"Our house is a little shabby. Please don't mind it. Ally, let Frederick take a seat. I'll serve tea for you guys..." Mrs. Blanchard ordered.

Knowing that he was a clean freak and that he might complain, Alicia wanted to find a brand new sheet or cushion to spread over the sofa for him to sit on. In fact, the slipovers of the sofa were brand new as they were just made by Alicia and her mother not too long ago. It was only used for a short time.
As soon as she stepped away, she saw that Frederick had already sat down. She was shocked and froze.
At this time, Mrs. Blanchard had already brought out the teapot.
"I've asked you to serve him. Why are you still standing there? You didn't even serve him a glass of water! Chamomile tea can help you relax and sleep peacefully. You guys often stay up late and would always be under great pressure from work. Drink some. It's good for your health!" Mrs. Blanchard remarked.
"Mom, it's getting late. Go to sleep! I'll take care of him!" After all, Frederick was not an ordinary man. Alicia was afraid that he would not give way to her mother and hurt her feelings. Thus, she had always prevented them from having direct interaction. "Okay, okay, I won't disturb you guys!" Mrs. Blanchard replied.
Although Mrs. Blanchard was dressed casually, she still appeared graceful. Moreover, her smile was warm. She looked very virtuous at first glance, which made people feel pleasant. Before she turned around, Frederick picked up the teacup and drank it. "Thank you!" "Drink more if you like it!" Mrs. Blanchard was pleased to hear that.
After giving her daughter a wink, Mrs. Blanchard went back to her room.
Alicia felt a little weak and sat down instantly as if she just had a fight. She didn't expect that Frederick would be so respectful to her mother that he finished the tea.
Regardless of whether he was sincere or just acting, the gratitude in Alicia's heart was surging at this moment. After seeing Frederick out, Alicia did not say "thank you" this time. Instead, she said very sincerely, "Drive slowly on the road. Be careful! Good night!" Although he felt that her house was so small that it made him claustrophobic, he didn't know why he actually didn't want to leave.
Seeing that she did not ask him to stay, Frederick added in a low voice, "Pack your things for this week!" After that, he did not wait for her reply and got in the car in a sulking manner.
