“Okay,” he hoarsely agreed, “if you want to see it, then I’ll dance for you.”
His dance, he only performs for her, and only she can watch!
“Really?” Her eyes suddenly became brighter. “You’re really willing to dance for me to see?”
“Yes, I am willing to dance for you to see,” he said.
She stumbled towards the sofa and sat down, wanting to watch him dance.
He smiled helplessly and gestured for her to sit down. Then he loosened his tie and unbuttoned the top few buttons of his shirt, undoing the cufflinks on his sleeves before starting to dance.
Perhaps only he can make a woman dance like this.
All he’s doing now is trying to please the woman he’s fallen in love with!
Pleasing her, that’s all he wants to do!
Brian is jumping around, while Valda holds her chin in her hands, watching him in fascination.
Her lips curl up into a smile, feeling surrounded by happiness.
She truly feels happy now…
When Kyla and Martin returned to their residence, Kyla’s mother had already gone to sleep with their daughter Trista, and Nelson had fallen asleep in the car when he returned. So Martin carried their son directly into his bedroom.
Martin put Nelson on the bed, and Kyla carefully covered him with a blanket before leaving the room with Martin.
“Well, we’re tired tonight. You should wash up and go to bed early,” Martin said.
“What about you?” Kyla asked.
“I’m going to the study. There are some work-related matters I need to attend to,” he said, and then walked towards the study.
Kyla watched Martin’s back and unconsciously bit her lip.
In the study, Martin wasn’t dealing with any official business.
Instead, he was staring absentmindedly at a blank sheet of paper in front of him.
Several times, he picked up a pen, wanting to write down his thoughts, but he couldn’t seem to put the pen to paper.
Should I write it?
Should I tell her the code to release him from hypnosis?
Once, when he was deciding between hypnosis and his relationship with her, he thought that maybe for the rest of his life, he wouldn’t have any connection with her except for their child.
But who would have known that after going round and round, the two ended up being together in this way, reluctantly.
Now they are only together because of some negative news that caused fluctuations in the group’s stock price and affected the group’s image, so they temporarily live together.
However, this “temporary” does not currently have a specific time limit.
He and Kyla both tacitly avoided bringing up the topic of when they would part ways, as if they had formed an unspoken agreement.
If we could stay here like this forever, it wouldn’t be so bad.
Although he lost that past relationship, he knows very clearly that he really wanted to live with her at that time.
And now, finally achieving it, but then becoming afraid.
I’m afraid that this happy time will be too short. I’m afraid that she might unintentionally say something that could cause trouble between them.
Sometimes, he even secretly mocked himself, wondering why he had made the secret language setting related to her in the first place.
The phrase that will release him from hypnosis must be spoken by her own mouth in order to be effective!
At that time, he probably wanted to hear her say those words, but now he’s afraid she’ll say them and disrupt their peaceful life.
Suddenly, his phone rang and he picked it up to see that it was his mother calling.
“Mom, what’s up?” He answered the phone and spoke.
“You haven’t slept yet?” The voice of old Mrs. Weiss came from the other end of the phone.
“No, not yet,” he said.
“Are you planning to settle down in Emerald City? You’ve been staying there and not planning to come back?” old Mrs. Weiss asked.
“You and Kyla are not suitable for each other. I’ve been watching you two struggle for so many years, and I feel tired. Kyla’s two children can be recognized by the Weiss family and can be listed on the Weiss family’s genealogy, but I hope you can come back.
Before, you lived together for the image of the group, but now that the storm has passed for a long time, you can come back first, spend some time, and then formally divorce Kyla and issue a divorce statement. In the future, whatever kind of lady you want,
Mom will find for you.” old Mrs. Weiss said.
When he heard the word “divorce,” Martin suddenly shook.
Divorce…yes, he and Kyla almost got divorced before. Kyla’s signed divorce agreement was still with him. As long as he signed it, it would take effect.
But he didn’t go and sign that word.
Because at that time – he didn’t want to get divorced!
“Mum, I won’t divorce Kyla,” Martin said.
“What do you mean?” The old Mrs. Weiss on the other end of the phone was surprised. “You’re not getting a divorce from Kyla, are you planning to spend the rest of your life with her?”
“Mum, I was supposed to spend my whole life with her. It’s just that too many things have happened between us, causing so many twists and turns. Half of my life has passed, and I don’t think
I can find another woman who loves me like she does,” Martin said.
The old Mrs. Weiss was silent for a while before saying, “What about Kyla? Does she really want to be with you? Don’t forget, she signed the divorce agreement!”
“I know she signed the divorce agreement, but I… don’t want to let go,” Martin murmured. “Mum, if you want me to be happy in the future, then I hope she won’t leave me. No matter what happens, I won’t leave her.”
The old Mrs. Weiss didn’t reply for a while before saying, “I can’t control your affairs anymore, and I won’t interfere with you and her. Anyway, you’re my son, and as a mother, I just hope you can live a good life.”
The old Mrs. Weiss’s voice was filled with exhaustion.
She had complicated feelings towards Kyla, after so many years of right and wrong, it was already unclear.
But if her son was really destined to be with Kyla, then even if she was unwilling, she would still accept it.
After all, she didn’t want her only son to live in pain!
“Thank you, Mom,” said Martin.
After ending the call, he finally picked up a pen and wrote a line on a blank piece of paper. He carefully folded the paper and stayed in the study for a long time before finally leaving.
When he returned to the bedroom, he found the light on and Kyla still awake, sitting on the bed and scrolling through her phone.
“Have you finished your work?” Kyla lifted her head and looked towards Martin as if she had heard footsteps.
“Ah, I’m done. What about you? What are you watching?” he approached and asked.
“I’m looking at some photos taken tonight, it’s been a long time since so many people gathered together like this,” Kyla said with a smile. “When our children are a little older, we can probably form a soccer team with all of them if we bring them all together like this.”
He couldn’t help but be a little distracted by the smile that appeared on her lips. In his memory, she rarely smiled so effortlessly and naturally.
It seems that between them, since he misunderstood her and caused her to be imprisoned years ago, she rarely relaxes and laughs so naturally in front of him.
Martin approached and looked at the photos on Kyla’s phone screen that were taken at today’s gathering. These photos were indeed very heartwarming.
And she said that when the children are a little older… does that mean she still wants to be with him?
“Kyla, do you feel good about your life now?” Martin asked abruptly.
Kyla’s body tensed slightly, and she looked up at Martin, seemingly contemplating the meaning behind his words.
“We all know that our current way of life is a result of your desire to prevent the company from suffering losses due to our marriage.
Therefore, we have to maintain a false image of a loving couple in front of others. But… do you intend to continue living like this indefinitely? Or have you been thinking about when it will end?”
He almost had to gather all his courage to ask this question.
Kyla stared at the man in front of her, and tonight he brought up a question that they had both silently avoided until now.
“So what about you? What do you think?” she replied with a question instead of an answer.
Martin pursed his thin lips and said, “I think living like this is also good.”
“Since it’s good, then…” she paused and said, “let’s just leave it at that for now.”
“So you also feel that we may not be able to live like this forever, right?” he said.
She remained silent, but her expression confirmed that he had guessed correctly.
Martin combed his hair with his fingers, let out a bitter smile. He realized that he wasn’t the only one who felt this way, Kyla felt the same. “Kyla, I used to think that I could never live a peaceful life like yours, but reality has shown me that it’s possible.”
“What’s wrong with you? What do you want to say?” asked Kyla.
“I want to ask you, if I want to live like this with you forever, would you be willing?” He stared at her and asked.
She paused, with a hint of surprise in her eyes, “Forever?”
“Yes, until one of us reaches the end of our life and leaves this world, we will be together. Are you willing?” he asked, with a serious expression.
She was stunned, then became a little flustered, “Why…why are you suddenly bringing this up?”
“Is it sudden?” He chuckled self-deprecatingly. “Actually, it’s not sudden at all. I’ve thought about this question a thousand times.
in my mind, and I’ve also thought about countless answers you might give me. It’s just that tonight, I suddenly wanted to ask it.”
After pausing for a moment, he continued, “Kyla, I want to know your true thoughts, without any other factors, only based on your own heart. Do you…want to be with me, Martin, from now on and always?”
When he asked this question, there was a hint of nervousness in his voice.
Yes, he is nervous, nervous about what her answer will be.
Kyla remained silent, slowly lowering her head, as if thinking about something.
