"Do you think I'm warm to you right now?"
She couldn't help but ask him sarcastically.
"At least you are not as cold as before."
Karin sneers and picks up his shirt on the bed and throws it to him, "Put it on."
She just wants to leave, her slim waist is tightly held by him, she is circled into his arms, Troy
deliberately rubs his naked chest against her, and asks ambiguously, "Are you really going to leave
now?"
"What do you want?"
Karin is shocked. Does he want her now? Thinking of her daughter who is watching TV in the living
room, she pushes him away in shock and panic, "Don't do that, Esme will come in at any moment!"
"The door is locked by me."
Karin's sanity comes back for a few minutes. She holds his hand and looks to him, protesting in a weak
voice, "No."
Troy holds her head with one hand, slightly gets up, and lifts her head, gazing at a pair of eyes that are
filled with shyness, begging and desire. He calls her name in a very low but sexy voice, "Karin honey...
"
His forehead has been wet with sweats, and a few strands of black hair in front of his forehead has also
been wet, a large drop of sweat is hanging at the end of his hair, with unresistable temptation, Karin
almost falls into his seduction because of his low sexy voice, but the remaining sanity in her mind pulls
her back soon.
"No!"
She uses all her strength to push him away, then runs hurriedly into the bathroom inside the bedroom,
and quickly tidies up her messy hair and clothes, and only slowly walks out when she feels that he
calms down now.
"I am leaving."
She says with a low voice, then opens the bedroom door and walks over to the living room, "Esme
when are you coming home?"
"Is mom leaving?"
"Yes."
"But I... "
"Let Uncle Troy send you home after watching it."
Karin powerlessly skims at her daughter, subconsciously she is no longer so opposed to her daughter
getting close to Troy. The first thing she does is to take a shower when she gets home, but after her
shower, Esme is not back yet, and she is too embarrassed to go up stair and ask her back again, so
she waits patiently.
She waits for her until 11 o'clock in the night, but only gets a call from Troy.
"Hello?"
"She's already asleep."
Karin's heart rate beats faster, "Why do you let her sleep in your home again?"
"She fell into sleep while watching TV, so I didn't send her back, besides, with her around, I feel more
safe and comfortable, just like... you are by my side."
She doesn’t say anything and he adds, "I'm so happy today, the first decent dinner I have in five years,
before tonight I always find food tasteless, Karin, thank you... "
"You're welcome."
"Are you going to sleep yet?"
"Not yet."
"Can you come to the window?"
She is stunned, but doesn’t ask why, and walks straight toward the window side, "I am here now."
"Do you see it? There is a very bright star in the west, that star is called the Guardian Star, it represents
me, I will guard you and Esme in the future, whether you accept it or not."
Karin 's eyes look at the distant west, there is indeed a bright star there, shining brighter than all other
stars, she has been studying the stars for years, she actually never knows the existence of that star.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it that you acquiesce in my guardianship oh?"
"I... "
"Okay, I know your answer, good night."
Troy doesn’t wait for her to finish her words, he hangs up the phone first, Karin looks at the phone and
smiles bitterly, "He is really a smug man."
Although the words she said are not good for Troy, but her heart slowly melts because of him.
Maybe it's time to cherish this unattainable reunion, many years later, she can still tell their children
how they finally seize their love despite all the difficulties.
After this night, she begins to waver, leaving aside the indelible love for Troy, Esme also needs a
complete home.
But how could she expects that when her heart begins to be soft to him, Troy disappears again, just as
he appears at the very beginning, without any warning.
At first she doesn’t know that he is gone, but only when she doesn’t get any harassing phone calls from
him at night, and he doesn’t yell at her to help him put on medicine. At that time, she thinks that the last
time she said she would not help him anymore, which makes him take it seriously, so he doesn’t call
again, and she naturally doesn’t pay much attention about it.
The only thing is that Esme can not stand it, and in the last two days, she runs to the ninth floor to ring
the doorbell, but it doesn't answer, she is so unhappy, and when coming home, she asks her mother
with a sad face, "Has uncle Troy moved away? Why is there no one at home?"
Only then does Karin realize that Troy has left them again.
She just couldn't understand why he left without saying goodbye? That night he also swore on the
phone, "I will guard you and Esme in the future, whether you accept me or not... "
The actual fact is, it is all his lip service?
At night, after coaxing her daughter to sleep, Karin walks to the window, the Guardian Star is still there,
his promise is still in her mind, but the man who makes the promise is gone. The first time Karin wants
to call him and ask him why he left them without a word, she picks up the phone, but she resists to call
him in the end.
Is this exactly what they agreed to do before? She is not dating another man, and he will return to
where he should return, just a short time ago, she also asked him when to go back, he also clearly said
when his wound was healed, he would come back. Now everything is happening as they plan, but why
she feels so lost...
"You've always so bad to me, Troy."
Looking at the bright star in the sky, her eyes are blurred, thinking he breaks into her and Esme's life
and disappears suddenly without any reason when her heart begins to waver, in that case, why did he
say those words that touched her heart? If this is the case, then why did he bring a short time of
happiness to Esme?
She doesn’t want to admit the disappointment in her heart, but she can't hide the sadness in her heart
either.
The next day, when she sends Esme to the kindergarten, and sees her daughter's sullen expression,
she finally couldn't help but call Robert.
With a little expectation, she hopes that Robert can give her a reason that she can accept.
After dialing the phone three times and then the hone is answered, Robert’s voice comes from the
other side, "Hello?"
"Are you still in Edinburgh?"
"Oh Miss Karin, I'm not in Edinburgh anymore, I've gone back to Zurich."
Karin is silent for a moment, "Did he go back too?"
"Mr. Troy? Yes, he also comes back, there is an emergency. He could not say goodbye to you guys and
left, he asked me to call you guys when I left, I was too busy to call you, I am so sorry, it was very
urgent... "
"It's okay, I'm sorry to bother you, say hello to Billie for me."
Karin hangs up the phone, she doesn't ask why it is so urgent, not to mention being angry at Robert
that he didn’t notify her in time, for her, she has been used to being forgotten...
Walking on the street that is full of yellow leaves, her steps on the withered leaves, she smiles bitterly,
"It is a good thing that he is gone, he is supposed to not appear again."
Just take it as a gorgeous and beautiful dream that she and Esme have had.
In the evening when she returns home, she doesn't mention to her daughter that Troy had returned to
Zurich, and after dinner, Esme surprisingly doesn't even watch her favorite TV series, and says to her
mother, "Mom I'm sleepy, I want to go to bed."
"Okay."
She takes her daughter into her room and tells her the story of the shrewish dog. Suddenly, Esme
asks, "Doesn't Uncle Troy like me anymore?"
Karin is stunned and shakes her head, "No, Uncle Troy is only coming here for work, and now that his
work is done, he naturally wants to go back to his own home."
"But Uncle Troy promises me that he will always stay by my side and watch over me like my
dad."
