Hey, My Twins Babies novel Chapter 55

"Winwin, why has Luke been living here?"

As Winnie sat on the chair, Leo asked. He had a lot of questions, but he had no chance and did not know whether it was appropriate to ask.

"They study in the same kindergarten and they really hit it off and like to play together, so he lives with us."

Winnie found an excuse.

She was not surprised that Leo asked this question, because others might not understand why Luke lived with her.

"I...What is your relationship with Mr. Bennet?"

Leo asked, but he was nervous, for fear that Winnie gave the answer he did not want to hear.

Winnie frowned with her long eyelashes trembling, and then she raised a bitter smile.

"Nothing, boss, employee, that's all."

Winnie said and then sighed, trying to relax herself, but found that her heart was tight.

She had nothing to do with Brian. He belittled her and would not treat her sincerely.

Winnie's words made Leo breathe a sigh of relief, but what he saw on Winnie's face was blank.

"Did Penny get you into trouble?"

Leo asked, guessing Winnie's sadness was related to Penny.

“She came to me more than once, and I don't know why she did that. She did so four years ago, and now..."

Winnie mentioned things happened four years ago angrily started talking about, and then she stopped. She forgot that she was talking to Leo, who was one of the protagonists.

"Forget it. It's all over. I can understand that Penny makes trouble for me. After all, anyone would be suspicious since Brian is here."

"Winwin, four years ago..."

Speaking of things four years ago, Leo was to apologize, but Winnie did not give him a chance.

"Don't mention it again. It was my darkest time. I don't want to mention it."

She felt hurt once it was mentioned, she did not dare or want to recall it.

At that time, Leo and Penny dealt with her together, and not it was Penny and Brian made a hard time to. She could not provoke one of them.

"Ok."

Leo stopped immediately when he saw Winnie was upset.

"Winwin, since you have nothing to do with Brian, it's best to keep a distance from him. This is the only way to keep Penny from keeping an eye on you."

Leo reminded her. He knew Penny was insidious, and she was so when they broke up. He was afraid that Winnie such a nice person would be framed by her.

"I know, I want to stay away from him too, but I failed. Leo, thank you for your reminding. I gotta go, the children will be anxious if they don’t see me."

Winnie did not refuse Leo's kindness, but she could do nothing.

With the children involved, it was impossible to escape the mess. All she could do was to accept it. She might never have a safe life for the sake of her children.

Winnie got up to leave, her lonely figure made Leo feel distressed.

All this was his fault. If he was given a chance, if the time could go back, he must do his best to protect Winnie, never let her have such a helpless moment.

In the next day, Winnie began to take care of Brian. She sent the two children to kindergarten in the morning and met Penny downstairs when she was back.

Winnie knew what Penny was coming for without thinking about it.

She walked to her and said.

“Come to warn me again?”

"I am not here for you, but my husband."

Penny’s face was dark and angry. She became aggressive as she saw Winnie.

"Oh...ok."

Winnie did not expect that. Penny did not come to her. But there was no surprise, they were husband and wife, after all.

Winnie stepped into the elevator with Penny. They did not speak until the elevator door opened.

As the moment the elevator door opened, Leo stood at the door of the elevator, and the three people were all stunned.

It was a historic moment, the three men met for the first time after four years. All three were involved, but Winnie was the only victim.

Winnie was the victim, but she was the calmest. Penny panicked and she moved her eyes away soon after she saw Leo’s eyes, And as the moment the elevator door opened, as the moment he saw Penny, he felt hatred in heart.

He hated Penny and himself, after all, Winnie got hurt because of his too.

"You're going out?”

Winnie stepped out of the elevator and greeted Leo.

"Yes, I go to work."

Leo answered Winnie softly and the hatred in eyes disappeared.

Their insipid conversations made Penney feel tense.

She walked out of the elevator with Winnie to give way to Leo, but Leo did not move.

"It's been a long time, Penny."

Leo said in a stiffened tone. He needed not show tenderness to Penny.

"It's been a long time."

Penny was guilty, but with her present position she was not to show her timid side. She had to pretend she was noble.
