Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 294

On the other hand, Alicia, who had been holding a cocktail the whole time, was lost in her thoughts. Jeremy and her sweet and painful past were like the high and low strings of a lute, inadvertently tugging at her heart.

Rushing forward, Frederick snatched the glass out of her hand. "Don't be greedy. You'll get drunk!"

Coming back to her senses, Alicia's field of vision was full of him. "Hubby, what are you doing out here? Are you done talking? Did I slip away for too long?"

Giggling, Alicia subconsciously tried to look at her phone to check the time.

Stroking her hair lovingly, Frederick consciously blocked her view. He said softly, "It's getting late. It's time for us to go home!"

Instead of staying here and worrying, they should go home and do something more meaningful.

"Okay!"

In fact, he filled Alicia's entire thoughts as soon as he came over. Meanwhile, the scene on the stage had long since faded out of sight, getting out of mind. Organizing her bag, Alicia was just about to get down from the high chair when Frederick scooped her up. Grabbing his clothes, Alicia couldn't help but sigh.

"Ouch, my legs are numb. Take it easy! Maybe I've been sitting too long..."

Easing up, Alicia subconsciously held on to Frederick. With a slight lift of his hand, Frederick put her back on the chair and then gave her calf a squeeze.

"Is it here?"

"Mmm!" Bending over and giving it a firm tap as well, Alicia turned her ankle. At the same time, the silver anklet on her foot jingled.

When Frederick was considerably close to her, Alicia said with a twinkle in her eyes, "It seems to be... better!"

"Well, let's go then."

Taking her hand, Frederick was just about to turn around when Alicia yanked him back. "Hubby..."

Why didn't he carry her down?

As Alicia batted her eyelashes, she deliberately kicked through the air. Hadn't he just carried her down?

Glancing over, he was surprised to see her hand raised as she pouted. However, with one glance, he knew what she meant. In fact, Frederick carried her earlier on without thinking much. At that moment, he felt inexplicably delighted. Then, he reached out and carried her down again.

"Lazy!"

As soon as her feet hit the ground, Alicia wrapped her arms around his waist. "Hubby, are we leaving now?"

With his seemingly indulgent pampering of her which was possibly influenced by the performance on the stage, Alicia began to wonder if she could use this window of opportunity. Maybe then, she wouldn't have to report to Soaver International!

As her gestures became slightly more intimate, she became more chatty. "Should we go back and say goodbye? Would it be bad to leave now?"

They should inform the rest before leaving. But when Frederick thought of Danica, he had no intention of letting Alicia go back there. Just as he was about to say something, he looked up and saw Danica coming out with the others.

He said, "It's alright. They're gone."

Just then, Jeremy, who was on the stage, saw the scene. The last note of his song fell into a

crunching silence.

Jeremy was dumbfounded for a moment, while the few people who came out had actually heard him sing a little halfway through.
