Wendy greeted Felix with a smile, but it was a smile she forced herself to make because she had no affection for him.
If it hadn't been for his despotism, if it hadn't been for his contempt for her, there wouldn't have been so many twists between her and Brian, and the two children wouldn't have been there.
"Glad to have you back. Let’s eat, I have been waiting for a while."
Felix lukewarmly said.
He had met countless people all his life and he could see through everyone, so he could see that Wendy's smile was not from her heart.
But even if her smile was from the heart, Felix felt that it was not as nice as Winnie's.
Although he could accept Wendy, he did not like her.
At this point he could only sign that nothing was perfect. Winnie was likable, but Wendy was not. Wendy's family background was ok, but Winnie had nothing.
If they complemented each other, if Winnie had a strong family background, he must ask Brian to marry Winnie. That would be perfect.
Wendy was embarrassed. She took a look at Brian and then followed him to the table.
"Eat, it will be cold soon."
Felix said monotonously.
After Wendy took two bites, Felix once again said.
"The Yup Group a rising star in the business world. It seems your father has a good head for business that it raised quickly in such a difficult environment. But it's a long way from the Bennet Group."
Felix’s meaning was obvious. He wanted to tell Wendy he accepted her reluctantly. If the Yup Group had not succeeded, he would not have allowed her to marry Brian.
"Well, with Brian in the Bennet Group, let alone the Yup Group, no one can surpass it."
Wendy complimentarily said and she understood Felix's meaning.
However, she felt uncomfortable about that, but she did not dare to refute.
"Wendy, you are back to marry Brian. But you must arrange Luke. If you marry Brian, you are Luke's mother, you should treat Luke as your own child."
Felix spoke as if he were giving orders, not in a deliberative tone.
He had to arrange everything for Luke, because he was old and could not tell which day he would die. Rufus was not young and did not have too much energy on the child.
Only Wendy and Brian could accompany the child for a long time, but among the two people, Wendy was the key figure.
"Don't worry, Grandpa. Brian said that Luke will stay with his father and we will visit him on the weekend. Grandpa, about Luke, I think he has his ideas. If I stay with him, we will have contradictions, so it will be good that we live separately."
"And..."
Wendy wanted to continue to find reasons for herself. She thought that Brian had communicated with Felix, so she said fearlessly, but Felix unexpectedly interrupted her words.
"You mean you don't want to live with Luke?"
"I..."
Wendy looked at Felix's serious face and realized that she had said the wrong thing. As she was about to explain, she was interrupted again.
"Brian, ask your assistant to bring your hukou to me tomorrow. And don't get ready for your wedding. I'm going to convalesce for a while. Wait until I come back."
Felix wanted to play tough to Wendy. How dare she refuse to raise Luke? It seemed that she was not as smart as Winnie and needed to be lectured.
"Grandpa..."
Brian finally spoke and wanted to explain for Wendy, knowing that his grandfather was angry, but Felix did not give him a chance.
"I will ask your father to go with me to convalesce this time. Send Luke to Winnie till us come back. Tell Winwin that I trust her to take care of Luke. I thank her."
Felix wanted to make Wendy regret and make her know the existence of Winnie, make her have a sense of crisis. Let's see if she could still talk so loudly.
"Grandpa..."
Brian began to worry. His grandpa was not to create a sense of crisis for Wendy, but make Winnie an enemy.
"Eat, if you are not hungry, you can go now."
Felix’s sullen words shut Brian up and he did not speak again.
Wendy did not dare to explain. She did not expect that Felix was so old, but he was still domineering. But she could not annoy him yet, or he would let Luke's mommy take her place.
Was Winnie mentioned by him Luke's mother? She remembered it and one day she would want to see that woman.
On the way back to the city, Albert was driving. Brian and Wendy were sitting in the back.
"I've told you to watch your language. Grandpa gets provoked easily. Why weren't you careful?"
Brian said sullenly.
He was angry not because the hukou was taken away, not because the wedding was delayed. He felt relieved that the wedding date was controlled by grandpa.
And he could give the children naturally to Winnie. It was an unexpected surprise. However, Winnie was involved, which worried him.
"I thought you had told Grandpa. I didn’t know it would happen."
"Don't be angry, Brian. I'll be careful and I will please grandpa."
Wendy regretted, but it was of no use. She could only think of ways to please Felix.
