Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 696

Victoria took a kebab with veggies as her tiny nose wrinkled. Why was the fragrance gone? Was it her illusion? Was it not from him?

Victoria sniffed even harder and was confused. She just replied in a daze, "Yeah..."

She then bit her lip as her heart was still filled with doubt.

He also took a bite as well. As he put down the plate, he turned his head and obviously yawned tiredly. He then got himself a cup of iced coffee to refresh himself.

No matter how hard she tried to ignore it, Victoria eventually still noticed that. Just as she was about to say something, Alicia walked over with Frederick as they were joking around. "Vicki..." She said.

As soon as she approached, Alicia seemed to be suddenly pricked by something as her sensitive nose itched. She quickly turned around and covered her mouth and nose. "Achoo!" Alicia sneezed.

"What's wrong? Are you cold?" Frederick asked.

Frederick took a piece of tissue and gave it to her. He then helped her tie up the wool coat on her

body.

At that moment, Victoria suddenly realized something. When Alicia had previously rushed up, she probably also smelled the pungent scent on Trevor!

That was because she clearly noticed that Alicia glanced at him right before she turned around. After all, she used to practice perfumery and was definitely more sensitive to these smells when compared to Victoria.

However, Alicia came back to her senses in just a split second. She rubbed her nose and then shook her head. "I'm fine! The smell of pepper is too strong!" Alicia explained.

As she spoke, she pointed to the grill pan at one side and changed the topic.

Men were more careless after all. They weren't used to paying attention to these details. As such, both of them didn't take it seriously. Alicia then said while holding onto Victoria's hand.

"Grandma has prepared New Year gifts for us!" Alicia exclaimed.

She then looked at Trevor again and said, "I'll borrow her for a while!"

Trevor nodded and said with a smile, "Go ahead! Watch your step!"

Upon giving Fredrick a quick nod, Alicia left with

Victoria with her arm wrapped around her s.

They didn't choose anything too valuable. Due to the circumstances, both of them chose a simple set of jewelry. Only then did they excuse themselves after thanking grandma and chatting for a while. At that moment, it was Victoria who was holding Alicia's arm.

"You smelled it too, didn't you?" Victoria asked.

Her steps suddenly stopped as she forced a smile. For a brief moment, she didn't know if she should nod or deny it!

"Do we need to keep secrets between us? I'm not that weak! I was wondering if I should ask you to come over and help me identify it. Now that you've smelled it too, just tell me! You know me. I'd rather die knowing the truth than being deceived!" Victoria demanded.

Alicia spoke after a slight hesitation.

"It seems to be the scent of oakmoss. It has the smell of moss, lady banks' rose, and a slight phenolic yet leathery scent. Many perfumes used them as fixative! Perhaps I'm more sensitive to this kind of pungent smell. I don't know if the scent of leather is heavier or was stimulated after it's being sprayed on his body. I think it might be Chanel number nineteen. However, there are still some differences. I'm not exactly sure but there should be roses in it as well!" Alicia said.

Alicia said as she held Victoria's hand.

"Given their status, it's inevitable for them to play along. They'll easily get stained with the perfume for just a simple dance! Now I hate this nose of mine! If he really did something bad, he wouldn't have returned like this! Men are careless at times. Frederick used to be like that and I argued a lot with him about it! Now I am more restrained about it. Let's think about it. Maybe the things cared for by men and women are really different! Men care about power and wealth but we care about the one that's in front of us. Our vision is too narrow compared to theirs! Vicki, no matter what, I believe that you'll handle it well and still be happy!" Alicia exclaimed.

"That's right..." Victoria thought to herself.

As she nodded, Victoria raised her hand and pinched her cheek. "Ally, you're so experienced now! You're full of tricks..." Victoria said.
