Brian heard every word that Megan said. If it was a show, she could not play so real without rehearsal.
What happened today was an accident. It happened suddenly and Winnie had no time to let her child
help her. So what she said was true?
The idea suddenly occurred to Brian, but the next moment he dismissed it. It was possible that Megan
did not know anything about Winnie.
Yes, Brian was sure. Megan did not know that.
"Uncle..."
Megan wanted to say something and hoped Uncle would not make a hard time to Mommy, but she
stopped suddenly.
"What do you want to say?
"Uncle, if only you could be like Uncle Leo. Uncle Leo talks to Mommy gently, and he was very
considerate. He cooks for Mommy and helps Mommy take care of me. Most importantly, he never gets
mad at Mommy."
Megan stopped here deliberately, took a look at Brian and found he was obviously not happy.
Megan continued.
"Uncle, don't be angry. You're Mommy's boss. It's normal to be angry with Mommy."
"Uncle, since you have a wife and a family, you don't want to be my Daddy. What do you think of Uncle
Leo? He has no family and no wife, so he can be my Daddy."
Megan stopped again and looked at Brian with inquiring eyes.
A moment later.
"If Mommy is with Uncle Leo, Mommy won't have to work to earn money and won't be scolded by you.
She just needs to stay at home. Uncle Leo will make money."
Megan said proudly, not because she came up with a good idea, but because Brian's expression
became more and more strange.
"That's a great idea. I'll tell Mommy."
Megan ran immediately to the kitchen, and Brian was silent with a cold face.
He heard what Megan said. He did not give any answer to the child because he was afraid of hurting
her heart again. Because he could not be with Winne, so he could not give any promise.
But at the thought that Winnie was really with Leo, he felt annoyed.
After dinner, Brian went back to the bedroom. He couldn't go to work in his present condition, so he had
to arrange his work.
After Winnie cleared the tableware, arranged the two children to go to the study to do their homework,
she went to Brian's room.
"Mr. Bennet, I wanted to thank you for saving me today."
Anyway, Winnie thought she should say thank you to him.
Brian did not say a word but play with the mobile phone, as if he did not hear that.
Winnie was embarrassed.
"Mr. Bennet, have your work arranged?"
Winnie had to change the topic to ease the embarrassment.
"Yes."
Brian answered indifferently.
"I will go to work tomorrow, why don’t you go home?"
Winnie tentatively asked. He needed someone to take care of him, but she did not have the time.
Brian suddenly stared at Winnie without words.
"I... If you don't want to go home, let Klara come, or Albert."
"Winnie, you know I was injured because of you. Do you think it is appropriate to do so?"
Brian asked in angry voice, staring at Winnie.
"I... I know it's not, but I have to work tomorrow."
Winnie was embarrassed. She couldn't come back to take care of Brian.
"Your work is not that important. I have arranged. You will rest as I rest, until I recover."
Brian said domineeringly. He had known that Winnie would use work as an excuse to keep a distance
with him, so he arranged it in advance
"Since you said so, I'll rest."
Winnie had no choice but to stay at home to take care of him, as Brian had arranged.
"I'll get the water. You should take your medicine."
Winnie turned to go out. When she came back, Brian was on the phone.
"Mind your own business and be your doctor."
Brian said coldly. Winnie guessed it was the doctor called Kevin Burns.
Winnie put down the water, found the medicine, and prepared the medicine as the doctor's advice.
Brian put down the phone, took the medicine handed over by Winnie, and took it in.
"You know the doctor?"
Winnie asked, in order to avoid embarrassment.
But such a casual question made Brian suddenly look at Winnie.
"What, looking for new target?"
Brian said coldly.
Winnie became mad and wanted to say dirty word as if she had bit by a dog.
"Yeah, I'm looking for new targets all the time. If possible, if Kevin Burns is your friend, please introduce
him to me."
Winnie felt better by saying so.
She didn’t want to provoke Brian and didn’t want to provoke Penny. She just wanted to work hard and
lead a quiet life, as well as watched the children grow up.
However, Brian did not let her have a quiet life, always reminding her that she was a cheater and that
she was a disgusting woman.
"I have not seen so shameless woman as you. Winnie, you child is big now, aren’t you afraid it brings
shame on the child?"
Brian said with anger in his eyes.
"I knew you'd never seen a woman as shameless as me, so I'll show you. Mr. Bennet..."
"Shut up..."
Brian shouted angrily as he reached out and dragged Winnie to the bed, and then rode on her.
His foot was hurt, but there was no problem to punish her.
Winnie was pressed under his body, suddenly feeling difficulty in breathing and her heart beat faster.
She hated to have close contact with this man, but every time inexplicably she would be out of control.
"Get up, the children will come in."
Winnie put her hands against Brian's chest, preventing him from coming any closer.
"None of those new targets you're after has more money than me."
Brian angrily said.
It had been a long time he had not been so close to this woman, Brian could not control his hormones.
He couldn't figure out why he wanted to conquer this woman.
"This is my personal affair, and I don't want to discuss it with you. Mr. Bennet, you promised me to
respect me, but you..."
"I didn't."
Brian denied it.
“You did. When you refused to divorce, refused me to be your wife, you promised me.”
Winnie did not dare to vent her anger, afraid that Brian lost reason and released his desire.
"Hum..."
Brian show contempt in his eyes.
"Your still have your ambition? Winnie, do you need me to warn you again?"
"No, I know I don't deserve it. But I will never be any man's woman."
Winnie's voice was not big, but firm. There was challenge in her eyes to Brian.
It seemed that she could not be low-key. In the face of that, she had no idea how to deal with it.
No matter what she said or did, Brian could find fault with her. She was a bad woman in Brian’s eyes
and she had no chance to change that.
"I..."
Brian was about to warn her, the phone rang.
Brian did not see the caller ID but directly picked up the phone because he was angry.
"What is it?”
As Brian said angrily, he was staring at Winnie.
"What's wrong, Brian? Am I bothering you?"
A woman's voice was soft on the other end of the phone.
Winnie heard it clearly. The sound was as sweet as honey. There was like magic in it with fear and
grievances, which made people distressed to hear that.
Brian changed greatly.
His face suddenly relaxed, and his cold eyes became warm as if there was sunshine. And he seemed
to dodge.
Dodge? Winnie thought intently, why did he dodge?
"No, it didn't bother me. Are you up? Did you sleep well last night?"
Brian’s tone made Winnie stunned.
It was so sweet, so sexy, so mellow, so manly, and most of all, caring, loving.
Was this the man Brian she knew? Was he Brian who had been cold all the time?
Winnie involuntarily became upset. How many good deeds she had to do to exchange for Brian’s
gentle attitude?
It would be realized until the day she died, because she wasn't the woman on the phone.
Winnie suddenly felt grieved. This man pressed her under his body, but he was on the phone with
another woman.
Winnie endured it and felt her heart hurt.
She pushed Brian down with force and then left angrily.
Winnie went back to her room and lied on the bed. She could not calm down.
She kept wondering who the woman on the phone was. What relationship was it with Brian?
That woman's address to Brian was intimate. They must not be families, then there was only one
possibility – she was his girlfriend.
Winnie remembered she accidentally heard Brian on the phone like this several times before. It was not
difficult to know that it was the same person.
It seemed that Brian loved a woman deeply. That was why he said that neither she nor Penny were
worthy of being his wife.
Winnie felt breathing difficult at the thought of that.
Finally she went downstairs to take a walk.
Walking in the night, she stretched out to touch the green plants in the community, but she was still
thinking of Brian’s gentle eyes.
That woman was lucky, making that cold and proud man become sunshine for her.
Winnie gratuitously envied that woman for she made the cold Brian only be gentle to her.
"Winwin, why are you alone? Where are the kids?"
Leo unexpectedly appeared in front of Winnie, which stunned Winnie.
"They are upstairs doing their homework. I come down and get some air. Have you just come back
from work?"
Winnie asked with a smile.
"Yes, I just finished an important meeting."
"Let's go and sit in the pavilion for a while."
Leo invited Winnie and did not want to miss the opportunity for two people to get along alone.
"Ok."
Winnie did not refuse, but inexplicably followed Leo to the pavilion.
