Chapter 426 You Don't Like to Laugh
It was already late at night, and there were no other guests in the coffee shop.
Marin put her hand on the man's outstretched hand and smiled elegantly at him.
"Could I ask you to help me over please?"
"Sure."
The man nodded gently and carefully helped Marin over.
Marin adjusted the frame on the bridge of her nose and hid the smile in her eyes.
"Let me take a look at your ankle?"
The man knelt in front of her with one knee, his movements elegant and polite.
Marin rolled up her dress and stared at him intently.
Her eyes were so passionate that the man looked up at her.
"Why are you looking at me?"
"You look handsome." Marin tilted her head charmingly as she asked, "Is this your first time here for
coffee?"
"Yes."
The man skillfully massaged her ankle and then carefully helped her tie the straps of her high heel.
Marin put on her lipstick and smiled.
"Then I'll treat you to a cup of coffee."
Then, she instructed the shop assistant.
"Make a cup of cappuccino for this gentleman. The same as my cup of coffee. Thank you."
The man quietly lowered his eyes to look at Marin, but before he could refuse, Marin paid and left.
"Enjoy your coffee and the night..." Marin said slightly, "Good night."
The man did not like sweet coffee like cappuccino. He wanted to order a cup of Americano.
However, when the shop assistant served the coffee, he also served a chocolate cake.
"Sir, please enjoy your coffee."
After a moment of silence, the man picked up the coffee and took a sip.
The mellow milk fragrance instantly lingered, and he was much warmer.
At this time, Marin had already gotten in her car and called Alexa with great interest.
"Pretty?" Marin said with interest, "I heard that your birthday banquet is approaching. Will I receive your
invitation?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"My invitation?" Alexa replied calmly, "You've set your eyes on me again?
Tell me, what do you want to do this time?"
"For my work needs."
"Huh?"
"I want to see someone, and you know that person."
"Someone by my side?"
"I guess so." Marin said ambiguously, "I'm a little interested in him."
Their conversation ended very quickly.
Alexa was confused, completely not understanding what Marin meant.
She thought about it for a while. Terrence took a shower and came into the room, wearing a sleeping
robe.
"Why haven't you slept yet? Aren't you sleepy?" Terrence asked gently.
"I am waiting for you."
Alexa put down her phone and changed to a more comfortable position to lie down.
"It's so late. You don’t have to wait for me." Terrence covered the corner of her quilt for her. "But I will
pay attention and won't work so late."
"I disrupted your plan today."
"You will always be first in my heart, so you did not disrupt me."
Terrence lay down beside her, and Alexa immediately burrowed into his arms out of instinct.
"It's a little cold."
Alexa's voice was muffled.
Terrence immediately held her hand to check her temperature.
"I'll turn on the heater."
1 No need." Alexa leaned against his chest and said, "I just want you to hold me. Don't let me go."
"I see."
Alexa had never been so clingy before.
But after she got pregnant, she would often feel insecure.
It was fine in the daytime, but she would feel inexplicably flustered at night.
Terrence spent most of his time with her, so she could suppress this feeling most of the time.
But tonight, for some reason, her mind was always in a mess.
"Have a good sleep." Alexa's heart ached for Terrence as she said, "I just want to hold you. It's
nothing."
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Terrence kissed her forehead.
"I'll go out for a while."
"Oh, okay."
Alexa let go of Terrence, thinking that Terrence had something urgent to do.
She curled up in bed alone, her emotions fluctuating.
The doctor said that this was the normal reaction to pregnancy, so Alexa did not take it seriously.
However, not long after, Terrence returned with a bowl of chicken soup.
"I asked the chef to boil it this afternoon." He helped Alexa up and said, "It's good to drink it now. It's
your favorite flavor."
He helped Alexa up and then fed her spoon by spoon.
"Are you happy now?"
"Yes, I am happy."
"You don't like to laugh anymore." Terrence pinched her face and said, "I should think of another way to
cheer you up."
"Think of what way?"
Alexa waited for him to answer with interest, and Terrence said seriously.
"If there is anything else you want to eat and play with, you can tell me."
Alexa thought about it, and her eyes were fixed on Terrence as sweet as honey.
"You..."
Alexa whispered, her eyes charming.
Terrence pursed her lips and replied seriously.
"No. That's not allowed."
"I see."
Alexa blinked and lay down happily.
"Then let's rest early, Mr. Ramsey."
"Okay."
However, although Terrence agreed, he did not fall asleep at all that night.
After Alexa fell asleep, he kept getting up to check her condition.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was not until her breathing became steady that Terrence lay down at ease.
Alexa slept soundly that night.
When she got up the next day, Terrence was no longer by her side.
The servant served her breakfast.
After washing up, Alexa changed her clothes.
"Where is Terrence?"
"Sir is at the beach, Mrs. Ramsey."
"At the beach?"
Alexa opened the curtains in surprise.
Looking out of the room, she could indeed see Terrence.
He wore casual clothes today and was strolling by the sea alone.
"Sir went to the sea early in the morning and didn't even have breakfast."
"Prepare another breakfast." Alexa said, "I'll go find him."
Terrence did not expect Alexa to come to find him.
He stopped and smiled much brighter than usual.
"The wind is strong by the sea. I'll go back and find you."
"This is romantic." Alexa handed the lunchbox in her hand to Terrence and said, "We can have
breakfast together at the beach."
Not far away, there was a picnic area. Alexa held his hand and walked over there.
After she placed the food inside one by one, she suddenly noticed Terrence's movements behind her.
"What's wrong...?"
Before Alexa finished speaking, a ring box suddenly appeared in Terrence's palm.
He smiled sincerely at Alexa and then knelt on one knee.
"What are you doing?"
Alexa was so surprised that she froze in place.
"Alexa, you said to marry me again in the wedding dress shop that day. But in fact, I should take the
initiative to approach you."
Terrence's eyes were always looking into her eyes, so pure that there was no impurity at all.
"Actually, I have already prepared this ring for you for a long time." Terrence said in a low voice, "Just
like the one we were engaged to at that time. This time, I want to formally propose to you."
Alexa did not make a sound. Terrence's confession was very simple.
Alexa, I'm sorry...1
