In an instant, Alicia's eyes nearly popped out of her head. Frederick glanced at the phone and hung up abruptly.

"An unknown number! What is Danica trying to do?

"He thought to himself. As their eyes met, Frederick's heart skipped a beat. He had a bad feeling about this.

"Ally, we didn't...

", We didn't do anything together!, Before he could finish his words, Alicia threw a pillow at him, but not the melon seeds. She turned around and ran out of the door angrily., Actually, she understood that it was not Frederick's responsibility, but she couldn't stop her blood from boiling., In truth, the reason why she rushed out of the room was not that she was mad at him, but because she was afraid that she would lose control and throw a tantrum at him again! Bang!, The loud sound of the door closing rang. Frederick's temple twitched a few times.

"D*mn it!

", Danica had seriously become a curse between them! She couldn't ever be brought up. She couldn't even appear in front of them, let alone having any interactions with them!,

"What a headache!

" Frederick thought with a bitter look on his face.

"I did nothing at all!

", All of a sudden, he realized a problem - his past was like a nightmare that he could never get rid of, casting a cloud over him., He felt sorry for the person leaving the world soon, but she didn't seem sorry at all for messing up his life!, At that moment, Frederick's heart that was softened became cold and hard again.

"Chet is right. Like a nightmare that cannot be gotten rid of, she will take him for granted and keep asking for more!

", What kind of girlfriend did he have before? How did he even fall for her? Fortunately, there was no legitimate relationship between the two of them. Was breaking off too much to ask for?, It was the first time Frederick deeply felt that the woman who was once the most important person in his life, was so horrifying. Shouldn't there be no bad blood between them? Why was she like a chewing gum stuck on him? After a pause, Frederick went out to chase after Alicia., Alicia had walked angrily around the yard twice. She even brought the dog out. When Frederick caught up with her, he saw her standing under a tree, pointing and scolding the dog in front of her.,

"Where did your brain go? I've told you once, and I've told you one hundred times, but you still can't remember! No food for you tonight!

",

"So disobedient! Don't move! Kneel properly!

",

"Stupid! If you make me angry again, I'll cut you into pieces!

",

"What are you looking at? It's not for you. Don't move!

",

"You made a mistake and still want to eat? I want you to reflect on your actions! Reflect!

", As soon as Frederick approached them, he saw her shouting in anger. She was holding the dog's leash in one hand as she shouted while stuffing the melon seeds into her mouth with the other. Was she treating the dog as him?, Speechless, Frederick shook his head. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this., Suddenly, he thought of his so-called stepmother... That vicious woman! She was going through the same emotions, but she held the dog in her arms and vented all her anger on him, beating and scolding him. At the moment, Alicia was using the same way to vent her anger. She avoided arguing with him and hurting him, and did not hurt the dog either!, They were both women, but were so different from one another!, In the past, he hated women very much. He held that stubborn prejudice he had against women decades. Yet at that moment, Frederick suddenly realized that he had stopped thinking that way of them. , Under the sun, she looked very beautiful!, vel, Even though she was angry, she was still breathtakingly beautiful!, When Alicia finished up the half box of melon seeds, Frederick went up to her and stretched his hand out.

"Let me!

", He took over the small box from her hand. Seeing that she was struggling to keep the dog steady, he also took the dog leash from her and gave her a smile.,

"Now that you're done scolding me and I've done some self-reflection, let's go in! It's cold outside.

", Frederick took her hand., After trying to free herself for a moment, Alicia rolled her eyes at him and pouted.

"I want more melon seeds tomorrow; I want a full box of it, and, I don't want the store-bought ones-

", In an instant, Frederick smiled so big his eyes squinted.

"Sure!

", At least he could get everyone in the office to help him with this! He was willing to do anything as long as she wasn't mad at him anymore!, With her mood better, Alicia didn't say anything more. She rubbed her eyes and yawned,

"I'm tired. Let's go back inside! It turns out that talking is very tiring.

", All she did was talk on the phone and scolded the dog, but she felt like all her energy had been used up!, As they walked towards the house, Alicia felt like she was dragging her feet underneath her. After a short while, she suddenly stopped and said angrily,

"I can't walk anymore. I'm done walking!

" Frederick stopped at the same time. Seeing that she was fussy, he instantly rubbed the top of her head lovingly.,

"I'll carry you!

" He suggested., They were used to being casual at home while Frederick was also used to tolerating her whims. If she asked for something, and if he was free, he would never refuse her., In the past, he had thought that, couples who were all lovey-dovey, with each other were pointless and a waste of time. However, at the moment, even if it was just walking around the courtyard with her, even if it was just a small action tomake her smile, he still felt that it was the greatest thing in the world - an incomparable happiness and achievement. , He handed the dog and the plastic box to the maid before crouching down in front of Alicia., They were used to being this candid with one another. When Alicia thought of teasing him, she would do so. It was the same for Frederick. Often, he would just make fun of her out of nowhere. Such intimacy seemed to have become the most normal lifestyle between the two of them - even if the behavior of the, two seemed a little peculiar to the eyes of outsiders, and even the help. , When she got on his back, she wrapped her arms around his neck, feeling delighted.

"As expected, it's so comfortable to be carried!

", As he wanted to stay a little longer with her, Frederick walked slowly, stumbling a little. Alicia was so sleepy that she yawned a few times in a row., Frederick felt that the weight on his back was like a sweet burden. Joyfully, he thought about the past.,

"What if you get heavier and I can no longer carry you on my back?

", Feeling the warmth all over his body, and seeing that they're almost at the door, Frederick started panting a little. He wasn't sure how or why, but he felt that she got heavier. Alicia's eyelids were getting heavier by the second as her breathing steadied, an indication that she was at complete ease., She repositioned her head and muttered,

"Then, you'd need to eat more, go for runs, lift weights everyday... Do more workouts until you can carry me!

", Frederick walked with a smile tugged at his lips. He could not help but let out a muffled laugh and said,

"I thought you were going to say that you'll lose weight!
