Winnie sent a message, but after that, she regretted it. It was like a temptation.
However, the message sent could not been recalled.
“It's the only way, and because I love you, I want all the best for you. Marriage is something you have been waiting for so many years. When you are married, you will be happy and I will feel at ease.”
To cover up the previous mistake, Winnie sent another message.
“Don't worry about the children, they're much better now, and they'll get over it in a few days after you get married. You can't wait forever. You don't have a lot of time to waste.”
Brian received two messages one after another, the first made him feel warm in heart, and the second one was unacceptable.
“Marrying Wendy is something I've been looking forward to for years, but...now that I've waited for years, I can keep waiting for my children. I will keep my promise to my children and never hurt them on this matter.”
“I'm sorry, it's all because of me. If I didn't show up, you wouldn't be in dilemma.”
Winnie had remorse. Although she had saved Luke, she felt sorry for Brian. It was her return that broke Brian's happiness. It was her return that turned his life into a complete mess. Now he could not even have a delicious home-cooked meal.
“Don't say that.”
Brian thought it was he who should say sorry. He felt sorry to Winnie and the children.
“How about...”
As Winnie sent only two words, Brian had known what she wanted to say.
“Do you want to go away with the children? How can I live with peace of mind when the children are gone? What do I do when I miss them? Never say or even think of it again.”
Winnie could not leave. If he could not see her, he would become a walking dead.
“Well, never mind. I'm going to sleep. Good night.”
Winnie did not continue, because she found her heart pain and missed Brian.
Wendy had been brokenhearted about the necklace. When she drank with Klara and Laura, she did not mention it but just said some unimportant things.
“Klara, Laura, do you think that Brian no longer loves me and that we are going to break up?”
Wendy was drunk.
“No, Wendy, you think too much. Mr. Bennet loves you. Otherwise, why does he prepare a wedding room?”
Klara comforted her, but she knew that Brian loved Winnie. Wendy had become the past, but Brian is did not abandon Wendy because of Felix.
But Wendy could hold on to her position for a while.
“I don't think much about it. I think he doesn't love me anymore. In the long time since I have been back, he has never voluntarily held my hand, never kissed me. I have visited the wedding house many times, but he has never been there.”
“He divorced Penny and gave the house to. Where do you think he lives?”
Wendy asked Klara and Laura, but she gave her own answer before they gave a response.
“He's been living in the break room of the company. Is this still a normal man?”
“He... Even if he doesn't have a place to stay, he can find a hotel. Maybe I can stay there too...I'm not allowed to go into his break room.”
“It is abominable, damn Brian, if he dares to abandon me, I will let him regret, and I will vent my anger to Winnie to make him painful.”
Wendy's speech was disorganized and broken.
But these were the stone that pressed on her heart, making her breathless and was to go mad.
She felt that she had been very hard to restore their feelings, but a person's efforts were useless, Brian had to restore it too.
“It must be Winnie’s fault. If she had stayed away from Mr. Bennet, it would not have happened.”
Laura also drank a lot and began to speak freely.
“Yes, Laura, you are right. If it hadn't been for her, I would have been Mrs. Bennet by now. If it hadn't been for her, Brian wouldn't have betrayed me.”
Wendy agreed with what Laura said. She thought Laura was good friend standing on her side..
“Winnie's fault is for sure, so you have to find a breakthrough in Winnie. You can’t go too far to Mr. Bennet, or it will have the opposite effect.”
Klara, the consigliere, began to make plans.
From what Wendy said, she heard important news. It turned out that Brian had been living in the company for so long.
“If I make things too complicated, Brian will feel very sorry for Winnie and will have some complaints against me. I'm wondering if I can find a way not to be found by Brian.”
Wendy hoped that Winnie could disappear as soon as possible and take the two children away. But Luke was the most precious treasure for the Bennet family, they would allow Luke to leave.
If Luke would not leave, Winnie would not leave. Winnie would take the child as an excuse to haunt Brian for a lifetime. Even if she married Brian, she would not be happy, because there would always be a Winnie between them.
“Then take the time.”
Klara said darkly.
“What do you mean?”
