Chapter 1040

She shook her head and abruptly stood up. "No, I can walk by myself!"

After all, that was when her body weighed the most. Alicia didn't want to become his burden, so she gritted her teeth and insisted on going up and down the mountain herself no matter how tired she was.

However, she had been slacking off for a long time and had not exercised in a while. For a moment, her stamina was really unable to keep up. During that trip, her legs were actually trembling and she panted even when she walked.

That time, Frederick didn't give in to her anymore. He pulled off her thin down jacket and pulled her onto his back. "I said I would carry you for the rest of my life!"

Alicia's hand was hooked around his neck and she rubbed against him, and she still shook her head. "However, I don't want you to be so tired! We can walk slowly..." "Don't keep forcing your body! It's getting dark, and we can't stay on the mountain for too long. We might end up catching a cold! It'll be faster this way!"

He looked back at her and said, "Hold on tight. I'll put you down when I'm tired!" "Okay..."

Leaning on his broad back, it was as if Alicia had been sent back to the past. The cold wind was blowing, but there was a warm feeling around her. Carrying her was nothing to Frederick, and in fact, it was a good way for him to burn off his energy. Those moments on the quiet road were also when their hearts were closest to each other...

When they got home, Alicia went to take a hot bath first, and Frederick did not dare to get close to Clinton. After being busy with work for a while, he called Chet first.

"Okay, go ahead! Let them all out. We need to first!"

As soon as Alicia walked out, that was what she heard him saying in a murmur. She looked up, and a completely different serious expression suddenly came into sight, with a very clear aura of frost. When he put down the cell phone, Alicia then stepped forward and hugged him. "Hubby, is there a big case? Are you going to be busy again when you've just started getting back to work?"

It had been a long time since she had seen that expression on his face. She had a gut feeling as if something was going to happen. Faint uneasiness flashed through her heart. "Not really, it's just business as usual!"

Turning around, Frederick pinched her little face. He took the towel on her neck and helped her dry her hair. "You need to blow dry your hair properly before coming out!" Not continuing the topic, Alicia immediately understood that he didn't want her to ask more questions. "I got some hot water ready for you, you should take a bath too!" Pushing him into the bathroom, she glanced back at the tiny calendar at the bedside. She couldn't help sighing softly.
