Chapter 1271


    "You aren''t well-behaved. When did you learn to run away from home? Who taught you that?" She


    was sullen and her face was full of anger.


    She thought it was a terrible thing that a kid of eight years old ran away from home.


    "Mom, I just missed you so much."


    Brad lowered his head and looked at Eileen.


    After hearing what Brad had said, Eileen became less angry.


    But her face was still cold.


    She couldn''t indulge him in such a bad habit.


    "I miss you too, but that''s no reason for you to run away from home," Eileen said seriously. "Let''s


    go. I''ll take you back to the Bennington family''s vi."


    "I don''t want to go back to the Bennington family''s vi. You neither phoned me nor came to see


    me. Mom, do you dislike me and don''t want me? "


    Brad kept his mouth closed aggrievedly. His tears almost fell, but he held them back.


    Eileen was heartbroken.


    It wasn''t that she didn''t want Brad to be with her, but that she couldn''t do it.


    If she was healthy, even if she didn''t have much money, she would fight with Luke for the custody of


    Brad.


    But not only did she have no money, but she also had cancer. How could she take care of Brad?


    "Mom loves you forever, but you have to live with Dad," Eileen said word by word. " This is a


    decision we can''t change. Do you understand?"


    Brad was silent.


    At this moment, a ck car suddenly pulled over to the side of the road.


    The sound of car tires grinding against the ground was harsh and sharp.


    Eileen followed the sound and looked over.


    She saw Luke pursing his lips. There was a chill in him, which was frightening.


    She frowned.


    Brad had a bigger reaction. He hid behind Eileen quickly.


    "Eileen Barton," Luke''s voice was deep and angry. "Teaching him to skip school and run away from


    the Bennington family’s vi was your way of educating him?"


    Eileen shook her head and said, "I haven''t taught him these.”


    "What you said ispletely unbelievable, " Luke was sullen and his face was cold.

    Ignoring his sullen face, Eileen sneered, " Believe it or not, I haven''t."


    "Eileen Barton," Luke suddenly spoke up, like an angry lion.


    Before Eileen started to say something, Brad, who was hiding behind her, sprang out and stood


    between them.


    "I ran away from the Bennington family''s vi on my own. It has nothing to do with Mom. You can hit


    me, but you can''t yell at Mom."


    When he heard what Eileen had said, the veins on his forehead protruded. He said," For the past


    two days, you have pretended t o be well-behaved, which made the servants drop their guard, and


    then you ran away from home. You''ve gotten smarter."


    Brad raised his chin and didn''t say anything.


    At this moment, Eileen squatted down on the ground, looked at Brad and said, "Don''t ever do that


    again. If you ever run away from home again, Mom will never see you again. Never. Do you


    understand?"


    Brad froze.


    He couldn''t remember his mom saying anything so harsh.


    He couldn''t take it in for a moment.


    "As you know, Mom never lies to you. It''s the same this time."


    Eileen lied against her will, "I''m going to Athana soon. I may not be back for a long time, so stop


    worrying about me and running away from home, okay?"


    Luke''s face changed a little.


    ''Going to Athana?''


    Brad froze and asked, "Mom, are you going t o Athana?"


    "Yes, I will attend an art school in Athana. A s you know, Mom loves painting," Eileen said with a


    smile.


    "And when will you be back?"


    Eileen froze. After a long time, she said, "I won''t be back for a long time, and maybe I won''t be back


    forever."
