Seeing the woman's angry attempt to push him away, the chill in the man's eyes suddenly darkened.
His large palm, gripping her chin, moved upward.
The cool tips of his fingers pinched both sides of her cheek.
Lily was startled, thinking this was a precursor to his anger.
She was somewhat annoyed with herself, how could she have forgotten?
The man before her was Aidan Lucas, yet he wasn't Aidan Lucas. The second personality was irritable and violent, with a perverse nature, even more difficult to deal with than the first personality of Aidan Lucas.
She could be angry and lose her temper with Aidan Lucas, but she couldn't do the same with his second personality.
Lily immediately regretted her actions, watching his thin lips pressed tightly together, her heart pounding wildly.
She didn't dare to think about how her recent defiance could provoke his anger.
But, unexpectedly, things took a different turn.
Aidan Lucas was not angry.
He just used his hand to straighten her face so she could only look directly at him.
The man spoke in a low, calm, yet extremely serious voice, “Listen, Lily. I don't oppose you developing your own business, and I am willing to protect and support you. But the Gray family won't do, it has no value, it is a company not worth investing in. Even if you could revive it, the return won't be proportional to your investment.”
He looked at her with an incredibly focused gaze.
From his dark eyes, Lily could not see annoyance or anger, only his consideration for her.
The stone in her heart finally settled down.
Lily felt a bit guilty; she had overthought earlier.
She had measured the gentleman's belly with the mind of a petty person, being extra cautious with him because he was the second personality.
Lily finally let go.
She shouldn't apply the standards of the first personality to the second one.
Though they were the same person, they were not the same soul. The second personality of Aidan Lucas had not experienced those past events with her. He couldn't understand the significance of the Gray family to her.
It was extremely impolite of her to expect him not to think like a businessman, and like the first personality, understand her attachment to the Gray family and hence support her. It was an unreasonable demand.
“Alright, perhaps you're right. I'll consider what you've said.”
Lily gave up on relying on Bastion to help the Gray family expand its business.
She would figure out her own way for the Gray family.
“Good girl,” Aidan Lucas released the grip on her cheeks and gently kissed her forehead.
He hadn't applied force earlier, only holding her head steady so she wouldn't avoid his gaze.
As for why he was unwilling to let Bastion help the Gray family out of adversity.
The reasons given earlier were just nice-sounding platitudes.
The real reason, Aidan Lucas knew very well in his heart.
In the end, it was because of jealousy.
Jealousy of her past with another him.
He knew that the Gray family meant something special to the woman, but those special memories were completely unknown to him.
He could force himself to accept that she had been intimate with another him, could accept they had a child together, and could even accept that they were once husband and wife.
But, regarding their shared memories.
Those memories he could not touch no matter what, he just wanted to bury forever.
Aidan Lucas knew he might be selfish.
But he had always been like this.
If he liked something, he would fight for it.
He didn't think that there was anything wrong with his approach.
Lily was unaware of the man's tumultuous and complex inner turmoil.
She secretly decided to rejuvenate the Gray family with her own capabilities.
For now, she would put this issue aside.
She looked up at the man still holding her down, changing the subject.
“By the way, now that Bastion, the Wellington family, and Weldon have formed an alliance, Mr. Wellington is the one in charge of the Wellington family, but I seem to have never seen Mr. Wellington at the company? Does he not take care of matters himself?”
