    Chapter 1668 Do Not Cry


    “What happened to me?” Alicia asked as she massaged her temples.


    Marianna nced at her before leaning forward to whisper something in her ear. At once, Alicia’s eyes


    widened in disbelief as her hand flew to her belly. I’m pregnant with Aaron’s child? How can that be?


    She recalled how she had fainted a while ago.


    “Marianna, is His Majesty going to get engaged soon?” Alicia asked softly.


    Marianna knew nothing about her rtionship with Aaron, so she nodded.


    “Yes. The pce has already released an announcement.” Marianna arched a brow. “The king is

    getting a fiancée at a young age. They might be getting married soon. He and the daughter of General


    Matthew look like the perfect couple. They are a match made in heaven since they have simr


    backgrounds.”


    The more Marianna spoke, the paler Alicia’s face became.


    She bit her lip and felt her heart ached as though it had been pricked with needles.


    A match made in heaven, huh? Everyone must think the same way. The more she thought about them,


    the more upset she got, and tears began to stream down her cheeks endlessly.


    Shocked, Marianna asked, “What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”


    Shaking her head, Alicia sat up from the bed. “Please help excuse me from ss. I want to head back


    home to get some rest.”


    Marianna nodded, for it didn’t seem that Alicia could continue attending sses for the day.


    Instead of returning to her grandfather’s house, Alicia went to the apartment she shared with Aaron.


    She nced at the apartment she had painstakingly decorated and felt as if someone had stabbed her


    heart with a knife.


    Brushing her hand across the little decors bought to decorate the apartment, she was reminded of the


    time she had spent with Aaron here.


    “Aaron, I used to think that I won’t leave you even after you get married as long as you allow me to stay


    by your side. s, I can’t even take it anymore when you’re only getting engaged,” she muttered under


    her breath as tears rolled down her cheeks.


    She had thought she could share Aaron with another woman, but it was the opposite.


    Sobbing quietly, she entered their bedroom and buried herself under the covers. Hugging the covers,


    she took in the scent unique to Aaron.


    After having lunch with Celeste, Aaron busied himself with work. It was muchter when he learned


    that the news of his engagement with Nico had spread throughout Turlen. His brows knitted together as


    he wondered if Alicia had seen it, too.


    He grabbed his phone and drove to the apartment to wait for Alicia’s return. To his surprise, he opened


    the door and saw her shoes at the entrance.


    He nced at his watch and frowned. She’s back this early.


    Then he took his shoes and coat off before hanging his coat on the rack. After taking one look at the


    empty house, he headed to the bedroom, opened the door, and saw Alicia sleeping with the covers in


    her arms.


    He halted in his tracks, then tiptoed into the bedroom and shut the door softly. He went to the bed and


    bent down to get a good look at Alicia. Noticing that the corners of her eyes were wet, he patted her


    cheek tenderly.


    Alicia’s eyes snapped open when his palmnded on her cheek. Tears escaped her eyes when she


    saw the man standing before the bed.


    “Aaron!” she called out and sat up in bed. Throwing herself into his arms, she took a sniff of his familiar


    scent.


    Aaron had no idea how to console her. He patted her head and said gruffly, “Don’t cry.”
