âIt doesnât matter now whether it was love at first sight,â Kyla said flatly.
âI just want you to know that I fell in love with you from the very beginning,â said Martin Weiss.
âThat only proves that thatâs all to your love,â she said and walked past Martin Weiss again, intending to head for the bus stop.
Martin Weiss yanked Kyla. âIâll take you home.â
âNo thanks. I can do it myselfâ
He interrupted her and said, âAre you going to take the bus? There are a lot of people at the bus stop here. Youâre a pregnant woman. Will you get on a crowded bus? Arenât you worried that youâll throw up? Since weâre husband and wife now, isnât it a matter of fact that I take you home?â
âWe only got the marriage license for the children. Weâre not husband and wife at all. Martin Weiss, youâre not going back on your word, are you?â Kyla said nervously.
He stared at her. âDo you think Iâm the kind of person who goes back on their word?â
She froze.
He muttered, âYou only got the marriage license with me for the sake of the children, so Iâm not your husband to you, but⦠Kyla, you know what? To me, youâre my wife, my one and only wife.â
Kyla froze and looked somewhat blankly at the person in front of her. His voice was low and somewhat hoarse.
Martin Weissâs words somehow made her heart clench a little, causing a small pang of pain.
His voice continued to ring in her ears. âAlso, if you really want a divorce one day, Iâll do it as long as you ask. You donât have to worry that youâll be stuck in this marriage forever.â
Even though⦠he really wished that marriage could bind her and keep her with him..
While Kyla was in a trance, Martin Weiss had taken her to the car. He put her in the front passenger seat and bent over to fasten her seat belt carefully.
âAh!â She snapped back to her senses and saw his magnified face in before her. âYouâ¦â She was so caught off guard that her cheeks flushed.
He looked at the blush on her cheeks and seemed to see the old her as he fell into a trance.
His proximity and intimacy had always made her cheeks blush with shyness and joy. He would even deliberately do something just to see her blush.
3/3 âKyla, Iâll make you trust me again one day,â said Martin Weiss before straightening up and returning to the driverâs seat.
He could not be impatient. Since he was the one who broke her trust, he was willing to piece it all back together. No matter how long it took, even if it would take a lifetime, he would do it.
Kyla froze. âShould I trust him again? Trust in what? Trust that he actually loves me?
âBut how is that possible?â
She had once trusted him with all her heart, and she ended up in jail.
She never wanted to go through that hopelessness again.
