Chapter 187 Live Once Only
The two sat silently for a moment, and a warm voice broke the ice.
“Pasta is ready. Come eat it.”
Lucy placed two large plates of steaming shrimp pasta in front of them and sat at the side, watching
them with a smile.
Brenton eagerly took a bite and immediately praised.
“It tastes the same as before. Lucy, your cooking has always been so good ”
Lucy nodded happily and said warmly.
“Ms. Duran, quickly taste it too. Be careful, it’s hot.”
”
Alexa immediately took a bite of the pasta. Her eyes immediately turned red, and her tears kept
surging.
“What’s wrong? Why are you suddenly crying? Is it not delicious?”
Brenton also became nervous and handed her a handkerchief.
“Don’t cry. Can you tell me what you want to say?”
Alexa tried her best to calm herself down and said emotionally.
“It’s very delicious. I just… suddenly remembered my mother.”
Lucy’s eyes were immediately filled with a touch of deep pity. She got up and hugged Alexa.
“Good girl, I can cook all the dishes your mother made for you.”
“Yes.” Brenton said gently, “Let’s stay here, okay?”
“I will cause trouble for you, and…”
“You are not a trouble to me. If you want to leave, I’ll go with you,” Brenton said seriously.
“You can talk about it later.” Lucy changed the topic naturally. “Let’s eat first. Michael caught a big fish.
We have fish soup to drink tonight.”
“Thank you, Lucy.”
Alexa finally calmed down, and she was temporarily away from the storm in New York.
Terrence almost flipped the entire New York. The news about Alexa became less and less, and he
could not control the anger in his heart more and more.
“Mr. Ramsey, about the acquisition…”
Before Edwin could finish speaking, Terrence suddenly shot a glare at him, scaring him to shut up

“Haven’t found Alexa yet?”
“Mr. Ramsey, not yet…
“Then go to find her!”
“I
Terrence shouted angrily, and the entire Hudson Group was shrouded in darkness.
A group of people left his office with sullen faces, but no one was able to bring news about Alexa.
Terrence gritted his teeth and shouted. He slammed the table and stood up, brutally pushing everything
off the table.
He found that he had become blunt.
Alexa, a woman with no background or power, could actually fool him around.
This woman kept saying in front of him that she had cut off all ties with Brenton, but in the blink of an
eye, Alexa dared to elope with Brenton openly!
Good, amazing!
The hatred in Terrence’s heart was like a poison that was madly breeding, wishing he could cut
Brenton into pieces right now!
Late at night, Edwin finally found some clues.
“Mr. Ramsey, there is a mansion in the area. Brenton is likely to be there.”
The anger on Terrence’s gloomy face deepened. He directly went to the garage and drove to the
mansion personally.
He wondered, Alexa, better wait obediently!
Edwin immediately sent people to monitor the checkpoints nearby and ordered everyone to rush to
the mansion immediately.
It was an hour later when Brenton received the news. It was only a one-and-a-half-hour drive, and
Terrence should be here soon.
He didn’t have time to hesitate and immediately called Alexa, who was in a light sleep.
“Alexa, let’s leave here quickly.”
“What’s wrong?” Alexa immediately sobered up. “Terrence has found here, right?”
“Yes!” Brenton said nervously, “It’ll be too late If we don’t leave now.”
“Let him take me away. I don’t want to be your burden.”
“Alexa, we have no way back. Hurry up and go with me.”
The two caused quite a commotion, waking up Lucy and Michael.
The dogs in the courtyard kept barking, and someone was coming from afar!
“What’s wrong? Are you leaving?” Lucy asked in a panic.
“Lucy, Michael, I will explain it to you someday. Now we must leave quickly!”
The couple immediately understood what Brenton meant, and the atmosphere instantly became
tense.
Lucy immediately locked the door and led the dog to the inner room.
Michael turned on the flashlight and whispered cautiously.
“Come with me and take the shortcut from the back mountain.”
Less than five minutes after Alexa and Brenton left, a sudden and gloomy knock sounded in the dark
night.
“Who is it?”
Lucy opened the door as usual. When she saw the tall figure standing in the middle of the door, her
face immediately turned pale with fright.
Terrence was dressed in a dark gray suit. The cold moonlight shone on him, making him seem even
colder and more terrifying.
“Where is Alexa?”
He went straight to the point and asked coldly. The coldness around him immediately swept over.
Lucy was stunned and asked in confusion.
“Alexa? I don’t know her.”
Terrence slightly curved his lips, and his eyes were cold.
“Maybe you know her.”
Lucy could not help but shiver and back away with a guilty conscience.
Although this man was about the same age as Brendon, he exuded a cold and murderous aura, which
made people fearful.
“Sorry, Madam.”
Edwin reminded her in a business-like manner and immediately led his people in.
Terrence stepped into the house, his sharp eyes searching every inch of the room.

Lucy shouted, but no one listened to her.
Not long after, a group of people nervously rushed out of the main hall. The leader respectfully
presented a flat shoe in front of Terrence.
“Mr. Ramsey, this is Mrs. Ramsey’s shoe.”
Terrence’s eyes instantly became colder, and sharp killing intent filled his body.
“What else do you want to say?”
Hearing this cold question, Lucy was so scared that she could not even raise her head.
“I don’t know.”
Terrence narrowed his eyes dangerously, his hands clenched so tightly that the knuckles turned
pale.
“This place is called the Darrell Mansion. You said you don’t know!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice pierced the stiff atmosphere.
“Mr. Ramsey, there are traces of people at the back mountain.”
“Follow them!”
The team instantly disappeared into the courtyard, leaving not a trace behind.
Lucy sat on the stone bench with lingering fear. A white light came from behind her.
“Gone?” Lucy asked nervously.
“Yes. I’m afraid this is not a small matter. Should we inform Mrs. Darrell?” Michael nodded happily.
Lucy rolled her eyes and frowned.
“Why should we tell her? She’s a crazy woman.”
“But Mr. Michael…”
“Mr. Michael was brought up by me. I have only seen him live like this once.”
Michael sighed deeply, lit a cigarette, and smoked silently.
Not long after, he said worriedly.
“Are they going to keep running?”
At this time, Brenton’s car was galloping on the highway, and music was on.
Alexa didn’t feel sleepy at all as she watched the lights fly past the window.
She whispered, “It’s foggy.”
A smile appeared on Brenton’s face as he replied in a clear voice.
“When the fog disperses, it will be sunny.”
