Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love

Chapter 763: Chapter 766: Meeting and Recognizing Relatives

Duke Redington had always disagreed with David, and he looked down on his words.

He sneered, ready to scold David for making a fuss out of nothing, but his words were pre-emptively interrupted by Sylvia Scott.

Sylvia softened her expression, and her tone as well, and whispered, “Aaron, mom believes you. Don’t worry; if it weren’t for trusting you, your father and I wouldn’t have come overnight. I want to see that child now, let us meet her!”

David gave her a deep look, then glanced lightly at Duke Redington.

He didn’t ignore the disdain that flashed in Duke Redington’s eyes.

Sylvia immediately understood and glared at Duke Redington, “Ken, what do you say?”

What could he say?

Confronted with his beautiful wife’s peach blossom eyes, the dominating Duke Redington seemed to change entirely.

He reached out to hold Sylvia in his arms, putting on a pleasing smile, “Honey, whatever you say goes. I’ll listen to you.”

David raised an eyebrow. After so many years, Duke Redington hadn’t changed a bit.

Sylvia nodded noncommittally and turned to David, “Aaron, you heard your father. He’ll cooperate. Now, can you take us in?”

David’s formal demeanor revived Sylvia’s wavering heart.

She knew that her son wouldn’t joke about such a thing.

She had only asked that question out of fear that he might have made a mistake and given her false hope.

But now, with David standing so firm, Sylvia couldn’t help but feel hopeful.

Baby…

Was her child, who died right after birth, really still alive?

Lily Gray sat on the sofa waiting for a while and hadn’t seen David return.

She felt a bit anxious, holding the pillow and felt something was wrong. She placed it aside.

But as soon as she let it go, she felt uncomfortable, and she picked it back up, holding it in her arms.

It seemed sitting wasn’t very comfortable either.

She figured it was probably due to the discomfort of the postpartum binder she was wearing. Seeing no movement by the door, she stood up, intending to adjust it.

She stood up, bent her head, and adjusted her binder through her pajamas.

After sorting it out, she sat back down, amazed at her ability.

Just the day after giving birth, she could not only walk normally but also take care of herself.

She remembered the first time, after giving birth, she was meticulously taken care of in the hospital for a whole month.

Back then, she was Mrs. Lucas. Many people took care of her, and Aidan Lucas treated her with utmost care.

He would personally bathe her, blow-dry her hair, and do every single thing for her. He wouldn’t even allow her to do something as trivial as putting on clothes by herself.

But thinking about it now, she was like a delicate flower back then, well protected and unable to handle any setbacks.

It was laughable that both times she’d been in a ‘family reunion’ situation happened in her postpartum period.

That time, Bella Scott had held her in tears, yet as soon as she heard that Hannah had a problem, she immediately left her aside.

And this time…

Lily lowered her eyes, not knowing if she would be disappointed once again.

While she was lost in thought, David walked in with Ken and Sylvia.

Ken glanced at Lily, frowning imperceptibly.

From his point of view, Lily’s lowered head made her look ambiguous, which led him to subconsciously think she was trying to conceal her guilt.

As the powerful Duke Redington, he was emotionally shallow with his children and had more considerations than Sylvia.

Sylvia, on the other hand, was staring intently at Lily Gray at this moment.

She just wanted to see the child’s appearance clearly.

“Lily…” David gently called her.

Hearing his voice, Lily Gray raised her head.

And immediately, she met Bella’s gaze fixed on her.
