Chapter 1257The Bennington family's villa.Brandy asked the maid to cook some noodles and send them to the room upstairs.Half an hour later, the maid came down with the bowl.Brandy asked, "Has he eaten?"The maid shook her head. "No. You'd better go and have a look. He hasn't eaten anything for two days. He'll get ill if he continues like this."Brandy went upstairs to Brad's room.The little boy was sitting on the balcony, crying.He had never been separated from his mother before.Seeing his pitiful look, Brandy felt sad."Brad, we've cooked noodles for you. Would you like to eat some?"Brad shook his head. "No. I want Mom. I want to go home.""Alas..." Brandy let out a long sigh. "This is your home. Don't mention your mom anymore."Brad didn't say anything, turning around.He was very stubborn. No matter what Brandy said, he refused to eat.Brandy coaxed him for quite a while, his throat was dry but it was useless.He had no choice but to leave.Luke went to the
Chapter 1258"Brad, tell your dad what you want. It's useless to cry. It won't solve the problem. Be good," Brandy coaxed.This father and son had never lived together before.Doting parents treasured their kids. Yet Luke's parents had never doted on him. Luke's grandfather had been strict with him and cold to him since he was born.As a result, he educated Brad in the same way.There was no warmth in such a powerful and wealthy family. They were cold-hearted.Brad wiped his tears. "I want my mom. I want to eat porridge made by Mom. I want to go to my mom. I don't want to be here."As he saw the child begging pitifully, Brandy's heart ached.He pleaded with Luke, "Mr. Bennington, Brad is too young. What about sending him to Ms. Barton's place tonight? I can take him back tomorrow so that he has time to get used to the new home.""Why bother? Whether today or tomorrow, sooner or later, he has to adapt. Don't take him anywhere. Now, take him upstairs to bed."Luke said stonil
Chapter 1259As a leader, he tamed others and did not allow them to rebel.Then he left again.When Brandy came over, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.After entering the villa, he went straight to Brad's room.When he saw Brad's pale face and dried mouth, he was slightly taken aback and asked the servant. "Does little Bennington still not eat anything?"The servant nodded."What did Mr. Bennington say?"The servant answered truthfully. "Mr. Bennington doesn’t allow us to take care of little Bennington. He said that if little Bennington fainted, take him to the hospital."Brandy became speechless.This was what Mr. Bennington would do.Mr. Bennington was cruel and cold.He didn't care about Brad's threat at all. He just thought that if Brad refused to eat, he didn't feel hungry and if he refused to sleep, he didn't want to sleep.It could be said that Luke wanted to completely get rid of Brad's desire to see his mom.But Luke’s behavior was too cruel for Brad.
Chapter 1260Eileen suppressed her emotions. "I hear Brandy say that you refuse to eat anything."Brad said nothing."Brad, you promised me that you would be obedient."Brad spoke, "Mom, I miss you."Hearing this, Eileen almost cried. "Does this have anything to do with eating?""Dad doesn't like me and I don't like him either. I'm not used to living here." Brad's voice was particularly low."Brad, this is just the beginning. You have to get used to it slowly."Brad asked, "Mom, why don't you want me?"With a sharp pain in her heart, she slowly explained, "It's not that I don't want you, but that I can't afford to bring you up. Besides, you will have a better life with your dad. Brad, boys should learn to be strong and independent.""I don't need to have a better life, as long as I am with you. No matter how hard it is, I want to be with you." Brad's voice was firm.Eileen smiled, feeling sweet.Brad was the only sweetness she could feel in her painful life."Mom, you take
Chapter 1261Brandy panicked.‘How could Mr. Bennington come back at this time?’Brandy and Eileen were caught by Luke.Noting Brandy’s expression, Eileen stepped away and hid behind the flowers and plants nearby.It was kind of Brandy to allow her to come here so she couldn't cause trouble for Brandy.Soon, the car stopped.Luke got out of the car. He was wearing a suit, with a cold expression on his handsome face."Who was the woman next to you just now?"He asked directly.Brandy forced himself to calm down. "A servant.""Huh..." Luke sneered and he turned around. "Come out!"Nothing happened.Immediately, he snapped impatiently, "Come out by yourself. Don't let me take you out!"Slowly, Eileen walked out from behind the tree.Luke's sight fell on Brandy. "Did you let her in?"Brandy moved his lips slightly. Before he could speak, Eileen had already answered, "I came in by myself.""Are you allowed to come here?"She sneered and turned around to leave, ignoring him
Chapter 1262Luke recovered to his usual indifference and withdrew his hand."Since you’re awake, go to eat something. Threats are of no use to me." He said coldly, "No one can beat me by threatening me."Brad gritted his teeth with anger. "I hate you!"Luke raised his brows lightly. "I don't seem to want you to like me. For me, being liked is a very annoying thing."Brad's face flushed with anger.Luke continued, "Go to the dining room.""No!"Brad was very determined. "I would rather starve to death than eat something.""It seems that you have been more determined since you came here." Luke said lightly.Luke was very satisfied with such a change.Looking at the infusion bottle, he continued to speak. "Now, you have two choices. First, go to eat. Second, continue on hunger strike and then you will be sent to Athana by me.”In an instant, Brad became emotional. "I won't go to Athana!"Luke snorted coldly. "Do you think you have another choice? Tell me your answer."Brad
Chapter 1263As usual, the maid served the black coffee and the newspaper. Brandy came in and bumped into the scene. He was relieved.Brad suddenly broke the silence. "I want to go to school."Luke raised his head. "Sure. Brandy will ride you there after breakfast."Brad lowered his head and continued to have his meal without saying another word. Brandy thought to himself.'Mr. Bennington's approach may be correct."…Meanwhile. In the hospital. Kirsten went into the ward and stiffened at the sight of Eileen's face. "You didn't sleep well last night? Your face is swollen."Instead of answering the question, Eileen announced with a smile, "I'm going to divorce Luke.""For real?" Kirsten exclaimed."Yeah."Eileen nodded, saying, "I planned to drag it out, but it was pointless."She no longer clung to any hope. It was pointless to get entangled with him any longer. "I totally agree with you!" Kirsten was overjoyed, "You should have divorced that jerk a long time
Chapter 1264Two days passed quickly. Early in the morning, Eileen washed up and went to the Civil Registry Office.She deliberately started late. Luke was not a punctual person after all.To be more precise, he was punctual to anyone but her. When she arrived at the Civil Registry Office, however, that familiar black car was seen parked by the road. Eileen was stunned.It turned out that he could be punctual.She had an inexplicable feeling. It was not pain. She just felt cold and numb. Perhaps her heart had already been numb.Still, she felt bitter inside. Luke saw her and taunted, "Didn't you want to divorce me? You're late. Are you still playing games with me?"A sneer tugged at Eileen's lips. "11 a.m. is the appointed time. Now it's ten to 11. I'm not late. You came early."She was not late. Eager he was, he had come early.Were their eight years of marriage so stifling?Luke's narrowed eyes glanced coldly at her. Then he strode forward alone. Eileen fo
