The Mysterious Playboy’s Thirst for Love Chapter 29: Farewell
“Laura, don’t be impulsive. Allen and Jackson are meeting Prosecutor Hale… You can’t just do this!”Laura barged into the private dining room in a restaurant in Lieren with her lawyer, Atty. Chen.BAM!The sound of the door slamming surprised the people inside the room. The waiters, serving the dishes paused to take a look at Laura’s glaring eyes. Allen sprung up from his seat upon seeing his ex-wife. “Laura—“Laura furiously cut his words as she pointed at him. “You! How dare you!”“How dare you do this to my daughter?!”She scanned the entire room and saw Jackson who was sitting next to Allen. “And you—“She quickly grabbed a glass of water before pouring it to Jackson. “You’re as filthy as your son!”Crestfallen, Jackson wasn’t able to move after being soaked in ice-cold water. He did not expect that the famously cold businesswoman would do this kind of thing. He knew her as someone serious and composed. Doing something like this is so out of her character. “LAURA!” Allen yelled
The Mysterious Playboy’s Thirst for Love Chapter 30: Last Day
“Leila, please don’t do this to us…”“I know I was lacking, but I don’t understand why you’re cutting me off… I mean I only raised my voice to you once, because you were so busy with your iPad—but I will never go beyond that!”“You know—I promise!”Leila stared blankly at the handsome man, who was earnestly explaining his reasons to her. His beard made him look extra masculine, match that with his beautiful physique. “I really like you, Leila... Please save this relationship…”She swirled the glass of wine as she listened to him. Nikolai was such a sweet guy. He was not only a gentleman but also had a good sense of humor. Too bad…Leila took a sip of her glass of wine as she glanced at the scenery from a rooftop bar in Montmartre. The city lights were nothing compared to the twinkling lights that she could see from the Eiffel Tower right now. “Leila… Please listen to me…”Nikolai tried to get her attention as he reached out to touch her face. However, Lela quickly dodged it. She w
The Mysterious Playboy’s Thirst for Love Chapter 31: Hometown
A woman with pinkish fair skin tucked her platinum blonde short hair behind her ears. Her bloody red nails matched the color of her pouty lips. Her light brown eyes were almost golden yellow because of the rays of the sun hitting them. Her aura was charming and seductive. A total head-turner. She took a sip of a glass of pinot noir as she glanced out of the window. Her heart pounded as she saw the sunny skies of her hometown from outside the window.“Ladies and gentlemen, we have successfully landed in Centriona International Airport. Centriona Airlines welcomes you to the country’s capital, Lieren City…”Lieren City. It has been years and finally, she’s back. She felt all sorts of emotions. She can’t help but recall all the horrid things that happened before she went abroad. She was not dumb. She knows that even the fire that engulfed 40% of their factory has something to do with the Yu and Parker family. After all, how can the Yu family be extremely familiar with the way that th
The Mysterious Playboy’s Thirst for Love Chapter 32: Not A Saint
Leila’s slumped on the large couch in her apartment in Lieren City. She was jet lagged and so the only thing that she wanted to do was to sleep and ignore the world for a week. Unfortunately for her, she cannot do so. She still has a lot of things to deal with. Especially now that she decided to open her atelier. Back in Paris, she was making her dresses in a small apartment. It was messy and unorganized. And so she could only accommodate a few clients. Now, she’s taking a bold step to scale up her business. It was such a big decision to make. After all, she’s no longer working a regular job, she now has to run her atelier. At first, she was a little hesitant. However, with her friend’s encouragement, she decided to proceed to build her dream atelier. She bought an old house near her apartment in the city center. Her friend, Phylian, already coordinated with his friend, Architect Maxwell Yang of YJL Corporation to take charge of the construction of her studio. She was very specifi
The Mysterious Playboy’s Thirst for Love Chapter 33: Most Eligible Bachelors
East CityLeila waited inside her favorite ramen shop a few streets away from their old high school. It was also near Rui’s workplace at the University of Centriona. The place was packed with students who were eating affordable student meals. It was a good thing that a table was available, so she quickly placed her tote bag on top of it to save it for her and Rui. She casually left her bag and gift bags on the table before going to the counter to order ramen. “One shoyu and tonkatsu ramen, please.”After paying for their food, she took the table number before placing it on their table. The only thing left now is the waiting game. She knows that their order will take a while because of the volume of people in the shop today. She was even confident that Rui would arrive earlier than their food. In the meantime, she busied herself by browsing on her phone. Her news feeds still showed her Lianna’s face about three times now and the boy group, Luna’s latest activities. Her social media

Rui smirked. “A friend you say…”“Let’s see…”She thought about Taylor Lown, her husband’s energetic friend. He owns and manages GEM Entertainment. Her cousin, Zacharias Lohr is a talent under Gem Entertainment. So she knows a few stuff about him. She has a good impression of him, so perhaps pairing him and Leila might work…“I know someone… Maybe you can check him out first and then you decide if he’s your type?”Leila’s lips curled into a smile. Rui’s never one to introduce men to her. Rui is very selective. If the guy is not up to Rui’s standards for her then she won’t bother. She doesn’t care who she introduces, she just wants to get to know someone. She was bored to death!It would be great if someone saved her from the deepest ends of boredom. Or—better yet, share it with her.“I like that!”“We can do that after I meet your husband—and also a shopping weekend. How does that sound?”Rui gave her a thumbs up. “Sounds good!”…During the remaining days of the week, she busied h
The Mysterious Playboy’s Thirst for Love Chapter 35: Save her from her own stupidity
The two busied themselves hopping over from store to store. She was helping Rui shop for clothes that she could use for work. Of course, plain blouses and trousers would work. However, Leila wanted to find stylish yet practical clothes for Rui to wear. The last store that they visited was Chanel. Rui was trying on a few bags in front of the mirror to see what color she’d like to get. On the other hand, Leila busied herself by looking at small leather goods. She was trying to look for a new cardholder to use. “What leather are you looking for, Miss?” asked the sales associate. “A lambskin would be nice… And do you have it in red or perhaps blue?”“I’ll take a look. One second, Miss.”“Is that her?”As she waited for the associate, she heard a very familiar voice from behind. She turned around to see who it was. Upon seeing her face, Leila’s mood soured. “Sister, I didn’t recognize you! Your hair is weird so I didn’t notice you!”“I heard you’ve been messing around with the French
The Mysterious Playboy’s Thirst for Love Chapter 36: Finalły meet you
Inside a moody office at the top of a high-rise building in Lieren City’s business center, a man rose from his swivel chair. “Sir, Miss Leila encountered Miss Ayla in the mall earlier today. They have a small argument with you being their topic.”The corners of his lips curled. Hearing Leila argue to Ayla about him elated him. “It seems her attempts to find another man is futile…”“What happened to Nikolai? Did he date the model that we sent?” he asked. His subordinate promptly nodded. “He is, sir.”“See? No men will last for two weeks for her. That’s why she’s labeled as a playgirl. They cannot handle the simple tests I’m sending her men. How can I sleep soundly if I will hand her over to cheating assholes like them?”Julius smirked. All along, he was manipulating Leila’s dating life. As such, Leila was not able to find a stable relationship to settle into. Even though she has a long list of suitors, they are not able to go further with her mainly because of Julius’ interference.

Leila — “Mommy~” Lucienne Lown, my daughter, ran towards me with her arms spread wide. She was wearing a beautiful pink dress that I made for her paired with cute white sandals. “Lucy, don’t run fast!” Taylor Lown, my husband, anxiously ran after our daughter. Yes. Husband. We got married weeks before Lucy was born. Well, it was a shotgun civil wedding. I thought that instead of waiting until Lucienne was born, I just figured we do it before the due date. Of course, Taylor was all for it. He was so quick to arrange the most beautiful ceremony and reception I could ask for in that short amount of time. He did not dilly dally as he was afraid of me changing my mind. His words, not mine! I smiled as spread my arms, hugging Lucienne. “My light…” I kissed her curly hair. “Mommy, can I play with Esme?” Lucienne pointed at Esme, Rui’s daughter, who was walking around the beach with her older brother, Eon. “Sure, darling.” “Daddy, can you accompany Lucy down with Esme
The Mysterious Playboy’s Thirst for Love Chapter 121: Listen To My Side Of Truth
Leila — I got discharged from the hospital a week ago, and I am now staying in my mother’s house upon her insistence. After my parents found out about my pregnancy, they practically threatened me to go home with them. Well, it’s mostly just my mother who threatened me, but my father did worry about letting me live alone after that damn stabbing incident. Every now and then, Taylor would visit the house to talk to my dad about the progress of the investigation. And right now, he’s downstairs talking to them again. Whenever he’s around, I’d pretend to be busy so I have an excuse to not see him. However… “Miss, Ma’am Laura is calling for you. She said she needs you to come down now.” “Tell her I’m busy,” I answered. “But ma’am Laura said she’s not going to take no for an answer…” The maid frightfully ran downstairs, avoiding any of my rejection. “What do they need now?!” I can’t just go down… I can’t see him! But my mother might drag me down if I don’t go down there… Ais
The Mysterious Playboy’s Thirst for Love Chapter 120: Should Have Stayed Away
Taylor — “Thank you, handsome!” An old florist passed a beautiful bouquet of roses to me with a huge smile on her face. “I made it extra pretty for your wife,” she winked. With an image of Leila’s beautiful smile flashing in my mind, I unknowingly smiled. “Thank you. She loves roses.” The florist threw in a few petals of lilies on the side and said, “Well, take this lilies for your daughter.” “I— “Ah, ah, ah! It’s okay, don’t refuse! I want to put a smile on your daughter’s face as well. She must have been burdened on making your wife feel better.” “You should do better, handsome.” Confused with the florist’s vague words, I couldn’t help but frown. Still, it’s not like I have a daughter to make a big deal out of it. I walked out of the flower shop and headed back to my car to drive by Leila’s atelier. After everything that happened, perhaps I can formally court her this time. I’ve been so engrossed with work and helping with Leila’s case that I have put my love on hol
The Mysterious Playboy’s Thirst for Love Chapter 119: I’m The Father
Theodore intimately held Laura’s hands, and with a relieved smile, he said, “I’m so happy that the most important woman of my life gave me a chance to express my side.” “I fear of losing you both, especially now that I experienced such a blissful family life.” A surge of warmth emanated from the loving couple in front of Leila. Seeing how her mother’s messy love life unfolded in front of her eyes, she couldn’t help but feel a little bad. She realized that convincing her mother to divorce her father was completely out of line. Rather, she finally understood how deep their love developed. ‘Who am I to ruin such a beautiful couple?’ ‘I don’t even feel that hurt because of what he did… I know, and I can feel that he did it with good intentions.’ ‘The only thing I need to worry about is my family… My mother is already so old, she can figure out the life on her own.’ She instinctively touched her tummy, feeling the baby bump. ‘So long as I have my baby, I know it will all work out
The Mysterious Playboy’s Thirst for Love Chapter 118: Taylor’s Involvement
“Darling, you’re awake…” Theodore slowly walked up to the mother and daughter who were staring at him silently. “Did you hear from your mom already?” “About what? That I’m your biological daughter?” She passively asked. With the whirlwind of happenings the past day, everything is just overwhelming Leila. The neglectful father that she knew growing up turned out to not be her biological father. All her life she craved for her father’s affection only to be cast aside without knowing the reason why. It turns out, Allen Parker may have a reason for doing so. After all, not everyone can treat stepchildren as their own. ‘I don’t know if I should be relieved or what… This is so frustrating…’ Leila’s eyes were focused on Theodore who sat next to her mother. “Leila, darling…” “Why didn’t you tell us?” Theodore hesitated, his face looking a bit conflicted. “Darling, it’s complicated…” Laura sneered. “That’s what I asked him, Leila. He never explained why. If you didn’t urgentl

“The baby seems very healthy, Mommy!” Said the doctor as she checked on Leila’s pelvic ultrasound on the screen. “But the baby bump is barely there, doc. What should I do?” With her slender body, she’s still concerned about how the bump that she wishes to see is barely visible. The OB-Gynecologist wiped the cold jelly from her belly and said, “Mommy, I can see a small bump. You’re just naturally fit. But if you observe your body, there are changes.” “I bet you had a really flat stomach before you got pregnant. Am I right?” Leila nodded. The doctor pointed at the visible bump in her lower abdomen area. “This bump right here is not there before right.” “But it’s not big yet… Is my baby getting all the nutrition she needs?” “Of course, mommy. It’s just that your tummy won’t grow that big yet. But it will definitely as your baby develops.” Leila reluctantly nodded. “Alright, doc. Thank you.” “No problem. Visit me whenever you have concerns and don’t miss your scheduled prenat
The Mysterious Playboy’s Thirst for Love Chapter 116: Left Out
Several weeks passed in a blur, and it was now Rui’s wedding. It was initially planned for her wedding dress to be loose so that it wouldn’t show her figure. But since she gave birth to her daughter, Esme a few weeks before the wedding. She was able to rest and spend more time with her newborn. The entire wedding preparations were handled by her husband, Chase. Leila expertly adjusted Rui’s gown to perfectly flatter her body. They were all satisfied with how the gown turned out. “Lei, where is Esme?” Rui in a beautiful chiffon gown asked Leila. The guests are having fun as they proceed with the wedding activities. “She’s sleeping in her room and Phyllis is looking after her,” answered Leila as she sipped on the sparkling soda that was handed by a server. Rui sincerely smiled, “Thank you, Lei.” Leila squeezed her hands, “Of course, I got you, my dearest.” Rui then went on with the activities with her husband, Chase. As one of the Maid of Honor, she was in charge of helping
The Mysterious Playboy’s Thirst for Love Chapter 115: Eventful Day
Leila was carefully driving her car back to her mother’s house after driving her friend, Phyllis to the airport. On their street, she saw a lot of cars parked near Phyllis and Zacharias’ house. “Are they media people…? That’s a lot…” The amount of people with big cameras waiting outside her friend’s house is insanely plenty. Just a few days ago, Phyllis’ husband was hospitalized because a crazy fan attempted to kidnap him. Now, people got a hold of this incident and were eager to get a scoop about it. “So that’s why Taylor told me not to go out…” “Well… No wonder that couple decided to flee the country.” She then parked her car in front of the house’s front entrance. She swung her keys as she walked inside her mother’s house. “Leila?!” Her mother jolted up from the couch as soon as she walked in. “What’s up?” “You! What did you do now?!” Confused, Leila asked, “What did I do…?” “First, you lied to Aunt Amanda about Rui’s wedding and impulsively went home. We’re not don
The Mysterious Playboy’s Thirst for Love Chapter 114: Victim To A Man’s Sweet Words
KNOCK KNOCK Leila was drying her hair after a warm bath when she heard a knock on her door. “It must be him.” She hurried out of her room and opened the door. There, she saw Taylor standing outside, his whole body drenched from the rain. “Goodness, what happened to you?!” “Haha… It rained and I forgot to bring an umbrella.” “You didn’t drive?” “Why would I drive if there’s a convenience store nearby?” His hair is still dripping wet and the rainwater made Taylor’s dress shirt see-through. His lean body is showing because of this. His body was shivering from the cold, but still, he smiled as he handed over the plastic full of food that Leila requested. Feeling a little sorry for his appearance, she bit her lips. “Uh…” “Why don’t you come in and change?” She offered. Taylor beamed, “Sure!” He quickly took off his shoes and went inside. Leila could only watch him as he wore the fluffy pink bunny slippers he used before. ‘I mean, I’ll feel guilty if he gets sick aft
