When only Edward and Katrina are left in the room...The atmosphere becomes somewhat dull for a moment, and even the air seems to be solidified. It"s so quiet that their breathing can be heard.
Katrina grabs her skirt and bites her lips nervously and uneasily.
She can sense Edward"s hostility towards her.
The first meeting with Aaron"s father is in such an environment and in such an unpleasant way.
Actually, she doesn"t want to do that, but it"s really because of the urgent situation. She came to inform Aaron"s father that he had been engaged to her.
If she doesn"t appear at this critical time, Aaron really becomes the husband of another woman.
A long time later, when Katrina can feel her back stiffen because of nervousness, Edward finally speaks.
"Say it! What"s your purpose for Aaron?"
If he remembers correctly, just now, he heard about Aaron"s situation from William that his son had an operation a few months ago, lost part of his memory, and forgot this woman.
And from Aaron"s att.i.tude toward this woman, he can"t feel that Aaron does like her.
In this way, the woman came to destroy their engagement. Edward is definitely suspicious of her purpose.
Asked by Edward, Katrina finally raised her head.
She looks at Edward earnestly and firmly, "I came to Aaron because I love him. He is the father of my child! Our child stay at my family,"
"Love?"
Edward snorts, "But you may also feel that he doesn"t love you."
These words, like a sharp blade, plunge into Katrina"s heart and make her hurt badly. She wanted to cry, but this is not the right time to do it.
Soon, however, she answers in a low voice, "It isn"t that he doesn"t love me. He just forgets me for a while. I believe he will remember me sooner or later. He will fall in love with me again."
Edward is more aggressive, "If he never remembers you?"
Every word Edward says seems like a terrible nightmare to Katrina.
How can Aaron never remember her?
She doesn"t want him to look at her coldly forever, and she doesn"t want it!
Katrina closes her eyes painfully and shakes her head. "No! He used to love me so much...He will remember it!"
Seeing Katrina indulge in her beautiful fantasy and can"t extricate herself, Edward finally snorts and says, "Not to mention whether he can remember you…even if Aaron really remembers you, I will not recognize you as my daughter-in-law, nor will you be allowed to enter the door of my family, so you"d better give up now!"
Hurt by Edward"s words, Katrina is like being suddenly suffocated.
She looks incredibly at the old man in front of her, Aaron"s father.
At this time, her heart was in total panic. Anxiety rolled her mind.
Her lips move slightly, but for a long time, she asks with a painful feeling, "Why? What did I do wrong? Why do you do this to me?"
Edward"s tone is firmer, "There"s no reason! Because I don"t like you!"
To her great shock, Katrina is so uncomfortable that her body is shaking uncontrollably.
At this time, her situation is particularly difficult.
She came to Hadley City, thinking she could be back with Aaron.
But she never thought about these difficulties.
Aaron is indifferent to her. Even Aaron"s father tells her frankly that he won"t accept her.
At this moment, she is extremely helpless and in pain.
Suffering so much indifference and cold treatment, she really can"t bear it.
Even if their engagement is ruined, Annie has her father supporting her.
But what about her...She stands there alone.
No one supports her. No one comforts her.
Keeping silent for a long time, Katrina finally takes a deep breath and says in a sincere voice, "Mr. Wilson, why don"t you...try to accept me. You may find that I"m not as bad as you think when you get familiar with me. Our baby is adorable. After all, he"s your grandson too. You really don"t want to recognize him or see him at all?"
If possible, she really wants Aaron"s family to accept her and recognize her.
Even though she has endured great disrespect, she"s struggling for it.
However, Edward recognizes Annie as his daughter-in-law.
The appearance of Katrina ruins the engagement. Edward is in a bad mood and denies it without thinking twice, "It"s just Aaron"s illegitimate son. I"m not interested!"
Illegitimate?
Katrina"s heart is as painful as being pulled by a sudden stimulation.
She was pregnant for nine months and gave birth to the baby with great difficulties.
However, his grandpa even humiliates him like that?
Katrina is a mother, after all.
She can endure any humiliation toward her.
But when it comes to her baby...
She"s like an angry lion, trying her best to protect her baby.
Katrina"s tone hardens directly, "Since you have said it clearly, I also tell you that we don"t need your love and recognition at all. As long as Aaron can like me, that"s enough. If you have nothing else to say, I"m going now."
Katrina finishes around and leaves.
Edward meant to say a few hard words to get Katrina away from Aaron.
But he never thought that she was so persistent.
Edward bursts out in anger in an instant, "You! Stop! Okay, how much money do you really want to leave Aaron?"
"Money?"
Katrina stops when she catches the word.
"I think you may have misunderstood. I came to Hadley for Aaron, not for money. I just don"t want to lose him, and I don"t want my child to lose his father. If you can really get rid of me by using money...I think Aaron should have succeeded long ago."
Actually, when she first came to him, he tried to cast off her with money.
Are all men of this family the same? Do they like to handle everything with money?
He didn"t expect Katrina to be stubborn.
So many ways he has tried, she is still unwavering in pursuing Aaron.
By this time, Edward is frustrated beyond words, and for a moment, he is too angry to say nothing more.
