“Don’t worry, I said, I won’t touch you.”
The man’s deep gaze falls on her flawless white skin, with every inch it moves downwards, his black pupils grow deeper.
His large palm goes down with his gaze, finally stopping on her still flat belly.
Calculating the time, it’s probably two more weeks before she hits three months.
That is to say, he has to abstain for half a month more.
His deep eyes darken, and the tall and strong body covers her carefully with both hands supporting her head, avoiding her belly.
“Good girl, time to sleep.”
His kiss lands on the tip of her nose.
It’s incredibly gentle, unlike the wicked and indulgent way he was kissing her neck just moments ago.
After a gentle peck, he lies down beside her, wraps her in his arms, and lets her face rest on his strong chest.
Lily is completely dumbfounded on the spot.
The fire in his eyes is so obvious.
Even considering that she’s pregnant, she didn’t think he’d really do anything to her. Today, she probably couldn’t escape the fate of having to use her hand to help him relieve himself.
Who knew that after Aidan Lucas stripped both her and himself, he just wanted to hold her… and sleep?
“Sleep? But it’s still broad daylight…” she speaks up timidly.
As soon as she finishes, she regrets it.
Sleeping is definitely better than doing any of that with him.
Aidan Lucas, hearing the little one’s words, props an arm beside her head and looks down at her.
“If you’re not satisfied with me stopping halfway, we can continue.”
“No, I’m satisfied… satisfied…” She immediately covers her mouth with her hand and closes her eyes, pretending to be asleep.
She is curled up in his arms, not even daring to move a finger.
Aidan Lucas gazes at her, satisfied as she obediently closes her eyes.
He knows she is tired. Her morning sickness has only recently started to improve, and yet she is also busily dealing with Gray family affairs.
Last night, even with his orders to go to bed early, she didn’t sleep well.
She is too worried about the Gray family.
With plenty of time before the evening banquet, he simply decides to gently hold the woman and let her rest for a while.
After a while, when he hears her steady, even breathing, Aidan Lucas finally exhales a long breath.
He lowers his gaze to the blanket below, the dark mystery in his eyes replaced by a hint of bitterness.
A wry smile appears on the man’s handsome face.
Aidan Lucas, oh Aidan Lucas, you actually have a day like this.
Indeed, he has brought trouble upon himself…

Lily is indeed exhausted.
The situation of the Gray family is dire. Even after taking the company back and receiving Aidan Lucas’s help to pay off the large bank loans, the Gray family has been wounded to its core.
Many capable and hardworking senior employees were kicked out during Rowena Gray’s reign.
Those remaining are sycophants who only know how to brown-nose their way up the ranks but have mediocre skills.
During the Gray family crisis, even these bootlicking managers ran away, leaving only the shell of the Gray company and some middle to lower-tier employees.
Aidan Lucas has already helped her a lot, and Lily doesn’t plan to ask for his help again.
Because of this, she has been sleeping uneasily for the past few nights.
Today, when Aidan Lucas suddenly called her to the office, stripped her, and threw her onto the bed, she forgot her troubles in her extreme anxiety.
Lily sleeps in great satisfaction and comfort.
In her dreams, it feels as if she is wrapped in warm clouds.
Within the clouds, there seems to be a heat source that she can’t help but want to snuggle closer to..
