Like an artist repeatedly conceptualizing a scene, Lambert's mind lingered on the image of the person within that picture.

Lydia hadn't gone to bed. She stood by the window, clutching her phone, waiting for a call that might never come.

"Lambert! Lambert!"

She whispered his name in her heart, each time more painful than the last. He hadn't contacted her, even though she had sent him a message. Unbeknownst to her, Lambert's phone lay abandoned on a nightstand, and its owner was merely fifty meters away in his car.

Knock, knock, knock!

Lydia quickly set her phone down as Wythe, rubbing his eyes, walked in with a cup of milk. "Mom, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Lydia's voice was soft. "Did I wake you? I'm sorry. I'll go to bed now."

"Mom, drink some milk before you sleep."

Lydia's nose tingled, and she reached out to tousle her son's hair. "Thank you, Wythe."

"Mom, I've grown up. Even without Dad, I can take good care of you. Besides, Uncle Fraine is great too! Please don't be sad about Da

    His name was Winston, a high school teacher with a courteous and composed demeanor, leaving a good impression on Lambert. However, Lambert was surprised when Winston opposed the idea of eloping with Verna."Lambert, I know you're helping us, and I appreciate it greatly. But please tell Verna that I can't agree to run away with her."Lambert didn't expect such a refusal and narrowed his eyes slightly, scrutinizing Winston. "What do you mean? Do you have other plans?"Winston smiled, "Yes, I do. I understand you're Verna's friend, which is why we can't involve you. You could help Verna escape during a shopping trip, but wouldn't the Zheng family come to you for answers? It's good you're willing to help, but I don't want you to bear the consequences."Lambert had considered this risk but dismissed it, confident in his status. Even if the Zheng family suspected him, they wouldn't dare confront him openly.Seeing Lambert's thoughts, Winston continued, "I truly appreciate your help. If you'

    Wythe simply blinked, "I know, since it's Mom's choice, I'm happy for you both. As long as Mom is happy.""Yes, I will make sure your mom is happy!"As they were talking, the doorbell suddenly started ringing frantically. Lydia and Andrew exchanged a glance, and Andrew went to open the door."Lydia, I..."Lambert's voice stopped abruptly when he saw Andrew. His handsome face was tinged with coldness."What are you doing here?"Andrew raised an eyebrow, feeling a slight displeasure. He and Lydia had just made some progress, and he couldn't let this person ruin it."That question should be mine to ask. As someone who has divorced Lydia, why are you here?""Move aside! I have something to say to Lydia!"Without hesitation, Lambert stepped forward, trying to bypass Andrew. Andrew, however, blocked his path. "Lambert, even if you're visiting, you should get the host's permission! If you keep barging in, I can call the police!"Lambert sneered, "Call the police? What a joke. This is my wife

    Lydia's heart trembled. "No, I don't hate you. I've thought it through. We should have our own lives...""And if I refuse?" Lambert asked."I don't think you're the type to cling on like this," Andrew interjected. "Of course, if you do, we won't just sit idly by."Andrew decisively stepped in front of Lydia, facing Lambert directly. Lydia wanted to say something, but Andrew took her hand, "Lydia, leave it to me."Lydia hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded. She didn't know how to face Lambert right now, so it was better to let Andrew handle it. Feeling validated, Andrew's voice became even firmer."Lambert, if there's nothing else, we'll see you out. We have other plans after lunch."Lambert stared into Lydia's eyes. "Is that what you want too?""Yes."Lambert's heart sank, but he still asked, "Can I ask where you're going?"Andrew looked at him oddly. "It doesn't matter, but we're going to meet my parents. Oh, by the way, they are very pleased with Lydia. We might have our eng

    Wythe was stunned and did not know how to answer for a while.Although he had always said that as long as his mother was happy, he would gladly accept whoever he was with, but it was not until just now that he found out that he was not a good child.He lied.At the moment he saw his father leave, his tears fell all of a sudden. His heart felt as uncomfortable as if he had pressed a stone.He still wanted his father and his mother to be reconciled, just like before. The three of them lived together with Meimei, although now it seemed that this was simply extravagant hope.Looking at Wythe's drooping little head, Andrew sighed secretly.He knew that this child might not accept him so easily, but when he really came to this step, he was still a little disappointed. However, Andrew would not just give up.After so many things, he finally had the opportunity to get closer to the woman he loved."It's okay, Wythe. I know that you might not be able to accept it now, but one day I will make y

    When Lydia's gaze fell upon Andrew and his father, Zara chuckled. "Don't mind them. Andrew and his father are always like this. It's like they can't go a day without teasing each other, but their bond just gets stronger."Lydia smiled. "I find it quite amusing, actually. I've never seen Andrew so lively.""Really? Does Andrew try to maintain a façade around you?" Zara asked with a hint of surprise.Lydia was taken aback for a moment, then quickly remembered her role as Andrew's girlfriend.To avoid any suspicion, she replied, "Not really. I guess it's just because he's always taking care of me, so he doesn't get much chance to be this playful."Zara smiled warmly. "Lydia, if you don't mind, may I call you Lydia?""Of course! Please feel free, Aunt Zara."Lydia's gracious demeanor greatly pleased Andrew's parents. They had already heard a lot about her and knew that their son had liked her for many years.They were delighted to see her finally brought home.Andrew's parents naturally a

    Andrew led Lydia into the room and immediately let go of her hand, placing his own hands at his sides with a hint of apology. “I’m sorry, Lydia. I acted impulsively earlier. If I offended you, I apologize.”Lydia waved her hand dismissively and lowered her voice. “Andrew, what are we going to do? Are we really going to spend the night in the same room?”Andrew looked into her eyes. “Lydia, do you trust me?”Lydia was taken aback, but Andrew continued, “I won’t do anything to you. You can have the bed; I’ll sleep on the floor.”Lydia opened her mouth to refuse but swallowed her words. Andrew was right. If they didn’t share a room now, it would definitely raise suspicions. What couple in love wouldn’t want to be together? Besides, she trusted Andrew’s character; he wouldn’t do anything inappropriate. With that assurance, what did she have to worry about?Lydia nodded, and Andrew’s eyes lit up with joy, though he tried to suppress his excitement. He reached out and took Lydia’s hand. “Th

    The meal was quickly laid out on the table. Feeling slightly embarrassed to eat alone, Lydia turned to Clara and said, "Aunt Clara, why don't you join me?"Clara didn't refuse. "Alright then. Andrew, you should eat something too. The desserts today are particularly good."Andrew took his seat as well and even lifted Wythe onto his lap. Chad joined in the fun, grabbing some snacks. The family enjoyed their morning coffee together in a lively atmosphere. After the meal, Clara began discussing more serious matters with them."Andrew, Lydia, seeing you both so in love makes me very happy."Lydia lowered her head, feeling inexplicably guilty.Clara suddenly turned to Lydia, her demeanor serious. She took Lydia's hand and spoke earnestly, "Lydia, I know you've been through a lot, but I believe everything will get better from now on. Andrew might not be the most eloquent man, but he has a heart that loves you sincerely. I trust that he will take good care of you. With you by his side, I can

    He had an important gift to retrieve. Lydia stood in the center of the square as instructed, but suddenly a crowd appeared, surrounding her with piles and piles of roses.Everyone seemed to smile at her with kindness and blessings. Lydia felt both strange and extremely uneasy, sensing things were spiraling out of control. When she snapped back to reality, Andrew was already walking toward her, his face full of deep affection.The sound of a violin wafted through the square, and people gathered around the rose-covered area. Everyone quietly watched Andrew approach Lydia with anticipation.Lydia felt a moment of panic; things were unfolding beyond her control. What should she do? She instinctively wanted to flee but stood rooted in place when she saw Andrew's pleading gaze.Andrew's steps were steady, his handsome face adorned with an expectant smile. He looked at the flustered Lydia standing amidst the flowers with deep emotion, feeling a softness in his heart.Lydia stood motionless.

    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

    Lambert closed his eyes, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart. He had truly found Lydia!"Sorry, Lydia, I think I got a bit carried away!"Could this be a dream? If it is, he hoped he'd never wake up.Lydia was at a loss for words. This wasn't just being a bit excited; he was clearly overwhelmed!She decided to change the subject. "Lambert, how's Wythe doing?" Her son was the person she cared about most, and the one she felt she owed the most to."He's fine, but he really misses you. I didn't expect that after all this time, you wouldn't even call once."Hearing this, Lydia lowered her head, guilt washing over her. In some ways, she knew she hadn't been a very good mother. She had neglected her son for her own feelings."I'm sorry..."Lambert sighed softly, a mix of emotions swirling within him. "You don't need to apologize, Lydia. It's all my fault. If I hadn't misunderstood you, you wouldn't have felt the need to leave Nov

    Debby felt a sudden jolt, her ears turning bright red. Being caught doing something wrong and exposed in public was a uniquely uncomfortable experience."Uh, I..."Lambert's heart raced. Could it be that he finally found the right place? Was Lydia really at this kindergarten?Fearing he might startle her, he spoke gently, his tone patient. "Debby, there's been a misunderstanding between Lydia and me. I care about her deeply, and I can't lose her. I don't know how you've interpreted our situation, but as her friend, I assume you want her to be happy too?"Debby hesitated at his words. Was this man truly a scoundrel? Upon reflection, Lydia had only mentioned that she had divorced her partner and left Nova City due to some circumstances. She had never spoken ill of her ex-husband, so perhaps she had misjudged him?Debby's expression shifted, yet she still seemed unsure. Lambert seized the moment to ask, "Debby, Lydia hasn't left, has she?""How
