Capture Your Heart

Chapter 267 Mia Commits Suicide 4

By the time they go back to Ziteng Garden, Yuma has gone to bed. And the two of them quietly go upstairs. Karin says, "I'll put some hot water on for you so that you can soak in the bath."

"Okay, thanks." Troy nods his head.

After taking a bath and coming out of the bathroom, he sees Karin sitting on the sofa waiting for her with two unopened bottles of red wine on the coffee table in front of her. Feeling surprised, she asks, "Do you want to drink again?"

"Well, Jacob’s case is closed. And you have been cleared of injustice. Let’s consider it a celebration."

Troy sits over, "Good."

She picks up a bottle of wine, pours him a glass, and pours another glass for herself, "Never should we go back home before we get drunk."

"I see that you are not yet drunk. Now that you have returned home. Where else do you want to return to?"

"Wrongly said. It should never go to sleep before we get drunk."

"Can you drink?"

"Can. I honed my drinking capability."

To prove that she now can drink, Karin raises the wine glass and drinks up the wine with a tilt of her neck.

Troy smiles and puts the wine glass to his mouth. Instead of drinking as quickly as she did, he lightly sips it. With a white bathrobe wrapping around his robust body, the water on his hair, which hasn't dried

yet, drips on his body one after another.

"Honey, let's elope..."

He looks askance at her in surprise, "Now no one disagrees with us being together. Why should we elope?"

"Leave this dangerous place where people are all calculating. Let's go find paradise and take Esme to live with us together, OK? I can… bear you many, many children..."

Karin is a little drunk. It seems that her ability to drink hasn’t improved at all.

"Are you afraid?"

Troy heartily stretches out a hand and strokes her cheek.

"No, I'm not afraid. I just don't want you to be so tired."

"I can’t help it. After I was born in such a family, my fate was predestined from the beginning."

“We can’t choose which kind of family we were born in. But for our future, we can choose them by ourselves. We can choose not to live such an exhausting life..."

"No, my grandfather's efforts all over his life lie here. I can't be selfish and leave it alone. Even if I die, I have to die on this land."

Karin sighs, raises a glass of wine, and drinks up another glass of wine. She staggers as she gets up, "I'll get a dry towel to wipe your hair."

She indeed gets a towel out of the bathroom and sits next to Troy. While wiping his hair, she says, "You can't let your hair get so wet in the future. Because you will get cold. You will get a headache after that. And I will be heartbroken if you get a headache..."

Her cheeks are red because of the drunkenness. Although she is already thirty years old, the condition of her skin is so good, which looks so watery and tender that Troy wants to take a bite of her. Especially at this moment, she has a muddled look, looking inexplicably charming, Troy looks at her in a daze, feeling that his body is burning and that his throat is dry and itchy. Then he puts down the wine glass and takes the towel from her hands, "Stop wiping it."

"Then I'll massage your head to relax your nerves."

Karin presses him down on the sofa without a word, lies beside him, and stretches out her slender fingers to gently knead his temples...

By the time Karin wakes up again, it is nine o'clock the next morning. It is probably because she hasn't rested well in the previous nights, she has been sleeping for more than ten hours last night under Troy's crazy torture.

Troy is long gone. Karin gets dressed and goes downstairs. And Yuma greets her with a smile, "Did you wake up?"

"Yeah."

"The Young Master asked me not to wake you up when he left this morning, saying that you should sleep for a while. So I didn't go to wake you up for breakfast."

"Oh."

Thinking of the passionate night, she feels that her face slightly blushes.

The phone in her pocket vibrates. And it is Billie who is calling her, "Karin, are you free?"

"Yes, what is it?"

"Can you go to the hospital with me?"

She asks with concern, "To the hospital? Are you not feeling well?"

"Yes, I'm a little dizzy."

"Okay then. I'm going down the hill."

Karin is indeed shocked to see Billie whose face is frighteningly white. She grabs her friend's arm and hurriedly asks, "What's wrong with you again? How come you look so bad?

"I don't know. I was fine yesterday. But I woke up in a daze this morning. And I feel a little chest tightness."

The two of them rush to the hospital. After the examination, a doctor said that there weren't any big issues but just psychological stress, suggesting that she should go out to travel for a period so that she could relax and her mood could naturally heal.

Karin, who has been nervous, finally becomes relaxed. After walking out of the hospital, she says solemnly, "From today onwards, I will spend more time with you, forget all the unpleasant things, and go back to being the cheerful and optimistic Billie in the old days!"

"Yeah."

Billie nods, points to the mall in front of her, and says, "Go with me to buy a dress. I haven't dressed myself up for a long time."

"Sure."

As soon as the two of them step into the door of the shopping mall, coincidentally, they meet their nemesis. As Karin intends to pull Billie to the side, it is too late.

"What are you hiding for? I'm not going to eat you alive."

The one who speaks is Gigi wearing brand-name clothing in the body and carrying variously-sized shopping bags. Billie stares at her slender high-heeled shoes. Thinking of a certain night a few years ago, she feels a pain in her heart. And her face becomes paler and paler.

Gigi asks sarcastically, "Yo, isn’t this Mrs. Billie? Did you put too much white powder on your face? Or is our life after marriage not as good as it should be?"

Karin changes the subject in a hurry, "Gigi, did you come here alone?"

"Don't call me so intimately. I told you we didn't know each other well!"

"Oh well. In that case, we don’t need to talk."

Karin turns to look at her best friend beside her, "Let's go inside."

"Wait a minute."

Gigi stops them sarcastically, glances at Billie's abdomen, and says in surprise, "I heard that you and Robert, who have been married for five years, don’t bear any children. Is it your problem or his problem? It should not be his. After all, I know how skilled he is at the bed and that he isn’t like a man who can’t make you bear a child..."

"You..."

Karin is speechless to the extreme. She managed to change her view of Gigi yesterday. And today, her good impression of Gigi is instantly gone. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Billie retorts, "Whether it is his problem or my problem, what does it matter to you? Are you trying to tell everyone in the world that you've slept with a man?"

Gigi doesn't expect her to dare to talk back. And she raises her eyebrows, "So what? Do you want me to tell you the details? You are a hen that doesn't lay eggs!"

“Snap…”

As soon as Gigi finishes her words, Billie gives her a fierce slap and says while gritting her teeth, "I've wanted to slap you like this early."

Originally, her retorting made Gigi quite furious. And Gigi doesn’t expect her to dare to hit her. So she suddenly suffers a mental breakdown. Throwing the shopping bags in her hands to the ground, she intends to fight with Billie.

Karin stops her in time and yells, "This is a public place. Don’t disgrace the Charlie family here!"

"Are you blind? Can't you see that she hit me first?

Billie tilts her head, "I beat you up. So what? Why don't you find a few more people to beat me up? But I warn you. I'm not a weak one. Although I put up with you once, doesn't mean I'll put up with you every time. Now that it's like this anyway. I don't mind at all if I have to fight you on my last day!"
