Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 416

Old Mr. Blake chuckled, then sighed.

“Lillian... I guess our family just wasn't meant to have her.

I don't know when Noah will ever grow up. Bella has been a terrible influence on him. He didn't even stand up for his own mother this time. Lillian must be heartbroken.”

After speaking, Old Mr. Blake suddenly tossed the white game piece back into the box.

“I can't play anymore. My thoughts are all jumbled.”

Mrs. Blake also put down her piece and called a servant to put the game away.

They could finish the game another time.

Moving to the living room, the couple continued their conversation about Lillian.

“This didn't happen overnight. It will take time. We can still teach him to be better while we're around. But their mother-son relationship is so broken, I'm afraid it can't be repaired.

Even if Noah were willing, I doubt Lillian would be.

Lillian is still young. Once she gets through this illness, she's so young and beautiful, there will be no shortage of men pursuing her.

If that boy Sebastian can win her back, maybe their mother-son relationship will have a chance to heal.

If not, it will be difficult.”

Mrs. Blake saw things clearly, but she couldn't say this to Sebastian. After all, he wasn't her biological child.

Without the bond of a mother and son, there was always a barrier that prevented true heart-to-heart conversations.

Old Mr. Blake agreed. “Sebastian can't see it clearly. I've tried to teach him, but maybe... maybe those two have truly missed their chance with each other.

This time, when Lillian got into trouble, she handled it herself so easily. It's obvious she was prepared. And Sebastian was nowhere to be seen. How could he possibly win her back now?”

Maybe it's my fault too, that he's emotionally stunted. It's why he couldn't hold on to a wonderful girl like Lillian.”

The old woman suddenly lowered her head and wiped away a tear. “My son wasn't so lucky; he was taken from us so early. And Sebastian is just... well, never mind. Let's not talk about it.

As long as we're still alive, if Lillian ever needs anything from us, we'll do our best to help her.

After all, Noah is her son. Blood is thicker than water. Maybe one day Noah will inherit the Blake Group, and Lillian, for our sake and the boy's, might help out if the company ever runs into trouble. We should be content with that.”

Old Mr. Blake nodded in agreement with his wife.

Meanwhile, Sebastian felt his ears burning and scratched them. Working on the weekend was annoying enough, but his subordinates' sloppy work made him even more furious.

He called someone into his office, chewed them out, and then sent them away to get back to work.
