Chapter 276 Regret Is All Related to You
On the way home, Terrence seemed to be more nervous than Alexa was.
Alexa stole a glance at Terrence but was caught by him.
Alexa immediately averted her gaze guiltily, but Terrence held her hand without any explanation.
Terrence's palm, which was covered with a thin layer of callus, actually exuded some sweat.
Alexa's eyelashes fluttered.
She asked tentatively, ' "Are you alright?"
"I am okay."
Terrence looked straight ahead and tugged at his tie.
"I'm just going to pick up Damarion. Why are you so nervous?"
"You don't understand."
Terrence awkwardly squeezed out these words. Alexa was confused.
When they arrived at the villa, Yareli was already waiting at the door with Damarion in her arms.
After seeing the two of them, Damarion shouted happily.
"Mom and Dad."
Alexa could clearly feel that the man beside her quickly relaxed.
Terrence quickly stepped forward and held Damarion in his arms. His eyes were full of joy.
"Damar, did you miss me?"
Alexa pinched his chubby face and smiled happily.
All the tiredness accumulated in Alexa's heart was swept away.
"I miss you, Mom," Damarion answered elatedly and suddenly kissed Terrence on the face. "I miss Dad too."
Terrence's eyes, which were hiding his joy, shrank in surprise, and then he looked at Alexa.
Alexa just smiled and didn't correct Damarion.
"Where do you want to go today?" Alexa patiently asked for Damarion's opinion.
Terrence calmly gave Edwin a look, and the latter immediately stepped forward.
Edwin said, "Mrs. Ramsey, Mr. Ramsey has personally formulated 20 sightseeing plans. Everything
has been arranged properly."
"20 plans... It's just an ordinary weekend. There's no need to be so grand." Alexa held her forehead.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"No," Terrence said methodically, "this is the first time our family has spent a wonderful weekend
together, so it is very memorable. I will also make plans for trips every time we take." In the blink of an
eye, Damarion had begun to gnaw on Terrence's collar clip. The saliva flowing out of the little fellow
had soaked a large part of his lapel. It was not good for the child to do that.
"Damarion, you can't do this," Alexa subconsciously blurted out. "Dad's..."
Terrence raised his eyebrows slightly, looking forward to her finishing this sentence.
Alexa realized that she said something wrong and fell silent in an instant, but Damarion was looking at
her curiously at this time.
Thinking about it, Alexa still finished with a calm face.
"Dad's clothes will be stained by you."
Terrence just held Alexa's hand when she finished her words.
The warm touch tightly wrapped around her slender hand and gave her an inexplicable feeling of
peace.
"No," Terrence smiled gently. "Let's go. Let's go."
Half an hour later, their car stopped in front of a quiet courtyard. It was a small village far away from the
center of the city. There was a lawn, a running stream, and a forest, forming a beautiful picture.
Terrence knocked on the wooden door unhurriedly, and soon a kind old granny came to open the door.
"Mrs. Clarke."
"Hey, Terrence!"
Mallory cried out in surprise and immediately turned to welcome them in.
"This is my wife, Alexa. This is my son, Damarion," Terrence introduced seriously.
"Nice to meet you." Mallory bowed slightly and said, "Please take a seat. Colten is making coffee. Can
the child drink milk?"
"Yes, thank you."
Terrence nodded slightly and placed Damarion on the ground, allowing him to have fun in the
courtyard.
Not long after, Mallory brought over a pot of fragrant and mellow coffee.
"Terrence, this is the first time that you bring your wife and child here." Mallory smiled happily, "You look
happy."
Alexa smiled politely and nodded. It was rare for her to be so relaxed.
Not long after, an old man with a fishing rod came into the courtyard.
"Will you have lunch here? There is fresh bass today."
"Thank you, Mr. Clarke."
After a simple chat with them, Mallory and Colten went to cook.
Alexa took a sip of the coffee and found that Terrence was looking at her.
"You... Why are you looking at me?"
"You are good-looking," Terrence praised. "I'm afraid it's hard to find a second person as perfect as you
in this world."
"It's too exaggerated..."
Alexa's ears were red, and she changed the topic.
"You seem to be very familiar with Mrs. Clarke and Mr. Clarke."
"Yes. Do you want to know why?" Terrence deliberately asked.
"Yes, go ahead."
"This is my secret. I can't tell you so easily."
"Forget it if you don't want to tell me."
"Can't you ask me one more time?"
A hint of a smile flashed through Terrence's eyes.
He said, "I found this place a year ago when I went out to relax.
This is the most unique restaurant in this village. Only when the owner is in a good mood will it open."
"So you just happened to run into it?"
"It just so happened that Mr. Clarke came back from fishing, and I was fortunate enough to have a
good meal."
"That's great."
Alexa sincerely sighed that such a life was really very happy.
However, the light in Terrence's eyes was a little dim when he heard Alexa's words.
A year ago, it was the time when he searched the world for her but completely lost hope.
Even if the doctor had personally said that Alexa had left, he had never accepted this fact.
The days of searching for her were always slow and difficult to bear.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven when he closed his eyes, he could see the scene in which Alexa was lying in the hospital covered in blood.
Terrence's thin lips were tightly pursed, and his fingers were firmly pressed against the hot cup, but he did not feel
any pain.
Alexa sensed Terrence's strangeness.
She asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Terrence did not intend to reveal his true intentions, but he had other questions he wanted to ask.
"Alexa, how did you come over these two years?"
Alexa suddenly became absent-minded and caught a touch of
emotion called "pity" in Terrence's eyes.
"I..."
Before Alexa could plot her words, Damarion happily ran over and threw herself into her arms. Then she put a
piece of golden ginkgo leaf into Alexa's palm.
"Mom, here you are."
Alexa smiled brightly.
She asked gently, "Is this a gift from Damarion?"
"Yes, a gift." Damarion clearly repeated this word.
"Thank you, Damar."
Alexa was quite moved and held Damarion in her arms.
Terrence watched the interaction between the mother and son, and he felt warmth and tenderness.
However, the more it was like this, the more Terrence felt guilty.
He was absent for two years when Alexa needed him the most.
Terrence was thinking about the past when he suddenly felt his sleeve being pulled. He immediately came back to
his senses.
"Dad, I'm hungry."
"Hungry?"
"Here comes the bass."
Mallory spoke at the right time and brought a plate of steamed bass and other dishes onto the table.
"Come on."
