Chapter 632 Caring And Doting
Nicole thought Allie hade to see her, and she felt a surge of joy in her heart the moment she saw
Allie.
She opened the door and warmly weed Allie inside. “What has brought you here, Mrs. Moore?”
Allie used to have a favorable impression of Nicole. After all, Nicole was a sweet talker and always
brought various luxury goods for Allie when she visited her. However, since the scandal of Nicole
allegedly seducing Felix broke, Allie had distanced herself from Nicole and even found her repulsive.
After such a scandal, Allie believed that Nicole was no longer worthy of her son.
Facing Nicole''s excessive enthusiasm, Allie stepped inside and put on a fake smile. “Nicole, where''s
your mom? Is she at home?”
Nicole answered truthfully, “My mom hurt her neck and is resting in the room. What brings you here,
Mrs. Moore?”
She knew that Allie and her mother didn''t have a good rtionship and hadn''t been in contact for many
years. Why is she looking for Mom at this time?
If Allie hade to visit her mother, she should have brought something, but she appeared to be
empty-handed.
It was Allie''s first time visiting the Lambert residence, and she couldn''t help but look around the ce.
The Lambert residence''s interior was luxurious but not ostentatious.
The house was filled with exquisite crystal chandeliers, Western Epea-style carpet from the eighteenth
century, delicate sculptures, and romantic flower arrangements; even the white piano in the corner
seemed to be of great value.
The decorations showed a clear sense of ire''s taste.
There were several ancient inkndscape paintings and portraits of women on the walls, and Allie
could tell they were ire''s creations just by looking at the familiar brushwork.
Shortly afterward, Allie pursed her lips and withdrew her scrutinizing gaze.
ire really enjoyed putting on a sophisticated persona and acting cultured.
Allie believed that women should only concentrate on beauty and skincare. Writing and painting were
insignificant inparison.
Allie''s inner thoughts were unknown to Nicole. She personally fetched a pair of brand-new slippers for
Allie and handed them to her, saying, “Mrs. Moore, these slippers were just purchased by the
housekeeper. Please put them on.”
The offer interrupted Allie''s train of thought.
Allie recalled Nicole''s earlier mention of ire''s neck injury. She stopped putting on the slippers and
looked up at Nicole, asking, “What happened to your mother? How did she get hurt?”
Nicole briefly recounted the scene at the fashion expo to Allie.
Allie''s eyes shed with a mix of emotions as she clicked her tongue, possibly gloating at ire''s
misfortunes.

After putting on the slippers, Allie followed Nicole to ire''s bedroom on the second floor.
Nicole lightly knocked on the door and politely asked, “Dad, Mrs. Moore is here to visit Mom. Can we
come in now?”
“Come in,” William said calmly and firmly from inside the room.
Hearing that familiar yet foreign voice caused Allie''s heartbeat to briefly quicken.
The door opened, revealing William''s stern and imposing face.
Allie''s heart began to beat faster the moment she saw William.
Despite the unrelenting march of time, the man, who was almost fifty, maintained a handsome
appearance and radiated a dignified aura. His thin, tightly pressed lips and deep eyes added to his
commanding and imposing presence. He was the man that all women, including her, admired when
she was younger.
Time seemed to have left no trace on William''s face or body.
If there was a change, it was that he got even more charming after years in politics.
William only nodded slightly at Allie, without saying much, and returned to ire''s side.
It was ire who reacted first to Allie''s presence and called her out, sounding quite surprised. “Allie,
why are you here?”
Jealousy red in Allie''s heart as she witnessed William caringly and dotingly holding ire''s hand and
thought back to how coldly Bruce had treated her.
She took a deep breath and moved slowly to the edge of ire''s bed. She pretended to be concerned
when she saw the bandage wrapped around ire''s neck and said, “I heard about your neck injury, so
I came to visit you. ire, how could you be so careless and hurt yourself while shopping? You should
bring bodyguards with you when you go out in the future.”
ire was momentarily stunned. She hardly ever heard Allie speak in such a tone after having severed
ties with her for so many years. She appeared to have traveled back in time to when Allie used to
follow her around and give her advice like that when they were younger.
She looked at Allie and replied, “I''m fine. It''s just a minor external injury, nothing serious.”
Remembering her reason for visiting that day, Allie clenched the bag she was carrying.
After a brief moment of hesitation, she made up her mind and piped up, “ire, I came here today to
talk to you privately about something. Mr. Lambert, could you please give us some time alone? It will
not take long.”
William nced at Allie, and a hint of surprise flickered across his eyes. However, when he saw ire
nodding at him, he regained hisposure and uttered gently, “I will be in the living room downstairs. If
you need anything, just call me.”
“Okay.” ire nodded.
Meanwhile, Nicole felt uneasy for some reason. She had a bad feeling about Allie''s visit.
She was about to say she wanted to stay with her mother when ire said, “Nicole, go downstairs with
your father first. I purchased some coffee beans and stored them in the study''s cab. Please help
your father make coffee.”
“All right, Mom.” Although she was unwilling, Nicole still obeyed her mother''s orders and reluctantly left.
In the bedroom, only ire and Allie remained.
When ire noticed Allie hesitating to speak, she went straight to the point. “Allie, I do not think you
came here just to visit me. Considering our current rtionship, you would not bother doing it. Am I
right?”
Even though ire appeared frail and pale, her kind and perceptive eyes were fixed directly on Allie,
giving thetter the impression that she was being seen through.
Allie didn''t beat around the bush and said bluntly, “You''re right. You are well aware of how tense things
are between us. To be honest, I would rather go shopping or to a spa with some friends than visit you.
ire, did you ask your husband to meddle in my son''s business and cause hispany''s projects to
be dyed, leading to a broken funding chain?”
ire made no denials. “Yes. Will and I did it.”
Allie snorted and sat on the chair by ire''s window, probing cunningly. “What if I tell you where your
biological daughter is? Can you ask Mr. Lambert to stop?”
