Chapter 825: Chapter 828: She is a Good Mother
She fought back tears and answered, “Your mother… she was a very gentle and kind person.”
“She… was really good. And believe … she actually loved you very much…”
“I know.” Ben Lucas’s restrained voice ca from the other end of the phone.
“I know, she was good, she loved … If it hadn’t been for that accident, she wouldn’t have left .”
His rare display of true emotion, while being mightily restrained, still let his trembling voice betray the longing for his deceased mother deep in his heart.
Lily clutched her lips tightly on the other end of the phone, already in tears, her condition was not much better than Ben Lucas’s.
...
But now, she felt happy, very happy, incredibly happy!
She had never thought that one day, she would be able to hear Ben Lucas say those words to her.
“She was good, she loved …”
In that mont, she truly did not regret her decision.
She even felt grateful to Aidan Lucas, grateful to Emily Taylor, thankful that they had not told Ben Lucas the truth about what had happened back then.
At least this way, Ben Lucas could still keep in his heart the love for her, his irresponsible mother.
And not hate her to the bone for her unilateral choice to leave…
Jordan Lancaster’s emotions temporarily spiraled out of control, but quickly, he pressed down the surging feelings, “I’m sorry, I just got a little carried away.”
Ben Lucas had always been well-mannered, but hearing him quickly calm down and speak in a detached tone made Lily feel a bone-deep chill in her heart.
This child was too sensible.
Sensibly terrifying.
Even a child as wise and mature as Abbie had a playful side of a child.
But Ben Lucas, he seed even more composed and steady than Abbie.
Lily couldn’t help wanting to console him, but Ben Lucas had already said goodbye and hung up the phone.
Listening to the dial tone, she desperately wanted to redial the number.
…
When Sadie entered the office to report on work, what she saw was Lily sitting still behind her office desk, motionless with the phone in hand.
“Arianna, what’s wrong?” She walked over, took the phone out of Lily’s hand, and hung it up for her.
Seeing Sadie, Lily grasped her hand excitedly, “Sadie, just now… my son called .”
“Abbie?”
“No, it was Ben Lucas. My eldest son, the one I… abandoned in A City back then.”
Upon hearing this, Sadie’s eyes slightly widened.
She held Lily’s hand firmly, “Listen, Arianna, that child wasn’t abandoned by you. Things were complicated back then, and many matters were not within your control. Now that you’ve co back, intending to reclaim your happiness, why not be bolder and talk it out with your eldest son directly?”
“You’re mother and son, he should understand you.”
Sadie and Lily had a very close relationship. There were many things Lily couldn’t discuss with her family but could with Sadie.
“It’s different, Sadie. Ben Lucas has always thought I was dead. Just now on the phone, he thought I was a friend of his mother, even asked what kind of person his mother really was. I could feel that he is still filled with mories and love for the role of a mother. But I’m afraid… I’m afraid that telling the truth might disappoint him.”
Sadie looked at Lily, having watched her grow step by step over the years.
She had beco increasingly strong.
But now she realized, no matter how strong a woman is, when she faces her children, she still fears gains and losses.
