Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Chapter 57

Noticing Hallie's arrogant and disdainful stare, Alicia secretly poked Frederick.

She didn't know why he was acting this way. He had been naughty since he was in the room. He was then caught and was being laughed at at the moment!

At first, she just wanted to remind him. After all, she was not familiar with Hallie. Thus, she did not intend to take the initiative to greet her. However, Hallie seemed to be intended to block her way.

Frederick turned around calmly. Suddenly, he said coldly, "Are you mute?"

Alicia was shocked and thought that he was talking to her. The moment she looked up, Alicia finally knew what it meant to be the most arrogant person in the family. Compared to him, Hallie was nothing.

At this time, Frederick put one hand in his pocket and the other around her waist. His narrowed eyes were not only high and mighty but also arrogant. He was openly looking for trouble!

This was not his style! What was going on?

When she came back last time, she could feel that he was not in a good relationship with this family, but he was just indifferent all the time. However, he was acting a little abnormal now! RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Seeing that Hallie's face had suddenly changed, Alicia also got a little nervous.

When the tension was on the verge of reaching its maximum, Hallie unexpectedly took a step forward and lowered her head. "Good morning, Frederick!"

It was as if a century had passed before she reluctantly said, "Good morning, Alicia!"

As if she saw a ghost, Alicia was shocked for a little while. She subconsciously turned to look at Frederick until he nodded.

"Morning!" Alicia replied.

Then, they entered the dining hall one after another.

Although the Clements family regarded rules with great importance, their breakfast time was very casual and did not require it to be on time. Everyone just came and ate before nine o'clock. However, at the table, they were all very disciplined while eating.

Hallie and her mother purposely came at the same time as Frederick and Alicia. Coincidentally, Mr. Clements had returned in the morning and the whole family sat down at the table.

Since Frederick wanted to have breakfast at home, Alicia could only accompany him. When breakfast was served, she took a few slices of toast and some milk.

She didn't realize that Frederick had deliberately left a hickey on her neck when they were sleeping together the night before. Therefore, she was confused when she was being looked at quite a few times during the meal. She didn't know that the two women in front of her were more anxious than she was. They didn't know what to do!

When they were almost done, Mr. Clements said, "When will the wedding be held? If you are busy, I can help with the preparations!"

Swallowing the toast, Alicia almost choked. If they held a wedding, would she still have a way out?

Setting down his fork, Frederick obviously didn't appreciate his father's offer. "I'll invite you when I have planned it!"

"Frederick, I'm just worried about you! Do you want to wait for the child to be born before holding a wedding ceremony? Now that you are married, you should give her a proper wedding," Mr. Clements said.

He spoke earnestly, and he even sounded like he was pleading.

"You don't have to worry about it! My child will certainly be born right and proper!" Frederick answered. "Moreover, he will be born into a happy family. Otherwise, I would never let him come into this world," he added these words inwardly.

It was obvious that Frederick's attitude had suddenly changed. The air seemed to have frozen in an instant. Alicia clearly sensed hatred. Seeing that their relationship was stiff, she did not dare to speak.

At this time, Penny kicked Hallie with her leg under the table. Hallie stood up abruptly and hit the table. She accidentally flung a spoon stained with sauce at Frederick when she raised her hand.

She said, "You've gone too far! How can you treat Dad like this? Luckily, Dad loves you so much and cares about you. We are not your employees. Don't you know how to be polite?"

Seeing that Frederick's shirt was splashed with sauce, Alicia quickly took a tissue to wipe it as she said, "Hubby!"

Frederick tilted his eyes to the other side, and then his eyes fell on his father. "Is this what you called manners?"

At this instant, Penny quickly got up and was the first to rebuke, "Halley, what are you doing? Don't make trouble. Apologize to your brother now!"

"I didn't do anything wrong! I'm just defending Dad!"

"Halley!" Mr. Clements glared at her daughter and didn't say anything more. He then softened his voice and said, "Stop talking. Let's eat!"

"Dad, you've spoiled him too much. That's why he has become so fearless!" Hallie said.

She seemed to be very angry as she roared. She grabbed the fork and smashed them on the ground.

"Halley"

Mr. Clements was also annoyed by then. He only felt that she was making a huge fuss. Although Frederick was not hit, he was splashed with a lot of sauce. Alicia was shocked. She also stood up and instinctively wiped it for him.

Everyone else also stood up. At this time, Hallie pushed the chair away and stormed towards the door. When walking past Alicia, she deliberately approached her.

"It's clear that you all are biased. I didn't do anything wrong!" Hallie said coldly.

She grabbed a piece of bread and raised her hand again. This time, in fact, her movements were very light. Everyone subconsciously leaned aside to avoid it, Alicia even wanted to hold Frederick tightly to protect him. Hallie took the opportunity to slip a pill into Alicia's glass of milk.

In the end, she grabbed the piece of bread and went out.

Mr. Clements ggot furious instantly. "This child has been spoiled by you!"

Penny also nodded quickly.

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault! Frederick, I'm sorry, don't be angry with her. She has had some relationship problems recently, thus, she's being very impatient. Please forgive her!" Penny said.

Then, she looked at Mr. Clements pitifully and pleaded. He could only say to Frederick, "Go and change your clothes!"

As soon as Frederick got up, Alicia followed him.

Penny hurriedly said, "Alicia, you didn't eat much! Drink the milk! I'll ask someone to prepare some snacks later. Just tell me what you want to eat!"

As Alicia was in a hurry to head out with Frederick, she didn't think much about it. It was uncomfortable to be choked by the bread earlier on too. Moreover, at this time, she had to show Penny some respect. She drank the milk and followed Frederick out.

Frederick went back and changed his clothes, but Alicia felt that Frederick was obviously a little distant.

Inadvertently, she felt something wrong with her ankle. Suddenly, an idea came to her, "Was it because of her that he picked a fight with Hallie?" Without saying anything, she hugged him tightly from behind. Although she didn't know why he was being so abnormal, she trusted him!

Frederick's mood seemed to calm down in an instant. He said softly, "It's really a mess here! It's time for us to go home!"

The purpose of doing so was to let Hallie realize the reality and that she would behave. However, he didn't expect all that to happen.

Alicia nodded. In fact, she didn't like this place very much either!

They held each other's hand and walked out. Neither of them had expected that there would be a hidden danger in this incident.
