Chapter 1089: Chapter 1092: Tell the Child About Her Origins Chapter 1089: Chapter 1092: Tell the Child About Her Origins Handling the towel cautiously, Lily wiped away the tear stains from Ben’s face.
She also tidied up his disheveled black hair.
Monts later, the beautiful and delicate Ben reappeared in front of Lily.
Lily herself simply brushed away her own tears in haste.
Having done that, she picked up Ben and said, “Alright, let’s now go out with mother. Mother is going to formally introduce you to your brother and sister.”
Ben clung to his mother’s neck dearly, pressing his little face against hers.
No matter how mature and composed he seed in front of outsiders,
in front of his mother, he would always be the baby who never grew up, the one who depended on her.
Ben nodded obediently and in a childish and tender voice, softly said, “Okay. Ben also really wants to et his brother and sister, Ben will listen to mother.”

Lily sat at the head of the bed, holding Ben in her arms, with Abbie lying on her laps, and Lulu clinging to her arm.
All three children were well-behaved, sitting quietly, listening to her recount stories of the past.
Lily deliberately avoided the adults’ grudges and resentnts.
Although Ben and Abbie were very smart, Lulu was still too young, and there were topics Lily wouldn’t discuss in front of Lulu.
She simply told the three children that mother and father had separated years ago due to so misunderstandings.
At that ti, Ben had stayed in Eastonia, while she herself had left.
“When mother left, she didn’t even know that she was already pregnant with Abbie and Lulu. It was only upon reaching overseas that she discovered the existence of these two little lads.”
Lily emphasized this point because she was afraid Ben would misunderstand,
thinking that when she left, she had done so deliberately taking Abbie and Lulu with her and leaving him behind in the country.
“Mother also thought about secretly coming back to see you, but at that ti, one was because her physical condition didn’t allow it, and the other was… mother was too timid. She didn’t know how to face you or how to face… your father.”
“Later, after mother gave birth to Abbie and Lulu, she heard news of Mrs. Lucas’s death,” Lily relayed, speaking to Ben.
Lulu and Abbie didn’t know who Mrs. Lucas was, but Ben did.
Without Lily being explicit about the situation at the ti, Ben had already grasped his mother’s difficulties.
The people of Eastonia all thought she was dead,
Even he himself had thought the sa at the ti.
If he had been in her shoes, he might have had the sa thoughts as his mother.
Lily didn’t elaborate too much on the situation back then.
She simply stated what had happened without defending herself, wanting the three children to make their own judgnts.
A child’s heart is the purest and most transparent.
If they could accept her, she wouldn’t need to say anything; they would accept her.
If they didn’t agree, even if she spoke eloquently, it would still be futile.
“After that, mother lived in Europe with Abbie and Lulu. The reason for staying in Europe was actually another matter entirely,” she said.
“This is a complex matter to discuss, but mother feels it is necessary to let you know.”
Lily’s approach to educating her children was always like this.
She would tell them what they needed to know,
If there was sothing she couldn’t discuss, then she would just tell them that it was off-limits.
She would never arbitrarily lie or deceive.
Just like she had told Lulu back in Europe,
If there was an uncle she liked and wanted to bring ho to be Lulu’s father, she could just tell her.
That statent wasn’t to coddle Lulu, but it was spoken from the heart.
“In fact, mother’s background is very complicated,” she said.
She thought it was necessary for the children to know about the Gray family and Ford family.
They should be grateful towards the Gray family and be wary of the Ford family.
And towards Oliver Ford, this ‘uncle,’ they should feel grateful.
