Memories Of The Night - Chapter 523
Everyone can see that Aaron comes here with full sincerity today.
Joseph is shocked to learn that Aaron has transferred all his property to Katrina and their baby.
He never expects that Aaron will transfer them so fast and decisively.
When a successful man can give all his property to a woman as betrothal gifts, it is enough to show his sincerity.
After all, these properties are accumulated by Aaron’s years of hard work, which must be very precious to him.
Eric is also shocked to see what Aaron is doing, but his resentment is greater than anything else.
Eric says angrily, “Do you think we need these? Do you think I can’t afford my granddaughter and give her everything she wants? Take them away. Get out of here right now!”
In the past, Eric agreed that Katrina and Aaron were together, not for Aaron’s money or status.
Aaron can provide Katrina with material things, so can Eric.
Eric entrusted Katrina, his precious granddaughter, to Aaron because of Aaron’s devotion and love for Katrina.
But Aaron has hurt Katrina so much. Now he’s trying to make up for it with money?
Is Eric a money-hungry man?
Can Eric forget Aaron’s hurt to Katrina and forgive him?
Absolutely not!
Eric is unbending and obstinate. He refuses without hesitation.
Faced with Eric’s anger, Aaron is humble, saying sincerely, “Mr. Simon, Of course, I know that with the financial resources of the Simon family, Katrina can get anything she wants. But I am still willing to give her everything I have, including myself.”
“I know you love Katrina very much. But one day, if you are not here, who can help you take care of her or love her? Sooner or later, Joseph will get married and have his own children. He will have his own family. It is impossible for him to take care of Katrina all his life. At that time, Katrina will be left alone. Do you want that? Do you want to see that the baby has no father?”
Aaron’s words awaken the most sensitive place in Eric’s heart.
In fact, he has already thought about it.
He is also thinking after he has gone, what should Katrina and her baby do?
So he can’t wait to find a man for her.
So he sets Katrina up with Liam in the hope that they can be together.
Even if his mind is exposed, Eric still shouts angrily, “You are not qualified to take care of her! I will certainly help her find a good man who will not bully or hurt her!”
At Eric’s words, Aaron frowns.
Does Eric mean Liam?
Eric is unwilling to give up. He still wants Katrina to be with Liam.
“Mr. Simon, Katrina won’t like other men! If you force her into a pair with another man, she will not be happy! If she submits to your will to marry a man she dislikes, marriage for her is not happiness, but a shackle! Do you really want to make her future life miserable?”
Hearing Aaron’s words, Eric does have a complex feeling in his heart.
Aaron is right.
They have witnessed Katrina’s love for Aaron.
Otherwise, she would not have been hurt severely by Aaron.
It’s really hard for her to forget Aaron, whom she loves so much. It’s also hard for her to love another man.
Even if Katrina is willing to obey Eric and marry a good man, will such a marriage bring happiness to Katrina?
To tell the truth, he dare not promise.
He is also afraid of doing bad things with good intentions, which, as Aaron says, will push Katrina into the cage of marriage.
But he can’t easily forgive Aaron!
He really can’t convince himself!
He can’t accept him easily, no matter how Aaron persuades him!
By this time, Eric’s mind is in a mess. The more he looks at Aaron, the more annoyed he becomes.
He points in the direction of the door, “I don’t want to see you now! Get out of here! Get out of here with your things!”
From Eric’s attitude, Aaron feels that Eric has been slightly shaken.
But at this point, Aaron can’t expect Eric to give him a positive answer right away. Eric needs to calm down.
Aaron can only compromise, “Okay, I’m leaving now. But Mr. Simon, for the future of Katrina and our baby, I hope you will give it serious consideration. I’m waiting for your reply.”
Aaron bows politely to Eric and leaves.
Eric shouts behind him, “Take your things away!”
Aaron ignores it.
Those things are brought by him as betrothal gifts. How can he take them back?
Although those are all his property, his years of hard work.
By contrast, Katrina is more precious.
Without her, even if he has more money, his life is still meaningless.
After Aaron leaves, Eric throws away the stick and sits down on the sofa. He is full of anger, “This bastard! How can he act in this way?”
On the one hand, it’s all his property. On the other hand, it’s a stick.
To be honest, now he really doesn’t know whether he should continue to insist.
Maybe he should respect Katrina’s opinion and see how she chooses.
Not long after Aaron leaves, Katrina comes down.
Just now, she coaxed her baby to sleep in the room. She doesn’t know what happened just now.
As soon as she comes downstairs, she finds that the atmosphere seems a little depressing.
Eric sits on the sofa with anger, and an open suitcase and a wooden stick on the floor. The suitcase is full of house deeds and stuff like that.
Katrina is surprised to see the scene before her.
She asks carefully, “Grandpa, what happened?”
