Chapter 467
"That's ridiculous! She wouldn't have given up, right? Don't tell me she's planning a distraction to secretly sneak out of here, is she?" Frederick's fingertips lightly pointed, but he instead sensed something strange.
"Frederick, do you think she's concealing her true capabilities?"
"I don't care about what happened in Western City. Whether she chose not to come back or to take another risk, I think there isn't any problem with her decision at all! But fleeing in embarrassment when she's defeated? That's so unlike her!"
This was the first time that Frederick deeply felt that Danica, whom he knew like a phantom painted by himself, was beautiful but wasn't real. After that day in the hotel, he began to ponder and really doubt the problem at hand...
"It was similar to that year. She told me that she left because of an accident. Even if what she said wasn't entirely true, there should still be some honesty in it! That should be the most embarrassing and miserable time for a woman! However, she left quietly without saying goodbye! For this reason, I have been brooding over it for so many years! I believe she's a person who won't let go that easily! If she really felt that she couldn't face me and left at that time... Then there are only two things that an ordinary person would do..."
Chet answered in a split second, "It's either to break up for good and explain the reason behind it or conceal the truth completely!"
Frederick nodded and gave a bitter smile.
"But she merely left a note for me without saying goodbye, "I'm sorry, I love you". Those words... It felt like she loved me deeply but had to leave because of some difficulties. Chet, I'm certain that you know she was a very important person to me! She left me and still gave me false hope! Thinking back, from the moment we met, I constantly pushed her away from myself, but then as time passed, I started to accept her unconsciously. When she disappeared, I went after her and waited for her... Even until today, I regretted my actions of leaving her. I was completely disappointed and disheartened at the end! Isn't it suspicious? She wasn't as gentle as she seemed to be, nor as desperate on the surface! Deep down, she was the greediest person alive. She was unwilling to give up anything that was hers. Even if she did give up something, she would definitely leave a trail behind. It ensured that she could get it back whenever she regretted her actions! It was her way of manipulating her
belongings!"
Now that he thought about it, she didn't lose a single thing from her decision that she made all those years ago!
Back then, when she left, no matter what difficulties she faced, she would've definitely profited from the contract with East Valiant Commerce! If she had returned to his side that day, the word 'love' would merely be an excuse for her. If he didn't have Alicia, perhaps he would've really accepted her again. From a certain point of view, she was the winner of his heart!
It was conceivable that if he hadn't stood up till that day and was still the young master of the Clements Family who didn't have sufficient influence, then she certainly wouldn't have been involved with him! Therefore, her so-called love and pride were actually excuses to satisfy her selfish desires!
She didn't seem like the greedy type, but in reality, she wanted everything for herself!
She had schemed this for such a long time. Unfortunately, it ended in vain for her. So why did she give up so easily?
Frederick always felt that she would shamelessly return to him whenever they fought. A small matter like this wouldn't have bothered her. Maybe she wouldn't feel anything from it at all! With that resilience of hers, she was able to get up whenever she fell down!
"So, are you trying to imply..."
"Now that we know she's gone abroad, it's safe to say she hasn't and won't be scheming anything soon! Let's withdraw all the people who were on watch! If she wants to loosen up our guard, then let's give her what she wants! Send a message to the staff of the logistics bureau. Keep an eye on the registered capacity of our country. Don't lose sight of the target! Let's continue with the affairs in Western City. The Randolph family can have a slight break, but they won't be able to run away since they're already on our leash!"
"I understand! I'll follow up!"
That day, when Alicia entered the house, she wasn't in the best mood. Her cheeks were still puffed up with anger.
As she looked up, she suddenly realized that the lights in the room were on. When she looked around, she saw Frederick sitting on a chair next to a table. He was still dressed in a suit, but his glass wasn't filled with red wine like it was previously; instead, the liquid in his glass was just plain water. She ran over and hugged him. She placed her chin on his shoulder and rubbed against him.
"Have you been back for long? Why are you sitting here?"
"Also, why haven't you changed your clothes yet?"Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
"Are you still going out later?" Alicia questioned.
As she was thinking, she unconsciously raised her head.
Frederick turned around and pinched her little face. He patted his thighs and said, "Come here, let me hug you!"
She then leaned over and sat down. As soon as her lips began to move, Frederick quickly gave her a light kiss. "Where else did you go that made you this tired? You also seemed upset the moment you walked in."
She puffed up her cheeks and tried not to demotivate him, then she put on a faint smile.
"I went to Lovely Scent to talk to Aunt Freya, but I met a customer who caused a ruckus at the store
and broke a lot of perfume, so I got a little angry..." "Are you injured?" He asked after carefully inspecting her. "Why have you been going there recently? Are you close to her?"
"I am!"
She nodded and almost spilled the beans. The moment she opened her mouth, the thought of her aunt's bitter plea flooded her mind. After a slight hesitation, she swallowed her words and said,
"She's my aunt's friend, a pitiful
woman who was cheated by a man.
I enjoy talking to her and I find the perfume's fragrance to be quite intriguing. She's also willing to teach me more about it, so I just have to work a little harder!"
Frederick held her tightly.
"It's okay to try your best, but don't overwork yourself. If anything happens, call me. If I don't pick up, you can call Chet. Don't try to stay strong and force your way up, understand?" He asked.
What if she ran into scumbags and got caught in the crossfire? What should she do?
"Hubby..." Was there any way to ruin Sebastian's reputation?
"What's the matter?"
Her lips moved a little and she met Frederick's gaze. Then, Alicia suppressed the thought in her heart and was about to ask him for help She wanted to tell him what her aunt told her from beginning to end. Her thoughts were fuzzed up and she
unconsciously paused again.
"What's wrong?"
"I have something to ask... Why haven't you changed your clothes since you came back? I was interrupted by you, and I totally forgot what I wanted to say!"
"I'll be busy tomorrow, so I'm going to Lesterdam City for about a week or so. I have to go back to pack up later. I won't be able to escort you for tonight!"
Frederick sighed and lowered his head to steal a sweet kiss from the corner of her lips. "It's a pity that my schedule is packed. Also, I have to bear with this for a few more days. Thus, I'll hug you now before I leave and regret it!"
"You're going on a business trip?!" Suddenly, something clicked in Alicia's heart. She unconsciously put her hand around his neck and spoke. What was happening? Why did she have a sudden ominous premonition?
