Chapter 201 The Truth Always Hurts 2
Looking at each other, both of them see the despondency and sadness in the each others’ eyes.
"Do you know why I ask you out?" Billie asks.
Karin shakes her head.
"It's possible that this is the last time we'll sit and eat together."
"Why?"
"I quit my job and have booked a flight for tomorrow morning."
Karin knits her brows in surprise, "Why so suddenly, doesn't you say you would wait until you attend my wedding?"
Billie doesn't mean to discourage her, but she couldn't help but say, "Can your wedding be held at this moment?"
She is stunned and smiles to herself bitterly, "That's true, it's quite ridiculous that I'm still thinking about the wedding when it's already like this."
"Karin, don't be discouraged, even if all the people don't understand you, I will understand, who doesn't make mistakes, you can't condemn someone to death just because they make one mistake, if Troy doesn't forgive you, then you don't have to insist on it, the most basic thing in love is to trust each other, if he doesn't forgive you, it means he doesn't love you enough."
Karin sighs softly and stares at the boiled water in front of her and says, "I also have times when I don't trust him, it's not about the depth of love, it can only mean that we all demand too much perfection from love."
One always learns to grow while being hurt, and it is in the process of growing that one understands many truths that one would not otherwise understand.
"I went to see Troy this afternoon, and he's no better than you are now."
Karin's eyelashes trembles lightly and she says calmly, "There is no need to talk to him, he has his own way of doing things, I believe he will make a sensible judgment and the right decision."
Billie sighs, "I hope that's the case... "
In the evening, when she returns to Ziteng Garden, she stands in front of the window and thinks for a long time before she finally calls Robert.
"Hello, Miss Karin?"
"Billie is coming back home, do you know that?"
There is a short silence and a deep, raspy voice come from the other end, "I don't know."
"The flight is at eight tomorrow morning. Think about it tonight, if you don't want to lose her, then you should know exactly what to do."
There is another moment of silence, Robert slowly says, "Thank you... "
After hanging up the phone, Karin looks out of the window, looking at the brightest star and says to herself, "Although I am troubled enough with my own affairs, I still hope that they will have a good outcome. Though I can not get happiness, then watching others be happy is also a happy thing."
Robert stays up all night and thinks deep about his relationship with Billie. Before dawn, he realizes what he wants. He doesn't even have time to eat breakfast and drives to Billie's flat and stands outside her door, waiting.
At seven o'clock, Billie comes out with her suitcase, and when she sees the man standing outside the door, she is so stunned that she is unable to speak for quite a while.
"Where are you going?"
Robert asks purposefully.
"And why are you here?"
"To wait for you."
Billie freezes and keeps saying in her mind, never expect anything, this man won't retain you. "Is there something wrong?"
"Don't go."
Robert looks into her eyes and says in a serious manner, "Please don't go."
Billie's eyes widen in shock, she is a little confused between reality and dream, Robert is retaining her? Has she misheard?
"Give me a reason?"
"Someone needs you."
"Who needs me?"
He is too proud to say it, and seeing him stammering like that, the hope that has been tinted in her mind is dashed again. She grips the lever of her suitcase, and walks away without looking back.
"I need you!"
Robert finally musters up the courage to say what is in his heart, Billie stops, turning her back to him, coldly says, "I am not a toy, not something you can play with when you need it, and throw it aside when you don't want it."
She continues to walk forward, Robert catches up with her and hugs her, "I have never treated you as a toy, I have always loved you, but I have to worry about a lot of things that others don’t know. Although Gigi has left the country, she will come back sooner or later, according to her character, she must not be able to swallow this anger, I am afraid that when the time comes, you will be hurt by her, that's why I have not dared to tell you and confess the love in my heart to you... "
"And what is it now? Aren't you afraid that I'll get hurt?"
"Of course I'm afraid, it's just that last night I thought about it all night and realized that I can't lose you, so even if I will risk my life, I have to keep you by my side to protect you."
Tears comes out of Billie's eyes, after waiting for so long, finally, when she is desperate, the goddess of fate releases her love and give it back to her.
"Do you mean it? You won't be regretted again, right?"
Robert nods heavily and leans down to kiss her lips. Under the sunlight, the lingering kiss continues their almost misplaced destiny; fate is so magical that it can destroy a relationship or create one.
Karin doesn't know why she has suddenly come to Mia’s residence, she should not have wanted to see that woman.
Standing outside the door of Mia’s residence, she hesitates for a moment, but finally rings the doorbell. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Last time William has says that if she saw Mia in her current state, she would believe that the hotel incident had nothing to do with her. At that time, she could not agree, but only it is when she enters
Mia’s residence and sees Mia with her own eyes at this moment that she is willing to believe what William said is the truth.
"Why are you here?"
Mia is sitting in a wheelchair, her face shapes like a wither, her eye sockets deep, her hair messily ties together, her whole appearance is like that of a woman, or a ghost. Where is the beauty, the proud and grandeur beauty that she was at the beginning.
"I have something to ask you."
"What is it?"
"Did you set up the frame-up of William and me?"
Mia smiles sarcastically, "What do you think? Do you think it has anything to do with me?"
"I just don't know that's why I'm asking you, you just have to say yes or no."
"Do you believe whatever I say?"
Karin nods.
"No."
"Good."
She turns around, ready to leave, in fact, the moment she sees Mia, she already knows the answer, if she had really set it up, she wouldn't look like this now, at least not with that desperate look in her eyes.
"Wait a minute."
Mia calls out to her, sliding her wheelchair in front of her, "Why do you have to steal all my men? Whether it's the one I love or the one I don't love, you have to grab them all? Can you tell me?"
Karin slowly turns around and tells her very calmly, "I never want to steal anything that belongs to you, it's just that fate has arranged it, and I'm helpless too."
"You talks as if you are innocent, are you trying to tell me that you are born to be a woman with a better fate than me?"
"If you think so I can't help it, what makes you today is all because of you, you can't blame anyone."
After Karin finishes speaking, she walks straight out of the living room, and behind her Mia is shouting, "Do you know why I am lingering to live? I just want to see how happy you are, without me Mia, you and Troy don't want to get together so easily, I have a feeling that you are finished this time, hahahaha... "
Desperately covering her ears, desperately telling herself in her heart not to care about the words of a madwoman, she believes that she and Troy will be together again.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the president's office of Charlie Group, Troy gazes at the city below, his hands is resting in the pockets of his suit trousers, his face is as cold as Death of the hell.
Robert pushes the door in, and stands behind him, asking "Mr. Troy, what do you want from me?"
"Go and get me William, then check what happened that night."
"I've already done the investigation."
He turns around and thinks suspiciously for a moment, "So, you knows about the truth a long time ago?"
Robert swallows and nods gently.
"Since when do you forget the Gray family motto?"
"I just doesn't want to see you and Miss Karin misunderstand each other just because someone else set them up, I originally wants to find out the truth before you knows about it, who knows that Miss Karin took the initiative to confess to you... "
Troy lowers his eyelids, "What is the result of the investigation?"
"I went to that hotel and watched the video of that night, it was a man who carried them both into the room and then stayed for about twenty minutes before coming out, this period must have been used for taking pictures."
"Who is the man?"
"I couldn't make out his face, he wore a mask and glasses, but still I found a very important clue, the man had a bit of a limp so that we could narrow down what we could find out a lot."
