Chapter 882
"Nicholas, I want to ask you a favor..."
"What did you just say? You want me to deceive Alicia?" A voice full of surprise and doubts came from the phone, but Frederick interrupted him.
"Don't ask about the details. Please believe in me, I will never hurt her. You just need to remember this, Nicholas. I need your help on this matter. I will explain it to you later."
Now, he could not explain to Nicholas in detail, and he could not let Alicia know that she was sick. Otherwise, she would not agree to his decision. "Okay, I understand. How long will it take?"
"Once three days have passed, I want you to keep her busy for half a month." After three days, he would ask Alicia to leave. He could then give Danica an answer. Half a month was enough for him to deal with everything with her.
A moment later, Nicholas replied, "Alright. Leave it to me."
"Thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Frederick took a deep breath and dialed another set of numbers.
In the interim, besides praying and relieving her boredom, Alicia wanted to calm down. After a day of wandering around, she had deeply reflected on her past, and her judgment had unconsciously found a different direction.
In the small house in the forest, Alicia sat there for a long time while listening to the birds' twitter and smelling the fragrance of flowers. It was really peaceful.
Her heart gradually relaxed. Just as she was about to leave, her cell phone rang. At the sight of Frederick's number, she immediately smiled. "Honey? Come and pick me up."
Gladly, she raised her head and looked around. Then, she got up and walked toward the entrance. "I'm in the botanical garden on the west side of Buranda. It's beautiful here."
"Okay."
While speaking, Alicia followed the sign and walked to the east gate.
She bought a sausage, and before she stuffed it into her mouth, she turned around and saw a tall figure appearing at the entrance. She waved her hand and rushed over.
"Honey, you're here!"
She threw herself at him, and at the same time, she stretched one hand away from him.
Frederick reached out to pat her forehead when he caught her, chiding, "You little glutton! Street food is not good for your health!" "Ugh..."
Looking at the greasy and fragrant sausage, Alicia nodded reluctantly and said, "It only cost five dollars."
She felt bored while standing there waiting for him, so she had gone to buy it. She didn't expect him to show up so quickly. She lowered her head, worried that he was mad that she wasted money. Meanwhile, Frederick rolled his eyes and. He snatched the food from her and threw it into a trash
can.
"Don't eat that. Let's have a proper meal while you're still hungry."
Then, Fredrick circled her in his arms and guided her to the side of the road. "What do you want to eat?"
Feeling his warmth, Alicia's confidence rose. "Are you okay with a buffet? We can eat anything we want!" "That's a good idea."
After selecting a high-end buffet restaurant, Frederick walked to a quiet booth, took off his coat, and then took her hand as they went to grab some food.
Along the way, Frederick was in charge of holding the plates while Alicia picked out all kinds of dishes.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
"Honey, have some fish! And the ribs, I want the small ones." Going all the way down the food aisle, the plates of various sizes had been filled several times, and Alicia was very excited.
After they got back to their seat, she took a steamed dumpling and stuffed it into her mouth. "Hmm, the skin of the dumpling is so hard. It's not as good as the ones I make."
Taking another one, Alicia brought it to his mouth and said, "This is for you!"
Frederick ate it as soon as he opened his mouth. When Alicia was about to take another side dish, Frederick quickly stopped her and said jokingly. "Let's eat some of the main dishes first. Or else, it's not worth the money we spent."
Her appetite wasn't big, and yet she chose the cheapest dishes.
"You're right. I should eat meat!"
She put a piece of fish in her mouth and began to eat as they chatted.
They ate slowly, which was very long and enjoyable. Looking at her beautiful smile, Frederick's gaze was filled with tenderness.
She took a tissue and wiped her mouth. Frederick's voice lowered unconsciously, "Take your time. Don't hurry. Don't eat too much too."
When she smiled, it was like a warm bloom of flowers in spring, which made him feel delighted!
"Okay. Honey, you've finished your work very early today. Is it going well?" She felt happiest when she didn't hold him back. That way, she could feel at ease and stay for a few more days.
Frederick nodded and smiled. "It's going fine."
Although it was unexpected, there was also great progress. If this matter could be completely solved within a month, it was worthwhile to take some risks.
He picked the fish bones and put the meat in her mouth, saying,
"After all, official business can't be solved in a short time. There's no hurry. It's a rare chance for us to visit Buranda together, so I'll take some time to spend a day with you. I'll take you out for a walk tomorrow, what do you think? It just soo happens that the flower festival is around the corner this week. Many places are going to be lively,"
Alicia was too embarrassed to say that she had already gone to the festival as she knew that he'd been there before as well. Anyway, the most important thing was to do what he wanted. Hence, Alicia did not mention any unpleasant ineidents.
Instead, she agreed happily. "Great! My husband is the best! We need to go to the zoo and the aquarium too!"
"Sure."
As they walked out of the restaurant, Frederick put on his coat and led her away by the hand.
The moon in Buranda was bright and clear, just like Casterwich City. It was beautiful. He clutched Alicia's soft hand in his and glanced at the beautiful girl beside him from time to time out of the corner of his eyes.
"Are you tired? Should I carry you?"
"What?"
Looking up, Alicia was about to shake her head in response, but she stopped in surprise. In the past, she had always been the one to take the initiative to ask him to carry her. What was going on with him on this day?
Was it because he was not in a familiar place, so he had nothing to worry about? He didn't need to maintain his identity and image here, right?
In fact, throughout the day, Alicia was obviously a little excited and not tired at all.
However, in her moment of absent-mindedness, Frederick had bent down. When she came to her senses again, she was already on his broad, warm, and safe back.
Hooking her arms around his neck, Alicia was still very happy and nuzzled against his neck. "Honey, I love you so much."
Frankly, Alicia was saying it to herself. At the same time, she turned her head and grazed his ear. Frederick heard every word, and the smile on his lips deepened.
In the dark night, the sound of the wind whistled and Alicia shivered slightly, but the warmth in her chest was like a cozy furnace. She swayed softly like a baby in a cradle. Her long eyelashes fluttered, and her eyelids became heavier and heavier, showing a hint of tiredness.
"Ally, I hope that I can carry you like this for the rest of my life."
"Yes! My husband is getting more and more sensible. Hehe, I only want you to carry me for the rest of your life. You'll still have to do it even when you
get old!"
As Alicia mumbled, she was half asleep, but her grip tightened around him. "You can carry me and me alone. You can't carry other women. You're not allowed to..."
Well, perhaps their daughter could be an exception.
