When Adam walked out of the cafe, the rain was still heavy. Facing such rain, He thought of the last time Tracey was scary and shivering in the quilt.
But there was no lightning and thunder tonight, would she be afraid too?
He didn't relieve until found that no message nor calls from her. It was already late, she should have fallen asleep.
Without thunder and lightning, Tracey was not afraid at all. Listening to the sound of the rain, she fell asleep in a good mood.
In the dream, her mother smiled gently at her, and she threw herself into her mother's arms. She proudly told Venus, "Mom, I finally drove the bad woman who ruined our family away!"
She had slept soundly the whole night. It was not until the alarm clock rang that she slowly opened her eyes. It was already bright outside.
She was totally refreshed. She pushed open the window and breathed in the fresh air after the rain.
After Carmen was gone, she felt that the air in this house had become much fresher. She quickly washed up and got changed.
She was probably the only one in this house who had a good mood. Ben obviously didn't sleep well all night. He seemed to be immersed in the annoyance brought by Carmen.
Renee and Leo also felt depressed because their mother was kicked out of the home. In the morning, they were all having dark eyes.
Only Tracey walked down in high spirits. "Dad, good morning. Didn't you sleep well last night? You look a little tired."
"Yes... well, it was so raining last night and I barely fell asleep." Ben replied faintly, and Tracey didn't point it out.
"Breakfast is ready. Dad, let's go and have it." Tracey smiled and said.
"Okay." he was powerlessly answering. Ben's face was haggard a lot. He wasn’t reluctant to let Carmen go, he was just unable to figure out something.
"I haven't done enough for her? Why did she do this to me?" He was very disappointed in Carmen and felt that he had wasted too much strength and time on her.
Renee and Leo were all quiet, none of them made noise as usual. The meal was in silence. No one spoke at all, only the sound of bowls and chopsticks collided in the air.
Tracey's cell phone rang. It was Adam who had arrived. Tracey quickly put down the bowl. "Dad, I’m done."
"Let's go to the company together?"
"I'll go first. You guys take your time." Tracey left in a hurry with her laptop.
Adam's car stopped at the door. When seeing him, Tracey’s mood was even getting better.
"You seemed so happy." Adam saw her smile at a glance, just like the bright sunshine in the sky after the rain.
"Of course." Tracey jumped over with a rare joy. Adam opened his arms and hugged the little girl.
They embraced under the tree, in an atmosphere that was clean and pure, just like the sweet feeling when you were kissed by someone you liked in high school.
A water drop slid down from a leaf, right fell on Tracey's forehead. She was shocked and shrank her neck.
"It’s cold."
"There's heating in the car. Get in the car. I bought you soup buns."
