Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 870

As if he was holding a most beloved treasure in his arms, he caressed the picture gently. Frederick's eyes were briefly filled with a gentle glow before it was replaced by obscure darkness.

Raising his hand, he disassembled the photo frame to take out the photo. He pondered for a while, and eventually took out the photo of him and his grandmother and replaced it. As for the photo of three of them, he put it into his file and kept it in his safe.

Later, at eight o'clock in the evening, the group of people arrived at the Green Cloudon Hotel on time. In the private space, men and women gathered in small groups. All of them were made up and dressed up elegantly. When Frederick walked in, what greeted him was a long- lost, familiar yet strangely empty lifestyle.

Frederick saw a lot of familiar faces. Many of the women in the room were openly indulging. Holding their wine glasses, many were gleefully playing drinking games. His appearance was unexpected. The moment people saw him, silence descended on the room that you could hear a pin drop.

Frederick nodded casually and said, "Sorry guys,

I'm late!"

His voice was calm, and nothing could be deduced from his attitude. No emotions were on his elusive face.

At this time, a man stood up and shouted a greeting. "What a rare phenomenon. It's our honor to have you here, Mr. Clements!"

The crowd stared in shock. Some exchanged doubtful glances, and questions of disbelief were whispered.

With her red lips smiling, Danica stood up. "Frederick, take a seat here, I've reserved a seat for you!"

Frederick walked over and sat next to her.

A total of nine people attended and there were several unfamiliar faces. As most of them were Danica's friends, the only ones he knew by name were Qiana and Zaydon. Everyone was even spaced out, sitting in alternating gender. Some of the others looked familiar yet he had forgotten their names since they hadn't contacted each other for some time.

The two women sitting opposite were stunned at the sight of Frederick sitting next to Danica. Their bulging eyeballs looked almost comical. One of them put down her wine glass to pulled up the hem of her skirt while the other grinned in joy.

As soon as Frederick sat down, an extrovert man in the group shouted and refilled a glass of wine for everyone.

"It's rare to see Mr. Clements showing up. Since all of us are here, let's have a drink together first! To wish all of us a happy life, a great love, and great fortune! Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

Even though none of this appealed to him, Frederick acted like a mute social butterfly. Except for the fake smile on his face, he didn't intend to say anything more.

As soon as he sat down, he felt a sharp gaze on him. When he looked up, a pair of profound eyes met his. In an instant, Frederick suddenly realized Qiana, whose face used to flushed with laughter, had changed completely. Her head seemed almost too big for her skinny body. Under her loose clothes, she was frail to the point where she would be easily blown away by the wind. Her eye bags were obvious and a dark and gloomy atmosphere surrounded her. She was extremely haggard.

On the other hand, the man next to her was visibly chubbier. Swiping on his mobile phone, there was a comfortable and relaxed look on his face. He too was completely different from the previously warm and gentle image he had.

Although the two of them were sitting next to each other, it was obvious that they had the appearance of unity, but were divided at heart.

In an instant, Frederick was stunned.
