Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 139

William knocks at the door and says, "Karin, here are clothes."

She opens the door a little and reaches out to take it. The clothes are new and the trademark has not been torn off.

Karin turns off the faucet, dries her body with a towel, puts on dry clothes and walks out of the bathroom. William is smoking in the living room.

She sits across from him and says softly, "Thank you." The clothes are very suitable, and not short at all. She is grateful for his care.

"You're welcome. I'll make you a cup of ginger tea."

William pinches out the cigarette and is about get up. She shakes her head, "No, I don't want to drink it."

"Drink it or catch a cold. No matter how unhappy you are, you should take care of yourself."

When he enters the kitchen, Karin hears the sound of slicing ginger from the kitchen. Then she looks at his home carefully. There are two rooms and two halls. Although it is not as luxurious as the villa, but it is very clean and warm. There are landscape paintings on the wall and the chandelier on the top exudes an ocean-like light. Although the furniture is not much, it is neatly arranged. Obviously, he is a man with a regular life.

"Drink it?"

William is faster than she thinks. Looking at the warm ginger tea in his hand, she takes it and nods calmly, "Thank you."

"Can't you tell me anything other than thank you tonight?"

"What do you want to hear from me?"

Karin drinks the ginger tea in the glass. William should have put a lot of brown sugar in it, but it is still indescribably bitter.

"What happened to you and Troy?"

"He is getting married, with Mia."

William doesn't feel very surprised. Seeing his calm expression, she laughs to herself, "Aren't you surprised? Did you already know it, or did you expect it?"

"Neither, but the moment I met you on the road, I already guessed it."

Staring at her sullen and haggard expression, he says confidently, "With your feelings for Troy, if there is not a serious problem, you will definitely not be desperate. I heard you talk about Mia before, so it’s not weird."

"Do you think I am embarrassed?"

"No, people who cry because of true love will not be embarrassed."

"True love…"

Her tears roll in her eyes, "There is no lies and betrayal in true love. True love is one person loving another person wholeheartedly. They will get older together. It is not to say love to a woman but marry another woman."

William stretches out his hand, pats her shoulder, and says earnestly, "Have you heard the story of wood and fire? A piece of wood said to the fire, ‘Hold me!’ The fire embraced the wood, and the wood turned into ashes in the smile. The fire cried, and the tears extinguished itself... You are a silly wood, and Troy is a pile of fire. You and him should never fall in love. But you still love each other without turning back. Therefore, the wood is destined to be burned, and the fire is destined to lose itself because of the lack of wood."

"So, we are destined to have bad ending, right?"

"Regardless of how the ending is, the most important is you have loved each other."

"You are wrong."

Karin looks at him with teary eyes, "People who once really loved someone would never be attracted by others. William, have you ever loved anyone seriously? Do you know the feeling of being in the heaven but suddenly falling into hell? People who really love someone don’t care the proceeding but the result. If love is devoting myself to a love and ending up with a heartbreak, then I’d rather never love."

William is startled, "Do you really love him so much? Can't you live without him?"

"You have no way to understand how I feel."

She lowers her head and tears fall down her cheeks. Thinking of her grandmother sitting alone in front of the small window, thinking of her mother's sadness, thinking of her father who has refused to forgive her until now, and thinking of Troy and Mia are going to enter the wedding hall, she really loses the courage to live.

The heart hurts more and more, and the tears flow more and more. Maybe it is not Troy's betrayal that she can't bear, but that she can't bear to lose like this.

"Don't cry."
