Chapter 1607 Canceling The Collaboration
“Sybil said His Majesty did try approaching General Matthew, but he’s still on the fence. It seems that he intends to adopt a neutral stance.” Seeing the puzzlement on Harvey’s face, Lawrence explained to him to give him a clearer picture of Matthew’s standpoint.
Yet, Harvey still thought it was worth a shot.
“Take me to General Matthew. I’ll have a chat with him. If I’m able to change his mind, His Majesty will benefit greatly from his support,” he said while staring at Lawrence.
Lawrence paused for a moment and went deep in thought. I suppose we can give it a shot. There’s nothing to lose even if the discussion falls through. But if everything goes well, His Majesty will gain a strong ally.
Since they had made up their mind, he immediately brought Harvey to visit Matthew. While they were about to leave the living room, they bumped into Kelly and Sonia.
“Father, where are you going?” Sonia could not help but ask Lawrence when she saw he was about to leave the house with Harvey.
Kelly, too, looked at the two men and frowned.
To that day, she still had yet to develop a positive impression of that young man. Alas, she could only keep her thoughts to herself since her husband and daughter were fond of him.
“There’s something we need to attend to right now. You should stay at home and accompany your grandparents. You’ve been away for quite some time, and they missed you dearly,” Lawrence said to Sonia.
He knew his daughter would sneak out of the house had he told her to accompany her mother. That was because Kelly had yet to accept Harvey as her future son-in-law.
Sonia immediately agreed to stay back upon hearing that her grandparents missed her. Still, she was worried about Harvey when she recalled that he was a Chanaean and was unfamiliar with Turlen. Hence, she smiled at Lawrence and said, “Father, Harvey doesn’t know much about our country, so please take good of him.”
At that, Lawrence looked at his daughter. She’s not even married to him, yet her world seems to revolve around this lad.
“I will!” he responded and then left the house with Harvey.
After the two men left, Sonia glanced at the grim-faced Kelly. She could not help but feel uncomfortable when she remembered how her mother insisted on having her abort her child back then. Nevertheless, she could not simply ignore Kelly since the latter was her mother who birthed and raised her.
“Mother, I’m going to keep Grandpa and Grandma company now,” Sonia said and left without waiting for her mother’s reply.
Kelly knew Sonia was dissatisfied with her because of their argument over the abortion and how she had tried to matchmake her with Aaron. Wordlessly, she glanced at her daughter and returned to her room.
Meanwhile, Nico sat on the swing at the Nighy residence with a downhearted expression.
She had been trying to track Vinson’s whereabouts but to no avail.
All of a sudden, she seemed to recall something and immediately made a call.
“What is it?” Aaron, who was at Paelsford Manor, answered her call icily.
Nico was not bothered by his attitude.
“Your Royal Highness, do you have Mr. Knightley’s contact details? I’ve been looking for him in the last couple of days, but I couldn’t find him no matter how hard I tried,” she said and sighed. Her tone was filled with disappointment.
Aaron’s face darkened at the mention of Vinson.
“Our collaboration is canceled from today onward,” he said indifferently.
Upon hearing that, Nico knitted her brows. He’s canceling our collaboration? Why?
She promptly asked, “What do you mean, Aaron? Why are you canceling our collaboration out of nowhere?”
Before Aaron could respond, Nico covered her mouth as though she seemed to have recalled something.
