"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

    Lydia froze when she noticed that the small table, which previously held only a water cup and some bread wrappers, now had a delicately arranged thermal lunch box. Her stomach growled with hunger, and she couldn't resist walking over to it.Underneath the lunch box was a note that read, "Miss Lydia, please eat well and take care of yourself!" The handwriting was identical to the note on the door earlier. Warmth filled Lydia's heart, and she no longer felt the urgency she had before. Instinctively, she believed that the person who left the note had already taken care of her absence at work. Otherwise, how could she explain why her phone hadn't rung all this time? She couldn't imagine Stevin letting her off so easily during work hours.Besides, it was almost the end of the workday anyway, and even if she hurried back now, it would be too late. Resigned, Lydia sat down at the table and opened the lunch box.A fragrant aroma filled the air—sweet, rich pumpkin

    Thinking about it, Wythe began to feel conflicted again. His mother had just gotten engaged to Uncle Fraine, so why was she back with his father? What would happen to Uncle Fraine now?Wythe opened his mouth, but in the end, he didn't ask about it. After all, he had secretly followed his mother back then, and if he brought it up now, wouldn't she find out that he had been spying on her?And Uncle Fraine—if he knew that his mother was still in contact with his father, he would surely be heartbroken, wouldn't he?So, it seemed that for now, he'd better help keep it a secret. Although he didn't know why his mother was doing this, she must have her reasons. He should trust her, right?As a result, with Lydia deliberately keeping it hidden and Wythe choosing to stay silent, Andrew had no idea that the woman he cherished was about to become a maid, and that she would soon be tormented by her vengeful ex-husband.Lydia sighed inwardly, deciding to just endure it. After all, it was only for a

    In the grand scheme of things, nothing is more important than eating!Having fully come to terms with everything, Lydia indulged herself without hesitation, unknowingly finishing three bowls.When she finally put down her chopsticks, she noticed Lambert sitting across from her, staring in disbelief with a hint of amusement in his eyes. Her face flushed involuntarily—damn it! She had made a fool of herself again!After breakfast, Lambert and Lydia headed to the office together. Just like the previous day, Lydia was assigned to the design department. As soon as she walked in, she was met with the disapproving glare of her superior."Mr. Stevin, is something wrong?" A bad feeling crept up in Lydia as she asked."Lydia, if I'm not mistaken, this is your second day in the design department. I know you have connections, but could you at least not make it so obvious?""What do you mean?" Lydia was clearly taken aback. She genuinely didn't think she had been acting as if she had any special b

    When Lydia and her colleagues met with Lambert, they were greeted by an extremely cold and intimidating demeanor. However, the fury simmering in Lambert's eyes was still enough to send chills down their spines.As Lambert tapped his index finger on the table, everyone fell silent, trembling with fear. Even Stevin, who had been calm just moments ago, began to sweat under Lambert's piercing gaze."Speak," Lambert commanded.Stevin, eager to defend himself, quickly responded, "Boss, it's not that I don't want to give Lydia a chance, but we simply can't afford to keep her! It's only her second day, and she's already caused such a significant loss. If she stays in our department, who knows what else might happen?"Ivan, standing nearby, couldn't help but sneer at Stevin's obvious attempt to undermine Lydia. How foolish! Where did he get the confidence to so blatantly suppress a newcomer? Did he really think everyone else was an idiot?Stevin noticed Ivan's disdainful look and became even m

    The situation resolved itself unexpectedly quickly, leaving Lydia both surprised and relieved. She was willing to endure Lambert's difficulties to secure her shares, but if she were dragged into some internal strife within Universal Conglomerate, it would hardly be worth it."Thank you."Lydia expressed her gratitude sincerely. She was genuinely thankful to Lambert. At the very least, clearing her name so swiftly and avoiding taking the blame for others was a good outcome.Lambert stood up and walked toward her, his expression unreadable. Lydia felt a sudden wave of anxiety. When he stopped just a step away, her heart pounded wildly."Lydia, this time you were caught up in something beyond your control. Naturally, I'll help you resolve it. But everything comes with a price. How do you plan to repay me?"His warm breath brushed against her, making Lydia instinctively want to retreat. But before she could move, Lambert's arm wrapped around her waist. "How about a kiss?" he suggested.La

    Lydia had taken the time to secretly learn some massage techniques, intending to help ease his fatigue. However, now, as she looked at the once familiar figure before her, standing in the most familiar posture, her heart was filled with bitterness. She couldn't understand how things between them had come to this point, but it seemed there was no way to turn back.They had become strangers, unable to return to the intimacy and sweetness of the past. Life felt bleak, yet there was nothing she could do.Lydia sat down on the edge of the bed with practiced ease and began massaging his shoulders. The firm muscles under her hands gradually relaxed, but her own thoughts were in turmoil.As her warm hands worked busily on his back, Lambert's heart raced, pounding steadily in his chest. The places she touched felt like they were on fire, the heat within him building bit by bit.Uncomfortably, he shifted his body, feeling embarrassed by his reaction. Trying to cover it up, he cleared his throat

    Lydia had no idea that she had become the target of someone's hidden schemes. Most importantly, she was utterly unaware of what she had done to offend Sylvia.At that moment, Sylvia dialed a number, "Sibyl, it's me, Sylvia. I just heard something that might interest you.""What is it?""Well, I heard that..." Sylvia relayed the information she had gathered, embellishing it to make it more intriguing, particularly focusing on how Lydia's actions supposedly caused the design director Stevin to resign.On the other end of the line, Sibyl's expression darkened, "So that's it. I was wondering why Stevin suddenly quit when everything was going so well. So this is the truth! Thank you, Sylvia!""No need to thank me, Sibyl. If it weren't for Lydia's outrageous behavior, I wouldn't have bothered getting involved. You know me; I just want to live peacefully in my own little corner!""Exactly. This is all Lydia's doing! What did I do wrong? I only offered her a bit of advice as a senior, and she

    Lydia smiled at the two people in front of her. "I'm new here and don't even know this Sibyl you're talking about. How could I have offended her?"She really didn't understand. It was just a job, after all. Why all the scheming and underhandedness, creating such a toxic environment? How could anyone work well in such conditions?Elma and Carlin exchanged glances and nodded in agreement. "Sibyl has a tendency to bully newcomers. Although she hasn't been in the logistics department for long, her reputation in the company has never been great. Just be careful, Lynn."Whether they were being sincere or not, they had warned her.Lydia accepted their goodwill, thanked them politely, and then took the cleaning tools she had been given and started her work.Meanwhile, in the boss's office, Lambert's expression was grim. On the computer screen in front of him was a live feed of Lydia carrying a mop and bucket towards the restroom.Ivan stood behind the boss, trembling with fear, worried that h

    "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
