At Edward"s command, Duke immediately contacts Dr. William and Randy.Half an hour later...
William and Randy arrive.
In the past few days, Randy went back to his hometown and dealt with some family affairs.
He just came back this morning.
When Randy notices Katrina, he is surprised, "Miss Miller, why are you here? When did you come?"
This is the first time he has seen Katrina since he returned to Hadley City.
Edward has frowned by his reaction before Katrina answers, "Randy, do you know her? Who is this woman?"
Randy faces Edward and responds respectfully, "Yes, I know her."
They"re more than knowing but even familiar with each other.
After all, Katrina had lived in Mr. Wilson"s villa for so long that she could be said to be the villa"s hostess.
Edward looks at Randy with dignity in his deep eyes and asks, "Randy, I want you to tell me what the relations.h.i.+p is between this woman and Aaron!"
Randy used to work for Edward when he was young. Edward naturally trusts him very much.
Since that, Aaron said he had no recollection of the past.
So he can only get confirmation from Randy about whether her acclaim is true or not. He needs to know the truth.
Seeing the situation at hand, Randy can"t help feeling a little embarra.s.sed.
On the one side is Frank, who has been friends with Edward for decades, accompanied by his lovely daughter Annie.
On the other hand is Katrina, who was Aaron"s favorite woman before he lost his memory.
It seems to Aaron that it"s none of his business.
But he must be cautious about his words.
In any word, it is possible to hurt someone.
Randy ponders his tone and finally talks about the relations.h.i.+p between Katrina and Aaron.
Randy"s speech is the same as Katrina"s. He revealed the past relations.h.i.+p Aaron had with Katrina.
Even William can testify that every word Katrina says is true.
At this time, Edward has no excuse to doubt at all.
Although he"s extremely unwilling to believe it, that"s the truth.
This fact not only shocks Edward but also shocks the Johnsons.
It came like a bolt from the blue.
When she knows that the man she loves at first sight once had a wife, and they even had a child, Annie becomes more frozen, and her tears unconsciously come out of her eyes.
How can he do this to her?
Before this woman appeared, she felt that she was the happiest woman in the world and could be engaged to a man she loved.
But now she feels particularly upset.
She can only feel that the man beside her is so far away from her, belonging to her at all.
She doesn"t know what she should do to get him.
Seeing Annie"s tears, Frank is distressed and anxious.
The Johnsons are more or less a big family.
It was a great pleasure for her daughter to be engaged to Edward"s young and promising son.
But now he hasn"t settled his former love affairs. He has not only a wife but a son.
Now, does Aaron want his daughter to marry him to become a stepmother? This is unacceptable on his part.
Even if they enjoy a profoundly harmonious relations.h.i.+p, he can"t bear the humiliation.
Frank finally grabs Annie"s arm and pulls her out. He gasps out of anger, "Annie, let"s go! You can"t marry him! You can"t engage with him!"
His precious daughter can marry a man more competent and more talented. They don"t need to stick to Aaron.
Although it is an agreement of more than twenty years, Aaron and Edward have broken the promise first. It"s no wonder that he chooses to break the contract.
Seeing Frank pull Annie away angrily, Edward is trapped into an awkward situation, so he follows hurriedly and apologizes, "Frank! Frank! I really don"t know that he had a wife. It"s my fault that I haven"t made a clear investigation. I apologize to you. We can make our friends.h.i.+p destroyed by this"
"I don"t care whether you know it or not! I can"t let my daughter suffer from the grievance!"
Frank doesn"t turn around, and finally leaves with Annie.
The absence of the bride finally terminates the engagement ceremony.
An admirable marriage ends up like a joke.
Both of them lost their faces before the guests, but Frank now has a prejudice against them.
At this moment, Edward can"t speak of depression and annoyance.
He doesn"t know he should vent his anger on Aaron"s absurdity or Katrina"s sudden appearance. In a word, he is in a bad mood now.
Compared with Edward"s anxiety and depression, Jane and Duke are secretly relieved.
The appearance of this woman really destroys the engagement ceremony of Aaron and Annie.
Now, how can Frank possibly marry his daughter to a man with a secret child?
So Duke"s chances of marrying Annie are even greater.
Edward is so angry that he keeps walking around and finally turns around and points at Katrina and orders, "You all go out, except you!"
Afraid of his anger, others walk out obediently for fear of enraging him.
Katrina is stunned for a moment, somewhat at a loss.
Her eyes follow Aaron in panic, trying to keep him staying.
After all, it"s the first time she meets Aaron"s father.
After all, she feels that her presence makes Frank a little angry.
She is now a little afraid and timid to face the serious Frank alone.
However, Aaron has clearly received the signal from her eyes and seen her nervousness and uneasiness, but he doesn"t say anything, not even a worried look.
It seems as if all this had nothing to do with him as if she was not for him to muster so much courage to destroy the engagement.
The moment seeing him leave, Katrina is caught by loss and despair.
What if she broke Aaron"s engagement with another woman?
She and Aaron can"t return to the past.
He"s still so indifferent to her.
He doesn"t like that woman...
Likewise, he doesn"t like her.
