Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 55

Although he did not know the specific reason, Frederick understood that everything which happened to her earlier on was because of him. At this moment, he felt sorry and was determined to protect her.

No matter how sincere he was to the woman in his arms, there was one thing that he was absolutely sure of- Alicia was his woman! Except for him, no one could touch her!

Alicia was confused.

She didn't understand what he meant.

Even after the banquet had ended, she still didn't understand what was going on.

However, when she went back to the room and finished showering, she noticed a tragic problem. Her foot was so painful that she couldn't feel it anymore.

"Your foot is really swollen. Why didn't you tell me? Do you want to be disabled?" Frederick said.

Seeing her red and swollen ankle, Frederick took out the ointment with a gloomy face. He was a little unhappy, but her movement was careful when he lifted her leg. Although it still hurt, she swallowed back the anger that initially arose in her.

She suddenly felt that he seemed to care about her!

"Ouch! Oh, it hurts so much..."

"Don't move. It will only work if I rub it in!" Frederick insisted. Looking at him holding her delicate foot with his warm big hands, Alicia never thought that he would do such a thing for her.

It was not until a sharp pain hit her that she could not help but gasp again.

"So fussy! It's just a little painful!" Frederick said.

This time, Alicia was not angry. She answered pitifully, "I'm a patient!"

"Then, you'd better be obedient and take an early rest!" His voice finally calmed down.

His voice finally calmed down. Frederick got up and went to wash his hands. When he came out, he saw that she was still sitting on the bed in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Frederick asked.

"Nothing!" she replied. Shaking her head, Alicia turned around and climbed onto the bed.

In fact, there were some matters that she couldn't wrap her head around. She couldn't figure out why he suddenly got angry after eating the ravioli and swept it to the ground, or why Hallie did those things to her. It was bugging her. She wanted to ask but she didn't dare to do so.

Alicia was uncertain about this marriage, or Frederick, or even their future. In fact, she didn't have too many expectations.

The reason she was silent regarding these matters was not that she was dreaming of a fortune. It was because she also needed this marriage to give her parents peace of mind. At this point, the two of them shared the same goal!

Therefore, this was her decision and choice. Even if

she was wronged, she was willing to bear with it.

Looking at her actions, Frederick gnashed his teeth in disgust.

As for Alicia, it was not a big deal at all. She pulled the quilt, found a comfortable position, and gave him a silly smile.

In the end, Frederick didn't say anything. He lifted the quilt gracefully and got into bed.

A habit was really a terrible thing. He didn't like any movement or sound beside him when he was sleeping. However, when she lay away from him, he felt it was hard for him to fall asleep.

Moving closer to her, Frederick naturally embraced her in his arms. "Do you want to fulfill your promise now or do you want to put it on your tab?"

Looking up, Alicia did not respond for a moment. "Huh?"

"Do you want to go back on your promise?" Frederick murmured.

"Ah! No, no!"

Frederick casually made a move. As expected, he lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. The bed made creaking sounds as they moved.

In addition to the occasional moans from Alicia, there was a faint trace of ambiguous sound that could be heard from the corridor, which made people's imagination run wild. It made all the people who passed by lower their heads and quicken their steps.

Hallie walked into her mother's room with milk in her hands. Her mother had changed into her pajamas, but she was still pacing back and forth. "Mom-".

Hallie turned around and locked the door of the room as she called out to her mother.

Before the banquet was over, she saw her father leaving the place. She couldn't sleep because she had something on her mind. Therefore, she came over to talk to her mother and brought a glass of milk as an excuse.

"Halley, it's you! Why aren't you sleeping at such a late hour?"

"It's so loud. I wonder who can sleep now?" Hallie said.

In fact, she didn't hear anything at first, but when she went downstairs to get some milk, she overheard the servants on duty talking among themselves. Then, she couldn't help but pay attention to the noise when she headed upstairs. In addition to that, she got so angry when she thought of Brian who was dismissive of her but praised Alicia!

How could that b*tch be compared with her?

"Mom, look at the two of them! Grandma and Dad are biased towards them. Because of him, the Three Great Masters didn't even care about me. Once he came back, we had to endure him. I can't even go after Willy. Now that I've laid eyes on another man, his wife had to come and steal my spotlight. Even Brian was obviously absent- minded..." Hallie complained.

It was rare for Caroline to have something else to attend to and to have missed the banquet. However, someone was around to steal her spotlight again. It was really annoying!

She gritted her teeth, and Hallie's beautiful face was twisted.

"If they really give birth to a baby boy, well lose our position here. What should we do then?" Hallie asked.

Hallie's question seemed casual and unintentional, but in fact, it was something worth worrying about!
