Winnie knew the character of Megan, she would ask a lot of questions, but there were so many stories
about the hilltop villa, it’d better not to let her know.
“Oh, it’s my great grandpa. Daddy, I haven’t said happy new year to him yet, can I call him now?”
Megan said.
“But...”
Before Brian could finish his words, she was interrupted again.
“Megan, use mom’s mobile phone to send a message to Great Grandpa. If you call him, he will know
Daddy and brother are here.”
Winnie handed the phone to Megan.
She was afraid that it would cause unnecessary troubles if Megan said too much.
Megan took over the phone and texted Great Grandpa. Brian looked to Winnie.
“Winwin, why are you so cautious?”
“I am not, I just don’t want to cause unnecessary trouble to others. Since my parents died, I have been
living in trouble every day. I always caused all kinds of trouble, so I don’t want that happen again.”
Indeed, as Winnie said, she was always afraid of giving trouble to others, so she had to be careful in
everything.
“Winwin, we’ve known each other for a long time. All I know is that your parents died in a car accident. I
don’t understand why you owe a lot of money after a car accident. Can you talk to me?”
Brian wanted Winnie to tell him everything, so that she could get over her grief.
Winnie thought for a moment and felt it was not a shady thing, so it was ok to say that.
“The debt is due to...
Just as Winnie was about to speak, the doorbell rang.
“Let’s talk another day. Maybe it’s dinner.”
Winnie got up to open the door and did not talk about it.
The old house of the Bennet family in B City.
After dinner, Rufus and Thomas sat in the living room with their father watching TV. Then Thomas was
bored and went out to play cards with his wife, leaving only Rufus and Felix in the living room.
At this time, Felix got a text. He inadvertently took a look at it and found it was from Winnie.
“Hello, Great Grandpa, I am Megan. It is the beginning of the New Year, I wish you health and
happiness in the new year. Mommy wishes you a happy New Year too and she said that she thanked
you for your help and care over the past year. Great Grandpa, I love you.”
Seeing this message, Felix was very warm in heart and felt moved.
“Megan is adorable, she wishes me a happy new year.”
Felix said.
“It was her mommy who taught her.”
Rufus was secretly happy in the moment of hearing his father praised Megan. He was proud of her.
“Yes, she is sensible and clever, brave and tough, just like her mother.”
“Winnie is a good girl, committed and responsible, but she was born to the wrong family.”
Felix said with pity. She was the perfect candidate for the Bennet family, but she did not have a rich
family
“Yes, she is good, especially in the job and the education of the children. She taught Megan and Luke
well.”
Rufus said. Actually, Felix thought Winnie was good, but he was stereotype and no one could change
that.
When it came to Winnie’s excellence, Felix agreed. What he always paid attention to was her ability
and wanted to find a special outstanding point to make up for her deficiency.
“Yes, she is very good at work. She has High EQ and high IQ. Alas......Don’t talk about her, or I will feel
it hard.”
Felix changed the topic, because Winnie was not suitable for the mistress of the Bennet family, but he
felt it was a pity to give up on her.
“Rufus, you are more than sixty years old. And you are one year older now, and your days ahead are
getting harder and harder. Stella can’t watch over you every day since she is abroad. Even if Brian
moves back to live with you, most of his energy is on his work and he has no time to take care of you.”
“You can marry a woman, so that you can look after each other, and the children can rest assured.”
Felix had been thinking about this matter, but he did not know if Rufus would agree.
“I can take care of myself and I’m used to being alone for so many years. I don’t want others to bother
me.”
Rufus refused directly.
For all these years, he had been atoning with a sorry heart. If he could think it through, if he could let it
go, he wouldn’t have been single for so many years.
“Can’t you get over Isobel?”
Felix became suddenly serious. The only reason for Rufus to refuse was Isobel.
“Dad, I’m over sixty years old, and I can manage my own affairs. My relationship with Brian has just
improved, and I don’t want to ruin it.”
Rufus did not want to mention Isobel to his father and did not want to speak of those past events.
“Can’t you face reality? After all these years the atonement must have ended. Besides, it was not all
your fault. If Isobel has not pestered you, it would not have ended like that.”
Felix was inexplicably angry. His son tortured himself for so many years but he did not intend to stop
that, he was worried about that.
He was in his nineties, and he might die one day, but how could he rest in peace if his son went on like
that?
“Don’t talk about that, Dad. I have my own ideas. As I explained to you, Isobel was not at fault. She
was also a victim. You’d better not say anything about her.”
Rufus’s tone was low, because his father was old, no matter how father vilified Isobel, he could not
contradict his father.
“You always avoid it. If you feel you owe Isobel, why don’t you find Isobel and apologize to her? If she
is really as good a woman as you say she is, I am sure she will forgive you.”
“But if she appeared, Brian and Stella would not accept her. Take care of it.”
Felix agreed Rufus to meet Isobel, after all, his son had been lonely for years, and whoever Rufus was
with, it had no impact on the Bennet Group.
But Brian might not agree.
“Dad, it’s too late. I can’t find her.”
If he heard these words 20 years ago, he might have been so excited that he could not sleep. But now
it didn’t make any sense.
The pain that everyone involved should bear had already been borne. The apology was insignificant,
which could not make up for the hurt that everyone had suffered.
Felix fell into silence, in those days he participated in this matter. If he had not, would it be different?
But in that situation, it was the best thing he could do for the bigger picture. But to his surprise, Brian’s
mother would commit suicide by jumping off a building, and Rufus unexpectedly gave up everything,
allowed the children to hate him, and he only chose a quiet life.
“I can send someone to find her, as long as she is alive, she will be found.”
Felix felt said that his son was alone at his old age.
“No need. Brian and Stella can’t accept it. Dad, don’t worry about me. I am happy that Brian can return
to the suburbs. I’ll be content if he live with me till I am dead.”
Rufus did not reveal Isobel. Although his father was compromised, but he might be cruel to her when
he saw Isobel.
To make Isobel could have a peaceful life, he chose to conceal it.
Once Isobel was exposed, all things could not be concealed. And the relationship between Brian and
Winnie would change.
Although they had children, but if he concealed it, the Chamber family could have a quiet life.
“Alas......”
Felix sighed. He was worried about it.
“Dad, are you really going to let Wendy marry Brian?”
After a short silence, Rufus asked.
He felt that Wendy was not worthy of Brian, and did not have the temperament to be the hostess of the
Bennet family. If he married Wendy, the two children would suffer.
“I basically gave up Wendy and I have asked Brian to go on a new blind date.”
Felix had not told anyone about that for fear of spreading to the ears of Wendy, and Wendy would
make mischief.
“Blind date? Brian agrees?”
Rufus felt indescribable. Who would Brian accept the blind date? Could he give up on Wendy? If he
could, why did not choose Winnie?
“He accepted the blind date and I agreed Winnie and Megan to come to our home for the New year.”
Hearing that, Rufus understood what it meant, it was an exchange of interests.
“But Winnie won’t come.”
In other words, Brian was willing to jump into his grandfather’s trap.
“Yes, she is sensible and she did not come.”
Felix knew that even if he did not call Winnie, she would not come. Winnie was more reserved in this
respect than Wendy.
“What does Brian think? If he agreed to have a blind date, it means that he will separate with Wendy.
Can he give up Wendy now?”
Rufus was confused.
“He has to. What is Wendy? She doesn’t have anything, even the morals. She thinks her father’s
company can support her, but it doesn’t seem so to me.”
Speaking of Wendy, Felix’s was angry. Thinking of what Wendy had done, he hated her even more.
