Reclaiming His Runaway Baby Mama 59 Wandering Thoughts
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.

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

"Ralph, Mr. Norman asked me to take you back to the Norman residence. He’ll be there shortly."Barnes explained to Ralph, then gave instructions to the driver, who quickly changed course. Ralph had no idea what Layson Norman was planning, but he was certain that whatever Layson was doing, there was a reason behind it. Right now, all Ralph wanted was to meet his mother, Adela. There were so many things he wanted to say to her.After hanging up the phone, Layson realized that there were still two department heads waiting for him. "You two go ahead and finish up the proposal. Send it to me when it’s done," he instructed.Although the two department heads were confused, they didn’t dare to ask any further questions. Layson’s temper was unpredictable, and they had learned over time that it was better to just follow his instructions. After a respectful bow, they left the office quickly, eager to avoid getting on his bad side.Ralph was soon delivered to the Norman villa, his expression down

Layson Norman’s words hung in the air, and after he spoke, he fell silent. Diana was visibly shocked, her mouth slightly ajar as she stared at him, waiting for him to explain further. Richard, however, remained calm. He knew Ralph was aware of Adela and that meeting her was inevitable—it was just a matter of how Layson would arrange it.“Has she come back?” Richard asked with a serious tone, his voice carrying a certain weight. He didn’t have much of an impression of Adela. The first time they met, something unpleasant had occurred. Although it wasn’t directly her fault, it was because of her that things had escalated.Afterwards, Adela went abroad, leaving the child behind without a care. Richard was still bothered by that. While the Norman family could easily support a child like Ralph and give him the best life, Richard had reservations about Adela’s background. If word got out about how Ralph came to be, it would certainly cause a stir.Diana, on the other hand, didn’t think the s

Adela’s first instinct was honestly to get rid of the baby.For one, she and Layson weren’t married yet—she was just his publicly acknowledged girlfriend. And having a child out of wedlock was still something she hadn’t fully come to terms with.She wasn’t ready to go through that kind of thing again.What she feared even more was if Layson decided to propose just because she was pregnant. They were still working through their relationship. Getting married for the baby wasn’t the future she wanted.Layson’s grip on her arm tightened. She looked up at him, her voice barely hiding a trace of sorrow. “Can you just give me a couple of days to think about it?”That one line cut through Layson like a knife.He didn’t understand. Their relationship had been solid. Why was Adela so unwilling to have a child with him? Did it mean she never intended to, even after marriage?That thought hit him like a chain around his neck, tightening with every second.He held her close but didn’t say a word.

Lily’s mind was all over the place. She stared at the man in front of her, someone who seemed almost god-like, then finally dropped her gaze and whispered, “It wasn’t her who told me to do it.”Even Barnes was shocked.“Lily, seriously? You’re telling me you came up with all that on your own? That’s wild.”He looked at her with exasperation. Honestly, he couldn’t understand what kind of dark magic Marah had over people. First Richard, now Lily—they both let themselves be used like pawns.But Lily spoke again, this time even firmer. “I did everything. It was me alone.”Layson, holding Adela in his arms, didn’t move. He just stared coldly at the woman kneeling on the floor. “Why?”Lily bit back her pain, slowly raised her head, and looked at him with a bitter, broken smile. “Because I was jealous. Why does she get to be by your side? Why won’t you even look at me? I miss you so much, it’s driven me insane. The only way I could see you... was through Adela.”The room fell into heavy sile

Cici was buzzing with excitement as she got home from work on Friday. The weekend was finally here! She fired up her computer and dove into a game, but something felt off—like she was missing something important.From the kitchen, her mom hollered, “Are you just gonna sit there playing all day? Come help out!”Cici grumbled and stepped out of her room. Her little brother darted out of his own room, hand outstretched.“Gimme your phone! Your game account's way better—I need to crush my classmates this time.”She rummaged through her bag and realized her phone was missing. Panic set in—so many accounts were linked to that phone.Ignoring her mom’s yelling, she dashed out to check the car. Still no sign of it. Desperate, she drove back to the office. The place was empty, but there it was—her phone, lying quietly on her desk.“Thank goodness,” she sighed in relief. She unlocked it with a quick Z-pattern swipe and checked for missed calls. Nothing. She pocketed the phone, turned off the li

Juliet walked over with a glass of red wine and smiled sweetly at Layson. “Mr. Norman, since you’re already here, why not stay a bit longer?”Adela glanced at Juliet, speechless. What was this woman, some kind of wine-serving hostess?Carl was staring straight at her, making her feel uncomfortable all over. Adela had no clue what was going through his mind, but she didn’t want to stir up any drama and was ready to decline whatever he had in mind.Then Mia suddenly spoke up. “Your grandma gets a bunch of jewelry every year for her birthday. You sure you wanna give her another piece?”She was asking Carl, but her eyes were locked on Adela.Adela tightened her grip on Layson’s hand. His warm, dry touch grounded her instantly.She looked up at Carl. He took a sip from his glass, lazy and casual, then tilted his head toward Mia and said, “My grandma dotes on me. Doesn’t matter what I give her, she’ll love it. Don’t you think?”Mia bit her lip, clearly caught off guard. She looked flustered

For a moment, a flicker of awkwardness flashed across Gina’s face, but she quickly returned to her usual flirtatious charm.She let go of the man’s arm with a lazy smile and said, “You're a guest, Adela. No need to be shy. I heard from Gina you two are good friends.”Adela frowned. She really couldn’t understand all the scheming behind these people’s fake smiles.Gina pulled her aside and handed her a glass of juice. “There’s still time before you have to head back to work. You came here to deliver the design draft for me, so I’m sure you’ve already told your company. Don’t worry.”The guy with the punk outfit also came over. He seemed to enjoy sticking close to Adela, and no one even batted an eye at it.He raised a cocktail glass and clinked it against her juice. “I’m Zach. Nice to meet you.”Adela figured she wouldn’t be getting out of here easily, so she just nodded politely. “Adela. Nice to meet you.”“I already know who you are,” Zach grinned as he set his drink down and rested

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.

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

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
