Winnie felt upset, but she did not show it and gave a smile instead.
In Winnie’s View, she would rather not mention it since it was useless to speak it out.
“Luke, I miss you.”
Winnie said with a smile
“I miss you too, Mommy, when will you come back?”
Luke hoped that Mommy and Megan could come back right now.
“We will be back in two days, don’t worry, Luke, listen to Daddy.”
Winnie wanted to go back too, but if she went back, she and Megan would be lonely.
“I am good, you can ask Daddy.”
Luke felt Mommy was angry at Daddy because what happened yesterday.
“Luke is good, you don’t have to worry about him? How are you and Megan?”
Brian said. He felt that Winnie did not pay attention to him but only Luke.
“We are good.”
Winnie said in a plain tone.
“Good.”
“Winwin, when will you come back? Have you booked the flight?”
Brian asked, he wanted to see them too.
“I will go back as soon as possible. Daenerys was to give birth, and will go back to her. I will try to book
a flight these days.”
Winnie said indifferently. If not Daenerys was to give birth, she would go back after the vacation,
because no was to pick her up.
“Mommy, come back tomorrow, I miss you. I will follow you to anywhere when you come back, you
can’t leave me alone again.”
Luke felt afraid that Mommy would leave him again.
“You have Daddy with you, you are not alone.”
Braid said. How could his son neglect him? Though he wanted to follow Winnie too.
“But I miss Mommy. Daddy has Wendy, and you will not be lonely, but Mommy only has me and sister.”
Luke said. He knew he was not alone, but felt that Daddy belongs to Daddy.
“All right, Luke, I promise you I will be back soon.”
Winnie chimed in, or someone would be unhappy if it continued. It was new year, she did not want
anyone have a bad mood.
Hearing that, Brain felt uncomfortable and sorry for kids. He did not give them sense of security,
otherwise Luke would have not said that.
The conversation was over, and Brian would reflect himself and try to be a good father.
“Winwin, is your relative’s house big? Is it big enough for so many to live?”
Brian asked.
“We do have many people. Venessa has a classmate lives here. Megan and I live in the hotel and Aunt
lives here, it is lively.”
There were many people and it was indeed inconvenient. And Venessa and she found a place to stay,
so as not to cause troubles for her relatives.
Her relative was good to them, but Winnie felt she was an outsider.
She could stay in A City for new year, but she wanted to stay with Venessa and her aunt, because they
were family.
She did not know why her aunt insisted to go back to A City. She might miss relative or avoid
something.
“Good. You don’t have to book a ticket, I will book one when you come back.”
Brian said, but he felt bitter. New year is for gathering, but Winnie had to live in hotel.
“Ok, thank you.”
Winnie was polit. Though it sounded strange, but she felt she should say that.
Brian was silent for a moment hearing that. They had just parted for less than 24 hours, but they were
further away.
He could not let her leave him again.
“Winwin, your game will be launched tonight, right? I wish you can have a good performance.”
“Mommy will sell a lot.”
Luke said excitedly.
“Thank you, I will do my best.”
“You chat, I need to help with the food.”
With that, she walked away. She was in her relative’s home, and they were busy, she could not only
chat.
Though her relative was ok with that, but she did not feel right.
After Winnie left, Megan took the phone and walked to grandaunt’s room.
Inside, she could say anything she wanted, because no one was around.
“Daddy, why didn’t you ask Mommy stay for the new year. Mommy is busy here than she was at work.”
Seeing that Mommy helped to housework, Megan felt distressed.
Hearing that, Brian was speechless.
“I am sorry, I did not do it well.”
Briand said, he dare not promise his children, if he could not keep his promise, it would hurt the
children.
“Daddy, why you always said you are sorry. Since you know you are sorry, don’t make mistake.”
Megan was disappointed, Daddy always did things wrong, and she could not have hope now.
Brain was speechless again. He felt sorry for the children and Winnie.
It was the dinner for the new year, every one behaved well at the table and dare not say something
wrong.
Expect for Thomas’ wife was woman, they were all men at the table, but Felix did not say anything
about it.
After dinner, they watched TV in the living room, waiting for the clock for a brand new year.
After a while, Felix asked Brian to come to his study.
They sat in the study and chatted.
“How do you get along with you Dad recently?”
“The same, nothing changed.”
Brian said, because he had been thinking of Winnie and Megan.
“Take you time, it will be fine. You are father and son after all.”
“Brian, look at our family, Jack is younger than you, but the three generations of our family are single, it
is not good.”
Felix said, he wanted Brian to get married as soon as possible and Rufus could have a girlfriend.
Brian was silent, and Felix continued.
“It has been twenty years since your mother died and you father has been single. I felt it was enough.
You have grown up now and you should understand your father.”
“What do you want to say, Grandpa.”
Brian asked. He could not control his own feeling, but understand and acceptance were different.
“You father is his sixties, do you want him to be single forever. He is old and lonely, as least he can
have someone to talk to.”
Felix said, he wanted Brian to accept that, but Brian frowned.
“I have moved back to suburbs, he is not alone.”
Brian refused.
He thought that his mother died because of his father and his father should be single forever for his
mother.
“You are his son and what you communicate is different. You have Luke, but you love other woman. It
is the same.”
Felix referred to Winnie.
Brian was silent hearing that.
He could understand that bother young man and old man needed relationship, but how could he accept
an outsider if he could not accept his father?
“If you want that, just go ahead. I can’t accept it and I will move out from the suburbs.”
No one could stop his grandfather from doing anything, so he could solve it in other way.
Hearing that, Felix felt it a threat, but it worked.
“Ok, we can put it behind. Let’s talk about you. How is your blind date? If it is ok, get married as soon
as possible. I can be relieved if you have a family.”
“We stayed for a while, the woman left first because she had something to deal with. I don’t have any
impression on her. We agreed to meet again after new year and see if we can have a relationship.
Brian said, or he would have another blind date.
He continued, “Grandpa, marriage is not trifle, we have to know each other before we get married. I
have many things to deal with and the kid has to accept that, and I need to explain to Wendy, so give
me some time, don’t worry.”
“Ok, but you have to get rid of Wendy, I am disappointed at her.”
Felix reminded Brian again.
He disliked Wendy. At the very beginning, he thought she did not have a good family background, now
she had a good family background, but her character was not good and she was not smart.
