The next day...Annie gets up, holding her heavy head.
Facing the familiar room and the familiar scenes, she is totally out of her mind about how she got back from the birthday party.
Strangely, she didn"t drink much yesterday. How could she suddenly get drunk like that?
Is it possible that she hasn"t been used to the domestic wine since she just returned home?
She really hopes that she didn"t do anything awful after she got drunk yesterday.
When Annie walks downstairs, Edward beckons her over, "Annie, come here, see who"s here!"
Annie takes a close look and sees her father sitting next to Edward, smiling at her.
"Dad!" Annie runs over in surprise and takes Frank"s arm.
"Dad, aren"t you coming back tomorrow? How come you"re here today?"
Frank answers happily, "The business has finished ahead of time, so I come back earlier."
He had known Annie"s choice after the telephone call yesterday. He can"t wait to return to hear her answer personally and also discuss with Edward about her marriage.
Can he not be worried about the life event of his dearest and favorite little daughter?
"Edward, anyway, thank you for taking care of Annie during my absence. Now that she is already up, I"ll take her back, and we"ll visit you another day!"
When hearing Frank"s going to take Annie back, Jane is surprised at the moment.
She"s not sure whether Annie will choose Aaron or Duke.
In case Annie chooses Aaron...
After she comes back home, they"ll have no chance at all.
They failed yesterday, and Jane always can"t be reconciled.
Therefore, Jane immediately draws a smile on her face and wants to detain them, "Why so quickly? Annie might as well stay here for a few more days. She is getting familiar with Aaron and Duke, and we also like her so much. I"m really a bit reluctant to separate from her."
Frank laughs and says, "Jane, thanks to your love of Annie, but she has lived here for so long. There"s no reason for her to stay here all the time. You can rest a.s.sured that soon I will bring Annie with me to visit you again!"
Edward has known the implication in his words. It"s time for them to discuss the engagement between two families.
Edward smiles back brightly, "Well, I won"t keep you, then!"
When they leave, Edward is also overjoyed.
Whether Annie chooses to marry Aaron or Duke, it can be a happy event for them.
He can"t wait for the day to come.
After Annie leaves their house, Aaron also finds a reason to live back in his private villa.
After all, it makes him feel terrible in front of Jane"s two faces every day.
This day, Dr. William revisits him and examines Aaron.
After the operation, he recovers well and has no side effects.
However, he still can"t remember what happened in the last five years, which also includes the matter of Katrina.
Thinking of Katrina, William sighs unconsciously.
"Aaron, aren"t you too hard on her?"
"On that day, she called me and said she"s not feeling well. When I got there, I found her ill seriously with a cold and a high fever."
William doesn"t name her, but Aaron knows who he"s talking about with his first instinct.
When William mentions it, he then remembers what happened that night.
Well, is that woman stupid?
When he turned down the air-conditioning temperature, did she sleep in the cold all night and make herself sick?
Did she think that he would sympathize with her and be trapped if she played a little trick?
Stop dreaming!
Aaron snorts disdainfully, "She brought the trouble on herself!"
When the picture of her getting herself naked and seducing him appears in his mind, his disdainful feeling becomes stronger.
She should pay the price since she dared to cross the line.
He just punished her a little. Even if she got sick, she deserved it completely.
She dared to strip herself in front of him.
Aaron"s understatement doesn"t contain any guilt at all, as if he doesn"t think his way improperly.
William can"t help gnas.h.i.+ng his teeth in anger, "Aaron, if you"re not my employer, I"ll have to hit you immediately! You are too cold-blooded and cruel to her!"
"I"m not kidding you. She was very ill that day. If I were a few hours late, she might be so feverish and fall into a coma. It would create a serious consequence and even put her in danger!"
"Maybe it doesn"t matter to you to stay under the cold air all night, but she"s too weak to bear it at all. She was pushed down by someone from a higher s.p.a.ce when pregnant with your child. She was badly injured and bleeding heavily when the baby was premature. She almost failed to survive in order to keep the child alive. After the operation, her body became very weak."
When William talks about their past, Aaron can"t help but twist his eyebrows slightly, as if something has touched his heart.
He knows that there seems to be a baby between them.
Nevertheless, he never knows that she once experienced so much.
In this way, he really went too far that night.
Whether he likes her now or not...
Once, after all, she paid and suffered so much for him.
He really shouldn"t be too cruel to her.
Aaron, who is always ruthless, falls into silence for a moment, and finally, he says, "Next time I"ll be careful."
William knows that he has listened to his persuasion when hearing his answer.
He"s unable to restrain his sighing and shakes his head, "I really can"t understand you two! You used to chase her desperately, but now she"s chasing you so desperately."
"To be frank, sometimes when I am thinking of her efforts to meet you all the way here, but she has to endure your difference and disdain, I really want to persuade her to give up on you and go back home."
"After all, you are now totally different from the past. After losing your memory, you are a complete a.s.shole!"
