Chapter 79
He left just like that?
She fiddled with her hands on the spot. She pouted her lips and suddenly felt sad. What did she do? Why would he not give her a chance at all? Didn't she already admit that she had made a mistake?
She dragged her tired body home and was once again welcomed by an empty room filled with darkness.
He didn't come back?
Was he not going back home again?
She was disappointed. Alicia stopped and wondered, "Why would I be disappointed? In fact, why should I want him to come back?"
She must be out of her mind!
She did not fully understand herself. She quickly took a shower and changed her clothes. After that, she climbed onto the bed and punched his pillow.
"Isn't it great to be alone? I can even have the whole bed myself! You are so petty! Must you be angry for that long?" she scolded.
"How dare you not come back! How dare you not talk to me! Then, don't blame me for taking over the house. Tomorrow, I'll change the house into how I like it!"
She vented her anger and suddenly felt that this was a good idea!
After getting up, Alicia first changed the sheets and covers, from one with plain colors to one with pink colors. Then, she took a plush doll from the chair and placed it on the bed. She even took out perfume and sprayed it everywhere.
When it was eleven o'clock, she was already drenched in sweat. She could not stand her sweaty and sticky body. Hence, she went to the bathroom again and took a shower. She was in a good mood.
She hummed a tune and sprayed some perfume on her body, which smelled nice. When she thought of how angry he would be when he saw this, she got happier.
She picked up her pajamas and put them back. She decided to sleep naked that night, and she would do it on his side of the bed. She wanted his area to be filled with her scent. It would be best if he was fuming!
Wrapping herself in a bath towel, Alicia sprayed perfume on herself two more times. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
When Frederick returned from work, he opened the door and froze for two seconds. Was this his bedroom?
The room was full of jasmine fragrance, and his simple blue-white theme was replaced by a pink theme. He looked at the hem of the lacy pajamas hanging on the sofa and frowned.
What the hell? Wasn't this like a baby girl's room?
He had only been on a business trip for a few days. What happened to the room? What the hell was this woman doing apart from attracting other men? He wanted to have a good sleep, but he was triggered by whatever he saw! His nose felt uncomfortable and he wanted to sneeze!
As soon as Alicia walked out of the bathroom, she smelled something different. She seemed to have recognized his scent.
Her hands, which were raking through her hair, paused for a moment. Subconsciously, she turned around and looked at the door.
Frederick was mad. But, when he saw her walking out with a hum, he was stunned. His eyes fell upon her, and such a sight almost made him at a loss for words. The white bath towel barely covered her body. At this moment, her hair was fluffy and eluded a great charm. Even her figure was graceful and charming. Every move of hers attracted him!
Alicia turned around stiffly, and Frederick's gaze started from her ankle and moved upwards. When their eyes met, it was as if a meteor had hit the earth. She did not expect him to come back at this time.
"Alicia Blanchard!"
He spoke through clenched teeth, and Alicia was shocked. She suddenly stepped back. She did not know what hooked on to her bath towel, but it was suddenly pulled down.
A vast and beautiful scenery was suddenly in his sight...
"Ah-"
With a scream, she picked up the towel on the ground and covered her body. She whirled around and rushed back to the bathroom. She
closed the door hard, and a bang could be heard.
As for Frederick, he did not expect such a scene to happen. The moment he saw it, it was deeply embedded in his brain. His head felt like it was going to explode.
When Alicia wore her pajamas and came out, she was blushing all over.
Frederick took a shower while she changed the sheets back to the original ones. It was another round of work. She almost cried on the spot.
Because of this incident, her plan about explaining things to him went down the drain. She could not even make a sound. When Frederick approached the bed, her first reaction was to grab a pillow as she prepared to sleep on the sofa!
But as soon as she moved, he held her.
He was stiff and hot all over. Alicia did not even dare to turn back as she wondered whether he was still angry with her.
"Was he trying to torture me to death?" she thought.
His silent kiss traveled down her fine shoulder blade. On this night, desires were burning... No words were needed.
She had a few nights of relaxation, but she was 'tortured' by him again at the moment. Frederick was very tired, but he could not control his instincts. As for Alicia, she had planned to make peace with him, but she had caused another trouble. She was too ashamed to refuse him this time around!
No matter what, the enthusiasm they had this time had more or less eliminated the estrangement between the two people. Their tensed relationship seemed to have made a breakthrough.
She thought that since he had returned and was willing to touch her, this matter was resolved. However, it turned out that Alicia had her hopes held too high.
When she woke up the next day, she was still facing a cold and unhappy face. Moreover, the first sentence that he told her was ¹ be quiet¹!
Just like that, before she could react, he had prepared himself to leave.
All of a sudden, Alicia realized that nothing had changed! The spark that they had set off the previous night was just an accident!
Such an ambiguous life was torture for Alicia. They treated each other so coldly every day that it was as if she was in hell! This was not the life she wanted!
Her point of view was either to live a good life or to never contact each other. Since they could not choose to divorce and that they could only live under the same roof, then at least they should try to be happy.
She did not expect someone who was superior to her to understand this. Hence, she could only think for herself.
After thinking about it for two days, Alicia finally thought of something. After work, she called Mrs. Clements and visited her with her favorite snacks.
She first watered her garden, then she picked some vegetables to make some ravioli. This time, she did not need Miranda's help. She could independently prepare the meal for the two of them.
While she was busy, she also asked tentatively, "Grandma, this spinach ravioli looks delicious. Does Frederick like it?"
"He loves it! As long as it's ravioli, he will love it. It's just a matter of whether he eats a lot or not!"
"Is that so?" Then, why did he flip over the table with the ravioli she had made? Alicia wondered about this.
"What about the ones with leeks and shrimps?" Alicia continued asking. She had seen him eating those before. So, what was the issue with ravioli?
"He loves those too! Those are his favorite! Especially the ones with shrimp. He can eat two whole bowls in one go!" Mrs. Clements said.
Alicia pursed her lips. She felt sad as she wondered why he behaved that way.
Did he actually- despise her?
Only then did Mrs. Clements notice that Alicia was lost in her thoughts. Mrs. Clements said, "Ally!"
At first, Mrs. Clements wanted to find out if there was something wrong with the two of them. But after she thought about it, she changed her mind and said, "Hurry up! I am hungry!"
