Remarriage to a Rich Family

5 p.m. in hospital.

"Doctor Cheng, and all the pretty ladies, I'm off first." Wendy, the young nurse, smiled and waved goodbye to the group before turning around and bouncing in the direction of the elevator.

"Look at her face; she can not wait to get off work. She's still three minutes away."

"Can you not be anxious to have such a nice boyfriend downstairs at the right time?"

"A girl who is nourished by love is happy!"

The medical staff in the office talk and laugh as they turn in their shifts, and Cheng Lydia smiles as she writes the last line of her medical log and closes the book.

Girls who are nourished by love are indeed the happiest.

"Lydia, are you coming to dinner with us and then to Karaoke to sing?" Doctor Song asked casually.

In fact, everyone knows that Cheng Lydia doesn't have the time because she either has to go to another section department to take care of her vegetative mother or go home to her husband after work every day.

Sure enough, Cheng Lydia shook her head with a smile and said, "You guys have fun."

"Huh? Isn't that Lydia's BMW?" Ann, standing next to the windowsill, suddenly called out, and her co-workers swarmed over, sticking their necks out and grinning, "Really yeah, Lydias family's car."

"Ugh, another happy woman who been nourished away by love." Doctor Song sighed with an ambiguous face.

Cheng Lydia looked down at the window in surprise and saw her husband Lim Toby's car parked downstairs, a sweet smile tinting her pretty face. She quickly folds back into her seat and gathers her things, leaving the office to the admiring glances of her colleagues.

Lim Toby rarely picked her up from work at the hospital, so she was almost in disbelief when she just heard from her colleagues that Lim Tobys BMW was downstairs.

Lim Tobys BMW was parked in front of the inpatient building, and Cheng Lydia cheerfully went up and pulled open the passenger door and got in, looking sideways at Lim Toby, "Why are you free to pick me up from work today?"

"It's our third wedding anniversary, so I'm treating you to seafood." Lim Toby quirked his head and glanced at her, a slightly stiff smile on his handsome face.

Third wedding anniversary, yeah heh, shed forgotten about it if he didn't tell her.

She didn't think he would remember their anniversary when he was always indifferent to himself. Was that a good start?

Cheng Lydia was suddenly confident about the days ahead.

The car drove away from the downtown area in the direction of Big Bay, and just as Cheng Lydia imagined a bright future, the car turned right less than a kilometer from Big Bay and drove down another side road.

She surveyed her surroundings and was about to ask a question when Lim Toby slammed on the brakes and braked the car to a stop in front of a dilapidated factory building, unbuckled his seat belt, and got out.

Cheng Lydia hesitated and didn't follow along down the line.

The place was so run-down and sparsely populated that just looking at it can be unsettling.

And just then, a woman's terrified scream came from above her head, "Toby, you have to come to help me, help me ...... I'm so scared ......."

Cheng Lydia looked up at the sound of the voice and saw a man and a woman standing in front of a crumbling wall on the second floor and the woman was beautiful and slender.

The man, tall and thin with a hostile face, was currently circling the woman's neck with one arm and holding a sharp fruit knife in one hand. The blade was pressed against the woman's slender neck and looked like it could be dangerous at any moment.

"Toby ......." The woman was crying and trembling with makeup on her face, making it painful to watch.

Cheng Lydia had seen this Feng Ann woman before, and more than once, back when she was first married, and Lim Toby was openly seen with her, his real wife.

In those three years, Feng Ann never withdrew from Lim Toby's life.

She just didn't understand what was going on today. Has her mistress been kidnapped? Her husband brought her here to plead with the kidnappers?

What could she, a weak woman, do to help?

Lim Toby spoke up, "As I said, Ann is pregnant, and you better not touch her."

Pregnant with ......!

Lydia's mind went boom and went blank.

Feng Ann was pregnant with her husband's child?

"I also said that if you want her safe, either take five million now or bring your wife over in an exchange." The man upstairs threw out violently.

Lydias brain was still in a cloud when the car door at her side was suddenly opened, followed by her body being ripped out of the car; Lim Toby took her in the crook of his arm, his mouth between her ears, his words coming out strong and cold, "Ann is pregnant, and that's something you cant do. If you still want to continue to be The Lim Family's young grandmother and get a penny from me, then get up from here and replace Ann immediately."

Lim Toby's arm waved and pointed to an equally dilapidated staircase.

Lydia stared at him in awe, clearly unable to believe what she had just heard.

This man named Lim Toby, her husband, since he told her to go and replace the mistress upstairs?

Her heart, instantly, chilled through.

Tears instantly curdled her eyes.

She knew that Lim Toby didn't love her, was even bored with her, but she was his real wife, wasn't she? How could he be so heartless?

"Go on!" His eager urging rang in his ears.

How worried is he about his woman?

Thinking of her mother in the hospital bed, Lydia tilted her face up and blinked her eyes, forcing the tears hardback into them. Then stepping away, she carefully made her way to the staircase that led to the second floor.

The man upstairs obviously didn't expect Lim Toby to actually trade his wife for his mistress and was stunned, speechless. He looked at Lydia a few meters away, and then at Feng Ann in his arms, and finally, let Feng Ann go.

Lydia was held hostage by the man and was afraid to move.

In my ears was the man's violent shout, "Lim! I only give you one night; if you don't bring five million before dawn, wait until you collect the corpse of your wife ......."

Responding to him was the sound of the BMWs engine as it sped away.

Looking in the direction of the car's departure, Lydia laughed in despair.

Five million is a small amount of money that The Lim Family could quickly come up with, but Lim Toby would rather trade her safety for Feng Ann's removal.

"What are you laughing at?" As if realizing he had done something wrong, the kidnapper threw Lydia to the ground with an irritated hand.

Lydia sulked up from the floor and sat on the dusty floor, looking askance at him, "I'm laughing at you for being so stupid."

"What do you mean?" The kidnapper crossed his eyes.

"Can't you see that Lim Toby doesn't care if I die so that he can rightfully welcome Feng Ann into his home and live happily ever after as a family of three?"

"You ......." The kidnapper knotted in exasperation as he leaned down and grabbed her by the shirt, roughly lifting her off the ground.

Lydia still sneered, "He won't send the money, and if he had any conscience left, he calls the police immediately and have them come to my rescue. As for whether you kill me or let me go, he doesn't care."

"I'll kill you now!" The kidnapper raised his knife.

"Then you won't get anything." Lydia stared at him stubbornly, "If you kill me, the police will be all over town, and then not only will you get no money, but the law will make you pay for my life, which is not a good deal at all. Why don't I pay you 200,000, and you let me go, just as if I'm buying myself a life."

"Two hundred thousand? You wish!"

"That's all my cheap life is worth, so if you won't, then kill me."

The kidnapper started at a subdued Lydia, a little shaken in his mind.

He did see the way Lim Toby treated Lydia just now and didn't even say a word of confession when he took Feng Ann away, without any regard for Lydia.

Just at that moment, a siren suddenly sounded from far away outside.

With a low curse, the kidnapper dropped Lydia and turned to flee.

He ran a few steps, turned back, and pointed his index finger at Lydia: "Two hundred thousand, mark my words."

Once the kidnappers were gone, Lydia, who had been playing it cool, suddenly sat down on the cold ground with her legs weak.

Lydia was taken back downtown by the police and spent over an hour in the station giving a statement before finally regaining her freedom.

It was almost nine o'clock, and she felt cold and hungry after not eating dinner.

The Lim Family villa was already lit up, and from a distance, my sister-in-law Lim Edith could be heard saying in a disgusted voice, "Mum, as you can see, Cheng Lydia is simply a hen who can't lay eggs, so why don't you let your brother divorce her yet."

"Lydia is young; give her a little more time." It was Mrs. Lim's voice.

"It's been three years."

"Shh. ......." Mrs.Lim saw Lydia walk in and was busy making a silent gesture at Lim Edith.

Lydia, long accustomed to such chatter, struggled to muster a polite smile to greet the duo on the couch, "Mom, Edith, I'm home."

Lim Edith looked at her askance and coldly looked away.

Mrs. Lim then surveyed Lydia's pale little face and asked with a concerned look on her face, "Lydia, what's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?"

At this moment, Lydia not only looked bad but also her clothes were dirty and wrinkled. She just wanted to go back to her room to take a hot bath and change into clean clothes.

"I'm just a bit tired, Mom, so I'll go up and rest." She bowed her head and headed in the direction of the second floor.

The not-so-long spiral staircase was so hard, so slow for the first time as if she would never reach the end.

Even at the end of the line, it was empty and lonely, not something she wanted.

The large, luxurious, and sophisticated house did nothing to warm Lydia's cold heart.

Lim Toby didn't come back as usual. Presumably, this would be preoccupied with calming his little lover.

She stripped off all her dirty clothes and sank her body into the hot water-filled tub, closing her eyes as everything that had just happened came back to her mind like a rewinding movie.

Lim Toby says Feng Ann is pregnant, something she can't do, and her sister-in-law says she's a hen who can't lay eggs. She also wants to get pregnant and have a child for Lim Toby to make a complete family, but has Lim Toby ever given her a chance?

After three years of marriage, she was still a virgin. How could she talk to anyone about such a humiliating thing?

Lim Toby had kept countless women on the outside, and had never even looked at her, his real wife, in the eye, much less touched her body, so how could she get pregnant?

On the night before her wedding, Lim Toby's words of love and affection had become part of her dream.

She stood up from the tub, her body reflected in the mirror across the room, white and delicate skin, slim and evenly toned, with breasts that counted as full. Each of these was still exquisite, so why did she fail to attract her husband's interest?

How deep was Lim Tobys dislike for her? And where did it come from?

Lim Toby returned the next morning, and when he saw Lydia, a hint of surprise crossed his face, with only a question, "Are you okay?"

Lydia nodded, "Okay."

Was he surprised to see his wife at home as a husband?

Did Master Lim think it's amazing that the kidnappers didn't kill her?

At the breakfast table, Mrs. Lim looked askance at her son and chided, "Lim Toby, did you stay out all night again last night?"

Lim Toby doesn't answer, keeping his head down and nibbling on his sandwich.

Lim Edith took a sip of milk and looked at Lydia, who was eating her breakfast without a word, and sneered, "I'd stay out late in the morning with such a good wife."

"Lim Edith, you shut up!" Mrs.Lim scolded her lowly, glaring at her.

Lim Edith scowled and ducked her head to eat.

"I'm full, and you guys take your time." Lim Toby threw down his knife and fork and got up to leave his seat.

"Mom, I'm full too." Lydia followed up and stood up.

Mrs. Lim looked at the half-eaten slices of bread on her plate and frowned, "Why are you eating so little, will you be well?"

"How can you carry a baby if you're not healthy enough?" Lim Edith added.

Lydia didn't mind, smiling at the pair and turning away from her seat, heading for the second-floor bedroom.

Lim Toby was changing in his bedroom, and when he saw her enter, he said in a nonchalant tone, "I hope you don't mind about Ann's pregnancy."

Lydia laughed bitterly. That woman was carrying her husband's child, how could she not mind?

Lim Toby sat down on the couch, lit a cigarette, and smoked it.

Lydia sat down across from him, stared at him, and said, "Can I borrow some money?"

"How much?"

"Two hundred thousand."

"Cheng Lydia! Are you a vampire!" With a thud, Lim Toby threw a hard slap at her face. Lydia was not expecting it and hit her head on the corner of the coffee table, and her eyes closed in pain as blood fell down the corners of her eyes.

The pain that eats away at your bones is no match for the hurt in your heart.

She pulled a handful of tissues from the tissue box to cover the wound, still gazing at him, "Or thirty thousand will do."

"No! Not a single point!" Lim Toby stood up from the couch, leaned down excitedly, grabbed her by the shirt on her chest, ripped her up from the couch, and glared at her from close range.

"Lydia, what else do you do all day long but ask for money? Early in the morning, you don't even ask how Ann and the baby are doing, but when you open your mouth, all you do is ask for money?"

Lydia was shaking him so hard that the palm covering the corner of her eye slipped, and blood began to seep out of her skin again.

Does he accuse her of not caring enough to ask about Feng Ann and the baby in her belly?

Should she have cared? Should she have rushed up to him with a distraught face when she saw him early in the morning and asked him how Ann was doing? Had she been overly shocked by what happened last night? Should she go and calm Feng Ann down sometime?

But she was the one who was almost killed by the kidnappers!

"You want 200,000. Fine, sign the divorce papers, and I'll give it to you right away!" Lim Toby tightened his grip on her shirt and gritted his teeth, "To sign or not to sign?"

"I won't sign it." Lydia shook her head, not even thinking about it.

The shirt on his chest loosened, and he let go of her.

"Then don't ask me for any more money!" Shrugging that off, Lim Toby turned and walked quickly out of the bedroom.

It was an early shift today, and Cheng Lydia arrived at the hospital early to work after casually treating her wound.

Her co-workers were surprised to see the cuts on her face and asked her what was wrong.

She laughed and said she had accidentally bumped into it.

Her co-workers heckled her again and asked if she had a good time and where she had gone for romance with her husband last night.

Lydia was still smiling, a grin that stiffened her cheeks.

She never told her co-workers about her and Lim Toby, but they assumed that she and Lim Toby were in love and in love with each other.

How did they know that just yesterday, on her and Lim Toby's third wedding anniversary, how viciously Lim Toby sent her into the jaws of a tiger and nearly cost her her life?

"Oh, by the way, Lydia, the patient in room 603, bed 2, has named you to treat him, so go over there." Doctor Song suddenly remembered this and said to Lydia.

Lydia nodded and grabbed her chart, and headed for room 603.

When she walked into ward 603 and saw Feng Ann leaning against bed two playing on her cell phone, she was stunned and surveyed her in surprise.

What was this woman doing here?

What good could come from coming here and naming her for treatment?

Lydia took a light breath, mentally preparing herself for the battle, stepped forward to gaze at her, and asked in as polite a tone as she could muster, "Excuse me, miss, where are you not feeling well?"

Feng Ann looked up and saw her, smiled brightly before laying her body flat on the bed and pointing to her abdomen, "Doctor Cheng, I'm probably feeling very uncomfortable because I was in shock last night; please take a look at me."

"I'm sorry, this is Internal Medicine; the OB/GYN department is on the fifth floor." Lydia looked serious and earnest.

"Oh, I could also be suffering from cholecystitis, anyway. It's just an upset stomach, so check it out for me first, and I'll go to the gynecologist when I'm sure it's not cholecystitis."

"Pull up your shirt and let me see." Lydia took a step forward.

Feng Ann dutifully pulled her shirt up, and Lydia leaned over and pressed her fingers against her upper abdomen, asking, "Does it hurt here?"

"No."

"And here?"

"It doesn't seem like it." Feng Ann gazed at her with a smile and said, "You said how women are so troublesome to get pregnant? You cant even eat, you can't even sleep, and you're always throwing up. Can you understand this feeling? Alas, you've never been pregnant; you definitely won't be able to experience it."

Lydia's hand wandering over her stomach paused, resisting the urge to press down harder.

Just inside this belly, there was her husband's flesh and bone growing little by little, a treat she, as a wife, could never have, and it was no wonder the woman came here so smugly to show off to her.

"By the way, when are you planning to have a child? Gotta hurry up, or you'll be even less likely to conceive when you get older." Feng Ann continued to speak as she observed her reaction.

"This young lady, please follow me to the consulting room for a moment." Lydia still had a serious look on her face.

"What for?" Feng Ann looked wary.

Lydia turned and left the room first, and in a moment, brought in a stack of sheets handing them to her one by one, "This is the ultrasound test payment form, this is the CT test, this is the blood test, this is the white belt test, and this is ......."

A dozen in all, all in Feng Ann's hands, "Go on, give me the results sheet when you are done with the test."

Feng Ann stared indignantly at the dozen sheets, knowing that Lydia had done it on purpose!

But instead of showing her anger, she deliberately looked sad, "So much, doesn't that cost a lot of money?"

Said quickly and smiled again, "But that's okay. It's Toby's card that's being swiped anyway."

Cheng Lydia quietly clenched both fists and had to admit that she was really pissed off at this woman!

All-day long, Lydia was in a depressed state.

At the end of her shift, she received a text message from an unfamiliar number: When will the 200,000 be paid?

Lydia bit her lip and returned; please give me a little more time.

After sending it, she turned off her phone in annoyance.

Two hundred thousand. Where could she get the money? She still owed 30,000 for her mother's medical bills.

Bored out of her mind, she volunteered to participate in her colleague's Karaoke party.

In the pandemonium of the KTV room, she let herself and her colleagues lose in a rare moment to yell the loudest songs, drink the strongest drinks and laugh like a heartless child.

Alcohol can numb a person's mood, but it can't really take away a person's sadness.

Lydia is drunk and staggers back to The Lim Family mansion.

It was late, and Mrs. Lim and Lim Edith had gone to bed, and the first-floor hall was empty. Lydia slumped on the stairs with a fit of dry heaving, but nothing came out because she hadn't eaten anything at all during the day.

The bedroom was dark and empty, as it usually was every day when she returned.

She stood by the door and turned on her heel to head for the adjacent study.

Lim Toby comes back once in a while, and when he does, he only sleeps in the den.

Lim Toby was about to go to bed when Lydia walked in, and at the sight of her, flushed and unsteady on her feet, Lim Toby paused in his palm of lifting the covers and looked askance at her with a sullen and jaded look, and a tone of extreme displeasure, "What are you doing here?"

"I came to see you." Lydia smiled brightly and stepped in, carrying a whiff of alcohol.

"You've been drinking?" Lim Toby frowned, sizing her up unpleasantly.

"Had a few drinks with my colleagues."

"Did I ever tell you no drinking or staying out late?"

"Toby, I just had a couple of extra drinks because I was bad." Lydia took his hand, tilted her little face slightly to gaze at him steadily, and said in an almost pleading tone, "Toby, will you look at me properly, just once."

She let go of him and put her hands on the buttons of her dress instead, unbuttoning them one by one, revealing bit by bit her white, delicate skin.

She had never shown her body to any man, not even her own husband, and if she hadn't been drinking tonight, she certainly wouldn't have had the guts.

Lim Toby really hadn't seen her properly, had avoided her and everything about her from the start. So at the sight of her beautiful body, Lim instantly awakened the most primal desire in his body. He pinned her down on the bed.

No man in his right mind could resist this green but sweet temptation!

He kissed her face, her neck ...... hot and frantic.

Lydia fought back the pain, pressed about the tears, took his handsome face in her hands, and gazed at him with affection, "Toby, I can have a baby for you too if you want ......"

The softly spoken words poured down on Lim Toby's head like a basin of cold water, instantly sobering him up.

"Bitch!" He tumbled off her with a vacant thud and kicked her off the bottom of the bed.

Lydia let out a low whistle, mostly awake from her drink.

Lim Toby was not relieved by the kick; he chased her under the bed, pulled her arm upwards, forced her to look at him at close range, and scolded her through gritted teeth, "Cheng Lydia! Do you think that if you give birth to my child, you will be able to stay in this family as my wife without any worries? Do you think I'll fall for your trick? Get dressed and get out of here right now!"

He pushed hard, and Lydia fell to the ground again.

This time, she was indeed awake.

Yeah, I'm not thinking too simplistically myself.

He has plenty of women to have children for him, no need for her, a woman who can't do anything but ask for money!

Lydia's dignity, which she held firm, shattered to pieces.

Lydia suddenly felt that she was actually no different from his mistresses, using all means for the status of Lin's young grandmother, even going so far as to sell her body and soul.

Cheng Lydia blushingly pulled her clothes back on her body, got up, and took a step out of his study.

Feng Ann steps into The Lim Family mansion with her pregnant belly.

It was Cheng Lydia's day off, and because of her drunkenness, she slept until 10 a.m., waking up to the sound of laughter downstairs.

She washed and changed and came out of the bedroom and downstairs when she heard Lim Edith's cheeky laugh from a distance, "Mom, do you think my sister-in-law is carrying a son or a daughter? I bet it's a big fat boy."

Sister-in-law. Who sister-in-law is Lim Edith calling?

Lydia quickened her pace down the stairs and then she saw Feng Ann on the first-floor living room couch sitting at the side of Lim Toby.

Apparently, the sister-in-law that Lim Edith was calling was not Lydia, but Feng Ann.

Lydia's legs were frozen on the spinning ladder unable to move.

Being a mistress is so rampant that it's considered the best on earth.

"Lydia, come here." Mrs. Lim suddenly called out at this side of the spiral staircase.

Lydia was stunned for a moment and took a step to sit down beside Mrs. Lim, her mind on edge.

Mrs. Lim took her hand and stared at Feng Ann and spoke a word for word, "Miss Feng, you said you are pregnant, can anyone prove that the baby is Tobys?

A vain woman like you must have been with more than one man, right? Even if the baby is Tobys, then don't expect to marry into The Lim Family because The Lim Family has Lydia as their daughter-in-law.

If you are confident that the child is Tobys, then give birth to the child without fear, The Lim Family will not treat you badly, and will give you everything except the position of The Lim Family's young grandmother."

Mrs. Lim's words were nothing but a reassuring pill and Lydia was slightly more at ease.

"Mom, I can be sure the baby is mine." Lim Toby resented.

Feng Ann choked with tears, "Auntie, Toby and I are truly in love, I have no other man but him, I swear."

"Is it okay to destroy someone's family just because you truly love them?"

"But I'm pregnant."

"The Lim Family doesn't need to rely on a bitch to carry on the family yet, and don't you dare threaten me with pregnancy."

"Bitch?" Lim Toby snorted, his mocking gaze running over Lydia, "When it comes to debauchery, I'm afraid there's only no one like the apparently dignified and refined Miss Cheng."

Lydia's face was instantly scarlet.

She knew that Lim Toby was referring to her own attempt to seduce him last night.

I was so drunk last night that I did something so bold, and now I regret it when I think about it.

"Mom, haven't you always wanted to hold a grandchild? Why are you kicking my sister-in-law out?" Lim Edith wondered.

"Edith, Lydia is your sister-in-law." Mrs.Lim suddenly stood up from the sofa, "Miss Feng, I have made it very clear, the child is born The Lim Family will not treat you badly, but stop daydreaming about marrying into The Lim Family, now get the hell out of The Lim Family right now."

After saying this, Mrs. Lim went upstairs.

The four young men on the couch were left wide-eyed, and Lim Edith looked askance at Lydia and said coldly, "Don't think you can stay here forever just because you have Mom to back you up, if you can't have children, sooner or later you'll be thrown out, just wait and see."

This Lydia admitted it, and that's why Lim Toby never gave her a chance to get pregnant.

Feng Ann snuggled aggressively in Lim Toby's arms, her eyes in tears.

Lim Toby stroked her hair and soothed her softly, "Don't worry, you will be my wife anyway."

As he said this, he glanced coldly in Lydia's direction.

"Ann, don't be sad, I'll definitely help you convince my mom." Lim Edith patted Feng Ann's shoulder and promised with a confident face.

Feng Ann wiped a handful of tears from her face and looked at her accusingly, "But Auntie has made it very clear that she only recognizes Lydia."

"She recognizes Lydia because she thinks she's well-behaved and obedient, will she still like her if she learns that it turns out Lydia isn't as good as she thought she was?"

"What do you mean?"

"My mother hates women who destroy other people's families." Lim Edith smiled slyly, a devious look in her eyes.

"But Cheng Lydia rarely has contact with other men."

"That's up to you." Lim Edith smiled again, "You can't be unable to do even that little thing, can you? How else are you going to marry my brother then?"

Feng Ann thought with her mouth half-open, and seemed to get it somewhat.

"I see, thanks." She said gratefully.

"You don't have to thank me since my brother asked me to help get rid of Cheng Lydia, I'll do my best to help. When the time comes, if you need any help, just call me."

"OK."

Lydia was reading a book on the terrace of her bedroom, the golden sunlight spilling over her, warm and soft.

It would have been a very nice and pleasant afternoon if it hadn't been on my mind.

The thin paper turned page by page through her fingers, and while she struggled to keep her eyes open, the writing on the book remained blurry.

Closing her book, she was about to get up when a sudden, steady footstep sounded behind her, leaning closer and closer, finally coming to a standstill less than a meter away from her.

Without looking back, she spoke blandly, "Master Lim if you are here to talk to me about divorce, then spare me the trouble and save us wasting each other's time."

"Cheng Lydia!" gritted Lim Toby as he knotted in anger and stepped forward to choke her jaw and lift it upward, forcing her to meet his eyes, "What the hell do you want?"

"Anything but divorce." She smiled stubbornly.

"You're a psycho! Crazy woman!" Lim Toby shook her off harshly, "You think you're going to die in The Lim Family just because you're like this? Do you want to spend time, don't you? Fine, I have plenty of time to spend with you, lets's see who will lose it first."

"Don't worry, I'm never going to divorce you."

"We'll see about that!" Lim Toby tossed that off and turned to leave her bedroom in a huff.

Expecting not to see Lim Toby again for a long time, I was surprised to see his car waiting on the side of the road as soon as I got off work the next day.

Cheng Lydia didn't think Lim Toby's arrival would be a good thing, but she walked up after a moment's hesitation and pulled open the door to sit in the passenger seat, her mocking gaze running over the side of his handsome face, "I wonder what Master Lim is trying to surprise me with this time?"

Lim Toby twisted his head to glance at her, his voice still friendly, "Mom bought the movie tickets and insisted I take you to the movie."

So that's it!

This kind of thing Mrs.Lim does all the time.

In order to ease their relationship, Mrs. Lim creates some opportunities for the two of them to be alone from time to time, only that most of the time Lim Toby is unconcerned, not expecting to obey today instead.

Was it for Feng Ann's sake that he is purposely pleasing his mother? Anyway, Cheng Lydia still decided to accept Mrs. Lim's arrangement. Because it was also her dream to develop a relationship with Lim Toby.

To her surprise, not only did Lim Toby watch the movie with her, but he also bought her a late dinner and had the pleasure of having a drink with her.

The beer crossed her throat, cool and soothing, and Lydia soon felt a little tipsy.

In her daze, Lydia speculated fondly in her mind, was this a silent apology from Lim Toby to her for yesterday? If so, she had forgiven him, really forgiven him.

It's just a shame that she can guess the beginning every time, but never the end ......
