Chapter 1054: Chapter 1057: Adopted Child? (Extra 3) Chapter 1054: Chapter 1057: Adopted Child? (Extra 3) “I…” Lily's face was a picture of confusion.
Miss Lily, was that nickname a bit too intimate?
However, before she could ponder the implications of the old man's words,
she heard him panting heavily with excitement, “Miss Lily, you're back, then is your mother back too? How has your mother been these years, is she doing well?”
“My mother…”
Before she could finish, the old man sighed again.
“Ah, so many years have passed. Other than David occasionally coming to visit, I haven't even seen Sylvia's face. A few years ago, I heard that Sylvia and Ken adopted a girl named Lily Redington. That child, it's you, right? Good, good, it's all the same that you could come back.”
“I…”
Adopted?
Lily listened with a look of bewilderment.
She was surprised that the old man knew her name and even more astonished at his explanation of her identity.
She was adopted, but how come she didn't know?
Actually, it wasn't the old man's fault for the misunderstanding.
Lily had left the Lucas family originally because Larry Scott was obsessed with 'revenge.'
Because of this, after she recognized her parents, she grew to hate the word 'revenge.'
Add to that, Oliver Ford was indeed very good to her–after all, owing a favor to the Ford family, Lily at that time did not permit Duke Redington to settle accounts with the Ford family.
As a result, aside from Larry Scott, nobody on the Scott family's side knew that Lily was the child who had been switched by Noah Ford.
Mr. Scott, far away in Eastonia, had always followed his granddaughter's news closely.
Unfortunately, aside from Larry, Sylvia did not wish to communicate with any relatives from Eastonia.
She did not even contact Mr. Scott.
Due to Duke Redington's protection of Lily, it was also challenging for Mr. Scott's people stationed in Europe to get close for a while.
This led to the subordinate, who was responsible for gathering news of the granddaughter for Mr. Scott, to get the message wrong.
By the time the news got back, Lily, who was adored by thousands, had become a child adopted by the Scott couple in Mr. Scott's view.
But even if she was an adopted child, Mr. Scott liked her just the same.
He cheerfully said, “Good child, it's great that you've come back. Your great-grandfather is now on a private jet rushing back to B City. Just wait, when Great-grandpa gets back, we'll have a proper meeting.”
At this moment, the old man was so delighted he was practically unrecognizable.
He completely disregarded what Lily had said earlier about the two children being kidnapped, taking it seriously.
He thought it was all a lie concocted by Lily and Larry Scott to hide their identities.
Hmph, that rascal Larry, he must be trying to meet Sylvia secretly, so he deliberately kept it from me.
Mr. Scott's thought process was something Lily could never guess.
If she could have guessed, she would have told him, Mr. Scott, your imagination is running wild; things are not at all as you think.
However, Mr. Scott was speaking so quickly and saying so much.
Lily tried to interject several times but just couldn't get a word in.
Little did she know,
Back in the military, Mr. Scott was famously quick-tongued and talkative.
At every military meeting, as soon as it was his turn to speak, no one else could get a word in.
So eventually, the military generals developed a tacit agreement,
To always schedule Mr. Scott's comments last at any meeting.
Moreover, since Lily was the younger generation, even though she was anxious inside, she couldn't just interrupt Mr. Scott.
She could only listen to the robust and relentless voice of Mr. Scott coming from the other end of the phone.
Until half an hour later.
