BXBX NOVEL Chapter 63 - 66: His attitude raises doubts
The atmosphere between the two grew dangerous and eerie, leaving Lily Gray with nowhere to hide. She was forced to confront those terrifying black pupils directly.
“Lily Gray, listen carefully…” he lowered his voice and leaned in, a strong threat evident in his tone.
“I said earlier, 1 don’t fancy women who talk too much. All you need to do is play the role of Mrs. Lucas obediently. As for the rest… it’s none of your business.”
After saying this, he let go of Lily Gray’s shackles.
Lily Gray unconsciously stepped back, her teary and pained peach blossom eyes looking at him with fear and caution.
A faint current flashed through her heart.
It felt like being stung by something.
Aidan Lucas took a deep look at Lily Gray. Seeing her take another unconscious step back, the rejection in her eyes grew even stronger than before.
He suddenly felt that such a look was too uncomfortable.
Had there really been a need for her to distance herself just because he had warned her twice?
Aidan Lucas forcibly suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and turned to walk upstairs first.
It was only after Lily Gray had adjusted her breathing a little that she followed suit.

When Mr. Mckinley showed Lily Gray and Aidan Lucas into the room together, Madam Lucas was sitting on the sofa watching television.
Upon seeing Lily Gray, her face broke into a smile.
“Lily, it’s really you… come, come over to me.”
Lily Gray saw that the smile Madam Lucas showed her was no different from what it used to be, and she finally let go of her worries. She had been concerned that marrying Aidan Lucas might upset Madam Lucas.
However, it seemed that Madam Lucas had no objection to her at all.
“Madam Lucas, hello,” Lily Gray greeted her, and was then pulled to sit beside her.
“Oh, calling me ‘Madam Lucas’, you should change your address to ‘grandmother’…” Madam Lucas held Lily Gray’s hand and beamed brightly, reluctant to let go.
Aidan Lucas took the chance to sit down on the other side, teasing his grandmother. “Grandma, this is so unfair. Since you got a granddaughter-in-law, you no longer care about your grandson.”
Madam Lucas cast him a disdainful glance. “You brat, have 1 not spoiled you enough for the past few decades… The reason I dote on your wife is to make you understand love. What’s most important to me is that you and your wife are blissful together, letting me hold a great-grandson as soon as possible.”
Madam Lucas’ words made Lily Gray blush.
It wasn’t due to shyness, but rather guilt towards Madam Lucas.
The seemingly kind and compassionate Madam Lucas had been so kind to her, yet her engagement with Ethan Wilson was just a mere agreement.
Each time she thought of how she had deceived such a kind and gentle elderly woman, Lily Gray felt as though her heart was suffocating.
Since she had something weighing on her mind, it was hard to concentrate when Madam Lucas asked about their lives. She knew that she had to stay calm, or she could accidentally reveal their secret when answering her probing questions.
Thus, she excused herself to the bathroom to compose herself before returning to the conversation.
The moment Lily Gray left, the smile on Madam Lucas’ face froze.
“Tell me, why did you bring Lily back as your wife? Why did you suddenly have a change of heart?”
Madam Lucas stared at her eldest grandson with a dark expression on her face. It was impossible for her not to understand what kind of man her grandson was.
A man who had never been swayed by threats and temptations before suddenly agreed to marry, and then brought back a woman he had never met in the past.
If it hadn’t been Lily Gray who he had brought back, Madam Lucas believed her own great-grandson would have long been driven out by the woman at his side..
