Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

"Ah..." With a loud scream, Victoria suddenly sat up, only to find that there was cold sweat on her back. When she turned her head, she was shocked to realize that the sky was already bright. There was sunshine seeping through the curtains from the outside.

It was just a dream! "D*mn!" She patted her chest and lay back down lazily. How could she have such a strange dream? She pulled the stuffed doll beside her and casually punched it twice. It must be all that hooligan's fault. As soon as she cback, he threatened her, and she was almost scared to death! Rubbing her stomach, she turned over and waited for a few seconds before she got up and drew the curtains open.

After taking a shower and as she cout, she only felt that the sun was endlessly beautiful! In the world, there were sthings that couldn't be replaced. Any gorgeous place couldn't be compared to one's home! After packing up, Victoria went to the studio.

Although she had only left for a short period of time, a lot of trivial matters had piled up at the office. In the next few days, Victoria was really busy.

During that period, she kept in touch with Anthony, but when he asked about her whereabouts, she did not tell him that she was coming back. She wanted to give him a surprise, and they could properly talk about their future at the stime.

That day, she finally finished her work. Victoria inquired about Anthony's schedule and knew that he was in Casterwich City. There was a small dinner party that night, so she might go to him to give him a surprise.

After planning everything, she got up and made a cup of coffee. Seeing that it was not five o'clock yet and there was still stbefore she needed to leave at nine o'clock, she picked up her cell phone and checked Facebook. Then, she browsed the news.

Suddenly, a set of old Christmas photos cinto view. It arosed a lot of Victoria's thoughts all of a sudden, and her fingers stopped scrolling unknowingly.

Christmas was over! That year's Christmas, she fleeted to a foreign country! What she initially wanted and what Anthony wanted to give her was a romance in winter! She was scrolling through unconsciously, feeling a little disappointed and regretful. Even if she was there, it would not be as romantic! Nothing would be the sas before! However, such a scene would be absolutely breathtaking! It turned out that it was snowing heavily in Korea during Christmas that year! It was a romantic scene full of lovers around. As she scrolled through, Victoria felt a little envious. From the first to the last photo, regardless if they were whites, yellows, or blacks, everyone seemed so harmonious in the snowy day! As she inadvertently looked down, a photo of a beautiful couple holding hands suddenly cinto her sight. Victoria was instantly stunned. Why did that photo feel familiar? Her gaze fell on the sign of the Korean restaurant behind. The picture of a familiar night suddenly sprung into her mind. In an instant, a thought flashed through her mind, "It's him? Trevor?" Who was that woman from Korea? She recalled that he went to Korea the last twhen he ran away from her house. If she was right, he was seeing a woman there! The image of his gentle smile the last tstill lingered in her mind. Victoria's eyebrows unconsciously knotted, and the impression of the lonesfigure intertwined with his smile.

It seemed that that woman was who he really cared about! Victoria unconsciously shook her head, returned to her seat, and took a sip of coffee. She frowned and thought, "How can a man do this? How can he treat a woman like this?" With a burst of agitation, Victoria's movement while putting down the coffee cup was obviously more violent than usual. A few drops of coffee splashed out and fell on her cell phone. She pulled a tissue and was about to wipe off the coffee. Not knowing where she had accidentally touched, a few pictures popped out. Her gaze inadvertently lowered and froze again.

That person...

The photo was taken in a buzzing plaza, and it looked like a festival. The sky was also covered with snowflakes. The small park on one side was packed with people, and there were many kids. However, Victoria's eyes fell on the two figures next to a pile of artificial snowmen. Her mind becmore dismayed. Why did that squatting silhouette look like Anthony? Was he with another woman? As she scrolled up and found the date, Victoria was even more unnerved.

Was it that year's Christmas? Rubbing the area between her eyebrows, she fixed her eyes on the photo again. What was going on? Was she hallucinating? Why did it feel like it was him? Getting up, Victoria walked around the house twice. She also applied eyedrops to her eyes, turned back to the news again, and specifically went to look for the report about the snowy scene on Christmas. The more she looked at the photos, the mor absent-minded she got. In one of the photo, this man looked like Trevor, and in the other photo, that man looked like Anthony. Did these two men who pestered her all had side chicks? In the end, she only felt as if she was sick! On the table, after picking out a rose, she plucked the petals dully and unconsciously muttered in her heart, "Yes, no, yes..." The sky was getting dark, but in the office, her trash can was filled with rose petals! She felt a stuffy feeling in her chest.

In the end, she got up, drew a human shape with the pencil and crossed it out multiple times! After venting her frustrations for a while, she remembered something. She picked up her cell phone and called her mother. She wanted to chat with her mother at first, but when the phone was connected, she heard a strangely tired voice. "Rhea..."

"Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well? Has anything m happened?" Victoria askedün a ve heart-wrenching voice. They had only not contacted each other for a few days, but her mother's voice sounded so heavy. Why did she sound so tired? "Nothing! It's just your father. He didn't want to listen toand got so stubborn, ended up getting gastritis. They gave him IV drips for a few days, and I just returned home!" "Mom, what's the matter? Are you okay? Why didn't you call me! I'll book a ticket over to visit you!" Victoria was anxious. On the other end of the phone, Veronica continued to speak.

"There's no need. There's no need! I have just been discharged from the hospital. It's alright! Don't worry about us! Don't cover. He had this problem for a long tnow don't you know that? Don't cback all the way and trou Commnět yourself. If we have the time, we'll go back to visit you..." "Mom, what's actually going on? He was alright, so what suddenly upset him so much that got him ill?" The last tshe went there, it was only a matter of a month. Her parents were in good spirits and looked much younger! Why did they get sick after she had returned for just a few days?

The crucial point was that after she cback, she also made phone calls to them. They talked in a m inam relaxing manner the last time, but that tit was obviously heavy. Vaguely, Victoria could feel something was off, as if something serious had happened! "What can make your father angry? Apart from you, his baby girl, the only thing he loves is hockey!" "What?"

Could it be that they had lost the gagain? No way! Besides, wasn't her mother the one his one his father loved the most? As for herself, she assumed that she could cin at the third place for his father. It would be lucky enough if she wasn't being treated as an adopted child!
