Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love

Chapter 635 -638: Outbreak of Conflict

Lily Gray didn’t want Aidan Lucas to worry, so she mustered a smile at him.

Upon seeing Lily’s comforting smile, a sense of guilt flashed in Noah Ford’s eyes.

He walked over, took her left hand, “Lilith, I’m sorry…”

“Because of my past mistakes, you have an extra younger sister. I heard that Oliver had already told you about Hannah in advance. I cannot ask for your forgiveness, but I just want to say sorry to you.”

“I’m sorry, Lilith… I had my reasons for acting that way.”

A deep regret and pain reflected in Noah’s eyes.

Some things, he alone bears, and has borne for far too long.

So long that he no longer has the courage to face the truth.

All he could do was apologize profoundly, “Lilith, I’m really sorry…”

Lily knew that the ‘hardship’ Noah was referring to was Bella Scott suffering from postpartum depression, and despite being in such a tough spot, he had to take Hannah back.

She could understand it. After all, a life was at stake.

But… why did her heart still feel so sour and bitter?

She took a deep breath and managed to smile lightly, “Dad, you don’t need to apologize, nor feel guilty. I understand it all. Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

“Lilith…” Noah struggled to speak.

He didn’t expect that Lily would comfort him instead.

Indeed… She and her mother were the most wonderful people in this world.

“Lilith, thank you for your understanding. Rest assured, I have already made arrangements. Once Hannah recovers, we’ll send her back to M Country. From then onwards, I will not let her disturb your life again.”

Lily just nodded, not saying anything.

She knew that, regardless, Hannah had lived in the Ford family for over a decade.

This was probably the best arrangement the Ford family could come up with.

Although she thought so, her beautiful peach blossom eyes still dimmed for a moment.

“Mr. Ford…” Skye Brown, who was sitting on one side, suddenly stood up.

She couldn’t stand Lily’s submissive behavior.

“I don’t understand, now that you’ve found Lily, why do you still have to keep that troublemaker Hannah in the Ford family?”

“Yes, you indeed didn’t have a choice then because of Mrs. Ford’s illness so you had to take a child home. In some ways, Hannah might have been innocent at that time. But…”

“You all need to make it clear. She knowingly wore a necklace that didn’t belong to her, even had no shame to wear a fake one. It shows that she is of poor character! Besides, she wore that necklace thinking of blackmailing and seducing the husband of your own daughter.”

“I suspect that Hannah knew that Lily was the owner of that necklace and she did all that maybe because she didn’t want you to find Lily back!”

“A woman as cruel and calculating as her, if she continues to stay in the Ford family, who knows what other outrageous things she will do in the future! If you don’t send her away, aren’t you afraid that she would pose a continuous threat to Lily?!”

Skye was always hot-tempered. Moreover, it was Lily who was being wronged now.

To her, that was even more unbearable than being wronged herself.

Every single word of Skye hit hard, causing Noah’s face to change between shades of white and green.

Noah knew he was in the wrong, so he did not argue. He just clenched Lily’s hand tighter, wanting to reassure her that he was on her side.

But what he overlooked was…

In the Ford family, not everyone would stand with Lily like he and Oliver did.

For instance, Albert Landers definitely wouldn’t.

“Who do you think you are? This is a family matter. Who gave you the right to chime in?” Albert Landers walked around the bed, hands in his pockets, and questioned Skye with an insouciant tone.
