Chapter 761: Chapter 764: They Have Arrived
Lily Gray looked at David Redington, her heart trembling slightly.
The person visiting at this time…
Could only be David’s parents.
She felt a little panicked and resistant deep down, yet there seemed to be some hidden anticipation that shouldn’t be there.
Her emotions were too complicated to handle, and she couldn’t help but clutch the pillow in her arms.
David looked at her deeply and gave her a reassuring look.
“Don’t worry, what’s meant to come will come. Whether you want to see them or not, you should give both yourself and them a chance.”
Lily knew that David was right.
“Okay, you go and open the door.”
Upon agreeing, David nodded slightly and got up to walk towards the front door.
David’s relaxed exterior hid a turmoil of thoughts.
When the initial elation calmed down, he realized that the relationship between him and Lily was not simply about acknowledging their identities happily.
They owed Lily too much.
From the beginning, they had mistaken Lily’s identity and sought revenge on her.
His uncle’s actions, his inadequate remediation, and the Reddington Group’s behind-the-scenes push all played a part.
Although Duke Redington did not say, David knew that when his uncle suppressed the Lucas family in Eastonia, their family had also joined in.
Even though it was all a misunderstanding, the fact that it hurt Lily and drove her to a foreign land with a child could not be disputed.
No matter whether Lily wanted to acknowledge them in the end…
David clenched his fists tightly…
All he knew was that from now on, Lily was his, David Redington’s treasure.
Using the rest of their lives, they would heal and make up for all the wounds she had suffered in the past.
Having made up his mind, he opened the door and said to the couple outside, “Dad, Mom… Lily is inside.”

Standing outside the condominium were a middle-aged couple.
The man had brown hair and blue eyes, and a tall stature.
His handsome, sharp features seemed to be carved by God himself, exuding perfection and depth.
He had a pair of deep blue eyes similar to David’s, but unlike David’s usual cold and dignified air, his eyes were more domineering.
His presence alone emitted an unquestionable sense of strength and stability.
This was Duke Redington, who controlled the entire black market in Europe.
Next to him was the Duchess, who was not overshadowed by the Duke’s powerful presence at all.
In contrast to Bella Scott’s gentle softness, Duchess Sylvia Scott had a slender figure, with bright and elegant features and long black hair cascading down her shoulders.
Though middle-aged, time had left almost no marks on her face.
Her peach blossom eyes, identical to Lily Gray’s, carried a hint of a smile when they saw David.
This made her look like a suddenly blooming rose, exuding both ultimate beauty and temptation.
David’s eyes faltered; he should have understood long ago.
Hannah Ford, raised by Bella, gave people the same impression as Bella.
On the surface, they seemed delicate and gentle like white lotus flowers, but in reality, they hid dark and turbid secrets no one knew about.
They always acted innocent and fragile, making those unaware of the truth want to protect them without hesitation.
Lily, however, was different.
She was like a peerlessly charming rose, just like Sylvia, her every frown and smile revealing her own beauty and allure without constraint.
With no need to hide anything, they were both genuine and transparent on the inside and out, and even occasionally showed their thorns.
How foolish he had been to think that Lily was Bella’s daughter in the past.
They were not at all alike.
