Chapter 1748: Chapter 1751: Father-in-law’s Third Challenge
Aidan Lucas lowered his head slightly, hiding the ambiguous light in his eyes, “I just told Mother-in-law that if Father-in-law really liked those girls, he could have just picked any one from the over twenty available and married her when Mother-in-law left. Since Father-in-law didn’t do that, and instead ran to M Country to plead with Mother-in-law for years, it shows that the only person in Father-in-law’s heart will always be Mother-in-law.”
The Duke, hearing this, showed a look of approval.
With a smile on his face, he patted Aidan Lucas’s shoulder, “Exactly, that’s the logic. You little rascal, I didn’t realize you were so good at sweet-talking girls.”
“Father-in-law flatters , this isn’t sweet-talking, I’m just stating facts.”
Saying so, Duke Redington was even happier.
He patted Aidan Lucas’s shoulder again and had another drink with him.
After the Duke left, Lily ca over and whispered, “What you said earlier, it was all to fool Daddy, right?”
She understood Aidan Lucas and didn’t believe there was no hidden agenda in this matter.
Aidan Lucas pulled the woman into his arms, kissed her soft, shiny lips, and murmured in her ear, “Of course. It’s our secret, Lily, you can’t tell anyone else.”
Upon hearing this, Lily felt even more ticklish inside, blinking her watery peach blossom eyes as she nodded.
Aidan Lucas rubbed her head and revealed the truth with his deep, lodious voice: “Actually, this was all coordinated with your mother to ensure your daddy wouldn’t make things difficult for us.”
Aidan Lucas told Lily about the plan he and Sylvia Scott agreed upon after she visited the Lucas family yesterday and saw him with those fifty servants.
“So, my mom doesn’t really care about what happened back then?”
“Of course, she cares, but your mother is definitely not an unreasonable woman. Besides, it’s also good to give the Duke a wake-up call, so he’ll cherish your mom even more. Look over there…”
Lily followed Aidan Lucas’s chin gesture and saw the Duke attentively ‘serving’ his wife.
Sigh…
Lily sighed quietly.
Poor Daddy, being sold out by Mom and still happily counting money for Mom.
Because of this incident, the Duke’s attitude toward Aidan Lucas finally softened.
However, although he didn’t stop Aidan Lucas and Lily from being together or take Lily back to Europe, he still felt uneasy.
In his words, every now and then he would take a jab at Aidan Lucas.
Unfortunately, he was an elder and Father-in-law, so Mr. Lucas couldn’t lose his temper with him.
Lily, on the side, listened anxiously, feeling injustice for her man.
Aidan Lucas squeezed the woman’s hand under the table, reassuring her: “Don’t worry, I still have a trump card.”
Trump card…?
Lily was puzzled, wondering what Aidan Lucas was planning!
“Co on, Ethan Wilson… you must drink this glass,” the Duke had not often co to Eastonia but had learned quite a bit about the drinking culture at the table.
There were many ways to ss with a son-in-law.
For example, forcing him to drink, which was one of them.
Lily looked at the wine glass her daddy pushed over, a proper wine glass filled to the brim with red wine.
This wasn’t tasting; this was clearly chugging.
Lily was about to decline on behalf of Aidan Lucas when the man had already accepted the glass.
He placed the glass on the table but didn’t pick it up.
“What’s this, are you not giving Father-in-law any face?” The Duke squinted his eyes, his deep-set features covered with a layer of frost.
It seed like he was about to get angry.
“Of course not. I just suddenly rembered that there’s soone who should be arriving soon.” Aidan Lucas looked at his watch and said calmly.
“Who?”
The Duke said discontentedly, “No matter who it is, you have to drink this glass first. Co on, no excuses, not drinking ans you’re not giving Father-in-law face.”
Aidan Lucas curled his lips, unperturbed, “Father-in-law is right. Since that’s the case, I’ll tell Ben Lucas not to rush over tonight… I was originally planning to have you et your grandson sooner.”
