Rufus spoke of the painful past. The child had been born, but he was still guilty to her and Isobel.
"FatherDad, take my whole life as a lesson. Don't let Brian live a miserable life as I did."
"Your ideal Joe, Brian will help you do itbuild a Bennet Group as you want, for the sake of the kids, to
give them a complete home."
This is was Rufus's only request to his father, . He had made ahis thing has become a mistake and it
could not be, has changed. But can't sacrifice so dalian lessons are not learned he should learn the
lesson.
The study fell silent again, and neither father nor son spoke.
Rufus because the backlog offelt better because he spoke out his resentment in the bottom of my heart
and feel relaxed, but Felix's heart is so heavy felt upset.
Was it wrong what he had arranged for all of The the Bennet Group familyFamily? If he was wrong, he
would have wasted a lifetime of thought.
Felix and Rufus waswere called out of the study by Thomas, the reason is thatbecause the dinner has
had been ready, waiting for the two of them to sit down.
Throughout the dinner, Gloria tried her best to express show off herself. They were all to flattering Joe
DeiangFelix.
This It was in stark contrast to the Winnie in front of Felix that day. To tell the truth, Gloria nothing ’s
gallantry let annoyed Felix upset.
Felix mood is was not very goodin a good mood, plus Gloria brought himannoyed him, he was not in a
upset, natural no mood to eat.
He took only a few bites before putting down his chopsticks and standing up.
"Don't I can’t eat too much dinner. Take your time."
Felix said that and walked toward the bedroom, then. Stella quickly stood up to help Felix leave.
There was a moment's silence at the table. After a while, Thomas had to break the silence.
"Let's keep eating. The donDad is getting old, and a big dinner eating much is bad for his digestion."
"Gloria, this is your first time to come our home. Eat more."
Thomas said to alleviate the embarrassment, but he had something in mind.
His father and brother spent so much time in the study and he wondered what they were talking about.
And there was a marked change in his father's attitude, especially to Gloria.
He guessed it must be his Brother could not accept Gloria, so he talked about it with his father. That
was why his father had an obvious change.
Thomas gave Gloria a wink and motioned her to focus on Rufus.
Gloria got the message and responded to Thomas.
"Thank you, Uncle Thomas, I must eat more."
Then Gloria looked at Rufus.
"Rufus, you eat more too. I see you haven't eaten much."
"Ok."
Rufus gave an indifferent response, after all, it was not Gloria’s mistake. Gloria and Brian was a
partnership, she just wanted to act well, so he should not blame her.
"Rufus, when I am available, I will go with grandpa to see you and see the two kids."
Gloria continued to speak zealously, revealing her love for the two kids.
Rufus did not answer. Even if Gloria was nice, even if Gloria was polite, he did not welcome Gloria, he
could not make it hard for the kids and Winnie.
At this time, Stella walked back and said.
"Gloria, thank you for your kindness. But you can't go to my dad's, because the kids don't know about
you and Brian, and they need time to accept it. We'll invite you over when we tell them what
happened."
This was the first time Stella and Gloria met, she felt that she did not like Gloria. Even if it was a
partnership, Stella would consciously compare her with Winnie.
They were both beautiful, but Gloria dressed up too much, and she did not look noble. Although they
were both polite, Gloria was hypocritical, seemingly she had her own motives.
While Winnie was natural and real.
Stella felt no women around Brian could be comparable to Winnie. She had received higher education,
but she was not as generous as Winnie.
"Ok, sister, try not to embarrass the kid, I will take my time."
Gloria seemed not care about it and did not show her dissatisfaction.
But after she said that, she looked to Thomas.
The two looked at each other but said nothing.
The dinner was peaceful. No one was talking.
After the dinner, Brian sent Gloria back.
Albert drove, Brian sat in the passenger seat, and Gloria sat in the back. It seems seemed like a very
distant relationship.
"JoeMr. Bennet, haven’t you told your family about, our partnership is not your home to say ah.? Stella
seems to My sister kind of rejects me, and my uncle your father is not happy. Did they misunderstand
that I really want to fight with Winnie for you?"
Gloria broke the silence in the car, deliberately mentioned Stella and Rufus's attitude.
She was not a fool, and she knew at once where their cold, silent manner was directedwhy they gave
her a cold attitude.
"Yes, I did, but not in but not in that much details. I'll tell them again talk about it tonight when we I get
back."
He explained, but hHe did not say anything to apologize for his sister and father’ s attitude.
Gloria showed herself too much today. Knowing that they had a cooperative relationship, she should
not be so pleasing to grandpa and should not say those words to his father.
Gloria was attentive, which made Brian uncomfortable, always feeling that she wanted to expose
something.
"Yes, tell it to your family. Don't let them worry about me."
"By the way, tell your father I will not go to the suburbs. I was just acting and tried to make
conversation. I know Winnie and the kids are there, how can I be there? Besides, we agreed not to
meet casually."
Gloria clarified everything about herself. Now she had another attitude, it looked like she could get into
show business and act.
On the way home, Joshua drove, Stella sat in the passenger seat, Rufus sat in the back.
"Dad, I think Uncle Thomas was too enthusiastic today. He had a different attitude toward Winnie. And
Maria said nothing today but only gave a smile. I feel something wrong."
Stella has been paying attention to the reaction of Thomas. Not she wanted to analyze with her family,
she felt Gloria was familiar with Uncle Thomas.
"I found that, he had been speaking for Gloria."
Joshua chimed in
In the old house, he did not say a few words from beginning to end, but his attention had always been
on Thomas. Joshua also found the wrong place, but he could not jump to the conclusions.
"Your uncle is a snob. He doesn't take Winwin seriously because she has no a rich family. Gloria is
different, she has a powerful family background, of course, he likes her."
Rufus did not think too much but only think Thomas looked down upon Winnie.
"Dad, what were you and Grandpa talking about in the study? Grandpa looked different when he came
out than when he went in."
Stella saw it but she did not ask about it.
"It was about Brian and Winwin."
Rufus took a sign before he answered.
"Stella, the two kids and Winnie were not there, I feel sorry for them, so I asked your grandpa to the
study."
“I spoke so much to your grandpa, hoping that he would not interfere with the marriage of Brian, but I
don't think it has much effect."
Rufus took a sigh again. He had said everything out, but his father did not change, which made him
helpless, after all, he was old and could not take it anymore.
"Dad, Grandpa didn't say anything, it doesn't mean he doesn't care about it. You saw grandpa's attitude
towards Gloria changed after he went in and out. I think your words still influenced him."
Stella had her own views on the matter. She believed everyone, not just her, saw the change in
grandpa's attitude.
"Don't worry too much, Dad. Grandpa has lived for more than 90 years, so this idea has been with him
for more than 90 years. It is not easy for him to correct it at once. Let's take our time. Let's convince
him. I think there's a good chance he'll accept Winwin."
Stella persuaded Rufus, afraid that he would get ill.
The family was there expect the kids and Winnie. Stella was uncomfortable about it too, otherwise she
would not had that attitude to Gloria.
But in that case, they could not bring them there, or it would be embarrassing.
What was more, Winnie would refuse to be there.
When Brian went home, Winnie was discussing the new program with Luke.
"Have you had your supper?"
Brian went to Winnie and asked them.
"Yes. You are back so early. Has Rufus been back too?"
Winnie thought Brian would come back very late, because it was natural for a family to talk longer.
"Yes."
"Where is Megan?"
Brian asked.
"Megan is learning language in her room. What do you want?"
Winnie's attention was still in Luke’s program. Only when she put her attention on other places, she
would not think about the family reunion the Bennet family.
As Winnie’s voice fell, Megan opened the door and came it.
"Dad, you are home. You must be happy to go to Great Grandpa's house."
Megan expressed her dissatisfaction.
Hearing that she was in a strange tone, Brain gave a doting smile.
"No, I am not happy there without my daughter."
"That's a pity. Time can't be turned back, and my brother and I can't go to the old house. There is
nothing we can do even if you are unhappy."
Megan said while walking to Luke. Brian smiled, but she had been serious.
Megan was upset that the three of them were left at home. Although her mother had explained it, she
felt the Bennet family did not like them and did not think they were members of the Bennet family.
"Megan, we are happy with Mom at home. Don't care so much. It's best we don't go, or we'll feel bad
watching mom get bullied."
