Katrina"s nose collides so hard into Aaron"s chest that she gets tears in her eyes. She felt a sharp pain awakening her senses. Aaron catches her in time to break her fall, but she falls face down into the water and chokes for a while. She immediately spits out the soapy water with a grimace. Her eyes are red from the soap, getting into her eyes, and her face was twisted in misery.
Katrina was entirely drenched. She wanted to slap Aaron hard to take her revenge on him; however, she suppressed her emotion.
The moment she looks up, and Aaron sees her pathetic state, he can"t help laughing.
Her face and hair are covered in bubbles. "She looks like a drenched kitten!"
The reaction makes her glare. "This b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Does he have any sympathy at all? I can"t believe he"s laughing at me! He is laughing at me while looking at my awkward situation!"
"If he hadn"t suddenly stood up like that, this wouldn"t have happened! This is all his fault! But instead of apologizing, he has the nerve to laugh! This shameless b.a.s.t.a.r.d! I want to choke him to death!" she silently curses Aaron.
Seeing her eyes flash with resentment, Aaron rubs her hair in fondness. He has petted Katrina like a drenched kitten. He isn"t laughing because he finds pleasure in her pain. "She looks so lovely. Despite her awkward situation, she still looks attractive. She doesn"t even know how cute she looks right now. G.o.d, I love her so much. I really want her to be my wife!"
He asks lightly, "Are you hurt?"
"What do you think?" Her voice was full of sarcasm, and she can"t hide her annoyance. For her, this time, Aaron looks like a devil, who knows nothing but to humiliate her.
"Does she blame me for this?" He wonders with a smirk. "If I hadn"t caught her, she would be choking on the bathwater, and she would hit her head against the tub!"
"This is completely your fault. Who told you to put so much soap in the bathtub?" He scolds her. He can"t voice out his admiration towards her as he was afraid she"d misunderstood him.
Katrina grits her teeth and snaps back, "That was the only way I could let myself help you take a bath! I don"t want to see you naked! This is not something I enjoy! Aaron, I hope you understand that I am a conservative type of person. I clearly understand why you tricked me into signing that stupid contract,"
She shoves at Aaron and moves out of his arms. When she tries to stand up, she almost slips and falls again. But she grabs the edge of the bathtub in time.
Aaron also grabs her arm, ignoring the pang of pain in his heart at her honesty. "She still doesn"t like me. She hated me so much. Why is it so hard to make her fall for me?" he thinks wearily.
Fortunately, Katrina didn"t get in another accident. But it quickly becomes apparent that she can"t make sudden movements.
"Your clothes are already wet. Why not just join me and bathe together?"
Katrina"s eyes sweep to her chest, and she sees that her thin pajamas have gone transparent. Her underwear is clearly visible as if she isn"t even wearing pajamas. Suddenly she regretted why she was wearing thin pajamas. She also regretted why she even went into the bathroom to help him.
Her face turns pale, and she moves to cover her chest in panic. But without her hold on the bathtub, she starts to slip again.
Aaron couldn"t help teasing Katrina earlier, but he doesn"t want her to fall down again. He magnanimously turns away and waves her off casually. "I won"t look. Hold onto something and walk out slowly. Take your time and be careful. I"m sorry I didn"t mean to hurt you," He added.
Hearing Aaron"s apology Katrina shoots him a suspicious look. "When did this pervert become so kind? Did his apology come from his heart? Is he really not going to take advantage of me?"
When Aaron stays true to his word and keeps his eyes away from her, Katrina gradually calms down. She moves through the bathroom with her hand transferring from the edge of the bathtub to the wall. Then she reaches for the sink and makes her way to the doorstep, leaving Aaron immediately.
As soon as Katrina leaves, Aaron steps out of the bathtub. After soaking for so long, the water has turned cold. He regretted his harsh action because he heard her accusation. "Ugh, Aaron, you are so stupid. Why did you act like a pervert man again in front of her?" He silently scolded himself.
Although making Katrina help him take a bath had unexpected results, he still regretted the result. "As long as I"m with her, I have a better chance to make her fall for me. Aaron, just endure it!"
After Aaron changes into his pajamas and comes out of the bathroom, he finds that Katrina has returned to the room and has locked the door for good measure. When he knocks on the door, he hears her m.u.f.fled voice respond, "Go to sleep! Don"t bother me!"
"Your hair is still wet. Get up and dry it before you sleep!" he calls back. Whether she"s embarra.s.sed or not, I can"t let her sleep with wet hair. If she gets sick, she"s going to suffer later.
Hearing no movement inside, Aaron continues to knock on the door. "Hurry up! Stop fussing, I didn"t see anything!" he says, his tone unconsciously softening.
In the room, Katrina is bundled up in her blanket, and resolutely ignores Aaron.
Since Aaron started living in her apartment, she started dressing differently. She usually just sleeps in her pajamas, but now she also wears underwear as additional protection.
Even though Aaron didn"t see anything because of her foresight, the same was not the case for her.
I saw everything! Ugh, I hate this! I can"t get it out of my mind! How am I supposed to face him now?
