The two children looked at each other, feeling that what their father said was consistent with what they
thought. They had no way but to listen to Brian and prevent Winnie from thinking too much.
"Well, we got it."
"But Dad, do you have the confidence to chase mother back?"
Luke asked Brian uncertainly, his mother's resistance made him see no hope.
"Yes, I am very confident. Don't worry, your mom will come back to us."
Brian gave the answer with certainty He really didn't know why he was so sure after seeing Winnie's
attitude today.
Winnie didn't have any expectations for him. She was seriously hurt and had no way to go back. She
didn't explain anything even if she was misunderstood by Brian.
She was more dead than alive. It was extremely difficult for Brian to win her love again. But as long as
there was a little hope, as long as she still cared him, he would not give up, and would use all his
strength to chase her.
Even if Winnie didn't care him at all, he wouldn't like others and wouldn't marry others. He told
everyone that if Winnie didn't marry him, he wouldn't get married for life. He would definitely be able to
keep his words.
Wendy had been living alone in the villa where Brian gave her since she was driven out of the house by
her mother. There were memories about the children that made her collapse. Everything here was
torturing every nerve of her.
But she had to live here, because she had nowhere to go except here.
She was lying on the sofa in the living room on the first floor, and staring at the ceiling in a daze.
Regarding Brian's matter, she decided to fight for the last time, but she had not acted yet. What was
she worried about and what was she afraid of?
Wendy was thinking about Brian when her father walked in with a serious look.
"Dad, why are you here?"
Wendy sat up suddenly in shock.
"Why don't go to work or go home? Do you want to let yourself be dispirited?"
Not only did Alfred look serious, but even his voice sounded particularly harsh. He looked stern, which
made Wendy a little scared.
"Have you told Mom about my affair?"
Wendy asked timidly. At this moment, she had stood up. After her father was sitting on the sofa, she
moved a little back and sat down to keep her distance from him.
"Yes, that's why I came here."
"Wendy, we will talk about this later. I want to tell you that no matter what you encounter, no matter how
you feel, you cannot allow it to affect your work and study. This is a person's basic ability. If you can't do
these, how can you pursue Brian?"
Alfred's attitude was still strict. He came here today to show his attitude, that was, to tell Wendy to see
the facts.
"Dad, what do you mean by this? Do you support me in pursuing Brian?"
Wendy asked her father in surprise. She took her father's words as a hint and as a support for her.
"No, I have the same attitude as your mother, and I firmly oppose it."
Alfred's words poured out Wendy's hope, and it was also a very direct expression of his attitude.
Alfred continued spoke.
"Wendy, the words your mother said were a bit emotional, but she made sense. Who are you now?
What status are you now? Others don't the state of our family, but you should know it."
Alfred said, hoping that Wendy could wake up, hoping that she could see everything clearly.
"Wendy, we have the living standard we have today because of Brian's help. Even so, we are not as
good as Winnie."
Alfred said something very realistic. The situation of his family had been developing steadily and
upwards, but Winnie was developing rapidly. A project, a cooperation, plus the company shares that
she had exchanged for her ability, her financial resources and abilities had long surpassed the Yue
family.
In other words, Felix would choose Winnie instead of Wendy without hesitation.
"Dad, Winnie is nothing. As long as I work hard, I won't lose to her. And the conditions in her family are
not as good as you think. She has been dealing with the mess for so many years."
Wendy did not agree with his father. If Winnie had good conditions, Felix would have agreed to their
marriage.
"That's Winnie in your eyes. What you see is only the appearance. Also, you should see the facts
before talking. Don't just rant about it."
"As far as your current attitude towards life and work is concerned, your efforts will be in vain all your
life, and you can't keep up with Winnie. You underestimate Winnie. The greater the pressure she has,
the stronger her ability to work."
"A piece of software she researched out is worth millions or even hundreds of millions. She can easily
surpass our income for most of our life in one month or two months. You have to understand that we,
you, your mother and me, can't match her alone. Do you think she is incompetent?"
Alfred told Wendy all this plainly. For so long, he had never really talked to Wendy seriously, never had
a serious communication with her like today.
But today he must let Wendy understand everything and let Wendy stop quickly. If Wendy continued, it
would be herself that would be ruined.
"Dad, I am not as good as Winnie now, but I can work hard."
Wendy understood everything Alfred had said, but she just didn't want to admit it, and didn't want to
admit defeat.
"You have to recognize the facts at work, and you have to recognize the facts in emotional matters."
Alfred saw that Wendy was just stubborn and didn't want to admit it. In fact, she knew that her ability
was far inferior to Winnie.
Alfred continued speaking.
"You don't like Brian at all. You gave up Brian when you left with Jonny a few years ago, and it's too late
to regret it."
"Although you sent the child away, it is a fact that you have a child, and the past between you and
Jonny is also a fact. Do you think Brian will accept it? Why do he accept it? Because of loving you?"
"If he says he loves you now, would you believe it?"
Alfred pointed directly to the key point of the problem, and now he could only stimulate Wendy to wake
her up. Otherwise, Wendy would walk into the abyss and would be unable to go back.
However, Alfred was looking forward to waiting for Wendy's attitude to change, waiting for her to give a
different answer. But...
"I would."
Two extremely firm words were spit out by Wendy without hesitation, which made Alfred very
disappointed.
He frowned tightly, staring angrily at Wendy who was stubborn, wishing to slap her up. But he still
calmed down.
"Love you? This is a self-deceiving answer. Do you know that you are deceiving yourself"
"I believe that he used to love you. But his love for you has been squandered by you. You have
squandered it completely, leaving no room for yourself."
"Wendy, wake up. Brian has done his best to you, giving you money back and house, that's enough.
He doesn't like you long ago and doesn't care about you anymore."
Alfred wanted to make his words serious and earnest, but the anger in his heart couldn't be
suppressed.
Wendy in front of him was so stubborn and obsessed, as if she would never change her mind.
If she was not his daughter, he would laugh at her, he would have stood not far away and mocked her.
She was so obsessed with Brian that she was the only one who was embarrassed in the end.
"Dad, don't say any more, don't shake my determination. I assure you, this is the last time. If I don't
succeed this time, I will give up."
Wendy was also very entangled in saying this. She understood what her father said, but she didn't want
to believe it.
Even if Brian didn't love her, she didn't care. What she wanted was to be Mrs. Bennet, and what she
wanted was the feeling of beating Winnie.
"You... Wendy, Wendy, you can't listen to what I said. I have no other way. Your mother and I said
everything that should be said. Since you are still stubborn, we will leave you alone."
Alfred looked at his daughter angrily, then got up.
"From now on, your mother and I have nothing to do with you. You will go your own way. You can do it
yourself."
Alfred cruelly left these words and walked away angrily.
Wendy stared at the back of her father leaving in shock. She didn't expect that her father would cut off
relations with her. Only she knew how pitiful she was now.
Both her favorite parents and her favorite child had severed relations with her. At this moment, she was
the loneliest person in the world.
Winnie acted up to her promise. The next morning, she rushed to eat breakfast with her children, and
had lunch and dinner with her children.
Another day passed, and the weekend was here. On Saturday and Sunday, she could have fun with
her Megan and Luke.
At the playground.
They were tired from playing and sat on the chairs to rest for a while.
"Drink some water, it's too hot."
Brian said and handed a bottle of water to Winnie.
"Oh, thanks!"
Winnie just looked at the water bottle and took it directly, without looking up at Brian.
Winnie found out that Brian had unscrewed the bottle cap when she went to twist the bottle cap. At this
moment, there was too much emotion in her heart.
Brian had never done anything like this before, and had never petted her as a woman. Although it was
just a small act, it also expressed his concern.
It's just that his concern was late, and now Winnie didn't need his concern and care.
Winnie picked up the water bottle and took a sip. As soon as she put it down, Brian brought a tissue
and wiped her sweat.
Winnie ducked back subconsciously.
"I will do it myself."
Quickly taking the tissue from Brian's hand, Winnie wiped the sweat for herself in a panic.
Today's Brian made her be ill at ease.
She just wanted treated Brian as a friend, and both of them could be at ease. But why couldn't she
keep calm.
"What do you want to have for lunch? I can reserve a restaurant in advance."
Brian was a little embarrassed about Winnie's refusal. The way to alleviate the embarrassment was to
switch directly to the next topic.
"Ask Megan and Luke, I will treat you at noon."
Winnie still didn't look at Brian. She was not sure that there was no sentiment in her eyes.
"I want to eat... barbecue, okay?"
Megan couldn't wait to express her thoughts before her parents asked her.
