Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 234

"Mom, can we go home by this Mister's car?"

Karin stands at the front gate of the hospital, trying to stop a taxi, and Esme cautiously asks. From not far behind, Troy is staring at the mother and daughter deeply, with unspeakable sadness on his face.

After hearing what her daughter says, she lowers her head and glances at her sharply, and Esme becomes silent...

After getting back home, Esme consciously stretches out her hand, waiting to be punished.

But this time, her mother doesn't punish her, but cries unscrupulously in front of her. Esme feels sad when she sees her mother crying. She hugs her mother's neck and says, "Mom, beat me. I didn't behave well again..."

"Will you not talk to that uncle again next time you see him if I beat you?"

As expected, her daughter doesn't say anything.

"Do you like him?"

"Yes..." Esme meekly nods.

"Why do you like him? Didn't you say that he is a bad person before?"

"He is like my father. When I was eating, he looked at me the same way as you looked at me. I have tried very hard not to talk to him, but when he took the initiative to talk to me, I couldn't ignore him."

The air is deadly silent, and after a long while, she says, "I see." Then she says nothing, turns and goes into the bathroom.

Squatting on the floor of the bathroom, tears sliding straight down her cheeks, she wonders, is this what people called "blood is thicker than water"? William has been with Esme for five years. She just likes him, but never says that he is like her father. Troy has only shown up for a single month, and Esme feels that he is like her father, because of him, she even didn't listen to her, which makes Karin very heartbroken and helpless. She suddenly doesn't know what to do...

The phone in her pocket rings, she glances at the number, hesitates for a few seconds, presses the answer button, but doesn't speak, only waiting for the other end to speak first.

"Come to my place, let's talk."

She hangs up the phone right away, closes her eyes, puts one hand on her forehead, and drowns into painful feelings. She knows exactly what Troy is going to talk to her even without thinking about it. Now they have nothing to talk about except about the child.

Troy waits for a long time and doesn't see her coming, so he calls again, "Do you want me to go to your place?"

Karin knows that she can't escape tonight. She takes a towel and washes her face. She walks out of the bathroom and says to her daughter who is watching cartoons, "Esme, The Mister has something to talk with mommy. I'll go over. Don't run around."

"Okay, I won't let mommy worry again."

Esme nods sensibly, with guilt in her eyes.
