Chapter 530: Chapter 533: Well-intentioned Lies
“Well… Lily, Aidan Lucas said that he wants you to focus on taking care of the baby and resting well for now… And when he has time, he will come to see you again.”
“Come to see me when he has time?”
She really didn’t understand why the man, who had just seen her and was clearly nervous, would say such a thing.
“Skye, are you guys hiding something from me?”
“No, really not…”
“Yeah, sister-in-law, Ethan Wilson just came and everything was fine. If there was something wrong, could we hide it from you?… You know, we’re all on your side. He had to leave in a hurry because he received a call and had to fly abroad temporarily. Just now, he solemnly entrusted you to our care for a while. If you don’t believe me, ask Skye and Joan…”
Lily Gray looked suspiciously at Skye Brown and Joan Wellington.
The two of them immediately nodded their heads.
“It’s true, Lily! Even if you don’t believe Ian Moore, you should at least trust me and Joan.”
It was only because of Skye Brown and Joan Wellington’s assurances that Lily Gray let go of the doubts in her heart.

That night, Aidan Lucas called as well.
He told her he had to leave suddenly to catch a flight.
Now that he had just landed, he immediately called her.
The stone hanging in Lily Gray’s heart finally fell.
“Lily, focus on taking care of the baby at home. There’s a temporary issue with the branch company overseas. I’ll be back once I handle it.”
“Mhm, don’t worry… I’ll take good care of myself and the baby.” Lily Gray had already returned to Gray family after her hospital check-up, and there were no serious problems.
She sat on the sofa, holding a pillow, “Ethan, when you come back, let’s have a good talk. There’s something I want to tell you.”
She wanted to continue the conversation she didn’t finish in the Royal Palace office that day.
Aidan Lucas could be honest with her about Hannah Ford’s matter, but at that time, he refused to tell her the real reason he wanted to divorce her on the night of the banquet.
After getting angry and feeling lost, she had thought it all through again.
What problems, if they continued to avoid and not confront, would always be a barrier between them.
So she wanted to have a good talk with Aidan Lucas when he came back.
The breathing of Aidan Lucas on the other end of the phone imperceptibly paused for a moment upon hearing her words.
Unfortunately, Lily Gray didn’t notice.
After a few seconds, she heard Aidan Lucas’s low and cold voice come through the phone.
“Alright… when I come back, let’s have a good talk.”
“Mhm, okay!” Lily Gray sweetly smiled.

After hanging up the phone, Skye Brown came closer.
To take care of Lily Gray, she was staying at the Gray family now, too.
“How’s your husband? What did he say?”
“Ethan said he’s abroad now. He’s handling some business for the company overseas, and he’ll be back once it’s all taken care of.”
Lily Gray adjusted her position to a more comfortable one and looked at Skye Brown, “Skye, is it really okay for you to stay here with me? Actually, Ellie is here to take care of me, so you don’t have to stay with me.”
“Oh, come on, Lily, are you trying to get rid of me now? I just want to stay here and accompany you…”
“Oh, my dear Skye, how could I ever get rid of you? I was only asking because I saw Mr. Wellington’s pitiful look when he drove us back, and I was worried about causing trouble between you two.”
“Don’t worry about Ian Moore… ” Skye Brown casually waved her hand, “With Ellie’s great cooking skills, I just love eating and living here!”
After saying this, Skye Brown stood up pretending to pour water.
In fact, she was guiltily avoiding Lily Gray’s gaze.
Since Aidan Lucas was ‘not in A City,’ Lily Gray naturally wouldn’t go back to their love nest.
She didn’t feel like moving right now, so if no one asked her to go back, she would continue staying at the Gray family.
Skye Brown, Joan Wellington, and Ian Moore had all talked about it, and at least, Skye and Joan would take turns staying with Lily Gray here.
They must absolutely prevent Lily from finding out that the woman, Hannah Ford, was about to move into the Blue Bay Estates villa.
