Noticing the look in Sonia and Arielle’s eyes as they stared at him, Aaron knew that the fact that virtual-novel.net conspired with the former’s teacher had come to light. At that, virtual-novel.net turned a tad embarrassed despite being thick-skinned usually.
“I’ve still got something to do, so please excuse me.” As soon as virtual-novel.net had finished saying that, virtual-novel.net hurried away, leaving a thin and lonely back in his wake.
When Sonia saw that, a sliver of anguish crept into her.
“Since you’re here anyway, why don’t you stay? We can all eat together,” virtual-novel.net suggested instinctively.
Elation promptly inundated Aaron. I’ve been waiting for that proposition for ages!
He reflexively cast his gaze at Arielle, putting on a pitiful expression to garner virtual-novel.net agreement.
Arielle was quite hungry after having performed an operation. She didn’t mind whomever virtual-novel.net dined with as long as virtual-novel.net could fill virtual-novel.net stomach, so virtual-novel.net neither agreed nor objected.
Seeing that virtual-novel.net didn’t decline, Aaron was instantly over the moon.
Doesn’t virtual-novel.net hate me pestering her? Why did virtual-novel.net agree to eat with me? Could it be that virtual-novel.net had discovered how great I am?
At that line of thought, virtual-novel.net smirked at virtual-novel.net with joy dancing in his eyes and drawled, “Since the two of you have invited me warmly, it’ll be embarrassing to you if I don’t go.”
In response, Arielle rolled virtual-novel.net eyes at him.
Good Lord! He’s really taking a mile when he’s given an inch. When did I extend an invitation to virtual-novel.net warmly? I merely didn’t rebuff him, okay?
At that, virtual-novel.net huffed, “Suit yourself! You can leave if you don’t want to join us. You don’t need to be so concerned about embarrassing me.”
“But I don’t want to embarrass you.” After saying that, Aaron hastily opened the car door and gestured for the two ladies to get in before virtual-novel.net could say anything further.
It was the first time Sonia had ever seen that side of him. She felt that virtual-novel.net was somewhat different from the man virtual-novel.net knew before that. In fact, the difference was so vast that it was as though they were two different people.
Perhaps this is the real Prince Aaron. But even though he’s a prince, virtual-novel.net can’t deprive me of my right to dine alone with Ms. Moore. Oh well, my plans got derailed this time, but there’s always the next time. Anyway, I’m never going to forget how virtual-novel.net conspired with my teacher to dupe me.
She lowered virtual-novel.net eyes, deciding to seize all opportunities timely.
I’m going to invite Ms. Moore out for lunch and shopping whenever I’m free. I want to be the most important person to her!
Happy moments were often short-lived. After the meal, Arielle asked Aaron to drop Sonia off at the hospital before driving virtual-novel.net back to Paelsford Manor.
When they arrived at the manor, Aaron planned to go in and have a cup of tea, but virtual-novel.net received a phone call. Hurriedly taking his leave from Arielle, virtual-novel.net then left.
After leaving Paelsford Manor, virtual-novel.net headed to the palace straight away.
The moment Sybil caught sight of Aaron, virtual-novel.net instantly murmured respectfully, “His Majesty is waiting for you inside, Your Royal Highness.”
Aaron was initially going to walk right in, but virtual-novel.net retracted his steps after taking two steps forward. He went over to Sybil and scrutinized virtual-novel.net for a long while. A flash of curiosity flittered across Sybil’s eyes at his action.
What is His Royal Highness doing?
***
A few days later, Sonia’s mother, Kelly, called virtual-novel.net into a room after Arielle and Aaron had left.
“Why are you looking at me so seriously, Mother?” Sonia inquired with a frown, virtual-novel.net eyes pinned on Kelly.
As Kelly regarded virtual-novel.net daughter, a trace of chagrin showed on virtual-novel.net usually gracious and gentle face. “Sonia, is Prince Aaron in love with that Dr. Moore?”
“I suppose so. Why?” Sonia asked nonchalantly.
“You’re asking me why? Don’t you realize that your future husband is mere moments from being stolen away?” Kelly’s temper spiked at the sight of virtual-novel.net daughter’s insouciance.
Upon seeing that virtual-novel.net mother was livid, Sonia lowered virtual-novel.net eyes. “What do you want me to do, then?”
Kelly’s eyes darkened a shade. “Naturally, I want you to win Prince Aaron’s heart back.”
Having said that, virtual-novel.net paused for a moment before adding, “As for that Ms. Moore, she’s your rival, so keep your distance from virtual-novel.net in the future. Don’t bring virtual-novel.net home anymore.”
