Chapter 127
Though it was just a tiny fragment in Nathan’s memory of over twenty years, it was enough to fill him with overwhelming regret.
He even prayed to the heavens, begging not to recall the past, not to restore any memories.
He feared remembering the moments Audrey had constantly brought up in front of him. He feared that he had truly loved Audrey, loved her to the extent of forsaking everything. If he remembered everything, then what he had done for her after she woke up wouldn’t count for anything!
Audrey took the car keys from the driver at the airport parking lot while Ryan had already secured Lily in her car seat and fastened her seatbelt.
With her long eyelashes, Lily blinked her eyes and whispered to Ryan, “Daddy, why does mommy make me call you Mr. Lambert? Did you make her angry? Mommy is easy to coax. My big brother taught me that if mommy gets mad, I should…”
Lily grabbed Ryan’s index finger and pinky, then rubbed her chubby face toward them.
“This way, mommy won’t be mad,” Lily whispered to Ryan..
Ryan’s eyes welled up at how obedient and gentle Lily was. He controlled his emotions and stroked the little one’s head. “Okay, I understand!”
Knowing that Ryan had taken her words to heart, Lily yawned and rubbed her eyes.
No one told Ryan that his and Audrey’s child was still alive. He thought his child was gone.
When he first met Lily, he assumed she was Audrey’s adopted child due to not being able to handle the pain of losing theirs.
Now he was certain she was their child.
Ryan pinched Lily’s chubby cheeks with his long, slender fingers. “Are you tired? Take a nap.”
“I’ll drive,” Audrey said to Ryan.
After closing the car door, Ryan took the keys from Audrey’s hand. “I’ll drive. You rest first. There are many things I need to ask you.”
“Mr. Lambert,” Audrey murmured as she glanced into the car. She saw Lily press her chubby face against the car window, as her eyes blinked. She looked at her now and then at Ryan. Audrey smiled at Lily and then turned to Ryan. “We’ll drop you off first.”
“Audrey, we need to talk. For the sake of the child.” Ryan’s breathing turned slightly heavier. He leaned closer to Audrey.
Audrey’s throat tightened. She nodded. “Okay.”
The car pulled out of the airport parking lot. Audrey glanced at Lily in her seat, who had fallen asleep

with her head cocked and her eyes closed. The child’s chubby cheeks were pressed against the seat. Her dark, dense eyelashes were long and curved.
Audrey turned back to Ryan, who was steering with one hand. Trying to break the silence, she said, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about the child back then. I only found out later that I didn’t lose both of our children.”
“Who’s taking care of our son overseas?” Ryan asked upon hearing that.
After a moment of thought, Audrey answered truthfully, “Our son is named Dallas, and Stephen is taking care of him. It was arranged by Mr. Lambert Senior. Mr. Lambert Senior has been taking Mrs. Lambert Senior to visit both children recently. Both the children really like them.”
Since Audrey had never told the two children about her relationship with George and Wanda, they also referred to George as Mr. Lambert Senior.
As for Wanda, both children called her Wandflower.
Perhaps due to their blood ties, Wanda really liked Lily and Dallas.
