Albert went on.
"She said that the Bennet Group will have no soul and no future without you. And you can't let go of the
expectations of your family. So she doesn’t want you in dilemma and she doesn’t want you to give up
your family for her."
"Mr. Bennet, I am talkative today. But Director Chambers is the only one of these women who's nice to
you. It's not about your money, your position or your family. She likes you for who you are."
"M. Bennet, don't lose her."
Albert had said enough, and he knew enough was enough. This was the first time that Brian had heard
him finish his speech.
Brian sighed before answering Albert's question.
"I'll get her back."
Although Winnie was still not willing to forgive him, Brian had the confidence to get her back and have
a happy life with her.
It was a lesson for him. He would always remember his mistake and never hurt Winnie again.
When Winnie got off the plane and got out of the exit, she saw Brian standing outside the exit. She
withdrew her eyes and tried to hide from Brian by pretending not to see him.
Although the sight of him reminded her of his embrace when they parted here, she still remembered
the difference between them and his distrust of her. Compared to these, embrace was insignificant.
"Winwin."
When Winnie bypassed Brian, she was stopped.
He stood in front of her, Winnie had to say hello.
"Are you here to meet someone? But I gotta go."
After that, Winnie once again was to bypass Brian.
"Winwin, I'm here to pick you up."
Brian blocked in front of Winnie.
"No need, I..."
Brian knew she would refuse him, so he felt unnecessary to listen to her.
"I know you have a car, but I parked it. It's probably late before you find your car in such a big parking
lot."
"I'll take you to the car."
Brian took Winnie's hand and walked outside the airport.
He was domineering, only in this way Winnie would not resist.
Winnie was pulled to the car, and gave her car key to Brian.
"I agreed to have lunch with the kids, and after lunch they want you to go with them to get school
supplies."
Brian broke the silence since Winnie was silent.
"I won't have lunch. Oscar and I have an appointment to go to Penny’s. And then I can go with them to
get their school supplies."
"I will go home first, Vanessa is waiting for me."
Winnie didn’t know the agreement of Brian and the kids and she had an appointment with Oscar first,
so probably the kids would be disappointed.
"Can you have dinner with them in the evening? Or the kids will be disappointed. They've been looking
forward to it all week. Take Vanessa with you. The kids miss her."
Brian wanted to get along with Winnie for more time, but he could not affect her normal arrangements,
so he got this plan.
"... All right, I will have dinner with the kids tonight. Vanessa... I'll ask her if she's ok with it."
Winnie said reluctantly, if there were only two kids and Vanessa, she would not hesitate. But Brian was
also in, she had to think about it, after all, it would be awkward.
"By the way, you'd better get your affairs in order before the dinner. Don’t leave in the mid or you will let
the kids down."
Winnie reminded him, afraid that Brian left again during the meal.
It didn't matter if she was disappointed or not, but she did not want her kids to be down.
"No, I won’t. Winwin, actually..."
"Good."
Winnie realized that Brian was to explain what happened before, so she interrupted his words.
Winnie felt it unnecessary.
It had nothing to do with her, since she could not interfere.
Winnie sat in the back and moved her eyes out of the window.
The man she loved was driving her home, but she felt they could never get close.
Well...She was really afraid of such a relationship and she would never touch it again.
"Winwin, can we talk about it sometime?"
Brian saw Winnie's mood change in the rearview mirror. He knew that Winnie would not listen to him.
"If it's about the kids, we can talk about it at any time. If not, I don't think it necessary. We are done, and
we can’t just live in the past."
Winnie refused. She knew what Brian wanted to say, nothing more than to explain. But the
misunderstanding wasn't the only reason they weren't together.
She could come up with one hundred reasons not to be together. It was not that she retreated but that
she dare not accept Brian again. She loved him, but she got nothing, and Brian was in a dilemma.
"Next time, Mr. Bennet, don't pick me up, just live your own life. Work hard and do what you have to
do."
That was all Winnie could say.
Winnie looked out of the window sadly. She felt heartache even she took a look at the back of Brian.
"You just give up? Do you give up because I made a hard choice between you and Grandpa, between
you and the Bennet Group?"
Brian had to ask. He was most afraid Winnie gave up.
Love was the most important for him now. A man should think for his woman, but it was Winnie
considered for him and made sacrifices.
He was so ashamed and felt distressed.
"I get bored now. No matter there is love between us, I feel meaningless. Actually, I don’t love you
anymore and there is no reason."
Winnie denied that she did it for Brian. Admitting it proved that she still cared about him and loved him.
Once he knew that she still loved him, he would laugh at her and would torture her even more.
"Winwin, even if you give up, I will not give up. As I said, I won't leave you in this life."
Brian’s heart ached when he heard such cruel words. But he knew that he should experience such
heartache.
"You are talkative. I don't know what you do to other people, but you failed your words to me. In such
case, stop saying that."
Winnie sneered, and then mentioned a matter.
"Oh, there will be at most one year to go for me to go abroad with the kids and Vanessa. You should be
ready to leave the kids. And I want you to keep your word that you promised me I have the custody of
the kids."
Winnie did not plan to say these, but she felt if she said it earlier, Brian would not waste time on her.
When she took the kids away, Brian resumed his freedom, without any obstacles, lived as he liked.
"Why do you want to leave again? Didn’t we agree the kids receive education in our country?"
Brian felt uneasy. He did not expect Winnie would have the idea of leaving. Was he pushing her too
hard? Did she really give up? Did grandpa threaten her again?
"Vanessa is in her last year of school and she wanted to study abroad. I have only one sister, so I will
go with her. As for the kids' education, I can hire tutors for them abroad."
None of these was a problem. If she wanted to leave, a reason was enough. But it took a lot of courage
and preparation to stay.
She had no perseverance in stick to it, no courage to choose the difficult road, so she’d better leave.
"I trust you to take care of the kids and you should take care of Vanessa, but if you leave me, how
should I live?"
Brian asked Winnie, although he was not calm, he still got time. After all, it was a year away, and he
could figure out a way to turn things around.
"That's your business, not mine."
Winnie forced the conversation to stop.
She wanted to leave with Brian too, but he did not belong to her, so all her ideas became unreal.
Winnie communicated with Vanessa when she got home, but Vanessa refused to eat out with him,
because she did not want to see Brian.
After asking Vanessa, Winnie remembered her appointment with Joshua. It was two hours from noon,
so they met in a cafe.
"You came alone? Where's Stella?"
Winnie hurried over, only to see Joshua was already there.
She was surprised to see Joshua alone.
"She is at home."
Joshua answered softly. He was a composed person.
"Is she all right?”
Winnie asked with worry.
"Yes, she got pregnancy sickness today. My parents are at home with her, don't worry."
