Come Back to Me
Chapter 40 No Conspiracy (Part Two)
Perhaps, he had fallen in love with her since then.
Nothing could save him.
"It's none of my business..."
Tracy turned her head so as to avoid eye contact with Ben.
She stared at the glass table and murmured.
She couldn't tell Ben that she wanted to vent her anger on Brody.
Because she didn't like the arrogant face.
"Ben, do you know something?"
Suddenly, Tracy turned around and asked, but her eyes met those of doubt.
She was stunned, and her heart beat with fear by his eyes.
She blushed slightly.
"Yes..."
Caught off guard, Tracy met Ben's gaze. Ben suddenly uttered a "H'm".
Then he turned his head and stared at the wine glass in his hand.
There was an awkward silence in the room.
And it was Tracy who broke the silence first. "You must know something, right? Otherwise, how could you show up here on time?"
She knew that if she did not speak first, the quiet Ben would not open his mouth.
"That old woman is Charlie's mother."
Ben glanced at Tracy and said casually.
"Pu -"
The wine that Tracy had just tasted was all spat out by the words of Ben.
The wine splashed on her chest and the table.
"Ahem!"
Tracy coughed violently and tears filled her eyes because of choking.
Frowning, Ben reached out his big warm hand to pat her back gently.
"Slow down..."
Ben said as he patted her on the back.
Tracy took a deep breath and wiped the tears off the corner of her eyes. She rolled her eyes at rod and snapped, "it's all because of you. You said 'the mother of the Charlie'
The fact that the old lady was the mother of Charlie astonished Tracy.
All in all, she was that rogue's mother.
No wonder!
Charlie said to her in a serious manner.
"Mother? Charlie's mother was dying? Didn't this woman have an heir? What about Charlie's father? "
Tracy looked at Ben with confusion.
