The atmosphere in the car gets heavier and heavier.Sensing danger approaching, Katrina turns to see Aaron looking darkly at her, his gaze fixed on the roses in her arms.
Seeing Aaron like this makes Katrina panic.
What is wrong with Aaron? Why does he suddenly look so terrible?
What is he planning to do? He can"t seriously want to kill her, can he?
She didn"t say or do anything!
Aaron"s character is very frightening.
The car comes to a screeching halt by the curb.
Trembling with the flowers in her arms, Katrina doesn"t have time to react. Her body moves forward along with the sudden movement.
Luckily, she doesn"t get hurt because of the seat belt, but she"s extremely scared.
As the car stops, Aaron pushes the door open and gets out of the car. He walks around to the pa.s.senger seat and opens the door.
Having Aaron standing beside her feels extremely oppressive to Katrina. Like a kitten, she hugs the roses in her arms tightly and shrinks into a ball. Her eyes are filled with fear. "Aaron, what are you doing!" she screeches.
Why is there a murderous look in his eyes?
Without a word, Aaron pulls the roses out of her arms and throws them into a roadside garbage bin. His quick movement is so smooth, it looks like flowing water.
With that, he closes the door firmly, returns to the driver"s seat, and drives away.
Aaron can"t bear to see Katrina holding flowers from another man in her arms. He feels much better now that the flowers are out of his sight.
Before Katrina has time to react, the roses are already in the trash.
Apparently, Aaron wasn"t upset with her, but with the flowers in her arms. He was glaring at the bouquet.
This b.a.s.t.a.r.d!
What right does he have to throw away her flowers!
Marcellus gave them to her! It was a symbol of his kindness!
How could he throw Marcellus"s gift into the rubbish bin!
He always does things like this!
He never respects her thoughts or considers her feelings!
He just does what he likes and takes action according to his own wishes!
In the face of Aaron"s actions, Katrina suddenly becomes annoyed. She demands angrily, "Aaron! Why did you throw away my flowers?"
Aaron replies calmly, "I don"t like you receiving flowers from other men."
What kind of reason is that?
Why should she obey all his wishes and do what he likes?
Aaron"s response makes Katrina angrier. "It"s my business who I want to receive flowers from. Those were mine! You can"t make decisions for me! Why did you throw them away!"
As Katrina bares her teeth and claws like an irate kitten, Aaron"s eyebrows furrow in concern.
He just threw away her flowers. Why is she so mad?
Was the bouquet of flowers given by an important man?
Does she like that man?
Originally, he didn"t have plans of settling things with her in the car. But now, he has to ask and clear things up.
Aaron turns to her with a serious look in his eyes. "Who gave you the flowers? Did he confess to you? Did you accept?"
Though Aaron didn"t have time to see Katrina directly, he secretly sent someone to investigate her. Comforted with the fact that she wasn"t close to any man, he could focus on his business and leave her alone for so long.
The sight of Katrina holding a bouquet of roses in her arms earlier caught him off guard.
"None of your business!" Katrina replies without a second thought.
Since she"s unwilling to tell him, Aaron won"t pester her. Instead, he puts on his Bluetooth earphone and calls out, "Investigate who sent Katrina flowers today."
Katrina feels embarra.s.sed and helpless to see Aaron investigate her personal affairs with no scruples. She wants to pounce on him in rage.
He is going too far!
How dare he investigate her in her presence!
Katrina is afraid that Aaron will find out that Marcellus gave her the flowers and that he will confront Marcellus and make trouble for him.
They could get into a fight. Aaron might do something bad to Marcellus. The consequences are unimaginable.
Finally, Katrina says, "Fine! A guy confessed to me! But I didn"t promise him anything!"
Upon hearing her words, Aaron"s face relaxes a bit. He doesn"t look murderous anymore. He reaches out and touches her head. "I believe you."
Aaron knows that there"s a man who has been pursuing Katrina. The flowers in her arms must have been given by the same man.
Knowing that she didn"t say yes to the man puts Aaron"s mind at ease.
He hopes that she won"t accept flowers from other men in the future.
The car stops at the entrance of the city"s largest flower shop.
Aaron gets out first. He walks to the pa.s.senger seat, unbuckles Katrina"s seat belt, and pulls her out of the car.
Reeling from the series of changes on Aaron"s face, Katrina is unable to react immediately. By the time she snaps out of her daze, she is already inside a beautiful flower shop, facing a clerk who greets her politely, "Sir, lady, what can I do for you?"
Aaron replies, "Bring out the most expensive and beautiful flowers in your shop."
As soon as the clerk sees Aaron"s attire, speech, and manner, she realizes that he must be a rich and powerful man. She immediately brings out the best flowers in the store.
The bouquet she presents is definitely the best in the shop.
Aaron looks at it in satisfaction. He immediately pays by card and gives the bouquet to Katrina. "Here."
The bouquet is much more beautiful than the one she had earlier.
Katrina is caught off guard when Aaron shoves the flowers into her arms. She doesn"t think that she could afford it even if she sells herself. Afraid of dropping it, she has to accept it against her will.
The bouquet is so big, and it is taller than Katrina. With the flowers in her arms, she can only see her legs. The rest is fully obscured, and she can"t see a thing.
Speechless, Katrina carries the bouquet in silence.
After paying the bill, Aaron comes over and wraps his arm around her shoulder. "Do you like it?"
If Katrina wants flowers, she can only accept flowers given by him. He gave her the best and most beautiful flowers in the shop. She must be pleased.
At Aaron"s question, Katrina can"t help twitching her mouth and gritting her teeth in displeasure. "Aaron! You lunatic!"
How could Aaron be so childis.h.!.+
He threw away the flowers Marcellus gave her, only to buy a bigger and more beautiful arrangement for her.
He doesn"t even consider how difficult it is for her to carry such a huge bouquet. Her arms are about to break from the heavyweight!
