Thinking of how she was scolded by Frederick that day, Alicia felt inexplicably heartbroken.

At the same time, Frederick also remembered the same incident. His face was obviously getting paler. Mrs. Clements was rolling her eyes at him as well. Regardless of what Danica said, she was still a guest. She hadn't seen them for years and she came to visit Mrs. Clements with gifts. Due to all these reasons, Frederick still put up with her.

Simultaneously, Alicia accidentally gulped down a piece of sea cucumber. Unfortunately, it got stuck in her throat.

Holding her chest, Alicia let out a few short gasps.

She almost threw up at the table.

Looking at Alicia, Frederick patted her on the back intuitively. "Careful. Are you okay? Here! Have some water!"

Meanwhile, looking at Alicia who almost threw up, Mrs. Clements eyes brightened up. "Ally, what's wrong? Do you think you might be pregnant?"

Hearing what Mrs. Clements had just said, Alicia stopped coughing. Her face reddened. At that instant, she just couldn't tell Mrs. Clements that she was actually just distracted and got choked by a piece of sea cucumber.

At the same time, Danica's face became pale instantly.

Alicia held her breath and gulped on two glasses of water, swallowing the sea cucumber forcibly. Moments later, she calmly replied, "Grandma, Frederick and I will work harder!"

Alicia didn't admit nor deny. Her answer was vague but it still hit Danica hard like a direct and powerful punch in the stomach.

Later on, Danica didn't say anything until the dinner ended. Alicia's mood was not better than Danica's either.
