Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 181

He still doesn't say anything. Sighing, she no longer asks the reason. She just takes one of his hands and puts it directly on her chest. She says firmly, "Take it."

Troy's hand rests on her chest, feeling her heartbeat. The corners of his lips gradually appear a relieved smile.

"I give you my sincere heart. If you don't need it in the future, don't give it back to me."

"I can never live without your love. I just want more."

Troy gently hugs her, kisses her hair and says, "Karin, you know what? In the entire Charles family, no one make me feel the love. My sisters, Milan, Lily and Arya. None of them are happy. Even the parents I always thought they loved each other very much still betrayed their marriage. Only you can give me the hope. No matter when, I thank God for sending you to my side. If you don’t come to me, I won’t know what my life would be like. Maybe I have lived for responsibilities and promises all my life. Therefore, promise me never leave me, never betray me and always love me."

Karin is shocked. She has never known that Troy is so longing for love and afraid of being hurt. Her two hands slowly go up to embrace the man next to her.

"Troy, I promise you that I will not leave you all my life, let alone not love you."

Love without memories and without true heart is illusory, which is that her Grandma has told her. So at this moment, she can understand Troy's longing for sincere feelings better than anyone else.

So does she. She does not want the illusory love. She wants the true love.

The New Year's bell is about to ring. Karin has specially prepared a gift for Troy. On New Year's Eve, there are only two of them in Ziteng Garden. Although there are just them, the atmosphere is quite good.

Yuma went home for celebrating New Year two days ago. In the past few days, it’s Karin who has prepared meals by herself.

In the romantic and cozy dining room, she has made a lot of dishes. Troy walks in with two bottles of red wine and praises her, "Not bad. That’s like the New Year."

Karin takes off her apron and sits down at the dining table. She is resting her cheeks in her hands and asks, "How did you celebrate the New Year before?"

"Just like that."

"What?"

"Eat and then sleep."

"Who did you eat with?"

"Sometimes, I eat alone. Sometimes, I will eat with my three sisters."

Karin nods, as if she has got it. Troy chuckles, "Do you still want to ask me who I sleep with?"

"Humph, who would ask such a boring question?"

Karin glares at him angrily.

"By the way, I have prepared a gift for you."

Troy raises his eyebrows, "Really? I have also prepared a gift for you."

"What is it?"

Karin asks curiously. When he came back in the afternoon, he carried a beautiful paper bag. She has known it’s a gift to give to her at a glance, but she doesn't know what it is.

"Guess it."

"How can I guess out? Can you guess out what I want to give you?"

Troy shakes his head, "No."

"That's it. Why don't we give each other gifts when the New Year's bell rings?"

"Okay."

Karin takes her gift and puts it in front of her. Troy also puts the gift which is ready to give to her by the table. Looking at each other, the two are sitting at the table and drinking the red wine.

"Remove the outer wrapping paper."

"What?"

"The gift. You can see it right away when the bell rings."

Troy smiles, "You can't wait?"

"Of course. When I think about it’s my New Year’s gift, I’m so excited."

"Well."

He rips off the wrapping paper of the gift in front of him. Then he gets up and says, "I have to go to the bathroom."

"Go ahead."

Karin waves her hands and stares eagerly at the gray wooden box opposite.

"Don't take a peek."

"I won’t. But anyway, it's mine in the end."

Although Karin says she won’t take a peek, she still runs over. After Troy walks away, just when Karin is about to open the lid of the box, a voice comes from her behind, "Well, well. I just know you can’t wait to open it."

Karin slowly turns around and smiles awkwardly, "You’re so quick."

Then they go back to their seats and continue to have the meal. After eating, they sit on the sofa and watch TV together. Karin leans on Troy's shoulder, staring straight at the time clock on the TV.

At twelve o'clock, the New Year's bell rings. She has already been so sleepy. But when she hears the exciting bell, she suddenly jumps off the sofa and gives the gift to Troy.

"Yours."

Troy also gives her the gift.

Then they open the gift box together. Karin takes out a delicate necklace from the box. There is a pendant on the necklace. She asks in surprise, "What is this?"

"Heart-Lock necklace."

"Heart-Lock necklace? Whose heart is locked? Mine or yours?"

"The two of us."

Troy lightly presses one side of the pendant. Miraculously, the pendant opens like a shell. There are two heart-shaped diamonds close together in the middle. Troy presses it again, then the pendant returns to its previous shape.

"Wow! So beautiful."

Karin exclaims, "But if the diamonds are placed outside, it will be great. They’re inside. No one can see them."

"It has a special meaning."

"What?"

"The diamond is carved into the shape of a heart, because the diamond is precious enough, just like a human heart. Although it is hidden inside and others can't see it, we can see it ourselves."

Karin suddenly understands, "It turned out to be like that. Thank you, I like it very much.

Troy opens her gift, which are two silver couple’s bracelets. He observes it carefully.

"Did you see anything?"

"It looks pretty ordinary. Is there anything special?"

"Yes, find it out yourself."

Troy looks at it carefully again, but still doesn't see anything.

Depressed, Karin takes the bracelets and points to a place on the inside of the bracelets, saying, "Here, there are words here."

"T, C?"

"Yes."

"What does it mean?"

"The abbreviation of your name."

Troy takes out another one. What engraves on it is "Karin".

"Your name?"

"Yes."

"One per person?"

"Yes."

He hands over the bracelet with her name to her, "Here you are."

"Idiot! You should give me Troy."

"Why?"

"Because only Troy belongs to me."

Karin puts the bracelet with Karin’s name on his hand, "Karin can be yours."

Troy smiles brightly and stretches out his hand to hold her into his arms, "Wow, it’s so good."

Troy puts a few hairs on her ears behind her ears, "Would you like to give a call to your parents?"

"I'm about to call."

"Then will you tell them that we are getting married..."

"I'll tell them it tonight.
