After Vanessa left Winnie's room, Winnie continued to check on Wendy and Jonny.
The results, however, were worse each time, leaving her no excuse to refute the second possibility.
Jonny had been to her country before and was an exchange student in the same school and class as
Wendy. It now appeared that they knew each other even before she knew Brian.
Winnie had always felt that Wendy was a person with conscience, but now it seemed that she was
even more shameless and despicable than Penny.
Even though she had a boyfriend, she was in relationship with Brian for so many years.
‘Brian, you are smart, but you got cheated by Wendy? Should I pity you?’
Winnie felt sorry for Brian. The death of his mother had changed his attitude towards life. He only had
hatred in eyes, ignoring other things more important.
If he knew he was cheated by Wendy, would he forgive her?
Everything was clear. Winnie then checked Jonny's entry record. Sure enough, Jonny was in B City
and had just arrived for two days.
Winnie was sure that it was Jonny and his daughter she saw today.
It made her intranquil. If she wanted to go against Wendy, it would be dug out and Brian will be sad
about it.
The last thing she wanted was for Brian to get hurt.
However how Winnie should deal with Wendy?
Winnie did not know what to do and finally had to give up. She just assumed she didn't know anything
and let nature take its course.
On Sunday, Winnie planned to stay at home, but there was a visitor.
Winnie stood at the door and looked at the man standing outside in surprise.
"Chairman, why are you here?"
"It was you who said that I can come to you if I get tired of eating food at home. You said that you
would cook for me."
Felix said seriously, but Winnie felt it was a joke.
"Yes, you are right. You come to dinner, right?"
"Come on in."
Winnie smiled and asked Felix into the house.
"I haven't seen the kids for days. I heard you had them, so I am there, so that I can taste your cooking."
Said Felix as he entered.
By this time the two kids had seen him and ran to hug him.
"Great Grandpa."
"Great Grandpa."
"Well, you look good."
Felix gave a rare smile. Looking at the two healthy and lively kids, he felt quite satisfied and happy.
Sometimes he wondered if two kids would hate him if he deprived them of their happiness, and if they
would lose such hearty laugh.
But his reason always prevailed.
"Be careful not to knock great grandpa over."
Winnie reminded the two kids, after all, he is over 90 years old. Even if he was healthy, he could not
stand the two kids’ toss.
Vanessa came over and was surprised to see Felix.
Though uncomfortable, she said hello politely.
"Hello, Grandpa Felix."
Vanessa said with a slight bow.
"Will I interrupt your studies?"
Felix stopped his smile. Seeing Vanessa made him think of what happened in the old house. He felt he
was cruel that he had been silent that day to her.
"No, please have a seat."
Vanessa knew what she said was not true.
In fact, she was upset to see Felix, because her sister faced discrimination in the Bennet family. But
now it was fine, she did not need to adapt to other's disposition.
Felix took two kids to the sofa. At this time, Butler Lowe put the gift down.
"Chairman, I will wait for you downstairs."
He was to leave, but Winnie stopped him.
"Don't go, Butler Lowe. I will go to cook, you chat with Chairman and help me look after at the kids.
Have lunch here and try my cooking."
Winnie was enthusiastic. In her eyes, there was no distinction between people. Felix could eat her
cooking, so could Butler Lowe.
"Stay then since Winwin asked you to stay."
Felix said to Butler Lowe.
However, he did not know whether it was a deliberate or inadvertent address, which made Winnie
freeze for a moment.
Felix always called her Winnie, and even called her by her full name when he was angry. He had never
called her Winwin. She did not know what happened and he seemed to be weird today.
Would he not be hostile to her because she had broken up with Brian? Or did he have something to tell
her?
"Well, then, I'll play with the kids."
Butler Lowe could not refuse so he stayed.
"Chairman, you chat, I go to cook."
With that, Winnie went to the kitchen. Felix said he would eat here, she’d better get the dinner ready.
"Grandpa Felix, you play with the kids. I'll go and get some tea."
Vanessa made an excuse to leave. She did not want to chat with Felix, because she was not sincere.
Not much later, Vanessa brought tea and then went to the kitchen to help her sister to get lunch ready.
Felix and Butler Lowe were alone in the living room.
Fortunately, Winnie asked Butler Lowe to stay, or Felix would embarrassed.
"Luke, how's your study going?"
Felix began to chat with the kids, using the time to learn more about their situation.
"It's good. I have a game recently and I'm working on it."
Luke answered him while playing.
He was also surprised by his great grandpa's sudden arrival today.
"Are you confident?”
Felix asked gently.
"Of course, as long as I work hard, I think I can win an award."
Luke answered confidently, and then he continued to say.
"My mother said I can take part in as many competitions as possible to train me before I go to primary
school. When I go to primary school, there will be fewer competitions and I have to focus on my
studies."
"Great Grandpa, how about we exchange gifts?"
Luke came to Felix, looking at him with expectation in his big eyes.
"Exchange gifts? What gifts?"
Felix did not understand the world of kids. He did not know what Luke meant.
"All the certificates and trophies I get from now on will go to you."
Luke said.
"What do you want from me in exchange for your certificate?"
Felix asked Luke.
"It is simple to you but important to me."
Luke understood the strategy of speaking. Only by saying the importance of what he wanted, could he
make his grandfather pay attention to it.
"Great Grandpa, I want you to accept my mom."
It sounded powerful and it shocked Felix.
Felix stood there, not knowing what to say to him.
Although he knew himself in his trap, the key was that he painstakingly set the trap.
Just when Felix was not sure how to answer, Megan came over.
"Great Grandpa, I told my mom that from now on I will take part in various language competitions. If I
ever win a prize, I'll give it to you, can you accept mom?"
Megan had been playing, but she came to help when she understood her brother’s meaning.
The two kids kept staring at Felix, expecting an immediate positive answer from their great grandpa.
Felix was embarrassed and for the first time he did not know what to do in front of the kids.
He looked at Butler Lowe, but to no avail; after all, Butler Lowe could not make decisions for him.
"Great Grandpa, is it not enough? If it is not enough, I will study hard, and when I grow up, I will be
admitted to the National Academy of Translation and Interpreting for the president and the premier.
Then I'll be a credit to the Bennet family, and you will forget about mom's shortcomings."
Megan said while embracing Felix, just as she was going to continue, Winnie came over.
"You two play by yourselves and leave Grandpa alone."
Winnie spoke to help Felix, otherwise Felix could not give an answer.
In fact, Winnie heard what the two kids said. She knew that Felix could not give an answer, so she said
to help him out.
Megan said she could study hard to make up for the shortcomings of her mother. If Megan could study
hard because of it, Winnie would be gratified, but she did not feel that she had any shortcomings.
She felt it was good enough to get by on her own.
Winnie chatted a few words with Felix and then went back to the kitchen to continue cooking.
Lunch was soon ready. There was meat and vegetables.
Everyone sat around the table and lunch began.
"Chairman, these are all home-cooked dishes. I don't know if they fit to your appetite. You taste each
one and give me opinion."
Winnie said tactfully, afraid that Felix would not tell her it did not meet his appetite. In fact, she was very
confident about her cooking, but she did not know whether others liked it or not.
"Ok, I'll try them all."
Felix picked up some green bamboo shoots in his mouth to taste it.
Although it was only a light dish, Winnie made it special. Felix did not open his mouth to comment, but
nodded and continued to taste.
"This is brisket?"
Felix picked up a piece of beef, took a look and put it in his mouth.
He was touched. The beef was soft and it was easy for the nonagenarian to chew.
"Well, this is stewed brisket with tomatoes. I'm afraid the brisket is too hard, so I cooked it with a
pressure cooker. How is it? Can you chew it?"
Winnie asked uncertainly.
She had put effort into the meal. It was nutritious and suitable for the elderly.
"Well, yes. I can chew it."
Felix continued to taste.
"Good, all of them. It suits my taste. I have not come in vain."
"Eat, everybody. Let’s eat together."
Felix's face softened at last. He ate every dish, and every one fit to his taste. He even thought it was
better than the meal of the restaurant.
