Chapter 61: Chapter 61

"If Ray doesn't explain it, I believe that he and Fillo are father and son."

Alexa sneered inwardly, 'Yeah, you guessed accurately, bruh!'

Of course! Anyone would think the same thing that they must be related. If there was a coincidence in this world, to deny that they didn't have a relationship would be absolutely impossible. Even Maggy thought they were father and son.

Alexa glanced at Fillo who didn't say much, but his bright eyes explained everything. She immediately closed the photo album and gave it to Maggy.

"Yeah, pretty similar. But I think there's something a little different, not exactly the same."

At first Maggy felt strange about Alexa's reaction but she didn't think anything of it. "You're right. Their facial shapes are different. Your son is very calm and well behaved. Little Ray used to be naughty and often fell in the past. He made a lot of scars on his legs."

She laughed loudly as if remembering a past incident.

But for Alexa it wasn't funny at all.

"I wanna see it again, Mom." Fillo raised his two small hands to reach the photo album. "That's Daddy! That's Daddy!"

Alexa caught his small hand and pushed him down. "No, Fillo. You've had your fill of it, okay?"

Fillo immediately shut up and nodded.

Seeing this, Maggy couldn't do much. The awkwardness was saved by the housemaid who brought the main course of today's breakfast. "Well, eat first. You can look at the photos again sometime."

Fillo nodded languidly. "May I see it with Daddy?"

"No!" Alexa answered firmly. "It's just a photo! Why do you have to look at it? I'll give you lots of photos in the future."

Maggy was surprised that Alexa suddenly raised her voice. But she really couldn't interfere. She glanced at Fillo with a concerned look, seeing that such a small boy was sad but trying hard to hold back his own tears.

Fillo was really a strong kid.

Suddenly Alexa looked at Maggy and her gaze changed for an instant, she said, "Maggy ... please tell Ray that I will return to my house today."

That evening, Ray deliberately came home very late.

It wasn't that he was deliberately avoiding Alexa, but he was embarrassed because he could barely control his lust and almost attacked her back. They probably would have done it that second in the living room, if he hadn't restrained himself.

He loved her so much, he wanted to touch every part of her body. But, he didn't want to tarnish her without the ties of marriage.

While he was thinking that, Maggy approached him worriedly. "Mrs. Greisy is left."

He was surprised. "Left? What do you mean left?"

"She said she was going back to her house. She seemed to be in rush and left after breakfast."

"Did she bring Fillo along?"

Maggy nodded. "All her things have been taken. There's almost nothing left in the room."

Ray ran upstairs and entered the room Alexa was in before. Maggy followed him.

There really wasn't much left.

Since she was staying at this villa, Alexa didn't bring many things. Some of the clothes she has been wearing all this time were gifts from Ray. Even though she often refused the gifts, she couldn't do anything when the clothes had been bought without her wishes.

As a result, when she left, she didn't take everything with her.

Ray panicked and immediately called Adam. "Come back, take me to Alexa's house right now. Hurry."

Why was everything so messed up?

"Are you leaving this late?" Maggy asked worriedly, Ray looked exhausted and it was past midnight. A person's energy cannot last if they are too exhausted.

Ray glanced at the clock and it was already two in the morning. He cursed. Call Adam again. "Adam, there's no need to come back. Just be ready in the morning."

If Adam was good at expressing himself, he would have scolded Ray very angrily. But that was why Ray kept him, because he was his most obedient driver until death.

Finally, when the next day arrived, Ray took a shower very early and rushed to call Adam. He skipped breakfast and even ignored Maggy.

Throughout the journey, he couldn't stay calm. Thinking that Alexa must have misunderstood because of his attitude last night. He wasn't angry at all, even admitted that she had misunderstood. Remembering what happened that time, somehow he was so embarrassed, he covered his mouth and hid the burning feeling on his cheeks. The part where she pulled his pants down, that was a very sexy part of her.

Shit!

Of course, it's normal for healthy men to want sex. He wasn't impotent. He was also a healthy man, okay?

But didn't Alexa understand that Ray was taking good care of her?

Too many things to think about, the car arrived at Alexa's yard. This simple house was still as before. Not much has changed except for some grass and plants which still seem to be tall. Ray immediately came down and knocked on the door.

***

Ping!

The phone on her bedside vibrated with an incoming message. Let alone opening it, Alexa didn't even glance at it at all. Since last night, her phone has been full of messages and phone calls from Ray.

Now what? After acting angry and evasive, that man wanted to persuade her?

Her mood was not good.

She didn't want to be persuaded!

The phone's dim light came on, before finally dimming and making total darkness in the room. There was not a speck of light even from the closed windows. The room was quiet, she sat on the bed with her legs curled up, staring at the blurry ceiling, sighing heavily.

Look at yourself, a cynical and flat voice rose in her heart and said, look, a poor woman who mocks someone is a bastard, but you yourself do such a shameful thing. Aren't you both bastards?

—A long time ago, she often watched films with strong women as the main characters. Seeing how easily women made men bend their knees, she realized that women must have hidden powers that no man could underestimate.

She thought, she could also take revenge easily, as easily as turning the palm of her hand. But when she did, it turned out she couldn't.

Because of her hesitation, she was entangled by Ray Sanders for too long, which unknowingly gave rise to a strange feeling that came without shame. When those feelings were denied, it felt like she were pulling out a tough sprout from the flesh, it hurts so much.

She didn't know if she could still think about revenge. She just wanted to disappear from the earth.

Just when she was thinking that, a knock on the door came from the front door, there was a voice from behind the door, "Alexa? Open the door! Please."

Alexa was shocked, it was Ray's voice!

"Open the door, Lexa!" The door was knocked several times. "It's me!"

Why was he here? Wasn't he angry?

Alexa got out of bed, tidied up her messy hair, not knowing why she did it. But when she came to her senses, she ruffled her hair again.

The door panel rattled as the knocking at the front grew more impatient. "Lexa, please answer me! Are you okay?"

Her chest rose and fell, momentarily looking at the door as if there was some bad luck that she should not touch. She backed away and hit the sofa.

"Lexa, I know you're in there!" Ray's voice was full of pressure. "The dust in front of your door has been swept away, the clothes you were drying behind, can be seen from here."

'Shit! Really couldn't fool you, could I, Mr. Sanders?' She grumbled. 'Okay, I'll open the door and I'll shower you with my heavenly tirade!'

But as soon as she opened the door, just by looking at his worried face, her words swallowed back into her throat. Her body went stiff when she was pulled into a tight hug the next second. The hand holding her was cold, but the chest touching her cheek felt warm.

She felt the warm breath around her and his voice sounded heavy in her ears,

"Alexa, we need to talk."
