Lydia stood behind a shelf stacked with bags of rice. Due to her accidental bump, the somewhat disorderly bags toppled down, yet Lydia remained oblivious.Lambert's pupils contracted, his mind blank.In that moment, he couldn't think of anything except rushing towards Lydia.Lydia felt a rush of wind and someone charging towards her. She instinctively cried out, and when she came to her senses, she found herself wrapped in someone's arms.Then, she heard the sound of something falling and a muffled groan nearby.Up until now, Lydia wouldn't be considered smart if she didn't realize who had saved her. She carefully grabbed onto the person's clothes, feeling a strange sense of familiarity. Could it be Lambert?But soon, Lydia mocked herself for her thoughts. What was she thinking? Lambert was probably busy fooling around with other women.How could he have time to follow her here?Self-indulgence was most shameful!Lydia quickly dismissed her thoughts, but she was still grateful to the
The man had extraordinarily beautiful hands. His long, elegant fingers held a crystal wine glass, swirling the red wine inside with casual grace.He tilted his head slightly, letting the vivid red liquid flow into his thin lips.A trickle of wine slipped from the corner of his mouth, trailing down into his partially unbuttoned shirt, exuding an irresistible allure.Odelia's eyes lit up. She had to have this perfect specimen of a man!The object of Odelia's desire was none other than Lambert, who had come to the bar to drown his sorrows.After two bottles of XO and more than half a bottle of red wine, he was finally a bit tipsy.On the surface, though, he seemed unaffected, with only a hint of intoxication in his eyes.Odelia picked up her wine glass, contemplating how to approach this exceptional man. As she walked over to Lambert, she realized that he was even more stunning up close.His chiseled, sharp features, combined with his cold yet sexy demeanor, created a captivating contrad
Odelia sat on the hotel floor, biting her lip as she watched Lambert's departing figure. Her eyes flickered with a trace of unwillingness.Upon returning to his villa, Lambert felt his entire body aching, especially his back, which hurt so much that even walking felt unnatural. Slowly, he made his way to his room, collapsing wearily by the balcony to smoke. His heart felt empty, much like this room he hadn't rested in for a long time.Though the room was always cleaned and still orderly, it inexplicably made him feel incredibly lonely. Yes, lonely. For the first time, Lambert experienced this feeling. Even as a child, when his parents left him alone at the Halsey estate, he never felt this lonely. Staring blankly at the sky outside the window, he couldn't help but wonder, what was Lydia doing right now?As he pondered, a sharp pain stabbed through his stomach, as if countless needles were piercing through it, bringing cold sweat to his forehead. He clutched his stomach tightly, his li
Andrew's expression turned grim at Lydia's words. Regardless of whether Lambert was truly ill or pretending, Lydia's behavior revealed one thing: she still hadn't let go of Lambert.Andrew knew that it would take time for Lydia to move on from this relationship, but he had believed she was already heartbroken enough to stop caring about Lambert.Clearly, he had underestimated Lambert's hold on her.As the silence stretched on, Lydia grew more uneasy and guilty. Her long eyelashes lowered, and she appeared apologetic. "Andrew, I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't be so unprincipled, but... but I am still his wife. I don't want to just walk out of his life so inexplicably.""I understand. If you've decided to go see him, I'll take you. If Lambert is really seriously ill, you won’t be able to care for him alone," Andrew said, suppressing his jealousy and keeping his tone calm.Lydia felt deeply grateful. "Really? Thank you, Andrew!"Andrew said nothing more, fearing that speaking might reveal h
Lydia's tone carried a hint of displeasure, but also a warmth that melted hearts. When she realized she had unconsciously spoken as she used to, a slight blush crept up her cheeks.Seeing Lydia like this, Lambert couldn't contain his emotions any longer.He stood up from the sofa, crossed the coffee table in a few strides, and sat beside her, pulling her into his arms.The sudden embrace startled Lydia. Tears welled up in her eyes. She had thought he would never hold her so tenderly again.Warm breath brushed against her ear, accompanied by a low, seductive voice, "Lydia, are you worried about me?""I... I just don't want our baby to be sad."Lydia's ears turned red, and she heard the man holding her sigh deeply, his head resting on her shoulder. "Lydia, let me lean on you for a while."Lydia didn’t push Lambert away.She could clearly feel Lambert's breath so close, making her heart race. No matter how much time passed, she seemed unable to be immune to this man."I'm very happy," La
The warm breath overwhelmed all of Lydia's senses, making her fearful yet irresistibly drawn to the man.The familiar warmth made her reluctant to let go. In the next second, Lydia felt herself being lifted into the air.Instinctively, she wrapped her arms around Lambert's neck, feeling utterly safe nestled in his embrace.After closing the bedroom door, they passionately kissed each other, as if only through this could they fully express their intense emotions.Lambert's strong fingers replaced his lips and tongue, teasing Lydia's skin inch by inch, igniting her desire.Her fair skin blushed a faint pink, like a delicate flower, sweet and irresistible.Lambert had reached his limit of endurance. The woman before him was his wife, his lover.His heart sank deeper and deeper for her, his body screamed to possess and claim her completely.Even though this wasn't their first time together, he still felt as if their souls were merging.In the moments when they were united, they realized t
Lambert hung up the phone, leaving Andrew in a daze. He put down his phone and glanced again at the apartment door, which had been closed for three days.Stumbling slightly, he walked into the elevator, his face pale as a sheet.He had let his love slip away with his own hands!At that moment, Andrew almost berated himself for his foolishness, but then he thought about Lydia's future happiness.His own suffering seemed trivial in comparison.He loved her; it wasn't about her. This was his own love, and as long as she was happy, that was enough.Andrew exited the apartment building in a daze. The weather outside was beautiful, with the blazing sun filtering through the roadside trees.The brightness made Andrew cover his eyes, which began to burn.Eventually, tears started to fall through his fingers, making him feel incredibly fragile.Lydia had no idea that while she was regaining her happiness, a man was weeping for her. At that moment, Lambert was guiding her into a car."Where are
Pag wanted to explain further, but Lambert had no interest in hearing more.He waved his hand, signaling for Bob to take the woman away. Then, he grasped Lydia's hand. "Lydia, do you believe me now?"Lydia nodded. In truth, she had believed Lambert hadn't betrayed her since he brought her here. Hearing Pag's words only solidified her belief that Pag was behind everything.Despite her annoyance with Pag, Lydia couldn't help but worry that Lambert's actions might be inappropriate."Lambert, what are you going to do with Pag? Will she report to the police? After all, kidnapping someone is illegal."Lambert smirked and leaned down to kiss Lydia's forehead. "Are you worried about me?""Of course. What if something happens to you?"Lydia blurted out before blushing at her own words. Lambert chuckled softly. "Lydia, do you think I'm that foolish? Don't worry, I'll just give her a small lesson. Nothing serious."Lydia felt a bit reassured, although Lambert's idea of a "lesson" wasn't as simpl
