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
Chapter 1280Luke gave out a low grunt from his nostrils. His arms thrust into hers and pulled her away forcefully. Eileen jerked her head up. Their foreheads collided. She ached, and immediately, her brows furrowed. Luke's eyebrows raised slightly in pain. He felt that Eileen's forehead was as hard as a rock. He shouted, "Open your mouth!" Eileen did not open her mouth nor did she move. She remained in the same position. The pain was fierce. She could barely bear it.Eileen was much stronger than Luke thought. Luke bent down some more and increased the strength in his arms. Just as Luke’s body continued to bend down, all of a sudden, Eileen moved backward, and immediately, Luke's body, without any support, instinctively fell forward, and his thin lips met her cheek. It felt soft, with a touch of coolness. That was the sensation that Luke felt with his lips. Unexpectedly, Luke felt a surge of heat inside his body. He gritted his teeth and cursed. After collectin
Chapter 1281 Eileen didn't go out to watch them leave. She was standing by the window. She stood there, watching Brad being taken into the helicopter, and then they were gone. Her heart felt a ceaseless pain. But it was so much better than the first time she was separated from Brad. She believed that Brad could do it. On the top of the building... Luke picked up Brad with one arm and strode into the helicopter. Brandy quickly handed Luke the headset. Luke took the headset and put it on Brad’s head. Then he put the headset on himself. Seeing the bite mark on Luke's hand, Brandy froze. "Mr. Bennington, what happened to your hand? Did you get bitten by something? Should we go to the hospital first?" Luke glanced at the bite mark. He said indifferently, "It was a dog." The flood in the street hadn’t subsided. Eileen couldn't go anywhere. She had to stay in her room.Suddenly, her cell phone rang. She picked up the phone. It was from a company's HR. The woman said she
Chapter 1282"I didn't want to see him live in loneliness and in grief for the rest of his life. I thought it would be good to have someone by his side. Maybe he would be cheered up…" "But in the end, it turned out I was wrong. I overestimated myself. I could not make him happy. He hated me. I didn't get to live a single happy day either…" "Well, I've talked so much. I'm feeling tired. You must be tired of listening to me out. I used to think that without love, just for Brad's sake, I should stick with our marriage." "But I'm so tired. I'm exhausted. It had been eight years, countless days and nights. He was no longer relevant to me now. I gave him my first love and my years of youth. That was enough." "From now on, I want to live my own life. As for Luke, I don't love him anymore. I used to be a blind moth flying to the fire. Now I don't love him anymore. It's getting late. I should leave now. I'll bring Brad to see you in a few days. You haven't seen him for a long time…
Chapter 1283Seeing Kingsley nod his head in response, Luke was content. He was grateful. "Thanks!" Luke knew Kingsley's character very well. Although Kingsley used to be gentle and mild, if he got enraged, no one could turn him back. After the things Luke had done, Kingsley nodded to him at the occasion, which meant that he had forgiven Luke. Luke started his step and walked slowly forward. Suddenly, Sherman shouted from behind, "Luke!" Luke's brow furrowed slightly, he paused his step and looked back at her. Sherman had a smile on her face and shouted, "Eileen is really a wonderful woman!" Hearing her words, Luke paused. His lengthy body froze, and he stood still. He had never expected Sherman to say such words to him. He was surprised. Luke paused for a moment. Then he continued to walk forward. Kingsley took off his trench coat and draped it over Sherman's shoulders. "Why would you say that to Luke?" "I didn't want Eileen to end up like me. Even i
