Sitting at the corner with her body curling up, she let her thoughts drift far, far away, until the previous
tranquility is restored downstairs, she realizes that the three young ladies of Charles family have
already left.
She slowly stands up, bends over and rubs her numb knees, and someone says, “I know you are
eavesdropping here.”
She suddenly raises her head, and meets Troy's face with a playful look on it, and straightens up
embarrassedly, “I...”
“No need to explain. It's not a secret conversation anyway.”
Troy takes her hand, just before taking a step, she staggers and almost falls to the ground.
“What’s wrong?”
“It's still a bit numb.” She points to her legs awkwardly.
Troy doesn’t say a word, and picks her up immediately and walks towards the bedroom.
“Are you saying that because you knew I was eavesdropping?”
When they arrive in the bedroom, she hesitates and asks casually.
“What?”
“You just protected me.”
“Of course not.” He squats down in front of her, “I mean it all from the bottom of my heart.”
Karin ponders for a moment, reaches out and wraps her arms around his neck, lay on his shoulder and
says, “Thank you, Troie.”
“I’m so happy.”
Troy grins, “I was upset because of the fight just now. Now I hear someone call me Troie, and I feel
much better suddenly.”
“Forget about it.”
“About what?”
“The matter between Billie and Robert, I thought it was easy to solve. It looks more complicated than I
thought. From your standpoint, it's not appropriate for you to intervene, so just forget it."
“How can it be forgotten? No matter how complicated it is, it can be solved with the intention of solving
it.”
“But I don't want you to be caught in the middle, and I don't want to see you being condemned by your
family.”
Troy's eyes suddenly brighten, “Can I take that as you are caring about me?”
Karin does not speak, but silently thinks in her heart, “I always care about you.”
“Don’t be guilty. Actually, even if it’s not for you, I’ll intervene in this matter. Robert has been with me for
so many years, he is not only my friend and right-hand man, but also someone so close like my
shadow. I wish I could have happiness, of course I also hope that my shadow is happy.”
“But Robert may not think so, he never thought of canceling the marriage.”
“That's why I have to intervene. I know Robert well. It’s not he doesn't want to, but he is stuck with the
strong idea of staying loyalty. When a person is instilled some deep-rooted concepts since a young
age, then it will become a habit for him. Robert has become accustomed to obeying Charles family, and
suddenly letting him get rid of this habit is by no means an easy task.”
“Then what are you going to do?”
“I want to challenge all the unreasonable regulations of the family.”
Troy hugs her, grits his teeth and says, “Because of these unreasonable regulations, we love so
difficultly. Commitment, responsibility, these are things that should not exist at all. They should have
been abandoned long ago. In the eyes of my family, I’m already a sinner, so I’ll commit the crime to the
end. Starting from my own generation, I will subvert all traditional concepts so that the next generation
will no longer have to carry any heavy burdens. The same goes for the Gray family. I will never let
Robert’s future generations, go through fire and water for Charles family. They should live their own
lives, and their lives should not only exist for loyalty from birth.”
Karin is shocked. If she didn’t know Troy before, then she really understands him at this moment. He is
a man of sentiment and righteousness, a man of thought and opinion, and a man she can commit
herself to for the rest of her life.
“It may be difficult, but as long as one person understands me will be fine. Karin, you will always be by
my side, right?”
Troy holds her tighter. Doing anything will require courage, and this courage can only be given by the
person he loves most.
“Yep.”
She nods heavily.
“Then will you forgive me? About Mia, I solemnly apologize to you, can you forgive me?”
These days, even if she is by his side, he is still uneasy, because he clearly feels that her heart hasn’t
opened for him. He wanted to walk in again and again, but was turned away again and again.
Karin doesn’t speak, but stares at him quietly. Before his eyes get gloomy, she leans forward and
kisses his forehead.
This is the best answer. The meaning of kissing the forehead means “I forgive you”.
Troy certainly understands the meaning, he picks her up in excitement, and spins for a while in the
bedroom.
“What about the wedding? Will you agree to it?”
He follows up the victory and asks, Karin smiles helplessly, “Don't push your luck.”
“Let’s solve it all at once, come on, tell me!”
Seeing the expectation in his eyes, she purses her lip, and finally nods.
“Amazing, you finally agree! Great...”
Troy is instantly happy like a child. He holds Karin and spins countless times until they are exhausted
and fall on the bed.
Staring at each other affectionately, he gently touches her face and says, “I am not a perfect, but I will
definitely give you a perfect marriage.”
“I don't need you to be perfect, I just need you to make me feel, I am the only one.”
She raises her hand, “Let's make a promise, starting today, no matter what happens, we will never give
up on each other again!”
“Sure.” Troy also raises his hand.
With a snap, two palms come together.
“Do you know what it is called?”
“A promise.”
“No, it's an oath.”
“An oath?”
“Yep."
“What happens if you break the oath?”
“You will die miserably.”
He pulls her arm to her armpit, and says confidently, “Then I must not give up on you, because I can't
die yet. I'm afraid if I am dead, no one will love you more than I do.”
Why does this sound so familiar? Karin rolls her eyes and says, “If you want to add a time limit to this
love, do you want it to be ten thousand years?”
Before he answers, she smiles and gets up.
After taking a warm shower, she finally feels that she is alive. She is humming a song while preparing
to put on her pajamas. Unexpectedly, the door of the bathroom is suddenly opened, and somebody just
rushes in topless.
“Hey!” She blushes suddenly, and grabs a towel, trying to cover her eyes. But he looks calm, and
wraps her in the towel, and walks directly to the big bed. While walking, he accurately slides his hand
into the towel that covers her up.
Now her face turns red all over, and she wants to get out his wicked hand. However, he is taking the
advantage of her so smoothly, and even his tone is very serious, “Just now, I took you back to the
bedroom because your legs were sore, and I didn’t ask you for travel expenses. What’s wrong with I
asking for a tip now?”
She grits her teeth with anger, and moves her head to take a bite with on his bare arm.
“Hiss...” After biting so hard, she realizes that her teeth are about to fall off. She is so painful that she
sees stars. She whimpers and scolds him. However, he laughs, and only after he places her in the quilt
that he reaches out to rub her cheeks.
“It's harder than a rock.” She mutters with her face livid.
“There is more than one place that is harder than a rock on me.” He says lightly.
Karin sniffs the fresh smell of his body and is still confused. After five minutes, she figures it out, and
quickly jumps up, wanting to choke him.
This night, both their bodies and hearts are all in one, and the distance between them is narrowed.
From Troy’s eyes, Karin feels his desire to break free from his fate, so she opened the door of love to
him again, and wants to break free together with him, and conquers the ruthless fate.
She doesn’t dare to tell Billie about her wedding, because she is afraid of irritating her, but she still finds
out.
In the early winter afternoon, the two of them sit on the side of the playground in University of Zurich,
looking at the familiar campus in front of them, feeling a lot in their hearts.
“I heard you are getting married?”
Billie asks casually.
“How do you know?”
“Don't forget, I'm an employee of Charlie Group. It's hard to not know that the boss is getting married.”
“Actually, I wanted to tell you a few days ago, I'm just worried that you...”
Billie smiles, “It's okay, I know you're worried that I will be sad, but it really doesn't matter, everything is
over.”
“Are you all right?”
“Do I look like I’m not?”
“You are pretending to be alright.”
“I am not pretending.”
Karin grabs her shoulder tenderly, “Whether you pretend or not, don’t be discouraged. As long as
Robert doesn’t get married for a day, you still have hope.”
“Even if he doesn't get married, it won't be possible for us.”
“Why?”
“I'm going back home.”
“Return to Britain?” Karin pushes her in shock, “You are crazy, you finally got a good job, why will you
give up for a man?”
“It's not because of him, but I just feel here is not for me.”
“Then why did you drop everything behind and stay here?”
“It was because of love, but now, there is nothing to keep me here.”
“Troy says that he would not let Robert and Gigi marry, can you hold on to it?”
Billie shakes her head, “I don't want the love that others help me get.”
Seeing her friend's lonely eyes, Karin sighs slightly, and stops comforting her. Maybe it’s better for her
to leave, since Robert doesn't have that kind of thought, what's the use if only Billie has it? After all,
love is not one man's business.
“Alright, whatever you decide to do, I will support you.”
Billie hugs her, “Thank you.”
“Have you decided when to leave?”
“Certainly after your wedding. Have you chosen your bridesmaid? If not, let me be your bridesmaid?”
Karin is a little embarrassed, and whispers, “I haven’t yet, but the best man may be
Robert.”
“Return to Britain?” Karin pushes her in shock, “You are crazy, you finally got a good job, why will you
give up for a man?”
“It's not because of him, but | just feel here is not for me.”
“Then why did you drop everything behind and stay here?”
“It was because of love, but now, there is nothing to keep me here.”
“Troy says that he would not let Robert and Gigi marry, can you hold on to it?”
Billie shakes her head, “I don't want the love that others help me get.”
Seeing her friend's lonely eyes, Karin sighs slightly, and stops comforting her. Maybe it’s better for her
to leave, since Robert doesn't have that kind of thought, what's the use if only Billie has it? After all,

“Alright, whatever you decide to do, | will Support you.”
Billie hugs her, “Thank you.”
“Have you decided when to leave?”
“Certainly after your wedding. Have you chosen your bridesmaid? If not, let me be your bridesmaid?”
Karin is a little embarrassed, and whispers, “I haven't yet, but the best man may be
Robert.”
