Chapter 87
"Grandma is calling me. I'll be over there for a while!" Alicia turned around and headed to the dining area on the other side.
Watching her disappear, Trevor said, "Grandma seems to like her a lot!" RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
"That's right!"
"How do you feel..." Just as Trevor was about to ask Frederick whether he was being sincere towards Alicia, they exchanged glances. Trevor saw the color of Frederick's eyes. Then, he changed his question.
"Is the tradition of the Clements family so important to you?" Trevor asked instead.
Actually, he had heard that Danica Randolph was coming back! However, he suddenly felt uncertain about whether he should tell Frederick this news!
After all, Alicia became Frederick's woman before Danica did. The unique genetic trait of the Clements family caused that transformation in Frederick. There must be some special meaning to it!
"It does not matter to me! But it varies from person to person!" Frederick said.
Rules were dead, but people were alive. He never cared about the so-called "Clements family". But, in this family, there was one person he cared about the most—his grandmother!
If she wanted him to abide by the rules, then he would seriously consider it!
"Huh?" Trevor was confused.
Did Frederick mean that he would divorce Alicia for the sake of Danica? In terms of appearance, Alicia was somewhat similar to Danica, especially at first sight!
Perhaps, it had been a long time! He could feel the difference between them more and more. Danica was more or less gentle and dignified. Alicia might have come from an ordinary family so that she seemed to be more active.
"By the way, that..."
When Trevor was about to mention "Danica", he hesitated for a while. However, Alicia had already returned.
"Hubby, Grandma also wants some corn! Let's cook two more! Also, the mutton is so tender and delicious. Please roast more, but don't add chili or pepper. Since Grandma does not like it, then I won't eat it as well. Ten pieces of mutton, please!" Alicia spoke and then coughed.
Frederick turned around and patted her on the back. "Okay! Remember to drink more hot water! Don't run around too much!"
"Alright, I'll accompany Grandma!"
After taking a few more grilled vegetables, Alicia headed back.
Looking at his familiar, yet natural and concerned actions, Trevor's concern was stuck at his throat. When he saw his grandmother laughing, he suddenly gave up the idea.
Frederick placed a few pieces of mutton on the table and shrugged. Then, he asked, "What were you saying?"
"Nothing, I was just jealous of you!"
With a faint smile, Frederick gazed into the distance. In fact, he had an unprecedented sense of happiness. "Actually, this is not too bad! If there is a chance, you can try it out too!"
As they chatted, Trevor changed the topic and started to talk about himself.
For the whole night, he watched Frederick taking care of Alicia attentively. Frederick even looked happy when he ate and drank with her. Trevor only casually said that he was "jealous". However, when the party was over, he watched Alicia wipe the sweat from Frederick's forehead and the grease on his hands. She did not even let him touch the garbage but helped him throw it away. At this time, Trevor actually began to envy him.
At the end of the dinner, someone really sent her a new cell phone and a SIM card, as well as her lost ID card and bank cards too.
Back in the room, Alicia held the cell phone box and her ID card. She kissed them hard. "Hubby, Hubby! You are so amazing! You are so awesome! I love you so much!"
Wow, he had actually found her ID card and other bank cards too!
Although she had lost her cell phone, she got a new SIM card. She did not have much important information on her cell phone. Alicia felt that she had gained more than what she had lost! When she thought about it again, she felt that it was a great fortune that she had lost 2,000 dollars only!
Frederick rolled his eyes and said with a disgusted look, "You are so dirty! Go and take a shower!" Why was she kissing the phone box?
"Alright! I'll take a shower immediately!"
She turned around and put away the bank cards and the ID card. Then, she suddenly thought of something. "Hubby, how did you find my ID card?"
What about her cell phone? Why did he not bring it back for her?
"We've checked the surveillance footage and tracked the location of your phone! We've found everything, but your cell phone was thrown into the river and it is spoilt! Hence, we've destroyed it!" he said.
Did Alicia not realize that the SIM card was her original one?
"Wow, that's amazing! What about the thief?" The thief had made her so miserable. He even ran away in front of her. She was so angry that she gnashed her teeth at the thought of it!
"He should be going to jail tomorrow! Are you satisfied with this answer?"
"Wow, yes! Hubby, you are so great!" Alicia jumped at Frederick and gave him a big hug. When she was about to kiss him, she suddenly remembered something and retreated.
"Hubby, I'll take a shower first!"
She was so happy that she skipped to pick up her clothes and took a turn into the bathroom. As for Frederick, when he thought that she was going to kiss him, his heart raced due to her flirtation. He was so lost that he could not recover from his disappointment for a period of time.
Alicia was extremely elated while she was taking a shower in the bathroom. All her bad mood was swept away, and she had come back from the edge of sadness.
After wrapping herself in a bath towel and combing her hair, she habitually sprayed some mist on her body and patted her tender skin. She waited for her skin to absorb it.
"Achoo, Achoo-" she sneezed.
Alicia rubbed her nose and suddenly felt a bit of a sore pain in her throat. "Have I really caught a cold?" she thought.
Just as she had expected, there were downsides to everything in life!
"God bless me..." she mumbled.
She repeatedly muttered that a few times and turned around. Alicia rubbed her throat and ran out of the door. "Hubby, do you have any medicine for the cold?"
She approached Frederick, took his hand, and said coquettishly, "I don't feel good! I might need some medicine! I can't get sick at this moment!"
She did not notice how casual she was around him. She had totally regarded him as hers. Hence, when she wrapped herself in a bath towel and acted naturally around him, it seemed that she did not
mind him around at all.
This might be the highest level of love yet! They had really become a loving couple. It was as if they were looking at each other through a mirror-the other half of themselves!
After testing the temperature of her forehead, Frederick said without thinking at all, "Why are you still wearing so little clothes? Go lie down on the bed. I'll get you your medicine!"
Only then did she realize that she had not changed into her pajamas. Frederick walked to the door and Alicia went back to the bathroom.
When he came back, she had already changed into a wide nightdress. She swallowed all the big white pills in one gulp. She looked like a princess, but her movements were as rough as a maid's. Frederick suddenly felt sorry for her. He turned around and took a shower.
This exciting day had its ups and downs. The cold barrier between them had finally melted away, and they could finally return to their previous love life.
When Frederick returned to bed, Alicia subconsciously snuggled closer to him. Although she did not touch him, they were almost only a centimeter apart. When she reached out, Frederick took her into his arms and they cuddled each other. Looking up, Alicia smiled.
He was no longer angry at her, was he?
