She had not shown him such a smile in so many years.
Martin Weiss withdrew his gaze and told himself again that maybe it was best not to disturb her.
Once Kyla finished checking the goods Chase Harper brought over, she looked up to find that Martin Weiss was no longer in the store.
An indescribable sense of loss instantly rose in her heart.
‘Is he… gone? Did he just leave without a word?’
“Huh? Is Mr. Weiss gone?” Chase Harper’s voice rang out in surprise.
“Yes, he’s gone,” said Kyla.
“Have you and Mr. Weiss made up and gotten back together?” asked Chase Harper.
Kyla froze before quickly denying it. “No, we’re just like before. We’re not really together.”
Chase Harper scratched his head in embarrassment. “I thought you had gotten back together. The way you looked around for him just now was as if you were afraid you couldn’t find him. I thought you two…”
Chase Harper’s unintentional words set off a storm in Kyla’s heart.
‘Was I afraid… I couldn’t find Martin Weiss? How is that possible?’
However… the sense of loss that remained in her heart seemed to remind her of something.
‘Is it true that I have no affection left for Martin Weiss? Or… is there still a lingering affection I don’t know about?
When Jason got out of the bathroom in the evening, he saw Grace reading a law book, but she was in a daze.
He came up to her, pulled her into his arms, and whispered in her ear, “What are you thinking?”
She snapped back to her senses and blushed faintly.
They were already married for so long, but she still could not help blushing at his sudden act of intimacy.
Grace muttered, “I’m just thinking about Kyla and Martin Weiss. They looked like an ordinary family of three when I saw them today. Nelson was also smiling more, and Kyla didn’t seem to reject Martin Weiss as much as before.”
“So?”
Grace said, “So I think perhaps Kyla would be happier if she stayed with Martin Weiss. I disliked Martin Weiss at first. After all, he wronged Kyla so much. But he has remained by Kyla’s side all these years and never had anything going on with other women.
He… must really love Kyla.”
If one’s love was not deep, one would not be able to stay with the same person for so many years.
Jason said, “His love for Kyla is far deeper than one can imagine, but Kyla is also more indifferent than ordinary people. Any ordinary person would have forgiven him long ago.”
Grace said, “That’s because Kyla was deeply hurt. Kyla is only indifferent because she was too greatly disappointed in the past.
That’s why she’s not willing to be with Martin Weiss even if she’s willing to forgive him.”
Jason’s arms suddenly tightened around Grace. Every time he saw Martin Weiss, he realized how lucky he was.
He had coldly watched Grace get imprisoned back then. If he had intervened, Grace would not have suffered in prison.
Fortunately, Grace forgave him and was willing to be with him.
“Thank you,” he muttered.
Grace chuckled. “What’s come over you? We’re talking about Kyla and Martin Weiss. What are you thanking me for?”
“Thank you for being willing to forgive me. If you had refused to forgive me, I’m afraid I’d be worse off and more miserable than Martin Weiss,” said Jason.
Grace turned around and fixed her eyes on Jason. “Jay, I can only be truly happy because there’s no other man in the world who can love me like you do. And neither can I love anyone else as much as I love you.”
After a pause, her hands caressed his face. “Thank you for falling in love with me.”
If he had not fallen in love with her, would she have a different fate? Perhaps she would never be able to reverse her case and might even struggle to survive.
“Thank you for picking me up.” He gently brushed his cheek against her palm. Then, he bent down and kissed her on the lips.
By the time the kiss was over, Grace’s face was red.
Jason gazed intently at the person in front of him. “Grace…” His hoarse voice whispered.
He picked her up sideways, and the meaning was obvious enough.
Grace wrapped her arms around Jason’s neck. Everything went without saying…
She was glad she had chosen to forgive him back then, and now, she was happy.
However, she wondered if Kyla would be happy too if she could forgive Martin Weiss one day?
Slap!
A slap hit Jacqueline Bowman hard in the face, sending her knocking into a nearby coffee table.
“How dare you, Jacqueline Bowman?! You kept telling me that you helped Kyla a lot previously and she would surely repay you, so I bragged about it to my friends. I said that I had Weiss Group’s project in the bag. Then what happened? You got nothing out of it!” Neal Reid snapped at her.
Jacqueline Bowman felt only a burning pain in her cheek.
Covering her cheek, she said quickly, “Yes… I did help Kyla out a lot back then. I didn’t expect her to be so heartless. She won’t even do me such little favor when I… I’ve gone to see her several times. Why don’t… Why don’t I go look for her again?”
“Go look for her again?” Neal Reid sneered. “Are you going to see her or Martin Weiss again? Do you know that when I was at Weiss Group today, Martin Weiss warned me in front of others to control the people around me and not let women do something they shouldn’t do to him?!”
