Winnie sobbed, and Brian heard the pain in it.
"No, I'm not torturing you. I'm torturing myself."
How could Brian torture her? She was his favorite woman.
"Then I will leave, I will take the children away. You live your happy life. And if we never meet in this life,
you will not torture yourself anymore."
Winnie did not understand what Brian meant. He only knew that his actions to her were like a rusty
blunt knife, which could not kill her at once, but it made her shudder with pain.
"No you can't go, never leave my world. My soul is gone without you."
If she left, he would become a walking dead, his world would have no luster, and his life became
meaningless.
"Well, what do you want? You want to see me in pain to make you happy?"
Winnie tried to hold back all her emotions so as not to burst out and wake the two children.
"I'm not happy, I haven't been happy since you left me, only with you..."
"Brian, please don't say any more. Don't sway my heart. I don't even know now which of your
statements is true and which is not."
Winnie took a deep breath. Her breathing trembled because of crying.
At this moment, she was both sad and angry. She wanted to scold Brian, to put an end to this
ambiguous relationship with him, and to live like a person in front of him.
With this in mind, Winnie did so. She reached out and pulled Brian's sleeve and took him to the
secluded cloakroom. When the door of the cloakroom was closed, where the sound insulation was so
good that no matter how loudly she talked, she would not disturb the children.
"Say what you want. What do you want me to do to make you happy?"
Winnie finally magnified the volume, finally she could shout angrily at him.
But when she looked into his painful eyes, her heart went astray again.
There was no dislike for her in his eyes, no hate for her. She was not sure if it was care, at least it didn't
hurt that much.
“Be my woman, as before. Winwin......"
"Impossible, I can't do it. Kill me rather than make me your woman."
Winnie gave her answer straightforwardly.
The previous life made her miserable and put her in deep danger. She was not afraid of death, but she
could not be selfish just to be with him without caring about the form of being together and the feelings
of her children and family.
"You hate me that much?"
Brian said more painfully. He knew his request was too selfish and that it was unfair to Winnie, but he
just wanted to be with her.
"I don't hate you, I like you, I love you. Listen, Brian, I love you."
Winnie cried loudly. She failed to control her heart and told him she loved him. Although this love would
be laughed at, would be ignored, she really hoped that Brian could let go of her for the sake of her love.
She just wanted a plain life.
Brian was shocked that Winnie loved him. She had said that she did not love him. So it was false,
otherwise Winnie would not be so painful.
"But because I love you, I want to have dignity, I don’t want you to see me with contempt."
"Brian, I don't know when I fell in love with you, but I have decided to forget you, just because it is
impossible between us. So I'm begging you, don't do that to me and let my world be calm."
Winnie cried bitterly and miserably. Now she had no dignity in front of Brian. Would she ignore her love,
would he trample on her love?
Never mind, she had been living in a bad life. Even if Brian trampled on her love, there was nothing to
be afraid of.
Winnie was crying all the time, but she didn't hear any response from Brian. Maybe her love caused
him trouble.
Winnie wiped away tears, pretending to be strong.
"I love you, but it won't affect you, it won't bother you, you can completely ignore what I said. For the
sake of our past relationship, and for the sake of our children, stop treating me like a puppet."
Winnie said and turned to leave, but Brian tightly embraced her.
"No, I never thought of you as a puppet. I had never been afraid of your influence on my life. I had
never despised you or hated you."
On the contrary, he also loved her. He could not extricate himself or give up.
"Winwin, whatever I said before, don't take it to heart. It's not what I really mean. I am not rational
enough. Because I am jealousy, I said so many words to hurt you. I won’t do it again."
"Thank you for your love and I will cherish your love forever."
Brian was moved, because Winnie loved him.
In the end, he did not express his love like Winnie, and finally let Winnie disappointed.
Winnie did not want to hear that. The only thing she wanted to hear was that he loved her too.
However, Brian only said thank you, she had no other feelings except disappointment.
"It's my business, let me go."
Winnie's heart was trembling because of her disappointment.
She wanted to hear him say ‘I love you’, because his words would give her strength to support a
lifetime. But how could he have said that?
Brian reluctantly let go of Winnie. Although he heard that she said she loved him, he had a feeling that
they would be more and more far away.
He felt that Winnie would forget him after what she said. However, he did not want her to forget himself,
want to be in her heart for the rest of his life.
Winnie finally saw the truth at the moment that Brian really did not love her. What he said before was
not true, but it was true that he did not love her.
‘Give up, Winnie, forget it, Winnie, this man is not your destiny.’
Winnie wanted to be strong, put her heart in armor, and got no any harm again.
Winnie turned to Brian. There was no pain, love but reason in her eyes.
"We both know that when we have children, it's impossible to break the bond. Since we can't stay away
from each other in this life, let's get along as friends. I won't be embarrassed to see you, and you don’t
need to avoid seeing me. It's better for both of us and the children."
After that, Winnie turned to leave, and Brian did not stop her. He had no reason to do so.
His hunch came true. Getting along as friends was the furthest distance.
When Winnie got up the next morning, she played with the children and communicated with Brian as if
nothing had happened. She did not show any signs of pain or sadness.
But only she knew, her heart had been block by herself, so that her heart would never be seen by
Brian.
Only in this way could she live happily and freely.
The family of four went out for fun. They went to Disneyland in the morning, went to the beach in the
afternoon, and went to sea the next day.
Winnie was happy these two days, but it was temporarily, because people always had to face the
reality and wake up from the wonderful dream.
The third day, Luke's competition officially began.
Brian, Winnie and Megan sat in the audience, while was in the competition.
Seeing that Luke controlled the computer flexibly and seriously, Winnie knew that Luke had been fully
focused.
Again, the ranking was not important, what was important was the spirit of his courage to face
challenges. Winnie hoped Luke could be an excellent person like Brian when he grew up, prudent and
introverted, wise and upright.
Competition was still on, suddenly a judge went to Luke and stopped next to him.
He looked at Luke's proficiency in operating the computer, looked at his program generated so quickly
and could not help but look at his basic information.
There was a look of surprise in his eyes. He was only five years old, and he was the champion of B
City. He was so skillful at such a young age, either he had a great teacher or great talent, or both.
After five hours, the competition was over and the results were waiting to be announced.
The results would be announced at 3 p.m. Brian had Calvin book a return flight at 6 p.m. Then the
family went out for lunch.
"Luke, you did a good job."
Winnie praised Luke. Although she did not know the results, she knew that children needed
encouragement.
"Mommy, I was nervous. I don't know if I'm going to win this competition."
Luke held the chopsticks but was in no mood to eat.
"Why were you nervous?”
Winnie helped vegetable in Luke's bowl.
"The judge was standing next to me for a long time. He probably realized I wasn't doing a good job.
You know, Mommy, I think he's the chairman of the judges, and if he says my work isn't good, I'm
hopeless."
Luke was very depressed, thinking about the judges.
"Did you do the program carefully when the judge was standing next to you?"
Winnie asked, not eager to comfort him.
"I was serious. I didn't think about him at the time. I was just concentrating on the competition."
Luke can be sure of this, the judges affect the mood is after the competition.
"That's enough. Luke, don't worry, every coin has two sides. You think the Chairman of the Judges
does not think your work is good, but I don’t think so. I think he appreciated your work so much that he
didn't want to move on and look at you longer."
Winnie found the reason for the child's worry before starting to comfort him, which would have a better
effect.
"Really?"
Luke seemed to regain some spirit.
