Semua Bab Reclaiming His Runaway Baby Mama: Bab 141 - Bab 150

The cool breeze after the rain felt refreshing, but Adela still felt uncomfortably warm. It wasn’t the wind—it was either the small space of the car or the lingering words Layson had said earlier."Why did you drink so much?"Layson’s voice was a bit hoarse. He had smelled the alcohol on Adela’s breath, and despite the fact that she’d clearly been drinking, he couldn’t help but find her even more endearing than usual. But Adela felt a little awkward. She knew she was tipsy, but she also knew she was still aware enough to realize the atmosphere was getting a little... intimate."Cora was in a bad mood, so I just drank a bit more to keep her company."Her speech was a bit slurred, and it made Layson’s throat itch. He tightened his grip on the steering wheel and pressed the gas pedal a little harder, speeding up just enough to get them home quickly but not too fast, so Adela wouldn’t feel sick. As soon as the car picked up speed, Adela felt the pull of sleep and slowly drifted off.Befor

Layson had left Adela’s place early because he had to head to Los Angeles for a business trip. He didn’t want to disturb her, so he didn’t tell her he was leaving. Once he landed in LA, he was eager to call her, but after several attempts, she didn’t pick up.“Boss, this morning you have a meeting with the CEO of an AI company. In the afternoon, we’ll be doing a site inspection.”Barnes briefed Layson on his schedule, but he couldn’t help but notice the small bandage on Layson’s forehead. He had seen Layson earlier that morning, waiting downstairs from Adela’s apartment, and it had raised his curiosity. Layson’s injury wasn’t deep, but it still looked pretty serious with the bandage.“Boss, do you need to go to the hospital to get that checked?”Layson didn’t really pay attention. His mind was preoccupied with Adela. She wasn’t picking up his calls, and now he regretted not saying goodbye to her before he left.“Hmm? What did you say?”Barnes sighed internally. Layson was usually so s

In LA, the tension in the conference room was suffocating. The representatives from the AI corporation were already sweating under the immense pressure. Layson Norman was making things increasingly difficult for them, altering contract terms on the spot, making their original agreement seem almost worthless.“Mr. Norman, these conditions weren’t in the original contract,” one of the braver executives finally mustered up the courage to say.Barnes cast a sideways glance at the man who spoke—he was older than Layson by quite a few years, but he clearly had no idea what kind of storm he had just walked into. Barnes sighed internally, already predicting the outcome. With the way Layson was today, no one was getting off easy.Layson raised an eyebrow, a smirk tugging at his lips—a smirk that sent a chill down the man's spine. The executive shifted uncomfortably in his seat, regretting his words instantly as he wiped the sweat off his forehead.“Oh? Is that so?” Layson’s voice was calm, but

In LA, the chandelier in the private room cast a bright light over the scene. The atmosphere was thick with the smell of alcohol and the sound of clinking glasses. This was a typical business dinner, filled with politicians and influential figures all vying for Layson Norman's favor."Mr. Norman, you're the most renowned businessman in New York. To achieve such success at such a young age is truly admirable. I toast to you!" A portly man raised his glass toward Layson, who sat expressionless throughout the evening. Layson picked up his glass and downed the drink in one go, offering no words in response. The man stood awkwardly for a moment before sitting back down, forcing a smile.The dinner dragged on, with people continuously trying to engage Layson in conversation. Yet, he remained silent, his face dark and unreadable. He drank every toast offered to him, but his demeanor was cold and distant. Everyone found his behavior strange, but no one dared to confront him. The fact that he

Marah had returned home yesterday, only to hear Ralph excitedly telling everyone about his day at the amusement park with his "mom." No matter where she went, it seemed Adela was always there, stealing the spotlight. Frustrated, Marah pulled out her phone and looked at the photos she had taken of Adela and Dexter. She was consumed by jealousy—Adela not only had Layson's attention but also seemed close to Dexter.Marah had always wanted to be the center of attention, but Adela's presence overshadowed her at every turn. Despite living in the Norman household, Marah felt invisible compared to Adela, who had never even set foot in the house yet seemed to dominate everyone's thoughts.When Marah saw Layson storming into the house this morning, she knew it was because he had found out about Dexter and Adela spending time together. She hid outside the door, eavesdropping, trying to understand what made Adela so special that she could cause such a rift between the two brothers.In her jealous
