Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 252

By the time they return home in a daze, it has been noon. Seeing that Karin is at a loss, Mike and Jane feel upset in their heart.

When they are having lunch, Mike asks, "What's the urgent matter that caused Troy to leave alone first?"

Karin glances at Esme, who is equally curious, and replies softly, "It is something about the company."

"Then what are your plans? You're not going back to Edinburgh, are you?"

Jane interjects, "You've already come back. So what's the point of going back there?"

"I have to go back there. After all, I have worked there for five years. Even though I plan to resign, I have to do it according to the normal procedure."

"Then when will you go back there?"

"Tomorrow."

"What about Esme? You don't need to take Esme there with you, right?"

"Yes, she can stay in London, I'll go there alone."

Esme raises her eyes gloomily, "Mom, are you going to leave me behind as Dad does?"

Karin shakes her head, "No, your dad is going home to deal with some urgent matters and will come back to pick us up soon. Mommy is going to Edinburgh to quit my job as well as transfer you to another school. Moreover, we have to move a lot of our things over."

"Yes, Esme, you are so cute, your mom and dad surely love you so much. How could they leave you behind?"

Jane rubs her granddaughter's hair dotingly.

Little Esme nods her head in a lost voice, "Okay then..."

Karin returns to Edinburgh the next day and goes to work normally during the day. At noon, she prints out a resignation letter and then goes to the General Manager's office with a complicated feeling.

She knocks on the door. And William's voice comes from inside, "Come in."

She pushes the door open and goes in. Glancing that it is her, William gets up in surprise, "Are you back?"

"Yeah."

Walking forward a few steps, she puts her resignation in front of him and says softly, "Sorry, I'm here to submit my resignation letter to you."

William is stunned. As he looks askance at the resignation letter on the table, his expression suddenly becomes indifferent. And he doesn’t say a word for quite a while.

"Thank you for your care over these five years."

He questions painfully, "These five years have passed. Could it be that you don’t even have a little feeling for me?"

Karin lowers her head and dares not to look him in the eyes, "I made it very clear to you from the beginning that no way that I could be with you."

"I don't hope that you have to be with me. But isn't it good for us to work together like this now? Should you have to leave?"

"All things must come to an end. Since we can’t be lovers, there surely will be a day when we have to go our separate ways."

"Is it because of him? He came back for you. That's the reason why you want to leave, right?"

"Even if he doesn't come back, I will leave sooner or later. Anyway, I can't stay here for the rest of my life."

William suddenly laughs sarcastically. And the look in his eyes indicates that he has been greatly hurt, "Am I that bad? It took me ten years to love two women. But neither of them loved me, even for one day."

Karin, who is very upset, comforts him, "It isn’t that you are bad. It is that you loved the wrong person. To find someone you love, you have to fall in love with the right person at the right time. You aren’t morally bad. And your conditions are also very good. I believe that one day you will meet the person you love who will also love you."

"There won't be."

William coldly shifts his eyes to the azure sky outside the window, "I will never love someone else again. Neither do I want to love. Life is too short to be consumed like this. There will be a time when I feel exhausted."

That evening, she stands in front of the window of Star River Community and glances at the west, searching for the shining guardian star representing Troy. The weather tonight doesn’t seem to be good. Setting aside the guardian star, only a few stars are scattered in the sky. Failing to see what she wants to see, Karin suddenly is in a very bad mood. She has been clutching at the cell phone, waiting for Troy to call her. According to Troy, he will call her at 9 p.m. on time.

But now, it's already 10:30 p.m. And he hasn't called her. She's starting to think about whether she should call him.

After she conflicts a little while, she finally takes the initiative to call him. She doesn’t want him to feel that she is worried about him. Even so, if she doesn’t call him, she would have always been worried.

In that case, she can do nothing.

The phone keeps ringing for a long time before it is answered. And his magnetic voice comes over the phone, "Hello, Karin?"

"Is your watch out of order?"

He is stunned. And then it dawns on him as he says, "Sorry, I am in a private meeting, thinking that I'll call you after I finish the meeting."

"Oh, it's okay. Go ahead then." As long as he is okay, she will be relieved.

"Okay, I'll call you when I'm done then."

"Okay."

Karin breathes a sigh of relief. She, who has been anxious and worried, finally becomes relieved. As long as she hears his voice, all her anxiety will dissipate.

After taking a bath and lying down on the bed to rest, she falls asleep without realizing it. In the middle of the night, she is woken up by the ringtone of her cell phone. And when she sees that it is Troy calling her, she immediately presses the answer button, "Hello?"

"I woke you up, didn't I?"

"You're not in a meeting until now, are you?" At the thought of this possibility, she is heartbroken. After all, it is quite late now.

"No, it ended early. Robert suggested having a snack. Then I went home and took a shower before calling you."
