Chapter 1806 Cannot Do It
He decided to present them with another gift on their wedding day as he deemed the twenty percent shares not enough. "If you insist, I will accept it," Arielle said. She knew how stubborn Aaron was.
He would be furious if she did not accept the gift. Hence, she decided to just give him a big wedding gift in the future. Aaron was pleased when Arielle finally relented.
"Since Aaron does not wish to accept this card, then throw the money into the company. Blacklist those who retracted their capital and never collaborate with them again," Arielle said. She could understand them not helping her out in her time of need, but she would not tolerate those who tried to add insult to injury.
Vinson's company needed the money. Hence, he did not decline and accepted it readily. However, he also made a mental note to transfer his assets to Arielle after resolving the crisis as his betrothal gift to her. As the two of them were back safely, Aaron did not wish to overstay his welcome. After all, there was so much work to be done in Turlen. With that, Aaron got up and bade goodbye to them both. "Sannie, Vin, since the two of you are back, I don't think it's necessary for me to stay here anymore. I've decided to head back home. Even though the queen mother is remanded, I have yet to deal with her remaining forces. Besides, there is the matter of human organ trafficking too. I'm going to deal with all of them when I go back to Turlen this time."
Vinson tried to persuade him to stay and said, "Why don't you stay for a meal first?"
"Yeah. Eat with us before you leave," Arielle added. "Don't you like my cooking? Follow us back home and I'll make something for you. I don't know when am I going to see you again once you head back to Turlen," Arielle said wryly.
As the supreme head of state, Aaron was a busy man. Arielle had a lot on her plate as well. She had not finished filming the previous movie. Initially, she thought of asking Sam to look for another actress in her stead. However, he put the filming on hold indefinitely and insisted on waiting for her to return to the set to resume the filming. Sam even intended to get the Wilhelms back and open up a traditional Chanaean medicine shop.
Hence, she would not have the time to go visit Aaron in Turlen, not at least until after she was done dealing with the matters at hand anyway.
Aaron agreed to join them for dinner after listening to what she said. In the coming year, it was plausible that they would not be able to meet each other. Hence, he had better seize the chance to spend more time with his sister.
Though Aaron was fond of Arielle's cooking, he did not wish to trouble her. After all, Aaron reckoned she needed more rest after being submerged in seawater for many hours the day before.
"We can just have a meal together at a restaurant. I'm also in a hurry as well. It's going to take a long time for you to prepare the meal anyway," Aaron said with a smile.
Arielle agreed with him. Even with the housekeeper's help, she would still take a longer time to prepare the food. It would be wiser to take Aaron to Maureen's Kitchen instead.
"All right. We're going there right after Vin is done with his work. I'm going to call the restaurant to make a reservation," Arielle said. Then, she proceeded to order Aaron's favorite dishes.
Aaron nodded and sat on the sofa. He took out his phone and texted his subordinates to ask them to continue looking for Alicia. Aaron was starting to get worried as they had been looking for her for quite some time, and still, there were no signs of her.
Meanwhile, Alicia's belly was already starting to show. Her grandfather, Clement, was infuriated when he first knew about her pregnancy. He was so furious that he wanted to hit her with a stick. However, he could not bring himself to do it in the end.
