A handsome man stood at the entrance of the boss's office. When he saw Lydia approaching, his eyes lit up, and he stepped forward eagerly.

"Hello, Lydia! I'm Ivan, the special administrative assistant here. The boss has already informed me about your arrival. Here's your ID card. Your desk is inside the boss's office, but since the boss hasn't arrived yet, would you mind waiting here for a bit? If you have any questions or need help with anything, feel free to ask me."

His tone was very polite, with just the right level of formality.

"Thank you, Ivan!" Lydia replied with a smile.

"No problem at all; it's my job. If there's nothing else you need, I'll head back to my office next door. Have a great first day!"

Ivan's courteous demeanor put Lydia at ease, filling her with anticipation and confidence for the work ahead.

Lydia glanced at her watch—it was already 7:55 AM, but there was still no sign of Lambert. Given her current position, it seemed like she had no choice but to wait.

    Who would have thought that a simple mistake would lead Lydia to offend her boss's ex-wife?Ivan, however, was secretly pleased. This incident would only strengthen his position as the chief assistant. With Sibyl out of the picture, the female secretaries under her wouldn't be so arrogant anymore.Unaware of the trouble she had inadvertently caused or the favor she had done for Ivan, Lydia stood outside Lambert's office, anxiously waiting for him to appear.As she nervously glanced around, a pair of long legs appeared before her, and when she looked up, she saw Lambert's cold, expressionless face. "Don't you care about your appearance at all?"Lambert's disdainful tone made Lydia's face flush. After standing for an entire hour, she could barely stand anymore. So, she had squatted down beside the office's potted money tree, idly plucking at its leaves out of boredom and frustration.By the time Lambert arrived, the once lush money tree had a noticeably bald spot.Lydia quickly stood up

    Lydia nodded subconsciously but quickly lowered her eyes when she realized she had done something foolish again. "Sorry!""You should apologize. I'm here to work, not to see you fawning over me, even if I'm the one you're drooling over! But looking at how desperate you seem, is Andrew not taking good care of you?"Lambert's words pierced Lydia's heart like icy daggers, making her feel both pain and coldness. Her face turned pale as she looked up and met Lambert's cold and disgusted eyes.Lydia bit her lip. "Rest assured, Lambert, even if you were the last man on Earth, I wouldn't be infatuated with you because you're utterly revolting!""As an employee, is that how you talk to your boss?""Respect is mutual. Since you don't respect me, why should I respect you?""I almost forgot, you're always so sharp-tongued. Since you're so good at talking, why don't you go hand out flyers at the company mall?"Lambert's face darkened as he called Ivan. "Take Lydia to the outdoor mall, give her a d

    "There's a Chinese restaurant next door. What do you think?""Sure, let's go there!"Lambert and Ivan decided to relocate their "stakeout," while Lydia began her lunch.The lunch was a standard boxed meal, consisting of two meat dishes and one vegetable dish. It looked decent, but the lack of seating was a drawback. The staff handing out flyers were grouped together in threes and fours, using discarded cardboard boxes as makeshift tables and placing unused flyers on the ground to make do with their meal.Some staff, who had good relations with nearby shops, managed to borrow small stools, but Lydia sat alone under a nearby tree.She wasn't as emotionally affected or disdainful as one might have expected. Even though she knew these people were isolating her, she didn't care much. After all, she would only be here for a month at most, so why bother with these workers?As Lydia opened the lunchbox, a foul smell hit her, making her stomach churn. Yet, the hunger in her belly made her eage

    "What good is being good-looking if you can't be charming? Why doesn't anyone invite me out to eat? I'm not bad-looking either!" A strikingly beautiful woman complained with a hint of jealousy in her voice."Oh, come on, let's face it—you just don't have what it takes. It's not something you can be jealous of. Just focus on your work, okay? Some people get invited to dinner, but not you!"The group laughed and exchanged sarcastic remarks, but Lydia ignored them, focused solely on her meal. She was genuinely starving. For some reason, her appetite had been off lately, and she hadn't felt energetic. Now that she finally felt like eating, she wasn't going to waste time listening to their envious banter.They were on completely different paths; there was no point in getting caught up in their petty jealousy.Seated in the Chinese restaurant, Lambert watched from a distance as Lydia finally started eating heartily, and the knot in his chest began to loosen.

    "I can make lots of money this way, so Mom won't have to work so hard!" Wythe's big, watery eyes gazed up at Lydia, nearly melting her heart."Mom, can you wait a little longer? If not, I can always go back to acting..." He had thought it over, and acting seemed like the best way to earn money quickly!Lydia's eyes grew hot, and she almost shed tears. But the smile on her lips became more pronounced as she waved Wythe over, who quickly snuggled into her arms."Silly child, Mom isn't just working hard to make money! Everyone should have their own dreams, and all the effort I'm putting in now is for my dream. So, it's okay to work hard because nothing in this world comes without effort!"Wythe nodded, only half understanding. "But it's rare for me to see you so exhausted, Mom...""It's just a temporary, important task. Once this period is over, things will be better. It's probably just the hot weather, too. Don't worry, Wythe, I'll take good care of myself.""Not just Wythe, even I'm wo

    Lambert's gaze fell on Lydia. After a night of rest, her complexion looked much better, which made Lambert secretly breathe a sigh of relief. However, he maintained a cold demeanor as he instructed, "Wait outside for a while. I need to speak with Verna."Without waiting for a response, Lambert strode into the office, with Verna following closely behind like a submissive wife. Before entering, she gave Lydia a reassuring smile, but to Lydia, it seemed more like a taunt.Lydia lowered her eyes, smiling bitterly. She had nothing to do with Lambert anymore, so why would Verna feel the need to provoke her?Meanwhile, inside the office, Verna closed the door and dropped her elegant facade, looking dejectedly at Lambert. The sophisticated and graceful image she usually maintained was nowhere to be seen.Ever since Lambert started treating Verna like a sister, she had become increasingly "bold" around him. Lambert had come to realize that Verna's refined and eleg

    Lambert's cold gaze swept across Lydia's face. "Verna's orders are my orders. Since she's arranged a place for you, report there immediately. I'll have Ivan notify you later."This time, Lydia didn't argue. She worked hard to keep her expression calm and indifferent, accepting the situation with a composed demeanor. "Understood. I'll do my best!"With that, Lydia turned and left without looking back. Her steps were quick, fearing that if she stayed even a second longer, her emotions would collapse.Once Lydia turned the corner and entered the elevator, Verna quickly lowered her hand. "Lambert, was I too harsh just now? I feel like Lydia was really hurt...""Really? I thought she seemed quite happy. Getting away from me is probably what she's been hoping for."Verna was speechless. Wasn't it you who arranged this? And now you're acting all resentful. Sigh, men's minds are indeed more complex than women's.As soon as she entered the elevator,

    "Lydia, go to the copy room and print out two copies of the design drafts, quickly!""Lydia, help me fetch the sample clothes from the security desk. They just called to say the package has arrived.""Lydia, go to the warehouse and get some matching buttons; one is missing from the sample garment!"Tasks like these kept Lydia so busy she barely had a moment to breathe, let alone drink water. After just half a day, her legs felt as heavy as lead, barely able to move. The only consolation was that she was becoming familiar with the design department's operations, so she could complete the tasks the designers gave her efficiently.Having such a capable assistant increased the overall efficiency of the design department, but this also meant Lydia was given even more work.After a hectic morning, it was finally lunchtime, but Lydia had no appetite at all.One of the designers, noticing how busy she had been, invited her, "Lydia, since you're new

    "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
