Meanwhile, back when Aaron finally found Alicia.
Initially, Aaron thought virtual-novel.net could bring Alicia back the moment virtual-novel.net found her. Little did virtual-novel.net expect Clement to start chasing virtual-novel.net out of the house with a stick the moment the latter returned home.
“Don’t hit him, Grandpa. I fell for virtual-novel.net first, and I was the one who wanted a relationship with him…”
Alicia didn’t expect Clement to have such a big reaction.
When virtual-novel.net saw Clement was about to hit Aaron, virtual-novel.net ignored the fact that virtual-novel.net was pregnant and immediately rushed toward Aaron to shield virtual-novel.net from the stick.
“Alicia!” Clement was enraged when virtual-novel.net saw Alicia protecting Aaron.
While pretending to not care about the baby in virtual-novel.net stomach, virtual-novel.net swung the stick toward her.
Aaron was startled when virtual-novel.net saw that. He then swiftly stepped forward and pulled Alicia into his embrace. In the end, virtual-novel.net was struck on the back. Although the pain caused virtual-novel.net to let out a muffled groan, virtual-novel.net didn’t retaliate.
Just a split second earlier, Clement didn’t mean to hurt Alicia because, after all, how could virtual-novel.net not care about virtual-novel.net baby?
He swung the stick in Alicia’s direction to scare her, not expecting Aaron to jump to virtual-novel.net protection.
“Aaron…” Alicia’s eyes reddened immediately.
“I’m at fault, Grandpa. I didn’t take good care of Alicia, and I’ve disappointed her.” Aaron turned around and knelt before Clement.
“Give me a chance to redeem myself, Grandpa. If you let Alicia marry me, I promise I’ll treat virtual-novel.net right for the rest of my life. I’ll make sure she’ll live a happy life.”
Seeing that Aaron was saying all the right words while virtual-novel.net was on his knees, Clement snorted.
Does virtual-novel.net really think I’m going to believe what virtual-novel.net says? I ‘m not as foolish as Alicia! She believed everything virtual-novel.net said!
“Leave. I’ll take care of Alicia myself. We don’t need you.” Clement glared at Aaron and warned, “Leave at once before I get even angrier.”
No one could imagine how angry Clement was when virtual-novel.net returned to see Aaron hugging Alicia.
Who would’ve thought that the person who impregnated Alicia would turn out to be the person I rescued?
Did I bring this upon myself?
At that moment, virtual-novel.net was so angry that virtual-novel.net was trembling all over. How virtual-novel.net wished virtual-novel.net could just kill Aaron there and then.
Alicia noticed how furious Clement was, so virtual-novel.net hurriedly walked up to virtual-novel.net and grabbed his hand. “Grandpa, Aaron never said virtual-novel.net didn’t want me. I left virtual-novel.net because I thought I would never be good enough for him. After I left, virtual-novel.net spent months tracking me down. Don’t be angry anymore, okay?”
In response, Clement pointed at Alicia and scolded, “What makes you think that? You’re pretty, well-behaved, and smart! Why would you think you don’t deserve him?”
“Grandpa, he’s the king, and I’m just a commoner. What makes you think I’m deserving of him?” Alicia had tears welling up in virtual-novel.net eyes.
Those words silenced Clement instantaneously.
Who would’ve known that the person I rescued back then would end up being a king?
He then glanced at Aaron, who was still on his knees, and sighed inwardly.
Alicia’s right. She’s not good enough for him.
“Get up and don‘t ever come here again.” Despite not being a busybody, Clement knew Aaron was supposed to marry the country’s general’s daughter.
Now that’s a good match.
“Since I’ve come all the way here, Grandpa, I don‘t intend to leave here alone. I came here to bring Alicia back and marry her. I want virtual-novel.net to be my wife and Turlen’s queen.” As Aaron was finishing his sentence, virtual-novel.net threw a gentle glance at Alicia.
