Chapter 90
She pushed him into the dining hall and to his seat. After that, Alicia filled the bowls and plates with pasta and soup. She did things swiftly. She was afraid that if he got up, he would notice the trash can that was not properly covered.
There were all kinds of food on the table, including chicken wings, salad, mashed potatoes, pasta, and mushroom soup. These home-cooked dishes had a good combination of color, aroma, and taste. They were very appetizing.
Seeing that she was smiling all the way, Frederick was also very happy. He said, "Let's eat!"
Frederick picked up a chicken wing and placed it on her plate. "You should eat more. You've lost weight."
"Hubby, you should eat more too. Have a taste of my cooking!"
Alicia also picked one up for him, saying, "You are not allowed to say that it tastes bad!"
The chicken wings were a little expensive. Moreover, she was not used to eating a lot of meat at night. Therefore, she only bought six, which were all on the plate. If he did not give it to her, she would not even eat it.
Frederick chuckled. Obviously, he was delighted by her words.
As soon as she touched her fork, she thought of something. Alicia went to take a box of tissue and a wet towel. Then, she ate the chicken wing very carefully.
At this time, Frederick said, "It's good. It's delicious. I like it!"
Alicia chuckled.
Finally, Alicia also smiled and squinted her eyes. After eating the chicken wing, she was afraid that Frederick would nag her. Hence, she ate a little pasta which was hidden under her pile of salad. Then only did she begin to drink the soup and ate some potatoes too. She also picked up most of the bacon inside and gave it to Frederick. He seemed to be used to it. Hence, he picked it up and immediately ate it.
Although they didn't talk much, they were very satisfied with their food.
When they were almost finished, Frederick noticed that she did not touch her chicken wing at all. He pushed the plate towards her and asked, "Why are you eating so little?"
In a hurry, Alicia pushed it back.
She hurriedly explained, "Hubby, I've made this for you! You must eat more and gain more muscles! What if people stop thinking highly of you? Wouldn't I suffer a great loss then? Don't waste it! It can't be kept till tomorrow! You should finish the meat and I'll deal with the salad! This is the perfect combination for men and women. We won't be tired then! Quick—"
Alicia quickly took the last two chicken wings and placed them on his plate. Then, she ate the remaining tomatoes and lettuce. According to the quantity of the food, it seemed like she had made enough.
Apart from the leftover soup and mashed potatoes, almost everything was finished.
When he remembered that she had fainted due to hunger from losing weight, he did not force her anymore. He said, "You can choose not to have too much meat, but you have to be full. You must never be hungry!"
Had this been known by others, they would think that he was abusing her!
"Sure! I'm already full. Look at my belly! It's bulging!" she said.
She straightened up and kept a little distance from him. Alicia's tiny belly was bulging through her loose clothes, and he could see her belly. Then, Frederick turned his eyes and his gaze fell on her chest.
"Sure, but you have not succeeded yet. You still have to work hard!" he told her.
Facing his smug look, Alicia blushed and loosened her clothes. She said, "Hubby, what are you looking at? You are too naughty. I can't even talk to you normally anymore!"
How dare he think she had a small chest. She was at the very least a C cup size!
When she was a child, she almost could not dance because of the rapid development of her chest. Later, whenever she danced, she had to wrap her chest with more layers of clothing than other people. She had to be thinner than others too.
It was strange. Most people who danced did not have big chests. She often wrapped herself for hours and even after so many years, it did not affect her development at all. Later, when dancing became nothing more than her hobby, she wasn't so strict on herself anymore.
In fact, among her peers, her cup size could be considered large. It was so huge that other people would be envious of it. She was used to wearing one size bigger than other people. She did not like it when other people stared at her, especially men!
However, she could not escape from this fate even when she grew up! At that time, the boys on campus had some weird list of who had the bestlooking chests. To her surprise, she was in one of the top spots!
As a result, when both men or women saw her, they would all focus on her chest. It almost frustrated her to death!
After a period of time, she wore a tight black coat whenever she was on campus. Eventually, those people had seen enough. They were not curious anymore. However, she had gained the attention of many other people.
It was not long after her 'fame' dissipated that she met Jeremy, a student who was famous in the university. However, she had never seen him before.
Alicia did not want to think about this. Hence, she stuffed a large mouthful of tomato into her mouth. Alicia chewed on it hard and looked at him. However, she was still a little embarrassed and turned her body slightly to avoid his 'evil' gaze.
After a happy meal, Alicia pushed Frederick and said, "Hubby, you must be tired after working for a whole day. Go back to your room and change your clothes to have a rest! I'll clean up the area!"
"Alright!"
She was hardworking, gentle, and considerate. This life was almost up to his expectations from the past. Hence, Frederick allowed her to push him out of the dining room.
She quickly washed the bowls, cutlery, and dishes. In truth, Alicia's eyes had never left the trash can in the corner. Her mind was full of thoughts.
How should she deal with the gift? Where should she put it? Should she return it to him the next day?
When she thought of contacting Jeremy, she had an inexplicable headache.
He was once the man she had wished to see every day, even in her dreams. Why was she so afraid of seeing him now?
Was it true that people would change that fast?
"Alas-" She was so worried!
What the hell? What was wrong with him? It was not even a special day. Why did he suddenly give her earrings?
Her heart was stirring. She sighed and let out a long breath. After washing her hands, Alicia turned to look at the trash can, and she stared at it for a long time.
Fortunately, she had cooked a lot earlier. Hence, she had to change the trash bag. Otherwise, she would feel sick at the thought of taking the earrings out from the trash can!
Because there were some tape and boxes at the bottom of the trash can, the earrings were right on top. She bent over and picked them up. After a round of inspection, she sighed heavily.
"Where should I put this?" she thought.
She could not bring it back to the room! She can't put it in the kitchen cabinets either. What if he wakes up and opens it the next day? What about the trash can? What if he suddenly decides to throw the trash the next morning? That was a possibility too! Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
While she was confused, she heard a cold and unhappy voice, "Did you throw the earrings I gave you into the trash can?"
She blurted, "Huh?"
When she turned around, Alicia saw that Frederick had changed his clothes. He stood at the door of the dining room with a gloomy expression. At this moment, he stared at the box in her hand and the trash can at her feet.
Alicia looked at him in a daze for two seconds, and then looked at the trash can. Her eyes slowly fell back on the brocade box in her hand. She was still a little confused.
What? He was the one... who gave her the earrings?
When she looked up again, she saw him turning to leave angrily.
Without thinking, she ran to catch up with him. "Hubby-"
