Chapter 949: Chapter 952: Discovering the Second Personality (2) Chapter 949: Chapter 952: Discovering the Second Personality (2) “I…”
Now, it was Lily’s turn to be confused.
Why couldn’t she possibly know?
Lily wanted to question Aidan Lucas, but she suddenly realized sothing.
Alice, Alice…
Since her return to the country, Aidan Lucas had never called her by her na.
Oh, no, he had called her once.
That night, the night he was poisoned with blue poison, he had pinned her to the bed and called her Lily all night long.
But apart from that, from the beginning to the end, he had called her Alice.
He had never called her by any other na but Alice.
“Old man, so this is the issue you’re agonizing over?”
Ben Lucas suddenly joined in the conversation.
As he spoke, he reached under the suit overcoat with his little hand and grabbed Lily’s hand.
He was warming her with his palm.
“Now, I really have to reassess your abilities,” Ben comnted coldly, causing Aidan Lucas’s eyebrows to furrow.
But Ben didn’t care and continued, “Do you think that Aunt Lily’s na is Alice and her only role is your secretary?”
“Unfortunately, that’s not the truth. Old man, I think Aunt Lily probably doesn’t like you; you’ve been used by her.”
Realizing this, the boy didn’t dislike Lily; instead, he slightly curled his lips into a smug expression.
“Ben, I didn’t…”
“It’s okay, Aunt Lily. It’s his problem that he was deceived. Who told him that his subordinates are so incompetent at their jobs?”
Ben glanced at Aidan Lucas with a raised eyebrow, “Aren’t you curious why I keep calling your Alice, Aunt Lily?”
At this mont, Aidan Lucas had already let go of the hand that was gripping Lily’s chin.
He realized that he had probably misunderstood the woman.
Aidan Lucas pulled Lily into his embrace and whispered into her ear, “I’m sorry, baby, later tonight, I’ll make it up to you properly.”
Then, he looked up at Ben, his gaze returning to its cool detachnt, “If you want to explain, you’d better do it all at once.”
Ben smirked coldly, unwilling to torture his curiosity.
“Aunt Lily’s real na is Lily Redington, and Alice is just the English na she used to get close to you. The reason she approached you, I think, has sothing to do with the Gray family’s acquisition case.”
“My mother, your late wife, was good friends with Aunt Lily. Aunt Lily bought shares in the Gray family from my mother. And her return coincided with the ti when you and Uncle Dylan were pressuring the Gray family.”
“So I guess, the reason she got close to you was to protect the Gray family. This has nothing to do with Theodore Lucas, whom Benjamin Lucas IX and Milly Gray have alarmingly referred to.”
What Ben didn’t know was that his speculation was also wrong.
But Lily had no intention of correcting him.
She preferred that Ben continued to be mistaken, preferred that Ben believed that she was Lily Redington.
“Alice… Lily Redington…” Aidan Lucas’s icy deanor finally showed a crack.
He hadn’t expected that his woman shared the sa na as his ex-wife.
Aidan Lucas never cared about Lily’s identity; the only thing he cared about was Ben’s safety.
However, Ben’s thoughts were different from his.
Ben looked at Lily with a serious and earnest expression.
“Aunt Lily, even though it seems now that my father can accept your identity and doesn’t mind the previous concealnt,”
“I still need to remind you. Given that everyone says you look extrely like my deceased mother, I think you need to make clear whether his love is truly for you, or if he simply sees you as a substitute for my mother.”
