Katrina looks up at Duke, and thanks to him, "Mr. Wilson, thank you for telling me all this."If Duke didn"t come over particularly to tell her the truth about Aaron"s engagement...
She would have no access to the truth all her life and secretly leave away, thinking that Aaron fell in love with another woman.
At least now...
She knows that he only agreed to engage Miss Johnson under duress.
At least now he doesn"t fall in love with another woman.
That means she still has a chance, doesn"t it?
Such deep feelings have infiltrated into her blood and breathing, and she really can"t give it up frankly.
So, this time she has to fight for that for the last time and doesn"t give in easily.
When she was with Marcellus, Aaron also didn"t give up and pursue her persistently.
What Aaron could do, she could do too.
The more she thinks about it, the more Katrina solidifies her idea.
Duke is relieved when Katrina agrees.
With a gentle smile on his face, he says, "I"m only doing it for my brother. By the way, Miss Miller, may I venture to ask you a question?"
"You say."
"Miss Miller, I heard…you and my brother had reached the point of marriage but on the wedding day... Why my elder brother ran away from marriage, and after you found him, why my elder brother refused to recognize you. Have you had any conflict between you two?"
Actually, that"s what Duke has been wondering these days.
Aaron doesn"t seem to be that kind of amorous guy.
What caused him to give up a person completely and be utterly indifferent to her in such a short period of time?
He"s really curious.
Hearing Duke mentions Aaron"s running away from the wedding...Katrina couldn"t help but turn pale.
She bites her lips and finally answers, "We didn"t have a quarrel."
Duke is Aaron"s physiological brother, and he has taken great pains to help her so that she and Aaron can get together again.
So Katrina doesn"t have any wariness in mind to Duke.
She finally tells Duke the truth.
"Aaron, he was sick, he went through an operation and lost part of his memory, so he... didn"t remember me."
Remembering Aaron"s obvious changes in the past and current, Katrina couldn"t help but feel a pang of bitterness.
Before, he made all his efforts to spoil her and was unwilling to let her suffer a little injustice.
Duke couldn"t believe it when he heard Katrina"s words.
"What? Lost his memory?"
He has imagined innumerable possibilities...
But he never thought Aaron would have memory loss.
Although Aaron shows a different personality, he shows no signs of memory loss.
He clearly remembers everyone around him; how can he be said to lose his memory?
After hearing Duke"s surprised tone, Katrina knows that he didn"t know that Aaron was sick and has lost memory.
Yes...
Aaron didn"t even tell her.
She later heard about it from Doctor William.
How could Aaron tell anyone about his memory loss?
Katrina finally explains again, "What he lost is only the memory of the recent years, which will not influence the previous memory."
After hearing Katrina"s explanation, Duke is able to figure it out.
"I see..." he sighs with emotion, nodding his head.
It turns out that Aaron has only lost part of his memory. Aaron still knows all the members of the Wilson family, including the servants who have worked in the Wilson family for several years.
It"s just...
The new servants of the last year or two he might not know.
What Katrina said helps Duke thoroughly understand the reason why Aaron was a bit strange.
Duke, with a sincere look on his face, comforts Katrina, "Miss Miller, you can rest a.s.sured that my brother will remember his memory sooner or later. And one day, you... will really be my sister-in-law."
That"s what Duke does.
Even if he has some other purpose in mind...
However, it will make people unconsciously choose to believe him.
After being asked by Duke for so long...
Katrina still doesn"t notice his ulterior motives but thinks he does that for Aaron and her.
Hearing Duke"s comfort...
Katrina raises her lips slightly, "Thanks."
In the first half-hour...
She was also determined to give up and leave Aaron.
But after half an hour...
She has changed her mind and decided to stay.
"Miss Miller, where do you live? I"ll take you back."
After coming out of the cafe, Duke graciously helps Katrina with her suitcase and drives her back to her place of residence.
When they arrive at the door of the hotel, Duke tenderly hands Katrina her luggage and says in a soft voice, "Miss Miller, have a good rest. You can rest a.s.sured, no matter what happens in the engagement ceremony of my brother and Miss Johnson... I am firmly on your side!"
After hearing Duke"s words, Katrina feels warm and soft in this strange city.
She couldn"t thank Duke enough for supporting her and Aaron.
Katrina expresses her thanks again.
"Thank you, Mr. Wilson."
Duke"s handsome face lights up with a smile, "Maybe we"ll be family again. Don"t be so polite."
After seeing Duke off...
Katrina turns around, goes to the front desk, takes out her credentials, and books a room again.
Just then, the two men who are responsible for taking care of her come over and ask her with fear, "Miss Miller, where have you been?"
"We heard that you have checked out and looked for you everywhere but couldn"t find you. Your phone has been turned off; we thought whether you had an accident, which scared us so much."
"Finally, we have found you if you happen to matter, even if our death cannot explain to your grandfather!"
The two men express their worries one by one.
These days, they can clearly feel that Katrina is in a bad mood.
She went to the mall, and they followed her.
She went to the amus.e.m.e.nt park, and they also followed her.
In a word, they followed her through many places of Hadley city in the past two days, afraid that she might suddenly do some silly things. If something really happened, they would not be able to bear the responsibility.
Who knows...?
This morning, when they went to look for her again, they found that she had checked out.
Both of them were nearly anxious about death at that moment.
Luckily now they have found Miss Miller.
As long as she stands here safely, they could rest easy.
