Chapter 208
Alicia widened her eyes in disbelief. At this time, he still had the audacity...
He was a pervert! A shameless b*stard!
She kept pushing and hitting him but could not escape from his grip. The strength in her body was being sapped away. The burning anger in her was forcibly suppressed; she could not let it out nor could she put it out. She was incredibly frustrated!
After what seemed like forever and she could catch her breath at last, her lips had already gone numb. The two of them were pressed against each other, both their hearts beating rapidly.
Frederick also took some time to calm down before speaking. He raised his hand and wiped her lips. "The first rule of the Clements family: we don't do divorces!
He was implying that they would never get a divorce!
Unable to keep up with his thoughts, Alicia grabbed at his shirt weakly, her confused eyes blinking.
"You're lying! I clearly signed it! Do you think that I'm illiterate or a clueless child? We can't get a divorce and you still gave me the papers. Just how much do you hate me?"
He dared to lie however he wanted!
At the same time, her heart hurt terribly! Since he despised her so much, she would not have a care for him either!
However, she underestimated how brazen he was. As others may say, shameless people were invincible!
The next second, she truly experienced the saying. He replied, "I was bored, hence I divorced for fun! Now that I'm in a bad mood, I don't want a divorce anymore!"
She could have passed out from the exasperation. Closing her eyes, she roared at him, 'Tm in a bad mood now too! I want a divorce! Divorce!"
Despite this scene, Frederick felt at ease while holding the beautiful woman in his arms!
He lowered his head and gave her another long, passionate kiss before talking to her in a gentle voice.
"Ally! Are these kisses enough for you?"
She was baffled as she glared at him but she found nothing she could say as a retort. He was utterly shameless! He always used this to put out her anger! He was too much!
"I never thought of hurting you..."
Caressing her hair at the corners of her forehead, Frederick could not hide the pain in his voice. "It will never happen again! I'll always love you, dote on you, and pamper you. I'll let you proudly be Mrs. Clements, okay?"
He had always been cold and aloof to anyone or anything. There was rarely a time where he showed emotions. Despite that, when he became gentle and caring, it was like sweet poison, unable to be resisted.
Alicia spoke nothing as she pursed her lips.
Right at this moment, his phone vibrated again. As he took it out, the name 'Danica' appeared, strikingly large on the screen. Almost instantly, Alicia's fury that had died down was set ablaze again.
Her brain must have been fried that she would be confused and believed in him!
Sulking, she kicked him and tried to push him away. However, Frederick rejected the call and turned off his phone.
"Ally!"
"Not okay! No! You're a complete b*stard and a liar. If I agreed, I worry that I wouldn't even know how I'd die! I'd be chomped off by your schemes with not one piece of bone left. I can't afford to die, especially not for someone like you; it's not worth it! It's so not worth it! I won't be okay with this!"
Alicia shot her words at him with no mercy. Even so, she had a subtle change of tone as she saw him hang up the call.
She was just too good at speaking! Frederick got stressed as he listened to her exaggerated ramblings. He could not win the argument, therefore he chose the simplest way, which was to seal her lips with his.
At the end of every passionate kiss, he asked her again, "Okay?"
After a few rounds, Alicia had lost all her energy. She changed from furiously shaking her head to pleading weakly.
"Okay!" she cried in surrender.
Frederick carried her to the bed and tucked her in. "Your hands are so cold and you're still making a fuss! You're such a child! Aren't you afraid your cold will come back? Do you feel unwell?"
He patted her head, not making any more big movements. He had to hold himself back, containing his desire that was sparked by their kisses a while ago.
She shrank her neck, becoming increasingly obedient. She was truly exhausted!
She was already beautiful, but now that she was wounded and ill, her face was pale, making her look pitiful. It was a heart-aching sight.
Alicia moved her lips and shook her head but stayed mute. She did not know why her anger had vanished all of a sudden.
"I was just giving you a scare when I asked you to accompany a client so that you would keep to yourself. Don't go out showing yourself just to earn more money! Ally, you're too attractive. If a woman is too beautiful, some people would have other thoughts about her! The world isn't as nice as you think! If you keep this up, what if an accident happens to you one day?"
Was he worrying about her? Alicia wondered.
At this moment, Alicia had regained her rational thinking. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
"Even if I didn't care for you, why would I make an embarrassment out of myself by doing that? Wouldn't I wait for us to be divorced if I wanted it? The truth is, I had arranged for it to happen yesterday night. I found a professional actor to pretend as the client but I never thought that the employee would make a mistake. She thought that you were an escort! You're stubborn as well. If you didn't want to do it, couldn't you just give me a call? Was it so hard to give in to me?"
He caressed her cheek in pity and continued, "Life will be hard on you if you're so stubborn! In the future, just tell me whenever you want more money, okay?"
He was unsure if she worked for the money because she really needed it or if she just enjoyed the happiness of saving up. Therefore, he dismissed the thought of giving her a bank card.
"Didn't you say you wanted to find a husband who would love you and dote on you? Why won't you learn to lean on me?" Was there anything the others could do that he couldn't?
She did not know that this turned out to be the truth. His last sentence deeply touched her heart, her fingers curling up subconsciously under the quilt.
Truth be told, he was wrong! She found it harder to open up to people close to her. Because she cared, she did not wish to lose her dignity and feel small in front of him! She minded about how he would look at her! She did not care how unimportant people to her would view her.
To put it bluntly, a majority of people nowadays looked down on the poor more than anything!
While the Blanchard family was down in the dumps, all they received were despised looks from their blood relatives. Now that things had gotten better, though not without troubles, people would not flee just at the sight of them.
It was not the vanity in her bones. She only disliked being viewed as a charity case.
She contemplated telling him about her father's situation but eventually said nothing.
Since he saw her love for money as 'earning extra money' and accepted her this way, there was nothing bad about it.
Frederick's words, regardless of whether he was coaxing her, had made her feel better. Her attitude softened up unknowingly.
"If I listen to you, would you give me the divorce agreement then?"
Alicia purposely said this to test him. She wanted to see how he truly felt about the divorce before deciding how she would go about it.
The next second, Frederick became crossed. Holding her head, he gave her another passionate kiss on the lips. This time, he was so angry that he acted roughly and somehow hurt her.
"Perish that thought! You are my woman. Even in death, you belong to me!"
The corner of Alicia's lips hurt but there was joy in her eyes. She made a mental note to not bring up the matter again.
