"Not watching the traffic light, do you have a death wish? Damn it! If you want to die, don’t drag me into it!"Andrew turned his head, his usually gentle face now dark and cold. He snapped at the driver, "Get lost!"The driver, stunned, spat out a curse before speeding off. Lydia sat on the ground, dazed and unaware of what she was doing.Wythe was the first to regain his senses. He whispered, "Thank you for saving us."Andrew quickly helped them up, asking, "Are you both okay?"Lydia instinctively shook her head, but Andrew noticed her arm and knee were scraped. Wythe, in his long sleeves and pants, was better off.Andrew frowned, wanting to reprimand Lydia, but seeing her distraught state, his heart softened. He sighed and gently helped her up."Lydia, come with me for now. We’ll talk about everything later."Lydia finally nodded and followed Andrew to the car.Meanwhile, back at the hotel, things weren’t going smoothly for Lambert. After the initial shock and surprise, he regained
Andrew brought Lydia and Wythe home, harboring his own private intentions but genuinely hoping Lydia could find happiness again."Lydia, what do you want for dinner? How about we go to the supermarket together?"Andrew tried to distract Lydia, but his attempts were futile. She locked herself in the guest room as soon as they entered the house, even kicking Wythe out.Wythe, deeply worried about Lydia, was upset about Lambert's sudden revelation of a child. Despite his anger and sadness, he quickly came to terms with it.Before returning to the country, he and his mother had lived just fine.Even if Lambert was no longer his father, as long as his mother was by his side, he could be happy.Fathers are indeed too fickle!Andrew was disappointed that he couldn't get Lydia to come out, but Wythe tugged at his clothes, "Uncle Fraine, can you get me another cake?"Andrew suddenly remembered that today was Wythe’s birthday, which had been ruined by the unexpected woman's intrusion.His heart
"What does Odelia want to talk about?"As soon as they sat down, Lambert went straight to the point, but this Odelia wasn't about to let Lambert off that easily. She stirred her coffee with a smile."The coffee here is good. You should try it!"Lambert's expression darkened. "Do you want to talk or not? If not, I don't see the point in wasting time."Odelia gracefully pushed the stirred coffee towards Lambert. "Don't be so impatient. You nearly scared me! Remember, I'm pregnant now. If you give me a fright, you'll have to take care of me."Lambert remained silent, his gaze sharp on Odelia. His intuition told him she was not an easy woman to deal with. She seemed thick-skinned yet elusive. His concern now was whether she would really be willing to take the money and leave.Regardless, Lambert wanted to give it a try.Taking a deep breath, Lambert controlled his emotions perfectly. "Odelia, I don't know what you're thinking, but I can tell you straight up, I will not marry you. And as f
Lydia had already stood up from the rock, her long hair flying in the wind.The sunset's glow illuminated her, making her look like an angel ready to leave this world.She stood there, gazing at the turbulent sea, a thought surfacing in her mind:Jump! Since life was so painful, why should she continue to endure?Step by step, she walked forward. Just as she was about to reach the edge of the rock, a voice, heart-wrenching, shattered the air. "Mommy!"Lydia froze, slowly turning her head. Then she saw a small figure running towards her against the sunset.He ran so urgently, tears streaking down his face, his small face red from the exertion, yet unable to stop his steps.Suddenly, he seemed to step on something, tumbling forward, but he quickly got up again.Lydia stood there motionless, her gaze still empty, feeling nothing as she watched the scene unfold.Yes, she didn't care about living anymore, so why should she care about anything else?Lydia turned away and continued walking f
Upon hearing this, Lydia couldn't help but burst into tears!Andrew didn't stop her, only holding her tighter.Lydia nestled in his arms, crying uncontrollably, as if she wanted to wash away all the sadness.Lydia didn't know how long she had cried. In a daze, Andrew helped her into the car.Both Lydia and Wythe were exhausted.As soon as they got into the car, they fell into a deep sleep, not even having dinner!And thus, Wythe's sixth birthday slipped away into the stream of time!When Lydia woke up the next day, it was already noon. She smelled the aroma of food as she got up. Wythe was already happily sitting there, gnawing on a chicken leg.Lydia felt guilty when she noticed his slightly swollen eyes and numerous bruises on his tender arms from yesterday's fall.Lydia's heart clenched. She noticed Wythe looking at her and forced a smile. "Mommy, are you awake? Uncle Fraine made my favorite chicken legs! Do you want some?"Lydia walked over and lifted him onto her lap. "Sorry, bab
Lambert was momentarily stunned, then quickly answered the call. Upon seeing Lydia's name on the screen, his expression softened rapidly.He seemed to forget about the meeting entirely, waving his hand to dismiss everyone and then answering the call."Lydia..."The sudden change in the boss's demeanor left the department employees bewildered.Wasn't this their cold and imposing boss, who could make grown men tremble in fear just moments ago?How could he transform into such a tender husband with just one phone call?However, the department heads were secretly relieved, silently applauding the timely call from the boss's wife.Whoever spread rumors about the boss having a mistress should be dragged out and punished.Judging by the boss's behavior, it was evident that he deeply cared for his wife!Lambert had no intention of continuing the meeting. Since the day Lydia left with their child out of anger, he hadn't been able to contact her.His calls went unanswered, and he couldn't find
Moreover, during this period, Wythe had been catching up on a lot of insider information about the aristocratic families.He knew that in families like the Halseys, having one or two illegitimate children was normal.Consequently, Lambert's previous hundred percent expectation had dwindled to less than sixty percent now, especially with the sudden appearance of an inexplicable third party carrying his child.Looking at Wythe's stubborn little face, Lambert felt an inexplicable heartache. "Darling, no matter what, you are my son, Lambert's son, my one and only treasure! Besides, I never even touched that woman!"Wythe fixed his gaze on Lambert. "Don't think you can deceive me just because I'm a kid! That woman doesn't have superpowers; where did her child come from if you didn't touch her?"Lambert was rendered speechless by his son's words.Then, without a word, Wythe opened the door and got out of the car.He faced Lambert and said, "I'll take the bus back by myself, you don't need t
"Lydia, look at what Wythe has become by staying with you! Does he show any of the nobility of a prestigious family's heir? Of course, coming from a lowly background yourself, we didn't expect you to raise a proper child, but we can't let this child waste away in your hands!""Why waste words on her? Now that Wythe is with us, let's leave immediately!"Nydia, clearly disdainful of continuing the conversation with Lydia, ordered her men to take Wythe away.Thrown to the ground by the bodyguards, Lydia watched helplessly as Wythe was taken away.Her heart felt as if it was being ripped apart. In a desperate move, she clenched her teeth and rushed towards Wythe without regard for anything else.Nydia sneered at Lydia's actions and ordered her men to block her. "Lydia, don't waste your efforts!""Mom!"Wythe's eyes were red, though he didn't cry. Instead, he stared angrily at the Halsey parents, his lips tightly pressed together.The bond they had painstakingly built was now shattered. Th
