Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Frederick grabbed it and passed it to Alicia, then he checked around the toy bear. It seemed like it was just an ordinary toy, and it even had a tag on it. Nothing seemed odd.

Her gaze trembled slightly while she held the card. Suddenly, she had an image in her mind.

It was a beautiful little girl in a dress with a rough boy. They were sitting under a tree by the rocky roadside with a lollipop in their mouths. The girl pouted.

"Why do you give me a toy bear every year?" She said.

Every time, the boy would scratch his head and say, "What? Don't you like this the most?"

"But it's the same every year, even the color is the same! You don't remember! You don't love me..."

"Okay, hold it right there! How can I not adore you? For next year's birthday, I'll buy you a bigger one!"

"Nicholas, do you know how old I am? Why would you give me a toy bear again? I'm already twice as tall, but your toy bear is still the same! Every year, I say that the presents are the same, but you still give me the same thing next year. It's as if you don't care about anything..."

"I just remember that you like this... You even cried a few days because of it! Alright now, don't be upset! I don't know how to pick anything else for you, you know! When I make money in the future, I'll just give you a bank card on your birthday. The password will be your birthday and my birthday. You can buy whatever you like. Is that alright?"

"That's more like it. I can open a toy shop in the future. It would be opened specially just to sell the toy bears you gave me!"

In her mind, the voices from the past were still ringing. Alicia looked at the bunch of numbers on the card and the familiar looking toy bear.

It had the same curly hair, the same shade of brown and it was the exact same size of 40 cm!

Squeezing the bear, a lump formed in her throat, "Nicholas, it's Nicholas..."

So, he still remembered her birthday! Did he know where she lived? He was still in Casterwich City! Did he earn good money? Did that mean that he was having a good time?

If so, why didn't he contact her?

Holding the bear, she subconsciously moved it close to her like how she would when she was a child, and nuzzled it.

Frederick wanted to ask her who sent it to her, but upon hearing her muttering, he understood immediately and turned around to hug her from behind. "Happy birthday, Sweetheart!"

Alicia's gaze moved away from the toy bear and she saw a huge bouquet of white and red roses. In the middle of the bouquet was a card that wrote "love". Where did he get such a huge bouquet? How could she not have noticed?
