Chapter 116 Because Of You

• 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.
