“Yes.”

“And it’s… Martin Weiss’s… baby?” Her voice went out of tune at the end of her sentence.

“Yes,” Kyla answered again.

Mrs. Corbyn was silent. The mother and daughter looked at each other.

A long time had passed when Mrs. Corbyn finally said, “What on earth is going on? Don’t you no longer love Martin Weiss? How did you get pregnant with his baby?”

Kyla smiled ruefully. “It was an accident. He came to me drunk, and I took him to a hotel room.”

Mrs. Corbyn could figure out the rest without Kyla telling her.

“Then… does Martin Weiss know about this baby?” asked Mrs. Corbyn.

“He knows,” said Kyla. She then told her mother what had happened today with Martin Weiss.

Mrs. Corbyn blamed herself as she listened.

As a mother, she did not even know her daughter was pregnant when she had thrown up so many times.

Thinking of the struggles her daughter had gone through these days for the baby she was carrying, Mrs. Corbyn pitied her daughter even more, “Since you’ve decided to have this baby, then… let’s raise the baby together. The store is doing well anyway. I can do some handiwork in my spare time. My old body can still take another ten years,” said Mrs. Corbyn.

Having another child would add to their financial burden. The best she could do now was to make her daughter’s burden as light as possible.

Kyla’s eyes filled with tears. Her mother had already done so much for her!

She should be enjoying her later years but had to work so hard for her!

Kyla took a deep breath and voiced out her decision. “Mom, I plan to marry Martin Weiss!”

“What?” Mrs. Corbyn was truly shocked this time, even more so than when she learned that her daughter was pregnant earlier.

She knew better than anyone how much her daughter had suffered because of Martin Weiss. In the past, she had thought about her daughter getting back together with Martin Weiss after he repented. After all, they had Nelson.

That way, they would be able to give Nelson a complete family.

However, her daughter had vetoed it after she mentioned it several times, so she stopped giving it any more thought. Who knew her daughter would mention it herself this time?

“You want to marry Martin Weiss? Is it because of this baby?” asked Mrs. Corbyn.

Kyla said, “That’s part of the reason. I don’t want this child to be born a bastard, nor do I want you and Nelson to suffer from more gossip. I know the neighbors have said a lot of nasty things because I’m single with Nelson.”

“Why should you care about all this gossip? You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do because of gossip like that!” Mrs. Corbyn tried to persuade her.

Kyla looked down at her belly, which was still flat. “Mom, even if you don’t care, should Nelson and the baby I’m carrying… have to live with that kind of gossip all their lives?”

After a pause, Kyla added, “Even if I divorce Martin Weiss afterward, there’d be a lot less gossip, and… the baby I’m carrying will be lawfully born.”

Mrs. Corbyn only sighed and said nothing more.

After her son finished his homework in the evening, Kyla said, “Nelson, I plan to marry your daddy.

And I have a baby in my belly. Will you accept me getting married and having a baby?”

Nelson Corbyn was stunned as he looked blankly at his mother.

“Mommy, you’re pregnant?” Nelson asked in confusion.

Children at this age only had a vague idea of where babies came from.

Kyla could only say vaguely, “It was an accident. But I hope this baby will be born legally so that people won’t criticize them in the future.”

Nelson listened with a hazy notion and asked, “Mommy, are you afraid that the baby will be called a bastard?”

The word ‘bastard’ was a word he had heard many times during his childhood.

Those people had always looked at him with sorry, pity, or contempt when they said the word.

He did not understand the meaning of the word back then.

However, he found out what it meant as he got older.

Kyla felt a pang in her heart when she heard that. She owed so much to her son.

“If… If you can’t accept that, then I…”

Nelson Corbyn said, “No! Mommy, no matter what you decide, I’ll support you. And… I don’t want my younger brother or sister to be called a bastard either.”

With that said, he looked as if he were hesitant to speak.

“What’s the matter? What do you have to say to me?” asked Kyla.

“Well… Mommy, are we going to live with Daddy after you two get married?” Nelson Corbyn asked, his little face looking troubled.

It seemed he still had a problem with Martin Weiss!

Kyla said, “No. We’ll only get a marriage license. We’re not going to live together. It’s just to give the baby a legitimate identity.” Of course, that was if Martin Weiss agreed with all this.

Kyla was a little unsure as she thought about it.

She knew that Martin Weiss would probably agree immediately if she wanted to marry him and live with him.

However, she was only marrying him to give the baby a legitimate identity so that the child would not be attacked by gossip.

The next day, Kyla went to the hospital to see Martin Weiss.

Martin Weiss seemed to be a little surprised when he saw Kyla, but he hurriedly sat up. “What are you doing here?

Did I scare you yesterday? 1… I really… But I’m glad you agreed yesterday.”

The head of Weiss Group, who had never been nervous in front of countless employees, was so nervous that he even stuttered in front of her.

“Kyla, I… will treat you and our children well… I’ll do whatever you want me to do!” he stammered.

She stared at him. “You’ll do whatever I want you to do?”

“Yes, I’ll do whatever you want. Even if you want me dead!” he said with great certainly.

He would give her everything he had.

“I need you alive, but I need you to marry me,” said Kyla.

Martin Weiss froze instantly. His expression froze as if he had heard something unbelievable.
