Chapter 759
Her eyes paused for a moment. Seeing her look like she was on the verge of dying, a sense of sympathy rose in her chest. Lindsay leaned to one side and sat down. They sat together side by side. Hugging her knees too, no one spoke.
Then, a familiar voice suddenly came from the corridor, "I don't care, how can you do this?"
Talking to Frederick on the phone, Alicia was still very angry. Her good mood on that day was once again ruined by him. She stood still and wanted to stomp her feet.
"I just want to eat the grilled fish from Oriental Restaurant! You've postponed our plans for a few days already!"
How would it taste the same if it was made at home? Of course, she knew they could make it at home! She was so annoyed! When she thought of the fish, the glutton in her started to growl, and she almost drooled.
"Forget about it! I shouldn't have waited for you, then I... You must have something to do again tomorrow! I'll go by myself!"
On the other end of the phone, glancing at the time, Frederick could feel the grievance in Alicia's tone. He immediately turned his car around and coaxed her.
"Okay, okay! Don't be angry. Then, why don't we go today? I'll go to the hospital to pick you up later. Oriental Restaurant is a little far away, so let's go earlier!"
"Send me your location! Don't be angry, hmm?"
After comforting her for a while more on the phone, Frederick shook his head and said,
He must be bored out of his mind, if not, why did he call her and make her angry for no reason? Her recent temper was so easily triggered, and she was always in a foul mood.
He scrolled over the contact list on his phone and dialled another number. "Mr. Clark, I'm sorry. I have something to do at night, and I might not be able to make it tonight. Is it convenient to change the date for the survey?"
After arranging the work matters on hand, Frederick made another call to Chet. He basically had not stopped making phone calls throughout the whole journey.
Fortunately, everything was moved around smoothly. In less than ten minutes, Frederick arrived at the entrance of the hospital.
Meanwhile, Alicia was still standing in the same spot, replying to both work and private text messages. She had no time to attend to the dinner arrangement for the night.
As soon as she finished replying, she looked up and saw Frederick already standing in front of her. It was just three o'clock, so Alicia felt a little guilty unknowingly. Seeing her pouting her lips unhappily, he almost simultaneously raised his hand and poked her in the forehead.
"I'll take you to eat! Don't bicker! You're becoming more and more headstrong, almost like an ignorant child!"
He used to think that she was easy and not picky. Unsure of what was wrong with her those two days, and she just oddly had a craving for grilled fish, which had to be from the "Oriental Restaurant". It was even not good enough to invite chefs to come and cook at home. It was either because there was a lack of atmosphere, or the fish was different. Otherwise, she would just say that the variety of seasonings was not comprehensive enough, or that the spatula wasn't decent enough. Anyway, it was not the same taste!
She lowered her head slightly and muttered softly, "You were the one who stopped me from going there on my own to eat it, and you have postponed our plans for a few days now! You've broken your
promise..."
She didn't know what was going on with her, but in the past few days, she even dreamed of eating that fish! Although she was not short of money, but she really just couldn't bring herself to go to the restaurant alone and just order one fish dish. Furthermore, Victoria was sick. She wanted to ask her brother or Caroline along initially, but Frederick stopped her halfway. In the end, he just kept postponing the plan!
However, thinking about it, it seemed a little too dramatic for her to lose her temper with him just over a meal. So, after pulling at his clothes, Alicia looked a little apologetic and coy.
Frederick hugged her and laughed. "I'm not angry with you. Didn't I just discuss it with you? Recently, your temper has been getting worse and worse. You get angry over the smallest matters!"
She wouldn't even allow him to speak!
"Hubby, it's your fault for spoiling me so much! Let's forget about it today. I'll definitely improve my temper in the future and restrain myself more... Let's go and have a look at Victoria, and then we can go and eat the fish!"
"Okay..."
He held her in his arms and they walked together side by side while talking and laughing.
In the corridor, the two's light laughter felt like a mockery to her as Danica listened to the conversation between them. She clenched her skirt so tightly that it wrinkled, and Lindsay instantly gritted her teeth so hard that cracking sounds could be heard. At the moment when their eyes met, a dangerous glint flashed through them...
In the quaint Oriental Restaurant, the two of them chose an intricately designed booth, which was beautiful and secluded. The melodious Chinese orchestral music, together with the beautiful scenery of lotus flowers, created a magnificent oriental atmosphere.
Soon, the appetizers were served. When the special grilled fish was served, Alicia was so excited that she almost lost her grip over her cutlery.
"Haha..."
Frederick chuckled lightly and helped her cut the fish. "Don't rush, it's all yours!"NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
The restaurant's grilled fish, in his
opinion, was nothing special in
particular. It was just that their way of preparation was indeed very unique. The entire fish looked like it was leaping. It had a gold-scaled red tail and the shape was adorable. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It smelled incredibly scrumptious. He was unsure if it was to keep the fish's shape or to make it crispy, but the skin was quite tough, and it needed some force to pry it open.
Without waiting for the waiter to cut it up, Frederick divided it into small pieces little by little along with the score marks on the fish's skin. As Alicia took the chunks fish that was still piping hot and stuffed it in her mouth, she acted just like a child in a candy shop. She grinned happily and even her eyes squinted. She was eating quickly, and continued staring at him eagerly while he continued to slice the fish up as she bit onto her
cutlery.
It was the first time that Frederick had seen her like that. He was quite surprised and immediately understood why she threw such a big tantrum. Sure enough, the way to a woman's heart was really through food!
Alicia ate most of the fish, and the two of them truly enjoyed their meal.
At that time, Willy visited the female prison in Casterwich City again. That time, he went alone with only a document pouch. Since he had been regarded as a frequent visitor there, he was led directly to an independent cell near the back door after he greeted the prison's
wel
personnel. He had specially
requested for the privilege
previously!
After all, it was not a glorious thing. He went in and out of the place quite often. Of course, it was better for fewer people to know about it.
The cell's door opened, and the administrator left.
Nodding to show his gratitude, Willy walked in on his own. At that time, Lauren was still holding onto her knees at the corner of the bed just like usual. She didn't even raise her eyes.
He had gotten used to her being still and stiff like a log. That time, Willy was already tormented and was emotionless.
He glanced at her and shook the leather paper bag in his hand.
"I'm here to give you something this time! I don't expect you to speak now, but there's something that I need to confirm!"
Although all kinds of information pointed out that she was in fact the legendary "poison rose" who was a very talented chemist and graduated from a famous college, it was hard to say whether it was misinformation or not. Who knew whether she was the real Lauren Heady?
He made a bet with Carson! Thus, he didn't want to pursue a fake. Even if he won, he would be happy for nothing.
At that moment, Willy looked at her. His mind was still filled with the conditions of the bet. He gritted his teeth in anger.
Did Carson actually want him to be with someone as reticent as her for one year? He himself was already taciturn enough. If he was to be matched with a mute like her, wouldn't he turn into a lunatic when the time came?
Sure enough, after talking for a long time, the room was still filled with quietness...
Willy felt as if he was going insane as he felt like he was talking to himself!
That woman could really infuriate a person to death!
How could such a woman have a boyfriend whom she even dated for two years?
