Ayla’s hand itched to drag Leila to the ground. If not for Julius’ insistence that she apologize to Leila, she wouldn't be here. Julius refuses to see her family if she doesn't apologize to Leila. She found it absolutely ridiculous that her future depended on Leila. Julius plays a huge role in their family’s partnership. He controls Crest Fashion Group’s entire financial flow. He can delay cash flow as he sees fit. So his financial obligations towards her family’s manufacturing company can be delayed at his will. This would cause extreme losses on their end.

Putting aside that she's being pressured by her father, she genuinely wants to build a great romantic relationship with Julius Yu. It's just that Julius was unwilling.

The Mysterious Playboy’s Thirst for Love Chapter 67: Nip the Bud
“I’m sorry, you got dragged into this drama…”She nervously turned to Theodore and apologized. If she had not spouted such nonsense, he wouldn’t have witnessed such a mess. “I…”“It’s so selfish of me to say that you are my father… I mean you’re not even dating my mother yet, but I hope you will…”“You have my vote as my mom’s daughter. Out of all my mom’s suitors, you’re the only one I approve of!”Leila has always been vocal when advocating for Theodore and Laura’s relationship. It was clear to her that Theodore liked her mother. She can see that he’s a good man who helped her mother get through a lot of troubles in the past. There’s no way that a foreigner would show up and invest out of nowhere. Leila believed he did those because he liked her mother. Theodore smiled. He patted the top of Leila’s head. It seems that they naturally can understand each other very well. From Leila’s short observation of him, she was able to infer that he likes her mother. She is extremely keen and
The Mysterious Playboy’s Thirst for Love Chapter 68: Reap the Results Later
Taylor bursted out laughing in front of Theodore’s stoic face. Theodore was the kind of man who could kill anyone he wished to with a straight face. With his power and wealth, he can deal with whoever gets in his way quickly. This was the reason why Theodore was able to live as he pleased in a different country. Taylor knows that he holds his employees by their necks. That’s why he has no qualms about leaving his company in France for someone else to manage.“Oh, Theo your daughter and Laura will be terrified of your brutalness! Hahaha!” “What? Why? They won’t be scared if they don’t know right?”Taylor paused. “You know, you’re smart. You can do better than this, Theo. Try some more.”Theodore blankly stared at him, as if his processor lagged. He was trying his best to understand what Taylor was saying. He was earnestly trying to rack his brain to find a solution for the trouble that his daughter found herself in. “Nothing. I don’t know other solution other than killing them. It’s
The Mysterious Playboy’s Thirst for Love Chapter 69: Second Marriage
“Mom, this is all so sudden! What’s going on?!”Laura, dressed in a beautiful white sundress that Leila made, smiled beautifully as the strands of her long silky black hair fell on her face. Leila curled Laura’s hair to frame her face. Leila styled her mother from head to toe. On such short notice, she had to close the studio to attend her mother’s shotgun wedding. It was a good thing that her clients for today were able to understand this. With Leila’s touch, Laura looked like she did not age. The wrinkles that appeared as she aged were expertly hidden by concealer. Her elegance and grace naturally flowed in her movements. It was as if she did not age one bit.“Didn’t you want him to be your father? Besides, you’ve been asking the same question since last night, dear. Give me a break.”Laura looked calm for a bride. Well—this is her second “contractual” wedding. She knows what to expect. She knows her boundaries.‘What happened with Allen definitely won’t happen with Theodore… I’ll
The Mysterious Playboy’s Thirst for Love Chapter 70: A Disappointment
“It’s great to finally see your family complete, Theo. Congratulations to you both.”Taylor approached the family of three who just had their photos taken by the photographer. He looked dashing wearing his black tux for this small ceremony. With his arrangement, he was able to get his father, the mayor of Dixon City to officiate Theodore and Laura’s wedding. “Thank you, Taylor. I owe it all to you for making this possible.”Theodore patted his shoulder with a huge smile on his face. He is grateful for all of Taylor’s help all this time. He watched this clever man grow into the successful businessman that he is today. He is smart and resourceful. It was definitely the right choice to get Taylor’s help to find his family. What he thinks is amazing about Taylor is not only did he help find his family, but he also found an opportunity for him to get married to the love of his life. It was simply clever that he could find advantages in a certain situation. He knows Taylor as a cunning
The Mysterious Playboy’s Thirst for Love Chapter 71: Get Used To It
Taylor gritted his teeth in anger. Hearing him being compared to Julius Yu makes his blood boil. Julius was well-known for being a successful bachelor with a clean image. There's nothing that people can find to fault him. Even his breakup with Leila turned out to be great for him. His loyalty to Leila made him look extremely attractive to women. Of course, ladies would want to snag a loyal and faithful man like Julius. Taylor, being the rake that he is, is nothing compared to the loyal Julius. While he knows the truth about Julius’ impressive image, most people won't believe the truth unless it is revealed with evidence. ‘Well, if Leila were to reveal it, they wouldn't believe her either. Julius remained loyal to her even after knowing that she was a playgirl. Between the two, Julius is more trustworthy than Leila.’‘If only they knew how horrid that man is, would they still dare to compare him to me?’“Tsk!”He exited the venue in annoyance. Though it won’t show on his face, it al
The Mysterious Playboy’s Thirst for Love Chapter 72: Kiss Theo’s Ass
Leila felt her mother’s sharp gaze as she carried Eon. “Auntie, I loved the dresses you made! Are you happy that I convinced my mom to walk for you?” Eon innocently asked Leila. Eon’s adorable suit and tie made him look like a ring bearer for a wedding. His long brown hair was neatly tied in a bun. He was matching suits with his father, Chase Eno, who was standing next to her best friend, Rui, dressed in an elegant a-line dress.“I—I am happy, baby. Thank you for doing that for Auntie.”“You seem to know the kid well, Leila.”Her mother approached them with an elegant smile. “Yes, Grandma! Aunt Leila visited me when Mommy was working in England. We always go shopping!” Eon proudly shared.He hugged Leila’s neck. “Auntie, I loved the puzzle you gave me. Are there other puzzles that you can find?”“That’s so nice, Eon! Auntie Leila is so kind to you!” said Laura as she observed Leila’s nervous face. “Of course, Grandma! Aunt Phyllis also gives me lots of gifts.”Phyllis who just ent
The Mysterious Playboy’s Thirst for Love Chapter 73: One Step Closer
Meanwhile, the girls are gathered on the other end of the table. Though Hillary and Laura adored Eon, they first wanted to check on Rui. They were aware that Eon’s being coddled by the old men, so they wanted to grill Rui, Phyllis, and Leila for the details. It was years of deception. The kid has grown up without knowing his relatives. How tough was that?Hillary held Rui’s hands. “Rui, get straight with us. What happened all these years?”Leila and Phyllis quietly sat next to their friend with their heads hung low. “Auntie, don’t be mad at Phyllis and Leila. I asked them to hide it from all of you… I did not suffer because my best friends were there for me throughout the journey…”“Since Phyllis is studying here and eventually worked in your family business, she always calls us to check on us two…”Laura felt her heavy heart aching for Rui. “But, still… What would happen if you don’t have any other support? Just relying on your dividends is not enough for you two! You grew up pam

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

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

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
