Brody stared at her face with his black eyes. There was a deep sense of loss in his eyes because of Tracy's response
He found that after a long time, Tracy was always calm when talking to him, and she even disdained to quarrel with him, let alone make a scene.
He didn't think the peace between them was a luxury. However, he didn't find that he was happy at all for the well behaved Tracy. He had a strong feeling of worry about losing Tracy, her reactions, her words and behaviors.
So, he hated the way Tracy was now. He would rather see her jump up from the bed and yell at him as she had done before.
He also hoped so. Worrying about gains and losses was only his own worries
"Forget it. I am going to sleep now!"
After saying that, Tracy lay on the bed in a calm manner, showing no sign of getting angry, let alone yelling at him, Tracy lay on the bed silently, remaining motionless. After a long time, when she thought she was going to sleep, something heavy pressed her waist.
She frowned, and was completely awaken by the noise. When she opened her eyes, she found that Brody had already been in bed.
Brody supported his head with one hand, leaned sideways, and stared intently at her bewildered and somewhat restless face.
Being stared at by Brody for a moment, Tracy felt a little uneasy. Subconsciously, she turned her head, avoiding eye contact with him.
There was always a feeling of confusion that could not be expelled from his heart, maybe because of Alice, or anything else.
"I am going to sleep!" She felt uncomfortable being stared at by him. She said irritably and closed her eyes.
Brody didn't respond, still staring at her. What he said next made her wide awake.
"For what I said today, I am not joking with you."
Tracy was stunned. She raised her head and looked at him with wide eyes.
what?
"Baby!"
Brody reminded her kindly, but his face was still calm.
Tracy was startled and retreated in panic. "No, I don't want to..."
She was furious and said no.
His face became more unfathomable. He didn't show any signs of anger, but his black eyes were still staring at her.
"I won't agree it..." Sensing his long stare, Tracy was flustered. Noticing that he remained silent, she added.
To Tracy's surprise, just as she refused, the girl in her dream appeared again -- Alice.
'Why? Why do I think of Alice at this time?'.
'A woman just appeared in my house for no reason. In that case, I won't have his child.'
There was no room for negotiation.
Looking at the agitated Tracy, Brody sighed. He frowned and held back the emotions. The fear of losing her grew stronger in his heart. He realized that although she was by his side, he didn't feel her.
She wouldn't get angry. She just wanted to be his wife.
But the more Tracy tried to avoid it, the more worried he was, especially when Tracy was rejecting to have his child.
"It's not up to you. I have been tolerant with you for two years, so..."
Although Brody was bossy and unyielding this time, he was unusually calm,.
"I don't want to..." Tracy said with determination.
Without saying anything, Brody pulled her hands from the quilt.
For a moment, Tracy was startled, but rain didn't seem to be angry, so she just let him pull her hands out.
The next second, he forcibly stuffed a gem into her palm. That gem was very familiar -- more than familiar!
It was the last time. Tracy tried her best to suppress a sense of resentment and look at him calmly.
"What are you doing?"
"This is for you," said Brody with a serious face
Tracy was stunned. The beam of light from the gem made her face look more unreadable.
