Vanessa thought that she should call Felix Grandpa as Stella in the respect of the elders, but she forgot
that Felix did not even pay attention to her sister, and her sister did not call him grandpa, so it would be
too much if she called him Grandpa.
"Just call me Grandpa Felix."
Felix felt that the address of “Chairman” sounded uncomfortable. With that, he sat down on the sofa in
the living room.
He had seen Vanessa before. Because she looked alike Stella, there was a sense of intimacy. He had
a good impression of her, and he liked kids who worked hard and were willing to learn.
Vanessa was naughty as a child, but was sensible than her peers. That was why Felix did not dislike
her.
The more he looked at her, the more he felt she was similar to Stella. At the thought of Stella, Felix
asked.
"Stella is not here?"
"She went to the airport to meet Joshua."
Rufus answered Felix's question.
"Is Joshua back?"
Felix continued in a calm voice.
"Yes, he had finished the work and will work at home."
Rufus said that with a happy look. It was a piece of happy news for him. After all, his daughter and son-
in-law no longer had to live in different places.
"Good. It is good to come back."
Felix sighed and seemed to feel a sense of relief.
"Grandpa Felix, Rufus, you talk. I'll help in the kitchen and tell them to cook something Grandpa Felix
likes. We can have lunch when Stella and her husband come back."
Vanessa rarely said flattering words to others, but she wanted to live a good impression to Felix, hoping
he could be good to her sister.
She felt embarrassed and depressed, because Felix gave her a sense of pressure, so she was
inhibited. She’d better leave with excuse.
"Someone is already in the kitchen."
Rufus did not want Vanessa to help, but he could not be so direct, he could only say so.
Vanessa knew Rufus was concerned about her, so she gave a grateful smile.
"A lady had a family emergency and left, leaving only two people in the kitchen. I can help with what I
could."
Vanessa really didn't want to stay in a space with Felix, and it was not polite back to her room and not
appropriate to find an excuse to go out. The best place she could stay was the kitchen.
"Can you cook?"
Felix asked.
"A little, wash rice and vegetables, help cut vegetables, I am quite good at it. Grandpa Felix, you talk to
Rufus, I'm going to help."
With that, Vanessa turned to the kitchen to help. Felix looked at Vanessa's back with emotion.
"She is very sensible like her sister. There are very few such kids now. Nowadays, the social
atmosphere is not good. Even the poor children are spoiled. No one will help to cook at such a young
age."
"Both of them are sensible. Even Luke and Megan are cleverer than the children of the same age. The
two children are filial, no matter what they eat, they will give the adults first before they eat."
They were both sensible, but Rufus felt distressed about that. If their parents were alive, they would be
spoilt too. How could one of them support the family and the other studied hard to change the
situation?
"Vanessa and I talked these days. She said she could cook, wash clothes and clean the house.
Whenever she is at home during holidays, she would do housework.”
"She said that her aunt and sister had done so much for her, and that she had nothing to return. She
could only study hard and do what she could."
At this thought, Rufus felt distressed and felt guilty to Vanessa.
"As the saying goes, the children of poor families take care of the family early. She has good character
and good performance in school, she must be a talent in the future."
Felix heard Rufus's pity for the two sisters, but he did not see the guilt of Rufus because he did not look
into his eyes.
It had been over ten days since Daenerys and Emily went to find Wendy, but they were still angry about
it.
While walking in the shopping mall, they walked about Wendy.
"Did you tell Winwin about our meeting with Wendy?"
Emily asked Daenerys looking at her.
"No, you said you would call her, so I didn't call her."
Daenerys thought Emily had told Winnie, so she had not mentioned about it.
"Did I? I forgot."
Emily did not remember she had said that, but since Daenerys said so, it must be that she had
forgotten.
"We need to call and tell her. Daenerys, see the clothes there. You try on the clothes and I'll call
Winwin."
So the two walked into a women's clothes shop.
Daenerys went to try on clothes, Emily found a comfortable seat to sit down and then called Winnie.
At this time, Winnie was enjoying the blue sky on the coast of H country, feeling the gentle and
comfortable sea breeze, relaxing in the lounge chair on the shore.
Occasionally she opened her eyes to take a look at the three people playing happily on the beach,
Winnie felt warm.
It was like a paradise, isolated from all the troubles and worries. If they could give up everything to live
here for the rest of their lives, there would be nothing left but happiness.
Unfortunately, imagination was vulnerable, they still had to return to real life and face the doomed
entanglement.
It had been 15 days since they left MG. According to plan, they should buy a plane ticket to go home
today. But seeing the children were having fun, Brian did not want to force them to go home, so he
decided to play for a few more days.
But it could change the fact that he would have a blind date when he was back.
Brian’s blind date made Winnie feel uneasy. After these experiences, she felt Felix would choose a
blind date who was in line with Brian's standards. It might be smooth and she had to back away.
At this thought, Winnie gave a bitter smile. She knew that she was worried, but why she worried before
things had happened.
She really cared too much about Brian, so she need time to accept it and make herself ready for the
worst.
While she was fantasizing, her phone rang.
It was Emily. Immediately she gave a smile and picked up the phone.
"Do you miss me?”
Winnie said in a relaxed and mischievous tone.
"I miss you. Come back. I can't remember you if you don't come back."
Emily joked, but compared to Winnie's tone, she was upset. After all, Winnie might feel uncomfortable
about what she was about to say.
But as a bestie, even if Winnie felt uncomfortable, she had to tell Winnie so that she could be ready.
"You don't really miss me, but I do miss you."
Winnie really missed home, missed B City, missed all the people in B City, as well as her aunt who
traveled outside.
"I know you miss me, but I'm calling to tell you another thing."
"Actually... Wait till you come back."
Emily regretted as she was about to say. Winnie must know about it, but if she said now, Winnie would
feel upset in her travel.
But if she did not say it now, she was afraid that Wendy began to act as they just got home and Winnie
was not on guard.
Emily felt contradictory and did not know if she should tell Winnie or nor. At this time Winnie’s words
made her relived.
"Tell me, I can take the bad and the good. I've been through a lot of ups and down."
Winnie still said in a relaxing tone, but she has sensed it was not a good thing since Emily hesitated.
"Ok, it is Wendy. She has not given up Brian, she will certainly come to you, and I want you to be
ready."
Emily finished it by a breath for fear she could not continue if she was a bit slower.
"How do you know?"
Winnie did not feel strange. Wendy had not given up Brian since the beginning, but there was
something that she had not told others.
"Oscar came back and told us what happened to you in MG. We thought it should be related to Wendy.
The next day Daenerys and I talked to Wendy. She didn't admit that it was her did that, but her attitude
expose her. And she made no secret of admitting to Daenerys and me that she didn't want to give up
on Brian."
Emily stopped here to hear Winnie's response, but Winnie thought Emily had not finished, waiting for
her to continue.
In such silence, Emily thought Winnie was depressed.
"Winwin, I told you this so that you can be prepared, but you can't take it seriously. It is reasonable that
Wendy can't give up. You just need to be prepared and don’t be hurt."
"Daenerys and I have analyzed your situation. Brian loves you. No matter what Wendy did, he would
not accept Wendy."
"Winwin, are you there? Don't take it to heart, ok? Be prepared and don’t allow Wendy to hurt you."
Emily was worried and she regretted to say it because of Winnie’s silence.
"I'm listening. I'm listening to how you analyzed it and I need to think about it.”
"You and Daenerys need not worry about me. I can handle it. Actually, when I met Wendy at the airport,
I knew that Wendy had not given up. Brian is a superior person, if she gives up, she will be a fool."
"I am prepared, and she is not cruel and merciless as Penney. If she deals with me, it will be nothing
bid. I have been through ups and downs and almost got myself killed, do you think I will care about her
tricks?"
Winnie’s tone was relaxing, but she was not making a joke, she just felt warm about the concern of
Emily and Daenerys.
"Are you sure you will be ok?"
Emily asked uncertainly.
"Yes, don’t worry."
Winnie pacified Emily.
