Chapter 1388: Chapter 1385 Cunning Master Lu Plays Schemes (Extra 1)
Thinking about how she had just cried like a fool in Aidan Lucas’s arms,
Lily wished she could crawl into a hole.
How embarrassing, so embarrassing!
“Okay, brother… I’ll listen to you.”
Her brother was right, Aidan Lucas was deeply cunning and his acting was top-notch.
She was always outplayed by him, nowhere near his equal.
“Good girl.” David Redington gently kissed the top of Lily’s head, “You rest well, leave the rest to your brother.”
Aidan Lucas saw everything, how David stroked Lily’s face and whispered in her ear.
God knows, if it weren’t for the fact that this man was Lily’s brother and his future brother-in-law, Aidan Lucas might have already lost his patience and lashed out at David.
His little one, even he himself hadn’t had enough of holding her yet, and yet David could embrace her without any inhibition.
And not just a hug, he could even pinch and knead Lily’s delicate face.
Even though he knew they were siblings, the surge of jealousy still arose in his heart.
Aidan Lucas barely suppressed the rising tide of jealousy, was about to speak when his eyes were suddenly stung by the sight of David kissing Lily’s head.
“Lily—” Aidan Lucas suddenly called out.
David turned around, looking coldly at him, “Aidan Lucas, Lily doesn’t want to see you right now, the hurt you’ve caused her is already too much for you to deserve her anymore.”
He firmly blocked Aidan Lucas’s view, standing in front of Lily.
“I know.” Aidan Lucas suddenly spoke, his tone hollow.
He looked at David, his eyes showing defeat, “I know, I’ve wronged Lily. Mr. Redington is right, I indeed don’t deserve to have Lily anymore.”
Aidan Lucas’s tone sounded hopelessly despondent as if all hope was lost.
“Daddy…” Lulu quietly grasped Aidan Lucas’s hand.
Dad, don’t give up, please don’t give up.
Lulu had only just gotten her Dad, she wanted to be with her Dad, Mom, and her two brothers.
“It’s okay, Daddy.” Aidan Lucas bowed his head and gently touched Lulu’s cheek.
Aidan Lucas looked up again.
His gaze passed over David’s shoulder, he couldn’t see Lily, but his eyes were full of regrets.
“Lily.” Aidan Lucas spoke to the unseen figure, “Your brother is right, I truly don’t deserve you anymore…”
Aidan Lucas’s dark almond-shaped eyes were deep like deathly stillness at that moment.
He seemed to have given up all hope.
He lowered his eyelids, seeing the cyan brocade box in his hand, and suddenly revealed a rueful smile.
“Lily, I promise I won’t disturb you anymore… this is my last gift, please… accept it…”
David was about to refuse, but Abbie suddenly grabbed the cyan brocade box from Aidan Lucas’s hand.
“Dad, let me give it to Mom.”
Abbie saw his uncle’s dislike for the old man, but he thought the old man was so pitiful.
He loved Mom so much, yet uncle was opposing him.
Because of his uncle’s opposition, he was even being forced to give up now.
Although Abbie still had a ‘big move’ prepared to help the old man, it was too far to quench a nearby fire, seeing Aidan Lucas’s despondent sadness, he resolutely took the brocade box from his hands.
Abbie ran to Lily, David couldn’t stop him in time.
“Mommy, for you.”
The cyan small box was pushed into Lily’s hands by Abbie.
In Aidan Lucas’s downcast black pupils, a glint of keen light flashed.

After this, Aidan Lucas indeed did as he said, disappearing from Lily’s sight without any delay.
He no longer appeared, but Lily didn’t feel any relief; instead, the feeling of emptiness inside her only grew stronger.
“Lily, Abbie said Ben will be back this weekend. We’ll stay here for three days, and three days later when Ben returns, we’ll take him back to our own home with us.”
David knocked on the door and came in, Lily quickly put away the blue brocade box she was fiddling with in her hands.
