Chapter 64 - 67: Almost Drowned in His Laughter
“Madam Lucas, you have misunderstood. I married Lily because I love her.” He said while looking straight into Madam Lucas’s scrutinizing gaze.
Deep love can be seen in his unrippled black pupils, as if just mentioning Lily Gray could move his heart.
“Really?” Madam Lucas’s doubtful gaze swept across his face.
“Of course.” Aidan Lucas nodded, “Half a month ago, at your birthday banquet, Lily was drugged by her ex-husband. That night, she and 1 got together.” “What? Lily was drugged by her ex-husband! That Caleb Lucas IV actually did such a disgraceful thing!” Madam Lucas slammed the table as her thoughts returned to the incident where Caleb Lucas IV’s lover rushed to the old manor to expose their affair.
Could it be that their target for the expose was her own great-grandson?
Aidan Lucas observed Madam Lucas’s reaction and deeply felt her love for Lily Gray. Fortunately, choosing this woman to marry was indeed the best choice.
“Madam Lucas, calm down and sit down first…” Though Madam Lucas was deceived, Aidan Lucas was also afraid that being too emotional would hurt her due to her old age, so he gently helped her sit down while comforting her.
Aidan Lucas smoothed Madam Lucas’s back. Although Mr. Lucas was always arrogant and unapproachable, he was rarely affectionate and considerate in front of Madam Lucas.
And so, the grandson and grandmother sat together, and Aidan Lucas recounted to her the “getting to know each other” to “falling in love” process between him and Lily Gray.
Of course, it was a beautified version. By the time he finished speaking, tears already glistened in Madam Lucas’s eyes.
“Caleb Lucas IV committed sins, even daring… even daring to treat a good child like Lily like this. Madam Lucas, you must not dwell on it. After all, I’m here now, right? I’ll take care of Lily.”
Aidan Lucas embraced his grandmother, patiently comforting her with a gentle tone, like one would with a child.
Lily Gray happened to return at this moment. As she walked inside, she saw the tenderness on Aidan Lucas’s face, and her heart suddenly tightened.
Aidan Lucas’s deep and three-dimensional features always looked icy when he was not smiling, noble as a ruler, cold and ruthless. But now, his lips curved up slightly, and his narrow black pupils were filled with captivating brightness. The usually cold brows and eyes also became animated.
Lily Gray inadvertently stared at him too long.
In high society, surrounded by handsome men and beautiful women, it was undeniable that Aidan Lucas was the most dazzling man she had ever met.
“Lily… what are you doing standing at the door?” Madam Lucas and Aidan Lucas had noticed her presence at this time.
“Come on, come in… Look at you, silly girl, even if you like Ethan so much, you can’t just stand at the door staring at him!” Madam Lucas, feeling sorry for her, personally got up to help her sit down on the sofa.
Seeing the way Lily Gray looked at Aidan Lucas, any last doubt in Madam Lucas’s heart vanished.
Madam Lucas was an experienced woman, and she was worried that her grandson had forced the young girl. However, from what he saw, Lily seemed to have feelings for her grandson as well.
Otherwise, how could she stand there, staring at him so intently?
“Madam Lucas, you misunderstood… I wasn’t just…”
“Alright, alright, Madam Lucas misunderstood. In my view, it should be Aidan who’s staring at our beautiful Lily.”
Lily Gray was embarrassed by Madam Lucas’s words and could only seek help from Aidan Lucas. However, as soon as she turned her head, she was met with clear eyes filled with a trace of a smile.
Aidan Lucas… he could actually smile at her like this….
