Frederick was constantly bothered by the thought of his previous encounter. When he ran into Jeremy, he wasn't able to maintain his calm composure.
However, he knew that he was worrying too much. Therefore, he ignored the thoughts and kept quiet.
Alicia wasn't aware of such an occurrence. Moreover, she didn't truly understand the fear that had been instilled in his heart. To her, she merely thought that Frederick was dissatisfied and unhappy at her earlier due to his misunderstandings of her being there.
This recognition was a stark contrast from how apprehensive she constantly felt towards her own capabilities. She felt slightly emotional by the thought of it.
"I'll stop disturbing you, Frederick. I'll book another room for the night!" As she was about to move, he held her tight and softly said, "What are you talking about? I'm so happy that you're here to see me, but I really hope that you'll informthe next tyou pay a visit. Can you do that?" If it wasn't for Frederick who opened the door that day, or if she had hastily tried to enter his room, wouldn't there have been trouble for them? Maybe it was entirely her fault. Alicia hated the thought of it. All she wanted to do was to surprise him! Although it did cross her mind that Frederick would be unhappy to be disturbed at work, and it was necessary to inform him in advance, she still wasn't satisfied. Her lips curled up in anger instantaneously. He approached her with a gentler behavior. "Okay, I understand. Please don't be angry anymore. Let's forget about this. Besides, it's getting late, and we've had enough arguments for one day." He stroked her hair and hugged her tightly. "Are you tired? I think you should go take a bath." While he spoke, he lifted her suitcase and placed it aside, he also took her cell phone away from her, then pushed her into the bathroom.
After a long day, she was both physically and mentally tired. She wasn't looking forward to wasting anymore energy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOnce she was done with her bath, Frederick waited outside for her with a glass of milk in his hands. He also had sexquisite snacks prepared for her.
"Have smilk before you go to bed, Alicia! I also got you snight snacks. We can use the microwave in the room to warm them up." She felt slightly better after drinking the glass of milk.
She picked up her phone and booked a train ticket at 5:50 a.m. after she estimated the appropriate tto leave. She had booked an early ticket because she didn't want her work to be delayed. She then proceeded to set an alarm on her phone.
After circling around her, Frederick paused for a moment. "Why aren't you staying here for another day?" "Since you're already here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" As she turned around, she looked at him and said with her red pouting lips, "I don't want to be a nuisance to someone!" He felt helpless as he observed her tantrum. He whimpered, "Ally..." She coughed coldly and pushed him away. "I'm sleepy!" She turned around and kicked off her shoes, then hopped onto the bed. Afterwards, she laid down on the bed and covered herself with the duvet.
He shook his head in despair and sighed. He neatly arranged her shoes by the bedside before he headed into the bathroom.
Frederick and Alicia were tossing and turning throughout the night, and this made them a little tired. He didn't want to force her to sleep with him. Instead, he laid beside her and placed his hands over her body, then he slowly cuddled her.
After resisting for a while, she then pulled the quilt and remained still.
Although they were dissatisfied with how things ended earlier, the both of them were no doubt exhausted. Besides that, Alicia was also drained from traveling around. Nevertheless, Frederick's warm and calming embrace gave her an endless sense of security. It wasn't long before she would fall into a deep sleep. Even though she was still resisting, she dozed off very shortly after.
Regardless of the fact that he was facing her back, his tranquil heart wasn't affected knowing he was connected to her. Not long after, he slept soundly as well.
Alicia had her eyes wide open despite her alarm not going off. There was something bothering her. She looked at the tand noticed it was five o'clock sharp; she had woken up on time. She didn't remain in bed any longer, so she got up quietly and carefully moved Frederick's hand away as she tried not to carelessly wake him up. Unfortunately, he woke up despite her subtlest movements. Little did she know that he had already turned off her alarm. He originally wanted her to take a rest, but now, it seemed that his idea was in vain. As she tried to leave the bed, he held her waist back and said, "Are you really leaving?" As he spoke, his low, sexy voice still sounded sleepy and husky. He leaned against her shoulder and his eyes were still half-closed. In these few hours, he had such a good sleep. It would be better if he slept more! As expected, she was still furious. Truthfully, she was the easiest person to satisfy, but also the most demoralizing person.
"I've already bought my train tickets!" In her mind, Alicia thought, "Does Frederick think I'm fooling around?" "Wouldn't it be bad forif I threw it away?" She pushed him away and said with a glare, "I'm not an imprudent person like you are." After that, she headed into the bathroom to wash up.
Knowing that she was still furious, he got up from bed as well. When she cout, he had already prepared breakfast for the both of them.
"Here, have something to eat first. It's too early in the morning, and I'm afraid the restaurants aren't open this early. Also, don't worry about later. I'll be taking you to the station!" Then, he went into the bathroom. As she gazed at the simple meal on the table, her heart was then filled with tenderness. Frankly, she wasn't expecting him to wake up this early to accompany her and see her off.
After all, she wasn't a child, and it was still early, so she wasn't that pretentious. At this moment, she truly felt like she had a lover and someone was concerned about her. It was different, even if it was just a few sentences, it was still enough to make one feel ill-disposed! Alicia wasn't bothered whether she was hungry or not; she still ate the meal. Naturally, she left half of the meal for Frederick.

"It's still too early. When we reach the station later, I'll get you ssnacks and a bottle of water..." He said to her.
He carried her suitcase and took off his jacket then handed it to her before leaving. It was still early, and there weren't many vehicles on the road. During the trip to the station, they didn't have much of a conversation. It was not long after they had arrived at the station.
Frederick picked up the tickets for her by the counter and brought her to the waiting hall. Over there, there were already speople waiting in line with their tickets.
Alicia returned his jacket and took over her luggage. She had a partially crestfallen expression on her face as if she wasn't too well. She didn't say a single word; she merely waved her hand and was ready to leave Frederick hugged her and extended his hand to poke her plump cheeks. "What's wrong? Are you still mad at me?" "Hmph!" She snorted; feeling slightly awkward at that moment.
"It's my... No, I'm to be blamed for this time. I shouldn't have doubted my wife's good intentions. I'll accept my punishment and do the dishes for two days straight, alright? Please don't be mad anymore."
Her face had brightened up. A smile appeared on the corner of her lips as she exclaimed, "That's so insincere! How can two days possibly be enough? Three days is more appropriate. I'm only going to eat without doing the dishes the minute I get home!" Noticing how she had begun to joke once again, he sighed in relief. He held her in his arms and hugged her tightly.
"Okay! As long as you promise not to stay angry, then I'll do anything to make it up to you. I'll do the dishes for three days, so cheer up alright? Be careful on the way back!" "I will! Hubby, I'll be leaving now! You should go back too, don't forget to have breakfast." "Okay!"
He lowered his head and planted a kiss on Alicia's forehead, then he brought her to the innermost ticket gate. Frederick watched her figure slowly disappear from his sight. He rubbed his swollen forehead and picked up his phone... Before she got off the bus, Alicia received a phone call from Chet. Needless to say, he had already been waiting there with breakfast in his hand as soon as she arrived.
"I'm sorry for troubling you with all these, Chet!" She said.
