BXBX NOVEL Chapter 447: 450: From then on, she became his wife.
The way they were poised was less like dancing and more like they were showing off their love.
Because Lily Gray was pregnant, she wore flat shoes. As such, facing Aidan Lucas, who was well over six feet tall, gave her an unusually petite and delicate appearance.
He gently cradled her in his arms, his hands circled around her waist.
As for Lily Gray, her face lay against his firm and fit abdomen; her hands wrapped around the man’s narrow waist.
Neither of them took big steps.
They just leaned against each other, slowly swaying to the romantic and elegant music.
This was the opening dance of the host of the banquet.
Even at a distance, one could feel the warm and romantic love between the two.
Guests who had dealt with Aidan Lucas before couldn’t help but feel a sense of unreality.
This Aidan Lucas…
A man with a smile on his lips and eyes full of love and indulgence.
It was a far cry from the memory of Mr. Lucas, a handsome man with a chilly demeanor that kept people at a distance.
The Aidan Lucas in memory was cold and ruthless.
It wasn’t that they had never seen him smile.
But the cruel, cold smile they knew, and the man before them, were almost as if they were not the same person.
“Mom, could there be some mistake? Lily Gray is clearly just a mistress. Why does she get to dance the opening with Mr. Lucas! Annoying, she’s stealing all the limelight!”
Zara Lucas and her group were seated far away and didn’t hear Aidan Lucas’s declaration to the Gray family earlier.
“I don’t know… this little bitch really got lucky, allowing her to steal all the spotlight!”
“Mom, do you think… could Lily Gray have drugged Mr. Lucas? At such an event, Mrs. Lucas and Young Mrs. Lucas are present, but she gets to dance the opening. Could it be…?”
The mother and daughter looked at each other, both seeing a certain idea they didn’t want to admit in each other’s eyes.
Indeed.
This was the occasion.
A banquet to introduce the Lady of the Lucas Family.
Yet, Lily Gray, a mistress, not only appears.
But also gets to sit at the first table.
After sitting at the first table, she gets to dance the opening with Mr. Lucas.
It was a real slap in the face to Young Mrs. Lucas!
Mr. Lucas backing Lily Gray, the vixen, made it clear to everyone that even with Young Mrs. Lucas, Lily Gray was still his beloved.
There were quite a few people who had this thought, and their glances towards the duo on the dance floor became increasingly ambiguous.
Austin Lucas was sitting next to Michelle Carter’s mother and daughter.
Hearing their conversation, his right hand clenched into a fist involuntarily.
He remembered the last time he proposed to remarry, and the result was rejection.
His heart ached.
Lily Gray… could it be true… she would rather be Aidan Lucas’s mistress than remarry him and make amends?
*
When the dance was over, the banquet hall was brightly lit once more.
The applause was thunderous.
Even if some guests didn’t approve of Lily Gray’s status as a mistress.
But Mr. Lucas was present, naturally, they didn’t dare to disrespect.
When the applause gradually subsided.
Aidan Lucas gently cradled Lily Gray in his arms, with a slightly weaker smile on his face, he gave Samuel McKinley a look.
Samuel McKinley quickly handed over the prepared microphone.
Lily Gray, half held in Aidan Lucas’s arms, caught sight of him taking the microphone and had a vague guess of what he was about to say.
Her beautiful almond eyes stared unblinkingly at the man who held her in his arms.
His deep black pupils, the straight nose, the thin lips, all of these… were etched in Lily Gray’s mind.
So this man…
Now, was he preparing to announce to everyone…
From now on, she was his wife?
