William"s voice is still in the air...A pair of dark eyes full of dangerous feeling has been fixed on him.
William shuts his mouth in time.
Although from the standpoint of a bystander, he sympathizes with Katrina and sees Aaron as an a.s.shole, Aaron is his employer, and if he talks too much, he tends to burn himself up.
William puts away his medical kit and says, "Anyway, depending on you. I won"t say too much. By the way, I have to advise you that don"t regret when you bully her away before restoring your memory."
After he finishes his words, he takes his medicine box and leaves in a hurry.
Aaron left behind is more depressed now.
What on earth should he do with that woman?
He gets tired of her wandering around in front of him every day.
But he can"t either beat or scold her and also can"t be rude to her since everyone thinks he is cruel to her.
Even he feels a little unbearable of his behavior when knowing their past.
By this time, he doesn"t know what to do.
Just when Aaron feels helpless, the telephone is ringing suddenly.
Aaron picks up the phone. His father, Edward, is calling.
As soon as Aaron answers the phone, Edward"s radiant voice comes from the other end, "Aaron, come back home tonight, I have something important to announce!"
Aaron has to agree.
There is "something important to announce..."
It"s probably Duke and Annie"s engagement.
In fact, the reason for Annie"s visit is known to all.
Jane and Duke were so eager to woo Annie, just for the sake of inheritance.
Even if his father announces Duke and Annie"s marriage tonight, he won"t be surprised.
When it comes to the right of inheritance, he doesn"t care about it at all.
Only Jane and Duke regard it extremely important.
If he really wants to grab the family"s wealth, he wouldn"t move out so early.
At least, he won"t sacrifice his marriage with a woman he doesn"t like for Wilson"s property.
In the evening, Aaron returns to Wilson"s house as scheduled.
Edward shows a radiant face with indescribable pleasure.
Jane and Duke, on the contrary, don"t seem as happy as he thought.
Of course, no one knows what Frank talked to Edward in the study when he visited this morning.
However, when Frank left, Edward even hummed a song.
They know Edward will definitely announce the marriage between the two families this evening.
Jane and Duke always feel a little uneasy because they don"t know Annie"s final choice.
On the table, Edward takes the lead in raising his goblet, "Come on! Let"s celebrate first! Soon, Frank"s precious daughter will be our daughter-in-law!"
Everyone follows him, and Jane tries to raise a smile, "Really? That"s great! I really like Annie. If she marries into our family, it can be a blessing for us. So, Edward, Annie chooses Aaron or Duke?"
Edward takes a sip and puts down his goblet, "I thought since Annie was with Duke every day, she would certainly choose Duke. I didn"t expect that...Frank came to me today and said that Annie had a crush on Aaron! I thought Frank had made a mistake at first, but it"s true! So, today I talked with Frank about Aaron and Annie"s marriage, and the engagement ceremony is scheduled at the beginning of next month."
After he finishes his announcement, everyone is amazed.
Jane and Duke are in incredible feelings all over the face.
They have done so much, being so active to catch up with Annie.
In the end, her choice is Aaron?
Aaron even twists his eyebrows unconsciously.
Marriage?
Engagement?
He never thought Annie would choose him.
However, when Edward announces it, he isn"t happy at all but is rather unable to express his rejection and disgust.
Edward"s still immersed in joy and doesn"t notice Aaron"s difference. He keeps exhorting Aaron, "Aaron, make full preparation. Although the engagement isn"t as grand as the marriage, we can"t do it carelessly."
However, before he completes his words, Aaron stands up and says, "I don"t agree!"
Edward is shocked at what he said, "What did you say?"
Word by word, Aaron speaks again, "I said, I don"t agree with this engagement. I won"t marry a woman I don"t like. I will never attend the engagement ceremony, whether you change the bride or cancel it. I"m not involved in it!"
After he says, he turns around and is ready to leave.
But Edward pats the table out of anger and stands up, "d.a.m.ned! This is my agreement with Frank 20 years ago! You can"t refuse it! You"re the son of the Wilsons. You must unconditionally accept this engagement!"
Edward has always been a stubborn and committed person.
More than twenty years ago, he made the agreement with Frank that he certainly can"t default.
Frank came to him in person to discuss the engagement. The date of engagement has been chosen. But Aaron says he refuses it?
Edward can"t compromise so easily.
Hearing Edward"s words, Aaron looks slightly sideways, and his voice is indifferent, "That"s your agreement. It has nothing to do with me! If I have to accept this kind of engagement as a member of the Wilsons, I choose not to surname Wilson!"
After Aaron says this, he strides away without turning back.
This may be the reason why there are often gaps and contradictions between their father and son.
Aaron always has his own opinions, while Edward is conservative and always likes to impose his own ideas on others.
Watching Aaron walk away directly, Edward is shaking with anger, "Aaron! If you dare to walk out of this door today, you can never come back! I should have no son like you!"
Aaron laughs slightly with scorn when hearing this.
To threaten him by breaking up their relations.h.i.+p?
If he has to be forced into such an arranged engagement, he would rather break off the relations.h.i.+p with the Wilsons.
Anyway, over the years, he has lived in his private villa.
There"s no difference whether he is in the house.
