Chapter 161 - 164: The Wild Man Who Supported Lily Gray
Lily Gray heard his words, couldn’t help but wrinkle her nose, and tears uncontrollably rolled down her cheeks.
“Husband…” It slipped out unintentionally due to his words.
Aidan Lucas heard her cat-like call for “husband”, his eyes deepened, and he held her even tighter in his arms.
His big palm gently stroked her back, as if to soothe her and show affection.
Lily buried her face in his chest, her small hands wrapped around his lean waist, her whole face blushing in shame.
Only now did she realize, having been too excited, that she had unintentionally called him “husband.”
It wasn’t the first time she’d said these words, but it was the first time she’d said them genuinely.
Moreover, when she called him, her voice was helpless and whiny, almost without restraint.
Lily Gray felt extremely embarrassed!
Aidan Lucas was evidently very satisfied with the tender call of “husband.”
He gently cradled her in his arms, allowing her to huddle under his wings.
Such an action seemed to proclaim his possessiveness and protective instincts towards her.
The media at the bottom of the stairs immediately sensed an extraordinary gossip atmosphere.
Aidan Lucas, the legend of A City, the pinnacle of power in Eastonia.
Although he rarely appeared in the media, there were no media in A City that didn’t recognize his face. As long as they were in the media industry, almost everyone would be taught by their superiors to remember this face upon entering the industry.
No doubt, if they happened to encounter him in A City, even just a photograph of his side profile would be enough to sell out newspapers the next day.
“It’s Mr. Cooper. Hurry…take pictures!”
“I’m so excited, I can’t believe 1 get to see Mr. Cooper in person! This is the first time I’ve seen him in my five years working in this industry!”
“The two paparazzi from Entertainment Express who captured the secret meeting between Mr. Cooper and Miss Hammond didn’t even have a proper photo. The story about their meeting was reprinted by several media outlets in A City this morning. Those two paparazzi made a fortune. If we get a photo of Mr. Cooper guarding the flower, it will definitely make us more money than Entertainment Express!”
Upon hearing this, other reporters who were hesitating due to the burly man in black took out their cameras and started snapping photos.
Everyone around Aidan Lucas was skilled, and if it were any other day, they would have already beaten these reporters to a pulp.
However, today, Mr. Lucas didn’t say anything, Mr. Mckinley didn’t say anything, and even Seventh Master didn’t say anything.
Without an order, the burly men in black didn’t take action, they just continued to block the bottom of the stairs, not letting the reporters come close.
While the reporters took a flurry of pictures below, the Gray family on the stage were utterly perplexed.
Among the Gray family, Madam Gray had the highest status and was the most knowledgeable.
But her upbringing was not good, and when she was young and accompanied her husband to gatherings, she would often become the subject of ridicule. After her husband passed away prematurely, she became even less willing to attend upper-class banquets, and gradually drifted away from A City’s upper-class circle.
And then there was Aidan Lucas, a man who was rarely seen by ordinary wealthy people.
So, Madam Gray didn’t know who Aidan Lucas was either.
Since even Madam Gray hadn’t seen him, the rest of the Gray family had no chance of knowing who he was.
Seeing him arrive in a one and a half million dollar car and grand demeanor at the courthouse, they initially thought he was there to give Lily Gray trouble, but in the blink of an eye, the two were embracing.
Madam Gray didn’t know the man’s identity, but seeing him holding Lily Gray, she immediately disliked him.
At most, he was just a rich person keeping this little minx.
What if he’s just a rich playboy? So what?
She’s that unprofitable goods’ grandmother, and in the face of filial piety, she wouldn’t be afraid of God himself if he came!
