Andrew noticed that Lydia was in a bad mood, so he didn't say much. Instead, he carried the groceries into the kitchen. Before long, a table full of delicious dishes was prepared.

Just then, Wythe returned home. As he opened the door, the aroma of food hit him. "Wow, it smells amazing! Mom, what did you cook today?"

"Wythe, you're back. Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner," Andrew called out as he brought the dishes from the kitchen. Wythe froze for a moment. "Uncle? How do you have time to come by today?"

"Not happy to see me?" Andrew smiled warmly.

"Of course I'm happy! Super happy! No wonder we're having a feast tonight!"

Wythe joyfully sat down at the table, his big eyes darting back and forth between Andrew and Lydia. Why was he here so suddenly? What a surprise! Ever since they moved out of the Fraine house, his mom and Uncle Fraine had hardly been in touch. For some reason, he hadn't come to visit Lydia. But now, out of nowhere, he a

    Meanwhile, Lambert, who had left, wasn't feeling any better. He decided to call a few friends to the bar for drinks. Horace and Lennon both obliged, arriving quickly. As they pushed open the door to the private room, they saw Lambert sitting there alone, surrounded by empty bottles."Oh my god! How much have you had to drink?" Horace exclaimed as he rushed over, snatching the glass from Lambert's hand. As a doctor, he couldn't just stand by and watch his friend destroy his health.Lennon frowned, "Lambert, what's going on? I thought everything was sorted out. Rein didn't get into Nova City, and Universal Conglomerate's crisis is over. Isn't that good news?"Lambert gave a bitter smile. "Yeah, it's all fine. But do you know why Hiram agreed to help me this time?"Horace and Lennon exchanged glances, shaking their heads. They had been following the situation, but were unaware of the details. Now, it seemed there was more to the story than they knew.

    "The person has been delivered to you. Now, where's my money?"The other party was clearly displeased with her attitude. "Relax, you'll get your money. Didn't we agree from the start? You'll receive it once everything is over."Sibyl's expression turned cold. "No, I want it now! Transfer the money immediately, and this matter ends here. After this, I want nothing more to do with it.""What, do you think getting the money now will let you wash your hands of this? We're already in this together. Besides, I'm your father—why would I harm you? Just be patient. Once everything is over, I'll make sure you and your mother are sent abroad."The person on the other end hung up angrily. Really, always asking for money—what a nuisance!Sibyl listened to the dial tone with a sinister look on her face. That old man is always breaking his promises. But she hadn't counted on him from the beginning. For the sake of her mother and herself, she needed to

    Odgen's words didn't anger Rein in the slightest. Or rather, he didn't believe that Odgen could truly turn his back on this woman, even if she was only a mistress. The real issue was the child she carried. As a man, Rein knew all too well how much children meant to them."Frankly, I don't mind. But are you sure you don't want to make a deal? Because next time, I won't be as agreeable," Rein said smoothly."Rein, don't push me too far!" Odgen was furious."Tell you what, I'll give you two hours. That should be plenty of time to think it over, don't you think?" Rein said, and without waiting for a response, he hung up the phone."You..." Odgen was stunned that Rein had cut him off so abruptly. Thinking about Heloise, who was likely suffering right now, and the innocent life she carried, he immediately called Lambert.Lambert was shocked when he received the call. After Odgen explained the situation, his expression grew serious."Father, I thin

    "Lambert, long time no see!""Sir, I heard you were planning to discuss a deal with my father, but since he's getting on in years, I'm afraid you'll have to deal with me now.""It doesn't matter who I talk to. What matters is your answer. I've already given your father a choice before. I wonder if you're aware of that?""Well, it seems my father's age has caused him to leave some things unsaid. That's why I believe it's better if we discuss this in person. How about this—tonight, I'll host dinner. What do you think?""Where?""Of course, it'll be at JH Club, the most famous entertainment venue in Nova City. Naturally, it also has the best security, making it the perfect place for a business discussion. I'm sure you wouldn't want me to pick a spot where anyone could see us, would you?"Rein caught onto Lambert's sarcasm but didn't take it too seriously. To him, these verbal games were meaningless. In fact, when Lambert mocked him, it on

    "Well, look who's here!" Rein raised his glass with a smile. Odgen glanced around the room, his face tense. "Rein, where is Heloise? You didn't bring her with you?" "You must be joking. We haven't even discussed the deal yet. Why would I bring her along? What if you took her and left? I'd have nothing to gain." Odgen's face turned livid with anger. "Rein, you despicable coward! If you have any guts, deal with us directly! What kind of man uses a woman as leverage?" "Oh, come on, Odgen. You know as well as I do, all's fair in war. Are we really bound by rules of honor?" Odgen's anger erupted at that. His gaze shifted to Ben, unable to contain his fury. "Ben, I've treated you well all these years, and this is how you repay me? You traitor! After everything I've done for you, even a dog would be loyal!" Ben, unbothered, took a sip of his wine. "You're really worked up. Maybe you should calm down, but I'

    Rein suddenly stood up, teeth clenched, and exclaimed, "Lambert! How dare you play me for a fool?"Lambert scoffed, "I've told you before, I hate being threatened. If you truly want to negotiate, how about we do so on equal terms?"Everyone present was stunned. What did that mean? They didn't understand at all.Rein fumed, "Equal terms? What gives you the right to talk about equality? Don't forget, Odgen's lover is still in my hands!"Lambert remained calm, indifferent as he replied, "So what? Do you think I'd be here negotiating with you if I didn't have any cards to play?"Odgen was already dumbfounded by the situation before him. He had no idea what cards Lambert had up his sleeve or how he intended to confront Rein. He seemed to have underestimated his son!Seeing Lambert so confident, Rein was taken aback. "Oh? Why don't you enlighten me about the cards you hold?"Lambert snapped his fingers, and the door was pushed open from the outside. A tall bodyguard entered, forcefully esco

    Rein's expression improved considerably. "That's more like it. Sometimes, compromise doesn't mean you've lost, right? As long as you make the right decisions, you can still be the winner in life!"As he turned to leave, Ben quickly called out, "What about my daughter...?""Once you manage to bring back the child you mentioned, we can discuss the hostage exchange!"Rein adjusted his suit and left the club. Lambert had given him quite a shock today, and he would remember it!The next day, Odgen, unable to sleep all night, went to find Lambert early in the morning. He couldn't afford to delay any longer; every time he closed his eyes, Heloise's face filled his mind.In contrast, Lambert remained calm. He had already anticipated Odgen's visit and had Ivan stall him to prevent his father from ruining his plans.Odgen paced around the office with a coffee cup in hand. "Ivan, did you actually call Lambert? Why isn't he here yet? I've been waiting for over an hour!""I did call, but there's t

    "Boss, there's trouble. The chairman just asked me to prepare the company's stock transfer documents. I overheard him on the phone with Rein, and it sounds like they've reached some sort of agreement. They're supposed to meet at 2 PM.""Got it. Prepare things on your end, but I have other matters to deal with now. We'll discuss this later."Lambert sat in the car, phone in hand, his expression grim. He barked orders at Bob, "Drive faster!"Bob understood. Just five minutes ago, Lambert had received a phone call—one that shook him to his core. It was from Lydia. Although her words were vague, the message was clear enough Wythe was missing!Given the current situation, Wythe's disappearance couldn't help but trigger Lambert's suspicions. However, he also worried that he might be overreacting. Regardless, he swiftly decided to set aside the company matters concerning Odgen and head straight to Lydia's place to get the full picture.A 20-minute drive was condensed into just 12 under Lambe

    "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
