Remembering Brian's indifference at that time, Winnie felt cold and angry at the thought that she had
been pushed.
"Well, I hate you, because you pushed me, I have a tiny scar on my arm. My skin is easily scarred, and
you bullied me. I can't love you for that."
Winnie complained Brian, but at this time she felt sweet and happy.
"I'm sorry. I really didn't know it would hurt you. Forgive me, it won't happen again."
“If I had known I was going to love you, I would never have done that to you. I would have you stayed
and help you with all difficulties, so that we wouldn't have wasted so many years."
Brian wished that the time could go back to the period of the surrogacy.
Two people were silent for a while, and Brian's hand inadvertently touched Winnie's belly scar.
"You pushed the man out of the way. He did not get hit, but you did?”
Brian asked
"I was too worried to think about it. I didn't know I was hurt. When I got back to the dormitory, I saw my
clothes were torn, and then I knew I was injured. The care must have scratched me. I don't know if that
man was hurt or not."
Winnie had a clear memory of what happened at that time until now, but she didn't remember that
person. The man was wearing a hat and mask. He was in back covering himself tightly, and Winnie
could not see his face.
"Never do anything so dangerous again. It sounds scary."
In fear, Brian hugged Winnie again, as if at that moment he saw with his own eyes that he would lose
her.
But if Winnie's experience was connected to his dream, his dream would not have to be afraid, after all,
he had avoided the speeding car.
"With my busybody nature, I would run to save someone again."
Winnie felt it not a big deal. At that moment anyone would go to help.
"Don't be so impulsive. You have kids now. Think of the kids before you do it."
Brian was worried about Winnie. She was not a busybody, she was kind and brave. Only such a person
could do a righteous deed.
"By the way, you haven't taken birth control pills for a long time, Winwin."
Brian suddenly thought of it and obviously felt Winnie shivered in his arms after he asked that.
"No. Are you afraid that I get pregnant and cause you trouble?"
Winnie became upset almost immediately.
Brian asked this question suddenly, Winnie could only think of this possibility. After all, when they first
started it, Brian asked her to have contraception.
"You are overthinking, if you overthink again, I will punish you."
Brian appeased Winnie.
"Then why did you ask that?"
Winnie looked up at Brian with inquiring eyes.
"I am wondering why you haven’t got pregnant yet. If you are pregnant, Grandpa could do nothing
about it."
Brian was not afraid that Winnie got pregnant, but hoped that Winnie got pregnant. With two children,
Grandpa might still insist on his principle of equal status, but with four children, Grandpa could not see
four children without a mother.
Speaking of this, Winnie's mood was once again low.
"My chances of getting pregnant are slim."
“Why?”
Brian looked at Winnie.
"I had a problem when I gave birth to Megan and Luke. The doctor said my chance of pregnancy would
be small. If my physical conditioning is not good, I may not be able to be pregnant, and that is the
reason I only gave you Luke."
Winnie said sadly. She even did not know how she had gone through it.
"It's all right. It's all right if you can't be pregnant. We have Luke have Megan, and it is enough."
Brian knew that Winnie's memories were full of pain, and that it was not easy for her to give birth to two
children. But absolutely he did not know that Winnie was not likely to be pregnant, if he had known that,
he would not have asked her to take birth control pills.
"Never mind. It's time for us to go to bed, or it'll be dawn."
Brian ended this sad topic, or Winnie would have bad mood.
"Well, sleep. I hope you don't have nightmares tonight."
Winnie changed a comfortable position to lie in Brian's arms and then fell asleep.
The next day, Winnie and her team worked on the cooperation plan, because the Bennet Group
wanted to get the cooperation plan as soon as possible, so they could only work overtime, and even
had no time to eat lunch.
They were busy from morning. Although they were hungry, the cooperation plan had been preliminarily
formed, and they could have the first negotiation with the Bennet Group.
"Laura, go with me. You are more familiar with some schemes than I am. You can explain them when
necessary."
Winnie had always been optimistic about the ability of Laura and trusted her in the big cooperation
case, but she could not expect that Laura would frame her.
"Okay, I'll get ready."
Laura said that and went out from the conference room.
When she got back to her desk, the first thing she did was to send a message to the group.
Laura: Klara, Winnie and I will go to your company later. If we meet, please don't communicate with
me.
After sending the message, Laura put away her mobile phone and prepared materials.
It was an unprecedented major cooperation for the company. Laura did not expect Winnie would assign
her as an assistant and to be responsible for the explanation.
This was a good opportunity for her, she had to do her best.
While everyone else went home from work, Winnie and Laura drove straight to the Bennet Group.
At the same time, Brian was waiting for Winnie in the president's office, but did not expect Wendy
knocked at the door.
Seeing her, Brian frowned.
Wendy was embarrassed.
"I'm here to give you an answer."
She said in a low voice and dared not looked into his eyes.
"You have the answer?"
Brian asked in a cold voice.
"Yes. Brian, what I did yesterday was wrong, I should not have…”
"You don't have to apologize. You've said that many times already. Just tell me your choice."
Brian coldly interrupted Wendy. He did not hold much hope on Wendy. Even if she chose to continue
their relationship, Brian felt that she would cause trouble again.
"I won't go to Winnie again, and I will just be your girlfriend."
Wendy was not sincere, but there she had to say that, otherwise she would lose Brian.
Wendy paused before she continued.
“Brian, I have a request too. Let us get married. Once married, as long as you and Winnie don't go too
far, I won't ask about your affair."
"I've been on the road for so many years, and I just want a stable home and a peaceful life. For the
sake of our long relationship, don't keep me waiting any longer."
Wendy said sadly and she wanted a marriage, so that she could keep her position. And she would deal
with the problem after getting married.
Brian could not agree to Wendy's request, because now the problem was not the children nor Winnie,
but his grandpa.
If there was no miracle, he and Winnie could not be together. The children were in a better mood and
they could understand the adults' helplessness.
However his grandpa disliked Wendy and could not accept her now.
It was not strange, because Wendy did not behave well and frequently made grandpa angry.
After being silent for a while, Brian finally spoke.
"Don't worry about anything else. Try to please Grandpa. Don't do anything to upset him. Be frank with
him. He hates schemers."
"Grandpa is so smart that anyone in front of him is transparent. If you cheat him, you will be doomed."
Brian did not mention what Wendy had done. He believed Wendy understood him.
"I know, I will please grandpa. As long as Grandpa accepts me, we can get married, right?"
Wendy asked. She did not believe that Brian agreed easily because he loved Winnie.
"Yes, I will marry you as long as Grandpa agrees."
Brian felt sad when he said that. He should say that to Winnie, but he could not.
"Brian, with your words, I feel at ease. I will please Grandpa and I will try to make him accept me."
Wendy was excited. The only obstacle left was Grandpa. As long as she put all her energy on
Grandpa, she believed she would succeed.
Seeing that Wendy was happy, Brian only thought of Winnie’s crying. He wondered if Winnie could bear
him holding another woman's hand and walking into marriage.
The secretary knocked at the door and came in.
"Mr. Bennet, Winnie has arrived."
"Let her in. Let Calvin in too."
Brian command coldly and then looked at Wendy.
"I'm going to work. You go home."
“Ok, I go back first."
Wendy bent down to pick up her bag and turned to walk outside. When Winnie and Laura walked
inside, they met.
"Laura......"
Wendy called her. Laura timely made a wink and Wendy swallowed her words.
However, this scene was still noticed by Winnie. But Winnie focused on her work, and did not want to
have too much communication with Wendy, so she did not pay much attention to it.
After Wendy went out, Laura took a sigh of relief.
Wendy was so careless. She had reminded her in the group, even if she did not see it, she should
know what to do. Didn't she know that one careless move would expose them all?
