Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 225

"Tomorrow."

"Are you really going to expand your business in Zurich to Edinburgh this time?"

"Yes."

Molly thinks that only she and Robert will come to Edinburgh to complete the cooperation project, but she does not expect Troy to go there in person. After learning about it, she realizes that besides the project of cooperation between the two companies, Tory has other plans, which is to develop Charlie Group's brands in the mainland, not just Edinburgh but the whole country. He's just going to start it in Edinburgh.

Molly doesn't understand why Troy suddenly makes such a decision, but subconsciously, she feels that it is not as simple as making money.

The next day, Robert arrives at Edinburgh. In the afternoon, they go to see the factory. Troy is preparing to build an office building as the first branch to enter the mainland.

"What did the board say?"

He asks Robert next to him.

"What can they say? Do they have the ability to change what you decide?"

"You go to help me pick a house this afternoon."

Robert's eyes widen in surprise, "You don't want to settle here, do you?"

"I can't go back in a short time, and I may come here often in the future. I don't like staying in hotels."

"Oh, I see."

Robert finds a house for Troy on the same day. When he takes Troy to see it, he explains it more wholeheartedly than the staff of the real estate company, "This area has beautiful scenery, good sanitation and better public security. I've seen more than a dozen houses, and there's none more suitable for your taste than here."

Troy gets into the elevator with little interest, "As long as it is liveable."

He doesn't tell Robert that he has already seen the woman, and even if he doesn't say it, Robert will look for her.

After two days of inquiring in secret, Robert finds the place where Karin works. As soon as Karin saw him, she wants to escape in a hurry, but is stopped by him.

"Miss Karin, let's find a place to talk."

"No, there's nothing we can talk about."

She thinks that Robert has been sent by Troy, and she is not very friendly.

"Mr. Troy doesn't know that I come to you. It was Billie that asked me here. This is purely my personal behavior."

When she hears Billie's name, her attitude softens. It's the rush hour from work and it's not good to be seen by her colleagues talking to an unknown man. So, she nods, "Let's go."

After getting in his car, they go to a nearby cafe.

"Have you had a hard time in the past few years?"

Robert asks helplessly.

"No. How is Billie?"

She doesn't want to talk about her past with people in the past, so she naturally turns the topic to her friends.

"She's not very good."

"What's up?"

Karin is shocked. She hasn't contacted Billie in the past five years, so she doesn't know anything about her.

"After we got married, she was unable to conceive a child. In the first two years, she was busy making visits to doctors everywhere. In the third year, she finally got pregnant. She had a miscarriage within three months. After six months of recuperation, she was pregnant again. And she lost the baby again. She's been hurt badly. The doctor said she had a habitual miscarriage. Last year, she almost lost the courage to move on..."

"How did it happen?"

Karin is heartbroken. She never thinks that Billie, who looks healthy, would have a habitual abortion.

"We can't find out the specific reason, but she's better now. This time, I planned to come to Edinburgh with Mr. Troy. But because Billie is pregnant again, I was delayed for two days. This is her last attempt to get pregnant. We have been both at the age of thirty, if she can no longer successfully give birth to a child, we decide to adopt one. We can't force her to death because we want a child."

Originally, Karin thinks she lives a hard life. At this moment, it seems that Billie's life is even more difficult than her. She can understand her desire to keep the child. How strong she has to be to survive from disillusionment after another...

"She heard that I was coming to Edinburgh this time and wanted to come with me, but I was afraid of another accident, so I didn't agree. She asked me to find you anyway and asked you to call her. She has a lot of words to tell you."

"Okay, I will contact her."

Robert takes a sip of the coffee in front of him, "Five years ago, Mr. Troy asked me to check your information. The result made him very sad. Are you with William?"

Her heart does a complete somersault, as if something has been torn apart. She says, "This is my personal business, I don't want to answer."

"Actually, even if you don't answer me, I also know that when you gave birth in the hospital, the father column in the hospital file is William's name. Then through some channels, I found that you were working in his company. It seems he really cares about you."

"Then you haven't found out if we live together?"

"Mr. Tory didn't let me continue the investigation. I always obeyed him. I was also afraid that the result of the investigation would make him sadder, so I gave up."

Karin thinks of the scene when she met Troy two days ago. If it's true as William said, Troy must be more convinced that Esme is William's child, and that she has been with William.

"It's all in the past. I don't want to mention it again."

She checks the time and says, "I have to go to the kindergarten to pick up my child. The nanny asked for leave today, so I'm leaving now."

Robert stares at her back, stroking his forehead and sighs. She does not deny that the child's father is William. It seems that her love with Mr. Troy will be difficult to reconcile.

The moon shadows are slanted, and the stars are shone. Karin walks alone under the moonlight, but the moonlight cannot warm her cold heart.

Karin is walking on the way back to Star River Community with the roasted sweet potatoes she just bought.

Esme says that she wants to eat roasted sweet potatoes, so she goes to buy them for her at middle night. She can't give her a complete home, so she wants to satisfy her in other aspects.

Walking to the front of the residential area, a car comes from the opposite direction. Then, a familiar figure gets out of the car. With a sound, the plastic bag she is carrying falls to the ground.

If the first encounter is accidental, then she doesn't know what the second encounter at the moment is. Troy is someone who shouldn't be here. Here is where she lives. Anyone may appear, but he is impossible…

The moment their eyes meet, she sees the same shock from the bottom of his eyes. Obviously, all of it is just an accident. Fortunately, she doesn't expect him to come to her. Otherwise, it will be so chilling to see such eyes.

Slowly squatting down, she picks up the plastic bag on the ground, lowers her head, and passes him just like the first time she met him.

"It seems that you have a good life."

His voice suddenly comes from behind. She thinks that they would never meet again in this life, but at this moment she hears the long-lost voice and is sober. The eyes without temperature, the tone without emotion, the joy of meeting in love, the regret of passing by and the pain that cannot be loved are all a fate that cannot be escaped.

"Yes, I'm having a good life."

After many years, no matter how much they loved each other before, it's none of his business whether she lives well or not. She doesn't want this man to know her hard life. If he knows, he will definitely say that this is what she ends up with as she gave up on him.

Walking out of his sight without looking back, what he can see is her stubborn back, and what he cannot see is the sad tears she sheds because of his indifferent words.

Troy is standing under the warm yellow street lamp, staring at a certain place, stunned. Isn't that what he wants? As long as he sees that woman is doing well, he can completely give up, and no longer remember her in his life. But why? Why does he feel so painful when that woman tells him that she has a good life? Is it just because he is content to see that woman doesn't live a bad life because of him while he has a rough time because of her?

Karin enters the house and finally doesn't have to pretend. She leans on the door and cries bitterly, covering her mouth. After five years, this man can still affect her feelings easily. He will never know that how hard it is for her to walk out his sight with such a strong attitude.

At night, she lies quietly on the bed, forcing herself to fall asleep. However, some scenes are ready to move, jumping out unscrupulously and disturbing her heart like water. She cannot forget the woman holding his arm. It turns out that he has never been lonely in these years.
