know how beautiful she was or to chase her.

Plus, Terrence was sure that Alexa chose the dress for Kieran.

“I like it. It is none of your business.”

Alexa was grumpy, went around him, and got into the bathroom.

Terrence chuckled and decided to make some soup for her.

When Alexa was done, Terrence brought in hot soup for her.

“Drink it while it’s hot. I’ll dry your hair,” Terrence said.

“No, I can do it myself.”

Alexa avoided Terrence’s touch, but he scooped up some soup and put it in her mouth.

“I know you have trouble sleeping and your hands are often icy. So I visited a senior doctor, who told me to make these medicinal dishes for you.”

Instead of refusing, Alexa took a sip.

Although it was a medicinal dish, the soup tasted good. She liked it very much.

“Does it taste good?”

Alexa nodded.

Terrence spoon-fed her. After eating half a bowl, Alexa was too full to take any.

But she did not want to waste it.

“I will drink the rest tomorrow morning.”

Terrence drank the rest of the soup, without saying anything. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“I will make you fresh soup tomorrow.”

There was a trace of disbelief in Alexa’s eyes, but nothing came out of her mouth.

After her hair was dry, she went to sleep. Terrence got in her bed very soon.

“What are you doing?” Alexa said nervously.

He wrapped around Alexa’s slender waist with his strong arm and buried his head into her neck.

The body wash was customized by a senior perfumer. Having used the body wash, Alexa now carried a faint orchid scent.

“I can’t fall asleep. I need to hug you.”

“Stupid excuses. I can’t sleep if you are here?” Alexa pushed him with her elbow.

“I haven’t slept for a few nights.”

Alexa sensed a hint of deep exhaustion in his hoarse voice.

“Many women want to sleep with you. Unfortunately, I am not one of them.”

Terrence let out a laugh.

“Are you jealous?”

“I’m not. I was just stating a fact,” Alexa denied.

“I haven’t had any women. You are the only one.” Terrence promised seriously.

“Come off it. You are never short of women. Models or celebrities.You pick whoever you want.”

Alexa had a straight face, but Terrence felt much better.

“You still won’t admit it?” He became bolder.

Alexa pursed her lips.

“Admit what?”

“You’re jealous.”

“I’m not jealous. Why should I?” Alexa emphasized that last part.

“You should ask yourself. You don’t like me, do you? Why are you paying so much attention to me?” Terrence said with great interest.

She said with an undertone, “Forget it. I don’t have time for you.”

“Are you mad? Then I won’t say anything. Is that okay?” Terrence asked.
