Chapter 831: Chapter 834 I Want You! (Extra 4)
This feeling was terrible.
Aidan Lucas put his cell phone aside, forcing himself to calm down.
This woman named Alice was too strange; she always managed to stir up his emotions out of nowhere.
It was precisely because he knew this, knew she was odd to him, that he had deliberately kept his distance from her.
Because, ever since he first laid eyes on her, something instinctual within him seemed to react.
As soon as he saw her, he wanted to be good to her.
...
He wanted to spoil her, to make her laugh…
Such feelings were not only foreign to him but also dangerous.
He always hated situations he couldn’t control, which was why he gave her the role she wanted but kept her far away.
Just as he was thinking, his cell phone buzzed again.
Aidan Lucas pretended not to hear it, telling himself to ignore it.
His brows furrowed as he continued to go through the documents in his hand.
But just half a minute later, the neglected cell phone found its way back into his palm.
“You wouldn’t even let me act with other men during the audition. Are you sure you can stand me acting opposite other men in a sealed environment for six months? If you don’t mind, then I don’t have a problem with it! (/playful)”
Aidan Lucas remained silent.
Perhaps this woman was right; if she really acted that way with other men.
If he didn’t know, he might be fine, but if he found out…
A dark coldness flitted through his deep black pupils.

Lily had been waiting on the bed for quite a while, yet the man hadn’t replied.
She couldn’t help but wonder, had her last message been too blunt and angered Aidan Lucas?
But no, she sent that message precisely because she knew her man was extremely possessive.
The message should have been just right.
Lily tossed and turned, waiting for a long while without seeing a reply from Aidan Lucas, finally unable to resist, she sent another message.
“So, what do you say, do you accept my reasoning?”
After a long wait, just when she thought Aidan Lucas might not reply anymore, he finally did.
“Mmm.”
Just one word, nothing else, still no punctuation.
Lily held her forehead, remembering times when they were together, he had MAX level flirting skills.
Why had he become so terse now?
Winning him back was indeed difficult!
“What does ‘mmm’ mean? Do you think I’m making sense?”
She edited another text and sent it.
This time, the reply came back quickly.
“Mmm.”
Still just the one simple word.
Mmm again?
Lily pouted her lips, thought for a moment, and decided to escalate the situation.
“Since you also think I’m making sense, then tell me, should you not compensate me for the great opportunity I lost because of you?”
On the other end of the line, Aidan Lucas’s deep black pupils stared at the latest text message on the cell phone screen.
A trace of dim light flickered through his cool, temperatureless gaze.
His slender fingers caressed the screen, and after a long while, they began to move again.
“What compensation do you want?” he surprisingly sent a complete sentence.
“I want you!” Lily quickly edited the text message and sent it.
Her heart beat faster and faster with each passing second of waiting.
Thump—
Thump—
Lily’s beautiful peach blossom eyes were glued to the cell phone screen, her breathing even stopped.
She held her breath, staring at her phone without blinking, waiting only for his reply.
Finally, the phone vibrated.
A new message displayed on the screen.
