Winnie was really afraid of the assurance of Brian, because she got disappointment again and again.
She was tortured to death by such fruitless promises. She couldn't believe it any more.
"Go ahead, it won't taste good if it gets cold. I can eat it with a fork."
"Eat, the kids wait anxiously."
Winnie urged, and pushed back Brian’s hand with noodles.
She said she was not angry, but she did not feel comfortable. She hated herself to be like this.
However, she could not control this kind of emotion when she was only with Brian, and she would not
have such sad feeling with others.
She was really angry when Leo did that to her, but after a long time, she felt nothing. But when she
thought of what happened between Brian and her, she felt sad.
Leo took Emily to the hospital for examination.
Emily had severe morning sickness she could only eat light food, so Leo took her to eat some
vegetables and porridge.
"Emily, eat more, your stomach is empty. Only by eating more can you gain strength."
Leo said while helping Emily with food.
Although Emily still did not forgive him, her attitude towards her was better than before.
She did not hide from him and did not drive him away. Leo felt that everything was going well.
"I'll do it myself."
Leo helped Emily with a lot of food. She was embarrassed by his meticulous care, but she enjoyed it.
"Leo, the child... I'm still thinking about it. Don't blame me if I decide to abort it. I have my own ideas."
Emily was afraid that Leo had too much hope for the child, so she had to remind him and let him be
ready. After all, she hadn't made a final decision about the child.
"I... I don't blame you. But I want you to keep it. Even if you don't love me, even if you hate me, it is
innocent. If you think it will affect your life when it is born, you can give it to me, and I will certainly bring
him up."
"The bottom line is that having abortion will have a huge impact on your health. Emily, think about it,
think about the child, and think about me."
Leo could not object, after all, Emily had the right to decide. But he really wanted to have this child, if
Emily had abortion, it proved that Emily had given up on him and no longer loved him.
It the child was gone, their love would be away.
"I don't so. I want to bring up this child myself, even if I give birth to it. And..."
"You want to be a single parent? Emily, am I so annoying to you?"
Leo did not know when he should say or do to change Emily’s mind.
Everything looked good, but it wasn't perfect.
"You're not annoying, you're the perfect man for a lot of women. Leo, the problem is me."
Emily felt that she was going crazy. She told herself not to tangle with things before, but she just could
not do it. She felt Leo's feelings were not true and that he was deceiving her.
"There is nothing wrong with you, it is with me. It is all my fault. I shouldn't have lied to you. I am not fit
to love you, much less to be the father of a child."
"Emily, you can do what you want about the child. I respect that."
Leo suddenly became depressed, but he still felt that no matter who had the child, there would be hope
if it could be given birth.
Emily was nervous to see that. She felt distressed, and she dare not say anything to hurt him.
How should she do to let everything calm down and not to hurt this man?
Winnie was taken back to the suburbs by Brian after buying school supplies with the kids.
When she got the suburbs, she found that Stella and Joshua were there too. It looked like a family
reunion. Winnie felt she was an outsider to that.
Winnie, Brian and Joshua and Stella sat in the courtyard, chatting together.
Winnie felt embarrassed as an outsider.
"Stella, you look much better, do you still have morning sickness?"
Winnie asked with concern, so that she would be less embarrassed.
"Yes, but much better. I can’t eat oily and spicy food.”
Stella answered in a good mood, for there would be a new life coming into her life.
"You can eat food in a few days."
Winnie had been there. Although people had different reaction, there was no big difference. Every
woman would experience that.
"Yes."
"By the way, Winwin, how long is your business trip going to take?"
Stella asked, so as to judge what grandpa was worried about.
"Well, it should be one month, but now one month is not enough, there will be another month.”
Winnie felt wrong to lie, but she could not expose her work.
"Not going well at work? Why there is another month?"
Stella continued. If she stayed longer, her grandpa's worry would come true.
"There are some things that are not handled well and they have to be extended."
"Now that I have Rufus to take care of my kids, I am quite relieved even if I'm out. I will fly back on
weekends to see the kids. I used to see them once a week when I am home."
"The kids have got used to it and they have a good life even if I am not around."
Winnie said deliberately to Brian. She wanted him to know that she was free now, she would not tie by
the kids and she would not change anything because of him.
"It's better for the kids to be with their mother. They don't say it, but they still want to be with you. It is
safer for them to stay here, but after this period, you should take them back for education, or they will
be spoiled by their grandfather."
Stella was afraid Brian really had no chance once Winnie left the kids here.
"I will give it consideration."
As Winnie's voice just fell, Raya came to Stella.
"Stella, your father asks you where you put his thing."
"What is it? I'll go and have a look."
Stella went into the house with Raya.
At the same time, Brian was called away by two kids who were playing. Only Winnie and Joshua were
left in the pavilion.
Taking this opportunity, Joshua asked.
"Winwin, did you talk to Brian?"
Winnie took a look at Brian’s direction before answering Joshua's question.
"Yes, but nothing worked out."
Winnie felt that Brian did not change.
"I think he will listen to you. Did he lose his temper when you talked about it?"
Joshua was not in a hurry. It was at the beginning, so it was normal for Brian to have any reaction.
"No, he said no one could understand his mother. He's very stubborn about this. I don't seem up to the
task."
Winnie wanted to retreat, since she did not have the ability.
"Don't give up, Brian was not angry. When he listens to you and asks questions, it's already a change."
"Winwin, in the past, no matter who mentioned it in his presence, he will act like a maniac. But now his
attitude is better. That's the change. Don't give up. Keep talking to him. I'm sure he'll figure it out."
Joshua and Winnie understood things differently. Joshua, who had seen the worst of Brian, now saw
his change.
And Winnie accompanied Brian during the process he changed, so she might not feel anything.
"Well, I can't take credit for them. Maybe with age and maturity, he understands some things. Joshua, I
really have no confidence in this task, and I don't want to keep in touch with him."
"We broke up, and I don't want people judging our relationship."
Winnie lost confidence, for she could not control her emotions as Brian was in front of her.
She didn't know what she was doing or saying, she was like an idiot.
"Winwin, I told you from the beginning, we're doing this for Dad. Don't care what people say, but stick to
your original intention."
“I know that you have awkward relationship with Brian, but it is getting over. If you have no feelings for
each other, you will get used to it."
Joshua had been insisting that Winnie was the only one who could change Brian.
"You saw Dad's mood. Do you think he's the same as he was before? Do you want him to be
depressed? When old people are unhappy, all kinds of diseases will come to them. Winwin, please,
keep trying for that sake of Dad takes care of the kids."
In order to make Winnie say yes, he tried so hard, but he knew Winnie would not refuse.
"Joshua, you really put me in an awkward position... Well, I'll talk to him sometime."
Winnie did not refuse, because she did not want Rufus to be depressed. However, she must continue
to face Brian.
