Anyway, she was too stupid. In fact, she did it on purpose. She knew who that woman was in the afternoon, so what? She just wanted Ben to accompany her for a while. She knew that after Ben saw her, he would leave her alone in this cold and empty room. That feeling... She felt so lonely!
She would be lonely, but she was more afraid.
After Ben dialed Tracy's number, he heaved a sigh of relief. If something really happened to Tracy, Ben wouldn't let her go.
"Tracy, wait for me at home!" Ben said nervously. He didn't tell Tracy how dangerous she was now. In order to achieve his goal, Bob would do anything. Melissa was saved by him. If she didn't succeed, he wouldn't give up just because she failed once. Ben became more and more anxious.
Hearing the voice of Ben, Tracy finally felt relieved. She breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Is Melissa at your home?"
After a moment's silence, Ben hesitated whether he should tell Tracy or not. If Ben told her what happened to Brody, she would be angry.
Tracy hadn't heard Ben's words for a long time and became anxious. She asked nervously, "Ben, I asked you to pick up Melissa and Alston for safety. Alston is naughty. He came back alone. Is Melissa here?"
Noticing that something was wrong, Tracy lowered her voice and coaxed," It's okay, Tracy. Melissa is with me!"
Tracy immediately sensed that there was something wrong with Ben's voice. She shouted, "Ben, tell me where Melissa is!"
Tracy's voice became more and more anxious, "Ben, don't lie to me. Where is Melissa? Is there anything wrong with her again?"
Tracy was so anxious that she was about to cry. At the same time, Ben quickly said, "It doesn't matter. She's with Brody. Don't worry. She's very safe with him!"
Standing on the street, Tracy was completely stunned. After a long time, she said angrily, "What the hell is going on?"
Ben didn't try to hide anything. "Tracy, don't be angry. In fact, Melissa didn't go to school today..."
Tracy was even more furious. "Why don't you let Melissa go to school?"
Tracy was angry and at a loss. Noticing her excitement, Ben felt a little regretful to tell Tracy the whereabouts of Melissa so early. He should tell her after he went back!
"No, Tracy. Can you go home first?" Ben begged. .
Tracy said excitedly, "Ben, you really..."
Tracy choked with sobs and didn't know what to say. 'You bastard!' she thought. She knew clearly what he wanted to do. It was okay for her to go to the Brody's family by herself, and he even sent her to the house of Ben.
"Tracy, it's dangerous outside. You go home first and wait for me."Said Ben worriedly.
"I won't believe you anymore!" Cried Tracy.
Ben became more and more nervous. "You misunderstood. It's not what you think. Melissa went to skip classes. I just knew and didn't stop her!"
Before Ben could say anything else, Tracy had already hung up the phone. Looking at the man who didn't look well, Wendy glanced at Ben in fear. He was a little... He was deeply frustrated. Neither of them would make him worry.
"Don't be angry. I didn't mean to do that. I'm too stupid. I..."
It was all her fault. She was so stupid that she thought it was only that woman who called Ben in the afternoon. In fact, she also blamed herself for caring too much about him. She hadn't been with him for more than ten days, so she cherished the opportunity to get along with him, even for a second.
She thought so, but every time when Ben came to see her in a hurry, he would leave. Most of the time, she stayed here alone, and she almost didn't get out of bed. She stayed on the bed all day and night. At first, Ben would tie her up with a rope. He was worried that she wouldn't listen to him. But later, when he saw that she was really obedient, he untied the rope, but he still wouldn't appear again. Every time... Every time he came, he would leave.
She didn't understand why Ben hated her so much!
Ben looked down at Wendy and said helplessly, "Have a good rest. Besides, if you are hungry, get something in the fridge by yourself!"
With her arms around her knees, Wendy looked extremely helpless and pitiful. It seemed that something had taken away the heart of Ben. Tears welled up in her eyes. Wendy looked at him pitifully and said, "But... You know that I can't do it. You don't have to call my brother. In fact, you don't have to call my sister-in-law. She knows that Melissa is with my brother. She will definitely go to my brother's place! "
