Chapter 1397: Chapter 1394: If Acting Cute Doesn’t Work, Then Show Off (Extra 2)

Lily guessed right, Aidan Lucas’s "adorable in the morning" syndrome had struck again.

However, this time, it wasn’t an unintended accident; rather, it was deliberate.

After Lily ran away last night, Aidan Lucas spent the night alone in an ’empty room,’ pining for her.

To bring his wife back quickly, Aidan knew he had to swiftly deal with David Redington, the "roadblock" in his way.

But although Aidan Lucas could humble himself before his wife, it was hard for him to bow down to others.

Especially as Mr. Lucas, who was used to being superior, was naturally colder and harder than others.

It was okay for him to sit down and properly face off with David Redington.

But to grovel and apologize to David Redington was an extremely difficult thing.

However, to win his wife back, no matter how difficult it was, Mr. Lucas had to find a way to achieve it.

Thus, he thought of using his own chronic "adorable in the morning" issue.

During the time just after waking up, he was always the most agreeable.

Temper soft, character amiable—whether it was showing attentiveness or speaking kindly, he could definitely make David Redington feel thoroughly pampered.

Holding onto this, Aidan Lucas knocked on David Redington’s door early this morning.

Intending to humble himself and appease this "brother-in-law."

Unexpectedly, not only was David Redington unmoved, he regarded him with a wary gaze from beginning to end.

"Let go, don’t you dare hug my sister!"

David, unappreciative of Aidan Lucas’s attentiveness, just felt tormented by him all morning.

Already carrying a bellyful of unreleased anger, he now saw Aidan Lucas daring to hug his precious sister in front of him.

Even ’forcefully kissing’ his treasure, he immediately lost his temper.

"You, let go of Lily!" David pulled Aidan Lucas away and shielded Lily in his arms.

"Lily, are you all right?"

"I’m fine, brother..." Lily hesitated, her eyes somewhat worriedly on Aidan Lucas.

"Brother, wait... Aidan Lucas... he needs me now..." Lily couldn’t explain Aidan Lucas’s "adorable in the morning" syndrome to David.

Uncle Ray had once said that Mr. Lucas’s personality flaws must be kept secret, never to be known by anyone.

Lily pulled away from David’s hand and moved into Aidan Lucas’s embrace.

Aidan Lucas, just pulled away by David, his eyes gleaming slightly, was becoming colder by the moment.

His somewhat blurry eyes briefly closed.

When he opened them again, his deep, cold black pupils harbored an icy chill.

He looked down at the woman in his arms.

"How is it?" Lily asked softly, her tone tense.

Usually, Aidan Lucas’s "adorable in the morning" occurred in bed.

After waking up in the morning, he would hold her tightly, solicit her love, and even nibble on her ear, showering her with endless sweet nothings.

Even making love, he was somewhat gentler in the mornings compared to at night.

And the "adorable in the morning" would usually fade after they had tumbled in bed in the morning.

Sometimes when Lily wasn’t fully awake, it would be Aidan Lucas kissing and caressing her; she was too groggy to even know what he was doing.

Once his "adorable in the morning" wore off, he would get up, shower, and go to work.

It wouldn’t disturb Lily at all.

But Lily never knew what it was like for Aidan Lucas to carry his "adorable in the morning" into his daily life, nor did she know how long such a condition would take to disappear.

Aidan Lucas saw the worry on Lily’s face and slightly curved his lips, "Don’t worry, it’s all right now."

His gaze intense, in his dark, deep eyes, there wasn’t a trace of purity or goodwill.

"Unfortunately, the plan failed." He lowered his head, whispering in Lily’s ear, "I didn’t manage to move your brother."

After speaking, the man looked up, his gaze shifting to David standing behind Lily.

His hand around Lily’s waist, unabashedly tightened in front of David.
