When it came to Megan, Luke inevitably thought of Winnie, and he was in a bad mood. He turned to
look at Felix and said sadly.
“Great Grandpa, why Winnie and Megan can’t come to our home for New Year? Daddy has invited
them, if only Winnie and Megan could come.”
“I don’t know. What did she tell you?”
Felix looked at the child’s eyes and could not give him an answer. If he had not called her or if he had
invited her over instead of saying those words, perhaps she would have come.
“She said that New Year is a time for family reunion, and that her presence would make us
uncomfortable and affect the mood of our family. That’s why she’s not coming.”
“But I have long considered her as a family.”
Luke said that because he wanted his great grandpa like his mother and accept her rather than Wendy.
“Is Winnie kind to you?”
Felix asked Luke.
“Of course, if she is not good to me, I won’t live with her. Great Grandpa, do you know that before I met
her, I felt that my world was gray, just like the haze weather, and I always felt that I could not breathe.
But after meeting Winnie and Megan, the haze disappeared bit by bit. Now I feel like my world is all
blue skies and warm eyes, and I can breathe easily.”
Luke said with a smile. He was happy when thought of his mother and sister.
Yet all of these were typical symptoms of depression in adults.
It seemed that Luke had healed from depression, and it seemed that he cannot leave Winnie.
“Good, then live wither. As long as you are happy, I am happy.”
However, Felix was tangled.
Luke needed Winnie, Brian also needed Winnie. But the Bennet family needed more than talented
people like Winnie.
After chatting with his great grandfather, Luke seemed to be in a better mood and called Jack to the
living room to play with him.
“Uncle, help me fix this toy, it is broken.”
Luke took a toy and handed it to Jack.
Jack seemed to have no patience, took a perfunctory look at it and then returned it to Luke.
“I will buy you a new one.”
“But I am bored, I want to play now. Megan is not here, only this toy can accompany me.”
Luke protested. He had just found the fun, but his uncle made him upset.
However, when Jack heard the name of Megan, he suddenly became interested.
“Ok, I will help you fix it.”
Jack fixed it inadvertently, and then asked some questions about Megan and Winnie.
“Megan are good to you, right? How about Winwin, are you good with her?”
“Yes, if she is not good to me, how could I live with her?”
Luke just said that with his great grandfather. He did not know the purpose of Jack and he answered
proudly.
“Since she is good to you, should I thank her?”
Jack asked slyly.
“Daddy should thank her, and you…”
Luke did not know Jack’s intention, but he felt it was enough that Daddy thanked Mommy, but Jack
interrupted him.
“Yes, your Daddy should thank her, but I am a Bennet too, and I should thank her too. Luke, how about
this? You take Winnie out some day, and I invite you to a meal and take you to the amusement part and
buy you a lot of toys. In this way, I thank Winnie, Megan and you will have fun.”
Jack lured Luke, trying to ask Winnie out.
“Well..”
Luke thought for a while.
“You better ask Winnie, I can’t make decision for you. If you want to thank her, you should ask her out, I
can’t help.”
Luke refused and did not want to get involved.
Jack was helpless, but he was anger to make it happen.
“I have asked her out, but she refused. So I can’t thank her. If you ask her out, she would not say no.”
Hearing that, Luke did not want to help.
“Since then, I can’t help. You can go to Daddy, and ask him to help me.”
Luke said.
“Your Daddy is busy, I can’t bother him with this trifle things…”
“Daddy is not busy and he is just behind you, you tell him.”
Luke looked at Jack who was surprised with a wry smile.
Hearing that, Jack looked back and only to find that Brian was standing behind him with a gloomy face.
And he felt cold in his eyes.
“You eavesdropped on me, it is rude.”
Jack took back his timid sight of light and looked at Luke.
“It was you did not hear me. I had loud steps, but you did not pay attention me, so you can’t hear me
even if I have a loudspeaker.”
Brian said coldly. If it were not new year, he would give Jack a lesson.
“Brother, you are joking.”
Jack gave a bitter smile.
“Luke, go to Great Grandpa, I want to talk with Uncle.”
Brian had nothing to do now and he could chat with Jack.
Luke left and Jack want to walk away too.
“Brother, I still have work to do, I will talk to you some day when I am available.”
Jack got up, but Brian walked to him and pressed his shoulders.
“What do you need to do today? I want to talk to you.”
Jack felt Brian was pressing his shoulder with force and he said.
“Ok, ok, put your hand away, I talk to you.”
Brian took back his hand and sat next to Jack.
“I know you like beauty, but forget about Winnie.”
Brian went to the point. He wanted to tell Jack to stay away from Winnie.
“Brother, you don’t have to be so straightforward. I like beauty, and Winnie is a beauty, I don’t feel
anything wrong.”
Jack said cheering himself up, looking elsewhere. And he dared not looked into Brian’s gloomy eyes.
“I said no. She is my woman, you can’t like her.”
Brian said in a domineering way. Jack had better given up his idea, or he would be in troubles.
“Your woman? Haven’t you broken up? Brother, since you have broken up, leave her alone.”
Jack did not know the relationship between Brian and Winnie, but he did not deny that he had feelings
for Winnie and he wanted to be her boyfriend.
“We don’t, we are still together, so give up.”
Brian said, gritting teeth. If no one was home and it was new year, he would have beaten Jack.
Jack was surprised to hear that. He looked up to Brian but was frighten by his eyes and then took back
his eyes.
“I…”
“You have no chance to think of it, give it up, or I will transfer you to the branch office and you can’t
never come back.”
Brian said coldly and walked away, leaving Jack alone.
“You are threatening me, you tyrant…”
Jack whispered, for fear that Brian would hear him.
Had they had broken up? Didn’t Brain have Wendy? What was going on?
Jack was confused, but he had no one to ask, so he planned to ask his colleague when he was back to
office.
After lunch, Brian took Luke upstairs to have a nap.
Luke and Brian lied in the bed, but they could not fall asleep. Both of them missed Winnie and Megan.
“Daddy, I miss Mommy and Megan.”
Luke said in a low voice.
“Me too.”
Brian answered.
“Daddy, Mommy will be happy if she knows that we miss her. She must have lunch at this hour, let’s
call her.”
Luke got up excitedly, got the phone and lied down again and made a call to Winnie.
Soon it was got through, but it was Megan answered the phone.
“Daddy, Brother, I miss you.”
Megan said excitedly.
“I miss you too, come back.”
Luke was glad.
“Megan, are you happy? Have you had lunch?”
Brian said with a smile. He missed Megan so much, especially on this special day.
“Yes, I am happy to see Daddy and Brother. We had lunch just now and Mommy is washing dishes.”
Megan answered, looking at the phone.
“Ask Mommy to come, I miss her.”
Luke said. Megan then turned her head.
“Mommy, come over, Brother wants to see you.”
A moment later Winnie showed up in the video.
Winnie came with a smile, but her smile froze when she saw Brian.
Megan had forgotten the sadness, but she had not.
Because she cared about it, she could not forget it.
