'Climbing a mountain?'
Melissa then said excitedly, "Dad, Dad, it must be fun to climb the mountain. And tomorrow is Saturday. We don't have to play in secret. It's okay for mom to find out. Tomorrow even mom will take us to climb the mountain, okay?"
Looking at Melissa's pleading face, Brody couldn't bear to refuse. He turned his head to look at Alston, who was sitting at the back, and asked for advice, "Are you going? Alston! "
Alston nodded expressionlessly. Brody frowned. It seemed that he had never seen him smile before. When he saw Alston nod, he was so happy that he almost danced with his hands. Seeing that, he was about to agree, but soon he began to hesitate.
A three or four years old child climbing a mountain?
"I don't care. I want to compete with father."
Looking at Melissa with his black eyes, he swore that it was the first time that he was so indecisive. Looking at Melissa's big eyes with desire, he could not bear to refuse. But when he thought of the hard won happiness now, he lost the sense of security for the first time.
Melissa kept urging, "Dad, promise me. There are many children climbing mountains there. If you don't believe me, you can ask my brother!"
"How do you know there is a child climbing the mountain?" Brody frowned.
Melissa said without hesitation, "Dad is so annoying. How could there not be? Adults can climb mountains, so can children! "
Looking at the car attentively, Brody said in a low voice, "Okay, we can go, but I have to make father wake up. I haven't had a good rest these days. It's not easy to have a weekend. Let father sleep enough!"
Seeing that he agreed, Melissa was overjoyed. "Okay!"
Brody smiled and added, "Well, I'm too tired these days. Don't disturb me. I'll come to you when I wake up! If you break the rules, you can't climb the mountain. "
Melissa blinked her big innocent eyes and looked at Brody happily, but she didn't realize his trick.
This trick was a little childish, but in the early morning, she had been overwhelmed by excitement. How could she realize Brody's trick?
In the end, she got up early in the morning happily and changed into the new clothes that Tracy bought for her a few days ago. Then she sat on the sofa and waited anxiously, while Brody slept soundly in the bedroom.
During this period, Melissa wanted to run into the room to call Brody for several times, but when she thought that if she called Brody, she would break the rules. In the end, she still waited, but the time was ten o'clock. She was so pure that she only thought that her father would wake up sooner or later.
If it weren't for Tracy, he would have pretended to be asleep until the afternoon.
"Daddy is bad. I hate him... You broke your promise! " Melissa suddenly sat on the ground, kicking her legs. Her legs were crying.
Because of Alston's reminder, Melissa recalled the whole thing and finally realized that Brody was lying to her.
Seeing that Melissa was sitting on the ground, he was a little flustered. He sat on the sofa and slightly bent down. He stretched out his arms to pull her up, but Melissa moved her body to prevent him from touching her.
With a troubled look on his face, Brody said, "Melissa, get up first. We'll discuss it later!"
Melissa didn't seem to hear what Brody said. She kept crying and cried louder and louder, as if she was deliberately trying to let Tracy hear it. In a hurry, Brody stood up and pulled her up from the ground. He looked at her seriously and said, "It's autumn now. How can you climb mountains?"
Brody frowned more tightly. He didn't know much about climbing. He didn't take Melissa to climb the mountain at all. Ben was so careful that he wouldn't take such a young child to climb the mountain, either.
