Chapter 175
"Huh?"
For a moment, Frederick did not get what she was saying. He thought that there was a woman walking past, thus he stopped and looked around.
"I mean... the woman who was wearing a white sweater with a black and white printed skirt. We met her in the corridor of the nightclub, didn’t we?"
Hearing that, Frederick knew that she was referring to Alicia. He couldn't express the feeling in his heart, but he didn't deny her question.
Alicia was more than beautiful. Her beauty was utterly indescribable.
In an instant, Danica's smile froze. "You like her, don't you?"
His mind was already in a mess. When Danica brought her up, he became even more agitated. "Let's stop talking about these useless things! You can get in now."
"Frederick, why don't you answer my question? I feel like you have been absent-minded since earlier on. When Carson mentioned having a barbecue at the place we used to go to celebrate my return, everyone was obviously very excited. It's your favorite place but you didn't say anything... You wouldn't do this in the past as you've always prioritized your relationship with your brothers."
With this, Danica wiped her tears with grievance.
Could it be that he had changed? In the past, no matter how beautiful a woman was, he would never spare them a glance, not to mention having any reaction!
But currently, did he really lose his mind for a pretty stranger?
In Danica's mind, this was unacceptable.
No one knew Frederick's past more than she did. His resistance to women was strong. She had done many things for him. She had even pursued him for a very long time, just to get a glance from him.
She recalled that when she approached him at the beginning of their acquaintance, he looked at her with a pair of fierce eyes, which was very horrifying.
Even after knowing each other for a long time, whenever she touched his shirt, he would push her to the ground. When she talked to him, he would not bother to reply. There were tons of gorgeous women who treated him extremely well but they eventually ran away because of his indifference. Tons of beautiful women threw themselves at him and yet were chased away by him in the end.
In the past, not a single woman could stay in Frederick's arrogant and cold heart.
She had known him for more than a decade but everything changed in just one day. She had only been away for six years. How could she have already been replaced? In his eyes, there was no other woman around him besides her!
Danica could not accept the fact that even though she had sacrificed for many years, it was still not as good as that woman's appearance.
In the past, no matter how beautiful a woman was, they would just become a stepping stone for her!
She could not believe it at all!
However, at this moment, her face was obviously no longer beautiful, which made her lose her confidence. Thinking of the six years that had drifted past, she couldn't help but feel emotional and burst into tears.
"You've changed. You are no longer the Frederick that I used to know! You said that you will treat me well for the rest of your life. No matter what I become, you won't ignore me even if you dislike me. Am I not your only woman anymore?"
He held the back of her head and pulled her into his arms, bringing her thoughts back to reality. "Don't say this! How can I ignore you? I am just a little tired because of work."
He found an excuse to force himself to get himself together in front of her.
"Frederick, don't do this to me. Don't leave me! I came back because of you. You don't know how much I care about you and how much I love you! You don't even know how much courage I had to muster to be back here..."
Looking at the crying woman in his arms, Frederick felt sorry for her but there was a voice ringing in his mind.
"Frederick, you are really cheap. Why are you absentminded when your beloved lady right in front of you?"
Frederick hugged her and raised his hand to wipe away the tears in her eyes. "Alright! Don't overthink and head back home!"
As soon as he spoke, his hand was grabbed by her the next second. "Let's head in and have a cup of tea. I am living alone now."
In order to make it convenient for herself, she didn't stay at her old house but lived alone in a small apartment when she came back.
Frederick didn't want to go in initially but when he saw the tears in the corner of her eyes, he swallowed back the refusal.
"Okay, I'll send you in!"
It was a simple two-story villa, which was not too huge. The house was slightly empty but it was clean and tidy.
After sitting down on the sofa, Danica poured a glass of water for him. "Would you like to eat or drink anything? You used to like the coffee that I made. It's a pity that it's already at night."
Drinking coffee would definitely cause insomnia!
Frederick nodded and replied, "Sure, I haven't had it for a long time!"
"Great!"
With his response, Danica was so overjoyed that she almost jumped out of the sofa. Finally, Frederick's face showed his first decent smile of the night.
Soon, a cup of fragrant coffee was served.
Frederick took a sip while stirring it but he frowned the thick brows of his unintentionally.
"What's wrong? Does it not taste good?"
"No, it's just a little bit strong." Putting down the coffee cup, Frederick added a spoonful of creamer to the coffee. Smelling the strong creamy scent in it, he took another sip with satisfaction.
"It smells good and was delicious.Just like the one you made me in the past."
How could it be the same when he had added more creamer to it?
Feeling bitter in her heart, Danica's pupils subconsciously widened a little. "Frederick, you really have changed a lot. In the past, you used to like black coffee the most!"
At most, he would only add half a spoonful of creamer and sugar. However, at present, he even added a thick creamer, which he disliked the most in the past. She clearly remembered that he really hated the taste of it.
Frederick halted, then only did he notice that the color of the coffee in the cup had turned a little pale.
Yes, in the past, he loved to drink black and bitter coffee but for the past two days...
All of a sudden, a woman who enjoyed drinking milk flashed through his mind. Every time, she would hold a packet of milk in her hand. She would always look satisfied and elated while drinking milk, which was extremely cute.
If he didn't allow her to drink milk, she would pull a long face.
Thinking of those past events, Frederick subconsciously smiled. "It's good to change once in a while. It's late, I don't need to have a coffee that is too strong."
However, after only a few seconds, his face became gloomy.
Lost in her own thoughts, Danica did not notice his strange behavior. However, she had a bad feeling in her heart.
She got up to cut some fruits for him and gathered herself simultaneously. After all, she had been away for such a long time. Therefore, it was normal for him to have changed a little. She had to keep calm and not mess things up as she didn't want him to feel annoyed.
After taking a few deep breaths, she forced a smile and brought the plate of fruits over! Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
At this time, Frederick's mood had gradually returned to normal. The two of them had fruits and chatted for a while.
Frederick noticed that he had almost finished his cup of coffee. Hence, he buttoned up his suit and said, "It's late, rest early."
When he was about to get up, Danica suddenly hooked her arms around his neck and begged, "Frederick, please stay here tonight!"
