Chapter 1854 Pull Out
Upon hearing that, Alicia and Clement looked at Aaron in bewilderment. Did we hear him wrong? Doesn’t he have a fiancée? Indeed, they were wondering how Aaron could marry Alicia and make her the queen.
“Kid, stop fooling around, will you? Don’t try to trick me. I know you already have a fiancée.” With that, Clement dragged Alicia into the house because he was sick of listening to Aaron’s lies.
Alicia didn’t want to leave, but she didn’t want to hurt Clement by fighting him off. She ended up throwing a glance at Aaron before walking into the house with Clement.
Seeing that they were leaving, Aaron instantly stood up and ran in front of them. “Grandpa, that’s what my grandma wants, not me. I’ll bring Alicia back and cancel the marriage arrangement I have with my fiancée.” Aaron then said to Clement with a straight face, “I love Alicia, and I want to marry her. I want her to be my wife and queen.”
“Do you want to marry Alicia so badly?” Clement asked, and Aaron nodded in response. “Fine. I’ll agree with it. However, I have one condition,” Clement added.
Upon getting Clement’s approval, a smile finally appeared on Aaron’s face. “Name it, Grandpa. As long as I get to marry Alicia, I’ll accept whatever conditions you have.”
“You can be with Alicia. My condition is that you must go back and break off the engagement first. Once that’s done, you can come over to fetch Alicia,” Clement uttered.
Aaron didn’t dare to accept the condition. He was worried that once he left, Clement and Alicia would go into hiding. “Grandpa, can I—”
Before Aaron could finish his sentence, Clement cut him off by saying, “No!”
Clement knew what was on Aaron’s mind, so he said, “Neither I nor Alicia will leave this place. We’ll wait for you here. All you need to do is cancel the marriage arrangement and announce it to the public.”
Alicia looked at Aaron and nodded slightly. At that, Aaron had no choice but to agree to it.
“Okay. I’ll go back and call off the engagement now. You guys must wait for me.” Aaron decided to go home and pull out of the marriage arrangement he had with Nico. Once I’ve done that, I’ll come with more people to bring Alicia home. I haven’t seen Alicia in such a long time, and I can’t wait to be with her.
When Aaron was leaving, Clement allowed Alicia to send him off. Before they parted ways, Aaron pulled Alicia into his embrace, grabbed her chin, and kissed her passionately. “Wait for my return,” he said.
Aaron then went home to tell Celeste he wanted to break off the engagement he had with Nico. Although Celeste was bothered by what happened between Nancy and Matthew, Celeste liked Nico because she thought the latter was the perfect daughter-in-law.
“Why’s that?” Celeste looked at Aaron and said, “I think Nico is a nice girl. She treats others well, and she’s going to be a good queen.”
Aaron knew Celeste was fond of Nico, so he told Celeste about Alicia.
“Who is she? What’s her status in society?” Celeste was very mindful of a person’s family background. In her opinion, having similar status was more important than a couple’s feelings for each other. Although Dylan and she were from similar backgrounds, she was never happy after their marriage. Despite that, her thoughts on the matter remained the same.
