Chapter 20


    Alicia was about to refuse while holding her mother''s arm. However, she saw Frederick nodding in


    agreement and answered, "Okay!"


    Alicia and her mother were the only ones staying in the 2,000 square feet house. It was clean and


    tidy. It seemed a little packed when Frederick arrived. There were only one sofa and one table in the


    living room, which looked a little old.


    "Our house is a little shabby. Please don''t mind it. Ally, let Frederick take a seat. I''ll serve tea for you


    guys..." Mrs. nchard ordered.


    "Alright!" Alicia responded.


    In fact, she didn''t want Frederick to enter the house, but she didn''t want to disobey her mother


    either.


    When she saw that her mother had entered the kitchen, she whispered, "Wait a minute, I''ll get you


    a... cushion!"


    Knowing that he was a clean freak and that he mightin, Alicia wanted to find a brand new


    sheet or cushion to spread over the sofa for him to sit on. In fact, the slipovers of the sofa were


    brand new as they were just made by Alicia and her mother not too long ago. It was only used for a


    short time.


    As soon as she stepped away, she saw that Frederick had already sat down. She was shocked and


    froze.


    At this time, Mrs. nchard had already brought out the teapot.


    "I''ve asked you to serve him. Why are you still standing there? You didn''t even serve him a ss of


    water! Chamomile tea can help you rx and sleep peacefully. You guys often stay upte and


    would always be under great pressure from work. Drink some. It''s good for your health!" Mrs.


    nchard remarked.


    "Mom, it''s gettingte. Go to sleep! I''ll take care of him!"


    After all, Frederick was not an ordinary man. Alicia was afraid that he would not give way to her


    mother and hurt her feelings. Thus, she had always prevented them from having direct interaction.


    "Okay, okay, I won''t disturb you guys!" Mrs. nchard replied.


    Although Mrs. nchard was dressed casually, she still appeared graceful. Moreover, her smile


    was warm. She looked very virtuous at first nce, which made people feel pleasant.


    Before she turned around, Frederick picked up the teacup and drank it. "Thank you!"


    "Drink more if you like it!" Mrs. nchard was pleased to hear that.


    After giving her daughter a wink, Mrs. nchard went back to her room.


    Alicia felt a little weak and sat down instantly as if she just had a fight. She didn''t expect that


    Frederick would be so respectful to her mother that he finished the tea.


    Regardless of whether he was sincere or just acting, the gratitude in Alicia''s heart was surging at


    this moment.


    After seeing Frederick out, Alicia did not say "thank you" this time. Instead, she said very sincerely,


    "Drive slowly on the road. Be careful! Good night!"


    Although he felt that her house was so small that it made him ustrophobic, he didn''t know why he


    actually didn''t want to leave.


    Seeing that she did not ask him to stay, Frederick added in a low voice, "Pack your things for this


    week!"


    After that, he did not wait for her reply and got in the car in a sulking manner.


    She pursed her lips and sighed faintly, thinking, "s, sure enough, he''s unhappy!"

    Alicia cleared up the misunderstanding about the pregnancy with her mother. Unexpectedly, her


    motherpletely epted this marriage and wanted her to live with Frederick. She even literally


    raised both her hands in agreement.


    So far, Alicia had been able to ept reality. Fortunately, it seemed that it wasn''t such a mess at


    the moment.


    After a short period of ups and downs, her life became peaceful gradually. Alicia was also relieved


    slightly.


    One morning, she entered thepany with some documents in her hands. As soon as she sorted


    them out, she heard the buzzing sound from the vibration of her cell phone.


    An unknown number?


    "Hello, this is Alicia nchard from JT Trantion Service. May I ask-"


    As soon as she reported her name, she heard the engaged tone from the cell phone. She stared at


    her phone screen, looking at it again and again. What did that mean? Was that call made


    mistakenly?


    Shaking her head, she brushed it off and didn''t give it much thought. She got up and went to the tea


    room.


    When she came back, the whole office seemed to be in an uproar.


    "Soaver International has managed to secure the Global Garden project? And Frederick Clements


    has a woman? Are you kidding me?"
