Chapter 628: Chapter 631: Aidan Lucas, am I unwanted now?
“Woo… Ethan Wilson… woo woo woo…”
Lily Gray threw herself into his arms, unable to suppress the deep sense of loss and fear that welled up within her.
She held his waist, feeling his strong arms tightly wrapping her in his embrace.
All she could do was bury her head in his chest and cry.
Her tears just wouldn’t stop.
Since childhood, she had always believed that she was upholding the Gray family property.
But now, she found that it was just her own wishful thinking.
It turned out she wasn’t a Gray family member at all.
She was just an orphan no one wanted.
“Lily, don’t be sad… your husband is here…” Aidan Lucas held her, gently patting her back with a heartache.
He wanted her to stop crying – how could a woman in her confinement period cry like this?
But he knew that postpartum was a time of high risk for depression.
If he made her hold back her tears, he was afraid she would be stifled and damaged.
Aidan Lucas had never been a man who knew how to coax women.
But when it came to coaxing Lily Gray, it seemed like he was a natural.
Even the struggling Gray family members, seeing this scene, were stunned.
It was their first time seeing Aidan Lucas like this.
People outside said that the head of the Lucas family was decisive, ruthless, and heartless.
In the past, countless women had thrown themselves at him.
But when had he ever shown them any courtesy?
Not to mention, his embracing Lily Gray now, gently kissing her and caressing her back, seemed even sweeter and more affectionate than an ordinary couple.
A flash of hurt crossed Milly Gray’s eyes.
Rowena Gray, however, shrewdly sensed a way for them to escape and even make a profit.
“Lily…you can’t just think of yourself! My brother and sister-in-law raised you so you could repay the Gray family when you grew up. Look at your husband, he’s going to sell us all in the black market now. If we’re gone, there will truly be no Gray family in the future!”
“Lily, are you really willing to see those of us with the Gray surname become extinct? And those Gray family possessions, you, an outsider, got them, but you didn’t leave anything for us Gray family members. With what you’re doing, aren’t you afraid that my brother will never rest in peace!?”
“Honey, don’t mind them. They’ve already sold the Gray family property a long time ago. Those things were bought back by you with your own money. Even if they want to go to court, you are the one who is right.”
While comforting Lily, Aidan Lucas gestured to Sebastian Lucas VII, “Why haven’t you taken them out yet!”
“Wait a minute…” Lily Gray suddenly grabbed Aidan Lucas’s sleeve, “Just drive them away. Don’t sell them to the black market.”
Actually, Rowena Gray was right; she owed the Gray family too much.
What she owed them might never be repaid in her lifetime.
“Lily…”
“Just drive them away, don’t bother with them anymore…” Lily Gray hugged the man’s strong waist and snuggled into his embrace, “I’m tired, Ethan. I want to rest.”
“Alright, let’s not bother with them. Let’s just drive them away first.”
Rowena Gray watched stubbornly as Sebastian Lucas VII led the Gray family members out. She had originally wanted to say a few more words to try and take the family property back.
Unfortunately, before she could finish speaking, she was casually gagged with a towel from the room by Sebastian Lucas VII and pushed out of the house.
Once the Gray family members had left, Aidan Lucas patiently coaxed Lily Gray. It took him quite a while before she gradually closed her eyes and fell asleep.
It was thought that this matter would just end like this.
But who knew, in the following days, Lily Gray became increasingly dispirited.
She would stare with her big eyes and gently ask him, “Ethan, do you think… my biological parents abandoned me because they didn’t love me? Am I a child that no one wants?”
