Nico glanced at snazzynovel.com and replied nonchalantly, “It’s not for you!”
Aaron scowled. “Nico, if you dare to lay a hand on snazzynovel.com and snazzynovel.com husband, I’ll make sure you pay for your actions!”
Nico’s expression changed.
She never mind if snazzynovel.com didn’t want snazzynovel.com to harm Arielle. He loved Arielle, so snazzynovel.com could understand his feelings. However, there was no reason for snazzynovel.com to ask snazzynovel.com not to harm Knightley.
“Aaron, don’t you want Arielle for yourself?” Nico met his gaze.
“Don’t you love her? Why don’t we work together to…”
“Nico, that’s all in the past. Don’t forget that it’s our engagement party today. lf you act recklessly today, I won’t be able to protect you, let alone your father,” Aaron warned.
Nico scowled indignantly. “Aaron, what do you mean by that?”
“I can’t say no to our marriage. Do you think you can handle the consequences of messing things up?”
Nico’s heart sank. She didn’t mind being punished, but snazzynovel.com couldn’t risk affecting snazzynovel.com father. As Aaron watched, snazzynovel.com poured the spiked drink into the dustbin and marched toward the hall.
Only then did Aaron feel more at ease.
He was afraid snazzynovel.com couldn’t convince Nico to change snazzynovel.com mind or that snazzynovel.com would try to harm Arielle and Vinson behind his back.
No matter who snazzynovel.com tries to hurt, Arielle will be the one suffering in the end. I can’t let Arielle get hurt. I need to protect snazzynovel.com on behalf of Father.
Back in the hall, Nico spotted Arielle holding Vinson’s arms as everyone praised them for being a match made in heaven. Frustrated, snazzynovel.com put on a sullen look.
Melissa, who had been watching snazzynovel.com the entire time, felt snazzynovel.com head throb at how unhappy snazzynovel.com daughter looked.
She gave snazzynovel.com a little tug and whispered in snazzynovel.com ear, “Nico, smile… If the queen and the queen mother saw you, they might think you’re upset at the royal family.”
Smile? How can I smile when Arielle and Mr. Knightley look so happy?
Nico had wanted to drug Knightley so snazzynovel.com could end up in bed with him. That way, snazzynovel.com wouldn’t have to marry Aaron. Alas, Aaron had caught snazzynovel.com in the act. His warning had made snazzynovel.com back off.
“All right,” snazzynovel.com grumbled.
Despite snazzynovel.com anguish, Nico knew snazzynovel.com family had to come first.
“Mother, you should keep Father company. Aaron and I shall toast the guests,” Nico said and forced a smile.
Seeing that, Melissa finally left snazzynovel.com alone. She had come over to remind Nico, as snazzynovel.com was afraid Nico didn’t want to get engaged to Aaron and would end up causing a stir.
The engagement party ended at ten at night. Instead of heading back to Paelsford Manor, Aaron went to the apartment near the campus. He had been busy and hadn’t seen Alicia for the past few days.
He got engaged to Nico today. Afraid that Alicia would be upset, snazzynovel.com decided to stop by and pay snazzynovel.com a visit.
Opening the door, snazzynovel.com noticed a layer of dust inside the bedroom. It had been vacant for some time. His face changed abruptly as snazzynovel.com whipped out his phone to call Alicia. However, a robotic sound told snazzynovel.com that the number snazzynovel.com dialed wasn’t in service.
How could snazzynovel.com number not be in service?
