"Perhaps there are many flaws I'm not even aware of! Do you still want to beg me not to marry someone else?" Lambert's tone remained calm, though his heart was surely tumultuous!In fact, Lambert had been feeling uneasy lately.Dealing with the insincere people of the Ackley family, he was buying time, hoping to find their weaknesses and bring them down.But now he realized, perhaps Lydia didn't want his silent protection after all.Lambert had regretted locking Lydia in the mansion.Seeing her sorrowful look pained him deeply.When she left, Lambert breathed a sigh of relief, yet felt a profound loss. Had she not yet realized her own feelings?Their mutual love, Lambert felt, was undeniable. However, it seemed the woman he fell for never had much security, nor much trust in him.Often, Lambert felt Lydia was like a traveler, and he was just a passing scenery in her journey, ready to depart at any moment.No pain, no gain!Lambert was always a man of action! Realizing this, he thought
Little did Lydia know, there was a lazy charm in her demeanor now. A mere glance from her seemed like a flirtatious invitation.Lambert couldn't help but approach, "Lydia, if you keep tempting me like this, I doubt we'll be leaving this bed today!"Instantly, Lydia blushed crimson and hastily lowered her head to sip her soup, ignoring Lambert."It seems we haven't taken any wedding photos yet. How about we do a shoot in a couple of days?"Lydia paused, lifting her gaze to Lambert. What did he mean by that?Lambert reached out, smoothing Lydia's slightly disheveled hair behind her ear, his tone casual, "Let's at least have a memento, shall we?"Lydia's heart sank as she struggled to swallow the once delicious soup.Was it really hopeless?Even if she set aside her pride, he was still going to marry Penny, only willing to take wedding photos with her for memory's sake.Unaware of her thoughts, Lambert assumed her bashfulness once again. With a sigh, he walked to the edge of the bed, env
Penny, seated next to Nydia in the backseat of the car, looked visibly nervous. Nydia patted her hand reassuringly, "Silly girl, there's nothing to be nervous about. You look stunning right now. Besides, think about it, this is a symbol of love between you and Lambert. Moreover, the staff at the photography base are all professionals. You don't need to worry."Penny smiled softly, seeming comforted by Nydia's words.Nydia smiled back, feeling pleased. Today was a good day, and she had purposely chosen the most suitable time.The black Bentley slowly pulled up outside the wedding photography base.To facilitate Penny's care, caregivers and emergency personnel followed behind them.If Penny felt any discomfort, she would be immediately taken back to the hospital.Once inside, smiling staff greeted them, "Hello, do you have an appointment?"Nydia nodded, "I've been in touch with your director, Roland. He should have given you instructions on how to proceed."The staff member, particularl
At that moment, Lambert felt his heart racing uncontrollably. This was the woman he had fallen in love with, she was as beautiful as an elven dream.As Lambert admired Lydia with approving eyes, Lydia also looked at him with fiery gazes.In her memory, Lambert rarely wore light-colored clothes; he always exuded maturity, elegance, and composure.However, in that moment, the white evening dress made him appear youthful and handsome.His usually indifferent and stern countenance softened and warmed.Standing in the hall, bathed in the light of the crystal chandelier, Lambert made Lydia's heart melt!In that moment, Lydia didn't want to think about anything else.She just wanted to stay by his side, to hold this man's hand, even if their time together was fleeting.Lydia's heart was filled with mixed emotions, both sweet and torturous."Lydia!"Lambert reached out to Lydia, and she, with a graceful smile, walked towards him and took his hand.Lambert lowered his head and kissed her gentl
Nydia could see that Ogden was genuinely angry, so she decided not to say anything more at the moment.She stewed in her own frustration, increasingly resentful of Lambert's thoughtlessness.Meanwhile, when Penny returned to the hospital, her parents were waiting for her with smiles on their faces."Penny, how did the photos turn out today?" Judith asked cheerfully as she sat down by Penny's bed, absentmindedly peeling an apple.Philip noticed that Penny's expression was off and nudged Judith, gesturing towards her. Judith paused, then asked hesitantly, "What's wrong? Was today not going well?"Penny's face turned livid at the question.Anger surged through her as she angrily knocked over the water glass on the nearby table, the sound of shattering glass momentarily easing her mood."Lambert didn't even show up!" she spat out."What?" Judith exclaimed, her eyes widening in disbelief. "He didn't go? Where did he go?""I have no idea where he went. I waited at the photography site dress
The enchanting music flowing everywhere made everyone eagerly anticipate the upcoming grand wedding!Yes! This was the wedding scene of Lambert and Penny!Nydia, wearing a dark red evening gown, her long hair elegantly coiled up, appeared remarkably youthful despite being over fifty.Ogden stood beside her, also wearing a smile on his face.Nydia's face remained smiling all day, standing at the door welcoming guests alongside Lambert, who was dressed in a black suit.A black stretch Lincoln stopped at the entrance of the estate, followed by several equally expensive luxury cars!As the car stopped, the Nydia couple quickly approached, respectfully standing by the car door. Following behind were several tall, well-trained bodyguards!However, these bodyguards exuded a military demeanor in their every move.The bodyguards quickly lined up in front of the Lincoln, and the leader slowly opened the door.The first thing that appeared in everyone's sight was a slightly withered hand, follow
Philip felt somewhat uncomfortable in his heart, even more so than Judith's excitement and joy, his emotions much more complex.Philip walked behind Penny's wheelchair, gently pushing it, and they walked out of the dressing room, heading towards the church along the red carpet.The solemn and romantic wedding march began to play slowly, and the guests at the venue quieted down, eagerly awaiting the bride's appearance.Inside the sacred church, a kind-faced priest stood there early, and beside him stood today's other protagonist, Lambert!Lambert was dressed in a black handmade suit, with a delicate rose tucked into his chest pocket, exuding elegance! His jet-black hair was all swept back, revealing a full and clean forehead.His cold and stern face still had no expression, but upon closer inspection, there was a faint smile in his obsidian-like eyes, captivating and mesmerizing.Beneath his high nose bridge was a perfectly shaped thin lips, the slight curve at the corner adding to his
On the enormous screen, there were nothing but intimate photos of Penny with various men, none of them the same! At the sight of these photos, Penny screamed, "Turn it off! Turn it off!"Philip was utterly shocked. Coming from an intellectual family, they had raised Penny with conservative values. He had never witnessed such a spectacle before.Nydia was dumbfounded too. How could her envisioned perfect daughter-in-law be such a promiscuous woman? She was trembling with anger, looking at Judith, "You said your daughter has always been virtuous! Is this what you call virtuous?""I..." Judith was speechless. Seeing Penny's devastated expression, she gritted her teeth, "This is a conspiracy! Your son doesn't want to marry my daughter, so he's resorting to this despicable means to ruin her reputation! Lambert! You've gone too far!"Lambert sneered, "Too far? Unfortunately, these are all facts! According to my investigation, your daughter, while in university, changed boyfriends almost eve
