The Mysterious Playboy’s Thirst for Love Chapter 48: A jerk to the core
Harriet left the comfort room with a massive frown on her small face. She was humiliated by an unknown pink-haired girl!‘If she’s even half as famous as me, I would have recognized her. But, she’s not.’‘Ayla never mentioned anyone named Lei or Leila in our entire friendship! I’ve known Ayla since we were kids! We grew up together. So it’s impossible to say that Leila knows Ayla more than me.’She glanced back at Leila who just stepped out of the comfort room. Leila was wearing high-waisted skinny jeans and a white crop top shirt that highlighted her curvaceous sexy body. Her pink hair was not the only trait that made her stand out. It was her brown siren eyes that captured everyone’s attention. Leila gracefully sauntered down the hall to their table to get all her things. “Leila, are you going home now?” asked Tatiana who just rose from her seat. Leila shook her head. Since she’s in a mall, she’s not passing the opportunity to shop. “I’m going to look around first.”“I would lov

Leila’s mouth gaped as she stared at the hunk who was towering before her. He beamed, smiling mischievously at the panicking Leila. “I saw you around the mall so I figured I should say hi.”This man was not at all fazed with Leila’s glaring eyes. With Leila’s reaction, it was obvious that he was not a welcome presence in Leila’s life. Leila frowned. She doesn’t like him around. “You can go, I’m busy.”“Aww, don’t say that. I can join you for a casual stroll in the mall,” he insisted. “Andrei, just leave. I don’t need company,” said Leila firmly. She quickly turned to the sales associate and passed the bag that she was holding. “I’ll take these.”Sensing the tension between the two, the associate immediately processed Leila’s order. While waiting, she sat on the couch nearby and ignored Andrei. She then took out her phone to pass the time. She wanted to seem busy so Andrei wouldn’t bug her and leave. However, it seems that he was a much of an insistent man than she initially thou
The Mysterious Playboy’s Thirst for Love Chapter 50: Business Partner
Taylor, who was standing next to his car watched Leila pull Andrei close. He followed them to the parking lot after leaving Harriet in the mall. He was too curious to see Leila and the man who had been tailing her. He did not expect that he’d see Leila casually go on a date with a guy. ‘It’s not like she’s not allowed… But she’s just going out like that! Does she know that guy?!’‘I know him! He’s from the Castro family. From what I know, he’s going to be engaged to his best friend!’‘So, why are they like that?! Is this supposed to be a secret rendezvous that I discovered?!’Taylor hesitated whether he should approach Leila and Andrei. He doesn’t want Leila’s name to be dragged into a nasty rumor with Andrei Castro. ‘Oh f*ck it! I’ll go!’‘She’s my business partner so I need to protect her name for the sake of our success.’‘Yes, right! That’s right! She’s my business partner!’He quietly walked towards the two. There he saw Leila break away from Andrei, he faintly heard, “I just
The Mysterious Playboy’s Thirst for Love Chapter 51: Vicious Cycle
Leila ended up spending the night in Phyllis’ place. She was dead tired that she could not even walk back to her unit. “Ugh…”She groaned as she felt a light kick on her butt. She turned and saw Phyllis standing beside the bed.“Yo, I cooked breakfast. Let’s eat.”Leila rubbed her eyes, unable to believe that her friend was up early in the morning. Phyllis would usually sleep and wake up late. However, today, she got up early!She got up and touched Phyllis's forehead. “Are you sick? Why are you up early, Lis?”Phyllis flicked Leila’s hands before walking out of her room. “If you don’t want to, then don’t.”Leila laughed at Phyllis’ reactions and tried to keep up with her steps. She clung her arms on Phyllis’ shoulders and coquettishly asked, “Babe, are you mad?”Phyllis scoffed, “I’m not, b*tch. Let’s just eat.”“Aww~ Come on, tell me, babe~”Phyllis moved Leila’s face away from her and hurried to the table. “You sound like a whiny boyfriend, Lei!”“Oh, please! Wait ‘till you get yo
The Mysterious Playboy’s Thirst for Love Chapter 52: Other Girl
A week passed and the netizens seemed to have forgotten about Taylor’s new girl. Just like Phyllis had expected, people did not find this rumor significant or special. It’s not that shocking if Taylor and Harriet became a thing—even more so if he replaced her with a new girl. They simply moved on with their lives instead of gushing over this ‘groundbreaking’ couple. Far from the eye of the entertainment news, Leila was couped up in her apartment. She prioritized the suits that she’s making for Luna and she made significant progress since she pulled an all-nighter. She’s just trying to finish one more suit so she can go back to finishing the dresses that she plans to add to the collection. “I really should hire more helpers…”She realized that her mother was right. The collection that she’s presenting at the opening of her atelier is the work that she has created through the years. She suffered from an intense art block and was struggling to get her creative pace back. She’s goin
The Mysterious Playboy’s Thirst for Love Chapter 53: Danced without a care in the world
“Alright, alright. I’m on my way, Cassiel! Stop rushing me~” she said with a light chuckle. Later at night, Cassiel invited her for a night out. It was timely since she’s been couped up in her apartment for a week now. She wanted to at least unwind and have a few drinks with her friend. Before entering the lift, she knocked on Phyllis’ door and loudly asked, “Are you really not coming?!”“NO! There’s a lot of people outside!” she heard Phyllis yell from inside. “Okay, suit yourself,” muttered Leila before rushing to the lift. She’s opened a ride-hailing app to quickly book a ride. She’s not driving herself to the bar since she plans on drinking. Besides, she’s going to the Zeus Club in Dixon City. It’s an hour’s drive from her place so she doesn’t want the trouble of driving. In an instant, she was notified that the 4-seater car she booked was close by. She walked out of the lobby while checking her stuff inside her miumiu hobo bag. She brought a pressed powder and her lipstick
The Mysterious Playboy’s Thirst for Love Chapter 54: So Casual
His big hands trailed on her back as if it was the most natural thing to do. It made her feel so… so… hot…It felt… Exciting.At the back of her mind, she wondered who this man was. However, she was having so much fun, that she didn’t want to spoil the moment. She felt a little giddy trying to guess the mysterious man’s identity. Was he someone she knows?Was he someone new?Either way, she wants someone to stir up her night.Besides, she believes that if it’s someone she has to be wary of, Cassiel would have yanked him away. And so, decided to enjoy the moment. Her perked buttocks lightly grazed the man’s thigh. She did not mind, these usually happen in the club. “Oh, sorry,” said the man behind her. Hearing his deep and husky voice made her extremely curious. ‘I know this guy!’Perhaps, it was because of the alcohol, or the loud music that she could not discern the man’s identity. But she was certain that she knew him. Ultimately, curiosity got the best of her, and turned a
The Mysterious Playboy’s Thirst for Love Chapter 55: Better Choice
A petite lady dressed in a maxi dress and a brown cardigan stood behind Leila and Andrei with her hands on her hips. Her expression suggests that she’s extremely angry at the duo seated in the bar. Leila sighed. She took off Andrei’s coat before passing it to the lady. “Ruby, it’s a good thing you picked up Andrei.”“I’ll leave you two alone,” added Leila before leaving. “WAIT!” Ruby yelled; again. She grabbed Leila’s arms. ‘Now, what?’She tried to hide her irritation with a polite smile. “Why?” Ruby looked up to meet Leila’s eyes. Leila stood even taller than Ruby because she wore stilettos. Her eyes were sharp and very hostile towards Leila. “Why are you with Andrei?”Leila paused, finding Ruby’s question a bit silly. “Uhh… I’m not. But you can ask him why he keeps on bugging me.”Ruby frowned. “So you’re saying he’s pursuing you?”Leila gave Andrei a side-eye. He was not doing anything to prevent Ruby from confronting Leila. He just stood on the side, watching the scene unfo

The Mysterious Playboy’s Thirst for Love Chapter 122: Epilogue - My Light, My Water
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
