"That's true. What do you think of Lambert now?"Thera's sudden inquiry made Lydia look dejected. She thought of the morning when she parted like a stranger. She was the one who offered to leave, but she always felt abandoned.Seeing Lydia in a trance, Thera understood in seconds. It seemed that she really hadn't come out of her original feelings, and she didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing."Actually, I met Lambert once before...""Ah? When? What did he come to you for?" Thera was a little excited and a little worried that Lydia would be hurt because of this."I don't know what he's here for. It was the day of the heavy rain when he stood alone outside my house. I, I didn't hold back, so I let him in."Lydia's face quickly flashed with annoyance and shyness, causing Thera's heart to thump. "You didn't have sex with him again, did you?"Lydia looked down in embarrassment. Thera had understood everything from her reddened ears and was immediately speechless. "Lydia
Andrew, satisfied, took her hand and said, "Let's go, Lydia, don't keep the designer waiting!"Lydia, reluctantly, was led out of the café by Andrew. Meanwhile, Wythe's cunning gaze fell on their joined hands, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he pursed his lips, lost in thought.What Lydia and Andrew didn't know was that just around the corner in a black Bentley, Bob was faithfully reporting the situation."Boss, Andrew and Lydia have left the café. Should we continue following them?"Lambert was silent for a long time before his hoarse but determined voice came through, "Follow them!"Bob quickly followed. Twenty minutes later, Lambert received the news that Lydia and Andrew had entered a bridal shop.His heart sank to the bottom, and then was filled with the flames of anger, making him increasingly irritable. "They went to a bridal shop?""Yes, from their conversation, it sounds like they are planning to get
Andrew didn’t insist. Somehow, he managed to convince his parents to let Lydia go directly to the hotel with him. Thera had also arrived early. As the bridesmaid, she naturally stayed close to Lydia. Lydia looked at her reflection in the mirror, feeling a bit dazed.Under the makeup artist’s skillful hands, Lydia’s originally delicate face became even more radiant. Her long eyelashes fluttered like little fans, creating ripples in one’s heart. Her glassy eyes, though confused, added a touch of softness, making it hard to look away."You look stunning, Lydia!" Thera couldn't help but praise, causing Lydia to blush."Thera, stop joking. You know the truth behind all this...""No matter the reason, beautiful is beautiful. Speaking of which, we didn’t know each other during your previous engagements, so I couldn't be your bridesmaid. I’m quite happy to have this chance now."Faced with Thera’s teasing, Lydia fe
Chad gently reassured his wife, "Don't worry, they're probably stuck in traffic. Andrew called earlier and said they'd be here soon."Clara eagerly looked forward to the arrival of her son and his wife, hoping to put her mind at ease.Meanwhile, across the street, a black Bentley was parked, its occupants also waiting for the wedding car to arrive. Lambert tugged at his collar in agitation, his furrowed brow indicating his foul mood. Bob sat silently beside him, not daring to make a sound for fear of provoking his boss's ire."Why aren't they here yet?" Lambert asked coldly.Bob started, then quickly replied, "They must have been delayed on the road."Lambert frowned but said nothing more, closing his eyes as if to rest. Bob noted the deep exhaustion on his boss's face and sighed; it seemed Lambert hadn't slept at all last night.At 9:10, the motorcade finally appeared, the lead wedding car pulling up to the hotel entrance. Andrew was the first to step out, a slight smile on his face,
However, Lambert was fully aware that he currently lacked any qualifications for such a demand. He took a deep breath and locked eyes with Lydia, his gaze intense. "Who you marry is none of my business, but since you're getting married, Wythe's custody should be given to me!"Bob, standing a short distance behind Lambert, was at a loss for words. Internally, he rolled his eyes and thought, "Boss, do you have to be so prideful? If you care, just say it. If it doesn't matter to you, then why are you here? Sightseeing? You're shouting that it doesn't matter, but secretly you're heartbroken. This really doesn't suit you, Boss!"Despite his internal complaints, Bob knew better than to interfere in his boss's personal affairs, so he could only stand on the sidelines, anxious but silent.Hearing Lambert's demand for custody, Lydia couldn't hold back her anger. She bit her lip, her eyes blazing with fury. "Lambert, can you be any more shameless? The divorce agreement was clear—I left with not
Bob saw the situation getting out of hand and quickly stepped forward to pull Lambert away. "Boss, let's go back," he urged. Lambert, in a daze, allowed Bob to lead him out of the crowd. He watched as the master of ceremonies stepped forward again to encourage the newlyweds to kiss. Through his blurry vision, he saw Andrew smile as he kissed the corner of Lydia's mouth, and then everything went black.When Lambert woke up, he found himself in a hospital room with white walls, the IV drip in his hand reminding him of his location. Still somewhat dazed, he felt as if everything that had happened was a nightmare. He hadn't seen Lydia and Andrew kissing with radiant smiles, but he knew it was real.Lambert stared blankly at the ceiling lights. The harsh glare made his eyes dry and painful, and cold, bitter tears rolled down his cheeks without him noticing."Boss, you're finally awake. You scared me to death!" Bob's voice brought him back to reality. Bob was approaching with a lunchbox, fo
Even though it was just an engagement, Clara still specially decorated a new room for them. Traditional red sheets, paired with various matching decorations, gave the room a wedding-like atmosphere. The only thing missing was the mutual understanding between the two people in the room."Lydia, you must be tired. Go take a bath first."Andrew's tone was natural and gentle, soothing Lydia's emotions as if he had done this countless times before. Lydia didn't think too much about it. After all, they had shared a room before, and she trusted Andrew deeply. She believed this man would never hurt her.Lydia rubbed her slightly aching forehead and obediently went into the bathroom. Hearing the sound of water, Andrew's slightly inebriated eyes darkened. He unconsciously tugged at his collar, sitting quietly on the sofa, though his heart felt like it was burning with fire.Moments later, Lydia came out, wearing a relatively modest blue nightgown. Her long black hair was draped behind her, and
Lydia frowned deeply, contemplating how to start. After her initial panic, she had completely calmed down. Andrew probably didn’t mean it, which is why he fled to the bathroom in a panic after she resisted, even slapping himself hard. That red mark looked painful even to her."Andrew, I’ll consider what happened as you being drunk. I don't want to hold it against you, but I hope it never happens again!"Andrew nodded, "I'm sorry, Lydia. I was indeed a bit drunk today and almost did something bad to you. Please forgive me."Andrew's sincere apology made Lydia nod slightly. "I understand. I won't hold it against you anymore. Andrew, it would be best if you also forget it. Additionally, I want to talk to you about something else.""What is it?""Andrew, I initially agreed to be your girlfriend to put Auntie Chen at ease for her surgery. But now, things have turned out like this, which neither of us wanted. In fact, I don’t want to deceive her any longer. So, I’ve decided to tell her the
