Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Chapter 870 As if he was holding a most beloved treasure in his arms, he caressed the picture gently. Frederick's eyes were briefly filled with a gentle glow before it was replaced by obscure darkness.

Raising his hand, he disassembled the photo frto take out the photo. He pondered for a while, and eventually took out the photo of him and his grandmother and replaced it. As for the photo of three of them, he put it into his file and kept it in his safe.

Later, at eight o'clock in the evening, the group of people arrived at the Green Cloudon Hotel on time. In the private space, men and women gathered in small groups. All of them were made up and dressed up elegantly. When Frederick walked in, what greeted him was a long-lost, familiar yet strangely empty lifestyle.

Frederick saw a lot of familiar faces. Many of the women in the room were openly indulging. Holding their wine glasses, many were gleefully playing drinking games. His appearance was unexpected. The moment people saw him, silence descended on the room that you could hear a pin drop. Frederick nodded casually and said, "Sorry guys, I'm late!" His voice was calm, and nothing could be deduced from his attitude. No emotions were on his elusive face.

At this time, a man stood up and shouted a greeting. "What a rare phenomenon. It's our honor to have you here, Mr. Clements!" The crowd stared in shock. Sexchanged doubtful glances, and questions of disbelief were whispered. With her red lips smiling, Danica stood up. "Frederick, take a seat here, I've reserved a seat for you!" Frederick walked over and sat next to her.

A total of nine people attended and there were several unfamiliar faces. As most of them were Danica's friends, the only ones he knew by nwere Qiana and Zaydon. Everyone was even spaced out, sitting in alternating gender. Sof the others looked familiar yet he had forgotten their names since they hadn't contacted each other for stime.

The two women sitting opposite were stunned at the sight of Frederick sitting next to Danica. Their bulging eyeballs looked almost comical. One of them put down her wine glass to pulled up the hem of her skirt while the other grinned in joy.

As soon as Frederick sat down, an extrovert man in the group shouted and refilled a glass of wine for everyone. "It's rare to see Mr. Clements showing up. Since all of us are here, let's have a drink together first! To wish all of us a happy life, a great love, and great fortune! Cheers!" "Cheers!" Even though none of this appealed to him, Frederick acted like a mute social butterfly. Except for the fake smile on his face, he didn't intend to say anything more.

As soon as he sat down, he felt a sharp gaze on him. When he looked up, a pair of profound eyes met his. In an instant, Frederick suddenly realized Qiana, whose face used to flushed with laughter, had changed completely. Her head seemed almost too big for her skinny body. Under her loose clothes, she was frail to the point where she would be easily blown away by the wind. Her eye bags were obvious and a dark and gloomy atmosphere surrounded her. She was extremely haggard.

On the other hand, the man next to her was visibly chubbier. Swiping on his mobile phone, there was a comfortable and relaxed look on his face. He too was completely different from the previously warm and gentle image he had.

Although the two of them were sitting next to each other, it was obvious that they had the appearance of unity, but were divided at heart.

In an instant, Frederick was stunned.

If he wasn't mistaken, they've been lovers since they were in school! They were not only well-matched but were also deeply in love. It hadn't even been two years yet, how did things go wrong? Other than marriage and love, was there anything else that could torture a glorious woman to such a haggard state? In a daze, a similar scenaflashed across Frederick's mind. Subconsciously, he clenched his fists tightly. At that moment, a sharp voice sounded.

"I have heard that Mr. Clements is married. I haven't had the chance to congratulate you yet! Why did you calone? Where's Mrs. Clements?" Qiana was the person who spoke.

Compared to her bright and friendly personality back in the day, at the moment, her voice was sarcastic and earbursting. The veins on her face were faintly twitching. Right at this moment, Danica took a piece of fruit and handed it to Frederick. Everyone observed the two in silence.

Everyone could tell the relationship between him and Danica. Furthermore, Danica had dropped covert hints before. The atmosphere turned slightly embarrassing and awkward. Everything froze.

As for the other two single women, one had just been defeated in love, and the other one only faintly knew about Danica. There were deep-rooted unhappiness and jealousy in her heart. She too did not want such good fortune to fall on her again. More importantly, she did not want to be suppressed by such a person with a ruined reputation. Therefore, with a quick side glance, a seemingly understanding woman with a ponytail spoke. "Perhaps Mrs. Clements is busy, right? A loving couple doesn't have to stay with each other all the time, don't you think so, Mr. Clements?" Her words seemed to have given Frederick a way out, but as long as he went along, it would be tantamount to a public slap in Danica's face. Matters of the heart could not compare to one's face and prestige. Especially for an influential person in Casterwich City like him. Therefore, as soon as the woman spoke, Danica's face turned pale. Everyone was waiting for a reply. Shaking his glass of wine lightly, he took a sip of it as if he didn't hear it. Danica took the initiative and said.

"Is love that easily explainable? Things change! What's the reason to continue if the two people are not well- matched? It's better to separate early so that no tis wasted, isn't it?"

Holding Frederick's arm, Danica's intention was loud and clear.

om Frederick belongs to her. They have a history together. In her mind, she thought she was simply taking back what originally belonged to her. Frederick did not speak even though he was frustrated. The two women could only chuckle emotionlessly. However, Danica's words were like thorns that provoked Qiana.

Ε get "The reason why there are a lot of miserable women out there is that such ungrateful and selfish men like you exist in the world! If you can't fulfill a promise then don't f*cking married. Wanting to be a saint after being a hooligan? The sgoes for you, are you out of your mind to pick up such treacherous rubbish like this? I wish both of you are tied together for the rest of your life so that you would harm others again!" Disgusting! Waving her hand, Qiana strode to the door and slammed it with a bang.

Standing up, Zaydon's paled. He forced a smile and said, "Sorry, it's fine. She's just having a hard trecently!" He followed her out awkwardly.

The party inexplicably cto an end just as it started. People shot Danica looks of disdain, while her face was pale and embarrassed. At that moment, her nails dug into her palms.

Was Qiana out of her mind?

At that moment, just outside the door, Alicia had walked out of the restaurant. Just as she parted with her friends, she looked up and saw the shining sign on the road. In the dark, it was sparkling like a glorious diamond... X
