Back in the residential area of ​​East Egg, just after Daisy thought that today passed like this again, Tom suddenly asked her, "Who is that Gatsby? How did you know each other?" He said in a tone, "Is this a big bootlegger?"

"Isn't Nick's friend okay?" Daisy was happy when she saw that Tom finally couldn't help asking her, but she still kept a straight face on purpose and defended Gatsby, "As for bootleggers, they are serious." businessman."

"My dear Daisy, you are being cheated. Many of these upstarts are big bootleggers, you know." Tom deliberately softened his tone.

"Gatsby is not, I believe him." Daisy answered immediately, vowing.She was very happy to see the anger in her husband's eyes.He finally knew how she felt every time she saw him answering a phone call and leaving in a hurry.

"And if he is, what can he take from me. I'm just a married woman," Daisy said deliberately.But in the past few days, she also felt that Gatsby no longer had that obsession with her, as if something had changed him.But even if the former lover can't be reunited, the current husband must be in the palm of his hand.

Daisy is always the smartest girl.She put Gatsby in the perfect place - to stimulate her husband, to let him know that there is more to bees and butterflies than just before marriage.And she didn't do anything deviant. Even if Tom finds out later, it's because he was jealous and wronged a good person, and it's all his fault anyway.

Why are you so unruly.Tom wanted to say that, but he couldn't.This is a game between the two husbands and wives, whoever messes up first will lose.

"Daisy, my baby." Tom looked at Daisy sincerely with his black eyes, his usually fierce eyes were now full of relationship with Daisy, his voice was hoarse, "I Caring for you, bootleggers, eh, I mean upstarts, they just made their fortunes out of lies and luck. If they hurt you with bad intentions, I'll die. Promise Me, don't contact that upstart again."

What Buchanan said was not a lie. He was still very rare for Daisy, a girl with good education, family background, and good looks.It's just that I occasionally make mistakes that men make.

Daisy didn't speak, her eyes flicked over her rose garden, over the scorching lawn, and then over the tangled grass piles on the seashore in hot weather.She saw a small boat with white wings moving slowly against the background of the cool blue sky, and she suddenly remembered that when she first came to East Egg, Tom often took her to play by the sea in a small boat.

Daisy relented.

She suddenly felt a little tired and didn't know what she was insisting on now.So she said, "Tom, how about we go on a trip at the end of the month? This time we will go to Europe for fun." She didn't want to worry about his muddleheaded things in the past few years, and wanted to start over in a different environment.

"It just so happens that my daughter is over three years old now, and our family hasn't had a good official trip yet." Daisy returned to her usual sweet tone.She thought in her heart, promise me, then I am willing to let everything go.

Tom didn't know why Daisy suddenly mentioned travel, but he could hear the compromise in her tone.Did she agree not to meet Gatsby?Tom, who can't get any sweets, thinks, since Daisy has already compromised, why go on a trip.He couldn't bear Lytle's hot temper and Sophie's pretty face.

So Tom said what he regretted most in his life, "No. Cough, I mean it's in such a hurry, where is the fun, it's better to stay in New York and make plans."

Daisy turned her head and stared blankly at Tom, who was still young and strong. Tom, I really doubt that you ever loved me?

"Of course I love you," it turned out that Daisy asked the question in her heart and was heard by Tom, "I love you and my daughter the most in this world."

"You love me!" Daisy chewed out the phrase word by word. She was like an irritated cat, arching her back and waving sharp claws that had never been seen before fiercely at Tom, " You love me for leaving the house at dinner time and time again and coming back the next day, and you love me for letting other pretty girls get scratches on you!"

Daisy mentioned the last thing she wanted to think about, "Tom, you love me when you ask the hotel waiter to go for a drive in the middle of the night on our honeymoon!"

Tom Buchanan has never seen such a painful Daisy, it seems that the next second this woman will be crushed by the pain in her body.Daisy like this was very strange to him, but it made him feel a little distressed.

But what Daisy said were all facts, and he couldn't deny that he had done something wrong, so he comforted her and told her to "stop thinking wildly".

"I love you, Daisy. And though I do goofy things now and then, I always look back, and I always love you in my heart."

Daisy said she was not moved by this, and dropped her voice a notch, filling the wide room with embarrassing contempt. "Huh, stupid. Tom, do you remember why we left Chicago? I thought you remembered the story of that little prank."

Daisy didn't know what to think of, she said blankly, "Yeah, how could I fall in love with you?" Then she seemed to be talking to herself, "Did I never love you?" If so That way, I don't have to get hurt anymore.

"Really, Daisy, didn't you love at Kepiolani too?" asked Tom, on a very sweet trip, "and when I took you off the yacht, didn't let Don't you love me when your shoes are wet?" There was tenderness in his hoarse voice, "Daisy?"

"But, but, Tom, you, would you like to leave New York at once? . . . "

Tom hadn't answered when the phone in the house rang again.

The irritating sound of the phone seemed to break a certain thread in Daisy's mind, which was already tense.

Daisy looked at Tom, who was subconsciously preparing to answer the phone, and said loudly, "So this is your you love me! Tom, how can you do this!"

The anger that this beautiful woman had accumulated in secret for an unknown amount of time finally broke out, she gave up her usual disguise, and said eccentrically, "If this makes you love me, that's fine, I'll go to West Egg later to watch the banquet Is there any gentleman on the street who would like to accompany a poor woman to go shopping and have a meal, by the way, to talk about life."

Then Daisy changed her tone again, her words were like a cuckoo crying blood, "I regret it, Tom. I really don't love you anymore!"

The heat, Daisy's crying, and the incessant ringing of the bell wore away Tom's patience little by little, and he said softly just now, "What about you, what about you and that Gatsby?" You didn't refuse him to court you like that, even when I came, he seemed to be indifferent. Look at what inexplicable things you have done." Speaking of this, Buchanan's anger was also up.Seeing the familiarity of those two people, he couldn't believe it was because Nick knew each other.

"Oh, Tom," said Daisy calmly, "make yourself better, or ask the butler to make you a mint drink, and then you'll feel so stupid." What could she have with Gatsby, said To be honest, the two of them hadn't even been alone!

"Self-made!" said Tom, flushed in disbelief, ["I think the most fashionable thing to do now is to play deaf and dumb and let some cat or dog come out of nowhere to flirt with your wife. Well, if that's the way to go Hipster, you can exclude me..."]

"There is a limit to your madness. Now, go and answer your phone!"
