Today, Jasmine came home from the hospital. Aiden drove Jasmine and Catherine to Catherine's house.
Handsome Uncle, Mine is happy that Uncle keeps Mine company," exclaimed Mine, who sat at the back. Meanwhile, Catherine sat in the front, side by side with Aiden.
"Really? Uncle is also very happy to be with mine," said Aiden, making Jasmine smile happily.
Catherine glanced through the windscreen. Jasmine's face had never been so bright and cheerful before. Aiden really had a big effect on Jasmine.
Realising that, Catherine felt even more guilty for mine. She should not have let her daughter suffer for so long and hidden all this.
She then glanced at Aiden, who was focused on driving. She remembers Aiden's marriage proposal that seemed forced or because of Jasmine's wishes. Her heart ached, remembering that.
Was she wrong to just want her love to be reciprocated and not pity? Why was it so hard to do that?
Catherine sighed
Aiden took another sip of the drink in his glass, no matter how many glasses there were.The memories of Catherine and her words kept ringing in his head like a hammer that kept hitting his head and chest. It was so tight that he hit his chest repeatedly, which was very painful and tight. 'What have I done all this time? Why was I so stupid? Aiden thought to himself. 'I love her already, but this fear is holding me back.' 'I love Catherine...Shit!" cursed Aiden, taking another sip of his drink. His face was flushed, and he was already drunk. It felt like he wanted to let the liquid he was drinking burn his chest and himself.It was because of his stupidity that he realized one thing too late. And because of his deep sense of trauma, he continued to hurt the woman he loved.He was afraid of being hurt again, but instead he hurt others.Aiden remembered Evelyn's words about how he was the one who could
Aiden was now standing in front of Evelyn's apartment door. He pressed the room's bell.Soon the door opened and revealed Evelyn, who looked like she was getting ready for work."Aiden? What's wrong?" asked Eve, a little surprised to see Aiden in front of her."Eve, is Catherine with you? Aiden was to the point."Catherine? No! she exclaimed. "Maybe Catherine's at her house," Eve said."I was just at her house. And mine says Catherine hasn't been home since yesterday," she said."That's unusual. Did you guys fight again? Evelyn asked, making Aiden pensive."Maybe she's angry and upset with me. I was stupid and hurt her," Aiden sighed."When are you going to get along and be together? Eve said."I realised that I already loved her. Maybe it's been a long time," Aiden said, making Evelyn look at him with a hurt look. But she tried to suppress her own feelings."I'm sorry, Eve. I-""It's okay, Aiden. Evelyn lo
Aiden stood on the bridge, where he usually kept himself calm. The snow still faithfully rained down on the city of New York. The cold air pierced his bones and joints. But it had no effect on Aiden."Where are you, Cath? Aiden murmured, staring ahead.He could feel it now—the tightness of loss. The tightness of being left behind and the tightness of this longingA thousand times, he told himself that he had locked himself in those shackles.Evelyn was right. Catherine and Agneta were different, but it was clear that Catherine loved her. Whereas Agneta-?Even Aiden himself couldn't answer that. Agneta chose to be with him out of reciprocity, nothing more than that.How pathetic Aiden was. He couldn't even tell the difference between genuine love and reciprocation.Aiden let out a long breath as he rubbed his face, which felt cold and seemed to be frozen. He closed his eyes and felt the cold snow touch his face.He opened
Soon their car entered the mountainous area, and it looked deserted, and the roads were so rocky.Ah, damn that, Robert. He brought Catherine here! Aiden shouted, clenching his fists. He felt like he wanted to immediately punch Robert's face to pieces."We'll park the car here. It's still quite far from here. But if we use our car, we'll raise their suspicions," Harry's men shouted.They all got out of the car and walked on foot without leaving any traces or arousing suspicion.---After traveling quite far. They saw a large building. More precisely, a building for the manufacture of something And seen a few people guarding outside the building."What now?" Aiden asked."We'll keep an eye out here first. Some of my men will be barging in on every side," Harry explained."By the way, can you defend yourself?" asked Harry, looking at Aiden."Are you underestimating me?" cried Aiden, looking annoyed that Harry had underesti
A doctor is attending to Catherine. Aiden was standing outside the emergency room. With the assistance of the police, Harry was tracing Robert's whereabouts and securing the animals that Robert had captured.Aiden was seen sitting in a chair on the side of the door to the room. His gaze wandered forward. Fragments of the events of a few hours ago flashed through his head again. When Catherine protects herself and sacrifices her own life.I love you, Aiden.Those words rang in Aiden's ears and felt so suffocating."You need to get back to health, Cat." Aiden muttered, rubbing his face angrily.Not long after, a doctor came out of the examination room. He asked Aiden to follow him to his room."How is Catherine? Aiden asked when he sat in the chair opposite the doctor.Aiden looked so worried, and there was fear in his sharp eyes. The doctor seemed to take a deep breath as he adjusted the position of the glasses he was wearing."How?" Aiden asked very quietly. "He's fine, isn't he?""Mi
Snow is still falling faithfully in the city of New York.The cold air is so piercing to the skin. Someone seemed to be staring out the window. Staring at the snowflakes falling down. His gaze was blank."The air is very cold! shouted someone putting a coat on the body of a person sitting in a wheelchair.That person was Catherine, who sat quietly without saying much in the wheelchair. When he wakes up, he must recognize the fact that he is paralyzed. The second time, he could not move. According to the doctor, this will not last long. Catherine just needs regular therapy."Thank you," said Catherine to someone who was none other than Aiden.Currently, Catherine is still being treated in the hospital. And Aiden faithfully accompanies him. But after realizing this, Catherine didn't say much and chose to remain silent."You need anything? Aiden asked."No."Aiden was used to getting cold and flat calls from Catherine, but he didn't leave her. In fact, he still paid attention to Catherine
Catherine is seen working with her laptop on the gurney. Aiden was still sitting and watching her. Actually, Catherine had finished her work, which was just checking some reports. But he felt nervous and awkward being stared at like that by Aiden. Feeling embarrassed, Catherine finally looked at Aiden."Do you really have nothing to do? Why are you still here?" cried Catherine."What's wrong if I'm here? You yourself know that I'm no longer working," Aiden said casually.Aiden was used to being kicked out of Catherine's house. This isn't the first time."Then do whatever you want; why do you have to stay here all the time?" said Catherine."Because I have activities here. It's different when I sleep in the apartment. So it's better to be here, right? Besides, if I'm not here, who do you want to be with? Aiden exclaimed."I'm used to being alone.""Really. Then why, yesterday, when I went to see Mine, you were at a loss and contacted E
Aiden saw Mine sitting in the garden behind Catherine's house, looking at the artificial lake there. He walked over to Mine and sat in the chair Mine was sitting on."Still angry with Uncle? Aiden asked, making Mine turn to him and shake her head."Then do you want to listen to Uncle's explanation?" he asked."But won't you lie? Mine was asked innocently, making Aiden smile."Promise." Aiden raised his hand next to his head as a sign that he had promised."6 years ago. I met Mommy Catherine in an arranged marriage made by our parents. From the start, I told her that I already had a woman I liked and would marry her. Mommy Catherine understood, and she didn't accept the match," said Aiden."Time just went by, and we met again at a company dinner. From there, we decided to be friends because we felt like we suited each other," Aiden exclaimed. "Until one day I was drunk because my heart was broken because I had been betrayed. I recognized the
