Chapter 1096: Chapter 1099: I Will Only Accept Her Personal Explanation Chapter 1096: Chapter 1099: I Will Only Accept Her Personal Explanation “You don't need to explain, I promised Lily, I would trust her,” Aidan Lucas responded in a somber tone to Richard Coldwell.
If it weren't for fear of hurting Lily, making her think he didn't love her, he truly wanted to smash Richard Coldwell's annoyingly handsome face into a pulp.
“Regarding our issues, I will listen to her tell it herself. Your explanations aren't needed.”
Whether the woman was telling the truth or lies, even if they were lies, Aidan Lucas didn't want to hear them from Richard Coldwell.
Even if there was to be deception, he hoped it would be Lily who lied to him directly.
Richard Coldwell's eyes hesitated for a moment.
In a low voice he said, “You're right. It's better for Miss Redington to explain things between you personally.”
Richard Coldwell couldn't help but think of himself.
No matter what misunderstanding had occurred between Aidan Lucas and Lily Redington, at least they could sit down and talk face to face.
As for him and that woman.
At the thought, the man's deep blue irises turned cold and dim.
Though he didn't want to admit it, clearly, he was somewhat envious and jealous of Aidan Lucas and Lily Redington.
“Now that the misunderstanding is cleared, I'll be going,” he said.
Unable to stay any longer, if he did, Richard Coldwell might be tortured to death by the affection between these two.
He gave Aidan Lucas a slight nod and then strode away.
On the other hand, Lily was still on the phone with Larry Scott.
“Commander Scott, how could you come without any reason?” Lily's voice was a bit cold.
It was understandable for Richard Coldwell to come as he had been entrusted by her.
But not Larry Scott.
When Lily left the Scott family, she had told him that it would suffice to find Abbie and Lulu's whereabouts. She could handle Aidan Lucas and didn't need his help for the time being.
“Lily, your uncle is concerned about you. You haven't called to check in, and I was afraid something had happened to you,” he said.
Lily was silent for a moment, then spoke coolly, “Don't worry, I'm fine.”
“That's good to hear. Also, Ben was supposed to be at the Royal Academy's summer camp, and I approved his leave. I thought, now that the child is back, and Abbie and Lulu happen to be here too, it would be a good opportunity for your family to meet. Lily… There are things your uncle realizes he has no right to say. But, all in all, it's better for a family to be reunited. If there's a chance, you and Ben should recognize each other as soon as possible.”
Over the years, Larry Scott, unable to obtain Lily's forgiveness, had been treating the Lucas family well in his own country, compensating Ben.
Especially after Ben entered the Royal Military Academy, Larry Scott repeatedly used his position to get close to Ben.
He understood all too well the child's cold nature and reluctance to interact with others.
“Ben's character is too aloof, he's still a child and should have the innocence and playfulness of one. Ultimately, it was your uncle's great mistake back then. Over the years, your uncle has been trying to make amends. If possible, Lily, your uncle hopes you would recognize Ben as soon as you can. The child really hasn't had it easy.”
Although Lily still had a barrier against Larry Scott and couldn't fully accept him,
she knew he was right.
Even though little Ben was not aloof at all when with her, just as cute and lively as any other child,
she remembered the phone call she received from Ben when she first returned to the country.
On the phone, Ben was mature, cool, and distant.
She still remembered the words he used to introduce himself at the time.
“Jordan Lancaster, cold and stern, that's Jordan Lancaster.”
Cold and stern.
Her Ben once was so lonely, so sad, all by himself.
