Seeing that everyone was happy, Megan was also very happy. She looked at Stella and Vanessa carefully and then gave her opinions.
"Aunt Stella and Aunt Vanessa look alike, Aunt Stella can be Aunt Vanessa's sister."
"Now I call Stella sister."
Vanessa answered Megan with a smile.
"Oh, you are sisters. If someone says that you don't look like Mommy, you can say Mommy is not your sister, but Aunt Stella is your sister."
"And you can take her to your school and brag that you found your long-lost real sister."
With that, Mega cannot help laughing.
The adults laughed together with Megan.
Only Winnie's smile was stiff.
After lunch, the two children went to play in the yard with their grandfather. Winnie, Vanessa and Stella watched the three of them play in the pavilion.
"Winwin, the relationship between my Dad and Brian has not made any progress since you left here with the children. Brian had only been here a few times since then, and sometimes he escorted me here without even entering the courtyard."
"You know, my Dad is getting old and always wants the family to be reunion and to untie Brian's knot in heart. But Brian hated Dad deeply. If this goes on, I wonder if he will be able to wait until the day of family reunion."
"Winwin, can you persuade Brian again?"
Finally, Stella came to the point.
Stella had been wishing it. She night have to go abroad and her father and brother would at home. If their relationship was bad, she would not rest assured.
Now only Winnie could solve this problem, because Brian cared what Winnie said.
"Stella, I......"
Winnie looked embarrassed.
Now she didn't want to see Brian, how could she persuade him?
"Vanessa, you take the children to play, let Rufus rest for a while."
Winnie deliberately told Vanessa to leave. If Vanessa knew it, she would make things bigger.
After Vanessa left, Winnie continued to speak.
"Stella, you know about me and Brian. He...He's with Wendy now and I can't see him."
"I don't know how much Wendy knows about my relationship with Mr. Bennet or how she knows about it. The first time I met Wendy was in Mr. Bennet's office, when she just said some polite words. But as I was leaving, she ran after me and warned me to stay away from him."
Winnie wanted to bury these words in belly, but if she did not say it out, Stella would not understand why she did not help.
"I met Wendy in the hospital a few days ago, and this time her words were sharp. She was warning me."
"Now Wendy was not satisfied with me. If I meet Mr. Bennet again, I'm afraid there will be trouble."
"Wendy warned you like that? How could she be so rude?"
Stella was angry and did not expect that Wendy would be so bad.
"Don't be angry. I don't care."
Winnie comforted Stella.
"Stella, don't tell it to your Dad and Mr. Bennet. I don't want to make things worse."
Winnie was afraid that if Brian knew about it, he would think she was making trouble and that she was instigating between their families.
After all, they were all family, Wendy was his fiancé, and he believed her.
"Winwin, at that time you again and again endured Penny. Albert told me that you have a lot of things that had not been told to Brian. Now you still can endure it?"
"You and Brian cannot be together, but it is your fault. Why do you care those sarcasm?"
Stella's attitude changed. Although Winnie and Brian could not be together, she pitied Winnie.
She was too kind and had been enduring, but the more she endured, Penny became more arrogant.
Stella’s attitude was unexpected. She thought Stella stood on the side of Wendy, so she said implicitly. She had not told Stella what harsh words Wendy had said.
However now Stella was speaking for her, should she be moved?
"Wendy and Penny are not the same. She was not as scheming as Penny and will not so rude as Penny."
"I knew what she meant and how she felt. I didn't want to make a big deal and make it hard for Mr. Bennet. It will be fine if I endured it. After Wendy warned me, I told myself it is my fault and made Wendy overthink. I will stay away from Mr. Bennet and not let Wendy suspect."
What could Winnie do? She had always felt that the more low-key, the better, so that people would not take her as a hypothetical enemy.
"You......"
