However, that commanding presence, which instinctively demanded submission, made her hesitate; could it be any ordinary client?Upon receiving the news, Lambert rose from his chair, straightened his suit, and strode purposefully towards the third-floor conference room.The meeting had just begun. Lydia, along with some company executives and several from SAC Corporation, had just taken their seats.Andrew, as the general manager of SAC, was the first to speak."Thank you all..."Bam! The sound of the conference room door being pushed open suddenly echoed!All eyes turned towards the sound, revealing a tall, imposing figure standing at the doorway.Clad in a tailored black suit that perfectly accentuated his tall stature, his gaze swept over the occupants of the room, sending a chill down their spines and causing an involuntary shiver.Andrew furrowed his brows subconsciously, sensing a foreboding.Lydia, equally surprised, looked towards Lambert, her mouth agape. What was he doing her
Lydia and Lambert were out buying groceries for dinner, but back at SAC Corporation, Andrew wore a mask of melancholy.Lambert! The man who's like a myth in the business world turns out to be Wythe's father.And judging by Lydia's demeanor, they must have been in contact all this time.Does that mean he has no chance at all?Andrew stood despondently by the floor-to-ceiling window in his office, filled with determination.He wouldn't give up! Despite years of secret admiration and waiting, he couldn't let Lambert win just because he seemed unbeatable.He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they were filled with determination.He wouldn't give up!***Since they had some time, Lambert and Lydia went together to pick up their son, Wythe, from daycare.As Wythe happily joined his classmates, he was pleasantly surprised to see both his mommy and daddy there to pick him up!With a broad smile, Wythe hurried forward, "Daddy! Mommy!"Seeing his son's joyful expression, Lambert's
The next day when Lydia showed up for work, her face was glowing with excitement.As a result, the stories circulating in the company about her and Lambert gained further validation.For a while, many female employees looked at her with envy in their eyes.Especially the receptionist who had previously met Lambert, she proudly boasted to her gossiping colleagues, "See, I told you he was Lydia's boyfriend! Didn't you see how intimate they were when they left together yesterday? And he's so handsome, so wealthy! How can Mr. Andrew even compare?!"Cough!One sharp-eyed female employee noticed Andrew not far away and quickly tried to warn the receptionist with a wink, but she was too carried away, not realizing that the subject of her gossip was standing right behind her!"That's the truth, not to mention anything else, just look at that face, Mr. Andrew can't hold a candle to him!"As Andrew approached, the female employee who had been warned earlier quickly bowed and greeted, "Mr. Andre
The assistant's mind was buzzing with curiosity when Lambert spoke up, "I heard there's a celebrity having a concert in today. Do you know where exactly?"The assistant paused. Since when did the boss become a fan of stars? But he just needed to provide the location, so he promptly replied, "It seems to be at the Oriental Gymnasium!"Lambert instruct, "Cancel tonight's dinner party and go buy some things!"After a moment of hesitation, the assistant couldn't resist his gossipy nature and blurted out, "Boss, are you planning to attend the concert tonight?"Before the assistant could finish, Lambert shot him a glacial look, piercing as ice daggers. "Do I need to explain my actions to you?"The assistant broke out in a cold sweat at Lambert's response, refraining from asking any further questions and simply obeying Lambert's instructions.After the assistant left, Lambert pondered for a moment before dialing a number. "Lennon! It's me!"Lennon found it amusing how his friend had been cal
Lydia was initially a bit nervous, but by the time they arrived at the stadium, she was completely swept away by the atmosphere around her.The area outside the stadium was filled with fans who had come to attend the concert, many of them arriving in groups, holding various signs in support of Ted.Excited and nervous, they awaited Ted's arrival.Lydia's excitement knew no bounds.She even leaned out of the car window, trying to catch a glimpse of Ted!The atmosphere was electric, even before the concert began."Andrew, I can't believe there are so many people here today!"As Lydia got out of the car, her eyes sparkled with excitement.Thinking about all the people who, like her, had admired Ted for years, she felt an inexplicable thrill.It was a soulful resonance among fans who shared the same idol.Watching Lydia's fervor, Andrew secretly speculated that bringing her here was indeed the right decision!However, he also felt a bit worried. With all this excitement, would Lydia even
Standing next to Lydia, Andrew's expression was utterly defeated.What on earth was going on?Amidst the various speculations from the fans, Lambert finished singing the chorus part and rose from the piano. At this moment, Ted also signaled for everyone to quiet down."Shh! Everyone, love is always a miracle! This gentleman here is a friend of mine, and today, he's here for the girl he loves! So, let's witness a beautiful miracle together!"With Ted's introduction, the venue fell into complete silence.Fans were thrilled, realizing Ted was helping his friend pursue his girlfriend!Lambert held the microphone, standing tall on the stage.A single glance from him silenced the audience, truly silenced them, as the fans felt an inexplicable tension, fixated on the man on stage, unsure of what he would do next.Lydia held her breath, feeling her heart almost leap out of her chest.It was obvious to her for whom Lambert had come.Lambert stood tall on the stage, scanning the crowd for Lydia
Lydia's heart warmed as she reached out and grasped Lambert's hand. "How did you even think of coming to the concert?"Lambert glanced at her sideways, his tone tinged with sarcasm. "You're already holding hands with another guy to come to the concert. Shouldn't I be worried you'd be swayed by someone else?"Lydia blushed and punched him lightly in the chest. "Nonsense! It just so happened that Andrew's friend had some spare tickets, and they didn't want them to go to waste...""Pffft! Only someone as naive as you would believe that.Don't you know the price for the front row tickets you're in is over ten grand? Let alone they're two adjacent seats!"His words made Lydia hesitate. It did seem too coincidental. But Andrew shouldn't have any other intentions towards her, right?For a moment, Lydia felt unsure again.Seeing Lydia lost in thought, Lambert reached out and pulled her into a kiss, dominating and possessive.If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have stooped to attending a singe
Lydia and Prima were taken aback by the sudden turn of events.Before they could react, the models had already approached and started putting on their company's garments!Lydia and Prima exchanged glances, then a man with red-dyed hair and blue eyeshadow walked over, elegantly raising his hand in greeting."Hello, I'm Leo, the head of LEO Modeling Agency. It's a pleasure to meet you. You must be the fashion designer for this event, Miss Lydia? I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation!"Lydia's gaze passed over Leo and directly to the man standing at the door.He was smiling faintly, looking at her.Feeling her eyes welling up, Lydia's tears fell.Leo, sensing the situation, tactfully led Prima away to prepare for the event.With a choked voice, Lydia stepped forward and threw herself into Lambert's arms. "Thank you!""It's alright now."Lydia buried her head in Lambert's embrace for a while before bursting into laughter.Tears still lingered in her eyes, her crying and laughing appea
Using their son as a shield might seem a bit embarrassing, but it was undeniably effective. Sure enough, upon hearing Wythe's name, Lydia paused her resistance to Lambert. She struggled to move her legs and began to make her way toward her home.What should have been a short ten-minute walk turned into a half-hour ordeal due to Lydia's difficulty in moving. During this time, she even awkwardly made a trip to the restroom. As she entered the later stages of her pregnancy, not only had her legs swollen, but her trips to the bathroom had also increased significantly. Just moments ago, she had finished a latte, which made the situation even more awkward—suddenly needing to find a restroom while walking.Lambert, while unaware of the many inconveniences pregnancy could bring, couldn't help but feel like a negligent husband and father as he watched Lydia struggle. He realized he knew nothing about what she was going through. Seeing her in such discomfort made his heart
Lambert closed his eyes, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart. He had truly found Lydia!"Sorry, Lydia, I think I got a bit carried away!"Could this be a dream? If it is, he hoped he'd never wake up.Lydia was at a loss for words. This wasn't just being a bit excited; he was clearly overwhelmed!She decided to change the subject. "Lambert, how's Wythe doing?" Her son was the person she cared about most, and the one she felt she owed the most to."He's fine, but he really misses you. I didn't expect that after all this time, you wouldn't even call once."Hearing this, Lydia lowered her head, guilt washing over her. In some ways, she knew she hadn't been a very good mother. She had neglected her son for her own feelings."I'm sorry..."Lambert sighed softly, a mix of emotions swirling within him. "You don't need to apologize, Lydia. It's all my fault. If I hadn't misunderstood you, you wouldn't have felt the need to leave Nov
Debby felt a sudden jolt, her ears turning bright red. Being caught doing something wrong and exposed in public was a uniquely uncomfortable experience."Uh, I..."Lambert's heart raced. Could it be that he finally found the right place? Was Lydia really at this kindergarten?Fearing he might startle her, he spoke gently, his tone patient. "Debby, there's been a misunderstanding between Lydia and me. I care about her deeply, and I can't lose her. I don't know how you've interpreted our situation, but as her friend, I assume you want her to be happy too?"Debby hesitated at his words. Was this man truly a scoundrel? Upon reflection, Lydia had only mentioned that she had divorced her partner and left Nova City due to some circumstances. She had never spoken ill of her ex-husband, so perhaps she had misjudged him?Debby's expression shifted, yet she still seemed unsure. Lambert seized the moment to ask, "Debby, Lydia hasn't left, has she?""How
Lydia could hardly believe her ears, but Debby wouldn't lie to her. So, Lambert had really come looking for her.Her emotions were a whirlwind. It had been nearly five months since she left. During this time, she had come to Y City alone, found a job at a kindergarten, and gradually found some peace.Being away from the chaos allowed Lydia to reflect on herself, and she realized that the situation with Lambert wasn't entirely his fault. While he sometimes acted presumptuously, his intentions were good—he always acted out of concern for himself. Each argument only chipped away at their relationship.No bond can withstand constant fighting.Lost in thought, Lydia absentmindedly traced her fingers over her phone screen. Should she reach out to Lambert? According to Debby, he was probably headed to Rong City.She lowered her gaze, her long eyelashes casting shadows over her troubled eyes. When she first heard that Lambert was looking for her, her
As Lambert stepped out of the apartment, a lost look lingered in his eyes. For the past few months, he had been caught in a cycle of hope and disappointment almost every single day.He should have been used to it by now, but each time he felt let down, hurt, and increasingly restless. The longer the search went on, the more he worried about whether he would ever find Lydia."Hey, don't be too downcast. Finding someone is like this; as long as you persevere, you will eventually locate them!"Lambert nodded at her comforting words, knowing well that now wasn't the time to give up."Lambert, since you haven't found her yet, what's your next move?"He frowned slightly. "I think I'll stay here for a while. According to the information my friend gave me, there might be another Lydia in City Y."She sighed. "You really have it tough. How long do you think it will take to find her? It's like searching for a needle in a haystack!""It's okay;
Upon seeing the information, Lambert felt as though he'd been tirelessly searching, only to stumble upon the answer effortlessly.Watching him hold the household registry, his hands trembling, the elderly woman knew that this young man truly loved his wife. She couldn't help but sigh. Why couldn't people just talk things out calmly instead of storming off? When this Lambert finally found his wife, she made a mental note to have a good talk with her. After all, finding someone who genuinely loves you these days isn't easy, especially someone as handsome and devoted as him.As she shared more advice, Lambert listened attentively. A couple of hours later, there he was, standing outside apartment 803 of Building 6, disguised in a delivery uniform, complete with a sunhat and a package in hand.*Ding dong, ding dong...*Lambert stood at the door, feeling anxious. He feared the person inside wouldn't be Lydia, but also worried they wouldn't answer at all.
The intense longing Lambert felt was like ants gnawing at his heart—an unbearable pain that consumed him. Yet, this separation made him realize even more clearly how deeply Lydia had become a part of his life. Without her, he felt utterly lost, as though she had completely permeated his existence without him even noticing.After a brief rest, Lambert began his search for information. He quietly arrived at the neighborhood where one of the pregnant women named Lydia was living and started asking around about her."You seem unfamiliar. You're not from around here, are you?" An elderly woman approached him, curiosity in her eyes.Lambert's heart leaped at the question. He had been wondering how to start the conversation, and now someone had given him the perfect opportunity. "You've got a sharp eye, ma'am. I'm new here.""I thought so! We don't usually see such a handsome young man in our neighborhood," the woman commented."Are you here for work, or are you planning to settle down? You
Lambert knelt down, meeting Wythe's eyes, and asked gently, "Wythe, are you sure this is what you want? Staying here while we're away—won't you feel lonely?"Though Wythe didn't want to be separated from his father, he wanted even more for his dad to focus fully on finding his mom, so they could all be together again. There's a saying about temporary separation being for a longer reunion—something like that."If I miss you, I can always call or video chat! Don't worry, Dad, I'm all grown up now—I won't embarrass you!"Lambert ruffled Wythe's hair, pride swelling in his chest. "You'll always be my best son! Both your mom and I are so proud of you."Wythe blushed a little. "Dad, don't praise me in front of everyone like this, I might actually get too proud!"Thera, standing nearby, burst into laughter at his bashful expression and swooped in to pick him up, giving him a playful kiss on the cheek. "Don't worry, Lambert. I've got Wythe covered. He'll be just fine with me."Andrew chimed i
Lambert carefully tucked Wythe into bed before solemnly opening the letter Lydia had left behind."...Lambert, by the time you read this letter, I'll probably already be in another city. I'm not sure if we'll ever see each other again.Sometimes, I wonder how we ended up like this. We once loved each other so deeply, but now, we've only caused each other endless pain.There's nothing going on between Andrew and me. I don't know if you'll believe me when I say this, but when I first found out I was pregnant again, I wanted to tell you the truth. Sadly, it seemed like you weren't willing to listen.I tried, again and again, to get back together with you, but no matter how hard I tried, it felt like we were two parallel lines—never to intersect again.Lambert, I don't know if I'm making the right decision, or even why I'm doing this. I just know that if I stayed in Nova City, I would lose my mind. So I've decided to leave. I need to find a place where no one knows me, and I don't know an
