Katrina is pressed tightly against Aaron"s arms.
She doesn"t mean to cry, but she can"t stop crying somehow.
Maybe she"s homesick, or maybe she feels aggrieved to be held captive by Aaron for so long.
Katrina lets out her emotions and bursts into tears.
Warm tears soak Aaron"s s.h.i.+rt, and his chest clenches painfully.
In the face of her tears, Aaron is at a loss with what to do.
Katrina cries a lot.
He just said a few ruthless words, and she began to cry.
Feeling troubled and helpless, he holds her even tighter.
Having never been close to women before, Aaron is always aloof and domineering. He"s never gone through this kind of situation and has never felt lost because of a girl.
He wants to comfort her but doesn"t know-how. He feels out of his depth.
Girls are really tough creatures to deal with.
He struggled in the business for so many years, experienced so many great occasions, and has always been able to take it easy. But he"s at a complete loss with what to do with her crying.
Did his words really hurt her that much?
After much hesitation, Aaron finally says, "I"m sorry, I didn"t mean to blame you. I was just afraid that you"re in danger."
He didn"t mean to criticize her and be angry with her. He was just so worried about her that he lost his temper. He would try to avoid getting angry with her from now on.
Taking her to the amus.e.m.e.nt park was supposed to be fun. Unexpectedly, he unintentionally made her cry again.
At this point, Aaron feels a little annoyed.
He"s really bad at coaxing girls.
At the sight of him coming back in the midst of such a dangerous situation, Katrina ran up and immediately seized his clothes. It seems that she"s very dependent on him.
But he responded by putting the blame on her.
Aaron wipes her tears and fumbles with an apology. "It"s my fault. Please stop crying."
Her eyes are already red, like a poor little rabbit. If she keeps crying, her eyes will swell up.
Although he was seriously injured several times before, it never hurt as much as it does now. The sight of her tears makes his heart twist painfully.
Finally, Katrina stops crying.
She didn"t cry because of Aaron"s rebuke. She knows that Aaron was angry because he"s worried about her safety.
His criticism is a fuse to her.
All her negative emotions in the past few days acc.u.mulated to a certain extent, although she couldn"t feel them sometimes after repressing them in her heart, once the fuse is lit, n.o.body can control the flame.
Now that Aaron wronged himself enough to apologize to her, there"s no need for her to make a big fuss anymore.
She knows how hard it is for Aaron to apologize.
Katrina dries her tears. Anyone would feel aggrieved to see her foggy eyes.
Aaron puts the cat ears headband on her head. Having no experience with putting on any jewelry for a girl, he"s not very skilled, and it ends up slightly crooked.
But he looks at it with satisfaction.
Katrina"s long, silky black hair under the cat ears give her indescribable loveliness and allure. She"s like a cat with sharp teeth, which leaves permanent marks on his skin.
He suddenly gets a fascinating image of her dressed up like a cat in bed.
Aaron thinks he must"ve been poisoned. He got poisoned by Katrina.
He keeps picturing her in bed, licking ice cream and wearing stuffed ears.
It seems that he needs a great deal of consolation in the evening.
Katrina touches the furry cat"s ears on her hair.
Just now, she saw what was holding in his hand, but she didn"t expect that he would buy it for her.
Katrina looks up at him with her red eyes. "Did you buy this for me?"
Hiding the printed photos, Aaron coughs and nods. "Yeah, do you like it?"
Katrina"s wronged heart is suddenly filled with a hint of warmth. She murmurs, "Childish."
The conflict between them is quietly resolved.
After the incident, Katrina and Aaron return together, as if nothing happened.
He was squatting on the ground, Beta whimpers twice, looking at Katrina worriedly.
Katrina looks down and touches Beta"s head. "I"m okay. Thank you, Beta."
When Beta saw that she was being bullied, he rushed to her rescue.
Maybe she"s really important to Beta. She"s glad that Beta can protect her like this.
After the encounter, Katrina is a little tired, and no longer wants to go around. Aaron takes her and Beta directly back to the house.
On the way back, Aaron had a lot to think about.
After completing his current business, he happens to have a project in Abbe City.
Since Katrina is so homesick, he can take her back to relieve her pain of nostalgia.
Abbe is a big market for business.
Maybe he can develop his career in Abbe in the future. It will be more favorable to Katrina. After all, she grew up in Abbe, and she"s more familiar with the city.
It"s not feasible to force her to stay long-term in Hadley.
Aaron himself doesn"t even realize that Katrina now exists in his life plan.
Unexpectedly, Aaron starts planning to develop a life and career in Abbe for her.
After dinner that evening, Randy gives Katrina a nice smartphone. "Miss Miller, Mr. Wilson had this prepared this for you."
Katrina looks at the phone in amazement, saying incredulously, "Is this really for me, Randy?"
Her phone was confiscated when she was taken away, cutting off all communication with the outside world. Aaron suddenly giving her a cell phone is shocking.
Randy nods. "Yes, Mr. Wilson specially asked me to prepare it for you. But this phone can only reach Mr. Wilson. If Miss Miller misses Mr. Wilson, you can call him at any time."
Hearing Randy"s words, Katrina"s excited mood disappears in an instant.
She really feels disappointed to find out her new phone can only call Aaron.
He probably got her a cell phone because of what happened in the amus.e.m.e.nt park earlier today.
