When Katrina's face turns red, and she refuses to admit it, Aaron doesn't embarrass her.
Whether she deliberately saves money for him or not, he's in a good mood.
""I won't lock you up every day anymore. If you want to go out, you can go out if someone accompanies you. You can go shopping, get a beauty treatment, and watch a movie… As long as you don't leave Hadley City, you're free to do anything.""
Only now does Aaron realize that if Katrina is kept in captivity all day, it's easier for her to be unhappy, and it's more likely to make her feel distant with him.
He works outside every day but ignores her feelings and how bored she must feel at home every day.
After taking her out, he realizes how bright and real her smile is.
Perhaps he should give her as much freedom as possible.
Hearing Aaron's words, Katrina is shocked.
She grabs Aaron's hand in disbelief and asks, ""Aaron, are you really going to let me go out?""
""Why, are you unwilling?""
""Of course, I'm willing!""
This is great!
She doesn't have to sit around the house all day, and she can finally go out!
God knows how excited she is when she hears the news. At that moment, Aaron is very handsome in her mind.
This is what happens after being oppressed. When Aaron gives her a few privileges, Katrina is immediately grateful and excited. She forgets that freedom is her own right.
Aaron lets her leave the house, but she can only do so if she has his men with her. Although it's uncomfortable to be followed around by several people, she's a stranger in Hadley City and has no friends in this place.
It's enough for Katrina to be ecstatic.
Aaron can see the happiness glowing on Katrina's face. Her eyebrows are curved, and all her emotions are written on her face. Moved by her joy, Aaron is in a good mood. He takes the opportunity to ask, ""Why don't you show your gratitude?""
He gave in so readily to her, will she give him anything in return?
With a blush, Katrina tiptoes hooks her arms around Aaron's neck and gives him a quick kiss on the cheek. It's the only way she can think of to express her gratitude to him. She's penniless and relies on his money when they go outside.
The quick kiss seems very superficial.
But Aaron's lips are slightly crooked, and the simple kiss makes him happy.
It's the first time since they met that Katrina initiated to kiss him.
Just then, a soft voice reaches them.
""Mommy, I want to eat ice cream.""
Aaron looks up and sees a little girl holding her mother's leg, pointing to a nearby ice cream store.
Aaron frowns. It reminds him of the first time he took Katrina to the mall when she pointed at the ice cream store and said she wanted ice cream. Although what happened next was bad, he could never forget her soft and coquettish tone.
Since he's hanging out with her, of course, he wants to meet all her demands, including the ice cream she didn't get the first time.
Without saying a word,
