Chapter 267
Frederick looked up and met Carson''s gaze. "Do you think so as well?"
“Your care towards Danica is so obvious! From first nce, she does look a little like Danica..."
However, after a few times of interactions, Carson felt that Alicia waspletely different from Danica. She was more lively and energetic. Even
though she might be a bit much at times, people still gravitate towards her. She was just special!
Frederick pressed his lips into a thin line and he looked over at Alicia. No wonder she would think so!
After a while. he said solemnly, "I did too little for her!"
One sentence was enough to make Carson understandpletely. His eyes widened unconsciously. Had Alicia be more important than
Danica?
Without asking any further, Carson reminded him of ways to take care of Alicia and then left.
Feeling drowsy, Alicia opened her eyes again. A gleam of sunlight streamed through the window, dazzling her eyes.
She knocked her slightly heavy head and looked at the bruise on her hand. She silently rolled her eyes. Was she sick again? When did her body
be so weak?
Sure enough, bad luck was contagious!
Fortunately, it didn''t happen three years ago. Or else, it could''ve been worse!
She forcefully held herself up and blinked her heavy eyelids. Her body was still stiff and she felt ufortable.
As soon as she stretched out her arms, the door of the room suddenly opened, and she retrieved her hand back. She leaned against the bed. It was
probably that she felt ufortable, thus she turned around andid on the pillow, which was cushioned with Frederick''s pillow underneath
Frederick couldn''t help but smile when he saw that she had woken up, seemingly more energetic:
He scooped out a bowl of vegetable porridge and handed it over.
Before he could even speak, Alicia took it and started eating
Frederick raised his hand and detected her body temperature from her forehead. It had obviously lowered. Feeling relieved, he sat down and thought
that at least. she would never jeopardize her health!
A woman who cherished herself was always more worthy to be loved by others!
Frederick saw that her bowl was almost empty. "Are you full?"
In fact, Alicia didn''t have any appetite but she didn’t want to make herself hungry. She was worried about her own health. Not wanting to speak, she
passed the bowl to him and turned her head away.
When he saw that she was acting arrogant again, he set the bowl down and said, "Huh, you''re acting up again! When you''re this high and mighty. I
wouldn''t even be able to fight back in the future!
Alicia huffed in response.
After pondering for a moment. he then spoke.
"I will call the gardener in a moment and the jasmines in the yard will be gone. What kind of flowers do you like? We''ll change it, okay?"
"I don''t like flowers!" Only now did he remember to please her! Alicia pouted and looked away.
"Then, let''s nt grass!"
"What?" She red at him and raised her voice as she spoke, "So now you''re saying that I''m nothing better than some grass?"Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.
Every word that came out of his mouth was wrong. Frederick couldn''t help but give her a sidelong nce. Her ability to pick a fight with him was
impable. Her words really were harsh if she chose for them to be!
After realizing that she was being too harsh, Alicia pursed her mouth and looked down, pursing her lips.
At this time, Frederick also spoke.
"The tattoo on your back, the butterfly. when you got the tattoo. did you ever think that you would cover it with another flower one day?"
Surely not! If this thought popped up long ago, who would''ve wanted to suffer twice?
Alicia''s eyes shed and Frederick then continued, "Don''t be angry! I''m not trying to nder you and I''m not looking into your past. I''m just talking
about facts, making an analogy!"
Holding her slightly pale face, Frederick''s rough fingers caressed it slowly.
"Simrly, if I have known that you would be the one to live in this house when I built it, why would I go and nt a garden of jasmine unnecessarily?
But now, it has be a reason for you to fight with me."
Although Alicia was still unhappy, she had to admit that he was right.
If she knew that there was no future with Jeremy, why would she have chosen to cover up the butterfly tattoo with a flower? If she had chosen toser
it off, she would''ve needed to suffer from pain once more! If she had known that there would be no future between the two of them, why would she
have waited for three years and protected her own chastity so painstakingly?
When Frederick saw that she had finally stopped fighting back, he continued.
"Back then, when I was with her, I
was sincere to her, that''s why I did
all of these. Now, I treat you exact
the same! She.has never set foot i
this house. When she left me, this
house was Still notpletely built
I originally wanted to give hera <<
surprise, hence I didn''t tell her. div the
end,it didn''te in handy. the O.
7 péivate room of Seventh.Hotel was

who went in for dinner! Before you, I
also came back to live here once ina

With a slight sigh, Frederick stroked Alicia''s
hair fondly.
"Ally, I didn''t take you to be her! I only
have memories with her
quantitatively and there has not
been such a prefound change
qualitativelySYou are also the most
special weman in my life! Apart fram
the first nce, you arepletel}
different from her. There are many
people who share resemnces
with others in the world! If-Neally
wanted to find a substitute, why did I
have to wait for your appearance for
so long? Why would I have had to
wait for someone disobedient and
annoying? I used to be hesitant. Yet,
ever since I came back and since I
met you, I was sure that I wanted
you! Why would I still take the
initiative to look for her?" Content

Frederick also felt that these urrences had been really annoying
"Just like the unexpected encounter
between you and someone else, it
was also a coincidencest night! If
not for the fact that it was originally
a boys’ night, I would''ve brought you
alongst night. It wasn''t until after I
reached that knew the others were
all busy, therefore only Carson and?
were efta the others were there’
because of Carson''s sister; wee:
werel''''t originally together! You''ve
also seen it, all others werein a pair
and only Danica and I were left. All
of us used to be friends and we only
joined thepetition to have fun,
so I didn''t reject her. What happened
last night was because everyone
hadn''t seen each other for a long
time and we might not get to see
each other again for a long time.
Therefore, I couldn''t have been too
rude and made it too awkward for
everyone. Hence, I couldn''t exin
myself. I didn''t want to pair up with
her but because the event required a
partner, I joined it for the same
reason as you have. Got it?" Content

Frederick had gone through this exnation in his mind over and over again. He was afraid that he would say something wrong. Every word had
been practiced repeatedly. For the first time, he felt that humannguage was tooplicated. He was already exhausted.
"As soon as you left, I wanted toe out and exin to you but I was caught by a few acquaintances again! If it weren''t for Carson’s help, I might
not have even been able to return home! I excused myself with nature''s call!"
