Chapter 130
Audrey’s breath quickened. She responded softly, “Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, a smile couldn’t help but creep onto her face as she came in from the balcony. Her tone still carried the remnants of nervousness from her conversation with George as she said with a smile, “Mr. Lambert Senior said I could have dinner with him tomorrow.”
Audrey had just finished speaking when Ryan’s phone rang.
He answered it. It was a call from Lambert Residence, and Paige informed him that George wanted him to come back the next day for dinner.
“Okay. I got it. I’ll be back on time tomorrow.” After hanging up the call, Ryan gestured for Audrey to sit down. “I’ll be going back to the Lambert residence for dinner tomorrow too!”
Audrey paused. She walked over slowly. “I’ll remind Lily not to address you improperly.”
“And what do you plan to have my child call me?” Ryan countered.
“I’ll have her call you Mr. Lambert, is that okay?”
Audrey regretted after saying that and bit her lip.
All these years, Audrey could face everyone with ease, except for Ryan.
Perhaps it was because she had two children with Ryan after being drugged and she always felt guilty.
Especially having the child call him Mr. Lambert.
“That’s fine!”
Audrey didn’t expect Ryan to agree so readily.
“Thank you,” Audrey said gratefully.
Ryan walked up to Audrey and leaned against the back of the sofa. When Audrey tried to move back, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer. He caressed her delicate wrist.
His deep gaze met Audrey’s eyes. “I know you haven’t figured out how to handle the relationship between us yet. I know your conditions for returning to the Lambert family. You go to Sheysea City first and take care of your business. As for the Lambert family, I’ll announce my departure from them after Lambert Corporation stabilizes.”
Audrey widened her eyes. “Don’t!”
Ryan said calmly, “I’ve always been wanted to do this for many years, but because Mr. Lambert Senior didn’t relent and let you return to the Lambert family, it didn’t happen. It’s not a good thing to say, but I had originally planned to bring you back to the Lambert family after Mr. Lambert Senior passed away. Now that he’s accepted you back, I should separate from the Lambert family. However, Lambert Corporation has been coordinating with domestic semiconductor companies for the past

four years. The company had just managed to overcome lithography and chip technology. I can’t leave Lambert Corporationf just yet.

Audrey grabbed Ryan’s arm and said in an urgent tone, “Of course you can’t leave Lambert Corporation! Although the domestic sector has just overcome lithography and chip technology, this is just the beginning, and we can’t rule out the possibility that Meplaria will bring chips into our country. The influence of Lambert Corporation is crucial for you. You should use the current resources of the company and the government to expand chip production capacity as soon as possible and prevent Meplaria from smuggling chips into our country to make money. Secondly, you need to upgrade domestic lithography and chip technology within six months to a year before Meplaria reacts, so that we can break through Meplaria’s semiconductor blockade strategy. You can’t leave if you want to accomplish these tasks!”
Ryan gently pulled Audrey toward him.
“Have you been concerned about Lambert Corporation and me in these years?” he asked.
Audrey remained silent.
“Audrey, you still have feelings for me,” Ryan said with conviction.
Lily woke up inside the bedroom. She rubbed her eyes, and didn’t see Audrey in bed. Thus, she climbed down and tiptoed to open the bedroom door.
