Chapter 12 Daddy NO. 2
“Hey, are you back to your senses?”
Like the low, husky tones of a cello, the voice smashed into Lydia’s ears, abruptly waking her up.
She raised her head and met a pair of mocking eyes, suddenly infuriated!
Thinking about how she had been inexplicably molested by this man, Lydia’s face flushed with heat.
“You! Bastard!” Lydia was furious and lost her temper, not mincing her words. She then noticed that the people who had chased after them earlier seemed to have left.
Lambert extended his slender fingers, lightly touching Lydia’s delicate red lips. The mockery in his eyes didn’t diminish. “Is that so? It seems like you enjoyed it too… Mm!”
Before Lambert could finish his sentence, he felt a sharp blow between his legs. The spot that was previously alert suddenly became limp with pain. His usually calm and indifferent face twisted slightly, veins popping on his forehead in an instant.
Lydia pushed Lambert away all of a sudden, and then, with her chin raised slightly, she looked at the man’s pained face, and seemingly not relieved, she fiercely kicked him in the leg.
Caught off guard, Lambert was hit straight on, his temples throbbing, and rare anger surged in his eyes!
After Lydia did all this, she made a face at him, snorted, and proudly turned around, “We’re even now!”
Then, Lydia hurriedly walked away. It had been quite some time, and she didn’t know if Wythe and Andrew had been looking for her.
Lambert’s deep gaze followed Lydia’s slender figure and the still blushing neck, and suddenly, something deep in his heart moved quietly. Thinking of her previous proud and mischievous appearance, he couldn’t help but slowly curl up the corners of his lips.
Interesting!
In fact, Lydia wanted to dig a hole and hide in it. She knew clearly that if the man hadn’t timely reminded her just now, she might have lost control. It was really embarrassing!
However, that domineering posture and kiss made her feel strangely familiar!
Shaking her head, Lydia cleared away the scenes that made her blush and her heart beat faster from her mind, and quickly ran to meet her son.
When Wythe and Andrew arrived together, they saw Lydia leaning against the wall with a vacant look in her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking. Andrew felt like Lydia’s current appearance was more charming than before, like a rose growing in a greenhouse, nourished by rain.

Wythe’s lively eyes darted mischievously, tugging at Lydia’s clothes.
Lydia instinctively crouched down, asking in a low voice, “What’s wrong, sweetheart?”
Wythe, with his sharp nose, smelled a refreshing scent of mint, a scent he had never smelled before, not from Mom, nor from Andrew.
So, Wythe widened his big eyes, squinted slightly, and leaned close to Lydia’s ear, asking in a low voice,” Mom, did you find Daddy NO. 2?”
Lydia’s mind flashed back to the earlier embarrassing scene, and her ears suddenly heated up, feeling embarrassed to be guessed by her son. She couldn’t help but gently pat Wythe’s small head, “Silly boy,
what nonsense are you talking about!”
A knowing smile flickered in Wythe’s beautiful eyes. It seemed that Mom had indeed found the second
candidate!
Well, the more, the merrier!

After this welcoming banquet, Lydia also began to immerse herself in work again.
This time, she returned from Paris with two main objectives. Firstly, she aimed to penetrate the domestic market with her clothing brand that she had established.
Secondly, of course, she was determined to reclaim what rightfully belonged to her!
Standing by the window, gazing at the distant gloomy sky, Lydia’s eyes were filled with determination. ” Ron! Maggie! I’m back! Are you ready?”
“Mom, I’m ready to go,” Wythe’s voice brought Lydia back to the present.
Turning to her son, whom she was proud of, Lydia asked gently, “Wythe, you don’t mind Mummy enrolling you, do you?”
Wythe shrugged, “Whatever, it’s just kindergarten!”
Though being with a bunch of kids might be boring, geniuses also needed a childhood! As long as Mom was happy!
Lydia smiled and ruffled his hair.
Though she knew her son was a genius and had self–studied up to the level of middle school textbooks, in Lydia’s eyes, Wythe was only a five–year–old child.
He should have some interaction with kids his age to better integrate into society.
Therefore, Lydia helped her son enroll in a nearby kindergarten. Although it seemed to make Wythe

somewhat dissatisfied, as the saying goes, a mother knows her child best. Lydia knew the little guy would understand.
After dropping Wythe off at the kindergarten, Lydia glanced at the time, 8:35.
Her meeting with Universal Conglomerate was scheduled for 9:00. Could she make it to Universal Conglomerate from here in twenty–five minutes?
Lydia frowned slightly, feeling anxious. This was her first battle after returning to the country. The success or failure of her clothing brand, “Nocturne,” in entering the domestic market depended on this
moment!
Although Lydia had already gained fame as a prominent designer in Paris and had been admired by many in Parisian high society, she felt a bit apprehensive about returning home.
The reason she chose to cooperate with Universal Conglomerate this time was twofold.
On one hand, she was attracted by Universal Conglomerate’s substantial assets. Once the contract was signed successfully, she wouldn’t need to worry about packaging and selling her products domestically. She could focus solely on designing.
On the other hand, she valued Universal Conglomerate’s good reputation.
Strictly speaking, Universal Conglomerate had numerous subsidiaries, and this time she was only collaborating with one of its divisions called Universal Apparel, which primarily dealt with various top-
tier clothing brands.
Once the collaboration was successful, it would be a definite affirmation of Lydia’s efforts over the years.
Lydia took a deep breath, silently encouraging herself. She would definitely succeed!
As the car turned a corner, Lydia gradually eased off the accelerator. Suddenly, a figure darted out from the side. Lydia was startled, and she immediately slammed on the brakes!
Screech—
Bang!
The sound of the wheels scraping against the ground made Lydia’s heart race. Then, she heard a thud, and her heart leaped into her throat.
