The young boy, having been hit in the leg and his chest tinged with pain, did not walk quickly. He heard those words from behind, and a heavy trace of shame and anger quickly flashed through his eyes.
However, he didn't explode in anger.
All he did was clutch his fists tightly, and step by step, he continued to walk outward.
He swore before he came here, this would be his last plea. If it was futile, he would never step back into this place—
Lambert heard their conversation and merely hummed in response.
He guessed that the boy could indeed be his Eldest Uncle's illegitimate child. He initially felt indifferent about this, but recalling he had just hit the boy, Lambert's brow furrowed. Though ruthless and harsh, Lambert only sought revenge against those who threatened or hurt him.
As for this teenager.
He was the one who bumped into the boy after all; even if he tried to shrug it off, he couldn't help but feel a hint of guilt.
So, he called over a security guard, intending to send the boy to the hospital and give him some money for his trouble. However, before he could voice this plan, he saw his disobedient wife promptly come out. She caught up with the boy, seemingly wanting to check his condition.
Lambert's face suddenly darkened.
There was an element of worry in his eyes. He quickly walked over, tightening her scarf and wrapping her coat around her more securely before frowning and saying, "Don't you know you're pregnant? And you just come out like this?"
Ariana looked in surprise at the visibly upset Lambert, understanding that he was worried for her.
Hence, Ariana grinned and said, "Speaking of which, you're the one who wasn't careful. You hit someone with your car and didn't even apologize. Darling, if you get sued, I'm afraid I'll have to fish you out of the police station during the New Year."
Lambert: "…"
The young boy, stunned, stared at the conversation between the two unfolding before him while a hint of depression slowly filled his eyes.
Then, he lowered his head.
He was covered with a coat given by Ariana, Lambert's coat, and there was a card in his hand. Ariana had just given it to him, saying she accidentally bumped into him and was sorry, but they were a bit busy at the moment and might not be able to take him to the hospital. She gave him some money and suggested he go to the hospital to have it checked out and said she would arrange someone to take him there.
The boy was so stunned that he couldn't react to what she had said.
By the time he reacted, Lambert was already there.
Lambert had also noticed the coat the boy was wearing - his coat. His eyes instantly became heavy.
This coat was bought by Ariana.
Lambert was frustrated at this thought.
Noticing Lambert's discontent, Ariana whispered to him, "Don't be angry, I'm getting you a new one." Obviously, Ariana had become familiar with what would usually upset Lambert.
Lambert glanced at Ariana, and then merely grunted in response.
