Kyla walked up the stairs and headed toward the study.
When she reached the study door, she looked at the closed door and took a deep breath. She wondered how he would treat her.
Indifferently orâ¦
Raising her hand, she knocked on the door before gently pushing it open.
In the study, Shana Nicholls was waiting on Martin Weiss and helping him take his medicine. Some needed to be taken before meals.
However, Shana Nicholls frowned when she saw Kyla entering the study. âWhy are you here?â
âWhy canât it be me? Nurse Ruan, do I need your permission to see Martin in the study?â Kyla asked in reply.
Shana Nichollsâs expression changed slightly. Out of the corners of her eyes, she glanced at Martin Weissâs expressionless face before replying, âOf course not. Itâs just that a servant would normally be serving food at this time.â
Kyla walked up to Martin Weiss. âI made todayâs dinner. Can you come down and eat with me?â
âThatâs unnecessary,â Martin Weiss said coldly.
Kyla only felt as if she had been stung in the heart. âWeâre still married. I only want to have a meal with you. Think of it as fulfilling one of my wishes, okay?â
The pleading tone made Martin Weiss hesitate. However, he recalled how he had gone down on his knees and begged her for another chance, but she had heartlessly refused him. He instantly rejected and said, âYou want me to fulfill your wish? But have you ever fulfilled my wish, Kyla? Donât ever tell me such a ridiculous thing again.â
She turned pale instantly.
âYou donât have to ask the servants to serve the food. Your cooking might not be to my taste,â he said before instructing Shana Nicholls, âManlo, ask the cook to cook me another meal and bring it upstairs later.â
âYes, Mr. Weiss,â Shana Nicholls replied with a burst of joy. Mr.
Weiss would not dine with Kyla or even eat her cooking. It seemed that she need not worry too much about Mr. Weiss having feelings for his wife.
Shana Nicholls hurried out of the study and down the stairs.
Martin Weiss looked coldly at Kyla. âWhatâs the matter? What are you still doing standing here?â
âDo you⦠hate me so much that you wonât even have a meal with me?â Kyla asked in a mutter. Her eyes felt so sore that she wanted to cry, but she was seemingly unable to.
Maybe⦠she did not want to cry in front of him. This manâs greatest concern back when he loved her was her tears.
He said her tears were a weapon that could hurt him. She was now unwilling to hurt him even if he did not love her anymore!
Martin Weiss said, âI just find it irritating and want to end our relationship as soon as possible. We both know that our marriage has no meaning now. Donât you feel exhausted continuing to pretend to be a family?â
She broke into a chuckle. âPretending to be a family⦠So he thinks weâre only pretending to be a family.
âDoes my persistence still matter?
Even only three months irritated him.
After taking a deep breath, Kyla said to Martin Weiss, âSo, will you pretend to be a family with me one last time?â
âWhat do you mean?â He narrowed his eyes.
âJust play pretend. Weâll spend a day like an ordinary married couple. Iâll set the itinerary. After the day ends, Iâll sign the divorce papers and head back to Emerald City. Weâll have nothing to do with each other, just like you hope. If the kids miss you, or vice versa, I wonât get in the way. You can meet anytime, but Iâll never appear in front of you again.â
