Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 217

After she finishes speaking, she meekly waits for him to express his attitude, but Troy says nothing and continues to drink.

"Stop it. Do you think your heart won't hurt anymore if you are drunk? Using the alcohol to numb yourself can't help with anything. You should get her back; don’t you think so?"

Troy still doesn’t speak, but he drinks more and more in a faster way.

"Enough, are you going to endure it forever?"

Robert snatches his wine glass.

"Don't worry about me, go out to greet the guests."

Seeing that he doesn’t intend to waver at all, the new couple sighs helplessly and leaves the box.

Troy continues to drink by himself. He can’t understand why the woman chose to abandon him. He keeps thinking about it every day, and he gets too tired, but he still can’t think of an answer. This makes him very upset. What makes it even harder for him to bear is that he hasn’t spent a day without missing her so bad for the past year...

Although wine can no longer numb his broken heart, it can still confuse his consciousness, making him not think about her so frequently, and allowing him to breathe even for a while.

The people who come to the wedding leave one by one. In the end, only Troy is there. He pats Robert on the shoulder, says nothing, turns and leaves.

"Can he drive like that?" Billie asks her husband beside her worriedly.

"I'll drive him home."

Robert runs out and gets into the driving position first.

Troy frowns in confusion: "What are you doing?"

"I worry about you, so I will send you back."

"I’m okay. It’s your wedding day today. The wedding night is invaluable, so you don't have to do your job today."

"You're drunk."

“Huh”, he laughs at himself. Actually, he hopes he is drunk, but unfortunately his mind is clearer than ever.

Sitting in the car, Robert starts the engine. Troy no longer lives in Ziteng Garden. About that place, it makes him feel breathless even by just looking at it. If he stays there, he will be suffocated sooner or later.

"Should I send someone to London to find out about Miss Karin?"

Troy shakes his head, "No need."

His gaze moves out of the window, and the expression on his face is cold and forbearing. After being silent for a moment, as if he is talking to himself, he says, "Her baby should be born..."

Robert is overjoyed, thinking that he finally shakes his determination not to find her back, "Shall we send someone to investigate and we will find out?"

"No need, why should we force her to come back since she has already left, don't mention it again in the future."

The hope that rises difficultly is shattered again. Robert glances deeply at him from the mirror, and shakes his head helplessly.

When the car is about to reach Charlie Mansion, a woman's voice calling for help comes from an alley. Robert immediately turns off the engine, and when he is about to push the door open and get out of the car, he hears him say, "Leave it alone."

The leg he has just stepped out is taken back abruptly, and he turns his head in surprise, "It seems that someone is calling for help."

"There are too many people in this world who need to be saved, can you save them all?"

Troy says these ruthless words coldly. How could he be so cold-blooded if it hadn't been because his heart is hurt.

Just because that woman is always so sympathetic, he and she have come to this point, so after she leaves, he is getting more cold-blooded.

"Should we leave it alone, for real?"

"Should I say it again?"

Robert swallows his saliva, closes the door sullenly, and restarts the car.

Troy casts his gaze to the alley indifferently, and can still hear the woman shouting and struggling, but he is unmoved.

Closing his eyes, he shuts himself into another world, in that world, there is no emotion, no love, only darkness.

"Pull it over."

Suddenly thinking of something, he opens his eyes blankly.

"Why?"

Troy doesn’t speak, but pushes the car door open and walks straight to the alley. Before Robert can react, he hears a cry of pain coming from the alley.

He understands immediately, rushes over and joins the fight.

Both of them are masters of Aikido, and in a short time, the gang either flee or are knocked out.

In the darkness, a woman curls up in the corner and weeps. Although her appearance is not seen clearly, one can tell her body is trembling violently.

"Miss, are you okay?"

Robert squats down and asks. She shakes her head, "I’m fine, thank you..."

Very soft and gentle voice, she should be a very effeminate woman.

"Where do you live? Do you need me to call your family to come over?"

"I have no family."

Robert's eyes widen in surprise, "Are you alone in Zurich?"

"Yes…"

"Mr. Troy, what should we do?"

Troy glances at the trembling figure in the darkness, and says lightly, "Take her with us."

"Why don’t you come with us first; it’s unsafe here."

"Okay."

The woman slowly gets up, follows them behind, and stops abruptly after walking a few steps.

"What’s wrong?"

Robert asks suspiciously.

She doesn’t speak, standing on the edge of darkness, her hands tightly hugging her body.

Troy understands why right away, he takes off his jacket blankly and throws it to her, "Put it on."

The woman takes the jacket and puts it on immediately before she takes another step.

Robert suddenly realizes that her clothes are torn apart by the gang just now. It can’t be seen in the dark. Once out of the alley, she will be uncovered.

He thinks to himself that Mr. Troy knows women better than him.

When the car arrives at Charlie Mansion, Troy gets out of the car alone and walks straight in. Robert says to the woman sitting in the car, "Hurry up."

She nods bewilderedly, pushes open the door and follows him.

"Marry, get her some clothes to change."

Troy instructs coldly, he is about to go upstairs, but is grabbed by Robert, "What should she do if you just go upstairs like this?"

"Take her to your house."

"To my house?" Robert shakes his head in horror, "Are you kidding? Have you forgotten what day it is? Today is my wedding day. Do you want me to get divorced tomorrow and ask me to take a woman back in the middle of the night?"

Troy looks at him meaningfully, staring directly at Robert, which makes him shudder, and he says, "It’s you who saved her. I'm going back to the bridal chamber!"

After speaking, he runs away immediately.

The woman comes out of the guest room after changing into some clean clothes. Only then does Troy see her looks clearly. There is no denying that she is a beauty. No wonder the gang followed her.

He walks to her, "Where do you live? I'll take you there."

The woman's eyes become gloomy. She lowers her head, and the crystal tears won’t stop falling. She just cries and says nothing.

Troy looks at the tears, and thinks of another woman crying in his head.

"Just go to the room where you changed your clothes and stay here tonight, and you can leave tomorrow."

He turns around and walks upstairs. When he gets to the door of his room, the phone in his pocket rings. It is a call from Robert. He is stunned and answers it, "What's the matter?"

"Mr. Troy, I wanted to ask you a while ago, but I am embarrassed in front of that girl..."

"What?"

"Didn’t you tell me to leave it alone? Why did you change your mind?"

Troy's eyelashes tremble lightly, and he says nothing, and hangs up the phone indifferently.

He stands in front of the window and looks at the incomplete semicircle in the sky. Yeah, why? Why did he suddenly change his mind?

In fact, he has been asking himself just now.

Although he doesn’t want to admit it, facts are facts. That alley is where he and Karin had hidden in. It was a long time ago, in that alley, he embraced her and kissed her.

It is just such an answer that prompts him to stop the car out of no reason. Although he said that they should not care, but he couldn’t help it.

After standing for a long time, when he is about to walk away from the window, he sees a petite figure in the courtyard, and she is looking at the sky intently.

She has a pair of innocent and big eyes exactly like that woman, as clear as a lake, especially when weeping, it makes people feel heartbroken.

Troy goes downstairs, walks to the courtyard, stands behind her for a while, and asks softly, "What's your name?"

She turns her head in shock and immediately replies, "Molly."
