If I Don’t Want to Pretend
“Why are you here all of a sudden?” Alexa asked quickly, “What happened?”
The expression on Kieran’s face was complicated, and he said indifferently.
“Someone told me the Ramsey family was making things difficult for you.”
“No, it’s just a meal.”
“You can’t really know someone. They might be planning something.”
Sensing that Kieran was a little angry, Alexa softened her attitude.
“I know what I’m doing.”
“But what if?”
“There is no ‘what if’.”
Kieran turned his head to look at Alexa with a smile, not knowing what to say.
“Keyon asked me to take care of you, so I can’t let anything happen to you.”
Kieran pursed his thin lips and took off his coat to wrap it around her tightly.
“What if you catch a cold in such cold weather?”
“Dr. Powell, got it.”
Alexa answered seriously. Kieran felt happy and was patient.
However, Terrence happened to see that as he quickly caught up with Alexa.
His aura was cold as he approached Alexa with a gloomy expression.
“Come here,” Terrence coldly ordered.
Kieran guarded him icily and held Alexa tighter.
“Are you really going with him?”
“Terrence, I said…”
“Come here.”
Alexa frowned in displeasure, clearly not fond of Terrence’s attitude.
She was not a pet that he could summon whenever he wanted.
“Kieran, let’s go.”
Alexa held Kieran’s hand. Terrence’s eyes were cold, and his hands hanging by his sides were
clenched.
“Alexa, if you want him to be my son’s stepfather, I will definitely not agree.”
As soon as those words were said, Alexa instantly stopped in her tracks.
Kieran gritted his teeth and glanced at Terrence. Kieran immediately tightened his grip on Alexa’s hand.
“Alexa…”
He spoke in a low voice, but Alexa’s eyes were slightly red.
She looked at Terrence with a determined face, and her thin body was firm.
“Terrence, anyone can be his father but not you.”
The atmosphere instantly became cold. Terrence’s eyes were bloodshot, and it was obvious he was
about to flip out.
“Alexa!”
“I’ve made it perfectly clear.” Alexa coldly withdrew his gaze. “If you cross the line again, don’t blame
me for being ruthless.”
Terrence did not chase after her in the end, as if he was nailed to the spot, watching her and Kieran
leave.
A supposedly good dinner party turned out to be a disaster.
Alexa sat in Kieran’s car and leaned tiredly in the seat. He was as quiet as a cat.
Kieran opened the door and handed him a glass of hot milk.
“Are you hungry?” He asked thoughtfully, “Let’s eat somewhere else? The restaurant in the west of the
city is still open.”
“Okay.”
Alexa nodded slightly. Kieran suddenly leaned into the carriage, and they were only inches away from
each other.
Kieran’s cold scent lingered around her. Alexa felt her heart beating faster and faster and held her
breath, afraid he would notice something strange.
But Alexa forgot … Kieran was a doctor.
He smiled thoughtfully, and with a light clap, he helped her buckle her seat belt.
Alexa gradually calmed down but did not dare to look up at Kieran.
“If you are worried that they will misunderstand you, I can explain.”
“No need to explain.” Alexa said unnaturally, “I am not afraid of them misunderstanding.”
“That’s true.” Kieran chuckled and casually teased, “We’ve known each other for many years. If we
wanted to, we should have been together a long ago.”
Alexa suddenly felt the little deer in her heart that had been silent for a long time now seem to show
signs of recovery.
But Kieran stopped the topic and concentrated on driving to the restaurant. It was already nine o’clock
in the evening, and there were few customers in the restaurant, so it was about to close.
“One serving of fresh shrimp soup, two servings of salad, and a plate of roasted pigeon.”
After Kieran finished speaking, he turned back to look at her.
“Do you want anything else?”
After so many years, he actually still remembered her preferences.
“No, it’s enough,” Alexa said softly.
They chose a table by the window and sat down. The heater was turned on, and
Alexa took off Kieran’s coat.
She wore a V-neck long dress, and the ingenious design perfectly outlined her curvaceous figure.
Kieran suddenly felt a little hot and looked away unnaturally.
In front of him, Alexa was not shy.
She gulped down the soup as if she had been hungry for days.
“Take your time. No one is snatching it.”
“I am hungry.” Alexa said in a fuzzy voice and soon finished a bowl of shrimp soup.
Kieran stared at her and didn’t eat.
“Why are you looking at me?”
“Because you are beautiful.”
“The soup is almost cold.”
Alexa stared at the bowl of soup in front of him and focused on “eating”.
“It was hot but not anymore.”
After Kieran finished speaking, he moved the soup in front of him to her.
“Thank you.”
Perhaps it had been exhausting dealing with Terrence, so Alexa felt she was starving.
“How is Damarion recently?”
“He’s pretty good.” Alexa said calmly, “With my brother taking care of him, he must have forgotten
about me, his mother.”
“I’ve been busy at the hospital recently. When I have time, I will definitely go to see him.”
“It’s fine. It’s easy to cheer him up. He won’t mind,” Alexa said casually.
Kieran smiled helplessly. After Alexa had her fill, they walked leisurely on the street to go home.
“I haven’t answered your question that day.”
“It’s all in the past. Just pretend it never happened,” Kieran said.
“But what if I take it seriously?”
In an instant, Kieran’s eyes flashed with a touch of disbelief.
“Alexa?”
Kieran touched her forehead with the back of his hand.
“You didn’t drink wine just now, right? Are you feeling unwell?”
“I didn’t!” Alexa said resolutely, “Mr. Powell, I am very sure I am sober now!”
“Okay…”
Kieran could not react for a while and stared at her, but he could not say anything.
“I have never properly confessed to anyone before.”
“Yes…”
“You are the first.” Alexa looked up at him, her gaze gentle and affectionate.
“So… do you want to try?”
Her warm, soft, and sweet lips were right in front of him. Kieran pursed his thin lips slightly, and a warm
feeling spread all over his body again.
“Alexa…” Kieran’s eyes were dark as he spoiled the mood. “If you want to use this to make Terrence
angry, we can pretend…” Alexa’s eyes flashed, and she suddenly grabbed his tie and pulled it hard.
“What if I don’t want to pretend?”
