Chapter 247


    Frederick held her waist and stroked her hair as he smiled." Yeah, you are like a little fairy!" For a brief moment, she looked exactly I ike— As Alicia


    touched her own hair, she didn''t realize anything weird with Frederick at all. She lowered her head and smiled. "Gee, I''m still not used to this. I really


    dislike straight hair, it makes me look even younger!”


    Alicia always felt that wavy hair was more attractive, she really didn''t understand why men always preferred long, straight hair. However, she still felt


    happy with the asional change in style.


    She then pushed Frederick inside as she muttered, "Hubby, go and change too. I''ll put on some makeup, then we''re ready to leave!"


    She turned around and left in a hurry.


    Frederick nced at her and paused. He then narrowed his eyes as he thought. "When she remained motionless, the both of them did look alike.


    When she moved, they both lookedpletely different!"


    As Alicia was wearing an elegant white dress and she had straightened her hair, she chose a pure and innocent look of makeup. She used some


    foundation to define her features and then used a nude shade of lipstick.


    She radiated a clean aura all over. She didn''t even wear the jewelry that came along with the gown but instead chose a pair of small diamond


    earrings, then picked a handbag of the same color tone and put some essentials in it.


    As Frederick turned around, he took her into his arms. The both of them smiled when their eyes met.


    “Hubby, did you manage to prepare a gift in such a short time?”


    "Well, my uncle likes to collect stamps. Previously, I already found someone to look for some special and memorable stamps, and I have saved a few


    sets to give to my uncle. Rx, stamps are better than everything: my uncle is a hardcore stamp collector. He has a room in his house for storing


    stamps and no one can enter - not even Trevor!"


    The two of them chatted as they walked. Alicia giggled when she heard his words. "Hubby. will your uncle know that you treat him like this? You''re so


    evil! If he knows about it, he would surelye for you!"


    "Heh, that''s why this is our secret!"


    Frederick then pinched her nose and kissed her on the forehead. "Do keep this secret for me!”


    Frederick opened the car door as they were talking.


    Alicia nodded and smiled. "Then you have to bribe me in order for me to keep your secret. Don''t ever mess with me, I have your secret now!"


    "Sure, of course I''ll treat you well! Get in the car, my lord!”


    Frederick helped her to get into the car, made sure she wasfortable, and adjusted her gown before he closed the car door.


    The both of themughed and chatted along the way. Soon, they stopped before a luxurious vi. Lights were shing and the music was sting


    There were many deluxe cars parked before the entrance and it was very lively.


    As soon as their car stopped, a servant came over and opened the door. The butler came over to greet them too. "Master Frederick, Miss nchard,


    you''re here!”


    "Yes. We''re fine, you can go busy yourselves!"


    Frederick handed over the gift to the butler, then grabbed Alicia''s waist as they walked into the house together.


    The party was held in the banquet hall on the side of the vi which was connected to an open- air swimming pool at the back. The lights were


    colorful and shy, all looking ostentatious.


    "Happy birthday! I wish good fortune upon you!"


    As soon as they entered the vi, the two greeted Frederick''s uncle. When they saw Christian, Penny, and Hallie entering the hall, they headed to


    another side


    Just as Frederick gave Alicia a ss of juice, a teasing voice sounded from behind, “After so many years, your taste doesn’t changed at all, you still


    prefer in women-"


    As Alicia turned around, the man stopped talking abruptly. He widened his eyes as the smile on his face stiffened. He could obviously feel the warning


    re from Frederick. Alicia nced at the two of them curiously.


    Frederick stepped forward and replied calmly. “You are still the same, never taking things seriously.”


    Frederick rested his hand on Alicia''s back as he spoke.


    "Let me introduce to you, this is Matt Jones, a well- known yboy. The next time you see him, stay away from him as far as you can.”


    Alicia was curious and thought, "Why did he introduce his friend like that"?


    Alicia couldn''t control herself andughed at the two of them. She red yfully at Frederick then turned to the man before her. "Nice to meet you!”


    Her smile was extremely gorgeous.


    In an instant, Matt felt that her smile


    looked like aslower blooming before


    him, feeling tike spring was here. hs


    thought to himself, "What a pretty


    girl! She''s not some in women at


    all. Even though she had dressed up


    simply, she still looked incredibly


    attractive.


    She had perfectly disyed pureness and seductiveness.


    Matt''s gaze obviously paused on her.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    At this time, Frederick''s cold and teasing voice rose, "Keep your eyes to yourself! This is my wife, Alicia nchard.”


    “Huh? Your wife?”


    After a surprised cry, Matt instantly calmed himself down.


    "Sorry about that, I''ve just returned


    from overseasecently and haven''t


    been up to date about anything.


    Frederick,hdw could you do this tox


    me? How.cou d you keep such a


    beautittt wife all to yourself and@not


    intradiice her to me? I almost fought


    wit you over her! Alicia, don''t mind


    US we''re just joking aroud! Who


    would dare to take Frederick''s girl


    away? Frederick would finish that


    guy off!”


    Alicia smiled and remained quiet while Frederick responded, "d that you know that!"


    The two of them clinked their sses together and took a sip. Just then, Trevor walked over and greeted them. Alicia said, "You guys catch up, I''ll go


    get something to eat!”


    "Okay, don''t go too far!" answered Frederick.


    After that, Frederick took back his hand.


    Mrs. Clements couldn''t attend this


    event due to 6ther affairs. Apart


    from Frederick, Alicia didn''t really


    know anyone else. On top of that


    her rtionship with the Clements


    familwas rtively awkward,


    therefore she didn''t dare to


    approach anyone. She coutd only


    head off to eat.


    Alicia hadn''t dared to eat anything at home because she was wearing a gown. There were many foods served at the banquet but everyone just took


    them as decoration. Alicia couldn''t care less, hence she took some biscuits and started eating


    There were dumplings, cakes, and a lot of other food. She didn''t know when the party would end and she thought she might as well get something to


    eat.


    As she took a bite of the cookies, an enthusiastic female voice suddenly came from behind, "Danica, you are here too! I heard that you were back, I


    didn''t get to-"


    When Alicia turned around and saw Penny, she was confused. “Aunt Penny?”


    Penny was surprised and quickly answered, "Oh, Alicia, it''s you! I was distracted by some other things and didn''t recognize people clearly. Please


    don''t take it seriously."


    While smiling. Penny gave Alicia a once-over and muttered in a daze,” When you dress like this, you really look like Danica from before!”
