Reclaiming His Runaway Baby Mama 147 A Drunken Kiss
In LA, the chandelier in the private room cast a bright light over the scene. The atmosphere was thick with the smell of alcohol and the sound of clinking glasses. This was a typical business dinner, filled with politicians and influential figures all vying for Layson Norman's favor."Mr. Norman, you're the most renowned businessman in New York. To achieve such success at such a young age is truly admirable. I toast to you!" A portly man raised his glass toward Layson, who sat expressionless throughout the evening. Layson picked up his glass and downed the drink in one go, offering no words in response. The man stood awkwardly for a moment before sitting back down, forcing a smile.The dinner dragged on, with people continuously trying to engage Layson in conversation. Yet, he remained silent, his face dark and unreadable. He drank every toast offered to him, but his demeanor was cold and distant. Everyone found his behavior strange, but no one dared to confront him. The fact that he

Adela sat on the couch in her dimly lit living room, her fingers lightly touching her still-warm lips. The taste of Layson lingered, leaving her heart in a state of confusion. She hadn’t turned on the lights, and the shadows around her mirrored the haziness in her mind. Last night’s events replayed in her head—Layson’s sudden appearance, his forceful kiss, and the way he had left without a word. Despite the chaos, there was a fleeting moment where Adela had felt something she couldn’t quite name.By the time dawn broke, Adela was still sitting on the couch, unable to bring herself to return to bed. The past two days had been a whirlwind of emotions, and she couldn’t shake the feeling that her life was spiraling out of control. As sunlight filtered into the room, the shadows receded, and Adela finally took in her surroundings, her thoughts still tangled.Meanwhile, Layson had also spent the night awake. His car had remained parked outside Adela’s apartment complex, the engine silent as

Marah had returned home yesterday, only to hear Ralph excitedly telling everyone about his day at the amusement park with his "mom." No matter where she went, it seemed Adela was always there, stealing the spotlight. Frustrated, Marah pulled out her phone and looked at the photos she had taken of Adela and Dexter. She was consumed by jealousy—Adela not only had Layson's attention but also seemed close to Dexter.Marah had always wanted to be the center of attention, but Adela's presence overshadowed her at every turn. Despite living in the Norman household, Marah felt invisible compared to Adela, who had never even set foot in the house yet seemed to dominate everyone's thoughts.When Marah saw Layson storming into the house this morning, she knew it was because he had found out about Dexter and Adela spending time together. She hid outside the door, eavesdropping, trying to understand what made Adela so special that she could cause such a rift between the two brothers.In her jealous

Marah walked for what felt like hours, her energy completely drained. Sweat drenched her hair, and her once meticulously applied makeup was now smudged and ruined. Her eyes were vacant, her mind a whirlwind of emotions. She had been foolish to believe that Layson might show her even a hint of kindness. He had never paid her any attention, yet he had gone out of his way to confront her because of Adela."Adela, you're really something! Hahaha... really something!" Marah laughed bitterly, her voice echoing in the empty wilderness.Her disheveled hair fluttered in the wind, and her sunburned face had a haunting, almost tragic beauty. But her beauty had always gone unnoticed. Her once bright eyes now darkened with resentment. In this desolate place, Marah's hatred for Adela grew deeper—not just because of Layson, but also because of the years of neglect and humiliation she had endured in the Norman household.……Meanwhile, in the Walton family, things were far from peaceful.

The red light above the operating room continued to glow, casting an eerie hue over the silent hallway. Evelyn sat on a chair, her hands resting on her belly, her mind replaying the horrifying moment when Old Mr. Walton had tumbled down the stairs. She was still in shock, her heart racing as she tried to steady her breathing.Layson stood nearby, having just finished a call with the hospital director. He glanced at Evelyn, who looked pale and shaken. It was fortunate that he had been at the hospital today; otherwise, Evelyn would have been left to face this crisis alone. He walked over to her, his presence a small comfort in the tense atmosphere."Don't worry too much. The director is in the operating room. He'll be fine," Layson said, his voice calm and reassuring.Evelyn looked up at him, her eyes filled with gratitude. She nodded slightly, her voice barely above a whisper. "Thank you."The hallway was eerily quiet, the only sounds being their breathing and the faint hum of the hosp

In the vast, quiet office space, the presence of the two individuals seemed almost insignificant. Layson stood silently in front of Adela, observing her as she worked. He had never seen her in the midst of creation before. Strands of hair fell loosely by her ears, framing her focused expression. Layson felt an unfamiliar itch in his throat as he watched her, eventually reaching out to tap lightly on her desk.Startled, Adela looked up, her eyes widening in surprise. "What are you doing here?" she asked, her voice a mix of confusion and apprehension.Layson's expression remained unreadable. "The Walton family is in trouble. I came to pick you up."Adela's eyes widened further, her mind struggling to process his words. She hadn't heard anything about the Walton family recently. Despite her reluctance to return to the family, she knew they cared deeply for her. She had only met Liam and Evelyn, but their kindness had made it clear that they were giving her time to adjust."What happened?

The air in the hospital room was warmer than outside. The only sound in the room was the hum of the humidifier. Adela stood by the bedside, unsure of how she was feeling. She kept rubbing her purse nervously, her eyes staring blankly, filled with an inexplicable sense of unfamiliarity.“Do you think he’ll wake up?” Adela asked softly.Even though she didn’t feel any special attachment to this relative, the situation felt heavy. Meeting him for the first time like this left her feeling strangely emotional.“The doctor said we just have to wait,” Liam replied, standing beside her. This might be his biggest regret – bringing Adela here to meet her relative under these circumstances. He glanced at her, sensing that she still wasn’t ready to accept it. He unconsciously squeezed her hand, understanding her inner conflict.They stayed at the hospital until 10 PM, and Mr. Walton still hadn't woken up. Layson also stayed with Adela, sitting by her side, occasionally talking with Liam. Layson n

The car had been parked downstairs for a while. Layson Norman stuck his left hand out the window, holding a cigarette between his fingers. The cool breeze of the summer night whipped through the air, brushing against both of them like a cold, silent reminder of the distance growing between them.“We should take some time to cool down. I haven’t figured out what I want from this relationship yet,” Adela said softly, her gaze fixed ahead. She wasn’t avoiding the issue, but she knew they needed a break. Talking things through with Layson was the only way she could think of to handle the situation. They had both acted impulsively lately, and now they needed time to think about what to do next.“Mm.”Layson glanced at Adela as he nodded, feeling a mix of frustration and resignation. He had done so much, and this was the answer he got? It stung deeply—nothing had ever left him feeling this drained before. Maybe it was time to really step back and think things through.Hearing his response,

In the meeting room, Layson's gaze remained fixed on Adela, unnoticed by anyone else except for Cici, who was closely observing the subtle interaction.However, Marah couldn't help but scoff softly. When she saw that Layson had eyes only for Adela without sparing her even a glance, she felt a surge of jealousy. Taking a deep breath, she managed to suppress her irritation.As soon as the meeting ended, Marah approached Adela, feigning gentleness, her face adorned with a friendly smile.Cici, who had been keeping an eye on Adela the whole time, immediately noticed her low spirits after leaving the meeting room. Before Cici could ask, she was astonished to see Adela actually inviting Marah out for dinner, leaving her feeling irritated.But Adela seemed determined, smiling softly at Marah, "How about dinner tonight? It's my treat."Marah was still pretending innocence, gently nodding her head with a sweet smile. "Sure, I'd love to!"Cici couldn't hold back her dissatisfaction. Seeing Adel

Worried?Adela wasn't sure herself."If I said no, I'd probably be lying," Adela replied honestly. "But there's no point worrying. Let's just finish our autumn designs quickly; maybe the new boss will appreciate our work."Hearing that, Cici nodded seriously. "True. I should get back to work, then."Adela continued adjusting the details of her designs, fully absorbed until almost five in the afternoon when her phone buzzed lightly on the table. Glancing down, she saw a message from Layson."Let's have dinner together. I'll wait for you downstairs."Seeing his message instantly lifted her spirits, chasing away the gloom that had been hanging over her all day. She quickly typed a reply.Just as she was packing up, Marah walked over to her desk with a friendly smile. "Adela, do you remember last time when I mentioned having dinner together? Are you free tonight?"Adela was a little surprised. She hadn't expected Marah to be serious about that offer. But she'd already agreed to meet Layso

She hadn't slept the entire night.When the sunlight finally poured through the window, illuminating every corner of the room, Cora’s dry eyes immediately filled with tears. She sat motionless on the sofa, like a lifeless doll, completely oblivious to her surroundings.Ever since seeing Leopold’s lifeless body, her heart had stopped beating too.The doorbell rang repeatedly, more than a dozen times before she finally regained some awareness. Slowly, she dragged her heavy feet towards the door, stumbling a bit as she opened it.Outside, Adela was anxiously pressing the doorbell with one hand, holding breakfast in the other. The worry in her clear eyes was unmistakable.When the door finally opened, Adela visibly breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing Cora’s pale face, cracked lips, and red, swollen eyes, Adela felt a sharp pain in her heart. She quickly supported Cora and guided her gently to the dining table.Firmly placing her weak friend into the chair, Adela spoke clearly and earnestly,
Reclaiming His Runaway Baby Mama 197 Whose Fault?
Looking at the lifeless body lying there covered in blood, Cora could no longer hear the voices around her. No matter how much Mrs. Davis cursed or blamed her, Cora didn’t care anymore.She moved slowly toward the man lying motionless on the hospital bed. Mrs. Davis noticed her movement and immediately began shouting, "Stay away from my son! You have no right to touch him!"Mrs. Davis rushed forward, pulling Cora away from Leopold's side. She even raised her hand to strike her, but Layson quickly stepped in and stopped her."I'll handle this. Stay here and don’t move," Layson instructed Adela gently. He was worried Mrs. Davis, in her current state, would harm Adela as well.Cora didn't even notice how she’d reached Leopold's bedside; she just stared blankly at his pale face. Mrs. Davis grabbed Cora's arm so forcefully that she nearly lost her balance, trying desperately to get closer to her son again."Don't touch him! You're not allowed near him anymore!" Mrs. Davis screamed hysteric
Reclaiming His Runaway Baby Mama 196 Death in a Car Accident
"Adela, did you find Cora?" Layson’s familiar voice came through the phone, filling Adela with an unexpected longing."Yes, I found her. She’s with me," Adela replied softly.It took a moment before Layson continued, his voice unusually hoarse, clearly unwilling to speak of the tragedy. "Leopold Davis had an accident. He died in a car crash."The instant Adela heard this news, her first reaction was to look at Cora. The news was so shocking, so sudden, that it left her frozen in place. She'd just heard Cora express how she'd been waiting for Leopold to come to her, but now he was gone forever."Cora…" Adela called gently, unsure how to break such terrible news. Her heart ached deeply, knowing this revelation would devastate her friend."Where are you now? I'll come pick you both up," Layson's voice came again through the phone, steady yet heavy with sadness.For a moment, Adela didn't know how to respond. The news had completely overwhelmed her, but she quickly regained her composure
Reclaiming His Runaway Baby Mama 195 Finding Cora
Early morning rain had left the old-fashioned street wet. Adela walked slowly along the road, her gaze drifting around uncertainly. It was her first time visiting this village.She had first heard about this place from Cora. This village was where Cora grew up and also where she'd first met Leopold Davis. So, when Cora disappeared, Adela immediately thought of coming here. Yet she wasn't certain if she'd really find Cora here.Although the village was small, locating one person wasn't exactly easy. Adela had been wandering for a while without any luck and was almost ready to give up when she suddenly spotted Cora sitting quietly on a small wooden bridge across a stream, her feet dangling in the clear water. She wore an absent-minded expression, seemingly lost in thought.Seeing her, Adela sighed with relief. She paused briefly, then walked towards the bridge and gently called out, "Cora!"Cora turned around slowly upon hearing someone call her name. When she recognized Adela, she seem
Reclaiming His Runaway Baby Mama 194 Move in with Me
Early morning.When Adela opened her eyes, Layson was already gone. Bright sunlight streamed into the room, and she instinctively raised her hand to shield her eyes from the harsh rays. She wasn't sure how long she'd been asleep—her legs felt weak, and she didn't have the energy to sit up just yet.At that moment, the door opened, and Layson appeared wearing casual home clothes. Seeing Adela awake, he smiled warmly. "You're awake? Why didn't you sleep a bit longer—you were exhausted last night."As he spoke, he walked over and sat at the edge of the bed, affectionately running his fingers through her messy hair. Adela shot him an annoyed glare, thinking bitterly how he was responsible for her exhaustion, yet still dared to tease her about it.Seeing her blush, Layson chuckled softly, finding her embarrassment incredibly cute. The shy expression she'd worn last night was still vivid in his mind. "Come on, breakfast is ready."After saying that, he stood up. Adela tried moving her legs
Reclaiming His Runaway Baby Mama 193 Spending the Night at His Apartment
Adela followed behind Layson until they reached the door of his apartment. She stared blankly at her hand, which was being gently held by him, and suddenly wondered how she'd ended up here with him. She tugged her hand away awkwardly and murmured, "Um…Layson, maybe I should go home."But since they'd already come this far, Layson wasn't going to let her leave now. Before Adela could react, he'd already pulled her inside, quickly closing the door behind them and wrapping his arms tightly around her waist. She felt his breath, warm and slightly rough, brushing gently against her ear. "Why so shy? It's not like this is your first time here."The dark room was faintly illuminated by lights from outside. Standing just inside the door, they remained in a warm embrace, creating an atmosphere filled with undeniable intimacy. Adela tried pushing him away softly. "Let go of me!"Layson didn't respond to her protests, instead chuckling quietly. "Didn't you say you missed me? Don't you think you
Reclaiming His Runaway Baby Mama 192 Layson, I Miss You So Much
After parting ways with Cici, Adela didn't hail a cab home. Instead, she chose to walk alone along the street. Lost in thought, she wandered aimlessly, unaware of where she was heading. Just as she was drifting away into her thoughts, her phone suddenly rang, snapping her back to reality.“Hello?” she answered softly.A familiar voice spoke from the other end of the call. Today, hearing his voice at this particular moment felt strangely comforting, like stepping onto solid ground after floating in the clouds. "Where are you?" Layson asked gently."I'm..." She hesitated for a second, "I'm still near the company, on the street."He frowned slightly, glancing out his window. It was already dark outside. "It's late; why aren't you home yet?"His voice carried a hint of authority, but tonight, Adela found it oddly comforting instead of domineering. She bit her lip and smiled shyly, feeling playful and unusually bold. "Layson, I miss you so much."On the other end, Layson was momentarily ta
