Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Looking at the mirror on one side, Alicia's eyes suddenly lit up. She didn't expect that changing her clothes would really change her temperament! Moreover, not only were the color and style of the gown beautiful, but it also suited her!

She wore a silver-gray gown that reached her ankle. It had translucent lace and a slight slit on the side which revealed her alluring high heels. It was obviously a simple style, but it seemed to be tailored for her. It was not only beautiful but it also fitted her perfectly. It made her look slim and graceful. The dress was elegant and comfortable, and the style matched his clothes.

While she was appreciating the beauty of the dress, a tall figure suddenly appeared in the mirror. Alicia instantly became moody.

"It doesn't match his clothes at all!" She wanted to take back what she had just thought...

As if he could read her mind, Frederick raised his hand and touched her hair lovingly, "Well have this dress!"

Alicia wanted to take her original clothes and shoes, but Frederick didn't let her take them. "Send them directly to my house tomorrow!"

After leaving the address with the studio, he led her out of the door.

Alicia tried to shake off his hand several times, but she couldn't get rid of him. Hence, she gave up.

The banquet was held at home. As soon as they turned into the main road, Alicia saw a field of luxury cars. Security guards were controlling the traffic along the road.

"What kind of banquet is it? It looks so grand!" she thought.

They drove all the way to the main door. When they got out of the car, Alicia had a polite smile on her face. She was not as indifferent towards Frederick as she was before. At least in front of others, she was holding his arm lovingly.

Naturally, he was very satisfied with her performance.

In fact, Alicia didn't like to come here. Most of the people in this family, except for Frederick's grandmother, looked like outsiders to her, which made her very uncomfortable.

After all, she had been to many grand occasions before. These years, she had experienced all kinds of hardships. She had learned how to observe people's words and expressions. Needless to say, she also knew that she was just here to accompany Frederick. Therefore, if Frederick was enthusiastic, so should she. If he was cold, she would just have to nod politely. She knew that the only person who had something to do with her was the man in front of her. She only needed to please him!

After a round of greetings, they walked back to Mrs. Clements' side.

As soon as she saw Mrs. Clements, Alicia let go of Frederick and walked over. "Grandma!"

Holding Mrs. Clements' arm, she was ready to stay with her all night.

"Good girl! I haven't seen you for a few days, and you've become more beautiful now!" Mrs. Clements also liked Alicia very much, no less than her own granddaughter.

"Grandma, you are the best at making people happy!" Alicia praised.

Seeing that Grandma liked Alicia very much, Frederick's expression softened a little.

As Frederick stood there, guests would come over to have a chat with him from time to time. After a while, he was pulled aside by a group of men. Alicia was happy standing beside Mrs. Clements.

Sometimes, when there was no one around, she would secretly take some desserts to share them with Mrs. Clements.

She didn't know why Frederick's family would hold such a grand banquet all of a sudden, but Alicia knew that it was right to talk less! Generally, when people came to talk, she would be smart and steer clear of them. She would rather avoid them than make trouble.

Noticing that the people around Mrs. Clements were almost gone, Alicia came back with a glass of juice. "Grandma!"

"Ally, you really know how to hide from trouble!" Mrs. Clements laughed.

Alicia joked and laughed as well. Mrs. Clements was quite satisfied. Although she didn't know what had happened between them, no one knew better about Frederick other than her. Obviously, Alicia was not a girl who pursued money. On such an occasion, most people would stay beside Mrs. Clements or Frederick to gain more attention. However, she was the opposite!

She guessed that the relationship between them might not be strong enough. However, she hoped that they would work hard and develop in a good direction. Therefore, even if she had doubts in her heart, she did not ask for more.

"Grandma, I don't want to hide either. It's just that there are so many distinguished guests today. I'm not timid. It's just that I'm afraid that I'll ruin your reputation! You can teach me more when you are free. In the future, I won't take a drink for such a long time!" Alicia said.

Indeed, Alicia's explanation was reasonable. Mrs. Clements instantly beamed. When they were talking happily, Frederick suddenly came over.

"Grandma, I'll have a dance with Alicia!"

Alicia smiled and hinted him with her eyes, as if to say, "Why are you here? Who wants to dance with you?"

The next second, Frederick grabbed her wrist.

Just after taking two steps forward, someone came to talk to them. Alicia took the chance to turn around and went back to Mrs. Clement's side.

This time, even Miranda could tell that Alicia was hiding from Frederick.

After exchanging looks with Mrs. Clements, the two smiled at the same time.

Mrs. Clements immediately said, "Ally, you don't have to bore yourself out by staying here with me. Go and talk to the young people! Miranda is here with me!"

"Grandma, I can learn more and broaden my horizon when I'm with you. How can I be bored?" Alicia said.

Before she could say anything else, Miranda suddenly interrupted, "Mrs. Clements, Madam Clements and Mrs. Jenkins are here!"

Looking up, Alicia saw Frederick's aunt walking over while she spoke to a woman around her age.

"Mrs. Clements, I'm here to pay my respects to you!" Madam Clements said.

"Mrs. Clements, I'm really sorry to be here so late! I wanted to wait forQueenie. However, she couldn't catch the flight unexpectedly! I haven't contacted her yet. I only know that she won't be coming back today. What a pity!"

"What a coincidence! Trevor... has something to do today as well. He just flew to Korea! Maybe it's fate, we don't have to be sorry for this. It's all settled..."

After listening to the conversation, Alicia finally understood that the main purpose of the banquet was for arranged marriages or blind dates! No wonder there were so many handsome men and women! NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Since it was to arrange marriages, what did it have to do with Alicia and Frederick? Why should they attend it? If they refused to admit their marriage, Frederick should have just come alone!

Alicia still didn't understand after pondering about this for a while. Of course, she didn't expect Frederick to trick her into coming to this event.

When she came back to her senses, the crowd around her had already dispersed. She thought that Mrs. Clements must be tired when she saw her sitting down on a chair nearby. Hence, she went to get a glass of milk and steamed cake that was prepared by the kitchen.

"Grandma—¹¹ Alicia called.

As soon as she handed it over, another person called in unison. A handsome stranger came over and said, "Mrs. Clements, you are getting younger and prettier!"

Mrs. Clements smiled happily and got up. The two of them hugged each other, and then the man's eyes fell directly on Alicia.

"Wow."
