Looking at the message, Winnie felt sour in heart.
They continued to communicate.
Winnie: It is not your fault but mine, I should tell you before I was there. I will not do it again.
She thought the children were in the suburbs and Brian was to send her, so she went to the suburbs to
have dinner with her children and Rufus.
But she could not do it again. She would regard herself as an outsider, so that everyone would not be
awkward.
Brian: Winwin, don’t stay that. I didn’t expect that you would come to suburbs, it is my fault.
Looking at Winnie’s message, Brian felt bitter.
Winnie: It is embarrassing, but it proves that Wendy is more important than me in your heart.
Winnie: You agreed to send me. I was alone, you should have thought that we shall have dinner before
I leave, but you only thought of Wendy, so it happened and it was a lesson to me.
Winnie: I might be selfish, but for Wendy, it was her last meal with you.
Winnie: Don’t put it in heart, I don’t blame you. It is your freedom to choose, and I just need to take care
of the children.
Winnie sent a few of messages, but Brian did not reply, she felt that she was neglected or it was not
inconvenient for him to reply because he was with Wendy.
So she sent the last message so that it would not be embarrassing.
Winnie: Megan needs to go the toilet, I will take her there.
After that, she put away her phone and did not want to read the message Brian sent.
Brian was silent because he did not know what to say.
In the bedroom of Rufus.
Rufus was still in a bad mood after scolding Wendy. He stood by the winder, thinking of the tearful face
of Megan and the back of Luke when he walked away. He felt sad about that.
He thought it was because of him.
If he was not with Isobel, the Chamber family would not go bankrupt. And Winnie would not know
Brian, and the children would not in pain now.
It was all his fault, what should he do now, so that everyone would not be so miserable.
Suddenly he thought of Venessa.
He had doubts about her. Winnie did not know her mother was pregnant but got a sister suddenly, and
Venessa’s birthday was suspicious.
Ninth months before that, he was with Isobel.
Two months later, he knew that Isobel was pregnant, but Isobel told him that she had the abortion and
then disappeared.
If the kid had not been aborted, it would be born in March, was that coincidental?
As he was thinking about that, Paul knocked at the door and came it.
“I have sent Winnie and Megan to the airport and I came back after they got into the departure lounge.”
Paul said to Rufus, so that he would not be worried.
“Did Megan cry?” Rufus asked with concern.
“Yes, she cried sadly and did not stop till she got the airport.”
“What she said was sad.”
…
Paul told him what happened. Hearing that, Rufus was more dissatisfied about Wendy.
“It was because Wendy, she is not sensible, or the kids would not be so sad.”
What Wendy did was not wise. No matter if Winnie has anything to do with Brian, she could not stop
him or change anything. She would only make herself further and further away from brain by doing
that.”
“She did not see the fact. I wonder if her brain has a problem.”
Rufus complained, he disliked or even hated Wendy.
“Rufus, I might be gossip but I want to say it. Expect for family background, Wendy has nothing better
Winnie, and she is not a match. Even if they get married, they will quarrel a lot.”
“If they get married, it would be tragedy, or may be worse than you in those years. Winwin has two
children. For the money, Wendy would have her own child.”
“When you were with Isobel, you had not kids. But Wendy’s kids could not get along with two children,
they will be contradiction.”
It might recalled Rufus of the past and he as an outsider should not have comments on that, but Winnie
and the kids were so poor, and Brian could do nothing about it, Paul could not control himself.
“Alsa, I know. Wendy said she would not have her own child, but she would go back to her words after
she gets married.”
Rufus knew the problem, but he had no way to figure it out.
He tried to help Brian to be with Winnie, but Isobel did not allow that and he could not make decision
alone.
“Yes, it depends on them, but two kids were so poor.”
Paul said, feeling sad at the thought of Megan’s words and tearful face.
“It is my fault. If I did not do that in those years, it would not have happened.”
Rufus said with self-remorse, and his tone was low. He had never expected that his descendants would
suffer.
“Do you regret that you were with Isobel?”
Paul asked.
“No, I regretted that I chose a wrong marriage, or it would not have happened.”
That time with Isobel was the best time for him, he would not regret it.
Hearing that, Paul was relieved, or Isobel would pay in vain.
“Rufus, don’t take it seriously. I think it is destiny, many people never met in B City, but Winwin and
Brian met four years ago and now.”
“It is their destiny, since they meant to meet, it doesn’t matter whose fault it is. The most importance
was how the move on? Do you want them to deal with it or help them?”
Paul thought the past was not important, but moving forward was important.
Because the past is in the past, it had no need to have comment on it. And the future was unknown, it
had no need to worry, even if you had a plan, it might not come true.
“I want to help them, but Isobel did not agree, I have to have her consent, or it will be complicated.”
Rufus was helpless and then he thought of Venessa.
“Paul, put it behind, investigate Venessa.”
“Venessa, what is wrong with her?”
Paul was confused, it seemed have nothing to do with the affair with Brian.
Seeing that Paul was confused, Rufus told him what Winnie said.
“So, Venessa’s identity is suspicious.”
Paul noticed that too.
“Yes, that is why I asked you to investigate her. Are you sure that Isobel had the kid aborted?”
Rufus asked with a frown.
“I checked the medical record, and it said she had abortion, but she is a doctor, I think it is easy to
make a false one.”
Paul did not believe what he had investigated years aga. The birthday of Venessa was in line with that
kid, so he was suspicious.
Paul continued, “I will have a check.”
“Ok, the faster, the better.”
Rufus was eager to know the result.
But it was late today and tomorrow was the new year. The investigation could only be carried out after
that.
After breakfast in the next day, the Bennet family was picked up by Paul to the suburbs. After that, Paul
and his wife went back to his hometown.
The Bennet family was lively today and happy, especially Felix, he was glad to see his descendants
were around.
But he did not know that he was happy, because he was composed and could not be told from his
surface.
Rufus was glad that. In the past, he was gloomy, but not he was better with his son and grandson
around.
Brian was not in a good mood, but in order not to affect others’ mood, he endured it.
Luke was not happy thinking of Mommy and Megan.
He knew it would affect everyone, but he had tried his best to cover his bad mood, but he sat there
silently.
“Luke, are you watching TV?”
Felix walked to Luke, asked and sat down.
“Yes, I am watching cartoon.”
Luke was mind absent, watching TV was to cover that he was in a bad mood.
“Don’t watch for so long, it is bad for your eyes.”
Felix said while stroking Luke’s head, with love in eyes.”
“But if I don’t watch TV, on one plays with me, I will be bored.”
Luke answered. Only he was a kid and he could only watch TV.
“Ok, you got used to play with Megan, so you are bored now, right?”
Felix saw through Luke’s mind and noticed his gloomy mood.
“Yes, I used to play with Megan. I don’t feel happy if Megan is not around.”
