Luke glanced at Eileen, then casually picked up his suit in one hand and Brad in the other as he intended to leave.
Suddenly there was a loud bang.
Eileen moved to the window promptly.
A big tree was blown down in the strong wind and crushed on a limousine.
Obviously, the typhoon was coming.
And the windows clattered as if they were going to shatter the next moment.
Eileen put the table against the windows.
Luke called Brandy, 'I'll send you an address. Come pick me up."
Brandy replied, "Mr. Bennington, I just can't make it right now. With a whole gale, traffic control has begun."
Luke frowned at this.
"I really couldn't make it. The water on the road is so deep that some shops have been flooded." Brandy explained hurriedly.
"Well, I see."
Luke hung up.
At the same time, Brad woke up and rubbed his eyes, "We're not leaving, are we, Dad?"
"Uh, yeah, I guess so."
"So, when do we leave?" Brad asked cautiously.
Luke answered, "That hasn't been decided yet."
For an instant, Brad was so enthused that h e almost danced.
'I can finally stay with Mom!' Brad thought.
Eileen was also happy inside. For her, spending a little more time with Brad was very satisfying.
The storm became more and more terrible.
Therefore, they barricaded the doors and windows.
"Are you sleepy?" Eileen asked Brad.
Brad nodded.
Then, Eileen made the bed and lay there with Brad without saying a word to Luke the whole time, feeling there was no need t o.
From the moment of the divorce, she told herself that whatever he did in the future was none of her business.
Brandy answered gingerly, "The typhoon today is worse than yesterday, and I can't get out at all. I'm really sorry for that, Mr. Bennington."
Luke got angry and hung up without saying a word.
Then, Eileen came in with two glasses of milk.
She moved towards the bed to wake Brad u p and said tenderly, "You have to wake up now, baby. Get up and wash up for breakfast."
Brad did what Eileen told him.
When he came out of the bathroom, Eileen dished up a superb breakfast.
She prepared bacon, eggs, and toast.
Brad clapped excitedly, "Toast!"
Eileen broke into a smile, "You little gluttonous cat."
Brad seemed to think of something and glanced at Luke on the sofa, "Aren't you hungry, Dad?"
Luke glanced at his stomach, and his throat adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.
Before he replied, Eileen spoke first, "He is
not hungry."
