Chapter 427 Proposal

It was quiet for a few seconds, and there was only the sound of the sea breeze blowing.

His confession was not like a touching poem, yet it reached her heart word by word.

It was bittersweet and bloomed like a warm flower in her heart.

Alexa's eyes sparkled with tears.

Terrence did not urge Alexa to answer. Instead, he maintained his posture and knelt in front of her on one knee.

Alexa smiled suddenly.

"Mr. Ramsey, no one proposes as you do."

Terrence looked at her, his eyes full of anticipation and nervousness.

"How can you say '1 am sorry' when you propose?" Alexa smiled in happiness as tears rolled down, "You have to say '1 love you'. Little fool."

"I love you." There were tears in Terrence's eyes too. "I love you. I love you..."

Alexa didn't reach out her hand to let Terrence put the ring on her finger, but stretched out to Terrence.

"Hold me," she said.

Without hesitation, Terrence reached out to Alexa, and Alexa then gently pulled Terrence up.

Before Terrence could finish speaking, Alexa held him tightly.

"I haven't put the ring on your finger yet." Terrence embraced her with a smile and said in a doting tone, "May I finish the ritual?"

Alexa kissed Terrence first and then left Terrence's embrace. She just directly reached out her hand to Terrence.

"We are equal. I don't want you to show humbleness and kneel down." Alexa said calmly, "So, just put the ring on my finger like this, okay?" Terrence nodded and put the ring on her finger very solemnly.

This ring was not very stylish now, but it was carefully chosen by Alexa herself in the past.

"I do have very good taste." Alexa teased, "The more I look at it, the more I like it."

She then looked at the ring on Terrence's hand.

Apparently, he had been wearing it for many years.

"This is just the marriage proposal that I dreamed of."

Alexa and Terrence crossed their fingers and strolled on the beach.

No noise, no crowd. Just the two of us. That's all I wanted."

"I should have prepared it earlier," Terrence said.

Sensing that Terrence was about to say "sorry" again, Alexa quickly changed the topic.

"Time makes romance, so everything is just right today." After she finished speaking, she added, "By the way, today you are not allowed to say 'Sorry' again." Terrence smiled and lowered his head coyly.

"Okay, at your disposal, Mrs. Ramsey."

Today was the last day of the holiday, and they did not go out for fun tonight.

Terrence stayed with Alexa, who rested in the villa, while preparing for Alexa's birthday banquet.

"There's no need to make such a brand banquet." Alexa closed the book.

"Actually, I would more like to have a meal with just our family. It'll be noisy if we invite too many people."

Alexa disliked noisy places, and now that she was pregnant, she longed for quietness more.

"Yes, I understand." Terrence knew Alexa very well. "I'm arranging the chef. I'm worried that the dishes won't suit your taste."

Terrence arranged every detail. Including what to drink and what to eat, he planned everything well.

Alexa suddenly thought that Marin had expressed interest in a certain man around her.

He must be an extraordinary person that even the top-tier private detective would take a fancy to him.

Alexa glanced at Terrence but soon abandoned the thought in her heart.

Impossible, absolutely impossible...

"What's the matter?"

"Nothing." Alexa said absentmindedly, "I just found you were so handsome, so I took a few more glances at you."

"A few more glances?"

Terrence moved closer to her.

"Glance at me. Keep glancing at me, will you?"

He was like a clumsy child, waiting expectantly for Alexa to give him the "candy".

Alexa fed Terrence a strawberry, but he grew even more "insatiable".

"I'm afraid it is not enough." His fingertips wandered on the back of Alexa's hand. "It is not sweet enough."

Alexa was not affectedly bashful. She leaned over and lightly kissed him on the lips. "Is this enough?"

This kind of teasing kiss was way more intoxicating than any other intimate contact. Terrence was stunned for a moment but soon regained control and deepened the kiss with ease.

Alexa fell on the sofa with a soft waist and wrapped her arms around Terrence's neck.

However, a few seconds later, a sudden phone call interrupted them.

"My phone..."

Alexa took the phone from the coffee table in a hurry.

Terrence pursed his lips and felt a little unsatisfied.

Seeing that it was a call from Zeke, Alexa immediately turned serious.

"What is it?"

'Alexa, my sister. I want to meet you," Zeke said casually.

His tone seemed sloven.

Thinking of how he called Sasha, Alexa was very disgusted with Zeke calling her "my sister".

"What's the matter?"

"Can you not be so cold?" Zeke didn't care about Alexa's mood at all.

"Anyway, I am your younger brother in name."

"I don't have such a brother like you."

Hearing Alexa's words, Terrence gave her a look and then took over the phone.

"What is it? You can tell me."

Terrence's tone was very cold, and so were his eyes.

Zeke was a little afraid of Terrence in his heart, but he wouldn't give up easily.

"Who are you?" Zeke said aggressively, "I am looking for my sister Alexa."

"I am her husband."

"Mr. Ramsey, you should say you are my brother-in-law." Zeke questioned, "Do you still care about the Duran family in your heart?"

"Haven't you suffered enough yet?" Terrence sneered and remained calm, "Your problems can't be settled, so now you are trying to involve my wife, isn't it? Zeke, are you tired of living?" With his true intentions being seen through by Terrence, Zeke's face turned blue.

"In short, I'm not the only one to be blamed." Zeke argued, "If it wasn't for her to disrupt and provoked the Lumis family, the Duran family would not have been targeted."

Terrence sneered silently.

No one had ever dared to speak like that to him.

"Okay." Terrence said in a deep voice, "I'll talk to you."

Although Zeke was so unbridled on the phone, he was too afraid to meet Terrence.

That night, only Zeke's lawyers came.

Terrence didn't even show up but just let the lawyer team of Hudson Group send them away.

Alexa sat on the swing, swinging her legs with interest.

"Let me guess what trouble that idiot caused again."

"It's just what he deserves." Terrence remained gentle toward Alexa. "Don't worry. I'll deal with him."

Terrence said in a flat tone.

However, Alexa knew Zeke too well.

If Zeke didn't call her, things might have been all right, but now, there must be huge trouble.

After sending Alexa back to the room, Terrence went downstairs and called Edwin.

"No matter where Zeke is hiding, replace him tonight." Terrence ordered in a cold voice, "Bring him to me."

"Yes, Mr. Ramsey."

It was not difficult for them to search for someone.

But when Edwin broke through the door of the hotel with his subordinates, he ran into those masked men with unknown whereabouts last time.

Both sides stopped for a second, and Zeke on the bed just sneered.

"It seems that there are a lot of people caring about me. Who sent you guys then?"
