Lambert gazed deeply at Lydia, unable to comprehend her thoughts. Women were indeed the hardest to understand.

He had believed Lydia went to great lengths to find him, hoping he would regain his memory and they could live together again.

But now, she was saying they were not suited for each other?

"Is this all you want to say to me?" Lambert's brows furrowed as he suppressed the inexplicable anger rising within him.

Lydia looked up and glanced at him briefly before lowering her eyes again. Her tone remained calm and steady.

"Yes, that's all I want to say. Isn't it the only thing I can say right now? After all, you've completely forgotten everything. The joys and sorrows of the past are just memories for me alone now. Besides, you have a new fiancée and were even on a honeymoon with her recently. So, Mr. Halsey, what should I say to you? What can I say to you?"

There was an unintentional hint of grievance in Lydia's words. Lambert's pr

    Nydia sighed at Flora's words. "From what I know of Lydia, she's incredibly stubborn. She only becomes more determined when faced with setbacks. Otherwise, she wouldn't have kept trying to get close to Lambert after he lost his memory."Flora rolled her eyes. No wonder Odelia had called her for help dealing with that mother and son. Nydia was indeed too soft-hearted."Nydia, how about I meet with Lydia myself?" Flora suggested."Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?""I’m Odelia’s aunt. Besides, I’m doing this for Odelia’s sake. It's no trouble at all. Of course, if you disagree, I won’t push it. After all, your son seems quite taken with her.""Why would I disagree? Flora, if you can persuade Lydia to leave, I'd be more than happy.""Really? Then I'll handle it. Leave it to me."Nydia's expression relaxed considerably. Flora getting involved seemed like a good choice.Flora, however, was secr

    Lydia was surprised and looked up.Thera, however, immediately adopted a stern expression, exuding a powerful aura as she glared at Flora. "Who are you? What do you want?"Thera, with her years of experience as a renowned magazine editor-in-chief, intimidated Flora for a moment.But Flora, accustomed to her status as the mayor's wife, quickly regained her composure.She gave Thera a disdainful look. "You're from the Arliss family, right? Don't worry, I'm not here for you."Thera retorted, "Good, because I’ve never seen anyone like you in my social circle!"Thera's sarcasm made Flora's face darken.Flora prided herself on her nobility and looked down on younger people. She turned to Lydia and said, "Are you Lydia?"Lydia met Flora's gaze without backing down. "Isn't it more polite to introduce yourself before asking someone's name, ma'am?"Lydia didn't know who this older woman was, but it was clear she was here to

    "I think it looks like a pregnant mistress confronting the wife.""Not necessarily. Maybe the pregnant one is the wife. Mistresses nowadays are bold and wouldn’t kneel.""She might be a slut, acting all weak and pitiful...""Alright, let's just watch!""…"Lydia felt uneasy. What was this woman up to?Odelia began to cry. "Lydia, please stop clinging to Lambert. You have so many young, talented men around you, like Andrew and Mr. Arliss. Even without Lambert, you would do just fine. But I only have Lambert, and now I'm carrying his child. I can't lose him, and the baby needs a father. Please, have mercy on my child."Lydia’s face turned pale, her lips tightly pressed together. Odelia’s kneeling made it seem like Lydia was forcing her.Lydia stood up, intending to leave, but Odelia clung to her legs."What are you doing? Let go of me!"Lydia's face darkened further. She felt like she was de

    As the car stopped at the entrance of the neighborhood, Thera noticed a tall man standing outside Lydia's villa.Recalling the reports from the bodyguards and Lydia's previous words, she immediately understood the man's identity.Thera's anger surged.Holding Lydia with one hand and Wythe with the other, she strode toward Lambert.Seeing Lydia and her son, Lambert's expression softened, his eyes filled with a faint affection. "Lydia, you're back!""Mr. Halsey!" Thera's tone was icy. "Why are you standing here all day? Are you here to disgust our Lydia? Do you think she's easy to bully because she has no family? Let me tell you, from the day she became my god-sister, the Arliss family has been her family."Lambert was taken aback but quickly responded, "Thera, I...""Don't 'Thera' me! We're not close. What do you want?"Lambert felt like he was dealing with a fierce sister-in-law. He composed himself and said respectfully, "I don't intend to do anything until Lydia forgives me. I just

    Lydia lowered her head, her emotions complicated.The food tasted bland in her mouth, and her long eyelashes trembled, masking her nervousness.Suddenly, a slender hand reached across the table and touched Lydia's chin.Startled, Lydia instinctively slapped it away. "What are you doing?"Lambert's hand was immediately reddened by the slap, but he didn't seem to mind.He kept his eyes fixed on Lydia. "Nothing, you had a piece of vegetable on your face."Lydia blushed at his words, feeling a mix of anger and embarrassment.She lowered her head and resumed eating, her mouth moving rapidly, looking just like Wythe beside her—like two hamsters.Wythe, observing the scene, rolled his eyes internally. Even with amnesia, Dad's tricks were still top-notch.The breakfast was awkward and bizarre, though Lambert found it immensely satisfying. After breakfast, Lydia thought Lambert wouldn't bother her again.However, within half an hour, he returned, this time claiming he had no cleaning cloths an

    Lydia tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. Finally, she got up, exasperated, and quickly ran to the door, throwing it open.Lambert was sitting on the steps outside his villa, head lowered in thought.When he saw Lydia open the door, he smiled brightly, like spring flowers blooming.Lydia's mood lifted involuntarily, though she coughed to steady herself. "Why are you sitting outside my door in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"Lambert, looking somewhat helpless, said, "I forgot my keys and can't get into my house. Could I possibly...""Don't even think about it!"Lydia cut him off before he could finish.She knew his borrowing things earlier was just a pretext to get closer. That damned Lambert, she wouldn't be fooled again!She went back to her room and slammed the door shut. She didn't want to admit it, but her heart had fluttered when she saw Lambert outside.Watching the door close, Lambert sighed. It seemed he was destined to sleep outside tonight. He wrapped hi

    "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
