Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Chapter 1039

It was when they had first met. Frederick's grandmother told her that he was born aloof and proud, and could be

slightly surly, like a yawning wolf. The safest way to interact with him was to go with whatever he said and not

provoke him. At that time, she had simply taken it

at its face value. She didn't know about the deep-rooted disgust he felt for women at the time.

Thinking of the way they got along in the past, Alicia couldn't help but to break out in a cold sweat for herself.

She was like a newborn calf in the face of a tiger, completely fearless. She hadn't thought about it at all. Back

then, the only impression she had of him was his scandal.

Thinking about it, he might have actually been more tolerant and easy on her than he usually did, even though

in her memories back then, he was rotten to the core!

In fact, under his sly appearance, he had a kind and soft heart. He was not as bad as he looked. At least, if he

was not provoked, he was not the dangerous type to strike first!

At the moment, Alicia felt that she was both lucky and blessed. She leaned into his arms and muttered, "Aren't

you afraid of scaringaway?" Things like jackals and wolves were not exactly great things. Wasn't he afraid

that her impression of him would begin to sour if he told her that he liked jackals?

"Do you know why I like jackals?" Frederick murmured.

Alicia was surprised as he said that, and asked, "What even is a jackal? Does it actually exist?"

"Of course! It's right in between a wolf and a dog. It is as big as a dog, smaller than a wolf. It looks similar to wolf

and dog. Its limbs are shorter, and its tail is slightly longer than a wolf, like a fox's tail. You can imagine that it

looks like a wolf or a dog, but also a little like a fox!"

She stuck out her tongue and teased, "Isn't that a mix?" What did it actually look like?

Unexpectedly, he knew so much. Alicia listened with great interest, and there was sseriousness in her eyes.

She even straightened the dog's drooping ears.

"Does it look like this?"

Frederick hugged her tightly and chuckled.

"Pretty much like that! In the animal kingdom, only the strong survive, and that's the nature selection. When it

comes to mating season, the killings get even crueler. It's not just for food, but also to show off to potential

mating partners. It can be said that strength is the defining factor in mating for many animals! For example,

lions. In order to get the favor of the lioness, they will fight and even kill the females’ offspring to stimulate their

desire to mate. However, after the lioness got impregnated, it would have to go through struggles to raise its

own cub. They may not be able to live to see their cub to grow into adulthood. On the other hand, the lions will

have countless partners in their lives. They not only have no sense of raising their cubs, but also would even rob

the food of the lionesses, even if the lioness is raising the lion's own cub. This is the rules of brutal survival in the

animal kingdom!"

He was just casually telling her a little story, but he really enjoyed the silence and warmth of that moment that

only belonged to them.

"And there are also cockroaches. Apparently, many female cockroaches eat the males after they get pregnant.

Considering that only the strongest survive, they don't really have the concept of being partners. After mating,

they'll likely encounter each other even less. However, jackals are different. Once they mate, they will be loyal to

each other for the rest of their lives! That's why in the grasslands, you can often see them fighting against the

prey in pairs. The male jackal will leave the best part to its mate and let her eat first. Then, the leftovers will be

split into two parts. They will bury half of the food to make sure that it wouldn't be lost. When they encounter

danger, the male jackal will fight for its mate. When they have a cub, they will take the responsibility of nurturing

the cub together until the cub leaves home, which the male jackal will then repeat the sjourney with its

mate until the end of its life..."

Suddenly, Alicia understood what he was thinking.

"So, what you're saying is that in the eyes of humans, jackals would entail something negative, but in the eyes of

a female jackal, its life is blissful. Is that right?"

Animals had their own world. In that world, nobody could say if jackal was a brutish creature, or would be used to

described something bad.

"Yes! A jackal's loyalty is what I like the most! On the cruel and bloody grasslands, it's rare to see animals which

always appear in pairs, and that adore their cubs!"

In that aspect, jackals were loyal! To be more precise, a male jackal was one of the few animals who had a sense

of responsibility. Moreover, a jackal's ferocity was no less than that of a tiger or a wolf! There was an article

about jackals that touched him. That was also the first tFrederick had a good impression of jackals.

In the future, if anyone said that he had the heart of a jackal or a wolf, he would definitely not be angry

anymore! If he was to turn into an animal, even if he couldn't becthe king and dominate everyone, he

wouldn't mind being a male jackal.

At the stime, Alicia played with his hand and looked into his eyes with seriousness. She also felt the same

way.

"If | were to live in the animal world and had to choose an animal to turn into, I'd definitely choose to be a female

jackal!" Having a reliable partner was the greatest happiness. Her husband was so knowledgeable!

Was he trying to tell her that even though he might not be a good person in the strictest sense, he would still

treat her and her child like priceless treasure?

Regardless, at that moment, in

Alicia's heart, he was already the best and most perfect man in the world! No matter what they would encounter

in the future, she had no regrets or complaints. Even if she was to lose her life, she had lived a life worthy of

living!

"I saw it on National Geographic while | was in prison, when | was thinking of you and holding on to votter. It left

a deep impression on me. | didn't hate dogs anymore, since they are loyal animals too..." In all honesty, he had

just wanted to share something about his life with her.

"Huh?"

After that exclamation, Alicia giggled. Had she complicated things?

She caressed his chiseled face and relaxed her body as she leaned into his embrace.

"Hubby, we have to spend every day in the future like it's our last! In this way, no matter what happens in the

future, | think we won't have any regrets! Do you think we should pray for sblessings too? Even though your

tin prison is in the past, it was still a great danger, and | believe that the case has not even been solved

yet!"

Who knew if trouble would cto him again, and if there would be a next time?

Frederick pinched her little face and said, "Well, if you want to go pray, then let's go!"

Although he personally did not share that belief, it was not a bad idea to seek psychological comfort sometimes!

"Then, let's go before work starts on the 15th!"

Then, Alicia put her hands together devoutly and muttered something. Based on what she knew, it was better to

believe it than not! On the other hand, Frederick was thinking about how to completely solve the mess!

The case needed to have a closure, otherwise, it would just be like a bone stuck in his throat!

After searching for a day, they didn't end up going far. Frederick and Alicia chose the most well-known church in

Casterwich City, which was located on top of a mountain. They went mountain climbing together and prayed at

the church sincerely.

As the weather was still a little cold, there were not many people on the mountain. Alicia even got sadvice

from the priest there.

When they made their way down the

mountain, her mood was obviously much better. It was just that her outfit was bulky, so she couldn't walk very

smoothly. After walking half way down the mountain, she slowed down and had taken a rest for over five times.

Every tshe sat down, she wished she could just be glued to the ground.

On the mountain, the sun was setting very quickly. Seeing her little face turning red from the cold, Frederick used

his hands to warm her up. "Con up! I'll carry you down!"
