A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 1807

Chapter 1807Clement hurled the stick at the floor and slapped himself out of guilt. Alicia felt her heart wrench at the
sight and kneeled before her grandfather, begging him to stop hurting himself.
No matter how Clement pressed on, Alicia just would not tell him who the father of the child was. Alicia
then told Clement that she would keep the child when he asked about her plans.
Clement disagreed with her decision but relented when she kneeled before him and cried. He would
not let her do any household chores and asked her to take a good rest in the meantime.
novelbin“Grandpa, why are you making stew again?”
Alicia smiled at the sight of the stew that Clement served.
Her grandfather had come up with various recipes to make her good food every day. As a result, she
had grown plumper. She reckoned that even Aaron would have trouble recognizing her right then.
Her mood took a downturn at the thought of Aaron. Alicia placed her hand gently on her belly as she
missed the man dearly.
Aaron, I will give birth to the child and raise him properly. Don’t worry about us and be a good king.
Alicia talked to herself as she looked out the window.
“You’re pregnant, child. You have to take some good food, of course,” Clement said.
He was upset that his granddaughter had gotten pregnant out of the blue and refused to tell him who
the father was. Not only that, Alicia even insisted on keeping the child.
Clement was worried about Alicia’s future if she decided to keep the baby.
Huh… What will become of her?If he were still alive then, Clement knew he could somehow help her out. However, he could not help
but wonder how Alicia would get by when he was gone.
How does a young and unmarried girl with a child survive on her own?
Clement would get dejected whenever he was overwhelmed by those thoughts. How he wished he
could live longer so that he could help shoulder her burden.
“Thank you, Grandpa!” Alicia smiled. “You’re the best!”
Clement eyed his granddaughter with a wry smile.
You’re my granddaughter, child.
After all, Clement was the closest kin that Alicia had in the whole world. As for Alicia’s father, Clement
would rather think that he was already dead.

On the other end, Vinson was finally done dealing with the matters at hand.
The retraction of capital by those companies had plunged his company into a crisis. Even though he
directed capital from his other assets, he was still obviously short. With Arielle’s card, Vinson could
finally take a breather from his troubles.
Arielle and Aaron were both engrossed in toying with their phones.
Vinson got up and said, “Let’s go and eat.”
So soon?I don’t feel like I’ve done much at all?
Arielle then looked at the time and realized that it was already half past eleven.
She hurriedly said to Aaron, “Let’s go. I’m going to treat you to a good meal.”
Then, she took her bag and headed right out of the office while the two men behind smiled as they
watched her rush out of the door.
When they were heading to the restaurant, they gave Susanne a call and told her about Aaron.
Initially, Susanne did not wish to impose on Arielle and Vinson’s date. However, when she heard that
Arielle’s younger brother would be there too, she immediately agreed to join them. After all, it was her
first time meeting Arielle’s relative.
After reaching the restaurant, Susanne realized that Arielle’s younger brother was the foreigner who
agreed to transfer ownership of his shares unconditionally to Vinson and grew even more fond of
Aaron.
Susanne chatted animatedly with Aaron throughout the whole time and inadvertently left out Arielle and
Vinson. She even tagged along as they sent Aaron to the airport.
The three of them had only left the airport after Aaron’s plane took off.
Susanne headed back home to take a rest while Arielle went to Moore Group. As for Vinson, there was
a dark look on his face when he got back to the office.
