Thinking of Troy's words that he doesn't love her anymore, she cries more and more sadly, not
because he no longer loves her, but because fate is too ruthless. Since it doesn't let them be together
before, why does it make them have intersection after five years? When he squeezes her wrist and
stands in front of her as he used to, she knows that her love for him is still so deep.
"Mom, why is that bad uncle downstairs?"
In the darkness, the voice of her daughter's question suddenly comes from behind. She hurriedly wipes
away her tears and turns her head, "Why aren't you asleep??"
"I was already asleep, but I had a dream that you were crying again. So, I ran to see and found you are
really crying."
She goes to pick up her daughter, takes her back to the room, and puts her on the bed, "Mom didn't
cry."
"You lie, you cry every time you see that bad guy!"
"That uncle is not a bad person."
"He's a bad guy, and everyone who makes my mother cry is a bad guy!"
Esme is obviously very excited, "Bad guy, bad guy, bad guy, the worst person in the world!"
"Enough, you are not allowed to say that to him!"
Karin is so anxious that she scolds her daughter loudly.
"Mom…"
Esme's eye circles suddenly redden aggrievedly.
"I am sorry."
Karin is distressed. It's the first time she has scolded her daughter since she was sensible. The child is
a child after all. How can she understand the things between e adults? In their simple world, who
bullies their favorite person are bad guys.
"Mom sings to you..."
A nursery rhyme accompanies Esme's choking sound rings at the night. Finally, Karin puts her to sleep.
Karin covers her daughter with a quilt, and sees the faint tears left in the corners of her eyes. Her heart
is as painful as being bitten by thousands of ants, a crystal-clear tear drips on her daughter's forehead,
and she mutters, "Esme, that uncle is not a bad person, he is the man who mom has loved desperately
all these years..."
Finally, she admits that she loves him. But she just tells herself at dead of night.
Standing in front of the window, staring at the vast starry sky outside, she remembers the days she
used to be with him. In Ziteng Garden surrounded by mountains and rivers full of wisteria flowers, they
depended on each other, spent one lonely night after another and outlined a beautiful future one after
another together. The plan is beautiful, but before it can be realized, they have become the most
familiar stranger.
He no longer needs her in his world, and he can't enter her world anymore.
Memory only exists for something that can be remembered.
After so many years, the only memory she can't forget and has been missing is that in a sunny
afternoon, she leaned in Troy's arms and followed him to write on the smooth white paper with a brush,
" Karin, the love of my life."
After so much, she is no longer his Karin, nor his favorite. The only thing she has is this last memory.
Under the same sky, in the same corner, in front of the window at this time, stands the same lonely
figure.
Troy's deep eyes look down at half of the city of Edinburgh. After five years of consolidating his
calmness, he collapses instantly after meeting the woman. His anger, his anxiety, and his thoughts are
all invisible to her. All she can see is his ruthlessness.
There are some people and some things you can't forget even you want to. The most painful thing is
that the thing that disappears will be gone forever, and will never come back again, but there is still a
thin and pointed needle left in your heart, it can't be removed. If it wants to hurt you, you have to take it,
and you can't erase the permanent scar.
He doesn't want that woman to know how he struggle to survive the past five years, So, he said
ruthlessly that he had no her in his heart, and he would never feel pain for her anymore. Any lie is a
deception that can cheat anyone else. He can't lie to himself. So, at this moment, he asks himself
mockingly, "Troy, are you really not in pain?"
Are you really not in pain? The answer is that he does not have a day without pain.
The acquisition of KB Company comes to a successful conclusion. Next, Molly will introduce her
father's brand to the Britain market. The cooperation between her and Troy is very smooth. In her
words, there is no better partner than him.
On Friday afternoon, after finishing work, Molly teases, "I will be back to Zurich tomorrow. Should you
have a leaving party for me tonight?"
Robert looks up, "Don't ask me, ask your Torie."
So, she turns her gaze to Troy, "Torie, what do you think?"
"OK."
Troy agrees lazily.
"Great, let's go, I have chosen the location."
Robert raises his eyebrows, "It turned out to you have already made the decision. Fortunately, Mr. Troy
agreed, otherwise you can only have this party alone."
Molly smiles triumphantly, "I knew Torie would agree."
"You go first, I want to go back and change clothes."
Troy walks out as he says, and is about to pull the car door to sit in. Molly chases him out, "I'll go with
you. I heard that the place where you live is beautiful, and I want to see it."
Troy drives to Star River Community. Molly follows him into the elevator. Just as the elevator door is
about to close, a figure flashes in.
Karin has decided not to move since that night after Troy's irritation. She wants to live with a clear
conscience as he said. The moment she makes the decision, she knows they will definitely meet as
they live in the same apartment. She just never thinks it will be so embarrassing.
She wants to quit, but it is too late. The elevator slowly rises, and the atmosphere is suddenly
unspeakable.
Troy stands behind her with the woman who holds his arm last time. Karin tells herself desperately,
"Don't care, don't care, this man has nothing to do with you, so whoever he is with is his business..."
With a ding sound, the elevator stops on the sixth floor. She breathes a sigh of relief. As she is just
about to step out, she suddenly hears the woman behind her say, "Torie, what do you want to eat
later?"
Two words that are distant and familiar are once exclusive to her. When another woman says it, she
tells herself not to care, but she still cares.
She walks out the elevator. The first step, look up. The second step, close her eyes. In this way, tears
flow into her heart instead of flowing out.
People who she has liked, finally become the scenery of others. It seems as if the treasure lying in the
bottom of her heart is drowned in blood and disappears. It is too late to be sad and she feels lonely
again.
The elevator stops on the ninth floor. Troy takes the key and opens the door blankly. Molly follows up
casually. She looks around and exclaims, "The house is really good, and I won't stay in a hotel when I
come next time."
"Molly, don't call me Torie again."
Troy's concise words shock Molly. She ponders for a moment, then turns around and says, "Don't call
you Torie in front of that woman, right?"
He does not answer, but his cold eyes flash with a touch of complexity.
"Do you really not know that woman?"
Molly not only has a strong memory, but also has a good instinct. From the moment Karin steps into the
elevator, she feels the strangeness of the man around her. After only looking at it for a few seconds,
she remembers that Karin is the woman she met last time in front of Hutong.
"Is she the Karin that you called that night?"
