Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love - Chapter 1357

Chapter 1357: Chapter 1354: The Last Glance, Engraving Her in My Heart (Extra 2)

Aidan Lucas brought Lily to the base of a high-rise building.

This entire building belonged to the Reddington family.

Sadie, having received the message, was already waiting for them downstairs.

Upon seeing Lily’s emaciated figure and her eyes red and swollen from crying, Sadie glared fiercely at Aidan Lucas.

“Lily…”

Just as Lily was about to walk towards Sadie, Aidan Lucas suddenly stopped her.

“There’s something I forgot to tell you…”

Lily turned around, waiting for him to speak.

Aidan Lucas stared intently at the woman before him, greedily tracing the contours of her features.

He wanted to etch his Lily into his heart forever.

It wasn’t until Sadie urged them from the side that Aidan Lucas slowly began to speak, “Lily Redington… I want to tell you, I love you.”

I love you, and I don’t regret falling in love with you.

Thank you for letting me know what it feels like to love someone.

He looked at her with a gaze that was both complex and reluctant to let go.

Lily felt her heartbeat skip a beat, as if moved, yet also terrified.

A distinct fear of loss surged from within her.

“Aidan Lucas, I…”

Aidan Lucas cut her off before she could continue, “Shh, don’t tell me your answer.”

That way, he could at least deceive himself into believing she loved him too.

“All right, go now. When we meet next time, it may not be so easy for you.”

“You have awoken him, so next time you may have to face both of us… Then, even if you want to take it back, you won’t be allowed.”

Aidan Lucas said this trying to sound lighthearted, but his deep eyes masked his reluctance.

How could there be two people.

He had decided to let go, never again would there be two.

Guilt flashed across Lily’s face, as she ended up angering the other personality trait after all.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t consult you before I provoked him to appear, I…”

“There’s no need to apologize,” Aidan Lucas stopped her, “We are one and the same, no personality can permanently suppress another.”

Unless the other chooses to remain dormant.

Just like the first personality that once lost its will, just like him now.

Lily was unaware of Aidan Lucas’s thoughts; she only felt a stifling melancholy spreading within her chest.

That sense of loss pervaded her heart, its origin unclear.

“Thank you…” Confused by her own feelings, Lily could only murmured her thanks.

“No need for thanks, once that guy gets used to this body, we’ll come to take you back.”

Seeing a flicker of panic in Lily’s eyes, he softly comforted her, “Don’t be scared, I promise… from now on, he will treat you well and not hurt you anymore.”

Aidan Lucas took one last look at Lily and waved to her.

Behind him, Sadie urged them again, and although Lily still had questions about what Aidan Lucas had just said, considering they would meet again, she decided to ask him next time.

She still harbored an instinctive fear of Aidan Lucas.

A temporary separation would give her space to calm down and them time to acquaint themselves with the body; all would be well when they met next time.

Lily nodded and turned to leave.

This time, Aidan Lucas did not call out to stop her.

Lily went back to the attic room with Sadie, who immediately began a thorough examination from head to toe.

“Pregnant for nearly 8 weeks, covered in bruises, that imposter even processed the divorce procedures with Aidan Lucas for you. Arianna Brooks, although I’m a subordinate, I’m also your friend. Don’t you think you owe me an explanation?”
