Chapter 40
However, this was just a topic she had thought of on the fly.
In fact, as long as she could take back the family property that her Daddy and mother had worked hard for, she didn’t care what Aidan Lucas thought of her.
Hearing her question, the smile on Aidan Lucas’s lips deepened, “It’s simple, because I need you.”
“I need a woman with a clean background, born from a prestigious family but without any family burdens, and not overly ambitious. And you, you perfectly fit this criterion. Plus, you happen to be someone that my grandmother approves of.”
Having said that, the man suddenly leaned in, close to her ear,
Lily Gray immediately tensed up. Not only did her entire face turn pink, but her neck and collarbone were also stained with a pink hue.
“You’re shy like this?” Seeing her delicate skin change color, Aidan Lucas couldn’t help but be somewhat moved.
Lily Gray didn’t dare to speak. Enclosed by his tall body between the seats, she looked like a helpless little creature that had fallen into a trap.
“Don’t worry, after going back, we still have a year’s time…to slowly cultivate our feelings.”
Until the car returned to the villa, Aidan Lucas didn’t do anything excessive to her.
But his final words in the car continued to linger in Lily Gray’s mind.
“Cultivate feelings,” Lily Gray dared to bet that these four words were definitely not as simple as they appeared on the surface.
Aidan Lucas brought her back to a place that wasn’t the famous Lucas family mansion on Royal Serenity Avenue.
It was a detached villa located within Blue Bay Estates. Blue Bay Estates was A City’s top luxury real estate development in recent years. Lily Gray knew that several privileged families had properties in Blue Bay Estates.
Following Aidan Lucas into the villa, she hadn’t had time to examine the “new home” she would be living in for a year when Aidan Lucas’s command came.
“Go take a shower.”
As soon as they returned, he told her to take a shower, which turned Lily Gray’s worries into reality.
On the road, she was worried about whether something would happen between her and Aidan Lucas tonight. But now, it wasn’t even dark yet, and he’s asking her to take a shower.
Although worried, apprehensive, and scared, she knew that this would eventually happen.
Although the relationship between her and Aidan Lucas was a “partnership,” he never said he wouldn’t touch her.
After all, Aidan Lucas married her so that she could use his power for revenge, and after they separate, he would give her a considerable amount of alimony. It could be said that from beginning to end, she was the one who benefited more.
Realizing this, she withdrew the words that were about to escape her mouth and obediently followed the servant upstairs.
The two servants leading the way had a cold expression as they took her to a luxurious guest room. They stood by the bathroom door and warned her, “This is the bathroom. We will bring the clothes for you to change into the room later. Mr. Lucas doesn’t like to wait too long, and he doesn’t like women cuddling up to him all wet, so you only have an hour to shower and wash your hair, and you must ensure that your hair is completely dried.”
These two servants didn’t even look at her directly during the entire process. Although they spoke matter-of-factly, they couldn’t hide the disdain in their eyes..
