Her words stunned the people like a bolt from the blue, and the entire hall erupted into an uproar.
They never thought that the beautiful and graceful woman on stage was already married, let alone married
Nightshire Group's chairman, Vinson Nightshire. Those who had brought their children along were feeling regretful
about not approaching her earlier.
Right as Susanne was done with her speech, Vinson walked up the stage with two bouquets of flowers. After
hugging Susanne and handing her the bouquet of carnations, he strode toward Arielle. As the people watched on
with envy in their eyes, he placed the fiery red roses in Arielle's arms and gave her a quick hug.
Arielle never expected Susanne to announce her identity at her birthday party. After a moment of shock, Arielle
curled her lips. She then held Susanne and Vinson's hands before stepping down the stage.

What happened next was up to the hotel, who provided a band and some performances.

At Turlen, after much effort, Aaron finally received news about Alicia.
Immediately after handing over what was on hand to Lawrence, he went with Morrison to the island to look for her.
Just as he arrived outside the wooden house, he found his courage fleeing him, for he spotted the visibly pregnant
Alicia hunching over and keeping the herbs away.
She's pregnant? She's pregnant but she ran off?
At that very moment, the desperate urge to capture the woman and hit her buttocks surged into Aaron's mind.
How could she be so ruthless to leave no words behind before vanishing from my world?
I had to look for her for months!
Perhaps it was because his gaze was too intense, for Alicia could not help but turn around. Right as she saw the

familiar face, her eyes reddened. Her basket fell noisily, and the herbs scattered all over the ground.
In the next second, she bent over to pick the basket up, but Aaron was quicker than her. His eyes had been fixed on
Alicia, so upon seeing her basket fall, he hastily walked toward her.
"Don't move! I'll do it!"
With that said, Aaron picked the herbs up from the ground to put them back into the basket before putting the
basket on the rack. Once he was done, he looked back at Alicia.
"Why did you leave without saying anything?" he hoarsely asked.
Alicia kept her gaze lowered as she pursed her lips in silence. However, tears welled up in her eyes and fell.
How dare you cry? Do you think that I'll be upset to see you cry?

Yet, when he lifted her jaw and looked at her bunny-like eyes, his heart softened.
He wanted to pull her into his arms, but her large stomach dismissed that plan of his; he was afraid that he would
push too hard on her stomach. Thus, he let go of her jaw and crouched down.
As he gently put his hand on her stomach, he lifted his head and said, "It must be tough for you to be pregnant."
Alicia, whose eyes were still red, shook her head. Whenever she thought about how the baby was her child with
Aaron, the challenges she had to face would suddenly seem trivial. Instead, bliss was what she would feel.
Aaron stood up and lowered his head to look at her. "Come back with me..."
Alicia shook her head. Even though she missed him a lot, she could not return with him.
At the sight of her shaking head, at her refusing to return with him, Aaron narrowed his eyes. "Why won't you come
back with me?"
"Why are you being so annoying? I've already decided to leave your world, so why did you still come?"
