“What?” Layla blurted out. “Wait...am I going for the check-up today?”

She tried to sound calm, but the shock slipped through her voice anyway. Isn’t that too quick? she thought, panic stirring in her chest as her mind immediately jumped to her daughter. Any appointment today meant she wouldn’t make it in time to see her.

“Yes,” Lucian replied evenly.

“Isn’t that too fast?” Layla widened her eyes, disbelief etched across her face.

“The earlier, the better,” he said, cutting a piece of his

    ♥♥♥♥“Okay, I will tell you whenever the time comes,” Layla said softly, nodding as though she had just made a quiet promise to herself.She served his food carefully and sat down close to him, their shoulders almost brushing. The warmth from his body made her slightly aware of how close they were.“Good girl,” Lucian said playfully, reaching out to mess with her hair.“Stop it,” Layla mumbled under her breath, though he couldn’t hear her. A shy smile spread across her lips anyway, and her cheeks turned faintly pink.Lucian had no idea the effect his small gestures had on her. To him, it was natural. He simply felt relaxed around her...at ease in a way he rarely experienced. He found her reactions cute, unintentionally charming.“Wow,” he gasped after taking a spoonful of food, his brows lifting in surprise.Layla leaned forward slightly. “How is it?” she asked, her eyes filled with anticipation.“It’s delicious. You’re amazing,” Lucian praised her sincerely, taking another bite witho

    ♥♥♥♥The two of them maintained an awkward silence, the unspoken tension lingering in the air, but the atmosphere was suddenly interrupted by the sharp ringing of Lucian’s phone.The sound jerked him out of his thoughts.....and startled Layla as well.“Hello,” Lucian answered curtly as he stepped out of the kitchen. He walked outside to take the call, his expression turning serious within seconds, while Layla quietly began setting the table.“I can’t wait to eat,” she giggled to herself, admiring her masterpiece. The dishes were arranged beautifully, the aroma filling the dining area with warmth.After waiting for a while, she considered going outside to check on him, but before she could move, Lucian walked back in.“Lucian,” she called, relief flashing across her face. She motioned for him to sit down, but he remained standing.“I am sorry, Layla. I have to go,” Lucian said hurriedly, already reaching for his car keys.“What? What about dinner?” Layla asked, her eyes shifting to the

    ♥♥♥♥Lucian was alerted the moment he heard her scream, and he quickly reached out, preventing her from falling.His arm wrapped tightly around her waist. Layla, who had thought she was going to hit the floor, opened her eyes slowly, trying to confirm how safe she was.“Lucian…” she called his name, embarrassed.“This is the second time this has happened, I think. Mrs. Hilton, be more careful?” Lucian teased, his voice low and amused.“I am sorry,” she said, her cheeks turning red, because she could not ignore the way his fingers were still resting against her waist, warm and firm.“Do you want me to take you to your seat, or do you want to stay like this for now?” Lucian asked, a naughty smile playing on his lips.“I… I…” Layla stuttered when she realized she was still pressed against him. She quickly straightened up and regained her balance.“Thank yo.....” Layla began, but her mouth fell open when she noticed the pastry she had been holding now lying scattered on the floor.“What d

    ♥♥♥♥“Mr. Hilton, welcome,” the lady rushed toward Lucian with a practiced smile, her tone suddenly syrupy. But Lucian ignored her completely, his attention fixed elsewhere.“Did you bring your wife here? Where is she?” the lady asked, her eyes scanning the room as though Layla did not exist at all.Lucian let out a sharp scoff.Layla, standing beside him, didn’t need words to know....his anger was simmering dangerously beneath the surface. His jaw tightened, and his shoulders stiffened, radiating cold authority.Every customer in the restaurant had gone quiet now. All eyes were fixed on the three of them.“Are you the manager here?” Lucian asked calmly, though a forced smile played on his lips....a smile that held no warmth.“Yes, sir,” the lady replied quickly. “I’m sorry about the commotion. I’ll make sure she leaves now.”She gestured toward the security guards, signaling them to escort Layla out.Lucian’s eyes darkened instantly.“If any of you take one more step toward her,” Luc

    ♥♥♥♥The morning sun seeped softly into the bedroom, its pale golden light filtering through the tall windows. A gentle breeze slipped in, nudging the curtains into slow movement as they danced lazily to an unspoken rhythm.Layla was already awake.She was dressed neatly for the trip, yet instead of standing or moving about, she sat quietly on the edge of the bed, her shoulders slightly slumped. Her phone rested in her hand, the screen glowing faintly. There was a sadness clinging to her expression....one that no amount of preparation could erase.After hesitating for a moment, she dialed Amara’s number.She needed to hear about her daughter.Once the trip began, she knew she would be glued to Lucian’s side until it was over, and the thought alone tightened her chest.“Hello,” Amara’s voice came through the phone.“Good morning, bestie,” Layla replied, trying to sound cheerful despite the weight pressing against her heart.There was a brief pause on the other end. “What’s wrong with y

    ♥♥♥♥“Serve the food,” Lucian ordered as he settled into his chair, his posture straight, commanding without effort.“Okay, sir,” the maid replied promptly, bowing before moving forward.The dishes were being arranged neatly on the table when Layla appeared at the entrance of the dining hall. Her steps were hesitant, her presence quiet but noticeable.“Good evening, ma’am,” the maids greeted in unison, their heads bowed respectfully.“Evening,” Layla replied softly, returning the greeting as she walked toward her seat.“Be careful,” Lucian muttered under his breath, watching her closely as she lowered herself into the chair beside him.“Thank you,” she smiled faintly, adjusting her position.Once the last plate was set down, Lucian dismissed the maids with a wave of his hand. The room grew quieter, the soft hum of distant lights the only sound filling the space.“Let’s eat,” he said calmly.“You first,” Layla replied politely, turning slightly toward him.Lucian paused, his gaze linge
