When they were dating, she said she would cook for him and they would have their meals together after they got married.
If they could not continue their marriage, at least she could realize her dream.
After busying herself for an hour, Kyla prepared a table of food.
These days, Martin Weiss’s meals were brought to the study by the servant. He had been eating alone.
Hence, the servant was going to take a helping of each dish to bring upstairs. Kyla stopped them and said, “I’ll ask Martin to come down and eat.”
With a troubled look, the servant said, “But Mr. Weiss ordered…”
Kyla interrupted, “We have to try to find out. If he still won’t come down to eat, you can take a helping of each dish and bring the food upstairs.”
“Okay,” the servant answered.
Kyla walked up the stairs and headed toward the study.
When she reached the study door, she looked at the closed door and took a deep breath. She wondered how he would treat her.
Indifferently or…
Raising her hand, she knocked on the door before gently pushing it open.
In the study, Shana Nicholls was waiting on Martin Weiss and helping him take his medicine. Some needed to be taken before meals.
However, Shana Nicholls frowned when she saw Kyla entering the study. “Why are you here?”
“Why can’t it be me? Nurse Ruan, do I need your permission to see Martin in the study?” Kyla asked in reply.
Shana Nicholls’s expression changed slightly. Out of the corners of her eyes, she glanced at Martin Weiss’s expressionless face before replying, “Of course not. It’s just that a servant would normally be serving food at this time.” Kyla walked up to Martin Weiss. “I made today’s dinner. Can you come down and eat with me?”
“That’s unnecessary,” Martin Weiss said coldly.
Kyla only felt as if she had been stung in the heart. “We’re still married. I only want to have a meal with you. Think of it as fulfilling one of my wishes, okay?”
The pleading tone made Martin Weiss hesitate. However, he recalled how he had gone down on his knees and begged her for another chance, but she had heartlessly refused him. He instantly rejected and said, “You want me to fulfill your wish? But have you ever fulfilled my wish, Kyla? Don’t ever tell me such a ridiculous thing again.”
She turned pale instantly.
“You don’t have to ask the servants to serve the food. Your cooking might not be to my taste,” he said before instructing Shana Nicholls, “Manlo, ask the cook to cook me another meal and bring it upstairs later.”
“Yes, Mr. Weiss,” Shana Nicholls replied with a burst of joy. Mr.
Weiss would not dine with Kyla or even eat her cooking. It seemed that she need not worry too much about Mr. Weiss having feelings for his wife.
Shana Nicholls hurried out of the study and down the stairs.
Martin Weiss looked coldly at Kyla. “What’s the matter? What are you still doing standing here?”
“Do you… hate me so much that you won’t even have a meal with me?” Kyla asked in a mutter. Her eyes felt so sore that she wanted to cry, but she was seemingly unable to.
Maybe… she did not want to cry in front of him. This man’s greatest concern back when he loved her was her tears.
He said her tears were a weapon that could hurt him. She was now unwilling to hurt him even if he did not love her anymore!
Martin Weiss said, “I just find it irritating and want to end our relationship as soon as possible. We both know that our marriage has no meaning now. Don’t you feel exhausted continuing to pretend to be a family?”
She broke into a chuckle. ‘Pretending to be a family… So he thinks we’re only pretending to be a family. ‘Does my persistence still matter?
Even only three months irritated him.
After taking a deep breath, Kyla said to Martin Weiss, “So, will you pretend to be a family with me one last time?”
“What do you mean?” He narrowed his eyes.
“Just play pretend. We’ll spend a day like an ordinary married couple. I’ll set the itinerary. After the day ends, I’ll sign the divorce papers and head back to Emerald City. We’ll have nothing to do with each other, just like you hope. If the kids miss you, or vice versa, I won’t get in the way. You can meet anytime, but I’ll never appear in front of you again.”
– She spoke with a calm expression on her face.
However, he became irritable because of what she said. “Why should I spend a day playing pretend with you?”
“That way, you can get rid of me faster. We have 25 days left in our agreed three-month period, but you’ll only need to spend a day with me to get rid of me,” she said.
“He pressed his thin lips together tightly as his dark eyes glared darkly at her.
Kyla said, “But don’t worry. I’m aware of your physical condition, and I’ll try to arrange a more laid-back itinerary so as not to strain you too much. What about you? Do you want to be annoyed for 25 days or just one more day?”
Martin Weiss pondered for a moment before finally saying, “One day, then. Sign the divorce papers one day later!”
“Okay! Then come downstairs at eight in the morning tomorrow and have breakfast with me. You’ll have to do whatever I say for the rest of the day,” said Kyla.
“Okay,” answered Martin Weiss. Kyla left the study while Martin Weiss raised his hands and rubbed his temples a little tiredly. She would no longer constantly appear in front of him the day after tomorrow.
He would stop feeling flustered and have peace as long as he stopped seeing her.
Kyla walked downstairs just in time to see Shana Nicholls ready to go upstairs with his food.
Shana Nicholls taunted, “Mrs. Weiss, I advise you to not waste your time anymore. Even if you’ve cooked a table of food, Mr. Weiss won’t eat it. Why waste your time and energy like this?”
Kyla said, “You don’t have to worry about that. Also, please tell me the instructions for Martin’s pills tomorrow morning. I’ll be taking care of Martin’s schedule tomorrow. You can take a day off tomorrow.”
Shana Nicholls was shocked. “No way. I’m Mr. Weiss’s nurse. I should be by Mr. Weiss’s side every day to take care of his health.”
“You can ask him if you don’t believe me,” said Kyla.
Shana Nicholls pursed her red lips, said nothing more, and went upstairs. Kyla sat at the large dining table and began to eat the dinner she had meticulously prepared.
“I would have cooked all this food tomorrow if I had known. He… He’ll probably eat it if I cook another table of food tomorrow,” she muttered to herself.
Kyla looked at Martin Weiss and said, “Let’s have breakfast first. After that, you’ll take your medicine and we’ll go out.”
Martin Weiss said nothing to her and just told the servant to serve breakfast.
The servant looked surprised to see their master having breakfast with the mistress but dared not ask any questions.
Breakfast was served. Kyla and Martin Weiss ate it together. Martin Weiss took a glimpse of Kyla out of the corners of his eyes. She seemed a little different than usual today.
‘Is it because she let her hair down?’
Kyla was the first to finish her breakfast. Martin Weiss was still eating when she finished, so she looked at him and told him today’s itinerary. “We’re going to Moon Lake later. We’ll have lunch somewhere around there before watching a movie. After the movie, we’ll go shopping at the mall nearby and come home for dinner.”
“That’s it?” He narrowed his eyes. He was surprised that the itinerary she arranged was… much simpler than he thought.
It was like a normal couple’s day out.
Kyla smiled and said, “Yes, that’s it. Of course, I’ll stay with you until midnight after we get home. You’ll be free once the clock strikes 12.”
He found the word ‘free’ somewhat irritating.
After Martin Weiss took his breakfast and medicine, Kyla and Martin Weiss left the mansion for Moon Lake.
They often came to Moon Lake back when they were dating. Moon Lake was also a famous spot among many lovers, so it was nicknamed Lover’s Lake in L City.
There were indeed many couples at Moon Lake. Kyla and Martin Weiss got out of the car and walked down the boulevard.
Kyla suddenly reached out and took Martin Weiss’s hand.
He stiffened instantly. “What are you doing?”
“Holding your hand. Before we got married, we used to hold hands when we came here, didn’t we?
Since we’re married now, isn’t it natural for us to hold hands? Today, I want us to be a regular married couple,” Kyla said slowly.
