Chapter 208 Only Like You
"Frederick, are you asleep?"
Alexa's gentle voice came from outside the guest room door at the end of the hallway. "Frederick?"
Behind the door, Rebecca froze.
Looking up, she met Frederick's smiling eyes.
He did it on purpose!
He must have heard Alexa's footsteps coming upstairs, which is why he deliberately said he was leaving.
"Becca, let go..."
Tickling her palm, Frederick gently released the door handle, then grabbed Rebecca's hand and pulled her into his arms.
"Becca..."
Frederick lowered his head and pecked her lightly on the lips. "You can't blame me for this! I said I was leaving, but now, you're the one holding me back and won't let me go!... Becca, you can't go back on this!"
How could he be so shameless!
She kicked him, but Frederick didn't even frown.
Instead, her toes hurt like she'd kicked the corner of a table.
Rebecca bit her lip and glared at him angrily. Frederick's face suddenly moved closer, cupping the back of her head as he kissed her.
Eyes wide open, Rebecca even forgot to breathe.
The next moment, footsteps stopped outside her bedroom door.
Alexa's voice was gentle. "Becca..."
The voice was so close, giving Rebecca the feeling of being caught red-handed by her mother. Her breathing was all over the place.
"Coming..."
After responding, Rebecca huffily pushed Frederick away and pointed him toward the bathroom.
Frederick leisurely walked into the bathroom.
Rebecca opened the door. "Mom..."
"There are new bathrobes in the guest room, but I don't know if Frederick finds them comfortable. I brought your father's new pajamas for him..."
Alexa gently handed over the navy blue pajamas in her hand. "I just called out to him, but he didn't answer. He's probably bathing Alex. You can give these to him later."
Slowly reaching out to take them, Rebecca couldn't help but sigh. "Mom, you really have some nerve! Having me deliver pajamas to him late at night—those who know would say you trust your own daughter, but those who don't might think you're trying to get me to seduce Mr. Windsor."
"You little rascal!"
Alexa looked amused. "Didn't you hear Frederick say he's already married? Besides, even if I didn't trust you, I trust the Windsor family's upbringing, the Windsor elders, and Mr. Windsor's character."
Frederick was famously cold and distant in Empire City's elite circles, and there had never been any rumors about him with women.
Forget girlfriends—he didn't even have a female secretary.
Entertainment reporters had been following him for years, and the woman who appeared most often by his side was Elizabeth.
Whenever the ladies in elite circles talked about Frederick, they would all exclaim about how lucky the woman who could win him over would be.
And the Windsor elders' reputation and character were beyond question. A child raised by them couldn't be bad!
That's why Alexa had sighed back then, wishing she'd had another daughter.
"You have to go see the exhibition tomorrow, so get to bed early..."
Affectionately touching Rebecca's face, Alexa adjusted the cashmere shawl on her shoulders and turned to go downstairs.
"Good night, Mom!"
Watching her mother go downstairs, Rebecca closed the door and let out a soft breath.
Turning around angrily, Rebecca had already decided—if Alex wouldn't let him in, then he could sleep in the hallway!
Walking toward the bathroom, Rebecca had just grabbed the door handle when she heard the sound of water from the shower.
"Frederick..."
She started to speak abruptly, then stopped herself. Rebecca pounded on the door. "You really don't consider yourself a guest... Ah..."
The bathroom door opened, and Frederick reached out an arm, pulling Rebecca into the bathroom.
Before her eyes was his bronze chest, water droplets falling from his hair, sliding down his neck.
But Rebecca didn't dare look down.
Looking up, she met Frederick's smiling dark eyes. Rebecca's gaze flickered. "People should really see what the supposedly cold, heartless, woman-avoiding Mr. Windsor is actually like in private!"
"Becca, I really don't go near women, because I only go near you!"
Frederick's eyes sparkled with amusement.
Her face suddenly felt hot. Rebecca was starting to regret this!
