Chapter 90 Who Does She Want to Impress?
Alexa found Terrence in a state of great agitation for the first time, so a trace of surprise flashed past her pale face.
Alexa collected herself quickly.
“What kind of emotion do you want?” Alexa asked seriously.
Never had Terrence felt so helpless.
In his eyes, Alexa was trying her best to please her buyer.
Terrence instantly cooled off and felt frustrated.
“Nothing. Time for lunch,” Terrence said coldly.
As Alexa wished, Terrence had prepared a feast with crabs. Those amazing dishes were made by
first-class chefs.
However, Terrence suddenly had most of the dishes taken away from the table and told the servants
to bring over a pot.
Alexa was mad at Terrence but wouldn’t punish herself with food.
She looked at the soup boiling in the pot with excitement and sent one slice of beef in it.
With the warm food in her stomach, Alexa instantly cheered up and found Terrence not as disgusting as before.
Noticing that Alexa loved meat, Terrence told the servants to bring more meat over.
Suddenly, Alexa stopped eating because she noticed that Terrence ate nothing.
“What’s wrong?” Terrence asked. “Is the food not good?”
“No.” Alexa shook her head. “Do you have no appetite?”
Weirdly, why do you stare at me all the way… Alexa wondered.
“Delicious?” Terrence asked.
“Yes.”
Then, Terrence got up, took away the plate with sauce from Alexa, and ate one slice of beef casually.
“Well, not bad.”
Alexa was taken by surprise.
“Do you want some new sauce?” Alexa asked in a low voice.
“Sure.”
Terrence agreed without hesitation but didn’t give the sauce back to Alexa.
Alexa had an upset stomach, so she didn’t eat much.
Terrence gave Alexa one crab and then silently ate up all the remaining food on her plate.
“What do you want to do in the afternoon?” Terrence asked.
“I want to sleep,” Alexa said without thinking.
“Alright.” Terrence nodded. “I’ll take you to your room.”
As long as Alexa was happy, Terrence didn’t mind that she didn’t follow his steps.
Alexa’s room was Terrence’s only design work.
Terrence conceived the design based on what Alexa liked, and the decoration was of a warm tone.
There was the piano Alexa had played in the Duran’s place.
“Oh my…”
Alexa exclaimed with her hands on her cheeks because she found what she saw incredible.
“May I play this?” Alexa looked at Terrence. “May I?”
“Of course.” Terrence nodded.
Alexa instantly sat down, held her breath, and put her fingertips on the keys of the piano.
The piano tickled gently in the background. Alexa stopped playing soon. She didn’t play well
because of a lack of practice.
Alexa landed her palms on the keys in frustration, and a reverberation appeared.
“Forget it.”
Alexa lowered her head to cool down.
“L…”
Alexa instantly shut up, constricted her eyes, and froze.
Alexa sounded sincere as if she was talking to a good friend.
“You may go to sleep.” Terrence got up and walked to the door. “I have something to do.”
“Alright.”
Terrence didn’t leave the room till Alexa tucked herself in.
Terrence was determined to give himself two days off, so he didn’t go to work.
It was sunny. Terrence got changed and then went to the lake with his fishing gear.
Alexa saw Terrence sitting by the lake motionlessly like a fisherman when she arrived.
“Terrence!”
Hearing the shout, Terrence was softened.
He raised his index finger to his thin lips.
Then, Terrence said in an indifferent tone, “Quiet. You will scare the fish away.”
Alexa trotted to Terrence and panted slightly.
Alexa wore a white dress and a laced shawl with pearls on it, and her hair was gracefully and
meticulously coiled up with a hairpin.
It was rare for Terrence to see Alexa in such exquisite attire. His eyes lit up.
“Why did you dress up like this?” Terrence fixed his gaze on Alexa like a strict father. “Don’t you feel cold? What if you catch a cold?”
“I am fine.”
With starry eyes, Alexa turned around before Terrence. She was satisfied with her attire.
“Do I look good?” Alexa murmured.
Terrence stared at Alexa and did not answer.
Then, Alexa asked Terrence to do her a favor.
“Do you have time? Could you please take a picture of me?”
Terrence thought without displeasure, she is anxious to show off her beautiful attire.
Who does she want to impress with the photos?
