The next day was a weekend, Winnie went to Leo's company, to talk to Leo about work, but Leo was in
the hospital, so she could only discuss with the staff.
After the work at Leo's company was over, Winnie wanted to go see Penny, but was afraid that Brian
would really find someone to follow her and Brian would go there too.
After thinking about it, Winnie did not go there but went to the Public Security Bureau.
It was the weekend, and Winnie thought that the Public Security Bureau would be very quiet, so she
had a space to quietly develop her software, but she didn't expect Finn to be there too.
"When did you get back, I thought I was mistaken when I saw you on the first floor."
Finn walked into Winnie's office and asked.
"I came back yesterday morning, after meeting up with friends."
Winnie replied blandly, and then asked.
"It's the weekend, why are you here at work?"
"I have an emergency to take care of, but it is done."
"Are you free today? We can take our kids out?"
I was a rare opportunity like this for the kids to know each other, as agreed before.
"I need to talk to their father, the safety of the kids is important right now."
Winnie said with embarrassment. She was willing to take the kids out with Finn. It was just that the kids’
safety was the first thing she had to consider, in case something happened, she would regret it for the
rest of her life.
"Don't worry, if I can't guarantee your safety, I think it's time for me to give up my position as director."
Finn was confident about himself. Since he could ask them out, he would be able to protect them.
"But you should tell their father, so call him now."
Finn said politely and turned to leave, but Winnie called out to him.
"Wait, there's nothing to be afraid of hearing."
"Just wait here, I'll call him right away."
Winnie said as she picked her phone up.
"Winwin."
There was excitement in Brian's voice.
"Mr. Bennet, are you with the kids?"
Winnie's address immediately put distance between them and cooled Brian's heart.
"No, I was outside."
Brian answered truthfully. Winnie's call excited him, but the distant address brought his excitement to
an abrupt halt.
"I'm taking the kids out, I can go pick them up now I guess. Don't worry, I can guarantee their safety."
Winnie said politely, and for fear that Brian wouldn't agree, she deliberately emphasized the safety
issue.
"Winwin ...... I am ok with it."
Brian swallowed back what he intended to say for he was out.
He wanted to tell Winnie not to be so polite about anything between them, or they were further away.
"Thank you!"
Winnie hung up the phone after she finished. Although she was not used to this way of speaking, she
should be polite to him.
"You go get your daughter and I'll get my two kids."
Winnie felt more relaxed to Finn compared when she talked to Brian.
"My daughter is in my office, we'll go pick up Megan and Luke together, so that I can protect you."
Finn had long promised her daughter to come out and play today, but he got a task temporarily, so he
brought her to his office.
"Well then, let's go pick up the kids together."
Winnie smiled, and then got up to gather the things on her desk.
"Drive your car, my car is small."
Finn suddenly realized the benefit of Winnie's car being big at this time.
"No problem, here the car key, you drive."
Winnie tossed the car key to Finn.
The two took Finn's daughter along to the suburbs, with Finn driving, Winnie co-piloting, and Finn's
daughter sitting in the back.
When they reached the suburbs, Finn and his daughter waited in the car, and Winnie went in alone to
pick up the kids. Soon Megan and Luke came out.
Winnie still sat in the passenger seat while three kids sat in the back.
The car began to pull away from the suburbs and the kids began to communicate.
"Hello guys, let me introduce myself first. My name is Finella Poole, and I'm a third grade student at XX
Primary School. My dad is Mr. Poole who is driving the car."
Finella spoke first to introduce herself. She seemed like a steady, well-behaved child with stories in her
eyes and maturity in her voice that didn't fit her age.
"But you guys look familiar to me, are you from my school?"
Finella mused inquiringly, from the moment she saw them both in the car, she had a feeling she had
seen them somewhere before.
"Hello, Finella, we are your schoolmates. My brother and I are in first grade."
Megan was active and spoke first. And she was excited to hear that they were in the same school.
She liked Finella, she was pretty, kind and approachable.
"Oh ...... I remember, the twins speaking for the first grade students."
With such a reminder from Megan, Finella suddenly remembered.
"Yes, my brother and I spoke on behalf of the first grade students."
"Finella, I'd like to introduce myself first. My name is Megan Bennet, you can call me Megan."
"Brother, it's your turn."
After introducing herself, Megan reminded Luke.
"Hello, Finella, my name is Luke Bennet."
Luke's introduction was simple. He also liked Finella, but his personality was different from Megan's, he
was not good at showing his joy and sorrow to outsiders.
"Hello, it's nice to meet you."
Finella was significantly more stable than Megan.
"We're happy to meet you too."
A few kids got to know each other and started chatting.
Finn, who was driving in front, was always alert and occasionally listened to the kids' interesting
conversations. Winnie, on the other hand, always listened to the kids' childish words with the corners of
her mouth raised.
"I didn't expect them to be get along well."
Finn opened his mouth, but remained alert.
"Yes, our kids are kind and affectionate, and have single parents, so of course they have a lot in
common."
Winnie responded to Finn. She felt that the most important reason why the kids could be so compatible
was that they had the same family upbringing and the same attitude towards things.
"Well, you're right."
Finn nodded approvingly, he had always thought his kid was well educated, but after meeting Winnie, a
single mother, he felt he had to work hard.
"Megan's name has its meaning, doesn't it?"
Finn suddenly asked a question that was already considered gossip for him.
"Well ...... how can I put it? In the beginning my two kids were separated, and Megan was with me, and
Luke was with Dad. Megan started with the name Megan Chambers."
"Then we met her father, and her father changed her name into Megan Bennet, nothing special, just
the last name was changed."
Winnie explained simply.
As for the name Megan Bennet, at the time Winnie thought it meant that Brian pined for her. But now
that she thought about it she had made a fool of herself, how could he miss her if he didn't love her?
Hearing Winnie's explanation, Finn did not believe that the name Megan Bennet did not have any
meaning.
But he did not say it out, so as not to affect Winnie's emotions.
"Finella's name has a special meaning. Her mother’s name was Ella, I changed her name to Finella
after her mother died."
When Finn first talked about the origin of the name Finella, Winnie was the first person to hear it.
"It has two meanings, she misses her mom and I love her mom always."
Finn suddenly became sad.
"You are putting a yoke on yourself. Why do you burden yourself since she had died?"
Winnie didn't know how to comfort him, but she could see that Finn still loved his wife.
"I felt indebted to her. There is only so much I can do to make up for it."
Finn was emotionally disturbed but was trying to control himself.
He never said these things to anyone, and kept everything in his psyche to bear by himself.
Winnie didn't say any more, because she didn't know what to say.
Finn usually was a powerful, resolute and tough man, with ideas and strategies. But she had never
thought that his heart was also broken.
Both were speechless and their focus began to shift back to the sound of the three kids' frolicking.
Two adults and three kids went to the amusement park first and then to the theme park.
The three kids were free to do their own thing once they arrived at the theme park.
Winnie, meanwhile, sat to the side and watched them play.
"Here is the milk tea."
Finn walked over and handed Winnie a cup of milk tea. His joking tone made her relieved.
"Thank you for the milk tea."
Winnie did not feel burden when she was with Finn, like they were good friend for many years.
"Are you satisfied with the milk tea? I remembered you don't drink coffee when you're not working, so I
got you milk tea."
Finn's words froze Winnie's smile, but soon she reacted.
"Yes, you are so sweet, how come I am not satisfied?"
For a long time, she had a headache when she drank coffee. When going out with friends and
colleagues, she just took a sip or simply did not drink.
She drank a little at work because it was refreshing, and kept the amount that would not make her have
a headache.
