Chapter 1346: Chapter 1343 He Will Be Back Completely Soon

Feeling the man’s grip on her tightening, Lily suppressed the dull pain spreading from her jaw and continued,

“And moreover, you keep saying you’re going to support me for a year, but I’d like to ask Mr. Lucas, what will you use to support me with? You can’t even control your own body, so if you bought me for a year, are you planning to hand me over to your other self to enjoy?”

“You–” Aidan Lucas hadn’t expected this woman to know so much.

It was one thing for her to see that his body housed two personalities, but she even saw that his control over his body was weaker than his other self.

Yes, he admitted.

The sleep four years ago had deepened the hatred within his body, but wasn’t it also a deliberate escape by himself?

He had never been a coward, yet that day, when she said ‘she didn’t love him,’ it was as though all the meaning of his existence in this world had been lost.

He wasn’t a responsible head of the family, nor a filial son, much less a father with a sense of duty.

He knew full well that so many things in this world needed him, were waiting for him.

But he, just because he lost a woman, lost his fighting spirit altogether, and instead chose to sink into slumber with the current.

“No need to be so surprised that I know so much, I’ve met Joan Wellington after coming back.”

Lily’s words eliminated the last bit of doubt in Aidan Lucas’s heart.

That’s right, it must have been Joan who told her.

Indeed, Joan, such a foolish girl, surely couldn’t see through Lily Gray’s true nature.

“You’re really heartless, taking advantage of Joan’s affections for you,” Aidan Lucas gritted his teeth as he spoke.

“What kind of taking advantage is this? I just had some doubts after our last meeting and asked her a few questions,” Lily said.

Lily laughed, a laugh that made Aidan Lucas’s grip on her intensify.

The pain spreading from her jaw made Lily’s already thin face even more pale.

Yet the more it was so, her sparkling peach-blossom eyes became even more captivating.

Aidan Lucas couldn’t help gazing at her more than a few times and was nearly lost in her charms, feeling a strange sensation growing inside him.

He quickly averted his gaze, using an extremely cold tone to say, “Rest assured, if I’m going to support you, naturally I won’t let others benefit at no cost. This body, I will take control back very soon.”

Lily huffed coldly, keeping her lips sealed.

But the man continued on his own to warn her, “And about Ben Lucas, I’ll take you to see him and invent a reason why you had no choice but to leave. Play the role of a mother well, and I’ll give you another sum of money.”

As long as money could solve it, it wasn’t a difficult matter.

Since this woman was so greedy, then fine, Aidan Lucas had plenty of money; that was the least of his concerns. He could use money to keep her by his side, for a lifetime.

“Mr. Lucas, all your proposals are very good. However, first, I think you need to prove that you can control your own body at will. After all… the tales of the other Mr. Lucas brutally attacking any woman who comes near have reached my ears. I certainly don’t want to accidentally incur that one’s wrath and end up being beaten half to death without making a dime.”

Lily’s pretty peach-blossom eyes blinked teasingly.

He merely hesitated for half a second before making a decision.

“Stay, and I will prove it to you soon,” Aidan Lucas’s deep and untroubled eyes were determined and calm.

Both personalities in him were equal in their own right.

And as the primary personality, he had existed for longer.

Had it not been for the loss of his fighting spirit, he would not have let his other self so easily take over his body for four years.

In the past, it was only because he refused to wake up.

But now… he had regained his desire to compete with the second personality for control of his body.
