Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 182

Karin goes upstairs with her phone and summons her courage to dial the number of her parents. The phone beeps for a long time but no one answers. She waits for a while and then continues to call, but still no one answers.

Frowning, she suddenly thinks of that her parents won’t be at home on New Year's Eve.

She slowly goes downstairs and sits back on the sofa.

"It's over so soon?" Troy asks in surprise.

Karin shakes her head, "No one at home."

"No one at home?"

"They should be with my Grandma. They spend every New Year's Eve with my Grandma."

"Oh."

"I'll call them again later."

Karin changes the channel and gets into Troy's arms.

"How about having a drink?" Troy suggests.

"Drink again?" They have already drunk during the dinner, haven’t they?

"Yes."

Standing up, Troy goes to take a bottle of wine and two glasses. Then he pours two glasses, and hands one glass to her, "Take it."

"I can't drink anymore."

"It’s red wine."

"Red wine will also make me get drunk."

"Drinking less is okay."

He insists. She has no choice but to take it. They clink glasses. Then Karin takes a sip.

It seems that it tastes good, so Karin takes another sip.

In less than half an hour, Karin drinks the glass of wine up. She is indeed a little drunk. Her cheeks turn into red and there is some sweat on her forehead. She looks so adorable now and makes Troy want to take a bite.

"I feel dizzy..."

She throws the glass to Troy and murmurs, "I has said I can't drink at all."

Lying in his arms, her face turns redder. Squinting slightly, she exhales and inhales, then still exhales and inhales again.

"Do you feel hot?" Troy looks down at her.

"Yeah." She nods.

Hearing what he wants to hear, Troy turns off the TV, carries her and walks towards the bedroom.

When everything is over, Karin feels that her whole body is really so sore. Then she realizes the sex they have done is schemed by him.

Someone who has accepted his friend's opinion and gotten what he wants hugs her back into his arms and lets her lie on him.

Karin gradually becomes drowsy and then she closes her eyes obediently. The emotions in Troy’s heart almost rush out. He looks at her face and kisses her eyes silently.

"Troy..."

"Yep?"

"It turns out……"

Troy holds his breath, "What?"

"It turns out...you like... me to wear the uniform."

After Karin says it, she falls asleep completely.

The next day, when she wakes up early in the morning, there is no one beside her. Staring at the messy bed, she remembers the fierce sex last night. She blushes immediately, and then goes into the bathroom barefoot.

After taking a shower, she goes downstairs. Troy is taking a photo with a digital camera in the garden. Karin doesn't know what photos he is taking. He is keeping clicking. Whatever he sees, he will take pictures.

Pouting, Karin stretches her arms, and takes a deep breath facing the rising sun.

Hearing the click sound, Karin opens her eyes. Seeing Troy looking at her with a smile, she immediately walks over and asks, "Did you take a photo of me?"

"It’s you who broke into my lens yourself."

He shows her the photo he has just taken. He smiles more brightly, "Wow, it's really good. I can't tell if I’m good at taking photos or you are pretty."

Karin takes a look. It’s indeed very beautiful. Under the beautiful sunlight, her long and wet hair is draping over her shoulders. She faces the sky with her eyes closed. The smile on her fair face is as bright as a flower.

"Are you so idle early in the morning?"

"I’m waiting for you to get up to prepare breakfast for me."

"Can’t you cook at all? Or are you just too lazy?"

Troy answers seriously, "No."

"Really? I thought men should know some cooking skills."

"It's normal that a man can't cook."

"Who said that?" Karin glares at him, "William is very good at cooking."

"Ahem..."

Troy coughs unhappily, reminding her not to mention other men's names in front of him early in the morning.

"I am going to cook."

Karin turns to leave, but she is stopped by him, "Wait a minute."

"What?"

"Let's take a photo."

"Oh, really? I heard it right? Someone who doesn't like taking pictures take the initiative to ask for taking a photo with me. Are you planning something? Forget it, I’m going to cook."

Karin wants to escape. Troy hooks her neck, clamps her under his armpit, and presses the shutter button with a click.

"Let me see."

"No."

Troy lifts the camera high, which she can’t reach. So Karin can only glare at him, "Well, well. Anyway, I can see you all day long. I’m a little tiring of it."

Then Karin turns around and goes into the living room. She’s starving, so she has to do some breakfast.

After breakfast, Kain goes upstairs with her mobile phone. She is thinking while walking. If it weren't for Troy's scheme last night, she would have called her parents last night.

Entering the bedroom and closing the door, she dials the number. She’s very nervous. Because she doesn't know if her father has forgiven her after so long.

Her father should have forgiven her. How can a father not forgive his daughter? She comforts herself.

When the phone is connected, she is relieved when she hears her mother's voice. She says, "Mom, it's me, Karin."

Jane is a little startled. She deliberately lowers her voice, "Why are you calling now?"

"It’s the New Year. I called you last night. Did you go to Grandma’s home?"

"Yep."

"How are you and Dad going? Is he... still mad at me?"

"We are fine."

Hearing her mother only answer the previous question, Karin's heart begins to sink, "Dad still refuses to forgive me?"

With a slight sigh, Jane says, "He almost forgave you. But Barry’s mother couldn't help but talk nonsense everywhere. Now the neighbors all know your matter. You know your Dad. He can’t accept being gossiped by others. After being spread by Lucy, he feels ashamed, so..."

Karin is so mad, "I didn't do anything shameful. Why does Dad think so? What the hell does Barry’s mother want to do? After so long, she still makes trouble for me. Does she think it’s interesting? Mom, why do you just let her slander your daughter like this?"

There is no sound on the phone, but the phone doesn't hang up. After a while, there is crying.

"It's not that your Dad is stubborn, and it's not that Mom is weak and fearful. But we have already seen your Grandma’s ending. What can we do?"

Karin's heart is aching. How can she forget it? Grandma’s matter is a thorn in her parents' heart, which can never be eliminated.

"Mom, sorry..."

‘I'm sorry to leave you behind in order to pursue my love. I'm sorry to ignore your feelings because of a moment of anger. I'm sorry that you brought me up, but I don't repay you. I just kept making troubles for you...’

No matter how much sorry she wants to say to her parents, it is hard to let go of her deep guilt for her parents.

"But Mom, I'm very happy. Really! He loves me very much. We are going to get married."

Karin finally tells her mother that she’s going to get married. After hesitating for so many days, she still doesn't dare to tell her parents. But at this moment, she blurts it out, just because she desperately wants to let her mother know that she’s very happy.

There is a long silence on the phone. Karin’s heart sinks with the silence. What does it mean to get married? It means that she will stay in a foreign country forever. It means that she must give up her parents who has raised her up completely for a man.

"Okay, as long as you are happy, Mom blesses you."

Jane's tears fall down. It takes her a long time to say this sentence out to her daughter.

How can Karin not understand how sad her mother feels at the moment? But she doesn’t feel better than her mother. Every time she talks to her mother on the phone, her mother will cry on the other side, and she will cry on this side. Her parents are not wrong. She’s not wrong, either. The only thing wrong is that she falls in love with someone she shouldn’t love. She can’t say that falling in love with Troy is wrong. She can only say that she falls in love with the right person in the wrong place. So her love is always incomplete beauty.

It can't say it’s good, but it can't say it’s bad, either.

"Mom, will you and Dad come to my wedding?" Karin pauses and says nervously, "I hope you can come..."

Yes, every woman wants her family to witness her happiness. No matter what, she wants to let her father hold her hand into the church and give her hand to the bridegroom.

"Umm..."

Jane hesitates to say something but finally stops, "It might be a bit difficult."

"Are you worried that Dad doesn't agree? If Dad doesn't agree, I will go home with Troy tomorrow and ask for his forgiveness, okay?"

Before her mother can answer, Karin hears her father's roaring on the phone, "You answered her phone behind my back again, right?!"

Karin hurriedly says, "Mom, give the phone to Dad. Give him quickly!"

"He won't talk with you. That’s it. I have to hang up."

"Mom, don't. Just ask Dad to answer it. I just want to say a few words to him..."

"I'll talk with him first, and then call you later."

"...Okay."

Karin hangs up the phone dejectedly. Her tears keep falling down. It will be the biggest regret for her that she can’t get her father's blessing.

After crying for a long time, until the phone in her hand rings, she hurriedly wipes off her tears, sniffles, and quickly answers it.

"Karin, your Dad still refuses to answer your call. I have tried my best."

Jane sighs, "He let me tell you, don't go home. If you come back, he won’t let you go..."

The last hope that grows in Karin's heart before answering the phone is shattered. She finally can't help crying out, "Dad said that I don’t have to go home for the rest of my life? He doesn’t want me anymore, right? That's what he means, right?"

"No, he said that if you want to come back, come back in five years and bring your husband and children back with you."

"Why?"

"He said he didn't believe that you could change the gap between the rich and the poor. He doesn’t believe that the rich have true love. He doesn’t believe you and your Grandma will have different endings. He said that if you and that man still love each other after five years and you two have a child, you can come back. At that time, he will forgive you. But before that, he doesn’t want to see you. If you want to get his forgiveness, the only way is to let time prove that your choice is correct…"

After Jane finishes speaking, she hangs up the phone directly. Listening to the beep sound, Karin cries and says to the phone, "Dad, why do you have to do this? Five years? It’s not short. I hope to get your blessing when I get married so much, but why did you make a five-year-long agreement for me...?”

She questions it over and over again. Although she knows her father can’t hear it.

The crying attracts Troy over. He pushes open the bedroom door and asks, "What happened?"

Karin just cries and doesn't speak. In fact, even though she doesn't speak, Troy knows the reason. He frowns slightly, "If you can't get your father's forgiveness on the phone, I will accompany you back to London. Maybe it will be different after seeing him."

Karin shakes her head, "No, we can't go back now. I know my Dad's temper. If we go back, he really might not let me go."

"But going on like this is not a good idea. I don't want you to be there, but you’re still worried about your parents."

"I don't want to be like this either, but before the wedding, I don't want to make any new troubles. Even if I want to go back, I have to wait until the wedding is over. By then, even if my Dad still doesn't forgive me, at least he won't stop me leave."

Troy sighs lightly and nods, "Well then."

"Is there any news about Jacob?"

Troy’s expression turns into gloomy, "Not yet..."
