Chapter 1857 Wedding Gifts
âGrandpa, are you really not coming back with me?â Alicia tore her arm from Aaronâs and approached
Clement to grab his. With reddened eyes, she choked, âI donât want to part with you.â
She could not help but worry about the idea of Clement living alone, especially when he was quite old.
âPlease come with me. Itâs okay if you donât want to live in the palace or the city; Iâll find a house for you
in the suburbs. As long as itâs a place where I can go to anytime when I want to see you,â she said.
Clement studied Alicia, whose eyes were brimming with tears. Iâm her only relative left. I guess itâll be
hard for her to adapt now that sheâs suddenly getting married into the royal family. After pondering for a
while, he agreed and went back with her.
Upon returning, Aaron helped Clement to settle down and hired a housekeeper to take care of the
latter. When that was done, Aaron took Alicia to register their marriage. After getting the long-awaited
marriage certificate, they ended the registration with a passionate kiss.
Aaron then brought her back to the palace and crowned her queen while Celeste took Nancyâs place as
the queenâs mother. Even so, Celeste still stayed in her own palace because the one Nancy stayed in
had been sealed long ago.
Next, Aaron brought Alicia to meet Celeste. Along the way, Alicia could not help but feel worried that
his mother would not like her. Noting her unease, Aaron informed her that Celeste liked her very much.
Only then did Alicia relax a little.
When they arrived at Celesteâs residence, Miranda hurriedly welcomed them in.
The smile on Celesteâs face never faded the moment she saw Aaron helping Alicia in.
âHow far along is the baby? Has the baby been bothering you?â Celeste asked with a bright smile,
which caused Alicia to be relieved.
âFive months. The babyâs all right. It hasnât been bothering me much.â There was a motherly glow on
Aliciaâs face when she talked about her child, and it made Celeste even more pleased with her.
Though Alicia and Aaron were of different backgrounds, Celeste did not mind it as long as the former
loved Aaron. After all, Alicia was pregnant with her grandchild.
âCome. Iâd like to show you something.â Celeste got out of the main seat, walked over to Alicia, and led
the latter to another room.
While walking off, Alicia turned around to look at Aaron for help because she did not know how to
interact with Celeste on her own. However, Aaron merely shrugged helplessly and gestured for Alicia to
follow his mother.
Of course, all that happened in silence.
Soon, Miranda opened the door to another room. The moment Celeste brought Alicia in, the latter was
stunned by what she saw.
One half of the room was filled with clothing for baby boys and girls in various colors. On the other side
were several strollers, a baby cot, and a mountain of toys.
Alicia gawked at the things, too touched to utter a single word.
Seeing Alicia frozen by the door, Aaron made his way over, only to be shocked by the mountain of
things in the room. He never expected Celeste to have prepared everything for the baby so soon.
âThank you, Mother!â Aaron hugged Celeste, who was grinning widely. Right then, she removed the
rosary bead necklace on her neck and helped Alicia to put it on.
Alicia wanted to refuse it but was stopped by Celeste.
âThis was my wedding gift and a blessing from your grandmother. Itâs yours now. Iâm giving it to you as
a blessing for both of you. I hope you and Aaron can live happily for the rest of your lives.â
