She took a deep breath once she walked into the rental house and sat on the chair with her legs feeling a little weak.
There was a red mark on her wrist. Back in the car, he had only loosened his fingers when she cried out in pain.
Then, he lowered his head and kissed the red mark on her wrist. “Don’t make me mad, alright? I’m afraid I might hurt you if I get mad.”
His gentle mutters were so sweet.
However, he had been the one who hurt her the most! She wanted to stay
The red mark on her wrist was so hot that it seemed to burn up anytime soon.
As soon as she closed her eyes, she could not get over the image of him kissing the red mark!
Three days later, Kyla Corbyn got up early in the morning and looked at her son who was still sleeping. Her eyes could not help turning gentle at the sight of him.
‘It’s great that I get to watch him grow up by my side!’
She was glad that she had not aborted the child but persevered and gave birth to him. It was the most difficult and painful time for her, but… it was worth it!
Mrs. Corbyn saw her daughter’s gentle gaze at her grandson when she entered the room and whispered, “Yun, we’ve packed up everything. We’re taking the high-speed train this afternoon. Why don’t you get some more sleep?”
“I can’t sleep.” Kyla Corbyn shook her head. “The moving company’s coming for our stuff soon. I have to get ready.”
“I’m worried about restarting the business once we move to G City!” Mrs.
Corbyn said worriedly. After all, they had to sell the small restaurant when it finally had a steady customer flow. Mrs. Corbyn was distressed over it.
“Since we did a pretty good job with the small restaurant in Emerald City, then the same applies to G City. Don’t worry,
Mom. I’ll make sure you and Nelson can lead a good life,” said Kyla Corbyn.
Mrs. Corbyn looked at her daughter sadly. “I just want you to be safe!”
“I’ll be safe. Our family will be safe.” Kyla Corbyn took her mother’s hand. ‘I want to leave Emerald City for G City precisely for our safety!’
People were toasting and mingling with each other in the fancy banquet hall.
Martin Weiss had attended many parties like this. They would announce his marriage to Paisley Daniels tonight.
Previously, they had only revealed their status as a couple.
Once they announced the official wedding date, then the wedding was a done deal.
A figure slowly walked down the stairs from the second floor, immediately attracting the attention of everyone there.
Paisley Daniels wore a white gown with expensive diamond jewelry. Her delicate makeup and charming face made her look like the leading star in films.
She was indeed the leading star today.
Many people present knew that the Weiss family and the Daniels family would announce the wedding date at the party today.
Martin Weiss fell into a trance as he looked at Paisley Daniels who was walking toward him.
‘Am I going to marry this woman? Am I going to spend a lifetime with this woman? Will I regret it?’
His heart felt empty, and he felt as if he had lost something.
“Martin!” Paisley Daniels’s voice woke him from his trance and he realized that she had stretched her hand toward him, but he had not taken it.
Recollecting himself, he took her hand.
‘I won’t regret it! I’m able to stand here because Paisley saved me. Paisley gave me a second chance in life.’
When he survived, he told himself that he would make this woman happy forever!
He already owed Paisley a lot because of
Kyla Corbyn.
‘Kyla Corbyn…’ The thought of that face made him out of breath again.
Paisley Daniels smiled sweetly before leaning close to Martin Weiss and asking in a whisper, “What were you thinking about just now?”
“Nothing. I was just thinking about work,”
he said.
“My father asked you to announce the wedding date. This way, it’ll show you’re sincere,” said Paisley Daniels.
“Alright,” replied Martin Weiss.
He would do whatever she wanted him to do.
“Then we’ll lead the first dance when it’s time,” added Paisley Daniels.
“Okay,” responded Martin Weiss. Suddenly, the phone rang. He picked up the phone, frowned at the caller ID, and said to Paisley Daniels, “I’m going to take this call. I’ll be back soon.’
With that, he walked to a secluded corner of the banquet hall and answered the phone.
It was the contact number of the man he sent to Emerald City to keep an eye on
Kyla Corbyn.
He probably called at this time because something was going on with Kyla
Corbyn.
However, once he answered the phone, his expression changed abruptly.
Martin Weiss only heard him say, “President Weiss, Kyla Corbyn is leaving
Emerald City. She bought the train ticket for 3.45 PM and…”
“What?”
“She’s not alone,” he said.
Martin Weiss was a little confused. ‘Not alone? What does he mean? I remember that she has a mother who disappeared with her when she got out of prison.
‘Is she with her mother?’
“She has a son.” What he said next was so shocking that he could barely hold the phone in his hand.
“What did you say?” His voice could no longer hold its composure.
“She has a son who looks like he’s about three or four years old,” he said.
‘Son? She has a son?’
Martin Weiss just felt his mind go blank.
“President Weiss, do you want me to stop them or let them leave Emerald City?” he asked. After all, once he let them leave
Emerald City, it would take a lot of effort to find out their whereabouts again.
Just then, the lights in the banquet hall slowly dimmed as the music began to play. Paisley Daniels went to Martin Weiss’s side, trying to get him to finish the call and lead the first dance with her.
She had specially arranged for the reporters to take pictures of them dancing together to show off online.
As soon as they announced the wedding date, those netizens who once said that she endured so many years without marrying into the Weiss family could finally be shut up!
However, before she could speak, she heard him say to the other end of the line, “Stop them! Don’t let them go! I’ll be right there!”
With that, the man who was supposed to lead the first dance with her rushed straight to the exit of the banquet hall.
“Martin!” she shouted, lifting the skirt of her gown to catch up to him.
However, she could not run fast with her high heels on. In the blink of an eye,
Martin Weiss had rushed out of the banquet hall, leaving Paisley Daniels behind with all the guests’ eyes on her.
Paisley Daniels could only feel her face burning!
She should be at her best today, but now, it was her worst.
The reporters she invited were desperately trying to capture the way she looked at her worst.
Paisley Daniels’s parents had now rushed to their daughter’s side, urgently asking, “Paisley, what’s going on? Why did Martin leave?”
“I… I don’t know,” Paisley Daniels said awkwardly. ‘Who on earth was that phone call from? Who is Martin going to stop?
‘Who… exactly was he referring to?’
“What do we do? Does… Martin not want to marry Paisley? Is that why he left?”
Mrs. Daniels said anxiously.
After all, the Daniels family was originally just the owner of a third-rate small company, but it got into high society because of the Weiss family’s help all these years.
Who did not know that the Daniels family depended on the Weiss family?
Many people even secretly compared the Daniels family to a parasite that fed off the Weiss family.
If the Weiss family and the Daniels family failed to a**ociate themselves through this marriage, then the Daniels family would go back to square one.
