Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love

Chapter 1009: Chapter 1012: Holding the Contraceptive, Hesitating Chapter 1009: Chapter 1012: Holding the Contraceptive, Hesitating “One day, we will both grow old, and even pass away. David can’t possibly look after Lily for his entire life; he will have his own family eventually. That’s why, I must find a man that she can rely on, who can take care of her.”

Duke furrowed his brow, his deep blue eyes narrowing slightly.

“Are you saying that Richard Coldwell can take care of Lily for a lifetime? But he seems too cold and indifferent. Such an impassive man, I doubt his feelings for Lily, all tinged with reality and utilitarianism.”

“What’s wrong with being realistic and pragmatic? As long as Lily is the young lady of the Reddington family, his feelings for her will remain unchanged. That is far more stable than those feelings that can’t withstand the test of time and external temptations. Besides, even though Richard Coldwell doesn’t show much warmth to the two little kids, I like it—he doesn’t go out of his way to please them.”

Every man who seeks Lily’s favor always turns their gaze upon the two little kids.

They curry favor, even fawningly say that they will treat the two babies as if they were their own children.

But none of them have spent time with the children, and yet they say such things without fear of being laughed at for their blatant lies.

After all, although Sylvia Scott is eager to find a life partner for Lily,
She looks down upon those who are obsequiously ingratiating.

On the contrary, Richard Coldwell, with his cool and self-disciplined nature, does not like to engage in flattery.

Upon first meeting, he clearly told Sylvia Scott that he only needed a marriage partner, would give her the honor of being his wife in name, and treat her with respect.

Even though it sounds cruel, sometimes this kind of mutual ‘transaction’ can appear more sincere than pretense and feigned affection.

In light of this, Sylvia Scott made a special exception for Richard Coldwell.

She allowed him to take the two little kids to Eastonia, partly to give him the chance to spend more time with Lily,
And partly out of her own selfish desire, hoping that Richard Coldwell’s involvement would help improve the relationship between Larry Scott and Lily.

Duke Redington, knowing he couldn’t persuade his wife, could only wrap his arms around her and sighed, “Let it be, grandchildren have their own blessings; perhaps your arrangements will unintentionally result in a fine marriage. Richard Coldwell may seem cold and heartless, but such people are often the most passionate. If he truly falls for Lily, I believe that even if he were to shatter into pieces, he would protect her.”

Sylvia nestled in Ken Redington’s embrace, watching the car carrying her grandsons disappear into the distance.

At that moment, she hoped that Ken’s words would come true.

“Yes, let’s go back. Once we finish up here, we’ll also return to Eastonia. But… before that, you’ll have to figure out how to give David a satisfactory explanation,” she said.

Taking advantage of David’s business trip to hand over the two little kids to Richard Coldwell, even though Richard has a good relationship with David, she feared that when their son returns, he would still lose his temper with them.

Meanwhile, in Eastonia.

After an intimate moment with Lily, Aidan Lucas finally let go of the woman and left the condominium for his office.

Lily hurriedly left Aidan’s apartment and returned to the hotel.

As soon as she entered the room, she searched for her vitamin bottle.

Just as she was about to take a pill from the bottle and put it into her mouth, she hesitated.

She had been secretly taking oral contraceptive pills behind Aidan’s back.

She was on a long-term contraceptive, which required taking a pill every day except during her menstrual period.

This type of long-term contraceptive hardly harms the body and also helps regulate hormonal balance.

Only…

Holding the pill, Lily felt uncertain.

[Author’s Note] Afraid of making you wait, I’m updating four chapters first. The additional four chapters are not finished yet, I’ll publish them all together once they are done. Also, to announce the update time, I’ve always said it’s between 8:00 and 10:00 PM! Not 8:00!
