Lahat ng Kabanata ng Reclaiming His Runaway Baby Mama: Kabanata 251 - Kabanata 260

Natalie was slightly taller than Adela. She walked ahead with her head down, clearly deep in thought.Adela, fingers tapping her chin, found herself wondering—how tall exactly was Dexter? She pictured him standing next to Natalie. Yep. Totally harmonious.In her mind, Natalie already felt like Dexter’s not-so-official fiancée. Which only made her more curious about the girl.The garden path was softly lit by scattered lamps, casting a gentle glow on every corner. Without needing any help from the staff, the two strolled along the cobblestone path.They stopped at a wooden swing. Natalie casually sat down and started rocking gently, her eyes fixed on the stars above.Adela took a seat on a nearby tree stump. She stayed quiet too, not rushing to speak.“I thought you and Layson would be staying somewhere else. I came by tonight just hoping to run into you. Didn’t expect my luck to be this good.”Adela chuckled softly, “Yeah, we just moved back to the main house today.”The swing paused,

Although Adela found Richard’s comments exasperating, she realized upon closer thought that every piece of furniture in the study had soft corner guards—something she initially mistook for decorative touches.Only after hearing Richard's words did it hit her—he was worried she'd bump into something.She really didn’t know she came off as so fragile and clueless in Richard’s eyes. After the two elders headed upstairs to rest and Layson still hadn’t come home, Adela grew a little worried and decided to wait for him in the living room.It was nearly ten o'clock when she finally heard the sound of the door opening. She quickly stepped toward the foyer and saw Barnes helping Layson inside.“Adela, the boss had a bit to drink at dinner,” Barnes explained.Adela nodded and reached out to support Layson, but Barnes didn’t let go, worried she was too petite and delicate to manage on her own. He helped Layson to the couch before handing Adela his bag.“I’ll take my leave now. Please look after

Natalie had barely finished slapping Andrew when tears instantly welled up in Hannah’s eyes. She sniffled and walked toward Andrew, wanting to say something, but the moment her eyes met Natalie’s sharp gaze, she immediately dropped her head, not daring to speak.Adela set down her teacup and walked over to Natalie’s side. She was pretty sure that if she didn’t intervene, Natalie really might beat Andrew to a pulp right there and then. She couldn't help but worry a little about Dexter’s future married life with this girl.Shaking off those messy thoughts, she leaned in to whisper, “Keep it down. If you’re too loud, you’ll wake Dexter.”Dexter was still recovering. The last thing he needed was a noisy room. Natalie ultimately restrained herself and didn’t lash out further.Pointing a finger at Hannah, her tone was no longer soft and girlish, but cold and commanding, “Andrew already said this has nothing to do with you. So sit down and stop wandering in front of me.”Hannah turned pale i

Layson set his phone aside, wrapping his arms around Adela, resting his chin gently atop her head. His tone was lazy and teasing. “Didn’t someone just say she wanted to stay by my side, hmm?”Adela clearly heard what he was implying but chose not to respond.They checked into a new hotel. Adela sat curled up on the sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing absentmindedly at the ocean view outside. The more she thought about it, the more she realized—she barely knew anything about Layson’s circle of friends.Aside from the few business partners she’d met at the Norman family matriarch’s birthday banquet, she couldn’t recall Layson ever mentioning a friend.To her, his past was a blank page.But to him, she was an open book.Her birth parents, adoptive family, her little sister Herbie, her friends, her colleagues—even Jenny, who occasionally called her from abroad—Layson knew it all. It was as if even the years she spent overseas weren’t hidden from him.By five in the afternoon, Lays

Ever since hearing Kennedy was suffering from depression, Adela had lost her appetite. She stirred her drink absentmindedly, her mind drifting somewhere far away.Layson thought for a moment, then slowly asked, “Two years ago—by then we’d already been out of college for five years. You’re telling me Kennedy still remembered me?”He knew the girl had once liked him, but he had always been distant, never showing interest in any woman, never even giving a hint that could be mistaken as affection. That was why Diana thought he would stay single forever and had secretly arranged a surrogate.And for a long time, he thought she might’ve been right—until he met Adela. Thinking of her, the sharpness in his gaze softened.Luke looked down at his wine glass, his expression unreadable. “After graduation, Kennedy realized she had no chance with you. Heartbroken, she left for Europe. Her family had some connections there, and with her talent, she quickly rose to Vice President at ES Group.”“You w
