Tracey did not interrupt him, she just listened to the beginning of a long story but her heart had already gone through ups and downs.
As a woman, she could feel her mother's pain. A few days ago, she could not move on the ground but shouted "Brother Adam, helped me..." helplessly.
Tracey had good luck and Adam stopped all her misfortune. But Adam's mom was not the same lucky to be saved. That was why Adam hated Old Master Sheng so much.
Although Old Master Sheng had a bad temper and forced Adam to marry another woman, Tracey could still feel old master’s love for his son.
With such an unforgivable past, no matter what he made up for Adam, he would not accept his father in his life.
In this world, all love and hatred happened for a reason. The love of Old Master Sheng was too selfish and he finally destroyed a budding flower.
For avoiding the tragedy happened again, Adam chose to guard Tracey silently instead of possessing her.
"Didn't your mother report the bullies to the old master?" Tracey asked carefully.
"Do you think my mom cared about that man's protection? No. She knew the principal wife was just envious.
Old master got married to this woman not because of love, and not until getting old did the old man know what was love.
Although the principal wife had spent her life accompanying the old master, she was never loved by him. Therefore, when the old man exposed his strong love for my mother, hatred twisted the principal wife' s heart, while my mom was in desperation.
She stopped committing suicide, but she would never forgive the old master, not mention to fall in love with him. No love, no jealousy, she naturally not asked for his protection.
Even though my mother didn't ask for protection, the principal wife was smart and didn’t torture her hard. She just did it frequently with some dirty tricks.
Later, I was born. Although I was not the girl that the old master wanted, as long as seeing my mom delivered a baby, he was happy.
He planned to divorce the principal wife and made my mom legal. However, my mom refused with death threatening.
She had been pursuing freedom all her life, let alone her marriage. She would never marry a man she didn't love.
She would not get married, nor would agree to the unreasonable and rude request of the old master. He thought that she had given birth to me and the child would bound a mother up.
He slowly gave her some freedom, days seemed to be in peace at that time, but the most miserable part was coming in silence. My mom was dead when I was six.
The only thing she left for me was her painting and a necklace representing her identity.
I finally understood why she corrected me immediately after I made a little mistake. She would tell me a lot of life philosophy at my young age when I was just sensible.
And why she was unwilling to be that man’s legal wife. She lived just because of me and had nothing to do with the Sheng family.
She said that when she dies, half of her ashes should be scattered in China's mountains and lakes, and the other half will be taken back to the United States. She must not be buried with the people of the Sheng family..."
As Adam said this, Tracey felt a warm liquid dripping down from his back neck. He cried.
As a child, he was forced to accept his mother's death. Tracey could fully understand this kind of feeling as she had a similar experience.
She turned over to hugged Adam. She held his waist gently, comforting him only in this way.
