Chapter 283: Chapter 286: Caught Receiving Gifts from Another Man

Translator: 549690339 |

Upon seeing Aidan Lucas, Lily Gray’s first thought was to turn around and flee.

She didn’t know why she would have such an idea.

But before she could think it through, her body acted before her brain.

Her feet barely took a step to the side.

The man who had been lazily sitting in the back seat suddenly sprang into action, agile like a cheetah.

With lightning speed, he caught Lily Gray trying to escape and dragged her back into the back seat.

Lily Gray didn’t have time to react.

Just as she heard a loud “bang,” the car door was slammed shut.

The car started and sped away.

Feeling the car start, she knew there was no hope of escape.

Lily Gray was trapped on Aidan Lucas’s lap, her body involuntarily trembling.

Aidan Lucas’s face was freezing cold, but there was a slight upward curl to the corner of his mouth.

He hadn’t said a word since he’d caught her.

He just looked down at the woman curled up in his arms.

His cold black pupils glued to her face the entire time.

Lily Gray’s scalp tingled under his inscrutable gaze.

Knowing she was in deep trouble, she could only try to coax him with a smile:

“Please don’t be angry… I, I know I was wrong.”

Her timid voice, delicate and charming as a kitten’s, pleaded.

In fact, she didn’t think she had done anything too outrageous.

At most, she had left the house without informing him.

Stayed out a bit longer than expected.

Accidentally ran into a man who cared about her.

Also accidentally, accepted his scarf without returning it promptly.

And finally, what was even more damnable was that she was inadvertently caught red-handed by someone.

The face-loving Aidan Lucas, even if he didn’t care about her, would definitely be furious, right?

Thinking this, she watched the faint, cool smile on the man’s lips deepen.

“You realize you were wrong?” he chuckled softly.

If it were any other time, hearing this velvety cello-like laughter would make Lily Gray’s ears burn.

But now, the man’s low laughter sent chills down her spine.

“I thought you’d forgotten last night’s lesson,” he said.

Aidan Lucas’s slender fingers gently stroked the soft top of her head, sliding down her hair to the gray-black cashmere scarf around her neck.

Lily Gray was frightened by, his icy demeanor and dared not speak.

She could only open her peach blossom eyes wide and look at him pitifully.

Aidan Lucas’s weakness was her coquettish pleading.

Knowing he was angry, she could only act well-behaved to appease him.

However, this time, she underestimated his temper.

Aidan Lucas held her in his arms, slowly undoing the scarf around her neck, one finger at a time.

When the scarf around her neck was finally removed, Lily Gray let out a sigh of relief, but was suddenly caught off guard by Aidan Lucas’s forceful pull.

“Rip!”

A cold air rushed in around her neck.

The limited-edition high-collared knit dress she had just found in the cloakroom was torn apart from the collar by the furious man, revealing a slit.

Lily Gray was stunned for a moment before suddenly realizing what had happened.

Just as she wanted to reach out and cover herself, Aidan Lucas’s slightly rough hand pressed down on her.

He grabbed her two hands with one of his.

In the end, he even dragged her hands behind her and tied them together.

The tool he used to tie her up was none other than the very scarf David Redington had left behind!!!
