Although Winnie was not angry, she did feel uncomfortable. She rarely intervened in Brian, but she
needed to tell him what she should say.
She told herself that seeing was not believing. She couldn’t let herself trust the wrong person and didn’t
realize it until she left. It’s better for her to be cautious.
“Well, everything is clear now. Don’t care about anything. I’m going to drive. Calvin just called to ask
me to come back. Bye, have a good trip.”
Winnie hung up the phone directly. And the two people behind her began to blame her again.
“Are you crazy? Why did you explain to him? You didn’t cheat on him. We didn’t stalk him. You don’t
have to explain anything to him.”
Even Wendy couldn’t annoy Daenerys before, but Daenerys was angry with Winnie now.
“He will feel uncomfortable after I explained to him. He will think about it later.”
Hearing what Winnie said, Daenerys became silent.
It was true that Brian would feel uncomfortable after Winnie explained it to him. However, they had
quarreled with each other many times. It would hurt their relationship.
Brain put down his phone. He did feel uncomfortable when he heard Winnie’s words. Winnie said that
she was not angry, but he felt ashamed than being accused by her.
He did something wrong. But he just wanted to talk about the car accident with Wendy and see if he
could think of anything.
He didn’t expect that Winnie would meet them. He was caught unprepared even if he had been very
careful and cautious.
Brian received a call from his grandfather on the night when he was on his business trip. Knowing that
he was on a business trip, Felix only told him to come back to the Johnson’s villa when he finished his
business trip.
Brian felt uneasy when he heard it. He thought that what Felix wanted to say was about the kids and
Winnie.
Thinking of this, he called Winnie again.
“Hello, did you get off the plane?”
Winnie’s voice was slurred on the phone.
“Have you drunk?”
Brian recognized what Winnie was doing at this time.
“Yes. I… I’m drinking with Daenerys and Emily. It’s only the three of us.”
“Well, I… I want to explain to Emily that I have nothing to do with Leo. And she believes my
explanation. Do you believe me or not?”
Winnie was drunk. She was not coherent and her words were disorganized, which made Brian be
worried about her.
“I trust you. Don’t drink. You are girls. What if all of you get drunk? I’ll ask Calvin to pick you up.”
Brian sighed worriedly.
“No, Leo will come here. But I want to tell you that Leo comes to pick up Emily. It has nothing to do with
me. I’ll call Oscar. He is my knight all my life.”
After Winnie finished her words, she hung up the phone in a daze. Then she called Oscar.
Brian was even more worried. He called Winnie again, but the phone couldn’t be connected. He found
that he couldn’t let Winnie drink without his company. Otherwise, he would be worried about her when
she got drunk.
Finally, Brian called Kevin. Knowing that Kevin would take care of Winnie, Brian felt relieved.
Only then did he realize that he had not told Winnie the most important thing.
Brian planned to call Winnie the next morning. However, before he woke up in the morning, he was
woken up by a call and then began to work.
When Winnie woke up the next morning, she felt pain in her head. But she kept working until noon.
Then she went to take a rest.
As soon as she was lying in the lounge, the phone rang next to her. When she found it was Felix, she
felt very nervous.
“Mr. Bennet, is something matter?”
“Come to my office now.”
Felix ordered and then hung up.
Winnie had a headache. She felt more uncomfortable now. But she had no choice but to go to Felix’s
office.
It was the first time for her to go to his office. As an employee and a member of a team, she came here
not for the work. She felt it ridiculous.
Winnie didn’t look around the office. She just focused on what Felix was going to say to her.
Felix sat in the office chair. He was not as serious and sharp as she thought before.
He spoke to her in a low voice.
“The reason why I asked you to come here is that I want to talk to you about the kids. For the sake of
the two kids, you can raise them. But you have to promise me one thing.”
Winnie didn’t expect that Felix would agree that she could raise the kid. But she knew that Felix must
have a request.
“If I can do it, I will promise you.”
Winnie was not sure whether she could meet Felix’s request, so she could only blur her words.
“If did it only for your children and don’t have other purposes, you can meet my request. I have told you
last time. Now it is a different condition for you. You’ll accept my request this time.”
Felix didn’t give Winnie the chance to refuse.
Then he continued to say, “You can live with Brian and raise the kid as their mother in the suburbs. But
you can’t interfere with Brian’s marriage. Before he got married, you can bring your children to the
Johnson’s Villa. After he gets married, you can’t go to it anymore. You are not allowed to destroy his
marriage.”
Felix told Winnie about his request. He didn’t think it was very demanding for Winnie.
Winnie listened to his words patiently out of politeness.
What Felix meant was that she could live with her children and have to be a mistress of Brian. If she
didn’t accept his request, she would be supposed to have ulterior motives for Brian and didn’t care
about her children.
However, Winnie could accept to be Brian’s mistress. Otherwise, she had already become his lover.
“Mr. Bennet, you did have told me about this, and I refused at that time. I still can’t accept it this time.
Sorry.”
Winnie answered calmly.
Brian had promised to her that no matter what happened, he wouldn’t let her leave his children. With
his support, Winnie didn’t fear anything.
“I’ve underestimated you. You are not satisfied to be Brian’s mistress. But you want to be his wife.”
Felix didn’t expect Winnie to be so stubborn. Even if he gave her the custody of the children, she
refused his request. Did she have moral integrity? Or was she more ambitious than he thought before?
“Mr. Bennet, when a woman falls in love with someone, she must want to live with her love forever. It
would be a lie if she said that she didn’t want to marry him. I have never said that I want to be with
Brian. It was not because I don’t love him, but I know it is impossible for me to marry him. I want him,
not for his wealth and social status. I know I can’t be with him.”
Winnie emphasized her love for Brian. She didn’t have any ulterior motive for him. She had told Felix
everything. It was the choice for Felix to believe it or not.
“I know I can’t meet your standards for Brian’s wife. I have no personal ambition. I won’t accept to be
his mistress.”
“I know that you wanted the kids to have a warm family in their childhood. But it’s too difficult for me. I
can stand Brian getting to another woman and I can only be his mistress all my life.”
“I can pour all my love to my children and take good care of them. And I can break up with Brian. What
I can do is to give all my love to take good care of my two children. What I can do is to We will be
friends and take care of our children as their parents.”
“Mr. Bennet, I hope you can understand my mind and allow me to stay with my kids. I like Brian, but I
won’t be with him out of my selfishness. I only want to stay with my children.”
Winnie showed her attitude to Felix. Although she had so many words that Felix could feel impatient,
she had to clarify that she didn’t have ulterior motives for Brian.
Felix listened to Winnie carefully. If what she said was true, she did have a backbone. However, she
couldn’t meet his request. It did no good to the Bennet family. And they would lose the two children if
he agreed to her request. Felix wouldn’t allow it to happen.
“If you can’t meet my request, you can’t ask me to do anything and you won’t be able to see your kids
in your life. Brian is on his business trip these days. You can think about my request. You have to give
me your answer when he comes back. If you still refuse my request at that time, I’ll send my men to
pick up the kids. You can either leave by yourself or be sent out. If you let Brian help you, I’ll teach you
a lesson.”
“Get out.”
After that, Felix asked her to leave.
Winnie panicked, but had to leave the office.
She had thought that Felix would talk to her. But she didn’t expect him to threaten her friends and even
her company. If she didn’t accept his request, he would do harm to her and her friends.
Winnie felt helpless. She didn’t expect Felix to so ruthless. Brian didn’t find that Felix was domineering.
She didn’t know what to do. If she accepted his request, she would be an illegal mistress in her life.
Otherwise, she would never see her children.
It was so difficult for her to make a decision.
After Winnie returned to the office, she received a call from Brian.
“How are you? Do you feel pain in your head after getting drunk?”
Brian was worried about her.
“Well, I feel much better now.”
Winnie didn’t tell him what Felix said to her for the time being.
“You can’t drink without my company in the future. Otherwise, nobody could take care of you when you
get drunk.”
Brian advised her. He was very worried about her last night.
“Emily came back and I explained everything to her. I was happy, so I got drunk last night. I won’t drink
much wine in the future. It was really uncomfortable after getting drunk.”
Winnie was absentminded. She felt relieved after clarifying everything to Emily. However, now Felix
came to her and forced her to make a decision about her kids. She was very bothered.
At this time, she needed Brian to comfort her and give her advice. But he was not with her. She could
only bear it herself.
“It’s right. No matter how happy you are, you can’t drink too much.”
Brian was finally relieved when he heard Winnie’s words.
