Chapter 47 Don't Sweat the Small Stuff
They successively walked out of the bedroom and came to the living room. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
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."
"I know, Auntie, don't worry, I will do as you say. I'll be back tonight, you and Megan wait for me."
Luke answered. He was not afraid to go to great grandpa’s, besides, Daddy personally came to pick
him, he was in a good mood.
"Ok, I will wait for you."
Winnie got up, but found that Brian was staring at them standing in the doorway coldly.
Megan's line of sight had not moved from that Brian was holding Luke’s hand.
"I envy him."
Megan involuntarily murmured.
"For what?"
Leo was baffling, because he had never contacted children before, he did not understand their way of
thinking.
"I envy Brother Luke that he has Mommy and Daddy. He has a happy home, but I don’t."
Megan was sad, and Leo felt sorry for her.
Leo suddenly was silent. Her wish was simple, but it was an extravagant hope for her.
"Don't envy, as long as you want, you will have Daddy and a happy family."
Leo comforted Megan.
"No, I won’t. I asked Uncle Brian last night to be my Daddy, but he refused."
At this point, Megan felt wronged. She quickly turned her head around and hugged Leo's neck with her
hands, and put her head on his shoulder, no longer looking at Brian.
Leo froze and looked at the direction of the pavilion blankly.
What was the relationship between Brian and Winnie now?
In his view, Winnie got close to Brian to revenge Penny, and Brian had a family and enjoyed prominent
social status, he was impossible to have too close relationship with Winnie.
But why Megan and Brian talked about such an intimate topic? Brian refused, so it proved that there
was no relationship between the two people, but why Brian had desire in his eyes to Winnie?
That Megan turned on Leo's shoulder was caught by Brian. He suddenly felt loss, like his child was
stolen by others, like his child called others Daddy, which made him crazy.
"Daddy, let's go."
Luke urged.
"Luke......"
Brian had impulse, but he stopped as he was about to speak.
He wanted to take Megan to play together and did not want to see her rely on Leo. But Winnie's
warning last night again occupied his him, so he gave up that thought at once.
Without saying a word, he left with Luke.
On the way to the Bennet’s old house.
"Luke, why is Uncle Leo there?"
Brian asked in a deep voice. Leo's appearance made him mind.
"Uncle Leo lives there, too. He's our neighbor. He lives in Gate 2, and we live in Gate 1."
Luke answered, not aware of anything wrong.
Luke's words stunned Brian, for that Leo lived there and that Luke considered that as his home.
"Leo lives there, 18th floors of Gate 2?"
"Yes."
Luke answered, playing with the gift his great grandfather gave him with excitement.
Brian’s eyes became cold. He made a call.
"Albert, check why Leo is Winnie's neighbor."
Brian put down the phone and felt distressed at the thought that Leo was holding Megan.
There was silence in the car for a while.
"Luke, why did you say it was your home?"
"You mean Auntie Winwin's?"
"Yes."
"I think it is warm and it is like a home to me. And she is good to me, so I take that as my home."
Luke said frankly.
He used to say his great grandfather's home and his Daddy’s home, he never said "my home". Auntie
Winwin was the first place he called a home. he was very proud about that.
"Is Auntie nicer to you than Mommy?"
Brian was surprised by Luke's answer and did not understand why he liked Winnie so much.
"......"
Mentioning of Mommy, Luke was silent and stopped playing with the toy.
For a Moment.
"Auntie is better to me. I can't feel Mommy's heart."
Luke was bold to say, but then he said more crazy words.
"Daddy, divorce Mommy. I want you to be with Auntie Winwin as Megan."
"Luke Bennet..."
Brian suddenly warmed in a cold voice.
In the past, when Brian warned him like this, he would apologize immediately. But today, instead of
apologizing, he protested in silence.
Winnie went upstairs after seeing Luke off with others.
In the elevator.
"Leo, I need your help."
Winnie said awkwardly.
