Chapter 1173: Chapter 1176: Stealing a Kiss from Aidan Lucas (Additional 6) Chapter 1173: Chapter 1176: Stealing a Kiss from Aidan Lucas (Additional 6) Aidan Lucas had just seated himself when a sudden waft of perfume struck his nose.
Lily Gray invited herself to sit on his right.
Backstage earlier, they had been far apart, so Aidan Lucas hadn't smelled her perfume.
But now, she was right beside him.
The scent emanating from her, however, made Aidan involuntarily furrow his brows.
Since when had she started using such a vulgar perfume?
He still remembered her former scent–sweet yet unobtrusive. Bending over her hair and taking it in only made it seem enticingly serene.
“Ethan…” Vivian Walters had sat for a while when, seeing that Aidan Lucas had remained silent, assumed he had implicitly agreed to her presence.
She called out sweetly, mimicking Lily Gray's mannerisms by tilting her head and fluttering her doe eyes at him.
After all, Vivian Walters had been Lily Gray's best friend and roommate.
Her imitation of Lily Gray was somewhat convincing.
However, her attempt to imitate Lily didn't capture Aidan Lucas's attention in the slightest.
He continued to look straight ahead, as if no one was beside him.
“Ethan…” This time, Vivian turned up the intensity.
When Aidan ignored her, she called his name again in an even more coquettish and pitiful tone.
Not just that, she also gently tugged on Aidan's sleeve.
The soft, seductive voice drew sidelong glances from the people around them.
“Miss Gray, if you don't let go now, I won't be polite.”
Aidan finally turned to look at her, his gaze cold and indifferent as if he was looking at an inanimate object.
Vivian Walters gasped in fright at his chilling look.
“You… Ethan, don't say one thing and mean another. I'm sitting here, and you haven't driven me away… I know you still love me.”
Vivian Walters knew being outright aggressive wouldn't work, so she deliberately softened her tone, cooing at him.
She mimicked the way Lily Gray used to wheedle around her and Skye Brown, thinking she got it perfectly.
But Aidan Lucas coldly withdrew his gaze, “You truly overestimate yourself, a stranger's seating choice is none of my concern.”
It was because he regarded her as inconsequential that he didn't bother with where she chose to sit.
“You…”
Vivian gritted her teeth and suddenly raised her voice, “Aidan Lucas, how can you be so cruel! I am your wife, just because I disappeared for three years after the bombings, you treat me like this? Have you ever considered that I am also a victim?”
“Very well, so this was your purpose in lying.”
She painted the fact that she deserted her family and cruelly left as being compelled.
“I… I didn't lie…” Vivian panicked.
She thought she had revealed something that let Aidan Lucas catch on to her deceit.
Vivian desperately tried to explain, her pitch rising increasingly, drawing the attention of many, but Aidan Lucas no longer spared her a glance.
She helplessly realized that this man truly had no interest in her whatsoever.
No, this wouldn't do, she couldn't just let it end like this.
Even if Aidan Lucas had no interest in her now, she refused to believe that affection couldn't develop over time.
She had to solidify her role as Mrs. Lucas, especially at an occasion like today, she wanted everyone to see!
Thinking this, a determined glint flashed through her meticulously crafted doe eyes.
If Aidan Lucas wouldn't look at her, that only provided her with an opportunity.
Vivian Walters suddenly sat up straight, tilted her head and leaned towards Aidan Lucas's handsome, deep-set face.
His firm, thin lips were within inches.
She was going to kiss him, to kiss him…
“Hey, who gave you the audacity to flirt with my man under the broad daylight?”
A slender hand blocked between Vivian Walters and Aidan Lucas.
