"Her child?"
Jack looked at Megan and Winnie inconceivably. They were alike, but he did not expect that she had a child at her young age. Suddenly, he felt disappointed.
Winnie was surprised to see Brian, but she felt upset to hear what Brian said. However, she forced a smile.
"Sorry, I have to get to work. Paul, can you send me? I am getting late."
Winnie said with embarrassment. She sent Brian's car back, so she had no car to go back and she had to ask Paul for help.
"......"
However, before Paul answered, Brian spoke.
"I'll give you a ride."
Then Brian turned around and walked to the car. Winnie could only allow Brian to send her.
Winnie walked to Brian's car and reached out to open the back door. At that moment, Brian stopped her.
"Sit in the front, I'm not your driver."
Brian said with anger and got in the car directly.
Winnie hesitated for a moment and followed him. She hesitated because she did not understand why Brian was angry with her.
On the way back to the city.
It was quite in the car and embarrassing that Winnie’s belly growled.
Winnie got more embarrassed. But now she could only endure. She did not have food since last night.
"Hungry?”
Brian heard it clearly and asked in a cold voice.
"......"
Winnie did not know how to answer, only to blame her stomach growled at the wrong time.
“Didn’t you have breakfast?”
Brian continued to ask and guessed she did not have breakfast, or she would not be so hungry.
"Yes..."
Winnie was hesitant, which annoyed Brian.
"You have not have food since last night?"
Brian guessed that this was the reason why Winnie answered with hesitation.
"Yes."
Winnie answered affirmatively this time.
"Winnie..."
When he heard that, he got so angry that he braked on the car and pulled over.
"Winnie..."
Brian wanted to scold loudly at Winnie, but hearing that her stomach grumbled, he stopped.
After glancing at Winnie, he pushed open the door and got off.
He went to the back of the car, opened the trunk and found some cakes and milk there.
Brian returned to the car and handed her the food.
"Eat these first."
He said coldly, and started the car again.
Winnie looked at the lunch in her hands. Simple as it was, it meant a lot to her and even touched her.
"Thank you!”
"I'd rather not hear your thanks than see you like this. Winnie, if you let me see you like this again, I will lock you up to prevent you from working."
Even if Winnie objected, even if she wanted to live with dignity, he would never give her the chance. She might as well have lived under his wing as abused herself.
"It won't happen again. The work is almost over."
Winnie promised.
But it would often happen, she just would not let him find it out because she worked hard and did not wanted to be seen by Brian.
There was another silence in the car, and a moment later.
"You know the man in the suburb?"
Thinking of Jack, Brian said in a cold voice.
Jack was famous for his lasciviousness. He would chat up beautiful girls when he saw them. This made Brian the most disgusted.
Today, he knew that Winnie would come to the suburbs to deliver the car. He had contacted with Megan and knew that Winnie would come at this time, so he wanted to make a chance to see her.
But as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Jack chatting with Winnie. He only saw the back of Jack, but he could hear his flirtatious tone from his voice.
This was why Brian got angry at Winnie.
"I don't know his name. He rear-ended my car, so I had to take the subway."
Winnie truthfully said and felt curious why that man was in the suburbs.
"It is him. The car hasn't finished processing. I will ask Albert to deal with it."
To avoid Jack and Winnie to have more contact, Brian had to stop the connection between them.
"No, Leo's assistant has been following it up."
Winnie refused, and Brian was silent again.
It was Leo again. Did he really begin to pursue Winnie again?
A moment later.
