Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 126

"Frederick? Why did he come here?"

Her heart was beating wildly as if it was about to jump out from her chest. She instinctively turned her body sideways.

At this time, Frederick, who had been answering the phone at the door all this while, came into the hall. He glanced at the stage for a split second without paying attention. Before he noticed anything, he lowered his head and focused on his phone again.

He pressed the send button. As soon as he looked up, Carson came over in a hurry and greeted, "Frederick, you're here too!"

Carson placed his arm on his shoulder and glanced at the stage, "Are you here to-" He wanted to ask whether Frederick was there to support Alicia.

However, before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the host's loud voice on the stage. "Last three minutes! The countdown starts now! Any man who hasn't voted yet, please hurry up!"

At this time, Frederick lowered his head while replying to a message. He continued to walk and said absent-mindedly.

"Wait a moment! I have to vote for Hannah now!"

"Huh?"

It was obvious that Carson was dumbstruck for a split second. Then, he ran up to him while thinking,

"Hannah is back? Why didn't I notice that?"

He wanted to ask Frederick whether he was really not planning to vote for Alicia, but they had already walked to the stage. As it was a one-way road, Carson had no choice but to swallow the words he was going to say.

Alicia was the fifth contestant and she stood at the innermost side. She deliberately avoided him and turned her face to the other side. Just as she was getting anxious, a deep male voice could be heard.

"Why? Is my ticket not welcomed?"

When she turned around, she saw a handsome young man. Alicia quickly smiled and replied, "Thank you for your support!"

As soon as she reached out to take the voting stick, her hand was suddenly grabbed by him. In an instant, her expression fell.

"What are you doing?"

"Don't panic! I just want to talk to you for a while. I'm sure you don't want everyone to hear it!"

What did he mean? Did he want her to get closer?

Alicia frowned and still forcefully withdrew her hand. She was a little irritated. When she was thinking about whether to slap him in the face, the man asked her a question out of the blue.

"Don't you remember me?"

Looking up, Alicia was flustered for two seconds and thought, "Do we know each other?'¹

When their eyes met, the man gave her a deep meaningful smile. "I'll wait for you below the stage. I am Marshall Clark!"

Alicia was still in a trance but the man had already let go of her hand.

"Marshall Clark? Who is that?"

After searching around in her mind, she couldn't remember dealing with someone with this name or this face. Finally, Alicia came to a conclusion.

He must've been a lunatic!

While she was getting annoyed, an enthusiastic female voice was heard, "Thank you, my dear!"

Contestant number three?

"Someone voted for the third contestant?"

Subconsciously, Alicia tilted her head to take a look. Instantly, a chill went straight down her spine. "Frederick?"
