"The top notes form a person's initial impression of a perfume. They are usually volatile and have a fresh scent. Floral or citrus scents are the best examples of top notes. The middle notes are the most important because they form the body of a perfume and last longer. On the other hand, the base notes bring depth and solidity to a perfume. So this is what the mixture of lavender, bergamot, lemon and bitter, orange leaves smells like...

", The lemon fragrance was especially obvious. Was that the main ingredient?, Alicia kept muttering to herself and she walked, occasionally raised her arm to sniff the back of her hand., Watching her walking and pausing occasionally, Frederick was a little surprised that she seemed to be in a good mood. He walked up to her quickly and raised his hand in an attempt to take over the things in her hands., Alicia looked up as she sensed a presence. The moment she saw him, her good mood vanished and her red lips were drawn into a line., Frederick's hand paused midway the moment he saw her reaction. Even so, he still tried to take over her bags,

"Ally!

", Alicia took two steps back to avoid any physical contact with him and walked past him.,

"Ally...

", Frederick grabbed her by the wrist immediately and blocked her way again.,

"Please, don't be angry. Yesterday, I rushed to the Barrett Warehouse because I thought the kidnapper had you! If I knew it was her, I would have just informed her family!

" As he said that, he took out his mobile phone.,

"Look, the kidnapper sent me a message! I couldn't get in touch with you, so I was frantic. I didn't know until I got there! Time was ticking and there was a life at stake. That was how I fell into the trap! Ally...

" Alicia continued to struggle as her heart flamed with anger,

"A gentleman won't block the way. I won't listen to your explanation! Go away. I don't ever want to see you again!

", Alicia pushed him away with an angry roar and strode away. Her high heels clattering as she walked., Frederick was stunned momentarily. He could feel his heart breaking as he realized how hurtful those words were., He came to his senses and chased after her to the bottom of the stairs. Frederick grabbed her wrist again and said,

"Ally, I'm sorry. I was too harsh the last time! Don't do this, okay?

"Don't you think there were too many coincidences with what happened last night?

", He was just about to say,

"There's someone who doesn't want to see us together.

", However, as the two of them pulled and argued, a bag Alicia was holding fell to the ground. In an instant, a carton of eggs smashed to the ground. The mess from the egg ruined everything else in the bag. Instantly, Alicia became furious. She used the flowers in her hands to bash at him,

"What do you want? Please just leave. I don't want to see you!,

"Security! Security, I'm being attacked!

", Frederick's suit was also a mess, but he seized the opportunity to pull her into his embrace. Then, he glared fiercely at the gathering crowd,

"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a couple quarrel in public before?

", He glared haughtily at the building manager in the lobby, who quickly busied himself at his workstation instead., Frederick held Alicia in his arms and dragged her into the elevator., Since she was weaker and had no choice, Alicia stopped struggling. Instead, she turned her back towards him and pursed her lips., Frederick explained helplessly the whole incident to Alicia from the beginning to the end., Then he continued,

"Ally, don't you think it's too much of a coincidence? I got a ransom call right after your phone was broken! I was in a panic at the time. Now that I think about it, I should have come and checked on you to see if you are at home. I was terrified that something would happen to you. It was already weird that they got the wrong person, but we were also trapped in a cold storage, of all places. Then, you happened to be there when we were being rescued as well. Don't you think it was too coincidental? Why were you at Barrett Warehouse that time? ,

"Ally, you're very smart. Think about it... Why are there so many coincidences?,

"Doesn't it seem like someone wants to separate us deliberately? About the matter in Western City, isn't it the same?,

"Ally, let's stop quarrelling, okay?,

"I'm sorry I was so harsh with you before! I was just unhappy and wanted to leave you alone for a few days to teach you a lesson. I shouldn't have lost my temper with you.

" Frederick explained it so earnestly to her. He was really regretful., Alicia understood what he meant. There were simply too many coincidences about what happened the night before. However, at the same time, other broken images emerged in her mind. Why would they kidnap the wrong person?, Could it be that he had often gone out with Danica behind her back?, Was the scene she saw the day before a coincidence or was he lying to cover up his affair with Danica?, There were some doubts in her mind, but Alicia didn't know which one was true., After all, his indifference towards her and his intimacy with Danica had shaken her faith in their relationship., Staring at him, Alicia wanted to ask him about the clothes and how intimate he and Danica appeared to be on the street that day. However, she swallowed her words the moment she opened her mouth. Suddenly, she was afraid that all these clues would be destroyed by him and that she would be deceived like a fool., She could turn a blind eye to all these things, but she couldn't tolerate any speck of ire in his feelings towards her.,

"Ally?

" She did not believe him. Frederick thought to himself., Alicia didn't get angry this time. She replied calmly.,

"I can feel that you care about me, but I can also see that you care about her too It seems that we are still haunted by the ghosts from our past relationships, Frederick. Now what really need is some alone timeam time. Tam exhausted. Since we are temporarily separated, let's take this time to sort our thoughts out. Don't come looking for me again! Maybe in three months time, we will both understand our own hearts better.

" , He felt her retreat. Sometimes, calmness was more irritating than anger. When a woman did not lose her temper, did it mean that her love was also waning?, The moment Alicia turned around, Frederick pulled her into a tight hug fearfully.'T ve let you down, haven't I? You don't feel safe with me anymore, do you?

" Frederick's arm tightened unconsciously and his heart ached.,

"I don't need time to sort my thoughts out. No matter how much time passes, am very sure and will not change my heart towards you. If Danica had died because of me, Le would have only felt gratitude and guilt, but I have no love for her! In that situation, if you asked me to just watch as a woman dies right in front of me, I can't do it! I will give you time to calm down and wait for you! However, please don't shut me out!

" , He hadn't expected such a thing to happen while they were at odds!, Frederick kissed her hair softly and felt his chest tighten,

"I won't force you, but please let me see you or have a meal with you once in a while. Okay?
