"I'm not engaged to Ruben. I was just trying to trick Ruben's dad."
For a moment, Brad’s expression lit up.
However, he looked lost again.
Eileen asked, "What's wrong?"
Brad lifted his little head and looked at her. "My dad won’t come back because you're not with him anymore."
Eileen didn't say anything.
Then Brad asked, "Mommy, why don't you want to be with my daddy? The teacher said one is a good boy if he learns from his mistakes. Besides, my dad already knows that he did wrong. Although he did wrong before, he has a change of heart, so why don't you want to give him a chance?"
Eileen rubbed his head as she said, "You are still young. There is something that you don't understand."
Brad looked obstinate. "I'm not a little kid anymore."
Eileen didn't say anything and just said," Don't worry. I'll get your dad back."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
Luke had to come back!
Eileen felt relieved to see her son look happy again.
At this time, Ruben called her. She picked up the phone, and Ruben’s low voice came over, "Eileen, my father is dead..."
In fact, she didn't regret that she agreed to pretend to get engaged to Ruben.
There were pros and cons to everything, so she couldn't get all the benefits. And she understood that.
Sherman said more cheekily, "Haven't you ever heard of that? It's a woman's right to change her mind all the time. And I'm a woman who always changes my mind!"
Kingsley looked serious. "Luke has never contacted us since he's been away for such a long time, so we don't really know where he is. Maybe someone at his company will know."
Eileen nodded, asked Sherman and Kingsley to keep an eye on Luke's whereabouts, and then went to Luke's office. She then asked Luke’s assistants, but they all said they didn't know where Luke was.
At that point, Luke's cell phone still could not be reached.
Kingsley also had people looking for Luke, but he just couldn’t get any information.
