Chapter 1395: Chapter 1395: She also Yearns for a Home of Her Own_1

Chapter 1395

At the same time, at the Lowell residence.

Along with Chloe Collins, others like Layla Lowell who were also detained had already been released without charges.

After the death of her parents, she had cleared the influences of her stepmother and others. She was now the only one left to handle the Lowell family and Lowell businesses, and she was alone at home.

At this moment, she was slurping instant noodles and watching a horror movie.

This was her secret technique to ward off bad luck - fighting fire with fire, using terrifying movies to drive away misfortune.

In the empty villa, spine-chilling music from the horror movie echoed.

The score played a crucial role in horror movies. Sometimes, the visuals weren’t scary, but the ominous music alone could plunge one into terror.

Layla Lowell was brave, but she too was feeling a little scared. She tried to act indifferent while hugging a tub of instant noodles.

However, at the scream of a character in the movie, she couldn’t help but scream too, spilling the hot noodles all over, obscuring the movie on her computer screen.

The scalding soup rendered her computer useless in an instant. The screen blackened and there was a faint smoke rising from the keyboard.

She sighed, gazing at the night outside her window.

The night was quite beautiful. She thought of the convenience store by the community gate, which had oden, a favorite snack among office workers after work.

Thinking of this, she casually dressed and went out.

Her home was a three-minute walk from the community gate.

As she passed numerous brightly-lit houses, their homely and festive atmospheres warmed her heart.

When she passed a particular house where the joyful sounds of a mother, child and the singing husband drifted, she couldn’t move further.

Her eyes, full of yearning, stayed fixed on the happy family inside the window for a long while.

Their home was less than half the size of hers, but their happiness surpassed hers a hundred times over.

Suddenly, she too wished to start her own family.

She thought, if she became a mother, she would take good care of her health, not fall sick, not leave her child motherless, and find a loyal husband who would not cheat or abandon them.

Perhaps this was the wish of countless young girls.

Suddenly she lost her appetite.

She wandered aimlessly down the street, and before she knew it, ended up in an internet cafe playing games.

As she played, her feelings of loneliness gradually disappeared. Her spirits rapidly lifted, her mood completely swept along by the game, culminating in a victorious smile.

"Haha, big sister is still invincible!" she said to herself, her smile radiant.

Just as she was about to take a drink, an unfamiliar face caught her eye as she turned her head.

There was a woman sitting next to her, currently looking at her friend circle on her phone. The person in the photo was none other than Charles Carrington.

Layla Lowell’s radiant smile disappeared and she muttered an obscenity.

She had always known that Charles was a flirt with girlfriends everywhere, but she never thought she would run into one.

She averted her gaze, put on her headset, intending to play another round.

But her eyes kept straying back to the woman.

This woman... was quite pretty.

Although her features weren’t stunning, they combined to give a very pleasant vibe. Her skin wasn’t too white or too dark, just the right hue.

Based on her attire, she was probably a few years older than her.

Just then, a man joined the woman, carrying a tub of instant noodles, presumably just back from a food run.

As soon as he sat down, he asked the woman, "Sis, are you really trying to hook up with this guy?"
