Chapter 228 I Really Don't Deserve to Be Loved

"Mr. Powell, please don't be fooled by her. In the entire New York City, who doesn't know that Alexa can sleep with any man and is a hypocrite?" Athena criticized Alexa on the moral high ground.

"Athena!"

Kieran instantly slapped the table and stood up. The veins on his forehead were faintly visible, and he glared at Athena angrily.

Alexa originally did not take Athena seriously, but seeing Kieran so angry, she could not stand by and do nothing.

"Apologize to her." Kieran's tone was gloomy.

"Why should I apologize to her?" Athena rolled her eyes in disdain. "Am I not telling the truth?"

"Athena, I'll give you one last chance. Are you going to apologize or not?"

Athena did not expect Kieran to be so hostile to her.

Athena thought, this man really deserves to be cheated by Alexa!

She gritted her teeth and glared at Alexa before tugging at Brenton's sleeve.

Brenton frowned and shook her hand off in disgust.

"Apologize to Alexa!"

"Brenton, I am your fiancée. How can you treat me like this?"

Brenton was choked by Athena. His face turned ashen and cold.

Marrying Athena was not his own will, and Brenton only had hatred for this woman.

Watching this farce get more and more exciting, Alexa was about to settle down the conflict, but she didn't expect Terrence to come over.

The atmosphere at the scene was instantly cold to the extreme.

Before this Brenton in front of her could be resolved, another man, Terrence, came.

Kieran stood in front of Alexa with a cold face and looked at the people in front of him with a serious expression.

Athena, who had been pestering just now, was now afraid.

She had seen what Terrence was capable of in the past two years.

Those who bullied Alexa in the past ended up only worse.

Athena curled her lips in dissatisfaction and prepared to endure humiliation and apologize.

However, Terrence did not pay them any attention at all. He just glanced at Alexa and then left without care.

Alexa looked up slightly and did not understand what he meant.

"Alexa. I apologize for her. Sorry to trouble you," Brenton said sincerely.

"It's fine."

Alexa didn't give them any extra looks. Instead, she looked at Kieran gently.

"Kieran, don't be angry. Let's go."

Hearing her words, Brenton felt a little jealous.

But so what? What could Brenton do about it?

Brenton didn't deserve Alexa's attention at all.

Brenton subconsciously lowered his head, deliberately avoiding her gaze.

"Alexa, you!"

"Ms. Golding, don't be agitated. Vision Group's offer to you still stands. After all, you have used so many resources. It is not easy," Alexa said slowly. Athena's proud self-esteem was instantly torn to pieces, but she did not dare to say anything more, so she could only leave with Brenton with a sullen face. After leaving the restaurant with Kieran, they slowly walked on the street with dim street lights.

Alexa combed her hair that had been messed up by the sea breeze and looked thoughtfully at the sea surface, which was humming under the waves.

"Sorry, I just..." Kieran looked down slightly. "I was impulsive."

"Thank you. I haven't experienced the feeling of having someone to back me up for a long time, so, thank you," Alexa smiled faintly. Kieran paused and looked down at her fair and slender hand. The road at night was empty and there were few pedestrians on the street.

They walked together quietly and naturally, like a couple walking.

Kieran thought silently and was suddenly shocked by this idea.

He instantly collected his thoughts and found that Alexa had stopped.

"What did Ms. Bailey say?"

"Huh?"

"After all, I'm such a shady person. I even brought a child. The Bailey family should be unhappy that you're so close to me, right?" Alexa mocked herself.

"Whether they are happy or not has nothing to do with me. Plus, there is no messy relationship between me and Rita," Kieran explained. Kieran's meaning was very obvious, and he was even a little nervous.

He was eager to prove himself in front of Alexa.

"Hmm."

Alexa nodded with a smile, and light dimples appeared on her cheeks.

"But it's time for you to get married. Didn't Mr. Bart urge you?"

Kieran understood what Alexa meant, but he knew he had to pretend he knew nothing about Alexa's implication.

"Two years ago, my brother asked me to fake marriage with you.

I'm really sorry."

"Why apologize?

"If it bothers your future wife, I can explain."

Alexa's eyes were clear, and she was not joking at all.

"Alexa," Kieran lowered his head and spoke carefully.

"What's wrong?"

Alexa looked up into his eyes. For the first time, she found a trace of panic in Kieran's eyes.

"What if I didn't treat the marriage certificate as a bluff?"

When he finished his words, the atmosphere instantly froze.

"Sorry, I... Sorry," Kieran said in vain.

"Really?"

Alexa simply asked these words, but Kieran could not answer.

"But, why? I have divorced, and I have a child," Alexa said as she walked forward.

"Alexa, I don't care about that, and I will treat Damarion as my own child."

"What about your future? Don't you want it? Mr. Bart won't agree either," Alexa asked jokingly.

"I have ways to solve all these problems."

However, Alexa shook her head indifferently.

"I can't be so selfish. I can't stop you from meeting better people."

The sea breeze was getting colder, and Alexa was getting colder.

She tidied up her clothes and continued walking forward. Suddenly, she fell into a warm embrace.

Kieran hugged her tightly from behind. Alexa was dazed for a moment.

"I'm not asking you for a relationship. I just want to tell you my feelings."

"Kieran..."

Alexa murmured his name softly. His entire brain was completely empty.

She had never thought that after being tortured by Terrence, she would actually have such feelings for a man. "Give me a little more time, okay? I really am not a person worthy of being loved, so... give me a little more time."

The dim yellow light shone on them, and the world seemed to be so small.

In this small world, Alexa heard Kieran's voice.

"You are worth it," Kieran said firmly. "All my waiting is because you are worth it."

A moment later, a dazzling white light suddenly hit them.

Alexa nearly subconsciously left Kieran's arms and looked over guiltily.

Sure enough, it was Terrence's car.

Didn't he leave just now? Why did he come back now?

"Let's go." Alexa took the initiative to hold Kieran's hand. "Don't worry about him."

In the car not far away, Terrence silently gripped the steering

wheel, and his malicious eyes were fixed into their hands. Without any hesitation, Terrence immediately picked up his phone and called Alexa.
