Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Chapter 20

Alicia was about to refuse while holding her mother's arm. However, she saw Frederick nodding in agreement and answered, "Okay!"

Alicia and her mother were the only ones staying in the 2,000 square feet house. It was clean and tidy. It seemed a little packed when Frederick arrived. There were only one sofa and one table in the living room, which looked a little old. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

"Our house is a little shabby. Please don't mind it. Ally, let Frederick take a seat. I'll serve tea for you guys..." Mrs. Blanchard ordered.

"Alright!" Alicia responded.

In fact, she didn't want Frederick to enter the house, but she didn't want to disobey her mother either.

When she saw that her mother had entered the kitchen, she whispered, "Wait a minute, I'll get you a... cushion!"

Knowing that he was a clean freak and that he might complain, Alicia wanted to find a brand new sheet or cushion to spread over the sofa for him to sit on. In fact, the slipovers of the sofa were brand new as they were just made by Alicia and her mother not too long ago. It was only used for a short time.

As soon as she stepped away, she saw that Frederick had already sat down. She was shocked and froze.

At this time, Mrs. Blanchard had already brought out the teapot.

"I've asked you to serve him. Why are you still standing there? You didn't even serve him a glass of water! Chamomile tea can help you relax and sleep peacefully. You guys often stay up late and

would always be under great pressure from work. Drink some. It's good for your health!" Mrs. Blanchard remarked.

"Mom, it's getting late. Go to sleep! I'll take care of him!"

After all, Frederick was not an ordinary man. Alicia was afraid that he would not give way to her mother and hurt her feelings. Thus, she had always prevented them from having direct interaction.

"Okay, okay, I won't disturb you guys!" Mrs. Blanchard replied.

Although Mrs. Blanchard was dressed casually, she still appeared graceful. Moreover, her smile was warm. She looked very virtuous at first glance, which made people feel pleasant.

Before she turned around, Frederick picked up the teacup and drank it. "Thank you!"

"Drink more if you like it!" Mrs. Blanchard was pleased to hear that.

After giving her daughter a wink, Mrs. Blanchard went back to her room.

Alicia felt a little weak and sat down instantly as if she just had a fight. She didn't expect that Frederick would be so respectful to her mother that he finished the tea.

Regardless of whether he was sincere or just acting, the gratitude in Alicia's heart was surging at this moment.

After seeing Frederick out, Alicia did not say "thank you" this time. Instead, she said very sincerely, "Drive slowly on the road. Be careful! Good night!"

Although he felt that her house was so small that it made him claustrophobic, he didn't know why he actually didn't want to leave.

Seeing that she did not ask him to stay, Frederick added in a low voice, "Pack your things for this week!"

After that, he did not wait for her reply and got in the car in a sulking manner.

She pursed her lips and sighed faintly, thinking, "Alas, sure enough, he's unhappy!"

Alicia cleared up the misunderstanding about the pregnancy with her mother. Unexpectedly, her mother completely accepted this marriage and wanted her to live with Frederick. She even literally raised both her hands in agreement.

So far, Alicia had been able to accept reality. Fortunately, it seemed that it wasn't such a mess at the moment.

After a short period of ups and downs, her life became peaceful gradually. Alicia was also relieved slightly.

One morning, she entered the company with some documents in her hands. As soon as she sorted them out, she heard the buzzing sound from the vibration of her cell phone.

An unknown number?

"Hello, this is Alicia Blanchard from JT Translation Service. May I ask-"

As soon as she reported her name, she heard the engaged tone from the cell phone. She stared at her phone screen, looking at it again and again. What did that mean? Was that call made mistakenly?

Shaking her head, she brushed it off and didn't give it much thought. She got up and went to the tea room.

When she came back, the whole office seemed to be in an uproar.

"Soaver International has managed to secure the Global Garden project? And Frederick Clements has a woman? Are you kidding me?"
