Chapter 278 Let Me Hear Your Voice

Alexa had already noticed that the atmosphere between them was very strange, but she just quietly listened to Kieran and did not say anything else. In a corner not far away, a camera was aimed at them, and many photos were taken. "There is a dinner party on Staten Island tomorrow. If you have time, could you go with me?"

"Staten Island?"

"Do you remember the Moss family from New York?"

"The family that sells perfume?"

"That's right," Kieran said unhurriedly. "The Moss family will hold an art exhibition on Staten Island tomorrow. The main point is that the eldest son of the family, Caspian Moss, will be there."

"Caspian?"

"He was a law student. He used to be Sean Holland's assistant, but later he left the industry and went abroad to learn perfume making."

Alexa understood when he brought up Sean.

Sean was one of Derick's defense lawyers.

However, they were investigating it secretly. How did Kieran know so much?

As if he had read Alexa's mind, Kieran smiled.

"Conley has said a few words about it. I want to be helpful."

"Thank you." Alexa smiled with relief. "You've already helped me a lot."

"We've finished the coffee. Let's go."

Only then did Alexa realize that they had spent so much time in the coffee house.

When they were out on the street, it was already dark, and the neon lights were coming on.

"New York at night is really beautiful."

Alexa heard Kieran say. And the next moment, Kieran took her hand, and the faint fir fragrance on him was just inches away.

Alexa lost her head for a moment. She looked up at Kieran in surprise.

Kieran's eyes, with the street lights reflected in them, were sparking like a lake that was rippled by the night breeze.

"Dr. Powell..."

Alexa blurted out, but Kieran leaned over and took her into his arms, as gently as the moon.

"Don't say no to me, and don't push me away," he said smilingly. "They are at six o'clock."

Hearing this, Alexa immediately understood what he meant.

She discreetly glanced over from the corner of her eye and saw a few lurking in the shadows. It must be her parents' men again. Alexa sighed helplessly and smiled at Kieran apologetically.

"Once again, sorry for the trouble."

"No big deal."

Kieran said politely. After those people left, he let go of Alexa unhurriedly. And very thoughtfully, he helped her straighten her collar. "Let's go. I'll send you home."

On the way back, the two did not talk anymore.

Alexa had a stronger feeling that her confession that night was like a dream.

He must have felt it. But why was he so cooperative?

Kieran deserved a better person. But why did he waste so much time on her when he had so many other choices?

Alexa had just gotten out of Kieran's car when Terrence called.

Hearing the ceaseless ringtone, Kieran had mixed emotions in his eyes.

"Then have a good rest. I will pick you up at five o'clock tomorrow afternoon." It wasn't until Kieran's car completely disappeared from her sight that Alexa unhurriedly answered the phone.

"What?"

"What?" Terrence gritted his teeth and said. "You didn't answer my messages or calls. You must be having a great time with him."

"I was in the car just now and missed the messages." Alexa was very calm. "If you have things to say, just say it."

She always took care to keep her distance from him. Terrence felt bitter, but he couldn't replace a good reason to flare up.

"Do you give Kieran the same attitude?" Terrence suddenly asked. "You must enjoy being with him, right?"

"What?"

"Not long after I left, you couldn't wait to go to meet him."

Terrence's tone was very strange. His tone sounded sulky and even a bit accusatory.

"Alexa, what am I to you?"

"My son's biological father," Alexa said matter-of-factly.

Terrence wasn't expecting this answer at all.

"I just had three meetings. I'm exhausted," he continued. "Can you not talk to me like this?"

"How do you want me to talk to you?"

"Different than this."

Alexa's eyelashes fluttered, and she looked more approachable in the moonlight.

"I need to sleep. Whatever it is, let's talk about it tomorrow."

With that, she hung up the phone without hesitation.

Terrence held the phone to his ear and stood by the window in the same position for a long time.

Alexa... Good for you!

He was so upset that he couldn't think of anything to say. And his face was livid.

Terrence's chest rose and fell slightly, showing that he was very angry now.

He was very possessive and was never as tolerant as Alexa thought.

Kieran, right? And other men?

Sooner or later, he would kick them out of Alexa's life!

Alexa lost sleep the same night. She didn't know if it was because of the call with Terrence.

She was not sleepy at all even when it was after midnight.

Damarion was sleeping soundly in his bed. Alexa quietly got up and left the room to take a sleeping pill.

Unexpectedly, Terrence texted her again.

He talked about his life to her as he liked and seemed to not care whether Alexa would reply. And now, he sent her a picture of a desk. And the message was only two words: "Working overtime." Alexa thought for a while and sent a question mark. Unexpectedly, she got an instant reply.

"Why are you still up?"

She was thinking about how to reply when Terrence gave her a call.

"What are you doing?"

He asked. His gentle voice somehow made Alexa's heart skip a beat.

For some reason, Alexa replied truthfully.

"I can't sleep. I'm looking for pills."

"You want to take sleeping pills again?" Terrence's voice immediately became serious. "No pills. Drink a glass of warm milk."

"The pills work faster."

"If you don't drink milk, I will come home right away and force you to drink it."

Alexa was speechless for a moment. And she knew that Terrence would do such a thing.

"Alright. I will." Alexa did as he said and had a glass of warm milk.

"I'm hanging up."

"Not yet."

"I'm going to sleep."

"Let me hear your voice," Terrence said affectionately. "I'll hang up when you fall asleep."

"What's so good about my voice?"

"I just like it." It was such a weird request, but Alexa did not turn him down. She put her phone next to her head. It was unknown whether it was psychological, but Alexa soon fell asleep after the milk.

Half an hour later, Terrence finally finished his work and closed the laptop.

There was no sound coming from the other end of the line. He guessed that Alexa must have fallen asleep.

"Good night, my girl."
