Chapter 459
"You're too kind. I always knew you cared deeply for me."
"Haha! Well, I'm supposed to spend the money I've earned anyway. Besides, all I need to do is hold a concert."
"That's true. I'll buy a few more then. Look at how beautifully dressed everyone else is, yet I'm not allowed to wear a gown when I'm out with you." "Alright, I understand. I know I've made a mistake. We'll get whatever you want. By the way, I also ordered a lot of edible bird's nests and three of the luxury bag that you fancy."
"Are you talking about the platinum bag from Hermes? Doesn't it cost millions of dollars? Sebastian, you're so generous to me."
"Oh, I love you so much!" Kianna said ecstatically.
On the side of the hall, there were waves of information going around accompanied by the sound of papers flipping. Slowly turning sideways, the corner of Alicia's eyes fell upon the sight of two thievish-looking people who were talking to each other. She was enraged by a single glance of Sebastian and Kianna.
"Bastard! What a sc*mbag!" she thought.
That was such an extravagant and wasteful way to coax Kianna, yet he was unwilling to spend a single dollar for Alicia's lonely aunt to enjoy her retirement.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Why wasn't he struck by lightning yet? He didn't deserve to live!
Alicia really wanted to splash the drink in her hand all over Sebastian. Just as she was grinding her teeth in dissatisfaction, there was a sudden sensation of warmth around her waist. "What are you so engrossed in, Alicia?"
Frederick had interrupted her. Her moment of anger quickly dispersed. She stopped thinking and smiled cheerfully, replying, "I was wondering if all men are the same. How do you deal with the playboy disease, Frederick?"
Frederick followed her line of sight and gazed below them, spotting Trevor. Trevor had his arms around a woman's shoulder.
After a slight cough, Frederick hugged Alicia tightly.
He answered, "This isn't a disease. Trevor just hasn't found his counterpart yet. He doesn't know what he wants. Being a playboy isn't that bad. It's only considered terrible when he clearly knows he's a womanizer but still acts righteously..."
When she heard this, Alicia's heart started to ache again. She thought, "That's right! If Sebastian had been a playboy from the very beginning, then why did Aunt Freya risk her life for him?"
Then, she said, "So, I'm way luckier than he is! In this world, there's no such thing as a real womanizer. There's only a man who doesn't love you." With another glance, Frederick swiftly tugged Alicia into his arms.
Frankly speaking, men were meant to be more afraid of changing partners than a woman due to their innate physiological differences. It was simply because a man's energy is closely related to his dignity, the both of them have a specific limit.
Alicia squinted her eyes and proceeded to change the topic. "Hubby, who were you talking to just now?"
"The director of Which. He introduced a musician to me because he's interested in holding two more concerts in Casterwich City. I'm not sure if he's going to sponsor or borrow a venue in the future. But he's the kind of man that you like, a half-bald, middle-aged uncle!"
"Ew! Hubby, could you not curb my taste in men? I wouldn't even let him carry my shoes!"
Frederick stopped for a moment and turned around to face Alicia, thinking, "Why is she being so emotional?"
Even though Alicia was emotional, she wasn't bothered to keep it hidden at all.
"He's already so old, yet he's still interested in young ladies. I really hate this kind of shameless old cow! Do young ladies really attract him? Aren't they afraid that there's no turning back after choosing to be with an old man?!" Alicia rambled on.
"Haha!"
Fredrick was instantly amused by her words. He tapped lightly on Alicia's pouted lips and said, "Okay. If you dislike him that much, then I'll stay away from him. The show is about to start. Let's go!"
Alicia had thought about something at that moment. She put her arms around Frederick's waist and questioned.
"Which & Q's show? The clothes that I accidentally cut last time belonged to their company, and here I am regretting it now. I'm quite fond of casual clothing from the famous OL design. Hubby, you're their long-time customer, aren't you? The blue and red clothes are quite captivating. Can we book them first? I'm interested in buying a few of
them!"
Besides, knowing that Kianna wanted them as well, Alicia decided to take them all for herself. Alicia wasn't planning on allowing her to have her way. "No problem. I'll get whichever one that you fancy."
As the two muttered to each other, the lights began to focus on the center of the stage. There weren't any seats around except for the outermost area, so there were still some people drinking and chatting below the stage. The lights then gradually became dimmer.
Shortly, models came onto the stage one after another and displayed their outfits of different colors. There were even big TV screens on both sides of the hall. The drawn- in scenes also showed the details of the clothes and their matching pairs.
As it was a new summer collection
exhibition, the clothes were all
light-colored. The light blue and the extravagant Red-colored clothing went well together. The red and white match was also nice. The styles were the usual, but the details were intricate. Some of them were decorated with lotus leaves and some were handled in the length and length match. Of course, the most special feature was Which's color coordination and its selection of the fabric which made the simple clothes exhibit their exceptional highlights.
Alicia clapped her hands in joy. In fact, she preferred the other two sets of purple and yellow with blue colors. She thought that the blue with white as well as the red with white ones were very plain. There
was nothing special about th
patterns, especially the blue and white design. They were made of bordered fabric that she wasn't a fan of. To Alicia, they exhibited an unsatisfying impression. Subconsciously, she kept talking about those two sets of clothes.
"This one seems nice!"
"Hey, I like this one as well!"
Alicia knew Kianna wouldn't choose the fancy ones as she was just an assistant. Alicia only kept her eyes on the relatively simple-styled ones. She was too focused on the exhibition, and she hadn't noticed that Frederick was whispering to Chet, who then left for quite a while.
After that, the surrounding lights had lit up again. Alicia closed her eyes in response to the lights and felt a little dizzy. At the same time, Frederick raised his hand to shield her eyes from the blinding light.
"Thank you for your support toward Which & Q's color exhibition. Tonight's products have been completely sold out. Thank you everyone, enjoy your time and have fun!" the announcer said.
Alicia felt dizzy as her eyes opened. She gasped, "Sold out? But I didn't have the chance to pick one!" Were they really out of stock already?
Frederick chuckled and explained, "You can go home and pick one later, Alicia. I bought everything for you!"
She immediately looked at him. Her head had whirled so quickly that her neck had almost snapped. "Huh?" Alicia questioned dazedly.
"Last time, didn't you complain about how little clothes you had to wear? So I'm making it up to you this time. I also bought all the jewelry and shoes that were showcased. You can take your time to match them when we're back home."
Alicia slapped her forehead and thought, "What a spendthrift!"
As she was about to say something,
Alicia suddenly thought to herself again, "If I don't spend his money now, I'll probably end up like Aunt Freya in the future. There'll be other women who would willingly spend it in my place." Right then, Alicia no longer felt distressed. She took Frederick's arm and smiled, then she leaned in to give him a kiss. Content

"Thank you! Hubby, I feel a little tired now. Let's go home early if there's nothing else to do."
Alicia didn't want them to be recognized by
Sebastian. Otherwise, it would've been terrible!
"That sounds good."
After that, Frederick took Alicia by her hand and walked out the door.
Meanwhile, as soon as Kianna heard that all the products were sold out, she was so angry that her entire face turned red. Standing in the aisle, she
had an argument with Sebastian.
Concurrently, there was also a similar commotion in the hospital's ward. It was very noisy.
"It was all your fault! Look at what you've done!"
