However, whatever it was, he would take it.

Whether it was her sympathy or something else, he wanted it, What he could not bear the most was her indifference.

If it was indifference, it felt as if he had ceased to exist in her eyes.

He never wanted to see her look at him that way again.

The two arrived at a small noodle restaurant near the hospital. Kyla ordered a bowl of noodles with pork chop and looked at Martin Weiss.

“Same as her,” Martin Weiss said to the lady boss, who was also the cashier.

“Alright,” the lady boss answered.

The two walked over to a small dining table. Kyla looked at Martin Weiss’s hand and said, “Keep an eye on your hand these days. Don’t let your small injury turn into a big one like what the doctor said.”

“I will,” he answered like an obedient child.

Two bowls of noodles with pork chops soon arrived. Kyla lowered her head to eat while Martin Weiss looked at the woman in front of him. He recalled back to the time when they had noodles together. She had smiled and said, “Martin, why don’t I learn how to make noodles? That way, I can make you a bowl of longevity noodles on your birthday. You can live to an old age in peace.”

“Do you believe that?” he asked with a chuckle.

“I would rather believe it!” she said.

“You don’t have to go out of your way to do it. Just buy some longevity noodles in the supermarket and boil them.”

“But homemade noodles are more sincere. I’ll make them for you for every birthday from now on. And you’ll live a safe and healthy life. Our children and I are counting on you!”

She trusted him with all her heart at the time!

However, in the end, he did not manage to eat the longevity noodles she made. An opportunity like that had become a luxury he could not afford.

Could she and their children still count on him?

“Why aren’t you eating?” Just then, Kyla’s voice rang out. He came back to his senses and happened to meet her puzzled eyes.

“I just had a little flashback. I… I’ll start eating now.” With that said, he lowered his head and devoured the noodles in front of him.

He would become someone she and their children could count on! He would keep them safe even if he had to sacrifice his life!

He would make all the necessary preparations so that she and the children would have a good life even if something happened to him!

After their meal, Martin Weiss asked the driver to send Kyla home.

“I won’t get into the car so that you’ll be less afraid. Kyla, I know that no matter what I say or do, I can’t fix things. After all, what’s done is done! Maybe the best I can do is make you a little less afraid of me. All I want in this life is for you to be okay and safe. I’m not expecting anything else.”

He muttered inwardly, ‘Yes, I’m not expecting anything. I’m not expecting another chance to spend my whole life with her.

‘Or that she’ll fall for me again.’

He no longer had the right to these things after what had happened that year. It was all the more reason he should not be anticipating them!

Kyla felt a pang in her heart. When Martin Weiss said he was ‘not expecting anything else’, she felt something pressing against her chest. It made her a little breathless.

His face was still so pale under the street lights. The eyes looking at her were filled with love, pain, regret, and… despair.

However, his voice was so calm! It was as if he was just calmly telling her about his decision!

She stared blankly into his eyes for a moment. She only felt as if she were caught in an invisible net and was unable to move. She could not even look away.

‘Stop looking! Don’t look at him anymore!’

She desperately told herself. Sometime later, she suddenly turned her head away and opened the car door. She got on it as though she was fleeing!

The car pulled away slowly after the door closed.

Martin Weiss watched the car fade out of sight and smiled bitterly.

Maybe this was the best ending for him and Kyla.

MANIA

Taking out his phone, he ordered the person on the other end of the line, “Look into the people who dined with Kyla in the private room today.”

Since those people tried to use her, they would have to suffer the consequences!

Jacqueline Bowman came to the store early in the morning and repeatedly apologized to Kyla.

“Kyla, I’m sorry. I had no idea things would end up like that yesterday. Oh, Mr. Lambert had a little too much to drink and is used to being cocky. That’s why he spoke so harshly. Don’t mind him!”

Kyla looked at her and said bluntly, “You planned everything at the hot pot restaurant yesterday, didn’t you? You brought me there, took me to the private room, and asked me to call Martin Weiss to come over. None of it was coincidental, was it?”

Jacqueline Bowman immediately looked guilty as she chuckled drily. “I… I had no other choice. I’m only Neal Reid’s lover. He has always wanted to make connections with the Weiss family. After learning that I know you and you know Martin Weiss, he asked me to set up a meeting. He thought he could seal some business deals if he could speak to Martin Weiss over a meal. Who knew it would end up like that?”

“Don’t do anything like that again. If you want to have a meal with me, we can. But if you want other people to join us, then I’ll have to refuse,” said Kyla.

Jacqueline Bowman smiled faintly and asked curiously, “But Martin Weiss seemed really nice to you yesterday. He even made a move on Mr. Lambert for you. Mr. Lambert couldn’t resist at all.

The head of the Weiss family is indeed extraordinary. Why don’t you put in a good word for my Neal?

His company happens to be bidding for Weiss Group’s project.”

“I’m not familiar with business. Besides, I never talk to Martin Weiss about business. I’m not involved in his business!” said Kyla.

Jacqueline Bowman’s expression changed slightly. Then, she smiled even brighter. “Just because you’re not involved now doesn’t mean you won’t be in the future. You have much to gain if Neal wins the bid. Give us a number.
