Chapter 658: Chapter 661: Mr. Lu, the Jealous Madman
After dinner, Lily Gray chatted with Emily Taylor for a while before returning to her room to play with Ben Lucas.
Although the Lucas family had hired a professional nanny and brought Ellie from the Gray family mansion to help take care of the child, Lily just couldn’t bear to be away from Ben.
When they first came back, they had moved Ben’s crib next to Lily and Aidan Lucas’ king-size bed, keeping a close watch on him day and night.
Ben was premature, and he had to stay in the incubator at the hospital for nearly a month before he was finally well enough. Now he still looked like a tiny bundle, doing nothing but sleeping all day.
Moreover, Ben was strange in that he seldom cried. When he woke up, he would just laugh at people instead of expressing his dissatisfaction through crying like many other babies do.
Lily even wondered at one point if her son was also an “adorable in the morning” patient?
Whenever she thought of her son, a smile appeared on her lips.
But when she returned to the bedroom and pushed open the door, Ben was nowhere to be found, and even the crib was gone. All she saw was Aidan Lucas sitting on the sofa, lazily looking at the documents in his hand.
“Why are you here?” At this time, shouldn’t he be working in his study room? And…
“Where’s Ben?” Lily walked over to Aidan’s side.
He looked up at her, his deep black pupils staring intently as he pulled her into his embrace.
“I was waiting for you,” Aidan said, holding his beloved wife in his arms.
Lily could only adjust to a comfortable sitting position, allowing him to embrace her as she hooked her arm around his neck. “You still haven’t told me where Ben is… and why is his crib gone, too?”
Lily’s focus was clearly more on her son than on whatever Aidan wanted to discuss with her.
Aidan sighed inwardly, resigned to the fact that, indeed, ever since they had their son, his beloved wife’s attention to him had become secondary to the child.
“I had Ellie take Ben back to the nursery,” Aidan complained in his inky-black eyes.
“Why?” Lily looked up at him, her beautiful, dazzling peach blossom eyes filled with confusion.
Aidan simply stroked Lily’s head and buried his face in her soft, sweet-smelling black hair.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He was annoyed but couldn’t tell Lily.
Ben was deliberately acting against him.
After months of abstinence, last night, it had finally been possible for him to embrace Lily and get intimate.
But before they could fully enjoy themselves, the little kid suddenly started crying.
Lily immediately left him behind without a thought and went to comfort the child.
At the thought of this, Aidan felt a surge of uncontrollable jealousy well up within him.
That little Ben, who was obviously not usually prone to crying when he woke up, had chosen to do so several times just when Aidan and Lily were being affectionate.
There was no way Aidan would believe that wasn’t done on purpose.
But after all, he was a man and also a father. Although his heart was filled with frustration and bitterness, his handsome, sharp features still maintained their calm demeanor.
With a perfectly serious tone, he said, “Ben is a boy, and also the future heir of the Lucas family. He should learn to be independent from a young age, not become a mama’s boy.”
It was a very noble reason. There was no way he could tell Lily the real reason: that he was jealous.
“But Ben is still so little. Can’t we wait until he gets older to…”
“Every heir of the Lucas family has been raised this way,” Aidan said, his face expressionless as he continued to spin his tale.
Hearing him say that this was the tradition of the Lucas family,
Although Lily felt heartache for Ben and was reluctant to part with her son, she knew that there were indeed many rules in families like the hundred-year-old Lucas family.
Feeling disheartened, she rested her head on Aidan’s shoulder and softly replied with a “Mm,” signifying her compromise.
