Chapter 1410 Keep Your Distance From Her
Noticing the look in Sonia and Arielle’s eyes as they stared at him, Aaron knew that the fact that he conspired with the former’s teacher had come to light. At that, he turned a tad embarrassed despite being thick-skinned usually.
“I’ve still got something to do, so please excuse me.” As soon as he had finished saying that, he hurried away, leaving a thin and lonely back in his wake.
When Sonia saw that, a sliver of anguish crept into her.
“Since you’re here anyway, why don’t you stay? We can all eat together,” she suggested instinctively.
Elation promptly inundated Aaron. I’ve been waiting for that proposition for ages!
He reflexively cast his gaze at Arielle, putting on a pitiful expression to garner her agreement.
Arielle was quite hungry after having performed an operation. She didn’t mind whomever she dined with as long as she could fill her stomach, so she neither agreed nor objected.
Seeing that she didn’t decline, Aaron was instantly over the moon.
Doesn’t she hate me pestering her? Why did she agree to eat with me? Could it be that she had discovered how great I am?
At that line of thought, he smirked at her with joy dancing in his eyes and drawled, “Since the two of you have invited me warmly, it’ll be embarrassing to you if I don’t go.”
In response, Arielle rolled her eyes at him.
Good Lord! He’s really taking a mile when he’s given an inch. When did I extend an invitation to him warmly? I merely didn’t rebuff him, okay?
At that, she huffed, “Suit yourself! You can leave if you don’t want to join us. You don’t need to be so concerned about embarrassing me.”
“But I don’t want to embarrass you.” After saying that, Aaron hastily opened the car door and gestured for the two ladies to get in before she could say anything further.
It was the first time Sonia had ever seen that side of him. She felt that he was somewhat different from the man she knew before that. In fact, the difference was so vast that it was as though they were two different people.
Perhaps this is the real Prince Aaron. But even though he’s a prince, he can’t deprive me of my right to dine alone with Ms. Moore. Oh well, my plans got derailed this time, but there’s always the next time. Anyway, I’m never going to forget how he conspired with my teacher to dupe me.
She lowered her eyes, deciding to seize all opportunities timely. I’m going to invite Ms. Moore out for lunch and shopping whenever I’m free. I want to be the most important person to her!
Happy moments were often short-lived. After the meal, Arielle asked Aaron to drop Sonia off at the hospital before driving her back to Paelsford Manor. When they arrived at the manor, Aaron planned to go in and have a cup of tea, but he received a phone call. Hurriedly taking his leave from Arielle, he then left.
After leaving Paelsford Manor, he headed to the palace straight away.
The moment Sybil caught sight of Aaron, he instantly murmured respectfully, “His Majesty is waiting for you inside, Your Royal Highness.”
Aaron was initially going to walk right in, but he retracted his steps after taking two steps forward. He went over to Sybil and scrutinized him for a long while. A flash of curiosity flittered across Sybil’s eyes at his action. What is His Royal Highness doing?
A few days later, Sonia’s mother, Kelly, called her into a room after Arielle and Aaron had left.
“Why are you looking at me so seriously, Mother?” Sonia inquired with a frown, her eyes pinned on Kelly.
As Kelly regarded her daughter, a trace of chagrin showed on her usually gracious and gentle face. “Sonia, is Prince Aaron in love with that Dr. Moore?”
“I suppose so. Why?” Sonia asked nonchalantly.
“You’re asking me why? Don’t you realize that your future husband is mere moments from being stolen away?” Kelly’s temper spiked at the sight of her daughter’s insouciance.
Upon seeing that her mother was livid, Sonia lowered her eyes. “What do you want me to do, then?”
Kelly’s eyes darkened a shade. “Naturally, I want you to win Prince Aaron’s heart back.” Having said that, she paused for a moment before adding, “As for that Ms. Moore, she’s your rival, so keep your distance from her in the future. Don’t bring her home anymore.”
