Chapter 22: Chapter 25: Evil Mother-in-Law Comes to “Catch Adultery”
Translator: 549690339
After a night, the effect of the drug wore off, and everything finally came to an end.
Lily Gray slowly woke up, not knowing where she was. She looked around and guessed she must be in a hotel.
As Lily Gray was thinking about how to leave, whether or not she could still wear the dress she wore last night, the sound of running water suddenly came from the bathroom.
Did that man go into the bathroom?
Knowing that the other party was no longer by her side, Lily Gray finally had the courage to turn around and observe her surroundings.
Unfortunately, after looking for a long time, everything was fuzzy.
“If 1 knew this would happen, I wouldn’t have worn contact lenses. Every time I wear them, something bad happens.”
Regretting, she lied back on the bed; the sticky feeling all over her body was unbearably uncomfortable.
Just then, the sound of talking came from outside the door.
Although the voice was not loud, Lily Gray instantly recognized who was speaking.
The sharp boastful voice of Michelle Carter came from outside the door, “She must be in this room; we’ve searched all the rooms on the second floor… only this room was locked from the inside.”
“But Mrs. Lucas, the butler merely agreed to let you look for your daughter-in-law on the second floor. If you barge in like this and disturb other guests, it would be wrong.”
After a pause, the sound of messy footsteps came from outside the door again.
“Mr. Mckinley, your timing is just right. My daughter-in-law must be in this room. Can you please get the key and open the door for me…? I’m not afraid of losing face today. Our Lucia family has such a reckless daughter-in-law. It’s really our fault!”
“Mrs. Lucas, there’s no need to rush, Madam Lucas has just gotten up and 1 have sent someone to inform her. If she agrees, I will naturally open the door for you, but if she does not… I’m afraid 1 can’t help.” Mr. Mckinley is the father of Samuel Mckinley and has served the Lucas family for many years.
He naturally knew about the love Madam Lucas had for Lily Gray, and also knew that Lily Gray was the daughter-in-law of Michelle Carter.
Anyone else would never dare to make a fuss about catching an adulterer in the Lucia family’s mansion. But because the female lead of this incident is Lily Gray, if she did not allow Michelle Carter to come in, Michelle Carter would make up unfounded accusations against Miss Gray in the future.
That’s why he allowed Michelle Carter to lead the search on the second floor earlier.
While Mr. Mckinley insisted on waiting for Madam’s reply, Michelle Carter was anxious, but she did not dare to act recklessly in the Lucas household. Lily Gray was in the room, hearing everything clearly, she knew Michelle Carter and her people had blocked the door. She hastily grabbed a man’s shirt, put it on randomly, and dashed into the bathroom.
She must get that man to leave now!
Her mind was chaotic, and her vision was blurry. Only a white shirt was casually worn on her body, her fair legs exposed from under the hem of the shirt, looking straight and slender.
The bathroom door was opened by her. In the misty steam, the man’s figure was faintly visible.
That person had just finished taking a shower. There was a bath towel around his waist. He turned around and looked at her, covered in steam.
“You…” Lily Gray paused for a moment, then quickly stepped forward and grabbed the man’s arm.
It was only at times like this when she would feel thankful that her eyesight was bad, so she wouldn’t feel shy about seeing the man’s naked body.
“You must leave quickly, it’s dangerous outside… there’s no time to explain, you have to go out through the window.”
Grabbing the man’s solid and robust arm, Lily Gray pulled it forcefully a few times, but he still stood unmoved at his original spot.
She pushed him urgently again: “You… why aren’t you leaving, why are you still standing here!”
The man lowered his head and stared at her, a glimmer of coldness emerged in his eyes: “1 absolutely will not climb out the window.”
“Then…then you hide first… hide under the bed…” Before she could finish speaking, the man standing still suddenly started to move towards the outside of the bathroom.
“Hey, where are you going to hide?”
Aidan Lucas paused for a moment when he heard her words and turned to look at her with an interested gaze.
“To open the door.” He finished speaking and strode out of the bathroom..
