Chapter 236 - 239: The Strange Change in Aidan Lucas
After a considerable knock, the door finally opened from inside.
The handsome and aloof face of Aidan Lucas appeared behind the door.
“Sir… Mister…” Ellie was so scared by Aidan Lucas’s gloomy gaze that she felt weak in the knees.
For the sake of Young Lady’s health, she bravely stated, “Dinner…dinner’s ready… Young Lady is pregnant, she can’t go hungry…”
After Ellie had stammered out her sentence, she didn’t dare to look him in the eye.
Contrary to her fears, the expected anger did not occur. Aidan Lucas just lightly acknowledged with a ‘Hmm’.
Then he turned back into the room.
Ellie waited outside the door, not daring to go in, and unsure what Lucas was up to.
Why did he open the door only to go back in?
Just as she was wondering, she saw Aidan Lucas come out again.
This time, he was carrying someone.
Aidan Lucas came out holding the dainty Lily Gray, his face still as cold as ever.
Lily Gray, whose body had gone limp from Aidan Lucas’s passionate kisses, stayed nestled in his arms, without any strength to resist.
She was still scared.
If Ellie hadn’t knocked on the door just now, perhaps Aidan Lucas would have taken her right there on the basin…
His eyes were dark and frightening, like a beast slowly savoring its prey.
Lily Gray felt like she was that prey.
One misstep, and she would be devoured by him.
Aidan Lucas seemed like a completely different person upon his return.
There was a cold edge to him.
Even so, the occasional longing looks in his eyes were deeper than before he left.
“L..1 can walk…” Lily Gray muttered with a soft voice, looking down.
Aidan Lucas had gone back to help her dress properly in her skirt and then carried her out.
Throughout all this, she never set foot on the ground and he dressed her himself.
Lily Gray couldn’t understand why Aidan Lucas was treating her like a baby.
She had hands and feet, she didn’t need him to do these things for her.
“I want to walk by myself…” she tried to voice her opinion.
However, Aidan Lucas simply ignored her.
Not only did he not let her down, he adjusted his arms and held her even more securely.
“Sir, Young Lady,” Ellie greeted the pair, somewhat awkwardly.
Aidan Lucas completely disregarded Ellie, carrying Lily out of the room.
Being held by him, Lily could only bury her face in his chest, blushing furiously.
How embarrassing, Ellie saw everything…
Although Lily tried to struggle out of Aidan Lucas’s embrace, the more she struggled, the tighter he held her.
It wasn’t until they reached the restaurant that he finally put her down.
She was placed in the dining chair by Aidan Lucas. Then, he pushed a bowl of noodles toward her.
“Eat,” he commanded, his voice icy. It was just one simple word.
Lily Gray looked at the bowl full of ingredients in front of her. There was so much, she couldn’t possibly finish it.
What’s more, after saying “eat,” Aidan Lucas took a seat across from her, watching her intently.
He didn’t seem to have any intention of looking away.
“If you watch me…I…I can’t eat.” After trying a few bites, she couldn’t enjoy the food under his gloomy gaze.
That seemed to anger Aidan Lucas even more.
She couldn’t be certain, but she gathered as much from his tense lips when he heard her words.
She had no idea what she did to upset him.
Was it because she didn’t want him to watch her eat? Or because she said she couldn’t eat while he was watching?
With no time to ponder, she was relieved when he looked away after she spoke.
Lily Gray finally started eating her noodles with a light heart..
