Come Back to Me novel Chapter 122

Suddenly, Brody tightly held her in his arms and said in a low voice, "Will you be an obedient girl in the future?"

"Okay." With a dull look on her face, Tracy hummed in a low voice.

Seeing this, Brody didn't get angry. He held her in his arms tightly and rubbed her hair, "You should have said this earlier."

She rested her head against his strong chest, silently shedding tears.

She bit her lips and held back her sadness.

"I'm too busy. Have a rest first!"

Brody pushed her away, pressed her down on the bed and walked out of the room with a poker face.

In the following days, as she said, Tracy became more obedient. When he asked her something, she answered; when he wanted her to smile, she just pretended to be happy in front of him.

Brody, on the other hand, didn't talk much in front of her. He just forced her to smile occasionally.

She would do whatever he asked.

Time passed quickly and peacefully.

They didn't quarrel with each other anymore, but sometimes, Tracy still provoked Brody.

One time, after taking a bath in the evening, Tracy got tired and went to bed early.

Once again, Brody came home very early.

Somehow, he pounced on her.

She was half asleep with her eyes closed. She was taken aback by the sudden appearance of Brody.

But when she recognized it was him, she was relieved and kissed back without any expression.

However, even though she seemed to be enthusiastic, deep inside her heart, she still felt estranged and cold to him.

He could feel that, so he stopped, pushed her on the bed, pressed her tightly, and angrily pinched her chin. "You can refuse if you don't want to!"

A smile appeared on Tracy's expressionless face, but her smile didn't reach the bottom of her eyes.

"I'm still young. I just don't want a child!"

Tracy stared at Brody with her clear eyes. After being stunned for half a minute, Brody saw her serious expression and earnest attitude, so he believed what she said.

He preferred that Tracy kept him at a distance because she didn't want to have a baby.

Then, he rested his eyes on her in confusion. Suddenly she giggled and put her arms around his neck.

"I don't want a child. I'm too young. A normal woman will get married in her thirties."

She wrapped her arms around his neck and said seriously.

Depressed Brody was amused by her sweet look.

"Okay, not now!" He nodded and lowered his head to kiss her.

Tracy didn't avoid his kiss, but the disgust was obvious in her eyes.

It never occurred to her that Brody would agree to her request so soon.

Later, they still didn't talk much and Tracy didn't go against Brody.

She was obedient. She did whatever he asked.

Such a family was very harmonious, but there was no trace of happiness.

Sometimes, Brody got angry. Perhaps it was because the family life was too calm that he felt depressed and suffocated, or perhaps it was because of the estrangement from Tracy.

Every time he questioned her, she would always greet him with a smile on her face, and everything seemed very ordinary.

Nothing was wrong with living a quiet life.

Then, Brody stopped trying to get close to her. With a cold face, he didn't talk much to her.

They lived together like neighbors.

This was how they got along with each other. One year passed, and another year came.

She couldn't even imagine they had lived together for another year, and they had been married for more than two years.

However, as time went by, Brody was tortured for a long time. He felt that they were familiar and strange, intimate and alienated.

It was in June, and the noon was scorching. As a matter of fact, Tracy had never been used to taking a nap in summer, so she was now sitting under a tree in the garden, enjoying the cool breeze and shade.

She sat on a smooth stone bench, with two arms on her knees and her cheek pressed closely to her arms.
