When Kyla got out of the bathroom in the evening, she saw Martin Weiss standing beside the bed. He was staring at the suitcase that she had almost finished packing.
She was startled. “W-Why are you here?”
“Mallory Malcom said you’re returning to Emerald City,” he said as he looked at her in a bathrobe.
“Yeah,” she answered. His sudden appearance left her at a loss.
“Are you going back so soon? Are you going to stop begging me?” he said with a half-smile.
She said, “You won’t say yes even if I keep asking you, will you? Since nothing will come of it, I might as well go back and think of something else.”
“How straightforward! You come and go as you please!” Martin Weiss snorted coldly.
She only spoke indifferently, “Mr. Weiss, I’ll continue packing now. I wish to rest early. If there’s nothing I can do for you, please leave.”
She said as she continued to fold the clothes that had not been folded.
He suddenly took her arm and said coldly, “What if I have something you can do?”
“Okay, then. What do you want?” Her tone was distant and polite as if she was distancing herself from
him again.
Martin Weiss frowned. He did not like her using this distant tone with him.
“What solution can you think of when you go back to Emerald City? Believe it or not, if I say I want Jacqueline Bowman to stay in prison for the rest of her life, she’ll have to stay there. No one can let her out!” he snarled.
With a bitter smile, she looked at him and said, “I believe you. If there’s no way I can get Jacqueline Bowman out on probation, I’ll just have to find another way to find Amber Mitchell!”
She had no idea how she would do that, though.
“What does Amber Mitchell mean to you?” he asked.
“She’s someone I’ll always hold dear in my heart and someone l want to see again. I want to find out if she’s okay. I’ll be filled with joy if she’s okay, and I want to do everything I can to help her if she’s not!”
she said sternly.
‘What about me? What am I to her?’
He almost asked those questions, but the words got stuck in his throat. Ultimately… he only said, “Kyla, never appear before me again if you really leave tMason Swansonty this time. Otherwise, it’s not going to be easy for anyone.”
Her breathing paused for a short while. His words made her feel as if she had been stabbed in the heart, and it could not help but bleed.
It was so painful and hurt so much.
It turned out that a person’s words could hurt so much.
However, she was the one who put him in this position, was she not? Had it not been for her decision, he would not have chosen to forget his feelings with hypnosis.
Therefore, perhaps what went around came around.
She deserved all these!
Kyla tried her best to speak calmly, “I see. Okay, I’ll never show up in front of you again from now on. I won’t disturb your peace again either. Let’s never… speak to each other again. I’ll keep my word this time.”
His face was frigid as he stared at her darkly. The hands dangling at his sides clenched into fists.
Only he knew how stiff his body became when he heard her say that. Even his blood seemed to have frozen.
‘Never… speak to each other again!
‘This woman never changes. She’ll only tell me the most hurtful things!’
“Very well! You’d better remember what you said today!” Martin Weiss said and left the hotel room without looking back.
The rage that filled his chest almost overwhelmed him.
Even he could not explain why he was so angry.
The woman had disturbed his peace and was now leaving so readily!
When Martin Weiss returned to Weiss Residence, Mrs. Weiss was at home. When she saw her son, she immediately came up to him. and said, “Martin, I want to talk to you.”
Martin Weiss said, “Mom, if you want to talk about Kyla, don’t bother! She’s leaving for Emerald City tomorrow.”
Mrs. Weiss froze. “Is she returning to Emerald City?”
“What do you think? Isn’t it natural for her to leave and return to Emerald City since there’s no way I’ll agree to her request?”
“Return to Emerald City… Return to Emerald City…” Mrs. Weiss muttered before finally heaving a long sigh. “It’s great that she’s returning to Emerald City. That way, she won’t have any more influence on you.”
Martin Weiss said nothing and walked toward the stairs.
Mrs. Weiss shouted, “Stop thinking about Kyla. You can have any woman you want. I don’t care whether you find an heiress or a girl without any family background. I just hope you’ll stop obsessing over Kyla.”
Martin Weiss stopped walking. “Mom, I don’t want to talk about this now. I’ll find someone when I want someone. If I don’t want someone, then…”
He did not finish the rest of his speech and just went up the stairs.
Mrs. Weiss’s heart sank.
‘If he doesn’t want someone, is he… going to spend the rest of his life alone?’
“Karma… It’s really karma…” Mrs. Weiss sat down on the couch as she mumbled in a choked voice…
Since her son said such a thing, it meant… he never got over her, right?
Kyla’s high-speed train was scheduled to depart at three p.m., so she checked out of her hotel room at noon and met up with Chase Harper.
“Why don’t I help you with your suitcase? You’re pregnant, so be careful. You gotta pay attention when you enter the train station too.” Chase Harper reminded her.
“Thank you,” said Kyla. She did not refuse his offer.
They had lunch at a nearby cafe, then took a taxi to the train station.
The car stopped at the train station’s entrance, and the two got off. Chase Harper took the suitcase while Kyla walked beside him. The two of them looked like a married couple.
A black car was parked nearby, and the person in it was staring silently at Kyla and Chase Harper, who were getting out of a taxi.
A low air pressure filled the car.
Mallory Malcom, who was sitting in front, was terrified. ‘Miss… Miss… Miss Corbyn is with another man! Chairman Weiss even caught them together!’
Martin Weiss pressed his thin lips together tightly.
He came here to see her one last time before she left.
Perhaps it was him saying goodbye to his past relationship or whatever. He just… wanted to see her.
Before making this decision, he kept telling himself he would
banish her from his heart once and for all after seeing her one last time!
However, he did not expect to see this!
She… was with Chase Harper. She was going back to Emerald City with Chase Harper!
A wave of jealousy spread in Martin Weiss’s heart.
Kyla suddenly stopped walking and swayed toward Chase Harper.
Chase Harper hurriedly caught Kyla. “What’s the matter?
“I just went limp suddenly. It sometimes happens ever since I got pregnant,” said Kyla.
“Is it because of calcium deficiency? I heard the doctor say it’s easy to suffer calcium deficiency during pregnancy. You’ll sometimes go limp when you have calcium deficiency,” said Chase Harper. After all, he previously paid a lot of attention to his ex-wife when she was pregnant.
“Yes, it must be. It never happened before this. It only happened recently,” said Kyla.
“Let’s find a place to rest first. Let’s sit for a while. It’s still early anyway,” said Chase Harper. For fear that Kyla would go limp and fall, he continued to hold her.
However, when the two turned around to head for the rest area, they saw a figure standing not far away.
Kyla stiffened immediately.
‘Martin Weiss!
‘What… What is he doing here?’
Martin Weiss’s face was frigid as he went up to Kyla and Chase Harper. “I didn’t expect you two to be here together. What’s the matter? Are you planning to go back to Emerald City together?”
Kyla bit her lip slightly and said nothing. She somehow sensed an air of danger coming from Martin Weiss.
Seeing the silence, Chase Harper smiled and said, “Yeah, Mr.
Weiss. Kyla and I are going back to Emerald City together. We can look after each other during our journey this way.”
“Look after each other?” Martin Weiss snorted coldly. “I wonder how you’re going to look after her during your journey.”
Chase Harper froze. Even though he was a simple and honest man, he could still gauge that something was wrong from Martin Weiss’s words.
Kyla frowned and said, “Martin Weiss, what are you trying to do? Didn’t you ask me to never appear before you again? Why did you appear here, then?”
“Yeah, why did I appear here?” He burst into a self-deprecating laugh, and there was a tinge of anger in it. He was mad that he could not help coming to the train station even though he had forgotten their relationship through hypnosis!
He was mad at himself for still being under the woman’s influence. It was as if she still had control over his emotions.
“Kyla, are you and Chase Harper really just friends? He called you ‘Kyla’ so intimately just now.” Martin Weiss was overcome with anger. “But don’t forget you’re still my wife. If you’re hooking up with him, it’s adulter-”
Slap!
She slapped him hard in the face and interrupted his words.
“Stop… it, Martin Weiss. Stop it if you ever loved me!” She sobbed as her dark eyes became teary.
He froze, his throat feeling like there was something that weighed a thousand pounds stuck inside.
He did not finish his sentence and just said, “If you don’t want any harm to befall him, you’d better stay away from him!”
