Chapter 873
She had a great impression of Chet. It didn't make sense for Chet to hook up with Frederick's exgirlfriend behind his back, or do something so shady. Although an ex-girlfriend is in the past, their relationship would be awkward after all. And didn't men typically valued their brotherhood? Wasn't there a saying that goes, brothers are like siblings, women are like clothes?
There was plenty of fish in the sea. What's more, Danica was not really what anyone would consider a good fish.
According to Alicia's judgment, Chet wouldn't ruin his future for such a person! It didn't seem like something he would do.
But just in case, she didn't dare to say that she had just seen him. Instead, she said, "I saw the car when I came back from work, and I thought it was Frederick!"
Chet nodded, no suspicion in his eyes.
"Well, I came out after work, so I drove this car out. Frederick used the other one. He should have gone home already. Frederick had said that he wanted to give these wild sea cucumbers to his father-in-law. Later, he ordered them, but they did not arrive in time. I figured I should buy some first just in case Frederick nags me again. By the way, I have ordered some special herbs that are said to be good for nerve repair and rehabilitation. Your father will receive the delivery in a few days..."
"Okay, sorry to trouble you!"
Feeling warm in her heart, Alicia suddenly felt a little annoyed with herself for suspecting Frederick. She ran through her hair with her fingers and put the gift box into her car. Although she glanced at Chet a few times, she still didn't dare to say what she wanted to.
"It's so late already, sorry to trouble you so much! Thank you..."
"You're welcome Alicia, glad to help! Please let Frederick know that I'll need to use this car for two more days as I have to pick up some important customers. I won't be picking him up tomorrow morning! I've mentioned it to him but please help me remind him again!"
"Well, okay!"
After hearing Chet's words, the doubts in Alicia's heart were greatly dispelled. The two of them exchanged a few more words of idle talk before they parted ways.
As she drove, there was still a sense of unease hovering in her mind. There was something about it...NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
Lost in her thoughts, she entered the house and went upstairs. As soon as she entered the bedroom, she saw a large bouquet of roses on the table. Her eyes lit up and a surprise stopped her in her tracks. Her heart could not help but skipped a beat.
When she returned, she forgot to ask the maids what time Frederick returned home.
She stepped forward and gathered the roses in her arms. For once, she was having mixed feelings. Did he give her flowers out of a guilty conscience?
Smelling the rose, she shook her head. "What am I thinking?"
Footsteps sounded behind her so she turned around. Alicia threw herself at the man. "Hubby!"
Hugging him tightly, Alicia pressed herself against him.
Understanding her emotions, Frederick also couldn't help but hug her back. Although his face was calm, his heart was enveloped with mixed feelings. "What's wrong? Where have you been all night? Are you afraid that I will scold you?"
Frederick gently pinched her nose.
"There's no use acting coquettishly. I'll still scold you! It's not safe for a girl to stay out late at night. You have to return before 10 o'clock! You always have to let me know in advance if you're out late."
Living a somewhat normal lifestyle, he didn't like involving bodyguards and maids. But after the past incidents, he had secretly arranged for bodyguards to protect her.
Unexpectedly, he still couldn't ne
Danica. In any case, he still had people to keeping track of her in case of any emergency. However, they had strict orders not to interfere with her life.
He wanted her to have her freedom.
As for his agreement with Danica, it was all a facade.
Didn't she want a dream? He would give her just that. Holding on to this point, she would have no reason to refuse. Yet she was smart enough to make both of them compromise. He just hoped he never regrets this compromise in the end!
Frederick caressed Alicia's nervous face, then smiled faintly. For her to live a good life, his sufferings would be worth it.
If everything went well, Alicia would never find out. And things would go back to normal after 6 months.
Of course, he would not be complacent. Since he had accepted this agreement, he was prepared for the worst. He only hoped to minimize the damage she may face.
Hearing his concerned whispers, she glanced at the roses out of the corner of her eye. Alicia immediately burst into tears. Hugging Frederick tightly, she felt so vulnerable that she couldn't stop crying.
"Hubby, I'll be obedient and a good wife in the future! I won't be so stubborn anymore. You won't abandon me, will you? I can't live without you..."
It had been a long time since she had felt such fear and uncertainty towards a man. Thinking that she might lose him in the future, Alicia could not help but choked on her tears in his embrace.
His emotions already taut, Frederick felt even more heartbroken at the sight. He held her tightly. And the promises that were about to come out of his mouth were lodged in his throat.
Leading her, Frederick sat and place her on his lap. He reached out to wipe away the tears from her eyes, "Why are you crying? I'm here, right?" Holding her face, Frederick lowered his head gave her a few loving kisses. "Ally, you have to remember, no matter what happens, the person I love will always be you!"
Regardless of whether they were together or not, that was something that would never be changed!
He loved her!
However, the moment he lost her, it was as if his whole world was collapsed! At that moment, he was really living death. He had to find her shadow in different women, just to survive.
If it wasn't for his grandmother at that time, he might have already died!
In the past, he had never believed in love. Right now he gave it his all.
His rough fingers were rubbing away her tears then caressed her forehead. "No matter what happens, don't ever doubt my love for you, okay?"
Grabbing her tiny hand, he placed it on his lips Then he leaned down to kiss her lips. The kiss was filled with sincerity and promises.
"Use your heart to feel my love and sincerity. I believe that you can feel it!" You will understand how much I love you, and understand why I'm doing this...
But I hope, in the next six months, you wouldn't be too observant! Frederick silently prayed.
"Okay!"
Trying to stop crying, Alicia hooked her arms around his neck tightly. "Hubby, promise that you will never leave me?"
