“Young Lady, it’s almost dinner time. Do you want to eat first, or should you call Mr. Lucas?” In the evening, Ellie went upstairs to knock on the door, her tone clearly expecting Lily Gray to make a phone call to Aidan Lucas.

“I’ll eat first.” Lily Gray rubbed her sleepy eyes.

Ellie showed disappointment on her face, “Alright then, I’ll go downstairs to prepare first, and you can take your time coming down.”

Lily Gray nodded and waited for Ellie to leave before revealing a thoughtful expression on her face.

Should she call Aidan Lucas to ask if he’s coming home?

Never mind, better not to call. They were just in a cooperative relationship. What he needed from Mrs. Lucas was someone who wouldn’t ask about his whereabouts or question his actions.

What would it mean if she called him?

Lily Gray pursed her lips, got out of bed, washed her face, and then went downstairs to have dinner.

Meanwhile, Aidan Lucas had just finished working overtime and was leaving his office.

Samuel Mckinley respectfully approached him, “Mr. Lucas, are you going back to the villa?”

Miss Wellington had tried to make plans with Mr. Lucas again that afternoon, but this time, she was refused.

Samuel Mckinley assumed that Mr. Lucas would go home for dinner tonight. After all, there had been a huge commotion last night, and even he had received a call from Madam and was severely reprimanded.

Aidan Lucas’s deep eyes sank slightly, “Go to the King’s Palace, book a room, and have dinner in the room.”

Samuel Mckinley’s heard it and almost froze.

Aidan Lucas was going to have dinner at the Seven-star King’s Palace Hotel tonight? And spend the night there?

What about the Young Lady?!

Samuel Mckinley dared not ask any more questions, so he just bowed his head and led the way for Aidan Lucas, but deep down, he was considering whether he should secretly call Madam.

He had received quite a scolding the day before.

Most importantly, after being scolded by Madam, his family’s old man had specifically called him to scold him again.

No matter how Samuel Mckinley thought about it, he felt wronged. The relationship between Aidan Lucas and the Young Lady was merely contractual, but only Aidan Lucas, Mr. Fenton the lawyer, and Samuel Mckinley knew about this now.

Mr. Fenton was fine, living far away.

However, Samuel Mckinley was close to Aidan Lucas; if his secret was revealed in the future, he had no idea what kind of reprimanded he’d receive from his old man, Madam, and the old lady.

Samuel Mckinley lamented all the way, completely unaware that Aidan Lucas was holding his cell phone and constantly fiddling with it.

His slightly gloomy gaze fell on the screen, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and his lips pressed into a straight line. It was clear that he was in a bad mood.

The man’s gaze occasionally swept over the cell phone screen, as if he was waiting for someone’s call, but it also seemed just like a casual glance.

It wasn’t until Aidan Lucas arrived at the hotel and had dinner in the Presidential Suite on the top floor that his phone remained silent.

At the villa, after Lily Gray finished her porridge, she returned to her room after being accompanied by a servant on a walk in the small garden.

When Ellie saw her come in, she immediately came over.

“Young Lady, it’s already past eight o’clock, and Mr. Lucas still hasn’t come home. Should we give him a call?”

Lily Gray looked up at the clock, with the hour hand pointing exactly at “8.”

“It’s fine. It’s only eight o’clock, still early.”

Feeling helpless, Ellie stepped back.

“Knock knock knock— ”

“Come in.” Lily Gray was watching television while leaning against the bed.

Ellie entered the room, holding a small bowl of cut fruit.

Now, besides porridge, Lily Gray could only eat fruit without feeling discomfort.

“Young Lady, this is your late-night meal.” Ellie attentively placed the fruit plate on the nightstand and said, “Young Lady, it’s past nine o’clock, and Mr. Lucas hasn’t come back yet. Do you want to call him?”

Lily Gray: “No need. If he’s not coming back, there must be a reason. He’s probably very busy with work. I don’t want to disturb him.”

Ellie:

Helpless, Ellie could only retreat once more.

At the same time, in the Seven-star King’s Palace Hotel on the top floor, Aidan Lucas was holding a wine glass, standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, staring with an indiscernible expression at the splendid city lights below.

His eyebrows were furrowed, his facial features profound, and the shadows of light and darkness cast a mysterious and forbidding layer across his whole face.

Just then, the cell phone that had been sitting on the table suddenly vibrated..</p
