Chapter 92 Son-in-Law
Terrence still believed in the power of money.
Alexa skipped this topic and walked to the mall with Terrence
Today was Saturday, so there were a lot of people in the mall.
Terrence hated this noisy place. He didn’t complain today because Alexa was by his side.
“What do you need?” Alexa asked.
“What do you think I lack?”
“Nothing.” Alexa nodded and remembered one thing. “If you don’t like this place, wait for
me
outside.”
Terrence looked around and frowned.
“Not that bad.”
Terrence was handsome and noble while Alexa was beautiful. This outstanding couple was
eye-catching and caught the attention of others whenever they went.
Terrence shot a glance at those onlookers with a long face and concluded that they were
attracted
by Alexa.
Why doesn’t Alexa do something? Doesn’t she know that those people have something
bad in their
minds?Terrence thought.
Without hesitation, Terrence took off his suit jacket and wrapped it around Alexa. Before
Alexa protested, Terrence pulled her into his arms by the shoulders.
“What is wrong?” Alexa said in a panic. “People are looking at us.”
“They cannot believe that you dressed up like this in this season.”
“What is the problem? It’s not cold today.”
“You are sick when you feel cold.”
Speaking, Terrence led Alexa to a fancy clothing shop not far away.
Alexa felt at ease in this shop. He took a white coat and handed it to Terrence.

“This coat is not bad. Put it on,” Terrence said coolly.
Alexa glanced at the price tag and thought, two, three, four, five zeros…
Alexa felt dizzy and thought, with so much money, I could buy a company like the Duran
Group,
However, Terrence spent this large sum of money on a coat.
A saleswoman was eagle-eyed. She immediately came over and praised Alexa
enthusiastically.
The saleswoman introduced that this coat was an exclusive product of a famous designer
and that this design had appeared in a runway show. I don’t give a damn! I just know that
this coat costs 500 thousand dollars but looks no different from those ordinary ones! Alexa
thought.
After the saleswoman helped Alexa put on the coat, Terrence nodded slightly and handed
over his
bank card without hesitation.
Alexa was ill at ease. She felt like a commodity being judged when Terrence looked her up
and down. In the end, Terrence gave Alexa short praise.
“You look good in this coat.” Terrence revealed a rare smile. After a while, he asked, “Did
Keyon buy a coat for you?”
“No, he didn’t,” Alexa said honestly. “However, he will if I want one.”
“Really?”
The smile in Terrence’s eyes faded. Terrence thought, I will win Keyon.
“You are quite protective of him,” Terrence said indifferently.
Then, Terrence led the way out of the shop.
Alexa jogged to catch up with Terrence without noticing his jealousy.
“Of course. He is my brother. He is one of the only two men who love me.”
Alexa was afraid that there would be a misunderstanding.
Therefore, she added, “The other one is

father.”
“You love your family very much,” Terrence said blandly.
“Of course,” Alexa looked Terrence in the face and said in a decisive tone. “Isn’t it the right
thing?”
“According to the law, I am the son-in-law of the Duran family,” Terrence said calmly. “I am
a member of your family.”
Son-in-law… Alexa thought.
This address frightened Alexa.
Isn’t this marriage a deal for him? He seldom mentions his family! Alexa thought.

All of a sudden, Alexa did not know how to respond.
Right then, Terrence’s phone rang.
Alexa walked away sensibly. Terrence answered the call without scruples.
His tone during the conversation did not change much. He ended the call after some
short
responses.
“Do you have something to do?” Alexa straightened her clothes with fake calmness.
“Ruben came back from abroad. He will hold a ball tonight. Do you want to go?”
Keyon had introduced a lot of people to Alexa, so she knew Ruben, a classmate of her
brother at
university.
“My name isn’t on his guest list,” Alexa said in a low voice.
Terrence pulled a long face and looked gloomy.
“You may go as Mrs. Ramsey.”
“Oh… Do you want me to go?” Alexa asked cautiously.
What is she talking about? Terrence thought.
Terrence frowned.
Then, he said, “Go if you want to. Forget it if you don’t want to.”
“Are you going with me?”
It was a stupid question, so Terrence couldn’t help flaring up.
“Who else will go with you?” Terrence asked in a low voice, and there was a cold light in
his eyes. “Who do you want to go with?”
“I just want to make sure.”

After Alexa agreed to go to the ball, Terrence invited a team of stylists to his manor.
One stylist had brought Alexa a golden velvet dress with a fishtail. This dress perfectly
displayed Alexa’s good figure. Against her fair and delicate skin, Alexa in this dress looked
like white chocolate that was about to melt under the autumn sun.
Terrence sat on a sofa and smiled at Alexa, whom the stylists helped put on makeup. He
seemed
satisfied.
Alexa felt nervous because she hadn’t attended a ball for a long time.
After the car stopped, Alexa carefully got out of the car with the fishtail of the dress in her
hand. She was so nervous that she didn’t notice Terrence’s outstretched hand.
The high heels Alexa wore were three inches high, so Alexa became cautious in fear that
she would
fall.
Terrence will kill me if I make a fool of myself here. Alexa thought.
Terrence did not push Alexa. He held her hand tightly and slowed down his pace.
Alexa felt uncomfortable in her hand, shot a glance at it, and found a ring on Terrence’s
hand.
That ring was their wedding ring.
Alexa saw Terrence wear that ring for the first time. I thought he had thrown the ring away.
Alexa thought.
Alexa was lost for words when a strange feeling crossed her heart.
There was a commotion not far away when the couple arrived at the doorway.
A group of young men and women surrounded the couple, and the person in the lead was
Ruben.
Ruben ignored Terrence, who was cold, and looked at Alexa with enthusiasm.
“Isn’t this my dear little princess, Alexa!” Ruben teased Alexa as before. Then, he asked,
“Where’s your brother?”
