Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Chapter 291

"I told you to come and you didn't! Miss Blanchard is here in East Bannpool. She just arrived at the door. I wonder if she's meeting a friend or if she's coming over for something. Well, she's alone now..."

"I've taken the contract and I have to go to the airport! I don't have time to keep an eye on her for you. It looks like she just got here." "Come on over! I'm leaving."

After reporting, Roy even paused for a few minutes to make sure that the woman was indeed Alicia before hanging up the phone.

Just as the car left, Frederick came back with Alicia's cell phone. He then hugged her and they walked toward the private room.

Just as Frederick pushed open one of the doors to East Bannpool, the noisy conversation in the room rattled to a halt. Several people stood up. "Frederick, we've been waiting for you!"

"Yes, Danica heard that you were coming and even skipped her dinner reception. Frederick, you're really influential!”

The one who spoke was Shaun Jerald of the Jerald family, who was a few years younger than everyone else present. He was a classmate of Kaylee's and had a good relationship with Carson. He often mingled in their circle. Even after many years, their relationship remained good.

At that moment, Danica, who was sitting in the corner, also stood up. She was wearing a party dress with a gold sequined skirt that sparkled. Her makeup was thick and exquisite. It was really outstanding.

"Oh, Shaun, you're just making fun of me! I heard Carson landed a big deal and I'm happy for him, hence I came over to congratulate him. Besides, my dad has not been feeling well lately. I thought it would be nice to come and talk to Carson..."

Her words were a logical way to clarify that her arrival had nothing to do with Frederick. Because she was a guest, Carson wasn't able to comment on her. He even especially ordered two chaperones to sing with her.

What Danica was up to was only too evident. Right then, Shaun chuckled. "l understand! I understand! Who wouldn't know that Danica and Mr. Clements-"

Cnly had eyes for each other!

Just as he was joking, he looked up and saw another woman behind the door, tugging on Frederick's sleeve. Shaun's voice stopped as if he had been smothered with a stick.

Since both Frederick and the door obscured Alicia, the crowd noticed her presence only then. All eyes looked over at her in unison, as if they didn't expect Frederick to appear with a woman. At this point, everyone's expression changed.

Alicia and Frederick didn't expect Danica to be there as well. It was a coincidence. They both had a moment of bewilderment Frederick then pulled Alicia over and held her before walking in. "Sorry, we just got stuck in traffic after dinner. That's why we arrived a little late."

With Alicia seated beside him, Frederick naturally put his arm around her waist. "I didn't realize that so many people would be in attendance. I was afraid that my wife, Alicia, would be bored by herself, therefore I brought her out. You guys don't mind, do you?"

"Wife?" After exclaiming, Shaun glanced back at Danica before he hurriedly smiled. "Of course! Of course! The more people, the merrier!" Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, he hurriedly changed the subject.

"Carson, I heard that you will be the exclusive agent of a vaccine and also invested in improving the research and development project, which specializes in the prevention and treatment of cerebral palsy, cerebral bruises, and other brain diseases. I heard that one injection is worth tens of thousands of dollars. You have made more than a billion dollars in the initial stage, the follow-up is sure to be immeasurable! Are you bringing home a mountain of gold and silver?”

"Yeah. I'm out to have fun today, let's not talk about that. Frederick's treating us tonight, thus if you want to drink anything good, order it! Let's bring out Frederick's wine collection! You won't have such a good opportunity after today.”

With that, Carson drained his wine, and only then'did the atmosphere gradually corre alive. Alicia was reluctant tocome and didn't plan to stay longrbut once she saw Danica, Aliciachanged her mind. She knew exactly what was going on. kence, ungonscious y, she leaned close to Frederick and put a smile-on her face, which had been missing all night.

Some ordered food and drinks, while others sang. As the crowd was chatting, someone started to pour the wine.

Feeling a little thirsty, Alicia picked up a glass of red wine. But when she took a sip, she choked. The more she held it in without wanting to lose face. the harder she coughed. As a result, the whole atmosphere was made awkward by her coughing.

‘Ahem-" "Are you okay? Why are you so careless?"Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

As Frederick patted her back, he saw that her face was red. Shaking her head repeatedly, she couldn't say anything as if she was in pain. Just then, Frederick gazed over at the waiter at the side and slipped him some money.

"She can't drink. Get me two cartons of milk. Make it the best!"

Several men looked at each other in confusion when they watched Frederick care so much about the woman beside him. And inthe © opposite torner of the couch, even though'Danica had companions besitle her, the smile on her face was ruined beyond recognition. She squeezed her handbag s6 hard she almost damaged it. Content belongs to

Soan, the waiter returned with two cartons of milk and poured them into disposable paper cups. After Alicia drank two cups of milk, her breathing calmed down

Several men chatted and drank while the chaperone sang. Only then did the atmosphere began to warm up. When it came to business, the men's conversation became serious, and the women did not interfere. Therefore, all Alicia could do was quietly sip her milk, staying by Frederick's side.

Beautiful women were natural enemies, not to mention a man's old and new love. Unconsciously, Alicia and Danica's eyes would meet. Although it was a brief meeting, it was also fiery...

Although Frederick had been behaving well and had been sitting intimately next to Alicia, not even taking the initiative to talk to Danica, Alicia could feel Danica's eyes on her. Danica did not behave like she was here for another reasoptas she mentioned because her eyes apparently never left Frederick.

Still, Alicia felt happy that night. She was glad that she had followed him here even though she was bored, only sitting there awkwardly!

She and Frederick weren't embarrassed to interact in front of so many people, not to mention that Frederick had acknowledged her in public. Alicia couldn't stand the boredom and tugged Frederick's hand, leaning into his ear as he bowed his head.

"Hubby, I feel so bored. I'm going to watch some dancing in the hall!" Danica’s presence, too, made Frederick feel uncomfortable. Lifting his hand, he then pinched Alicia's cheek.

"Go find a seat at the bar. Don't wander around. I'll have someone watch you! Once you've seen enough, come back. We'll head home once I'm done talking."

"Okay!"

The two whispered and leaned very close to each other. Just then, the music in the private room was deafening. In the eyes of outsiders, the two of them were looking intimate

Soan, Alicia got up and headed for the door, while Frederick beckoned the waiter and gave a few orders. Having seen that, Carson asked, "Frederick, did we bore her away?" "She's wild and can't sit still." He chuckled.

Frederick's words and actions were all indulgent, doting, and overwhelmingly affectionate.
