Seeing that Megan could not control her mood, Winnie was afraid that she would break the calmness,
so she hurried to appease Megan.
“Daddy did say that, but he is tired and my luggage in my car, it will be inconvenient to move it. I will
take you to the airport.”
Megan was silent and looked at Wendy unkindly.
With Mommy around, she dares not say anything, or she would make it hard for Wendy, but now she
had to endure it.
“Mommy, I am leaving with you, I don’t want to spend new year here.”
Luke said, he was unhappy and required to go with Mommy.
With Wendy there, he did not feel that was his home and it was pointless to stay and he was in a bad
mood.
“I can’t book a flight now. Besides, you need to go to Great Grandpa’s. if he did not see you, he will be
sad. Luke, be good, I will come back soon.”
Winnie conformed Luke, but she felt bad too, leaving him alone. Hearing that, she felt sad.
The meal became pointless since Wendy showed up.
“I will send you to the airport.”
Brian said, because he had promised them.
He really could not see that Winnie and the children were disappointed.
Winnie had made up her mind that she did not need anyone to send her, even if the children made a
scene. She wanted to refuse, but at this time, Winnie said.
“Aren’t you tired, I can send them and you stay at home.”
Wendy would rather she went to the airport than Brian sent them.
Hearing that, Brian glanced coldly at Wendy, which frightened Wendy.
“Thank you, Wendy, you are tired too, so just stay at home. It is near the airport, I will drive myself.”
“That is the deal, let’s eat.”
Winnie insisted. During the conversation, she was gentle, even if she was sad, she hid her mood.
After the dinner, Winnie still had time before the flight, but she did not want to stay there, so she
decided to leave with Megan.
“Sir, it is getting late, I am going to the airport. I have left Luke’s clothes in his room. You don’t need to
ask him to sturdy these days, he needs to relax.”
Winnie told Felix, but she planned to say that to Brian.
Wendy was there, if she talked to Brian, Wendy would mind.
After that, she gave a hug to Luke and was to leave with Megan.
“Goodbye Grandpa, goodbye Daddy, goodbye Brother, please miss me.”
She did not say goodbye to Wendy, who destroyed her last hope. It was good enough that she did not
make a hard time for Wendy. Even if Mommy lectured her, she would not say goodbye to Wendy.
“Goodbye Megan, goodbye Mommy.”
Luke was in a bad mood, he did not want his sister to leave or part with Mommy. And he hated Daddy
for breaking his promise.
After saying goodbye to Mommy, he walked upstairs. Seeing that, everyone was in a bad mood.
Brian bent down to hug Megan.
“I see you off.”
But Megan took Winnie’s hand and took two steps back.
She said, “Daddy, I can walk by myself, you can’t hold me into car for a lifetime.”
Megan was disappointed to Daddy, but she did not want to leave him, and what she could do now was
to be tough.
Megan walked outside holding Winnie’s hand, which hurt Brian.
“Megan…”
He called Megan, but Megan did not look back. And he was ashamed to followed out.
Before they reached the car, Paul had opened the door car.
“Winwin, I send you to the airport.”
“No need, Paul, it is inconvenient.”
Winnie still refused.
“I have moved your luggage to this car, it will be really inconvenient if I move back. Get in or you will
miss the flight.”
Paul said kindly. He felt embarrassed about today’s situation too, everyone felt awkward in-between.
But Winnie was gentle, or they could not leave quietly.
Paul had moved the luggage to the car, which was an order of Brian. Brian was worried about them, so
he told Paul to do that.
“Get in the car, I will relieve if Paul send you. Let me know when you come back, I will ask Paul to pick
you up.”
Rufus said seriously. He was angry that Wendy messed up with everything.
“Ok then, thank you, Paul.”
Winnie agreed, so that everyone would be relieved.
“Megan, say goodbye to Grandpa.”
“Goodbye Grandpa.”
Megan shed tears and got into the car.
“Go back, Sir, don’t worry about Megan and help me take care of Luke.”
“Get in, you don’t have to worry about Luke, I can take care of him.”
Rufus said, so that Winnie would be relieved.
He felt sad about Megan’s tear and got angrier about Wendy.
“I am leaving, goodbye, Sir.”
With that, Winnie got into the car.
As the car started, Rufus could see clearly that Megan was wiping her tears.
It made Rufus sad and angry.
He used to be composed, but now he was furious and returned to the house.
He walked straight to Wendy who was sitting on the sofa and spoke loudly.
“Wendy, you are not tolerant, you are not qualified to marry into our family. It is near the new year, but
you made two kids sad. Megan left in tears, you know that?”
“Rufus..”
“Are you happy now? Brian stays, but do you know how many people are disappointed? Why can’t
Brian send them? Why can’t Megan stay with him before she left? Why you oppose that? You even
fight that with the children, how can I give the children to you?”
Rufus scolded her angrily, regardless that Brian was here, because he was disappointed at Brian too.
“Rufus, Brian is really tired today…”
“Don’t make excuse for yourself.”
Rufus interrupted Wendy.
“A father should meet the requirement of the children even if he is tired. You are not quailed to stop
him.”
Rufus was angry at Brain too, how could he let Winnie and Megan leave so sadly.
He was not a qualified father.
“Rufus, I …”
Wendy was nervous, she had never seen Rufus being so angry.
She wanted to explain so that Rufus would stop being angry, but Rufus did not give her a chance.
“You don’t have to explain, I know what you are thinking. Listen up, Wendy, we are not fools, don’t play
tricks.”
“I have told you what you should do, but you seemed to have heard any of it. You played tricks and you
don’t deserve to marry to the Bennet family.”
Rufus repeated that and then looked to Brian.
“Brian, I won’t accept such a daughter-in-law. If you get married with you, I won’t not go to your
wedding, if you marry her, she is not allowed to go to my house. If you marry her, we can’t live in
peace.”
“If you still want to live here, don’t bright her here, or you can move out.”
With that, he returned to his room.
He was determined to stay and only he knew that he was hurtful when he said that.
It had been twenty years and his son finally came back, but now he asked him to move out. He hurt but
he had to say that.
He knew he went too far, but he was angry about what Wendy did, and he would say that sooner or
later. Since then, he would rather say it earlier.
The living room fell into silence. Wendy looked at Brian in daze and did not know what to do.
“Brian, Rufus is angry with me, what should I do? I didn’t mean it and I just did it for your good.”
Wendy said to Brian and placed her hope on Brian.
However, Brian roared, which made Wendy panicked.
“Didn’t you hear what he said? Don’t play tricks here, everyone could see that.”
“Wendy, you let me down again and again, you assured me again and again, but you failed to keep
your words. You don’t like the kids. Did you see that Megan left in tears? It is near new year, everyone
wants to have a good mood, but you hurt her heart.”
“Luke cried too when he went upstairs. If you do that, how can they accept you?”
“With what you stopped me from sending Megan? Even if Winnie was here, you can go with me, and it
would not end like this, and he would not be disappointed at you.”
Brian was angry. At the thought that Megan and Luke were sad and disappointed at him, he felt upset.
“Brian…”
“Stop, don’t come here again.”
Brian could not give up his children and his father, so he could only ask Wendy to leave.
