"Mmm!" Alicia pulled him up and gave him a big hug. She glanced at the beautiful roses around her with the corner of her eyes, and instantly, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
This scene was indeed beyond Alicia's expectations! The huge contrast also made her excited.
With her in his arms, Frederick felt as if he had obtained a precious treasure. The joy of regaining what he had lost made him feel like he had been reborn! Then, he held her in his arms and drove back home.
Because of their daily routines, they either lived in Promise Garden or Robson Garden, to make it convenient for the two of them to meet, Frederick had specially bought another villa in the Lilac Gold Garden, the second phase behind Robson Garden, under Nicholas's name. They belonged to the shousing area, but they each occupied opposite ends of both phases.
Alicia's mood was full of twists and turns when she returned to Robson Garden.

She guessed that he did scleaning not long ago but it was done rather amateurish as the bed still looked rather untidy. Looking at it, Alicia guessed that he must have done it himself.
She put down her bag, took off her coat, and then turned around, only to see that Frederick did not follow her in. As she walked, she tidied up the room again, then she changed the bedsheet and quilt cover as well. Seeing that the room was neatly arranged, she immediately smiled.
After that, she changed her clothes and walked out. Just as she was about to ask what he wanted to eat, she heard noises coming from the kitchen. As soon as she peeked, she saw him in an apron, looking rather professional. She could not help but feel a little surprised.
It had only been a few days since they saw each other, how had he changed so much? She stepped forward to take a look and saw that the eggs and the sides in the plates looked rather decent. The steak in the pan made a sizzling sound, accompanied by the delicious aroma of the meat. Alicia placed one hand on his waist as she rubbed his back and joked, "Hubby, it had only been a few days, but I felt like we had not seen each other for years! Do you need my help?" "Your job today is to only eat!" Frederick looked back at her with a smile that was like a blooming flower. He did know how to cook a little in the past, but he was rather lazy, moreover, he did not like washing dishes. He barely entered the kitchen before this. Now, he could even wash the dishes! He wanted to do more for her. Even if it was cooking, which he was unfamiliar and unskilled in, he wanted to try and do much more for her! Soon, Frederick served up two steaks. He even prepared instant soup and toasted sbread.
Although it wasn't fancy restaurant quality, the dinner was near perfect. For this, he even specially opened a bottle of Lafite that he had treasured for many years.
Under the shimmering light, the two of them stared at each other lovingly and clinked their glasses lightly. Frederick watched satisfyingly as Alicia enjoyed the steak. The last piece was too much for her to eat so she fed it to Frederick.
"Hubby, could you doa favor? I can't eat anymore." He took the chance to hold her hand as he opened his mouth to eat the meat. He could not help but hold it tightly, and only let her go after he was satisfied.
He cleared the table after he brought sfruits that he had cut up over. Alicia's heart ached a little when she looked at how clumsily he held the plates despite his seriousness. She could feel that he was treating her like a precious crystal vase and would not let her do anything since they entered the house.
Not used to this kind of treatment, Alicia stood up and said, "Letdo the washing!" Not doing anything was not as comfortable as she had imagined, instead, she felt embarrassed! Frederick turned around and swept his gaze down the plate of fruits, "No need! I have already said that I would wash the dishes as punishment for upsetting my wife!" He recalled the last the went on a business trip, she went to look for him, but the two quarreled and she cback in anger. When they parted ways at the station, she said, "After go back, I'll only eat and not do the dishes anymore!" His heart ached as he thought of her flirtatious grumble before she left.
"As long as you are all right, I am willing to wash the dishes for the rest of my life!" If he knew that it would be like this, and even almost losing her, after that quarrel, he would never be angry and separate with her. He would do anything if it meant she could stay alive. Then, Frederick turned around to wash the dishes. Behind him, she happily held the fruit bowl and ate the fruits.
As soon as Frederick was done cleaning up, he felt a soft and warm force on his back. Looking at the soft little hands in front of him, he felt as if spring had returned to the world.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey retreated to their room and washed up. After that, they leaned against each other on the sofa, enjoying the rare quietness and warmth.
"Hubby, I suddenly feel so happy." However, the price of this happiness was a little big! When he vaguely sensed a faint sadness in Alicia's words, he caressed her cheek and lowered his head to give her a passionate kiss.
"So, we must cherish our moments together!" This second chance did not ceasily! Life won't always be lucky!" Frederick was truly grateful, "Were you thinking of your Aunt Freya again?" "Mm, and our wedding!" She felt a little regretful that she could not participate! He pulled her to his lap and held her in his arms. Frederick stroked the strange mole on one side of her face.
"If you'd like, we can organize it every year during our anniversary! You can wear numerous wedding dresses, and I will always be the only groom! People cannot cback to life after death. We can only do our best to get justice for her! By the way, your parents..." "They are all good! Dad can get up
with seffort. I want to pick them up when everything here is over! Actually, as long as everyone in the family is doing fine, it doesn't matter NO where we are or whether we can meet each other. I'm truly grateful for Marshall's help. It's not that I do not trust you, but at that time, I did not dare to mention it to you nor look for anyone close to you!" "I understand! I owe him one. I'll remember it!" He tightened his hug and rubbed his nose against hers.
"As long as you are alive, I can bear anything! In the future, there will be no secrets between us, alright?" He did not want to have any grudge with her anymore, inexplicably allowing others to take advantage! "Yeah, I believe in you! Eyes can tell lies. Even if I see it with my own eyes, I will ask for confirmation right in front of you, only then it counts!" He leaned against her forehead, turned around, and pressed her under his body. The long-lost night was like a sunny day after the haze, lively and beautiful...
This night was destined to be passionate, brilliant, and colorful.
