Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love

At that moment, the cell phone rang.

It was a call from David Redington.

Lily Gray collected her complicated emotions, took a deep breath, and answered the phone.

“Hello…”

As soon as she spoke, a man’s deep and pleasant voice came through the phone.

“So, were you touched by my confession just now?” David’s voice sounded very relaxed and comfortable, not at all bothered by the rumors.

“David.” Lily Gray didn’t want to beat around the bush and said solemnly, “I have to apologize to you seriously. There’s something I think I need to tell you.” She could clearly express her feelings to David or anyone else.

Yet, when facing Ethan Wilson, she always felt like she couldn’t speak up.

This was probably the difference in behavior when facing ordinary people and the one you like.

She could say even the hardest words to outsiders.

But when the person she needed to explain herself to was Ethan Wilson, many words seemed to get stuck in her throat.

David on the other side of the phone heard the seriousness in Lily Gray’s voice and couldn’t help but stop smiling.

He said softly, “Okay, go ahead.”

Lily Gray pursed her lips, and said everything in one breath, “David, 1 told you before that I’m already married. 1 wasn’t joking or lying to you. I am indeed married, not to Austin Lucas as you thought. Austin Lucas is my ex-husband. We’ve been divorced for a few months now, and I’m currently… the wife of another man.”

“Do you understand what I’m saying?”

She didn’t directly reject David, but she felt that what she had said was clear enough.

She was a married woman.

It was impossible for her and David to be together.

David shouldn’t like her, let alone pursue her openly.

After she finished speaking, she held her breath, waiting for David’s response.

The other side of the phone suddenly went quiet.

It wasn’t until a long time later that David’s magnetic, husky voice sounded low and low.

“1 understand.”

“Are you really sure?” Lily Gray couldn’t help but ask again.

After another while, she heard David softly say “Yeah”.

Then, she heard him say, “All right, Lily, I have something to do here. I’ll hang up.”

Anyone would probably feel at a loss when faced with the fact that the woman they wanted to pursue is already married, especially after he had just confessed in front of the whole world and then encountered such a fact “blow”.

Lily Gray understood and softly said goodbye to David.

Then, she securely hung up the phone.

Phew…

Although the atmosphere was a bit strange, at least one thing had been resolved.

On the other hand, after hanging up the phone, David’s deep blue eyes flashed with a cold light.

“Young Master, I’ve just received news. The Duke has learned about your confession to Miss Gray and seems to be very angry.”

Blake stood to the side, carefully reporting.

“You see, should we explain it to the Duke? After all, if he does something to Miss Gray with his means…”

Chris Reddington is David’s biological father.

He inherited the Reddington family’s dukedom, and also controlled the entire European underworld organizations.

“Huh, that man…”

Thinking of the parents who had ignored him for so many years, David’s face showed a cold and ruthless smile for the first time.

“Let him do whatever he wants. If he wants to do something to Lily Gray, I just hope… that he won’t regret it when the time comes.”
