“Gurgle…”
Hearing the sound coming from Wythe’s stomach, Lambert couldn’t help but want to smirk. The feeling of blood connection was truly wonderful. Looking at this child was like seeing his past and his future!
Wythe felt extremely embarrassed as he covered his stomach. It was almost noon now, and he had only eaten a sandwich and drank a glass of milk in the morning. Feeling hungry now was normal!
“Let’s go, let’s have lunch first!”
While Wythe awkwardly fumbled, Lambert directly approached and lifted the child. He’s quite heavy!
It seemed that the mother had raised the child well. Maybe he could double the amount he had originally
planned to compensate her with! Anyway, the woman probably had the same goal in mind.
In the moment Lambert’s strong arms lifted him, Wythe realized the difference between his father and
mother.
Compared to his mother’s soft embrace, his father’s embrace was firmer and warmer, with powerful
arms. The cool scent of mint was just like what he smelled on his mother.
Initially, Wythe wanted to push Lambert’s hands away but then hesitated. Well, this hug was tolerable; he
was tired after the morning’s commotion anyway!
Wythe’s small movements didn’t escape Lambert’s eyes. A hint of tenderness appeared in his deep gaze.
Such a cute and clever child was his son, and he felt a sense of pride!
At the same time, Lambert was determined to take him home.
Father and son finished a peaceful and warm lunch together. Then Lambert spoke up, “Jamie, do you have any plans?”
Wythe thought for a moment. “None! Since everything is confirmed now, I should go back. Mom would
worry if she doesn’t see me when she returns tonight!”
“You still want to go back?” Lambert frowned. “Don’t go back. From today on, you’ll come home with me! Since it’s confirmed that you’re my son, I won’t let you wander outside!”
Lambert’s face showed a domineering expression that brooked no refusal, surprising Wythe. At the same time, he couldn’t help but think, Dad is really cool!
Of course, it would be even better if this domineering attitude wasn’t directed at him!
“I won’t go back with you!” Wythe decisively expressed his stance, leaving Lambert puzzled.
“Why did you appear in front of me then? Did you come to my company specifically to have a paternity

test done, not to return to my side? After all, I’m your father!”
Perhaps it was Wythe’s mature demeanor that made Lambert involuntarily treat him as an equal, just like a friend, and discuss matters with him.
If it were according to Lambert’s usual character, a mere child like him wouldn’t need his consent to stay or leave! Moreover, Lambert’s orders wouldn’t leave any room for dissent from others!
As for the child’s mother, he had his ways to deal with her!
Wythe felt troubled. What should he do? He had come to find Lambert out of curiosity, but now he was going to be taken back by him. This couldn’t do. Mom would definitely cry! He couldn’t bear it!
With a turn of his thoughts, Wythe came up with an idea. Dad only said he would take him back, but didn’t say he couldn’t run away midway. Thinking of this, a cunning light flashed in Wythe’s eyes.
Because of Wythe’s unexpected appearance, Lambert didn’t feel like staying in the company anymore. After giving some instructions to his work, he drove Wythe home. It was Saturday today, and both parents were at home. He wondered what their expressions would be when they saw this surprise.
As the car raced along, apart from Wythe’s initial refusal to go back with Lambert, there was no further mischief. Lambert’s mood was particularly good.
When the car passed by an ice cream shop with a long line, Wythe slyly curled his lips.
“Dad, Dad, I want Häagen–Dazs! Can I eat it first before going to your house?”
Lambert’s heart warmed at the sound of “Dad.” His gaze softened a bit. “Alright, it’s indeed a bit hot today. But kids shouldn’t have too much cold food.”
“I’ll just have one. When I was with Mom, I never had such expensive ice cream. I don’t know if it’s good. Can Dad buy it for me?”
Lambert’s heart softened. “Of course! Wait here in the car. I’ll go queue up!”
“Thank you, Dad! Then I’ll wait in the car. Dad, hurry back.” Wythe gave Lambert a cute look, making Lambert feel even better, and he parked the car at the side of the road, crossed the street, and bought ice cream for his son.
Wythe blew a kiss at Lambert’s back, “Bye, Dad! We’ll see each other again soon! But I can’t go with you
now!”
After some thought, Wythe left a few words on the car window, so Lambert wouldn’t think he was kidnapped!
Everything was ready. With a small body, he unbuckled the safety belt, slid down from the other side of the seat, and quietly left the luxurious Maybach.

When Lambert finally bought the ice cream and returned to the car, all he was greeted with was the car’s
air conditioning and the empty interior. There were a few crooked characters written on the car window
with water mist: “Bye, Dad! See you next time!”
Lambert looked at the twisted characters in astonishment! Was this really a child?!
After returning home from work, Lydia was surprised to see her darling obediently watching cartoons at
home.
Wasn’t Wythe supposed to dislike watching cartoons? He always said they were too childish.
What was going on? This was so unusual!
Little did Lydia know that, during her time at work, Wythe had successfully dealt with her Mr. Halsey and
even managed to escape without leaving any trace.
On the other hand, Lambert, who was trying to find his son, returned to the company to retrieve
surveillance footage, only to discover that the computer system had suddenly been infected with a virus.
Any video footage featuring Wythe couldn’t be accessed at all, which darkened his expression!
He secretly speculated whether this was done by the child’s mother to prevent him from finding his son,
or was it another tactic to tease him?
With this thought, Lambert’s impression of the child’s mother, who had always been hiding in the
background, became even worse. However, he was determined to find that little guy!
How could his son be left wandering outside?
