The man’s large hands gently patted Lily’s back.
His deep eyes stared at the darling woman in his arms, a tenderness in his gaze that Mr. Wellington had never seen before.
The old man couldn’t help but blink, wanting to make sure he wasn’t seeing things.
After blinking several tis and realizing he hadn’t seen it wrong, he sighed, "Ethan... the way you are now, your grandparents, if they knew, would also feel comforted.
Listening to Mr. Wellington’s tone, Lily knew he wasn’t angry about her earlier disrespect, which settled her nerves slightly.
She thought for a mont and then stood up.
Ignoring Aidan Lucas’s objections, she respectfully bowed deeply to Mr. Wellington.
Lily bowed her head low, sincerely saying, "Master Wellington, my intrusion today was on my initiative, and Aidan was not involved. Not only that, the one who forced him to ask you for help was also . No matter what, in Aidan’s heart, you have always been a respected elder."
"Therefore, regarding the matters concerning the Lucas family, where you can help him, please treat Aidan as you always have, giving advice and care.
"As for Skye and Dylan Wellington’s matter, I must be honest with you; even if I can’t intervene now, I will still find a way to fight with you for custody of the child in the future. This is my obligation as a friend; one cannot only care for themselves and not their friends."
"But, I can assure you, I will not let Aidan help in any way. The fight for custody will only involve Lily Redington herself. If you mind, you can treat coldly, but for Aidan, I hope you can continue to guide and protect him as you always have."
After speaking, Lily respectfully bowed three tis again.
Then, before Mr. Lucas and the old man could react, she turned and ran out of the bedroom.
Mr. Lucas was slightly shocked, clearly not expecting his little one, Lily, to lower herself to such an extent for his sake.
He was about to chase after Lily when he heard the old man call out, "Ethan..."
Mr. Lucas had to stop in his tracks.
Mr. Wellington’s eyes twinkled and he sighed, "Forget it, go after her..."
Mr. Lucas nodded slightly to the old man, and just as he turned around, he heard the old man’s voice from behind him.
"Rember, once the matter with the illegitimate child is settled, bring your wife over. What she said just now, strangely enough, suited my taste, hmm...so matters, perhaps we can discuss in the future."
The words of Mr. Wellington made Mr. Lucas pause montarily.
Is there a possibility of change now?
This news will definitely make Lily happy.
Mr. Lucas thanked the old man, then went downstairs to catch up with Lily who was already in the car.
...
As soon as Aidan Lucas got into the vehicle, Lily imdiately ordered the driver to start the car.
"What’s the matter, why the rush?" Mr. Lucas held Lily in his arms, his tone filled with concern.
"Of course, I’m rushed." Lily didn’t ask him about Mr. Wellington’s reaction, instead, she took out her cell phone and started sending out ssage after ssage.
"We’re going ho imdiately, and then I’ll take Ben Lucas, Abbie, and Lulu back to A City with ."
"Back to A City for what?"
"Of course to stop Theodore Lucas!" Lily let him hold her as she continued to fiddle with her phone, not even looking up at him.
After pressing a few keys, she suddenly frowned and said, "Oh, no. Ben Lucas has class and can’t leave... Then it’ll just be , Abbie, and Lulu going back."
"Lily, wait a minute." Mr. Lucas was both amused and annoyed by Lily’s hurried actions.
He knew Lily was worried about him, but he was worried about her.
Mr. Lucas took the cell phone from Lily’s hands, gently lifted her chin, and looked at her intently, "Honey, we need to have a talk, you don’t need to go back for this. I won’t feel at ease with you going back alone."
