Chapter 40 This is my son
At this moment, Lambert didn’t care about their thoughts.
His heart was filled with joy. This clever little guy had disappeared after that one time, and he had spent quite some effort searching for him.
Unexpectedly, the child suddenly appeared!
How could he not be surprised?
Wythe stiffened for a moment when Lambert lifted him up, but then relaxed when he remembered his purpose for coming.
After all, Dad wouldn’t hurt him. As for the others, they still needed to be observed.
So, Wythe lifted his cute little head. “I came here to eat, of course, but it’s such a coincidence to see Dad
here!”
Lambert’s heart softened, and he reached out to touch Wythe’s soft hair. “I’ve been looking for you for a
long time. I didn’t expect to find you here. I’m so happy! This time, no sneaking away, okay?”
Wythe pursed his lips. “We’ll see.”
Watching the interaction between father and son, the people at the table were completely dumbfounded.
Especially Nydia, she had never seen her son so affectionate and tender before.
Lambert, like her, had always been reserved since childhood, never enjoying playing with children.
Even as he grew up, she hadn’t seen him show much fondness for kids. But just now, he had willingly lifted the child and even spoke to him so gently.
Most importantly, Nydia noticed that the child looked exactly like Lambert did when he was young! It made her suspect if Lambert had deliberately arranged this.
While Nydia remained calm, Odgen seemed more excited. He had been looking forward to having a grandson for quite some time.
Especially after several old friends had grandchildren and occasionally boasted about them, he wouldn’t have agreed to his wife’s plan to coax their son into attending a blind date dinner without such a prospect in mind.
But now, a child clearly related to his son had suddenly appeared before them. How could Odgen not be excited?
Odgen excitedly took Wythe from Lambert’s arms, examining him carefully. Even his fingers trembled with excitement. “Lambert, this child just called you Dad, did he?”

Lambert’s gaze softened as he looked at Wythe and nodded slightly. “He’s Jamie, my son. Jamie, say
hello to Grandpa!”
Wythe seemed to have a good impression of the middle–aged man holding him. Since he was Dad’s father, naturally, he should call him Grandpa. So, he obediently said, “Hello, Grandpa!”
Odgen’s eyes welled up with tears. Holding onto Wythe tightly, he refused to let go. “Good, good, my dear! Come on, Grandpa didn’t bring anything with him, so here, take this as a gift.”
Odgen directly took off the necklace he was wearing and put it around Wythe’s neck. Wythe didn’t refuse,
he just politely said, “Thank you, Grandpa!”
Then he leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek.
This made Odgen so happy that he couldn’t stop smiling. But Lambert, on the side, seemed a bit unhappy.
After all, he had just found his son, and he hadn’t even kissed him yet!
So Lambert reached out and pulled Wythe back into his arms, letting him sit directly on his lap. He looked at Nydia, whose expression was somewhat complicated. “Mom, this is my son Jamie. We’ve
already done a paternity test.”
“Hello, Grandma!”
Wythe’s eyes turned, and he slid down from Lambert’s body, walking over to Nydia’s side. He tiptoed and also kissed her on the cheek, softening Nydia’s heart instantly.
Actually, from the moment Nydia saw the child’s face, she had already confirmed his identity. Looking at
Wythe, who looked so much like her own son, it was hard for anyone not to like him.
Nydia had previously been concerned about whether this child’s identity was true. Now that Lambert
said they had done a paternity test, she naturally felt very happy.
Nydia’s lineage was noble, with her mother being a princess of the European royal family. She had higher
demands for the purity of bloodlines.
But now that the identity had been confirmed, especially since this child looked so obedient and cute, how could she not like him? It could even be counted as a pleasant surprise!
She had thought she didn’t know when she would see Lambert get married, but it turned out he already had such a big son!
The whole family was happy about Wythe’s appearance, except for Penny, who’s face changed repeatedly. But no matter what, she couldn’t change her wish to marry into the Shen family. As for the child! Hmph! Just a child, she wasn’t afraid! (1)
So, Penny put on an extremely elegant smile. “Congratulations, I didn’t expect you to already have such a big son.”

Penny’s words made Nydia and Odgen, who had been immersed in joy, somewhat embarrassed.
Speaking of which, today’s event was indeed their idea. They had brought Penny over without Lambert’s knowledge, originally intending for the young people to get to know each other better. Unexpectedly, a grandson had inexplicably appeared.
The two glanced at each other, and Odgen spoke first, “Penny, we’re sorry about today’s situation. We didn’t expect so many unexpected things to happen. But look at the current situation, if you mind…”
Odgen didn’t finish his sentence, but Penny immediately understood his meaning. It meant that this grandson had been acknowledged, and if she minded, there was no need to continue this meal.
Penny clenched her fists secretly, her freshly done nails digging into her flesh. The pain made her slightly calmer.
Although what they did was indeed a bit too much, who gave them the capital!
And most importantly, Penny had her own unspeakable purpose.
On the surface, Penny’s family was indeed quite well–off, but in reality, it was not something outsiders
could know.
She was the only daughter in the family, yes, but her uncles were not to be underestimated.
Over the years, they often came knocking for money, and with her father’s honest nature, if not for her mother’s dominance, the entire family would have been divided up long ago.
Of course, outsiders wouldn’t know about these things, so Penny lowered her status to please them, and she was eager to marry Lambert.
Now, because of the appearance of an illegitimate child, she was going to give up everything she had
planned?
She couldn’t do it! Moreover, which upper–class family didn’t have one or two illegitimate children?
As long as his wife was her, she’ll put up with anything!
