Ray lowered his head and didn't know what to say. Melissa grabbed his hand and said, "There's only
one month left. If my brother is too busy with his study, he will be tired. He can't be in a hurry to achieve
his goal." Brody looked at Melissa and said helplessly, "He is in a hurry?" Soon, he frowned.
Glaring at Melissa, Tracy said crossly, "So, every time you are the last one in the whole class."
Seeing that Tracy looked cold and pitiful, Melissa looked at Brody again for help. With a helpless smile,
Brody said, "If he has to be kept back a year, then do what teachers say."
Upon hearing this, Melissa was so excited that she almost started to dance. Ray didn't show much
emotional fluctuation, while Tracy widened her eyes and looked at Brody in astonishment. How could
he agree to Ray so easily? College entrance examination was not a game.
Melissa glanced at Tracy secretly. When she saw the nervous look on Tracy's face, she said hastily,
"My brother is only thirteen years old now. For his future, we should let him do it step by step." With a
cold face, Tracy didn't answer. Seeing that Tracy ignored her, Melissa knew that she was angry. A trace
of injury flashed across her face, and her small hand held the big hand of Brody tightly.
Seeing Melissa's reaction, Tracy said coldly, "If you have any problem in the future, you can ask your
father for help." Hearing this, Melissa felt so wronged that she was about to cry. Brody hurriedly
squatted down, wiped her tears and coaxed her.
"As long as you behave well in the future, mom will care for you. Don't cry," Brody coaxed in a soft
voice. The sound of crying became louder and louder. He sighed, "Just cry if you want to cry. Who
dares to cry when a child does something wrong? Let's go to have dinner. Let her cry alone. "
Seeing that Melissa still didn't stop crying, Brody stood up after he finished his words. Then Melissa
stopped crying and hurried to hold his hand. He turned his head and looked at Melissa seriously. "Do
you know you are wrong?"
"Yes!" Melissa said in a sobbing tone. Seeing her tearful face, Brody had already felt sorry for her. But,
as Tracy said, Melissa was really spoiled by him. He had been obedient to her.
Seeing that he was also angry, Melissa ran to Tracy, took Tracy's hand and said fawningly, "Mom, I
know I was wrong. I shouldn't have lied to you. I shouldn't have called my brother's name." With a cold
face, Tracy turned her head away from the pitiful look, because every time she saw the tears at the
corners of her eyes, she was too soft to punish her.
"Mom... Don't ignore Melissa. " Melissa tugged at the hem of Tracy's clothes while sobbing. Tracy
seemed to be a little bit pitiful, but she still kept a straight face, lowered her head, looked at her coldly
and said, "You've admitted your mistakes too many times. "
Melissa stared at Tracy with tears in her eyes. Tracy glared at her and said angrily, "But you have done
more wrong things." Looking at Tracy pitifully, Melissa couldn't help but retort, "But, every time I
apologize to mom."
Tracy was so angry that she couldn't say a word. Standing aside, Brody couldn't help laughing. It was
really funny. After noticing the smile on his face, Tracy became angrier. She glared at Melissa and said
coldly, "That's right. I didn't teach you why you should apologize."
After finishing her words angrily, Tracy turned around and was about to leave. Melissa grabbed the
hem of her clothes and said, "I was wrong. Be obedient and promise not to make the same mistake
again."
Tracy stared at her in a daze and asked, "Every time you said that." Melissa knew that she was in the
wrong. She lowered her head, bit her lips and said in a muffled voice, "I promise, this is the last time."
Tracy didn't answer. Melissa let go of the hem of her clothes and shook her hand continuously. Looking
at her pitiful look, Tracy really didn't have the heart to do that, but she decided to give her a
punishment, or she would really be lawless in the future.
Melissa shook Tracy's arm for a long time, but Tracy didn't look back at her. Melissa looked at Brody
with her watery eyes and pitifully asked him for help. Looking at them with a smile, he couldn't help but
step forward and said, "Well, don't be angry!"
Hearing this, Tracy was even angrier. When she was with Ben, Melissa had never been so
domineering like now, and this was the result of his pampering.
"Mom, next time, if I still make mistakes, in the future... From now on... " As Melissa spoke, she
suddenly burst into tears in despair. As a result, both of them were frightened. They looked at Melissa
in panic. Melissa raised her tearful eyes and seriously looked at Tracy. She firmly said, "Mom, if I make
a mistake again, you will never talk to me again. Let Melissa live or die alone. Or you can send me
away or give me to someone else. "
Both Tracy and Brody were stunned by her words. The first one to react was Tracy. She looked at
Melissa helplessly and asked, "Where did you get this idea?"
Looking at Tracy with a pitiful look, Melissa shook her head and said, "If I make mistakes again, you
can leave me. I can promise you that I won't make mistakes again. Don't ignore me."
Tracy looked at Melissa with a bitter smile. Her anger had already dissipated. With a smile, Brody
turned around and walked to Ray, who was lowering his head as if he was thinking about something. In
front of him, he looked at him seriously and whispered, "Do you really want to stay one more year?"
Ray suddenly raised his head and looked at Brody. He hesitated for a moment, but the next second he
received a warning and a pitiful look from Melissa, so he had to nod. With a serious expression on his
face, Brody looked at Tracy and asked for Tracy's opinion. Tracy sighed, let go of Melissa's hand, came
to Ray, and put her hand on Ray's shoulder with worry, "Ray, do you have something on your mind?
Why did you stay one more year for no reason?"
Ray looked at Tracy apologetically and shook his head. "No, I just want to be kept back. I really can't
keep up with my study. It's very hard and I'm very tired every time." Tracy sighed, lost in thought,
wondering what to do.
In fact, the main problem now was not to be kept back, but Ray's mood. When he looked at her
apologetically, she knew. Ray had really grown up and had a heavy heart.
After a long while, she turned to Ray and said in a soft voice, "Ray, you're right. You're still young and
you can go back. But you have to say something in the future, okay?"
Ray looked at Tracy with a complicated expression and nodded. Tracy smiled and said, "Then... Let me
arrange it. " Tracy sighed. Ray nodded and Melissa ran over happily. Looking at Brody's face, she said
excitedly, "And, and... What about the thing Dad promised me? "
Brody frowned, while Tracy's face darkened. She lowered her head, looked at the bright smile on
Melissa's face, bit the words and said, "Melissa!" The smile on Melissa's face suddenly froze. She
raised her head, looked at Tracy timidly and mumbled, "But... That's what Dad promised me. He
promised me before. "
Tracy frowned and refused the idea of Melissa's skipping a grade. "No, don't think I don't know it. Your
brother always helps you with your homework. If you want to skip a grade, have you mastered all the
knowledge now?"
