Come Back to Me novel Chapter 40

Perhaps, he had fallen in love with her since then.

Nothing could save him.

"It's none of my business..."

Tracy turned her head so as to avoid eye contact with Ben.

She stared at the glass table and murmured.

She couldn't tell Ben that she wanted to vent her anger on Brody.

Because she didn't like the arrogant face.

"Ben, do you know something?"

Suddenly, Tracy turned around and asked, but her eyes met those of doubt.

She was stunned, and her heart beat with fear by his eyes.

She blushed slightly.

"Yes..."

Caught off guard, Tracy met Ben's gaze. Ben suddenly uttered a "H'm".

Then he turned his head and stared at the wine glass in his hand.

There was an awkward silence in the room.

And it was Tracy who broke the silence first. "You must know something, right? Otherwise, how could you show up here on time?"

She knew that if she did not speak first, the quiet Ben would not open his mouth.

"That old woman is Charlie's mother."

Ben glanced at Tracy and said casually.

"Pu -"

The wine that Tracy had just tasted was all spat out by the words of Ben.

The wine splashed on her chest and the table.

"Ahem!"

Tracy coughed violently and tears filled her eyes because of choking.

Frowning, Ben reached out his big warm hand to pat her back gently.

"Slow down..."

Ben said as he patted her on the back.

Tracy took a deep breath and wiped the tears off the corner of her eyes. She rolled her eyes at rod and snapped, "it's all because of you. You said 'the mother of the Charlie'

The fact that the old lady was the mother of Charlie astonished Tracy.

All in all, she was that rogue's mother.

No wonder!

Charlie said to her in a serious manner.

"Mother? Charlie's mother was dying? Didn't this woman have an heir? What about Charlie's father? "

Tracy looked at Ben with confusion.

Quietly looking at her eager to know the answer, Ben said indifferently: "the father of Charlie is still alive."

Ben said with a teasing smile.

"What the hell is going on? The old lady's husband is still alive, and he has more than one child..."

At the mention of Charlie, she thought of Elsa all of a sudden.

There was no exception.

"Tracy, don't think too much. You're involved in it. It's very simple. Even if this woman's son and husband are alive, they have the right to deal with the property under their own name according to their own will."

Rushton looked at her with a serious face and patiently explained the situation to her.

Tracy nodded and said, "it's a matter of law, but it's obviously against human's logic. I have a son and a family. Why do they have to hold a drinking competition for no reason and let strangers grab the fortune from them?"

That was not like the usual people. No one was so squeamish.

Tracy was even more confused.

To her surprise, Ben was still sitting there.

He looked quite composed.

He was calm, but she was eager to know.

"Ben, can you stop playing tricks and tell me the truth?"

Tracy couldn't help but entreat.

She only knew that it was difficult to dig out the news from Ben.

He often made her angry.

"Silly girl, can't you guess it yourself? She is stepmother. "

Ben looked at the impatient Tracy.

Tracy asked, looking at Ben with her eyes wide open.

stepmother?

No wonder the XS group would hold the wine competition for her.

Ben had no choice.

"Why are you so surprised?"

Tracy nodded and said, "then you must know there is something fishy behind the game."

She looked at Ben and asked him for a certain answer.

She was sure that Ben must know about it.

She got to know the ins and outs of the whole event.

However, to her surprise——

"I don't know."

With her eyes wide open, Tracy asked, "how could that be possible? How could you not know her motive? "

Ben looked at her seriously and shook his head. "I'm telling the truth. There's no conspiracy at all. The money is earned by the old lady without payment in that wine contest. I'm really hungry. No conspiracy."
