Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 233

"Hasn't your mother brought you here before?"

Seeing her looking around with her big curious eyes, he guesses it should the first time for her to come here.

"Hmm, no, my mother says that British food is the most nutritious in the world, and she wants me to grow strong."

"But you don't seem to be very strong." One could even say she's thin.

"Because I'm not very healthy, what my mother most afraid of is me being sick. Every time I get sick, she could hardly eat or sleep."

Troy feels bitter in his heart suddenly.

After ordering a table of food, he eats with Esme. Halfway through the meal, he asks meaningfully, "Do you hate me?"

"I used to."

"What about now?"

"Not anymore."

"Why?"

"Because you always show up when I am hungry."

"Hehe," Troy can't help but chuckle. There is no denying that this is a very cute and honest child.

"But I feel sorry."

"Sorry for what?"

"I feel very sorry for my mother. My mother likes me so much, but I like people that my mother doesn't like. William, and you."

Esme rested her cheeks in her hands, "It's really distressing..."

"Actually, your mother doesn't hate me all the time, she used to like me..."

"Really? Have you known each other for a long time?"

"Well, you weren't born yet when we met."

"Really? Then do you know who my father is?"

Troy is suddenly silent, facing Esme's expectant gaze, he puts a lot of efforts and says with difficulty, "I don't know..."

Esme gets gloomy immediately, droops her head and mutters, "It seems that only my mother knows, but I dare not ask."

"Do you really want to know who your father is?"

"Yup."

"Why do you want to know?"

"My grandpa and grandma don't want my mother anymore. I want to find my father and ask him why he doesn't want her either..."

Troy's eyes suddenly redden, and he feels as if his heart is being pressed by a large stone, which is so heavy that makes him unable to breathe.

"Last time my mother took me to my grandmother's house, I was really happy, but I didn't expect to see them quarrel later. My grandparents drove my mother out. It rained a lot that night, and my mother hugged me, kneeling outside grandma's house, but they just wouldn't open the door. Later, William came and took my mother and me away..."

Although Esme doesn't say why specifically, Troy knows it well. His gaze is drawn out of the window, far, far away.

Out of the restaurant, he takes Esme's hand and says, "Is there anything you want? I will buy it for you."

"Actually, I just wanted to say that food here is really delicious, can I have a takeaway for my mother..."

Troy smiles bitterly, "Your mother won't eat it. She won't eat what I buy her."

Thinking of her stubbornness, he feels more bitter in his heart.

"Okay then, let's go home. My mom should be worried when she comes back and can't find me."

"Don't you want anything as a gift?"
