Pregnant After One Night Stand With Billionaire Chapter 476 Resentment
Lydia was momentarily stunned when she felt a sudden weight on her shoulder as Andrew placed his hand there. "I know you only see me as a brother figure, someone you rely on," he said softly. "But until someone else can give you the happiness you deserve, let me have the chance to protect you, alright?"Lydia nodded absentmindedly, unsure of what Andrew was really trying to say. His words seemed like a compromise, an acceptance of her proposal, acknowledging the brotherly role. Little did she realize, she was being naive. Andrew's intentions were far more complex; he didn't want to be just her brother—he wanted to be her man.Thinking that Andrew had conceded, Lydia didn't notice the dark expression that clouded his eyes afterward. He had no intention of letting her go.After taking a day off to rest and collect herself, Lydia knew she had to return to Lambert. Her one-month commitment wasn't over yet, and she couldn't give up halfway. That would mean all her previous efforts had been

Ivan stood not far from Lambert, utterly impressed by Andrew's audacity. This man had the guts to snatch a woman from the boss's hands—what a real man! But hadn't the boss heroically saved the damsel just the other day? So why was there no follow-up? Shouldn't there have been a natural progression to offering oneself in gratitude? Oh, right—Bob had mentioned that it had already happened.The palpable tension between Lambert and Andrew struck Lydia as odd and slightly awkward."Andrew, if there's nothing else, I'll head off. I'll make my own way home after work; you don't need to pick me up.""How could I not? You're my fiancée; serving you is my honor!" Andrew responded tenderly, causing Lydia to blush slightly.This scene deepened Lambert's obsession with Lydia, his love for her warping into an inexplicable hatred.Ignoring both Andrew and Lydia as if they were irrelevant, Lambert coolly commanded, "Ivan, let's go!"With

Lydia patiently explained, "It's about the handover for the studio. There are many accounts I need to verify myself, and some special documents that need organizing. I don't think I'll be able to finish everything today."The person on the other end of the line softened his tone. "But you still need to eat. What are you planning to do for dinner?""I'll just order some takeout. It's more convenient that way," she replied, though she wasn't really in the mood to eat.As soon as Lydia finished speaking, the voice on the other end firmly objected. "No way! Takeout isn't good enough. How about this—I'll bring you dinner and keep you company.""That's not necessary, Andrew. What about Wythe if you come over? Don't worry about me; I'm not a child. I can take care of myself.""You don't need to worry about that. I'll bring Wythe with me," Andrew replied, clearly having thought it through.Lydia hesitated. She didn't want to outright refuse hi

Lydia's expression grew increasingly uneasy as she listened. "What did you say? Supervise me working overtime? What does that mean? Are you planning to stay here with me?"Lambert gave her a glance that clearly conveyed how ridiculous he found her question. "Don't take it too seriously. I just have some company documents to handle. I'm not here just for you.""I'm not taking it seriously!" Lydia raised her voice. "I'm just annoyed. I could have worked quietly by myself, but you just had to come over and distract me. If I don't keep up the pace, who will take the blame?"She was frustrated. The last thing she wanted was to see him. Every time she saw him, her emotions stirred uncontrollably.Lambert let out a cold laugh and briskly opened his laptop. "That's your problem, not mine."Lydia gritted her teeth in anger. She and Lambert were clearly destined to clash. Even after the divorce, this man still managed to get under her skin!However, a

Lydia's subconscious display of affection was deeply gratifying to Lambert. In her dazed state, she was unaware that Lambert had brought her back to the villa where they had once lived together.Meanwhile, the Fraine family villa remained brightly lit. Andrew sat on the living room sofa, his expression grim. He regretted returning but couldn't bear to stay when he saw the near-intimate connection between Lydia and Lambert. He stood up restlessly but quickly sat back down.Chad came downstairs and noticed Andrew's unease, prompting him to ask with concern, "Lydia hasn't returned yet?""She said she had to work late. She should be done by now.""Why don't you call her? If you're still worried, go check on her. Don't be afraid to bother her—pursuing a woman requires persistence and patience.""I know, Dad. You should get some rest. It's getting late. Where's Wythe?""Wythe's already asleep. Stop hesitating and do what you need to do. A ma

"Thera..."Lydia clung to Thera like a drowning person grasping at a lifeline, collapsing into her arms and sobbing uncontrollably."There, there, it's okay now," Thera soothed her. "Everything's going to be fine. Don't cry, okay? I'll help you sort everything out. But first, let's get in the car."Thera's comforting words helped Lydia gradually regain her composure, and she obediently followed her into the car."Lydia, where do you want to go? How about staying at my place tonight?"Lydia hesitated for a moment. "No, I should go to Andrew's place. I promised I'd leave work early to spend time with Wythe today, but things got delayed again. If I don't go back tonight, I'm worried Wythe will be upset.""Alright then, if that's what you want. But what happened today? This place isn't far from Lambert's house... Did you just come from there?"Lydia remained silent, causing Thera to rub her forehead in exasperation. "No way! Are you two back together? What about Andrew, that poor fool who

"Andrew, it's not like that. The reason I insist on getting that studio back is because it holds my memories and hard work. I don't want to see all of that go to waste.""But you're wasting even more now—time, energy, and you're putting up with Lambert's torment. Doesn't that hurt you?"Andrew's voice rose in anger, his frustration evident.Lydia was taken aback, not expecting such a strong reaction. She stared at Andrew, realizing that perhaps she didn't know him as well as she thought."Andrew, I'm sorry. If you find my actions too difficult to accept, I can avoid contacting you until I get the studio back...""Lydia, you know that's not what I mean!"Andrew interrupted her, running a hand through his hair in frustration as he tried to calm down. "I get it. If this is what you really want, I'll wait for you to see it through. But after that, can you promise me you won't get involved with Lambert anymore?"Seeing the hopeful look in his eyes, Lydia nodded reluctantly. She had planned

Five minutes later, Ivan walked in with work documents and began reporting the day's schedule to Lambert."Lambert, you have two meetings this morning. At noon, you have lunch with Miss Vann from CB Construction Group, and at 3 p.m., there's a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the branch office. Do you want to make any changes?""No, that should be fine for now. Just make sure to give Lydia a copy of the meeting materials. She'll be joining me for the meetings later.""Got it!"Lydia, who had been mentioned, instinctively looked up, only to find that Lambert wasn't even looking at her. He was completely focused on his work, his expression cold and indifferent.A wave of inexplicable disappointment washed over Lydia, leaving her feeling somewhat unsettled.For the rest of the time, Lambert treated Lydia like any other subordinate, without the slightest hint of anything unusual. Even his tone was flat and businesslike.Lydia felt a mixture of relief and sadness. She couldn't help but laugh at

"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
Pregnant After One Night Stand With Billionaire Chapter 617 It's Time for the Little One to Step In
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
