Alicia and Frederick talked and giggled along the way before they got into the car. Although it was not a perfect day, it was not too bad either.

By the time they reached home, Alicia had already fallen asleep in the car.

This was the first time that Frederick was totally ignored by a woman. Apparently, Alicia didn't feel any pressure staying with Frederick either. Instead, she dozed off beside him. Looking at her, who was sitting on the shotgun, Frederick felt she was different from the others. It was truly comfortable being by her side.

After parking, Frederick carried her off the car. On their way to the door, Alicia was woken up by his movement.

"Urn... Hubby? We're home? Why didn't you wake me up?"

While rubbing her eyes, Frederick was about to put her down. Suddenly, she wrapped her hands tightly around his neck and said, "I'm not fully awake yet! Just hold me a little longer."

Alicia raised her tone while keeping her eyes shut tightly. Looking at her series of actions, Frederick couldn't help but chuckle.

"Sweetheart, are you sleep-talking?"

"Why is she so adorable? I'm just carrying her. What's so exciting about it? It's not like I never carried her before," Frederick thought.

"Yeah... And it is a serious one!" Alicia replied

She nodded enthusiastically and hugged Frederick tighter. She couldn't get enough of this moment.

Thus, Frederick carried her and made his way to the door. Upon putting her down at the door, Alicia felt contented and delightful.

Once Frederick returned to their room, his phone started to vibrate. He explained to Alicia that it was some emails on auction and bidding. Then, he went to the study room. Alicia could feel that it was some important business, therefore instead of bothering him, she went to the bathroom to take a shower herself.

Alicia was a little tired as she had been out for almost a day. After showering, she helped Frederick to prepare some clothes to change after his shower. Then, she went and reorganized the clothes they just bought.
