Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 402

Even if she was not injured or hurt, she indeed experienced a major shock. Alicia didn’t want to forgive him, so she looked down and pouted while she gave out an unhappy snort.

He seldom talked on normal days; in fact he never actually said anything. However, at this moment, she was speechless at his explanation. He was, after all, a very eloquent speaker.

Only when he made her angry would he say nice things to her. He was not like that usually!

She did not say anything because she still had some stuffy emotions in her heart.

Seeing that she was no longer as agitated and impulsive as she was earlier, Frederick also knew that he went too far. He pinched her cheek lovingly and said nothing more.

After cleaning up, he carried her to the bed. It was already midnight after everything was settled.

Alicia felt tired and she didn’t make a fuss anymore. However, for the first time, she had her back against Frederick when she laid down. Her long eyelashes fluttered, but she had no emotions as she was still in shock.

Frederick's heart ached and when he laid down, he pulled her close into his embrace. This time, he said nothing more. In fact, he didn't know what to say besides apologizing.

He didn’t realize that he was so close to her. The strength exerted from his embrace was strong. It was as if he was afraid that there would be a distance between the both of them.

Slowly, the both of them fell asleep as they were tired.

The next morning, he heard some commotion and got up. When he opened his eyes, he saw her squirming around mumbling something,

"No, don’t!"

"You've lost... You've lost!"

"What should I do? What... should I do? Don’t... Don’t gamble!"

The word 'gamble' shocked Frederick in an instant. He grabbed her wrist, and only then did she stop squirming. Her eyebrows were still knitted in shock and her body was curled up. She hugged herself tightly.

This was the first time he saw her sleeping with such vigilance. It was very different from her usual carefree position, where she would even take over the whole bed. Frederick felt his heart ache once again.

He really scared her this time!

Exactly how scared was she that she would even have nightmares?

Slowly, he carefully pressed down her limbs that were in a defensive position. Frederick kissed her forehead and said, "It's okay now. I won't gamble anymore. No more! You are my sweetheart, I won't do..."

"I won't do such a thing to you, ever again in the future!"

He carefully held her in his arms. He felt a surge of emotion in his heart. Somehow, it was as if she heard his voice, or perhaps she felt his warmth, but Alicia found a comfortable position and snuggled in. Then, she stopped squirming and slept soundly.

Although Frederick heard her steady breathing, he could no longer fall asleep anymore. However, the feeling of her soft and warm body in his embrace was still quite a pleasant feeling.

Because of this matter, Alicia did not treat Frederick nicely for the next few days.

That day, after a hectic day of dealing with the errands in the office, her colleague brought a courier package for her, "Alicia, your package! It says here that you need to collect it yourself! Is it something expensive?"
