At the dinner table, the family was happy and harmonious.
“Megan, your foot hasn’t recovered and you can’t move a lot. You must listen to aunt’s words, ok?”
“Luke, have you studied today? Uncle Oscar will come back tomorrow. Do you want to start the class?”
As she ate, Winnie said.
“Mommy, I am good. When I don’t sleep, I will take off the gauze, when I take a nap, aunt helped me
wrap it up for fear that I will touch it.”
Megan answered, even if she was hurt, she was still sharp-tongued.
“Mommy, I am also good, my sister needs me to take care of, so I will not take the programming class
these two days.”
Luke answered.
“Well, do as you like. But make good use of the holidays, you’re going to school soon.”
Winnie had to remind the two children, to let them be psychologically ready.
“Got it, Mommy.”
Replied the two children with one voice.
Seeing that the two children were so sensible, Rufus smiled happily, even Joshua admired Winnie.
“Luke, Megan, you are the best. You are old enough to protect Mommy.”
Brian suddenly praised the two children, which stunned the two children.
“Daddy found out our secret, and he praised you because he saw how you protected Mommy.”
Winnie said it easily, so that the two children would not have resistance to that memory.
“Oh, that’s how it is. Daddy, you saw it? Brother was very awesome and domineering.”
Megan was happy and worshiped her brother more than before.
“Yes, you have to protect Mommy when someone bullies her. That’s what men do.”
Brian encouraged the children. Although he did not want to see such a thing happened again, he had
to say that to them.
“Daddy got a loophole words, I want to make it up. Luke and Megan should protect Mommy at the
premise that mommy has done nothing wrong. If Mommy’s wrong about one thing and you help
Mommy, it will be bad.”
Winnie did not want the children to have distorted thoughts and took this opportunity to let them know
what was right and what was wrong.
“Mommy, rest assured we only do good things and don’t do bad things.”
Megan had been infected by Mommy’s kindness and positive energy. They would not do bad things
anyway.
“Yes, that’s what I want.”
Winnie gave a warm smile, for the two children understood what she said.
“Winwin is really careful in educating the children. How happy these two children are to have a mother
like you.”
Joshua said jokingly, but he did admire Winnie.
She did her work well and took care of two children.
“Brother-in-law, you are joking. When I was angry, I would make a noise like a madman. You just didn’t
see it.”
But Winnie’s crazy education had not happened many times.
“Your brother-in-law envies your two children. He either held this one in his arms or held that one in his
arms all day, which made the children restrained.”
Stella joined in the conversation, but Joshua cleared his throat as soon as she finished speaking.
“I officially announce that I plan to have a baby.”
Everybody was unexpected to hear that, however Stella was the most shocked.
“Really? Are you serious?”
Stella asked Joshua in disbelief. Happiness came too suddenly, and she felt unreal.
“Yes, I am serious. Everyone heard me. How can I talk nonsense? Honey, you can prepare to be
pregnant now.”
Joshua said with a serious tone and a happy face.
“But what about your job?”
Stella continued to confirm, because Joshua had been focus on work for years. He had said that before
his career was successful, he was not gonna have baby. So they had not had children since they got
married.
Therefore, Stella could not believe Joshua’s sudden decision.
“I’m going to apply for a job transfer right after dinner. We’re going to have a baby, and we’re not going
anywhere.”
Although it was a sudden decision, he felt relaxed, as if he could see that he was playing with his kids.
Joshua continued to speak.
“In fact, I was inspired by Megan and Luke. Seeing how cute and lively they are, how smart and
beautiful they are, I really want a child of my own.”
“I have come to the conclusion that I must have a child while I am young so that I can have the energy
to play with my child and give him a happy and fulfilling childhood.”
Joshua’s words won the applause of all the people, but also made Stella excited to shed tears.
“Well, that’s a happy decision, you should laugh.”
Joshua put down his chopsticks and hugged Stella to caress her shoulder and comfort her.
“Dad, you’ve been worried about us all these years. You can expect grandchildren from now on.”
Joshua assured his father-in-law, so Stella could feel real.
“Good, I am still healthy, I can help you take care of the child.”
At the moment, Rufus was the happiest. Looking at this happy scene, feeling the joy of children and
grandchildren around, the so-called highest realm of life was nothing more than this.
In the evening, Brian took Luke to take a bath and then went to bed. Megan could not take a bath, so
Winnie wiped her body with a towel.
After applying her with scald ointment, Winnie re-wrapped the gauze, and then Megan fell asleep.
After the children had gone to sleep, the two went back to Brian’s room.
“Take off your clothes, I help you apply medicine.”
Brian’s tone was almost commanding. Winnie’s burn was on her back, and she could not apply the
medicine by herself. At this moment, his presence was important.
“I am ok. I don’t need the medicine.”
As she said that, she headed for the locker room, but was pulled back by Brian.
“Why not? You didn’t apply the ointment at noon. You must apply it at night.”
“Let me help you undress.”
Brian began to make a move after saying that.
Winnie refused, but Brian scolded her.
“You are not obedient again, if you move, the blisters will break.”
“Cooperate with me. After applying the ointment, we’ll go to bed.”
Brian’s voice became gentle and warm and Winnie was moved.
She did not continue to refuse, but obediently undressed and had the ointment applied.
Finally it’ was all done and they could go to sleep.
It was not very dark in the room, for the moon was half full outside.
“Do you regret it?”
Winnie said softly.
“Wendy?”
Asked Brian softly.
“Yes.”
“No, I will never regret it.”
With these words, Brian faced Winnie and hugged her in his arms. He held up Winnie’s quilt with his
hands for fear of accidentally breaking the blisters.
Brian said in a gentle voice.
“Winwin, what I’ve been through today is really tiring. But I certainly won’t regret it. I feel a lot lighter,
like a weight I’ve been carrying around for years has finally been lifted.”
“I feel like I can breathe fresh air. I even feel like I’m reborn. It’s a good feeling. It’s relaxing.”
Brian said his true feelings, although there was a little bit of loss in the heart, but compared with the
ease of taking off the burden, it was insignificant.
“Well, hearing that, I finally believe you have broken up with Wendy. Haven’t you started dating with the
woman on the blind date?”
Brian was confused to hear that, but he honestly answered.
“No.”
“Well, since you have broken up with Wendy and hadn’t started dating, you’re single.”
“I have a question for you. During you are single, can I be your girlfriend, so that I can feel what it is like
to be with you without stress and guilt?”
Winnie looked up at Brian who was stunned, looking forward to having a perfect answer.
Winnie was relaxed at this moment, at least she had no guilt to anyone when she nested in Brian’s
chest.
Brian gave a smile, but he felt a bit sad.
“Not these days, I want you to be my girlfriend for life.”
Brian spoke out his deep feeling and the truest voice.
“Fool, girlfriend can’t be for lifetime. Either you can married or leave as strangers.”
“Brain, if only I could have one day, I would have been content to be with you in a decent manner.”
“We start at this moment, and you can end it at any time.”
Winnie’s words made the atmosphere sad.
Brian did not answer, but looked at Winnie.
“Is that ok? If you don’t agree, I don’t have time.”
Winnie acted as a coqueting and begged Brian. She wanted to cherish every second with Brian
together.
Because everything might change and they might be over in the next morning.
“Ok, from now on you are my girlfriend, the woman I love.”
Brian could not say such irresponsible words, but Winnie could only accept such a relationship and was
only willing to be his girlfriend for a short time.
