|| Because of this, Frederick had been sending all kinds of pleasing messages to Alicia that day. However, all he got in return was the cold shoulder. That night, Frederick deliberately returned hearly. However, when Alicia saw him, she didn't give him a smile. Instead, she went to the bedroom after polishing the glass. Frederick knew that he had really upset her this time, therefore he followed her shamelessly. In a rare moment of humility, he asked, "What would you like to eat tonight? "I don't want to eat anything!" Alicia had no appetite to eat! As Alicia looked at Frederick, she felt that she hated him to the core. She had the urge to slice him to pieces! Turning around, she was still upset. However, Frederick stopped her with a smile and hugged her from behind.
"What's wrong? It's been a day and you're still angry?" Looking back abruptly, Alicia got even more fired up.
It was easy for him to say that! Was one day not long enough? Had she been too nice? He didn't even listen to her opinion on such a big issue; he was dictating. Not even twenty-four hours had passed, and he was already complaining.
She was tempted to kick him hard! Just as she was about to move, a familiar ringtone suddenly rang. Turning around, Frederick went to answer a call.
"Okay, I got it. I'll be there in a minute. Isn't it just a celebration at East Bannpool?" "Well, feel free to order!" When Frederick hung up the phone, he saw Alicia's demure eyes staring askance at him, still vaguely sparking anger.
Stepping forward and cupping her face, Frederick smiled. Then, he said, "There's a party tonight at East Bannpool. We're going out to eat and drink. Are you coming?" He only asked for her opinion when he wanted to head out, Alicia thought. Frederick probably just said it casually and didn't actually want her to go.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThinking about what she had just heard, it must have been a call from one of those few friends of his. In the past, Alicia would definitely consult his opinion, asking if it was convenient for her to go along. However, Alicia's mind was currently set on making him unhappy. She nodded her head even though she was angry and uninterested.
"I'll go!" A party at East Bannpool, where there was bound to be a show? She would be a fool not to go! With that, Alicia ran to her closet. As she would be going out later, she subconsciously dressed up a little. She was just accompanying Frederick to the party. Hence, she wore a loose, light-coloured sweater with slim-fitting leggings. The neckline of the sweater was designed to reveal her collarbone. Her shoulders were exposed and her fair skin was vaguely visible. Although she dressed simple, she looked stylish and attractive.
Letting her long hair down, Alicia curled it a few times. After putting on light makeup, she put on a pair of hooped tassel earrings. She then carried a cute little bear bag and didn't forget to tuck her lipstick and makeup mirror into the bag.
As Frederick watched her go about her business, wearing the things he had bought, an inexplicable sense of pride welled up in his heart.
For her to not forget to dress up even if she was angry, to Frederick, she was understanding and giving him face! Of course, it didn't occur to him that this was only Alicia's personal habit. Although she could be lazy and casual at home, she was used to being clean and looking her best outside. She felt that dressing up nicely was also a way to respect others.
Previously, all her shoes were heels with a minimum of five centimeters in height. She always felt more feminine in high heels. But, since she had been running around a lot these past few years, she preferred to wear flats unless it was a necessary occasion. As a result, she took a pair of flats with a pointed toe and a square buckle of glittering diamonds. Coupled with an anklet, her style was lively yet charming. When she was ready, she turned her attention to Frederick out of habit.
Stepping forward, Frederick habitually wrapped his hands around her waist. "What would you like to eat? Chinese? Western? Japanese? Thai?" "Chinese food! I want to eat spicy hot food!" At that, Frederick visibly froze for two seconds. He always thought that the hotpots at parties were jerry-built and only for those who couldn't afford it. Normally, he would have resisted. However, catching a glimpse of Alicia's expression which had yet to return to normal, he naturally had to go along with it.
"Okay." After choosing a restaurant of a famous brand, Frederick could not help but frown at the crowded environment. Luckily, it was still early and the restaurant was large. There weren't many people inside. Meanwhile, Alicia took a small basket and happily went around. Whenever she and her colleagues wanted to save money, they would choose to chere. They all liked to eat here. Although schere to lose weight, Alicia genuinely liked the food here.
After she took svegetables and mushrooms, she went to pick out the ham and croquettes. Following behind her, Frederick frowned.
"Why is there only junk food here?" This was not healthy at all.
Just as Alicia took a few fish balls and sausages, Frederick put them back. Looking back, she glared at him viciously.
"Mr. Clements! Can you cut the crap? I eat here once in a while, I don't even care about affecting my figure. Why are you so picky? You can have boiled vegetables if you want! I like tempura!" As Alicia said that, she added a few more ingredients into the basket. "Either you watcheat, or you leave! I'l get mad if you keep doing that!" Unable to control her, Frederick poked her in the head. With no choice, he could only compromise. His eyes swept to the side where the fresh shrimp and fresh meatballs were before he took some. When the bill was finally paid, the portion for the two of them was worth less than fifty dollars.
Frederick then followed Alicia to grab ssauce. She took two portions of everything and he didn't have to do anything. Then he saw the couple by the side. The guy took two slices of meat but his girlfriend put it back for two portions of greens; it seemed that they couldn't afford much. Frederick suddenly felt that eating hotpot with Alicia was a happy thing.
Slightly adjusting the sauce combination according to Frederick's preference, Alicia looked back at him before adding smore chili. "Do you want this?" "Well, a little bit!" This was Frederick's first tin a place like this where he had to make his own food. Cradling Alicia gently, everything felt new to him. With Alicia done mixing the sauce little by little, Frederick served it up straight away. The two then returned to their seats in the corner.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn a short while, a big bowl of spicy noodles was served. Alicia first divided the noodles into the empty bowls on the side before picking up the utensils.
"Let's eat!" Just as Alicia was feasting, Frederick stared motionlessly at her with the large bowl of spicy noodles in front of them.
Knowing that he was being pretentious again, Alicia ignored him.
He had pissed her off. He shouldn't anted to a complain if he wanted to accompany her for this meatt He could look all he liked and starve to death! Not long after, the ingredients in the bowl had halved. As Frederick noticed Alicia and the others enjoying their food, he then picked up his utensils and took two pieces of greens. After trying them, only then did he gradually started to eat more. Frederick felt inexplicably happy to see their utensils placed in the sbowl at the end. He even ate a lot of frozen meatballs, which he never ate.
For him, even frozen junk food could becdelicious when he was with his beloved.
When he put down his utensils, he felt out of sorts. Still, when he walked out of the restaurant, he was in a good mood. Then, the two of them headed to East Bannpool.
When they got to the door, Alicia stopped in her tracks as soon as she touched her bag.
"What's wrong?"
"I think I left my phone in the car. I'll go get it!" As soon as she turned around, she was stopped. stopped by om Frederick. Stroking her hair, he said, "Wait forhere. I'll get it for you!" Knowing he could move faster, Alicia did not refuse him. She then moved to the side and waited quietly for him.
Meanwhile, Roy had just pulled onto the road when he saw an attractive woman standing at the door. At first, he was attracted by her beauty, but F then he realized it was Alicia. Since she had her head lowered, Roy thought that she was on the phone. He quickly pulled out his phone as well. "Jeremy-" CH/F-PSE Peter Gril X
