Chapter 1652

Chapter 1652“Matthew…” Nancy called out as Matthew was getting dressed.
Matthew regretted his inability to restrain himself.
“Matthew…” Nancy circled her hands around the man’s waist.
“Don’t go. Could you stay and accompany me for the night?”
Matthew’s body stiffened in response. He wanted to reject her and told her that it had all been a terrible
mistake. However, he thought it was too cruel to say that to her right after bedding her.
“I have something on,” Matthew said and shrugged Nancy off.
He put on his clothes in silence and hurried out of the room.
Nancy narrowed her eyes as she looked at the man. Monisha came back right then and noticed the
look on the queen mother’s face. She immediately recalled the cold, hard look on Matthew’s face just
now and started to put two and two together.
Monisha said nothing and served Nancy as the latter took a bath. After the queen mother came out of
the shower, Monisha looked at her and said in a small voice, “General Matthew looked really cold and
distant when he left.”
Nancy narrowed her eyes slightly after listening to her.
Is he regretting that we slept together?
Her lips curled into a cold snicker. “Don’t he dare dream about cutting ties with me after having bedded
me!”Then, she remembered Matthew’s reaction when the photos went public. Her eyes flashed with a cold
glint.
novelbinSince he has decided to be so heartless, don’t blame me for doing the same.
Then, she whispered into Monisha’s ears. The latter’s expression was visibly taken aback before she
nodded and headed out of the room.

Meanwhile, Monisha has returned Aaron’s phone after releasing him.
Aaron turned on his phone and noticed the multiple missed calls and text messages from Alicia.
Alicia: Aaron, what’s the matter with you? Why are you grounded?
Alicia: His Majesty has passed away. You must be really upset. I Wish I could be by your side right now.
Alicia: I miss you… I miss you so much.
Alicia: I can’t get hold of any news on you. How are you doing? Are you hurt?
There were over hundreds of missed calls and text messages. Aaron did not know how to describe his
feelings, except that he really wanted to protect the naive and innocent girl who was worried sick about
him.
After texting her, Aaron called his chauffeur and ordered him to fetch Alicia from his grandpa’s place to
Paelsford Manor. At that moment, he wanted nothing more than to see her.
The chauffeur was quick. Alicia was already in his room when Aaron came out of the shower.
She has lost weight…It was the first thought that came into his mind when he saw Alicia. He furrowed his brows slightly,
baffled by the sheer amount of weight that she had lost in just a few days’ time.
“Aaron…” Alicia dashed into his embrace before he could say anything.
He felt her tears against his chest.
Aaron lifted his hand and hesitated for a moment. Then, he gently patted her on her back and said, “I’m
all right…”
Alicia removed herself from his embrace and caressed his face.
Her eyes were misty and red as she looked at him, “You look so weary, and you’ve become thinner.”
Tears streamed down her face. Alicia felt her heart wrench at the sight. She could not bear to see him
hurt.
“I would say the same for you,” Aaron said as he wiped the tears streaming down her cheeks. “Did you
not eat well? You have to eat to your heart’s content now. I don’t want to hug skeleton to sleep!”
Alicia panicked for a moment when she heard him. For a split second, she really thought that Aaron did
not like her as she was all thin and bony.
She clutched tightly to Aaron’s hand in anxiousness.
