Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love

Chapter 857: Chapter 860: When Aidan Lucas Was Drugged (1)

Although she did not see the woman’s face, from the silhouette alone, she knew that it was a young girl.

No wonder Aidan Lucas left work early today, he had come to meet this woman for a date.

Lily suddenly felt a heavy weight in her heart, suffocating her.

These days, she had been ceaselessly hypnotizing herself, telling herself that as long as she slowly made up for it, she would definitely earn Aidan Lucas’s forgiveness.

But she did not expect that all of it was just her own wishful thinking.

Aidan Lucas, who used to leave work early for her in the past, now only changed his schedule for another woman.

...

Lily’s eyes darkened.

From the moment she saw Aidan Lucas, her resolve had been firm, but now it was shattered by the cruel reality.

No wonder Aidan Lucas pretended not to recognize her. How could she have almost forgotten?

She was a woman who had died, no longer existing in this world.

And he, a man who publicly claimed to be a widower.

Perhaps, it was time for her to give up.

…

“Arianna Brooks, what’s with that expression? Are you thinking about compromising with that woman?” Sadie, seeing Lily’s despondent look, felt annoyed for the first time.

The Arianna Brooks she knew was smart, beautiful, confident, and composed. She had never before seen fear or retreat on her face.

Even if it was a man that she really fancied, she would go after him.

That was the Arianna Brooks she should be.

“Sadie, you don’t understand. I… it’s not that I’m compromising, it’s that I simply don’t have the right,” Lily said, not wanting her best friend to worry.

She forced a smile, but did not realize that this smile looked worse than crying.

Seeing this, Sadie slammed the table and stood up with indignation, “Hmph, I don’t believe there’s another woman out there who’s better than you!”

“Sadie, what are you doing!?” Lily saw Sadie stand up and knew things were about to get bad.

Indeed, the next second, she heard Sadie say.

“I’m going to see for myself who this woman that man likes is and just how special she is. I’ll also check if he’s blind or not!”

Her friend Arianna Brooks had fair skin, beautiful features, and long legs, was kind-hearted, and had also given that man three children.

Such a good wife, and he did not want her, preferring instead to go on dates with other women.

Sadie, as a foreigner, was very open-minded about relationships and definitely supported the idea of Arianna Brooks pursuing love.

She accepted Arianna Brooks’s attitude of being proactive and seizing opportunities in life.

It did not mean, however, that she would tolerate that man bullying Arianna Brooks at will.

Sadie dropped this statement and bolted out the door.

Lily was too late to stop her, and could only watch as Sadie dashed out the door.

In the private room opposite, Aidan Lucas looked on with a cold expression at Milly Gray, who was sitting across from him.

“Ethan Wilson, what I mean is this… you know that Ben Lucas will at least listen to the opinion of his Auntie. The summer holiday is almost here, and I know that you and your son really want to meet. Don’t worry, as long as I let him come back to A City, he will definitely listen,” Milly Gray said, squeezing out a smile she deemed sweet and charming.

Little did she know, that smile, to Aidan Lucas, was filled with nothing but deep disgust.

“Hmm, thank you for your trouble.” The man struggled to suppress the urge to smash the plate on the table onto Milly Gray’s face, and instead took a sip of red wine.

If it wasn’t for the sake of seeing his child, he would have loved to shatter Milly Gray’s repulsive face with the plate.

“It’s no trouble, it’s my responsibility. Who would call Ben Lucas such a pitiful child, without a mother since he was young…”

Seeing the man’s black pupils suddenly glazed with frost, Milly Gray quickly changed her words, “Sorry, I shouldn’t have mentioned her.”

Milly Gray covered her mouth and deliberately raised her glass to apologize to Aidan Lucas.

But inside, she was beaming with joy.
