Chapter 457


    Why would she say that?


    Was Frederick nning to abandon his child?


    If he really didn''t care about the child and thought that the child was dispensable, why would he work so hard? He had even put in the effort to quit smoking and drinking.


    It was obvious that everything was well-nned!


    She couldn''t figure it out, but seeing that Hallie had disappeared into a corner, Alicia quickly left this hotbed of rumors. She wasn''t thinking about this matter anymore, but this trip to the hospital had reassured her.


    After work, Alicia bought some things and delivered them to Lovely Scent. She sat around for a while before estimating the time to bring the groceries back home.


    She was in a good mood while cooking the porridge in the kitchen. Then, she also made a few more side dishes.


    As soon as Frederick entered the house, he heard a pleasant phonationing from the kitchen.


    The corners of his lips subconsciously rose a little. He took off his coat and walked in. When he saw Alicia whisking the eggs, he slowly approached her and hugged her from behind.


    "Hubby, you''re back already? I''m almost done with thest two dishes! We''re having a healthy vegetarian meal today. There won''t be any staple food, so do you want me to cook a few eggs for you?"


    "I''ll eat whatever you''re having. What day is it? Why are you so happy?" He wondered what the asion was for a vegetarian meal.


    "I''m always happy! Come, follow my lead. You''ll fry the mushrooms while I''ll cook the tomato eggs."


    "Huh? We don''t have to do this, do we?" Needless to say, Frederick didn''t know how to cook.


    Frederick retreated as he spoke, but Alicia had already walked behind him.


    "I''ve already diced the mushrooms for you, and I''ll teach you how to do it. What if something happens to us one day and I''m no longer with you? Are you going to starve to death then?" she stated.


    "That day will nevere. At least, I''m capable of boiling the water," he thought to himself.


    But before he could say anything to refuse, Alicia had already held his hand. She even ttered him, saying, "I know my husband is the best! I''m also eager to have a taste of your cooking. Mr.


    Clements''s cooking is hard toe by. It must be extraordinary."


    Although Frederick knew that her coquetry praise was a trap, he was still ttered by it. Just as he was about to ce down the spat, her words motivated him and he tightened his grip on it. Then, under hermand and guidance, he actually managed to fry a te of mushrooms.


    At that moment, he suddenly felt a sense of aplishment as he held the te.


    After that, Alicia quickly fried the tomato eggs with some green onions. Finally, they had prepared a clean and healthy dinner for themselves, and the dishes were undoubtedly appetizing.


    Not long after, they had devoured all the dishes. After dinner, Alicia dragged Frederick to the sink and said enthusiastically, "Let''s share the hard work and wash the dishes together."


    This time, Frederick went behind her to hug her and refused to let go. "Sweetheart, we don''t have to do this. I''ll just call Aunt McGowan toe tomorrow."


    She tried to turn around twice but failed to pull him over to help out. The two of them had circled around the kitchen for a while before Alicia rolled her eyes at him and chided, "You''re cking again!"


    She then turned around and swiftly washed several bowls.


    After washing them, she also wiped them dry. Meanwhile, Frederick had her wrapped up in his arms as he said, "Next time, this kind of rough work should be done by the servants."


    After all, he had worked so hard to earn money so that they wouldn''t need to do such rough tasks by themselves.


    With a surge of warmth in her heart, Alicia smiled.


    She said, "I enjoy cooking for you whenever I''m free. It''s fun for me. I''ll find someone to cook for us when I''ve lost my interest. Besides, I''d like to have more moments like this with you... I''m happy whenever you''re with me!"


    She thought that if both of them had nothing to do together, he would''ve definitely been busy with his work again.


    Caressing her petite hands, Frederick nodded and replied, "Me too."


    As he stood with her in the kitchen that he had once hated, he felt warm and happy. "But I really dislike doing the dishes!" heined.Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Looking at how oily and dirty it was, he still felt that it was very annoying and disgusting, even if he had worn a pair of gloves.


    "You''re such a hypocrite. You''d better not make me angry in the future. If you ever do, I''ll punish you to do the dishes for an entire year!" Alicia teased.


    "Um sweetheart, can we change it a little? Don''t you think the family rules are better? I prefer them over your punishment," Frederick said.


    "I disagree! I just want you to do the dishes. From now on, the rules have changed. Whoever is wrong has to follow the other''s decision. This is a better idea!" she said cheekily.


    "It isn''t!"


    "That''s it. I have the final say! Well be sticking with this."


    They held each others'' hands and bickered. However, in the end, they walked out of the kitchen while talking andughing...


    The color show was a seasonal


    fashion party organized by Which &


    Q. It was said to be held during every season, at least once every half a year. This time, it was organized in the second half of the year. The event was held in a hotel''srge banquet hall, which was quite grand. The guests that were invited were all famous celebrities with high status or charismatic models. It was indeed a magnificent asion.


    There was a T-shaped exhibition booth in the middle of the huge banquet hall. It was surrounded by lounge chairs, dancing halls, a small bar, and a self-service buffet area. The designs, decorations and fashion sense were incredibly stylish.


    When it came to a party like this, the women were usually the majority of the crowd. The men here were present to escort thedies and also to pay the bills. So aside from


    elt


    couples, there weren''t many single men. On the other hand, there were some men who merely came to seek a newpanion. Content

    In the past, Frederick would''ve never attended events like this. However, because of Alicia and the fact that he had started investing in an online business, he had decided to attend the event with Chet and a few of his friends.


    As he walked in with Alicia in his arms, they naturally attracted a lot of attention from the crowd.


    The sight was conspicuous as Alicia took in the whole scene, which was filled with a crowd ofdies from higher society. The first few people that she had noticed were all from familiar TV shows and movies. Her eyes lit up at once, and she couldn''t help but tug at Frederick while shouting in a low voice. Content

    "Look, that''s Brian!" And there was also Beyonce Levin, the best actress! Alicia squealed excitedly.


    Before she had the chance to disy her excitement, Frederick uttered indifferently, "Who are you looking at?"


    As Alicia turned to face him, she saw a dissatisfied expression on his face. He squinted in her direction as if he was implying, "My eyes are blind!" Alicia giggled and leaned her head on him.


    "Of course, they aren''tparable to you. I saw many movie stars so I can''t help feeling excited! The one by Brian''s side is Solomon Levin, he''s one of my mother''s favorite idols. The middle-aged role he yed was really charming!"


    As expected from the movie queen, Beyonce''s temperament was particrly outstanding. Thus, Alicia had instantly forgotten about Bran''s presence for a moment as she stared at Solomon instead.


    Frederick raised his hand to pinch her small cheeks and said in a serious tone, "What''s so interesting about him? When I''m his age, I''ll be more attractive than him!"


    As he spoke, he had already appeared in front of Alicia, blocking her view and turning her attention back to him. Seeing that his back was facing the other side, Alicia suddenly smiled as her eyes narrowed.


    "Haha..."


    She thought, "It''s good that you''re not paying attention to anyone else. Besides, the highlight of this event is the beautifuldies anyway." After that, the two of them went around to socialize with the other guests. As soon as they took a break, two gorgeous youngdies came to greet them. Shortly, they started trying to divert Frederick''s attention from Alicia and toward themselves.


    Frederick was furious. His eyes were narrowed, but then he saw Alicia turning away with a small smile on her face. With a ss in hand, she even took two steps back on her own initiative.
