Chapter 1387: Chapter 1384: The Softest Spot Was Hit Hard
Aidan Lucas, who always held a position of power, now was the one to extend his hand in greeting first—a scenario that had never occurred before.
No matter when, Mr. Lucas never took the initiative to extend his hand.
But now, Aidan Lucas kept breaking his own precedents.
Moreover, he was disregarded by David Redington, breaking the precedent even further.
David Redington acted as if he didn’t even see Aidan Lucas’ outstretched right hand, leaving his greeting gesture out in the cold.
Instead, David Redington smirked derisively, “Mr. Lucas is quite an actor, not only deceiving others but also teaching two little kids to do the sa.”
While David Redington spoke, Abbie and Lulu had already entered from outside, timidly hiding behind their father, not daring to peek out.
It was all because David Redington was too clever; while the two little kids were good actors, the more David Redington thought about it after carrying them out, the more he felt sothing was amiss.
If Aidan Lucas had truly fainted, the Lucas family would have been in an uproar by now; there was no way it would be this quiet.
Suspecting sothing was not right, with just a little trickery, David Redington had exposed Lulu’s act.
Seeing the two little ones co in, Aidan Lucas imdiately rubbed their heads in a comforting manner.
He gave the two little kids a reassuring glance before looking up at David Redington, “Mr. Redington is mistaken; this isn’t about teaching them bad behavior—they just can’t bear to see their parents split up.”
At this point, Aidan Lucas slightly stepped aside, allowing the two little kids to co forward, taking their hands one on each side.
“We are a family, and we cannot do without anyone.”
Aidan Lucas knew the art of speaking well; while he spoke, he embraced the two precious children, his deep, dark eyes intently falling on Lily’s face.
It must be said, these words hit Lily in a vulnerable spot.
Seeing the three of them huddled together, Lily felt a deep softness within her being harshly struck.
She caught hold of David Redington’s sleeve, “Brother… maybe we should just…”
“No,” David Redington cut off Lily coldly.
“Lily, don’t forget what you promised ,” David Redington turned his back, his deep blue eyes losing their icy chill.
He signaled with his eyes to Lily, filled with urgent concern and care.
David Redington didn’t an to make things difficult for Lily.
He knew that the man she liked was in front of her, but the more his sister liked him, the more David Redington felt compelled to watch over her.
A woman in love is blind, and David Redington wouldn’t allow his cherished sister to be disappointed and humiliated by Aidan Lucas again.
He gently lifted a strand of her loose hair and tucked it behind her ear.
David Redington’s tender hand caressed Lily’s cheek, rubbing her delicate skin softly.
“Be good, your brother is just testing him.”
David Redington soothed Lily, leaning close to her ear, his voice lowered, “n won’t treasure a woman who falls into their hands too easily. Be obedient, I’m helping you.”
Helping Lily test Aidan Lucas; only through nurous trials, and the struggle to win her over, would he learn to value and not let go of her.
“Brother, but…” Lily knew David Redington ant well.
But she really couldn’t bear it.
She glanced over at Aidan Lucas, about to persuade further when she heard David Redington say, “Lily, don’t be fooled by him. He was just lying here pretending to faint earlier, squandering your sympathy, making you sad. This man’s acting is on par with an Oscar, you can’t be soft-hearted so easily.”
David Redington’s words struck a chord, and Lily rembered Aidan Lucas’ deception.
Of all the things to pretend, why feign a severe unconsciousness?
Did he not realize that it would make her worry and beco frantic?
It was one thing for him to act, but to involve Lulu, almost leading her to worry herself to death.
To act and also involve his daughter…
Brother was right, he truly was despicable!
