Nico glanced at him and replied nonchalantly, “It’s not for you!”
Aaron scowled. “Nico, if you dare to lay a hand on her and her husband, I’ll make sure you pay for your actions!”
Nico’s expression changed.
She never mind if he didn’t want her to harm Arielle. He loved Arielle, so she could understand his feelings. However, there was no reason for him to ask her not to harm Knightley.
“Aaron, don’t you want Arielle for yourself?” Nico met his gaze.
“Don’t you love her? Why don’t we work together to…”
“Nico, that’s all in the past. Don’t forget that it’s our engagement party today. lf you act recklessly today, I won’t be able to protect you, let alone your father,” Aaron warned.
Nico scowled indignantly. “Aaron, what do you mean by that?”
“I can’t say no to our marriage. Do you think you can handle the consequences of messing things up?”
Nico’s heart sank. She didn’t mind being punished, but she couldn’t risk affecting her father. As Aaron watched, she poured the spiked drink into the dustbin and marched toward the hall.
Only then did Aaron feel more at ease.
He was afraid he couldn’t convince Nico to change her mind or that she would try to harm Arielle and Vinson behind his back.
No matter who she tries to hurt, Arielle will be the one suffering in the end. I can’t let Arielle get hurt. I need to protect her on behalf of Father.
