It was indeed a rare thing for someone like him to cheekily endure being scolded by others.
He had also become a little childish.
Moreover, he came to her place more frequently than before and his behavior was different from before. For example, his expression and manner were not as cold as before.
But just now, she felt that his manner had changed again.
He became polite and alienated. His aura had a faint and unspeakable sense of alienation. He was neither cold, nor childish. He was just alienated.
Something may have happened to him so his manner had changed.
But no matter what had happened, it was none of her business.
She and he had divorced so there was no relationship between them. No matter what he became, it was none of her business.
Back at the company, Luke began to work seriously and carefully.
He was busy working until evening.
He drove back to the Bennington family's villa. The servants were all quiet, making n o sounds.
People who had never experienced liveliness never found it attractive.
But after experiencing liveliness, one returned to loneliness, which would bring one a sense of unspeakable emptiness.
Usually there was Brad at the villa.
Although he was a child, he made Luke feel lively when he stayed at the villa.
The villa was too depressing and eerie.
Almost all the members of the Bennington family had died, whose photos were displayed in the living room.
Luke was the only one left alive. So, the atmosphere at the villa was very depressing.
Back in his room, he didn't feel sleepy.
No woman had ever stepped into the room. Even on Luke and Eileen's wedding day, it served as a wedding room only for one night.
Lying on the bed, he kept tossing and turning. He couldn't fall asleep. After smoking a cigarette, he left his room, got into the car and went for a drive.
