Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 236

Troy freezes for a whole minute, and when he comes to his senses, he quickly squats down, "What did you say?"

"My mother tells me she wants to find me a father, and a brother..."

He takes a deep breath to calm down and holds her hand, "Follow me."

The two enter the elevator and arrive at the sixth floor. Just in time they meet Karin who comes out of the shower to look for her daughter, and as soon as she sees Esme with Troy again, her face sinks at once.

"How many times do you want to make mommy worry about you?"

She angrily yanks Esme from Troy's hand.

"You come with me for a moment."

Troy pulls her by the arm and drags her towards the elevator.

"Let go of me."

She struggles fiercely, "Let go of me."

"I have something to ask you."

"If you want to ask me something, say it now!"

Troy gives a sideways look at Esme, "Are you sure you want to say it in front of Esme?"

Karin is stunned, glaring at him with hatred, then turns to her daughter and says, "You go in to the house first."

Esme nods nervously and trots into the house, and shuts the door of the house as well.

"I heard you're going on a blind date?"

"You are really well-informed."

"Esme tells me. But she is not happy with it at all, why not ask her consent first?"

Karin replies coldly, "It's not your turn to ask about our family's affairs."

"Your affairs are my affairs, you and Esme are my responsibility for the rest of my life!"

"Responsibility?" She looks like she hears the most ridiculous joke in the world, "Don't you think it is too late for you to take your responsibility?"

"Life is still long for us, maybe I am missing your last five years, but I can assure you that I can make up for you for the next fifty years as long as you want."

"What's the best way to deal with it?" She looks straight at him and makes her position clear word by word, "I-don't-want-to."

Karin finishes her words, angrily shaking off his hand, then turns around and enters her house, closing the door heavily.

She really wants to kill him when he talks about responsibility. When she was in her hardest time, when she needed him the most to fulfill his duty, he was not by her side, but now she doesn’t need his help anymore, he even dares to take the initiative to come to fulfill his duty, if she takes him back, then what does those pain she suffered for the five years mean to him? The pain she has suffered, the humiliation she has endured, the hard work she has done for her child and the gossip she has to swallow, all these can not be overlooked just because he wants to take back his responsibility!

Esme curls up in the corner of the sofa, apprehensively staring at her mother sitting beside her, for half an hour, she doesn’t say a word, the expression on her face is very gloomy.

"Mom, if you want to scold me just do it, don't act like this, okay?"

Finally she can not endure her mother’s coldness, Esme crawls over and tugs on her mother's sleeve.

She would rather be beaten by her mother than to be treated with silence.

"Esme, you are now becoming more and more naughty and makes me upset more often, do you know that?"

Karin turns around her head and stares at her daughter with a depressing expression.

"I'm sorry..."

"If you don't want mommy to find a father for you, just tell me, why did you promise mommy in the front, but behind my back run off to tell someone else that you don’t want a new daddy?"

Esme is very guilty, her two small hands helplessly twist together, "I am so wrong. I regretted agreeing with your proposal, but I doesn't dare to take back my promise, so I involuntarily wants to go to find "bad uncle" to talk about it..."

"What's the meaning of you coming to him? Don't you know that mom hates him?"

"I know, but I do not hate him like you..."

Karin is so annoyed but really does not know how to deal with her daughter. She gives a long sign, then falls into a deep silence.

"Mom, if you must find a father for me, do I have my own voice?"

"Do you want to choose William?"

"No..."

She shakes her head, and at that moment Karin knows clearly in her heart that her daughter wants to choose Troy, "the bad uncle". Although her choice is very unacceptable, but Karin still pretends to be calm and asks purposely, "Then who do you want to choose?"

"The bad uncle..."

Her heart rate increases. Esme really wants him to be her new father, gloomily lowers her eyelids, "That is impossible."

"I know that mom hates him, but Uncle Troy said that mom used to like him, if you could like him in the past, why can't you try to like him now?"

Troy Charlie... What exactly did you say in front of the child? Karin can't wait to take Esme away now, to somewhere that nobody knows them, as long as he can't find them.

Returning to the table, her daughter who is eating breakfast asks in a tender voice.

"Yes."

Esme wants to ask why "bad uncle" is coming here, but she is afraid of making her mother angry, so she changes the topic.

"When will you meet my new father?"

"I won’t go on a blind date again"

"What?" She opens her mouth wide in surprise, "Why?"

"I thinks it is meaningless if you don’t like it."

So it's because of her, Esme bites her lip and swallows to say, "Actually... if mom likes him, I can also try to like him..."

"No need." Karin glares at her, "Eat quickly, later mommy will take you to the zoo."

"Really?" she is very upset at the beginning, the next second she jumps up with excitement.

"When has mommy ever lied to you."

"Yeah! Mommy is the best, no wonder I like you so much!"

Karin looks at her daughter, smiling happily, she would do everything for her daughter.

They go out at nine o'clock in the morning and return from the zoo until four o'clock in the afternoon. In the evening, Karin is preparing the dinner, thinking that the steamed buns she bought in the morning had not been eaten yet, so she calls on Esme to bring the buns to the kitchen and warm then up.

Esme brings the buns into the kitchen with a plate, she looks down, "You have eaten two buns already?"

"I didn't eat it."

"Then how come there's only one left?" she clearly remembers that there are three left in the morning.

"No?"

Esme blinks rapidly, "Could it be eaten by rats?"

"No way, there is no rats in our house."

She goes to the living room to open the refrigerator, carefully look around, nothing unusual, and goes back to the kitchen to continue cooking, perhaps as her daughter says, it is eaten by rats, although it may not be possible.

During the night, Karin once again hears a strange sound, but the sound is not from the living room, but from her closet, thinking about what happened to the bun during the day, she could not help but shiver, tiptoeing out of bed, walks to the closet and takes a deep breath to open it. A big shadow comes to her and when she is about to scream, her mouth is covers by the black shadow.
