Chapter 157


    "You said that you would provide me warmth for my whole life!"


    He could clearly remember what she had once said and promised. But, at this moment, for some


    unknown reasons, he couldn''t voice it out.


    The woman in front of him was familiar but he also felt estranged!


    Six years was neither too long nor too short. A lot of things had changed these few years. Just like


    her appearance, it had changed a lot too!


    He was also no longer the same person he used to be!


    Tears were rolling down Danica''s cheeks but she suddenly bit her lip.


    "Are you... facing some difficulties?" he asked.


    She kept shaking her head and stayed silent about what had happened that year. After a long time,


    she muttered out of the blue, "Frederick, even if I came back, we can''t be together anymore, can


    we? Will you even do anything for me just like before?"


    With her soft voice and her face full of tears, it touched Frederick''s soft spot, making him feel


    speechless.


    The woman in front of him was his dream from childhood to adulthood!


    However, at this moment, he couldn''t give a definite answer. The words couldn''t escape from his


    mouth. He thought of his grandmother and the rules of the Clements family. He thought about Alicia,


    who had done a lot for him and his beloved grandmother...


    Perhaps, at this moment, his heart was indeed more inclined to her childhood sweetheart as they


    had deep feelings for each other. But, what about his grandmother? He could ignore all the affairs of


    the Clements family but he couldn''t disobey his grandmother, could he?


    In addition, there was also Alicia. Thinking of her, he unexpectedly felt distressed!


    "You won''t! You don''t want me anymore!" After a moment of hesitation, Danica turned around and


    ran away with tears in her eyes.


    "Danica..."


    Frederick shouted but he did not chase after her.


    He picked up the box that he had dropped on the ground and saw a price tag. It seemed that she


    had dropped it.


    30 dors?


    Did she buy a shirt at a discounted price of fewer than 30 dors?


    What had she gone through in the past few years? Why did she look so haggard and depressed?


    After all, she was the eldest daughter of the Randolph family, who owned tens of millions of assets!


    No matter what, she would have possessed some real estate and stocks, right?


    It was the first time that Frederick had stood at the same spot for a long time. He was at a loss!


    Frederick had been wanting to find this woman for a long time, but when his wish came true, he was


    caught unprepared. After a short moment of joy, it was reced by endless emptiness and


    mncholy.


    He was deeply trapped by an inexplicable emotion...


    He didn''t try to inquire about her anymore. Instead, he returned to Casterwich City swiftly. However,


    he didn''t go back to Landrum Garden straight away nor did he contact Alicia.


    The next few days, Frederick stayed in his office and was in a daze.


    One day, he was going through the recordings of the meetings. As soon as Chet walked in, he saw


    that Frederick was propping his chin on his hands and was lost in his thoughts again. After returning


    from Lesterdam City, it seemed that such a posture had be his habit. Whenever Chet entered,


    Frederick would be in the same position.


    Following his gaze, he saw a pot of jasmine flowers on the rack on one side. On the other side,


    there was a ck bag on top of the cab. Over the past few days, his gaze would be lost in that


    direction.


    Chet scratched the back of his head and was quite puzzled.


    What was wrong with Frederick recently? He had not been to any of the meetings and he seemed


    to be not interested in anything... It was too abnormal!


    In Chet''s eyes, this rack never changed for a few years and he was so familiar with it. So he was


    puzzled why did Frederick look at the rack all the time? However, in the world of Frederick, jasmine


    flowers represented Danica and the bag represented Alicia.


    Every day, when his eyes fell on it, he would feel indecisive as he couldn''t make a decision.

    As Chet ced the documents in front of him, he whispered, "Frederick, today''s meeting is going to


    be recorded..."


    Suddenly, he came to his senses and found that he still couldn''t concentrate. "Noted."


    Frederick raised his hand and gestured for him to sit down. Then, he checked the documents and


    signed on the pages. "Do as nned. You can make your own decisions!"


    Chet'' memories of Frederick was that he was always swift and vigorous.


    Chet had never seen him being so idle and depressed. He was quite surprised, thus he uttered,


    "Frederick, are you feeling too tired?"


    He shouldn''t have acted this way. It was a case costing 10 billion dors! How could he react like


    this? Suddenly, something appeared in Chet''s mind. "A man is indecisive in his rtionship."


    Did it have anything to do with love or women?


    Frederick looked up and straightened his body. ''Tm not tired. There are some things that I haven''t


    figured out yet!"


    Looking at Chet, Frederick felt that he was like his brother whom he had been with for more than a


    decade. Out of the blue, Frederick spoke in a cold voice.


    "Chet, if it was you and there are two pens, one is a new one and you love it very much; the other is


    an old one but you are used to it, which one will you choose?"


    After thinking for a while, Chet answered, "Perhaps the old one? I''ve gotten used to it!"


    After a pause, Frederick suddenly felt that this metaphor seemed to be very inappropriate. Yes, the


    new pen might not write well, but the old one''s condition was quite clear.


    Looking at Frederick''s furrowed brows, Chet guessed that he must have encountered some kind of


    decision-making problem. Obviously, his answer made him feel doubtful and hesitant.


    "Frederick, if you really like the new one, you can go ahead and choose the new one! If I give you


    tell you that I will choose the new pen, you will doubt whether the new one is bad or not! In fact, the


    first reaction is the most urate! I chose the old one. If you agree with me, it means that you love


    the old one and are inclined to the old one. If you have doubts, it means that your heart has already


    chosen the new one!"


    These words hit the bullseye, causing Frederick to stay silent!


    Looking at his reaction, Chet had roughly guessed what was going on in his mind.


    "Frederick, not everything can be analyzed with reasons. Even if you really want to analyze it, it''s


    not necessarily right! Why don''t you follow your heart? Isn''t it simpler? Let nature take its course.


    Maybe, you will get the answer after taking a stroll! Don''t back yourself into a corner!"


    That woman was most likely the only one who could make Frederick so confused!


    He had been with Danica for more than ten years and he had been thinking of her, yet he still


    hesitated. Didn''t this mean that he had genuine feelings for Miss nchard? Chet pondered.


    This woman was indeed powerful! How could she make Frederick so hesitant in just a few days?


    From the corner of his eye, Frederick subconsciously nced at the other side. He was still having


    trouble making up his mind. Hence, he waved his hand and spoke.


    "Alright, let me calm down first!"


    Chet got up and walked out of the room.


    The door of the room was closed slowly and Frederick''s eyes darkened again.


    Follow his heart?


    He had always hated men who couldn’t be loyal. He never cared about the blessings of others and


    never liked having any messy orplicated rtionships. He rarely hesitated as well. But, this


    time, he was really indecisive.
