Wendy was emotional and did not want to confirm her speculation. She said with her voice rising
uncontrollably and fury of disappointment.
"Brian, why didn't you tell me before I came back? What do you by that?"
"It is my fault. I didn't know my daughter existed when you decided to come back, and I didn't know
about her until recently. But I must tell you now, because you would be even angrier if I tell you after we
get married.”
Brian said sorry, but there was no guilty expression on his face, instead, he was brimming with
happiness.
Looking at the happiness on Brian's face, Wendy panicked. Was this happiness coming from his
daughter, or from her mother?
"You mean her mother has been keeping it a secret, so she is selfish and wants to use the child to be
with you?"
"No, she not that kind of person. She doesn't want anything from me. She just wants to live with the
children.”
Brian explained and did not want to hear someone say something bad about Winnie. In his heart
Winnie is perfect. Even if she had shortcomings, it could only be said by him, others were not qualified
to say so.
"She wants nothing? If she was really so noble, why did she do surrogacy."
Wendy was flurried and upset because Brian's words. She only said one sentence, and Brian began to
defend her. Brian hurt her and trampled on her self-esteem.
"Wendy, please don't get her involved in our affairs. It is true that she is a surrogate, but it has nothing
to do with you, and you cannot denigrate her."
Brian was angry, but he suppressed, but he did not control his tone. He found that as long as Winnie
was mentioned, he could not calm down. This was also a way of love.
"Brian, you still protect her. You like her, don't you?"
Wendy got tears in eyes. She did not expect that and it was a heavy blow to her.
"I said it had nothing to do with her, and we should not get her involved in our business. I told you all
these things, now you have two children to think about. If you can accept them, we will get married. If
you can't..."
"If you can leave both children with that woman, but you can’t contact with that woman, we'll get
married now."
Wendy did not dare to let Brian finish his words. She was afraid that Brian gave up her because of the
two children. Now he had changed and it was not that Brian who was willing to wait for her.
She could not bear it now that he might go into another woman's arms if she were not careful.
"......"
Brian did not say any more, but frowned deeply.
This was the woman he had been waiting for for so many years, but she could not accept his children.
After a silence in the office, Brian spoke again.
"The two children can stay with her, but it is impossible that I don’t contact her, after all, there are
children. I didn't tell Grandpa about the children. If he knows, he would probably let me stay with the
mother of the children. After all, he will think about the children. So you mustn't mention it to Grandpa."
Brian's tone softened.
In order not to let grandpa know, he could only give Wendy sense of crisis, so as to keep the secret of
the children and the two children could be with Winnie.
Now it seemed that it was the right choice that Winnie had the two children. Winnie insisted on having
the children, because she guessed that Wendy would not accept the children.
He should thank for Winnie, or his children would have become unwanted orphans.
"I won't tell him, I certainly won't tell him. I can get in touch with that woman about the children. If I can't
deal with it, you can..."
“You don't like children at all, and you don't know them. Besides, I am the father of the children. I will
miss the children and will see the children often. You said you will contact with the children's mother, do
you mean I can’t see the children?"
"Wendy, if I agree to marry you, I won't get in touch the children's mother. You don't need to mind her."
Brian directly opposed Wendy's statement. He had to see the children and Winnie, and he could not let
Wendy contact with Winnie. He was afraid that Wendy was jealous and would do harm to Winnie like
Penny did.
"Keep your words, and don't have too much contact with that woman. We are getting married now, and
the wedding can be held later."
Wendy was not at ease. Although Brian promised her, she panicked and had feeling that she would
lose Brian.
"We will get married until you see Grandpa. We will go to the old house tonight. By the way, Uncle
Thomas is also there."
Brian politely refused. Getting married made him feel terrible, because he could not see Winnie again.
Brian refusal worried Wendy, but she could do nothing about it.
Winnie was in a bad mood since she saw Brian and Wendy hugged together yesterday.
When she got home, she couldn't show it. She couldn't tell anyone. She was suffocating at that
thought.
From yesterday till now, Brian had been calling her. But she could not pick it up and she did not know
what to say. Should she bless him or blame him? So she turned her phone on mute and looked at that
familiar number.
Brian was cruel to use that way to let her give up. Didn't he think it was cruel?
Other people's love was so happy and natural, why her love was so bitter and sad?
Winnie didn't go home after work, she told her family that she had to work overtime and then she went
to visit her parents' grave. Only her parents would listen to her at this time.
But when she came to her parents’ grave and looked at the smiling faces on the tombstone, Winnie did
not want to disturb their peace and swallowed her words back.
"Mom and dad, are you all right? Aunt and Vanessa as well as me and the children are all right. Don't
worry about us. Just take care of yourself."
"Mom and dad, I'm working hard to make money right now. When Vanessa's house loan is repaid, I
want to buy back the villa where we used to live. There are memories of us and those memories are
the happiest moments for me."
She might keep those memories for a lifetime, because the memories Brian gave her were too painful.
It was like a scar got uncovered. It was a terrible feeling, and she'd rather seal it.
"Mom, you love Vanessa. She studied hard and self-motivated. She is the backbone of her class and
school. She will be an outstanding person in the future. You will be proud of her.”
"......"
Winnie told her parents the good news and did not mention her sorrow.
After chatting with her parents for a while, she felt better and said goodbye to them. Winnie decided to
go home.
When she reached the parking lot and was about to find her car, a familiar voice came from behind,
and Winnie suddenly stopped there.
"Winwin."
Brian called Winnie from behind.
He came to the cemetery to visit his mother because of depression, but when he came out, he saw a
familiar figure.
He was excited. He had been calling her for two days, but she did not answer, and now they met here.
Winnie did not turn around and she could tell it was Brian. Only by hearing his voice, her heart hurt.
But she had to face it. For the children, she had to take the pain for a lifetime.
Winnie gathered her emotions and forced herself to look calm. Then she turned around and looked at
Brian.
"Mr. Bennet, I'm here to see my parents. I definitely am not to create chance for encountering. Please
don't misunderstand me."
Winnie said. She knew that Brian hated her, so she explained, otherwise he would hate her more.
"Winwin, I don't think in that way. Can we talk?"
Brian said with guilty.
"There's nothing to talk about. Tell me when you're ready to get married. I will tell the kids. We have
nothing to do with each other and I understand what you mean, there is no need to say any more."
"Mr. Bennet, I wish you happiness."
Winnie said that with a bitter smile, and then turned to leave.
"Winwin...If there is a suitable person, you can get married. As long as he is good to the children, I will
not interfere in your marriage."
Brian said the important thing when Winnie did not give him a chance to explain.
Daenerys was right. Even if he loved Winnie deeply, he could not deprive her of happiness selfishly.
Even if he felt sad when she got married, he could not interfere with her marriage.
Only when she was married and happy could he feel at ease and forget this love.
When Winnie heard that, she felt sad.
Brian's meaning was too obvious. Only when she had a stable family, only when she married, he would
be steadfast and believed that she would not disturb his life.
Winnie bit her lower lip.
"Sure, thank you for giving me the chance. I'll get married when I find the right man."
Winnie pretended to be clam and said.
"Winwin, I call you in the future is because the children, you don't have to avoid me."
He had to say so because he was worried when she refused to answer the phone, because he would
miss her when he could not hear her voice.
"I see."
Winnie answered and strode away directly.
Winnie gave a look of self-mockery. It seemed that she had overthought, he called was not to explain.
Brian took Wendy back to the old house after he returned to the cemetery.
Uncle Thomas and his family were not at home on a date with an old friend, so it was easier to cope
with.
"Grandpa, I'm home."
