Memories Of The Night 211 Chapter 211: Introduce Him As Her Boyfriend

Katrina sits in front of the gravestone and talks to her dead father. After a long time, she glances at her watch and stands up. "Dad, take care. I'll visit again soon."

After leaving her father's grave, Katrina goes to the old caretaker to say goodbye.

The caretaker will soon retire and go back to his hometown. Today could be the last day that they see each other.

For the first time, Katrina sees the old caretaker talking to another man by the cabin. The man has his back to her, obscuring his face from Katrina.

People seldom go to the cemetery. She wonders who the man is.

Family members usually visit their deceased relatives during commemorative holidays. Whenever Katrina visits the cemetery, she rarely meets someone else. Most times, she only sees the old man sitting silently on his own.

It's very strange to see another person besides her and the caretaker.

Katrina doesn't think much of it and thinks that the stranger is another person visiting a deceased relative.

Before Katrina reaches the cabin, the caretaker sees her coming and waves enthusiastically at her. "Your boyfriend is here for you!"

Boyfriend? She had no idea who it was.

Katrina is surprised. Although she promised the old man that she would introduce her boyfriend to him the next time she visits, she just broke up with Marcellus yesterday. She doesn't have a boyfriend anymore.

Just then, the stranger turns around.

Shock and disbelief flashes across Katrina's face when she sees the familiar face.

Aaron? The devil suddenly comes to the cemetery.

What is he doing here?

In contrast to Katrina's surprise, Aaron looks at her with fondness in his eyes. He approaches her and wraps his arm around her affectionately and says gently, "Sorry I'm late, honey. I wrapped things up at the company, and I'm all yours now." A devilish smile drew in Aaron's handsome face.

Katrina doesn't know what Aaron said to the caretaker, but she doesn't have the heart to contradict Aaron in front of the elder's happy wrinkled face.

For now, she will play along with it and pretend that Aaron is her boyfriend.

Katrina smiles. "It's okay. I'm glad you're here."

Then she brings Aaron up to the caretaker. "This is my boyfriend," she introduces with great reluctance. To rea.s.sure the old man before he retires, she tries her best to look happy with Aaron.

Although Aaron knows that Katrina is only pretending for some reason, he feels inexplicable happiness. This is the first time that she introduces him as her boyfriend to someone else. Though he doesn't know her reason for playing along with him, he remains silent.

Elated, he holds Katrina closer. Right now, they are a couple in love.

Seeing the lovely match they make, the caretaker brightens up. "It's great to meet you! You look like a very capable young man. A person's face reveals the person's character, and you must be a good man, boy!"

Overjoyed, the elder keeps praising Aaron. The old man thought that is good for her.

Besides a person's appearance, one's behavior can reflect a person's character.

To an outsider, Aaron is a graceful and well-spoken man. He comes to Katrina as soon as he finishes work. Besides being career-minded and responsible, he is also kind to Katrina.

Such a man is for keeps. The caretaker feels particularly optimistic about him.

"Oh, I was a bit disappointed when I didn't see your boyfriend earlier. But now, I can retire in peace." Turning to Aaron, he says, "Young man, your girlfriend is a good woman. For so many years, I watched her grow up. You better be good to hear! Don't bully her, you hear me?"

For the first time, Katrina doesn't push Aaron away. Listening to the old man makes Katrina feel emotional.

The caretaker cares for her like a grandfather, asking her boyfriend to treat her well. Since her father's death, few people have shown their concern for her like this. In the face of a stranger's kindness, how could she not feel moved?

Aaron nods and promises, "I'll be good to her. Don't worry, and I'll take care of her. I love this woman so much, and I am willing to give her everything she wants,"

It will be harder to say goodbye if they stay. Katrina smiles and says, "Thank you for taking care of my father and me for all these years. I hope you enjoy your retirement."

"It's lonely facing the rows of tombstones every day in the cemetery. For so many years, you're the only one who visits regularly. You also accompany me and chat with me every time. I'm the one who should thank you."

The caretaker's job is considered unlucky by many people. People who visit the cemetery are reluctant to speak to him and usually avoid him. Only Katrina greets him with a smile.

Katrina's kindness makes it easy for him to care for her.

"Oh, I thought I'd wait a few more days for you to bring your boyfriend before I retire. But I guess that time has come. I'll call my grandson and ask him to pick me up and take me home!"

The elder's wrinkled face is full of indescribable happiness.

The lonely girl he worries about finally finds a good man. And he can finally go back to his hometown to enjoy the rest of his life.

He has no regrets. He can go home at last.

Katrina and Aaron sit on a stone bench outside.

After a while, an ordinary car comes up to pick the caretaker up. A man in his thirties gets out of the cargoes to the cabin.

While Aaron helps the newcomer to carry the caretaker's belongings to the trunk of the car, Katrina helps the old man into the car.

"Goodbye! I hope you two will always be happy together and get married soon!"

"I wish you happiness and health in your old age!"

Katrina waves goodbye as the car leaves.
