Chapter 1219"Boys are supposed to be naughty and active." Sherman said.Eileen thought, 'But Brad is precocious. My heart aches for him.'Sherman and Eileen had a nice chat.After a while, Kingsley came back with two cakes.He handed one of them to Eileen.She hurriedly refused him.Sherman said, "Take it. No one in my family likes to eat dessert except me. One cake is enough for me, and the other one is for you."Hearing this, Eileen took the cake and said, "Thanks."Lee drove the car to Eileen's apartment. Eileen was about to get off when Sherman suddenly said, "I think Luke might need to see a psychiatrist."Eileen was confused.Sherman shook her head and didn't say anything.Eileen stood there, waved her hand, and told Lee to drive carefully.Seeing the car disappeared, she turned around and went upstairs.Sitting in the car, Sherman sighed, "Luke's wife is quite nice. She is innocent, gentle and considerate. I think Luke is so lucky.""When did you become a relati
Chapter 1220He blinked, staring at the cake with bright eyes. "Mom, did you buy a cake?"The child looked delighted. She just nodded without saying anything.Putting aside the heartache and humiliation that Luke brought her, she said, "Would you like to eat it? I'll cut it up for you.""Let's wait for daddy to come back and eat together," Brad answered, though eager to eat the cake.Hearing this, Eileen shook her head. "Just eat it yourself. He won't come over here tonight."Although Luke wasn't close to Brad, Brad always remembered him. Did children never hold grudges? Were they kinder than adults?He was playing with another woman tonight. How could he come back?Maybe he was now having sex with that woman.Eileen's heart ached as she thought of this. She was too sad to breathe."Daddy isn't coming back again?"The child's eyes dulled.He looked up at the door, his little face full of disappointment.Eileen didn't say anything to comfort him.Luke often didn't return h
Chapter 1221She didn't want to quarrel with him or mention what happened before.Even if she questioned him, he would only taunt her.He might even blame her for disgracing him and hit her. Now she was too weak to withstand it.He always hated her and didn't pity her.So why should she say that?She had learned lessons the hard way.She said evenly, "I was tired, while you and that woman were staying upstairs. I thought you might have something to do, so I left.""That's like you to do so. Tired? What have you done today?" Luke was burning with anger.Eileen closed her eyes without replying.Brad was next door. He was very sensitive and couldn't have slept.If they spoke louder, he could hear it clearly. She didn't want to quarrel."But I'm already back. What are you going to do?" she said."You've become bold and bad-tempered. Are you pushing your luck? You used to be scared of me. Why have you changed?"Luke was provoked by her attitude.Without telling him, she left
Chapter 1222Early the next morning.When Luke came out of the bedroom, Brad's little face lit up, as bright as the sunshine.The three of them were eating breakfast. Brad nervously looked at Luke and then at Eileen. "Mom, today is my birthday. Will dad go out with us?"He was still young and had never been closer to Luke. He was innately in awe of his dad."No. He has a lot of things to do. Hurry up and eat. I'll take you out later," Eileen announced without asking for Luke's opinion.He had never stayed with Brad on his birthday. When he didn't forget it, he would have the maid send over cake and gifts.She wasn't the woman he loved, and Brad wasn't the child he wanted.Therefore, even in front of him, she didn't feel she said anything wrong.Brad's bright eyes dimmed. He grunted and sipped the porridge.Luke frowned at the woman beside him, saying unhappily, "Since when can you make decisions for me? Can't you see me sitting here?""So are you going to accompany him today
Chapter 1223She had said so. If Eileen refused, it would be very embarrassing.Eileen answered, "No."Nina smiled brightly. "Thank you."As a result, the three-person trip turned into a four-person trip.Along the way, Nina and Luke walked side by side.The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. They were a joy to behold, talking and laughing.Eileen held Brad's hand, walking behind them.Many people were looking at them. Their eyes were full of admiration when falling on the woman and man walking ahead, but they gave Eileen strange looks. Brad, who was excited at first, turned downcast.Since this woman came, Dad hadn't spoken to him or Mom.Suddenly, Luke stopped, turned around, and beckoned to Brad.Brad immediately let go of Eileen's hand, running over."Do you want to ride a flying chair?" Luke asked.Brad nodded repeatedly.He then turned to look at Eileen.She waved her hand. "Just play yourselves. I can't ride it now. I'll just wait here."Luke indiffe
Chapter 1224Although people’s gaze around was embarrassing, they didn't make Eileen feel sad. But this sentence pierced her heart.In order to conceal her sadness, she lowered her head and looked at the ground. "I can't walk fast, so I can't play. I'll wait for you in the cafe.""You ask me to come to the amusement park. But now you are the one who wants to leave. You trick me on purpose, don't you?"Luke looked unhappy and his tone was icy.Eileen answered in a louder voice. "How can I play with you? I’m a cripple. You three can go to play. I’m only your burden."Luke frowned. His unhappiness dissipated a little, and he pulled her wrist and brought her forward.Eileen was taken aback.She raised her head and looked at his sturdy and broad back.Luke was pulling her to walk forward.Eileen couldn't describe her feelings. Compared to just now, she felt warmer, as the sharp pain was gradually dissipating.For a person like her, she would feel very happy when others gave her a
Chapter 1225"You’re daydreaming!""You don’t want to apologize? Call the police to take him away!"Apologize?This was the funniest word Luke had heard in the past thirty years!With his cold gaze falling on these people, he took out his phone and called the manager of the amusement park directly. "Come here as fast as you can!"The manager rushed here after answering the call.Several staff members showed solidarity. "He beat her for no reason and refused to apologize. So, the Ferris wheel can't be started."Unexpectedly, the manager didn't even look at them, but looked at Luke respectfully. "Mr. Bennington.""How dare you allow such people to work as staff members in my amusement park? They make me sick. How dare you recruit them to get salaries from me?"When Luke scolded others, he was merciless and his words were harsh. "Immediately fire them!"The manager was so frightened that he sweated all the time. He instantly paid the people and asked them to leave."It is he w
Chapter 1226The Ferris wheel rose to a very high point, at which one found everything was so small when looking down.Eileen gave a smile.Maybe it was too high, and Brad felt a little nervous.Luke's shirt was rolled up. Without a word, he put his arm around Brad’s waist.Little by little, the Ferris wheel gradually climbed upwards.Eileen turned around and looked out of the Ferris wheel.As the sun set, the afterglow fell on every corner of the city.The sunset was beautiful. Sitting on the highest point of the Ferris wheel, one could appreciate the panorama of Lanechett at dusk.Eileen was totally gripped by the view.Brad grabbed Luke's arm, with an excited expression on his face.Luke’s anger was fading away, and he drank all the mineral water.Looking at the opposite side inadvertently, he found Eileen’s expression was satisfied, happy, and peaceful. She looked serene and beautiful.He raised his lips.At this time, she looked a little pleasing to the eye, not as d
