However, he learned from Jacqueline Bowman that Kyla only had a shabby store and lived in the house behind it. How did she become Martin Weiss’s wife?!
No matter what the real reason was, Mr. Lambert knew he was done for, and so was the Lambert family.
Jacqueline Bowman, who was standing not far away, was even more shocked.
‘Kyla is… Martin Weiss’s wife? She’s not his hidden lover?’
‘How could it be? How could Martin Weiss marry a woman who has been to prison? Although Kyla was wrongly convicted, it’s an indisputable fact that she was in prison for more than three years!’
Looking at Kyla who was standing beside Martin Weiss and being carefully protected by him, Jacqueline Bowman felt a fit of deep jealousy!
They were both ex-convicts, but why was Kyla able to marry Martin Weiss while she could not even get a title from someone like Neal Reid?
“It seems your friend is no ordinary person!” Neal Reid’s voice rang in Jacqueline Bowman’s ears. “I didn’t expect her to be Martin Weiss’s legitimate wife. Didn’t you claim to have a good relationship with her and that you helped her out a lot in prison? What’s the matter? Did she never even mention that to you?”
Jacqueline Bowman was embarrassed. She thought she knew everything about Kyla but in the end…
Kyla had kept the greatest secret from her!
Kyla had been waiting to see her make a fool of herself!
If Jacqueline Bowman was the one who said what Mr. Lambert had said today, she would be the one greatly humiliated!
Neal Reid said, “You’d better maintain a good relationship with this friend of yours. Whether the Hunter family can be friends with the Weiss family depends on how close you are! If the Hunter family can get on the Weiss family’s good side, then you’ll have much to gain. Don’t let me down again.”
Jacqueline Bowman shuddered. Looking at the man beside her, she suddenly felt an intense reluctance.
‘Is this all I can get? I’m no worse than Kyla. I’m even younger and prettier than her, but why are our fates so different?’
“Okay, got it,” Jacqueline Bowman looked down and replied obediently.
Grace handled the scene. Those who did not want to offend the Reed family naturally would not tell anyone about the fiasco, and there would not be any gossip news about it published online.
Martin Weiss had his driver send Kyla, Mrs. Corbyn, and Nelson back to the store while his car followed behind.
After watching Kyla, Mrs. Corbyn, and Nelson enter the store, his car was still parked not far from the store. He stared blankly at the lights inside.
He had always liked to look at the lights inside the store from this position. It made him feel close to Kyla. If he was lucky, he could see her taking out the trash.
However, he could no longer stay here. She would be scared if he got close, and he had promised her that he would stay away.
He was already lucky to see her and even get close to her tonight.
Just then, the door to the store suddenly opened and Nelson Corbyn ran out.
Nelson Corbyn ran to the car and gently rapped on the door.
Martin Weiss was a little stunned. He opened the door and got down from the car. “What’s wrong? Did something happen to your mother?” There was inconcealable anxiety in his voice, and he subconsciously wanted to run to the store.
“No, Mommy’s fine,” said Nelson Corbyn as he looked at his father sternly. “Thank you for protecting Mommy tonight.”
He wanted to protect his mother when Mr. Lambert showed up today, but his father reacted first and protected Mommy before he could make a move.
When the bad man talked badly about his mother, he suddenly realized that sometimes, fighting alone would not be enough to protect his mother.
He still could not protect his mother.
However, when his father said that his mother would be the only wife he ever had and that the bad man would pay for what he said, the bad man turned pale and fell to the ground in fear.
At that moment, he was suddenly grateful for the man he had hated so much but who was also his father.
He hated his father for hurting his mother and not protecting her. It was clear that his mother needed protection more than anyone else!
His biggest motivation over the years was to get stronger so that he could protect his mother and grandmother!
When he saw his father protect his mother today, he found his father rather cool! It was as if his hatred for his father was quietly fading away.
Martin Weiss looked at his son and sighed quietly. “You don’t need to thank me. It’s only natural for me to protect your mommy. I owe your mommy so much, and I hate myself for not protecting your mommy sooner.”
If he had protected Kyla well, they would not have turned out like this.
Martin Weiss bent over and looked straight at his son’s eyes that were similar to Kyla’s. “Don’t figure things out late like me. If you meet someone you like, protect them no matter what. Don’t regret it afterward.”
Nelson Corbyn listened on with a hazy notion. The only people he wanted to protect right now were his mother and grandmother.
‘Someone I like…’
“Do you like Mommy, Daddy?”
“Yes, I like her very much,” muttered Martin Weiss.
“Then why did you hurt Mommy like that back then?” Nelson was only nine years old now, but he was not as young as he was back then.
Martin Weiss rubbed his son’s head. “Because I was stupid. I was so foolish. I liked your mommy, but I wouldn’t admit it. I thought I could prove I didn’t like her by hurting her, but it was the stupidest idea!”
After a pause, he said, “Nelson, if you ever fall for someone, don’t avoid your feelings as I did. Cherish that person instead. It’s not easy to meet someone you like in this world. Perhaps you’ll only meet a person like that once in your life. When you miss the chance, you might live in pain and regret forever.”
It was just like his situation now.
Nelson Corbyn listened carefully. Of course, he had no idea how much this would affect him in the future!
After Nelson Corbyn returned to the store, Martin Weiss smiled bitterly and returned to the car.
Martin Weiss slowly started the car and left once the store’s lights went out.
