He mainly feared that in a moment of excitement, she would take the initiative to find Lydia, which would be awkward.

Meanwhile, as Andrew was asking his mother for tips on how to pursue Lydia, Lydia had already started packing.

"Mom, are we really going out with Uncle Fraine?" Wythe asked, folding his clothes and placing them in his small suitcase.

He looked up at Lydia. He knew his parents had divorced, and now his mom was traveling with Uncle Fraine.

This clearly meant Uncle Fraine was pursuing her, and from the looks of it, his mom was somewhat accepting his advances.

Wythe felt a bit down.

He understood what divorce meant. Some kids at his kindergarten had divorced parents, and the looks others gave those kids made him uncomfortable. Plus, he was sad about it himself.

Seeing the forlorn look on her son's face, Lydia felt a pang of guilt.

Adults' actions often had consequences for their children.

She knew the divorce from Lambert had upset Wythe, but he had never complained.

    Elegant and refined, Andrew stood beside Lydia. They really did look quite suited to each other.Even though Lambert understood that he had no right to reproach her—after all, he had been the one to initiate the divorce—seeing the woman he loved traveling to France with another man so soon after their separation filled him with a jealousy he couldn't suppress.Yes, jealousy.As much as he hated to admit it, that was the undeniable truth.He was jealous of Andrew, jealous that he could openly stand by Lydia's side, hold her hand without hesitation, and even make her smile.Lambert's long fingers swiped across the screen, hesitating to delete the photos because Lydia was in them.He never realized he could be so indecisive.

    The sudden appearance of someone trying to replace his father should have been unacceptable.So when Wythe said such words to Andrew, he was overjoyed, feeling that this child might accept him."Wythe, I solemnly promise that I will take good care of and cherish Lydia. I will never let her shed a single tear or suffer any harm. I only wish for her to be safe and happy for the rest of her life."Wythe nodded, his big eyes showing a hint of reluctance before turning to relief. "Although it doesn't sound nice, I still have to say it: you must keep your promise. Otherwise, no matter what, I will take Mom away."Andrew breathed a sigh of relief and gently tapped Wythe's nose. "Wythe, you're still a kid. You don't need to worry about so many things. At your age, having fun is the most important thing. If you keep thinking so much, you'll turn into a little old man.""Hmph! If I'm a little old man, then Uncle Fraine, you're a big old man, an ancient old man. Let's see how you chase Mom then!

    Wythe's eyes turned red, and he threw himself into Lydia's arms. "Mom, don't worry, I'll grow up quickly so I can protect you!"Lydia was moved, gently stroking Wythe's hair. "Good boy! Mom will protect you too. I won't let anything hurt you."At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, followed by Andrew's gentle voice. "I'm sorry to interrupt you two, but dinner is ready. Would you like to eat?"Mother and son exchanged smiles and walked out together. Andrew was already waiting outside. Seeing them, he gave a warm smile. "Finally, you decided to come out. I thought you might forget dinner while talking."Wythe stuck out his tongue. "We weren't just talking. I was helping Uncle Fraine by saying good things about him. Otherwise, who knows when Uncle Fraine will finally win over Mom!"Lydia blushed slightly and gently coughed to remind Wythe to watch his words. Wythe, however, pouted and muttered softly, "But it's true. Uncle Fraine seems a bit slow.""Wythe! Don't be rude!"

    Lydia sighed. "Thera, as soon as you beckon, a crowd of men will be at your feet. How could you ever be alone?""I don't care. Wythe is mine! Either find another date or come with Andrew. I've already informed him. As for the rest, you handle it. That's that!"With these words, Thera quickly left Wythe's office, leaving him speechless.After getting into her car, Thera dialed a number. Soon, a soft voice came from the other end, "Godmother?""Wythe, I've taken care of it. Just wait and see. Your mother will definitely attend with someone.""That's wonderful. Thank you!" Wythe's voice was filled with joy.Thera, however, felt a bit worried. "Wythe, is this really okay? Helping to matchmake your mother and Andrew?""Of course, it is. Don't worry, Godmother. Everything will be fine. Mom is divorced now and fears being alone. Uncle Fraine will treat her well. Don't you think my plan is good?"Thera laughed. "It's quite good. Once Andrew wins your mother over, we must treat him to a grand

    The children were playing happily, so much so that Wythe didn’t even notice Lydia’s arrival.Lydia had indeed come with Andrew today.Andrew was dressed in a white suit, looking as refined and elegant as a prince, while Lydia wore a mauve long dress, exuding intellectual elegance.Their entrance garnered considerable attention, given that it was, after all, an Arliss family gathering.The appearance of two unfamiliar faces naturally sparked curiosity.The Arliss family’s extended relatives whispered among themselves, speculating about Lydia’s identity.“Who are those two? I don’t think I’ve seen them before! But she seems quite familiar with the family—didn’t you see Andrew personally greet her?”“That child playing so well with the eldest’s kids called that woman ‘Mom’. Could she be an illegitimate daughter from somewhere?”“That doesn’t seem likely. I saw Grandpa call them over earlier, and he seemed quite amiable. Given Grandpa’s temper, he detests illegitimate children the most!”

    Thera’s confident and natural demeanor left Thera at a loss for words.Ronald, on the other hand, glanced at the three of them with a half-smile and raised his glass. "It's an honor to have Lydia here, and who's this handsome fellow by her side? Lydia, aren't you going to introduce him? Or are you planning to surprise us?"Lydia felt a bit awkward, but Andrew smiled and said, "I've long heard of Ronald's charm and sophistication, and now I see it's true! I'm currently pursuing Lydia."Andrew's straightforwardness made Lydia's face flush, not from shyness but from embarrassment.She instinctively looked at Lambert, who remained expressionless as if he was oblivious to everything, which made her feel a deep sense of loss.Ronald continued, "Brother Chen has a keen eye, unlike some people who miss out on gems. I wonder if they ever regret it!"The previous remarks were subtle, but this one was an obvious jab. Lambert's handsome face showed no signs of being affected, which only added to

    Seeing that Lydia seemed somewhat sober and not as drunk as he had imagined, Lambert was about to turn and leave when Lydia suddenly grabbed his collar.Lambert was taken aback, and then he saw the woman in front of him shedding large, heavy tears.“Lambert! Why? Why are you doing this to me?”Seeing her tears, Lambert felt a pang in his heart. He instinctively reached out to caress her face but quickly withdrew his hand, realizing it was inappropriate. “You’re drunk. I’ll have Thera take you home.”By this time, Lydia was thoroughly drunk. Her eyes were red, and she clung tightly to Lambert’s clothes, refusing to let him leave.Lambert felt a bit at a loss. He wanted to push her hands away but couldn't bring himself to do it.“Lambert... Lambert...”Lydia called out his name repeatedly, her tears falling like pearls, soaking Lambert’s shirt and piercing his heart.Lambert couldn’t care about anything else anymore. He scooped her up and strode toward his car.Lydia’s face was pale, he

    "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
