On the way to the airport, Winnie had been appeasing Megan. She felt upset too.
She was disappointed. She thought the four of them could have a chance to be in the airport, but it was
destroyed.
She took a breath, knowing that such situation would happen again if she did not leave. She and
children had to accept it, so they had to be strong.
“Megan, Daddy has his reason, and you should understand that.”
Winnie conformed Megan.
“Why? We understand him, but why he can’t understand us?”
Megan seemed to be sadder, sobbing.
“I can understand that he could not offer us a complete home and that we can’t spend new year
together, but why didn’t he send us to the airport?”
“Even if you have nothing to do with him, brother and I are his children, why Wendy occupies him?”
Megan had been sharp-tongued, even if she was sad, she could express her thought.
She was sad, but what she said was reasonable.
“Megan, there are many things I can do nothing about you, you are still young and you don’t
understand. Daddy love you, but he has his reason…”
Winnie tried to appease Megan, but it seemed that she could not convince herself, how could she
convince Megan?
“Mommy, I am small, but I can understand helplessness. My brother and I want a complete family, but
we can’t, this is our helplessness.”
“We always yield to Daddy, I don’t know why. Mommy, even if Daddy doesn’t love you, why don’t you
rob him? If you did so, it would not happen like this. And Brother and I will have a family and we don’t
need to leave for new year.”
Megan was wrong because they had to leave because of new year.
She knew she was small and had something she did not understand, but she felt she and brother was
tough and tolerable compared the kids at her age.
“I am sorry, it is my fault, don’t blame Daddy. Don’t put it heart after you said that, because life is long,
don’t pester on the trifle things.”
“I will do my best to give you and brother a good life. I will take you away next year and you can stay
with Daddy.”
Winnie held Mega, who was crying sadly, into her arms. She comforted Megan with guilty.
Megan was sensible. What she said was reasonable, and it stunned Winnie.
If she was to comfort Megan, she must be speechless now.
Megan nested in Winnie’s arm. No matter what she said, Daddy could not come to send her and she
could not stay for the new year.
“Megan, don’t cry, Daddy loves you. He could not send you to the airport, but he asked me to send you.
He was worried about Mommy and you are not safe and you may cry, he asked me to take care of
you.”
Paul who was driving the car said at this moment.
What Megan said was reasonable, and he was sad to hear that.
He did not expect that a kid would have that thought.
Paul’s words worked and it comforted Megan.
“Did Daddy really ask you to send us?”
Megan left Mommy’s arm and asked Paul.
“Yes, I did not lie to you. I still have his message and you can check it when you are in the airport.”
Paul said with certainty, and Megan felt better now.
“Mommy, can I check Paul’s phone when we get off the car?”
“Yes, sure, it is your Daddy’s concern.”
Winnie said softly, if she said no, Megan would be disappointed.
Hearing that, Megan felt better, but she did not speak again, because Daddy’s message only comforted
her a bit.
“Winwin, think over what Megan said. They had endured many things, they could not be hurt again.”
Paul said, because he felt sorry for Megan. Now matter what, the children did nothing wrong.
The adults should pay for the growth of the children not ask the children to understand them and
undertake things that they could not undertake.
“Paul, I can’t control that, what I can do is to love them.”
Winnie knew that, she took a sign before she continued.
“I give a second thought before I do anything and wonder if I would cause troubles to others, but even if
I think of everyone, it comes to a bad end. Regarding to kids, I could do nothing about it.”
Winnie did her best for the kids, but nothing had changed.
“You have a tired life. It is the destiny and no one could change that. Why not relax? Don’t take too
much, and deal with the problem when it occurs. Even if you can’t deal with it, time moves on.”
“Don’t think too much, don’t care what others think. Think over what the children said, and make them
avoid the pain from adults.
Paul could see the tearful face of Megan from the rear mirror. He felt sorry for Winnie’s words, but he
could only give his advice, and everything was up to Winnie.
Winnie could understand Paul’s words, but she could only decide on anything. She loved Brian and
wanted to give the children a complete family, but she could not due to too many obstacles.
In the suburbs villa.
Brian went to Luke’s room and was to comfort him.
As he walked in, Luke was wiping tears sitting on the bedside, which hurt him.
He sat down, held Luke’s shoulder and said sorry.
“Son, it is my fault, I apologize to you. I know you and Megan are sad and you don’t want Mommy and
Megan to leave, but now I can’t do nothing about it.”
“Don’t be sad, I will let you stay with Mommy in the next new year.”
Hearing that, Luke was sad and cried more sadly.
“Daddy, Mommy left with Megan, I feel like I am an orphan. I feel she would never come back. Daddy, I
can live without Mommy.”
With that, he got into Brian’s arms.
Brian was sad to hear that and sighed holding Luke.
He did not know how to face Luke and how to reduce his pain.
“Don’t cry, Luke, Mommy will be back soon. She loves you, she will not let you become a orphan."
Luke cried sadly and could not speak, because he was not sure if that was true or not.
“If you miss Mommy, we go to the airport now.”
With that, he checked the time, it had one hour to go, and they could make it.
Hearing that, Luke stopped crying.
He looked at Brian with blurred eyes.
“Can we see Mommy off now? Can we make it?”
“Yes, we can if we go now.”
Brian got up, but Luke was depressed again.
“Never mind, I don’t want to be there. Megan is sad, if we go there, she will be sad again when it is time
to part. Daddy, don’t go.”
Luke was sweet, but actually he was at lost.
Brian sighed again.
“Good boy, you do that for sister.”
Brian was ashamed and felt he was not as good as Luke in this regard. The children were sensible, but
he made them suffer.
Finally, Luke was quiet, but Brian did not leave.
Staying with him silently was a kind of comfort to Luke.
Brian lied in the bed, thinking of Megan and Winnie. He wanted to make a call, but he was afraid that
Megan would cry, so he texted Winnie.
Brian: Have you arrived at the airport?
Winnie soon replied.
Winnie: Yes, we are in that departure lounge. Paul has been back.
Brian: Megan left in tears, is she crying now?
Winnie: No, she is playing with a kid. Don’t worry, I can take care of her.
While replying, she looked at Megan. Megan was quiet now, but she still felt upset.
Brian: I broke my words and made you and Megan sad.
He wanted to say sorry, but he deleted it, because it could not express his sense of apology.
Winnie: It is ok, I should have known that.
Winnie: How about Luke? What is he doing?
Brian: He is doing homework. Don’t worry, I can take care of him.
Brian: Winwin, it is my fault that I brought Wendy here and made everyone awkward.
Brian blamed himself and felt uncomfortable, but he could only endure it, because it was indeed his
fault.
