Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Tapping on his forehead, Frederick was a little puzzled, "She is no longer the Danica I knew! Right now, I have no idea what her intentions are." Analyzing her intentions logically, her target must either be his grandmother or Alicia. These two women were his greatest Achilles'heel, but why did she speak with such certainty yet had never taken any actual action? "Frederick, aren't you being a little too suspicious? She is now all by herself, and it's already dusk. Would she still spend so much effort doing all that? At the moment, Kieran is still lying half dead in the hospital whereas the Randolph family is struggling to make ends meet. They are holding on for dear life as we speak. I've learned from the hospital that her illness is troublesome. It's just the cancer; other parts of her body aren't looking too great. Obviously, her days are limited! Being alive and dead were both tortourous.

When he thought of something, Chet parted his lips to speak.

"No offense, but disregarding her health condition, financially speaking, she can't even afford a weapon. At this rate, it would probably not matter much even if she thumped with her full strength. But we have already arranged people to be on their guard against her, just in case! Nothing weird has been found yet!" Despite this, Frederick still seemed to be disturbed by Danica's ambiguous threats. He kept feeling as if an impending doom awaited.

"Chet, would I be crossing the line if I took action against someone who's about to die?" Life was precious to everyone! Although the rules of survival in society were cruel, no one wanted to build their success on dead bodies unless it was absolutely necessary.

In an instant, Chet also stopped to think, "Does he intend to kill Danica?" Chet fell silent while Frederick also hesitated for a moment, "Forget it, I'll reconsider it! Make sure your underlings keep a close eye on her, don't make any careless mistakes..." Perhaps, he should think of a more appropriate way to go about things! After ending the call, Frederick tossed and turned in bed for a long tthat night. He finally cup with the perfect idea the next day that would be the best of both worlds. He immediately rang up Carson immediately early in the morning. "Carson, I need your help with..." Why hadn't he thought about this earlier? Since he couldn't force her to stay out of this, perhaps the answer was in using soft, passive approaches. Since she wanted to make a fuss, he would just send her and her half-dead father to an isolated island to struggle on their own! Instead of risking his own life for a villain like her, it would be better to trap her on a remote island for half a year, letting her turn into ashes herself. Frederick was delayed for two days because of his outing. As he was still awkward with Alicia, he didn't ask much when he knew she had gone to accompany his grandmother. However, he did feel touched about her gesture.

Since Trevor accidentally learned about Elaine, he had been busy investigating. He was afraid that he would miss the opportunity if he put this on hold any longer. Hence, when Victoria said she wanted to spend the night at his grandmother's place, he didn't think much of it.

When the two returned to their own hseparately, they were both caught off guard by the absence of their wives.

Frederick had bought a lot of fresh cherries for Alicia on the way back, but he didn't expect that she still wouldn't be heven after eight in the evening. After asking about her whereabouts, he learned that she was about to have dinner at his grandmother's place. Frederick then brought the fresh cherries he prepared for his grandmother and quickly rushed over. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw Trevor.

Both of them said in unison, "You're here too?" They looked at each other and smiled.

They paused for a while before speaking in unison again.

"Ally..." "Victoria..." Frederick shrugged his shoulders, and Trevor said, "I'm here to pick her up! I can't keep letting her disturb Grandma by bunking here everyday." As they entered the house together, Frederick couldn't hide his surprise, "Are you here to pick her up too? Are both of you also bickering with each other?" This time, Trevor was the one confused. He paused and turned back to look at Frederick, "What do you mean by 'also'?" "What did he mean by that? Was it because he was also in the ssituation? Did he quarrel with Alicia too?" He thought.

As they looked at each other, Trevor continued feeling puzzled. He and Victoria were fine; they didn't quarrel. So, did this mean that she already knew about it when he got in touch with Elaine a moment ago? It was unlikely! His plan couldn't have failed when it had barely even begun! The two of them stared at each other with their eyes wide open. In the midst of their speechlessness, a voice filled with certainty rang out suddenly. "Hmm, you two brothers do have a tacit understanding of each other! This is a classic manifestation of 'wives grandmas!" It was incredibly difficult being a grandmother! She even had to hold her granddaughter-in-laws captive just to see her grandsons.

Erederick and Trevor finally cto their senses. They both started walking towards her; one grandson carrying cherries while the other had exquisite pastries in hand. They greeted her, "Grandma..." Frederick said, "Grandma, it's not what you think. We're just worried about disturbing you so late. We were planning to send these to you tomorrow!" Trevor nodded and also started comforting their Grandma, "Yeah, how could we forget about our beautiful grandmother? We're with desserts because you mentioned that you haven't had much appetite these days!" She smiled. Although she knew that both of them had called before coming, Mrs. Clements was still all smiles.

"As always, your words are still sweet like honey. Cin quickly! We just happened to have have dumplings. What a coincidence that both of you are here together! Miranda, cook all the dumplings we have!"

Stepping forward, the two of them went into the house while holding Mrs. Clements's arms on each side. Aftena while, Victoria cout of the kitchen with a pot of brewed flower tea. "Grandma, look how beautiful the tea I made is." Looking up and seeing Trevor, Victoria's eyes also lit up in an instant, "Hubby, you're here!" She approached him quickly and nodded to Frederick, "Frederick!" After greeting everyone and pouring them a cup of tea, Victoria sat beside Trevor as the two smiled at each other, Trevor's hand on her back.

They chatted with each other while enjoying tea. The living room was filled with a warm and happy atmosphere. After sitting for a long tand not seeing Alicia, Frederick's eyes unconsciously fell on the kitchen behind him.. Miranda had just returned from glancing at the dishes.

"Mrs. elements, the dishes are all ready. Would you like to have dinner now?" Nodding, Mrs. Clements stood up with a smile on her face. Her eyes were filled with excitement as she said, "Let's go! We'll continue there!" At that moment, Frederick could not help but to interrupt and said, "Grandma, why don't I see Alicia around?" They had been here for quite stime! Was she busy in the kitchen alone? "Ally cback after she finished making the dumplings, looking hungry and tired. She said she

wanted to wait for you, but she kept yawning. So, I asked Victoria to keepcompany instead, and fet her rest. We can just call for her whenever we eat. As a family, we shouldn't be too particular to one another, right?" х
