Fearing that the awkwardness would fill the air again, Mrs. Clements chimed in. She actually had the intention to save Alicia from that situation as well. At the same time, her tone and attitude were also telling Danica that she was an outsider.

"Sure!" Alicia replied.

Alicia understood the situation swiftly. Hence, she turned around and went back to the kitchen.

Meanwhile, Frederick remained in moody silence. He didn't really speak much about this situation but apparently, what he said had just caused trouble.

Meanwhile, Danica didn't expect such a situation at all. Under such circumstances, Danica still squeezed a smile on her face. She always thought that she had a place in Mrs. Clements' heart. After all, she was sincere to Frederick back when they were together. How could she be replaced by Alicia easily?

That instant, Danica just couldn't accept the truth.

She couldn't accept the change in Frederick's way of treating her. How did Mrs. Clements and Alicia get so close in such a short time? Danica was further surprised by the way Mrs. Clements called Alicia. Since when was their relationship so intimate? She almost thought that Alicia was Mrs. Clements' granddaughter!

Where did this woman come from? What a lady!

Sitting down, all three of them finished their tea in a split second. The atmosphere was filled with tension.

In the kitchen, the food was actually prepared enough for three people. But since two more suddenly came, Alicia took the initiative and started preparing another dish. Miranda also helped her by preparing the ingredient she needed. The air became quiet for a while. Moments later, Miranda began to speak.

"Alicia, don't mind Miss Randolph. Mrs. Clements used to love Miss Randolph very much. You know well how Mrs. Clements reacts when she meets someone she adores. If she likes someone, she will treat that person very well. Thus, for Mrs. Clements, Danica is just paying another visit. That's all. Although Mrs. Clements is old, she still has a clear mind!"

Miranda's words were actually implying that Mrs. Clements knew what she was doing.

Alicia's mind was still full of doubt. Nevertheless, she still smiled. "It's okay. I don't mind about it."

In fact, Alicia knew that the relationship between Danica and Frederick was definitely not that simple. But clearly, Mrs. Clements was on Alicia's side. Even though Miranda did not explain anything, it was still comforting. Alicia felt grateful. As for Frederick, Alicia couldn't figure out what he was thinking about. Therefore, she remained calm.
