He held her for a few more minutes before throwing on his jacket and heading to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Adela waited until he was gone, then slowly kicked off the covers and dragged herself to the bathroom. She squeezed out toothpaste and brushed carefully. Looking at herself in the mirror, she noticed the pink flush on her cheeks and the shy, soft look in her eyes—it was like there was a whole lake of emotions there. She paused, then forced herself to act calm and ignore the... heated memories playing in her mind.

She looked down, not daring to face her reflection again.

After rinsing, she grabbed a towel and dabbed her face, remembering that usually it was always Layson taking the lead. This time, though, she’d taken initiative—and yeah, it definitely felt different.

At first, he didn’t even want to go along with it. He just held her, whispered softly that he didn’t want to push her. But she’d gotten him so worked up... and for the first time ever, she found herself wondering

  • Reclaiming His Runaway Baby Mama   404 Mommy’s Voice Is So Pretty

    Adela’s chest ached as she looked into Ralph’s big cat-like eyes. The hope in them was almost too much to bear.She gently stroked his hair. “Baby, Mommy really wants to live with you too.”She meant it. But Richard would never allow it.Ralph waited for her to say more, but when she stayed quiet, he pouted and let out a soft “Oh.” His disappointment was plain as day, and Adela’s heart ached even more seeing his little face droop.She reached over and pinched his chubby cheek. “Whenever I have time, I’ll bring you over to stay with me for a few days, okay?”That was the only compromise she could think of—for now. If Layson was willing to help and Richard gave in, that might work.Ralph brightened up right away and hugged her arm. “Okay!”Back at the apartment, the first thing Adela did was take out the food Diana had packed for Ralph. Layson sat beside her, watching as she helped Ralph eat. His voice was calm, but there was a quiet edge to it.“You left all happy, came back all gloomy

  • Reclaiming His Runaway Baby Mama   403 If She Wants My Life, I’d Give It

    “Adela, if you’re not willing to apologize today, I’m just an elder, I can’t force you. But after what happened, it’s hard for me to believe you truly love Layson. Is your pride more important than the love he’s given you?”Richard’s words were a dagger to her chest.Adela felt like she couldn’t breathe—like her heart was being ripped open. Her nails dug hard into her palms as she looked at him coldly.“Richard,” she said through gritted teeth, “I call you ‘Mr. Norman’ out of respect. But using whether or not I apologize to Marah as some test of how much I love Layson—that’s insulting. You want to know how much I care about him? Look no further than the fact that I’m even living in this house. If it weren’t for Layson, I wouldn’t be here. I have my own place—quiet, private, and peaceful. Why would I put myself through this? Did I beg you to let me stay here?”Her voice trembled with rage, her eyes burning. She turned and saw Layson standing there. The sound of his phone dialing echoed

  • Reclaiming His Runaway Baby Mama   402 Apologize for What, Exactly?

    Marah's comment was clearly meant to humiliate Adela—right in front of the kid.Adela didn’t want Ralph to know the real reason she hadn’t been back at the Norman house these past few days. He was too young to be dragged into the mess of adult lies.Layson walked in, loosening his tie. He saw Adela standing by the door and assumed she was waiting for him. He raised an eyebrow at her.Adela caught the look, rolled her eyes at him, and then squatted down to Ralph’s level. “Baby, can you go upstairs with Daddy and help him get changed? Mommy will be right up.”The little boy held her arm tightly and said sweetly, “Mommy, I wanna go with you.”She glanced sideways at Layson, torn. He casually shoved one hand in his pocket, bent down slightly, and wrapped an arm around Ralph’s tummy. His voice dropped into that stern, no-nonsense tone. “Your mom said go with me. What’re you standing there for?”Without waiting for an answer, he scooped Ralph up and walked off toward the stairs, ignoring th

  • Reclaiming His Runaway Baby Mama   400 Putting the Plan in Motion

    Just as Adela was still stewing in her own thoughts, her phone buzzed. It was Sam from the production side.He sounded almost... upbeat.“Adela, soon as I got to the office today, I heard from VP Clark—Enduring Encounter is officially recasting the female lead. Once the new actress is confirmed, things are gonna get real busy on your end.”Very smooth way to break the news: letting her know she didn’t need to worry about being forced into the role, and the project was continuing as planned. Basically: be ready.And yeah—it did make her feel a lot better. The gloom hanging over her finally lifted a bit. She relaxed and even gossiped with Sam a little.“I mean, they'd already locked in Lucy. What happened? Don’t tell me it was because of me?”Sam laughed. Clearly, now that the project was back on track, he was back to his usual self.“I just heard what Clark said. Lucy’s, like, her half-relative or something. Apparently Lucy totally screwed herself. Pissed off the wrong guy, and boom—in

  • Reclaiming His Runaway Baby Mama   399 Come with Me to the Norman Group

    Layson gave a faint smile. “The Norman Group’s not looking to invest in TV dramas right now. But there are plenty of people who’d love to.”With his current resources, investing in entertainment wasn’t worth the trouble. Sure, some investors did it to make money—but most? They had other motives.The Norman family didn’t need that. Back when Richard was in charge, he’d already cleaned up the company’s reputation. And once it passed to Layson? It went from whitewashed to squeaky clean.Top-tier taxpayer, regular charity donor, and stellar public image. Maybe not the flashiest brand in the world—but respected across industries.So no, Layson didn’t need to get involved directly. All he had to do was hint at interest in the project and people would come running—either to kiss up or cash in. He didn’t care why. As long as the job got done.For him, it was a one-sentence task. He wouldn’t even have remembered it if Adela hadn’t brought it up.Hearing he wouldn’t be personally funding the dr
