Megan was worried about Felix's problem, for fear that Felix did not accept her, so again she confirmed
whether Felix liked her.
"Do you really like me, Great Grandpa?"
"Of course, I like you and you will stay in our home."
Felix repeated the answer. He liked this child, who was clever and he liked to listen to everything she
said.
"......"
As Megan wanted to ask if she could be with Mommy, she thought of Grandpa told her not to make
Great Grandpa angry, so she did not say that out.
"If you like me, I can accompany you every day."
Now the most important thing was to win Great Grandpa's favor, and she would do the rest according
to his meaning and gave him some time.
"Megan, what's going on with your daddy?"
Felix asked something he wanted to know. He asked Megan instead of Brian because he was not
angry at her.
"Daddy? Oh, you mean Daddy Oscar? I heard it from Mommy that in order to give me a registered
residence, she had a false marriage with him. Daddy Oscar is Mommy's best classmate."
What Megan knows was what Mommy said by accident.
"Has Mommy had a boyfriend for so many years?"
Felix continued to ask.
"No, not one. It is hard for Mommy to take care of us. She's always busy with work and never has a
boyfriend."
"Great Grandpa, I come to take you out to dinner. I am hungry, let’s eat first. If you have questions, you
can ask Grandpa."
Megan stopped the conversation, because she couldn't tell what to say and what not to say. She was
afraid that she might spoil Dad's plans if she said too much.
"OK, let's go out to dinner."
When Felix got up and bowed his head, he found that Megan had only one shoe on and the injured foot
was bare.
"Does it still hurt?"
Felix asked and remembered it was Wendy caused it.
"No, the blisters disappear when I see you."
Megan replied with a smile, and then walked out of the study slowly holding Felix's hand.
Brian left the suburbs and went straight to Winnie's home. When he saw her car in the underground
parking space, he felt at ease.
He was not sure what Grandpa said to Winnie, and did not know if Winnie felt wronged, so he came to
her regardless of his Grandpa’s warming.
No sooner had Winnie arrived home than she heard the bell before she could settle down. Without
much thought, she guessed that it was Brian, so she went to the door and opened it.
The door opened. Before Winnie could speak, she was held in his arms by Brian who was emotional.
Brian felt the real Winnie, relieved.
"It's going to be harder for me since you came like this."
Winnie looked dissatisfied, but her heart was quite warm, at least at this helpless moment she was not
alone. And there was a warm embrace around her.
Then Brian let Winnie go.
"I don’t care. If my freedom is restricted, I will be my grandfather's puppet."
Brian said in a domineering manner, but he was still worried. He had heard his grandfather's warning.
On the way he had told Albert to arrange someone to secretly protect Winnie, lest she encountered
danger or forcibly taken away.
"Don't say that. It's a sudden thing for the chairman and he needs time to digest it."
Winnie was still persuading Brian, so as not to make the two generations unhappy because of her.
"Don't worry about other people's feelings. What did Grandpa say to you? Did he give you a hard
time?"
Brian did not care anyone but Winnie at this moment.
"You are so anxious. If he made it hard for me, how can I be so easy? Don't worry, he just told me that I
wasn't allowed to go to his house and to be with the children."
Winnie could accept the first half of the sentence, but she could not accept that she was not allowed be
with the children, but she did not show it.
"Winwin, I will fight for it. Don't worry. You will not be separated from the children under any
circumstances. I promise.”
It was so hard for Winnie.
Brian saw that Winnie was enduring and undertaking it, but she had not broken down yet.
"Well, I believe you and I believe Chairman is not that heartless."
Now Winnie could only do was to believe, because she was like an egg to Felix and had no ability to
resist.
"Go back. Chairman just came back today. You go and accompany him."
Winnie said gently.
However, Brian did not go back, but sat on the sofa holding her hand.
"No, I'm the person he hates most now, and going back will only upset him more. I'm not sure I won't
annoy him if he goes on asking me about it."
Brian was afraid that Felix would faint with anger. If it were another person, he would not have had
such an attitude.
Winnie slightly raised the corner of his mouth and thought Brian was reasonable, so she did not urge
him to go back.
"Are you hungry? There are noodles, I cook for you."
Winnie was unsettled, but she could only force a smile, because it took time to calm down.
Winnie got up and walked to the kitchen, followed by Brian.
Although his troubles were not solved, he felt steadfast as long as he was with Winnie, not to mention
eating noodles or drinking cold water.
In the suburbs.
The dinner time was peaceful and neither of them mentioned what had just happened.
After dinner, the family sat in the living room. After a moment's silence, Felix finally spoke.
"Stella, take the two children upstairs to play.”
Felix commanded in a deep voice, not waiting for Stella to respond, Joshua volunteered.
"I'll go. I'll take the kids upstairs to play."
Joshua was not hiding, he just didn't think he was suitable for this kind of occasion.
Joshua walked upstairs holding Megan in arms and holding Luke in hand, leaving only Felix, Rufus,
and Stella in the living room.
"Did Brian go to Winnie?"
Felix asked coldly. He did not pursue who should take the responsibility, because it had become a fact
and it was of no use to pursue the responsibility.
"He didn't tell us when she left, but I think so."
Stella answered uncertainly.
Felix's face darkened. He had just warned Brian, but the next moment Brain went against his will, it
seemed that he could not control Brian any more.
But what was in his mind at the moment could not be expressed.
"Winnie said it was because Thomas went to the prison to see Penny that she decided to tell the story
of the children. Is it true?"
At this moment, Felix wanted to solve it.
"It's true. The prison surveillance had been taken out. Uncle Thomas went there several times."
It was Stella answered.
"What does he want? Doesn’t he know that Penny is an enemy of our family?"
Felix said angrily and was disappointed for Thomas's behavior.
"We don't know. In common sense, he should know that he could not go and see Penny."
Stella had no idea what happened, but she had been on the alert, for fear that Thomas was ambitious.
"He should never have come back."
After Felix said these words coldly, he fell silent.
After all these years of his absence, nothing happened to the Bennet family, and the Bennet Group was
thriving. But he lost control of his ambition when he came back.
"Don't let Brian know what happened in those years. If he knows, it will be a mess at our family."
Felix mentioned the things of that year.
“We can conceal it, but if Brian gets back his memory, it can’t be concealed anymore. Grandpa, be
prepared."
Stella had to remind Felix, because Brian was getting back his memory bit by bit.
"Conceal it first and be quiet for a more day."
Felix knew that Brian would find out one day, but he did not want to see a war within the family when he
was alive.
"Dad, what are you going to do about Winnie and the children?"
Rufus asked, concerning about the children and Winnie.
For him, things between Thomas and Brian sooner or later was to be solved, no one could escape it.
And he wanted it done as soon as possible, rather than buried with a time bomb.
But Winnie and her children were more important. Only Winnie and the children were settled, Brian
could set his mind at work and deal with Thomas.
"You take care of the children. Winnie is not allowed to contact the children."
"Such a woman is too insidious, she can’t in our family."
Speaking of this matter, Felix's tone seemed to be sharper. Only in this way can he stick to his attitude.
"Dad, you can't be so judgmental. Winnie is not a sinister person. And the children..."
"If she is not sinister, how can she conceal me for so long? How can she stick to Brian? And what do
you know about her?"
Felix interrupted Rufus's words in a domineering manner. He did not want anyone to stand up to refute
or wave his heart.
Rufus, however, still wanted to do something for her, so he continued.
"She didn't tell you because she was afraid that you would deprive her of the custody of two children.
She told you because she planned everything for Brian and didn't want anything unpleasant to happen
between Brian and Thomas."
"She is not scheming. If she is cunning, Brian would not be what he is now."
"Dad, now that the matter has come up, I have to tell you. The children need their parents' love, and
none of us has the right to take that away."
"When Megan left before New Year, you couldn't stand to see it if you were there. She cried sadly. She
kept asking me secretly why she couldn't spend the New Year with the Bennet family and why her
family had to spend the New Year separately."
"Dad, I felt sorry I could give Megan a perfect answer. I am sadder that I have no right to determine the
future of my son and I had no ability to let him find his own happiness."
Rufus's eyes turned red as he spoke that sadly.
