The Wife You Shouldn't Have Lost 097
Layla had been in the office since she arrived, yet not even her staff were aware she was around. The one thing she never thought she would do had been on her mind, and somehow, she still wanted to go through with it.Since arriving at the office, her thoughts had been on the information she was told earlier. She didn't want to believe it was true, but on second thought, what if it wasn't a lie?They hated her, and this could be their way of luring her into a trap so they could hold her captive. Considering Ashley was the one who called, she wanted to believe the authenticity of the news, but Ashley couldn't be trusted.She couldn't dwell on it forever, not when she had jobs to attend to and the show was around the corner. They needed to wrap things up. If Zara died, that wasn't her problem. Zara had never regarded her as a mother, and to date, she still doesn't want to see her.She marched out of the office, striding toward the staff area, when she met a few of them bringing their wo

It was King's first day of school since returning to the country. Layla had promised to enroll him, and speaking to his adoptive father about it had been less stressful than she expected.He had explained that he wanted King to get used to the environment before enrolling him in school.He had left the country with King when he was still an infant who barely knew anyone, and now that he was older and slowly adjusting to the new city, it only felt right for him to start school.“Layla, I'm glad you finally thought about his education. He should have started school immediately after they returned, but because of his condition, he had to stay home.”Layla smiled at the little boy and gently ruffled his hair, making him giggle happily.“He's so excited,” Layla commented.King quickly nodded before scribbling something in his notebook.“Will you be coming to pick me up?”The question made both adults glance at each other.Layla already knew she probably wouldn't be able to make it.The upc

They stared intently at the hospital room door, waiting for either the doctors or nurses to step outside. At that moment, panic was the only thing they understood, and it sat heavily in Nolan's mind.If someone would just come out and tell them Zara was fine, perhaps the tension suffocating them would finally ease.Fifteen long minutes passed before the door slowly creaked open.But no one stepped out.It remained slightly open for a brief second before shutting again.Their hearts instantly sank.Zara had never been a sick child.She was healthy, cheerful, and full of energy.There had never been any serious complaints about her health. Even when she felt unwell, she usually told either Sophia or Ashley immediately, and they never delayed giving her medication when necessary.So how had things suddenly become serious enough for her to be rushed to the hospital?Nolan held tightly onto his wife, who had been trembling ever since they arrived.Zara wasn't Ashley's biological daughter,

Since the incident at Nolan's office, his mother hadn't returned home, and it had him deeply worried.Her phone kept ringing, but she refused to answer any of his calls.Eventually, he reached out to his wife's mother, who confirmed that she had stayed with them for two days before leaving.Sophia had mentioned that something seemed wrong, but all his mother said was that she needed some time away from home before eventually leaving again.Ashley had asked him to stop worrying, insisting that his mother would return once she was ready.That statement had led to a small argument between them, though she later apologized.Zara sat beside him in the living room, waiting alongside him for Ashley to return.He had asked her to call Sophia, hoping she might answer Zara's calls since she had been declining his.“There comes Aunt Ashley!” Zara announced excitedly.He quickly rose to his feet, impatience visible as he watched Ashley descend the stairs.Her face was completely expressionless, i

The information Joshua had shared weighed heavily on Harthwore's mind.He didn't know what to believe or whether he should even believe his son. Every one of them was filled with doubt.There was no way he could easily accept that the people they considered their closest friends — people they regarded as family — could do something like this to them.What could possibly be their reason?They hadn't accepted Layla as their lost daughter, but even if they had planned to adopt her, that shouldn't have been anyone else's concern.Joshua glanced up from his laptop to look at his father.Since walking into the office, Harthwore had remained standing silently, one hand resting on the desk while the other stayed on his waist.It was almost amusing how calm he appeared on the outside, yet Joshua understood his father well enough to know otherwise.Learning that a family he respected so deeply might have had something to do with his sister's gallery fire was not something Harthwore could proces

The airplane landed, and passengers began stepping out one after another. Among them was Joshua, who had quickly wrapped up his work and returned home.He was still on a call as he stepped down from the plane, striding toward the exit while waiting for his ride.As he walked, not only did his appearance attract attention, but the paranoid tone in his voice also caused people to stare.He ended the call and picked up the incoming call from his father.“Hey, son! Has your plane landed?”“Yes, Father. I'm currently heading to the exit.”“They are on their way to pick you up. See you at home!”“Alright, Father. I'll be there soon.”The call ended, and he continued walking while glancing around for the car.The moment he stepped outside the gate, he spotted them already parked nearby, waving at him enthusiastically in welcome.“How was your flight, boss?”He nodded.“Very well. Let me hear everything you've gathered so far.”He settled comfortably into the car, dropping his phones beside h
