Winnie looked at Leo with a smile. Since she met Leo, she had never seen Leo being so helpless,
which was quite pitiful.
It seemed that he really loved Emily, or he would not change his mood because of Emily.
"It is normal, whatever changes during pregnancy are normal and she will be ok by the time the baby is
born."
"But Emily, control yourself, Leo has a good temper, but now he was helpless now."
Winnie said jokingly. If Leo could not insist, Emily would be sad.
"I don't think I am affected by the pregnancy. Winwin, did you react this way when you were pregnant?"
Emily asked Winnie, confused. She did have hot temper and she had uncertain mood recently. But she
didn't think it was about pregnancy.
"Yes, but you can take it all out on Leo, and I have no one to vent out. My family suffered an accident,
my sister was ill at the time, so I have to overcome it all by myself."
She accidentally talked about her experience and forgot that Brian was around.
At that time, she had been suffering and only her aunt cared about her, and she had to work every day.
"Oh, I'm histrionic compared to you."
Emily once again felt Winnie that had had a hard time.
Should she cherish Leo and give him the opportunity?
"Women should be histrionic and should be loved by men."
She did have a hard time, but she made it through. She did not know how she did it, but she knew
there was no a man to help her.
On the contrary, all her discomforts were brought to her by a man. She might not be suitable for men in
this life.
"I am sorry."
Winnie’s words made Brian feel guilty and spoke out this sentence.
He could take good care of Winnie, but he had hurt her.
He felt ashamed and wanted to make it up for her.
Winnie did not expect Brian to chime in. She was stunned and then gave an ironic smile.
"Thank you, but I can live without a man."
Winnie refused, thinking he did not love her.
"Leo, talk with Emily, I won’t affect your love."
Winnie returned to the original topic. Now the first task was to make Emily and Leo together as soon as
possible. As for her, there was nothing to talk about.
Leo left with Emily. Winnie and Brian sent them to downstairs.
"Wait here. I'll go up and get the kids."
Winnie obviously wanted Brian to leave.
"Winwin, don’t you want to talk to me? Let's go to the park and talk."
It was still early and Brian did not want to leave, so he wanted to have a talk. They both knew what they
would talk about.
"Ok, let's go to the park."
The park was just outside the community of Winnie. The lights were on and many young couples were
there.
Winnie felt she did not fit in looking at those couples.
"Sit down."
Winnie and Brian sat down on a chair.
Brian was silent, enjoying the quietly walking with Winnie.
Seeing that he was silent, Winnie thought he was still resistant to the topic, so she opened her mouth.
"Mr. Bennet..."
"Can you not call me that?"
Brian’s thought was pulled back by her address.
He looked at Winnie with love in his eyes, but there was grievance in Winnie’s eyes.
Winnie dare not look at Brian, for his eyes had a great magnetic field, which would suck her in.
Winnie did not want to call her that, but there was no better address for their relationship.
Winnie looked away, ignored the requirements of Brian.
"Well, Mr. Bennet, I don't care what happened between you and your father. But he treated me and
Vanessa like his own kids, so I couldn’t let him feel depressed.”
Winnie was obviously telling Brian, she did that was not for him but Rufus.
"Since you did not do that for me, we don't need to talk about it."
Brian got up and left, showing his attitude deliberately. He wanted Winnie to admit that she was good
for him.
However, it did not work.
"Brian Bennet, if you dare leave, I promise you will never see me again."
Winnie called Brian by his full name, threatening Brian.
Brian stopped his pace, motionless, with his back to Winnie. But he felt better from the fact that Winnie
changed her address.
"You always say you can do it. If you go, I'll show you what I can do."
Winnie threatened him again, as her voice just fell, Brian obediently sat back to the original position.
"Winnie, including my mother my sister, no woman dare to threaten me like this, you are the only one."
It was true, but he was willing to be threatened by Winnie.
"When did you learn sweet words, it a new way though."
Winnie sneered, dare not believe that Brian would say so.
"I'm telling the truth."
Brian was unconvinced. He changed a lot because of Winnie, but Winnie did not find it.
"Come to the point, let's talk about your father."
Winnie felt, since Brian did not go, they should face to the problem.
"I'm not going to ask you anything specific. Just tell me how you can forgive your father."
Winnie asked directly, because Brian would not tell her what had happened.
"Shall I tell you what I really think?"
Brian was serious. Since he agreed to have a talk, he should show his own attitude.
"Yes, tell me what you really think."
Winnie felt that to know what he really thought lead to the key to the problem.
"That woman jumps off the building in front of me. I want her kids to suffer for twenty years as my sister
and I did."
Brian said, looking at Winnie. At this moment, his eyes were filled with hatred and ruthlessness. He
held all his hatred and the sight of his mother's death in his cold eyes.
He wanted revenge all these years.
Winnie could see the hatred in the eyes of Brian, but she felt it was a kind of pain bind himself.
Winnie knew that he could not forget the picture of his mother's tragic death, and that he was struggling
in pain at the moment.
Winnie was sorry for Brian, so she wanted to help him. She reached out her hand and put it on his
clenching fist.
She just wanted to give him some comfort, to ease his resentment.
Winnie's hand was a good medicine, as she touched Brian, his heart immediately melted and hatred
slowly weakened.
He unclenched his fist and grasped Winnie's hand. His forearms propped up in his legs, his head in his
hands.
"Winwin, no one knows how I have been through for more than 20 years, and no one knows when I
can’t sleep at night and think about my mother."
"The moment my mother left, I had nothing and I was no longer a child. I was a teenager and I had to
grow up overnight."
"Every time I see my mother in my dream, her head is cracked and her face is bloody, I will be scared
into a cold sweat and wake up..."
"Stop it, stop it. It's not your fault. You should not suffer from this."
Brian was about to break it, Winnie embraced him and stopped him from continuing.
"I know how you feel. You may feel better when you hear my story."
Winnie tightly embraced Brian. She wanted to tell him what happened to her, so that Brian could be
better.
"It's hard to accept the way your mother died, but you still have your father and grandfather. However
your relationship is, they are your family."
"Both my father and mother died. We tried to save my mother, her hair was gone, her face was covered
in bruises, and she had bruises all over her legs."
Winnie was sad to think of that, but in order to ease Brian's mood, she had to say it.
"But she was better than my father. My father’s belly was open with his intestines exposed... His face
and body were covered in blood, and his head was about to drop..."
