The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family by Adela

Alicia quickly replied, "I'm currently having stea. I miss you, your praises and your sweet talk..." She sent the message along with a few shy emojis.

When Frederick saw her reply, he could imagine her cute face as she rested her head on the table. Perhaps, she was finally glad to be back at JT Translation Services. That was where she truly belonged! He could feel the change in her mood, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"I have a dinner to attend tonight! You have to make sure to eat your dinner. You can even go to your mom's place. You have to take care of yourself. Don't skip dinner!" She giggled as she felt all warm and fuzzy inside. She replied: "I will! I'll be good! You have to take care of yourself as well! Cback early. I'll be waiting for you!" Though their text exchanges were brief, it was essential for them to text. As soon as they put away their phones, both of them felt physically and mentally relaxed. Both were suddenly in a good mood. When the bell rang to signal the end of the workday, Alicia was still immersed in her joy. Since Frederick would not be home, she decided to head over to her mother's place to have dinner. She was not only satisfied with her life now, but she yearned for it. The only difference was that she was living in a different city.

As soon as she walked out of the company, she saw a good-looking man leaning against the wall.

Jeremy? What was he doing here? If she wanted to get her car, she had to walk past him. This time, she did not deliberately avoid him and even walked up to him. However, before she could ask him anything, she heard him speak.

"I had no idea why I decided to chere, and I have no idea what I want to do. All I know is that my heart is in a mess. I unconsciously made my way here, it seems. Now that I'm here, I feel slightly relieved..." When she heard how lonely he felt, she was a little helpless.

"Have you ever thought that if you continue on this way, I'm afraid that you would only suffer more! Jeremy, it doesn't matter what brought you here. You should never show up here ever again!" Hadn't he learned his lesson? Although she had no intentions to upset him, she believed that the both of them had the sunderstanding; Frederick had something to do with the Pitcher Group's current crisis! He was not a man to be trifled with! This time, it was probably just a warning or lesson. The next time, he would probably kill him! She absolutely believed that he was capable of doing it, and she did not want to see it happen.

"What you should do is control, not indulge!" If things continued like this, regardless of whether it was him or her, it could only end in disaster.

After that, she sighed and walked past him.

"Ally..." Jeremy stood up straight and clenched his fist tightly. Anyone could see the pain on his face when he asked, "Do you hate me? Is there... Is there nothing else between us?" She once loved him dearly! One time, he had a fever, and she braved the rain to deliver medication to him! Now, whenever he felt he was about to fall sick, His heart would ache when he thought about that day. If he had realized earlier what he lost and softened his heart, maybe things would not have ended up this way! And now, he did everything she hated. He even betrayed her! His resentment festered in him, but he wasn't sure who he was resenting.

Alicia turned around and looked at him. She was not agitated and was calm, "Hate? Maybe! Jeremy..." When he heard her addressing him like how she used to, he suddenly cback to his senses, "I used to love you very much, and now, I really don't hate you! Although this relationship hurt me, it also broughtjoy! It helpedgrow! I'm exhausted after all these years. However, if I hadn't had this experience, I have no idea whether I can be as strong as I am now. I probably would not have cto Casterwich City, and I would not..." She would not have met Frederick! Everything that happened was all in God's plan. Thus, she had no hatred! She sighed then laughed dryly as she spoke.

"I have what I've always wanted now! I am no longer the pampered girl on campus! As I'm standing here, Jeremy, is there anything you recognize aboutother than my face? Are you sure that the Alicia whom you've once been with is the sperson that's in front of you right now?" "Of course I know! I love you! Even if I tried my best to suppress it all these years, I still cannot deny it! If it wasn't because I can't stop thinking about you, I would have..." He paused for a while. She finished his sentence for him, "You would have married Lindsay, or that fiancee of yours?" There was a flash of light in his eyes. His mood was surging. She still knew him too! She seemed to know what he was going to say. She shook her head.

"You have never loved me! You got close tobecause you wanted revenge. That was why you spent every minute and second with me! You weren't entirely sincere when we were together! Jeremy, my brother is back..." Just by saying that, she could clearly see the change in his eyes.

"You still cannot let it go, can you? I lied to you, and that was why there was always an insurmountable gap and hatred between us! You don't have to keep on saying that you love me. Even if you lived with your animals for stime, you would still be sad if you lost them if you really have feelings or guilt towards me, please don't cand botheranymore. Please put the past behind you and find your own happiness!" "Alicia, I lost whatever happiness I had!" Their eyes met. Her eyes were very determined, "I'm talking about Lindsay..." And, his fiancee! That woman constantly had him in his mind, even in the midst of crises. Although he did not admire or like this woman, Alicia could not deny that she was treating him well! "I don't care about her..." Jeremy roared, and both of them stopped talking. At this time, his phone rang. It was a call from an unknown number.

As soon as he picked it up, a familiar woman ccrying, "Jeremy, where are you? Please cand save me! I don't knowlease s don't know who else to call besides you!" "Linds, where are you? What happened?" "I'm at the police station..." She cried. He was also shocked, "What happened? Don't be scared. I'll be there right away!" After that, he suddenly realized something and looked up. However, all he saw was Alicia, who had already turned around and strode away deliberately.

She looked at the clouds in the sky as soon as she got into her car. She could not help but sigh and say to herself, "Relationships are complicated!" She scoffed.

Sure enough, if what men said could be trusted, pigs would fly! She closed her eyes, and her head was still throbbing. She sat there for a moment and smiled at the mirror. Then, she stepped on the accelerator.

When she got home, she looked at the familiar room and smelled the familiar scent, and her slightlychilled el heart gradually warmed up. She did not have the appetite to eat, so she just had smilk. Then, she took out a tie that had been embroidered. Frederick returned Danica her paintings. She could finally take her gift out! It wasn't for favor nor dispute; it was out of love and affection! Would he understand her intention?

Alicia gently stroked the tie. Then, she suddenly becdowncast again as she said to herself, "I hope you are different. Please do not letdown!"
