Capture Your Heart

Chapter 147 Doing Anything for You 2

She smiles. "Believe it or not, I've got things to hate."

"Like?"

Thinking about it for a moment, she answers seriously, "Dreaming."

"Huh?"

Jacob is confused, as he thinks nobody hates dreams while sleeping.

"Because I had a dream that ruined my lifetime happiness."

"What kind of dream?"

"It's a secret."

She lowers her head and attentively scribbles a word on the white paper—NIGHTMARE.

She has had innumerous dreams in the last twenty years, but the nightmare this time is the only one that comes true.

Therefore, she doesn't like dreams.

Jacob knows that's where he should stop asking more. After idling around in the park, he comes back to her again, propping his chin up on one arm, and asks, "What does your boyfriend look like?"

"Are you curious?"

"Kind of."

Karin pulls her phone out of her pocket and finds a photo of herself and Troy at her birthday. Showing it to Jacob, she says, "Here."

Jacob is shocked as his expression changes.

Looking at her gradually pale face, Karin asks, "Jacob, are you okay?"

"Jacob...Jacob…"

Her calling breaks through Jacob's thoughts, and Jacob shakes his head. "I'm fine, but your boyfriend looks like my stepfather, which makes me feel bad."

"Your stepfather?"

Karin's mouth drops in surprise, as she never thinks that Troy can look so evil.

Yuma rushes out of the living room and happily exclaims, "Miss Karin. Miss Karin. Mr. Troy calls and he'll be back home tonight."

"…okay."

Her response is indifferent as she's not excited about it at all.

"I've got to have a snap. I'm not feeling well."

Since Jacob looks so bad, Karin cares about him. "Shall I call a doctor for you?"

"I'm alright. Just need some me time."

"Fine. I'll let you know when it's dinner."

It's ten in late night. Karin stands in front of the French window of the bedroom, hearing the familiar car horns, and she knows Troy comes back. Finally, he comes back after his leaving for three days.

Swiveling around, she slowly steps downstairs and finds Troy has already walked in the living room. Noticing her presence, he walks up toward her in surprise, saying, "You haven't slept, Karin."
