Chapter 111
After taking the phone from him, Alicia was shocked. "Hubby, why did you scold him? He is my colleague from the company next door! You are going to offend him!"
When Alicia was about to reply to him to make peace, Frederick grabbed her phone again as he said, "Stay away from this kind of scumbag in the future!"
While they were talking, another message popped up on her phone. [Who the hell are you? Are you the b*stard who 'can't do it'?]
Alicia's eyes widened after seeing what was on the screen. She thought to herself, "What's wrong with him? I have never told him that Frederick'can't do it'!"
Frederick blocked him straight away without replying to his text!
When he raised his head to look at Alicia, she had a nervous smile and was waving her hands in denial. "I've never said that!"
Holding his hand ingratiatingly, Alicia tried to offer an explanation.
"Hubby, don't be mad! He is the manager of the company next door. We met each other a few times. That's how we got to know each other. He is a scumbag. He always sleeps with women he met in the nightclub and brags about it. He even talks bad about his own wife, saying that she is leftover. In the end, his wife divorced him and married a tall, rich, and handsome man in an instant. Since then, he has been bragging every day that he will get a younger and prettier woman. In fact, we all feel disgusted behind his back. But since we have to cooperate with his company, we have to tolerate it in front of him. I feel like he has a thing for me. That's why I said it to get rid of his bad intentions."
Alicia hooked her arms around Frederick's neck and kissed him gently at the corner of his lips.
"My husband is not only handsome and tall, but he also earns a lot of money and dotes on me. You are the best! You are better than 99 percent of men in the whole world!"
Frederick hugged her slender waist and was pleased by her sweet words. He then questioned her jokingly, "What about the remaining 1 percent?"
Was there a man who she found to be better than him in her heart? She wouldn't leave a space in her heart for that scum at the door, would she?
"I have kept that one percent for you when you level up! If you are one hundred percent now, then you won't have the motivation to improve, right? My husband is still in a position to create miracles!"
Frederick's lips curled upwards into a smile as he tapped on her lips. "Well, you... are such a sweet talker!"
Frederick held her closer to him, then he lowered his head and kissed her gently. But, he paused for a while to tease her. Even with just a kiss, it made his heart pound enthusiastically that he almost couldn't control himself.
This alluring woman would get the better of him sooner or later!
Pinching her delicate chin, Frederick stated, "Rest early! Your health comes first! I will teach you a lesson after you recover!" Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
"Huh? Hubby-"
Flickering her long eyelashes, Alicia pouted her lips bitterly. It seemed to her that he was going to settle accounts with her eventually, thus she could only wait!
Frederick touched her unkempt hair dotingly as he placed her head down on the pillow. "Close your eyes and sleep! Don't think about anything!"
Lying in bed with her eyes closed, Alicia was smiling sweetly from ear to ear. After tucking her into bed, Frederick was about to get up but his hand was held by someone.
"Hubby, you won't leave me alone, will you? Will they kick me out of the room when you are not here? I don't think I can sleep well on this bed..."
"She has slept for a long time and yet she still says that she can't sleep well on this bed?" he thought.
Frederick lifted a corner of his mouth as a grin appeared on his face. When their eyes met, Alicia knew what was in his mind. She pulled the quilt and stuck out her tongue embarrassedly.
Frederick stroked her hair tenderly, but he didn't expose her thoughts. He walked to the side of the bed and uttered, "I won't go anywhere tonight! I'll sleep with you. I will get back to work when you fall asleep."
After giving him half of the space on the bed, Alicia smiled like a Cheshire cat. Frederick lifted her up to let her lay in his embrace. After that, Alicia held his waist tightly.
"Goodnight, Hubby!"
Leaning against his chest with satisfaction, she had found a comfortable position to sleep in. Alicia held him in her arms and dozed off right away.
Frederick maintained the same posture until he had heard a steady breathing sound from her. He removed his numb arm gently while fixing his gaze on the sleeping lady in front of him.
It had never occurred to Frederick that there would be a woman who would appear in his life in such a way. But, at this moment, he felt good.
He slowly grabbed her hand that was on his waist and gently stroked it. Then, he placed her hand under the quilt.
Although sometimes she would make him mad or speak in a coquettish manner.it could be seen that in fact, she was a strong woman. She was stronger than she looked!
He had a feeling... that she was a good woman after all!
This was the conclusion that Frederick had made about her in his mind.
Frederick's heart softened while caressing her smooth cheeks. However, out of the blue, he seemed to have thought of something and took out his cell phone. He then walked out of the door.
"Chet, do me a favor..." Alicia stayed in the hospital for about half a month due to her health condition. She didn't know whether it was a blessing in disguise, but it was indeed the only time off she had in the past three years.
After getting her discharged from the hospital, Frederick went back to work in the company. Whereas for Alicia, she was forced to rest at home. During the day, she secretly did some work to earn some extra income. Hence, whenever Frederick came to check on her, she would throw on an act.
She took some time to translate two documents one day. Just when Alicia was about to click on the save button, her phone that was placed on the table rang. When she answered the phone, she clicked on a video website on her computer too.
She muttered, "Hubby-"
"What are you doing?"
Alicia stretched and deliberately spoke with a nasal voice, "Well, didn't you want me to have a rest? I just woke up and I am about to watch a video to destress!"
On the other end, Frederick's lips twitched slightly as he averted his gaze from the documents. "You're being so obedient. What movie are you watching?"
He had seen tons of lazy women and it was rare to see such a young and beautiful girl that worked hard like her! Whenever he checked on her, he always felt that she was not as well-behaved as she seemed!
"Huh?" With a cry of surprise, Alicia rushed to look at the website page. She glanced at it and replied to him casually.
"Fifty Shades of Grey! An international movie!"
She didn't notice that the title was actually "Fifty Snipes of Grey". As she always enjoyed watching action movies, she thought she would enjoy watching this movie.
"Fifty Shades of Grey? Are you sure?" he asked. Wasn't that an erotic film that was released a few years ago?
"Yeah! It's a great movie!" Without any doubt, Alicia answered while nodding a few times.
Frederick chuckled and replied, "Well, it's not bad! I didn't expect you to like this kind of movie! Tell me about it when I get home. Maybe next time we can watch it together!"
Although Alicia sensed that something was wrong, she didn't take it to heart. Instead, she replied, "Alright! Hubby, since I'm so well-behaved, can I go out later to have dinner with Mom?" "Go ahead! Tell me about the movie tonight when you are back!"
