Rufus said in a deep and steadfast voice, but Isobel did not feel it but shocked.
“Why is it so sudden? Winwin did not tell me.”
“It was Brain’s meaning and it is good for Megan. The reason is complex, but please believe it is the
best for Megan. My father recognizes her and no one would dare do anything to her.”
Then he continued.
“Winnie did not tell you because she was afraid that you would be worried and get back early. She said
she would explain to you when you are back.”
Rufus told her thoroughly, because his family was complicated and it needed time to explain in details,
and Isobel would feel incredible and could not understand.
“Since then, why did you tell me? Can’t you tell me when I am back? Not how can I stay here?”
Isobel felt uneasy. She did know what would change to Winnie and if she got hurt.
She asked.
“How is Winnie, can she be with two children now?”
She asked with concern and Rufus felt bad too.
“Winwin doesn’t know I call you, I want you to be prepared. If you can stay there, come back, one day
you have to face it.
Rufus called because he missed Isobel and wanted her to go back early, so that he could see her.
At the beginning, he told himself to control his emotion and not cause unnecessary trouble to Isobel,
but he felt he could not do that.
He then continued.
“Winwin can’t be with the children for the time being, and the children are in my father’s, but you don’t
have to worry. Stella is there to take care of the children and they will be back in a few days.”
“I knew it. The children are important to Winwin. If she could not see them, how can she live? Rufus,
you promised me that Winnie and the children will not separate, but now…”
Isobel was emotional. She now missed the children, and how could Winnie accept it?
Rufus knew Isobel was worried, so he comforted her.
“Don’t worry, it is not that bad. It was temporary that Winnie could see the children. What I promised
you will be fulfilled. I will not let you down like I did when we were young.”
Rufus mentioned those years, but there was silence on the phone.
“I mean, you don’t have to worry, I will help Winwin. My father needs time to accept the fact and figure
out how to deal with it.”
“He likes both children and he doesn’t dislike Winwin, so I want to give him some time, so that he can
come up what to do.”
Rufus continued after taking a breath.
“Don’t worry, Isobel. I have never given you sense of security since I knew you, but I can assure you
that I will let Winwin live with the children.
Rufus had the confidence and he would work hard on it. Now he just wanted Isobel not to worry about
it.
What he said to his father was kind of threat. If there was nothing he could do, he would let Brian leave
with Winnie and he could deal with it.
“…”
Isobel was silent. He was right that he had not given her any sense of security and she was not sure if
he could keep his words.
“Take care of it, if the children can’t go back to Winwin, it is pointless I go back, so I will be back when
the children were back.”
Isobel chose to believe Rufus, she hoped that he would not let her down again.
With that, she was to hung up, but Rufus stopped her.
“Isobel, have you had a decision on what I asked you last time?”
Rufus tried to drag the time, because hearing Isobel’s voice, he felt at ease and had make up for his
loneliness of years.
What Isobel said made him worried that the children can’t be back to Winnie and Isobel would not
come back but disappeared in his life.
At this, he would help the children back to Winnie.
“No, I don’t know what to do.”
Isobel answered, but she had her own thought.
Even Felix did not give back the children to Winwin, he would not stop them to see her.
So the children stayed in the Bennet family and did not need her to take care of them. She could let
Winnie take care of Vanessa and then continued her medical aids.
If she stayed away from the Bennet family, Brian and Stella would not know she was Winnie’s aunt and
they would be safe.
So everything had hope and there would be sunshine one day.
“Then think of it, but I hope you can think for the children. Wendy and Brian have broken up, so Brian is
single, I want he to be with Winnie.”
Rufus did not want to give up, because he wanted to fix everything and wanted a peaceful life, and the
children have a good ending.
Isobel was surprised to hear that, but Wendy was not the obstacle between Winnie and Brian, but the
gap between the two families and the resentment.
It was impossible to be perfect.
“I will think about it. But first let the children back. I gotta go.”
Finally, she hung up.
Winnie and Brain lied in bed, looking at the children on the phone screen.
“Did you take a bath?”
Winnie asked with a smile.
“Don’t worry, Mommy, I have taken bath.”
Megan was excited. She can’t be with Daddy and Mommy, but it was interesting to live like this. She
now was a Bennet, she was so proud.
“Good, finish your homework at time, especially Megan.”
Winnie said.
“I know, Mommy.”
Megan said reluctantly, but she would not go against her mother.
“Don’t worry, Mommy, I will take care of sister and tell her to finish homework. Mommy, when can we go
home, I want to be with you.”
Luke said. He did not feel at ease without Mommy around, he had bad memory before and was afraid
to lose his Mommy.
“Don’t worry, Luke, Daddy, Grandpa and Aunt are working hard on it. You too, so that we can be
Mommy early.”
Brian said. He was clam on face, but he felt sorry for the kids.
“You too, Daddy. We are pleasing Great Grandpa according to aunt, I believe he will agree us to be
together. Don’t worry, Mommy, just go to work and wait us to go back.”
Luke did not feel good, but he still confirmed his parents, which made Winnie guilty.
“Ok, I will listen to you. I will go to work and wait for you to come back.”
Winnie gave a nice smile, so that the children would not worry about her.
“Megan, what is Great Grandpa’s attitude to you?”
Brian asked, because his attitude to Megan as the key point.
“It is good, he likes me. No matter what I said, he always smiled and always hugged me, but he is too
old to hold me.”
Megan said with a smile and she was happy.
“Don’t worry, Daddy, Mommy, I will try hard to make Great Grandpa agree us to be together. I am
confident.”
“Ok, I believe you can make it, but don’t anger him.”
Brian reminded Megan, because he knew if his grandpa was angry, it would be difficult to deal with it.
“Ok, Daddy.”
Luke said with confidence.
“It is late, you go to sleep. We will wait for your good news.”
“Bye, Daddy, Mommy.”
“Bye.”
As the children’s lovely faces disappeared in the phone, Brian put down the phone and then turned of
the light.
“The children are working hard on it and you should insist. We have hope. As long as Grandpa cares
about the feeling of the children, we can make it and we can be together.”
“Winwin, please fight for it, give me your heart and I will cherish it for a lifetime.”
Brian seemed to see the success, and he would work hard with the children.
He thought he was alone to fight with Grandpa, but now his family was with him, so that he had more
confidence.
“It is too sudden, I feel it unreal.”
Winnie avoided the topic. She did not have too much hope and did not want to be disappointed.
“Why is it unreal? We live real, Winwin. We have been through a lot and it should be over now. I feel
our torture will come to an end and we will have a good life.”
