"Vanessa, don’t say that."
"It is a happy day. let's congratulate Stella and Joshua."
Winnie raised a glass, stopped Vanessa from speaking.
The kids were so big, it was meaningless to mention what happened before. If Brian didn't care about
her, how could he care about her past?
And Vanessa said that to Brian. She wanted Brian to know that her sister had paid too much and
should not be treated like that for the sake of the kids.
And Brian heard it and felt guilty.
Winnie had a hard time since she met him and there was no any change until now. The quality of life
had been improved, but the damage to her was getting worse.
It inspired Brian that Winnie must be protected. He must have her and made it up for her.
Felix and Rufus were shocked, they did not expect Winnie had such a hard time. Rufus, in particular,
felt increasingly guilty because he knew where all this had come from.
After Winnie proposed, the topic was back on track.
Winnie drank for a while and then helped barbecue, took care of two children. Then Brian followed her.
"Winwin."
Brian called Winnie from behind.
"Yes."
Winnie looked back to see Brian, her face immediately became gloomy.
"I didn't expect the conditions to be so difficult when you gave birth. I......"
Brian just wanted to express his concern, but Winnie did not want to mention the past.
"We used to have cooperation. My condition was none of your business. Go and accompany everyone.
Your sister is having a happy event today. Don't let you affect her mood."
Winnie turned round. If her condition was not so bad, how could she be willing to give Luke to Brian?
If she had not sent Luke back, they didn't have to meet again in this life.
Alas...... Fate had arranged so many sufferings for her, and Brian had been arranged to torture her.
Who could change it and bear it for her?
"We can not mention the past, can we talk about the present?"
What Winnie said made Brian nervous, they did have a cooperation, but in those years, he had feelings
for her, or he would not had extra days
"Now, now there is nothing to talk about. It used to be a relationship of buying and selling, but now
there is no relationship Between us.."
"Go ahead and congratulate Stella."
Winnie again let Brian leave, speaking of the past made Winnie feel more sad.
In the past, she had no feelings for Brian, and she didn't think it was shameful to sell herself. And now
she suddenly realized that all the disrespect she'd been feeling was because she was a surrogate and
she sold herself for money.
She didn't blame anyone for letting her past be so inferior. Since so, she should not be afraid of being
treated differently by others and of being picky and distrusted by Brian.
But why didn't any of them, especially Brian, ask her what had happened to her and why she had to
sell herself.
In such a long time with Brian, Brian never asked about her past and her family affairs. It was not love,
it was not care.
Winnie now felt that everything about her was false, not real.
On the other hand...
Winnie was concerned about Brian and understood her. But what did she know? If she understood him,
she could know who he loved, and it would not have ended like this.
Did he love Wendy or Gloria? Or did she think about Klara or the girl who saved him from the accident?
Brian had to leave for fear of provoking Winnie. Not for a long time, Winnie felt someone standing
behind her, she thought it was still Brian and wanted to get rid of him.
"I asked you... Chairman, sorry, I thought it was Brian."
Winnie hurriedly apologized, almost vent her temper on Felix.
"Director Chambers, let them do the work. Come aside and talk with me."
Felix said calmly, his words could not be heard by to many people, so he asked Winnie out.
"Ok, let's go over there."
Winnie put down what she was holding and then walked to one side with Felix. At this moment, Brian
stopped Felix from behind.
"Talk to me, Grandpa."
Brian was nervous, afraid that Felix would make a hard time for Winnie.
"You can eat your food at ease, I am not a tiger can eat people."
Felix’s meaning was very obvious. He would not make a hard time for Winnie and Brian did not need to
protect her.
In the past, Winnie would tell Brian not to worry, but not she would not say another word.
Winnie did not even look at Brian, followed Felix to a shady place.
There were two wooden chairs in the shade, but they were a little shorter than the usual ones.
"Sit down, Chairman."
Winnie stretched out her hand to help Felix sit down, because the chair was a little shorter, Winnie
must help Felix sit down to ensure his safety.
And Felix did not refuse Winnie's kindness, and gave his arm to Winnie.
The scene was watched by all the people sitting at dinner.
"Dad, grandpa's attitude toward Winwin seems to have changed a lot. If he did not like her, he would
not give his arms to her. And just now he kicked out Uncle Thomas and Aunt Maria because of her."
Stella fixed her eyes on grandpa and Winnie, and felt that grandpa's attitude had a great change.
If so, Winnie and Brian had a lot of hope.
"Well, I see it. It's better to change his attitude."
Rufus also found it, but he was still worried.
"I don't know whether their relationship is good or not. When he is tired of eating at home, he would go
to Winwin's house and ask Winwin to cook food for him."
"Sometimes two drinks. It looks like a good relationship, but Grandpa still can't accept Winwin. I can't
figure out how grandpa feels, why he's always looking for Winwin."
Brian didn't understand what the relationship was between the two people, and did not understood why
Winnie could accept grandpa’s way of getting along with her.
"Grandpa went to Winwin's for dinner?"
Stella was surprised to hear that.
"Yes, Winwin told me and I saw that."
Brian was sure it was true.
"In that case, I'm sure grandpa's change is real. Grandpa needs time to change bit by bit. Brian, you
can pursue Winwin with your heart. Grandpa will surely accept it."
Stella was very sure that grandpa did not change himself for anyone for so many years, did not change
his attitude for anything. Things he decided would never change, and if he accepted Winwin, it would
be the first compromise in grandpa's life.
"I can't even look forward to it, in case Grandpa does something again."
Brian did not dare to look forward to it because he was afraid of disappointment, afraid that his grandpa
would not accept Winwin.
"Don't worry about your grandfather. Just get Winwin back."
Rufus reminded Brian again. In fact, he did not dare to have any hope, just go step by step, try to
overcome difficulties. .
"Yes, don't mind grandpa, and try your best to get Winwin back."
Stella also persuaded, now the focus was not on the grandfather. Whether he promised or not, it would
change the Brian’s determination to pursue Winnie.
"By the way, Brian, I can't keep an eye on Uncle Thomas for you. I want to rest for the whole
pregnancy. Find someone else."
Stella did not have too much energy now, now she just wanted to have a good tire and did not want to
be disturbed by anything.
"Ok, take care of yourself. I'll get someone to do it."
Brian said, but he was thinking about Winnie.
Under the tree.
"Chairman, am I here to make Uncle Thomas unhappy?"
Winnie asked, thinking about the unpleasant things just now.
"No, I let him go, and blame it on me if he wasn't happy."
"Director Chambers, what I want to talk to you today is about you and Brian."
He was ashamed to say what he was about to say, but he had to.
"There is nothing to talk about. I have told you. Don't worry, I will keep my promise."
Winnie had to guarantee. She thought Felix did not believe her, and he was uncertain, plus, she had
failed to keep her words, so Felix wanted her guarantee agian.
"It's not about the breakup."
Felix gave a short answer.
He believed that she would do that, so he wanted to have a talk with her.
“What is it then?”
Winnie asked with doubts.
“Alas, Please forgive Brian for the sake of the kids, and resume your previous relationship and live with
the kids and Brian."
Felix said rigorously. He wanted Winnie to be with Brian as a mistress.
Winnie was stunned to hear that, and she was surprised.
Brian had never put forward that he wanted to go back to her since they had broken up, but Felix
mentioned it now. Was it a test or did he think for the kids?
“Chairman, Brian and I are good now and the kids are good. We have broken up and we will not bring
troubles to you.”
“Do as what you want or let me leave with the kids, and he will be obedient to you.”
Winnie did not agree and she could not agree.
