Chapter 134
Lily had barely seen Ryan before she started clinging to him. She insisted on Ryan putting her to bed
at night.
Audrey sat on the couch while browsing through the news online.
Not only mainstream media but also social media were discussing the news of the domestic breakthrough in chip and lithography machine technology.
As she read, a smile unconsciously crept onto her lips.
Indeed, keeping control of technology in one’s own hands was crucial.
It was already past ten o’clock when Audrey pushed open the bedroom door and saw that Ryan was already asleep with Lily in his arms. She quietly covered them both with a blanket before slipping out
of the master bedroom.
The next morning, Audrey woke up to find Ryan had already gone to the office.
He left a note for Lily, saying they were to meet at Lambert Residence in the afternoon.
After finishing her morning exercise and catching up on international news, Audrey locked her phone screen and went to the master bedroom. She pulled back the curtains and leaned over to kiss Lily’s soft and warm face. Brushing aside Lily’s stray hair, Audrey whispered, “Lily, wake up. It’s time.”
The little one rubbed her eyes and sat up. She was not fully awake yet. Still, she reached out for a hug.
Audrey held Lily in her arms and felt the warmth of her little body against hers. Lily wrapped her arms around Audrey’s neck tightly and said in a sweet voice, “Good morning, Mommy.”

Audrey gently stroked Lily’s back. “Good morning! Time to get up, wash up, and have breakfast. We’re going to Lambert Residence today.”
Lily straightened her back and rubbed her eyes. “Will I meet Wandflower and Mr. Lambert Senior?”
The name Wandflower she mentioned was Audrey’s birth mother, Wanda.
Audrey unbuttoned Lily’s pajamas and whispered, “Yes, you will! But Lily, remember, besides me taking you to see Mr. Lambert Senior and Wandflower, you have to pretend you don’t know them if you see them outside, okay? Also, when you meet your dad later at Lambert Residence, don’t call him daddy.”
Lily nodded obediently. “I know. Daddy told me everything last night! Mr. Lambert Senior likes the both of you and he loves me and Dallas even more. But for some reason, Mr. Lambert Senior can’t allow both of you to be together. Until the two of you solve that reason, I have to keep the fact that I’m daddy’s child a secret so the both of you can solve that reason as soon as possible and avoid trouble!”
Audrey was surprised to find that while she was still worrying about how to explain things to Lily, Ryan had already taught Lily everything the previous night.

She pinched Lily’s cheek. “Right! Lily, you’re so smart!”
Lily’s chubby cheeks squished against Audrey’s arms. “Of course! You, Dallas, and daddy are all so amazing, so I can’t be any less! Since I’m so smart, can you give me back my phone watch?”
Audrey agreed with a laugh. “Okay! Let’s get up, wash up, and have breakfast now. Then you can help me pick a gift for Wandflower.”
Audrey hadn’t expected to meet Wanda so soon, and she felt a bit nervous. She didn’t know what kind of gift to prepare for her birth mother.
“I’ve brought the drawing Dallas and I did together for Wandflower and Mr. Lambert Senior!
Mommy, what are you going to give Wandflower?” Lily pondered as she sat obediently while allowing Audrey to dress her.
