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, let's hurry back and tell my parents the good news! Oh, they probably already know by now!”Andrew's excited voice pulled Lydia back from her thoughts. She forced a self-deprecating smile. What was she hoping for? She knew Lambert wouldn't come. After being humiliated so badly, his pride would never allow him to appear in such a place. But that figure looked so much like him, it made her thoughts wander. If only it were Lambert, at least that would mean he still cared about her. But it's just as well he didn't come. Otherwise, this farce would have been even more difficult to end!But she missed him so much it hurt.Lydia, riding back with Andrew, wasn’t as happy as she had imagined. Instead, she seemed somewhat desolate, quietly sitting in the car, her eyes showing a hint of confusion.“Lydia, are you angry with me?”Andrew watched Lydia's reflection in the window, feeling a moment of anxiety. If his impulsive proposal made him lose Lydia forever, he would regret it for the r
No man could tolerate this!However, this incident revealed to Lennon the reason why Lambert was drinking so heavily: Lydia had someone else. In fact, everyone in their circle knew Lambert was extremely disciplined. It was rare for him to get drunk, even during social gatherings, let alone drink to drown his sorrows. Such a loss of composure was almost unheard of in Lambert’s life, but unfortunately, the only two times it happened were both because of the same woman.Lennon couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. Lydia had become Lambert’s calamity, an obstacle he couldn't overcome. If Lambert were sober, Lennon would have punched him for this. Was it really worth it to be so devastated over a woman? Here he was, falling apart, while she was thriving and had even found someone new. What was there to hold on to?Unfortunately, any words of comfort were wasted on the drunk in front of him. What is it about love that makes people so obsessed and insane?With a long sigh, Lennon decide
The Winston family were just ordinary people and had never witnessed such a scene. They were scared out of their wits and, almost overnight, decisively left Nova City, disappearing without a trace.Verna, locked up at home, was completely unaware of all this. The only thing she knew was that Winston had called her to break up. Then, she saw the check stub that her father had personally written out—a hefty sum of five million dollars. Quite a number, indeed. With that amount, Winston could certainly work ten years less.He actually broke up with her for money? Abandoning their relationship? She couldn't believe it, but the evidence was right in front of her, impossible to ignore.Verna was heartbroken. Meanwhile, Odgen had come to formally propose to the Zheng family, which delighted Verna's parents immensely. They had thought all hope was lost, but the Halsey family’s support was a chance they couldn't pass up. So, the two families quickly agreed to hold a banquet to acknowledge Verna
Lydia followed Wythe's gaze over and froze there at once.Wythe asked cautiously, "Mom, is that Dad? I look like him..."Lydia's eyes suddenly turned red, and then her chest gushed with endless anger and grievance. She pursed her lips and spoke in a cold voice, "Don't worry about him. He has nothing to do with us now."Wythe bowed his head and murmured, "But he has been in the rain, so he will get sick. The teacher said that even if a stranger is in trouble, we should help him..."Wythe's voice was getting lower and lower, because he found that his mother seemed to be really angry. The little guy sat in the back seat of the car with his head hung low and did not say a word. He felt a little sad.Lydia saw her son's expression in the rearview mirror of the car and felt a little sorry, but when she thought of how unfeeling Lambert was before, she couldn't help but harden her heart. When she left, she was so unfeeling, and now she went to her house to play a bitter drama. She really didn
"There is no consensus. Yesterday was just an accident. Lambert, we are all adults, so we naturally have needs. Just treat yesterday as a mistake made by our hormone outbreak. Did you forget that I am no longer your wife!"Lydia deliberately kept a straight face and looked at Lambert with a cold gaze. Only her clenched fists exposed her nervousness at this time. Her whole body was discussing this topic with the other party without any inch. It really made people unable to show any momentum.However, this was not important. What was important was that if there was someone who wanted to bring it up first, then she would rather it be her who spoke up first. In this way, at least she could still retain her final dignity.Lambert's face was a little pale, and his handsome eyebrows and eyes carried a bit of innate indifference. His thin lips lightly opened, "Is this what you want? Only following the feeling of the body and not talking about feelings?"Lydia gritted her teeth, "Yes!"Lambert
"I know you must be worried about the media. Don't worry, we won't invite the media on the day of the engagement, and I will go to greet the relevant people in advance."When Clara heard this, she also took the words and said, "Yes, Lydia, you don't have to be afraid. We will all stand by your side to accompany you and protect you. No one dares to do anything to you! As for the media, leave it to Andrew's father to deal with it.Clara had already opened her mouth. Lydia could only sigh, "I know."Andrew breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously held Lydia's hand tighter. Although Lydia didn't struggle because of Clara's presence, she still felt a little awkward in her heart. Especially every time she saw Andrew look at her, she couldn't help but worry. After the matter was completely exposed, could Andrew still come out?The Chen family's parents were also very quick. The two of them quickly agreed on the engagement date. It was just a week later. Although it was a bit urgent, beca
