Terrance and Alexia

Chapter 281

Chapter 281 You Can Hold My Hand

Alexa’s eyes flashed. Just as she was about to put her hand on

Kieran’s, a figure suddenly got between them.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Powell.” Very unusually, Terrence was smiling. “My wife doesn’t need to dance with other

men.”

Kieran calmly met Terrence’s gaze and clearly saw the derision in his eyes.

They were in a standoff for a while, which kept attracting other people’s attention.

“It’s really a small world.”

A cheerful voice sounded. Surprised, Alexa saw Conley walking towards them. In a split second, the

atmosphere became even stranger.

“Why are you here?”

“I have nothing to do anyway, so I came to you.”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of Kieran and Terrence sank at the same time. Seeing the

two in a standoff, Conley teased.

“What’s going on? Are you having a tiny party?”

As soon as Conley finished speaking, the two had even colder expressions.

A party? They were almost into a fight.

Alexa was speechless. She glanced at the three men with mixed emotions in her eyes.

“I won’t dance, okay?”

“No, you will dance.”

Terrence replied hurriedly and looked at her firmly.

“It’s not easy to have a chance to dance with my wife. How can I let others get between us?”

“Mr. Ramsey seems to have forgotten that Alexa is my girlfriend and also my date tonight.”

“Oh? Is that so?” Terrence’s eyes darkened as he sneered, “It’s all pretending. Not real.”

Kieran secretly gritted his teeth. There was no obvious change in his expression, but Alexa could tell

that Kieran was on the verge of exploding.

“It seems that you two gentlemen need some time to talk things through. Alexa, come with me.” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“No!”

Terrence and Kieran shouted at the same time. Then the two glanced at each other, and the air was full

of tension.

Alexa felt that she was with three gunpowder barrels that would explode at any time. In the blink of an

eye, the music was over, but the three were still arguing.

Alexa was tired of listening to it, and she took a glass of red wine from the waiter.

However, she had only taken half a sip when Terrence snatched the glass away.

“Drink less, or you will feel unwell again.”

He gently told Alexa. Then, as if to show off, he drank the rest of the wine in the glass in front of the

other two men.

“Alexa, I brought you some commonly used medicine. If you feel unwell, you can tell me at any time.”

“Mr. Powell is so thoughtful.”

Terrence said sarcastically, and Alexa glared at him.

“She got me. You don’t need to worry about her.”

The tension between Terrence and Kieran continued. Conley stood nearby and enjoyed the drama, the

smile on his face widening.

So interesting.

They stood there for quite a while, and then Caspian walked towards them.

“Guys, please follow me.”

He didn’t say where he was taking them, but Alexa followed him without hesitation.

When the other three saw this, they immediately followed closely behind her.

Not long after, they walked past the luxurious clubhouse and arrived at the quiet and private back

garden.

Alexa looked at the colorful flowers and suddenly smelled a special fragrance.

“It smells so good,” Alexa said.

Caspian, who was walking in front of her, silently smiled. Then he neatly picked a white flower and

handed it to Alexa.

Alexa reached out to accept it without thinking, but Terrence stopped her in time. His deep and calm

gaze fell on Caspian.

“What kind of flower is this?”

“Moon’s Shadow,” Caspian said briefly.

“Moon’s Shadow, what a beautiful name,” Alexa continued to praise.

“Unfortunately, beautiful flowers are usually with thorns,” Kieran said gently. “Alexa, watch where you

are going.”

“Mr. Powell indeed knows a lot about that sort of thing,” Conley said sarcastically.

Kieran just fell silent and did not respond to him.

The already strange atmosphere now became even stranger.

After they finally quieted down, Terrence suddenly spoke.

“If you are afraid, you can hold my hand.”

“I am not afraid.”

Being flatly rejected by Alexa, Terrence could only pretend he wasn’t hurt and forced a smile.

A moment later, Caspian led them to an old house.

“This is the Moss family’s heirloom, a place for us to make perfume. It is very quiet. We won’t be

disturbed.”

Caspian smiled with satisfaction and made a “please” gesture.

The door slowly opened, and the lights in the dim corridor started to come on.

Although this place had been deserted for a long time, there was still a faint fragrance.

“Mr. Moss, I came to you today mainly to learn about that thing…”

“Shh.”

Caspian raised his index finger and softly shushed Alexa.

“It’s not the right time yet.”

Ugh. What a weirdo.

Conley thought to himself. Then all the lights in the corridor suddenly went out.

Alexa was shocked and subconsciously moved closer to Terrence.

A warm and powerful hand grabbed hers firmly. That familiar feeling calmed Alexa a lot.

“What is going on…” she asked in a low voice. In the dark, someone was walking away from them.

Kieran suddenly frowned. He stretched out his hand to grope for

Caspian, but there was no one there.

“Are these machinery noises?” Conley said in a low voice. The gear sounds were instantly replaced by

much louder noises. The entire castle actually began to reassemble like a pile of blocks.

“Terrence, protect Alexa!” Conley exclaimed.

“I don’t need you to tell me that.”

As if to legitimate Conley’s worries, the mechanisms in the corridor were triggered one after another

and split them

instantly. In the dark, Terrence’s strong hand pulled Alexa into his arms.

Even though she did not say a word, Terrence could feel her horror.

“Don’t be afraid.” Terrence’s voice was as calm as just now. “You got me. Nothing will happen to you.”

As he spoke, his chest was trembling slightly.

Alexa felt Terrence’s heartbeat clearly, and it actually calmed her down.

“Well, I’m not afraid…”

Alexa was too nervous and did not even notice that the fragrance in the air was getting stronger.

The strength in her body was gradually drained. And she suddenly blacked out and collapsed into

Terrence’s arms.

When she woke up, Alexa found herself lying on a vintage and luxurious bed.

Though she felt unwell, she sat bolt upright worriedly.

“Terrence!”

“Here…”

The man sitting on the sofa responded lazily with a smile in his eyes.

“Do you miss me?”

Alexa pushed her messy hair back, and most of the worry on her face disappeared.

“No.”

“No? Then… You are worried about me?”
