Reclaiming His Runaway Baby Mama 286 A Mysterious Call
Seeing that Dexter had said so, Carl couldn't really force Adela to drink. He lost interest in toying with her and turned his focus to the performance on stage.With him silent, the whole table quieted down as well.Marah, who had been smiling sweetly earlier, stiffened when she saw Dexter take Adela's glass and drink it instead. That drink had been "prepared" specially for Adela. She gritted her teeth inwardly. How was Adela always so lucky? Her glare shifted to Dexter's back as he walked away. If he hadn't interfered, Adela would have been drinking that spiked wine by now.Still, her mind spun quickly. Her gaze landed on Andrew, who was chatting and laughing nearby. Though her plan had been disrupted, she thought coldly, maybe there was still a way. She pulled out her phone to check the time, then sat back down, pretending to be engrossed in the show.Dexter returned shortly with three bottles of juice. After the earlier stunt with the forced toast, he didn’t feel comfortable leavin
Reclaiming His Runaway Baby Mama 285 A Toast
The three girls stood a distance away, and Natalie frowned as she glanced toward the center VIP seats. She kind of wanted to sit there, but really didn’t want to deal with Carl.She turned around and began scanning for Andrew, planning to ask him to find a better spot for them. While they were waiting, Marah suddenly stood up from her seat next to Mia, waving excitedly. “Adela, you’re here too! How come I didn’t see you earlier?” Her enthusiasm immediately made Adela and Cici wary.Cici leaned close to Adela’s ear and whispered, "Let's not sit near her. I still want to enjoy the concert properly."Adela hesitated slightly, then glanced at Natalie. The music was loud enough that Marah’s outburst didn’t cause too much of a scene, but naturally, nearby guests turned to look.Carl’s gaze flickered in their direction for a moment. Natalie noticed too, but she didn’t move, just muttered quietly to Adela and Cici, “Watch this. He’s definitely telling Andrew to come get us.”Sure enough, Andr

Adela felt a little embarrassed — even now, she still didn’t know exactly where Zach’s birthday party was being held.Meanwhile, she received a message from Natalie: they had already arrived and were waiting for her and Cici. Apparently, Zach’s party was quite formal, requiring an invitation, but with Andrew around, their group could waltz in without any issues — his face was as good as a VIP pass.Half an hour later, their car pulled up by the coast. Natalie stood between Dexter and Andrew, her beige fitted coat fluttering lightly in the sea breeze. The three of them — handsome men and a beautiful woman — naturally drew countless glances.The moment Adela stepped out of the car, she spotted the trio immediately. She raised a hand to her forehead helplessly. Even though Natalie had dressed as low-key as possible, her stunning looks still made her the center of attention. Adela honestly felt reluctant to walk over — they were way too eye-catching.But while she hesitated, the three of

Adela turned around and saw Zach twirling his car keys around his finger, standing alone by his car. It was a bit surprising — it was the first time she’d seen Zach without a female companion hanging off him. He leaned casually against his Ferrari, wearing a different style of long coat today, looking every bit the polished gentleman."Since I happen to run into Cici," Zach said smoothly, "the birthday party is set for this Saturday at 7 PM. Should I send someone to pick you up?" Though phrased as a question, his tone made it clear he considered it a done deal.Cici looked up at Adela and blinked. Adela immediately caught her meaning. After a slight pause, Adela opened her mouth and answered for her, "No need to trouble you, Zach. Andrew will be going too. Cici can ride with him."She had originally thought of Dexter, but remembering that Andrew had a closer relationship with Zach’s group, she changed her mind mid-sentence.Zach raised an eyebrow but didn’t argue. "I heard you were lo

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
