Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Chapter 71

Jeremy?

She subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, but halfway through, she suddenly stopped. Instead, she reached out and held on to Frederick's clothes tightly.

Why should she restrain herself in front of Jeremy?

After that, she fixed her gaze on Frederick. However, she did not know that her subconscious action had saved her life.

At this time, the door of the elevator opened. Frederick turned slightly and wrapped his arm around her waist.

Then, the two of them entered the elevator.

The door slowly closed. Only then did he let go of her.

When she returned to her senses, she held his arm and said, "Hubby, it's not that I didn't listen to you. I wasn't trying to make you mad either! Weren't you on a business trip? While I was alone at home, I could not help myself but overthink..."

"I was afraid that I might disturb you. Thus, I came out with Vicki! I thought that I could do something good and get some money too. That was why I went up on stage!" she explained.

She continued, "Hubby, I really did not want to embarrass you, nor did I want to make trouble for you! I know that you are very capable, but 300,000

dollars is not a small amount. Your money did not fall from the sky, did it? You are so hardworking, and you even need to go on business trips. I just wanted to do something charitable, am I not right?"

"Hubby, can you not be angry with me?"

Along the way, she didn't stop talking, but Frederick didn't utter a word either. To be honest, he actually missed her chattering voice very much.

When they left the hotel, Alicia hugged him again. "Hubby, can't you forgive me this one time? Hmm?"

She tugged on his clothes and slightly raised her chin to rub his arms. She looked so well-behaved, so much so that it made him feel pity for her!

Although he was much more at ease, he was still able to see through her thoughts.

"What are you talking about? Were you there to hang out or were you there for the reward? Is the reward that attractive? Are you that short of money?" He glanced at her and said.

According to Chet, her salary was not considered low. Had she said that she did not have enough money to spend in the past, he could understand her. However, ever since last month, he had asked others to send her new clothes, shoes, and hats regularly. He even gave her 30,000 dollars this month. In addition to her salary and bonus, what could she possibly buy to spend all her money on before the end of the month?

"It's indeed not enough!" she said.

At that moment, Alicia had obviously hesitated. She did not know whether she should talk about her father's situation. However, her pride prevented her from wanting other people to sympathize with her. Moreover, she did not want him to feel like she only wanted more money from him.

He giving her money willingly was totally different than having her ask for it!

She paused for a while, and Frederick seemed to understand her. He asked, "I did not see you buying anything expensive! Where is your money? Where did you spend it on?"

Hopefully, she wasn't cheated out of her money!

"It was the birthday of a very important friend of mine. I gave her a pair of earrings. It was somewhat expensive!" Alicia replied. Seeing that she had no choice left, she could only make up an excuse.

She just needed to get past this obstacle first! Otherwise, things wouldn't end well for her!

He seemed to have accepted her explanation and tapped her forehead.

"From now on, I'll give you 30,000 dollars per month! If you overspend, just let me know. Don't try to get money by doing these, and don't attract other people's attention!" he said.

When he thought about those two men who knew her identity and bid competitively for her, it annoyed him for some reason. No matter how much he wanted to repudiate it, he could not deny that this woman, who had given him her innocence, was different from the rest!

Seeing his softened attitude, Alicia nodded. "Alright, as long as you are not angry!"

Due to the sudden increase in her income, the burden of her father's medical expenses on her was greatly reduced. Although this made her feel somewhat bad, she could no longer care about her own feelings at present.

They had just gotten married, and he could not bear to treat her badly. Hence, Frederick hugged her and they got into the car. They snuggled up sweetly, not realizing that they have started to see each other as someone important.

Jeremy followed them all the way out to the entrance of the hotel. He watched them leave and stood there for a long time.

That night, Alicia was almost 'tortured' to death by Frederick. When the next daylight shone, her legs were still visibly shaking.

When she arrived at the company, she was still wondering to herself: How long has he been this deprived?

As soon as she sat down, she heard her colleague's screams from afar. "Look, what a shocking piece of news! Master Clements spent 300,000 dollars to have a beautiful woman dance with him-"

"What? Who? Which supermodel did he dance with?"

"To h*ll with the media saying that he does not get close to women. Obviously, he just hasn't met the right person. Look at him, he showed his true personality in an instant! It even says here that she was taken away on the spot!" "He is so handsome and bold. Even if he does not give me money, I would have gone with him!"

Alicia was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. She thought, "Was I photographed?"

Fortunately, at this time, Miriam sighed--

"It's a pity that this woman's face was blocked! What kind of woman would have such a charm to be able to tackle Master Clements?"

"Didn't you read the following post? Some sloppy men were shouting that they wanted to bring her back and that they regretted not bidding for her! They said that she was such a beauty that it would make anyone tempted!" This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

"I see it now! She has curves and her waist is slim too. Her skin is fair and she has beautiful long legs... They said that it would even be worth it to be choked to death by her legs! It's so funny!"

"Do you think there is such a woman in this world? I want to see how perfect she is with my own eyes! It's obvious that they are just h*rny! They can't even be compared with Master Clements. He can defeat them with his wealth!"

As she looked down, Alicia's face suddenly darkened as she thought, "D*mn, what the hell is going on?"

She was on her nerves all day. Fortunately, nothing strange happened. No matter how hot this topic was, she was only described as a "mysterious woman". As long as she was not exposed in the photo, she could keep her worries away!

Before getting off work, Alicia received a verification call from the person in charge. As expected, Alicia's mood was elevated after learning that the reward will be delivered to her.

After hanging up the phone, she sent a message to Victoria to inform her.

She only received Victoria's reply after work. However, it was completely different from what she expected. [There's something that I want to tell you, but I don't know if I should let you know. Jeremy is about to be engaged, do you know that?]

Alicia was stunned for two seconds. After a while, she replied, [He has nothing to do with me!]

After exchanging a few lines, they ended their chat. Alicia's mood was more or less affected when she exited her office building. Victoria's words kept echoing in the back of her head.

"Ally, ask yourself, have you really let him go? Is the life you have right now the life you really want? What about your future? Don't regret your choices when it is too late! If you are unsure, why don't you give yourself another chance to buy some time? Don't act on impulse!" Victoria texted her this earlier on.

Alicia asked herself over and over again, but before she could find the answer, a red invitation card came into her sight!
