Chapter 155 Promise vs. Responsibility 3

Prev Chapter Next Chapter

"Give me a wedding, no matter what, give me one."

Tears roll down from Mia's face, "Even if it is not for the truth of your parents' death, you owe me after

all. Can you give me a wedding? I beg you…"

"Is a loveless marriage really that important to you?"

"For you, it may be just a loveless marriage, which is meaningless. But for me, it is my wish for many

years. I know you can't leave Karin. It's okay. I have thought about it clearly, I just want you to give me

a perfect wedding. When the wedding is over, I will leave Zurich right away, and wherever you send me

to, I will never come back for the rest of my life."

Troy looks at her in surprise, and his heart is a little softened, "If this is the case, why do you need a

cumbersome ceremony? Marriage is not a child's play. Once you enter the church, your leave is not

enough to clarify our relationship."

"With things as such, how can I dare to expect a long-lasting marriage? I just want to realize my dream

for many years. Since a long, long time ago, I hoped to be your bride in a white wedding dress. Now,

the wedding is about to be held in just a week, but you are going to break your promise again. Do you

think my heart can bear the blows again and again? You said that loving someone is fulfillment rather

than possession, so I don't want to possess you, what I ask for is just a wedding, other than that, I

won't ask you for anything..."

Troy knows that such a request is not an overclaim, but when he closes his eyes and thinks of the

promise he gave to Karin, he can't agree to her request, "I'm sorry..."

"If we don't even get marriage license, does it work for you?"

Mia asks sternly in a loud voice, and more tears are streaming down from the corner of her eyes, "You

will still be single without the license. When I leave, you can marry Karin and you can get what you

want from my uncle. And I won't tell anyone that our wedding is just a formality. You help me realize my

dream and I will help you fulfill your life. From then on, we will not owe each other."

Although it seems like a fair deal, he knows it will break his woman's heart.

"Mia, a man can only walk down the aisle with one woman in his whole life. Even it is just formality, it

shouldn't be done randomly."

"Troy, I have already given up so much, why don't you just agree? Is your heart made of stone?"

Mia can't help crying. She covers her face with her hands, and cries sadly, "You said, a man can only

walk down the aisle with one woman in his whole life. Then tell me, what's the most important thing in a

woman's life?"

He does not speak, and she says it for him, "The most important thing in a woman's life is to get

married and have children. I have already become like this, and you know that I have no fertility now. I

don't expect to give birth to a child with my beloved man, and don't expect to have a child who calls me

mother. I am destined to die alone like this..."

Troy's heart is pulled together, and he suddenly doesn't know what to say. Closing his eyes, it is Karin

who asked him with the last hope, "Can I trust you for another time?"

Opening his eyes, it is the heartbroken woman crying in front of him, with the pleading look in her eyes.

It is a confrontation between promise and responsibility, and he is stuck in the painful stage of making a

decision...

"Troy, please, please agree to my request. A single "yes" from you is my motivation to live. I don't have

legs, but if I could stand up, I would kneel down to beg you. I can even give up my dignity, as long as

you help me realize my only wish, please…"

Mia was once a proud woman. She would not bow her head to others easily, let alone beg others...

Troy looks at her painfully and desperately. What is it that has made her pride disappear and become

as lowly as she is now? Is it really him, who has ruined her life?

"Okay, I promise you." Closing his eyes, he finally makes a difficult decision, "But remember, once the

wedding is over, the grievance between us is wiped out. From then on, the Charles family will never

owe Mia and her parents anymore."

Mia nods heavily.

After leaving Charlie Mansion, Troy drives to see Sis Lily...

Since Billie and Robert's relationship has made a breakthrough, she happily invites Karin to karaoke.

Without a doubt, she also invites William.

They sit in the box, each in a good mood. In the middle, Karin goes to the restroom.

In less than ten minutes after she comes back from the restroom, a waiter walks in and says, "Which

one is Miss Karin?"

"I am, why?"

Karin turns her head in surprise.

"There is a guest in Box No. 7 who wants to invite you over for a drink."

"Who?"

"It is not convenient for me to disclose the privacy of the guests. You will know when you get there."

William shakes his head, "Don't go."

Billie also finds it unreliable, "He's right, don't go."

"The guest said, he is your friend, and also a friend of Mr. Troy's."

A friend of hers and also Troy's? Who will that be? Karin is a little curious and lowers her voice to say

to her friends, "Should I just go over and take a look?"

"But what if it is a bad guy."

Billie is quite nervous and William echoes, "You'd better not to, Troy's enemies are quite a number of

people."

"It will be fine. I'll take a look and come back. If I don't get back in 10 minutes, you know what to do."

She gets up and resolutely walks out of the box.

She stops at the door of Box No. 7, hesitates for a while, and knocks on the door.

"Are you the one looking for me?"

On the black sofa, there is a man sitting with his back facing her, and he looks somewhat familiar.

"Yes."

"Stanley?!"

As the man turns around, Karin opens her mouth in astonishment, and immediately turns around to

leave, but she is stopped by the man with a swift move.

"Why do you run away as soon as you see me? Am I that scary?"

"What do you want?"

She asks coldly.

"Can you sit down first? I'm still your brother-in-law. Don't look at me with such hatred."

"Oh, you know that you are my brother-in-law. Why don't I think you behave like a brother-in-law?"

"What do you think a brother-in-law should be like?"

"At the very least, behave properly."

"Am I misbehaving? What did I do to you..."?

Stanley looks completely innocent, as if he has totally forgotten last time when he was drunk in Charlie

Mansion.

"I don't want to talk to you. Please move away."

"But I want to talk to you."

"What on earth are you trying to say?" Karin gets a little impatient.

"I just wanna ask whether you and Troy are over."

"No. We are very good and about to get married. So please stop pestering me!"

Stanley chuckles, "Getting married? With whom? You and he? Or he and Mia?"

"Certainly, it's me and him!"

Karin's face turns a bit red.

"With you? But how do I remember that he and Mia are having the wedding in one week?"

"It has fallen through. Wait and see if you don't believe me."

"Did Troy say it?"

"Whoever said it doesn't matter, I said it has fallen through, then it is through!"

Stanley shakes his head and is filled with emotion, "Karin, don't be silly. How can a wedding be easily

canceled? Troy is most likely fooling you."

"You mean Troy and Mia are still getting married?"

"Yes."

She smiles sarcastically, "Then, who do you think I trust more, between you and Troy?"

"Of course you trust him."

"Then it's done!"

Karin pushes him away and walks out of the box without looking back.

When she gets back at Ziteng Garden, it's already 10 o'clock in the evening. Troy has come home

ahead of her and is amazingly sitting on the sofa in the living room and watching TV.

"I'm back."

She runs up to him, with a big smile on her face, and sits next to him.

"Where have you been?"

"Billie invites me to karaoke."

"Was William there too?"

"Yep." She glances at him, "You are not jealous, are you?"

"Nah."

"Great." She is in relief.

"Have you heard any rumors lately?"

Troy seems to ask randomly, but his eyes are flickering.

"Yes."

Karin replies, annoyed, "It's all about you."

"What rumors?"

"Something like you and Mia are still getting married, like you are fooling me, and the wedding will be

held as scheduled in a week, something like that."

"Do you believe that?"

"Of course I don't!"

She looks at him confidently, "I only believe in you, because you are the last person to fool me in this

world."

Troy looks down, lights a cigarette, puts it to his mouth and takes a sip. After a circle of smoke is

dispersed, he says, "Karin, I have something to tell you..."
