Ray was twelve years old and was 1.7 meter tall. His face was no longer childish, but mature which was inconsistent with his age. Maybe it was because of the environment and family!
Ray didn't talk much. He lived in the school and seldom came back. If you weren't Alice, he wouldn't have come back this week. Ray's silence made Brody think that there was a gap between them!
"Dad, who is he?" Melissa grabbed the trouser legs and said suddenly.
Brody came to his senses and smiled, "Call me brother!"
Melissa nodded and shouted at Ray, "Brother..."
When her voice rang out, Ray was stunned for a moment before he replied indifferently. There was no expression on his face.
"What about her? She's so young. I'll call her sister!" Melissa looked at Alice and said.
Looking at Melissa, Alice smiled bitterly. Was she young?
"Sister, you're so small. I've told you that you're thin, not small!"
Alice smiled bitterly again after hearing Melissa's words. She came to herself and said, "It's more like you call me aunt!" Alice said with self mockery.
"Brother. Let dad take us there! " Melissa said, blinking her big eyes.
Brody pulled Melissa back and said, "No, I'm going to take the exam!"
Feeling wronged, Ray glanced at Melissa, who was about to cry, and said, "Uncle, let me take her to play!"
Hearing that, Melissa was so happy that her eyes were about to glow. She clapped her hands and looked at Ray happily. "Okay, okay, I have another brother!"
Ray walked up to her and took her hand. He took a last look at Brody as a greeting. Then Melissa happily let Ray hold her hand and said while walking, "Brother, where are you taking Melissa to play? Is there any place daddy can take Melissa to have fun? "
Ray didn't answer, but watched the backs of the two helplessly. Behind him, Alice's expression suddenly changed. She remembered that the door was opened for no reason that day, and she disappeared. In fact, when Bob found that she was missing that day, she was not very anxious, but angry!
Bob firmly told her that it was impossible for Melissa to walk out alone, so someone must have come here, and his intelligence must be not simple. Looking at the two of them, she seemed to understand. The person who had been there should be Brody!
"Wait!" Alice suddenly came to her senses.
Ray turned his head and looked at Alice unhappily. "Sister, we're going to play. Let's talk about it when we come back tonight!"
Seeing the indifferent look on Ray's face, Alice felt a little disappointed. With a stern look on his face, Brody said to Ray, "It's not easy for your sister to come here. You have to accompany her and play with her. You don't have to go out! "
Ray was expressionless, but Melissa suddenly held his hand and said," It's okay at home. There are many good things in that room. Brother, take Melissa to play!"
Her clear eyes glittered, and Brody immediately saw through her pure mind. Melissa really had a plan on the gem.
Alice looked at Brody with a bitter smile and said, "You can leave now!"
Brody sighed slightly and said, "Have a good rest!"
He did have something to do, so he only glanced at Ray with a complicated look. He couldn't tell Ray now. In fact, Alice, who was thin and pale, didn't have much time left.
"Bye, dad!" Melissa said, shaking her little hands.
"Okay, see you later!" Brody took her hand and kissed Melissa.
He found that he liked this child more and more. He really doubted that he would not be willing to give the child back to Tracy in the future!
