"No."
"Then it doesn't matter, if they never look for your trouble, you don't need to feel sorry for anyone."
Karin stares at him meaningfully, trying to see if there is any panic on his face, "By the way, how come
I've never seen your parents?"
"You want to meet my parents?"
William is surprised, but he doesn't panic at all, and even jokingly says, "You do not intend to be with
me, why do you want to see my parents?"
"No, I am just curious."
"Oh... it's been five years and only now are you starting to be curious about me? I can tell you usually
never pay much attention to me."
He sighs sourly, "My parents had immigrated to Canada four years ago."
Immigrate to Canada?
Karin doesn’t expect him to answer her in this way and is tempted to be skeptical, but seeing the
naturalness of his answer, it doesn’t look like he is making it up, so she nods, "Okay, no wonder I never
see them before."
She leaves the manager's office listlessly, and she actually wants to ask him what relationship he has
with Emmanuel Charlie, but she beats her curiosity, thinking that she doesn’t talk too much with him,
and suddenly she becomes so curious about him, he may be suspicious and may find out that she had
been to his office this afternoon and had look through his files that she shouldn’t know.
She leaves the office with a lot of confusions. The distance from the office to her home is not far. She
keeps her head low and falls into a deep thought that she even doesn’t notice she runs into a wall of
flesh at the corner that leads to the elevator, and before she could look up, she hears a low sexy voice
that sounds so similar in her dream, "Do you pick up the money on the ground?"
She is frozen, and only after a while does she slowly look up, staring at the man in front of her in shock,
"Why are you here again?"
"Aren't you welcome me?"
Troy smiles cynically and raises his wrist to look at the time, "I've been waiting for you for half a day."
"What do you want again?"
"This time, I come back, not for business, but for you."
Karin has calmed down from her shock and sneers, "Me and Esme are not a sticky note, when you
need us we are there and when you don’t need us, you just toss us away!"
"What you're saying? I would rather throw myself away than leave you guys behind."
Troy sighs, "Last time I got an emergency in the company, otherwise I would not have left in such a
hurry, I asked Robert to call you, the guy has been tortured by Billie’s miscarriage in recent years, his
brain is not as good as before, so he forgot to call you... "
"Why should he call me? You don't have a phone yourself?"
"I'm going to say I am afraid if I hear your voice I can't leave, do you believe it?"
"Do you think I'll believe it?"
"I think... you'll believe it."
"Sorry, I don't believe it at all!"
Karin glares at him and walks straight to the elevator, and as soon as she steps into the elevator, Troy
follows her in.
"What are you doing?"
He raises his eyebrows, "I'm going home, you must have forgotten that I also live in this building."
Karin is speechless, her body turns aside, and she no longer talks to him.
The elevator stops at the sixth floor, she doesn't look back and walk out of the elevator, but Troy follows
her again.
This is her turn to raise her eyebrows, "Doesn't you forget that you live on the ninth floor?!"
"No, I doesn’t."
"Then why are you following me?"
"I'm looking for Esme."
When he mentions Esme, she gets angry, "Troy, I warn you, do not appear in front of Esme again,
since you can not give the child any hope, do not always let her down!"
He gives a long sign, "But what can I do? I've already met Esme... "
"What?" Karin is stunned, "You two have been met before?"
"Uncle Troy... "
Hearing Esme’s calling, the door of her house opens and Esme runs out excitedly and jumps into
Troy's arms.
"Tell your mother when we met."
Troy hugs Esme, his eyes are full of pride.
"It was Uncle Troy who picked me up from kindergarten. I know it, Uncle Troy will not break his promise
to me!"
"Didn't nanny go to pick you up?" She questions with a cold face.
"Yes, we come back together."
Karin steps forward and takes Esme from Troy's arms, then enters the house, and closing the door
heavily.
"Mom, Uncle Troy he... "
"Just to go your room."
Her eyes glares at her, obviously her daughter is too scared to speak, then she reluctantly moves to the
sofa and sits down.
As expected, the door bell rings, the nanny and Esme simultaneously run towards the door, "No one is
allowed to open the door." Karin gives her order.
She goes into the bedroom to change her clothes, the phone on the bed rings, she picks it up and
looks at it. It is a new message from Troy, "If you don't open the door, I'll tell Esme that I'm her father... "
Karin is so angry that she wants to smash the phone, but her sanity tells her she shouldn’t act like that,
and then she takes a deep breath and goes to open the door, then Troy walks in.
"Come with me."
She coldly says to him and walks straight into the bedroom.
"Uncle Troy... "
Esme sees her mother opening the door, and immediately runs over to Troy happily, Troy touches her
hair and says gently, "Uncle Troy has something to talk to your mother, go to watch TV first."
"Okay."
Troy enters Karin's room, looking around, and says, "I have long wants to come to your bedroom for a
look, but I never have the opportunity, today finally I have the opportunity to come to your room but
under your threat."
"What is the purpose of your visit? Or when do you plan to leave?"
"It depends."
Her heart goes cold, depending on the situation, it means he will still leave them, although she doesn't
expect him to stay, but she has her plans in her heart, if he offers to take her and Esme back to Zurich,
she will agree.
There is nothing more important than giving a child a complete home, as long as Esme is happy and
joyful, the pains she once suffered is not important at all.
However, he doesn't say so.
He doesn't say so, and she will not take the initiative to mention it. She can ignore the pains she has
suffered, but she can not lose her dignity.
"Karin, I actually have a wish that I want to fulfill when I come back this time... "
"What wish?"
"Let's go to London together."
Her heart beats faster and she restrains the pain in her heart and asks, "For what?"
"To ask for forgiveness from your parents, it's because of me that you lost your affection of your
parents, so I must get you back all that you have lost."
What I have lost... She looks deeply into his eyes, what she have lost is only her parents’ love?
Smiling sadly, "Okay, but don't say I don’t warn you before, my parents may kill you."
"If killing me will make them forgive you, then I don't mind to die."
"Why would you do that?"
"This is what I owe you, you came to me back then despite everything, but I didn't guard you, if this
matter remains unresolved, then I will also remain unsettled."
Karin is at a loss, what does Troy want now? Why after she expects him to ask her get back together,
he instead doesn't ask her back?
On the contrary, his current decision makes her feel like he wants to break up with her in the end.
"I know that you have suffered a lot in the past, and I know that you will not easily forgive me for a
while, but it does not matter, I will prove that my love for you has never changed, you no longer believe
in promises, I will no longer easily make promise to you, everything is left to time to prove it."
He stands in front of her, resting his hand on her shoulder, she finally sees the familiar affection in his
eyes again, only this time he no longer asks her to get back together, is it because, he thinks she still
refuses to forgive him?
You idiot... Karin scolds him in her heart.
"No matter when I will return to Zurich, before I return, do not isolate me again, okay? Just give me a
chance to be a dutiful father for my child, okay?"
She nods, which surprises him a lot.
The two of them go out of the bedroom, the nanny has already prepared the dinner, Troy kisses Esme's
forehead and is about to leave when Karin says, "Let's eat together."
He is stunned and immediately agrees, "Sure."
Esme is very happy and she is excitedly moving a chair for Troy, "There are only two chairs because
there are only two of us in my home before, but now I've moved another one to here, so I'll leave it
here, then I don't have to move it around again when Uncle Troy comes."
Karin smiles bitterly and looks at Troy's eyes, with mixed feelings in her heart.
"Esme, do you want to go to grandparents' house?"
"No."
Without any hesitation, Esme blurts out, compared to her excitement when hearing to go to
grandparents' home the first time, this she is quite cold about this proposal.
Karin is well-known in her heart why her daughter doesn’t want to go again, but Troy isn’t. He asks in a
soft voice, "Why?"
"They beat my mom last time and kicked us out, so I don't want to go to their home."
"This time Uncle Troy will come with you."
"Huh?"
Esme raises her eyebrows in surprise, "Why are you going to their home?"
