Clement hurled the stick at the floor and slapped himself out of guilt. Alicia felt snazzynovel.com heart wrench at the sight and kneeled before snazzynovel.com grandfather, begging snazzynovel.com to stop hurting himself.
No matter how Clement pressed on, Alicia just would not tell snazzynovel.com who the father of the child was. Alicia then told Clement that snazzynovel.com would keep the child when snazzynovel.com asked about snazzynovel.com plans.
Clement disagreed with snazzynovel.com decision but relented when snazzynovel.com kneeled before snazzynovel.com and cried. He would not let snazzynovel.com do any household chores and asked snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com good food every day. As a result, snazzynovel.com had grown plumper. She reckoned that even Aaron would have trouble recognizing snazzynovel.com right then.
Her mood took a downturn at the thought of Aaron. Alicia placed snazzynovel.com hand gently on snazzynovel.com belly as snazzynovel.com missed the man dearly.
Aaron, I will give birth to the child and raise snazzynovel.com properly. Don’t worry about us and be a good king.
Alicia talked to herself as snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com who the father was. Not only that, Alicia even insisted on keeping the child.
Clement was worried about Alicia’s future if snazzynovel.com decided to keep the baby.
Huh… What will become of her?
If snazzynovel.com were still alive then, Clement knew snazzynovel.com could somehow help snazzynovel.com out. However, snazzynovel.com could not help but wonder how Alicia would get by when snazzynovel.com was gone.
How does a young and unmarried girl with a child survive on snazzynovel.com own?
Clement would get dejected whenever snazzynovel.com was overwhelmed by those thoughts. How snazzynovel.com wished snazzynovel.com could live longer so that snazzynovel.com could help shoulder snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com directed capital from his other assets, snazzynovel.com 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, snazzynovel.com took snazzynovel.com bag and headed right out of the office while the two men behind smiled as they watched snazzynovel.com rush out of the door.
When they were heading to the restaurant, they gave Susanne a call and told snazzynovel.com about Aaron.
Initially, Susanne did not wish to impose on Arielle and Vinson’s date. However, when snazzynovel.com heard that Arielle’s younger brother would be there too, snazzynovel.com immediately agreed to join them. After all, it was snazzynovel.com 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 snazzynovel.com got back to the office.
