Chapter 110 Irrepressible Possessiveness 4
Karin suddenly freezes. This is a pressure for Troy?
Perhaps realizing that his words are a bit heavy, Troy softens his tone to exin, "I am a merchant. I
have countless business to deal with. I have a lot of work to do. And I also have revenge to take.
Therefore, I cannot fully control my time. Time is very precious for me. Can you understand that?"
"I thought I am the most precious one. But I am wrong. I am nothingpared with your business, job
and revenge."
"No."
Troy’s voice sounds a little hoarse, "I love you most. But a man has to realize his value through other
means. My father passed on thepany to me, hoping that I could run it well. I am not an ordinary
man. You know this since you decided to stay with me."
"Fine. I know. I won’t do that again."
Karin hangs up. She jumps off the swing and goes to the house directly.
She never wants to be a burden to him.
The night is as long as ever, but Troy does note back even though it is the midnight.
Karin goes to the school the next day. She is in a much worse statepared to yesterday.
"Didn’t you go to trip?" Billie asks surprisingly.
"Do not ever mention that."
"What’s wrong?"
"Troy has something to deal with, so he could not go with me."
"What’s the matter?"
"Hard to say."
"Are you disappointed?"
"No. I feel at lost.
"Why?"
"Hard to say."
Billie snorts in displeasure, "What''s so hard to exin? You can go yourself if you want."
"That would be of no interest…"
"You are so in love with him? Don’t rely too much on man. The more you depend on him, the more he
will think you are unimportant."
Karin’s heart thuds. Is that so? She is so dependent on Troy that he starts to get stressed?
"Then let’s go on a trip."
"Ok. I feel annoyed as well."
"Where should we go?"
Billie thinks for a while and says, "Somewhere close. I do not have enough money to afford a long
journey."
"Ok. When?"
"Right now, of course."
"Right now? Will it be too hasty?"
"Nope. My horoscope says that I will have good luck if I go out today."
Finally, they decide that they will go to Basel. It is said that the art museums there are very famous, so
they want to have a look.
Karin goes back to Ziteng Garden to take her baggage. Yuma asks in surprise, "Karin, where are you
going?"
"Travelling."
"Alone?"
"No. With my ssmates."
"Does he know?"
"No. He does not need to."
Yuma looks at Karin nkly, thinking maybe they just have a quarrel.
"I will go. Please water those sunflowers in the garden."
"Ok. I will."
Karin goes down the hill. Billie is already there waiting for her. But to her surprise, William alsoes.
"Are you surprised?"
William asks, smiling.
"Yes, kind of. So, you are going to take us to the station?"
Billie shakes her head and says, "No, he is going with us."
"What? With us…?"
"Any problem?" William raises his eyebrows.
"No, but don’t you work?"
"I am on a vacation."
Billie interrupts, "Yep. He has more than ten days of vacation a year."
"Get in the car."
William opens the door and let Billie and Karin get in the car. Then he puts their baggage on the boot.
"Hey, what happened? Why William also joins us?"
Karin asks Billie with much doubt.
"Actually, he is invited by me." Billie smiles trickily.
"Why? You fall in love with him?"
"Screw you. My love for Robert is unchangeable."
"Then why do you invite him?"
"He can provide money and help us…" Billie lowers her voice.
"…"
Karin is speechless totally.
N?velDrama.Org is the owner.
Troy arrives at the urban district at 9 am. He spends the whole night looking for Mia. She sprains her
ankle and falls into a big puddle.
After he sends her home, Troy goes directly to Ziteng Garden. The moment he arrives, he shouts,
"Karin…"
Yumaes out when hearing Troy’s sound, "You are back."
"Where is Karin?"
"She has gone on a trip."
"Trip?"
Troy is surprised, "Just herself?"
"With her ssmates."
"When did she leave?"
"Just now. Half an hour before."
Troy takes out his phone and calls her immediately. The phone is received after quite a long time.
"What’ the matter?"
"Yuma told me that you go to trip?"
"Yep."
"Where?"
"Anyway, not Provence."
"Then, where?"
"Basel."
"With Billie?"
"Yes."
Troy looks at the watch on his wrist, saying, "Don''t go. Nowe back and I''ll take you to Provence."
"No need."
Karin rejects without hesitation, "I am already on the ne."
Troy remains silent for a while and then he asks, "When will youe back?"
"It depends."
"Ok, we will go to Provence when youe back."
"No, it’s okay. You can go by yourself if you like." Karin tries to keep calm, "Don’t wait for me. I will be
under pressure."
"You…"
Karin is driving Troy crazy.
"What?"
"Why do you imitate my speech?"
"No, I just give you a dose of your own medicine."
Karin leaves for three days without leaving any information. She switches off her phone deliberately,
not allowing Troy to contact her.
It is getting dark when shees back the fourth day. William first drives Billie to the school and then
sends Karin home.
"It is really a nice trip." William says.
"Yes. The more the merrier."
"Billie is so funny. Whoever marries her will lose his teeth when he is old."
"Why?"
"Because she can make everybodyugh his teeth off."
"Interesting."
Karin smiles, "Yes, she is funny and humorous."
Being watched by William, Karin feels a little bit embarrassed. She asks, "Is there something on my
face?"
"No. I just think you look very beautiful when you smile. You have two dimples."
Karin snaps, "Don’t be envious. You have dimples too."
"Male’s dimples are different from that of female. Do you how do theme into being?"
"No."
"It is said that after death, after crossing the gate of hell, one goes to theher world, where there are
flowers in full blossom, but with no leaves. The flowers and leaves can never meet each other, just like
the lovers who are separated by death. There is a river called Lethe and over the river, there is a
bridge. A woman stays there, and she gives every passer-by a bowl of soup. Whoever drinks it will
forget all attachments in life and enters reincarnation without worry. He would either be an
immortal, a human being, or an animal. The soup is also known as the water of forgetfulness, which
makes you forget all your past and present lives once you drink it. A lifetime of love and hatred, a
lifetime of gains and losses, all these are all forgotten with just a bowl of soup. Those who you love,
and those who you hate will be a matter of the past. However, there are some people who do not
want to drink the soup for various reasons. The woman has no choice but to answer their requests, but
she ces a mark on these people. And the mark is the dimple on the face. Those who refuse to drink
the soup have to jump into the Lethe and to be tortured for thousands of years before they can be
reincarnated. After their reincarnation, they will look for their former lovers with their past memories.
Karin sniffs after William finishes his words, "Is there such a story? I never heard of it."
"This is not a story. It’s a legend."
"Those legends are always deceptions."
"It is better to believe it to be true."
"If It is true, then both of us are tortured for thousands of years before?"
"Yes."
Karin smiles, "Then, that’s weird. Why can I remember my past?"
"I do remember."
William’s expression suddenly bes serious. He looks at Karin fervently.
Karin is surprised. She turns around and says, "Look at the sky. It’s so clean. No star there. It seems
that it’s going to rain tomorrow."
"Don’t worry about that. You have a chauffeur anyway."
William sound careless, his expression back to normal.
Karin is relieved. Everything is just her illusion.
