Chapter 286


    Upon arrival at Yunga Hotel, Alicia saw a sturdy figure standing at the entrance as soon as she got out of the car.


    Running along, Alicia swooped over in a hurry and hugged him from the back. "Hubby, have you been waiting long?"


    She arrived five minutes earlier. Why was Frederick outside?


    Leaning against him, Alicia wondered


    As Frederick turned around, his pursed lips rxed a little as he saw her pretty smile. Stroking her hair, he raised his hand to sp her slender waist.


    "Yeah, let''s go!”


    Heading into the hotel, the two of them went straight into a private r and Alicia realized that he had booked a table.


    Upon entering, Frederick even helped her to get into her seat, which gave her a startle. Why was he acting so differently?


    When the menu was handed over, Alicia ordered a dish without hesitation. As for Frederic, he had a seafood dish. As he had to drive, he didn''t order


    wine but a drink.


    As they ate, they talked about family life and gossip. The atmosphere was delightful.


    After dinner, Frederick paid the bill while Alicia continued to enjoy her pudding. Naturally, Frederick helped her carry her bag. Before leaving, Alicia felt


    a little guilty when she looked at the leftover seafood. Although she didn''t have to spend her own money every time they dined out, it often made her


    have a sense of guilt, especially when there was wastage. She would always think of her parents, who hadn''t had the opportunity to enjoy such food


    for the past two years.


    They only had simple food for the past two years, even for New Year''s!


    In the past, if she heard someone else make a remark like that, she would have thought they wereining. However, since experiencing that


    herself in the past three years, Alicia finally understood how those people felt. When life was tough, it was really a case of having to worry about the


    next day at the end of every day.


    Even so, she had no right to use those around her or even Frederick. There was no excuse for his wastefulness, even with his conditions. Of


    course, he had the conditions and the ability to do so!Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    There were indeed gaps among people!


    No one was entitled to me others. Rich or poor, everyone had the right to choose. The only thing people could do and should do was to live their


    own lives and work their way up! No matter how envious and jealous people were of others, it wouldn''t change their own dilemma, just like screwing


    others didn''t mean one would rise. To rise, people should set their eyes on themselves!


    As they walked out, Alicia held Frederick''s hand, a smile showing on her face!


    Frederick wandered off in a different direction after walking down the steps. Alicia abruptly tugged him. "Hubby, the car park is this way!"


    "No rush! Let''s take a walk, it''ll help you with digestion!"


    Following his lead, Alicia giggled.


    "Hubby, are you disgusted with me? It breaks my heart when you make fun of me like that! I like to be praised! Can you praise me more from now on?


    You can say that I''ll be prettier and slimmer after my walk, and you''ll love me more! If you say that, I''l be able to walk with you happily..."


    Frederick couldn''t help but smile as he listened to her murmur along the way and clutched her hand. As he caught a glimpse of her out of the corner


    of his eye, his pace gradually slowed down.


    When Alicia stopped talking, she found the two of them standing behind the bus stop sign, facing the abstract cartoon painting.


    Alicia''s heart felt like it had instantly fallen to the bottom. Her eyes unconsciously fell on Frederick''s face.


    "Is this a nice painting?"


    As Frederick suddenly spoke, a cold sweat broke out on Alicia''s back. Alicia panicked as she noticed he was staring at the painting


    What did he mean by that? Did he know something? Was it a coincidence?


    "Why don''t you say anything? Is this a difficult question to answer?"


    When his low voice came again, Alicia vaguely sensed something odd. Unconsciously, she retracted her hand and bit her lips lightly as if she had


    made a mistake.


    "Hubby?"


    Her soft voice carried a doubtful probe. At that point, without asking further, Frederick knew that she had seen the painting before and understood


    what it meant!


    As his eyes narrowed, he looked straight at her. "This painting is a little difficult to understand! Exin it to me!"


    His tone ofmand was unmistakable!


    She lowered her head while she pursed her lips.


    At that moment, a car slowly pulled up to the side of the road, and then Frederick''s cell phone rang. After that, a man holding arge bouquet of blue


    enchantresses walked over.


    "Sir, did you order the flowers?"


    "Yes!"


    After reachingout to take the


    flowers, Frederick signed the order.


    Before the delivery guy turned to ~


    leave, hetooked at the two in


    Surprise. It was the first time he had


    everéncountered deli vering ￠ flowers


    tod Fbus stop at a scheduled time!


    ~


    When Frederick raised his hand, Alicia was dumbstruck and inadvertently put her hands behind her back.


    Did he know about the flowers too? Alicia wondered


    Didn''t she just tell him she didn''t like blue enchantresses? If not, why would he suddenly order many blue enchantresses and have them delivered at


    that time?


    Suddenly, Alicia remembered the phone call he made previously. She had a strange feeling about the tone of his voice!


    And to think that he arrived earlier and waited at the door before entering the restaurant, it was clear that he was acting abnormally!


    Moreover, as a time-conservative person, he took the initiative to spend time walking with her. He even did it in the opposite direction, which was


    even more unusual!


    After dinner, he even took her to the bus stop with that special painting and ordered her a bouquet, which were blue enchantresses...


    Ch gosh!


    Just then, Alicig felt her heart was


    about to jurng-out of her chest!


    There were To many weird things ~


    happening in just one night! He was


    clearlyfrying to settle a score with


    her! However, he did it considerately.

    Seeing her instinctive avoidance reaction, Frederick knew that the bouquet of blue enchantresses earlier that day must have been from Jeremy!


    Jeremy was the only person he could think of!


    Otherwise, what kind of person


    would dare too after Alicia with


    such a big fanfare? Instead of N


    sending ber red roses, he sent herc


    blue enchantresses. She didn''t even


    appreciate it and threw the flowers


    away No wonder she lookedHost


    with the blue enchantresses that day


    and told him she didn''t like blue! She


    wouldn''t let him send them! Content

    It looked like this had been going on for a while!


    She didn''t even tell him a word about it! Frederick was enraged.


    If he didn''t happen to see the pear blossom on the painting and suddenly recalled her, he wouldn''t have thought that a poster that could be seen


    everywhere would have such a story.


    Frederick held the flowers and looked at the poster in front of the bus stop while Alicia had her hands behind her back and her head lowered. For a


    long time, the two maintained their positions without moving...
