Brian wanted to say he had finished his supper, but he was embarrassed that his stomach growled.
"I have not had supper, I mean. Why don't we take the kids to eat outside?"
Leo wanted to spend more time with Winnie and tried to find out if she needed help.
"I..."
Winnie hesitated for a moment.
"All right. I didn't thank you for fixing my car, it's my treat then."
Listening to Leo's hungry grunt, thinking of his help to her, Winnie did not refuse.
They came to a barbecue shop outside the community. The business of the barbecue shop was good, and there was no room anymore, so that could only sat by the window.
Leo only asked the two children what they wanted to eat and then ordered. After the baked food was served, Winnie found that everything except the children's food was her favorite.
"Eat, they are what you like to eat."
Leo said kindly.
They became a couple abroad. Winnie liked to eat barbecue, but it was difficult to find authentic flavor.
Every time he took Winnie out, Winnie would say what kind of barbecue she liked to eat, so Leo remembered it.
At that time, Leo had more than once promised to take Winnie to have delicious barbecue when they got home, but they broke up before they returned.
Thinking of that, Leo felt guiltier and became serious on face.
"Thank you! You eat too, you are hungry"
Winnie thanked him for still remembering her favorite.
They had a nice time at the table, but Brian in a luxurious car parked outside the window was gloomy on face.
He was staring at Winnie's bright smiling face.
From the moment Winnie came back, he was inexplicably worried. He was in a hurry to get everything done and took the last flight back, just to see if she felt better.
But seeing her happy smile was for the man sitting opposite her, Brian longed to cover her beautiful face, and even wanted to fill her dimple with plaster.
Brian thought that Winnie did not come back for Luke. She did not get what she wanted from him, so she turned her target to Leo.
Winnie and Leo came back with the two children. They saw Brian standing at the door as soon as they got off the elevator.
Leo said nothing and walked toward his home with a smile.
Winnie took a look at Brian, and then approached him with a blank expression, holding Luke more tightly, for fear that Brian took Luke away.
Sure enough...
"I am here to pick up Luke."
Brian said coldly and the anger in his eyes was obvious.
"He will stay here today."
Winnie subconsciously pulled Luke closer.
"Daddy, can I stay with Auntie for a few days?"
Luke timidly said. This time Penny hit him more serious than ever, he did not want to see her.
"No."
"Yes."
One was icy, the other was unwavering.
"I have developed a new voice program that can be used in the phone's calculator, which no other manufacturer has. If you agree to let Luke stay with me, YB will make a new chapter in the history of mobile phones."
Brian came suddenly. Winnie had not come up with a good way, so she could only sacrifice the newly developed software.
"......"
Brian frowned and said nothing. Winnie's offer really caught his attention. But such a patent-level piece of software would earn a lot if she sold it.
Why Winnie used it to let Luke stay?
Winnie knew that Brian was attracted by her offer, so she continued.
"We will talk about it tomorrow in the company. They children are tired and should have a rest."
Winnie said, while inputting password to open the door. Regardless of Megan, she pushed Luke into the room, for fear that Brian would regret.
To her surprise, Brian walked in. He changed into slippers, took off the coat and tie, as if he would stay too.
Winnie would not have any fierce debate with Brian, for fear of affecting Luke.
She said nothing and took two children to take bath. After the children fell asleep, Winnie ignored Brian sitting in the living room and went directly back to her room.
Winnie lying on the bed had been listening carefully. If Brian entered her room, he would agree to divorce, but if he didn’t, Brian would choose Penny.
When Winnie got up the next day, Brian had already left. After sending her children to school, she went to the company.
The most important thing today was to work out the agreement that they didn't reach last night.
Winnie came to the president's office directly. Brian was on the phone, Winnie stood aside and did not disturb him.
