Chapter 203 - 206: An Old Photo
Lily Gray rubbed her eyes in disbelief after checking the WhatsApp message from Mr. Collins several times, making sure she didn’t read it wrong.
David Redington, is it… really David Redington?
The fascinating and breathtakingly handsome David Redington?!
The number one heartthrob in the industry and the movie star of Eastonia who has won all the A-level movie awards at home and abroad?!
Lily Gray felt her heart pounding, David Redington was the first heartthrob from Eastonia that became popular in the last five years both domestic and international.
Even for her, she too… admired him a lot.
Lily Gray couldn’t help but cover her face with her hand, feeling her cheeks burn.
Darn it, what was she thinking?!

Upon returning to Blue Bay Estates, Ellie greeted Lily Gray and helped her with her bag.
“Young Lady, you must be tired? Ah… look at you, all dusty and tattered, obviously exhausted. I’ve said before, as a pregnant person, you should stay home and rest properly. There’s no need to travel around while carrying a child. Mr. Lucas can afford to keep you, so why bother?”
Lily Gray just gave a faint smile while taking off her shoes.
She knew Ellie was just concerned about her, but she wasn’t the real “Mrs. Lucas.”
Her “Mrs. Lucas” status was only temporary, so how could she just stay at home and do nothing, ignoring everything else?
Moreover, she already owed Aidan Lucas too much.
Unless absolutely necessary, she didn’t want to owe him anything else.
“Young Lady, don’t mind my nagging. In the meantime, try to finish up your work quickly. Mr. Lucas has gone on a business trip to M Country. Once he’s back, you shouldn’t go out all the time. It’s much better to stay by Mr. Lucas’s side.”
Ellie knew about the vixen Hannah Ford in M Country and was worried about Mr. Lucas going there. But she didn’t dare mention Hannah in front of Mrs. Lucas.
“Aidan’s gone on a business trip to M Country?” Lily Gray was taken aback that Aidan Lucas had left the country without her knowledge.
“Yes. Mr. Lucas said your cell phone line was busy, so he called back to let me inform you.”
Lily Gray had been on the phone constantly and had been using WhatsApp to communicate with Mr. Collins and others, so she hadn’t had time to check her messages.
Upon checking, she noticed numerous missed call alerts from the phone company.
“I’ll call him back.” She instinctively wanted to call him back.
“Mr. Lucas is on the plane right now… Young Lady, you just got back. Have dinner first. Once Mr. Lucas arrives, he’ll contact you.”
Lily Gray nodded to Ellie’s words.
Forget it, she would wait to talk to Aidan Lucas after he reached the destination.

The private jet was flying smoothly.
On the plane, Aidan Lucas lounged lazily in his seat, made of genuine leather.
Although it was supposed to be his rest time, he wasn’t sleepy at all.
Not being able to sleep seemed to be because he was unaccustomed to not having his gentle and soft woman by his side to embrace.
Or perhaps because of some other reasons.
The man half-reclined in his seat, pulling out his cell phone with his slender fingers.
He swiped the screen.
Opened the photo album on the phone.
Entered the encryption code for the hidden album.
An old photo appeared on the screen.
It was a group photo with many children.
The children in the photo were of different ages.
From one to eleven or twelve years old, they were all gathered together.
In the bottom left corner of the photo, a seven or eight-year-old girl was looking at the camera with a shy smile, her eyes timid.
Her neckline was slightly open, revealing the necklace she wore on her chest.
It was an exquisite citrine necklace, with an uncommonly bright luster.
Aidan Lucas’s gaze lingered on the citrine necklace…
Memories of childhood had long since faded.
But the little angel wearing the citrine necklace would never fade from his memory.
His rough fingertips touched the delicate cheek of the little girl.
He frowned slightly at the cell phone screen.
Hannah Ford…. What should he do with her?
