Brody stared at her face with his black eyes. There was a deep sense of loss in his eyes because of
Tracy's response
He found that after a long time, Tracy was always calm when talking to him, and she even disdained to
quarrel with him, let alone make a scene.
He didn't think the peace between them was a luxury. However, he didn't find that he was happy at all
for the well behaved Tracy. He had a strong feeling of worry about losing Tracy, her reactions, her
words and behaviors.
So, he hated the way Tracy was now. He would rather see her jump up from the bed and yell at him as
she had done before.
He also hoped so. Worrying about gains and losses was only his own worries
"Forget it. I am going to sleep now!"
After saying that, Tracy lay on the bed in a calm manner, showing no sign of getting angry, let alone
yelling at him, Tracy lay on the bed silently, remaining motionless. After a long time, when she thought
she was going to sleep, something heavy pressed her waist.
She frowned, and was completely awaken by the noise. When she opened her eyes, she found that
Brody had already been in bed.
Brody supported his head with one hand, leaned sideways, and stared intently at her bewildered and
somewhat restless face.
Being stared at by Brody for a moment, Tracy felt a little uneasy. Subconsciously, she turned her head,
avoiding eye contact with him.
There was always a feeling of confusion that could not be expelled from his heart, maybe because of
Alice, or anything else.
"I am going to sleep!" She felt uncomfortable being stared at by him. She said irritably and closed her
eyes.
Brody didn't respond, still staring at her. What he said next made her wide awake.
"For what I said today, I am not joking with you."
Tracy was stunned. She raised her head and looked at him with wide eyes.
what?
"Baby!"
Brody reminded her kindly, but his face was still calm.
Tracy was startled and retreated in panic. "No, I don't want to..."
She was furious and said no.
His face became more unfathomable. He didn't show any signs of anger, but his black eyes were still
staring at her.
"I won't agree it..." Sensing his long stare, Tracy was flustered. Noticing that he remained silent, she
added.
To Tracy's surprise, just as she refused, the girl in her dream appeared again -- Alice.
'Why? Why do I think of Alice at this time?'.
'A woman just appeared in my house for no reason. In that case, I won't have his child.'
There was no room for negotiation.
Looking at the agitated Tracy, Brody sighed. He frowned and held back the emotions. The fear of losing
her grew stronger in his heart. He realized that although she was by his side, he didn't feel her.
She wouldn't get angry. She just wanted to be his wife.
But the more Tracy tried to avoid it, the more worried he was, especially when Tracy was rejecting to
have his child.
"It's not up to you. I have been tolerant with you for two years, so..."
Although Brody was bossy and unyielding this time, he was unusually calm,.
"I don't want to..." Tracy said with determination.
Without saying anything, Brody pulled her hands from the quilt.
For a moment, Tracy was startled, but rain didn't seem to be angry, so she just let him pull her hands
out.
The next second, he forcibly stuffed a gem into her palm. That gem was very familiar -- more than
familiar!
It was the last time. Tracy tried her best to suppress a sense of resentment and look at him calmly.
"What are you doing?"
"This is for you," said Brody with a serious face
Tracy was stunned. The beam of light from the gem made her face look more unreadable.
She was stunned for a while and said, "no, I don't want it. This gem should have a very important
meaning to you!"
Despite her calm voice, Tracy felt a sharp pain in her heart. She still remembered that Ray had slapped
her on the face for the gem last time.
The gem that Ben gave her was destroyed by Brody.
He was so unscrupulous and reckless that he burnt the bell in his hand.
Brody stared at the gem that he put into her palm forcefully and said calmly, "it doesn't matter. It
belongs to you from the beginning to the end."
Tracy shook her head and put the gem back into his hand. "I don't like them."
The gem was held tightly in Tracy's hand because Brody didn't take it.
"It's not Juliet's. Maybe it was prepared for her at the beginning, but But then I found it was
meaningless, so I didn't give it to others. This gem is not inferior to the one that Ben gave before. "
"Forget it, Brody. Stop it. I don't want it." Tracy interrupted quietly.
"No, it's not like that..." As she was about to turn over, Brody suddenly pinned her down and said with a
serious tone.
"What?" asked Tracy, turning to look at him
"You must accept it!"
Tracy smiled so happily that even Brody had no idea of what she was really thinking right now.
"It's just a gem. I don't want it. You can't force me to accept it!"
She looked at him in amusement, but only she knew that her heart was bleeding.
The pain in the chest was excruciating.
He was always so overbearing, tough and irresistible that he had absolute control of anyone.
"Take it!"
Glancing at her, Brody said briefly and decisively without any resistance.
After a short pause, Tracy clenched her fists.
Very soon, before she could say anything else, the gem was put in her palm again by Brody.
"Keep it. It's very important!" The next moment, Brody lay down on the bed.
Tracy stared at the gem in a daze
She clenched her fist and the only thought in her mind was to throw the gem out. Just like last time.
But things were different now. She couldn't do that.
"Then, does this gem belong to me?" After Tracy fell asleep, she turned her head to stare at Brody who
was sleeping on her pillow.
"No, I gave it to you, because I want you to keep it better!"
Brody said calmly.
He saw through her at a glance.
With a smile, Tracy turned around, clenched the gem tightly in her hand and closed her eyes.
Looking at her calm face, Brody smiled bitterly. He hoped that she could calm him down.
Tracy didn't say anything more.
In the following days, with the appearance of Alice, Tracy seemed to be more relaxed, because she
didn't need to tutor Ray in every aspect, nor did she have to have a headache about how to teach him.
In fact, more than a year ago, after Ray slapped her, she no longer strictly trained him or argued with
him.
However, the stalemate between them was broke by the arrival of Alice. With a bitter smile, Tracy
realized that Alice had a great influence on Ray.
He talked, and he became optimistic.
One day, as soon as she went down the first stair, she heard an arrogant voice, "Brody, I didn't expect
that there would be a beauty in your house. I didn't know that until now."
Following the voice, Tracy saw that Alice was sitting alone on the sofa in the living room, staring
blankly. And Elsa walked up behind Alice in an swaggering manner.
As if hearing the voice, Alice came back to earth and turned to look at him in confusion.
"Who are you?" Alice asked with a puzzled look on her face and looked at Elsa.
