After following Aidan Lucas into the office, Lily Gray heard the door lock with a “click”, causing her to frown.
She was just about to tell him she wouldn’t take up too much of his time, but he unexpectedly moved closer.
“All…” Lily Gray exclaimed in surprise.
With one hand behind her neck and the other under her knees, Aidan Lucas easily lifted her in a princess-style embrace.
“Aidan Lucas, let me go!” She widened her charming peach blossom eyes, staring at the handsome face so close to hers, her cheeks flushing slightly.
But the next second, she recalled the moment Joan Wellington had clung to his arm.
Like being doused in a bucket of cold water from head to toe, her quietly stirring heart turned ice-cold in an instant.
“You just recovered a little bit…” Aidan Lucas didn’t notice Lily Gray’s mood change. “1 don’t feel at ease if I don’t hold you.”
After saying that, he sat down on the sofa with Lily Gray naturally settling into his embrace.
Lily Gray thought to herself, let him hold me if he wants, after all, he’s the real money spender.
But as she lowered her eyes, her gaze accidentally swept across a delicate item peeking out from the corner of the sofa.
It was a newly released limited-edition lipstick with a soft pink color, perfect for young girls.
Immediately, she thought of Joan Wellington waiting outside the door. Such a color would suit her perfectly.
Was she…sitting on this sofa too just a moment ago…?
Her peach blossom eyes dropped even lower, feeling her heart twisting in an unexplained way.
“So you came looking for me just to be an ostrich, huh?” Aidan Lucas saw the small head buried against his chest and couldn’t help but smirk.
This adorable woman had been avoiding him since returning from the hospital.
He knew she was shy, so he had intentionally given her enough space to regain her composure.
He didn’t make any advances on her outside just now because he knew she was thin-skinned in front of others.
If he had known she would still feel shy indoors, he might as well have carried her inside from the door.
“No… I’m not…” she murmured, remembering the reason she had come.
Three million dollars, mother’s relics, she had to exchange them for three million!
Not having time to deal with her chaotic emotions, Lily Gray suddenly looked up and actively climbed onto Aidan Lucas’s chest, reaching up and wrapping her arms around his neck.
With him holding her close, their foreheads touching and their eyes meeting, rhinestones grazing rhinestones, lips…
Aidan Lucas’s cool, thin lips were inches away.
He looked down into the eyes of the small woman in his arms, his lips slowly curling into a devilish smile. “It seems Mrs. Lucas made a special trip to the company because she missed Mr. Lucas, huh?”
At the end of the word “huh”, his voice rose in pitch, and the low, magnetic sound caused Lily Gray’s heart to tremble.
Suppressing the infatuation welling up in her heart, she remained silent while suddenly tightening her grip around the man’s neck.
As the man’s detailed features enlarged before her eyes, Lily Gray blinked, her curly lashes fluttering like butterfly wings in front of Aidan Lucas’s eyes.
In the next instant, he was kissed by his woman for the first time, her lips actively seeking his.
As the soft, pliant lips pressed against his, Aidan Lucas paused for a moment.
After a brief instant of stiffness, his body relaxed, and he began enjoying Lily Gray’s rare act of obedience.
Gazing at the enchanting and seductive woman in his arms, Aidan Lucas, for the first time, harbored the idea of hiding her at home so that no one else could see her.
Although the idea was childishly laughable.
Eventually, the tender kiss evolved into a wild, passionate one, and it wasn’t until Lily Gray was gasping for breath that Aidan Lucas reluctantly ended it.
He couldn’t help but think of Mr. Hammond’s meaningful reminder before she left the hospital.
“Pregnant women should avoid shortness of breath.”
Looking at the panting little one in his arms, Aidan Lucas decided to resist temptation for now..
