Chapter 489
By the time Frederick returned to Promise Garden, the staff had already sent him two big boxes.
In the room, he unpacked all the packages and took out the photo frames. Alicia's beautiful smiling face stung his heart in an instant.
He caressed her face in the pictures, which became more beautiful after touching up. He looked at the pictures where she was leaning in his arms, lovingly looking at him, pouting, and smiling happily. All these scenes were fixed on the moment when she was beside him. His heart was in pain; it was so painful that he could not breathe.
With the photo album in his arms, his eyes reddened once again!
On the sofa, he didn't know how long it took for him to get up. He put several frames on the cab in the hall, on the TV cab, and on the small table beside him. After adjusting them, he couldn't help but reach out and touch her beautiful face again.
When he returned to the bedroom, the place filled with their overflowing memories, he hung the biggest one above their bed. At the same time, the pictures of the two of them covered every corner of the room.
After setting up all the frames, he sat lifelessly on the bed. It was as if he was paralyzed. He hit his head.
When they met, she was like adhesive glue. When she fell asleep, she would climb onto him. He hated her clinginess, but she was always so thick- skinned and energetic. In her eyes, his disdain must have been similar to a child's unreasonable behavior! Often, her lack of consideration would leave him half dead from his anger!
She was very fond of her old home and would go there whenever she had time. She was a workaholic. She worked all sorts of odd jobs to earn some side income. She always cared about her attendance and awards but never asked him for money. When she quarreled with him, she would be angry with him and make a scene. No matter how bad and cold he was to her, she would still take good care of his grandmother. She was sensitive and she was cunning. She looked so pitiful when she was bullied and sick, but she was so brave when she shielded him from the gun.
His Ally was so hard-working, so kind, so weak, yet so optimistic and strong!
Why? Why were the heavens so cruel that they wanted to take her away?
His fists clenched so tightly that creaking sounds could be heard. His eyes, ears and head were filled with everything. In that instant, his entire body went rigid like a rock, but there was still a faint pulse.
He didn't know how long he sat there before he got up and went downstairs.
In the kitchen, just as he picked up the glass of water, an energetic voice suddenly came to his ear.
"Hubby, you're back? We can eat after I finish cooking these two dishes!"
"Watch and follow everything I do! You grill the mushrooms and I'll grill the tomatoes... I already cut them all for you! I'll teach you! What if something happens to me one day and I'm no longer with you? Are you planning to starve to death?"
"I know my husband is the best! Mr. Clements's cooking is hard to come by. It must be extraordinary!"
"I enjoy cooking for you whenever I'm free. It's fun for me... Then, don't make me angry in the future. If you make me angry, I'll punish you to wash the dishes. You'll wash a whole year's worth of dishes!" "Hehe!" A few days ago, she was still playing around him. She was so virtuous, so warm and lively, but now...
His hand movements paused. Frederick couldn't but gulp. Then, he boiled the water and cooked a bowl of pasta. When they came out of the pot, most of the sauce had evaporated. He smiled bitterly and the corner of his mouth twitched.
"Ally, without you, I'm really going to starve to death. I can't even cook pasta..."Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
He casually ate the food which tasted like cardboard in his mouth. Then, he began to wash the plate as usual. He kept washing it repeatedly. He didn't know how long he had been washing it in the kitchen. However, when he went out, the whole kitchen, in his opinion, was clean and tidy. The things he used were all put back in their original places according to his memory.
His Ally really liked keeping things clean!
Although there was still water beside the pot, some food residue dropped on the ground and he forgot to take the trash out, it was indeed the best that he had done!
In the swimming pool, he swam
back and forth until he no longer had
any energy to move his body. He climbed out and like a zombie, he walked back to the room. He stared blankly at the photo for a long time. Only then did he hold her pillow in his arms and slowly close his eyes.
On the other end, Alicia was still locked up in the room. Apart from occasionally being able to go out for a meal with her brother and get some fresh air, she really felt like she was in jail.
Because they were afraid that she would run away and that she would disappear, so besides watching TV and reading books, she spent most of her time sleeping!
However, from the times where she
occasionally went out, she could
also feel that the place where she both good and bad. It
stayed was both
was not simple. These years, she was very aware of how difficult life was, especially since she was in a foreign land. Moreover, her brother had just arrived in Casterwich City and had neither connections nor background. It was difficult for him to have a foothold. Therefore, no matter how sad she was in her heart, she endured it for fear of causing him more trouble and
holding him back! Content belongs

On this day, she was so restless that she howled in the room and then subconsciously touched the tattoo on the back of her shoulder.
It was really a disaster!
She had been missing for so many days. Did
Frederick really think she was dead? What was he doing now? She still had doubts to ask him about. She really wanted to go out!
"No, I have to endure this! I can't go out!"
There seemed to be two forces fighting in Alicia's heart and she became more frustrated. In the room, she swung her hair and danced a few times to vent her emotions.
She did not stop until she heard someone knocking on the door. There were three long knocks and one short knock. Then, she said, "Come in!" Subsequently, Nicholas came in with some fruits and snacks. Behind him, an attendant carried a teddy bear in his hands. The teddy bear looked just like the one in her memory. It hadn't changed even after so many years.
How blind was he? Or should she say devoted? He was so incredible!
When the door of the room was closed, Alicia picked up the teddy bear and pouted. She was about to call him brother, but she turned around and said, "Nicky, I'm not a child anymore!"
He was still using this to coax her. She was no longer a child who didn't know how to behave properly. She would be happy as long as she could eat
and play!
He handed her some fruits and said, "No matter how old you get, you will always be the same in my heart!"
She'd still be his little sister. He wanted to dote on her.
"Eat something! I heard your roar. Have you gone insane from being locked up?"
He took her to the sofa and sat down. He stroked her hair to comfort her.
"Negotiations with the higher-ups
el
are pretty much done. Logan has been trying to see you recently, but kept looking for excuses to stop him from coming! However, your appearance is really lethal to men. I can't stop myself from talking nonsense!"
He then lowered his voice to reveal a hint of pride, "My sister is not ordinary at all!"
Looking up, she smiled and narrowed her eyes, "My brother is also not ordinary!" After thinking for a while, she said, "Nicholas, I want to go out..."
