Chapter 269 The Bitch
Last Updated:
2024-09-08 14:07:42Lydia 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

Lydia, exhausted, fell asleep without realizing she had been moved back to bed.Feeling the warmth next to her, she instinctively curled into Lambert's embrace, everything so natural and familiar.Lambert, equally satisfied, closed his eyes again.The atmosphere was peaceful and warm.When Lydia woke up again, she was stunned. She was wrapped around Lambert like an octopus, feeling the familiar warmth from his body.She widened her eyes in surprise, her mind swirling with confusion. How did this happen?She distinctly remembered falling asleep by the bedside.How did she end up in bed, shamelessly hugging Lambert?Oh no, how embarrassing!Lydia's face turned red. She wanted to push Lambert away but feared waking him, so she carefully extricated her limbs.However, in her nervousness, she tripped on the sheets and fell heavily onto Lambert.Lambert couldn't pretend to be asleep any longer. He groaned and opened his eyes.Lydia, extremely embarrassed, jumped out of bed before he could s

Lydia's face turned purple as she read the post.This was outrageous! These people had no idea what they were talking about, spreading rumors like that!Seeing his mom's distressed expression, Wythe hurriedly reassured her, "Mom, don't worry, I'll help you!"Taking a deep breath, Lydia sensed a connection between this incident and Odelia.Thinking of Odelia led her to think of Lambert, the man who had provoked this woman.So, when Lambert arrived with food to thank her, he found himself locked out.Lambert was puzzled. What was happening? Women's minds were truly unfathomable!Feeling a bit down after being shut out, Lambert wondered if Lydia had discovered his little act.Feeling somewhat guilty, he resigned himself to wait outside again, this time directly at the villa's gate.With a tall, handsome man standing at the gate holding food, the neighbors couldn't help but be curious.Although Lydia and her son had recently moved in, they were well-liked in the community, especially by t

Wythe sat in front of the computer, his small hands dancing across the keyboard.Characters and barcodes rapidly appeared on the screen.Lambert raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Wythe, what are you doing?"Wythe's little face was serious as he pouted slightly, not even glancing at Lambert. He only uttered two words, "Counterattack!"Lambert was stunned. He looked at Lydia. "This..."Lydia, knowing that Lambert had forgotten the past and didn't remember Wythe's intelligence, explained, "Wythe has been fascinated by computers since he was little. He has already finished studying books on computer programming. He's writing a program now that will automatically hack any computer that posts videos or negative comments about me."Lydia's tone was full of pride, while Lambert was left speechless.He knew he had a superstar son adored by the nation, but he hadn't realized the boy was a genius!Wythe didn't turn to look at his parents, but his ears perked up.Hearing Lydia proudly introduce wha

Ever since Lambert helped Lydia deal with the negative comments online, he had noticed a subtle change in her attitude towards him.There seemed to be an inexplicable reliance, and their time spent together also allowed Lambert to rekindle his father-son relationship with Wythe.Like now, the father and son sat cross-legged in front of the TV, each holding a game controller, playing a racing game. Their identical expressions were amusingly endearing.When Lydia entered with a tray of fruit, she found the two arguing over who had better skills. It was a novel and delightful experience to witness."Alright, alright, stop arguing. You've been playing for over an hour now. Wythe, don't you care about your eyes? Or do you want to end up wearing glasses?"Wythe stuck out his tongue. "I know, Mom. I'll do my eye exercises in a bit. I promise I won't get nearsighted!"Lambert chimed in, "I'll keep an eye on Wythe."Wythe pouted. "I don't need Dad to watch me. If Dad has time, he should spend

Lydia couldn't shake a vague sense of melancholy, especially whenever she saw families of three dining together, strolling hand-in-hand, or playing in the park. Lambert's presence lingered in her mind; his every smile, every expression was etched clearly in her heart.It was only now that Lydia realized just how irreplaceable he had become. Lambert had cared for her meticulously, ensuring she always had a glass of water at just the right temperature or a delicious meal whenever she felt hungry. Whenever she felt tired or sleepy, he was there with his warm, gentle hands, ready to take care of everything.Unknowingly, he had become an inseparable part of her life, like air or clear water—unremarkable but indispensable.Lydia bit her lip, suddenly overcome with a longing to hear Lambert's voice. Almost instinctively, she took out her phone and dialed his number.At that moment, Lambert was in the middle of a meeting with the SA branch team. He had rushed to Nova City and gathered the com
Pregnant After One Night Stand With Billionaire Chapter 607 A Tender Moment
Lydia, half-asleep, leaned into Lambert's embrace, finding a comfortable spot before drifting off completely. All her guardedness and sharpness faded away, leaving her looking as peaceful and innocent as a child. Lambert's gaze softened as he carefully carried her to the bedroom, gently lying down with her still in his arms.Lambert watched Lydia with fascination, his fingers tenderly brushing stray hairs from her forehead. He placed a gentle kiss on her brow, his eyes filled with warmth. The atmosphere in the room was peaceful, and Lambert continued to gaze at her, content just to be by her side, even if she hadn't forgiven him yet.As Lydia was in the late stages of her pregnancy, the baby inside her had become more active, often disturbing her sleep. Yet, lying in Lambert's arms, she felt an inexplicable sense of security. When she stirred uncomfortably in her sleep, Lambert immediately reached over to rub her lower back. Noticing their baby's restlessness, he softly placed his han
Pregnant After One Night Stand With Billionaire Chapter 606 Foot Bath for You
Lydia looked at the foot basin, her cheeks reddening slightly. This had become a routine for Lambert, who had read somewhere that foot soaks and massages could ease swelling for pregnant women. So, he made it his mission to prepare a foot bath for her every day at the same time.At first, Lydia was quite resistant, but with Lambert's persistence and Wythe's innocent pleas, she eventually gave in.Now, Lambert was crouched down, without concern for his appearance, gently removing her shoes. Seeing Lydia's noticeably swollen feet filled him with worry. Was this foot bath helping at all? Why was her swelling still so bad?It was Lambert's first time caring for a pregnant woman. He had heard of all the challenges women face during pregnancy, but witnessing it firsthand, especially with someone he loved deeply, stirred a strong, indescribable tenderness within him. He felt an overwhelming desire to protect Lydia from any pain, to the point of wishing he could bear it all himself.Lambert c
Pregnant After One Night Stand With Billionaire Chapter 605 Subtle Affection
The next morning, when Wythe woke up, he found his mother looking at him with gentle eyes. Unable to resist, he leaned in and kissed Lydia, then nuzzled against her shoulder, seeking comfort.Lydia felt a warm flutter in her heart; her child had missed her. A wave of guilt washed over her as she stroked Wythe's little head. "Wythe, I'm sorry for not saying anything before and leaving you behind."Wythe, despite his previous frustration, had come to understand that his mother had no choice. "It's okay, Mom. I've grown up and can understand your decisions. Just promise that wherever you go, you'll take me with you.""Of course!"As they chatted warmly in the living room, Lambert stood in the kitchen, facing a daunting array of ingredients. He had done some research beforehand and learned that pregnant women needed balanced nutrition, preferably from home-cooked meals, since who knew about the hygiene of outside food?Determined to prepare a meal for Lydia, Lambert decided to cook.

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

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

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
