"You've touched my heart! No matter what the truth is, I'm feeling much better now!" He hoped that his father's love for him was the same! He pinched her little face and held her hand tightly. "Ally, I want to thank God for lettingmeet you! With you by my side, I'll have no regrets in my life!" He could earn money by himself; he did not care about the Clements family either! He only cared about her! Alicia leaned against his chest and looked up at him. Her eyes were full of love, and her words revealed a sense of tenderness and flirtation.
"Hubby, you must take good care of yourself. I cannot live without you! Without your protection, I will definitely be abused and bullied. I believe that you can overcany hardships. Do not give up, and you cannot fall!" It was a pity that her current identity was awkward for her to help him relieve his family's worries.
"Okay, alright..." They cuddled that night, two wagging hearts tightly entwined, no longer cold, no longer lonely...
In the next few days, almost every day, Frederick would go back hto have a meal with his grandmother. In the dead of night, he would visit his father in the hospital. He would even go in the ward and sit for a moment when there wasn't anyone around. When there was someone, he would just watch from outside and leave soon after. Regardless, he was aware of his father's situation in the hospital.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOn this day, he received an unexpected call from his grandmother when he got off work. After talking to Alicia, he carried stonics he ordered and rushed over. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw a slightly unfamiliar luxurious car parked at the entrance.
Black Bentley? It was a new high-end model; it must be worth a lot! He looked around and was puzzled. "Is it Trevor?" Usually, his grandmother would not receive guests, especially at night. Who would cand disturb the old woman's rest? As soon as he entered the courtyard, Frederick heard a faint conversation and laughter, as well as the clear voice of a woman.
He handed the gift over to a servant. Just when he was about to ask the butler, Mrs. Clements arrived at the door and said, "You're here, Frederick. We're just waiting for you! Paula, you can prepare for dinner!" After entering the room, Frederick found that aside from a middle-aged woman, there was a younger woman. She looked rather young and beautiful. Although she didn't have any makeup, she was a natural beauty.
"Frederick, letintroduce you! This is Professor Clark's wife, my old friend's niece. Their daughter, Miss Regina. Regina has just graduated from college and is currently working as an interpreter in an academic company. This is my eldest grandson, Frederick, which I have mentioned to you guys before. He is running a small company and doing business..." Frederick felt helpless seeing Mrs. Clements's passionate introduction as he knew exactly what she was trying to do. However, he had no choice but to nod and greet them for now.
"A pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Clark, Miss Clark!" "Mr. Clements sure has a striking appearance! You are so lucky, Mrs. Clements!" Mrs. Clark could not hide the smile on her face. On the other hand, Regina took a glimpse of Frederick, and her whole face turned red.
Frederick helped his grandmother to sit down. Before she could say anything else to him, he fished his phone out and said, "Grandma, don't mind me. I need to answer a call!" Frederick left the room, acting as if he had to deal with an emergency. He cback as soon as he made a call to Chet.
Throughout the evening, Mrs. Clements kept referring them to each other and deliberately created topics. However, Frederick pretended not to see nor hear anything. During their meal, she even asked him to help take sfood for Regina. Even so, Frederick remained unresponsive, and it made the atmosphere awkward. He upset Mrs. Clements so much that she stared at him and continuously kicked him under the table while she took sfood for the girl.
When Frederick could not take it anymore, he took the wine bottle, and just as he was about to pour a glass of wine for them, Faye finally called. He cursed Chet while he grabbed his phone.
He was slower than a snail! He answered the call with rare affection, "Faye! It's me..." "Alright, alright, I understand! I'm eating! Baby, be a good girl, do not make a fuss.." "All right! Cloudon Hotel, I got it! You can check in first, I'll cover after the meal..." 11 He had purposely turned his head and lowered his voice. However, he had also controlled it at a volwhere everyone present could hear him clearly.
As soon as he hung up the phone, Mrs. Clements stopped eating.

He has to deal with sstars, and on soccasions, he has to act friendly to them!" "Frederick, you are trying to pissoff, aren't you? Cough..." When Mrs. Clements pounded her chest, Frederick was shocked as well. He immediately coaxed her, "Grandma, are you alright?" He helped the old woman to calm down and poured her a glass of water. Inadvertently, he saw her white hair and the old wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. Only then did he restrain his affectionate expression.
"Grandma, Faye is filming tonight. She just happened to pass by and askedto have a look. I do not mean anything else. Don't be angry!" The atmosphere becmuch more relaxed after they heard his explanation. After drinking two cups of water, Mrs. Clements's complexion also looked better. It was still considered a rather manageable meal. When they left the dining room, Mrs. Clements held Frederick's hand.
"Miss Clark has a strict upbringing, so she has never dated before. She's a decent girl! you'd better be more serious! Our family has been through a lot recently, Frederick. Even though your father is hospitalized, he is still thinking about your marriage! It's high twe have sgood news in the family! I'm not forcing you to get married or forget about her. But you have to move on. You don't have to like Regina, but you can't refuse to at least get to know her..." He did not look like a normal person at all in his current state. He had abandoned himself to despair! He was moving backward, and he was beginning to act more like Trevor She did not want to see her e grandchildren becplayboys one by one. She also wondered if she could still have a normal granddaughter-in-law at this age.
Mrs. Clements felt helpless! "Grandma, I already have someone I like!" While he was debating whether to say Misty or Alicia, Mrs. Clements's face suddenly fell.
"Don't tellit's Faye or sother celebrity or socialite! And that
Yasmine took What kind of people are they?! They are either working in clubs or show-biz. Their morality aside, even their faces are fake, Who knows what your children will look yo like in the future? I won't agree! The Clark family is a family of scholars, and Miss Clark is an only child. I've asked about her upbringing and personality. All you have to do tonight. is to be conscientious..." "Grandma..." "Forget it! You have to cooperate! Cough..."
Once Mrs. Clements beat her chest due to discomfort, Frederick's m intention to explain als stopped immediately. Then, he sat down on the sofa. Except for talking less, he could be considered to be extremely cooperative! In the living room, after sitting down and eating sfruit, Mrs. Clements said,
"Frederick, I want to have a chat with Mrs. Clark. You youngsters do not donat have to accompany us. Go ahead and take Miss Clark for a walk around in the courtyard!" "Go ahead! Go ahead! Regina likes to take night strolls. Isn't night jogging popular now? It's peaceful!" Frederick was bored to death anyway, and now that they were being chased out, they went out of the door one after another...
