Adam kept silent. He had never seen Tracey so angry. She only wept quietly even the night she got drunk.
She pretended to be strong and never mentioned anything about the past. It turned out that she wasn't without resentment or anger.
Adam did not stop her. He knew she needed to blow off steam.
Renee was shocked. Tracey had been gentle and quite. When they were at the Xia family, she never took the initiative to speak.
Although she became cold after three years, she would not speak in such a loud voice. Renee was stunned by her roar.
"Well... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to mention that. I only hope you to forgive us.
"Even though we're not related by blood, we'd been a family for years.
"You've had a hard time, but you're happy now. You are the eldest daughter of the Xia family, and you have the best boyfriend.
"You have everything while we have nothing. We're living in a motel, eating cheap food.
"We can't afford to lose our mom. Tracey, please, have mercy on us. We need your help. It's not a big deal to you."
"I'm sorry. If it were someone else, I would agree. You can leave now." Tracey threw her hand away and walked into the house.
"Tracey, you hate us that much?" Renee's desperate voice came.
Tracey did not look back. "Yes, I hate you guys very much."
Leo helped Renee up. "I told you she wouldn't help us. She is a hater."
"She's probably gloating now."
"What should I do? I just want to save Mom." Renee wouldn't be begging Tracey if she wasn't desperate.
"Let's go. We'll figure something else out." Leo decided to leave. Renee was crushed now.
Adam followed Tracey into the house and found that she was trembling slightly. He gently held her from behind.
"Little bunny, let it out."
"Adam, I'm vicious, aren't I? I can't forgive them." Tracey turned around and threw herself into his arms.
Adam cupped her cheeks and said, "Idiot, you're the kindest person in my heart. You jumped off the ship to save me when you were five.
"Carmen and her children were so mean to you. I'm surprised they have the nerve to ask for your help.
"If I were Renee, I wouldn't show up in front of you for the rest of my life, let alone begging for your help. Don't blame yourself. You don't need to help them."
Tracey nodded. "Let's not make today about them. Anyway, they have got what they deserve. I won't get back at them if they stop targeting me. Adam, I'm hungry."
