Lily Gray’s worry was evident.
But it also showed that she still didn’t trust Aidan Lucas.
Suppressing his anger, the man told himself not to bicker with a pregnant woman.
“You don’t have to worry about your aunt. When you feel better in a few days, she will come and apologize to you personally.”
“She will apologize to me?” Lily Gray shook her head in rejection. “It’s not necessary. After all, she’s my elder, and besides…some things may not be sincere even if it’s an apology.”
How could someone like Emma Shaw be sincere in apologizing to her?
If anything, she would probably resent her even more.
Now that she was carrying a baby, it was better to stay away from such people.
Aidan Lucas naturally didn’t miss the changes in her expressions, and with just one look, he could tell what she was thinking.
“Don’t worry, she’s an elder who has committed such a mistake and won’t be let off lightly. Even if you don’t trust me, you should trust Madam Lucas.”
“Madam Lucas …you mean Grandma Lucas!?” Lily hadn’t expected that this incident would alarm the old lady.
Madam Lucas went to the Azure Dragon Temple just two days ago. It’s the most famous Buddhist holy place in Eastonia, and the old lady would stay there for a few months every year.
“Yes.” Aidan Lucas nodded.
“Grandma personally ordered it, so even if my uncle tried to plead for the Taylors, their business would still be affected by Royal Palace Group.
Moreover, my mother has realized her mistake and has been ordered by Grandma to stay at home and reflect on her actions for these two days. She will come to see you after a few days.”
His almond-shaped eyes narrowed, and his casual attitude made it seem like he was not talking about his own family affairs.
The business he was referring to – being suppressed by the Royal Palace Group – was his uncle’s business, after all.
And Emily Taylor was his biological mother.
However, Lily Gray saw his attitude as if he didn’t care about his uncle’s business being affected and his mother being punished by the old lady. Instead, he seemed to be slightly pleased.
Lily Gray could not help but touch her belly.
Her future child must not inherit Aidan Lucas’s insensitive genes.
“Oh, 1 almost forgot something important!”
Lily Gray touched her belly and suddenly looked up, “Our agreement is only for one year. I never thought I would be pregnant when I signed the agreement with you… So what will happen to this baby?”
Protecting her belly, she looked at him with barely noticeable expectations in her eyes.
She didn’t know what she was expecting. It was a fleeting feeling, and she couldn’t grasp it for the moment.
Aidan Lucas looked down at her, his dark ink-like pupils exuding an innate oppressive aura.
As he looked at her, she also looked at him. But unlike the clear light in her eyes, his deep gaze was difficult to fathom.
“Since it’s an unplanned child, we’ll draft another agreement.” He said calmly, sitting there with the natural nobility of someone in power.
The originally harmonious atmosphere seemed to dissipate in an instant.
Aidan Lucas’s business-like tone made it seem as if they were discussing a business transaction.
But their relationship shouldn’t be like that; he was supposed to be her…husband.
It took a great deal of effort for Lily Gray not to let her disappointment show.
She steadied her voice and echoed softly, “You’re right, we do need to draft an agreement.”
“It’s not a bad thing to handle business matters properly. With the agreement as a guideline, we won’t have disputes in the future.” She finished, lowering her head unintentionally, the corners of her lips pulling up into a relieved smile, but with a hint of tears in her eyes.
Aidan Lucas responded casually, from his angle, he could see her slightly upturned lips.
For some reason, he found her overly guarded demeanor somewhat irritating.contemporary romance
He said coldly, “In that case, 1’11 have Mr. Fenton draft the agreement in a few days..”
