Chapter 577
In other words, he did not want her to set up any more blind dates!
Frederick said this to reassure his grandmother. However, he did not expect Mrs. Clements to be so angry that she smashed her cup on the floor as soon as he finished speaking.
"I already told you, I will not agree! Are you trying to anger me to death? You won't even listen to your grandmother anymore, will you?"
"Grandma, the person I'm in love with is-"
Just as Frederick was about to explain to her, Mrs. Clements suddenly had a hard time breathing and her vision became blurry. "Cough, cough..."
Frederick quickly supported her and said in horror, "Grandma, are you all right? Paula, Paula..."
"Mrs. Clements..."
As soon as Paula rushed in, she immediately gave Mrs. Clements two tablets of high blood pressure medicine. Paula then assisted her to the sofa for her to catch her breath. It wasn't long before Mrs. Clements's usual complexion returned.
Paula pulled Frederick aside and said in a low voice, "Mrs. Clements is worried that you would collapse, seeing that you have been in a horrible state lately! In addition to Master Christian's illness, she's even more worried that you would harm yourself. Her blood pressure has been unstable lately, so she would get dizzy easily if she gets irritated. You should try to avoid arguing with her. Her doctor doesn't want her to get too worked up. Sigh..."
"I understand Paula, I really appreciate it!"
Once Paula left the room, Frederick immediately went to hold his grandmother's hands. "Grandma, are you alright? Don't be angry anymore, I'll listen to whatever you say!"
"Frederick, I know that you're an affectionate and filial person! However, you must learn to accept reality! I'm not forcing you to do anything, but you shouldn't give up on yourself and abandon yourself to despair!"
Mrs. Clements caressed his cheek and sighed, "Marriage isn't a trivial matter! Once you meddle with love, it will do the same to you eventually!" Danica had returned, and he was fooling around. Mrs. Clements felt terribly sorry for him! She worried that her beloved grandson would collapse after receiving continuous defeat and setbacks!
There was no way she could accept seeing him abandon himself and do as he pleased or mix with Danica because of their old relationship!
She knew him well after all. No good would come to a future without love or sincerity! He had a prejudice against women; there was no way they could easily win his heart. So Alicia's death and Danica's return were like a thorn stabbing into Mrs. Clement's heart. She did not want him to repeat the same mistake; she wanted him to start anew as soon as possible.
"Grandma, I won't deprave, nor will I even crumble down! I will get better for your sake! I haven't given you a great-grandchild yet! So, Grandma, you have to take care of yourself!"
"Good! That should be the way! Then, you have to live your life to the fullest and take your blind dates seriously!"
Frederick gladly nodded his head. However, he felt helpless when he heard his grandmother wanted him to go on blind dates again. He wanted to refute, but he suddenly thought of something and merely nodded.
"All right, HI heed your advice! It's getting late, Grandma. You shouldn't stay up so late, you need to rest earlier! Just tell me if you want me to do anything next time, I'll cooperate, don't get so busy anymore..."
At the thought of Alicia returning in a few days, he wouldn't need to explain anything any further, so Frederick did not refute. He left after appeasing her to get some rest.
Little had he expected his grandmother to arrange a blind date for him. He tapped his forehead as he left. A sense of relief washed over him as he felt that he had taken a trip to hell and back.
As he drove, he remembered Alicia was dancing in Heaven Star Clubhouse that night. After looking at the time, he immediately steered and rushed towards the clubhouse.
Heaven Star Clubhouse was in its
peak hours. Right as Frederick walked in, he saw the beauty dancing on the stage. Alicia was dressed a red exotic veiled dress; her midriff was showing and a veil covered her face partially; she had a soulstirring aura. Frederick could smell a faintly discernible scent every step he took. Unknowingly, he stopped in his tracks and rubbed his nose.
"Sir, what's the matter? Are you not feeling well?"
"What an extraordinary scent!"
He raised his hand and took a sniff, but the scent seemingly disappeared. The server could not help but giggle.
"Sir, this is Miss Swift's original
fragrant dance Different scents will
drift across the room according to the rhythm of the dance, just like this one. Not only is it only pleasing. the eyes, but it's also worth savoring. Accompanied by our fine wine, it'll definitely be the icing on the cake! Allow me to recommend the 'Pleasing Kiss' to you, would you like to give it a try?"
So the smell came from her!
No wonder the business was suddenly booming. She must have used her perfuming techniques! The speed at which she was innovating was outstanding. Not only was his Ally beautiful, but she was also smart too!
Judging from the server's enthusiastic sales, Frederick could tell that he was smart too. He simply nodded and said, "Sure!"
Right away, Frederick turned towards the VIP seats on the other side.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Alicia turned around and took a quick look at the surroundings. She immediately narrowed her eyes when they fell upon a familiar figure. As the veil fell, she blew a kiss in Frederick's direction and instantly pushed the atmosphere to another climax.
"Wow... Miss Swift, Miss Swift!"
"Whoosh..."
Frederick sat down and raised his glass to give her a toast in response. They smiled as their eyes met.
Alicia's movements were light and agile, her dance was indeed a pleasure to Frederick's eyes. Alicia had piqued his entire attention, and the rigid lines of his face softened a little at that moment.
Once the last note was played, Alicia slowly withdrew her hand, bowed to the crowd, and took the opportunity
to look around. When she turned around to go backstage, she looked back in Fredrick's direction subconsciously. He put his

down and promptly stood up almost at the same time.
Shortly, Frederick made his way toward the backstage corridor.
He stopped at the entrance of the corridor and took out a cigarette. But a sudden thought made him put his cigarette back. Shortly, he could hear a familiar click- clack of heels, and he instantly straightened his body. A beautiful figure was in front of him in the blink of an eye.
"Hub- Mr. Clements! Why are you here tonight? Weren't you supposed to visit Grandma?" Alicia thought he was planning to stay there overnight. Frederick tucked her hair behind her ear as he hugged her. She was dressed in thin clothing, and she had thick makeup on her face.
"I was passing by, so I thought I would come and pick you up! You might attract unwanted attention if you keep dancing like that! I think I'll have to talk to your brother about this!"
The way she looked was alluring! Especially when she danced. His lips were parched, and his blood boiled just looking at her. Any man would understand what this excitement meant.
