Mr. Lucas bowed his head and gently kissed Lily's tear-stained eyelids.
"You care about another Aidan Lucas, and I admit, it makes me jealous. But jealousy is a normal reaction because I love you, because I have an extraordinary desire to monopolize you, so I'm jealous of anything that matters to you."
"Not only am I jealous of another me, but also of your parents, your brother, and even Ben Lucas, Abbie, Lulu."
Aidan Lucas said this as he kissed the little person nestled in his arms.
His tone was deep and husky, with a patience and gentleness he had never shown before.
"Since childhood, the second personality and I have known about each other's existence. Except for matters relating to women, we would share insights and thoughts. When I was a child, abused with cold violence by Theodore Lucas, he would stay with me. We would hide and comfort each other. In fact, I always thought, rather than saying he is another me, it's more like we are two halves of Aidan Lucas split."
