Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 147

She smiles. "Believe it or not, I've got things to hate."

"Like?"

Thinking about it for a moment, she answers seriously, "Dreaming."

"Huh?"

Jacob is confused, as he thinks nobody hates dreams while sleeping.

"Because I had a dream that ruined my lifetime happiness."

"What kind of dream?"

"It's a secret."

She lowers her head and attentively scribbles a word on the white paper—NIGHTMARE.

She has had innumerous dreams in the last twenty years, but the nightmare this time is the only one that comes true.

Therefore, she doesn't like dreams.

Jacob knows that's where he should stop asking more. After idling around in the park, he comes back to her again, propping his chin up on one arm, and asks, "What does your boyfriend look like?"

"Are you curious?"

"Kind of."

Karin pulls her phone out of her pocket and finds a photo of herself and Troy at her birthday. Showing it to Jacob, she says, "Here."

Jacob is shocked as his expression changes.

Looking at her gradually pale face, Karin asks, "Jacob, are you okay?"

"Jacob...Jacob…"

Her calling breaks through Jacob's thoughts, and Jacob shakes his head. "I'm fine, but your boyfriend looks like my stepfather, which makes me feel bad."

"Your stepfather?"

Karin's mouth drops in surprise, as she never thinks that Troy can look so evil.

Yuma rushes out of the living room and happily exclaims, "Miss Karin. Miss Karin. Mr. Troy calls and he'll be back home tonight."

"…okay."

Her response is indifferent as she's not excited about it at all.

"I've got to have a snap. I'm not feeling well."

Since Jacob looks so bad, Karin cares about him. "Shall I call a doctor for you?"

"I'm alright. Just need some me time."

"Fine. I'll let you know when it's dinner."

It's ten in late night. Karin stands in front of the French window of the bedroom, hearing the familiar car horns, and she knows Troy comes back. Finally, he comes back after his leaving for three days.

Swiveling around, she slowly steps downstairs and finds Troy has already walked in the living room. Noticing her presence, he walks up toward her in surprise, saying, "You haven't slept, Karin."

"Yep."

He holds her in his arms, saying huskily, "I miss you so much…"

She doesn't say a word, but her body gradually gets stiff. Noting her change, he asks, "What's wrong? Aren't you happy seeing me here with you?"

"No."

"Why can't I see your smile?"

Karin didn't mean to question him, but now she can't hold back. "How can I flash a smile at you, when you and the other woman took wedding photos together?"

Troy's heart skips a beat. "So, you know it?"

"I wish not."

"Sorry, I thought you might get sad if you'd know it."

"You don't have to. Nothing I couldn't survive."

Except his marriage with the other woman.

"Robert has found a new clue. We'll get over this soon…"

Karin doesn't give his any response as she can tell the difference between "soon" and "already". Without any hope, never will she get disappointed.

"By the way," she redirects the conversation to another way.

"What?"

"I saved a man with bruises and scars and took him back here couple of days ago."

"I know."

"How?"

"Yuma called me."

She's shocked. "And you're not pissed off?"

"What for?"

She thought he'd reprimand her for being a stickybeak. Troy has so many enemies that her kindness may be taken advantage of by the evil.

"When Yuma told me this, I felt it okay as you have done this before, to me."

Suddenly, Karin gets mixed feelings. If she can change back to three years ago, she wouldn't show up at that time and place to save him…

"So, where's the man you saved?"

Noticing her silence, Troy asks her.

"He's in the study. I'll get him to meet you."

"Okay."
