There was silence on both sides of the phone for a while before Winnie finally broke the silence.
"I'm sorry about what happened today. I was so abrupt. The kids really didn't tell me about the
appointment. If I'd known, I'd have asked my aunt to see them off."
"Explain to Wendy. Don't make her think too much."
"No, she won't think too much about it."
Even if Winnie did not explain, he knew that it was the two children making trouble.
They suddenly met, which not only made Wendy embarrassed, but also made Winnie uncomfortable.
"Well, go to play."
Winnie hung up the phone.
Thinking of Brian's trust to Wendy, she reminded his trust to Penny.
Wendy had secretly seen her twice, and her words were sharper, which was enough to prove that she
really cared about her presence. And Brian thought that Wendy was kind.
The plot was familiar, as if it were about to happen all over again. Would she stay out of trouble this
time or would she be hurt worse?
Brian put down the phone and told the children that Mommy was fine.
As soon as they had finished speaking, a great cry of misery was heard.
Yes, the owner of the voice was Wendy.
Megan and Luke hurriedly looked to the sound, only to see Wendy bouncing back and forth,
screaming.
Megan and Luke laughed with satisfaction.
Wendy came back with the help of the staff. Her face was pale. Seeing that, Megan and Luke was
happy.
But it was just the beginning, the two children did not let her go. A park trip was a difficult adventure for
Wendy, which almost killed her.
At the end of the day, Brian sent two children home.
Downstairs, two children began to praise Wendy.
"Wendy, you did a good job today. I am jealous. When I grow up, I must be as brave as you."
Megan said sweetly, even if it was flattery, it made people pleased.
"As long as Megan and Luke are happy, I will take you out to play if there is a chance."
Wendy had been tortured for a day, and her speech was feeble. She was tired.
"Great, do contact us when you have time."
Megan said in compliment Brian embraced her to get off the car.
At this time, Wendy pushed open the door and got off.
"Goodbye, kids."
Wendy forced herself to say goodbye, in fact, she never wanted to see them again.
“Wait for me in the car. I'll take them upstairs.”
Brian moved forward holding one kid in each hand.
Vanessa suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Brian, you come to send them back."
Vanessa greeted Brian with a smile.
Brian was glad to see her because he hadn't seen her in a long time.
"Yes, we are tired from a day of play, so I sent them back."
"Vanessa, how are you? I don’t worry about your study. Let me know if you need help in other aspects."
"I am fine, I will let you know if I need help."
Vanessa shifted her attention to Wendy.
“And this is?”
"She is my fiancee, Wendy."
"Wendy, this is the children’s aunt, Vanessa."
Brian helped to introduce.
"Hello, I am Vanessa."
When Vanessa heard that it was Brian's fiancée, she was upset immediately. But she was same as
Winnie. They always put the worry hidden deeply and pretended to be ok.
"Hello."
Wendy said two words only. Maybe she was tired, maybe she was disdainful, her voice was low.
Vanessa saw that this woman did not like her, so she did not continue to see her.
"I wish you happiness, Brian, on behalf of my family."
"I'll take the two kids with me, thank you, Brian."
"Good-bye, Brian, Good-bye, Wendy!"
Vanessa said politely and left with two children.
The more people looked down on her, the more generous she would be, so she raised her voice
deliberately as she said goodbye to Wendy.
"Winnie's sister?"
Wendy asked in a low voice, and deliberately leaned on Brian's shoulder because she was tired.
"Yes, she is excellent. She was the provincial top scorer in the college entrance examination, and a top
student in B University."
Speaking of Vanessa, Brian felt proud.
"Good for her. But I don't think she looks like Winnie, but rather like your sister."
It was the first time Wendy had met Vanessa, but she felt familiar.
"It's a coincidence."
Everyone saw Vanessa and his sister would say that they looked similar, perhaps this was fate.
“I am tired, Brian. I have sacrificed so much today for your two children.”
Wendy suddenly changed the topic, turned around to directly circle Brian's waist, leaning on Brian's
arms.
She knew that at this time Brian would not refuse her hug.
Brian was not used to such contact, but now he could only endure it because of what Wendy said
today.
He was silent for a moment, and then he spoke in a low voice.
"The children had fun today. Thank you for your efforts."
Brian said politely, which made Wendy feel strange.
“How do you thank me?”
Brian's politeness made her uncomfortable, but she still felt it was important to seize the opportunity.
"How do you want me to thank you?"
Asked Brian.
"I don't need anything, but you accompany me to go home."
Wendy said softly and Brian knew her meaning.
"OK, let's get in the car."
Brian understood, but it was his decision to do it or not.
Brian helped Wendy open the door, but saw Winnie.
Winnie was looking at them. Seeing their intimate move, Winnie was more sure that what Brian gave
her was delusion.
What a beautiful picture, what a happy scene. But such a beautiful scene made Winnie heartache.
She sadly withdrew her sight as if nothing had happened. And she headed the direction of home.
The next day was a weekend, and Winnie took a break. She was much better and did not need to go to
the hospital for infusion, so she took two children and Vanessa to the suburbs.
She stayed in the suburbs only after making sure that Brian would not be there. Brian did not come to
the suburbs, but Stella came to visit her father at lunch.
They greeted and began to eat lunch.
Winnie knew Stella didn't like her, so she ate without talking, which made her feel restrained.
"Stella, eat more. These dishes were all made by Winwin."
Rufus praised Winnie in a variety of ways while eating.
"Well, it's delicious. The children are lucky to have a Mommy who are good at cooking."
Stella praised gently.
Knowing that Winnie take good care of the two children, she was pleased.
"My aunt cooks for kids at home. I'm so busy with work to cook for them."
Winnie inadvertently mentioned aunt, which stunned Rufus.
"Winwin, why didn't you bring your aunt over, so that we can meet and I can thank her."
Stella was grateful to Winnie’ aunt for taking care of the two children. She had made much more efforts
than she had.
"My aunt said she had been tired for a week. She just wanted to rest at home these two days. I'll bring
her over when I get a chance."
Winnie said softly.
"Ok."
Stella looked at the sensible Winnie and thought about Wendy and Penny. It seemed that neither of
them was better than Winnie.
"Vanessa, right? Are your study nervous? I heard that you're a rare talent."
Stella changed the topic to Vanessa.
"Thank you for your praise. My study is not so nervous."
Vanessa is as decent as Winnie, but more lively.
"Your age is the best years of life. Be sure to live a wonderful life, do not live up to the good years.
When I was twenty..."
At this, Stella stopped suddenly and looked over her father.
"Dad, do you think Vanessa looks like me when I was 20 years old?"
Stella reminded Rufus.
He felt so when he first saw Vanessa, but he forgot it after a long time.
"Yes. When I first met Vanessa, I thought she looked like you. Not just like you when you were twenty,
but like you now."
Rufus looked up and down at Vanessa and Stella while speaking.
Everyone said Stella looked like him, but who did Vanessa look like?
Thinking of this, Rufus looked at Winnie. They looked less alike.
Winnie looked like her aunt, even her dimples.
"Vanessa and Winwin don’t look alike, do you look like father and the other looks like mother?"
Rufus feels his question was very gossip, but he wanted to ask.
"My sister looks like my aunt, and I don't look like my father or my mother. It could be a genetic
mutation or my parents made a mistake at the hospital."
Vanessa said jokingly. She had been accustomed to this question. When her parents were alive, she
always asked why she did not look like them, her parents always gave such an answer, so she used to
give such an explanation.
"Vanessa, what a joke. It happens all the time. My friends' kid doesn't look like Mom or Dad."
Stella took it as a joke.
However, Rufus and Winnie had chance on face.
Rufus's change was because Vanessa said that Winnie looked like her aunt, and Winnie reminded
Vanessa when she was a child.
She was eight years older than Vanessa. The arrival of her sister was very sudden for her.
Now it had been twenty years. Time passed by fast.
