Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love

After a couple more sentences, Aidan Lucas seemed to be busy with something and hung up the call.

Lily Gray put down her cell phone and took a breath.

She felt a little strange about herself…

It was normal for her husband to be away on business, but she couldn’t believe she was already thinking about seeing him after just one day.

Shaking her head, she was about to grab a bowl when she suddenly turned around and was almost startled by the person behind her.

… she wasn’t sure when that person had entered the room.

David Redington was leaning against the doorframe with his hands in his pockets, looking relaxed and casual.

His deep blue eyes flicked to Lily Gray’s face, and he spoke coolly, “Boyfriend?”

“No,” Lily Gray shook her head, ready to add: My husband.

David Redington suddenly pushed off the door and walked towards her with long strides.

David’s tall figure approached her, leaning down, his refined and unrestrained features appearing larger in her sight.

Lily Gray unconsciously retreated, only to bump against the cabinet behind her.

Following, a shadow fell upon her.

David loomed over her, his thin lips close to her ear.

He lowered his head slightly, his silver hair filling her vision.

His magnetic voice, filled with a hint of cynicism, “So, not your boyfriend, but the object of your secret crush?”

Lily Gray’s body suddenly stiffened, feeling as if her secret had been discovered.

Her feelings towards Aidan Lucas… were something she dared not delve into deeply.

“Hmm,” the man chuckled, “I thought so.”

David suddenly reached out, his fingers hooking under Lily Gray’s chin, a slight chill touching her skin.

“If my guess is correct, he doesn’t know that you’re secretly in love with him, does he?”

Her face turned red instantly.

David saw the rosy color on her face and hesitated for a moment.

He hadn’t expected that this woman would be so easily flustered.

Unable to hide her feelings and be seen through by others so easily.

Could she really take charge of an entertainment company?

Unable to resist the urge to tease her.

David blinked playfully, “What a pity, though, because he probably doesn’t even think about you.”

Lily Gray stared at him, her voice trembling, “Why?”

Anxious, she didn’t notice the teasing in his deep blue eyes.

“Very simple.” Matthew Rain leaned his hand on the kitchen counter, grinning, “Because I’m also a man.”

“It’s not the same,” Lily Gray looked down, avoiding David’s eyes.

“… He’s different from you.”

Although she always complained about Aidan Lucas’s overbearing and authoritative character deep down, she would always defend him when questioned by others.

David looked at the woman before him and lazily hooked the corner of his lips, “Based on your conversation just now, he’s on a business trip?”

Lily Gray didn’t answer, but she didn’t deny it either.

“Is his attitude towards you a bit better than usual?” His blue eyes stared at her as he asked.

Lily Gray looked at him, his eyes as deep as the ocean, and unintentionally said the truth, “His tone…is nicer than usual.”

In the recent phone call, Aidan Lucas’s tone was filled with indulgence.

“That’s it,” David pushed back his unruly silver hair, revealing a confident smile, “Men only become nicer to women when they feel guilty.”

“Even if you’re secretly in love with him, he probably suspects it. So… he’s treating you better. I’m guessing there’s another beautiful woman by his side right now, maybe even enjoying their company.”

“Impossible! Stop talking!”

Angry, Lily Gray shoved David Redington away and dodged to one side..
