Chapter 1206She was seriously lame, so she walked very asymmetrically. Her shoulder also tilted. This was the eternal pain in her heart.She could not wear beautiful high heels like ordinary women. They looked beautiful, wearing high heels while she looked funny and ridiculous.In fact, it didn't matter whether she wore high heels or not, as she didn't like wearing them.She just didn't want others to look at her strangely while walking down the street and holding her son’s hand.After taking a shower, Luke stepped into the living room.Finding that Eileen was not in the living room, he unfolded his knitted brows, and his eyes fell on his son."What program do you watch?""Dad." Brad raised his head and said, "A reality show."Luke smiled. "Fine."Suddenly, there was a gurgling sound in his stomach.After coming out of prison, he didn't stay in Santabaca anymore. He immediately hurried back to Lanechett by plane and then went home. He didn't even drink any water.Brad as
Chapter 1207With bright eyes, he asked cautiously, "Dad, you will take Mom with you, won't you?""It depends on the situation." Luke's voice was low, and he did not answer directly. But Brad did not give up. "You have promised Uncle Kingsley that you will bring me and Mom. An adult should be a man of his word."Luke became silent.After a moment, he nodded lightly. "Okay."As soon as he heard this, Brad's eyes became even brighter, as he was overflowing with excitement and joy.Forty minutes later.Eileen walked into the living room in her pajamas.Brad had turned off the TV, but Luke was not in the living room.She laughed at herself.‘As expected, he left.’Though she knew that he would leave, she still expected him to stay. She really deserved to feel sad.Brad said softly, "Mom, Dad doesn't leave. He went to buy cigarettes."Eileen was taken aback. "Really?""Yeah."Eileen smiled. "It's time for sleep. I’ll take you back to your room to sleep."She carried him in
Chapter 1208She moved her lips and wanted to ask him if he would bring her to the Wright family villa tomorrow.But looking at his indifferent expression, she finally chose to be silent.Turning around, she went to the room.After a while, Luke also followed in and went directly to bed.Eileen stood in place, feeling a little unbelievable and nervous. "Don’t you leave?""This apartment is the property under my name. I live in my own home. Is there any problem?""No…"She shook her head. "You go to sleep. I'll go to the living room."Luke stared at her and sneered. "Tempt me? Don’t you know what kind of person you are?"Eileen stood, unmoved. She felt that her heart was being pierced by knives."Come here!""I'm afraid you are not used to sleeping with me on the same bed. Tomorrow you need—"Before she finished speaking, she had been thrown onto the bed by Luke.Eileen curled up, as she was brimming with fear and wanted to refuse him.He had sex with her frequently.But
Chapter 1209She used to think that even if a man loved a woman deeply, his love wouldn’t last long.Since Zora was dead, Luke’s memories of her would gradually fade away.As time went by, he would completely forget Zora one day.Even if he had no affection towards her, he might take a fancy to other women.Eileen even imagined that maybe one day, Luke would show up with a more beautiful woman than Zora and divorce her.However, she didn’t expect that he hadn’t forgotten Zora for so many years.Instead of being a cold-hearted man in love, he was quite spoony.Eileen had thought she wouldn’t feel anything after hearing Zora’s name again.But it turned out to be self-deception.The living could never compare with the dead.Her sleepiness dissipated, and sadness rose in her like a tide. Lying on her side, she looked out the window.In the cool of the evening, the sky was filled with faint moonlight.Maybe in the dead of night, it was easier for people to have an emotional breakdown.Feel
Chapter 1210Eileen gently stroked his little head.Brad blinked slightly. “Mom, you wear makeup today. You look so beautiful!”Eileen asked in a teasing tone, “Do I look ugly without makeup?”“Of course not. In my opinion, you are the most beautiful woman in the world!”Eileen smiled.Right at this moment, Luke walked out of the room.He had washed his face and shaved. Except for the red and swollen marks left at the corners of his lips, he looked totally different from yesterday.There had never been his clothes in this house, so he only wore a bathrobe.Brad was well-behaved. He put down the bowl and shouted, “Dad, good morning.”“Well, let’s eat breakfast now.”Luke also sat down at the table.Seeing this, Eileen filled a bowl of soup for him and handed it over.But Luke didn’t even take a look at it. He just started to drink his coffee.Sadness immediately welled up in Eileen’s heart.The atmosphere was rather subdued in the dining room. Compared with the cheerful atmosphere just
Chapter 1211Brad didn't say anything. He looked a little unhappy.His eyes were dim. He lowered his head and drooped his shoulders.Eileen squatted down on the ground and stroked Brad's head. She said sorry again and again to him in a low voice.After a long time, Brad finally looked up and said, "Mom, even though I'm unhappy about your no-show, I've decided to forgive you."Eileen said with a smile, "Thank you. It won't happen again."Luke and Brad left and she was left alone.Eileen looked at herself in the mirror.She wore light makeup and a long dress.But she felt herself very funny, like a mawkish buffoon.She stopped thinking, adjusted her mood and then decided to go to the hospital to get the medical examination report.She had been suffering from flatulence and some indigestion, and she was losing weight.So she went to the hospital for a medical examination two days ago.The result of her medical examination may come out today.Half an hour later, Eileen got ou
Chapter 1212Luke looked down at Brad’s eyes, which were quite similar to his own.Brad’s wet eyes looked pitiful, which were like that of a wounded deer.This pulled at Luke’s heartstrings, but he still answered in a cold voice, “No.”“Really?”“Well, stop thinking about it and go to bed now.”Brad grabbed his sleeves and asked, “Dad, will you leave?”“No.”Hearing this, Eileen rest reassured.Although Luke hated her, as long as he promised Brad, he would never go back on his word.Later, she wheeled Brad back to his room and helped him lie on the bed.“Mom, I saw Julie today. She is so beautiful with fair and soft skin.” Brad was still in high spiritsEileen forced a smile. “Really?”“Yes. Mom, when can I have a younger sister?”There was a look of expectation on his face. Hearing this, Eileen froze for a moment.“When there is an opportunity, Dad and I will try,” she finally said.“Alright.”Although Brad was a little disappointed, he was very happy to think of her father and moth
Chapter 1213Eileen shook her head. “I didn’t prepare lunch for you today.”“Mom, did you get up late today?”“No. From today on, I won’t help you prepare lunch boxes. You have to eat with your classmates at school,” Eileen said.Brad was rather picky about food. As long as there was something he didn’t like in school lunch, he wouldn’t eat well. However, she was now in terminal cancer.If she died one day, no one would spoil Brad as she did.“Why?”“There is no specific reason. I am just so busy that I have no time to prepare any food for you.” Brad felt aggrieved. Pouting his lips, he was overwhelmed with disappointment and sadness.It seemed that his mother didn’t love him anymore.Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came.They all turned back.It was Luke who walked out of the bedroom.Brandy quickly greeted him, “Mr. Bennington, good morning”“Good morning,” Luke answered in a cold voice.Eileen saw his eyes sweeping from Brad behind Brandy to the wheelchair, and then he frowned de
