around Casterwich City before heading to the hotel. Chet was already waiting forthem there. Originally, the mother and daughter wanted to tell Frederick about their family situation, but because of Chet's appearance, it was put on hold. They had a good conversation during the meal. When they arrived at the destination, that was when Alicia found out that Frederick had already chosen a house for her mother. Everything was already done. As long as she provided her documents and signed the paperwork, the transfer procedure would be completed.
When they suddenly arrived at a high-end residential area and saw the gorgeous house and location, Alicia and Mrs. Blanchard were surprised. Alicia's eyes becteary, but Mrs. Blanchard didn't look like she was willing to accept it.
Frederick noticed this.
"Mom, this is what I should do! Don't feel burdened, just sign it! In fact, I haven't given Ally anything valuable. Take this as a wedding gift to Ally! Ally gets homesick easily, so it's more convenient if you were to stay nearby. It would also be better to have family around. I should have done this earlier. I plan to have a wedding ceremony in the future." Hearing Frederick's words, Alicia was surprised. She was afraid that he was just trying to persuade Mrs. Blanchard. As soon as they met each other's eyes, she saw him nodding seriously.
Under their combined persuasion, Mrs. Blanchard finally agreed. She went off with Chet to complete the transfer procedures.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThroughout the day, Alicia was really moved. She had to hold back her tears several times. After sending her mother home, Alicia threw herself into Frederick's arms and hugged him tightly. She couldn't help but sniffle.
"Silly girl!" Suddenly, Frederick felt he owed her a lot! She was actually moved by such a small gesture! "Thank you, hubby! Let's go on a date tonight!" Since he said that he wanted to treat her mother to a meal, she had cancelled the date with Victoria. All of a sudden, Alicia wanted to date Frederick! Just as he was about to nod his head, he suddenly remembered something. Frederick pinched her little face and said, "Not tonight. I'm going to an art exhibition later!" "An art exhibition?" Alicia was a little surprised, but Frederick spoke first, "I can't take you there today!" After hesitating for a moment, he said, "It's Danica's art exhibition!" As soon as he finished speaking, Alicia slowly withdrew her hand. She turned back and sat in the passenger seat. She was obviously unhappy.
Had everything that had happened the whole day just been his way of shutting her up? He caressed her head to comfort her.
"Don't misunderstand. I'm bringing Chet with me. It's just not too appropriate to bring you with me. She's just only returned, and needs something to boost her career. I'm just going there to help her a little, and there's nothing else that's going to happen. I was worried that you'd be jealous, that's why I didn't tell you." Frederick let out a sigh. He didn't know what to do.
Alicia turned around and glanced at him, but she still pouted and said, "I'm not jealous!" Although she didn't like it at first, since he was willing to tell her the truth, she felt that she shouldn't be too harsh on him.
After all, with his status, he had a lot of opportunities to get to know beautiful women. Even without Danica, there could be someone else. If she was being too harsh, their relationship wouldn't last.
Alicia understood this very well. Moreover, she knew that if there was no love, it would be futile no matter how hard she tried.
However, no matter how reasonable she was, she still felt as if something was clogged in her heart.
Holding her little face, Frederick gave her a deep and gentle kiss, "Well, my wife's the best! Why don't we have dinner together first?" "Okay!" Alicia smiled and said, "It's not that important whether we have dinner together or not. Most importantly, you must chome! After that, we can..." Looking up haughtily, Alicia kissed his Adam's apple and put her hand on his belt with a hint. The meaning was self-evident.
Frederick groaned unconsciously. He reached out to pinch her chin and said, "I got it, my naughty girl!" Then he whispered in her ear, "I will cback at night. Get yourself ready..." Alicia rubbed her head against his chest. Her ears couldn't help but turn red.
When Frederick got out of the car at First Sight Hotel, he could see luxury cars gathered at the entrance. From tto time, there were camera flashes everywhere. Frederick pursed his lips slightly and said, "Isn't this an art exhibition?" Why did it look more like a party? There was even a red carpet laid out.
Shaking his head, Chet was also slightly surprised. "It should be! I don't think there are any other events here today!" It was supposed to be an elegant event. However, it looked like a random party at the entrance. Both of them felt a sense of disgust at the stime.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs he entered the exhibition hall, he could see paintings hung on the wall. In the hall, everyone was dressed nicely and most of them were familiar faces from the business world.
As expected, when Danica walked out holding Kieran's arm, she was dressed like a princess. On stage, Kieran took the microphone and spoke with fervor and assurance.
"Thank you for supporting my daughter's first art exhibition. She'd met
exhibit studied art since she was a child and also furthered her studies in America. She's won countless awards, and all of these are her artwork throughout the years. The reason for this art exhibition is of course to share her art with everyone here, and also for charity. On the right side of the hall, all the paintings are available for sale. Of all the proceeds, excluding the expenses, half would be donated to charity while the other half would be used to set up a foundation to support talented students with limited resources!" The audience applauded fervently. Frederick and Chet looked at each other and said, "So, this is the real purpose!" On the surface, it was for charity. However, it was likely for personal gain.
Glancing at her artwork, Frederick noticed that the price of an ordinary painting was 200,000 dollars!
Chet looked around and saw Kieran and Danica walking down the stairs. They then joined a group of men. Chet leaned towards Frederick. "I'm afraid that's not all! Look at them. The one with the brown hair is from the Stewart family. He's a divorcee in his late thirties. He's
famous for being a player. He's had relationships with both men and women from the age of 17 to 5 on Perhaps because he has a son, he never remarried. The men around him all have one thing in common, which is that they're rich, single playboys!" While they were talking, they saw two people walking over.
"Welcome, Master Clements. It's an honor to have you here."
