Due to Trevor's position and status, he needed to move around to pay the New Year visits to others before the New Year. Therefore, he was also the busiest at that time.
Even if it was the first day of the New Year after New Year's Eve, the Clements family had partially shut their doors in welcoming other visitors. The party didn't stop until past midnight. Furthermore, they were married before the New Year, so most of the guests and relatives would still go to Uncle Gary's house habitually. Therefore, the house was very quiet apart from the sound of firecrackers.
Trevor was still sleeping soundly when Victoria had left the room.
She didn't have too many people that she needed to socially interact with. Therefore, she immediately went back to her parents' hto have lunch.
He hadn't slept so soundly for such a long time. That time, Trevor didn't even have a dream. He had a good night's rest. When he woke up, it was almost eleven in the morning. His head was still dizzy! He stretched, moved his hand, and his gaze then fell on the side of the pillow that was already cold. All of a sudden, he felt empty in his heart. At that moment, there seemed to be sfirecracker-like sound outside the window. Only then did he cback to his senses.
He got up, took a shower, and changed his clothes. After a rest, he was refreshed and full of energy. He opened one of the suitcases and took out an exquisite gift box. He was previously too tired and forgot to give her the New Year's gift! After putting the box on the bed and tidying up his suitcases, Trevor got up and went downstairs. "Master Trevor, should I prepare lunch?" One of the servants asked.
"Sure. Where's Miss Atlas?" Trevor asked. He was a little puzzled after looking around. Where did Victoria go again? They hadn't seen each other for so long. Didn't she know that she should keep him company? "Miss Atlas said that she would pay a visit and have fun with Miss Blancard and Miss Caroline. She won't cback for lunch!" The servant said.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHearing that she went to look for Alicia and Caroline, Trevor didn't think much and said, "Well, please prepare sfood for me! Makea cup of coffee first!" "Okay!" The servant said.
After looking through the news, eating lunch, and having his moments of pastime, he entertained a few friends who cto visit. When Trevor cback to his senses, he realized that it was already very late. Seeing that the house began to beccheerless once more, his cell phone still remained quiet. He couldn't help but thought of the person that had yet to appear. He felt a little flustered. Was this woman crazy? Was she going to stay there for dinner? He picked up his cell phone and put it down again. She was not too familiar with Caroline. For her to have so much enjoyment and to forget to go back home, he assumed that she must be with Alicia then. He thought to himself.
As he got up, he directly went upstairs and took the car key. He was going to confront her in a forthright manner to prevent her from giving any excuses to pass the buck! He went straight to the Promise Garden. Trevor also took a bottle of exquisite wine with him.
As soon as he entered the door, he noticed that Alicia and Frederick were in the courtyard. They were casually dressed as Frederick held a bag of dog food in his hand. At that moment, Alicia was running around him, followed by a chubby little white dog. The courtyard was filled with joyful laughters.
"Oh my god, don't chase after me, don't chase after me. Hubby..." Alicia said.
"Honey, please sprinkle the dog food! It's too clingy..." She begged.
"Be careful, don't fall!" Frederick said.
"Honey, ask him not to chase me. I'm exhausted!" Alicia laughed.
Frederick held Alicia's hand with one hand and squinted with a smile. "It's okay. It won't bite! It likes you. Didn't you have a dog before?" He asked.
He had an inexplicable feeling towards dogs. However, after knowing that she liked them but previously abandoned them due to her helpless circumstances, he simply tried to get one for her. He thought that it would be good as a New Year's gift.
He didn't expect her to be so excited.
"It's been a long time! I've almost forgotten this feeling!" Alicia said.
Pets were also the rights of the rich, while habits were the sfor everyone! Although she was now living a life without having to worry about her back and belly, Alicia felt that she was no longer the spoiled, wilful, and vulnerable little princess that she used to be.
She suddenly stopped. The puppy raised its head and held onto her leg. It looked cute and well-behaved. Alicia wasn't used to it for a moment and she subconsciously withdrew her leg. The puppy probably thought that she was playing with it, so it ran and excitedly jump around her.
A trace of emotions flashed through Alicia's heart upon looking down at it.
He gently held her waist and said in a doting voice, "Just keep it if you like it. If you don't, I'll get someone to send it away!" "Let's keep it!" Alicia said. Upon looking down at her feet, she found that it was indeed cute. It was fate that brought them together. Moreover, the puppy could be her companion who can relieve her boredom when he wasn't around.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen she was about to give it a name, she looked up and saw Trevor standing by the side. Alicia suddenly paused.
Frederick was also slightly startled upon following her line of sight. "Why didn't you say anything when you arrived? What's the matter? Why are you here at this time?" Frederick asked.
Alicia bent over and picked up the puppy at her feet. She stroked it and handed it to the maid. Trevor cforward and looked at both of them His heart was still filled with shock as all sorts of envy and jealousy surged like rivers in his mind. He raised his hand and handed over the wooden box in his hand. There was a bottle of top-grade red wine in it. For a brief moment, he couldn't find his voice and he didn't know where to start.
Frederick took it and looked at it. "The 36 year-old Lafite that I'm lacking? Thank you! You could've just asked the driver to send it here. Why did you trouble yourself to chere?" Trevor cback to his senses and said, "I'm free anyway. That's why I made the trip here!" As he turned to look at Alicia, he realized that both of them were so casual that they didn't seem to have gone out or received any guests. In the past, Frederick was relatively lonely whenever it was the NewYear Most of the time, he would just stay alone at hor he would visit his grandmother. It was especially when it cto festive periods like that, that his heart would feel heavier and lonelier. However, that year was obviously different! Once again, Trevor felt that he was looking up at the ideal situation that he wanted in his heart! "Frederick, did you guys... not go out?" Trevor asked.
Trevor felt that it was pathetic of him to ask others about his wife's whereabouts. As such, he inquired about it by using a different approach.
After Frederick handed the wine to Levi and instructed him to put it away, he turned around and spoke.
"It's a rare opportunity to be so carefree. I'm definitely going to keep my wife company! I don't want to entertain guests? It's not too late to deal with them after the New Year! I have gotten a dog here and I'm getting used to it!" Frederick answered. Trevor apparently noticed the change in Frederick. He smiled and said, "I'm really contended to see you guys so happy! I'll leave you guys to yourselves then!" "You can do it too! Cherish it well!" Frederick exclaimed.
Upon raising his hand, he placed it around Alicia's neck and dotingly touched her little face. He said with his tongue in the cheek, "Don't follow my path! I won't keep you on this occasion!"
Smight not know what Frederick had meant. However, both Alicia and Trevor understood that the path he mentioned was Danica. At that moment, that woman was no longer an emotional knot in Alicia's heart. She could feel his love and favor for her even from his small gestures. Alicia affectionally put her arms around his waist and said with a smile.
"Say hello to Victoria for me! Remember to bring her with you
next time. It's good to see each other too. That way, you guys can talk about your thing and I can chat with her as well Also then, we won't be bothering you both! If she's here today, she could see my 'Dotter'! Victoria loves dogs too!" Alicia said as she waved. As she spoke, she turned around and pointed at the white puppy behind her. She had already given it a name. In fact, she wanted both of them to spend more ttogether. Even if it was just a short period, whether it was a minute or a second! Trevor was completely stunned after hearing what she said. What did she mean? Didn't Vicky go there that day? X
