As Lydia finished tidying up the dishes and turned to leave, Lambert couldn't help but call out, "Are you really just going to walk away?" Inside, he felt a reluctance he was too shy to express. Lydia rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Am I supposed to stay so you can mock me?" Lambert rubbed his nose. "That's a bit petty." Lydia was at a loss for how to interact with him; she felt a strong desire but didn't know how to handle the reality of his presence. People are just that contradictory."That's just how I am; you've known that for a while, right?" Lambert sighed and pulled out a velvet box from the drawer, tossing it to her casually. "Here, take it.""What's this?" Lydia asked, curiously examining the exquisite little box."It's a gift for you; keep it safe." Lambert waved his hand dismissively.Lydia opened the box and gasped at the sight of a 6-carat pink diamond, shimmering enticingly. She instantly loved it—what woman could resist the allure of jewelry? However, she quickly pushed

Unrequited love is always the most painful. No matter what it takes, Chad was determined to keep Lydia by his side, willing to try anything."I won't accept this! I'll make you pay! I'll beat you to death, and then I'll feel satisfied!"Still furious, Chad grabbed a nearby golf club and was about to swing it at Andrew when Clara hurriedly stepped in to stop him."Enough! Andrew is already in so much pain. Don't hit him anymore!""You're always spoiling him! If this keeps up, he's going to think he can do whatever he wants! Just listen to the nonsense he's spouting, trying to force that poor girl into marriage. How is he any different from those bandits and bullies of the past?"Chad had always been the kind of man who played by the rules. Now, being forced to deceive someone went against everything he believed in, and he just couldn't reconcile it within himself.Clara, on the other hand, couldn't bear to see their son suffer any longer. Sin

Andrew's eyes were filled with desperation, and Lydia couldn't help but feel a bit cruel. Still, she knew very well that now was not the time for her to show any mercy.Hesitation only brings more agony!After a moment's thought, Lydia's expression became serious."Andrew!"The sound of her calling him like that made Andrew's heart skip a beat. He felt a vague sense of unease, as Lydia rarely spoke to him in such a distant, cold tone."Lydia... as long as you don't leave me, I'll agree to anything," Andrew pleaded. By now, he had cast aside all dignity, lowering himself into the dust with nothing but his love for her.But Lydia shook her head. "Andrew, I'm really angry right now. But I also know that emotions can't be controlled. However, using those emotions to hurt others—that's what I truly cannot accept.""I never wanted to hurt you, and I never will," Andrew replied."I'm not talking about me. Do you think planning t

"Beep beep beep..."A sudden ringing disrupted the silence. Lambert paused in his steps, instinctively pulling out his phone. As he glanced down, a rare softness flickered in his gaze."Wythe, what's going on?"Andy and Colin exchanged bewildered glances. What was happening? Had the boss suddenly cheered up?"Dad, did you know that Mom's getting married today?" It was a message from Wythe.On the screen were several missed calls—from Thera, Ivan, and surprisingly, even Lydia.Lambert remained silent for a moment before typing out a reply "Yes, I know.""Then why didn't you bring Mom back? What are you doing traveling at a time like this?" Wythe was anxious. What was his father thinking? Shouldn't he be stopping the wedding? His wife was about to run off with someone else!"Wythe, this is your mom's choice, and I've decided to respect it."On the other end, both mother and son were momentarily stunned by this message.Lydia's expression turned cold as she snatched the phone from Wythe'

Lydia took a step forward and hugged Thera. "Thank you, Thera. Honestly, meeting you has been the luckiest thing for me since I came back.""It's just a shame you're still not willing to stay," Thera replied, her heart filled with reluctance and sadness.She truly cared for this friend, and even though the man she loved was more concerned about Lydia, she didn't mind.Lydia smiled, though her expression was heavy. With a lingering glance at the closed window on the second floor, she silently whispered, *Wythe, I'm sorry. Please, let Mommy be selfish just this once.*After that, she climbed into the car and instructed the driver to head to the station.In the early morning light, Thera watched Lydia's figure disappear and let out a long sigh."Mom!" Wythe suddenly woke up from a dream, his forehead covered in cold sweat. At that moment, his bedroom door opened, and Thera walked in, full of concern."Wythe, what's wrong? Did you have a bad dream?"Wythe blinked, still feeling like he ha
