Memories Of The Night 182 Chapter 182: Marcellus Loves Katrina

In the blink of an eye, it's the weekend again.

After a wonderful date with Katrina, Marcellus returns to his high-rise duplex downtown apartment with a sweet smile on his face.

It has been half a month since he and Katrina became a couple. In the past two weeks, they have been getting along well, and their relations.h.i.+p is stable.

Katrina is a very clever and sensible girl. She never acts like other girls who mischievously pesters their boyfriends from time to time.

With her, Marcellus feels unprecedented relaxation and comfort.

There has never been a dispute. When they get occasional disagreements, one of them will quickly come to terms with the other.

But sometimes, Marcellus wonders if things are too calm between them.

It's reasonable for girls to occasionally act coquettish, quarrel a little, or make their own small requests. If Katrina acts like a spoiled child, Marcellus will be happy to satisfy all her desires.

Although they look sweet and well-matched, Marcellus always gets the feeling that there seems to be something missing between them.

Even if there is a sense of reverence between them, he feels that they are standing still. They don't seem to warm up to each other or move forward.

Until now, Marcellus has done nothing more intimate than hold Katrina's hand. They haven't even kissed, let alone done anything else.

It would seem incredulous, even to an outsider.

How could they not have kissed yet after being together so long?

Marcellus can't explain, but he has a feeling that they aren't going on the right track.

Perhaps Katrina is a conservative girl who is unresponsive in this respect. That's why she has been keeping her distance from him in terms of intimacy.

Well, it doesn't matter.

Marcellus loves Katrina.

He respects her a great deal. He is very happy as long as he is with her. As for the intimacy he craves, he can wait as long as he has to until she is willing to accept him.

At the thought, Marcellus's handsome and elegant face unconsciously smiles in satisfaction.

Marcellus presses his thumb to the fingerprint identification lock on the door and pushes the door in. Just as he is about to wear slippers, he suddenly sees a person sitting on the sofa.

The person on the couch is also looking at him.

Marcellus is stunned. "Mom, what are you doing here?"

Mrs. Brook's eyes naturally catch the smile on Marcellus's face as he enters the room.

That smile is definitely the smile of a man in love. Mrs. Brook has never seen him like this before. It gives her an idea as to where he has been.

Mrs. Brook says, "You didn't come home this weekend, so I came to see you."

Marcellus puts the car keys aside. "Mom, I'm an adult now. I know how to take care of myself. You don't need to worry about me. If you have spare time, you can travel or get a beauty treatment with some friends."

His mother always goes to his company or his house to see him. Every time she visits, she doesn't tell him in advance. It's exhausting.

Marcellus is more than 20 years old. He has his own job and his own life. He doesn't want to be monitored by his parents all day long like a child. It's a frustrating situation.

As a son, he knows to be obedient and respectful to his parents. When he has free time, he goes home to see his mother.

But he doesn't want his mother to get too involved in his private life too much.

"Son, does having a girlfriend make you dislike your own mother? You're my son. Of course I'll come to see you."

His mother's words make Marcellus feel frustrated.

"Mom, what are you talking about? You're my mother. Even if I have a girlfriend, you will always be my mother. I don't like it when you come to my office and my apartment without telling me in advance."

Mrs. Brook is somewhat unhappy. "Is your little girlfriend feeding you some kind of magic potion? Marcellus, I used to introduce so many girls to you, but you never cared about any of them. But one girl has the ability to subdue you."

There's a strange tone in his mother's voice. Marcellus never thought that conflicts between in-laws would happen to him. He feels uncomfortable being caught in the middle.

Marcellus naturally respects and loves his mother very much.

But Katrina is his girlfriend. He cannot tolerate any grievance against her. He doesn't want to hear his mother talking about his girlfriend like that.

"Mom," Marcellus says, "Katrina is very nice. When you get to know her, you'll find out what a good person she is. You'll also love her!"

He tries to convince his mother that Katrina is a good person. He wants his mother to accept his girlfriend. "Mom, don't you trust your son? Katrina is a very nice girl. She's shy, so I can't introduce her to you yet. But please don't think badly of her, okay?" he implores.

But Mrs. Brook says seriously, "Marcellus, our family is well-known in Abbe City. I will not let an orphan, without parents or anything to her name, marry you."

She says magnanimously, "You can have fun with her if you want. Men like having fun with women, and I can understand your needs as a man. But after that, I hope you will break up with her as soon as possible. Nothing can happen between you two!"

It never occurs to Marcellus that his gracious mother would say such foul words. His mother's words leave him shocked and angry.

Have fun with Katrina?

What does she think of him?

What does she think of Katrina?

Would his mother rather he play with a woman's feelings and have fun with her than let him be with a woman he loves? Is this the mother he respects?

Marcellus is furious. "Mom! Katrina is my favorite woman. I have loved her for many years! I have pursued her for so long, and now, we're finally together."

He continues, "My feelings for her are serious. I'm definitely not in this relations.h.i.+p just for fun. I don't care about her family background, I don't care if she is just an orphan. All that matters is that I love her! I want to marry her and take her as my wife!"

Mrs. Brook is also surprised to see her proud and dutiful son become so disobedient and contrary to her, talking to her so disrespectfully.

Other rich family's sons are always indulging in beautiful girls. It's common for pregnant women to come to them from time to time, demanding they take responsibility.

But Marcellus has never worried her in this regard. He has excellent grades and is extraordinarily polite. He has a very outstanding character and personality.

It never occurs to Mrs. Brook that her son is intent on marrying an ordinary woman who comes from nothing.

If she had known this earlier, she would rather that he had a lot of girlfriends in the past than take an orphan girl so seriously.
