Chapter 22


    The spinach omelet, fried shrimp, and grilled mushroom with beef were simple dishes. They were


    neither luxurious nor exquisite, but they made people feel warm and increased one''s appetite.


    After sitting down, the two of them began to eat. As usual, the color, aroma, and taste of the food


    were great. It made their appetite voracious.


    Alicia picked up a few mushrooms after eating some vegetables. She then noticed that there were


    two pieces of fatty meat hidden beneath the mushrooms. She didn''t want to waste food, but she


    was embarrassed to put them back. Looking at Frederick, she ced them on his te.


    "Have some meat and you''ll grow!" Alicia said.


    She pretended to be oblivious to what she had done and continued to eat.


    Seeing that he didn''t throw the meat away and ate them eventually, an inexpressible emotion


    surged in Alicia''s heart instantly. Finally, she finished the few mushrooms on her te. She set


    down her fork and spoon, then began to eat the shrimps on the te. She had always enjoyed


    eating shrimps. They were so fresh and delicious. Thus, she peeled them very quickly with her


    fingers.


    After eating two shrimps, her hands were greasy and the corners of her mouth were stained with oil.


    Frederick set down his fork and spoon, then nced at her.


    "I''ve never seen a woman eat like this before!" He teased.


    However, Alicia did not mind at all and continued to peel the shrimp. She only cared about her


    stomach while she was enjoying the delicious food. However, she used too much strength and


    sshed some gravy on her hands. Afraid of dirtying her clothes, she pouted at him.


    "Um, urn..."


    She was still chewing the food in her mouth. Hence, she nced at the tissue box, indicating


    Frederick to fetch it for her. With a disgusted look, Frederick took a sheet of tissue and wiped it for


    her.


    "Clumsy!"


    After a while, he also joined in peeling shrimps, but his actions were elegant and his speed was


    fast. Even the shrimp shells on his te seemed to have been arranged neatly. Alicia felt some


    admiration in an instant.


    "It is like he is born a noble! He can do anything as easily as he wants, and he is also very


    composed!" she thought to herself.


    In the end, when she even got a few more shrimps from him, she was on cloud nine.


    Alicia washed all the tes voluntarily after the wonderful meal and then went to the bathroom to


    clean herself up. When Frederick went back to the room, it was already half-past ten. He removed


    his headphones when he saw Alicia about to take a rest, showing his annoyance.


    "Go take a bath!" he ordered.


    "I''ve already taken a bath!" Alicia replied. She thought that she was stinky because she touched a


    fair amount of shrimps. Hence, she raised her hand and sniffed it. "There''s a faint jasmine


    fragrance! I smell good," she praised herself.


    "Take a bath again! You smell like cheap perfume."

    Alicia almost blew up in fury. He nted a lot of jasmine flowers at his own house, and yet he


    disliked the jasmine fragrance on her body?


    His brain must have been mped by the door before!


    Kneeling on her knees, she rolled up her sleeves and stretched out her fair arm, asking, "Are you


    sure? Smell it again! I''ve already cleaned myself! How can it be?"


    Frederick leaned back to avoid her, but she kept moving forward. She didn''t know whether she had


    stepped on her clothes or was tripped by something else and fell on him with a thud.


    "Ah!"


    Fortunately, Alicia did not fall to the ground. However, one of her hands swept over him and touched


    somewhere identally. She seemed to have been burned by something and withdrew her hand


    immediately. Then, she rolled out of bed and ran away like a refugee.


    "I''m going to take a bath," Alicia shouted.


    Reaching the bathroom, she shut the door and looked at her hand, her face turned red like a


    tomato. "How embarrassing!"


    In the end, she went to take a cold shower and hid in the bathroom for a long time before she


    fiddled with her hand and lowered her head while walking out. Her cheeks were still blushing. Just


    as she was thinking about what to say, she looked up and saw that Frederick had fallen asleep. She


    then let out a long breath and crept into the bed soundlessly.
