Chapter 393 Just a Friend
Alexa smiled and asked Giselle for her opinion patiently.
However, Giselle had always been submissive and seemed to be very nervous.
Alexa felt that Giselle shouldn’t be pretending.
At least after Giselle had just recovered from her serious illness, she was a completely different person from before.
Giselle was very happy to discuss the wedding. She even proposed to invite her parents to New York, and both parents would meet each other.
Alexa readily agreed.
In short, as long as Keyon agreed, she had no objections.
After ending the call, Terrence took the opportunity to hold Alexa in his arms.
“Didn’t you have a bad time with Giselle in the past?”
“It was quite unpleasant.”
When Alexa thought of what Giselle had done in the past, she always felt uneasy.
“My brother found her a psychologist. The doctor diagnosed that Giselle has a very serious two-way emotional disorder. Now it should be controlled.”
Alexa was not interested in these things. After all, she would not meet Giselle often in the future.
Giselle had the Niebergall family behind her, so it was hard to guarantee that they would not hide something.
“You don’t need to care too much,” Terrence casually said.
Terrence really had not paid attention to Giselle.
Although Terrence was busy dealing with things of the company all day long, there was only Alexa at the bottom of his heart.
“I know.” Alexa leaned in his arms. “But on the surface, you must always be kind to her.”
No matter what Alexa’s attitude was, Terrence was very supportive.
Alexa fiddled with his tie and suddenly remembered something.
“You spend so much time with me every day. Don’t you have to go socialize?”
Although Alexa liked being with him, she didn’t want to be the kind of woman that those people talked about delaying his career.
“Isn’t it good to accompany you?”
“Don’t you need to socialize?”
Now that Hudson Group was in the middle of its promotion period, many big shots in the industry wanted to get close to them as Terrence was in charge of the power.
“Business engagements require the presence of my wife, Mrs. Ramsey,”
Terrence answered very seriously. “I remember that you never liked this kind of occasion. So I refused all of them.”
“I can go there once in a while.”
“Okay, I got it.”
Terrence nodded and remembered every word she said.
That night, Alexa read Kieran’s Line post.
After such a long time, she finally saw some news about him.
The location was South Korea International Airport. There was no picture of it, only a short sentence.
“It’s been a long time.”
Alexa pondered silently for a moment before Clara sent a message.
“Alexa, my brother is going back home tomorrow. Want to come out for a get-together?”
“So fast?”
“Yes. My dad has not been in good health recently, so my brother plans to come back to inherit the family business.”
“Is he still a doctor?”
After a long time, Clara replied.
“No. When he takes over the company, I will divorce.”
Alexa was not actually surprised.
It was a business marriage alliance. Clara and the son of the Golding family had been treating each other with proper respect and concern for so many years. It was already a good ending for them to be
able to get along well.
“Alright, then let’s have dinner together tomorrow night.”
Alexa immediately told Terrence about this matter. He was about to fall asleep, but he instantly became vigilant.
“You want to see Kieran?”
“I want to go with you. If you don’t want to, we won’t go.” She didn’t want to force him.
“Do you want to see him?” Terrence asked doubtfully.
“Ms. Powell has already invited me. I said yes to her.”
The anticipation in Terrence’s eyes disappeared.
Alexa thought that he was unwilling to go, but he agreed in the end.
The venue for the dinner was a garden restaurant.
Terrence was still in the company for a meeting, so Alexa went first.
There was only one person in the seat.
Alexa glanced at it from afar, and a familiar yet strange feeling instantly welled up in her heart.
Kieran was still dressed in a refined suit, but his charisma was more mature than it had been two years ago.
The gentle twilight gently sprinkled on him, and the surroundings were quiet.
Kieran sensed her gaze, and he stood up to walk toward her.
“Dr. Powell. It’s been a long time.” Alexa was used to calling him that. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
“I’m no longer a doctor. Just call me Kieran,” Kieran said with a gentle smile.
“OK, Kieran.”
The two of them smiled at each other, and Kieran opened his arms to her with a warm look in his eyes.
Alexa stepped forward and hugged him. Suddenly, a sour feeling welled up in her heart.
“You really haven’t changed at all. There must be more girls who have secretly fallen in love with you,” Alexa joked.
“I have been to many places by myself, met many people, and seen many scenes.”
Kieran released her and paused.
“I am the only one walking on the road.”
“You will meet that girl one day.”
After Alexa finished speaking, an arm grabbed her shoulder and pulled her over.
“Hi.”
Terrence greeted Kieran with a half-smile, and his attitude was polite.
Kieran greeted Terrence with a straight face, and the two of them did not have the award atmosphere as before.
Alexa could feel that there was actually a misunderstanding between
Terrence and Kieran.
To Terrence, Kieran was undoubtedly his greatest threat.
After all, Kieran had previously had a crush on Alexa. It was magnanimous of Terrence to be able to politely say a few words to Kieran.
After they sat down, Terrence no longer spoke to Kieran.
The hand Alexa placed under the table was held by Terrence. Even if she wanted to say something, she had to think twice.
Kieran flipped through the menu and skillfully ordered a few dishes that Alexa liked.
Terrence’s face was obviously a little gloomy, and he was already starting to feel uneasy.
Kieran was just an ordinary friend of hers. He, her husband, did not say anything, but Kieran had already shown excessive attention.
Kieran did not seem to think so much. After ordering, he handed the menu to Alexa.
“Take a look. Is there anything else you would like to try?”
Terrence glanced at it and smiled at her intimately.
“Didn’t you tell me yesterday that you were tired of eating shrimp? It’s a changeover period. You will be easily allergic to mangoes.”
Alexa silently looked at the menu.
Did Terrence say that on purpose to tell Kieran that he ordered the wrong dishes?
Alexa did not want to ruin Kieran’s good intentions, so she did not connive Terrence’s words.
“It’s okay. I like these dishes quite a lot. Order a few more things that Clara likes to eat.”
“OK.” Kieran nodded in agreement.
At the same time, Terrence’s grip on her hand tightened a lot.
Alexa maintained a smile on her face and took out her phone to send
Terrence a message.
“Don’t make a fuss.”
Terrence frowned, but Alexa only cared about chatting with Kieran and did not pay attention to him at all.
Terrence dared to be angry and typed out a line of text to reply.
“Mrs. Ramsey, you’re laughing so hard. Are you so happy?”
Alexa did not reply.
Terrence added, “Very good.”
