Chapter 128
Unlike Dallas, Lily wasn’t as reserved. The little girl was sweet–mouthed, talkative, and exceptionally adorable.
Every year, George would bring Wanda overseas to visit the two children. Whenever the children were around, Wanda’s smile would be more frequent than usual.
So later on, George often arranged for Stephen to take Lily and Dallas to live with him and Wanda in cities with pleasant climates for some time.
Although Lily didn’t know about Audrey’s relationship with George and Wanda, Dallas was sensitive enough to guess that they were family.
Feeling George and Wanda’s unconditional affection, the two children naturally grew fond of them.
But Audrey dared not appear in front of Wanda. Each time, she would only watch Wanda and Lily play from a distance with content.
Realization finally dawned on Ryan.
Over the years, Wanda’s mental state had fluctuated. George, following the advice of a psychologist, started letting Wanda care for some small animals. Later on, he often took Wanda abroad, claiming it was to unwind in favorable climates. It turned out that he was actually taking Wanda to meet his two
children.
Audrey gently tugged on the hem of her shirt. “Mr. Lambert Senior has always believed that the child. is Nathan’s, and I didn’t explain it either. Mr. Lambert Senior hasn’t been well these years, and I’m
worried he wouldn’t be able to handle knowing that the two children are yours.”
George held the Lambert family’s honor in high regard. Audrey had only sensed this after spending
more time with him.
Ryan subconsciously tightened his grip on the steering wheel. His lips were pressed together.
He could tell what Audrey said meant something else.
“Are you responding to my confession from four years ago, or do you want a divorce?” Ryan pierced through Audrey’s veiled words.
“Your fiancee is Ms. Cecilia. I’m concerned that our marital situation not being resolved quickly will affect you.”
This was also one of Audrey’s purposes for returning.
However, she hadn’t expected to meet Ryan with their child at the airport.
Exiting the highway, Ryan signaled and parked the car on the side of the road. He rested one hand on the steering wheel and turned to look at Audrey. “The engagement with the Shaw family was merely a verbal agreement between the elders. We didn’t even have an engagement ceremony. The reason I

didn’t deny this was simply to maintain a cooperative relationship with Cecilia!”
He calmly explained to Audrey. Then, he took off his glasses, cupped the back of Audrey’s head tenderly yet assertively, and pulled her toward him.
His cold, reserved features seemed to harbor aggressive and blunt attack.
Audrey’s heart raced suddenly. “Ryan!”
Ryan kissed her hard. Audrey tried to push him away but was held by the wrist. He parted her lips with his tongue and intensified the kiss.
Cars passed by their vehicle from time to time and headlights would flash through the car windows. Audrey stared at Ryan’s face and his gaze in the dim light, which seemed fiery and wild. His intense possessiveness bordered on devouring her.
The kiss overwhelmed her. It made her scalp tingle and her mind go blank.
It wasn’t until Audrey almost suffocated and her tongue ached that Ryan released her lips.
