He put his arms around her waist and said in a gentle voice, "I haven't had tto tidy up yet. Let's talk outside!" He pulled her to the sofa. The first thing she saw was a delicate dessert box. Alicia frowned. Frederick really felt like running himself into the wall. He picked up the dessert box and tossed it into the trash can. He didn't dare to mention how Danica played tricks and didn't give up on him at the art exhibition. This time, she made the cake to thank him and more importantly, to apologize.
Frederick explained to her, "The art exhibition was successful. I went to support her, and she made smoney. She made this to thank me!" Afraid that Danica would leave something that would cause a misunderstanding, Frederick was highly alert. He pulled Alicia to the work desk. Before Danica entered the office, he had sorted out all the important documents. She did not cclose to the desk just now.

He caressed her hair and said, "I bet you're hungry! Is there anything you want to eat? I'll get someone to prepare it for you." She moved her head to avoid him from touching her. She was still a little upset as she said, "Whatever!" Alicia was in no mood to talk. Her mind was in a mess. She didn't even know whether she should believe him or not.
Seeing this, Frederick let out a sigh. He picked up the phone and called the kitchen and ordered his usual. At the stime, he added a dessert and fruits.
"Yeah, that's all. And bring up two sets of tableware." Frederick had just put down his phone when something suddenly hit him. "Frederick, you're a big, fat liar!" Getting up, Alicia was so angry that she was stomping her feet.
He quickly looked around and saw the ring box on the ground. He instinctively grabbed her wrist. He was confused and thought, "What's wrong with this?" "Letgo! Letgo!" "Ally! This is for you. Why are you angry?" Although he didn't intend to give it to her, since she had seen it, if she wanted to keep it, he would let her! "You liar! If it's for me, why is someone else's non it? Do you think I'm blind or a fool? You're a liar! When you cback from the art exhibition, her perfand lipstick were all over your clothes. You say that the ring is for me, but Danica's nis on it! During working hours, the two of you were in the room. The dessert is a heart-shaped red cake, and you're tellingit's a thank you gift? The two of you were dressed disorderly, and you're saying it's because of a broken faucet? If I caught the two of you in bed, would you tellthat you were just acting? It's obvious that the two of you are lying to me! I trusted you so much. Why are you doing this to me? You even bought a house for my mother. What do you want to achieve? Are you trying to trick her too?" Was he turning out to be another Jeremy Pitcher? She punched and kicked him and was on the verge of breaking down. Fortunately, she did not mention her father to him! Why did he do this? Was he trying to do something to her, or was there something in her mother that he wanted? At this moment, Alicia felt a chill down her spine. She had just recovered but was afraid to be lied to again! "What's your purpose? Just say it! What do you want? Do you wantto give you my heart, or even my life? I'll give it all to you! Just don't touch my family!" In an instant, Frederick was stunned, "What are you talking about?" Of course, he had done all this to please her! What perfume, lipstick? Where did these strange thoughts cfrom? Seeing his reaction, she believed he was trying to play dumb. She felt like there was no need to talk to him anymore. She stared at her, broke free from him, and walked towards the door. "Ally!" He bent over to pick up the ring and explained instinctively.
"I initially chose this as a wedding ring for you, so that you could wear it to deal with the Clements family. It was just sent here today! I didn't think it looks nice and I dislike it, so I ordered another one. I didn't want to give you something that I didn't like. But what does it have to do with Danica? Do you think I don't know what a ring signifies? Do you think I'll just give a ring to another woman casually?" "Go away! Don't touch me!" "I don't want to hear that!" The more she listened, the more she felt that his words were full of loopholes. When Alicia wanted to leave, Frederick blocked her way. He tried to grab her and she evaded him. Slowly, she was forced into the room.

Eventually, both of them had retreated all the way to the lounge When she wanted to run away, she was already pressed against the edge of the bed, and there was no way to escape. She looked around in a hurry, and noticed stissue paper in the trash can. When looked closer, she exploded in an instant! "What is this? You liar! Liar! You b*stard!" Alicia grabbed a pillow and threw it at him. After that, she collapsed and sat on the ground. She was so angry that she burst into tears.
"Shameless! B*stard! You lied toat home, and you're lying tohere! All of you are bullying me! You even broughthere to be ostracised and bullied! You even have something like this in the office, to do something so dirty in the office!"
She leaned against the bed with her face buried against her knees. She was crying so hard that she could not catch her breath. Her whole body E was trembling. She wanted to leave. She did not want to stay in this annoying place for a moment longer, but she was too weak to move.
Glancing at the trash can on one side, Frederick couldn't help but feel shocked. There were two trash cans here, one with acid, one without. At one this time, there was a pile of trash in it. Inside, it looked like there were sused condoms and tissue. He could even see swhite liquid on them. Not to mention Alicia, Frederick's brain also buzzed for a while. This scene was too real! For a moment, he even doubted whether he was forgetful. If he was not familiar with his own habits, he would really think that he had done something that he didn't remember! When he looked at Alicia who was crying and sobbing, his heart sank.
In his understanding, Alicia was stubborn and proud. She would fight for whatever she thought was right, even if she was unreasonable. She would never cry in front of others She would always look joyful. This was the first the had seen her in such a fragile state. She was so helpless and pitiful, as if she was an abandoned child! Suddenly, Frederick felt that she was just an ordinary and woman. She too needed love and care! Frederick bent down and held her in his arms. He stroked her hair gently.
