章 121: Chapter 124: She, Initiating the Kiss

After following Aidan Lucas into the office, Lily Gray heard the door lock with a "click", causing her to frown.

She was just about to tell him she wouldn't take up too much of his time, but he unexpectedly moved closer.

"Ah..." Lily Gray exclaimed in surprise.

With one hand behind her neck and the other under her knees, Aidan Lucas easily lifted her in a princess-style embrace.

"Aidan Lucas, let me go!" She widened her charming peach blossom eyes, staring at the handsome face so close to hers, her cheeks flushing slightly.

But the next second, she recalled the moment Joan Wellington had clung to his arm.

Like being doused in a bucket of cold water from head to toe, her quietly stirring heart turned ice-cold in an instant.

"You just recovered a little bit..." Aidan Lucas didn't notice Lily Gray's mood change. "I don't feel at ease if I don't hold you."

After saying that, he sat down on the sofa with Lily Gray naturally settling into his embrace.
