Hannah Clarke stayed at the door of the room and didn't go in.
She knew that when Levi came to know that she called James Grayson, he would hate her. However, if she didn't call James Grayson, it would be more serious.
In the world, unsatisfactory events are most likely. We often face such situations. We can't make the best of both. Ultimately, we have to choose one and lose one.
James Grayson was nearby. He came to her place in ten minutes.
He came out of the elevator. His whole body was covered with angry flame, his eyes were sharp and his face was livid.
Hannah Clarke had a bad premonition. She walked to him and said, "Talk to Levi softly."
"It's my business. I'm afraid it has nothing to do with you." James Grayson's voice was cold. His eyes were sharp, and his bad temper can be seen.
"Levi doesn't want to stay by your side. If you hit him, he certainly doesn't want to stay by your side." Hannah Clarke said softly.
"If he doesn't want to be with me, who does he want to stay with? You? Who are you and where do you come from?" James Grayson said angrily.
"I didn't say he wanted to stay by my side. If I really thought that, I would not call Mr. Grayson to come here." Hannah Clarke explained.
"If you didn't think so. How did Levi know you're here? If you really have such a deep mind, and if you keep playing these tactics, it will only not only harm others. It will harm yourself even more." James Grayson despised her.
"It's not that I told Levi about my hotel. He just listened to my friend's conversation. James Grayson, don't do this. Levi is still a small child. He can't understand the adults' suffering. If you do this, it will only make him sadder and stubborn." Hannah Clarke said softly.
"It's none of your business that he will be sad or not. Get out of the way." James Grayson snapped.
James Grayson was too angry. She saw this and just didn't dare to let James Grayson take Levi back.
She stood still.
Levi Grayson heard a quarrel outside, opened the door saw James Grayson, and closed the door quickly.
James Grayson walked forward, pushed the door, and glared at Levi Grayson.
Indeed, his act of closing the door made James Grayson angrier. In order to find Levi Grayson, James Grayson has used all his contacts and asked many people to find him. But Levi Grayson saw him and he even closed the door on his face.
James Grayson was furious and kicked the door open.
Levi Grayson hid behind the bed in fear.
Hannah Clarke rushed in, "James Grayson, if you want to talk, please talk well."
James Grayson glared at Levi Grayson maliciously, and said in a cold voice, "I'll discipline my son. I don't need any irrelevant person to interfere in my affairs."
Levi Grayson shook his head in fear. His eyes were red, like a pitiful rabbit.
Hannah Clarke thought of what Levi Grayson just said to her, [I won't depend on him. Even if he abandons me later, I won't feel sad and pitiful. I want to adapt to the environment. If I can't, I'll change the place and environment.].
Levi Grayson was just seven years old. A little child said such strong words, which made her heart ached.
Hannah Clarke rushed to Levi Grayson and hugged him, "James Grayson, can you give me five minutes?"
"You all alike! You, Scarlett, Levi, Berlin all are alike. You also manipulated a child, just like Scarlett Evan." James Grayson snapped, pulled out his belt, waited for Levi Grayson, and warned, "Are you coming here or not."
"I don't want to go back. I want to go home. I miss my parents. I don't want to go with you." Levi Grayson cried sadly.
"Home?" James Grayson lost his last sense of reasoning. He held the belt and hit him.
Hannah Clarke held Levi tightly. The belt touched her arm, and it turned red instantly.
James Grayson didn't lose his breath. He waved his leather belt again and scolded, "I provide you with food, shelter and study. Didn't I give you a home?
Just because of my love, you become willful and lost your temper. You dared to run away from home.
Anyone can come and interfere with my life, mess my life.
You want to go home, I'll let you go home, let you go to your real home, let you go to your mother."
Hannah Clarke hugged Levi Grayson tightly and endured it all. With his repeated strokes, her back was full of the imprints as a thick red welt on the skin.
Fortunately, he hit her, and it couldn't reach the child. Her child's skin is so thin and tender. She knew that he can't bear it for a while. Levi Grayson was fine, so she was fine too.
However, James Grayson's last words were really painful for Levi Grayson and her.
He said he would let Levi find his mother. Did he want to kill Levi Grayson?
If there was a bit of Bella in his heart, he shouldn't say that.
He knew how much Bella cared about this child.
She couldn't control it and tears flowed down.
Levi Grayson also cried bitterly. He not only didn't beg for mercy but also become more stubborn. "You beat me to death. I will go to find my mother. I don't want to stay with you anymore. You just live with Berlin and Aunt Scarlett. Live happily together."
James Grayson threw the belt on the ground, pulled Hannah Clarke apart, held Levi Grayson's small shoulder, and pulled him to his side fiercely, "Don't you think you have done anything wrong? You know how worried I was when you ran away without any reason."
"Your worry didn't mean you love me, pity me, or feel distressed for me, but to beat me. I can't see your worry." Levi Grayson cried.
"If I won't beat you how can you remember next time? I found you this time. Maybe I can find you next time, but if something goes wrong before I find you, is it still useful for me to find you?" James Grayson's said.
"So what, if something goes wrong? I will go to accompany my mother. My mother is very lonely in heaven. Levi will go to accompany her." Levi Grayson said fearlessly.
James Grayson clenched his teeth, and the fog spread in his eyes. The red color in his eyes became deeper. He said seriously, "Who said your mother is in heaven? Your mother is not dead at all. I have been waiting for her to come back. If you run away, and something happens to you, you will never be able to see your mother again."
"You are a liar." Levi Grayson choked.
"Dad isn't a liar. Your mother is really alive." James Grayson also choked, and a tear came out of his right eye.
This single tear carried too much pain, nostalgia, and helplessness.
"If mom is alive, why doesn't she come back?" Levi didn't understand.
"Dad doesn't know, but Dad believes that your mother will come back one day because there are people she loves and people she can't forget, as well as her responsibilities and aspirations." James Grayson said definitely.
Levi lowered his head and cried.
Hannah Clarke turned her face away and also cried. Her sour heart was about to flood her.
"Let's go home." James Grayson's voice was hoarse.
Levi Grayson looked at Hannah Clarke.
Hannah Clarke's shirt was cut into strips and there were many bloodstains on her back.
"Dad, take Hannah to the hospital first. Hannah is injured." Levi Grayson said with concern.
Hannah Clarke's heart was sadder, and cried harder.
Her child... is really a kind-hearted person.
At this time, he still knows how to care for others.
She wiped the tears on Levi Grayson's face and said softly, "Auntie is OK. It's a little injury. It will be healed if I rest for a while. Levi goes home with his dad. Don't run away from home again. Grow up safely."
