The Mysterious Playboy’s Thirst for Love Chapter 85: Careless
Despite the heart-stopping procession of the bride, the wedding ceremony went smoothly. Phyllis was now happily chatting with the groom’s friends. The member of the boy band, Luna seemed to get along well with Phyllis. “Lei, Phyllis is so cool… I want to be closer to her. She’s just like her twin, Phylian.”Leila sipped on her fourth glass of red wine. “Of course, they’re twins.”“Phylian has a snarky personality, but Phyllis is more gentle than him. I think that’s the main difference.” Cassiel described the twins with much careful thought. Leila glanced at Phylian, who was lecturing his twin’s husband, Zacharias. In her eyes, the twins have the same personality. She witnessed both their grumpy and gentle sides, so she knows full well that they are the same kind of person. They’re twins with a kind and loving heart. Once the flames burn for a person, they will never fade. “You’ll see that they’re the same kind of person once you get to know them.”Cassiel’s eyes focused on Phylian

“Come to think of it, why are you still here in my room, Taylor?”At the dining table, a sumptuous spread of Japanese food was served. It was already midnight and Leila and Taylor were eating their dinner this late. “Can’t I eat here? Besides, I was the one who suggested to eat, so why can’t I be here?”Leila observed Taylor’s casual attitude towards her. It was as if they never ignored each other for the past few months. While she understood that the past months had been so hard for everyone, she just could not understand how he disappeared and appeared out of the blue like a ghost. Eon’s kidnapping case was something that his family chose to keep under wraps. And she’s sure that Taylor has a fair share of hands on it. Whenever she asks Rui about it, her friend just assures her that Chase and Taylor are taking care of it. ‘It seems having his help on the arson case was a good move for me.’“Leila?”“Hmmm?”“We found the arsonist.”Leila froze. “Really?”She wasn’t in any way well-

“Miss, do you have an invitation?”In the poshly decorated events hall of Shang Hotel in Lieren City, several people were waiting to be seated inside for the first couture collection of Ayla Parker Couture. Leila took off her sunglasses before passing the invitation to the usherette. “Here you go.”“Ah! Miss Leila! Let me guide you to your seat.”As the half-sister of the designer, she was escorted to the front-row seat. She has the best view of the entire runway. Her seat was designated between her father and his wife, who were already comfortably seated. “Can you find me a different seat? I don’t want to sit beside them.”“Leila, stop making a scene and just sit.” Her father, Allen, sternly said. “That’s right, Leila. The show is about to start, so why don’t you sit beside us, dear?” Ayla’s mother, Andrea, sweetly patted the chair beside her, urging Leila to sit down. “I don’t want to sit here. Move me elsewhere.”Her cold and expressionless face intimidated the usherette. Leila

Leila stared at Ayla who just received a round of applause as she walked the runway with her models following her.“Thank you… Thank you everyone…”“It feels surreal to see my creations coming to life like this. I am so happy that I got to share them with everyone like this.”“This is my proudest moment as a designer.”“To my family, I thank you for giving me the support and nudge that I needed. I have always been struggling to find the style that resonates with my entire being. The love you gave me filled me with so much inspiration.”“And to my sister, Leila… I look up to you all my life. Thank you for inspiring me with your art.”Ayla’s tearjerker speech made everyone feel for her. Everyone was in awe at the sight of the magnificent creations that Ayla presented. Each piece of dress tells a story that every person in the room can feel from the collection. “Amazing work, Ayla!”“Wooh! I knew you would succeed in this industry!”“Congratulations, Ayla!”Joyous cheers from the guests

Feeling lifeless, she slumped on her swivel chair. Her sketchbook was gone. All her new pieces were sketched in a notebook that can be digitally transferred to her iPad via an app. It was a sketchbook that Phyllis gifted to her. It was a notebook that could digitally transfer notes and sketches to an app that could be downloaded on any device. Though it’s not new in the market, Phyllis and her team were developing their version of it. “How can I prove that they stole my sketchbook?”“Hmmm…”She then opened her iPad that was placed on her table. She quickly went to the app connected to the digital sketchbook that was stolen. She wasn’t able to check it often since she already has exported her initial sketches and made another copy to be copyrighted and compiled. What Ayla has with her is the initial sketches which are not as detailed as the final design render that she has with her. She checked the sketches on file. “It was no wonder why they looked a little lacking. But still, it’

A good week has passed since Ayla’s first collection was released and her business was already booming. Her studio was filled with clients who wanted to commission her for a piece. Most of the clients were there to get the runway pieces or something similar to her design. “Miss Ayla, can we take a picture with you?” A fan shyly asked Ayla who just finished a consultation with a client. In her cozy studio, the runway pieces from her first collection were displayed in a row of beautiful mannequins. The interior design of her studio is a minimalist style with a neutral color palette. The aesthetic of her studio is different from the vibe that her designs were giving. “Sure!” Ayla enthusiastically posed with the fan. “Thank you! I’m such a huge fan!”Ayla warmly smiled at her fan and continued to cater to her clients. Since she is a famous social media personality who has a huge following, a lot of her fans visited her studio to schedule a consultation with her. Though they can most d

“There’s someone close to you who probably gave your sketchbook to Ayla…”“Pay more attention to the people you employ. They are not loyal to you, but they continue to work for you—perhaps—to make a living. It’s likely that they did it for an amount of money given by Ayla. I’m certain that they did it because Ayla paid them handsomely.”“Either way, you have to be careful with the people who have access to your office.”In the dark lobby of her atelier, Leila pondered upon Rui’s opinion on this matter. ‘Rui is right…’‘She is right…’‘Perhaps I’m too trusting…’She swirled the wine glass as she mindlessly stared at the beautiful dresses displayed under the grand staircase. The delicate fabrics all sat graciously on the mannequin’s form. The laces that Leila painstakingly designed were all incorporated in her pieces. She puts a lot of hard work into each handmade piece that she makes. Her blazing passion was undoubtedly apparent in all her works. She considers every piece her child.

“You know, for a respected businessman like you, I find you so stupid.”“Do you think I’d follow the man who attempted to kill me and my rapist to his car?”She mockingly laughed. “Keep that evidence with you. I can manage to support myself on this case.”Leila pulled her arms away from him with all her strength. Julius just stood on the pavement, staring at her. His eyeglasses were a little clouded so she couldn’t see his expression. But she did not care. Her pride won’t let her take anything from Julius. “To hell with that evidence! I’ll drag you all to the ground one day.”…“Miss, there’s a parcel left outside the door earlier. It was mailed to you.”“It seems to be a document.”Rui and Phyllis, who were cozily seated on the couch inside Leila’s office, took the envelope from Michaella. “We’ll check it for you, Lei.”“Hmmm… There’s no sender…” Rui inspected the envelope to see the basic information of the package. “Anonymous document, huh?”“That’s not good.”“Rui, get away

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
