Winnie directly refused the task, because she had no time or courage to continue.
“Why?”
Obviously, Felix's voice cooled down.
"I've done a lot of work over a long period of time, but Mr. Bennet never believed me. I had no other
way."
Winnie did not want to have too much contact with Brian, and did not want to love him more.
"It seems that I chose the wrong person. You give up after such a little frustration."
Felix's cold tone revealed his disappointment to Winnie. He wanted to urge Winnie to speed up the
progress but Winnie gave up.
"I'm sorry, Chairman, but I'm not the best candidate. Find someone else. There must be someone who
can help him."
Winnie tried and got hurt, but the result was not satisfactory.
It showed that she was nothing in Brian's heart. He was impossible to change for her or love her.
"Are you not afraid I bring back Luke?"
Felix did not think there would be another person had the ability as Winnie, even Wendy would not able
to change Brian a bit. He did not want to give up Winnie, did not want to miss such a good opportunity.
"Chairman, we can’t joke on the child. If you are sure that the child will grow up healthily with you and
not be abused by the stepmother, you can take the child back."
"The child is very dependent on me now, and the depression has not been cured completely. Do you
think it's okay for him to leave me? I just want you to put yourself in the child's shoes."
"So that? We don’t need you to raise him for the rest of your life?"
Winnie just didn't want to let Felix continue to use Luke as a bargaining chip, but hoped the Bennet
family treated Luke simply as a child.
But her words clearly angered Felix, and Felix loudly rebuked.
"He can't be with me forever, but I do everything for his good. Chairman, you are his great grandpa,
you should love him more than that I do."
Winnie was not afraid of Felix's anger. Now she did not care about anyone's threat, because the truth
was about to be exposed and she would try her best to fight for the custody of the two children.
"......"
There was a silence and then he hung up the phone.
Winnie took a deep breath and her expression relaxed.
After dinner, she accompanied her two children to do homework. Winnie asked at the end of the
homework.
"Luke, come and chat with me."
Winnie called Luke to her.
"Ok, what do you want to talk about?"
Luke came to Winnie, looking at Winnie with a happy face.
"Luke, since you know Penny is not your Mommy, do you want to Mommy?"
Winnie said in a gentle voice, fearing that the child would resist.
Sure enough, when it came to his mother, Luke's smile disappeared.
"Yes, but don’t dare to tell Daddy. They think I don't know, so I pretend I don't know it. I want to figure it
out when I grow up."
Luke said in a low mood, which made Winnie distressed.
"Luke, do you miss Mommy, so you are depressed?"
Winnie seemed to have found out the reason of Luke's depression. She had never asked him if he
missed his birth mother and had been missing this reason.
Winnie wanted to make her two children had preparation, or she would not have asked about his
mother.
If Luke's depression was because of his mother, his depression would be completely recovered.
"Well, I haven't got anything to think about. I just want to find Mommy. But I was too young to find her. I
have to wait until I am older."
Luke told Winnie frankly.
"Auntie, in fact, since I met you, I don't often think of Mommy. I only think of her when you are not
around."
From Luke's words, Winnie learnt that he was very dependent on her and finally knew that she was
already a Mommy to him.
"Luke, if I am your Mommy, can you accept it?"
Winnie looked at Luke with expectation. She wanted to know his reaction and if he would get hurt.
"Really? Are you really my Mommy?"
Luke looked at her incredibly. He had wanted to let Winnie be his Mommy. Even if she was not, he
wanted Winnie to be his mother all his life.
"Answer me first, do you want me to be your Mommy?"
Winnie was pleased to see that Luke was excited, but she wanted to know if her presence hurt the
child.
"Yes, yes, I want you to be my Mommy. I hope you are my Mommy."
Luke hurriedly answered.
It was what he had wanted all along. How could he not like Auntie?
At this time Megan heard it and ran over.
"Mommy, if Luke is your child, then I am a child of Uncle. Can he be my Daddy?”
Looking at the children’s expectant eyes, Winnie did not know how to answer.
She was guilty and felt depressed.
She did not know how things would develop in the future. Brian was not the one she could control.
Would Megan and Luke leave her?
Every time Winnie thought about these things, she wanted to give up everything and run away with her
two children, but she couldn't be so selfish.
"Megan, I am just hypothesizing. It's not necessarily true. Even if I am Luke's Mommy and you are
Uncle Brian's daughter, we can't live together."
Winnie's words were complicated, so the two children were puzzled.
"Why? Families are supposed to stay together."
"I don’t understand either."
Asked the children, both puzzled.
"You are too young to understand some things. In short, father and mother could not live together.
What will you do then?"
Winnie did not go on to explain because the children were too young to bear the pressure.
"I will stay with you."
Luke answered directly, because he felt depressed to live with Daddy. Living with Auntie would be
much easier.
"Me, too. But I will miss Uncle."
Megan’s answer was the same with Luke’s.
"I will miss him too. We can visit him when we miss him."
Luke seemed to comfort Megan.
He always felt that if he didn't stay with Winnie, he would never see her again. If he was with her, he
could see Daddy.
"If only we could be together."
Megan was still disappointed. No matter whether Brian was her father or not, she didn't want to leave
him.
Winnie looked at the two children's reaction, feeling distressed. Both children could accept this fact, but
what they needed more was a complete home.
The next day Winnie drove Vanessa to the airport and got preparation after she came back.
Vanessa had decided to go to college in B City, so Winnie must find a stable job in B City, otherwise the
life of the family would be limited by money.
Having been a "free person" at Bennet Group, she had nothing to do with the company. And not it was
good to her, so that she could leave at any time.
Winnie began to send out resumes and began to look for a suitable job. But it was not easy to find a
company that matched the Bennet Group in B City.
Before Winnie accepted her next job, she had to sort out the works of the Bennet Group. When she
pulled out that phone and was to make sure if there anything she could do, she found that Brian's
phone number had been deleted.
Slightly sad, Winnie called Albert.
"Albert, when my work will be handed over?"
Winnie asked in a gentle voice.
"I'll ask now and I'll call you later."
Albert was reporting work in Brian's office. As for Winnie's work, he needed to ask Brian.
But to his surprise, Winnie could directly ask Brian, why had she called him?
"And, will I have nothing to do with the Bennet Group after handover?"
Winnie needed to confirm to avoid any troubles.
"All right, I'll ask."
Albert hung up the phone. Then he looked at Brian who had a cold face.
"Mr. Bennet, it is Winnie. She asked when the job would be handed over and whether she would have
nothing to do with the Bennet Group after the handover."
Albert passed on Winnie's words, but he did not want her to leave.
The company needed such all-round talents as Winnie, and Brian was more in need of Winnie than the
company.
Brian became soft since he was with Winnie. But since knowing Wendy would come back, he
recovered the original indifference, even beyond the past.
It showed that he could not leave Winnie, but he only vented his anger on them.
"Have you found a replacement for Winnie?"
Asked Brian coldly.
He was angry that Winnie called Albert.
"Yes."
"Mr. Bennet, Winnie is a rare talent. We will lose a lot if we let her go like this. Once she is hired by
another company, it will be a threat to us..."
"Bring her over tomorrow. Tell her she will have nothing to do with the Bennet Group after the
handover."
Brian decisively interrupted Albert's words.
He knew that Albert wanted to retain Winnie, but he could not hear him to say that, for fear he would do
so.
"......"
Albert was silent seeing that Brian was resolute.
"Mr. Bennet, you always say that there is a clear distinction between public and private affairs. Can you
make a clear distinction between public and private affairs for Winnie? Winnie's departure is a great
loss to the company."
Calvin chimed in to persuade Brian. He really didn't want Winnie to leave.
"Yes, Mr. Bennet, none of the new people we've found can match Winnie's ability. If Winnie leaves
us..."
Morgan also persuaded at the risk of being scolded.
Winnie was important to Brian, which he might have not realized that. But they felt Brian would regret
for the rest of his life for losing Winnie,.
However, Brian was still persistent and interrupted Morgan angrily.
"Do as I tell you, and no one is allowed to mention it again."
"Do as | tell you, and no one is allowed to mention it again."
