Lambert hesitated, about to speak, when Odgen, descending the stairs, interrupted him, "Why move? How many more years do your mother and I have left? Can’t you spend some time with us?"Lambert sighed, "Dad, you and Mom are still young...""Even so, you can’t stay away all year round, can you? Especially now that you have your own child. You should take this time to spend more time with Odelia!"Lambert lowered his gaze, neither agreeing nor refusing.Seeing this, Nydia felt more at ease, believing he was likely to agree.Sure enough, Lambert did not mention leaving even through dinner. Nydia felt completely reassured, giving Odelia a knowing look, pleased with the turn of events.Odelia was also happy. Despite her previous resistance, she was glad Lambert was willing to stay. Moreover, Nydia had promised to help her win Lambert’s heart.The family enjoyed a somewhat warm dinner. After Lambert showered, Nydia quickly pushed him into Odelia’s room.Inside the room, Odelia appeared calm
Seeing his mother nearly in tears, Wythe hurried over to comfort her, "Mom, cheer up. It’s rare to have a chance to go out and have fun. How about calling Uncle Fraine too?""That might not be a good idea. Thera and Andrew don’t know each other well, and I’m already a guest. I can’t just bring someone along.""Alright, then forget it!"As mother and son were talking, they heard a car horn outside the villa. They exchanged smiles and rushed to open the door.Sure enough, Ronald was sitting in an eye-catching red Ferrari. Seeing Lydia and Wythe come out, he made a supposedly cool gesture with his fingers at his temples."Hey! Ready to go?"Wythe, pretending to be mature, said, "I’m not going, but I’ll leave my mom to you. Make sure to bring her back safely!""Don’t worry, Thera is here too, everything will be fine!"Lydia instructed, "Wythe, be careful at home alone. Call me if you need anything!"Wythe nodded, and Ronald added, "Amélie, don’t worry. This little guy is very clever. Besi
Odelia blushed, casting a shy glance at Lambert, and seemingly muttered to herself, "I’m already locked in."Nydia chuckled, her mood lifting.Although her son was not very obedient, she was pleased to have such an understanding daughter-in-law.Odelia seized the opportunity, "Auntie, how about we take a photo together?""Sure! It’s Lambert’s loss if he doesn’t join. Let’s take a photo."Nydia stood beside Odelia, affectionately holding her shoulder.Odelia raised her phone high, aimed it at herself and Nydia, and quickly pressed the shutter.Before Nydia could check the photo, Odelia suggested, "Auntie, let’s take another one. This one didn’t come out well!"Nydia didn’t think much of it and took another photo with Odelia. In the picture, they looked very close, almost like sisters, which made Nydia extremely happy.She couldn’t wait to post it on her recently registered social media account to show off to her friends.What Nydia didn’t notice was Odelia quickly editing the previous
"I think he’s a model. Look at all the clothes he’s bought."The chattering voices of the girls faded away, but Lydia’s gaze grew more complicated. He was indeed here, so where was Odelia? Shopping nearby?Lydia scanned the crowd and soon spotted Odelia in a violet chiffon dress, enthusiastically looking at clothes with Nydia."So, they’re out shopping with Mrs. Halsey!" Thera muttered beside her. "Alright, Lydia, no need to be upset. Your husband is probably here as a pack mule! Moms love to shop and drag their sons along to carry bags and swipe cards. As for Odelia, you said she was the fiancée the Halseys found for Lambert, right? Of course, she’s here to make her presence known."Lydia couldn’t help but smile at Thera’s words, "Thank you, Thera."Thera waved her off, "No need to thank me. It’s no big deal. But now that they’re right in front of you, what are you going to do?"Lydia thought for a moment and then dialed Lambert’s number.Lambert, who had been bored, straightened up
Lydia and Lambert exchanged a smile, the earlier unease between them completely dissipated.Meanwhile, Odelia emerged from the fitting room and looked around, unable to find Lambert anywhere.Nydia stepped out of another fitting room and noticed Odelia's worried expression. "What’s wrong? Where’s Lambert?" she asked with concern.Odelia pursed her lips. "He was just here, but now he’s gone."Nydia’s face darkened. "Lambert left?""I’m not sure. He wasn’t here when I came out."Nydia immediately called over Bob, the bodyguard accompanying them. Bob knew Lambert had left with Lydia but couldn't disclose this to Mrs. Halsey. He dutifully said, "Mrs. Halsey, Odelia, the boss received a call from the company about an urgent matter and had to leave.""Even if it’s urgent, he should have told us before leaving! He’s getting ruder as he grows up," Nydia scolded, watching Odelia’s reaction and feeling relieved when she didn’t seem upset. She took Odelia’s hand and reassured her, "Don’t be mad
Odelia gladly accepted Lambert’s proposal, regardless of his true intentions; as long as he agreed to accompany her for the prenatal checkup, she was content.The next morning, Odelia woke up early. She dressed herself up carefully, looking both pure and radiant. Her smile at the breakfast table was impossible to conceal, piquing Nydia’s curiosity.“Odelia, what good thing happened to you? You’re grinning from ear to ear.”Odelia shyly glanced at Lambert. “Indeed, something good has happened. Lambert has agreed to accompany me for the prenatal checkup!”Nydia was initially stunned upon hearing this, then looked at Lambert in disbelief. “Is this true, Lambert?”Without even looking up, Lambert replied, “Why is that so surprising? It’s just a hospital visit, and didn’t you say I should spend more time with Odelia?”Nydia was overjoyed, exchanging a glance with Odgen. They felt as if happiness had come so suddenly; it seemed their son had finally come around overnight.While Nydia was th
Horace's words brought a satisfied smile to Odelia’s face, greatly fulfilling her sense of vanity. Such high-tech equipment was not something everyone had the opportunity to use.While Odelia closed her eyes, Horace gave Lambert a meaningful glance. When he received Lambert's call yesterday, he was shocked, thinking that Lambert had regained his memory.Lambert’s natural way of assigning tasks caught him off guard. However, meeting him today, Horace realized he had overthought it.Seeing Lambert personally bringing Odelia made him extremely curious and unable to resist asking.As soon as they left the ward, Horace hurriedly asked, "Lambert, what’s going on? Have you regained your memory?"Seeing his friend’s anxious expression, Lambert couldn’t help but smile. "I haven’t regained my memory, but I know what I need to know.""And Lydia…?""We’re back together, and I know she is the one I love, my wife."“That’s good to hear. Sorry for not telling you sooner…” Horace felt a bit guilty, a
After leaving the hospital, Odelia was in a very good mood. Once they got in the car, she took the initiative to speak. "Lambert, are you heading to the company now?"Lambert paused, not answering directly. "Do you have something in mind?""If you have time, could you come with me to meet my family? They’ve been asking me when we’re getting married, so…""You should talk to my mom about that; she’s handling everything. Besides, there’s no need for a meeting. I’m very busy these days."Odelia felt a bit embarrassed by his response. She had thought he was quite patient with her earlier.Why did he seem to change his attitude as soon as they left the hospital? Could Dr. Horace have said something to him? After all, they were good friends!Lambert, on the other hand, didn’t care about her thoughts. He felt his task was done and saw no need to continue playing along.After dropping Odelia off at the Halsey house, Lambert left, clearly stating to Nydia and the others that he would be very b
