Chapter 317


    Elliott was right the man as Adam described, he did have too much energy. Tracey thought he must


    be tired after having a long flight.


    When he finished bathing, he became even more vigorous. Elliott was born and raised in America,


    most of the education and culture he received were in American style.


    Xia family''s castle was an European building with Chinese interior design and decoration.


    Elliott was interested in every details of this house, feeling curious like a child. In Tracey''s eyes, he


    was just a big boy.


    "You and your cousin are so different." Tracey sighed again.


    Adam replied her calmly, "The difference not onlyy in our characters but also in our childhood."


    Tracey vaguely knew that Adam was an illegitimate child. She had never really known about


    Adam''s past.


    "Brother Adam, I have never asked you about your childhood. Why did your ship fail in the sea that


    year?" When Tracey was a little girl, she never thought of the reason, it was the time to question


    him.


    "You want to listen?"


    "Yes."


    "Then I''ll tell you. Come here." Adam waved his hand. Tracey walked up to him.


    They stood by the railing of the second floor''s balcony. They hold each other, looking at the


    distance. The wind at night blew the two people gently, Tracey’s hair waving in the air, she heard


    Adam’s voice sounded.


    "My mother was born in a big family in the United States. She has a beautiful look and an enviable


    family background.


    She had other two sisters, and her grandfather was rtively open-minded.


    The people of the Xiao family were born to be faithful.


    They were always a loving couple. My mother was the eldest, she was supposed to be responsible


    for the family business''s development, but she didn''t like doing business, she was fond of painting.


    Moreover, she didn''t like America at all. Even if the Xiao family had immigrated there long ago, she


    always felt that she didn''t belong to this country.


    She felt a strong sense of belonging to China. Every time she watched the TV and saw the map of


    China, which looked like an imposing rooster, she thought that she would return there someday.


    So, she nned to go, going with herself. She was eager to see the water town of southern China,


    to see if there were girls walking on the stone-paved street with an oil-paper umbre.


    She also dreamt of going to the broad grasnd to see the people on the back of horse herding and


    singing in the deep of the grass.


    She especially wanted to look at Mount Tianshan with her eyes, wanted to dance in the scene of


    Galsang flowers and the leisurely flock of sheep.


    As soon as thought of these pictures, she would feel like having a wonderful life. Then she gave up


    wealth and her extravagant lifestyle, going to China alone.


    China was so big that the power of my grandfather could not take her back, even if every time he


    had just got her news but soon lost her whereabouts before catching her.


    Isn''t it melodramatic? A delicate youngdy doesn''t want her wealthy family but wants to be a


    wandering painter."


    Adam asked softly. Tracey shook her head. "Your mom is a woman in spirits. Her soul is free. She


    shouldn''t be bound by the cage.


    She should be the eagle of the great snow mountain. She took the sky as home and flew freely, no


    one could restrain her. She would live a more free and easy life than anyone else.


    Some people lived for money, but she chased freedom. How many people in the world can do this?


    It was not melodramatic at all, it was a beautiful story for me.


    I feel like I am the butterfly following her, to see the great scene of this country, to hear different


    people’ s stories in differentnguages." Tracey said with affection.


    "Oh, yeah, she got the freedom she wanted. After three years of chasing her, my grandfather finally


    let her go.


    He was thinking that my mom was a free-spirited bird, she just wanted to fly out and have a look at


    the world outside. One day, when she was tired, she woulde back. However, they never


    thought about what would happen next.


    My mom left without going back. She would miss home sometimes. When she missed home, she


    would make phone calls with my grandma and aunties.


    She happily told them where she was and what kind of interesting things she encountered. Grandpa


    listened to her quietly from the side every time.


    She had thought about returning home but she was afraid to be prevented from going out again.


    She decided to go home after viewing all the scenery and being tired of wandering life.


    Grandma and aunties agreed. But God made a joke on her, she met that man."


    Adam stopped for a while. His tone was obviously getting cold. Tracey knew who the man was.


    "At that time, he was already in his fifties, and his children were almost the same age as my mother.


    The story of them was just like those melodramatic ones.


    One day, my mom was surrounded by a bunch of bad guys, that man showed up timely and helped


    my mother out. My mom was grateful for him, but she just treated him as a kind senior.


    They were like-minded people, traveling everywhere in the country. With a man apanied, my


    mom felt much safer.


    However, the man secretly had dirty intentions on her. At the beginning, he could suppress his


    heart.

    As time passed, he gradually lost control. He drugged my mom one day. On that day I came to save


    you, your loudly shouting seemingly took me back to the scene that my mom was raped.


    The senior she was respectful did such a thing to her! Her dream was smashed.


    All of this was just a beginning. He didn''t use any contraception when rapping my mom, he wanted


    to have a girl as cute as my mom.


    Then he brought my mother back home and imprisoned her. My mother tried tomit suicide


    many times, but she was stopped by others.


    Later, she had me. That man was clear that how deep the affection was that a mother had for his


    son. He knew that my mom wouldn’t hurt me.


    He began to loosen the 24-hour monitoring on my mom, but she was still trapped there and not


    allowed to contact her family.


    Therefore, nobody knew about my mom’ s background. He had an insane love for my mother,


    except for freedom, he satisfied all her needs.


    Like every polygamy family, the man''s love angered his principal wife. She thought my mom as a


    vixen who seduced her husband for money.


    From the day my mother was brought back to the Sheng family, she was like a prisoner. She could


    see the sky outside, but she could no longer fly freely.


    When the man was gone, the principal wife will torture my mother, just like a wicked woman in the


    pce...and leaving scars in invisible body parts of my mom..."


    Tracey finally knew why Adam held her tightly when telling this story, because he had trembled hard


    in unconsciousness.
