Memories Of The Night 278 Chapter 278: He Was Worried For Her

Katrina doesn't know how to respond. "I just wanted to push him away! Kicking him on the shoulder was a complete coincidence!"

Aaron's accusation makes Katrina want to burst into tears. With a sad face, she replies, "I was wrong, I'm sorry. If you're unsatisfied, you can kick me back and make us even. I'll also feel better afterward."

Aaron is horrified by her offer. "I don't want to kick her! I know that I scared her also by trying to force her again!

Suddenly he remembers her saying that she is on her period. Now that he has a clear mind, he thinks carefully and counts the days.

She wasn't lying, he realizes.

Aaron asks, and a concerned voice added to his words, "How do you feel?" "Every time she's on her period, she gets stomach cramps."

The sudden question confuses Katrina. Realizing that Aaron is worried about her, she shakes her head slightly. "Farrah gave me some medicine earlier. I feel better after taking it."

"I'll prepare a bath for you. Take a bath and go to bed early," she says, standing up and hurrying to the bathroom.

Just as Katrina turns on the tap to let the water run, she feels someone grab her arm. Turning around, she sees Aaron standing behind her.

"Forget it," he says, "I can do it by myself. Just go get some rest."

Aaron knows that a girl on her period shouldn't touch cold water. Exposure to cold water is inevitable when running bathwater. "I can't let her do things for me at the expense of her health. She is too fragile when she is in her period!"

Katrina is taken aback. "Did I hear him, right? He forced me to run the bath for him last night. Now that I'm offering to do it on my own, he's refusing?"

At her dumbfounded expression, Aaron asks, "Why aren't you leaving? Do you want us to take a bath together? I don't mind. Go on, take your clothes off."

Katrina's face instantly turns red. She glares at him in embarra.s.sment and anger. This rascal, always shamelessly flirting! No wonder I kicked him! He doesn't look injured at all!

She almost slammed the door out. She heads back to her room without responding.

The days pa.s.s by, and Marcellus and Irene's wedding soon arrives.

Katrina is determined not to attend the wedding.

Since she deleted Marcellus' contact information when she broke up with him, she asks Farrah to tell him she's busy on her behalf.

The wedding day is held on a weekend, which also happens to be Katrina's day off.

From the moment she wakes up, she stays glued to the couch watching TV. Despite flipping through the channels from time to time, she isn't paying attention. She spends the whole day in a listless daze.

Aaron can't stand to look at Katrina's crestfallen face. Isn't her ex-boyfriend getting married? Why is she hiding at home and refusing to attend his wedding? She looks miserable.

Unable to bear it anymore, he literally drags Katrina off the couch. "Come on! Get dressed!"

Katrina notices that Aaron dressed in a suit. She asks in a dull tone, "Why?"

"We're going out!"

"Where?"

"Come with me, and you'll know. Why do you have so many questions!" He pushes her into the room and shuts the door. "It's a formal occasion, dress nicely!"

With nothing better to do, Katrina decides to go along with Aaron's plans rather than stay at home and do nothing. It'll be a good distraction.

She opens her wardrobe and starts to look for something to wear. Most of her clothes are for casual wear, with only a handful of fancy dresses for special occasions.

Katrina decides to wear a cla.s.sy black dress that reaches just below her knees. The sleeves are designed in a black-and-white crisscross pattern, showing off her shoulders and collarbones in an elegant style.

After picking out matching bags and shoes, Katrina puts on some makeup.

Aaron just finishes a long conference call when Katrina finally exits the room thirty minutes later. Becoming easily bored by the long wait, he kept himself busy with work.

For the first time, he realizes how much patience it takes to wait for a woman to get ready to go out. If Katrina hadn't come out for a few more minutes, he would've thought that she went to sleep.

She's gorgeous, he thinks in awe. In contrast to her disheveled look when she was dressed in pajamas earlier, her current look is quite a shock.

Katrina always looks simple and plain in his presence. She never puts on makeup or dresses up like the women in his circle.

Aaron doesn't mind it. Even when she gets up in the morning and comes out of her room with bleary eyes, he still gets the strong urge to hug and kiss her. He loves her even on her bad days.

He gives her a once-over and nods in approval. The black dress she's wearing shows off her figure without revealing too much skin. Her light makeup gives her a natural look, making her look elegant and lovely. She looks like a G.o.ddess.

Aaron's penetrating stare makes Katrina a little nervous. She tugs at her dress and asks, "Do I look weird?" Is this inappropriate for where he wants to take me?

He closes his laptop and strides towards her without responding. Unable to resist the strong urge, he bends down and gives her a sweet kiss.

Eyes widening in shock, she immediately pushes him away and covers her mouth. Drawing two steps back, she exclaims, "I just put on lipstick!"

I spent so much time on my makeup, but he suddenly kisses me and ruins it immediately! With a huff, she hurries back to her room to fix her makeup in the mirror.

Katrina turns around and hurries back to her room to fix her makeup in the mirror.

Aaron wipes the lipstick off his mouth, his handsome face curled into a small smile.
