“That’s impossible!” Neil said without any hesitation.
He looked at Victoria coldly as if his gaze could cut.
Victoria’s smile was unfazed. This was the effect she wanted. The angrier Neil was, it proved that the more he
would not trust Aurelia. This way, she would be able to come in between them.
“Neil, our uncle has taught us that we can’t judge a book by its cover since we were kids!” Victoria said softly, “You
haven’t spent much time with Ms. Chilton, and you got to know each other in Chaiseland. How could you be so
sure?
“Besides, even if she does end up together with the owner’s son, it’s her private life. You have no right to stop her.”
Neil turned away, looking annoyed.
Victoria continued. “Neil, we aren’t promised to each other, but my uncle has repeatedly mentioned it to General
Harris. He didn’t agree to it but didn’t reject it either!”
“What are you trying to say, Your Highness?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Don’t worry.” Victoria consoled, “If you don’t want to be with me, I won’t pester you either. I’m a princess, after all.
I can’t lose my manners.”
Neil was stunned. This was the second thing he heard today that made him doubt his ears—the first was what
Victoria had said about getting Aurelia citizenship.
Both these things came from the same woman!
He frowned and was skeptical but kept up a cool front.
“Your Highness, you really think so?”
“You don’t believe me?” Victoria chuckled. “Am I usually so brazen that all of you think I’m that arrogant?”
Neil did not reply.
“If I’ve made you misunderstand in the past, I apologize.” Victoria looked at him and sounded sincere. “You know it,
Neil. Women have a high status here in Southeast Aciatic. I was pampered growing up, so I inevitably have flaws…
Let me apologize if I’ve offended you, okay?”
“Your Highness, there’s no need!”
Neil was caught at a loss.
Since returning to Southeast Aciatic, he knew he could not avoid Victoria. He had to meet her sooner or later. He
had also rehearsed what he should say and how he should act multiple times if she were to put him in a difficult
position.
He simply did not expect that their meeting would turn out like this.
Neil narrowed his eyes at Victoria. Was he overthinking it? Was he losing his mind from being an idol celebrity that
he had narcissism or paranoia?
Maybe Victoria was not like he had imagined… She wanted the throne and had to curry favors with the major
families.
Neil breathed out, silent for a long time.
“Alright, none of this matters now.” Victoria began to reel the line in, seeing that her fish had taken the bait. “What’s
important is Ms. Chilton’s immigration status and university admission! What do you think about my suggestion of
her coming to the palace with me?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“If you don’t mind her going to the palace, it’s a good future for her,” Neil answered honestly.
Victoria frowned intentionally. “Ms. Chilton’s engagement…”
“She won’t be engaged!” Neil raised his voice subconsciously.
Victoria chuckled. “I think you should clear that up first. If she’s engaged, she can’t work in the palace according to
the rules!”
It was noon when Neil returned to the tailor shop.
Southeast Aciatic was close to the tropics, so the sun was unforgivingly hot. If one were to stand under the sun now,
the sunburn would shed a layer of skin off them!
The way Victoria had talked about the engagement and the owner’s sons made it sound like they were real. This
disgruntled Neil very much.
In addition to being under the sun, his fair skin was now turning pink. His handsome face, which had been taken
care of by various skincare products due to camera appearances, was currently red and throbbing from the heat.
Neil was unable to stand the torture.
He marched his way to the tailor shop. His mood had been bad, and he had been walking under the sun all day.
Now that he entered the shop, he was greeted by Aurelia patching up a shirt seriously, embroidering a rose where
the collar was worn out…
