Chapter 278: Layla

" Yes yes, look at this paragon of virtue, who can't keep himself from helping those poor wives. Hehehe " Anna said, laughing.

After chatting with her for a little longer, Jayden decided to go and spend some time with his wives.

" 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.

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.
