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
Odelia glared at Jo with a mocking smile on her face. "You always act without thinking. I told you, he’s not my boyfriend; we’re just discussing work! Now you've ruined everything! Jo, you might as well change your name to Joke!"Her sarcasm made Jo’s eyes redden with fury. He was so enraged that he swung his fist at Odelia. Odelia instinctively screamed, but the punch never landed on her; it was intercepted.Jo, even more furious, shouted at Odelia, "You say you have nothing to do with this pretty boy, but he’s protecting you?"The detective was also annoyed. He had come for a business discussion and ended up in this mess.More importantly, he hadn't even finalized the business with Odelia.If she left now, his trip would be wasted. Infuriated, the detective stepped forward and punched Jo, knocking him to the ground.Jo could only watch as Odelia and the detective walked away together.After they left, someone emerged from a corner of the café, shaking their phone. "Well, well, this
"Aunt Flora, there's no need to worry. Uncle and Auntie are very understanding, and they’ve already agreed to this," Odelia assured.Flora, though surprised, was impressed by Odelia's tactics. "Alright then, I’ll handle the arrangements.""Thank you, Aunt Flora.""Don't mention it. We're family."After hanging up, Flora's card-playing companions couldn't help but be curious. "Flora, it seems your niece really trusts you. She calls you for everything. You treat her like she’s your own."Flora smirked. "Of course. This child lost her parents early, and we’ve raised her. Plus, she’s about to marry into the Halsey family. I have to support her."The other ladies looked at Flora with envy.Why didn’t they have a niece like hers, effortlessly securing a place in a prestigious family?Flora was pleased, feeling it was a worthwhile investment.Meanwhile, the media had been restless, with no new exciting stories for a while. They were tired of the same old news—celebrity romances and new movie
"Think about it, if I marry Lambert in the future, the one who will be hurt the most is you!"Odelia spoke sincerely, touching the reporters with her kindness.But before the emotion could settle, a sudden voice interrupted the scene."Odelia! I return the same words to you! You'd better leave Lambert willingly, or be ready to receive a court summons!"Everyone turned to see Lydia standing at the door, holding Wythe by the hand.Lydia's unexpected arrival caused an uproar; no one had anticipated that the "mistress" Odelia had mentioned would show up so boldly, even bringing a child along!Today, Lydia was dressed in a sharp black business suit skirt, her long black hair elegantly pinned up.The suit perfectly outlined her stunning curves.Beside her, Wythe wore a small shirt and suspenders, his face almost identical to Lambert's, looking stern and mature, instantly charming many in the room.Odelia panicked for a moment, not expecting Lydia to appear so openly! However, there was no r
"Odelia, ..."The sharp questions from the reporters made Odelia's face turn pale.She instinctively covered her belly, trying to feign discomfort to avoid facing the facts.Perhaps she didn't need to pretend, as her excessive nervousness was indeed causing her to feel unwell.At that moment, the hotel door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and two teams of bodyguards entered, forcibly parting the crowd to create a path.The reporters grew even more excited, as if injected with adrenaline. Someone else was coming? It seemed today's dramatic scene was far from over!"Who said Odelia is not part of our family anymore?"Odgen's powerful question instantly gave Odelia confidence. She brightened up and straightened her back, greeting them, "Uncle, Aunt, why are you here?"The appearance of Odgen and Nydia generated another flurry of camera flashes. Under the lights, Nydia smiled gently as she stepped forward to hold Odelia's hand, not even glancing at Lydia as she passed by.Lydia
