Chapter 724: Chapter 727: My son, Ben Lucas, has maxed out his flirting skills.
Upon hearing this news, Lily Gray’s tightly strung nerves finally relaxed.
What a relief.
Ever since that day Larry Scott made his fierce threat, she had been constantly worried, fearing that Larry might resort to some low-handed tactics.
Now, Larry was too preoccupied with his own problems to cause them any more trouble.
Lily Gray breathed a sigh of relief and put down her cutlery, “I’ve finished eating. Grandma, mom, I’m going to check on Ben first, and then I’ll head to the company later.”
Hearing this good news, Lily finally seemed to relax, her stiff features softening into a smile.
Madam Lucas and Emily Taylor exchanged a smile.
They had noticed long ago that Lily had been too tense recently, her usually smiling face had been devoid of laughter these days.
Seeing her let down her guard and show a relaxed expression, they both felt comforted.
“Yes, go and keep Ben company,” Emily Taylor chuckled, “You haven’t been able to spend as much time with him recently, and he’s been missing you. He’s always calling for ‘mommy,’ ‘mommy,’ which melts our hearts.”
Lily, hearing this, felt an overwhelming sense of guilt.
She had been too tense recently, wishing she could squeeze 48 hours out of a day, neglecting her son, which made her feel guilty.
“Okay, I’m going upstairs now. Grandma, mom, you guys continue eating.”
Lily Gray waved and headed upstairs.
After taking a few steps, she heard Madam Lucas’s voice behind her, “Lily, I have had a lamp lit for Ben at the Azure Dragon Temple, to ensure he has a worry-free life and a bright future. Also, I’ve chosen a proper name for Ben. I’ve given it to Master James to evaluate, and he’ll let me know tonight whether it’s suitable.”
“When I come back tonight, we’ll have a proper name for our Ben.”
Madam Lucas is a Buddhist, she insisted on consulting Master James when naming her great-grandson.
“That’s great, grandma, then we’ll take Ben to register his name tomorrow.”
Emily Taylor teased, “Mom, Ben has been waiting for you to name him for a long time. Good, our Ben will finally get his registration.”
Everyone laughed at her comment.
Looking back at the dining room, Lily saw Madam Lucas and Emily Taylor’s laughter, which brought a rare sense of relaxation from the heart.
She thought to herself, how wonderful this is.
Finally, everything was at peace.
She wore a small smile, heading upstairs and even hummed a little tune unconsciously.
Once Aidan Lucas returns, their family can finally reunite.
In the future, nothing could separate them again!

When Lily went upstairs, Ben was lying in his crib, happily gnawing on his little toes.
“Naughty Ben, stop sucking on your toes!” she walked over, prying her son’s feet apart and gently patting his tiny buttocks with mock anger.
Ben, rather than crying when ‘spanked’ by his mommy, clumsily crawled closer with an idiotic grin on his face.
‘Mommy hold me’, ‘mommy hold me’ as he uttered these fuzzy words, stretching out his small hands wanting to climb onto Lily.
“Naughty Ben, no toe-sucking. If you keep doing that, mommy will rub garlic on your feet!”
Even as she threatened, Lily couldn’t bear to make her son feel aggrieved.
When Ben needed her to hold him, she immediately picked him up from the crib and sat down in a nearby chair, holding him in her arms.
“Ben…miss…mommy…”
“Love, mommy…”
Ben’s flirting skills were off the charts.
While rolling in Lily’s arms, the sweet talk slipped out effortlessly. When he grows up, he will likely be incredibly charming to girls.
His nanny quickly joined them, “Young master loves you the most. These past few days when you came to play with him, he tells everyone that he loves mommy and misses mommy…he’s so adorable.”
Hearing this, Lily’s heart filled with sweetness.
The stress that had built up over the past few days was finally diffused with Ben’s sweet talking.
