Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 304

All Frederick wanted was for Alicia to have a wonderful life. Even if he weren't around anymore, he would still want her to live happily!

Frederick's truest feeling at this instant was that she would live to the fullest at all times. Of course, he did not say this explicitly. Hence, unbeknownst to him, Alicia's thoughts were contrary to Frederick's from the very beginning.

"Don't be so concerned about what people think! Ally, you're both smart and attractive. People will like you. You'll do well and be recognized by everyone."

Alicia chewed hard as she took a bite of beef in her mouth.

"All you do is put labels on me. You're not letting me go, are you? You don't care if I'm happy or not or how much I've suffered," Alicia grumbled inwardly.

Alicia then passed him some beef and a few shrimps, which weren't her favorites, after sending him an exasperated glare. Knowing that he didn't like rice much, she gave him the rest of the buns.

Frederick was pleased to see the difference in her actions. He then donned his disposable gloves and peeled the prawns before dropping them all on her plate.

The meal was simple, but the two ended up eating a lot.

Frederick's plate had almost emptied, and Alicia had only eaten half of her set meal.

Once the two had finished their meal, Frederick pulled Alicia onto his lap and hugged her. "Did anyone give you a hard time?"

Despite his desire for her to fit in the company and establish roots there, he would eventually worry about her. How could he allow anyone to bully her?

Although Alicia was holding her tongue, she didn't feel bullied. Not to mention the fact that what she was facing was trivial, and she hated backbiting too. Plus, she wouldn't be staying long, therefore there was no way she would make a scene. At once, she shook her head.

Brushing her nose, Frederick rubbed his cheek against hers. "I deliberately came to see you today!"

Knowing she was at the office, he would make an effort to see her whenever he was free and had the chance, to

Having heard that, Alicia's gloomy mood instantly lifted. She couldn't help but beam. Nothing would make her happier than to be remembered by him.

Wrapping her arms around his neck, she rested her body against him. "Hubby, let me hold you for a while and I'll feel better."

Thinking that there would be a stir outside and that she was probably being labeled a vixen, it didn't bother her at all. Instead, she felt that it would be fun to irritate them all. That was what they deserved for defaming her!

Suddenly, she had a surging sense of pride, as if by conquering the man beneath her, she had truly conquered the world. At least, that was how she felt at Soaver International.

Frederick's mood eased a little as he saw a smile finally appearing on Alicia's face.

They lingered in the private room for a long time, enjoying their alone time.

Meanwhile, in the Crouch family, Lindsay was zooming in on the news on her phone with a look of disbelief.

"That background? That painting! Isn't that St. Abbott University?"

She knew right away what the poem meant when she saw the two characters' design styles and clothing. The commercial was clearly a nostalgic and affectionate act!

It was Jeremy!

Was he showing his love to Alicia? A bus stop sign? Did he actually write love notes all over the bus stop sign?

Snapping back to attention, Lindsay immediately dropped the pillow in her hand. She then waved at the boy in the doorway, Benson Crouch.

"Benson, you heard me wrong. I was watching TV and cursing the people on TV. Why would I scold Dad and your mommy? Although your mom and I are always arguing, I care for you. Tell me, what do you want this time?"

Sure enough, Benson was the son of a b*tch. At such a young age, he was already good at making threats. He had blackmailed people to the point where he was used to it!

"I want to buy a toy car! I'm out of pocket money. Five thousand dollars, please."

Lindsay knew that he must be short of money every time he showed up. She then grinned as she opened a drawer and took out a fresh stack of cash bills without saying anything.

"I'll give you double. Do you know what to do?"

"I know! I saved this money on the sly during the week. I didn't hear anything. I'm not close to you either! If Mommy asks, I wouldn't say anything."

Benson wasn't a knucklehead! He knew that if he exposed everything, no one would give him an allowance in the future!

"Well, that's right. If you need money in the future, just tell me. Don't say anything bad about me in front of Mom and Dad! If you do, not only will I not give you money, but I will also tell Mom and Dad that you intentionally pushed the little boy from the next school down the slide. I'll also tell them that you bullied Clark's daughter! If they come to us again, Dad will break your legs and ground you!"

Holding the cash in her hand, Lindsay coaxed and threatened Benson. Did Benson really think that he was the treasure of the Crouch family and that no one could stop him?

"I know. I won't say anything! As long as you give me money and help to keep my secret, I will pretend not to hear anything. I'll shut my mouth by gagging food!"

Reaching out, Benson sounded impatient and tried to grab the wad of money.
