Chapter 1079: Chapter 1082: Is Their Dad an 'Old Man'? (Extra 4) Chapter 1079: Chapter 1082: Is Their Dad an 'Old Man'? (Extra 4) Abbie revealed everything she knew to Ben.
She originally thought that after hearing everything, Ben would happily go look for his mother.
Who would have known, this big brother with a cool demeanor just sat in place, motionless, after listening.
“Hey, what's wrong?” Abbie called out to him.
Ben didn't speak, only hanging his head low, his expression unreadable.
“You're not harboring resentment towards mother, are you?” Abbie dropped his playful demeanor and became serious.
“I told you clearly, when mother first arrived in Europe, she had a tough time. Alone, pregnant with me and Lulu, she struggled so much. Uncle told me that mother had no choice but to leave Eastonia, if you still blame her for leaving you behind, then I don't acknowledge you as my big brother anymore.”
“That's not it.” Ben's cold voice sounded softly.
“I don't blame her… it's just…”
Jordan Lancaster, a child who had always been extremely strong, simply couldn't bring himself to show vulnerability in front of Abbie.
How could he possibly blame his mother?
It was because Abbie's words finally revealed to him the true reason his mother was unwilling to recognize him.
She really had been wronged.
His mother really had her difficulties.
Ben felt a sharp pain in his chest, a heavy feeling, as if something were blocking it.
He didn't feel pitiful at all.
He even felt fortunate.
This truth was better than anything he had imagined.
His mother hadn't abandoned him after all.
After she left, she didn't enjoy a life of luxury, nor was her departure a well-planned arrangement.
She wasn't a woman who abandoned her husband and child out of vanity.
Although Abbie also didn't know why their mother had to leave Eastonia back then.
But the mere fact that after she left, she arrived in Europe alone, carrying two children and leading a life of solitude and helplessness.
That alone was enough to suggest that her departure was out of necessity and with difficulties.
Thinking of this, Ben felt his chest filled with a profound sense of heartache.
He took a deep breath to steady his emotions.
“Don't worry, I already know about it. I don't hold any grudge against mother, I just feel heartache for her… However, let's just keep this between the two of us for now.”
His implication being that they should not clarify it yet nor tell their parents and Lulu.
“Why?” Abbie didn't understand, now that things had come to this, there was nothing left to hide.
“I don't know either.”
Ben confessed frankly, “But intuition tells me that since mother chose to keep it a secret, she must have her reasons. Although I don't know the real cause, I think it might have something to do with the old man in my family.”
The message from Benjamin Lucas IX confirmed that both Aidan Lucas and he considered these two children as Richard Coldwell's.
If mother wanted to explain, she would have done so long ago.
She remained silent.
Ben felt that there must be a purpose behind it.
“Your… your family's old man?”
Abbie suddenly had an ominous premonition.
The 'old man' Ben mentioned, couldn't it be his own father?
Cough, was the biological father of him and Lulu very old?
It was at this moment that a voice suddenly came from outside the door.
The voice was urgent, “Young master, there's trouble. Mr. Coldwell and Commander Scott have shown up at the same time, our people are holding them off, and Sebastian Lucas VII has already gone to inform Mr. Lucas. What do you suggest we do?”
Mr. Coldwell, Commander Scott…
Ben and Abbie exchanged glances.
In their extremely similar yet differently colored irises, a spark flashed at the same time.
If Richard Coldwell visited and the 'old man' with a mistaken identity came, could something shocking occur?
