Alora didn't want to see Ryan. But truth be told, Ryan had even less interest in seeing her. Ryan gave her a disdainful glance, not even bothering to say a word. "I asked you a question!" Alora glared at him. Ryan remained silent, completely ignoring her. Alora clenched her fists. This piece of trash! He'd dared to humiliate her at the hotel earlier, and now, standing at the Currans's doorstep, he still had the nerve to put on airs? Did he really think she was someone to mess with? Hmph!She would go straight to Terry and complain! "Ter!" The rear window of the Maybach slowly rolled down, revealing a man's impeccably handsome face. In the dim evening light, his features seemed even colder, sharper. Alora felt an overwhelming aura pressing down on her, and when she looked up, her eyes landed on Terry. Instantly, her face lit up with joy. "Ter!" she exclaimed, ready to rush toward the car. But just as she moved, an arm blocked her path. Feeling aggrieved, she turned her gaze to Terry. "Ter, look at how he's bullying me!"Ryan rolled his eyes internally, barely holding back his disgust. The exaggerated expression on her face was so nauseating he felt thankful he hadn't eaten dinner yet—otherwise, he might've thrown up on the spot. Terry's cold gaze landed on Alora, devoid of any warmth. Under his stare, she felt like prey caught in the sight of a predator. Her scalp tingled, her entire body stiffened, and she couldn't move an inch. Her lips parted as if to call out 'Ter' again, but no sound came out. His eyes were just too intimidating. She feared him. Yet, despite her fear, she loved him even more. This man had been a formidable figure since he was just 16, taking on the immense responsibilities of the Wilsons. He was a wolf, a beast—terrifying yet awe-inspiring. Standing behind Alora, the housekeeper felt the chill in the air, wishing she could flee immediately. She cautiously spoke up, breaking the suffocating silence. "Mr. Wilson, Mr. Leon, and Mrs. Rebecca await you inside." "Thank you," Ryan replied politely. He walked back to the Maybach, opened the door for Terry, and stepped aside. The man's custom-made leather shoes hit the pavement with a subtle sound, and his tailored black trousers shimmered slightly under the car lights, exuding understated luxury. As he stepped out, tall and imposing, he effortlessly commanded the space around him.Alora couldn't help but be captivated by his presence, gathering her courage to take a step forward. "Ter—" "Ms. Alora!" Ryan interrupted, frowning as he blocked her. "I believe I made myself very clear this morning." Alora bit her lip, and her frustration is evident. With Terry present, she dared not lash out at Ryan, no matter how angry she was. Even a dog deserved respect if it belonged to someone important, and she couldn't afford to embarrass Terry. Grinding her teeth silently, she held herself back and followed them into the house. Leon and Rebecca stood at the hall entrance, waiting for Terry. When they saw him approach, smiles spread across their faces."Terry, come in quickly," they greeted warmly. To them, Terry was the ideal future son-in-law—someone they had watched grow up. He was perfect in every way: appearance, ability, family background, and education. He was a perfect match for Elaine, a union that seemed destined by the heavens. But Elaine didn't like him. And as parents, they respected their daughter's feelings above all else. "Leon, Rebecca," Terry greeted politely. Rebecca had been close friends with Terry's mother, and Leon had shared a long-standing friendship with Terry's father. Both families had been thrilled about this engagement. "Come, Terry, have a seat. What would you like to drink?" Rebecca asked warmly. Terry sat down and glanced at the tea in Leon's cup. "The same as Leon is fine."Leon patted Terry's shoulder and sighed. Ah, what a pity. Even Terry's taste in tea was perfectly aligned with his. If only he and Elaine could work it out. How wonderful that would be. Rebecca instructed the housekeeper to prepare the tea. Alora, meanwhile, sat down beside Rebecca, her gaze occasionally flicking toward Terry. Leon looked at Terry and asked, "Terry, is there something you need tonight?"
