Brian walked up to Winnie, then spoke coldly.
"Have you gone back to work in your company?"
This was the first word he had said to Winnie since he came back to now. It was because he couldn't
help it that he came to talk to her.
"No, the company is not busy and I am on vacation from today."
Winnie answered cautiously. At this moment, she really became a guest here. At this moment, the man
beside her, the man who once slept on the same bed with her, became the most alienated person.
"OK."
Brian responded, and then he didn't know what to say.
They were in an awkward predicament again, and the silence made them uncomfortable.
After Brian knew that Winnie had come here, he turned down all his appointments and ran back. But he
didn't know what to say at this time.
After a long silence and a long embarrassment, Brian spoke again.
"Winnie, come out, I have something to tell you."
Brian came back with a purpose, and whatever he wanted to do must be done.
"What?"
When Winnie was stunned, Brian had already got up and walked out.
Fortunately, Brian didn't go to the bedroom upstairs, or to a more private space. Winnie took a deep
breath and got up and followed him out.
"What's the matter?"
Winnie asked when she came out, in order to avoid the embarrassment of silence.
"... I was wrong when I lost my temper with you that day because of your request for leave. I apologize
to you now."
Brian always wanted to apologize to Winnie. However, she kept avoiding him, so he never had a
chance.
Winnie was puzzled for Brian's sudden apology. However, she couldn't ask the reasons. She could only
stall him.
"You were not wrong. You are the leader who thinks about the overall situation of the company. It is
right. I didn't understand the rules and made it difficult for you."
"I'm back to work in my own company now, and this kind of thing won't happen again in the future."
Winnie was implying Brian not to ask her to go back to work in the future, otherwise there would be
such a conflict again. Because she would always ask for leave, and he would always dislike her.
"I'll leave the cooperation between your company and our company to Calvin. I won't interfere with his
arrangement."
Brian said. He was not to avoid Winnie, on the contrary, only then could he let Winnie continue to work
at the Bennet Group.
He understood Winnie's hint just now. She didn't want to work at the Bennet Group.
But he was not sure if he could get used to working without Winnie. Once he was not used to it, he
could order Calvin to call Winnie back.
"Oh... It there anything else, Mr. Bennet? If it's okay, I'll go in and call Vanessa. We should go home."
Winnie couldn't continue this topic, so she could only find an excuse to leave.
Brain didn't answer after Winnie finished speaking. However, as soon as Winnie turned around, her
hand was caught.
At that moment, Winnie's thoughts were confused, and she remembered a lot of past events. But the
things in the past had no meaning to them now.
"Mr. Bennet..."
Winnie didn't look back, and wanted to warn Brian to let go of her hand. At this moment, Brian spoke.
"I should go to see Penny, but I can't go by myself. Do you have time?"
Brian found another excuse to delay time. Winnie's soft hand attracted him like a magnet.
"Tomorrow, I'll be there tomorrow morning. You can go if you have time."
Winnie said, pulling her hand back hard. At this moment, Brian realized that even if he didn't want to let
go, he had to let go of her.
"Be careful on the way home."
Brain charged Winnie and reluctantly let go of her hand.
Seeing her running away, Brian was like falling into an abyss. He couldn't even breath.
He couldn't forget her, but he couldn't forgive her either. Brian thought it was the most tangled thing, the
most tormenting thing.
On the way home, Winnie remained silent, and Vanessa looked worried and took the initiative to find a
topic.
"Winnie, in fact, Rufus let us go to the outskirts of the city because he was worried. Why did you refuse
him?"
"I can't stand seeing Brian. How can I live there? We have broken up. As long as I live there, people
will gossip. Especially Gloria, she will be upset."
"Oh... don't make trouble for others."
Winnie said sadly. She thought it was better to be in a dangerous environment than to be hated. But
how was his mood when he said "be careful on the way home"?
Worried? Did he still care about her?
"I also think you are quite embarrassed. By the way, has the marriage between Brain and Gloria been
confirmed?"
Vanessa was not curious about these things. She just wanted Winnie to talk to her, not to endure pain
alone.
"It should be almost done. I don't know the details. In the company, apart from the necessary contacts
for work, we avoid each other during the rest of the time. Both of us don't want to see each other."
"Hey... get married. They should get married quickly. I can calm down when everything is settled down."
Winnie sighed again, always feeling that she was depressed and could not breathe.
"Winnie, you still have feelings for Brain, right?"
Vanessa asked Winnie a question.
"It's not so easy to forget him. I paid so seriously. It's impossible to forget it all at once. I will get used to
it slowly."
Winnie's tone was relatively relaxed. She didn't hide it. Even if she did, Vanessa would not believe her.
Instead, she would worry about her.
"By the way, Vanessa, don't tell aunt about Richard's appearance. She will be more worried after
knowing it. From now on, we should be more careful. During this time, you live at home, and I will take
you to school and pick you up every day."
Winnie changed the subject, the name "Brian" made her too depressed.
"I won't go home. I will live in school. Fate is doomed. I can't control whether to live or die. If I am
destined to be killed by Richard, I don't think I can escape. Don't be too worried. Those meant to come
should come sooner or later, and we can't escape. Don't make yourself nervous because of what hasn't
happened yet."
Vanessa believed in fate and believed that everything was destined. She almost died before and was
not afraid of death.
"Hey, I underestimated you. Not only are you not afraid, but you also think clearly. Not only can you
enlighten yourself, but you can also comfort me. You have really grown up."
Winnie touched Vanessa's head with satisfaction, never expecting Vanessa to say these words.
But she was telling the truth, and no one could resist fate.
"If I don't grow up, you will be the one who is worried."
"By the way, my school's law department has an activity to voluntarily promote legal knowledge in
remote villages in the mountains. Would you like to be a volunteer and go around?"
Suddenly, Vanessa thought of a way to relax Winnie, hoping Winnie could feel better and stop thinking
about Brain.
"Okay, I just have time recently."
"But when I'm leaving, what about your safety?"
Winnie was worried about Vanessa.
"I just said that fate is doomed. What are you worried about? I promise that I will never go out these
days. I will stay at school."
The school was the safest place, no one could go in and out casually. With so many classmates and
teachers, no one would be able to hurt her.
"Okay, then you can register for me and I will participate. Do you know when it is?"
Winnie made up her mind and believed that Vanessa could take care of herself.
"They will set off the day after tomorrow."
Winnie thought about the time and made sure it was the day after tomorrow.
"Well, I will go to see Penny and Uncle Romeo tomorrow."
Winnie quickly adjusted her plan to make time for activity.
"Sister, are you looking for Uncle Romeo for something?"
Vanessa asked Winnie incomprehensibly. They hadn't mentioned Uncle Romeo in their lives for a long
time.
"Go and see Uncle Romeo, and ask him if he knows who bought our house by the way. Even if the
owner won't sell it, we have to discuss with him and take the things out first."
Winnie wanted to ask Romeo about something. There had been no progress on the house. She could
only ask someone for information.
"Well, take out the things first. Those things are gifts that our parents left us. We must take them back."
"By the way, Winnie, you must pay attention to your safety when you go to see Penny. She is evil, don't
let her hurt you."
The person Vanessa was most worried about now was Winnie, her sister. Winnie insisted on going to
see Penney. As her younger sister, Vanessa couldn't stop her. All she could do was tell her to be
careful.
"Don't worry, I will be fine with Oscar."
Winnie had listened to this kind of advice many times, and she was still moved by such concerns. But
she had never gotten the care she most hoped for.
"Winnie, I think Oscar is pretty good too. Why don't you marry Stefan or Oscar?"
Vanessa's topic changed so fast that Winnie couldn't accept it.
"Why are you mentioning Oscar and Stefan? Don't worry about my marriage. I will get married when
the time has come."
"I am in a hurry. Brian is about to get married, why are you going to be single. Besides, if someone
takes care of you and loves you, I will be relieved."
Vanessa had her thoughts, she didn't want Winnie to be single because of her. And Winnie must be
involved in another relationship to forget about Brian.
"Brian's marriage is his business, and it doesn't matter to me. Do I have to get married if he gets
married? Besides, I don't need anyone to take care of me now, and I don't have feelings for Oscar, so
don't worry about me."
"There are many people who never get married for a lifetime. I am much better than them. At least I
have two children. For the time being, it seems that being single is not bad."
Winnie didn't want to get entangled with Brian. The earlier he got married, the earlier she would be
relieved. As for marriage, it seemed to have missed her.
The next morning, Winnie and Oscar made an appointment to have breakfast at Penny's house, so
they returned from a run and changed into casual clothes and went to Penny's house.
She didn't contact Brian or tell him when she would come to Penny's house. She could only stay at
Penny's house for one morning. If Brian didn't come, she wouldn't be able to wait for him.
