Chapter 929: Chapter 932: Leaving in Tears Chapter 929: Chapter 932: Leaving in Tears “Eccentric and aloof… Ben? No, that can’t be…” Lily, whose mind had already drifted away, found her thoughts returning upon hearing the na ‘Ben’.
She looked towards Emily Taylor, her eyes revealing a disbelief she dare not acknowledge.
Her Ben, the child who used to smile so adorably as a little boy.
Even if his personality had changed as he grew up, he shouldn’t have beco an eccentric and aloof person.
Lily still rembered the last ti he called her.
He was polite and composed on the phone, nothing like an eccentric and aloof child.
“How could it not be? What’s so strange about a child becoming increasingly eccentric and aloof after growing up without a mother’s love?”
Moreover, his father was such a quirky, ruthless, and vicious man.
“Mom… no, Mrs. Lucas…”
Lily suddenly ca to a realization, rushing forward and embracing Emily Taylor.
“Mrs. Lucas, I beg you, let see Ben. I want to see him… I want to apologize to him… I want to make ands, I can’t let him be alone!”
“What’s the use of seeing him now? When he needed you most, you weren’t there for him. Your appearance now will only make him realize what a despicable person his mother is!”
“My grandson has already been traumatized once; do you really want to put him through that pain again?”
Emily Taylor forced herself to harden her heart.
She coldly kicked away Lily, who was clinging to her.
Because of Emily Taylor’s words, Lily, even when pushed away, felt nothing.
She sat on the ground, her eyes vacant and drifting.
Not worthy…
She was, after all, soone unworthy…
It dawned on her that her leaving had been in vain.
In the end, she hadn’t saved or protected anyone; instead, she had hard her own child.
Emily Taylor was also very agitated at that mont.
When Lily Gray, who had disappeared for four years, suddenly reappeared, she really wanted to question her, to curse her out loud.
But seeing her sitting on the ground, dispirited, with empty, lifeless eyes, her heart eventually softened.
“Forget it… after all, we were once mother and daughter-in-law. I don’t want to make things difficult for you anymore. Today is a special day I arranged for Ethan Wilson to have a blind date; he will have a new life in the future, and so will you.”
“Lily, your ties with our family have already ended. Ethan and Ben can’t withstand your tornt anymore. If you still rember the kindness I and the old madam have shown you in the past, then don’t cause any more trouble, and don’t approach Ethan and Ben anymore. Let’s part ways amicably.”
Emily Taylor’s words echoed in Lily’s ears.
They continued to resound until she listlessly left through the back door of the banquet hall.
Those words lingered in her ears, refusing to dissipate.
Lily left the banquet hall and wandered aimlessly outside.
She walked out the hotel entrance, stepped onto the sidewalk, crossed the street, and continued forward.
The azure blue of her expensive dress dragged on the ground.
Soon, the trailing hem beca dirty and ragged tatters.
It was like the magic a fairy bestowed upon Cinderella.
All that was bright and beautiful turned out to be just a fleeting dream.
When the spell expired, all dreams disappeared into thin air.
Lily dragged her dress aimlessly along the road.
She only stopped when she could walk no further, then sat on the steps with her soiled evening dress and her makeup ruined by tears.
Only then did she realize that without knowing it, she had walked so far.
At that mont, Lily found herself in the city park of that district.
