I promise Neal will pay you that amount.”
Kyla looked at her indifferently. “I don’t think I can help you. I welcome you if you sincerely want to catch up with me. But if your want to talk about business and Martin Weiss, no thanks.”
“You…” Jacqueline Bowman frowned. “Kyla, I helped you out when we were in prison. When everyone was mean to you, I was kind to you, wasn’t I? You have a good life waiting for you now that you’ve hooked up with Martin Weiss and are carrying his baby. Won’t you even help me out?”
Kyla pressed her lips together. “Martin Weiss has nothing to do with my life now. I appreciate what you did for me in prison, and I’ll do my best to help you if you ever get in trouble. But Martin Weiss has nothing to do with me, so I can’t help you out with these matters.”
“Nothing to do with you? You’re pregnant with his baby, yet you say you have nothing to do with him?
It’s alright if you don’t want to help, but why would you lie?” Jacqueline Bowman snapped.
Just then, another car pulled up to the store’s entrance. Grace got out.
When Jacqueline Bowman saw that someone was here, she frowned and said, “Forget it. I’ll come and see you again when I’m free.” Then, she left in a hurry.
Grace walked past Jacqueline Bowman and walked up to Kyla.
“Who is that person? A friend?”
Kyla said with a faint smile, “We’re not really friends. She’s a former inmate. She was kind to me when I was in prison. I met her by chance a few days ago, but I found that she only wanted to use me to get to know Martin Weiss for business. She didn’t really want to catch up with me.”
Grace sighed. “People are complicated. Sometimes, you’ll meet someone okay, but other times, you’ll find that they’re not that great.”
“Yeah, people are complicated. Besides, people will change over the years,” said Kyla.
“Is she the same person who helped you erase your tracks and avoid Martin Weiss’s radar after you were released from prison?” Grace asked again.
“No.” Kyla shook her head. “That person… is my true savior. If it hadn’t been for her, maybe Nelson and I would be worse off now. She was released earlier than me. I don’t know why she ended up in prison, but I think with her ability, she’ll be fine after getting out.
She had wanted to meet that person all these years but it did not happen. She had no way of asking around either. Though that person had helped her out so much at the time, she only knew her name.
“If it’s meant to be, then you’ll meet each other sooner or later,”
said Grace.
“I hope so.” Kyla smiled. “By the way, why are you here?”
“I’m here to give you your invitation card!” said Grace as she took out a party invitation card from her bag. “I just came from Lina’s place. Tina’s almost one month old, and they want to hold her a full moon celebration. Lina and Hadwin Stephenson have only received a marriage license. They haven’t held a wedding party yet. Hadwin Stephenson wants to hold a grand full moon celebration to officially announce Lina’s status once again, lest the tabloids make up some rumors.”
“Is… Is there a dress code for the party?” asked Kyla. After all, she did not have any formal dresses. She would make a fool of herself if she attended in her regular clothes.
Grace knew what Kyla was worried about and said, “Why don’t you and Nelson come look for me on that day before going to the party? I’ll get you both dressed for the party!”
“That’s too much trouble!” Kyla said quickly.
“How are you any trouble? I’m your best friend and Nelson’s godmother! I’ll get upset if you’re treating me a stranger,” said Grace.
Kyla’s heart melted, and she stopped rejecting.
“By the way, I saw the boy from the Hunter family again when I left Lina’s place,” said Grace.
“He went over to Lina’s place again?”
Grace muttered, “Yeah, Lina said that the child would visit Tina once or twice a week. That child seems to really care about Tina. I wonder why he’s so interested in Tina? Tina is just a baby right now. What’s so special about her?”
Unfortunately, the boy from the Hunter family would not say why.
“We’ll find out in the future. At least, the child means Tina no harm for now,” said Kyla.
“You’re right. That child pretty much saved Tina and Lina’s life!”
said Grace. Then, she changed the topic and looked at Kyla.
“What about you? What’s going on with you and Martin Weiss? Are you really going to divorce him when the baby is born?”
Kyla glanced down at her belly and replied softly, “Yes.”
Grace knew that Kyla was still unwilling to accept Martin Weiss, so she stopped talking about it.
After all, only people involved in the relationship knew what was going on. She would support her best friend no matter what she decided.
If Kyla wanted to be with Martin Weiss, she would congratulate her with lavish gifts.
If Kyla planned to raise the children alone, she would help her!
“You can put away the invitation card for the full moon celebration first. I’ll send a car to get Aunt, Nelson, and you on the day of the party,” said Grace before leaving.
Kyla looked at the invitation for the full moon celebration and gently stroked her belly.
The two babies were less than one year apart, but… Tina Stephenson would be the Stephenson and Sweeney families’
treasure. Her parents would dote on her, and she would be the little princess everyone envied.
In contrast, she would be raising her baby alone. The baby would be born without their father’s company, just like Nelson. Even though Martin Weiss would occasionally visit their children, their relationship would not be like a normal father and his children where they would spend every day together.
‘Will the child… blame me?
‘Will they blame me for not giving them a complete family?’
Kyla smiled wryly. “I’m sorry I can’t give you a complete home, but… I still want you to see the world. I’ll do everything I can to protect you and give you lots of love!”
Tina Stephenson’s full moon party naturally attracted a lot of attention.
After all, Hadwin Stephenson had announced to the media that the baby Lina carried would be the future heir of the Stephenson family before Tina Stephenson was even born.
