Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

"Caroline? Why are you here this late at night?"

Alicia couldn't help but chuckled at the sight of Caroline's timid gaze and subtle movements. From the looks of it, she was really afraid of Frederick!

All of a sudden, she was reminded of her first visit to the Clements family. Alicia remembered the look on Hallie's face when she gazed at her. Right then, Alicia raised her hand and held Frederick's arm as she tried to smooth things over.

"Caroline's car broke down, so Nicholas dropped her off at our place on his way back!"

As she said this, she quietly pinched Frederick twice as an indication for him to stop prying any further!

At that moment, Nicholas said, "Yeah, don't worry about it. I'll be leaving first!"

Alicia pulled Caroline to her side and said, "Caroline, let's go in! It's a rare occasion to have you over, plus I've just made some snacks. Come on in, you must give it a taste!"

After dragging her into the house, Alicia then brought out a pair of fresh clothes that she wasn't wearing and handed it to Caroline.

"Here, go change your clothes first! Don't let Frederick worry about you and question you any further. We're about the same size, so you should be able to make do with them for now. They're brand new, even the price tag hasn't been removed yet!"

"Thank you, Alicia!"

"You don't have to be so polite! We're a family! You better get going now!"

Alicia deliberately chose a high-neck shirt for Caroline which perfectly covered the scar on her neck. Shortly, Caroline then breathed a sigh of relief once her clothes were changed.

Back in the living room, she couldn't help but felt a little nervous when she saw Frederick, "Frederick..."

"Well, you came to my place in the middle of the night, so I'm guessing you were caught up in some kind of trouble, weren't you?"

"No..."

Right as Alicia walked out with a bowl of sweet soup in her hands, she saw Frederick scrolling through his phone on the sofa just like an old man. On the other side, Caroline was scared out of her wits while she tightly gripped onto her clothes until it wrinkled.
