Chapter 106: I’m a Baby
Chapter 106 - I’m a baby
Katherine had been in and out of the hospital room, the new room Aaron was wheeled into to recuperate. She’d called Mathew that day to let the twins stay with him until Aaron got better and explained the shit that went down about Amanda.
Understanding Mathew was, he gently accepted to have the kids with him until everything went well.
Katherine couldn’t wait to get past this stage and take Mathew out for a moment as a thank-you for being there for her. That man deserves better. She knew Mathew had feelings for her, and he didn’t hide the fact. He had confessed to her once.
Katherine remembered that day so well. She had just gotten her degree certificate, and Mathew took her out to celebrate the achievement as usual. Mathew always celebrated every achievement of hers—when her first book was published, when she successfully finished a skill she picked up—Mathew was there.
And that very day, Mathew took her to a high-top restaurant. The moment was going well until Mathew confessed. And Katherine really cried because she couldn’t be the one to give Mathew what he wanted. She was too broken to share whatever remained of her broken heart with Mathew.
But they agreed to brush that confession off, but that didn’t stop Mathew from confessing once in a while, and Katherine just dismissed it.
That was why she would do everything in her capability to make him also be happy rather than being a grouchy old man in a young man’s body. The world didn’t deserve Mathew at all. Even her, as a person, she didn’t deserve him. She didn’t even understand what he saw in her to be able to put up with her and love her with everything and anything he had.
Such a sweet, charming man. Katherine sighed deeply, rubbing her temple as she opened the door and entered the room to find Aaron already up. His bed was reclined in a chair position, and the towel and bowl in her hand shook—the bowl she brought in to wipe his face and clean him up till he woke up.
All her thoughts of Mathew disappeared as the air she was breathing freely ceased, and she stared at his face in disbelief. Despite how his hair and face looked disheveled, even pale a little, Aaron was still beautiful.
Aaron, noticing the presence, raised his head up and smiled lightly and spread his arms open. Without wasting time, the bowl slipped from her hands, lukewarm water splashed around, and she didn’t even care about it as she ran and jumped on Aaron.
Aaron winced a little from the impact, and Katherine wanted to pull away when she noticed it and wanted to hit herself for jumping on him, but he didn’t allow it and hugged her tighter.
