Chapter 323 - 326: This Time Master Lu Suffered, Right?
“Sleep yet?”
“Yes, yes.” Ellie carefully observed Lily Gray’s expression, afraid that she was hurt, “The Young Master had the guest room cleaned up, and… he slept there when he came back last night.”
“Last night…”
So, Aidan Lucas had moved to the guest room last night.
He…
Lily Gray suddenly felt a burning pain on her face.
Turns out, she was the only one harboring feelings all this while.
She was worried about what he might do to her… but she didn’t realize that he simply couldn’t care less about her.
“Alright, Ellie, 1 got it. It’s getting late, I’m tired.”
Lily Gray forced herself to stay calm, not wanting Ellie to see her embarrassment.
Ellie noticed a fleeting watery look in Lily Gray’s eyes and wanted to comfort her.
But she knew that no matter how much outsiders say, it’s ultimately useless when it comes to the matters between a couple.
“Alright, then I’ll go now. You rest well, Young Lady.”

Meanwhile, in the guest room of the villa.
Aidan Lucas turned over once again on the bed.
The guest room had already plunged into darkness.
Yet Aidan Lucas, lying in bed, had absolutely no desire to sleep.
Last night, he was under the influence of alcohol and didn’t notice how unused he was to sleeping alone.
But tonight, as he lay alone on this king-size bed, he suddenly felt as if something was missing beside him.
Feeling frustrated, Aidan sat up several times with the intention of going to the master bedroom but forced himself back into bed each time.
This repeated until 12 o’clock, and he was still awake.
Aidan Lucas turned over again in bed and lay flat.
With his eyes closed, he forced himself to sleep.
About ten minutes later, the man in the bed suddenly opened his narrow black pupils.
“Damn it.”
He cursed softly, sitting up from the bed.
He then put on a large robe, exited the guest room, and headed straight in the direction of the master bedroom.
There wasn’t a soul in sight; the villa was fully immersed in the quiet of the night.
It didn’t take long for Aidan Lucas to reach the door of the master bedroom.
Upon turning the knob, it turned out, the door was locked.
Yet,
The man’s thin lips curved upwards in the dark, and in the next second, he had a key in his hand.
Lucky for him, he came prepared.
He unlocked the door, entered, and locked it back behind him.
The sight before him was pitch black, from where he could faintly hear the woman’s regular and rhythmic breaths in bed.
It sounded like she was sleeping quite soundly.
They ignored him as he tossed and turned in bed, while she, the indifferent little one, was sleeping so sweetly.
Suddenly, a bit of resentment rose in Aidan’s heart.
He stood by the door for a while, his eyes gradually adapting to the darkness inside.
Aidan Lucas’s deep gaze fell upon Lily Gray on the bed.
Although hardly visible in the dark, he could still make out the exquisite curve of her body on the bed.
Lily Gray seemed to be sleeping restlessly, having pushed off almost half the blanket.
One of her long, fair legs was resting outside the blanket, revealing a little of her snow white skin.
His gaze became a bit obscure.
His Adam’s apple involuntarily moved a bit.
He kept reminding himself that he should not approach her.
But by the time he came to his senses, he was already standing right there.
A trace of annoyance crossed Aidan’s eyes.
He let out a silent sigh and reminded himself, just this once.
In the future, he must not indulge himself like this again.
Having made up his mind, he slowly approached the side of the bed.
His deep gaze stayed fixed on Lily Gray.
The cool and distant eyes during the day were now filled with greedy thoughts.
His little one, his Lily….
