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

    Just the thought of their usually obedient son defying them ever since meeting this woman made the old couple feel extremely frustrated."Lydia, don't get too proud of yourself. Lambert is only temporarily infatuated with you. Who knows what the future holds? You better watch yourself!" Odgen's words showed mild disapproval, but Nydia's statement clearly placed her on the opposing side.Everyone at the scene was focused on the unfolding events, speculating on what might happen next. Some even wondered if things would escalate into a physical confrontation.Odelia, standing beside Nydia, was visibly pleased.So what if Lydia was with Lambert? Without the approval of the Halsey parents, Lydia's position as their daughter-in-law would always be precarious.No one likes having someone they dislike around constantly.Odelia was particularly pleased because if Lydia and Odgen were on bad terms, it might extend to her child.As long as Odelia could produce a male heir, her position would be

    Lydia had long given up on trying to understand what their criteria were for judging if she was a qualified daughter-in-law.Now, she truly didn’t care anymore. As long as Lambert stood firmly by her side, that was enough.Seeing Lydia remain silent, Wythe took the initiative to respond, “That’s not right. My mother taught me well, but I can’t say the same for you. Every time we meet, nine out of ten times it ends in a fight!”“So you always stand by Lydia’s side? Haven’t you considered that this woman might be using you? You’re too young to understand and realize you’re being used,” Odelia chimed in, desperate to assert her presence.Wythe looked at her with utter disdain, “Aunt, it might be impolite, but I seriously doubt your intelligence. This is my mother, the person I love the most, who gave birth to and raised me. If I don’t protect her, should I protect you? Besides, if a person doesn’t love their own mother, are they even human?”Wythe’s words stunned everyone present. They f

    Odgen calmed down, but Nydia wasn’t ready to let it go. “Nonsense? Who’s really being nonsensical here? You’ve abandoned your fiancée at home, still entangled with Lydia. If it wasn’t to deal with your mess, would your father and I have come here?”Lambert raised an eyebrow, “Mom, are you sure it’s because of me? Isn’t it for this woman named Odelia?”“She’s your fiancée!”“She’s not! My wife has always been one person, and her name is Lydia!”“But she’s carrying your child now!”“Are you sure that child is mine?”Lambert’s mocking smile made Nydia’s heart skip a beat. “Lambert, what are you saying?”Odelia, emotional, also chimed in, “Lambert, don’t you believe me? The child is definitely yours! Have you forgotten that night…”“Shut up!”Lambert was thoroughly tired of this woman’s persistence. He turned to his parents, “Dad, Mom, do you really want to continue this discussion here?”Odgen hesitated, but Nydia waved it off, “There’s nothing to hide. Why can’t we discuss it? We can sc

I didn’t want to keep him at first, but now, I can’t bear to lose him..."Nydia held her hand tightly, desperately trying to comfort her. "Enough, Odelia, don’t speak anymore. Rest well. We’re going to the hospital now. Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, no one will bully you."She was extremely anxious; after all, Odelia was carrying her grandchild."Thank you, Auntie!" Odelia finally closed her eyes, pretending to faint.Lambert took a step forward, wanting to say more, but Odgen glared at him. "What else do you have to say? Don’t think I don’t know about your little tricks. Horace helped you with that fake paternity test, didn’t he? You’ve really outdone yourself, using such a method to shirk responsibility!""Don’t you believe me?" Lambert frowned."Do you think Odelia would go to such lengths to stay in the

"Flora, you’re absolutely right. But my son won’t listen to us. It’s as if he’s bewitched. Who knows what spell that vixen has cast on him.""You can’t let the younger generation do whatever they want. You are the parents, after all."They chatted as they walked toward Odelia’s hospital room. Upon entering, Flora immediately saw Odelia’s conspicuous bandage and rushed over."My poor Odelia, what happened? Why did you do this to yourself?"Odelia, looking pale but spirited, saw Flora and Nydia enter and quickly tried to sit up. "Aunt, Auntie, you’re here...""We’re family, lie down. Is your head still dizzy?" Nydia’s voice was incredibly gentle, which would astonish Lambert and others if they were present.Odelia forced a weak smile. "I’m fine now. Thank you fo

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
