Chapter 1401"Sherman is shopping with Eileen. They are going to have coffee and lunch. Eileen has a blind date today."Luke's brow furrowed. His Adam's apple bobbed. He couldn't believe that. "Didn't she mention me?""Yes."Kingsley suddenly remembered something.Luke's face softened as he heard this. "What did she say?""Eileen said she had made it clear to you yesterday, but you didn't accept. That means rejection. You want to leave, and she has no right to stop you and can't stop you. She's afraid that she can't make you change your mind even if she wants to, so she has decided to give up."Luke's face turned cold when he heard this.He curled his thin lips and cursed, "Damn it! This woman has no perseverance at all! Where there's a will, there's a way. She doesn't even have the persistence. How can she succeed?"He turned back while pulling his suitcase and walked towards the exit of the airport.Kingsley's eyes were full of amusement, but he held back his laughter, foll
Chapter 1402Luke frowned, at a loss what to say, stammering, "Well... Um..."Eileen ignored him and turned her back on him."It's all my fault! I didn't mean to say that yesterday. I'm so happy. I just want you to care about me so that I can be relieved. Don't be angry with me, OK?" He could do nothing but try to please her with sweet words. The others were shocked to see him grovel.This was different from the plot he had expected. It could be described as a sharp turn.Sherman's shoulders couldn't stop shaking. She just couldn't stand it!Why didn't this man treasure the chance? He refused Eileen but now came to apologize. What a fool!Sherman wanted to laugh but she fought it back. Her stomach hurt!Eileen still didn't look at him, facing the window indifferently.Brad looked on with interest, suggesting, "Dad, tell Mom how much you love her. I saw the heroes do that in TV dramas."Luke's face stiffened. He then went down on one knee and said, "I owe a woman too much, a
Chapter 1403Her chest heaved.Suddenly, she had an impulse to give in, but she knew she couldn't."Do you know why I tricked you into coming back?" she asked, pushing him away."Because Brad can't leave his father. You told me that."Eileen said, "That's just one of the reasons. There's another one."Luke's heart pounded as he asked, "What do you mean?"He thought, 'She must have found that she can't live without me and that how good I am. She wants to make up with me.'"I have cancer."Eileen said slowly, "It's in the middle stage, so you have to come back and take care of Brad. I don't have the energy to take care of him anymore."Luke raised his eyebrows. "I already promised you that I will stay, and you're still tricking me?"Eileen looked at him.Luke didn't believe that she had cancer.After a moment of hesitation and a slight frown, she mustered up the courage to take off her wig.Instantly, Luke froze, thunderstruck.After a while, he regained his composure, his
Chapter 1404To be honest, a good-looking person always fitted in well with any style.With a shaven head, he looked dangerous, attractive, and refreshing."It's up to me."Sitting by the bed, Luke looked at her deeply and said word by word, "Don't worry. I won't let you die." "You're my woman. I'll protect you! Even Death can't take you away from me!"Eileen's emotions were churning as she heard this.From the moment she was diagnosed, she had forced herself to be strong and calm.Because she knew that she could only rely on herself.Yet now, hearing his words, her mental armor broke, revealing her weakness."Three top medical teams will come over from different countries this afternoon. Prepare yourself. It's a tough battle, but we'll win."Luke stared fixedly at her. "The medical professors will come every day. You'll have a hard time, but I'll always be with you."Eileen's lips moved. As she was about to speak, she was hugged by him.The hug was warm like a sturdy wal
Chapter 1405After thinking for a few seconds, Luke answered, "Okay."Eileen said, "Swear to me."Luke stared at her, "Do I have to swear?""Yes.""Okay, I swear on my life that I will take care of Brad whether you will pull through or not!"Eileen soon fell asleep again.Luke leaned on the bed, sleepless all night.Brad had mixed feelings. He was happy that he could live with his mother and was sad that his mother was sick.Early the next morning, Brad badgered Luke into going to a nearby church to pray for Eileen. They also bought her an amulet.Brad hoped that his mom would survive. As long as his prayer was answered, he would come to the church more often.Subsequently, Luke saw the power of cancer.In just a few days, Eileen had lost so much weight that her cheeks were sunken.Whether it was day or night, Luke didn't dare to sleep and kept an eye on her all the time.He lay in bed with her in his arms. As soon as she moved, he would immediately wake up.Eileen was
Chapter 1406Grace came back from the company. It was already 9:30 p.m. Her work was not going well. She made some mistakes and was severely criticized.She was a high-profile person and attracted a lot of attention in the company.The other employees in the office looked at her with hatred.Grace was rarely scolded. They secretly sneered at her.Those talented, good-looking people wouldn't be envious of others or laugh at others.Grace's colleagues hated her just because of jealousy.Grace ignored them.She was in a fret. She always had painful periods. She fidgeted in her chair with a pale face."Damn it!"Grace kicked off her high heels, stepping on the floor with bare feet. Her legs were slender and sexy.She casually brushed her curly hair back, took the shower gel, and walked into the bathroom.She liked to bathe.When the warm water fell on her, it took away her fatigue in an instant.She thought that she looked sexy in the water, just like a mermaid.Grace usuall
Chapter 1407The sound of footsteps came from outside.Immediately after that, Charlie walked in.He pulled open his suit jacket. Seeing Mckenzie, Charlie knitted his handsome eyebrows, walked over, and squatted in front of her. "Mom, what happened to your leg?"Mckenzie patted the back of his hand, consoling him that there was nothing seriously wrong with it.She then told him what had happened just now."If my leg were good and I could move, I would never ask Grace to go to the restaurant to help. But I had an accident. I've made it clear. You can discuss what to do next with Grace."Charlie narrowed his eyes, chuckled, and hugged Mckenzie. "Mom, you've worked hard for so many years in the restaurant. Whenever I asked you to rest, you refused. Now I'm relieved that you can take a break from the restaurant stuff. Of course, I am not gloating.""Do you think I don't want to rest? But how can I rest?"Grace is not a qualified wife. She can't have children or help with the work
Chapter 1408"So you've already thought of these before?"Grace gently poked him in the chest with her finger."Do you know I've never even been in a kitchen before? Your mom asked me to make the dressing. I don't even know what the pot looks like. She's killing me!"Do you know I'll go crazy if I stay there for a few months with fumes and fire?"Since her voice was a little loud and she was emotional, her spittle hit Charlie's face.He reached out to wipe his face.However, Grace noticed it. "So you hate my saliva?""I just want to spread it evenly."Charlie quickly smiled at her, his eyes crinkling, while he wiped his face with his big hand. "It can make my face smooth!"Grace was amused, pushing him. "Stop joking. I'm serious. I can't get into the kitchen.""Grace, do you know how I felt when I heard what Mom said just now?"Charlie gazed deeply into her eyes. "I was elated."Grace looked at him confusedly."The restaurant's dressing is a secret recipe handed down from
