"Eccentric and aloof... Ben? No, that can't be..." Lily, whose mind had already drifted away, found her thoughts returning upon hearing the name 'Ben'.
She looked towards Emily Taylor, her eyes revealing a disbelief she dare not acknowledge.
Her Ben, the child who used to smile so adorably as a little boy.
Even if his personality had changed as he grew up, he shouldn't have become an eccentric and aloof person.
Lily still remembered the last time he called her.
He was polite and composed on the phone, nothing like an eccentric and aloof child.
"How could it not be? What's so strange about a child becoming increasingly eccentric and aloof after growing up without a mother's love?"
Moreover, his father was such a quirky, ruthless, and vicious man.
"Mom... no, Mrs. Lucas..."
Lily suddenly came to a realization, rushing forward and embracing Emily Taylor.
