    Chapter 125


    After hanging up the call, Ryan picked up Lily, who seemed small but felt heavy in his arms.


    “Are you lost, little one? Where are your parents?” Ryan asked.


    Lily hugged Ryan’s neck tightly. “My mommy went to the restroom! | saw you as soon as | looked up! Daddy, am | smart?


    Actually, mommy didn’t want me toe back with her. | insisted oning to find you, Daddy! Mommy said | don’t have a


    daddy. She’s lying. I’m no stone!”


    Lily was barely four years old, and she spoke without a clear point, jumping from one topic to another. Though her wordscked


    coherence, Ryan sensed that the child had never seen her father


    before.


    “Lily!”


    Hearing Audrey’s call, Lily turned to wave at Audrey while she was still clinging onto Ryan. “Mommy!


    Their eyes met.


    Ryan froze, and Audrey was equally stunned.


    Four years had passed, and Ryan seemed unchanged, yet somehow different.


    His cheeks were thinner, and his features were more deeply defined. There was a sharpness in him that wasn’t there four years


    ago.


    “Ms. Audrey?” Julian nced at Audrey, who had arrived breathlessly, and then at Ryan, who was holding Lily with a bright smile.


    His eyes widened.


    Before returning home, Audrey had thought about meeting Ryan. But she hadn''t expected it to happen so soon, and certainly not


    like this.


    Audrey hadn''t forgotten Ryan’s confession over the phone four years ago. Nor had she forgotten George’s hope that Ryan would


    marry one of the Shaw family’s daughters.


    Ryan’s fiancee was known as Cecilia to the outside world, and Audrey didn’t want to cause any trouble


    for Ryan.


    The cafe servant chased after Audrey with her suitcase and apologized. “I’m sorry, miss. The child ran out when | was delivering


    coffee to another table! I’m really sorry!”


    Audrey regained herposure and took the suitcase. She then approached Ryan with a smile. “Long time no see.”


    Ryan stared at Audrey, and the corner of his lips


    quirked up as well. “Long time indeed.”


    “Lily, let me hold you. Don’t trouble...” Audrey struggled with what to call Ryan.


    Putting aside Lily''s rtionship with Ryan, Audrey was actually considered Ryan’s junior ording

    to their external seniority.


    Shouldn''t Lily call Ryan grandpa then?


    But Audrey found it difficult to address him as that. “Don’t trouble Mr. Lambert!”


    Lily had always been a good child. Apart from stubbornly wanting to find her father, she was very


    obedient.


    Although she was upset after hearing Audrey say that, she obediently reached out her hands to Audrey, regardless.

    “I''ll hold her.” Ryan then turned to the gossipy-faced Lambert Company executives. “You can all ahead. I''ll join you shortly.”

    “Sir, should | have the driver wait?” Julian asked.


    Audrey smiled at Ryan. “It’s fine. We have a car waiting for us in the parking lot. You just came back as well, right? Take some


    rest. We''ll meet next time.”
