Chapter 1853

Meanwhile, back when Aaron finally found Alicia.

Initially, Aaron thought he could bring Alicia back the moment he found her. Little did he expect Clement to start

chasing him out of the house with a stick the moment the latter returned home.

"Don't hit him, Grandpa. I fell for him first, and I was the one who wanted a relationship with him..."

Alicia didn't expect Clement to have such a big reaction.

When she saw Clement was about to hit Aaron, she ignored the fact that she was pregnant and immediately rushed

toward Aaron to shield him from the stick.

"Alicia!" Clement was enraged when he saw Alicia protecting Aaron.

While pretending to not care about the baby in her stomach, he swung the stick toward her.

Aaron was startled when he saw that. He then swiftly stepped forward and pulled Alicia into his embrace. In the

end, he was struck on the back. Although the pain caused him to let out a muffled groan, he didn't retaliate.

Just a split second earlier, Clement didn't mean to hurt Alicia because, after all, how could he not care about her

baby?

He swung the stick in Alicia's direction to scare her, not expecting Aaron to jump to her protection.

"Aaron..." Alicia's eyes reddened immediately.

"I'm at fault, Grandpa. I didn't take good care of Alicia, and I've disappointed her." Aaron turned around and knelt

before Clement.

"Give me a chance to redeem myself, Grandpa. If you let Alicia marry me, I promise I'll treat her right for the rest

of my life. I'll make sure she'll live a happy life."

Seeing that Aaron was saying all the right words while he was on his knees, Clement snorted.

Does he really think I'm going to believe what he says? I'm not as foolish as Alicia! She believed everything he said!

"Leave. I'll take care of Alicia myself. We don't need you." Clement glared at Aaron and warned, "Leave at once

before I get even angrier."

No one could imagine how angry Clement was when he returned to see Aaron hugging Alicia.

Who would've thought that the person who impregnated Alicia would turn out to be the person I rescued?

Did I bring this upon myself?

At that moment, he was so angry that he was trembling all over. How he wished he could just kill Aaron there and

then.



Alicia noticed how furious Clement was, so she hurriedly walked up to him and grabbed his hand. "Grandpa, Aaron

never said he didn't want me. I left him because I thought I would never be good enough for him. After I left, he

spent months tracking me down. Don't be angry anymore, okay?"

In response, Clement pointed at Alicia and scolded, "What makes you think that? You're pretty, well- behaved, and

smart! Why would you think you don't deserve him?"

"Grandpa, he's the king, and I'm just a commoner. What makes you think I'm deserving of him?" Alicia had tears

welling up in her eyes.

Those words silenced Clement instantaneously.

Who would've known that the person I rescued back then would end up being a king?

He then glanced at Aaron, who was still on his knees, and sighed inwardly.

Alicia's right. She's not good enough for him.

"Get up and don't ever come here again." Despite not being a busybody, Clement knew Aaron was supposed to

marry the country's general's daughter.

Now that's a good match.

"Since I've come all the way here, Grandpa, I don't intend to leave here alone. I came here to bring Alicia back and

marry her. I want her to be my wife and Turlen's queen." As Aaron was finishing his sentence, he threw a gentle

glance at Alicia.
