Winnie looked Megan’s wronged face, feeling heart in pain.
"Megan, do you like Uncle?"
Winnie asked in a low voice.
"Yes, like Daddy. People say Daddy is the big tree behind kids. I think Uncle is the big tree behind me."
Megan answered Winnie positively. But it made Winnie remorse.
Brian over the phone felt warm but helpless to hear that.
"Megan, don't rely on uncle so much. Uncle can't be your Daddy even if I explain to him. Uncle and
Mommy are two parallel lines that will never meet."
Winnie took this opportunity to eliminate Megan's dependence on Brian, otherwise she would get hurt
someday
"Uncle is so excellent with high status, and his interpersonal relations are top level. We are not in the
same world, and we can’t be together."
"But Mommy, you are good too..."
Megan continued. Although she did not understand what Mommy said, she knew that Mommy was
good and kind and worth to stay with uncle.
"Megan, let me finish."
Winnie gently interrupted Megan, and then continued.
"I know you need a Daddy, but it can’t be Uncle. Daddy has to live with Mommy. Only when we love
each other, we can spend this life together. But Uncle has a wife and he doesn't like mr, so I can be
with Uncle."
"Mommy, you can love him."
Megan said innocently. Winnie once again froze and Brian over the phone unconsciously held breath.
He was looking forward to hear what Winnie would say.
For a moment.
"Megan, love is mutual, and Mammy's love alone will not work. Megan, give me some time. If I can find
the right man, I will give you a family and a Daddy."
Winnie could only appease the child for the time being. She did not know if that man existed. Even if he
did, it seemed that she was not qualified to love.
"Ok, I'll give you time."
Megan agreed reluctantly, but she still liked Uncle more. She did not know if the man Mommy met in
the future would be better than Uncle.
"Megan. If you meet Uncle again, don’t mention it to him or embarrass him."
Winnie continued.
"Ok, I see."
Megan agreed, but she wasn't sure if she could keep her mouth shut.
"Auntie......"
She thought this conversation would be over and everyone could eat. However, Luke spoke.
"Auntie, Megan can't rely on Daddy, but can I rely on you?"
Luke asked in a low voice with worry.
"Yes, you can rely on me forever."
With a kind smile on her face, Winnie replied. She didn't need a man in her life, as long as the two
children were with her.
"But if you have a boyfriend, and Megan has a Daddy, what should I do?"
Luke was still worried that he had to leave Winnie. He was afraid Winnie did not like him anymore.
"Luke, even if I have a boyfriend, I will take you as long as you like."
Winnie answered sincerely to eliminate Luke's concerns. No matter what, she would never send Luke
back to Penny.
"But I can't live without Daddy, and I can't live without you."
Luke's words stunned Winnie.
Both children had varying degrees of attachment to both adults, and it should be hard-wired, which was
not easy to disconnect.
She could protect Luke for a lifetime, but if she did so, she had to face Brian and Penny for a lifetime. It
was not easy for Winnie.
"Well, don't say anything. We'll find a way. Eat and then we do homework."
Winnie deflected the conversation to prevent the two children from further depression.
Brian's departure affected not only her. The two children were immersed in the confusion and missing.
Brian's finally hung up the phone. Thinking about the conversation, he felt upset.
No matter why, no matter when, he could not become Megan’s father as Winnie said. However,
Megan’s wronged voice made him feel distressed.
Megan was yearning to have a Daddy. Winnie would marry a man for her. But why did he feel difficulty
in breathing as he thought of that?
Winnie went to work and lived a quiet life as usual every day. Brian called to talk to Luke every day.
When she found it was Brian's call, she would give the phone directly to Luke.
It had been only a week, but she felt it was longer than a year.
When she arrived in the company, Winnie had something to discuss with Brian, so she came to the
secretary office.
"Klara, isn't Mr. Bennet at work yet?"
He should be fine in a week, Winnie thought.
"Yes, he has been at work for five days. What is it, Winnie?"
Klara raised her eyes and replied.
Five days? Winnie was suddenly stunned.
She did not know that even though their offices were so close, and she had been worrying about his
injury.
Winnie angrily turned straight to the president’s office, but suddenly she stopped at the door.
If she hadn't seen him for five days, It meant he had been avoiding her.
Why did she get angry and rush in if he did not want to see her?
Winnie felt sour in heart but stubbornly turned back to the secretary office.
"Klara, I have an important document that I need Mr. Bennet to confirm. I will send it to him by email.
Please remind him."
Winnie turned back to her office. Since Brian did not want to see her, she would avoid him. She knew
what to do.
After Winnie returned to her office, Klara went to the president's office and passed on Winnie's words.
Brian’s face darkened, but he did not say anything.
In order not to annoy anyone, Winnie almost spent the day in the office. She asked her assistant Alice
to do the business and she developed the new software.
Although it was quiet alone, but it was a peaceful day.
Towards the end of the day.
"Winnie, Manger Daniel of MT wants to see you. There is something he doesn't understand about
mobile phone software."
Assistant Alice said.
Winnie checked the time and found it was still early to pick up the children, so she decided to be there
with Alice.
Winnie and Alice stood in front of the elevator and waited. Suddenly they heard the sound of Klara
greeting Brian. Winnie could not help looking back.
But she regretted it.
Brian came out from the president's office with Penny.
When Penny saw Winnie was looking back at her, she deliberately held Brian's arm, and Brian did not
refuse her.
Winnie took a look at Penny with distain and then at Brian. She thought she would be disdainful to see
Brian, but she consciously wanted to see him.
She had not seen him for more than a week, and he seemed colder and more handsome than ever.
On his handsome face, there was a pair of bright eyes as stars in the sky. With a frown, his sexy lips
were pressed.
An Italian handmade suit set off his charm. He looked domineering. Everything had become a foil with
him around.
This man was undoubtedly the attention of the public. Whether in term of appearance or ability, talent
or status, Winnie felt her not worth of him.
What Winnie could only do was to occasionally appreciate it like this.
Winnie looked down at Brian's injured ankle.
Fortunately, he had recovered, and she no longer had to worry.
Since she had no need to worry about him, she took back her eyes.
At this moment, Brian walked to the elevator. Alice greeted him respectfully.
"Hello, Mr. Bennet, Mrs. Bennet."
Winnie only treated Brian as a leader, so she must say hello too.
"Mr. Bennet."
She stopped there. Even if Penny was the president’s wife, Winnie did not say hello to her.
Brian said nothing, looking straight ahead. His eyes did not shift because of Winnie. But Penny become
embarrassed because Winnie intentionally neglected her.
"......"
As Penny was to mock at Winnie, the elevator door was opened.
Brian stepped in followed by Penny, and then Winnie and Alice walked in.
When the elevator door closed, Penny took Brian's arm ostentatiously again. Of course, Winnie, who
was standing beside her, couldn't avoid such a picture.
Seeing that Brian did not refuse, Winnie admitted that she was jealous. But she could tolerate it, it felt
like her idol got a girlfriend.
This kind of jealousy was simple and had no results.
In the deathly silence of the elevator, Winnie just wanted the elevator to speed up to reach the floor she
wanted to reach.
Looking at Penny’s proud face and Brian’s cold face, Winnie felt suffocated.
Fortunately, the elevator finally stopped and opened the door. Albert and Manger Daniel stood at the
door saying something.
Manger Daniel’s eyes were full of desire at the moment he saw Winnie. He did not care others were in
the elevator and the president’s assistant was standing next to him.
He did not want to move his eyes from Winnie. And then he found it was the president of the Bennet
Group.
"Mr. Bennet?"
Daniel looked at Brian uncertainly. Brian did not give him any response, so he looked at Albert. He had
not seen Brian before, so he dared not greet him.
"Yes, this is Mr. Bennet. Mr. Bennet has something important today. I'll tell introduce you to him some
day."
Albert said and then walked into the elevator directly.
