(Extra 3) “The situation is this… I admit, I was the stumbling block in the matter of you and her getting back together. However, Ethan, the reason I hindered you was first, because at that time, I never imagined you would accept her. I knew better than Lily how much you despised women. That you'd end up where you are now… I truly didn't see it coming.”
Whether it was the first personality or the second, both unexpectedly held deep-rooted feelings for Lily Gray.
This was indeed not Emily Taylor lying on purpose; her initial obstruction partially stemmed from the brutality of the second personality.
She simply couldn't picture him ending up with Lily.
“Beyond that, another reason… I admit, it's related to my inability to swallow my pride. You don't know about the past, so you wouldn't understand the disappointment in my heart. Initially, I was very fond of that child. Your grandmother and I truly treated her… as if she was our own beloved daughter. But then, at such a crucial moment, she… she actually left Ben and Ethan behind and went away.”
“I… I just couldn't swallow my pride and accept her coming back at this time, no matter what.”
Despite that, after the birthday dinner at Serenity Heights, her view of Lily had somewhat changed after all.
No matter the past, the Lily of now truly had a different impact on Ben.
Of course, she had also changed Aidan Lucas.
It was due to this that Emily Taylor finally relented and agreed to let Lily come home for dinner tomorrow night.
Emily Taylor thought that after saying all this, it would either provoke Aidan Lucas to defend Lily and speak ill of her.
Or, he might, like her, question Lily's past departure.
However, Aidan Lucas said nothing.
He just frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
It was only after a moment that he finally spoke, “Do you really think that Lily Gray is the type of woman who chases benefits, avoids harm, and would abandon her husband and child to enjoy life alone at a critical moment?”
“I…” Emily hadn't expected her son to ask that.
She was taken aback for a moment before responding, “But at the time, she really did just that. These things aren't made up by me; they're the truth.”
The man shook his head, his tone indifferent, “No, I'm just asking you, you've spent quite some time with her in the past, you should understand the person 'Lily Gray' better than I do.”
“Tell me, do you really think she's the kind of woman who would leave her husband and child behind in times of danger?”
Her son's words were like a heavy hammer.
Striking Emily Taylor's heart again and again.
The little moments she had shared with Lily slowly replayed in Emily's mind.
The kind girl, the child so resilient, the way she held Ben and smiled at her.
That child who loved Aidan Lucas so much, who loved Ben so much.
Whether it was towards her, the grandmother, or even Ellie, she always had a sweet smile, wanting to take good care of each one of them.
How could that Lily Gray possibly be the sort of woman who would abandon her husband and child at a crucial moment and enjoy life alone!?
“Ethan… you're right,” Emily Taylor said in a hoarse voice.
“Lily… she's not that kind of person.”
Before she even realized it, a tear rolled down her cheek.
Seeing Emily Taylor's reaction, the coldness in Aidan Lucas's deep, inky eyes finally lessened somewhat.
He gazed into Emily Taylor's eyes and said in a deep voice, “That's right, I too believe she's not that kind of woman.”
