Chapter 81
"It''s gettingte, you should hurry up and pack your things! I have to rest too! Have a safe journey
home!" Mrs. Clements said.
Alicia knew she could not stay there any longer. Hence, she picked up her bag and walked towards
Frederick.
"Grandma, we will visit you next time!" she said.
After that, the two of them walked to the door one after the other. Just as they were about to go out,
Mrs. Clements stopped them.
"Wait, I almost forgot!"
"Tomorrow is Friday. Remember toe over for dinner with us! Mason will be around, and so will
your second uncle and his family! Don''t be absent. Do you hear me?" she said.
Thest sentence was obviously directed at Frederick. Alicia raised her eyes slightly and looked at
him.
"Okay, Grandma!" he replied shortly after.
"Good, you should go then. Goodbye!" Mrs. Clements said.
After that, she smiled and waved her hand. When Alicia turned around, she seemed to have seen
Mrs. Clements winking at her, but she was somewhat uncertain. Hence, she waved her hand back
at her.
"Goodbye, Grandma!" As soon as the car started moving, Frederick looked at Alicia with disdain.
"You are getting bolder and bolder!" Did shee here toin? To let his grandmother handle
him?
She was confused. "What?"
She did not understand. Her mind was filled with Mrs. Clement''s words from earlier. She
subconsciously looked at him with more sympathy. Women were always soft at heart! She suddenly
seemed to understand why he was so strong and powerful! Only the strong ones will not get hurt!
Compared to his life, Alicia felt that her life was too simple!
Frederick squinted at her and said, "Don''t y these petty tricks with me in the future. You are not
allowed to bother Grandma!"
With a shiver, Alicia instantly understood. It was Mrs. Clements who asked him to pick her up!
That must be the case. Otherwise, how could he know where she was?
"No..." She wanted to deny it. That was not her intention!
She wanted to exin, but when she met his impatient eyes, Alicia lowered her shoulders. "Oh,
alright! I won''t do it again!"
To put it bluntly, this was actually her idea. Back then, she would onlye here on the weekends
when she was free. On usual days, she would just greet Mrs. Clements through phone calls. This
day, she really wanted to gain some information, but she did not expect the truth to be like that.
At this moment, Alicia seemed to understand why he was so obedient towards his grandmother. He
really cared about his grandmother very much. She initially wanted Mrs. Clements to create
opportunities for her and Frederick to have a talk. But for him, it might only make him angrier.
He would never allow his grandmother to be unhappy in any way. Even if the possibility of her being
unhappy was very slight.
Instantly, Alicia also realized that she was wrong.
Therefore, along the way, she did not defend herself. She did not make any sound. Naturally,
Frederick did not try to get even with her either. Hence, their standstill continued.
Fortunately, this cold and contemptuous look he gave her was not for nothing. The next night, they
had to go home to have dinner together. Back then, this was the most painful time for Alicia, but this
time, Alicia was thankful for this dinner.
When she was changing clothes, she was picky about what to wear, because this was not the first
time for her to go there. This time, she was more concerned about Frederick''s preference. In the
end, she chose a casual knitted shirt and a pair of ck pants. She tied her hair into a simple
ponytail, which was less reserved and looked more youthful.
Throughout the journey, Frederick drove the car but he did not look at her at all. Alicia was used to
it. She nced at him asionally and looked out of
the window asionally. She had been smiling.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, a servant came up to them and greeted, "Master Frederick,
Miss nchard!"
The servants were sensible. Although Frederick and Alicia did not hold a wedding ceremony, the
servants were still very respectful towards her.
As soon as Frederick came over, Alicia took the initiative to stay close to him and held his hand.
She obviously felt him trying to push her away, but she pretended to not notice and continued to
hold him tightly.
Their eyes met, and Frederick quickly turned his head away. However, he did not shake her off
anymore.
They entered the room with their hands held together. Alicia greeted everyone politely. "Grandma,
Dad, Aunt!"
As usual, Frederick only addressed his grandmother as he entered the house. After chatting for a
while, everyone began to eat.
The dishes on the table were served one after another. They were normal dishes that would be
eaten on a daily basis. asionally, they would have some small talks and the atmosphere was
good. It was a veryrge dining table, and everyone only took the dishes near to them. But after all
the dishes were ced, the three dishes in front of Alicia appeared particrly greasy.

She waited for a long time, hoping that new dishes would be served. Hence, she only ate the in
sd on her te.
She wanted to get some broli, but as soon as she reached out, she realized that it was too far
away. Alicia could only pick up some meat near her and ce it on her te.
Why was the barbeque pork ced right in front of her? Why was it such a fatty one too?
She poked the soft fats on the meat. While she was having a headache, a few pieces of broli
were ced on her te. Frederick then took away the barbeque pork too.
She secretly nced at him and realized that he was expressionless. He was holding the cutlery as
if he had been trained in the military. His actions were sharp. Alicia smiled and squinted her eyes.
Mrs. Clements was right. He was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He had been paying
attention to her all this time!
This sudden cognition made her feel as if she had won a big prize, and she enjoyed the meal even
more.
Across the table, Grandma smiled and said nothing. Meanwhile, Hallie was destroying the meatball
on her te.
After dinner, the two of them were asked to spend the night there. Even Mrs. Clements stayed, thus,
Frederick could not object. When they entered the room, Alicia smiled and approached Frederick.
However, he suddenly raised his chin.
"If you dare to spray perfume again, don''t even think about getting within three feet of me!"
After saying that, he turned around and went into the bathroom.
Alicia took a deep breath and sniffed repeatedly. She thought, "His nose must be broken, right? I
didn''t spray perfume!"
She was so annoyed! What was wrong with him this time?
She raised her arm and sniffed it again and again. It was faint, but there seemed to be some
fragrance!
After taking a shower, Alicia raised her hand and took a sniff. There was still some fragrance. It was
a very fresh scent of shower gel.
She stood at the bedside, pointed at a pillow, and asked pitifully, "Do I need to sleep on the sofa
again?"
As soon as she said it, he rolled his eyes. Then, Fredericky down and turned his back towards
her.
What was the meaning of this?
Was she allowed to do that or not?
She thought that she was not allowed to do that!
Alicia twitched her lips and lifted the quilt to get into bed. When she saw that he did not react, she
wriggled her body to get closer to him. When her whole body was lying t on the bed, she
obediently stopped moving and then closed her eyes.
In truth, as long as she could feel him next to her, she would be at ease.
Although he did not look at her, Frederick thought the same as well. Only when he heard the sound
of her breathing did he begin to feel sleepy.
The next day, when Alicia opened her eyes, she saw a pair of angry eyes on her face. Then, she
realized that she had climbed onto him like an octopus. "Are you a snake?" he asked.
