Megan said, “Mommy, tonight we are not going to have dinner with relatives, have you told grandaunt?”
Megan reminded Winnie, and she said to Megan, “Megan, Don’t tell grandaunt and aunt that Daddy
and brother are here.”
“Why?”
Megan thought that the reunion of the family was worth showing off, and wanted to tell the family how
Daddy flied a plane, but Mommy refused her to say anything about it.
“Because they do not like me to be with Daddy. If she knows, she will scold me.”
Winnie knew that she could not deceive Megan, so she could only tell her the truth.
Her aunt did not agree her to contact with Brain, she did not know why, but she felt it was necessary to
conceal it, so as to avoid unnecessary troubles.
“Am I that bad? They all hate me.”
At this moment, Brian walked in and heard Winnie’s words to the children.
“They don’t hate you, they just don’t want me to have connection with you.”
Winnie explained, but this explanation seemed to be meaningless, because even if there was no
opposition between them, they could not be together. Sooner or later, they would have to go their
separate ways, because they had to take different roads.
“Do you think it’s possible for us to separate? We have two children now. Does your aunt think we can
make it?”
Brian asked in a low voice. He was in a bad mood about the last topic and Winnie’s word made him
sad.
“One day we’ll do it and we can be like this forever. We’ll be sensible in the long run.”
Winnie answered indifferently. Luke had told him not to like her, so they would become strangers
sooner or later.
Children were not an excuse, not a cause nor a result. There were many people in the world who lived
together for ten or twenty years still became strangers in the end, let alone that they had no experience
at all.
Now Winnie believed that time was the best curer and it could cure all heart disease. As long as her
heart did not reach the point of terminal disease, one day it would be healed.
Listening to Winnie’s words, Brian felt sad inexplicably. He didn’t want to be sensible and did not want
Winnie’s love to be diluted by time.
Seeing that Brian no longer spoke, Winnie made a call her to aunt and found an excuse that he would
go to relative’s today.
Then she went to bed on the pretext of rest, leaving her two children to Brian
B City
Leo had been thinking if he should go to Emily. He still thought about Emily all the time. He didn’t know
how to face her parents, and he didn’t know whether Emily would meet him.
He lied quietly in his bed, thinking of Emily.
Looking at the pendant that Emily gave him in hand, he felt he liked it.
But then he suddenly thought of a reason to see Emily.
He then made a call to Emily.
He made the first call, but for a long time no one answered. Leo was worried that Emily deliberately
refused to answer his phone.
But Leo still insisted and made a second call.
He waited for a long time again, but fortunately Emily picked up the phone.
“Why do you call you? Do you want me to help you on New Year’s Day...No, Winwin is not in B City.
Why should I help you?”
Emily spoke very loudly and she seemed to be in a noisy place.
“You’re not at home?”
Leo frowned and asked. It sounded like she was in a bar.
“Why will stay at home during New Year? I gotta go if you have nothing to say.”
Emily was to hang up the phone and Leo was anxious.
“I have, I want to give you back the pendant.”
Leo could only use it as an excuse to see Emily, and she seemed to be drunk, he wanted to see her.
“Pendant? Oh, you should have given it back. Either you go to my house and drop it in front of my
house, or you come over. I’m at the bar.”
Emily hung up the phone immediately after saying that. It seemed that he did not like the pendant after
all, just like her, no matter what she did, she could not get into his heart.
“Come on... Get drunk before you go home...” Emily needed alcohol very much at the moment to
paralyze her emotional nerve, so that she could get over Leo earlier.
It was New Year, the traffic on the street was less than usual. Leo sped up the car, wishing to find Emily
as soon as possible and stop her from drinking and get her away from the noisy bar.
Emily was in a private room. Leo pushed the door open and went in. He saw many people inside and
the air was filthy, the music was loud.
Seeing such a turbid scene, Leo frowned, especially when he saw Emily taking a big gulp of wine.
Without saying hello to anyone, Leo went directly to Emily and bent down to take her hand and try to
pull her away.
Only then did Emily discover Leo’s existence.
“Here you are, let me introduce you.”
“Attention everyone, I’d like you to meet someone. This man standing next to me is my...boyfriend...”
Emily was sober, but it was too noisy for others to hear her clearly. But her words got their interest.
“Oh... your boyfriend is so handsome. Why didn’t you tell us? Emily, are you afraid of him being robbed
by others?”
At this time everyone’s attention was on Leo. The men were jealous and the women were staring at
him.
“Stop, I’m not done. What are you doing? Listen to me. He is my ex-boyfriend.”
Emily said with a smile, deliberately emphasizing the word “ex”. But she knew that the smile on her
face was disguised, and in fact she felt very bitter.
“Ex-boyfriend, are you sure? Don’t blame we flirt with him then.”
One of the women laughed more loudly than the music, which drowned out Emily’s next sentence.
“Yes, I am sure, but you haven’t got a chance, he has --”
Before Emily finished her words, she was dragged out by Leo.
Outside, Emily shook off Leo’s hand.
“Don’t touch me, we are not boyfriend and girlfriend, other people will misunderstand.”
Emily kept her head down when she spoke, probably she did not want to look to Leo, or she was drunk.
“I send you home. Why don’t you stay at home to accompany you parents?”
Leo again took Emily’s hand and wanted to take her away. But Emily refused.
“My parents don’t stop me. Why do you care? Have I disgraced you? No, we have nothing to do with
each other, I can’t disgrace you.”
“What are you doing here? Come on, say it and leave. I have asked many friends out, it is rude to leave
them there.”
Emily was really drunk and even forgot what Leo was doing.
But before Leo said anything, she remembered.
“Oh, right, you come to return my pendant. You should have given it back to me. How can my cheap
stuff be worthy of your noble status as president? It is not as good as the handmade one.”
“Give it back to me.”
Emily reached out her hand and finally looked up at Leo.
However at the moment Leo twisted eyebrow and his handsome face was cold.
“Give it to me, don’t you want to give it back to me?”
See Leo standing there motionlessly, Emily urged.
“It is in the car. Come with me to get it.”
Leo finally spoke, but his voice was full of anger.
“You are annoying, it is just a pendant that you don’t want it. I don’t want it back, just throw it away.”
Emily felt that Leo was fooling her, but now she did not want to be fooled by him.
Emily said and turned to the room, but was stopped by Leo. Before she had figured out what was going
on, she had been picked up.
“You, put me down, I had a blind date, I have a boyfriend. If he sees it, he’ll misunderstand it.”
She was not as strong as Leo, and she could only say so.
Leo was upset hearing that. He did not it was joking or serious. How could she have a boyfriend so
soon?
Although he felt uncomfortable, he took her away.
When he passed the bar, he paid the bill.
When he put Emily into the car, he felt relieved. But looking at her red face, Leo felt distressed.
As he gave her alcohol deterrent, she thought it was wine and drank it up.
“This is your car, isn’t it? I know that pendant. Give mine back to me, I will give it to my boyfriend. If he
immediately hangs it on the car, it proves that he is not using me, if he put me off like you, I will
immediately break up with him. I will never be cheated again.”
Emily was lying in the back seat. When she drank alcohol deterrent, she got up and saw that dazzling
pendant.
Emily’s words made him feel distressed. She stretched out her hand to him. To her surprise, Leo did
not speak or hand it over. Instead, he got off the car.
Before Emily realized what was happening, the door of the back seat was opened and Leo got in. Emily
was in a daze but Leo pulled her and she directly lied on the legs of Leo.
“Did you really have a blind date?”
“Of course, we agreed to start dating after the New Year, so you have to keep your distance from me
now.”
When he passed the bar, he paid the bill.
