The God's Boy

Chapter 19

Having discovered so many frightening traits on the Internet, her body trembled unconsciously, not knowing whether it was because of anger or fear.

"Look, now people start to despise family life and family relationships, and then, you see, people will have no fear, whites and blacks will start intermarrying!"

"If you really care about family life and family relationships as you say, why do you still have to mess with other women and put our family in a ridiculous and sad situation?" Daisy seemed to be told by Tom. Stimulated by the family words in the book, she even accused Tom unabashedly. This was the first time she told Tom so bluntly that she knew that he had raised a lover outside.

Daisy's sudden questioning not only stunned Tom, but also surprised others. Daisy seemed to know that she had lost her composure. After she finished speaking, she turned her head to the side and covered her face with her hands without responding.

"As Daisy said, you accused me of being close to Daisy with impure motives, why don't you explain your problem first?" Gatsby looked down at Daisy's back, not knowing what he was thinking, but he still followed his advice. It was planned, and one sentence provoked Tom's anger again.

"This is a matter between me and my wife, don't make unreasonable comments!" Tom deliberately emphasized the word "wife", as if to remind Gatsby, but this made him suddenly realize something.

Tom is accusing Daisy of the ambiguity between Gatsby and Daisy's betrayal of him. He seems to have forgotten his affair with Ms. Myrtle, and he is the first to betray this marriage. There is no right to blame Daisy at all.

Gatsby originally planned to say something to stimulate Tom according to the development of his previous life, but he noticed the change in Tom's expression. After all, he didn't really want to separate Tom and Daisy, so he could only continue: "Daisy Xi never loved you, and my separation from her five years ago gave you an opportunity to not only marry her, but also make her disappear from my life for five years."

Tom was about to explode when he heard the beginning, but he also listened to what Gatsby said later, which not only made him heave a sigh of relief, but also gave him a triumphant sense of victory, but he still looked at Daisy's profile, "Daisy, is that true?" he asked.

Daisy finally reacted when she heard Tom's call, but Tom couldn't see whether she was admitting or denying her reaction, so Tom could only go further and ask: "Daisy, I love you, you should be able to know, I've never had a sleepover at every party, I'll be home..."

Daisy turned to look at Tom, she didn't know what Tom was going to do at the party, even if he did come home, but when did his coat not smell strongly of perfume?Several times, Daisy even found the lip marks on his shirt, but she just didn't want to talk about it, and how could she know nothing like Tom thought.

"Didn't you love me in Aulani too?" Tom was eager to get an answer from Daisy, so he began to recall the past, hoping to remind Daisy of the good memories of their past years, "Then I Didn't you love me the day you were rescued from the bar?"

Tom's words had some effect in the end, and Daisy still looked up at Tom. Tom knew that he still had hope, because Daisy looked at him clearly with reluctance.

"Mr. Gatsby, I want to know, who are you?" Seeing that he had no chance, Tom couldn't help but challenged Gatsby again, "I did some research, you In fact, you are a member of the Meyer Wolf Group, we all know what you are doing, you are just a bootlegger!"

"That's enough Tom, you look like an out-of-control lunatic!" Gatsby didn't respond, but Daisy stood up first, and she walked up to Tom, accusing him obviously because she didn't believe Tom's words.

"It should have been." Gatsby was not angry, he knew that Tom was telling the truth, and Daisy defended him just because he didn't want to believe it. Gatsby himself didn't think it was unforgivable for him to sell bootleg alcohol to make money The mistake is just a gray transaction that cannot be put on the bright side.

After hearing Gatsby's confession, Daisy was a little stunned. She took advantage of the opportunity and sat on the armrest next to Nick, with her back to Gatsby and Tom, looking unbearable.Daisy stretched her hand behind her, and Nick held her slightly trembling hand, giving her silent support, but at this moment, Nick felt a little uneasy.

"You let half of Wall Street come to your party every weekend. I'm surprised he didn't try to pull you into the water." Seeing that Gatsby admitted it, Tom said in a more passionate tone, and turned his head. Looking at Nick, seeing Nick's subtle expression, he quickly came to a guessing conclusion, "My God, he tried..."

Gatsby was not angry when he heard Tom slandering him, but when Tom mentioned Nick, especially when Tom was sure that he had wanted to be against Nick, Gatsby was unexpectedly angry.

"He has nothing to do with these..."

"And your life of drinking and drinking?" Tom sarcastically, this made Gatsby even more uncomfortable, he didn't dare to look at Nick, he was afraid that he would see Nick's look of despair, he took one side of the wine and went to the door for himself Most of the glass, and then drank it down in one gulp regardless of the nature of the alcohol, almost choking himself.

"Do you really think that you are superior to others? You are just an arrogant, rude and ridiculous person. Don't you find it ridiculous to judge a person by their status?" Gatsby lowered his head and growled in a low voice. , he vented the resentment that could not dissipate in his heart.

It’s not that Gatsby doesn’t hate Tom. Daisy was robbed of his love by Tom, and Tom humiliated his life experience more than once, not to mention that his death in the previous life is inseparable from Tom’s intentional framing. Gatsby didn't hate Tom, that would be a lie.

Gatsby always thought that he really let go of everything, his love for Daisy, and his hatred for Tom, but he didn't realize that he just thought highly of himself, and he let go of his love for Daisy, but he The hatred for Tom deep in his heart was not so easy to dissipate.

"What right do you have to talk to me like this? You can't deny that since we were born, you and I are destined to be different, completely different. You are just an uncivilized savage, relying on those unsightly things you earned Packaging yourself with light money, relying on lies and deceit, putting yourself in the circle of our upper class society, you are just a liar!"

Tom unleashed his anger unreservedly, he approached Gatsby step by step, his tone was so aggressive, even at the end he pointed at Gatsby and yelled.

"That's enough! Stop arguing! What's the point?" Daisy finally broke out, her tears streaming down her cheeks, and she grabbed Nick's hand very hard, as if she would just relax a little bit, and she might die If you can't support it, you will fall down.

"Daisy, can't you see who he is now? Do you still love him?" Tom walked up to Daisy, held Daisy's arm tightly, and asked eagerly.

Daisy is very confused now. She didn't think about what she should do, but she just wanted to vent her dissatisfaction. She would not really divorce Tom. Gatsby helped her make Tom change his mind, but really Tom When he said that he still loved her, Daisy felt very uncomfortable when she thought of Tom's lover outside. Facing Tom's questioning, Daisy could only choose to escape.

Daisy broke free from Tom's restraint, and ran out while crying, which made Tom unable to react, and the other people on the side were even more surprised, staring blankly at the opened door, but it was Nick who reacted first, He patted Tom and signaled him to chase after him, and Tom immediately reacted and chased him out.

"I think... we should go back?" Miss Baker first suggested. Everything that happened in just a few hours had already made her feel at a loss. Maybe they should leave here too.

"Of course, but I think I need to wait a little longer. I just drank some wine." Gatsby replied to Baker that he didn't care if he was drunk and driving. This was just an excuse. In fact, he needed some time to recover. Take a look at your own mood, his mood is not stable at the moment.

Baker's expression was not very good when he heard that, but he didn't say anything more. Nick was not looking at anything at the window, and he didn't speak. Gatsby noticed Nick's silence, and he was a little uneasy.

"Are you all right? Did I scare you just now?" Gatsby walked up to Nick. He couldn't see Nick's expression clearly, nor did he know what the other person was thinking.

"No, I just remembered that today is my birthday." Hearing Gatsby's words, Nick slightly turned his head to look at Gatsby. There was nothing wrong with his expression, but a sense of loss.

"Then...Happy birthday?" Gatsby didn't know what to say while holding the wine glass, and finally he could only say a dry blessing. He really didn't expect such a coincidence, and he regretted his carelessness, but he didn't think of it. How important this day is.Nick didn't intend to celebrate anything, after all, he had almost forgotten about birthdays, so he naturally didn't pay attention to such things, and Gatsby's greetings were enough for him, so he responded with a smile Gatsby.

Gatsby looked at the setting sun that was about to set outside the window, and suddenly remembered this day in his previous life,
