Chapter 571
Walking out of the Eight Casino, Alicia checked the time and found that it was not even ten yet. After making a phone call to Nicholas, she drove directly back to Robson Garden.
As soon as she entered the house, she saw the lights were on. Alicia trotted all the way and rushed back to her room. Meanwhile, Frederick came out from the study when he heard noises.
"Hubby..."
Alicia pounced on him and hooked her arms around his neck, her eyes were full of joy and excitement. She did not think he would come over!
He kissed her lightly on the corner of her lips and carried her back to her room. "You back so early. Are you done with your bet?"
He knew that she was with Sebastian, so he did not dare to call her at all! For Frederick, this was a bigger surprise. He held her in his arms and got intimate with her for a while.
Alicia played with a corner of his shirt and rubbed against him, "Who cares to comfort that s*um? He may be upset, but I'm more annoyed. It's better for me to come back and look at my handsome husband!" She said.
Alicia cupped his face and touched his stubbly chin. He had obviously lost a lot of weight before their reunion. She also vaguely felt that their separation was equally hellish for the two of them. His pain and torment were even more profound than her despair.
Alicia's heart ached for him! She felt even more inexplicably bitter especially when she saw his change, it was as if he had become a different person! Looking at the strange expression on her face, the smile in Frederick's eyes deepened.
"What happened to your voice? Is your throat choked by smoke? Do you want me to ask Carson to arrange a doctor for you?" He did not want to take any risks!
Although this voice was equally seductive, this change made Frederick feel guilty and uncomfortable. His negligence had transformed her completely. Such a change seemed to recount her past miserable life.
She shook her head and tried to adjust it. "Hubby, it is back to normal now, right?"
Alicia's voice returned to normal in the next second. The sudden change made Frederick stunned for two seconds.
"I trained on purpose. 1 wasn't used to it in the beginning, I even had to stuff cotton up my nose! I gradually got used to this kind of tone. When I lower and slow down my tone a little as well as using my nasal voice, then my voice will change somewhat!"
In the beginning, she did it for the sake of completely leaving her past and him behind as well as for the convenience of revenge. However, she had now become accustomed to using it.
"worried that Sebastian might suspect me if I run into an acquaintance. Then all my efforts will be in vain! Hehe, I'm smart, aren't I?"
Frederick gently pinched her nose and said with relief, "Yes! You are so smart that it disturbs me!"
Wasn't she still avoiding him then?
If he had known earlier that she was still alive, he would not be so devastated to the point of searching for solace. His actions had almost caused the two of them to become further apart!
Thinking of something, Frederick's arm tightened a little bit, and he wished he could rub her into his heart.
"I've learned my lesson! Even if I die of pain, I will never look for you in other women again! It is better for a person to have a lasting and devoted heart!" "Me too! No matter what, we will stay together
forever."
They interlocked their hands as they looked at each other. Their short-lived separation had made them realize even more truth in life, and a simple snuggle every night from that day onward had become their happiest moment.
In the middle of the night, Alicia dazedly saw flashes of green light, so she groped for her phone and slowly moved her body sideways. She saw a pile of missed calls when she unlocked her phone. When she unlocked it, she saw a ton of missed calls.
They were all from Sebastian!
With a glance, she could guess what had happened!
When she was about to return to bed, she saw a few unread messages, so she opened them. As expected, they were all from Sebastian.
"Can you come over? Why are you not answering the phone?"
"Are you already resting?"NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
"I lost ten million dollars and owe millions of dollars! What should I do now?"
"I'm so annoyed..."
"I planned to leave too after you've left... I did not expect to lose everything. I don't even know how
much I have lost!"
"What should I do?"
She could feel his confusion and helplessness from his words. Suddenly, Alicia vigilantly came to her senses. The casino is indeed full of conspiracies!
Come to think of it, he was rather
lucky a few days ago! Who knew that Frederick's words were so powerful! He had only brought her to see a person who looked to be the leader and gave her a special "8" brooch. It was said that it could be applied to any of the tables! Of course, the number eight table was given special orders!
Who knew, just this once, and he had already lost his footing!
It was indeed good to have an influential backer!
Alicia was over the moon when she saw such news, despite being woken up in the middle of the night. She locked the screen of her phone, put it aside, and slowly moved the arm on her body. As soon as she got up, a force pulled her back. The next second, a pair of big palms circled her waist.
"Where are you going?" Frederick said sleepily.
"Huh? Did I wake you up? I'm a little thirsty..."
She never had the habit of getting up in the middle of the night. But because she was excited after seeing Sebastian's misfortune, she did not feel sleepy at that moment, so her senses naturally became sensitive.
"Let me get you some water!"

Before Alicia came to her senses, a glass of hot water had been handed to her. Holding the cup, Alicia took a few sips of the hot water while warming her hands. Frederick reached out to prop up the pillow, letting her lean comfortably on the pillow and his chest while his hands tightly wrapped around her waist.
From the corner of her eyes, she could see that his eyes were half- closed. He was obviously sleepy, but he kept forcing himself to keep his eyes open as if he was afraid that she would disappear. The warm water warmed her heart, but Alicia felt as if her heart was twisted into a rope, it was excruciating.
He definitely hadn't slept well during the time she was gone!
Only then did she recall, since her return, he had to hold her in his arms like so every night. Unlike their past embrace, he wrapped her entire body in his arms like a mother wolf protecting its pup.
She vaguely felt something. After taking a few more sips, she put down the cup, turned over, and laid in his arms. She raised her hand and touched his chin with a heavy heart.
"Hubby, are you afraid that I will be gone? I will never... leave you again!"
When he heard her voice, Fredrick instinctively tightened his arms and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead. "Mm, I'm afraid, very scared... I cannot live without you... I will never let you leave me again! Ally, my Ally..."
Frederick mumbled as if he was sleep talking.
However, Alicia's heart was deeply moved. She found a comfortable position in his arms and listened to his steady breathing. Then she slowly closed her eyes and had a good night's sleep...
The next day, the morning sun shone in like scattered golden shards. When Alicia opened her eyes, she was as obedient as a kitten and did not move for a long time. It wasn't until she heard him move that she wriggled and stretched her body.
"Good morning, Hubby!"
Alicia wrapped her arms around his neck and took the initiative to kiss him.
