Chapter 645: Chapter 648: After Telling Lily the Truth…
He knew it; his little one was so smart that there was no way she could be kept in the dark.
Half an hour later, Aidan Lucas finally told Lily Gray everything from start to finish without any omissions.
He thought Lily would definitely be hurt.
That she would cry pitifully, curling up in his arms, waiting for him to carefully comfort her until she smiled through her tears.
But nothing… nothing happened.
The scene Aidan Lucas was worried about never occurred.
Lily Gray just calmly listened to his narration and then raised her watery peach blossom eyes, staring at him without moving.
“Where’s my mother now, and how is she doing?”
Aidan Lucas’s throat caught, and his hands unconsciously held Lily Gray even tighter.
He suddenly became somewhat afraid of Lily Gray’s calm gaze.
As if she was already disappointed in him.
Lily… Was she disappointed in him?
“Why aren’t you talking anymore?” Lily Gray suddenly hooked her lips, looking at him with an inquisitive expression. “I’m asking you, where’s my mother? How is she?”
“She…” The man’s deep and magnetic voice answered softly.
He really wanted to lie and deceive Lily.
But he knew, once the lie was exposed, the only thing waiting for him would be Lily’s merciless departure.
Such a thing had happened once, and he didn’t want it to happen again.
Lily Gray was staring intently at Aidan Lucas.
His sexy Adam’s apple bobbed twice, his voice hoarse. “Your mother…has woken up, she’s in the hospital room downstairs.”
Seeing that Lily Gray was still staring at him calmly without any reaction, Aidan Lucas sighed quietly in his heart and continued, “As soon as she woke up, she demanded to see you, but I refused.”
“Your father, your brother, and even your younger brother. They all asked to see you, but they were all blocked by my people.”
After Aidan Lucas finished saying all this, the furrows between his brows deepened.
He didn’t say another word.
He just frowned, looking deeply into the woman’s eyes in his arms, waiting for her verdict.
But Lily Gray didn’t respond to him right away.
She just quietly looked at him, neither speaking nor responding, as if she was trying to see through his whole soul with her captivating peach blossom eyes.
Aidan Lucas took a difficult breath, his heartbeat suddenly accelerating. The feeling of waiting for a verdict through this agonizing process was very uncomfortable.
He was used to maintaining control.
Just when he was about to give up, Lily Gray suddenly moved.
She suddenly leaned closer, her arms like pink lotus roots, actively hooking around his neck.
Her sudden approach left a sweet scent lingering around his nose. “What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I’ll blame you for this and stand on their side?”
Just as Aidan Lucas was about to say no, he wasn’t afraid of her standing with the Ford family.
No matter where she stood, she would always be his Lily.
Even if she truly blamed him, he would stubbornly lock her by his side.
“Aidan Lucas…don’t be silly.” Lily Gray suddenly buried her head on his neck, biting it lightly. “This is a punishment for not trusting me. How could you think I would stand on their side?”
“I am your wife, you are my husband. We are now a family…that’s right, and our son Ben Lucas. I will always stand by your side. Only you and our son are my real family.”
“Lily…” Aidan Lucas had thought that Lily wouldn’t be easily swayed by the Ford family.
But he never expected her position to be so firm.
“You fool.” Lily Gray bit him on the neck again. “Do you really have no trust in me? You’re standing up for me; how could I blame you? Just like you said, they did the wrong thing, and they should take responsibility. My mother falling was an accident. You shouldn’t have to pay for these things; the real culprit should be the one to take full responsibility.”
“Thank you for protecting me from the wind and rain. But, Aidan Lucas, it’s time for me to face them on my own now!”
