Reclaiming His Runaway Baby Mama 61 I Don’t Want to Go Back to the Norman Family
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

Layson didn't need anyone’s approval to do what he had already decided. No one could change his mind once it was set. He had come today to take Ralph with him—his secret weapon. If he wanted to win Adela back, Ralph would be the key.Hearing that Layson was taking Ralph away, Marah felt an immediate wave of unease. It wasn’t just about what had happened earlier—she was afraid of missing another chance. Summoning her courage, she took a few hesitant steps forward. Even as she stood in front of him, she couldn’t bring herself to meet his gaze."Layson, I need to talk to you."Layson glanced at her, his expression unreadable. He had always been indifferent toward Marah. Though she had lived in the Norman family home for years, she had never once truly caught his attention. The only reason he had noticed her recently was because of the growing complaints from Ralph and Diana. That was when he finally realized Marah harbored feelings for him."What is it?"His tone was as cold as ever, mak

Adela followed the assistant into the office, where a man sat at his desk. He had a refined, scholarly look—not exactly what she expected from a jewelry designer. There was something about him, though—a quiet dominance beneath the polished exterior. As soon as she stepped inside, he lifted his gaze, a subtle smirk playing on his lips."Adela, welcome. I'm Leopold Davis, the creative director at Starry Jewelry."Adela extended her hand confidently, and as they shook, she felt a slight but noticeable firmness in his grip. Was it just her imagination, or had he held on just a second longer than necessary?Once they were seated, she slid her portfolio across the desk. "Mr. Davis, here’s my resume and design samples."Leopold took it with an easy smile, flipping through the pages with genuine interest. "Impressive background. Honestly, someone with your experience could easily go to one of the larger international brands."She smiled modestly. "You flatter me, Mr. Davis. Most of my opportu

Reclaiming His Runaway Baby Mama 200 Doubts in Her Heart
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
Reclaiming His Runaway Baby Mama 198 Everything Has Changed
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

"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

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
