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
Chapter 1227Luke asked a staff worker to give him a fishing rod and sat down by the lake.His hobby was also fishing, the same as Kingsley’s. But he hadn't fished for more than a year.Nina also asked for a fishing rod.They two sat side by side.Eileen and Brad sat behind them.Patience and quietness were important in fishing. No one spoke, and it was so quiet.Although Brad was a child, he was very patient.He lay on Eileen's lap and gazed at the lake.With a cold wind, he was sneezing and rubbing his nose with his little hand.Suddenly, Luke took off his suit jacket and handed it to Eileen.Then he turned around again blankly.When feeling the hot temperature of the jacket, Eileen felt so warm. ‘It turns out that Luke can also be a good father.’‘As long as he wants, he can be a father as good as Kingsley.’Lying on her lap, Brad said in a low voice, "Mom, it's Dad's jacket!"Eileen nodded.She opened the jacket and wrapped Brad's small body inside.He was too sm
Chapter 1228Eileen lurched to her feet and fell to the ground.Luke kept walking toward the lake. When he stepped into the lake, the feeling of coldness and nausea immediately surrounded him.Luke suddenly felt as if he was being strangled and unable to breathe.But Luke did not stop and continued to walk towards the depths of the lake.His body was already shaking.As long as Luke decided to do something, he would definitely insist on doing it.After taking a deep breath, Eileen walked over quickly and pushed Luke away with force. Then Eileen jumped into the lake.Nina was shocked.Luke was stunned for a moment after he had steadied himself.Eileen looked at him from the lake and asked, "What fell into the lake?"Luke came to his senses and shouted angrily at her, "Eileen, what the hell are you doing?""What is it? The water is too cold. I can't hold on for long. All you can do now is save my time!"Eileen made up her mind to help Luke.They stared at each other across
