She bit her lower lip tightly. Moments later, she said, “If you won’t give me these three months, then… I’m not giving up custody.”

He looked at her thoughtfully. “You came here to tell me these all of a sudden. Did you suddenly find someone to marry and want to start a new life? Is that why you’ve changed your mind and want to give up custody?”

She was silent and said nothing.

However, her silence was tantamount to acquiescence to him!

Suddenly, he felt as if a thorn had pricked his heart, and it was growing longer and sharper, causing him constant pain.

“Why don’t you tell me who you’ve fallen for? Maybe I’ll give you some money as a gift because you loved me so much and gave birth to Nelson,” he said sarcastically.

“Martin Weiss, just tell me whether you agree to my terms. The rest are my personal matters. You don’t have to bother with them.” Kyla Corbyn took two more steps back to distance herself from him.”

However, his footsteps continued to approach her. Soon, he drove her against the wall. “Personal? Is the man you’ve fallen for as good as me? He probably doesn’t know about your past and how you used to throw yourself at me in bed, right? He also doesn’t know where you’re sensitive and where you have moles… Why don’t I tell him when I’m free?”

Smack! A slap suddenly rang in the room. The air seemed to freeze at this instant.

Martin Weiss’s face was slapped sideways, while Kyla Corbyn’s hand was aching badly.

‘I just… slapped him!’ Kyla Corbyn held her hand tightly.

“Martin Weiss, you wanted to get even with the Corbyn family because my father jeopardized your family, so you got back at me in your own way. I have nothing to say about that. I was silly to have fallen in love with you. I couldn’t tell the difference between sincerity and insincerity.

“I don’t blame anyone but myself for not having seen through you earlier. But I was sincere when I loved you. I loved you with all my heart and soul, so why would you insult me like this?

“Martin Weiss, you know what? By saying that, you’re not only insulting me but also yourself. You never loved me and wanted to retaliate against me, but you still slept with me. What does that mean? Were you selling your body to get revenge? And I didn’t even pay for it!”

She glared at him and spoke loudly.

Martin Weiss’s eyes darkened, and his thin lips were almost pressed into a straight line. It was obvious from the expression on his face that he was mad. However, when he heard Kyla Corbyn say, ‘I loved you with all my heart and soul’, a complicated gleam flashed in his eyes.

All of a sudden, Kyla Corbyn’s body shook. Her pretty eyebrows furrowed, and her face suddenly turned pale. She covered the upper right part of her abdomen with one hand while she bent slightly. Large drops of cold sweat began fo appear on her forehead.

“What’s come over you?” said Martin Weiss, recalling that he had seen her like this before.

“No-Nothing…” she said with difficulty. It had only been a minute or two, but her face was white as a sheet, and she looked as if she was enduring great pain.

The way she looked seemed to make his heart fill with panic. “I’ll take you to the hospital.”

“No!” She grabbed his arm so hard that it hurt badly. “I’m alright. It’s old trouble. I’ll be okay… I’ll be okay in a minute. Do you agree… to my terms?” she asked with difficulty.

He stared at her. ‘Old trouble? When did she get it? She never had something like this when we were together.

‘Or did she get it while she was in prison?’

“Do… Do you… agree?” she asked again as if pressing for an answer.

He stared at her with darkening eyes, and after a long while, he finally said, “Okay. Three months, right? Fine!”

There was a relieved smile on the corners of her lips. The sight of her smile on her pale and frail face made her look so beautiful and fragile. For a moment, Martin Weiss could not describe what he was feeling.

Kyla Corbyn loosened her grip and stood up straight while shaking. “Then I… I’ll hand over Nelson to you… in three months. Mr. Weiss, I hope you can treat Nelson well.”

She released her grip on his arm as she spoke and headed to the door of the suite with faltering steps.

“Kyla Corbyn!” Martin Weiss could not help calling out to her.

Her footsteps paused, and she turned around slowly. “Mr. Weiss, is… Is there anything else?”

“Are you sure you’re alright?” he asked. Somehow, there was a strange uneasiness in his heart that made his heart beat very fast.

She smiled faintly. “Why would I not be alright? I… was alright when I gave birth in prison… What could happen now? I’m fine, and I’ll take good care of… myself…”

With that, she walked to the door, opened it with almost all her strength, and left.

The door closed with a bang, and Martin Weiss seemed to snap back to his senses. He could not help laughing at himself.

‘What’s wrong with me? I can’t believe I was worried about

Kyla Corbyn for a moment there!

‘I need not worry about women like her! Three months. It’s just three months. In three months, I’ll have nothing to do with her after getting Nelson’s custody!

‘But why is this fact prickling my heart? The pain makes it a little hard for me to breathe.

Grace went to see Kyla Corbyn the next morning. Nelson had already gone to the kindergarten and was not at home while Mrs. Corbyn went out grocery shopping.

Only Kyla Corbyn was at home.

“Kyla, what on earth is going on? Why are you suddenly giving up Nelson’s custody?” asked Grace.

“The odds of winning are slim, and… as you can see, I only run a food stall. I can’t make a lot of money. Nelson will need more money in the future. If he’s with me, he won’t be able to go to a good school and I have no extra money for him to attend after-school cla**es either. What more food and clothing expenses? I’ll only be able to give him the worst things!”

Grace hurriedly said, “I can provide Nelson a better life! I like Nelson very much. I think of him as my godson!”

“Thank you, Grace.” Kyla Corbyn forced a smile. “You’ve helped enough, but… if Nelson didn’t have a father, I might have accepted your kindness. But since he has a father and his father can provide him with a better life, then he should be with his father.”

“But Kyla, do you have the heart to do so?” asked Grace. Since becoming pregnant, she had become more aware of the kinship between a child and its mother. Besides, Kyla had raised Nelson for four years.

Kyla Corbyn murmured, “I have to do it even if I don’t have the heart to do so. I just want to choose the best path for Nelson. I hope he’ll understand my efforts.”

“But what you think is the best path may not be the path Nelson wants. Does he know he’s going to live with Martin Weiss from now on?”

“I haven’t told him yet. I’ll hand him to Martin Weiss in three months. I plan to tell him about it then.” Let these three months be her last happy moments with her son. “Grace, don’t tell Nelson about this, okay?”

Kyla Corbyn’s eyes were full of implorations.

Grace said, “Kyla, this is not the time to take this step. I already told Jay to find the attending doctor who performed the abortion when Paisley Daniels fell down the stairs. As long as Paisley Daniels wasn’t carrying Martin Weiss’s child, I can prove that you were set up!”
