He had warned her about this topic when they first got together.
Aidan Lucas never thought that after several months, they would need to discuss this issue again.
The feeling was terrible.
It was like everything had returned to the starting point.
“If I shouldn’t call you that, then 1 should…” Lily Gray continued along with his words.
But she abruptly stopped.
Such a conversation felt all too familiar.
It seemed like they had had such a conversation before.
While she was in a daze, she heard the man’s deep voice.
“I’ve warned you before that this title is wrong. If you want me to help you, you have to show some sincerity. Think carefully…how did 1 tell you to address me in the past?”
He could force himself not to be affectionate towards her.
He could force himself to be distant and cold to her.
But he couldn’t stand her being cold and calling him Mr. Lucas.
She was his wife, Lily Gray; how could she call him Mr. Lucas like a stranger?
Lily Gray blinked in confusion, recalling the words he had said before.
That’s right, he had said it.
He didn’t want her to call him Mr. Lucas.
She could only call him…
“Husband…”
That soft, gentle “husband” inadvertently slipped out from her throat.
She was just reminiscing, but then carelessly…
Aidan Lucas’s cold mouth finally curved up.
His dark eyes also regained some warmth.
“Mm.” He nodded.
“Don’t worry, Mrs. Lucas. I will bring your friend back for you. That’s it for now; I’ll hang up.”
Even after the voice on the other side of the phone had gone silent, Lily Gray remained in an extreme state of confusion.
What had just happened to her?
How could she have so easily called Aidan Lucas “husband”?
Weren’t they… in the midst of a cold war?
They had only just met a few days ago as if they were strangers.
But just now on the phone, why did she feel that Aidan Lucas’s voice was filled with a subtle, indescribable tenderness?
Lily Gray felt her mind was in chaos.
It was so chaotic that she could no longer think about Skye Brown’s situation!
She shook her head vigorously, desperately trying to cast the image that shouldn’t have appeared out of her mind.

On the other side, after hanging up, Aidan Lucas immediately called Dylan Wellington.
As expected, his phone was off.
He furrowed his brows, a hint of a different color flashing through his bottomless black pupils.
Why would lan Moore have anything to do with Lily’s friend?
“BOSS, the heads of the various branches inside are still waiting to report to you. What do you think…”
Since Samuel McKinley was not in the country, secretary Elsa Collins had to come and interrupt Mr. Lucas’s thoughts.
This meeting was different from the usual ones.
The Royal Palace Group had hundreds of branches worldwide. The heads of these branches were usually very busy, and it was rare for all of them to gather at the Headquarters for a meeting. It only happened once a year on average.
From the beginning of Aidan Lucas’s reign over the Royal Palace, he had set a rule that no one was allowed to leave or answer external calls during such meetings.
But this time, he had broken the rule himself.
Aidan Lucas’s brows furrowed deeper when he heard Elsa Collins’s words.
After a few seconds of silence, he said sharply, “Tell them to take an hour break. I’ll be back for the meeting in an hour.”
After saying that, he didn’t care about the secretary’s shocked expression and strode away from the scene.
He had to make a personal trip to the Wellington family. If lan Moore really caused trouble, his subordinates wouldn’t be able to stop him.
But most importantly, that girl named Skye Brown was Lily’s friend.
He didn’t want to disappoint her friends..
