Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 207

Troy turns on the lights and finds her sit in the sofa alone. He asks gently, “Why not go to bed?”

“Let’s have a talk.”

Karin looks at him remorselessly, “Have you read William’s e-mail?”

After a moment of silence, Troy nods. “Yes.” He’s calm as usual.

“Also the photos?”

“Yes.”

She instantly rises to her feet and questions him, “Why? Why to pretend as if you know nothing? Why don’t you tell me you can’t bear it? If you want to keep secrets from me, we can’t get married. Why don’t you tell me?”

Karin cries and throws her fists at her chest. She used to think the most terrible thing is to see him indulge himself in wine, but now she realizes the worst thing is to see him hide all his emotions away. If he continues his abnormal behaviors, they can’t be happy after getting married…

Then Troy press her down to sit in the sofa again. Looking into her eyes, he asks her, “Were you on the pill after that night in the hotel?”

She’s dumbfounded and shakes her head. “No.”

“Why?”

“Because I don’t think there’s anything happened between us.”

“Do you still think so now? After reading the e-mail.”

“Troie, I know you mind the words in the e-mail, but you can’t believe William’s words. You know he doesn’t want us to get married, and his e-mail holds intent.”

“Then tell me what it is?”

Karin looks down at the floor and answers, “He may just want me to remember him forever.”

“Why?”

“Because he purposely conceals the truth to prevent me from getting over it. And I’ll think of him from time to time.”

Troy sneers, “It’s your own thoughts. What if he has slept with you? Have you thought about the terrible consequences?”

“I felt too awful to think of the possible consequences.”

“But you’ve been on the pill when we’re together, right?”

Karin’s shocked as she doesn’t understand why does he asks her about strange questions. When she’s about to answer his question, he just laughs at himself.

“Do you think I can’t accept the facts? He sneers, “You’re wrong. The photos and e-mails mean nothing to me as you’re the one I really love. And I can bear more.”

“What else?”

“You’re pregnant.”

Then he can’t suppress his sadness anymore. He’s been suffering ever since he got the news…

Karin almost passes out again, then she holds Troy’s hand and seriously utters, “Troie, I haven’t been on the pill since you proposed to me. I wear to God I’m telling you the truth. Please trust me…”

Troy slowly pulls back his hand. “Then why did you pause for a moment when I asked you?”

“No, I didn’t. I was shocked that you asked me strange questions. I was about to answer when you suddenly broke in. Do you think I’ve got William’s baby?”

She’s almost dying as her heart hurts…

“It has been four months since I proposed to you. But you got pregnant last month, during which you spent a night with William. Are you going to say it’s a fucking coincidence?”

“It must be. I was just off the pill, and I couldn’t get pregnant at once. I never want this to happen as I wanted it to be a surprise for you.”

“A surprise for me? Don’t forget what you’ve told me? You said you’d never get pregnant until we’re married. Now you’re pregnant, you tell me it’s a surprise for me? Do you think I’m surprised?”

“Okay. I’ve said the words to you, but I said when you were going to marry another woman, which got me pissed off. They’re impulsive words, and you know I didn’t mean it. I love you so much that I’m willing to have your baby.”

“Do you think I will believe you now?”

Troy levels her with a hard look and leaves the room.

Looking at his back, Karin is dumbfounded. When she realizes what happened, she hastily runs out to chase Troy, only to find he’s left.

Sinking onto the floor, she cries sadly and throws her fists at the floor. Now Troy begin to hate her…

Yuma hears her crying and comes to her, holding her in her arms, “What’s the matter?”

“Yuma, I’m pregnant, but he doesn’t believe the baby is his…”

Yuma knows all the things between Karin and Troy, though, she gets confused when she hears the news.

“That’s why you passed out today?”

“Yes.” Karin nods in tears.

Yuma pats her head. “I happen to get downstairs to pour tea for the doctor, not knowing the reason why you passed out.”

“Don’t you believe me?”

“It’s just the time is not perfect. You can’t prove it’s Troy’s baby.”

Yuma frowns. “Troy wants to believe you, but the fact is…”

“What should I do?”

“He must be sad now. Leave him alone today. Talk to him tomorrow.”

Karin knows that the destiny is the most ruthless in the world, but she used to believe she can fight against the destiny for her rights to control her own life. However, it’s obvious that the destiny wins out.

She stands in front of the French windows and stares at the starry sky. She thinks of Buddha’s sermon of “One flower, one leaf and one Buddha”. And a famous Chinese poet said, “One life, one world and one couple.” They are all stories. Tragedies or romances, no one knows.

She goes to the Charlie Group the next day and explains to Troy for the last time, “Troie, please trust me.”

Without any sleep, Troy looks exhausted. He levels her with an unassuming look, rising to his feet. “I’ll take you to a place.”

“Where?”

He grabs her away and take her out of the company. He directly takes her into the car and drives her to a hospital.

“What are we doing here?”

Karin suddenly has a bad feeling.
