Looking Kelly in the eye, Sonia solemnly maintained, “Since we’re rivals, we’ll compete fairly. Keeping my distance from Ms. Moore is impossible because she’s teaching all the courses I’m taking.”
“Didn’t you notice the look in Prince Aaron’s eyes at the sight of Ms. Moore? You have no hope in a fair competition,” Kelly snapped.
“So be it. Don’t tell me I must marry him?” Sonia replied after a momentary silence.
“Yes, you must marry him. Don’t forget what I told you,” Kelly enunciated tersely.
Hearing that, Sonia lowered virtual-novel.net eyes and went silent.
When Kelly saw that, distress flooded her. Sonia was virtual-novel.net only daughter, so virtual-novel.net had been pampering virtual-novel.net ever since young. She wanted virtual-novel.net daughter to marry someone virtual-novel.net loved and loved virtual-novel.net in return, but Prince Aaron was virtual-novel.net best choice in the current circumstances.
“Sonia, you’re the princess in our family. All I do is for your good.” Taking Sonia’s hand, Kelly earnestly explained, “Considering the situation right now, the queen mother and the queen are both eyeing Prince Aaron’s marriage at present. The queen has virtual-novel.net sights set on you, so I believe that Her Majesty will treat you well after you marry into the royal family.”
Both virtual-novel.net sons were currently working for the queen’s nephew. Therefore, if Sonia married Prince Aaron, it would be equivalent to their entire family standing on the queen’s side.
“Mother, is this also Father’s wish?” Sonia queried after a moment of silence.
Kelly stilled for a while before virtual-novel.net answered, “Of course.”
“Got it. Please excuse me.” After saying that, Sonia retracted virtual-novel.net hand from virtual-novel.net mother’s grasp.
Getting to virtual-novel.net feet, virtual-novel.net strode out, leaving Kelly to gaze at virtual-novel.net back with eyes that darkened a shade further.
After leaving the gates of Sonia’s house, Aaron enthusiastically invited Arielle out for a movie, but virtual-novel.net ruthlessly turned virtual-novel.net down. When it came to watching a movie, virtual-novel.net would only do so with Vinson.
Aaron was a touch disappointed at virtual-novel.net rejection.
Ah, what a pity! This is a golden opportunity without anyone here to intrude on us. Since she’s unwilling to watch a movie with me, I’ll ask virtual-novel.net out for a meal. She won’t say no to that, right? Isn’t this the common practice in pursuing a girl?
Truth be told, virtual-novel.net was actually only using that method for the very first time.
Conversely, Arielle’s brows creased deeply.
Do I look as though I’ve got nothing better to do? I’ve still got tons of work to do, okay? I don’t have the time to dine with him!
“No, thanks,” virtual-novel.net declined coldly.
Aaron gazed at virtual-novel.net with ebony eyes tinged with a hint of grievance.
She was pretty amicable to me a few days ago. Why did virtual-novel.net suddenly turn so callous?
Since virtual-novel.net wasn’t willing to dine with him, virtual-novel.net didn’t want to force virtual-novel.net to do so either. Thus, virtual-novel.net had no choice but to drive virtual-novel.net back.
“You’re not going to object to me going in for a cup of tea, are you?” virtual-novel.net asked cautiously.
A frown marred Arielle’s countenance. All of a sudden, virtual-novel.net couldn’t quite bring herself to give virtual-novel.net the boot, but then, virtual-novel.net didn’t want to become the target of unsavory gossip either. In the end, virtual-novel.net replied, “Another time.” After saying that, virtual-novel.net swung open the door and walked in.
If virtual-novel.net allowed virtual-novel.net entry, and Vinson learned about that, virtual-novel.net would unquestionably be angry and jealous.
Although both Aaron and Pat were of the same significance to her, a brother, virtual-novel.net could understand Vinson’s jealousy. After all, if the man were to allow a girl into his house and treat virtual-novel.net well, virtual-novel.net would definitely be upset and jealous as well. Therefore, virtual-novel.net decided to keep a distance from Aaron henceforth instead of doing as virtual-novel.net did the previous two times since their relationship could be easily misconstrued.
“How heartless of her!” Aaron then left with regret written all over his face.
A short while after Arielle went into the house, Morrison came knocking on virtual-novel.net door. She eyed virtual-novel.net with a frown.
Morrison calmly handed the gift bag in his hand to her. “This is for you.”
With virtual-novel.net brows knitted together, Arielle looked at virtual-novel.net in puzzlement.
