"Divorce agreement..." Aidan Lucas pondered for a while, his eyebrows knitted tightly together, unable to make a final decision.
Not to deprive Lily Gray of her rights as a mother was already the last concession he could make.
But to go a step further, he would have to break his promise to Hannah Ford.
In his memory, that frail figure accompanied him and spent the night in the cold rain within the grove.
If it weren't for that rain, Hannah wouldn't have developed heart disease.
His feelings for Hannah were never romantically inclined.
As a man, he couldn't easily abandon the promises he had made.
"Let's wait a bit longer, I need time to think clearly."
He hung up the phone, his slender fingers pressed against his forehead.
Since he came of age and gained power, he hasn't tasted this sort of dilemma in a long while.
