Chapter 405
"Hubby, do I look okay? It's not too eye-catching right? I don't want any unnecessary attention!
", Alicia tugged on Frederick's hand and examined herself. It was such a normal, plain dress, so she shouldn't look too glamorous in it! She would just hope for the best!, In his eyes, she looked sweet and delicate in the outfit. She was elegant and dainty. She was so beautiful that he couldn't have his eyes on anything else., He held her with one arm and was afraid that he would startle her, so he eventually nodded and agreed., His woman was the center of attention no matter what she wore! It was not hard for her to steal the limelight of the woman on the stage. If Hallie was to be as considerate as her, she wouldn't end up like this, now., His heart ached for her again, and he comforted her by patting her on the back gently.,
"Don't worry too much! You are already being respectful by attending their engagement! If you're not happy there we will just come back earlier! As long as I'm here, nobody can bully you!
",
"Okay! You should prepare as well! It should be fine since Grandma will be around too!
", She helped him pick out a tuxedo while she went to pair her outfit with some earrings., When they went out, Frederick still got her a cardigan. He followed her pace thoughtfully., The banquet was at a luxurious hotel. There were security guards at the entrance. Alicia's breathing became rapid as she got down the car. Just by looking at the situation, she already knew how grand the event was. She had a weird gut feeling and somehow felt that something bad was about to happen., Frederick wrapped his arms around her waist and moved her in front of him,
"Don't be nervous. It'll be fine!
", As they were talking, Levi came up to welcome them,
"Mr. Frederick! The whole place is booked for the banquet today. There is a special passage for the VIPS. Let me show you the way...
", He moved to the side and pointed at a hidden door. Along the way, it was decorated with a red carpet, and fresh flowers were placed at the entrance. The place was lavishly decorated with crystals that shone brightly.,
"Okay!
" Since someone was leading the way, Frederick walked all the way with Alicia in his, arms., When they arrived at the prestigious banquet hall, only then did Alicia know that the banquet that night was very grand. The first floor was connected to the outdoor event venue and the indoor area was accessible to the top three halls. The people who were invited were all influential and famous people. They were all dressed up and came from rich, powerful backgrounds., The melodious sound of the piano resonated in the hall. There were even some celebrities who were invited. Everyone was all dressed up and had heavy makeup on. Some of them had outfits that were very revealing, some had dresses that were slit right up to their thigh, and they were close to being naked. Everyone was colorful and eyecatching., Letting out a deep breath, Alicia was a little annoyed as well. She pouted and said, 'T ve miscalculated! I wanted to be low-key, but I didn't want them to overpower me! Now, I'm totally overtaken! How pathetic!
" She was indeed not in a favorable position! She miscalculated her strategy this time!, Frederick got a drink for her. He couldn't help but chuckle,
"Lowly people with heavy makeup! You're already taken, so you don't need to do such things!
", He said by her ear lowly,
"You look so much better than them when you're naked!
", She almost spat out her orange juice when she heard him. Her face went red and she raised her hand to hit him in embarrassment.,
"Seriously! Aren't you afraid of being overheard?
", Men will be men! Did he just look at everyone and compare them with her?, He took over her glass and hugged her. He even laced his fingers with her and they both got lost in each other's eyes. He smiled unconsciously., Alicia was happy because the proud feeling of his gaze on her was incomparable with anything else. Suddenly, they heard some commotion at the entrance. When she looked up, it was someone in a dashing, silver dress who came in., Danica?, She came too?, On that day, she wore a sparkly, silver dress. Her hair was, het, straightened and tied up in a high ponytail. She wore a pair of long, extravagant diamond earrings, and it seemed like she was sparkling and dashing under the lights., arrived at the entrance When she, she, immediately caught the eyes of many people. , Alicia frowned slightly and unconsciously turned her gaze to the side. She was so unlucky that day., Why did she also wear a dress that was in the same color scheme as her?, However, the two of them had completely different styles. Danica was bright and shiny, whereas she was very plain. One was like a star, whereas the other was like a dust particle! At this moment, Alicia was a little upset!, She leaned into Frederick's side without realizing it, and she also hugged him from the back. He looked at her and pinched her chin. He was quite puzzled himself., The relationship between the two was somewhat awkward! Over the years, the Randolph family and the Clements family didn't seem to have interacted much! Why did they invite the father and daughter here too even after knowing that they would attend?, At this time, a few journalists suddenly came around. They even had cameras hanging around their necks. Frederick turned his body sideways and raised his hands to protect Alicia's face. He then pressed her into his embrace.,
"Mr. Clements, I heard that you've already fallen in love with someone. Is it true that you're going to get married? Is it with the lady in front of you?
",
"Mr. Clements, the Clements family is ranked first among the richest every year, but I heard that you don't get along with your father. Soaver International is an independent company of the Clements family. With the marriage between the Clements family and the Lance Group this time, does it mean that you will not take over the business of the Clements family?
",
"Mr. Clements, I heard that your first love is a childhood sweetheart of yours. She is also the daughter of a rich and powerful family. Is she your fiancee now?
",
"Mr. Clements, do you have anything to say about your half-sister's marriage?
",
"Mr. Clements, when are you going to get married? I heard that you are very loyal. I heard that you will only love one woman and have one girlfriend in your life! Is it true?
"
"It's rumored that you don't fancy women. Is that just a misunderstanding or a twisted statement?
",
"Mr. Clements, would you like to say something?
", Suddenly a crowd of people flocked around and the place was instantly congested; it raised unwanted attention as well. Frederick hugged Alicia tightly after seeing this.,
"Everyone, we seem to have walked, into the wrong hall! It's not my wedding today and it's not nice to steal the limelight of the newlyweds! She is my wife, no doubt. When we have our wedding, I'll remember to send out invitations for everyone. I hope everyone can help us take pretty pictures on that day! However, before then, I hope that everyone can help us keep this a secret and not scare off my wife. Please give us some privacy as well! As for the matter between Soaver International and the Clements family, I think it's inappropriate to talk about it here!
" , Frederick glanced around coldly and said indifferently without backing off.,
"Do I look abnormal to you guys? Is that why you guys have so many weird thoughts? I'm sorry to disappoint you! I can only say that I'm very normal and I love my wife very much. Therefore, please leave your thoughts and pictures... for the newly wedded couple!
", It was at this moment that the security guards came over as well. Then, Frederick hugged Alicia and turned around quickly. He made eye contact with Danica for a moment but his movements did not stop. He turned around and walked to the empty corridor..., Search the website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
