Chapter 830: Chapter 833 Midnight Surprise (Add more 3)
Aidan Lucas seemed to be deep in thought, frowning contemplatively.
A moment later, he finally rubbed the center of his brows and indifferently rejected Benjamin Lucas IX’s suggestion.
“If she doesn’t want to sign, let it be. You can go out now,” he said.
Benjamin Lucas IX hadn’t expected that Mr. Lucas would act so indifferently.
He had thought that the woman was somewhat different.
After receiving the answer, he went out and called Director Cooper back.
Director Cooper delivered the news to Lily, causing her a moment of dejection.
She had thought that by refusing to sign the contract, Aidan Lucas would personally call to inquire.
But unexpectedly, she had overestimated her importance in his eyes.
That’s right… That man was probably still angry with her.
The rare instances he showed a different meaning towards her, probably were just due to old habits.
Lily felt disappointed, but she wasn’t discouraged.
She had long known that winning back Aidan Lucas would be an arduous task.

If it had been easy, it would have felt unreal to her.

Tonight, Lily returned to the hotel, had a video call with Lulu and Abbie, took a bath, and then lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
During the day, she could console herself that the path to win back Aidan Lucas required overcoming obstacles, and that a momentary failure meant nothing.
But at night, when it was quiet, feelings of emptiness and annoyance would creep into her heart.
Hugging her pillow, Lily rolled around on the bed, wondering if it would have been better to just sign the contract today and then refuse to shoot when the time came.
By then, as Aidan Lucas’s personally chosen female lead, she would surely catch his attention.
Maybe she would have the chance to sit down and talk to him face to face, instead of now, when she doesn’t even have the opportunity to see him.
Ugh, how frustrating…
Lily was already regretting it so much that she was at a loss for words.
While hugging the pillow and full of annoyance, her cell phone suddenly rang at that moment.
It was a text message alert.
It was a private number she had obtained after returning to the country, and few people would send her text messages.
Lily casually picked up the cell phone, her face still showing the frustration and regret.
However, when she saw the information displayed on the screen, her curled lashes flickered, and a glint of unexpected joy flashed through her peach blossom eyes.
All traces of annoyance and regret were swept away.
“Ah—” she cried out excitedly.
“No way… I’m not seeing things, am I!” she said.
Clutching the cell phone, Lily looked and looked again, making sure several times that she wasn’t seeing things.
The message on the screen was from an unknown number.
The content of the message was abrupt, just five words long.
“Why refuse the role?”
Not even a single punctuation mark was spared.
Despite the message seeming so inexplicable, Lily had a strong feeling in her heart upon seeing it.
This message must have been sent by Aidan Lucas!
She quickly opened the message and replied, “Because unearned wealth is too much for me, the fee for those shots is too much.”
After thinking, she felt it wasn’t quite right.
Such a response was too hollow and not direct enough.
She deleted that reply and re-edited a message she felt was better, then sent it.
Inside the study room, Aidan Lucas, who had sent the text message and then continued working, picked up the phone when it vibrated once.
He opened the message and, seeing the reason for the other party’s refusal, the previously clouded expression on his face suddenly softened.
“Because I’m afraid you’ll be jealous! (/smirk)”
Jealous?
The man unconsciously furrowed his brow and replied, “Why would I be jealous?”
This time, he even added a rare question mark.
After sending that message, Aidan Lucas suddenly realized that, while replying a moment ago, the corners of his lips had curved into a slight, warm smile.
