Valerie was stunned as she was ignored by Tracey. So, she had to hold back the cursing words that she prepared.
"Well, I'll get Amiyah to cook it for you. You should sleep more, and you must be tired after the long journey." Vaughn brought Tracey back to her room and closed the door.
Tracey went to the bed and she yawned. Recently, she had become a lot more sleepy as if she could fall asleep at anytime.
"I'm sorry for her words." Vaughn was guilty about the way that Valerie talked, he kept Tracey but made her suffer wrong.
"You don't love her?"
"If I loved her, I would tell her. Whether you showed up or not, I won’t like her." When Vaughn brought up this matter, he was helpless.
"So, you are taking advantage of me to make her give up?" Tracey straightly pointed at the truth.
Vaughn looked into her bright eyes and felt this girl was really smart. "I'm sorry, I'm not taking advantage of you. I really want to show you my hometown and bring your baby blessings.
As for making Valerie give up, to be honest, I tried to do that. Although I grew up with her, I didn't have affection on her. She is nearly 25 years old, and barely no girls in this village would remain single at this age” Vaughn said.
Tracey knew that Vaughn was a good man. Out of his rules, he wouldn't keep the woman he didn't love waiting for him.
"It doesn't matter. I can understand her, and I won't blame her." Tracey thought she was not qualified to evaluate others' relationships.
"Thanks. It’s time to rest." Vaughn turned around and left. Tracey looked at his tall figure, thinking that he should have had a happy family if she didn’ t disturb his life.
Tracey didn't wake up until it was evening. She stretched herself and got out of the bed. She didn' t want to continue her life like this to simply repeat eating and sleeping, with not too much time she would become a fat woman. "Would Adam recognize me then?" She thought.
Thinking of Adam, she couldn't help feeling sad. Although she had been lying to herself that she would meet him soon, as long as recalling the scene that he chased her car, Tracey’s eyes were getting wet.
She stroked her belly again and again. "Baby, we will see Dad soon. I miss him, and dad will definitely find us."
Vaughn came and asked Tracey to have dinner, outside the door, he heard Tracey's murmur with a light snuffle. He froze and stopped knocking, feeling a little uncomfortable.
The more he got along with Tracey, the more he found that he could not integrate into her world. She was kind, but also very cruel.
At this moment, he became suspicious again. "Is it right for me to do this? When her child was born and looks for father, how should I answer?"
Also, as the child grew up gradually, he would definitely consider Vaughn as a robber who separated his/her parents.
Tracey would not be happy, and neither would be her child. Vaughn would also live in self-criticize every day.
However, it was still hard for Vaughn to let go.
After a while until no sound in the room, Vaughn knocked at the door. "Tracey, are you awake? Dinner is ready, if you are awake, come down to eat."
"Okay, I'm coming."
Tracey opened the door and quickly returned calmly. "Let's go down."
Both of them pretended to be calm sitting by the table, while Amiyah enthusiastically introduced the tasty local dishes that were served. Most of them were made of wild vegetables grew in the mountains and other homemade ingredients.
Tracey's appetite opened greatly, and she ate a large quantity. "Amiyah, it's so delicious."
"I was worried that you don't like it. You usually eat western food, right?"
