Chapter 150 - 153: Not Allowed to Hide from Him
By now, Lily Gray had sobered up quite a bit, and everything from last night came flooding back to her.
She turned her head to the side, not wanting to meet Aidan Lucas’s gaze.
Lily Gray lowered her eyes and pursed her lips, not looking at him or speaking… it was clear she was dwelling on what had happened last night.
Aidan Lucas narrowed his dark eyes and reached out to pinch her chin, forcing her to face him and lock eyes.
“Are you avoiding me, hm?” His deep, husky voice was laced with danger.
Lily Gray forced a pale smile, “No, how could 1 dare.”
Yes, how could she dare.
The two of them were originally just part of a transaction, with everything laid out in black and white, no interference from either party.
It was she who was foolish, mixing unwanted emotions into this transaction without realizing it.
“Not daring?” His fingers tightening on her chin, “I think you dare quite a bit.” His cold tone carried a touch of inexplicable anger. He didn’t know what he was angry about—she was pregnant, and he shouldn’t be lashing out at her at this time.
But when faced with her distant and indifferent eyes, he felt an unnerving sense of suffocation and panic.
It was as if something important was gradually slipping away.
Lily Gray smirked, “Mr. Lucas is mistaken. I was driven out of the Gray family and made homeless. I’m completely dependent on Mr. Lucas’s shelter. 1 don’t have time to be grateful, let alone dare to avoid Mr. Lucas.”
Though she knew she shouldn’t say such provocative words, when the words were on the tip of her tongue, she couldn’t help herself and spat them out with defiance.
“Lily Gray…” He suddenly called her name, his voice dangerously low.
Lily Gray was stunned, and her heartbeat skipped a beat.
It would be a lie to say she wasn’t scared. Only she knew how much courage it had taken her to talk back to Aidan Lucas like this.
“Don’t avoid me.” He suddenly lifted her delicate chin and bent down to kiss her.
He kissed her forcefully, nearly sucking all the oxygen from her chest.
His large hand dominantly gripped the back of her head, pushing her towards him.
“Mmm… please don’t…”
Like a furious beast, he disregarded her resistance, greedily savoring her sweetness.
Lily Gray felt a burst of pain from his kisses, and couldn’t help but cry out in pain.
Her hands pushed against him with all her might, but his strength far surpassed hers. No matter how much she struggled, she couldn’t break free from his embrace.
Trapped in his arms, both of their breaths grew increasingly heavy, and it finally snapped her out of the trance.
“No… let go…”
She bit down hard on the man’s thin lips, finally making him release her.
As soon as he let go, a metallic taste of blood filled her mouth.
Rejected by her with ail her strength and bitten on the lips, Aidan Lucas’s cold eyes flashed with anger.
No one had ever dared to resist him like this before.
Fury flickered in the man’s eyes, and he was about to lash out when…
Suddenly, Lily Gray pushed him away, covered her mouth, and ran toward the bathroom.
“Mm…” Soon enough, retching sounds came from the bathroom.
All anger vanished in an instant.
The coldness in his eyes gradually receded, and Aidan Lucas helplessly rubbed his brows, reminding himself that no matter what, he shouldn’t be arguing with a pregnant woman at this time.
He entered the bathroom and saw the weak, huddled woman by the toilet, causing his dark eyes to darken even further.
Her frail and petite frame was curled up into a tiny ball.
She was huddled there so weakly, stirring an unexpected sense of pity in him.
His heart, hardened for over twenty years, couldn’t help but soften..
