Brian was impatient and then interrupted Kevin’s words.
“You can shut up, everybody knows it and you don’t have to give us a lesson.”
“Doctor Burns, I also think you should keep your mouth shut and make a good meal, or we’ll be hungry
at noon.”
Leo added. The two men turned to their respective duties, ignoring Kevin’s eloquence.
“I am right. If I don’t speak, will you stop? Now you gang up to blame me.”
Kevin had not finished his words, but as long as there was no quarrel, it was good.
They stayed at Kevin’s home all day and left after dinner.
Winnie wanted to go back to her home, Brian asked her to go to the suburbs. Finally he failed to
persuade her but he did not leave. He got in Winnie’s car, no matter where Winnie went, he was with
her.
Brian sat in the co-pilot’s seat. He looked at the bright and lively night scene outside and then at Winnie
who was focusing on driving. He seemed to enjoy it very much.
As he was enjoying this comfortable moment, Wendy called him.
Seeing that, he frowned and took a look at Winnie before he picked up the phone.
“What is it?”
Brian’s callous voice and the bright fireworks outside created a world of ice and fire.
“Brian, my mother has been a little out of line today. Please don’t be angry. I talked to her after you left,
and it was only because you hadn’t been home for so long that she said that. She misses you and
doesn’t think you’re a stranger, and that is why she said that.”
“Brian, are you angry? I’m sorry for that. I promise it won’t happen again.”
Wendy gave a sincere apology, afraid of Brian hung up the phone and did not give her a chance to
explain.
“Wendy, I won’t go to your home these days. Don’t come to me in the next few days. Let me have a
good rest. I’ll contact you when it is time for work and we’ll talk about it.”
Brian’s tone eased when he heard Wendy’s soft voice.
“Brian, I know you are angry. But your will go to work on the seventh day, and we have leisure time
finally, I want to be with you. Brian, I...”
“Stop and do what I tell you. I’ll call you.”
Brian cruelly interrupted the words of Wendy, and then hung up the phone.
He wanted to be quiet and not think about the annoying things.
After the phone was put down, the car was silent for a while. Winnie knew it was Wendy who made the
call, but she didn’t ask. Finally, Brian spoke.
“Don’t you wonder what I said to Wendy?”
Brian looked sideways at Winnie.
“Yes, I’m curious about everything about you. But I can’t ask. It’s your private affairs.”
Winnie answered insipidly. She would be curious about Brian all her life, but her curiosity could not be
satisfied.
“You love me carefully.”
Brian helplessly shook his head. He knew that Winnie was a cautious and a noble person, but he really
hoped that Winnie could be selfish in love.
“If I’m not careful, I’ll be haunting you now. If I do that, it would be hard for you, and after a while you
wouldn’t like me.”
“Whatever I do, it’s better to be sensible, and that’s what keeps it going.”
Winnie had her own rules. If the person sitting next to her was her boyfriend or husband, she must ask
who made the call and what they said.
But he was not, if she asked, it would only annoyed Brian.
“Everything you say is right.”
Brian sighed and continued to say.
“It’s Wendy apologized to me. But there was no need anymore. I decided to straighten things out with
her when I get to work and end our relationship.”
As he said that, his attitude changed and his voice sank. Winnie saw Brian was upset, after all, it took
him more than four years to get Wendy.
“Are you willing to? If you don’t want to break up, talk with chairman and get married with her. Even if
you make another choice, it may not be true love.”
Winnie thought she must be crazy. How could she persuade the man she loved to marry another
woman?
It was normal though, because she loved him and wanted the person she loved to be happy.
“You are my true love. Grandpa will choose. I don’t care as long as he’s happy.”
“For Wendy, I really can’t bear it, but if I keep dragging it like this, it will hurt her more. Besides,
Grandpa will not accept her. It’s no use trying.”
As his voice fell, Brian took a deep breath.
“She caused that, if she came back and said she would accept Luke, we would have married, and
Grandpa would not be so disappointed.”
Winnie could feel his contradictory heart at the moment. Although he said she was his true love, Wendy
was his true love too.
If Winnie remembered correctly, Brian had never hesitated or conflicted when making a choice about
her. However, on the issue of Wendy, Brian must be careful for fear of causing harm to Wendy. That
was the difference.
“Don’t let yourself regret it.”
Winnie had nothing more to say. She could not get involved in Brian’s matter, otherwise it would
become worse.
“I will regret it, Winnie......”
Brian got serious in eyes.
“Huh?”
“Let’s leave, take the kids with us.”
Brian’s unexpected words scared Winnie. She inadvertently stepped on the brake and the car rocked
back and forth. Winnie recovered her mind.
“Don’t talk nonsense, it would be the most irresponsible thing for us to leave, and you will regret it.”
“It’s better to face reality than to run away.”
Winnie rejected Brian’s irresponsible behavior.
In the process that she contacted with Felix for many times, Winnie knew Brian was hope to Felix, the
future to the Bennet Group. How could she selfishly monopolize such an important man, how could she
destroy the hopes of a ninety-year-old man?
She loved Brian, whether it was bitter or sweet, it was the destiny. Since it was detiny, she would
accept it and never did unconscionable things, never put her own happiness based on the pain of
others.
Although Winnie’s answer was not what Brian wanted to hear, Brian was very pleased and proud,
because Winnie did not lose herself and did not escape from reality. That might be the reason why he
loved her so much.
After putting down the phone, Wendy was more flustered than before the call. She left the living room
and went back to her bedroom. In the whole process she was in a trance.
She closed the door and shut herself in an airtight space and did not want to be disturbed by anyone.
At this time she was panic and wondered what Brian’s words meant.
She could not figure it out. She even thought of a hundred possibilities, but she felt that none of them
would be right.
At a loss, she could only ask Klara and Laura for help.
Wendy: Who is there?
Laura: I’m here.
Klara: I’m, too. I always stare at my phone during the New Year?
Laura: Yeah, in New Year, a group of people huddled around the dining table with chopsticks in hand
and looking down at their phones.
Then Laura sent a laugh emoji, not aware of Wendy’s troubles now.
Wendy: I’m not as happy as you are. Give me some advice. I think my hair is falling out.
Klara: What’s wrong?
Laura: What happened?
Klara and Laura found Wendy was wrong.
Wendy was silent these days, they thought she spent New Year with Brian. This was only the fourth
day. Did she mess it up?
Wendy: It’s a long story. I can’t finish typing in a day. I’ll use voice.
Then Wendy used voice to tell them what happened the two days. But as for the reason why she did
not go to the Bennet’s for the New Year, she said that she had to stay at home with her parents. It could
be seen how hypocritical Wendy was, and she even did not tell truth to her friends.
Klara: The chairman is not at home, and Mr. Bennet is not at home either? You can go to the suburbs.
If You went home like that, it would be embracing. Your mother was really a little too aggressive in this
matter. I know Mr. Bennet, except the chairman, a puzzled look is unacceptable to him. Your mother
must have made him lose face.
Klara had been restrained, in fact, her evaluation on Wendy’s mother in heart was much worse than
that. She felt that Wendy’s mother could not see the facts and thought her daughter was noble, now
they were in troubles.
Wendy: I can’t go to the suburbs because I quarreled with Brian’s father that day because of the
children. I wouldn’t be there even if he invited me.
Wendy said herself so lofty and covered up what she had done.
Laura: quarreled with Mr. Bennet’s father? Wendy, are you trying to give up Mr. Bennet? Although the
relationship between them is not very good, but after all, he is Mr. Bennet’s father, why did you quarrel
with him? I told you to please everyone in the Mr. Bennet family before, but you’ve offended the key
person.
Laura felt incredible. Wendy had not done everything well.
Wendy: I can’t always be humble. I should be strong when it necessary. Their bad relationship won’t
influence Brian’s choice.
Wendy said lyingly.
