Chapter 240 It Is Too Late To Say Goodbye 1

Their eyes meet each other, inexplicable feelings spread, Karin's heart is softened a little, she freezes
and stares at the man in front of her, her finger is still in his mouth, he is sucking it so tenderly, this
moment is like a dream, it is too beautiful to be true.

"Mom, are you finishing the cooking, I'm hungry... "

Esme jumps into the kitchen, suddenly sees the ambiguous scene, she hurriedly turns back, covering
her eyes and shouts, "I don’t see anything... "

Karin blushes, and awkwardly draws back her fingers. She lowers her head and goes to the living room
to find a band-aid from the medicine cabinet, and then hastily wraps her finger and goes into the
kitchen to continue cooking.

She prepares a sumptuous dinner, smelling the familiar smell, Troy feels a lot.

The three of them sit around the table, he holds the chopsticks and doesn’t know where to start first,
Esme gives two fish eyes to him, saying, "My mother says fish eyes are for the most loved one to eat."

The two adults are shocked, Karin would not forget the memory of Troy giving her fish eyes, Troy also
would not forget. He smiles bitterly and puts the fish eyes into Karin's bowl, saying, "I don't like to eat
this, let's give it to your mother."

"Why don’t you give it to me?" Esme pouts.

"It's not good for children to eat this, if you want to eat it, eat the fish brain, then you will become
smart."

As Troy says, he tries to give the fish brain to her, she waves her hand, "Oh, forget it, I don't want to eat
that, it's like snot, it's disgusting... "



They enjoy the meal happily. And after finishing the dinner, Esme is sitting on the sofa watching the TV
drama "Home Temptations", Karin is tiding up the table and is about to do the dishes. When she is abut
to put on an apron, she feels a pair of hands holding her from the behind and yanks the apron off, she
asks in surprise, “What are you doing?”

"Your hand is injured, I'll do the dishes."

She is even more shocked, her eyes turn bigger than a big ball, Troy can do the dishes? If it is not in
the nighttime, she would have thought the sun has come out from the west.

Looking at him standing awkwardly near the sink, she smiles secretly and says, "I'll do it, you're not the
kind of man that could do the dishes."

"It's okay, the more I do, the more familiar I become, I'm willing to do anything for you."

Troy insists on washing the dishes, Karin has no choice but to stand to the side, putting her hands
around the chest like the supervisor of the contractor and looking at him.

"Do you want to take a photo of me, titling the private life of the chairman?"

He looks at her, teasing her with a flirt.

Karin is stunned and says, "Don't be childish." Then she goes out of the kitchen.

Esme is watching the TV drama. She comes over and sits next to her and takes out her phone to find
out an old picture of her and Troy. In the picture, she and Troy were facing each other head to head,
and Tory’s face was filled with creams that were mischievously put by her. It is a very sweet memory,
because it is not printed out, so even after years, it is still so clear and complete.

"Huh? You hasn't deleted the photo yet?"



His voice surprises her, she hurriedly hides the phone, glaring at him, "Why are you sneaking around?"

"It’s not my fault. You're too obsessed with the picture that you even don’t notice my footstep." Troy
looks askance at Esme, "Am I right, Esme?"

"Yes, I can hear you footstep."

Karin sneers, doubting whether this daughter is still the one she has given birth to in the first place.

"Have you finished the dishes?"

"Do you want to go to check?"

She shrugs, "No."

Troy sits down, the two are separated by a child and could hardly say anything except for occasional
eye contact.

Karin doesn't mind at all, she even wants to ignore him, but Troy could not bear the silence, it is so
torturous, so he takes out his phone, and lowers his head and begins to text a message.

Karin hears text notification from her phone, and finds that the number is Troy's number, he was
sending her a text message just now.

"You still haven't answered the question I asked you just now?"

"What question?" She pretends to be confused.

"What if the child's father needs the child's mother?"

"There's no solution... " she replies him simply.



"How can’t it be solved? Can't the child's mother just go back to the child's father?"

Troy presses the confirm button to send the message, his eyes focus on Karin, full of sincerity and
affection...

"Give me a reason to be with you again?"

"I love you, is this reason enough for you?"

She awkwardly moves her body and is thinking about how to reply his message. Esme is getting angry,
"Who are you two sending message to? Why is it that either your phone is ringing or his phone is
ringing, you guys are making a lot of noise, I can not focus on watching TV... "

Perfect! Karin takes the chance to excuse themselves.

"Then let's go back and watch it in our home? Uncle Troy is going to bed."

"I will not go to bed so early."

Troy makes his position clearly with certainty.

She glares at him and holds her daughter's hand, "Esme, be a good girl, you can't keep disturbing
Uncle Troy like this, he must be quite annoying because of us, even though he doesn’t say it in front of
us."

"No. I'm not bothered by you at all, I'm not like someone who is good at duplicity. You are most
welcomed in my home."

"Do you hear what he says? Don't always misunderstand Uncle Troy, seeing him being wronged by
you, my heart feels sad for him... "

Esme sympathetically skims at Troy.



Troy is so thrilled in his heart, and he gets up and walks into the bedroom, not for a while, he calls for
Karin at the top of his voice, "Karin, come in and dress the medicine for me!"

Karin pretends not to hear him, but with Esme around, can she keep pretending to be deaf?

"Mom, do you hear Uncle Troy call for you?"

"Yes, but I ignore him."

"Oh okay."

Esme nods, but then she confronts her, "Then in the future, if mom calls for me, I also pretend not to
hear you."

Karin is about to burst into fury. It is not easy to be a single mom, and it is even harder to be a good
single mom who is trying to be a good model for a precocious child...

She gets up and walks into the bedroom, but sees that the bedroom is empty, then she shouts
suspiciously, "Troy?"

Hearing no one answering, she is about to go out, but suddenly Troy who is hiding behind the door
grabs her around the waist from the behind, "You know that I am in the room, can’t you try to look for
me for a while?"

"Stop it."

She struggles for a while, "Esme is still in the living room."

"What are you afraid of, even if she sees us, she will pretend not to see us."

"Do you still want to put on the medicine? Let go of me if you want."



Troy releases his hands, "Come on."

He sits on the edge of the bed, unbuttons his shirt with one hand, his movement is extremely slow, as if
he is deliberately dawdling. He wears a black shirt today, as he unbuttons the shirt, his bronze skin
reveals as well, the strong muscles can tell he does exercises for many years. Karin unconsciously
swallows her saliva, and looks at elsewhere.

"Is it ready yet?"

She asks impatiently.

"It's ready."

Troy throws his shirt onto the bed, his entire upper body is naked, seeing Karin walking towards him
with her eyes close, he smiles sourly, "Is it necessary to act like this? Which part of my body that you
have not seen before?"

Karin becomes irritated, "I tell you now, this is the last time I help you put on medicine."

"That's why I undressed so slowly, I know it is the last time."

The implication is that he deliberately wants her to stay a little longer.

Karin squeezes the ointment onto his wound and rubs it gently, Troy looks like he is very enjoying it and
says from the bottom of his heart, "I'm so grateful to that crazy man."

She pauses for a moment, saying nothing, and continues to distribute the ointment over his wound. .

"If it isn’t for him, you might still have a nonchalant attitude towards me
now."

Troy releases his hands, "Come on."

He sits on the edge of the bed, unbuttons his shirt with one hand, his movement is extremely slow, as if
he is deliberately dawdling. He wears a black shirt today, as he unbuttons the shirt, his bronze skin
reveals as well, the strong muscles can tell he does exercises for many years. Karin unconsciously

“That's why | undressed so slowly, | Know it is the last time."

"If it isn’t for him, you might still have a nonchalant attitude towards me

now.
