Bob didn't understand at first, but he soon realized that his boss wasn't joking. As a qualified bodyguard, he quickly understood his boss's intention—it was time for a hero rescue!

"Bring the check over," Lambert ordered.

Bob immediately understood, taking out a check from his bag and respectfully handing it to Lambert.

After Lambert swiftly signed his name and filled in the amount, Bob quickly got out of the car and headed towards the growing crowd.

Leaning back slightly, Lambert's deep black eyes focused on Lydia's bewildered face.

They met again!

As Lambert leisurely watched the scene unfold, Lydia was on the verge of panic.

Her phone's ringing reminded her that it was already 8:50, and it seemed like she would be late for her important meeting.

Meeting for the first time and being late already—would UC still trust her as a business partner?

But this man was stubbornly holding onto her, refusing to let her leave.

Lydia was on the brink of insanity!

"Hey! Let go of me!"

    Lambert's gaze was deep as he looked at Lydia's face through the rearview mirror. Lydia was momentarily speechless. Honestly, she didn't know how to thank this person. Though it might be a small favor for him, Lydia didn't want to owe him this kindness.Just as Lydia furrowed her brow, pondering how to properly thank him, Lambert suddenly spoke up, "By the way, I don't know your name yet.""Lydia Gilford.""Lambert Halsey!"The two exchanged names and fell into silence again. Lydia felt awkward and uneasy, almost forgetting about the cooperative meeting she was already late for.Fortunately, Lambert reminded her in time, "Where are you rushing to?"Lydia was taken aback, her expression instantly turning grim. "Oh no! My cooperative meeting!"She glanced at the time; it was 8:58. Even if she flew there, she probably wouldn't make it to UC on time. She felt a sense of disappointment."What's wrong? Where are you headed?""Do you know about Universal Conglomerate? I have a meeting at 9,

    A few days later, at the largest hotel in the city - Queen Hotel.At this moment, it was bustling with activity, with countless reporters flocking here.They orderly entered the hotel lobby with their respective press badges. Once inside, the reporters began gossiping with acquaintances.Anytime, gossip about wealthy families was their favorite topic!"Why such a big fuss today?""Don't you know?

    The reporters keenly sensed that there must be many untold stories behind this, which immediately excited them."Amélie, we heard that your career abroad is doing well. Why did you decide to come back to inherit the G Group?""Do the directors of G Group know about this? Is it a mutual agreement, or is it just your wishful thinking?""The G Group is currently under the control of your father, yet you claim it belongs to you. What does that mean?"One question after another was thrown at Lydia like snowflakes, but Lydia sat calmly on the podium, her gaze sweeping over the reporters, and the venue fell silent."First of all, I appreciate everyone's presence here. I will answer each question one by one. I believe everyone is well aware of how my father, Harlan Gilford, took over the ZQ Group from my mother."At this point, her eyes lowered, showing a poignant expression, unable to speak yet wanting to. It was truly pitiful.Many sighed sympathetically. This was one of the most famous gos

    Maggie pushed through the crowd, approaching Lydia.With a thud, she knelt before Lydia, then slapped herself hard across the face. Even Lydia was startled by this sudden turn."Lydia, I know you blame me! If I returned after six years only to find my husband married to someone else, I wouldn't be able to accept it either! But we had our reasons," Maggie said through gritted teeth, struggling to contain her tears and the anger burning inside her.She looked up at Lydia, her gaze defiant, challenging her to see through any further lies she might fabricate.Tears streaming down her face, Maggie continued, "I know your heart still holds Ron. We had no idea you were still alive back then, and the company was in chaos internally. So, reluctantly, they made me and Ron get married temporarily to protect the company. But now, since you've returned, I... I'm willing to step aside!"As she finished speaking, Maggie's face contorted with pain, her entire being on the verge of collapsing into tea

    Today, Lambert had arranged to discuss business matters with a business acquaintance here, in the private room on the second floor. However, unexpectedly, he witnessed a surprising scene downstairs in the lobby.Lambert had previously lamented the lack of successors for the ZQ Group, but he never imagined that Lydia was the granddaughter of the late Elijah.Watching that woman, as beautiful as a rose, slowly arming herself with the thorns on her body to defend her rights was astonishing, breathtaking.Afterwards, the delicate flower appeared soft and worrisome. The surge of sadness in her eyes was intense and unyielding.Without much thought, in that moment, Lambert set aside all his pride accumulated over the years. He even disregarded his typically calm demeanor.Without finishing their business discussion, he dashed downstairs from the second floor.It was because he noticed the vulnerability hidden in Lydia's eyes.

    When Lydia woke up, the sunlight outside was just right, making her eyes sting as she opened them.She instinctively raised a hand to shield herself from the sun, reflecting on everything that had happened yesterday. She felt a sudden pang of embarrassment.She couldn't believe she had exposed her most disheveled self to a man she somewhat fancied.And to make matters worse, she had blindly followed him home. Though nothing seemed out of line between them yesterday, she couldn't help but blush."You're awake?"A low, seductive voice slipped into Lydia's ears, causing her to involuntarily look up.The man in front of her seemed to have just come out of the bathroom, his hair still dripping, clad only in casual pants.His upper body was bare, the sunlight accentuating his bronzed skin, accentuating his muscular physique. Lydia couldn't help but marvel at his perfect muscle definition.As a fashion designer, Lydia had seen plenty of male models shirtless, but this man, who seemed to be a

    "Lambert, at this rate, you could almost switch careers to become a nanny!" Horace teased, noticing how expertly Lambert cradled the baby.Unfazed by his friend's jest, Lambert beamed with happiness. "You wouldn't understand if you don't have kids. Once you get married, you'll know. This is my legacy, and I didn't get to care for Wythe when he was a baby, so I'm determined to be hands-on with Candice."No one could truly grasp this sense of compensation!Horace rolled his eyes, clearly at a loss for words. It was pointless to engage with someone so enamored with fatherhood.While the men gathered to chat, Thera leaned closer to Lydia and whispered, "So, Lydia, are you really back together with Lambert?"Lydia nodded. "Yeah. After everything that happened, I realized I need to cherish every single day. And Lambert is sincere—I can feel it.""That's great!" Thera sighed in relief, finally putting her worries to rest."What about you, Thera? I see you and Andrew getting along quite well!

    At this moment, Lambert felt completely at ease. It seemed that Lydia's earlier words were not just talk; she was genuinely ready to give them a chance!A smile crept onto Lambert's lips, but there was no time to think of anything else; he needed to take care of their baby, Wythe. Thanks to the maternal training classes he had attended with Lydia, he had learned a lot about caring for newborns. Gently, he picked up his daughter and quickly checked her diaper, only to find that she had wet it.With nimble hands, he changed her diaper, and the little one fell back asleep. Looking at her innocent face, Lambert's heart melted. This was his child, the result of his and Lydia's love.The baby slept soundly, and Wythe had been temporarily taken away by Bob, who had come to deliver some items. Now, only Lambert and Lydia remained in the room, but Lydia, having slept quite a bit earlier, was no longer drowsy."Are you still feeling unwell?" Seeing Lydia frown slightly, Lambert asked with conce

    Lambert glanced at his son's disapproving expression and was momentarily at a loss. "Wythe, you might've looked even more wrinkled than her when you were born, yet look at you now—a handsome young man," he teased, smiling at his daughter. Though wrinkly, he found her to be the most beautiful and precious little girl.Wythe huffed proudly, his lips in a slight pout. "I wasn't this ugly! Besides, you didn't see me when I was a baby." A hint of sadness crossed his face; he hadn't been as lucky as his sister—he hadn't had his dad by his side when he was born.Hearing the touch of bitterness in his son's voice, Lambert immediately understood. Wythe was jealous, understandably so. For all his maturity, Wythe was still just a child. For his first five or six years, he had only his mother and no father. He often envied kids with both parents, and when Lydia finally returned home, her on-again, off-again relationship with Lambert had left Wythe hurt and forced him to grow up faster than other

    Lambert paced restlessly in the hallway, nearly losing his mind. Every moment was agonizing, with Lydia's screams from the delivery room piercing his heart. He prided himself on being strong, yet in that instant, he felt an overwhelming urge to flee, especially as her cries of pain echoed through. Angry at himself, he slapped his own face—Lydia was suffering because of him, and he'd never realized how terrifying childbirth could be."Calm down. This is what childbirth is like," a woman nearby said kindly. She was the mother of a little girl, and both she and her husband couldn't help but notice how visibly nervous Lambert was. "You've been through this once before, so you should be able to handle it," she added."Why isn't it over yet? Is she in danger?" Lambert's mind was in turmoil, fighting the urge to rush inside and see Lydia himself.The little girl's father stepped in, attempting to reassure him. "You and your family will be just fine," he said. The man recalled his own frantic

    At that moment, Lydia was on the verge of total collapse, as if her entire world had crumbled in an instant, and sorrow overwhelmed her.What had she done? What had she been doing these past days?She had been recklessly indulging in Lambert's affection, without any sense of gratitude or restraint. Now, she regretted her actions deeply. If only she had known this day would come, she would never have argued with Lambert or dismissed his love and efforts out of a misguided sense of pride.All she wanted was for him to be safe, to live happily with her and their children, never to be apart.Lydia's vision blurred as she stood in shock, unable to step closer to the crowd to confirm what had happened. But through a gap, she caught sight of a blood-red stain spreading across the ground. The sight was so jarring that it felt as though her heart had been ripped out of her chest."Mom, are you okay?"Wythe ran over, panting, to see Lydia sitting dazed on the ground, staring at the red stain in

    Lambert's words made Wythe roll his eyes, secretly exasperated. What was going on with his dad? Wasn't everything decided? Why was he suddenly backing out at the last moment?Men! Their thoughts are just impossible to figure out!Lambert had indeed changed his mind unexpectedly. He didn't want to deceive Lydia, even if it was just a harmless joke. Something about it felt wrong. Even if it was to bring them closer, lying to her didn't seem right.Wythe's plan had been simple he wanted Lambert to stage an accident, making it seem like he'd been hit by a car. He was certain his mom would show her true feelings; if she still cared for him, there was no way she'd just stand by. It was a good plan, but now that the moment had come, Lambert didn't want to test Lydia this way.People's feelings shouldn't be tested.Wythe grew increasingly anxious. They'd prepared everything, but now his dad was retreating? That wasn't like him at all! Taking advantage of n

    Half a month had passed since Lydia's last check-up. Lambert continued caring for Lydia with the same attentiveness, unbothered by her cold attitude towards him. Although her indifference saddened him, he was undeterred; his determination grew in the face of difficulty, a testament to his personality.But little Wythe had had enough. He felt it was time to give his parents a nudge towards reconciliation. Yes, it was his turn to step up!So, one morning, when Lambert went out early to buy groceries as usual, Wythe found an excuse to tag along. Lydia didn't think much of it; over time, she had noticed Lambert's earnest efforts and couldn't deny feeling somewhat touched, even if her heart remained conflicted. Deep down, she feared reopening herself to love, only to be hurt again.After all, "Once bitten, twice shy," as they say. Lydia never saw herself as particularly brave—in fact, in love, she was timid and afraid. She longed for a peaceful, uncomplicated l

    Once, Lydia believed she and Lambert would grow old together, inseparable and loyal. But her genuine love had only brought repeated hurt and disappointment. That's why she had fled Nova City, leaving behind everyone she knew, so this time, she refused to open her heart again.Lambert sighed, his tone gentle. He knew Lydia wouldn't easily open up to him again, but he didn't mind; he was willing to wait. Determined, he led her to the prenatal clinic, aware of the many tests ahead—ultrasounds, blood tests, monitoring the baby's heartbeat—a series of over ten examinations. Each department was exceptionally busy, requiring an immense amount of patience.Throughout, Lambert remained unwaveringly attentive, showing no sign of impatience. He stayed by Lydia's side with the eager anticipation of any expectant father, his heart fully in it.Before the ultrasound, Lydia needed to drink water, but Lambert, inexperienced in these matters, hadn't prepared any. She didn't feel inclined to remind him

    Happiness, it seems, makes people wish the same for those around them. Like the husband in the next hospital bed—he had the sense to keep quiet the moment he sensed the tension between Lydia and Lambert.Lambert didn't seem to mind Lydia's sudden outburst. He simply took off his suit jacket, now stained with soup, and said regretfully, "The soup spilled, Lydia. I'm afraid you'll have to wait a little longer. I'll have someone bring a new one right away! Why not have a piece of cake to tide you over?"Lambert's calm demeanor only made Lydia feel as if her anger was landing on nothing but soft cotton, frustrating her even more. What was Lambert up to? Was he mocking her on purpose?It was infuriating!Lydia knew her emotions were out of sorts lately. Ever since Lambert left, she hadn't had much of an appetite. When she found out his trip was delayed, everything around her began to irritate her. It was as though a cloud of anger clogged her heart, but she couldn't find a way to let it ou
