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
Chapter 1265The world was so big, and so was Lanechett. However, there was no place for Eileen. Nor was anyone waiting for her. She had lost her marriage, Brad, and everything. Eight years ago, she was drifting like a leaf but had got Brad by her side. Despite the hardships, she still had hope. Now, she was still that leaf in autumn about to fall. Compared to eight years ago, she was more scarred and more hopeless. She was as good as dead...She walked aimlessly in Lanechett for a long time. Not until the sun was setting that she realized the hard reality. She had no place to stay. Though hospitalized, she still needed a place of her own.First thing first, she should find an apartment and settle down. Housing prices in Lanechett were so high that she couldn't afford to rent any good apartment downtown. She searched almost every side street and alley before she found one. The small apartment had a bathroom, a living room, and no bedrooms. The rent was relatively low.
Chapter 1266Eileen said flatly, "Kirsten, I can’t rest.""Why?" Kirsten asked with a puzzled expression."Because I'm very short of money right now."Eileen raised her eyes and said, "Chemotherapy is expensive and my savings won't support me for long."Kirsten gritted her teeth and said, "That son of a bitch didn't give you anything, right?""He gave me two properties and some money, but I've given all of them to Brad." "Health is more important than money. You can earn the money in the future. But if you die, Brad will lose you! He will lose his mother!"Eileen's chest rose and fell rapidly. "The chance of recovering from cancer is too low. I can't accept that I'm dead and all my money is gone. Luke doesn't like Brad. If Luke remarried and had his own children, he will only dislike Brad even more. I have to plan for Brad's future."Kirsten's eyes turned red when she heard what Eileen said.Only maternal love was selfless in this world."I think Brad wants you more than he
Chapter 1267'She was so good at playing tricks.'From a distance, Luke saw Eileen throw all things on the ground and hide in the bushes beside her.The cops didn't notice her but continued running forward.He straightened the collar of his suit expressionlessly.'Eileen, it's useless to pretend to be miserable in front of me!' Besides, they were divorced, so he would never have contact with her anymore.Through the car window, he saw her stagger out of the bushes, squat down, and pick up those things scattered on the ground.Brandy and Brad didn't pay any attention to that, so they didn't see her.On the first day, she was very unlucky.Eileen didn't give up but insisted on it.In the following three days, things gradually went well. She earned some money and could occasionally earn more than one hundred dollars.This evening, she packed up early and rushed over there.But the cops came again.Based on her previous experience, Eileen packed up her things quickly and ran
Chapter 1268Currently, this was how things stood between Eileen and Luke.When she couldn't bear to part from him, he had meant the world to her.All she had wanted to do was stay by his side and watch over him, and she had found it heart-warming even when being teased or cold-shouldered by him.But now, having thought it through, she felt fully relaxed and at ease, and her pain seemed to have been alleviated.Luke felt a surge of anger as he perceived the disregard that Eileen was showing for him.He strode forward and blocked her path. "Are you listening to me?""Does that matter?"That was a response he hadn't bargained for.Now it was Luke's turn to stiffen with incredulity.Never once had she been so frigid to him before.Luke snorted inwardly.'She's getting addicted to acting,' he thought.Eventually he shook the thing in his hand and asked, "Do you want this or not?""No!" she replied unhesitatingly.Then she walked around him and stood beside the bus stop sign,
Chapter 1269From that night on, she didn't love him anymore.Standing there, Luke was still carrying that bag.He frowned, staring somewhat disgustedly at it.He then looked around. The cars and buses were coming and going. There were few cabs in this area.He muttered a curse and called his assistant to drive over.After ten minutes, the assistant came.Seeing Luke carry the dirty bag, the assistant froze.He then quickly got out of the car.He hurriedly took the bag, saying, "Mr. Bennington, please get in the car. I'll throw it."The bag was handed over to the assistant. Luke stepped into the car while seeing the assistant going to the nearby garbage bin with the bag.The assistant somehow reminded him of that woman's back. Luke said, "Come back. Put it into the trunk."The assistant looked down at the soiled bag in confusion.Wasn't this garbage?Why did Mr. Bennington keep it?As they returned to the villa, Brad was eating.He was much better behaved than before, n
