By the time Alicia arrived home, it was a little past seven in the evening. She was shaking the toy monkey by its tail in her hands, feeling much happier than she did in the day. Just as she was about to head upstairs, she heard someone unlocking the front door. She turned around and was met with Frederick, holding a bouquet of lilies in one hand and a box of chocolate in the other.

As soon as their eyes met, Frederick smiled while Alicia pouted back at him.

He walked towards her and handed her the bouquet of lilies. Then, he lowered his head and pecked her on her cheeks. Alicia snorted whilst she glanced at him. Her tone was cold.

"Have you eaten yet?"

Frederick held her with one hand and smiled back at her. "I haven't had anything since lunchtime. I'm about to starve to death!"

She knew that when he was busy, he would not have the time to eat. But when she saw him grinning cheekily, she thought that he deliberately said it to win her sympathy. Alicia pursed her lips.

"It's better that you starve to death! That way, there would be one less mouth to feed!" Lest to irritate her!

Just as she was about to turn around and walk away, she heard his stomach growling. Immediately, she turned back around.

"Tonight... we'll go on a diet! I'll make some noodles."

When Frederick saw how awkward she looked, he reached out and gently pinched her cheeks with a smile. "Whatever you say!"

As soon as Alicia put her things away, her phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and greeted, "Grandma!"

It was Mrs. Clements who called to ask whether she had her dinner yet and invited her over to have a reunion dinner. She also informed Alicia that she had bought her a gift and that she should come over and collect it.

As soon as Alicia hung up the phone, they both hopped into the car and made their way to Mrs. Clements' house.

When they arrived at the door, Mrs. Clements and Miranda came rushing out to greet them. However, when Mrs. Clement saw Frederick, she asked, "Oh, are you not busy tonight?" Frederick could not help but roll his eyes when he saw the look of disdain on his grandmother's face. "Grandma, do you not want to see me? Which of us is your true biological grandchild?" Alicia and Mrs. Clements spoke on the phone for more than ten minutes, yet they did not even mention his name! He came over to have a meal, and this was the reaction he got? Miranda smiled mischievously and then took the gift box from Frederick's hand as she said, "Master Frederick, please come in! Dinner will be served soon!"
