Chapter 1293


    Luke''s chest heaved.


    He didn’t leave, quietly gazing at Brad sleeping.


    He stood still for ten or twenty minutes.


    Luke gently stroked Brad''s face and tucked him in before leaving.


    Back in his room, he didn’t sleep, standing : n front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out of the


    window. It was dark as ink. He held a ss of wine, shook it, and then downed it.


    Early the next morning.


    Brad was brought downstairs by Brandy to eat breakfast. Brandy was surprised to see his boss


    reading the newspaper instead of going to thepany.


    Brad didn''t like soya milk.


    At the smell of it, he wrinkled his small brows like an aged man.


    It was just a tiny detail, but Luke noticed it. He put down the newspaper, saying, "Just leave it if you


    don''t like it."


    Yet Brad shook his head. "Mom said I can''t waste food. I''ll drink it this time. Don''t prepare soya milk


    for me again."


    Raising his little head, he pouted and swallowed the soya milk though reluctant.


    Luke was stunned and had to admit that she educated Brad very well.


    Brad was well-behaved and good-mannered.


    After Brad had his breakfast, Brandy wanted to drive him to school but was stopped by Luke. "I


    happen to have time. I''ll take him to school.”


    Brandy froze, while Brad blinked his bright eyes, tilted his head, and stared at Luke.


    Luke walked forward on his long legs, his straight and neat trousers fluttering slightly.


    As he passed by Brad, he crooked his long fingers and tapped on his forehead. "What are you


    waiting for?"


    Eileen was still busy with work. Theic book would soon be published, so she had t o finish it


    quickly.


    Suddenly, a strong aroma wafted over.


    She looked up in surprise, meeting Ruben''s eyes.


    "I saw you rushing to work early in the morning. Have a cup of coffee to refresh yourself," Ruben


    said softly with a smile.

    "Thank you."


    Indeed, she was a little tired. She stopped working, stretched, picked up the coffee, and took a sip.


    "It tastes good."


    "Do you have time after work tonight?"


    Ruben sat down in the chair opposite her.


    "I know a new cafe. The coffee there is quite good. Would you like to go and try it after work?"


    Hearing this, Eileen paused, holding the cup.


    What did he mean by this?


    Was he inviting her?


    After a while, she looked at Ruben. "Sorry, I have something to do after work, so I can''t g o there."


    "It''s okay. Do your things first. We''re in the same office. We''ll have many chances in the future."


    Ruben chuckled, pointing at the coffee cup i n her hand. "Hurry up and drink it while it''s hot."


    Eileen nodded, smiled, and then went back to work.


    However, someone in the office noticed this. The gossip soon spread within thepany that


    Ruben was interested in her and wanted to pursue her.


    Eileen also heard it but didn''t take it to heart.


    In the workce, there was no shortage of gossip.


    If she purposely cleared it up, people would believe there must be something between her and


    Ruben.


    So why bother?


    Ruben was handsome and had a good family. How could he be interested in her, a cripple?


    Eileen thought the gossip was funny.


    She only had afternoon tea with her colleague, but those guys cooked up a tacky story.
