Chapter 1097: Chapter 1100: Visit the Scott Family Chapter 1097: Chapter 1100: Visit the Scott Family “`
As she thought of this, Lily softened her voice.
When she wasn't there, Larry Scott had still shown Ben Lucas care and had looked after the child for her.
“I know, we've talked it through. Ben Lucas, Abbie, Lulu, and I, our family has recognized each other. From now on, Ben Lucas will have a mother's love. I won't let Ben Lucas be alone again…”
“Really? That's wonderful.”
Larry's face showed joy, and he couldn't help but say, “Lily, Ben Lucas has not only a mother's love, but also other love. His grandparents, his uncle, even his great-uncle, they all will love him. Right, and his great-grandfather too.”
Larry finally got to the point.
“Lily, you took your great-grandfather's call, and the old man rushed back excitedly, but you left. The old man doesn't know how disappointed he was, and he kept telling me to bring you back to see him. When he heard you already had a child, the old man was even more overjoyed. This is a joyous occasion with five generations under one roof, Lily, if you have time, go see him.”
The affairs of the Scott family back then were complicated, and Lily didn't fully understand the specific circumstances.
But there were two things she did know.
Her mother, Sylvia Scott, was estranged from the Scott family.
After marrying into the Redington family, she only kept in touch with Larry and Bella Scott, and was not close to the other Scott family members.
Later, aside from the 'early death of her daughter,' Sylvia had virtually cut off contact even with Bella.
As for Mr. Scott, what entangled conflicts existed between him and Sylvia was something Lily didn't understand.
But over the years, Sylvia seemed to still hold a grudge against the Scott family members, apart from Larry.
And the second point was in considerable contradiction to the first.
Lily had discovered from what David Redington and Sylvia said on ordinary days.
The original parentlessness of the siblings Larry and Sylvia Scott after their mother's early death and their father's remarriage.
It seemed that when they were young, they received a considerable amount of care from Mr. Scott.
If it wasn't for Mr. Scott, the two siblings might not have been able to grow up safely at all.
Because of this, Larry held a lot of respect for Mr. Scott.
Even Sylvia, who has been reluctant to return to the country and contact Scott family members for years, still sent generous gifts through Larry every year for Mr. Scott's birthday celebration.
At this thought, Lily finally relented, “Alright, once I've sorted things out here over the next few days, I'll find time to visit him.”
“Great, I'm glad you agreed. When you're ready, give me a call in advance, Ben Lucas has my private number.”
Relieved to have one less worry, Larry breathed easier.
“Hmm,” Lily acknowledged.
Suddenly, she remembered that the old man seemed to still mistakenly believe she was his adoptive daughter.
That was perfect, she could clear up the misunderstanding when she went to visit him.
After Lily ended the call with Larry, he took his leave.
The man held his cell phone, and a faint light flickered in his dark eyes.
Great-grandfather?
Great-great-grandfather…?
Larry hadn't purposely lowered his voice when he talked to Lily.
Whether intentional or not, he left these questions for Aidan Lucas.
There was an old grudge between Larry and the woman.
Even if Madam Lucas's death wasn't caused by Larry, he was ultimately the one who drove the woman away.
Yet, upon seeing Larry today, Aidan Lucas didn't see any dislike for Lily on Larry's face.
On the contrary, he seemed even more anxious and protective than Richard Coldwell.
Thinking of this, the man slightly furrowed his brow and looked up the stairs.
He knew the answer might lie entirely with his Lily.
