“She’s just a commoner, and she lives with her grandpa.” Aaron glanced at Celeste and uttered in a serious tone, “Regardless of her status, I still like her. Whenever she’s with me, I feel warm and happy. I feel comfortable being around her.”
Celeste noticed Aaron’s body language when he was talking about Alicia.
After giving it some thought, Celeste agreed to let him cancel the marriage arrangement.
“Aaron, you ought to call off the engagement yourself so that there won‘t be bad blood between you and General Matthew. He has control over the military, so no matter what, you need to be careful,” Celeste said earnestly.
“Okay!” Aaron knew what Celeste said was for his own good.
He then nodded and wanted to go and look for Matthew to talk about the matter. Before he left, he turned around and smiled at Celeste. “Mom, you‘ll have a grandchild in five months’ time.”
With that, Aaron left cheerfully.
The only obstacle to breaking off the marriage arrangement wasn’t Matthew or Nico. In fact, it was actually Celeste.
Hence, he was on cloud nine after getting his mother’s approval. Although her approval wouldn’t change the outcome, it meant the world to him.
“Did you hear that, Miranda? Aaron said I’m going to have a grandchild soon. That means I’m going to be a grandma!”
Celeste was thrilled. She didn’t expect to have a grandchild so soon.
Miranda was just as happy for Celeste. “Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations!”
“He said the child will be born in five months’ time. Miranda, quick! Send someone to buy clothes and toys for the baby! We also need cribs and baby walkers!”
Before Miranda could utter a word in response, Celeste quickly added, “Never mind. Forget about it. I should be the one buying these things.”
