Chapter 1030
It was hard to say whether the accident was a blessing or a disaster!
A mother's strength knew no bounds. At that moment, Alicia felt that she was a strong woman. In order to
protect her child, she could do anything!
Looking at the people in the upper upper class society, she was clearly not lacking in money whatsoever, yet she
did not get to have the family love she needed!
Sure enough, the more people had, the greedier they were!
Mrs. Clements and Christian's love for children was unquestionable, but Penny's family's fear of children had also
becobvious.
It was not a good sign.
Alicia knew that the reason why Frederick had refused several times with sexcuses was because of that.
Clinton was too young. At a tlike that, even the smallest thing could cause a disaster to him.
Therefore, both of them spared no effort to protect their child. However, there were swords that they
needed to prevent from getting out. They crossed their fingers and looked at each other. Both of them nodded at
the stime.
Then, with Alicia holding Clinton, Frederick protected them from behind. Behind him, two attendants helped
Alicia carry sbasic children's supplies, and they went downstairs in an orderly manner.
With four generations under a single roof, that also meant that there were elders and younger ones being there.
In addition to celebration, in order to take care of each other, the banquet adopted a relatively quiet and casual
way of execution. Only slight and slow music was played to enhance the atmosphere of a family reunion.
With Clinton in her arms, Alicia and Frederick first walked towards Mrs. Clements. Seeing the child, Mrs. Clements
was beaming with joy, and let out a cheerful laugh.
"My great-grandson has grown a bit bigger and heavier. He's so energetic!"

Mrs. Clements had just taken the baby over, and Clinton also knew exactly what to do. He giggled, which
immediately made Mrs. Clements filled with even more joy. "Grandma, look at how much Clinton likes you!
He's so happy to see you..." After that, Alicia took out her handkerchief and wiped the saliva off Clinton's mouth.
"The fact that you like Clinton too is great, Grandma!"
However, after all, she was old, and Mrs. Clements only carried him for a while and enjoyed the moment. She
made a kissing gesture at him and then returned Clinton back to Alicia.
"Grandma has no more regrets in life now, it's just
| might..."
"Grandma!"
She quickly stopped her and spoke up with a smile.
"Grandma, you'll celebrate your 100th birthday, definitely! Frederick and | will be filial to you. When Clinton start
to call you Great-grandma, we will cpay our respects to you together at the New Years Festival!"
"Good, good, I'll wait! You're still such a sensible girl. It's really a blessing that Frederick met you! Ally, take good
care of yourself and my great-grandson..."
"Yes, | will! Grandma, you should pay attention to your health and take care of yourself too. Frederick talks about
you every day, and | couldn't even interrupt it!"
As she spoke sweetly, her voice was filled with warmth.
That night was getting even more exciting. At the evening banquet, almost all the relatives of the Clements
family came, with almost none left behind. It was a big reunion like never before, which even Hallie's family had
come. The bustling and prospering scene was really better than the past.
That day, her parents and Nicholas had also come, and Alicia was also happier than she had ever been.
In addition to sfriends who stayed back in Casterwich City for sreasons, or had the spare tto join in
the fun, the whole Clements family mansion was enveloped in a jubilant atmosphere.
The great happiness of a family
reunion and the bliss of the New Year's Eve made Alicia gradually relax and opened her heart to enjoy the annual
banquet quietly. Young people would always have too much to talk about when they got together. Right after
chatting with Caroline, she looked up and saw Victoria and Trevor turning over. They raised their hands from far
away and greeted Alicia.
Following her line of sight, Frederick also saw Trevor who was standing on the side. He seemed
to have remembered something and said.
"You guys keep chatting. I'll go over and have a talk with Trevor! If the baby is sleepy, remember to get someone
to inform me. I'll take you back to our room!"
Alicia nodded. Before she could say anything, Caroline stuck out her tongue first and leaned close to her ear,
muttering, "Look at how strict he is even at his own home, only you could deal with him!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Caroline lowered her eyes and hid behind Alicia who was holding Clinton. She
giggled before Alicia rushed to wave her hands towards Frederick.
"Go, hurry up and go! You're disturbing our chat, and we are getting rid of you! It's still early, and Clinton seems
to be a little excited. He's not sleepy at all! I'll call you if there's anything!" "Ally..."
At that moment, Victoria happened to have run over as well. Seeing that there were several people Alicia knew
being around her, Frederick was finally at ease and went to the other side.
After getting a new glass of wine,
Frederick and Trevor gave each other a signal. Both of them walked to a slightly quiet corner and he chose a
position where Alicia and Clinton were in view before he stood still and clinked glasses with Trevor. After sipping
swine, Frederick proceeded to the main topic.

"There have been too many things that happened one after the other, and | haven't had tto talk to you
alone!"
"Indeed! What a horribly eventful year it's been for the both of us. Ah..." Trevor could not help sighing.
"Selena is back. Does Aunt Amanda know?"
After getting two more glasses of wine, Trevor glanced at the cheerful smile in the sdirection from the
corner of his eyes. Then, he raised his glass and drank it up. "Don't tellyou calledover to talk to me
about her?" Selena was his cousin, but she had nothing to do with him. In that situation, the most he would do
was to keep his ears sharp! After all, it was not something to be proud of, and even in the Clements family, only
a few people knew about it. "How can | help someone else when | can't even help myself? | don't even have the
energy to help you either! It's just that you didn't invite her over this time, and it's a little surprising!"
There were srumors going
around. Casterwich City couldn't keep many secrets. Besides, Victoria had just had an accident. Aunt
Amanda probably knew about it already, considering Victoria was her niece. That day, many friends had come.
There could be sbiases in them not inviting her. Their eyes fell on the three women who were happily
interacting. Frederick thought it was better that way!
He patted Trevor on the shoulder and looked at the way his gaze shifted. Frederick suddenly seemed to
understand something and smiled subtly.
"I won't ask about your private affairs. Still, I'd better remind you to understand your own feelings. Don't follow
the spath as | did. Don't regret only after you lose it!"
He might not be as lucky as Frederick to be able to regain what he had lost twice. Also, he did not want him to
suffer such heart-wrenching despair and pain.
"| called you over because | wanted to talk to you about something else. Heavens Coffee, Hell Ice Liquor and..."
Shifting his gaze, Frederick moved his chin, gesturing at the direction on the other side. At that moment,
Christian and Mason were welcoming friends in the crowded doorway. They were all holding glasses and talking
about something happily. However, the one in the host's position...
Was it Mason?
