Chapter 1390: Chapter 1387: Opening the USB Drive, Meeting the Second Personality (Extra 3)
“Thank you for once being a part of my life…”
Lily murmured to the light.
Seeing these words, her heart suddenly skipped a beat for no reason.
In her mind, Aidan Lucas’s words inexplicably echoed—”This is the wedding ring we are presenting to you, please accept our marriage proposal.”
Who was ‘we’ in his mouth?
Certainly, Aidan Lucas didn’t mean just himself.
Lily abruptly got up from the bed, clutching the cyan brocade box as she headed for the study room.
No one was in the study room. Lily plugged the USB drive into the computer, and after a short while, a man’s figure suddenly popped up on the screen.
“Lily, it’s been a long time…” The man in a dark-patterned shirt greeted Lily from a leather sofa in front of the camera.
Lily was momentarily stunned, but the next second, from the man’s icy gaze and the way he addressed her, she guessed this was a video made by his second identity.
In the screen, the man’s cold and sharp voice softly rose.
“I’m not sure if the person I entrusted can deliver this video to you. By the time you watch this video, I guess I will no longer exist in this world.”
In the video, Aidan Lucas tugged at the corner of his lips, and a bitter smile suddenly appeared on his exceptionally handsome face.
“This way, Lily, you can probably be at ease. You like him so much, to the point where you can’t tolerate the existence of a second person… Me, a person who has troubled you, am finally leaving. This way, you can live a happy and fulfilling life.”
Aidan Lucas paused, then after a long moment, he sighed faintly, “Heh, I really can’t accept this…”
He suddenly looked up, gazing above.
His deep and cold eyes were sparkling as if they held shimmering water.
Lily’s breath caught, watching the man on the screen with an incredulous gaze.
Aidan Lucas… that man so cold and arrogant.
He… was actually crying.
“Fool, I’m not crying.”
In the video, Aidan Lucas suddenly smiled at the camera, yet a tear rolled down from the corner of his eye at the same time.
That tear, so clear and bright, traveled down the man’s sharply contoured face to his jawline and finally dropped.
Aidan Lucas frowned nonchalantly, “That’s a lie, to make you feel sad for me, because in your heart and eyes, there will always be the presence of another Aidan Lucas.”
“Lily, I also want you to cry for me, to be reckless for me. I also wish that you would like me in the same way you like him…”
His low, magnetic voice gently whispered.
Full of pain, despair.
Then, the tone shifted.
“But I know, that’s something that will never happen.”
Aidan Lucas hid the bitterness in his eyes, took a deep breath, “Alright Lily, I’m done complaining. Since I met you, I seem to have changed a lot. I, a man of few words, didn’t expect to become like this one day, how ironic.”
“Let’s not talk about that… there’s something I must tell you.”
Aidan Lucas composed himself and revealed the ways he had schemed out of jealousy to trap the first identity and alter the first identity’s memories to Lily.
“This is how it is… I originally thought that as long as I could have you, I could continue to be selfish. But when I saw you crying, when I saw you in pain, when I saw you weeping, it was the first time I realized that all of this was not what I wanted.”
In the video, the man’s deep, black eyes showed profound regret.
“I’m sorry, Lily, I deceived you. But I will make amends… What I want is for my Lily to be happy and fulfilled. What I want is the Lily who laughs, who is lively, who can be spoiled.”
