Capture Your Heart

Chapter 253 I Would Rather Die Beside You 2

She pouts, "It seems that I'm not very important to you."

"No. It's because I know that no matter how much I have to do, someone will be always there for me."

Her heart softens as she says, "How is it going on with your Uncle? Did it implicate you?"

"Although the murderer has not been found, it has nothing to do with me. Who am I? I am Troy."

"Troy is also a human being. Troy is not omnipotent."

She knows that even if something has gone wrong, he won’t tell her. Because he loves her. And he will only report the good news rather than the bad ones to her.

"It's okay. Don't worry about it. Did you go to Edinburgh?"

"Yes, how do you know?"

"Esme called me this afternoon."

Karin grunts, "She didn't even call me. But she called you. I've been raising her for five years for nothing."

"Daughters are closer to their fathers. And when we have a son in the future, he will certainly be close to you all day long."

She unconsciously blushes and laughs, "I don’t want to give you a son. I'm not a tool for you to pass on your legacy."

"What are you talking about? Children are the crystallization of a couple. And the more children they have, the more it proves that they love each other."

"Is that so?" Karin says in a skeptical tone, "Your parents delivered many children. But I can’t see how much they love each other..."

Troy interrupts angrily, "Don't hit where I hurt."

"By the way, all the time, I want to ask you about something. I forgot it before. And it suddenly dawns on me now."

"What is it?"

"Last time, I came to Edinburgh with you. Who was the woman who held your arms and called you Troie?"

He is suddenly stunned. and then he hurriedly explains, "Oh, you are talking about her. Her name is Molly Lee. She came to Zurich five years ago to look for her relatives. And she was almost defiled by a gang of gangsters. Fortunately, I saved her and later helped her find her father. She has always regarded me as her brother."

"What kind of brother? A man she loves?"

"Nonsense. I've always treated her like a sister."

"She deliberately called you Troie in front of me. It seems you get along quite well with her. Are you sure she only sees you as a brother? Does she have feelings for you?"

"I'm sure. She is a girl who knows how to act according to the actual situation. Knowing that I have someone I like in my heart, she isn’t going to have unrealistic thoughts on her mind."

Hey… Karin sighs, "You indeed don’t understand women. Sometimes, they don’t reveal what they are thinking about in their hearts. Because she isn’t completely confident, fearing that you can’t even be

friends in the end. if there is no love between you, why did she deliberately call you Troie? Tell me honestly, do you often condone her calling you like this?"

"No..."

Troy dares not to tell her the truth, fearing that Karin surely will be unforgiving if she finds out that he had taken another woman like her.

"Then how did she call you Troie?"

"For the word you can figure out, other women surely can figure it out as well. It's not a particularly intimate word. Don't dwell on it, okay?"

"No way. With a woman's natural intuition, I know that she called you so intentionally."

Troy reprimands her in a good-natured manner, "Are you bored without any love rivals? You should be happy that I don't have a woman. Instead, you insist on concluding Molly as my woman."

"I am understanding what the fact is. Well, it is strange. Rather than saving others, on usual days, don’t you dislike others save people? How come you acted differently to Miss Molly? Is it my leaving that awakened you? Or is it that when you encounter someone asking for help, you think to yourself, ‘if that woman had seen someone like this, she would have been overwhelmed with compassion again.’ Is that so? Is that what you thought at that time that you saved her back then?"

"Yes."

"Heh, then I indeed have to thank you for carrying forward the traditional virtues for me."

Troy senses the sour tone of her voice and puffs out a smile, "You are jealous, right?"

"What do you say?"

"I just saved a person. And it's been a few years. It is not a big deal, okay?"

"Then why did you act differently when I saved Jacob?"

"Can we not mention the past?"

"I did something you were unhappy with. You've been mentioning it all the time. However, after you did something I was unhappy with, you insisted that we should stop talking about it. The way you see it, it is so unfair. Shouldn’t I mention it?"

Troy sighs, "I know. You are not calling to be concerned about me tonight. Instead, you are deliberately arguing with me, right?"

She grunts, "Let's talk about it if I am there."

"Are you done arguing with me? Can you hang up the call and rest now?"

"Ok, let’s hang up the call."

She purses her lips, "By the way, remember to watch out for your second uncle. I always think he is not a good person."

"How does my second uncle offend you?"

"I submitted my resignation letter to William today. And he said a few words, making me feel that he and Emmanuel's relationship is extraordinary. In any case, keep a watchful eye on him."

"well, good."

"That's it then, good night."

As she is about to hang up the phone, Troy suddenly says, "Karin, in this world, I only trust you."

Her heart gently trembles. And she softly says, "Me too. I only believe in you in this world too."

The call tonight is the longest call they had ever made. And after hanging up the phone, Karin can’t fall asleep anymore. And she keeps thinking of the person across the ocean involuntarily, constantly praying in secret that they should solve all the trouble as soon as possible so that they don’t have to be separated in different places like this.

She carefully counts the days. Although she and Troy have known each other for many years, the time when they are together is few. And most of the time, they are in separation Their current situation is like this. And they live in different cities of different countries.

Three days have passed. And she is going to officially leave Edinburgh and go for a better future. After all, in the lowest mundane time of her life, she spent her time here. As she is about to leave now, she is more or less reluctant, feeling that she is attached to this place.

The night before the farewell, the colleagues getting along with her in the company join her for a farewell meal. William also shows up. The two of them don’t say a word. After the dinner, he proposes to send her back to Star River Community, she wants to refuse. But he says this is his last request. So she has to agree.

When she gets out of the car at the entrance of the residential quarter, she says goodbye, turns around, and leaves. She can't bear to see the look of despondency in his eyes, which she has seen in the car. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

"Karin..."

William shouts. She pauses and doesn’t turn back. Then William says, "When we meet again, I will not have any slightest feelings for you anymore."

"Very well."

She waves her hand and walks away without looking back, thinking that if they would meet again, she indeed hoped that he would not have feelings for her anymore.

Sometimes, love is a burden as well.

The frequency of Troy calling her is getting less and less. Originally, it was one call per day. And now it is one call every three days. According to Troy, if he calls them too frequently, the enemy hiding in the shadows will find out their location through satellite signals. And then they are most likely to use them as a bargaining chip to threaten him.

Hearing his explanation, Karin is convinced as well. In the end, he calls her every other week. Karin has long returned to London, working in a securities company. As for whatever he says, she believes him. Because in this world, they can only trust each other.

If Karin didn’t receive a call from Billie suddenly and unexpectedly, Karin would have been waiting for him in the old place.

Looking at the unfamiliar number, which is yet from Zurich, she hesitates briefly and presses the answer button, "Hello, who is it?"

"Karin, it's me..."

A choked call rings over the call, which is with a little sadness and a little sorrow. Karin is stunned, "Billie?"

"Are you okay?" Billie’s voice sounds very haggard. And Karin has a bad feeling as she says, "You, who are pregnant, can't use the cell phone, right? How come you're calling me?"

"I am okay now."

"What do you mean?" She holds her breath.

"The child is lost again. It is the fourth child I have lost..."

Billie wails on the phone. And her crying upsets Karin in her heart. She wants to say some words of comfort to her, only to find that she doesn’t know how she should comfort her. For a moment, she feels that her throat is choked and that she is like a mute.

"I heard from Robert that you are doing very well now. I am happy for you. Do you remember the agreement we made in the university dormitory? If I have a son in the future, I will let him marry your daughter. If you have a son, you will let him marry my daughter. Now it seems that this wish is no longer feasible."
