Chapter 318


    Tracey did not interrupt him, she just listened to the beginning of a long story but her heart had


    already gone through ups and downs.


    As a woman, she could feel her mother''s pain. A few days ago, she could not move on the ground


    but shouted "Brother Adam, helped me..." helplessly.


    Tracey had good luck and Adam stopped all her misfortune. But Adam''s mom was not the same


    lucky to be saved. That was why Adam hated Old Master Sheng so much.


    Although Old Master Sheng had a bad temper and forced Adam to marry another woman, Tracey


    could still feel old master’s love for his son.


    With such an unforgivable past, no matter what he made up for Adam, he would not ept his


    father in his life.


    In this world, all love and hatred happened for a reason. The love of Old Master Sheng was too


    selfish and he finally destroyed a budding flower.


    For avoiding the tragedy happened again, Adam chose to guard Tracey silently instead of


    possessing her.


    "Didn''t your mother report the bullies to the old master?" Tracey asked carefully.


    "Do you think my mom cared about that man''s protection? No. She knew the principal wife was just


    envious.


    Old master got married to this woman not because of love, and not until getting old did the old man


    know what was love.


    Although the principal wife had spent her life apanying the old master, she was never loved by


    him. Therefore, when the old man exposed his strong love for my mother, hatred twisted the


    principal wife'' s heart, while my mom was in desperation.


    She stoppedmitting suicide, but she would never forgive the old master, not mention to fall in


    love with him. No love, no jealousy, she naturally not asked for his protection.


    Even though my mother didn''t ask for protection, the principal wife was smart and didn’t torture her


    hard. She just did it frequently with some dirty tricks.


    Later, I was born. Although I was not the girl that the old master wanted, as long as seeing my mom


    delivered a baby, he was happy.


    He nned to divorce the principal wife and made my mom legal. However, my mom refused with


    death threatening.


    She had been pursuing freedom all her life, let alone her marriage. She would never marry a man


    she didn''t love.


    She would not get married, nor would agree to the unreasonable and rude request of the old


    master. He thought that she had given birth to me and the child would bound a mother up.


    He slowly gave her some freedom, days seemed to be in peace at that time, but the most miserable


    part wasing in silence. My mom was dead when I was six.


    The only thing she left for me was her painting and a ne representing her identity.


    I finally understood why she corrected me immediately after I made a little mistake. She would tell


    me a lot of life philosophy at my young age when I was just sensible.


    And why she was unwilling to be that man’s legal wife. She lived just because of me and had


    nothing to do with the Sheng family.


    She said that when she dies, half of her ashes should be scattered in China''s mountains andkes,


    and the other half will be taken back to the United States. She must not be buried with the people of


    the Sheng family..."


    As Adam said this, Tracey felt a warm liquid dripping down from his back neck. He cried.


    As a child, he was forced to ept his mother''s death. Tracey could fully understand this kind of


    feeling as she had a simr experience.


    She turned over to hugged Adam. She held his waist gently,forting him only in this way.


    "I was too young then to understand why my mother did this. Because she was locked up in the


    Sheng family''s vi for too long, she had a tendency for depression.


    Sometimes, she stayed up all night. The old master would give her a small number of sleeping pills.


    But in fact, she pretended to be sleepless.


    She kept all the medicines and nned to take all of the sleeping pills. One day in the afternoon,


    she made the dishes that I liked as usual.


    After that meal, I saw her sitting on the swing in the courtyard with her eyes closed, and the corners


    of her mouth lifted. I thought she was just sleeping, but I didn''t know that she would never wake up


    again.


    I put away the ne she left for me, and a diary of her, which recorded everything about her.


    I didn''t know so many words at that time, so I hid the diary book under my bed and studied hard


    every day. Finally, I knew my mother''s story.


    Everyone thought that she was a gold-digging girl, except for me!


    After my mother passed away, the principal wife was finally relieved as nobody would rece her.


    But she started to treat me as her new enemy.


    I was too young to go to America then. I could only endure all my grief in my heart.


    When I was born, the old master made a will that he would pass more than half of the family''s


    property to me and my mother.


    This will was discovered by the principal wife before it was released. She hated me and tortured me


    in the way she did to my mom.


    Do you know... Every time the old master is not at home, it would be my nightmare. One year in


    winter, it snowed heavily and the old master went abroad.


    I was about eight or nine. My elder brother and his wife framed me to steal her earrings and they


    scolded me bad and cheap. They punished me to kneel in the snow.


    I was young and had no position in the Sheng family. All of the people regarded me as their enemy,


    who robbed their shares.


    If I didn''t kneel, four or five adults would kick my knees, forcefully pressed me into the snow, and


    spat on me.


    N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    They called me the son of a b*tch. The snow of that day was beautiful, but it reflected on their ugly


    faces!"


    Tracey thought that she was miserable enough to be tortured in the Xia family, but she didn''t expect


    that what Adam suffered was a hundred times more painful than she did.


    "Stop it, Brother Adam. I shouldn''t have asked you about this." Tracey had never thought that he


    had such a heavy past, which was far more than being an illegitimate child.


    Adam''s eyes were distracted, and he was still looking at the distance. He continued, "My mom has


    never cared about anything of the Sheng family, me neither. I don''t need to exin these things to


    them.


    When I was a child, I was the most beloved son of the old master, but behind his back, I was beaten


    and kicked. My life was miserable.


    Even so, I didn''t give up on myself. I want to make myself more excellent. I won''t let my mother


    down. I will go back to America to see my mother''s family.


    In the year when I knew you, the people of the Sheng family went to the United States for vacation.


    The opportunity finally came, I went with them.


    I spent a lot of effort to find my mother''s family members. My grandfather, grandma, and aunties


    were all good people and they were as gentle as my mom.


    They couldn''t believe my mom had left the world. Although they had lost contact for more than ten


    years, they were still in hope that my mom lived happily somewhere.


    Then I returned my mother''s ne and diary book and buried her in the States as she wished."
