Chapter 1279


    Moved by Brad, Eileen smiled.


    Sheughed more merrily than ever before and said, "Thank you, my sweetie."


    Brad''s words made Eileen feel that the past eight years had not been in vain and that tolerance was


    worthwhile.


    Then, Brad left the kitchen to y.


    Eileen, who had done the dishes, looked over at Luke, who was leisurely on the sofa with his leg


    crossed, "We’ve divorced, so I have no obligation to cook for you. And here’s not the free canteen,


    all the food is bought with money. It may not mean much to you as the president of Bennington


    Corporation, but I''m rather short of it!" That was the truth, and she meant it. She had no job, no


    ie, and little savings.


    Moreover, she was sick and needed money.


    Suddenly, Luke''s countenance changed.


    His anger finally overflowed, and he sneered with disdain, "So you mean you''re gonna broke


    because I eat some of your food!"


    "God, I''m not reduced to mendicancy. It''s just a meal. TH pay you now!"


    He took out his wallet from his trousers pocket, took some cash at random, and put them on the


    table.


    When was he ever treated like this?


    He just had a meal and was asked for money?


    If it was not for a typhoon, how could he stay there?


    Eileen only took a little cash and gave the rest back.


    Eileen did not know when the typhoon would end.


    On the one hand, she hoped it could endter so that she would have more time with Brad.


    On the other hand, she hoped it could end a s soon as possible so that Luke could leave.

    Eileen was conflicted.


    Her phone received a news report at 20:00.


    It was reported that the typhoon and rainstorm would stop the next morning.


    Her insides suddenly felt like mush.


    But she adjusted herself soon.


    The two days of getting along with Brad


    had been an unexpected joy, and she was content.


    At night, Eileen held Brad in her arms and caressed his ruddy cheek lovingly.


    Brad feltfortable and sped in her arms.


    They hugged each other and fell asleep.


    The atmosphere was right. It was not too frigid or lively, but it was warm and cozy.


    The sofa was too small for Luke''s big frame. His legs had no space to stretch.


    However, he soon fell asleep in such a terrible condition.


    Muchter, an anxious voice reached


    Luke''s ears, "Daddy! Daddy! Wake up!”


    Luke thought he was dreaming, so he turned over and went back to sleep.


    But the voice grew in volume.


    That was loud enough to damage his eardrum.


    Luke opened his eyes and saw Brad''s anxious expression.


    He asked Brad with his hoarse voice," What’s up?"


    "Mommy..." Brad''s face looked ghastly white and pointed at the corner fearfully.


    Luke saw Eileen squatting in the corner, holding her head in her hands and shaking all over.


    He frowned, stood up, and strode towards her.


    As he approached, he noticed Eileen''s face was pale, and her lip was bleeding from biting.


    And she still clenched.


    If she continued like this, her lips would bleed.


    Luke stopped close to her, but she still did not want to look at him.
