Prev Chapter Next Chapter

By the time they return home in a daze, it has been noon. Seeing that Karin is at a loss, Mike and Jane

feel upset in their heart.

When they are having lunch, Mike asks, "What's the urgent matter that caused Troy to leave alone

first?"

Karin glances at Esme, who is equally curious, and replies softly, "It is something about the company."

"Then what are your plans? You're not going back to Edinburgh, are you?"

Jane interjects, "You've already come back. So what's the point of going back there?"

"I have to go back there. After all, I have worked there for five years. Even though I plan to resign, I

have to do it according to the normal procedure."

"Then when will you go back there?"

"Tomorrow."

"What about Esme? You don't need to take Esme there with you, right?"

"Yes, she can stay in London, I'll go there alone."

Esme raises her eyes gloomily, "Mom, are you going to leave me behind as Dad does?"

Karin shakes her head, "No, your dad is going home to deal with some urgent matters and will come

back to pick us up soon. Mommy is going to Edinburgh to quit my job as well as transfer you to another

school. Moreover, we have to move a lot of our things over."

"Yes, Esme, you are so cute, your mom and dad surely love you so much. How could they leave you

behind?"

Jane rubs her granddaughter's hair dotingly.

Little Esme nods her head in a lost voice, "Okay then..."

Karin returns to Edinburgh the next day and goes to work normally during the day. At noon, she prints

out a resignation letter and then goes to the General Manager's office with a complicated feeling.

She knocks on the door. And William's voice comes from inside, "Come in."

She pushes the door open and goes in. Glancing that it is her, William gets up in surprise, "Are you

back?"

"Yeah."

Walking forward a few steps, she puts her resignation in front of him and says softly, "Sorry, I'm here to

submit my resignation letter to you."

William is stunned. As he looks askance at the resignation letter on the table, his expression suddenly

becomes indifferent. And he doesn’t say a word for quite a while.

"Thank you for your care over these five years."

He questions painfully, "These five years have passed. Could it be that you don’t even have a little

feeling for me?"

Karin lowers her head and dares not to look him in the eyes, "I made it very clear to you from the

beginning that no way that I could be with you."

"I don't hope that you have to be with me. But isn't it good for us to work together like this now? Should

you have to leave?"

"All things must come to an end. Since we can’t be lovers, there surely will be a day when we have to

go our separate ways."

"Is it because of him? He came back for you. That's the reason why you want to leave, right?"

"Even if he doesn't come back, I will leave sooner or later. Anyway, I can't stay here for the rest of my

life."

William suddenly laughs sarcastically. And the look in his eyes indicates that he has been greatly hurt,

"Am I that bad? It took me ten years to love two women. But neither of them loved me, even for one

day."

Karin, who is very upset, comforts him, "It isn’t that you are bad. It is that you loved the wrong person.

To find someone you love, you have to fall in love with the right person at the right time. You aren’t

morally bad. And your conditions are also very good. I believe that one day you will meet the person

you love who will also love you."

"There won't be."

William coldly shifts his eyes to the azure sky outside the window, "I will never love someone else

again. Neither do I want to love. Life is too short to be consumed like this. There will be a time when I

feel exhausted."

Karin is originally kind. Moreover, she has suffered from the pain of love. So at this moment, she can

understand William's feelings. However, besides understanding him, she can’t do anything else.

The atmosphere is incomparably gloomy for a while. Then she takes a last glance at the man in front of

her, whispers a goodbye, and turns around to leave.

As she is about to pull open the door and walk out, William opens his mouth meaningfully, "I'll see you

again."

She slowly turns around and wrinkles her eyebrows slightly, feeling confused as to what he means.

"If you go back to Troy's side, then I think there surely will be a chance for us to meet again."

"Do you plan to go to Zurich?"

"I'm not interested in Zurich at all. But I'm interested in the people in Zurich, especially Troy. The two

women I've spent ten years loving are both loyal to him, which is a kind of blow to me. So if there is a

chance, I hope I can meet up with him in the business field. I'd like to see, after winning me over in the

relationship, will he do the same and overwhelm me in the career."

"You have Emmanuel to back you up, right?"

Originally, Karin didn’t want to say it. However, since William provokes her first, she can’t care less.

As expected, when William hears her words, a trace of surprise flashes across his eyes. But he looks

surprised only for a moment. And he quickly recovers his calmness and composure.

"If you want to say that you already know that this company is Emmanuel's, there is nothing strange

about it. Five years ago, my parents transferred the company to him. But the Charlie Family has a rule

that the descendants aren’t allowed to run private businesses in L Country. So he entrusted me to run it

for him. You know that in Zurich, he is my boss. And he has always favored and appreciated me. So if it

is me rather than other people who run the company for him, he will be more at ease. Moreover, my

father spent a lot of effort on Hankseuk. Even though it's not the Shelton family's asset anymore, I will

still run it as the best as I can as if it's my industry."

What William said almost coincides with Troy’s explanation. So Karin doesn’t have any doubts.

However, there is just one thing that she can’t understand, "Is Emmanuel simply a superior to you?

Your parents also run a business. So why don't you even work for your own family rather than working

for outsiders all the time?"

"Emmanuel is kind to me. I had a conflict with my father and went to Zurich alone. In the most destitute

time, it was he who lent me a helping hand and allowed me to work in his company while completing

four years of schooling. After graduation, I went directly into his company. So many years have passed,

I have considered him someone that is more intimate to me than my relatives."

"So both your parents don't mind having you as a son for nothing?"

"I have been at odds with my father since I was a child. Fortunately, I have two older brothers. So it

doesn't matter if our family has me or not. No one will pay attention to it."

William's face once again looks gloomy. It seems that he is revealing what perturbs him the most in his

heart. Karin takes a deep breath, pulls open the door, and walks out. It seems that she had asked

William some questions that should not be asked. If it weren’t for Troy, she wouldn’t have intended to

voice her confusion at all.

The resignation letter is finally approved. But the date is three days later. Karin doesn’t feel that it is too

late. After working for five years in this company, she knows that getting the resignation procedure

completely cleared within three days is sort of fast.

That evening, she stands in front of the window of Star River Community and glances at the west,

searching for the shining guardian star representing Troy. The weather tonight doesn’t seem to be

good. Setting aside the guardian star, only a few stars are scattered in the sky. Failing to see what she

wants to see, Karin suddenly is in a very bad mood. She has been clutching at the cell phone, waiting

for Troy to call her. According to Troy, he will call her at 9 p.m. on time.

But now, it's already 10:30 p.m. And he hasn't called her. She's starting to think about whether she

should call him.

After she conflicts a little while, she finally takes the initiative to call him. She doesn’t want him to feel

that she is worried about him. Even so, if she doesn’t call him, she would have always been worried.

In that case, she can do nothing.

The phone keeps ringing for a long time before it is answered. And his magnetic voice comes over the

phone, "Hello, Karin?"

"Is your watch out of order?"

He is stunned. And then it dawns on him as he says, "Sorry, I am in a private meeting, thinking that I'll

call you after I finish the meeting."

"Oh, it's okay. Go ahead then." As long as he is okay, she will be relieved.

"Okay, I'll call you when I'm done then."

"Okay."

Karin breathes a sigh of relief. She, who has been anxious and worried, finally becomes relieved. As

long as she hears his voice, all her anxiety will dissipate.

After taking a bath and lying down on the bed to rest, she falls asleep without realizing it. In the middle

of the night, she is woken up by the ringtone of her cell phone. And when she sees that it is Troy calling

her, she immediately presses the answer button, "Hello?"

"I woke you up, didn't I?"

"You're not in a meeting until now, are you?" At the thought of this possibility, she is heartbroken. After

all, it is quite late now.

"No, it ended early. Robert suggested having a snack. Then I went home and took a shower before

calling you."
