Winnie directly answered the phone without even bothering to look at the number.
"Hello?"
Her voice sounded so low and weak that Brian's heart suddenly tightened when hearing it.
"Are you okay?"
Hearing Brian's voice coming from the other side, Winnie immediately cheered herself up.
"I am fine. I am just about to go to sleep."
The actual fact was that she couldn’t whine to him, complaining about how tired she was. Because it
just was a waste of breath.
"Have you moved yet?"
Hearing that Winnie's voice was getting a bit cheerful, Brian then gave a sign of relief.
Today after answering Klara’s phone, Brian was planning to call Winnie, but something urgent
happened that he needed to handle immediately which made this call had been delayed until now.
"Yes, we have moved. That house has been emptied now."
Winnie's voice sounded delightful, but actually she was wearing a sad face.
"Have you bought a house in such a short time? Where is the house?"
Brian thought that Winnie would ask him for help in terms of buying a house, but who knew that she
could have handle this all by herself.
"I don’t buy a house, I just rent an apartment near the kindergarten. You want us to move out in such a
hurry, but Vanessa is in cram school, so I can't decide where to buy the house in such a short time. I
have no choice but only to find a place to live temporarily. I'll buy one when Vanessa’s finals are over."
Winnie really wanted to disappear and told Brian nothing, but it was a bit unrealistic. He was so
powerful, even if she went to the moon he could find her out, unless she went to the heaven.
"You rent an apartment and again share it with others?"
Brian asked coldly, thinking it was another cramped room like the last one, where several people lived
together.
"No. There are so many of us and no one wants to share an apartment with us. There is one hall and
three bedrooms in the apartment which is quite nice."
Winnie answered coldly, thinking that since they had been kicked out from the house, then what kind of
house they were going to live in was totally up to her.
"Now the apartment is very close to the kindergarten, which is very convenient for me to send and pick
up the kids. There is no need for me to use the car, so I return it to you."
Winnie continued.
In all, what she got from Brian were only a car and a cell phone. Now the car was returned to him, the
phone she would also find an opportunity to return to him, but just in cash.
As for that 100 million dollars, sooner or later she would return them to him too.
"Winnie, you are doing this again, what do you want?"
Brian suddenly became angry. The most annoying thing was that Winnie always wanted to return
everything to him, which made him feel like she was going to leave him forever.
"Keep your voice down, don't always get angry so easily. I don’t want anything from you. I just think it is
better to prepare for myself beforehand than to wait for you to ask me to give your things back to you.
It's late now, you should go to sleep too."
After saying that, Winnie hung up the phone directly, and then turned off the phone. She didn't want to
hear him growling when she was helplessly tired.
Brian was about to be mad, his phone was hung up and he couldn’t call her back. It was obviously that
she was avoiding him.
Did she get angry when he asked her to return the house back? But he also had his own ideas. Or was
he saying it in a wrong way? Why was she always thinking she was the victim?
Brian rushed back the next night and went straight to Winnie's house after getting off the plane.
Opening the door, everything in front of him was not the same as what he thought. The apartment was
totally different from the previous one.
The apartment was not completely packed, and boxes were stacked on one side. The kids only could
play in the small living room. There were three bedrooms, one for Vanessa, only with a desk, a single
bed and a small closet.
One for the kids, with two single beds and a desk. The last room was for Winnie.
Winnie's room was the smallest of these bedrooms, with a single bed, a computer desk and an easily
assembled closet. It was so small that even could not save the space for the dresser.
Brian checked the apartment with his eyebrow frown all the way, and then immediately made a
decision.
"Move out now, you can't live here."
Brian's voice was a bit loud. Winnie was afraid that the kids would hear it and went to close the door
first. Only then did she return to Brian's side.
"Don't bother, there is only a few days away from Vanessa’s exams, she can’t be disturbed. And I don't
feel bad about this place. It is convenient for me to pick up the kids. We will stay here for now, and
move out later once we buy a house."
Winnie refused his request, she finally walked out of Brian's shadow. She did not want to go back to
her old life.
"I'll prepare a house for you in the next few days, and you'll move out after Vanessa's exams."
Brian could compromise in order to no longer affect Vanessa. But he absolutely could not let Winnie
live here all the time. This was also not the original intention of letting her move out of the house.
"There's no need. If you really want to help me, you would have helped me find another house before
kicking me out. And don't use Vanessa as an excuse to help me find a house. If you really care about
us, you wouldn't have given me only two days."
Since he hadn't even considered her condition when she was driven out, and now he was coming to
offer his hospitality, Winnie didn’t need it at all.
"The reason I kick you out... "
Brian wanted to tell the truth, but if he did it, Winnie would definitely be more angrier, the words coming
from his mouth could only be swallowed back.
"You should leave this matter alone, I will have someone come to help you move when the time
comes."
Brian said firmly, but Winnie also insisted on her own ideas.
"No, these things were all packed by me during the whole night. I moved them over here all by myself.
If you help me move them away again, sooner or later I still have to move them out of your house, so
are you really helping me or torturing me?"
"This time it is Klara who needs the house, and then I have to move out for her. The next time when
Wendy comes back, then I have to move out again. So am I a clown for you to make fun of at will?"
Winnie couldn't hold back the anger in her heart and began to question Brian.
"Brian, since you can't accompany me for the rest of your life, then you should not get involved in my
life. You have the woman you want to wait for, and I can also find a man who tolerates everything about
me. We are in a contractual relationship, you keep Luke on my side and I'll sleep with you, it's as
simple as that. So let's not have any more interactions other than having sex together, and do not make
fun of me like a monkey."
For Winnie, she was determined to clear up their relationship with Brian, in the future she would never
let Brian participate in her life, and definitely would not let him affect her mood.
This was a chance for her to go back to her own life, which should be quite and peaceful. She never
wanted to sacrifice herself for Brian again.
"I can have a woman, you can't have a man. We are in a contractual relationship, but when should it
end is entirely up to me, and if I don't let go of you, you will never leave me for the rest of your life."
Brian was furious. He was so angry because Winnie was so determined to leave him, because Winnie
was going to look for another man.
This was a problem he had been avoiding, a problem he had never dared to think about, and when
Winnie finally said it, he felt like he was drowning in a mudslide, feeling absolutely smothering and
panic.
He was about to leave, but was quickly pulled by Winnie.
"Do not leave now, calm down for a while, or the kids will worry about you if they see your angry face."
Now Brian was extremely furious with his face and ears red. If the kids see him now, it would affect the
mood of the kids. They are still feeling unhappy because of moving out of the house so suddenly.
Brian’s angry face would make them feel more unsecured, then they may need more time to get used
to this new place.
Brian glared at Winnie sulkily, thinking that all she did was for the goodness of the kids, he reluctantly
stayed there to calm himself down.
He turned back to walk to the bed and sat down, breathing heavily to release his discontent and
coldness.
Brian sat on the edge of the bed and did not say anything. Winnie sat in front of the computer table and
mindlessly clicked the mouse. It took a while for Winnie to break the silence.
"This house is for temporary use, although it is not as good as the previous one, it will not let Luke feel
uneasy here. After Vanessa’s exams, I will take Vanessa out to buy a house. I return the car to you,
because you have given me a lot of money before, and I will buy another one for myself."
Winnie said calmly, she was just repeating her position, but also telling Brian, even if he now prepared
a palace for her, she would not go there to live.
Winnie got up after finishing her words, and handed the key that was on the computer desk to Brian.
Everything of Brian did not belong to her, it would only damage her dignity if she accepted his things.
As for buying a car and a house, she won't use Brian's money to buy them either. The 100 million
dollars, if it was not to stabilize Brian's emotions, she would have returned it to him long ago.
"Can you not be so stubborn? The reason I let you move out of that house is not... "
Brian's emotions became relatively stable, he intended to tell the truth to Winnie so that she would not
feel aggrieved for this. But when he was about to reveal the truth, his phone rang.
Brian picked up the phone, with his eyes suddenly drifted elsewhere.
"Wendy, are you up?"
Brian's voice suddenly got gentle.
"Well, I'm up. How about you, do you have dinner?"
A sweet and soft voice came from the other side.
"I haven't eaten yet, I just come back from a business trip."
Brian replied absentmindedly, talking while gazing at Winnie.
Winnie knew who the phone call was from when she heard the softness of Brian's voice.
She smeared at him, comparing Brian's attitude before and after Wendy’s call in her heart.
Just now when talking to her, he was like a lion roaring wildly and desperately wanting to eat her alive.
But now when talking to Wendy, his voice became so warm and gentle, just like the spring breeze
flowing into her ears.
Winnie walked away and left quietly.
Although she knew that Brian did not belong to her, but she couldn’t stand him to be so warm to other
woman. She couldn't control Brian, but she could choose to leave and not to hear him flirting with other
women.
Winnie came to the living room where the two kids were playing with toys and wanted to join them, but
at the moment she was not in the mood.
"You two stay at home and play by yourself, I'm going to the supermarket to buy something."
Then, Winnie walked out of the house.
After Brian finished his call, he saw that Winnie was not there and asked the kids, and knew that
Winnie had gone to the supermarket.
"Daddy, we have so many houses, can we take one out for Auntie Winwin to live in?"
Luke walked to Brian's side and asked directly.
They moved in such a sudden, the moment he knew about the move he wanted to call his dad, but
later heard that his dad was on a business trip, so he didn't bother to call.
"This place is not good, is it? Is Luke not used to living in a house like this? How about Megan? Are
you used to live in here? If you are not used to this place, uncle will find another place for you."
Brian sat on the sofa and gathered the kids to his side.
