When Lady Morgan issued the order for her to leave, she didn’t take the ticket. She just said with tears in her eyes, "I know. I’ll explain it to Lucas... it’s just that I met him too late."
That night, Lily Grant packed her things simply, and even though Lady Morgan repeatedly said she could leave the next day, Lily insisted.
Furthermore, being "considerate," she didn’t leave through the front door but snuck out through the back.
Lily’s insistence on leaving had a reason... she needed to make Lucas Morgan anxious!
In the Morgan family, all she could rely on was Lucas’s deep affection for her. She clearly knew that only Lucas would protect her at all costs.
If she left the next day, everything would be too calm.
She had to leave secretly before the banquet ended so that Lucas would look for her, would find a way to know what had just happened.
"You know, someone like Lucas Morgan is really simple. As long as you find his Achilles’ heel, he’ll be utterly loyal."
Lily tilted her head, smiling as she looked at Chloe Grant.
Her posture was like a proud peacock that had secured victory.
"Yesterday when I left the banquet, he followed me. Seeing me squatting on the ground, hugging myself and crying, he was distressed beyond measure and promised to get engaged to me. Oh... I learned the trick of crying while squatting from you.
I always remember that when you squatted on the ground crying, Lucas would rush over to hold you, soothe you for a long time, and promise to fulfill any request you had.
Back then, I thought, this trick must be kept."
Lily reached out, covering her mouth, laughing quietly.
Chloe remained silent, just looking at her, with little expression.
Lily put down her hand and continued, "You tell me, how could Lucas Morgan, the second young master of the Morgan family, grandpa so shrewd and sensible, be so foolish?"
Lily remarked generally, reaching out to play with the curtain tassel in Chloe’s hand.
"He’s not foolish; he’s just emotional." Chloe replied calmly.
She understood because she and Lucas were the same kind of people.
Both would be touched when someone hit their soft spot, falling for the other unconditionally.
Others thought the second young master of the Morgan family was a flamboyant, unruly demon, but little did they know, his true heart was that of a child longing for comfort and affirmation.
Lily hit that soft spot in his heart, making him commit to her. It was because he committed to her that he would tolerate whatever Lily did, would indulge her.
Protecting one’s woman is the most basic gentlemanly demeanor of a man.
So every time Lucas defended Lily, Chloe felt hatred and anger, but in the end, it would turn into understanding.
Because she was that kind of person too...
Chloe from the beginning only had a faint affection for Lucas, just a liking.
It was just when Chloe was at her most upset, it was Lucas who accompanied her, making her once shallow affection turn into the deepest feelings.
She remembered when she first arrived at the Morgan family, Chloe actually couldn’t sleep every night.
Because she originally had night blindness, couldn’t see at night, coupled with being in a new environment, her emotions were agitated, causing insomnia.
Later, one night, she felt a pair of hands caressing her forehead in a daze, softly saying, "Sleep."
It was like magic, Chloe gradually fell asleep.
For the next few days, she was coaxed to sleep like that.
