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
Chapter 1270The next morning, Eileen had breakfast and was ready to go to the hospital.As soon as she opened the door, the familiar bag, which she had let go of yesterday, came into view. Why did the bag appear here?Did Luke send it here?It was strange that he didn't throw it away!Last night, she stocked a lot of goods.Now, she could not let them pile up. After all, she paid money for them.She intended to run a stall again in the evening and tried her best to sell out these things.If they really could not sell out, she decided to bargain them away. In a word, this pile of things should be disposed of as soon as possible.At dusk, Eileen took those things back to the place where she had run a stall.This time, she was smarter. She went early to find a good spot.Besides, she was more experienced this time. She had already found a hidden location.If the police came, she could hide there.When she ran a stall for the first time, she was shy and at a loss.Now, how
Chapter 1271"You aren't well-behaved. When did you learn to run away from home? Who taught you that?" She was sullen and her face was full of anger.She thought it was a terrible thing that a kid of eight years old ran away from home."Mom, I just missed you so much."Brad lowered his head and looked at Eileen.After hearing what Brad had said, Eileen became less angry.But her face was still cold.She couldn't indulge him in such a bad habit."I miss you too, but that's no reason for you to run away from home," Eileen said seriously. "Let's go. I'll take you back to the Bennington family's villa.""I don't want to go back to the Bennington family's villa. You neither phoned me nor came to see me. Mom, do you dislike me and don't want me?"Brad kept his mouth closed aggrievedly. His tears almost fell, but he held them back. Eileen was heartbroken.It wasn't that she didn't want Brad to be with her, but that she couldn't do it.If she was healthy, even if she didn't have
Chapter 1814Before Jazz came to pick up Essa, his elder brother told him he should give candies if he was blocked out of the door. The big brother got experience in his own wedding years ago. Jazz kept it in his mind. At the moment, under such circumstances, he generously distributed candies to everyone. Jazz was a smart guy! People were happy with the candies. They let him in and stopped making trouble for him. People were just having fun on their wedding day and making the atmosphere livelier. Essa's wedding dress was custom-made by the most famous designer in Paris. Summer had arranged it for her. It looked gorgeous on Essa. The wedding dress had a fishtail, which set off Essa's slender waist even more as if it could be grabbed in one hand. The dress was low-back, showing her fair skin. Under the light, Essa looked amazing! Essa was so beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful! Stepping on her crystal high heels, she walked slowly towards Jazz. The distance wasn't long,
Chapter 1813The neck was Essa's most sensitive spot. She felt itchy if someone touched her there, let alone that Jazz clung tight to there for so long. She could barely stand it. Her body was squirming timidly. "Don't seduce me!" Essa was angry, "I'm not seducing you! Just sleep! But can you not cling to me so tight?" "Why? Are you turned on by me?" Essa was lying with her back to him, her cheeks blushed, and she hissed, "Who is turned on?" ‘What the hell! The man is like a sex machine!’ "Since you are so sure of it, let me check you out." Essa wanted to kill herself, but before she did, she wanted to kill him first! "Are you lying, babe?" Jazz deliberately drawled. "Get away from me! If you don't want to sleep in the guest room, go sleep on the couch! I cannot sleep with you clinging to me so tight!" But Jazz ignored her demand. Essa's whole face had turned red, so red as if it was about to bleed. "Jazz!" "You can be louder. I'm fine with it anyway
Chapter 1812Jazz naturally had no objection because he couldn’t wait to get married. He had always been determined, and as long as he made the decision, he would never change his mind!Now that he had decided to marry her, he must do it!Essa had heard her words. Although she thought it was a little too hasty, she kept silent, giving tacit consent.They were getting married in fifteen days! It was really fast!But because the bridegroom was Jazz, she was not panicked at all. She was calm because cuddling up together with him like this made her feel happy.That night was not easy. Jazz was like a wolf who had been hungry for decades, and he would not let go of the delicious meat that had been put in front of his mouth.They had sex for another whole night. Although Essa was strong, she was no match for a man.Her legs and waist were so weak that she had to support her waist with both hands in order to stand up. She thought Jazz should not have been so horny even if he had hadn'
Chapter 1811Jazz lowered his head slightly and kissed her.Essa could not pretend to be sleeping any longer, so she opened her eyes and pressed her hands against his chest."Morning, baby." He stared at her tenderly and asked, "How did you feel last night? Are you satisfied?"She glared at him, not wanting to speak.But she didn't know her eyes were full of tenderness and love now.After the sex last night, Jazz could not resist such a temptation anymore.He bowed his head, intending to kiss her."Get up! I have to go to work! If you dare to kiss me now, I will definitely beat you up!"Jazz didn't kiss her but shrugged his shoulders.He was not afraid of her threat, but he knew it was her first time last night. He thought he could not ask her to make love again in the morning. Otherwise, she would be too tired.Essa was satisfied to see him give up. She glanced at the time and found she was about to be late, so she didn't want to waste time chatting with him anymore.But w
Chapter 1810"Why are you so sensitive?" Jazz smiled lightly, enjoying her current reaction."You’re talking nonsense! You are hugging me too tight. Back away..." She blushed slightly, keeping twisting her body.She had never had such intimate contact with a man before, so she felt hot all over and acted unnaturally."Do you think this distance is too close? We will be closer…"Essa couldn't take it anymore, so she stretched out her hands, pushed against his chest, and said, "Stop it!""Why? You have to get used to this. We will have more intimate interactions, so you have to get used to..."She felt a little scared about such intimate contact.Jazz pressed his body against hers tightly. The scenery outside was blurry at night, and the two of them were alone in the same room, so it was easy for them to become turned on, and sparks were flying between them.His long fingers began to take off her clothes.Soon, she was naked. Jazz picked her up and placed her on the bed."I'm
Chapter 1809Jazz opened the car door for her with a smile and said, "Baby, have an enjoyable time at work."After finishing speaking, he started the car and stepped on the accelerator, and then, the car disappeared without a trace, leaving Essa standing there in a daze.But she still needed to enter the police station to work. Even if she stood here for two hours, she could not solve the problem. There was no point in evading issues, so she decided to get in. Then, she gritted her teeth and walked in, keeping her eyes looking straight ahead.However, even if she didn’t look at others, others would still look at her. Along the way, many people stared at her.They had not expected Essa to be so open. She had actually done such a thing at the gate of the police station!Essa felt her cheeks were burning, but she still forced a smile and tried to be a thick-skinned person.She was hypnotizing herself.When she got into her office, she felt as if she had been flayed by the gazes
Chapter 1808"A few years. Why did you call him a bastard?""You still care about him? I just want to call him a bastard. Don't be silly. There are few innocent men like me. Think about it! It is cost-effective for you to marry me. You have never been married before, and neither have I. To be honest, with my appearance and status, it was not easy to stay single till now. Don’t you think it's very touching?"Hearing this, Essa was completely speechless."It's not touching at all. Are you sure you’re not impotent? Why are you a virgin till now? As you said, you have enough merits to fascinate others!"Hearing this, Jazz on the other end of the phone became sullen and said, "Are you doubting my potency?"Women’s suspicion was the most intolerable thing to men! How could she doubt his sexual potency? It had hurt his pride!"I didn't doubt it before, but you emphasized it over and over again. It is you that made me feel suspicious..." She took a sip of water. Compared to his exaspe
Chapter 1807Essa had told her that Summer was also from an ordinary family. Seeing she and Mark were so affectionate to each other, she felt relieved and believed that Mark was a good man.It was hard to imagine such a handsome man with a high status would be the same as an ordinary man when he was with his family.On the other side of the table, Essa was putting food on Jazz’s plate, while Jazz was picking out fishbones for her. Both of them had faint smiles on their faces, showing genuine love to each other.Essa’s mother let out a sigh of relief.After dinner, Mark insisted on sending the three of them home. Essa shook her head repeatedly and rejected because there were a lot of taxis outside the hotel."This is our first dinner together, so we must send you home. In this way, we can know where you live…"Although Mark's words were polite, they had an irresistible sense of solemnity.Jazz had wanted to refuse too, but after hearing Mark’s words, he swallowed the words back.
Chapter 1806Jazz walked over and handed her red roses."You're too high-profile!" Essa kneaded her forehead with her hand, feeling a headache."Don't you like it?" Jazz smiled."I like it very much." She took a deep sniff. The roses were exuding a light fragrance, making her mood good."My brother and sister-in-law want to have dinner with you and your family tonight. Do you want to meet them?"Essa blinked, "Didn't we meet before?""Yes, but it's not formal. This time, it will be a formal meeting at the Grande Hotel at eight o'clock in the evening…"Essa rubbed her forehead, then went home, and told her mother about the dinner. Her mother was a little worried. She had only met Jazz before, and Mark was a big shot that she could only see on TV. When he suddenly wanted to meet them, Essa’s mother felt nervous.Essa kept comforting her, saying there would be no problem because Mark was very approachable and easygoing.She then changed her clothes and put on makeup. Later, Jazz
