Reclaiming His Runaway Baby Mama 57 Delusional Obsession
Outside the door, Marah heard every word of the conversation inside. Her hands clenched tightly together, a deep sense of resentment bubbling up inside her. She had always believed that whatever she wanted, she would get. She couldn’t accept that she, Marah, wouldn’t be able to win Layson Norman over—so what if he had a child? Her eyes darkened as she moved forward, her steps heavy with determination.Diana came downstairs with Ralph in tow, only to find Richard alone in the living room. Diana still couldn’t shake the discomfort she felt upon seeing him. She had told him countless times not to let Marah live in their house, but he had insisted it was to repay a debt to an old friend, that he had to take care of her daughter. Diana had even argued with him over this before, but to no avail.“Ralph, Grandma will take you out for some delicious food!” Diana said, crouching down to Ralph’s level. Ralph glanced at the atmosphere between the adults, then nodded in agreement. Diana let out a

The room was cluttered, with clothes piled high on the bed. Sweat glistened on Adela’s forehead as she surveyed the chaos around her, realizing just how much stuff she had accumulated. The landlady, startled by the sight, entered with a cup of coffee and paused in surprise.“Do you really have this much stuff?”Adela, hearing the voice, turned around with a helpless smile before accepting the coffee. “I didn’t realize I had this much either. I’m definitely not taking it all back.”“Well, Jennifer is doing a charity sale. If you have things you don’t need, you could donate them.”The landlady suggested, offering a practical solution. Adela nodded. She rarely bought anything, but after living in the UK for five years, her belongings had quietly multiplied. It wasn’t until now that she was overwhelmed by it all.“You continue with the sorting,” the landlady said, waving her hand. “I’m off to watch my soap opera.”When Adela had told her that she would soon be returning to the States, the

Before boarding the plane, Adela sent a message to Herbie, telling her that after five years, she was finally leaving this place. The feeling was different from when she first arrived. Back then, her heart was full of anxiety, but now, she felt gratitude. This place had allowed her to become a new version of herself, and it was with a smile that she was now leaving.Herbie received the message that Adela had boarded the plane and smiled happily. She had finally waited for her sister to return. Over the past five years, she had lived comfortably at Grandma Anderson's house, but every day, she longed for Adela's return, hoping that they could live together again.Herbie walked out of her room, and there was a large table full of food prepared by Grandma Anderson. She knew that today was the day Adela would return and likely take her away, so Grandma Anderson would be left behind. A sense of reluctance and sadness filled her heart. Grandma Anderson's husband, Professor Anderson, had pass

Spring in New York was warm, with sunshine softer than in the UK, blending with the breeze and gently falling over everything. As Adela stepped off the plane, she was greeted by that familiar sunshine. It felt warm, a comforting presence that reminded her of home.Dressed in a long, elegant dress, Adela stood tall in the center of the airport. She removed her sunglasses, revealing her meticulously done makeup and confident smile. Her distinctive aura caught the attention of several passersby. She glanced around, seemingly searching for something—or rather, someone."Adela!"The voice was unmistakable, and without thinking, Adela turned around. There, running toward her with open arms, was her younger sister, Herbie. Herbie had grown taller over the years, now reaching Adela’s chest, which took Adela by surprise. It was a testament to how much time had passed."Herbie!"For the first time in five years, the two sisters embraced. There was a mixture of emotions they couldn’t quite expre

Liam Walton stepped out of his bedroom, carefully closing the door behind him. Ever since Evelyn became pregnant, she had been unusually tired and emotionally unstable, so Liam had just spent some time soothing her to sleep. Since admitting his feelings for Evelyn, it had taken him a long time to win her forgiveness. After that, their life together had been sweet, and he often boasted to Layson Norman about his happy married life.After moving back to the Walton family, Evelyn continued with her design work, focusing on her passion for wedding dress design. She even started her own studio and brand, and Liam had helped her along the way. However, once Evelyn became pregnant, Liam insisted that she stop working and focus on resting at home. Evelyn, of course, was frustrated by this and had argued with him several times. But after he reassured her, she reluctantly agreed, though she still spent her time sketching designs. One thing that made her happy was how much Liam cared for her now

After settling into their hotel, Adela and Herbie went out for dinner. It was their first meal together in five years, so Adela felt it needed to have a sense of ceremony. They searched for a while and eventually found a Chinese restaurant, both of them silently nodding in agreement.Though they didn’t have many good memories in New York, they both cherished the time they spent together as sisters, even though those years were more often filled with tears and disappointments. But life always remembers the beauty hidden within the toughest moments. During those years, five-year-old Herbie would comfort Adela, and Adela, in turn, would do everything for her younger sister.“What do you want to eat?”Adela handed the menu to Herbie, who eagerly scanned it. The dishes listed were all so familiar to them that they couldn’t help but salivate at the thought. They ordered a variety of dishes, almost as if they were going to eat everything they had missed in New York."How have you been in the

At the hotel, Adela was sitting cross-legged on the couch, a laptop open in front of her and a notebook in her hands, jotting down notes. She’d been back for a few days, still staying at the hotel, but she was determined to find a place soon. The plan was to get Herbie moved in with her as quickly as possible.Adela had earned a decent amount of money while in the UK, so supporting the two of them wouldn’t be an issue. Once that was settled, she was planning to find a job. Eric had even written her a recommendation letter, so she wasn’t too worried about it. But right now, her focus was on finding a place to live.The door opened and in came Herbie, fresh from school. For the past few days, Herbie had been coming straight to Adela’s hotel after school, and Adela would walk her back to the Anderson family’s house in the evening. It wasn’t that the hotel couldn’t accommodate both of them; it was just that Adela felt it was better for Herbie to stay with the Andersons a little longer. Af

Layson Norman walked over to Ralph’s bed, giving his head a gentle pat. His face remained as expressionless as ever, but Ralph knew his father wasn’t angry. Layson tucked Ralph in, about to leave the room, but just as he reached for the door, he heard Ralph’s voice."Go get Mom back."Ralph said this without looking up, pulling the blanket over his head. Layson paused, his hand hovering over the door handle. He let out a small sigh, his lips curving into a wry smile before softly closing the door behind him.Layson had thought about this very request. After entering his study, he sank into the chair, lost in thought. He knew exactly what he felt for Adela now, but this time, he wasn’t sure if he could make it happen. Reaching into his desk drawer, he pulled out a sketch. It was something he’d kept safe for a long time.The sketch depicted a necklace with a pendant shaped like a butterfly. But the butterfly was unusual—it had one broken wing. On the other wing, though, were sparkling g

Gina drove like she had something to prove. A few sharp brakes later, Adela was already feeling a bit nauseous. She’d gotten used to Layson’s steady, smooth driving—anyone else behind the wheel just didn’t feel right anymore.“That girl back there—your friend?” Gina glanced over at Adela in the passenger seat, a little too casually.Adela really wished she’d focus on the road instead of looking around like that. It was dangerous.“She’s not a friend. Just someone I know,” Adela replied coolly after a beat.Gina didn’t seem to mind her tone and just kept talking.It was mostly Gina chatting the whole way, and Adela occasionally tossing in a single-word reply. But Gina’s enthusiasm didn’t waver a bit.In less than twenty minutes, they pulled up to a lavish-looking villa. Adela followed Gina in, watching her ring the bell. A housekeeper answered and led them upstairs.They stepped into a massive rooftop lounge—easily over 5,000 square feet—with everything from arcade machines to karaoke.
Reclaiming His Runaway Baby Mama 225 The Gathering
Thanks to the recent jewelry showcase, Adela was finally starting to make a name for herself in the American jewelry design scene.Now, when the media mentioned her, they didn’t just refer to her as Layson’s girlfriend anymore—she was officially a rising young jewelry designer.But Layson? He hadn’t been in a great mood the past couple of days.Ever since they came back from the showcase, he’d been brooding. Adela had lived with him long enough to tell when something was off, even if he didn’t say a word. His moods weren’t exactly subtle.That night, she curled up next to him on the couch, resting her head on his shoulder while they watched an old movie from over a decade ago.Because of work, they barely had time to go to the movies together, so when they could squeeze it in at home, Layson always tried to make time for it.The room was quiet except for the dialogue from the screen. Adela tilted her head, looking at him. He was obviously in a funk, but he was still sitting there with
Reclaiming His Runaway Baby Mama 224 Interception
The gown Adela had hung up last night was still in the same position. Only now, it was covered in long, jagged slashes—visible to the naked eye.She heard Evelyn calling her name from behind, but she felt like she was submerged in ice-cold water, barely able to breathe. Her hand was frozen in place before the wardrobe, body rooted to the ground like she’d been nailed there.Evelyn waited a while and, not getting a response, rushed over. When she looked up and saw the destroyed dresses, she gasped in shock.Their commotion drew others over, including the event organizer, who came to check in. The second he saw the ruined gown, his expression turned pitch-black.“Who did this?! Get them out here—now!” the man exploded. In a matter of seconds, he was cursing nonstop, not even repeating a single word.Adela was supposed to be the final showstopper of the night. Her gown getting trashed? That was a massive slap in the face to the organizers.Evelyn was the first to recover. She immediately
Reclaiming His Runaway Baby Mama 223 Sabotage
Adela had been busy for days—trying on gowns, learning to walk the runway, practicing expressions and stage presence. She was basically training like a pro model.Normally, Layson would just drop her off and leave, but today, he happened to run into Liam Walton at the venue. He wasn’t too busy, so he decided to tag along.“Layson, you probably don’t know this yet,” Liam said, grinning. “The gown Adela’s wearing for the runway? It’s from Evelyn’s studio.”That actually surprised Layson.Barnes, ever the well-timed assistant, added, “This show’s a big deal in the jewelry world. Evelyn’s studio collaborating on this is proof of their talent.”Liam had heard tons of compliments before, but coming from Barnes? That hit different—because everyone knew Barnes usually spoke on behalf of Layson.He grinned ear to ear, looking proud as hell, like his wife had just won an Olympic gold. Meanwhile, Layson looked completely uninterested in the bragging. Instead, he walked straight toward Adela’s dr

Barnes stared at Lily, who looked totally off—there was something more going on. He waved for someone to take Marah away, then turned back to Lily and asked calmly, “I don’t believe in coincidences. If someone’s threatening you, just say it. You won’t have to deal with the consequences.”Lily hesitated. For a split second, it looked like she might break. But then she clenched her jaw and took full responsibility.Barnes could see she was dead set on protecting Marah, which only made him more wary of that woman. Marah clearly played this game too well.They handed Lily over to the police for spreading false rumors—and she didn’t say a word the whole time.On the other end of the line, Barnes reported everything to Layson. Layson listened quietly, cigarette between his fingers, brows furrowed slightly when he heard Lily was willing to go to jail for Marah.After a long silence, he finally said, “Have someone follow Marah. Don’t alert her.”Out on the balcony, the tip of his cigarette gl

Adela took a deep breath, trying to steady her voice. “Richard was right there when it happened. How could that photo be real? Someone’s clearly trying to frame me.”Gina looked like she wasn’t totally buying it. She leaned in closer to the phone screen and squinted. “Huh... actually, now that you mention it, if you zoom in, you can see a hospital bed between you two.”Her tone was a weird mix—was she more disappointed or entertained? Even Adela couldn’t tell.Gina scrolled casually through her feed and laughed. “Honestly, I thought if even someone like Mr. Norman gets cheated on, that’s just tragic.”Adela rubbed her forehead and immediately called Layson. He picked up almost instantly.“Layson... something’s happened.”Her tone was exasperated but still held a trace of something softer—maybe even a bit of helpless affection. Gina, watching from the side, sighed. That should’ve been me.Layson got there fast. He didn’t waste any time on small talk. He walked in calm and composed, voi
Reclaiming His Runaway Baby Mama 220 The Cheating Scandal
The whole incident with Richard’s car accident had been quietly handled by Layson. After all, the Norman Group was a publicly traded company. Richard might not have been in charge, but he was still a shareholder.Any news about his health could shake the stock price. Suppressing it was his own idea too.Layson’s own gossip, though? That wouldn’t touch the market. That’s why, no matter how much Richard disliked Adela, he never seriously made things hard for her.In his eyes, it was just his son’s personal drama. As long as it didn’t mess with the stock, it was nothing serious.Publicly announcing a girlfriend? That was a private family issue—nothing to do with the company.The middle-aged man Layson had greeted earlier—Jason—chuckled when he heard that explanation, then turned his gaze to Adela and patted Layson on the shoulder.“Man, ever since you popped up on TV a couple weeks back, all the young ladies have been crying their eyes out.”Jason had made his fortune overseas years ago

Marah sat at the edge of the bed, watching Lily’s unconscious face with a smile that never quite reached her eyes.She slowly spread out her fingers, admiring her freshly manicured nails, and murmured to herself, “You once said I go to great lengths for little gain... But tell me, doesn’t this look like a fine result? You’re lying right here, exactly where I wanted you.”The sun dipped low in the sky, painting the room in shadows. The light dimmed into dusk. Just then, her phone buzzed from inside her handbag—it was a call from Bard.Marah blinked as if waking from a trance, quickly drew the heavy curtains tight to ensure no light leaked in. She checked Lily’s breathing, then pulled out a small vial of incense and placed it by the bed.Only after making sure Lily wouldn’t wake soon did she return Bard’s call.He had the candlelit dinner ready and was waiting downstairs.Marah left the top-floor presidential suite and made her way to the second-floor private dining room. Bard stood the

It was just past ten in the evening when Layson returned to the apartment from the Norman estate.The moment he stepped through the door, the warm glow of the soft lighting melted some of the cold edges from his heart. On the sofa, Adela was video-chatting with Herbie on her phone.Months of rehab had done wonders for the little girl. Her once pale and fragile face now carried a healthy glow. Though the process was tough, Herbie had inherited Adela’s unyielding resilience. Every call home, she masked her pain with joy. If it weren’t for the nurse Layson had hired to stay with her, they would never have known how often Herbie cried into her pillow at night.When Adela found out, it had broken her. She was determined to keep Herbie hopeful. Every phone call was filled with encouragement, silly stories, and laughter. Herbie always hung up smiling.As soon as Layson sat down, Herbie spotted him through the screen and grinned. “Layson! You came to see my sister!”She didn’t yet know that t
