As Emily Taylor arrived at the villa entrance, she saw Aidan Lucas’s car parked in front of the door.

Aidan Lucas probably hadn’t received the news yet and lazily got out of the car, looking somewhat surprised to see Emily Taylor.

“Mom, why did you come here so late?”

Emily Taylor squinted at her son, “I came to see my daughter-in-law. In case someone doesn’t care about her and she faints at home without anyone knowing.”

At the sound of these words, Aidan Lucas’s face suddenly darkened.

Without saying anything, he headed inside with a cold expression.

Emily Taylor stepped forward to block Aidan Lucas’s path.

“Mom, what are you doing?” He lowered his head and narrowed his eyes. In contrast to Emily Taylor’s gentle and watery gaze, Aidan Lucas’s eyes were more narrow and heartless.

In a trance, Emily Taylor seemed to see the shadow of that person on his face.

This made her obstruction even firmer.

“I’m not doing anything, just want to ask you something.”

“Can’t it wait? I want to check on Lily first.” The usually emotionless man was rare to be so impatient.

When he had answered the phone earlier, although he deliberately maintained an indifferent attitude towards Lily Gray, he couldn’t help feeling annoyed after the phone suddenly ran out of battery and disconnected.

Joan Wellington, who was beside him, kept chattering non-stop. Occasionally, seeing his impatience, she skillfully changed the topic to Hannah Ford.

However, the once infallible strategy seemed futile this time.

Aidan Lucas sat for a while, and couldn’t help but think of Lily Gray’s timid eyes in his mind.

His heart felt suffocated, as if something was weighing him down, but he couldn’t find the reason.

Even though Joan talked a lot about Hannah’s life abroad today, he just couldn’t muster interest.

In the end, he left an hour earlier than planned, only to encounter a traffic jam halfway through and not arrive at Blue Bay Estates until now.

“No… you must explain things clearly to me today, or else I won’t let you go in!” Emily Taylor rarely dared to act so assertively in front of Aidan Lucas since he came of age.

But today was different. Although the person lying inside was just her daughter-in-law, the person standing in front of her was her own son.

The experiences of Lily Gray reminded Emily Taylor of her own youth. After all, Aidan Lucas carried the blood of that man. She feared he would become as cold and ruthless, repeating the same mistakes.

Aidan Lucas’s eyes gradually grew colder as he looked at Emily Taylor’s resolute expression. In a deep voice, he said, “What do you want to ask?”

Emily Taylor stared at him, coldly asking, “Where did you go tonight? Did you go to see that girl from the Wellington family?”

“Yes.” Aidan replied concisely without hesitation.

“…” Emily Taylor took a deep breath, her mood apparently not good, “Did you go to see her because of Hannah? Are you… still not over her?”

This time, Aidan Lucas’s deep black pupils were even colder than before, and it took him a few seconds to slowly open his mouth and say, “It was just a small gathering among friends. She just came back from abroad, so I treated her to dinner.”

Emily Taylor didn’t seem to believe his words, raising her eyes to discern the emotions in his eyes.

But what kind of person is Aidan Lucas? If he doesn’t want anyone to see through him, no one in the world can possibly see through his thoughts.

Even his biological mother was no exception.

Emily Taylor stared for a while but couldn’t find any clues on Aidan Lucas’s face, so she had to give up.

She sighed, “Aidan, when I was pregnant with you, I was also the same as Lily tonight. I was alone at home when I accidentally fell in the middle of the night. The room was empty, and I wanted to cry for help, but the pain prevented me from doing so. Luckily, Ellie came to check on me and found me lying on the ground.”

“Aidan, I almost lost you back then… But that man, he was busy taking care of another woman. Do you understand how I felt at that time? You… you can’t be like him. You absolutely can’t become a man like him.”

Hearing these words, the coldness in Aidan Lucas’s eyes gradually weakened.

“Mom, don’t worry… I won’t..”
