His Domineering Lover -
Chapter 406
Tracey rushed home. When she just walked into the courtyard, he saw Carmen kneeling on the ground. Ben was standing on the side, looked quite helpless.
"Was she still dreaming of coming back?" Tracey thought.
"Dad, why is she here again?" Tracey walked toward them. If Ben showed weakness and welcome Carmen back, Tracey would never help Ben and scheme to drive her away again. "Tracey, what can I do? She wants me to save Leo." Ben said.
"Leo?" Tracey suddenly remembered that after Carmen and Renee provoking Tina, for punishing them, she told Ruth to make a fuss between Carmen and Adela.
Ruth wanted Adela personally to kick Carmen's ass. Unexpectedly, Leo got irritated and hurt Adela with a knife.
Tracey was lucky to avoid Leo's stab while Adela was unfortunate and hospitalized.
Tracey told Adam to leave this matter behind, however, things seemed to get more
complicated, and Carmen went back!
"Tracey, I know that I am sorry for you, but we have been punished.
Now no one could threaten you anymore in the Xia family. We even left without any penny. But Leo is in big trouble now, for that sake of your brother, can you save him?" Carmen said in a begging tone.
She looked awful, her hair was messy, and her face was swollen in red. Perhaps she had tried asking Adela for mercy, but she was turned down. Now the Xia family was her last hope.
"Carmen, first, I have to make it clear, you didn't leave the Xia family voluntarily but was driven out due to your betrayal to my father.
Second, Leo was just my so-called brother. If he had ever treated me well in the past, I would definitely help him out.
But I remember clearly that he wanted to stab me not long ago at my grandpa's birthday party, I have let him go once. Otherwise, do you really think he could be released so soon? Carmen, I know that your days are difficult. It's not me who caused you trouble, but yourself.
It's a natural rule to get punished after making sins. Leo is an adult, and he should be responsible for his behavior. I won't interfere in this matter."
Seeing Carmen was so poor, Tracey said and eased her cold tone.
"But this punishment is too much, and it would ruin Leo's future! I beg you, Tracey, as long as you can save him, I will disappear from your eyes forever, I promise!" Carmen said in anxiety while pulling Tracey's pants.
"Carmen, we are even, I don't hate you now, and I won't take more revenge on you. Leo asked for this result as he always lost control in the same thing. Nobody could save him. Dad, let's go inside." Tracey took Ben into the house. Human beings were hard to change the personality. Leo was obviously unaware of his dangerous behavior, and he may stab others next time when he got stimulated again. Therefore, he should take a lesson rather than being saved.
"Ben, I beg you to save Leo for the last time. If you don't help him, I won't get up." Carmen shouted behind them.
"Go ahead, you can just kneel here." Tracey shut the door closed. Carmen was smart as she knew that men would be easily pitiful on women, maybe Ben would soften his heart when seeing her kneeling outside.
But Tracey didn't buy it. She was alert to Carmen's plan, if today she agreed to save Leo, maybe tomorrow Carmen would take an opportunity to stage a comeback with her children.
The closing door cut off Carmen's hope. She looked at the door in a daze, praying that Ben could have a little conscience to save her again.
Ben walked into the house in a heavy mood. "Who Leo provoked this time is the Lin family. They won't spare him."
"That's her business. Dad, you don't want to help her, do you? Let me tell you, when Carmen approached you for the first time, if you put away your so-called kindness, things would not become what they looked like today.
She took advantage of your kindness and make use of you again and again. If you identified her true color earlier, we would not have suffered such a lot.
And mom won't leave us! Dad, if you agree to help her today, you are not my dad." This was the first time that Tracey talked to Ben so ruthlessly.
She had never blamed Ben frankly on mom's leaving because she knew that Ben was sad too, if she blamed him, it won't help but only adding him sadness.
She knew that Ben had realized his fault. Even so, he could not change the result.
What he could do was to keep Carmen outside and refuse to help. If he sympathized with her and agreed on helping finally, it would be equal to add salt to Tracey's wound.
"It turned out she had endured her pain all the time instead of speaking it out." Ben looked at Tracey, feeling guilty and ashamed that he didn't even have a clear mind as his daughter. "Don't worry, Tracey. I will no longer help her. She has nothing to do with me whether Leo is dead or not."
"I hope so." Tracey calmly said. Carmen was full of tricks. She had asked both sides for help, then how things would be going?
"Whatever things would be, I don't care." Tracey thought. She would like to see Carmen receiving punishments that she should bear.
Carmen knelt in the courtyard for an hour. It was completely dark. There was only one streetlamp giving brightness to this embarrassed woman.
It was already deep autumn, and the temperature dropped soon at night. As the cold wind blew, Carmen was shivering. She was still waiting for Ben, changing his mind.
However, she may get disappointed this time as Ben had decided to not offer any help. Edgar was also helpless in solving this problem.
When Carmen got up from the ground, her legs had lost consciousness. Just as she stood up, she lost balance and fell heavily.
Wounds spread all over her body, every inch of her skin was shouting pain out loud. Nobody had ever instigated her to commit mistakes, she chose to walk on the way of guilt herself, she should take the karma personally.
After falling, she lay on the ground for a while until consciousness came back. She held the streetlamp to stand up and massaged her knees, then she staggered out of Xia's residence.
"He won't help, I know, never help." Carmen muttered.
On the upstairs, Ben stood by the window and watched the limped woman with a thin back leaving Xia's residence step by step. His eyes were full of complexity.
It was unnecessary to investigate who was right or wrong. In a word, a reckoning is inevitable for those who had brought others unhappiness.
"Carmen, goodbye..." Ben murmured. This should be a farewell for them to each other.
