Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 178

In fact, the call Karin received was from Jacob, in which he didn't say anything but he wanted to see her.

She rushes to the appointed restaurant and sees Jacob sitting in the corner.

"What's the matter?"

She walks so quickly to the opposite side of him and sits down. She takes two puffs of hot air and rubs her frozen hands.

"Nothing happened. I just want someone to drink with me."

Jacob has drunk a lot, and his voice is vague. Karin looks at him carefully, noticing his eyes are red. Obviously, he cried before. "What's the matter?" She frowns and asks.

"I'm fine." Jacob shakes his head, "Now the new year is coming, so I miss my mother a little."

"You can go back home to visit her. Are you worried about the money? If you need, I'll give it to you!"

"No, I don't want to go back now. I swore before that I would not go back until I made it in the world..."

Karin glares at him angrily, "You mean that you will never see your mother if you fail?"

"Yes."

She slaps him on the head, "Don't think like that!"

"Karin, don't be angry. I'm such a worthless person. I has owed you two lives. I don't know when I can repay you. If I don't have a chance in this life, in the next life I will..."

"Shut up!"

Karin pats the table with anger, "The new year is coming. How can you say something ominous like that?"

Jacob smiles with a decadent expression, "You're right, and I won't say that any more."

He takes a sip of wine from his glass, sniffs and says, "Could Karin help me with my New Year's wish?"

"It's OK to ask for a red packet. As for the wish, it depends on whether I can help you."

"You must have such ability."

"What is your wish?"

"I mentioned it to you last time in prison. If you have a chance in the future, can you visit my mother?"

Karin's face suddenly cools. She asks in a deep voice, "Jacob, you'd better to be honest. Is there something you're hiding from me?"

"No, you're the only friend that I'm closest to in Zurich. I won't lie to you..."

"Well, but why do you always say something strange?"

"I'm afraid that I'll be worthless all my life, so I want to place my hope on you. Of course, you have the right to refuse. After all, my request is a little tough."

Looking at Jacob's gloomy eyes, Karin feels very uncomfortable. She pats him on the shoulder, "Don't worry. I promise that I will visit your mother for you when I return home, but you need to cheer up. I hope to see you live a good life instead of only abandoning yourself to despair."

Jacob nods heavily, "OK, I promise you I will live a good life in the future!"

Karin smiles happily and then talks with him for a long time. When they leave, she says earnestly, "Whenever you encounter difficulties, you can ask me for help, and I will try my best to help you!"

"Thanks a lot. I will remember what you say."

Back to the mountain, it is already one o'clock in the morning. She has been frozen stiff and creeps into the bedroom. Troy has already fallen asleep. After a hot bath, she still feels cold.

Standing by the bedside, she lifts the quilt to lie in. The warm blanket makes her very comfortable. The man around her is as warm as a stove. She goes into his arms to get more warmth.

"Where did you go?"

He suddenly makes a sound, which scares her and let her stunned for a few seconds. She answers slightly, "It is because Jacob is in a bad mood that I chat with him for a while."

"You run out faster than a rabbit when he calls you. Even I can't call you back. You really pay little attention to my feelings, do you?"

Karin chuckles, "You are jealous with a child, are you?"

"I'm not jealous. I'm discussing about whether you have put me in your heart as well as in your eyes."

"Look. Now could you see you are in my eyes?"

She turns on the light, raises her chin, and stares at the man sleeping beside her.

Troy deliberately ignores her eyes and avoids looking at her, "No."

"What do you say? Would you take a closer look? "

"I see nothing. Even how many times you ask, my answer is the same as before."

Then he turns his back and ignores her.

Karin leans on his back. But he doesn't let her lean on him, so he moves forward.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he moves, she also moves. If the bed was not big enough, they would have fallen to the ground.

"Why do you turn your back on me?"
