Becoming Alpha’s Personal Caretaker - Chapter 114: Chapter 114

Freda’s POV
He was recovering pretty quickly, more smoothly than I expected, and it was probably because of Kent’s return or Allen’s strong will. At first, he could only walk step by step slowly, but it only took him five days to walk like a normal person.
And things between us didn’t change because of my healing power at all. Allen didn’t get too possessive of me and things were still the same. However, he seemed to become more clingy.
Although I was a bit awkward when I used the word “clingy” on Allen.
Like when he was practicing walking, Allen would always ask for a little treat like a French kiss, a big hug, or a not-so-yummy sandwich that I tried my best to make. After all, I had no talent when it came to cooking. And when we gave each other a good night kiss, Allen would seem more tempting than ever. He loved nibbling my lips at the end and even though he was saying good night to me, he actually wanted me to stay.
And of course his clinginess might just be an illusion.
“…Freda,” Allen’s deep voice brought me back to my senses. It looked like he had just finished his morning training and had gone for a shower because he sweated. Water was dripping down his hair and fell right on his muscular chest and his abs, which looked sexy and seductive.
“How long did you work out this morning? Don’t overdo it,” I started fiddling with the coffee machine in front of me and reminded him, pretending that I didn’t care about what I just saw and looking away.
“Not too long. I’ve been following your orders,” Allen said as he squinted his eyes and smiled at me in a very serious tone, which made it hard for me to tell if he was seducing me or not, “if you don’t believe me, you can check for yourself.”
“As your attending doctor, I will,” I checked the time and said, “the routine checkup will begin at ten o’clock and I’ll see how much you’ve recovered.”
Allen pursed his lips and kept his cool. Then he looked at the coffee machine and said, “Can I get a cup of coffee, please?”
“Sure.”
I nodded.
But for some reason, the coffee mug was on the top shelf and it was a bit too high for me. I must stand on my tiptoe to reach the handle of the mug.
As I stood on my tiptoe, a familiar scent wrapped me around. Allen had come up behind me and he was so tall that it looked like my whole body was in his embrace. His fingers slipped past mine and grab the coffee mug on the top shelf.
Allen had just taken a shower and his body was still wet. I could smell the peppermint fragrance together with the moisture. He didn’t touch me at all but I could feel his gaze and his alpha scent all over me.
Then he gently put the coffee mug on the table.
He said in a husky voice from above my head, “Sorry, I put them on the top shelf out of habit.”
His warm chest was right next to my back and I could feel his heart pounding loud in his chest. After he put down the mug, he didn’t let go of me and poured boiling hot coffee into the mug while we were in this position. The steam was floating around the mug as he asked slowly, “Milk, no sugar?”
I guessed it wasn’t an illusion.
He seemed pretty calm and idle but just a bit clingy. He had been quietly tempting me recently.
“You put the coffee mug high on purpose?” I turned around in his arms and asked as I raised my eyebrows.
Allen said coolly, “It’s just a habit.”
I dropped another question, “Oh, so is having Richard putting my medical materials on the top shelf of the bookcase also your little habit?”
One day I found that the medical materials were on the top of the bookcase and then Allen came over, helped me grab them very naturally, and said Richard put them there. Now that I thought of it, the one who had been organizing the materials might be Allen.
“…Yeah,” Allen said as his eyes shimmered.
“Is that so?” I giggled and continued, “and is holding hands in our walk after dinner in the garden also your habit?”
Recently Allen would always use rehabilitation as an excuse to ask me to take a walk with him in the garden holding hands. And when I gave him a hug as a treat, he would put both his hands on my waist as if he wanted to pick me up…
Something suddenly crossed my mind.
I asked tentatively, “Allen, did you google what lovers would do?”
Hearing that, Allen’s hands shook a little, and spilled some milk out of the mug, “…What do you mean?”
“Nothing,” I took the milk from his hand, wiped it off the table with a kitchen paper towel, and took the cup of coffee. Then I got out of his embrace and started laughing, “But your ears have turned red, Allen.”
Sometimes, this alpha was actually quite adorable even though he was cold and ruthless in front of others.
“…I shouldn’t have trusted that dude,” Allen sighed quietly.
That dude?
He meant his funny friend Simon?
Then I thought of the way he had been behaving during the past few days. It was like he was following a routine. Did he have a schedule or something like that? I looked at Allen suspiciously.
But the list of things that lovers would do was forwarded to me by Mila. At that time, she said that no couple would be so stupid and follow the list like a bunch of teenagers and she didn’t have time to think about anything else when she was with her lover. Back then, I didn’t think that I would do any of the things on the list with anyone but now that I got Allen, I suddenly figured this was actually pretty sweet.
“You look like you’re daydreaming,” Cam roasted me in my head and just as I was about to deny it, she said seriously, “maybe your alpha wants to do things that he couldn’t do when he was still in his wheelchair.”
I was stunned. That was why he did all those intimate things with me. I felt a little bad for him but at the same time, my heart melted. I couldn’t help murmuring, “Maybe you can trust that fun dude for once.”
“What?” Allen looked at me.
I walked toward the study quickly, “Nothing. Let’s see how much your legs have recovered and see if we can move on to the next stage of training. Alpha Allen, let’s go.”
Allen stared at me and then gave me a significant smile, “Okay.”
In the study.
I pinched Allen’s legs gently, “Do you feel any discomfort?”
“No.”
I nodded. Allen was doing really well recently and for a couple of times, he even wanted to run. But when I turned to look at him, he would stop trying. In a way, he was a very cooperative patient.
And I stood up and gave him a comforting smile, “You’re doing really great. We can move on to the next stage and you can start your training gradually, Allen.”
Allen’s eyes sparkled when he heard that, “Alright, Kent can’t wait either.”
Thinking of what Cam just reminded me, I asked in a calm voice, “Do you want any reward? I wanna do the things on your list too.”
Those things weren’t childish at all.
Allen was stunned for a moment and then he chuckled, “Yes.”
“Such as?”
“Running in the forest with you in my arms.”
“Dancing in the moonlight with you.”
“These things aren’t on the list he sent me but I really want to do them with you.”
“And give each other a kiss in the moonlit forest.”
“Can we do those things, Freda?”
As we locked eyes, my heart skipped a beat and I felt like my head was in the clouds, “I’m willing to do all those things with you, Allen.”
The second I said that, I saw him smile.
“Then let’s do it right now.”
“Hmm?’
“What?!”
