Chapter 1038
Right then, Alicia and Victoria were both sitting in chairs on one side of the table. One of them was holding
Clinton, and the other was holding Cotter. The baby stroller was parked to the side. It wasn't clear what they
were talking about, but their smiles were bright. Clinton was sitting obediently in front of Alicia, and occasionally
moved his little hands around. The puppy was in Victoria's arms, the sway as Clinton was in Alicia's.
Together with the two beautiful women, it was the perfect picture of peace!
That was probably the most beautiful scenery that existed in the world!
In an instant, both of them were feeling deeply sentimental and stopped walking. They could not bear to destroy
such beautiful silence. "Woof woof!" "Haha..."
When they heard the dog barking, they suddenly cback to their senses. They looked at each other at the
stand laughed.
That image that day was the dream that they had once envisioned countless times. They had dreamt of getting
married, forming a family and living in harmony with each other in the scity. They would have a big family
filled with warmth and peace. As brothers, they would be close and loving to each other.
That was the luxury wish they desired most in their minds. They were two relatively independent families, which
were also inseparable.
The higher they climbed, the greater the risk they bore. The price to pay and the rewards they reaped, what they
gained and what peril that could cwith it were always proportional to each other. In the beginning, they had
divided the company as they had taken many things into consideration. On one hand, they weren't going to put
all their eggs in one basket, and on the other hand, it was so that their close relationship wouldn't be at stake. In
case something happened, they could take care of each other and have a way out. After all, they were family,
and were related by blood. That was an important factor when being in a crisis! Therefore, they always hoped
that their relationship would not change because of any decision made or any event that happened, including
marriage! Such a harmonious scene was undoubtedly what they were happiest to see.
That was why when they looked into each other's eyes, they could understood what each other felt, and grins
appeared on their faces. Subconsciously, the coldness and seriousness on their faces were melted away by
warmth and love.

Seeing the two of them appearing together, Alicia and Victoria were both thinking of the sthing as well. It
was better to becsisters-in-law with people that you were close with, rather than strangers!
Raising her gaze, Alicia greeted them first. "Why are you both here? Are you guys done so early?"
Looking back, Victoria beamed as well. "Are we going to leave already?"
Frederick cforward, bent down, and picked Clinton up skilfully. Alicia stretched her muscles and said with a
smile, "What's the hurry? It's still early and you should stay for dinner! What's the need to be so formal among
family?"
Trevor ruffled Victoria's hair dotingly. Her blinding smile showed that she seemed to be having a good time. Her
cheeks were flushed, which was completely different from the state she was in when she arrived. Trevor's voice
grew much softer when he spoke. "Are you guys not done having fun yet? The baby has to rest!"
He was implying that they shouldn't disturb them too much!
Getting up, Victoria returned the puppy to the servant, but reluctantly petted it again. "That's true! We still have
time! I'll cagain when | have the time. Hurry up and take the child back to rest..."
No matter how close they were, they were somehow still their guests. It was really inappropriate to bother Alicia
too much when she already had a child. The main point was that no one was watching her there, so she had a
good time! After chatting a bit more, they said goodbye. Then, Trevor got into the car with Victoria in his arms.
Back in the room, Alicia coaxed Clinton and fed him again, but before she could finish, he had already closed his
eyes. Seeing him sleeping soundly, she covered him with a small blanket.
"Is Clinton asleep?"
"Yeah..."
She made a shushing gesture, pointed in the direction of the door, and then pulled Frederick out.
"He was a little excited today and haven't slept much. He may be tired now. Anyway, this could be a good
timing. We might suffer for the second half of the night..."
When he woke up, there would most likely be a headache waiting forthem!
"After you finish your dinner later, you should hurry up and get srest, and we'll take shifts at night! You have
to remember to wake me..." He was more skilled then. At least, he could hold the child without being stiff and
unable to move. It was just that sometimes when he was in deep sleep, she would often quietly do everything
herself, and he would only realize when she was
done.
He knew that she loved him dearly, and was worried that he would have it too hard if he didn't rest properly!
Therefore, from the bottom of his heart, he was very touched.
In fact, there was a servant to take
care of Clinton, and she did not actually have to get up at night at all. However, she preferred to take care of
Clinton herself. Frederick personally shared the sfeelings. job,
Even if the servant did a g
she could only be at ease doing it
herself. She would be happy to do so
even if it was a little tiring.
"Okay..."
Squinting her eyes and holding his hand, Alicia smiled and said, "It's not dinner tyet. We have srare free
time. Let's go for a walk, and see Cotter!" "Sure!"
After putting on a light and thin coat for her, the two of them held hands and went to the greenhouse. At the
stime, the servants brought Dotter over for them.
On the cushion, Alicia took some
food and fed the puppy. Rarely getting the opportunity to, they snuggled up for a while. She leaned against

at him
"You've turned this beautiful puppy into a pig. | can't even pick it up anymore, and its physical appearance is
really getting worse..."
"Haha, it's nicer to hug when it's fat. How cute!"
He circled around her and petted the dog. Frederick grinned, his eyes full of gratitude. He had thought that he
had lost her forever, and would have to spend his lifetwith the puppy! Thinking about it right then, he was
fortunate to have the puppy! Otherwise, how could he have survived those days?
With his head down, he touched her ear and thought of something. Frederick sighed.
"A person's success or failure really boils down to the person themselves! When | was a child, | hated dogs the
most. Thank goodness Dotter was around when you weren't! If not for Dotter, | don't know what kind of life |
would have lived..." No one would believe it even if he said it himself that he used to fight with a dog over food
when he was little.
"So, did you raise it, treating it as me?"
When she spoke again, Alicia's voice had suddenly becgentle as if it was dripping with honey. She glanced
at his shimmering grey hair and hooked herself around his neck. Then, she kissed the patch of white hair on his
temple. Those precious and special strands of hair grew to be how they were because of her. There was probably
no color in the world that would be identical to the one that belonged to her!
Could she actually say that they had grown old together, till their hairs turned white?
All she could feel then was the heaviness of the dog, combined with happiness that was indescribable! That was
Alicia's exact emotion at that moment.
"| used to hate dogs the most, but now I like them very much! No, to be more precise, my favorite is jackals..."
Looking back, that time, Alicia rolled her eyes at him. "It's either jackals or wolves for you. Why is everything that
you like so inhumane?"
Who else would be as weird as him, to like jackals?
Suddenly, she recalled what Frederick's grandmother had once said to her.
