Lily had just hung up the phone when the door to the study room was pushed open.
A tall figure of a man appeared at the doorway.
"Finished with your work?" She walked over with a smile and threw herself into the man's embrace.
Aidan Lucas picked her up effortlessly, his large hand steadying her as he bent down to kiss her tender lips.
"Mmm, the alarm went off just now, did it scare you?" His little one was so delicate, he really feared she might have started crying.
The moment Aidan Lucas heard the alarm, he immediately rushed back, his mind filled with thoughts of his little one.
"No, I'm not a child anymore; how could I be so fragile?" Lily nestled in his arms, feeling utterly comfortable no matter how she was held.
Seeing her looking so natural and not at all scared, Aidan Lucas carried her over to the sofa.
He let the woman settle into a more comfortable position nestled in his embrace.
