Chapter 124
When Tracey was thinking about her next plan, a text message suddenly came in. Seeing the number on the screen, she smiled.
"How is it going?" Although there were only a few words, she could imagine what this person's expression was when he typed these words.
"Good so far. I don't go back these days. I'm going to stay here to fix them." Tracey quickly replied.
When Adam saw "fix them", he could not help laughing. But soon turned disappointed as long as thought that Tracey won't be back for some days.
"Who am I going to sleep with if you don't come back?" He was shameless to ask.
"I'll give you a bed partner." Tracey also joked. She caught a rabbit doll on her bed and took a photo of it, then sent it to Adam.
"So, you mean you were my bed partner since we slept together before, didn't you?" Seeing these words, Tracey could imagine the look that Adam raised his eyebrows.
"President Xiao, are you always so idle?"
"No, I'm busy missing you." Men always have a lot of love words. Tracey felt shy for Adam's words.
"Miss Xia, lunch is ready. Come down and have it." The housekeeper knocked on the door and said.
"Okay, I'm coming." Tracey opened the door and went downstairs. Other people had already in position.
As soon as she came down, Carmen greeted her warmly, "Tracey, come here. I specially asked Lily to make your favorite braised pork ribs."
She was so kind as if she was Tracey's mother! After all, she was not stupid, she had to act kindly in front of Ben.
When Tracey sat down, fighting was about to begin. "Thank you, Carmen, for still remembering my taste."
"Of course, I have always regarded you as my own daughter. As your mother, how can forget about it?" Carmen said with a smile.
Tracey also smiled and replied, "That's right. As a mother, you should remember your children's tastes, but what I liked was sweet and sour ribs, not braised ribs."
Hearing this, Carmen's smile froze. "She must deliberately said it!" She thought.
Tracey picked up the ribs and gave them to Ben, saying, "You must have remembered wrong. It's my dad who likes braised ribs."
"Oh... Haha, maybe I did remember it wrong." Carmen said awkwardly.
"Tracey is quite a good daughter of mine. After so many years, she still remembers what I like to eat." Ben said happily.
"Of course, I remember it clearly. When I was a child, you liked the braised pork ribs made by my mom the most. Every time you will eat them up, but...my mom was no longer here..."
A few moments ago, Tracey was still cheerful, but when it came to her mother, she was choked with sobs. Ben had been guilty of her mother alone in his life.
Hearing she mentioned the braised pork, Ben also felt sad in his heart. He also missed that taste.
"Tracey, it's my fault that I didn't take good care of your mother.'¹ Ben's eyes also filled with some water.
"It's all over, dad. Life and death are decreed by fate. Mom ever taught me how to make it. Even though she was not with us any more, let me make it for you." Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Ben was so touched to hear Tracey said so. "Tracey, I'm so glad that you are back!"
The closer the relationship between Ben and Tracey was getting, the uneasier Carmen became. She hurriedly winked at Renee and Leo.
They seldom ate at home before, let alone picking up food for their father. Renee quickly picked a big shrimp.
And Leo gave Ben a pig feet. Looking at her children's performance, Carmen was almost driven mad.
"Dad, the shrimp is so fresh and tasted good!"
"Dad, you work so hard recently. This pig feet is for you."
Ben's face became gloomy. Tracey helped him to get the food out, which instantly irritated Renee and Leo.
"What are you doing?" Renee put her chopsticks down hard. "Only you can pick up food for dad, we can't do it?" "Right. Don't go too far. We are considerate to deliver dad the good food, how dare you to interfere with it?" Leo said angrily.
Tracey elegantly wiped her mouth, wasn't scared by their questioning at all.
She calmly asked, "If you really care about dad, why don't you know that dad is allergic to seafood, and he hates pig foot the most?"
They were like the blowing balloons but soon pierced by Tracey’s words.
Ben also said coldly, "What a pity that my children have stayed with me for so long, but at last they don't even know what do I like or dislike."
"Dad, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Renee said in a panic.
"Didn't mean it? If I eat this shrimp, I will have red rashes all over my body. Are you gonna responsible for it? How dare you yell at your sister!"
"Dad, don't be angry. I think they didn't mean it. Have soup. Wait until it cools down." Tracey stood up and passed him the soup.
"My Tracey is so considerate. Sit down, don't be so tired. I'll help myself." Ben liked the considerate and well- behaved Tracey more and more, especially when she was compared with Renee and Leo.
They glanced at each other and dared not speak again, leaving only Tracey and Ben chatting happily during the whole lunch.
On the surface, they smiled, Carmen smiled with them. But inside, she must try hard to suppress her fire.
After the meal, the family sat in the living room and chatted. Renee began the topic, "Tracey, your earrings are gorgeous. Why they look like black swan's tears?"
"Look like? This is the masterwork of gem designer DO. Honey, I remember we made a reservation of them before, but what made me surprised was, there were only five sets of this gem in the world, Tracey got one of them!"
Carmen led the topic to jewelry, which attracted Ben's attention. "Even if a person is rich, he may not certainly to attained Master DO's work. Tracey, how did you get it?"
"That's right. As a student, you can't afford such jewelry. Besides, the money we gave you can't afford them either. Did someone give you this set?"
Tracey didn't know what kind of purposes did she have to ask this. "Yes, it's a gift from someone else."
"This set of jewelry is quite expensive. Who gave it to you?" Carmen tried to get to the bottom.
"It's right from DO." Tracey said casually.
"What? Did she give it to you personally? How do you know her?" Carmen apparently did not believe Tracey. After all, DO was known as the genius designer.
No matter sold alone or in sets, as long as her work was available in the market, they would be soon sold out. They were particularly popular in Europe, among those rich ladies.
"This is my secret." Tracey chuckled. "Should I tell
her that I am DO?" She thought.
