Winnie felt it necessary to tell Brian about it in advance, so that he could be ready.
Brian was surprised to hear that and let go of Winnie. He had heard that Vanessa wanted to move out,
but he had not heard Winnie's affirmative answer.
How could Winnie agree? Vanessa wanted to move out, because there was a knot in her heart. Brian
did not want her to leave with resentment to his family.
She move out with this mentality, Brian would be worried.
"Winwin, a girl is safer at home. She is still a student and can't deal with problems at all. She said she
was moving out, you should stop her, how can you agree with that?"
"I am worried about her too, but her attitude was tough and I couldn't stop her. I know that Vanessa's
decision is very capricious without considering the Bennet family, but......"
Winnie was embarrassed and did not know how to explain. But she did not explain, she was afraid that
Brian would have a wild thought.
"Brian, actually, Vanessa couldn't understand what had happened today. She said that she could
understand everyone's silence, but she loved me dearly and could not see me being bullied. She also
did not want to make others find an excuse to despise me because she was living here for free."
Although Vanessa did not say these words, Winnie guessed that it was the reason she insisted on
leaving.
"Vanessa has never been unruly since she was a child, even when she went through puberty. This time
she was too sensitive. I know that her sudden departure will make Rufus and Stella uncomfortable, but
I want her to be willful once and learn to be independent."
Actually, the most important reason for Winnie was to worry about Vanessa's illness. If she lived here
for a long time, what happened today would happen again. She was afraid that Vanessa could not
stand it and it would affect her illness.
After listening to Winnie's words, Brian swallowed all the words of opposition. He did not create a good
living environment for Vanessa, how could he ask her to stay?
"Since she is determined to move out, I would not force her to stay, but you need to see her often. Let
me know if she needs help."
That was Brian could only do. He felt sorry to Winnie and Vanessa, because he failed to protect Winnie
and made Vanessa worried.
Vanessa and her aunt gave him Winnie was because they felt he could give Winnie happiness and he
could take care of Winnie.
But on the contrary, he did not give Winnie anything, but Winnie thought for him and helped her solve
all problems.
Now he felt ashamed of Vanessa, how could he ask her to stay?
As Winnie and Brian were discussing about who told Rufus about it, Brian's phone rang. He went to the
bed and picked it up. Seeing that it was his grandfather's, he answered it.
"Grandpa."
His voice was low and slightly dissatisfied, because it was his grandpa invited Winnie, he should not
allow Maria to make a hard time for her.
"I have something to tell you. I couldn't say it when Winnie was here, so I can only make a call to you."
"You have been back for several days, you should be ready for the blind date. Tomorrow is the
weekend. You pick a time and I'll arrange it."
Felix was domineering, not asking for Brian's opinion, but giving a direct order.
Brian frowned, looking at Winnie with embarrassment.
There was constant harm to her. Until now he had given Winnie warmth, but he had to hurt her again.
Brian did not want to do it, but he could not refuse.
"The day after tomorrow, six in the evening."
In the end, Brian picked a time. But when he said time, when he looked embarrassed, Winnie had
guessed it was the blind date.
After the call was over, Brian held the phone firmly in his hand. He did not know how to say to Winnie
about such a ridiculous thing.
"Blind date, right? You have agreed with Chairman a long time ago, you should fulfill your words."
Winnie didn't want Brian to be in a dilemma, so she took the initiative to mention it. Brian was ashamed
and speechless.
"Brian, if you meet a woman of good character, get married. Otherwise, Chairman will keep pushing
you to go on a blind date, and he will think I am in the middle to prevent it."
Winnie knew sooner or later it would happen, it’d better to start early and end early. She was
impossible to marry Brian, it’d better to make Brian have a family as soon as possible, so that Felix had
nothing to worry about.
Maria did not make a big deal, but Winnie understood one thing. Seriously speaking, Thomas and his
family had no right to interfere her relationship with Brian, but Maria still looked down on her and
showed her a black face.
Since Maria did not respect her, even if she married in to the Bennet family, she would not be able to
lead a peaceful life. It might as well get his whole family happy.
"Winwin, what do you and the children do if I get married? I won't get married."
Brian decisively refused. Now he felt sorry for Winnie, if he got married, he would become a jerk.
"My children and I will still live here and nothing will change. Brian, I am willing to be with you. I do not
need to marry you and do not want status. As long as you love me, and as long as the four of us can
be together, I will be content."
Before Winnie could finish her words, Brian embraced her into his arms. She knew that Brian was
touched and that Brian loved her that she was telling a lie. But at the moment, if she wanted everyone
to live quietly, if she wanted Brian not to be dilemma, she could only say so.
She really wanted to be with Brain, and she really wanted to give her children a complete home, but
she knew she couldn't share a man with another woman.
The children were still small, she had no other choice. But when they grew older and could accept the
fact, she would leave. Perhaps by that time Brain's heart had shifted to his wife, and she would leave
with ease.
"Winwin, the more you don't fight or rob, the more I feel I owe you. As long as you always are with me,
give me some time, I will not disappoint you. I will manage to persuade grandpa."
Brian was moved. Hearing what Winnie said, he felt that he was a bastard. Woman took all blame and
endured everything for him
However, he gained nothing for this woman in his arms, but only made her sad.
"I'll wait for you. I'll give you time. But don't force it. Let it be. Just don't make me the enemy of
everyone."
Winnie was really afraid that she was hated though she was kind to others. If so, her life would be
failure.
Rufus had a complex mood.
He walked back and forth in the room, again and again thinking of Vanessa’s distressed words. He had
heard that Vanessa would leave, it was not her fault, it was he failed to take care of her.
Rufus was guilty of Vanessa and Isobel. He promised Isobel to take good care of Vanessa, but he
failed so, but made her cry sadly.
Rufus felt it was necessary to call Isobel to talk about it.
After the phone was connected, Rufus asked Isobel's physical condition first.
"Well, have you been out of the hospital?”
Rufus’s voice was low and moderate, feeling indebted to Isobel.
"Yes, I discharged today."
Isobel was having a rest in the hotel room and then she received a call from Rufus.
It didn't really make any difference to her if she had discharged or not. She lived in hotels, though
hospitals were much more expensive than hotels.
"I have sent the man who took care of me back. Thank him for me. The weather here is very good
these two days. I want to stay here for a few days and then go to H Country with a tour group."
Before Rufus asked, Isobel told him her plans in recent days. She knew Rufus called her for that.
"Have a good rest these two days and take care of yourself if you go abroad. Find a reliable tour group.
Don't be fooled."
Rufus said. He was not around Isobel, so he was worried about her whether she was good or not.
"It's all right. I won't be fooled. If nothing else, I'll hang up."
Isobel answered indifferently and was to hang up the phone, but was stopped by Rufus.
"Wait, I have something to tell you."
"Isobel, I took Vanessa to the old house today..."
Rufus told Isobel what happened today, including the conservation between Vanessa and Winnie and
that Vanessa wanted to move out.
Isobel listened to him quietly, did not interrupt him once. Isobel’s calm attitude made Rufus nervous.
"Alas......"
Isobel took a sign, which flustered Rufus.
"Isobel, I failed to do what I promised you. I failed to take good care of Winwin and Vanessa, but I don't
want Vanessa to live in school. I never thought it would be a problem to pick her up and take care of
her. I really will be worried if she lives in school."
Rufus didn't want Vanessa to move out. He felt relieved and happy that he picked her up every day. He
made this call was to say sorry, wishing Isobel could help him.
However, Isobel's answer surprised Rufus.
"Since she wants to live in school, let her do it. She's old enough to learn to be independent. And it
could happen again in your family or..."
At this, Rufus interrupted Isobel.
"No, I promise I won't take her to the old house again. Not only will she not go, but also I will not let
Winwin go. Neither of them will be laughed at."
Rufus thought Isobel would be worried if Vanessa moved out and she would try to stop Vanessa.
However, Isobel’s words were unexpected, as if there was no hope.
"No, you can’t keep your promise. You're all Bennets. The suburbs and the old house are the Bennet’s.
Even if the two sisters don't go to the old house, you can't stop the people from the old house from
coming to suburbs."
"Do they always tell you before they go to you? Do you always keep the two sisters away before they
go to you? I think it would hurt their pride more."
