Chapter 871
The Peak of Green Cloud, The Barbecue Queen
With a single glance, Alicia saw the immense handwriting on the standing sign, sporting a shiny and eye-catching number, 9999.
She couldn't help but let out a faint laugh. How long had it been? There's still only money in her eyes huh...
In the past, she would've definitely run over without a second thought! Beer and barbecue season was nearing! The activities in previous years were always at the plaza. But this year, it was actually in front of the Green Gioudon Hotel?
Of course, the next street had just expanded with all kinds of high-end dining restaurants, forming a gourmet city. Picking a Gourmet Queen title at this location seemed reasonable after all.
"Time sure flies!"
After hitting rock bottom, she managed to climb back up again in a blink of an eye. In hindsight, her life was actually not that difficult after all. As she reminisced, Alicia had already walked over.
The gathering ended in discord. Danica was filled with a sense of grievance when she walked out of the room!
In the present era, information couldn't be hidden anymore. Even if she tried her best to deny her misfortune, her friends were clearly distancing themselves. Except for Qiana, with whom she had always had a good relationship, the rest of them were all irrelevant.
However, she never expected that Qiana would react in such a way. Did she really believe what she said? Danica just wanted the last affection to be a little more realistic. She did not expect to get a cold shoulder!
Grabbing Frederick's arm, Danica was so furious that she was about to explode. When she came back to her senses again, they had already entered the parking lot. She suddenly paused and grabbed him by his arm. Her words were enveloped with a begging tone.
"Frederick, can you not leave tonight?"
Looking at her, all trace of gentleness on Frederick's face was gone. Instead, it was replaced with his usual coldness, "Don't forget about our agreement! This is Casterwich City!"
He had only promised to fulfill her dying wish. He did not agree to starting out fake but ending up seriously! Moreover, he had also listed out the condition that, while they were at Casterwich City, they would maintain a decent distance.
"You don't have to keep reminding me again and again. You're here with me because of another woman!"
As she flung her hand, Danica raised her voice subconsciously. However, her furious emotions deflated like a balloon when she caught Frederick's suddenly narrowed eyes.
"Take a walk with me!"
Frederick compromised. He nodded, and the two of them went to the commercial district on the other side.
All he did was for Alicia! Even though he was with Danica, he never concealed it... This was a mere agreement!
She asked for a dream and a mere dream is all she would get. Moreover, he had the final say of the extent of it!
Along the way, Frederick was robotically bought everything that she had rested her eyes on. For him, the problems that could be solved with money were not considered problems at all!
As they walked down the street, Danica's eyes were shining. Although she didn't care about the things she bought, she enjoyed the feeling of being pampered by others.
At the junction, a snack eatery with a long queue came into view. Danica pulled at his hand for attention.
"Takoyaki! Frederick, do you still remember? We were so ignorant when we first ate it. We wasted four out of the six we bought. After that, we would always line up for it every time we came out."
"At that time, 'Takoyaki' had just became popular, and it was only sold in some of the eateries! When we wanted to eat it, we always had to go to the Gourmet City on the central street. Although it was not too far away, the shop was either closed or sold out when we arrived!"
"Haha... it was because I always wanted to eat it in the middle of the night, but Gourmet City closed at 10 o'clock! At that time, you would always nag me. When we quarreled, I would always torture you this way!"
"Sometimes you're lucky, sometimes you are not."
"I was really happy at that time! You really doted on me."
As they walked and talked, Danica, who was caught in her memory, felt extremely happy. Glancing at her out of the corner of his eye, Frederick was unwilling to even recall a word regarding his past. The more she spoke it, the more he was resistant. There was hatred and mixed emotions in his heart. Content

While they were lining up, Frederick took out a change of ten dollars. Danica was so eager that she stood on tiptoe. But the expression shown on Frederick's face was filled with dislike!
In Frederick's eyes, Danica was nothing but a pretentious woman.
Danica brought a small box out of the shop. Frederick's eyes, however, fell on the shining, gradually spinning sign on the side. The same eight characters also aroused his endless memories.
The Peak Of Green Cloud, The Barbecue Queen.
A billboard for promoting a large-scale flourishing event?
Looking at the people and the eye-catching prize, what emerged in his mind was an image of an avaricious girl, whose eyes were shining and extremely eager for money. Thinking of that, a faint smile subconsciously appeared on his face.
What a hard-working girl! She didn't know how many times she had been caught by him! Until now, she was still so aggressive!
The corner of Danica's mouth rose
when she saw the gentleness and
happiness in his eyes. At the moment, her body already began to feel a colicky pain, but for the sake of this moment, for the sake some long-lost tenderness from him, she stayed. She put a fishball into her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes.
She was willing to give up everything, even her life, in exchange for time in the past, even just for a moment.
After picking up another fishball, Danica put it to his mouth and said, "Same taste huh, Frederick?"
As he came to his senses suddenly, all the picturesque images in Frederick's mind were all broken into fragments. He shook his head lightly and said, "I've been working hard recently and recuperating with traditional Chinese medicine, I should avoid oily seafood!"
"Oh..."
Danica hooked her hand on his arm again and shook his hand firmly, "Your health is the most important! Money can never buy health, right?"
Danica's concern came from the bottom of her heart, it was sincere and wholehearted! However, she hadn't forgotten her purpose yet. Even if she was sincere, Frederick felt nothing at all. Therefore, his smile was a pretentious presence.
"It's getting late. Let's go back!"ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
"Alright!"
The two of them walked back together, Danica holding on to his hand. She knew that she could not be too greedy. Leaning her head on his side, she was smiling. Along the way, she kept talking about past memories and nothing else.
Across the street, Alicia was about
Street.
to leave after strolling around. As she lifted her head, she saw a familiar yet unpleasant sight before her on the empty cobblestone street. Throwing away the specialty barbecue kebabs that she had waited in line for a long time, Alicia lifted her legs and chased after it.
"No!"
