Isobel felt Rufus’s words not realistic at all.
“I’m doing this for the sake of the kids. I’m afraid I’ll be found out one day. Besides, Brian and Stella
both know me. We can’t pretend we don’t know each other.”
“Go back, it is just a New Year, the children have another chance to be together.”
Isobel’s attitude was firm. With that, she bypassed Rufus to leave directly.
Rufus thought simply. Although more than 20 years had passed, although she was old and her
appearance had changed, but she was always so clear in the hearts of Brian and Stella. They could not
forget the person who caused their mother’s death.
In the next morning after the children went to the suburbs, Isobel took Vanessa to A City. Winnie went
straight to the cemetery on her way back from the airport.
Holding a bunch of flowers in her hands, Winnie was at ease when she looked at her parents’ smiling
faces. Although she didn’t have anything particularly sad this time, she still felt sad when she could not
spend festival with her parents.
“Dad and Mom, the new year is coming soon, be happy in heaven. The family is good recently, and it
will be better and better in the future, don’t worry about us.”
With that, Winnie put the flowers next to the tombstone, and then continued to chat with her parents.
“Your two grandkids are very obedient, and Vanessa is the pride of you. She ranks first in this exam in
school. You don’t have to worry. She’ll find the best job in the future.”
“My aunt is healthy. She said she must take good care of herself, so that she can help me with the
children and not cause troubles.”
Speaking of this, Winnie gave a warm smile.
“Fortunately, I have family with me. My aunt, Vanessa and the children are the power of my survival. I
will take good care of myself for them. Mom and Dad......”
However, Winnie suddenly heard Brian’s deep voice. She looked over and saw Brian coming towards
her.
“I’ll see you next time, Mom, Dad.”
Winnie said and walked toward Brian.
She didn’t want her parents to see Brian. Seeing the person who bullied their daughter, her parents
would hate him.
Just a few tombstones away, Brian walked up to Winnie’s parents, and Winnie was already in front of
him.
“What are you doing here? What destiny is it? Why do we always meet in the cemetery?”
Winnie was teasing feebly, perhaps this was the fate hinting at them, only after death they could be
together.
Although it is her imagination, such a thought made her sad.
“I came to see my mother.”
As he said this, he looked at the tombstone with flowers on it. Unfortunately, the photos and words on
the tombstone were blocked by flowers, and she couldn’t see anything.
“I also came to see my parents, I am now going back.”
Winnie bypassed Brian to walk away, but Brian closely followed Winnie.
“So am I. Let’s go.”
“The children are good, you don’t have to worry.”
Brian found a topic. He knew Winnie would not avoid such topic.
“Good, don’t spoil them.”
Winnie said but did not stop her pace.
“Has Vanessa gone to A City?”
Brian constantly looked for a topic, just wanting to talk with Winnie, even if it was irrelevant, Brian
wanted to say a few words.
“Yes. I just got here after taking them to the airport.”
Winnie said and quickened her pace.
Although she wanted to let it be, but in the face of Brian, her heart was restless. She was afraid that
she could not do it.
“Winwin, can you and Megan stay?”
Brian also quickened his pace, overtaking Winnie in the parking lot and blocking her path.
“Let’s have a chat. Grandpa won’t allow Wendy to go our home in the New Year. I’ll tell Grandpa, he’ll
agree with you and Megan to celebrate the New Year together.”
Brian was anxious. He was afraid Winnie left again.
He wanted Winnie to stay and celebrate the New Year with them, which was a rare opportunity for him.
After the marriage with Wendy, there would be no such a possibility.
This topic made Winnie sad. She lifted her eyes looking at Brian.
“The New Year is a time for families to get together and relax, and your family will feel constrained
because I’m an outsider. Besides, it’s impossible that Wendy doesn’t know I am coming to your home.
It will make her angry again.”
“Never mind, I have booked the air ticket and will take Megan back in a few days.”
Winnie stood still.
She raised her head and looked at Brian again.
“Mr. Bennet, I think I’ve said more than once that I won’t let you call me Winwin. Why haven’t you
noticed?”
Winnie did not know what she was entangled, why she was so persistent? Every time Brian called her
Winwin, her heart was beating disorderly, while every time he called her Winnie, her heart froze.
“I like calling you like that. I’m used to it. You can remind me, but I will not change it.”
“Winwin, I know I have ignored your feelings, I would like to say sorry to you again for Wendy
slandered you and Klara hugged me.”
“Don’t be angry and don’t keep distance with me. If you don’t forgive me, I have been thinking about it
and I can’t calm down when I am at work. For that I can feel at ease, can you forgive me?”
Brian had been tortured exhaustedly, but he knew that if was not Winnie torturing him, but himself. He
could not get over Winnie, but he could not be with her, this feeling was perhaps the most painful.
Winnie gazed at Brian who was sad and felt distressed. She told herself to believe it once that all his
troubles were because of her, because he cared about her.
“I don’t blame you, and I don’t hate you. As long as you can be happy, I don’t love you in vain. From
now on you can call me whatever you want. I won’t restrain you anymore.”
“Go back and...”
Before she could finish, she was stopped by Brian’s sudden embrace.
“I’m sorry I can’t give you anything. I’m really sorry.”
Brian hated himself. Every time he heard Winnie said she loved him, he felt he was a heinous bastard.
He only hurt Winnie and brought her no happiness, there was no way to make up for. He told himself to
let go of Winnie and stay away from Winnie, so that she might have happiness, but every time he
thought of it, his heart was very painful.
He was selfish, and his selfishness hurt the woman he loved most.
“Don’t say that. I’ll be serious if you do. I’ll think you love me, too.”
“Don’t say you’re sorry. These words make me feel like my love is burden for you. I dare not even say I
love you again.”
“Be sensible. It will be harder for you if I was desperate.”
Winnie didn’t refuse Brian’s hug. Instead, she patted Brian’s back and said what she wanted to say in a
gentle voice, as if she was comforting Brian and reminding herself.
She remined herself to be sober that the hug now was not real. If it was real, she would pursue it, even
if her heart would be broken into pieces, even if Brian did not love her.
Brian let Winnie go ad his eyes were sometimes soft and sometimes firm.
“If I am desperate, will you cooperate with me? Will you believe me if I say I love you?”
Brian had a desperate impulse, regardless of everyone, as long as they were happiness.
Winnie stared at Brian and did not understand why he said so. She was not sure it was true or false.
She was flustered and didn’t know how to answer the question. So she could only run away quickly,
away from the crazy man.
Winnie said she would let it be, why at this juncture she escaped? If a man was not rational, it was
really like the roaring lion.
Brian watched Winnie leave and did not go after her, or he would not control his emotions. He had
always been cold and calm, but every time he saw Winnie, he had a kind of inexplicable impulse.
But there was too much helplessness after he calmed down.
After his mother died, he became independent. There was nothing that could catch him. No matter how
difficult things were, he would try his best to solve the problems.
But meeting Winnie, that all-powerful and omnipotent Brian had no more way to solve.
Winnie was busy, but took time to reunite with friends, after all, the New Year is coming.
The first person Winnie called was Leo. Because no matter how busy he was, he would come and
meet her.
“Are you free tomorrow night? Let’s go to Daenerys’ home.”
“Ok. You get ready.”
Leo agreed with Winnie’s request. Even if he was not available, he would make it. But when Winnie
called, he was thinking of Emily.
After leaving Emily’s home that day, Leo called Emily several times, but she did not answer. When he
could not the voice of Emily or see her, Leo was panic.
“And take Emily. Will you contact her or shall I contact her?”
How could Winnie forget Emily? They couldn’t be happy without her.
“I’ll do it.”
Leo put down the phone, but he felt difficult. Emily did not answer his phone, how he contacted her, but
since he had promised Winnie, he could not let het down. Even if Emily did not answer the phone, he
must find Emily.
After word, Leo came to Emily’s home. He knew that he was not qualified to find Emily at the moment,
but he wanted to take this opportunity to talk with Emily.
Standing at the door of Emily’s house, Leo hesitated, not afraid of meeting Emily but her parents,
because he did not know how to explain to them.
