Winnie was so moved that she couldn't say a word, and at that moment, everyone's eyes were on
Brian, waiting for an attitude from him.
Brian had been silent in listening to the conversation of several women, now everyone was looking at
him and he knew what everyone was looking at him for. But he knew that Winnie was not giving him a
chance by saying these words, but was denying him and telling him that it was impossible to marry him.
Brian raised his eyes to look at Winnie, but Winnie averted her eyes.
Brian knew that Winnie couldn't forgive him so far, but he still had to express himself.
"Winwin, if you agree ......"
"Brian, I want to go see the kids, are you going back to the suburbs?"
Winnie directly interrupted Brian's words, because she was afraid that her refusal would make Brian
embarrased.
She knew that Brian wanted to say that if she agreed he would marry her, but she didn't dare to marry
and couldn't marry him. She couldn't let her one-sided love and two kids affect Brian's career and life.
"Yes, let’s go back together."
After Brian finished speaking and turned back to say goodbye to Leo, he left together with Winnie.
After exiting the ward and walking for a while, Winnie stopped in her tracks.
"I drove here, and I assume you drove too. We'll drive over separately."
After Winnie said that, she continued walking towards the front.
"I didn't drive here. Albert dropped me off and then went on a date. I can't call him over at this hour."
Brian answered Winnie.
His car was indeed not there because he saw Winnie's car in the parking lot. Knowing that she was
here, Brian deliberately asked Albert to drive the car away.
No matter how things would go, he had to create the opportunity first.
"Take a cab, there are plenty of cabs out there."
Winnie was helpless. Brian used this lame move every time. It showed that he was avoiding the
problem or didn't care about her feelings.
"I have no cash, no phone."
Since Brian made preparation, he made it perfectly. His phone was taken away by Albert, and he never
carried a single cent of cash.
In this condition, he didn't believe Winnie could let him walk back.
"You ......"
Winnie was to be angry, but she held back because they were in the hospital.
Without speaking, she continued to walk forward, her steps picking up little by little with her anger.
She knew she just couldn't be ruthless with Brian, if she could turn a blind eye to Brian, she might have
ended this painful ordeal long ago.
Winnie let Brian drive, and the two of them went to the suburbs together.
Along the way, Brian had been looking for a chance to explain what happened last time, but he did not
do so. He was afraid that if he did that, Winnie wouldn't even go to the suburbs.
So not a word was spoken by the two on this journey, it was so quiet that all that could be heard was
the sound of the car scraping against the road.
In the suburbs, Winnie politely greeted Rufus, and then took the two kids back to their rooms. She
hadn't seen them for a week, and she wanted to find out what had happened to her kids this week, to
know how they got along with their classmates and teachers.
"I won't ask much about your studies, I only want you to study work and to be responsible for yourself."
"Tell me what funny things happened to you at school this week, and if anything unpleasant happened."
Winnie wanted to see the child's ability to cope and their way of solving things through some things.
The kids were too young to discern between right and wrong things and must tell the parents to help.
Those were right should be praised and encouraged, and those were wrong must be corrected.
"Mom, we've had a pretty good week, we've met a lot of new friends and the teachers have been pretty
nice to us. It's just that when we talk to our new friends, they always talk about family, and every time
we talk about that, brother and I have nothing to say."
Megan started to answer quite easily, but later on, she couldn't help but fell into a low mood.
Winnie just wanted to talk to them, but she ignored the fact that they would encounter such problems.
"Why? You can tell them the true Mom and Dad have broken up. It's a long life and you can't always
hide from these problems, right?"
Winnie knew that the kid's silence was to avoid the matter, that they did not have the courage to speak
such a fact for fear of ridicule from their classmates.
Yet that was the fact, and they could not change it whether they had the courage or not.
"Mom, we're not avoiding it, we're hoping that you and Dad will still give us a home."
That was what Megan really thought. She just couldn't believe or resign herself and her brother to
being like that. Their desire for a family had always been clear and unambiguous, and they had held on
to it.
Winnie felt even worse mentally when she heard that.
She could give the kids anything they wanted, but a complete home.
Even if she could bear everything, she could continue to accept the torment that Brian gave, she was
just a mistress. It was not a complete family that would be more shameful to the two kids if their
classmates knew about it.
"Megan, Luke ......"
Winnie wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with the two kids, and just then Brian pushed the door in,
with a cup of coffee in his hand.
"Winnie, have a cup of coffee."
Brian said and placed the coffee on the table next to Winnie.
"What did you say to mom? If you have a problem, you can tell her and get her opinion."
Brian asked the two kids.
The three were talking in the room, and Brian had been wanted to get involved, which was why he had
gotten coffee as an excuse to walk in.
"We did, but she doesn't give advice."
Luke finally opened his mouth, and he had the same idea as Megan, not talking about the family no
matter who asked. It was not that he didn't dare to face it, but he wanted to give Mom and Dad a
chance to give him a complete family.
"What did you say? How could Mom not give advice?"
Brian looked at them with a curious face, for he hadn't guessed what they had said.
"We are afraid to talk about our family in front of our classmates. We want you to give us a home."
Megan said in a firm attitude, as if they could not say no.
Brian suddenly showed an apologetic look when he heard such a question.
This was what the kids had always wanted and he had promised then that he would do it. It was just
that there had been no progress at all so far, and he had to be sorry.
"Megan, Luke. This is something dad and mom are going to talk about, and you guys shouldn't stress
mommy out. How about this, you guys tell mom what you have encountered this week that you can't
solve, and then dad and mom will talk about that problem."
That was all Brian could answer, and there was no way to keep all his promises to the kids without
Winnie nodding her head in agreement.
The two kids looked at each other, and Brian thought that the two kids had listened to his words. But in
the very next moment the two kids made a decision.
"We both can solve our problems, and we don't have anything else to talk to mom."
"Dad, you have the time. I'm going out with my brother."
After the two kids finished speaking, they simply opened the door and left, leaving only Winnie and
Brian in the room.
"I don't have anything to talk about, I'll go first."
Winnie was not prepared for this sudden situation, and for a moment, she didn't know how to face
Brian, so she could only choose to leave.
Brian had been waiting for this opportunity for a week, and he wasn't going to let Winnie leave just like
that.
"Winwin."
While calling out to Winnie, Brian had already blocked the way out.
"Brian, what happened between us was made clear last time, there's no need to talk about anything."
"It's late, I'm worried about Vanessa, I'll go back first."
Winnie spoke flatly, making herself look calm.
"I was wrong, I shouldn't have talked to you in that manner. I remembered that day ......"
"I get it. You have your own reasons for whatever you did, and whatever I did was an act of being
brainless, so you don't have to apologize, you were not wrong."
Winnie couldn't listen to it, and didn't want to repeat that day over and over again.
She had been more miserable than Brian, but Brian could only see his own wounds, but not hers.
Since so, the so-called apology was perfunctory, without any hint of sincerity.
"Winnie, come on, can we talk it over and work it all out?"
Brian was helpless. Every time he spoke, Winnie didn't give him the chance to say the whole sentence,
and every time he tried to explain, she wouldn't listen to him. He knew he was wrong, but he had to be
given a chance to admit his mistake.
"There is nothing between the two of us, I don't think there's anything to talk about."
Back when Brian saw the video of Winnie getting a room, he had already put an end to the lewd
relationship between the two of them. He had clearly drawn the line between the two of them a long
time ago. Winnie really couldn't figure out what else needed to be said between them.
"Winnie, no matter what you say, no matter how you reject me, we both need a chance to talk. If you
don't talk to me today, I'll wait until tomorrow. If you don't talk to me tomorrow, I'll wait for the day after. I
want that chance even if I have to wait ten years."
Brian had to make his attitude clear seeing that Winnie rejected him. In other words, he would keep
pestering Winnie if she didn't give him a chance to talk.
"I owe you, right? Okay, let's talk. Talk today, talk now. But Brian, I have one request. After we talk
today, please don't pester me again."
Winnie realized that if she didn't give Brian a chance to talk, he would pester her.
In that case, let him talk about it today.
