Chapter 1123 Family Conflict


    Luke did not know how to solve that problem. He hoped that his children would eventually ept the


    fact that their mother had lost their memories and changed her personality.


    Two years had passed. The three children continued to mature, but they could not ept Bianca into


    their lives.

    Bianca sniffled and turned her head away. "I don''t want to say. If they can''t ept me for who I am, I


    might as well leave." "Bea..." Luke''s voice became low.


    Bianca did not say anything.


    "What happened when you picked Tommy up from school?" He asked.


    Bianca continued to shed her tears. When she thought that she had cried enough, she leaned on his


    shoulder and aired her grievances. "I''m so tired, Luke. Why is Tommy so mean to me when I''ve done


    so much for him? I really can''t remember how I used to be. Should I look for Ms. Tia again? Maybe she


    can help me recover my memories."


    Luke''s expression turned as cold as ice when Bianca mentioned Tia and her memories.


    He held Bianca''s shoulders and said, "The boy is still young, and he doesn''t understand what


    happened. Don''t be too caught up with your past, Bea. I''ll go talk to him, and things will be better."


    Bianca looked at him with tears in her eyes. "Will things really be better?" "Mm. Don''t overthink it.


    Go wash your face and eat your dinner/’ Luke said.


    Bianca nodded and reluctantly stepped away from his shoulder. She was satisfied that he would be


    talking to the childrenter.


    One had to know that Luke had never spoken up for her before.


    Bianca went into the bathroom.


    Luke stood up and nced at his wet shoulder. He left the bedroom and went to Tommy''s bedroom.


    Tommy was doing his homework.


    "Are you done yet?" Luke said.


    Tommy lifted his head and smiled at his father. "I''m almost done, Daddy, but I need help with these two


    math questions..."


    Luke sat down beside him and said, "Show me and I''ll help you."


    Tommy pointed at the questions on his workbook, and Luke solved them in no time.


    After Tommy finished his homework, he handed the workbook to Luke." Please check my work,


    Daddy."


    Luke checked that Tommy had finished his work and signed his initials on thest page.


    Tommy cheered happily. Once he was done with homework, he could go and watch cartoons. He was


    about to leave the room when Luke grabbed his hand. "Daddy?"


    Luke looked at Tommy with a serious expression and said, "Stay with me for a while. I want to talk to


    you."


    Tommy nodded and sat back down. "What do you want to talk about, Daddy?"


    Luke held his little hand and said, "Your Mommy is unhappy today. Do you know why?" "I don’t know."


    Tommy shook his head in confusion. "Mommy is usually unhappy anyway. You''ll just have to get used


    to it."


    Luke frowned when he saw Tommy''s innocent expression. "She''s unhappy because you''ve done


    something bad to her, Tommy."


    Tommy knew what he wanted to say and instantly pouted. "I didn''t do anything to her."


    Tommy did not want to take the me. He said, "I only asked her why Uncle Sean didn''t pick me up


    today, but she told me that I shouldn''t trouble Uncle Sean too much. Mommy troubles Uncle Sean all


    the time, isn''t it?"


    Luke sighed. He knew that Bianca was unhappy not because of what transpired today, but because of


    the chronicmunication problem between her and her children.


    "I know you''re a good boy, Tommy, and you should be more understanding about your mother. She''s


    forgotten about everything in her past," he continued.


    Tommy pouted, stood up, and said angrily, "I didn''t do anything wrong, Daddy. Why should I be


    understanding to her when she doesn''t attempt to understand me? She''s an adult while Lanie, Rainie,


    and me are children. Why are you on Mommy''s side? You''re a baddie, just like her! Give my Mommy


    back to me!"


    Luke was helpless when Tommy started crying.


    "Listen to me, Tommy!" He said.


    "I listen to you all the time, Daddy. You always tell me that I have to make sense whenever I speak. I''m


    making sense now, but you''re not making sense. I don''t want to talk to you anymore, you baddie!"


    Tommy began to bawl after he said that.


    Rainie was next door and heard themotion. She immediately came over and saw the father and


    son in a standoff. "Daddy, why is Tommy crying?" She asked.


    She knew that Tommy hardly cried, and her heart wrenched when she saw Tommy being so sad.


    "Daddy is a baddie!" Tommyined to his elder sister.


    Luke stood there helplessly, looking at the two children in the face of Tommy''s usation.


    "Don''t cry, Tommy." Rainie tried tofort her younger brother.


    Tommy did not stop bawling.


    "How about you leave the room for now, Daddy? I''ll try to calm Tommy down," Rainie said.


    "Mm." Luke rarely dealt with situations like this. He could only leave the room.


    After Luke left, Tommy continued to bawl. It took Rainie a long time to calm him down slightly.


    "Daddy is a baddie. He''s been brainwashed!" Tommyined to Rainie.


    "What happened to Daddy?" Rainie held Tommy''s hand and sat on the chair.


    Tommy told his elder sister what happened earlier that day. "Rainie, don''t you think that the woman


    who''s pretending to be our Mommy is brainwashing Daddy?" He said worriedly.


    "There''s no such thing. Don''t overthink it. Daddy is doing so to preserve the harmony in the family. Do


    you know what ''harmony1 means?" Rainie had matured a lot ever since Bianca went missing.


    "I know. Great-Grandpa always talks about harmony in the family." Tommy nodded.


    "Daddy is usually tired from work, so he doesn''t want us to cause trouble within the family because of


    this. Do you understand?" Rainie asked.


    Tommy did not quite understand it, though he bore a grudge against Luke for being on the woman''s


    side.


    Suddenly, he had an idea.


    When the butler called the children downstairs for dinner, Tommy wiped his tears and went downstairs


    with Rainie as though nothing happened.


    Luke could see that Tommy’s eyes were red and puffy. He felt guilty about what he said earlier.


    Instead of clinging to his father, Tommy sat in his chair and ate his meal quietly.


    After dinner, Tommy did not watch his favorite cartoons. Instead, he went upstairs and closed the


    bedroom door.
