Juliet’s face—or at least the half that wasn’t red from the slap—turned ghostly pale the moment Liam Walton’s name was mentioned. The waitstaff exchanged knowing glances.

Slapping someone with that much confidence? This woman must have serious backing. Still, Juliet had brought it on herself by picking a fight with customers first. Several servers stepped in to mediate, but Juliet only bit down hard on her lower lip, glaring at Evelyn with barely contained rage. It took everything in her not to snap back.

The weight of the restaurant’s stares bore down on her, humiliating. Adela had already let go of her arm and sat back down, flashing her a mocking smile. "Miss Brown, maybe think before you speak next time. Plenty of witnesses around now."

Juliet stomped her foot, shooting Adela one last venomous look before storming off. "Let’s see how long your smug act lasts," she hissed. "Unless you’ve got bodyguards on you 24/7—"

Evelyn bristled, ready to fire back, but Adela shook her head. "Do

    Adela frowned, absolutely fuming at Marah’s latest jab. She almost reached for Layson’s arm to show Marah what real PDA looked like—and how shameless she could really be.But in the end, she restrained herself.She sneered, “Holding hands is shameless now? Then I hope you and your boyfriend never touch each other for the rest of your lives!”That one landed. Marah’s face flushed an awkward red-white mix, her eyes burning with enough venom to flay Adela alive. But for once, she shut up. When the elevator doors opened, she stormed out with a sour face.Adela glanced up. Yep—office floor.She tugged Layson out with her, only to notice that he had somehow, somewhere, picked up a phone call during all that. Her stomach dropped.Oh god. Had whoever he was talking to just heard everything that went down in the elevator?Her pride. Her legacy. Her entire reputation—destroyed by one overly dramatic frenemy.And the worst part? He always talked so little on the phone. Couldn’t he just give a si

    Layson glanced sideways at Adela, eyes filled with amusement. The slight pout on her lips was adorable. He didn’t know what other people experienced when they fell in love—but for him, it was this constant itch to tease her, ruffle her, provoke her. It was addicting.No wonder Liam Walton didn’t like him. If he had a little sister like Adela—soft-hearted, kind of clueless, and ridiculously lovable—he’d probably be furious if someone kept messing with her too.Layson pulled the Phantom into the underground garage. He stepped out, walked around the car, and opened the passenger door for her. His navy blue tailored suit was crisp to perfection, making his tall frame look even more elegant and commanding.The security guard peeked out from the booth, spotted who it was, and instantly retracted. He’d seen Layson before—cold, distant, intimidating. But now? The man was smiling. Actually smiling. And at a girl?The guard rubbed his eyes. Maybe he was hallucinating.Adela had no choice but to

    Adela couldn’t quite explain why, but something about what he just said made her feel uneasy. Still, she didn’t push further. She was afraid that if she said too much, she’d drag him back into dark memories he wasn’t ready to revisit.Even if he looked nonchalant on the outside, she wasn’t willing to bet on it.She quietly sipped her soup, then asked casually, “So… are we officially moving out now?”Layson dropped a piece of food into her bowl and said offhandedly, “Just stay with me for a few days, okay?”She nodded obediently, not pressing for a timeline. She figured it probably had something to do with the recent tension at home—maybe he just didn’t want to see Richard. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have decided to suddenly leave.After dinner, Adela tried to clear the table, but Layson stopped her.“I brought you here to be with me, not to do chores. If that’s what I wanted, I’d have kept you at the Norman estate.”At the Norman house, maids practically did everything for her—including p

    Before Adela could even finish her question, she felt Layson’s grip on her hand tighten. She didn't dare look at his face.The only sound left in the room was the voice from the TV—Secretary Liu speaking in that calm, composed way that reminded her a bit too much of Layson himself.It might’ve been a minute, maybe five. Either way, it felt like eternity. Long enough for Adela to imagine a hundred scenarios of breakups or him walking away. Her brain spiraled until Layson’s voice finally broke the silence.“When did you find out about that?” he asked, voice hoarse.His grip on her hand grew firmer, a little too firm. She tried to pull back, but he didn’t let go.“When Susan kidnapped Cici,” she said quietly. “I only heard bits and pieces.”Layson’s grip tightened again. Adela winced slightly, but didn’t say anything. Her pride wouldn’t let her complain about the pain.“Who told you? Garcia? Robbie?”He kept his eyes on the TV, but that somehow made her feel even more anxious than if he’

    Layson stared at Adela’s fragile expression. He felt the familiar itch to light a cigarette—but he didn’t. She couldn’t inhale smoke. Instead, he leaned over and unbuckled her seatbelt, pulling her chin toward him.Soft kisses landed on her cheeks, one after another, brushing away the storm cloud in her heart like gentle waves.“The doctor said it’s normal. Mood swings, emotional dips—pregnant women go through that. I’m going to assume that’s what this is,” he said, voice low and warm. “So, let’s not ask that question again, alright?”His rough thumb gently traced the curve of her lips as he spoke. It wasn’t a suggestion—it was a quiet, commanding reassurance, the kind that left no room for argument. Typical Layson: even when comforting, the man radiated authority.Adela’s lashes fluttered. She didn’t answer. Not yes, not no. Just silence.Layson walked around to the trunk and lifted out two heavy bags of groceries. He gave her a subtle look to follow.Adela trailed behind, clutching

    Adela answered the phone and put it on speaker.“Sir,” Barnes’s voice came through clearly, “a few tabloid outlets got photos of you and Adela… hugging outside SW Entertainment. Some are full-face shots. Do you want us to shut it down?”Adela froze, eyes widening. Full-face? Hugging? She was done. Time to move to Mars.She slowly turned to glare at the man sitting beside her, aka the walking scandal factory, who looked as cool as ever. Her eyes silently screamed: Look what you did!Layson chuckled lazily, completely unbothered. “Nah. Save all the photos. Print 'em and put them on my desk tomorrow.”Adela nearly choked.Wait, what? He wanted to keep them?!At least that meant he wasn’t planning to let them publish the shots. She breathed a tiny sigh of relief.But then Barnes’s voice piped up again, “A few gossip accounts on social media have posted shots of you and Adela together. No clear facial shots though. Should I get them removed?”Adela nearly lost it.She turned her head and s
