Now, he was involved with Kyla again. She was afraid that her son would lose his life for Kyla one day.

“Karma! This is karma!” Mrs. Weiss sighed bitterly.

Martin Weiss led Kyla out of the club. Before she could speak, she was stuffed into the backseat of the car.

Kyla shouted, “Martin Weiss! What are you doing? Where are you taking me?”

“Since it’s time to eat, we’re going for a meal first,” said Martin Weiss before instructing the driver to drive.

As the car drove slowly away from the club, Kyla twisted her wrist to free herself from Martin Weiss’s grasp.

“If I hadn’t appeared today, were you going to accept my mother’s request and never appear before me again?” His voice rang nonchalantly in the car.

Kyla instantly stiffened. The car was filled with a sense of danger that made her hair stand on end.

It was as if she might not be able to afford the consequences if she gave the wrong answer.

Kyla was silent, unable to utter the word ‘yes’.

Martin Weiss suddenly leaned over, his face close to Kyla’s cheek. “Since you’ve appeared in front of me and insisted on disturbing me, it’s not up to you to decide if you’ll never see me again!”

Her heart trembled.

Sometime later, the car drove up to a restaurant. Martin Weiss got out with Kyla and entered a restaurant.

“Mr. Weiss.” A manager came forward. “Do you still wish to sit at your usual spot?”

“Yes,” Martin Weiss answered indifferently.

The manager then respectfully led the two people to a relatively quiet table with a screen on three sides.

Even though the head of the Weiss family had brought a pregnant woman here for a meal, the manager would not show the slightest curiosity to things he should not be curious about… despite secretly dying from curiosity!

Martin Weiss said to Kyla, “Order whatever you want. Also, the porridge here is pretty good. It’s easy to digest. You can order some.”

“I’ve never been here before. I don’t know what tastes good. Why don’t you order?” said Kyla.

Martin Weiss glanced at Kyla and ordered light-tasting foods. It was obvious he was taking Kyla’s pregnancy into account.

The dishes were soon served.

There was a plate of shrimp. Kyla was about to peel some, but he said, “Let me do it.”

With that said, he took over the plate of shrimps and began to peel the shells with his long fingers.

Kyla froze instantly. He used to peel shrimps for her back when they were dating. She was so happy at the time, thinking she was the happiest woman in the world because her boyfriend was so gentle and thoughtful.

However, she had no idea that his gentleness and thoughtfulness were only because he wanted to take revenge.

He wanted to take revenge for what her father did to the Weiss family. As he was gone, she had to stand in her father’s place and face Martin Weiss’s revenge.

What about now? Why was he peeling shrimps for her again?

He should not have feelings for her anymore. Besides, she had something to ask of him. What was his purpose in peeling the shrimps for her?

Once he finished peeling a shrimp, he put it into her bowl. Instead of eating it, she just stared blankly at the peeled shrimp.

“Are you not going to eat it?” His voice rang in her ears.

She pressed her lips together and took a deep breath. “Martin Weiss, are you trying to get back at me?”

His eyes narrowed as he glared at her.

“Aren’t you trying to get back at me because I ruthlessly chose to separate from you and trampled on your pride?” she looked up at him and said.

He asked grimly, “Do you think I’m trying to get back at you?”

“You have no feelings for me, but you’re peeling shrimps for me.” She smiled sadly. “Your gentleness makes me wonder if you want me to fall in love with you again so you can make me suffer the pain of unrequited love.”

His face was cold. “So?”

“If you want to get back at me, that’s fine. But I hope you’ll do it after the baby is safely born. Also, as your mother said, you can find other ways to convict Jacqueline Bowman later as long as you spare her for now. If you agree… you can get back at me however you want,” she said, ready to risk everything.

Martin Weiss sneered. “Kyla, you’re so conceited!”

He got up and walked away abruptly, leaving Kyla alone at the table as she looked at the table full of food.

She smiled ruefully. Perhaps everything she said now would be wrong.

Her chopsticks gently picked up the shrimp he had just peeled for her. She put it in her mouth. Why did she feel like crying when she was clearly eating something that should be delicious?

Martin Weiss was standing in front of the mirror at the bathroom sink. He looked at himself in the mirror.

It turned out his gentleness reminded her of revenge! However… even he could not explain why he peeled the shrimps for her.

It seemed like a natural thing to do. It was as if his body wanted to take care of her!

How poor and pathetic!

He had chosen to forget the relationship. He should not feel anything when she stood in front of him, but his body could not help itself sometimes.

He chuckled, but it sounded so bitter.

After the meal, Martin Weiss sent Kyla back to the hotel.

“Forget about making a deal with my mother. If I don’t want to spare Jacqueline Bowman, no one can persuade me otherwise,” Martin Weiss said indifferently.

“Then… if I keep begging you, will you say yes?” she asked, her dark eyes looking at him longingly and expectantly.

He pressed his thin lips together tightly without answering and left the hotel room.

Kyla’s eyes darkened. Perhaps it was the end of her L City trip. Perhaps she would not get any results!

Kyla could not sleep that night. Her thoughts were occupied with Amber Mitchell’s whereabouts.

Since it was a dead-end with Martin Weiss, she could only return to Emerald City and find other ways.

Besides, she was almost due for her check-up.

When Chase Harper called her the next day, she said, “Chase, about that… I don’t need you to help me take the pastries back anymore. I’m going back to Emerald City too.”

“Are you going to go back too? When?” asked Chase Harper.

“Probably in the next couple of days. I have to check the high-speed train schedule,” said Kyla.

“Why don’t you join me tomorrow? You’re pregnant. It’s safer to have someone look after you. There are still seats on the carriage I booked. I can just switch seats with someone else,” said Chase Harper.

Kyla thought about it and agreed. After all, she should be careful now that she was pregnant. It was better to have someone she knew look out for her.

Therefore, Kyla asked Chase Harper about his train ride and carriage before booking a ticket back to Emerald City tomorrow on her phone.

Then, she called Mallory Malcom. “Mallory, I’ll be returning to Emerald City tomorrow. Please help me check out of the hotel.”

Mallory Malcom froze. “Tomorrow?”

“Yes, tomorrow. There’s no point in staying here any longer. I might as well return sooner. Thank you for all the help these days,” she said politely.

Once she ended the call, she let out a little sigh.

Perhaps it would be hard for her to meet Martin Weiss again after her departure. Maybe when she did get a chance to see him again. years from now, he would already have someone new by his side.

The thought of it made her feel a clenching pain in her heart.

She tried hard to suppress the heartache and told herself that she had made this choice. She did it in hopes that he could live a good life and not risk his life for her.

‘He has now forgotten this relationship and no longer loves me. Is it not the best outcome?

‘He’ll live a good life, so what do I have to regret?’

‘I have nothing to regret!’ she said to herself.

Mallory Malcom came to Martin Weiss’s office and said, “Chairman Weiss, Miss Corbyn will return to Emerald City tomorrow.”

Martin Weiss’s hand jerked when he was reading the documents. He looked up at Mallory Malcom.

“She’s returning to Emerald City?”

“Yes, Miss Corbyn just called and told me about it. She has already booked a ticket back,” replied Mallory Malcom.

Martin Weiss’s face was cold as his fingers gripped the pen.

‘She’s… going back?

‘So, has she given up begging me? Is she leaving my world so readily?’

She disturbed his already peaceful mind when she came.

Now that she had messed him up, she was leaving?

‘Kyla… Why can’t I shut her out of my mind?’

His mind flashed back to the conversation he had with the hypnotist.

“Can hypnosis make me forget my feelings for that person?

“In principle, yes. As long as no one says the ‘code word’ you’ve chosen, it’s impossible to recover your feelings. Unless you fall in love with her again.”

“Is it true that only the code word can recover the memories? As long as I don’t fall in love with her again and no one says the code. word, I’ll be indifferent to her?”

“There’s another exception, which is if you love her too deeply.

In that case, there’s a small chance your mind will dehypnotize itself. But the chances are so small that you have nothing to worry about.”

‘Nothing to worry about… But why do I feel faintly uneasy?’

Even though his feelings for her had not recovered, he kept thinking about her.

What magic did that woman Kyla have that she could still have some influence on him?
