When Tracy rushed back home, Ben was reading a magazine leisurely on the sofa. Her face stiffened and she forced her tears back. When she passed by him, she didn't stop, just when she thought he wouldn't care about her. His slightly sarcastic voice came from behind her, "The cat was caught so soon, and it was still so late to arrange for Alston and Melissa. In this case, in fact, I should send them to school."
Suppressing her surging emotions, Tracy pretended to be angry and glared at him. "But don't forget that you are scolding Melissa and favoring Alston. She is still angry with you."
Ben was speechless. His dark eyes quietly locked on Tracy's face, which was still covered with tears. Tracy also looked at him indignantly. Neither of them spoke. Ben looked very calm, but Tracy's heart was in a mess.
'You bastard! Brody! Forget it. I didn't expect that when I came back home, Ben would hit me when I was down.'
After a few seconds, a smile appeared on the corners of Ben's mouth. He looked at her calmly and said with a smile, "it has nothing to do with Melissa. She is just a child. She doesn't know what hatred is. She will be happy when I take her to play after school. But someone... "
After a pause, the anger in Tracy's beautiful eyes was obvious, and the banter in her eyes deepened. Ben continued leisurely, "Well, someone is so petty that she doesn't even care about what others say that makes her unhappy."
Tracy was so angry that she glared at him with righteous indignation. She wished she could go to tear Ben up now. Of course, she knew what he meant. She didn't care if she was angry outside, but she had to meet him when she came back.
This evil man, Tracy glared at the smiling face of Ben, who was gradually standing at the banquet, and finally rushed to him in anger. She had never seen Ben so happy before. Even when she was in danger four years ago, he was not as happy as he was now. He took pleasure in her misfortune. He had thought that he was a real gentleman, different from Brody, but now it seemed that they were really the same person. They were as dark as crows in the world.
Seeing that Tracy was really angry and pounced on him, Ben didn't dodge at all. He just smiled, but his smile irritated Tracy even more. Tracy pounced over and grabbed the magazine in his hand. Her small hand was just raised, and she threw it away angrily without hesitation.
"Crack -" The crisp sound resounded through the whole living room.
Ben held Tracy in her arms and stroked her head with one hand. His face was entangled. When did this woman become so violent? Tracy grabbed him and raised her hand with the book again. Ben grasped her wrist in a slight panic and scolded coldly, "Don't be naughty..."
He began to feel dizzy after being hit by her, let alone continue to hit the book. He thought that if Tracy hit him again, he might lose his life.
Tracy stopped and leaned on him, glaring at him angrily. The corners of Ben's mouth twitched, and finally he smiled helplessly.
"Do you really want my life?" Looking at her angry face, Ben smiled silently, Tracy looked up at him in disappointment, and the expression on Ben's face suddenly turned to be as serious as usual. He looked at her calmly and said, "You met him?" This time, he became serious and didn't seem to be joking at all.
Biting her lips, Tracy got off his legs and sat beside Ben weakly. She said helplessly, "I don't know..."
Ben looked at her with amusement and asked, "Do you want to see her or not?"
"Yes. He seems to be dying..." Tracy took off her shoes, lifted her legs and curled up on the sofa with her arms around her knees. Ben looked at her with a frown. Apparently, he didn't understand what Tracy meant.
Biting her lips tightly and enduring the tears in her eyes, Tracy muttered, "I thought it would be all right... But I don't know... Why is he there? How can he go shopping? " The scene that they bumped into each other came to Tracy's mind. She really couldn't understand why a man like Brody would go shopping. If they met somewhere else Maybe she also acquiesced in this kind of coincidence, but Brody, a man, went shopping... She didn't expect to meet him in the mall so soon.
Ben looked at her side face for a while and said, "Does he know that Alston and Melissa went to school?"
