Lily Gray’s cheeks reddened slightly due to Emily Taylor’s playful teasing. She lowered her head, unable to resist stealing a glance at Aidan Lucas with the corner of her eye.
It was just a single glance, and their gazes met.
Looking at Aidan Lucas’s deep, dark pupils, Lily suddenly recalled that morning’s farewell kiss. Quickly averting her watery, peach blossom eyes, her cheeks reddened even more.
As someone who had been through it all, Emily could clearly see the subtle interactions between them.
Seeing her son and daughter-in-law this much in love, the corners of Emily’s mouth curled up in satisfaction.
“Alright, I’ve stayed long enough. I won’t bother you two anymore.” Emily decided not to keep on being a third wheel.
Hearing that her mother-in-law was about to leave, Lily immediately tried to persuade her, “Mom, it’s almost dinner time. Why don’t you stay and have dinner with us?”
“No, I have some things to take care of, so I’d better not stay.” Emily stood up, seeing Lily also wanting to stand and stopped her, “You’re pregnant now. It’s chilly outside, so stay indoors. Let Ethan take me out.”
Lily could not overrule Emily and sat down obediently.
When they got to the car, Emily turned back to look at the villa gate, making sure she couldn’t see Lily before sharing the previous incident with her son in a cold tone.
Aidan Lucas’s eyes were icy and indifferent, “In that case, we should have less contact with Aunt and the others.”
“You think I want to have anything to do with them?”
Emily rolled her eyes at her son, irritated, “I’m doing this for you. Although the Taylors are not as influential as the Lucas family, they’ve been developing very well under my elder brother’s management in recent years. It’s only with your uncle’s support that your position as the head of the Lucas family will be more secure. Ethan, your father is no longer reliable. If I don’t help you now, you’ll be on your own…”
“Mom, don’t worry about these matters.” Upon hearing her mention his father, Aidan Lucas’s originally cold eyes became even colder and darker.
“Uncle knows what’s right, and besides, I, Aidan Lucas am not a useless person who needs others’ assistance. No one can take what’s mine, not even if that person tries to snatch it personally.”
Neither Emily nor Aidan wanted to talk about that person. When she heard her son say this, she decided not to say anything further. Just as she was about to get into the car, she suddenly paused.
“Wait a moment.” She called out to Aidan Lucas, “I just remembered something. Has the girl from the Wellington family returned?”
Aidan Lucas’s eyes darkened, his obscure black pupils falling upon Emily’s face, “Yes.”
“Ethan…” Seeing Aidan Lucas’s reaction, Emily felt a sudden surge of uneasiness.
“Lily is now pregnant, you mustn’t upset her during this time. I know too much talking might annoy you, but 1 still need to remind you that you’re a married man now, do you understand?”
“Don’t worry, Mom, I get it.” Aidan Lucas nodded slowly, his cold mask hiding his true feelings.
Emily gave Aidan Lucas another look, realizing that talking further would be useless, so she temporarily stopped persuading him.
On the way back, Emily thought about a lot of things. Finally, she decided that when she had the time, she would meet with the girl from the Wellington family personally.
After sending Emily back to her room, Aidan Lucas saw Lily smiling, excitedly looking at some documents.
Unnoticed, he walked up to her side, and with a quick yank, took the documents.
“… Aidan Lucas, give it back!”
Seeing the Gray family’s shares documents suddenly disappear before her eyes, Lily almost jumped up to grab them.
“Sit down,” Aidan Lucas frowned, pressing Lily back onto the sofa..
