Good thing I already saved most of the novels on my computer... although there are still quite a few I need to save.

8 new chapters!

Anyway, this was a great story. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys dark romance. I actually love this more than The Problematic Prince, mostly due to the complexities behind Matthias and Layla's feelings.
Thinking of a reread soon to catch anything I've missed the first time through 😊

SS18:
Thus, the story ends with the family of four sharing a heartwarming moment by the riverside 🥰 Wishing Layla, Matthias, Felix, and Leah all the happiness in the world ❤

SS17:
It's so sweet seeing Matthias take care of her during pregnancy like this 😊 Layla must feel really loved.
And she's quite savage for maintaining top-student status even when pregnant 😆

SS16:
That was a beautiful and heartwarming family moment with Matthias, Layla, and Felix 🥰 Soon, Leah will join them too~

SS15:
Glad Kyle got his closure 😀

SS14:
So, even back when Matthias didn't return to Arvis for the summer, Layla had felt the occasional unidentifiable moments of longing for him 🤔

Her first pregnancy was a really lonely experience 😭 This time will be different.

SS13:
"I want to make a baby with you in the midst of our warm, peaceful love. And while the baby is growing inside of me and being born, I want you to be there with me. I might want that time with you even more than I want the baby itself since we couldn't be together when Felix was born."
😭

SS12:
"Let me have it. I want us to have another baby."
Layla 🤣 Are we going to get Leah?!

SS11:
Haha, so Matthias was still the first to give her a rose bouquet, even before Uncle Bill. The rose she just received from Matthias is much more meaningful, however.

SS8:
That's so sweet of him to give her a rose, gently placing it into one of the pigtails on the side of her head 😊 "So pretty. You look so pretty, Layla."

I love how we get further insights into their minds in the side stories.

SS7:
"At the time, she knew that whether he treated her kindly or cruelly, she would end up getting hurt. And yet she couldn't rid herself of her hope. This desperate situation had often brought tears to her eyes."

Layla's feelings were so conflicting back then, all because of her love for him.

SS5:
Swimming lesson for Layla 😄 Hopefully Matthias will be able to help her conquer her childhood trauma.
