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
Chapter 1229He looked relieved after she found the bracelet. Eileen saw his lips curve up into a gentle smile.She felt a sharp pain in the heart as if a piece of broken glass had sliced into it. In the light, she saw the bracelet clearly. It was engraved with "from Zora to Luke". Suddenly, she understood why he was so furious as if the most important thing in his life was lost when it dropped into the lake. The indescribable bitterness and pain spread through her. She felt she helped her rival in love, though Zora was dead. She knew he couldn't swim and was afraid of water. Thus, the moment she saw him shivering and trying to get into the lake, she didn't want him to suffer and pushed him away. She jumped into the lake to find the bracelet for him, but she didn't expect it to be a gift from Zora. It was understandable that he acted like that. Except for Zora's gifts, whose gifts would he treasure as his life? It was indeed masochistic for her
Chapter 1230 Luke felt rather uncomfortable with Eileen's words.And the indescribable cold expression on her face was even more irritating to Luke.At this moment, Luke just let it go. Seeing Nina come, Luke said, "Could I borrow your jacket for a moment?"Nina knew what he was going to do and didn't want to lend it to him. Then she said, "I'm wearing a skirt inside.""Just for a moment. I won't keep it long!"Luke’s face darkened a bit, and then he added, "Just ten minutes!"Since Luke had said so, reluctant as Nina was, she took off her jacket and handed it to Luke.Luke reached out and took it, and then he handed it to Eileen, "Put it on!""I don't need it!" weak as Eileen's voice was, she sounded firm."Put it on!"Luke's tone was firmer than hers, and it sounded like he was commanding her to take the jacket.His arm was still outstretched towards her with Nina's jacket hanging from his fingertips.Staring at the ground, Eileen did not look up at him and said, "Miss
Chapter 1231Even if Luke didn't care about her, didn't he care about his son? It was so late. Wasn't he worried that Brad would catch a cold? Eileen's face darkened. She coughed a bit and took Brad's hand, walking in the opposite direction. As Brad's soles hurt, he tiptoed slowly. He turned around and looked in the direction that Luke had left. He thought, "Why could my dad not let my mom take his car?" His mother would catch a cold in her wet clothes. Seeing the child's clumsy steps, Eileen squatted down, wrapped him in the big jacket tightly, and then picked him up.Brad struggled, "Mom, I can walk on my own." "I get wet, but I still have strength. Don't touch me, or you'll get wet." Eileen said.Her clothes were extremely wet and became heavy. Her shoes were also wet. She could not walk steadily with her crippled legs.Eileen was exhausted when she walked out of the big park. She wanted to hail a taxi, but she was in such a mess that the driver would not
Chapter 1232A black luxury car was parked downstairs.Luke looked up and saw the lights on through the window.Obviously, Eileen and Brad had returned home.He took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and started smoking.Later, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground.The flame flickered in the night. He drove away without going upstairs.Eileen had a cold.Feeling dizzy, she held her forehead and sat on the sofa.Brad took a glass of warm water from the water fountain.Then he squatted by the drawer and rummaged for something.After that, he walked back to Eileen with a few cold pills in his hand and said, "Mom, take the medicine."Eileen froze, and her eyes were filled with tears.She rubbed his hair, took the medicine, and said, "Do you want to eat something?"She was unfortunate.However, Brad was really sensible and considerate. Her heart ached for him."I'm not hungry." Brad shook his head, fiddled with the sofa, and said, "Is Dad coming back tonight?""No.
Chapter 1233She didn't know whether she was in a dream.Her mind was in a fog as she saw Luke walk in.His face was still gloomy. He touched her forehead, then took out his cell phone, and made a call.She somehow felt a prick in her arm.When she looked up, she had already been put on a drip.Immediately after that, she heard Luke say in sepulchral tones, "You think you're so tough, don't you?"She tried to say something but her throat was dry. She murmured, "Water..."She vaguely heard his low oath."Why didn't you die of thirst?"Then the water slowly flowed into her mouth and instantly moistened her throat, leaving the sweetness on her tongue.She pursed her lips in satisfaction and closed her eyes.The dream was vivid, but she knew it was just a dream.She could distinguish between dreams and reality.She slept for a long time.Eileen opened her eyes.She saw Brad lying there with a worried look on his small face. Brandy brought over a bowl of porridge.Luke wasn
