Chapter 932: Chapter 935: Ben Lucas Appears (3) Chapter 932: Chapter 935: Ben Lucas Appears (3) Lily turned her head to look at the little boy sitting next to her, not even having the courage to tell him her true identity.
The little boy looked down at the stone steps beneath his feet and said faintly, “I know you dealt with those won to stand up for .”
Afraid that she wouldn’t understand, he added another sentence.
“In the banquet hall, I saw it all.”
“You…”
It turned out that Ben had also been there at that ti.
Lily suddenly recalled that when she attended banquets in Europe, she would often hide herself away.
Sitting in so inconspicuous corner, or in a lounge with an excellent view, secretly appreciating the myriad human interactions at the banquet.
But if Ben had been there at that ti, what would he have felt hearing those people mock him?
And Milly, she was supposed to be soone Ben could trust, but she…
Lily felt her whole heart subrged in a solution of sorrow.
Before she could think further, she was already hugging the little boy tightly with pity.
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”
I’m sorry, it’s all mother’s fault, it’s all because I left you here.
She kept saying sorry, pressing the boy’s tiny fra into her embrace.
Her head rested on his tender shoulders, crying her heart out.
The little boy let her hug him.
For the first ti, he didn’t feel like pushing away this person.
It seed that embracing was no longer a difficult touch.
Her warm embrace felt even softer and more fragrant than he expected.
In Ben’s solemn and indifferent face, a subtle change finally occurred.
His arms, which had hung at his sides, were slowly lifting.
Not until Lily hugged him and wept so much that she couldn’t utter another word,
Did his tender hands finally touch her back.
It was the first ti in his life that he had taken the initiative to hug soone.
“Don’t cry anymore, it’s not your fault. You were brave, and you drove all the bad won away,” the little boy slightly furrowed his brow, comforting her with a touch of sympathy.
Why is she crying again?
It seems she must be in a really bad mood.
With this thought, Ben didn’t say more, gently patting her back and letting her cry.

After a mont, Lily finally managed to restrain her emotions.
She wiped away her tears and sat next to the little boy.
Silently telling herself that she was a mother, she should set a good example.
Unfortunately, the next thing Ben said made her inner resolve crumble.
“I saw you crying as you left the hotel, and I’ve been following you ever since.”
“…”
Did that an he had followed her the whole way?
Then the embarrassing spectacle of her crying as she walked, utterly uncomposed, was all witnessed by Ben?!
Lily suddenly felt her worldview collapsing.
She had been silently observed by her own son in utter disarray.
As a mother, her score was already failing.
And now he had seen her crying without any composure.
It’s over…
Lily thought she might never be able to acknowledge her son for the rest of her life.
As she was thinking this, she heard Ben say, “I haven’t introduced myself, I am that Ben they talk about; my na is Jordan Lancaster.”
“You, you are Ben?” Lily feigned surprise, feeling guilty for her own deceit.
She had guessed his identity the mont she saw him.
Yet she dared not acknowledge him.
This beautiful opportunity to be with Ben, she didn’t want to break it lightly.
“Yes, Ben is my nickna; my na is Jordan Lancaster.”
After the little boy spoke, he looked up at her, “What about you, what’s your na?”
Lily’s heart skipped a beat, uncertain which identity of hers to reveal.
