Chapter 1111: Chapter 1114: Emily Taylor Arrives (Additional 4) Chapter 1111: Chapter 1114: Emily Taylor Arrives (Additional 4) A City to B City takes less than half a day by airplane.
According to Aidan Lucas's estimation, Emily Taylor would come by private jet.
Including the time for boarding, disembarking, and the flight, it would take just over four hours for her to definitely make it to the Manor.
However, after waiting for an entire day, there was no news.
It wasn't until dinner time that they received word.
Learning that Emily had arrived, Aidan Lucas rose, holding his woman close.
“My mother is really holding her breath here, making me see her in a new light,” he said.
Lily gave him a sidelong glance, disapproving of how he spoke about his own mother.
She took Ben's hand, “Your grandmother is here, and it's her first time meeting your brother and sister, she must be thrilled. Later, let the two little ones fuss over grandmother, and you stay with Mommy.”
Lily was worried about Ben feeling left out.
She remembered that Ben's relationship with Emily was quite ordinary.
Fearing that Emily would favor the younger ones after seeing Abbie and Lulu, Lily had taken Ben by the hand in advance.
“Mommy, don't worry, I'll take good care of my brother and sister.”
Ben held his mother's hand, his face pressed against the back of her hand, feeling none of the exclusion Lily had anticipated.
He rather hoped the two little ones would endear themselves more to their grandmother.
Firstly, it could earn more favor for Mommy.
Secondly, it would mean fewer people competing for Mommy's attention.
Ben Lucas was no ordinary child; he didn't need affection from all the adults.
In his eyes, only Mommy mattered.
Only his mother's favoritism could make him feel sad and disappointed.
Everyone else, no matter how biased, left him unfeeling.
Aidan Lucas and Lily, along with the three children, had just arrived at the Main Hall when they saw the elegantly poised Emily, beaming as she quickly approached them.
“Lily, Mom heard all about it. You and Ethan made up right? And these are my two grandsons and granddaughter, aren't they? Oh, these must be Abbie and…and…”
Emily's smile suddenly cracked.
“These…these children, they have blue eyes, they're mixed-race! Ethan, how could these children possibly be…”
“Mom, don't panic, let me explain.”
Thus, Aidan Lucas recounted Lily's journey to Europe after leaving the country.
He also disclosed Lily's true identity.
“I never imagined the Ford family was like that. I originally thought when you left Ethan, it was the Ford family taking you to M Country to enjoy wealth,” Emily said, her eyes reddening. She was a mother too, and naturally understood what it was like for a woman, pregnant with twins, to give birth abroad without any relatives around.
“Thank goodness, thankfully Lily is a blessed child. Even in Europe, she was able to meet her biological parents. Ah, let me see these children, they are really beautiful!”
Emily wiped her tears and then held Abbie and Lulu, looking at them from left to right, not wanting to let go.
Lily thought that even knowing her background, Emily might still arrange for the babies and Aidan Lucas to undergo a DNA test.
But she hadn't expected that Emily, not only didn't mention it, but also couldn't stop adoring the two children.
“Mom, don't say I didn't give you a chance. If you have any doubts, just bring them up. If you want to do DNA verification, I can satisfy that for you. But remember, this is the only time. Once it's done, you can't bring it up again,” Ethan said.
Aidan Lucas was concerned that in his absence, people might use the children's different eye colors to cause trouble.
He didn't know if the other him and Emily would believe Lily at that time.
So now, he needed to pave the way for Lily.
“Why bother with another DNA test, I'm not blind. Others may not know, but don't I understand…” Emily paused, looking at Abbie, “Look at this little nose and eyes, just like Ben's and your's when you were little.”
“Even if they are the same, they have blue eyes, aren't you afraid of people gossiping?” Aidan Lucas asked deliberately.
“What's wrong with blue eyes? Blue eyes are also a gene of the Reddington family. I'd like to see who dares to gossip; I'll be the first not to forgive her!” Emily exclaimed.
