Capture Your Heart Chapter 246 The Father-Daughter-Reunion 3

"I went and brainwashed your grandparents, asking them to be nicer to your mom in the future."

"Is that so? Will they take what you said seriously?"

"How do I know if I don't try it?"

"Then if Grandparents want to beat my mom, you will protect her, right?"

"Yes, I will."

With this assurance from him, she is relieved as she says, "Okay then."

After dinner, Troy has to go take care of some business related to starting a new company. And as
soon as he leaves, Karin calls her daughter into the room.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Esme blinks her big bright eyes and looks at her mother innocently.

Karin squats down and takes her daughter into her arms. For a long time, she doesn’t say anything.
Then she makes up her mind that it is time that she should tell Esme everything.

"Esme, do you want to know who your father is?"

Esme suddenly opens her eyes wide and says, "If I say yes, Mom, will you be sad?"

Karin, who is heartbroken, shakes her head, “I won’t."

Karin thinks that she probably will be somewhat sad. However, at the very least, she won't be as sad
as she used to be.

Esme nods timidly, "Then... Yes."



"Good, then I'll tell you."

She takes a deep breath and says, "Your father is the one that you call Uncle-Bad-Guy."

Originally, she thought that Esme would jump up with excitement. However, to her surprise, Esme
doesn’t. Instead, she, who is dumbfounded for a moment, doesn’t even question whether her mother is
deliberately saying so to make her happy.

"Don't you believe it?" Karin is choked as she says, "Mom didn't lie to you. He is your biological father."

"I believe it. Mommy, I believe everything you say."

"Then are you… happy?"

Karin asks Esme cautiously, knowing in her heart that the child, who suddenly knows about such a
thing, surely won’t accept it.

Esme nods with a blank look in her eyes, "Yeah. I am very happy."

She immediately jumps into her mother's arms, "Mom, I'm really happy…”

Although she says so verbally, tears have flowed out. And she is crying more and more miserably.
Karin originally thought Esme wouldn’t be so sad. However, seeing her daughter crying so sadly found
that she is quite sad.

They hug together and cry loudly. Karin thinks that in the future, she no longer needs to cry behind
Esme’'s back. And she doesn’t regret telling the truth.

She had been having difficulties falling asleep all night. It is not because she has to face her parents
again. Instead, it is because she is going to tell Esme who her father is. However, the child doesn’t ask
her any questions, which indeed startles her.



The next morning, Troy has been waiting for them outside the residential quarter early. Holding Esme's
hand, Karin steps out of the entrance. Seeing them from afar, Troy smiles and waves at them.

Esme’s hand trembles, which Karin notices sensitively. However, she doesn’t say anything, as she
slowly walks towards him.

Troy squats down in front of Esme, stares at her red and swollen eyes, and asks in surprise, "Well,
what happened to your eyes?"

He doesn't know that Esme already knew that he was her father.

Staring at the man in front of her in a daze, Esme bites her lower lip and remains silent. However, her
eyes gradually turn red.

"What's wrong with her?"

Troy turns back to ask Karin in puzzlement. Before Karin can say anything, Troy unexpectedly hears
Esme’s trembling shout, "Daddy..."

Suddenly, he is stunned, thinking it is an illusion of his. Feeling shocked, he turns back and grabs
Esme's arm, "What did you just say?"

"Daddy..."

Esme repeatedly shouts and bursts out crying.

Troy is so stunned that he falls to the ground. Even Karin is stunned. She doesn’t expect that Esme
would suddenly change the way she addresses Troy and call him Daddy.

Troy feels that his brain briefly goes blank. And finally, he quickly sobers up, reaches out, and hugs
Esme into his arms with force, intending to say something. However, he finds that he can’t say anything



and that his throat is in great pain. Then a clear teardrop slowly slips down his nose.

"Although I wanted to ask you why you abandoned my mother and me back then, I decide not to ask
you "

He asks in a hoarse voice, "Why?"

"Daddy, I'm afraid to infuriate you. And if you abandon us again, what to do?"

Karin, who is heartbroken, turns her head. And tears swish out of her eyes. It turns out that Esme is
longing for her father's love in her heart, which she never realizes.

"No, Daddy will never abandon you guys again. I'm sorry, Esme, I'm sorry..."

Troy feels that his heart is aching. Although he always has been longing to reconcile with his daughter.
However, when the moment indeed comes, he realizes that he isn’t prepared at all.

"Well, we almost can’t make it. Let's go."

Karin urges in a low voice. And the three of them get into the car and rush in the direction of the airport.

When they get on the plane, Esme soon lay asleep in Troy's arms. And he takes off his jacket and
covers the child's body with it. Then he looks askance at the woman beside him and asks in a soft
voice, "Why did you tell her?"

"There is no way not to tell her. After we arrive in London, she will know it anyway."

He nods, "Yeah, I didn't even think about that."

"So what have you been thinking about?"



"I've been thinking about how to get your parents' understanding. It doesn't matter if they don't accept
me. As long as they accept you and Esme, I am fine with it."

Karin lowers her eyelids gloomily. Thinking of her parents' attitude last time, she knows that what Troy
wants will never be an easy task.

"Karin, thank you."

"Why?"

"You were willing to let Esme reconcile with me. I can't be more grateful to you in this life. I'm not a
good man, let alone being a good father. As you said, I'm not qualified to be her father..."

"Let's not mention the past again."

Her eyelashes tremble lightly. All along, she feels that she is making things difficult for Troy. However, it
is not until after he leaves without saying goodbye that she realizes that in fact, she has been putting
herself in a difficult position. Because after he is gone, she doesn’t enjoy her life at all.

By the time they get off the plane, a car has been waiting for them outside the airport. Karin recognizes
the car, knowing that it was bought by Troy when he first came to London.

This time, they don’t have to go to Battersea Park to kill time. Instead, they directly drive to the home.

The car stops two hundred meters away from the house. Karin is too hesitant to get out of the car.
Sensing her nervousness, Troy says soothingly, "Don't be afraid. I'm here. Just leave everything to
me."

With his assurance, she seemed to have been rest assured. Then she takes a deep breath, pushes
open the car door, and gets off the car.



Holding Esme’s hands, the two of them walk step by step towards the front and arrive at the door in the
end. And the one that notices them first is Karin’s father, Mike.

When he sees his daughter, he is stunned briefly. And the next second, he roars in anger, "Why did you
bring a man to fool us again? Do you still think we haven't been humiliated enough by you?

Hearing Mike’s words from the inner room, Jane runs out. As soon as she sees the three people
standing outside the door, her eyes are blurred. And she turns around, intending to go back to the
house. Karin chokes and shouts, "Mom..."

Hearing Karin’s incomparably bitter shouting, Jane pauses and doesn’t turn back, coldly saying, "I do
not want to see you, so do not come in."

It is around three o'clock in the afternoon. And there aren’t any clients in the store, which more or less
alleviates Karin's embarrassment. She glances at Troy as she is at a loss as to what to do. Troy looks
back at her and steps into the door decisively first.

“Bang!” A pot of flour splashed on his body, making him a man covered with flour. Esme, who is startled
by such an abrupt scene, screams. Karin, who is shocked, rushes forward, questioning angrily, "Dad,
what are you doing?

"Last time, you brought a man back to cheat us. Barry went home and told his mother about this. Then
we were ridiculed by the neighbors so badly that we dared not go out. And now you dare to come back
with another man. What do you want? Could it be that you're not going to stop it until we're all tortured
to death by you?"

"No, he's Troy Charlie, Esme's father. I'm not lying to you this time!"

Mike shouts, "Do you think I will believe you again?"



After calming himself down for a short period, Troy reaches out to wipe away the flour on his face and
says, "Dad, I am indeed Troy Charlie. This time, I am the one who offered to bring them back to
apologize to you for their sins. However hard Karin used to disappoint and sadden you in the past, it’s
all my fault. Please stop blaming her. Since I am here today, I am prepared for being treated by you
roughly. However you are going to treat me, I will never take it to my heart."

Hearing Troy say so, Jane can’t help but look at him a few more times. And she quickly remembers
something, "Yes, he is Troy Charlie. One night a few years ago, he sent Karin back home and I saw
him!"

“Bang…” Mike slaps Troy as soon as he hears Jane’s words. Knowing that the man in front of him is
the heartless man who fails his daughter, he, who is Karin’s father, is so angry that he completely loses
his mind.

"Dad!!!"

Karin is even more shocked. In just a few minutes, Troy is humiliated in a way he had never been
humiliated in his life, which causes her heart to ache to the extreme. She pulls his arm directly, "Let's
go. Let’s not say anything."

Troy slowly draws back his hand and smiles blandly, "It's okay. If it can make Dad feel better in his
heart, then I don't mind taking a few more slappings."
