Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 151

"Well, I want to ask you another favor."

"Take you away again?"

"No, we have been found once, so it wouldn't be easy to leave again. I… want to date you."

"Date me?" William is a bit surprised.

"I mean pretending to, not for real."

Karin is actually embarrassed to say it. It's quite too much to ask after all.

"Using me to irritate Troy, am I right?"

"You can totally say no. You have the right to do it."

William thinks for a while and nods, "Alright, I'll do it."

She doesn't expect him to agree so readily and she feels even more embarrassed.

"Thank you."

"Don't mention it. I told you I would always do anything for you anytime you need."

"Why are you being so kind to me?"

"Because we are friends."

"Are you so kind to all your friends?"

"Basically."

Since he said it, she is relieved and feels less guilty.

"Stay for dinner tonight. I'll cook."

"You can cook?"

William smiles, "Don't underestimate me. I am not only good at work, but also at cooking. I'm a peerless man."

"Alright."

Karin nods, "If you insist."

They go grocery shopping together. After they come back, she tries to help, but he waves his hand, "It's okay, just wait for the food."

She pauses for a while and turns around to walk out of the kitchen.

How familiar it sounds. It seems that she has said the same thing to Troy, "Just wait for the food."

She walks around out of boredom and goes back to the kitchen. She stands beside the door and watches William chopping. His chopping skill is dizzying, cutting sharply and neatly.

"A man who cooks is so attractive."

She leans against the door and praises him heartily.

"Just praise me. Don't ever fall in love with me."

"…"

A fancy dinner is quickly served under his superb cooking skills. The steamed fish is exuding savory scents. She is about to pick some with chopsticks, but he stops her with his chopsticks.

"What?"

"Let me help you."

William moves his chopsticks to the head of the fish. He slowly picks out its eyes and put them into her bowl.

"How should I eat it?"

"With your mouth."

"I mean, why do you give me the eyes?"

"Don't belittle these eyes. They are only served to your favorite one."

She opens her mouth in surprise, "Favorite… You're not saying that you love me, are you?"

"Can't I?"

"Of course you can't. You just told me not to fall in love with you."

"I told you not to fall in love with me, but I didn't say I couldn't fall in love with you."

Karin gasps and says seriously, "William, don't joke about it. It's not funny, really."

"Failed."

He throws a glance at her, "It was only a joke. Look how scared you are. How could you ask me to pretend to be your boyfriend? Luckily Troy isn't here, if he were, I could only give you a ten out of 100 for your reaction."

"…"

After dinner, William drives her back to Ziteng Garden. When she gets out of the car, she is amazed to see Troy's car parking outside the gate. She immediately blooms a pleasant smile on her face, walks to William and deliberately talks with him for a long while.

"It's getting late. I should go."

"Okay, drive safe."

She waves her hand and sees him off until his car disappears. A sullen voice comes from behind, "You really took my words off your ears, didn't you?"

After they are seated, they greet for a while and Emmanuel gets straight to the point, "I heard that you bear grudges against one of my employees recently?"

He is stunned and then chuckles slightly, "Are you talking about William, uncle?"

"It's exactly him, I heard from another shareholder that Robert went to Triumph Group this morning, and claimed to expel William at any cost?"

"Yes."

"I'm very curious, how can you and William bear grudges against each other? He hasn't offended you in any way, has he?"

"He messes with my woman, does it count?"

Emmanuel is taken aback, "You mean, William and Miss Karin…"

"Basically what you think."

"Haha, I'm afraid it must be a mistake. How could Miss Karin fall love with someone else? She must have been angry because of the thing between you and Mia. Don't you ever make your uncle lose a talent just because a woman is acting up with you."

"It seems that William is quite capable that even my uncle would stand up for him. It really makes me to look at him with admiration."

"So, my nephew is buying what his uncle said?"

"Uncle, you seldom ask anything from me. Without a doubt I should not reject you."

After lunch Troy goes back to the company. As he walks past Robert's office, he hooks his fingers at Robert, "Come."

Robert follows him right away to his office. As soon as the door is closed, he says, "Don't lay a finger on William for now."

"Why?"

"Uncle Emmanuel came to me this noon. He seemed to value that man very much from what he said."

"Did he tell you not to mess with William?"

"Yeah."

"But William is too defiant, how could he take your woman!"

"I can't ignore Uncle Emmanuel's words. Just let him be proud for a few days. Karin is just angry for now; she won't really be with him."

"Alas, not necessarily."

Robert sighs, "Miss Karin doesn't have classes today and William even applies for annual leave to stay with her."

Troy clenches his fist, and spits out two words through gritted teeth, "So what?"

"So I have to worry about you. If he keeps doing things like this, they will have feelings for each other even though they don't now. There is a saying that love grows along time. In my opinion, you'd better call off the marriage with Mia as soon as possible. Before Miss Karin is fully into William, take her back quickly, otherwise, one day when you realize that you can't live without her, her heart might not be yours, and it would be late to get her back..."
