Once he parked the car at the side, Frederick slowly walked up to her. He unbuttoned his suit jacket and gently draped it over her shoulders. At the same time, he also placed his arm in front of her to prevent her from falling off the bridge.

Alicia suddenly turned around, and her nose was visibly red from crying. "Hubby?"

She sobbed and quickly wiped away the tears from her eyes.

Frederick couldn't help but laugh loudly. He raised his hand as he wiped the two black marks off her cheeks.

"You look dirty, just like a little tabby cat."

He then took out a handkerchief that he carried with him and cleaned her face. He lowered his gaze and saw her messily buttoned shirt collar. The corner of her mouth also had obvious scratch marks, and her lipstick was smeared around the edges of her lips. Her cheeks weren't looking too good either, it seemed that...

Frederick recalled that Chet had mentioned her meet up with Jeremy. The sight of her sitting here alone with her eyes flushed red as if she had suffered a great grievance affirmed Frederick's guess on what had happened. Then, he carefully cleaned her smudged makeup.

"How did you find out that I'm here?" Alicia wondered why he had come at a time like this.

"Didn't you say you miss me? Besides, great minds think alike."

He pulled her away from the edge of the bridge and held her in his arms, saying tenderly, "Don't sit at such a dangerous place next time."

Alicia rubbed her nose and threw herself into his arms. "Okay, I promise I won't."

Looking up, Alicia arched her body against his. "Hubby, did you come all the way here to purposely meet me?"

As she thought about how she had been forcefully kissed earlier, Alicia subconsciously pursed her lower lip and mumbled, "Just now, I—"

"I know. You've yet to grow up, and you cried because you missed me a lot. It's alright. Next time, I'll definitely give you a call if you ever miss me. Have you eaten yet?"

Hearing this, Alicia felt that he had already figured out what happened, but he had deliberately changed the subject. Instead of continuing the topic, Alicia shook her head and suddenly felt a little hungry. "Let's go. I'll take you somewhere to fill your belly.

Geez, you don't even know how to take care of yourself."

"But my car..." Alicia started.

"Just leave it here. No one will steal it anyway. Once you're free, just find someone to drive it home for you," Frederick said as he held her in his arms and walked toward his car.
