Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Troy freezes for a whole minute, and when he comes to his senses, he quickly squats down, "What did

you say?"

"My mother tells me she wants to find me a father, and a brother..."

He takes a deep breath to calm down and holds her hand, "Follow me."

The two enter the elevator and arrive at the sixth floor. Just in time they meet Karin who comes out of

the shower to look for her daughter, and as soon as she sees Esme with Troy again, her face sinks at

once.

"How many times do you want to make mommy worry about you?"

She angrily yanks Esme from Troy's hand.

"You come with me for a moment."

Troy pulls her by the arm and drags her towards the elevator.

"Let go of me."

She struggles fiercely, "Let go of me."

"I have something to ask you."

"If you want to ask me something, say it now!"

Troy gives a sideways look at Esme, "Are you sure you want to say it in front of Esme?"

Karin is stunned, glaring at him with hatred, then turns to her daughter and says, "You go in to the

house first."

Esme nods nervously and trots into the house, and shuts the door of the house as well.

"I heard you're going on a blind date?"

"You are really well-informed."

"Esme tells me. But she is not happy with it at all, why not ask her consent first?"

Karin replies coldly, "It's not your turn to ask about our family's affairs."

"Your affairs are my affairs, you and Esme are my responsibility for the rest of my life!"

"Responsibility?" She looks like she hears the most ridiculous joke in the world, "Don't you think it is too

late for you to take your responsibility?"

"Life is still long for us, maybe I am missing your last five years, but I can assure you that I can make

up for you for the next fifty years as long as you want."

"What's the best way to deal with it?" She looks straight at him and makes her position clear word by

word, "I-don't-want-to."

Karin finishes her words, angrily shaking off his hand, then turns around and enters her house, closing

the door heavily.

She really wants to kill him when he talks about responsibility. When she was in her hardest time, when

she needed him the most to fulfill his duty, he was not by her side, but now she doesn’t need his help

anymore, he even dares to take the initiative to come to fulfill his duty, if she takes him back, then what

does those pain she suffered for the five years mean to him? The pain she has suffered, the humiliation

she has endured, the hard work she has done for her child and the gossip she has to swallow, all these

can not be overlooked just because he wants to take back his responsibility!

Esme curls up in the corner of the sofa, apprehensively staring at her mother sitting beside her, for half

an hour, she doesn’t say a word, the expression on her face is very gloomy.

"Mom, if you want to scold me just do it, don't act like this, okay?"

Finally she can not endure her mother’s coldness, Esme crawls over and tugs on her mother's sleeve.

She would rather be beaten by her mother than to be treated with silence.

"Esme, you are now becoming more and more naughty and makes me upset more often, do you know

that?"

Karin turns around her head and stares at her daughter with a depressing expression.

"I'm sorry..."

"If you don't want mommy to find a father for you, just tell me, why did you promise mommy in the front,

but behind my back run off to tell someone else that you don’t want a new daddy?"

Esme is very guilty, her two small hands helplessly twist together, "I am so wrong. I regretted agreeing

with your proposal, but I doesn't dare to take back my promise, so I involuntarily wants to go to find

"bad uncle" to talk about it..."

"What's the meaning of you coming to him? Don't you know that mom hates him?"

"I know, but I do not hate him like you..."

Karin is so annoyed but really does not know how to deal with her daughter. She gives a long sign,

then falls into a deep silence.

"Mom, if you must find a father for me, do I have my own voice?"

"Do you want to choose William?"

"No..."

She shakes her head, and at that moment Karin knows clearly in her heart that her daughter wants to

choose Troy, "the bad uncle". Although her choice is very unacceptable, but Karin still pretends to be

calm and asks purposely, "Then who do you want to choose?"

"The bad uncle..."

Her heart rate increases. Esme really wants him to be her new father, gloomily lowers her eyelids,

"That is impossible."

"I know that mom hates him, but Uncle Troy said that mom used to like him, if you could like him in the

past, why can't you try to like him now?"

Troy Charlie... What exactly did you say in front of the child? Karin can't wait to take Esme away now,

to somewhere that nobody knows them, as long as he can't find them.

"Listen to me carefully, if there is only one person in this world who cannot be your father, that person is

the bad uncle, do you understand?"

"Why?"

She examines her daughter's little face and replies silently in her mind, "Because once, he insisted that

he didn't want to keep you."

"It's getting late, just go to sleep."

After bringing her daughter back to her bed, Karin also goes into her bedroom, during the night, she

hears the sound of footsteps in the living room, thinking it is an illusion, and does not care much about

it. Her mind still is occupied by someone, she can not sleep at all, then the sound from the living room

comes again, this time it is not like an illusion, she gets up and gets out of bed to go to the living room

and turns on the light, but finds nothing. She checks the bathroom and kitchen over and over again, still

finds nothing, then returns to her bedroom. It’s harder for her to fall into sleep, she thinks she may

become crazy because of the presence of Troy.

Early in the morning, the door bell rings, she goes to open the door, wondering who will visit them in the

morning, then she finds out the person standing outside the door (just give me a break!) is Troy again!

He stares at her wearing an elegant outfit and asks inquisitively, "Are you really planning to go on a

blind date today?"

"So what if I am?" She asks nonchalantly in return.

"Didn't you take my words seriously yesterday?"

"Why should I take your words seriously?"

She asks again rhetorically, meaning who do you think you are.

Troy frowns, "I won't let you succeed in your blind date."

"If my blind date with someone else doesn't work out, then I'll choose William, I think you know in your

heart that he won't be scared away by your threats."

"It's my appearance that bothers you, right? In fact, there is no intention for you to find someone to live

together, right?"

"Yes."

Karin wants to close the door, Troy reaches out to stop her, "Okay, I promise you that I will leave Zurich

as soon as possible, but you must also promise me that you will not find a father for Esme, okay?"

"How dare you try to negotiate with me again?"

"My child can only call me daddy, if she can't call me daddy, I won't allow her to call anyone else daddy

either."

She smiles sarcastically, thinking he is really possessive as always.

"Is that okay?"

"Deal!"

Karin closes the door heavily. Actually she will not go to the blind date from the very beginning even if

Troy doesn’t come to her, because she knows her daughter’s real thought, and she doesn’t want to

break her heart anymore.

Now that Troy has promised to leave them, then there is no need for her to force herself to marry with

someone.

"Is it "bad uncle"?"

Returning to the table, her daughter who is eating breakfast asks in a tender voice.

"Yes."

Esme wants to ask why "bad uncle" is coming here, but she is afraid of making her mother angry, so

she changes the topic.

"When will you meet my new father?"

"I won’t go on a blind date again"

"What?" She opens her mouth wide in surprise, "Why?"

"I thinks it is meaningless if you don’t like it."

So it's because of her, Esme bites her lip and swallows to say, "Actually... if mom likes him, I can also

try to like him..."

"No need." Karin glares at her, "Eat quickly, later mommy will take you to the zoo."

"Really?" she is very upset at the beginning, the next second she jumps up with excitement.

"When has mommy ever lied to you."

"Yeah! Mommy is the best, no wonder I like you so much!"

Karin looks at her daughter, smiling happily, she would do everything for her daughter.

They go out at nine o'clock in the morning and return from the zoo until four o'clock in the afternoon. In

the evening, Karin is preparing the dinner, thinking that the steamed buns she bought in the morning

had not been eaten yet, so she calls on Esme to bring the buns to the kitchen and warm then up.

Esme brings the buns into the kitchen with a plate, she looks down, "You have eaten two buns

already?"

"I didn't eat it."

"Then how come there's only one left?" she clearly remembers that there are three left in the morning.

"No?"

Esme blinks rapidly, "Could it be eaten by rats?"

"No way, there is no rats in our house."

She goes to the living room to open the refrigerator, carefully look around, nothing unusual, and goes

back to the kitchen to continue cooking, perhaps as her daughter says, it is eaten by rats, although it

may not be possible.

During the night, Karin once again hears a strange sound, but the sound is not from the living room, but

from her closet, thinking about what happened to the bun during the day, she could not help but shiver,

tiptoeing out of bed, walks to the closet and takes a deep breath to open it. A big shadow comes to her

and when she is about to scream, her mouth is covers by the black shadow.
