Chapter 43 Be Your Woman?
Chapter 43 Be Your Woman?
Winnie finally came up with an excuse to for her anxiety, as for Brian believed or not, it would be his
problem.
Brian’s eyes were dark. He was still questioning.
"It is not a big deal, why are you crying like that? Winnie, it's not like you."
"She is not your child, of course you don't care. If you have the chance, experience what it's like to hear
your child cry on the phone."
At the thought that in the dark video Luke was helplessly call her and Daddy, Winnie could not help but
shed tears.
In that dark environment, he must be helpless and desperate. His heart was filled with fear, and Winnie
had been there. She had that feeling when her family was destroyed and she got betrayed by bestie
and boyfriend.
She was an adult, she could endure it, but Luke was still a child......
Winnie really could think more about it, her tears kept falling down, and her heart felt suffocating pain.
She once again secretly vowed that she would never forgive Penny and would fight with Penny.
"Ok, ok, don't cry."
Brian did not continue to ask, but he had doubt in his heart.
"Divorce Penny, and I will be your woman."
Winnie lifted her tearful eyes with hatred. It was so sudden that Brian froze.
"No."
Brian frowned and his eyes turned cold.
"Why? What's good about her? I'm prettier than she is, I'm more capable than she is, I'm more qualified
than she is, I..."
"She's never married. You're a divorced woman."
Brian’s eyes were sharp and his tone was cold.
"Hum..."
Winnie stubbornly wiped away tears and continued after a cold hum.
"Is there any difference between being married and not being married? Was she a virgin when she
married you? If not, you still married a secondhand girl. I just have a child."
Winnie was angry and said rude words.
Winnie would like to try any way that she could keep Luke away from Penny. Even if the way was full of
thorns, for the sake of the child, she would walk on it.
"She has power and status. You don't." From NôvelDrama.Org.
Brian was angry and his icy voice hit the key point.
"Winnie, is this the ultimate goal of your acting today? You want to find a reason to replace Penny's
position. I underestimated you. I thought that you only cheat money, you only want money. I didn't think
you were so ambitious as to be Mrs. Bennet.”
Recalling what Winnie had done and said to deliberately provoke Penny, Brian finally realized that she
was careerist no matter how her ability was.
Brian paused for a moment and continued to coldly say.
"Winnie, let me tell you, I am not a person who can be cheated by anyone. You can’t be Mrs. Bennet.
Put away your ambitions and work well, or I'll ruin the rest of your life.”
Brian said before he got up proudly, regardless of Winnie who was weak in bed.
"Brian, am I that bad in your eyes? I have no status and right, I should come once you asked me to?
You were lonely, I should come to your bed? The heat of the bed has not completely faded, you
immediately called me a cheater. So what is your plan? Avenge your wife?"
Winnie did not rebuke but said in a low voice. Because Brian's words had hurt her that she could even
not refute.
Her eyes were full of wronged tears. She tried hard to hold them back.
"......"
Brian had nothing to say, not because he didn't know what to say, but because he saw the injustice in
Winnie's eyes, so he kept silent.
Brian could not bear to see the moisture in Winnie's eyes, so he turned around...
"Brian, I will give you only this chance. If you don't agree, don't ever ask me to be your woman again.
Don't ever drag me to bed again.”
Winnie was trying her last effort to induce Brian, but Brian did not stop but resolutely left.
Winnie was decadent and sad. It seemed that Brian's feeling to Penny was deep, and he would not
give up Penny easily because of her the cheater.
In the next day, Winnie went back to B City alone after work. She was in a hurry to go back to see Luke
and to appease him.
When Winnie got home, it was already 9 p.m.
She felt relieved when she opened the door and saw Megan and Luke were watching the cartoon in the
living room. But her excitement could not be contained.
She ran to Luke, directly knelt on the ground and held Luke in his arms.
"Sorry, Luke, it is my fault."
Winnie could not again control her emotion and burst into tears.
"Auntie......"
Luke froze, but later he cried too holding Winnie. He thought of himself as a man and held back tears
when he came back here. But after being held in the arms of Winnie, he could not hold back tears
anymore.
"Luke, don’t afraid, I will protect you, no one will bully you. Luke, if you are afraid or wronged, cry loudly.
You don’t need to bear it in heart."
Winnie cried and counseled for fear that the child would be psychologically hurt.
"Ok, I am afraid, I am afraid."
Hearing that, Luke wept aloud.
Winnie was distressed and used all her strength to hug the child, blaming herself. If she hadn't let go of
the child, he wouldn't have suffered this inhuman treatment. It was her fault and she would have spent
the rest of her life trying to make up for it.
Winnie put both children to sleep before returning to the living room.
Her eyes were still swollen from crying and her tears were still swirling in eyes, which made Daenerys
sad too.
“Well, you should be glad you've got your son back anyway.”
Daenerys put a glass of water in front of Winnie, comforting her.
"Yes, I'm glad. I thought that I would never see him again in my life. I thought that when I met him, I
could not recognize him. It was a surprise and it is more surprising than that I saw an alien."
Winnie was glad, but it was too bitter.
"Daenerys, I've decided to stay. No matter my aunt and Vanessa will come back or not, I will not leave.
I want to protect Luke, I can't let him continue to be hurt. Penny is too cruel, she is inhuman and she
will ruin Luke."
Winnie had made up her mind that even though she had bad memory about this city, Brian made it
tough for her, Penny slandered her, she would stay with Luke.
"I agree, but what are you going to do about it?"
Daenerys felt it was difficult.
"I'm not sure, but I can't reveal my relationship with Luke. Brian will not accept me, and he will not give
me Luke. The only thing I can do is to find another reason to protect Luke."
Winnie was helpless. She had a certain understanding to Brian. It was not simple to keep the secret
while protecting Luke.
"Winwin, why don’t you tell Brian that Luke was beaten, I don't believe Brian will ignore it."
Flankly, Daenerys did not know how to help, and she just came up with this suggestion.
"No, there's some risk. He would not do anything to Penny even if he knows, and he will only suspect
me. In this way, he won't let Luke stay with me, and I won't be able to protect Luke."
Winnie denied Daenerys's suggestion. She had to make decision after she thought about it.
She could not push Luke into a deeper hell because of her own impulse.
"The most important thing for me now is to find a way to keep Luke here."
Winnie said thoughtfully.
The first way had failed, so what else could be used to negotiate with Brian?
The next evening.
The weather was good. The sun was still in the sky. The children in the community were frolicking in
the playground.
Winnie took two children downstairs for a walk after dinner in order to make Luke happy.
Megan took Luke to the children's park to play, and Winnie sat in the pavilion watching.
"Winwin, why are you here?"
Leo's clear and gentle voice was heard. Winnie looked up to Leo.
"I live in this neighborhood. How about you?"
Leo always showed up suddenly, Winnie had got used to it though she had doubt.
"I also live in this neighborhood. Gate 2 on the 18th floor of that building is my home."
Leo happily pointed to a building in front of him. Winnie looked at the building and found she lived in
that building too. What a coincidence.
People said that the world was so big and it was not easy to meet, but she felt that the world was too
small that she met people who she did not want to meet.
"Oh, that's a coincidence. We live in the same building. Gate 1 on the 18th floor. But it's not my house.
It's just a temporary stay."
"It is indeed a coincidence. Winwin, we are destined to meet."
Leo showed a look of surprise.
"When did you get back?"
Winnie asked casually, turning away from the topic. She had long not believe in destiny.
"This morning."
Knowing from Daenerys that Winnie moved here, he spent a day to move here to be her neighbor.
Leo did a lot in order to help Winnie as much as possible.
"Oh, you must be tired. Go back and rest."
Winnie had to make a plan what to do next, so she did not want to be disturbed by Leo, and did not
want to see his eyes that will previous emotion.
When she saw Leo, she would think of Brian and compared them. One was as warm as the sun and
the other was as cold as an ice cave.
The sun would burn people, which the ice cave would freeze the heart into ice. If possible, she would
like to stay away from both of them.
"I am not tired. I've had a day off at the office. Super..."
