“You’ll do anything?” Martin Weiss raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly, “Then what if I said I want us to act like a real couple and I want you to stay with me for the rest of your life without ever leaving?”
Her drooping hands clenched slightly as she met his icy gaze.
He had said something like that before. His eyes had been full of longing and expectations as though her answer was the most important thing in the world.
When he repeated the same lines now, his eyes were cold and indifferent.
“Okay!” She heard her own voice answer.
However, he sneered. “Kyla, do you really think I’d want you that much again? I only asked to find out how much you despised me back then.”
It could also make him understand how unworthy his love was!
She looked at him, dumbfounded.
He approached her step by step, raised his hand, and caressed her cheek. It was just like how he had caressed her face in the hospital. “You refused me when I begged you like that, but Amber Mitchell can make you give up the rest of your life.”
She trembled slightly.
His voice continued ringing in her ears. “Loving you is probably the worst thing I’ve ever done. Kyla, you’ve misspoken. I’m rejecting your request not because I hate you for being ruthless but because I don’t love you anymore. Similarly, I don’t hate you. I just don’t have feelings for you anymore. So what you just agreed to doesn’t have any appeal to me. I don’t want the rest of your life. I don’t need you by my side either.”
Her face turned ghastly pale as she looked a little shaky.
“I hurt you too much, so you…”
“No, it’s just that I’ve forgotten about my feelings for you.” His thin lips parted slightly as he uttered the answer.
She was confused. “What do you mean? Forgotten?”
“You know about Jason losing his memory when Grace fell off a cliff, don’t you? Jason didn’t really have amnesia. His memory was only partially locked away. The hypnotist used hypnosis to play down Jason’s feelings for Grace. In other words, he remembered what had happened between them, but he just felt like a spectator watching a movie. He didn’t resonate with it.”
As he spoke, her heart sank. An instinctive sense of uneasiness rose in her chest as if she was afraid of what he might say next.
‘Did he…’
He said darkly, “What’s the matter? You’ve figured it out, haven’t you? Yes, I found that hypnotist and made him suppress my feelings for you. Hence, I don’t have any love or hatred for you anymore. You’re just a somewhat familiar stranger to me.”
Her heart instantly felt as if it had been hit hard.
“Familiar… stranger?” she murmured, her eyes watering.
“Yeah, I remember our memories together, but it’s just like watching a movie,” he said as his fingertips ran across the wet outer corners of her eyes. “Kyla, you said it’s for the best that we have nothing to do with each other in the future. I’m going to tell you the same thing too. I’ll take care of our children but I won’t do D
anything more than that.”
With that said, he withdrew his hand, casually took a tissue on the coffee table, and wiped his fingers that had touched her cheek.
He said, “Now, I’ve already told you this. You didn’t want me to trouble you, so you’d better not trouble me too.”
As he was about to leave, Kyla suddenly exclaimed, “Wait!”
“What’s the matter? Is there something else?” he asked.
“Is it true that our past is… just like a movie to you?” she asked in a murmur.
“Yeah, it’s just like watching a movie. I don’t feel much when the movie is over,” he said lightly.
She looked at him as she suddenly walked up to him. She put her hands around his neck, stood on her tiptoes, and kissed him on the lips.
As if to verify his words, she kissed him forcefully and actively,
which she would not normally have done. However, today…
Was she unwilling to believe it?
Was she unwilling to believe that he had gotten over their relationship in such a short time?
However, no matter how she kissed him, his lips were always so cold and without response.
When this kiss finally ended, Kyla stared blankly at the face right in front of her.
It was indifferent and cold. There was no emotion in his dark eyes. Even though her figure was reflected in his dark eyes, it seemed so strange.
‘This man… doesn’t love me anymore, completely and utterly!”
The realization flashed through her mind.
“Have you had enough? Kyla, I felt nothing even when you kissed me like that,” Martin Weiss said coldly before walking away.
Kyla’s mouth was full of bitterness.
She had always told him that it was enough.
Now, he was telling her the same thing.
It turned out that feelings that used to be so deep could be erased so easily. They remembered their past, but… he no longer had feelings for her.
Maybe it was not that he loved too much and she loved too little.
