Brian said as he headed for the elevator.
Albert drove the car away. He felt he could get off work today.
Winnie could not persuade Brian by this time. Fortunately, there was no one in the elevator. Otherwise
she would be the topic of the neighborhood again.
When he got the room, Brian put Winnie down and closed the door. Winnie ran to the bathroom, and
then came the sound of vomiting.
Brian hurried to find some water and then went to the bathroom.
“Here’s some water. I’ll go down and get you some medicine.”
Brian put the water aside and turned to go out, but Winnie pulled him.
“Don’t bother, I will sleep it off.”
Winnie was gasping for breath, with tears streaming down her face.
“Are you uncomfortable? I told you not to drink.”
Brian was distressed. Seeing that Winnie was tortured by alcohol, he regretted that he brought the
wine.
“I am ok. Go back now or your father will be worried.”
Winnie had been opposing Brian to stay with her. She was not afraid of what Brian would do, but that
she could not control her mood and asked Brian to do something.
“I am worried about you. Don’t talk, drink some water, or you will vomit again.”
Winnie was obedient and gargled. After spitting out the water, her nausea subsided. But because of
vomiting, her stomach and throat were uncomfortable.
She got up, but she had no strength. At this time, Brian bent down to pick up Winnie and took her back
to the bedroom, put her on the bed, and began to undress her.
“I’ll do it myself.”
Winnie felt it too ambiguous. Although they had countless close contact, they were a couple and they
should not do that.
Maybe she was melodramatic, maybe she was pretending to be noble, but she really wanted to live
with dignity in front of Brian.
“Don’t move, or you will throw up again. I’ll help you with clean clothes and I will leave as soon as you
sleep.”
Brian knew what Winnie cared about and knew that she had strong self-esteem. But he would be
thinking about it all night if he left like that.
“Brian, I really will misunderstand if you do that. Don’t be nice to me. Go back. I will get drunk a
thousand times in my life, can you take care of me every time?”
Winnie said sadly, feeling suffocated like a big stone pressing her heart.
At this time, Brian had helped Winnie take off her coat and covered her with quilt. He sat by Winnie’s
side and said to her gently.
“Winwin, don’t say that. I can’t promise that I’ll be with you a hundred times, but as long as I’m with you,
I will take care of you. Don’t think too much, don’t escape deliberately. Even if we have no courage to
overcome difficulties, we can’t destroy the love in the heart. Take your time and let it be.”
“I wanted to, I told myself not to run away, but when I see you...”
Winnie couldn’t finish her words and her tears flowed down the corner of her eyes.
“I can’t help myself when I see you, so don’t be so nice to me. Stay away from me, hate me, and only
then will my heart be cold to you.”
Winnie sobbed uncontrollably.
She had to do everything she said, but she found it harder to forget Brian than to forget herself. What
she wanted most at the moment was amnesia, so that she could forget Brian and feel at ease.
“But I can’t, and I can never be cruel to you.”
Brian was sad too. The greatest pain in the world was that two people who loved each other could not
be together. He and Winnie were miserable people.
“We are thousands of miles apart and walk the opposite way. We can’t be together for a lifetime, why
do you torture me?”
Winnie cried more and more sadly. Even if she believed that Brian loved her, she had no hope for their
future.
Felix, the powerful status of the Bennet family, Brian’s excellence, and Wendy......The obstacles
between them were more than a mountain.
Winnie continued.
“I am wrong, it is not you torture me, it is I can’t get over you.”
“Ah...I’m going crazy.”
Winnie cried loudly. She would be death if she didn’t vent out.
“Brian, please let me leave with the children and find a place where I can live without you.”
As soon as Winnie’s painful voice fell, Brian pulled Winnie’s arm with a force and pulled her into his
arms.
“I’m sorry. I have to be selfish about this. I can’t live without you.”
“Wendy told me more than once to ask you to leave with the children, but I refused. I can’t live without
you and children. I want you to live in my sight even if we can’t be a couple.”
At the moment, Brian might be the most selfish person in the world, who only considered himself
instead of Winnie. But he really could not lose Winnie and he could only be selfish.
“Bastard, Brian, you are a bastard, you are a devil, you know? How can you do that? It’s not fair to me,
you know?”
Winnie was sobbing and reproaching Brian as she beat him with her fist.
His words were like a sentence of death to her, and she would live in pain for the rest of her life. Why
didn’t he put himself in her shoes?
“I am a bastard, I am selfish, you can scold me, beat me, as long as you won’t leave.”
Brian said gently.
Hearing that, she hugged Brian and cried.
“What I owned you in my previous life? I gave you two children but I got nothing. And I can’t even
leave.”
“Brian, please don’t say you love me again, don’t say you can live without me again, or it will kill me.”
Winnie wept and fell into Brian’s arms, looking so weak.
She could bear the framing of others, could ignore the abuse of others, could bear all the injustice, but
she could not hear Brian said that.
“I will never say it again. I promise you anything, as long as you don’t leave.”
Brian knew that these words were the most tortured since he could not be with Winnie. He was selfish,
but it was for love.
The night outside the window was quiet. The two people in the bedroom were suffering. No one knew
when the pain would last and whether there would be happiness at the end of the pain.
Brian did not leave until the next morning, when Winnie was still sleeping. Brian turned off Winnie’s
phone, for fear that someone would wake her up.
Brian left Winnie’s home and went to the old house to see Felix.
When he arrived, he said hello to his uncle and aunt before he went to grandpa’s study.
“Why are you here so early?”
Felix asked Brian in a low voice.
“Personal affair.”
He said only two simple words, but firm.
He had to have a firm attitude about what he was going to say, whether or not Grandpa agreed with it.
“Winnie or Wendy?”
Felix’s intuition told him that his personal affairs could only be related to these two people.
“Winnie. Grandpa, Winnie’s aunt is taking her sister back to A City for the New Year. I want Winwin and
Megan to come to our home to spend the New Year.”
Brian said with certainty, as if he did not allow grandpa to refute.
But he knew that if grandpa did not agree, even if Winnie spent New Year with him, it would not be
happy.
“Winnie is coming?”
Felix frowned and said in a low voice.
“No, I want her to come. I’ll talk to her if you agree.”
Brian thought that if his grandfather agreed and he talked with Megan, Winnie would come.
“Brian, Wendy is your nominal girlfriend, even she can’t come to our home for the New year, do you
think Winnie is appropriate to come over?”
Felix asked Brian in a slow tone.
“But you don’t like Wendy, and since she can’t come over, I think Winwin can come. She can come as
a friend of yours and a teacher of Luke.”
Brian’s attitude would not change because of anyone. He tried his best just to spend New Year with
Winnie.
“Put aside things related to Winnie.”
“Do you insist on me marrying Wendy since you know I don’t like her?”
Felix was inspired by something he was planning. He put Winnie’s things aside. If Brian performed well,
he could agree Winnie to come home for the New Year.
“Wendy is the most in line with my requirements.”
Brian did not like Wendy now, but he could not bear to lose so many years of relationship. He could not
hurt Wendy, or destroy the Yup Group according to the meaning of his grandfather.
“I have a new standard, if you are willing to cooperate, I can consider of letting Winnie come over.”
Felix said slowly.
“What standard?”
Brian had a feeling of standing on the edge of a trap.
“Go to blind date, if you meet someone more suitable than Wendy, break up with Wendy.”
Hearing that, Brian was surprised. How could Grandpa be so casual about marriage? Wendy was a
woman he had been waiting for four years. Even if there was love now, there was friendship, how could
he break up so easily.
And it was not ethical.
“Grandpa, I haven’t broken up with Wendy, I can’t go to blind date. It is unfair to Wendy and the women
who are in blind date. I can’t do that.”
Brian gave an affirmative answer.
“Do you think it is fair that you are in between Winnie and Wendy?”
Felix asked Brian in a cold voice.
