He nodded and replied faintly, "Yes!"
I gaped at him. "Are you really going to marry her?"
He mumbled another "yes" but seemingly didn't want to offer any more information.
I put down my cutlery and looked at him thoughtfully. "Aaron, I don't care what kind of feelings you have for Eunice. I won't agree to this relationship. You clearly know that she is just a gold-digger. If you bring her into the Reid family, how do you know how she's going to treat Carney in future? I don't object to your marriage with another woman, but marriage is not a joke. You clearly know what kind of woman you want to be with for the rest of your life. You still have a son, yours and Yana's. You can't just get married to the first woman you come across, you have to think about whether she'll be a good stepmother to Carney."
He was startled by my reaction. He looked at me and said, "Marriage is marriage, it makes no difference who I choose to marry!"
"Yes, there is no difference, but you have to think about the consequences of your actions and your choices. Uncle Charles is getting older, he can't take care of Carney forever, are you willing to let a woman like Eunice take care of Carney? Can you guarantee that she will not do anything bad to Carney? Even if you want to get married, you should at least think seriously about what kind of woman you want to spend the rest of your life with. You can't just settle for the first one that comes along. In short, I'm telling you now that you can't marry Eunice, otherwise, the relationship between us will definitely end," I said.
He looked at me, and couldn't help but laugh. He said feebly, "Okay, I won't marry her. Don't worry about it. It's rare to see you care so much about me. I won't get married. You should be the one to take care of Carney in the future."
Aaron was getting more and more outrageous. I was speechless and was just about to open my mouth and tell him off, but after a moment's hesitation, I gave up and replied, "Don't contact Eunice anymore. She's not loyal to you, anyway. If you end up catching some kind of disease from her, you would be in trouble."
When I answered the phone last night, I obviously heard the panting of a man on the other end of the line. We were all adults. I was not a fool. How could I not understand what she was doing?
Yet at that time, she still called Aaron. Did she really think that Aaron was a fool? Or did she think she was so charming that everyone would like her, even after her heinous behavior?
Looking at my angry face, Aaron sighed and said, "Alright, I got it. I'll listen to you in the future. Don't worry about that woman. I'll get rid of her."
Seeing that he hadn't been taking Eunice seriously, I was relieved. I lowered my head and continued to eat my breakfast. Aaron had something to take care of at work, so he left soon after.
I went to the hospital. Although the surgery for Anne was successful, it was still a major operation, so I still had to go to the hospital to check on her every few days.
I needed to observe her status after the operation.
"Her recovery is successful, she's making very good progess. If she doesn't relapse in five years, there won't be any big problems. Pay attention to her lifestyle habits. Then, everything will be fine," the doctor reminded.
The doctor gave a few simple instructions after his examination and left. Valerie and Pedro sighed in relief. During these few days, everyone was very anxious, afraid that something would happen.
Now that Anne was fine, we were all feeling better too.
