Aiden Grant quietly watched Lily Shaw's unwavering gaze for a long time. The helplessness on her face and the indulgence in her eyes were so familiar, they inadvertently reminded him of the Whisperwind Estate's dumpling feast when she helped Roy Thompson wash his hair in the bathroom.
This time, he no longer felt jealous or pain when recalling it.
After yesterday's escape, seeing her expression now, the Eldest Young Master Grant was no longer concerned. He finally understood why Lily Shaw, knowing full well he didn't want her getting too close to Roy, still knowingly defied him, even going so far as to wash "another man's" hair at home.
Even when caught red-handed, she remained completely unperturbed.
In her heart, she had no impure thoughts about Roy, such a handsome young man, simply treating him as her own younger brother, with a clear conscience.
Aiden connected the dots and deeply realized that at this moment, Lily Shaw genuinely regarded Roy as her own little brother.
