As soon as his eyes fell on the photo, Chet also saw a clear mark on the woman's body. But at that moment, he only had a vague idea. Before he could clear his thoughts, it was scattered by Frederick's disgusted gaze cast his way.
"Ahem, well... Frederick, I have booked the hotel! But we can't hide it even if we want to!"
Let alone the hotel, as long as there was a bit of news about the Clements family, it could not remain hidden.
"There's no way back. We can only try our best to handle it."
Clenching his fist, Frederick said, "Have you finished the things on Jeremy's side?" Since Mrs. Clements and Alicia were both absent, he didn't bother to pay other people any attention.
As long as he had enough time to catch his breath, he might be able to turn the situation around.
"I've already got someone to mess up a few of his company's contracts. He'll be busy for the time being. I hope he's smart enough to stay out of it," answered Chet.
The only thing to be afraid of was Jeremy being deeply in love with Alicia. Now that the man felt guilty as well, it would not be so easy to contain him.
"We don't need to worry so much for now. Chet..." Frederick signaled. Chet got up and went beside him, and then Frederick whispered a few words in his ear.
"Don't worry. I'll arrange it well."
"Okay. I will be accompanying Danica to the hospital in the afternoon. There's a battle ahead of us. I hope this week could be over soon..." Frederick continued to play a gentle and considerate role. He fetched Danica from the hospital, then accompanied her to watch a movie. During which, he seemed to be focused, but silent.
Spending the past few days with Danica, he only felt that every day seemed like a year.
Whenever he was with Danica, Frederick's mind was accustomed to another figure. Only when the woman in front of him was covered by the shadow of the figure could he maintain a brief period of peace and harmony.
Walking out of the cinema, the two still staggered one after the other. Looking at the tall figure in front of her, Danica could only reach out her hand again. The loneliness in her heart was very strong.
Even if they were taking this seriously, he would never remember to take the initiative to hold her hand, let alone embrace and take care of her.
In fact, Danica knew deep down that all of this was just self-deception.
However, this beautiful scene made her smitten to the point of depravity.
Neither of them spoke as they walked out.
As they arrived at a quiet place, Danica once again looked at the tall and strong figure beside her, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
It felt so good to be by his side!
At this time, they arrived at an open-air leisure restaurant. Frederick suddenly stopped and said, "Are you tired? Would you like to have some drinks?" "Sure, that sounds good."
Then, they chose a seat under the sunshade and sat down. They ordered some drinks and some snacks, as well as an ice cream each.
She could feel that his eyes rarely fell on her. He was holding a fruit in his hand while looking in the distance where the sun was setting. Danica suddenly said, "Why don't you ask me about the antidote?"
Wasn't that what he cared about the most? Why didn't he seem to be in a hurry when they were together? He didn't ask anything or stay in her house for a long time, which was completely contrary to his original intention!
Frederick replied, "Didn't you ask me to believe in you? Instead of taking the risk to provoke you, it is better to give a chance to trust each other. Would you even tell me if I asked?"
And even if she told him, he doubted that it would bethetruth.
Even though he said so, Frederick had already overturned all of his previous feelings and thoughts towards her. At this moment, he didn't have any hope at all.
All of this was just a matter of expediency.
As for her thoughts and feelings, he didn't consider them at all.
"Hey, Frederick, how did we end up like this? In the past, we watched movies, ate together, played together, negotiated with each other... We were happy."
It had never been like this before. Even though they were sitting face to face, it was like there was a thick wall between them. It couldn't be seen clearly and couldn't be passed through.
"I used to be the only one in your eyes. We were also very compatible with each other, weren't we?"
Danica sighed with bitterness and thought, "Why can't he wholeheartedly love me once again? Even if it's only for a few days?"
Frederick stirred the coffee in his hand and took a sip, keeping his silence.
When Danica knew that he wouldn't speak or answer, it was a clear sign of rejection. When she saw his languishing eyes again, Danica's heart couldn't help but feel a little broken.
In the end, he only cared about Alicia.
Once a man has a change of heart, he can be really cruel!
She clenched her fists and her sharp fingernails pierced her palms. After a while, she picked up the cup of hot and took a sip. When she
milk tea
put down the cup, she deliberately stumbled and the drink spilled all over her.
S
"Ah!"
She immediately held the cup and let out a cry of pain from the burning hot liquid.
"Are you all right?"
Frederick got up and passed her a tissue. Danica lifted the hemline of her dress, and there was a clear white gauze wrapped on her thigh.
"It's okay, it's okay! I was too careless..."
After a while, Danica purposely pulled the hem of her skirt and put her hands on her thigh. Knowing her intentions, Frederick was a little vague, but he still asked,
"What happened to your thigh?"
She was deliberately making him look at the wound on her thigh, wasn't she? Why?
"Huh? Nothing! I accidentally cut it. It's only some stitches"
Danica was obviously shocked. Not only was she a little flustered, but her pitch was also raised as she answered him. He felt more and more suspicious. Nevertheless
Frederick didn't ask about it in detail
but just questioned her with
concern.
"Be careful next time. The weather's hot now, and it's going to be troublesome if the wound gets inflamed. If you don't feel well, I'll go to the hospital with you."
"No, no! It's not a big deal! It's fine!"
Danica waved her hand dismissively and tried her best to refuse. Her reaction was obvious in Frederick's eyes. She was doing this deliberately!
But why?
For a split second, Frederick was at a loss.
In the interim, Alicia was still in a
state of a daze from sleep, but after a wave of vibrating sounds from her phone, she sobered up. When she opened her eyes, she saw that the phone next to her continuously flickered.
"Who's it?"
She picked up the phone, glanced at it, and thought, "Jeremy? How bothersome!"
Switching the phone into silent mode, she threw it aside and then fell back to sleep.
On the other hand, Jeremy was very busy in his office. While he was drinking water and eating, he kept sending messages to Alicia. There were no replies. Finally, he couldn't help but pick up the car key:
"Ally, don't you trust me?" he thought.
Jeremy didn't know that she had gone abroad until he arrived at her studio. He asked the clerk, "When will she come back?"
"Alicia didn't tell me the details. She only said that she might stay there for another few days if the business is not busy. What can I do for you, sir?"
Before the clerk could finish her words, he had already walked out of the gate and hurried back to the car. He hurriedly made a phone call. "Roy, look for a private detective for me..."
