Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 112

She dares not to say anything. The door is pushed open. Yuma walks in with a flashlight in her hand.

Seeing the light, she breathes a sigh of relief and waves her hand vigorously, "Yuma, come here, come here."

Yuma steps forward and hugs her tightly, "Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid. I am here."

Finally, she doesn't have to face the darkness alone. She leans on Yuma's chest, as if she’s leaning on her mother's arms. The long-lost warmth makes her miss her mother. Her tears fall.

"Would you like... I'll give a call to Mr. Troy?"

She shakes her head, "No need."

"Okay, I'll be here with you." Yuma strokes Karin’s hair and says with a smile, "Why are you so afraid of the dark? I heard Mr. Troy say that you are very brave."

"All he saw is my bravery."

Karin sniffs, "Fear of the dark and bravery are two different things. It's like a person who can't swim but when he sees someone falling into the water, he will still go to save the person."

Early in the morning, when she wakes up, Yuma is no longer by her side. She looks out the window. The sky is clear. She lets out a long sigh of relief. The hardest night’s finally over.

She gets up quickly. After packing her clothes, she runs downstairs with her suitcase.

"Miss, are you going to travel again?"

Yuma stops her in surprise.

"No, I’m going to move back to school. Take care of yourself. I will come back to see you when I have time!"

She gives Yuma a big hug, and walks out the door without looking back.

"Miss, don't go. How do I explain to Mr. Troy if you are gone?"

"There is nothing to explain. Anyway, he won't care at all whether I leave or stay!"

Karin keeps walking. She has endured it for many days, and she can't bear it anymore.

"Miss..."

Yuma still wants to say something, but Karin has already walked far away.

She hurriedly returns to the living room and quickly dials Troy's cell phone. After a while, the call is connected, "Hello?"

"Mr. Troy, Miss Karin is gone."

"Where did she go?"

Troy's voice is very calm, and there’s no sense of anxiety.

"She said she was going to move back to the school dormitory."

After a short silence, he says, "I see."

"That..." Yuma hesitates to say, "Are you not come back to stop her? She just left."

"No, let her move out if she wants."

It takes Karin an hour to walk down the mountain. When she opens the door of the dormitory with her luggage, Billie is stunned.

"What's going on?"

"Nothing, I want to move back."

"Why moved back?"

"I miss you."

"Miss me?" Billie looks horrified, "How could it be possible? Tell me, did you argue with Troy?"

She’s silent for a while before saying, "Yes."

"Oh my god?"

Billie remembers the day when Karin left, she kindly said that if Karin quarreled with Troy, remember to come back to the dormitory. She would take Karin in. At that time, Karin scolded her saying such shitty things. Unexpectedly, what she said comes true.

"I don't blame you."

"But I still feel guilty. Should I talk to Troy?" By the way, she can take this advantage to see her sweetheart.

"No, you must not go to him, or I will break up with you."

"Is it so serious? What happened?"

Karin snorts in annoyance, "William. He said I was too close to William."

"William?" Billie is startled, and then laughs, "He’s jealous."

"I'm jealous! Do you know what? He has been with that Mia a few days ago. He promised to take me to Provence, but after Mia gave him a call, he disappeared. The trip was over. I said I would wait for him to return. He actually told me not to wait for him, and said that waiting for him was a kind of pressure for him!"

Karin is so angry when she mentions this. He wants to give her the silent treatment, right? Just don’t talk to her anymore! She’s not afraid at all!

Life continues as before. In addition to professional classes, Karin spends the rest of her time with Billie to listen to lectures outside of school. She strives to keep herself from thinking about Troy, and strives to return to her original free and easy lifestyle.

One night, the two returns to school after listening to the lecture. When they pass the school gate, Billie nudges her. Billie lowers her voice and says excitedly, "Look, who is there?"

Karin raises her head and follows Billie’s gaze. Suddenly, her body stiffens, and her paces stop.

"Hurry over."

Billie reminds.

She moves her legs and walks forward slowly, but when she passes by Troy, she doesn’t stop.

"Karin."

Troy calls her in a deep voice.

Billie drops a sentence, "I'm going back first." Then she runs away.

He walks up to her, "Just ignore me like that?"

"No."

"Did you really not see me?"

"I saw you."

"Then why did you keep walking?"

"What else can I do if I don't keep walking?"

He grins, "Are you calm now?"

"I have always been calm." She stubbornly raises her chin, "You’re the one who should be calm, aren’t you?"

"We should all calm down."

Troy points to the car behind him, "Get in the car first."

"No need."

"Do you want me to carry you in the car?"

"You are a person of status. Don't let others laugh at you."

Karin walks past him. But before she takes a few steps, she’s dragged back by him, "I haven't let you go."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"Follow me back to the Ziteng Garden."

"Impossible!"

She throws his hand away angrily, "I'm not a plaything that you can control. What? Huh? When you’re happy, you show the mercy to accompany me? When you’re upset, you just ignore me?"

"When did I ignore you?"

"When? You left me alone in the Ziteng Garden for ten days, and didn’t give me a call. On the stormy night, you knew I was afraid of the dark but you didn't even make a phone call. It's been almost a week since I returned to the dormitory. Yuma must have notified you, but you are only showing up now."

Karin questions him one after another. After having tolerated the grievances for many days, a surge of emotions floods into her heart. She can’t help but crying.

"Don’t cry."

He steps forward and hugs her. He gently wipes her tears. The deep affection in his eyes is the same as before.

"Go back with me. We have to talk."

"I said I won't go back!"

She struggles out of his embrace. She turns around to run, but Billie comes to her with the suitcase.

"What are you doing?"

She’s shocked, and asks Billie.

"Your luggage. I've packed it for you. Go quickly."

Billie hands it to Troy. He takes it and puts it in the trunk. Karin hasn't reacted yet. When she reacts, she hops in mad, "Billie!!!"

"Bye..."

This isn't annoying her most. What is annoying her most is that Troy picks her up from behind and throws her into the car. With the bang sound, the door is closed.

"Troy, you bastard!"

She yells in anger, "I said I won't go back. The day I went down mountains, I swore I would never go up the mountains again."

"You walked down that day. I am driving you up now, so your oath doesn't count."

"You rascal!"

"Whatever you scold now, I will teach you a lesson after we get to Ziteng Garden."

Then he starts the engine and the car drives out quickly. Karin’s really annoyed. She deliberately turns her head away to look out of the window and doesn't say a word to him.

When she arrives at the Ziteng Garden, she pushes the car door open hard and gets out of the car, and then slams the car door shut.

She walks straight into the garden without saying a word, past the beautiful wisteria trees, the sunflowers she planted, the swing she used to sit on, and then to the living room. She doesn't stop.

When she finally passes by Yuma, she still doesn't stop. Yuma is very happy to see her. Just when Yuma calls out, "Miss..." Karin has already run upstairs.

Then Troy also goes upstairs.

Yuma smiles. Finally, they make up.

Karin enters the bedroom and sits on the edge of the bed with her back to the door. Her shoulders are trembling. It’s obviously that she’s crying.

"Fine."

Troy squats in front of her, "I was so angry with you. Now what you did makes others feel like I did something bad to you."

She ignores him and turns her head away, not wanting him to see such useless herself.

"Okay, I admit I'm jealous. I'm a macho man. I just can't see you get close to other men, okay?"

Troy pushes her on the bed helplessly. Finally, he admits what he doesn't want to admit.

"Let go of me. You let me go. You bastard, nasty devil. You are narrow-minded. But you just know to vent your anger to me. I don't forgive you. I never want to see you anymore!"
