Chapter 768: Chapter 771: The True Reason for Being Single and Becoming a Widow
Single and widowed…
Lily Gray leaned on David Redington’s shoulder, the color draining slowly from her face.
She clenched her lower lip tightly, only in this way she could control herself from sobbing aloud in front of her father and David Redington.
Redington hugged her, feeling her body shake slightly.
Yet, other than hugging her tighter, he couldn’t do anything else to help her.
“Keep talking, is there more?”
“Yes, be patient. Aidan Lucas did all of this just to deal with Theodore Lucas and the Stone family.”
Redington rubbed his temples, comforting her in a low voice: “After you left, the Lucas Family didn’t disclose your whereabouts. The outside world thought you were always by Aidan Lucas’s side. So, the Young Lady who died in the explosion, in the eyes of outsiders, might be you. This is why Aidan Lucas said… he is… single and widowed.”
Indeed, what Redington said was not the truth.
Yes, Aidan Lucas did all of this to deal with Theodore and the Stone family.
However, this could also reflect his sentint towards Lily.
Redington hesitated on explaining the deeper aning of this matter.
He could only hug her tighter, providing Lily with more warmth.
“No, Redington… He did this, not only to confront the external forces.” Lily Gray wasn’t foolish; she was indeed quite astute.
“He did this to let know, to not co back. Aidan Lucas, he has completely given up on … I can’t… I can’t go back anymore.”
Single and widowed, Aidan Lucas was announcing to the world that he and Lily Gray no longer had any ties.
With divorce, there was the possibility of reconciliation.
But widowhood…
Was this his way to tell the world that Lily Gray no longer existed in this world?
No, that wasn’t it…
With tears welling up in her eyes, Lily Gray hugged David Redington tightly, burying her head in his neck.
She understood now, she finally comprehended Aidan Lucas’s intentions.
“Sweetie, don’t worry. Let’s go back now, Daddy will take you back… I will prove to everyone that you are Lily Gray, I want to see who would dare to deny!”
Duke Redington could not bear to see his daughter cry.
Even though he urged his daughter every day to take the Redington surna, for the sake of making her happy, it didn’t matter even if she kept the Gray surna!
The sound of Lily Gray’s stifled cries echoed, “No need Daddy… We… we can’t go back now. We have all overlooked soone, we have forgotten about Ben Lucas… Ben is the reason why Aidan did all of this.”
Lily Gray suddenly understood.
Because he was abandoned by his father when he was young and didn’t receive paternal love, Aidan Lucas knew too well what it felt like to be abandoned by one’s parents.
To him, they seemingly abandoned Ben Lucas as well when they left.
In order to prevent Ben Lucas from developing childhood trauma, perhaps this was the real reason Aidan Lucas orchestrated this explosion.
Aidan Lucas, he had truly given up on her.
He faked her death, letting Ben Lucas believe that his mother died unexpectedly, rather than…abandoning him when he was still very young.
Although it was cruel, for the one-year-old Ben Lucas, when he grows up, others will tell him that his mother had passed away prematurely due to an accident.
She passed away prematurely, but she did not abandon him, not leave him behind.
Finally, this was why Aidan Lucas did all of this.
Lily Gray understood.
Finally, she understood…
“Lily…” The dampness in his nape tugged at his heartstrings.
Redington wanted to comfort her, but heard her soft pleading voice co from the crook of his neck.
“Redington… let hold onto you a bit longer, please.”
Lily Gray clung onto the back of Redington’s neck, unwilling to let go.
She needed a safe corner, to vent her emotions.
Because she knew she didn’t have the right to bla Aidan Lucas.
Because she knew, he did all of this to ensure Ben Lucas grew up healthily.
After all…
For them, the one who abandoned them was herself.
