Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 405

"Hubby, do I look okay? It's not too eye-catching right? I don't want any unnecessary attention!”

Alicia tugged on Frederick's hand and examined herself. It was such a normal, plain dress, so she shouldn't look too glamorous in it! She would just hope for the best!

In his eyes, she looked sweet and delicate in the outfit. She was elegant and dainty. She was so beautiful that he couldn't have his eyes on anything else.

He held her with one arm and was afraid that he would startle her, so he eventually nodded and agreed.

His woman was the center of attention no matter what she wore! It was not hard for her to steal the limelight of the woman on the stage. If Hallie was to be as considerate as her, she wouldn't end up like this now.

His heart ached for her again, and he comforted her by patting her on the back gently.

"Don't worry too much! You are already being respectful by attending their engagement! If you’re not happy there we will just come back earlier! As long as I'm here, nobody can bully you!"

"Okay! You should prepare as well! It should be fine since Grandma will be around too!"

She helped him pick out a tuxedo while she went to pair her outfit with some earrings.

When they went out, Frederick still got her a cardigan. He followed her pace thoughtfully.

The banquet was at a luxurious hotel. There were security guards at the entrance. Alicia's breathing became rapid as she got down the car. Just by looking at the situation, she already knew how grand the event was. She had a weird gut feeling and somehow felt that something bad was about to happen.

Frederick wrapped his arms around her waist and moved her in front of him, "Don't be nervous. It'll be fine!"

As they were talking, Levi came up to welcome them, "Mr. Frederick! The whole place is booked for the banquet today. There is a special passage for the VIPs. Let me show you the way..."

He moved to the side and pointed at a hidden door. Along the way, it was decorated with a red carpet, and fresh flowers were placed at the entrance. The place was lavishly decorated with crystals that shone brightly.

"Okay!" Since someone was leading the way, Frederick walked all the way with Alicia in his

arms.

When they arrived at the prestigious banquet hall, only then did Alicia know that the banquet that night was very grand. The first floor was connected to the outdoor event venue and the indoor area was accessible to the top three halls. The people who were invited were all influential and famous people. They were all dressed up and came from rich, powerful backgrounds.

The melodious sound of the piano resonated in the hall. There were even some celebrities who were invited. Everyone was all dressed up and had heavy makeup on. Some of them had outfits that were very revealing, some had dresses that were slit right up to their thigh, and they were close to being naked. Everyone was colorful and eyecatching.

Letting out a deep breath, Alicia was a little annoyed as well. She pouted and said, 'T ve miscalculated! I wanted to be low-key, but I didn't want them to overpower me! Now, I'm totally overtaken! How pathetic!"

She was indeed not in a favorable position! She miscalculated her strategy this time!

Frederick got a drink for her. He couldn’t help but chuckle, "Lowly people with heavy makeup! You're already taken, so you don't need to do such things!"

He said by her ear lowly, "You look so much better than them when you’re naked!"

She almost spat out her orange juice when she heard him. Her face went red and she raised her hand to hit him in embarrassment.

"Seriously! Aren't you afraid of being overheard?"
