Chapter 735: Chapter 738: A Surprise for You (Additional 4)
“Lilith, why don’t you just come over to M Country? It’s okay, I can find a house for you near M University. There’s a park nearby for walks and if you’re interested, you can even sit in for some lectures. Most importantly, it’s close to my company so I can look after you at any time.”
Lily Gray listened, shook her head, and continued to piece together the large Lego blocks in front of her.
She now felt that Oliver Ford was increasingly becoming like a mother hen.
On the other end of the video call, Oliver continued.
“I now come back to A City once a month. The company is almost ready, and should be on track soon. The Gray family is doing pretty well, and I see Lena Hammond and Skye Brown are quite dedicated. Skye mentioned that after she finishes filming this movie, she wants to find some time to visit you.”
Just as Lily was about to refuse, Oliver picked up on her hesitation. “Don’t worry, I already refused for you. I know what you’re worried about— is it Dylan Wellington finding out?”
Lily Gray silently nodded, and continued to piece together the Lego blocks.
Oliver noticed that she seemed emotionless — a stark contrast from when she first left, when she would either be on the verge of tears or red-eyed every time they video-called.
Feeling slightly relieved, he dared to continue.
“By the way, it’s a good thing you left. A City has been quite chaotic recently. We all underestimated Aidan Lucas. After you left, he emerged from the military department. Larry Scott really let the tiger return to the mountain this time. Many positions in the military department were seized by Aidan’s people, even Larry himself is under investigation.”
“Also, I heard that the previous head of the Lucas family, is actually still alive. He suddenly returned at the funeral of Madam Lucas, it seems like he and Aidan had a conflict. The tension between them seemed quite severe, I don’t know what the situation is now.”
After all, the Ford family does not have much influence in A City, and Oliver was under the control of Madam Ford, he could not uncover much insider news.
He didn’t know that Lily, who had been silently sitting in front of the screen, every time he mentioned ‘Aidan Lucas’, a sharp pain would stab at her heart.
It’s been a month since she left, and the pain that made even breathing difficulty every time she thought of him, did not lessen, but only intensified
She forced herself to ignore the pain. “What about Ben Lucas? Brother, do you have any news of him?”
Oliver looked at her apologetically, “Not at the moment. I asked Skye. She said that the Lucas family has tightened its security. They are protecting Ben very well and are not letting outsiders see him.”
When she just left, Skye could visit Ben with Dylan Wellington .
But now, it was impossible.
“As long as he is well protected…” she nodded slightly to comfort herself.
Seeing her like this, Oliver reassured, “Lilith, don’t worry. Since you can’t go back now, you should forget the past and take care of yourself. Look at you, your chin is all pointy, have you not been eating well recently? You wait, I will come to Europe to see you soon.”
“No need, brother, I’m fine. Don’t worry about me, I will take care of myself.”
“How can I not worry about you when you are like this…”
“Alright, brother, let’s leave it at that. I have something to do, I’m hanging up now.” Lily Gray, forcing an end to the call, leaving Oliver’s nagging on the other side of the screen.
She sighed and looked at the Lego blocks in front of her.
Oh, these blocks are so hard to piece together.
But thankfully, there’s still half a year. She will definitely finish it before Ben’s first birthday.
She lowered her head, gently touched her slightly protruding belly, and a faint smile finally appeared on her face.
Looking at her stomach, Lily Gray softly said, “Baby, let’s work hard together, finish this gift and give it to your brother, okay?”
[Author’s Note] Update of April 18th is completed, everyone should go to sleep now, good night~~ I don’t know if the last surprise… hmm, the plot on Lily’s side will lead to the unexpected revelation of her background!
