Chapter 34 - 37 Marry me, I will give you everything you want
Wiping the tear stains off her face, she put her black-framed glasses back on.
Her mystifying peach blossom eyes were hidden, and she regained her initial aloof demeanor.
Once her emotions had settled, Lily Gray took a deep breath and raised her gaze. “Mr. Cooper, I’m ready now. What did you want to talk about?”
She was still held in his embrace, seemingly intimate.
But once her tears had dried and reason returned, she armored herself with an indifferent mask again.
Aidan Lucas was not bothered, neither did he appreciate personal feelings affecting judgment during serious conversations.
His gaze darkened slightly, he looked at her delicate face and spoke softly, “There’s a question I’d like to ask you… Do you want revenge?”
Lily Gray was taken aback, doubting her own ears.
Her reason for seeking Aidan Lucas was clear, but she thought that it would not be so easy to convince him. Yet now, he was the one asking her this question.
“Are you willing to help me?”
She had assumed that his earlier promise was merely empty words he had blurted during a moment of impulse.
Aidan Lucas nodded, his ambiguous gaze landed on her face. “Marry me, get revenge on Austin Lucas, and on the Gray family that threw you out.”
“Marry… marry you…”
This time, Lily Gray was genuinely stunned.
She thought Aidan Lucas would ask her to sell her body, to become a woman kept by him.
But now, he was saying, let her marry him.
“But, I… I’m a divorcee.”
Aidan Lucas was still single, a fact widely publicized in A City.
Whether it was Aidan Lucas’s wealth or his personal life, even his marital status, all were the focus of public attention.
“No problem, I don’t mind.” He said, his lips slightly raised, making his handsome features more captivating.
Lily Gray suddenly felt a bit short of breath.
This was her first time seeing his features clearly at such a close distance.
“So, you don’t want to?” He leaned in close to her, wedging her between himself and the table.
Even though it was such an ambiguous action, there was a hint of cold and ruthless energy behind his inscrutable dark eyes.
Lily Gray suddenly had a premonition that if she dared to say “no”, her fate would be worse than she imagined.
She only thought for three seconds before making her decision.
“Of course, I do. If anyone is losing out, it’s you, Mr. Cooper, not me.”
If Aidan Lucas was not worried, why should she, a divorcee, be? Plus, isn’t that why she sought him in the first place?
Utilizing Aidan Lucas’s power for revenge and reclaiming everything that belonged to her.
However, the final development of the affair was smooth, beyond her expectations.
She had thought she would become his mistress, but to her surprise, he had proposed that she marry him.
“Very well.” His light kiss landed on her forehead.
Her body instinctively wanted to back off, but she was trapped between the edge of the table and his sturdy arms.
With one kiss, his attitude was much gentler than the prior times.
Aidan Lucas, true to his reputation as a seasoned fox in the business world, only handed her the already prepared documents after giving her a sweet treat. “What’s this?” Lily Gray took the thick pile of documents, suspicious.
After briefly scanning the content of the documents, she was significantly more relaxed, “Is this a prenuptial agreement?”
Wealthy and influential families always sign such an agreement, to prevent unexpected future events from splitting the family property with the other party.
Unfortunately, when she married Austin Lucas, things were too hasty. In order to reassure her mother, she didn’t even draft a prenuptial agreement of this sort..
