Capture Your Heart

Chapter 191 I Want to Prove Myself 3

She smiles and intwines her arm with his. “Come on. I’m hungry.”

They step into the dining hall together as Yuma has already got the dinner prepared well. On the table is a vase with some roses in it, fresh beads of dews covering it.

“Happy Valentine’s Day!”

Troy hands her an exquisite jewelry box. It takes a moment for her to realize what happened. “I’m so sorry. I don’t have any gifts for you as I forget it’s a special day.”

“Never mind, but I think I should get double gifts on the next Valentine’s day.”

Feeling bitterly upset as she nods in agreement. If troy figures out what happened in the hotel, will he love her the same?”

Noticing she’s absent-minded, he cares about her. “What’s on your mind? Aren’t you hungry?”

“Yes, I am.”

She lowers her head to have some food, trying to conceal her unease.

“I’ve been considering if we should hold our wedding in London? I think, at least, we should give it a try, right? You’ll be much happier if your parents attend our wedding.”

Karin puts away her dishes. “I’ll go back to my room. Come and find me if you finish your dinner. I want to talk to you.”

Since she wants to have a talk, Troy instantly rises to his feet. “Let’s have a talk now.”

Then they go upstairs together and sit in the sofa face to face. After deliberating for a while, Karin says, “Can we delay the wedding?”

“Again? Why?” Troy arches his brow with confusion.

“I…I don’t think I’m ready for it.” To be exact, she’s not in the mood.

“You’re lying. You came to Zurich at all costs to find me in that you love me and want to stay with me. And that’s why you’re ready for a wedding.”

“I’ve told you in the morning that it seems I’ve got some marriage phobia. I want to take a trip on my own to get relaxed before the wedding.”

“We’ll have a honeymoon trip after the wedding. Plus, I’ll be worried about you if you go on a trip alone.”

Karin knows it’s hard to make him change his mind, but she has made up her mind to follow her heart.

“Sorry, Troy. But I really feel awful when I imagine that I’ll stay here forever with you. I’m under huge pressure now. Please. I really need some personal time and space for a while.”

Watching the anticipation in her eyes, he sighs, “Fine. The wedding can be delayed, though, you must travel with me.”

“No. I want to do it alone.”

“But…”

“I know you’ll worry about me, but I wasn’t born yesterday, okay? Lily is a tough girl who can take a trip on her own, and I want to be a tough girl like her.”

“Are you sure you want to do this?”

“Of course.”

She nods firmly.

“…Fine.”

Troy fails to reject her decision as he finds anticipation in her bright eyes.

“How long?’

“It depends. As soon as I’m feeling good, I’ll come back.”

“Then there’s no trip for you.”

Troy frowns. “What if it takes forever?”

“Impossible…”

“I won’t let you go unless you give me a certain time.”

After deliberation, she shows three fingers to him.”

“Three days?”

“…Three months.”

He shakes his head, desperate for kill her.

“Fine. One month.”

Troy holds her hands. “Deal! You’ll be my beautiful bride in a month.”

Tears well up in Karin’s eyes. “I will.”

“You know the consequences if you dare to call me to prolong your trip.”

“Actually, maybe I’ll come back earlier.”

“That’s my girl!”

Troy smiles and hold her tight in his arms, sighing, “It’s harder to get married than to deliver a baby…”

“Have you delivered a baby before?”

“No, but it’s said delivering a baby is the most difficult thing in the world.”

“It’s for women.”

“No, it’s for men when their women are suffering.”

Touched by his words, Karin smiles and circles her arms around his necks, saying, “Troy, I’m the happiest woman in the world when I’m with you…”

“But why can’t you marry me now?”

“Because I want to sort out the worries on my mind once for all, or they’ll harm our relationship from time to time.”

“You just want to run away from me. Go ahead, and I’ll get a new girlfriend.”

“If so, remember to inform me, so I don’t have to come back…”

“Shit! You are such a tease.”

“You said you’d get a new one.”

“I was kidding, okay? You don’t know how much I’m in love with you.”

She just wants to piss him off, enjoying his expression of jealousy. All his expressions are her favorite.

“Sorry, Troy. I couldn’t understand you until now.”

“What?”

She lowers her head. “Don’t you get it?”

“Your parent’s opinion about me?”

“Yep…”

“That’s why we should meet them.”

“Not now. After I come back from the trip.”

“Who’d have thought as perfect as a rich man like me would fear my future father-in-law?”

“I believe…”

Karin gives him a half smile. “Take it easy. You will definitely get along well with my father since you’re so awesome.”

“Hurry up and take me to meet him!”

“But you’re filthy rich, not to mention your home is in Zurich.”

Troy gets shocked and widens his eyes? “Is it wrong to be filthy rich?”

“No, but you’re rich enough to have a bad reputation, in my dad’s opinion.”

“You know I’m different.”

“But my dad has a stereotype of rich people like you.”

Troy rolled his eyes. “No offense, but I have to say.”

“What?”

“Obviously, your father is poor in choosing his future son -in-law. Why does he want you marry a mammonist?”

“You mean Barry?”

“Bingo!”

“Unlike you, Barry is good at brown-nosing the elders. My dad is just fooled by him, okay?”
