Seeing that Thomas denied, Rufus raised his voice.
“You look gloomy face on face, do think thin the kids can’t see it? They did not provoke you, right? This
family doesn’t long belong to you, it belongs the kids too and they have right to live here. Even if they
stay here for a lifetime, no one could stop them.”
Rufus was silent for years and did not even mention that Brian was hurt. Thomas thought he was easy
to be bullied and even bad to the kids,
But now he would not endure it anymore.
“Brother, I …”
Thomas wanted to explain and did not want to argue with Rufus, because it was not the time. He was
alone and not powerful, so he had to get along well with Rufus.
As he was to speak, Rufus had walked out with two kids, followed by Stella.
“Stella, are you going back too?”
He tried to ask Stella to stay.
“I have to take care of the kids. Uncle Thomas, please tell Grandpa I am going back.”
With that, she caught up with her father’s steps. She believedthat her Grandpa could hear her.
Seeing then left, Thomas got a gloomy face.
There were many smart people around Rufus, but he was alone and his son was weak. Therefore, he
could not win but had to wait for a good chance.
If he got chance, he would look down upon others.
Felix was sad that Rufus took the children away.
Standing by the window, he had missed feeling as if he got dumped. He felt that the Bennet Group
could not control Rufus and Brian.
Did he have to insist. What was the result if he insisted? Did he have to give the Bennet Group to
Thomas?
Rufus made a call to Winnie and then took the kids to her.
Winnie was excited. She had not seen the kids for days, but she felt it was long as a century. Holding
kids in arms, she felt unreal.
After that, she remembered there were visitors.
“Rufus, Stella, sit down.”
Stella and Rufus sad down on sofa.
It was the first time for Stella came here, but nor for Rufus.
Stella felt strange, but Rufus felt at ease.
“Winwin, is this house big enough, if not, change one.”
Stella looked around. The house was clean and tidy, but it was too small for five people to live.
“Yes, there are five rooms, they are not big, but comfortable. It is near to Vanessa’s school, so she
could save time to go to school.”
Winnie did not have intention to change the house and wanted to leave it to Vanessa.
“Good.”
Stella felt relieved.
“It is good. It is not big, but warm, and as a feeling of home.”
Rufus felt the size of the house was not important, but who lived in it.
“Rufus, I will take a cup of tea to you, please wait.”
“No need, Winwin, sit down and let’s chat.”
Rufus stopped Winnie.
He wanted to talk about her family.
“Sit down.”
Stella took Winnie hand and let her sit next to her. The two kids were upstairs and did not disturb them.
“Winwin, Brian’s grandpa still refuses, but don’t worry, I will make you together.”
Rufus knew Winnie must be worried these days, but she asked nothing and did not urge anyone and
endured it herself.
So he came to conform her.
“Rufus, thank you. I don’t ask too much and I know Chairman has high standard for Brian’s wife, so you
don’t have to do anything about it. Please just get me back to kids.”
Winnie said, till now, she dare not have expectation for Brian.
“Don’t you want to be with Brian?”
Rufus asked in surprise.
“I dare not have that thought. I don’t fit the standard of Chairman and I don’t want it hard for Brian to
deal with it. And I don’t want to make the Bennet family unpeaceful because of me.”
Winnie dare not have expectation on it. If she has a family background as Emily, she would go after
Brian regardless of anything.
But it was unreal.
“Winwin, you can’t have that thought. Don’t think for others. If you love him, just fight for it. If you
always think for others, how can you be happy?”
Hearing what Winnie said, Stella was worried and had to encourage her.
Winnie said nothing, because she had no confidence.
Rufus took a sigh, looking at Winnie was not scheming at all.
If the Chambers family had not affected because of him, Winnie would not have such worry and his
father would not oppose.
It was all because of him and he wanted to do something.
“Winwin, what if Grandpa agrees you to be together?”
Rufus asked Winnie and wanted to make sure her feeling to Brian.
Winnie thought silently. At this moment, she thought of Wendy and woman in the picture.
She did not know who the woman was and did not know what happened between them, and she even
did not know if she was alive or not, but she had affected Winnie’s decision.
After a moment, she gave her answer.
“If Chairman accepts me, Brian loves me and he has no other women, I am willing to be with him.”
Winnie said a few of ifs, which were the obstacles stopped them from being together, because she was
not sure if Brian loved her for real.
She did not know if the woman in the picture or Wendy came back to Brain. Without this, she could
stay with Brian and gave the kids a complete home.
Rufus saw Winnie’s worry, but he said nothing.
“Since you are willing to be with him, don’t think too much, I will help you.”
With that, he got up.
“The kids will stay here tonight. I will ask Paul to pick them up tomorrow. Don’t let them go to the old
house, so that you can see them at any time.”
“Let’s go, Stella.”
After that, he left with Stella.
In the car.
“Dad, have you noticed Winnie’s hesitation?”
“Yes, I am thinking why.”
Rufus did not expect Stella notice it too.
“I think she is not confident to Brian. There may be something we don’t know.”
Stella said, but she did not know what it was.
“Does Brian have another woman and Winwin knows it, or why doesn’t she trust him?”
Rufus felt the problem lied in Brain instead of Winnie.
“I have never heard of it. I know everything about Brian and he has nothing to hide from me.”
Stella thought about it, but Brian did not have another woman.
“He did not tell you all. Ask Doctor Burns one day, maybe he has the answer.”
Rufus said and wanted to know more about it.
As his voice fell, Paul who was driving received a call.
“What is the result?”
“…”
“Ok, I know.”
“…”
“Go ahead.”
After that, Paul hung up the phone.
Stella and Rufus continued to speak.
“Dad, I left with you. Will Grandpa be unhappy?”
Stella asked with worry.
“He may be, but we can’t always satisfy him. He should think of it and feel the loneness, so that he
could know the importance of family.”
Rufus knew Felix would be angry, but he had to do it and prove that they would not always be obedient
to him.
“I am worried about him.”
Stella was worried, but she hoped it would work, so that the children could be with Winnie. She was not
contradictory.
“I am worried too, but it is better to argue with him in face.”
He was in his 90s and it was not easy for him to change. And Rufus could only give him pressure.
Rufus sent Stella to her mother-in-law’s home and then went back to suburbs with Paul.
“Rufus, the call was related to Vanessa.”
Paul broke the silence in the car.
“What is it?”
Rufus was nervous.
“I have not found where she was born, but the mother was not Dominik Chambers’ wife. She had not
examination record and birth record in the hospital. I asked her colleagues and the don’t know that she
was pregnant.”
Paul reported.
“Did Isobel give birth to her?”
Rufus asked.
“I have not found it out, because Isobel’s whereabout was not known, and it is uneasy to investigate,
but I think it was she give birth to Vanessa.”
Paul said. The Chamber would not accept a child from nowhere and Vanessa’s birthday matched to the
day Isobel was pregnant.
And Vanessa looked alike Stella, that was, she looked alike Rufus.
“You mean Vanessa is my daughter?”
It was an exciting news and Rufus could not control his heartbeat.
“It is likely, but I did not get the truth, so I am not sure about it.”
“Rufus, there is a simple and direct way. Get an DNA sample and you will
know.”
