Reclaiming His Runaway Baby Mama 282 I’ll Protect You
Dexter had barely finished speaking when Natalie froze for a second, but quickly recovered, putting on her usual sweet smile. She tilted her head and propped her chin up with one hand, as if considering something. Instead of answering directly, she asked, “Adela, are you going too?”Adela was about to speak, but Dexter beat her to it. “My brother probably won’t be too happy about letting her go.”Natalie looked a little surprised, her reaction seemed genuine. “I’ve heard about Layson’s strict ways, but from what I’ve seen, he treats you differently, Adela. Did you two have a fight? Maybe that’s why he’s being so unreasonable?”Yesterday, Dexter had driven Andrew back to the Rodriguez family home. Since he used her car, when he returned the keys, Andrew had sheepishly mentioned he almost caused trouble. That’s when she learned the incident involved Adela and her friend.Hearing them talk about it today, she couldn't help but speculate. In her opinion, given how much Layson valued Adela

Marah, who had been admiring her newly manicured nails, froze mid-movement and lifted her eyes toward Adela.But seeing that Adela wasn’t paying her any attention, an invisible fire sparked in Marah’s chest — burning to lash out, yet she restrained herself, worried about appearances.She forced a smile, tugging at the corner of her lips."I guess I was just being self-important."Adela finally turned to glance at her, her expression carrying a faint, polite smile, but she didn’t bother responding.When it was just the two of them, they could at least exchange a few words.Now, with Dexter here as well, the room went deathly silent, the atmosphere colder than that between strangers.Mr. Norman walked in from outside and immediately caught sight of this awkward scene.After washing up and changing into his house clothes, he took his seat at the head of the table, scanning the three young people with an unreadable expression.Adela felt her heart thud nervously.She was genuinely worried

Layson dropped Adela off at the entrance of the Norman family estate and bent down slightly, his voice low and tender,"Be good. Wait for me to come back."Without lingering, his car quickly made a U-turn and sped off toward the company.Adela stood there watching for a while before slowly making her way inside.It was still early, not yet dinnertime. Diana was busy in the kitchen prepping for dinner.Today, Mr. Norman had gone to pick up his grandson himself.Adela sat quietly in the living room, letting her heart settle. Once she felt calmer, she rolled up her sleeves and headed to the kitchen, wanting to help.Diana turned around and immediately stopped her."No, no, you shouldn't be getting your hands dirty. I had someone prepare some bird’s nest soup for you. Finish it up, and dinner will be ready soon."Bird’s nest was light and wouldn’t ruin her appetite — that’s why Diana had arranged it."I’m not really hungry. But I can at least help wash some vegetables."Diana chuckled and

Zach’s hand, still fastening the buttons, paused.Adela didn’t dare pull Cici away forcibly — she worried that any sudden movement might cause Zach’s hand to brush somewhere inappropriate."You look a little too delicate to carry her," Zach said lightly, his eyes twinkling with casual amusement."Since I’m already here, why not let me help carry her to the car?"He said it like it was the most natural thing in the world — perfectly fitting his polished, gentlemanly image."No need to trouble you, Zach. Dexter can help."Adela rejected him instantly. She didn’t want to stay another second.Zach raised an eyebrow, glancing at the aloof man standing in front of her — Dexter.He knew who Dexter was — Andrew’s brother-in-arms, close with Natalie too — but not someone deeply embedded in their circle."Oh?" Zach drawled lazily. "Are you sure Dexter would be willing? After all, to Cici, he’s just another stranger."Saying that, he released the last button and casually smoothed out the wrinkle

Adela rushed toward Gina’s table, slightly breathless.“Where’s Cici? I’m here to take her home.”Seeing no sign of Cici, panic rose like wildfire in her chest.She couldn’t help but imagine Cici going to the restroom alone without anyone accompanying her — the thought made her lips dry and tingling.Andrew was the first to speak up, finally finding a way to escape Carl’s lecture. Of course, he wasn’t going to miss this chance.Turning toward Adela, he flashed a fawning smile.“Adela, don’t worry. A friend of mine is taking care of her. Are you guys done with your business?”He aimed the last part toward Dexter.Dexter nodded lightly.Only then did Andrew finally breathe a sigh of relief.If something really happened to Adela and her friend here at Nightfall, he could kiss his easy life goodbye.Luckily, everything seemed fine.Andrew’s eyes briefly flickered to Sarah, who was slumped over the table.His gaze was unreadable for a second, but he quickly looked away and returned to stan

Just as Adela was about to turn and leave, the man lurking behind the lights spoke again."Such a bold beauty. Do I have the honor of asking you for one more dance?"Sarah was already struggling to stand. If not for Adela’s steadying hand, she might have collapsed right then and there.Adela looked at her pale, sweat-drenched face, anxiety eating at her. She wished she could just grab her and run."Sir, can’t you see she can barely stand? Let her go already," Adela said, forcing herself to keep her voice calm under the oppressive gaze.The man didn’t respond, but the atmosphere around him grew noticeably colder."Since she can't stand, then sit," he said leisurely. "Each of you three girls drink one cup with me, and I'll let you go."Before they could react, the men pushed the three of them down onto the sofa.Three glasses filled with dark liquor were placed in front of them.Adela’s hand trembled as she picked up her glass.She knew she absolutely couldn't drink — not while carrying

Adela and Cici approached the entrance of Nightfall.The security guards, seeing that they didn’t look like business executives or staff, stopped them with a casual question, “What’s your business here? This isn’t really a place for you.”Adela racked her brain for an excuse.Cici blinked and quickly responded, “We’re here for a job interview.”The security guard gave them another glance. Two pretty girls — it was believable.After all, Nightfall paid well, and tips were high. Girls lined up every day hoping for a spot.He nodded and waved them through.On the first floor, anyone could enter. It was the second floor onward that required a membership card. The guard, seeing their fresh-faced looks, felt the need to add, “If anything happens, look for the security guys in uniform, alright?”Adela and Cici nodded politely and thanked him.They stepped through a long hallway and into the main hall — instantly overwhelmed by the flashing neon lights and pounding music.Cici leaned over to

Cici frowned as she looked at Zach. It was the second time this afternoon she’d properly looked at her idol — and frankly, she felt like his aura of perfection was crumbling.“Well, since Carl extended the invitation, it would be rude for me to decline," she said.Hearing Cici agree to attend, Adela was both anxious and annoyed. She was about to pull Cici aside to talk some sense into her when Carl glanced at his watch and nudged Zach with his elbow. “Good. Zach will send you the time and location later. Since there’s nothing else, we’ll leave you to it."Without giving them a chance to react, Carl dragged Zach away, leaving Adela and Cici stunned in their seats.Once outside, Zach glanced at Carl, puzzled. “You knew they wouldn’t want to attend something like that. Why did you still push Cici into it?"Carl shrugged, his face calm and unconcerned. “What, don’t tell me you’re actually interested in that little designer?"Zach frowned slightly. “I just think she’s... interesting. But w

For a split second, Adela noticed the smile on Zach's face falter— but he quickly recovered, his usual lazy smirk slipping back into place like a mask.Adela knew Cici must be a complete mess inside right now, absolutely no help at all, so she had no choice but to step up herself."Carl, Zach," she said calmly, "you two are our company's clients. Whether we personally like each other isn't really the point. As long as the work meets your expectations, that's enough. I don't think we're close enough to be discussing personal feelings."Her tone was mild, her gaze steady. In the quiet little corner of the café, she sounded even more detached.Carl stared at her, momentarily stunned by her serene face.When he snapped out of it, he chuckled."You sure talked a lot just now—still doesn't explain why your friend’s suddenly gone mute."Adela felt a little stuck for words, but she met their eyes head-on and spoke again."Cici’s just slow to warm up to people. She talks when she wants to. If
