If possible, he would like Winnie to be as happy all her life as she was now, smiling instead of crying.
Unfortunately, he could not always keep her around and he was not the man who could let her smile all
her life.
Brian sighed inwardly, and then put his thoughts away.
"Vanessa, after so many years of hard work and tension, you finally can be relaxed. I will take you to
visit a foreign country."
"Really? Can we really go abroad?"
Vanessa asked in surprise.
"Sure, I'll take you where you want to go."
Brian said.
"Great..."
Vanessa said happily, but then converged her caper heart.
"Forget it. I'll have plenty of chances in the future. Thank you, Brian."
"Why, why wait? You rarely have long holiday, and when you go to college you won't have much time."
Brian was surprised that Vanessa who was glad in the last second decisively refused him. The two
sisters were equally weird.
"Nothing. Just like you said, I rarely take a long holiday, and I can't waste it. I'm going back to A City to
be with my aunt. My aunt is lonely there. And the drugstore is still running, so I have to go back to
help."
Vanessa was sensible. Everyone at her age wanted to go out and relax, and she was no exception. But
her family situation was different from others, and she should be responsible for it.
Winnie had been silent, waiting for Vanessa’s choice. As expected, her sister did not let her down.
But at the same time Winnie as distressed for Vanessa that she could not enjoy her holiday.
"Vanessa, if you want to play, you can go to play. I will look for someone to care of aunt, don't worry."
Winnie supported Vanessa to play. She felt it was enough that Vanessa cared about her aunt.
"No, I'm happy staying at home with my aunt. If I get bored, I'll start a cram school. If it works well, I can
earn the tuition for my first year of college."
Vanessa had made her decision. She felt she could play in the future and now the most important thing
was to accompany her aunt.
"Do what you want. I will support you whatever you want. Well, we'll go out and find a house tomorrow,
and you can go back when it's settled."
Winnie did not force Vanessa. Vanessa had her thought and she could do as she wanted, which was
an essential part of her growth.
"I don't care about the house, sister, it is up to you. It doesn't matter where the house is. As long as it is
big with more rooms. When aunt comes back, she can have a place to live and Luke has his room.
That is enough."
Vanessa unconsciously had taken Luke as her family. She liked Luke as she liked Megan.
Vanessa breathed a sigh of relief and continued to say.
"Sister, I will book the ticket to go back tomorrow. I miss aunt."
"I'll pay for your tuition, you don't have to earn it yourself. I'll buy you a house, and I'll take your aunt to
live with you. You don't have to think about anything. I'll arrange it."
Brian said at the right time and took all the things over.
Listening to the two sisters chat, he felt distressed. They were sensible. Even the little Megan was
clever when she was not naughty, like a small adult.
Brian could not imagine what they had experienced, so that they were so sensible.
"No."
"No."
However, the two sisters rejected in unison.
Vanessa refused because she did not want Winnie to get close to Brian.
Winnie refused because she did not want to trouble Brian, and her aunt would not accept such help.
"Brian, you have helped us a lot already. We can do all the things I've just said for the time being, and
we'll turn to you for help when we find it hard."
Vanessa politely refused.
Since Vanessa refused, Winnie was silent, otherwise Brian would get angry.
"Let’s have dinner first and then talk about it."
Winnie said to avoid Brian's embarrassment.
She knew that Brian was kind, but she could not accept his kindness without any reason. She was
afraid that it would become a habit. One day, Brian would let go of her, and she would not get used to
it.
In the next afternoon, Vanessa took plane back to A City. Brian returned to Winnie's home in the
evening.
Winnie's single bed was small, and for Brian’s burly figure, it was crowded, but it was good, so that they
could stick to each other without gaps.
"I'm hot. Is the air conditioner broken?"
Two people crammed into a small bed, so it was hot. Winnie wanted to sleep in Vanessa's room, but
Brian was embracing her, and she could not move.
"I'm hot, too..."
"I'll sleep in Vanessa's room."
Before Brian could finish his words, Winnie quickly put forward her ideas. but it was not gonna work.
"I'm hot not because of the air conditioning, nor because I'm crowded with you. You know the reason."
Brian deliberately asked Winnie.
It had been a month since things related to Penny happened, and Brian and Winnie had no skin close.
It was a difficult time for him physically and mentally.
Now Winnie was lying beside him, and the fire of his desire was burning. No wonder he was hot.
"I don’t know."
Winnie decisively answered.
"You don’t know? Do I need to tell you with my actions?"
Brian said coldly. This woman actually evaded his desire.
"No, I won't let you do anything until you promise me."
Winnie used every opportunity. It was the best opportunity to threaten Brian.
“What do you mean?”
Brian said coldly and seemed to have guessed something.
“Promise me to see your father, or put the fire of desire out of your head.”
With her back to Brian, Winnie showed a wry smile. She did not believe that Brian could not be
overcome with this trick. If it failed once, she would do it twice. If it failed twice, he would do it for the
third time. She would like to see how long he could stand it.
"Winnie."
Brian warned in a cold voice.
"Don't do that. I've got immunity. It won't hurt me at all. Now you have two choices. One is to see your
father. You can do whatever you want. The other is to refuse my request and..."
"Aren't you afraid I'll leave for another woman?"
Brian threatened her.
It was really difficult for him accept Winnie's request. The sight of his father reminded him of many
things that he did not want to remember.
Winnie's body was obviously stiff after hearing Brian's words. She had not expected Brian to say so.
Leave for another woman? If he did so, could she stop him?
But...
Winnie suddenly got up and broke away from Brian's arms.
She got out of bed and stood barefoot on the ground, glaring back at Brian.
"Go, I won't hinder you. It is your freedom to look for another woman, I have no right to stop. But never
come to my house, never touch me if you do that."
Winnie angrily rebuked. She could not accept Brian’s words and she hated him that he did not care
about her feelings to mention other women.
Although she knew she had no right to be angry, she couldn't control her emotions at the moment.
"Also, don't call Wendy or answer her calls in front of me. I don't want to see you show your love to
her."
Winnie added a sentence and then turned around to leave angrily.
But when she opened the door, suddenly she was embraced by Brian from behind, so that she could
not move.
"Let me go. Look for another woman. Why are you still here?"
Winnie tried to break free, but Brian held her more tightly.
"No, No. I promise you to see him."
At this time, Brian had no choice but to promise, because he knew that Winnie was stubborn again,
because he knew that once Winnie was stubborn, he had no choice.
However, he was inexplicably delighted and it did not make him angry by mentioning Wendy.
"Really?"
Winnie asked uncertainly, because her ears had not been working well recently.
"Yes."
Brian let go of Winnie's hands and moved them to her shoulders, making her turn around to face him.
"I can go, but you can’t force me to speak to him."
This was Brian's request. He could go to see him other than other things.
"No, no, I will not force you to speak to him, if only you see him."
Winnie excitedly said. It was easy for him to make concessions.
It was tearing open Brian's wound. She could not bear it, but there was no other way.
To make Luke stay with her, to open the heart of Brian, to make him have a peaceful life, she could
only do so.
"Happy now?”
Looking at Winnie being happy like a child, Brian's heart was suddenly enlightened.
Winnie was such a simple woman. She would laugh at happy things, meet difficulties, and burythe
unspeakable things in heart.
She sometimes was tenacious and stubborn like a cheetah, sometimes wronged like a child. She was
simple, wise and gentle.
"Yes."
Winnie's happiness was beyond words, but what she was most happy about was not that Brian agreed
to see her father, but his compromise.
As Winnie's words fell, she stood tiptoe to kiss Brian with her charming smile.
At this moment she could forget everything. This was the moment when she should have given him
encouragement.
A passionate kiss led to an uncontrollable move.
