Early the next morning.
When Luke came out of the bedroom. Brad's little face lit up, as bright as the sunshine.
The three of them were eating breakfast. Brad nervously looked at Luke and then at Eileen. "Mom, today is my birthday. Will dad go out with us?"
He was still young and had never been closer to Luke. He was innately in awe of his dad.
"No. He has a lot of things to do. Hurry up and eat. I’ll take you out later," Eileen announced without asking for Luke's opinion.
He had never stayed with Brad on his birthday. When he didn't forget it, he would have the maid send over cake and gifts.
She wasn't the woman he loved, and Brad wasn't the child he wanted.
Therefore, even in front of him, she didn't feel she said anything wrong.
Brad's bright eyes dimmed. He grunted and sipped the porridge.
Luke frowned at the woman beside him, saying unhappily, "Since when can you make decisions for me? Can't you see me sitting here?"
"So are you going to accompany him today? " Eileen raised her head, asking drily.
Luke was stunned, looking at Brad.
The child's mouth rested on the edge of the bowl, gazing at him expectantly.
As he looked at the little face that was similar to his, Luke's heart melted. "You don’t want me to go with you? Sorry! I'm going!”
Eileen froze.
Brad, however, was already leaping for joy, cheering, "Mom, Dad is going with us!"
"Well, eat your breakfast."
She came out of her trance. He had always done things out of the ordinary. She never knew what was in his mind.
Yet it was probably the first and last birthday with his dad for Brad.
After breakfast, Brad changed his clothes. Luke was standing in front of the door with his car keys. Both of them were ready to go.
Only Eileen hadn't come out yet. She was washing the dishes in the kitchen.
However, she couldn't let the child down again, so she agreed.
The amusement park was always lively, and it happened to be a holiday. Thus, there were even more people than usual.
The car stopped at the parking lot. The three of them got out.
Eileen asked Luke for his ID card. She had t o buy tickets with it.
A sweet female voice came over, "Luke!"
Following the voice, Eileen saw that it was the woman at last night's party, Nina.
Luke was a bit surprised, narrowing his eyes. "Why are you here?"
"I came with a friend, but she left in the middle. Do you mind if I play with you? I feel so lonely here."
Nina chuckled, giving Eileen a provocative look.
Luke was her playmate who grew up with her. Of course, he wouldn’t refuse.
