Chapter 197
\nCapture Your Heart novel Chapter 197<\/p>\n
Here comes Troy\u2019s car. He gets off and walks to her.<\/p>\n
A satisfied smile curves his lips as he crouches down beside Karin, patting her head. \u201cYou are really waiting for me?\u201d<\/p>\n
Karin looks at his face without any expressions. She wants to say something but she can\u2019t as if a clog is stuck in her throat, not to mention her sweet smile she prepares.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s the matter?\u201d<\/p>\n
He looks concerned as he finds her weird expression.<\/p>\n
After a moment of deliberation, she answers, \u201cI\u2019m fine. It\u2019s just that I\u2019ve stood for so long that my legs are numb.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trying to cover her anxiety and upset, she bends down to rub her knees.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s my bad. Let me help you.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo. Let\u2019s get in.\u201d<\/p>\n
She stumbles and almost falls down to the ground, but Troy quickly grabs her from behind. Then he crouches down in front of her. \u201cClimb up on my back,\u201d he firmly demands.<\/p>\n
She has no choice but to climb up on his back and get upstairs with him.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow do you like it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s the first time I\u2019ve brought you upstairs with you on my back. How do you like it?\u201d<\/p>\n
She\u2019s dumbfounded. \u201cGood. I wish you\u2019d do it for me more.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCome on. I\u2019m exhausted for once.\u201d<\/p>\n
After entering the bedroom, Troy places her in the bed and sighs, \u201cIt\u2019s the first time I\u2019ve treated a woman like this.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIs it my honor?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou bet.\u201d<\/p>\n
He kisses her on the forehead with a smile. \u201cI\u2019ve got work to do. Then I\u2019ll come to keep you company.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay.\u201d<\/p>\n
Before leaving the bedroom, Troy looks back and says, \u201cI\u2019ll be back soon.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYep.\u201d She nods.<\/p>\n
Lying in the bed sadly, she stares at the message, which reads, \u201cLeave Troy, or you\u2019ll regret.\u201d<\/p>\n
She calls the strange number, but it has powered off. The bad guy threats her. If she doesn\u2019t leave Troy, the bad guy will send her photos to Troy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Suddenly, here comes another message. She\u2019s startled and her phone slips out of her hand by accident.<\/p>\n
But she decides to bring it up and face it.<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you sleeping?\u201d<\/p>\n
She\u2019s relieved as it\u2019s from Troy.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFine. Remember not to get asleep until I finish my work.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you want to tell me something?\u201d<\/p>\n
She asks with fear, but then she realizes that if Troy wants to question her about the photos, he won\u2019t look so happy.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot telling you but fucking you.\u201d<\/p>\n
She sighs and ignores his perverse message before deleting the message from the strange number.<\/p>\n
Covering her forehead with her overlapped hands, she continues her deliberation. She\u2019s got too much on her mind that she thinks that she sees her grandma walking to her with a smile.<\/p>\n
\u201cKarin, tell me about your troubles, and I\u2019ll help you\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandma, I have a secret I can\u2019t tell my lover, but I don\u2019t want to lie to him. If I tell him, he\u2019ll break up with me. I really don\u2019t know what to do. I\u2019m going crazy\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cJust follow your heart and tell him. Your love can\u2019t feed on a lie, you know?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShould I abandon this relationship with him?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s up to you as it\u2019s your business\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Then her grandmother leaves as she begs in screams, \u201cDon\u2019t leave me, grandma. Please don\u2019t leave me\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cKarin? Karin?\u201d<\/p>\n
Someone is gently calling her name. She suddenly flickers her eyes open and finds it\u2019s a dream feels so real. She really needs some directions.<\/p>\n
\u201cA nightmare?\u201d<\/p>\n
Troy holds her tight in his arms, wiping out all the sweats on her forehead.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n
She takes a deep breath. \u201cYou\u2019ve finished your work?\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cYep.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThen have a bath and go to bed.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy didn\u2019t you text back with me?\u201d<\/p>\n
Troy pinches her cheeks to show his dissatisfaction.<\/p>\n
She lowers her head to dodge his gaze. \u201cWhy to text with each other since we are in the same house\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHow boring you are.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t you want to tell me something first?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s talk about it over dinner. I don\u2019t want Yuma to overhear it\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou want to tell me a secret?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ll know it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then they drive to a restaurant where Karin enjoys the delicious food with Troy together. She really wants to save the happiness they have shared forever.<\/p>\n
\u201cWill you tell me the secret after dinner?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat about going to the cinema after dinner?\u201d<\/p>\n
Troy frowns. \u201cWhy can\u2019t you tell me about it now?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI will.\u201d<\/p>\n
She looks calm, however, she\u2019s anxious on the inside. She\u2019s afraid she\u2019ll never have the chance to eat out or watch movies with Troy like a happy couple.<\/p>\n
On the way to the cinema, Troy warns her, \u201cIf you don\u2019t tell me about it after the movie, you\u2019ll be a dead body.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDo you really want to know it?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course. You act weirdly today, and I\u2019m worried about you.\u201d<\/p>\n
She smiles. \u201cRemember to buy me popcorns!\u201d She redirects.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s ten o\u2019clock when the movie is over. Troy hastily asks, \u201cCan you tell me now?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s too noisy here. Let\u2019s find somewhere quiet.\u201d<\/p>\n
Troy rubs his forehead and sighs. \u201cYou\u2019re driving me crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Before Troy drives her to the destination, Karin suddenly asks him to pull aside.<\/p>\n
Troy feels confused as he pulls aside and follows her steps to get off the car.<\/p>\n
Standing under a sycamore tree, she sighs, \u201cThe second time I met you, you walked to me with sycamore leaves scattered on the ground. Your presence shocked me to death.\u201d<\/p>\n
Standing behind her, Troy feels bad as he hears her words. \u201cWhat\u2019s the matter, Karin?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI have a secret you don\u2019t know\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n
Karin slowly turns around with tears in her eyes. Sad as she is, she has to tell him the truth tonight.<\/p>\n
She takes a deep breath and tell him what happened between her and William. Then she\u2019s not brave enough to meet his gaze as she can feel the cold in his eyes\u2026<\/p>\n
Silence spills between them. Karin breaks it first.<\/p>\n
\u201cTroie, I don\u2019t ask you to forgive me. I just want you to know I\u2019ve never meant to cheat on you. Don\u2019t suppress your anger and disappointment if you want to reprimand me or beat me\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2736","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2736","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2736"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
