Chapter 1044

Alicia had been friends with Suella for a long time. She knew the kind of woman Suella was. Suellahad been trying to use Alicia to marry a rich guy, yet she wanted nothing but the best. She didn'tlike the rich guys who liked her, but the ones she had her eyes on spared her no affection. Yet, shestill tried to seduce them like a fool. Even though those men's wives knew what Suella was doing,they never attacked her due to her friendship with Alicia. Though, they would talk behind Alicia'sback.

This wasn't the first time Suella did it. However, Alicia kept trying to cover for her because they werecollege friends, and thanks to that, Suella managed to stay in the circle of the wealthy. This time, shetried to cover for Suella as usual. "Sorry, Miss Whitney. She just wants to marry the best, but shemeans no harm. I'l tell her that."

"You know Miss Taggert better than I do. I trust you just like how you trust her," Ariel mocked.Alicia looked away nervously. This isn't the first time she's done this. I can't tell Ariel that she'sactually a good person.

Ariel thought she had pushed far enough, so she said solemnly, "Miss Heidelberg, you're a goodfriend. Danny and I are willing to be your friend, which brings me to a serious topic. Keeping ascheming person around is a hazard. They might explode in your face one day, and you might endup dying."

Alicia had wanted to cut ties with Suella a long time ago, but every time Suella came up to her,Alicia would relent and drop the idea. Now that Ariel was already telling her to break off ties withSuella, she would do just that. She figured she would do it after they went back. "Thank you, MissWhitney. I'll take your suggestion into account. Sorry to trouble you."

"No worries. Thanks for saving Danny. See you. Have fun tonight."

"See you." Alicia sent Ariel off and closed the door. Alicia stared at the bottles of water in her hands.A while later, Suella came out of the bathroom draped in a piece of towel. She dried her hair andlooked at Alicia standing at the room entrance. "Who was it just now?"

"No one. You were hearing things," replied Alicia.

"No one. You were hearing things," replied Alicia.

"I see." Suella shrugged it off. She looked at the bottles of water Alicia was holding and froze. Hey,that's the water Ariel had. Alicia has them as well? How come I don't know? "I'm parched. Give me abottle.” She snatched a bottle and took a gulp, demolishing half a bottle in one go. Then, shescoffed. "It's nothing special.”

After saying that, she smiled smugly. And Ariel said I wasn't worthy of this. Look at me now. I wantthe best of the best. Even the man I date must be the best.

Ugh, she has that stupid look again, Alicia thought while shaking her head. She then changed thetopic and said, "Get changed. We need to start our hike soon and get a good spot, or we're goingto miss the meteor shower."

"I know." Suella finished the remaining water and straightened herself out.

Twenty minutes later, the ladies were making their trek up the mountain. The observatory was onthe top. The hotel was at the mountainside, so they had to trek if they wanted a better view. Eventhough Alicia was holding most of their stuff, Suella was already sweating and huffing not long afterthey started to trek. Eventually, she got dizzy, and her legs wobbled. "I can't go on." Suella leanedon the guardrail. "How much farther? I can't go on any longer.”

"What?" Alicia looked behind them. That's like two flights of stairs. She shrugged. "You really needto train, Suella. Take your time. I'll set up camp.” Thinking that Suella was just out of breath, Alicialeft her alone. There were a lot of people here for the meteor shower. She wasn't worried aboutSuella. If anything happens, some of the tourists will help. Alicia exercised a lot, and without Suellaholding her down, she was gone in a flash.

Suella stopped for a moment and tried to catch up to Alicia, but then her stomach churned, and sheretched. I can't go on. Better go back and rest. She held her nausea in and wobbled back to thehotel, evading all the tourists.

"No one. You were hearing things," replied Alicia.

Her whole body was flaring up when she was in the elevator. Every inch of her skin felt like it was onfire. Slowly, her consciousness was starting to fade, and she tugged on her shirt, trying to coolherself down.

The elevator door swung open, and she leaned on the wall as she moved ahead. Her will was whatkept her conscious. Just then, she bumped into someone and fell over. "Water... I need water,” shemuttered. Her throat was parched, but then she noticed a familiar scent. It woke her up a little. "Mr.Danny, is that you?" She leaned on the man before her, touching him all over.

The man stayed silent for a while. Danny? He picked the woman up and took her into Room 206.

At the observatory, since Elise was pregnant, Alexia told her to sit down while she and Irvin happilyset up a tent. The kids worked well, and thanks to Elise’s guidance, they set up their tent in less thanhalf an hour. Then, they hung some lamps. The fluorescent star stickers on the tent startedglimmering, filling the air with innocence.

Danny and the others finally came when the moon was hanging high up in the sky. The first thingthey did upon their arrival was to tease Alexia. "Ooh, that's a nice tent. I bet you can dream of ameteor shower if you sleep in it. Can I have the tent for the night, Lexi?" Jamie placed a carton ofwine on the picnic mat.

"No! You're a baddie, Godfather.” Alexia stood before the tent's entrance and opened her arms. Shethen scrunched up her nose, making everyone laugh. Hey, they're playing around with me! Alright,Godfather, you asked for it. She quickly hugged Narissa's leg. "Godfather's a bully!"

Narissa hunkered down and straightened Alexia's hair. Then, she said, "He's going to sleep on theground tonight, then."

"Great idea!"
