Chapter 28 We can still be Friends
“Then why did you get into my bed?”
Brian was suddenly furious and questioned loudly.
"Mr. Bennet, you said there was nothing between us."
Brian said it a few days ago, and it was still clear in Winnie's ears and he should not shout loudly for
something that did not happen.
"Are you angry?”
To Brian, it was a provocation.
"No, I have no reason to be angry."
Winnie said in disdain and her heart was messy.
If she had to admit it, she would admit it. Winnie continued.
"Mr. Bennet, even if anything happened to us, it was something you and I wanted to do. We agreed at
first..."
"Shut up. I don't want to hear your nonsense. Are you playing cat and mouse with me?"
Brian was in a high mood. He called her to ask if she was in trouble, but he was infuriated by her
understatement.
"You..."
Winnie could not accept such an accusation. She wanted to refute it, but she endured it. If she
continued to say, she could not change Brian's idea and could only argue about it.
Let him say what he wanted.
Winnie turned to leave.
At the gate of the kindergarten, Winnie came to pick up Megan.
"Auntie!”
Luke ran out quickly.
"Luke!”
They were passionate like they had not met for a long time. But in fact, they met almost every day.
"Mommy!”
Megan followed up and raised her head.
"Hello, Uncle!
Brian stood behind Winnie. Hearing the greeting from Megan, his expression softened.
"Daddy, do you come to pick me up?"
Luke asked excitedly, it was the second time his father came to pick him up, it seemed that there would
be a third time and a forth time.
"Drop by to pick you up."
Drop by? Drop by for what? Brian asked himself.
"Mr. Bennet."
Winnie said politely. Then...
"Mr. Bennet, Megan and I gotta go."
Winnie took the hand of Megan to leave.
"Auntie, I want to go to your house to play."
Luke hurriedly stopped Winnie.
But before Winnie answered, Brian said coldly.
"Get in the car and I'll take you there."
Luke was shocked.
"Take me to where?
Luke thought his Daddy would take him to his house and obviously he was in retreat.
"To Megan's house."
"Really? Thank you, Daddy!"
It was full of surprised forLuke today.
Luke ran two steps to the car and came back to hold Megan’s hand and then ran to the car together.
"Mommy, I'll take Uncle's car home."
Before Winnie opposed, they had gone.
What was going on here? What was Brian trying to do?
After parking the car in the community, when they were to go upstairs, they accidentally saw Leo.
Winnie was stunned for a moment before she went to Leo.
"How did you find this place?"
"Come and see you."
Leo was gentle, different fromBrian with a frozen face.
"Mr. Bennet, you are here too."
Leo greeted as if nothing had happened, but the warm scene of the four people made him jealous and
uneasy.
"Mr. Johnson, you are not supposed to be here."
Brian said coldly and there were dangerous sense in his eyes.
"Mr. Bennet, you may not know thatWinwinand I are old friends, and we can gather since she came
back."
Leo was still gentle, which made people comfortable.
Leo called the name of Winnie in an affectionate manner, which made Brian's face cloudy, it was dark
like the devil and scared people.
Winnie felt the strange atmosphere and quickly looked back at Brian.
"You take the child ren upstairs first, I have something to say with Leo."
“Uncle, let's go upstairs.”
"Daddy, I am tired and want to go up to rest."
The two children were clever and hurriedly pulled Brian upstairs.
Winnie and Leo came to a pavilion in a small park.
"Leo, I had made it clear about the matter between us. Things are over and we are all fine. Don't bother
me any more."
Winnie said gently, she did not pursue this matter four years ago, now she would not make troubles to
them. However, things seem to be in reverse, Leo and Penny always made troubles to her.
Winnie did not want these complicated things to continue, and did not want to see Leo and Penny.
"Winwin, I know. The thing is in the past, we can not be lovers but we still can be friends. You just came
back and are unfamiliar with this city. If you need help, please let me know."
Leo said sincerely.
Leo's sudden change made Winnie stunned. Two days ago he argued with her about who wa right and
who was wrong. Why did he want to be friends today?
"Leo, I don't need any help now. If I so, I will let you know."
Winnie’s heart was bitter. If four years ago Leo helped her, everything would be different.
There didn't seem to be much point in being friends now, and she didn't believe that two people who
had been in love could ever be true friends. And now Winnie was careful to make friends, for fear of
being fooled.
Winnie said and turned around.
"Winwin, don't take revenge on Penny. Don't get too close to Brian."
Leo had been worried and became more worried when he saw Brian was with her.
If this scene was seen by Penny, Winnie would be in trouble.
Winnie stopped, and when she heard the real purpose of Leo's coming here, her mouth showed a
radian of self-mockery.
Penny was an insidious woman, but the men loved her and protected her unexpectedly were the best.
God was unfair.
For the sake of Penny, Brianeven dared not admit that they had sex, and Leo came to her to persuade
her as her friend.
These men went too far. Why they considered her as a stepping stone to lovePenny? Why did they all
protect Penny? Did Penny save the galaxy in her last life?
Winnie was full of grievances. She could blames herself did not grasp her own destiny. Why did she
meet these two men?
Winnie took a step and turned around. Something very important suddenly occurred to her.
"Leo, I have a question, I hope you can answer me honestly."
"Ok." Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
"When you made the last call to me four years ago, you were with Penny, right?"
Winnie got serious, but Leo was nervous and thought that Winnie was to expose the things.
"Yes."
Leo thought for a moment before he answered.
"You were together till the end ofPenny's study?
"Yes."
Listening to Leo's answer, Winnie's heart began to tense up.
She continued.
"She hasn't come home once in all this time?"
"No, at the end of her study, her biological father found her, but she insisted on returning after
completing her studies.That is when we broke up."
Leo was ashamed. Since he knew the truth four years ago, Leo felt himself a bastard when he thought
of that.
"Thank you for telling me this. Leo, you don't have to worry about Penny, I won't do anything to her. Go
back."
Winnie turned to leave, regardless of the helpless Leo. He was not worried about Penny, he was afraid
thatWinnie would get hurt.
As soon as Winnie came out of the elevator, she was pulled to the corner of the escalator bLKrian.
"What does he want with you? What's the relationship between you and him?"
Brian asked loudly with a angry face.
"Do I need to tell you what the relationship between you and him is?"
Winnie was not weak and asked with her eyes widened.
She had been enduring when she was with Leo, because she did not want to make it big, but why did
Brian be mean to her again? What she did to annoy him?
"Don't you forget, you were in my bed, so you're my woman. If you seduce a man again, I will not
forgive you."
Brian did not hear the answer. Seeing Winnie’s provocation, he felt that two people had a problem.
"Brian, I am your woman since I were in your bed? Why daren't you say I am your woman when Penny
asked?"
Winnie said loudly. She had enough grievance, and Brian was still mean to her, did he want her to
break down?
"Winnie..."
Brian was furious, but suddenly he realized one thing.
"How did you know her name was Penny?"
Brian frowned and asked coldly.
Winnie was stunned, and then realized that Brian did not know about the feud between her and Penny.
Since he didn't know it, she would not tell him, or things would get worse.
"I heard it from the colleague."
Winnie was not good at telling a lie. For fear that Brian would see her indeterminacy, she hurriedly
escaped Brian’s eyes which could see through everything.
"Winnie, you lied, they won’t tell you about it. Tell me about the truth?"
Winnie's cover made Brian doubt.
"It is ok if you don't believe me. I have nothing to say. Besides, my relationship with Leo is none of your
business. Whatever's going on between us, it's an adult game. Don't tie me with that."
Winnie was strong. No matter how Brian asked, she would not tell her feud withPenny. If so, one more
person would know about her shame and there would be more chance for others to humiliate her.
Especially Brian, he had a prejudice against her, so she could not let him know too much.
"......"
Brian glared at Winnie angrily. Even if she did not tell him, he could find it out. But her stubbornness
went to the extreme.
"I'll go back and cook for the children. If you trust me, just leave the child here. If you don't trust me,
come later and pick him up."
Winnie made it clear that she did not want Brian to stay for dinner.
“I don't feel ease leaving my child with a cheater. I'll take him home now."
Said Brian angrily. He went straight toWinnie's house to see how long her stubbornness could last. He
wanted to see if he could have dinner in the evening.
"You..."
Winnie quickly ran to catch up.
"What are you doing? He hasn't been here for days. Can't he stay here for dinner?"
Winnie did not want to separate from Luke and could lower her voice.
"......"
"Fine, you stay for dinner, too."
