Chapter 88
Compared to the gloomy mood he had the past few days, Frederick was also in a good mood at this moment.
He toyed with strands of her silky hair, leaned over, and pressed her under his body. When he lowered his head, Alicia covered her mouth. She blinked with her beautiful big eyes. She then shook her head gently and spoke in a low voice.
"Hubby, this might not be a good idea! I might pass my cold to you!"
Seeing that her face was about to turn red, Frederick pulled her hand down and lowered his head to give her a deep kiss.
"A loving couple will face happiness and difficulties together!" he said. Till death do us part!
He did not say the last sentence, but he really meant it in his heart. The origin of their marriage did not matter. At this moment, they were a real couple!
"You will feel better after sweating it out!"
What was he talking about?
Their eyes met. Before Alicia could make a sound, her red lips had been tightly blocked. This time, it was different from the gentleness moments ago. It was deep and overbearing!
The rain kept falling outside the window. Inside the room, it was hot...
This rough night did not go in vain. After that night, he clearly felt that his bad mood had disappeared. Alicia also became happier.
The following days went smoothly, and she was in a good mood.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
She had a new phone which she had obtained after a hard lesson. She got more and more cautious in her life and became more alert in doing her daily things.
Most of the time, a lesson and experience had to be exchanged with a heavy price. Be it money, blood, or tears. Perhaps, this was the only way people would learn and grow. Only after experiencing it could one grow up.
All these years, there had been a lot of ups and downs. Alicia did not take everything so seriously anymore! Therefore, she was very optimistic. No matter how many setbacks she had encountered, she might cry and vent, but after that, she often worked harder and cherished the things she had.
One day after finishing her work, she chatted with her mother during her break and was informed that the condition in her home was getting better. Then, she looked at her social media app.
Every time she looked at it, she was annoyed. She would always see news about Lindsay and her engagement. There were posts about her pregnancy too. One day, she would show new baby clothes, and the next day, she would post the words "soon married'. Sometimes, she would also share about feeling nauseous from being pregnant. There were at least three posts from her every day. It was as if Lindsay was afraid that Alicia would not
be able to see it.
The most hateful thing was that as soon as she deleted Lindsay's contact, she would send all kinds of messages to Alicia. When she blocked Lindsay, she would open a new account and continued to spam her. Hence, Alicia finally compromised for the sake of her own peace!
That was it! At first, Alicia would turn on the settings to not look at Lindsay's posts. However, Lindsay would still send her messages automatically every time. In the end, Alicia's cell phone always had notifications, which was annoying. Alicia had to inform Lindsay that she was looking at her posts and asked Lindsay to stop pestering her with messages.
From then on, every time Alicia looked at social media, she only had one feeling—what the hell!
What else can Lindsay do every day apart from showing off her love?
She was really destroying Alicia's good mood!
Just as she was about to delete the app, she suddenly thought about it and Alicia gave Lindsay a 'like'. She thought she should let Lindsay know about it! Alicia thought that she should just satisfy her desire of showing off! Otherwise, Lindsay might go crazy one day and continue to send her some photos of their love life!
She realized that forgetting about someone was not as hard as she thought!
Her heart still ached, but only for less than two seconds!
Just as she was having a little headache, her phone suddenly vibrated. Alicia was getting jittery, "Did she send me another one of those messages?"
She was just afraid that Lindsay would not know when to stop!
She looked at her phone and realized it was actually from Frederick. [ Come home tonight. Prepare the dinner!]
Her eyes flashed, and Alicia instantly smiled. [ Okay, I will wait for you!]
After that, she added a little "kiss" emoji. Her eyes lit up with happiness. She was in an elated mood. Of course, she knew that she was going to have to cook. She stared at the computer and began to think of what to cook.
When she was about to put down her phone, another message came. She looked at it and rolled her eyes. The message was sent by Lindsay. She did not know if it was really a reply to her like', or
if it was just a test to see if Alicia had blocked her.
[ Thank you!]
[ Why didn't you share my post? Are you so mean?] Lindsay added another sentence.
D*mn! Was she blind? Can't she see her posts? These hypocritical messages were so stupid!
Alicia really wanted to argue, but she really did not feel like it. She casually replied with a few words, [ I'm busy. I'll do it tomorrow! Wait for it!]
Perhaps, Lindsay finally stopped when she got this message!
Alicia mocked her in her heart. The moment she put down her phone, she got even more anxious!
Frederick was also looking at his phone at the same time. He was scrolling through his phone for a long time. His lips turned into the shape of a smile.
By this time, the intercom in his office rang, "President, it is 3:40 p.m.. You have a technical department meeting to attend!"
"I see."
Frederick casually took a folder and accidentally glanced at a fashion magazine next to him. The cover was a pair of celebrity couples. They were dazzling. It was an advertisement for a jewelry brand. Following the woman's slender fingers, his eyes fell on her ears, which was exaggeratedly enlarged and was flickering with light.
Suddenly, something occurred to him. He turned to type on the computer and picked up his phone...
Before getting off work, Alicia packed up her bags early and checked them several times. She had learned the lesson from the last time. She would not bring too much cash anymore. She would only
bring enough for herself to use.
When the bell rang, Alicia was the first to turn off the computer. As soon as she got up, a mocking voice came, "Hey, can pigs fly today? Why isn't our workaholic Alicia working overtime?"
"Hey, you are asking for a beating, aren't you? How dare you make fun of me? I have a date today. I have to go!" Alicia teased.
She waved her hand and walked straight out of the door. She was afraid that there would be a traffic jam on the road. Alicia walked quickly and skipped out of the company. When she was about to walk out of the entrance, the bag she was holding almost hit someone else.
"I'm—" She wanted to apologize.
She instinctively retreated and looked up, but she paused. She thought, "Jeremy? Why is he here?"
Her smile faded little by little. Then, she turned around immediately.
"Ally!"
Jeremy grabbed her wrist. It was soft and warm, a feeling that he had not felt for a long time. It burnt his heart. Subconsciously, he clenched his fists a little bit more tightly.
She slowly turned around. For a moment, Alicia was also in a trance. Following his powerful hand, her eyes glazed over his familiar yet strange face.
"Do you have time? Let's find a place to have dinner and talk, okay?" he said.
After the incident at the clubhouse previously, Jeremy realized something. It was like a blow to his head. It knocked him so hard that it was as if he was in a different world. In an instant, the overwhelming feelings in his heart could not be suppressed anymore.
