"Ok, we are looking forward to it."
"And cook for Mommy. We are the happiest family in the world."
Megan was very excited, at the moment she felt she was the happiest person in the world with her parents and brother around.
"Ok."
He wanted to cook for his children and the woman he loved every day, which was a kind of low-key happiness.
"Well, let's start eating. Daddy cooked it, you must eat it all."
Winnie said with a smile, but her heart was bitter.
They could only have this happy scene once in a lifetime. After the New Year, the identity of Megan would be revealed, and she was not sure if they could meet again.
Everyone began to eat. The two children obeyed and ate carefully. Brian ate little, but he kept helping food for the children and Winnie.
After dinner, they cleaned up the kitchen. Finally, the two children were kicked out of the kitchen by Brian, and he came to help.
"Take the children back, if you are late, your father will be worried."
Winnie said to Brian as she washed the plates and chopsticks.
"I..."
"We're not going back. We'll stay here for the night."
As Brian was about to speak, he was interrupted by two children who came back.
"Daddy will stay too."
Megan added that she didn't want her hard-won happiness to disappear so soon.
"Grandpa would be worried."
Winnie had been using Rufus as an excuse. The children could stay, but Brian could not.
But as Winnie's words fell, Megan ran away, leaving Luke to explain.
"She went to call Grandpa, and he will not be worried after she called him."
"Haha...You're twins. You know what Megan is going to do. It that empathy."
Brian said with a smile. His children were so smart.
"I think so."
Luke nodded and then turned around to leave composedly.
"Luke changed. He can make jokes now. He is really happy."
Brian felt gratified looking at Luke was dependable now.
"Yes, as long as there is no serious stimulation in the future. Don’t worry, I will let them grow up healthily and happily."
Winnie had the greatest sense of achievement because she gave birth to her children and she was proud of everything about them.
"You have paid efforts."
What Winnie did for the children was far beyond what Brian thought. He wanted to express his gratitude, but Winnie didn't want to hear the words of thanks, so he could only express his gratitude in another way.
"I am their mother, and I should pay efforts."
Winnie looked back and smiled. She never felt hard to take care of the children, but enjoyed it.
"They are my children, too, and I didn't do well."
Brian felt sad. If he had time to stay with the children, Luke would not get depression. He thought the fault was on him, and Winnie cleaned up the mess.
"You paid efforts too. You earn money to support them, that is why you have no time to company them. And I'm responsible for teaching them. It's good to have a clear division of labor."
Winnie felt that they could only live in this way, so there was no expectation in her tone.
Winnie continued to wash the dishes.
"The children want to sleep at home, so let them stay. I'll take them to the suburbs tomorrow before work."
Winnie spoke politely, but Brian understood what she meant.
"You want me to leave?"
"Go back, or Wendy will have wild thoughts."
In other words, Winnie didn't want to cause any more trouble.
"Wendy doesn't live in the suburbs and she won't know where I am."
Brian explained. Winnie should have misunderstood him.
"There are no guest rooms."
Winnie still insisted that Brian go back.
"Can’t I share a room with Luke?"
Brian knew what Winnie was worried about, and that she was adamant about letting him go. But he wanted to stay and to spend the night with the three.
Winnie did not speak again, as a tacit acquiescence. Hearing that, she had no excuse to oppose.
They watched cartoons and chatted in the living room and they did not go to sleeo until the children were sleepy.
There was a problem.
Luke’s room had only one single bed, and Brian was so tall that it seemed far-fetched to share one bed with the child.
"Daddy, why do you sleep with me? Go to Mommy's room. Mommy's bed is big. It is crowded to sleep with me, you know?"
Luke protested. Hearing that, Brian couldn't help laughing.
"I'm sorry I can't keep that promise, and this promise..."
Speaking of that, Brian paused for a moment and then pressed Winnie under his body.
"Winwin, I can’t keep this promise too."
Brian was almost out of control, he gasped and eyes got lust. His heart was beating fast, not listening to his command. Every time he met Winnie, he couldn't help himself.
Winnie had no time to react, the next moment Brian kissed her......
Although it was a tired night, it was the most solid and secure night that Brian had recently, and it was also the only night that he did not have nightmares.
The next morning, Brian had to go to the company to deal with an emergency, so the children could only be sent back to the suburbs by Winnie.
On the way back to the suburbs, the two children sat in the back and talked happily.
They mentioned the day that Grandpa went to pick them up. Naturally, Winnie noticed the topic.
"Grandaunt saw Grandpa when she sent you downstairs?"
Winnie asked.
"Yes."
Luke answered.
"It's the first time they met. What did they say?"
Winnie continued to ask curiously.
"Grandpa asked us to get in the car with Paul first, so I only heard one sentence. Grandpa asked grandaunt to spend the New Year with us."
Megan only heard that. She stopped and suddenly spoke again.
"I think it's not the first time Grandaunt and Grandpa have met."
“Why do you say that?”
Winnie asked.
"They didn't introduce themselves, they didn't say hello and the grandfather knew her name was Isobel."
Megan’s words surprised Winnie.
If she remembered correctly, this was the first time they had met. But why did he know her name?
Winnie felt weird, but it seemed to be normal to think about it. It was possible that the two had already met because of the children.
Winnie indulged Brian last night, and she got hickey on her neck. Fortunately, there was only one, otherwise she would be crazy.
Winwin had to wear a small scarf to cover it. Fortunately, there is nothing wrong with wearing silk scarf in this season, so she did not attract attention from others.
She even forgot it when she was busy. When she was at work, she felt that the scarf around her neck was inconvenient, so she took it off and concentrated on her work.
