Chapter 58
After this incident, Alicia noticed that there were a lot of new daily necessities in the house. There were new clothing and shoes. The initially empty cloakroom was almost filled at once.
She was not as nonchalant as she thought, instead, she was still a little excited about it. Most of the clothes were casual outfits, including dresses and skirts.
Alicia could save a lot of expenses as she didn't need to buy new clothes anymore. Seeing that it was her size, she picked up a formal outfit and changed into it. The quality of the clothes was undeniably good as it was Frederick who bought it.
The style of the clothes was simple, but the materials were good. It was also aesthetically pleasing when put on. In terms of texture, it was obviously different from the brands she owned. It was more comfortable. The clothes were worth every penny.
She hadn't really taken good care of herself for a long time. When she changed into her new clothes, she was in a good mood. Because of this matter, she unnoticeably liked Frederick a little more. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
He was a contradicting person. Sometimes, he was very thoughtful, such as at this moment; sometimes, he also made people angry, like the ravioli incident.
Thinking of this, Alicia couldn't help but feel distressed again. She touched her clothes and felt more at ease when she wore them.
For the next few days, she was full of energy while working.
One day, the hospital called. She went there to discuss with the doctor and paid some medical expenses after work. Then, she went to the ward to see her father. Looking at the reduced amount of money in her bank account, she felt stressed again.
When she got home, she didn't cook and just ate a piece of bread. Then, she turned on the computer and began to work on translating a piece of text. This was her private work on the Internet. This way, she could earn more money during her free time.
After being busy for some time, she heard some noise and came back to her senses. It was already past eleven o'clock at night. She then put away her computer. She stood up to see Frederick appearing at the door.
"Hubby, are you back?
Frederick nodded.
As soon as he raised his head, Frederick's eyes fell on the computer desk where she was working. There were still pieces of paper and empty snack bags. Seeing that his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, Alicia followed his eyes and saw her masterpiece on the desk.
As she was afraid that it would trigger the clean freak in him and that she would be criticized by him, Alicia moved her body to cover the view. She laughed dryly to ease the tension in the room.
"I was hungry... It's odorless! I'll clean it up right away! Hubby, take a shower first! Don't be angry. Once you come out, it'll be clean!" Alicia immediately said.
She was too busy and had no time to clean it up. She was not a messy person. Moreover, in her eyes, these things were absolutely not garbage. However, she did not dare to tell him.
Could she say that in her eyes, he was a freak?
There were all kinds of unspoken criticism in her heart, but Alicia showed him a smile.
Without saying anything, Frederick turned around and went to the bathroom after taking his clothes. In fact, he couldn't tolerate the mess in the room, but he was even more surprised at the fact that
she was working at such a late hour.
In his memory, he had only seen women being coquettish, but he had never seen a woman so hardworking. He always felt that there seemed to be something different in her.
When Frederick came out of the shower, Alicia had already returned everything to their original position, even the garbage bag had been replaced.
Because of work, she was still wearing casual clothes. She was afraid that he would criticize her. Hence, she instantly said, "I'm going to wash up right away!"
As she said this, she took out her pajamas that she often wore and dashed into the bathroom. Then, she took another shower.
After changing into pajamas, Alicia was puzzled. "Why is it so tight?".
Seeing that her pajamas which she often put on were fitted tightly on her body, Alicia was shocked. Looking up, she was surprised to see that she seemed to have plumped up in the mirror.
What happened? She had only been busy for a few days. How did she put on so much weight?
Walking out of the bathroom, she hurried to the cloakroom and took out the electronic scale. When she stood there, her eyes almost fell out.
53 kilograms?
Was there a mistake? She had never weighed more than 50 kilograms. She had always weighed about 45 kilograms. Besides, in the past three years, she was so busy that she couldn’t gain any weight.
How did she gain more than 5 kilograms in just a few days?
Was the weighing scale spoilt or did she eat a little more than usual?
She had even shifted her position thrice while standing on the scale but she ended up weighing even more! Alicia was at a loss for words!
Did she eat too much recently? In her memory, she didn't eat much even when she returned to the Clements family home. She only ate some cakes. Besides, she danced at least twice a week. By right, it shouldn't be like this!
Alicia was so shocked that she looked down at her clothes and pinched her slightly protruding abdomen.
"D*mn! Why am I so fat?"
She can be thinner, but she couldn't accept herself to increase in size. If she gained weight, she had to buy new clothes and her work at the nightclub would be affected!
At the thought of money, she despised the fats on her body!
Putting the electronic scale back to its original place, Alicia took a deep breath and thought, "I'm going to lose weight!"
Frederick followed her when he saw her running around. As soon as he arrived at the door, a dejected figure rushed into his arms.
"What's wrong?" Frederick asked.
Why did she look like a sad puppy after taking a bath?
Shaking her head, Alicia, who was very unaccustomed to the change in her body, subconsciously pulled her clothes. However, she did not know that her casual little action seemed to have some
effect on Frederick. It made her chest appear more obvious and it became the focus of Frederick's sight.
Frederick's eyes darkened. He held her slender waist and asked, "Baby, are you trying to seduce me?"
She was conscious and extremely worried about her body's changes. Frederick's words made Alicia wrap her arms around herself. "No. I'm so tired, just let me have a day off!"
Secretly, she actually didn’t want him to see her become ugly. However, she didn't know that in a man's eyes, she was more like a luxurious feast at this moment, full of temptation!
"Then... let's do it just once? I'll let you rest early!" Frederick said.
Before Alicia responded, Frederick had already picked her up. The so- called "once", made Alicia very exhausted.
There was only one thought that came to her mind. As expected, men were all lying b*stards.
The next day, when Frederick opened his eyes, there was no one beside him!
He got up and touched the cold sheets beside him. He was stunned for two seconds as he was not used to it. He looked around and saw her bag on the table. He secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
What was he afraid of? Was he afraid that she would leave?
After getting up and washing up Frederick headed downstairs. He heard some noise coming from the kitchen. With a light smile, he walked over.
"Oh, my, don't make trouble. I'm busy!"
