Chapter 135
Holding the bathrobe, Hannah felt extremely embarrassed.
"Frederick... I don't know why I did that! I watched a series and there was an outstanding hero. I imagined you as the hero. I felt that it helps me with my acting skills..."
It was all because of Hallie. Hallie called her out of the blue and complained to her. After talking for a while, she fed Hannah some strange ideas, wanting her to test Frederick so that at least, she could make sure of his feelings for her before making her move.
"I don't know what triggered the cat as it kept on making trouble. It even broke a lot of my things and smashed my phone. My vintage gramophone had been ruined too... I didn't know why I called you."
Looking at the mess on the ground, there were indeed a few pieces of paper scattered on one side and there was a script on the other side. Frederick did not believe it, but since she said so, he had to follow along.
"It's alright! Tidy up and rest early!"
As soon as Frederick turned around, Hannah went forward and grabbed him. "Frederick..."
"Since you are here, have a drink before you leave!"
Frederick pushed her hand away and replied indifferently, "It's too late!"
Stepping forward, Hannah hugged him with all her courage.
"Frederick, the reason why you are willing to come here is that you are worried and you care for me, right? Don't you understand my feelings for you? I don't want to be treated as your sister just because of my relationship with my cousin! Frederick, can you stay here tonight?"
Frederick frowned and looked at her coldly, "Hannah, can't you see the change of color in my eyes?"
Shocked by his hostility, she let go of him subconsciously.
"I don't care!"
Of course, she saw it! But, it didn't matter, did it? This only showed that he had slept with a virgin. She didn't care about sharing him with others! She was a virgin too. But, she was confident and not afraid of losing! She will not lose!
"But, I care! If you are not Danica's cousin or my so-called sister, I won't even bother to look at you! I don't like women, especially when they take the initiative to come onto me! You are a noble lady, don't make yourself look cheap!"
Frederick's words were merciless. Hannah had never been turned down so cruelly before. Hence, tears escaped her eyes and rolled down her cheeks in an instant.
"Are you admitting the fact that you still like my cousin Danica? What about that woman you slept with? What's the difference between her and me?
Why can't I be the one? Is... is she the woman who changed your eyes?"
Was it just because that woman was lucky to be first to get that opportunity?
What on earth was he talking about when he said he didn't like women? He kissed a woman on the street! In fact, she still didn't understand what he meant.
He would take the initiative for the woman that he liked!
"Danica is not the same! She is way different! Don't waste your time on me! Hannah, I will never be merciful to any woman! If you still want to be my sister, I will treat you to dinner the next time when you are here! Otherwise--"
After giving her a long meaningful look, Frederick turned around and left. His steps were somewhat a little lonely, then he uttered, "Remember to lock the door."
He started the engine and drove for a distance, but Frederick halted out of the blue. He took out a cigarette and lit it up. The white smoke swirled around him and his face faintly showed a bittersweet smile.
"Danica!" he murmuered.
He shut his eyes, but the blurry image was replaced by another clear, angry, and gorgeous face. He suddenly opened his eyes and put out the cigarette in his hand.
"Oh, no! Alicia..."
Starting the engine, he stepped on the gas right
away.
At this time, in private room No. 7, Alicia was squinting and her mind was empty. No one knew what she was thinking for a long time.
It was not until her arm that was supporting her forehead was sore that she looked at the time. It was half past ten already? If it was a normal hotel, it should have been closed a long time ago!
She knew that he would not come back!
She laughed at herself for waiting that long. She was speechless. The scene where she was abandoned by Jeremy at the wedding was floating in her mind.
In the past, she used to have a clear intuition, but she still had hope for her wedding.
All her hopes shattered and her broken heart was instantly crushed into pieces.
She had promised herself that for the rest of her life, she would not be abandoned for the second time!
She clenched her fists and adjusted her breathing. Alicia calmly raised her hand and spoke, "Waiter, bill please..."
As soon as she took out her wallet, what the waiter said made her fuming with anger. She wanted to curse. "How much is it again?"
"Miss, it will be eight thousand and eight hundred dollars!"
What the f*ck! It was just a meal, yet it cost about almost half of her month's salary? "Frederick, I hate you!" She cursed him several times in her heart.
"Can I use a credit card?" Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
The waiter lowered his head as he was a little helpless. "Master Clements can..."
The implication was that Alicia couldn't do that!
Alicia bombarded the waiter with questions before reluctantly taking out her card and handed it to him.
When she walked out of the hotel, she was mad. That b*stard! Why did he bring her to a place so far away? She even got stood up and she even had to take a cab back!
At the thought of spending tens of dollars again, Alicia only felt that this meal made her exasperated all over. She was enraged to the core.
As soon as she jumped into the taxi, she didn't notice that her phone was ringing in her bag.
"Sorry. The person you have called cannot be reached. Please call again later. Sorry..."
Frederick was so anxious at the fact that he couldn't get in touch with her. He was not sure whether she had gone home. Therefore, he had to go to Seventh Hotel.
When he walked to the door of the private room, he saw that the waiter had already opened the window and was cleaning the room up. He did not stop. He turned around and strode out again. Again, he made another call, but no one answered.
Frederick vaguely knew that he was inexcusable this time.
If something really happened to Hannah, it would be easier for him to explain, but it turned out to be a prank! If he told Alicia this, there would be no trust between them anymore.
After getting into the car, he stepped on the gas and rushed home.
When he entered the house, it was nearly 12 o'clock. He saw a figure on the bed as soon as he entered the room.
He walked forward and gazed at her sleeping face for quite some time. Frederick stroked her soft hair and bowed his head to kiss her forehead as an apology. Then, he quietly took his pajamas and went into the bathroom.
With the sound of running water, Alicia slowly opened her eyes while clenching the sheets under her body with her hands before gradually dozing off again.
