Winnie's eyes dodged, but she did not look up do others could not see it.
"He took you to the guest bedroom the day you were drunk. You're fighting so loudly, so we heard you."
Daenerys explained.
"Why don't I remember? I don't think it's likely. If he did say it, he didn't mean it. He must have
intention."
Winnie sighed, adjusted her mood, and then looked up.
"I know you're all worried about me, and I know it's going to be hard for me to get over Brian for the rest
of my life. But we really can't be together."
"You needn't worry about me. I can take care of myself."
Winnie knew that everyone was kind and that there were only a few people in the world who were
sincere to her. That was why she didn't want to see people upset about her.
Even though she drank too much that night, she remembered everything Brian said, but she still didn't
believe what Brian said was true.
She could not believe that a man could make the woman he loved so miserable.
Soon after dinner, Brian drove Wendy and the children back. In order to avoid the embarrassment of
meeting Winnie, Brian sent Wendy home first and then the two children.
When he came back from that, his father was still in the living room, seemingly waiting for him.
Brian sat aside without saying anything.
"I told Winwin to come here. I was afraid you wouldn't be used to eating alone with me for the first time,
so I asked Winwin and the children to be here. Seeing Wendy was here, she was afraid Wendy would
not be happy, so she found an excuse and left."
Rufus said, because he knew that Brian would not communicate with him for the time being. It was
good enough that Brian could sit down.
Rufus continued.
"I knew you had chosen Wendy when you brought Wendy here today. Since so, you should keep a
distance from Winwin and don't regret it."
Rufus waited in the living room for such a long time just to say these two words to Brian.
He had to warn Brian not to spend his life in regret as he did.
Rufus got up and went back to his room.
After listening to Rufus's words, Brian felt more self-reproach. He brought Wendy back, which made
Winnie leave in embarrassment.
Brian went back to the room, lying on the big bed that still have fragrance of Winnie, which made him
comfortable.
He then picked up the mobile phone and texted Winnie.
"Have you had your supper? Are you home now?"
Winnie had just returned to the parking space downstairs when she received Brian's message.
She stopped and turned off the car, unbuckled the seat belt, and then took the phone out.
Looking at Brian’s message, she was in a daze and did not reply.
She could not contact Brian like this. She must adhere to her own principles, in addition to the children,
she could not communicate with Brian.
Even though she told herself so, she had no intention of replying, she couldn't put her phone down
after reading the message.
Actually, she had been having an unrealistic idea. She hoped that Brian become poor, even poorer
than her, so that they could have a chance.
For this unrealistic idea, she would wait for him, till she was old, till next life, and she couldn't believe
that God wouldn't give them a chance.
Brian had been looking at the phone and waiting for Winnie’s reply, even if only to tell him whether she
had a meal.
But soon after, he could not help but send another message.
"I have kept my promise with you and moved back to the suburbs, and you must promise me that the
necklace will not be taken off."
After that, he expected a reply.
Looking at another message, Winnie’s feeling could not be described with words.
No matter what Brian said, she told herself to ignore him and just wait. Their relationship should be put
off until there was a chance.
Winnie resolutely put away the phone, and then walked home.
Brian felt asleep while he was waiting.
Time passed fast and it was weekend, Winnie was busy. At the end of year, she had to summarize the
work and the game's promotional video also began to be shot.
Winnie thought was nervous before the shooting, but when she was in the studio, she felt steadfast.
She had no other thoughts but to concentrate on making the promo.
it was Winnie's first day of shooting, Leo was worried and came to have a look, but he only stood
outside the studio, afraid that Winnie would be more nervous.
Secretly looking at Winnie, who worked hard, Leo involuntarily appreciated that, like looking at his
lover.
Emily knew that Winnie began shooting today, so she came to cheer Winnie up. From a distance, she
saw Leo standing outside the studio. Emily did not call him and wanted to give him a surprise.
But when Emily walked close to him, she felt upset when she saw love in Leo’s eyes.
That kind of lusting eyes for a woman was luxurious for Emily. They were lovers, but Emily had never
seen that.
Love could be seem in his eyes and it was unreachable for Emily.
Was the person Leo loved Winnie? Oh, no. They were good friends. If he loved her, why waited until
now?
She must be overthinking.
Emily comforted herself and brushed away any unwanted thoughts. She first gave an indifferent smile
and then walked close to Leo.
"Here you are."
Emily gave Leo a playful pat on the shoulder, which really startled the hyper-focused Leo.
Leo turned his head sideways and looked at Emily with a mixture of concealment and panic in his eyes.
"Come and see Winnie, it is the first day of shooting, I am afraid there will be a problem. Why did you
come without telling me?"
Leo’s voice was not as warm as before, apparently he did not expect that Emily would come.
"I know Winwin shoots today, so I come to see her. She didn't know it, I am going to surprise her."
Emily had uncertainty in heart spontaneously seeing dodge in Leo’s eyes.
"Well, I'm relieved you're here with her. I gotta go to work. Let’s have lunch together."
Then Leo gave Emily a kindly smile and turned to leave.
No hug when they met, no goodbye when they parted, even friends were not so strange to get long.
Emily suspected that Leo had no love for her.
Winnie's work was going well until Emily walked in when she stopped for a rest.
"Winwin, you are great. I think you're more suitable to be an actress."
Emily couldn't stop praising her.
"No, I have no experience at all. I'd be ashamed if the actor hadn't done it so well."
Winnie was modest. No matter how well she did, she felt she didn't work hard enough.
"You are good. Have faith in yourself."
Emily envied Winnie very much. No matter what she did, she was so excellent.
"When have you come? I didn't see you."
Winnie asked Emily as she rummaged in her bag for her phone.
"I have been here for a while. And I have been looking outside. I was afraid to influence you if I came
in."
As Emily spoke, Winnie had turned on her phone.
Daenerys sent a message to calm her down and tell her to do her best. And there were a few
unimportant messages.
Now the only person who sent her a message was Brian.
"I heard from the children that you start shooting today, don't be nervous and don't have pressure, just
do your best!"
It made Winnie feel bitter.
What was that? The encouragement between friends or concern for the sake of the children? Winnie
didn't want to see either of it. It affected her mood.
Emily waited in the studio until noon, because Winnie’s makeup took a long time, Leo brought the lunch
to the studio, because of Winnie, the whole team had a good meal.
"After the meal, you go back. You are busy, how can you company me? I can’t pay back this favor."
Winnie said. She didn't want everyone wasting their time on her.
"I will leave soon, I gotta work this afternoon."
Leo replied. He was relieved to see that all was well with Winnie.
"I'm busy this afternoon too, and we can't even spend time with you even if you want us to. By the way,
Daenerys says she's coming this afternoon. Let her keep you company."
Emily reminded Winnie.
"She can't come, I'll make a call to her."
As Winnie's voice fell, Leo's assistant came in.
"Mr. Johnson, Mr. Bennet wants to see you."
As the assistant's voice fell, several people at the table looked up unexpectedly and only to see Brian
standing at the door of the studio, giving a sense of oppression.
Leo looked back at Winnie, and then put down his chopsticks and stood up. By this time, Brian had
already walked in.
Winnie took back her sight and continued to eat. Whether he came or not, it could not affect her.
"Mr. Bennet, have you had lunch by this hour? We..."
Leo greeted first. He was not sure why Brian came to him, but the reason must be related to Winnie
since he came to the studio.
"Yes, I have."
Brian replied coolly, but his sharp eyes were fixing on the food on the table. See the food was good, he
took back the line of sight, and then fell on the Winnie’s face.
She was wearing makeup, but he could feel her tiredness. He told her more than once not to make her
work so hard, but why didn't she listen to him?
"Mr. Bennet, you want to see me?"
Leo felt the embarrassment between Winnie and Brian, so he spoke.
"Yes, I have a new project I want to work on with Mr. Johnson."
This was one of the purposes for Brian to come here. The most important thing was that he had not
received any message from Winnie, and he was worried, so he took it as an excuse to come and have
a look.
She didn't even look up, but he was relieved to see that she was all right.
"Let's talk in the office, Mr. Bennet."
She was wearing makeup, but he could feel her tiredness. He told her more than once not to make her
work so hard, but why didn't she listen to him?
"Mr. Bennet, you want to see me?"
Leo felt the embarrassment between Winnie and Brian, so he spoke.
"Yes, | have a new project | want to work on with Mr. Johnson."
This was one of the purposes for Brian to come here. The most important thing was that he had not
received any message from Winnie, and he was worried, so he took it as an excuse to come and have
a look.
She didn't even look up, but he was relieved to see that she was all right.
"Let's talk in the office, Mr. Bennet."
