Chapter 1272The rims of Brad's eyes were red instantly.But he tried not to cry. He knew that if he cried, his mom would cry too, so he couldn't cry."Mom, will I never see you again?""Yes," Eileen held back the grief in her heart and nodded.Then she squatted down and slowly straightened up Brad's clothes. Stroking his forehead, she looked lovingly at him.There was a lot she wanted to say, but she just said, "You have to listen to Dad."Luke frowned. He couldn't bear such a scene and felt a little irritable.'She's still acting more and more affectionately in this tragic drama.''It will be a waste of her talent if she doesn't become an actress.'He drew a cigarette from its case, held it to his lips and lit it."Whoosh..."He took a long puff of smoke and said, "Brad, come here."Brad ignored him. He stood on his toes, kissed Eileen on her face and said, "Mom, I will always love you."Trying not to shed tears, she said, "Don't lose your temper and take care of yourse
Chapter 1273Brad smiled and said thoughtfully, "Mom, I'll carry your bag for you."Reluctant to let Brad carry the dusty and shabby bag, Eileen shook her head and said, "It's too heavy for you. I'll carry it."Brad finally smiled. He followed her obediently and picked things up from the ground.As they left, they didn't even look at Luke, let alone say goodbye to him.Luke was angry and cursed her in his heart. He really didn't know why he would agree to it.He slowly drove his car forward and blocked their way. He looked sullen. He was a little annoyed and impatient, "Get in the car."Eileen said directly, "No, thanks. We'll take the bus.""I will be busy later and have no time to pick him up. I'll take him back to the Bennington family's villa after the meal. You can get in the car if you like, but it's okay if you don't."As long as she could be with Brad, she could accept the time no matter how long or short. She told Brad to get in the car first. She reached out her han
Chapter 1274After a while, Eileen came out of the kitchen, walked to Brad and said in a low voice, "Brad, set the table and then have dinner."Brad nodded and quickly picked up his assignment notebooks. He went to find a rag and wiped the table.When Eileen was filling the bowls with vegetable soup and putting other food on the plates, he ran over and took them to the table.Luke narrowed his eyes.When Brad was in the Bennington family's villa, he would either refuse to eat or cry. He hadn't been as obedient as he was now.They just filled two bowls of vegetable soup and then sat opposite each other, ignoring Luke as if he wasn't present.Brad loved the vegetable soup and couldn't stop eating it.As Eileen served him food, she kept telling him to eat slowly. "Eat slowly and don't choke. Nobody will take them from you. They are all yours."Her room wasn't large, and it was now full of fragrances that made them want to eat.Luke hadn't had dinner yet and hadn't felt hungry ea
Chapter 1275Luke glanced at Eileen, then casually picked up his suit in one hand and Brad in the other as he intended to leave.Suddenly there was a loud bang.Eileen moved to the window promptly.A big tree was blown down in the strong wind and crushed on a limousine.Obviously, the typhoon was coming.And the windows clattered as if they were going to shatter the next moment.Eileen put the table against the windows.Luke called Brandy, "I'll send you an address. Come pick me up."Brandy replied, "Mr. Bennington, I just can’t make it right now. With a whole gale, traffic control has begun."Luke frowned at this."I really couldn't make it. The water on the road is so deep that some shops have been flooded." Brandy explained hurriedly."Well, I see."Luke hung up.At the same time, Brad woke up and rubbed his eyes, "We're not leaving, are we, Dad?""Uh, yeah, I guess so.""So, when do we leave?" Brad asked cautiously.Luke answered, "That hasn't been decided yet."Fo
Chapter 1276Luke had never eaten food made by Eileen.There had been no exceptions since they got married.She recalled how, when they were just married, she would prepare sumptuous meals for him every day after work and wait for him to return home.However, Luke always ignored these dishes or asked servants to throw them in the garbage.Then, she did not do it for him later.Hearing Eileen's words, Luke became upset."Well..."Luke sneered and collapsed on the sofa again."Ding-"His phone received some news.Luke clicked on the news.--Typhoon Fireworks will bring heavy rain to our city from 24th to 26th. The wind scale will increase to 10-12 today. From 20:00 on the 23rd to 20:00 on the 24th, the rainfall has reached 552mm.--People should not go out and all transportation has stopped service!Luke's forehead knotted in a frown.That meant that it was still unknown when they could leave.And on top of that, he had to be hungry all the time.Glancing at the delicious
Chapter 1277Them, Luke took a bit in disgust.Then his countenance changed lightly. Not as unpalatable as he thought, but delicious. It was different from what he used to eat.Therefore, he made another one.At the same time, Eileen got out of bed and saw the tall figure in the kitchen.She froze in shock and amazement, "What are you doing?"Luke raised his eyebrows because he did not expect to be caught on the spot. But he continued eating as if he had not heard it.He did not feel embarrassed at all.Eileen did not know Luke had this side to him.She was unaware that Luke would be so shameless.Luke remained silent, and Eileen did not want to talk to him.Eileen did not care. It was all leftovers, so it did not matter how much he ate.If this had happened before they were divorced, she would be happy, but at that moment, she felt nothing.She went to the bathroom and had a sick feeling in her gut.Again, she coughed out blood.There was a lot more blood than she had co
Chapter 1278Luke stared at Eileen with his severe eyes, "Ha! Here's the proof. You're not seriously expecting me to believe that?"Obviously, the proof he referred to was scissors and key chains...That mocking smile still hung on Eileen's lips."It seems that you don't understand that. It's rather simple.""When I loved you, I would naturally be jealous over this stuff and even wanted to destroy it. Now, I have no feelings for you. So why should I be jealous?""The truth is when I got jealous, you didn't want me to. And now, I’m like that. That's what you want, isn't it?"Luke still did not believe her and stared at her with a scowl."You still don't believe me, do you? Let me put it another way."Eileen said quietly and slowly, staring at him."I won't love a man who will kill me for a photo. You are undeserving of my affections. From the moment you wanted to kill me, I no longer have any illusions about you, understand?"After that, Eileen said nothing more.Luke stood m
Chapter 1279Moved by Brad, Eileen smiled.She laughed more merrily than ever before and said, “Thank you, my sweetie.”Brad’s words made Eileen feel that the past eight years had not been in vain and that tolerance was worthwhile.Then, Brad left the kitchen to play.Eileen, who had done the dishes, looked over at Luke, who was leisurely on the sofa with his leg crossed, “We’ve divorced, so I have no obligation to cook for you. And here’s not the free canteen, all the food is bought with money. It may not mean much to you as the president of Bennington Corporation, but I'm rather short of it!”That was the truth, and she meant it. She had no job, no income, and little savings.Moreover, she was sick and needed money.Suddenly, Luke’s countenance changed.His anger finally overflowed, and he sneered with disdain, “So you mean you're gonna broke because I eat some of your food!”“God, I’m not reduced to mendicancy. It’s just a meal. I'll pay you now!”He took out his wallet fr
