She wouldn't seek death for a man, and she definitely wouldn't grieve for him. She retracted her hand and fiercely pinched her lap. When she lowered her eyes, a bit of hatred couldn't help but flash through Alicia's heart.
"Now that's the princess of the Blanchard family." Nicholas was very satisfied with her behavior. He got up and said, "I'm going to get you sfood, so eat, and then head to bed. Callif you're not feeling well. I'll stay with you today." As she was about to reject the offer, he turned around and walked to the door.
Looking at the tall figure, she felt a sense of warmth in her heart. Fortunately, her brother was here for her even when their parents weren't.
In fact, God had been very kind to her. The years of being a young lady were the best tof her life. Except for the bumpy relationships, she was really grateful. Maybe this was God's will. After all, a door would open when another closed.
She comforted himself. She felt slightly better thinking this way.
After her meal, she slept in peace. Thanks to the fever and the medicine, she slept soundly. When she woke up in the afternoon, she was full of energy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNicholas measured her body temperature again. Seeing that the fever had subsided, he breathed a sigh of relief. Tve hired a maid to do the cleaning and cooking. It'll save you a lot of work. The house is huge, and there's too many things to handle. I have things to settle tonight. I want to build up our family business so I'll invest in sof them first. When Mom and Dad cback, I'll let Dad run the business behind the scenes. Firstly, he'll have something on his hands. On top of that, he has been doing business his whole life He can't disappear like this. What do you think?" "Okay, sounds good. If there's anything I can do for you, feel free to ask me." "You are now my pillar, my support system. I'd appreciate it if you took care of yourself," he said as he pinched her cheek.
"From now on, don't be playful, and don't stay out late!" He did not expect her charm to be so great. A nightclub was indeed a place where men squandered their money. At the end of the day, even a hero could not resist a woman's charm.
"Got it. Would you be a dear and bringsfruits before you head out? I'll stay htoday." She deliberately acted like a spoiled child to lighten up the mood.
"That's a good idea." Hearing the sound of the car leaving, the corner of Alicia's mouth fell slightly and she went back to sleep. She had nothing else to do other than sleep. Now that she was alone, she couldn't help overthinking. She took her phone and scrolled for a while.
Since she got Misty's ID card, she had gotten rid of her past. Nowadays, besides smen, her friends were dancers.
Although she often danced at the nightclub, she was actually very repulsed by this circle. There were many inside stories that people didn't know. There were many stories about poaching people, buying news, private competition, secret fights, and stealing guests. There were all kinds of hidden rules too.
Therefore, she had never made close friends in this circle.
After she opened her social media, she found nothing on the feed that she was looking forward to, so she posted a selfie. It was a photo of the medicine and fruit on the table captioned by a line of words. "Sob, sob... I fell sick." She flipped through the feed out of habit. Indeed, other than showing off branded products, cosmetics and lifestyle, there was nothing interesting. She was about to swipe away when snews popped up. "Fickle and Loyal: Mr. Clements madly pursues designer." After staring at it for three seconds, Alicia still did not open it. When she was about to contact him, she received a reply. It was from Sebastian. He asked her if she was okay and wanted to cover and see her.
Without any delay, she quickly stopped him. "I'm fine. I'm just having a cold. I'll be fine after srest." As soon as she replied to the message, a new message cinto view.
"Wedding Count-down: Mr. Clements Having the Tof His Life in the Hotel." Unable to hold back her curiosity, she clicked on the link and read it.
It was the news from the previous night. The two had entered the hotel. Apparently, there was a party. Frederick was seen leaving the hotel room with untidy clothes in the morning. As soon as she passed by, she scanned the relevant titles below.
"Love at First Sight: Mr. Clements's 'Rose' Bomb." "Admit to having a fiancee: Mr. Clements finally decides to settle down?" "Marriage between noble families: Love or benefit?" "The Last Indulgence: Intimacy in an apartment and hotel." Every tAlicia glanced at the titles, she narrowed her eyes, and her heart sank. In the end, she couldn't hold back her anger and she turned off her phone.
However, she never thought that half of the headlines would be about Trevor, whose nwas not usually up there.
Her heart has been turned upside down.

Over the following few days, Alicia did not click on the news again. She wanted to feel at ease. To do that, she would not put her focus on the NO wedding anymore. However, since the wedding date was approaching day by day, whether she like it or not, she had no choice but to hear the n"Mr. Clements" every now and then. She was very down.
Therefore, over the next few days, she went to the store to do business during the daytand dance atm Heaven Star Clubhouse at night.. When she chome, she went directly to bed. Slowly, her mind started to clear up. At least she could maintain a peace of mind on the surface. After enduring the most difficult period, it was October 10th in the blink of an eye. News of Mr. Clements's grand wedding spread all over the city. In a resort hotel, a low profile yet grand and special wedding was going on.
All the decorations were made up of white gauze, white lilies, white roses, patches of green, and dazzling white. The guests' banquet hall was separated from the wedding hall, and the ceremony was held inside.
Although he wanted to give Alicia a
perfect wedding, it was, after all, a ghost marriage. He could only give her such a ceremony before his relatives T family and relatives There were not many guests outside, but they were all very close to him. After all, this was completely different from the usual weddings. The guests outside were enjoying themselves. With this, he organized a banquet without a bride. Inside, Frederick, dressed in a white suit, held her portrait carefully. He completed a very solemn wedding ceremony by himself.
Among the people present, there were Grandma, the Clements family, and his closest friends who knew the truth. For him, they had witnessed it and this was a perfect wedding. He had no regrets. The people closest to him were there.
The only regret was not having his bride beside him.
That day, Alicia stayed at home. She was afraid of listening or seeing something that would upset her. She sat on the balcony all day, either looking blankly at the flowers and plants in front of her or looking at the blue sky out of the window.
