Chapter 290 Develop Intimacy After Getting Married
Keyon nodded thoughtfully, stirring the sugar cubes in his coffee cup casually.
"Keyon, what are you thinking?" Alexa asked directly.
But Keyon kept silent for a long time.
"I just can't forgive Terrence."
"You know I'm not talking about him." Alexa asked persistently, "What happened between you and Giselle? How
did you get involved with the Niebergall family?"
The Niebergall family was not an ordinary rich family. It did regular business, but it was also related to gangs.
This was also why many families dared not provoke them.
The Duran Group was having a transition of power. The elders in the family had been complaining about Alexa and
Keyon.
Now that Keyon suddenly got involved in Giselle's matters, if people found something and made a fuss, it would
definitely cause a lot of trouble.
"Alexa, do you trust me?"
The atmosphere was a little tense. Alexa looked into Keyon's eyes. For the first time, she found that she couldn't
see through him.
"Keyon, why don't you tell me?"
"This matter is very risky. I don't want to implicate you." Keyon's tone was firm. "Just leave everything to me."
"Although the Duran family needs to transform, it doesn't need you to do this."
"Everything is for the family. Alexa, as the eldest son, I must make the necessary sacrifices."
After a long time, Alexa sighed resignedly.
"Then what do you plan to do?"
Keyon replied, "I'll get married for business."
In fact, Alexa already expected this answer. But when Keyon personally said it, she still found it somewhat difficult
to accept.
"Alexa, for people like us, marriage is not just about love."
Alexa looked at him. "But if there is not even love..."
Keyon avoided her gaze uneasily.
"Intimacy can be cultivated, just like you and Kieran."
Keyon brought up this topic again, but somehow, Alexa didn't want
to talk about it.
"In fact, he likes someone else. And..."
Keyon said, "It doesn't matter."
Hearing Keyon's quick reply, Alexa was instantly stunned.

"What?"
"It doesn't matter," Keyon repeated. "No matter who she is, she can't compare to you, Ms. Duran."
Alexa nodded stiffly. She didn't know how she left the café in the end.
By the time Alexa came back to her senses, she was already back in the ward.
Damarion was lying alone on the bed. His breathing had gradually become steady. And it seemed that
he was having a sound sleep.
Someone showed up beside Alexa. She smelt the scent of wood. Then a warm blanket was placed on
her.
"It's late at night. It's very cold outside, isn't it?" As Terrence
spoke, he held Alexa's hands. "Your hands are indeed very cold. I have asked the chef to prepare the
vegetable soup. Have some before sleeping?"
After saying that, Terrence filled a bowl with soup and then handed it to Alexa.
"I'm fine. Thank you." Alexa shook her head wearily. "I have no
appetite. I don't want to drink it."
Terrence said, "You haven't eaten much today."
He lowered his voice, scooped a small spoonful of soup, and put it
beside her mouth.
"Come on. Open your mouth."
Alexa reluctantly took a small sip. The soup was indeed very
delicious.
Terrence fed her half a bowl, and Alexa suddenly remembered
something.
"You didn't eat much today either, did you?"
As Alexa remembered, Terrence had been busy today.
"I am not hungry." Terrence chuckled. "When you are full, I will eat
what you have left."
Alexa said, "Sorry. I have troubled you again."
"You are not troublesome."
Alexa said, "The relationships between the family members are
very chaotic, so we need some time to deal with it."
"OK. I understand."
Every famous family had a secret. The Ramsey family had one, and
so did the Duran family.
"If you feel tired, let me deal with it."
It sounded casual, but Terrence meant it.
He could spare no effort to solve all her troubles as long as Alexa let
him help.
While the two were talking, Alexa's phone on the table suddenly lit
up.
Terrence saw the message sent by Keyon clearly.
Keyon: "Dr. Powell is a very good person. Don't let him down."
The few words were dazzling.
Alexa didn't reply to it, but Terrence couldn't pretend not to care.
"You haven't given up on Kieran?"
Alexa replied, "It's not like what you think."
Alexa wanted to explain, but she didn't know where to start.
"I understand." Terrence chuckled. "I don't want to force you. I'll
listen to you when you want to tell me."
After that, Terrence returned to Damarion's bedside.
The bowl of hot soup just now was very delicious, but Alexa felt
bitter in her heart.
Not long after that, she got news from the company again.
Alexa immediately changed her clothes and prepared to go out.
"I have something to deal with at the company. I'm leaving now."
Terrence said, "It's already so late. Are you sure you need to go
now?"
"Yes," Alexa said hurriedly. "Yareli will come to take care of
Damarion."
Before Terrence could reply, Alexa got out of the ward.
He looked sideways at Damarion, who was sleeping soundly.
Terrence sighed silently.
The night was very long.
The meeting didn't end until the next morning. Then Alexa
returned to the hotel.
She was in the UK, a country on the other side of the ocean. It was
the most beautiful country in the world, but Alexa had no interest
in enjoying the sight.
She just wanted to finish her work quickly and return to

Damarion's side.
Just as Alexa was thinking, she got a message from Yareli.
"Ms. Duran, Mr. Ramsey's fever is gone. The doctor said that he is fine. Don't worry."
Alexa smiled happily. The exhaustion was swept away. And she
stopped frowning.
"OK. Thank you, Yareli."
"Actually, we didn't do much. Mr. Ramsey did everything. He didn't
sleep at all last night."
Terrence?
Alexa was a little absent-minded. Just as she was about to reply, the
doorbell of her room rang.
"Who is it?"
"It's me, Rory Wingerson."
Hearing this familiar name, Alexa immediately came back to her
senses.
She immediately opened the door. A young man was outside.
Rory was dressed in very stylish light tan clothes. There was a
warm smile on his face with sharp facial features. And he was
holding a delicate gift box in his hand.
"Surprise!"
"Rory!" Alexa asked in surprise, "Why are you here? Are you
working here?"
"Yes. There are a few shows here recently. I heard that you came to
the UK, so I rushed over," Rory chattered. "How could you not contact me after you came to the UK?"
Alexa replied, "It's a business trip. I have just finished my work."
"Fine. I was just joking."
As Rory spoke, he stuffed the gift in her hands.
"Are you free now? A few old classmates are also here. Shall we
have a meal together?"
Alexa happened to be free at the moment. And she wanted to get
some fresh air, so she agreed.
"Take my car. There will be the first snow tonight. We must not
miss it."
Alexa followed Rory into the car, but as soon as she sat in the passenger seat, she received a message from
Terrence. Terrence: "Why didn't you answer the phone? You didn't reply on Line either."
