Chapter 1274
After a while, Eileen came out of the kitchen, walked to Brad and said in a low voice, "Brad, set the
table and then have dinner."
Brad nodded and quickly picked up his assignment notebooks. He went to find a rag and wiped the
table.
When Eileen was filling the bowls with vegetable soup and putting other food on the tes, he ran
over and took them to the table.
Luke narrowed his eyes.
When Brad was in the Bennington family’s vi, he would either refuse to eat or cry. H e hadn''t been
as obedient as he was now. They just filled two bowls of vegetable soup and then sat opposite each
other, ignoring Luke as if he wasn''t present.
Brad loved the vegetable soup and couldn''t stop eating it.
As Eileen served him food, she kept telling him to eat slowly. "Eat slowly and don’t choke. Nobody
will take them from you. They are all yours."
Her room wasn’trge, and it was now full o f fragrances that made them want to eat.
Luke hadn''t had dinner yet and hadn''t felt hungry earlier, but now the fragrance made him feel
hungry and his stomach made a noise.
But he never ate the food made by Eileen, s o he still sat there and didn''t move.
"Ding!"
Suddenly, Eileen''s cell phone rang.
Eileen ignored it. She thought it must be some kind of advertising text message.
Brad enjoyed the food. He had been starving for days.
Eileen looked at him lovingly, "Take your time. I''ll make you a pancake. Take it with you when you
leave."
"Yes, Mom," Brad nodded.
After having put down her fork, Eileen walked back into the kitchen and began to cook.
In addition to the pancake, she made Brad''s favorite french fries.
Two hourster, she came out of the kitchen.
In the living room, Luke was leaning back against the bed with his eyes closed, breathing steadily.
He fell asleep.
Brad was well-behaved. He was doing his homework.
Eileen wanted to spend more time with Brad, so she didn''t wake Luke up. She asked Brad how he
had been these days.
After answering her question, Brad said," Mom, I can''t solve these math problems."
Eileen sat next to him and softly exined to him.
After Brad had finished his homework, Eileen and Brad got up to brush their teeth, then snuggled up
to each other and chatted.
In this way, time passed quietly.
Finally, Luke was awakened by a nightmare.
Over these years, he had recurring dreams about Zora''s death, including how she had died, how
she had looked when she died and her unclosed eyes when she died.
Perhaps Luke didn’t realize that Zora’s death had created an incubus in his mind.
After that dream, he felt a pain in his forehead and was drowsy. He sat up on his hands and rubbed
his forehead gently with his fingers.
When the pain disappeared gradually, he looked at the watch on his wrist.
It was two o’clock in the morning, which was veryte. He couldn''t stay in Eileen''s ce any longer.
He stretched out his arms and put on his suit jacket casually.
Brad had fallen asleep in Eileen''s arms.
Luke walked over and reached out his hands to scoop Brad up.
Although she was asleep, Eileen instinctively tightened her arms around Brad.

Luke was very tall. At the moment he was bending over, very close to her.
She didn''t open her eyes but hid from his movement.
Luke sneered as his arms slid into hers.
Eileen woke up and looked up suddenly.
They hit their foreheads hard together.
She felt a pain on her forehead and frowned.
Luke raised his eyebrows with pain. He hadn’t thought of her forehead as hard as a stone. He said,
"Let go of your hands."
Without letting go of her hands or moving.
Eileen remained in her previous position.
Her strength was greater than he had imagined.
Luke bent down a little more and put more force on his arms.
His eyes were deep, and he said coldly, "If you don''t want to wake Brad up, you''d better let go of
your hands."
Eileen came to her senses, froze and then let go of her hands.
