She only hoped he could treat Nelson kindly!
After taking a few pictures, the little one said, “Mommy, come take pictures with Daddy and me too! Can we, Daddy?”
The little one looked up at Martin Weiss expectantly.
Martin Weiss was about to say yes, but Kyla Corbyn spoke first, “Our photos will be taken automatically when we’re on the rides in this amusement park. I’ll take those photos out for you when we get home, okay?”
The little one immediately nodded excitedly and did not bring up the topic again.
Kyla Corbyn breathed a sigh of relief. She just discovered that the amusement park had such a function, and it saved her from having to force herself to take pictures with Martin
Weiss.
Even though it was her son’s wish, it was a torment to her.
Martin Weiss’s expression sank. ‘Does this woman not want to take pictures with me?
‘I should be the one to not want it. How dare this woman… However, Kyla Corbyn did not even glance at him. She just talked to her son with her head down. The adult and the child kept pointing at the landscape outside through the Ferris wheel’s gla** window.
He suddenly had the feeling that she was treating him like air.
At noon, the three found a restaurant in the amusement park and sat down. Kyla Corbyn stopped eating after just having a little of the food.
“Why did you stop eating?” he asked when he saw that she had stopped eating.
“I’m full,” she said lightly.
His brows could not help furrowing. ‘She hardly ate a few mouthfuls and she’s already full?’
The little one requested to go to the restaurant’s playground after finishing lunch.
Kyla Corbyn nodded, and the little one immediately ran toward the playground excitedly.
As the restaurant’s playground area was not far from where they were sitting, Kyla Corbyn did not follow him. Instead, she sat in her seat and watched her son who had gone over to play with other children.
After all, children had to learn to be independent. She could not be there for him forever.
She did not even have much time left to accompany him!
Kyla Corbyn asked the waiter for a gla** of water and took out the pill organizer from her bag. There were eight pills in the organizer, each of a different shape and color. She began to take them one by one.
Martin Weiss frowned even more at this sight. “Why do you need to take so many medications? What’s wrong with you?”
Kyla Corbyn swallowed the pills with the water. “I don’t need to tell you what’s wrong with me, do I?”
His face darkened, and he suddenly grabbed her hand that was holding the pills. He asked sternly, “What’s wrong with you? Why are you taking so many pills?”
A bad feeling suddenly surged in his heart, and the way she had turned pale in pain the few times before recurred to him.
She would not have to take so many medications at once if it was just an ordinary illness!
“Martin Weiss, what is this? Are you concerned about me?
Aren’t you supposed to hate me to the death? Why do you care what’s wrong with me?” she sneered and said.
Martin Weiss’s face darkened. “Don’t flatter yourself. I just don’t want you to die in front of me and irritate my eyes. If you’re going to die one day, die somewhere I can’t see you!”
With that, he violently shook her hand away as if it was filthy.
Kyla Corbyn smiled lightly. “If I’m going to die one day, I won’t die in front of you because I don’t want you to be the last person I see!”
“You…” He glared at her. He only found her words making his heart feel stuffy with pain. “Stop talking about dying all day long. What’s the matter? Are you going to die to get my sympathy now?”
She did not answer him but lowered her head to swallow the pills one at a time until she was done. Then, she looked up and stared at him without wavering, saying, “Well then, do you feel sorry for me? If I were to die and you had the chance to save me, would you?”
He was shocked. ‘What does she mean? Is she dying?’
The speculation flashed through his mind, but he dismissed it. ‘How can it be? She’s only saying this to get my sympathy, or perhaps she has some other motives.’
“How could I possibly save you? Forget about it. Kyla Corbyn,
I won’t save you even if you die in front of me today!” he said coldly.
She smiled gently. “I thought so too. Martin Weiss, thank you.”
He was stunned. Her thanks sounded so irritating. “Why are you thanking me? Is that sarcasm?”
“No, I really want to thank you,” she said lightly. Her eyes shifted to her son who was still at the playground not far away. He was interacting with other children.
She wanted to thank Martin Weiss for breaking her unrealistic fantasies, for letting her know that she was right to get over this man. She wanted to thank him for letting her get out of this relationship that was wrong from the beginning.
“If there’s another life, I hope we don’t meet again.” She did not even want to see him anymore.
Martin Weiss’s face turned more and more gloomy. ‘Don’t meet again? Who does she think she is?’
However, why did he feel so uncomfortable at the sight of her being this calm?
After leaving the amusement park, Martin Weiss drove Kyla
Corbyn and Nelson home. The little one fell asleep next to Kyla Corbyn as soon as he got into the car.
“We’ve gone to the amusement park now. Don’t try any more tricks. Send Nelson over when the time is up. If you break your promise, don’t blame me for showing no mercy,” Martin Weiss said abruptly.
Kyla Corbyn only found it ridiculous. ‘When has he had mercy for me?’
“I won’t go back on my word. I just… hope you’ll be nicer to Nelson,” she said.
“He’s my son. Of course, I’ll be nice to him,” Martin Weiss said coldly.
Kyla Corbyn said nothing more. She only turned her head and looked at her son fondly.
When the car arrived below the apartment, Kyla Corbyn was about to carry her son upstairs when Martin Weiss said, “I’|| carry him.”
“No thanks, Mr. Weiss. I can carry Nelson.” Kyla Corbyn refused. “I hope you can hug Nelson more when he starts living with you. I’ll carry him for now!”
She picked the little one up and turned to head to the apartment’s elevator.
He stared at her back. As she was carrying the child, her back seemed slightly bent. She seemed to be struggling but still held the child to her chest.
‘Has she held the child like this… all these years?’
She had been carrying the child like this countless times when he still did not know of Nelson’s existence…
Martin Weiss’s heart suddenly seemed to be stung by something.
Kyla Corbyn got home and put Nelson carefully on the bed. A notification beeped on her phone and she glanced casually at it. It was a news pop-up notification.
She usually would not pay attention to such news, but this one made her shudder suddenly. She quickly picked up the phone and opened the link to the news.
It was news about Hadwin Stephenson!
The news said that Hadwin Stephenson had joined forces with the Jackson family of ] City and suddenly appeared at the shareholders’ meeting today. He also retrieved his rights to the Stephenson family.
The police had also arrested the Stephenson family’s first wife and her two sons. The arrest was on suspicion of wounding with intent.
It could be said that the first wife’s family had lost everything!
