Katrina is stunned at the moment.So is he upset when he sees her with Duke?
Although Aaron"s tone is domineering, Katrina"s heart is full of sweetness.
Does it mean that he has begun to care about her since he doesn"t like her getting too close to other men?
He is jealous.
When she gets this recognition, Katrina"s mood becomes sunny in an instant. She smiles and nods her head shyly, promising very obediently, "All right! I won"t come close to him anymore."
As long as he cares about her...
As long as he can be with her…
She will promise him whatever he says.
Later, she will obey him as long as he can remember her.
Aaron frowns when he notices Katrina"s shyness.
Has she misunderstood his meaning? What a self-sentimental and silly woman!
He just doesn"t want her to be used by Duke.
Even today, Duke uses her to destroy the engagement ceremony between Aaron and Annie, which is a good thing for Aaron.
But one day, Duke may think of any other way to use her against Aaron.
Aaron doesn"t want her to be in deep trouble one day. In that case, he may have to try to save her.
But Katrina mistakenly thinks that Aaron still has affection for her?
He really wants to throw her out so that her childish thoughts can be interrupted.
But he"s afraid of her being taken advantage of by Duke again. Aaron wipes his lips and finally says nothing. Turning around, he gets into the car. Looking ahead, he asks, "Where do you live?"
"Jameson Hotel."
It"s rare that Aaron is willing to drive her home personally. Therefore, Katrina quickly tells him the address.
She certainly wants to stay with Aaron a little longer.
Even if he is just sitting quietly in the car, doing nothing, that"s enough.
Aaron steps on the accelerator and starts the car, driving Katrina back to the hotel.
Along the way, he doesn"t say a word, just looking intently at the road ahead.
Although Katrina wants to say something to him...
When she sees his indifferent face, she doesn"t know how to launch a conversation.
In the twinkling of an eye, the car stops at the entrance of the hotel.
Aaron stops at the roadside, with one hand lying on the steering wheel. He looks at Katrina and says, "Here we are."
Aaron"s words obviously mean that Katrina can get out of the car now.
Seeing Aaron"s expressionless face and hearing his apathetic words...
Katrina feels a little disappointed.
In the past, Aaron always stares at her affectionately. His eyes always stick to her, full of love, reluctant to leave even for a moment.
But now...
In front of her, he is so rational and calm. So indifferent!
Faced with such a strong contrast, how can she not feel depressed?
Katrina is reluctant to get off the car so easily.
This time, Aaron has sent her back.
But in the future, how should she find him? How can she see him and be with him?
She"s afraid that after their separation this time, he"ll turn a blind eye to her as before.
Katrina bites her lip and advises in a low voice, "Aaron, thank you for driving me back. Do you have time tomorrow? Can I invite you to dinner?"
Aaron refuses without hesitation, "I"m busy with my work tomorrow."
Katrina replies quickly, "That"s all right. I can wait for you!"
Katrina"s voice just drops...
Aaron looks at her seriously.
"I don"t want to hurt you. But do you need me to express my idea more clearly?" Aaron mocks in a low, indifferent voice. "I don"t want to be with you, and I don"t want to have dinner with you!"
Katrina knows that he doesn"t like her, but she still has fantasies about him, which bothers Aaron a lot.
If he promises to have dinner with her, she"ll get more hope.
Now, she"s beside him, and he even can"t get rid of her. It"s annoying enough for him.
How can he give her hope and more reasons to pester him?
Hearing Aaron"s words…
Katrina is shocked.
Her eager face grows gloomy in an instant.
She lowers her head and nods, murmuring softly, "I see."
Her voice is as light as the wind.
Perhaps Aaron will hate her even more if she keeps pestering him.
Katrina turns around, opens the door, and is getting ready to get off.
Just then, Aaron, sitting in the driver"s seat, suddenly says, "By the way."
Hearing Aaron"s words, Katrina thinks he may change his mind. She turns around immediately.
Aaron looks at her coldly and warns, "I really appreciate your presence today to help me get rid of this marriage. But I can tell you quite clearly that I don"t like Annie, and I don"t like you either. Please stop bothering me in the future! If you don"t leave Hadley City in a week, I don"t guarantee what I will do to deal with you. Don"t blame me for not thinking about our relations.h.i.+p in the past."
Hearing Aaron"s threatening words, Katrina can"t help feeling a little desperate.
In just one day, Katrina has big ups and downs in her mood.
Not thinking about their relations.h.i.+p in the past...
Deal with her...
Katrina has never expected that Aaron will treat her in the way he treats his enemies one day.
She"s afraid that if she continues staying here, she won"t be able to control her feelings that were gradually collapsing.
Katrina finally opens the door and flees.
She"s supposed to be happy after stopping Aaron"s engagement to another woman.
But why now...
Her heart aches severely.
She and Aaron...
Can"t they really restore the intimacy they once had?
***
At this time, the Johnson family.
Since Annie came back from the engagement ceremony...
She has shut herself up in the room all day without eating, drinking, or going out.
Frank is so anxious that he almost gets mad. He keeps knocking at the door.
"Annie, would you like to come out and have something to eat? Dad knows you"re in a bad mood, but you can"t torture yourself like that. How can your body stand it?"
"Annie, all this is the fault of the Wilson family. They should bear all the responsibility, especially Aaron Wilson. What a b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Annie, you cannot take his fault to torture yourself!"
"Annie, there are many good men in the world. Whatever kind of men do you want, Dad will find him for you! So please come out, Okay?"
Frank stands outside, shouting constantly, but there"s no response from inside.
The servant asks worriedly, "Sir, will Miss hurt herself?"
