Chapter 488 No Signs of Her

• When Terrance heard the doorbell ring, his natural response was to make his way toward the door. However, he quickly realized it was midnight, which made him wonder who would visit him at that ungodly hour, considering the fact that he lived alone. The thought of that instantly left his face covered with cold sweat. Thus, instead of answering the door right away, he headed straight to the study to check the security footage.
• The moment Terrance saw a figure right outside his door through the surveillance camera, he couldn't help but gulp in fear because the person right at his doorstep was none other than Adrian. Oh gosh! I'm having a heart attack! Why did he come to visit me in the middle of the night? He could have called me instead of paying a visit, couldn't he? The sight of two bodyguards right behind Adrian only added to Terrance's worry as the situation seemed more pressing and complicated than he thought. Ugh! I should have known that I wasn't calm enough when I was talking to them over the phone. They must have seen through my lie because of that. Great! Now, they must be here to demand an answer from me!
• Seemingly impatient, Adrian repeatedly pressed the doorbell, as if he was going to do that until someone opened the door. Meanwhile, the ringing doorbell was starting to worry Terrance more and more as it was already late at night. Upon sitting on the couch with a few moments of hesitation, Terrance finally came up with a cover story for Alaric and Victoria's whereabouts. Then, he went over to open the door after thinking his explanation was sufficient to convince Adrian. When he answered the door, he pretended as if he didn't see Adrian from the security footage and acted like he was surprised to see the latter.
