BXBX NOVEL Chapter 278: Layla
" Goddess Damuda, can you please open the po- "
Before Jayden finished his sentence, a portal appeared in front of him, stepping through it he arrived in front of the battle field in Devlocsea.
He saw that all three assassins and the two former Coven members were practising, so he went back straight to meet his wives.
Within a few minutes he arrived in front of Alice\'s house, but since she wasn\'t there, he decided to go where the rest of his wives trained.
This time, he directly teleported there and found that Alice was also present there, walking closer to them he spoke:
" Hey everyone, how is your training going? "
Hearing his voice all the women stopped their cultivation and looked towards the source of the voice, where Jayden was standing with a smile.
" Darling!! I was just thinking about you. " Sasha said, as she ran and took him in a tight hug.
" Hubby, see I just broke through, hehe. "
Alice said as she walked closer to him.
Jayden hugged her tightly feeling the warmth of her soft body, after giving a peck on her delicious lips, he spoke:
" Congratulations dear, if I had known earlier I would have brought something tasty to eat. "
" Haha, darling what could be more tastier than you? " Eleanor said seductively, as she coiled her arms around his neck and gave him a small kiss, that was a bit longer to be just a peck.
Jayden caressed her cheek, sometimes she acted so shy and sometimes so bold and seductive, but he loves every side of her.
"..." Sophie just hugged him tightly, enjoying his body\'s warmth and scent, as she rubbed her head on his chest.
" I missed you, darling. " She said and Jayden replied with a kiss in her lips
" Brother, I completed all my work. " Emma said, as she climbed into Jayden\'s arm, waiting for his praises.
" My princess, I\'ll bring you a lot of chocolates next time and then we will all go together to the Murim world. "Jayden said, patting her head gently.
" Hehe," Emma giggled in his arms, after she got what she wanted.
" Master, even my speed of Cultivation has increased by a lot. "
Lisa said giving a hug to Jayden, she wanted to kiss him too but didn\'t try in front of his wives, since all of them still needed some time to get used to it all and she was satisfied with just a hug, for now.
" Master, thank you for everything. " Ivy said, and hugged him intimately.
Jayden smiled at his maids and spoke: " Both of you have been working really hard, I\'ll give you good rewards soon. "
Both Lisa and Ivy were happy to be praised by him, as they stood with smiles on their faces.
" Hello Jayden, thanks for all the gifts. "
Layla said, referring to the things she had brought during the sect competition.
" Hey Layla, don\'t mention it, you can buy whatever you want to, next time we go there together, I got a lot of money recently. "
Jayden said with a wink.
Layla just smiled, she seemed as if she wanted to speak more but she held herself back, Jayden noticed it and decided to talk to her later.
Then all of them went to the house Alice is staying in and stayed there for some time, they ate food and chatted among each other, and when it was finally the time to leave, Jayden decided to talk with Layla.
" Layla, can we talk for a moment? "
He asked, calling to her.
She was surprised since Jayden had never really talked to her much, but after a moment she nodded and followed behind him.
After walking to an empty place, Jayden turned around and asked:
" So, why do you look so worried and absent minded? "
Layla was again surprised that he noticed it, she tried to hide her emotions with a smile and said:
" Why? Are you worried about me? Haha, you are just imagining things. "
Jayden looked into her eyes, he had always treated her as a part of his family, and although he hadn\'t talked much with her he knew what kind of person she is.
Even though on the surface she might seem like a woman who only loves expensive things and don\'t care about others, but internally she is very warm, caring and smart.
She had been helping Eleanor with her business in their world, even though she could have just lived a carefree life like her brother, but because she was grateful towards her aunt she decided to take some of her burden and just in a matter of some time, Layla had taken over half of the burden of her work.
In looks, she wouldn\'t lose to Xiao Rong or any other beautiful woman, with her shiny red hair and her charming face that could easily make any man infatuated with her, she looks like the younger version of her mother, who was in the top three beauties in her world when she was alive.
Layla\'s eyes dimmed slightly and she knew she couldn\'t hide anything from him, in her world she was one of the most talented in cultivation, even while managing the family with Eleanor, she took out enough time to cultivate.
When Jayden had asked her to go to a different world, the main reason she came was because she didn\'t want to part with Eleanor, who is almost like a mother to her and she was also quite curious about the new world after seeing it all in Jayden\'s memories.
But after some time had passed, her growth in cultivation had grown slower to a point of no advancement while all the other women were breaking through so easily, even if they were to put less effort into it they could still cultivate much faster than her.
Even if she tried her best, Layla could only see as all the other women surpassed her at lightning speed, even Ivy who had just become a part of Jayden\'s family was about to surpass her.
Even though she didn\'t want to think about it but Layla couldn\'t stop herself from fearing that one day all of them would just move to a place she could never reach and she would be left all alone standing there.
Aside from them, Layla has no one in any world, whether it be her original world or Earth or Murim\'s world, she would be all alone if she couldn\'t catch up with them.
And what Layla feared the most was being left alone, and the only way she could think of to advance was by becoming a part of Jayden\'s family, but asking about it to Jayden made her feel like she is being too greedy and selfish.
" I- I don\'t know how to say it. " Layla said, showing a weak side of her to Jayden, normally she acts so cheerful and likes to joke a lot.
