Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Chapter 474



Chapter 474

She wasn't expecting Frederick to send Chet to pick her up. She was slightly embarrassed, knowing that she had thrown a tantrum at him, yet he was concerned with her arrival in Casterwich City.

"Alicia, what are you talking about? It's my pleasure to be here for you."

After he handed her the breakfast, Chet placed her suitcase in the trunk then proceeded to send her back home. At the front door, he also rang Frederick to inform him that she was safe.

She felt like a child as soon as she stepped into her house. The people around her were very concerned about her well-being. She noticed a rare sense of happiness within herself at that moment.

She left for work after she changed her attire and tidied herself.

She was in a good mood that day. Although she was busy at work, she was still energetic. She wasn't exhausted at all despite being occupied. Before she was done for the day, she made a call to Freya. She prepared some fruits and snacks, as well as an emerald bracelet that she had reserved for herself before hurrying over to Lovely Scent.

After the two were done with their meal, Alicia then brushed her teeth and put on a pair of gloves to help out at the store.

The store had some flowers delivered that day, but they weren't prepared yet. Seeing that there weren't many customers, Alicia brought out the bracelet.

"Aunt Freya, I know you dislike gold and silver, and you also don't like fame and wealth, so I thought this emerald bracelet would be suitable for you! I found someone who made it just for you. Do you like it? It's been a while since I've given you a gift after coming back for such a long time."

The sparkling bracelet was clearly unique. Freya was also quite fond of it as she fiddled with it. Unknowingly, a glimmer of sadness appeared in her eyes.

"Why are you wasting your money on me? Having you here everyday is already the best present you've given me! You don't have to give me these little gifts. I think it's better if you give this to my sister!"

Freya fondled the emerald bracelet before placing it back into its box again.

"Aunty Freya!" Alicia took it out and vehemently attached it on her wrist.

"I'll buy one for my mom once she's back. This one's specially made for you! I'm glad you like it. I personally purchased it with my own salary for you, Aunt Freya, so you must accept it!"

Freya wasn't the type to dress up. Initially, Alicia wasn't certain about what to give her. Finally, she came to a decision that emerald was more suitable for her aunt, so she chose an emerald bracelet. After all, she recently gained her crafting skills not too long ago. In Alicia's heart, Aunt Freya was also her mentor besides being related to her. She was her precious aunt who was constantly by her side especially when her parents weren't there for her. Freya fondled the bracelet a few more times before she stopped and said, "Alright!"

"Please wait for a moment, Aunt Freya. Let me go settle the flowers!" Alicia hummed as she walked inside towards the sofa. She also fiddled with the pair of scissors in her hands.

Over at the counter, Freya had sorted out the account books. She also packed up the finished products from the last few orders, then pasted a butterfly knot label on them.

The store had no customers at that time. The two of them were simply busy with their own work. Occasionally, they took a break and chatted with each other. Time passed peacefully...

After Freya was done sorting out the books, she raised her eyes and noticed Alicia fiddling with the flowers. Alicia had a serious expression, yet her posture was elegant and beautiful. She was undeniably glowing under the lights, and she seemed more graceful than the flowers themselves.

Once the coffee was brewed, Freya handed Alicia a cup of it. With a rare quiet smile on her face, Freya said, "Have a cup of coffee and get some rest. The flowers seem to be well- handled. You almost made them into a work of art! Are you in a good mood today?"

"I guess I am."

After placing down the scissors, Alicia went to wash her hands first. Her eyes were shining bright, and they were full of sweet tenderness. She giggled, "I went to Lesterdam City yesterday, so..."

While drinking her coffee, Alicia bit her luscious lips as if she was a girl who had just fallen in love.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Upon hearing this, Freya laughed as well, "No wonder you're so cheerful today! Ally, do you really love him that much?"

Gazing down, Alicia spoke while pouting.

"I think so... Back then, he used to have a bad temper, but would still spoil me. Yet now, he's more accommodating with me. We had an argument yesterday. I was stubborn at first but he still

around and complied with me. I can gladly say that he's the best man I have ever met!" The happiness on Alicia's face couldn't be concealed. When she heard those words, Freya hesitated for a bit, but she still maintained a smile.

"That's great to hear! I always knew you would find your happiness, but you should never be too willful. Being gentle is our greatest weapon as a woman. If you find someone who cares deeply for you, then you should definitely cherish him..."

Before Freya could say anything else, Alicia's phone, which was on the table, suddenly rang. The call was from Frederick. Freya turned around and left on her own as soon as she noticed it.

Alicia simply answered the call calmly. "Hubby?"

Frederick was relieved to know that she had safely arrived through the call. "Are you done with your work yet? When will you be coming back, Frederick?" She asked.

Although she just came back from

vel

meeting him not too long ago, she genuinely missed him. She wasn't certain if it was the fact that she wanted to discuss her aunt's situation with him, or it was something else that was on her mind. Subconsciously, she longed for him, and this feeling was particularly stronger this time.

"Are you not mad at me anymore? Err...The earliest would be tomorrow night, while the latest would be the day after tomorrow, but I'll definitely be back soon!"

"Then I'll decide whether I should remain mad at you or not once you're back here! Also, I'm at Lovely Scent, Frederick. There's a customer entering the store, so I'll be hanging up first. Bye, Hubby!"

Before hanging up the phone, Alicia blew him a kiss then quickly tidied all the fresh flowers and mess on the table.

She placed the flowers away once she was done with them. On the other side, Freya showed some customers the way out. "Take care and please come back again!"

Alicia took her phone and hurried over to the front. Looking at the gift boxes that were piled up at a corner, she casually asked, "Are these all the customer's orders? Aunt Freya, what's this month's profit?"

"It doesn't seem much. After all, there were a lot of issues here this month," Alicia thought.

The perfumes at the store were made from authentic materials. Two of them were made from expensive rose oil from Bulgaria. Alicia was afraid that her aunt was losing money from all the broken bottles, and she had no idea how to help her.

Despite that, she knew that her aunt was strong-willed. From the past until now, she had been living on her own business here at Lovely Scent! "Don't worry, it's almost the same as last month's. It's only about two-thousand dollars less, that's all."

Freya had known about Alicia's concerns. She held the account book in her hand and started counting.

"I've calculated everything. If I take

into account all the orders, I can

earn more than thirty-thousand

dollars this time. Unfortunately,

some of the fragrances are indeed harmful to the customers' bodies. Therefore, I'll be making the fragrances only three days a week. I'll be able to make enough money, and it'll be enough for me to earn a living."

"Aunt Freya, we're a family. If you're facing any difficulties, you can tell me about them." While they were talking, Alicia suddenly thought of something

and spoke up.

"Ah, I forgot something earlier!"

She picked up her phone and texted Frederick: [Hubby, I forgot to tell you that I'm waiting for you

to come back to do the dishes! Haha... I love you.]

As she looked at Alicia, Freya suddenly recalled something.

"Ally, I heard that the electrical station will be repaired tomorrow, and I'm not sure when they will shut down the power, but a batch of goods will be arriving here tomorrow night. Can you help me take a look at it after work? I'm afraid that if I stay alone for too long, I can't finish it myself..."
