Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Seeing that Frederick was walking towards a middle-aged man and that they were discussing something, Alicia smiled slightly.

In the end, she had to follow him!

Strangely, the anger in her heart seemed to have suddenly gone into thin air. If she went back again, it would be melodramatic! Since that was the case, Alicia did not want to force herself. She just wanted to find a suitable place to wait.

At this time, the lights on the temporarily built stage lit, and the music had also changed. She turned sideways subconsciously, and her attention was focused on the stage. Penny and her father-in-law Mr. Clements were walking up to the stage.

Mr. Clements held the microphone and said, "Thank you for coming here today. I have prepared some activities for the young. It's purely for entertainment purposes. I hope everyone can take part in it and have a good time. Before the ceremony begins, please allow my son and his companion to lead the opening dance!"

With a burst of warm applause, Mr. Clements returned the microphone to the host and appeared to be giving him instructions. On the other side, the butler had also come out and asked the waiters to issue cards with specific numbers to the young and unmarried in an orderly manner. Obviously, these were prepared in advance.

The lights on the dance floor lit up. At this instant, Frederick came over and extended his hand to her. "Let's go!"

"Me?" Alicia was shocked.

With his eyes glancing at her, Alicia was dazed. Just a moment ago, she was still wondering who would be the one dancing. After all, she remembered that Mason had no girlfriend, and she did not dare to think about Frederick because of their relationship.

As soon as he presented his hand, Alicia was dumbfounded!

"Were they talking about the two of us?" she wondered.

This was different from dancing in front of strangers in the nightclub. Even if they ruined the show and lost their own reputation, they still had heavy makeup to cover their identity. Facing such influential relatives and friends, Alicia became nervous.

"It doesn't matter. It's just for fun!" Frederick said.

A gentle force held her hand, like a warm current pulsing into her heart. Alicia also smiled brightly. As soon as she lifted her foot, she was suddenly pushed by someone. She staggered and did not know what she was stepping on. She suddenly slipped and felt a pain in her feet. Her forehead instantly broke out in cold sweat.

"Ouch..." she mumbled in pain.

"Be careful!" Frederick was startled. Although Frederick was quick to catch her, she still heard a "crack" sound. It was as if her heels were broken.

Holding onto his arm, Alicia smiled faintly and tried to put some weight on her feet. "Oh no, it's broken," Alicia thought.

At this time, the dance floor in the middle has been completely cleared. The path between them and the dance floor was also clear. Alicia was worried and got sweaty. With a flash of inspiration, she pulled Frederick's hand.

"Do you know how to Tango?"

As she said this, she glanced at her feet anxiously. In an instant, Frederick understood and then nodded his head.

"Then, let's start! It's okay. Trust me!" Frederick said.

Frederick raised his hand to make a gesture, and the dance music changed.

Their eyes met, and Alicia lifted her foot. One of her shoes had been kicked off, and then she placed her hand around him. After that, she took off the other shoe naturally and she made some dance moves.

Fortunately, her dress was not extremely long, and her legs were not restricted. After a spin, they entered the dance floor in Tango's footsteps. After all, they had been professionally trained. Frederick's movements were not fast, thus, it was easy for Alicia to keep up with him. They danced with great teamwork. The elegant dance was beautiful. Warm applause was heard around them, setting off waves of climax.

In their eyes, they only had each other. The more they danced, the more relaxed they felt. When the last note fell, Alicia placed her hand around Frederick's neck, displaying a very smashing and meaningful pose. With this, they drew a perfect end.

Everyone was applauding enthusiastically. Even Brian kept his eyes fixed on them and occasionally praised their dance moves. Hallie was standing in the corner, her nails almost broken from her tight fist when she saw them dancing.

At this time, the host said, "Thank you for your wonderful performances. Now, let's start our games for tonight. The first one..."

After the crowd's attention was diverted, Frederick said, "I'll carry you back!"

"Please don't. There are so many people here!"

While they were talking, the butler came over with a pair of slippers. "Young Master Frederick!"

Soon, the two of them quickly retreated to the side. When they were walking back to their original spot, Frederick also paid special attention to the floor and took a quick glance. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

As if he had noticed his actions, the butler quickly explained, "Someone spilled some wine. I've already had someone clean it up!"

"Alright!" Frederick nodded.

He didn't say anything else! In fact, he had guessed it. When he thought about it, he remembered seeing Hallie walking towards him from a distance earlier on. Thus, he had quickened his steps. Unexpectedly, Hallie didn't approach him anymore, hence, he didn't pay attention to her. However, he didn't expect that she had already done her little tricks.

He was sure that she did it on purpose!

He knew the arrangement of the dance, thus, he wanted to dance with Alicia because he wanted to get closer to her. Unexpectedly, there was always something happening that interrupted them from time to time. Alicia didn't know the family's arrangement, thus, she wasn't prepared for it. However, what about Hallie? Did she plan it or was that just a spur of a moment?

How about the butler? He was the man who Mr. Clements trusted the most!

Was his tidy-up and explanation just a cover-up or was he innocent?

At this moment, Frederick was not only unhappy about his family but felt much displeasure towards them.

Alicia was not sure if someone had deliberately hit her, pushed her, or accidentally knocked her. She didn't think too much about it. She forced herself to dance, and her ankle was burning with pain at present.

"Let's go. I'll help you back to the room to change your shoes!" Frederick said.

They were about to head upstairs when a servant ran over with a shoebox in her hands. "Master Frederick, Mrs. Clements asked someone to find a pair of shoes for Miss Blanchard and got me to bring them over!"

When he opened the shoebox, he saw a pair of silver high heels, which was a fit for Alicia's feet. Seeing that it was a brand new shoe, Frederick took it out and instinctively checked it before putting it

on the ground.

"Let's put this on for now!" Frederick told Alicia.

He thought that if it was Grandma who asked for these shoes, the others would not dare to do anything so openly.

Frederick appeared nonchalant as he examined both of the heels. After all, they were not familiar with this place. Alicia was unsure if there were shoes that fitted her in the room. Hence, she wore it without any complaint.

She nodded and put on the heels.

Thinking that it would still be a while before the party was over, they returned to the banquet hall again. Alicia waited for Frederick to be alone and took two glasses of wine. When she was about to go talk to him, she was pushed forcefully before she could hand him the wine glass. When she looked up, her expression changed...
