On the other hand, Alicia, who had been holding a cocktail the whole time, was lost in her thoughts. Jeremy and her sweet and painful past were like the high and low strings of a lute, inadvertently tugging at her heart.
Rushing forward, Frederick snatched the glass out of her hand. "Don't be greedy. You'll get drunk!" Coming back to her senses, Alicia's field of vision was full of him. "Hubby, what are you doing out here? Are you done talking? Did I slip away for too long?" Giggling, Alicia subconsciously tried to look at her phone to check the time.
Stroking her hair lovingly, Frederick consciously blocked her view. He said softly, "It's getting late. It's tfor us to go home!" Instead of staying here and worrying, they should go hand do something more meaningful.
"Okay!" In fact, he filled Alicia's entire thoughts as soon as he cover. Meanwhile, the scene on the stage had long since faded out of sight, getting out of mind. Organizing her bag, Alicia was just about to get down from the high chair when Frederick scooped her up. Grabbing his clothes, Alicia couldn't help but sigh.
"Ouch, my legs are numb. Take it easy! Maybe I've been sitting too long..." Easing up, Alicia subconsciously held on to Frederick. With a slight lift of his hand, Frederick put her back on the chair and then gave her calf a squeeze.
"Is it here?" "Mmm!" Bending over and giving it a firm tap as well, Alicia turned her ankle. At the stime, the silver anklet on her foot jingled.

Taking her hand, Frederick was just about to turn around when Alicia yanked him back. "Hubby..." Why didn't he carry her down? As Alicia batted her eyelashes, she deliberately kicked through the air. Hadn't he just carried her down? Glancing over, he was surprised to see her hand raised as she pouted. However, with one glance, he knew what she meant. In fact, Frederick carried her earlier on without thinking much. At that moment, he felt inexplicably delighted. Then, he reached out and carried her down again.
"Lazy!" As soon as her feet hit the ground, Alicia wrapped her arms around his waist. "Hubby, are we leaving now?" With his seemingly indulgent pampering of her which was possibly influenced by the performance on the stage, Alicia began to wonder if she could use this window of opportunity. Maybe then, she wouldn't have to report to Soaver International! As her gestures becslightly more intimate, she becmore chatty. "Should we go back and say goodbye? Would it be bad to leave now?" They should inform the rest before leaving. But when Frederick thought of Danica, he had no intention of letting Alicia go back there. Just as he was about to say something, he looked up and saw Danica coming out with the others.
He said, "It's alright. They're gone." Just then, Jeremy, who was on the stage, saw the scene. The last note of his song fell into a crunching silence.
Jeremy was dumbfounded for a moment, while the few people who cout had actually heard him sing a little halfway through.
When he cback to his senses, he clutched the microphone and felt regret. Apparently, Alicia hadn't calone! However, it was a rare opportunity for him to meet her here. He had hoped that she would go to Moonlight Bar to give him a chance to say goodbye when he sang this song...
Although it wasn't perfect, he decided not to waste such an opportunity after a moment of pondering. He couldn't wait for next time.
Before getting off the stage, he said with deep emotion, "Over these three years, my true love for you has had no end. I have waited for you for a long time. This time, it's my turn to hold on! I'll keep waiting for you until the sea runs dry..." Turning her head abruptly, Alicia's attention was once again on the stage.
The moment their eyes met, Jeremy smiled, his eyes showing his determination.
He knew how much she had loved him. He knew exactly how pure their relationship was and how well they fit together. Jeremy was convinced that it wasn't just him that kept the memories of those three years If she could wait for him for three years, she must have loved him as well. As long as there was love, there was hope! Never had there been a moment like this instant, when Jeremy begged God so hard for her to be like him, to let go of everything and love again.
Perhaps, others would find him weird and not understand the situation. Trevor and Carson, however, knew a little about the story. At this point, their eyes involuntarily turned to Frederick.
As Frederick's lips flattened into a line, he increased the force of his embrace on Alicia.
Feeling pain in her waist, Alicia abruptly withdrew her gaze. She then subconsciously leaned her body against Frederick.
In the end, Jeremy, who had expected sresponse from her, could only walk off the stage despondently. He could not do anything but look at Alicia.
Women were usually observant. With a few glances and movements from Jeremy, Danica sensed something odd. At once, her emotions fluctuated and her hands clenched into fists by her side.

Not only had Frederick rejected her, but she also felt the man on stage making advances on Alicial Abthat moment Frederick was holding Alicia intimately. More importantly, she noticed the earrings on Alicia's ears... Sure enough, the earrings he had ordered were for her! Danica's heart was in a mess. At this point, she felt unprecedented waves of envy and jealousy mixed with inexplicable hatred.
Just then, several of them said their goodbyes and headed for the door one after another. All the way, Alicia was leaning against Frederick. They were rubbing it in the face of the singles! With the people from the crowd dispersing one by one, Carson then jokingly bumped Frederick's arm.
"Hey, Frederick, if you want to show your love next time, make sure you tellin advance! That way, I'll get a lady over. You guys are totally hurting us by doing this."
With his one hand wrapped around Alicia's head while he rubbed her hair dotingly, Frederick was full of pride. "You can't just pull a random woman over and compare her to my sweetheart. If I don't abuse you, who else can I abuse? You should go back and get yourself one too." "God! I should not have spoken! You hurt my feelings!" Slapping his mouth in chagrin, Carson waved his hand. "Frederick, I'll see you later. Don't forget about my three hundred million dollars!" "You can ask Chet for it tomorrow. If you forget, you'll pay for it yourself." With an 'OK' gesture, Carson walked away and waved his hand at the two.
Then, the two of them also turned to the car.
Just then, Alicia's mind got distracted again as her eyes darted around.
When they got back to the car, her eyes glanced at Frederick now and then. At that, he was distracted by her. Frederick had wanted to buckle her seat belt but couldn't resist hooking her head and kissing her on the lips. Alicia, who was worried about not having a chance to talk, was overjoyed by the sudden kiss. She responded subconsciously as she indulged. X
