Seeing her red eyes and tears...Hearing her say that she won"t disturb him anymore...
Aaron doesn"t know why his heart is like being pulled by an unknown hand. It"s something of unspeakable complexity.
Isn"t that his purpose?
During this time, she lingers around him like a ghost and pesters him.
He can"t wait to get rid of her as soon as possible.
But why, instead of being relieved, his mood becomes a little heavier?
Well, maybe it"s because, for the first time, a woman can be as persistent as she is.
So when he sees her sad tears, he feels a little sympathy for her.
Her abandonment, for both of them, is a good thing.
He doesn"t like her at all.
He thinks that it"s hard for him to be really interested in a woman in his life.
Even if she"s the woman he loved before, now and in the future, he can"t guarantee that he will fall in love with her again.
Even if he agrees to be with her for the sake of the past feeling, she will get tired with a man who doesn"t love her at all.
In that case, why do they bother each other?
At the thought of this, Aaron firms his determination.
Aaron fixes his cold black eyes on Katrina; he says casually, "Thank you. If you need help, I can ask my secretary to book your flight back to Abbe."
Hearing Aaron"s words, Katrina again endures the tears that almost burst into her eyes with a self-mocking smile rising from her lips.
What"s that?
The last concern before farewell?
Is he so impatient to want her to leave, so impatient to want her back to Abbe?
Is he so worried that she"ll destroy his new relations.h.i.+p with his girlfriend?
No, she"s not just a girlfriend. She"s going to be his fiancée.
Another woman eventually replaces her position in his mind.
She thought she would be loved by him all her life.
She never antic.i.p.ated their relations.h.i.+p would change.
Today, he is the most familiar stranger for her.
Katrina closes her eyes painfully and shakes her head, and her voice becomes more hoa.r.s.e and dryer, "No, I can go back by myself."
After saying this, she turns her head slowly and walks out, step by step.
By this time, she should probably drop the idea forever.
Maybe she should give up completely.
But why did everything happen when she was with him still so clear in her mind?
In the past, he said he loved her very much.
He even proposed to her in front of her father"s grave, promising to take care of her for life.
However, all the vows are just blandishments.
Aaron stares so deeply at Katrina"s departure.
For the first time, he finds out that the woman in front of him has such a pet.i.te figure. She seems to fall carelessly.
As she approaches the door, Katrina suddenly stops.
She dares not look back. She"s afraid that she can"t help jumping over and hugging and telling him that she loves him and will never let him go.
She"s afraid when looking back that she will see his cold face and cold eyes.
Her affection, love, and perseverance are as lowly and pitiful as a joker in front of him.
Just in order to keep her last bit of self-esteem, she doesn"t want him to regard her as a tiresome woman and feel disgusted before she leaves.
"Aaron, goodbye."
Katrina finishes the sentence in a low voice and finally opens the door and leaves in a hurry.
Tears pour out again. She finally cries into tears.
Katrina buries her head and walks out of the elevator.
She"s going to run out...
Suddenly she b.u.mps into a stranger"s arms.
Katrina looks up unconsciously and sees a handsome young face.
When the man sees her red eyes, he"s obviously astonished. Then he asks with some worry, "Are you alright? Do you need any help?"
She doesn"t want strangers to see her awkward look.
Katrina quickly lowers her eyes. She shakes her head slightly, bypa.s.ses the man, and runs out in a hurry.
The unexpected scene makes the receptionist stunned.
She comes up quickly and explains, "Mr. Duke, the woman went into Mr. Aaron"s office crazily just now but without an appointment. She"s probably driven out by Mr. Aaron. She"s been pestering him for a long time. Please don"t mind."
Hearing the words of the receptionist and seeing Katrina leaving in a hurry...
Duke is deep in thought.
Running out of Aaron"s office while crying?
What does she have to do with Aaron?
That woman looks familiar. He"s definitely seen her somewhere!
A few minutes later...
Duke comes to Aaron"s office.
Aaron"s already a little upset at this time, so he naturally shows no kind look when he catches the sight of Duke.
Aaron takes a glance at Duke coldly and asks, "What are you coming for?"
Although they are brothers with the same father, Aaron and Duke are never close to each other. On the contrary, there is a kind of hostility.
Faced with Aaron"s indifference, Duke doesn"t show his annoyance. With a gentle smile on his face, he says, "Aaron, Father asked me to persuade you…about the engagement with Annie."
Aaron shows a sneer of disdain by that.
"Really? Isn"t what your mother and son expect my refusal to engage with Annie?"
If he agrees to engage her, Jane and Duke may be more anxious like ants on a hot pot.
Duke still smiles. "That"s what you said, but I still have to follow Father"s orders. It"s your business whether you accept the marriage or not. It"s my business, whether I come to persuade you or not."
Aaron extremely hates the hypocrisy of Duke.
He is disgusted and says coldly, "You can go back and tell Father I don"t agree with the marriage."
Duke looked happy: "Brother, you can rest a.s.sured that your heart, I will convey it to my father."
Aaron then points to the door, "Have you finished yet? If you"re done, get out of here!"
"Well, if you are busy, I won"t disturb you now."
After Duke"s leaving, Aaron blackens his face and calls the front desk. His voice sounds more annoyed, "You don"t need to come for work tomorrow!"
Why did she allow everybody in?
What on earth is she doing at the front desk?
What"s the use of keeping her here?
Hearing the order, the receptionist becomes panicked.
"Mr. Wilson…I…"
It"s her fault that she didn"t stop that woman and allowed her to break in. She admitted.
But she just allowed his brother in. Why did he get angrier and even dismiss her?
