Brian didn’t forget the reason why he called Winnie, so he continued to talk to her.
“Winnie, my grandpa called me last night and asked me to come back early. I think that he wants to talk
to me about our kids. If he comes to you, you should follow his words and don’t annoy him. I’ll deal with
him after I come back.”
If Winnie hadn’t been drunk, he wouldn’t have to tell it to her until now.
Hearing Brian’s words, Winnie knew that he didn’t know that Felix had come to her. Therefore, she
chose not to tell him about it. She didn’t want Brian to feel worried about her.
“Okay, I will wait for you to come back.”
“I feel sick now and I want to have a rest. Remember to come back early. Bye.”
Then she hung up the phone.
After that, Winnie lost in her thought. Felix came to her without telling Brian. It was obvious that Felix
looked down on her and didn’t care about her feelings at all.
Felix would only pay attention to the interest of the Bennet family. She was an outsider, so he wouldn’t
care about her.
Was she doomed to live humbly in her life? Would she have to accept that Brian gets married to
another woman? Did she have to bear these things?
She should not blame fate. She could only blame herself for taking the wrong way and falling in love
with a person that she couldn’t marry to. Otherwise, she would feel pain at this time.
Winnie came home after work. Vanessa was not at home and the children were doing their homework
in the room.
Winnie came to the room of Isobel and talked to her.
She didn’t dare to tell others about her things. She was afraid that she would get them in trouble.
Winnie told Isobel about what Felix said to her before.
“Isobel, what do you think I should do?”
Isobel was angry. She knew that Felix would force Winnie to satisfy the request of the Bennet family.
“They are very selfish. They don’t consider your condition at all. Winnie, I have never agreed that you
fall in love with Brian. I don’t want you to be a mistress. You would be criticized by others in the rest of
your life if you became a mistress. Have a good talk with Brian. It is best to leave with your children.”
Isobel couldn’t accept Felix’s request either. If Winnie accepted it, she would be painful in he life. Isobel
didn’t want to see Winnie being painful. Besides, Winnie’s parents would accept that she chose to be a
mistress if they were alive.
“I have talked with Brian many times. He won’t allow me to leave with my children. Unless Felix forces
me to leave my children.”
Winnie was eager to leave. But it seemed impossible for her leave now. Felix had agreed that she
could stay with her children, so it would be less likely for Brian to let them leave.
“You can refuse Felix. He will be angry and separate you from your children. At that time. Brian will
agree that you take the children to leave.”
Although it was dangerous for Winnie, Isobel thought that it would be better for Winnie than being a
mistress.
“Felix wouldn’t let me get away if I left with my kids. He has threatened that he would let my friends off
and he will attack my company. Although it is a small company, I won't make any of my friends feel
better, and will attack my company. Although the company is small, many people will be implicated if
the company goes bankrupt because of me.”
Winnie had to consider to these people. She couldn’t take all of them to leave. It would be very easy for
Felix if he wanted to destroy her company.
“Does it mean that we have no choice but to accept Felix’s request?”
Isobel lost hope when she heard Winnie’s words. She realized that Felix was serious and he could
destroy them.
If Winnie left with her children, he would threaten her friends and force Winnie to come back.
“I’ll talk to Brian when he comes back. I want to know if he will agree with me to take the children away.
Or I won’t have to leave here, but I can’t stay with my children.”
Winnie could only come up with this way. Brian was her last hope.
Emily was lying alone in bed, playing with her phone absently. She was thinking of Leo. Now that
everything was settled, she ended the cooperation with Leo.
From now on, she had to forget and began to deal with her visa.
At this time, the door of her bedroom was pushed open.
Emily looked at the door and found it was Leo.
She got up quickly, looking a little surprised.
“Why didn’t you knock on the door?”
It was the first time for her to meet Leo after they had sex. She couldn’t help but think of what
happened between them that night. Emily felt nervous and didn’t know what to do.
“If I knocked on the door, you would ask who was knocking the door. You wouldn’t let me in if you knew
it was me, so I had to enter the room impolitely.”
As he spoke, he sat beside Emily.
“Let’s have a good talk.”
Leo was gentle and sincere. He loved Emily deeply.
“I want to talk to you.”
“Winnie has known our affairs. We have talked about it. This thing has been settled. And I can’t help
anymore. Now we have ended our cooperation, so don’t come to me again.”
Emily thought that they should end everything between Leo and her. After everything was settled, they
wouldn’t be friends and only be strangers.
But Leo didn’t think so. What he thought was totally different from Emily.
“Since you have talked with Winnie, you should have known that I don’t like Winnie anymore. You are
the one I love. From now on, I want to pursue you and make you be my girlfriend again.”
Leo said in a gentle voice. He was very firm.
Everything was settled and he expressed his love to Emily. Then he would pursue Emily.
“No. I don’t like you. Don’t waste your time.”
Emily refused him directly. It seemed that she was used to not believing Leo and refusing him.
“I’m not wasting my time. If you don’t give me a chance, I’ll tell your parents that we have slept and I’ll
take the responsibility to marry you.”
Leo could only choose to do so. Otherwise, Emily wouldn’t stay away from him.
After that, Leo stood up and walked to the door. At this time, Emily got up and grabbed him. Said
“Are you crazy? How can you tell my parents? Even if I had sex with you, it doesn’t mean that I must
marry you.”
Emily said angrily and hurriedly. She was really afraid that her parents would know it.
She was brought up strictly. Her parents were very conservative. If they knew that she had sex with
him, she would have to marry Leo.
“Well, I want to ask your parents to see if they agreed with me to marry you.”
Leo said these words deliberately. Emily couldn’t stop him, so he continued to walk out.
“You can’t go.”
Leo was tall and strong, so Emily couldn’t control him and could only block the door.
“Why?”
Leo raised his eyebrow and asked her. He felt a little sorry when he saw her tension.
“Because... Because I’m shy. It is a secret between you and me.”
Emily couldn’t find an excuse and didn’t dare to let her parent know it. She could only put him off that
she was shy.
“I think that you are afraid that your parents will know we have sex, right?”
Leo ignored Emily’s excuse and directly pointed out the truth.
“I... I’m not afraid.”
Emily was getting nervous. She couldn’t calm down herself. At this time, Leo stretched out his hands
and held Emily in his arms. Then he opened the door.
“What are you doing? Let me go. My parents will find us.”
Emily was in a panic. But the door was open. She did not dare to shout at him. She could only say to
him in a low voice. But her argument was weak.
“I just want them to know our relationship.”
Leo held her shoulder and walked downstairs. Her parents were sitting on the sofa in the living room.
They had already seen them coming down together. Emily did not dare to retort, but struggled in his
arms.
However, Leo had great strength, and she couldn’t resist it at all.
“What are you doing?”
Emily’s mother looked at them holding each other. She thought that they had been reconciled, so she
felt happy.
“Mrs. Jones…”
“Mom, we’re going to visit a friend.”
Before Leo could speak, Emily spoke to her mother instantly.
After that, she grabbed Leo’s hand and left directly. She didn’t want him to say anything to her mother
at this time.
Leo smiled and didn’t choose to embarrass her.
When they went out of the house, Emily released his hand. But then Leo held her hand again.
“Since we have come out, you have to follow me. Or we’ll go back to talk to your mother.”
“You...”
Emily was angry. She didn’t expect that Leo would be so knavish. She didn’t want to follow him but she
was afraid that Leo would tell her parents that they had slept. Therefore, she had no choice but to let
Leo hold her hand and left.
Leo came to his car, opened the door of the passenger seat. Then he forced her to get in the car.
He knew that Emily didn’t like to sit in the passenger seat. But from now on, as long as he drove
himself, this seat would only be hers.
“Where are you going? I…”
Leo fastened his seat belt when Emily spoke to him. Before she finished her words, she found that the
pendant sent by Winnie had been changed. It was replaced by the one Emily sent to him before.
Emily was moved when she saw it. But she was not sure if Leo did it out of his heart.
She instantly looked out of the window. She was still afraid that Leo would hurt her again.
“I’m wearing pajamas now, so I can’t go anywhere. Let me go home. We can talk about our relationship
later.”
Emily was not angry. She had calmed herself down. She spoke to him in a very low voice.
“If I let you go home, you won’t let me meet you again. I just want to make everything clear today.”
Leo also calmed down. He insisted on talking to her.
“Leo, we just had sex once. If I knew that you would take it as a burden, I wouldn’t have slept with you.”
Emily was so afraid that she didn’t dare to face his love. She just thought the reason why Leo pursued
her was that she had sex with him before.
“It has nothing to do with the sex. I just love you. Emily, you can’t think it in this way. Otherwise, you
won’t take seriously with my love for you.”
Leo explained that he didn’t regard their sex as a burden, but he felt happy for it.
“I’m wearing pajamas now, so | can’t go anywhere. Let me go home. We can talk about our relationship
later.”
Emily was not angry. She had calmed herself down. She spoke to him in a very low voice.
“If | let you go home, you won't let me meet you again. | just want to make everything clear today.”
Leo also calmed down. He insisted on talking to her.
“Leo, we just had sex once. If | Knew that you would take it as a burden, | wouldn't have slept with you.’
Emily was so afraid that she didn't dare to face his love. She just thought the reason why Leo pursued
her was that she had sex with him before.
“It has nothing to do with the sex. | just love you. Emily, you can’t think it in this way. Otherwise, you
won't take seriously with my love for you.”
Leo explained that he didn’t regard their sex as a burden, but he felt happy for it.
