Raising his glass, Shaun complained.
"Why are you always talking about cooperations and investments? We're here to celebrate; we should eat, drink and be merry! Yet, you guys are constantly talking about hundreds of millions of dollars, ignoring our feelings!" "Well, why don't you fund hundreds of millions of dollars to Carson as well?" After the banter, Wyatt suggested, "Let's not just sit around. Why don't we play a game?" "I'd love to! But, I don't have the transportation nor the money right now. Once I get rich, each of you should leavesshares. Lethave sfun too!" After responding, Shaun suggested, "Hey, let's play Truth or Dare. I'm dying to know about Carson's first time." As soon as he said that, a pillow was thrown over at him.
"Do you think I'm afraid of you? I'd rather know how much you spent on the sneakers your dad restricted you from buying and where you hid them! I'll tell Uncle Jerald everything tomorrow." "Carson, I don't even know your secret yet, and you're already getting back at me! I'll stop being curious, okay?" As the two joked around, a few people had a good laugh. Just then, Wyatt took an empty bottle of wine and set it on the table.
Carson suddenly asked, "Frederick, are you going to call... Alicia back?" Carson said that after much consideration. Since Frederick has announced Alicia's identity, there was no reason for him to be concerned about Danica's feelings anymore.
But after Carson said that, the atmosphere turned slightly chilly. Danica's heart sank abruptly as well. "It's alright. Let's play first. When she comes back, she can join in." Subconsciously, Frederick felt relieved. In fact, he didn't really want Alicia to participate in Truth or Dare. It was more than enough that he alone knew her secrets. He couldn't stand the thought of her playing Dare! If someone suggested that she kiss someone else for a few minutes, he'd flip out on the spot! His woman didn't need to play such a game.
With a spin of the bottle, it surprisingly landed at Trevor. Shaun then asked, "Truth or Dare?" "Truth." After a moment of pondering, Shaun asked, "Would you marry Miss Atlas?" Almost at once, Trevor's answer flung out, "No!" At that moment, there was a grumbling and clamoring wail.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"What the hell? How can you ask such a simple question?" "You have no creativity at all! Asking such a question is a waste of opportunity!" "If you don't know what to ask, we'll do it for you! You should have asked Master Trevor how many women he has slept with, where he first had sex, and what his favorite type is." With a sympathetic look at Shaun, Frederick couldn't help but smile. "Ahem!" There were women present, yet they didn't know how to restrain themselves.
Rubbing the back of his head, Shaun looked aggrieved.
"I really wanted to know. Aren't you guys curious at all? Haven't you heard that the two families have already planned several dates for them? I heard that Miss Atlas is very talented and a hot beauty. I wonder i Master Trevor, a flirtatious man, will be taken down by her..." At the mention of this, Trevor's face turned dark.
"Don't mention that ugly woman! Even if all the women in the world are dead, I wouldn't marry Victoria! Do you believe in hearsay? There are even rumors out there that Frederick is asexual." On the contrary, Frederick brought his wife to the party and treated her like a treasure.
Lifting his foot, Frederick kicked him. "You're good at turning the spear. Watch your mouth, or you'll slap yourself in the face!" Meanwhile, Trevor lifted his glass and finished his wine in one go. "How is that possible?" It was not like he had never seen that woman before! All his geese were swans. As his family did, people praised her as if she was special. But the truth was, she was so ugly and totally unappealing to him.
Giving Trevor a sidelong glance, Frederick said, "Let's get on with it." Things seemed fine for several rounds.
However, just then, the bottle slowly stopped in front of Danica. All of a sudden, the atmosphere seemed to freeze.
Without waiting for anyone to ask, Danica said, "Truth!" After all, everyone was familiar with Danica and Frederick's previous relationship. But because of the presence of the other woman and the awkward situation, Shaun was visibly flabbergasted. As his eyes wandered around, several people avoided looking at him.
Therefore, he could only ask, "What do you want to say most now?" "I'm still the sperson I was six years ago, and I've never changed. I have remained the same. I wish tcould go back six years!" Danica's passionate eyes fell on the man across her. Her words amounted to an on-the-spot confession of love. Everyone knew that she was saying this to Frederick. At this moment, everyone instantly fell silent.
Lightly swirling the wine glass in his hand, Frederick drank it all in one go.
"Even if the sun does not rise, the earth will spin. Likewise, even if you remain in the sspot, you are not standing in the sposition anymore. The only thing in this world that never turns back is time!" Putting down his glass, Frederick stood up. "It's getting late. I'm going to go and check on Alicia." After picking up his car keys and nodding his head, he headed for the door. This time, he didn't flinch. His actions were evident.
Danica got up after Frederick did and her tears rolled down uncontrollably as the door slammed shut...
For a while, the room fell silent. Then Carson handed her a tissue. "Danica, Frederick has made his choice. It's tfor you to let go." With a faint sigh, Trevor chimed in as well.
"You need to stop clinging to the past. Don't wear out his patience. Danica, get on with your life! You should know how he's like and not piss him off. He'll turn his back on you if you go too far." If Alicia had been there, there would have been more conflict. Even if the result was the sat this point, it would have been different for Frederick if Alicia had been around.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIf Danica had thus violated his taboo, there was no guarantee of what he would do to her. Although Frederick didn't want much, what he had was precious, and no one was allowed to touch it.
After all, most people present had known Danica for stand they tried to comfort her. However, everyone knew clearly in their hearts: what she just did was clearly inappropriate.
Not to mention, when Alicia arrived, Frederick even acknowledged her in public. Danica's public confession was clearly using their previous relationship to pressure him. She probably didn't expect Frederick to end up giving her such an answer. However, Danica was a woman after all. The men couldn't be bothered with her, let alone in such a situation.
Therefore, the private room was quickly silent...
Walking out of the room, Frederick felt sdiscomfort. Danica's presence had already upset him, then she had to say such things. At this moment, he was not touched but rather, he felt incredibly annoyed. As Frederick reached the lobby on the first floor, he instinctively looked toward the bar. Sure enough, his eyes balked, and saw a beautiful, lovely girl sitting at one side with a cocktail. At that, his deep eyes surged with warmth. As he was about to go over, a familiar male voice suddenly cfrom the stage.
"My first unforgettable confession and birthday were because of a girl. She said she would sing 'Can't Help Falling In Love With You' forevery year on my birthday..." "She gavemany unforgettable firsts! She designed my first menswear and gavemy first love mark. She gaveso many wonderful memories that cannot be duplicated nor replaced. Yet, I hurt her deeply."
"To my regrets and my beloved, I would like to sing you a song today. 'Right Here Waiting' Wherever you gp, whatever you do, I will be right here waiting for you. Whatever it takes or how my heart breaks, I wil be right here waiting for you..."
