Chapter 1666 Are You Blaming Me
Despite knowing it was a yes from them, she was surprised at how efficient they were.
“Got it. Thank you!” “We should be thanking you instead.”
Confused, Vinson asked her what happened after the call ended.
Arielle proceeded to tell him what she had done for the past few days. Vinson had no idea she would accomplish this feat. He couldn’t help but admire her decisiveness.
“Do you not regret it?” he asked.
After all, she had given up eighty percent of her patent to officially gain the diplomatic right to stay here.
“Regret? Of course not,” came Arielle’s calm answer.
She had made up her mind, so there was no point regretting it. Besides, the stuff could benefit the country. Why would she feel bitter over that?
Vinson pulled Arielle into his arms. How lucky am I to have such an understanding wife?
The next day, Nancy summoned Aaron to her study.
She stared at her grandson without any remorse.
“Is anything the matter?” Aaron asked, looking at Nancy.
“Aaron, are you blaming me for what happened?” Nancy asked as she took in his face that was devoid of expression.
Aaron snorted. “Blame you? What for? Should I blame you for using your own grandson to kill your son, or blame you for refusing to relinquish your power?”
“Aaron, is that how you should talk to me?” Nancy demanded icily, her gaze fixed on him.
“Is there something you need from me?” Aaron didn’t want to waste any more time with her.
He’s ready to spread his wings now, huh? Nancy seethed inwardly.
“I’m here to inform you that you’re going to get engaged to Nico next Tuesday.”
Hearing that, Aaron gazed at Nancy intently.
The word “engaged” reminded him of Alicia. He might agree to the engagement if he was getting engaged to Alicia. However, he refused to get engaged to Nico.
“I disagree. I won’t get engaged to her.”
“Aaron, I’m informing you, not asking for your suggestion. You don’t have the right to say no!” Nancy snapped.
Aaron fell silent at her outburst.
He wanted to retort, but he knew he wasn’t capable enough to go against her. Hence, he decided to agree to the engagement and play along with her. He wasn’t getting married to Nico yet, which would give him more time.
With that thought in mind, he lifted his head to look at Nancy and stated, “I agree to the engagement, but on one condition—I get to decide the wedding date.”
Seeing that he accepted the engagement, Nancy agreed to his condition readily. His fiancée was the daughter of Matthew, so he would be digging his own grave and destroying his future if he had the guts to change his mind and back out of the wedding.
Upon learning that Nancy had requested to meet Aaron, Celeste told Miranda to wait outside Nancy’s palace. Miranda led Aaron to Celeste’s palace after he stepped out of Nancy’s study.
“Mother!” Aaron greeted her warmly. They weren’t as distant from each other as they used to be in the past.
A smile nudged at Celeste’s lips when she saw him. My son has finally grown up to be an independent man.
“Aaron, why did Her Majesty summon you?”
Celeste was afraid Nancy would harm Aaron for the sake of her power.
Knowing what she was worried about, Aaron proceeded to tell her why Nancy had summoned him. Celeste’s expression changed slightly when she learned that Nancy wanted Aaron to get engaged to Nico.
