Chapter 499 – An Unbreakable Vow with the Heartless Tycoon

And then, Sophie also left after having a small conversation with Leilani.

It was a silent night. Holding Leilani’s hand, Waylen and Leilani walked back to the room. On the way, Leilani felt Waylen’s heat and the beat of his pulse.

“Jamie heard Fiona’s footsteps on that day.”

“Footsteps? That is why you asked all of the guests to walk to the back parlor?”

“Yes.”

“But you don’t have enough evidence. According to the footsteps, you can’t conclude that Fiona is the murder.”

“I deliberately asked Jamie to go to the police station.”

“I had gotten it. You want Fiona to be nervous, and then we can get some evidence.”

Hearing Waylen’s answer, Leilani stopped and held his face with both hands, complimenting him, “My husband, I find you become smarter.”

The way Leilani called Waylen made Waylen become joyful, “Is there any reward?”

“What do you want?”

“I will accompany you to pay a visit to Mr. Clifford.”

Leilani was lost and then shook her head because Andrew once said he would engrave her name on the tombstone.

Leilani thought it would be better not to see it for Waylen.

“You can’t reject me,” Waylen then held Leilani’s waist. Leilani had thought Waylen would kiss her, but he just picked her up. Moreover, her legs are so long that she had to put on his waist.

“What are you doing? Let me go, quickly,” Leilani said. This posture was not polite. Besides, Leilani became hot because Waylen rubbed her body.

Although it was night, they still met some bodyguards and servants. When they saw Waylen and Leilani, they quickly gave way.

“One month later, I want to make love in this position. Now we can have practice.”

Then Leilani took a bite on Waylen’s shoulder. When she heard the rapid and hurried footsteps, she struggled hard, “Let me go.”

At this time, a maid hurriedly came before them and said, “Mrs. Bamford, I don’t know why the little princess keeps crying all the time. Gabrielle and I had tried everything to comfort her, but we failed.”

The maid suddenly realized what Waylen and Leilani were going to do, so she bowed her head and added, “We had assumed that she was hungry, so we made the milk for her, but she didn’t drink it. Besides, we checked her diaper. It is clear.”

Leilani pushed Waylen, saying, “Let me down. I need to see the baby.”

Leilani was afraid that it was the function of toxins. Because of the toxins, the baby cried, but she can’t talk. So she had to cry to express herself.

Waylen was worried too, so he put Waylen down and walked to the bedroom with her.

As soon as they walked into the room, they just heard Gabrielle’s voice. She was holding the baby, swaying gently, and singing to the baby, but the baby kept crying.

For comfort, Gabrielle walked to the colorful rotating rattle, but the baby cried more loudly, which made Gabrielle become more nervous.

At that time, Leilani quickly walked over and held the baby, “Let’s me try.”

“Sister, I don’t know why the baby kept crying.”

The music from the toy made Leilani upset, so she asked the maid to turn it off. To their surprise, as soon as the music was gone, the baby gradually stopped crying.

“The baby doesn’t like music.”

Waylen frowned and then touched the baby’s head, saying to the maid, “Throw the toy away.”

“Wait for a second,” Leilani stopped. She stared at the colorful toy and said, “I remember that the toy is sent by Diana, right?”

It started jiggling after the maid touched it. All sorts of jingle bells were tied up to the toy with different sea creatures kids adored, like a hippo, little dolphins, clownfish of green, blue, and orange colors, which were different from traditional colors. These bright colors were specially made to soften the lightness. They weren’t so blaring.

The piece was the traditional one, Iris Twinkle Toes. She didn’t know why the baby didn’t like it. But the look Waylen gave her was odd.

“Are you suspecting something more now?”

Waylen didn’t challenge Leilani in a questioning tone. But he used the word “more.” He made Leilani feel like she invented something from nothing. Diana didn’t do anything, but she already took her as a cartoon villain.

Everything Diana did had a hidden agenda as Leilani was concerned.

“What if I am suspicious?”

Leilani gently patted on the baby’s back. Even if she was too sensitive, she was persistent. She was poisoned in Bamford’s house, and she needed to watch out for everything.

Even if Diana was gone, it didn’t mean everything was back. She used to do all the cooking on her own. Now she had Sarah, and she was trustworthy. So she let Sarah do most of the things.

But not everyone could understand why Leilani was so careful, even Waylen.

“What do you want from me?”

Leilani was uncomfortable with Waylen’s fake help. It felt she was making a scene. She shook her head. As she was about to say anything, Waylen said to the maid staring at the toy, “Give it to Tinder and have it tested. I want results tomorrow.”

The maid took the toy fast from the crib and left. Gabby sensed something was wrong between Leilani and Waylen. She was about to excuse herself when her phone beeped. It was Bryan who told him there would be a dinner for the film crew this night. He asked if she could drop by. She held the phone like holding the lifeline without hesitation and said to Leilani, “Sis, umm, my crew has an event tonight. Em, I’m leaving now.”

Leilani didn’t make her stay. She asked the maid to send Leilani to the mansion. And the driver drove her off.

After gabby left, the baby gradually stopped crying. After Leilani left her to Sarah, she went into the bathroom.

Waylen followed her. Leilani pulled up the wall and ignored Waylen. So he came over, grabbed her shoulder, and made her face himself.

He slid down her beautiful back with think and dry hands. Then he was touching her tight butt and moved it up.

Leilani shouted out in surprise and was held up.

She was still wearing the dinner gown for the birthday party of Waylen’s grandmother. She wore black high heels and held her legs around his robust waist. She was against the wall outside the bathroom.

He looked down to touch his forehead against hers. He said, “The test results are back tomorrow. Why aren’t you happy?”

Leilani still had a poker face though her looks were bright. She didn’t look back at him and said coldly, “Do you think I’m paranoid and act up for nothing?”

Waylen withdrew his feelings and patted her butt, “Your highness, whatever you think and whatever you do is right.”

“Hypocrite.”

“How come?”

“You subconsciously choose to believe Diana. But you’re afraid I get mad. So you take the toy for testing.”

Afterward, Waylen paused for a few seconds. Leilani slightly squinted and sneered, “I guess I’m right after all.”

“Okay, fine, I admit that I don’t think a toy can do much harm. Your hostility is so transparent from when she gave us watches, toys, and you’re hostile to her mother. If you admit you’re jealous, I would be over the moon.”

Leilani glared at him. But she couldn’t explain. If it was not jealousy, what was it?

She was never jealous of any woman from Leonie Summer to Rebecca Arlington. But she was different from Diana. Even if Waylen has explained thousands of times there was nothing going on between them, nor did they have intimate actions, she couldn’t help standing on guard.

She wasn’t the sort of woman who would die without man’s love. So she tried everything she could to get away from him and reject him. But now, she suddenly realized Waylen was more and more important in her life.

She loved him more than she could expect.

Maybe she was too sensitive. Her poison had been transferred. She had enough time to walk with Waylen. But why did she keep feeling not reassured?
