"Tina! Are you okay?" Neymar held Tina's hand, asking in distress.
"I'm fine." Tina shook her head.
"Who are you?" Carmen slowly got up from the ground, glanced coldly at this man who appeared gentle while behaved rudely just now.
Neymar held Tina, glared at Carmen coldly too. "I'm her husband. If you dare to touch my wife again, I bet you won't be able to go out of this house!"
Tracey was also scared by Neymar’s change. He was obviously so gentle and warm a few moments ago, instantly; he became tough like this.
Also, Tracey had totally given up on the idea that he was hired by Tina for avenging Ben. According to his determined eyes when he protected Tina, they looked the same as Adam's when he was protecting Tracey.
Nobody was allowed to touch the woman he loved. Otherwise, he may make he/she regret living in this world.
"Husband...?" Carmen was stunned. It seemed that she wasn' t expecting their relationship at all. She almost confirmed that Tina was back for Ben.
However, compare with Ben, Neymar was not losing a little no matter on the figure or on temperament.
For Carmen, it was certainly so sad as she treated Tina as her only opponent, while Tina just took Carmen as nothing.
"Mr. Hawkins, auntie, I'm so sorry to bring you trouble." Tracey apologized.
"President Xia, it seems that you have a lot of family affairs to deal with. I'd better not disturb, and I am sorry for missing your treat." Tina got up with her bag. Her education did not allow her to be a shrew like Carmen, never ever possible.
Tina was especially here for having dinner with Tracey, now the opportunity had been ruined.
"Auntie, well, the meal is ready. Would you like to finish it first?" Tracey hurriedly tried to persuade Tina to stay.
"No, thanks. I think we should save it until someday we are all available. You have things to deal with, and we’d better leave.” Tina said.
"Sorry to disturb you, President Xia." Neymar walked away with Tina in his arms, and Tracey walked out with them to the car.
"Auntie, are you really going to leave tomorrow?" Tracey saw the determination in Tina's eyes. She had always known that her mother was a strong woman.
Once she made a decision, no one could change it. That was what happened in the past.
"Yes." Tina replied flatly.
"But I don't want you to go. I'll go to the States to visit you later, okay?" Tracey took her hand. It was so hard to find her lost mother back, Tracey couldn't bear another separation.
"... Okay." Tina did not notice that her voice sounded bitter. She could not refuse Tracey's request. She knew that she may never meet Tracey again if she left today.
"Well, let's go. Tracey, thank you for your hospitality." Neymar said.
Tina was about to turn around and get in the car, but was suddenly to be hugged by Tracey from behind. "Aunt... no, mom, I know it's you!
Although I don't know for what reason you left me for so many years, I believe that no mother does not love her child. I don't believe that you are such a ruthless woman. You must have difficulties.
I won't ask if you don't want to tell me. I just want to tell you that I hope you can be happy. No matter who he is, as long as he can make you happy, it will be fine."
Tina's eyes were filled with tears, and her body was shaking. She had thought that her image in Tracey's heart became terrible, as how many children would forgive their mother if they were abandoned?
However, Tracey didn't make any blames, and Tina felt even more guilty and heartache. She really wanted to turn around to hug her daughter, but she couldn't and wouldn't dare to do so.
"I know maybe we won’t meet again. If we can meet in the future, you won't leave so hurriedly nor deny me.
I know it was because maybe I would bring you trouble. But this time, you came back for letting me know you're still alive; I am already very happy.
