Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 382

Frederick slowly turned around and looked straight at her as he spoke.

"Danica, painting is your hobby and your dream. Produced artwork is the blood and sweat of a painter. Every single painting is like their baby, and it should be treated with care! You said painters are able to express themselves through their work! How did you treat your artwork previously? How about now? Ask yourself honestly, are you living up to your own words? Are you using your painting to express your true feelings? If the answer is no, then you've let me down!"

The color drained from Danica's face, and her head was buzzing. She stumbled twice, and her body started to tremble a little.

Was he referring to the imitated painting?

Her mind was in a mess. She wasn't sure how she was going to explain it to him. However, he changed the subject and asked, "Have you ever wondered how our relationship had gotten to this point?"

Time stood still at that moment. They looked at each other and did not speak for a long time.

After a long while, he heaved a sigh and explained.

"I used to love you. I really loved you, and I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you! When we broke up, I looked for you, waited for you, and wanted to reunite with you. I'd thought we could give it another go... Did you think I've never tried? Do you think the only reason we ended up like this is that I've changed? Have you ever thought about yourself? Are you still the same person I once knew? Danica, when we still cared for each other, I had a clear conscience. I will not deny that what we had was good. However, don't think that I'm the one who has forsaken you. Please don't blame me for going back on the words I said when we were together and said that I've changed. You ought to think about what you've done and what you're currently doing! We are no longer the same people we were back then. Now, no matter how beautiful of a past we had, it's no longer beautiful like it used to be!"

He was slowly overtaken by disappointment knowing that she was no longer the same person he once knew. He was neither happy nor relieved. Sometimes, he was actually afraid that in the end, he would not recognize the love he had for her.

This feeling of complete denial was very terrible!

Frederick intended to remind her to remember her roots. However, in Danica's ears, his words held a completely different meaning. She thought he could not let go of the past, that he could not let go of her leaving without saying goodbye!

This was why their relationship had gotten to this point!

"Frederick...."

"Danica! I've said everything I needed to say! I'll say it again; I don't owe you anything! If you cross my last line, I will not go easy on you! Don't let it go too far or you'll pay for everything you've done!"

After that, he reached out to open the door and left.

As soon as he stepped out, his phone rang. Unconsciously, he walked towards a secluded area. He turned around and realized that Danica did not follow him. Instead, she went back to the room to get her bag. At this time, the door on the other side opened. Kieran checked his surroundings and slowly walked over.

"Okay, got it!"

Frederick answered the phone, then glanced around.

When Kieran heard the familiar sound of high heels outside the door, he calmed down and came out of the room. Then, he dragged her into another room.

"Dad? What are you doing here?"

"I was worried about you, so I'd thought I'd follow you to keep an eye on you! You' re useless! You asked him out for lunch. Are you a fool? It's a waste of time. You may not have the man's heart; you could have at least taken some money from the man! You are really a good-for-nothing! All my efforts of raising you all these years were in vain! Let me tell you, you should not bother him for the next two days and try to come up with an idea! Don't be so petty and stir trouble! In the end, you're only going to cause trouble for yourself! Doesn't he like the other woman? Why can't you think of a way to eliminate her? We might not be able to do anything to Frederick, but I’ m sure we can do something to that woman. That poor woman. She has no power and status, and she's not even from a well-to-do family. I doubt she has seen much of the outside world. What do the two of them have in common? I'm sure he'll get tired of her sooner or later! Danica, you have to keep your cool!"

Kieran gritted his teeth as he thought about it. He was suddenly very determined.

"I will also try to come up with a solution! The key is that you cannot act impulsively. We have to think of a comprehensive plan. You have to get rid of that woman and make it seem like it has nothing to do with us! You have to work hard. I will definitely support you and make sure you marry into the Clements family! We have to think about this carefully."

She was initially quite downcast, but her father's words were like a ray of sunshine shining into her heart in an instant. Danica's heart began to stir again, and she unconsciously consoled herself.

"Dad, you’ re right! I have missed the opportunity once. This time, I won't give up easily! He just couldn’ t forgive me momentarily!"

Yes, Frederick would definitely change his mind as long as that woman disappeared! If Alicia was able to marry into the Clements family, why couldn't she give it a shot as well?

"Look at you, you look haggard. Let's take advantage of this free time to go for a facial. You have to take good care of yourself! We have to plan ahead..."
