Chapter 1262: Chapter 1265: Still Loving That Person Deep Inside Chapter 1262: Chapter 1265: Still Loving That Person Deep Inside “The press conference is about to start…” Lily pushed open the door and walked into the study room, only to find that the television wasn’t turned on, “Why is the TV off?”
She glanced sideways towards the television, a puzzled look on her face.
“Forgot,” Aidan Lucas said indifferently, his tone lazy.
Those deep, bottomless black pupils greedily watched the woman who had suddenly appeared before him.
His woman, his little one.
The man silently watched Lily, tracing the features of her face, her figure, and her curves with his tangible gaze.
After four years apart, their last quick encounter had only allowed him a mont to kiss her soft lips before his alternate personality took control of his body again.
But this ti, Aidan Lucas had a premonition.
He felt that he would be able to stay longer than last ti.
He told himself to be patient.
He couldn’t let Lily discover the secret within his body, for fear of frightening her away.
He needed to gradually regain control of his body and, unbeknownst to anyone, slowly resolve the misunderstandings of the past.
No matter why Lily had left initially, no matter who fathered the two mixed-race babies, now that she was back, she would forever be his wife, Aidan Lucas’s.
Lily, unaware of his thoughts, found it strange but walked over to the sofa, picked up the remote control, and turned on the television.
As the television screen lit up, Lily turned back to Aidan Lucas and said, “It’s about to start, and Wendy Jenkins is probably going to exploit my grandfather’s injury heavily. But don’t worry, I’ve already made preparations…”
Before she could finish, the remote control in Lily’s hand clattered onto the sofa cushion.
Since entering, she hadn’t truly looked at Aidan Lucas until she turned back, and her gaze finally settled on his face.
However, that one look made Lily stand rooted to the spot, lost in thought.
The man’s black hair was casually swept back, revealing his stunning and profound features unequivocally.
Those deep, shadowed, almond-shaped eyes stared unblinkingly at her.
Behind him was a massive floor-to-ceiling window, with the golden afterglow from outside casting almost a golden sheen around him.
This version of Aidan Lucas instantly gave Lily an illusion.
An illusion of returning to five years ago, when she first stepped into the top-floor CEO’s office at Royal Palace and saw him.
She knew that the man before her wasn’t the Aidan Lucas from five years ago, nor the one hidden deep within her mories.
This was a newly erged alternate personality.
However, knowing all that, Lily still couldn’t help but hope… hope that the person before her would transform into the Aidan Lucas of the past.
Only now did she suddenly realize.
Even if the alternate personality treated her well, even if she repeatedly told herself to treat him the sa and truly accept him,
It still wasn’t the sa, not quite.
Even though they looked exactly alike, even though they were the sa person, her feelings towards this alternate personality were still slightly lacking compared to the original.
Lily was speechless, feeling as though sothing was stuck in her throat.
A torrential sorrow overwheld her heart.
She even wanted to rush over and hug Aidan Lucas, to hold him and tell him how much she loved and missed him.
Even though she knew that the one she loved and missed was soone else.
But in the end, Lily restrained herself.
Because to do so would be too unfair to the alternate personality.
She couldn’t allow herself to treat him as a substitute when her emotions were in chaos.
Lily took a few unnoticeable deep breaths, standing still. Although only a few seconds had passed, it felt like millennia to her.
