A sudden kiss…It is really difficult for Katrina to protect herself against Aaron"s advances. He always takes her by surprise.
She hurriedly pushes the door open to get out of the car.
Suddenly, Aaron reminds, "The flowers."
Looking at the huge bouquet in the back seat gives Katrina a little headache. "I"m too tired to carry them."
She intended to leave the flowers in the car and make Aaron take them back. He can do what he likes with them. She doesn"t want them anyway.
Unexpectedly, Aaron gets out of the car. "I can bring it upstairs for you."
Katrina definitely knows Aaron"s character.
She is no match for his shamelessness.
If she lets him go upstairs, she will be alone with him in her small apartment. She can"t imagine what he will do to her.
If something happens, she can"t run away.
Katrina is not foolish enough to let him go upstairs. After weighing her options several times, she finally turns around and drags the bouquet from the back seat of the car, hugging it tightly and heading home.
As Aaron watches Katrina"s retreating figure, his phone rings.
When Aaron takes out the phone and answers the call, William"s shouts can be heard at the other end of the line.
"Aaron, are you still pursuing your girl? Don"t you want to cure your disease? If something happens to you, don"t tell anyone that I"m your private doctor! You"ll ruin my reputation!"
Hearing William"s roar, Aaron frowns slightly and moves the phone away from his ear.
Yes, William had warned him that his brain nerves have eroded due to prolonged insomnia, and he needs surgery to cure it.
Until he undergoes the operation, to keep the disease from recurring, he needs regular acupuncture treatment.
But since he came to Abbe City, he has been busy with work and social engagements and thinking about how to deal with Katrina. Despite William"s repeated urging, he keeps delaying his treatment.
Now that his company is somehow stable and he has finally talked to Katrina, it is time to think about his health.
Aaron"s face is expressionless as he says, "There"s still some work left in Hadley City. I"ll be back tomorrow morning."
Hearing an affirmative answer from Aaron, William slowly calms down. He mutters a few words and hangs up.
William has never encountered a person like Aaron. To pursue a girl, he will work himself to the bone and completely ignore his health.
As a doctor, it"s very tiring for him to urge Aaron to take care of himself constantly.
It takes Katrina a long time to drag the big bouquet of flowers home.
Placing the bouquet on the table, she bends over and gasps for breath. Then she goes to the window, opens the curtains, and looks down.
Meanwhile, Aaron is hanging up the phone. His eyes sweep over Katrina"s apartment.
Katrina doesn"t know if Aaron sees her. But when he looks up, she suddenly becomes nervous, and she hides behind the curtains for fear of being discovered.
Fortunately, Aaron doesn"t stay much longer. He drives away and disappears from view.
Aaron"s sudden appearance makes Katrina fall into chaos and trouble all at once.
Earlier today, Marcellus confessed his love to her. She still doesn"t know how to respond to him.
To make things more complicated, Aaron suddenly appears.
Katrina is so frustrated, and she feels like she is about to explode.
From Aaron"s words, it seems that he won"t give her up so easily. Does that mean she will see him more often?
She only wants to live a peaceful life. Why is this happening to her?
"This is terrible!"
Lying on the bed, Katrina kneads her hair restlessly. She is visibly upset.
On the one hand, she is fond of Marcellus"s tenderness and thoughtfulness. She even feels inclined to say yes to him.
But Aaron"s appearance is, no doubt, a reminder of what happened in Hadley City.
Although she was unwilling at that time, she still slept with another man.
All she wants to do is to forget the unbearable past. She doesn"t expect that Aaron will refuse to give up and come to Abbe City to find her.
Marcellus, on the one hand, and Aaron on the other…
Being involved with two men makes Katrina hate herself.
What can she do now?
Between Marcellus and Aaron, she"s definitely more inclined towards Marcellus.
Marcellus has a gentle personality. For so many years, he always has by her side, taking care of her in every aspect. But because of Sophie, she did everything to avoid him.
And Aaron?
Domineering and indifferent, he always ignores her wishes and forces her to do things she doesn"t want to do. She is anxious to remove him from her life.
But if she says yes to Marcellus, Sophie won"t let her go easily.
And Aaron probably won"t let her go either.
To be with her, he moved his entire company to Abbe City. If she gets together with Marcellus, Aaron will not only retaliate against her but also against Marcellus.
Sophie is enough to give her a headache. Now, a more dangerous factor enters the situation, Aaron. Because of these external factors, Katrina and Marcellus are bound to be apart.
Katrina appreciates Marcellus"s kindness to her. But she can"t get him into trouble.
Before Katrina kneads her hair into a bird"s nest, she gets a call from Farrah.
Katrina takes a deep breath to calm down before she answers the phone. "h.e.l.lo, Farrah."
Hearing Katrina"s slightly hoa.r.s.e voice, Farrah begins to worry. "What"s wrong, Katrina? Your voice seems off. Are you okay?"
"I must be a little tired from work today."
Well, her weary heart is definitely exhausted.
"All right! Have a good rest tonight!" Farrah pauses for a moment before lowering her voice. "By the way, Katrina, I called to tell you that Mr. Quentin"s p.e.n.i.s has been st.i.tched up in surgery. But the medical expert in the hospital says that it won"t have the s.e.xual function anymore. Mr. Quentin decided to go abroad to receive more advanced treatment..."
Hearing Farrah gossip on the phone reminds Katrina of what Aaron told her during dinner.
The reason Melvin ended up like this is her. Aaron took vengeance against him for her.
For Farrah, the news of a young famous bachelor"s p.e.n.i.s being cut off is worth gossiping about. She would probably never imagine that her best friend is the reason that the man ended up like this.
