Translator: 549690339
Lily Gray, who was far away in M Country, was naturally unaware of what was going on in A City.
Aidan Lucas had originally planned to stay in M Country for just a week, but due to his busy work schedule, his stay was extended by another week longer than expected.
At this moment, Lily Gray was on a private jet preparing to return to A City. She hadn’t seen Aidan in nearly two weeks.
As she stole glances at the man sitting across the aisle, for some reason, it seemed to Lily that Aidan had somehow changed.
His striking and exquisite facial features were still the same. Sitting by the window, Aidan was frowning at a laptop on his table. The soft cabin lights shed a gentle glow on him, enveloping him in a noble and elegant aura.
Yet, he seemed much colder than when they had parted ways two weeks ago.
Her eyesight had fully recovered, allowing her to catch even the slightest change in his expressions.
This morning, Aidan had abruptly sent someone to pick her up from the hospital; without any prior notice, without any discussion – he displayed a cold indifference, as if dealing with a stranger.
At the airport, upon seeing her, Aidan’s behavior was so indifferent it felt odd.
Indeed, when he had left A City, their relationship was quite… different.
But now, upon seeing her, he merely greeted her with a cold nod of his head. After that, he plunged into his work, never once looking directly at her from beginning to end.
Why was that?
Supporting her cheek with one hand, Lily looked over at him, her lively eyes roving over his face.
Just two weeks after their “honeymoon”, she was already being neglected by her “husband”. Could it be that once the plane landed and they returned to A City, Lucas would suddenly announce that he had changed his mind, and wanted a divorce?
If that happened, even receiving a hefty alimony wouldn’t make up for her loss.
If she couldn’t take revenge on those who had bullied her, if she couldn’t win back everything the Gray family owned, no amount of money would satisfy her.
As she hooked a stray lock of hair behind her ear and unbuckled her seatbelt, Lily Gray stood up.
The plane cruised steadily in mid-air. However, just as Lily walked past Aidan, the plane suddenly experienced a slight turbulence.
She was purposely trying to gauge Aidan’s unusual behavior when the plane jolted suddenly. Without hesitation, Lily Gray allowed herself to lean towards him, just in time to be caught by a strong arm around her waist.
Aidan Lucas finally looked up at her. This was the first time he had looked directly at her since their two-week separation.
“Be careful,” he said, his voice cool and distant.
Suspicious, very suspicious.
Although he had steadied her, Lily, caught off guard by the detached tone of his voice, staggered towards him again.
She lost her balance and fell into his arms.
“Um, sorry… 1 slipped…”
Lily Gray was leaning against him, her face buried in his chest.
A delicate scent, not belonging to him or her, wafted into her nose.
It was the scent of a woman’s perfume; the top note was William pear, the middle note white vast waves, and the base hedione.
Lily’s sense of smell was sharp; perhaps due to her past poor eyesight, she always had good recall for scents.
She recognized the fragrance. It was a limited edition perfume recently launched by a luxury brand. An ounce cost almost four hundred fifty dollars, seventy-five million M dollars.
There were very few women in A City who owned this perfume. So why did Aidan Lucas’s collar smell like it now?
So… She supported herself up and looked at Aidan Lucas.
Was this the reason for his cold behavior towards her?
Lily Gray suddenly found the situation amusing. Cheating after quick consummation, Mr. Lucas was indeed in good spirits..
