We Will Collide Someday

Chapter 456

Chapter 456 My Turn to Take You Home

“There is an important foreign businessman.”

Terrence quickly changed the topic.

Terrence said, “Is there anything you want to buy? I will bring it back for you.”

Alexa was a little unhappy with Terrence’s method of not telling her.

Alexa knew that Terrence did not want her to worry.

However, this behavior of deliberately hiding it from her would instead make Alexa very uneasy.

Sometimes, Alexa even felt that Terrence had protected her too well and was even unwilling to let her go through a little hardship.

This kind of feeling would sometimes make Alexa feel useless.

“When are you coming back? I’ll pick you up.”

“It’s hard to say. It might take about a week. When I’m not there, you have to take good care of yourself.”

After Terrence sent this message, there was no other movement.

Alexa felt empty in her heart.

“You also have to take good care of yourself.”

After this message was sent, there was no news of Terrence for two consecutive days.

At this time, Terrence released the document in his hand and rubbed the space between his eyebrows with a gloomy face.

Terrence wanted to get the medicine bottle on the table.

Edwin said with a worried face, “Mr. Ramsey, you should go and rest. It’s been two days and two nights.”

“It’s fine.”

Terrence responded absent-mindedly, poured two painkillers, and swallowed them.

“How is the investigation of the branch company going?”

Edwin respectfully presented a document.

“The few new technological projects that have been closed off are all related to Jovan,”

Edwin calmly reported.

“Due to the huge amount of investment, the board of directors has conducted an investigation, but the explanation that Nina gave is that the investment failed.”

“They are laundering money.”

Terrence said with certainty, and the gloom in his eyes only increased.

“Mr. Ramsey, what should we do next?”

“Collect the evidence and speed up the work. Go back to New York early.”

Terrence had no extra emotions on his face.

But Edwin had followed Terrence for so many years, so of course, Edwin could see through Terrence’s inner thoughts.

Terrence was clearly worrying about someone.

Alexa had been busy these days, and it seemed that this was the only way to not think about Terrence.

Alexa knew that Terrence’s silence must be related to Hudson Group.

But Terrence refused to tell Alexa the inside story. Alexa was still a little uncomfortable.

After the meeting, Alexa met Christina in the office.

“Mom, why are you here?”

Christina nodded at the lunchbox on the table.

“Of course, I’m here to care about my daughter.”

After she said this, Christina’s expression became serious.

“Yareli told me that you have been at the company for the past few nights.”

“I’ve been a little busy with work recently. I’ll be fine after being busy for a while,” Alexa smiled.

The two children were taken care of by Rebekah and Jason, so Alexa had nothing to worry about.

“It’s a good thing to have your own career, but there’s no need to risk your body.”

“I know, Mom. I know what I’m doing.”

Alexa ate the food with a heavy heart, and it was like chewing wax.

“I heard that Terrence went on a business trip recently?”

“Yes,” Alexa nodded and said. “Terrence didn’t say when he would be back.”

Christina could hear the emotions hidden in Alexa’s words.

“Terrence must have been under a lot of pressure recently.” Christina suddenly remembered something. She said, “A friend from the psychology department asked me about his recent situation. Terrence has not gone to the doctor for a follow-up for a long time.”

“A follow-up? What medicine did he take?” Alexa detected that something was wrong.

“You don’t know?”

Christina was very surprised.

Christina said, “It is a medicine that suppresses anxiety. Although it is not a particularly serious mental illness, it is very painful when it flares up.”

“I’ve never heard Terrence talk about it.”

Alexa was completely out of appetite now.

Alexa immediately put down the plate and fork, changed her clothes, and hurried out.

“Alexa?”

“I’ll go find Terrence.”

Alexa didn’t know how she was feeling right now.

There was irritation and shock, but more of it was sorry.

There were many things Terrence had hidden from Alexa.

Alexa easily found the hotel Terrence was staying at and immediately took a plane over.

When Terrence finished the dinner and went back, he found a figure wrapped tightly by the door.

Terrence immediately recognized that it was Alexa. There was a flash of shock in his eyes, but soon it was filled with joy.

“Alexa?”

Terrence quickly walked over, but before he could be happy, Alexa coldly stuffed a bouquet of roses over.

“Open the door.”

Alexa’s unhappiness was shown on her face.

Terrence silently opened the door.

Alexa followed Terrence into the room and locked the door behind him.

Edwin stood far away and cast a sympathetic look at the door.

Mrs. Ramsey seems to be very angry…

At this time, after Alexa entered the room, she sat down on the sofa directly, looking like she was interrogating Terrence.

Terrence stood in front of Alexa with the flowers in his hands and calmly looked at Alexa’s expression.

“Sit down.” Alexa forced a smile.

This time, Terrence was sure that Alexa was angry.

“No, I’ll just stand. It’s so late. Why are you here?” Terrence asked.

“Are you not happy to see me?”

Alexa had just made a sound when she broke her disguise.

Tears welled up in Alexa’s eyes as she looked at Terrence with a complicated expression.

“I’m happy. Of course. I’m happy.”

Terrence wanted to go up and hold her hand, but Alexa avoided him.

Alexa silently took out a bottle from her bag and placed it on the table.

“I went to see Joseph in the psychology department. He asked me to give you the medicine.”

“Alexa…”

Alexa said, “It was such a serious matter. Why didn’t you tell me?”

“It’s not serious.” Terrence smiled easily. He said, “I haven’t had the medicine for a long time.”

“I asked Edwin. He said that you have been taking painkillers for the past few days.”

Alexa did not know what to say to scold Terrence.

“I said that if there is any problem, we can shoulder it together.” Alexa calmly said, “Don’t hide from me, and you don’t need to hide it from me.”

“The matter here has ended.” Terrence sat down beside her. He said, “I was planning to go back to see you tomorrow.”

“Then were you going to tell me about the medicine tomorrow?”

Alexa stared straight at Terrence, and Terrence did not dare to lie in front of her.

After a moment of silence, Alexa already understood what Terrence meant.

“I knew it.”

Alexa stubbornly wiped away her tears.

“Terrence, I hate you.” Alexa complained coldly, “I was worried about you for so long, but you didn’t even give me any message.”

“I also hate him.”

Terrence kept staring at Alexa, his tone full of self-blame.

“He clearly promised to make his wife happy, but now, he made his wife angry.”

Alexa refused to look at Terrence. Obviously, Alexa was not so easy to coax.

“Alexa, I’m sorry.”

Alexa said, “Then you have to take the medicine.”

“With you here, I don’t have to take medicine.”

“No…”

Before Alexa finished, Terrence held her tightly.

“Alexa, thank you.”

Alexa asked, “Then are you happy to receive the flowers?”

Terrence said in a relaxed way, “Of course, I am happy. But you’re angry. I don’t dare to laugh.” Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
