Chapter 288 Ending of the Story 3
"You’d better not come here if there aren’t important things. If you come here more often, sooner or later, you will be found out. As the saying goes, it is always wise to play safe. To be safe, let’s reduce the chance of our meeting."
"Then can I call you? Give me your new number."
Troy shakes his head, "Your cell phone is monitored by Emmanuel twenty-four hours a day. If you call me, he will immediately find it out."
Karin is completely lost, very, feeling so lost. She managed to meet with Troy to verify the doubts in her heart. But now, she has to go back to the days when she couldn’t see him. Although she tries to say it is okay, she is so sad in her heart.
Troy sees through her sadness, takes her hands, and says with conviction, "Don't be sad. The short separation between us is only for us to be better together in the future. When the spring flowers bloom, we will never be separated again."
"Good."
She nods with teary eyes. And with the faith he gives to her, she reluctantly sets off on the road of parting.
A few days after that, Karin still maintains a gloomy mood in the company. Although she already has expectations in her heart, she doesn’t reveal any of her emotions on her face. She can pretend to be strong. She can pretend to be sad. For Troy, there is nothing she can’t do!
One day at noon, she and Robert go to eat lunch at a restaurant near the company. And they coincidentally see a familiar figure, Molly, the only one who knows Troy's fake amnesia other than her.
She points to Molly's table and says to Robert, "I'll go and sit over there. You should eat first."
Robert gazes back and nods knowingly, "Good."
Karin gets up and walks over. Pointing to the seat opposite Molly, she says, "Is there anyone sitting here?"
Molly lifts her head with a trace of surprise flashing in her eyes, "No."
"Then do you mind if I sit down here?"
"No."
Karin sits down, looks straight at her for a few seconds, and asks, "You know I met with him, right?"
"Yes."
"Then can you tell me the truth? What is your reason for helping Troy?"
Before Molly can answer her, she emphasizes, "If it's because you like him, admit that you like him. I don’t want to hear any false words. I am after true words."
Molly lifts the tea in front of her and takes a sip of it, slowly saying, "The reason is that I want to help him. That's all." Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
"Isn’t it because you like him?"
"So what if I like him? Is it possible that he will divorce you and then be with me?"
"If you know it's impossible, then why are you doing this for him unconditionally?"
"As I said, I just want to help him. That's the reason."
Karin sighs lightly, "I don't know if you mean what you say. Even so, if Troy believes in you, I will believe in you too. I hope you won't fail to live up to our trust."
"Thank you for your trust. I also hope he can solve all this crisis as soon as possible. As I told you before, loving someone is to fulfill his wishes rather than possess him. Although I don't want to see you have a happy life, I want to see Troie have a happy life, I can only fulfill you."
Molly finishes her words, gets up, and leaves the restaurant. Karin stares at her back as if she were lost in thoughts. Robert comes over and asks, "What did she say?"
"She said she was sincere in helping Troy."
"There is a possibility that what she said is true. Molly isn’t the same as Mia. She is smarter than Mia. Although she desires something, she won’t plan to be doomed with it together."
Karin says meaningfully, "I also hope that she is smarter than Mia."
The two of them walk out of the restaurant. Before getting into the car, Karin looks askance at a certain place for a few seconds briefly and tamely sits in the car.
Robert asks casually, "Do you see anything?"
"Stalkers."
"After hearing your words that day, I just noticed that people were stalking near my house."
"Of course, the two of us are your Young Master Troy is most likely to approach."
As soon as they go back to the office, Karin's office phone rings. She casually picks the call up, "Hello? Who is that speaking?"
"Niece-in-law, it's me, Emmanuel."
She is stunned as she says, "What can I do for you?"
"I wonder if you're free tonight. I want to treat you to dinner."
Karin wonders what the old fox was trying to do.
"I think there may be some misunderstanding between us. So I want to ask you out to have a good chat. After all, we are all family. There is no need for us to make the relationship between us so stiff."
She thinks about it for a few seconds and resolutely agrees, "Sure, where and when?"
Even if it's a dinner with hidden agendas, she still wants to attend to it. She wants to see what tricks the old fox wants to play again.
"Let’s meet at Private Room Number Six at W Restaurant at 7 p.m. sharp."
"Well, okay. Then see you tonight."
Hanging up the phone, she immediately calls Robert, "Emmanuel said he would treat me to dinner tonight."
Robert opens his eyes wide in surprise, "What does he want to do again?"
"On the surface, he said he wanted to clear up the misunderstanding between us. In reality, we have to go there before we know what he wants."
"Do you agree?"
"Yes."
"How can you say yes to him? What if it's a trap again?"
"As the saying goes, when the cat is away, the mice will play. If it's indeed a trap, do you think I won't fall in later if I don't go tonight?"
"Then how about I go with you?"
"No, he named me to go there alone. You can wait for me near W Restaurant. I will call you if anything happens."
"Okay."
At 6:00 p.m., Karin goes back to Ziteng Garden to change her clothes and then rushes to W Restaurant. When she pushes open the door of Number Six Private Box, she sees Emmanuel and William sitting by the door. And beside them, Troy’s third uncle and fourth uncle are also there.
"Ouch, Niece-in-law, you are here, please have a seat."
troy’s fourth uncle diligently pulls a stool, acting as a host.
"Are we the only ones here tonight?"
Karin calmly sits down and glances at Emmanuel and then at Troy’s third uncle and fourth uncle. But she deliberately avoids looking at William.
"Of course not. There are a few people who haven't come here yet."
"Who else are they?"
"You'll know when they arrive later."
Emmanuel smiles and starts to get down to the point, "Actually, Niece-in-law, the reason why I asked out is that I want to tell you something important."
She asks in an unperturbed voice, "What is it?"
"Troy has been found."
She is shocked. And the reason why she acts like this isn’t that she hears about Troy’s whereabouts. Instead, it is because she wonders why Emmanuel is talking about this for no reason. It seems that the banquet today is indeed one with hidden agendas, which surely is related to Troy.
Emmanuel has long known that she met Troy. So at this time, if she doesn’t tell him the truth, she will cause his suspicion instead. So she generously admits it, "I have met him. It is just that..."
She pauses for a moment and frowns gloomily, "He has lost his memory."
"Huh, Niece-in-law, do you already know about this? I thought you didn't know. And I was worried about how to tell you so that you could accept it."
Emmanuel feigns surprise and raises his eyebrows.
"Well, I met him at the beach before. Unfortunately, he didn't remember who I was at all. And he only knew Bono's daughter alone now. That day, I cried and begged him to go home with me. But he still followed Miss Molly and left."
"Is Molly interested in my nephew? How come Troy is with her?"
"Yes. Before Troy and I got married, she had approached me, saying that she liked Troy. I was worried that she would be endlessly pestered as Mia. So I rushed to have a wedding, thinking that from then on I could get rid of her pestering. But I never thought that Troy's memory loss would once again let her take advantage of the situation."
"So did you just let Troy be with her? You two are a legitimate couple."
"What can I do? Troy was determined to be with her. If I forced him, he would have a headache. For his memory to be restored soon, I could only tolerate this for the time being."
"Ai, it's indeed aggravating for you."
Emmanuel pats her shoulder with false sympathy and says comfortingly, "Don't worry. I know a very good medical seller who specializes in researching amnesia. In a few days, I'll have him take a look at Troy. And his memory probably can be restored right away."
Karin nods gratefully, "Then I have to thank you in advance, Uncle Emmanuel."
While living in this hypocritical world, it is unknown when Karin has begun to learn to be a hypocrite. Sometimes, it's not that she wants to change. Instead, it is the situation that forces her to change.
Sounds of footstep ring outside the door. A waiter pushes open the door. And Karin raises her eyes numbly. When she sees who the visitor is, her heart suddenly trembles.
