“Have you had enough of hugging?” The man’s cold voice came through, his gaze on Lily Gray’s face appearing rather unfriendly.

Lily Gray’s upturned lips curved into an even deeper smile, “My dear, are you showing your distaste for me?”

Although she was, initially, much more passive than him, she had suddenly become proactive.

Lily Gray’s voice was delicate and soft. Even though she had been married twice, she was only in her early twenties. Not only was her voice tender, but her entire being seemed like a just-opened blossom, delicate yet alluring.

Aidan Lucas’s cold heart swayed slightly when his gaze accidentally met her clear eyes.

His deep gaze swept over her features.

With her dewy peach blossom eyes and slightly upturned cherry lips, he knew she was acting, but her purposeful expression of grievance still evoked pity in his heart.

He stretched out his hand to place her head on his chest, rubbing her hair, “No.”

He originally planned to adjust his mood before talking to her, but he didn’t expect that this woman would be so sensitive. Just a slight distance made her feel restless.

“But… 1 feel that… you seem to have gone out to eat secretly these past few days.” Her head was still buried in his chest, her voice sounding muffled.

Aidan Lucas’s dark eyes suddenly flashed a strange light as his face hardened.

“What is it? Are you questioning my whereabouts or accusing me of neglecting you?”

“No.” Lily Gray denied without hesitation, her voice still muffled.

Aidan Lucas lifted her face, forcing her to look at him.

“Mrs. Lucas, 1 hope you understand.” The coldness at the corner of his mouth made one feel as if walking on thin ice, “Marrying you is just a transaction. In this one year, you will get what you deserve, while I will get what 1 want from you. We owe each other nothing, and we will not interfere with each other.” “Do you understand?” The last word’s tone slightly rose, carrying a touch of seductive charm, but it could no longer evoke any ripples in Lily Gray’s heart.

“I understand.” She nodded, uncertain whether the feeling in her heart was happiness or loss.

Her test was successful, at least now she knew what Aidan Lucas wanted.

Their marriage contract would remain unaffected by any other woman within this one year.

She could use the status of Mrs. Lucas to do what she wanted, but besides that, she had no right to interfere in Aidan Lucas’s affairs.

Of course, it sounded like he didn’t plan to interfere with her private affairs either.

This was good, just like the contract they had signed, but…

Why was she having a strange feeling?

Lily Gray forced herself not to overthink it and smiled at Aidan Lucas.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Lucas. Since we have signed a contract, 1 won’t put you in a difficult situation. As for just now, 1 was merely asking as Mrs. Lucas. I thought… you might prefer a Mrs. Lucas like that.”

“But now I know, Mr. Lucas doesn’t like Mrs. Lucas to inquire too much. Rest assured, 1 promise it won’t happen again.”

After saying this, Lily Gray propped herself up and withdrew from Aidan Lucas’s embrace.

As she returned to her seat, she acted as if nothing had happened and continued watching the movie with the snack in her hand.

Aidan Lucas watched the calm woman retreating from his embrace with slightly darkened eyes.

This Miss Lucas was precisely what he needed, but at some point, when her soft and fragrant body withdrew from his embrace, why did he feel a sense of loss?

He stretched out his finger to rub the center of his brows as he thought. Perhaps his busy work was making his mind unclear.

This brief interlude soon passed. When the plane landed in A City, Aidan Lucas’s attitude towards Lily Gray reverted to the lovingly tender one from when they had left A City.

But Lily Gray would no longer be misled.

Because she knew that life is like a play and that acting skills shape it all. From now on, the test of Lily Gray’s acting skills had just begun..
