Chapter 1316: Chapter 1319: Carry Her Over (Add 5 More) Chapter 1316: Chapter 1319: Carry Her Over (Add 5 More) Warming the bed…

Lily’s smile at the corner of her mouth solidified.

Even though she desperately told herself that these were just angry words during a fight, not to be believed or heeded,
her heart still felt as though it was being pressed down by something heavy, suffocatingly heavy, and she couldn’t breathe.

“I… understand…” she murmured with her head down.

Tears began to well up in her beautiful eyes.

Seeing the woman lower her head in dejection, Aidan Lucas’s eyes flashed with mockery.

As expected, just as he had predicted.

Her sweetness and compliance were merely tricks of her pretense.

If she truly loved him, as she loved her first true self, how could she give up so easily just because of his few sarcastic remarks?

Her love for the other Aidan Lucas wouldn’t be given up so easily.

“There better not be a next time,” Aidan Lucas coldly instructed, “Someone will bring in a late-night meal, and before I come out, I don’t want to see that you haven’t touched it.”

After speaking, Aidan Lucas left Lily alone and entered the bathroom.

When he came out of the shower, wearing a bathrobe, he was alarmed to see Lily steadying herself on the edge of the king-size bed, standing on her left foot, appearing as if she were about to fall.

“What are you doing!” Aidan Lucas stormed over angrily and scooped Lily up in his arms.

“Ah–”
His movement was too abrupt, accidentally bumping Lily’s injured right hip.

“Gently, gently…” Lily meekly pleaded, “Carry me the other way, my right leg is injured, it hurts.”

That ‘it hurts’ slipped out unintentionally.

Because it was at the end of her sentence, it sounded soft and slightly plaintive,
as if a feather had lightly brushed against his heart.

Aidan Lucas’s cold gaze darkened, he did not heed her request to switch sides, instead, he directly placed her back on the bed.

“I want an explanation.” He stood next to the bed, towering over her, his expression cold.

His body, wrapped in a black bathrobe, was still radiating warmth.

The momentary warmth Lily felt in his arms disappeared as she once again sat back on the king-size bed that felt perpetually cold to sleep alone in.

“I wanted to heed your words and eat the late-night meal,” Lily pointed to a plate not far away.

A small bowl of porridge accompanied by colorful Cantonese dim sum, deliciously fragrant and appetizing.

However, the person who brought the meal in didn’t even glance at her.

They just placed the food down and left.

Not considering that in her current state, it was impossible for her to get up and eat by herself.

Aidan Lucas followed the direction she pointed and instantly understood her earlier action.

The man’s handsome brows knit even tighter, he looked at Lily for two seconds, then suddenly, without a word, bent down.

Before Lily could react, he carefully avoided her injured right side and held her in his arms.

Lily was startled, not expecting to fall back into his warm embrace.

She nestled against him, blinked, and her face lit up with joy.

“Aidan Lucas…”

“No talking,” the man interrupted her coldly, his cool deep eyes staring straight ahead.

Lily’s spirits fell, and she dropped her head, not daring to speak.

She had failed to connect again.

Aidan Lucas, looking stern, placed her on the sofa and instructed her to eat before he walked away.

It seemed he was reluctant to spend even a moment longer with her.

Lily’s right hand was injured and still bandaged.

Using her left hand to manage a spoon for the porridge was doable, but using it to handle cutlery for picking up food was difficult.

Given her current relationship with Aidan Lucas, she definitely wouldn’t dare to ask for his help.

Lily could only silently eat the plain porridge alone.

Fortunately, this time her baby was more cooperative, she could eat without easily throwing up, only feeling nauseous when smelling sharp odors.

Silently eating for a while, the cushion on the sofa suddenly sunk down.

The man, still in his bathrobe, suddenly sat beside her.
