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
Chapter 1284 "Am I that perfect?" Kingsley looked deeply into Sherman’s eyes. Her simple words touched his heart. "Absolutely! Now you know how happy I've been since I'm with you." Sherman beamed at him. She blushed while saying the words. After a while, the two left, Kingsley’s arm wrapped around Sherman’s waist. The red roses behind them were swaying in the wind…On the other side… Eileen went to the company. It was the general manager of the company that gave her the interview. The manager was a little surprised to see her slightly lame leg. Eileen noticed the strange look in the manager’s eyes. She awkwardly withdrew her leg. The manager smiled, "Please sit down." "Thank you." "Are you married?" Eileen took a deep breath. "I've divorced." "I'm sorry." The manager apologized. Then she asked again, "Do you have children?" "Yes, a boy. Now he lives with his father." The manager nodded her head.In Eileen's case, she definitely had no intention of havi
Chapter 1285 "No, I’m not!" Brad shook his head, "I promised mom I'd behave. But I'm used to eating mom's cooking." Brad paused and watched his dad's expression carefully. Then he continued, "I want to go to mom's place to eat. Dad, you also ate more when we were at mom's place. Mom's cooking is delicious." Hearing Brad's words, Luke was irritated immediately. He lost his patience. It was like he was being poked at a sore point. He snapped, "You can eat if you want, or you can starve yourself!" Brad continued to beg him, "I won't go to mom's home after she leaves the country. Dad, is it okay?" Luke refused him bluntly, "No way! Don't even think about it! You want too much!" Then Brad was silent again. "If he doesn't eat much, get him what he wants. If he's being pettish, leave him alone! I want to see how long he could starve!" Luke glanced at Brad and warned the servant in a stern voice. Brad didn't dare to speak. He had always been afraid of his father, and now th
Chapter 1286A week passed in the blink of an eye.In the evening.As soon as he came back from school, Brad locked himself into his room, not eating.Sitting on the sofa, Luke glanced up at Brad's room and ordered Brandy, "Go upstairs and take a look.""Yes."Brandy was relieved.Mr. Bennington finally began to care about his son. This was a good start.He went upstairs and knocked gently on the door."Come in."Brandy pushed open the door.Brad was lying on his bed, watching a video.Brandy said, "Brad, it's time to eat dinner."Brad shook his head. "Brandy, I want to eat after making a cake.""You know how to do it?" Brandy asked in surprise."No, but I'm learning from the video. I want to make a cake myself."Brandy said, "We have a pastry chef at home. Let me take you down and ask him to teach you."Instantly, Brad's face softened. "Thank you, Brandy."They went downstairs. Brandy sent Brad to the kitchen and then came to Luke. Brandy told Luke that Brad was lear
Chapter 1287Brad inherited her genes. They were both good at acting.He threw aside the newspaper and said in a deep voice, "Come here!"...In the company.Eileen had adapted to the new work. She planned to earn enough money for chemotherapy and hospitalization.In the evening, the manager, Jayla Sampson, told the staff to go to the bar together after work.Eileen declined, "Ms. Sampson, I'm not feeling well. I want to go back home early."She had something wrong with one of her legs, so the bar wasn't suitable for her. People would make fun of her.Jayla shook her head. "Everyone else will attend. Why can't you?"Eileen wanted to refuse, but Jayla had already left.Resignedly, she intended to go through the motions quickly and leave the bar.After all, she had just joined the company. She needed to get used to it.Besides, Jayla was good to her. She had to go as a favor to Jayla.At the end of the day, everyone in the office cheered.Eileen was calm.Some of them had
Chapter 1288Meanwhile, Ruben slipped up.Only then did Eileen know that he was the son of the company's president."Keep it a secret for now." Ruben shook his head with resignation."Okay. I won't tell others."Eileen smiled faintly. "I'm not a gossip. Don't worry.""I trust you."Ruben laughed."I had never told other colleagues about it for so long but spilled the beans to you. The company is not as good as before. It's getting worse rapidly."Before I take it over, I have to know it very well and then make a change. My parents set up the company. Many people entered the company through the back door. They did nothing but occupy the positions and sideline the talents.""Just like you believe I'll keep the secret, I believe you can manage the company well. Now few rich second generations are as patient and determined as you. They are all pompous and unrealistic. Where there's a will, there's a way. That's always true."Ruben's smile deepened. "Thank you for your blessings.
Chapter 1289She had never spoken to him so calmly.Now, however, she felt at peace. She was satisfied with her progress.Hearing what she said, Luke didn't feel any better. Instead, he was annoyed.He said indifferently, "It sounds as if I was eager to come here. If Brad hadn't cried for you, do you think I would have brought him here?"Besides, if he hadn't been unable to stand because of the long wait, would I have asked the landlord for the key to bring him in?"But now I think that is superfluous. You don't want me to bring Brad here. You can rest assured. I won't do it again!"Luke was in an extremely bad mood.He shouldn't have been soft-hearted and listened to Brad!Therefore, he should continue his previous style, being cold and impersonal.Anyway, he didn't want Brad to be close to Eileen, which was not conducive to the development of Brad's character.Hearing this, Eileen wrinkled her brows involuntarily, saying, "You can ask the maid or the driver to take Brad ov
