Chapter 158


    A faint jasmine fragrance overwhelmed his senses. At the same time, in a trance, he seemed to


    hear the delicate and soft voice of a girl.


    "Are you hungry? My sweet potato is still warm, I''ll give it to you!"


    "Are you feeling cold? Let me warm your hands!"


    He would never forget the day when he met her for the first time in the snow. That day, a richdy


    came with a pet dog to the family party.


    That dog was as arrogant as its owner. It was quite annoying and it even bit one of the servants and


    tore his trousers.


    That day''s experience reminded Frederick of many unbearable past events. It also triggered an


    irrepressible violent emotion in him.


    He stole rat poison from a cupboard, then proceeded to stuff it into a meat bun before passing it to


    the dog.


    When the people found the dog, it was already dead.


    That day, he was punished by kneeling in the snow for an hour.


    It was also on that day that he met Danica for the first time. She was like a Barbie doll, a sweet little


    girl who was like a princess. She called him sweetly, stole snacks for him, but he had rejected all of


    them.


    However, she wasn''t fazed by it at all. Even then, she wanted to warm his hands on a cold day and


    offered him warm food.


    He even remembered her calling him beautiful.


    It was apliment that was usually suited for girls. He even had the urge to kick her when she


    called him that, but in the end, he was touched by the warm food she had brought for him.


    It was onlyter on that he got to know the girl was also there to attend the family gathering.


    After that day, he was sent to a military school. At a very young age, he had started his days of


    suffering.


    Later, they slowly got to know each other. He didn''t talk to her much but she would still always smile


    at him. Like the sunshine, her smile warmed his life that was engulfed in darkness and lit up his


    whole world.


    After closing his eyes, her voice popped into his mind once again.


    "Happy birthday, Frederick! I''ve made you your favorite dumplings. Can you taste the ck pepper


    in it?"


    "Frederick, I''m so worried about you. You have to recover and stop getting sick!"


    "Frederick, no matter what happens, we will be together forever..."

    "Frederick, I want to be yours!"


    In the past, no matter how tired he was, he always felt energetic with her by his side. When he saw


    her smile, it reminded him of the blooming flowers in spring.


    He liked dumplings, hence she learned to make them just for him. When he was tired, she would


    massage his shoulder. When he was sleepy, she would ce a nket on him. When he was ill,


    she took care of him without rest; when he woke up, she wouldugh like a little kid with tears of


    worry streaming down her face-


    Yes, she had said it more than once that she wanted to give herself to him and be his woman!


    However, he wasn''t as sessful back then as he was at the moment... He wanted to do better and


    give her everything. In his mind, marriage was sacred. He wanted to give her the very best on their


    wedding night.


    He just didn''t expect that once he had prepared everything, he would lose the most important thing


    — her.


    The scene of heart- warming memories shed before his eyes but the past was unbearable. As he


    was lost in his thoughts, the voice of his grandmother and the energetic voice of another girl popped


    into his mind.


    "Hubby, I miss you..."


    "Hubby, wait for me... Frederick, stop right there!"


    "Hubby, are you hungry? I''ll cook for you!"


    "Hubby, if you are inconvenient or not around anymore one day, I will take good care of Grandma


    for you..."


    "If I needed to rely on you all, I would''ve passed away by now. I''ve stayed here for so many days...


    Who took care of me 24 hours a day? Who helped me with excretion? Who turned me over and


    cleaned my body for me? Who was the one who worried about me and stayed up just to chat with


    me? It was all Ally!"


    "Hubby, don''t you believe me?"


    "Hubby-"


    His heart ached and he stood up suddenly. Frederick was agitated again as he stared off into the far


    distance. He still couldn''t make a choice!


    A woman he disliked most and who treated money as her everything, a woman who was not


    supposed to be his cup of tea and was shallow-minded, a woman that wasn''t fated to be with him...


    No matter what, it seemed that Danica was more suitable for him. But, why... just why was he so


    reluctant to leave her?


    Even if without his grandmother, did he really have to let her go?


    Frederick was hesitating again.


    In the blink of an eye, it was already the weekends, yet Frederick had not stepped into the house for


    a long time. As for Alicia, although she told herself that she didn''t care, she was depressed every


    day. For the first time, she didn''t even have the energy to work and earn money.


    The luxurious mansion was like arge ice cer at this moment!


    Her rtionship with Frederick had turned into a mess and she did not dare to go back to her


    mother''s house. She was afraid that her mother would notice it by ident, which would add to her


    troubles.


    After getting up and making a cup of ginger tea, she couldn''t help sighing in front of theputer.


    After dealing with the work at hand, she couldn''t help but started searching for something.


    By the time she realized, the name "Frederick Clements" had already been typed into the search


    box.


    Soon, a stream of news popped up.


    The advantage of having a famous husband was that she didn''t need to hire a private detective. At


    any time or ce, countless pairs of eyes would help her to keep an eye on him!


    When she came back to her senses, she was quite surprised at her behavior. She was speechless.


    She felt a little upset and was about to close the tab.


    When she turned her eyes inadvertently, a picture of an intimate couple suddenly entered her sight.


    She paused.


    "Lesterdam City''s romance: Master Clements''s new favorite girl is here!"


    Lesterdam City? Just a few days ago?


    She knew that she shouldn''t have clicked on it but at this moment, the photo and the title on the


    side were like the mysterious box of Pandora, stirring the temptation from Alicia''s heart. In a daze,


    she clicked on it.


    After looking through it, she felt as if her heart had been gouged out. She was devastated.


    No wonder he didn''te back that day and was without news for such a long time... It turned out


    that he went to Lesterdam City to have a date with another woman!


    How could he look so eager to hold the woman''s hand and hug her so intimately on the streets?


    How much have they been hanging out these days?


    Lesterdam City''s "romance"? How beautiful the title was, how poetic and picturesque it was!


    The corner of Alicia''s mouth twitched.


    A cool breeze blew and she couldn''t help but shiver. Goosebumps appeared all over her body.


    Rubbing her arms, she patted her own hands hard.


    "You asked for it yourself!" she said to herself exasperatedly. Just why did she have to click on that


    article?


    Why couldn''t she have done something else instead? She wouldn''t be able to sleep tonight again.


    She curled her knees to her chest and felt as if she had returned to her wedding with Jeremy three


    years ago, where he had left her alone. Alicia''s eyes were nk; she wanted to cry but had no


    tears.


    That night, she sat on the bed with the same posture for several hours. As she had expected, she


    couldn''t sleep at all.
