Chapter 148 Stay Away From Adela

• Adela sat on the couch in her dimly lit living room, her fingers lightly touching her still-warm lips. The taste of Layson lingered, leaving her heart in a state of confusion. She hadn’t turned on the lights, and the shadows around her mirrored the haziness in her mind. Last night’s events replayed in her head—Layson’s sudden appearance, his forceful kiss, and the way he had left without a word. Despite the chaos, there was a fleeting moment where Adela had felt something she couldn’t quite name.
• By the time dawn broke, Adela was still sitting on the couch, unable to bring herself to return to bed. The past two days had been a whirlwind of emotions, and she couldn’t shake the feeling that her life was spiraling out of control. As sunlight filtered into the room, the shadows receded, and Adela finally took in her surroundings, her thoughts still tangled.
• Meanwhile, Layson had also spent the night awake. His car had remained parked outside Adela’s apartment complex, the engine silent as he sat in the driver’s seat, sobering up. The alcohol had worn off, leaving him with a clear mind and a heavy heart.
