Chapter 273: 276: Who Is That Man To You? (Reward for more updates)
“Skye… I’m sorry, I overslept… I just came downstairs.”
Standing at the staircase, Skye saw Lily Gray coming down the stairs and couldn’t help but smile.
From Lily’s angle, seeing Skye with her hair tied in a ponytail and the shallow dimples on her cheeks, her smile was still as sweet and pleasant as before.
“Lily, you finally got up! But don’t worry, I can understand your ‘hard work’… 1 have urgent matters to attend to now, and I’ll come back to see you after I’m done.”
As a person, Skye wasn’t petty at all, so she couldn’t possibly get mad just because Lily hadn’t greeted her when she woke up.
She had come back to deal with important work matters this time, and she would be contacting her work partner later today.
After getting in touch, she would have to come back to find Lily and have a thorough “interrogation” with her.
Lily Gray’s face flushed red at Skye’s suggestive “hard work” remark.
Lily walked over, grabbed Skye’s hand, and insisted, “What urgent matter do you have? Can’t it be more important than me… We haven’t seen each other for so long, can you keep me company for a meal before you go?”
Although Skye was in a hurry, she couldn’t resist Lily’s pleading.
They had been like this since the past, and for some reason, the two of them felt like natural friends.
What Skye could least stand was Lily’s coquettish manner.
“Alright, alright… you win. You were so tired last night, so you must be hungry. Let’s go, 1’11 accompany you for a meal.”
Although teased by Skye’s mischievous smile, Lily Gray was elated.
Her mood, brighter than usual, led her to arrange a special brunch in the “glass room” for Skye.
The Lucas family villa had a glass room, with soft couches and low tables, surrounded by glass walls and hung with curtains.
On a winter day, the warm sunlight could be absolutely cozy.
“Come on, let’s sit.”
Delicate dishes quickly filled the low table, and Lily Gray led Skye to sit down, dismissing the other attending servants.
As soon as everyone left, Skye couldn’t help but immediately ask, “Spill the beans, tell me what’s up… that cold-hearted, intimidating Mr. Lucas, who is he to you?”
She had heard Austin Lucas’s name the night before, but it sounded both familiar and strange at the same time.
Lily Gray’s ears turned red at Skye’s straightforward question.
She knew that if she was alone with Skye, she would definitely ask this question.
But, should she tell Skye that Mr. Lucas is her husband?
After hesitating for a few seconds, she finally decided not to tell Skye about her contract marriage with Ethan Wilson.
Just pretend that they broke up on normal terms in the future.
“Actually… he’s my husband,” Lily Gray said softly.
“Hus… husband?” Skye’s eyes widened in surprise.
After a few seconds, she burst into laughter.
“Haha, Lily, well done! You left that hypocritical and blind guy, Austin Lucas, and found such a great husband… Oh my, I can’t help but laugh when 1 think about the expressions of those people when they find out the truth. My stomach hurts!”
Skye covered her stomach while laughing exaggeratedly.
She had never liked Vivian Walters, and Lily was quite naive, well-protected by Mrs. Gray.
But Skye was different; she lost her mother at a young age, and she had witnessed the malicious nature of people, especially when dealing with a mistress who bullied her.
She had always suspected that Vivian Walters was hiding something, and every time she saw her looking at Lily Gray with seemingly innocent eyes, she could sense the jealousy beneath.
As expected, once she left, Vivian showed her true colors.
“But now, this is really fun! Vivian Walters wanted to snatch your man away, but little did she know that you would find someone even better afterward. Haha, 1 wonder…. after learning the truth, will she try to steal your current husband from you?”
