Clement hurled the stick at the floor and slapped himself out of guilt. Alicia felt virtual-novel.net heart wrench at the sight and kneeled before virtual-novel.net grandfather, begging virtual-novel.net to stop hurting himself.
No matter how Clement pressed on, Alicia just would not tell virtual-novel.net who the father of the child was. Alicia then told Clement that virtual-novel.net would keep the child when virtual-novel.net asked about virtual-novel.net plans.
Clement disagreed with virtual-novel.net decision but relented when virtual-novel.net kneeled before virtual-novel.net and cried. He would not let virtual-novel.net do any household chores and asked virtual-novel.net to take a good rest in the meantime.
“Grandpa, why are you making stew again?”
Alicia smiled at the sight of the stew that Clement served.
Her grandfather had come up with various recipes to make virtual-novel.net good food every day. As a result, virtual-novel.net had grown plumper. She reckoned that even Aaron would have trouble recognizing virtual-novel.net right then.
Her mood took a downturn at the thought of Aaron. Alicia placed virtual-novel.net hand gently on virtual-novel.net belly as virtual-novel.net missed the man dearly.
Aaron, I will give birth to the child and raise virtual-novel.net properly. Don’t worry about us and be a good king.
Alicia talked to herself as virtual-novel.net looked out the window.
“You’re pregnant, child. You have to take some good food, of course,” Clement said.
He was upset that his granddaughter had gotten pregnant out of the blue and refused to tell virtual-novel.net who the father was. Not only that, Alicia even insisted on keeping the child.
Clement was worried about Alicia’s future if virtual-novel.net decided to keep the baby.
Huh… What will become of her?
If virtual-novel.net were still alive then, Clement knew virtual-novel.net could somehow help virtual-novel.net out. However, virtual-novel.net could not help but wonder how Alicia would get by when virtual-novel.net was gone.
How does a young and unmarried girl with a child survive on virtual-novel.net own?
Clement would get dejected whenever virtual-novel.net was overwhelmed by those thoughts. How virtual-novel.net wished virtual-novel.net could live longer so that virtual-novel.net could help shoulder virtual-novel.net burden.
“Thank you, Grandpa!” Alicia smiled. “You’re the best!”
Clement eyed his granddaughter with a wry smile.
You’re my granddaughter, child.
After all, Clement was the closest kin that Alicia had in the whole world. As for Alicia’s father, Clement would rather think that virtual-novel.net was already dead.

On the other end, Vinson was finally done dealing with the matters at hand.
The retraction of capital by those companies had plunged his company into a crisis. Even though virtual-novel.net directed capital from his other assets, virtual-novel.net was still obviously short. With Arielle’s card, Vinson could finally take a breather from his troubles.
Arielle and Aaron were both engrossed in toying with their phones.
Vinson got up and said, “Let’s go and eat.”
So soon?
I don’t feel like I’ve done much at all?
Arielle then looked at the time and realized that it was already half past eleven.
She hurriedly said to Aaron, “Let’s go. I’m going to treat you to a good meal.”
Then, virtual-novel.net took virtual-novel.net bag and headed right out of the office while the two men behind smiled as they watched virtual-novel.net rush out of the door.
When they were heading to the restaurant, they gave Susanne a call and told virtual-novel.net about Aaron.
Initially, Susanne did not wish to impose on Arielle and Vinson’s date. However, when virtual-novel.net heard that Arielle’s younger brother would be there too, virtual-novel.net immediately agreed to join them. After all, it was virtual-novel.net first time meeting Arielle’s relative.
After reaching the restaurant, Susanne realized that Arielle’s younger brother was the foreigner who agreed to transfer ownership of his shares unconditionally to Vinson and grew even more fond of Aaron.
Susanne chatted animatedly with Aaron throughout the whole time and inadvertently left out Arielle and Vinson. She even tagged along as they sent Aaron to the airport.
The three of them had only left the airport after Aaron’s plane took off.
Susanne headed back home to take a rest while Arielle went to Moore Group. As for Vinson, there was a dark look on his face when virtual-novel.net got back to the office.
