Chapter 895
He was nervous as he checked the time. Then, he picked up his phone and video called Alicia.
Alicia had apparently gone emotional while waiting for his call. Just as she was wondering if she should call him, her phone rang. When she pressed the answer button, her face became grim. In an instant, Frederick's heart started to race again.
"Ally, I..."
"Why did you call so late? You don't love me anymore!"
She roared angrily, with a hint of coquetry. Her words made Frederick let out a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to say something, he changed his mind.
He explained, "I'm sorry. Something happened at the company and I went to a meeting early in the morning. I didn't see your messages. How could I possibly not love you? It hurts so much to hear you say that. My heart is about to break..."
"Please don't be angry with me. It's already so late. Why haven't you slept yet?"
Although he would occasionally behave so sweetly when they were together, whenever he did so, nine out of ten times was because he made her angry. Alicia was inexplicably surprised hearing him saying this.
She giggled and said, 'I've been waiting for you, I was thinking whether I should call you again!. If I couldn't see you, I would not be at ease! You are my best remedy. Honey, you are a lot more gaunt. Didn't you rest well? Was work difficult to deal with?"
He knew that she was asking about official matters, but no matter how difficult it was, it couldn't compare to what he had to do for her. He replied, "I can deal with it, but..." He missed her so much!
The words were about to come out of his mouth. After hovering for a long time, Frederick still dared not to say it so he changed his words.
"I've been a bit busy lately, so I might not be able to reply or answer your calls in time. If there's anything you need but couldn't find me, you can always call Chet!"
Once he began his trip with Danica, he wouldn't have the freedom to contact her so frequently anymore. It was better to reduce contact with her at this time.
"Okay..."
Alicia nodded and smiled, saying, "I understand.
Don't worry about me! I'll be back in two days!"
"What?"
Frederick let out a cry in surprise. He almost jumped up before he realized something, and then he hurriedly said,
"I mean, has Dad completed his physiotherapy? I was planning to pick you up after I finish my work, then we can have a family trip! After all, I've been absent for so long. I'm not being as dutiful as I should be..."
How could she be coming back so quickly? Didn't he tell Nicholas to stall her for at least two weeks, and for three weeks to one month if possible?NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
If she came back now...
In a moment of panic, Frederick's heart began to beat like a drum and his palms began to break out in cold sweat.
Alicia noticed something was off in a flash. But before she could think further, it was already swept over.
"That's a good idea! Honey, you don't have to worry too much. My parents are very reasonable. I'll explain it to them for you! As long as you treat their precious daughter well, they won't take these trivial things to heart!"
"You don't even know what's on their mind. I can only call you secretly. Otherwise, Mom would be nagging me again if she hears me. She would say that I am not sensible enough to disturb your work..."
Alicia whispered softly, and her pleasant voice made Frederick feel better.
Hearing her speak was a different kind of enjoyment.
"But sure. I still have a few places to go. I'll explore those places first! Our family didn't have an actual family trip before. Although Dad can't walk for long distances, it's convenient to have a wheelchair and a car. When we return, I'll bring Grandma along. It'll be perfect!"
Alicia pictured a harmonious beautiful scenery of their family in her mind, and the smile on her face was warm.
"Well, give me ten days and I'll be done with my work. By then, I'll pick you up by plane, so you won't have to bother to buy tickets. Ally, take care of yourself over there too, you hear me? Did you tell anyone your address over there?"
Although he had bought a house over there, it was more convenient to stay at Marshall's villa as it was closer to the sanatorium. In order to stay away from the public's eyes, he had deliberately bought a house on the other side, which was adittle far away from the sanatorium.
Looking at the decoration of the house she was in, Frederick believed that she was in Marshall's villa.
"No, I didn't. Dad undergoes physical
therapy every three days. We have been living here recently. Marshall's villa has almost become our new home, but I told him that our
has a room for him. If somethi
happens, he can stay there. He doesn't mind anyway."
Speaking of Marshall, Alicia was also full of gratitude. She didn't expect that she would meet such a lifesaver with an interlude. All these years, it was all thanks to him!
Marshall was also a friend of her life. Unfortunately, she couldn't give him anything in return. It seemed that he had accepted this kind of relationship. Who said that a man and woman couldn't have a pure friendship?
In her heart, Alicia could feel that their friendship was pure, similar to or even exceeding family affection. Sometimes, human feelings were really fascinating.
"Great. Stay there and wait for me to pick you up!" As long as she did not come back, Frederick had nothing to worry about.
"By the way, have you seen the photo I sent you? Is Danica getting married? Do you know what's going on?" She was curious as to why the man in the photos looked so similar to Frederick.
Just as Frederick thought he had already fooled her, she unexpectedly turned the subject back to this and he was afraid to lie to her. Frederick was silent for a moment before he asked,
"Who sent you the photos?"
"Huh?"
Alicia instantly panicked as she stuttered in response. After all, the relationship between her and Jeremy was more or less the same as Frederick and Danica. She
scratched her head and he came
all of a
sudden, she did not want to talk
about this anymore because it would ruin the atmosphere. Content
She then said with a laugh, "Um... Linda sent them to me. She's one of my friends. I don't know where she saw them and sent them to me. She said the man looked like you!"
Alicia stuck out her tongue and suddenly felt a little guilty. She grumbled internally, "Well, if I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have sent him the photo and asked him that!"
"Ally, don't worry about the fake news. You just need to remember that I love you. No matter what I do, I will only do it for you. I won't do anything to hurt you. Do you still remember the Clements family's rules?"
"Of course. It says you can't divorce after getting married, or you'll be punished! This means I'll be your wife for the rest of your life! If you dare to do anything to hurt me, I'll torture you for a lifetime! Hahaha..."
She made a scratching gesture and giggled.
"Well, I would like to be tortured by you. Remember what I said today. It's getting late now. You should get some rest!"
"Honey..." Alicia raised her hand and gently touched his cheek on the screen. Suddenly, she felt a bit reluctant to part with him.
"Be a good girl. You must have a good rest, okay? Don't make me worry about you!" Frederick was always concerned about her health.
As soon as Frederick's tone became stern, Alicia immediately restrained her joking expression.
"Yes, I know. You should take care of your health as well. Eat well and take good care of yourself! I will check when I return! Good night, Honey."
Waving her hand, Alicia made a kissing gesture with noises.
Frederick was also reluctant to end the call. In an instant, a lump formed in his throat. He said, "Good night, Ally..."
"What's that?"
"I love you..."
