Chapter 514: Chapter 517: Changing Strategy, Pampering the Wife (3)
“Yes, I did it on purpose, of course.” Aidan Lucas admitted unabashedly.
Lily Gray’s face changed, her voice suddenly raised, “Aidan Lucas, you were never this childish before! Let’s not mix business with personal feelings. Do you think it’s fun to play with people like this?”
Aidan Lucas nodded, noncommittally saying, “Yes, it’s fun.”
At least this way, she would come to him voluntarily.
“You–”
Lily Gray was so irritated by him that she could hardly breathe. Although she felt sorry for the Gray family, if she continued to stay, she was afraid she would do something uncontrollable.
“Forget it. Consider it that I didn’t come today! Goodbye, or rather, never see you again, Mr. Lucas!”
She walked around him angrily, intending to go toward the door.
However, just as she was about to pass by him, his large palm suddenly extended from his side, directly gripping her wrist and unexpectedly pulling her into his arms.
“You’re already a mother, so why is your temper still so volatile, hmm?”
He pulled her into his embrace and before she could resist, he effortlessly lifted her entire body into his arms.
“Aidan Lucas, what are you doing, let go of me!” Lily Gray didn’t expect this move from him and struggled to get down.
“Baby, don’t move… if not for you, then consider the baby in your belly. If I let go and you fall, the baby will get hurt.”
Aidan Lucas is not just typically sly and cunning!
He intentionally took advantage of his height to hold her up high.
She was obediently sitting in the crook of his left arm, and his right hand gently supported her back.
If she created a ruckus and forced him to let go at this moment…
The drop wouldn’t hurt her stomach, but it would surely frighten the baby.
“You… How could you be so despicable!” She couldn’t run away, so she could only ferociously glare at him with her misty, peach blossom eyes.
However, hearing her evaluation, Aidan Lucas laughed rather than getting angry.
“What’s wrong with being a bit despicable to win back my wife?”
Furious, she retorted, “I’m not your wife!”
“You have no say in it.”
“You… I told you, my husband’s name is Austin Lucas, not Aidan Lucas! How many times have I told you, you made a mistake, stop pestering me!”
She deliberately brought up the name Austin Lucas to incite him.
Under normal circumstances, if she said something like this, he would surely fume with anger.
But today, he seemed nonchalant.
Even more, his usually deep and cold gaze carried a frighteningly warm smile.
“Baby, as I said, it’s not for you to decide. If you don’t believe me, come home with me and I’ll show you our marriage certificate.”
His eyes and eyebrows curved into a smile, even with a hint of indulgence.
But the gentler his smile, the deeper the curve at his corner of his mouth, the more Lily Gray felt frightened.
This Aidan Lucas was decidedly off; even more so than the man who would get enraged and irritable at the mention of the name Austin Lucas.
“Alright, are you done fussing?” He affectionately nuzzled her nose with his tall nose.
Caught off guard by his intimate gesture, Lily Gray felt a shiver run through her whole body.
She immediately turned her face away, refusing his touch.
But the next second, he gently planted a kiss on her bare, makeup-free face.
“Uh… Aidan Lucas, what the hell are you doing!” Lily Gray asked in astonishment, covering her left cheek.
The man arched an eyebrow, acting innocent, “You turned your face by yourself… weren’t you doing it intentionally, wanting me to kiss you, hmm?”
