“I adore Juliet,” replied Kyla.
Martin Weiss almost asked whether she just liked the child or if it was because her father was Chase Harper!
Kyla became more and more worried as they had driven three blocks but there was still no sign of Juliet or news from Chase Harper.
Children at the age of three were the most likely to be abducted and trafficked. Although Emerald City was pretty safe, they were still afraid of accidents happening to the child.
Just as Kyla was about to call Grace to see if she could help find Juliet, Martin Weiss suddenly said, “Would you rather ask Grace for help than me?”
Kyla froze before turning to look at Martin Weiss. Martin Weiss turned the steering wheel and parked the car at the roadside. Then, he took out a phone and dialed a number.
“I’m Martin Weiss. Help me find someone. Juliet Harper, a little girl about three years old…” Martin Weiss said to the person on the other end of the phone. He even told them the market Juliet Harper had disappeared from.
Once Martin Weiss ended the call, Kyla looked surprised. “How… do you know Juliet is only three years old? And how do you know the name of the market?” She had never told him these!
Martin Weiss stared at the person in front of him. “I know far more than you think I do.”
“Did you look Chase Harper and me up?” It was all Kyla could think of.
Martin Weiss smiled faintly and did not deny it.
Kyla looked uneasy. “Why did you look Chase Harper up? Don’t lay a hand on him!”
Martin Weiss suddenly sneered. He unfastened his seat belt and leaned toward Kyla.
Kyla instantly stiffened. Her body seemed to be enveloped in their scent.
“What… What do you want to do?” she asked uneasily, putting her hands on his chest and trying to put some distance between them.
Martin Weiss stared at the person in front of him. Years had passed. She was so simple and innocent when they first met. Now, her once innocent and clear eyes were burdened with so many depressing things, but… he loved her more and more.
That affection seemed to be fused with heavy regret as it engraved in his bones and blood, making his approach toward her now seem precious.
“Are you telling me not to touch Chase Harper? Is that an order? Are you ordering me to stay away from him?”
asked Martin Weiss.
The low steady voice seemed to carry hints of danger.
Kyla bit her lip, afraid she would say something wrong and piss Martin Weiss off. It would be awful if he transferred his anger to Chase Harper.
Taking a deep breath, she said, “Chase Harper is a friend who helped me when I was in trouble. It has nothing to do with feelings for the opposite sex. I don’t want you to involve him because of what happened between us.”
His eyes glimmered slightly. “Are you speaking up for him? You know what? You rarely speak up for people you don’t care about. It seems he means a lot to you.”
“He’s a good person, and good people always suffer in this society. I don’t want a good person to suffer because of me. I can’t afford the guilt,” she said.
Martin Weiss somehow only felt his heart pricking because of what she just said.
Just then, Martin Weiss’s phone rang. It was a call from the person he had asked to find the child. They said that the child had been found.
A passerby found the child and took her to the police station.
“Okay, thanks. I owe you one,” said Martin Weiss.
They chuckled as they said, “Haha, it’s not easy to get you to owe me a favor. Who is this little girl? You even asked me to look for her.”
“Just a little girl who doesn’t matter.” Martin Weiss ended the call after saying that. Then, he said to Kyla, “They’ve found the child. She’s now at the police station.”
Martin Weiss started the car and drove toward the police station.
Kyla asked Martin Weiss which police department it was and called Chase Harper.
As Chase Harper had just reported it to the police, their records had not matched up yet. Therefore, Kyla’s message came first.
After learning that his daughter was at the police station, Chase Harper quickly thanked her and hurried to the police station.
Kyla and Martin Weiss came to the police station and saw Juliet Harper. At the sight of Kyla, the little one immediately shouted, “aunt Corbyn!”
Kyla walked up to greet the police officers and picked up the little one.
“Do you know how worried your daddy was about you running away?”
“I just wanted to see Nelson. I’ve been wanting to go to your house, but Daddy has no time to take me,” the little one pouted and said.
“Your daddy’s busy with work. If you ever want to see Nelson, just call me. I’ll pick you up or bring Nelson to see you, okay?”
said Kyla.
The little one immediately smiled and shouted okay.
“When your daddy’s here, apologize to him. You can’t do this again.” Kyla lectured the little one.
The little one seemed ashamed as she buried her face in his Kyla’s arms. However, she still nodded obediently and rubbed her little head against Kyla as if she was being affectionate.
Kyla stroked the little one with a smile on her lips, looking so gentle.
Martin Weiss watched them quietly. The adult and the little one looked like mother and daughter.
He recalled her telling him, “Martin, why don’t we have a son and a daughter in the future? Our son will look like you, while our daughter will look like me…”
However, they only had one son and no daughter.
She even struggled to give birth to their son while in prison!
Martin Weiss pursed his thin lips. For the first time, he wished that they had a daughter. If they had a daughter, he would be gentle to her too, and he would love their child with all he had!
Soon, Chase Harper arrived. He froze a little when he saw Martin Weiss at the police station. However, his attention soon fell on his daughter.
Before he could speak, Juliet Harper wisely said, “Daddy, I’m sorry! I won’t do it again!”
Her tender face was full of guilt and sorry. She even opened her arms to ask for a hug from her father!
Looking at his daughter’s behavior, what else did Chase Harper have to say? He already felt like he owed his daughter something when he divorced his wife. Whenever his daughter obediently admitted her mistake, his anger would immediately dissipate.
Chase Harper held his daughter in his arms and said to Kyla, “Thank you.”
“Keep a close eye on her. We’re lucky to have found her this time. If we didn’t, as a parent, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life,” said Kyla.
“I’ll be careful next time!” said Chase Harper before looking at Kyla and Martin Weiss. “You and he…”
“We coincidentally ran into each other. Mr. Weiss helped find Juliet this time,” said Kyla.
The appellation ‘Mr. Weiss’ once again irritated Martin Weiss.
“Thank you, Mr. Weiss,” said Chase Harper before turning to look at Kyla. “How about I take you home?”
