he got together with her, perhaps the emotional fluctuations he experienced because of her would calm down, and he would realize that the woman was nothing. Then, they could have a peaceful divorce.

The hypnotist had also told him his affections would not recover as long as no one uttered the code word!

Kyla had only influenced him ‘slightly.’ Once they spent some time together, perhaps he would get tired of her and his emotions. would stop fluctuating because of her.

The two hands Kyla put on her covers slowly clenched as her dark eyes looked blankly at Martin Weiss. After a long pause, she took a deep breath. “Okay, I promise.”

“Okay, then. I’ll have someone take you back to Emerald City once you’re discharged from the hospital.

I’ll also go to Emerald City once I’ve settled the affairs here.” With that said, Martin Weiss walked out of the ward without giving Kyla another glance.

Kyla was the only one in the empty ward.

She was still a little stunned, not expecting that things would take such a turn.

Martin Weiss… agreed to let Jacqueline Bowman off on probation in exchange for… a period of real married life with her.

However, Martin Weiss’s goal must be to prove that… there was nothing special about being a real married couple with her. Kyla smiled bitterly. It would be nice. At least… she got to spend more time with him.

Perhaps their married life during this time would become her most precious memory.

When Martin Weiss returned to the Weiss family’s house, Mrs. Weiss was still awake. When she saw her son return, she immediately asked, “Why did you come home so late? I almost thought…”

Mrs. Weiss paused and did not continue, but Martin Weiss said,” What did you think? Did you think I’d go back to Emerald City with Kyla?”

Mrs. Weiss smiled awkwardly as she tried hard to persuade him, saying, “Martin, Kyla has now returned to Emerald City, so leave her alone. I’ll find you any woman you want. If you like Kyla’s looks, I can find you someone who looks similar to her.”

“Mom, Kyla didn’t return to Emerald City today. She’s now in the hospital. Her belly was hurting today, so I sent her to the hospital. She’ll probably have to stay in the hospital for a few days before getting discharged,” said Martin Weiss.

Mrs. Weiss was shocked to hear that. However, what her son said next shocked her even more.

“When Kyla is discharged in a few days, I’ll have someone send her back to Emerald City. I’ll wrap up my affairs here and go to Emerald City too. I’ve agreed to her request of letting Jacqueline Bowman off on probation but at the cost of… being a real married couple with me in the one year after the baby is born. We’ll get a divorce when the time is up.”

Mrs. Weiss froze for quite some time before saying,” Why… Why would you let yourself get entangled with her? A real married couple? It’s only for a little over a year. Do you call that a real married couple?”

“Mom, I’ve made up my mind!” said Martin Weiss.

However, when he was about to walk upstairs, Mrs. Weiss suddenly grabbed her son’s arm. “Martin, can’t you get over her?

Is that why you want to be with her in this way?”

Martin Weiss turned to look at his mother. “Mom, I’m doing this to get over her!”

He pried his mother’s hand away and walked upstairs after he was done talking.

Mrs. Weiss stood still in a daze. After a long pause, she said with a sigh, “Are you doing it to get over her? I’m just scared it’ll be harder for you to get over her when the time comes!”

Three days later, Kyla was discharged from the hospital, and Martin Weiss sent Mallory Malcom to escort Kyla back to Emerald City.

“I can take the high-speed train back alone. You don’t have to drive me back,” said Kyla.

Mallory Malcom smiled. “It’s Chairman Weiss’s order. He cares about you, Mrs. Weiss. I’m just doing what I was told. Just get in the car, Mrs. Weiss.”

Kyla said nothing and got into the car.

The car slowly drove away from L City. More than three hours later, they arrived in Emerald City.

As soon as Mrs. Corbyn saw that her daughter was sent back in a luxury car with a young man following her and calling her ‘Mrs. Weiss’, she immediately asked with some doubt, “Did… Martin Weiss get someone to send you back?”

“Yes, Mom,” said Kyla.

“So you and Martin Weiss…”

“It’s a long story, Mom. I’ll tell you about it later,” said Kyla. Then, she bade goodbye to Mallory Malcom and went back to the store with her mother.

In the store, Kyla briefed her mother about her trip to L City, but she omitted Chase Harper’s involvement and the fact that she was taken to the hospital because of the pain in her belly.

Mrs. Corbyn’s expression turned grave as she listened. “So you’re going to… be living with him?”

“Yeah, it’ll only be for more than a year. He didn’t mention Nelson.

This place is closer to Nelson’s school, so I want you to continue looking after Nelson. I’ll live with him and the baby. Most of his business is in L. City, so I don’t think he’ll spend much time in Emerald City.

Anyway, we’ll get a divorce a year after the baby is born.”

When that day came, she and Martin Weiss would have nothing to do with each other.

Mrs. Corbyn sighed. “That’s all we can do now!”

“But for the next year or so, you’ll have to work harder, Mom,” said Kyla.

“I’m fine with it. As long as you and the kids are safe, it doesn’t matter how hard I work!” Mrs. Corbyn said.

Kyla’s eyes reddened as she hugged her mother. “Mom, I’m thankful to have you here.” No matter how much trouble she encountered, her mother was always there to protect her.

Mrs. Corbyn patted her daughter gently. “I’m your mother.” That sentence meant everything.

The next day, Kyla met with Grace and Lina.

The two were surprised to learn about Kyla and Martin Weiss’s agreement.

“No way. Uhh… What on earth does Martin Weiss want? Didn’t he hypnotize himself to forget his feelings? Why would he want to live a normal married life with you?

And… he agreed to divorce later on…” Lina was confused.

Grace said, “Is Martin Weiss… planning to use this time to get over you?”

Kyla smiled mournfully, “Yes. He said the more people can’t get something, the more they want it. And when they do get it, they might find that it’s nothing much. I guess I might end up being ‘nothing much’

to him.”

Lina looked speechless. “How can he do that? Didn’t he consider the possibility that he’ll be more reluctant to get a divorce after living with you?”

“No.” Kyla shook her head and said, “He isn’t the same person he used to be. When I first went to him, he looked at me as if he was looking at someone unimportant.”

Lina hesitated a little before saying, “Kyla, you and Martin Weiss don’t have to go this far. Your health can’t be too bad. Besides, it’s been five years. Why don’t we find a way to recover the feelings Martin Weiss has forgotten? Then you can…”

“No thanks. Just leave it at that. It’s… good enough. I don’t want him to risk his life for me again,” said Kyla as she suppressed the sorrow to the bottom of her heart. She smiled faintly. “Lina, I’ve made up my mind.”

Seeing the smile on Kyla’s face, Lina felt sadder.

‘Kyla… has feelings for Martin Weiss too. These two people who love each other can’t be with each other.’

One loved too much, while the other loved too little. Was there no way for them to be together?

Whether it was deep or faint, it was still love.

Grace quickly changed the subject and said, “Whatever it is, Martin Weiss has promised to cooperate to get Jacqueline Bowman probation, so there’s hope for Kyla to find out Amber Mitchell’s whereabouts from Jacqueline Bowman. But Jacqueline Bowman seems to be getting away too easily.”

“What else can we do? She refuses to say anything unless she’s released,” said Lina.

“I do have an idea, but it’ll be difficult to implement it. And it’ll require Martin Weiss’s cooperation,” said Grace, who did not want the law to let go of a perpetrator but also wanted to help Kyla find Amber Mitchell.

After all, she could understand what Kyla was feeling.

“Tell us more!” Lina was interested.

Kyla also looked like she was waiting for her to go on.

Therefore, Grace lowered her voice and told her two best friends the idea she had.

Lina’s eyes widened as she listened. Finally, she asked uncertainly, “Will it… work?”

“I just happened to think of it. It should work if we set it up right, but we need many parties to cooperate with us. Also, Martin Weiss is the victim, so we need his cooperation in court. I just don’t know if he’ll agree to this. But it’s the only way to uncover Amber Mitchell’s whereabouts and bring Jacqueline Bowman to justice,” said Grace.

Kyla bit her lip hesitantly.

Lina said, “Kyla, why don’t you give it a try? It’ll be infuriating if people like Jacqueline Bowman are allowed to get away with their crimes!”

Kyla said, “I’ll go look for Martin Weiss again and see if I can convince him.” After all, it would be troublesome for Martin Weiss to work with them to put on a show.

He had finally agreed to let Jacqueline go on probation, so she had no idea if persuading Martin Weiss to do this would lead to further complications.

However… she resented Jacqueline Bowman when she thought of how she had colluded with Mr.

Lambert to kidnap her, which even led to Martin Weiss getting injured.

Lina clapped her hands and said, “Okay, that’s settled, then! Why don’t we do something entertaining since it’s rare for us to get together?”

“What is it? Kyla is pregnant, and you have to look after your daughter. What can we do?” Grace said.

Otherwise, they would not have gathered at Hadwin Stephenson’s mansion. It was all so Lina could check on Tina Stephenson at any time she wanted.

Tina Stephenson had the confinement lady and maids looking after her, but Lina had to check on the little one whenever she “We can also have entertainment at home. Do you play mahjong?” Lina asked before quickly adding, “Yes, Grace can play. What about you, Kyla?”

“I know a little,” said Kyla. She knew the basics, but she had not played with anyone in years.

“We’ll play mahjong, then,” said Lina.

“But there are only three of us. How are we going to play mahjong?” Grace asked.

“Hadwin called just now to say that he’ll be home earlier today. Counting the time, he should be here in a minute. That makes four players, doesn’t it?” Lina said.

Sure enough, Hadwin Stephenson soon arrived, so Lina hurriedly set up the mahjong table so they could start playing.

Hadwin Stephenson raised his eyebrows. “I didn’t know you could play mahjong.”

“I’m known as the mahjong expert in our family. When we visit relatives during the new year, I’ll step in whenever they’re one player short.”

Hadwin Stephenson could not help laughing at Lina’s smugness.

“Okay, then. Let’s see how good you are.” As he spoke, he ordered the servants to take out a set of mahjong tiles.

Lina had bought the mahjong set when she went shopping. It was merchandise from a celebrity event.

He thought she bought it as a souvenir, but it came in handy at such a time.

However, there was no mahjong table in the mansion, so the four started playing mahjong on an ordinary square table.
