Looking at how furious Lindsay was, Alicia felt reluctant to talk to her. When she turned around in hopes of leaving, Lindsay grabbed onto the grocery bag in Alicia's hand. Whatever Alicia bought scattered everywhere on the ground.,

"The hell are you doing? Have you lost your mind? What do you want from me? I don't have time for this!

" Alicia shouted., Did Lindsay come all the way to cause trouble to her? Was she that bored with her life?, Alicia was pissed. She bent down to pick up the scattered items.,

"Still pretending, huh? A shameless b*tch is what you are! Riding on your high and mighty horse but deep down, you're just a cheap b*tch. Jeremy is over you! Why are you still texting him? What are you up to?

",

"You're a hypocritical, pretentious good-for-nothing b*tch. You said you're over him but why are you still flirting with him? Calling him in the middle of the night, exchanging texts, and giving him a decorative painting of a butterfly? What do you want? How could you be so shameless?

" Lindsay roared., Lindsay pointed at Alicia as if she was caught red-handed as the homewrecker. She would take her down on the spot if she could., Alicia felt helpless as she frowned. She wasn't getting enough sleep every day. When would she have the time to call Jeremy? Not being bothered by Jeremy could be the best thing that had happened to her. What was up with them? Could she not get rid of him?, What did Jeremy do for Lindsay to get this agitated?, Would Lindsay come and find fault with her when something went wrong each time?, Alicia was immersed in her thoughts and Lindsay's expression turned sour.,

"Hit the nail in the head, did I? Why aren't you saying anything? You're so cheap. Jeremy left you. Why can't you stay away from him? Do you think you can change his mind by giving him some paintings? Keep dreaming! Jeremy is mine now. He still hugs me every night even when I'm pregnant. He even calls me from time to time! You are nothing but another unwanted chew toy. He's sick of you, so get lost!

" Alicia sneered silently at how grouchy Lindsay was. Alicia really thought Jeremy and Lindsay were meant for each other; both of them were psychopaths!, Keeping in mind that Lindsay was pregnant, Alicia held back slightly as she was afraid of aggravating her., Turning around, Alicia rolled her eyes at Lindsay and walked away.,

"What's with your attitude?

" Lindsay shouted angrily., As expected, Lindsay caught up to her as she bawled, stopping her in her tracks. Alicia took two steps back and tried to turn the other way. But the next moment, Lindsay blocked her again.

"B*tch! Don't you dare go anywhere near him anymore, you hear me? Pester him again and I'll send you to your grave!

",

"What do you want from me? What are you doing here if you claim that he loves and cares for you that much? You're obviously lying! I don't have the time of the day for this. Since you see each other every day, don't you know that he calls me at least 6 times a day and sends streams of texts telling me how much he loves and misses me, and wants to see me? Oh right, I almost forgot that you're pregnant! No wonder he sounded so desperate over the phone! Why are you here lashing out at me when you can't even keep your man to yourself? You don't look half decent and you're acting like a crazy woman! No man is going to fancy you! No wonder he didn't mind crawling back to me. Go and take a good look at yourself in the mirror! You're worse than a cheap b*tch!

", Alicia mocked without holding back., Lindsay was infuriated at what Alicia said. As she trembled in fear, Lindsay slapped Alicia.,

"You w*nch! Shameless b*tch! I don't know what Jeremy likes about you. You're just a horny, scheming b*tch! B*tch!

" Lindsay shouted at Alicia., Lindsay tried to slap Alicia again but Alicia grabbed her wrist before she could. Alicia took out her phone and played the recording she took of Lindsay shouting and screaming moments ago.,

"How do you think Jeremy will react when he hears this recording?

" Alicia asked., Realizing that Alicia recorded their conversation, Lindsay took two steps back. Her face turned pale instantly.

"B*tch! You tricked me?

", After screaming, Lindsay suddenly covered her mouth., Alicia chuckled. She raised her eyebrow as she stared at Lindsay.,

"Didn't you just say that I like to play mind games? What will Jeremy think when he hears this conversation? What will he think when he sees that you're no longer as meek as he thought? Do you think he will still love a crazy woman who curses?

",

"Despicable!

",

"It takes one to know one! Now, leave me alone! Let me be clear, I'm not interested in Jeremy anymore! I won't incriminate myself. You can stop bothering me now! If you insist, don't blame me for being rude to you!

", Upon finishing her words, Alicia carried her groceries and got into her car. She immediately left the parking lot., If that slap could restore order in Alicia's life, it was worth it., When Alicia got home, she made a few dishes and a soup. She insisted on preparing dinner for two regardless of whether Frederick was coming back., Frederick returned from the work as the steamed buns were ready.,

"Hubby, right on time! You're in luck! I managed to buy the last two crabs available. They are missing a leg but I got a twenty-percent discount because of it! It was a good deal! Luckily I went there earlier. Else, I won't be able to get them.

", It was just a home-cooked dinner anyway; it should not matter. She would not have bought it if it weren't for the discount!,

"Not bad! Hang on. Did you wait for them to lose a leg before buying them?

" What a stingy woman! She got so excited about a discount!,

"Hubby, you're making fun of me again! I am a woman of principle. I won't snip off the crab's leg just for a discount!

", Alicia served the larger crab that had crab roe to Frederick.

"Hubby, this one is for you! Hurry up, eat it!

", Reaching out to take it, Frederick's gaze turned gentler. After washing his hands, he deshelled the crab. The crab roe was oozing from the inside. The one Frederick had was moisterthan Alicia's. Taking a spoonful of crab roe, Frederick fed it to Alicia.

"Try it. I hope it tastes as good as it looks!

"

, Without hesitation, Alicia opened her mouth and took a bite. She smiled and replied,

"It's really fresh! Just like what the seller said! Hubby! Get a bite!

", As Frederick de- shelled the crab, he practically fed the entire crab to her. Meanwhile, Alicia was still de-shelling the one in her hand without realizing the amount of Frederick's crab she had devoured. Yet, Frederick was mesmerized by how clumsy and impatient she was handling her crab., They had a happy meal together. After dinner, Frederick noticed that something was weird about Alicia's face.,
