Chapter 428 Wanted to Eat Him Alive
She smiled, “Everyone can see exactly what you’re after.”
Liam stared back, totally confused. “What?”
Layla burst out laughing, thoroughly amused by his reaction.
A warm light flickered across Liam’s eyes as he watched Layla laugh so hard.
He did not mind being teased-as long as Layla was happy.
George had been heading out early and coming back late with Carson these past couple of days.
Every time he returned, he carried a huge snakehead fish.
Layla moved fast and handled things with great skill.
Fishe
She gutted the snakehead fish, pulled out its round, bead-like organs, and tossed them over to George. Her motions were so smooth it looked just like tossing scraps to a dog.
Even so, George lit up at the treat Layla threw his way and ate with obvious enjoyment.
Oliver stood off to one side, his tone sharp with mockery. “You really will do anything just to win Layla over, won’t you?”
George rolled his eyes and shot back with sarcasm. “You’re just mad you don’t get any of this.”
Oliver’s temper flared. He rolled up his sleeves, ready to start a fight with George.
Layla narrowed her eyes sharply. Both men instantly backed down and fell quiet.
Yates stood nearby and grinned foolishly at the whole scene.
Meeting Layla on this show had been pure luck for him.
As a beastkin with almost no survival skills, he would have gotten pushed aside in any other group.
And he would have quit the program long ago.
The main reason Yates had come back to the show after the Quetzalcoatlus attack was Layla.
He held no romantic feelings toward her and simply thought Layla was a genuinely good person.
Yates wanted to stay close to her. Anyone planning to hurt Layla would probably overlook him, writing him off as a useless weakling.
If he could still run and jump, he might somehow manage to help Layla out.
All of a sudden, Layla set a plate of tender, pale fish meat down right in front of Yates. “I made this just for you. Go ahead and eat. The sauce is mixed with special wild herbs-it should suit your taste.”
Yates stared at Layla’s gentle expression, and his eyes slowly filled with tears.

No one besides my mother has ever treated me this well.
Lada turned her head and spotted several males staring hard at Yates, their eyes full of raw jealousy.
Fin
She rubbed her temples, helpless. “There’s enough for everyone. The way you guys are looking at him. you’d think you wanted to eat him alive.”
George came charging back, hauling an enormous snakehead fish over his shoulder. “Layla, look-this one bigger than all the rest.”
Layla blinked at the sight. George carried a fish nearly as tall as Carson.
She had been squatting beside the stone mill mixing sauce. She lifted her head to watch him.
George wore an obvious look, begging for praise. Layla reached out and stroked his damp hair. “Great job. I’ll make fish-ball soup for you tonight.”
Carson walked in from the woods at that exact moment. He carried a bundle of green wood branches across one shoulder.
In his hand he held several dew-covered fresh herbs, gathered per Layla’s request.
He set the wood beside the cooking fire, walked over to Layla, and took the grinding pestle from her hands. “I’ve got this. Go check how Prof. Slater is coming along with the medicine.”
Layla stood up and brushed powder off her clothes, then headed toward Shane’s small room.
She pushed the door open and smelled a soft herbal scent right away.
Shane sat at his table. He held a dropper and squeezed liquid drop by drop into a tiny porcelain vial.
He seemed almost finished.
‘Layla’s eyes lit up. She stepped up to him and spoke softly. “Is it done?”
Shane looked up at Layla and smiled.
He held out the small porcelain vial toward her. “This should slow the effects of the Berserker Serum for a short while. It ought to help Julian calm down.”
Layla took the vial. Shane’s cool fingertips brushed lightly against her hand.
Shane’s face flushed bright red, and he pulled his hand back at once.
Layla chuckled softly as she put the vial safely away. “You’re the one I can always count on.”
If we can get Julian fully on our side, Stella will be in serious trouble.
A faint smile tugged at Layla’s lips when that thought crossed her mind.
She was genuinely looking forward to the birthday party.
