Chapter 1321: Chapter 1324: Sorry, I Won’t Do It Again in the Future Chapter 1321: Chapter 1324: Sorry, I Won’t Do It Again in the Future After a while, Aidan Lucas suddenly stood up from the sofa.

The man quickly left the study room and returned to the bedroom.

On the vast bed in the bedroom, Lily curled up on the side closest to the wall, her petite body tightly wrapped in the blanket.

Aidan Lucas walked slowly to the bed, lifted the blanket on his side, and got in.

Turning off the only lamp that was on in the room, Aidan Lucas pulled up the blanket and lay down.

On the two-meter-wide bed, Aidan Lucas slept on the outer side, and Lily on the inner side. From beginning to end, there was no contact between them.

Lily didn’t even know that Aidan Lucas had come back.

And so, she slept all alone through the night.

Until the next morning.

“Achoo–”
Aidan Lucas was awakened by the sneeze of the woman beside him.

He opened his eyes just in time to see Lily half sitting up, attempting to reach for the tissues on the nightstand.

But because of the injury on half of her body, her legs lacked strength, and she couldn’t reach them.

“What are you doing?”

The man’s cold voice suddenly rang out behind her, scaring Lily so much that her upper body shuddered, nearly tumbling off the bed.

Luckily, a large hand encircled her waist at the crucial moment, pulling her back.

“I, I was just…”

“Why are you so cold?” The man suddenly asked with a frosty face, interrupting her.

His large hand moved from her waist down to her thigh, calf, and then to her five pale and translucent toes.

Her entire lower half was ice cold. How on earth had she slept, to have made herself so chilly!?

“I…I was cold at night… and I couldn’t turn over. Being in one position for too long can inevitably lead to poor blood circulation.”

Aidan Lucas looked at her, head lowered and in a pitiable state, and nearly boiled over with anger at her.

Right.

Although now it was autumn and not yet winter, thinking back on the time he spent with Lily, he knew that she was indeed afraid of the cold.

Previously, every night he would hold her tightly, and she would of course not be chilled.

But now…

Reflecting on their current relationship, the darkness in Aidan Lucas’s deep black eyes flared with a cold glint, “If you’re cold, you could have woken me up.”

“I… I didn’t dare…” said Lily, her head even lower.

He was unwilling to sleep with her, so what use would it be to wake him?

Would waking him make him willing to hold her, warming her with his body temperature, allowing her to get warm?

The man’s eyes darkened, as he seemed to consider this possibility as well.

He deliberately spoke in an indifferent tone, “There’s no need to play the victim in front of me. You are Miss of the Reddington family, who has dealt with more people and experienced more schemes than the average woman. This weak and delicate act of yours may fool others, but it won’t fool me anymore.”

“I…I didn’t…” Lily raised her head, her pretty eyes already brimming with moisture.

Indeed, she was no longer the ignorant young girl who Aidan Lucas had rescued from the hands of the Gray family and Caleb Lucas IV.

But no matter how tough and strong she was outside,
Whenever she faced this man, she would unconsciously reveal the tender and charming demeanor of her younger days.

Because the man in front of her had always allowed her to be petulant, always pampering her in the palm of his hand.

He was the only man she had ever deeply loved in her lifetime.

The indulgent Aidan Lucas.

The Aidan Lucas she thought she could be forever young with, never needing to grow up in his presence.

The Aidan Lucas who would just let her be willful and carefree in his arms.

She had never imagined that one day, he would say such words to her.

Lily forcibly held back the tears at the bottom of her eyes.

In that instant, it was as if she suddenly understood.

The Aidan Lucas before her was no longer the man who would allow her to let down her guard and act recklessly.

“I’m sorry, I understand now, I won’t do it again,” Lily said, looking directly at him.

In her gaze, there were no longer those bright, glistening tears.

Suddenly, a sense of inexplicable panic surged up from the depths of Aidan Lucas’s heart.
