Chapter 1268


    Currently, this was how things stood between Eileen and Luke.


    When she couldn''t bear to part from him, h e had meant the world to her.

    All she had wanted to do was stay by his side and watch over him, and she had found it heart-


    warming even when being teased or cold-shouldered by him.


    But now, having thought it through, she felt fully rxed and at ease, and her pain seemed to have


    been alleviated.


    Luke felt a surge of anger as he perceived the disregard that Eileen was showing for him.


    He strode forward and blocked her path. "


    Are you listening to me?" "Does that matter?"


    That was a response he hadn''t bargained for.


    Now it was Luke''s turn to stiffen with incredulity.


    Never once had she been so frigid to him before.


    Luke snorted inwardly.


    ''She''s getting addicted to acting,'' he thought.


    Eventually he shook the thing in his hand and asked, "Do you want this or not?"


    "No!" she replied unhesitatingly.


    Then she walked around him and stood beside the bus stop sign, waiting for the bus toe.


    "Eileen, if this is your tactic to attract my attention, it''s not working!"


    Eileen knitted her brows and looked at Luke, "To attract your attention? What''s that supposed to


    mean?"


    The look in Luke''s dark eyes hardened somewhat as he said, "The reason why you set up a stall on


    my only route to work was because you wanted to appeal to my sympathies by ying the damsel


    in distress, wasn''t it?"


    Eileen dissolved into a sneer and, looking a t him, snapped, "Luke, narcissism is a mental disorder.


    You need to see a shrink!"


    Luke said haughtily, "I have an intimate knowledge of my mental health, and I know very well what


    you''re thinking."


    "Luke, I suggest you pay a visit to the hospital and have your brain checked." Eileen lifted her hand


    to point at her temple lightly.


    Luke raised his eyebrows, paying scant regard for her words.


    He felt that Eileen was just putting on an act.


    He thought, "This woman''s such a wily old fox!"


    At that moment, a bus came to a halt beside them.


    Carrying the tote bag, Eileen trudged towards the bus door.


    However, she had gone only two paces when Luke gripped her bag from behind.


    She swiveled her head around. "Let go!"


    Luke''s dark eyes narrowed and rested on her.


    His thin lips parted as he demanded with manifest impatience, "Have you no shame?


    Shame?


    A pang of resentment swept over Eileen.


    She turned and lifted her eyes to look at Luke.


    His face was as handsome as always, but its contours were sharp, his eyes piercing and icy.


    But that didn''t bother Eileen much. She even had a thin smile on her face when she replied, "Luke,


    we’ve divorced. Mind your own business! Whether what I''ve been doing is shameful or not has


    nothing to do with you. You have no right and are in no position to judge me."


    Luke''s pupils contracted at her words, his face taut.


    He thought, "Damn it. I almost forgot we''re divorced."


    "Ha, are you not afraid Brad might feel ashamed of you?"


    Eileenpsed into silence, her chest heaving in and out.


    The bus was about to leave. She would fail t o catch it unless she started moving right away.


    Disinclined to prolong the unpleasant conversation, she promptly released her grip on the bag and


    hurried onto the bus.


    Since he wanted it so much, she should just let him have it.


    Hardly had she gotten on the bus than the door closed. She staggered and would have fallen if she


    hadn''t hastily grasped the handrail to steady herself.


    There were many unupied seats on the bus, especially in thest row.


    Sitting in the back row, Eileen looked through the window and distinctly saw Luke carrying the bag.


    She impassively withdrew her eyes and kept them fixed ahead.
