Chapter 501: Chapter 504: Another “Night Visit to the Lady’s Chamber”
The city’s night fell, and this was the third night after Lily Gray moved out of the Lucas family home.
Lily Gray had dinner, hugged her pillow, and sat alone on the sofa watching television.
In the kitchen, Ellie was busy with the servants.
The large villa suddenly felt empty and deserted.
Lily hugged her pillow, forcing herself to suppress the inexplicable heartache.
What was this feeling of emptiness? Why hadn’t she felt it before?
It had been three days since she moved out of the Lucas family home.
Against her expectations, the man she thought would harass her incessantly never appeared even once.
Ha…
With an almost imperceptible sneer, Lily Gray thought, why did her thoughts drift back to that man?
He wasn’t sincere about her to begin with.
Did she really expect him to put his pride aside and come to console her?
Suppressing emotions she shouldn’t have, Lily gently stroked her slightly protruding belly.
In a soft voice, she tenderly spoke to the baby in her womb, “Baby, be good, from now on, it’s just the two of us, mother and child. Don’t worry, mommy will protect you…”
That night, Lily Gray was tired early and went to bed after taking a shower before ten o’clock.
At eleven twenty-five, the villa’s front door was opened.
“Young Master, come in quickly…” Ellie gestured to Aidan Lucas, who was waiting outside the door, in a low voice.
The man swiftly entered the door.
Two bodyguards stationed inside the door saw Aidan Lucas and quickly lowered their heads.
Cough, their mission was to guard against any unwanted people.
Of course, Mr. Lucas did not fall into the category of “unwanted people.”
Aidan Lucas entered the villa, his first time visiting the Gray family’s old manor.
After briefly taking in the surroundings, he lowered his voice and asked Ellie, “How long has the Young Lady been asleep?”
“Over an hour.” Ellie gently closed the door, her face showing anxiety, “Young Master, just take a peek at the bedside. Don’t wake the Young Lady; if she wakes up and vents her anger on me…”
Ellie had been entrusted with the heavy responsibility of taking care of the Young Lady’s health, and she absolutely could not afford to be dismissed.
Aidan’s eyes grew cold, but knowing Ellie’s difficulties, he eventually softened his tone.
“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. Even if Lily wakes up, she won’t know it’s you who let me in.”
At these words, Ellie’s old face twitched.
Had the Young Master already prepared to wake the Young Lady?
What was he going to do!?

Aidan Lucas took a shower in an empty guest room, put on a robe, and without hesitation, headed towards Lily Gray’s bedroom.
Three days was too hard to bear.
He had specifically called Ellie tonight to say he wanted to come and see Lily.
In truth, he was prepared for a “long-term struggle.”
He had seen the light. What Samuel Mckinley said was nonsense.
Lily was his wife in the first place. It was natural and reasonable for a husband and wife to live together.
Why should he avoid her, hide from her, and give her the so-called “adaptation period”!?
If Lily had lost her memory, he would simply spoil her, cherish her, and treat her well again.
She could fall for him the first time, and she could fall for him a second time.
Upon reaching the bedroom door, with this realization, Aidan Lucas directly opened the door and walked in.
*
The room was still pitch black.
The woman on the bed was sleeping soundly, just like she always did.
Listening carefully, her faint breathing could still be heard.
Feeling Lily Gray’s familiar presence…
Aidan Lucas, as if bewitched, unconsciously slowed his steps and walked to the bedside.
Lily…
He missed her so much.
