Chapter 544: Chapter 547: Lily, Aunt Is Doing This for Your Own Good (1)
“Lily…” Skye Brown didn’t know what to say.
Had Lily not asked, she would have kept on pushing herself to believe that she was only helping Lily and Aidan Lucas.
But as soon as Lily revealed a serious demeanor and asked her about it-
As a friend, she couldn’t lie to Lily.
“Alright, Skye, you don’t have to say anything. Let Rowena Gray and Milly Gray come in. I’ll talk to them personally.”
“How can you let them in, Lily? Don’t see them!”
“Why can’t I?” Lily Gray smiled, “Am I really that unbearable to look at?”
“Of course not, I didn’t mean that…”
Lily saw the bitterness at the corner of Skye’s mouth.
She knew that her last remark had been too harsh.
Immediately, she regretted it.
“I’m sorry, Skye. I went too far with what I said just now. But don’t worry. I’ll just sit with them for a while. There won’t be any problems. I’ll have bodyguards with me.”
Understood that Lily wouldn’t be satisfied until she got a clear answer, Skye had no choice but to give up resistance, “Alright then, just be careful.”

Soon, Rowena Gray and Milly Gray were led into the Gray family villa.
They had occupied the villa briefly in the past.
But now, upon re-entering, they found that they no longer had a place to stay.
The two of them were quickly escorted by a burly man in black to the study room.
In the study, Lily Gray lounged on one side of the sofa.
On both sides of the sofa, two burly bodyguards in black stood at attention.
Rowena Gray and Milly Gray’s gazes were immediately drawn to Lily Gray’s protruding belly.
“You… you’re pregnant?!” Rowena Gray even exclaimed in disbelief.
Lily glanced at her without saying anything, not wanting to answer the obvious question.
“Sit.” She casually pointed to the sofa opposite her with her chin.
Rowena Gray realized she had hit a sensitive topic.
Unable to say anything else and wanting to save face, she took Milly Gray with her and reluctantly sat across from Lily.
Fortunately, she had already thought of a new plan.
Before coming here, they didn’t know that Lily was pregnant.
But now…
Rowena Gray’s gaze once again rested on Lily Gray’s belly.
An even better idea formed in her mind.
“What exactly did you want to tell me today?”
Lily Gray’s face was cold, showing little emotion.
Perhaps because she was already suspicious earlier, hearing Milly Gray’s sudden shriek didn’t even provoke any anger.
Not only was she not angry, but she also began to wonder what Aidan Lucas was trying to do with this arrangement.
Lily Gray found herself helplessly realizing that it might be due to the influence of living with Aidan Lucas for so long.
Now, whenever she encountered an issue-
She liked to first probe the deeper reason behind it.
Instead of getting angry or upset impulsively.
While she was momentarily lost in thought-
Rowena Gray had already embellished and retold the scandalous rumors swirling outside about Aidan Lucas and Hannah Ford in front of Lily Gray.
“Well, that’s how things are… Lily, you have to believe me. Why would I harm you? We are still family after all. Aidan Lucas, he…”
Rowena Gray glanced warily at the nearby bodyguards in black.
Seeing that they remained expressionless without any changes, she continued, “Aidan Lucas, even though he was good to you before, he’s still an outsider in the end. Moreover, he’s a man… Men’s hearts are the hardest to grasp. Lily, I know talking to you about this today might upset you.”
