The host continued.
"Miss Etiquette, please bring our champion forward so that everyone can see what a magical character he is."
Then Miss Etiquette took Luke's hand and walked to the host.
He was calm and composed, not proud, not excited, but slightly raised the corners of mouth.
Seeing that, Brian knew that his confidence was inherited from Winnie and he looked exactly the same with Winnie.
"Boy, why are you so calm? Are you happy you won the first prize?"
The host squatted down and looked at the handsome and calm Luke.
"Yes."
Luke still gave a smile.
"You should be screaming and cheering."
The host like Luke's confidence and held up Luke.
"I think it would make me proud if I shout and scream. But I'm really happy."
"Wow, you are confident, and your words make sense."
The host was astonished. However, Luke just gave a cool smile.
"Luke, give acceptance speech, and then we will give you the certificate and price."
The host put the microphone to Luke's mouth, looking forward to his speech.
Luke looked at the location of his parents, and then said.
"I have no testimonials. I don't know what to say. But I want to thank my father and mother for giving birth to me and raising me."
Luke was sensible, but Brian and Winnie were more and guilty.
They were the only ones who knew the deeper meaning of their child's words.
They looked at each other with guilty to the children.
"Winwin, thank you for cultivating Luke."
At this time, Brian should say thank from the heart.
Without Winnie, how could he have such an excellent child? Without Winnie, how could he experience such happiness?
Brian also felt guilty to Winnie beside the children.
He did not know whether there was a chance for him to pay for that, he only knew that she could not be hurt. No matter whom he lived with, the three most important people to him were the two kids and the Mommy.
In order to avoid reporters' interviews, Brian could only use his connection, so their identity was not exposed.
After leaving the competition, the family decided to celebrate, but Winnie suddenly received an emergency call from the company, so she had to give the two children to Brian.
"You take them to dinner and bring them back to my house."
Winnie was to leave after, Brian stopped her.
"You are in urgent, and I can send you to the company."
Brian was worried that Winnie feared of taking a taxi.
"No, the kids are hungry. It's quicker for me to take the subway."
"Please take care of them."
Winnie would rather take the subway other than let Brian send her, so as not to be known by Wendy know or cause unnecessary trouble.
After Winnie left, Brian took two children to a Chinese restaurant.
During the meal, Brian made a phone call to Grandpa.
"Grandpa, are you home?"
"Yes."
Felix answered.
"Are Uncle and Aunt at home?"
Brian continued to ask, but the children could not tell what was in his mind.
"Not at home, Uncle Thomas is always not at home. Your aunt was not. Just me and your sister are home."
Felix did not know why Brian asked that.
"I will bring Luke and Megan to your home."
Then he hung up the phone.
"Luke, Megan, I take you to see great grandpa, ok?"
Brian said to two children.
"Ok, I haven't seen Great Grandpa in a long time."
"Me too."
Luke and Megan agreed.
"I have something to tell you before we go. Great Grandpa does not know your identity, in addition to the address, be careful when you talk to great grandpa, don’t let him find anything wrong."
"We can do that."
"Daddy, I can do that."
Both kids had confidence.
"Luke, Great Grandpa doesn’t know you live with Mommy and thought you were in Grandpa's. But Daddy wants to use the fact that you won today to get you to stay with Mommy."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Brian was afraid that the two children could not understand, so he confirmed with them.
"Yes. You lied to great grandpa and now you're going to make it true."
Luke explained. Megan listened carefully.
"You are clever, Luke. Only if Great Grandpa agrees with you to stay with Mommy, you can stay with Mommy all the time."
