Karin calmly answers his questions, then Troy stays in silence. What done is done, it is impossible for
him to win her back. It is she who gives up on him, if not for her giving him up, today her daughter
would not be alive in this world.
He will not find any reason to excuse himself for his debt to her.
"It’s okay."
She finishes tidying up, puts the medicine on the coffee table back into the medicine box, and picks up
his blood-stained shirt on the floor, and walks into the bathroom.
Troy follows her over, seeing her squatting on the floor to wash his clothes, and says softly, "Just put it
in the wishing machine."
"It's cleaner to wish by hand."
She doesn’t look up, her tone is flat. Troy stands for a while, then turns around and goes back to the
living room.
Karin finishes wishing his clothes and walks out of the bathroom, Troy has been lying on the sofa
asleep, he is naked on the top, not wearing a piece of clothes.
She goes into his room to get a blanket to cover him. She looks at his chest where he had been
stabbed with a knife, her hand unconsciously reaches over, almost touching his old wound, but at the
critical moment, her sanity returns, she slowly retracts her hand.
But, right in that moment, the sleeping man suddenly takes her hand into his palm, she is stunned,
trying to escape from his hand, but he holds her hands tightly, which is about to drag her towards to his
side.
Her face is pressed against his chest, listening to his heartbeat, she is totally at a loss.
"Karin, let’s be together again, okay?"
Troy leisurely opens his eyes, his eyes are filled with great expectation.
Karin's mind becomes muddled from the moment her hand is grabbed by him, she freezes and stands
in front of him, with a pair of empty eyes, not responding to his words.
"Tonight is just an accident, but do you know how scared I am? What if I don't live here? I can't stand
that you and Esme will suffer any more pain, even though I know I have no right to ask you to do
anything... "
Troy gets up and hugs her into his arms, kissing her earlobe.
His kiss makes her come back to her senses, pushing him away and hurriedly questioning him, "Don't
say such words again, or I will really think that tonight is all deliberately planned by you."
Seeing that she leaves his house hurriedly, Troy falls back to the sofa... in dismay.
The next morning, Robert sees him sulking and asks with concern, "What's wrong again?"
He already knows that the house he is looking for is in the same building as Karin’s, and is excited
about it for a long time, feeling that it is a sign that it is their destiny to be together.
"What does it take to win back a woman's heart?"
Troy concernedly stares at the building under construction in front of him. His eyes are full of sadness.
"It's not that you wants to get back together with Miss Karin and she rejected you, right?"
"Yes."
In front of the people who is closest to him, he doesn’t want to conceal anything.
"It's normal to be rejected by her, it's lucky that you didn’t get a slap from her."
"How do you know she didn't slap me?"
"Did she?" Robert is quite surprised."
Troy sighs slightly, "From your standpoint, do you think my request to ask her back is too much?"
"Yes, it is not only too much, but too cheeky. Five years ago when she left you, you didn’t do anything
to keep her, and now she goes through her hardest time with a child, you say you want to get back
together, what do you call this? To put it simply, it's called reap where you have not sown. Yes, the child
is the seed you sowed, but the seed sown does not mean that you can sit back and wait for a good
harvest. You also have to put your effort in it, to water, to weed, to spread fertilizer, everything is
indispensable, when it is a small tree, it is the time when you are the most needed, but now it has grow
into a large tree, you say you want to fulfill your duty, don’t you think it is too late for you?"
Robert is in the moment of letting out his emotion, saying out what he has kept long ago. He completely
doesn’t notice the man around him has been glared at him angrily, when he is about to stop, he only
finds that if a man’s gaze can kill, he has died a thousand times...
In the evening after dinner, Karin sits with her daughter on the sofa watching TV, watching the hottest
TV drama "Home Temptations".
She is bored to death when watching it, but Esme is excited to watch it.
"Pinru is so poor, her husband sees her falling into the sea and doesn't save her? How can there be
such a bad husband in this world? I can't stand it."
Esme pounds her chest heavily, Karin looks at her daughter, "I can not stand it, just change the
channel."
"No. I don’t want to."
She holds the remote control tightly, "There is no better TV drama than this... "
"How old are you? Is this suitable for you to watch it?"
"Why is it not suitable? Many my classmates are watching it."
"..."
Karin is speechless, she has to admit that the children nowadays are really overly precocious, no
wonder in recent years, the ratings of the animation industry have plummeted.
Ring, ring, ring...
The phone rings, Esme immediately jumps up, runs to the landline phone and picks it up quickly,
"Hello, hello, who is it?"
"Oh good, no problem... "
"Okay, bye~"
She hangs up the phone with a smile on her face.
"Who is it?" Karin asks her suspiciously.
"It's the bad uncle."
"Why does he call us?" Her heart beat fasts.
"Let mommy go to his house to help him put on his medicine."
What? Karin sneers, thinking that this man really has no shame, "Just ignore him."
"You can’t, I have promised him."
"Who teaches you to make a promise for me?"
"He is our life saver!"
Esme says rightfully, Karin actually has no words to refute.
"Just go mom, didn't you teach me from my childhood that children can't lie and that we should keep
our words? If you don't go to help him, Esme will break my words too."
"You... "
Karin is speechless, she has to stand up and mutters, "Who are you acting like?"
"The child you gives birth to, you do not know who I looks like?"
Esme replies her mother quickly, Karin is completely speechless again...
Thinking about what happened last night, she is a bit concerned that he will overact again. After a long
thought, she decides to take Esme with her, and of course, the little girl is very happy about it.
The first thing she does when they arrive at Troy's house is to turn on the TV and then proceeds to
watch "Home Temptations", Troy sits next to her and asks in surprise, "Why don't you watch cartoons?"
"Cartoons are so boring and uneducated."
He stags, glancing back at Karin, she is so embarrassed that she wants to find a hole to hide.
"Uncle Troy does not like to watch this?"
"No."
Troy nods his head certainly and asks her meaningfully, "Your mother should like to watch it, right?"
"My mother doesn't like to watch it, she said she will be angry when she looks at that man."
"Which man?"
"Just that man Hong Shixian who knows his wife is pregnant but still doesn’t save her and cheats with
another woman behind his wife’s back."
"Esme!"
Karin glares at her daughter, signaling her to stop talking.
Troy's expression stiffens and turns back to ask Karin teasingly, "Do you come to my house to watch
TV to save money on electricity? Or do you come to help me to put on medicine?"
"You... you just take off you shirt, okay?"
Karin awkwardly lowers her head and walks over to him.
She is putting medicine on his shoulder while listening to him discussing the plot with Esme. She just
wants to die at that moment. The following is the content of the dialogue between the two
"Is this Hong Shixian really that bad? Would he have his own difficulties, he looks quite nice."
"My mother said, you can not judge a person from his appearance, the more good-looking they are, the
more likely they are monsters."
"That's not necessarily true, right? There are still good men in this world, like that Gao Wenyan in the
TV drama."
"My mother said, men are all unreliable, it is rather good to believe that there are ghosts in the world
than to trust the words from the men."
Troy turns his head in shock and gazes deeply at Karin, his mouth doesn’t say anything, but his eyes
convey what he wants to say, is this how you teach your daughter? Hmm?
"Actually nothing is unforgivable, as long as the girl still loves the boy, and the boy can repent in time, I
think... "
He doesn’t finish his sentence and is interrupted by Esme, "That is impossible, I... "
"What did your mother say again?" This time, it is his turn to interrupt her.
Karin could not stand it and deliberately pinches on Troy's wound, causing him to wail in pain, and
finally they stop discussing this topic that makes her want to die.
