Winnie continued to work overtime and because it was too late, she did not come to pick up her children in the suburbs. Not until the next day after work, she got some time.
She drove to the suburbs alone, but there was a visitor.
She found it out when the car got into the yard and it was too late to avoid. As she got off, the two children ran over.
"Mommy."
"Auntie."
Winnie knew what was going on when she heard that Luke called her auntie. The visitor in the pavilion should be Brian's uncle.
Originally, she planned to have dinner here before returning with her children, but now it seemed that she could not stay here. If she said anything wrong and brought trouble to Brian, she would become a sinner.
"Have you been good here?”
Winnie greeted the children with a smile.
"Yes."
Megan answered and then she took Winnie's hand and made her squat down.
"Mummy, Daddy said there's a visitor here. He's Daddy's uncle."
Megan conveyed Brian's words in a low voice.
Winnie took a look at Megan and understood what Brian meant.
It seemed that Brian was still worried that she would say something wrong.
"I see."
At this time, Rufus came over. Stella and Brian saw her, but they continued to chat.
Winnie was embarrassed by that.
"Winwin, you come at the right time. Have dinner here before you leave."
Rufus said enthusiastically.
"No, Sir, I am here to pick up the kids. I still have work to do. I'll be late for work if I have dinner here."
Winnie made an excuse because it was not her place.
"You need to have food and it is weekend, you should have a rest. Both children are hungry. Eat before you go."
Rufus insisted to ask Winnie to stay.
"My aunt has got dinner ready. We can have dinner at home."
Winnie bowed her head and asked the two children for advice.
"Do you want to go back with me, or wait for your father to see you off after dinner?"
"I... Mommy, I want to go back."
Megan whispered. There was a stranger here, and the stranger seemed not to like her, so she did not want to stay.
"Then I'll go back too."
Luke felt it was not fun to stay alone.
"Well, I'll take you home."
Winnie, who knew her children best, felt her child's awkwardness in front of strangers.
"Sir..."
As Winnie was about to say goodbye to Rufus, Jack walked quickly over and interrupted Winnie.
“Hello, Beauty, nice to meet you again."
Jack greeted her politely.
"Hello."
Winnie replied gently, forcing a smile on her face.
"It seems that we have predestined relationship, but the way of knowing each other is special. I am Brian's younger brother, my name is Jack Bennet. May I have your name?"
Jack asked Winnie her basic information and did not want to miss the chance again.
"Hello, my name is Winnie Chambers."
Winnie introduced herself politely but simply.
"Miss Chambers has a very nice name. Where do you work?"
Jack continued to ask, and Brian came over.
"Luke, Megan, I take you to wash your hands and get ready for meal."
Although Brian's tone was calm, he wrinkled eyebrows. Winnie felt uncomfortable.
"Uncle, Mommy's here to take us home. I'm coming home with Mommy for dinner."
Megan said to Brian.
"Daddy, I'm going to Auntie's."
Luke also said.
"Ok."
Brian did not retain, but hoped Winnie to leave earlier. He hated the image of Jack chatting with Winnie.
Winnie understood Brian's impatience and said.
"Sir, I'm so busy with my work that I won't have dinner with you. And I am not going to say hello to the visitor, please help me to explain."
Winnie said.
She knew Rufus was really want to stay her, also knew that only Rufus cared about her. But because of Brian, she could not stay.
"Drive carefully."
Rufus did not continue to detain her.
"Megan, Luke, get in the car."
Winnie gave Rufus an apologetic smile and left with the children.
"Brother, you come at the wrong time. You don’t give me chance to talk with beauty."
Jack looked at the car to leave and complained.
"Stay away from her, she's not one of those women around you."
Brian's tone was obviously with warning.
"What is the difference? She just has a kid. It doesn't matter."
Jack said arrogantly, which annoyed Brian.
"Put your energy into your work and you can achieve great achievement."
Brian said coldly and directly turned to leave, leaving Jack who was puzzled.
Brian returned to Stella, looking upset.
"Why did Winwin leave?"
Stella asked.
"She needs to work."
