Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

With the same doubt, Frederick's gaze fell on Nicholas's face. "Did he realize something? Why did he ask such a strange question?" He thought to himself. Realizing that his words might cause a misunderstanding, Nicholas smiled and caressed Alicia's hair. "No! I'm just asking because I care about you!"

In fact, he also felt that her emotions were slightly unusual. Frederick was definitely sugarcoating it when he said it was hard communicating with her when her reaction was actually unreasonable. Moreover, it was obvious that she was aware about it and that this was within her control! This was not like her at all! He would believe if one said that she was arrogant, headstrong, and would occasionally throw a princess' tantrum. However, if one said she was a terrible listener and behaved unreasonably, he would find this difficult to believe nor accept. From what Nicholas knew, she always knew her limits. Moreover, this was a rather trivial matter. She had already said that it was "nothing" herself. How could she hold on to it for so long, and even be so weak that she cried about it to him? This was not the tough and independent Alicia he knew!

If she was not strong enough, how could she grit her teeth and endure what she went through for the past few years?

However, her current reaction was indeed incomprehensible!

"Oh, I thought something was wrong. Why did you suddenly say something so strange? Have some melon seeds, Nicholas. They are delicious!"

Alicia grabbed a handful and put it into Nicholas's hand.

Nicholas followed her orders and ate a few. He narrowed his eyes in bewilderment and asked, "Original flavor?"

Didn't she dislike original flavors the most? She would happily enjoy all kinds of flavors but would always detest original flavored food. He remembered that he and their parents would snack on original flavored food during New Year at home as they all favored it more so than other flavors.

She was the only person who didn't share the same preference. Thus, they always had to specially prepare a packet of melon seeds of a different flavor for her and she would usually eat that alone. Although she didn't eat much, she would never eat the original flavor. That was why their father would often joke about whether she belonged to the Blanchard family biologically, and how they gave birth to such a special little princess.

She was very proud about it every time and she would always say that it was because she was a princess, so she was different. In her beautiful pink princess dress, she would raise her chin and said that with a serious face, which often made the whole family laugh. What was wrong with her that day? She actually ate the original- flavored melon seeds that she would never touch? She even said that it was tasty?

In an instant, Nicholas began to doubt if the girl before his eyes was his precious little sister.
