Aaron bends over and carries Katrina in his arms as if the man in front of him doesn't exist. Pursing his lips lightly, Aaron strides towards the banquet hall.
Suddenly raised high into the air, Katrina subconsciously grabs Aaron's clothes with one hand and carries her high heels on the other hand.
Katrina looks up at Aaron's handsome face and whispers, "Hey, Aaron. Is that man really your brother?"
Aaron looks straight ahead. "You ask too many questions. Shut up!"
Katrina rolls her eyes at the rebuke. "Well, it's fine if you don't want to answer."
After being imprisoned in the villa for so long, all she only knows about Aaron is that he's rich, but she doesn't have any idea about his business.
The villa only has his heelers and the housekeeper.
She hasn't even seen any of Aaron's relatives.
When a man suddenly appears and calls him "brother," she definitely becomes curious about his private life.
Katrina doesn't know whether the man is really Aaron's brother or not. But it's evident that Aaron is hostile towards the man. Maybe they once had an unpleasant altercation.
In front of the man earlier, Aaron held her in his arms as tightly as he could, lest she should be taken away by someone else. Even when he kissed her, he was full of domineering possessiveness, as if he was deliberately showing off to the man.
Could it be that...
Did they love the same girl before?
Did they become estranged because of a woman?
No wonder Aaron's character is always as unpredictable as the weather.
Now, Katrina finally finds out why. Maybe he's the way he is now because he's been hurt by other women before. But to be honest, as a woman, if Katrina has to choose between Aaron and that man…
She would probably choose that man, too.
All women want a warm and thoughtful boyfriend. What kind of woman could endure a man like Aaron?
Maybe Aaron has a favorite girl.
Does he love someone?
Katrina doesn't know where the sudden sadness in her heart comes from. In an instant, her mood seems to dampen considerably.
She doesn't care if he loves someone or not. She just doesn't want to be someone else's substitute…
Unbeknownst to Katrina, her mood is reflected on her face. She looks depressed.
In the blink of an eye, Aaron takes Katrina to the back door.
The music from the banquet hall is clearly audible.
Katrina snaps out of her thoughts and grabs Aaron's clothes. "Aaron, let me go!"
Aaron raises his eyebrows and looks at her. "Why? Are you disappointed that I didn't leave you with that man? Do you want to go back and find him?"
What?
At that moment, Katrina wishes that she could scratch Aaron's face.
Katrina buries her face in Aaron's arms and says in a muffled voice, "Nobody at the party knows me anyway. Keep carrying me if you want! You're the one they'll be talking about, Mr. Wilson."
Katrina's words make Aaron frown.
This woman is learning how to refute him.
Although he was in a bad mood at the sight of the man earlier, he forgets about his anger for a while.
If he carries Katrina this way and enters, he will draw attention from the whole dinner party.
Aaron becomes a little angry but finally releases Katrina.
Katrina puts her shoes on the floor, gathers up her dress, and steps in.
It's said that women's feet are nearly as intimate as her breasts, especially a pair of delicate and exquisite feet. It's easy to fall into a reverie at sight.
Seeing Katrina's tender feet, he realizes that she was standing barefoot in front of that man...
The more Aaron thinks about it, the unhappier he becomes. He can't help saying, "How long have you been outside?"
Katrina is stunned to hear Aaron's words.
He hasn't moved on from what just happened!
Does he think that she's having an affair with someone else covertly?
Is it necessary to interrogate her in this harsh tone?
Katrina raises her right hand and says, "I swear I was the only one there just now! I was looking for my shoes when the man appeared. I've never seen him before!"
Aaron snorts. Instead of addressing the matter, he takes her into the hall hand in hand.
Earlier in the back garden, it was generally dark despite the moonlight and dim street lights.
When they return to the party, the light from the crystal chandelier above shows that Katrina's tender wrist is red.
Aaron suddenly lifts Katrina's wrist. "What happened?"
She didn't have an injury earlier. How did she get hurt after going out for a while? Who did this!
Seeing Aaron ask her about her wrist with such seriousness and dignity…
Katrina gapes in stunned surprise.
How could he have the nerve to ask what's wrong!
This is his own doing!
Earlier, he squeezed her wrist so hard that she almost cried. She told him to let go of her, but he ignored her.
But now…
Does he have amnesia?
Or a split personality?
Katrina becomes speechless and immediately doesn't want to talk to him.
At that moment, Aaron suddenly realizes that this is his fault.
When he saw Katrina talking to the most annoying person he's ever met, he got a bit agitated. He might have been too forceful without realizing it.
Unexpectedly, he accidentally injured her again.
Aaron just wants to take good care of her and protect her, but he always inadvertently brings her more harm.
Women are indeed fragile and troublesome creatures.
No wonder the old says that women and villains are difficult to get along with.
When Aaron takes Katrina's hand again, he's obviously much gentler.
Meanwhile, at the banquet, Victoria is chatting with several wealthy girls with a glass of red wine in her hand when she notices Aaron and Katrina through the crowd.
When they return from the back door, her eyes are immediately drawn to Katrina's messed up lipstick on her mouth. Her lips also seem to be slightly swollen.
Did they…
Observant girls can easily discern that they went out to make out.
Unexpectedly, Aaron, who has never been close to women, would kiss this woman.
What gives her the right!
How did she seduce Aaron!
Victoria's heart fills with immense anger and jealousy. She unconsciously squeezes the goblet in her hand.
