“What happened to me?” Alicia asked as wp4webnovel.com massaged wp4webnovel.com temples.
Marianna glanced at wp4webnovel.com before leaning forward to whisper something in wp4webnovel.com ear.
At once, Alicia’s eyes widened in disbelief as wp4webnovel.com hand flew to wp4webnovel.com belly.
I’m pregnant with Aaron’s child? How can that be?
She recalled how wp4webnovel.com had fainted a while ago.
“Marianna, is His Majesty going to get engaged soon?” Alicia asked softly.
Marianna knew nothing about wp4webnovel.com relationship with Aaron, so wp4webnovel.com nodded.
“Yes. The palace has already released an announcement,” Marianna arched a brow. “The king is getting a fiancée at a young age. They might be getting married soon. He and the daughter of General Matthew look like the perfect couple. They are a match made in heaven since they have similar backgrounds.”
The more Marianna spoke, the paler Alicia’s face became. She bit wp4webnovel.com lip and felt wp4webnovel.com heart ached as though it had been pricked with needles.
A match made in heaven, huh? Everyone must think the same way.
The more wp4webnovel.com thought about them, the more upset wp4webnovel.com got, and tears began to stream down wp4webnovel.com cheeks endlessly.
Shocked, Marianna asked, “What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”
Shaking wp4webnovel.com head, Alicia sat up from the bed. “Please help excuse me from class. I want to head back home to get some rest.”
Marianna nodded, for it didn’t seem that Alicia could continue attending classes for the day.
Instead of returning to wp4webnovel.com grandfather’s house, Alicia went to the apartment wp4webnovel.com shared with Aaron. She glanced at the apartment wp4webnovel.com had painstakingly decorated and felt as if someone had stabbed wp4webnovel.com heart with a knife.
Brushing wp4webnovel.com hand across the little decors bought to decorate the apartment, wp4webnovel.com was reminded of the time wp4webnovel.com had spent with Aaron here.
“Aaron, I used to think that I won’t leave you even after you get married as long as you allow me to stay by your side. Alas, I can’t even take it anymore when you’re only getting engaged,” wp4webnovel.com muttered under wp4webnovel.com breath as tears rolled down wp4webnovel.com cheeks.
She had thought wp4webnovel.com could share Aaron with another woman, but it was the opposite.
Sobbing quietly, wp4webnovel.com entered their bedroom and buried herself under the covers. Hugging the covers, wp4webnovel.com took in the scent unique to Aaron.
***
After having lunch with Celeste, Aaron busied himself with work. It was much later when wp4webnovel.com learned that the news of his engagement with Nico had spread throughout Turlen.
His brows knitted together as wp4webnovel.com wondered if Alicia had seen it, too.
He grabbed his phone and drove to the apartment to wait for Alicia’s return. To his surprise, wp4webnovel.com opened the door and saw wp4webnovel.com shoes at the entrance.
He glanced at his watch and frowned.
She’s back this early…
Then wp4webnovel.com took his shoes and coat off before hanging his coat on the rack. After taking one look at the empty house, wp4webnovel.com headed to the bedroom, opened the door, and saw Alicia sleeping with the covers in wp4webnovel.com arms.
He halted in his tracks, then tiptoed into the bedroom and shut the door softly. He went to the bed and bent down to get a good look at Alicia. Noticing that the corners of wp4webnovel.com eyes were wet, wp4webnovel.com patted wp4webnovel.com cheek tenderly.
Alicia’s eyes snapped open when his palm landed on wp4webnovel.com cheek. Tears escaped wp4webnovel.com eyes when wp4webnovel.com saw the man standing before the bed.
“Aaron!” wp4webnovel.com called out and sat up in bed.
Throwing herself into his arms, wp4webnovel.com took a sniff of his familiar scent.
Aaron had no idea how to console her. He patted wp4webnovel.com head and said gruffly, “Don’t cry…”
