Until then, Aaron"s face has been getting gloomier and gloomier. Now the corners of his mouth make him look as if he has completed a vastly meaningful and challenging project.He asks earnestly, "Do you like it?"
Aaron wasted so much time and money on this game. As a CEO worth tens of billions of dollars, it"s ridiculous for him to be so proud of finally winning a cheap plush toy.
Katrina is caught off guard by the sudden appearance of the toy.
Knowing how much time, money, and energy Aaron spent to get it, she sees the ordinary toy in a different light. The cheap toy transforms into a valuable treasure. She realized Aaron is such a dignified man that often looks arrogant yet full of determination when doing something.
Katrina nuzzled the toy and nodded. "Yes, of course, I do! I do like it because you exerted a lot of effort to get it,"
The smile on Aaron"s lips widens. As long as he gets her approval, all his hard work is worth it. At one point, he was so upset that he nearly gave in to the urge to break the gla.s.s walls of the machine.
Aaron folds his arms and says slowly, "Shouldn"t you say something to thank me?"
Katrina looks up at him, her eyes full of sincerity. Aaron waits expectantly for her heartfelt grat.i.tude, only to hear her say, "Thank you, Aaron!"
Her tone is indescribably sincere, and she even bows her head slightly.
But upon hearing her words, the smile immediately vanishes from Aaron"s face. "Idiot! Who wants to hear this!"
What"s wrong with Katrina? He didn"t do all this to get a simple "thank you" from her! Didn"t she see what the girl beside them did when her boyfriend won her a doll?
When Aaron glares at her, Katrina gets a confused look on her face. "What more can I say?" She already thanked him, what else does he want? Are her words not sincere enough? She felt annoyed suddenly, but she didn"t dare to show it to him.
Seeing Katrina puzzled, Aaron feels so angry that his head starts to ache.
Katrina is not romantic at all. Why can"t she be more affectionate with him, let alone talk to him sweetly? Aaron is worried that without him, she will never get married.
Aaron grits his teeth and patiently reminds her by asking, "What did that girl say to that boy?"
At Aaron"s question, realization dawns on Katrina.
Whenever the boy won a new doll, the girl lit up and clapped her hands to praise him. She exclaimed things like, "You"re amazing, honey!" or "I love this doll! I love you, honey!" Along with all the sweet words, she occasionally gave the boy a kiss and a hug.
Does Aaron want her to praise him? Since he was so intent on winning the toy for her, Katrina doesn"t have the heart to turn him down. Although saying such disgusting things makes her uncomfortable, she feels like she has to try this time.
After taking a deep breath, Katrina says with a toothy grin, "Aaron, you"re so great!"
Katrina"s entire reaction doesn"t sound like a girlfriend"s encouragement to her boyfriend at all. Her tone and body language make it seem like she is a kindergarten teacher indulging a child.
Aaron immediately gets gooseb.u.mps all over his body. It makes him feel so sick, and he almost hits Katrina in anger.
This woman is hopeless, and this is not what he wants! How could he fall for such an oblivious woman? Why of all the women whom he met this stupid woman make him madly in love?
Aaron looks like he just swallowed a fly. The sight makes Katrina burst into laughter.
As soon as she finishes speaking, she finds her response too melodramatic. She could hardly bear it herself. When she sees Aaron"s face, she a.s.sumes he is thinking the same thing.
Aaron heaves a heavy sigh, a long-suffering look on his face. Since Katrina can"t give him what he wants, he might as well take the initiative.
He points his finger to his face and leans forward for a kiss. Because Katrina is a lot shorter than him, he bends down so he can reach her.
The reason Aaron was so determined to win the toy was to get a kiss for his efforts.
The movement makes Katrina take a step back and shout, "Hey, what the h.e.l.l!" She can express her grat.i.tude by praising him, but a kiss is definitely out of the question.
Aaron shoots her a skeptical look. "I"ve been killing myself over a stupid doll. Don"t I deserve a kiss?"
Considering all of Aaron"s efforts, the doll he gave Katrina is a lot more valuable than the toys the other boy gave his girlfriend. The boy"s girlfriend was so pleased that she actively kissed him as a reward. Even if Katrina doesn"t kiss him, she should at least let him kiss her.
Katrina knows how hard it was for Aaron to get the doll, but she still can"t let him kiss her. Looking down, she mutters, "But you"re not my boyfriend!"
Although the other girl may have been eager to kiss the boy, the two of them were clearly a couple.
But she and Aaron are not in a relations.h.i.+p at all. Katrina refuses to let him kiss her, let alone be receptive to any physical contact from him. She can"t be intimate with a man so casually.
Even though Aaron took her to the arcade to cheer her up after her breakup, she still can"t do this on principle.
Aaron"s eyebrows twitch in anger, his heart filling with disappointment. Despite his attempts at refuting Katrina, he still can"t convince her to be affectionate with him no matter what.
Katrina is right, and she has never accepted him as her boyfriend.
"Well, you"re going to be my girlfriend, anyway. It"s just a matter of time." With that, Aaron grabs the back of her head and kisses Katrina.
