Chapter 1077: Chapter 1080: Abbie gives a hint (1) (Extra 2) Chapter 1077: Chapter 1080: Abbie gives a hint (1) (Extra 2) When the topic of “identity” ca up,
Ben Lucas’s deep black pupils briefly froze.
His gaze lowered as he said, “Seeing her, you’ll know.”
The “her” Abbie figured out without being explicitly told, was his mother.
The little boy’s voice was soft, tinged with a faint huskiness.
If it wasn’t for his usually strong will, those beautiful and tranquil black pupils would probably have been moistened with tears by now.
After all, he was just a child.
Abbie felt a heavy sensation in his chest from Ben’s words.
He had only intended to tease and mock this always-serious big brother.
But hearing Ben speak in a tone so sad that even Abbie felt sorrow,
Abbie suddenly thought his prank was sowhat selfish and boring.
Oh well, there was no use keeping it from him anymore.
Anyway, such things would inevitably be known to them one day.
Little Abbie listlessly ran his fingers through his hair, revealing a struggling and hesitant expression.
“Ah, never mind, I’ll just tell you. I… I’m telling you, Lulu and I, we also don’t have a father.”
It was just the lack of a mother; they didn’t have a father either.
Except for Lulu, that little purse, who kept clamoring to find a father.
When had he ever sought one out?
Being fatherless was just that, a single-parent family; it was the sa for everyone.
This big brother nad Ben already had a father, so that made it even between him and Lulu and Abbie.
Abbie didn’t understand why Ben still wore such a disconsolate expression.
“Yeah, I know,” Ben Lucas didn’t turn around, still motionless with the original books in his hands.
He had originally wanted to say that he had a father and maybe he could share him with them.
But considering the old man’s unreliable nature,
Ben Lucas swallowed these words back down.
“You know?” Abbie raised an eyebrow skeptically, “I think you don’t know at all.”
He murmured under his breath, “If you knew, you wouldn’t have said what you did. ‘Half-siblings’… heh, that’s ridiculous.”
Abbie spoke softly, and Ben did not hear him clearly.
Finally, Ben put down his book, walked over, and took his seat.
“If you’re done laughing, we can continue.”
“You…” Abbie was at a loss for words.
He had just given a deliberate hint that he and Lulu had no father.
How could this so-called big brother show no reaction whatsoever?
Didn’t he suspect that their father might be the sa man as his?
Poor Abbie had no idea that, on Ben’s way back to the Manor, Harrison Lucas had told him everything he had heard from Benjamin Lucas IX.
Now, he believed just like Aidan Lucas that the child’s father was Richard Coldwell.
Richard Coldwell, whom Ben had seen in photographs before.
He was a legend of the Royal Military Academy.
His photograph had always been displayed on the Academy’s Wall of Honor.
Those blue eyes had beco almost a hallmark of his.
Abraham Redington couldn’t stand Ben’s reaction, but he couldn’t bring himself to tell the truth directly either.
To confess the truth would be to tell the other person that he was his full-blooded big brother.
“In the future, please don’t casually discipline !”
He didn’t want that.
He was loath to acknowledge that he was the little brother of this cold-faced boy.
But seeing the black pupils, similar yet colder than his own,
Abbie once again felt a pang of sympathy.
After struggling for a while, Abbie thought he had figured out the crucial point that Ben kept misunderstanding.
It must have been the eye color that misled him!
