"Dad, this is what I should do. After all, Aunt Liu has been in the family for so many years. She has also taken care of me since I was a child. I should send her off. At least I should give her an umbrella."
Tracey's words were very interesting. Only those who knew the hardship she had suffered previously would know the meaning of her words.
"Alright. Go ahead. I thought Leo would send her to the hotel. I scolded them because I wanted them to stop asking me to let her stay. I never said that I didn't allow them to send her off.
It's so late now and it's raining heavily outside. Who will take the responsibility if something bad happens to Carmen?" Ben might seem strict but he was still a good person at heart.
Fortunately, Carmen made a serious mistake this time. She might be able to get Ben to change his mind if she made other mistakes.
Tracey was glad that she did not tell Ben what Carmen had done in the past as soon as she came back. Even if Ben believed her, Carmen would find a way to make up for it gradually.
Because of Tracey, it would be hard for Carmen to return to the Xia family again.
"Alright, Dad. I'll go first. Give me your car keys. I'll send her to the hotel later." "Okay. Go ahead." Ben handed the keys to Tracey and she left with an umbrella.
Carmen dragged her suitcase and walked in the heavy rain alone. She turned to look at the place where she had lived for so many years.
She was full of yearning when she came here. She was like Cinderella who married the prince. She no longer had to be trapped by her life and she could have everything without doing anything.
Renee and Leo followed her, tugged at her skirt and asking excitedly at that time, "Mom, is that our home?"
"Yes, that's our home. Both of you will live there in the future." Carmen said as she touched Renee and Leo’s heads.
"Wow, our home is so beautiful. It is like a castle from a fairy tale. Mom, can I stay here for the rest of my life?"
"Of course. You call him Dad in the future. This is our home."
"Okay." Leo and Renee ran towards the house happily.
It was a stark contrast between the grand occasion when she first came and the solitary departure when she left in the heavy rain at the moment.
It was more difficult for Carmen to call a taxi because she was in the villa area. Carmen cursed Ben's ruthlessness in her heart as she pulled her arms to herself.
She shouldn't have been rash just now and she should have worn more clothes. She was cold and miserable at the moment. Her body shivered when the wind blew.
There was not even a shelter to hide from the rain in the villa area. Carmen knew that she had to leave quickly and find a place to stay temporarily.
She heard the sound of the horn and the headlights of a car shone behind her. Carmen looked back and her eyes were dazzled by the lights.
She covered her eyes with her hand and saw that it was Ben's car through the gap between her fingers. Her anger disappeared instantly as she thought that Ben came to pick her up.
The scene from an idol drama appeared in her mind. The heroine left angrily and the male protagonist drove to look for her.
Carmen thought that as long as Ben came to find her, she would let bygones be bygones and they would get back together.
