“Of course, you can. It’s just riding my shoulders. Just tell me whenever you want to ride on my shoulders.”
In his opinion, it was stupid to have a child ride on hist shoulders, but he just could not refuse the little one’s request. The little one’s eyes lit up immediately, and a smile appeared on his face again. Kyla Corbyn was also relieved that Martin Weiss did not reject Nelson. However, when her eyes inadvertently swept over Martin Weiss, she immediately met his eyes.
He was looking at her! In the car, the little one talked about what happened in the kindergarten today while the two adults stared at each other. The car drove to Kyla Corbyn’s current rental house, and the three of them got off. Martin Weiss lifted Nelson up as promised and let the little one ride on his shoulders. The little one shouted excitedly. Kyla Corbyn looked at the scene in front of her.
She knew her son was truly happy! Nelson was shy and would not even. talk to the people around him most of the time.
He was more active when he was with people close to him. However, he was rarely so excited now! Although Martin Weiss… was dressed in a crisp suit and had a serious expression on his face, there was a touch of gentleness in his eyes.
He would respond to Nelson’s excitement and go left or right as the little one instructed. How could anyone have guessed that Weiss Group’s. president, who was usually known for his seriousness, would have this side of him too? Kyla Corbyn’s nose suddenly felt a little sore. ‘Is this the nature. of a father and son? Even though they’ve just met and even though Martin Weiss wasn’t a part of Nelson’s life for the past four years, Nelson doesn’t seem to see him as a stranger and accepted him easily:” Was this the nature of blood ties? After a long while, Kyla Corbyn finally said, “Alright, Nelson, we’re going home. Grandma’s still waiting at home!” The little one was reluctant to get off Martin Weiss. When Martin Weiss handed the little one back to Kyla Corbyn, the gentleness on his face turned into indifference. Kyla Corbyn smiled wryly. All he had left for her was. indifference, but it did not matter as her feelings for him had also died out. It would be great for him to leave a bit of his gentleness to Nelson. Kyla Corbyn led her son into the neighborhood.. The little one looked back at Martin Weiss from time to time when they entered the neighborhood.
“Mommy, is Daddy not living with us?” asked the little one. The parents of the kids at the kindergarten lived together.
“Yeah, because… Daddy and I have been separated for a long time, so… we won’t be living together,” said Kyla Corbyn as she rubbed her son’s small head.
However, the little one suddenly blurted out, “Did Mommy and Daddy get a divorce?” Kyla Corbyn was dumbstruck.
“Divorce?”
“Lil Kai, who’s in my cla**, has divorced parents.
He lives with mother.
He says his father visits him every week,” said the little one.
Facing her son’s serious inquiring eyes, Kyla Corbyn could only. answer vaguely. After all, what should she tell her son? She and his father did not even get married. Nelson was only a b*stard child, not even a child born in wedlock. However, the truth was so cruel that she could not tell him no matter what. Fortunately, Nelson did not ask any more questions. Back at their house, Kyla Corbyn handed Nelson over to her mother, packed up the things needed for her stall, and left with her stall cart.
Her thin body started the motorcycle and the three-wheeled stall cart chugged along, its contents swaying in the cart.
She did not notice that not far away, Martin Weiss was in the car that had not left yet.
He looked at her through the car. window… Grace could not sleep at night, Maybe it was because of the Splashes of Blood Jason talked about in the day that she could not help thinking about the Reed family’s ancestor and the woman imprisoned here. Originally, she thought it was just a love story about a woman. who forgot about her old lover and fell in love with another man. Was it not only a story about betrayal and love? However, after hearing the end of the story, she felt differently.
‘Did the woman fall in love and kill the man she loved because… she couldn’t accept it?
‘She couldn’t accept that she had a change of heart and even fell in love with the man who imprisoned her?
‘However, what about afterward? What happened to the woman after she left? Did she go and live with the man she originally loved?
‘Or did she live alone?’
Somehow, she wondered how the story would go next. Strangely enough, she was well past the age of curiosity but she was still curious about the woman Jason mentioned.
‘Is it because… I’m also being imprisoned in the same mansion?’
Grace got out of bed, went to the window, and opened the curtains.
She could see the pond in the yard from her window. The pond of lotus flowers was stunning even at night. However, to her surprise, a figure was standing on the edge of the pond and was seemingly looking at the lotus flowers. The cold moonlight fell on Jason’s body, and the place looked utterly silent.
Grace looked at the time. It was already past 1 AM. ‘Why… is he still standing there?’ She should have drawn the curtains and stopped looking at him, but she kept on staring at him. Suddenly, as if feeling her stare, he slowly turned sideways and looked in her direction. Their eyes met immediately.
She could see his face clearly in the moonlight. The silvery moonlight seemed to soften his delicate facial features and made him feel less indifferent and intense than in the day.
He now looked more elegant and quiet. A few wisps of his bangs fell over his full forehead. What laid under his beautiful straight eyebrows were those deep eyes, straight nose bridge, and slightly thin lips.
He stood as still as a statue, just looking at her.
Grace could only feel her heart beating faster and faster, making her heart flutter!
‘Stop looking! Stop looking at him!”
She told herself desperately, and with almost all her might, she drew the curtains before laying back in bed to calm herself down. With the lights on, Grace closed her eyes and put herself to sleep. Sometime later, she seemed to hear the rhythm of the falling rain while in a daze.
‘Is it raining outside? Have I… fallen asleep?”
Grace sat up and looked at the time. It was past 3 AM. For some reason, she threw back the covers, got out of bed, and went to the window.
She pulled the curtains open again and looked out. Even Grace herself could not quite explain why she was doing. this. ‘Am I doing this to see if Jason is still out there? It’s so late. now.
He should have gone back to his room by now! It was only when she looked out of the window that she saw that the tall figure was still standing on the edge of the lotus pond!
‘He’s… still there!’
Grace was instantly stunned. Besides… His posture was the same as before she drew the curtain.
He was still standing there with his chin up, looking in her direction! Grace suddenly had an indescribable feeling, and she rushed out of the room. Not knowing where to find an umbrella, Grace grabbed a blanket, put it on top of her head, and rushed out in the rain to the lotus pond. Even though the blanket covered the top of her head and parts of her body, the rain still hit her arms and the front of her body. The raindrops were icy.
Grace quickly ran up to Jason, gasped slightly, and said, “What are you doing standing here? It’s raining. Hurry back in.”
However, he did not budge and stood where he was.
“Why did you come out?” His cold voice rang out on the rainy night.
He was all wet. His hair and face were wet with rain, and his black eyes were looking at her through the rain.
“We’ll talk about it after we get inside,” she said and took his hand to pull him inside.
However, he did not move.
“Why did you come out?” He repeated the previous question.
Grace had no choice but to say, “Am I supposed to keep watching you stand in the rain if I don’t come out?”
“Are you worried about me being caught in the rain?” he asked.
Grace was rendered speechless.
She glared at him. Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier and his body was drenched, he would probably get sick if this went on. All she could hear was the rain. After a long pause, Grace finally said, “Let’s just say I’m worried. Can we get in now?”
‘Let’s a**ume I don’t want him to get sick, especially when we’re the only ones here. It would be difficult to deal with if something happens to him!’ Grace gave herself an excuse.
‘However… am I not worried at all?’ asked a voice in her heart, but she could not give an answer at all.
Jason opened his thin lips and gently uttered a word, “Okay.”
