Chapter 884 My Wife Said She Was Satisfied
When the dance ended, Nora clapped politely.
The dancer left, and Miguel, seeing things hadn't gone as planned, felt annoyed.
He asked Aaron, "Mr. Gordon, did you enjoy the performance I arranged?"
Aaron turned to Nora, "Honey, did you like it?"
Nora nodded. "Yes, I did."
Aaron looked at Miguel and said, "If my wife is happy, then I'm happy."
Miguel's smile froze.
He thought, 'What a show of affection.'
'Is Aaron even a man?'
'He always puts Nora first, practically worshipping her!'
"Mr. Gordon and Dr. Smith are such a loving couple! Cheers to that!"
Tomas raised his glass and drank it all in one go.
Scarlett, standing nearby, noticed the emotion in his voice and clenched her fingers.
No need to say it, Tomas must be thinking of Evelyn.
Tomas's beloved Evelyn had died, so he treated Mateo with extra kindness.
Scarlett's gaze fell on Aaron and Nora, her eyes filled with resentment.
'These two are annoying!'
Nora calmly ate her meal, listening to Tomas and Aaron discuss national affairs, but she felt several gazes on her.
Every time she looked up, she met the eyes of either Scarlett, Miguel, or Rafael.
She had truly become a thorn in their side.
Nora just hoped the ceremony would be over soon so she could go home.
After dinner, Nora and Aaron didn't stay long and returned to their quarters.
"Aaron, were you satisfied with today's dance?" Nora suddenly asked.
Aaron raised an eyebrow and pulled her onto his lap, giving her a kiss.
"Honey, didn't I already answer that during dinner?"
Nora said, "I'm asking you now, don't show off your affection. Were you satisfied or not?"
Aaron nodded. "I suppose I was."
Nora added, "What do you mean?"
Aaron raised an eyebrow and replied, "The music was nice."
Nora was speechless. "That's it?"
"What else?"
Aaron lifted her chin. "Honey, are you asking if the dancers were beautiful?"
Nora was silent.
Aaron knew her too well.
"Then tell me, were the dancers beautiful?"
Aaron sighed, "It seems that women in love can act a bit clueless sometimes."
Nora blinked. "What do you mean, are you calling me stupid?"
Aaron looked helpless. "Honey, how many times do I have to repeat it? In my eyes, there's only you! To me, there's no difference among other women."
Nora couldn't help but laugh; it was indeed stupid of her to ask such a question.
Probably because she was falling more in love with Aaron.
"Honey, did you notice that one of the dancers was trying to seduce you?"
Upon hearing this, Aaron smiled, a hint of mockery in his eyes.
"Those two women, from appearing in the garden to performing in the banquet hall, were probably just a test by the two princes."
Nora raised an eyebrow. "How do you know?"
Aaron coldly smiled. "Who could they fool with such petty tricks?"
Nora blinked. "So at the banquet, you were pretending to be indifferent to make them think you weren't interested in women?"
Aaron played with a strand of her hair and teased, "Honey, you're doing it again. Do I need to repeat it?"
"No need," Nora quickly said.
Aaron smiled. "But I still have to say, I do like women, but only one. Honey, I only love you."
With that, he pushed Nora onto the bed.
Nora laughed. "Stop it, I just ate. My stomach's full."
"Perfect time for some exercise."
"You're making me want to throw up."
"Then let's change the position?"
Meanwhile, in Miguel's quarters...
"Rafael, did you see that? Beautiful women are useless to him," Miguel said.
"Seems like he's not into dancers. Maybe he likes plain women like his wife," Rafael replied.
Miguel squinted. "Should I find someone who looks like his wife to seduce him?"
Rafael said, "Don't rush. First, investigate Aaron's social circle."
Miguel was puzzled. "Why investigate that?"
Rafael's eyes were full of calculation. "A man like Aaron must have many admirers. We just need to pick one to use."
Miguel suddenly understood and gave Rafael a thumbs up.
The next day, Tomas held a press conference in the royal hall with Mateo and Nora.
He announced on the spot that he was adopting Nora as his goddaughter and placed a crown symbolizing her princess status on her head.
At the same time, Mateo explained the issues with the photos and text messages to the public.
Mateo said he did like Nora, but it was a family affection, not romantic love.
The text messages he sent to Nora seemed ambiguous, but they were just playful banter between siblings, not flirting as everyone thought.
He hoped people wouldn't spread false rumors.
Finally, Mateo shifted the focus to a proposal for strengthening the construction of impoverished areas.
Nora stood quietly by, listening to his orderly explanation, feeling quite impressed.
Mateo's final proposal was just a way to divert attention and gain favor.
Because his clarification alone would still leave many doubts.
But by proposing at this moment, his attitude of doing practical things for the people would win a lot of support.
So even if there were some discordant voices, they would be drowned out by the overwhelming support.
After the press conference, there was a strong reaction.
As expected, the support far outweighed the doubts.
A crisis was successfully resolved.
Nora and Aaron took the opportunity to say goodbye.
Tomas was very happy and hoped they would stay with the royal family for a few more days, but Nora refused.
She just wanted to leave quickly.
They had to be careful with every word and action in the Royal family, it was too restrictive.
Seeing their determination to leave, Tomas didn't insist and let Mateo see them off.
Mateo was a bit reluctant to let them leave.
"Nora, can't you and Aaron stay a few more days?"
His brown eyes were deep, filled with too much longing.
At this moment, his feelings for Nora were not just romantic but also a reluctance to part with a family member.
After all, he was alone here.
Nora and Aaron's arrival had given him a sense of family.
Mateo wished they could stay with him for a few more days.
"We have to part eventually, sorry," Aaron said.
Mateo's eyes reddened slightly, but he stubbornly smiled.
"Don't forget you have a brother here when you leave. If you miss me, come visit anytime, the royal gates are always open for you."
Aaron raised his hand and patted Mateo's shoulder. "Take care."
At this moment, Aaron's face was full of sincerity.
He genuinely wished Mateo well.
