Memories Of The Night

Even if Katrina wants to believe that Aaron keeps badgering her because he loves her, also if she believes that he doesn"t want to hurt her…

From her experience with Marcellus, she now knows that people who belong in different cla.s.ses are not meant to be. It"s difficult for a poor orphan to be with someone from the upper cla.s.s.

Katrina knows herself well, and she doesn"t want to face this situation again. She doesn"t want to be abandoned like a toy after investing herself in a relations.h.i.+p.

Besides, she doesn"t need to have a rich or capable boyfriend. He may be just an ordinary employee, with a steady monthly salary. Even if he didn"t give her a luxurious life, as long as he treats her well, as long as they love each other, it would be enough.

They can motivate each other to work hard and support each other through everything. They will save money to buy a house and pay the mortgage. They will create their own family and strive for a better life. They can even get pets and have a garden in their backyard.

And they will do all of these together. They can be happy together every day, without any worries or anxieties.

Their love will not be opposed by anyone. No one will secretly question their compatibility. This is the kind of love Katrina wants.

A superior man like Aaron is definitely not her choice. She already learned her lesson from her relations.h.i.+p with Marcellus. She doesn"t want to get hurt again.

Aaron"s ident.i.ty and background are both more prominent than Marcellus"s. She doesn"t want to cause any unnecessary trouble.

Aaron knows what Katrina means. She doesn"t think she fits with a person of his background because Marcellus"s mother doesn"t accept her. She belittles herself and thinks that she doesn"t deserve to be with him. She firmly believes that nothing can happen between them.

Does she think all his devotion to her is only superficial? If all he wants is a casual fling, he could have forced her to sleep with him through other means.

He wants to grow old with Katrina. He wants her to like him, depend on him, and stand by him willingly. That"s why he went through so much effort and changed so much.

But after everything, she doesn"t believe his seriousness at all.

Aaron doesn"t say anything as he releases her. He steps on the gas and turns the car around before Katrina can leave.

Katrina watches Aaron helplessly while he drives without telling her where they are going. Right now, he looks particularly gloomy. She is afraid that he will do something bad to her in his anger. She asks warily, "Aaron, where are we going?"

Aaron keeps his eyes on the road ahead. "Civil Affairs Bureau."

Taken aback by the answer, Katrina exclaims, "Aaron, you"re crazy!"

Aaron slams on the brakes and whirls around to stare into her eyes seriously. "I"m not crazy! Stop telling me over and over again what kind of woman I deserve, I can see clearly my own heart! You are the woman I want!

"I"m serious about being with you. I want to marry you and grow old with you. This is not a casual fling for me. If you don"t believe I"ll marry you, we can get our marriage certificate right now!

"You can rest a.s.sured that after we are registered, I will have a lawyer convert all my property into joint owners.h.i.+p between us. A divorce will cost a lot, and I will never divorce you!

"Besides, my mother has already pa.s.sed away. As long as I"m here, no one will dare to oppose our marriage, and no one will dare to speak ill of you. I will take care of you. I will not let anyone hurt you!"

Marcellus may not have the ability to protect her, but it doesn"t mean that Aaron doesn"t. He doesn"t need anyone to approve of Katrina. As long as he loves her, that"s enough. Everyone else"s opinion is just garbage.

Aaron"s words silence Katrina. In any case, she never expects him to promise to marry her and share half of his property with her. Hearing about his mother"s death is also a surprise. The knowledge makes her feel a little bad for him.

Aaron looks very serious. It doesn"t seem like he is lying. Given his character, Katrina knows that he doesn"t need to deceive her by b.u.t.tering her up with false promises.

Even though she has a deep prejudice against Aaron because of their history, Katrina is shocked to hear a man make such a commitment to her. Aaron must be crazy…

After a long silence, Katrina finally manages to respond. She rubs her temple and says, "Aaron, I"m really tired. I want to go home and rest. Can you let me out of the car?"

Katrina doesn"t know how to deal with him sensibly. In any case, she absolutely does not want to marry him right now.

She just ended a relations.h.i.+p and broke up with Marcellus yesterday. Now Aaron wants to take her to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate to prove his sincerity. What kind of woman does he take her for?

She is not the kind of woman who can jump from one relations.h.i.+p to another. She needs time to calm down and recover from the hurt and stress of breaking up with Marcellus.

Aaron is really impulsive for wanting to take her to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate and make her his legal wife.

But Katrina would never do something so abruptly. She doesn"t even like Aaron. Her current feelings for him are neutral at best.

Aaron doesn"t say a word and unlocks the door, letting Katrina get off the car.

Katrina looks really tired right now, and her voice is hoa.r.s.e. Seeing her so weak is unbearable to Aaron. He also realizes that he inadvertently insulted her in his determination to prove his sincerity to her. He has no choice but to let her go home to have a good rest.

Besides, the coming days will be far.

Now that Katrina has broken up with Marcellus, he doesn"t have to worry about her dating other men constantly. He can give her time to move on and get over her last relations.h.i.+p. He has time to pursue her later.

Katrina can only become his woman. Aaron will not give her another chance to be with other men.
