Kyla arrived outside the company’s building and intended to hail a taxi back. She only found her behavior of taking a taxi here today a little ridiculous after coming across that scene in Martin Weiss’s office.
If she had called, she would not have seen that.
There was still a tightness in her chest. It was like it was trying to prove something.
However… it was something she did not want to prove!
A taxi stopped in front of her. She was about to get in when a hand suddenly grabbed the door. “Kyla, wait. Let me explain. It’s not what you think.”
Kyla said, “I’m not thinking about anything. I just wanted to tell you about the parent-child event.
Nelson’s classmates know that we’re married now. If you don’t attend the parent-child event, I’m afraid that people will gossip about our child again. I hope you’ll attend if you’re free.”
His eyes darkened. She made it seem as though his explanations were unnecessary and all she cared about was the parent-child event.
“Do you really not care about what I do with other women?” he asked in a murmur.
Kyla’s heart trembled a little, and the nagging feeling in her chest was screaming something.
“What should I care?” she asked back, deliberately ignoring the feeling in her heart.
“Hey, are we going or not? Don’t waste my time holding the door open like this!” the driver at the front said impatiently.
Kyla hurriedly said, “I’m sorry. We’re almost done!” Then, she looked at Martin Weiss. “I’ve already said what I needed to say. Let’s not waste the driver’s time. You don’t have to explain whatever you do with other women to me.”
With that said, she got into the car and pulled the door shut.
The taxi drove away quickly, but Martin Weiss was still standing there. His body felt as if he had been dunked in ice water. It was so cold.
It turned out that one word from her could make him feel like he was in an ice cellar.
It turned out that she did not care about him at all.
“Haha… Ha…” He laughed bitterly. In the hospital that morning, he even thought that she still cared a little about him.
However, she did not.
It was all just wishful thinking.
Martin Weiss returned to the office looking soulless.
Jacqueline Bowman was still in his office. When she saw Martin Weiss, she summoned up courage and went forward. “Mr. Weiss, I think you’ve misunderstood me. I came here with the best of intentions. I meant no harm…”
However, Martin Weiss slapped her to the floor before she got close.
“You meant no harm?” Martin Weiss stared at her coldly. “Do you think you’re smart, or do you think I’m a fool? If it isn’t for the fact that you helped Kyla back then, what you’ve done today is enough to make you and your backer have no place in Emerald City!”
Jacqueline Bowman instantly stiffened, and she only felt a burning pain on her face.
Martin Weiss said coldly, “Don’t let me see you again. Otherwise, I won’t go easy on you even though you’ve helped Kyla before! If you tell anyone else what Kyla suffered in prison, I can guarantee that you’ll never be able to say another word.”
Jacqueline Bowman eventually left Martin Weiss’s office while trembling all over.
All she felt was fear. She could even feel a desire to kill from Martin Weiss when he warned her.
‘Is Martin Weiss going to… kill me?
‘I… I must be overthinking!’ Jacqueline Bowman comforted herself, but the hatred in her heart grew.
Her hatred and jealousy for Kyla also intensified.
In her mind, she encountered all this because of Kyla!
If only Kyla did not exist!
If she had known, she would never have helped Kyla back then!
After Nelson fell asleep that night, Mrs. Corbyn asked her daughter, “What’s come over you? You’ve been looking distracted after coming home today. Is there something wrong with the check-up today?
Don’t keep it to yourself. Just talk to me!”
“Mom, I’m fine. There’s nothing wrong with the check-up. The doctor just wants me to watch my diet. I shouldn’t eat too many innards,” said Kyla.
“Then why did you…”
“I… I was just thinking about Nelson’s parent-child event.” She made up a random excuse.
“What’s the matter? You can’t bring yourself to speak to Martin Weiss?”
“No, I’ve told him.”
“Then… is he too busy to go to the parent-child event?” Mrs. Corbyn guessed aloud.
“He’ll… probably attend the parent-child,” Kyla said after a moment of hesitation. Although Martin Weiss did not give her a direct answer, knowing Martin Weiss’s character, he would attend since he did not refuse.
“Are you afraid you’ll have to see him at the parent-child event?” asked Mrs. Corbyn.
Kyla did not deny it this time. Mrs. Corbyn said, “Oh, why don’t you speak to Nelson’s class teacher if you’re unwilling? Just say you’re feeling under the weather because of your pregnancy. Not all families have both parents attend the parent-child event every time anyway.”
Kyla pressed her lips together and smiled to lessen her mother’s worry.
“Never mind. It’s just a parent-child event. Nothing will happen even if I attend it with Martin Weiss.
Besides, once the little one in my belly is born, I’ll still have to see Martin Weiss. I can’t avoid him. Why don’t I just face him instead of avoiding him all the time?”
