Chapter 270
Frederick couldn’t convince her, but he could neither reject her. He nodded eventually. Wasn't the sick supposed to have no appetite? She looked so well, there was no need to worry!
"Okay!"
Grinning happily, Alicia ran to the closet at the side and took out some home wear. "Hubby, I'm going to take a shower and get ready. You clean up the house!”
Before he could respond, Alicia had already stepped into the bathroom swiftly. Just after closing the door, she ran out again and rummaged through the drawer. Frederick watched her scurry around and frowned a little.
How did he get used to this frizzy temper? Him? Clean up the house?
After eyeing the surroundings, Frederick didn't spot anywhere that needed cleaning. He already put her suitcase back in its original place a long time ago! If he really cleaned up in accordance with his mind, none of her things would be left behind. All of them were childish and didn't suit his taste.
After turning twice on the same spot, Frederick plopped down directly on the couch and nudged at the huge Rilakkuma perched on another end. How did she like this kind of thing? It occupied space, looked silly, and its fur often dropped!
He poked at the soft doll, yet couldn't help but set it up to the right position. In fact. the way Alicia held the doll was quite cute!
Before going out, Alicia chose a casual thin sweater and paired it with skinny jeans to change into. She also wore those asymmetrical furry flats and the earrings he had just given her with her hair let loose. This style was casual and fashionable. Even though it was just a normal dinner, she also dressed up and put on light makeup. She was gorgeous.
Pretty women always lit people's hearts up.
Similarly, Frederick also changed into a casual suit with a fitting T-shirt inside. He held her waist with one hand and naturally carried her bag with another, an endearing and protective gaze on his face.
As soon as they stepped out the door, Alicia discovered the house address plate differed from the last. Previously, there was also a decorative house plate. It was a rectangular black marble interface with one side carved with jasmine flowers and the other side with a pattern font of ‘Landrum Garden’. It was beautifully designed in all white, and the combination of black and white looked very impressive.
After a night of sleep, the address plate was actually changed already. It was a similar layout to the previous one, but it became a rectangle plate with a vertical plane. On it was a bunch of lilies with ‘Promise Garden’ arranged vertically, artistically. In order to cover the original plate, the new plate was greatly enlarged. The design was even better than the last; it was more eye- catching and elegant.
His efficiency was too high, wasn't it? When they locked eyes, Frederick gave her a faint smile, understanding each other tacitly.
With money, everything could be done with high efficiency. If it were not for fear of disturbing her rest. the jasmines in the courtyard would have disappeared in one day toa!Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Inadvertently, Frederick's clutch on her waist tightened a bit.
When they walked past the gates, Alicia intentionally took a glance. As expected, the plate was also changed. She beamed, feeling extremely fresh and energetic.
They chose a well-known hot pot restaurant not far away. The duo did not get a private room but chose a relatively secluded location near the corner since Alicia felt that there was no need to be extravagant for two people. Eating hot pot in a crowded place made the atmosphere more lively.
They ordered plenty of meat and vegetables. Since Alicia ate little in a day. she savored them with a great appetite.
It was rare to see her eating mutton so freely at night. Frederick ordered two more servings for her. "Don't eat too much, it will be hard to digest later! Have some yogurt!"
"Yeah! This spicy food is kicking. Along with chilled yogurt, it's the best!" Alicia just hoped that she wouldn't get diarrhea that night!
Whispering a silent prayer to herself, Alicia gobbled up some more food. Frederick's way of eating hot pot was as elegant as eating western. She couldn't help but give him a sidelong glance.
"My goodness! Hubby, there are no outsiders, you can eat up, I won't despise you!” A man who paid too much attention to his image was destined not to enjoy food to the fullest!
Suddenly, Frederick felt elated, chuckling. "Baby, you aren't really worried that I will dislike you!" This woman in front of him was rather casual. Although she behaved like this, she still looked gorgeous as ever!
"I got used to getting eye-rolled by you..."
The atmosphere became more relaxed as they joked back and forth. Frederick's movements also unconsciously got faster. For the first time, he felt hot pot tasted great!
Both of them were extremely satisfied with this meal
When they walked out of the restaurant, Frederick still helped Alicia carryher bag with one hand, and linked fingers with her tightly tn the other hand. Alicia's stomach¥elt bet etytherefo e she was ina 2-good mood. She walked in he heels with light steps, feeling the rhythm. Life
was so beautiful! "A-choo!"
Out of a sudden, a huge sneeze struck her. Frederick turned around and covered her at once with the coat hung on his arm to warm her. "Don't catch a cold! Are you going to fall sick again?"
Raising his hand, he touched her forehead.
Frederick shook his head and took out a tissue. Alicia leaned against him. whining happily, "No. I have eaten too much hot pot, the spiciness made me well enough!"
She still felt a gust of warmth all over her body and she didn't feel cold at all!
"Well, let's go home! You can't catch a cold from the freezing wind today!" Frederick tightened his arms and touched her loose hair. It was endearing yet domineering.
When Alicia was not fussy and showing her temper, she really could charm the pants off anyone. "Okay!"
On the street, the two of them wandered forward. Alicia glanced around inadvertently and her gaze landed on a florist shop not far from the hot pot restaurant.
On that day, it was uncertain whether there was an ongoing event. The shop was decorated with
balloons and ‘bunches ofblue =. orchids were placed there, =
displayiag a sea of blue flowerss” Theywwere a little distance away and thesduo couldn't tell whetherthey were fresh flowers or wast because of the angle of the light that Alicia saw that the blue flowers appeared to be coated with a layer of golden light, shimmering faintly.
Suddenly, she remembered the annoying bunch of flowers in the office and the gossip that followed Unconsciously, her brows furrowed a little. While observing her fixed gaze. Frederick also turned in that direction. "Why, do you like it?"
Alicia was about to shake her head, but Frederick had already turned around and ran over there. Before she could return to her senses, a large handful of the charming blue orchids had been handed to her.
“It's a pity that these are not fresh. They are dried- flowers, but they can be preserved forever!"
Alicia found that the flowers were really coverett with golden sequins while shewwas hugging them. Under the light‘they were vivid and full ¢ oF fragrance. Fortunately, they wage not real flowers, or else, she should’ ve hated them out of habit! ©
After fiddling with them, Alicia said, "Blue is too melancholic for me! But red. white, and pink roses, I like them all!” Rubbing the back of her head, Frederick lowered his head and planted a soft kiss on her forehead. "Got it. I'll get you other colors next time!” Sure enough, their relationship was getting better!
Standing on tiptoe, Alicia also grinned and pecked on his lips in response. Then, the two embraced all the way, talking and laughing until they got into the car.
On the other side, Jeremy saw this scene while walking out of the restaurant. His eyes couldn't help trailing Alicia's hands for a long time!
After a while, he dialed a number. "Roy, help me with something!”
