Unfortunately, reason told him that he could not do so.
This time, it was his miscalculation, and he had wronged Hannah Ford.
“Don’t be afraid, this is the Manor, and those outside serving are all familiar faces to you.” Aidan Lucas lowered his voice, looking detached and cold.
After saying that, he gently pried Hannah’s hand off his and placed it back under the blanket.
“Mrs. Ford, would you like to stay with Hannah tonight or go rest in the guest room?” He stood up, his tone polite but his expression icy cold.
Bella Scott looked at Hannah and then at Aidan Lucas.
She knew that her daughter would want Aidan to stay with her.
But now, it was clear that Aidan had no intention of staying.
If she offered to go sleep in the guest room and Aidan left Hannah alone here, Hannah would be afraid!
Motherly love ultimately prevailed.
“I’ll stay herewith Hannah.”
“Mm.” Aidan Lucas responded indifferently, “I’ll have someone bring in extra blankets.”
The beds at the Manor were large enough to sleep five people, so he wasn’t concerned that the Ford mother and daughter would be uncomfortable tonight.
Aidan turned and prepared to leave.
Just after taking two steps, a sudden sob came from behind him.
Hearing the cry, impatience flashed across Aidan’s face.
He furrowed his brows, but in the end, he stopped walking.
He turned around and looked at the young girl sitting at the head of the bed, sobbing softly.
Aidan held back his impatience and asked, “Why are you crying again?”
It would have been better if he hadn’t asked.
Upon asking, the tears in Hannah’s eyes flowed even more torrentially.
Like pearls with a broken thread, they continuously spilled from their sockets.
“I… I heard that you’re going to announce publicly that Miss Gray is your wife. I know I’m useless, and I can’t be your wife… Ethan, I… I didn’t do it on purpose… I know that now I’m not at my best, and I’m not worthy of being your wife, but…I…”
” What?! Ethan, you’re going to introduce that woman to everyone!”
Standing on the side, Bella, hearing Hannah’s words, couldn’t help but raise her voice.
Her precious daughter, Aidan…how could he…how could he treat Hannah like this!
“Didn’t Hannah say that that woman is just a surrogate?! Aidan, how can you recognize her status publicly?”
Bella had long known about the agreement between Hannah and Aidan.
One could also say that this agreement had been made with her help.
Since Hannah couldn’t have children, they had no choice but to find another woman to carry them.
Hannah couldn’t reach out that far, so Bella had selected a few surrogate girls for her. She never expected that Aidan would end up marrying one of them.
Although Bella looked soft, she had been dealing with Noah Ford’s many lovers for many years and never lacked the means to deal with women.
“Lily is not a surrogate.” Hearing his dear Lily mentioned, Aidan’s face darkened.
His gloomy eyes fell on Bella.
It was as if an invisible pressure was pressing down on Bella’s shoulders.
Even the experienced Bella couldn’t help but retreat several steps, only stopping when her heels hit the foot of the bed.
Seeing that Bella was too scared to speak, Aidan Lucas’s cold, deep gaze fell on Hannah’s face.
“Lily is my wife, but don’t worry, I won’t break the promises I made to you. You take good care of yourself here, and when you’re better, all the promises will be fulfilled.”
[Author’s Note] To give everyone a reassurance, the baby won’t be hurt!
And don’t worry, Hannah can’t harm Lily~ ~
