Penny looked at Winnie and then at Brian. Then she said.
"Honey, it is family affair, let’s go inside and talk."
"Say it right here."
Brian said impatiently.
"But..."
"You talk. I'll go upstairs."
Winnie was sensible and left.
Brian hopped to the sofa and sat down.
"Say it now, I have work to do."
"Dad invited you to a dinner party at my house."
Whispered Penny.
"Do you think I can go in this state? That's all you're asking for? Don't tell me it is an excuse."
Brian asked in a deep voice with annoy in his eyes.
"Not now, next weekend. Dad said you are busy, so he tells you in advance."
Penny calmly said. She had prepared in advance, so she was no panic in the face of Brian's questions.
"We'll see."
Brian didn't say no outright because it was part of the contract.
Penny was disappointed about the answer Brian gave, but she dared not show it.
"Brian, you are injured and can't work. You'd better go home and I'll look after you."
For Penny, this was a great opportunity to get along with Brian. As long as she took care of him with
her heard, Brian would found she was good.
"You go back."
Brian rejected Penny. He just wanted to be quiet and did not want Penny to play up to him.
"Brian..."
Penny begged again, but before she finished her words, Brian looked at her coldly. She could only give
up.
"All right, I'll go back first."
After Penny walked out of Winnie's house, she showed ferocious hatred. She once again thought it
was Winnie's fault. Before Winnie showed up, he was not as indifferent as now to her.
She had to get rid of Winnie.
Penny went to the elevator door as she was thinking. Leo’s voice was heard from behind.
"Penny."
Leo called her coldly, with anger in eyes.
"Leo? Aren't you at work?"
Asked Penney, alarmed.
"To put off work for you. Come with me. We need to talk."
Leo said firmly, and then turned toward his house.
"There's nothing to talk about. I have business to do."
When Penny refused, the elevator door opened and she hurried to go inside.
"Then I'll talk to Brian."
Leo's words fell in Penny’s ears as the elevator door was about to close. She gritted teeth and had to
walk out of the elevator.
When she arrived in Leo’s house, Penny didn't look around, she was thinking what Leo would ask her
and how she should answer.
"You seem to know what I'm trying to say."
Leo said. He must be indifferent to face such a woman.
"......"
Penny did not answer with her eyes dodged. She did not know she would be angry or gentle.
"You must tell me what happened four years ago, Penny."
Leo sat on the sofa in a domineering way.
Penny looked at Leo who was sunny and handsome, she felt nervous.
"Leo, what I said is the truth. What do you want me to say?"
Penny’s tone was kind of gentle. Since Leo did not turn against her, she could be able to control
herself.
"I asked you to tell me the truth, but you lied to me. You have no courage to face what you have done?"
Leo’s eyes were sharp and his facial expression was gloomy.
"What courage are you taking about? What I said is the truth."
Penny was panic, feeling that Leo had already known about the truth, looking at Leo’s bleak eyes and
hearing his calm tone.
But it was her speculation, she couldn't make a hasty admission.
"Well, Penny, you have but one chance. If you do not cherish it, do not blame me.
Leo's eyes suddenly became sinister. He got up angrily to see her off.
"We have no more to talk about. Please go back."
Penny was worried and puzzled. Did Leo give up like this? It was not like Leo.
"I want to say something. Now that we're meeting this way, I'd like to ask you for help. Brian knows
something about you and me. I hope you won't mention it again. When we meet, we will just treat each
other as ordinary friends."
Penny knew Leo was cooperating with the Bennet Group recently, so it was inevitable to see Brian.
And now Brian lived in his next door and they had more opportunities to meet. It was inevitable to talk
about her.
Penny had to ask him for help in case of that.
“Penny, I am a businessman, and we must meet each other. If you don't provoke Winwin, I will promise
you that."
Leo finally knew how shameless Penny was. She did not admit her fault but asked him for help. He
must have a problem in brain so he believed what she said.
"Leo, it is not the case. Winnie came back is to make trouble for me. She not only took my son away,
but also kept Brian at her house. Do you think I can take that?”
Penny obviously was out of control. Winnie again. That was the last name she would like to hear.
However, these men were obsessed with her and paid for her like a fool.
"Why did Winnie come back to make trouble for you?"
Brian did not answer but asked a rhetorical question, which stunned Penny.
"She... She is jealous of me. She wants to steal Brian and cheat him like she did to you."
Penny framed Winnie without moderation, which completely disappointed Leo.
"I was glad to have her cheat me; and if you cheat me, I will make you suffer. You know better than
anyone whether or not Brian will be cheated. If a man of such intelligence is cheated, he is willing to do
so."
"Please leave. I have to work."
Leo said and walked toward the door, Penny followed him closely.
"Leo, no matter what, I helped you at that time, if I did not......"
Penny tried to persuade Leo, but Leo suddenly stopped his pace and shouted sharply.
"One must not be dirty, Penny. You are the last person to mention what happened four years ago.
Winwin and I would have been happier than anyone without you."
Leo glared at Penny, with hatred and regret in eyes.
"......"
After dinner in the evening, a few people were sitting together in the living room watching TV. The two
children were talking and laughing. Winnie was silent raising the corner of her mouth.
Brian always looked at Winnie unconsciously.
Winnie was not the most beautiful woman Brian had ever seen, but she was the most stunning. Her
facial features were pretty, her temperament was elegant and her figure was impeccable.
Her beauty was very unique. She was quiet, intellectual, calm, open-minded and elegant. But the word
‘cheater’ hid it all.
Brian withdrew his sight, not wanting to be deceived by her pure appearance.
Winnie noticed Brian that. She felt bitter in heart.
She did not understand Brian's intention. If it was to vent anger for Penny, he should not have saved
her in a moment of crisis. Was it a pleasure for him to see her hit by a car?
Why did he come to her, if it was not for Penny, if he disliked her to such an extent? Was it just a man's
desire to conquer?
Winnie was in daze and involuntarily moved her eyes from the TV.
"Mommy, what are you thinking about?"
Megan said and pulled back Winnie's free thoughts.
"Oh, nothing."
"Mommy. Brother says he wants to take part in Super Brain when he grows up."
Megan repeated Luke's words.
"Well, that's very nice. I believe that Luke can do that. Since you have a dream, you have put it into
action, work hard to achieve your dream relying on your own strength. I support you."
Winnie smiled proudly, as if Luke had realized his dream.
"I will work hard to realize my dream."
Luke said with full momentum. As long as Auntie believed in him, he had the strength to move forward.
"Mommy, I want to participate in it, too."
Megan said with envy.
"Ok, work hard too. Megan, although the girl should work hard as the boy, the girl should be quiet and
steady."
Winnie said.
"Ok, Mommy, you do it again."
Megan seemed to be impatient, but she smiled. Such optimistic and cheerful personality was Brian's
favorite.
Megan walked to Brian and continued.
"Uncle, Mommy has so much chicken soup for the soul that I can't even digest it. Almost a bowl every
day. I feel that if you drink chicken soup, your foot will heal soon."
Megan said jokingly, wishing to make Brian less cold.
Fortunately, she succeeded, Brian respected her.
Brian raised the corners of his mouth, gently stroking the naughty Megan.
Megan and Luke were of two completely different characters. Brian once wondered why they became
friends.
Megan was naughty and lovely, clever and intelligent, sometimes she was stubborn.
Luke was introversive, not good at expressing himself. Although he was more intelligent than Megan,
but he looked depressed.
He became better after meeting Winnie, but he was so when facing Winnie.
"You smile, Uncle."
Megan said happily. Brian's smile was warmer than the sun in Megan’s eyes.
"Mommy, look, uncle is smiling."
Megan excitedly told Winnie, Winnie lifted her eyes and happened to see Brian’s eyes.
The slight radian of the mouth could hardly be called a smile, but it was unprecedented for Brian.
Even if it was a slight radian, Winnie was in daze.
That smile was charming, which cause ripples in Winnie’s calm heart.
Winnie quickly moved away her eyes and tried to calm herself down.
What was wrong with her? What was wrong with her heart?
Brian also moved away his eyes. Although he did not know what he looked like with a smile, he felt
pleased that it made Megan happy.
But the smile was only for Megan. Winnie should thank Megan for seeing it.
Winnie quickly moved away her eyes and tried to calm herself down.
What was wrong with her? What was wrong with her heart?
Brian also moved away his eyes. Although he did not know what he looked like with a smile, he felt
pleased that it made Megan happy.
But the smile was only for Megan. Winnie should thank Megan for seeing it.
