Actually, Jonny had been in contact with Wendy. He came to ask her phone number was just a way for
him to see Winnie. Fortunately, Winnie came out and he got more opportunity to talk to her.
Winnie took a look, pulled out her mobile phone and compared Wendy’ number with it.
"That's I know. I don't know her other numbers."
"Mr. Jonny, I am sorry I can't help you. You'd better ask someone else. I gotta go now."
Winnie said, took a look at Jonny politely and then walked away holding the hand of Megan.
"Mom, I don’t like this foreigner."
Winnie took Megan's hand and walked forward. After making sure that they could not be heard from
the back, Megan said.
"I don’t like him, either."
Winnie echoed, thinking of Brian's words. Although she didn't like him, she didn't find Jonny as
annoying as Brian said. He still had the most basic courtesy.
"Mom, where are we going? Are we going to walk like this?"
Megan continued to ask, as if dissatisfied with the walk.
"Let me think... How about I take you to meet a foreign uncle?"
"Ok, as long as he doesn't annoy me."
As long as they did not need to loiter on the street, and it would be better there was somewhere to play.
Megan thought so, but she did not know whether her mother would see through her heart.
"Wait a minute, I will call him and make sure he is available before we go."
Then Winnie called Fred.
"Where are you?"
She spoke over the phone.
"I am in the school. What about you, at the hotel?"
Fred asked Winnie in a relaxed tone.
"I'm at the hotel, but I'm bored. I want to take my daughter to meet you."
"Ok, I'll have my class off when you get here. We can have lunch together. My office is our tutor's office,
you know it."
Fred was now a professor at Winnie’s School, so Winnie knew where he was.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
"See you later, bye!”
Winnie hung up the phone and then called the hotel manager and asked him to get a car for her.
"Megan, we will wait here for a while. When the car comes, I will take you to my school."
"Foreign uncle said he would invite us to dinner, you can tell him what you want to eat."
Winnie squatted down and helped Megan arrange clothes while speaking gently.
"Well, I see. But Mom, do I talk to him in foreign language or in our language?"
Megan asked curiously and wanted to know if that foreign uncle could speak in her language.
"It's better to communicate in foreign language. Uncle has only a smattering of our language, and it will
be difficult to chat."
The topic reminded Winnie of Fred's awkwardness when he was learning her language with them.
Winnie couldn't help laughing when she remembered that time.
"Well, my foreign language..."
Megan was about to show off how good her foreign language was, but a car pulled up by the side of
the road and the window fell down.
"Where are you going to, Miss Chambers? I can take you there."
Jonny's voice came out of the car, and he got off and walked up to Winnie.
"We meet again."
Winnie greeted him gently.
"Yes, again. It is kind of a destiny."
Jonny seemed to be approachable.
"Where are you going? I'll take you there."
"I have a lunch date with a friend, and the hotel car will take us there, so you don’t need to send us
there."
Winnie refused politely.
They were not familiar with each other and they were kind of strangers. She did not want to bother him
and was not like to trust him easily. Having been in the police station once, she should be more careful.
"It is ok, I am familiar with this place, I can send you there."
Jonny insisted. It was a good chance and he didn't want to miss it.
"No, my car will be here soon. Mr. Jonny, it's not good to park the car here. You'd better drive away.
Thank you for your kindness."
Winnie once again refused politely. She was alert, which made Jonny feel helpless.
"Well, then, I'll go first. Miss Chambers, if you need help, please feel free to contact me at any time. I'm
sure I can help."
“Goodbye!”
Jonny then got in the car and left.
He felt Winnie's caution. Maybe it was related to the matter of the police stain, maybe she was a
cautious person. Such person was very alert to things and people, especially in relationship.
She was a rigorous woman who loved herself, plus time was limited. It was hard to make her have
feeling to him.
It was the hotel manager sent Winnie to the destination. With the last lesson, he did not dare to give
Winnie to the driver. His head would have been moved if there was an accident again.
After he sent Winnie and Megan to the school, he found a place to wait for Winnie, because the school
did not allow the car in. Winnie wanted to have a wall, so she did not ask the manager to drive in.
Holding the hand of Megan, Winnie walked in the campus. The feeling had been different, but she
could still remember she play in there.
"Mom, this school is so big."
Megan could not help but say.
"Yes, it is. It's a top university in the world."
Winnie unintentionally answered Megan, and her heart had been occupied by the memory.
"Mom, you are awesome. Many people aspire to study in a world-class university."
Megan said with admiration. She suddenly felt her mother was not ordinary.
"Megan, study hard, and one day you can study here."
She had taken great pains to come here to study, and if she had not considered Penny's situation, she
might have been more successful. However, she bit the hand that feeds her.
Now she thought it did not worth it, and she had done a stupid thing.
"Mom, do we need to walk far?"
"No. That is the uncle walking to us."
As Winnie spoke, she saw Fred coming out of the building and toward her.
But as Winnie was excited, Jonny once again appeared in front of Winnie.
"Miss Chambers, we just met, it's really fate."
"Oh."
Winnie was stunned for a moment, and then noticed that the person in front of her was Jonny.
"We meet again, what a coincidence."
Winnie's tone was not mild this time but serious compared with the meeting just now.
Meeting once was a chance encounter, but meeting three times in such a short time was annoying.
"I came here to a friend, I didn't expect you are here. If I know we come to the destination, you don’t
need to wait for your hotel car."
Jonny said gallantly, he was anxious about the present situation.
"Miss Chambers, since we met again, let's have lunch together. I've been bothering you twice. It's..."
"No, I've already had appointment with my friend for lunch. Thank you, Mr. Jonny."
"My friend is here, I have to greet him."
Winnie did not smile and her tone was not kind. After saying that, she walked directly to Fred with
Megan, not wanting to communicate with Jonny.
"Winnie!"
Fred called Winnie's name from a distance, feeling excited.
"Hi!"
Winnie said hello in a relaxed and cheerful tone, completely different from just now.
"Good heavens, this is the pretty little princess!”
When Fred walked quickly to Winnie and her daughter, his first reaction was to squat down and hug
Megan.
"Hello, uncle!”
Megan greeted Fred in foreign language with accurate pronunciation and fluent tone, which surprised
Fred.
"You are young, but you can speak foreign language so well, you seem to inherit you’re your mother's
intelligence."
Fred doted on Megan. It was the first time they met, but he liked this kid who was similar to Winnie.
"Thank you for your praise, Uncle. I still need to study hard."
Megan was modest and polite, which made Winnie very pleased.
“What a lovely girl!”
With that, Fred kissed Megan, and then stood up and gave Winnie a simple hug.
"Don’t have a son, why bring one? How about your husband? You should bring your husband too."
Fred asked.
"My husband is so busy with work that he can't spare any time. The other kid is preparing for
tomorrow's competition and can't spare any time. My daughter and I have nothing to do, so we have
come to disturb you."
It was the first time that Winnie said the word "husband" in front of others and the first time that she
admitted that Brian was her husband.
But what she said was inconsistent with the facts. She just didn't bother to explain it to Fred, so she
called him her husband directly.
"Oh, take a rain check. I must see two of your gentlemen sometime."
“By the way, who was that person you were talking to?”
Fred remembered the man he had seen.
"A friend of a friend, we met by coincidence. I don't know him well, we just said hello."
Winnie felt annoyed. They encountered too often. Even if they accidentally met, she felt it deliberate.
"Well, we won't ask him to join us since you are not familiar. I'll take you to my office for a tour, and then
we'll have lunch in the school cafeteria. There is anything you want to eat and it can remind you of the
school days."
Fred took Megan in his arms, and they walked together toward the school building.
What Winnie and Fred said was heard by Jonny. That Winnie said they were not familiar made him
uncomfortable.
He would find a way to get them know each other well. He would find a way to get this perfect woman.
It was very late when Brian came back from work. Two children were already asleep. Only Winnie was
still waiting for him in the living room.
"Why don't you sleep? Are you still worried about Vanessa?"
Brian asked Winnie in a low voice while taking off his coat.
"Stella is there with her, there is nothing for me to worry about. I'm waiting for you. I can't sleep until
you come back."
Winnie did not know when she began to rely on Brian. Without him lying beside her, she would not be
able to fall asleep and was always restless.
Brian took off his coat, threw it on the sofa, and then embraced Winnie.
"Well, I'm glad to hear that. Don't try to leave me, or you will have insomnia for the rest of your life. You
are my headache panacea, I am your sleeping pill. So we can't leave each other."
