She looked upset hearing what he said.
She appeared firm once again when she recalled the three bodies and looked at Baron in embarrassment, “I just don’t want you to breach the law for me.”
Baron knew Tracy was kind-hearted, so he just said “I got it” only.
He drove to the Blue Sky Kindergarten. Both of them kept silent along the way.
Baron didn’t know what to say, while Tracy thought she hurt him vocally and felt guilty. She wanted to apologize to him but didn’t know how.
However, the couple was amused by Lara who was picked up by them.
Lara said elatedly after Tracy and she came back to the Perry Courtyard, “Granny, dad drove me back home again!”
Sherry got the word “again” from Lara precisely, her face turned glum at once and queried Tracy, “You and Baron picked Lara up these days?”
Tracy frowned and answered unhappily, “Mom, he just drove us from work to home. Moreover, he is Lara’s dad, so is anything wrong?”
“Anything wrong?”
Sherry shouted, “You are now the executive of Samho Group. Lots of young gentlemen dream of marrying you. How can you get married if you waste your life on him?”
Tracy knew Sherry disliked him, so she ignored her, taking Lara’s hand and going upstairs.
“Mom, I am home!” Yuri arrived home from work as well.
Hardly had she come in when she saw Sherry’s glum face and asked in a smile, “Mom, who offended you this time?”
Sherry glared at Yuri angrily, “Your damn sister! What was she thinking? How come she was willing to let Baron pick her daughter up. You see, will those snobs marry her if they spot this scene?”
Tracy eventually realized what happened and the day when Camel and Edward revered Baron at the Spring Garden Restaurant. She couldn’t help to give a bitter smile, “Mom, don’t worry too much about sister. Brother-in-law isn’t the man you saw before.”
“Me? Worry too much? Wait, how did you call that garbage?” Sherry widened her eyes angrily.
Tracy didn’t realize her mistakes, “Brother-in-law!”
“What’s wrong with you? Your sister allows him to pick them up. Now even you begin to call him so? You nearly piss me off. Is that what you want?” Sherry became mad.
“Mom!”
Tracy hurried to grab Sherry’s shoulders and pinched, begging for her forgiveness, “Mom, don’t judge a person too early. Baron was garbage five years ago, but who can expect him to be the same five years later?”
“Given that sister doesn’t want to get married, how about giving them enough time. If he does be garbage like before, my sister will be bound to dump him without your knowledge. But if he can be different? One day he will become the precious son-in-law, right?”
Tracy’s words stopped Sherry’s fastidiousness. Yet she replied impatiently, “How tricky you are. Anyone but him can marry my daughter. I warn you, you don’t call him brother-in-law again!”
“Fine! I got it, mom. I am starving to death. Can we have meals now?” Tracy said merrily.
“I am so ‘unfortunate’ to meet you, two daughters,” Sherry said before turning around toward the kitchen.
Lara in the upstairs cried and looked at Tracy, “Mom, why is granny mad at dad? I want dad to live with us, and hug me while telling a lot of stories for me.”
Hearing Lara’s words, Tracy felt upset. Sherry urged her to divorce Baron, but he didn’t live with them, so she was responsible for the event.
She didn’t loathe Baron yet. Instead, she had a crumble on him, but she couldn’t overcome her concern if they were to live together.
“Take it easy, Lara. We will one day live with dad.” Tracy helped wipe Lara’s tears off and said softly.
“Really?” Lara’s eyes sparkled with a sense of excitement.
Tracy at first refused to lie to her, but nodded after hesitation, “Um!”
“Great! I love you, mom and dad!” Lara smiled immediately and kissed her mom.
The next morning, Baron arrived at Perry Courtyard on time.
He couldn’t believe the person coming to see him was his mother-in-law.
Sherry rushed out with a besom and flogged it at him.
“You bastard! You dare to pester my daughter. I will kill you.” Sherry scolded.
