They successively walked out of the bedroom and came to the living room.
Winnie stood by the window, seeming to be thinking about something. Her figure was alone and lonely, without sharpness that a cheater should have.
Winnie turned to look at Brian when she heard that Brian also came to the living room.
"I'm sorry for the kid. I'll have a good talk with her tomorrow. It won't happen again."
Winnie whispered. Her voice was lonelier in the stillness of the night.
"It's not her fault. You shouldn't blame her."
Brian lowered his voice, but it was still cold.
"I don't blame her. It was the truth that she had no Daddy, she has to be strong and can't call anyone Daddy."
Winnie blamed herself that she could not give Megan a complete family, it was her bleak life affected the child. But she was unable to change anything and could only be strong.
Winnie paused for a moment and continued.
"There's one thing we've all overlooked about Luke. He may not miss his Mommy, but he'll miss you. Let’s fix a time that you meet him and take him home for a night, or take him to the Chairman's."
At this Winnie stopped and took a deep breath.
"And please don't come here again, otherwise Megan will be jealous of Luke."
As this words fell, it felt like breaking up. It was sad but she was reluctant, but what was she reluctant about?
This man was of great ability at work. He was handsome, wealthy and powerful. However, that was not Winnie wanted. Why did she feel reluctant?
"We had not talked about that."
Brian suppressed his anger and looked at Winnie coldly.
"It was an oversight. Mr. Bennet, for the children's sake, don't bother me about such trifles."
Winnie said indifferently, without showing any emotion on her face.
She did not want what happened today to happen again. She did not want Megan to rely too much on Brian. She did not want to see the cruelty that Megan could not recognize her father.
Brian was speechless but there was indignation on the face.
In a moment, he got up and left angrily.
Winnie took a deep breath, but found herself inexplicably trembling. She seemed to feel wronged.
She turned around, looked at the silent night outside, and unconsciously lowered her head to look down. That figure even was dazzling in the night, but such a man was only suitable to be a leader.
Quietly watching Brian's figure disappeared in her sight, Winnie turned around.
She went to the sofa, threw the decadent her into sofa and wanted to relax, but the telephone rang.
She looked at the caller ID and she began to fret again.
"Do you think it's all right to call at this late hour?"
Winnie spoke first.
"Why not? You've taken my man and my child. Why can’t I make a phone call? Winnie......"
Penny said insidiously. Even on the phone, Winnie could imagine how ugly her sly face was.
Winnie did not want to argue on the phone, afraid of affecting the children, so she directly interrupted Penny.
"Talk tomorrow, pick a time and place."
Winnie hung up the phone.
The next day was the weekend, Brian came to pick up Luke.
He still clearly remembered Winnie's words last night, so he did not go upstairs.
"Take Luke down."
The tone of Brian in the phone was icier.
"Where are you going to take him?”
Winnie asked anxiously.
"Back to the old house."
Winnie sighed and then hung up the phone. She had not got used to the way they spoke, feeling like strangers.
Winnie did not feel relieved if Megan stayed upstairs alone, so she took her down too.
She was worried that Megan talked nonsense when she met Brian, but they met Leo at the door of the first floor.
Leo was to go in and Winnie was to go out.
"Leo, help me with Megan. I'll take Luke to the parking lot."
Winnie was in hurry and entrusted Megan to Leo.
Leo did not ask the reason but agreed.
"Go and leave Megan to me."
Leo said, bent directly bent to pick up Megan and then saw Winnie and Luke out.
Winnie thought Brian would be waiting for her in the parking lot, but she found Brian was in the pavilion.
Brian had a tall and straight figure. Even on weekends, he was in customized suit, with both hands in his pockets. He stood there like a God.
The smooth and fair face revealed coldness. The bushy eyebrows, the high nose, and the beautiful lips all revealed his noble and cold temperament. But his black and abstruse eyes were so cold that she lose all reverie to him.
Winnie walked to Brian holding Luke’s tender hand.
"His stomach is bad these days, don't give him raw and cold things to eat. If..."
"I will take care of my child."
Winnie just wanted to remind him, but her words dissatisfied Brian.
Winnie was embarrassed and simply stopped talking to Brian.
She squatted down, looking at Luke dotingly.
"Luke, remember what I said, don't let yourself sick. When you are in great grandpa’s, be polite and don't be naughty. And take care of your own safety."
