Chapter 1534: Chapter 1537: Treasuring One’s Own Beloved

After hearing what Aidan Lucas had to say, Lily couldn’t help but sigh, "I didn’t expect that in the end, it would be great-grandfather who personally kicked Mason Scott out of the house..."

"I thought he would defend Mason Scott with all his might and would stand by him till the end no matter what. After all, at the auction, even though Mason Scott unrecognizably turned his back on his kin, he at least saved great-grandfather’s face."

"It’s not that simple." Aidan Lucas massaged the head of the woman in his arms, unraveling the deeper significance behind this matter, crushing it, and explaining it to Lily.

"Your great-grandfather did indeed favor his only son, Mason Scott, but that was under the condition that it wouldn’t harm the fundamental interests of the Scott family. To him, what mattered most was the legacy of the Scott family. He stood with Mason Scott, which in practice also meant standing with Bella Scott, Tania Scott, and Thea Scott."

"To him, your mother had long been estranged from the Scott family. Even if she became a Duchess, it had no benefits for the Scott family."

"Your uncle has always listened to him. But whenever it involved your mother and yourself, Larry Scott would surely end up opposing him."

"Mr. Scott was very astute; he foresaw that Larry Scott wouldn’t unconditionally support him, which is why he wanted to cultivate a controllable heir. Such as Bella Scott, or perhaps Tania Scott and Thea Scott."

Lily was bright, Aidan Lucas only needed to explain a little for her to understand.

She looked up, leaning back to gaze at Aidan Lucas, comfortably snuggling in his embrace.

"You mean to say, the reason my great-grandfather drove Mason Scott away is because Mason messed with the people great-grandfather wanted to support anew? That is... Bella Scott, Tania Scott, and the others?"

Mason Scott dragging Bella Scott down with him at the auction spelt complete ruin for Bella.

"My Lily is indeed the cleverest, picking it up with just a hint." The man tightened his arms, generously praising her.

His thin lips nibbled and kissed at her ear.

Nibbling at her tender and round earlobes, he murmured, "Christopher Scott is old and senile, lacking in judgment. Among the younger generation of the Scott family, our Lily is clearly the most virtuous and talented, smart and quick-witted. If he really had insight, he would have chosen you for careful guidance."

"Unfortunately, he’s old, with short-sighted vision. After all his selection, he ended up with the least useful ones."

As people age, their resolution weakens.

They’re no longer as wise and fair as they were in their youth.

Tania Scott, Bella Scott, and even Thea Scott, are all of the same ilk.

They’re good at sweet-talking, skilled at flattery, always buttering up Christopher Scott.

On the contrary, neither Larry Scott, Sylvia Scott, nor Lily are adept at fawning flattery.

"It’s fine; after all, I don’t yearn for great-grandfather’s affection." Lily turned her head, cheek intimately pressing against his, their ears and temples rubbing against each other, indescribably tender and melancholic.

She knew that her man was voicing his indignation for her.

In Aidan Lucas’s view, even if Lily didn’t care about Mr. Scott’s favor, Christopher Scott choosing others over Lily was a disregard for her.

One treasures their own precious darling.

The reason why Mr. Lucas resorted to such ruthless measures against the Scott family was to avenge his own precious darling.

"Tomorrow we need to go for a prenatal checkup, so you should rest early tonight, and I will accompany you tomorrow."

The man’s long hand rested on her belly, gently, with a devotion like never before.

During Lily’s first two pregnancies, the first time, due to Hannah Ford’s involvement, he hadn’t been by her side.

The second time, separated by four years, he had failed even more to fulfill his duties as a father.

And now, it was the third time.
