Stella felt guilty because she couldn't control the situation.
All she wanted was for the two children to act out a drama of suffering. She didn't ask for much, and as
long as it made Grandpa feel uncomfortable, the play wasn't in vain.
But she had not expected the two children to be uncontrollably affectionate.
Stella looked at the black face of Felix and hurried to comfort him.
"Grandpa, children talked nonsense. Don't listen to them. Eat some food."
"I've had enough. You go on eating."
Felix finally spoke, but left directly.
"Grandpa..."
Stella wanted to stop grandpa, but was stopped by Rufus by raising his hand.
Watching Felix went back to the room and closed the door, Rufus spoke in a low voice.
"There was nothing wrong with what the children said and he heard it. Let him think it over."
Rufus felt that although Megan's words were sharp and it would be hard for Felix who had been
superior all his life to accept, he was not angry at Megan and did not punish her.
After hung up the phone with her two children, Winnie texted Brian, telling him to return to the suburbs,
because the children would be insecure and upset without parents around.
For two children not to worry about them, Winnie could only ask Brian to go back to comfort the
children.
After receiving a positive reply from Brian, Winnie realized that she was hungry. She looked into the
refrigerator and she got nothing to eat, but she felt troublesome to cook, so she too her coat and was to
eat at Daenerys’. Jelly Bean was there, she thought time would pass fast, but as she was downstairs,
she was called by someone.
"Hello, Miss Chambers."
Winnie recognized the man, the owner of the hot pot restaurant.
"It's you. Why are you here?"
Winnie asked curiously.
"I am waiting for you."
The man said softly.
"Waiting for me? Why?"
Winnie was even more puzzled.
“I want to talk to you about compensation to your daughter. I know your home is in this neighborhood,
but I don't know which floor it is, so I can only wait here."
The man said directly.
'Thank you, Sir. I didn't expect you thought about the child. There are not many people like you who are
willing to compensate."
Winnie was gratified and touched by the man’s attitude.
"My daughter is all right, she doesn’t need compensation. Well, I should give you a refund. I'm sure you
saw the surveillance video. It's not your fault."
Winnie continued.
"Give me your account number and I'll pay you back the medical bills."
In fact, Winnie was sorry that it caused impact on the hot pot restaurant. And the waiter and the boss
were there with them.
"No, Miss Chamber, the child got an accident in my restaurant, even if someone intentionally tripped
the waiter, we also have unshirkable responsibility. If you pay us back the medical bills, we'll feel
worse."
"Miss Chambers, let’s talk about compensation."
The owner of the hotpot restaurant was sincere and insisted to compensate her.
"No, no need, how about this? I don’t pay you back the medical bill, and you don’t need to compensate
me. Let's just pretend it never happened."
Winnie refused, how could she take the compensation.
"Miss Chambers, since you refuse, I'll invite you to dinner, and then the whole thing will be over."
The owner of the hotpot restaurant changed the way to compensate.
"I..."
Winnie wanted to refuse, but the restaurant owner knew she would do so, so he interrupted her.
"Go to my hot pot restaurant and take both children with you. This will make up for your miseating last
time."
"......"
"Miss Chambers, don't be polite to me. I'm a fan of your games. It's nothing for me to invite you to have
a meal even if the child wasn't injured."
The hotpot restaurant owner said and did not give Winnie a chance to refuse.
Winnie was silent for a moment, and then agreed to his invitation.
"Well, just go to your hotpot restaurant."
Winnie said. The owner of the hot pot restaurant smiled happily.
"I'm here waiting for you, you go upstairs to pick up the children, if your husband is at home, bring him
with you."
When it came to her husband, Winnie was obviously embarrassed. It was a fact that she had children
and the children had a father, but the father of her children was not her husband.
"The children have gone to their grandfather's, and I am the only one at home."
“Ok, can we go now?”
The owner of the hot pot restaurant noticed Winnie's embarrassment, but couldn't understand why.
Two people came to the hotpot restaurant. The owner did not use private room, but a relatively quiet
corner in the hall, because Winnie was a woman and he was afraid that it was not good to be with her
alone.
This showed that the owner of the hot pot restaurant was a thoughtful person.
After the two sat down and ordered, the hotpot restaurant owner formally introduced himself.
"Miss Chambers, my name is Stefan Brooks. I'm the owner of this hot pot restaurant. I am 30 years old,
180cm tall and unmarried. I run this hot pot restaurant all by myself."
Stefan introduced himself to Winnie, but his self-introduction made Winnie embarrassed, because it
sounded more like a blind date self-introduction.
Winnie gave a faint smile and introduced herself too.
"Hello, Mr. Brooks, I am sorry I didn’t know your name."
"Let me introduce myself. My name is..."
"Your name is Winnie Chamber. I don't know your age, but I do know your occupation. Game developer
and software engineer, you are versatile in software, and there is no field that you can't cover. And you
are professional in the design of the appearance of the mobile phone. Am I right?"
Stefan interrupted Winnie and made self-introduction for her.
His understanding of Winnie surprised her. It was only a minor accident, and he got deep investigation
on her.
"How do you know, Mr. Brooks?"
Winnie asked Stefan gently.
"As I said, I'm a fan of your games. It's all on your profile."
Stefan felt her rudeness, so she explained.
"Oh, you told me and I have forgotten it."
Winnie gave an embarrassing smile, because she thought Stefan investigated her. But it was written in
her profile.
"Since you are a fan of my game, give me some advice."
Winnie relieved her embarrassment.
"No, at least no so far. I wouldn't be a fan of your games if I had any."
Stefan said humorously and Winnie relaxed.
"Mr. Brooks, you are sweet. If you have any opinions in the future, please tell me. I will correct them in
time so as to retain more players. And I put a comment area in the game where all the players can give
me their comments."
Winnie found topic more interesting when it came to the game.
"I will and I want to keep playing."
"Miss Chambers, please give me your autograph some day. I think if your name is popular, you will be
famous. I want an autograph first so that I can show off."
Stefan said with a smile, but he really wanted Winnie's autograph.
"Mr. Brooks, you are joking. I heard the stars would be asked for autograph, but have never heard
someone asked for game autograph."
Winnie showed a warm smile, showing dimples on face, which stunned Stefan.
"You don't understand, to us who love to play games, you creators are the stars."
Stefan said jokingly, for fear that Winnie felt restrained.
Although he and Winnie had met only three times and did not know much about each other, he thought
she should be a nice person to get along with.
"I'm going to have to practice my signature, or I'm going to be embarrassed when someone asks me
for autograph."
Winnie couldn't help laughing. She didn't think she'd become so famous, and no one would ask for her
autograph.
What Stefan said was compliment, but it was a kind of encouragement to her.
After this meal, they had never mentioned the medical bills again as agreed, so it was in the past.
They had one more friend because of that.
The next day.
After having breakfast, Felix went home with Stella, Joshua and two children. Brian went to work as
usual.
As he arrived at the company and was about to start work, he received a phone call from Wendy's
mother.
"Brian, what is wrong with Wendy? She doesn’t eat, drink or sleep. It’s been days, finally she fell ill last
night and she still has a high fever."
Zoe's tone was not like that day, but it was with pity.
Although Wendy refused to say anything, she was sure that they must have broken up, otherwise
Wendy would not be so painful and make herself sick.
"Brian, we are in the hospital..."
Zoe continued to talk, but was interrupted by Brian.
"Zoe, Wendy and I have broken up. No matter where she is now, it's not convenient for me to see her.
Take care of her."
Brian was still angry about Wendy's behavior until now, although he felt sorry Wendy was sick, he still
felt angry.
"Break up? Why did you break up? Did I go too far that day?"
Zoe was surprised, though she had guessed the result.
"It has nothing to do with you. You can ask Wendy why."
"I still have work to do, I gotta go."
Brian hung up the phone as his voice fell, but he was a bit worried.
He put aside the thought of Wendy and began to work.
At noon, he wanted to have lunch with Winnie, so he called her to the office ahead of time.
"What would you like for lunch today?"
Brian asked Winnie while reading the last document.
