Chapter 733
Matthew smiled and said, "When we return to the country, we'll come and play with you."
"Okay, Mr. Grant, when are you coming over? I'm so bored here," said Aiden.
"Well, we'll be back next week." Matthew had asked before. He could leave after Katherine recovered. It would be around next week.
At the engagement party, Julian was surrounded by people. When he saw Linda smiling brightly, he suppressed the words in his heart. He did not want Linda to be sad on such a happy day.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Julian suppressed the depression in his heart and drank the champagne in his glass. Meanwhile, Linda led him through the crowd until they reached in front of Valerie and Matthew.
"Hello, Valerie," Linda greeted.
"Linda, Julian, congratulations. I wish you both happiness." Matthew also sent his blessings. Julian smiled and did not say anything. He just drank some champagne.
Seeing him like this, Valerie could not help but raise her eyebrows in pain. "Julian, don't drink so much."
He drank so much in one go, which was shocking.
"Today is a special day. I'm fine. I can drink. I'm happy," said Julian.
Hearing his words, Linda laughed. 'It doesn't matter. Since he is happy, let him drink more.' She knew what Julian was thinking. She thought, 'Some things don't need to be said. Sometimes, it's better to be a little muddle-headed.'
Seeing Julian in such a state, Valerie did not know what to say. She knew Julian was depressed. Julian raised his head and looked in the distance where Katherine was at.
He did not know what she was thinking now. Julian was at a loss when he thought of that passionate night with Katherine.
'I hurt two women at the same time.' With this thought in mind, Julian could not help but sigh and finish the champagne in his glass more frequently. Seeing him like this, Matthew patted him. "Alright, since today is a joyous day and you're engaged, you should cherish the people around you." Julian smiled bitterly. Of course, he also knew this principle. However, it was easier said than done.
The beautiful figure was always on Julian's mind. Linda could also tell it, but she firmly chose Julian and knew he was responsible.
Now that he was depressed, she would let him drink a few more cups to relieve himself.
"It doesn't matter. Since we're happy today, let him drink more. I'm afraid there won't be many peaceful days like this," Linda said.
When Matthew heard her say this, he could not help but frown. "Indeed, we plan to leave next week. Fierce battles are inevitable. It's better to plan early in a war-torn place like this."
Julian, who was drinking, suddenly stopped. 'They're going back next week? From the looks of it, Katherine will leave with them. It will be even more difficult for me to meet Katherine then.'
Katherine and the others were in Kranson City. However, Julian was only expanding the market for his business there, and he had almost done what he needed to do in Kranson City.
It was time for him to return. After returning, he would have even less chance to see Katherine.
Julian heaved a sigh of relief and took another glass of champagne. He drank it all down. Then, he thought, 'Maybe it's good that we never meet again.'
Seeing Julian like this, Valerie could not help but feel heartache.
On the other hand, Linda clenched her fists tightly. 'No matter what, Julian is my man.' With this thought in mind, she held Julian's hand and said, "We will. When we get married, you must come. I'm planning a wedding in Easmadenaire.
Hearing this, Julian could not deny it. Valerie only smiled and gave them her blessings. As for whether she would go or not, she would see.
The engagement ceremony was very grand. Everyone on the street was discussing it, and Katherine inevitably heard it.
However, she had no choice but to pretend not to know.
She hid in the ward and did not go out. From time to time, sounds could be heard from outside.
"I heard that Blue Boar Inn is very lively tonight."
"That's right. The little princess of a big family is finally engaged. Moreover, that man is a foreigner."
"Really? He looks quite handsome. He seems to have come to our hospital too."
"Yes, that's right. I've seen him before. He's super handsome and rich."
When Louis heard that, he walked to close the ward's door. He turned around and looked at Katherine. He wanted to say something but hesitated.
Katherine looked up and smiled. "It's
okay, Louis, I've already let go. Whether he gets engaged or married has nothing to do with me. There are many things to pursue in life. I don't have to waste too much time on love. I've already died once. I've
thought it through."
After experiencing that scumbag Dale and being forcibly brought overseas to be abused by him, Katherine, who was covered in injuries, realized that she still had a long way to go.
'Since Julian is unwilling to accept it,
I won't force him. After all, I have to live my life. I can't commit suicide again, can I? Otherwise, if I lead a miserable life, I'll let Louis and the others down after they came all this way to save me,' Katherine thought.
Hearing her words, Louis was finally relieved. He said, "Well said. It's good that you think that way. When you're better, we'll leave. We'll start over when we get home."
Katherine nodded, lay on the bed with her head tilted, and felt her heart ached.
She only looked strong, but how could she not be in pain? However, there was no turning back. She knew it wouldn't work out between her and Julian.
