Chapter 1248


    Back downtown, they were too tired to move.


    Eileen persisted and took him to the mall.


    They were browsing in the children''s area o f the mall. Brad looked around and said," Mom, you


    have just bought me some clothes. I have a lot of clothes now. We''ll buy some clothes for you this


    time."


    Eileen forced a smile and picked out some o f thetest styles of clothes, a school bag and some


    other items for him.


    Besides, she took him to eat pizza, see his favorite 3D movie and buy his favorite toys.


    Brad was very happy.


    His mom never indulged him in this way. "Mom." He raised his head and called softly. "Well, what''s


    up?"


    "I feel like I''m dreaming today."


    Eileen asked confusedly, "Why do you think so?


    "Because not only did you go for an outing with me today, but you also bought me toys.


    Hearing this, Eileen felt heartbroken, "Are you happy today?"


    Brad nodded heavily and said, "Mom, I''m very happy. I hope you can take me out for outings like


    today in the future."


    "No problem. Mom will apany you as often as Mom can in the future. But there is one thing


    Mom has to tell you.”


    Eileen said seriously, "Here, let Mom tell you something."


    Brad sat up straight and said, "Mom, you can say it now and I''m listening."


    After a pause, she said slowly, "Your dad and I have been divorced, and you will live with him from


    now on."


    She felt very heartbroken, like being cut by a knife.


    Every more word she said made her feel more heartbroken.


    "Mom, you lie to me. You lie to me. You won’t abandon me." Brad shook his head and suddenly


    became restless.


    "I won''t abandon you. When I gave birth to you, your dad and I agreed that if I divorced him, you


    would live with him."


    Young as he was, he had a right to know it.


    She couldn''t hide it from him.


    Brad started crying immediately. He kept crying and said, "Mom, don''t divorce Dad, okay?"


    Seeing Brad crying, Eileen immediately felt heartbroken and began to cry, "You''re too young to


    understand what''s going on between me and your dad. Even if I tell it to you, you won''t understand.


    But Mom has to tell you. Your dad doesn''t like me. He isn''t happy being with me.


    That’s why he doesn''te home so much, and I''m not happy too. Even if Mom and your dad


    divorce, you will always be my honey. I will always love you."


    Brad was still crying, out of breath, and he blushed, "Mom, take me away. Take me away, okay? I


    don''t want to live with Dad. I want to live with you."


    His dad wouldn''t give him a piggyback ride when he was in pain, nor would he cook for him when


    he was hungry, and nor would h e wash his clothes for him.


    Brad had lived with Eileen for eight years since he was born. He couldn’t live without Eileen.


    "But you can only live with Dad. I can''t take you away."


    She felt heartbroken when she said thesest words. She was as desperate as she was when she


    gave birth to him, "You are more thoughtful than other children, so don’t cry. The reason Mom and


    Dad will divorce isn’t because of you. It''s Mom and Dad''s problem. Do you understand?"


    This time, instead of crying again, Brad reached out his fair palm and wiped tears from her face,


    "Mom, I know you haven''t been happy all the time. Dad doesn''t like you. He went shopping with


    another beautiful woman and appeared on TV and i n newspapers.


    But he never went shopping with you. Dad didn''te back to celebrate your birthday or call you


    on your birthday. My other ssmates'' moms would receive beautiful presents from their dads on


    their birthdays.


    You never received any gifts from him. Sometimes you cried on the night of your birthday, and


    sometimes you were in a daze. I''ve never seen you smile.


    So, the reason you will divorce Dad isn''t that you don''t want me, is it?"


    Eileen broke down in tears. She held him i n her arms with her hands. How could she have


    abandoned him?


    How could?


    Brad leaned into her arms and grabbed her clothes with his hands.


    "Mom will often go to see you. If you miss Mom, call Mom..." She couldn''t help crying.


    Brad nodded and patted her gently on the back. His eyes were red.
