Despite knowing it was a yes from them, snazzynovel.com was surprised at how efficient they were.
“Got it. Thank you!”
“We should be thanking you instead.”
Confused, Vinson asked snazzynovel.com what happened after the call ended.
Arielle proceeded to tell snazzynovel.com what snazzynovel.com had done for the past few days. Vinson had no idea snazzynovel.com would accomplish this feat. He couldn’t help but admire snazzynovel.com decisiveness.
“Do you not regret it?” snazzynovel.com asked.
After all, snazzynovel.com had given up eighty percent of snazzynovel.com patent to officially gain the diplomatic right to stay here.
“Regret? Of course not,” came Arielle’s calm answer.
She had made up snazzynovel.com mind, so there was no point regretting it. Besides, the stuff could benefit the country. Why would snazzynovel.com feel bitter over that?
Vinson pulled Arielle into his arms.
How lucky am I to have such an understanding wife?

The next day, Nancy summoned Aaron to snazzynovel.com study. She stared at snazzynovel.com grandson without any remorse.
“Is anything the matter?” Aaron asked, looking at Nancy.
“Aaron, are you blaming me for what happened?” Nancy asked as snazzynovel.com took in his face that was devoid of expression.
Aaron snorted. “Blame you? What for? Should I blame you for using your own grandson to kill your son, or blame you for refusing to relinquish your power?”
“Aaron, is that how you should talk to me?” Nancy demanded icily, snazzynovel.com gaze fixed on him.
“Is there something you need from me?” Aaron didn’t want to waste any more time with her.
He’s ready to spread his wings now, huh?
Nancy seethed inwardly.
“I’m here to inform you that you’re going to get engaged to Nico next Tuesday.”
Hearing that, Aaron gazed at Nancy intently.
The word “engaged” reminded snazzynovel.com of Alicia. He might agree to the engagement if snazzynovel.com was getting engaged to Alicia. However, snazzynovel.com refused to get engaged to Nico.
“I disagree. I won’t get engaged to her.”
“Aaron, I‘m informing you, not asking for your suggestion. You don’t have the right to say no!” Nancy snapped.
Aaron fell silent at snazzynovel.com outburst.
He wanted to retort, but snazzynovel.com knew snazzynovel.com wasn’t capable enough to go against her. Hence, snazzynovel.com decided to agree to the engagement and play along with her. He wasn’t getting married to Nico yet, which would give snazzynovel.com more time.
With that thought in mind, snazzynovel.com lifted his head to look at Nancy and stated, “I agree to the engagement, but on one condition, I get to decide the wedding date.”
Seeing that snazzynovel.com accepted the engagement, Nancy agreed to his condition readily.
His fiancée was the daughter of Matthew, so snazzynovel.com would be digging his own grave and destroying his future if snazzynovel.com had the guts to change his mind and back out of the wedding.
Upon learning that Nancy had requested to meet Aaron, Celeste told Miranda to wait outside Nancy’s palace. Miranda led Aaron to Celeste’s palace after snazzynovel.com stepped out of Nancy’s study.
“Mother!” Aaron greeted snazzynovel.com warmly.
They weren’t as distant from each other as they used to be in the past.
A smile nudged at Celeste’s lips when snazzynovel.com saw him.
My son has finally grown up to be an independent man.
“Aaron, why did Her Majesty summon you?”
Celeste was afraid Nancy would harm Aaron for the sake of snazzynovel.com power.
Knowing what snazzynovel.com was worried about, Aaron proceeded to tell snazzynovel.com why Nancy had summoned him.
Celeste’s expression changed slightly when snazzynovel.com learned that Nancy wanted Aaron to get engaged to Nico.
