"Daddy, you were too much just now..." In the car, Lily sat beside the Duke, saying sowhat helplessly.
Outside, she needed to give her Daddy so face, even in front of Aidan Lucas, she didn’t say anything against the Duke.
But as soon as they got in the car, with no one else around, Lily didn’t hold back from criticizing her dear Duke father.
He’s already in his fifties, so decisive outside, how can he be as childish as children in matters like this.
"Baby, don’t be angry, don’t be angry, co, have so juice..." The Duke offered his daughter a glass of juice in a flattering manner.
"Rest assured, Daddy won’t ss around, everything Daddy does is for your own good."
Seeing Lily take a sip of the juice, he then took the blanket and handed her a towel to wipe her mouth.
A series of actions fluid like flowing water, without any awkwardness.
This image completely mismatches the rumored iron-blooded tough guy.
The Duke didn’t seem to care at all that his solicitous care towards his daughter was lowering his dignity, taking the towel his daughter used, he patiently advised: "Girls shouldn’t be too good to n, too accommodating. Look at your mother, all these years she has kept Daddy well under control, Daddy not only doesn’t feel repulsed, but is even more reluctant to part with your mother. So, you too should treat that man the sa way, don’t be too agreeable. Girls need to learn to hold their ground, only then will n cherish them, you know?"
Lily rubbed her ears, suddenly feeling that this advice sounded quite familiar.
She turned to glance at her dear Duke father, seeing those water-blue eyes intently and affectionately looking at her.
Upon seeing those blue eyes, Lily suddenly rembered.
No wonder it sounded familiar—
"Daddy, why do you and Brother say the sa things, making feel like sothing on sale. Don’t worry, Aidan Lucas and I are not like that, he will love no matter what."
"Love you? Baby, don’t be so naïve, a man’s words can’t be trusted easily."
Duke Redington, fearing his daughter might be deceived by Aidan Lucas, quickly went over the typical behaviors of a scumbag with her.
Afterward, he added, "You both got the marriage certificate, but did he propose to you? Did he buy you a diamond ring? Did he dare to say he’s willing to die for you? Did he divide his wealth for you?"
"No, right? If a man isn’t even willing to do these small things for you, then he..."
The Duke was passionately delivering his speech when he suddenly noticed his precious daughter’s eyes, as beautiful as those of his beloved wife, suddenly turning red.
His daughter was crying!
The Duke was frightened, imdiately lowering his tone: "Lily... Lily, don’t cry, ah, Daddy was just speaking randomly... don’t cry, don’t cry, if you cry any more, Daddy’s heart will break!"
Duke Redington never could bear seeing two people cry in his life, one was his wife, the other his daughter.
He frantically comforted her, wiping Lily’s tears while blaming himself internally.
Even if he didn’t favor Aidan Lucas, he shouldn’t have said those things to scare his daughter.
See, his well-behaved Lily, even while pregnant, had been scared to tears by him.
The Duke was upset and regretful.
And Lily sniffled and said: "Daddy, it’s not because of what you said that I’m crying..."
Of course, she knew whether Aidan Lucas loved her or not.
Duke Redington’s few words wouldn’t waver her resolve.
"Then why are you crying...?" The Duke asked cautiously.
Lily looked up at the Duke, her cheeks blushing, "I... I’m just moved..."
"Moved?" The Duke was puzzled.
"Yes." Lily nodded gloomily, "Because I suddenly realized, Daddy, everything you just ntioned, that man has done for . What’s more, so things he has done not only once but twice, thrice. I just suddenly realized, it turns out... Aidan Lucas loves so deeply..."
Crystal tears uncontrollably rolled down from her eyes.
The Duke, watching his daughter’s emotional yet restrained expression, suddenly had a sense of digging a pit for himself.
