Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 183

It has been half a month, but there is still no news about Jacob. When Karin thinks of his pure eyes mixed with sadness, Karin's heart aches. On festive occasions more than ever thinks of dear ones far away, especially on the New Year. Is Jacob sitting silently in an empty corner, looking up at the bright moon in the sky and missing his mother in the distance...?

Karin blames herself very much. That night she obviously felt his weird, but she didn't pay much attention to him. If she had a talk with him, Jacob wouldn’t leave, right? What kind of helplessness is it that makes Jacob leave without saying goodbye?

"Don't worry. I will tell you as soon as I get the news."

Troy stretches out his hand to smooth her frowning, and then holds her into his arms, comforting her softly.

In the middle of the night, it snows heavily. The sun was still shining during the day, but the weather suddenly changes at night.

Billie is alone in the rental house, watching TV. After spending the New Year, she will leave here. So whether the weather in Zurich is as fickle as the human, it doesn't matter to her.

In the past two days, she has barely gone out. She has bought a lot of snacks as her food. She has completely become a homebody.

The phone on the table is buzzing. It’s Karin's call. Billie answers it, "Hello?"

"Billie, come to Ziteng Garden tomorrow? I will let Troy drive to pick you up."

"No, I don't want to be the third wheel."

Karin has invited her several times before the New Year, but she refuses. Even though she is lonely, loneliness is not shameful. It is shameful to watch others happy and mourn her unhappiness.

"It's just a meal."

"No. I am losing weight these past two days. I’m on a diet, so thank you for your kindness."

Karin sighs, "Well."

Karin can understand Billie's feelings, so she doesn't force Billie, although she is a little bit disappointed.

After hanging up the phone, Billie throws the phone aside. Then she gets up and picks up the rubbish next to the sofa. She is going to go out to throw it away.

Stepping on the thin snow, she’s walking in the direction of the trash can. It’s freezing. Even each breath she exhales turns into mist. She shrinks her neck into her down jacket. After throwing the rubbish away, she’s putting her hands in the pockets of the down jacket and is walking back home. Her shadow is stretched by the street lamp, which looks like indescribable bleak.

As walking, she suddenly feels something weird. As if someone is following her, she turns her head violently, but doesn't see anything.

She stands still for a while, and then continues to move forward. Perhaps just for psychological reasons, who will follow behind someone so downcast in such weather?

After entering the house and closing the door, just when she is considering whether she should take a shower and go to sleep, she hears two crisp knocks. Her heart tightens and then she hurries to open the door.

There is no one outside, but there is a heat keep box on the ground.

She squats down and opens the lid of the box. Inside is hot food. The aroma of food is strong. Just a glance, tears well up in her eyes.

There is no need to guess who puts this stuff here. Billie steps out and stands in the snow. She shouts, "Robert, come out. I know it’s you!"

The surrounding is quiet, as if no one has ever been here. It’s really like Santa Claus giving a gift to her. Santa Claus comes silently and leaves without a trace.

Billie stands under the street lamp, letting snow fall on her body. She sobs quietly. Her breath turns into white mist, but tears gleam in her bright eyes.

"Robert, I know you are nearby. I won’t leave until you come out!"

Every girl has their stubbornness. Billie’s stubbornness never loses to anyone. She stands there for a full fifteen minutes. Then a figure standing in the dark finally can’t help but come out. He holds her from her behind tightly.

Feeling the familiar breath, her tears instantly fall down. She breaks free hard, then turns around to look at the person who she misses every day. She angrily asks, "What do you mean? We have already broken up, haven’t we? Why do you still send me food?"

Robert is silent. His eyes are sunken and he looks so haggard.

"Do you think that I don’t go out to eat then I will eat the food you give to me? If I don’t eat the food sold outside, I won’t eat the food you bring it over! So please don’t bother."

After Billie finishes speaking, she is about to run away, but Robert grabs her arm, "Don't treat yourself like this. Even if we have broken up, I still hope you can live a good life."

It's so ridiculous. What does it mean? They have already broken up. How she lives is her own business.

"Thank you for your reminder. Thank you so much!"
