Chapter 123 - 126: It’s a Good Deal to Buy Her as Mrs. Lucas
“Didn’t you say we’re having dinner together with Miss Wellington later?” She asked in a low voice, and she couldn’t help but observe his expression.
Aidan Lucas gently picked her up and put her on the sofa, “You go home first, it’s not suitable for a pregnant woman to stay out too late.”
Does this mean he might stay out late with Joan Wellington before coming home?
Lily Gray raised her delicate eyebrows involuntarily.
Aidan, acting as cool as ever, placed her down and then went back behind his office desk.
“You just go ahead.” He didn’t even lift his head as he gave her the eviction order.
In her heart, Lily’s heartbeat slowed when she saw his cold expression, almost dripping with water.
Instead of obediently leaving, she walked over to the desk and asked softly, “Are you angry?”
Upon hearing this, Aidan raised his eyes. His ice-cold gaze focused on her face, and the undercurrent in his black pupils was an emotion that Lily could not see through.
“Do you need me to call Samuel to send you out?” His voice was faint, with a hint of alienation.
Lily paused, realizing that he was indeed angry.
But when she thought about it, she couldn’t figure out what he was angry about.
“Have you had enough?” He narrowed his eyes, urging her once again.
Lily hesitated for a moment and then suddenly understood.
Yes, it must be because he was annoyed that she had interrupted his “elegant mood”, right?
After all, there was a girl who seemed to have a close relationship with him waiting for him outside.
Unconsciously, she lowered her head and twisted her fingers, “No need, there is a driver downstairs.”
After saying that, she didn’t linger and went back to the sofa to pick up her forgotten bag.
As soon as she picked up the bag, the golden lipstick caught her eye.
She hesitated for an instant, looked back at the man who was lowering his head and not willing to give her any extra attention, and still picked up the lipstick.
Taking the money means to work for it. Her marriage to Aidan was a transaction where they both got what they needed. He had given her too much, so she had to give him a return of equal value to not take his money for nothing.
“Husband.”
She suddenly called him, the soft and tender voice calling out “husband” made his eyes pause.
He looked up at her, his indifferent black pupils narrowing.
She saw her mouth curled with a smile as she approached him with a small golden object in her hand.
She stopped by his side.
“Here, is this lipstick from another woman? It’s a limited edition and hard to buy.” Lily tried her best to maintain a proper smile as she placed the delicate lipstick in front of Aidan.
“But don’t worry, Mrs. Lucas is very understanding and won’t make a fuss even when she finds something suspicious.”
She put her hands on both sides of his office chair, leaning her body slightly forward, and winked at the motionless man sitting there, “You see, this is the benefit of an agreement marriage. Your three million was not in vain.”
“Marrying me and having me as Mrs. Lucas is really a good deal.” After saying that, she didn’t forget to leave a kiss on his ear.
“Alright, I’m going home… Have fun tonight, husband!” she said, wanting to leave, but he stopped her.
Aidan Lucas flashed a trace of anger in his eyes, “Have fun?”
“Huh.” He smiled ironically, looking at her, “Say what you just said again.”
His cold gaze made it almost unbearable to look at.
Lily almost went weak in the knees from his stare, let alone repeating what she had just said. She did not even have the courage to speak.
It took her a long time to find her voice.
“I… I’m leaving first.”
Instinctively wanting to escape, he grabbed her wrist.
He pulled her into his arms once more.
Unlike the gentle caress before, this time he grabbed her delicate little chin.
He leaned down and kissed her..
