Though he was angry, after all, he and Edward have been friends for so many years. He believes that Edward has no idea about it. The sudden appearance of this strange woman has nothing to do with him.Otherwise, Edward couldn"t have kept something so important from the Johnson family.
After all, it"s like a shame that can"t be discussed in public. It"s a family matter that needs to be tackled in private.
If it"s spreading out, the once good news may become a joke in Hadley.
Aaron, Annie, Edward, Frank, and others of the two families, together with Katrina, arrive at the hotel lounge after suspending the engagement ceremony.
Annie asks with a somewhat painful expression, "Who on earth are you? Why do you want to destroy my engagement? What on earth do you want?"
Staring at the red eyes of the girl in front of her, Katrina also feels bad about it.
It"s sad and agony for any girl whose engagement ceremony has been destroyed. It was good at all that this most important event should be destroyed, but she has to stop it.
But from her point of view, Aaron is her man, the father of her baby.
She can"t leave the engagement going on even though she clearly knows it"s just a family marriage.
Therefore, even if she feels sorry for that girl...
She will never regret what she is doing now.
Katrina speaks in a low but firm voice, "I"m sorry. I didn"t mean to hurt you, but I really had an engagement…with Aaron. I can"t live without him, and my baby can"t live without his father."
Everyone present is more stunned by her words.
Annie looks at her incredibly. "What did you say? Baby?"
Katrina nods aggrievedly, "Yes...I have a baby. We have a baby."
When Katrina thinks of her baby, she can"t tell the sadness she"s felt.
At first, the baby was born prematurely and almost failed to survive.
She can remember the hard time when seeing him for the first time curling in a small incubator without signs of life.
She was pitied and lucky enough to escape from the suffering of losing his flesh and blood.
Her baby had a hard time surviving but was then hijacked by her best friend, Farrah, and became almost unable to breathe.
Under her tender care, the baby has been growing up little by little.
But now he has to face the leave of his father who refuses to accept them.
Her baby has really suffered too much since he was born.
She has borne too much pain and sadness.
Astonished by that, Jane m.u.f.fles her mouth in some surprise, "G.o.d! Such a big thing! How come Aaron never mentioned it to us? If you"ve already had a baby, why does Aaron now decide to marry Annie? That may be so embarra.s.sing!"
Jane, though apparently showing a worried face, she"s just deliberately infuriating Annie and her family.
Sure enough, Annie can"t help turning pale at Jane"s words.
Even Frank looks bad after Jane"s comments.
Edward stares at Katrina with some dignity, and his eyes seem cold and solemn, "Can you be sure what you said is true? If I know you told a lie, I won"t let you go so easily!"
Edward firmly regards Annie as his daughter-in-law because of his preconceived thought.
Katrina"s sudden appearance has destroyed the engagement ceremony between Aaron and Annie. It also makes Johnson"s family have a problem with them and makes the two families humiliating in front of the guests.
Edward must question the authenticity of Katrina"s words and the purpose of her visit.
Katrina replies fearlessly, with a firm eye, "Mr. Wilson, if you don"t believe me...We can have a DNA test. But I have a request...Once it is found that the baby is Aaron"s, I must marry him! You have to recognize that I am the daughter-in-law of your family!"
Edward dares not readily agree in front of her determined att.i.tude.
In case what she said is true...
He can"t easily allow her to take the place of Annie.
Sensing the Edward is just half-believing in Katrina, Duke says, "Dad, her accent seems to affirm her being from Abbe City. Aaron had stayed there for more than a year when he relocated his company. Maybe...they were together at that time, but we never knew it?"
At Duke"s words, Edward slightly changes his face.
Duke"s words make sense.
At that time, Aaron did move the company to Abbe City.
But at that time...
He thought that Aaron was only intended for the development of the company, so he didn"t pay much attention to his emotional issues.
If this young lady is really a girl Aaron dated in Abbe, they did never know.
Edward finally looks up at Aaron. "Aaron, everything she said is true?"
Except for Katrina, Aaron is the best person to know the fact.
So now, he just asks him in one sentence if it is true.
Faced with Edward"s question, Aaron doesn"t have any impatient emotions and answers lightly, "I heard from Dr. William about that...she is my ex-fiancée, and we have a child."
While everyone is still wondering about the way, Aaron expressed...
Aaron adds slowly, "Oh, right, a few months ago, I had a craniotomy and lost part of my memory. About what happened between us…sorry, I don"t remember at all."
In a word, Aaron puts his responsibility on the line.
Everyone present is shocked.
"Lost memory?"
Jane and Duke don"t react much since they know about it.
Edward can hardly retrieve his surprising jaw.
No wonder he always feels that Aaron"s changed his character a lot when he came back again.
It turns out that he has forgotten the past.
Whether it is true, as the woman said, Aaron doesn"t know at all.
At this time, it is still impossible to come to a conclusion only by her one-sided words.
Edward ordered directly, "Duke, find Randy and Dr. William right away!"
Randy follows close to Aaron throughout the day, including the time in Abbe.
William is Aaron"s private doctor.
They absolutely know the fact!
