Isobel said that controlling her emotions. At this moment she really wanted to cry and wanted to say
sorry to everyone. If it wasn't for her, it wouldn't have caused so much misery.
After the phone call, Isobel was worried no matter how she comforted herself. She was so tired that
she could hardly keep her eyes open, but she could not sleep soundly.
Finally she called Rufus.
"Isobel, how are you?"
Rufus picked up the phone and asked eagerly.
"I am ok."
"I just heard the kids said that Brian and Winwin had broken up, is that right?"
Isobel asked, hoping the she could have a different from Rufus, so that she would be less worried.
"Yes."
Rufus’s answer let Isobel down.
"Alas......"
Isobel sighed deeply at first.
"I thought that if I was away, Brian could take good care of Winwin, Vanessa and two kids. I didn't
expect that..."
"Forget it, never mind. They are not going to work out anyway. It's better for them to break up early."
Isobel said hopelessly. She was not only worried about the living conditions of the kids, but also worried
about Winnie’s emotional pain. Over the phone, she even dared not comfort Winnie, for fear that
Winnie would break down in face the kids.
She was experienced, so she could feel that Winnie was sad to be separated from the one she loved.
Her heart must be painful as someone cut on it.
"I'm sorry, Isobel, for making you worry about Winnie. It's my fault. I didn't control my son. But you can
rest assured that I will take good care of them and make sure that they will not be hurt."
Rufus felt guilty to Isobel. He always made a mistake when she needed him.
"It is ok, I should have taken care of my kids myself. But I am so far away that I must ask you to take
care of them now."
"Rufus, I don't ask for anything else. Just keep my kids safe, even if they suffer a little injustice."
Isobel said in a choked voice. She was really worried that Winnie could not hold on it. She wanted to fly
back immediately, but she was an army doctor on duty and she was in charge, so under no
circumstances could she go back at that time.
"Don't worry, don't worry. I certainly will guarantee their safety and I will not let them suffer injustice. You
don't have to worry about your family. You just have to do your job well and come back safe."
Rufus heard Isobel’s voice trembling, so he knew she was worried. Knowing that she cried, Rufus was
in more remorse, and at the moment he did not know how to appease her.
"Don't worry about me. I'll take care of myself. I'll be relieved if you take care of them."
Isobel tried to control her mood. Even if she felt it difficult, she did not want show her weak side to
Rufus.
"Why did they break up?"
Isobel wanted to ask Winnie this question, but afraid that Winnie would be sad, so she did not ask
Winnie, though she wanted to know about it
Rufus knew the reason. But he didn't want to tell Isobel at the moment, lest she worried more.
"They didn't say anything about it. They just told us it was over. Wait till they both calm down, and we'll
see."
In fact, Rufus planned to tell her the reason when she came back, so that she could feel at ease with
the work.
To the reason that they broke up, Rufus did not believe it. Isobel would not accept it. She would not
believe that her niece did such a thing, would fight tooth and nail to prove her niece's innocence.
"Well, you must let me know. Please take care of them."
“Goodbye!”
This time, Isobel's attitude was much better than before, at least she said goodbye before hanging up
the phone.
Rufus could not help but sigh after putting down the phone.
He tried to fix things, but things seemed to be getting worse. Winnie and Brian separated, and the
custody of the kids was Winnie’s. Would they leave?
Once they left, his life would lose its color and he would feel lonely for the rest of his life. The most
important thing was that Brian would be sad forever.
He had lost his mother who was the most important to him, which had made his pain still deep to this
day. If he lost Winnie and his kids, he must be sadder.
After much thought, he felt it would be wise to find a solution that would hurt everyone less.
This path, however, was fraught with difficulties and would be subject to change depending on how
things turned out, which meant everything was up in the air.
On Sunday, Vanessa went to the library to find materials, Winnie stayed at home with her kids.
As she put the kids’ and Vanessa's dirty clothes to wash, she received a call from the police.
There was an urgent task, but she could not call Vanessa back. After discussing with the two kids,
Winnie sent the two kids to the suburbs.
"Rufus, I have emergency to deal with, please take care of the kids. I'm really sorry I didn't let you rest
on the weekend."
Winnie was anxious and got sweat on her forehead.
"Ok, I'm supposed to take care of the kids."
"Go ahead and drive carefully."
Rufus said. In his view, anxious things were not important as personal safety.
"Good-bye, Rufus."
Winnie turned to run outside, but when she ran to the door, she saw Brian coming in.
"You're home, too."
She was in a hurry, so she bypassed him before he could say a word.
She was in a hurry and did not bother to think whether Brian was at home or not when she came.
Would he think she came deliberately?
On the way to drive to the police station, Winnie sent a voice message to Brian after a moment of
thinking.
"I had emergency to deal with, so I had to ask Rufus to look after kids. I didn't know you were home. I'd
have avoided it if I'd known."
"And I didn't expect to meet you on the hill yesterday. Two kids were no in good mood, so I took them
for a walk. Unexpectedly we met. Don't think much about it. I have no other ideas."
"The kids had been in a bad mood because of what happened yesterday. If you have time, explain to
them and enlighten them."
Winnie sent three messages in a row, thinking she had explained clearly. She hoped Brian could
understand her and would not think she was a scheming woman and had ulterior motives.
At that thought, Winnie smiled, so that? In his heart, she was a dirty person and it would be no use to
explain.
Brian was worried about Winnie seeing she left in a hurry. He could not call her, so he had to go
through other channels.
He just wanted the people he sent to secretly protect Winnie made sure Winnie was save. But he had
to ask today, or he would feel uneasy.
Brian went to the yard and made a phone call.
"Is there any important emergency for Winnie these days?"
"No. But she was in a hurry when she came out of your house, and now we're behind her. She's driving
pretty fast."
Hearing such an answer, Brian was even more worried. Winnie was a reliable person. She never drove
fast. What the hell was going on today?
"Protect her and tell me the details of her condition."
Brian was worried, but all he could do was to ask his man to protect Winnie.
"Don't worry, Mr. Bennet, we will protect Director Chambers' safety."
"Where does she often go these days?"
Brian continued to ask.
"Go to her friend's house, go to gym, go to dinner... Nothing special. And she used to go to the police
station, almost every day at noon."
Bodyguard thought it was weird that she went to the police station, so he told the truth.
“To the police stain? XX police station? Did she go to Officer Lee?"
Brian was confused. He only knew Office Lee was in XX police station.
"No, the police station that Director Chambers often goes is our B City general security bureau."
"General security bureau? Why?"
Brian was more puzzled. Winnie went to the general security bureau almost every day at noon back,
why?
"We don't know why. Director Chambers can drive in and out of the police station, but we can't get in,
so we don't know. All we know is that she goes out when it was time to work."
The bodyguard was in a state of confusion. But what Winnie did had nothing to do with him, all they
had to do was to keep her safe.
Brian did not hear any valuable information and he became more confused. He hung up the phone, but
at this moment, he received messages from Winnie.
Brian immediately clicked on it. After that, he felt even worse. The purpose of her explanation was very
clear, she feared that he might misunderstand her purpose.
However, when Brian read the messages again, the first two had already been withdrawn. There was
only one that she asked him to enlighten the kids.
Why was it withdrawn? Did she think it was unnecessary or that he would not believe her?
Brian returned to the house, only to see the two kids obediently sitting in the living room watching
cartoons. They looked much more negative.
In the past, when they watched cartoons, they would play happily, running back and forth between the
sofa and the ground. But now they lost the vitality of kids.
Brian knew the reason, because he broke up with Winnie, plus they met Gloria yesterday.
Brian went to the sofa and sat down next to his two kids.
"I am sorry about yesterday. I should have told you that."
