Capture Your Heart

Chapter 200 The Truth Always Hurts 1

He eventually pushes her away and walks forward without looking back. Karin knows that if she lets him go now, their love will be gone forever.

She desperately chases after him and grabs his arm, "Troy, does it have to be like this? We've been through so much, must we break up over such a misunderstanding?"

Troy looks at her indifferently, then, coldly draws back his hand, and replies her in an even colder voice, "Go back, I will think about it carefully and give you an answer when I have considered it clearly."

He closes the door with a bang and the quietness of this dark night comes back again. Karin is stunned for a long time before she takes out her mobile phone and calls Robert, "Come and pick me up."

With a final glance at the door that separates her from Troy, she leaves the house alone, the streetlight elongating her shadow. It is as thin as a sheet of paper, as if a gust of wind could blow her away to anywhere.

Standing in front of the second floor window, Troy, with a glass of wine in his hand, stands in the darkness, gazing at the thin figure with an unspeakable heartbreak, thinking the girl who makes him believe in love, and finally let him down again and again...

He closes his eyes, turns around, takes a sip of red wine, letting the cold liquid flow down his throat, and some memories, good or bad, are circling in his mind.

"Troy, you have kissed me on my forehead, if I do something wrong in the future, you will forgive me right?"

"Yes, I will forgive, no matter what you do."

So, that is when she started praying for his forgiveness, no wonder she was sulking all the time, and now, finally, it is all clear.

Karin stands on the beach, with the sea breeze blowing her long hair, gazing at the untraceable sea in front of her, she doesn’t know what Troy's final decision will be, but she is ready to accept it.

Robert drives the yacht over here and she calmly sits on it. For two days and two nights, she has been trying to beg for his forgiveness, but the result is unsatisfactory.

"Do you want to give up now?"

Robert holds back for a long time, but finally couldn't help asking.

She shakes her head, "No, I just want to give him some time to calm down and think it through."

"It takes some time to heal when something like this happens."

He pauses for a moment, "I know you're upset, but please be more understanding of Mr. Troy, he's not like other men, he lost his parents at an early age, he's supporting a huge family business all by himself, he has no expectations of relationships due to his internal and external problems. It is your appearance that gives him hope again, and changes his causal attitude towards life. It is very pleased when he broke off his engagement with Mia despite everything, because it was the first time I saw him wanting to take responsibility for his life, and likewise, without you, his life would probably be the same as it is in the past again, so I solemnly ask you that whatever decision Mr. Troy makes, don't give up on him, okay?"

"If I don’t give up, are you sure I will win him back in the end?"

"You will, I know Mr. Troy, I know more about his feelings to you, as long as you persist, even if he can't accept it now, but one day he will forgive you, if it isn't for his parents' problems, he wouldn't care so much about it, his father betrayed his mother, so in his heart he is very repulsed by such a thing, what he really can't forgive is not you, but the betrayal happens in his life."

Karin nods blankly while smiles bitterly, "Don't worry, I won't allow myself to give up until I have to."

As time goes by, a week has passed, and it is heard that Troy has returned and he goes to the office every day on time, only that he doesn’t return to Ziteng Garden.

Karin also doesn't take the initiative to look for him, because he has said that he would give her a clear answer when he has thought it through, so she could not go to find him or do anything else but wait patiently.

During the afternoon break, Billie knocks on the door of the president's office, and as soon as Troy sees her, he understands immediately what brings her here.

Before she could say anything, he says first, "I don't have time to listen to anything other than work."

"You don’t have time to listen or you don't want to listen? I'm not meeting you as an employee at the moment, I'm talking as a close friend of Karin, so please take some time out even if you don't have time."

"This is our own business, and I will handle it on my own way."

"So your solution is silent treatment to Karin? Do you know how haggard Karin has become? She can't eat or sleep every day, she's dying of depression because of you, how can you be so cruel?"

"Is it because of me? Who is the one that makes things like this?"

Billie freezes for a while, "Yes, it is not because of you, but it is not because of Karin either. She has no intention to cheat on you! Haven’t you heard about it's better to have an open enemy than a false friend, that's what people in your position should know and understand, right? Now what happened has happened, it's not the time to torture each other, but to find out the truth. Even if Karin doesn't go to the bar for a drink, if someone is determined to cast a bone between you and Karin, they will still do it in

other ways. Not because I'm Karin's good friend that I'm speaking up for her, but I really think she has really suffered a lot for you. I have known her for a long time, and known her more than anyone else. She is a very decent girl that she even won’t speak to any guys she doesn’t know, let alone going to the bar and hooking with other guys. That time she went to the bar drinking I dare to say it is the first time she has indulged herself in 26 years, but the God is so harsh on her, even if it is the only time she indulged herself, she has to pay a heavy price, so I sincerely ask you to be understanding and tolerant. Last time you secretly got married with Mia behind her back, Karin forgave your betrayal anyway. So this time, let's say you two are clear."

Troy raises his head and says to Billie word by word, "Love can not be calculated. It is not that I betray her once and she forgives me, then next time, she cheats on me, I should forgive her in return. If we don’t learn from our mistakes or take the responsibility, sooner or later, the two of us will be numb to each other."

"Fine, I take back my last words, but do you listen to all those things I said to you before?"

"Get out, I'm busy."

"So what exactly do you intend to do?"

"Get out."

Troy’s word are short and cold, and Billie stomps her foot in chagrin, reluctantly walking out.

Just as she leaves the office, she meets Robert right in front of her, the two of them haven’t seen each other for many days, and the only connection they have is when he took the initiative to call her and talk about Karin and Troy last time, and she hung up on him as soon as he finished the talking, that strange sense of detachment as if the two of them have never been emotionally involved.

She lowers her eyelids and walks past him. In the past, she would have been happy if she could meet him like this, but now, she doesn't care anything.

Love, too, would die slowly in the long waiting.

When her arm is suddenly tugged by someone, she turns around coldly and says, "What's the matter?"

"Don't you even say hello? Just ignore me like that?" NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

She smiles mockingly, "If you think I don't have you in my eyes, that's perfectly normal, why should I look at the guy who has never put me in his heart?"

Shaking off his hand, she walks away without looking back and walks into the lift room, with the door closing until she couldn't see him.

Finally not having to pretend to be strong, Billie squats down, hugging her knees with both hands and whimpering, thinking she is fine, thinking she is still the same spontaneous self she used to be, thinking that she could live a good life even without love, until the moment he grabbed her just now, when she realized that her heart would still care and be hurt, that she would still have the naive thought that wanted him to say to her, "don't leave me, because I love you."

When she returns to her office, she doesn't hesitate to type her resignation, not on a whim or impulse, but something that she has planned long ago, and at some point with a little stimulant, she just wants to end it earlier.

After finishing her work in the afternoon, she calls Karin and asks her out for dinner, and they meet at a Chinese restaurant near the University of Zurich.
