Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 71

Jeremy?

She subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, but halfway through, she suddenly stopped. Instead, she reached out and held on to Frederick's clothes tightly.

Why should she restrain herself in front of Jeremy?

After that, she fixed her gaze on Frederick. However, she did not know that her subconscious action had saved her life.

At this time, the door of the elevator opened. Frederick turned slightly and wrapped his arm around her waist.

Then, the two of them entered the elevator.

The door slowly closed. Only then did he let go of her.

When she returned to her senses, she held his arm and said, "Hubby, it's not that I didn't listen to you. I wasn't trying to make you mad either! Weren't you on a business trip? While I was alone at home, I could not help myself but overthink..."

"I was afraid that I might disturb you. Thus, I came out with Vicki! I thought that I could do something good and get some money too. That was why I went up on stage!" she explained.

She continued, "Hubby, I really did not want to embarrass you, nor did I want to make trouble for you! I know that you are very capable, but 300,000

dollars is not a small amount. Your money did not fall from the sky, did it? You are so hardworking, and you even need to go on business trips. I just wanted to do something charitable, am I not right?"

"Hubby, can you not be angry with me?"

Along the way, she didn't stop talking, but Frederick didn't utter a word either. To be honest, he actually missed her chattering voice very much.

When they left the hotel, Alicia hugged him again. "Hubby, can't you forgive me this one time? Hmm?"

She tugged on his clothes and slightly raised her chin to rub his arms. She looked so well-behaved, so much so that it made him feel pity for her!

Although he was much more at ease, he was still able to see through her thoughts.

"What are you talking about? Were you there to hang out or were you there for the reward? Is the reward that attractive? Are you that short of money?" He glanced at her and said.

According to Chet, her salary was not considered low. Had she said that she did not have enough money to spend in the past, he could understand her. However, ever since last month, he had asked others to send her new clothes, shoes, and hats regularly. He even gave her 30,000 dollars this month. In addition to her salary and bonus, what could she possibly buy to spend all her money on before the end of the month?

"It's indeed not enough!" she said.

At that moment, Alicia had obviously hesitated. She did not know whether she should talk about her father's situation. However, her pride prevented her from wanting other people to sympathize with her. Moreover, she did not want him to feel like she only wanted more money from him.

He giving her money willingly was totally different than having her ask for it!

She paused for a while, and Frederick seemed to understand her. He asked, "I did not see you buying anything expensive! Where is your money? Where did you spend it on?"

Hopefully, she wasn't cheated out of her money!

"It was the birthday of a very important friend of mine. I gave her a pair of earrings. It was somewhat expensive!" Alicia replied. Seeing that she had no choice left, she could only make up an excuse.

She just needed to get past this obstacle first! Otherwise, things wouldn't end well for her!

He seemed to have accepted her explanation and tapped her forehead.
