Chapter 62: Chapter 65: His protection makes her uneasy.

Thining of this, Emily Taylor's gaze towards Lily Gray was coated with some dissatisfaction.

"Aunt Emma is just such a person, she speaks directly and doesn't mince words... Miss Gray, you shouldn't take it to heart." Mrs. Lucas said gracefully, yet her words were carefully worded slights.

Lily Gray naturally understood the deeper meaning behind these words, she was stung but had no retort.

"It's okay, we are all family." Lily Gray calmly countered with a gentle smile.

Seemingly satisfied with her response, Aidan Lucas intercepted Emily Taylor's next words on her behalf.

"Mom, this is Lily's first meeting with my family. Don't scare her." He finished, and then wrapped Lily Gray into his arms, naturally settling into a vacant spot on the sofa.

His actions were swift and told clearly of the protection and indulgence he had for Lily Gray.
