Chapter 1206: Chapter 1209: Mr. Lucas Returns (Extra 3) Chapter 1206: Chapter 1209: Mr. Lucas Returns (Extra 3) “Lily…” Emily Taylor wistfully watched as Lily held her grandson and granddaughter, feeling an emptiness inside.
After pacifying her son, Lily finally had time to deal with Charles Taylor's matter.
“Mom, why is he here?” She didn't even bother to ask about the quarrel between Charles, Lulu, and Abbie.
Lily had experienced how insolent Charles could be with his words. Even if it wasn't right for Abbie to start a fight, Lily had no intention of making Abbie apologize to Charles.
Since Lily didn't bring up the recent dispute, Emily naturally wouldn't mention it either.
She stuttered, “Not long after you left… Uncle Ethan came by. The child's mother and sister can't take care of him right now. Uncle Ethan, being a man, wouldn't know how to raise a child, and he didn't trust outsiders, so he just…”
The dirty deeds that Milly Gray and Simon Taylor had done, of course, were not something that should be known to a child like Charles.
So Charles still didn't know that Milly was his biological mother; he still called her 'sister' and referred to the 'deceased' Rowena Gray as 'mother'.
Lily suddenly remembered that Milly was able to secure her position because when the scandal broke, she was already two months pregnant with Simon's child.
But the day she saw Milly, with high heels, walking in such a flirtatious manner, she didn't look pregnant at all.
Could it be that the child was lost?
Forget it, she should not worry about that for now; what's important is to resolve the current matters.
Emily was her mother-in-law and was always easily swayed. After considering for a few seconds, Lily spoke up, “Mom, Ethan only has one uncle now. You… should understand.”
“I… I understand…” Emily wanted to speak on Simon's behalf, after all, he was her brother. But she knew that Lily was right.
Simon had committed such an act that not only Ethan's alter ego couldn't tolerate him, but even the main personality couldn't either.
“However, Lily, Ethan's uncle… no, my older brother. He's already gone, he had the sense to not show up here. He just left Paul behind, asking me to take care of him… his one child, you see…”
Yes, after all, one couldn't just throw out a child.
Moreover, Charles Taylor indeed was the Taylors' sole heir.
If Lily truly threw him out, Emily might not say anything now, but it might become a source of blame for Lily in the future when she recalls the event.
Lily was just about to reveal the collaboration between Theodore Lucas and Simon Taylor when a noise suddenly came from outside the door.
The servant reported, “Mr. Lucas has returned, Madam, Young Lady, should we serve the dishes now?”
Emily was already waiting for Lily to have dinner; then with Charles coming over and all the subsequent commotion, they had yet to eat without realizing how late it had become.
“Right, right, look at my memory, really getting old and useless, almost forgot about dinner.” Emily ordered the servant to go to the study room to call Young Master Charlie and to serve the dishes, and then she took Charles towards the restaurant.
“Ethan has returned, Lily, you should come over quickly too.”
Clearly, she wanted to take advantage of the confusion during dinner to get Lily to let go of Charles.
Watching Emily walk away with Charles in her arms, Lily sighed softly.
What to do?
After all, she was her mother-in-law and just a little kid who couldn't stir up trouble.
She could understand Emily, naturally protective of the Taylors' only heir, but…
Lily's eyes narrowed slightly, thinking of Theodore's and Simon's partnership. The previously dull eyes suddenly brightened.
That's it, why not use Charles to restrain Simon?!
