Chapter 1207
With bright eyes, he asked cautiously, "Dad, you will take Mom with you, won't you?"
"It depends on the situation." Luke's voice was low, and he did not answer directly.
But Brad did not give up. "You have promised Uncle Kingsley that you will bring me and Mom. An adult should be a man of his word."
Luke became silent.
After a moment, he nodded lightly. "Okay."
As soon as he heard this, Brad's eyes became even brighter, as he was overflowing with excitement and joy.
Forty minutes later.
Eileen walked into the living room in her pajamas.
Brad had turned off the TV, but Luke was not in the living room.
She laughed at herself.
‘As expected, he left.’
Though she knew that he would leave, she still expected him to stay. She really deserved to feel sad.
Brad said softly, "Mom, Dad doesn't leave. He went to buy cigarettes."
Eileen was taken aback. "Really?"
"Yeah."
Eileen smiled. "It's time for sleep. I’ll take you back to your room to sleep."
She carried him in her hands. But as Brad was a little heavy and her leg was lame, her body tilted to one side. She staggered to the room, almost falling.
When she was approaching the bed, she hurriedly stepped forward and held the edge of the bed to stabilize her body. ‘Brad's leg cannot get injured again.’
Then, she slowly put him on the bed with difficulty, after which her forehead was already covered with sweat.
It was very easy for ordinary people to put a child on the bed, but it was so difficult for her.
Brad was very considerate. He comforted her. "Mom, when I grow up, I will carry you. By then, I’ll be very strong and you are so light. I’ll definitely be able to carry you!"
Warm and considerate words always moved people.
Eileen smiled and pulled the quilt on him. ‘When Brad grows up, he must be a son with great filial piety, but I don’t know...’
"Go to sleep." she said.
Brad put his little head close to her ear and whispered softly, "Mom, Dad ate up all the food you left for him."
Eileen could hardly believe it. "Really? "
"Yeah!" Brad nodded his head. "And Cody has a younger sister. Dad said that he would take you and me to Uncle Kingsley's house."
Eileen looked even more surprised.
For the seven years of marriage, he had never brought her to any banquets or parties.
This was the first time.
There were so many surprises tonight that she was at a loss.
Brad winked his eyes at her. "Mom, remember to dress nicely. Good night."
"Good night."
After walking out of the room, Eileen hadn't come down to earth, as she was very excited.
At this time, Luke happened to be back.
They two looked at each other.
As if he didn’t see Eileen, he walked past her and sat on the sofa.
It was very quiet in the living room, and even the sound of a needle falling on the floor could be heard clearly.
Eileen had been used to his coldness.
This was the way he and she always got along. They had few words with each other. Even if there were some words, they were his mockery and sarcasm.
She thought that Luke would not stay here overnight.
He had never stayed here overnight, as he had many houses in Lanechett.
‘He came here today just to see Brad, and then he will leave soon.’
‘In fact, it's better for him to leave. I haven't been with him for a long time, so I don't even know how to talk to him.’
Suddenly, Luke asked, "Did the doctor say how long it will take Brad to leave the wheelchair?"
Although he was talking about Brad’s legs, the moment his gaze fell on her legs, she felt that he was mocking her and complaining that she had made Brad's legs injured.
"One month, maybe a little longer." Eileen answered.
"After Brad's legs are healed, immediately throw the wheelchair out of the apartment. I don't want to see such an obtrusive thing in my apartment." Luke narrowed his eyes.
‘Am I also an obtrusive thing?’
Eileen thought sadly.
But she didn't say anything, except to respond, "Okay."
