Translator: 549690339 I

When Lily Gray woke up the next day, she felt that all her tiredness and discomfort had been relieved.

Standing in front of the washstand, she rubbed her eyes slightly.

In the mirror, the woman with fair and translucent skin had clear peach blossom eyes, which were somewhat swollen compared to their usual appearance.

But she looked quite healthy overall.

Moreover, the redness and swelling of her eyes were much better than she had expected.

After wiping her face with a towel, Lily Gray smiled at the reflection in the mirror.

She thought that after crying so many tears, her eyes would be red and swollen when she woke up in the morning.

But now it seemed not as serious as she had imagined.

It was good – at least, it wouldn’t worry her mother.

As she thought of the gentle and tolerant woman, Lily Gray’s chilled eyes from the cold water almost turned red again.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to cry.

She encouraged herself in the mirror: “Lily Gray, cheer up… for the baby, for your mother and Madam Lucas, you must be strong and resilient!”

After adjusting her emotions, Lily Gray changed into clothes suitable for going out and headed downstairs to the restaurant.

Her mother had told her the night before that she would take her for a prenatal checkup today, so she couldn’t keep her mother waiting for too long.

As a result, as she reached the entrance to the restaurant, she encountered a tall figure unexpectedly.

Her pupils shrank suddenly.

Aidan Lucas, when did he… come back?

Since leaving last night, Aidan Lucas hadn’t returned, but now he was sitting at the dining table, eating breakfast in silence as if nothing had happened.

He was sitting next to Emily Taylor, and they quietly ate their breakfast.

Lily Gray paused her steps and stood at the entrance of the restaurant, suddenly unsure if she should enter.

The words he said still seemed to echo in her ears.

“I, Aidan Lucas, bought you with money, so you better clear this up… who is your real backer.”

She was just his merchandise.

He was the backer… the backer who hated her so much.

If she suddenly appeared, would she upset his leisurely mealtime?

“All, Lily is up…” As Lily Gray hesitated, Emily Taylor inside the restaurant had already noticed her figure.

“Lily, come quickly… Come sit here with your mother. Ellie, let the kitchen bring up the nourishing dishes.”

Emily Taylor was very attentive, and Lily Gray could not refuse, so she obediently sat next to Emily.

“Mom, good morning.” She greeted Emily.

Then she looked at Aidan Lucas.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she greeted Aidan Lucas as well, considering that Emily was sitting right next to her.

“Ethan… morning…”

Upon hearing her greeting, Aidan Lucas merely gave her a slight nod, without even sparing her a glance.

As expected, he despised her.

Lily Gray lowered her head and remained silent.

Thinking about Emily’s presence, she didn’t want to make her worry, so she forced a smile as though she didn’t care.

Nevermind. His return was probably not because of her.

Since Emily was around, even if Aidan Lucas hated her, he would return for her sake.

Ellie quickly brought over a steaming bowl of nourishing medicinal cuisine, which gave off a strong medicinal odor.

Since her morning sickness symptoms disappeared, Lily Gray’s appetite had slowly improved.

However, despite this, she found it difficult to swallow the medicinal cuisine before her, especially with the gloomy Aidan Lucas sitting across the table.

“Lily, eat more, it’s good for your body.”

Under Emily’s encouragement, she reluctantly took a couple of spoonfuls.

As she sipped the soup, she sneakily looked at Aidan Lucas sitting across from her.

He was wearing a clean and tidy white shirt, which, although very simple, accentuated Aidan Lucas’s stunningly handsome and chiseled features.

Despite his beautiful face, his entire demeanor seemed to be enveloped in an icy coldness.

To be honest, having such a cold and indifferent person sitting across made it quite impossible to have an appetite..
