Chapter 1018: Chapter 1021: Taking a Temporary Leave, Giving Myself a Break (Extra 1) Chapter 1018: Chapter 1021: Taking a Temporary Leave, Giving Myself a Break (Extra 1) “Don't like it?”
Aidan Lucas sharply sensed that, upon glimpsing the clothes at his feet, Lily's beautiful peach-blossom eyes dimmed slightly.
He instinctively wanted to explain.
In fact, he had already made changes for the woman.
To make her happy, he could barely bring himself to accept, her wearing beautiful clothes, appearing in front of outsiders.
Only the clothes in the lounge were prepared beforehand. Since Lily hadn't used the room there for a long time, the clothes inside had never been changed.
Aidan Lucas silently reminded himself, he would have Benjamin Lucas IX change all the clothes in there to the most fashionable styles as soon as he saw him.
He slightly softened his tone and said, “About those clothes inside…”
“It's not that I don't like them, I'd look the same in these. After all, they're just clothes, it doesn't matter!”
Lily suddenly sat up from the sofa.
She confidently picked up the white shirt and black trousers and put them on, not showing the slightest sign of displeasure.
Before this, the man had never deeply interacted with a woman.
Not to mention dating, observing words and expressions.
Lily pretended nothing was wrong, putting on that conservative outfit without any sign of unwillingness on her face.
This made Aidan Lucas think that the look he saw earlier was just his imagination.
He fastened the buttons for the woman, straightened her clothes, and held her tenderly for a while before letting her go.
“That's enough, you should get on with your work… I have something to do and must go back first. By the way, now that I'm also a shareholder here at Bastion, remember to notify me if anything important comes up!”
Lily hooked her arm around his neck, and even playfully nuzzled into the crook of his neck.
This delighted Aidan Lucas, who simply nodded, “Mmh, I'll inform you if anything comes up.”
“You head back to the condominium first, I have something tonight and might be back later. If you're hungry, and there's something you want to eat, tell Benjamin Lucas IX to deliver it to you.”
Lily shook her head, “There's no need for that hassle, I'm not a three-year-old child. Don't worry… I'll be good and wait for you to come back.”
Having said that, Lily took the initiative to hug Aidan Lucas and kissed him.
The man kissed her back without suspicion, not letting her go until after a moment.
After Lily left the office, she was escorted to the car by Benjamin Lucas IX.
Once in the car, she immediately took out her cell phone and called Sadie.
“Sadie, arrange something for me, I need to go to B City.”
She needed to calm down.
If things kept going like this, she might explode!
However, Lily knew she could not give up on Aidan Lucas.
With her first personality still asleep, she would never be able to leave him.
Yet, she felt an indescribably bitterness in her heart.
Therefore, she decided to give herself a break, to temporarily get away and cool off.
She wanted to go to B City to find Ben Lucas, perhaps her son could help her continue to cope, entangled with the second personality of Aidan Lucas.
As for what Aidan Lucas would do.
Lily didn't want to care right now.
That man was too domineering, too unreasonable.
If she didn't separate from him for a while to clear her head, she feared she might not be able to resist telling him the truth!

Under Sadie's arrangements, Lily went straight to the airport.
Meanwhile, Aidan Lucas left Bastion and returned to the Lucas family's old manor.
Tomorrow night, Emily Taylor was to host a dinner there for Lily.
To prevent the woman from feeling aggrieved,
Aidan Lucas unusually came one day in advance to have dinner.
He also intended to confirm with Emily Taylor the content of the conversations for tomorrow night.
Inside the Lucas family's mansion, Aidan Lucas and Emily Taylor sat face to face in the study room.
It had been a very long time since Emily Taylor had enjoyed a harmonious dinner like tonight with her son.
After dinner, Aidan would stay to accompany her for a walk, and then they would sit together in the study for a casual chat.
“Alright, Aidan. You've been with me all night; I know you're busy and I'm not asking for anything more. Being able to occasionally spend time with me like this, no matter which Aidan you are, it makes me happy,” Emily said.
“Now, say whatever you want to say. Rest assured, given your changes, I will try my best to accommodate you.”
