Rufus's words made Megan cry.
"Why? Why no one help my brother and me? What have we done wrong? Why can't we live with
Daddy and Mommy? Even if we have a mistake, let us know, we will correct it, but why can’t you help
us?"
Megan’s cry made Rufus more distressed. Winnie and Stella ran over anxiously.
“What's the matter?”
Stella asked, thinking that the children fell to the ground.
"Sister wants Grandpa to help convince Daddy... Stay with Daddy, Mommy."
Luke felt distressed for his sister, and could not help but cry.
Though the words were broken, Winnie understood why the two children were crying.
"We've been trying so hard for so long. Why hasn't anyone helped us? Are we wrong about wanting a
family or do you just not love us?"
Megan spoke while crying. Her words hurt everyone's heart and made everyone feel guilty.
Two children continued to ask. Several adults could not give an answer and no one promised to help.
The children did not understand the helplessness of adults. They were simple. But simple things
became complicated by adults, who could not fulfill their goal.
However, this scene was recorded by Stella with video and sent to Brian.
Brian and Wendy were having lunch. When Brian saw it was Megan’s crying picture, he did not click it
in front of Wendy.
"I need to use the toilet."
Brian made an excuse to leave and instead of going to the toilet, he went to a safe passage where no
one was.
He clicked the video and saw the two children crying and begging, and Brian's heart was suddenly
pulled together.
As the two children asked them again and again what they had done wrong, why they could not have
both parents and why no one helped them, Brian couldn't control his emotions.
Seeing that two children were so eager for a home, Brian noticed that everything yesterday was false,
and it was disguised by two children. They did not intend to accept Wendy.
Brian was heartbroken, because Megan and Luke begged, because Winnie held back tears and turned
away, because his father was helpless and distressed.
He hurried back to his table.
"I have an emergency need to deal with, I gotta go."
So Brian left and Wendy was confused.
When Brian hurried to the suburbs, he did not see the children or Winnie in the courtyard, but Winnie's
car was still there.
He came to the room, where was sitting Vanessa, Stella and his father. Winnie and the two children
were not there.
“Where are the children?”
Asked Brian anxiously.
"Bedroom upstairs. They seem to be asleep, be quiet."
Stella answered Brian. As her voice fell, Brian had been quickly moved away.
For the sudden appearance of Brian, Vanessa and Rufus were surprised. But Stella knew what was
going on. After she sent the video, she guessed that as long as Brian saw it, he would come, but she
did not expect that Brian would come so fast.
Brian came upstairs and stood at the door of Winnie’s room.
He steadied his mood before he gently pushed open the door.
As expected, the two children fell asleep. Winnie sat beside them, wiping the tears from the corner of
their eyes with one hand and wiping her own with the other. She did not notice Brian's arrival.
However, this scene made Brian feel hurt.
He walked slowly to the bed and wiped away Winnie's tears with his hand. At that moment, Winnie
realized that Brian was standing beside her.
She wiped away her tears as quickly as she could, not wanting Brian to see her fragile side.
"What are you doing here?”
Winnie asked in a very low voice, afraid that the two children would continue to cry if they heard it.
"I knew they were crying and I was worried, so I come."
Brian's voice was very low. He cared about the three people who were now in pain. How could he have
mood to eat?
Winnie looked at Brian in confusion and did not know how he got the news.
"......"
"Let's talk."
Brian l did not explain. The children fell asleep, if they spoke too much, it would wake them up.
"No. We've made everything clear. You live your life and don’t worry the children."
Although Winnie could not guess what Brian wanted to talk about, she felt that nothing was
unnecessary.
Brian did not speak again, but directly took Winnie's hand and headed toward the direction of the
bathroom. He knew that Winnie would not make a sound at this time, and that her strength was not as
strong as his own. This trick was much useful.
Winnie did not dare to speak and did not have the strength, and was finally forced into the bathroom by
Brian.
In the bathroom Brian let go of Winnie's hand.
"We still need to have a talk about our children. We can't let our children feel so sad again."
Brian's tone was low but not cold.
"We have nothing to talk about, and if you want anything to do with children, you can say it."
Winnie did not want to hear Brian’s taunting words.
"The children's business is our business, only our business is clear, the children can be happy."
Brian denied Winnie's claims, saying the key to the problem lied with the two adults. No, to be exact,
the problem lied with him alone. Winnie had nothing wrong.
Winnie bowed her head without a word. The children's happiness was very simple, but they could not
offer them.
"Winwin, no matter what kind of relationship it is between you and me, we can't deny that children have
done nothing wrong. When I heard Megan ask me what mistake she made, I want to slap myself."
"The children's hearts have always been bitter, but I as a father cannot make them sweet. I am guilty to
them."
Brian said with a frown.
"Me too, and I will feel sorry for them for the rest of my life, but there's nothing I can do to change,
nothing I can do for them."
Winnie's mood was bad and she also felt guilty. But how could she change what was meant to be?
"None of us can change, but we should try. Winwin, just think I'm selfish. Just think you're helping me.
Just stay with me for the children."
Brian could only think of this method. He told Winnie so last time because he could not leave Winnie.
But this time he only wanted to make effort for the children.
Although it was unfair to Winnie, although it was very selfish, he wanted to fight for the children.
Winnie stared at Brian. It was clear that he wanted her to be his mistress, just like before.
Hearing Brian's words, Winnie felt hurtful. The last thing she wanted to hear was these words from
Brian, and the last thing she wanted to do was live her life as a mistress.
"Have you thought about the consequences of this?"
Winnie asked in a low voice.
"Yes, I have thought about all the possibilities on Wendy and Grandpa. But I don’t care. I want my
children to be happy."
How could Brian not have thought of the consequences? Without these consequences, he would not
have given up on Winnie.
However, Winnie only sacrificed, it was not fair.
Winnie wanted to let the children be happy than anyone else did. He loved Brian and wanted to marry
him.
But none of this was promising.
For Brian, for the Bennet family, and even for Wendy, Brian's raising a woman outside was a matter of
no importance.
But for Winnie, it was pity, shame, lifetime stain.
"I want them to be happy too, but it's not the best way. As the children grow up and go to elementary
school and then high school, their classmates will laugh at them when they find out that their mother is
a mistress. It's a much bigger blow to them. It's a great insult. It's much more painful than it is right
now."
“Winwin...”
Brian tried to interrupt her, but Winnie stopped him.
"Hear me out."
"Even if it's acceptable to the children, it's not acceptable to me. It's too much for my pride to be a
mistress, especially it's the man I love. I said I want to live with dignity and not let you think less of me."
“Don't overthink. I'm not using the children to be your wife. I know that I am in no way worthy of that
position."
"No matter what you say, I just can't be a mistress. To tell you the truth, I'd rather marry a man I don't
love than live as a mistress of the man I do love."
Winnie paused for a moment, and then gave her final answer.
"I'm sorry, but I can't grant your request."
“Winwin...”
Although he thought that Winnie would say so, Brian did not expect to more hurtful after hearing
Winnie’s words.
"If you want the children to be happy, you should marry Wendy as soon as possible and put an end to
the child's thoughts. As time goes by, the children will not care about these things."
Winnie did not want to listen to Brian's excuses. The more he said, the more harm he would do to her.
"No, the children couldn't get it through. Yesterday in the park, two children got Wendy fooled. They
never want to accept Wendy."
"I know what you mean, Winwin. I know that you would sacrifice and I will make it up to you. Promise
me for the sake of the children."
Brian felt sorry, but he had no other ways.
