Memories Of The Night

Just now, the conversation with Edward, though only a few minutes, seems to drain all her strength. She felt exhausted and wanted to return back to her hometown immediately.

At this time, her legs become weak; alone, facing Aaron"s father gives her an impulse to cry.

She"s wanted to find a warm shoulder to lean on. Someone who she can share her burden with, but no one was there.

However, the man who cared for and loved her most has already disappeared at this time.

Even if she has made so many efforts and sacrifices for them to be together again and been constantly humiliated by words, he doesn"t care about her at all.

Not even a single one of care and comfort. She had been dumped by Aaron"s.

At this time, she has been tired, almost out of breath.

She"s really afraid that one day she can"t be able to stand any struggle.

Just then, a clean, slender hand, holding a bottle of unscrewed vitamin beverage, gives it to her.

At that moment, Katrina thought Aaron was back.

She was lost to extreme depression, but it again ignited a spark of beating fire...

But when she looks up, she finds Aaron"s brother, Duke, standing in front of her.

Duke looks at her gently, with a touch of concern in his voice, and asks, "You don"t look very well. Have a drink. I don"t want to ask you what does my father had told you because I don"t want to add up another burden to you,"

The small flame beating in Katrina"s eyes goes out in an instant.

It"s him.

Katrina takes Duke"s drink, "Thank you."

Duke pats her on the shoulder and comforts her, "Don"t be sad, my father is a little stubborn. It"ll be fine after it pa.s.ses. About Aaron, don"t be too anxious. He will think of you sooner or later. Never give up. Besides, you"ve successfully prevented him from getting engaged to another woman, haven"t you?

Hearing Duke"s comfort and enlightenment, Katrina feels a little better.

That"s right...

Although she has experienced a lot of loss and unhappiness today, at least it"s a success to prevent Aaron"s engagement.

Katrina"s heart full of loss and hurt instantly rekindles a ray of hope and strength.

Right, it"s hard for her to get to the present point. She can"t easily give up!

Katrina"s pale face then restores a little vitality. Duke smiles at her, and the gentleman says gracefully, "Come on, I"ll send you back."

Katrina nods and says, "Thank you, Duke."

Although she feels a little embarra.s.sed for troubling him, she really has no spare energy to take the taxi.

At the saddest and lowest moment, she really appreciates someone who can comfort her like this by her side.

They"re born of a father, but Duke is like a spring breeze.

And Aaron is as cold as an iceberg.

A few minutes later...

Katrina follows Duke out of the hotel.

Duke points to the opposite of the road and says, "My car is over there. Come on, cross the road."

Katrina follows his steps and walks across the street together.

Just then, a car suddenly pa.s.ses fast in front of them.

Seeing Katrina walking with her head buried, Duke quickly grasps Katrina"s arm and pulls her back with great force, "Be careful!"

Being pulled back all of a sudden, Katrina falls directly into Duke"s arms.

She only feels a strong wind whistling behind her, blowing her skirt.

A few seconds later, the gale disappears before Duke lets her go.

Duke speaks with some embarra.s.sment, "Sorry, I was abrupt. A car rushed over and almost hit you. I hope you don"t mind."

Hearing Duke"s apology, Katrina shakes her head lightly with a lingering palpitation, "Never mind. Thank you for saving me."

Compared with her life, it"s nothing to be carelessly embraced by him.

What"s more, he didn"t mean it. How can she blame him?

And right now...

Aaron, who"s sitting alone smoking in his car, catches Katrina and Duke coming out of the hotel together.

Seeing Duke holding Katrina, suddenly there"s sharp pain through his eyes, and his mood becomes somewhat unhappy.

Oh, Duke has such a good relations.h.i.+p with this woman.

It can"t just be a coincidence that this woman appeared at his engagement ceremony today. Someone deliberately makes it.

The culprit behind this must be Jane and Duke.

Aaron clearly doesn"t like Katrina.

But now catching this scene, he still feels particularly uncomfortable.

Maybe it"s because he knows Duke has an ulterior motive to approach her.

Anyway, he doesn"t want the woman he liked before to get too close to Duke and to be deceived too badly by them.

At last, Aaron gets out of the car and strides in the direction of Katrina and Duke.

"Come on."

When Duke leads Katrina to his car and pulls the door for her.

Katrina"s just going to step in.

Suddenly, she feels her arm pulled by a big force.

Katrina turns around, only to find Aaron standing there with an indifferent face, young and handsome, as cool and charming as ever.

She didn"t expect to see Aaron at this time.

At that moment, Katrina can"t express her surprise, "Aaron?"

Duke looks up and smiles. "Aaron, you"re here. I"m just going to send Katrina back."

Duke"s voice is still in the air, and Aaron interrupts coldly, "Don"t bother!"

Then he turns to Katrina, "Follow me."

After that, he pulls Katrina in the direction of his car without saying anything else.

Katrina is pulled heavily and nearly falls on him.

Aaron walks in long steps.

Katrina trots all the way to keep up with him.

She thought he was gone, but he"s still here.

Although she doesn"t know where he wants to take her to, she enjoys being with him.

Grabbed by him, she can feel a sense of warmth and fullness.

Her lost mood is rescued.

Coming to his car, Aaron stuffs Katrina indirectly. Then, Aaron says in an overbearing and indifferent voice, holding the door with one hand, "Don"t get too close to Duke!"
