After listening to Winnie's words, Rufus showed a charitable smile on his face, which was completely
different from the time when he had just cursed Penny
"I am not angry, and I don’t blame you. It's none of your business, so don't worry about it too much.
Brian's tantrums with me look disrespectful to you, but I'm glad. It was the first time in years that he had
said so much to me."
"It makes sense, but I think there's still something wrong with his attitude. I just talked to him upstairs.
He'll watch his language."
Winnie was afraid of the aggravation of the conflict between Rufus and Brian. After Rufus said that, she
found that was the first time in years that Brian had said so much to Rufus. In Rufus's opinion, this was
a big step forward.
"Alas......What a pity, it would be good if you were my daughter-in-law."
Rufus said looking at Winnie who was sensible and considerate.
She was such a good girl and kind to anyone. Most importantly she could make Brian have a better
attitude and control Brian at the critical moment.
And it would be happy that a family of four lived together, but god made a joke and the result was not
satisfactory.
"Sir, you think too highly of me, I am not so good to be your daughter-in-law, so there is no pity."
Winnie said casually, but only she knew she felt bitter.
No matter who approved her, Brian did not love her.
Winnie had no delusion that she would become Rufus's daughter-in-law, because she knew that Brian
loved the other woman and the gap between her and Brian was big.
"You are a good girl, and Brian is not lucky to have you."
“But don't blame him. He has been holding a grudge for so many years and he needs a chance to let it
out or he will get tired."
Rufus loved his son. He wanted to find a suitable opportunity to quarrel with Brian so that Brian could
feel better. However, he had not had the right opportunity in so many years.
"Yeah, I know."
Winnie answered faintly. How could she blame him? She had no qualification.
"I am glad that you don't blame him, Sir. He rests in his bedroom. I will get dinner for him."
"Don't get too tired."
Rufus reminded her kindly.
"I won't, I have Raya to help me. Don't worry."
Winnie said and turned to leave.
The days of cooking for Brian were numbered. Even though she was tired, she wanted to cook more
for him.
After dinner was prepared, Brian was still asleep, and Winnie did wake him up.
After dinner, the two children went to do their homework. Rufus and Paul went for a walk.
Winnie was depressed, so she drove out.
Winnie didn't go far. She went to the cemetery to see her parents.
Standing in front of her parents’ tombstones, she suddenly found that she should be the most wronged
person, but she blindly thought of others and forgot that she needed comfort too.
"Mom, Dad, I wish you were still alive. As long as you're alive, I'm still the princess protected by you.
Even if we had no higher status than others, not as rich as others, but at least I have someone to love
me."
"Now I am tired. Can you help me?"
Winnie said, failing to hold back her tears. At the moment she seemed the most helpless. Although
everything was a foregone conclusion, the two children still worried her very much.
Would Brian give her the custody of the two children? Would Megan call him father? Whether it would
affect the relationship between Brian and Wendy? Winnie had no idea at all.
She loved him but never wanted to possess him. She loved him so she wanted him to be happier than
she was.
But the existence of two children would certainly affect his life, but Brian could not remove this fact.
Winnie looked at her parents’ tombstones blankly for a long time, but she couldn't figure out how to do.
As it was getting dark, Winnie turned to leave.
Back in the car, as she had just fastened her seat belt, the phone rang.
"Vanessa."
"Sister, I will get the scores the day after tomorrow. I want to go to B City, so that you can help me with
the university application."
Vanessa was expected to get the results.
"Ok and I'll book a flight for you. Will Auntie come back with you?"
Winnie said in a warm voice.
"Auntie said she will be back after a time. Sister, don’t you feel Aunie was not willing to go back to B
City? I always feel she is in delay."
Vanessa told her doubts.
There were several people who wanted to rent the drugstore with good price, but her aunt always
reused with various reasons. Vanessa suspected that her aunt might not be willing to leave A City, to
leave the drugstore.
"Really? I will talk to her."
Winnie hung up the phone and booked a flight for Vanessa and then drove to leave.
On the way home, she thought of what Vanessa said. Did her aunt really was not willing to go back to B
City?
Winnie had some memories of her aunt's past, but she did not know the details. She only knew that her
aunt did not return to B City because she got hurt in love.
It happened when she was young. Could not her aunt get it over now?
Winnie drove home. As she closed the door, Brian appeared in front of her and asked.
"Whose car is it?”
Brian's tone was of dissatisfaction and his eyes had doubts.
"Leo's, I borrow it."
Winnie did not hide it, nor did she have to.
"Why did you borrow his car? I have one."
Hearing that the car was Leo's, Brian's face suddenly became gloomy.
"I have to give your car back in a few days, but I can use his car for a lifetime."
Winnie looked at Brian seriously. Why did he ask what he knew? Would there be different results?
"What do you mean? Are you in a relationship?"
Flustered, Brian asked. If they were a couple, she could use Leo’s car for a lifetime.
Winnie sighed and did not know how to answer Brian's question.
"Stop dwelling on these things, there's no point."
"By the way, have you had dinner yet?
Winnie changed the subject, not wanting to waste time on meaningless things. Entangling with these
things would only hurt her.
"No."
Brian replied coolly.
When he woke up, it was dark outside and everyone was at home except Winnie. He could not get
through her mobile phone and was worried that he could not find her, so he had no mood to eat.
"Give his car back."
Brian was still cared about that. Whether the car was borrowed or given, whether the car could be used
for a day or a lifetime, Brian did not want Winnie to be related with Leo.
"Stop being unreasonable, will you? Are you gonna give me a car, and then, when we're apart, you
take back your car? We'll be connected for the rest of our lives by this car. Can you stand it? Aren't you
afraid that I will affect your relationship with Wendy? Aren't you afraid Wendy won't be happy about it?"
Before Brian became angry, Winnie frowned and raised her voice.
She did not understand why Brian was so domineering. Since he had nothing to do with her, he should
treat her as a stranger.
“Don’t mind my business. I have my own way of life. If you meddle in my affairs again, I will always
cling to you and spoil your good things.”
Winnie had no choice but to use this method to threaten Brian. Actually she did not want to rely on him.
She just wanted to tell Brian, whether they had an affair or trade, it had been gone. Only the children
had not been solved.
So Brian only needed to focus entirely on getting a DNA sample. He did not need to care whose car
she borrowed.
Brian stared at Winnie angrily. He really wanted to let her cling to him for a lifetime, and wanted to let
her destroy his good deed all the time, but these were not the facts.
Brian also knew that he should not mind Winnie's business, but sometimes he really could not control
himself. The thought of her with Leo hurt him.
Now he admitted that Winnie was much more rational than him. Should he feel lucky that he met such
a rational woman, or could she be so rational because she did not love him?
The latter had the bigger opportunity. If Winnie loved him, she would not let go so easily.
At that thought, Brian became angrier. After staring at Winnie mercilessly, he turned around and walked
towards his car.
He should not come and should not be meddlesome.
"Where are you going?”
Winnie asked after him, but she did not get an answer.
Winnie chased after Brian quickly. When he opened the door, Winnie stood in front of Brian.
"Are you leaving? Are you not going to have dinnerr?"
Winnie asked angrily.
"Get out of my way. You're not in charge of my business."
Said Brian angrily, but he didn't push Winnie away, fearing his strength might hurt her.
"I cooked tonight, eat before you leave. If you don't eat, you will have no chance to have it again."
Winnie's anger did not decrease. There was no relationship between them, but she would not allow
Brian to abuse him.
"I told you to get out of the way."
Brian's anger was not reduced, but the voice was down.
Since Winnie's accident, he had hardly had a proper meal Today, when Winnie went out of the
bedroom, she said she would cook dinner for him. He went to bed with expectation, which meant he
wanted to have this dinner.
But no one expected this to happen.
