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
Chapter 1214Luke’s gaze passed through the door and fell on Eileen.Eileen couldn't help tensing up when she noticed someone staring at her.She only felt nervous and was not used to it when she was in the same room with him.At this moment, the doorbell rang.Eileen got up with the foam of washing powder in her hands.However, Luke had already walked over.The door opened, and there was Dan Miller, Luke’s assistant, standing outside, carrying documents and Luke's clothes.Dan said, “Mr. Bennington, there is a banquet at eight o’clock in the evening.”“OK.” Luke signed his name on the document.“Who would you like to invite as your companion?"When Dan asked this question, Eileen walked into the living room, so she clearly heard it.She felt a prick in her heart and walked towards the bedroom.She understood that the woman who could stand beside and accompany him would never be her!He had no such thoughts, nor did she.She had been humiliated the day before.Luke’s pen paused slightl
Chapter 1215At six o'clock in the evening, Dan drove to pick them up for the banquet.Luke and Eileen sat in the back seat silently.After a while, the car stopped in front of a brand store.The sales assistant welcomed them warmly.However, when she saw Eileen's legs, she was a little surprised and her mouth opened slightly.Eileen always had keen senses.She stopped in embarrassment.When Luke noticed it, he turned back and said coldly, "Follow me."Coming back to her senses, the sales assistant bent down to apologize to them.Then she took out all the latest clothes in the store and recommended them to Eileen.Luke felt she was noisy and signaled her to stop. He chose a long tender yellow dress and threw it directly to Eileen.After taking a glance at the dress in front of her, Eileen stood still.Luke crossed his arms impatiently, "Do you want me to help you change your clothes?"She didn't say anything but took the dress and walked into the fitting room.After a wh
Chapter 1216No one can understand this suffering when everyone was the audience, and you were the clown.It was like stripping yourself naked and exposing yourself in front of everyone, which hurt like hell.Eileen did not know how she made it to her seat. She looked pale.Luke frowned and fetched a glass of warm water and put it in front of her.Since Luke wasn't happy, he put the glass so hard and it gave a loud sound. And all those gazes around made him feel even worse.Eileen picked up the glass without saying a word.She had reminded Luke that if he brought her here, she would become a joke at the party.It was a business party, so all attendees were businessmen and their companions.Some people were greeting Luke. So, he just left Eileen alone in the corner and went to them. He was like a star, and many people gathered around him. They were chatting with a glass of wine in their hands.At this time, a woman wearing a blue dress came down.And she also wore blue earr
Chapter 1217Eileen's dress and face were covered with wine. Some wine glasses fell on her dress and the wine flowed downward.At this moment, she looked like a wretched clown."Oh, my god!" The woman covered her mouth and deliberately exclaimed, "How can you be so careless?"The eyes of the people around were full of disgust.No one helped her. They deliberately watched her make a fool of herself.Eileen didn't expect anyone to help her.Her face was pale. She shook off all the wine glasses on her dress.The floor was too smooth, where there was wine. So it was difficult for her to stand up.She bit her lips and stood up slowly on her knees with both hands on the ground in front of those people.Finally, someone went over to help her.Eileen refused him. Even though she was embarrassed, she felt that she could stand up. She was in pain as if a knife had stabbed her heart.Finally, she stood up.The woman said hypocritically, "Sorry, I didn't do it on purpose. But you'd be
