Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 157

After he locks the door, he begins to look for evidence that can prove Paul was lying. It was impossible for his father to have an affair with Mia's mother, and it was even less possible for his mother to make extreme decisions because of the psychological distortion caused by anger.

He doesn't believe it. He doesn't believe it at all!

Finally in his father's study, he finds an obsolete photo album on the bottom of the desk. He looks through the album and finds that it is full of photos of his father and Gloria, and none of them belong to his father and mother.

The album slips from his hands to the ground. Troy slumps down on the chair decadently, closing his eyes in pain.

As time goes by, he wakes up from despair. Then he slowly takes out the lighter, and indifferently lights the photo album without hesitation, watching them burn to ashes before his eyes.

He resolutely leaves the study, goes downstairs, and walks out with no expression. Just like he behaved when he came back, he doesn't say a word.

Passing by Mary, he stops and asks in a hoarse voice, "You have been working in our house for more than 20 years, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Troy. I came here when you were five years old."

"Then tell me, was the relationship between my father and my mother good?"

Mary is stunned, she dodges his gaze and replies, "Yes."

"Tell me the truth."

"They quarreled occasionally."

"For what?"

"I don't know. Ms. Evelyn loves you and your three sisters very much. She was afraid that you would be worried, so they only quarreled when you were not present. As a servant, it was not easy for me to inquire them in detail.”

After listening, Troy leaves without looking back. Staring at his back, Mary's heart feels inexpressibly sad.

After leaving Charlie Mansion, he drives to the nursing home where Gloria has lived. Over the past ten years, he has taken care of her to the greatest possibility, just because he thought that the Charles family owed her. Now, when he sees her again, he can't tell what he is feeling inside, both angry and sympathetic.

It is late at night, and Gloria is sleeping peacefully. He sits on the edge of the bed and stares at her hatefully. What delicate and beautiful face did she have when she was young, so that his father would betray his mother for the sake of her?

Gloria opens her eyes suddenly as if she has sensed that someone is looking at her. When she sees the person sitting by the bed, she screams in fright and covers herself with the quilt.

Looking at her shivering in the quilt, Troy fails to restrain his anger. He drags her out of the quilt, pinches her wrist and asks, "Tell me, are you the woman who had an affair with my father? Tell me, why did you intervene in my parents' marriage? Tell me, what happened that night ten years ago?"

Gloria is frightened by his cold expression and her body is trembling more seriously, "Let me go, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know anything!”

"How could you know nothing? When did you have an affair with my father? You tell me! Say it!"

Troy's anger becomes more and more uncontrollable, and Gloria is finally scared to cry loudly.

The crying alarms the nursing staffs in the nursing home. They break into the ward and see the patient trembling in the corner, while the person standing in front of her looks murderous. They immediately step forward in panic and ask, "Mr. Troy, what happened?"

"It's none of your business, get out!"

Troy pulls Gloria over, "Tell me, when did it start? Why did you have an affair? Was it my father who forced you to do it, or did you do it yourself for greedy vanity?"

"Mr. Troy, you will scare the patient, please calm down!"

The nurse holds up Gloria on the ground, and comforts Troy and Gloria.

Gloria cries more and more miserably. Her brain seems to be stimulated, and she can't help but smash things until she faints from exhaustion.

"Evelyn, I didn't steal your husband. Marcel forced me, he forced me..."

"Don't kill me...Don't kill me..."

Gloria is in a coma, crying and talking in sleep. Although what she says is a sleep talking, every word is like a sharp knife which pierces into Troy's heart.

When Troy leaves the nursing home, it is already two o'clock in the morning. The autumn wind is blowing and the leaves are flying, and his mood is as bleak as the scenery of this season.

Troy drives away. This time, he comes to his parents' grave.

With a bottle of liquor in his hand, he wants to get drunk. He hopes that when the sun comes out tomorrow, everything will be the same as before. Even if he can't get revenge in his life, it's better than letting him know the embarrassing truth at this moment.

He stands by the tombstone, looking at the photo of his parents on the tombstone. Back then, his three sisters said that they wanted to bury their parents separately. But he said that the couple who loved each other could not be separated, even if they died, they must be together forever.

Now, he has known how ridiculous he was.

“Ahhhh!”

The hysterical roar can't vent the anger in his heart, and he falls to the ground with a thump. He laughs, laughing sarcastically at himself.

He leans back on the tombstone, holds up the liquor in his hand, raises his head and drinks desperately until his heart is totally cold.

"Dad, Mom, in the past ten years, I have never stopped thinking of avenging you, and there has never been a day when my heart is not painful. But until this moment I finally know why I always failed to find out the truth, because the truth is so terrible and unbearable..."

"The family motto of the Charles family is commitment and credibility. I think that every generations of the Charles family must abide by it, but now I find out that the family motto is only aimed at me. Uncle Lennon disregarded brotherhood in order to obtain the right of inheritance, and the other uncles were also cold-blooded and ruthless for their own interests. And father, you have always been my pride, but you also bullied and persecuted an innocent woman. One by one, you all ignored the family motto, but made me bear a heavy burden for more than ten years... "

"If it wasn't for revenge for you and finding out the truth, I wouldn't hurt Mia, nor would I make up for what I owed her, let alone hurt my beloved woman. Obviously I want to be a man who values love and justice, but I still go on the opposite path. The people who make me follow this path are you..."

"I always think that you are the most loving couple in this world. Even because of you, I feel that love is great and precious, but I never think that everything is fake and false. My father loved my mother by using all his false feelings. My mother, who was as noble and beautiful as a goddess in my heart, would actually ruin two families and three lives because of crazy jealousy. I really admire you. You make me no longer believe in love. It turns out that love can also be disguised..."

Troy is finally drunk. As he wishes, he is drunk without consciousness.

In the morning, Karin wakes up and finds that there is no one beside the bed. Feeling the cold touch on the bed, she realizes that Troy has not returned all night.

She takes out her cell phone and calls him. It has rung for a long time before the call is connected. A hoarse voice comes from the other side of the phone, "Karin, I'm in a meeting, what's the matter?"

"Where did you go last night?"

“Nursing home.” He answers briefly.

"Oh, I see. You continue to work on your own affairs, bye."
