Chapter 1033: Chapter 1036: The Second Nemesis in Life Appears Chapter 1033: Chapter 1036: The Second Nemesis in Life Appears But he had always been the type to act on his impulses.
He hesitated for only half a second before reaching out again.
The man's slender fingertips gently rested on the strip of black cloth covering the little girl's face.
Feeling the little girl's fearful trembling, he softened the pressure of his touch.
Gently, slowly, he pulled the cloth down from her face.
A pair of tear-filled, deep blue, peach-blossom eyes were exposed before Aidan Lucas.
The child's plump face, with lips tightly clenched out of fear, quivered gently.
The tears had soaked her curly eyelashes, which fluttered slightly.
Two large teardrops rolled down her delicate eyelids.
Aidan Lucas was stunned.
For the first time, in addition to the woman, there was another precious one before him that he had no idea how to deal with.
Upon seeing the little girl's face, the emotions that surged in his heart weren't rage or cruelty, but a deep sense of heartache.
He wanted to pull the little lad's head into his embrace.
He wanted to comfort her gently, wishing only that she would not cry.
Even with blue eyes, this child was clearly a miniaturized version of Lily.
In front of her, the man could not harbor the slightest hint of anger.
He wished he could hold her in the palm of his hand, cherish her in his mouth, and melt her into his heart.
“Baby…” Aidan Lucas almost blurted out a term of endearment.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, he controlled himself.
“You… don't be scared. Uncle isn't a villain, stop crying…”
The man's cold, emotionless heart was nearly melting because of the child's tears.
Watching the glistening teardrops fall from the little baby's eyes, he felt his heart shatter.
However.
Aidan Lucas had lowered his stance and spoke softly in rare coaxing tones, but it seemingly had the opposite effect.
Lulu, upon seeing the clearly intimidating, icy-faced adult kidnapper, had been holding back her tears until then.
But once Aidan Lucas told her not to cry.
She suddenly burst into loud wailing.
So terrifying!
This uncle seemed even more frightening than Uncle Richard Coldwell!
She could feel the aggressive chill emanating from him, and a sense of menace even more terrifying than Uncle Coldwell.
Abbie had been hurt by them!
This uncle was a villain!
Lulu, overwhelmed with fear, saw her tightly wound nerves finally snap at the moment the cloth was pulled away and light flooded in.
“Wah–Wah–Mommy, Lulu wants Mommy–”
“Wah–Abbie–Lulu wants Abbie–Wah–”
The little girl screamed and wailed, showing no sign of stopping, her cries growing louder and louder.
Aidan Lucas, uncharacteristically, was actually startled by a child's crying.
In his life, he had never cared so much about a stranger.
Moreover, this was a stranger he generally disliked, a strange little girl who only made noise.
But now, he didn't think the little girl's crying was noise.
He just really, really wanted her to stop crying.
Her beautiful blue eyes were swollen from crying.
Her little nose had turned red as well.
And her throat was also clearly hoarse.
Aidan Lucas's second persona felt a profound pity.
In his life, he had never felt this way about anyone other than Lily.
Besides Lily, it was the first time someone else's crying could trouble his mind.
“You… don't cry, Uncle really… isn't a bad man.”
Aidan Lucas had never soothed a child, especially a little girl.
All he could do was awkwardly repeat the same dry phrase.
A man who usually could stop a child's crying with just a look,
But now, even with the little girl's noisy crying in his ears, he couldn't get angry at all.
[Author's Note] Update for May 18th is complete. I had something urgent today so I won't add more chapters, but I will try to write more tomorrow~ (Sorry, chapter 1033 was accidentally repeated twice earlier due to a system error, very, very sorry!)
