"No, I don’t like her, but, if I really get Winnie, you should be happy, after all, a rival is gone."
Brian did not admit it, for fear that the words would reach Brian’s ears. But his hypothesis had already exposed his heart. Wendy was not a fool and she could understand.
"I'd rather have a rival than you are with her. She was your brother's woman, and it would be incest if she is with you."
Wendy was still joking, but what she said was from her heart.
She cannot accept that fact that Winnie was with Brian and did not want Winnie to be with Jack. If she with Jack, she would have more opportunity to approach Brian, which she hated extremely.
"You are mean. It seems that you don’t like Winnie. But you've been gone for years, you can’t expect Brian to be single and wait for you. It's normal for men to think about finding a woman to fill their loneliness."
Jack did not agree what Wendy said. He could court the woman he liked as long as she was not married.
"I understand, so Winnie is only for fun. If you are serious, you are a silly man."
Wendy did not like the people who always mentioned Winnie and were related to Winnie. She must be alert.
"Well, I don't know. If Brian was just for fun, will you be so nervous?"
Jack became serious. He did not want to hear the slur on Winnie.
In his view, Winnie's quality and character were better than Wendy’s.
Wendy was uncomfortable, but she did not show it, but the topic could not be continued, otherwise Jack would be angry at her because of Winnie.
As Wendy came to Brian's office, Brian was back from a meeting. She did not tell him she saw Jack.
"Can we go now?"
Soft sweet voice echoed in the ear of Brian, but Brian thought of another voice.
It was not so soft, it was not so seduced, but he missed it.
"Yes, Kevin has been on the road, let’s go."
Brian put a file in the drawer and locked it. It seemed to be a very important document.
Wendy was curious about it. She wondered if there might be something more important about Winnie.
When Brian and Wendy arrived at the restaurant, Kevin and Daenerys were already sitting there.
"We are late. Daenerys, this is Wendy."
"Kevin's wife, Daenerys."
Brian took off his coat while introducing.
"Hello, I am Wendy, Brian's fiancée."
Wendy gently greeted, but the words of her self-introduction made Daenerys uncomfortable.
Although Wendy was gentle, Daenerys always felt she was showing off her position.
"Hello, I am Daenerys."
Daenerys tried to get up but was stopped by Kevin, so she said hello sitting there.
However, it made Wendy uncomfortable, but it soon passed.
"Sit down, don't be so polite."
Brian called Wendy to sit down and sat down himself.
"Have you ordered the foor?"
Brian looked up and asked Kevin.
"Yes, I have ordered what you like, what I like and what Daenerys likes. I don't know what Wendy likes. Let Wendy order some dishes."
Kevin said indifferently, compared with Daenerys, he was the man who did not like Wendy.
They knew each other a long time ago and disliked her a long time ago.
At that time, Brian was crazy. He could not show that he hated Wendy, but he did not say Wendy was good.
"No need, anything will do for me."
Wendy declined politely. Her attention was not on the food but on Daenerys.
Daenerys did not show the same enthusiasm for her as she had seen that day. This was a sign of dislike. Since she did not like her, she would speak for Winnie.
"How long have you been pregnant?”
"Seven months. Two months to go."
Daenerys said with a smile, although the first impression Wendy gave her was not good, she should be polite.
"Good, I envy that you're about to become parents. I want a baby of my own too."
Wendy envied from heart.
"If you came back early, your child can run now. You made a wrong decision."
Kevin said jokingly, but sarcastically accused Wendy.
If she had come back earlier, those things would not have happened between Brian and Winnie, Winnie would not have been injured, and Brian would not have been in such a dilemma as now.
Daenerys had different interpretation of Wendy’s words. It seemed that she still didn't like Brian's children, otherwise she wouldn't be looking forward to having a baby of her own.
Poor Luke and Megan, when could they have a good stepmother?
