When Stefan wanted to say his main purpose, the waiter knocked on the door.
"BOSS, Miss Chambers is here."
Stefan sighed. He did not know whether Winnie came at the right time, but since she came, have a
talk.
"Tell her I'm here and send her here."
Stefan ordered and the waiter ran out. Moments later Winnie came in in low spirits.
She first saw Brian and then Stefan.
"What do you mean? You talk."
Winnie turned to go, but was stopped by Stefan.
"Winwin, let's sit down, okay? Even if Mr. Bennet was looking for a reason to break up with you, you
should make it clear."
Stefan persuaded Winnie, since he let Winnie in, he knew she would leave when she saw Brian.
But running away would never solve the problem, whether they broke up or continued, they had to
make this matter clear, so as to move on.
"I have no innocence in his eyes. There's no difference between explaining and not explaining, and it
doesn't change his opinion of me. So there's no point wasting energy."
"Do you have a......"
Winnie had seen through everything, no matter what kind of person she was, Brian did not trust her.
Even though she worked as a software engineer and a cop, she was a liar in his eyes.
The stereotype was so ingrained that she could not say a word.
However, Stefan interrupted her and let her face it.
"Winwin, you're running away, you know? For whatever reason, whatever Mr. Bennet thinks of you, you
have broken up. Why can't you face it, why do you run away? Since you have broken up, you should
show your innocence."
Stefan's hint was understood by everyone present.
Brian had been silent, now as long as he opened his mouth, Winnie would be irritable. He wanted her
to stay and talk. But as long as he opened his mouth, Winnie must leave.
Winnie understood Stefan’s words, if she was determined to go, it proved that she still loved Brian and
cared about his views on her. But if she stayed and put an end to the matter, it would prove that in the
meantime she had forgotten Brian and did not care what he thought of her.
In that case, she stayed. Even if it was against her heart, even if it deceived herself, she wanted to let
Brian know she had a better life without him.
Winnie sorted out her chaotic mood, then walked back to sit next to Stefan, opposite Brian.
Seeing that Winnie sat down, Brian felt relieved, but he was sad that it was Stefan made her stay.
"Mr. Bennet, let’s go on."
"The most important reason why I didn't tell you in time was my selfishess. You and Winwin are no
longer together, and she's single so this is no offense. Because I like her, I have been struggling to help
clear up the misunderstanding between you."
"I was afraid that if I told you, you guys were back together, and I would lose my chance. That's why I
hesitated for so long."
Stefan said in a magnanimous way. He did not conceal the fact he liked Winnie and was not afraid to
say such words in front of Brian. However, his forthright words made Winnie feel sudden.
Winnie incredibly looked at Stefan. She did not expect he would say that in front of Brian.
Brian was so unexpected, but he still frowned when he heard Stefan’s confession.
He felt Stefan liked Winnie, so he asked why Stefan did not tell him the truth earlier. To his surprise,
Stefan had the courage to say he liked Winnie.
"Since you hesitated, why tell me now?"
Brian asked coldly, suppressing his anger.
"I don't want Winwin to be wronged all her life because of this, and I don't want you to lose Winwin in
an unfair situation. I don't want to be a dirty person, I don't want to take advantage of people's danger."
"I like Winwin, but I want to be aboveboard. Mr. Bennet, I want to say, from today I will officially pursue
Winwin, I hope you can understand."
"I know I am nothing compared to your qualifications. I can't afford a fancy limited-edition car, but I can
buy her a car values millions. I can't afford a villa worth billions, but I can give her a spacious and bright
home. The love you once gave her will be beyond by me."
Stefan said seriously, and he knew that no matter how tactful his words were, they would be
provocative to Brian. But he had to pursue his own happiness and love, he could not care about what
others thought.
He was very true to show his attitude, although his external conditions were not as good as Brian, but
he could guarantee he loved Winnie.
No matter how Brian looked at him or treated him, he wanted to express his love. At this moment he
would like to thank Brian to give him this opportunity, if there was no misunderstanding between them,
his love for Winnie could only be buried deep in the bottom of his heart.
"I understand, she is now free to be courted by all men of composite conditions."
Brian said through gritted his teeth. It was him who had given Stefan a chance, he would be blamed,
but he would never let Stefan succeed, he must get Winnie back.
"Thank you, Mr. Bennet, for your understanding. Do you still have any doubts about me and Winwin
getting a room?"
Brian said politely, No matter what Brian thought, he had to say it.
"No, but I want to thank you. Thank you for taking care of Winwin that night, and for staying with her
when she was sad."
Brian had prepared so many questions but there was no need to ask now. If he asked, it would make
Stefan and Winnie closer.
He could no longer give Stefan a chance, no longer push the pace of their development.
"I have to go."
Brian got up and left.
Brian’s leaving confused Stefan, and he did not say a word to Winnie.
Was it true as Winnie said, Brian really gave up Winnie?
But he at least apologized to Winnie and proved her innocence.
Stefan looked at Winnie, distressed, afraid that she would be sad.
“Winwin...”
"Stefan, I will pretend I heard nothing. I know you're coming to my rescue, but don't joke like that
again."
Winnie said. For her, Brian’s ignorance was not strange, but Stefan's indirect confession made her
have headache.
"I mean what I say, and all you heard is from my heart. I'm not bailing you out. I'm taking chances for
myself. I don't mean it in jest. I mean it from my heart."
"Winwin, for the record. I......"
"Stop.... Don't say it. I'm a woman with two children, I have an aunt, a sister and debt. You're not right
with me."
Winnie did not give Stefan the chance to say it out, it was burden for her and she could not stand it.
"I know everything about you, children, aunt, sister and debt, it is not a problem. These are not my
criteria for judging love. I only see you."
"It's too early for you to say if we're right for each other. We need to try before we have the answer.”
Stefan knew Winnie had not walked out of the world of Brian, she stilled loved Brian.
But he did not care, he can use his heart to move Winnie.
Brian's love was so heavy, he wanted to give her a light love, let her feel different love. Although there
was no full grasp of getting Winnie, he must strive for it.
"Don't make fun of me. It's an impulse. You'll figure it out when you're past that stage. Stefan, don't
forget that you are a single bachelor who has never been married. If you want to marry, many girls like
you, I can't match you and will drag you down."
"Well, don't say anything. It's impossible between us. You need to adjust your impulses. I want us to be
best friends for life."
Winnie had a burden in her heart, but she had to easily say no. She and Stefan could not be together.
They were just in the same age, the rest were not match.
“Winwin...”
"Stop it, ok? Aren’t you going to treat me to hot pot? If you say it again, I will leave."
Winnie must let the topic stop. She had made it clear.
Stefan did not go on. He knew Winnie was a stubborn person. She would turn and leave if he
continued. Take it slow, he believed he could do it well.
Winnie finished eating before she came home.
What happened today made her tired, and what disappointed her was Brian’s attitude. Although she
did not want to get back together with Brian, although Brian's attitude was good for their relationship,
Winnie felt that he should at least say sorry, even if it was perfunctory.
However, Brian was not willing to do it and she could only sigh.
She felt her heart painful. Even if her heart was stabbed to death, no one could care. Maybe Brian
thought she was strong enough, that she could take it.
Winnie really was not so strong. She only had a heart. Her heart was made of flesh and blood, if it was
injured, it would bleed or even die.
