Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 207

Danica was the one who had called; she wanted to ask Frederick out to a gathering. Afraid of waking Alicia up, Frederick spoke softly.

"I'm busy today, perhaps another time!"

He thought that he should keep some distance from Danica now that he had made his choice. He had to find a suitable time and made things clear with Danica.

"What are you busy with? Can't you postpone it? It's the weekend. What's the fun of me going alone? It's boring without you. I've already told my friends—"

"Danica!"

He was a little displeased by her insistence. He was about to reply that he was married and it was inconvenient to meet her when he suddenly caught sight of something from the corner of his eye. As he looked back, a slender figure came into his vision. Alicia was standing at the doorway looking at him darkly and almost eerily, her lips curled up as if vaguely smiling.

He was unprepared to see this and could not react for a couple of seconds.

Alicia had wanted to go to the bathroom but she heard some noise and naturally came out to take a look. She did not expect to see this.

She did not give any reaction, not even saying a word. Then, she turned and strolled back into the room. Her footsteps were still like a cat, making no sound at all.

Sh*t! Why did everything happen in a coincidence?

Panicking, Frederick was about to follow her when a voice anxiously sounded from his phone again. "Frederick? What are you doing? Why aren't you talking? Did you hear me?"

"I'm busy! I'm hanging up!"

He put down the phone and hurried back to the room in large strides.

He looked up and saw the pink suitcase back in the middle of the room. Alicia was standing next to the sofa as she held a huge teddy bear in her arms, looking like she was about to pack her luggage.

Frederick's eyebrows snapped together. He stepped forward and blocked her way. Grabbing the teddy bear from her, he said, "Ally, we need to talk!"

Without batting an eyelash, she let go and turned to the desk beside her. Just as she picked up her book, he seized the other side of it. She rolled her eyes at him and let go again while returning to the sofa. This time, he was quicker and took her purse first.

Anger was starting to sizzle in her eyes as she lifted her gaze. What the hell? What did he want? Was he holding her belongings as a hostage? Then, it would do if she left without anything, wouldn't it? Alicia was disgruntled.

Cursing him a million times in her heart, she walked to the closet gloomily. Fortunately, she had left two sets of casual, everyday clothing. Otherwise, he would have thrown all of her perfectly-fine clothes away!

Just as she took a shirt from the hanger, Frederick hugged her around her waist.

"Ally! Don't throw a tantrum! You're a married woman, you have a family. You can't go back to your mother's house every time we quarrel! We need to solve our problems! We need to talk!"

He pushed her buttons at the instant. Alicia threw a punch at him the next second.

"No one's talking to you! Go away! Did you say I'm married? I'm married to the air, to the house, to a pompous b*stard! Frederick Clements! Have you forgotten? I've already signed the divorce agreement! I didn't have any objections and I've given my place. You don't need to make calls in secret ever again! Shouldn't you be happy?"

She was not allowed to go back to her mother's house after they quarrel but he could stay outside without coming home every night? Would anyone know if she even died here? Suddenly, she remembered the last time where she had severe menstrual pain. She called the ambulance instead of him! What difference did it make whether he was around or not?
