Chapter 24: My Queen

Watching the two perfect figures dancing together the audience was filled with jealousy, resentment, and envy. Their eyes were glued to them.

Many young masters were also upset their luck to get close to Elizabeth has reduced as Aldrin was contending his sovereignty over Elizabeth.

The young misses of elite families were also filled with resentment.

Due to Aldrin's cold behavior, ruthless manner no one ever dares to approach him but every girl adored him and can die for his one gentle gaze. Those who try to please him with the underhand method were blacklisted by him. So, everyone was surprised to find him taking initiative to dance with Elizabeth.

In the crowd, Zara clutched her glass. 'Why did Aldrin danced with Elizabeth? He was her crush but she knows he hated women and did not approach him on her own accord. She thought to help him silently as he was not within her reach, but what was now...!'

Kevin was no better his opportunity to get near Elizabeth was taken away. He can't even ask Elizabeth why didn't she told her parents that she had someone. Right at this moment, he cannot do anything to the person who snatched her girlfriend. He was the almighty president of the Johnson group, he can only endure for now and squeak a smile to hide his embarrassment.

Laura who has been pestering Liam also stops. She was also captivated by them, 'hmph... what a sh*ew she only depends on her face and identity wait till I dominate you..!' she thought to herself.

Liam saw the chance of Laura stopping in track and have a good chance and flew from her approach instantly. He was annoyed by her pestering if her mother sees this she will likely be misunderstood he can't let that happen.

"You haven't changed at all My Queen. Did you miss me?" Aldrin whispered to Elizabeth's ear despise of the glances.

The hot breath blew inside Elizabeth's ear she shivered.....

Aldrin did not meet her for 12 years. He promised when he left that 'You are my only queen and no one can replace you just wait for me...'

These were the sweetest words he said at that time because he always behave coldly around her and she pesters him in his childhood saying 'handsome brother will you marry me?'

'Ayee... It's so embarrassing thinking now....!'

I thought he should have forgotten it. I have already overcome that feeling believing that it was just a teenage crush. Who doesn't have one and they change from time to time?

She mostly has fear more than love for him now. Because in her previous life he was always being cold and haughty after knowing her relationship with Kevin. She also ignores him and behaves ignorantly in front of him, makes him lose face in every way possible. But at her last moment, he was with her and the love plus gentleness in his eyes cannot be pretentious.

Elizabeth did not answer and he found her in a daze. So he pinched her waist lightly.

"Ouch....!"

"You have not answered me."

"I..... I...." she was blushing.

Before she could say anything the song came to end and she breaks free from his embrace and moves away using the opportunity.

He let her break free. He knows it will take some time for her to adjust to his presence as he had left for so long. He was in no hurry now, he had settled everything and came to make her his wife for sure.

She sighs in relief. But in the next moment, she was astounded.

Aldrin faced the elders and asked, "Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle I would like to pursue Elizabeth if you don't mind."

The elders were all caught off guard by his sudden words. They do not think he will be so straightforward. It was obvious that they will agree why will they not agree with such a good son-in-law and if he loves Elizabeth who can be more delighted than them.

Elizabeth knew that this banquet will raise her pursuer but she did not think that Aldrin will put aside his big ego and directly ask her family for the pursuit. But it's not the right time and she is not ready now.

"I object...!" Elizabeth interrupted before the elders could reply.

"I have asked elders about it...." Aldrin said calmly.

"It is the decision that concerns my life and privacy so the answer should be mine.."

"But you already said that you will agree to your father.."

"I... You..." she was now choked on her words yes she had said herself that so she could only stop.

Seeing that Elizabeth did not have words to refuse he turn to elders again,

"Uncle, grandma, grandpa what do you think?"

Although his voice was as usual cold and indifferent elders can trace the hidden love by their experience. They just want Elizabeth to live happily and far away from hardship it's just a pursuit if they did not like there is always rejection.

"Alright.....!" they replied in unison.

"thankyou.."

The crowd burst into an uproar.
