Memories Of The Night - Chapter 541
Finally, Duke and Annie’s wedding day has approached.
On the day before their wedding ceremony, Aaron departs from Abbe and heads for Hadley.
Seeing Aaron put a pile of materials into his briefcase, Katrina pulls Aaron’s hand and looks up at him, “Aaron, take me with you.”
Katrina knows that Aaron isn’t going to congratulate Duke and Annie on their marriage.
He is to tear down the true selves of Duke and Jane and to destroy the wedding.
He will face all this alone, so she feels a little uneasy.
Anyway, her company with him can make him less lonely.
After all, they are husband and wife. They should face everything together, shouldn’t they?
Hearing Katrina’s request, Aaron knows what she is thinking, so there is a warm feeling emerging from his heart.
However, he then takes her by the hands and holds her tightly in his arms. His voice is deep and gentle, and he says, “Katrina, wait for me at home. I will come back as soon as possible. Trust me. Nothing is out of my reach.”
That’s what he said.
She also believes that there is nothing impossible by using his strength and power.
But Katrina is still struggling for her chance.
“Aaron, I want to go with you. I can be your backup…”
Aaron can’t help laughing when Katrina said so.
Yeah.
His wife and his child are his strongest backup.
However, Aaron finally sighs and speaks to her with great seriousness, “Katrina, you are still pregnant now. I don’t want you fatigued by the long journey for me. I don’t want you exhausted for me. Besides, you are my most precious person, so you will be my weakness. If you are there, I will be distracted and afraid of not taking good care of you.”
Hearing Aaron’s answer, Katrina keeps silent for a moment and finally agrees.
“Okay. I’ll wait for you at home. Aaron, don’t worry me, come back as soon as possible.”
Aaron is right.
She is a weak and pregnant woman.
If she’s with Aaron, it’s easy to make him distracted.
In case that Duke and Jane do something to her to threaten Aaron. If she goes, it will only make things worse.
After Katrina compromises, Aaron bows his head and kisses her on the lips.
“My honey is so sweet. I’m sure I’ll be back as soon as possible.”
Probably in order to make Katrina not feel so lonely at home, before leaving, Aaron directly drives Katrina and Owen to the villa.
Katrina standing in front of the villa, holds Owen in her arms and watches Aaron drive away. She has nostalgia and reluctance in her eyes.
Actually, she feels a little distressed that he is alone in dealing with these messy things.
In fact, she really wants to face these with him together.
But now, she can only wait for him patiently at home, supporting him in her heart.
In this way, she absolutely can’t make him worry.
After several hours of flying, Aaron lands and telephones Katrina for reporting his safety. And he begins to prepare for the matter of dismantling Duke on the next day.
The day finally arrives on schedule.
Wilsons and Johnsons both have well-known backgrounds, and their friends are either rich or powerful.
Duke and Annie’s wedding ceremony, of course, is full of people from the high class.
Although Annie didn’t marry Aaron but marry Edward’s second son Duke, it’s also a great celebration.
Frank prefers Duke to Aaron.
Anyway, Duke is more gentle and polite.
If his daughter can marry Duke, she won’t suffer any grievance.
But on the contrary, Annie…
The expression on her face doesn’t seem as delightful as that when she was going to engage Aaron.
For her, marriage is like a task to complete. It has no relation to whether she likes or dislikes it.
Since she was rejected by Aaron…
Since Aaron left with and married that woman…
Annie totally has no more illusion about love.
And when Edward and Frank discussed that they wanted Annie to marry Duke…
Annie didn’t refuse and agreed quickly.
Anyway, it’s the same for her to marry anyone.
If it’s the same, why not find a handsome and elegant one with a matched background?
Duke and Annie, the bride and groom, stand at the gate to welcome the guests.
Jane is inspecting the whole ceremony venue. She points to a slightly crooked string of balloons so that the hotel attendant can hang them up again.
At this time, Jane is full of satisfaction and joy.
Of course, she can’t tolerate a little carelessness at her son’s wedding ceremony. Even every detail should also be perfect.
After all, after today’s wedding ceremony, her son will officially get the right of inheritance.
And her wish, which lasts more than twenty years, can finally be realized at this time.
Just then, Aaron, dressed in a black suit, comes over with his gravity.
At Aaron’s sight, Duke immediately draws a smile on his face and takes Annie’s shoulder.
“Aaron, I thought you weren’t coming. I’m really happy that you can come to my wedding with Annie!”
When she meets Aaron again, it really cuts Annie to the quick.
Because she knows that the man in front of her never belongs to her.
Therefore, she lowers her eyes in silence.
Duke notices no one behind Aaron and asks, “By the way, Aaron, why are you alone? Where is Katrina?”
Aaron stares at Duke coldly, with his chin lifting slightly. “She’s not feeling well.”
Duke nods with sudden enlightenment, “Oh, right, my sister-in-law is pregnant now. It’s not convenient for her to come all the way here. That’s all right, brother. I’m glad you can come.”
Duke says, leaning in Annie’s ear and whispering, “Annie, it seems that we have to work hard.”
Annie doesn’t say much, nor does she resist.
Because she will soon be Duke’s wife.
It’s reasonable to have a child with him, which she has no room to refuse.
When she decides to marry him, she should make such preparations.
Aaron can’t get used to Duke’s complacent face anymore and walks into the wedding hall.
Well, let him be complacent for a while.
There will be no chance later.
