She gasped, not expecting him to do that. She fell into a trance for a while.

His long fingers tied the shoelace for her, and the gesture caused him to have a deja vu.

Yes, he had helped her tie her shoelaces just like this before.

Even though he had forgotten his feelings, it did not mean he did not remember them.

‘What did I feel when I tied this woman’s shoelaces back then? Was I… as willing as I am now?

‘Yes, I was willing!”

The word appeared in Martin Weiss’s heart all of a sudden.

He was angry that she was talking and laughing with Chase Harper when he arrived.

The woman had always looked distant in front of him, but she could smile so gently to Chase Harper.

‘What’s so good about Chase Harper? He’s just an ordinary man!’

In his opinion, the man was not attractive at all.

He did not understand. Of course, he did not want to understand! He just did not want to see her smile at Chase Harper like that again.

However, at the sight of her untied shoelace, he got down on his knees so naturally. It was as if it was… the most natural thing in the world.

It was as if him crouching like this was perfectly justified!

When the shoelace was tied, Martin Weiss got up again and left while grabbing Kyla, who was in a trance.

Chase Harper was lost in thought as he watched the two figures leave.

‘Maybe… the friend Kyla said she was meeting here is Martin Weiss?’

He had heard Nelson talk about his mommy and daddy getting married and having another child soon.

Kyla’s baby bump was proof of that.

However, since they were already married, why was there a weird vibe between them? They did not look like a normal couple.

‘And Kyla’s staying in a hotel?

‘Is there something going on between them? Me asking Kyla out to help pick out a gift for Juliet won’t cause a misunderstanding between them, will it?’

Chase Harper felt uneasy again at the thought of this.

Martin Weiss took Kyla to the car.

As soon as she got into the car, he pinned her to the backseat. “You and Chase Harper had better keep your distance. I have no intention of seeing the news of my wife having an affair with another man on a gossip magazine while we’re still married.”

Kyla frowned as she tried to push Martin Weiss away, but her efforts were in vain, “I told you there’s

nothing going on between Chase and me!”

“If something’s really going on between you two, Chase Harper’s dead meat.” The words escaped his thin lips. There was even not a hint of bitterness on his face as he said this.

However, she felt her blood freeze. He… He was not joking. He was serious!

If she had anything romantic going on with Chase Harper, Martin Weiss would probably kill him.

“Nothing… will happen between him and me,” she murmured after a long pause. Then, she wriggled.

“Will you let go of me now? This is uncomfortable.”

He stared at her. Moments later, he let go.

She adjusted her sitting posture. “I… want to go back to my hotel and rest.”

Martin Weiss instructed the driver in front, “Go to the hotel.”

The car drove off in the direction of the hotel.

Kyla was at a loss. Martin Weiss seemed to be constantly gazing at her. It was as though he wanted to see through her.

In the past few days, she had gone to great lengths to see him, yet she did not know what to say now that he was sitting beside her.

Perhaps she understood that he would not change his mind no matter how much she begged him.

Perhaps she was staying in tMason Swansonty because she was unwilling. Perhaps… she wanted to see more of him.

If she went back to Emerald City, there was no telling when she would see him again.

She might never see him again.

When the car stopped at the hotel’s entrance, Kyla was about to open the door and get off when Martin Weiss suddenly grabbed her hand. “What’s the matter? Are you just going to get down from the car?”

She looked at him in confusion.

“Kyla, I thought you came to L City to ask me for help. I’m now right here in front of you. What’s the matter? Are you not going to ask anymore?” he said.

She looked straight at him, her lips quivering slightly. “Will you say yes if I ask again?”

He seemed to say nonchalantly, “That depends on how you ask me. Perhaps if I’m pleased with the way you do it, I’ll grant your request to spare Jacqueline Bowman’s life so that you can learn. the whereabouts of the person you’re looking for.”

Kyla pressed her lips together. “Will you tell me how I can please you? Should I get down on my knees? Or kowtow to you? I’ll do whatever you say!”

He frowned, remembering how he had grabbed her head and forced her to kneel and kowtow to Paisley Daniels.

Even though his feelings for her had faded, unease was welling up within him.

“Let’s go to your room first,” said Martin Weiss.

The two got out of the car and came to Kyla’s hotel room. After entering the room, Martin Weiss casually took off his coat, put it on the couch, and sat down.

Even though he was only sitting casually, he still gave her a sense of oppression, making her flustered.

“How do you want me to ask you?” Kyla asked after taking a deep breath.

A

“I asked you to give me a chance, a chance to stay with you. I would make you fall in love with me again, but you weren’t even willing to give me that,” he said.

Her face paled slightly, but she still quietly waited for what he would do next.

“I’m offering you a chance today. If you can make me want to be with you, I’ll spare Jacqueline Bowman.”

However, as soon as he said this, her expression changed instantly. She looked at him in shock. She could hardly believe what she was hearing.

“But… I’m pregnant,” she said.

“It’s not impossible, is it? Aren’t you already past the early stages of pregnancy? If you ask a doctor if it’s okay to do it, the doctor will say yes too. Kyla, aren’t you willing to do anything for your friends?

What’s the matter? I’m giving you a chance, yet you’re turning it down. Besides, I’m talking about whether you’re willing or not. Do you think I, a man who doesn’t love you, will be willing to do such a thing with you?” he said indifferently.

Kyla’s face reddened.

She knew that he was insulting her to vent his anger.

The man in front of her no longer felt the same way for her as back then when he was willing to even risk his life to save her. He now no longer loved her.

“What about you? Why don’t you give it a try and see if I’ll like it? If you’re that capable, you can have

everything want.”

His voice was still ringing in her ears.

Kyla’s hands that were by her sides clenched slightly. She knew that perhaps he wanted nothing more than to see her flaunt herself like a jester, and maybe she would get nothing but shame in the end.

However, she had to give it a try for Amber Mitchell. Even if there were dangers and difficulties in front of her, she would go through them. Besides… she had hurt him once, and it was only fair that he hurt her now.

Kyla slowly stepped forward and leaned over slightly while she pressed her hands gently on Martin Weiss’s shoulder.

He did not move and only looked indifferently at her.

She felt the palms of her hands sweat a little as she became nervous. Her fingers gently pushed his collar aside while her fingertips touched the skin of his neck. Her face drew closer and closer to his.

It was getting closer and closer… It was close enough that she could count his eyelashes, see her face in his eyes, and feel his breath.

His expression was so indifferent.

He used to smile so gently at her when he was in the hospital. His dark eyes were full of love as he tenderly held her hand and said to her, “Kyla, I’ll be good to you…”

However, all that was left between them now was indifference.

Kyla let her lips press against his thin lips. His slightly cold lips made her timid.

She tried her best to kiss him, but he did not respond.

Gloom flashed across Kyla’s eyes. She was about to back off when his big hand grabbed the back of her head suddenly. “Is that all? It’s so simple that it’s not even enticing to me. How could such a kiss turn me on or make me willing? It should at least be like this…”

After he finished speaking, his lips rested heavily on hers, and a fierce kiss followed.

Kyla almost gasped for breath from the kiss. She almost lost herself in the intense kiss. What had happened between them in the hospital kept flashing across her mind.

She missed the rare loving moments they shared between them so much…

Finally, he ended the kiss as his fingers went over her wet lips. “Now, it’s enough. Got it?”

She came to her senses, her eyes glazing over.

Something seemed to stir in her chest.

Kyla took a step backward awkwardly as she panted slightly. “You…”

“What’s the matter? Do you not want to continue? Or is your determination to find your friend no more than that?” he asked.

Kyla bit her lip. She had a fear she could not articulate.

‘What am I afraid of? It’s not it’s our first time sleeping with each other. Besides, I’m in love with him!
