As he spoke, Brian took Winnie’s hand and walked to the sofa and sat down. Then he began to place
breakfast in front of Winnie.
“Why so much?”
Looking at the breakfast, Winnie felt happy and touched to be loved and cared by someone.
“Yes, for both of us. I came out hungry from home to have breakfast with you.”
Brian’s words touched Winnie thoroughly. She hugged Brian who was sitting beside her, and her tears
flowed down.
“I am moved. You make me cry in the morning, did you do it deliberately?”
Winnie said, she never thought that she and Brian could love each other like other couples, never
thought that Brian would be so considerate and meticulous.
“You’re my girlfriend, and doing this for you is basic. Don’t cry, you’re the strongest woman.”
Brian did not expect that Winnie would be moved by such a small thing, but from this he saw that
Winnie had been strong for too long. She was so tired and needed him give her warmth.
“I’m not strong. I want to be a little woman.”
Indeed, her has been strong for too long and physically and mentally exhausted. She just wanted to be
woman who can cry and laugh and casually express her feelings, because she felt that only this kind of
woman would be loved and cherished.
“Ok, do what you want. But eat your breakfast first, or you’ll be sorry for him.”
Brian put his hands on Winnie’s shoulders and made her keep a distance with him.
Brian reached for a tissue and wiped Winnie’s tears. Every time he saw her tears, Brian would feel
hurtful.
“Did your father ask you to bring breakfast?”
Winnie, while enjoying the warmth of Brian, asked nasally.
“Yes, you seem to be more important to him now than I am.”
Brian answered and handed the chopsticks to Winnie.
“Eat, or he will be sad.”
Joking, Brian kept a smiling face when he mentioned his father.
“You still can’t call him Dad?”
Winnie asked the question instead of eating with her chopsticks.
Brian’s smile froze, but he had no resistance to it.
“Wait.”
Brian only gave a few intriguing words, but Winnie knew he was working on it bit by bit and needed
time.
“Eat, I’m hungry.”
Winnie said with a smile. Seeing that Brian changed bit by bit, she felt happy and had sense of
achievement.
Winnie was happy but Leo was in a mess, it was not because of work but his mind.
As time went by and Emily went through the formalities of going abroad, he was in a mess and he
didn’t know what to do.
Daenerys agreed to help him, but she was now in recuperation without much energy. However when
Daenerys was good, Emily would have gone abroad.
So now he could not only rely on Daenerys, but thought of all kinds of ways.
After being busy for two days, Leo finished the work that had not been unfinished when it was time to
get off work. At this point he should stretch and relax himself, and then drive home.
Instead, he picked up his cell phone, picked up his coat and walked outside, dialing the number.
He made a call to Emily again and again, but Emily did not answer.
At this time Leo did not know where Emily should be, and did not know who might know about her
whereabouts.
Suddenly he stopped and made a decision.
Leo drove directly to Emily’s home. If she was not there, he would have a frank talk with her parents. If
she was there, he would talk to the family.
Leo’s ultimate goal was to persuade the two old people and wanted them to help him.
At Emily’s home, he did not see Emily but her parents.
Leo sat on the sofa in Emily’s living room. Facing the Emily’s unfriendly parents, he was nervous.
“Emily is not at home, right?”
Leo cheered himself up and broke the silence.
“She went out to play yesterday and has not come back. She said she wanted to play enough before
going abroad.”
Emily’s mother was enigmatic, obviously she was dissatisfied with Leo and stressed the words of
“going abroad.”
“I... I come today to apologize...”
“No need to apologize. You apologized last time. You are estranged and we cannot force you to be
together. But I am disappointed in your performance.”
Emily’s father interrupted Leo in an unkind tone, though not serious.
“Leo, no matter in career or personal affair, I have always had a good impression on you, so I agreed to
your blind date, but I didn’t think it would end up like this.”
“I can see that Emily likes you, but you don’t like her. If you don’t like her, I won’t force you. It’s not like
my daughter is unmarriageable and I have to give her to you. But you let us down. Since you don’t like
her, you should have refused and shouldn’t made Emily be sad for you.”
Emily’s father was disappointed at Leo, he thought he had trusted a wrong person.
As soon as Emily’s father’s voice fell, he did not give Leo a chance to say sorry. Emily’s mother could
not calm down and continued to say.
“Yes. Although Emily is the only child in my family, she is not spoiled. She has been very thoughtful and
happy all her life. Since she broke up with you, she has been so depressed that she didn’t even like to
talk.”
“She never went to a bar before, never slept out. Ever since she broke up with you, she has been going
out drinking with friends I don’t even know.”
“Leo, you are doing Emily a lot of harm.”
Emily’s mother could not help but shed tears. Her daughter who used to be cheerful and lively suddenly
became so depressed and volunteered to go abroad. No parent could accept such a change.
Leo was ashamed and chagrined. He regretted that he should not hurt Emily like that. Now it seemed
that not only Emily was hurt, but also her parents.
Leo did not hurry to explain, but pulled out tissue, came to Emily’s mother and squatted down.
“I’m sorry. Emily’s pain was caused by me. I’m sorry to her and to you.”
As he said, Leo helped wipe Emily’s mother’s tears. In the eyes of Emily’s father, this scene made him
feel that it was a pity to lose Leo as a son-in-law.
Leo continued to say.
“It is my mistake and I will take it on myself. I will try my best not to let Emily get hurt again.”
Hearing that, the two old people were shocked.
“You......What does that mean?”
Emily’s mother asked Leo, holding back tears.
“I was wrong. But since I broke up with Emily, I have found that my life without her is restless. I worry
about her. I miss her. When I can’t sleep at night, I always wonder if she can’t sleep either.”
At this, Leo stood up and faced the two old men.
“I want to start over with Emily. I want to pursue her again, can I?”
Leo bowed towards them.
For Leo’s sincerity and his sudden change, the attitude of the two elderly eased.
“Leo, Emily went on a blind date before New Year. It’s up to Emily to make her own choices. We can’t
help.”
Emily’s father said calmly, in fact, he dare not believe what Leo just said, dare not let her daughter to
be with Leo.
“I know about her blind date, and I understand that you don’t help. As long as you don’t object that I
court Emily, I’ll take care of the rest.”
Leo had made up his mind that no matter Emily had a blind date or not, no matter whom he loved, he
wanted to be together with Emily all his life.
Emily’s father was in a dilemma, afraid that this state would get worse and worse. As long as he could
make Emily happy even if he was a beggar, he could marry Emily off.
But Emily was hurt now, would she hurt more if she was with Leo again?
Emily’s father and Emily’s mother looked at each ther. The two old men understood each other that
they did like Leo.
“It’s up to you, as long as you can make Emily happy.”
Emily’s mother finally gave an answer. But there were some words she had to say.
“But Leo, we have to remind you that if it happens again, I, as a mother, will never spare you.”
Threat or not, it was pleasing to hear for Leo, because he saw hope.
“Thank you, I will not let you down again. I promise you, I will marry Emily.”
Leo was very excited like a child who got candy. With the permission of the two old men, his journey
would be easier.
“Can I know who Emily’s blind date was?”
After the excitement, he had to face the reality. After know who it was, he would make careful
understanding, so as to pursue Emily back.
“You know each other. I heard that there is an important cooperation between your two companies. It’s
the Bennet Group’s president, Brian Bennet.”
Hearing that, Leo frowned, but he suppressed all thoughts in front of the two old people.
“I see. A formidable opponent indeed. But you can rest assured since I pursue Emily, I will overcome all
difficulties.”
Leo assured, but he was worried.
He learned Emily’s exact location from the two old men and left.
