They had a good time during the dinner. Brian answered several phone calls, but did not leave because of work.
After dinner, Brian sent Winnie home.
On the way Winnie thought of Brian to arrange bodyguard to her.
"Don’t arrange bodyguard for me, I will be careful."
"I don't believe you. I've been telling you to be careful, you never did."
Brian did not accept Winnie's protest, he must insist or Winnie would be injured.
“Penny will feel uncomfortable if a bodyguard follows me. I will be careful and it won't happen again."
Winnie did not want the bodyguard to follow her. And Penny would be mad to see that and she might not allow her to go into the house.
"I don't care. She hurt you."
"I can dismiss the bodyguard, but I have to go with you."
Brian proposed.
"No."
Winnie could not accept that.
"Choose either of these two options, A or B?"
Brian must insist for Winnie's safety.
"I'm going to go for C."
Winnie protested, but it did not work.
"There is no C. Winwin, I will do it. If you don't believe me, I will contact my bodyguards right now. Even if you go to C City, I will have my bodyguards follow you."
"I'll go for B."
Winnie did not want to talk to him anymore, or she would be angry.
She would rather Brian followed her to see Penny than the bodyguards followed her.
"Good, that's smart."
Brian gave an evil smile.
"I have one more decision to tell you. I've been thinking all afternoon about you leaving with the kids in a year. Finally I decided to, in this year, will arrange everything of the Bennet Group. I will train Jack into a president and I will go with you."
Winnie was startled at the decision of Brian.
"If you go with me, what's the point of me going?"
Winnie was to hide Brian, she would rather stay here if he left with her.
"You left for Vanessa’s future, and I followed you for a complete home for my two kids, and to be with the woman I love."
Brian made it clear.
"Brian, stop that. The two of us... Forget it. I don’t want to say that."
Winnie really wanted to talk to Brian, but she was not sure whether Brian was joking. So if she got serious, Brian might laugh at her in his heart.
She’d better shut up, otherwise she would be hurt.
"Winwin, I am serious, I am not joking. Wherever you go, I'll take the kids with you. I can give up everything I have now, except you and the kids."
Brian once again showed his attitude. He could give up on everything except Winnie and the kids. Even if he was asked to stay home and do housework, he would accept it.
Winnie was hurt before, so she dare not easily believe the words of Brian.
Even though he said so, he had not given up anything for her.
Brian couldn't even give up on Wendy.
She did not mind Wendy and could not erase their love before. But if she was with Brian, Wendy would be in the middle of their life.
Brian did not know who he loved.
She was hurt by him, she loved him, but she could not be with him, so she dare not look forward to what he said.
The next day was weekend, Winnie had full schedule. In the morning, she asked Emily to Daenerys’ house and intended to persuade Emily.
"Well, you haven’t decided yet?"
Winnie raised her voice and smiled. She felt happy to see Emily.
"Emily, you love Leo and you will be happy with him."
Winnie knew Emily could not accept Leo and she was escaping her love for Leo. Unless Emily realized how much she loved Leo, the problem would be solved.
"......"
Emily quietly looked at Winnie, and then at Daenerys.
Was she in love with Leo? How deep she loved him? Was she really taking the child to cover up her love for Leo? Since when did she turn into a chicken?
"Emily, tell me why you can't accept Leo."
Winnie wanted Emily to say what she really feared, so that she could find a solution.
"I... I am afraid he is lying to me and that I will get hurt again."
Emily had been afraid of this. She was sad because she got cheated and afraid that she it would happen again and that Leo did not love her.
"Emily, you are not as hurtful as Winwin. Leo lied to you, but in the process he fell in love with you."
"If Leo did not cheat you, did not use you, you may not have the chance to fall in love, let alone have this child."
"Think carefully, your pain is the beginning of love. Winwin’s pain is the real pain. She made it through, so you have nothing to fear."
Daenerys gave her own opinion. She thought Emily did not think the problem right, so she got trapped.
In fact, the problem was multifaceted, she should at it from another angle.
Daenerys' words made sense. Emily knew that Winnie was more painful than she was.
Winnie experienced so much, but she was still tenacious and never flinched. Even if Leo cheated her and hurt her, she had not been knocked down. Could she be tough as Winnie?
Emily was still silent, so Winnie had to carry out her plan.
"Emily, you are afraid that Leo will hurt you and that he will lie to you. I think I am part of the reasons, it makes me very guilty."
"Emily, don’t let me influence you. What about this, I cut off all relations with Leo, and remove our cooperation at work. Then I can guarantee never to see Leo again, and I can..."
"Winwin, how can you say that? It has nothing to do with you."
Emily interrupted Winnie, she could not let Winnie take the blame. She refused when Leo proposed that to her, but she did not expect Winnie to say so.
