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 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.
