Kyla replied and ended the call.
She should deal with this as soon as possible. Otherwise, Nelson would be criticized again if the same rumor spread in Emerald City.
She could not help but feel anguished when she thought of the criticism her son had endured because of her prison sentence and for having a single-parent family.
She did not want the past to repeat itself.
Taking a deep breath, she dialed Martin Weissâs phone, praying that he would pick up her phone call.
Moments later, Martin Weissâs voice came from the other end of the line. âWhatâs up?â
âIâd like to ask why weâre already divorced but there are rumors about you cheating in L City. Even if you brought Nurse Ruan to the banquet, such rumors shouldnât exist. And why didnât you issue a statement that youâre divorced?â
Kyla asked a series of questions, while Martin Weiss only replied with one sentence. âWeâre not divorced yet.â
âWhat?â Kyla froze, thinking she had heard it wrong.
âI havenât filed for divorce, so weâre still married,â said Martin Weiss.
Kyla was dumbstruck. âWhy⦠havenât you done it?â
âDidnât he want me to sign the divorce papers to get rid of me sooner?â
She had signed the papers, but he had not gone through the formalities.
âI have no time.â He blurted out four words indifferently.
ââ¦â Kyla did not know how to describe her mood for a while. âYou can ask the lawyer to do it. Doesnât Weiss Group have a legal team?â
âThe companyâs legal team only takes care of company affairs. It doesnât include the Weiss familyâs private affairs!â
âThen⦠why donât you send me the agreement and Iâll take care of it?â she asked again.
The other end of the line was silent. After a long while, his voice came, âKyla, do you want to divorce me that much?â
âHeâs the one who wants to divorce me!â
3/4 âSince we both want a divorce, I think itâs better to go through the formalities as soon as possible.
Youâll be divorced soon, so thereâs no such thing as you having an affair. I also donât want it to affect Nelson and cause him trouble.â
âHave our children always mattered the most to you?â His voice grew colder.
âNo! He has become as important as our children to me, perhaps even⦠more important,â she told herself.
âBut whatâs the point of that now? Iâm only humiliating myself. Heâll laugh at me.â
âYes, my children matter the most to me,â she replied.
The other end of the line was quiet for a long time.
Kyla waited a long while before finally saying, âMartin Weiss, are you⦠still there?â
âIâll take care of it. You donât have to worry about the kids,â he said and hung up the phone, leaving Kyla staring at her phone.
âWhat the hell is going on? Why didnât he go through with the divorce formalities?â
If Martin Weiss had not resisted her so much and refused to lift his hypnosis, she would even think Martin Weiss was reluctant to divorce her.
âReluctantâ¦â Kyla laughed sarcastically at herself. She was overthinking.
That man had no feelings for her anymore.
In a mansionâs study, Martin Weissâs fingers gripped the phone hard, almost crushing it.
vict!
