Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 292

Raising his glass, Shaun complained.

"Why are you always talking about cooperations and investments? We're here to celebrate; we should eat, drink and be merry! Yet, you guys are constantly talking about hundreds of millions of dollars, ignoring our feelings!"

"Well, why don't you fund hundreds of millions of dollars to Carson as well?"

After the banter, Wyatt suggested, "Let's not just sit around. Why don't we play a game?"

"I'd love to! But, I don't have the transportation nor the money right now. Once I get rich, each of you should leave me some shares. Let me have some fun too!"

After responding, Shaun suggested, "Hey, let's play Truth or Dare. I'm dying to know about Carson's first time."

As soon as he said that, a pillow was thrown over at him.

"Do you think I'm afraid of you? I'd rather know how much you spent on the sneakers your dad restricted you from buying and where you hid them! I'll tell Uncle Jerald everything tomorrow."

"Carson, I don't even know your secret yet, and you're already getting back at me! I'll stop being curious, okay?"

As the two joked around, a few people had a good laugh. Just then, Wyatt took an empty bottle of wine and set it on the table.

Carson suddenly asked, "Frederick, are you going to call... Alicia back?"

Carson said that after much consideration. Since Frederick has announced Alicia's identity, there was no reason for him to be concerned about Danica's feelings anymore.

But after Carson said that, the atmosphere turned slightly chilly. Danica's heart sank abruptly as well.

"It's alright. Let's play first. When she comes back, she can join in."

Subconsciously, Frederick felt relieved. In fact, he didn't really want Alicia to participate in Truth or Dare. It was more than enough that he alone knew her secrets. He couldn't stand the thought of her playing Dare! If someone suggested that she kiss someone else for a few minutes, he'd flip out on the spot!

His woman didn't need to play such a game.

With a spin of the bottle, it surprisingly landed at Trevor. Shaun then asked, "Truth or Dare?"

"Truth."

After a moment of pondering, Shaun asked, "Would you marry Miss Atlas?"

Almost at once, Trevor's answer flung out, "No!"

At that moment, there was a grumbling and clamoring wail.

"What the hell? How can you ask such a simple question?"

"You have no creativity at all! Asking such a question is a waste of opportunity!"

"If you don't know what to ask, we'll do it for you! You should have asked Master Trevor how many women he has slept with, where he first had sex, and what his favorite type is."

With a sympathetic look at Shaun, Frederick couldn't help but smile. "Ahem!"

There were women present, yet they didn't know how to restrain themselves.

Rubbing the back of his head, Shaun looked aggrieved.

"I really wanted to know. Aren't you guys curious at all? Haven't you heard that the two families have already planned several dates for them? I heard that Miss Atlas is very talented and a hot beauty. I wonder if Master Trevor, a flirtatious man, will be taken down by her..."

At the mention of this, Trevor's face turned dark.

"Don't mention that ugly woman! Even if all the women in the world are dead, I wouldn't marry Victoria! Do you believe in hearsay? There are even rumors out there that Frederick is asexual."

On the contrary, Frederick brought his wife to the party and treated her like a treasure.

For a while, the room fell silent. Then Carson handed her a tissue. "Danica, Frederick has made his choice. It's time for you to let go."

With a faint sigh, Trevor chimed in as well.

"You need to stop clinging to the past. Don't wear out his patience. Danica, get on with your life! You should know how he's like and not piss him off. He'll turn his back on you if you go too far."

If Alicia had been there, there would have been more conflict. Even if the result was the same at this point, it would have been different for Frederick if Alicia had been around.

If Danica had thus violated his taboo, there was no guarantee of what he would do to her. Although Frederick didn't want much, what he had was precious, and no one was allowed to touch it.

After all, most people present had known Danica for some time and they tried to comfort her. However, everyone knew clearly in their hearts: what she just did was clearly inappropriate.

Not to mention, when Alicia arrived, Frederick even acknowledged her in public. Danica's public confession was clearly using their previous relationship to pressure him. She probably didn't expect Frederick to end up giving her such an answer.

However, Danica was a woman after all. The men couldn't be bothered with her, let alone in such a situation.

Therefore, the private room was quickly silent...

Walking out of the room, Frederick felt some discomfort. Danica's presence had already upset him, then she had to say such things. At this moment, he was not touched but rather, he felt incredibly annoyed.

As Frederick reached the lobby on the first floor, he instinctively looked toward the bar. Sure enough, his eyes balked, and saw a beautiful, lovely girl sitting at one side with a cocktail. At that, his deep eyes surged with warmth.

As he was about to go over, a familiar male voice suddenly came from the stage.

"My first unforgettable confession and birthday were because of a girl. She said she would sing 'Can't Help Falling In Love With You' for me every year on my birthday..."

"She gave me many unforgettable firsts! She designed my first menswear and gave me my first love mark. She gave me so many wonderful memories that cannot be duplicated nor replaced. Yet, I hurt her deeply."

"To my regrets and my beloved, I would like to sing you a song today. 'Right Here Waiting'. Wherever you go, whatever you do, I will be right here waiting for you. Whatever it takes or how my heart breaks, I will be right here waiting for you..."
