“What do you think, is it good-looking?” Kyla walked over and asked, but her voice suddenly stopped short because Martin’s eyes were now red and misty, as if covered with a layer of fog.
In this way, it’s almost like wanting to cry.
“What’s wrong with you?” she asked, “Your eyes are so red, is it because they’re uncomfortable?”
“I…I’m fine,” he said, looking a bit embarrassed as he closed his eyes and tried to calm his emotions. After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes and said to her, “You look very beautiful in that wedding dress.”
“That one will do.” Kyla said to the staff member next to her.
“Okay, but customizing a wedding dress will take one month,”
said the staff member.
Next, Kyla arranged a specific time with the staff to take the photos. After leaving the store, Kyla turned to Martin and asked, “Do you have anything else to do today?”
“No, I’ve already scheduled today’s work for the day after tomorrow,” said Martin.
“Well… let’s go watch a movie. It’s been a long time since we watched one,” she suggested. Come to think of it, the last time they watched a movie together was over two years ago, and it was to say goodbye to him.
But now… it’s not the same anymore!
He looked at her steadily, his eyes flickering slightly, and said, “Okay.”
Kyla breathed a sigh of relief, fearing he might refuse.
“Let’s go,” she said, taking his hand and leading him towards the parking area.
He paused for a moment, his feet coming to a stop, and stared blankly at the hand that was being held.
Kyla turned her head to follow the other person’s gaze and said, “Martin, I just don’t want to waste any more time between us. We’re not young anymore, and we’ve spent so many years in those ups and downs. Now, I just want us to be like a normal couple, able to stroll around, watch movies, and chat casually.”
Their lives have already passed halfway, and the remaining time should be cherished every day.
Martin didn’t say anything else, he just lifted his feet and followed Kyla to their car.
When the car arrived at the underground parking lot of
*Mason Swansonnema, Martin took the initiative to hold Kyla’s hand as they got out of the car.
This time, it was Kyla’s turn to be stunned.
Martin said, “As you said, we are not young anymore, and we really shouldn’t waste any more time. Let’s go.”
Kyla smiled and felt the warmth of the hand holding hers.
The two of them took the elevator and arrived at the movie theater where they bought their tickets.
While waiting to enter, Martin held Kyla’s hand the whole time.
Although holding hands in a movie theater is quite normal, after all, many couples come to tMason
Swansonnema.
However, Martin himself is already quite good-looking, and coupled with the fact that there are more young people than middle-aged people in this cinema, holding hands like this actually attracts attention in a strange way.
Many young women looked towards them, and some even whispered envious comments.
“Wow, how sweet!”
“They must be very loving! I wish my future husband could hold my hand like that too!”
“Ha, who knows if she’s the other woman!” Some discordant voices also chimed in, “Usually, married couples don’t hold hands like this. It’s usually when there’s someone else outside that they do this…”
However, before the person could finish speaking, Martin’s cold gaze swept over them, causing the rest of their words to get stuck in their throat.
Martin walked towards the person, and Kyla followed him because they were holding hands.
“Martin?” Kyla asked in confusion.
I saw Martin standing in front of the person who had just spoken, and he said coldly, “This is my wife. If
I hear any more false statements from you that defame my wife and me, we’ll see each other in court.”
When the other person heard Martin’s words, their face changed and their mouth moved, but in the end, they didn’t say anything. Instead, they walked away dejectedly.
Kyla looked at Martin strangely. In the past, if he heard people say things like this, he might not have bothered to pay attention. But today, he walked straight up to the person and warned them.
“What’s wrong?” Martin met her gaze and asked.
“I just feel like what you did earlier isn’t something you would normally do,” she murmured.
“Well, coming to watch a movie today isn’t something I would normally do either, right?” Martin replied.
Kyla was speechless.
As the movie’s start time approached, the two checked their tickets and walked into the theater.
In the dim environment, Kyla watched the movie and felt an unusual sense of calm. The two of them could sit quietly and watch the movie like this, which was really nice.
It reminded her of the early days of their relationship.
The time they wasted between them could not be regained, but what about this feeling? Could it be regained?
A complete feeling, whether it’s love or hate, should at least be complete, not incomplete and forgotten!
In a month’s time, they would be taking wedding photos, and after the shoot, she would choose to break his hypnosis.
She wants him to regain the forgotten feelings. If he had chosen to leave her at that time, she would have done everything possible to win him back.
As Valda said, be thick-skinned and don’t give up!
Perhaps they both loved each other at the beginning, but they gave up too easily, which led to one mistake after another.
The movie was still playing, and Martin and Kyla’s hands were still holding each other tightly…
Jasper’s recent source of happiness is learning to play the piano with Lawrence. Their teacher is also fond of Lawrence and constantly praises his high aptitude and natural talent for playing the piano.
Whenever Lawrence receives praise, his face turns red like a red apple.
And every time this happens, Jasper can’t help but raise his hand and touch the other person’s cheek to confirm if they are really blushing.
In her opinion, Lawrence blushes easily, which is really amusing.
And when she touched him like that, it actually made him blush even more.
Although Lawrence felt embarrassed, he didn’t stop Jasper’s actions. In fact, when her hand touched his cheek, he felt a flutter in his heart that he couldn’t explain.
“Jasper, do you…do you like touching other people’s faces?” Lawrence asked hesitantly.
“No,” she shook her head, “I just like touching your face because you’re cute.”
Although children at this age have a strong sense of gender, Jasper’s awareness in this area is still relatively naive due to her twin brothers being male and her relationship with
William.
“Also, William is very cute and I like him too,” Jasper added.
“William?” Lawrence was surprised. This was the first time he had heard the name “William” from her.
“Yeah, he’s my best friend. I visit Deer Capital every summer and winter break, and William comes to Emerald City too,”
Jasper explained.
The words “best friend” stirred a sour feeling in Lawrence’s heart that he couldn’t explain.
G
Suddenly, he had an urge to know what kind of person William was.
“Does he live in Deer Capital?” Lawrence asked quietly.
“Yeah, he can also play the piano. Next time he comes to Emerald City, we can play for each other,”
Jasper said, then suddenly remembered something and said, “Oh, I promised William that I would record the piece you played for him. How about you play now and I’ll record it?”
“Now?” Lawrence suddenly felt a bit uneasy.
“Is that not okay?” Jasper blinked and asked.
“No…no, it’s okay,” Lawrence quickly said.
Jasper smiled, “You play very well. Your teacher also praised you. William will definitely like your music.” She took out her phone and prepared to record.
Lawrence sat down at the piano and when Jasper said “start,” his fingers began to play one note after another on the keys.
This time, Lawrence didn’t know why, but he was particularly nervous and focused, as if he wanted to present his best self in this video.
He didn’t want to embarrass himself or have William think he played poorly.
At this moment, he didn’t realize that this mindset was actually a form of competition.
After finishing the video shoot, Jasper watched it again and Lawrence stood nervously beside her, asking, “Is it okay?”
“Of course it’s okay! You played so well, Lawrence, you really are talented!” Jasper praised him greatly.
Lawrence’s face turned red again, but he felt less nervous now.
Later that night, Jasper sent the piano video to William, but she didn’t receive a response online. She couldn’t resist calling him.
“William, did you receive and watch the video I sent you? Why didn’t you reply?” she asked, also leaving messages online asking if he liked it.
“I watched it,” William replied, but his voice sounded a bit muffled.
However, Jasper didn’t notice anything unusual in his voice.
“Isn’t Lawrence’s playing great? Actually, if you were there in person, it would sound even better!”
Jasper said excitedly.
William murmured, “Do you just like listening to him play?”
