Kirsten patted Eileen's hand and said consolingly, "Rest assured, that won’t happen. No matter how heartless he is, he has no right and is in no position to forbid you from visiting Brad, because you're Brad's mother.”
Eileen lifted her head and repeated," Kirsten, I know him too well."
Words eluded Kirsten.
After quite a while, she let out a long sigh." Eileen, allowing yourself to fall in love with Luke was the biggest mistake of your life."
Eileen smiled self-deprecatingly, "Tell me about it.” "Actually, your life would’ve been pretty good if it were another man that you married," Kirsten remarked. "You would've had an enjoyable romantic relationship in which a man doted on you and cherished you."
Eileen lapsed into silence.
In fact, Kirsten was right.
She had begun to have a sneaking affection for Luke at the start of her puberty, and she had been unable to develop feelings for any other man ever since.
And afterwards, by a strange quirk of fate, she had married Luke.
Everybody of her acquaintance had believed that her decision was wrong, but she had felt rapturous.
At that time, her intentions had been simple and artless. It didn't matter whether
Luke had feelings for her or not. All she wanted was for the two of them to live in the same house as a family.
But how her marriage had ended up was like a hard slap across her face.
"What a shame. You've never even dated anybody properly, and you lost everything: your love, your child, and almost your life..."
Kirsten felt more hard done by with her every word, and she began to weep again.
After crying for a few moments, she became exasperated and cursed loudly.
"I hope Luke will have a car accident and die a violent death."
On hearing that, Eileen lifted her eyes."
That's enough, Kirsten."
"Eileen, don't tell me you still care about that bastard!" Kirsten said through gritted teeth.
She had a fierce look on her face. Eileen felt that Kirsten would definitely kill her if she answered in the affirmative.
"Maybe you should wish Luke some other misfortune. He must not die. If he dies, Brad would be an orphan."
She couldn't let Brad become a parentless boy.
"Bah! What nonsense is that? I'm sure you’ll make a full recovery and have longevity!" Kirsten said. "Well, I hope he’ll develop male impotence and never have another child!"
