Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 222

Barry looks William up and down, turns to look at Karin, frowning. Then he asks, "Who is he?"

Karin didn't expect Barry to suddenly visit her in the middle of the night. She is in a panic for a moment and stammers, "My… My friend."

"Friend? What kind of friend?"

Barry seems to insist on knowing the truth. Fearing that her parents will go out and her lie will be exposed, she hurriedly pulls William to the side, lowers her voice, and says, "Leave quickly. He is my ex-boyfriend."

William is surprised as he skims the man behind him, "So can you handle him alone?"

"It's okay. I can handle him."

"Good. Call me if anything happens."

"Got it. Before my parents come out, hurry up and leave!"

Karin quickly hails a cab for him. And after sending William away, she walks briskly towards Barry, "Why would you come at this late hour?"

"I heard that you came back. Considering the situation and judgments, I, your ex-boyfriend, should come over to take a look at you."

"No need. Go back. I'm going to sleep."

Karin turns around to enter the house. However, Barry pulls her arm, "Who is that man?"

"I told you. He's my friend!"

"A friend? I'll go in and ask your parents!"

Seeing that Barry's eyes are filled with distrust of her, Karin sternly reprimands, "As for who he is, does it matter to you?"

"I just want to figure it out. If you're with Troy, I'll accept it. On what grounds did you abandon me for another man?"

"What are you talking about? There is no such thing!"

"Where is Troy? Why didn't he come back with you?"

Faced with Barry's aggression, Karin becomes more and more uneasy, knowing that if she continues to argue with Barry, her parents will soon find out the truth.

"No need. I'll go in and ask for clarification from your parents!"

As Barry is about to step inside, a little girl runs out, "Mom, Mom..."

Karin squats down in panic, "Esme, go inside. Mom has something to talk to this guy."

"Has Daddy left?"

She covers her daughter's mouth. But it is already too late. Barry has already heard it.

"Dad? Is that man her father?"

Barry is so angry that his face turns livid. Seeing that she can't hide it anymore, Karin says, "Go home first. I'll ask you out tomorrow to explain it to you."

"No way. I won't leave unless you explain it to me today. Five years ago, you fooled me. And five years later, you simply don't treat me as a human being, do you?"

"What are you arguing about?"

Mike comes out staggeringly. And when he sees Barry, his expression is quite unpleasant. He used to like this young man. But Barry came to make a scene in his house a few times. Moreover, because of Lucy's unreasonable behavior, Mike lost his goodwill towards Barry.

Seeing her father come out, Karin is anxious and panicked. So she goes forward and drags Barry, "Come on. Let's talk elsewhere."

"I don't have anything to say to you. I'll talk to your mother!"

Barry shouts towards the room, "Mrs. Shaw, please come out!"

"What the hell do you want?" Karin is in a panic, "Take it as a plea from me. Hurry up and leave, okay?"

The more she is like this, the more depressed Barry is. He, who is already overwhelmed with anger, is certain that Karin has betrayed him and that he can't forgive her because of her betrayal.

"What is it?"

Jane is washing dishes in the kitchen. When she hears the noise outside, she runs out without even having time to untie the apron on her waist.

Seeing that her lie is about to be unraveled, Karin closes her eyes in pain, thinking that God has always been so merciless to her. Even if she enjoys a tiny bit of happiness, God will ruthlessly take it away from her.

"Aunt Jane, five years ago, you told me that your daughter had married Troy. It is fine that your daughter doesn't take me seriously. However, even the two of you think lightly of me. How did I, Barry, wrong you two, making you fool me like this?"

Jane sulks and goes forward to question Barry, "What do you mean? What did we fool you for?"

"Mom, Dad, let's go back to the house, I'll explain it to you."

Seeing that the matter has come to this point, Karin knows that she can't keep hiding the truth from them. Even if she will be sad because of this result, she can only accept it and face it rather than let Barry say it. She'd better take the initiative to confess to her parents.
