Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

"Where have you been?" Frederick asked.

Frederick was hot under the collar after waiting for her all night long. However, for some unknown reason, he couldn't get angry that instant. He narrowed his eyes and questioned her coldly. "You seem happy. Did you earn extra money again?"

Other than that, Frederick couldn't really think of anything else that would make her this excited. She was so delighted as if she had won a lottery.

Frederick frowned without realizing it.

No matter how dense she was, she could tell that Frederick was not in a good mood. She wrapped her arms around his neck and touched his forehead with hers.

"I wouldn't dare. Hubby, I remember what you said before. You told me that I could ask you for extra money whenever I needed it. How would I forget? I was hanging out with my mother and enjoyed myself so much that I forgot to let you know. I'm sorry and admit it is my mistake. Hubby, please don't be mad at me."

Life had never been better. Alicia felt that she was on a roll. She was genuinely happy as if she was the princess that the Blanchard family cajoled back then. She was beaming with joy.

In fact, Alicia did not tell anyone, including Frederick, about Martin. Right then, she avoided mentioning him.

Alicia was clear that not everything was worth sharing, especially the bad that happened to her parents. This was the same for the man she wanted to rely on. Over the years, she had learned to bear the burden and be careful with her words. She would always choose to remain silent over telling the truth.

Knowing how much Alicia cared for her family, Frederick actually felt relieved that she was with her mother that night. He pulled her towards him and placed her on his lap. Then, Frederick pinched her nose lightly.

"I'll forgive you but there can be no next time!" Frederick said with a soft tone.
