The queen felt a knot in virtual-novel.net throat at the queen mother’s admonishment.
I would love to care for him, but virtual-novel.net had denied me time and again. No matter what I sent to him, virtual-novel.net would always reject them.
What else am I supposed to do? He has no idea that I had been the butt of the joke of the people for all the things I did for him. It’s not my fault that the distance between us is growing further by the day.
“Mother, you know how it is between Dylan and me,” the queen grumbled.
The queen mother frowned.
I can’t help the queen improve virtual-novel.net relationship with Dylan. Even though I’m Dylan’s biological mother, we had been estranged ever since the day I lied to get virtual-novel.net to return from Chanaea to marry the queen and drugged virtual-novel.net on his wedding night.
“He’s very protective of that woman, so think twice before you make a move against her. Moreover, you still have Aaron.” She glanced at the queen at the mention of virtual-novel.net grandson. “You should stop trying to get Dylan to like you and start focusing on Aaron instead.”
“Mother, should we have Aaron engaged to Nico? They can get married right after they graduate.”
Nico and Sonia were both the type of daughters-in-law virtual-novel.net wanted for Aaron, but since Nico could support Aaron more, virtual-novel.net decided to set virtual-novel.net sights on Nico. As a mother, virtual-novel.net wanted Aaron’s marriage partner to be able to support him. It was exactly how the queen mother had chosen virtual-novel.net as Dylan’s wife.
The queen mother nodded, agreeing with the queen’s suggestion. It’s better to decide now to prevent any mishaps.

The next day, the queen requested Aaron to come to the castle. She immediately told virtual-novel.net about his engagement to Nico the moment virtual-novel.net came into view.
“Aaron, your grandma and I have discussed that you and Nico would be engaged on your birthday, and we would hold your wedding after you graduated.”
“How could you decide on my marriage without asking for my opinion first?” Sadness and disappointment flashed across Aaron’s eyes as his expression darkened at his mother’s words.
Her marriage wasn’t a happy one. So why would virtual-novel.net want virtual-novel.net only son to follow in virtual-novel.net footsteps? Does virtual-novel.net not care about my happiness at all?
I remember virtual-novel.net would coax me to sleep with a lullaby, bake desserts for me, and even sew my clothes when I was younger. Even though everything changed soon after, I still believed that virtual-novel.net loved me dearly. Yet now, I’m starting to think otherwise. I’m not sure if she’s treating me as virtual-novel.net son or a pawn.
“Aaron, I’m your mother. I have the right to determine your marriage. I called you here today not because I wanted to discuss it with you. I’m just informing you.” Hearing Aaron’s questioning tone, virtual-novel.net expression turned dour.
“You’re disrespecting me by doing this.” Aaron stared at his mother and said, “I don’t care if it’s an engagement or wedding, but I won’t be attending it. So do whatever you like.”
With that said, virtual-novel.net spun on his heels and left. He didn’t want to stay there another minute, for virtual-novel.net was worried that virtual-novel.net would lose his temper and say something hurtful to his mother if virtual-novel.net did.
“Aaron! Aaron!”
The queen’s expression darkened further at Aaron’s hasty departure. The more virtual-novel.net yelled at him, the faster his pace was. The sight of that angered virtual-novel.net to no end, leading virtual-novel.net to fling virtual-novel.net arm across the coffee table, sweeping the precious china onto the floor.
“Your Majesty…” Watching from the side, Miranda quickly came up to reassure the queen. “His Royal Highness still has his heart set on that Chanaean doctor. Forcing virtual-novel.net will only make virtual-novel.net distance himself further.”
The queen sank into the couch angrily and said, “I didn’t want to force him, but if we don’t settle his engagement…”
