Leo's praise was a supreme recognition to Megan, and she felt proud of it.
"Uncle praised me. Aren't I great, Mommy?"
Megan seemed more satisfied.
"Megan is great. Megan is the smartest. Tell Mommy stories every night, ok?"
Winnie smiled. She had wanted to cultivate the reading ability of Megan, but she had been listening to
the story but did not want to read by herself, now, Leo had helped her to solve this problem.
"Yes, I'm Mommy. I'll tell you a story."
Megan showed a bright smile, revealing her dimples on the cheeks.
Winnie and Leo laughed happily under the influence of Megan, which was a harmonious scene.
Brian had been gloomy since he heard that Leo lived in next door to Winnie. He frowned and his dark
eyes were horrible. Even when he went back to the old house and met her Grandpa, he did not feel
better.
After lunch, three generations of the family basked in the sun in the garden of the old house. Grandpa
was sitting on a chair, Brian was standing next to him, and Luke was playing football not far away.
Brian's Grandpa, Felix Bennett, was 88 years old. He was healthy and still looked strong. His face
showed the vicissitudes of life, but her sharp and wise eyes were still bright and delicate.
He was dignified and serious, and only when he talked with Luke could he show his kindness.
"Luke is in a good mood today. Has he been stay with you for these days?"
Felix asked.
He did not know what Luke looked like in Brian's house, but he seldom smiled so happily and was
seldom as lively as children of the same age.
Luke changed obviously, but he was getting better and better, so Felix wanted to know the reason.
"No, he has been in a classmate's home. He likes that classmate and likes her mother."
"Brian replied in a low voice.
Being mentioned by Grandpa, Brian seemed to have felt it more obvious. Luke changed a lot, which
might be the credit of Winnie.
Thinking of Winnie, Brian clenched his fist feeling like his heart beat stopped for a while.
"At a classmate's home? Live there?"
Felix did not understand.
"Yes, he lives there. Luke said it was more like home. His classmate is Megan, who lives with her
Mommy and is the child of a single parent family. Her Mommy works for our company and is a software
engineer."
Brian roughly said about Winnie and Megan. Since Luke would live there, it was necessary to tell that
to grandpa, so as not to worry grandpa.
"An employee of the Bennet Group? Are they good to Luke?"
Felix screwed his eyebrows and continued to ask.
"Yes, she treats him as her son. Look at Luke, and you will know it. Luke becomes more cheerful and
loves study. He learns computer software every night. I think it is good, so I let him live there."
Brian’s black eyes fixed on Luke. He had never observed the child so seriously. He felt happy by
watching him like this.
"Penny agreed?"
Felix continued to ask.
"None of her business."
Brian said in a cold voice.
"What is your relationship to this software engineer?"
Felix directly asked the crux of the matter.
In his opinion, Penny was not Luke's mother, but the child did not know about that, so she had the right
to participate in everything about the child.
But now Brian was indifferent, so the problem was about the software engineer.
"Nothing between us. She is my staff."
Brian understood his Grandpa's meaning, so he answered without a bit of hesitation. Until now he had
no relationship with any woman, and Winnie would not be that exception.
A woman who had divorced, a woman with children, a woman who lived by cheating men was less
likely to have a relationship with him.
As for sex, it was just a grown-up game. It didn't mean anything.
"......"
"Investigate her, if the person with ulterior motives uses Luke, you will suffer."
Felix paused for a Moment and then reminded as if he was not satisfied to Brian's answer.
"Don't worry, Grandpa. It's okay."
Brian answered with certainty, which he did not know why.
"......"
As Felix was to speak again, Brian's phone rang, so he stopped.
Brian took out the mobile phone and picked it up.
"What is it?"
There was expectation in his cold eyes.
"Mr. Bennet, I have checked out the matter of Leo. The house was occupied a few days ago, and Leo
bought it at a high price .He was probably aiming at Winnie."
Albert told Brian the results of the investigation.
"I see."
Brian's voice was colder. He hung up the phone with anger in his eyes.
Leo really took great pains, and he thought of this method. But he knew Winnie was a cheater, why did
he try to get close to her? Even if it was revenge, he did not have to do that and even used the child.
Brian thought, but once again remembered that Megan turned and put her head on Leo’s shoulder.
This picture made his hand unconsciously increase the strength of holding the phone.
"Leave after supper."
Felix said and he felt that Brian was in no mood to talk further.
"I can't have dinner here tonight because I have work to do."
Brian refused. He had to send Luke back to Winnie's.
Felix got up slowly, and turned to another topic.
"Go back early if you want to."
He straightened up, turned and said.
"Take some times to see your father. Something needs to get over."
The sound was small but powerful. And then he walked with steady steps toward the room.
Brian frowned and kept silent. Some things were not easy to get over.
Winnie wanted to ask Leo to stay for lunch, but Leo had something urgent, but Leo did not miss the
opportunity and would have dinner with her.
He went out in a hurry to finish the matter and bought Winnie's favorite vegetables and fruits. When he
returned, Winnie had not yet started to cook dinner.
"I didn't expect you to come back so early. I'm going to make dinner."
Winnie was to go to the kitchen, but Leo caught her in time.
"Winwin, let me cook dinner tonight."
Leo's tone was unusually soft, just because he happened to hold Winnie's hand.
It took him back four years. It was the same as it had been four years ago. It made him throb
inexplicably.
Yes, he still loved Winnie, as if he had never moved on. Because he loved her, he hated her when he
did not know the truth.
"Ok, I will help."
Winnie quickly withdrew her hand, feeling embarrassed.
Four years ago, this warm hand made her happy, but now after so long time and so many painful
things, she was not used to this feeling.
"When did you learn to cook?"
To ease the tension in the kitchen, Winnie asked.
"I've been learning it for years, and I will cook when I get bored at home."
Leo said, in fact, he learnt to cook was because he wanted to look for the feeling when Winnie cooked
for him.
"You are quite skilled."
Unlike someone who could not do anything but messed around in the kitchen.
Someone? Who? Why compare them? Winnie realized that she thought of someone she should not
think of, so she quickly shook off her thought in the brain.
Both men hated her deeply and hurt her. She should treat them like enemies deep down.
"It's all right. But you are luckily, no woman has ever tasted my cooking."
Leo showed a bright and happy smile.
The last time he cooked with Winnie was abroad, when they had just fallen in love, and he could do
nothing but watch.
It had been one of his wishes over the years to be in the same kitchen with Winnie again, and today he
finally realized it. He must make the food more delicious.
"It seems an honour to me that such a good thing happens to me. So it seems like I've done more than
just bad things in my previous life, I've also had occasional consciences."
Winnie could not help teasing, she was not sure this honor was a blessing or a curse.
She could not judge if that Leo suddenly changed had something to do with Penny's revenge.
She only knew that she had not encountered good things, only knew that the good things she
encountered were sugar-coated bullets.
"Winwin, four years ago..."
Leo understood the meaning in Winnie’s words. Thinking of those things she encountered, Leo was
heartache. Hearing Winnie’s words, he was unbearable.
He wanted to say sorry for what happened four years ago, but Winnie did not give him a chance.
"Leo, whatever happened four years ago has passed and I don't want to mention it. If you really want to
continue this relationship as a friend, I am ok with it."
Winnie forced herself to speak gently. What happened four years ago was not that she did not want to
bring it up again. Just mentioning it once was equal to peeling off the blood scab of her wound again.
She did not want to bear the repeated pain.
Winnie understood that if Leo would hurt her again, it was the destiny that she could not avoid.
Even if she and Leo were not friends, Leo and Penny would not spare her.
Now she just took a bet, in case Leo was not scheming, she could have a friend.
"Ok, let’s cook."
Leo forced out a smile.
The fact that Winnie did not want to mention what had happened four years ago proved that she did not
move on. It proved that she was still resentful of him. She had no others choice but be friends with him.
Leo understood it, but he could do nothing about it. He could only tell himself to be patient and take
time. Only Winnie forgave him, he could say that he loved her.
