Chapter 126
“Tell the driver to go back and wait for my call,” Ryan said and effortlessly took Audrey’s suitcase from her hands. With one arm holding the child and the other pulling the suitcase, he looked at Audrey and said, “Lead the way!”
Lily carefully observed Audrey’s expression while her tiny hands tightly gripped the back of Ryan’s
coat.
Audrey had no choice but to follow Ryan to the parking lot.
Audrey and Ryan had outstanding looks, and the little one in Ryan’s arms exuded irresistible charm. Despite the fact that Ryan exuded a down–to–earth demeanor in his suit, he held the child and carried Audrey’s luggage as if attentively caring for his wife. Together, the trio drew countless glances wherever they walked.
After Ryan, Audrey, and the child left, the executives of Lambert Corporation couldn’t help but inquire of Julian.
“What’s going on? Wasn’t Mr. Lambert engaged to the Shaw family? How come his child is so big already?”
“Yeah! I didn’t hear anything about Mr. Lambert getting married! Who’s that beautiful woman?”
“What beautiful woman? They even have a child together! That’s the boss’s wife! They look so perfect together.”
Gossip was human nature, even for these high–ranking executives of Lambert Corporation.
“This is Mr. Lambert’s private matter, and I’m not very clear about it! If you’re interested, you can wait for Mr. Lambert to come back and ask him yourself,” Julian said with a smile.
As they walked out, a few executives remarked, “Oh well! I’d rather not! The last time I asked Mr. Lambert when he and M
Cecilia were going to get engaged so we could share the joy, he sent me to Affina for two months. I almost couldn’t make it back!”
Nathan stood still as he watched Ryan and Audrey leave with the child. His breathing became rapid,
and he leaned against the wall while almost losing his balance.
Considering the child’s age, did Audrey manage to save the child when she fell back then?
No,
he had gone to the hospital and asked, and the doctor said the child hadn’t made it.
For some reason, Nathan felt a sense of relief.
For years, Nathan had been tormented almost daily by the memory of Audrey losing the child.
Especially as time passed and more memories of Audrey came flooding back.
Yes, after four years, Nathan recalled many fragments of his time with Audrey, but they were just fragments, not a complete picture of their life together.
Chapter 126
2/2
Like the summer when he and Audrey returned to Eastville and stayed at Anne’s house.
He recalled memories of Anne that day he knelt by her grave. He could barely stand up from crying.
He remembered Anne’s scrambled eggs, the ice–cold soda she handed him, and how, when he argued with Audrey, Anne would rub his head and call him the most handsome young man.
After Nathan retrieved those memories, he regretted every moment. He regretted why he had pushed Anne away back then.
He had promised Audrey that he would treat Anne as his own mother.
However, he pushed Anne away and caused her death.
Nathan apologized countless times to Anne’s cold grave, but there was no one to gently pat his head and tell him not to worry anymore.
He wanted to apologize to Audrey, but because of the child, he didn’t even dare to see her.
