Lily nervously gathered her collar.
"This… this is…"
Lily had wanted to say it was a mosquito bite, but then she remembered that it was autumn and almost winter, where would the mosquitoes come from?
David Redington looked at her leisurely, waiting until Lily couldn't think of any excuses and pitifully looked up, then he gently tapped her nose with his fingertip.
"Fool, if you suffer bullying and hide it from your family, others will only continue to bully you without fear."
"Brother… I really haven't been bullied…" It was all her fault, and Aidan Lucas had only misunderstood her.
"I'm your brother, are you going to lie to me for outsiders, hmm?"
David Redington's delicately beautiful blue eyes tenderly gazed at Lily, "You don't have to say it—I already know. The only person who could bully you like this and still have you desperately defending him is none other than Aidan Lucas."
David Redington wasn't asking; he was stating it.
