Chapter 421 Do You Love Me or Pity Me?
"Well, I think so."
Even if Finley was joking, he always had a serious look on his face. The more Thalia looked at him, the more she adored him.
Taking advantage of the last ten seconds of red light, she leaned towards Finley's eyes with a smile on her lips.
Finley got prepared to be kissed, and he even intended to respond to the kiss.
But before Thalia touched his eyes, she suddenly returned to her seat with a serious expression.
"What are you thinking about, Dr. McMillan? Concentrate on driving,” she whispered.
Finley came back to his senses and saw the green light.He cleared his throat and pretended as if nothing had happened. He forced himself to calm down and continued driving.
"Don't look at me."
"Why?" Thalia asked innocently. "Don't you want me to look at you? Then who do you want to look at you?"
"I didn’t mean that..."
"Dr. McMillan, your ears are so red. Is it hot in the car?” she asked despite the obvious answer.
"No..."
Finley gripped the steering wheel even tighter, obviously nervous, road condition.
Thalia stopped teasing him and began to chat with Alexa on the phone.
Alexa was sorting out the documents with Terrence in the study. When she learned that Thalia and Finley would get married, she was not surprised.
"They love each other. It is only a matter of time before they get married.”
Alexa happily told the news to Christina.
Christina immediately sent 5% of the Duran Group shares to Thalia.
"My mother really treats Thalia as her daughter-in-law."
"It's a good thing.” Terrence nodded in agreement. "Finley is a good man. Thalia will be happy with him."
"You have closely observed Finley, haven't you?" Alexa suddenly came to her senses. “When did you become so familiar?"
"Not exactly. I just pay attention to the people around you."
"Oh really?"
Alexa suddenly became interested.
“Then how do you like me in your heart?"
"I can't say it in simple words," Terrence said sincerely. "I have to answer it slowly."
"I find that you are better and better at manipulating me.”
Alexa stretched out a finger and poked his chest.
"You know that I like to listen to this kind of sweet talk. Have you ever studied it?"
"Study?" Terrence took the opportunity to hold her fingers. "Do I need to study how to love my wife?"
"Mr. Ramsey, I'm quite satisfied.”
Alexa looked at the pile of documents in front of Terrence.
"Are there so many things to deal with in the company?" Alexa asked in surprise. “I have never seen you deal with so many documents before."
"Well, these aren't the company’s documents."
Terrence brought another stack.
"It's information about the kindergartens.” He said slowly, “In another year, Damar will go to kindergarten."
"There's still plenty of time." Alexa was even more shocked. "There are many good kindergartens in New York. Can't we just choose one when the time comes?"
"We have to prepare early," Terrence said expectantly, "What's more, this will be the first time Damar has his own social circle. I am looking forward to his growth."
Alexa nodded thoughtfully. She stroked her belly and muttered.
"What if we have a little daughter in the future?"
Her joke caused Terrence's expression to become even more serious.
"I have drawn a complete investment plan. The Hudson Group will allocate special funds for the kindergarten construction."
Alexa gasped, "Actually... There's no need to do so."
"There is."
Terrence said confidently and then continued to study the information about the kindergartens.
Alexa was looking at the material of the lawsuit sent by Sasha.
She thought that Terrence would ask carefully, but he didn't say anything at all, not worried that she would be badly affected.
“Aren't you curious about what Sasha told me?"
"Are you going to tell me?"
Terrence looked at her with a faint smile, his eyes full of hidden meaning.
"You already know it even if I don't tell you, right?"
"I only know a little about it. I want to ensure your safety."
"But this matter with Sasha might be a little tricky. If I don't handle it well, you will also be affected.”
"Don't worry." Terrence wasn't flustered at all. "You only need to do what you want to do. I'll help you whenever you need.” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Alexa shared a knowing smile with him. She knew that Terrence would say this.
"My goal is Zeke." She promised, "I'll just teach him a lesson. I won't go too far."
"Okay."
Terrence nodded and poured a cup of coffee for her.
Sasha entrusted Alexa to help her find a lawyer.
When she received Alexa's news, Sasha was helped into the room by Zeke.
Zeke secretly looked at Sasha's phone, but Sasha carefully put the phone on the table with the screen down.
Zeke immediately retracted his gaze and held her tightly from behind.
"Sasha..."
“Don't be naughty.” Sasha was as cold and proud as a queen. "I'm not in the mood tonight. My waist hurts."
"Why did you deliberately make that old woman angry? She hit you so hard. My heart aches.” Zeke looked innocent.
Zeke obediently helped Sasha take off her coat.
Sasha leaned lazily on the bed and watched Zeke kneel on one knee by the bed to do a massage on her legs.
"If I am not ruthless to myself, how can I defeat Jeremy?"
"If I could protect you, I couldn't let you suffer so much."
“Be good..."
Sasha rubbed his chin with her fingertips as if she was teasing a kitten.
However, Zeke did not show any signs of resistance. He even obediently rubbed his head against her palm.
Sasha lightly curled her lips, her eyes filled with a strong desire to control.
"Zeke, are you happy to be by my side all these years?"
"Iam. I like you the most.” Zeke smiled innocently.
"Your mother still doesn't know about our relationship, right?"
Zeke twirled the ring on his hand and asked casually.
"Do you plan to let her know?
"If you want to, I can tell her at any time.”
"She will hate me to death, for I abducted her son,” Sasha said with a nonchalant smile.
"I chose to be with you."
"I can't promise you anything. Maybe I can't even protect myself. Aren't you afraid?"
They kept quiet for several seconds. Zeke leaned over and kissed her lips.
"With you here, what am I afraid of?"
Sasha smiled sincerely this time.
Regardless of whether Zeke was sincere or not, she was still very moved.
"No one has ever said such words to me.”
Sasha held his face in her hands, her look becoming very gentle.
"Zeke, do you love me?" she murmured, "Do you love me ... or pity me?"
"Sasha, of course I love you."
Zeke carefully kissed her and moved Sasha's heart bit by bit.
"Then swear to me that you will never leave me, okay?"
"Yes, I swear...”
Sasha left a red lipstick mark on his Adam's apple.
She suddenly said, "Then let's pick a time to get the marriage certificate."
The tenderness in Zeke's eyes immediately faded away. He even showed a faint coldness.
