Somehow, Frederick still felt that something was off.

Knowing his identity and status, there were just too many people who wanted to have some sort of relationship with him. They would do anything to get close to him, and Alicia understood that well.

However, she would never eavesdrop on most of his things, especially those that involved his work unless he talked about it himself. Alicia knew that they were a couple, but she also understood that they were still individual beings. She allowed them to have their own personal space. Not only was it because she had her limits and didn't want to be overbearing, more importantly, she wanted to leave some mystery between them. Being too transparent with each other might make them lose attraction to each other.

She wouldn't ask further if he didn't want to say anything. She just held his arm, tilted her head, and said,

"Should I come up with more plans to help you out with your social relations? We can't let others to surpass you in that way! Hubby, will it help if I dance with you?"

Alicia answered herself before Frederick could even reply to her, "I think that'll work! Let me dance with you! This will be one for the books!"

Frederick pinched her face and couldn't help but say, "You're talking nonsense again!"

She just wanted to have a dance with him but she wouldn't say it directly, instead she made it as if she was doing him a big favor! She was indeed one of a kind!

He took her hand and brought her to the dance floor. His arms encircled her waist and his gaze was overflowing with love for her.

At the same time, at a mansion in the city. Jeremy came back with his luggage and a fragrant smell of freshly cooked food filled his senses.

"Jeremy, you're back? You must be tired. I've prepared the hot water! Hurry up and change before you rest!"

"I've made some ravioli. I'm just waiting for you to come back to cook them!"
