Winnie apologized angrily, but after that, she walked around Brian and headed for the bus stop.
“Winwin, can't you listen to me?”
Brian once again held Winnie. Listening to Winnie's words, he felt that he was too selfish, only thinking
of his own thoughts and ignoring Winnie's pain.
“Explain what? What to explain? Brian, You are a wise man, but don't take me as a fool. You know your
own abilities, even if the whole restaurant is shooting videos, you'll still be able to silence the gossip.
So your explanation is no excuse at all.”
“You and I have heard that Stefan asked her come over to apologize, but did she apologize to me?”
Winnie questioned Brian with uncontrollable emotion and Brian was speechless.
“Winwin, she apologized to you the day in the hospital, before I...”
Brian tried to save the situation, but found himself in a complete mess.
“Is that an apology? Didn't you hear their record in your office? That was because they were afraid I'll
make a scene and tell you the fact, so they had to apologize to me. That's not an apology. That's
scheming. That's framing me.”
“Wendy owes me an apology. She hurt me more than this time. I think you know it better than anyone
else.”
Winnie gritted teeth angrily. No matter what, she would not believe Brian's explanation and did not
expect that Brian thought that apology was true repentance.
It seemed that she was not that important in Brian's heart as he said.
“I'm not qualified to interfere in your relationship, but please think about who you care about, and let go
if as soon as possible. Don't play with others' feelings.”
Winnie said with heartache, directly shook off Brian's hand and left quickly.
Brian looked at Winnie's back with regret.
It was indeed he did not handle the matter well. He felt sorry for Wendy not because he still had feeling
to Wendy, but was afraid Wendy was that woman who saved his life.
If one day he recovered his memory and found Wendy was really the one who saved him, he might
regret his cruel treatment of his rescuer.
Winnie got on the bus, and Brian was worried and kept driving behind.
Winnie did not go home, did not go to Daenerys' home, but came to the seaside.
She sat down somewhere, looking out at the vast ocean, feeling the cool breeze, and her anger was
relieved.
She wished that her heart was as wide as the sea and could tolerate any degree of dissatisfaction and
grievance. It was a pity that she was an ordinary woman, unable to accept the man she loved was half-
hearted. She was unable to control her emotions, to avoid sadness, heartache and to swallow all the
bitter feelings.
Winnie thought she still did not know how many secrets Brian had, but she was sure that Brian did not
love her, at best he just liked her.
There was a big difference between liking someone and loving someone. Liking a person was a
sudden whim, the freshness would always go. And loving a person was a lifetime. Even if they could
not be together, he would protect her life.
Clearly, Brian's behavior did not fit the second kind.
Since he did not love her, since she had no hope on this man, why did he expect her to do something
and get angry with her?
Winnie told herself that it was not Brian who was wrong, because he had his own ideas.
Wendy was not wrong either. Wendy still loved Brian, and there was nothing wrong to strive for her
love.
It was she was wrong. She had put herself in the wrong place, had wished for things she should not
have wished, had covet a man she should not have covet.
Yes, it was her fault. Stop asking others to pay for her fault. Don't lose temper because others don't
care.
In this world, except parents, no one had the obligation to be good to her, no one would pay for her
unconditionally.
Winnie looked at the boundless sea, although she was not in a good mood, it was not so painful.
Because it was her fault.
She sat in the seaside for a long time, until the sea breeze stopped, the sun went home, the road lights
lit up, the sea felt asleep.
It was time for her to go home, to continue her miserable life, to continue to control her heart, and not to
contend with anyone who did not care about her.
Winnie still took the bus. Instead of going home directly, she came to the company and took the car
before driving home.
Brian had been quietly following behind her without bothering her, until she took the elevator to go
home, Brian was relieved.
Today their relationship was somewhat relaxed, but because of the appearance of Wendy, it cooled
down.
No, he could not blame Wendy. It was his failure to deal with the relationship. He could not blame
Winnie, every word she said was reasonable, making him speechless and could not explain.
The next day, Brian came to work early, thinking when Winnie had calmed down, he would apologize to
her. However, Winnie did not come to work after he had been waiting for quite a long time.
Brian could not help but ask the secretary, only to know that Winnie did not come to work because of
physical discomfort.
Brian quickly called Winnie.
Winnie might have been blown by the sea breeze for a long time. She began to have a fever at
midnight last night and came to the hospital at midnight. Now she was receiving intravenous infusion in
the hospital.
“Auntie, I am fine, you go home first.”
Winnie's fever had subsided and she wanted to go to work after the infusion.
“Don’t mind me, the two children have been sent to the school by Vanessa, and I have nothing to do at
home. You feel at ease with the infusion.”
Her aunt was worried. She was to babble but because Winnie looked bad on face, so she said nothing.
“You came here with me in the middle of the night. You didn't sleep. Go home and catch up on your
sleep. When I finish, I go to work.”
Winnie did not say with her aunt what happened yesterday, afraid her aunt would be worried, plus she
thought there was no need to say.
Brian did not take it seriously, why she bothered others?
“This is how you go to work? You dressed down, did not wash your face or have make-up. We go home
together.”
Isobel did not want Winnie to be alone, because she felt that Winnie was too lonely.
So many men like Winwin, especially Brian. When Winwin was sick, none of them showed up, which
seemed really sad.
“Oh, I forgot I came out in the middle of the night.”
No sooner had Winnie finished speaking than her mobile phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it
was Brian calling, and her heart became immediately fluttered.
She looked at her aunt and then answered.
The phone was connected. Before Winnie said a word, Brian asked eagerly.
“You don't feel well. Are you ill?”
“No, just a little dizzy. I'm better now. I'll go to work soon.”
Winnie played down her illness. Because no matter how bad she was, no one cared, which was
miserable.
“Don't come to work, just rest at home. Are you at home? I'll come and see you.”
Brian was still very worried. After all, he had not seen Winnie. He could not judge the severity of her
illness only by listening to her voice.
“Don't come. Aunt is at home. I'll go to the office.”
Winnie hung up and then put her phone on silent mode, so as not to influence her aunt if he called
again.
“Brian?”
Isobel asked.
“Yes.”
“Why didn't you tell her you are in the hospital?”
Isobel continued to ask.
“What's the use of telling him? It won't take the place of me in bed.”
Winnie answered simply, if possible, she did not want her aunt to know she was sick. She would be
concerned about her. Besides, Brian probably only cared about her on the surface, which was not from
his heart and it had no meaning.
“Winwin, you can’t think like that. Can you spend your whole life beside him wanting nothing? Is that
what you intend to do for the rest of your life?”
“Leave him. You can't waste your life with him.”
Isobel said. She did not want Winnie to have a similar life with her that only loved a man for a lifetime,
and happiness had been gone for this man.
“Aunt, I stay with him now for the sake of the children. I won't waste my whole life on him. I'll leave him
when the children grow older.”
“Aunt, don't worry about me. I'll lead my own life well.”
Winnie promised to her aunt again and again, but leaving Brian was really a painful thing.
She could not see through her own heart. Clearly she knew there was no position for her in Brian’s
heart, why she still loved him deeply? Why not pull out her own heart from the swamp?
Falling in love with someone was really like falling into a swamp. The more she struggled, the deeper
she fell, until her heart suffocated and died.
Winnie returned home after infusion in the hospital and simply cleaned herself up and put on makeup,
making her face look better. She ate a bowl of porridge cooked by her aunt before she went to work.
Before she put down her bag, Calvin came to her to study work.
She had been expecting Brian to come to the office, but he never did.
Brian was in his office with Wendy.
Wendy came over to apologize for what happened yesterday.
“I'm sorry about yesterday. Is Winwin angry? Shall I go and apologize to her.”
“She's out of the office now, so no need to apologize.”
Brian did not know that Winnie had come to work at the company.
“Brian, I will try to avoid these things in future. If we meet in a public place, I will not say hello to you,
otherwise Winwin will have wild thoughts again.”
Wendy seemed helpless as if she was bitter.
Such Wendy made Brian think of that Wendy he had met at the very beginning. No matter what she
did, she always did it carefully.
“It's none of your business.”
Brian said while watching the time, waiting for Winnie to come to work.
“But I still feel guilty. Brian, it is noon, let’s have dinner together and take it an apology.”
Wendy took the opportunity to fight for the time to be together with Brian.
“I have a midday date with a client and I can't go out. You don't have to apologize.”
Brian refused. If he had been so direct yesterday, Winnie would not have been sad.
