Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

A faint sadness flashed across Alicia's eyes as she thought of the past. However, upon lifting her head, her eyes were shining with a smile blooming on her face. "Hubby, you should eat some eggs. It's good for your body! An egg a day keeps the doctor away!"

A simple breakfast ended amidst their laughter. As usual, Alicia kept away all the dishes away and had them washed. For her, it was only a simple matter as she had been doing chores for years. Hence, even i there were more dishes for her to wash, she would not feel being treated unfairly at all.

On the other hand, Frederick's heart ached as he looked at Alicia. She was too thoughtful and considerate for her own good, always handling everything on her own, without anyone knowing. God knew how many times she had been bullied and taken advantage of like this.

"From now on, just let our servant wash the dishes! I'll have Ms. McGowan move over in these two days."

"It's fine, there's not much to wash anyway. I can get it done in a couple of minutes! Besides, I'm kind of a clean freak myself too. I won't feel assured that the dishes washed by other people are clean. I'll end up washing it again anyway, heh!"

Eventually, all the dishes were placed on the disinfection rack as they bantered. Alicia washed her hands and continued, "I like our life now with no one disturbing... just the two of us."

It was rare that both of them came back home for meals together. It was not difficult for Alicia to prepare meals for two either. The most important thing was that she did not want anyone to supervise her. She was used to doing things by herself over the years. It made her felt accomplished and free.

The servants may come over once in a while to clean up the rooms and do the laundry, helping her with part of the household chores. She was comfortable with this arrangement. Coincidentally, Frederick too, was accustomed to loneliness and disliked being disturbed.

He smiled and agreed with Alicia. He also felt happy and cozy with a life like this.

After the meal, they returned to their bedroom. Frederick answered two calls while Alicia took two more pills to make sure the fever was completely gone. She then took a cotton ball and applied the ointment. "Okay, email the contract to me later," Frederick said.

"There's no rush! We'll talk about it next week."

Alicia turned her head and looked at the man who was standing straight and tall. He had a lean figure and broad shoulders. He looked like a god as the golden sun shone on him, making him look strong and steady, inexplicably reassuring. She was visibly smitten by his looks but other thoughts popped up in her mind.

He would not be staying here to look after her this day too, would he? She was indeed delighted if he would but she had two pending translation tasks!

After all, she was impatient when it came to working and she could not stand not doing anything all day.

Her injuries were mild and the scabs had formed after she applied the ointment. She had forgotten about the pain once she had the slightest recovery. She figured that since she no longer felt discomfort, she should not be laying around doing nothing.
