Chapter 282: Chapter 285: Mrs. Lucas, you’re finally willing to come back
Translator: 549690339
Seeing her like this, Skye knew that Lily was thinking about Aidan Lucas.
She couldn’t help but tease: “You just got married not long ago, and now you’re already speaking on his behalf. Alright, alright, I won’t stop you. 1 know you want to rush home. Go ahead!”
Lily gave her best friend an apologetic look and hurriedly walked away.
She was the representative of the host and should have attended the celebration banquet.
Moreover, Skye was a newcomer, and she should have helped her out.
But when she was on stage earlier, she had silenced her cell phone and put it in her bag.
Now she realized there were several missed calls from Aidan Lucas.
She had promised him to behave and stay at home.
However, because of Vivian Walters, the press conference was rescheduled and moved up.
She sneaked out halfway…
Thinking of the gloomy look in that man’s eyes when he found out she sneaked out, Lily couldn’t help but quicken her pace.
As soon as she walked out of the venue, she saw a low-key but extremely luxurious black luxury car parked not far from the intersection.
That was the Lucas family’s car, and she had contacted the driver in advance, knowing that he was waiting for her in the car.
Just then, a clear, magnetic male voice came from behind.
“Lily, wait.”
David Redington had somehow followed her out of the venue.
It was already nine o’clock at night.
Some fans had already found out about the celebration banquet at the hotel and had brought a large group of people to “occupy” the place in advance.
By now, quite a few people had left the vicinity of the venue. Lily had texted the driver to park the car at the side entrance.
At the moment, besides the streetlight and the black luxury car on the roadside, Lily Gray and David Redington were the only ones at the entrance.
“David, why did you come out?” He should have been inside as the main attraction.
Lily couldn’t help but worry. She didn’t want him to think she, as the organizer, was neglecting him when he saw her leave.
While she was about to explain, David had already walked up to her.
Before Lily could speak, a black and gray cashmere scarf wrapped around her neck.
The high-quality cashmere was warm, shielding her from the cold outdoors.
David’s slender fingers wrapped the scarf around her neck.
The men’s scarf was too long, and he had to wrap it three times. He stopped after making sure her face was covered by the scarf.
Lily had never been so tenderly wrapped in a scarf by a man before.
Even though she had no other feelings for David, her cheeks still instinctively turned red.
Her blushing cheeks, out of shyness, looked a few shades more adorable and beguiling than usual.
“David… this is your scarf. 1 can’t…”
She hurriedly tried to remove the scarf from her neck, but David held her back.
“Don’t take it off.”
He held down her slender fingers and looked at her.
Her watery, peach blossom-like eyes peeked out from the scarf, making it hard not to be drawn by them.
“Skye told me you have to leave earlier. It’s cold now, and you’re not dressed warmly enough.” David resisted the urge to kiss her.
He was afraid of scaring her if he moved too fast.
Lily felt very uncomfortable with this version of David.
She was used to the impetuous and rebellious silver-haired young man.
It was difficult for her to handle the sudden change from his willfulness to this tenderness and thoughtfulness.
The words of rejection were stuck in her throat.
However, seeing his simply caring gaze, she hesitated again.
Nevermind. David had good intentions. If she rejected the scarf outright, it would embarrass him.
After returning to the car, she would take off the scarf.
“Thank you. You should go back first. 1 have a car waiting to pick me up, and they’re waiting for you at the celebration banquet.”
Lily pointed to the black luxury car not far away and told him.
David looked up, and his eyes darkened.
“Alright, I’ll go back first. You take care of yourself.”
After saying this, David turned around and went back.
Only after seeing his tall figure disappear into the gate did Lily turn around and walk toward the car.
As soon as she opened the car door, she saw a familiar figure in the back seat.
Aidan Lucas, who should not have been there, had a thin, gloomy smile on his face: “Mrs. Lucas, you finally decided to come back..”
