Chapter 933: Chapter 936: Ben Lucas Appears (4)

Seeing that Lily did not respond, the boy’s indifferent black pupils flickered with a hint of disappointment.

“If you don’t want to talk about it, then never mind.”

Her performance in the banquet hall gave him a different feeling.

It turned out she was just like everyone else.

Lily had been paying careful attention to the boy’s every move.

Seeing his bright eyes dim momentarily, her heart suddenly clenched.

Without a second thought, she spoke words of comfort, “No, it’s not that I don’t want to talk. I’m just a bit surprised. So you’re Jordan Lancaster… I’m Lily Redington, we talked on the phone, remember?”

She spoke to him in an upbeat tone, not wanting to see the disappointment in his clear, dark eyes.

“So you are Lily Redington?” The boy’s handsome eyes sparkled with a trace of light.

After Lily and Dominic Taylor had an argument in the banquet hall, he had to leave for a bit and did not hear their conversation.

And of course, he did not know that this woman was Lily Redington.

So, was she the woman whom Milly Gray claimed deliberately mimicked his mother?

Ben Lucas observed her with his black pupils full of inquiry.

So, this was what his mother looked like.

Even with her makeup ruined from crying, she was still beautiful and fragrant.

“Um…” Lily nodded, feeling a bit uneasy about meeting the little boy’s starry eyes, “Are you… a bit disappointed?”

Disappointed because she was Lily Redington.

After all, Ben Lucas might have started to feel a bit of fondness for her just because she had inadvertently defended him.

“Why would I be disappointed?” Ben Lucas said, looking into her beautiful peach-blossom eyes, feeling nothing but fondness.

“Because… I am Lily Redington. You must have heard a lot about me, right?”

Ben Lucas must have been able to call her initially because Rowena Gray and Milly Gray had complained to him.

She had no idea just how much those two women had badmouthed her to him.

Even though, after the incident in the banquet hall, Ben Lucas had seen Milly Gray’s hypocrisy in private.

But to Ben Lucas, they were still family.

She, on the other hand, was probably just a stranger who bullied his great-aunt and Auntie.

Upon hearing her words, Ben Lucas frowned slightly.

After thinking for a moment, he said, “I’ve heard some things, but…”

“But what?” Lily asked anxiously, her complexion changing.

Seeing her anxiety, a warm hue flashed through Ben Lucas’s ice-cold eyes, “But, those don’t matter.”

“How could they not matter?”

She was eager to find out exactly what awful things Milly Gray and Rowena Gray had said about her.

She wanted to clear things up one by one, to explain everything, hoping to change Ben Lucas’s impression of her.

“Because…” The little boy suddenly stood up from the stone steps and slowly walked up to Lily who was sitting still.

He reached out his hand and suddenly wrapped it around Lily’s neck from the front.

“Because, I only trust myself.”

“You…” Lily was stunned, completely taken aback.

But Ben Lucas, for a rare moment, curved his lips into a smile.

Even if his slightly upturned lips paired with his cold, stern features seemed a bit odd.

He said, “I trust only what I see and hear for myself. You’ve been good to me; I know that.”

After finishing his words, the boy bent his little arms, embracing her.

He trusted his feelings alone.

This woman, whom others said imitated his mother, felt nothing but good when he held her.

Even if it was pretend, he liked her.

Because when she hugged him, she had the scent of a mother.

Lily returned to the hotel.

Standing at the door of the room, she held her room key, somewhat preoccupied.

“Why don’t you open the door?”

Behind her, the serious and composed little boy gently urged.

Lily looked uneasily at the little tail following her and hesitated to ask, “Are you sure you want to sleep with me tonight?”
