Brian knew that he had to threaten her, or he could not control Winnie.
"If you don't go to the hospital, I will go directly to Penny’s. I can make her disappear immediately."
"Again, you'll only threaten me, do you have new tricks?"
Winnie was angry but dare not be arrogant, afraid that Brian would do so.
"You made me, if you have taken care of yourself, I will not do so. I am not threatening, I will keep my
words."
Hearing that, Brian knew Winnie would not be persistent.
"Brian, you are a president of a famous company, but you use such dirty means, don’t you feel
shameless?"
Winnie resisted, but she knew he would indeed keep his words.
"I stand by my own woman and I don’t feel shameless."
For this woman, he could even go to hell, let alone this.
"I am not your woman, go somewhere else."
Winnie said weakly. She felt familiar with Brian’s behavior today, as they met at the very beginning. He
was aggressive, and she could feel he was kind.
When they knew at first, he, being contemptuous and domineering touched her heart. Like time went
back, she was touched again.
"It's not up to you. I know where my woman is."
Brian took a look at Winnie and then shut his mouth.
He was satisfied that she could go obediently with him to the hospital, so he should stop at the right
time.
She just had contusion. In the hospital, she applied with medicine before she left with Brian.
Brian took her to a noodle shop.
"Get off, we will have some food and then go to pick up the kids."
Brian said coldly. He knew only in this way Winnie would be obedient.
"I'm not hungry."
Winnie did not want to eat with Brian, but she was really hungry.
"I'm hungry, and when I was about to eat, you had an accident, so I came out immediately. Do you want
me to starve to death? Get off, or I will hold you down."
Brian knew by this way, Winnie would do as he required.
Winnie said nothing, she got off the car when she heard that Brian hadn’t had food yet.
They had been in this noodle shop. Because Winnie said it was delicious, Brian took her here. He was
not hungry and could endure a whole day without food. But Winnie was frightened and she needed
food to calm herself down.
Two people sat down at a table. Not waiting for Winnie to say a word, Brian had ordered the food.
"Does it still hurt?"
Brian’s tone finally eased down.
"Better."
Winnie whispered, though it was still in pain.
"Go home for a rest and buy school supplies with kids tomorrow."
Brian was worried, for fear that she accidentally hurt it again. And “home” he said referred to the
suburbs.
"It's okay. I can go with them today."
Winnie did not want to let the kids down. She could endure the pain of the fingers.
"I... What did you think about what I told you last time?"
Winnie changed the topic, but Brian was confused.
"What?”
Brian did not know what she meant.
"To ease your relationship with your father and change your address to him."
Winnie wanted to see if she could succeed in persuading Brian as Joshua said.
Brian’s face changed, but he was neither angry nor anxious.
"Eat, I don't want to talk about it now."
Brian did not want to talk about it and got the tableware ready while he said that.
"How long are you going to escape it, until you father dies? Do you think you and your father can be
father and son in the next life?"
Winnie continued. Just as Joshua said, this issue must be put on the table, so that it could be solved.
However, as Brian has been avoiding this matter, let alone for a lifetime, even in the next life, father and
son may not be able to solve the knot in his heart.
"Winwin, I'm not escaping..."
"Did I meddle with it? I do not understand, and you have never regarded me as a close person. You
have always kept things from me."
"I can understand, after all, there is no need for you to tell me in detail. But think of your father, He's
spent his whole life atoning for it, and you want him to take it till he dies."
"It's none of your business... I...... I'm not saying you should leave it alone, but there's a lot I can't
explain."
Hearing Winnie’s words, Brian was nervous. If his father died, what was the meaning of his
oppression?
"How you can explain it, who you want to talk to?"
Winnie knew he did not want to talk to her, and she would like to help to find this person for him to talk
to.
"You."
"I can only say to you."
Brian's answer was sincere, but it was not comprehensive.
He wanted to tell Winnie everything about him, but he had not decided what to do.
"It's my pleasure, since you want to tell me, tell me then."
Winnie did not believe what Brian said, but she had to say so.
She did not care what the content was, she just wanted him to feel better. She wanted to know what
the problem was, so that she could offer help.
"No."
Brian went back on his word again.
"You're confusing me, or you're just perfunctory to me. What do you want?"
Winnie could not calm down as he said that.
"Come home with me and I'll tell you. If you forgive me, I'll call him Dad. I'll let go of everything that
happened before if you marry me."
Brian used this condition in exchange.
Winnie glared at Brian, speechless. She did not expect Brian to come up with this condition.
"What? You don't believe me? I will do what I say. We can have it notarized, witnessed."
Brian was absolutely sincere, not quid pro quo, but stating the facts. If Winnie forgave him and married
him, he would rather give up everything he had before.
“These are two different things. Don't mix them. You have to let go so that everyone can live together
without barriers. This quid pro quo only means you can’t let it go."
"Don't deceive yourself. I advise you to sit down with your father and talk things over. Maybe there's
something you don't know."
"Talk it all out and it will be settled."
Winnie did not agree with everything that Brian said, even if she agreed to the conditions of Brian, it
would not solve the problem. Both Brian and his father still did not let the past go.
"Who will be responsible for my mother's death?"
Brian became serious. The crux and center of the matter lay in the question he raised. If his mother
hadn't been death because he father had an affair, he would not hate his father, that woman, and even
her family.
His mother died for their love, so who was responsible for her death?
"See, you still can't let go. That's why I said the deal you just made with me is a lie. You never forgot
your hatred for that family."
"Eat, or you let go, or torture that family when they show up."
Winnie stopped the topic, though she was disappointed.
He had his resentment for years, and it was impossible to let it all go at once. He needed to find a way
to let go of it.
Winnie was upset at this moment. He could understand the reaction of Brian, but once again it proved
that he was not as important as Joshua said.
When Winnie started eating noodles, she realized her fingers couldn't hold chopsticks.
"You are trying to embarrass me, right? I can’t use chopsticks with my left hand."
Winnie spoke out her dissatisfaction and vented her anger out.
"I'll feed you."
Brian ignored that, but he felt that this was his chance.
Brian stretched his chopsticks into the bowl of Winnie, and then sent the noodles to Winnie's mouth.
"Forget it, I'll eat it with a fork."
She wanted to vent out her anger, but, never mind, why should she do that? Why had he had to bear
her bad temper?
Winnie stretched out to take a fork, refused to eat the noodles that Brian gave her.
"Are you angry? I promise..."
“Don't promise me, don't promise me anything. I'm afraid you'll say it. And I'm not angry. I don't have to
be angry because it's not about me."
Winnie decisively interrupted another assurance of Brian.
Winnie spoke out her dissatisfaction and vented her anger out.

"Are you angry? | promise..."
“Don't promise me, don't promise me anything. I'm afraid you'll say it. And I'm not angry. | don't have to
be angry because it's not about me."
Winnie decisively interrupted another assurance of Brian.
