For the past few days, he was greeted by silence every time he came back., He said he wanted to have dinner with her, but she would reply that she had no appetite. Sometimes when they bumped into each other, she would go to Lavender Garden and stay there until her mother chased her back!, Ever since that time, she seemed to not like staying at home, nor did she want to go out with him alone. Last time, before it got dark, she would always be at home and she would cook too. Every time he came back, she would either greet him at the door or welcome him home excitedly. The house was always filled with joy and laughter!, But recently, she suddenly became cold. She lost interest in everything, and she was no longer that clingy towards him., The stronger she looked on the outside, the weaker and more sensitive she was on the inside. There was no room for any error when it comes to relationships., She was like a bunny that got seriously hurt! Even the tiniest shock was enough to scare her back to her nest!, If he didn't pick her up, she would probably even spend the night at her parents' home that night!, She wouldn't stay this way forever, would she? A cold shiver ran down his spine. He was really afraid that she would not be able to get out of this since she was so stubborn. Frederick turned around and walked out of the door, At Lavender Garden, Alicia snuggled on the sofa in a daze., Mrs. Blanchard brought the fruits out and took a look at the time. She felt that something was wrong and said,

"Ally, it's getting late!

",

"Yeah...

" Alicia did not move an inch even after answering.,

"Ally, is there something wrong with work? Or...

" Did she have a fight with Frederick?, Before Mrs. Blanchard could finish her sentence, Alicia had already answered her with her mind wandering elsewhere., Mrs. Blanchard sighed, and then she saw Frederick at the door,

"Mom, is Alicia here? Did she fall asleep? I'm here to pick her up!

",

"She's here! Nope, she's not asleep! She spaced out after dinner on the sofa. I wonder what she is thinking? Frederick, did you guys quarrel? Is there something wrong?

", Why was she coming back every night?, Mrs. Blanchard was hesitant to ask as she didn't know what the issue was, and was unsure about whether or not she should ask.

"Mom, it's my fault. I...

", Just as he was thinking about how to explain to Mrs. Blanchard, Alicia came and answered before he could even finish his sentence,,

"It is indeed your fault, isn't it? You have too many meetings and you don't even have time to accompany me!

", She stopped him from teling the truth. Frederick then understood that she didn't tell her parents anything, so perhaps she didn't want to tell them about it. Hence, he didn't continue to explain.,

"Ally, how old are you? How could you be so demanding? Frederick, please bear with her and don't blame her. She's just protective over you and wishes for her man to stay by her side to protect and love her! Don't mind her; she's just too spoiled by you! Ally, hurry up and get ready, it's getting late! You' re already married, so don't be so stubborn! Quit making Frederick come pick you up!

", He felt heartache for Alicia when Mrs. Blanchard gave her a reprimanding look. Then, he said,

"Let's go now.

", He then replied after sending off Alicia.,

"Mom, Alicia is actually very sensible! We get along very well! I've done something wrong recently and made her angry. I'm sorry to worry you! I'll take good care of her, don't worry!

" After bidding goodbye to Mrs. Blanchard, he walked out of the door while holding Alicia by the shoulders., When they got back, she felt that she had been spacing out frequently, but she still couldn't hold it in. Along the way, they didn't talk much with each other. When they got home, she went to the wardrobe to put down her bag. Frederick was also quite upset, hence he went to take a bath., Alicia turned around after she got changed and saw a very pretty gift box on the table. There was even a ribbon on it and a paper bag; it seemed to be brought back not long ago., She walked towards it and opened it., It was a beautiful dress. It was an exquisite pink top with a dainty, blue mermaid-style skirt. It was a simple design but the color was very, special The dress was not tone). ne, old-fashioned or too childish Both of the colors were slightly darker, and the dress looked very elegant and classy. , The dress was very beautiful, but at that moment, Alicia felt very annoyed by it., What's the point of acting without thinking about the consequences, then spending tons of money to comfort her? Didn't he know that that was just making things worse?, She felt so agitated that she had no other way to vent it. She took a pair of scissors and started cutting up the dress into pieces,

"I don't accept it! I don't like it! It doesn't matter how pretty it is, I don't want it! I don't want it at all!

", Then, Frederick came out of the bathroom and saw this scene. He went forwards and grabbed the scissors in her hands. He was also upset at the moment.,

"What are you doing?

", This was the dress he specifically bought for her! Since when did she start having this kind of habit?,

"What's the meaning of this?, Comforting me after hurting me? I don't like it at all! I don't want it! I feel angry just by looking at it! What's the point of spending so much money on me now? I hate this! I don't want these kinds of gifts so you can make yourself feel better! I'm just upset now, and I don't want to smile. It doesn't matter how many things you give me, I just can't be happy! So you think you can deal with anything as long as you have money? Are my emotions not valid anymore? How could you try to please me by spending money on me!

" , Alicia pushed his hand away and felt that she was about to go insane., Would he do this all over again next time? Could she not have her own emotions if she accepted his gifts?, She just couldn't understand, and she was very upset! Why must she accept his gift and forget about everything that had happened? Why couldn't he just let her have space and time to process everything? She hated him acting this way!, Alicia walked around angrily, and she felt that this was driving her insane., Frederick then understood why she was so angry. The anger he felt suddenly went away. He held her and held her shoulders.,

"What are you talking about? This, outfit was custom-made and I ordered it two weeks prior. I specifically bought all the sizes so that no one will have the same outfit as you It's especially for you. How is it related to me seeking forgiveness? Even if I want to redeem myself, I would only want you to be truly happy, and not forced to be happy!

" , He caressed the back of her head as he hugged her. He stroked her hair as he spoke.,

"I know that I've made a mistake this time. I hurt you and made you afraid! You can vent your anger at me, but this is all it is! Don't relate it to anything else! Ally, I really regret what I have done...
