Love Together, Be With You Never novel Chapter 73

Alicia's face turned pale immediately. No one but herself and I knew where she had been. She had gone to the bushes to laugh at me, and to see me being disfigured and abused.

Now that she had gone out of her way to "do me good", I was obliged to "pay her back". But there would be plenty of time. I was no in a hurry. 'Let's wait and see, Alicia.'

"Alicia, there's so much dirt on your shoes!" Marvin stood up to take a look and found Alicia's shoes covered in mud. Every step that she took would leave behind a pair of striking black marks on the floor.

Marlon was gazing at Alicia's shoes as well, but he did not say anything.

"I..."

Pretending to be curious, I walked over to Alicia and pointed at the hickeys on her neck. "Alicia, where did the red marks on your neck come from? You cannot go to the bushes. Are they mosquito bites?"

No one present was idiot. They could tell hickeys from mosquito bites and stings.

"Mr. Redford seems to be cold and desire for nothing. I didn't expect that..."

"Nor did I..." The guests were whispering. They didn't dare to speak up because none of them could afford to offend Marlon.

"Mr. Redford, Alicia is pregnant. How can you let her go to the bushes? Now she got bitten by mosquitos. The mountain mosquitos are lethal! They carry infectious bacteria. It's dangerous if you got bitten by them!" I spoke up and blamed Marlon. Inside, I was happy. Maybe the guests assumed that these hickeys were from Marlon. But Alicia and I knew that they was left by Kaleb in the bushes. Marlon was clear about that, too.

Marlon swept a glance at Alicia's neck, and then stared at me with his black eyes. On the surface, I was showing concern for Alicia. But looking at Marlon's face, I can't help but laugh inside. I wanted to tell him: this is the woman you love. She not only frame others but was cheating on you when she was at a banquet with you. I was also curious about Marlon's reaction when he found out the truth in the future.

'Marlon, you said I was the most disgusting woman. You said I was a liar. Let's wait and see. I am wondering what you would say about Alicia if you have seen what happened!'

Bang!

Alicia suddenly fell onto the ground. Marlon looked at me one last time and helped Alicia up immediately.

"Alicia, is everything OK with you?" Things fell into chaos. The scene became chaotic. Shania and Marvin hurried over to Alicia.

I stood by, looking coldly at Alicia get surrounded by others. If I knew little about Alicia, I would have believed that she really fainted.

Nonetheless, she did impress me with the composure in the face of danger. She simply chose to faint when she could not offer a proper explanation about the hickeys. She was smart indeed. Marlon was obsessed with her and she was pregnant now. Marlon would surely go easy on her about the hickeys.

As expected, Marlon hurried to take Alicia upstairs and ordered to call 911.

"Let's go back home!" I had enough of the farce and decided to leave.
