For the first time, he observed these two kids so attentively. They had a lot of similarities, they all had
different shapes of birthmarks on their bodies, one on the left arm, and the other on the right arm.
Megan was more like Winnie. At first glance, she was just the same as Winnie, but taking a closer look,
she also looked like him in many places, such as forehead, ears, eyes.
If Megan was his child, how happy he would be.
"Uncle, the place we lived when we were in A City was just as big as this one. My aunt and
grandmother lived in one room, and I lived with my mommy in one room. So I can get used to this kind
of house and I don't need you to find a better one."
Megan said in a gentle voice, Mommy said it doesn’t matter what size it is, it is enough when it is cozy.
As long as we are together, even living on the roadside is a kind of happiness for us.
"Daddy, I can also live in this house, but I am afraid Auntie Winwin would feel aggrieved. Why do we
have to move out from the house? Isn't that daddy’s house? Why won't daddy let us live there
anymore?"
Luke’s mood was obviously very low, these days he knew Auntie Winwin was busy in moving but
complained nothing, and he felt sad for her.
"No Luke, it's daddy’s fault."
Brian now felt regretted, he should have talked to the kids and Winnie to make things clear, now Winnie
felt aggrieved and the kids’ emotions had been affected as well.
"Daddy, Auntie Winwin is very nice to me. I will follow her no matter where she goes, even if we live in
a broken house as long as I am with Auntie Winwin, I will feel happy. It's just that she has done so
many things for me, so giving her a house is the right thing to do."
"Daddy, all the things are packed and moved by Auntie Winwin and Auntie Vanessa. They are so tired
and sweat a lot, which makes me feel so heartbroken. Daddy, give them a house, and never let them
move and pack things again, please."
Luke said very sincerely that Brian's heart continuously tumbled.
He just wanted to keep Winnie away from Leo, and did not expect things to end up like this. He even
did not expect Winnie would rent a house to live, if he gave her more time, if he considered this matter
more maturely, maybe their situation would be better now.
Brian pacified the kids for a while, Winnie still did not come back. So he went to Vanessa's room.
"Is it okay to talk to you for a while?"
Brian asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, it's just that I'm tired and need to rest for a while."
"Sit on the bed, this place is too small and there is no other place to sit."
Vanessa looked around and all she could sit was this one chair under her butt. She could only let Brian
sit on her bed.
"Having you guys moved out in such a hurry won't affect your studies, right?"
Brian continued to ask.
"No, what should be reviewed has been reviewed, now I just need to check them again, there is no
influence to me."
Vanessa replied with a smile on her face.
"Vanessa, I want to ask you a question. These days why do you deliberately distance from me but you
are very attached to Leo?"
Brian wanted to ask Vanessa long ago, but just never had the chance.
"Do you want to hear the truth?"
Vanessa asked frankly.
She was thinking that it would be better if Brian could accept the fact and tell him all the truths, so that
he wouldn't have any other thoughts about his sister.
"I am all ears."
Brian was an adult. He believed he was strong enough to ask for a truth from a little girl, or he would
not come here.
"You like my sister, don't you?"
Vanessa asked so suddenly that Brian stunned there speechless.
"If you don't answer me, I'll take as a yes."
Vanessa took a slow breath and continued.
"Just because I could see that you like my sister, that's why I start to distance myself from you, and
also warm my sister many times that she must keep a distance from you too. Why? Because you have
a family, and if you are with my sister, then my sister will become your mistress. Our family can not
accept it."
"So, I just want my sister to be with Leo, so that you will give up on her. And she also doesn't have to
live her whole life with the reputation of being a mistress."
Vanessa revealed her thoughts without any hiding to Brian, hoping that Brian would think more about
her sister and voluntarily give up on her for the goodness of her sister.
Brian finally understood.
"I admit that I have a child, but I don't have a wife, even if your sister is with me, she is not a mistress."
Brian did not know how many times he had explained this matter, probably Winnie never told this to her
sister. But no problem, he now had the opportunity to explain for himself again.
"Brian, I don't understand what you're saying. How can you say you don't have a wife, but could have a
child?"
Vanessa asked in confusion.
"Your sister also has a child, is she married? Does she have a husband? If she is with Leo, will others
say that Leo is the third person?"
Brian gave a very simple example. In fact, he and Winnie's situation was the same, except that he
found a wife with a contract.
"But my sister she... "
Vanessa wanted to say something but she resisted herself to tell the truth.
Brian felt something unusual, there was the deep, unseen curiosity in his eyes. What did Vanessa want
to say? Did she want to say that her sister was a surrogate mother?
Brian wrinkled his eyes and spoke in a low voice.
"I don't know what's going on with your sister, you must want to know where does Luke come from if I
am not married."
"Yes, you are not married, so where does Luke come from?"
Vanessa looked at Brian expectantly.
"In order to find an heir to take over the Bennet Group, Luke was given birth by a surrogate mother. But
just keep this secret between you and me, do not let Luke know."
Except from his family and Kevin, Brian did not tell anyone about Luke’s birth. Today he revealed this
secret to Vanessa with a purpose to dig out more information about Winnie from her.
Vanessa was stunned and shocked. She was shocked by the coincidence happened between Brian
and her sister.
Surrogacy? Luke was actually born from a surrogate mother, and her sister was also a surrogate
mother to earn money back then. Could it be that...
"It's unbelievable, so there really is such a thing. I can't believe it."
Vanessa pretended to speak calmly, but the doubts in her eyes that could not be waved away exposed
her real thought at the moment.
Could Luke be the child that her sister sent away? Was it possible that her sister took care of Luke
because she already knew the truth?
Vanessa was so confused that she couldn't make sense of them at all.
"It is not an uncommon thing. It is very normal for a big family like us. Now you should believe that I
don't have a wife, right?"
Brian also could not calm down, looking at Vanessa's doubtful and drifting eyes, he became more
suspicious that Winnie was the surrogate mother.
It was just that Vanessa swallowed back her words before finishing it, making Brian feel doubly
disappointed.
"Brian, do you mean by that you want to stay with my sister? Are you sure you don't care about her
having another child? Are you sure you can love her for the rest of your life? Are you sure you can give
her an official title?"
Vanessa kept questioning him. She could believe that he didn’t have a wife, but there was no
guarantee that he could really treat her sister well. After all, his social status was so high, not to
mention with a child, even with ten children, there were still someone that would want to marry with
him. But, her sister was the woman with a child.
Brian looked at Vanessa seriously, but could not give a definite answer.
He wanted to be with her, but not because he loved her, he had someone to love. He was sure he
didn't care that she had a child, but he couldn't give her an official title.
This was the most contradictory thing that tortured Brian now, and this was the most difficult problem
he encountered. It just felt like his heart was all tangled together because of Winnie.
"Can’t you give your promise?"
Brian did not say anything, Vanessa had learned his thoughts. He wanted to be with her sister but did
not want to marry her. He did not love her at all.
"Don't tempt her if you can't give her anything, it's not easy for her to live now, don't let her struggle in
pain anymore."
Vanessa could not accept her sister being teased by someone else, even if that person was her big
brother whom she respected.
"Vanessa, do you think Leo... "
Brian didn't want to hurt Winnie, but he didn't want to lose Winnie either. He was trying to explain
himself and compare with Leo. But Vanessa didn't give him a chance.
"Brian, you and Leo are not the same. If my sister is willing to be with him, Leo will accept my sister
unconditionally and accept Megan as well. Leo thinks he owes my sister and he is looking for every
opportunity to make it up for her. I want to help them, and as long as they are together, Leo will
definitely make my sister happy."
All these words Vanessa said were said to her by Leo, who had approached her alone that day after
having dinner at her house to ask for her help. Vanessa could see that Leo truly liked her sister, so she
agreed to help.
But she knew her heart was still inclined to Brian, if at this moment Brian could give her sister
happiness like Leo, she would not hesitate to help Brian, but unfortunately he could not promise
anything.
Brian took a deep breath, helplessly.
At this moment he was a selfish man, even if he couldn’t give Winnie the happiness she wanted, but he
still didn’t want Winnie to be with Leo.
Vanessa's worry which he could understand, but he couldn’t accept it. No matter what others wanted to
do or were thinking, he just didn’t want to let go of Winnie now.
Winnie was walking alone around the neighborhood, just wanting to take a break, and forgetting about
that phone call Brian just made. Unconsciously, she walked out of the neighborhood and to the
sidewalk.
Winnie stood on the sidewalk and looked around listlessly, not knowing where to go, just like her
confusing life at the moment.
Winnie randomly chose a direction to continue walking, not looking up, but only looking down at her
feet.
At this moment, two sturdy men suddenly appeared in front of Winnie, blocking her.
Winnie raised her head but was surprised by them. They were with black hats and black masks, only to
reveal a pair of sharp eyes, making people almost scare to death.
Winnie hurriedly lowered her head and wanted to go pass the two men, but who knew that she just
moved her shoulders to walk away, one man put his hand on it, so firmly that Winnie could not resist at
all.
Winnie was scared and panicked, and looked back at the road to see that there was not a single
person, Winnie's heart beat quickly. She tried to turn around, but pain came from her shoulder and she
could only give up.
"I wonder what do you want from me?"
Winnie asked bravely, but in her heart she was praying that someone would pass by at this time.
"Winnie, right?"
One of them asked coldly.
