“But if he was hypnotized, there must be a ‘code word’ to lift the hypnosis. As long as we mention the code word, then Martin Weiss’s feelings for Kyla will return.”
“But why should we do that?” Jason asked in reply. “Kyla was the one who chose to separate. Martin Weiss just followed her decision. Since they’ve separated, Martin Weiss can deal with his feelings for Kyla in his own way. Why do you want to make him remember when he has chosen to forget?”
“That may be true, but… If Kyla is the only one who still remembers their relationship, while Martin Weiss has forgotten all about it, then… Kyla…”
Jason said, “Do you pity Kyla? But I think Martin Weiss is more pitiful. Kyla could still live a good life after they separated, but Martin Weiss couldn’t. He couldn’t continue living at all. That’s why he chose to undergo hypnosis.”
“But Kyla is probably still in love with Martin Weiss. There might be other reasons that led her to make that decision,” said Grace.
“But for whatever reason, she still chose to separate from Martin Weiss in the end, didn’t she?”
Jason’s question left Grace speechless.
“That only shows that she might not love Martin Weiss that much after all. It might be best for Martin Weiss to forget about their relationship.”
Grace knew that perhaps he was right, but the thought of Kyla possibly being given the cold shoulder by Martin Weiss in L City made her worry about her best friend.
Even if Kyla did not love him that deeply, it was sad when only one person remembered the relationship.
“Alright, stop thinking about them.” Jason hugged Grace and said, “Even if Kyla is your friend and you’re worried about her, this is between her and Martin Weiss. It’s no use worrying about it. Why don’t you care more about your husband instead?”
She muttered, “How could I not care about you?”
“Really?” he asked.
“Do you really?” he whispered as he took her hand and gently kissed her fingertips. “Think of me more often. I want you to think of me all the time.”
That statement seemed like a spell. Those dark peach blossom eyes shone brightly and alluringly as if they wanted to captivate all her attention.
Grace’s heart beat violently as she found her fingertips beginning to burn.
‘He’s… trapping me with his looks!”
He always did this to her, and it always worked!
He was irresistible to her.
“Hmm? Will you always think of me?” He gazed intensely at her as his lips kissed her fingertips. She could hardly control herself from the seductive look in his eyes.
“Yes…” she could not help saying.
A smile appeared on his lips. It was gorgeous and charming.
Grace felt her heart jump again. She could not help leaning over and kissing Jason’s lips. “Jay, you know what? Seeing you like this reminds me of something I read in novels.”
“What is it?”
“It’s…” Her lips came to his ear, and she whispered in a coquettish voice, “You teasing little minx.”
”
He looked at her helplessly. She was the only one who dared say so.
“Yes, I want to tease you.” He would do whatever it took to keep her addicted to him and deepen the addiction.
He loved her so much, so… he wanted her to love him just as much!
Chase Harper came to look for Kyla, and they went to buy Juliet gifts together.
However, Chase Harper was still slightly worried about Kyla’s. condition. “Is it alright for you to go shopping for gifts with me like this?”
“I’m just pregnant. It’s not like I can’t walk. Besides, aren’t there many pregnant women who work these days? I’m just going to the mall to buy Juliet a gift,” said Kyla.
“Then… Let me know if you’re tired and we’ll find a place to rest,” said Chase Harper.
“Sure,” answered Kyla.
The two went to the mall and began to choose the gifts.
Chase Harper thought about buying clothes and shoes for his daughter, but in his eyes, everything looked the same. He did not know what his daughter liked.
Kyla picked out a lemon-colored wool dress and a pair of white loafers to go with it. “By the way, what’s Juliet’s current height?” asked Kyla.
“Huh?” Chase Harper scratched his head in embarrassment. He did not know his daughter’s height.
Kyla knew from Chase Harper’s reaction that he most likely had no idea about his child’s height, so she tried to recall it from her memory. “The last time I saw Juliet, she was about 100cm tall. It’s been a few months. I think I’d better buy 110cm. Kids grow fast.”
“Okay, I’ll buy the 110cm one, then,” said Chase Harper.
The shop assistant nearby said, “Moms tend to know the child’s height better. Dads can be confused about little things sometimes. You must love each other very much. Your wife’s carrying another baby.”
“Ah, no… No…” Chase Harper instantly blushed and said as he waved his hands repeatedly.
The shop assistant seemed confused. Kyla smiled and said, “I’m not the child’s mother. I’m friends with this gentleman, who wants to choose a gift for his daughter. So I’m here to help him.”
The shop assistant was instantly embarrassed. “Sorry, I misunderstood.”
“It’s alright,” said Kyla. After all, she was pregnant and shopping with Chase Harper. They were also buying clothes for children. People would easily misunderstand.
She caressed her belly with her hand. She had thought of going shopping with Martin Weiss to buy their children clothes or something else, but she would probably never get to experience anything like that.
“What’s the matter? What’s on your mind?” Chase Harper walked up to Kyla after paying the bill.
“Nothing. By the way, I want to pick out a toy for Juliet,” said Kyla. Then, she went to the children’s toy section with Chase Harper.
Kyla chose a small plush doll that looked like a cute little girl. The doll had a recording function for parents to record their voices. They could record different voice recordings on the hands, legs, and stomach. The maximum recording time was five minutes.
“I’ve searched up the toy online before and it’s pretty good. You can’t be around Juliet all the time because of work, so you can record your voice to keep her company. For example, you can record a story so that she’ll feel safe when she listens to it. She can fall asleep easier that way,” said Kyla.
“You’re so attentive. Thank you!” Chase Harper said gratefully.
“I like Juliet a lot too.” Kyla smiled.
The pair had no idea they were being followed and their shopping trip was being filmed secretly.
On the other hand, Martin Weiss was watching the video that was sent to his phone. It was a video of Kyla and Chase Harper picking out children’s toys.
They were talking and laughing. There seemed to be a warm atmosphere around them.
People would probably think they were husband and wife.
The sight of it made him feel uncomfortable. They were talking and laughing in the video, which made him find the scene harsh on the eyes.
His hand gripped the phone so tightly that he almost cracked it.
“Kyla…” He murmured her name.
‘Does she really have no feelings for Chase Harper? Why is she smiling at Chase Harper like this if she doesn’t have feelings for him?
‘She’s smiling… so gently!’
After Kyla and Chase Harper were done shopping, they looked at the time and realized it was almost noon.
They had lunch at a fast food restaurant on the first floor of the mall.
“Thank you for buying Nelson a gift,” said Kyla.
Chase Harper said sheepishly, “Why are you thanking me? Didn’t you buy Juliet a present too? I just don’t know if Nelson will like my gift.”
“He will,” said Kyla.
As they were getting up to leave after finishing lunch, Chase Harper suddenly said, “Hey, your shoelace came loose.”
Kyla looked down, and the shoelace on her left sneaker had indeed come loose. She was about to bend over to tie it when Chase Harper said hurriedly, “Hey, no, let me help you tie it.”
“My belly isn’t too big yet. It’s okay for me to crouch,” said Kyla. She was less than five months pregnant.
Chase Harper was about to say something, but he suddenly froze when he saw someone behind Kyla.
He just stared blankly.
Kyla noticed Chase Harper’s strange behavior. “What’s wrong?” She turned her head to follow Chase Harper’s gaze as she spoke.
A tall figure came into Kyla’s view.
It was Martin Weiss!
Kyla looked at the figure in shock. ‘What is he doing here? This fast food restaurant doesn’t look like a place he would normally go to!’
Besides that… Martin Weiss was now walking in her direction!
He was even looking at her!
Kyla instantly felt her heart shuddering. Is Martin Weiss… here for me?’
In this short moment, Martin Weiss had already walked up to Kyla. “It seems you’re enjoying your date with Mr. Harto. Kyla, I remember you telling me you have no romantic feelings for him not long ago.”
Chase Harper knew Martin Weiss too. When he saw Martin Weiss, he politely said, “Mr. Weiss, Miss Corbyn is only helping me to choose a gift for my daughter today. I rarely come here, so I don’t know what to buy home.”
“You make it sound nicer than it is.” Martin Weiss snorted and glanced coldly at Chase Harper. “What will others think of a man and another man’s pregnant wife choosing gifts for children? Kyla is legally my wife, and I have no intention of being cuckolded.”
Martin Weiss asked as he looked at Kyla again, “Or are you going to cuckold me?”
Something dangerous flickered in those dark eyes. Kyla instantly trembled. Her blood seemed to be freezing.
Martin Weiss seemed so dangerous right now. It was as if as long as they said the wrong thing, the consequences would be unimaginable.
“Brother… Chase and I are just friends. We happened to run into each other in tMason Swansonty, and we’re only picking out gifts. together. We’ve done nothing that crossed the boundaries of being friends,”
said Kyla.
“Do you think I’ll still be standing here and chatting with you if you had crossed that boundary?” Martin Weiss asked coldly.
Kyla froze.
Martin Weiss grabbed Kyla and was about to leave when Chase Harper suddenly said, “Hey, Kyla’s shoelace is still loose!”
Martin Weiss looked down at Kyla’s loose shoelace. Then, he crouched down to help her tie it.
