Chapter 1291


    "I didn’t, but Mom bought apple pies and prepared a lot of delicious food for you.


    "Yet you never came back on your birthday. Most were eaten by me in the end. I was full, so Mom


    gave the remains to Wonda in the neighborhood."


    "Who’s Wonda?"


    He turned the wheel to the left.


    "Wonda is a white stray dog. It''s beautiful and understanding. Mom and I like it very much. It gave


    birth to six puppies. Two were white and four ck. Mom sent them to others," he burbled


    enthusiastically.


    Luke''s face darkened.


    Then his mind wandered.


    Apple pie wasn''t his favorite food but Zora''s.


    In the early years after Zora''s death, he didn’t celebrate his birthday. He just bought some apple


    pies.


    "Every time you called Mom, she went to the supermarket and bought many ingredients, but in the


    end, you left without eating the tasty dishes she cooked. I like prawns best, yet Mom only cooked


    them when you came back." Brad was dissatisfied.


    Luke frowned, his Adam''s apple moving.


    "Mom said that since you married her, you''ve been unhappy, and so has she."


    She married him just because she didn''t want him to suffer so much.


    She hoped he could live happily, but he didn''t.


    Luke somehow thought of what Eileen said in front of Merlin''s tombstone.


    His eyes slightly narrowed, deep and troubled.


    "If... I mean if your mother remarried, what would you do?"


    Luke didn''t know why he asked this question. It was probably because he saw the man in the car


    who was chatting happily with her.


    After thinking for a moment, Brad answered, "I''ll buy a big gift for Mom with all my pocket money!"


    Luke’s brow wrinkled as he heard this.


    Usually, when asked such a question, children would either cry or act up, but he was going to


    prepare a gift.


    "Maybe she''ll have another son or a daughter and have no time to care about you anymore. Are


    you okay with that?" he continued to ask.


    "I know Mom was unhappy being with you these years. My ssmates'' parents all live together, but


    you don’t. You are with beautiful women on TV or in the newspapers.


    "Every time Mom saw that, she was in a trance and even cried with her back to me, and then I knew


    that Mom loved you, but you didn''t love her. She led a hard and lonely life. When she told me you


    were divorced, I didn’t make a scene.


    "She said I had to go with you and could no longer live with her. I cried. I was sad, but I didn''t make


    a scene. Even at the most important moment, I didn''t. How will I do that in the future?


    "I know I''m young and no one will listen to me. Even if I make a scene, it won''t be useful. I


    understand that Mom will get married and have a new baby, and so will you.


    "Mom will still love me, but not as much as now. I''ll share her love with my sisters and brothers. You


    never love me, let alone when you have other children. I know it."


    He was very young but precocious.


    There were so many dramas on TV. He knew what would happen,


    Brad''s head dropped. His voice was muffled, not as light as usual.


    Such words from a child could make one feel sad and pity for him.


    Precocious children tended to be mentally mature.


    As Luke heard Brad''s words, Luke''s eyes gleamed.


    He had never known his son.

    Now, Brad seemed quite like him.


    However, that was a good sign.


    Only then could he take over the family business and be a qualified heir.
