Chapter 1074: Chapter 1077: Sensible Little Ben Chapter 1074: Chapter 1077: Sensible Little Ben “Olivia Redington, come here,”
Abbie whispered in a low voice, then commanded again.
Although she was talking to the little baby, her cold blue eyes were defensively fixed on Ben Lucas's face.
This little boy had a face strikingly similar to her own.
Others might not guess the truth behind it.
But the precocious child Abraham Redington instantly felt alarm bells ringing upon seeing Ben Lucas.
His intuition told him that this child was definitely the 'Ben Lucas' his uncle had mentioned.
One Lulu was annoying enough.
He would not allow another person to compete with him for Mommy's affection.
“Abbie…”
Lulu didn't understand why Abbie suddenly put on a grim face.
She felt a little scared.
Confusedly looking at Abbie, and then back to the handsome big brother, she saw that his gorgeous, black-gem-like eyes were also fixed on Abbie, with a slight annoyance.
Lulu tilted her head, contemplating, and came to a conclusion.
It seemed Abbie was getting jealous.
Although he normally found her annoying, he seemed unhappy to see her getting along with another big brother.
Yeah, that must be it!
“Abbie, don't be mad… I'm coming right now,” the little baby didn't want to provoke a fight between the two brothers, so she obediently began to climb the stairs towards Abbie.
“Don't come.” However, a hand reached out from behind her and firmly grasped her tender hand.
“Huh?” Abbie was stunned.
The big brother had actually taken the initiative to hold her hand.
Ben Lucas softened his demeanor slightly compared to before, “Aren't you cold? I'll take you to get some clothes.”
Having said that, he not only held Lulu's hand but also pulled her back toward him.
Allowing her short, plump little figure to lean against his arm.
Now, everyone present, aside from the child Abraham Redington, was completely baffled with question-mark expressions ???
Lulu was just as puzzled and couldn't grasp why the big brother had suddenly changed his attitude.
But the embrace of the big brother felt so comforting.
What she had just said to Abbie was quickly forgotten.
Presumptuously, she hugged the big brother tighter and rubbed her little face against him, “Lulu isn't cold anymore when hugging you, thank you, big brother, you're so nice.”
Indeed! A big brother like him felt just like a real brother.
Much warmer than Abbie, who only knew how to bully her.
“You silly Lulu, you…” Abbie was hopping mad at this scene.
All pretense of composure and coolness dropped in that moment.
Instead of glancing at him, Ben Lucas just gently patted Lulu's back, cooing, “Are you hungry, Lulu? Want something to eat?”
Ben quickly assumed the role of an older brother.
Of course, he hadn't forgotten his purpose for coming was to 'compete for favor.'
To vie for their mother's love.
He didn't want to keep calling Mommy 'Aunt Lily'; he too wanted to be able to call her mother loudly and proudly, just like the others.
But Ben was rational.
Too rational.
After a moment of initial dismay and losing control, he quickly regained mastery over his emotions.
He wouldn't make mother uncomfortable.
He wouldn't make mother sad.
If Mommy couldn't acknowledge him, there must be her difficulties.
Ben Lucas, being so intelligent and wise, could certainly feel the love mother had for him in their interactions.
Mommy hadn't abandoned him.
She had always loved him.
This belief allowed Ben's heart, riddled with a thousand wounds, to be gently nourished and soothed.
He escorted Lulu to the sofa in the Main Hall.
Walking along, he reassured himself.
One day, mother would reveal the truth to him.
All he had to do was to be ready at all times, waiting for her to come back.
And now, he could start preparing by learning how to be a good brother.
With this thought, Ben suddenly stopped.
He turned back and said to Abbie, “Kid, you come here too.”
