"I see, thank you for the reminder. I hope we can still cooperate in the future," Lydia's tone carried a hint of melancholy.Although she hoped these people would stay, she was acutely aware that even if they did, it wouldn't change the current situation.Lydia sat there, not even knowing when Jafar and the others had left. Prima walked in with red eyes. "Madam, what should we do now? We only have four designers left, and two of them are interns from design school."Lydia furrowed her brow, her palms clenched so tightly her nails dug into her skin.But she didn't feel the pain.There was no light in her eyes, and the thought of her years of hard work going to waste made her heart ache like a knife cutting through it.Jafar was right; she had no talent for business.Even though she had established the studio, she seemed unable to manage it properly.Back in Paris, her success was largely due to not having to manage a studio. She just needed to focus on designing.Prima stood there wait

"You should take a look at your studio; there's hardly anyone left!" Ryan was pressing."I don't need your concern," Lydia's tone was equally firm. In her heart, the studio was like her child, and she would never sell her child!Lydia's defiance thoroughly angered Ryan. He sneered, "Lydia, I'm willing to sit here and discuss cooperation with you out of respect. But honestly, your small studio doesn't really matter much to me.""Is that so? Then why are you so determined to acquire my company? Clearly, it still holds some value, doesn't it?""You!" Ryan was rendered speechless by Lydia's words. But Lydia didn't want to waste any more words on him. She turned to Prima and said, "Escort Mr. Ryan out."Ryan sneered, "Lydia, it seems you're stubborn to the end. Well, let me show you something."The secretary who had come with Ryan immediately took out a document from his briefcase and placed it in front of Lydia. Ryan suddenly chuckled, "Oh, I almost forgot you can't see anymore. So, Prima

Lambert sneered coldly, his indifferent gaze sweeping over Ryan, making him feel a chill down his spine."No choice? Mr. Ryan, you really overestimate yourself. Craig, please show this Mr. Ryan what's what, so he doesn't get confused!" Lambert ordered."Yes!" Craig signaled to the lawyer beside him, and a formal document was placed in front of Ryan.It clearly stated the acquisition of Lydia's studio by Universal Conglomerate, making it a subsidiary.Ryan's eyes widened in disbelief, especially when he saw that the contract was dated today!It was obvious that the decision had been made as soon as they received the news.No matter how much he refused to believe it, the contract was valid!And with this, his plan to acquire the studio was completely ruined!Ryan slumped in his chair, realizing that his schemes to trap Lydia had backfired on him.He had dug a hole for Lydia to fall into, but he had ended up falling into it himself?Frustration overwhelmed him! Argh!"Do you understand n

All the previous feelings of loss and frustration quietly disappeared in this warmth. Lambert turned his head to look, and the soft yellow light gently illuminated Lydia's face, making her look incredibly beautiful.With a faint smile on her lips and her long eyelashes drooping, covering her beautiful eyes, she looked like a graceful butterfly. Lambert felt intoxicated.As the music ended, Lambert asked, "Want to give it a try?""What?" Lydia was still immersed in the melodious music, taking a while to come back to reality. "But I don't know how.""It's okay. Just follow me."As Lambert spoke, he stood up and walked behind Lydia, suddenly lifting her up. Lydia let out a surprised cry, and before she knew it, she was sitting on Lambert's lap, her cheeks blushing.Then, a strong hand held Lydia's fingers, guiding her to dance across the keyboard.When the simple yet beautiful music flowed out, joy filled Lydia's face. She turned her head. "Did I succeed?""Yes! I told you, you're amazin

As Nydia arrived at the beauty salon, her beautician greeted her personally. "Mrs. Halsey is here? Are we doing a full-body treatment today, or just focusing on the face?""My shoulders have been a bit sore these days, so let's do a full-body treatment and a full-body massage," Nydia replied.The beautician smiled warmly. "Alright, and Flora is here today too. You two can have a good chat.""Flora is here today?" Nydia's face lit up with joy.Flora's husband was in politics and knew Odgen. While Nydia and Flora hadn't met before, they hit it off during their beauty treatments and became friends.Since the incident with Penny, Judith hadn't contacted Nydia again, which saddened Nydia deeply. They had been friends for many years, and it was regrettable that their children's actions had caused this rift. Nydia felt guilty because the situation was partly their fault. Consequently, she became even more resentful towards the instigator, Lydia.Flora's presence compensated for Nydia's longi

"What's wrong with you?" Nydia set down her handbag and sat beside him, her tone filled with concern. "I should have taken you out with me to clear your mind, instead of letting you brood alone at home."Odgen rubbed his temples. "You're back? Lambert has disappointed me so much. He actually decided to accompany that Lydia to the US for surgery!""What? When did this happen?" Nydia was astonished; she had no idea about this!"It happened just these past few days. I heard the plane tickets are already booked for the 3rd of next month. Lambert has been working overtime these days, seemingly preparing to finish all his work for the next month!""Nonsense! Wasn't it said that there would be important personnel changes in the company next month? This is a critical period for the company. How can he just leave?""You're right! I don't understand what's going through his mind. Even if he temporarily delegates some work, it doesn't mean there won't be any unexpected situations later!""It's a

When Lambert heard Nydia's noticeably despondent tone, he felt a bit stifled. His tone softened unconsciously. "I didn't mean it that way. I just found it strange. Mom, haven't you always disliked Lydia? Why would you suddenly call?""Dislike her, but isn't she useful now? You're married, and there's Wythe. Even if I don't care about you, I should still care about my grandson, right?"Although Nydia's tone still carried some anger, to Lambert, it sounded much better. "Really? Thank you, Mom.""I heard you're going to the US. I have several friends there. Should I give them a call to arrange something for you?""No need, really. We'll be at the hospital as soon as we arrive. Let's not trouble them.""That's not trouble at all. But since you insist, forget it then. What about Wythe? Is he coming with you?""Yes!""That won't do. You're going for medical treatment, not vacation. Who will take care of Wythe? How about you send him over, and we'll take care of him for this time?"Nydia's t

Wythe chimed in, "Don't worry, Dad. I'll take good care of Mom!""This...""That's a good idea," Horace said. "Lambert, you don't need to worry about Lydia. I'll help take care of her. You go check on the situation and come back as soon as you can.""Alright, I understand."Lambert didn't hesitate any further. He leaned down and kissed Lydia on the forehead. "Thank you, Lydia."Lydia blushed, feeling shy as they were still at the airport. "You should go. We'll be waiting for you in the U.S.!"The announcement for boarding came again. This time, Lydia didn't hesitate. She took Wythe's hand and said softly, "Sweetheart."Wythe responded in a tender voice, "Mom, I'll take good care of you." He glanced back at Lambert before leading Lydia towards the terminal. Horace waved at Lambert, signaling that he would take good care of Lydia.Lambert didn't linger. He was more worried about what had happened to his father.Lambert hurried to the hospital, where he saw his father lying in a hospital

Once Lydia calmed down, she realized Lambert had already come in. Given Wythe's presence, it was obviously unrealistic to ask him to leave.Seizing the moment, Wythe turned to Lydia and said, "Mom, can I stay with you tonight?"Lydia nodded without hesitation. "Of course you can! Where else would you stay?"As she spoke, she shot a glance at Lambert, her eyes clearly indicating that she wanted him to leave as soon as possible. He was just too much to deal with.Unfortunately, Lambert didn't take the hint and instead asked, "Lydia, you only have a small bed here. Wythe won't fit; I think he should stay at my place."Although it was just next door, Lambert's place was vastly different—a spacious two-hundred-square-meter apartment with three bedrooms and two living areas, while Lydia's was only about ninety. As soon as he moved in, Lambert had redecorated one of the rooms specifically for Lydia.Before Lydia could respond, Wythe looked at

No matter how upset Lydia felt, Lambert followed her like a shadow. However, he managed to avoid any more foolish actions after their earlier confrontation, even going so far as to apologize.He was humble, hoping to cheer her up, but she remained as cold as ice, leaving him in despair."Dad, I've arrived at Y City Airport! Come pick me up!"When Lambert received Wythe's call, he felt like a savior had arrived. Ever since their argument over Lydia's job, she hadn't spoken to him at all. Initially, she wouldn't let him in, and now she didn't even open the door. If she saw it was him through the peephole, she would resolutely stay inside!With that attitude, even Lambert's best efforts were useless.Wythe's arrival was the perfect catalyst to break the deadlock. Delighted, Lambert headed straight to the airport after dropping off Lydia's meal, as usual.Meanwhile, Lydia was fuming at the sight of meals consistently hanging on her door. She cou
Pregnant After One Night Stand With Billionaire Chapter 602 The Overbearing Man
Lambert presented himself as refined, but his underlying dominance was unmistakable. "That's not the case, Principal. I'm just worried about Lydia's health. She's pregnant, and she's caring for a class full of four- and five-year-olds. If something were to happen, it could be very dangerous for her."The principal furrowed her brow, eyeing him curiously. His concern seemed more like that of a family member than a parent. "While your point is valid, we've already considered this. Surely, you wouldn't expect her to be dismissed? After all, maternity leave is an option now...""Maternity leave is limited," Lambert replied firmly. "Besides, you must know that Lydia can't stay here forever."The principal felt uneasy. Lambert's demeanor and attire suggested he was no ordinary individual; why would he want his family working in such a small place? Something felt off."On what grounds are you so sure?" she asked.Lambert responded with unwavering confiden
Pregnant After One Night Stand With Billionaire Chapter 601 The New Neighbor
Meanwhile, Lydia was feeling quite emotional in her room. The impact of seeing Lambert, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, was overwhelming. He had lost quite a bit of weight, and from his words, it seemed he had been eager to find her ever since he left.It would be a lie to say she wasn't touched; he truly cared about her. She had always held onto him in her heart and never let go. However, the idea of going back because of this was unlikely; after all, she was a stubborn person, and once she made a decision, it wasn't easy to change her mind.Lydia hoped that Lambert would take the hint and leave soon so her life could return to normal. Otherwise, her heart would be in turmoil!As Lambert, whom Lydia hoped would leave, was knocking on the door next door, an elderly man in his sixties opened it, eyeing Lambert suspiciously.Lambert straightened his clothes and spoke with a gentle tone, "Hello, I'm Lambert. The thing is..."Lydia, completely obl
Pregnant After One Night Stand With Billionaire Chapter 600 The Mediator
Using their son as a shield might seem a bit embarrassing, but it was undeniably effective. Sure enough, upon hearing Wythe's name, Lydia paused her resistance to Lambert. She struggled to move her legs and began to make her way toward her home.What should have been a short ten-minute walk turned into a half-hour ordeal due to Lydia's difficulty in moving. During this time, she even awkwardly made a trip to the restroom. As she entered the later stages of her pregnancy, not only had her legs swollen, but her trips to the bathroom had also increased significantly. Just moments ago, she had finished a latte, which made the situation even more awkward—suddenly needing to find a restroom while walking.Lambert, while unaware of the many inconveniences pregnancy could bring, couldn't help but feel like a negligent husband and father as he watched Lydia struggle. He realized he knew nothing about what she was going through. Seeing her in such discomfort made his heart

Lambert closed his eyes, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart. He had truly found Lydia!"Sorry, Lydia, I think I got a bit carried away!"Could this be a dream? If it is, he hoped he'd never wake up.Lydia was at a loss for words. This wasn't just being a bit excited; he was clearly overwhelmed!She decided to change the subject. "Lambert, how's Wythe doing?" Her son was the person she cared about most, and the one she felt she owed the most to."He's fine, but he really misses you. I didn't expect that after all this time, you wouldn't even call once."Hearing this, Lydia lowered her head, guilt washing over her. In some ways, she knew she hadn't been a very good mother. She had neglected her son for her own feelings."I'm sorry..."Lambert sighed softly, a mix of emotions swirling within him. "You don't need to apologize, Lydia. It's all my fault. If I hadn't misunderstood you, you wouldn't have felt the need to leave Nov

Debby felt a sudden jolt, her ears turning bright red. Being caught doing something wrong and exposed in public was a uniquely uncomfortable experience."Uh, I..."Lambert's heart raced. Could it be that he finally found the right place? Was Lydia really at this kindergarten?Fearing he might startle her, he spoke gently, his tone patient. "Debby, there's been a misunderstanding between Lydia and me. I care about her deeply, and I can't lose her. I don't know how you've interpreted our situation, but as her friend, I assume you want her to be happy too?"Debby hesitated at his words. Was this man truly a scoundrel? Upon reflection, Lydia had only mentioned that she had divorced her partner and left Nova City due to some circumstances. She had never spoken ill of her ex-husband, so perhaps she had misjudged him?Debby's expression shifted, yet she still seemed unsure. Lambert seized the moment to ask, "Debby, Lydia hasn't left, has she?""How
Pregnant After One Night Stand With Billionaire Chapter 597 Searching for Everywhere
Lydia could hardly believe her ears, but Debby wouldn't lie to her. So, Lambert had really come looking for her.Her emotions were a whirlwind. It had been nearly five months since she left. During this time, she had come to Y City alone, found a job at a kindergarten, and gradually found some peace.Being away from the chaos allowed Lydia to reflect on herself, and she realized that the situation with Lambert wasn't entirely his fault. While he sometimes acted presumptuously, his intentions were good—he always acted out of concern for himself. Each argument only chipped away at their relationship.No bond can withstand constant fighting.Lost in thought, Lydia absentmindedly traced her fingers over her phone screen. Should she reach out to Lambert? According to Debby, he was probably headed to Rong City.She lowered her gaze, her long eyelashes casting shadows over her troubled eyes. When she first heard that Lambert was looking for her, her
Pregnant After One Night Stand With Billionaire Chapter 596 A Fine Line
As Lambert stepped out of the apartment, a lost look lingered in his eyes. For the past few months, he had been caught in a cycle of hope and disappointment almost every single day.He should have been used to it by now, but each time he felt let down, hurt, and increasingly restless. The longer the search went on, the more he worried about whether he would ever find Lydia."Hey, don't be too downcast. Finding someone is like this; as long as you persevere, you will eventually locate them!"Lambert nodded at her comforting words, knowing well that now wasn't the time to give up."Lambert, since you haven't found her yet, what's your next move?"He frowned slightly. "I think I'll stay here for a while. According to the information my friend gave me, there might be another Lydia in City Y."She sighed. "You really have it tough. How long do you think it will take to find her? It's like searching for a needle in a haystack!""It's okay;
