Capítulo 1842: Chapter 1845: Second Personality, Already Changed
If it were Aidan Lucas in the past, he would definitely have no hesitation to drive David Redington away at this moment.
And throw all three children along with Emily Taylor back home.
But now, having accepted the memories of the first persona, his mind retains memories of Lily and the times spent with parents, brother, and children.
He knows that if he does that, Lily would definitely be unhappy when she wakes up.
Even though he really wants to have her all to himself, Aidan Lucas is no longer that cold and ruthless man.
Ever since Lily came into his life, after falling in love with her, he has learned to consider things from her perspective.
Caught in the deep abyss of Aidan Lucas’s gaze, his eyes locked onto David Redington’s equally stern face.
A moment later, he uttered a few words, “You all may go in.”
No obstruction, no conditions; he let them in so effortlessly.
Lulu dashed inside swiftly, running the quickest.
Emily, worried she would disturb Lily, hurriedly chased after her to stop.
David Redington said nothing, just nodded slightly and then followed them inside.
Only Little Abbie and Ben remained standing in place, motionless.
Although Abbie also wanted to go in to visit her mother, she could sense Ben’s depression and sadness.
Though he often sparred with Ben, deep down, he greatly admires his brother.
At such a moment, the ever-proud Abbie couldn’t find any words of comfort.
So he just silently stayed by Ben’s side.
After watching others go inside, Aidan Lucas turned around, his cold gaze falling on Ben’s slightly lowered head.
The child who had once been with him, ‘depending on each other for survival’ for over four years, seemed to have grown much taller.
The days when it was just the two of them arguing and bickering as father and son felt as if it were only yesterday.
He walked over to Ben, placing a cool palm on Ben’s small head, gently rubbing it.
“You brat… don’t be discouraged, you’re doing well.”
‘Brat’ and ‘old man’ were the nicknames they loved to use to mock each other when bantering in the past.
Ben’s lowered head sank even lower at that moment.
The pitch black eyes, originally tinged with melancholy, were instantly flooded with moisture.
“I’m… I’m sorry…” Little Ben Lucas, who always held his composure, couldn’t help but shed tears.
“I… I didn’t protect mom well, didn’t take good care of the brother and sister, I… I’m not worthy…”
“You brat, talking nonsense.” Aidan Lucas picked up Ben, who refused to raise his head.
The man patiently said to him, “I’ve told you, just focus on your studies at Royal School and don’t embarrass me. The rest can wait until you grow up… A kid this little already wants to protect others, hmm?”
Aidan Lucas playfully shook Ben’s arm, seemingly mocking and teasing him, but actually comforting him.
The father and son were just like that, neither yielding to the other, but reluctant to see the other upset.
“And you.” Aidan Lucas lowered his eyes, looking at Little Abbie who was sneakily observing him with bright blue eyes.
With just one hand, effortlessly, he picked Abbie up into his arms.
“You now know Dad’s secret, in the future you have to keep it well, or else watch out for Dad spanking your backside.”
Knowing Ben and Abbie were aware of the truth from the memory of the first persona, in truth, this made the second persona breathe a sigh of relief and feel more at ease.
The original him was just taboo, a person who should never have existed.
But now, his children, the ones he loves most, seemed to slowly accept his presence bit by bit.
“Old man, rest assured… Ben and I will keep your secret safe. But…”
Abbie, ever mischievous, proposed a condition, “Tonight we want to stay here with mom, you can’t drive us away.”
Assuming Aidan Lucas would surely refuse, yet as soon as Abbie made the request, he agreed without hesitation.
“Alright, tonight Lily is entrusted to your care.”
It was just as well, he had things to deal with.
