Stella said to ease the atmosphere, seeing the situation was not right.
"Grandpa, it doesn’t matter you don’t miss me, but have your brought me a present?"
Stella attracted grandpa's attention, not because she felt distressed about Wendy's embarrassment,
but because it was not good for Brian.
It was a family reunion, she was afraid that Grandpa would get angry because of Wendy.
"No, except for Winnie and the children, no one has any presents. None of you can get presents."
Although Stella did not want grandpa to continue this topic, no one could stop him.
"Grandpa, you are right, I also think Winnie is a good person. She is a mother of Luke’s classmate, but
she was willing to help us take care of Luke. I think she is very great."
Jack was in line with him. In short, he kept talking about Winnie.
"All right, let’s eat..."
Felix seemed to say enough and wanted everyone to eat, but Thomas's phone rang and it angered
Felix.
"Your mobile phone always rings when you have a meal. I reminded you not to take your mobile phone
when you have a meal. You are almost 60 years old, but you always forgot that."
Felix blamed him, and Thomas did not care about that.
"I forgot, I pick up elsewhere."
Then Thomas got up and went to the living room.
"Who is it?"
Although it was an unknown number, Thomas picked it up.
"Me, Richard."
"You..."
Hearing Richard's name, Thomas nervously looked back at the table and went back to his bedroom
with his mobile phone.
Thomas’ prudent behavior was seen by Brian, so was Stella.
After dinner, Wendy came to Felix's study alone.
She knocked on the door carefully and entered, looking embarrassed.
"Grandpa, I've come to disturb you."
Felix took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes, but said nothing.
"Grandpa, I was wrong last time. I shouldn't have made you angry. Brian and I have agreed to take
Luke over and live with us as soon as we get married. I will treat him as if he were my own son."
Wendy apologized. Although she was not willing to, although she did not want to see Felix's cold face,
in order to marry Brian as soon as possible, she could only endure it.
"That was what Penny said. How can I believe you? You left because you can’t accept Luke."
Fekix said coldly.
Wendy could not convince him. He was afraid that Wendy would become Penny.
Luke had been unable to withstand a blow again and Felix must be cautious.
"I..."
Wendy did not know what to answer, at the moment she knew that she had left before made her
unbelievable.
"Grandpa, I can't show you that. But I promise you I'll do it. You can see how I treat Luke."
Wendy did not know what to say and could only blindly guarantee. Actually she was not sure if she
could make it.
She didn't like children and didn't know how to get along with them.
And one day Grandpa would know that Megan was a Bennet, and it would be a heavy burden for her to
take care of two children.
"We will see. I know Luke does not agree with you to get married with Brian. You can’t ignore his
feeling and insist on getting married."
Felix said so was to give Wendy opportunity.
"Yes, I have talk about it with Brian, and for the sake of the children, we will postpone the wedding. I
want to move to the suburbs with Brian, so that the family are together, Luke and I will gradually had a
better relationship. By the time he can accept me, we'll be getting married. You can have Brian's hukou,
when the time comes, we will take it with Luke."
Wendy tried to please Felix.
She wanted to move here to cheat the hukou back and wanted to get a marriage certificate without
telling Grandpa and the children. But in order to show it to grandpa, she could only go against her will.
Now she was getting more and more far away from her goal. But if Grandpa did approve of their move
to suburba, it might be a good thing for her.
In this way, they could live together, and their feelings would be deeper and she had not need to worry
about Winnie's involvement.
"Oh, you're moving to the suburbs?”
Felix did not expect that.
Winnie did not finish his task, if Wendy could finish it, it would be good.
“If you think so, talk to Brian. If he agrees, you can move to the suburbs together, where it will be easier
to connect with Luke."
At this, Felix paused before continuing to say.
"Wendy, you know Brian's relationship with his father is not good. If you can restore Brian's relationship
with his father, I will be grateful to you."
Felix's tone finally eased down. Although he did not feel that Wendy was as capable as Winnie, in this
matter perhaps Wendy would have different results.
"I will, don’t worry, Grandpa. I will restore their relationship to what it was before."
Wendy bragged, thinking this was her best chance.
But she neglected to know how rigid the relationship between Brian and his father had become.
On the way home, Wendy couldn't wait to discuss with Brian.
"Brian, I have talked with grandpa. He told me to get along well with Luke, and I agreed. But I can't get
along with Luke, because he is in his mommy's. What do you suggest?"
Wendy asked Brian for advice, but did not directly say what she thought.
"It is not difficult, I'll let you get along some other time. You don't have to care Grandpa's words. Luke
and Megan will always be with their mother. You just need to do a good job when he comes to see
Grandpa."
Brian would not let Luke and Wendy live together. In the case of Penny, he trusted only Winnie.
“But I need Luke to cooperate with me. Brian, why don't we go to the suburbs and live you’re your
father? Then every weekend we can take two children to the suburbs. Even if they don't like me, I can
learn more about their habits and it will be easier for us to cooperate together."
Wendy felt her words convincing and Brian would agree.
"No, I'm not going to the suburbs."
Brian refused coldly.
He could not accept that heartless man. Only when Winnie was in the house, could he feel warm.
Since Winnie left, he had no desire to be there, and even if Wendy wanted to make an effort for the
children, he could not accept it.
"Brian, I know you and your father..."
Wendy still did not give up, but Brian did not give her a chance to continue to say.
"Albert, hurry up and send Wendy home."
"Ok, Mr. Bennet."
Albert answered and stepped on the accelerator.
He learnt Brian’s attitude was firm, but Wendy did not give up.
Albert knew that Brian would never take the suburb as a family without Winnie around. Without Winnie
to mediate, the relationship between them would go sour.
Wendy was sent home and Brian went directly to Winnie's home.
He was to give her a present from his grandfather. And he had been worrying since Winnie left in anger
that day. He could only feel relieved to see that she was well.
Downstairs, Brian called Winnie, but it was Megan answered the phone.
"Dad, I'm Megan. Where are you?"
"Megan, ask Mommy to answer the phone."
Brian knew that Winnie must be there, but she didn't answer his calls.
"Mommy..."
Megan looked up at Winnie and Brian continued.
"Tell Mommy I something to tell her."
The phone was silent for a while before Winnie's voice came.
"What's up?”
"Grandpa came back with a present for you. I'm downstairs. Come down and get it."
Brian whispered and he felt at east only to hear her voice.
"I..."
Winnie wanted to ask him to get up, but the two children would not let him go if they saw him, so she
changed her mind.
"Wait a minute, I'll ask Vanessa to get it."
Winnie didn't want to see him, and if possible, if her job allowed, she wanted to go on an indulgent trip,
to go out for a month or two to broaden her horizons, so she could get over him.
But she had not had such an opportunity, and she could only endure.
"Winwin, get down. I have something to tell you."
The person Brian wanted to see was Winnie. The matter was not so important. He just wanted to see if
she was OK.
"I'll go down if it's about the kids."
Winnie said bluntly. She did not want to have anything other than the children to do with Brian.
"It's about the kids."
Apart from children, Brian had no other topics.
Winnie did not refuse, put down the phone casually, put on her coat and went out.
Brian's car was so good that it was very conspicuous in the community. It was not difficult to find him.
Just as Winnie was about to reach the car, Albert opened the door in the back to greet Winnie.
"I won't get in. Talk here."
Winnie looked at Albert’s smile and became serious.
"Winnie, get in, it's cold outside."
Albert would not miss this opportunity to let two people stay alone. Although he felt difficult that Winnie
and Brian were together, he always thought that they were match.
Winnie was embarrassed to look at Albert standing there for her to open the door, she had to get in the
car and sat beside Brian.
"What's the matter...Atishoo."
Before Winnie finished speaking, she suddenly sneezed.
