Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 176

After a brief silence, she smiles, “It's okay. Since I can’t be a bride, it's not bad to be a bridesmaid.”

“As long as you think it's okay, then it’s fine by me.”

In many cases, happiness needs to be set off. The more unfortunate others are, the more happiness you appear to be, and vice versa.

In the afternoon, Karin receives a call from Troy, asking to have dinner together in the evening.

At a quarter past five, she goes to Charlie Group, and bumps into Robert, who has come out of the CEO's office. Thinking of Billie, she glances at him lightly and walks in without saying a word.

“You’re here.”

“Yep.”

“Wait a moment. I’ll be finished soon.”

“Ok.”

Karin stands behind him and watches him doing his work. Ten minutes later, he closes the folder in his hand and gets up and says, “Okay, let's go.”

“You intervened in Robert's marriage, what does he think about it?”

“What can he think about it? That guy has one-track mind.”

“Then leave it alone.”

Karin is a little angry, “People who can't see the feelings in their hearts clearly don’t deserve happiness. Anyway, Billie will return to Britain.”

“Billie is going back to Britain?”

“Yes.”

“Does Robert know?”

“How could he know, don't tell him, it's useless to say it anyway, so be it.”

Troy frowns for a moment and nods, “Let’s eat first.”

“Do you have plan after dinner?”

After getting in the car, she asks curiously.

“Yes.”

“What is it?”

“It’s a secret.”

“Could it be any surprise?”

“You can think so.”

He tells her to think that way, so she believes it. After dinner, she follows him to find surprises, but Troy drives and stops outside of Emmanuel's mansion.

“Is this the surprise?”

She asks incredulously.

“Yes.”

“Then I don't want it. I don't want to see Gigi.”

“She shouldn't be at home now.”

Troy gets out of the car and drags her out too.

“But what are we doing here?”

When she thinks of Emmanuel's sharp eyes, she feels unsettled. Probably because of Robert and Billie, they have already regarded her as an enemy.

“I’ll tell you after we go back.”

They enter the living room, and Emmanuel is quite surprised, “Why do the two of you come together today?”

Hearing the same tone as before, Karin breathes a sigh of relief, but still does not dare to look into his eyes.

“Uncle Emmanuel, I want to discuss something with you, shall we go to the study?”

“Sure.”

Troy lowers his voice and says to the woman beside him, “Wait for me here.”

Afterwards, he enters the study with Emmanuel.

Karin sits on the sofa anxiously, praying silently that Gigi will never come back. After waiting for about an hour, the door of the study finally opens and they walk out.

“That's it, Uncle Emmanuel, we should go back.”

“Ok.”

Emmanuel nods, and Karin glances at him, seeing that there is no anger shown between his eyebrows, and he even has a faint smile on his face, and she is completely relieved.

Out of the gate of the mansion, she can’t wait to ask, “What did you talk about with Uncle Emmanuel?”

“About Robert.”

“You are not letting him cancel the wedding, are you?”

“Yes.”

“Then why is he not angry?”

“Why should he be angry? He agreed.”

“He agreed?” Karin can't believe it, “Did you say he agreed?”

“Yes.”

“How come?”

“There is nothing impossible in this world. Those that you think are impossible are often made possible under the temptation of certain interests.”

Interest…

She considers the meaning of his words, and then asks uncertainly after a while, “Could it be that you have promised your uncle interests?”

“You are quite smart.”

“What interests did you promise him?”

“I’ll give him a filiale of Charlie Group.”

“What? You...you...”

Karin is so shocked that she can't speak for a long time.

“What’s wrong?”

“Why don't you discuss it with me? Didn't I tell you to forget about it? Robert doesn't fight for it himself. Is it worthwhile for you to sacrifice so much for him?”

“I said, I will challenge the regulations of my family, no matter what it takes.”

“But what's the use of Uncle Emmanuel's promise? Your cousin will never give up!”

The weather is getting colder and colder, unconsciously, winter is here.

Gigi is eventually sent to France by Emmanuel, but Billie fails to get together with Robert.

They are still in the same company, but there are few chances for them to meet. Even if they meet, they are like strangers.

This makes Karin most depressed.

The night before Christmas, she meets Billie and can't help asking her, “Have Robert reached out to you?”

Billie shrugs, “Yes.”

“Then what happened?”

“Nothing happened.”

“You still don't forgive him?”

“It's not that I don’t forgive him, but he doesn’t let me.”

“He reached out to you; he must want to get back together with you.”

“He came to me, Nine out of ten times, didn't speak anything. Only one time, he said, ‘It's cold. Put on more clothes.’”

Karin sighs and is speechless, thinking that Robert had a lot of ideas in order to match her with Troy. Why is he so dull now to deal with his own love life? !

“He may be shy. You can be more active.”

“No way. I won't take the initiative anymore, and I don't want to take the initiative anymore. Love is a mutual thing. I feel tired when I work alone.”

“So, you’re really giving up?”

“Well, if he is like that, we can't get together.”

After returning home in the evening, Karin runs to the study and says to Troy, “You should have a talk with Robert.”

Troy asks puzzledly, “About what?”

“He went to Billie but didn't say anything, then what does he mean? If he was acting like that, it's better not to go there.”

“That's their business, why do you care so much?”

“But I'm angry. We worked hard for them to be together. In the end, they are not together. Then aren’t our efforts wasted?”

“It won't be wasted, maybe it’s just not the time yet.”

“After the New Year, Billie will return to Britain. When will the time be?”

Troy sighs, “You look like you are going to choke me to death. I am not Robert.”

“I know you are not Robert. I just ask you to talk with him.”

“Okay, I will talk with him.”

He pats her on the shoulder, “You are already a bride-to-be, you should worry more about our wedding.”

As he speaks, he takes out a golden card from his wallet and hands it to her hand, “Take it. Let Billie accompany you to buy some wedding supplies.”

“Do I need to buy wedding supplies? Didn't you arrange people to buy them?”

“Buy what you need, clothes, shoes, jewelry.”

“You bought a lot of these for me.”

Troy is a little unhappy, “Those are what I bought for you, and you may not like what I bought. I mean you should buy something you like.”
