A Contract Marriage After a ONS novel Chapter 1355

Luke was leaning back in the chair.

"Officer, you're not responsible for the community. What if I'm a criminal?

Wouldn't it be imprudent for you to just let me go? You should release me on bail!"

The officer didn't know what Luke was up t o.

Luke could leave right away. Why did he insist on posting bail?

On the other side...

Eileen was boiling a pot of coffee.

Suddenly, her phone rang.

She picked up the phone. It was a strange

number. Her eyebrows furrowed and she asked, "Hello?"

"Is that Luke Bennington's ex-wife? Please come to the police station on Advance Road to post bail for Mr. Bennington."

Eileen was stunned. She was out of speech.

With Luke's background, would he need bail to be released?

While she was lost in thought, Brad's childish voice sounded, "Mom."

"Brad."

Immediately, she snapped back to her senses.

"Mom, please come to the police station and bail me and dad out. Otherwise, we can’t leave. I'm so thirsty. There's no water i n here."

Brad's voice was weak with a touch of

misery.

"Didn't your dad ask for a cup of water for you?"

"He did. But the officer wouldn't give us. There was only a lady at the police station. She didn't know dad. She wouldn't let us go.

Brad's voice grew more miserable.

Eileen got worried. She couldn't listen to Brad any longer. She told Brad to wait for her. Then she hung up the phone. She ran downstairs and hailed a cab.

On the way, Eileen figured Luke would be concerned about his reputation, so he didn’t ask his assistant to post bail and that was why Brad called her.

At the police station...
