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 wantto cback with her. I insisted on coming to find you, Daddy!
Mommy said | don’t have a daddy. She's lying. I'm no stone!”

Shouldn't Lily call Ryan grandpa then?
But Audrey found it difficult to address him as that. “Don’t trouble Mr. Lambert!”

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 I 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 cback as well,
right? Take srest. We'll meet next time.”
