Memories Of The Night 209 Chapter 209: Why Does It Have To Be Difficult?

Katrina doesn't need to rush out anymore. Finally calming down, she turns to Randy and smiles at him. "Randy, I… Thank you."

Randy grins back at her. "Just a moment, Miss Miller."

After Katrina sits down at the table, Randy goes to the kitchen to get her breakfast.

By this time, Aaron is on his way to the office for work.

When he got up this morning, he went to his room to check on Katrina. He didn't wake her up when he saw that she was sleeping soundly. Thinking she would need to rest, he called the police station and requested a day off for her.

Meanwhile, Marcellus is still waiting outside Katrina's apartment.

He stayed up by her door all night in hopes of getting back together with her.

After loving her for so many years, she finally agreed to be his girlfriend. It hasn't been long since they got together, how could she break up with him so soon?

Katrina is happy with him. There isn't anything wrong in their relations.h.i.+p, either. Why do they need to break up all of a sudden?

Marcellus cannot accept this.

Katrina's decision to break up must have been an impulsive decision. He hopes she will give him another chance. If there's anything he needs to improve on, he will change it.

Marcellus is determined to do whatever it takes to gain her forgiveness.

But throughout the whole night of waiting for her, he doesn't even see a soul. He doesn't see her go out for work this morning, which means she's not even in her apartment.

To avoid him, Katrina didn't go home last night. It's a sign that she is determined to break up with him.

The realization makes Marcellus's heart clench in pain.

Focused on finding Katrina as soon as possible, Marcellus left the hospital in a hurry without taking his phone with him.

He has no idea where she spent the night or how she is right now.

Even now, Marcellus worries about her safety.

Thinking that she spent the night with her best friend Farrah, Marcellus finds it pointless to keep waiting. He has no choice but to leave.

Marcellus is dejected, the exhaustion in his eyes complemented by the stubble on his chin. He walks aimlessly along the streets on his own, the pain of the break up torturing him endlessly.

All of a sudden, a red sports car screeches to a stop at the side of the road. When the doors open, two women rush out.

"Marcellus!" Claire cries. "Where did you go last night? Are you alright?"

The young girl at her heels is Irene Harrison, the woman Claire wants for her son. "Marcellus," she says. "Mrs. Brook has been looking for you the whole night, and she's very worried about you!"

Seeing the two women makes Marcellus unspeakably tired.

The previous afternoon, Claire kept trying to discredit Katrina to get him to break up with her. Afterward, Katrina broke up with him over the phone.

He doesn't know if it was a coincidence or if his mother confronted Katrina to make her break up with him.

After the break-up, he is the one in pain.

His mother must be very happy, and this is what she has been waiting for.

Despite his mother's evident worries, her opposition and lack of support for his relations.h.i.+p with Katrina make him unspeakably weary.

Marcellus feels helpless. Is this his mother's fault? He shakes his head. "I'm fine."

Seeing the unspeakable grief and heartache on her son's face makes Claire feel terrible. Although she wants her son to break up with Katrina, she doesn't want him to be tortured to death because of her.

After learning that Marcellus left the hospital, Irene overlooked Marcellus's rude att.i.tude towards her during her hospital visit. Instead, she joined Claire in her search for Marcellus, consoling her the whole time.

In Claire's opinion, Irene is an ideal and rare woman. She is not only beautiful but also highly educated and of n.o.ble birth. Despite her background, she is not arrogant. She treats people with kindness, regardless of their status.

Irene is the perfect woman to be Marcellus's wife.

"Marcellus, the doctor said you can't walk yet," Claire reminds him. "Let's go back to the hospital."

Instead of resisting, Marcellus obediently gets into the car and goes with them back to the hospital.

His injuries are still healing. If he can't even take care of himself, how could he look for Katrina? He can't let her see him in such a miserable state.

After arriving at the hospital, Irene finds the doctor for Marcellus.

Marcellus watches her figure with a sense of irony.

He doesn't even remember her first name. After tricking him into having a meal together one time, Claire still keeps desperately pus.h.i.+ng her into his life.

He has to admit that the young man is a good person. He is also grateful for her kindness. Even if he doesn't like her, he can't deny her right to like someone.

But she also knows that he has a girlfriend.

He has already made himself clear that he doesn't want to get close to her. When she visited him and peeled apples for him yesterday, he roughly rejected her and turned her away.

Marcellus doesn't want to betray Katrina and become close to another woman.

He doesn't want to give Irene any hope. He doesn't want her to misunderstand him and become more entangled in his life.

With only Katrina in his heart, he will never like her. He doesn't want her to waste her feelings on him.

Given her n.o.ble status, she can find a man who will love her completely and spoil her all her life.

But because of Claire's support and approval, Irene doesn't leave him alone.

After finding out about the break-up, Claire takes advantage of Katrina's absence to bring Irene more into the picture.

Marcellus is tired of being caught in the middle of the three women: the woman he loves, his mother, and the woman his mother wants for him.

All he wants is to be in a serious relations.h.i.+p with the person he loves.

Why does it have to be so difficult?
