Melissa still looked at Brody with disdain and said proudly, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, Melissa knows
that brother loves Melissa the most and he can listen to me. I'll tell him now that father doesn't treat him
as a son at all."
After saying that, she left with a serious look on her face. In this way, her action scared the soul out of
Brody. When he came to his senses, he quickly grabbed her little wrist and said, "Children know
nothing. Don't mess around. Other people's families are so harmonious. Look at you, how can you
break up your family?"
Melissa didn't hear a word. There was only one thought in her mind now, that was, she didn't go to
school, because her brother didn't go to school either. He always skipped school, so she didn't go to
school either. Who said she was stupid? Even if she didn't go to school, she would definitely be able to
catch up with her brother.
Seeing that Melissa was still going forward stubbornly, he was dumbfounded. He didn't block her way.
He looked at Melissa with a dark face, and Melissa glared at him angrily.
"What are you going to do?" Brody's voice sounded a little dangerous. Melissa stared at Brody and
said firmly, "I don't want to go to school."
Frowning, Brody looked at Melissa and Melissa said unhappily, "Brother hasn't gone to school yet. I
won't go either!"
"Can you compete with him? He'll be there soon. " Brody said affirmatively.
Melissa pulled a long face, pouted her lips, turned her head, and sat on the sofa angrily. Then, he had
to follow her. As soon as he looked at Melissa, Melissa turned her head with resentment. Brody
lowered his head to look at her on the other side, and Melissa dodged to the other side. In this way,
they began a seesaw battle. Melissa didn't compromise. Brody couldn't do anything about her
naughtiness. If only Tracy were here. But he really didn't understand why Melissa would be so obedient
in front of Tracy.
They were in a stalemate. In the end, he had no choice but to compromise. "Go ahead!" He looked at
her and said lightly. Melissa's eyes began to glow. She looked at Brody excitedly. Brody said with a
dark face, "Don't be happy too early. I can allow you to escape school for a few days, but you can't stay
out of school all the time. "
Looking at Melissa solemnly, he added in the bottom of his heart, 'Even for a few days, I think Tracy will
be sad. She thinks so highly of Melissa and Alston's academic performance.'
Hearing that it was only a few days, Melissa was unhappy, and pulled a long face. He stared at Melissa
and said, "Say it in a few days. If you don't want to, forget it!"
Seeing that she didn't change her mind, he turned around and left. Seeing that he was really angry,
Melissa jumped from the sofa to the ground and held his hand. "Well, I know. One week, okay? Just
one week, one week. I can stay at home with dad, and dad can have a son. It's a good deal, Dad. Why
didn't dad do it? "
Her words made him almost spit out blood. What did she mean? Seeing that he didn't say anything,
Melissa thought he was really angry. She softened her tone and said, "Father, don't be angry. I'll go to
school."
Brody turned around and looked down at her. This time, Melissa held his big hand with two small hands
and said, "Dad... Can you just ask for a week's leave? "
With a darkened face, Brody didn't say a word. Melissa kept shaking his hand and said, "Dad, I
promise. I promise it's only this week. I'll be good in the future. I'll go to school every day."
Looking at her sincere face, Brody was a little moved, especially when she kept calling him father in her
delicate voice. His heart was filled with a strong sense of happiness, but when he thought that Melissa
begged him for running away from school, he couldn't nod.
Melissa looked at Brody with disappointment, "Forget it. I'll go to school, but brother... My brother will
definitely come back to the other father's house tomorrow! "
After Melissa finished her words, she let go of his hand disappointedly. Frowning, he tried to persuade
her, "Isn't it the national day after a while? Why do you have to skip school for a week? "
Melissa looked up at him and corrected him unhappily, "I'm going to ask for leave, not skipping classes.
Dad has gone too far."
Brody had to agree with her, "Okay, it's a treat. The National Day is coming soon. Aren't you making
trouble out of nothing? Be a monk every day! "
Melissa frowned and said, "No, father. Don't always tell me these things. Please tell me if you agree or
not!"
Looking at the determined expression in her eyes, Brody nodded and indulged her again. "Okay, just
one week. I agree!"
After Brody finished his words, Melissa still looked at him unhappily, which made him even more
speechless. He shouldn't know whether to praise Melissa or blame her. She was really smart and had
too many tricks.
"No... Of course, dad will agree sooner or later. The key is not in dad's place, but in Mom's. Dad, go
and tell mom that it's not a good idea to ask for a week's leave! "
Melissa held his hand again. He frowned and said, "Okay. Don't be so cocky. I'll talk to her. But if mom
doesn't agree, I can do nothing about it! "
Her big clear eyes twinkled with cunning light. She looked at him and said weirdly, "After all, dad is
afraid of mom."
Brody felt like weeping but had no tears. He didn't understand why children didn't like to go to school,
and why did they have so many strange ideas.
"Well, now that you know it, why you still ask dad to tell mom? If Dad says so to mom, won't your mom
be angry?" She did this just to push his father into a fire pit.
Melissa narrowed her eyes and thought for a while. But the final result was that she held his hand and
said, "No matter what, dad must have a way. If Dad can't persuade mom, then I can't persuade
brother!"
Brody hesitated and Melissa continued, "It's just... If Melissa told brother, brother would naturally stay at
home. It's so easy. I don't need you to worry about me! "
Although Brody was a little reluctant to let Melissa skip school, what she said really moved him. Alston
was indeed vulnerable to what she said. If she said it clearly, it would be easier for him to communicate
with Alston.
In the end, he had no choice but to give in. Speechless, he looked at Melissa and nodded. Next, he
would have a headache about Tracy.
After dinner, Alston seemed to be too tired. After taking a shower, he fell asleep on the bed. Tracy felt
sorry for him and settled him down. Then she walked into the bedroom. By the time she entered, Brody
had already closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep. She smiled. She had a lot to talk to him, but
now...
She sighed. She also went to bed and closed her eyes. In fact, she was really tired during her
pregnancy. In addition, she was usually sleepy, so she fell asleep within a minute with her eyes closed.
Lying next to her, Brody opened his eyes and turned his body to look at her sleeping eyes. Recently,
she seemed to be more and more sleepy. A happy smile appeared at the corners of his mouth. He
couldn't help reaching out his big palm and touching Tracy's little face.
