Chapter 294


    Cn the other hand, Alicia, who had been holding a cocktail the whole time, was lost in her thoughts. Jeremy and her sweet and painful past were like


    the high and low strings of a lute, inadvertently tugging at her heart.


    Rushing forward, Frederick snatched the ss out of her hand. "Don''t be greedy. You''ll get drunk!"


    Coming back to her senses, Alicia''s field of vision was full of him. "Hubby, what are you doing out here? Are you done talking? Did I slip away for too


    long?"


    Giggling, Alicia subconsciously tried to lock at her phone to check the time.


    Stroking her hair lovingly, Frederick consciously blocked her view. He said softly, "It''s gettingte. It''s time for us to go home!"


    Instead of staying here and worrying, they should go home and do something more meaningful.


    "Okay!"


    In fact, he filled Alicia''s entire thoughts as soon as he came over. Meanwhile, the scene on the stage had long since faded out of sight, getting out of


    mind. Organizing her bag. Alicia was just about to get down from the high chair when Frederick scooped her up. Grabbing his clothes, Alicia couldn''t


    help but sigh.


    "Ouch, my legs are numb. Take it easy! Maybe I''ve been sitting too long..."


    Easing up. Alicia subconsciously held on to Frederick. With a slight lift of his hand, Frederick put her back on the chair and then gave her calf a


    squeeze.


    "ls it here?"


    "Mmm!" Bending over and giving it a firm tap as well, Alicia turned her ankle. At the same time, the silver anklet on her foot jingled


    When Frederick was considerably close to her, Alicia said with a twinkle in her eyes, "It seems to be... better!"


    "Well, let''s go then.”


    Taking her hand, Frederick was just about to turn around when Alicia yanked him back. "Hubby..."


    Why didn''t he carry her down?


    As Alicia batted her eyshes, she deliberately kicked through the air. Hadn''t he just carried her down?


    ncing over, he was surprised to see her hand raised as she pouted. However, with one nce, he knew what she meant. In fact, Frederick carried


    her earlier on without thinking much. At that moment, he felt inexplicably delighted. Then, he reached out and carried her down again.


    “Lazy”


    As soon as her feet hit the ground, Alicia wrapped her arms around his waist. "Hubby, are we leaving now?"


    With his seemingly indulgent pampering of her which was possibly influenced by the performance on the stage, Alicia began to wonder if she could


    use this window of opportunity. Maybe then, she wouldn''t have to report to Soaver International!


    As her gestures became slightly more intimate, she became more chatty. "Should we go back and say goodbye? Would it be bad to leave now?"


    They should inform the rest before leaving. But when Frederick thought of Danica, he had no intention of letting Alicia go back there. Just as he was


    about to say something, he looked up and saw Danicaing out with the others.


    He said, "It''s alright. They''re gone."


    Just then, Jeremy, who was on the stage, saw the scene. Thest note of his song fell into a


    crunching silence.


    Jeremy was dumbfounded for a moment, while the few people who came out had actually heard him sing a little halfway through.


    When he came back to his senses, he clutched the microphone and felt regret. Apparently, Alicia hadn''te alone!


    However, it was a rare opportunity for him to meet her here. He had hoped that she would go to Moonlight Bar to give him a chance to say goodbye


    when he sang this song...


    Although it wasn''t perfect, he decided not to waste such an opportunity after a moment of pondering. He couldn''t wait for next time.


    Before getting off the stage. he said with deep emation, "Over these three years, my true love for you has had no end. I have waited for you for a long


    time. This time, it''s my turn to hold on! I''ll keep waiting for you until the sea runs dry..."


    Turning her head abruptly, Alicia''s attention was once again on the stage


    The moment their eyes met, Jeremy smiled, his eyes showing his determination.


    He knew how much she had loved


    him. He knews-gxactly how pure their


    r tionship-was and how well they I


    i together: Jeremy was convinced”


    that it wasn''t just him that ept the


    memaries of those three years-If


    she could wait for him for three


    (ERTS, she must have loved him as


    well. As long as there wag love, there


    was hope!


    Never had there been a moment like this instant, when Jeremy begged God so hard for her to be like him, to let go of everything and love again.


    Perhaps. others would find him weird and not understand the situation. Trevor and Carson, however, knew a little about the story. At this point, their


    eyes involuntarily turned to Frederick.


    As Frederick''s lips ttened into a line, he increased the force of his embrace on Alicia.


    Feeling pain in her waist, Alicia abruptly withdrew her gaze. She then subconsciously leaned her body against Frederick.


    In the end, Jeremy, who had expected some response from her, could only walk off the stage despondently. He could not do anything but look at


    Alicia.


    Women were usually observant. With a few nces and movements from Jeremy, Danica sensed something odd. At once, her emotions fluctuated


    and her hands clenched into fists by her side.

    Danica’s heart was in a mess. At this point, she felt unprecedented waves of envy and jealousy mixed with inexplicable hatred


    Just then, several of them said their goodbyes and headed for the door one after another. All the way, Alicia was leaning against Frederick. They were


    rubbing it in the face of the singles!


    With the people from the crowd dispersing one by one, Carson then jokingly bumped Frederick''s arm


    "Hey, Frederick, if you want to show your love next time, make sure you tell me in advance! That way, I''ll get ady over. You guys are totally hurting

    "You can ask Chet for it tomorrow. If you forget, you''ll pay for it yourself."


    With an ''OK'' gesture, Carson walked away and waved his hand at the two.


    Then, the two of them also turned to the car.


    Just then, Alicia''s mind got distracted again as her eyes darted around. When they got back to the car. her eyes nced at Frederick now and then.


    At that, he was distracted by her. Frederick had wanted to buckle her seat belt but couldn''t resist hooking her head and kissing her on the lips.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    Alicia, who was worried about not having a chance to talk, was overjoyed by the sudden kiss. She responded subconsciously as she indulged.
