Chapter 860


    Six years had gone by. It was time for Thirza and Serena to start elementary school.


    Tracey originally wanted both children to go back to City A. They could choose whether to study


    abroad in high school or university.


    One reason was that her career had taken off at home.


    However, Thirza said she was used to living in the United States and refused to leave.


    The two children were more mature than their peers. Although they were only six years old, they''d


    developed the ability to think for themselves.


    Their personalities and preferences were very different.


    "Mommy, I''m willing to leave in City A," Serena said directly. In face, she preferred China to


    America.


    Thirza pouted and said, "Mommy, I''m fine in America. My grandma, Auntie Reba, and the others


    are all here. I''m not leaving."


    They had different ideas about where to study, which made Tracey a little helpless.


    "Thirza, I''m not against you being in America. It''s just that Daddy and I both have careers at home.


    Your sister is going home, too. We can''t leave you here alone.


    "How about we send you to America for high school? You can be independent by then." Tracey said


    gently.


    "High school? When?"


    "Nine yearster."


    Hearing this, Thirza shook her head without hesitation. "No, Mommy. I''m going to elementary school


    in America."


    Tracey could do nothing about it. She and Adam were both open- minded people. Their children


    were young, but they didn''t want to force them to do something they hated.


    Children of all ages needed to be treated with respect.


    "Adam, since when did Thirza be so stubborn?" Tracey was a little anxious.


    Adam quickly helped her to sit down. "Little bunny, take it easy. You are five months pregnant, and


    you can''t get too emotional."


    Thirza and Serena stood around Tracey andforted her. "Mommy, don''t be angry." "Thirza, tell


    me honestly why you don''t want to leave here." Tracey didn''t think Thirza was telling the truth. The


    schools at home were no worse than those abroad, and Thirza coulde to America more often if


    she missed her family.


    "Mommy, Uncle Steve is here and I don''t want to part with him." It was the main reason.


    Tracey was really helpless. Thirza had liked Steve very much since she was a baby. In the past few


    years, Steve had been taking care of her most of the time.


    "You can visit him in America on your holidays. Besides, he will visit you if he goes to China on


    business." Tracey rubbed Thirza''s head.


    "No, Mommy. I want to see Uncle Steve every day. I need to see him at least three days a week."


    Thirza took Tracey''s hand.


    Steve didn''t see thating. He said, "Tracey, if Thirza insists on staying here, I will take care of


    her. Anyway, I have been taking care of her for so many years and I am used to it."


    "That''s ridiculous! You''re 28 years old and you are still single. You may be a chick ma, but she''s


    gonna demaize you." Tracey shook her head repeatedly.


    Even I was married with kids. Steve still didn''t have a girlfriend.


    Tracey had always med herself for that. If


    Thirza kept living in Steve''s house, people might think she was his illegitimate child.


    No woman would be okay with a man living with a little girl. Tracey didn''t want her daughter to stop


    Steve from dating.


    "You''re like my mom. Aren''t single men in their thirty the most popr demographic these days?


    Besides, I am not yet 30. Don''t worry." Steve didn''t care about it.


    He liked Thirza very much. With her around, he seemed to be less lonely, and his life was full of fun.


    "In short, I can''t agree. Steve, you have done so much for me. I''m not gonna ask you to do anything


    more." Tracey refused directly.


    "I didn''t do anything for you. Didn''t you give me all the shares of thepany? Now, it''s my own


    company and I''m working for myself. You''re just too independent."


    Even though he said so, Tracey knew how much he had done for her.


    "Steve, you''re no longer young. If you start dating now, you can get married before 30. How can you


    concentrate on dating with a rug rat?" Tracey didn''t want topromise.


    "Mommy is so bad! I want to stay in America! I''m not a rug rat... Boo-hoo..." Thirza burst into tears.


    She felt as if Mom was ming her.


    Everyone was panicked, because Thirza rarely cried. Adam immediately held Thirza into his arms.


    "Sweetheart, don''t cry, don''t cry."


    "Daddy, can you promise me to let me stay here?" Thirza said, gurgling.


    She always threw herself to her daddy whenever she wanted something, because her daddy was


    softer than her mommy.


    "Okay, okay, I promise you. Stop crying, my little princess. You''re breaking Daddy''s heart."


    The only ones in the world he couldn''t say no to were his wife and his daughters.


    "Adam, you can''t promise her. It''s no small thing." Tracey shook her head.


    "Boo- hoo..." Thirza, who had already stopped crying, burst into tears again.


    "Mommy, just let her stay here. She''s breaking my eardrums. I don''t want it to happen every day."


    Serena said with a cold face.


    "Yes, Tracey. We''re all in America, and Steve is not an outsider. Thirza can live with any of us." Tina


    couldn''t help saying.

    "Tracey, you''re pregnant and you''ll be busy in a few months. You''ll be tired with three children. If


    Thirza stays here, we will take care of her for you.


    None of us wants you to get too tried." Neymar said.


    Tracey felt helpless. This little devil knew best how to get what she wanted. Now that everyone was


    on her side, Tracey had to give in.


    "I won''t being to America anytime soon. What if you miss me?" Tracey asked gently.


    "We can Skype! And I''ll have Uncle take me to see you on my holidays." Thirza smiled proudly.
