Semua Bab Reclaiming His Runaway Baby Mama: Bab 111 - Bab 120

Feelings can erupt in an instant, but they can also be extinguished just as quickly. Layson felt a dull ache in his head, and when he finally propped himself up, he realized he had been lying on the couch. The whole room smelled strongly of alcohol. He glanced at the clock—it was already 3 a.m. The stillness of the night made him feel more awake than ever.Meanwhile, Leopold Davis was jolted awake by his phone ringing. The caller ID showed Layson Norman, and it was well past three in the morning. He thought, Layson must be out of his mind, calling this late."It's three in the morning, what do you need?" Leopold mumbled, still groggy.Layson’s voice was low and a bit seductive, carrying a hint of impatience. "I need Cora's number and the address for where they’re staying in Florida."Leopold, still half asleep, didn't know how to respond to Layson’s unexpected request. Layson pressed his fingers to his temple, trying to ease the headache that had started to form. He’d been thinking ab

The rain showed no signs of stopping, and it seemed to grow heavier with every passing minute. Standing in front of Layson Norman, Adela could feel the cold raindrops soaking her clothes. Despite her surprise, a part of her knew instinctively that they couldn’t just stand there in the downpour."The rain's too heavy. Let’s find some place to shelter for a bit," Adela said, her voice almost lost in the sound of the rain hitting the ground.Without waiting for an answer, she grabbed Layson's arm and started walking. He barely reacted, a small smirk playing on his lips as he allowed her to pull him along. What used to irritate him—the damp, wet days—now felt almost welcoming. Something about the rain, about being here with Adela, made everything feel strangely right.They found refuge under a roof that had been shut off for the night, a small, overhanging awning protecting them from the downpour. Adela brushed the water off her clothes, and Layson put the umbrella away, both of them sile

After returning from Florida, Adela hadn’t seen or heard from Layson Norman at all. It was as if he had vanished. Even the usual office gossip about him had completely died down. She found it strange, but more than that—she felt… unsettled.For someone who had been avoiding him for so long, she shouldn’t have been bothered by his silence. Yet, she was. Keeping tabs on him had somehow become a habit, something she did without even realizing it.Cora stepped out of the conference room and immediately spotted Adela lost in thought again. Since their return, Adela had been like this—distracted, absent-minded. Then again, maybe she had always been like this.Cora still found it odd, though. Leopold had told her that Layson had traveled to Florida with him, but strangely enough, no one had actually seen Layson while they were there. When Cora had asked Adela about it, she had stuttered through a vague, unclear answer.Then, after they got back, rumors began circulating in New York’s busines

Dexter took Ralph back home. He knew Layson didn’t want them staying at the hospital any longer, so he had practically pushed them out. Ralph sulked the entire car ride, clearly unhappy about leaving. He had wanted to stay by Layson’s side, but his father had been firm about sending him home. No matter how much he protested, Layson was even more stubborn.Dexter wasn’t surprised. He had already figured out that this had everything to do with Adela. His older brother had fallen hard.He never imagined Layson would take things so seriously. Years ago, he had resented him for what he had done to Adela, but looking at things now, maybe… this was fate.Dexter had been back in New York for some time now, but he hadn’t yet seen Adela. Even so, it seemed like her name was everywhere. It was as if she had always been a presence in the Norman family.But there was no longer any love left in his heart for her—only the most sincere blessing for an old friend.“Ralph, do you want your mom and dad

In the bedroom, Ralph excitedly pulled out his brand-new gaming console, a gift from Dexter. He was eager to show it off, but Herbie wasn’t as interested. Her thoughts were elsewhere—she still wasn’t sure who the woman outside was.Leaning in closer to Ralph, she kept her ears trained on the conversation happening in the living room. But all she could hear was the sound of the game playing.“Ralph, who’s that lady with you?” she finally asked.“My grandma.”Ralph answered casually, focusing on his game.In truth, it had been Ralph’s idea to bring Diana over. After returning home with Dexter the night before, he had immediately sought out his grandmother, explaining that Layson refused to stay in the hospital and that he was desperate to see Adela. Ralph believed that if there was anyone Layson would listen to, it was Adela.“Your grandma?” Herbie’s heart skipped a beat.She had no idea what Diana’s attitude toward Adela was like, nor did she know why she had come here today.
