Frederick looked up and met Carson's gaze.

"Do you think so as well?

",

"Your care towards Danica is so obvious! From first glance, she does look a little like Danica...

", However, after a few times of interactions, Carson felt that Alicia was completely different from Danica. She was more lively and energetic. Even though she might be a bit much at times, people still gravitate towards her. She was just special!, Frederick pressed his lips into a thin line and he looked over at Alicia. No wonder she would think so!, After a while, he said solemnly,

"I did too little for her!

", One sentence was enough to make Carson understand completely. His eyes widened unconsciously. Had Alicia become more important than Danica?, Without asking any further, Carson reminded him of ways to take care of Alicia and then left., Feeling drowsy, Alicia opened her eyes again. A gleam of sunlight streamed through the window, dazzling her eyes., She knocked her slightly heavy head and looked at the bruise on her hand. She silently rolled her eyes. Was she sick again? When did her body become so weak?, Sure enough, bad luck was contagious!, Fortunately, it didn't happen three years ago. Or else, it could've been worse!, She forcefully held herself up and blinked her heavy eyelids. Her body was still stiff and she felt uncomfortable., As soon as she stretched out her arms, the door of the room suddenly opened, and she retrieved her hand back. She leaned against the bed. It was probably that she felt uncomfortable, thus she turned around and laid on the pillow, which was cushioned with Frederick's pillow underneath., Frederick couldn't help but smile when he saw that she had woken up, seemingly more energetic., He scooped out a bowl of vegetable porridge and handed it over., Before he could even speak, Alicia took it and started eating., Frederick raised his hand and detected her body temperature from her forehead. It had obviously lowered. Feeling relieved, he sat down and thought that at least, she would never jeopardize her health! A woman who cherished herself was always more worthy to be loved by others!, Frederick saw that her bowl was almost empty.

"Are you full?

", In fact, Alicia didn't have any appetite but she didn't want to make herself hungry. She was worried about her own health. Not wanting to speak, she passed the bowl to him and turned her head away. When he saw that she was acting arrogant again, he set the bowl down and said,

"Huh, you're acting up again! When you're this high and mighty, I wouldn't even be able to fight back in the future! Alicia huffed in response., After pondering for a moment, he then spoke.,

"I will call the gardener in a moment and the jasmines in the yard will be gone. What kind of flowers do you like? We'll change it, okay?

",

"I don't like flowers!

" Only now did he remember to please her! Alicia pouted and looked away.,

"Then, let's plant grass!

",

"What?

" She glared at him and raised her voice as she spoke,

"So now you're saying that I'm nothing better than some grass?

", Every word that came out of his mouth was wrong. Frederick couldn't help but give her a sidelong glance. Her ability to pick a fight with him was impeccable. Her words really were harsh if she chose for them to be!, After realizing that she was being too harsh, Alicia pursed her mouth and looked down, pursing her lips., At this time, Frederick also spoke.,

"The tattoo on your back, the butterfly, when you got the tattoo, did you ever think that you would cover it with another flower one day?

", Surely not! If this thought popped up long ago, who would've wanted to suffer twice?, Alicia's eyes flashed and Frederick then continued,

"Don't be angry! I'm not trying to slander you and I'm not looking into your past. I'm just talking about facts, making an analogy!

" Holding her slightly pale face, Frederick's rough fingers caressed it slowly.,

"Similarly, if I have known that you would be the one to live in this house when I built it, why would I go and plant a garden of jasmine unnecessarily? But now, it has become a reason for you to fight with me.

" Although Alicia was still unhappy, she had to admit that he was right., If she knew that there was no future with Jeremy, why would she have chosen to cover up the butterfly tattoo with a flower? If she had chosen to laser it off, she would've needed to suffer from pain once more! If she had known that there would be no future between the two of them, why would she have waited for three years and protected her own chastity so painstakingly?, When Frederick saw that she had finally stopped fighting back, he continued.,

"Back then, when I was with her, I was sincere to her, that's why I did all of these. Now, I treat you exactly the same! She has never set foot in this house. When she left me, this house was still not completely built. I originally wanted to give her a surprise, hence I didn't tell her. In the end, it didn't come in handy. The No. 7 private room of Seventh Hotel was the same. You were the only woman who went in for dinner Before you, I also came back to live here once in a while. The things in the room had been bought in the past two years. All of them are the styles I like and they were all brand new! We have been separated for six years. Many things really just stayed in my memory. It's all in the past!

", With a slight sigh, Frederick stroked Alicia's, hair fondly.,

"Ally, I didn't take you to be her! I only have memories with her quantitatively and there has not been such a profound change qualitatively! You are also the most special woman in my life! Apart from the first glance, you are completely different from her. There are many people who share resemblances with others in the world! If I really wanted to find a substitute, why did I have to wait for your appearance for so long? Why would I have had to wait for someone disobedient and annoying? I used to be hesitant. Yet, ever since I came back and since I met you, I was sure that I wanted you! Why would I still take the initiative to look for her?

", Frederick also felt that these occurrences had been really annoying.,

"Just like the unexpected encounter between you and someone else, it was also a coincidence last night! If not for the fact that it was originally a boys' night, I would've brought you along last night. It wasn't until after I reached that I knew the others were all busy, therefore only Carson and I were left. All the others were there because of Carson's sister; we weren't originally together! You've also seen it, all others were in a pair and only Danica and I were left. All of us used to be friends and we only joined the competition to have fun, so I didn't reject her. What happened last night was because everyone hadn't seen each other for a long time and we might not get to see each other again for a long time. Therefore, I couldn't have been too rude and made it too awkward for everyone. Hence, I couldn't explain myself. I didn't want to pair up with her but because the event required a partner, I joined it for the same reason as you have. Got it?

", Frederick had gone through this explanation in his mind over and over again. He was afraid that he would say something wrong. Every word had been practiced repeatedly. For the first time, he felt that human language was too complicated. He was already exhausted.,

"As soon as you left, I wanted to come out and explain to you but I was caught by a few acquaintances again! If it weren't for Carson's help, I might not have even been able to return home! I excused myself with nature's call!
