Rotten Twins: Making a CEO a Daddy novel Chapter 268

“I’m appreciating you, of course!”

“Appreciating me?” Lyla raised her eyebrows.

“I know all about what you said downstairs!”

At that, Lyla pulled down her lower lip. “Don’t be obsessed with me. I’m just a legend!” Lyla walked over and put her bag down before sitting on the sofa.

Mark leaned over and pressed himself to her. “I find that I love you more and more!”

Lyla made a disgusted look. “I told you, don’t worship me too much!”

“No, I’m worshipping you more and more now and found that I can’t live without you. Beautiful lady, please marry me!”

“Sorry, but I’m happily single!”

The two adults played childish tricks like these.

Looking at her, Mark went up and kissed her on the lips...

Lyla did not move away and also reached out, wrapping her arms around him.

…....

Lyla must be the most popular person in M.K right now.

No one knew who it was who spread Lyla’s words and actions to the Internet. Her temperament and style of conversation soon became something that everyone wanted to imitate.

No matter how hot the Internet became, Lyla always lived her life with a low-profile.

However, this day, Amelia asked her out.

When Lyla arrived at the cafe, she was already there.

Lyla walked over and sat in front of her expressionlessly. “Do you need something from me?”

Amelia looked at her. She had thought for a long time before mustering the courage to ask her out.

“There’s something I want to say to you!”

Lyla lowered her eyes. “Go on!”

“Your dad’s company is going bankrupt!” Amelia said.

Although Lyla thought a lot about this by herself, hearing this still made her stunned.

“The reason why I looked for Mark Pattinson is because of this!”

“What has that got to do with me?” Lyla retorted.

“Are you really that indifferent?” Amelia asked.

At that time, Lyla leaned forward and looked at her. “Half of that company, that belonged to my mom, has completely been handed over to you. What else do you want?” Lyla asked.

Amelia was stunned. “The company isn’t just mine, but also your father’s. It’s your dad’s hard work. Even if you hate me, can you really stand by and watch your father’s company close down?”

“If I didn’t know Mark Pattinson, what would you do?” Lyla retorted.

Amelia was stunned before saying, “There’s no point talking about ifs. Lyla, you can hate me, but you can’t just stand by and watch your father’s hard work destroyed!”

Lyla pursed her lips and did not speak.

The corners of Amelia’s mouth lifted in a cold smile. “You should know how much I hate you, but I still came to you for this matter. I’m begging you. You have to help your dad!”

Lyla remained silent.

“I admit that I was at fault before, but your father and mother no longer had feelings for each other. I know I was despicable to intervene, but your father and I are truly in love!”

Truly in love?

Lyla laughed sarcastically at those words. “Can you ruin someone else’s life just because you’re truly in love? My mom passed away so long ago, but have you ever felt a little guilty?”

“It’s because your mother refused to give up!” Amelia screamed.

After shouting this, she seemed to notice that she had become slightly agitated. The people around also looked over at her. Amelia glanced at them and forcefully held back her anger. “You should know very well that your mom was sick. If she let go earlier, things wouldn’t have turned out this way. It’s because of her obsession that it ended up like that!” Amelia said.

Lyla’s lips hooked up at her words. “Are you done?”

Amelia frowned. “You still refuse to help your dad?”

“I think it’s more appropriate for you to start over. That way, it can prove how much love you have for each other as a couple!” Then, Lyla stood up. “I wish you two happiness!”

Then, she left.

“Lyla Lowe, you—”

Amelia looked at her and wanted to say something, but she did not dare to scream since there were people around. After all, they were a hot topic for the news and would be besieged by reporters if they were not careful.

Thus, she could only endure it.

She never thought that even though she went to Lyla, Lyla would still be so cold-hearted and indifferent!

Amelia clenched her fists. She was angry, yet did not know what to do.

……

After leaving the cafe, Lyla drove around aimlessly. No one knew what was going on in her head. After driving for a long time, she found a quiet place and stopped.

She thought about what Amelia said. She knew that what happened was not the fault of just one person, but her mother did indeed die because of it.

Until now, Amelia did not have a trace of remorse.

She blinked, not knowing what to do.

After an unknown amount of time, her phone vibrated. She picked it up and saw that it was a message from Hansel. Smiling, she finally started the car and went back.

“Mummy, where did you go today?” Hansel asked. “You didn’t pick up the phone!”

“I went out to handle some stuff!” Lyla smiled.

“Are you especially nervous since you’re getting married soon?” Hansel came over and grinned.

Lyla was stunned. It did not seem like she was.

She did not feel like she was someone about to get married. She did not feel anything at all.

“Not really…” Lyla said.

“I don’t know what else to say besides these two words!”

“Alright, if you really want to thank me, I want you to use actions instead!”

“Huh?”

Mark showed her a wicked smile. Lyla knew what he was up to as soon as she saw that smile.

“It’s late. Go to sleep!!”

“It’s late!”

“Mmh…”

The room was filled with the smell of love.

It was the mingling of two hearts and the union of bodies.

……

Although Lyla did not say anything, Mark could feel that she still could not let go of the Lowe family.

Therefore, after arriving at the company, he secretly looked for a company to give Lowe Advertising Agency some business. Although it was not large-scale, it was enough to get them through this crisis.

He did not say it, and Lyla did not ask. The two knew well at heart, yet deliberately played dumb.

Perhaps this was the only way for Lyla’s heart to feel at ease.

Andrew looked at Mark. “No matter what, I still have to thank you for this matter!”

Mark’s lips hooked up. “I’m not doing this for you. I’m doing it for Lyla!”

“I know!” Andrew nodded and looked at Mark. “It’s her good fortune to find someone like you!”

“Knowing her is my life’s greatest fortune!”

Andrew was stunned. He could see that Mark’s protectiveness for Lyla exceeded his expectations.

He smiled and nodded, but did not know what to say.

“I still have something I need your help with!” Mark said to him. This was his purpose today.

“What is it?” Andrew asked. “If it’s something I can do, I’ll do it!”

Mark looked at him and directly stated his thoughts.

Andrew was slightly stunned. “A-Are you sure?”

Mark nodded.

“But, will she accept it?”

“Lyla isn’t an unsensible person, nor is she unreasonable. This is something you owe her. You should make up for it!” Mark said word by word.

Andrew nodded repeatedly. “Okay, leave this matter to me. I’ll definitely do a good job!”

“The people in charge of this matter are Hansel and Gretel, so I’m afraid you’ll still need to contact them!”
