Chapter 1583 Feelings Can Be Developed
‘‘No!’‘ Melissa objected outright. How can she reject Prince Aaron for a bodyguard? What’s wrong with
her?
‘‘Mother…’‘ Nico threw Melissa a pleading look.
Under normal circumstances, Melissa would have relented whenever Nico gave her that look. But this
time, she steeled her resolve and refused to budge.
‘‘You and Aaron will soon be engaged. So you have to stop this nonsense!’‘ What’s she thinking by
falling for a bodyguard?
Regardless of how exceptional Arielle was, that was to her own credit. Mr. Nightshire is nothing more
than a bodyguard. There’s no way I’m going to allow my daughter to marry someone of his station.
‘‘Mother, I’m being serious.’‘ Nico’s heart skipped a beat when her soft-spoken mother responded so
harshly. Staring at Melissa, she elaborated, ‘‘Let me be honest with you, Aaron doesn’t like me. Both of NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
us have discussed it and agreed to find our own happiness. So can you stop insisting that both of us
get together?’‘
Melissa was filled with disbelief as she looked at Nico.
‘‘What did you say? You met him and even agreed to go your own separate ways?’‘
Nico nodded.
Holding her chest, Melissa felt her knees go weak. In response, Nico quickly helped her mother to a
chair before pouring a glass of water for her.
After drinking some water and calming down, Melissa stared at Nico and was at a loss for words.
It was one thing if Nico’s marriage to Aaron was something she alone looked forward to. Unfortunately,
the matter was equally important to the queen mother and Celeste. Failure of the marriage would
cause major repercussions that she had no idea how to manage.
After deliberating on it for a long time, Melissa concluded, ‘‘You should talk to your father about this. I’m
washing my hands clean of this matter!’‘
Hearing Melissa deferring the decision to Matthew, Nico tucked her head in reflex. Even though she
saw herself as someone who feared nothing, her father still terrified her.
‘‘Mother, I’ll find an opportunity to talk to Father separately. For now, can I go and see Mr. Nightshire?’‘
Her eyes sparkled as she made her request.
Despite the dilemma she felt, Melissa still rejected her daughter. ‘‘It’s already late. You should go
tomorrow if you insist.’‘
Face with her unwavering mother, Nico had no choice but to return to her room.
As for Melissa, she sat in the living room for a long while before she, too, went back to her bedroom.
After taking a shower, she wore a silk nightgown and lay beside Matthew, who subconsciously pulled
her into his arms.
‘‘Darling, when will Nico and Aaron’s marriage be decided?’‘ Melissa asked.
Although the two of them had agreed to find their own happiness, Melissa was of the opinion that they
could still develop feelings after getting married, just like how she and Matthew did it. Both of them only
started to grow on each other after their marriage.
‘‘What’s wrong?’‘ Matthew asked.
He knew his wife like the back of his hand and was aware that she wouldn’t pose such a question
unless something had happened.
‘‘Aaron doesn’t like Nico. So they might not be happy if they get married.’‘ After a brief hesitation,
Melissa finally probed on behalf of Nico.
‘‘They will develop feelings for each other once they’re married. Everything will be fine after that.’‘ While
speaking, Matthew looked down at his wife. At the sight of her gentle expression, he gave his blanket a
tug and lowered his head underneath it.
Meanwhile, Kelly had just laid herself in Lawrence’s arms when his phone suddenly rang. After pushing
her aside to answer, he felt a chill down his spine the moment he heard the contents of the call.
